From India. In 1994, my husband had a quad bypass surgery. I found Dr. Dean Ornish's Reversing Heart Disease. I followed the plant based, totally oil and fat-free diet, no processed foods either. Milk and yogurt were skimmed. I never ate eggs and no cheese either. I avoided all foods that had fat in ithem. I lost weight to begin with, but by 2017, I was my heaviest ever. That was 23 years later. I then went low-carb, avoiding fruit, vegetables that grew underground, added olive oil, some butter, whole milk, eggs, and cheese. But I continued being vegetarian. My weight dropped off fairly fast, down 10 kg in a few months, and my hba1c was down to 5.7 from 6.5. I am 77 now, female, very active, and exercise daily to keep fit. That's my story! So the fat free, vegetarian diet did not work for me.
Never heard of this fat free vegetarian diet. It's always whole foods, no oils, no meat, no dairy (you ate fat in the dairy)... So is it supposed to work when people follow it the way they want? 🤷🏼
Who are you to critique someone else’s experience? They now do something that works well for them while eating a fair amount of fat. Very obnoxious of you to try and shutdown their experience because you don’t subscribe to it.
Fascinating, your husband has a bypass yet you report your outcome of your pseudo ornish diet. Is your husband on the same diet as you and climbing mountains?
I reversed my decades long type 2 diabetes by lifestyle choices. I wish I had known then what I know now. I just needed to cut out sugar, highly processed foods and most carbohydrates. I stayed below 20 g of carbohydrates a day. My diet could be described as a Mediterranean ketogenic hyper carnivore diet.
Dr Bernstein's "Diabetes solution" should be required reading. He is a type 1 diabetic, still alive now in his 80s - and without the usual health problems that normally are associated with T1d. He knows from many decades of experience, both in his own life and 1000s of other diabetics he has helped. Hint: he's not saying the same thing as Dr Barnard here. At 46:50, best thing to do is try those breakfast recommendations and then measure how high things like "cinnamon raisin oatmeal" (first on the list) and "orange pineapple crush" (last on the list) send your blood glucose. Next day, try another breakfast with an egg or two, and tea or coffee with nothing in except perhaps a dash of cream. Now measure how high this breakfast sends your blood glucose. Simple. You can check it for yourself, no external influence from "experts", just you and your glucose meter.
Hello all, Eating more fat, increases insulin resistance in the long-term, although it does not elevate the blood sugar immediately . If you are someone that takes insulin, your insulin requirements will keep going up and your diabetes will get worse if they keep on eating fat. The mechanism of insulin resistance walks through accumulation of fat in the cells.
Obviously you don't understand the process. Blood glucose rising for a very short time before being stored as glycogen is not a problem at all. It is how most healthy people live. The problem occurs when insulin resistance happens, and the insulin cannot carry glucose out of the blood and into the cells. The reason that happens is because the insulin receptors on the cells are clogged with fat.
I have gone back and forth with all these guys on info and it took me awhile to make sense of it all but Ken berry and others approach will work especially in the short term but we have to look at the long term results and it's undeniable what's best for our longevity. Carnivore and keto diets are nothing new and the longest lived people are all plant based with all evidence supporting it. And yes there are some exceptions but for the majority plant based is where we need to be long term wise.
I don’t trust doctors who support the meat industry. How can a carnivore diet be healthy if one has to consume animals injected with hormones and antibiotics and fed with GMO’s?
Longest lived people are plant base? Where is your evidence and please don't say Mediterranean and Okinawans because they eat plenty of sea food and meat
It's not the villain that the medical industry wants you to believe. They only profit on the sick. Animal products cause chronic disease. But, they can't tell you that because they'd go bankrupt.
@@davidthomas967 Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you ? If you had put your pork chop down and actually listened to him you would know he said that the fat in meat creates insulin intolerance which then makes it easier for sugar to be a problem than it would be for vegans who eat no animal fat . So blaming diabetes on the secondary problem of eating too much sugar is nonsensical . Typical meat addict : thinking and listening with his taste buds instead of his brain and ears.
Wow yes he looks shockingly good, which proves how great a fully plant based diet is for health and wellness. Those in the "beauty" industry need to see that it's from within, but of course there's no money in that :) unfortunately. I'm only about 10 yrs fully plant based and feel great benefits (age over 60) with NO pains aches, ilnness medications of any kind and blood results are great in annual tests. Lots of my friends (seom younger) are on meds and have health issues adn expect to have more as they age :( One of the great ways we could help encourage people towards a fully plant based diet, would be to show the anit-aging effects on people who have been that way for years. Perhaps vanity might help them try it, if all the other numerous benefits, fail to impress them.
Jordan peterson does the carnivore diet that is the polar opposite of plant based diet and also look incredible for his age,and he clain that the carnivore diet cure so many health issues that no doctor could resolve for years........ You see ....I I don't know which one is better but I am going to try each one to discover what is better for me......
You are so awesome Dr. Bernard, and so humble. Love all the facts you and Cyrus presented here, backed by scientific studies. I have been WFPB for more than 5 years. I was insulin resistant before, steadily gaining weight, and had some conditions that were becoming chronic. Within a few month I had lost 40 lbs, lost Rosacea, arthritis got much better, lost my swollen ankles, lost IBS, lost depression and anxiety, and cholesterol improved. I have had a few deviations on the path, but mostly followed the plan. Then I reached a point where the weight wasn't moving anymore. I then started the intermittent fasting schedule of 16 hours fasting and 8 hours of a feeding window, this past year. I do this most days except after doing weight lifting. So, I have 2 meals, and a couple of low calorie snacks, like fruit. I cut out the occasional processed snack. It made a huge difference, and I lost another 30 lbs! Now my BMI is at 23 and I am pretty content with that. My blood work is great, except I am working on getting my LDL a bit lower. I have lots of energy, and hike, backpack, and garden. Love having clothes fit me well again, and have had to buy new ones! Not a bad problem to have. Love PCRM and Mastering Diabetes. A true life saver. I am 66.
That is awesome!! I’m 62 and trying to make the switch to vegan but my IBS is causing issues. I welcome any suggestions!! I AM at a healthy weight but would like to lose about 10 more lbs but mostly just want to be healthier and feel good (coming from low carb/keto). 😁❣️
@@Ranch-girl Use Beano until your microbiome gets used to all the fiber. Also, fermented foods are good to eat, especially when you are starting out on a plat-based diet.
It seems that people are different in what diet is optimal for them. I was mostly living a vegan lifestyle for decades. I was full of inflammation, my joints hurt as did my muscles, and I was suffering from anxiety. I started to have a bladder disorder (IC with lesions) and was suffering from extreme pain. Out of the last resort, I went on a complete elimination diet and started a Carnivorous Diet. It's been six months now and my inflammation is mostly gone, my muscles stopped hurting, and my IC is greatly improved. I'm not saying that all plant foods are bad, but that some people may be sensitive to some types of plant foods. I just had blood work done and a coronary calcification test. My blood work was practically perfect and I had zero calcium. I don't know what's right and what's not. I do know that I feel better now than I have in years and I've lost 80 lbs. My A1C is 5.1 and my pressure runs at about 108/72. I'm now skeptical of doctors in general in trusting what they think they know and what messages they are trying to push. This doctor is a hardcore vegan and that's fine if it works for him.
It helped him get rid of his diabetes, and this show is about diabetes. I bet you were eating processed carbohydrates, processed oils, packaged foods and sugar as a vegan. The reason you feel better now is because you aren't eating those things.
One size doesn't fit all. I became obese on a vegetarian diet and eating 'low fat' products. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, NAFLD and metabolic syndrome and I weighed 95 kg. After switching to low carbohydrate, healthy fats and moderate unprocessed meat and fish, I lost 25 kg and got rid of all health problems. Now at 72, I'm healthier and fitter than when I was 50. We need healthy fats for the absorbtion of fat soluble vitamins and our brain needs healthy fat too. The problem is that people use highly processed rancid vegetable oils instead of organic cold pressed olive oil or coconut oil and organic butter from grass fed grazing animals.
Me too! Over the years tried vegan/wholefood and then later low fat/low cal and then tried lean meat/wholefood. Tried it all. Got fatter, prediabetic etc. Went keto/mainly carnivore 12 months ago: lost 27kg, blood tests all back to normal, all symptoms gone. So NEVER will I eat plant-based again, nor lean meat, etc. Keto/grass-fed beef, butter, cream, and a few bits of veg for a garnish.
You two don’t understand dieting. Whether it’s steak or tofu if you put more calories in than you need , you will gain weight . This is not rocket science . It’s very illogical to claim that “ oh I gained weight after going vegetarian it must be that the vegetarian diet that made me gain weight !” while simultaneously not keeping check on your calorie intake . Duh.
I love how these docs tell half truths to their listeners. What causes t2d is chronic inflammation period! When you consume refined sugars and flours it immediately spikes blood sugar. This is a very stressful process for the body. Insulin is released to mitigate and bring sugars under control. When you eat fruits and vegetables the fiber does the mitigating for you get it? When you eat fats and sugar together, it causes stress. The body has to deal with sugar first and then the fat droplets will build up in cells causing more inflammation. This is called the Randle cycle. If you eat predominantly one or the other the body isn't under constant stress which in turn causes inflammation. This is what's really going on instead of their stupid scare tactics saying fats cause heart disease.
Spot on target, the fat free diet has never worked. If a cell is full it will not absorb fat or glucose unless it is a specialised cell we call those cells fat cells. See Dr David Unwin on you tube, or google his glycemic index to see what foods have the excess sugar in them counted in tea spoons.
@@magicsupamoggie Hello. You eat either predominantly fats and animal products or fruits and vegetables ( anything with fiber). What you don't eat are processed foods.

(10) I am a committed carnivore and was whole food vegetarian for 18 years. Plant base also did not work for me. I gained weight and had many health challenges. I have been a carnivore now for 5 months. All my health issues have either greatly improved or completely gone away. I have lost 50 pounds and my lab work shows improvement in every metabolic marker. I no longer believe that humans were designed for a plant based diet.
That is my experience too. I was very sick on the Ornish diet and developed thyroid cancer. I was pre-diabetic. I went keto whole food then carnivore most recently. HbA1c is 4.7. I feel amazing. And my weight is stable for the first time in 10 years. And i am going menopause, where most women gain 20 pounds. My endocrinologist cannot understand how this is working for me, but he conceded that I should continue. The numbers don't lie. He ignores the ldl cholesterol number and looks at triglycerides to hdl ratio. Mine is 1 and I have an hdl of 90. We reviewed my historical bloodwork and he says he doesn't understand it but...keep on.
It is not about what you “not eat”. It matters what is actually going into you mouth. Vegan food can be unhealthy too if it includes processed and calorie Rich food. Diets like Keto look wonderful in short term but not sustainable. When people get cancer down the road from all the inflammation accumulating in the body from meat eating. The TH-camrs that tell you to eat meat are not going to take any responsibility for that.
This is confusing. When my HbA1C went up to 6.25, I went on a keto diet which was high on meat and in 3 months my HbA1C was down to 5.6. I have a friend who has always been vegan and he has turned diabetic.
Whloefood veggie diet sent me prediabetic anf fat (took 69 years mind!). Keto/beef/butter this last 12 months has removed 27kg of my wobbly fat, put my blood results back to normal, and removed all my symptoms. Suggest you watch Drs Ben Bickman, Zoe Harcombe, David Unwin, Ken Berry, etc. and tune in to Low Carb Down Under for info.
"The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a non-profit animal liberation research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.," so, the founder of this organisation thinks that meat causes type 2 diabetes. Quelle surprise.
I think it has more to do with nutrition than not eating meat since there is no studies that prove this is what caused his condition in the first place it could have been caused by eating bread right?
Very well explained. No one in India understands the matter you explain so well. They think that carbs are to blame for diabetes 2. I am a starchbased vegetarian. I eat fruits and a ittle amount of nuts and use very little oil. I shun dairy like the plague! I am a 67 year old lady and recently won the bronze in theTCS world 10 k with a timing of 1 hour, 9 mins. I coach tennis on weekends and teach piano too. My small grandkids are impressed with my 100 meters dash in 18 seconds. Bystanders too!
Carbs can cause diabetes, as the doctor said, excess fat will cause diabetes. Unused carbohydrates in your bloodstream will get converted to fat, and can cause diabetes.
Since I stopped eating plants and now only eat beef, eggs, my health has improved greatly. Eczema that I’ve had for the last 20 years has now disappeared.
1.5 southern Arizona. Wish me luck, I'm going to start the transition to plant based eating. I am concerned about how much I will miss cheese and butter...and I guess I will start selling my organic chicken eggs.
Good luck . Wise choice . Yes you will likely have a problem stopping eating cheese because it is well-documented that cheese is one of the most addictive things we can put in our mouths . The good news is that there are more and more good vegan cheeses created all the time .
My weight dropped off like a stone on a fat-free diet. And I mean totally fat free. Also, my running speed and exercise endurance, including my VO2 MAX rapidly increased within a matter of 2 weeks, and kept improving. I'm lean a lean machine, now.
Dr. Barnard has obviously not read the studies showing that an increase in total cholesterol and an increase in LDL (which turns out to not be the "bad" cholesterol as he labeled it) actually show many improved markers in cardiovascular health. HIs information is sorely out of date. Blaming cholesterol for arteriosclerosis is like blaming the fireman for the house burning down. Cholesterol arrives in the arteries to heal damaged areas. The damage that comes from inflammation from an improper diet - a diet that includes very inflammatory foods like seed oils. It is amazing how he alters the truth about cholesterol that has been proved in many studies in the last 10 years, to show an increase in total cholesterol and an increase in LDL cholesterol actually decreases the level of all cause mortality. constitutes
Well, I'm a carnivore and I add pure cream to my coffee. My A1C is between 3.8 and 4.2 when I get it tested on the occasion it has been and I'm seventy-two years old.
@@yangtse55 My Cholesterol is very high but my heart and brain is fine. I've had no problems with health. I've been a virtual carnivore for over thirty years, since I was placed on the diet by an immunologist and I'm still alive and kicking.
Hi. Many people with diabetes switch to a keto diet of high fat and high protein. How do you reconcile that with the low fat plant based diet talked about here?
Well I do not concur, I have lost 100 lbs by utilizing keto and then switching to carnivore. My A1C was over 8, and now it's 5.3. I quit carbs. BBCE, beef, bacon, cheese, and eggs. I feel great, and all my blood numbers are optimal! I did my own N=1, and personally, I don't listen to doctors anymore. Cheers.
Not being funny but have you been keeping g up with cholesterol those meets also clog arteries . Again no offense intended. Please check on that..peace n light. Oh and much congrats to your weight loss and sugar level. Woohhoo!💪🏾👍🏽✌🏽
@@naasiramuhammad2457 dietary cholesterol has minimal to no impact on cholesterol levels. Your body produces way more cholesterol every day than you can eat and regulates it's production based on dietary intake. Cholesterol only gets out of whack if something is interfering with the system usually chronic inflammation.
Then you came to a vegan presentation to achieve what exactly? Share your n of 1 anecdotes? You meaty gaslighters and Dr Berry zealots are hilarious. Thanks for sharing
And what happens to your blood sugar if you eat a banana? Because if it spikes through the roof, it means you're still insulin resistant. The keto/carnivore diet is just masking the symptoms of insulin resistance by removing carbs. True reversal of insulin resistance is being able to eat carbs while keeping blood glucose in range.
This was interesting, but it felt like traveling back in time to the 1990's. Old messaging that saturated fats are bad for you. Highly processed fats are of course bad for you, but natural fats from meats and eggs etc have been eaten by humans for thosands of years. I've wasted so much of my life eating a low fat diet and still being a bit overweight and I was hungry all the time. Now I eat 'real' food, eggs, cheese, meats, nuts, oats, salad, olive oil, butter, fullfat milk, coconut oil and I've never felt better. I lost 14 pounds in 3 months and I can literally eat until I'm full each meal and not put weight on. Not knocking a vegan diet, but carbs and sugars seem so obviously responsible for diabetes, not fat.
It might be that you are not up to date. "Seed oil kills you" is the new narrativ. And you cannot live a healthy live without fat. Simply look to these "carnivores". Never ever, I saw healthier and happier people like these.
Hi I am from Sri Lanka. As brain cells are made of fat, will the no fat diet affect memory in the elderly. It has been shown in studies, that use of Statin to lower cholesterol causes memory loss. Would like to have your opinion/ solutions for this.
You have good fats in flax seeds, nut milk, veg and fruits. They are sufficient. Regarding statin drugs they are extremely dangerous. They affect your natural cholostral production in your body by inhibiting a chemical chain reaction in the body. This inhimits many healthy chemicals also like coq10 etc. which causes more damage to the body
Only plants make Omega-3's fatty acids. For example, walnuts, plant algae, and ground flax seeds. The human brain only feeds off of glucose, which comes from unprocessed whole plants and fungi.
Excellent, excellent presentation.. one of those occasions where Dr. Bernard present slides with data . He is a master at explaining medical research in very simple terms that the average person can relate to.
Dr. Barnard mentioned a situation where your doctor mentions a plant based diet. I had to chuckle. My cardiologist told my wife and I that a plant based diet is really the best! But then he went on to tell us to eat more chicken and fish than beef and some dairy too. Uggghhh. At least since he said it, he’s heard it somewhere. That is a good sign! By the way, I love Dr. Barnard! Genus do knowledgeable and explains things so clearly. Thank you fir all your hard work! 👏👍👊😎
Fish contains essential DHA and EPA omega 3, that otherwise you can only get through algae. Line seed oil has ALA, but your body hardly converts it into the other two omega 3s. Take care of your vit A, D3, K2, zinc, iron, iodine, selenium that you probably won't get from veggies.
How could this Dr still say that cholesterol intake has any effect on circulating blood cholesterol😮. It doesn’t matter if you eat cholesterol or not humans make as much cholesterol as the body requires. Of course saturated fat may contribute to blood cholesterol- but cholesterol does not cause arteriosclerosis. Newer studies are showing that there are other metabolites causing arteriosclerosis and finger is pointing to sugar causing glycation of glycocalyx with resultant inflammation. In fact high blood cholesterol appears to be protective especially in the elderly. Vegetarians/vegan may work for some but ketovore works magic for my 85 year old diabetic mother! And it works to put cancer in remission. Any food lifestyle that departs from the SAD diet will help but sustenance is the issue. To each his own. My health - my life!!!
I grew up on a cattle ranch, have eaten meat all my life at 71 years, my Coronary Calcium test came back at .0001%. Plant based does not give enough protein or B vitamins, which requires supplements. Diabetes is genetic in my family, I tested for pre-diabetes 7 years ago, high blood pressure, weight gain. I removed sugar, complex carbs, seed oils and grains, dropped my A1C to normal range, lowered blood pressure and lost 40 pounds. Food is individual based, plant based is not for everyone nor is the carnivore diet.
Could you please link the studies that have shown intramyocellular fat accumulation in muscle cells causes insulin resistance and the mode of action. Thanks
What Dr Barnard describes is over eating. If the cells are replete with energy, you should not feel hungry. Not understanding the concept any other way. Enough nutrients and fuel =full. Not enough nutrients and fuel=hungry.
I'm a vegetarian but I don't like beans. Part of the reason I eat eggs and dairy is because I'm not getting any protein from meat or beans. What can I do to offset that within the confines of a vegan diet?
Quinoa, seitan, spelt, amaranth, nuts & seeds, I'm not vegetarian but these are high protein foods that are not beans. My daughter won't eat beans either so I've looked into this before. I hope you find protein rich foods that you like that also satisfy your dietary requirements.
There are so many types of beans - and ways of cooking them. I used to hate beans, and all kinds of similar veg (sweetcorn, peas) but now I’m okay with any bean. But I definitely prefer them to be overcooked and mushed up. Or in a bean roast. I prefer chickpeas, mung and lentils though. So, is that pulses rather than legumes?
Animal fat free is not a requirement for weight loss or good health. Cholesterol and animal fat are not the enemy. How do you think our species developed? They ate animals and fruits in season. Fat does not cause insulin resistance. I'd like to see Barnard debate Westman, Bikman, Berry, Diamond, Ekberg, Mason and other low carb advocates that cite real studies.
Look at Dr Nagra's channel, he has debates about saturated fat with keto and carnivore debates. The research is clear: saturated fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
I'm confused. Dr Barnard calls saturated fat "bad fat", but when I eat fiber, my gut bacteria produce short chained fatty acids like butyurate, which are saturated. Does that mean that eating fiber also is "bad"? And how come that the liver produces 1500 milligrams of cholesterol per day even if I don't eat anything? I think we need better science, don't you agree?
short chain fatty acids are produced in the large intestine where they are the main energy source for the cells that line the large intestine; saturated fat comes in through the food you eat and is absorbed by your small intestine and deposited all over your body including your arteries. scfa is essential for good colon health; saturated fat is not. bottom line: scfa is not fat.
Enough information available from proper research that saturated fat is not bad for e.g. heart health. Note that you need fish or algae based supplements containing essential DHA and EPA omega 3. Line seed oil has ALA, but your body hardly converts it into the other two omega 3s. Take care of your vit A, D3, K2, zinc, iron, iodine, selenium that you probably won't get from veggies.
There's nothing wrong with saturated fat, that's the very stuff we're made of. We have a brain that is 60% fat and 20% cholesterol and if you listen to him, you'll end up senile. Don't starve your brain.
I won't. I eat steak and butter every day. I was just questioning "not doctor" Barnards' logic and total lack of scientific underpinning to his claims. Ok?@@toni4729

@@Hikari7775 YOUR BUBBLE BURST A VERY LONG TIME AGO. We don't need sugar at all. We require 4mg. glucose at any one time in our blood which goes all over our system including our brain.

You are telling me to eat a diet that requires B12 supplementation that did not exist prior to 1950s. This diet cannot be healthy for our grand fathers, they didn't had B12, so you are saying that it is somehow healthy for humans? How about those humans, the generation of humans before B12 was made in the factory, do they get unhealthy on your diet? What makes you arrogant enough to say a manmade product can trump million's of years of evolution. Have a look at Games of Thrones, do you see any plants they eat. It it outright dangerous for Dr. Bernard to promote his Seven's Day Adventist agenda. Check out Dr. Chaffee, who does not get paid by big phama, religion and agriculture.
Dr Barnard... "a healthy diet is a plant based diet" Also Dr Barnard... "everyone on a plant based diet needs to be taking B12 daily for the rest of their lives" This is obviously not the natural or optimal diet for humans.
Nope. Not until processed foods were introduced and shipped up to them. But, I've heard people describe them as 'rare genetic outliers', or something similar. They are still homosapien sapiens. Like all of us. It''s not whether you eat meat, or vegetables or dairy (unless you have specific tolerance or allergy/condition), it's all the damn processed food and overeating/undermoving. That's really the most of it. And why are the processed foods so bad? Because they are full of modern-created chemicals, additives/preservatives, hydrogenated seed oils, and various forms of sugar and wheat gluten and MSGs. If you justs avoid those, eat whatever you want and you'll be much healthier. It is better to minimize or avoid grain items though (unless you are buying real ancient grains) because most of the stuff in america now is made with dwarf wheat and it's really not good for you (it's what most of our flour is made of, so almost all of our breads, pastas, pastries, cereals, etc are dwarf wheat).
@@bobthaler8828you are close. The body cannot deposit fat in the absence of insulin. Insulin is the signal, or key, that the body uses to deposit fat. High insulin is caused by excess carbohydrates, not fat. Fat burning mode is turned on in your body when you have low insulin. The reason for this is that low insulin means no carbohydrates, which means no glucose, so your Citric acid pathway turns to fat instead of glucose.
Before I started injections for a B12 deficiency my A1C was 2 after injections my AIC is 5.2 very frustrating. No change in diet. B12 is supposed to imorove insulin sensitivity. It is so frustrating. B12 deficiency apparently can be instrumental is causing diabetes. Well for it semms to heading in the opposite direction. It's not the food for me, I eat well.
There is a war going on between the plant-based and meat-fat based, but there is some common ground here: make your own food, don't go to extremes on those things that taste really good (fats, high glycemic foods), and know that different people have different biological needs, so please don't turn your preferred diet into a moral campaign to push on others. I was a vegetarian for 9 years and I developed a lot of serious digestion problems. I lost way too much weight and had to stop. My vegetarian friends abandoned me as my problems challenged their world view. Now I am having medical problems with the opposite food philosophy. Clearly the correct path is somewhere between some of these extreme diets. Know your body as a unique creature and find something other that food for rallying together a social life.
IT IS A MORAL ISSUE: WHOLE foods...legumes, veg., fruits, whole grains, greens and you will be slim and healthy...it's that simple. Carbs are NOT the enemy, animal products are. 68, no meds, no illness, slim.....for 20 years now. For your health, the animals, the planet...win/win!!
Keto works for me. I'm still losing weight after a lifetime of low fat high carb foolishness. Special K, with skim milk, dry toast, and orange juice ruined my body.
That's very different from what Dr Barnard is recommending. You ate low nutrient empty calorie junk and you blame the low fat content. That's not the right way to do a low fat diet. You need to eat whole foods.
@@ronaldlenz5745 Pretty sure nobody is recommending a diet full of low fat junk.

@@Hikari7775don't be so sure about it. I did eat quite a junk food (but not the moderns junk food which is a total crap) for some 40 years - during school, later during medical scool and while working in emerency medicine. The reason for that was - I mostly had no time enough to have a good slow cooked meals and I lived in Soviet Union, where good healthy products were privilege to high ranking functionals... My food during service in army was disaster. And nevertheless I was very lean, full of energy and had no problems to work night shifts and carry stretchers with patient when needed. O.K. You can say, it's because I was young... I continued eating crap afterwards, because I continued studying medicine, while working night shifts and mostly was short in time to swallow even that crap I continued to eat. It was all wrong - worst food, very intense mind blowing studies and totally ruined circadian rhythms. Still - healthy and fit, except for a spinal injury from lifting stretchers with an owerveight person and carrying him down very steep stairs. Everything was still fine until I decided to try being vegetarian. It was because of my daughter, who went vegetarian and I decided to support her choice being vegetarian as well. I was avoiding meat of all sorts and fish was never my favorite, neither it was available in abundance in our shops. After year or so I started feeling some small ailments and got a feeling that something is not perfect with my body as was before. I returned to meat, but it didn't improve anything. I started to pay more attention to the quality of my food. At that time I had no more night shifts, the income was good, the food was in abundance (the Soviet time was long gone), but insted of improving, I started to gain weight and my cholesterol and blood sugar started to raise. I stopped any added sugar, any animal fat, didn't eat any butter. Instead I preferred fruits, berries, olive oil and, cottage cheese, skim milk and other "healthy" dairy products. Nothing good came out of eating "healthy". I got sludge in gall bladder and irritable bowel and went to our prominent gastroenterologists. They recommended me to take "good bacteria" and pancreatic enzymes. I took these and everything went worse. Probably, because the "good bacterias" gave me SIBO...Then I decided stop listening to prominent doctors and start listening my body + started searching internet on different opinion, not tought me during my studies of medicine. In the result of that I came to information on carnivore and keto. I started low carbohydrate diet, closer to carnivore than keto. No sugar, no bread, no milk or dairy at all. So far I lost those few kilograms which were around my waist and got back a normal bowel function. This might be anecdotal story, but my life on crap food was way better than when I did healthy diet and being vegetarian was total disaster to me. 😂
@@Hikari7775 Dr. Barnard has a brain still, but I don't know what it's made from. They're usually made from 60% fat and 20% cholesterol. He's starving his. There's not a lot of education on vegan aged, because it hasn't been going long but I'll guarantee, senility.
I liked the video & believe 90% of it but I think listing all beef in with fast food is a far stretch here! Beef sales are down (40%) from past years yet heart disease grows on pace with the fast food industry. 🤔 My dad just missed being 97. He was a beef eater even late nights & grazed all day. If hungry he ate. Eggs & bacon in the AM, 3 ham sandwiches for lunch at work was the go to meal. He had all quality foods. He ate foods from his garden for 1/3 the year too & that was it for plants but it was high quantity for 4 months with beef. In the supermarkets the rest of the year he pouted on the quality. 😢 He also exercised all in just his yard & in the garden. He never had a weed. He walk to the post office, gas for mower & to his MD even in his 90's all within a mile going one-way. He also slept for 8 hours a day & on schedule. I think all of us react differently, need moderation with quality & you need to find what works for you. You need to enjoy life & the foods you eat. Good luck with your health. ❤
@@solomonsalsberg5961 It takes homework. 🙆♂️ I know! Turn it into a game. Don't believe just one video watch more from different MD's with an emphasis on nutrition. Youll know whos good quick enough. I started wanting to know more on vitamins & minerals just looking at cal's is not enough as just in the early 2000's they said you can eat anything just stay at 2,000 cal's & that was wrong. If your doing 10k to 15k of steps per day or are inactive doing 1500k to 3k too. You need to fing a balance with a small deficit with you activity. I do just -250 daily cals. Your activities change how much cal intake you need. Take it slow exercise helps send oxygen to your cells & brain. I read only 15% benifit for nutrition which I agree with baded on my #'s I've tracked for 9 yrs now. It's much more complicated than all these diets say. After my dad & pup past & CV started. I gained wight. I now removed it & more. My new goal is going for my high school wait about April 2025 slowly & to keep it off. I started by reducing sugar & carb's to start & increase my fiber #'s when shopping on each item, improve by just a gram at a time & take it slow 🐌 ! Is a good way to start & make sure you still like the taste. I tried all creamers for coffee & they all failed FOR ME so back to milk. They mentioned cheese 🧀 in this video. You don't have to cut it all out but just use less like 1/2 on a sandwich including the bread cut in triangles & load up on the other healthy items & use only 20% on your pizza & add heathy topping like 4oz of mushrooms. You still taste the cheese & don't miss the excess cal's at all. I cut 17 days of cals a yr on just the pizza cheese this yr vs buying from my pizza place. Make your own 🍕 too so you know what's in it. If you don't want to make the crust buy a wheat based one with fiber thats refrigerated like Woodgrilled by the pizza gourmet. I hope some of this helps you 💜 & good luck 🍀 on your journey. 🛣 One more note watch out for grinder breads they have more sugar than you think. Remember nutrition labels can be off by 25% too.
Please explain the biochemical pathways that result in an increase in the intramyocellular fat ; as insulin is an anabolic harmone. With this explanation and biochemical basis , it sounds hollow like an infotainment.
@@MrGeorgewf We shouldn't eat sugar either. We require one teaspoon full in our body at any one time. That works out to 4mg. And our body can make it from our fat. I've been doing this for thirty years. The Inuits have been doing it their entire lives. A lot of people on this planet have never seen sugar yet they live and their teeth are good and healthy.
How did the people who are already nutritionally compromised with blood mutations like MTHFR do who are generally B12 deficient? We are all different. There is no one of a kind human diet. I like a low carb rule of thirds. 1/3 Protein from animals, 1/3 fats 1/3 carbohydrates and this diet will not be sufficient for Celiacs and those that are gluten intolerant as all grains contain different types of gluten.Rice contains Orzenin and Corn contains Zein. This would never work for me at all.
Health care costs are out of control. Going WFPB vegan can save money, pain and suffering from disease. Lower your chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer by going vegan. Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices.
I've been plant-based for 4 yrs - but slowly added in vegan "meats", and then real cheese. Looks like I'm jumping off the cheese wagon again. GREAT information! Thank you!
Im frustrated with the confusion on what my lifestyle is compaired to how the body works with quality breads rye pumpernickel sprouted .. Am frustrated with dr gregger too and all the info coming out that 8s not mainstream yet. It takes 5 yrs from discovery to make it to main stream ..
I went from an A1C of 8 to 5.1 I put coconut oil in my morning, coffee, and extra-virgin olive oil in my large salad. I eat modest protein, mostly plant base my exercise, mostly Walking😊
@@iss8504I eat a dry coconut every day, I am so addicted to this nut, my health is great, no meds of any kind other than a b12. In my 78 th year 2 months away I am in good health. I take Dr's with a great of salt. As a t 2 diabetic I say sugar is the cause that I have T2. Dr's were not taught about nutrition, now all of a sudden they are experts. I say do not pig out food and you will be OK. As for T1 I say the milk powder that mothers fed their babies is the caused. This milk is so sweet it's no wonder to exist

Thank you for adding that statistic because I forget 90% at least probably I mean not everything but I was getting worried thank you now back to the show
Do we know details about veg defenses that give the eater a drop of some type of lectin or something that has to do with joint pains. I stopped night shades but foot still hurt where toes meet foot, cut down on flour products, but built up over 2 yrs of veg eating to 2 cups a meal and cut back to almost 25% veg to 75% meat.. My feet feel much better. I want to use meat product in 1 to 2 oz portions as flavor and make my veg taste great. It seems i dont over heat my good oils and use quality butter but is this sat fat issue just pertaining to over processed oils. Or am i headed for a heart attack. I am medium well at keeping moving all day due to job and a bike as transportation im 56 and beyond chef accomplishments and schooling and i just want to eat Right!! I would look foward to my veg mixtures and now im fearful of eating to much and was considering carnivore for a month after a fast and introduce veg back slowly to see what the heck happened with my feet.. I asked my doctor and they said they know nothing about it.. 😮
Beans. Because I don't need the calories, my wheat intake amounts to 30g per day ( breakfast) and I could probably learn to eliminate even that if I needed to.
When I read the comments from people for and against the low-fat vegan diet I can see a very clear pattern, although they all think they are right and have done badly with one or another diet. What they all have in common is weight loss. If you lose weight, everything gets better and if you are overweight you must be doing something wrong even if you think it is the diet's fault.
I'm confused, you say here 00:11, that Diabetes is not caused by sugar. However your guest contradicts that here 30:39 in saying that excess fat of any type (including the type deposited by an excess of sugar) will cause Diabetes. So Dr. Neal Barnard admits that in theory an excess of sugar, which is converted to fat would cause Diabetes, yet you contradict him in essentially saying that if you eat too much sugar, you won't get Diabetes.
26:24 "chiken breast without skin is 23% fat". This is blatantly false. A quick search will show you that chicken breast contains 3% in weight of fat. 20% is the amount of calories due to that fat. But who cares, right, what counts is to push forward the vegan agenda. PS for those who still eat as we did in the last three million years: don't take the skin away: it's plenty of the correct aminoacids that are essential for skin, muscle and tendons growth and repair.
"Study: Eating 3+ Servings of White Rice Daily Linked to 45% Higher Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Asians." Researchers wanted to find out if eating a lot of white rice can increase the risk of getting type 2 diabetes in Asian people. They looked at the results of 7 different studies that followed a total of 352,384 people over time. These studies kept track of how much white rice the people ate and how many of them developed type 2 diabetes. When the researchers combined the data from all the studies, they found that people who ate the most white rice (3 or more servings per day) had a 45% higher chance of getting type 2 diabetes compared to those who ate the least amount of white rice.

It is non sequitur to assume that giving a cohort of SAD diet Americans a vegetarian diet, watching their health improve, and then to say it was the vegetarian diet that solved the problem. The control was against the original diet and all the constituents of that SAD diet, not other equal or better (non-WFPB) diets. So the conclusion here is at best hypothesis generating, not causal that a vegan/vegetarian diet is optimal for reversing T2D. Cholesterol does not "irritate" capillaries. Much of this discussion is medical sleight of hand.
Does intramyocellular lipid content increase as easily eating nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados as it does when eating animal fat or pure plant oils? And does the total amount of fiber in the diet moderate or eliminate the effect?
How do you explain the fantastic advantages of a carnivore diet? We don't have four stomachs, hooves and horns. Our digestive system is very similar to that of a lion, or a wolf and they don't get fat or suffer miserable weight problems. A lion rarely does more than sleep between meals, is relaxed and comfortable.
The way I see it there are at least 2 180 degree opposing ideas, and both show great success in many cases. Maybe science should accept that there is not one truth but many. We all are different, depending on genes, hormones, activity level and kind. Maybe the 'best' diet depends on the individual. I had great success doing the opposite of what is told here. 16/8 fasting with high animal fat and protein, some vegetables and less than 100g sugar/starchy food per day and 6-10hrs exercise per week. Cycling, uphill walking and weights. Lost 10% bodyweight in 2 month. and ride faster at age 61 than 27 years ago when I was sporty too and no couch potatoe either. Sidenote: Every calorie eaten from veggies that cannot be stored or burned immediately (carb stores are limited) is converted to fat and stored. Nobody tells me that this is better than eating fat directly. If eating carbs were better than eating fat evolution would have led us to store carbs directly instead of converting them to fat for storage. I consider low fat diet as total nonsense.
Lactation breast milk from a mother cow turned cheese and cream products are loaded with estrogen. The consumption of animal products leads to estrogen driven cancers such as breast, prostate, and endometrial cancers. We seldom realize the immense cruelty in consuming lactation products such as dairy. All female mother cows and goats are slaughtered when they are no longer able to get pregnant and lactate for their baby.
It's not worth the problem. They call fat a sin but that's what our brain is made from, don't starve it. We also have 20% cholesterol in our brain, and most of our sex hormones are made from it too.
There are excellent plant-based alternatives. Miyoko's makes an excellent oat-based butter. There are many creamers available made from coconut, oat, and soy. Give it a try! I'm on year 11. Also to consider... watch undercover dairy videos. It's appalling to see how dairy is produced.
Can the doctors or PHD tell me if high cholesterol is because of insulin resistance ? I have a sad story to tell you about an Indian gentleman that had high cholesterol. He was a vegetarian most or as long as I knew him. He had high cholesterol before he died. He certainly kept away from any meat or cheese. That didn't allow him to live a healthy life though.. I think doctors there is evidence that vegetarianism cuts down cholesterol but if you are high in cholesterol your liver just makes up the balance even if you just chew grass like a cow...
The FDA obviously cannot pick subjects from India, some of whom are all vegetarian through out their lives. These people are alive but not necessarily free from arteriosclerosis as we say in the West. Obviously 😅 there must be studies done to see why some still have high cholesterol even with a 100% vegetarian diet..😢 You obviously do not know what or why patients suffer from high cholesterol or high glucose is because of insulin resistance..🤔 Oh well, Dr Ben Bikman is who I should ask.
@Hikari7775 Are you saying his occasional intake of ghee or heated butter was so much, that it resulted in his High cholesterol.. I have to disagree about massive intake of ghee or saturated fats..especially as the Doctor was all about how vegetarian diet has minimal cholesterol or saturated fats to the point of most vegetarian dieters losing at least 10% of their weight per year.. Using something like butter to defeat the whole hypothesis of going vegetarian means you are definitely not a vegetarian..I think there are carnivores that have lower cholesterol than myself or this Indian gentleman..
@@shaunkong62 How do you know he didn't eat much saturated fat or that his ghee intake was "occasional"? A vegetarian diet isn't necessarily healthy. I'm vegan myself and same thing, a vegan diet isn't necessarily healthy, you could be vegan and eat french fries and oreos all day. Plus, some people have genetically high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia). And I don't know where you got that number that vegetarians lose 10% of their weight per year lol
@Hikari7775 Look I am NOT promoting any diet especially vegetarian diets. The guy who died eventually was a deeply religious man who didn't excess anything. He was not allowed to take salt because that causes HBP. He didn't have fun in his old age, imagine your DOCTOR told you to cut the flavourful stuff and don't eat fat..I know because generation of poorly trained doctors were told to say the same things over and over. This was in Singapore, a place that is supposedly full of western trained doctors..The fat that he ate a Singaporean type of Indian diet means he didn't eat much sweets either. The Indian who comes from the south of India know all about vegetarian diets..They live their lives and then emigrated to Singapore. Of course we know what is a parata or some vegetarian curry gravy looks like. I am impressed with the 7 day Adventists vegetarian in the US. They eat whatever they want and generally live long. It was even recorded in a documentary..You know we including this Indian gentleman grew up in the 80's and at that time the FDA was very clear, no fats in your diet or you will die of a heart attack. There weren't even doctors who approved of the vegetarian diets.
No. Insulin controls your sugar levels and directs it where to go. Excess sugar is converted to fat for storage, since the blood can only have a small amount of glucose in it at any given time. The problem is NOT fat, it is too much sugar, via sugar, or carbs. I saw many a diabetic patient in my day as a healthcare provider. And the sickest ones were always the ones eating these high carb, lowfat diets (including my own father, as my parents fell for this rhetoric. He's dead now, they both are.) Don't overeat anything, keep all things in moderation.

From India. In 1994, my husband had a quad bypass surgery. I found Dr. Dean Ornish's Reversing Heart Disease. I followed the plant based, totally oil and fat-free diet, no processed foods either. Milk and yogurt were skimmed. I never ate eggs and no cheese either. I avoided all foods that had fat in ithem. I lost weight to begin with, but by 2017, I was my heaviest ever. That was 23 years later. I then went low-carb, avoiding fruit, vegetables that grew underground, added olive oil, some butter, whole milk, eggs, and cheese. But I continued being vegetarian. My weight dropped off fairly fast, down 10 kg in a few months, and my hba1c was down to 5.7 from 6.5. I am 77 now, female, very active, and exercise daily to keep fit. That's my story! So the fat free, vegetarian diet did not work for me.
Never heard of this fat free vegetarian diet. It's always whole foods, no oils, no meat, no dairy (you ate fat in the dairy)... So is it supposed to work when people follow it the way they want? 🤷🏼
Dean Ornish promoted a diet named after him . I believe it was that specific diet that Maya was referring to. @@LOliva19
Who are you to critique someone else’s experience? They now do something that works well for them while eating a fair amount of fat. Very obnoxious of you to try and shutdown their experience because you don’t subscribe to it.
Start eating animal fats and you will be even better.
Fascinating, your husband has a bypass yet you report your outcome of your pseudo ornish diet. Is your husband on the same diet as you and climbing mountains?
I reversed my decades long type 2 diabetes by lifestyle choices. I wish I had known then what I know now. I just needed to cut out sugar, highly processed foods and most carbohydrates. I stayed below 20 g of carbohydrates a day. My diet could be described as a Mediterranean ketogenic hyper carnivore diet.
Dr Bernstein's "Diabetes solution" should be required reading. He is a type 1 diabetic, still alive now in his 80s - and without the usual health problems that normally are associated with T1d. He knows from many decades of experience, both in his own life and 1000s of other diabetics he has helped. Hint: he's not saying the same thing as Dr Barnard here.
At 46:50, best thing to do is try those breakfast recommendations and then measure how high things like "cinnamon raisin oatmeal" (first on the list) and "orange pineapple crush" (last on the list) send your blood glucose. Next day, try another breakfast with an egg or two, and tea or coffee with nothing in except perhaps a dash of cream. Now measure how high this breakfast sends your blood glucose. Simple. You can check it for yourself, no external influence from "experts", just you and your glucose meter.
What of it?
@@l21n18 In other words, do your own experiment to see what actually works for you.
Hello all,
Eating more fat, increases insulin resistance in the long-term, although it does not elevate the blood sugar immediately . If you are someone that takes insulin, your insulin requirements will keep going up and your diabetes will get worse if they keep on eating fat. The mechanism of insulin resistance walks through accumulation of fat in the cells.
@@charishmaboppana You are in dire need of reading Dr Bernstein's book "Diabetes Solution" Although it's for T1d it's still good for T2d
Obviously you don't understand the process. Blood glucose rising for a very short time before being stored as glycogen is not a problem at all. It is how most healthy people live. The problem occurs when insulin resistance happens, and the insulin cannot carry glucose out of the blood and into the cells. The reason that happens is because the insulin receptors on the cells are clogged with fat.
I highly recommend folks check out Dr Ken Berry's videos and books before getting too serious about a plant-based diet.
I have the impression, that he supports the meat industry.
I watched Dr Ken Berry to n am on keto n then carnivore. It helped me with my fatty liver.
I have gone back and forth with all these guys on info and it took me awhile to make sense of it all but Ken berry and others approach will work especially in the short term but we have to look at the long term results and it's undeniable what's best for our longevity. Carnivore and keto diets are nothing new and the longest lived people are all plant based with all evidence supporting it. And yes there are some exceptions but for the majority plant based is where we need to be long term wise.
I don’t trust doctors who support the meat industry. How can a carnivore diet be healthy if one has to consume animals injected with hormones and antibiotics and fed with GMO’s?
Longest lived people are plant base? Where is your evidence and please don't say Mediterranean and Okinawans because they eat plenty of sea food and meat
You are sadly mistaken.
Sugar addiction is real 😊
It's not the villain that the medical industry wants you to believe. They only profit on the sick. Animal products cause chronic disease. But, they can't tell you that because they'd go bankrupt.
Exactly. When someone states that sugar doesn’t cause type 2, then you know they are talking nonsense

@@davidthomas967 Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you ?
If you had put your pork chop down and actually listened to him you would know he said that the fat in meat creates insulin intolerance which then makes it easier for sugar to be a problem than it would be for vegans who eat no animal fat .
So blaming diabetes on the secondary problem of eating too much sugar is nonsensical .
Typical meat addict : thinking and listening with his taste buds instead of his brain and ears.
Vegetable oils are a huge no no.
Dr. Barnard looks to be doing very well at 70 years old. Very inspiring.
Wow yes he looks shockingly good, which proves how great a fully plant based diet is for health and wellness. Those in the "beauty" industry need to see that it's from within, but of course there's no money in that :) unfortunately. I'm only about 10 yrs fully plant based and feel great benefits (age over 60) with NO pains aches, ilnness medications of any kind and blood results are great in annual tests. Lots of my friends (seom younger) are on meds and have health issues adn expect to have more as they age :( One of the great ways we could help encourage people towards a fully plant based diet, would be to show the anit-aging effects on people who have been that way for years. Perhaps vanity might help them try it, if all the other numerous benefits, fail to impress them.
He looks malnourished
@@kmthye How so? Because he's not plump, grey, and old looking like most other doctors?
Jordan peterson does the carnivore diet that is the polar opposite of plant based diet and also look incredible for his age,and he clain that the carnivore diet cure so many health issues that no doctor could resolve for years........
You see ....I I don't know which one is better but I am going to try each one to discover what is better for me......
Agree with many thing ,but eggs are the most complete food there is.......
You are so awesome Dr. Bernard, and so humble. Love all the facts you and Cyrus presented here, backed by scientific studies. I have been WFPB for more than 5 years. I was insulin resistant before, steadily gaining weight, and had some conditions that were becoming chronic. Within a few month I had lost 40 lbs, lost Rosacea, arthritis got much better, lost my swollen ankles, lost IBS, lost depression and anxiety, and cholesterol improved. I have had a few deviations on the path, but mostly followed the plan. Then I reached a point where the weight wasn't moving anymore. I then started the intermittent fasting schedule of 16 hours fasting and 8 hours of a feeding window, this past year. I do this most days except after doing weight lifting. So, I have 2 meals, and a couple of low calorie snacks, like fruit. I cut out the occasional processed snack. It made a huge difference, and I lost another 30 lbs! Now my BMI is at 23 and I am pretty content with that. My blood work is great, except I am working on getting my LDL a bit lower. I have lots of energy, and hike, backpack, and garden. Love having clothes fit me well again, and have had to buy new ones! Not a bad problem to have. Love PCRM and Mastering Diabetes. A true life saver. I am 66.
That is awesome!! I’m 62 and trying to make the switch to vegan but my IBS is causing issues. I welcome any suggestions!! I AM at a healthy weight but would like to lose about 10 more lbs but mostly just want to be healthier and feel good (coming from low carb/keto). 😁❣️
@@Ranch-girl Use Beano until your microbiome gets used to all the fiber. Also, fermented foods are good to eat, especially when you are starting out on a plat-based diet.
@@Ranch-girl I suggest contacting mastering diabetes and looking into their program.
It seems that people are different in what diet is optimal for them. I was mostly living a vegan lifestyle for decades. I was full of inflammation, my joints hurt as did my muscles, and I was suffering from anxiety. I started to have a bladder disorder (IC with lesions) and was suffering from extreme pain. Out of the last resort, I went on a complete elimination diet and started a Carnivorous Diet. It's been six months now and my inflammation is mostly gone, my muscles stopped hurting, and my IC is greatly improved. I'm not saying that all plant foods are bad, but that some people may be sensitive to some types of plant foods. I just had blood work done and a coronary calcification test. My blood work was practically perfect and I had zero calcium. I don't know what's right and what's not. I do know that I feel better now than I have in years and I've lost 80 lbs. My A1C is 5.1 and my pressure runs at about 108/72. I'm now skeptical of doctors in general in trusting what they think they know and what messages they are trying to push. This doctor is a hardcore vegan and that's fine if it works for him.
It helped him get rid of his diabetes, and this show is about diabetes. I bet you were eating processed carbohydrates, processed oils, packaged foods and sugar as a vegan. The reason you feel better now is because you aren't eating those things.
Pufa fat
One size doesn't fit all. I became obese on a vegetarian diet and eating 'low fat' products. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, NAFLD and metabolic syndrome and I weighed 95 kg. After switching to low carbohydrate, healthy fats and moderate unprocessed meat and fish, I lost 25 kg and got rid of all health problems. Now at 72, I'm healthier and fitter than when I was 50. We need healthy fats for the absorbtion of fat soluble vitamins and our brain needs healthy fat too. The problem is that people use highly processed rancid vegetable oils instead of organic cold pressed olive oil or coconut oil and organic butter from grass fed grazing animals.
Me too! Over the years tried vegan/wholefood and then later low fat/low cal and then tried lean meat/wholefood. Tried it all. Got fatter, prediabetic etc. Went keto/mainly carnivore 12 months ago: lost 27kg, blood tests all back to normal, all symptoms gone. So NEVER will I eat plant-based again, nor lean meat, etc. Keto/grass-fed beef, butter, cream, and a few bits of veg for a garnish.
You two don’t understand dieting. Whether it’s steak or tofu if you put more calories in than you need , you will gain weight . This is not rocket science . It’s very illogical to claim that “ oh I gained weight after going vegetarian it must be that the vegetarian diet that made me gain weight !” while simultaneously not keeping check on your calorie intake . Duh.
Blah blah blah whfb will always be better
I think you are lying about what you eat. Meat, milk, cheese, yogurt, fish, etc are NOT vegetarian. Check your LDL level
I love how these docs tell half truths to their listeners. What causes t2d is chronic inflammation period! When you consume refined sugars and flours it immediately spikes blood sugar. This is a very stressful process for the body. Insulin is released to mitigate and bring sugars under control. When you eat fruits and vegetables the fiber does the mitigating for you get it? When you eat fats and sugar together, it causes stress. The body has to deal with sugar first and then the fat droplets will build up in cells causing more inflammation. This is called the Randle cycle. If you eat predominantly one or the other the body isn't under constant stress which in turn causes inflammation. This is what's really going on instead of their stupid scare tactics saying fats cause heart disease.
Spot on target, the fat free diet has never worked. If a cell is full it will not absorb fat or glucose unless it is a specialised cell we call those cells fat cells. See Dr David Unwin on you tube, or google his glycemic index to see what foods have the excess sugar in them counted in tea spoons.
Wrong about both Benny boy and fatty food does cause inflammation but you do you
Agreed. It's ridiculous. Studies that were done to show that high fat is unhealthy were using vegetable oils!

(10) I am a committed carnivore and was whole food vegetarian for 18 years. Plant base also did not work for me. I gained weight and had many health challenges. I have been a carnivore now for 5 months. All my health issues have either greatly improved or completely gone away. I have lost 50 pounds and my lab work shows improvement in every metabolic marker. I no longer believe that humans were designed for a plant based diet.
LDL cholesterol???
That is my experience too. I was very sick on the Ornish diet and developed thyroid cancer. I was pre-diabetic. I went keto whole food then carnivore most recently. HbA1c is 4.7. I feel amazing. And my weight is stable for the first time in 10 years. And i am going menopause, where most women gain 20 pounds.
My endocrinologist cannot understand how this is working for me, but he conceded that I should continue. The numbers don't lie. He ignores the ldl cholesterol number and looks at triglycerides to hdl ratio. Mine is 1 and I have an hdl of 90. We reviewed my historical bloodwork and he says he doesn't understand it but...keep on.
Vegetarian can be very healthy or very unhealthy depending on what you eat. And vegan is also totally different as it excludes dairy and eggs.
Cold pressed olive oil?
It is not about what you “not eat”. It matters what is actually going into you mouth. Vegan food can be unhealthy too if it includes processed and calorie Rich food.
Diets like Keto look wonderful in short term but not sustainable.
When people get cancer down the road from all the inflammation accumulating in the body from meat eating. The TH-camrs that tell you to eat meat are not going to take any responsibility for that.
This is confusing. When my HbA1C went up to 6.25, I went on a keto diet which was high on meat and in 3 months my HbA1C was down to 5.6. I have a friend who has always been vegan and he has turned diabetic.
Just tell your friend they are not eating enough sugar! Duh!
@@edhall1263 after becoming diabetic you want my friend to eat more sugar!😢
Cool story bro
don't be - this plant based crap is destroying peoples' health. They don't realise it not yet...
Whloefood veggie diet sent me prediabetic anf fat (took 69 years mind!). Keto/beef/butter this last 12 months has removed 27kg of my wobbly fat, put my blood results back to normal, and removed all my symptoms.

Dr. Bernard finally at 11:15
"The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a non-profit animal liberation research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C.," so, the founder of this organisation thinks that meat causes type 2 diabetes. Quelle surprise.
That is true but he is still a wealth of information. I do listen more to doctor Hyman though.
Quotation marks don't make your claims truthful.
Yours is a logical fallacy called “ ad hominem attack the source .”
What sort of person thinks that a non-attributed quotes is a type of valid argument ?🤣😂
I think it has more to do with nutrition than not eating meat since there is no studies that prove this is what caused his condition in the first place it could have been caused by eating bread right?
No

Very well explained. No one in India understands the matter you explain so well.

Carbs can cause diabetes, as the doctor said, excess fat will cause diabetes. Unused carbohydrates in your bloodstream will get converted to fat, and can cause diabetes.

Since I stopped eating plants and now only eat beef, eggs, my health has improved greatly.
Eczema that I’ve had for the last 20 years has now disappeared.
lol sure
Good luck with that...cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol are all looming.
I love Dr. Barnard so damn much. How does this man do it all and still remain bright and hopeful for this world.
yes, he is very inspirational!

Good luck . Wise choice . Yes you will likely have a problem stopping eating cheese because it is well-documented that cheese is one of the most addictive things we can put in our mouths . The good news is that there are more and more good vegan cheeses created all the time .
WOW! The more sugar I eat the lower my risk for diabetes? That's fantastic! Sign me up! I'm "cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs"

Thank you so much for sharing this informative pod cast...very helpful 🤙
My weight dropped off like a stone on a fat-free diet. And I mean totally fat free. Also, my running speed and exercise endurance, including my VO2 MAX rapidly increased within a matter of 2 weeks, and kept improving. I'm lean a lean machine, now.
Dr. Barnard has obviously not read the studies showing that an increase in total cholesterol and an increase in LDL (which turns out to not be the "bad" cholesterol as he labeled it) actually show many improved markers in cardiovascular health. HIs information is sorely out of date. Blaming cholesterol for arteriosclerosis is like blaming the fireman for the house burning down. Cholesterol arrives in the arteries to heal damaged areas. The damage that comes from inflammation from an improper diet - a diet that includes very inflammatory foods like seed oils.
It is amazing how he alters the truth about cholesterol that has been proved in many studies in the last 10 years, to show an increase in total cholesterol and an increase in LDL cholesterol actually decreases the level of all cause mortality.
constitutes
Name a study that shows high cholesterol and LDL improves cardiovascular outcomes.
Good luck with that....heart disease, diabetes are waiting for you.....
Well, I'm a carnivore and I add pure cream to my coffee. My A1C is between 3.8 and 4.2 when I get it tested on the occasion it has been and I'm seventy-two years old.

Hi. Many people with diabetes switch to a keto diet of high fat and high protein. How do you reconcile that with the low fat plant based diet talked about here?
Easy...get off the sugar, the carbs, starchy vegetables and processed food, including bad fat= processed fat. Then you are safe.
Keto is not high protein.
If you do a high protein diet, the proteins ultimately get converted to sugars. Keto = high fat, low proteins, no carbs.
Carbs and sugars are the reason and that's why people are fat and have diabetes.
Precisely my friend.
Well I do not concur, I have lost 100 lbs by utilizing keto and then switching to carnivore. My A1C was over 8, and now it's 5.3. I quit carbs. BBCE, beef, bacon, cheese, and eggs. I feel great, and all my blood numbers are optimal! I did my own N=1, and personally, I don't listen to doctors anymore. Cheers.
Not being funny but have you been keeping g up with cholesterol those meets also clog arteries . Again no offense intended. Please check on that..peace n light. Oh and much congrats to your weight loss and sugar level. Woohhoo!💪🏾👍🏽✌🏽
@@naasiramuhammad2457 dietary cholesterol has minimal to no impact on cholesterol levels. Your body produces way more cholesterol every day than you can eat and regulates it's production based on dietary intake. Cholesterol only gets out of whack if something is interfering with the system usually chronic inflammation.
@@joebuslife9275everyone’s a cholesterol expert. How’s your expert knowledge on Apo B?
Then you came to a vegan presentation to achieve what exactly? Share your n of 1 anecdotes? You meaty gaslighters and Dr Berry zealots are hilarious. Thanks for sharing
And what happens to your blood sugar if you eat a banana? Because if it spikes through the roof, it means you're still insulin resistant. The keto/carnivore diet is just masking the symptoms of insulin resistance by removing carbs. True reversal of insulin resistance is being able to eat carbs while keeping blood glucose in range.
This was interesting, but it felt like traveling back in time to the 1990's. Old messaging that saturated fats are bad for you. Highly processed fats are of course bad for you, but natural fats from meats and eggs etc have been eaten by humans for thosands of years. I've wasted so much of my life eating a low fat diet and still being a bit overweight and I was hungry all the time. Now I eat 'real' food, eggs, cheese, meats, nuts, oats, salad, olive oil, butter, fullfat milk, coconut oil and I've never felt better. I lost 14 pounds in 3 months and I can literally eat until I'm full each meal and not put weight on. Not knocking a vegan diet, but carbs and sugars seem so obviously responsible for diabetes, not fat.
It might be that you are not up to date. "Seed oil kills you" is the new narrativ. And you cannot live a healthy live without fat. Simply look to these "carnivores". Never ever, I saw healthier and happier people like these.
He seems to be directly contradicting what people like Dr. Sten Ekberg and Dr. Jason Fung have to say about these things.
So now I'm confused. (again)
just follow Dr. Jason Fung. Totally eliminating animal products is not healthy
Dead animal products are a class 1 carcinogen for humans.
Stick with Dr Fung and Dr Berry
@snowwhite2709 That supports the consumption of disease causing dead animal products?
Listen to Dr. Barnard.
Hi I am from Sri Lanka. As brain cells are made of fat, will the no fat diet affect memory in the elderly. It has been shown in studies, that use of Statin to lower cholesterol causes memory loss. Would like to have your opinion/ solutions for this.
You have good fats in flax seeds, nut milk, veg and fruits. They are sufficient. Regarding statin drugs they are extremely dangerous. They affect your natural cholostral production in your body by inhibiting a chemical chain reaction in the body. This inhimits many healthy chemicals also like coq10 etc. which causes more damage to the body
It is not "no fat", there is fat in every whole food. Oats are 5-9% fat, chickpeas are 5% fat. You can also add a handful of nuts and seeds a day.
Only plants make Omega-3's fatty acids. For example, walnuts, plant algae, and ground flax seeds.
The human brain only feeds off of glucose, which comes from unprocessed whole plants and fungi.
I love to see you vegans k

Excellent, excellent presentation.. one of those occasions where Dr. Bernard present slides with data . He is a master at explaining medical research in very simple terms that the average person can relate to.

Those PCRM videos at the end are gold, thankyou for sharing all of your resources
Dr. Barnard mentioned a situation where your doctor mentions a plant based diet. I had to chuckle.
My cardiologist told my wife and I that a plant based diet is really the best! But then he went on to tell us to eat more chicken and fish than beef and some dairy too. Uggghhh.
At least since he said it, he’s heard it somewhere. That is a good sign!
By the way, I love Dr. Barnard! Genus do knowledgeable and explains things so clearly. Thank you fir all your hard work! 👏👍👊😎
Fish contains essential DHA and EPA omega 3, that otherwise you can only get through algae. Line seed oil has ALA, but your body hardly converts it into the other two omega 3s.
Take care of your vit A, D3, K2, zinc, iron, iodine, selenium that you probably won't get from veggies.
How could this Dr still say that cholesterol intake has any effect on circulating blood cholesterol😮. It doesn’t matter if you eat cholesterol or not humans make as much cholesterol as the body requires. Of course saturated fat may contribute to blood cholesterol- but cholesterol does not cause arteriosclerosis. Newer studies are showing that there are other metabolites causing arteriosclerosis and finger is pointing to sugar causing glycation of glycocalyx with resultant inflammation. In fact high blood cholesterol appears to be protective especially in the elderly.
Vegetarians/vegan may work for some but ketovore works magic for my 85 year old diabetic mother! And it works to put cancer in remission. Any food lifestyle that departs from the SAD diet will help but sustenance is the issue.
To each his own. My health - my life!!!
I grew up on a cattle ranch, have eaten meat all my life at 71 years, my Coronary Calcium test came back at .0001%. Plant based does not give enough protein or B vitamins, which requires supplements. Diabetes is genetic in my family, I tested for pre-diabetes 7 years ago, high blood pressure, weight gain. I removed sugar, complex carbs, seed oils and grains, dropped my A1C to normal range, lowered blood pressure and lost 40 pounds. Food is individual based, plant based is not for everyone nor is the carnivore diet.
Could you please link the studies that have shown intramyocellular fat accumulation in muscle cells causes insulin resistance and the mode of action. Thanks
Google it.
I'm no.1 wfpb vegan diet and lost 20 lbs in 2 months 😳👍🎃
Hope you don't do it to your kid.
What Dr Barnard describes is over eating. If the cells are replete with energy, you should not feel hungry. Not understanding the concept any other way. Enough nutrients and fuel =full. Not enough nutrients and fuel=hungry.
I'm a vegetarian but I don't like beans. Part of the reason I eat eggs and dairy is because I'm not getting any protein from meat or beans. What can I do to offset that within the confines of a vegan diet?
I would love to hear feedback as I have the same issues.
Quinoa, seitan, spelt, amaranth, nuts & seeds, I'm not vegetarian but these are high protein foods that are not beans. My daughter won't eat beans either so I've looked into this before. I hope you find protein rich foods that you like that also satisfy your dietary requirements.
Nuts seeds tofu tempeh quinoa. Chia. Oats. Brown rice spelt. What about lentils? Is the the texture or taste of beans?
There are so many types of beans - and ways of cooking them. I used to hate beans, and all kinds of similar veg (sweetcorn, peas) but now I’m okay with any bean. But I definitely prefer them to be overcooked and mushed up. Or in a bean roast.
I prefer chickpeas, mung and lentils though. So, is that pulses rather than legumes?
@@AtheistEvei actually love beans and lentils but they really aggravate my IBS!
Animal fat free is not a requirement for weight loss or good health. Cholesterol and animal fat are not the enemy. How do you think our species developed? They ate animals and fruits in season. Fat does not cause insulin resistance. I'd like to see Barnard debate Westman, Bikman, Berry, Diamond, Ekberg, Mason and other low carb advocates that cite real studies.
Look at Dr Nagra's channel, he has debates about saturated fat with keto and carnivore debates. The research is clear: saturated fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
You don’t like hearing bad news about your bad habits
thank you very much for the info. i have a question please, is olive oil a good choice or shall it be totally avoided, thanks again.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, no processed, heated, filtered oil. That goes for others oils as well.
I'm confused. Dr Barnard calls saturated fat "bad fat", but when I eat fiber, my gut bacteria produce short chained fatty acids like butyurate, which are saturated. Does that mean that eating fiber also is "bad"? And how come that the liver produces 1500 milligrams of cholesterol per day even if I don't eat anything? I think we need better science, don't you agree?
short chain fatty acids are produced in the large intestine where they are the main energy source for the cells that line the large intestine; saturated fat comes in through the food you eat and is absorbed by your small intestine and deposited all over your body including your arteries. scfa is essential for good colon health; saturated fat is not. bottom line: scfa is not fat.
So you know absolutely nothing about science? Ok. Got it.@@monikakress3867
Enough information available from proper research that saturated fat is not bad for e.g. heart health.
Note that you need fish or algae based supplements containing essential DHA and EPA omega 3. Line seed oil has ALA, but your body hardly converts it into the other two omega 3s.
Take care of your vit A, D3, K2, zinc, iron, iodine, selenium that you probably won't get from veggies.
There's nothing wrong with saturated fat, that's the very stuff we're made of. We have a brain that is 60% fat and 20% cholesterol and if you listen to him, you'll end up senile. Don't starve your brain.
I won't. I eat steak and butter every day. I was just questioning "not doctor" Barnards' logic and total lack of scientific underpinning to his claims. Ok?@@toni4729

@@Hikari7775 YOUR BUBBLE BURST A VERY LONG TIME AGO.
We don't need sugar at all.
We require 4mg. glucose at any one time in our blood which goes all over our system including our brain.
There are millions of people in this world that have never tasted sugar or glucose, so don't try to tell me we need it. Our body will make that little amount we need from the fat we carry. The glucose we need is only a teaspoonful, no more.
Now if you can tell me how people that have never had sugar are still alive, while you say we need it to live. Perhaps you'll explain that. In the meantime, you can also explain how you can sweat salt out of your skin. Any animal will look for salt to consume not solium. There you're just being picky. Try living without salt.
I consume sea-salt daily but never consume sugar of any form. I don't think I'm brain dead yet and I'm seventy-two.
One more thing: Our brain is made of 60% fat and 20% cholesterol. Every cell in our body requires both and vegans are starving of both. Our sex hormones are mostly cholesterol. Good luck.
You are telling me to eat a diet that requires B12 supplementation that did not exist prior to 1950s. This diet cannot be healthy for our grand fathers, they didn't had B12, so you are saying that it is somehow healthy for humans? How about those humans, the generation of humans before B12 was made in the factory, do they get unhealthy on your diet? What makes you arrogant enough to say a manmade product can trump million's of years of evolution. Have a look at Games of Thrones, do you see any plants they eat. It it outright dangerous for Dr. Bernard to promote his Seven's Day Adventist agenda. Check out Dr. Chaffee, who does not get paid by big phama, religion and agriculture.
Dr Barnard... "a healthy diet is a plant based diet"
Also Dr Barnard... "everyone on a plant based diet needs to be taking B12 daily for the rest of their lives"
This is obviously not the natural or optimal diet for humans.
Eskimos lived on high fat and protein. No carbs or sugar. They had no heart disease diabetes or cancer.
Nope. Not until processed foods were introduced and shipped up to them. But, I've heard people describe them as 'rare genetic outliers', or something similar. They are still homosapien sapiens. Like all of us. It''s not whether you eat meat, or vegetables or dairy (unless you have specific tolerance or allergy/condition), it's all the damn processed food and overeating/undermoving. That's really the most of it. And why are the processed foods so bad? Because they are full of modern-created chemicals, additives/preservatives, hydrogenated seed oils, and various forms of sugar and wheat gluten and MSGs. If you justs avoid those, eat whatever you want and you'll be much healthier. It is better to minimize or avoid grain items though (unless you are buying real ancient grains) because most of the stuff in america now is made with dwarf wheat and it's really not good for you (it's what most of our flour is made of, so almost all of our breads, pastas, pastries, cereals, etc are dwarf wheat).
Yeah because when you eat a . cheeseburger you have to drink sodas or else it doesn’t taste good .
This is a very interesting power point lecture so well illustrated and explained - it should be able to motivate all to make the transition - 🙏🌷❤️

Is he blaming cholesterol? There is a study that shows that centenaries have hugh cholesterol.
He is blaming an excess of fat, which in the West is caused by an excess of sugar.
Which study?
Centennarians with higher cholesterol is NOT CAUSAL. Only very few individuals reach 100.
@@DavidJJJ Dietary fat causes body fat. It is harder for your body to convert sugar to body fat. Ultimately excess calories --> weight gain
@@bobthaler8828you are close. The body cannot deposit fat in the absence of insulin. Insulin is the signal, or key, that the body uses to deposit fat. High insulin is caused by excess carbohydrates, not fat. Fat burning mode is turned on in your body when you have low insulin. The reason for this is that low insulin means no carbohydrates, which means no glucose, so your Citric acid pathway turns to fat instead of glucose.
Before I started injections for a B12 deficiency my A1C was 2 after injections my AIC is 5.2 very frustrating. No change in diet. B12 is supposed to imorove insulin sensitivity. It is so frustrating. B12 deficiency apparently can be instrumental is causing diabetes. Well for it semms to heading in the opposite direction. It's not the food for me, I eat well.
I do not have to write this down because I can save the video to watch again later.
Outstanding Dr Barnard thank you for putting this together! Forks Over Knives for real! 😊
Will you stop praising him and being vegan when you lose your eyebrows? 🥳🤪🤣🤔
There is a war going on between the plant-based and meat-fat based, but there is some common ground here: make your own food, don't go to extremes on those things that taste really good (fats, high glycemic foods), and know that different people have different biological needs, so please don't turn your preferred diet into a moral campaign to push on others. I was a vegetarian for 9 years and I developed a lot of serious digestion problems. I lost way too much weight and had to stop. My vegetarian friends abandoned me as my problems challenged their world view. Now I am having medical problems with the opposite food philosophy. Clearly the correct path is somewhere between some of these extreme diets. Know your body as a unique creature and find something other that food for rallying together a social life.
IT IS A MORAL ISSUE: WHOLE foods...legumes, veg., fruits, whole grains, greens and you will be slim and healthy...it's that simple. Carbs are NOT the enemy, animal products are. 68, no meds, no illness, slim.....for 20 years now.
For your health, the animals, the planet...win/win!!
Keto works for me. I'm still losing weight after a lifetime of low fat high carb foolishness. Special K, with skim milk, dry toast, and orange juice ruined my body.
That's very different from what Dr Barnard is recommending. You ate low nutrient empty calorie junk and you blame the low fat content. That's not the right way to do a low fat diet. You need to eat whole foods.
@@Hikari7775 Yes, and that is what was (and still is) recommended by the FDA , WHO, nutritionists, and dieticians.
@@ronaldlenz5745 Pretty sure nobody is recommending a diet full of low fat junk. The nutrition organizations all over the world are recommending eating more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, because studies have consistently found these foods are beneficial for health. Not low fat empty carbs.
@@Hikari7775don't be so sure about it. I did eat quite a junk food (but not the moderns junk food which is a total crap) for some 40 years - during school, later during medical scool and while working in emerency medicine. The reason for that was - I mostly had no time enough to have a good slow cooked meals and I lived in Soviet Union, where good healthy products were privilege to high ranking functionals... My food during service in army was disaster. And nevertheless I was very lean, full of energy and had no problems to work night shifts and carry stretchers with patient when needed. O.K. You can say, it's because I was young... I continued eating crap afterwards, because I continued studying medicine, while working night shifts and mostly was short in time to swallow even that crap I continued to eat. It was all wrong - worst food, very intense mind blowing studies and totally ruined circadian rhythms. Still - healthy and fit, except for a spinal injury from lifting stretchers with an owerveight person and carrying him down very steep stairs. Everything was still fine until I decided to try being vegetarian. It was because of my daughter, who went vegetarian and I decided to support her choice being vegetarian as well. I was avoiding meat of all sorts and fish was never my favorite, neither it was available in abundance in our shops. After year or so I started feeling some small ailments and got a feeling that something is not perfect with my body as was before. I returned to meat, but it didn't improve anything. I started to pay more attention to the quality of my food. At that time I had no more night shifts, the income was good, the food was in abundance (the Soviet time was long gone), but insted of improving, I started to gain weight and my cholesterol and blood sugar started to raise. I stopped any added sugar, any animal fat, didn't eat any butter. Instead I preferred fruits, berries, olive oil and, cottage cheese, skim milk and other "healthy" dairy products. Nothing good came out of eating "healthy". I got sludge in gall bladder and irritable bowel and went to our prominent gastroenterologists. They recommended me to take "good bacteria" and pancreatic enzymes. I took these and everything went worse. Probably, because the "good bacterias" gave me SIBO...Then I decided stop listening to prominent doctors and start listening my body + started searching internet on different opinion, not tought me during my studies of medicine. In the result of that I came to information on carnivore and keto. I started low carbohydrate diet, closer to carnivore than keto. No sugar, no bread, no milk or dairy at all. So far I lost those few kilograms which were around my waist and got back a normal bowel function. This might be anecdotal story, but my life on crap food was way better than when I did healthy diet and being vegetarian was total disaster to me. 😂
@@Hikari7775 Dr. Barnard has a brain still, but I don't know what it's made from. They're usually made from 60% fat and 20% cholesterol. He's starving his. There's not a lot of education on vegan aged, because it hasn't been going long but I'll guarantee, senility.
I liked the video & believe 90% of it but I think listing all beef in with fast food is a far stretch here! Beef sales are down (40%) from past years yet heart disease grows on pace with the fast food industry. 🤔 My dad just missed being 97. He was a beef eater even late nights & grazed all day. If hungry he ate. Eggs & bacon in the AM, 3 ham sandwiches for lunch at work was the go to meal. He had all quality foods. He ate foods from his garden for 1/3 the year too & that was it for plants but it was high quantity for 4 months with beef. In the supermarkets the rest of the year he pouted on the quality. 😢 He also exercised all in just his yard & in the garden. He never had a weed. He walk to the post office, gas for mower & to his MD even in his 90's all within a mile going one-way. He also slept for 8 hours a day & on schedule. I think all of us react differently, need moderation with quality & you need to find what works for you. You need to enjoy life & the foods you eat. Good luck with your health. ❤
But how do we find out what works best for our individual lifestyle and what's the best food intake
@@solomonsalsberg5961 It takes homework. 🙆♂️ I know! Turn it into a game. Don't believe just one video watch more from different MD's with an emphasis on nutrition. Youll know whos good quick enough. I started wanting to know more on vitamins & minerals just looking at cal's is not enough as just in the early 2000's they said you can eat anything just stay at 2,000 cal's & that was wrong. If your doing 10k to 15k of steps per day or are inactive doing 1500k to 3k too. You need to fing a balance with a small deficit with you activity. I do just -250 daily cals. Your activities change how much cal intake you need. Take it slow exercise helps send oxygen to your cells & brain. I read only 15% benifit for nutrition which I agree with baded on my #'s I've tracked for 9 yrs now. It's much more complicated than all these diets say. After my dad & pup past & CV started. I gained wight. I now removed it & more. My new goal is going for my high school wait about April 2025 slowly & to keep it off. I started by reducing sugar & carb's to start & increase my fiber #'s when shopping on each item, improve by just a gram at a time & take it slow 🐌 ! Is a good way to start & make sure you still like the taste. I tried all creamers for coffee & they all failed FOR ME so back to milk. They mentioned cheese 🧀 in this video. You don't have to cut it all out but just use less like 1/2 on a sandwich including the bread cut in triangles & load up on the other healthy items & use only 20% on your pizza & add heathy topping like 4oz of mushrooms. You still taste the cheese & don't miss the excess cal's at all. I cut 17 days of cals a yr on just the pizza cheese this yr vs buying from my pizza place. Make your own 🍕 too so you know what's in it. If you don't want to make the crust buy a wheat based one with fiber thats refrigerated like Woodgrilled by the pizza gourmet. I hope some of this helps you 💜 & good luck 🍀 on your journey. 🛣 One more note watch out for grinder breads they have more sugar than you think. Remember nutrition labels can be off by 25% too.

How did the people who are already nutritionally compromised with blood mutations like MTHFR do who are generally B12 deficient? We are all different. There is no one of a kind human diet. I like a low carb rule of thirds. 1/3 Protein from animals, 1/3 fats 1/3 carbohydrates and this diet will not be sufficient for Celiacs and those that are gluten intolerant as all grains contain different types of gluten.Rice contains Orzenin and Corn contains Zein. This would never work for me at all.
Health care costs are out of control. Going WFPB vegan can save money, pain and suffering from disease.
Lower your chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer by going vegan. Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices.
I've been plant-based for 4 yrs - but slowly added in vegan "meats", and then real cheese. Looks like I'm jumping off the cheese wagon again. GREAT information! Thank you!

I been doing carnivore 4 months and i dont worry about checking anything you don't need to.
So?
@l21n18 carnivore has been helping reverse type 2 diabetes and the meat has all you need in it so you don't need vegetables are any carbs just meat
Im frustrated with the confusion on what my lifestyle is compaired to how the body works with quality breads rye pumpernickel sprouted ..
Am frustrated with dr gregger too and all the info coming out that 8s not mainstream yet. It takes 5 yrs from discovery to make it to main stream ..
I went from an A1C of 8 to 5.1 I put coconut oil in my morning, coffee, and extra-virgin olive oil in my large salad. I eat modest protein, mostly plant base my exercise, mostly Walking😊
Coconut oil is mostly saturated fat
@@iss8504 I have PPMS I use coconut products, mainly for the brain benefits. my blood pressure is good. Will check cholesterol soon.
@@iss8504I eat a dry coconut every day, I am so addicted to this nut, my health is great, no meds of any kind other than a b12. In my 78 th year 2 months away I am in good health. I take Dr's with a great of salt.
As a t 2 diabetic I say sugar is the cause that I have T2. Dr's were not taught about nutrition, now all of a sudden they are experts. I say do not pig out food and you will be OK. As for T1 I say the milk powder that mothers fed their babies is the caused. This milk is so sweet it's no wonder to exist
As an answer to this video something about sugar and cholesterol: Blood biomarker profiles and exceptional longevity: comparison of centenarians and non-centenarians in a 35-year follow-up of the Swedish AMORIS cohort.
Thanks for telling the truth guys everything humans need to thrive comes from the earth and from plants and bacteria period
My numbers dropped to a A1C to 6.5...amazing..
My A1C is 4.2 and I'm a carnivore. There's no sugar in meat and fish.
Thank you for adding that statistic because I forget 90% at least probably I mean not everything but I was getting worried thank you now back to the show
But this vegetables are contaminated with chemicals,how we can be on vegetables diet.
Do we know details about veg defenses that give the eater a drop of some type of lectin or something that has to do with joint pains. I stopped night shades but foot still hurt where toes meet foot, cut down on flour products, but built up over 2 yrs of veg eating to 2 cups a meal and cut back to almost 25% veg to 75% meat..
My feet feel much better.
I want to use meat product in 1 to 2 oz portions as flavor and make my veg taste great.
It seems i dont over heat my good oils and use quality butter but is this sat fat issue just pertaining to over processed oils. Or am i headed for a heart attack. I am medium well at keeping moving all day due to job and a bike as transportation im 56 and beyond chef accomplishments and schooling and i just want to eat Right!! I would look foward to my veg mixtures and now im fearful of eating to much and was considering carnivore for a month after a fast and introduce veg back slowly to see what the heck happened with my feet..
I asked my doctor and they said they know nothing about it.. 😮
How do you do plant based with celiac?
Beans.
Because I don't need the calories, my wheat intake amounts to 30g per day ( breakfast) and I could probably learn to eliminate even that if I needed to.
When I read the comments from people for and against the low-fat vegan diet I can see a very clear pattern, although they all think they are right and have done badly with one or another diet. What they all have in common is weight loss. If you lose weight, everything gets better and if you are overweight you must be doing something wrong even if you think it is the diet's fault.
I'm confused, you say here 00:11, that Diabetes is not caused by sugar. However your guest contradicts that here 30:39 in saying that excess fat of any type (including the type deposited by an excess of sugar) will cause Diabetes. So Dr. Neal Barnard admits that in theory an excess of sugar, which is converted to fat would cause Diabetes, yet you contradict him in essentially saying that if you eat too much sugar, you won't get Diabetes.
26:24 "chiken breast without skin is 23% fat". This is blatantly false. A quick search will show you that chicken breast contains 3% in weight of fat. 20% is the amount of calories due to that fat. But who cares, right, what counts is to push forward the vegan agenda.
PS for those who still eat as we did in the last three million years: don't take the skin away: it's plenty of the correct aminoacids that are essential for skin, muscle and tendons growth and repair.
"Study: Eating 3+ Servings of White Rice Daily Linked to 45% Higher Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Asians."
Researchers wanted to find out if eating a lot of white rice can increase the risk of getting type 2 diabetes in Asian people. They looked at the results of 7 different studies that followed a total of 352,384 people over time. These studies kept track of how much white rice the people ate and how many of them developed type 2 diabetes. When the researchers combined the data from all the studies, they found that people who ate the most white rice (3 or more servings per day) had a 45% higher chance of getting type 2 diabetes compared to those who ate the least amount of white rice. Hu, E. A., Pan, A., Malik, V., & Sun, Q. (2012). White rice consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes: meta-analysis and systematic review. BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 344, e1454.
fructose addiction is real.
Cld u pl suggest a diet which is the best for controlling Type 2 diabeted
Intermittent fasting (which is not a diet). See Jason Fung for that, or even Eric Berg
Keto and Intermittent fasting
Just stop eating processed food and you will be fine, its †hat simple.
Thanks
It is non sequitur to assume that giving a cohort of SAD diet Americans a vegetarian diet, watching their health improve, and then to say it was the vegetarian diet that solved the problem. The control was against the original diet and all the constituents of that SAD diet, not other equal or better (non-WFPB) diets. So the conclusion here is at best hypothesis generating, not causal that a vegan/vegetarian diet is optimal for reversing T2D. Cholesterol does not "irritate" capillaries. Much of this discussion is medical sleight of hand.
Thanks very much.
Does intramyocellular lipid content increase as easily eating nuts, seeds, olives, and avocados as it does when eating animal fat or pure plant oils? And does the total amount of fiber in the diet moderate or eliminate the effect?
What about tofu, it is rich in protein
How do you explain the fantastic advantages of a carnivore diet?
We don't have four stomachs, hooves and horns.
Our digestive system is very similar to that of a lion, or a wolf and they don't get fat or suffer miserable weight problems. A lion rarely does more than sleep between meals, is relaxed and comfortable.
Could you turn the volume down some? I almost heard what he was saying
The way I see it there are at least 2 180 degree opposing ideas, and both show great success in many cases. Maybe science should accept that there is not one truth but many. We all are different, depending on genes, hormones, activity level and kind. Maybe the 'best' diet depends on the individual. I had great success doing the opposite of what is told here. 16/8 fasting with high animal fat and protein, some vegetables and less than 100g sugar/starchy food per day and 6-10hrs exercise per week. Cycling, uphill walking and weights. Lost 10% bodyweight in 2 month. and ride faster at age 61 than 27 years ago when I was sporty too and no couch potatoe either.
Sidenote: Every calorie eaten from veggies that cannot be stored or burned immediately (carb stores are limited) is converted to fat and stored. Nobody tells me that this is better than eating fat directly. If eating carbs were better than eating fat evolution would have led us to store carbs directly instead of converting them to fat for storage. I consider low fat diet as total nonsense.
I would love to try this vegan approach, but I would definitely miss butter, and cream in my coffee.
Lactation breast milk from a mother cow turned cheese and cream products are loaded with estrogen.
The consumption of animal products leads to estrogen driven cancers such as breast, prostate, and endometrial cancers.
We seldom realize the immense cruelty in consuming lactation products such as dairy. All female mother cows and goats are slaughtered when they are no longer able to get pregnant and lactate for their baby.

Wrong
Sugar causes cancer. Cancer loves sugar. Fatty liver comes from sugar not meat.
It's not worth the problem. They call fat a sin but that's what our brain is made from, don't starve it. We also have 20% cholesterol in our brain, and most of our sex hormones are made from it too.
There are excellent plant-based alternatives. Miyoko's makes an excellent oat-based butter. There are many creamers available made from coconut, oat, and soy. Give it a try! I'm on year 11. Also to consider... watch undercover dairy videos. It's appalling to see how dairy is produced.
@@toni4729 The human brain only feeds off of glucose.
Can the doctors or PHD tell me if high cholesterol is because of insulin resistance ? I have a sad story to tell you about an Indian gentleman that had high cholesterol. He was a vegetarian most or as long as I knew him. He had high cholesterol before he died. He certainly kept away from any meat or cheese. That didn't allow him to live a healthy life though.. I think doctors there is evidence that vegetarianism cuts down cholesterol but if you are high in cholesterol your liver just makes up the balance even if you just chew grass like a cow...
The FDA obviously cannot pick subjects from India, some of whom are all vegetarian through out their lives. These people are alive but not necessarily free from arteriosclerosis as we say in the West. Obviously 😅 there must be studies done to see why some still have high cholesterol even with a 100% vegetarian diet..😢 You obviously do not know what or why patients suffer from high cholesterol or high glucose is because of insulin resistance..🤔 Oh well, Dr Ben Bikman is who I should ask.
That doesn't mean he ate a low saturated fat diet. The Indian diet is full of ghee, which is very high in saturated fat.
@Hikari7775 Are you saying his occasional intake of ghee or heated butter was so much, that it resulted in his High cholesterol.. I have to disagree about massive intake of ghee or saturated fats..especially as the Doctor was all about how vegetarian diet has minimal cholesterol or saturated fats to the point of most vegetarian dieters losing at least 10% of their weight per year.. Using something like butter to defeat the whole hypothesis of going vegetarian means you are definitely not a vegetarian..I think there are carnivores that have lower cholesterol than myself or this Indian gentleman..
@@shaunkong62 How do you know he didn't eat much saturated fat or that his ghee intake was "occasional"? A vegetarian diet isn't necessarily healthy. I'm vegan myself and same thing, a vegan diet isn't necessarily healthy, you could be vegan and eat french fries and oreos all day. Plus, some people have genetically high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia). And I don't know where you got that number that vegetarians lose 10% of their weight per year lol
@Hikari7775 Look I am NOT promoting any diet especially vegetarian diets. The guy who died eventually was a deeply religious man who didn't excess anything. He was not allowed to take salt because that causes HBP. He didn't have fun in his old age, imagine your DOCTOR told you to cut the flavourful stuff and don't eat fat..I know because generation of poorly trained doctors were told to say the same things over and over. This was in Singapore, a place that is supposedly full of western trained doctors..The fat that he ate a Singaporean type of Indian diet means he didn't eat much sweets either. The Indian who comes from the south of India know all about vegetarian diets..They live their lives and then emigrated to Singapore. Of course we know what is a parata or some vegetarian curry gravy looks like. I am impressed with the 7 day Adventists vegetarian in the US. They eat whatever they want and generally live long. It was even recorded in a documentary..You know we including this Indian gentleman grew up in the 80's and at that time the FDA was very clear, no fats in your diet or you will die of a heart attack. There weren't even doctors who approved of the vegetarian diets.
Can nuts and seeds hinder sugar from going into the cell since they contain fat?
No. Insulin controls your sugar levels and directs it where to go. Excess sugar is converted to fat for storage, since the blood can only have a small amount of glucose in it at any given time. The problem is NOT fat, it is too much sugar, via sugar, or carbs. I saw many a diabetic patient in my day as a healthcare provider. And the sickest ones were always the ones eating these high carb, lowfat diets (including my own father, as my parents fell for this rhetoric. He's dead now, they both are.) Don't overeat anything, keep all things in moderation.
@@chrisinreallife2022 ultimately the problem is too much FOOD ( obesity).
@@yangtse55 At the end of the day, yep. Lol. We eat too much, and too often. And since it's especially mostly processed crap, it's even worse.
Man, i'm 8 minutes into the video and still no meaningful content.
You are right... Boring
