Great video. I'm an online coach and a qualified phlebotomist. I have one client 21 years a carnivore and many over 2 years. One thing I'll say when looking at bloods is that the hBa1c changes in a good way but eventually creeps up but I believe this is because the RBC survive longer and throw out the calculation. I believe this must be true because those patients also have a CGM and their daily BG readings are great, therefore the hBa1c starts to not reflect their actual observed daily BG levels. Also the eGFR is not a great calculation for this way of eating due to the higher than normal creatinine. I believe a cystatin C test is more reflective of your kidney status

Before I take any side on this debate, I'd want to see an actual debate about it. There are many carnivore and animal-based doctors, nutritionists, researchers, etc. And some of them are very well informed about the research, bloodwork, and much else. I'd want to hear multiple takes on these kinds of issues. But it seems a bit early in the game to come to strong conclusions. There are many uncertainties, complications, and confounders. Why would OMAD or other time-restricted, particularly as feasting and fasting, be unhealthy when it's been a standard practice of hunter-gatherers and probably has been within the normal range of eating patterns for hominids going back millions of years? When an animal was killed, people in the past often gorged on it. Hunter-gatherers typically don't save food and eat everything at once, even sometimes to the point of their stomachs being distended, followed by long periods of rest. We need to be understanding this in both a physiological sense and an evolutionary framework. If some carnivores and meat-heavy eaters are having some concerning numbers in their bloodwork, either something is likely interfering with normal health or our understanding of the data is completely wrong. But, of course, we are dealing with people who often spent decades eating SAD before becoming carnivore or whatever. How diet affects them might not be how it would affect a hunter-gatherer who has always eaten that way.

While what you state about our ancestors are probably true and proven to some degree, the thing is modern human doesn't live as a hunter gatherer. Such amount of food at once is a stressor to the body and modern humans have much more stress factors that our ancestors didn't have. All these are very interesting for researchers but noone has proven yet that feasting and fasting or similar fasting tools application in everyday western life is optimal.

As you said, imagine that they broke down their food throughout the day into separate meals, then imagine that they eat only one of those meals excluding the rest of the meals for the day, would they have the same results as the OMAD type of feeding? What are we assuming here, that there is only a certain amount of calories that the body can tolerate in one feeding?

We are beautiful complex creatures us women. I have listened and viewed many discussions on this topic of ageing and protein requirements also and from different sources. My opinion is we should be intuitive (and relaxed, as in, not stressed) with our meat consumption and eat to satiety and be aware of the stage or phase we are in or at with our age, our body composition, our life routine, all the things that contribute to who we are in the world as we live life. There are recommendations for grams of protein per kilo body weight and even these have qualifiers as to gender and activity (energy) needs of the body. A good doctor, a good health coach, a good dietician can all make the team in supporting you discover what you want to know or learn so that you feel you have control and informed choice. I also prioritise my protein but I never force myself to eat a certain amount or meet a specific measurement. Sometimes I eat less and sometimes I eat more. It really depends on how hungry do I feel?

He said he doesn't recommend daily fasting windows of longer than 12 hours (the average time it takes to digest all of a day's food intake) bcz he has seen so many with longer fasting windows who developed gall bladder problems, often severe enough to need removal. He, himself, eats on a 12 hrs fast-12-hrs eating window schedule.for this reason. And he considers this 12-12 schedule optimal as long as one also does a 5-day water fast (or a version of his FMD) once or twice a year (if generally healthy, or more frequently if trying to heal from some condition). I took this info w a grain of salt at the time bcz I haven't heard anyone else talking about gall bladder problems from IF; however, when I read that you are experiencing gall bladder pain, I thought maybe you might want to know this.

I really think the main issue is that people are eating proteins without saturated fats. The standard nowadays is some lean meat with some olive oil(monounsaturated fat) on their salad. I read some years ago about some researches made by an anthropologist(I have to look for his name) and when fed the subjects with lean meat they have these problems(uric acid buildup, gout ,some sort of skin problems(rashes)).It was linked with rabbit starvation and some kind of protein poisoning. Eating lean meat(it is so easy to go for lean meat without noticing) for long time without the protection of saturated fats is leading on long term to this kind of issues. Using only monounsaturated fats as primary source of fat is not enough. Cells membranes are made from saturated fat ,monounsaturated fat and a small percentage of PUFA. Maintaining the correct balance of fats in the body is very important. Animal fat composition (humans have similar) is 38-43% saturated fat,47-50%MUFA and 6-10% PUFA. Replacing saturated fats produced by a carbohydrate metabolism with saturated fats produced via protein metabolism (only)is coming with costs. Proteins should never ,ever be eaten without associated saturated fats. We knew that for more than 30 years ago and still refuse to do just that. That is my observation of many years. The culture against saturated fat is too strong and people try to live their lives in both worlds.

Yet these are some of the healthiest populations on the planet. So, we're obviously missing something, if long-term carnivores in industrial societies are having problems with OMAD and 2MAD. You might be right. It's saturated fat that could be missing. Many people advocate higher protein diets with lower fat, but that might be the exact problem. Even adding in other fats like MUFAs and PUFAs, if you're correct, wouldn't help.

@@MarmaladeINFP We knew for many years that saturated fats are more chemically stable than other fats.

SFA don't react with other molecules, don't oxidize easily .Neither acids nor bases, alcohols, amines, alkali metals or transition metals can break such a chain. By contrast, an unsaturated bond is much more chemically active, and is much more readily oxidized in the body. We also knew for many years that PUFA oxidize easily(causing so called free radicals when combined with oxygen) and when build up in the skin can cause inflammation (free radicals) and cancer. Also another problem is we should cook our meat in stable fat with high content of SFA (like palm oil or lard or ghee) like our ancestors did and not oleic acid ( MUFA )because of the same reason. MUFA is better than PUFA chemically but still oxidized when used for cooking. Cooking meat on MUFA(olive oil) is not very healthy either.

Naturopathic doctors have a extensive intake interview process where they become very familiar with your lifestyle, 1.5 - 2 hours typically.

I had the beginning stages of leaky gut syndrome but only knew something was wrong because I had a massive candida outbreak. An allopathic doctor will look, maybe test, and prescribe a prescription all in about 15 mins. What a joke, right? A naturopathic doctor will not rely on masking the symptoms to pretend they’ve helped you. They will help you change your lifestyle, heal your condition completely, and make sure you have the knowledge to avoid the condition in the future. Anyway, point is, civilian groups can share their experiences but need to understand that each patient is unique and has a different set of requirements from the next. Group talks can be very dangerous and misleading if it turns into an echo chamber. My hour long conversations with my doctor are very special and valuable for me, but I am very hesitant to share too much because each patient is different.

Very, very, interesting line of thinking in this video ! Thank you Dr. C. for turning your attention to this under-researched area. At the risk of oversimplifying, it seems to me that we can put folks into two buckets. There are those that are broken metabolically, are insulin-resistant and accelerating towards CVD, and who may have other conditions associated with obesity and/or diabetes, who can be “fixed” with IF and a low/zero carb diet. Then there are those of us that are metabolically stable/healthy, and who want to continue on the low/zero carb path. It seems that the latter group do not need to be concerned as much about IF or OMAD, and maybe 3-4 small meals a day is optimal. In other words, once insulin-sensitive, do we need to time-restrict, as long as the food has the correct nutritional balance ? Sure, eating more than two meals a day will cause our insulin levels will be elevated for more of the 24-hour period when compared to OMAD or TMAD, but is that “unhealthy” ? That appears to be the central question sparked by today’s video. The other way to look at this is to realize that maybe we should all eat like a domestic cat: snacking on meat or fish throughout the day in between naps ! 😆

One needs fat, not protein, to fast. So, it doesn't make sense to eat a lot of protein to prepare for a fast. If one lacks enough body fat for a fast, then one would want to prepare by gorging on a lot of fat for a period beforehand. Of course, most people don't like eating fat by itself, other than maybe pork rinds. But there are many ways to increase fat intake: bulletproof coffee, fat bomb recipes, bacon, adding butter to meat, etc.

I couldn't agree more! I talk everyone out of eating OMAD. It also spikes insulin a lot because of the part of the protein that converts to glucose, the part that exceeded the protein synthesis maximum. I found the best way to eat carnivore is twice a day--I work with over 11 thousand migraineurs. Each meal should have enough protein for synthesis, which is 3-5 gr leucine from animal products. This works great! Try it.

@@KevinSmith-4Liberty testing urine strips is not measuring your ketones but the form of ketone body that was not used. Urine strips test acetoacetate, breath measures measure acetone, another form of ketone not used. The actual ketones burned are beta-hydroxybutyrate and that can only be measured in the blood. When on carnivore all the time, your phase 1 insulin response often ends up missing. Phase 1 insulin releases when you think of food, taste sweet, see food, etc. It's a cephalic insulin response. This often causes high fating blood glucose simply because your insulin is so low. Add a few plant carb grams into your meals--eat hypercarnivore of keto and your bg will drop because insulin will be releasing. But stop using urine ketone strips. The more ketones you are actually burning, the less ketones will be in your urine.

Another thing I might add is that folks should eat when they're hungry. Occasional fasting is fine whether it's eating OMAD, or fasting for 5 straight days (a few times a year). There's a lot to be said for autophagy, which is a subject I noticed no one has touched on here. Experts in the field, including a Noble Prize winner who won for his research on the subject, believe that fasting for as long as a week a few times a year may be a great preventative in many diseases, including cancer.

To continue with my previous comment, I'm still curious about that book. I follow many diverse KZitem channels that focus on alternative views of health, diet, and nutrition; particularly about low-carb and ancestral eating (traditional foods, paleo, LCHF/keto, carnivore, etc). Of all the videos I've seen in recent months, I don't recall a single person mentioning the book, Eat Like the Animals. Could someone point to discussion of this in the low-carb community? I don't watch KZitem videos all the time and so I'm sure I somehow missed this topic.

@@SkyKing1717 - I don't know if any commenter specifically mentioned autophagy. But various people, myself included, have discussed fasting and restricted eating such as OMAD. In another comment, I talked of this in terms of the typical hunter-gatherer eating pattern of feasting and fasting. In comments sections like these, I assume that most commenters already have some familiarity with autophagy and so would understand that it is automatically implied with fasting. There has been so much discussion of autophagy in the low-carb community in recent years. But it's good to bring it up for those who haven't heard about it. Personally, I regularly do shorter fasts and several times a year do longer fasts. My purpose is largely to increase autophagy. In fact, I was going to start a three day fast tomorrow, since that is the amount of time that guarantees full autophagy.

This reminds me of your earlier videos on protein in the context of metabolic health. Wasn’t your main takeaway that high protein is damaging to an insulin-resistant diabetic that needs to burn sugar and is therefore going to convert that protein to sugar via energy pathway? Whereas someone insulin sensitive/in ketosis is not predisposed to converting protein for energy? Love that you’re diving into this. The more I try to learn, the more confused I am about how much protein I should be eating. I just got my fasting insulin tested and it’s 5, so I know I’ve come a long way from being obese back in 2020 as a result of going keto/carnivore. But I also lift weights and am curious about the protein leverage hypothesis. It seems there is so much advice out there and I can’t make sense of it anymore.

Bottom line if you eat 3 protein meals per day you will never reach autophagy. I am sticking with OMAD and carnivore. I let my protein drop down to 50-60 grams per day and left it there for months. I had hideous scar shrink up to a tiny little stretch mark barely visible unless you were looking for it. I had 5 areas of my body that had milia (tiny bump under the skin made of protein). All 5 are gone. The moles on my back that I have had derm follow for years and have numerous times told me they should go are small enough that my last doc said they look ok, but that we should watch them. Lastly the stretch marks I earned as a young man from heavy lifting and rapid growth in my arm pits are less than half the size. I know the power of autophagy cause I have seen what it can do. I had that hideous scar on my hip for 33 years and it was ugly as shit. To have it be so gone that you have to look for where it used to be is mind boggling. I do higher protein the evening after I workout and the next day I shoot for 60-70 grams of protein. I think he is wrong also about not having enough stored energy in the 23%fat level......you still have plenty of fat storage on your body until you hit 12-15% for a man anyway.

I am not sure this is a serious *dietary* problem. I am low carb but I also have a extended fasting régime of 2x 36-hr periods per week with one 84-hr period per month. I have been tracking blood work since January and have been wearing a CGM since April. And I use CarbManager to track my dietary intake. I have a ton to data to corelate for my N=1 study. One my general observations is that changes to my dietary inputs seem to matter the least. Exercise affects my biomarkers, but the changes are not huge. Sleep, alcohol, various infections and stress create the biggest changes. This may be a case of chronic long-term effects vs acute short-term effects. A skin rash from urushoil had a much bigger impact on hs-crp than the Covid vaccine (no detectable effect). Bad sleep causes my white cell count and LDL to go up. Alcohol appears to effect my TG. All that said, my blood test before the last (on Friday 27 Aug) had the abnormal markers that you mentioned in your podcast, but that was after an 84-hr fast so any dietary impact would have been muted. I was really surprised at the results because my levels stay very stable. My last blood test - also at the end of an 84-hr fast - was back to "normal". Given the length of the fasts, the dietary effect seems secondary. There were no significant changes in LDL, hs-crp, or white cell count - more or less indicating that the immune system was not impacted. Very strange. I am blaming poor sleep and stress

Agree that spreading protein is better than once a day. In my blood work my kidney values are elevated during my training periods with lots of protein. When I do my fasting days the values normalize. Which is why the fssting is important. Take a bunch of your patients and make them fast for 3 days and then do the bloodwork. If the values normalize then they are healthy! If not have them fast more often. Usually that does the trick.

Keto is little bit to crazy for me. Do LCHF in a very very healthy way and in 2MAD (21:3/22:2). I eat the fat with Comes with the Food. I eat all vegetables. But i eat no Carbs (Rice, Noodles, Bread, Candy and so on). I fix my Liver. I fix my Insulinresistence. I fixed all my Bad Habits. I never be hungry, have Lost 5 kg with 2000 kcal. Intake, I‘m doing everyday my 15.000 Steps and Lifting weights. My Skin is, what can i say, only wow. I‘m 53 and finally i fixed my binge eating. Iam so happy. And i Love my Body. He is doing great. I feel 10 years junger. Fasting is MY silverplate. Fasting healing me.

It seems to me that if you eat small amounts of protein throughout the day, this is the most efficient pathway since the liver doesn't have to convert any of the proteins to glucose and to fat. Most of what you eat is used for the "nutritional arm" immediately. However, if you eat your daily intake of proteins all at once, you use up only part of the consumed proteins for the nutritional arm immediately. The rest has to be converted to glucose and to fat. I'm not sure how much of that stored fat can be used for later de novo synthesis of amino acids for the "nutrition arm" while you're fasting, but this process must expend more energy than if the excess proteins never had to be converted glucose and to fat in the first place. When it comes to weight loss, I would think you would want your body to use the most inefficient pathway possible.

i'm a Biochemist/Biohacker/OMAD= I think what you are missing is the DIAAS score ot the protein consumed=the better the DIAAS score the less N you produce and thus less BUN etc. IMHO, it is not the quantity of the protein but the bioavailability of the protein that is the key.

This is relevant to me, thanks. Protein beyond that needed for repairs and muscle growth seems unwarranted. I try to get 70 - 100g of protein daily, but not much more. I'm using fat as a primary energy source, but I still need a few carbs to maintain my weight.

That makes three of us. I mean, even former über-carnivore, Paul Saladino, eats carbs. It just feels better, mentally and physically, giving the body its individual carb requirement, minimal as it is. Plus, it's not right to completely deprive the tongue of the taste of sweetness. Probably no human ever did that. We have those taste buds for a reason.

So saturated fat from animals is not 100% saturated fat. Almost half of it is monounsaturated fat. I have this theory that a skinny person who is 4% body fat, who eats small portions of the carnivore diet, throughout the day, with a maintenance calorie level for the day and who does 30 to 60 minutes of exercise shortly after eating, won’t have high LDL numbers. I’m setting out to prove this. Or at least I want to because I have this situation at this time. See for one, that fat doesn’t just keep on floating around in the body forever. The body takes it and uses it, especially if it’s hungry, obviously. So you have to wonder why people are getting those high numbers? I guess I will have to study what that test is. I’ll do that today.

You're worried about protein overload one meal a day have the protein with seven or eight cups salad cabbage broccoli slaw mixed in a dressing made out of heart healthy oils extra virgin olive oil olive oil avocado oil macadamia nut oil. The salad and the fat will slow down protein absorption from a 1 to 2 hours. It was 6 to 8 hour. And you can't compare a ten-month-old with a 45 year old their needs are completely different!

Doc...as I'm sure you're aware evolution doesn't care about how long you live, it only cares about fitness- reproduction. Our early largely carnivorous ancestors were reproducing early and dieing off early from predation and accidents. Who knows what the best macro nutrient distribution is. Does anyone really know? It probably changes with age and health as well. I guess if you are a young male eat a lot of protein and turn your body into a Ferrari to attract many partners- that's what's going on anyway, right? If older, moderate protein consumption to extend life span. However, that can reduce your life span if you become frail and weak. This was beginning to happen to me, I'm 69. Thanks for all you do.

So he thinks it might be a problem for veteran carnivores who are very lean? We know Inuits only ate meat and fat. Maybe doc thinks it's safer for fat people. Ive found lots of people who have massively improved their health on carnivore - mental health especially. But a youtuber named Frank Tufano really hurt himself with red meat after 7 years. Hemochromatosis. Kelly Hogan feels amazing though and so do many others.

Isn't the short term fat laid down, that is easily released compared to long term fat how the body works? The hormones required to release this and the body repair homomes are sabotaged by insulin. I don't think eating 4 times per day would be right. All in one go like omad seems too extreme also. The myth that the body can only digest 30 grams of protein is incorrect. I eat twice per day with an 17 hour absence from 3pm till 8am. This may not suit another. It's not a problem that some of our protein is converted to short term fat, this is good. Stable blood sugars should not be maintained by frequency of meals, but by the hormones. We have to put down some short term fat to feed us when we are not eating. As I say its ridiculous to attempt blood sugar stability with meal frequency. I wonder if some people who have been successful in losing weight with the carnivorous diet still have the habit of eating too much in general, irrespective of what the food is. This could show up some unfavourable things on the analysis of them. My point is, a previously overweight, indulgent person isn't to be assumed to not still be eating excessively just because they've changed to carnivore.

It's June 2022 and I wonder if you have a more current evaluation. What seems obvious to me as a carnivore, is that the evolutionary diet is faithful only when you replicate the existential fact that carnivores in nature don't catch food every day. So feasting and fasting have to go together. I don't mean time restricted eating but days with no food.If you feast and then have these high values, you burn them off when you don't hunt successfully. It would be interesting to find out if these concerning blood values are found, if the people fast, how long does it take to return to normal.? Carnivores in the wild also sleep a lot and have lesser life spans. They have large ranges to cover every day. It's not natural to fast when you have food around. I find it very difficult When we consider dietary requirements, as far as I know, no official source takes into account that we are also being feed directly by light. Thank you. Brook

Not many doctors know what blood tests to order or how to read them. Plus they see thousands of patients who don't want to make the appropriate dietary and lifestyle changes. The doctors just prescribe pills and patients just want to take pills. It is a beautiful thing when you find a doctor who wants to help the patient who is ready to commit to the proper human diet and healthy lifestyle choices. It's not an easy road but is worth the effort. Thank you Dr. Cywes for helping those of us who want to improve our health. I appreciate all that you do, thank you.
