What’S The Story Of The Magic Pill Movie?

I met a man that moved to Alaska to die. Doctors told him he had 8 months to live due to 2 types of cancer. (Bone being one & I can not remember the other) He moved to the famous Kenai River to live his dream. He ate only organice fruits, veggies & salmon from the river. 15 months later he decided he needed a job. 2 years in he was cancer free. Just one nice story.

A well planned and researched vegan diet did not work for me.. Keto has healed things I didn’t even know I needed help with. One of the first things I noticed after switching my diet was for the first time in years, I stopped thinking about food continuously. When I was vegan, as soon as I was done eating, I was planning my next beautiful meal. And after that…my next beautiful meal…it gets exhausting. I cried when I realized I went a few hours with out thinking about food. It freed me!

I am a type 2 diabetic who has tried many diets to try to get my blood sugars under control. I ate a vegan diet for 6 months, I lost 17 pounds, but my blood sugars were all over the place. I was really into it and very strict. Eating whole foods and limiting sugar… but I wasn’t getting better. My A1C was worse than before. It went from a 7.2 to 8.4 when tested after the 6 months. My cholesterol also went from 187 to 221 in the same time frame. I loved being on a vegan diet and felt that it should be the best for my health, for the animals, and for the environment… and I was SO discouraged that my health wasn’t getting better. I have now been eating a keto diet for 4 weeks. I have lost 36 pounds. My doctor, who was concerned about this way of eating, as was I, wanted to closely monitor me for the first few months. I haven’t had my A1C rechecked yet, nor my cholesterol, but I have been taken off of all insulin (was on 45 units a day of Toujeo) and down from 1500mg of Metformin to 500mg daily. I don’t know why it’s working, but so far it seems to be going well. The only down fall is that I don’t like eating this way. I prefer the vegan diet, but it didn’t work for me.

Mic. I started Keto to lose a bit of weight (only short term as it was about 5 or 6 pounds I wanted to shift, that’s all). Within 24 hours my bleeding gums had stopped. Within a week my migraines had improved (not had one since) and my tinnitus improved too (despite being as a result of loud noise damage) better but not gone. My acid reflux has stopped totally. I have considerably less gas pollution issues (if you get my drift). My painful knees diagnosed as likely arthritis have gone. Over the course of 6 weeks my psoriasis cleared up for the first time in over 20 years. My energy is up, I’m sleeping better. Oh, and I lost that fat round my gut I wanted to get rid of. For the first time in my adult life my heart rate is around 70bpm (it has always been well over 100 and stumped the medics). Blood pressure better too (as evidenced by migraine cure). I rest my case.

My high meat ketogenic diet reversed my prediabetes, lowered my blood pressure to normal, my Rosecea is gone, my Degenerative Disc Disease in my neck no longer causes me pain and there is proof on my x-rays that I have improvement, my life long suicidal depression went away, my anxiety is almost non-existent, my seasonal allergies are gone as are my migraine headaches. I can’t say enough good things about the Keto/Carnivore diet and I believe it saved my life. I was a Vegan, it is an ethical diet, not one for health… you do whatever you want but I will NEVER be Vegan (or even vegetarian) ever again. It simply isn’t a complete diet not matter how many tons of supplements you choke down.

I was 320lbs, my cholesterol, triglycerides were insane high. Blood pressure was hitting 200’s. Within 4 months I lost 100 lbs, all my numbers became perfect. I had a wart on my thumb for most of my life that disappeared, my skin cleared up. Insane stomach problems went away. This is a click bait article on a hot topic.

I started Keto and in 2 months my blood pressure dropped from 154/90 to 127/84. My cholesterol went down, my other lipid panel went down, I lost weight, and felt more rested because I could sleep. I’m not saying Keto is the only answer, but it is an answer. Just like eating Vegan would be. I was vegetarian for 4 month, and then vegan for 8. I have just felt continuously better the more care and energy, and thought I put into my self care. Please people, keep your mind open, and do what’s best for you.

If you eat excessive amounts of protein on a low/no carb diet your body will convert the excess protein into glucose which is why Dr. Shaun Baker that you mentioned has the issues he has. That didn’t really prove anything. You have to keep your macros in balance on keto. It’s super low carb, high fat, moderate protein.

Yeah I quit smoking for 20 years because I wanted to improve my lunges. But guess what, I still experienced breathing problems! Some say it’s because I smoked weed every chance I got, but I don’t believe that. So there is the proof that quitting smoking is actually bad for your health. ~ The Sobriety Myth Now who can tell me what this logic reminds you of?

you did not debunk a damn thing, my A1C became lower on keto than when I was on vegan, what everyone calls fat is actually stored glucose from over eating processed sugars and carbohydrates not Plant carbs dimwit. Cholesterol is Important For overall health, it’s used for Several Important factors in the body, my hdl improved more on keto diet, tryglicerides dropped far more on keto than when I was vegan, I’m 48 and have no buildup in arteries and I’ve been keto now 16 months, ketones rise between meals and at sleep, all babies born have 5 times the ketones than the average adult…

I have had intestinal issues for as long as I can remember. I have tried all sorts of prescription and non-prescription meds and tons of Metamucil and Kefir and such things. Each time, I was good for maybe 2 weeks and then the GI problems start again. I went on Primal Blueprint 1.5 years ago and it helped but still did not cure me… as I was eating a ton of fruits. I started Keto at end of Oct. 2018, cut out all the sugars, not for weight loss but for memory improvement (old age…) and guess what… GI issue fixed, more energy all day, feel great, no regrets, life is good!! The vlogger is young, his body can handle a ton of crap. Looking back, it is scary the amount of junk I ate at his age. Just wait until he’s in his mid 40’s or like me, mid 50’s and see how it goes. It just might catch up. Now some will say this Keto will kill you… so be it, though I hardly think so. I am quite happy with higher HDL and LDL and lower Total Ratio and lower Triglycerides. But if Keto does take me out a few years earlier than expected, so be it, I am 1000% ok with it. I rather have a huge improvement in current quality of life than to worry if I will die when I’m 85 or 90. Bananiac should look back when he’s 55 and have a rethink… My 2 cents…

im doing keto and intermittent fasting and i lost like 30lbs in 2 months. i feel so good running my body on fat rather than sugar. no blood sugar drop, no need to eat every couple hours, i can literally not eat all day and not feel deprived or weakened by not eating. not everybody’s body works the same, but it worked for me

I am from France and people suffer from heart disease like any other developed world. My dad suffered from a heart attack. My older brother died from a heart arrest at the age of 61. I sure wish I could have saved his life by convincing him to go on a plant based diet. I heard plenty of stories of people dying from heart attack and dropping dead. France is no exception.

As an epileptic who suffers from seizure disorder, I can first hand attest that I’ve never eaten more veggies and LESS meat than while on Keto. I also suffer much less from auras and seizures while burning ketones and NOT sugars. The diet warns AGAINST too much meat and protein, which spikes insulin, which we’re trying to steer clear of. Anyone can bash any diet, so it’s all in how you spin it. Use a little common sense and follow the basics about sugars, carbs, fats, and proteins. In the end, whatever works best for your body.

Sorry you are wrong on eggs spiking cholesterol. My cholesterol went down going on keto and eating 4 whole eggs everyday. Maybe it will spike depending on what other foods you are eating. Example if you are stuffing your face with fast carbs, sweets, flour, bread and pasta yes your cholesterol will spike but not because of the eggs but the cholesterol your own body produces from glucose.

I was prediabetic and my doctor said to eat a lot of fruit, tortilla potatoes and rice .i go worse and worse .i stop this diet i eat alot of olive oil and olive,3 days times small fish per week and 2 meat .no process foods .alot of green veggies .my hdl ldl triglycerides and total cholesterol stay the same .my blood pressure go down and blood sugar and insulin resistance is now in normal levels and my uric acid go in normal levels .i want to ask if carnivore or vegan are the best diets why Okinawa on Japan,here we have Ikaria live longer and eat alot of veggies legumes and fish . Okinawa people eat 1-2 per week pig and 2-3 fishs and live 80-100 years old .we need all in moderation

I tweaked the Keto diet by using mono and polyunsaturated fat. And it worked for me. I was pre-diabetic and had uncontrolled hypertension. Now, my HgbA1c is normal and lost weight and blood pressure under control and dropping. I retired as an ICU registered nurse and based on my knowledge on pathophysiology, I got convinced by the diet so I tried it. Now, I am slowly discontinuing some of my meds upon discussion with my doctor. Saturated fat is never a good fat source and high carb diet is not either since your body converts it to glucose.

4 years vegan in the past…no muscle gains despite getting my protein and working out almost every day, lost my period, got fat, got plantar fasciitis, acne got worse despite taking antibiotics….now 3 months Keto….muscle gains and weight loss, plantar fasciitis gone, acne slowing going away without antibiotics, regular cycle

Not high protein. Not “tons” of pasture raised beef. No verifiable, replicated, correlation, between cholesterol and heart disease. Anectodally, I have struggled with Insulin resistance, infertility, food addiction, binge eating, anorexia, and many maladies that have disappeared in ketosis. I was vegan/vegetarian for 15 years and was miserable for most of it. Much of your quoted research/opinion is flawed. I eat minimal meat protein, I do consume an avocado, and mct oil daily, as well as 7-10 cups of greens, vegetables. You need more research and to follow someone who is really doing a healthy keto lifestyle. I personally know around 10 people whose life has dramatically changed living keto. Not sure why you seem so angry that so many are finding health and hope.

Hey, a simple truth here. I went on a WFPB diet last May because it was recommended as a cure for severe eczema. Not only did it work, but within 2 weeks I lost 14 pounds, which was a complete surprise to me. The weight hasn’t come back. I’d carried this extra weight for 27 years. Never thought I’d lose unneccesary poundage with no effort!

Fasting is healthy to do for your body. That is in basic a Keto diet with an autophagy boost. I would not do it all the time. To eat a lot of meet isn’t the answer. But sugar and high processed carbohydrates and plant foods. Eat them as low as possible. The truth is in the middle. Do Keto, do Vegan and swap. Humans are made to run on both. To much of one thing is bad.

Technically Shawn Baker isn’t in ketosis. His protein intake is too high which will knock you out of ketosis. Not saying the ketogenic diet is in anyway good, nor does this change any of the completely valid points you made, but i’ve been debating these keto people for a while now and i know for a fact that they’ll jump on that and use it as a point that you don’t understand ketosis and devalue the whole article. If you’re going to prove them wrong, you’re guna have to have a tight argument or else they’ll just stick their head in the ground and continue to feed the animal agro monster.

I have… or Had IBS, depression and I was born with tinnitus. Been overweight my Whole life. I have done 30 day juice fasts… twice in two years. I then wend vegan, raw vegan and I lost weight and felt good for a couple of months. Still did nothing for my other symptoms. After a couple of months of just feeling weak and bloated, I want back to my old ways because for me, it was unsustainable and I didn’t feel well. About 5 years ago, I went on keto and lost 50lbs. Did keto for 2 years and fell off over the past two years. Now I’m doing 100% carnivore because I wanted to get back into ketosis faster. And I’m Not Going To Stop! I Feel AmaZing! My IBS is almost 100% gone and so is my depression! My tinnitus has gone done significantly. There were nights I couldn’t sleep because it was so loud. I Highly suggest perusal DR. Ken Berry’s articles on the proper human diet. Our ancestors Ate Meat! American Indians Followed Buffalo for a Reason. Also watch Dr. Shawn Baker… Real Doctors with real Knowledge of nutrition! Dr. Berry had all kinds of heath issues and cleared them up the Keto.

If you monitor your blood on the keto diet to stay within 3-7 mmdL you will not have keto acidosis, and yes keto acidosis is a diabetic issue..there are also plenty of studies which show it to be healthy for many conditions… since ancient times people have fasted in order to improve mental health conditions, more recently we discovered that ketones are a more steady fuel source for the brain (sugar highs and lows can effect the blood brain barrier causing an unstable environment in the brain of someone with a weakened blood brain barrier) the ketogenic diet mimic the positive effects of fasting.. you say the body prefers to consume sugar with the logic that it burns sugar first, but your body will burn alcohol before sugar.. does that mean it prefers alcohol?? Also ketosis doesn’t necessarily mean animal products you can be vegan a in ketosis.. there are plenty of studies showing that vegans are often deficient in minerals/vitamins such as iron and vitamin K2, there are plenty of people who enzymes needed to digest large amount of green, cows have multiple stomachs in order to digest a lot of grass. I think both diets are better than the SAD but the keto diet helped me a lot with my health problems

Wow…so before one listens to the guy in the article, maybe you might want to look into the Keto lifestyle in depth. He talks about all these people that have had a bad run with the Keto diet, but does not seem to point out where they are. I’ve been looking and have not found any so far. Every person I have talked to that is doing it all say the same things…it works and the diabetes is gone, no more brain fog, arthritis gone, fibromyalgia gone, mood swings leveled, hormone issues resolved…weight loss happening…joint pain gone…and on and on and on. Keto can be done vegan as well…because much of the fats on the diet are vegetable, nut based. Understand that there are good fats and bad fats, and this whole fear based BS about the bad fats has caused all fats to be thought of as bad and that simply is not true. Also, I have had more then one Dr tell me that the they have discovered that the whole heart associations guide is BS…that it is not what causes the arteries to clog…so I don’t know. Of course I’ve had some Dr’s say you can’t reverse Diabetes 2, while others say it is more then possible, but most people don’t stick to the diet and exercise program to make it happen. Also consider that not all diets are good for all people…so do what is good for you, but don’t trash something you’ve never tried or don’t understand.

I felt like absolute trash on a nutritionist-guided vegan diet. Trash. 1 year of keto and my depression is gone, my keto-fueled brain functions like a champ, and my chronic pain is GONE. You can find a study to back ANY theory. I don’t hear vegans boasting about how veganism changed their life and cured… well, anything. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do what works for you. I was vegan. Too many carbs and I was always hungry trying to restrict calories and I had 150lbs to lose. Eating high (good) fat, moderate protein, (I still eat a largely vegetable diet) and low carbs (20 to 30grams/day) is working miracles. I eat 5 cups of green veggies per day. FYI, I was not eating a highly processed fast food diet as a vegan. Now, my acid reflux, insomnia and fatigue are gone and I am losing weight (without eating bacon and eggs everyday). Once I reach my goal, I’ll eat mostly veggies and add back enough (good) carbs to keep cravings at bay and maintain a healthy weight. Mic the Vegan, this article is just as one sided and misleading as the documentary it is complaining about. People, do your own research then do what is best for you (and try not to spew hate on other people while you do it).

Is every single Vegan healthy?, everyone get’s sick despite of diet. People spend waay too much time taking care of what they think can be good for them in their mouths, and too little on what they put in their brains and minds. Sicknesses come from the mind as much as they come from harmful exterior causes. Keto Diet can help loose weight, and maybe for some people it might actually be beneficial, we live in a free world, where everyone is different. Ketogenic diet doesnt mean go crazy on meat. It means to get energy from fat, You can be on Keto while Vegan/Vegetarian. Just like you can be unhealthy Vegan, or Vegan radical thinking is the best thing.

Most grain (wheat+corn) is produced by mega food corporations and government subsidies and powerful lobbies. When the U.S. adopted the FDA food pyramid, the population became fatter than ever with children now experiencing obesity at unprecedented rates. The cardiovascular crisis in the USA is being driven by pre-diabetes and insulin resistance which has been caused by the typical high carb diet. Virtual all wheat, corn, and soy is GMO, pesticide resistant “Frankenfood” . Gluten in many grains lead to eventual ciliac disease. I don’t have an issue with Veganism and the eating of natural whole carbs, but buying non-GMO, organic veggies and grain is just as expensive as a keto diet. I’m on a modified keto diet. I eat meat, fat, veggies and eggs. I have cut out breads and grains and processed sugar. One solid meal and one snack provides all the energy I need and I am able to do an intermittent fasting routine very easily. I’ts not like one eats steak, bacon, eggs and lard guacamole 3 times a day. A properly done Keto diet eliminates the need to eat excessive amounts of food. The Keto diet is catching on because it appears to be working for many people and time will tell if it is sustainable. I think Keto and Vegan people can agree that getting away from processed carbs and processed sugar is a basic step in the right direction.

I ate a “healthy” plant based vegan diet. Nothing processed. High fibre. But I gained 7 kilos in 8 months. Had zero energy. 3 weeks into keto. I’ve LOST 4 kilos. And I have tons more energy. Even thinking of trying this for my two sons who are on the autistic spectrum. However being vegan is the most ethical way to be. Good luck to those who embark on such a journey. Just take good care.

if Ancel keys was right then is John Yudkin wrong with Pure, white and deadly? Keys challenge yudkin so is Keys right that sugar is not harmful? “The Sugar Association’s biggest apologist was Ancel Keys, Ph.D., who, with industry funding, helped destroy Yudkin’s reputation by discrediting him and labeling him a quack. The smear campaign was a huge success, bringing sugar research to a screeching halt. Like the tobacco and chemical industries, those who profit from sugar have become very adept at crushing dissenting voices, including those in the halls of science. ” wakingtimes.com/2016/09/29/proof-sugar-industry-manipulated-science-get-hooked/

It’s hard to watch this article, there are different types of fats the same as there are different types of carbs. Animal fats and fat from coconut and olives are healthy the same as some carbs from fruit might be healthy because of the amount of fiber in the fruit that counters the insulin spike. Also he mentions that cholesterol is the problem when your body produces cholesterol as a defensive mechanism and you would need to eat an impossible amount of eggs to actually go over your cholesterol. In fact it’s the sugar that is causing inflammation in your blood and causing the response. So saying cholesterol is bad and not the sugar is like blaming a fireman for putting out the fire.

Keto works for me, a year ago I had arthritis, joint pain, insomnia, high cortisol low testosterone, blasto bacteria, a parasite laying dormant feeding off carbs and sugars. I went Keto all pain disappeared, gut health is good, sleep has improved, hormones have reversed..I’m leaner than ever and I’ve built some solid muscle..I feel better than ever..It reduces inflammation in more ways then one!

I hear these people talk about how good keto makes them feel, and it did, at first. The weight loss made me feel better, and then I felt worse. A lot worse. Pancreatitis and a week in the hospital worse. WFPB works for me, and I feel amazing. I’m glad that they found something that works for them, but I’m never goin back. Keto puts a bandaid on insulin resistance, a healthy vegan diet reverses insulin resistance. The research and my experience bear this out.

I’ve been doing keto for about two weeks now and feel great I’ll probably go get blood work after about two months out my own curiosity. I agree with some of the things you said such as the lard thing and a few other things like too much red meat. I actually get tired of red meat and shoot for chicken, turkey and fish more than red meat and pair with good veggies but I also feel like your just trying to push everyone who watches this to believe that all meat is bad and should all be vegetarian. Thanks for the article though!
