Top Insulin Expert: Insulin Is More Dangerous Than Sugar! This Will Strip Fat Faster Than Anything!

Writing a summary of this just incase if you dont have 2 hours • Insulin controls fat storage, not calories alone • High insulin = fat locked in • Sugar spikes insulin, but insulin is the real problem • Insulin resistance causes weight gain • Frequent eating keeps insulin high • Snacking slows fat loss • Carbs raise insulin more than fat • Protein raises insulin least and improves satiety • Healthy fats don’t spike insulin • Intermittent fasting lowers insulin • Fasting helps access stored fat • Strength training improves insulin sensitivity • Muscle acts as a glucose sink • Cardio alone is less effective • Ultra-processed foods worsen insulin resistance • Liquid calories spike insulin fast • Sleep deprivation increases insulin resistance • Stress raises insulin via cortisol • Type 2 diabetes is insulin driven • Obesity is hormonal, not willpower • Weight-loss drugs don’t fix insulin resistance • Fix insulin → fat loss becomes easier

I first tried keto about 5 years ago, found it to be super easy, dropped 20lbs in 2 months and then thought "oh yeah, I can now go back to my regular way of eating, just eat less". Yeah, no. I've gained all the weight back and meandered around like that for over three years, until I decided to get back on track. For real, this time. I've been strict keto since late July 2025 and have dropped 40lbs in that time, as a 39 yo woman. I haven't been this weight since my 20s. My energy levels are up, my sleep is deep, there's no brain-fog, I fast easily, the list goes on. But I had to come to terms with the fact that I am a sugar addict, plain and simple. One bite of candy can throw me off for weeks. Is it like that for everyone? Probably not. But I bet a lot of people are highly addicted to refined sugar and are unaware of it. Once you are and you see the amount of sh*t that gets put into all our food, it's mind-blowing. Don't be afraid of the cravings, they go away fast. Keep your electrolytes up and there won't be keto-flu (at least in my experience). Prepare for your social life to tank a bit, which is probably overall the hardest part. People don't understand, they think this is unhealthy. You'll have to explain it many, many times with a lot of love and even more patience. As your weight drops and you feel better, some people might wanna try to lure you into some indulgences. Don't. They're not worth it. Instead, prepare your own keto-friendly desserts and bring those to birthday parties, or whatever. You don't have to miss out, you just have to structure a bit more. Grocery shopping will be a breeze, because most of the isles are not for you anymore. You might even save a lot of money, because eating out is a bit of a hassle, I'm not gonna lie. Still, taking everything into account, I haven't felt better in a long time and I intend to keep it that way, creating the best version of me that I can possibly be, to step into my 40's this year. A special "Thank you" to Dr. Bikman, Dr. Pelz, Dr. Fung, Dr. Berry, Dr. Boz for sharing their knowledge with us. And thank you Steven and the whole DOAC Team for giving these guests a platform to reach even more people.

I was diagnosed with terminal cancer (NHL), back in 2012.. thanks to Thomas Seyfried and his book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease Im today cancer free..

12 years keto. I’ve tip toed away a couple of days here and there and have always regretted it. If you enjoy energy and being pain free and mentally sound and excited about your life keto is absolutely sustainable. My bloodwork is ELITE! 53 yrs old F, 5 ft tall 117 lbs. alc 4.6, BP 90/60, visceral fat 4 … in the best shape of my life. 12 yrs ago I was 40 yrs old, morbidly obese at 5 ft 235 lbs. I can’t imagine what my quality of life would be like at 53 if I didn’t make the change.

I'm now 71 years old and was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in summer 2024. I read everything I could and decided to eat the very low carb way. I cut out sugar (obviously), potatoes, bread and any products made with wheat flour or oats, pasta and rice. I also practice time restricted eating, I eat between noon and 6pm.. I lost 2 stone in weight and my numbers are now so good I was able to stop my diabetic medication. It worked for me and I've never felt better.

One of your best guests. Such humility. Explains things clearly in plain language.

Ben is the epitome of how a man and a scientist should be. Knowledgeable enough to challenge the narrative, but humble enough to acknowledge that he is still an observer and a learner in this world. Thanks Steven... this podcast is part of my self-improvement journey and I love all of your conversations, whether i agree with the guests or not. ❤️

I'm 48, had a stroke in the cerebellum. And just found out a clogged c artery. Pray for me please.

I went on a fasting keto diet on February 1st. 23hr fast, one meal a day, low carbs < 50gr) and high protein/fat and today have lost 60lbs.
