Roxana Soetebeer, once considered a "hopeless" type 2 diabetic on 50 units of insulin, completely reversed her condition through a ketogenic diet, demonstrating that type 2 diabetes is not the "chronic progressive disease" her doctors claimed it to be.KISMETWhen Roxana's blood sugar levels dangerously spiked to the 400s, her desperate late-night call to a friend led to a life-changing recommendation to watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet – a coincidence that completely transformed her health trajectory and sparked her mission to help others.EPISODE SUMMARYRoxana Soetebeer shares her remarkable journey from severe type 2 diabetes to complete remission. After being told her condition was "chronic and progressive," Roxana found herself with dangerously high blood sugar levels around 400. In a desperate moment, a friend recommended she watch Dr. Stephen Phinney's lecture on the ketogenic diet. Within days of starting keto, Roxana saw dramatic improvements. She cut her insulin dose in half immediately and eventually eliminated it completely. Beyond diabetes reversal, her kidney disease, fatty liver disease (NASH), and acid reflux resolved as well. Roxana discusses her struggle with sugar addiction, comparing it to other substance addictions and explaining why "moderation" fails for true addicts. Now a certified Metabolic Health Practitioner, she runs a Facebook group with over 20,000 members and advocates for others. Her story challenges the conventional medical approach that treats metabolic conditions as inevitable, progressive diseases requiring lifelong medication.NOTABLE QUOTE"If you had asked me six years ago if I would be getting better or healthier or would get off insulin, I would have said no way, I tried everything...

Episode 2206 - On this Friday's show, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes back Dr. Eric Westman and the two discuss the benefits of fat as fuel, sugar addiction, Big Food, Dr. Westman's new book about ending carb confusion, and more. [libsyn_podcast id=24590337] PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS END YOUR CARB CONFUSION Vinnie welcomes Dr. Eric Westman back to the show and asks him about the Duke Keto Medical Clinic. (1:15) Keto is shifting your body to fat-burning and there are so many benefits to it; Eric gives an example. (8:00) Eating a keto diet doesn't have to be expensive; there are ways to find deals on meat purchases. Many people find that they end up eating less food because they are more satisfied. Vinnie chats about his interest in building lean muscle mass when he was younger and noticed that bodybuilders would get "cut" by eating protein and fat, not carbs. (15:30) Vinnie then asks Eric what nutrition training was like when he was in medical school and how it's progressed. (17:00) Both men agree that Dr. Stephen Phinney (of Virta Health) has been a huge influence on what they know about a ketogenic way of eating. The conversation turns to fat as fuel for long distances and some of the current successful athletes doing it. (21:30) Even though there are many examples of these athletes, there is still so much doubt that it's even "possible". Vinnie asks Eric why there are so many dietitians and other health and science professionals resistant to doing further studies and promoting keto as a solution. (30:50) NIH is still stuck on CICO (calories in, calories out), even though it's been proven it doesn't work and is not sustainable. Eric mentions that funding is a big issue. Ending carb confusion is the goal. Vinnie and Eric agree that there is no diabetes in a world without carbs. (35:15) They then talk about sugar addiction needs to be looked at seriously. (40:45) The chat about autoimmune conditions and how they are affected by carbs. Big Food companies hire scientists to formulate food to create addictions to them so you'll be a repeat customer. Eric mentions "", which is an online membership where you can get coached in a low-carb lifestyle. Vinnie then asks Eric to discuss his book, "", written by him, Dr. Amy Berger, and others, and it has a cookbook that provides even more options. Vinnie and Eric have a lot to say about Dr. Tro Kalayjian and how his approach to patients is making great strides in actually healing people. (1:03:50) Vinnie thanks Dr. Westman for his participation in both FAT documentaries because they are helping save lives!

This episode of the Hormone Genius is on Ketogenic nutrition and health. This is a big topic and can elicit feelings regarding how to approach nutrition. Jamie and Teresa are very aware of this and hope that this will be more of an educational experience on why a KETO approach to nutrition even exists. Teresa has personal experience with living a Ketogenic lifestyle, as well as reasons why approaching nutrition and understanding how we burn energy is important to all peoples health. This is also not meant to explain how to actually live a keto lifestyle. This episode instead, is meant to improve your understanding of how KETO can be a tool used by some individuals with doctor counsel to improve health. For those of you who have struggled with weight, an eating disorder, or in general loving your body, we understand and want you to know that there is a pathway that is healthy and holistic for each one of you. See our previous episode on Body Image, https://soundcloud.com/thehormonegenius/ep-28-body-image-and-being-your-authentic-self. You deserve to love your body and we want to support all women in this journey. There is no one way to live a holistic lifestyle, nor one nutritional space that is all right, or all wrong. So, discern well and take this information if anything to increase your understanding of this scientific approach to health. Teresa does not proclaim to be a foremost expert on Ketogenics, but is passionate about empowering others to learn what she has, in regards to the science of energy burning. We have provided below resources for more learning more from trusted physicians and scientists.

Listen in today as Jimmy tackles a 2022 study confirming one benefit of a ketogenic way of eating. “You now have the option of using a low-carb ketogenic diet as an alternative to all the other things your doctor used to use.” - Jimmy Moore In this episode, Jimmy features a study that was published in the January 27, 2022 issue of the Journal of Behavioral Medicine entitled “Depressive symptoms improve over 2 years of type 2 diabetes treatment via a digital continuous remote care intervention focused on carbohydrate restriction.” This research is from Virta Health and features several familiar names in ketogenic research, including Dr. Stephen Phinney, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr. James McCarter, and others. As you may already know, Virta has been in the midst of an ongoing 5-year research looking intently at the impact of a low-carb, ketogenic diet on various parts of health. In this study they conducted a non-randomized, open label study of 262 Type 2 diabetes patients with obesity to see how well they responded to a list of depressive symptom markers with their intentional use of carbohydrate restriction. It's a fantastic study that shows yet another surprising benefit of being in a healthy state of nutritional ketosis.

Intermittent and extended water fasting has a great deal of momentum on the internet and I wanted to share with you some of the concepts to consider exploring in your life to gain the benefits associated with such strategies to improve your vitality and overall wellbeing. I share four books and authors that you can search on the internet and especiall youtube as they all have a stong presence on social media outlets. First some concepts Intermittent Fasting is Eating Less Often and giving your body a shorter window of consuming caloric foods and a longer period of rest and digest. An example would be to consume food and caloric beveraes within an 6, 8 or 10 hour period leaving 18, 16 or 14 hours for you digestive system to rest. Intermittent fasting is the beginning of Metabolic Rehabilitation to restore your metabolism to burn and efficiently utilize Ketones (a by product of burning fat) as a fuel source; especially prefered by the Brain and Heart Diet Variation: Once adapted to fat burning and utilizing Ketone we may want to mix up our diet variation with a fasting and feasting cycle. We may have an intermittent cycle of 6 hours of feeding and 18hours of fasting 3x per week, 2 feast days where we consume a little more carbohydrates of more protein and say two days of 1 meal only or a 24 hour fasting day. Remember this is an artistic practice and you can play around with this concept. Extended water fasting is ideally consuming water only for 3,5 , 7, or more days with 5 being scientifically accepted as the best amount of days to shoot for especially for beginners. Also, it would be wise to fat adapted before venturing into the extended water fast and therefore, practicing intermittent fasting for 5, 6 or more weeks. To help you know if you are becoming fat adapted it is necessary to measure blood glucose levels and ketone levels. I use a keto-mojo for this purpose. During my fast this week I measured BG -81 and Ketones - 3.0 with a Keto Index of 1,5 which is a deep state of autophagy or nutritional ketosis. Extended water fasting has three phases The preparatory phase - get you mind right, get your home and environment right and get your support right The fasting phase - listen to your body and mind. You may need to make some modifications so you can roll with this and not create a huge stressful event where you will yourself through it in pride. The goal is practice not perfection The post phase - very important as to not consume lots of food or carbohydrates or sugars! This could be a disaster leading you to be really sick. It is all about metabolic rehabilitation and down regulating leptin and insulin surges thus blood sugar control, increasing insulin sensitivity, down regulating inflammation, improving gut and immune system function, anti-aging, and numerous other benefits. If you find that you have difficulty with either intermittent fasting or extended water fasting consider you might have high levels of stored cellular toxicity. And this may need to be addressed along the way.

Today I have PETER DEFTY back on the show to talk about Optimal Fat Metabolism, VESPA …and we may start with the immune system (hot topic) as has A LOT to do with Metabolic Health! Who is Peter Defty? My name is Peter Defty and I am one of the pioneers in fat-adapted performance. This work, first on myself beginning in 2001, and subsequently with athletes I coached, eventually led to some stunning athletic performances all based upon optimizing fat metabolism. Because of the overwhelming bias toward carbohydrates as the necessary energy source for athletes & athletic performance these performances were dismissed as 'anecdotal' and ridiculed by the mainstream sports experts. This did not deter me because what I was personally experiencing coupled with what athletes I was working with were achieving told me fat adaptation was real. Humans are meant to metabolize fat as their primary aerobic energy source. In 2010 a friend suggested I contact Dr. Stephen Phinney after reading an article on him. This led to a meeting where I shared these results with Dr. Phinney who immediately stated not only were these results real but he was genuinely interested in learning more. It turned out Dr. Phinney had a keen interest in fat adapted performance and, like me, knew it offered much more than the dismissive attitude it was given by experts like Louise Burke and Chris Carmichael. “However, those at the coal-face of sports nutrition can delete fat loading and high-fat diets from their list of genuine ergogenic aids for conventional endurance and ultra-endurance sports.” - Louise Burke, PhD "To think carbs make you fat is wrong. You're fat because you're not exercising... Low-carb diets are exactly what you should not do if you're active...Carbs are the fuel that drives your life; suddenly everyone's forgotten this. If you're working out five days a week, you need a minimum 60 percent [daily caloric intake] of carbs a day.” -Chris Carmichael Peter and I chat today about a few important topics for training, fueling and performing as a Low Carb Athlete including: The 5 Paradigm-shifts of Fat Adaptation (OFM) - OFM Tips on Training to the low carb athlete- heart rate, steady state vs. run/walk Endurance training tips for the aging low carb athlete – improve mitochondria for longevity How does VESPA work for fueling the low carb athlete?

Jeff Browning is an ultrarunner who goes by the nickname of Bronco Billy. He has over 120 ultramarathons on his running resume. He has recently been listed by Utrarunning Magazine www.ultrarunning.com as one of the Top 10 Ultrarunners. Jeff is an ultrarunning coach. This is Episode 71 of the Mile after Mile Podcast. This is a slightly different type of interview because the focus of the interview is not a single extreme event. Jeff and I don’t just discuss one race we discuss his personal nutrition journey and how he has fueled his ultrarunning over the years. What is an ultramarathon? How did Jeff get his start in Ultrarunning? Why run a 100 mile race? Odds of getting into the Western States 100 www.wser.org Some nice things about Bend, Oregon where Jeff called home for several years. Balancing living in Montana and balancing running with marriage and family. Jeff and his wife’s nutrition journey. He has been a vegetarian, he has followed a whole-foods diet, nutrivore diets he has worked with a paleo diet and a low-carb high fat diet, keto optimized fat metabolism. Why Jeff says he is not a Keto-athlete and how he uses (and coaches) using strategic carbohydrates for performance. We talk specifics about how Jeff actually eats daily and leading up to and through an actual race. Specific issues Jeff has noticed while coaching women training for endurance events and a Keto or Low Carbohydrate diets.

Question: "How do you determine if you're getting enough protein? I heard Dr. Stephen Phinney say, for those on a keto diet, if ketones are greater than 3 on a regular basis, then it's a sign you're not getting enough protein." First of all, why are you on a ketogenic diet? If your purpose is to get the ketones, why wouldn't you want your ketones higher than 3? The ketogenic diet is, regardless of what people are doing it for, it's best tested in terms of epilepsy, and the classical ketogenic diet gets ketone levels up to 3 or 4 millimoles per liter… sometimes higher. Then the question is, you're not doing it for medical therapy, why are you doing it? If you're doing it to lose weight, who cares what your ketones are? There's a ton of people out there who are on a "ketogenic diet" who don't care what their ketones are because they're doing it for weight loss, for body composition, or to feel better. If those are what your goals are, your metrics should just be whether you're losing weight, whether you're getting better body composition, or whether you're feeling better. There's no data backing up the fact that you can measure your blood ketones and determine what any of those outcomes are going to be. That has nothing to do with why you need protein. Yes, too much protein is probably going to lower your ketones. Protein is anti-ketogenic. It's not as anti-ketogenic as carbs are, so I get the kernel of truth that Phinney is getting at. The higher your protein is, the lower your ketones are going to be, and maybe there's some general correlation to be seen across people that the people who tend to have ketones that high tend to not be eating enough protein, but that's a correlation that has nothing to do with the underlying reason of why you eat protein. You eat protein because you need protein to optimize your neurotransmitters, you need protein to optimize your metabolism, and you need protein to optimize your body composition. The number one metric that we have on protein intakes and quantifying them is on body composition, and you want a half a gram, to a gram of protein for every pound of target body weight. So, if you're trying to gain muscle, use what you want to have at the end of gaining muscle. If you are overweight, use what your ideal weight would be. And the more you care about your body composition, the more you should aim for the top of that range instead of the bottom. It doesn't matter if you're keto or not.

Public Speaker. Keto Consultant. Brain Tumor Survivor I have followed Josh for a little while now, I had heard briefly about him through my liking and following of the BMX scene, but I really learned about Josh through Keto. Once I started looking to Keto to solve my gut and metabolic issues I looked for other people doing the same and looked for people using it to treat other issues, I had no idea you could even live with brain tumors let alone treat them with diet. Anyway, this was a rad podcast, I was a little nervous as Josh is a cool dude and used to ride with Dave Mira, who is a hero of mine.....anyway I wish I could have chatted to him for longer, hope you enjoy. IB About Josh: After a third brain tumor diagnosis, Josh Perry left the comfort of a professional BMX career to harnesses the power of his incredible story and inspire others to foster new perspectives and take new action in their lives. Now as a health coach, keto advocate, and speaker, he is providing tools for mental strength, health & nutrition, manifestation, and business. Josh illustrates how challenges come in dierent shapes and sizes, yet for every problem there’s always a solution. He emphasizes that happy and successful people use the same mental tools to get them there, regardless of their past or current tribulations.

Episode Notes More than likely, you've heard about, tried, or know someone who's tried to a ketogenic diet, so we had to bring the science behind keto to HealthFormation! In today's episode, we chat with (newly licensed!) physician assistant, Andrea, about her experience with keto and we break down a meta analysis on longer-term outcomes of patients using this diet.As with all diets, there are healthy and less-healthy ways to follow a ketogenic diet. We break down the healthiest ways to follow keto and what health outcomes can be expected.Very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet v. low-fat diet for long-term weight loss: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.Keto resources discussed in today's episode include: Recipes (Keto and Paleo included) I Breathe I'm Hungry Dr. Stephen Phinney, blog Dr. Jeff Volek, Art and Science of Low Carb Dr. Eric Westman, YouTube
Why low-carb, high-fat eating is the healthiest kind and how to go about itWelcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science. Dietary researcher Dr. Jeff Volek lays out the science behind why you should declare your independence from dietary carbohydrates -- sugar, flour, starchy vegetables like potatoes, apple juice -- that cause the insulin secretion that puts on fat. Not only that, he explains why eating enough fat -- the right kind of fat -- is essential to getting and staying healthy.Dr. Michael Eades calls Dr. Volek's book (co-authored with Dr. Stephen Phinney) "the best low-carb book in print."Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. Pacific Time, 10-11 p.m. Eastern Time or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.Please buy my "science-help" book, "Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence.

Today’s podcast guest is Rachelle Martin, a nutritionist who specialises in low carbohydrate (carb) and ketogenic (Keto) diets. Rachelle and I studied our Masters in Human Nutrition at Deakin University together and she alludes to our many interesting discussions and debates during that time. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Rachelle; her attention to detail and depth of knowledge is apparent in the interview. Rachelle explains the difference between the Paleo and Keto diets, both of which are low carb diets but are significantly different in terms of the ratios of fats, proteins and carbs consumed. Given the current popularity of the diets with celebrities and the like, it can be tempting to lump them into the fad category. However, in relation to the Keto diet, Rachelle explains its scientifically documented anti-inflammatory effects and the numerous benefits that flow from that. In her nutritional practice Rachelle has seen weight loss, the reversal of Type 2 Diabetes, improvements in symptoms of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance. It is a fascinating area to be practising in.Following are links to some of the information Rachelle mentions during the interview:Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek, Co-Founders of Virta Health: https://blog.virtahealth.comDr. Tim Noakes, Founder of The Noakes Foundation: https://thenoakesfoundation.org/prof-noakesThe Magic Pill is available on Netflix.If you want to connect with Rachelle and you live in Adelaide, you can contact her at her office: Unley Park Nutrition - Telephone: (08) 8373 4944You can also connect with her via Instagram: @rachellemartin69

At the recent Physicians for Ancestral Health Winter Retreat I had the opportunity to sit down in person with L. Amber O’Hearn, an outspoken advocate of plant-free eating. Since learning about the zero-carb carnivore approach in 2009, Amber has become an international speaker, researcher, and writer on the subjects of ketosis and the health benefits of eating meat. In this podcast, Amber and I discuss her health journey from veganism to low carb, and then to the more radical carnivore diet. She explains how shunning plant foods led to a dramatic improvement in both her physical and mental health, ending her 20-year battle with bipolar disorder, without the use of medication. She also describes her own version of zero-carb and discusses how a carnivore diet affects ketosis.

Jeff Volek and Stephen Phinney are both academic researchers and professors who have been studying sports nutrition, ketogenic diets and peak performance for decades. To put it in perspective, Dr. Stephen Phinney (with his MD from Stanford and PhD from MIT) coined the phrase “keto-adapted” in 1980. Big Ideas we explore include: the accepted dogma (vs. compelling data), two fuel tanks (you want to go hours or days?), veto-adaptation (how to), protein (necessary but in moderation), fat (your most important fuel; the good and bad!), and the macro breakdown (here it is!).

Brad Kearns has been a noted speaker, author and coach in the health and fitness world for over two decades. During his nine-year career as a triathlete, he was one of the world's top-ranked professionals, amassing 30 wins worldwide on the pro circuit. Brad currently works with Mark Sisson from Mark’s Daily Apple, and the two have co-authored several books including Primal Endurance (2016), and The Keto Reset Diet (2017). Brad is with us today to talk about his evolution as an athlete and the factors that contributed to his success, including leaving the corporate world early on (because it just wasn’t as much fun as training) and the ironic breakthrough that caused him to start winning races. His current projects include producing Primal Blueprint Mastery Courses to support those transitioning to an ancestral diet and lifestyle.

Can fat be used as a fuel in world class athletic performance? How can you use science to yield actual results in sports while sifting through intellectual dishonesty and confirmation bias in nutrition studies? This hard hitting and extremely powerful podcast grounded in realism with what actually works while not being stuck in dogmatic thinking. Bio: Peter promotes fat adapted training and takes science and makes it happen.

Our Scientific Director Megan Hall (née Roberts) recently had some of the work from her Master’s degree published in the journal Cell Metabolism, which is seriously impressive. The paper appeared on Science Daily, and generally caused a bit of a stir in the low carb community.

Drew welcomes Dr. Eric Westman to the podcast to discuss the science behind the keto diet.

GM of VESPA, nutrition expert and ultra athlete Peter Defty is our special 2016 Low Carb USA guest speaker featured in Episode 1280 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.” Low Carb USA™ is an organization focused on dietary education and support by hosting scientific conferences, providing online coaching and mentoring, and legislative efforts. Low Carb USA™, founded in 2015, hosts educational public conferences at which scientists and doctors present their latest research findings into nutrition and the low-carb lifestyle. Online coaching and mentoring forums are offered to help people learn how to adopt this lifestyle and change their lives. A new initiative is also underway to support a unified coalition of communities advocating science based nutrition advice to influence the USDA to modify dietary guidelines using evidence-based research. For this effort, Low Carb USA™ is joining forces with journalist Nina Teicholz, author of the best-selling book The Big Fat Surprise and the Nutrition Coalition. In July of 2016, they brought together the world’s top medical and scientific minds on how nutrition can treat and prevent serious disease at the largest-ever low-carb conference. JOIN US IN SAN DIEGO, CA ON AUGUST 3-6, 2017 Listen in to hear various lectures from that conference on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” podcast all month long to give you a taste of what this event was all about. Today’s lecture is from Peter Defty, GM of VESPA, nutrition expert and ultra athlete who developed a safe, healthy approach to fat adaption for endurance athletes called “Optimized Fat Metabolism” (OFM). Peter got into running circa 2000, going from carb burner with poor results to a fat burner with success in racing. He’ competed in the Western States 100, among many other events, and also coaches ultra athletes on using fat as fuel (Timothy Olson, Nikki Kimball, Zach Bitter, etc). He works with guys like Stephen Phinney, Jeff Volek, etc., on refining this approach for success in life and racing. “Winning On Fate”. And if listening to these lectures gets you excited about attending the Low Carb USA conference coming up August 3-6, 2017 in San Diego California, then GET YOUR TICKETS NOW for this awesome event featuring lots of familiar names and maybe a few new ones as guest speakers who will share more of their knowledge for you to soak in.

Welcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science. Dietary researcher Dr. Jeff Volek lays out the science behind why you should declare your independence from dietary carbohydrates -- sugar, flour, starchy vegetables like potatoes, apple juice -- that cause the insulin secretion that puts on fat. Not only that, he explains why eating enough fat -- the right kind of fat -- is essential to getting and staying healthy.Dr. Michael Eades calls Dr. Volek's book (co-authored with Dr. Stephen Phinney) "the best low-carb book in print."Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. Pacific Time, 10-11 p.m. Eastern Time, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.Please buy my science-based and funny book, "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck." Buying a new (not used!) copy supports my work on this show and it makes a crackling-great gift. Watch my brand new TED talk here -- "The surprising self-interest in being kind to strangers."
"When you get intuitive with your body, you can be honest with yourself. That honesty and intuition really have to couple together and that will be your map to help you understand where your body is going."- Zach Bitter Join The Open Sky Fitness Podcast Group! That's right! We have a closed Open Sky Fitness Podcast group on Facebook where you and everyone have the opportunity to talk about your health and fitness goals in a safe environment. We post workouts and start discussions about how to be strategic around finding a healthier you. Check it out! A Short Guide: The New Year Big Gym Rush Before you listen to the interview with Ultrarunner, Coach, 100 Mile American Record Holder, and 12 Hour World Record Holder, Zach Bitter, Rob and Devon had another special guest on the podcast this week. CEO and owner of the Los Angeles StrengthRx CrossFit Gym, Justin Schollard, discussed with Rob and Devon about what to do when the big gym rush happens in January when the New Year Big Gym Rush happens across nation. Whether you're a veteran gym goer or you're just starting to go the gym, you may find the gyms to be over-crowded, a bit chaotic, and unsure of what to do in some situations. Read on to learn how we can all make the gym a great place to be for everyone. Make Your Gym a Comfortable Place for Everyone Meet New People & Create a Fitness Community You might feel intimated or uncomfortable when you start going to a gym. You're not sure how to use the equipment, people are lifting heavier weights or are faster at you on a cardio machine, you don't know what to focus on etc. The best way to get comfortable at the gym, is to meet new people. Join a class that interests you such as dance, cycling, or HIIT for example. That way, you get to know other members and trainers at the gym right away. At CrossFit gyms such as Strength Rx, you can automatically sign up to join small classes with only 12-20 people per session. That way, compared to joining a 24 hour gym where you're all on your own, you have the chance to get to know others and belong to a community of people with similar goals. If you are a veteran gym member, try to go out of you way to talk to new members. Even a simple 'hello' or smile will help people to feel welcome at the gym. Go In With a Plan A lot of people tend to wander aimlessly from one machine to the next without a real plan for the hour that they're at the gym. Instead of going to the gym with no idea what you're going to do, create a plan for yourself. Decide how many minutes of cardio you will do, if today is leg or arm day, how many reps you will do for each set etc. If you know exactly what you're going to do for your workout, you'll feel focused and confident.

Should you ask to cycle in or wait for someone to be done at a machine? Try to cycle in! You can easily make a new friend or workout buddy at the gym by cycling in with another person. It can be intimidating, but people are usually very friendly and will let you cycle in if you ask politely. If somebody is lifting way more than you, like 2-3 plates at the dead-lift for example, it's best to let them finish their set and use the equipment when they're done. Zach Bitter: The Life of an Ultrarunner Ever wondered what it was like to be and race as an Ultrarunner? This week, Rob interviewed Ultrarunner, Coach, 100 Mile American Record Holder, and 12 Hour World Record Holder, Zach Bitter. Find out how Zach got his start as an Ultrarunner, how to become fat-adaptive, and how Zach trains to compete in 100 mile races. Discover Your Fitness Zone "What I've found is that by just keeping your heart rate consistent, your body will experience enough stress so that it can adapt. But the body shouldn't receive so much stress that it need to spend so much time recovery from it." - Zach Bitter You don't have to go all out to build your body and get faster. If you stay at a comfortable, elevated heart rate, you can easily get into the fitness zone every time you work out. To discover your fitness zone, simply subtract your age from 180. For example, if you're 40, you're fitness zone heart rate is 180. 180 - your age = approximately your comfortable heart rate zone If you find yourself sprinting to stay at the heart rate or feel like you're just walking, tweak your speed until you find the heart rate that allows you to get a good workout in, but challenges you at the same time. Train for a 100 Mile Ultra Marathon Zach's advice for training and competing in a 100 Mile Ultra Marathon is to have a good time, but to also be prepared for it. To train for competing in a 100 mile race, you need to design a training program that focuses on the race profile. How elevated is the land? Will you run on flat ground, up hill, or down hill? What is the terrain like? Will you be in the woods, a desert, a field? Create a program that helps you to improve specific skills that will be necessary for your race. For example, Zach finds it difficult to run down hill so he'll train specifically to help his body prepare for running under that type of condition. Have a good time and enjoy the process. If you stress too much or go out to hard in practice or the race, it can be a recipe for an injury. Cross Training for Running Competitions Zach uses cross training as a means to help him strengthen any of his body's weak areas that need to be addressed such as the posterior chain. His cross training includes: Dead lifts Isolated hamstring exercises Back bridges Kettlebell swings Priming yoga Kinesthetics exercises How to Follow a Fat-Adaptive Nutrition How do you get fat adapted? We've been told for decades that fat is bad for us, so it can be strange for a person who has avoided fat for most of their life to suddenly begin to start eating it more often. According to Zach, it can take a 2-4 week period to become fat-adapted. During this time, it's best not to not stress out about your training. Take advantage of this time to focus on having a combined fitness and nutrition goal to re-program your body's recognition of fuel. When you follow a fat-adaptive nutrition guideline, you are convincing your body that it's main fuel is fat, not carbohydrates. Zach's Nutrition This is what Zach includes in his diet in order to be fat-adaptive: Breakfast Tea Coffee Coconut Milk Almond Milk Raw Honey Almond Coconut Oil Post Morning Workout/Lunch Eggs Bacon Stir fry Coconut milk smoothie with possibly: Berries Melons Sweet Potatoes Dinner Stir fry Vegetable based recipes Chicken Beef Fatty fish like Salmon Protein based meals Organ meats that are nutrient dense Non starchy vegetables: Spinach Peppers Beets Avocados Starchy vegetables on high carb days such as sweet potatoes Become a Fat-Adaptive Runner When you transition to being fat-adaptive, you don't have to stop workout out completely, but be honest with yourself. Go easy on yourself because you're body is going through a lot of stress by focusing on eating fats rather than carbs. Your body has to adapt to eating fat and adding exercise can put your stress too high. You'll notice your body changing when you feel tired and grumpy as you experience the "keto flu." After the switch, you'll feel a lot more energetic. Start Building Your Own Workouts and Meal Plan! Download Results Tracker here!

Welcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science. Dietary researcher Dr. Jeff Volek lays out the science behind why you should declare your independence from dietary carbohydrates -- sugar, flour, starchy vegetables like potatoes, apple juice -- that cause the insulin secretion that puts on fat. Not only that, he explains why eating enough fat -- the right kind of fat -- is essential to getting and staying healthy.Dr. Michael Eades calls Dr. Volek's book (co-authored with Dr. Stephen Phinney) "the best low-carb book in print."Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. Pacific Time, 10-11 p.m. Eastern Time, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.Please buy my science-based and funny book, "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck." Buying a new (not used!) copy supports my work on this show and it makes a crackling-great gift. Watch my brand new TED talk here -- "The surprising self-interest in being kind to strangers."
In this 9-minute podcast Zoe Harcombe asks whether dietary guidelines were based on evidence or whether there were other drivers. She summarises what was in the literature at the time the 1977 (US) and 1983 (UK) guidelines were created. Importantly, she highlights that food choices have major implications on the planet. The podcast was recorded in February 2015 – she was a keynote speaker at the Old Mutual 1st International Low Carb High Fat Health Summit 2015 hosted by Prof Tim Noakes & Karen Thomson (Cape Town). https://www.facebook.com/events/880528391966336/ There are plans for a future summit in London in 2016. BJSM senior associate editor Liam West (@Liam_West) led the BJSM team who attended the meeting – including Johann Windt and Ania Tarazi. BJSM has spaced out the recordings from that summit over 12 months and this is the last on the series from that event. Related podcasts were with Dr Stephen Phinney http://ow.ly/X70OP, Dr Jason Fung (http://ow.ly/X70AJ), Dr Aseem Malhotra http://ow.ly/X712D and Professor Timothy Noakes (http://ow.ly/X71rX). All have proven very popular. Timeline: 0m 30s: Why Zoe Harcombe (@ZoeHarcombe) challenges current dietary guidelines 3m 00s: What are the sensible food choices (according to the guest, of course)? 4m 40s: Challenges to supplying calorie-dense low carb foods for the world's population: “I don't know if we can feed 7-11 million people on animal based food, I don't know if we can't”. Grain requires topsoil and “we are raping the land of nutrients, topsoil, potentially destroying the planet's ability to house any food”. 5m 50s: Time to revisit the guidelines? 7m 00s: Training doctors – what training do doctors get?

Consider the classic understanding that high carbohydrate intakes are necessary for optimal endurance performance. What if that failed to take into account the physiological changes that occur with adaptation to low carbohydrate diets? In this podcast, @JohannWindt interviews physician-researcher Dr. Stephen Phinney about his last 30 years of research into low-carb ketogenic diets. Highlights include the previously undocumented levels of during exercise fat oxidation seen in endurance athletes adapted to a low carbohydrate diet. He also touches on ketogenic diets’ potential benefits in other sporting contexts, addresses common criticisms, and looks ahead to future research questions in the field.

Last night Pete and got to interview Donal Oniell from Cereal Killers movie fame. We loved both movies and CK2 'Run on Fat' makes it pretty damn clear what we have not only been talking about but living it for so long now. "The science is coming" but the athletes that are open and willing will be the ones reaping the rewards. I'm stoked we got to record this interview and help push this message out to the world for athletes and non athletes alike. Performance is important ... but not as important as your health. Why not attain both? In Today’s Episode We Cover: Overweight Endurance athletes. The Science is Coming. Ketones. Breaking records. The NEED for this mineral. Health and Performance can it be achieved or are just bad bed fellows. You cannot out train a shitty diet. The rise of the Pemmican. Donals daily diet and his favourite dish. What's next for Donal Oniell. And oh so much more. Show Links: Cereal Killers 2 - Run on Fat Cereal Killers 2 Run on Fat charts world class triathlete Sami Inkinen’s transition from pre-diabetic sugar burner to a faster, healthier, fat fueled endurance athlete under the guidance of New York Times bestselling author Dr Stephen Phinney. When Sami embarks on an epic anti sugar crusade with his wife Meredith – rowing 4,000 kms unsupported from California to Hawaii – their remarkable journey reveals the astonishing performance benefits and pitfalls of successful fat fueling strategies for athletic performance. As more and more evidence emerges of world class athletes adopting a similar protocol – with remarkable results in some cases – “Run on Fat” challenges the very foundations of sports nutrition. Cereal Killers 1 Cereal Killers The film follows Donal – a lean, fit, seemingly healthy 41 year old man – on a quest to hack his genes and drop dead healthy by avoiding the heart disease and diabetes that has afflicted his family. Donal’s father Kevin, an Irish gaelic football star from the 1960s, won the first of 2 All Ireland Championships with the Down Senior Football Team in 1960 before the biggest crowd (94,000) ever seen at an Irish sporting event. When Kevin suffered a heart attack later in life, family and friends were shocked. How does a lean, fit and seemingly healthy man – who has sailed through cardiac stress tests – suddenly fall victim to heart disease?

We’ve all run into those times during our healthy low-carb lifestyle when the weight loss just doesn’t want to cooperate with us despite doing everything the same as we always have when weight loss has happened before. You might be asking yourself what the heck is going on and what am I doing wrong? Has anybody ever felt that way before? Are you even living this in your own life RIGHT NOW? This week’s expert guest is here to help you circumnavigate through what might be happening to help you get on the right track again. He is low-carbohydrate diet researcher Dr. Stephen Phinney, the co-author of the 2010 New York Times bestselling book in 2011 and in 2012.

No carb counting, no cooking.Enter “LLVLC” at checkout for 25% off!NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Here are some of the questions we addressed in this podcast: ELISABETH FROM SWEDEN ASKS:Hi Dr. Phinney, I live in Sweden and I follow the LCHF diet (low-carb high-fat). I’m a 5’10″ tall female and weigh 195 pounds. I am hypothyroid and am taking 25 mg Levaxin. For exercise, I perform high intensity training (boxing), workout at the gym, and running about 10-12 hours/week. I’d like to lose another 25 pounds so I can perform better at my sports activities, but I’ve always had a really hard time losing weight even on 1000 calories/day. My current macronutrient ratios have been about 80% fat, 16-20% protein and 1-4% carbs–in other words very ketogenic. In the beginning I felt very good because all my cravings went away and I felt good mentally. After being faithfully ketogenic for the past five months I have: a. Gained 18 pounds while consuming 2000-2500 calories a dayb. My TSH level increased 50%c. I lack energy, am fatigued and experience an elevated heart rate during workoutsd. I’m having difficulty falling asleep If this really the optimal diet for everyone? Whenever I consume some carbohydrates one hour before my workouts my performance seems to get better. Maybe I should be eating more carbs and slightly less fat but I know I’ll be starving doing that. I just want to be at a healthy weight and feel good during my workouts. Any advice? JIMMY ASKS:I’ve been off and on low-carb diets for many years and keep trying to lose my gut. But whenever I return to low-carb again I tend to lose weight quickly in about month which is great. But after about another month or so I tend to return to my old eating patterns and put on even more weight–and so the cycle continues. When I first started low-carbing I was about 40 years old and now I’m 62 and 224 pounds on my 5’10″ body. Do you think I should start from scratch with two weeks of a well-formulated low-carb ketogenic diet? But then what? JOSH ASKS:Have you seen any successful methods for women wanting to lose weight in their abdomen after multiple pregnancies? Is a temporary or permanent change in their diet and exercise routine necessary to return to a normal weight again? CAROL ASKS:I’m a 5′ tall, 60-year old woman and in the past two years I have lost 50 pounds–25 on Weight Watchers and when that stopped working, Atkins for the last 25 pounds. I still have about 15-20 pounds to reach my goal and I’ve been hovering at around 134 pounds for the past six months. I can’t seem to get past this point. I’ve tried the Atkins Fat Fast, counting total carbohydrates, avoiding sugar alcohols, gave up wine and even limited calories to 1200 daily–all to no avail. To say I’m frustrated is an understatement. Would going even lower than 25g carbs a day be worth trying? MATT ASKS:I have been eating Paleo/low-carb for about 2 years after I found CrossFit. About eight months into my new way of eating, my CrossFit coaches encouraged me to reintroduce 16 ounces of milk and sweet potatoes post-workout. That was the end of my weight loss. My average daily intake consists of about 60-80g fat, less than 100g carb and 150g protein a day. I am very consistent with my meals. Breakfast is either eggs and a fruit or a protein drink with almond milk, lunch most of the time is a chicken breast and spinach, dinner is a meat and veggie. I do not use any form of sugar or substitutes and I get an average of 8 hours of sleep a night. Any thoughts? ELLEN ASKS:My question pertains to tweaking the low-carb diet to work for a complete and total screwed up enigma…me! I’m a 44-year old woman in good overall health and taking no medications. I have struggled with my weight all my life and have seen success following the Richard Simmons Deal-A-Meal and Weight Watchers plans in the past. At the age of 35, I decided to become an amateur bodybuilder over a four-year period that had me on a calorie-restricted, high-protein, low-carb, zero fat diet. My coach put me on fat burners, diuretics and low-dose anabolic drugs for short periods of time. This was the biggest mistake of my life! I actually started gaining weight despite keeping calories very low and exercising excessively. I finally wised up and quit this insanity but now I’m 195 pounds on my 5’6″ body. I’m fairly muscular because of my weight training, but no amount of dieting helps me lose weight. I’ve tried raising calories, lowering calories, carb cycling, ketogenic…you name it. I am currently on a low-carb Paleo plan and I’ve also played around with various types and intensities of exercise. I feel generally well with good energy levels. But I’m afraid I’ve messed up my body forever. I refuse to give up, but I desperately need your help! BARB ASKS:I understand that the body can and will make its own glucose if necessary. Is it correct to assume that the body will only make as much glucose as it needs or will it make an excessive amount of glucose if too much protein is consumed? Or will it only make as much glucose as is needed and convert the rest of the excess protein into fat? I have been told by my personal trainer that our bodies have a difficult time converting protein to fat. Is that true? LAURA ASKS:I am a 33 year-old female with Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto’s with normal thyroid panels. For the past two years I have followed a very low-carb diet as per Dr. Richard Bernstein’s recommendations in his book Diabetes Solution. My days my carb intakes stays at 30g or less and I believe my diet is ketogenic because I’m not eating more than moderate levels of protein. But in two years of low-carb eating, my weight has not changed at all and my body composition has not seemed to change either. I follow this way of eating due to the excellent diabetes control that it provides me. But I am surprised and a little bit frustrated that I have not lost any weight. I am not excessively overweight by any means but could afford to probably lose 10 pounds or so to be at a healthier weight. I recognize that body composition is a better way of measuring a healthy weight, but something’s gotta give. I walk quite a bit every single day as I live in a city but I have found it hard to find a routine that doesn’t adversely affect the stability of my blood sugar levels. I eat to satiety with a variety of low-carb vegetables, fattier cuts of meat, eggs, etc. What might the culprit in my weight loss struggles be? Is it due to excessive calories because of my high dietary fat intake? I have never lost a single pound following a low-carb diet. MIRIAM ASKS:What other approaches would you suggest for obese people who do not seem to lose any weight despite keeping calories low along with their high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb diet with regular exercise? What other biological factors besides insulin resistance can prevent weight loss from happening? SHIRLEY ASKS:Is it better to split up your protein intake on a low-carb over several meals throughout the day to prevent gluconeogenesis from creating too much glucose in the body that could stall weight loss? EJA ASKS:I eat a handful each of almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts, flax seeds and Brazil nuts everyday. I’m trying to lose about 10 pounds and I eat a super-clean Paleo diet with zero processed food or anything with a label. Just protein, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds. But although I eat clean, my weight loss is completely stalled. Do you think I should totally give up the nuts and fruit as I’m sure I’m eating way too many calories and carbs a day from them. Is there anything in nuts and fruit that I really need that I can’t get elsewhere in my diet? ANNE ASKS:My husband and I have been on low-carb for the past six weeks, but we’re not seeing any good results so far. I have lost 160 pounds with Weight Watchers in the past, but I gained 70 pounds back putting me at 220 pounds for a 5’5″ tall, 55-year old woman. My husband is currently 200 pounds at 5’8″ tall and 59 years old. We both are consuming 20g carbohydrates or less daily, so I’m thinking calories must be too high although I certainly don’t feel like I’m overeating. Is there a range of calories we should be striving for? BARBRA ASKS:I’m a 50-year old woman (5’8” and 215 pounds) who has been on the low-carb lifestyle for over a decade. I started gaining weight in 2007 and put on 65 pounds by 2011 even on a very low-carb diet. I was recently diagnosed with T2 diabetes and started Metformin twice a day. I read a study last year that stated eating a 600 calorie low-carb diet could reverse diabetes, so I came up with a modified version of it for me that amounted to consuming 800 calories/day before returning to my 1400-1800 calorie low-carb plan again. I lost 31 pounds over a 10-week period and my blood sugars returned to normal for about 3 weeks after doing this. But then my weight started creeping up again and I’ve since gained back half of the weight I had lost. When I was on the 800-calorie diet, I noticed I had to keep my protein under 60 grams a day, so I’m wondering if it’s not just the carbs, but also the protein that is causing the problems for me. I’d like to think I can live on more than 800 calories a day for the rest of my life, so any solution you might have for me would be appreciated. FORTUNE ASKS:I have a question that pertains to the ladies. I seem to stall out two weeks a month due to hormones and then lose weight for only two weeks. This is quite frustrating! What can I do to kick my ketone levels up higher so I can lose weight more steadily even through my menstrual cycle? Or is it natural for women to get kicked out of ketosis during this time that will obviously stall their weight loss progress? LJ ASKS:If you’re eating a well-formulated low-carb diet where carbohydrates are less than 20g, protein is 85g or less and fat consists of at least 65% of calories, how is it possible to experience voracious hunger? I’ve been stalled out eating this way for nearly a year and perhaps I’m eating way too many calories. I’ve tried increasing or decreasing each of the three macronutrients at different times for at least two weeks at a time to see what works. For me, increasing protein seems to work best but it is temporary in keeping my hunger under control. Nothing seems to help for more than a week or two before the hunger bug comes on with a vengeance. This hunger is overwhelming unless I eat a LOT of food–upwards of 2500-3000 calories per day with at least 130g coming from protein. But this level of eating prevents me from losing weight. Calorie restriction means unbearable hunger for me and that’s absolutely unsustainable. The ketogenic recipe for blunting hunger and natural calorie control doesn’t seem to work for me. I know I’m not alone in this. What do you suggest for people like me? JOSH ASKS:Do higher levels of ketosis mean you will experience more rapid weight loss? I’ve been measuring my blood ketones and wondered if readings over 2.0 millimolar meant that I was in the ideal range for optimal fat loss. CATHY ASKS:I am a postmenopausal woman who lost 55 pounds in one year on the Atkins diet. I still have another 50 pounds to lose as I am still classified as obese. Unfortunately, I’ve been in a holding pattern for nearly two years despite attempting several strategies including the leptin reset, intermittent fasting, the Atkins fat fast, calorie cycling and most recently decreasing protein and upping my dietary fat intake. I walk everyday for exercise and I’ve actually regained about six pounds in the past 6 months. It’s obvious I’m still producing too much insulin in my body. What can I do to get better control of this besides a high-fat, adequate protein, low-carb nutritional approach. I think I may have morphed into a Zucker rat. AMBERLY ASKS:I have heard from people in the Paleo community that a very low-carb diet can possibly interfere with thyroid function and/or stress the adrenals which may be a culprit in preventing weight loss from happening. Are you aware of any scientific evidence that supports or refutes this claim? AVIV ASKS:I’m a competitive bike racer and putting on a few extra pounds led me start on a low-carb Paleo diet. I made the mistake of eating a lot of the “safe starches” with my high-fat intake and quickly gained 15-20 pounds. Needless to say, I stopped racing and started examining nutrition more closely. Through the work of Dr. Peter Attia, I found your books and immediately started following a ketogenic diet. But I’ve been having trouble getting into ketosis over the past 3-4 months and I find it hard to understand why I’m gaining weight or not losing on such a well-formulated low-carb diet. Maybe my body needs more time to adapt to this way of eating, but it looks like it will preferentially store fat from the diet rather than burn it. Despite this, I do believe becoming keto-adapted is the natural way for humans to live. Should I just hang in there eating this way to give my body more time to adjust and let the weight come down eventually? And what about using intermittent fasting to help kickstart the weight loss? It seems to be quite easy and natural to do when you eat a ketogenic diet. CHRISTI ASKS:Have you seen any correlation between high blood ketone levels, normal blood sugar levels and weight loss? Also, what amount of protein is considered too little? What signs or symptoms should you look for? Finally, is it possible to eat too much dietary fat while on a ketogenic low-carb diet? Thanks for answering my questions! SUZANNE ASKS:I am a relatively new convert to low-carb after having spent the last 25 years of my life as a low-fat, high-carb eating running machine. I converted to a low-carb diet 8 months ago because I’m a 52-year old woman who has seen my weight “creep up” slowly but surely mostly in my thighs and buttocks with the same amount of exercise in recent years. I am convinced I am one of those people who has a love/hate relationship with carbs and I cannot believe how much better I feel following a low-carb lifestyle. My question is this: how much do you think peri-menopause and the hormonal changes that go with that play a part in fat gain? Everything I’ve heard says the LAST thing a woman at this stage in her life should do is diet since the fat cells are genetically programmed to hang on to their fat in order to manufacture more estrogen to replace that which is not coming from the ovaries anymore. Am I on the right track in following the low-carb lifestyle in order to lose the 10 extra pounds I have put on? WOODROW ASKS:Hey Dr. Phinney, I’ve read both of your “Art And Science” books and many others and I would love some clarification on how easy it is to lose keto-adaption and switch from fat burning to sugar burning. If you have a cheat day or a higher carb meal such as a pizza and a couple of beers for example weekly, will that take you out of keto-adaption and cause you to start over for 2-4 weeks every time you do it? How perfect do you need to be with carb intake to stay keto-adapted? DANA ASKS:Does the body tend to want to be a certain weight? I am 24-year old female and slightly overweight. Even though I have lost a significant amount of weight before, I always seem to return to the initial weight that I started out with. I have been eating Paleo and low-carb between 50-100g daily but have not been ketogenic. Is it possible to reprogram the body to be comfortable at a new weight and make it stop trying to gain back the pounds? NANCY ASKS:I’m a 5’8″ tall, 54-year old, 172-pound menopausal woman and a long-term failure at low-carb dieting. I have been doing some form of low-carb diet plan for more than seven years and I’m completely stalled at a good 20-30 pounds above my goal. The only way I’ve been able to lose weight was doing the hCG protocol, but I couldn’t maintain the loss even on strict low-carb. I have no functioning thyroid and take 1.5 grains of Armour thyroid. My hypothyroid is under control and my labs look good. My current eating plan has been to maintain nutritional ketosis for five days and then two days of semi-fasting low-carbing a week down to 500 calories. I’d been doing a rotation of calorie up days with those semi-fasting days as well, but even that hasn’t led to weight loss beyond a couple of pounds. This seems to be a frequent issue for older woman on the low-carb forum I visit, so any advice will be shared with others in my situation. Calories on my eating days fall around 1800-2000. Protein ranges from 70-100g. Net carbs after subtracting fiber are usually around 20-30g. CATHY ASKS:I’m a 5’7″ tall, 49-year old woman who currently weighs 194 pounds. I’ve had low iron levels for 12 years and was recently diagnosed with iron deficient anemia. I’ve been on a low-carb diet for 1 1/2 years and haven’t lost more than a few pounds during that time. I’m pretty strict as far as my low-carb diet goes. We raise our own grass-finished cows, chickens and I eat tons of butter and other sources of fat. Do you think my iron problems have anything to do with my problem losing weight? JOLYN ASKS:I’m a 350-pound, 63-year old female with Type 2 diabetes taking insulin once a day. Low-carb dieting alone doesn’t work for me anymore. As long as I stay very low-carb, I can maintain my weight but I don’t lose. Lately I’ve been examining the idea of a high-fat, low-carb plan. But I’ve also been hearing about Dr. Jack Kruse’s Leptin Reset plan in which you start out each day with a breakfast of 50 to 75 grams of protein within a half-hour of waking. I have thought about perhaps starting with his plan and then after six weeks transition to high-fat, low-carb. What added benefits would I get from just going on your high-fat, moderate protein, low-carb approach compared to this other plan? KAREN ASKS:Is it possible that after being on a low-carb lifestyle for several years that your body can become resistant to weight loss? I’m consistently in ketosis according to the urine test sticks but I only experience very, very moderate weight loss. When I followed this lifestyle several years ago, I lost 30 pounds. But it has slowly come back on my body. I read your book The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance and increased my fat intake to 80% of calories, protein 11%/carbohydrates 8%. But so far I’ve only seen very modest weight loss. I’m concerned that I’m eating too much fat for my body to burn its own fat stores. I am very discouraged and wish I could just find a doctor who could help me. But I don’t know of any local physicians that would encourage a low-carb lifestyle. Does your body become resistant after awhile making it necessary to reduce dietary fat intake in order to see fat loss happen? SANDRA ASKS:Do you have any suggestions for women in the midst of hot flash season during menopause with rebooting weight loss? I have plateaued many times with the last one being five weeks long. I have been trying to lose 80 pounds since February 2012 and have only lost a little over 25 pounds so far. JILL ASKS:I’m a 53-year-old menopausal women who has recently found that eating low-carb is not working as well for me as it previously has. It started earlier this summer when I noticed that although my weight has been remaining fairly stable, I am actually adding body fat around my belly and back. I’ve been lucky my whole life to have been thin and active but noticed as I got in my upper 40s that I was putting on weight. Several years ago, I tried the South Beach diet after a friend had success on Atkins (I was too afraid of eating that much fat to try it). I lost 16 pounds on South Beach and was able to keep it off for a while. Then I read books by Gary Taubes and changed my eating to more of what he suggested. I am now eating the cleanest diet I’ve ever consumed in my life but my body is not responding the way it used to. Is this just the way it is when you get older? Filed Under: , , ,
