I understand todays video could be frustrating for some to hear. But my promise to my subscribers is to NOT just tell you what you WANT to hear (it’s not always what I want to hear either), but to tell you what we are finding in science to be more accurate. I’d rather you dislike some of what I have to say and get results instead of feeding you the same echo chamber nonsense for 10 years and pretending that research doesn’t change and evolve. This doesn’t mean that you need to avoid this fat entirely. In fact, the video actually states how much to have to keep it in a range that makes it easy.

this makes me think our bodies adapt seasonally to available foods in the diet, more fruit/veg/carbs in summer/spring, more fats in autumn/winter

[jfilm]

Could you please tell us simply what to eat/do and then go into the science? You have so much information that the point sometimes gets lost. Thanks

It seems that an OMAD or 2MAD periodic eating pattern would allow the gut to empty and give your body time to use most of the energy from fat. It works for me.

[bookzdotmedia]

My own experiments seem to be saying you can eat a variety of anything good if you do a daily 20 hour fast, but eating the superfoods is a must.
Eggs, liver, salmon, dark chocolate, extra virgin Olive oil, mct oil, coconut oil, benfotiamine, resveratrol, and as many beta cell foods or supplements as you can. Olive oil and no sugar creates a pain free life!

Carbs stimulate insulin. Protein stimulates insulin. Now, based on Thomas' presentation here, palmitate, a type of fat, can cause issues with insulin. Okay. So are we in the low carb community in a quandary? No. The low carb approach is still the best approach for two reasons. First, a low carb diet's emphasis on protein and fat and the removal of carbs is the most satiating dietary strategy for most people, thus allowing them to more easily to control their intake, and, because of this satiating effect, it allows us to fast for longer which offsets the effects of palmitate. Secondly, carbs are the only macronutrient among the three that is absolutely unnecessary. So if all three substances cause insulin problems, it makes sense to jettison the one that we really have no use for.

Makes sense if you think of use it or lose it. We don't have high insulin so don't need as many receptors. The body will adjust as you do. The key is to make moves slowly or more often if you want to remain move flexible.

I'm a primary care physician in the public sector who's been on the ketogenic diet and fasting since 2017.
I began with 14 hours of fasting back then and I'm now alternating between 72/48 hours, without neglecting my daily mineral cover.
This lifestyle works best only when we have decided to fix our own meals at the end of our fasting window.
This can either be good news or bad news to some folks.
But it prevents a colossal food wastage and saves a tonne of money, not only from food bills but massive saving on medical bills, which in turn prevents downtime at work.

The key is, and has always been to pair ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting.
This way, we benefit from autophagy and ketosis, that are derived from fasting and the ketogenic diet respectively.

Autophagy and ketosis are the 2 key components that promote almost all forms of wellbeing, like promoting glycolysis and gluconeogenesis on one hand and on the other hand, preventing insulin resistance, inflammation and advanced glycation end products.

The key is to identify and stick to a correct but "low maintenance" ketogenic diet that celebrates our lifestyle.
Stocking our house with all the commercial keto products and binging on them just because it's low carb does not work at all.
The keto diet is NOT a "snack-all-you-want-as long-as- it's-high fat-no carb-high protein" diet.
Fixing our own meal at the end of each fasting session is the key.
This is why we need to adapt a low maintenance quick fix meal prep regime that ticks most boxes on the ketogenic diet cheat sheet.
If we're our meals are taking a long time to fix, that's a sign of trouble.
For those who are already on the ketogenic diet, we need to do a spring clean.
It's time to check on sleep, minerals and hunger.
Sleep needs to be optimum, never less or more, minerals need to be onboard daily and only practice hunger driven meals.
If we are not hungry, that's ketosis, autophagy, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis(the good) working in full gear to prevent insulin resistance, inflammation and advanced glycation end products (the bad)
Let it work.
Pre-hunger eating stops the good and promotes the bad.
Hope this helps.

I really like your scientific approach and that you are not afraid to cite studies that contradict our current knowledge. This is quickly becoming my favorite diet channel on the internet. Most other channels stick strictly to a certain way of eating and don't cite any studies that contradict their way. Please keep this up and don't dumb-down your content.

[EmbracedByDusk]

Interested or disinterested in all of his words, DeLaur does a damn good job in explaining the science of health and wellness topics.

I love when i watch younger Thomas convincing me to switch to low carb protocol and modern Thomas explaining that fat isn't as good as it might seem, then at the end of video explaining that it's the dosage which makes poison ;)
Seriously, Thomases videos are all about maintaining balance. There's no single golden recipe for all health that one can get, rather you have to consciously compose your diet in a way that will give you a little bit of this and that to fine tune your bio machinery :)

[Highwind]

Big thank you for this video!!!! I have been diagnosed type 2 and for 5 years now have been working to get my body healthier and I have made a lot of tweaks to what I eat and this information is a valuable key I believe to getting better blood sugar, better lipids and hopefully lower blood pressure. I also do some fasting as well. Again thank you and don't listen to the nay sayers you are touching a lot of lives and making lives better!

This paper was written in the context of the standard American diet. It would be good to see more studies in the context of low carb/keto.

You can also get the monounsaturated fat oleic acid from animal products. Pork fat, i.e. lard, is 45-50% oleic acid.

[Austini]

One of the best channels for nutrition in my opinion. I like how you don’t acknowledge there’s an ultimate diet and defend the diet based on your preconceptions and bias by finding conforming evidence to the said diet. So many channels now are merely just revolving around a certain diet and ignoring any studies that results in contrary findings. Thomas simply just presents evidence while maintaining neutrality on the different diets. Very good information for someone like me who didn’t major in biology but still understand the basic components of the organ systems and cells.

I was off keto for three weeks due to vacation. I don't eat meat, and only high quality cheese, lots of olive oil. I realized the benefits of changing diet sometimes. And I didn't gain weight. I've lost 25 kg thanks to Thomas and will keep the weight for two yrs before the next phase. I was prediabetes but had normal levels after a few months of keto. But I can occassionally "cheat" now, with rice, potatoes and occassionally a dessert. My sleep has improved.

[ClintGilliam]

Everyone watching this should be careful to understand that these studies are just single data points in a huge library of information. You cannot take these single studies as the definitive word on any particular issue. I am not disputing any study or even Thomas’ explanations, but a proper response is that they are just tools in the toolbox (as Thomas has said), and not all studies can be used to really adjust or guide our behavior. Often studies are very nuanced and need to be “taken with a grain of salt”.

[mandyh]

Thank you for this information. Since starting keto my LDL has greatly increased, and my A1C only dropped 0.1% ie I am still prediabetic. This explains it. You also have a middle position between the Keto gurus and the Mastering Diabetes guys, which makes more sense than either extremes.

[johnnyboycrypto]

Would be nice to have a Walmart grocery list to just go buy the food, however I know even though I'm confused or forget this very complex information I need to try as much as possible to research and understand this stuff so I know what the science is and why I'm doing what I'm doing so my lifestyle changes for the better, I think this is why 99% of us are failing is because of education and the continual dumbing us down. Aka "Idiocracy" the struggle is very real. Cell phones for example when I was a kid I had to dial someone's number and had to remember numbers, now I only know my Wife's and my number, sometimes technology and simplifying life may not be so good for humanity long term.

[robertspinks]

I agree with this my bloods after going high saturated to low and increasing polyunsaturated fats
My LDL went from 7.8mm/ol to 4.1
and triglycerides 1.5 to 0.7
also HDL 1.1 to 1.47.
Also took fish oil over the 3 months to get better results
