Now I see the importance of the timing of when you eat, intermittent fasting which I have been studying lately, and the fifty percent insulin problem. Im glad you shared this  

@fred4win -- wow, what a GREAT video: I want to watch more of his! He may not be a Medical Doctor, but he sure is one.smart. man! He's done his research, and has interviewed other people who have lived it. Thank you for the link, this is terrific! 

Butter bob is Amazing. I have been studying how the endocrine system works. Everything he said is true. We DO gain weight because of insulin. Its the ONLY reason we gain weight. Its NOT YOU. Its the food you eat and WHEN you eat it. You are not broken. You are not defective. The government and the USDA have sold us ALL a bad bill of goods. Get your insulin down and you WILL lose weight. Your body has no choice in the matter. Insulin's sole purpose for existing is to cause your body to store fat. Keto works because it drives insulin DOWN. And IF works because it does it also. 

Cool, I see you met Butter Bob, his video is one of the reasons I started on LCHF, I found the link to the video on some site I don't remember, then from this video to DietDoctor.com the rest is history. 

Thanks for sharing the link. I knew most of this already, but always good to hear it again because we must constantly fight back against the low-carb low-fat meme. I believe it is true that high circulating insulin levels (from insulin resistance) also have a lot to do with the laying down of placque in the arteries. Anybody up on this? 

I'm sorry, that was "high carb low fat". You see, I'm so well programmed into low carb that I have trouble saying "high carb" anymore! 

Trackin64 it is well known for hundreds of years actually what causes heart disease. The British actually treated it. Well British sailors from as far back at the 1800's. Its caused by a vitamin C deficient. And NO I DO NOT mean ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is the crap they sell in drug stores. Pawned off as real vitamin C. The best source of REAL vitamin C is LEMONS and LIMES. Hence why British sailors gained the name "Limey" For them it was to fight SCURVY. Regardless, natural vitamin C repairs the tears and damage caused to our vascular system and heart. Cholesterol is actually doing its job. The reason we actually produce Cholesterol is to temporarily PATCH damaged veins and arteries. The Vitamin C is supposed to repair the actual damage. So when your body has a lot of vascular damage your body will have HIGH LEVELS OF CHOLESTEROL! All the cholesterol is trying to do is patch the holes inside us do we don't bleed to death internally from torn veins and arteries. Dr's have been treating the symptom with drugs. While all they needed to do was CURE THE DISEASE with Vitamin C. The real stuff.  

Interesting!
