In 2003 my medical practice partner got very angry regarding me diagnosing Metabolic Syndrome. She told me that did not exist, you cannot test for it and it was a trash can diagnosis. When I explained to her what the cluster of symptoms were and the dire implications of it, she scoffed and told me I didnt know what the hell I was talking about!! We parted ways a few months later and I continued to research, learn and very successfully treat it and completely reverse my T2D patients. It was very frustrating in the beginning when metabolic syndrome first came into our zeitgeist. Sadly now 22 years later, there are still providers who refuse to accept how to recognize and properly treat these metabolic disorders. So thanks for all you do to educate the public so they can intelligently challenge their doctors and get proper treatment and eat properly.

I can’t get enough of Dr Bikman! Smartest man in the world when it comes to metabolic health and the ability of poor metabolic health to lead to diseases. Thank you for opening up your huge wealth of knowledge to us !

I love Ben Bikman! He is a true scientist which is surprisingly hard to find these days. ❤️❤️❤️

"Plant protein is INFERIOR to animal protein in EVERY conceivable metric" -Dr. Bikman

I lost 10% body weight within 2 month (8kg) not counting a single calorie. Walk 1hr daily + cycle 4x 90min Zone 2, eat only 2 good sized meals per day, high protein, high (animal) fat, low carb (100g/day). Cut all bread, pasta and most potatoes and rice. No snacks. 2-3 scrambled eggs with bacon and veggies as first meal. Simple as that.

While a good discussion, I don’t believe this addressed the title

An Australian doctor, Dr Sandra Cabot wrote books about insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome over 30 years ago, she was also an advocate of HRT for women long before others caught on

I personally tried both methods of weight loss..... caloric restriction and lowering insulin spikes, here are my results.... Caloric restriction -From 2014 to 2018, loss 80+lbs from 250+lb to 170lb (yet never stopped eating carbs, seed oils and continued with frequent daily meals) By summer of 2023 regained weight and then some to 262lb! In December 2023 started IF and part time carnivore (after watching Dr Fung video), now in May 2024, in just 5 months, I am down 36lb, without counting calories or even trying like I did many years ago, my conclusion is the following: Fasting and eating nutritient dense foods will allow the human body to naturally correct the internal health issues within us all, no need to workout and "burn off" the calories (like I personally did years ago), wish I knew this years ago, I probably would not have regained all of that weight back.... Currently I am a OMAD, a full-time carnivore, light dumbbell workout 2x a week, 4 mile walks 2x a week, that's it, nothing else. (No more excessive crazy madman workouts like years before)

"The best science is often a slow long, slow, passive aggressive conversation" Ze Frank. Loved the description of science in the beginning. Never stop teaching us Prof. Bikman!

Great interview with professor Ben Bikman .. one of the most gentle and spiritual and exceptionally intelligent human being on the internet .. thank you to both Ben's 🙏 prayers from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦

So how do you burn belly fat fast?????

I love dr Bikman. All the way from Botswana.

Insulin resistance is the inability of the fat and muscle cells to respond to insulin's signal to remove the excess glucose from the blood.

The mechanism of no sugar sweeteners as I have read is the body responds to the taste and produces insulin, it doesn’t anticipates fake sweetener. Much like it excretes enzymes for digestion when it smells food, it also anticipates certain types of nutrients and responds. So much information and so much possibility and I suppose more will be figured out as we go along

Insulin resistance is the result of eating too many carbs over a long period of time.

That was a very good interview Always like listening to Dr. Bikman😊

It's interesting when you look at photos from the 50's and 60's of people who ate lots of carbs, but their fats came more from animal sources. The majority were slender. They also were likely more active throughout the day. I grew up in the 70's and I was a chubby kid. My parents were also overweight. I remember we ate a lot of margarine, instead of butter. We also ate lots of sweets.

I watched this twice…it never really explained to a patient how to get rid of belly fat.

(Was binge watching a lot of your videos last night). Another one if my favs! Prof Bikman’s book is another great one! Always a great interview! 🥰

Still have the 42” waist belly fat though weight, other measurements and biomarkers are all reversed and good now after 14 months of clean keto. The talk does not address the title. How is belly fat lost?!

Since starting Daily Krill oil, my Systolic & Diastolic Blood pressure has normalized.

When you get cremated, your fat is gone in 5 minutes.

Unfortunately the good doctors practicing are either retired or no longer alive. So sorry for us the pts.😢. Thank you anyway for being a caring and informed practioner

Great great show! Thank you both. My two favorite at one time.

I loved this presentation for the first 25 minutes or so. Then it kept getting interrupted over and over with a long ad, and each time the ad ended the presentation went back a couple minutes and replayed the same stuff over and over. Eventually I just gave up on trying to see the last half of the presentation. 😢

the headline is a total click bait don’t waste your time with this video like i did . I will report it as fake or misleading. Besides pushing products . thank you .

Insulin can be a result of high cortisol..if your cortisol is increasingly high then so is your glucose which raises insulin..

I'm lost. I was expecting a talk on how to lose fat. Insulin resistance stops weight lose and Stevia doesn't spike bloom sugar and soybean oil makes rats fat. Okay…. Now what?

Insulin resistance is years of eating high refined carb diet. It leads to many metabolic diseases.

Love this man. He is perfect about Science. It's not a religion but soo many people take it as that

Build muscle 💪..helps soak up blood sugar

Insulin resistance, your bodies inability to process sugar efficiently

How do we silence all these people who are hell bent on tracking calories please?

I think one must focus on BOTH avoiding seed oils and amount and type of carb because some people are not carbohydrate tolerant. For them just omitting seed oils and being active to counter carbs DOES NOT WORK. Figure out what your carb tolerance is and omitting seed oils is best.

The next step in the warren Buffet argument is.. Well the most important step is if you count all the money coming in and the amount of money going out, then you can accurately spend less and in so will automatically become rich. Because counting of things changes everything.

Very interesting. Dr Bikman's information continues to increase my knowledge base. Thank-you!

I just spent 7 days on keto fasting, I lost 7 lbs. But, the 8th day I did a total fast, like electrolytes in water and a cup of broth, and the next morning I gained it all back. How is this possible? What did I do wrong.

I have been on Keto for 2 years and have not used any seed oils at all or eat any processed box or bagged snacks that contain seed oils.

I'm also thinking of becoming a Nurse Health Coach student. Thanks

The car is the only place i can talk to my (adult) kids and they can't walk away 🤣

That Phd “gentleman” in Florida is no other than Layne Norton who is a bad faith actor and has been proven incorrect a number of times.

Great discussion. Could do without the ads/promotions.

I did clean keto with coconut oil + whole foods and I was still not losing weight. I'm not sure where I stand on seed oils vs high carbs is more important. Maybe I'm just metabolically very fragile :( Only zero carbs, zero seed oils work for me.

Re: Linoleic acid: From my understanding, many folks of northern European extraction (Neanderthal?) lack the gene to convert to linol enic acid. I quit flax seed oil long ago.

Prosperity would lead to us being able to eat natural, nutrient dense delicious food. However, due to many unscrupulous efforts we have a contaminated food supply…unhealthy foods are subsidized massively and healthy unprocessed food is very expensive

Dr KNOBBE would also be a good guest to talk about the evils of seed oils

Thanks for the truth and your scientific addiction to real Health Dr Bikman❤ Hi Ben from Port Alberni Canada 🎉🎉🎉🎉

So, theres a lady, wjo worked for the military and she has discovered and developed 3cpd? May have name wrong. She realised that the cell membrane was unhealthy but the 3 cpd was what was missing. She talked about what caused the lack of 3cpd in as much that it was due to we are not eating saturated fat. However, can we hypothesise therefore that it is the huge amount if seed oils we are eating AND the lack of saturated fat missing from our diet that is causong thelack of 3cpd/cell membrane poor integrity? So, no need to buy supplements, just eat properly... Maybe insulin resistance starts with bad (seed) fats?

I wish you could cover more about progesterone. I just recently went on Estradiol and progesterone and feel I have gained more fat in these areas that Dr. Bikman covered !

Thanks to Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters (1918) for pushing the calorie counting.

High fish oil omega 3 for eye health, aka dry eyes.

What I am surmising by both this discussion and personal experience in trying to reverse IR is that once the old fat cells that formed on the poor diet are utilized they will be replaced by new ones while on the meat/fat based diet and only then will IR get reversed especially with insulin being a fat based hormone. So if the original insulin cells were formed in diet lacking of healthy fat their ability to perform is also lacking and vice versa and autophagy will eventually kick in to get to true healing along with weight loss

Science is a philosophical approach to understanding things which is vulnerable to biases and manipulation.

Dr. Bikman being fascinating and so informative as always (also, the title doesn't reflect what a great conversation this was, and I suspect lots of people wouldn't click on it, if they didn't know who he was, because it sounds so sensational).

Right. do a bit of fasting and don't over eat energy (fat and carbs) when you eat your 2 meals a day. I'm doing 16/8.. it's great, I do gaps/weston a price and a tiny bit of low cal ice cream... working great

I tried to read the gist from the transcript but there were so many run-on and incomplete sentences that reading it was harder than listening to it. I haven’t had seed oils in the house in nearly 2 decades, but I got a lot of them unwittingly by eating a lot in restaurants from 2020-halfway through 2023. I started cooking again in October ‘23 and consume an animal-based low carb diet. Have lost minimal weight and no belly fat. The only thing that ever made me lose belly fat was my 4 months on semaglutide. But the side effects became literally intolerable. Of course I gained it all back. I’m experimenting with a variation on a fasting schedule suggested by Ben Azadi (Who can eat 3 meals in a 6-hr eating window? Not I.). So in my third week I’m derailed by some afternoon classes, but I’m sure that sort of disruption will be rare. My body seems to be very good at staying at the same weight no matter what I do….

Dr Bikman 👍

Beef is my staple and bacon is my dessert. My pic is my lifesaver. I reversed my T2, and lose weight daily. Next will be throwing out the bp pills.

Lotsa great info… thank you!

The title should represent the content, this does not. I came to this video to learn how to rid myself of belly fat as a post-menopaused female. I stop eating seed oils years ago (my fasting insulin was 14 in April), I stopped eating grains 3 months ago (I will repeat the fasting insulin). I fast between 12-16 hours, anymore makes me dizzy. I am going to unsubscribe to all KZfaqrs who do not hold true to their titled content.

Hey Dr Bikkman,. I love the way you communicate and stay even keeled but I do have to contest a few points you made when talking about calories . There was a time when I focused more on fat and lowered carbs . Whole food sources like avocados , nuts raw , seeds , eggs , fatty fish etc… I was gaining weight regularly because I stopped tracking calories during that time so I returned to tracking what I was eating . Turns out I was consuming 3200 per day when my maintenance calories are 2575 per day . Essentially I shifted my focus off calories and turned to good fats and I start growing . The Point is , you cant consume this much more above what you burn similar to a bank account . You save or store more than you spend and your account gets bigger . Calories in my opinion and experience are the most important factor . Bodybuilders do this for a living . They would know better than anyone . If there was some low carb hack to get them shredded when contest time comes about , they would tell you this is the most important factor . Their livelihood is dependent on this debate everyone has . At will , (depending on whether they are building or cutting weight) , they can manipulate how it’s done through calories and secondarily carbs but only because the carbs are higher in calories , so , it still boils down to calories . It’s very dangerous to tell people not to be aware of the calories they are consuming if their goal is to be lean and lose weight . The phd you guys spoke about in the beginning was correct in the sense that IF you are using the food consumed every 2 hours , you won’t gain weight . Your rebuttal was about what type of food saying that people are eating the refined sugars and starches and not eggs / sausage . I hope you guys see that the weight gain that could occur from those sugars and starches is not because of those carbs, but on a deeper level , it’s that those type of foods are much higher in calories . Again , the end result is calories not that it’s a sugar . There was a bodybuilder who won mr universe in the past who conducted an experiment and ate all trash the last few weeks before the show while others starved themselves of any carb . He continued to lose the weight and won the title on eating cakes / donuts / bread but the quantity was so small and it had to fit within the caloric range. He felt horrible and unhealthy but did it to make a point . It’s all about the calories . Any weight people lose on keto or low carb is mostly water weight because the science is that for every gram of carb you eat , it hold 3 grams of water . In the absence of carbs , your body will dump the water as you burn the remaining carbs in your body . I lost 10lbs immediately with 2-3 days on keto which equates to 35,000 calories if it were from fat . Most males eat about 2-3000 a day which translates to 6-9000 calories . Even if I ate nothing for a week (7days x2500 per day it’s 17500 calories or 4.5-5 lbs as a maximum fat loss . This tells you it’s all water as shown by how much I was urinating . It’s a deception to think it’s fat because you are dumping quick water . The maximum FAT the average person can lose a week is 4-5 lbs eating NOTHING according to math . Water is a different story and If you are extremely obese you can lose more because maintenance calories higher and yes , you guessed it , there’s more water retention in the tissues so you will lose more quicker . This makes sense because every keto advocate wants you to guzzle tons of water and dump a load of salt in it so it will be retained just like when you eat carbs . It’s much healthier to eat a little carbs of fruits vegetables and such . I do agree 100 percent that the food type matters as far as NUTRITION is concerned but not fat loss . It’s interesting how keto proponents will eat all this high saturated , dead (no enzymatic activity ) food , with no micronutrients , photochemical vitamins , minerals , and say its great because it fits the bracket of low carb yet they focus on the TYPE of food when it comes to the topic of weight loss as they demonize or fear carbs . The food certainly matters but for the main focus of nutrition . Fat loss can occur in both scenarios . Last point , im not a vegetarian or vegan . Im a happy omnivore but the leanest / most fit friends of mine are ones who eat fruits / vegetables / and their fresh juices along with nuts / seeds and their milks which have the whole amino acid profile . They have no problem with excess weight . I cant bring myself to do that because I love all foods but just saying . The way everyone treats a piece of fruit as candy in the keto community is insane . By rights , all these raw food advocates would be 600 lbs due to the evil fructose. The reason why they are lean is due to how it’s impossible to even eat excess amounts of calories eating these fresh fruits and veggies if they are the main focus . The nuts / seeds , yes but the rest of the diet is so low in calories that you are stuffed before you reach your maintenance. Sorry , it’s all about the calories . Anyway ,those are my thoughts and experiences .

Episode # 352 on apple podcast for those who can’t find it

Ketosis: 13:30

Love Ben Bikman

Love your podcast 🥇. Is this episode on apple podcast? I am not being able to find it

How do l burn belly fat fast? This title is abusive to your audience and your guest speaker.

Never mind, you did answer my question here!! You may have addressed this somewhere, but if so, I missed it. Can stevia increase insulin and activate fat gain? I'm gaining fat. Thanks!

To Keto Kamp: What brand of POE's do you take?

This never says the scientific way to burn belly fat I'm so sick of videos with clickbait titles

Huge gap in the discussion when lifestyle is not at the center. Most of the problems arise due to lifestyle. Diets, specific foods, supplements will not fix lifestyle, which is the cause. Change the lifestyle, then you can play around with foods, supplements, if needed.

How much allulose in a cup of coffee to get benefits

Speaking of seed oils, it seems like sunflower oil would be much easier to extract than the others. This suggests that people probably have been able to access it further back in history, similar to olive oil. So I wonder if there's any difference in how detrimental it is compared to the other seed oils?

It is a bit vague, but it is VALID.

Regarding omega-3s, what do you recommend for people who are allergic to fish and shellfish? Would an organic algae oil supplement be a safe and healthy choice?

I can't seem to balance my hormones. I can't stop gaining weight and my hunger is out of control once I become active from working out. I count calories just to help control my awful hunger cravings. Ive tried doing keto. I am literally unable to stay on that strict of a diet. I last about two weeks. I need help! I'm on synthetic thyroid medicine and I know my hormones are still unbalanced. I have no idea what to do. All my blood test come back normal. I just need to lose 20 pounds and I can't do it.

I think cutting carbs by 60 percent you going to keep ur blood sugar low and start burning fat in ur body.

Thank you

Ben, I enjoy your content, but must disagree with your assessment of the Keto Community eating higher amounts of bad fats. In my research of Keto I have been taught to eat lots of fatty meats as the basis of the discipline.

I asked the bot if this protein shake has aynthetic vitamins. I did not get an answer

Re stevie with dextrose. Usually still low carb.

All of this information was interesting BUT not even close to matching the click bait title. Stop playing games with people. Adios.

Ive been really enjoying Hlth code, i mixed one today with 8 oz of fairlife and refrigerated. It thicked up like a pudding...yum

Why does the US ban the continuos Ketone monitor? You can get one in UK.

Does all powdered artificial sweeteners such as allulose contain the substance within the package that triggers an insulin response? Allulose list non insulin trigger.

Alway very interesting to listen to.

That's what we need...scientific solutions to evolutionary problems...last I checked, body fat gain was an evolutionary phenomenon, not a scientific one per se...I say the answers to evolutionary problems like excessive fat lie in evolutionary solutions...

Great video, however I am confused about what to eat after watching. Fish, meat? I hear saturated fats are ok, can someone summarize? I also hear fasting is not necessary (eating more frequently) if you move a lot and don't eat processed food?

What happens with synergy of zero carb diet, prolonged fasting and medicine (metformin and SGLT2 Inhibitor) in fasted state with exercise?

Why doesn't Dr. Bikman tell people what the actual test is for insulin? Isn't it a c-peptide test? Mine is .5 and I was told I have LADA.

So true what he is saying!

Since I’m allergic to fish taking cod liver oil is not an option. What is your suggestion for getting enough omega 3 oils???

Both of these "experts" love listening to themselves. How about bullet points on how to lose belly fat fast?

4 organs that are potential starting origins of insulin resistance. i have two other mechanisms: * damaged L-cells in the gut, harmed by a destroyed gut microbiome (bad artificial sweeteners, antibiotics). that lowers GLP-1, PYY, CCK output which drives the production of glucagon ==> gluconeogenesis. * high cortisol driving gluconeogenesis possible solutions - or at least things to make it better: 4cl ACV + 3g glutamine + 400ml water first thing in the morning and in the evening. maybe a bit of vitamin C in the morning. what does it do: * the ACV (not pasteurized!) could be good for our gut microbiome * the ACV contains a few percent SCFAs which fuel the L-cells and that boosts GLP-1 production * glutamine fuels the gut and helps to repair the L-cells and increases GLP-1 production * glutamine reduces cortisol * vitamin C reduces cortisol cortisol is highest in the morning and drives gluconeogenesis. so, getting that down lowers insulin resistance. long term taking care of the gut health while cutting out processed carbs is absolutely key!! i had a huge success with keto for one and a half year but then because of an ear infection and gut infection, the doctors pumped me full of antibiotics. and after that, keto did not work anymore. ( because even on keto you can have high blood sugar when your L-cells are damaged )

WHAT IS THE HLTH CODE BAG? HOW DO I GET VIP?

If only we could account for all the calories that are being used by the cells (and what sorts of things they are doing with those calories) people would see more that food is information, not just calories, but mode enablers. Not only that, but each body has different caloric requirements (especially when you take the digestive bacteria into account ;^).

For Ally @46:50 check out type 1.5 or LADA diabetes. Your husband may have. Unfortunately with the very small exception of a few good docs most of the docs taking care of diabetics are woefully (and I feel deliberately due to their " networks") IGNORANT especially on the issues of fasting and low carb and how they actually work. Back in the day with my Dad a " brittle" diabetic (most likely LADA as my sister was 2 decades later) when in the hospital I would have to fight w the dieticians feeding him a " ADA approved diabetic" diet that would have 5- 7 different carbs at one meal, virtually no fat and a miniscule serving of protein. No wonder his sugar was out of control!!!!

So then how do uric acid crystals play into all this

I am suprised good doctors like you splt hairs about choosing to mix processed seed oils with low carbs. Just get rid of sugar And processed seed oil and be DONE with IT cheers

I didn't know high dose fish oil wasn't good 😕
