Check out Dr. Ian's Website: https://type1keto.com/about-dr-ian-lake/ 0:00 Welcome, Dr. Ian Lake! 1:13 Should people with type 1 diabetes go 5 days without food? 3:10 What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes? 5:23 Type 1 diabetes and ketosis 15:01 Ketoacidosis 19:35 Exercise while fasting 22:30 Measuring ketones 29:15 Dr. Lake’s diet Please join me in welcoming Dr. Ian Lake! Dr. Lake is a medical doctor and type 1 diabetic who ran 5 marathons while fasting for 5 days. He ran a total of 100 miles in 5 days! Dr. Lake's main goal was to show how nutritional ketosis can be safe for type 1 diabetics. Keep in mind that to accomplish this dangerous and amazing feat, Dr. Lake trained his body in many different ways. Taking something like this lightly could have been deadly. A type 1 diabetic can not produce insulin in enough volume to maintain blood sugar. This is very different from type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes have more than enough insulin and often have too much, leading to insulin resistance. Dr. Lake explains that our bodies can multifuel, which means we can use sugars and fats for energy. In an ideal situation, our bodies can flip between whatever fuel they need. To burn fat as fuel, your insulin has to be low. Dr. Lake lost over a pound of fat per day during his 5-day fast. To prepare for a longer fast, you have to become fat-adapted. You must lower insulin to adapt your body to running on fat fuel. To lower insulin, lower the food that stimulates insulin—carbohydrates. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a dangerous condition associated with type 1 diabetes. Ketoacidosis occurs when sugar in the blood can not get inside of the cells, starving them of energy. Some medical professionals believe that ketosis can put you at risk for ketoacidosis, but other doctors are against this idea. Dr. Lake currently follows the keto diet, leaning more towards the carnivore diet. His diet consists of about 100 grams of protein per day, dairy, and some leafy greens.

9 months ago I was 67 and pre-diabetic, 6’/245 lbs., went on 20-4 fast everyday, run 10 miles and walk 10 miles per week. I still eat carbs but a more reasonable amount. I’m now 175 and back to a size 32. Fasting/exercise works!

I started at 234 pounds… I now weigh 147. I cut all forms of sugar, I cut bread, rice, oatmeal , all carbs except veggies… I intermittent fast ( 16-8) but I ONLY EAT TWO MEALS WITHIN MY EATING WINDOW and I DO NOT SNACK BETWEEN MEALS. And I make sure BOTH MEALS are at a CALORIC DEFICIT… I also walk 4 days a week for 40 minutes. I make sure my meals are salted liberally and I drink a lot of herbal teas with a tiny bit of stevia. I also play a lot with my fasting window. Sometimes I do OMAD if I’m not hungry too. Thank you Dr. berg.

I have lost about 35 lbs in the last 2 months and here is what I did. I went from 3 meals to 2 meals a day. I cut out almost all carbs from my life, I eat breakfast and dinner and in breakfast I eat a 2 egg omelette sometimes with cheese and sometimes without and no bread, with a cup of tea or coffee again without any sugar and a hand full of almonds sometimes. And in dinner I eat a little bit of carbs and I try not to go for seconds and thirds. I eat dinner earlier too like around 5PM to make that fasting window longer. From 230 lbs I am down to 195 lbs and have never felt better, my back pain is gone and overall I feel a lot healthier and have way more energy than before. Thank you Dr. Eric for everything that you do. God Bless

This reminds me of how David Goggins was training to become a Navy Seal and he only had about 90 days to lose about 100lbs. Lots of running and minimal eating.
