Ketogenic Diets

While a degree of nuance is needed for specific recommendations, based on factors like general health and goals, the general principle is to reduce carbohydrates while ensuring appropriate intake of fat and protein.  This addresses the key problem of insulin resistance, which is central to many modern disease states, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Dr Mason developed an interest in low carbohydrate diets in 2011.  Since then he has spent hundreds of hours reading and analysing the scientific literature, in particular focusing on understanding how your diet is the basis of your good health.  (71 minutes)

Public Comment: It's very strange, when I go on a Keto diet, my weight goes down, energy goes up and I NEVER crash!  However, when I follow the doctors orders (low fat higher "healthy" carbs) I feel horrible, tired all the time and I can't stay lean for ANYTHING!  It's crazy that people don't accept the fact that you must do what makes you FEEL optimized.  I don't even eat fruit anymore!
