Richard Morris and Carl Franklin discuss the theory of CICO (Calories In vs. Calories Out), a very popular theory about how to lose weight: If you simply create a caloric deficit by expending more calories via exercise than you eat you will lose weight. Does it work? If not, why? Does your body utilize every calorie that you eat? Are all calories burned at the same rate all the time? Does exercise increase or decrease your metabolic rate (calories out)? These are the questions that the dudes tackle on this very technical and even more amazing episode. Errata: An alert listener, Matthew Whited, pointed out that it's gas, not fat, that makes stools float.

Please enjoy this encore presentation of 2 Keto Dudes from August 16th, 2016. Mad As Hell. Carl Franklin and Richard Morris get angry about how the medical establishment hasn't evolved along with science. We KNOW the chain of events that leads to type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Not only do we KNOW how to reverse it, but we knew in the 70's! Why after all this are most doctors still clueless about how to treat it? Richard tells the story of Dr. Gary Fettke, an Australian doctor who removes diabetic feet. He has been treating his patients with a ketogenic diet, and in 2014 was silenced by the establishment. He is not allowed to talk to his patients about nutrition. If that wasn't maddening enough, an interview with Ivor Cummins reveals the diabetes research by Dr. Joseph Kraft in the 70's. Kraft discovered a method for detecting T2DM 20 years before a diagnosis. His research was effectively ignored. The good news is that you can leverage Kraft's research to figure out your risk of diabetes right now with a simple blood test. We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore! Also, Ivor does use a profane phrase (GD) toward the end of his interview, which we bleeped. Errata: Richard said that of the 54 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) testing low carb vs low fat, that 43 showed that low carb was better, and 26 were significant. The reality is that 47 of those 54 showed that low carb was better and that 27 were significant.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it, and keto is no different. We hope you can learn from our experience how to make your transformation go smoothly. Keep Calm and Keto On! Errata Richard mentioned that he thought Romano was made in the south of Italy. @fiorella from the ketogenic forum sent us a correction "As the name suggests, it's a cheese that's been consumed all the way back to the ancient roman times (common staple of legionnaires) and it is produced in the Lazio region (where the capital city, Rome, resides). The name is in fact protected, and Pecorino Romano is only made in certain area. It's made out of sheep's milk, ergo the name "pecorino" in Pecorino Romano. The Italian word for sheep is "pecora". Its close cousins are other pecorino cheeses, perhaps the second more famous one that is made in Tuscany. But, not as salty and pungent as the Romano. They are milder and eaten as slices. While Pecorino Romano is often grated and shredded, and added to dishes. While Pecorino Romano resides in the "Parmesan" category in American grocery stores, it's not made out of cows milk, as the famous Parmigiano reggiano."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk to Amber O'Hearn about being a carnivore, evolution, sleep, ketogenic metabolism, and a few other tasty nuggets you won't want to miss! Errata Richard forgot to mention when working with Transglutaminase .. wear food prep gloves. Amber sent us a piece of errata. She writes: In our podcast, Carl asks me if babies *have* to be in ketosis to build brains, and I say yes, but that's not true. That is, the primary way that babies build fat and cholesterol in the brain in normal conditions *is* out of ketone bodies, though a small proportion is also made from glucose. I have a few references on this point in the talk transcript on my blog. The critical question is: What happens if there are no ketones to be had and only glucose? The answer seems to be that glucose will suffice. There is a rare inborn error of metabolism called HMG-CoA lyase deficiency, which prevents the body from making ketones. A paper by another brilliant Morris ( Cerebral ketone body metabolism ) reports that people afflicted with this have white matter abnormalities, but no noticeable loss of function, except of course, they can't go without food for long. This suggests that in cases where there are no circulating ketones, the glucose alternative pathway will take over, and get at least an adequate brain constructed. It occurs to me that children with this condition may be perfect candidates for the therapeutic use of ketones esters, provided the condition doesn't somehow prevent their use. "Given the importance of KBs [ketone bodies] as substrates for myelination, one might expect disorders of ketogenesis to be associated with cerebral white-matter abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging has, indeed, shown diffuse mildly increased signal in the white matter of patients with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency. Superimposed on this are foci of more abnormal signal. In most cases, multiple lesions have been present, varying in size from a few millimetres to large confluent areas; as well as in the cerebral hemispheres, they have been reported in the internal capsule and brainstem but not in the corpus callosum or cerebellar white matter. Despite the imaging abnormalities, most patients have had no neurological problems and normal or slightly below average intelligence. The findings would be compatible with hypomyelination, caused by the lack of KB."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Richard Morris puts forth a hypothesis that explains three controversies surrounding protein. 1) How much protein should we eat? 2) If you fast do you lose muscle mass? 3) If you eat protein does it turn into sugar in your body? Experts disagree about the answers to these seemingly simple questions. Richard has done the math to explain how they are all correct under the right circumstances. This is a very technical discussion, but there is practical guidance that comes out of it, if indeed Richard is correct. As of this recording, it's just a hypothesis. More study and more input is required. Errata: Richard referred to a minimum requirement of 51g of glucose being required to run the brain, the actual figure should be 50g - he made a rounding error in his spreadsheet. The math in the post on our blog is all double checked and (hopefully) free of rounding errors. 50g of glucose, from the glycerol released by burning 500g of fat, which requires that Angus Barbieri ask his body to deliver 3850 kCal of energy, and have at least 123.23 lbs of body fat.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Richard Morris and Carl Franklin hand over the mics this week to Brenda Zorn and Kim Howerton, both admins on the 2 Keto Dudes Facebook group.

This is the first of what we hope will be many more 2 Keto Dudes shows where Brenda and Kim talk about these issues in depth. Errata: The podcast that Kim refers to that discussed how women lose weight slower than men is a lecture by Dr Robert Cywes at the Cape town LCHF conference - see the show notes. Also, Carl said that if a mother eats a high carb diet while pregnant the baby may have a predisposition toward insulin sensitivity. He meant insulin resistance. Also, many people thought Brenda said "Dr. Fung says women shouldn't fast." She was actually echoing the myth that Fung refers to that women should not fast. She may have not chosen her words correctly, but that was her intent, to refer to the myth pointed out by Dr. Fung.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris interview the one and only Tom Naughton, software guy turned comedian turned Netflix star. His documentary, Fat Head, was first made in response to the movie 'Supersize Me' in which a perfectly healthy man ate 3 meals a day at McDonalds for 30 days to see what would happen to him. The results weren't good. Tom's response was to prove that he could also eat McDonalds' food for 30 days and stay healthy, even lose weight. During the process of making the film he learned about low-carb high-fat eating, ketogenic diets, and the like. Nowadays Tom is an advocate for the ketogenic lifestyle and is still poking fun at the ignorance that abounds in the world of health and nutrition. Eratta: Richard and Carl both mentioned that Beverly's husband who had the late night low glucose event could have eaten a small bit of fruit to get his blood sugar up. However, Andrew in our forum suggested a better option. A spoonful of coconut oil goes directly to you liver to be burned for energy, and if your insulin is low the fat will be partially burned, releasing ketones. Ketones support your brain's need for energy, meaning if you have circulating ketones then low glucose does not necessarily mean that your brain is running out of energy. Also, we incorrectly tallied Tom's quiz score at 5 out of 10. He actually only got 4 out of 10 correct. Maybe that's a good thing!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

The good news is that you can leverage Kraft's research to figure out your risk of diabetes right now with a simple blood test. We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore! Also, Ivor does use a profane phrase (GD) toward the end of his interview. We left it in for effect. Errata: Richard said that of the 54 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) testing low carb vs low fat, that 43 showed that low carb was better, and 26 were significant. The reality is that 47 of those 54 showed that low carb was better and that 27 were significant.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk to "The Fastmaster," Dr. Jason Fung about intermittent fasting (IF), extended fasting (EF), diabetes, insulin, metabolism, and doing the simplest thing that works. A word of warning - Dr. Fung uses salty language for emphasis. Obesity and diabetes are epidemic, we all agree. Dr. Fung focuses on insulin and insulin response rather than on carbs as being the only thing that raises insulin. In his clinic, he has hundreds of patients that are all controlling their insulin, and therefore their diabetes. Fasting is one of the most effective methods that they use.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk about the importance of cooking for yourself. They give their short list of must-have kitchen gear, and also offer cooking techniques for those who don't have a lot of time. This is a fairly long show, jam-packed with tips and techniques to help you get healthy and have more fun in the kitchen! Carl argues that investing time and money in cooking is an investment in your future - analogous to medical expenses. Errata: W mentioned that Muscle weighs more than fat. That's not precisely correct. Muscle is really more dense than fat. 1 litre of muscle weighs more than 1 litre of fat, but it is equally true to say that 1lb of fat takes up more space than 1lb of muscle. So, if you aren't losing weight on the scale grab a tape measure and see if you have lost inches around your belly - that's fat loss and/or muscle gain.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris consider a few epic success stories, including an amazing story from Kassie and Dustin Ewers, a couple who recently both went Keto. Kassie took a bold step that we're not sure any one of us would take. Was she victorious? Of course she was! You'll have to listen to the podcast to get the rest of the story! Errata: Richard mentioned that insulin concentrations of endogenous insulin at the portal vein is 10x greater than at the periphery. The actual value is 3-10 times and a paper explaining the consequences of using exogenous insulin that has to be at hyperinsulinemic levels at the peripheral vessel walls is linked in our show notes.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris ask the 2KD community to relate their NSVs (Non-Scale Victories) or all of the benefits of a ketogenic diet they've noticed other than weight loss. The results may surprise you. The dudes also announced Ketofest 2017, an idea to hold a ketogenic lifestyle festival in July of next year. If you're interested, go to ketofest.com and get on the mailing list. ErrataL Carl mentioned that a ketongenic diet is specifically good for Rheumatoid arthritis(RA), in fact of the two markers tested it only lowered one, but fasting was shown to lower both. So it may well be that fasting, which we know is easer if you are adapted to a ketogenic diet, is your best strategy to deal with RA.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris interview Brenda Zorn, who's been eating keto since 2014, does intermittent fasting and extending fasting, and also lifts weights while fasted. She talks about the many disease markers that have disappeared since going keto, how this way of eating has helped her overcome depression, and how she has yet to reach a limit when lifting weights. She's a true inspiration! Brenda is also an admin in our Facebook group at fb.2keto.com, and runs her own private group, Keto Ninjas.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

In this, the longest 2KD episode yet, Carl and Richard interview Nina Teicholz, author of "The Big Fat Surprise," an award winning book that exposes the politics, bullying, and other malfeasance that led to the suppression of dozens of real randomized trial studies (with real humans - not mice) to determine the danger of eating saturated fat. Guess what the results of all these trials show? You guessed it. Eating saturated fat does not increase the risk of heart disease. Not only that, but eating a well formed high-fat low-carb diet (ketogenic) is protective against heart disease, diabetes, and many other modern ailments. The Big Fat Surprise was named "Science Book of the Year" in 2014 by The Economist.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris try to get to the bottom of why everyone is so afraid of the ketogenic diet, of eating fat, and lowering carbs. Feeling they talk about themselves entirely too much, Carl and Richard turn to the fans this week for stories of ketophobia, both in themselves and others. The dudes also talk to one Carrie Thompson, who has been eating a ketogenic diet for 18 years. Guess what? She's not dead. In fact, she's a model of perfect health. What's up with that?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Ivor Cummins joins Carl and Richard to talk about markers of disease. What should you test for? How do you interpret your results? This is often the first decision one makes when considering a lifestyle change to improve your health. Are there better tests you can do for heart disease risk? (hint, yes!) Errata: Richard said his CAC results post on Facebook were shared 48 times, but it's now been 55 times ... 57 times ... 59 times ... ummm many many times.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Not to be missed.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris talk about the science behind heart disease, a component of cardiovascular disease. What is it? When did it start becoming a real problem? How did it happen? Does a ketogenic diet help mitigate it? Of course, the entire discussion is based on solid science, which they have provided links to. Errata: Richard mentioned the "number needed to treat" or (NTT) for statins is 141. But that is incorrect. The Number needed to treat to save one life for someone who has heart disease is 83. You need to treat 83 people over 5 years with statin therapy to save one life. The NTT to save one life for someone without prior heart disease is 8 because no lives would be saved no matter how many people without heart disease took statins. Carl mentioned that Mahler's bread is only 1 net gram of carbs per slice. There is some controversy around this. Some labels show 5 net carbs and some (including the label on my own loaves) show 1 net carb. We'd like to get to the bottom of this mystery!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl and Richard confront the dreaded plateau, the reason that most people fail on the low-carb diet. In a word, patience. Your body will fight to keep you at your set weight. Maybe it's your gut microbes tugging at your brain. Maybe it's your mitochondria afraid to move on... whatever it is, the dudes have some suggestions and experience to share.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl and Richard interview Tom Seest. Tom is a software developer from Illinois. In 1999 he injured his back falling down stairs. He was always active before the injury, completely stopping all exercise after. He put on weight. A LOT of weight. He estimates he was over 500 pounds. He started an Atkins diet in 2009 and was down to 490 by the end of 2010. He tried various combinations of low-carb, low-fat and low-calorie diets. In April, 2011 he took his first bike ride and went 2 miles. By the end of the month he was up to 20 mile rides. Since then he's logged 21,700 miles, and has cycled all over the US and in many other countries. He managed to drop 200 pounds with a combination of diet and exercise. In January, 2015 he started a ketogenic diet and has taken off an additional 90 pounds! We talk to Tom about his experiences coping with his situation. Errata: Carl mentioned that the fat you eat has no effect on insulin. This is effectively true but technically false. Dietary fat does raise insulin ever so slightly, but the effect is negligible. However, we strive to be accurate!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl and Richard discuss Ketones. What are they? How are they produced? Are they safe? How can we effectively measure our ketone levels? Does it actually matter? All of these questions and more are answered on this episode of 2 Keto Dudes. Errata: We said we'd talk about consuming ketones but we never did. There is evidence that the mere presence of ketones in the blood stream is beneficial for controlling some kinds of cancer (listen to the cancer show from last week) however, taking ketones isn't a short cut to ketosis. It's like instead of going for a run you just cover yourself with sweat. The process of burning fat and creating ketones is where the magic happens. Carl mentioned that mitochondria are organelles in _every_ cell in the body. But there are some cells like red blood cells that lack a mitochondria - which is why they can only ferment glucose for energy and are unable to use fat for energy. Richard said that the Romans discovered that fasting cures epilepsy, but apparently a Greek doctor in the roman empire name Galen of Pergamon was just the first to write down that the Greeks had originally discovered the link noting thati n the book "Epidemics," Hippocrates describes the case of a man whose epilepsy was cured with drastic diet and fasting. Erasistratus, a Greek anatomist and royal physician under Seleucus I Nicator of Syria stated, "One inclining to epilepsy should be made to fast without mercy and be put on short rations."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl and Richard talk to prostate cancer-survivor and friend, Mark Miller. In no way do we intend to claim that the ketogenic diet can cure cancer, but there has been interesting research that shows a correlation between eating a ketogenic diet and reduced tumor size. There's more to the story, and more interventions cited as well. We let Mark tell his story.

Carl and Richard discuss alcohol, how it is metabolized, particularly by those eating a ketogenic diet. They discuss the carbohydrate content of typical drinks, and share a couple yummy keto-friendly cocktail recipes. Errata: Richard said he'd had 3 Bottles of Moët before the show - but it was actually 3 GLASSES of Moët. Also Richard said he didn't know of research substantiating Alcohol inhibiting gluconeogenesis and 5 minutes after we finished recording he found one from Hans Krebs (linked below). Update: May 11, 2016: Carl did an n=1 study on himself by following a 22/2 intermittent fasting pattern for 3 weeks. He ate only dinner, but had drinks with and after dinner. The result was a big plateau. No major weight loss. He then did a 2 day fast and started eating his one meal at lunch time (with no alcohol) saving the drinks for the evening. The results were positive. He started losing a pound a day. His hypothesis: When you drink alcohol your liver stops metabolizing food and focuses on the alcohol. Once all the calories are extracted from the alcohol the liver goes right back to metabolizing food, but now your caloric intake has increased and some of the calories from the food will not be used, and some of the fat will be stored in the fat cells. By giving the body time to process the food intake, you allow the liver to do it's job. More fat gets burned. By the time you introduce alcohol a bigger chunk of your lunch has already been metabolized.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Carl Franklin and Richard Morris research the elusive cholesterol. Is it bad? Good? Why so much bickering? The results may surprise you. Also, Carl got his blood work results after 2 months on the ketogenic diet. There's great news. As far as potentially bad news, that's what was discussed. You guessed it. Cholesterol. Errata: Richard referred to the units for fasting insulin being pico IU, but the correct unit is “microunits per milliliter” (mcU/ml or mIU/ml). Richard also mentioned that the Norwegian Hunt 2 study followed 5,000 individuals for 10 years, but it was actually 50,000 individuals for 10 years. Note: Converting Cholesterol divide mg/dl by 38.67 Note: Converting Triglycerides divide mg/dl by 88.57 When first published on April 11, 2016, this show was linked to episode 8.

Carl and Richard discuss Type 2 Diabetes. How does one get it? Is it reversible? How does it differ from Type 1 Diabetes? How does the medical establishment tell you to manage it? What does the standard recommended diet for Type 2 diabetics look like? These are all questions Carl and Richard tackle on this week's 2 Keto Dudes. Errata: Richard said that a study showed that people with an HbA1c under 8.5 might still be able to see a reversal with an intervention that lowered serum triglycerides - the study was "Very-Low-Calorie Diet and 6 Months of Weight Stability in Type 2 Diabetes: Pathophysiologic Changes in Responders and Nonresponders" and the non-responder group (no reversal of pancreatic burnout) had an HbA1c of 8.4% ± 0.3, the responders (reversal of pancreatic burnout) had an HbA1c of 7.1% ± 0.3 - so if glucose control turns out to be the discriminator the cut off may be between 7.4% and 8.1%.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

This week Richard Morris and Carl Franklin talk about sweeteners other than table sugar, the good and the bad. Errata: Carl mistakenly said that he had an insulin response to the Truvia brand sweetener (Erythritol + Stevia), but in fact it was the Fructevia brand, which combines fructose with Stevia.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Today Richard and Carl geek out on Protein. So much of what they do is separating fact from fiction, and this episode is no different. Did you know that excess protein turns into glucose? Of course, there is science to back all of this up. Good thing the dudes have learned to harness their OCD for the powers of good! Eratta: Carl mentioned that sugars like glucose and fructose trigger an insulin response but only glucose does. Fructose doesn't require insulin to be metabolized. Richard mentioned that after 6 months of keto he was left with "massive" muscles, this is in relation to the muscles he thought he totally didn't have before he started keto.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Richard and Carl talk about their experiences with fasting. You should always consult your doctor before starting a fast. That said, both Carl and Richard had great experiences with fasting. It's not what you think. It's much better. Eratta Richard mentioned that his regular glucose is 5.2 mmol/l and incorrectly converted that to 80 mg/dl which is incorrect. 5.2 mmol/l is actually 93 mg/dl. There is an online tool for converting between mmol/l and mg/dl at http://en.mte.cz/conversion.phpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

This week Carl and Richard talk about fat. Good fats. Bad fats. Fat myths and fat facts. They also talk about Post Induction Stall Syndrome, an expected pause in weight loss that happens around week 2 or 3, and can last for up to 6 weeks. Recipes this week include Carl's Fathead pizza and Richard's pulled lamb shoulder. Errata Richard stated that Almond is high in Omega 6 PUFAs but it is only 12% PUFA and 30% MUFA. If you eat a lot it will contribute a fair amount of OMega 6 PUFAs to your diet, but in small amount it won't likely be a problem. Macadamia Oil however has less than 1% PUFA and 61% MUFA so there really is no reason to not use Macadamia oil.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

This week Carl and Richard talk about insulin - the quarterback of hormones, and one that they have both been producing at champion rates until the moment we went keto. They also talk about salt, minerals, glycogen, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and the various aspects of metabolic syndrome. Recipes this week include Richards Brown Chicken Stock and Carl's Keto-Waffles.

He actually fasted for 382 days, not 250 days.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

Why is sugar so toxic? Is there a difference between how glucose and fructose get metabolized? Carl and Richard answer these and other important questions about sugar on this episode of 2 Keto Dudes. Recipes this week include Pad Thai Chicken from Carl and the Maple Bacon Ice cream from Richard. Errata Richard mistakenly referred to the ancient greeks discovering that Diabetes is related to sugar by tasting it .... actually that's not true. In 1674, it was English physician Thomas Willis discovered that the urine of a diabetic Patient was "wonderfully sweet as if imbued with Honey". The ancient greeks however first noticed that people who had diabetes had insatiable thirst and peed all the time - so the name diabetes is greek for "Siphon". They have a sense of humor those ancient greeks. Richard said (11:25) that "Lustig says ... that fructose causes insulin sensitivity" ... but of course he intended to say "fructose causes the insulin resistance that ultimately makes glucose an acute poison"Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/2-keto-dudes/donations

In the premiere episode of 2 Keto Guys Carl and Richard bring you up to speed on the science and common sense behind the ketogenic diet.
