Ep:08 Going Sideways - by Robert Cywes

1. Define yourself as Keto. 2. Turn yourself into a total carnivore for 3 - 5 days. 3. Add intermittent fasting. 4. Tap into your emotional management system for endorphin support. 5. Use your bridge(s) in lieu of snacking. BRAVO, Dr. Cywes!

"Let me tell you something you already know. The carbs ain't all sunshine and rainbows. I don't care how tough you are, carbs will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let them. It's not about how much carbs call out to you, keep eating fats and protein and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." Dr. Robert Cywes

Can you imagine the people that haven't heard this and continue thinking that they're at fault for their carb addiction? How sad that our societies are built on food that literally makes people sick and kills them, and they don't even know it.

These YT videos do not do justice to the level of passion and depth of knowledge that Dr. Cywes possesses. Podcasts such as Low Carb MD and others give Dr. Cywes the room to really stretch his legs and it's a real eye opener. Huge fan now, Dr. Cywes really digs into the nitty gritty of the biology and metabolic pathways involved in LC eating and disease pathology.

I love this man! You can tell when a person cares more for your health than money for their wallet. Too many other doctors and lay people will CHARGE US for valuable information he’s been providing. Thank you, sir 👏🏽

the best thing i have found now off carbs, is the hunger is different, when someone says are you hungry I say ya but I don't have to eat. now i'm able to go 18hours easy. GUITAR!!!!! all the time lol....

As a carb addict when I found keto it was a godsend. I lost nearly 60lbs after struggling with my weight for over a decade. Following the keto way of eating every ailment I suffered with previously disappeared or improved dramatically. The small justifications for sweets like chewing gum or bingeing on artificial sweetness aka “carb creep” typically led to falling off the wagon for months at a time. I’ve gained all of the weight back and now lack motivation to following the keto protocol. It is abundantly clear to me now that complete abstinence is my only recourse. I work in a drug treatment center and Doc is right regarding addicts being unable to moderate the use of their drug of choice. Complete abstinence is the only real solution as the alternative is a lifetime of yo-yo behaviors and negative consequences.

Literally eating a plate of ground beef and butter as I watch this. Another great video, thanks Dr Cywes!

I have adopted the "bridge" concept. Best advice EVER!!!!

Thank you for doing this video. A coworker recommended it to me, it was just what I needed. I recently fell off the Keto wagon a few months back. I was doing so good, no sugars and almost nill in carbs and exercising. I am Hispanic, genetic type II diabetic. After making the decision to go Keto, after three months, i lost 30 lbs, went from glucose level of 250 to ranging between 90-120. My A1C went from 11 down to 6. The most amazing part was I did this in three months , without taking any Metformin. Unfortunately I fell off, gained much of my weight back and now feel sluggish. After watching your video, I know exactly what I have to do, because I did it before. Your advise to go carnivore for 3-5 days is the perfect Jumpstart I needed. I will be viewing more of your videos to help guide me in the future. Thanks again.

I love how you use the word bullshit, You are so so correct on Addiction! I love your attitude!

I knew the carnivore mentality was helping me manage better at home, but I didn't know why. Great explanation and logic. Thanks.

Part of my emotion management is listening to Dr Cyves, binging on “food for thought.”

"Nobody just uses heroine on Tuesdays" Gotta love this guy 🤣

I found your channel two weeks ago as a recommendation. I have to say you have been the most informative and down to earth practitioner of the keto lifestyle that I have viewed, and believe me I have watched many "Gurus" who I thought were just shilling products and not providing solid information. I started my keto journey a little over a year ago and I have found it to be the most trans-formative experience in my life. Thank you for your advice and constant encouragement in making keto a lifestyle. I am looking forward to seeing all your videos.

I've been Keto carnivore since Nov 1st. I ate a toffee biscuit for the first time this week. It's all I can think about now. I've decided to fast for 3 days to shake the feeling.

"And yes, boredome is a common emotional event." Profound.

Rob you are a genius. A remarkable man. Just incredible. You should be so proud of your mission.

Ended up coming across this in my recommended vids. I really needed to hear this

Words can't express my gratitude for Dr. Cywes and his perspective. It still astounds me that he can impact (and save) the lives of folks he's never met before. Thanks to you, I'm standing fast and I'm planning for my success because I've acknowledged that regardless of the dose, "drugs" (sugar and starch) can't be a part of my life -- EVER!
