Podcasts about hello jimmy

Questions Covered: 03:33 – What are your thoughts on determinism and free will, can they be combined? 7:20 – How does God know he's not a brain in a vat? 08:14 – My 5-year-old asked “Did Jesus' death on the cross make God the Father sad?” 12:44 – Where does the idea of “the rapture” come from? I've heard that it isn't actually biblical, but pop culture and many Protestants would claim otherwise. 19:30 – I am a later in life convert and I did not baptize my two now young adult children as infants. Is it possible to conditionally baptize them due to their other parent preventing their baptisms? The situation they are in is not typical I gave birth to them within a same sex marriage prior to conversion and then I was radically converted. The same sex marriage ended 10 years ago I am now married to a man in the Catholic Church. Neither of the children desire to attend Catechism classes and my son is 17 and my daughter is 20. I pray a Novena daily for Baptism for them to occur. It's the Saint Therese of Lisieux Novena asking for her prayers for my children. Thank you Jimmy and God bless you. 21:47 – Hello Jimmy, i am Catholic from Africa how can I help people around me who refuse to be Christian or Catholic saying it is because it is an invention to keep Africa poor calling it « the white man's religion » 28:40 – Hi Jimmy, someone had asked if there would be bacteria in Heaven and you said it's possible if God allows us to eat and Heaven is like a big banquet with the saints. So if we eat in Heaven does that mean there's death in Heaven since things would have to die for us to eat it? 36:44 – What would the Church do to celebrate the Eucharist in the event of a blight that killed all wheat on the planet? 42:41 – How should Christians understand these words of Jesus: “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Doesn’t this mean the Law of Moses still applies to Christians? 46:30 – In a previous AMA, you said in response to someone’s question that if a person were assimilated by the Borg, the state of their soul adjacent to confession would remain unchanged. If someone were assimilated, could they conceivably receive anointing of the sick? 47:55 – To what extent can a priest alter the words of the mass? For example, a priest at a chapel I go to says “This is Jesus, the Lamb of God” instead of “Behold the Lamb of God”, which I think is quite beautiful, but I am unsure if it’s correct. 49:17 – Doesn’t the act of naming someone a pope fit the definition of a sacrament? It’s 1-a rite 2-Instituted by Jesus (Matthew 16) 3-to convey grace (infallibility) 52:59 – Are orthodox bishops and old catholic bishops and sedevacantist bishops real bishops? …

In Episode 142 of Keto Talk, Jimmy and Dr. Will Cole answer your questions about Mixed Messages About Bonking On Keto, Yellow And Floating Stool, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia, Hypoglycemia When Cheating, Traumatic Brain Injury, and more! HOT TOPICS: Response to Dr. William Davis’ column “Is the ketogenic diet dangerous?” What is the ideal ketogenic modality to heal the gut microbiome after food poisoning. No antibiotics were used. Fasting can affect pathogenesis of autoimmune disease but also how to address some of the challenges that patients with autoimmune disease might face if they try fasting, e.g concurrent use of prednisone. What role does keto play in recovering from vaccine injuries? How do I have the proper knowledge about the relevant heart health information with my cardiologist? Why do I get nauseated by eating more fats in my ketogenic diet? “If you see a number like 29,000 people over 17 years, this is not a randomized, controlled study. That's your clue that this is not good science.” – Jimmy Moore “You cannot extrapolate from studies of epileptic children that have other health problems and then apply that to the average human being.” – Dr. Will Cole HEALTH HEADLINES: Trendy low-carb diets are fuelling a rise in bloating, diarrhoea and constipation among millennials because they are so low in fibre Three or more eggs a week increase your risk of heart disease and early death, study says Why Americans are on track to eat the most eggs in nearly a half-century What you need to know about the keto diet What’s the Skinny on the Keto Diet? STUDY: Low-Carb Diets Like Keto May Increase the Risk of AFib Jimmy and Will answer your questions: – Why did I seemingly “bonk” when engaging in demanding skiing conditions while on a ketogenic diet? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I really enjoy your podcast and appreciate your diligent work. My question is about sports performance. I've been doing a lower carb diet for 8 months now, always under 150g carbs and mostly under 100g. For the past 6 weeks, I've been strictly following a keto diet with net carbs under 30, many days around 20g. I'm also limiting my calories and doing intermittent fasting with calories coming in between 1200-1500. Once or twice a week I cycle up to about 2000 calories. I just returned home from a snowboard trip where I experienced a scary problem and I'd like to learn more about the physiology of what may have happened. The first two days were challenging conditions with a lot of powder. This takes more effort so I'd consider it somewhat demanding exercise, but still aerobic. This was my first trip since going strictly keto and I was still adhering to the diet strictly. On the third day after a breakfast of Canadian bacon and eggs, we got up and headed up the mountain. On my first short run of the day, the trouble began. My legs literally would not work and I had trouble getting up on my board after falling. This happened a few times and I started to worry I may be having a panic attack even though this is not something I've ever experienced on the slopes. I was definitely a little worried about what I was experiencing but I just chalked it up to nerves, calmed myself, and eventually made it down. I assumed resting on the lift would be all I needed. I got up to the top and the same thing happened although initially I was fine for a few minutes. It was a real challenge to both my legs and my brain and then I started having the same symptoms again about halfway down. These were steep, challenging runs and I began to worry I had just finally freaked myself out to the limit. Then it occurred to me that I may be "bonking"...I've run one marathon and experienced something like that, however, this was very different. I seriously couldn't get my legs to work, as in laying on my back trying to flip over and couldn't even pull my knees up to my chest. I ended up making it down safely, albeit so ungracefully and very slowly and decided I should probably eat some quick absorbing carbs if I wanted to continue. I slowly ate half of a very large chocolate chip cookie, monitoring how I felt. Incidentally, this didn't even taste good to me and didn't create any cravings in the days after. After a rest, I went back out and was totally back to "normal." I know I'm relatively fat-adapted at this point since I can fast 18 hours easily. However, I've also read it can take months for metabolic processes to fully adapt. I'm guessing what happened is that the demands of the activity outpaced my body's ability to access fat, and being keto, I had fully depleted my glycogen stores. Is that what happened to me? That's pretty simplistic, but I'd love to hear a more detailed scientific explanation of what may have happened. Thanks again for producing a great show! Cheryl – What’s going on with yellow and floating stool when you are eating keto? Hi Jimmy and Will, I’m one month and two days in to my new lifestyle, but I still have diarrhea and it’s always yellow.  Is this normal?  Thank you! AND Hey Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I keep a very strict keto diet eating two times a day, so I have a regular bowel movement every other day. But my stool mostly floats. Is this a problem? I consume quality fats and protein with very few carbs in the form of green vegetables. Thanks for your help! James – Does having low platelets and possibly Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia have a connection to eating a ketogenic diet? Hello you guys, It looks like my wife is having low platelets and a possible diagnosis of ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia) and we are working with doctors to find out. We started keto in May 2018 and now consume a meat heavy low-carb, high-fat diet. Is there anything in our keto diet that could cause this or help in the healing process? Would adding in more bone marrow to the diet help? Thank you, Shawn – How do you prevent bouts of hypoglycemia from happening when you go off plan and consume carbs (other than staying in a state of ketosis)? Jimmy and Will, I have been on keto since August and have lost about 50 pounds. I have been testing blood ketones and I am usually at 1.0 mmol+. Over the holidays I had three times when I went out of ketosis and each time I had a bad reaction. About 2-4 hours after consuming carbohydrates, I would have what I think is a hypoglycemic reaction with terrible nausea, diarrhea, sweating, and shaking. I was unable to test my blood to see what my glucose reading was because I felt so bad. After a few hours of resting I would start feeling normal again and eating carbohydrates after that was fine. But each of the three times I was getting out of ketosis I had this reaction. Any thoughts on why this is happening or ways to prevent it (besides the obvious of just staying in ketosis)?  One more bit of info, the third time it happened I was trying to prevent it and instead of eating a big meal I kept snacking to try and keep my blood sugar up and that didn't work. Thanks for all your help and I hope to hear your response. Ryan KETO TALK MAILBOX: – What are the mechanisms behind why a ketogenic diet and periods of fasting help with traumatic brain injury? Hello Jimmy and Will, Thank you for your work. It is a pleasure to listen to Keto Talk. I have an observation about high-fat/low-carb that you and other listeners may find interesting. I sustained a very bad sports concussion in 2011 and this injury knocked me out (literally!) of school, all physical activity, and nearly all social interaction for upwards of six months. Most of my symptoms subsided within a year, but I had several longer-lasting cognitive effects, including math and language impairment, lack of focus, and increased irritability. One of the more prominent personality changes I noticed after the concussion was the sudden development of OCD, especially compulsion, and heightened anxiety and paranoia. In the years since, I have learned to live with this and work around my "new self." I have even been to counseling, which was somewhat helpful. When I first became concussed, my medical team recommended I take omega-3 fats in the form of flaxseed oil supplements, as well as an anti-seizure medication. This past summer, I adopted a Paleo diet which quickly transitioned to Paleo ketogenic and I recently began implementing periods of fasting. I am doing all of this for health/longevity/vanity benefits, unrelated to my concussion. Since introducing fasting to my ketogenic diet, I am becoming my "old self" again. I have experienced all the benefits of ketosis and fasting—mental clarity, emotional stability, physical changes, physical performance PR’s, and more. But I never expected that the effects of my concussion would be reversed. They are not gone completely, but every fasting cycle I see huge improvements. After doing a quick search of Dr. Google and looking on PubMed, I found out that this is a thing. People are using ketosis and fasting to heal traumatic brain injury. And it makes perfect sense- the neuroprotective aspects of fasting and a ketogenic diet should theoretically also help heal. Can you talk more about the mechanism of this on your podcast? My concussion was relatively minor, but there are people with CTE and servicemen coming back from overseas with PTSD and very serious traumatic brain injuries. This could be life-changing for so many people. Again, thank you for what you do! You are so gracious on your show, and I so appreciate your continued dedication. Katherine ITUNES REVIEWS

In Episode 141 of Keto Talk, Jimmy and special guest cohost Dr. Jay Wiles from DrJayWiles.com  answer your questions about Mixed Messages About Keto, Hypopituitarism, Convincing Skeptics Saturated Fat Is Healthy, Insulin Pump And Ketosis, Type 1 Diabetic Weight Gain On Keto, and more! HOT TOPICS: Dr. Wiles shares about the intricate role that a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet can play on overall brain health, cognitive performance, and overall psychological well-being. Can a ketogenic diet help with ocular migraines? Does eating keto improve the headaches that are associated with a brain colloid cyst? Why does eating keto and fasting have such a calming effect on your mood and mental health? Is there a period of keto-adaptation necessary to see an improvement in an EEG for persistent sleepiness? Will a ketogenic diet be dangerous for someone with chronic anxiety and a general eating disorder? “Nobody ever asks if the SAD diet that people have eaten for years is the cause of diabetes, but they jump at the chance to blame keto.” – Jimmy Moore “With a ketogenic diet we can significantly reduce the occurrence and severity of migraines.” – Dr. Jay Wiles HEALTH HEADLINES: – Low-Carb Diets Linked to Higher Odds for A-Fib – NIH Study Probes Impact of Heavy Screen Time on Young Brain – Diet for Alzheimer's: Waikato trial to pit ketogenic and healthy diets against the disorder – STUDY: New study links Alzheimer's disease with liver function and diet Jimmy and Jay answer your questions: – What can I do to prevent the sore, dry eyes that came on when I switched over to keto to help with chronic daily headaches? Hi Jimmy and Jay, I went into ketosis for a few months before Christmas with the hope that it might help me with chronic daily headaches I have had for many years. It really helped and I'm hoping it can be the cure I’ve been seeking for so long. However, there were a some side effects which I wonder if you could help with like sore, dry eyes which feels like I’ve drank too much alcohol. What’s going on with this? Liver issues? Dehydration? Lack of sleep? When I switched back over to a “normal” diet during Christmas, my eyes got a lot better. Since the beginning of the year I’ve cut my carbs again (but not fully keto) and the eye pain is back again. I’ve tried supplementing daily with magnesium, potassium, fish oil, a multivitamin, 5-HTP, a probiotic, and butterbur (which is supposed to be good for headaches). I also put pink Himalayan sea salt in my water and drink 3 liters of water daily. Any help you can give for this issue would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work! Sean – Will keto help normalize my DHEA-S levels as my blood sugar and insulin levels come down into the healthy range from eating keto? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Wiles, I’m a female in my early 40s with elevated DHEA-S coming in at 509. My endocrinologist did additional testing to rule out congenital adrenal hyperplasia and nothing came up. I also have elevated postprandial blood sugar due to metabolic syndrome which also comes with extra weight around my midsection. My question for you guys is this—could my glucose/insulin issues be the reason why my DHEA-S has increased? Or is it vice versa? And will keto help bring this level into normality? I’ve been doing keto for several months and have lost almost all the extra weight around my middle, but I’d love to know more about this DHEA thing. Thanks for your help, Lisa – Can a low-carb ketogenic diet help bring about healing for the symptoms of someone who has experienced strokes in the past? Hi Jimmy and Jay, I love Keto Talk and find it so helpful! I have been looking for information on stroke and keto but have not find anything yet. My boyfriend had a couple of strokes many years ago and now suffers from brain fog, chronic pain, and other quality of life issues. I have been eating keto for a couple of months and have seen so many great benefits. I can't help but think my boyfriend would benefit from doing it as well. Is this wise? Thank you for answering my question, Chiara – Is my elevated prolactin levels a result of my low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet? Hey Jimmy and Dr. Wiles, Thank you for playing such a strong part in my journey to better health. In January 2014, I weighed in at 285 pounds and lost 50 pounds with juicing. After slowly gaining back all the weight after getting frustrated with doing that, I then got diagnosed as prediabetic in June 2016 and it terrified me since my older brother has Type 2 diabetes. Fortunately I found the work of Tim Ferriss which led to me the cyclical ketogenic diet and then into full-time keto which helped me lose over 100 pounds. So far so good, right? I recently went to the doctor and got some bad news about my prolactin levels indicative of the health of my pituitary gland. Normal range is 2.1-17.7, but mine came in at 63.9! Is this increase in prolactin a result of eating keto or is it something completely unrelated to my diet? My doctor is going to run an MRI to see if he can find out more about it. Is this normal for ketosis? Thank you in advance, Sean KETO TALK MAILBOX: – Is developing vertigo a common problem with switching over to a ketogenic diet? What is added or subtracted from the diet that would cause this? Hi Jimmy and Jay, After doing keto for a little while now, I’ve just experienced vertigo for the very first time. Is this a common side effect of keto? Does it mean I’m getting too much or too little of something in my diet now that would cause this? I’d appreciate your help in understanding this. Jodi

In Episode 140 of Keto Talk, Jimmy and Dr. Will Cole answer your questions about Mixed Messages About Keto, Hypopituitarism, Convincing Skeptics Saturated Fat Is Healthy, Insulin Pump And Ketosis, Type 1 Diabetic Weight Gain On Keto, and more! HOT TOPICS: Will’s Functional Medicine perspective on Jimmy Moore’s upcoming 6-month sabbatical (what to expect, the mental challenge, health changes that should happen, and acclimating to the work load again when he returns) Is cutting back on fat the first change to make when weight loss isn’t happening on keto? What are the effects of long-term ketosis on female reproductive hormones, specifically estrogen production? Since the liver needs glucose to convert T4 to T3, does this mean keto leads women especially to develop hypothyroid unless they eat some whole food carbohydrates? How can I deal with the continued hormonal headaches that are reduced but not completely eliminated with keto? Is it true that there may be some health concerns associated with consuming cooked fats (i.e. makes them more carcinogenic). “As a rule I don't use avocado or olive oil for cooking because butter, coconut oil, lard, and all these stable saturated fats do such a great job for cooking.” – Jimmy Moore “I think being proactive and addressing health issues before they become serious is a brave move and one that is a counter cultural idea.” – Dr. Will Cole HEALTH HEADLINES: Vegetarian Keto Diet: Yes, Even Plant Eaters Can Thrive With Fewer Carbs & More Fat Diabetes Management: Here's What Makes Apple An Ideal Fruit For Diabetics The keto diet and cancer: Why some doctors believe ketosis ‘starves’ tumors Your Avocado Toast Is Getting More Expensive.

Jimmy and Will answer your questions: – Are concerns over lack of nutrients and acidity in the body on keto valid? How can you cut through the confusing mixed messages on keto? Hello guys, I am incredibly frustrated with my keto experience so far and hoping you can help. I am a 5'3" female and weigh 155 pounds. I started this journey to help me with brain fog, afternoon slumps, and energy level issues and I finally started to feel better after a really rough two months trying to get keto-adapted. While I have gotten better now, it seems to be a bumpy ride so far.  As a runner I’m seeing a negative impact on my endurance, my menstrual cycles have become very intense, and I’ve experience zero weight loss (although that’s not a goal, it would be nice to see). I’ve been doing a ton of research and listening to podcasts trying to figure out if I’m doing something wrong and perhaps seeing if getting the benefits of keto is any different for women as compared with men. I hear things about keto causing acidity in the body which is the precursor to the development of disease and it kinda freaks me out. My diet is very rigid most of the time eating mostly organic foods,  very little red meat, and focused on fish, chicken, turkey, and more vegetables thanks to reading Ketotarian and Dr. Anna Cabeca’s new book. I’m ready to give up on my keto plan because of the lack of nutrients and acidity concerns. There seems to be so many mixed messages about keto that I don’t know what to believe and how to do it the right way for me. My desire is to be healthy, not skinny. Can you help me out? Thank you for answering my question, Dana – Why would ketones not show up in blood testing from two years of eating very low-carb? Does it have to do with hypopituitarism and will keto perhaps help with this? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I’m a huge fan of Keto Talk and I learn something new every time I listen! I have been eating real food keto staying under 20g of carbs daily for the past two years but have never registered more than .02 on my blood ketone meter. Is this normal for someone who has hypopituitarism? Can eating low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic help with this? Thanks again for all you do, Danielle – How do you convince friends who think saturated fat and cholesterol are leading to heart disease on keto? Are there third party resources that can explain all of this? Hey Jimmy and Will, Saturated fat and cholesterol are the primary concerns that my vegan and vegetarian (and even my SAD dieter) friends point to when it comes to the keto diet. Even when I point out that plant-based food sources such as coconut and olive oil both have more saturated fat than most animal-based foods, they argue that this way of eating will raise cholesterol and saturated fat levels in the blood which will inevitably lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease. I’ve asked them to read your book Cholesterol Clarity, Jimmy, but my very intelligent and mostly skeptical friends want resources from “unbiased” sources since you are a prominent figure in the keto space. I really need some third party resources to share with them about the healthy role of saturated fat, cholesterol, and why a ketogenic diet is a positive thing for the body. I’m shared about Nina Teicholz’s book The Big Fat Surprise as well as the Joe Rogan podcast debate between vegan Dr. Joel Kahn and Paleo diet practitioner Chris Kresser. Do you have other suggestions? Thanks for your help! Jodi – Does being a Type 1 diabetic using an insulin pump make it that much more difficult to get into a state of nutritional ketosis? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I am a Type 1 diabetic since before I was 2 years old and I’m on an insulin pump as well as dealing with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroid, and celiac. I eat low-carb keto and my blood sugars stay in tight control. My thyroid levels are very good thanks to the Nature-throid medication I use. But here’s my problem—I can never get into a state of nutritional ketosis. Is it because I’m on an insulin pump and there is a constant flow of basal insulin being injected into my body? Over the years, I know I've become insulin resistant and have gained weight especially in my midsection. I'm 47 years old and ever tried working with a personal trainer for two years…but all I did was gain more weight in my belly. Why is my body holding onto fat and not burning it when I’m eating keto? Thank you for helping me with this puzzle, Harmeet KETO TALK MAILBOX: – Why would a Type 1 diabetic getting good ketone levels struggling with weight loss unless calories are significantly reduced? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I'm 54 years old, 5’2”, and 143 pounds, and needing to lose just a few more pounds. I currently have 25% body fat and lift weights regularly. I've been a lot like you, Jimmy, trying all different kinds of diets and reducing calories—but nothing seemingly works! I know I got too hypocaloric at one point and increased my calories again. I’m a Type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and don’t need very much insulin because I keep carbs below 20g, 70-80g protein, and fats from eggs, avocados, butter, cheese, and fatty meats. My blood ketones are in the healthy range of 0.7-1.9. As much as I believe in keto, I can’t deal with gaining weight. The only time I’ve seen the scale move is when I’ve cut calories to 1100 a day. But I know that’s not a healthy level for me to be consuming long-term. Why is this so hard for me? It feels like all of the low-calorie, low-fat diets I’ve always suffered with. I really thought keto was different from those. Please help me figure this out. Sherri ITUNES REVIEWS:

In Episode 139 of Keto Talk, Jimmy and special guest co-host Dr. Gus Vickery answer your questions about Loose Stools From Higher Fat, Diabetic Neuropathy, Antibiotics While Fasting, San Filippo Syndrome, Regular Exercise On Keto and more! We begin today's show with special guest co-host Dr. Gus Vickery from DrGusVickery.com talking about Dr. Vickery's basic philosophy on nutrition and health, and his unique seasonal use of fasting and ketosis with patients as a way of honoring ancestral design. HOT TOPICS: 1. There’s a weight loss medication called CONTRAVE I’d like to use to help control carb cravings while I am adapting to keto. Is this a good idea? 2. When I try to stop taking the prescription version of Prilosec that I’ve taken for 15 years after starting keto, my heartburn is as bad as ever. Will keto help heal this? 3. What is the best way to eat a healthy ketogenic diet on a tight budget? “There are times that we blow by satiety because the keto foods we eat taste so good, but if you listen carefully to your satiety signals you can get that dialed in.” – Jimmy Moore “It's not normal for children to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and the number one cause is the change in our eating patterns.” – Dr. Gus Vickery HEALTH HEADLINES: Why Some Experts Don’t Recommend the Keto Diet ‘Keto Crotch’ Might Be A Surprising Side Effect Of A Low-Carb Diet New Biosensor Accurately Measures Glucose in Saliva A taste for fat may have made us human STUDY: Climate-friendly labriculture depends on an energy revolution Jimmy and Will answer your questions: - What’s the solution to dealing with loose stools stemming from eating more calories and fat-based keto foods that normal? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Vickery, I’m a big fan of Keto Talk and I’ve listened to every episode since day one. I’ve been eating keto for the past four years and love this lifestyle. I’ve been constantly tweaking and refining what I’m doing to dial in the amount of food and macronutrient ratios that help me feel the best. So far so good. But I will admit there are times on occasion that I overindulge in the amount of keto foods that I consume that puts more calories and especially fat into my body than my body would typically require. I can always tell when I’ve done this because I have very loose stools. I’ve listened to your show enough to know that is likely a result of eating more fat than I need or some gut health component. The obvious solution is to stop doing that, but I’m wondering if there is anything I can do before, during, or after those times I have a bit more than normal to mitigate these side effects in my bowels. Thanks so much for your answer and keep up the great work! Brian in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada – Does diabetic neuropathy ever get fully healed once blood sugar becomes stabilized from eating a ketogenic diet? Hi Jimmy and Gus, I have type 2 diabetes as a 51-year old male, 6’3”, 255 pounds (down from 326 pounds since starting keto seven months ago. My A1C has dropped from 7.8 to 5.2 and I came off all my diabetes medications four months ago. The only remaining physical effect I’m dealing with from my pre-keto days is a a slight neuropathy in my feet. Will this ever improve completely or is the nerve damage just too severe for even keto to help heal? Thanks for all you help on this journey because your show has been a real inspiration. Paul – Does taking an antibiotic cause the body to respond adversely during extended fasting? Hey Jimmy and Dr. Vickery, Thank you for being a sounding board for all things keto and fasting! It has truly inspired me in my own journey. I have been eating keto since the beginning of the new year and I’ve noticed this way of eating makes fasting for upwards of 24 hours very easy to do. I tried my first 72-hour fast this week to see how I’d do and the first 24 hours was a cinch. Day two was a challenge, but I already knew that from hearing Jimmy talk about this so much. I was anticipating the “euphoria” of day three, but at hour 58 I woke up feeling absolutely horrible. I took some salt, drank coffee, pounded water, and did my best just to walk on the treadmill for a mile that day. After the workout I felt so bad that I knew it was time to end the fast because hunger pangs and food cravings at that point were just too much to bear. I feel like I did everything right and saw blood ketones in the 2.0-3.5 range and blood sugar in the sixties feeling great. There is one monkey wrench in this story I haven’t shared yet, but on the night of day two of this 72-hour fast, I had to take an antibiotic. Is it possible that is the culprit in my hunger and symptoms that forced me to quit the fast? Is there a way to safely and effectively get the benefits of fasting if you are taking an antibiotic? Thanks for all of your guidance and support for the keto and fasting community! Stephanie – Would a ketogenic diet with periods of intermittent fasting perhaps help children who are afflicted with San Filippo Syndrome? Hey guys, I saw a story on the news last night about kids who get Alzheimer's-like symptoms and, dementia at the age of two and then go downhill fast living as long as five years. When I looked up this condition called San Fillipo Syndrome, it seems these kids have trouble breaking down sugar and clearing cellular trash. Do you know if this condition is being researched for the impact a ketogenic diet could play on it? Like epilepsy, perhaps a simple diet change and maybe some intermittent fasting may be all that's needed here. What role would the diet of the mother during pregnancy play in preventing a condition like San Fillipo Syndrome from developing? Thanks for your thoughts on this. This Old Housewife KETO TALK MAILBOX: – What impact does engaging in regular exercise while eating keto have on cholesterol and general health? Hello Jimmy and Gus, I listen to Keto Talk frequently when I am working out at the gym. My story is quite unique as I once weighed in at 799 pounds at the age of 16. With lots of prayer and commitment to my own health, I was able to lose around 600 of those pounds. Today, I am a very active person and have been eating low-carb for the past nine years. In late 2018, I decided to shift my nutritional intake over to the ketogenic diet. I love to move and do an hour plus of cardio six days a week as well as strength training for 20 minutes 3-4 times per week. I have a standing desk at work, and I attempt to move as much as I can throughout the day - sometimes even doubling up on the cardio sessions! My question for you guys is this: What impact does all this exercise that I do have on my cholesterol levels while eating a ketogenic diet? How well does engaging in regular exercise like I do pair with keto? Do you recommend that people eating low-carb, high-fat engage in some form of cardio to ensure proper heart health and weight management? Thanks for your help with my questions.

In Episode 136 of Keto Talk, Jimmy and Dr. Will Cole answer your questions about ‘Dead Foods’ Thinking With Cooked Meat, Gut pH, Melasma And Sjögren’s Syndrome, Triglyceride Spike On Keto, Stage 3 Kidney Disease, Constipation and more! HOT TOPICS: World Cancer Research Fund recommendations on a healthy cancer preventing diet and their philosophy on eating red meat Can you eat keto without having very much saturated fat because of an APOE4 genotype? Are there special considerations with keto for people who have had their thyroid completely removed? Why would Vitamin A levels skyrocket on keto and can there be a toxic elevation of it to be concerned about? What’s the mechanism that would cause weight gain when people start eating low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat? Why do nutritionists think a ketogenic diet will crash your adrenals and what could be done to prevent this? “People that go keto need to be aware that their medicines might need to be adjusted.” – Jimmy Moore “We know the brain benefits of the ketogenic diet. I would advocate people that are at risk of Alzheimer's disease to eat a whole food keto diet.” – Dr. Will Cole HEALTH HEADLINES: What are the long-term effects of a ketogenic diet? Not all carbs are bad: Study shows high-carb diets can promote healthy brain aging Skinny genes the 'secret to staying slim' Trans Fats: Going, Going…Gone : COMMENTS ON THIS ARTICLE FROM LISTENER KATE:Everything was great until I got to the last paragraph:"While most vegetable oils are good substitutes [for transfats], tropical oils such as palm and coconut oil are high in saturated fat, and their effects on the heart are still unclear. There are also environmental concerns with palm oil: Increased demand has led to large-scale deforestation and animal habitat destruction in Indonesia and Malaysia as land is cleared for new palm plantations. All of this is just more reason to eat whole unprocessed foods, which are naturally free of artificial trans fats.”Seriously, are we now supposed to make food determinations based on “unclear effects” on the heart? and whether is harms the environment? Well then, I believe everything in the grocery store should be examined for these two things. Nothing would be left except products from local farms. And since when are vegetable oils considered "whole unprocessed foods”?I thought Berkeley Wellness was a pretty trustworthy publication - but this just shows me they are like any other tabloid magazine. Getting yeast to make artificial sweets STUDY: Diabetes type 2 warning - the one weight loss diet plan that could cause high blood sugar Jimmy and Will answer your questions: – How can a former raw vegan feel more confident about eating cooked meats when the mentality is these are dead foods compared with vegetables being life-promoting? Hey guys! I love this podcast and I’ve been keto for more than two years. One thing I still struggle with is feeling like I don't get enough veggies in my diet. I used to be mostly raw vegan and still think of plants as living foods that provide living properties like antioxidants that heal the body. Sometimes I feel torn between wanting to make veggie juices or green smoothies instead of cooked meats and other animal-based keto foods because I always thought of them as dead foods. The ironic thing is I know I feel best in ketosis with more energy, stable mood, and no joint pain. Should I be concerned about having these thoughts? Is it really okay to be consuming cooked meats and smaller amounts of non-starchy vegetables? I guess I’m looking for confirmation that this is enough nutrition to build healthy cells. Please help ease my mind. Angie – What is necessary for properly balancing the gut pH levels when you eat keto? Hi Jimmy and Will, I have read your books and am fully dedicated to the keto lifestyle. I was wondering if you guys could share your thoughts on how to stay properly balanced with your gut pH (alkaline vs. acid) while pursuing ketosis. It’s seems adding in a small amount of grains along with the non-starchy vegetables you consume on keto would be enough to balance this. Does this make sense or do you have another perspective on this that I’m not yet understanding. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Kim – Will autoimmune issues like melasma and Sjögren’s syndrome ever fully heal with a ketogenic nutritional approach? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I’m a 40-year old female who has been battling autoimmune disease (Sjögren’s syndrome) for more than 10 years and I’ve made great strides. I started to get melasma when I was 30 years old and I’m convinced that this is from my hormones going haywire. I am no longer taking plaquenil for pain and inflammation since going keto three months ago and I haven’t felt this good in years. But I really hate the melasma and want to see my body fully heal from this and my autoimmune disease. Will this eventually start showing signs of healing if I stay in nutritional ketosis? Anything else I can do along with keto to spur this on? Dalaina – Why would triglycerides spike early on eating keto? Will keto help stage 3 kidney disease? Hi Jimmy and Will, I started keto three weeks ago and recently had some blood work done that shocked me. I had a huge spike in triglycerides—up to 700! I have had traditionally high triglycerides 150-200 for years. I’ve increased my fat intake and consumed very low carbs (< 30 grams), yet it scared me to see this large jump in triglycerides. It is noteworthy that I am recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and have stage 3 kidney disease. I also recently stopped my statin and beta blocker medications. So my questions for you guys is this: 1. Why did I see a spike in my triglycerides to 700 just three weeks into the diet ? 2. Is a ketogenic diet suitable for someone with stage 3 kidney disease? I have listened to nearly all of your Keto Talk episodes going back to the very beginning. It’s always found this podcast so interesting and I love the great answers and information. Ed KETO TALK MAILBOX: – Why is constipation a problem early on when I switched over from a Paleo diet to keto? Hi Jimmy and Will, I came to keto a couple of days ago from a Paleo diet and I used to have a very active bowel system, especially in the morning. I’ve never experienced constipation in my life, but I’ve gotten it eating keto and it’s showing up as a bloated belly. I’m struggling keeps my carbs low and protein moderated while all these fats on keto have made me nauseous and I’m hungry. What am I doing wrong? I drink a LOT of water, including bone broth and magnesium at night. I’m also eating spinach, chia seeds, and castor oil to try to get things moving. Do I need psyllium husks or digestive enzymes?

In Episode 135 of Keto Talk, Jimmy and Dr. Will Cole answer your questions about Age Considerations With Keto, Unexpected Weight Gain, Long QT, Intense Nausea, And Retaining Breast Enhancement Fat While Keto and more! HOT TOPICS: With the popularity of keto at an all-time high, it seems strange that the food companies keep pumping out new incarnations of crappy carbage How can you get a Freestyle Libre flash blood glucose monitor prescribed by a physician without being diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic? Can going keto be a part of the healing process from Grave’s Disease? What role does keto specifically play in helping to “blow out the SIBO” as Will as described it on a previous episode?

Hi Jimmy and Will, Several months ago my elder sisters (71 and 72 years old) started keto after seeing how well it worked for me (I'm quite a bit younger at 57). They're well on their way to their weight loss goals but they've recently noticed there might be some age-related and gender-related considerations for women who are 70+ years of age. Would you guys talk about some of these things they should be thinking about? Thank you! Carolyn – What can be done about unexpected weight gain while in nutritional ketosis? Are my hypothyroid and pain medications making things more challenging for me? Dear Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I listen regularly to Keto Talk and I'm grateful for all of your valuable information. I’m 5’6” tall and weigh 179 pounds as a 61 years old woman and have been keto for a couple of years. I started eating this way when my family doctor suggested I may be pre-diabetic with a fasting blood glucose of 101. My blood ketones remain in the 1.5-2.0 range, so I know I’m burning fat. Initially I lose 55 pounds, but for some strange reason I gained back 10 pounds. Although I have a function medicine medical doctor, she’s no fan of me trying longer fasts because of my hypothyroid issues which I take Armour thyroid for. I’ve tried changing things up in the way I’m doing keto, including a protein sparing modified fast with significantly less fat than I typically eat and carnivore. These did help me lose some weight, but both gave me problems and the weight I lost came right back on with my regular keto diet. I am currently preparing for a women's mini-triathlon (1.5 mile kayak, 11-mile bike, and 3.1 mile walk or run) which takes place in February. I did this last year in a fasted state and did great! I feel like that's not going to be the case this time around. I'd like to at least remain keto but I’m thinking being mostly carnivore is where I feel my best. I will add that my doctor prescribed me Gabapentin 100mg for me to take at night to help with pain that interferes with my sleep. Do I need to add in additional carbs to what I’m doing to help with these issues or should I be concerned? Thanks, Colleen – Are there any specific alterations to keto for people dealign with the condition known as Long QT? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I am a huge fan of your podcast and listened to all of them in double time so I could digest all the information faster (I especially liked the Poopcast and now I refer to Will as Dr. Pooptacular!). In the earlier episodes I was listening to, Dr. Nally mentioned that Long QT is a reason to be monitored by your doctor when starting keto. This piqued my interest since I deal with this condition. I have an implanted heart monitor that checks for abnormal rhythms 24/7, so I’m assuming that would catch any issues. Are there any specific precautions I should be taking with long QT and keto (mine is the incredibly rare genetic variant, Long QT type 10, which has to do with a sodium channel pathway and is most similar to Type 3 of the more commonly known types). Signed, your healthiest chronically ill Ketonian, Jess – How can someone overcome intense nausea while on a ketogenic diet? Hi Jimmy and Will, I am a naturopath in Australia and I have been keto for a few months. I had a fairly easy adaptation but my partner is now having a lot of nausea. He started a couple of weeks ago and got into ketosis in about 48 hours with blood ketones around 1.2. He was doing so well until I made the mistake of giving him some cake I had made with almond and coconut flour. He almost immediately started feeling sluggish and experienced mental fatigue and fogginess as his blood ketones crash to under 0.5. He was able to get back into ketosis again, but the nausea and other side effects have been relentless ever since. We’ve been adding in more salt to try to help, but nothing is helping so far. I feel like I broke the momentum he had on his keto and would love any suggestions about how to help him get back on track again. He came to keto from a mostly fruit-based diet for a year prior to this. I feel my partner has so much to gain from eating this way coming from a history of chronic fatigue! Thanks for your help, Jodi KETO TALK MAILBOX –  Are there concerns with the inability to retain transferred breast enhancement fat for someone who is eating a ketogenic diet? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I am looking to have liposuction to transfer the fat to my breasts for a natural breast enhancement after going through breastfeeding and experiencing a nice weight loss thanks to keto. Will ketosis compromise my body’s ability to retain the fat that is transferred as it needs to establish a new blood supply to be able to live in the new location. I am currently at my goal weight and am no longer losing weight. My initial thought is that since ketosis is a healthy state for the body to be in, it should not be a problem. But what say you?  

Alex is back in the country which means Alex and Mike are both back with another episode of The Atlantic Files! While away, Jimmy Butler came to Philadelphia, Caris LeVert suffered an ugly injury, and the Atlantic Division continued to look like the best division in the East. Jimmy Butler was shipped out of Minnesota for Dario Saric and Robert Covington among some other pieces. Alex was sad to see those two go but is more than excited to see the big three of Butler, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons. Mike and Alex both agree that this finally gives Philly someone to perform in the clutch. Caris LeVert suffered a very ugly injury that, unfortunately, put a halt to such a great season that he was putting together. The good news is that the damage to his ankle wasn't as serious as everyone thought. We may see him later this season, and finally, Mike can breathe. Finally, the guys do a quick run through of the rest of the division and touch on other news around the league such as the Kevin Durant and Draymond Green beef.

Jimmy and Will, I am a registered dietitian who is an advocate for the keto diet since starting it for myself nine months ago. I am working diligently on influencing others in my profession about the health benefits of nutritional ketosis. Keto Talk has helped me stay on top of what is happening in the world of keto so I can be armed with the knowledge to pass along to my RD colleagues. Recently I had braces put into my mouth in preparation for jaw surgery coming in the Fall. This will include my mouth being banded together for a few weeks after surgery which would thus limit the types of foods I could eat or drink. Do you have any input about what my recovery will be like being in a state of ketosis vs. if I wasn’t ketogenic? I would assume inflammation would be lower on keto, but is there any research showing how much quicker healing will take place? My wife does not eat keto and has hinted several times that she wants me to just eat whatever post-surgery so I keep my energy up and have an enjoyable experience. I’m not wanting to lose any more weight in this, but the faster recovery would be a bonus. Thanks for the help, Casey -- STUDY: How to Time Your Meals to Control Blood Sugar -- Direct link to study 1. Is it possible to heal my Type 2 diabetes through a ketogenic diet and lifestyle change alone without going back on medications again? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I am a 38-year old male with Type 2 diabetes. I am 6'3" and currently weigh 307 pounds. I started keto at the beginning of the year and have lost 25 pounds so far. I stopped taking all my diabetes medications on am only on blood pressure medication at the moment. My blood glucose numbers run between 155-200 no matter what time of day I check it. I have been implementing intermittent fasting with keto for the past month. So my question for you guys is this: Did I stop taking my medications for controlling Type 2 diabetes too soon? I was taking 1000mg metformin twice a day, 20mg glipizide twice a day, 10 units of lantis per day. I feel so amazing on keto and never want to go back to eating any other way. Do I need to go back on the medications for a short period of time until I heal a little more or will my body heal with a ketogenic diet and lifestyle changes over time? Most shocking to me when when my doctor told me I’d be on medication for the rest of my life and that diet and lifestyle don’t make a difference with Type 2 diabetes. In fact, one of his nurses told me that I was not insulin resistant. How the heck can a Type 2 diabetic NOT be insulin resistant? The idea of going back on these prescriptions that force me to eat more carbohydrates to counteract their effects is frustrating to me. Can you help me figure this out?

Does having an ApoE4 require me to reduce my saturated fat intake to prevent the atherogenic small dense LDL particles from developing? Hi Jimmy and Will, I have an ApoE4 that researchers say makes me more susceptible to having higher LDL cholesterol as well as an increased risk for developing heart disease. I eat LCHF and although my LDL-C is high (150) my Small LDL-P count is low at 129 and I’m solidly in Pattern A. My question for you guys is this: Should I be avoiding saturated fats like coconut oil and replacing them with monounsaturated fats like avocados? Will the saturated fats increase the number of small dense LDL particles even though my triglycerides are low? Thanks for your help with this one! Bryan 3. Does the gluconeogenesis that happens from consuming too much protein apply also to the protein found in eggs and plant proteins? Greetings you guys, I bought Keto Clarity at Barnes and Noble last week and have read about a third of it so far. When you refer to gluconeogenesis, does that apply to just to meats or is it to eggs and even plant-based proteins as well? Or are the proteins found in eggs and plants different than those in animal-based sources? I’ve always wondered why I never did well on the Atkins diet and this excessive protein issues seems to be the answer I’ve been looking for. Look forward to hearing your answer about my questions. Brian KETO TALK MAILBOX -- Does dietary fat that makes you feel good and happy while eating it spike dopamine in the same way that consuming sugar does? Is this good or bad? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, It’s very easy for me to wrap my head around and understand the spike in dopamine that takes place in your brain when you consume sugar. But a goofy thought ran through my head and it made me wonder if dietary fat could have the exact same effect in a fat-adapted person. I know that when I eat fat I always feel really good and happy. So does that mean I had a spike in dopamine? And if so, what are the ramifications for a ketogenic dieter if that is indeed happening?

Hello Jimmy and Will, I love keto and appreciate you guys for all of the info you put out there! I'm a 5’7” tall, 31-year old female, and weigh 158 pounds. I have been on a ketogenic diet for the past five weeks keeping my carbohydrate intake between 30-50g daily. I work out for an hour with HIIT and weight training about 3-4 times per week as well as 2-3 one-hour classes of indoor cycling weekly. Overall, I have been feeling pretty good with only occasional fatigue. I recently decided to add in fasting to my routine doing several 24-hour fasts so far.

Sarah Beth – STUDY: Ketogenic Diet Can Sustain Weight Loss Better Than Low-Fat Diets, Says Study 1. Can someone who produces excess bile eat a ketogenic diet if they can’t handle a higher fat intake? Hey guys, My daughter is a big believer in keto and she really wants to do the diet for her health. But she has a terrible time with eating fat, even the healthy fats, because of a bad bile reflux condition where she produces too much bile. Foods like guacamole, sausage, and even eggs make her queasy and nauseated. The standard medical advice for this condition is to go on a low-fat diet--something she knows from her research and experience is not a good thing. Do you have any ideas for her about how she can implement a ketogenic approach with this excessive bile issue? I should add that they have done an endoscopy and the doctor could see where her stomach lining was quite inflamed. She takes medications for that and if she misses just one dose, the result is horrible abdominal pain. Thanks so much for your help!

Does consuming sugar and carbs make the infection from legionnaires' disease better or worse? Hello my friends, I am new to keto and had to deal with this condition last week known as legionnaires' disease which is a severe form of pneumonia from the lung inflammation usually caused by an infection. I felt like I was basically starving to death. I consume carbs and sugar the last couple of days of dealing with this because I felt like my body needed them since I was in a mentally dark place. This condition left me crying often and feeling absolutely awful. Did the sugar and carbohydrates I consumed dealing with this make the infection worse or are they somehow a good thing when dealing with legionnaires' disease? Thank you for your insights. Catalina 3. Why are my fasting blood glucose levels rising since giving up wine when I went keto and will they normalize over time? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I've been following a low-carb diet for years and recently shifted over to keto. I love drinking wine every single day and I realized I probably was drinking too much of it. BOO! So I decided to give it up altogether to see if it would boost my ketogenic efforts to lose weight and improve my health markers. I lost 35 pounds a couple of years ago eating low-carb, but I haven’t lost anything more since. One thing I’ve always hung my hat on despite the lack of weight loss is my impeccable blood sugar control as well as other health markers I regularly track. I take a medication called Atacand Plus for hypertension but no other medications. I’m sure dropping the remaining 35 pounds of weight from my body will enable me to come off that medication for good. So here’s my issue: since going keto and coming off of my beloved wine, my fasting blood glucose levels have risen. I thought coming off the wine would be a good thing, but it seems my blood sugar has gone in the opposite direction. What’s causing this to happen and will it eventually normalize over time? Any insight into this is greatly appreciated. Love your podcasts! Cheryl MAKE KETO EASIER WITH FBOMB NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship KETO TALK MAILBOX – How do Ketonians effectively explain why people will no longer want to eat their favorite carbohydrate foods anymore once keto-adapted? Hey Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I’ve been keto for about a year and a half and had a few bad weeks over the holidays where I went in and out of ketosis and started having carb cravings again. The most amazing and hard to believe thing about keto has been the way carb cravings completely vanish for good so long as I stay in ketosis. In fact, I am in an office right now with a box of donuts right next to me and I simply don’t care nor do I have a desire to consume them. That’s utterly amazing and something I wouldn’t have imagined possible before being keto and experiencing it for myself. Several people in my life have adopted the ketogenic lifestyle after having seen my success and several others showed interest but could not get past the idea of giving up their beloved carbs. I try to explain to them that after they get keto-adapted, they won’t want carbs anymore. But it’s so hard for them to imagine what that would be like. I think that the biggest challenge we Ketonians have is effectively communicating why people won’t want to consume bread, pasta, chips, and all the other crappy carbage they think they can’t live without anymore. Do you have any suggestions on how to best do this? Thanks so much for all you do!

Is it an issue that I only have one well-formed and easy-to-pass bowel movement every other day since shifting my diet to keto? Hey Jimmy and Will, Thanks so much for talking so openly about poop! When you said that all we need is two snakes a day, all I could think of was no way! After shifting my diet to keto, I noticed the amount of food I was consuming decreased with more nutrient dense foods satisfying me. My theory is my body was actually able to use most of the food I was consuming without much waste which explains why my bowel movements went down. I simply generate less waste now, right? My estimation is that I average a poop every other day but it is well formed and passes easily so it doesn’t appear I am constipated. Should I be worried that it is so infrequent and what should I alter in my diet if my bowel habits sound problematic?

Why have I been experiencing regular bouts of loose stools since I’ve shifted my diet over to a ketogenic approach? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I've been listening to your podcast since I began keto in June. Thank you for all the great information. In August, I began struggling with regular bouts of diarrhea on a daily basis. I can't remember the last solid stool that I had. I no longer track my macros since I'm at my goal weight. I typically have a Bulletproof coffee with MCT oil powder and butter in the morning and eat leftovers for lunch, an afternoon snack of a cheese stick or almond butter, and then dinner with meat and veggies. I've been playing around with my carbs, including adding back in healthy carbs like sweet potato and checking my blood ketones to confirm I'm always in ketosis. I drink lots of water and I'm good about getting in my electrolytes. I've even cut back on magnesium to see if that would help. It has not. My stomach isn't upset and overall I feel a lot better than I did before keto. Any clues on what I can do to decrease the diarrhea? Thank you for your help!

What is causing my poop to be watery and yellow when I’m eating keto and extended fasting? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I’ve been eating keto with intermittent fasting since mid-April and have been slowly healing my gut from a lot of issues I was experiencing. But here is the issue: my poop is watery and yellowish in color (my liver levels were tested and it came back as optimal on the lab results). I especially see this yellowish loose stool when I fast for longer than 16 hours. My MCT oil consumption is 1 Tbs in my coffee and I did that without issues at the beginning of keto. It kicked in at the three- month mark. My food intake hasn’t changed much since going keto, but I have noticed that when I eat off plan even a little I get the runs hard and furious. One other issue that might be connected to this is I’m dealing with hair loss from thyroid issues as well as high estrogen levels. Can you help me figure this out? Thanks so much for your podcast! God bless you guys. Cecilia 5. What can I do to improve my Type 2 on the Bristol Stool chart to the more healthier Type 3 and 4? Hi Jimmy and Will, Thank you for all you do for the keto community. In the episode where you discussed the Bristol Stool chart, you commented that any good Bristol chart would include tips to fix each type of poop. I can’t find this information, so please post this in the show notes section of your Poopcast. I seem to constantly have Type 2 poop where it is sausage-shaped and lumpy and I’ve tried various tips to getting it back to normal, including adding salt, magnesium, extra water, and upping my fiber. But nothing seems to help other than doing an extended fast. Any other tips you can give me to help improve this to the more healthy stool? Thanks for your help, Stephanie   6. Is there anything wrong with never feeling constipated? And would only pooping once a week be a problem? Hello you guys, If you never feel constipated, is this something to worry about?

Why have my bowels come to a screeching halt since I switched over to a ketogenic diet? What can I do to get my bowel moving again? Hi Jimmy and The Poopmaster, I have been doing keto for about a month and ever since I started eating this way it’s like my bowels have come to a screeching halt. I consume 50-60g total carbs with around 30 grams of fiber. I drink close to a gallon of water a day and supplement with magnesium and probiotics. Is this an issue I need to be concerned about? Any ideas on how to make my bowels start back up again? Thanks, Dayna Leave us a review at Apple Podcasts!

Does eating a ketogenic diet lead to abdomen and back pain as a result of high acidic urine production? Why is this happening? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Will, Love your show! I have been experiencing a dull ache regularly in my mid to lower abdomen and back since I started keto over a year ago. Last week it started to get worse and I went to the ER to get some bloodwork, have x-rays taken, and CT scan (with contrast)—everything came back normal. The doctor’s best guess was that I have a stomach bug. This was based on deductive reasoning, which I did not buy. Today I researched this further and found this seems to be common with keto due to an acidic urine issue. Some of the remedies suggested include bicarbonate soda with Milk of Magnesia to ease the load on the kidneys. So my question for you guys is this: Do you see this in your ketogenic patients and how do you help them with it? Why is this happening?

How do I manage the carbohydrate cravings that come with bipolar disease do I can reduce my carbohydrate intake to ketogenic levels? Hey guys, I have a question for you regarding bipolar. I have it and the predictable carb cravings that go along with the disease. The theory is bipolar people crave carbs to stabilize their mood. I am currently under medicating for my bipolar and I’d love to find a more natural way to deal with this. I just started keto and dropped my carbohydrate intake from 180g to 90g daily. What can I do to get my daily carbohydrate intake to below 50g without the intense cravings that I’m experiencing from my disease?

Hi Jimmy and Dr. Will, I often hear people in the ketogenic community including you guys state to make sure you "eat enough calories.” But what does that mean? I'm a 50-year old women who engages in light exercise like walking, work a desk job and sit from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and I have NO idea how many calories to eat. Some say 1,200 while others say 2,000 which I think is pretty high. I'm so confused and frustrated because I still have at least 45 pounds to lose. While I'm not planning on counting calories, I'd like a general guideline as to what is right for me. Thanks for all your info. Lisa KETO TALK MAILBOX – What is the idea poop for someone eating keto?

What can I do to best manage this while remaining keto? Hello Jimmy and Will, I started eating low-carb keto in April this year as a way to lose weight. I have struggled staying in ketosis, but have lost over 20 pounds so far. But my biggest problem is I’ve been having bouts of diverticulitis since making this dietary change forcing me to take Metamucil to raise my fiber intake. My doctor is recommending that I discontinue the ketogenic approach even though he was the one that encouraged me to pursue it in the first place. My C-Reactive Protein is elevated and I am now getting concerned. I’ve done my homework on a ketogenic diet reading all the books and websites and am fully convinced it’s the way to go. I hold a PhD in Biomedical Science from a US medical school and even though all I have read runs counter to what I learned in graduate school, I am fully converted and convinced of keto.

What impact on ketosis will there be with the complete removal of the thyroid? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I have been eating keto since May 2016 and I feel great! I regularly check my blood ketones and am usually in the 0.7-2.0 range. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2006 and have been on 100 mcg Synthroid ever since. My thyroid levels were all in range last June but my thyroid kept getting larger. During the summer, my doctor found a nodule that ended up showing Hurthle cells. This concerned my doctor who said it’s a cancer risk and he recommended a total thyroidectomy. My surgery is schedule for next week and I’m wondering what impact this will have on my pursuit of nutritional ketosis. Will this make it more difficult for me to stay in ketosis if I no longer have a thyroid? I just want to know what I’m getting myself into so I can respond accordingly after the surgery.

What can I do to my keto approach to remedy this? Hey guys, I’m a big fan of Keto Talk and I’ve been eating this way for about a year with great results for the most part. But I noticed a couple of months after starting a ketogenic diet, my sex hormone binding globulin rose from 50 to 70 and my testosterone tanked. I’ve since run these tests several more times and they all confirm the same thing. From what I’ve read, this means my body’s ability to use any available testosterone has been hampered and many sites online blame a low-carb diet as the culprit. I need you to talk me off the ledge on this and help me figure out what is going on. Thanks, Zach 3. Does eating a low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet make the urine pH more acidic? If so, should I be worried about this at all? Dear Jimmy and Dr. Will, Yesterday, I went to see my General Practitioner to review my latest bloodwork. She knows I’ve been eating a ketogenic diet for the past nine months and was nothing but pleased with all my markers—except for one. My urine pH was 5.5 and she noted that indicates my body is a bit acidic. She said I shouldn’t worry about this since all the other numbers are perfectly fine, but she made the following statement that stopped me in my tracks: “I am not sure, but maybe it’s the ketones you are excreting that makes your urine more acidic.” What?! Is it true that being in ketosis makes your urine acidic? Should I be worried at all about this or is this of no concern at all. Thank you for your help! Miguel   KETO TALK MAILBOX – If the body prefers to be fueled by ketones, then why does it preferentially burn glucose over fat when both are present? Hello you guys, I am currently reading Keto Clarity and the biggest question I'm having about keto is this: If my body truly prefers being in a state of nutritional ketosis and runs more optimally on ketones than on glucose, then why does my body choose to preferentially choose burning sugar over fat if both are present?

I started keto in October last year and I am a Type 2 diabetic who let my diabetes and weight become out of control due to uncontrolled stress the two previous years. With the exception of a few vacations where I've cheated, I've been strictly keto otherwise eating less than 20g of carbs a day.

Would doing a protein sparing modified fast that is low-carb, but also very low in fat and calories bring more effective ketosis than a traditional keto diet? Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I recently purchased Keto Clarity and read it with a vengeance. Thank you so much for your insights, experience and expertise included in that book, Jimmy. I now feel like I have a great grasp on nutritional ketosis and how it can benefit the body. I've recently been through a trying period with my health and I ended up losing 50 pounds very rapidly due to not eating and malnutrition followed by gaining back 90 pounds when I was "better" again. I recently visited an endocrinologist to help me lose about half my body weight and I was excited when I left the appointment because she told me that I would be on a ketogenic diet! A friend suggested your book, so I purchased it and read it right away. However, after meeting with the dietitian through her office, I found out that I was put on what’s called a protein sparing modified fast. The plan is very limiting allowing only about 600 calories a day. It is also very low in fat and only includes 11 ounces of protein daily. So, after much thought and my sad attempt at researching this online, I thought I would contact you to ask this important question: Does limiting the amount of food you eat on a plan like this equal what a bariatric surgery patient would consume put the body into a more effective state of ketosis than following a more traditional ketogenic diet as described in your book? I truly appreciate any thoughts you may have on this. Sincerely, Daniella JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS   2. Is it possible that eating the higher amounts of protein required by the GAPS diet is causing me to plateau and even gain weight? Hi Jimmy and Will, I recently began working with a nutritional therapy practitioner and have been practicing the GAPS diet for about a week now to begin healing my gut and digestive system as well as to detoxify. Before this diet, I was following a ketogenic approach along with intermittent fasting for 16:8 naturally and then practicing 42-hour fasts three times a week and losing weight fairly easily. Now my weight has gone up some and plateaued. My NTP has asked me to stop fasting since it might deprive my body of the nutrients it needs to heal. At the first stage of the elimination portion of the GAPS diet, you eat animal meat boiled in bone broth with specifically approved vegetables like squash, broccoli, onion or cauliflower that are also boiled in bone broth. I am becoming convinced my plateau has to do with the higher amount of protein in this approach. I am only able to add animal fat to the stews and soups that are GAPS-approved and realize it's not the larger amount of fat I was eating on keto. So it seems I’m now eating a high-protein, moderate fat, low-carb diet. Do you have any insight whether or not it’s the protein that is stalling my weight loss and even gaining weight again?

Is it possible the ketogenic diet could be masking the symptoms of perimenopause? Is that why I’m not losing weight? What can be done to remedy this? Dear Jimmy and Dr. Cole, Can eating a ketogentic diet mask the symptoms of perimenopause? I have been eating a ketogenic diet for over a year after starting my nutritional health journey with a primal/Paleo diet. The pounds on the scale simply are not moving. My doctor had said according to my health markers that there is nothing wrong with my metabolism. My thyroid and adrenals were good and my A1C is 5.0 showing my blood sugar to be well-controlled. According to my doctor, my sex hormone levels indicate I am still fertile at the age of 46. When I test blood ketones, I am .5 or higher and even seeing as high as 2.2 mmol. Prior to eating clean, my cycles were becoming irregular, but after 2 1/2 years of eating well my cycles are now back on track. I am having cyclical symptoms of fatigue, moodiness, and joint pain that is not in correlation with my cycle. It's seems to be happening every 3-4 months and I am no long losing inches while gaining scale weight. Could these symptoms be perimenopausal even with a regular cycle? I am frustrated I'm not losing weight, but am grateful my health seems to be right on track. Thank you for all you do for the keto community. And thank you for answering my question. Theresa KETO TALK MAILBOX - Can my 11-year old granddaughter eat keto as long as she gets enough protein in her diet? How can we help eliminate her carbohydrate cravings? Hey guys, My granddaughter is a healthy 11-year old who is a bone fide carb junkie. She simply cannot resist eating carbage of all kinds. Both of her parents have been keto since March and I wonder if my granddaughter could eat this way as well so long as she gets enough protein. I’m a registered nurse and it seems to be safe for her to do to help get her extra weight under control. My real concern is with her carbohydrate cravings and whether they will turn into an eating disorder. We’ve already caught her hiding candy and cookies so she can eat them later and then she doesn’t eat the real food she is served at meal times.

What can be done to normalize the body’s hormone levels? Hi Jimmy and The Doc, I just came across your Keto Talk podcast and thought I would reach out to you for advice about the lap band I had removed due to erosion (hole in the stomach). I was very sad to let go of it. In my research on the effects of the lap band had on my body and eating so very little for so long, I suspect that it has taken a toll on my body and I’m now struggling to lose weight. When I consulted a medical weight loss clinic, they put me on a 1200 calorie, 120g carb diet and I gained weight in the two weeks I did it. That’s what led me to the ketogenic diet to help stave off the weight gain. Do you have any clinical experience or know about any research that looks at the use of keto for former lap banders looking for a way to keep their weight under control? I had my hormones tested and my testosterone came back at zero. I suspect having the lap band decreased my T levels from the stress it put my body through. So if the lap band changed my body’s hormone levels, what else has it changed? Is that why I’m struggling to lose weight like everyone else can? How do I figure out what I need to do since we are not all the same. Thanks so much for your help!

Why would blood sugar levels go up when taking long lasting insulin while eating keto? Hey guys, I am currently in the process of reading Keto Clarity and have begun the switch over to burning fat instead of sugar. I am a Type 2 diabetic and inject insulin four times a day. Recently I went on a road trip and forgot to bring my insulin. When I got back home, I checked my blood sugar and saw the best reading I have had in over six months. But here’s where it gets weird—when I took my long lasting insulin, the next day my glucose numbers were higher again. Why in the world would my blood sugar go up when taking insulin while eating a ketogenic diet? Any insights you have on this would be awesome. Craig 2. Could the joint pain in my knees be brought on simply by being in a state of nutritional ketosis? Hello Jimmy and Adam, I am a big fan of your podcast and have been keto for six months losing around 60 pounds. I'm now in the best shape of my life at the age of 30 and feel great with lots of energy and I actually love working out now. However, I’ve noticed I’m dealing with a lot more joint pain now than I did before eating ketogenic, especially in my knees. I thought things would improve now that I’ve taken off some extra weight. I am definitely in ketosis when I test for them and I’m trying to avoid what my mother just went through with a double knee replacement. I feel pain in the joints but don’t have any noticeable inflammation. Is being in ketosis causing this to happen? Thank you so much for your help.

Does a ketogenic diet lead to abnormally high liver function test results? Is my liver overstressed by having to metabolize the extra dietary fat? Hi Jimmy and The Doc, A few years back, I had abnormally high liver function test results and my primary care physician was concerned that my numbers got worse because of keto. My AST and ALT were around 100 and they’re supposed to be no higher than 37. At the time she advised me to start eating more carbs and all my numbers that were bad came within the normal range. I started keto and fasting again in 2016 and lost 64 pounds after my third pregnancy. I’m concerned when I go back to see my doctor next month that my liver tests will be bad again. I’m hypothyroid, but I don’t have any known liver or gallbladder issues. Is it possible my liver was overstressed by having to metabolize the extra fat in my ketogenic diet? If so, then does that mean keto isn’t right for me? I sure hope not because I feel so fantastic in ketosis. Thanks for any insight about this and thank you for all you both do! Kelly KETO TALK MAILBOX – Should I strive to have higher levels of blood ketones if I seem to be thriving in my mental clarity and energy when I am barely in ketosis? Hey Jimmy and Adam, I’ve been doing a ketogenic diet for three months as a physically active 27-year old man with 10% body fat. I’ve noticed that I feel so much better when I’m barely in ketosis at around 0.5 mmol—that’s my sweet spot where I have better mental clarity and energy. Anytime I’ve tried pushing blood ketones up by moderating protein more, my ketones rise to 2.0-5.0 mmol, but I don’t feel quite the same mental benefits as I do in the lower level of ketosis. So my question for you guys is this—should I strive for higher ketones and hope these kick in at some point to give me the benefits I desire or should I listen to my body and return to the lower level where I seem to thrive? By the way, you’ll find it interesting that I seem to tolerate more carbohydrates in my diet than more protein. I’ve been able to eat as much as 50g carbs (10% of my caloric intake) without every impacting my ketosis levels while eating just 2% more protein in my diet will kick me out of ketosis completely. Fascinating! I don’t take any supplements and don’t use any sweeteners at all. I’ve yet to find anyone else dealing with this issue, so I’d love to hear an explanation of what might be going on. Thanks in advance!

The "expert" claims that it’s not sugar that’s responsible for the growth of cancer cells but rather insulin. They conclude from this that we should not be avoiding carbs. Maybe it’s just me but isn't this "expert" just shooting themselves in the foot by drawing this conclusion? If insulin is supposed to be the culprit in causing cancer and carbohydrates are the primary instigator in these raised insulin levels, then wouldn't lowering carb intake then be a wise strategy decrease insulin? Ummm, hello? The conclusions of this "expert" are really poorly thought out and even contradictory.

My wife and I are measuring our blood glucose and blood ketones every morning and keeping track of it. I will occasionally experience a lump in my throat since starting keto and my Google searches about this show a lot of theories about what it is, including acid reflux. We eat a very clean low-carb, high-fat, ketogenic diet with no processed foods and plenty of fresh leafy greens, grass-fed meats, butter, coconut oil, avocado, cheese, and more.

Why would someone eating ketogenic experience very intense stomach pain and unbearable acid reflux? What can be done to resolve this issue?   Jimmy and Adam,   I love your podcast and have been on keto for six months. I am now inspired to help others start their own keto journey. Unfortunately, one of the people I’ve tried to help is a close friend who started keto about a month after I did and she has been experiencing some very intense stomach pain and unbearable acid reflux. Her doctor ran all the GI test and it all came back clear. The only solutions mainstream medicine has to offer is pills, pills, and more pills. She did suffer from bulimia for seven years and this is likely where her problem started. Do you have any suggestions on what she should do to resolve this? I’m guessing it’s a gut bacteria/enzyme issue and she’s been taking apple cider vinegar and cold water to no available so far.   Thanks for al the info you are puting out!   Travis   2. For someone who is skinny fat, how do get body fat percentage into a healthy range without getting too skinny?   Hello Jimmy and Doc Nally,   I found your podcast three weeks ago and am finding it very informative in my ketogenic journey. I’m 61 years old and could be considered skinny fat. I’ve been ketogenic for 18 months and got down to 115 pounds, but still with a body fat of 30%. I ordered a Ketonix to test breath ketones, but urine ketone testing strips show I’m in ketosis. So my question for you guys is this: Should I be concerned if I continue to lose scale weight but the body fat percentage is not getting into a healthy range?My rheumatologist is concerned that I’m losing too much weight and wonders if I'm eating enough. How do I convince my doctors that I'm doing okay? Also what body fat percentage should I be shooting for? Thanks so much! My husband and I have learned so much from you and he’s down 25 pounds while getting off his blood pressure medications.

Can a ketogenic diet help to heal some very painful hemorrhoids?   Hi Jimmy and The Doc,   I'm a big fan of your podcast and it’s been a fabulous resource for my keto journey this past year as it has healed my eczema and IBS completely. My question for you is about my husband who is experiencing some very painful hemorrhoids. He eats what he thinks are “healthy choices,” works out six days a week, doesn’t smoke, and drinks on occasion. He also had gallbladder surgery a couple of years ago. I've been trying to get him on board with keto in the hopes it could give him some relief from the hemorrhoid pain. Can a ketogenic diet help him with this? Your input is greatly appreciated!   Shirin   KETO TALK MAILBOX   – Is a lowering of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) from eating a ketogenic diet actually beneficial to longevity? Are “normal” BMR levels too high based on SAD dieters?   Hi Jimmy and Dr. Nally,   I love the inspiration and support I receive from Keto Talk. Prior to going keto, a dietitian had me on a weight loss diet that included low-fat and calorie-counting. Predictably, I was constantly hungry despite losing weight eating that way. But I couldn’t maintain it and the regain was rapid. The dietitian told me that my metabolism had slowed down meaning I needed to eat less and less calories to start losing weight again. Dr. Nally has said many times that eating too few calories will lower your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the benefits that come from the restriction of carbohydrates in the context of a well-formulated ketogenic diet. This is probably a much more complex system than we even know, but I wonder if what we regard as a “normal” BMR is different for Ketonians vs. SAD dieters since the BMR test ranges is based on mostly people eating non-keto. This might sound controversial, but what if the ketogenic diet lowers BMR and that helps improve longevity? Could it be that lowering BMR below what is considered “normal” is actually the real normal range for healthy living? I hope this question provokes a potential knowledge spill.   Kind regards,   Frank in Brisbane, Australia   LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE 77 – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Jump start your ketogenic diet with PerfectKeto.com/Jimmy (USE PROMO CODE LLVLC FOR 15% OFF) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Drop an FBOMB for the freshest, high-quality fats from JimmyLovesFBomb.com (Get 10% off your first food order with coupon code “JIMMYLOVESFBOMB”) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: Get a full selection of ketogenic-friendly foods at OneStopKeto.com (FREE SHIPPING on orders over $99 and use coupon code KETOTALK for a special discount) – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: The world’s freshest and most flavorful artisanal olive oils. Get your $39 bottle for just $1. – JIMMY AND ADAM’S NEW SUPPLEMENT LINE: Try the KetoEssentials Multivitamin and Berberine Plus ketogenic-enhancing supplements  – SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR: HIGH-FAT LOW-CARB, PERFECT MACROS visit ShopKetoShake.com – Sugar and Cancer from Oncology Nutrition as part of the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics – Don’t believe the American Heart Assn. — butter, steak and coconut oil aren’t likely to kill you by Nina Teicholz – Embracing the low-carb trend – A Carbohydrate Deficient Diet That Builds Muscle And No, It’s Not Keto – STUDY: Visceral adiposity and metabolic syndrome after very high–fat and low-fat isocaloric diets: a randomized controlled trial – Jimmy Moore from “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb” – Dr. Adam Nally, DO from DocMuscles.com – HELP KEEP KETO TALK ON THE AIR: MAKE A DONATION HERE

Are they beneficial while eating ketogenic? Jimmy and Adam, Various spices are reputed for their glucose lowering effects. For example, apple cider vinegar, fenugreek, and cinnamon are all well-known to decrease blood sugar levels and I’m sure there are many others. My question for you guys is this: What impact does ingesting these spices have while on a ketogenic diet specifically on BHOB blood ketone levels. I currently take fenugreek because I learned about the glucose lowering effects in a study when it slowed the absorption of the carbage these SAD dieters were eating. But since a well-formulated keto diet has very few carbs to begin with, would the fenugreek provide the same benefit or may it even backfire given that fenugreek is almost 60% carbohydrates? I realize blood sugar lowering isn’t the same as ketone-boosting, but I do see the two going hand-in-hand. So what do you think? I realize this might be a question without a clear answer, but I’d still love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the very informative and helpful podcast.

Does a ketogenic diet lower insulin levels and provide ultimate healing for insulin resistance which seems to be genetic? Hi guys, I'm a recovered diabetic thanks to eating a low carb (but not necessarily ketogenic) diet. I used to be on the maximum daily Metformin dosage and took 130 units a day of long-acting insulin. I’m off all of those medications now and have an A1c of 5.3. I lost 60 pounds fairly easily on low-carb, but now it’s stalled out. My insulin levels are still very high, so I assume I’m still quite insulin resistant which is making the weight loss stubborn. I’ve added in some intermittent fasting of 18/6 as well as a few 24-hour fasts on the weekend where my blood ketone levels have reached about 1.0 mmol. My question for you guys is this: Does your experience show that a truly ketogenic diet lowers insulin levels? Some experts I’ve heard have said that research shows that insulin resistance is pretty much genetic which means you may not be able to drop it below some arbitrary level no matter what you do. Do you agree or disagree with this? Thanks for answering my question! Mark HIGH-FAT LOW-CARB, PERFECT MACROS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship 2. Could incorrect pressure in a CPAP machine prevent weight loss despite achieving therapeutic levels of ketones? Hello Jimmy and The Doc, I have a question for you about sleep apnea. I have used a CPAP machine for 15+ years and I wear it faithfully every night. I started keto in January 2016 and have noticed since eating this way that I don't have as many aches and pains as I once did. I have only been able to lose 10 or so pounds, my blood pressure is somewhat high at 138/85, my AC1 is 5.7, and my urine cortisol levels are fairly high at 188. Could incorrect pressure in my CPAP machine have anything to do with not being able to lose weight despite the fact that I’m burning ketones according to the Ketonix which always shows me blowing red for higher levels of ketosis? Thank you for your time, Kurt 3. Can a high-dose Vitamin C IV treatment spike blood sugar levels alone or is there hidden glucose causing this? Hey Guys, We love your podcast and anxiously await the new episodes each week. My wife and I have been low-carb for two years and keto most of the time for the past year. I travel about 18 days a month so it’s hard to maintain a state of nutritional ketosis all the time. We are 60 and 61 years old and we keep our blood ketone levels between 0.5 to 1.0 most of the time. Our question is about rising blood sugar levels after getting a Vitamin C IV from our functional medical doctor. My wife and I have both been getting this treatment lately because our bloodwork showed that we are low on Vitamin B and C even though we take supplements for both of them. After the first Vitamin C IV treatment, my blood glucose level rose to 172 and my wife’s went to 284 about 1 hour after the treatment. Our normal fasting blood glucose levels are between 77-95 depending on how we ate the day before. Needless to say, we became concerned this would have a negative impact on our insulin resistance. When we asked our doctor about it thinking that there must be some glucose in the IV bag, she said that it was just a reaction to the high dose vitamin C and that there was no glucose in it. We had already paid for two treatments each, so we did it again this week and this time our blood sugar went up to 144 and 128 respectively an hour later. Have you ever heard of this kind of reaction or do you think that there was some glucose in the IV? Our doctor knows that we practice low-carb and she is monitoring us because she’s still quite skeptical.

Hello guys, Back in Episode 12 of Keto Talk, Dr. Nally mentioned that cortisol levels rise as a direct result of an injury or surgery and that depending on the extent of the damage to your body and the repair it needs, it might kick you out of ketosis for 2-12 months. So my question for you is this: When you are out of a state of nutritional ketosis during this recovery period and assuming that you stay on a ketogenic diet, what exactly is my body using for fuel during this time? And what is happening to all the dietary fat I am consuming? Thanks for a great and very informative podcast!

Is it my thyroid detoxing or something else? Hello Jimmy and Megan! I’m now 4 1/2 days into my first ever 7-day water fast. Thanks to The Complete Guide to Fasting, I was well-prepared and I managed the first two days just fine and the hunger pangs are all but gone now. I’m sleeping soundly, and my daily energy levels are sufficient enough to handle my normal activities, but I don’t feel like there’s enough gas in the tank for my normal exercise routines. I do have a few worrisome symptom that I wanted to ask you about. I’ve noticed a tight feeling in my throat starting in the morning of Day 3. It’s located around the hollow of my neck just at and above the level of my collar bone. It’s actually something I used to feel all the time, before I adopted a cleaner way of eating over a year ago and that sensation has been gone for several months. But now it’s back with a vengeance since I commenced extended fasting. It seems to be where I think my thyroid is, so of course I’m wondering if my thyroid is suffering or just detoxing and getting healthy and strong again. Any ideas about what might be going on? Bless you for resurrecting the important tool of fasting! I had all but given up on shedding these extra 10 pounds that suddenly appeared a couple years ago. I’m thrilled about reforming my eating habits, improving my blood sugar, and EASILY eliminating wheat and artificial sweeteners, and of course the weight loss.

Hey guys, love the show! Thanks for all of your hard work and for educating your listeners around the world. My question for you guys is this: Are there any specific weight loss, insulin resistance or general advantages to doing a 10-day fast vs. doing two 5-day fasts?

Would limiting my fasting to non-training days be best for someone like me doing Brazilian jiu jitsu? Hey Jimmy and Megan, About two years ago I was living a sedentary lifestyle and weighed 275 pounds at 5'9". Now I'm down to 190 pounds after a lot of hard work and not drastically changing my eating habits other than cutting out sodas, cakes, and other sugary snacks. I'm what you might call a "fatthlete" (fat athlete). I train Brazilian jiu jitsu five days a week and I'm a little worried about fasting because from what I understand about it vigorous physical activity can cause problems for people. What are your thoughts on circadian fasting or fasting only on days I don't train? Would those be better fasting options for me? Thank you in advance for your advice, James 4. Is it okay to engage in a fast post-surgery? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Hi guys, I’m so glad I found Fasting Talk. I already listened to Keto Talk and this new podcast makes my life complete. What I want to know about is if there are any guidelines for fasting after surgery. Is there a time period when it’s not advisable to fast post-op? Or does it depend of the surgery? I had my appendix out just before Christmas and while I felt fine doing a 40-hour fast in the week afterwards, my husband got rather anxious about me doing this. I have been doing a 20-4 intermittent fast most days for the last year with occasional longer fasts. But I haven’t found any information about fasting post-surgery anywhere.

Can you fast consuming green vegetable juice and coconut water? How about with the Master cleanse? Hi guys, I’m curious to know if you would ever recommend fasting on green vegetable juice and coconut water? Also, I’ve heard about a lot of people having success doing the Master cleanse which uses lemons and maple syrup? I know the latter has a lot of sugar but maybe this works best for people who are more insulin sensitive. Any thoughts on this?

WORLD’S 1ST REUSABLE BREATH KETONE ANALYZER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship Here’s what Jimmy, Megan, and Angel talked about in Episode 12: - How can I maintain the lower blood pressure numbers from extended fasting when the fast is over?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   Fasting topics almost always focus on obesity and diabetes.  I'd like to hear you guys discuss how you can lower blood pressure with extended fasting. I've done four extended supervised water fasts and each time I've been able to get great blood pressure numbers without the need for medication. Unfortunately, over time, my high blood pressure comes back probably because I haven't cleaned up my diet. I would love to hear more about how to keep the numbers down.   Thanks,   Erik   Fasting could prevent aging and transform your body, but it goes against everything we think of as healthy GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   HOT TOPIC:  Extended Fasting Is Dangerous For Your Health   1. How can I do longer fasts when i have to cook for my family of five on a nightly basis?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I love this new podcast! The longest I have ever gone during a fast is 24 hours, but I would like to go longer in fasting. I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and fibromyalgia. My problem is I have a family of 5 and I cook for them most evenings and this can trigger me to want to eat.  As you can probably guess, my family eats a clean version of the SAD diet and I am the only one who eats keto in the house.  How do I make a longer fast work in this context?  Would meal prepping ahead of time help in these situations? I would like to fast for 36 hours and then try to do longer fasts.   Thank you for your insights,   Georgette   2. Can fasting help with the exhaustion phase of adrenal fatigue? Is IF or extended fasting better for dealing with this?   Can you please explain how fasting can help with adrenal fatigue?  keep reading conflicting information on this subject and I am unsure whether fasting is right for me. I am currently in the "exhaustion" phase of adrenal fatigue, so my question for you is whether I need to get the adrenal fatigue under control first before fasting or will fasting help me with this condition? And what kind of fast would you recommend? Is intermittent or extended fasting better for dealing with the exhaustion phase of adrenal fatigue?   Thanks in advance,   Kylee GET A $39 BOTTLE OF OLIVE OIL FOR JUST A BUCK GET YOUR $39 BOTTLE FOR JUST $1 NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   3. Would drinking aloe vera juice on a fasting day break my fast?   Hello Jimmy and Megan,   Thank you so much for creating Fasting Talk. I have read your book The Complete Guide to Fasting and started alternate day fasting. So far, I’ve seen some great benefits doing this, including feeling fantastic, a sharp mind and focus while working, and weight loss. I have one question for you about fasting days—can I drink my aloe vera juice in the morning while fasting? Would this break the fasting period?   Thanks for your help,   Kishore   4. Is it okay to still chew nicotine gum while fasting?   Hi Jimmy and Megan,   I got your fasting book and have been doing a 16:8 fast on a regular basis. This might be a strange question, but can I chew nicotine gum when I am fasting?   Much regards,   David   5. How do you prevent the loss of electrolytes and minerals when you are extended fasting?   Hi Jimmy,   I keep hearing you talking about fasting, fasting, fasting all the time. But if you fast with zero food for 7 days, for example, how do you not lose electrolytes and minerals? Don’t you need to drink more than just water to keep from becoming sick? I am a little confused about all this.   Thanks for your help,   Victoria JIMMY AND DR.

GIVE YOUR ELECTROLYTES A SUGAR-FREE BOOST USE COUPON CODE “LLVLC” FOR $10 OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship   SPECIAL GUEST PATIENT: Angel Ramos (aka Mr. Megan Ramos!) I grew up in Orlando and ate a typical diet throughout the first 25 years of my life. I did cut out soda/pop in my teens and noticed that I lost some weight without any change to my physical activity but I was still overweight with a poor body composition. I stayed up late, ate crap junk food and drank in university and grad school. My weight peaked while on holiday in Germany as a graduation trip, 235 pounds at 6'2". I noticed new stretch marks, a marked drop in my energy levels and my clothes were tight! I was starting to get concerned about my future health and what could happen given my family medical history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, and Alzheimer's. I'm a scientist and I enjoy researching, so I went to work. With the limited nutritional knowledge I had and novice workout experience, I started reading various sources online. There are some great fitness subreddits that really helped me to understand what I needed to do. I started tracking my calories, lowered my fat intake, upped the protein and began a weight training and cardio regiment. After about 9 months of exercise and diet, my weight was about 220 pounds and I was significantly stronger in the gym, but I still had plenty of fat. This is where my story changes, I met Megan Christie (Ramos). After we had been dating for a few months, treating every trip to see each other as a vacation and eating junk, Megan explained the IDM program to me in detail and I was blown away. I began to see that by eating tons of processed/refined carbohydrates, I was only hurting myself. I also began fasting when I started eating an LCHF diet. Our cavemen ancestors certainly didn't get lucky and have a feast every day, so why do I need 3 square meals a day. I started out doing 24-hour fasts from dinner to dinner and was quickly surprised that it was much easier than I thought. After about a week, my body wasn't angry at me if at 1 pm I haven't eaten anything. I began to see weight fall off over the course of a few months. I had to buy almost an entirely new wardrobe because none of my clothes fit. I'm proud to say that I've lost 70 pounds and now weigh about 165 pounds.

Can anyone doing an intermittent or alternate day fast enjoy a glass or two of wine? Hello Jimmy and Megan, I watched Dr. Jason Fung's fantastic presentation to colleagues on YouTube where he shared about a patient who managed to still enjoy a couple glasses of wine while fasting and had amazing success. I love the idea of flexibility while fasting, but at what point does a patient impede or derail their success with something like a glass or two of wine? Was he the exception or is wine with dinner allowed to be incorporated into a successful intermittent fasting or alternate daily fasting program if you track the carbs in them? Thank you for this show, I am really enjoying it! Maryann KEY QUOTE: “Take a little bit of fat for the first few days of a fast. The extra fat takes extra energy to burn and warms you up.” – Megan Ramos 2. How do I deal with cold extremities that come when I start extended fasting? Hey guys, I’m a 68-year old woman who has had a total hysterectomy, had my gallbladder removed in my early twenties, and am hypothyroid taking Synthroid. I do quite well fasting from 4-6 days. My question is what happens to me beginning on the first day of an extended fast—my hands and feet become extremely cold. It can't be from a lack of salt because this starts to happen right away in Day 1 of fasting. I tried consuming some homemade bone broth with salt, but it hasn’t helped. Any help would be appreciated, Ruth 3. Is there any reason not to fast if you are attempting to get pregnant? Hey guys! Love The Complete Guide To Fasting and the Fasting Talk podcast. I've been doing 24-hour fasts, four days a week for weight loss. I've lost 10 pounds and have about 10 more to go. My boyfriend and I are trying to get pregnant and I was wondering if engaging in fasting while trying to get pregnant is safe. Thanks for your insights! Amanda JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS   4. How do you control the increase in cortisol that comes from fasting from being a detriment to weight loss? Hi guys, How do you make sure your fasting routine isn’t being a stress on your body so that you do not have an increase in cortisol which would shut down weight loss? Thanks, Mary KEY QUOTE: "If you want to know how something is going to impact you, test it!

I run-bike-swim several miles a week. I plan on fasting on Mondays and Thursdays (for 36 hours) and wonder if I will have the energy I need to get through the workouts? Alan AND Love your new podcast. My question is about fasting and exercise. I currently practice intermittent fasting but wanted to try an extended fast. I lift weights four days a week and cycle around 80 miles as well. I wanted to know what effect fasting would have on my performance and weight loss/muscle gain? Would long lasting fasts be effective for someone like me?

Fasting is truly incredible.” – Megan Ramos Here’s what Jimmy and Megan talked about in Episode 10: LISTENER TESTIMONIAL: Hey guys, After devouring everything I could on Dr. Jason Fung, along with your books, I decided to contact his Intensive Dietary Management clinic to become a client. I tried doing a 24-hour fast on my own and came to the realization I needed support. I’m back to doing 16:8 IF every day, but definitely needed help with doing longer fasts. When I am eating, it’s ketogenic. I can’t begin to tell you how excited, thrilled, and optimistic I feel about working with IDM. Just knowing there is a solution to my weight problem makes me feel like I have finally found my Holy Grail because NOTHING has worked for me. Even eating low-carb, high-fat was not enough to get me into fat-burning mode. I actually needed to get and keep my insulin low for a longer period of time than 12 hours, which is what I had not been doing. All of us who have struggled with our weight and health issues and have done numerous programs that have failed us, who have lived with despair and suffered with this horrible affliction, know how painful this all is. Now, to have an answer, a healthy, doable answer, is a miracle. I just had to share with you my absolute joy about this discovery. Thank you for The Complete Guide To Fasting.

Are there special fasting considerations for people with hypothyroidism? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I've read a lot about how fasting affects various health issues, but I haven't seen anything on thyroid disease, specifically hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s). Do you have clients in the IDM program with this and is there anything different you do with them? Thanks so much! Patti KEY QUOTE: “Let the positive health benefits motivate you to conquer your fear of fasting." – Jimmy Moore 2. Is it necessary to eat low-carb, high-fat on non-fasting days to maintain the benefits of alternate day fasting? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I have lost weight successfully using alternate day fasting. I am 5'10" tall and currently weight 163 with a BMI of 23.4 and a 34" waist. On my fasting days, I eat from 0-500 calories and I eat LCHF on my non-fasting days. So what would happen if I did not eat LCHF on my non-fasting days? Would I still see results just at a slower pace or would that negate the benefits I am seeing? Thanks! Tommy 3. If you only eat one meal a day for a 24-hour fast, how do you get adequate calories to prevent metabolic slowdown? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Okay, now I am confused. On a recent episode of Fasting Talk, I heard Megan says it is detrimental to your health to not get enough calories in on your feeding days. She noted that patients who only eat 500-800 calories a day are the hardest ones to help because their metabolism has been slowed down for so long. But then in last week’s episode from Low Carb Breckenridge with Dr. Fung answering questions, he said it’s okay to eat one meal a day when you intermittent fast and that he doesn’t really care about how many calories you get in that meal. There’s no way I could get over 1,000 calories in one meal. So if you are doing this six days a week then aren’t you getting to that place where Megan says it is detrimental with the low calorie intake? Please help me with this. Leota 4. Do I need to do extended fasting to help reduce eczema symptoms or can keto/IF give me relief from this? Hello Jimmy and Megan, Thank you so much for the information you are providing the public. You make my job as a Mind-Body Nutrition Coach easier, knowing I am providing quality, relevant information for myself and my clients. My question for you guys is about eczema. From what I’ve read, it seems fasting is beneficial, but more so for doing an extended fast of more than three days. I'm not sure I want to fast for that long since I don't have any weight to lose. I'm 5'3", 123 pounds, 52 years old and very active with trail running 2x/week, Crossfit 2x/week and ballroom dancing 2-3 times per week. Would shorter or intermittent fasting reduce the eczema symptoms or do I need to suck it up and do an extended fast of a few days to get the most benefits? Or would a ketogenic diet alone help with this? Thank you for all you do! Phyllis JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 5. Are there any differences in the fasting experience consuming water vs. dry fasting? Hello Jimmy and Megan, I've read your book on fasting and love this podcast. I have been doing 7-day fasts and intermittent fasts on a regular basis. While reading your book, I saw that fasting is a practice followed by numerous religious traditions. But one element of several of these traditions, such as Ramadan, that I did not see mentioned in your book or discussed on your show is the impact of not drinking anything during the daytime of these religious fasting periods. Fasting means abstaining from food and drink from dawn to dusk. All the discussions of fasting assumes you are consuming water. But what about these dry fasts during the daytime? Is this something different about fasting with liquids vs. fasting without them?

You recently answered a question of mine about whether I could fast for three days on and three days off to get the autophagic results of an extended fast. I was concerned because I didn't think I could do an extended fast because of my very physical job. Well, long story short, I completed a 26-day fast running solely on water, green tea, and KetoAide (which is a blend of water, light salt for sodium and potassium, and magnesium citrate). I felt fine, had plenty of energy, needed very little sleep, watched some scary stuff come out of my body, dropped 30 pounds, and kept off 18 of it since ending the fast. I could have physically continued to fast, but it was somewhat mentally taxing more than physically—and I just lost the will to continue it. So I broke the fast with a handful of black olives and almonds and then had a nice three egg veggie omelet an hour later. Pure bliss! Thanks again for all you guys do! Happy Fasting! Gary HOT TOPIC: Does fasting raise or lower your cholesterol numbers? Hey Jimmy and Megan, Here’s a hot topic idea for your Fasting Talk podcast. How exactly does fasting impacts your cholesterol? I’ve heard you say how it lowered your cholesterol, but my doctor said fasting would raise mine. And he was right. I had my blood lipids drawn after a 5-day water-only fast as prescribed in The Complete Guide To Fasting and my numbers were wrecked as you’ll see in my results below. I was ketogenic in the before starting fasting, so this is a shock. I would love to hearing a discussion about this on your podcast. Maybe it only works for people with already high cholesterol levels? Here are my numbers after fasting compared with keto: Total cholesterol 255 -- previously 197 Triglycerides 169 -- previously 84 HDL 41 -- previously 69 LDL 180 -- previously 121 Any thoughts? Brady JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS 1. Is the fat-burning from a water fast equivalent to the fat-burning from being in a state of ketosis? Hey Jimmy and Megan, I have water fasted for 21 days and many shorter ones for spiritual reasons. I know what it's like to have zero hunger after 3 days of no food. I have plenty of energy to walk and lift light things, but I’m not ready for eight hours of hard labor during a water fast. When I’m in nutritional ketosis, I also have no hunger but I’m able to do heavy lifting and do a full eight hours of hard labor work without trouble. I'm guessing the body fat burns better when we eat fat and protein on eating days than when we water fast. But we have plenty of stored body fat to fuel us when we fast. So my question is this: why can't I do my normal routine that includes a very physically demanding job on just a water fast and have the same amount of energy as I experience in nutritional ketosis? It seems they are accomplishing the same thing and should work equally. What say you? Steve 2. Does the autophagy that fasting produces cause any pain? And can that process prevent weight loss? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I’m currently in Day 7 of my fast and for the past three days my lower body, including my calves, quads, glutes, hips, and lower back, has been so sore that it has prevented me from getting adequate sleep. Full disclosure, these areas in particular are stressed in my daily life already. But fasting seems to make it worse. Could this pain be associated with the autophagy that is happening while I’m fasting? Could this be why I haven’t lost any weight during my fast? I’m consuming clear homemade vegetable broth made from carrots, onions, parsley, and celery over the past couple of days, so maybe there in an insulin response to consuming this. This has been a disaster for me and I’d love to hear your perspective on what might be going on. Thanks for considering my questions for your show.

Can a gastric sleeve making longer fasting contraindicative? Hi Jimmy and Megan, I had a gastric sleeve put on three years ago and I have been LCHF off and on for most of that time shifting to keto three months ago. I have been playing around with intermittent fasting since 2015 but decided to give an extended fast a go in 2017. My goal was to fast for as long as I could, but by Day 4 I started to feel nauseous and threw up after taking my salt in the morning. By Day 5 it got worse and I broke the fast. I actually felt so horrible that I called my doctor who recommended taking pain medications and rest. My blood pressure got very high during the fast and I felt so uncomfortable from this experience. Within a few days I felt better and was back to normal again. I don’t know why I reacted so badly, but was wondering if my gastric sleeve was the reason why my extended fasting attempt was an abysmal failure. Have you seen any patients in my situation who have had a similar experience? I really want to do extended fasts to experience the benefits that come from doing it. Thanks for you help!
