I’ve been on the ketogenic diet since 2018. I lost over 85 pounds and maintained my weight.

My inflammation markers all decreased even below the normal range on ketogenic diet. I have been low carb for about 10 years.

Nick is quite a guy. He will go far and make a great Dr.

I find it odd how much experts fear a state of fasting. We are designed to withstand periods of time without or limited food. It's only in the last hundred years or so that much of the world is no longer food insecure.

My mom transcribed many of my grandfather's stories from his years in Europe. He spent many years where it wasn't clear he'd even have a single meal a day, let alone multiples meals filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables. He lived until his late 80s with no known health conditions.

In modern times, we eat too often and too much. A clean keto way of eating brings us back to a healthier level of food intake.

Why do quality researchers bother mentioning findings on mice and rats!?

The Keto diet may not be for everyone. I am not a Doctor. For a type 2 diabetic the Keto diet is a Godsend. At least for me it is. I wish I started it at a younger age.

56, and now it's been over 2 years on healthy keto and 6 months now (omad). Lost over 100 lbs. Had 54" waist now have 38" waist. I was able to come off all my prescription medications slowly but surely within that first year of eating healthy keto. I haven't felt this good in years. What a journey it's been for me. I have the energy and strength now to take care of my father (83) (dementia) and my youngest brother (50) autoimmune disorder and hip displacement (bedridden). I have to continue to be strong for them as being their caregiver.

I just want to thank you for publicizing calming responses to fear-mongering that could scare people away from healthy conduct. There is so much conflicting info out there, and so many forces seemingly motivated by deliberately sowing fear and confusion... truth stated calmly is so welcome.

This is the scientists that did the study on, oreo cookies lower your ldl.

[chargermopar]

After 40 years on it aging faster did not happen to me.

[DrkBlde]

Ridiculous. We've been apex carnivores since the beginning of Sapiens. As if that would zombify our organs. 😂

[chuckylamb]

You need to look at who is paying for any so called research!!!

[terfalicious]

I like this! Too often people just read a headline, or an abstract, and take it as if an epiphany from heaven. We need a more curious approach: YES, do your own research as far as possible - starting with who if funding the study!

[daviddrake]

Love your channel. Thanks to it and your books my low carb journey a decade ago resulted in 60 pound weight loss and much better health. I have been watching Nick’s channel recently and as you mentioned, I just ordered his Stay Curious hoodie. Thank you both.

Dr.Westman, can you please interview Dr. Thomas Seyfried please. All about living well with cancer through ketogenic diet.

[austeneddy]

That title is hilarious!!! It hooked me!

[ballen]

I've been restricting my carb intake for about 3 years now. Age 56 and feeling amazing!! Hopefully not harming myself. But it comes natural to me now. Veggies and meat mostly.

[Tom_Tabbing]

Keto is great i still eat greek yogurt and small amounts of berries and i find it so easy, never hungry and feel great, yogurt berries with peanut butter is amazing!!

[judyfreeman]

Dr. Westman you review videos from some of the most interesting people I have never heard of that I will now be following.

[markinnis]

Not going to waste my time listening to some dude spewing garbage.

Carnivore diet is king for me...
