I listen to your TED presentation often. It is an inspiration. I had a heart attack 1 1/2 years ago. I began the LCHF lifestyle 10 months ago. Dropped 25 lbs. in the first 2 months. Triglycerides dropped to 57, HDL went up to 79, LDL went up to 121. My tg/HDL ratio is now .74 indicating that my particle size is large (good). NMR results,,,spectacular. A1c,,,,5.7. Dropped the Lipitor, Januvia and Glipizide. My doctor's head was spinning when I told him I had these results being off of these drugs for 3 months. Thank you so much for your help.

Love your videos - Lots of Great info . Subbed/liked The more I learn about Lchf the better I like it :) My Dr. fought me tooth & nail when I started Lchf a year ago - Yes she is a woman LOL When she would contradict me , I would come back with what I had researched . Most time's she would shake her head & say I'm going by the guidelines of what I studied that's my job ... After roughly 6 months with losing weight , BP, insulin dropping , she was amazed . When it came time for yearly blood work , I held my breath & crossed my fingers . Wish I could of took a pic. of her face - she smiled , leaned over close to me & said "Good Job I wish my other patients would be like you". Taking control of their health ! My cholesterol numbers were all in normal ranges , before starting Lchf she was mentioning statins . Strange in away , cause I walked out feeling like she thought she helped me ....

My doctor is the same way! In truth, I suppose they did help us. They were willing to prescribe meds and keep seeing us over and over as our health struggles continued. They also kept after us, bugging us about adding meds, losing weight, keeping the issues at the for front. I got tired of my doctor pushing meds. The last straw was another statin RX. I tried it before but it caused major joint pain and my hunger was off the charts. I was determined to control high cholesterol, blood sugar and BP with my diet. I told him I didn't want the drug and that I wanted to try making diet changes first. He looked skeptical. I hope he has the same look your doctor gave you when I show him what I've accomplished in such a short time. I've lost 30 lbs eating LCHF, I'm off the BP meds and will shortly be off the blood sugar meds. The jury is still out on the cholesterol as I need to go in and have new blood work. It's been about 3 mos since I started this WOE. Kudos to you on your successful journey!

sharpie. nails No worries. I agree, we do want to change, but they're not teaching us about food, body types, why certain diets work for others but not all, insulin resistance, cholesterol, etc. they just want us to stay ignorant and toss more drugs at us. Drugs will not fix, just add a bandaid over the problem. Thankfully you and I were smart enough to breakout of that cycle, learn what's best for our health and follow through with it. It's clear the doctors were not going to help. Then complimenting after the fact and trying to take the credit. SMH.🤔

CVD biomarkers should always improve with weight loss (although not always on a keto diet). Do you have ANY data to show that a LCHF/keto diet improves biomarkers (or doesn’t worsen) in HEALTHY, LEAN people? (Other than blood glucose as this will obviously be low if not consuming any carbohydrates/sugar).

+You don't need to know She used a recording device, probably an camera that had an embedded mic in in it. That is why she has such annoying echo. It is a common mistake that reduces her reach. The video can be very poor if the audio is very good. All she has to do is use an external microphone that is connected to the camera yet closer to here mouth and it would eliminate the echo which would improve her video production greatly. Better videos = more listeners.

Hi Dr. Hallberg, I am studying to be a dietitian and am conflicted with some of the compelling arguments from your clinical success and that of Dr. Esselstyn. How does the LCHF diet compare with the soft end point data obtained from the whole foods plant-based diet in regards to CVD? How is it that we can get the same results (like reversing type II DM) where one patient is consuming most of his calories from fats and another is almost completely avoiding fat and consuming most of his calories from carbs?

+Ruthie Lenz By eating high fat you restrict insulin production which interns stops the body from storing energy. When the body has no access to out side energy it goes into ketosis and starts burning your fat storage. Where as a whole plant based diet you lose weight because your not eating the calorie dense foods anymore. Just by cutting out calorie dense food whether it be from added fats or sugars you will lose weight. On a LFHC diet you get to eat more then twice the volume on food as appose to a HFLC diet.

Weight loss in and of itself will help with blood glucose and many other biomarkers of health. But there are many unhealthy ways to lose weight, whilst still seeing an improvement in some biomarkers. A LCHF diet should, of course, see reductions in blood glucose but this is simply because you have eliminated carbs/glucose. You are not treating the CAUSE, which is insulin resistance. Any studies on LCHF in already HEALTHY, LEAN people (I.e. no weight loss) see WORSENING of such biomarkers. A WFPBD will see improvements in more or less ALL biomarkers even WITHOUT weight loss. BTW I don’t think people should cut out poly and mono unsaturated fats but SHOULD cut out saturated and trans fats!! The only thing to be careful with regarding fats is their calorie density.

There are vegan LCHF diets, why anyone would want to go on one is beyond me as whole food vegans are the only dietary group with a BMI that doesn't fall into the overweight/obese range and have the lowest type II diabetes rates. Dr. Greger didn't change his own diet until the evidence of the benefits of a plant based diet were overwhelming.

I am on LCHF diet for 2 months and have dropped 30+ lbs. I stopped my diabetic and statin meds because I was becoming hypoglycemic and the fact that its a LCHF diet taking statins didn't make a lot of sense to me. Recent bloodwork showed a1c of 6.0. But regular hometests are at 5.2mmol. However though I feel great physically my lipid panel does not reflect the gains. Triglycerides are up, HDL is higher but so is LDL. Internist wants me to resume statins. But my thought is could this increase be temporary? I feel I still need to lose about 30lbs more. Would it be a good idea then to go back on statins while I work on getting down to lose 30 more lbs? I currently have 100% block on RCA, but still able to tolerate excellently HIIT and strength training.

But we do have some hard endpoint data on the low fat diet. The studies are small but the results are overwhelming. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's patients with major serious heart disease, having failed bypasses, and given less than a year prognosis, got well and reversed their heart disease if they adhered to the diet, and most of them did. Some who were given less than a year had failed bypasses involving multple arteries, and are walking around 20 years later in normal health. His studies involved first a very small group of about 18 people whose recoveries were stable and miraculous. He then did a larger study over 5 years or more, with about 200 people, and got less than 1 percent further coronary events on those adhering to the low fat plant-based diet. And it was about 180 who adhered to it. The ones who did not adhere, got 66 percent further 'hard endpoint' attacks, worsened angina, deaths, bypasses, etc. It is probable the ones who didn't adhere added fats to their diets when abandoning his prescribed diet.

bobluhrs Funny how you didn’t get a reply! I have yet to see ANY studies that show improvements in biomarkers in HEALTHY, LEAN people who adopt a keto diet. The only studies that keto proponents refer to are interventions with OBESE, SICK people. Any limited improvements in biomarkers from a LCHF diet are simply down to the weight loss. When weight loss eventually plateaus, LDL cholesterol and other markers will shoot through the roof (if they hadn’t already!!).

Dr.Sarah, I have heard lots of times that there is no link between cholesterol and heart disease, and even maybe that people with high cholesterol have less chance of dying from it. If this is true, why are we bothered with LDL. can you explain please?

Because it is to do with LDL partical size, only harmful when it oxidizes and is small LDL. Large LDL size is harmless AND it is a made up number, a guess in labs.

G'day Dr Hallberg from Australia! Thanks so much for this video. I hadn't heard of LCHF diet before November (except for Paleo, which was given a bad wrap). I'm looking into the dietdoctor.com and LCHF diet seriously now as it seems very beneficial in many ways. Can you confirm that a LCHF diet (including use of saturated fats) is safe for people like me that have high lp(a)? Are there any studies on LCHF in re to Lp(a) that you can link to? God bless :-)

Lucille Femine I do LCHF vegetarian. I gained 20lbs in the first month, then lost it all and more in month 2 once I was fat adapted. I realized after trouble shooting that I had gained weight because I was making some common low carb diet mistakes. I'm thinking you're probably making them, too. 1. How much potassium are you getting per day? I started adding half an avocado to my meals and I felt world's better in about 2 days. You can also make homemade LCHF shakes using avocados and coconut cream. Add a pinch of salt substitute and you're sure to get your potassium levels up. 2. What about magnesium? I take a liquid supplement every night before bed. It ended my insomnia on LCHF. 3. What about sodium? I add around 1/2 tsp salt to every meal. You need salt to retain water now that you've removed carbs from the equation (which are what normally retain your water). 4. Are you drinking enough water? I need around a gallon just to feel human every day. 5. Finally, are you getting enough fats? Maybe add in 10 or so nuts to every meal or a tablespoon of a healthy fat like hemp oil. These are the places I'd look to troubleshoot first....

Also lchf created severe health problems that scared the life out of me. And I seriously doubt that atherosclerosis halts entirely because of sugars absence.
