Carl Franklin and Richard Morris discuss a few of their favorite movies on the subject of nutrition. Following that, the conversation turns to hunger, the difference between real hunger and carb cravings, and strategies for helping you recognize the difference. They also answer questions about keto without a gall bladder, and as usual, provide a couple killer keto recipes. Errata: Richard said that the body makes carboxylic acid to lower the bodies pH, but it is carbonic acid (H2CO3) that is made in respiratory system and the concentrations managed by your kidneys.

This week, 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. 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.

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.

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.
