Here’s a damn simple one line sentence to fix food decisions. “What foods did we evolve over millions of years to eat?” Well, eat that! Ffs, an entire doco to say that!?!
I have been studying this for 20 years, since I first studied evolutionary biology and realised our dietary advice doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And I came to the conclusion that the problem is the fact that our "heath" authorities are now far more concerned with political and economic agendas, than they are with actual health.
Agreed. To stay healthy, all I have to do is to eat healthy fat and protein , stay away from man made stuff like seed oil and ignore my PCP’s diet advices;)
@@ascendtoaesthetics Humans are omnivores, but throughout ancient history, before we became agriculturalists 20,000 years ago, we were mostly carnivorous. We have archeological digs that support this, although there seems to be a lot of effort to dispute this recently (i.e vegan propaganda), which appears to be politically/economically motivated. Imagine being a hunter-gatherer 20,000 years ago - I don't think you will be able survive on plant-based food if you are foraging in the wild, and certainly in the winter the only available food source will be animals. And no, I don't follow a strict diet, but I try to avoid any type of food that didn't exist 100 years ago.
@@leandrocaara I think you are confusing politically/economically motivated vegan propaganda, with actual science. Imagine you are a human 20,000 years ago - what are you going to eat in the winter?
I don't listen to information that doesn't make sense to me at all. At the beginning of 2023, I was taking high blood pressure medication and suffering from pain related to Osteoarthritis and Degenerative disc disease and I discovered that I was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver in 2021 that no one told me about. So on January 13th, I completed changed my diet to only include whole foods, I stopped using ketchup, mayonnaise and salad dressing, I limited my daily carbohydrate intake, I started drinking only water and I stopped using processed oils or butter and replaced them with cold pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil and grass fed butter. Within 2 months, I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication and the majority of my pain was gone. I was able to start walking my dog on a daily basis, starting out slow at first at a mile and now we are up to 3.3-4.3 miles depending on the route we take.
I did the same thing. I had back trouble and debilitating gut issues. The doctors went right to removing my gullblader. I cut the seed oils, processed grains and meat. The hardest to avoid is the highly refined sugar. Even in products that advertise as no sugar still have dextrose in them. It is amazing how much pain relief you get just from eating better.
That bit was taken out of context. He was talking about Walter Kempners rice diet who cured people with type 2 diabetes and sky high blood pressure back in the 30s using white rice fruit, fruit juice and sugar. Look it up.
@@sheriffphotoThis is illogical. If eating sugar (or starch) raises blood glucose, which it does, and raised blood sugar causes insulin to rise, which it does in order to get the glucose outbid the blood stream, ingesting any food that raises blood sugar would be dangerous for folks who are diabetic. It’s just basic chemistry.
@theskyehiker Type 2 diabetes is caused by too much fat. Weight loss reduces insulin resistance, and if the pancreas isn't completely f***ed Type 2 can be cured.
@@theskyehiker One theory is that diabetes is caused by PUFA causing damage to the mitochondria. If you adopted an ultra low PUFA diet (white rice and fruit don't have PUFA), you could theoretically reverse it.
I don't think it matters whether you eat meat or not, or whether you eat low or high fat. Eat REAL food, not processed, a lot less sugar, and don't overeat.
Eat in a calorie deficit. That's it. Easier to do with higher protein, more vegetables and fruits, less refined carbs. But the food doesn't matter. The deficit is the thing that counts.
@@AllTheArtsy You've completely missed the point. Why would you say the food doesn't matter when so many 'good' foods spike your blood sugar sky high and mess people right up? You are really lost if you think that the food 'doesn't matter".
@@AllTheArtsy calories DON'T matter in human nutrition. I'll explain the facts here - calories are determined by placing whatever food into a machine called a bomb calorimeter. That machine uses FIRE to burn whatever food, that's how we know the number of "calories". Do humans create fire anywhere in their bodies? No. Plain and simple fact. So please explain how humans can get calories from any food, without fire? Humans create/use stomach acid and enzymes to break food down into carbs, proteins and fats. No calories at all.
It DOES matter if someone eats meat or not. "whole food vegans" get sick more often than not from only eating plants. The regular people that you don't hear about who are vegan quit because they got sick. The "influencers" either lie or continue suffering because they've made being vegan top priority for their income, etc.
Carnivore for 6 months and it changed my life forever. Never going back to raw veg smoothies. Feel great after 33 years of always being hungry, bloated and in a bad mood.
I am vegan for ten years now, but the relaxed kind. I pay attention to have all the micro nutritions. Dont follow everything like the bible and i am healty as well,feeling very comfortable. I dont want to sacrify my ethic and ecological behaviour just for animalic food. What did you feel after u started ur vegan diat? I am sure had had a good feeling like after u went carnivore again.
@@minimalistvlogger3467 Exactly. I've had most of my success from doing the above, and making sure my carbs are coming from fruits/vegetables, not refined sugars.
you can try a vegan diet for 30 days then try a carnivore diet for 30 days and decide for yourself. Think about it like this, depending how old you are, say 30, you've lived 10,950 days so what's 30 days of trying a new diet.
All I know is that at 70 years old, I effortlessly lost 70 pounds on the keto diet in the last 6 months and have never felt better in my life. My psoriasis has magically disappeared and my energy level is consistently high throughout the day. I just joined a gym and have been going every day, lifting weights like I'm 40 years old again. My only regret is that I didn't find keto sooner.I finally stopped going downhill and I'm enjoying life to the fullest.
@@FinickyGreek Try it, watch Dr. Berg on TH-cam, I was 33, tired morbidly obese. I found Dr. Berg, did what he said and it's amazing! Keto and intermittent fasting is the way we were MEANT to eat ! We were NEVER built to eat carbs besides a few berries and fruit at the end of summer going into winter.....
@@samanthaporter6662 this is not entirely true. I have been keto and carnivore dieter, the carbs is not really the issue they way you think it is. Natural carbs are abundant in nature, especially in a fast absorbing way. It's the "modern" carbs that raises your insulin very fast (glycemic index). Some people are still in ketosis eating carbs. Some genetics are even more carb adapted, yamnaya people drank milk (carb source). The optimal diet is carnivore + very high fiber foods. It's typically traditional foods. Over time your physiology will become more metabolically adapted. Look for your ancestry what they are, try to replicate and see the result. Italians are very skinny eating loads of carbs. There is a much wider spectrum of truth in the real world
@@samanthaporter6662 that unfortunately isn’t true. Ancestors mostly did eat seasonal fruits and veg as found in many excavations of preserved human stomachs. Meat was few and far between and would likely be in abundance for a few days while it was fresh. Everyone is trying to say one food is better than another but it’s not that simple. The body’s digestive tract is designed to get the best out of plants. It’s long to maximise nutrient absorption. If you cut out the highly processed crap you should be fine to eat whatever. It’s all about calories in and out and balance. This proposed living off pure meat is insane and will end up killing people with the organs having to process all the toxic build up of keytones
Really excellent documentary! I live in Ireland 🇮🇪. I went Keto and intermittent fasting and WOW! I eat butter, red meat (not much as I just prefer eggs and cheese!) lots of cream, a lot of Rocket ((arugula), walnuts, pistachios and supplements. It’s amazing how I finally feel human after years of feeling hangry and generally meh 🫤, so now HAPPY CENTRAL! I wish everyone knew this!! ☘️🍀🇮🇪😎👏👏👏💪
The longest lived, healthiest people in the world in the Blue Zones eat a variety of diets but most aren't highly keto-based. What they have in common is avoiding all processed, chemically laden foods and high amounts of sugars and eating freshly sourced foods. This doesn't need to be a keto vs. vegan argument. Why not eat a balanced diet including appropriate amounts of all healthy foods sources? This battle of diets just promotes division.
The problem...of course is that people are ALREADY addicted to this processed garbage. We're already suffering from a myriad of health issues that Keto/low-carb/carnivore diets fixes and eliminates. I'm sure you wouldn't offer a former smoker or alcoholic some smokes and whisky once they've managed to kick their addictions now would you?
Totally. Being in a chronic state of ketosis is absurd, but not quite as problematic as being in a chronic hyperinsulinemic state. Folks in Blue Zone, Inuit, Maasai, Hadza, and other more ancestrally appropriate societies have one thing in common: dipping in and out of a mild ketosis. Nothing at clinical, cancer therapeutic levels, but far from constantly elevated glucose. Since eating more animal foods (protein/fat) and limiting other more processed or plant foods, I’ve found myself in this transitory, mildly ketogenic state.
There are a TON of people who can't afford the "healthy" foods. I have finally leveled up but before hand I needed to buy the processed foods because the other stuff was 2-4 times more expensive for far less food. Even worst for a family. The system needs to change before people can.
I finally listened to my doctor who told me low carb would be great for me to try bc I have PCOS; im amazed. My energy levels are so stable, I've never been so un-hungry, and my period has a better flow but I have less PMS symptoms. Im hooked.
When I started seeing my endocrinologist I followed their recommendations. First low carb and then transition to Keto. My A1C started dropping along with the weight. I do intermittent fasting as well. So far down from 352 lbs to 162 lbs this morning. My A1C is at 5.3 as of May. Already off 2 diabetes meds, 1 blood pressure med, and antacids. Working to come off metformin and another blood pressure med. Yes, I exercise too.
Bee, can you tell me more? My girlfriend thinks she may have PCOS, has heavy painful flow. She eats a lot of carbs. I had not heard before of a link. We would be interesting to hear what you found.
@@pubwvj sure! If she thinks she has PCOS i HIGHLY recommend she sees a Fertility Specialist. It may be expensive and she'll to get A LOT of tests and bloodwork but its worth it. For years I saw OBGYNs and no one ever even mentioned to test me for PCOS and I suffered most of my life bc of that. So, find a well-rated Fertility Specialist in your area that accepts her insurance and start there. From what I understand about PCOS is that because of the hormonal imbalance, this could cause issues with insulin that could lead to diabetes if not managed. So thats why eating low carb is recommended bc it causes fewer insulin spikes. Plus, hormones benefit from dietary fat and can be negatively impacted by carbohydrates. So, if she goes low carb, its a good idea for her to increase her dietary fat, protein, and fiber from non-starchy veggies so she feels full/satisfied and it won't turn into a crash diet. She can Google "low carb recipes", find ones she likes, and get started. Hope this helps!
@@pubwvj also, its important for her to see the Fertility Specialist and run ALL the tests because she may not have PCOS. She can have Endometriosis, pcos AND endo, etc. But she won't know until she gets tested. So I think while low carb may help, it would be great for her to get answers first about what is happening and THEN go from there on how to mitigate symptoms.
Started to get into an argument with someone on Facebook that said, 'Don't do keto, it's dangerous'. When she told ME to do my research instead of relying on anecdotal information, I realized this was not a battle that was even remotely worth fighting. Just do what you do, folks. Never mind the misinformed haters.
Hello. I wanna share my experience as a vegan and most of my time, I did miss the nutrients in meat and meat itself is what our body relies on as fuel for the fire. Instead of veg, the keto diet gave me more energy instead of the vegan diet.
1:10:00 Good one on the "eggs cause diabetes" story. My boss eats eggs almost every morning. He had diabetes - in fact he's almost to the stage where I expect him to start complaining about some "mysterious ulcer" etc. He's pretty far along. But the eggs are not the reason. The reason is he also eats pancakes, waffles, at lunch eats potato chips, bread, buns, potatoes, drinks beer and wine, his favorite meal is hamburgers and french fries, yes, that's a plural on the burgers. I've tried to tell him numerous times that his way of eating and then having to check his blood sugar and inject insulin all the time is living with "one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas" but it just doesn't sink in. But yeah, blame the eggs...
Yes like back in the 90's clumping red meat eaters in with drinkers and smokers and comparing them with vegetarians who happened to be Seventh Day Adventist, known non drinkers, non smokers and never eat take out. The smoking, drinking and junk food were completely overlooked and it became solidified truth for 3 decades that red meat will kill you.
I am always drawn to these documentaries, thinking I've missed some new wisdom. I end up thinking I like what I do personally, so I'll stick with it. No meat, because it's so unappealing to me(not judging). No dairy to avoid inflammation, no sugar because I am sick of the addiction. I enjoy being free from depression and mood shifts. I exercise more because I don't want to be flabby. Just saying do what's right for you, you are intelligent, you are strong, you are insightful, you will be fine. Wishing everyone a good day, stay healthy. Thanks for listening.
I love how you said this!! I have aversions to some meats as well which make keto difficult then I give up. I feel like I should just do my own thing too, I’m just in search of the most healthy way of life since heart disease runs in my family. Good luck to you and God bless!!❣️
getting back to basics. I have struggled with my weight for years. I finally decided i was going to start mindful eating. I did decide to eat 16:8 eating plan. I eat a variety of real foods, nothing processed and completely cut out sugar. i have lost 12 lbs in 4 weeks. It takes time to plan meals and to think about what you are eating, but once you start, it becomes second hand. Real food helps, processed foods and sugars don;t. . It really just comes down to being mindful of what you are putting in your mouth.
also following the 80/10/10 model - 80% carbs in the form of fresh fruits & vegs; no more than 10% protein; no more than 10% fat. Consuming animal proteins is really just reprocessing the plants the animals got their amino acids from. Plants have more than sufficient amino acids, the building blocks of protein. To much protein causes the body to keep building even tho it doesn't need to, which results in overgrowth or deformation of existing cells, commonly called cancer. Too much fat means your body can't process out toxins therefore creates fat pockets to store toxins away from the organs, more commonly known as obesity.
I was vegan, whole food plant based diet, for about 4-5 years. My mental and physical health plummeted. I now eat a lower carb animal based diet, mostly beef, eggs and butter… it’s only been 9 months of eating this way and my mental and physical health issues are gone. Completely.
Don't we all love a good anecdotal story? I was eating mainly what you're eating now, barely passed stools, once a week usually & I developed Crohn's.. I was on all the meds, steroids for inflammation etc & then I eliminated all animal products from my life & I no longer need meds & I'm healthier than I've ever been. That was 7 years ago. There was one point during my sickest where they thought I was having a heart attack & had to pump me full of clot busters! I was thin & only in my mid 30s!
@@TenableVegan I think that’s great. So happy you’re doing well. I firmly believe that we need meat and veggies and some fruits. Honestly any change from the stand way people eat now would help someone. I know I feel better eating the way I do now than when I was vegan, I’ve found a good balance for the time being. Many blessings to you.
I ve beaten bowel Cancer, now self curing fatty liver which i got from Chemo by OMAD and low carb/keto and feeling great... I love to feel my heart pumping and sweating on the incline treadmill and watch some educational videos like this which encourage me that i m right with my self-care....💪🏋️♀️

I was a whole food vegan for about 2 year, constantly hungry, I lost weight at the first few months, then I started to have terrible cystic acne, it was terrible. I was in my 30s and my belly was just not going away no matter how much I worked out. I stumbled upon keto, one month later, my skin cleared up. I was so happy to eat meat again. I started to see my stomach flat for the first time in my life. And omg, all the bloating and gas are gone. Since then I am low carb.
All the vegans I know are skinny with a prominent distended upper stomach which makes me wonder why. Not for vanity but for whats wrong in their guts. The distance runners are all skinny, pastey and have grey complexions which also worries me.
Start with meat and vegatables. Eat a little fruit(one thing a day) Stay away from simple sugar and processed meals. Put olive oil on salads and othervegatables. Walk 40 minutes. Alternate Red meat every other day. fats will make u full. I am doing all this and working out and i feel alot better. Water is important as well as electrolytes.. Stress good fats(ex olive oil, white meats). I dont call anything diets. Once in a while have a peice a candy. It is actually simple.. Also eat less
I was working out 3-5 days a week for 1.5 years before going keto and gained 20 lbs. Started Keto almost a year ago and lost 60lbs so far. I lost most of it early on and have been maintaining for about the last 7-8 months or so. It's been a life changer for me. Biggest issue for me was having to buy new clothes but no complaints from me...
I do believe your progress, but not the reason. I'm glad it worked for you but the only thing that works is looking at energy in vs energy out. Since you started keto, you probably consume less calories in combination with more protein and can sustain more muscle, which have a high energy requirement. It's not because you excluded a food group, it's because you balanced your intake.
Interesting because I had to go high carb/low fat with my 5 day gym work outs in order for my weight loss to work... I really think it's different for everyone but I say everything in moderation plus movement is going to be the healthiest lifestyle out there! Congrats on your accomplishment!
@@daniels-mo9ol I do agree that there might have been a calorie reduction but the only reason why I was able to get on that calorie reduction was because I got off the insulin train. Before going keto, I would get ravenous when I was hungry which felt like all the time which indicated insulin resistance. Now I'm not 100% sold on the calorie in/out because I still eat a ton and most of it is high fat high protein diet which we all know fat has 9 cal/g vs the 4 of protein/carbs. Saying calories in/out assumes that our bodies are machines without built in adaptations. Cal in/out also assumes our bodies are 100% efficient in processing the intake of calories especially since each calorie type affects your body differently when intaked.
@@rileyboy66 yup, everybody is different. Weird thing is when I went keto, I stopped working out because I was worried about not having the energy. I am still fairly active because I have a hard time staying in one place but I just started mountain biking again a couple months ago so I'm trying to get my body to adapt to higher stress exercise while keto and so far its going pretty good.
I'm carnivore these days, and my psoriasis has gone. I tried vegetarian and vegan and raw diets, i tried paleo. Strangely it was only carnivore that's stopped my problem. Anyway, so I agree with what's this is saying.
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease. Your body is reacting to certain plant proteins by mistake and it is causing inflammation. You remove the trigger, your skin gets better. Carnivore definitely works but there may be long term health consequences you may not expect. It's best you try to actually heal your gut issues and reintroduce some vegetables rather than covering your problem with a bandaid
@@justinevans2118 it’s the way of the future. And it’s not just dietary. It’s ethical. Done right, it’s an amazing thing. I have stupid amounts of energy
@@sharonboyden5660 It’s not the way to the future. If it was the proper way to eat, wouldn’t people have ate like that a long time ago? Our cecum is not made to process all that fiber and plants. It literally goes straight through you and in return, you barely get nutrients. You have to be reliant on supplements to get in your vitamins and nutrients. We are omnivores. We are made to eat all the food groups. Sugar being on the lower end. Like in the video, long term vegans have switched up their diet because it caught up to them. There is studies out there that shows vegans brains shrinking due to the lack of B12. Plants do not have everything you need. I cut out red meat most of my life and everyday, I would crave meat. Not like a sugar craving, but more of a need rather than a want. I went keto and my health changed. My blood work is amazing. I’m gaining muscle while losing fat. I’m the same weight as I was but with less fat. Every time I see a vegan, they’re either skinny, or fat. No muscle. Now I will say there is vegan bodybuilders, but they complain of having a lack of energy constantly. So they supplement it with crack loads of caffeine and supplements. It’s not sustainable. It will catch up with you! Let me know when it does and share your story later down the road!
Fat1 changed my life. For 40 years I’ve eaten a carb loaded diet believing it was healthy. I only started keto to find out if Vinnie was an irresponsible quack or if he was onto something. My initial 3 month keto trial made me feel so good that now, 3 years later, I am 100% keto and never want to go back to carbs again.
@@manne8575 some people are in a ketogenic state eating low carb/high fiber foods. Rye bread, tubers, potatoes etc. The problem has not been keto or not but the impact on your glucose levels.
I’m listening to both sides and making decisions that make sense to me for me. I truly believe that if we went back to supporting and encouraging more small family farms to produce our food ethically and sustainably we could eat healthier and better. The mass production is the cause of this mess we are all in. Education is the key and I think the younger generation is getting better at weeding out the mess of junk information.
If you possibly can, grow a few plants like collards and arugula and things that you can just go out and pick a few leaves to include in your meals, keep "pets" like laying hens, quail, etc., you can keep fish like tilapia or carp if you have space for a pond, and you can determine what they eat in all these cases.
@@cincin4515it is in a way but if natural food was the norm then prices would go down as it would be in plentiful supply and it would then be less strain on the health sector.
@@cincin4515 yes and no. We have an issue here in the states where the government supports monocrops. Most farmers grow either corn/soy or beets/soy. (soy add nitrogen to the soil preventing crop rotation) Most food we eat here is from other countries (there are small exceptions like lettuce, avocadoes or oranges and even then those are supplemented with produce from other countries) Food processing consumes a great deal of what we grow (outside of exports). While it is true that buying local is better, that isn't always an option, even with things like co-ops and farmers markets. Those subsidies are a incentive to keep those farmers from growing varied crops that can be sold within the states.
There was a time when I weighed almost a 100Kgs. It was hard to lose all that fat in a conventional way like daily cardio, limiting calories, eating greens. The only I pulled myself down to 79Kgs was by going KETO. Lost that difference in about 5 months. That's the only time I did Keto and it was so beneficial for that short time. I don't consider KETO sustainable for me. I'm on maintenance mode, lifting weights and staying away from bread, sugar and soda, plus intermittent fasting. SUGAR IS REALLY BAD FOR YOU..period.
Same with me, but also had high blood pressure. Strange how managing sugar changed things. My doctor told me to follow the dash diet which is high in grains and low fat. Little wonder I could not manage blood pressure and weight as my liver was producing sugar (insulin) which I did not realise. Strange how fat and cholesterol is blamed. Decided to ignore my doctors advise and reduce carbs and sugars significantly. My health is perfect now and have reduced weight.
The deception of the American food industry is just mind boggling. This documentary even states the problem...we're told to eat this, don't eat that, this is healthy, this is not healthy. No WONDER people are confused. I am blessed to not live in the US (no offence) and live in a Western country that, whilst we have high levels of obesity and junk food, we have moderate level of advertising of these foods. We have a real CHOICE in my country to eat healthy if we want to, even for people on lower incomes as healthy food has always been readily available and cheap in most parts of my country. The food deserts in America and overadvertising of junk food, not to mention the oversupply of junk and sugary foods in most American supermarkets is just disgusting. It is almost criminal. And how does the American health care system HELP people who end up getting diseases as a result of eating this high-fat, high sugar American diet? They ask you to pull out your wallet. They won't treat you for operations or surgeries or any treatments unless you have MONEY. So you're paying industries to get sick by eating fast food, then you're paying AGAIN to get treatment for diseases that are caused by this profit- driven and greedy food industry. I really feel sorry for most people living in America. Manufacturing food for the American public should NEVER be only about profit. We live in a 'free market' where there is diversity of products, but people really have no real choice over what they eat as nearly everything in America is just another version of sugar or fat. You can't even trust breakfast cereals over there, they're loaded with as much sugar as chocolate. The only solution is to just be honest with the people about what's in the products. And what effect that has on their bodies. Really educate Americans as to what's causes weight gain, obesity and other health issues. Of course, there's no money in it for the American food industry, nutrition industry, health care industry. So of course why would they do that? SMH...the greed. The greed.
Hi. I’m an American and wanted to deeply thank you for your insightful comment. Apples cost more than twinkies here and industries, not people, reap the benefit.
The thing is, we only know what we know, until we know better. That's how science works. They're not lying when it's one thing then, and it's another now. They just have more information. Different results. Studies that have been backed or debunked by other studies. There's no easy answers in science. It's always changing since variables are always changing too.
And also, the only thing that truly causes weight gain is a calorie surplus. That's it. It doesn't matter from which food. You can miraculously eat enough lettuce to be in a surplus and you gain weight. That much we know. The law of thermodynamics is as sure a science that we got.

Everyone needs to read Nina Teicholz’s book. Once you read it, you understand where we are, why we are here, and what we should do about it: both personally and politically.
Nailed it. The need to move from fad diet to fad diet. There's folks out there that can recite their medical numbers like accountant's and even track their food components or macros like a detective.
by changing the focus away from meat and towards carbs they can sell cereal, crakers, cakes, cookies and all kinds of processed carbs! You cant just eat a wheat 🌾 stalk! Its not natural to eat processed carbs with added sugar!
Vegetarianism in the US started because of religious views. Kellogg knew that reducing meat/animal food consumption would also reduce the "sin" of lustful urges. Anyone can look that up, don't take my word for it.
@@w1975b I'm pretty sure he was a Seventh Day Adventist. Their founder Ellen Gould White had a vision that a plant based diet is healthier and that meat causes impurity, cancer and lust.
They should be focusing away from fatty foods and redirecting towards carbohydrates but the “whole food carbohydrates“. It’s not that difficult to get it right… this entire documentary was horrible because when they referenced carbs they always inferred junk food but they never addressed actually pure unadulterated Whole Foods. I called bull crap. And yes there is known conspiracies in the food industry. One of the doctors in this documentary even supported that when they mentioned that you can take P values that you want and go out in search of studies that will support it. But this is literally dishonest and hence conspiratorial in nature. I’m a biologist.
All I can say is: following a low fat diet and vegetarian diet ruined my life. I was born premature, into a home where my mother was mentally volatile, suffered from anxiety and depression my whole life. Anorexia and bulemia nervosa from the age of 14, which turned into IBS and chronic fatigue syndrome at 34. I was skeptical about the Atkins diet because everyone said that fat was poison, so I avoided the stuff like it was the plague. Sadly it took a health catastrophe and being severely let down by the medical establishment that I finally took a good hard look at the food industry as a whole and realised I'd been royally screwed over. Gave keto a go and haven't looked back. It hasn't cured my cfs, but no more depression, no extreme hunger, no more joint pain, no more menstrual cramps, no mood swings. I have never felt so at peace in my entire life.
It would be nice to see more medical professionals promoting prolonged fasting for weight loss and overall health. I fast daily for 20 hours with a 4 hour eating window and the weight id been stuck at for over 15 years finally started falling off. I also drastically reduced sugar in my diet to once every 2 months instead of daily.
when I stopped eating sugar (added aand otherwise), vegetable oils and processed stuff to the maximum extend possible, I took back my health. Went from 34% to 20% body fat in 7 months. Unfortunatelly also lost 5 kg of muscle. I am geting those back now with the help of a barbell and a pair of dumbells.
There's plenty of videos on TH-cam explaining the difference between the sugar in natural foods and cane sugar/high fructose corn syrup. The person we are replying to stopped eating the latter. I don't know why they said "otherwise" because "sugar" is either naturally occurring or added.
I tried being vegetarian or even vegan multiple times in my 20s and 30s but gave up. I decided to follow what my body craved, what felt good, not just what I thought I should want. I'm now in middle age and my doctors say I'm as healthy as someone on their 20s when they do my labs. BMI of 20. Sleep well and feel great. What I eat? I'm allergic to eggs, beans, and dairy, but other than that I eat whatever I want, just usually in small quantities. Bacon or sausage is something I eat almost every day. I don't eat breakfast though, more brunch and then dinner, doing intermittent fasting. I tried keto for a few months and felt great, ended my joint pain. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to lose any weight, so had to stop it, because I lost about 15 pounds and looked gaunt. Sugar really is addictive. It's been hard bringing back the carbs without continually doing more and more and more. That's a battle I'll commit to fighting though, because I know now that I feel best with little carbs (not none) and lots of fat while going at least 16 hours each day without eating anything. I'm continually trying to have just enough carbs to keep my weight up without intensifying to the point I get worsening joint pain and other problems from sugar.
The next weapon to all of this, vegan or not. Avoid vegetable oils. Not sure if you did. Eat coconut oil, lard and tallow. Not the processed ones. I think you'll feel a difference. Once you do that, based on my short term experience. You can maybe ease into those things you are allergic to. But don't do it if you don't like those things anyways. Heal you intestines with those fats.
Covid saw gyms closed and mcdonalds and Baskin r9bins left open. Then most stores closed and everyone funnelled into the same mega stores to stop the spread.
No one forces you to put it into your mouth, do you accuse manufacturers of alcohol beverages for all alcoholics? No, everyone must watch what he or she pushes into their mouths. Personally I agree that all those foods mentioned are very bad but people want them.
The other problem with meat is not the meat but what we are feeding the animals these days...GRAIN!!! Grain fed beef will always be inferior. Grass fed is what we should be eating. Farming methods need to improve across the board.
@Chrome Book Well we dont eat grass now do we?? If an animal is built to eat grain, there doesnt need to be anything wrong with that. Just a reminder... GRAIN is a Grass. What credibility loss?
@@wopperconpalta5356 You can’t possibly think cows are fed a healthy natural diet. Seriously look into what factory farmed meat is fed and how unnatural the whole process is. Avoid it at all costs.
@@wopperconpalta5356 cows used to be sent out to graze, mostly ate grass, problem is, it doesn't enable insane growth, so they switched to grains that support weight gain and growth more, at the cost of their health
This has worked for me. One meal a day, no veg oils, lots of butter, cream, lard, tallow. Do not consume the refined anything. Sugar or oils. I love burgers and lots of cheese, lots of whole veggies. I feel the best I've ever been. Follow this to a T. Remove all of the bad things they say. I have zero cravings for sugar or fried foods. I have no cravings for anything in general. I'm calmer, full all day in general. Just let the hunger pang pass. I've never stopped moderate alcohol consumption during this trial of 12 days today. I've lost 2 whole pant sizes. And exercising with no pain, high energy.
Former vegan here after going low carb/healthy keto my bloods are all good Liver normal after fatty & enlarged, cholesterol normal, blood sugars & blood pressure normal
It's impossible for me to overeat on a high fat protein diet. My stomach, brain, and mouth all say "No more!" and I will easily--EASILY--put down the fork and walk away. Not so with other diets (and I've tried them all). Even when full to the point of bursting, I could always stuff in one more bite...then another...and another...and another. (Consuming more = buying more, and what brand doesn't want that?) I can honestly say that in my nearly 65 years I have never felt as good and energetic as I do eating this way.
@@georgepipito2802 Allow me to clarify....I, personally, cannot overeat on this diet. I've never stuffed myself, especially to the point of feeling sick, because once I'm full the very thought of putting more in my mouth literally gags me.
That is because fat is a proper human diet... the body has mechanisms to tell you when to stop, through hormones in the gut, leptin for the brain, and stretch receptors in the stomach. It's a negative feedback mechanism. Carbohydrates, however, deliver only positive feedback... they want you to eat more of them, and that is a survival hack in our DNA to fatten up for the winter, when animals will be hard to find. This worked well 250,000 years ago, when we did not know how to farm, preserve and store plants. Now, look at us in 2022...
@@doctorismellburnttoast9423 And that is how it should be. Feeling queasy from fat is the body's signaling mechanism to tell you that have had enough. This is normal bodily function.
Thank you very much for this well-produced, thought-provoking, polite but iconoclastic, balanced look at the directions in which the different forces in nutrition, governance, and industry pull all of us. Your video helped me understand that, no matter how well-pedigreed a speaker is, no matter how self-confident, no matter how much grey hair or experience, and no matter how "settled" their position, they can still be absolutely wrong.
No thought-provoking here. They start by presenting some facts about doubtful science and malpractices in the nutrition industry done in the past, and midway through the show they present their approach as the absolute truth you should trust. Not surprisingly, the narrative transitions from fact checking at the beginning to purely emotional towards the end. That's how charlatans get you.
It was still a bit biased towards meat eating though. There were plenty of incorrect statements in there still. I think the best thing is to cut processed food down but eat everything in moderation. The only diet actually proven with multiple studies is plant based but that is where people work at the nutrition. You can’t just eat chips. Most people don’t find that doable though.
In India, a very large population has been eating only vegetarian food for generations and we have been doing good. No issue of deficiency of macronutrients.
Straight out of google In India 44% of children under the age of 5 are underweight. 72% of infants and 52% of married women have anemia. Research has conclusively shown that malnutrition during pregnancy causes the child to have an increased risk of future diseases, physical retardation, and reduced cognitive abilities.
No issue, apart from India having one of the highest rates of diabetes, high rates of visceral type of obesity and rather disappointing life expectancy
A red meat based ketogenic isn’t for everyone, but the info from this documentary is still important. Whatever your diet is, cutting sugar and becoming more physically active will do wonders for your health. Sadly my taste buds were dealt a bad hand in life and I hate the taste of most meat so I became a vegetarian by default. About 5 years ago I cut around 80% of added sugar from my diet and moderated carbs to around 40% of my intake (it’s not close to keto I know but I gotta live a little!) and hit the gym 3x a week The benefits of cutting sugar were immediate. I had more energy, could focus better, and was less irritable. Over the next few years I lost 45 pounds, feel much better and I no longer get these dizzy attacks I used to get.
Well, red meat is for the majority. You, and others who are like you, are the significant minority and can still intake fat and protein while avoiding carbs. You choose not to. That’s on you, soy boy.
Zoey Harcombe is a low carb advocate nutritionist for years. She eats no meat herself. Her personal diet is eggs for breaky, goats cheese salad for lunch and brown rice and veggies for tea. She owns goats. Not all diets have to be strict ketogenic to work. Americans take everything to the far extremes.
@@cincin4515 INCORRECT, Zoe used to be vegetarian but that was long ago. "I started eating meat and fish again in 2010. This was a personal choice and I respect all personal choices in this delicate area.... I am fortunate, living in the countryside in Wales, to be able to eat meat, eggs and dairy from pasture living animals. I also eat fish - especially oily - white fish is less nutritious." quote from her own website
Also she is not a nutritionist. She is a RESEARCHER. Yes she did publish a diet book, about losing weight by not mixing fat and carbs, but she is a Science Researcher. Her weekly newsletter analyses published science studies to see if they are valid or not.
I've done a myriad of N1 diet experiments in my life including vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, calorie in/calorie out, low fat high carb, Currently I am meat based carnivore and of all the diets I've tried this is the sweet spot for me from a well being stand point. Better blood sugar control, better brain function, better energy, no brain fog, lower blood pressure, effortless weight loss, no digestive issues, no depression. Everyone needs to find their own sweet spot, but excess carbs and seed oils in any diet is problematic.
Quit sugary drinks and snacks long ago. Then the "hype" event started. Gained 20lbs/10kg over a year. Felt awful and blood tests were out of norm. Now, dropped most of the weight, got a physically demanding job, feel great. I did cut out more carbs but nothing crazy. Eating better and getting a workout while working has done well for me.
I'm happy that you feel better. I would like you to do something. Go look up the amount of calories that exercise burns. Compare that to what you eat. You will find that one hour of say jogging might offset an apple, if your jogging is high impact.
@@davidmiller9485 Yeah, a 95 cal apple is either running a 10 min mile or about a 30 min walk. I've read that for every pound of fat, it takes about 3500 extra cals to gain it. I usually don't eat for at least 12 hours before work so usually no food for 16-24 hours most days. Cheers.
Thanks Vinnie. Good to see the crew back together. Discovering this material five years ago led me down the road to becoming a low-carb health coach who helps people reverse metabolic disease.
@@midnightdew I've been eating very healthily and am doing very good; I follow no one's diet and I DON'T count calories or carbs ever!

@@Ranch-girl According to you; you're a 62 healthy woman so just continue exactly what you're doing and you'd remain healthy! Take care and God bless 🙏 ❤🌈
I was just watching a documentary called Eating You Alive but when I saw Dr Gregor and then the demonizing of meats and fats I said nope. I should have been suspicious when I saw James Cameron and Samuel Jackson being interviewed.
unsaturated fats are scary... to make a small amount of it you need to process a lot of seeds... if you chew on coca leafs you won't get the same effect like concentrating it
I hope everyone here is exercising as much as they should per week, or at least counting your daily steps to keep yourself active. Put your body to work will make the diet scenario a lot easier to manage.
Too much exercise is actually not good for you also. I'd say 2 HIIT a week to increase growth hormone and at least 8K steps daily. but 80% of health comes from food, so low carbs, low sugar and a 16-8 fast (if possible) to go along with the exercise.
@@nici1782 too hard to generalize in 3 sentences. 99% of the population will never get to a point of over training. Everyone has fat to lose and muscle to gain.
@@defdaz Now now, let's not put words into each other's mouths. It's clear and in plain English, maybe re-read and come back when you actually understand what it is I said.
I've realized food can be very individualized I lost and maintained 155 lbs eating on a normal day to day closer to carnivore with fruit and occasional veggie shakes and whatever I want when I go out with friends works great 3 yrs lots of energy and feel good but I've done personal training and found some people love vegan eating works for them basically eat clean and listen to your body works wonders
Keto gave me insomnia and constant thirst, so it was not for me. However, doing keto did teach me that I do great on a low-carb diet. I keep it to around 75 grams per day, and my carbs come only from veggies and limited fruit. The rest of my diet is meat, eggs, and butter. (No milk or cheese.) I also eat a limited amount of nuts and seeds.
Me too suffered the insomnia and even hyper activity on keto. I had to add back small servings of starch at each meal which still had me losing weight but much more comfortably. I also started growing a beard which stopped when adding back some carbs. (I'm a women that shouldn't have to deal with that many whiskers)
One thing I’ve learned about weight loss is that there is no ‘one size fits all’. You simply have to try different ways and see which is the best one for you.
I totally agree with you. Meat doesn't work for me, makes me feel heavy, low on energy, miserable, and constipated for days while plants makes me feel alive again. Plus I only experienced menstrual cramps on a meat diet. So I think we should educate ourselves more and listen to our bodies.
@@solanjedere I did all meat and I’ve done all Plants. What I’ve found is yep all meat makes me feel horrid and yep horrible cramps and such and GI upset. But so does all plants. I end up anemic and so full of inflammation O can barely get out of bed with all plants. I am doing low carb now but with a good amount of plants included. Not that far in yet but I am hoping this is the key. I am trying to follow a bit of advice from both spectrums because both do have some good points when not taken to the extreme (in my view anyways).
I'm vegan, I changed for ideology and not health, but FOR ME, ended up being a lot healthier. I don't believe meat/red meat is the Satan of food (only of ethics), but sugar, processed food, etc. But I also think is also important to highlight that before the obesity crises we didn't eat meat that frequently. Any food when is damn too much is unhealthy. And people who eats meat usually eat 3x day everyday forever and end up eating very few veggies.
Right! And it's just not sustainable for so many people. Meat is exorbitantly expensive. I have three kids, how am I supposed to feed a family that eats meat every meal? It's also highly unsustainable for the planet! I would be very interested to hear these scientists speak on the n=1 studies (which are arguably anecdotal) for people over say, age 70. How many of the oldest among us eat a ketogenic diet and actually live longer as a result? I can certainly acquiesce that perhaps a keto diet can create protective factors for neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, but I would appreciate to see those studies, as well. We already know from the literature that often, talk therapy can be as effective as psychotropic medications.
The blanket statement of "people who eats meat usually eat 3x day everyday forever" is false. Many people who eat carnivore or keto actually eat fewer than 3 times a day, it's called intermittent fasting. OMAD is pretty popular, that's "one meal a day". So your statement holds no water as any kind of argument.
@Louise Tamiazzo....Sigh....ALL CREATURES...Plant, Animal, Fish and Foul FEEL PAIN!! It's been proven over and over. This Eco System was setup so that something must consume the Energy of another Living Creature in order to continue to function. This includes your Plants. Plants NEED Carbon Dioxide and Methane as well as Nitrogen in order to Photo Synthesize the Sun's Radiation. Animals and Plants feed off of each other. It's synergistic. Oh...and Food Crops take up more land and use 5x the water that "Meat" production needs. When you eat Fruit...you are eating Plant Babies...when you Eat Seeds you are eating Plant Embryos. When you eat Fruit and then plant the Seeds you have taken away their NATURAL Nutrients and now have to either use Man Made ingredients to replace them or let them try to start on their own while handicapped due to you consuming their Natural Nutrients. Oh, you want to just tear off a Leaf and leave the rest of the plant for later?? That's like breaking off the Foot of a Pig to eat. You leave it alive but now it is Maimed and Crippled. I watched a video of EPCOT's "Behind The Seeds" tour. I was in tears seeing the TORTURE they do to PLANTS there!! Hydroponics is like having a constant Cavity with Air blowing across it when their Roots are out of Soil and kept constantly misted with their mix. Will they live and make BABIES being kept in PAIN like that??? Sure they will but it is not good or benevolent. Whether it is Plant or Animal, there is Pain and Suffering in the obtaining of Nutrients for it to Sustain It's own life. One needs to look to the CREATOR of this WORLD and ask WHY it made Life here so Cruel and Painful for the creatures they put here to continue living. Will you go on a Campaign to eradicate all Venus Fly Taps since the Kill and murder Animals in a VERY Painful way?? Would you go kill the Rabbit eating from your Garden?? Or maybe you will put a Muzzle on it so it can never devour another plant that it needs in order to continue living?? Of course not. Also remember that in the "Natural World" or "Nature" so to speak, almost everything that is consumed is done so while it is still alive and watching itself be consumed in the Animal Kingdom. Unless it died naturally or by accident and then it's remains were scavenged.
@@w1975b MOST people eat meat three times a day, doesnt matter if you are carnivore, omnivore or keto, if you some up the Kalories, its the same. Its ham for breakfast. Meat dish for dinner And meat dinner at night. Many people forgett that diced meat is still meat. Same with their turkey sandwiche on the go.
@@codybanks9944ok. let's say they feel the same pain. Do you know how much plant a cow eats before I eat the cow? Years feeding a entire cow is a hell of plants, like A LOT, I'd never eat that much in my life. and i can eat the entire cow in few days/weeks. So, as someone who needs to eat something, maths proves vegan is the way for less pain (but if you don't care about that, is another story and everyone can make a choice, or eat less at least)
Guys! Balance, just eat a balanced diet... Fruits are not bad, won't cause you fatty liver , our ancestors always ate fruits, meat and some form of grains for thousands and thousands of years
Absolutely on point. It's ridiculous how we've come to the point of thinking that fruit and berries are seen as unhealthy, and some even think they're just as bad as sugary processed snacks. There is NO FIBER in the processed crap, they suck it out in the poison factories (in the name of profit.) That fiber is supposed to help your body process that natural sugar so it doesn't get stuck inside you in the form of fat and ruin your organs. Simple as that. It is just so horrifying how we are eating all this junk just to keep our stomachs full. Take the nutrients out and add sugar, and bam, here we are sicker than ever, pointing the finger at fat and or carbs, for example. I blame politicians alot, Nixon to name one. The truth is right under our noses, people!
You're trying to get through to extremists. One end of the spectrum vs the other. Myself thrives on high protein eggs with a slice of buttered toast for breakfast for years now which ended my lifetime of obesity and blood sugar fluctuations problems. Unfortunately theres nothing exciting about non extremist mediocracy.
I don't eat animal products and I have often dismissed anyone else's opinion surrounding diet or watched any documentaries with opposing views. Although I still stand with my views around animal products. I learned a few things in here that I appreciated and I'm glad I watched it. I completely agree that heavily processed foods where ever they come from is bad for us. I personally gain weight quickly when I eat a lot of, fake meats, oils, processed white flours and sugars. I stay slim when eating a lot of veggies, legumes, whole grains and fruit. Mental health has also been a huge factor in how healthy I am physically. I have not had anemia since I've healed from a lot of my past trauma and learned to process my emotions and stresses properly I had struggled with it for years even before I stopped eating animals.
There are so many branches to consider when we look at food. I think the confusion and why there is sooo much information out there regarding what's healthy and what's not is that there is so much to consider. From the amount of food, to how our food is being processed and what hormones are being added. From there we get into the ethics of how animals are raised and treated for mass consumption, and the cost on us as individuals to be able to chooses grass fed, free roaming, organic meat products.
Keto totally messed up my hormones. I missed my period and when I finally got it I had horrible cramps and diarrhea. When I did a high carb diet it didn’t delay my cycle and I had hardly any cramps. Keto is definitely not for everyone.
Here's something for my exercise-avoidant friends. Being obese makes exercising WAY worse. I have a lot of personal experience with this. When I went on keto and lost a good amount of weight, I gained a greater capacity to exercise. Namely, aerobic exercise. In school I was never able to complete a 1-mile run without having to walk. After losing weight with keto, without starving myself, in conjunction with time-restricted eating, I found that jogging was far easier and even kind of fun. I followed with my doctor and my cholesterol improved (it was never high, but my HDL was low), my GERD resolved (especially with time-restricted eating), I drastically improved my blood pressure, and I had my doctor's blessing despite not being a keto-positive doctor. The medical advice was simply "You've lost weight and improved all your biomarkers and blood pressure. Keep doing what you're doing because it's clearly working"
I got distracted. If you're suffering from obesity, try time-restricted eating if not full ketosis. Lose some weight first and slowly add exercise. It's an amazing feeling to have a significant improvement in your exercise capacity by simply losing excessive weight
This was an interesting documentary. I am vegan for many reasons, the animals and environment being two of them. I think you can be a healthy meat eater and a healthy vegan. You can also be an extremely unhealthy vegan or meat eater if you fill your diet with junk food or do not eat a well balanced diet. I think this documentary is the perfect example of how science can be interpreted in different ways to back up a persons ideology and that goes for both camps. Perhaps we should work out what our own priorities are and leave others to do the same. If we aim for moderation all around we should be somewhere near a healthy diet, whether that includes meat and dairy or not.
Joelle you have a really good point in here - the same as we do the TDM to determine the dose of a medicament, every person needs different amount of different nutrients in their food. Every person is unique. That is the reason there is no one fits all recommendation...
The environment will suffer because of veganism. We need the animals on the land instead of the millions of tons of toxins that are sprayed on our food every year. It's killing the soil and turning to sand, it's also giving us cancer. We need the animals back on the land where they can grow the soil the way they always did.
I'm so glad it's now possible to sidestep the MSM and find information like this. If it wasn't for internet I'd probably still be trying to lose weight on low-fat, high-carb diets.
As someone who eats a Whole Foods plant based diet, I agree that impossible is not “healthy” just because it’s labeled vegan. I have it maybe once a month if I go out with family. Just like someone who treats themselves to fast food or something (then again I live in America so … 😂). I think whatever diet you choose, get yourself checked, and eat what makes you feel your best 🙃… also wish more people of different diets would be open to see other types of documentaries that challenge their way of thinking/doing, think this was done well 👌
@@justinevans2118 Sorry not good at replying on TH-cam cause I don’t comment much. Very late response, but it has been good to me. For me it helped rid of my acid reflux and lose weight. I can also see my blood tests come back more favorable. Also, my energy level is significantly different. I definitely think anyone can achieve these results with different diets, but I really enjoy this lifestyle. I think a dieting choice should be something that is sustainable, delicious, and overall helps your quality of life. Been WFP for 5 years now.
I agree with sugar being bad for you and eliminating as many refined carbs and processed foods as possible. It's the completely grain free and no fruit thing I can't get past. Even if we technically don't need carbs, what about vitamins and minerals and antioxidants? I can see someone with diabetes and or obesity benefitting from a keto diet temporarily but I really don't think the average person needs to go to such extremes.
I think the point is that carnivores don't develop vitamin deficiencies because meat, especially organ meat contains micronutrients like minerals and vitamins, too. The other point is carbs decreasing the digestion of certain micronutrients, therefore needing to take in less of them on carnivore and keto diets
@@vorostabletta5345 OK but I'm pretty sure humans are omnivores. I was on board with a lot of what was said, but when people start talking about eliminating natural nutritious food for health they lose me. Eliminating foods for ethical reasons is entirely different. My grandparents never had weight or health issues and they ate bread every day. They also barely ever ate processed foods and limited sugar.
@@MsKatze I don't think there is a problem with eating other stuff, I don't exclusively eat meat. But omnivore only means we have means to digest meat and veggies, so you are perfectly suitable to live on just meat, if you choose to. Omnivore doesn't mean one has to eat plants, just that one is able to.
@@vorostabletta5345 I understand that, I don't eat meat but I could if I wanted to. So we can live on either. My whole point is this, these documentaries start with talking about the obesity and diabetes epidemic. They make good points about how fat has been wrongly demonized etc. But it always in with the extreme of grains are bad, even fruit. They're basically doing the same thing the anti fat mob did. Bread and fruit have been around long before obesity was an issue in our society. Why not point out the real problem, the majority of what many Americans eat shouldn't even be classified as food, instead of telling people that grains are bad. It's the over consumption of sugar and unpronouncable ingredients that's making people fat and sick.
Vegans never think that if their ancestors hadn't eaten meat, they would never have been born. Food is a circle, everything eats meat, even trees and insects. We're all living off each other.
Totally agreed All we need to do is appreciate what nature offers us so try not wast of it or over asking it. And when our times off give our body back to mother earth in good condition to contribute to generated cycles.
Everything eat meat, but not as much as we eat today. If you were being charitable, we’re eating much more meat and everything else in general more than our ancestors. And if you want to be ultra charitable you would also agree that we’re eating much less vegetables than our ancestor.
@@henrytep8884 I have nothing against people eating vegetables. It's the grain I am angry about. That is what people are eating most of. It's what's making people sick and what's making companies rich. It's also what's making the land toxic. People are eating mostly wheat, soy, rice, sugar, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, and all the other seeds that are being made into oils that are now being lined up on the supermarket shelves. Fifty years ago they were not there. Now they're a hundred of them and they're taking up millions of square miles of land and billions of gallons of water to grow them. This land was used for grassland. Have you seen the way those oils are made? Really: They're not fit for human consumption. We need more vegetables and meat. Meat that belongs on the land.
Exactly... for anything to live, something has to die. Rather than naively thinking meat eaters hurt animals, appreciate the circle of life. That's just how it is.
@@henrytep8884 True, we are eating way more meat than our ancestors did, but we are growing exponentially more plants than our ancestors ever did, and that is what is actually killing the planet.
This is so twisted, you go from talking about carbohydrates straight into a tirade on sugar which has nothing to do with whole plant foods that have complex carbohydrates And are packaged with thousands of beneficial nutrients. Sugar is literally in our DNA and we have evolved to salivate amylase at the mere thought of eating to break down complex carbohydrates and use glucose preferentially over fat and protein. But sugar, or sacchrides need to be delivered into the bloodstream slow from whole plant foods not processed sugars. This documentary is a mess of confounding processed oil and sugar with eating the healthiest whole plant foods
It's really simple to be healthy with food and exercise: eat the most variety of whole foods as possible. But not in excess, only eat as much as you need. Avoid processed food as much as possible. Exercise to gain and maintain a healthy amount of muscle mass and also exercise to strengthen you're cardiovascular system, creating endurance not just strength.
I agree..... but this message gets misconstrude as 'just run it off'. You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet..... certainly not for an extended period of time and into our more senior years...... ie beyond 40.
I'm glad getting and staying healthy is easy for you. It's not for all of us, though. I have been going to the gym for roughly 6 hours a week and eating home-cooked meals from whole foods almost exclusively for years and I am still struggling with my weight. I use intermittent fasting, lowering my carb count, and only drink water and coffee. As I've gotten older, it has only become more difficult. The body wants to stay in homeostasis. I have been overweight since I was about 10 years old. Stasis, for me, is overweight. Breaking through this and losing the last 40+ pounds is hard for me, because it's not "normal" for my body.
The one thing I would have loved to see more of is a discussion of fiber. It seems like the takeaway is that now the Keto diet is best for people but Keto leaves no room for beans, which are high in dietary fiber. The link between fiber and insulin seems like another area in the understanding of digestion that wasn't discussed.
And fermentation too. Christopher Gardeners' study found high fiber not very beneficial at reducing information, but it was 20-fold when fermented foods were included. And there are no long-term studies on a meat-rich keto diet.
@@Sean-fj9pn I'm not really here to argue, and you're definitely right, fiber cannot be digested, that's sorta the point. Fiber and water is the libricant of our digestive system. It's material to pass through. Without it my understanding is there's a rise in different digestive issues, such as constipation. But I'm not an expert.
Excellent from start to finish! A sequel as good as the first one! Thank you, Vinnie, for presenting this life transforming information in such an accessible way. I’m a personal trainer who has been keto/low carb for 3 years. I’ve never felt, looked or performed better.❤️🙏🏻❤️
While many people have successfully followed this diet, there are some issues and considerations to be aware of: This is a diet not a life style. Guaranteed to cause issues in the long run and shortens life expectancy. Training or not. It is a fact, not myth! Nutrient deficiencies: Following a ketogenic diet restricts several food groups, including fruits, whole grains, and legumes, which are important sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Without careful planning and monitoring, there is a risk of deficiencies in essential nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, and potassium. Keto flu: When transitioning to a ketogenic diet, some people experience symptoms known as the "keto flu." These can include fatigue, headache, irritability, dizziness, and nausea. These symptoms are usually temporary and can be minimized by staying properly hydrated and ensuring adequate electrolyte intake. Digestive issues: A sudden increase in fat consumption can lead to digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. It is important to maintain a balanced intake of fiber and hydrate well to support healthy digestion. Risk of nutritional imbalances: The high-fat nature of the ketogenic diet can lead to imbalances in certain fats, specifically an excessive intake of saturated fats. It is important to prioritize healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil while moderating the intake of saturated fats from animal products. Sustainability and social challenges: The strict nature of the ketogenic diet can make it difficult to sustain in the long term. It requires careful meal planning and can be challenging to follow in social situations, making it less practical for some individuals.
What about the antibiotics introduced in factory farming? You are consuming all of that when you eat meat. The US is the largest producer of meat, majority produced by factory farming. At the same time, I understand the argument of consuming vegetables with harmful fertilizers sprayed on them. Can affect your body of you don’t wash them. But what would you choose? Dead animal injected with antibiotics or veggies grown with fertilizers? Either way I’m absolutely against the refined sugar and carb industry! That stuff is known to cause most metabolic diseases like diabetes, PCOS, obesity, etc. I cut down on processed sugar, processed carbs and processed meat. Ate mostly veggies and fruits. Lost 20 pounds in a year, no exercise except hikes on the weekends. Which was consistent to what I was doing before. *Notice i mentioned cut down but not eliminate. I had fish once or twice a month. Dessert once bi-weekly. Drank a few on the weekends. Vs before I did not moderate this way.
I use the science of a keto based diet and cycle it into my over all eating habits. Also fasting is a tool I use. Over all we definitely need to get away from processed foods especially highly refined carbs that have long shelf life and seed oils. I am not someone who stays in a ketogenic state permanently as we need to come out of it sometimes and stay metabolically flexible.
You are 100% correct. Many get stuck on the idea they need to stay keto all the time. Yes, it has benefits, but as long as someone is consuming minimal carbs (even as low as zero, there are NOT any essential carbs to consume for health/life) and keeping Randle cycle activation low (meaning inflammation, insulin resistance, etc are also low), people will be healthier. edit - to come out of keto without consuming carbs, increase protein and decrease fat
what scientists also don't consider is that everyone is different, so as veganism works for me and i am healthy and full of energy, some people's bodies won't thrive as well as mine. So you really gotta find what foods work best for yourown body.
This is literally JUST ANOTHER “documentary” telling people what the “right” way to eat is. How is this not the same kind of “propaganda” as the vegan documentary they called out in the beginning?
@@johnbennett7407 nah i find this very biased against sugars when that is absolutely not the problem. i eat sugar on the daily and i eaten pizza weekly and still lost 70 pounds and maintain a healthy lifestyle
Eating nothing but meat, eggs and butter literally saved my life. I used to eat "healthy" fruits and veggies much more than the average person. Made my own bread and ate only organic non GMO everything else. I did eat meat and eggs but limited the amount. The same with butter. Once I got rid of everything but the high fat animal foods I got healthy real fast.
I get what you're saying entirely. Each model, system, diet or ideology has it's own band of devout disciples who not only promote their own point of view but will happily use tons loads of confirmation bias to debunk others. However, the science does seem to be clearly moving in the direction of realising that sugar AND starchy carbs are way more problematic than we once thought, and that a little natural fat isn't so bad after all. But it's up to each individual to decide what makes sense to them and see how their bodies respond.

You started nicely with "don't demonize any group of food" and you continue with fruit is candy. Is pure heroine, that's for sure. That video came randomly and I don't know what your opinions are, but then it was another keto video. The thing is every diet is healthier than eating junk, so when a person goes from garbage to real food, even if it is pure animal fat, or potatoes for 20 days or bananas for 100 years, you end up loosing weight just because you stopped putting "non food" In your body. The problem with extreme diets, keto, plant based, raw food, is that are not sustainable in the long run. Once in a while there are people they succeed on them because they tried hard, and then they make money out of that. And then they try to find scientific data to back up their success. You even talked about how there is no conspiracy to force you eat meat, but there is conspiracy to make you eat grains. Yes pasta is the absolute pure evil. Plant based diet indeed reverse diabetes. I have done it. Ji do not follow any more thought.
When I quit seed oils. You mean I'm not suppose to have bleeding gums, peeling inner mouth, bleeding ears, acne, eczema, etc. It sucks that I have to avoid seed oils as it's in everything.
The problem is, there is not ONE diet that fits for all. Every film/study complaints about another stating that the other is just wrong and we know better. No, THAT is wrong. Every body is unique and acts and digests differently. One can digest gluten, the next cannot. One can digest milk, the other cannot. One has allergies, the other has not. Etc etc etc. At the end of the day each one us has to figure it out ourselves by watching our body. What makes you tired (with me it's pasta and rice). What is causing bowl problems (with me it's certain vegs). What makes you feel energized? I think we can agree on that we should cook ourselves most times and use unprocessed food as much as possible. Everything else we need to figure out ourselves.

Here’s a damn simple one line sentence to fix food decisions.
“What foods did we evolve over millions of years to eat?” Well, eat that!
Ffs, an entire doco to say that!?!
I have been studying this for 20 years, since I first studied evolutionary biology and realised our dietary advice doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And I came to the conclusion that the problem is the fact that our "heath" authorities are now far more concerned with political and economic agendas, than they are with actual health.
are you on a carnivorous diet? that is how humans are evolved...
Agreed. To stay healthy, all I have to do is to eat healthy fat and protein , stay away from man made stuff like seed oil and ignore my PCP’s diet advices;)
@@leandrocaara we have been carnivorous for 4,000,000 years at least, agriculture is only 10,000 years old.
@@ascendtoaesthetics Humans are omnivores, but throughout ancient history, before we became agriculturalists 20,000 years ago, we were mostly carnivorous. We have archeological digs that support this, although there seems to be a lot of effort to dispute this recently (i.e vegan propaganda), which appears to be politically/economically motivated. Imagine being a hunter-gatherer 20,000 years ago - I don't think you will be able survive on plant-based food if you are foraging in the wild, and certainly in the winter the only available food source will be animals.
And no, I don't follow a strict diet, but I try to avoid any type of food that didn't exist 100 years ago.
@@leandrocaara I think you are confusing politically/economically motivated vegan propaganda, with actual science. Imagine you are a human 20,000 years ago - what are you going to eat in the winter?
I don't listen to information that doesn't make sense to me at all. At the beginning of 2023, I was taking high blood pressure medication and suffering from pain related to Osteoarthritis and Degenerative disc disease and I discovered that I was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver in 2021 that no one told me about. So on January 13th, I completed changed my diet to only include whole foods, I stopped using ketchup, mayonnaise and salad dressing, I limited my daily carbohydrate intake, I started drinking only water and I stopped using processed oils or butter and replaced them with cold pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil and grass fed butter. Within 2 months, I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication and the majority of my pain was gone. I was able to start walking my dog on a daily basis, starting out slow at first at a mile and now we are up to 3.3-4.3 miles depending on the route we take.
Ella done
That’s amazing. Well done to you 💗
I did the same thing. I had back trouble and debilitating gut issues. The doctors went right to removing my gullblader. I cut the seed oils, processed grains and meat. The hardest to avoid is the highly refined sugar. Even in products that advertise as no sugar still have dextrose in them. It is amazing how much pain relief you get just from eating better.
The guy telling the people on the panel that you need to eat sugar if you have diabetes that’s unbelievable
That bit was taken out of context. He was talking about Walter Kempners rice diet who cured people with type 2 diabetes and sky high blood pressure back in the 30s using white rice fruit, fruit juice and sugar. Look it up.
@@sheriffphotoThis is illogical. If eating sugar (or starch) raises blood glucose, which it does, and raised blood sugar causes insulin to rise, which it does in order to get the glucose outbid the blood stream, ingesting any food that raises blood sugar would be dangerous for folks who are diabetic. It’s just basic chemistry.
@theskyehiker Type 2 diabetes is caused by too much fat. Weight loss reduces insulin resistance, and if the pancreas isn't completely f***ed Type 2 can be cured.
@@theskyehiker One theory is that diabetes is caused by PUFA causing damage to the mitochondria. If you adopted an ultra low PUFA diet (white rice and fruit don't have PUFA), you could theoretically reverse it.
@@dce64no. Fruit and fruit juice are extremely high in sugar. If you are insulin resistant those WILL eventually kill you.
I don't think it matters whether you eat meat or not, or whether you eat low or high fat. Eat REAL food, not processed, a lot less sugar, and don't overeat.
Real food that doesn't jack up your insulin....
Eat in a calorie deficit. That's it. Easier to do with higher protein, more vegetables and fruits, less refined carbs. But the food doesn't matter. The deficit is the thing that counts.
@@AllTheArtsy You've completely missed the point. Why would you say the food doesn't matter when so many 'good' foods spike your blood sugar sky high and mess people right up? You are really lost if you think that the food 'doesn't matter".
@@AllTheArtsy calories DON'T matter in human nutrition. I'll explain the facts here - calories are determined by placing whatever food into a machine called a bomb calorimeter. That machine uses FIRE to burn whatever food, that's how we know the number of "calories". Do humans create fire anywhere in their bodies? No. Plain and simple fact. So please explain how humans can get calories from any food, without fire? Humans create/use stomach acid and enzymes to break food down into carbs, proteins and fats. No calories at all.
It DOES matter if someone eats meat or not. "whole food vegans" get sick more often than not from only eating plants. The regular people that you don't hear about who are vegan quit because they got sick. The "influencers" either lie or continue suffering because they've made being vegan top priority for their income, etc.
Carnivore for 6 months and it changed my life forever. Never going back to raw veg smoothies. Feel great after 33 years of always being hungry, bloated and in a bad mood.
I am vegan for ten years now, but the relaxed kind. I pay attention to have all the micro nutritions. Dont follow everything like the bible and i am healty as well,feeling very comfortable. I dont want to sacrify my ethic and ecological behaviour just for animalic food. What did you feel after u started ur vegan diat? I am sure had had a good feeling like after u went carnivore again.
The more videos I watch on which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy, the more confused I become about what I should actually be eating
fruits and vegetables, protein and fat source of your choice, eat a wide variety of food and in moderation, and exercise regularly and you're fine
So true
@@minimalistvlogger3467 Exactly. I've had most of my success from doing the above, and making sure my carbs are coming from fruits/vegetables, not refined sugars.
you can try a vegan diet for 30 days then try a carnivore diet for 30 days and decide for yourself. Think about it like this, depending how old you are, say 30, you've lived 10,950 days so what's 30 days of trying a new diet.
I would really recommend "Nutrition Made Simple!" yt channel.
All I know is that at 70 years old, I effortlessly lost 70 pounds on the keto diet in the last 6 months and have never felt better in my life. My psoriasis has magically disappeared and my energy level is consistently high throughout the day. I just joined a gym and have been going every day, lifting weights like I'm 40 years old again. My only regret is that I didn't find keto sooner.I finally stopped going downhill and I'm enjoying life to the fullest.
try a carnivorous ketogenic diet...🔥🔥🔥
@@ascendtoaesthetics I've seriously been thinking that, but not quite there yet.
@@FinickyGreek Try it, watch Dr. Berg on TH-cam, I was 33, tired morbidly obese. I found Dr. Berg, did what he said and it's amazing! Keto and intermittent fasting is the way we were MEANT to eat ! We were NEVER built to eat carbs besides a few berries and fruit at the end of summer going into winter.....
@@samanthaporter6662 this is not entirely true. I have been keto and carnivore dieter, the carbs is not really the issue they way you think it is. Natural carbs are abundant in nature, especially in a fast absorbing way. It's the "modern" carbs that raises your insulin very fast (glycemic index). Some people are still in ketosis eating carbs. Some genetics are even more carb adapted, yamnaya people drank milk (carb source). The optimal diet is carnivore + very high fiber foods. It's typically traditional foods. Over time your physiology will become more metabolically adapted. Look for your ancestry what they are, try to replicate and see the result. Italians are very skinny eating loads of carbs. There is a much wider spectrum of truth in the real world
@@samanthaporter6662 that unfortunately isn’t true. Ancestors mostly did eat seasonal fruits and veg as found in many excavations of preserved human stomachs. Meat was few and far between and would likely be in abundance for a few days while it was fresh. Everyone is trying to say one food is better than another but it’s not that simple. The body’s digestive tract is designed to get the best out of plants. It’s long to maximise nutrient absorption. If you cut out the highly processed crap you should be fine to eat whatever. It’s all about calories in and out and balance. This proposed living off pure meat is insane and will end up killing people with the organs having to process all the toxic build up of keytones
Really excellent documentary! I live in Ireland 🇮🇪. I went Keto and intermittent fasting and WOW! I eat butter, red meat (not much as I just prefer eggs and cheese!) lots of cream, a lot of Rocket ((arugula), walnuts, pistachios and supplements.

The longest lived, healthiest people in the world in the Blue Zones eat a variety of diets but most aren't highly keto-based. What they have in common is avoiding all processed, chemically laden foods and high amounts of sugars and eating freshly sourced foods. This doesn't need to be a keto vs. vegan argument. Why not eat a balanced diet including appropriate amounts of all healthy foods sources? This battle of diets just promotes division.
a million upvotes to this comment
The problem...of course is that people are ALREADY addicted to this processed garbage. We're already suffering from a myriad of health issues that Keto/low-carb/carnivore diets fixes and eliminates. I'm sure you wouldn't offer a former smoker or alcoholic some smokes and whisky once they've managed to kick their addictions now would you?
Totally. Being in a chronic state of ketosis is absurd, but not quite as problematic as being in a chronic hyperinsulinemic state. Folks in Blue Zone, Inuit, Maasai, Hadza, and other more ancestrally appropriate societies have one thing in common: dipping in and out of a mild ketosis. Nothing at clinical, cancer therapeutic levels, but far from constantly elevated glucose. Since eating more animal foods (protein/fat) and limiting other more processed or plant foods, I’ve found myself in this transitory, mildly ketogenic state.
Because they are trying to convince you to buy their products. Keto industry, vegan industry...they need 'followers'.
There are a TON of people who can't afford the "healthy" foods. I have finally leveled up but before hand I needed to buy the processed foods because the other stuff was 2-4 times more expensive for far less food. Even worst for a family. The system needs to change before people can.
I finally listened to my doctor who told me low carb would be great for me to try bc I have PCOS; im amazed. My energy levels are so stable, I've never been so un-hungry, and my period has a better flow but I have less PMS symptoms. Im hooked.
When I started seeing my endocrinologist I followed their recommendations. First low carb and then transition to Keto. My A1C started dropping along with the weight. I do intermittent fasting as well. So far down from 352 lbs to 162 lbs this morning. My A1C is at 5.3 as of May. Already off 2 diabetes meds, 1 blood pressure med, and antacids. Working to come off metformin and another blood pressure med. Yes, I exercise too.
Bee, can you tell me more? My girlfriend thinks she may have PCOS, has heavy painful flow. She eats a lot of carbs. I had not heard before of a link. We would be interesting to hear what you found.
@@pubwvj sure! If she thinks she has PCOS i HIGHLY recommend she sees a Fertility Specialist. It may be expensive and she'll to get A LOT of tests and bloodwork but its worth it. For years I saw OBGYNs and no one ever even mentioned to test me for PCOS and I suffered most of my life bc of that. So, find a well-rated Fertility Specialist in your area that accepts her insurance and start there.
From what I understand about PCOS is that because of the hormonal imbalance, this could cause issues with insulin that could lead to diabetes if not managed. So thats why eating low carb is recommended bc it causes fewer insulin spikes. Plus, hormones benefit from dietary fat and can be negatively impacted by carbohydrates. So, if she goes low carb, its a good idea for her to increase her dietary fat, protein, and fiber from non-starchy veggies so she feels full/satisfied and it won't turn into a crash diet. She can Google "low carb recipes", find ones she likes, and get started. Hope this helps!
@@pubwvj also, its important for her to see the Fertility Specialist and run ALL the tests because she may not have PCOS. She can have Endometriosis, pcos AND endo, etc. But she won't know until she gets tested. So I think while low carb may help, it would be great for her to get answers first about what is happening and THEN go from there on how to mitigate symptoms.
@@Bee-dg5sk aye, she is going in to the doctor soon. Next week I think.
Fat doesn't make you fat. I may eat 10 carbs even if that. Never even over 20. Fat does not make you fat.
Started to get into an argument with someone on Facebook that said, 'Don't do keto, it's dangerous'. When she told ME to do my research instead of relying on anecdotal information, I realized this was not a battle that was even remotely worth fighting. Just do what you do, folks. Never mind the misinformed haters.
Yeah, do what do lovers do and just give up seeking truth.
Hello.
I wanna share my experience as a vegan and most of my time, I did miss the nutrients in meat and meat itself is what our body relies on as fuel for the fire. Instead of veg, the keto diet gave me more energy instead of the vegan diet.
1:10:00 Good one on the "eggs cause diabetes" story. My boss eats eggs almost every morning. He had diabetes - in fact he's almost to the stage where I expect him to start complaining about some "mysterious ulcer" etc. He's pretty far along. But the eggs are not the reason. The reason is he also eats pancakes, waffles, at lunch eats potato chips, bread, buns, potatoes, drinks beer and wine, his favorite meal is hamburgers and french fries, yes, that's a plural on the burgers. I've tried to tell him numerous times that his way of eating and then having to check his blood sugar and inject insulin all the time is living with "one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas" but it just doesn't sink in. But yeah, blame the eggs...
Yes like back in the 90's clumping red meat eaters in with drinkers and smokers and comparing them with vegetarians who happened to be Seventh Day Adventist, known non drinkers, non smokers and never eat take out.
The smoking, drinking and junk food were completely overlooked and it became solidified truth for 3 decades that red meat will kill you.
all those things have higher calories from fat than carbs
We need FAT3, seriously. Love love love this series
I am always drawn to these documentaries, thinking I've missed some new wisdom. I end up thinking I like what I do personally, so I'll stick with it. No meat, because it's so unappealing to me(not judging). No dairy to avoid inflammation, no sugar because I am sick of the addiction. I enjoy being free from depression and mood shifts. I exercise more because I don't want to be flabby. Just saying do what's right for you, you are intelligent, you are strong, you are insightful, you will be fine. Wishing everyone a good day, stay healthy. Thanks for listening.

As for milk and milk products,…. they should be made with 'non-homogenized' milk. Homogenized is gunky in the body, more promoting of disease.
getting back to basics. I have struggled with my weight for years. I finally decided i was going to start mindful eating. I did decide to eat 16:8 eating plan. I eat a variety of real foods, nothing processed and completely cut out sugar. i have lost 12 lbs in 4 weeks. It takes time to plan meals and to think about what you are eating, but once you start, it becomes second hand. Real food helps, processed foods and sugars don;t. . It really just comes down to being mindful of what you are putting in your mouth.
also following the 80/10/10 model - 80% carbs in the form of fresh fruits & vegs; no more than 10% protein; no more than 10% fat. Consuming animal proteins is really just reprocessing the plants the animals got their amino acids from. Plants have more than sufficient amino acids, the building blocks of protein. To much protein causes the body to keep building even tho it doesn't need to, which results in overgrowth or deformation of existing cells, commonly called cancer. Too much fat means your body can't process out toxins therefore creates fat pockets to store toxins away from the organs, more commonly known as obesity.
Don't take diet or any other advice from the government, period!
"You can't run away from your diet." - great line!
I was vegan, whole food plant based diet, for about 4-5 years. My mental and physical health plummeted. I now eat a lower carb animal based diet, mostly beef, eggs and butter… it’s only been 9 months of eating this way and my mental and physical health issues are gone. Completely.

I was a whole food vegan for about 2 year, constantly hungry, I lost weight at the first few months, then I started to have terrible cystic acne, it was terrible. I was in my 30s and my belly was just not going away no matter how much I worked out. I stumbled upon keto, one month later, my skin cleared up. I was so happy to eat meat again. I started to see my stomach flat for the first time in my life. And omg, all the bloating and gas are gone. Since then I am low carb.
Most of people eat predominantly plant based.Eliud Kipchoge for instance and all of his running friends
All the vegans I know are skinny with a prominent distended upper stomach which makes me wonder why. Not for vanity but for whats wrong in their guts. The distance runners are all skinny, pastey and have grey complexions which also worries me.

Start with meat and vegatables. Eat a little fruit(one thing a day) Stay away from simple sugar and processed meals. Put olive oil on salads and othervegatables. Walk 40 minutes. Alternate Red meat every other day. fats will make u full. I am doing all this and working out and i feel alot better. Water is important as well as electrolytes.. Stress good fats(ex olive oil, white meats). I dont call anything diets. Once in a while have a peice a candy. It is actually simple.. Also eat less
I was working out 3-5 days a week for 1.5 years before going keto and gained 20 lbs. Started Keto almost a year ago and lost 60lbs so far. I lost most of it early on and have been maintaining for about the last 7-8 months or so. It's been a life changer for me. Biggest issue for me was having to buy new clothes but no complaints from me...
I do believe your progress, but not the reason. I'm glad it worked for you but the only thing that works is looking at energy in vs energy out. Since you started keto, you probably consume less calories in combination with more protein and can sustain more muscle, which have a high energy requirement. It's not because you excluded a food group, it's because you balanced your intake.
Interesting because I had to go high carb/low fat with my 5 day gym work outs in order for my weight loss to work... I really think it's different for everyone but I say everything in moderation plus movement is going to be the healthiest lifestyle out there! Congrats on your accomplishment!
@@daniels-mo9ol I do agree that there might have been a calorie reduction but the only reason why I was able to get on that calorie reduction was because I got off the insulin train. Before going keto, I would get ravenous when I was hungry which felt like all the time which indicated insulin resistance. Now I'm not 100% sold on the calorie in/out because I still eat a ton and most of it is high fat high protein diet which we all know fat has 9 cal/g vs the 4 of protein/carbs. Saying calories in/out assumes that our bodies are machines without built in adaptations. Cal in/out also assumes our bodies are 100% efficient in processing the intake of calories especially since each calorie type affects your body differently when intaked.
@@rileyboy66 yup, everybody is different. Weird thing is when I went keto, I stopped working out because I was worried about not having the energy. I am still fairly active because I have a hard time staying in one place but I just started mountain biking again a couple months ago so I'm trying to get my body to adapt to higher stress exercise while keto and so far its going pretty good.
try a carnivorous ketogenic diet 🔥
I'm carnivore these days, and my psoriasis has gone. I tried vegetarian and vegan and raw diets, i tried paleo. Strangely it was only carnivore that's stopped my problem. Anyway, so I agree with what's this is saying.
For me it was cutting out dairy and going vegan. 5 days and it was gone. Life changing
Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease. Your body is reacting to certain plant proteins by mistake and it is causing inflammation. You remove the trigger, your skin gets better. Carnivore definitely works but there may be long term health consequences you may not expect. It's best you try to actually heal your gut issues and reintroduce some vegetables rather than covering your problem with a bandaid
@@sharonboyden5660 Problems will arise. Veganism is sadly a temporary fix
@@justinevans2118 it’s the way of the future. And it’s not just dietary. It’s ethical. Done right, it’s an amazing thing. I have stupid amounts of energy
@@sharonboyden5660 It’s not the way to the future. If it was the proper way to eat, wouldn’t people have ate like that a long time ago? Our cecum is not made to process all that fiber and plants. It literally goes straight through you and in return, you barely get nutrients. You have to be reliant on supplements to get in your vitamins and nutrients. We are omnivores. We are made to eat all the food groups. Sugar being on the lower end. Like in the video, long term vegans have switched up their diet because it caught up to them. There is studies out there that shows vegans brains shrinking due to the lack of B12. Plants do not have everything you need. I cut out red meat most of my life and everyday, I would crave meat. Not like a sugar craving, but more of a need rather than a want. I went keto and my health changed. My blood work is amazing. I’m gaining muscle while losing fat. I’m the same weight as I was but with less fat. Every time I see a vegan, they’re either skinny, or fat. No muscle. Now I will say there is vegan bodybuilders, but they complain of having a lack of energy constantly. So they supplement it with crack loads of caffeine and supplements. It’s not sustainable. It will catch up with you! Let me know when it does and share your story later down the road!
Fat1 changed my life. For 40 years I’ve eaten a carb loaded diet believing it was healthy. I only started keto to find out if Vinnie was an irresponsible quack or if he was onto something. My initial 3 month keto trial made me feel so good that now, 3 years later, I am 100% keto and never want to go back to carbs again.
the problem is not "carbs" per se, but the impact on your blood sugar. Eating foods low on the glycemic index has a keto-like effect.
try a carnivorous diet 🥩
Keto or low carb is not healthy. Carbs are needed for things like optimal testosterone production. Just eat the right carbs.
@@manne8575 some people are in a ketogenic state eating low carb/high fiber foods. Rye bread, tubers, potatoes etc. The problem has not been keto or not but the impact on your glucose levels.
@@manne8575 eating high quality animal foods + tubers, potatoes, vegetables is the optimal omnivore diet
I’m listening to both sides and making decisions that make sense to me for me. I truly believe that if we went back to supporting and encouraging more small family farms to produce our food ethically and sustainably we could eat healthier and better. The mass production is the cause of this mess we are all in. Education is the key and I think the younger generation is getting better at weeding out the mess of junk information.
If you possibly can, grow a few plants like collards and arugula and things that you can just go out and pick a few leaves to include in your meals, keep "pets" like laying hens, quail, etc., you can keep fish like tilapia or carp if you have space for a pond, and you can determine what they eat in all these cases.
Mass production is not the cause of this. Your food choices are.
@@cincin4515it is in a way but if natural food was the norm then prices would go down as it would be in plentiful supply and it would then be less strain on the health sector.
@@cincin4515 yes and no. We have an issue here in the states where the government supports monocrops. Most farmers grow either corn/soy or beets/soy. (soy add nitrogen to the soil preventing crop rotation) Most food we eat here is from other countries (there are small exceptions like lettuce, avocadoes or oranges and even then those are supplemented with produce from other countries) Food processing consumes a great deal of what we grow (outside of exports). While it is true that buying local is better, that isn't always an option, even with things like co-ops and farmers markets. Those subsidies are a incentive to keep those farmers from growing varied crops that can be sold within the states.
There was a time when I weighed almost a 100Kgs. It was hard to lose all that fat in a conventional way like daily cardio, limiting calories, eating greens. The only I pulled myself down to 79Kgs was by going KETO. Lost that difference in about 5 months. That's the only time I did Keto and it was so beneficial for that short time. I don't consider KETO sustainable for me. I'm on maintenance mode, lifting weights and staying away from bread, sugar and soda, plus intermittent fasting. SUGAR IS REALLY BAD FOR YOU..period.
Same with me, but also had high blood pressure. Strange how managing sugar changed things. My doctor told me to follow the dash diet which is high in grains and low fat. Little wonder I could not manage blood pressure and weight as my liver was producing sugar (insulin) which I did not realise. Strange how fat and cholesterol is blamed. Decided to ignore my doctors advise and reduce carbs and sugars significantly. My health is perfect now and have reduced weight.
Keto kills too many people
Sugar is poisonous.
The deception of the American food industry is just mind boggling.
This documentary even states the problem...we're told to eat this, don't eat that, this is healthy, this is not healthy. No WONDER people are confused.
I am blessed to not live in the US (no offence) and live in a Western country that, whilst we have high levels of obesity and junk food, we have moderate level of advertising of these foods. We have a real CHOICE in my country to eat healthy if we want to, even for people on lower incomes as healthy food has always been readily available and cheap in most parts of my country.
The food deserts in America and overadvertising of junk food, not to mention the oversupply of junk and sugary foods in most American supermarkets is just disgusting.
It is almost criminal.
And how does the American health care system HELP people who end up getting diseases as a result of eating this high-fat, high sugar American diet?
They ask you to pull out your wallet. They won't treat you for operations or surgeries or any treatments unless you have MONEY.
So you're paying industries to get sick by eating fast food, then you're paying AGAIN to get treatment for diseases that are caused by this profit- driven and greedy food industry.
I really feel sorry for most people living in America. Manufacturing food for the American public should NEVER be only about profit. We live in a 'free market' where there is diversity of products, but people really have no real choice over what they eat as nearly everything in America is just another version of sugar or fat. You can't even trust breakfast cereals over there, they're loaded with as much sugar as chocolate.
The only solution is to just be honest with the people about what's in the products. And what effect that has on their bodies. Really educate Americans as to what's causes weight gain, obesity and other health issues.
Of course, there's no money in it for the American food industry, nutrition industry, health care industry. So of course why would they do that?
SMH...the greed. The greed.
Hi. I’m an American and wanted to deeply thank you for your insightful comment. Apples cost more than twinkies here and industries, not people, reap the benefit.
The thing is, we only know what we know, until we know better. That's how science works. They're not lying when it's one thing then, and it's another now. They just have more information. Different results. Studies that have been backed or debunked by other studies. There's no easy answers in science. It's always changing since variables are always changing too.
And also, the only thing that truly causes weight gain is a calorie surplus. That's it. It doesn't matter from which food. You can miraculously eat enough lettuce to be in a surplus and you gain weight. That much we know. The law of thermodynamics is as sure a science that we got.

I have no problem with eating vegetables...with meat. Food should not have have a list of ingredients. Most will agree that processed foods should not be eaten.

i think all diets agree junkfood is the main cause of weight issues which includes fried foods fast foods candy and all the chips and junk any lifestyle change is better then the standard american diet S.A.D.
Love this documentary! It makes me feel confident about the healthy journey I’m on❤
Everyone needs to read Nina Teicholz’s book. Once you read it, you understand where we are, why we are here, and what we should do about it: both personally and politically.
Nailed it. The need to move from fad diet to fad diet. There's folks out there that can recite their medical numbers like accountant's and even track their food components or macros like a detective.
by changing the focus away from meat and towards carbs they can sell cereal, crakers, cakes, cookies and all kinds of processed carbs! You cant just eat a wheat 🌾 stalk! Its not natural to eat processed carbs with added sugar!
Vegetarianism in the US started because of religious views. Kellogg knew that reducing meat/animal food consumption would also reduce the "sin" of lustful urges. Anyone can look that up, don't take my word for it.
@@w1975b I'm pretty sure he was a Seventh Day Adventist. Their founder Ellen Gould White had a vision that a plant based diet is healthier and that meat causes impurity, cancer and lust.
They should be focusing away from fatty foods and redirecting towards carbohydrates but the “whole food carbohydrates“. It’s not that difficult to get it right… this entire documentary was horrible because when they referenced carbs they always inferred junk food but they never addressed actually pure unadulterated Whole Foods. I called bull crap. And yes there is known conspiracies in the food industry. One of the doctors in this documentary even supported that when they mentioned that you can take P values that you want and go out in search of studies that will support it. But this is literally dishonest and hence conspiratorial in nature. I’m a biologist.

All I can say is: following a low fat diet and vegetarian diet ruined my life. I was born premature, into a home where my mother was mentally volatile, suffered from anxiety and depression my whole life. Anorexia and bulemia nervosa from the age of 14, which turned into IBS and chronic fatigue syndrome at 34. I was skeptical about the Atkins diet because everyone said that fat was poison, so I avoided the stuff like it was the plague. Sadly it took a health catastrophe and being severely let down by the medical establishment that I finally took a good hard look at the food industry as a whole and realised I'd been royally screwed over. Gave keto a go and haven't looked back. It hasn't cured my cfs, but no more depression, no extreme hunger, no more joint pain, no more menstrual cramps, no mood swings. I have never felt so at peace in my entire life.
It would be nice to see more medical professionals promoting prolonged fasting for weight loss and overall health. I fast daily for 20 hours with a 4 hour eating window and the weight id been stuck at for over 15 years finally started falling off. I also drastically reduced sugar in my diet to once every 2 months instead of daily.
me too.
People don't like the idea of fasting. It's extremely attractive to people with eating disorders.
You left out that people also drink (sugary toxic) Coke and soft drinks (carbonated or not) with their hamburgers and fries.
but it's healthy because it's 95-99% plant based lol
@@punker4Real 😂
No they didn't. They said that sugary foods are bad for you, so of course that includes soft drinks. That goes without saying.
when I stopped eating sugar (added aand otherwise), vegetable oils and processed stuff to the maximum extend possible, I took back my health. Went from 34% to 20% body fat in 7 months. Unfortunatelly also lost 5 kg of muscle. I am geting those back now with the help of a barbell and a pair of dumbells.
@@inspiringminds7284 Have a look at the way sugar is making us fat.
@@deefee701 Natural sugar isn't bad at all
Don't get how you had to watch the movie to make that change.
@@angelflorence "Added sugar and otherwise" sounds to me like he's trying to say avoid all sugar, added and natural.
There's plenty of videos on TH-cam explaining the difference between the sugar in natural foods and cane sugar/high fructose corn syrup. The person we are replying to stopped eating the latter. I don't know why they said "otherwise" because "sugar" is either naturally occurring or added.
I tried being vegetarian or even vegan multiple times in my 20s and 30s but gave up. I decided to follow what my body craved, what felt good, not just what I thought I should want. I'm now in middle age and my doctors say I'm as healthy as someone on their 20s when they do my labs. BMI of 20. Sleep well and feel great. What I eat?
I'm allergic to eggs, beans, and dairy, but other than that I eat whatever I want, just usually in small quantities. Bacon or sausage is something I eat almost every day. I don't eat breakfast though, more brunch and then dinner, doing intermittent fasting.
I tried keto for a few months and felt great, ended my joint pain. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to lose any weight, so had to stop it, because I lost about 15 pounds and looked gaunt.
Sugar really is addictive. It's been hard bringing back the carbs without continually doing more and more and more. That's a battle I'll commit to fighting though, because I know now that I feel best with little carbs (not none) and lots of fat while going at least 16 hours each day without eating anything. I'm continually trying to have just enough carbs to keep my weight up without intensifying to the point I get worsening joint pain and other problems from sugar.
The next weapon to all of this, vegan or not. Avoid vegetable oils. Not sure if you did. Eat coconut oil, lard and tallow. Not the processed ones. I think you'll feel a difference. Once you do that, based on my short term experience. You can maybe ease into those things you are allergic to. But don't do it if you don't like those things anyways. Heal you intestines with those fats.
The same thing happened to me about losing too much weight so added cream to my coffee instead of milk. It worked.

What a ridiculous statement
The other problem with meat is not the meat but what we are feeding the animals these days...GRAIN!!! Grain fed beef will always be inferior. Grass fed is what we should be eating. Farming methods need to improve across the board.
@Chrome Book Well we dont eat grass now do we?? If an animal is built to eat grain, there doesnt need to be anything wrong with that. Just a reminder... GRAIN is a Grass. What credibility loss?
@@wopperconpalta5356 You can’t possibly think cows are fed a healthy natural diet. Seriously look into what factory farmed meat is fed and how unnatural the whole process is. Avoid it at all costs.
@@wopperconpalta5356 cows used to be sent out to graze, mostly ate grass, problem is, it doesn't enable insane growth, so they switched to grains that support weight gain and growth more, at the cost of their health

@@wopperconpalta5356 Cows were never meant to eat grain. Grass is what they are supposed to eat.
A BIG thank you to these doctors who found out the truth and are fixing our health!! 👏🏻👏🏻
I am low carb for life! I love this way of eating!
Until the next 'experts' shun everything you’re hearing here and come up with the next 'new discovery' about food.
This has worked for me. One meal a day, no veg oils, lots of butter, cream, lard, tallow. Do not consume the refined anything. Sugar or oils. I love burgers and lots of cheese, lots of whole veggies. I feel the best I've ever been. Follow this to a T. Remove all of the bad things they say. I have zero cravings for sugar or fried foods. I have no cravings for anything in general. I'm calmer, full all day in general. Just let the hunger pang pass. I've never stopped moderate alcohol consumption during this trial of 12 days today. I've lost 2 whole pant sizes. And exercising with no pain, high energy.
You'd be very comfortable at my house! I do the same.

@@wobblybobenglandthe only reason you'd say that is you're vegan and feel threatened by someone saying you're diet sucks and made them ill.
It's impossible for me to overeat on a high fat protein diet. My stomach, brain, and mouth all say "No more!" and I will easily--EASILY--put down the fork and walk away. Not so with other diets (and I've tried them all). Even when full to the point of bursting, I could always stuff in one more bite...then another...and another...and another. (Consuming more = buying more, and what brand doesn't want that?) I can honestly say that in my nearly 65 years I have never felt as good and energetic as I do eating this way.
Yea you can over eat. You shouldn’t eat to the point of feeling sick
@@georgepipito2802 Allow me to clarify....I, personally, cannot overeat on this diet. I've never stuffed myself, especially to the point of feeling sick, because once I'm full the very thought of putting more in my mouth literally gags me.
That is because fat is a proper human diet... the body has mechanisms to tell you when to stop, through hormones in the gut, leptin for the brain, and stretch receptors in the stomach. It's a negative feedback mechanism. Carbohydrates, however, deliver only positive feedback... they want you to eat more of them, and that is a survival hack in our DNA to fatten up for the winter, when animals will be hard to find. This worked well 250,000 years ago, when we did not know how to farm, preserve and store plants. Now, look at us in 2022...
@@georgepipito2802 You can't... the body won't allow you to over-eat food. It only allow you to over-eat carbohydrates.
@@doctorismellburnttoast9423 And that is how it should be. Feeling queasy from fat is the body's signaling mechanism to tell you that have had enough. This is normal bodily function.
Thank u guys for making it free to watch for all
Thank you very much for this well-produced, thought-provoking, polite but iconoclastic, balanced look at the directions in which the different forces in nutrition, governance, and industry pull all of us. Your video helped me understand that, no matter how well-pedigreed a speaker is, no matter how self-confident, no matter how much grey hair or experience, and no matter how "settled" their position, they can still be absolutely wrong.
No thought-provoking here. They start by presenting some facts about doubtful science and malpractices in the nutrition industry done in the past, and midway through the show they present their approach as the absolute truth you should trust. Not surprisingly, the narrative transitions from fact checking at the beginning to purely emotional towards the end. That's how charlatans get you.
It was still a bit biased towards meat eating though. There were plenty of incorrect statements in there still. I think the best thing is to cut processed food down but eat everything in moderation. The only diet actually proven with multiple studies is plant based but that is where people work at the nutrition. You can’t just eat chips. Most people don’t find that doable though.
LOL
In India, a very large population has been eating only vegetarian food for generations and we have been doing good. No issue of deficiency of macronutrients.
Is that why y”all look so sick and skinny looking India is on top of the list of countries with malnutrition. Funny how proud you are
Straight out of google
In India 44% of children under the age of 5 are underweight. 72% of infants and 52% of married women have anemia. Research has conclusively shown that malnutrition during pregnancy causes the child to have an increased risk of future diseases, physical retardation, and reduced cognitive abilities.
No beef?🐂
India has an epidemic of diabetes.
No issue, apart from India having one of the highest rates of diabetes, high rates of visceral type of obesity and rather disappointing life expectancy
A red meat based ketogenic isn’t for everyone, but the info from this documentary is still important. Whatever your diet is, cutting sugar and becoming more physically active will do wonders for your health.
Sadly my taste buds were dealt a bad hand in life and I hate the taste of most meat so I became a vegetarian by default.
About 5 years ago I cut around 80% of added sugar from my diet and moderated carbs to around 40% of my intake (it’s not close to keto I know but I gotta live a little!) and hit the gym 3x a week
The benefits of cutting sugar were immediate. I had more energy, could focus better, and was less irritable. Over the next few years I lost 45 pounds, feel much better and I no longer get these dizzy attacks I used to get.
Well, red meat is for the majority. You, and others who are like you, are the significant minority and can still intake fat and protein while avoiding carbs. You choose not to. That’s on you, soy boy.
Zoey Harcombe is a low carb advocate nutritionist for years. She eats no meat herself. Her personal diet is eggs for breaky, goats cheese salad for lunch and brown rice and veggies for tea. She owns goats.
Not all diets have to be strict ketogenic to work. Americans take everything to the far extremes.
@@cincin4515 INCORRECT, Zoe used to be vegetarian but that was long ago. "I started eating meat and fish again in 2010. This was a personal choice and I respect all personal choices in this delicate area....
I am fortunate, living in the countryside in Wales, to be able to eat meat, eggs and dairy from pasture living animals. I also eat fish - especially oily - white fish is less nutritious." quote from her own website
Also she is not a nutritionist. She is a RESEARCHER. Yes she did publish a diet book, about losing weight by not mixing fat and carbs, but she is a Science Researcher. Her weekly newsletter analyses published science studies to see if they are valid or not.
I've done a myriad of N1 diet experiments in my life including vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, calorie in/calorie out, low fat high carb, Currently I am meat based carnivore and of all the diets I've tried this is the sweet spot for me from a well being stand point. Better blood sugar control, better brain function, better energy, no brain fog, lower blood pressure, effortless weight loss, no digestive issues, no depression. Everyone needs to find their own sweet spot, but excess carbs and seed oils in any diet is problematic.
1. Correlation is not Causality.
2. Need to correct for cofounders.
3. Need to identify vested interests behind studies.

Regardless which extreme you eat in, no doubt we all try to avoid ultra processed food like substances.

Quit sugary drinks and snacks long ago. Then the "hype" event started. Gained 20lbs/10kg over a year. Felt awful and blood tests were out of norm. Now, dropped most of the weight, got a physically demanding job, feel great. I did cut out more carbs but nothing crazy. Eating better and getting a workout while working has done well for me.
I'm happy that you feel better. I would like you to do something. Go look up the amount of calories that exercise burns. Compare that to what you eat. You will find that one hour of say jogging might offset an apple, if your jogging is high impact.
@@davidmiller9485 Yeah, a 95 cal apple is either running a 10 min mile or about a 30 min walk. I've read that for every pound of fat, it takes about 3500 extra cals to gain it. I usually don't eat for at least 12 hours before work so usually no food for 16-24 hours most days. Cheers.

Keto gave me insomnia and constant thirst, so it was not for me. However, doing keto did teach me that I do great on a low-carb diet. I keep it to around 75 grams per day, and my carbs come only from veggies and limited fruit. The rest of my diet is meat, eggs, and butter. (No milk or cheese.) I also eat a limited amount of nuts and seeds.
Me too suffered the insomnia and even hyper activity on keto. I had to add back small servings of starch at each meal which still had me losing weight but much more comfortably. I also started growing a beard which stopped when adding back some carbs. (I'm a women that shouldn't have to deal with that many whiskers)
One thing I’ve learned about weight loss is that there is no ‘one size fits all’. You simply have to try different ways and see which is the best one for you.
I totally agree with you. Meat doesn't work for me, makes me feel heavy, low on energy, miserable, and constipated for days while plants makes me feel alive again. Plus I only experienced menstrual cramps on a meat diet. So I think we should educate ourselves more and listen to our bodies.

At the end of the day Balance seems like the answer to almost (if not all) issues people are confused about and deal with.
I'm vegan, I changed for ideology and not health, but FOR ME, ended up being a lot healthier. I don't believe meat/red meat is the Satan of food (only of ethics), but sugar, processed food, etc. But I also think is also important to highlight that before the obesity crises we didn't eat meat that frequently. Any food when is damn too much is unhealthy. And people who eats meat usually eat 3x day everyday forever and end up eating very few veggies.
Right! And it's just not sustainable for so many people. Meat is exorbitantly expensive. I have three kids, how am I supposed to feed a family that eats meat every meal? It's also highly unsustainable for the planet! I would be very interested to hear these scientists speak on the n=1 studies (which are arguably anecdotal) for people over say, age 70. How many of the oldest among us eat a ketogenic diet and actually live longer as a result? I can certainly acquiesce that perhaps a keto diet can create protective factors for neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, but I would appreciate to see those studies, as well. We already know from the literature that often, talk therapy can be as effective as psychotropic medications.
The blanket statement of "people who eats meat usually eat 3x day everyday forever" is false. Many people who eat carnivore or keto actually eat fewer than 3 times a day, it's called intermittent fasting. OMAD is pretty popular, that's "one meal a day". So your statement holds no water as any kind of argument.
@Louise Tamiazzo....Sigh....ALL CREATURES...Plant, Animal, Fish and Foul FEEL PAIN!! It's been proven over and over. This Eco System was setup so that something must consume the Energy of another Living Creature in order to continue to function. This includes your Plants. Plants NEED Carbon Dioxide and Methane as well as Nitrogen in order to Photo Synthesize the Sun's Radiation.
Animals and Plants feed off of each other. It's synergistic.
Oh...and Food Crops take up more land and use 5x the water that "Meat" production needs.
When you eat Fruit...you are eating Plant Babies...when you Eat Seeds you are eating Plant Embryos. When you eat Fruit and then plant the Seeds you have taken away their NATURAL Nutrients and now have to either use Man Made ingredients to replace them or let them try to start on their own while handicapped due to you consuming their Natural Nutrients.
Oh, you want to just tear off a Leaf and leave the rest of the plant for later?? That's like breaking off the Foot of a Pig to eat. You leave it alive but now it is Maimed and Crippled.
I watched a video of EPCOT's "Behind The Seeds" tour. I was in tears seeing the TORTURE they do to PLANTS there!! Hydroponics is like having a constant Cavity with Air blowing across it when their Roots are out of Soil and kept constantly misted with their mix. Will they live and make BABIES being kept in PAIN like that??? Sure they will but it is not good or benevolent.
Whether it is Plant or Animal, there is Pain and Suffering in the obtaining of Nutrients for it to Sustain It's own life.
One needs to look to the CREATOR of this WORLD and ask WHY it made Life here so Cruel and Painful for the creatures they put here to continue living.
Will you go on a Campaign to eradicate all Venus Fly Taps since the Kill and murder Animals in a VERY Painful way?? Would you go kill the Rabbit eating from your Garden?? Or maybe you will put a Muzzle on it so it can never devour another plant that it needs in order to continue living?? Of course not.
Also remember that in the "Natural World" or "Nature" so to speak, almost everything that is consumed is done so while it is still alive and watching itself be consumed in the Animal Kingdom. Unless it died naturally or by accident and then it's remains were scavenged.
@@w1975b MOST people eat meat three times a day, doesnt matter if you are carnivore, omnivore or keto, if you some up the Kalories, its the same.
Its ham for breakfast.
Meat dish for dinner
And meat dinner at night.
Many people forgett that diced meat is still meat. Same with their turkey sandwiche on the go.
@@codybanks9944ok. let's say they feel the same pain. Do you know how much plant a cow eats before I eat the cow? Years feeding a entire cow is a hell of plants, like A LOT, I'd never eat that much in my life. and i can eat the entire cow in few days/weeks. So, as someone who needs to eat something, maths proves vegan is the way for less pain (but if you don't care about that, is another story and everyone can make a choice, or eat less at least)
Guys! Balance, just eat a balanced diet... Fruits are not bad, won't cause you fatty liver , our ancestors always ate fruits, meat and some form of grains for thousands and thousands of years
Absolutely on point.
It's ridiculous how we've come to the point of thinking that fruit and berries are seen as unhealthy, and some even think they're just as bad as sugary processed snacks.
There is NO FIBER in the processed crap, they suck it out in the poison factories (in the name of profit.) That fiber is supposed to help your body process that natural sugar so it doesn't get stuck inside you in the form of fat and ruin your organs. Simple as that.
It is just so horrifying how we are eating all this junk just to keep our stomachs full. Take the nutrients out and add sugar, and bam, here we are sicker than ever, pointing the finger at fat and or carbs, for example.
I blame politicians alot, Nixon to name one.
The truth is right under our noses, people!
You're trying to get through to extremists. One end of the spectrum vs the other.
Myself thrives on high protein eggs with a slice of buttered toast for breakfast for years now which ended my lifetime of obesity and blood sugar fluctuations problems.
Unfortunately theres nothing exciting about non extremist mediocracy.
I don't eat animal products and I have often dismissed anyone else's opinion surrounding diet or watched any documentaries with opposing views. Although I still stand with my views around animal products. I learned a few things in here that I appreciated and I'm glad I watched it. I completely agree that heavily processed foods where ever they come from is bad for us. I personally gain weight quickly when I eat a lot of, fake meats, oils, processed white flours and sugars. I stay slim when eating a lot of veggies, legumes, whole grains and fruit.
Mental health has also been a huge factor in how healthy I am physically. I have not had anemia since I've healed from a lot of my past trauma and learned to process my emotions and stresses properly I had struggled with it for years even before I stopped eating animals.
try a ketogenic carnivorous diet. best for mental health.
I doubt your emotions or "trauma" has much to do with your food choices.
For me, functional without chronic disease (diabetic, inflammation, pain, ... ) means healthy
I've been eating keto for 3 months. Down 30 lbs. Cut my triglycerides in half. I feel great!
There are so many branches to consider when we look at food. I think the confusion and why there is sooo much information out there regarding what's healthy and what's not is that there is so much to consider. From the amount of food, to how our food is being processed and what hormones are being added. From there we get into the ethics of how animals are raised and treated for mass consumption, and the cost on us as individuals to be able to chooses grass fed, free roaming, organic meat products.
Keto totally messed up my hormones. I missed my period and when I finally got it I had horrible cramps and diarrhea. When I did a high carb diet it didn’t delay my cycle and I had hardly any cramps. Keto is definitely not for everyone.
you ate too many plants, try a carnivorous ketogenic diet. if you want carbs eat fruit, AVOID grains, legumes, nuts, vegetables and seeds.
Ohhh the old brown laser 🌪🧻🧻🪦
Yes, i have methylation issues and keto made my anxiety and depression 1000x worse. It’s not a one size fits all
Keto is really only for epilepsy. A little Ketosis is fine through intermittent fasting though.
What birth control, was your hornones perfect ... questions, none wants to anser yo
I have a new appreciation for Nina Teicholz. I love her persistent determination.
Here's something for my exercise-avoidant friends. Being obese makes exercising WAY worse. I have a lot of personal experience with this. When I went on keto and lost a good amount of weight, I gained a greater capacity to exercise. Namely, aerobic exercise. In school I was never able to complete a 1-mile run without having to walk. After losing weight with keto, without starving myself, in conjunction with time-restricted eating, I found that jogging was far easier and even kind of fun.
I followed with my doctor and my cholesterol improved (it was never high, but my HDL was low), my GERD resolved (especially with time-restricted eating), I drastically improved my blood pressure, and I had my doctor's blessing despite not being a keto-positive doctor.
The medical advice was simply "You've lost weight and improved all your biomarkers and blood pressure. Keep doing what you're doing because it's clearly working"
I got distracted. If you're suffering from obesity, try time-restricted eating if not full ketosis. Lose some weight first and slowly add exercise. It's an amazing feeling to have a significant improvement in your exercise capacity by simply losing excessive weight
This was an interesting documentary.
I am vegan for many reasons, the animals and environment being two of them.
I think you can be a healthy meat eater and a healthy vegan. You can also be an extremely unhealthy vegan or meat eater if you fill your diet with junk food or do not eat a well balanced diet.
I think this documentary is the perfect example of how science can be interpreted in different ways to back up a persons ideology and that goes for both camps.
Perhaps we should work out what our own priorities are and leave others to do the same. If we aim for moderation all around we should be somewhere near a healthy diet, whether that includes meat and dairy or not.
Joelle you have a really good point in here - the same as we do the TDM to determine the dose of a medicament, every person needs different amount of different nutrients in their food. Every person is unique. That is the reason there is no one fits all recommendation...
You will really appreciate this great interview. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/hwzHv2H7bx4/w-d-xo.html
You are the voice of reason. Tortorich is an idiot who thinks bacon is healthy.
The environment will suffer because of veganism. We need the animals on the land instead of the millions of tons of toxins that are sprayed on our food every year. It's killing the soil and turning to sand, it's also giving us cancer. We need the animals back on the land where they can grow the soil the way they always did.
Wear a CGM and see how healthy a vegan diet is.
I'm so glad it's now possible to sidestep the MSM and find information like this. If it wasn't for internet I'd probably still be trying to lose weight on low-fat, high-carb diets.
As someone who eats a Whole Foods plant based diet, I agree that impossible is not “healthy” just because it’s labeled vegan. I have it maybe once a month if I go out with family. Just like someone who treats themselves to fast food or something (then again I live in America so … 😂). I think whatever diet you choose, get yourself checked, and eat what makes you feel your best 🙃… also wish more people of different diets would be open to see other types of documentaries that challenge their way of thinking/doing, think this was done well 👌
How do you feel on your diet? And how long have you been on it?
How long have you been on a WFPD?
@@justinevans2118 Sorry not good at replying on TH-cam cause I don’t comment much. Very late response, but it has been good to me. For me it helped rid of my acid reflux and lose weight. I can also see my blood tests come back more favorable. Also, my energy level is significantly different. I definitely think anyone can achieve these results with different diets, but I really enjoy this lifestyle. I think a dieting choice should be something that is sustainable, delicious, and overall helps your quality of life. Been WFP for 5 years now.

Food is medicine. Someone needs to tell pharmaceutical and stop it with their poison pokes!
I agree with sugar being bad for you and eliminating as many refined carbs and processed foods as possible. It's the completely grain free and no fruit thing I can't get past. Even if we technically don't need carbs, what about vitamins and minerals and antioxidants? I can see someone with diabetes and or obesity benefitting from a keto diet temporarily but I really don't think the average person needs to go to such extremes.
I think the point is that carnivores don't develop vitamin deficiencies because meat, especially organ meat contains micronutrients like minerals and vitamins, too.
The other point is carbs decreasing the digestion of certain micronutrients, therefore needing to take in less of them on carnivore and keto diets
@@vorostabletta5345 OK but I'm pretty sure humans are omnivores. I was on board with a lot of what was said, but when people start talking about eliminating natural nutritious food for health they lose me. Eliminating foods for ethical reasons is entirely different. My grandparents never had weight or health issues and they ate bread every day. They also barely ever ate processed foods and limited sugar.
@@MsKatze I don't think there is a problem with eating other stuff, I don't exclusively eat meat.
But omnivore only means we have means to digest meat and veggies, so you are perfectly suitable to live on just meat, if you choose to. Omnivore doesn't mean one has to eat plants, just that one is able to.
@@vorostabletta5345 I understand that, I don't eat meat but I could if I wanted to. So we can live on either. My whole point is this, these documentaries start with talking about the obesity and diabetes epidemic. They make good points about how fat has been wrongly demonized etc. But it always in with the extreme of grains are bad, even fruit. They're basically doing the same thing the anti fat mob did. Bread and fruit have been around long before obesity was an issue in our society. Why not point out the real problem, the majority of what many Americans eat shouldn't even be classified as food, instead of telling people that grains are bad. It's the over consumption of sugar and unpronouncable ingredients that's making people fat and sick.
My sentiments exactly. It may be good to achieve short term goals but i dont see it being sustainable as a lifestyle change
"NSNG" == No Sugar, No Grains
- Vinnie Tortorich
tell it brother.
Vegans never think that if their ancestors hadn't eaten meat, they would never have been born. Food is a circle, everything eats meat, even trees and insects. We're all living off each other.
Totally agreed
All we need to do is appreciate what nature offers us so try not wast of it or over asking it. And when our times off give our body back to mother earth in good condition to contribute to generated cycles.
Everything eat meat, but not as much as we eat today. If you were being charitable, we’re eating much more meat and everything else in general more than our ancestors. And if you want to be ultra charitable you would also agree that we’re eating much less vegetables than our ancestor.
@@henrytep8884 I have nothing against people eating vegetables. It's the grain I am angry about. That is what people are eating most of. It's what's making people sick and what's making companies rich. It's also what's making the land toxic.
People are eating mostly wheat, soy, rice, sugar, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, and all the other seeds that are being made into oils that are now being lined up on the supermarket shelves. Fifty years ago they were not there. Now they're a hundred of them and they're taking up millions of square miles of land and billions of gallons of water to grow them. This land was used for grassland.
Have you seen the way those oils are made? Really: They're not fit for human consumption. We need more vegetables and meat. Meat that belongs on the land.
Exactly... for anything to live, something has to die. Rather than naively thinking meat eaters hurt animals, appreciate the circle of life. That's just how it is.
@@henrytep8884 True, we are eating way more meat than our ancestors did, but we are growing exponentially more plants than our ancestors ever did, and that is what is actually killing the planet.
This is so twisted, you go from talking about carbohydrates straight into a tirade on sugar which has nothing to do with whole plant foods that have complex carbohydrates And are packaged with thousands of beneficial nutrients. Sugar is literally in our DNA and we have evolved to salivate amylase at the mere thought of eating to break down complex carbohydrates and use glucose preferentially over fat and protein. But sugar, or sacchrides need to be delivered into the bloodstream slow from whole plant foods not processed sugars. This documentary is a mess of confounding processed oil and sugar with eating the healthiest whole plant foods
Finally, a sane comment. Reading through these i'm getting really concerned for our species.
@@EternalJourneys no doubt!!
True
You are completely wrong.
@@LarenGreyUmphlett Such an informative response, thanks so much for spending time to share such a wealth of insight
It's really simple to be healthy with food and exercise: eat the most variety of whole foods as possible. But not in excess, only eat as much as you need. Avoid processed food as much as possible. Exercise to gain and maintain a healthy amount of muscle mass and also exercise to strengthen you're cardiovascular system, creating endurance not just strength.
I agree..... but this message gets misconstrude as 'just run it off'. You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet..... certainly not for an extended period of time and into our more senior years...... ie beyond 40.
I'm glad getting and staying healthy is easy for you. It's not for all of us, though. I have been going to the gym for roughly 6 hours a week and eating home-cooked meals from whole foods almost exclusively for years and I am still struggling with my weight. I use intermittent fasting, lowering my carb count, and only drink water and coffee. As I've gotten older, it has only become more difficult. The body wants to stay in homeostasis. I have been overweight since I was about 10 years old. Stasis, for me, is overweight. Breaking through this and losing the last 40+ pounds is hard for me, because it's not "normal" for my body.
@@billyt9921 With Carol M's clear message and there is a comment like this, Food is clearly not an issue for some people.
Oh my god, I was waiting fot this movie! Your first movie has changed my life in a huge way🙏🏻❤️
It’s still biased. I’d keep researching and looking at more studies. Some is good but lots of false anti plant statements. You need to eat them
Imagine being that matter of fact about saying sugar cures diabetics 🤦♂
The one thing I would have loved to see more of is a discussion of fiber. It seems like the takeaway is that now the Keto diet is best for people but Keto leaves no room for beans, which are high in dietary fiber. The link between fiber and insulin seems like another area in the understanding of digestion that wasn't discussed.
plenty of fiber in leafy greens
@@koffing2073 1 cup kale: 2.6g fiber, 3.6g protein
1 cup black beans: 15g fiber, 15.2g protein
And fermentation too. Christopher Gardeners' study found high fiber not very beneficial at reducing information, but it was 20-fold when fermented foods were included. And there are no long-term studies on a meat-rich keto diet.
There is no requirement in the human diet for fibre, you cannot digest it and removing it from your diet entirety will cause no ill effect.
@@Sean-fj9pn I'm not really here to argue, and you're definitely right, fiber cannot be digested, that's sorta the point. Fiber and water is the libricant of our digestive system. It's material to pass through. Without it my understanding is there's a rise in different digestive issues, such as constipation. But I'm not an expert.
Excellent from start to finish! A sequel as good as the first one! Thank you, Vinnie, for presenting this life transforming information in such an accessible way. I’m a personal trainer who has been keto/low carb for 3 years. I’ve never felt, looked or performed better.❤️🙏🏻❤️
While many people have successfully followed this diet, there are some issues and considerations to be aware of: This is a diet not a life style. Guaranteed to cause issues in the long run and shortens life expectancy. Training or not. It is a fact, not myth!
Nutrient deficiencies: Following a ketogenic diet restricts several food groups, including fruits, whole grains, and legumes, which are important sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Without careful planning and monitoring, there is a risk of deficiencies in essential nutrients such as vitamin C, folate, and potassium.
Keto flu: When transitioning to a ketogenic diet, some people experience symptoms known as the "keto flu." These can include fatigue, headache, irritability, dizziness, and nausea. These symptoms are usually temporary and can be minimized by staying properly hydrated and ensuring adequate electrolyte intake.
Digestive issues: A sudden increase in fat consumption can lead to digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. It is important to maintain a balanced intake of fiber and hydrate well to support healthy digestion.
Risk of nutritional imbalances: The high-fat nature of the ketogenic diet can lead to imbalances in certain fats, specifically an excessive intake of saturated fats. It is important to prioritize healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil while moderating the intake of saturated fats from animal products.
Sustainability and social challenges: The strict nature of the ketogenic diet can make it difficult to sustain in the long term. It requires careful meal planning and can be challenging to follow in social situations, making it less practical for some individuals.
Between this and eating whole food plant based IM CONFUSED. ALL yal do is confuse people. This movie added more confusion. Geeez. What to eat now?
"Eggs should be illegal "
Omg bro what World do the Americans live in??
What about the antibiotics introduced in factory farming? You are consuming all of that when you eat meat. The US is the largest producer of meat, majority produced by factory farming. At the same time, I understand the argument of consuming vegetables with harmful fertilizers sprayed on them. Can affect your body of you don’t wash them. But what would you choose? Dead animal injected with antibiotics or veggies grown with fertilizers?
Either way I’m absolutely against the refined sugar and carb industry! That stuff is known to cause most metabolic diseases like diabetes, PCOS, obesity, etc.
I cut down on processed sugar, processed carbs and processed meat. Ate mostly veggies and fruits. Lost 20 pounds in a year, no exercise except hikes on the weekends. Which was consistent to what I was doing before. *Notice i mentioned cut down but not eliminate. I had fish once or twice a month. Dessert once bi-weekly. Drank a few on the weekends. Vs before I did not moderate this way.
How is cutting fruit and all grains less extreme than cutting meat and dairy?
I don't think cutting them is what they're saying, more like change the quantities.
I use the science of a keto based diet and cycle it into my over all eating habits. Also fasting is a tool I use. Over all we definitely need to get away from processed foods especially highly refined carbs that have long shelf life and seed oils. I am not someone who stays in a ketogenic state permanently as we need to come out of it sometimes and stay metabolically flexible.
You are 100% correct. Many get stuck on the idea they need to stay keto all the time. Yes, it has benefits, but as long as someone is consuming minimal carbs (even as low as zero, there are NOT any essential carbs to consume for health/life) and keeping Randle cycle activation low (meaning inflammation, insulin resistance, etc are also low), people will be healthier.
edit - to come out of keto without consuming carbs, increase protein and decrease fat
what scientists also don't consider is that everyone is different, so as veganism works for me and i am healthy and full of energy, some people's bodies won't thrive as well as mine. So you really gotta find what foods work best for yourown body.
Absolutely. I hate that vegetarian doesn't work for me. I also refuse to do keto. It makes me yak.
How long have you been vegan?
@@HelenEk7 about two years now
Far too much opinion and far too low on peer reviewed evidence. The points may be valid but show quality evidence to back it up.
This is literally JUST ANOTHER “documentary” telling people what the “right” way to eat is. How is this not the same kind of “propaganda” as the vegan documentary they called out in the beginning?
It promotes health rather than sells pea protein.
@@johnbennett7407 that’s highly debatable, all of these “diet” films are biased as hell. But you do you.
@@johnbennett7407 nah i find this very biased against sugars when that is absolutely not the problem. i eat sugar on the daily and i eaten pizza weekly and still lost 70 pounds and maintain a healthy lifestyle
Eating nothing but meat, eggs and butter literally saved my life.
I used to eat "healthy" fruits and veggies much more than the average person. Made my own bread and ate only organic non GMO everything else. I did eat meat and eggs but limited the amount. The same with butter.
Once I got rid of everything but the high fat animal foods I got healthy real fast.
I get what you're saying entirely. Each model, system, diet or ideology has it's own band of devout disciples who not only promote their own point of view but will happily use tons loads of confirmation bias to debunk others.
However, the science does seem to be clearly moving in the direction of realising that sugar AND starchy carbs are way more problematic than we once thought, and that a little natural fat isn't so bad after all.
But it's up to each individual to decide what makes sense to them and see how their bodies respond.
I was hoping to hear something fresh from Dr. Rob Lustig in Part 2.
Well... the documentary was great.
GJ!
Lustig is half-assed. He's only half right, but half very wrong. Better off ignoring him to avoid the confusion.
@@nevillegoddard4966 Or listen to the half, be consistant, change your life and improve your health, get fit, healthy, strong and happy and five years later what he was wrong about.

You started nicely with "don't demonize any group of food" and you continue with fruit is candy. Is pure heroine, that's for sure. That video came randomly and I don't know what your opinions are, but then it was another keto video. The thing is every diet is healthier than eating junk, so when a person goes from garbage to real food, even if it is pure animal fat, or potatoes for 20 days or bananas for 100 years, you end up loosing weight just because you stopped putting "non food" In your body. The problem with extreme diets, keto, plant based, raw food, is that are not sustainable in the long run. Once in a while there are people they succeed on them because they tried hard, and then they make money out of that. And then they try to find scientific data to back up their success. You even talked about how there is no conspiracy to force you eat meat, but there is conspiracy to make you eat grains. Yes pasta is the absolute pure evil. Plant based diet indeed reverse diabetes. I have done it. Ji do not follow any more thought.
When I quit seed oils. You mean I'm not suppose to have bleeding gums, peeling inner mouth, bleeding ears, acne, eczema, etc. It sucks that I have to avoid seed oils as it's in everything.
The problem is, there is not ONE diet that fits for all. Every film/study complaints about another stating that the other is just wrong and we know better. No, THAT is wrong. Every body is unique and acts and digests differently. One can digest gluten, the next cannot. One can digest milk, the other cannot. One has allergies, the other has not. Etc etc etc. At the end of the day each one us has to figure it out ourselves by watching our body. What makes you tired (with me it's pasta and rice). What is causing bowl problems (with me it's certain vegs). What makes you feel energized? I think we can agree on that we should cook ourselves most times and use unprocessed food as much as possible. Everything else we need to figure out ourselves.
