On March 1 at the Central Coast Nutrition Conference held in San Luis Obispo, CA, Dr. Westman explains why eating a low carb high fat diet is better for our bodies. He cites studies and experience in his own practice at Duke University Medical Center.

This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

It’s working
.
Please ping me with this. I’ve had good success going low-carb.
what is this magic you speak?
“is the all bacon diet I have dreamed of?”
No. The proteins in meats convert to glucose in the blood raising blood sugars. So, meat/protein must be limited to only adequate levels.
“what is this magic you speak?”
No magic, just the reality of limiting foods which produce excessive levels of blood sugar and excessive levels of insulin.

Not really an issue if you exercise enough to burn it off as glycogen. Carbs, though, truly are the major source of excess body fat. Eat lots of carbs and you'll never have 6-pack abs regardless of how many crunches or hanging leg raises you do.
“Not really an issue if you exercise enough to burn it off as glycogen.”
That betrays a lack of understanding of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Any person who is experiencing metabolic syndrome and diabetes cannot exercise enough to prevent progressive weight gain and increasing levels of blood sugar. Among this series of videos you will find a medical doctor who is a marathon sports competitor, medical researcher,sports medicine expert, suffered metabolic syndrome, and addresses the medical problem with ketogenic diet. The cause of this inability to burn fat is the elevated insulin levels which are caused in turn by the elevated levels of blood glucose.
I do. I can and do eat substantial quantities of meat (keeping an eye on total calories all the while) while shredding bodyfat and achieving sub 10% levels. Yet still maintaining most of my muscle gains. All the proof I need is right there in the mirror. And I'm 58 years old.
Is your waist measurement greater than 40 inches, and is your HbA 1c greater than 6.0? If not and you are not experiencing metabolic syndrome, your experience is not relevant to the problem.
I don't know anybody with body fat of 10% or less who has a waist greater than 40 inches. LOL. My waist is the same now as it was in college, about 32 to 34 inches depending on whether I'm currently in a bulking or shredding period.
Yes, obviously. You are trying to compare your experience without metabolic syndrome to the experience of a person with metabolic syndrome. Any person without metabolic syndrome retains the capability of burning fats when exercising, and any person with metabolic syndrome has their ability to burn fats from the adipose tissues blocked by the hormonal triggers activated by excessive insulin levels. Insulin causes fat retention. People with extreme cases of metabolic syndrome can literally starve to death with the atrophy of the muscles in the limbs, buttocks, heart, and so forth while still gaining weight and girth in the waist in the adipose tissues. This is all due to the malfunctioning metabolism scavenging every calorie that it can from the stores of dietary and muscular glucose, hepatic glycogens, and finally the breakdown of proteins in muscular tissues while rejecting practically all efforts to breakdown the triglycerides in the stores of fat in the body and bloodstream. You really do need to study at lest some of these videos and gain an understanding of how metabolic syndrome and diabetes affects the ability to burn body fats.
I will check out the videos
I'll pass. Since I obviously don't have metabolic syndrome I really don't care.

“I’ll pass. Since I obviously don’t have metabolic syndrome I really don’t care.”
That is pretty much the same kind of attitude once held by Dr. Peter Attia. Unfortunately for him, reality forced him to face up to the problem despite his Olympian style exercise and dietary lifestyle. It is, of course, your right and privilege to view and not view whatever you wish. However, anyone who is interested in the application of sports medicine, carb loading, and dietary guidelines with respect to sports performance can find much information of interest in his videos. One of his videos has already been posted in this Nutritional Health series, and more with further details will be following in the near future. If you see only one of these videos, the following should be of at least some interest to you or anyone else interested in dealing with the bonk experienced in sustained athletic performances.

Well, after 58 years I know what does and doesn't work for my body nutritionally quite well. If things change I'll then look to the source of that change. But there's no such "reality" I have to deal with now. For those into high levels of weight training, martial arts and high intensity interval training I think a much bigger issue is stressing the importance of protecting your joints and lower back. Things you can get away with when you are young will definitely catch up to you in this regard as you get older. I would hope most people are in this for the long haul. This is why I think "crossfit" is a horrible form of training - its a joint killer.
