  • Nora Gedgaudas used to believe a plant-based diet was the healthiest. That belief got turned upside down when she spent a summer studying wolves near the North pole. "We are fundamentally ice-age hunter-gatherers," states the nutritionist and author of Primal Body, Primal Mind. She points out that our genes are 99.9% the same as our ancestors - they haven't yet adapted to the relatively recent agriculturally-based lifestyle based on grains. As a result, our bodies have no need for dietary carbohydrates. By contrast, "Fat, to us means survival.... Dietary fat is the most nutrient-dense thing we can consume, rich in fat-soluble nutrients, and essential for the functioning of our brain and nervous systems." Episode 260.

    Very nice video, I tried veganism in the past and the results were devastating for my health and looks, the paleo diet really changed my life, I'm so happy with it, never felt better.

      My body needs 50 to 60 grams of plant-based protein each day - if you failed to include plant-based protein in your vegan diet, you cheated yourself of experiencing the best life possible. Plant-based protein includes beans, lentils, nuts, peas, protein powders, etc. I'm an old woman - a Doctoral Scholar - enjoying the highest quality of work I've ever known - my diet includes red and green nutritional powders which provide the essential vitamins A, B, C, D and E ... I also take an additional high quality B complex and D liquid, as well as Vitamin E oil on my skin to prevent dryness and wrinkles. The ladies in the video above do not look happy, energetic or passionate about life - they look tired and boring.

    The real issue is real foods, as they appears in nature. Wild, wooly and wonderful. Eat wild and thrive. Most of what the grocery stores sell is highly processed and sugar laden to please the overly fickle palette of the SAD. We give our children sugar at a very early age because it is fun. Birthdays, holidays - all celebrated with candy, cakes and sweets. That child becomes addicted to the taste and rush of refined carbohydrate, and that is the goal of Big Food - get em young and own em for a life. And with comes the diseases and disorders, which benefits Big Pharma and Big Medicine with all it's drugs surgery and "healthcare." And there comes Big Government to save us all from our sins, but ends up bleeding us to death with taxation and regulation. It is the American Scream in all it's glory!

    Honestly, high fat diets have always seemed to work better for me. My brain runs like complete shit on a mostly carb diet. Having a veggie omelette cooked in coconut oil with a small dish of blueberries or a banana on the side for breakfast is fine, but if I just do just a fruit smoothie, or a waffle, or something of that nature, I eventually crash, and become light-headed, weak, even irritable.

    Pemmican is great, I confirm. And I've been experimenting with a high fat very low carb "diet" (I try and avoid grains as much as possible but still eat them on occasion) for months now and I'm feeling better than ever. I don't feel like eating carbs as long as I eat enough fat.

    This false dichotomy of meat vs carbs is misleading. A vegetable-based diet with nuts and seeds, and some tubers like sweet potatoes is neither, nor is it low fat, and is shown to be the basis of all long lived populations.

    Not to dismiss the experiences of Janaia and her guest, I have to wonder. Wonder if an ancient diet without the remainder of the ancient lifestyle is a good balance. Have to wonder if this diet without balance in time reveal it's shortcoming. Also wonder how this diet would fit in a post peak world. CAFO would still be needed to supply a carnivorous diet, their output probably is unlikely animal fats and proteins that the ancient diet provided.

  • @gregvisioninfosoft

    Nora, if you are still monitoring questions on this page... I have a question. To first say, I am aware of the clinical results that Dr Zsofia Clemens presents. So this to say, I am a believer of this fat/meat diet. But that being said, my question is another way of commenting about how our DNA has not changed much for the past from our ancestors. Is it not generally true that within the animal kingdom, carnivores usually have pronounced incisors for teeth. Why then do not modern humans have teeth more like vampires? This is just an interesting theoretical point of discussion I am interested to get some insights into.

  • @Mikalyn715
    @Mikalyn715 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So, I realize that for alot of northern hemisphere cultures (which is most); that plants were unavailable in the quantity needed to be a dietary staple and that these ancestors got most protein from meats and fish and the sacred oil that you mention, which is most of the time a fermented animal oil. But to say that all wild plants are toxic or contain anti-nutrients makes me sad as a plant person, what about nuts such as hazelnuts and walnuts eaten in China. Here where I am from in Washington State on the west coast the native people lived on fish and shellfish, but native wild plants were also a central and significant part of that diet. They ate Lilies (Camas root, tiger lily), wild carrots, fern roots which they ground into a flour type of consistency, and of course the wapato...a marsh dwelling starchy tuber similar to a potato that the natives ate regularly.
    Not saying that these wild plants could have sustained the people in a climate like this, but it felt a bit like you skipped over the significance of native ecology and the relationship that humans had with plants in their diet...as they were an integral part of the culture of food surrounding these ancient tribes. And, as the macrofauna disappeared and climate changed they began to lean more heavily and even to cultivate these things...which led to the beginning of agriculture.
    One more thing about grains. The way that grains were traditionally harvested actually made them easier to digest through slight fermentation. The stalks were gathered in cone-like piles and left to dry out in the sun for three or four days...the sun would cause the oils in the grain to slightly ferment, making them easier to digest. We don't do that anymore to our grains.
    Life is a story of change and adaptation, we have adapted from our highly carnivorous roots and we did so long ago. The only thing wrong with what people eat today is that it's highly processed, not actually food 'food like subtance', and/or it's been raised in an uphaulingly degraded state in filth, muck, and antibiotics like so much of our animal product today.
    All that being said and me still being a child of agriculture and loving my bread and butter. I have had a vast improvement in energy from cutting out alot of gluten...and that has continued to be a dietary direction for me is less gluten. period. So, Thanks for all the info...Love it and thanks Peak Moment!!!

    Not that it matters, but the public perception of fat, thankfully, is changing. The "low-fat" dietary fad is doomed.
    We not only do better eating fat (including saturated fat), but are also dependent on it for our survival.
    Nora does an excellent job on explaining in lay terms, the rationale behind it.

      joe bolan Take a look at David Perlmutter's Grain Brain. Most of us are not "functioning just fine" on a 70% carb diet. Gluten is especially pernicious, but also sugars and starches -- at increasing inflammation and causing insulin resistance. He says that Alzheimers, now dubbed Diabetes type 3, starts in our twenties but doesn't show up until later in life. Preventable by stopping glutens.
      So we may appear to be doing just fine for decades...even as body processes are compromised.

Something needs to change and if we all work together, we might just be able to reverse the ill health of the planet and all the life forms that live upon it.

    I wonder how if people that follow this diet can say that they are in and out of the bathroom every day in under 90 seconds. I have had this experience every single day for 2 years since I went from vegetarian to vegan. My bowels work so beautifully now, that I can't even believe it. Does this diet provide that same ease and benefit for your bowel system?

      No problems with bowels here, on a low carb primal diet. Since you brought it up, typically go twice a day, takes maybe 60 secs, minus hand-washing. You don't need to eat grains, etc....to poop. I eat more vegetables, nuts and seeds now than I did during my prior vegetarian years. I just eat them with lots of fats and moderate amounts of meat/fish. It's a great way to live.

    I was brought up with having cereal or bread every morning for breakfast.
    Look at all the commercials for breakfast cereals. it's bombarded on us that we HAVE to have grains.
    I have a autoimmune disease, chronic pain and fatigue and i have been eating gluten free for a year hoping it would help me. There has been only a minor improvement so I've been thinking I need to cut out more. Maybe all grains entirely and dairy.
    Just this week I decided to start
    my mornings with an egg or fish with some stir fry vegetables.
    I have had a lot more energy and felt satiated with the protein breakfast.
    I'm going to find more Paleo friendly recipes so I can have a variety.
    The good thing is I like fruit and veggies and have no problem with eating animal protein though I'm going to be more conscious of the source and buy organic and grass fed when I can.
    One time I went vegetarian for a whole year.
    It didn't help my health condition at all.
    Maybe a modified Paleo way would work for me personally.
    I like quinoa. And it is a seed. But I've read it's a pseudo grain and not encouraged on the Paleo diet though some people do eat it.
    I think having some quinoa and some beans once a week is something I would do.
    The thing with these "diets" or "lifestyles"
    That come out in the media.
    People become obsessed and want to be super strict with the "rules" and leave no room for compromise somewhere.
    Listen to your body. Take note of how you feel when you eat certain foods. What works for one may not work for another. I do not think there's a one size fits all.
    We are like birds. not all birds eat the same thing to survive but they are still a bird.
    Flamingoes eat shrimp and an owl eats a mouse and a house sparrow eats seeds.
    That's us.

    It is an interesting idea, but if the hunter gatherers did not live very long (40 years according to archaeologists?) it does not seem worth aspiring to. Why copy an unhealthy lifestyle just because it might be part of our tradition.

    • @PublicAwarenessMedia
      @PublicAwarenessMedia 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Average mortality rate of hunter-gatherers is just that: Average. So it includes the multitude of infants dying due to infection before ever reaching childhood, much less adulthood.
      In fact, evidence suggests that those who made it past infancy lived full lives until finally just dying, with lifespans -- far more quality-rich -- similar to ours in modern times.

    • @simongbrown
      @simongbrown 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      PublicAwarenessMedia Although that is an issue now, the archeological evidence is based on the age at which adults died using fully formed skeletons. IE it is not the average lifespan, but actual lifespan of various skeletons found. If you have archeological evidence of longer lifespans than say people living in Okinawa I would be very interested in reading it. Otherwise it would make more sense to explore the Okinawan diet, or those of other cultures currently enjoying longevity and low incidence of degenerative illness. Currently all those cultures include grains in their diets and have for many generations.

      its both. they are related, its never this or that. for example, more fat, more saitated.. less calories. Or, more fat in diet, less insulin stimulation and/or at least more steadied release, and therefore less development of metabolic dysfunction aka lower basal metabolic rate and can get away eating more calories.
