whey protein shoots insulin sky high. I prefer casein protein powder as it is does not affect insulin as much, keeps one full for longer.

I initially lost 60 lbs , held it for 3-4 years than took a binge year , gained back 30, now back on 4hb mixing in high fat , less beans , less meat ,n doing intermittent fasting 16 hour windows with quarterly 72 hour fasts My results are great , back to 60 lbs off n cured type 2, and also replaced squats with short walks to avoid hip pain. I do have to get back to timed cheat days because im cheating unplanned anyway so than its harder to get back on track because u want to succumv to cravings. Anyways 4hb works , i tweaked it to cure my typ2d by adding fasting n fat n it works for me , good luck all .

Why are chickpeas not allowed unlimited like beans and lentils?

@4:35 Oz is thinking “… NOW he tells me this thing’s caked with toe jam?!”

I did the slow carb diet for 3 weeks. I felt too tired on it so I stopped but I wasn’t balancing things right. I wasn’t as strict. I even ate chocolate pudding every night, just one of those little snack pack ones. What I ate mostly was baked beans (vegetarian), eggs and vegetables, and chicken. I lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks. So had I stuck to it for 4 weeks, I would have likely hit 20 pounds of loss with no exercise just like he states. This diet does work, you just have to do it in a way to keep you energized. Going back on it again.

mmm kay look into the ketogenic diet. It is similar to this one but many people believe it to be more sustainable because the fat intake is higher so your energy levels don’t drop. ☺️

I am a big advocate for Tim, and have been so for about 3 years now. I follow his books, podcasts, and other media.

I also have tested multiple ways of eating like counting macros/calories and keto, but never was able to stick to it or lose weight. Once I got on the slow-carb diet, I immediately realized how much simpler it is to follow than others I have tried. Although I did not get the rapid weight loss others have, I have lost a very healthy 35lb and am still losing. Not only is my weight going down but I just feel so much better. One thing I realized is that this diet really allows the “stress of eating” to be dramatically reduced. Whenever my friends ask me how I lost weight I always encourage them to look into the slow carb diet by Tim Ferris and I would recommend you to give it a shot if you are trying to lose weight!

It works! The only diet that helped me drop 28lbs in 2 months.

@Pamela Lopez I have not read Tim’s book but from a little research I did it seems people that have are saying Heavy cream is okay if kept to 2-3 tablespoons a day. I could live with that.

@Deadringer Me too!!!! YAAAAY!!

A bit of cheese won’t break the bank.

I pretty much ignored the no cheese recommendation and still weigh ~80 lbs. less than I did three years ago. Just don’t go crazy, use cheese as a garnish. Cheat Day rules. Have it then. I’m 60 years olf (male). It worked for me and it was easy if not fast.

The best diet is the diet that you can stick with

Nutella Stuffed Pancakes <<--

And that my dear is junk food for most people .

Daniella Hernandez cocaine

I’m currently on a coke and hamburger diet…….. I think I can stick with it…..

Right you are

I love how every diet in the beginning is always easy to live by .. I’m interested so I’m watching .

Now this is a diet I can actually stick to!

Is Dr. Oz taller than average or is Tim Ferris shorter than average?

DC both

Ferris is 5’7″ and Oz is 5’11”

The amount of information on the internet these days can make selfstudy nearly as valuable and sometimes more effective than paying tens of thousands of dollars for a college degree. I watched a clip the other day from The Doctors where they had Cole from Snake Diet on and the one physician arguing with him couldn’t get past his own ego and see the possibilities of something that wasn’t taught to him in med school. It’s unreal how dismissive our medical community is of information presented by people that don’t have a title after their name.

I’m not the biggest fan of Oz but I find it great that he gives a platform to guests that have done their due diligence achieved some kind of positive result through their own discovery.

KETO??

Complexity Official more like paleo

Dr oz is being smart. He’s incorporating all these very popular Internet personalities who the mainstream media largely ignore. If one them hit “mainstream” then he can produce their show and capitalize. I’m assuming that’s what he’s doing.
