Optimising Nutrition Podcast

RD Dikeman PhD (of Type 1 Grit) is eager to chat through how each of the 12 Keto Lies can negatively impact people with type 1 diabetes.

- Keto Lie #1: ‘Optimal ketosis’ is a goal and more ketones are better

- Keto Lie #2: You have to be ‘in ketosis’ to burn fat

- Keto Lie #3: You should eat more fat to burn more fat

- Keto Lie #4: Protein should be avoided because of gluconeogenesis

- Keto Lie #5: Fat is a 'free food' because it doesn’t elicit an insulin response

- Keto Lie #6: Food quality is not important, it’s all about insulin and avoiding carbs

- Keto Lie #7: Fasting for longer is better

- Keto Lie #8: Insulin toxicity is enemy #1

- Keto Lie #9: Calories don’t count

- Keto Lie #10: Stable blood sugars will lead to fat loss

- Keto Lie #11: You should ‘eat fat to satiety’ to lose body fat

- Keto Lie #12: If in doubt, keep calm and keto on

We'll also be taking Q&A from people in the live.

It was SO much fun to finally get to chat Ted Naiman and discuss all that we've learned (and had to unlearn) over the last five years.

Ted has done heaps of interviews and podcasts about what he now believes, so I wanted to dig behind the memes to understand how he has changed what he believes.

We covered:

Why he now believes the Carb Insulin Hypothesis is dead.

What does insulin really do?

The Personal Fat Threshold

Energy Toxicity

Protein Leverage

Food quality

Nutrient density

The limitations of extended fasting.

The most common advice that he gives his patients that works every time.

Advice for someone just starting on their journey?

What Ted's daily eating routine looks.

Does Ted take supplements?

What are the top five foods you eat most often?

How do you motivate clients when they are not able to comply fully?

Thoughts on biohacking?

Ted's dreams for the future of nutrition.

I hope you have as much fun listening in as we did chatting.

It’s been super encouraging to get some great feedback on Big Fat Keto Lies and get to chat with them about the topics in the book to get their take on the issues. This week I had the pleasure of chatting with gastroenterologist Dr Pran Yoganathan about a number of fascinating topics including:    

Protein leverage 

Nutrient density. 

Finding the balance between protein and fat.   

Pros and cons of fibre. 

The importance of viewing health and nutrition through the lens of evolution. 

Can we really tailor our diet to our microbiome?

First up was Ketogains’ Luis Villasenor. He suggested that we should get together and talk about what a healthy low carb or keto diet should look like. You can watch our chat here.

We covered a broad range of important questions, including:

Why is protein important for fat loss, body composition, diabetes management?

Is there a protein target that most people should aim for?

How do nutrition/protein recommendations change for older people? 

What are the biggest misconceptions when it comes to protein? 

Ketogains talk about using “fat as a lever”? What does that mean?  

When does “healthy fat” become something we should minimise/reduce/avoid? 

What foods do you recommend most people eat? 

How does that change for fat loss, muscle gain/bulking?   

What is your experience testing ketones? 

What values did you see in the early days? How about now? 

What measures do you use to track progress?
