Peter has such a great sense of humour, which really brings life to his presentations.
Absolute pleasure to listen and watch.

I've been seriously low carb high fat for just about a year. I've lost 55lbs, improved blood sugar control, I still require insulin, improved kidney function from the low 40's to mid 50's, decreased appetite, greatly improved mood. I still have a long way to go loosing weight but I can't ever see going back to my old way of eating starch and sugar.

[takeoffyourblinkers]

38 years of drinking lots of beer and wine, blood sugar is fine, floats around 3.0
But I am getting to the stage where I think I will jump ahead of the game before something pops up.
Just like I smoked for 37 years with no issues that were red flags.
Better to grab the bull by its horns before the bull grabs you.
If you get where I am.
Thanks so much LCDU for these priceless lectures/presentations.

Incredible presentation. Congrats from Brazil!

[Dynaah]

Excellent presentation, how I miss the quick Aussie wit.

[katecollins]

I really would love to see something like the sugar tspn labelling implemented instead of the Health stars.

[leahlandi]

the pharmaceutical companies want us to stay in the bad state, thankful that I know better, Keto for 4 years!

I'll give you a lecture on neuticion. Most vegetables give me arthritis and tendonitis. I have gone through hell for forty years so I mainly live on a carnivore diet and am heppy that way. I'm now sixty eight and in no pain at all.

One puzzle has not been solved by the low carb camp: how fat intake promotes fat oxidation (leading to weight loss) whereas carb leads to fat accumulation which must go thr de novo lipogenesis pathway. It's counter intuitive. Before LCHF diet can be widely accepted, this question must be addressed.

Is the offer for your book still available? I'm an R.N. working in the Heart Failure population in Texas.

Thanks Dr. Brukner ... then you know Dr. Fettke and Dr. Champ ... also on my list of fav's ... and a big fan of Tim Noakes ...
But sports medicine is critical as I had to fire my doctor ... I had to cure my own AFib ... as it turned out to be just electrolyte imbalance, and since I have made sure my K is 2x Na ... No AFib ... so sports docs should know the importance of balanced electrolytes. Fat-Adaptation needs to navigated ... and this is your bailiwick as you just can not store the carbs necessary to have endurance. Whereas with fats ... we can run 24 hours ... and set new records ...
As you know ... Atrial Fibrillation is a big killer ... and the solution is so simple ...

[chrishowson]

[DavidGeeraerts]

Same talk at LCDU 2015 with somewhat better video quality --sound is much clearer:

[carrollhoagland]

Thanks Dr. Brukner --- Yes, same thing my doctor said ... Low Carb the "Worst Thing" I could do ... Fired that doctor ... completely out of date ..
www.70GoingOn100.com the Centenarian Diet, or maybe 128, the Hayflick limit, … or if a Ray Kurzweil fan then this is a Moot Point …

[toni]

An immunologist would believe you. One believed me 25 years ago at the PA in Brisbane, thank heaven.

[TheHerbdude]

I like his ideas on labeling, but not taxing. We are being taxed into poverty already. "Sin Taxes" are wrong.
