Dr. Arthur Agatston, the creator of the South Beach Diet, has enhanced the plan to be compatible with the popular keto diet, which focuses on burning fats instead of carbohydrates for rapid weight loss. In this podcast episode, Dr. Agatston discusses his inspiration for developing the South Beach Diet, including his observation of the benefits of low-carb diets in the late 80s. The original South Beach Diet became popular because it was simple and effective, but Dr. Agatston admits that his thinking has changed with time and new research. He shares some changes to the diet, including the importance of fat adaptation and the negative effects of frequent snacking on insulin levels. The new keto-friendly version of the South Beach Diet focuses on reducing insulin levels through strict keto, intermittent fasting, and minimizing snacking.

Dr. Gundry and his guest, Dr. Arthur Agatston, discuss the misconceptions and myths surrounding nutrition and fat intake. Both “old-timers” and experts in the field delve into the science and research that has led to a shift in thinking about what constitutes a healthy diet.
One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the revelation that high cholesterol may not be the best indicator of heart disease. This challenges the long-held belief that saturated fat is the enemy and sheds light on the ineffectiveness of low-fat diets.
Instead, they recommend a low-carb, keto-friendly diet promoting efficient fat-burning and blood sugar regulation. They also discuss the importance of incorporating healthy fats into your diet, like omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and grass-fed beef.
The conversation also touches on the pitfalls of veganism and the role of fruit in a healthy diet. They caution against using “heart-healthy” oils like canola and soybean, which do more harm than good. Instead, they recommend using avocado oil or grass-fed ghee.
For those experiencing the dreaded “keto flu,” they share a simple remedy involving a teaspoon of salt in water. They also warn against the dangers of water fasting.
Ultimately, their conversation challenges the mainstream narrative, leading to increased obesity, diabetes, and other health problems. They believe we can achieve better health outcomes and improve our overall well-being by focusing on a low-carb, high-fat diet.
