What do you guys consider a high glucose number? I like mine under 100. In the 80s is better. 70s feels a bit religious
I felt terrible on keto. People kept saying to stay with it for 18 months. After 24 months, felt worse and my blood tests looked considerably worse. Went back to carbs…everything is better. There is no one size fits all for humans.
After 2 years of strict carnivore, I ate my first carbs about a week ago. I had 3 binge eating attacks since then (granted, I just came off a long calorie deficit). I'm going right back to keto because I can't control myself when I eat sweet things.
I did lose weight on it but I started getting cramps. So I was listening to my body. I am introducing blueberries and fruits. Taking slow but honestly, I felt healthy eating fruit again. I’ll see how it goes. I won’t miss the leg cramps at night.
Keto & carnivore screwed me up so bad …. So dehydrated me no matter what I did ! My gut microbiome suffered so much too . Bad heart palps major anxiety attacks ! Added some fruit and Whole Foods carbs back in and I immediately improved ❤
Why did he never eat a banana, or fruits in general, for the 3 years on keto?
Keto changed my life
Healing wayyy faster clear minded. I have adhd.
But…. I’m also losing 30 pounds
So I might feel differently when I reach that goal
ENMESHMENT TRAUMA:
1. Extreme sense of guilt/shame/fear/terror when deviating from family
2. Struggle to differentiate whose feelings are whose (within the family)
3. Suppression/repression of thoughts/feelings/opinions/emotions (that differ from those around you)
4. Operating under a false social mask (because of shame)
5. Family of origin has a strong 'us versus them' mentality
6. Unexpressed/suppressed needs, anticipating needs of others, resenting when others don't reciprocate
7. Struggle to understand what a boundary even is
8. When your family offers you support, they are actually creating a line of (co)dependency
9. Viewing keeping quiet about dysfunctional/abusive behaviors, as a sign of love
10. Finding it threatening/confusing/bewildering to see people act in secure ways
Steps to FREEDOM/healing
and not giving a fuck –
★ identify/know your priorities/values, and LIVE THEM OUT LOUD
★ STOP seeking validation/approval
★ say NO (allow others to be/feel UNCOMFORTABLE! it's not your job to make them comfortable!)
★ set boundaries/radical honesty ALWAYS, ALL WAYS
★ embrace discomfort/do the damn thing
★ detach from outcomes
I can't fucking believe it!
I'm just discovering/realizing
for the first time in my 45 years of life…
The rage and grief I feel…
THESE ARE MY SUPERPOWERS!
The fact that I can feel these at all,
this alone, is my superpower!
It is sacred it is divine it is feminine it is miraculous.
Most are too numb to know or to feel.
But I know. And I feel.
This has all been in preparation for my mission
as an alchemist.
I am a Lioness.
I am a Goddess.
I am a Radically Honest Biker Bitch!
Holy heaven I am mind-blown!
HALLEUJAH! AND PRAISE THE LORD!
“One does not become enlightened
by imagining figures of light,
but by making the darkness: conscious.
Until you make the unconscious: conscious, it will direct your life
and you will call it fate.” ~ Carl Jung
You’re more than a Queen.
Not that a Queen is limiting
because that’s the highest highness
of a most intelligent courageous beauty
amongst women.
You do embody a perfect emanating expression of a Queen.
The icing on the cake is your Divine limitlessness
that is in tune with her being. You’re evolution.
Thank you for sharing and expressing.
I sense your passion for yourself
and your passion for standing for justice
of your worth.
I’m grateful for the love you have for yourself.
You’re badass.
When I got trapped in the 2nd dimension after smoking salvia,
I believed that my external surroundings was a conscious entity that was separate from me.
Upon transcending that 2D hell, I realized that what I had believed to be a separate entity
that was oppressing me and keeping me trapped in that 2D world, was not separate at all, it was me.
To become free, all I had to do was realize that.
On coming back to this 3D world, the realization came with me,
I realized that other people are not separate from me,
we're all the same consciousness, its an illusion that makes it appear like we could ever be separate, independent entities and that illusion is the source of all suffering.
Love is the natural state of the unity beyond this illusion of separation,
love is the reality of what we are.
Spiritual ecstasy is our natural state.
May all beings awaken from this egoic nightmare.
May all beings be liberated from this self imposed prison of the mind.
May all beings remember that we are one unified consciousness experiencing itself
through an illusion of separation…
I am drowning
constantly
perpetually raped
frozen in time
raped by terror
terror never leaves my body
I'm in hell and there's no escape
I want to die but I'm terrified of death
I desperately want to escape
every single day
I live a life of utter hell and suffering
no way out of this hell
I'm desperate for help
I'm desperate for escape
I am dying on the inside
buried alive
cannot breathe
terrified
in the dark
alone
please help me, Jesus
please stay with me, Jesus
please heal me, Jesus
and what should I call you, my beloved father?
Abba? Yasus? Yeshua? Yahweh?
beloved angels,
of the unnamed 144,000
those that are good and kind and benevolent and powerful
and doing the loving work of Jesus'…
thank you.
I love you.
please be with me, always, all ways.
“Wisdom tells me I am nothing.
Love tells me I am everything.
And between the two, my life flows…”
– Nisargadatta Maharaj
You arrive here alone. You will die here alone. Follow no one.
Your "friend" leaves? Let them leave. Do not follow.
Life comes to you. Don't go after Life. You don't need to.
HSP/me:

I am one with the Divine.
I experience, peace, love, and joy.
I experience everything as grace.
I understand the deeper truth of suffering.
I am at peace. I honor the Divine within me.
You are invited
to lay all your troubles,
burdens, traumas, pains,
miseries, fears, terrors…
At the feet of Jesus.
Go BOLDLY
before your Abba
and tell Him everything
that is burning inside of you.
He will exchange it all for His yoke,
which is light and airy
and fully of wondrous miraculous joy.
YOU have the EXACT SAME POWER
that raised Christ from the dead
living dormant, not-yet-awakened, inside of you.
Let The Father tell you, show you:
the truth of who you are.
1. ONLY people who speak life into you (NEVER EVER let any other kind of person have ANY access to you!)
2. Keep hearing the Word and renewing your mind
3. Do not let fear creep in—you are made in the image of God
4. Marry the right man (YOU ARE THE QUEEN. Daughter of the most High; King of kings!)
5. God’s Word is the truth, and you can depend on it. By Jesus’ stripes, you are healed.

DO and eat whatever it takes to get strong blood work….
I eat 85 grams of carbs each day. Its not fully keto, but low-carb. Works well. I fast 1 day each week, like 30 hours about.
Great interview. I recently stepped away from keto. I felt so crumby
Look, you all aren’t going to die because you ate some carbs lol
It's encouraging to hear Peter talk about evolving dietary strategies and the importance of finding what works best for the individual long-term, rather than adhering rigidly to any one approach. It seems the key takeaway is mindful eating and continuous self-assessment.
Sounds like some semite coward…
Keto wasnt for you. Sorry to hear that.
Us Caucasiods are fine, just fine…
My severe insulin resistance does not allow me to eat more than 20-30 g of carbs daily. I feel good though!
Very honest vid. Thank you. Personally being in ketosis is my super power but I get how it's not for everyone.
I did keto to kick start weight loss from COVID. Once I hit my goals I went back to eating carbs (I eat rice and beans/lentils almost everyday) and I love pasta.
If you are lifting/exercising frequently carbs will always be your friend.
I felt worse on it. Felt deprived but my mind had no happiness, I tried it 3 times, over years, same thing, lost a kilo, I eat clean anyway but I won’t attempt keto again.
If I want to lose body fat, I imagine that keeping the carbs and protein <=target (I'm using Chronometer free version) that the rest of my energy will come from my body fat. People with ideal physique like Peter will benefit from eating the rainbow, getting all the phytonutrients etc more easily.
I'd like to ease off when I drop a few more kg, but what of the mental and anti-cancer benefits – I'm 65 so looking seriously at health span extension 🙂
The Bodybuilding diet, is THE VERY BEST AND HEALTHIEST! 💪🙂👍
Love this video
Food For Life breads are packaged & EXTREMELY healthy.
Balance, Whole Foods, GOOD SLEEP, lower stress (bad stress), Laugh a lot! = good insulin levels = good health and body weight = no anxiety or depression.
Why nobody cares.
How many grams of fat per day on carbs?
In 2013 at the age of 52 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and sky high blood pressure. I was in horrible pain, but was not overweight or eating a bad diet. Just a normal omnivore diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. After a horrible 10 months on vast amounts of medication and strong pain killers (Tramadol) and feeling like a zombie, I did some research of my own. I read some studies on my conditions and the effects of a whole food plant based diet. I decided to try it and stopped eating any animal products. I ate large amounts of potatoes and beans and greens and fruits and every morning oats as Bircher Müsli. I drank about a litre of soy milk a day. The effect was mind blowing 🤯 Within 4 weeks I was pain free and had reduced my medication by half. Another 4 weeks and I was off all meds except a low dosage of blood pressure medication.
My GP was sceptical at first, and still is in awe. He has me come in every 6 months for a full blood test on literally everything possible to test. Every 3 years he sends me to a dexascan for bone density. And always the result is the same: “Perfect on all counts!”. And that despite of the fact that my father has severe T2D and his mother passed away from T2D. My mother had severe osteoporosis and in my late 40s I was told that my x-ray showed the onset of it. Also in my late 40s was told I was pre-diabetic.
I’m still completely vegan on a WFPB diet, I’m going to be 64 in 2 months, and I’m fit and healthy, and feel better than ever.
I don’t eat a lot of highly processed foods, but I do eat vegan ice cream, dark chocolate, and occasionally crisps. Just not a lot. 😉
Refined sugars are bad, complex carbohydrates are good 😊

WHY IS LIFE SO FUCKING PAINFUL AND HARD?
why must I suffer so damn much?
why can't I succeed in my chosen profession,
even though I'm SO SKILLED and TALENTED and EDUCATED???
why can I NEVER EVER have a real friend,
even though I'm an amazing and wonderful person?
WHY OH WHY have I had to deal with 45 years
of hell and bullying and abuse and torment and torture?
WHY CAN I NEVER HAVE TRUE LOVE?
45 YEARS OLD and I've only ever been in a series of abusive situation-ships.
and the AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL man I paid a shit-ton of money to, to help me…
ended up also abusing me. It's been over 11 months,
and I don't stop ruminating and obsessing about what he did to me,
and whether or not I should file a formal complaint against this HORRIFIC so-called therapist…
but a formal complaint may just end up traumatizing me further!
I am raped
by red hot white burning
homicidal rage
and suicidal grief.
I need a miracle
I pray for a miracle
my life completely needs to change
only in the best possible ways
