Dr. Phinney gave a lecture at the Center for Obesity Assessment Study and Treatment (UC Davis) titled after his then recently published book. It is about 32 minutes long and he covers a lot of good material. I've made some notes on this short lecture that is available on youtube:
Youtube Video2:15 Brain burns about 600 calories a day.
4:21 Protein is anti-ketogenic. You can't be in NK and eat a very high protein diet.
6:38 Keto-adaptation defined over a hundred years ago by Dr. Schwatka in his diary while traveling and eating a native Inuit diet.
7:42 Stefansson is the guy that submitted himself to a year long lock up living on only meat and fat to prove his claims of health and low carb after being castigated by the nutritional gatekeepers of the day. My how times have not changed.
10:15 Phinney discusses his clinical study, 1983, that showed the results of keto-adaptation with a small group, five, of highly fit cyclist.
13:55 Comparison of his study to the 2005 Venables study. Phinney's lowest keto-adapted fat burner burned more fat the the highest SAD diet fat burner.
15:39 Tim Olsen, keto-adapted athlete, wins 100 mile endurance race in 2012. Zack Bitter, keto-adapted, 50 mile race winner.
17:15 Volek's 12 week outpatient study LC vs HC weight loss comparison. About twice as much with LC. CVD risks, which had excellent results with LC, are also compared. 14 inflammatory biomarkers were reduced in 100% of LC participants while only 6 of the 14 were reduced in the Low Fat participants.
21:21 A well-formulated ketogenic diet can be profoundly anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is bigger than just heart disease - it has a much bigger impact on many health issues.
24:30 Complex carbs *or* simple sugars still must be trasited through the bloodstream as glucose. If you have insulin resistance and the carbs (of any kind) cannot be pushed into muscle tissue it ends up being processed into fat and high TG in the blood.
26:04 The shocking fact that mainstream idiots cannot face - there are differences in how well any given person can metabolize carbohydrates. When you believe that a calorie is a calorie, a manifestly stupid belief fervently maintained by the mainstream horde, then the body is nothing more than, and *must* be, a two stroke lawn mower engine where you, the believer, are a drooling fool. Worse, you are a vocal drooling fool that thinks other people are too stupid and too lazy to eat less and move more. Shame on you, you blubbering mean spirited cretinous jackwagons. Phinney won't say it like that but I damn sure will.
26:54 Some things to consider about appropriate carb levels.
27:36 Phinney shows an example of what an NK menu might look like for one day.
28:32 Sustainability with NK outlined in seven steps.
30:54 Very interesting. Phinney uses exercise to intentionally elevate BK level.
31:19 "I think people should exercise for pleasure" - Phinney.
31:55 Phinney clears up using exercise to elevate BK - "The exercise is not the primary driver of ketosis, it is the carb and protein restriction".
