Summary 1. Intermittent fasting, 12 hours a day, 7pm-7am 2. Oats have fiber and anti-inflammatory substances, eat with pinch salt, fresh fruit and little plant based milk 3. Egg are good for your heart, lowers cholesterol, boil them, try with low sodium soy sauce 4. Bacon, tasty but not good for you because salt and saturated fat (old outdated info) burning bacon creates cancer causing chemicals, cook lightly in olive oil 5. Dairy is good has calcium and protein, eat low fat milk to avoid saturated fat (outdated info), has natural trans fat, pasture raised cows have omega 3s, has lactose milk sugar, helps build strong bones, estrogen weakens bones (wrong-estrogen strengthens bones). 6. Black coffee good for you but don't have with cream because locks good substances, drink coffee with plant based milk. 7. Grass-fed cheese has omega 3 FA, eating 200grams a day is good for you. 8. Yogurt is good because it has good gut bacteria, reduces all cause death, low fat yogurt has thickeners that are not good for you, eat whole plain Greek yogurt with nuts, dried fruit, seeds fresh fruit, honey. Buckwheat honey is good for you b/c has antioxidants.
One thing I do not agreed with him and you, no need to add more oil, just fry medium heat. Avoid bacon with nitrate and sugar. Costco has a good one, all in moderation
With the bacon, need to read label, can be found low in nitrate and sugar; fry at medium heat so it won burn and of curse eat in moderation, not every day, maybe once or twice a month. Sugar feed cancers cell, avoid sugar completely
Took much of what Dr. Li teaches about “food as medicine” to heart after being diagnosed with lymphoma. I’ve boiled much of what he preaches down to a few simple guidelines. The number one being, steer clear of processed foods! You truly are what you eat.
Do some research on mushrooms and capsacin. Lyphoma runs in my family, those two things and whole foods, no chemicals and 14 hours of fasting will help you within a week. p.s. Don't forget your 2,500 mg of Vitamin C daily.
There are rare individuals who have a very special knack of talking to ppl in an exceptionally clear manner, with medical jargon broken down into easy to understand language for everyone. Dr Li is DEFINITELY one of these talented individuals. Thank you Dr Li! Sending our best sir, to you & yours!
I learn a great deal from Dr. Li and respect his scientific expertise a great deal. I would, however, appreciate it if he would speak about allergens to various foods he recommends, such as milk and wheat and eggs. I cannot eat any of these so concerned that I'm missing essential nutrients. What should one take to support the body that cannot handle these three food groups? Thanks in advance for your direction.
I'm the new guy. I have 5 years whole foods. 1st time here and I Love this dude. Mark Hyman got me started. 4 years clean and sober. and I'm more proud of eating clean. Then again I could not sober up until I got the nutrition down. Life is good.
Congrats! Yes alcoholism depletes is of so many nutrients and since I've gotten sober I have done every I can to eat the healthiest food and beverages, Dr. Li is so easy to understand and I'm turning back into the "Health Food Nut" I was before alcohol caused me to not care.
Dr Li you are by far the best doctor and teacher, explaining very simple terms, I'm a retired nurse, and everything you said is so true and easy to understand thank you
Dr. Li, I really believe passing your expertise and knowledge in food to the society will greatly contribute to making our nation healthy. I really appreciate your efforts doing this. It will eventually bring down the medical insurance when the nation healthier! Keep up on your efforts! Thank you thank you!
Thank you doctor Li, I've learnt a lot from your teachings.I thought tea and especialy coffee are bad for health but youve taught me otherwise.I' ve started dring black coffee daily.Indeed knowledge is power! 7:17 7:17
You’re correct.. I see people at the store buying. I can’t believe it’s not butter or whatever that stuff is and I just want to scream stop don’t do it. But you have to come to your journey to truth
Completely agree. I am guessing Dr. Li isn’t impressed by carnivore diets. Neither am I, but I have studied the scientifically supported benefits and am surprised the good doc here remains close minded.
I'm 75 and now in excellent health, compared to where I was 5 years ago. I eat 2 meals a day: one at 11:30am - 4 eggs and anywhere from 5 to 8 pieces of bacon or 4 Merguez sausages. My second meal is a 12-16oz ribeye steak at 6pm. Before I started eating this way I weight 254 pounds, my blood pressure was 170/140, and I was prediabetic. Today, I weigh 170, my blood pressure is 120/68, and I'm no longer prediabetic. I'll continue this regime because it obviously works for me.
@@Finnegas-Eces I never eat veggies. I eat just meat, eggs, and butter. I will occasionally eat blueberries and an avocado, but never more than once a week.
You're just eating protein. It's a very common diet. Since you have no SUGAR intake, that alone will cause weight loss and other health benefits. There are many healthy plants you can eat that will not interfere with what you're doing. You need them for your cells, organs, digestive system and especially your colon to prevent cancer.
I'm glad to hear this. When i was a child, my grandmother used to make oatmeal snd honey and put it on a cut that wouldn't heal, then cover it with a bandaid. My mom was a nurse and always had a fit when she did this. Mammy was born in 1891and only went to school thru 8th grade. Up the mountains there were few doctors if any. I was born in 1956 with club feet. Mammy came down to the valley to tend me and my siblings while my parents worked. Mammy also tended to my grandfather who lived to be 90. Ft. Hey did well for their age bracket. Lots of oatmeal - real oatmeal, like i cook today.
Hi! My grandmother was born in 1893 and lived with us. I born in 1957. We drank our milk straight from the cow...made butter from cream on top. Fresh eggs not pasteurized. Squirrels, rabbits wild. Fresh veggies from garden and wild blueberries n blackberries. Oatmeal was a staple. Very little sugar treats. No sodas. We raised black angus, grass fed. Life was GOOD back then. Sounds like you lived good life too.❤
Dr. Li, thank you for your informative and helpful videos. I love the way you explain things, so that everyone understands. You are very thorough and detailed. It has been teaching me a lot. Doctors nowadays don't take the time, but thank God we have you! God bless you!
Thank you Dr Li, I always watch your video’s and never stop learning! This one was the best! I am a former flight attendant and have left the industry with a “leaky gut” - I know that emulsifiers have a lot to do with it! Now I eat as healthy as I possibly can and never stop educating myself!

Been following health and fitness youtubers for over a year now.. But this video truly stands out. Very clear and nuanced recommendations backed up with facts and history. I eat 20 eggs per week btw. All pasture raised of course.
I eat greek yogurt like that as last meal of the day when I come from work after 9PM (I have only mealbreak at 3PM and thats too early for last meal and as I am a chef I cant eat during rush hour). Pure greek yogurt with chia seeds, hemp, crushed linseeds, minced nut mix, acacia fibers, some fruits like blue berries, banana, fresh strawberries and a dash of whole milk or cream and a drizzle of raw honey. Keeps my digestion healthy while I sleep. I no longer buy flavored yogurts, making it yourself is soooo much better! Just dont put pineapple in it, it goes very bad with dairy, thats why you rarely see pineapple flavored dairy. I have that with breakfast or lunch instead :)
You have zero nutritional awareness. So you load your body with toxic levels of omega 6 before the time when you should sleep and allow your body to repair. Your thinking is decades old big food propoganda.
@@yenski2012 I have it from Now! Which is I think pretty easy available worldwide. Its in a big container and you most likely find it at the bottom shelve. In my supermarket they both have it at the supplement section and at the healthy food and organic section. They may also sell it in a bag to refill but not sure if its the acacia or physillum husk, I use both but acacia is way better.
I am 78. In excellent health. Just retired. My breakfast: black coffee; a piece of homemade bread in which I melt dark chocolate... and one tsp of jam. It's delicious. I eat Mediterranean food, because... I am Mediterranean... I never drink milk. I put some in my coffee..sometimes. My bones are great.🙂
great advice on oats . I turned into pre-diabetic recently . I stopped all grains. Once I bring my A1C below 5.5 I will start steel cut oats. That is a great idea to cook night before breakfast.
All my family and myself were fed porridge from being a small child and we all still love it today. Just don't go overboard and spoil it with too much of anything. It really does keep your body healthy by feeding the natural good bacteria in your stomach. Everything in moderation and slowly reduce the refined sugar over time. Fast for 24 hrs once a week. 🙏🙏🙏
@@Elaine-w2sNothing special but definitely chuck the microwave!! I just use a gas hob and add milk. I pour extra cold milk over and let it cool but my grandaughter likes a blob of maple syrup and my daughter likes it just like me. Some people like to use half water and even add a sprinkle of salt although I can't say I've tried it. My mum is 88 and still has it for breakfast almost every day! 🙏 PS We all have great skin!
I mix organic raisins,, cinnamon, sprouted pumpkin seeds, and organic steel cut oats in a glass container. Pour over boiling water, cover and allow to return to room temperature. Stir, keep in fridge and eat cold for days. If it ferments a bit, so much the better. Yum.
I'm on track with most of what you said. I've recently changed the cheese I eat too hard cheese. Like sharp cheddar. I was never a fan of milk my whole life. I stopped drinking it when I was able to make my own choices and not what I was served. Lol I eat bacon once in a while. And I bake it. Next time I do that, I'll add olive oil. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
Thank you Dr. Li for taking the time to educate us about using food to prevent cetain illnesses and also to heal. I am a new subscriber who saw you on the Rachel Ray Show and was so inpressed by what you showed and told us on her show that when I found you online I was immmediately in. This video is so on point and You cleared up a lot of concepts about breakfast foods to eat and preparation. I have already changed my eating habits and food choices to 30% meat no beef and 70% plant based thanks to you and I am seeing and feeling a difference in my health and energy levels. I also discovered that there are lots of variety and choices of foods which I thought previously was limited. Thank you sooo very much for sharing.
We bring the steel cut oats to a boil, put a tight lid on and leave it overnight. It cooks beautifully and needs just a quick stir with boiling water to be ready to serve. I like a date or two chopped up as a sweetener.
I knew it! Oatmeal is good for you and your gut. This doctor is probably the ablest speaker to explain in detail what are the benefits of oatmeal. What a pleasure to listen to his calm lecture.
If you're a man, however, his advice to eat soy products is not good. Taking on any extra estrogen for men is not advisable. A quick look at modern society raises some concerning questions on what we are doing to ourselves.
I listen to a lot of health talk, but when people damn oatmeal I don't listen, I have tried to switch to sprouted and organic though. I don't listen because my body tells me so.
If in the first place your gut is healthy. Unbeknownst to me I had gut issues. Eating oatmeal made me so ill. Since healing my gut, I can now eat and enjoy it.
My ma has ate breakfast of eggs, bacon & sausage homemade buttermilk biscuits with grits DAILY….she is in her 90’s. She is still going strong! The only time she was in the hospital was when I was born. However she has Never smoked & has Never even tasted an alcoholic beverage! ❤
I here these anecdotal stories once and a while. They are actually rare as most of the people who eat this way are dead. I would wager, you Ma didn't eat that when she was young, as most people could not afford to eat that way. That gave her a healthier start. There is also people who's genetics are stronger for longevity.. I am going to tell you that Dr, Li is wrong about eggs. Legally in the USA the egg industry cannot even call eggs healthy in any of their AD's as they are NOT.. Eggs feed TMAO, Choline leads to prostate cancer, which is medical proven. Bacon and sausage are class 1 carcinogens, meaning the do cause cancer. Your life..
@@randall1715Eggs are extremely healthy. I eat 2 to 3 every morning for breakfast, along with 2 slices of bacon and 1 pork sausage. I have done this for years. However, I only eat organic, pastured eggs, and bacon with no antibiotics, no added growth stimulants, no nitrates or nitrites added, no sugar, minimally processed and no artificial ingredients. Also, always vegetable fed. I go to a functual medicine Dr. and do blood work (Spectralcell and other blood work every 6 months). I don’t agree with the oats of any type since oats has a protein that mimics gluten in grains. For those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, this can be a real problem if they do not know. I am in my mid 70’s, never get sick and never had an operation and I am very thankful to God.
There’s tons of poison put into the ground, water, pesticide,…not like what your parents ate years ago. In 1950 wheat was scientifically modified to produce tons more grains. But there was no safety test done. Notice how much more illnesses there are today? Most are due to hybridized flour. Notice all the chemicals put in our water system? How about killer chemicals put into the ground to kill weeds plus who knows what else, oh n the toxic chemicals buried in our soil? Our societies so sick like never before!!!
@randall1715 Dr. Li is talking pasture fed free-range eggs. These eggs do not have the same problems that eggs from chickens that are caged and kept in huge "tent rows" have. They are healthy and organic.
I’m in my 80’s . organic steel cut oats are a “must have “ for my morning break fast! I add frozen wild blueberries. Or blackberries. Fresh strawberry in season. All my food is organic, pasture grown including the eggs . food is my medicine as I’m super sensitive to drugs. Do not eat sugar. Only food with natural occurring sugar. Am trying to rebuild muscle after Covid from 6 months ago. Weigh about 115. Fats from salmon, olive. Oil…occasional lamb chops from local farm… interested in stem cell healing to rebuild Mitochondria. Exercise daily but not enough due to vertigo from old brain injury. Thank you Doctor for being so specific. We very old people were fortunate to not eat synthetic food and beverages.😍🙏oh yes Eggs❤ from local farmland
I admire your daily regimen and follow same principles 90% of the time. The other 10% are things I can’t control, such as when eating out or as a guest at someone’s home.
I love watching Dr. Li. He is extremely knowledgeable and I like how he uses analogies and explains the science behind everything. He keeps the information interesting, has a nice voice and speaks at a good pace-you actually want to listen to him unlike other dry and boring doctors who don't offer much of the science aspect or explanations. II fitst discovered your channel when I was extremely unwell and continued to get worse l, displaying new symptoms. All I could do was lay in bed while going through a frustrating medical journey, seeing specialist after soecialist and test after test like a guinea pig. I was very inspired by the concept of using foods to aid in healing. From there I was hooked up and on Dr. Li and his content. I appreciate how he keeps things fresh and fresh talks about different topics. As he is an expert on the vascular system, which is so crucial in keeping our bodies running well, I appreciate how he covers aboutkeeping blood flow healthy. Can you please talk about varicose veins and what is actually happening, risks and what can be done to keep the veins healthy and prevent them from worsening. Im wondering if it could also be genetic? 🤔 My doctor does nit have much to offer aside from telling me that if it starts to hurt she can refer me to a surgeon. Definitely a reactive rather than preventive dr unfortunately. Thanks again, Dr Li! So glad I discovered your channel, your content has completely changed my perspective on healing the body naturally and has sparked my interest in learning more about functional medicine. I have gone the natural and conventional medicine route but neither has offered me as much insight or has explained as much as Dr. Li has. It's a shame that doctors are not like Dr. Li
Europe is for Polenta .... and they still eat it today.... wonderful stuff: 1. Just boiled in water. 2. Boiled in water, poured into baking tray, baked in oven, cut into sections and fried on stove in little oil oil, topped with sautekraut, which has also has being fried in little olive oil, eat it with the fried polenta. seeds can be added to this, cumin seeds being the European favourite: The no: 1: Also boiled polenta, cooled, topped with natural yoghurt, add nuts of your choice. And home made sauces Boiled milk or cold: Variety is endless: Very filling. Can be eaten often. In Europe this was considered a poor man's meal... peasant food.
Thank you for this information. I sleep on my left side. I always wished to sleep on my right side. I didn't know how blessed I am to be sleeping on my left side . Many of the Ailments you mentioned goes on in my body. Again thank you.. God bless you, sir❤❤❤❤
I feel better sleeping on my right side. My heart starts to bang on my left side. So you see it's different for everyone and is according to other things that are going on in the body.
I am 73 years old woman. I love milk. Last month, my dog pulled me and i fell flat on the sidewalk. No broken bone! I think that this is thanks to me drinking milk everyday and taking 300 mg calcium citrate everyday. Plus magnesium citrate, d3, k2. I thank God that he did not make me listen to many other health teachers who say milk is bad. But i only drink one glass a day. Everything in moderation. I exercise also.
@@kimberlythomas2296 yeah! Seeds milk is just plain water. Thank you. Life is too short to listen to researchers who change opinions every few years. Just eat and drink non processed food. That is healthy enough. Thank you.
@@jakubchrobry3701 my point is about milk strengthening the bones. Not brag about falling. I was not paying attention to my dog, it was why she pulled me.I have no problem with strength and balance.
@@hollylarsen8944 exactly. Low fat milk is 1/2 water too. Keep your old botte. Break them down with water. You need Whole milk. The fat in it is good fat. That melts and flushes out bad fats. Thanks to stronger microscopes. They found thi to be a fact.
Dr Li, you videos are always inspiring and so insightful! Debunked the breakfast myths with lots of details that nobody tells us! Most things are not all good or not all evil. Thank you for telling the correct way of having breakfast.
I've been eating a bowl of instant oatmeal with 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of organic flaxseed meal,and 2 handfuls of chopped walnuts for years.. Also 2 hard boiled eggs with it. My yearly wellness checks have been normal for years. I eat red meats very rarely and eat more vegetables and fruits for lunch and dinner.
Thank you for the info. Many good info. About saturated fats: I eat Animal products (grassfed and pasture raised) everyday, good saturated fats, don't eat processed foods included processed meat that contains bad ingredients, bad saturated fats. No junk foods, no fast foods all contains bad Saturated fats. Also, I used only immalayan salt (good minerals). Eat seeds and nuts but no grains. I am 78 years-old; no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, good vision, fitness walking 5 times a week. Intermittent fasting is very important. Also, I eat low carb(25/50) Take suplements, no medication.
Thank you for taking the time to break down the foods mentioned and telling us why they are a positive or negative food to eat. Your explanation was very interesting. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much for such a great video, pack with sensible information, research based and delivered with care and warmth. I’ve recently been diagnosed at 63 with OA and RA which has hit all my joints most aggressively and I’ve had to stop and take stock of my lifestyle and eating habits. I will be watching and listening to more of your blogs as I’m determined to unlearn my bad habits by increasing my knowledge. Thanks 🙏
I love you Dr Li...you are one the best ppl in the medical and food industry to subscribe to and follow. You have experience on both sides. I have learned a lot and have benefitted from your advices.. God bless as you carry on😊😊🙏🏽
Just subscribed, love to know that there is an Asian doktor that recommend fruits & veggies available in tropical country like Phils., thank you Dr. Li. for healthy tips, keep uploading
I am 95. And agree with everything Dr,Li talks about eggs l have one every day Also steel cut oats I have a bowl every morning. Too. Then a small piece of good bread with l tablespoon of almond butter Mmm. Then l have my black tea. I do have fruit before l have my breakfast Tomorrow it will be Kiwi blueberries and a peach. I am female weigh 118 lbs my. BP was 126 / 65 / 56 I exercise twice a day. On u tube senior exercise with KOZAK AND CLAUDIA ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER BREAKFAST
I love this talk on dietary foods. Thank you for taking up your valuable time. 53:12 teaching us. Many of us love to hear your words of wisdom you are so special Bless you. H k
Eggs contain all amino acids. But they’re toxic if fed soy, corn and grains. Must be from truly free range chickens that eat nature’s diet…bugs and such.
They are now saying that there are two new essential nutrients. There are two saturated fats. One has 15 carbon bonds. The other has 17. Butter has a relatively high amount of it in them. Some meats and most cheeses also are somewhat high, and may take about the size of a cube of butter to match about 3 tablespoons of butter. Anyway, mix and match. They say it is likely the main reason the people of Sardinia (an island in the Mediterranean Sea) live so much longer than most.
@@gregmellott5715 I saw that too. The dairy industry has been busy defending themselves but I believe it’s true. The problem in the US is probably we overeat everything including dairy. There are some disturbing studies about the association of milk with type 1 diabetes and cataracts so more research is warranted in my opinion.
It's been a while since I'm doing intermittent fasting. I never eat in the morning. My last meal would be 8pm the earlier and 10pm the latest. After that no more food coming in. I am a full-time elderly personal caregiver I have a dementia patient under my care. I usually sleep late coz I am also studying online to advance my career. I sleep usually at 2am and get up at 9am. I just drink water with ACV after I get up, then later I would take my black coffee and water until 1pm or 2pm that's the time I would break my fast. I'm used to it already. I never liked to eat breakfast anymore since I started IF. Thanks a lot Dr. William for your fine explanation about what happened during the fasting hours. Great information. 💖🤩
Cholesterol is healthy, made by our bodies, doesn't need to be lowered. The oldest living people have the highest LDL levels. It protects us as we age. Cholesterol is completely misunderstood. Put oatmeal is sprayed with glyphosate so it's very important to get organic and glyphosate free.
Water is healthy right? But what happens if you drink 10 gallons in an hour? You'll get water intoxication. Music is good too right? But what happens if you turn the volume too loud? You go deaf.... Moderation is key. In other words, yes, we need cholesterol like we need water (and music), but too much is absolutely harmful. This is a common sense concept that you must understand and apply to everything in life. And regarding the association between higher cholesterol levels and lower mortality rates in old people... This is just an association that is likely explained by the fact that lower cholesterol levels in old people are downstream effects of conditions that cause rapid weight loss. In other words, the illnesses that old people fall victim to tend to lead to rapid weight loss, and the weight loss then causes lower cholesterol levels. That means the healthier old people live longer because they don't fall victim to the the illnesses that cause rapid weight loss, and their cholesterol levels tend to be higher because of it.
Oats are wonderful. I make my own muesli: large-flake oats, chopped almonds and walnuts (and cashews and hazelnuts when they're on special), plus all kinds of seeds (sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, hemp, and crushed flax) and dried fruit (raisins, currants, and chopped apricots, figs, mangos, and dates). Sometimes I'll add unsweetened coconut and/or a bit of chopped crystallized ginger for a nice kick. I can make this for under half the cost of store-bought muesli---and organic, too. I eat it with yogurt, soaked chia seeds, and usually blueberries. Delicious and keeps me full for hours. Sometimes I eat this for dinner . . . .
I make a granola which is full of all the good stuff you mentioned above. Like the toasted effect. My sweetner is pure maple sugar, not too much. We rise at about 5:00am and break our fast at around 10:00 am. Works well! during the day we munch on raw vegetables, towards evening a smoothie with non soy protein or a real meal. Works well.....balanced
For those who don't eat bacon, when it gets to the rather lengthy bacon section of the video, you can go to around 53.03 if you'd like to skip that part.
I use to make a mixture of cooked cool oatmeal with slightly more liquid as to not be to thick and apply it to my face it's amazing how it makes your skin feel. Surprisingly I do most of what you've mentioned already it's good to know I don't have to change my daily routine, I'm so delighted to come across your videos your amazing ! Thank you very much Dr. Li
Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in great amounts in leafy green vegetables, more than in eggs. Dark green leafy vegetables also have more calcium than milk.
Oh wonderful for people with normal blood sugar. There is a reason for keto and the carnivore diet. It would be nice if you address diabetics once in a while. ❤
I eat breakfast at 12, pasture eggs and uncured bacon one slice of crap bread lol, (I miss cereal for breakfast), coffee with heavy whipping cream, dinner at 6. Nothing in between, fast 18 hrs. Coming up on four years. Thanks for the piece sir.
Wow dr li ur knocking it out of the park with all these new chats, love the details about how scientifically healthful these ‘foods as medicine’ r to us instead of just stating it’s healthy bc no one accepts ‘healthy’ at face value anymore, gotta prove it to folks; so most of all thanks for explaining it in a lay way so I can explain it to my kids too! these r basically ur book only broken into snippets, awesome!
Doc, I was blown away by your TED talk on ANGIOGENESIS. I was, in fact, clapping as hard as the audience at the end of your presentation. There's a lot of buzz about the benefits of ACV, Apple Cider Vinegar. I would like your opinion on the benefits or lack thereof of ACV. Thanks Doc.
I quit eating oatmeal (was eating steel cut oats for over 10 years). The reason I stopped is that it had no effect on my cholesterol. Since I've stopped eating oatmeal, my cholesterol is a couple of points better. The only reason I ate oatmeal was because it was supposed to reduce the cholesterol. I've read and listened to many people on this subject. Some say it lowers cholesterol and some say we shouldn't eat oatmeal. It may work for some people but it didn't work for me. I ate it everyday for years and it didn't work. Now I eat one egg for breakfast and a handful of nuts. I started intermittent fasting almost 5 years ago and I was eating oatmeal for breakfast every day back then. I still do intermittent fasting to keep the weight off as I'm at my goal weight. I stopped eating oatmeal about a year and a half ago to see if my cholesterol would go up, stay the same or reduce. I was surprised that it went down slightly. I'm hoping the next time I have it tested that maybe it will go down some more. I have never been on statins (I refuse to take that risk) as I saw what it did to some people in my family. I don't believe that any one doctor has all the answers. I appreciate all the doctors on You Tube that are educating us but I don't believe everything that they say and I don't believe everything the researchers publicize. It is very difficult for non-doctors to really know what the best thing is to do. I try to take it in and am cautious on what I do but I believe intermittent fasting has helped me the most of any so called diet that I've ever tried. I've been able to keep my weight under control and I cook my own food (no processed food). I'm 70 and on no prescriptions except for potassium with citric acid to dissolve kidney stones and hopefully not have any more of those.
He is right! Its been five years already that i dont ate late anymore until 7 or 8:00am in the morning. I get used to it now, and i dont feel hungry or starving until 8:00AM😂 when i get up i'm checking my weights on a scale and thats how i found out to maitain my weights! It is all about the foods that are consuming !
Re: 0% fat yogurt, check the ingredients list. Thickeners and emulsifiers will be listed (at least in Canada). There are lots that have only skimmed milk and bacterial culture. Thanks Dr Li, lots of good info. I like that you explain why a food is 🚦, that way we can assess the complex, varied and broad spectrum of our grocery shelves,gardens, markets and restaurants to make a better informed choice.
Could you please create a video as to why we get conflicting information about dairy, eggs, tofu, soy, and oatmeal. What is going on with science-based nutrition please? Why the confusion? I have enjoyed your videos over the years. Oatmeal is my favorite. Thank you!
It's definitely weird, there are about 4 different doctors I trust (mostly) to be honest, and with oatmeal, for one example, the split is 50/50 or 2/4 on whether oatmeal should or shouldn't be a part of a 'healthy' diet. It's the same with many (fresh) fruits, dairy etc...and I'm not even introducing any food sensitivities, just a basic healthy diet. It gets frustrating! I know oatmeal is great *topically* from others and personal experience but should I eat it as well? I honestly don't know! 🙄
Doc William, When I was growing up we always had Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat before school. Is Cream of Wheat as healthy as the Oats? On a cold morning a bowl of either was so good..Thank you for all the wonderful healthy tips. Your channel is awesome!!! 🤗
I'm 70 and I was doing fine until I tried eating a little steel cut oatmeal for breakfast (changing nothing else in my diet). I immediately starting gaining weight. Up until that point I was eating less than 20g of carbs a day and intermittent fasting. So I'm back to my low carb lifestyle and have lost the weight I gained. I now stick with my old breakfast of eggs (or cheese omelets), pork sausage or bacon and a cup of coffee. My HDL to Triglycerides ratio has never been lower. For gut microbiome, I eat things like greek yogurt, spinach, kale, and chard, and sauerkraut once a week.
A heavy meat and low carb diet is the best. Meat is the most nutrient dense food. Saturated fat and cholesterol is good for our body and brains. Our brain is made of 60% fat and cholesterol while the building blood of every cell is protien. I have been doing intermittent fasting for years and stayed at 200. Went heavy meat (carnivore) and most 30 lbs in 4 months.
@@danieldenton5721yeah that's right, all the research lately is saying that, watched heaps of of podcasts, and read all the comments, never heard anything bad.
I have been listening to various dietitians and doctors who say oats are bad, butter and saturated fat are really good. And plant based milka are bad. I have been following the above and intermittent fasting works a treat
32:0232:0532:08 Here in the UK 🇬🇧 I can buy rolled oats packed in a paper bag and the ingredients are listed as 100% oats, no additives at all. I make mine with milk and add pure honey and it is a delicious breakfast. I am 81yrs old and recently retired driving an articulated truck for just over 50yrs and consider myself to be fit and healthy and the same weight I was at 18yrs old.
My daughter had a heart transplant, last year, due to an issue she was born with, non-ventricular tachycardia. She is in her late 20’s. They always tell her to drink milk bc with the post-transplant meds, bone health, as well as other (kidneys, etc) is a major concern. As she drinks her milk she tells me “the doctors say this is good” They saved her life. So, she listens to their advice but I wish I could get her to realize Milk isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I try to respect that it’s her journey.
My 86yr old mother has a glass of milk every day or sometimes in the middle of the night and has done this all her life. Her constitution is amazing, and she has no metabolic or health conditions other than a congenital heart issue that presents no problems. Our species evolved with dairy. Try not to worry too much. 🤗
They drank goat and sheep milk in the Bible . They did not drink cow milk from what I have researched. Cow milk is difficult to process. If she is going to drink Cows milk, she should go to a family owned and buy fresh milk from them . Store bought milk is bad because it's been pasteurized and homogized If you buy it in the stores, make sure it is non-homogized, but unfortunately, it will be pasteurized.
Dont be insane, i have drank 5l of milk per day for 59 years and I can guarantee my triglyceride to JDL ratio and overall fitness is massively superior to yours.
My BP was 225/125 and my pulse was 102 and I was sitting down for hours. I took my BP medicine, and it went down for an hour, and it went right back up. I fixed a packet of instant oatmeal and got a small Banan and started slowly eating them. Within an hour my BP was down to 179/95, and my pulse was running in the 80's. By morning (7 hours later) my BP was 120/72 and my pulse was 65. I changed my diet, lowered my sodium intake, added Vit D3, Vit K2, magnesium, zinc, copper, Vit B1, B3, B6, B12, Vit C, Vit E, seaweed, carrot juice, cabbage, organic oatmeal, blueberries, beets, blackberries, black currants, cantaloup, pumpkin, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, watermelon, green, white and earl grey tea, steamed, pressure cooked, smoked and rotisserie cooked meats. I drink 100% fruit juices and own two juicers (one crushes) and I drink a mixed Meagan Milk of Coconut, Blanched Almonds, Oats, Rice (8 ingredients). My BP is now normal, and my pulse is normal, and I am down from 265 pounds to 218 pounds in just 6 months. Sometimes when I wake up my BP is 112/55 and my pulse is as low as 48. Sometimes I only eat one or two meals a day and I eat when I feel I need to, not when I want to. If I feel tired or dizzy, I now eat black berries and blue berries and a small bowl of organic oatmeal with organic spices. Someone replied that 225/125 would have me in a Morge. I replied NOPE! Search for Highest Blood Pressure On Record Over 300
@@manojlogulic4234 High Blood Pressure can be caused by NOT just one issue. I have a stomach ulcer, not artery blockage. Eating the Oatmeal and Banana increases the slime layer and covers the ulcer, so my Blood Pressure started to lower almost immediately. I also done research about High Blood Pressure and the medicine (Amlodipine) I was prescribed by a doctor. It says to not eat certain foods, or it will increase the Amlodipine in my blood and thus increase symptoms from taking the Amlodipine.
Tqsm Dr LI for your simple n easy to follow information but not information only Great information I really salute n tq so much for the kind work for us May God 🙏💗 bless you and n all of us in this world I am from Malaysia K, Lumpur
I am aiming for 16 hours fasting. I got the hint from my naturopath friend, when I experienced at bit of discomfort of my liver after eating fatty meals. She explained that our liver works at its hardest from 8-12 in the morning. I sometimes eat later in the evening, shortening my fast, but seldomly eat earlier like at 10:30 or 11. The liver is happy now, and I have dropped a bit more than a dress size. I came to love black coffee and don't like the change of flavor milk makes anymore. I do appreciate a small strong cappuccino occasionally, though.
Dr. Li. There are so many diverging theories on diet out there that frankly it's confusing. Some say all meat with no plants, others advocate only plants and seeds. Yet another group say absolutely no dairy. The carnivore believers tell us we need a lot of fat from meat and butter. Sometimes I don't feel like eating at all. I got to 81 without any serious illness so I must be doing something right. The French use only butter for cooking and they seem quite healthy. Who knows. Anyway, thank you for this information.
Yes, very conflicting diet theories, been hearing that oatmeal contain lectins which tear holes in stomach lining, I dont know what's true anymore. And I have osteoporosis, which some say I should stay away from lectins🤷♀️
I only cook with pork lard from people in the montain (every Saturday butchering a pig) Never sick, grow my food, fermenting everything when I can. Baking sourdough bread if anyone wants bread. Drinking every morning fresh ginger, honey hot water....tea...Still 110 lbs and got 6 packs for a 48 years old female. Don't trust any cooking oils out there and what's going on with olive oils are a shame.
@@tommynickels4570 you cant avoid oxalates completely, well you can if you go carnivore but thats a restrictive diet that most people avoid because they wanna have more variety, you avoid oxalates when they start causing you issues, i do great with 50g carbs and 20g sugar, over that amount i have health issues, so i do a low carb low keto diet, dairy is fine until it isnt, the only way to be sure is to do an elimination diet, do carnivore for 30 days, eat only meat salt and water, and add the food you wanna try and think you might have issue with, if you have issues is the food you added, meat never causes issues on its own unless you were bitten by a tick and you developed a rare "red meat" allergy, hope i helped. edit: fasting helped me alot, i usually do a 2 day fastd 2 times a month, usually between weeks. i also eat 12 noon and then again around 5 or 6 and nothing the rest of the day, dr ekberg is your best bet to solve most if not all your issues, he helped me alot, check his youtube channel.
One other point, the American Heart Association didn’t just get their studies wrong about eggs because they didn’t understand that there were other food items that could cause high cholesterol. They got it wrong because they were in bed with the sugar industry, trying to promote replacing cholesterol with sugary items. Even a child could figure out that unless you isolate a particular food item you can’t necessarily blame it for everything. They’re not that dumb. They made the studies in order to make the findings that they wanted. No wonder nobody trusts science now. They’ve totally confused the issues because of junk science and greed.
I watched another podcast from this author, and he has a way of eating he calls "Mediterasian", it is a mixture of Mediterranean, and Asian style foods, he says it is because they are both from cultures with longevity records. He is certainly right about the Asians, especially the Hong Kong Asians who have the best life expectancy, and second is Japanese. The Hong Kong residents also have the highest consumption of meat. There is food for thought.
Thank you, I knew a lot of your information but you broke it down even better. I rarely eat bacon anymore (maybe a slice once every four months) but because I’m now 74 years old, ( of course any age, bacon is bad for you) I just don’t eat it at all , knowing the damage it’s doing to my body. I do work out every morning five/six days a week along one half hour of stretching. Thank you Doctor your information is extremely helpful 🙏
Dr. Lee, I love your videos. I learn so much. Fascinating!!! My personal experience - About 3 years ago, within 30 days I suddenly developed crippling pain in my toes (and toe nails), plantar, heels, ankles and knees. The weight of a bed sheet was too much for my toe nails and agonizing pain would wake me during the night. The pain spread to my fingers, hands, wrists and elbows. The doctor ordered Xrays that showed each joint was inflammed, displaying "osteo arthritis" as the cause. I was referred to a Rheumatologist specialist who reviewed my Xrays and told me there was nothing that could be done but to prescribe pain meds for the agony of walking or the loss of sensation in my fingers/hands/thumb, etc. - My D.O. suggested that I was suffering from inflammation and might want to try a radical dietary change to solve it. She said I needed to stop eating meat, dairy, cheese, processed foods, salt, etc. and go to a plant-based diet to solve my inflammation troubles. It was a big move for someone accustomed to eating fast food, restaurant meals and lots of meat! With no other choice, I decided to try it! - Within 30 days, all my symptoms went away! I went to the 2024 eclipse totality path in Sulphur Springs, TX. There I met a waitress in her 30's who had her large intestine "explode" and also rupture her gall bladder. She was lucky to meet a Doctor, suggesting that she only eat meat and veggies from her family farm, where no animal injections (hormones, etc.) were given to the animals or vegetables. All her symptoms went away. - On the way home 2 days later, I met a 19 year old waitress in Vicksburg, MS (I can eat fish without bad symptoms!) who told me she suffered a sudden rupture of her gall bladder a year ago! Her doctor recommended that she only eat the meat and vegetables from her family farm, where toxins and growth hormones are not used. How many of us Americans are being poisoned by the meat and food processing industry that pushes all these artificial growth hormones, chemicals and drugs on beef/pork/fowl and are used in processed foods?
Stop eating Oats & Wheat, regardless of their packaging & labels. Wheat & Oat products cause arthritis & generate sulfuric acid. They also contain lots of anti-nutrients & lectins that are highly damaging to the linings in the gut - a big source of chronic inflammation, chronic joint pain/arthritis, chronic fatigue, obesity, & heart disease.
I have a low sugar granola sprinkled with tree nuts, and berries with a little almond milk. For a special treat, I have a keto waffle with pastured raised, boiled egg and butter. I am 86 and have a 72 year old boyfriend!😂😊
You want LOTS of animal fat! And clean MCT oil/caprylic 8 or 10 oil gives the ketones needed to burn fat. I started taking a tablespoon at night before sleep and belly fat FINALLY started melting. We also cook with it, as well as Kerry Gold butter and pure 100% olive oil from Greece. We get our meat from a farmer who pasture-raises the animals and they’re grass-fed. This makes them high in Omega 3, Vitamins A,B,D,E,K. Vitamin K is critical for heart health. The farmer shares his story on his website and he has shared with me in person what he eats on a daily basis. Beef, pork, bacon, hard cheeses, drinks heavy whipping cream, and a few berries sometimes. He eats an equal amount of pasture-raised grass-fed butter with every bite of meat. He eats several truly free roaming chicken eggs every day. We get eggs from him. They’re a beautiful orange color of truly natural eggs. He’s been eating like this for 4 years. Before he started eating like that☝🏼, he was diabetic, his triglycerides were off the chart, his blood pressure was high. He felt tired and was in pain all the time. He has lost 100+ pounds and all his numbers are in the low to mid-optimal range. We started eating like this around 5 weeks ago. We’ve lost weight, body pain has vanished, we have more energy and strength. Our skin has cleared and looks beautiful. We’re in our 60’s. We thought we were done before learning about the carnivore lifestyle, the need for lots of animal fats, and the toxicity in plant foods and seed oils. Fat is critical, not just for the body but also for the brain. There are lots of doctors doing vids about healing dementia with butter. Harvard doctors are explaining how lots of the right fats heal dementia and relieve anxiety. Kerry Gold butter is the only pasture-raised grass-fed butter we’ve been able to find in grocery stores. I’m on the hunt for a local farmer that offers it. I watched a vid yesterday where the doctor said to have a day of eating just lots of butter. We also top eggs with some organic FULL FAT Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt, olive oil and MCT oil help with the constipation issue that can happen with eating carnivore. One of our neighbor friends went carnivore 7 weeks before we started. She had already lost 16 pounds and her numbers were perfect. We make Dr Berg’s fat bombs…delish. And there are carnivore ice cream recipes. The easiest is egg yolks and heavy whipping cream. Also delish! We also eat OMAD…one meal a day. If we eat before noon, we might have a snack of meat and cheese roll-ups or a fat bomb around 5’ish. We’re getting much better sleep now, too. I love learning in the past couple of days that coffee grows telomeres. So we have our morning coffee with heavy whipping cream and a little monkfruit which doesn’t raise blood sugar.👍🏼
Ive heard that science we need a certain amount of certain fats to get rid of the bad fats Also you are so right about 'clean' fat I dont know how to say scientifically but as the fat heats and turns into a burnt fat it is so bad for us
Ultimate food: 1/2 oats, 1/4 wholemeal flour, 1/4 all purpose flour, water. Mix, add water to make a pancake mix as thick as double cream. Leave overnight and eat 2/3 next day. Cook like pancakes. Keep 1/3 as a 'sourdough' starter in a mason jar. After 3 days it will ferment. Top the oatcakes with cheese and grill for 5 minutes, brown + red sauce. Roll up ~ Staffordshire Oatcakes.
Why would you carb load with all that gluten in the morning? Do you have a really physical job? I do not and all those carbs are unneeded and would put me to sleep an hour after I got to work!!!
Great video, just wanted to mention that butter is actually quite healthy for you and prevents breast cancer. Having a little in cooking your scrambled eggs is fine.
My father put all of his faith in Dr. James McDougall. Even spent his precious retirement days illustrating one of his books. They're both dead. I'm backing you--let's see if I can break 70.💪🏽
Dr. John McDougall 1. What did your dad die from please? McDougall had the shot and no autopsy so I am rethinking much of what he taught. I would like to add he was a dedicated doctor with the best interests of his patients. I think he was correct for adult weight loss but that slender elderly and children, perhaps everyone could benefit from eggs and a little butter and milk or cheese. The shot complicates things because some batches had high complication rates.
@@andreafong9952 Someone gave my father a McDougall Diet Plan book after having a heart attack, and he soon became a McDougall disciple. But my father also had hypertension most of his life and eventually he died from a stroke. (This was a year or so before Covid.) Sometimes I have the feeling following dietary advise is like walking through a mine field. One guy on Insta is telling me broccoli is unhealthy. Another woman is saying don't eat grapes. My moisturizer is supposedly killing me. Sprinkle turmeric on everything!...I found out I run the risk of macular degeneration, so should I start eating eggs? Ultimately you just have to go with your own instincts. I know very little about Dr. McDougall's death but it makes sense the family would want to keep the circumstances private, especially if people are still buying his books.
Summary
1. Intermittent fasting, 12 hours a day, 7pm-7am
2. Oats have fiber and anti-inflammatory substances, eat with pinch salt, fresh fruit and little plant based milk
3. Egg are good for your heart, lowers cholesterol, boil them, try with low sodium soy sauce
4. Bacon, tasty but not good for you because salt and saturated fat (old outdated info) burning bacon creates cancer causing chemicals, cook lightly in olive oil
5. Dairy is good has calcium and protein, eat low fat milk to avoid saturated fat (outdated info), has natural trans fat, pasture raised cows have omega 3s, has lactose milk sugar, helps build strong bones, estrogen weakens bones (wrong-estrogen strengthens bones).
6. Black coffee good for you but don't have with cream because locks good substances, drink coffee with plant based milk.
7. Grass-fed cheese has omega 3 FA, eating 200grams a day is good for you.
8. Yogurt is good because it has good gut bacteria, reduces all cause death, low fat yogurt has thickeners that are not good for you, eat whole plain Greek yogurt with nuts, dried fruit, seeds fresh fruit, honey. Buckwheat honey is good for you b/c has antioxidants.
Thank you for this!
One thing I do not agreed with him and you, no need to add more oil, just fry medium heat. Avoid bacon with nitrate and sugar. Costco has a good one, all in moderation
With the bacon, need to read label, can be found low in nitrate and sugar; fry at medium heat so it won burn and of curse eat in moderation, not every day, maybe once or twice a month. Sugar feed cancers cell, avoid sugar completely
Is dried fruit ok? I thought that had loads of sugar. I love it for a snack, but stopped these.
200 gr de queso al día es demasiado....!!
Took much of what Dr. Li teaches about “food as medicine” to heart after being diagnosed with lymphoma. I’ve boiled much of what he preaches down to a few simple guidelines. The number one being, steer clear of processed foods! You truly are what you eat.

Do some research on mushrooms and capsacin. Lyphoma runs in my family, those two things and whole foods, no chemicals and 14 hours of fasting will help you within a week. p.s. Don't forget your 2,500 mg of Vitamin C daily.
There are rare individuals who have a very special knack of talking to ppl in an exceptionally clear manner, with medical jargon broken down into easy to understand language for everyone. Dr Li is DEFINITELY one of these talented individuals.

Just wondering if you've ever had your arteries checked for plaque and what did they say?
I learn a great deal from Dr. Li and respect his scientific expertise a great deal. I would, however, appreciate it if he would speak about allergens to various foods he recommends, such as milk and wheat and eggs. I cannot eat any of these so concerned that I'm missing essential nutrients. What should one take to support the body that cannot handle these three food groups?
Thanks in advance for your direction.
I'm the new guy. I have 5 years whole foods. 1st time here and I Love this dude. Mark Hyman got me started. 4 years clean and sober. and I'm more proud of eating clean. Then again I could not sober up until I got the nutrition down. Life is good.

I think you are still behind the times on butter. Butter is not harmful at all and it’s 1 million times better than margarine which is pure poison.
I agree
You’re correct.. I see people at the store buying. I can’t believe it’s not butter or whatever that stuff is and I just want to scream stop don’t do it. But you have to come to your journey to truth
Completely agree. I am guessing Dr. Li isn’t impressed by carnivore diets. Neither am I, but I have studied the scientifically supported benefits and am surprised the good doc here remains close minded.

I'm 75 and now in excellent health, compared to where I was 5 years ago. I eat 2 meals a day: one at 11:30am - 4 eggs and anywhere from 5 to 8 pieces of bacon or 4 Merguez sausages. My second meal is a 12-16oz ribeye steak at 6pm. Before I started eating this way I weight 254 pounds, my blood pressure was 170/140, and I was prediabetic. Today, I weigh 170, my blood pressure is 120/68, and I'm no longer prediabetic. I'll continue this regime because it obviously works for me.
So you're basically a high protein eater...but is that just your core diet with some veg or carbs or fruit thrown in, or is that your whole diet?
@@Finnegas-Eces I never eat veggies. I eat just meat, eggs, and butter. I will occasionally eat blueberries and an avocado, but never more than once a week.
Wow I don't know what to say other than If I have to eat like this to come off carbs...well I will dig in to this info.
@@twofarg0ne763 Thanks for replying...fascinating, I guess the bottom line is if it works for you keep doing it!
You're just eating protein. It's a very common diet. Since you have no SUGAR intake, that alone will cause weight loss and other health benefits. There are many healthy plants you can eat that will not interfere with what you're doing. You need them for your cells, organs, digestive system and especially your colon to prevent cancer.
I'm glad to hear this. When i was a child, my grandmother used to make oatmeal snd honey and put it on a cut that wouldn't heal, then cover it with a bandaid. My mom was a nurse and always had a fit when she did this. Mammy was born in 1891and only went to school thru 8th grade. Up the mountains there were few doctors if any. I was born in 1956 with club feet. Mammy came down to the valley to tend me and my siblings while my parents worked. Mammy also tended to my grandfather who lived to be 90. Ft. Hey did well for their age bracket. Lots of oatmeal - real oatmeal, like i cook today.
Hi! My grandmother was born in 1893 and lived with us. I born in 1957. We drank our milk straight from the cow...made butter from cream on top.
Fresh eggs not pasteurized. Squirrels, rabbits wild. Fresh veggies from garden and wild blueberries n blackberries. Oatmeal was a staple. Very little sugar treats. No sodas. We raised black angus, grass fed. Life was GOOD back then. Sounds like you lived good life too.❤
Dr. Li, thank you for your informative and helpful videos. I love the way you explain things, so that everyone understands. You are very thorough and detailed. It has been teaching me a lot. Doctors nowadays don't take the time, but thank God we have you! God bless you!
Thank you Dr Li, I always watch your video’s and never stop learning! This one was the best! I am a former flight attendant and have left the industry with a “leaky gut” - I know that emulsifiers have a lot to do with it! Now I eat as healthy as I possibly can and never stop educating myself!

Been following health and fitness youtubers for over a year now.. But this video truly stands out. Very clear and nuanced recommendations backed up with facts and history. I eat 20 eggs per week btw. All pasture raised of course.
I eat greek yogurt like that as last meal of the day when I come from work after 9PM (I have only mealbreak at 3PM and thats too early for last meal and as I am a chef I cant eat during rush hour). Pure greek yogurt with chia seeds, hemp, crushed linseeds, minced nut mix, acacia fibers, some fruits like blue berries, banana, fresh strawberries and a dash of whole milk or cream and a drizzle of raw honey. Keeps my digestion healthy while I sleep. I no longer buy flavored yogurts, making it yourself is soooo much better! Just dont put pineapple in it, it goes very bad with dairy, thats why you rarely see pineapple flavored dairy. I have that with breakfast or lunch instead :)
Me too😊

You have zero nutritional awareness.
So you load your body with toxic levels of omega 6 before the time when you should sleep and allow your body to repair.
Your thinking is decades old big food propoganda.
Where do you get acacia fiber?
@@yenski2012 I have it from Now! Which is I think pretty easy available worldwide. Its in a big container and you most likely find it at the bottom shelve. In my supermarket they both have it at the supplement section and at the healthy food and organic section. They may also sell it in a bag to refill but not sure if its the acacia or physillum husk, I use both but acacia is way better.

lols I actually do take notes to do more research after
great advice on oats . I turned into pre-diabetic recently . I stopped all grains. Once I bring my A1C below 5.5 I will start steel cut oats. That is a great idea to cook night before breakfast.
All my family and myself were fed porridge from being a small child and we all still love it today. Just don't go overboard and spoil it with too much of anything. It really does keep your body healthy by feeding the natural good bacteria in your stomach. Everything in moderation and slowly reduce the refined sugar over time. Fast for 24 hrs once a week. 🙏🙏🙏
@@juliaw7533 how do you cook your porridge?
@@Elaine-w2sNothing special but definitely chuck the microwave!! I just use a gas hob and add milk. I pour extra cold milk over and let it cool but my grandaughter likes a blob of maple syrup and my daughter likes it just like me. Some people like to use half water and even add a sprinkle of salt although I can't say I've tried it. My mum is 88 and still has it for breakfast almost every day! 🙏 PS We all have great skin!
@@juliaw7533 Do you use rice porridge and mix with milk?
I mix organic raisins,, cinnamon, sprouted pumpkin seeds, and organic steel cut oats in a glass container. Pour over boiling water, cover and allow to return to room temperature. Stir, keep in fridge and eat cold for days. If it ferments a bit, so much the better. Yum.
Boiling would be detrimental. Hot water would not destroy nutrients as much.
The best thing about Dr Lee is logical science
I'm on track with most of what you said. I've recently changed the cheese I eat too hard cheese. Like sharp cheddar. I was never a fan of milk my whole life. I stopped drinking it when I was able to make my own choices and not what I was served. Lol I eat bacon once in a while. And I bake it. Next time I do that, I'll add olive oil. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
Thank you Dr. Li for taking the time to educate us about using food to prevent cetain illnesses and also to heal. I am a new subscriber who saw you on the Rachel Ray Show and was so inpressed by what you showed and told us on her show that when I found you online I was immmediately in. This video is so on point and You cleared up a lot of concepts about breakfast foods to eat and preparation. I have already changed my eating habits and food choices to 30% meat no beef and 70% plant based thanks to you and I am seeing and feeling a difference in my health and energy levels. I also discovered that there are lots of variety and choices of foods which I thought previously was limited. Thank you sooo very much for sharing.
Dr. Li, I like the Ferrari analogy! Vroom!! 🚘
I can listen to you all day long and remember it love and light from Austria 🇦🇹
We bring the steel cut oats to a boil, put a tight lid on and leave it overnight. It cooks beautifully and needs just a quick stir with boiling water to be ready to serve. I like a date or two chopped up as a sweetener.
I knew it! Oatmeal is good for you and your gut. This doctor is probably the ablest speaker to explain in detail what are the benefits of oatmeal. What a pleasure to listen to his calm lecture.
If you're a man, however, his advice to eat soy products is not good. Taking on any extra estrogen for men is not advisable. A quick look at modern society raises some concerning questions on what we are doing to ourselves.
I listen to a lot of health talk, but when people damn oatmeal I don't listen, I have tried to switch to sprouted and organic though. I don't listen because my body tells me so.
Careful with non-organic ones and instant.
@@justjosie8963 They usually refer to the commercial ones, instant, and mixed with other stuff like sweeteners. Buy the organic ones.
If in the first place your gut is healthy. Unbeknownst to me I had gut issues. Eating oatmeal made me so ill. Since healing my gut, I can now eat and enjoy it.
My ma has ate breakfast of eggs, bacon & sausage homemade buttermilk biscuits with grits DAILY….she is in her 90’s. She is still going strong! The only time she was in the hospital was when I was born. However she has Never smoked & has Never even tasted an alcoholic beverage! ❤
I here these anecdotal stories once and a while. They are actually rare as most of the people who eat this way are dead. I would wager, you Ma didn't eat that when she was young, as most people could not afford to eat that way. That gave her a healthier start. There is also people who's genetics are stronger for longevity.. I am going to tell you that Dr, Li is wrong about eggs. Legally in the USA the egg industry cannot even call eggs healthy in any of their AD's as they are NOT.. Eggs feed TMAO, Choline leads to prostate cancer, which is medical proven. Bacon and sausage are class 1 carcinogens, meaning the do cause cancer. Your life..
@@randall1715Eggs are extremely healthy. I eat 2 to 3 every morning for breakfast, along with 2 slices of bacon and 1 pork sausage. I have done this for years. However, I only eat organic, pastured eggs, and bacon with no antibiotics, no added growth stimulants, no nitrates or nitrites added, no sugar, minimally processed and no artificial ingredients. Also, always vegetable fed.
I go to a functual medicine Dr. and do blood work (Spectralcell and other blood work every 6 months).
I don’t agree with the oats of any type since oats has a protein that mimics gluten in grains. For those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, this can be a real problem if they do not know.
I am in my mid 70’s, never get sick and never had an operation and I am very thankful to God.
There’s tons of poison put into the ground, water, pesticide,…not like what your parents ate years ago. In 1950 wheat was scientifically modified to produce tons more grains. But there was no safety test done. Notice how much more illnesses there are today? Most are due to hybridized flour. Notice all the chemicals put in our water system? How about killer chemicals put into the ground to kill weeds plus who knows what else, oh n the toxic chemicals buried in our soil? Our societies so sick like never before!!!
@randall1715 Dr. Li is talking pasture fed free-range eggs. These eggs do not have the same problems that eggs from chickens that are caged and kept in huge "tent rows" have. They are healthy and organic.
@@sjisom8438- I learned the only difference between caged & free range chickens, is that free range have an extra foot or two to move around.
I’m in my 80’s . organic steel cut oats are a “must have “ for my morning break fast! I add frozen wild blueberries. Or blackberries. Fresh strawberry in season. All my food is organic, pasture grown including the eggs . food is my medicine as I’m super sensitive to drugs. Do not eat sugar. Only food with natural occurring sugar. Am trying to rebuild muscle after Covid from 6 months ago. Weigh about 115.
Fats from salmon, olive. Oil…occasional lamb chops from local farm… interested in stem cell healing to rebuild Mitochondria.
Exercise daily but not enough due to vertigo from old brain injury.
Thank you Doctor for being so specific. We very old people were fortunate to not eat synthetic food and beverages.😍🙏oh yes Eggs❤ from local farmland
Fully Agree your choices! Absolutely Organic Pasture Raised Eggs. 😊🙌
I no longer eat eggs. Stopped using diary over 20 years ago!
I dropped down to 122 lbs at 6 feet tall . Age 74. I got poisoned by C0vid myself 3 and a half years ago. LONG COVID.
I admire your daily regimen and follow same principles 90% of the time. The other 10% are things I can’t control, such as when eating out or as a guest at someone’s home.
That '...very old people were fortunate to not eat synthetic food and beverages....' is so interesting!
I love watching Dr. Li. He is extremely knowledgeable and I like how he uses analogies and explains the science behind everything. He keeps the information interesting, has a nice voice and speaks at a good pace-you actually want to listen to him unlike other dry and boring doctors who don't offer much of the science aspect or explanations. II fitst discovered your channel when I was extremely unwell and continued to get worse l, displaying new symptoms. All I could do was lay in bed while going through a frustrating medical journey, seeing specialist after soecialist and test after test like a guinea pig. I was very inspired by the concept of using foods to aid in healing. From there I was hooked up and on Dr. Li and his content. I appreciate how he keeps things fresh and fresh talks about different topics. As he is an expert on the vascular system, which is so crucial in keeping our bodies running well, I appreciate how he covers aboutkeeping blood flow healthy. Can you please talk about varicose veins and what is actually happening, risks and what can be done to keep the veins healthy and prevent them from worsening. Im wondering if it could also be genetic? 🤔 My doctor does nit have much to offer aside from telling me that if it starts to hurt she can refer me to a surgeon. Definitely a reactive rather than preventive dr unfortunately. Thanks again, Dr Li! So glad I discovered your channel, your content has completely changed my perspective on healing the body naturally and has sparked my interest in learning more about functional medicine. I have gone the natural and conventional medicine route but neither has offered me as much insight or has explained as much as Dr. Li has. It's a shame that doctors are not like Dr. Li
I've been tuning in regularly this fall and just wanted to say I am so thankful for what you share here. Really fascinating and helpful.
I've found that eating my last meal by 5pm helps me keep weight under control without any effort. I don't eat again till about 7am the next day.
Europe is for Polenta .... and they still eat it today.... wonderful stuff:
1. Just boiled in water.
2. Boiled in water, poured into baking tray, baked in oven,
cut into sections and fried on stove in little oil oil,
topped with sautekraut, which has also has being fried in little olive oil, eat it with the fried polenta.
seeds can be added to this, cumin seeds being the European favourite:
The no: 1: Also boiled polenta, cooled, topped with natural yoghurt, add nuts of your choice.
And home made sauces
Boiled milk or cold: Variety is endless: Very filling. Can be eaten often.
In Europe this was considered a poor man's meal... peasant food.
I am so glad to have stumbled across this podcast! I appreciate your approach to explaining this in layman’s terms! Thank you!!

I am 73 years old woman. I love milk. Last month, my dog pulled me and i fell flat on the sidewalk. No broken bone! I think that this is thanks to me drinking milk everyday and taking 300 mg calcium citrate everyday. Plus magnesium citrate, d3, k2. I thank God that he did not make me listen to many other health teachers who say milk is bad.
But i only drink one glass a day. Everything in moderation. I exercise also.
I work in a senior living center and those who are walking without assistance seemed to be those who drink milk everyday some 3 times a day!
@@kimberlythomas2296 yeah!
Seeds milk is just plain water. Thank you. Life is too short to listen to researchers who change opinions every few years. Just eat and drink non processed food. That is healthy enough. Thank you.
I wouldn't brag about falling. Maybe you should do something to improve your strength and balance.

Dr Li, you videos are always inspiring and so insightful! Debunked the breakfast myths with lots of details that nobody tells us! Most things are not all good or not all evil. Thank you for telling the correct way of having breakfast.
I've been eating a bowl of instant oatmeal with 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of organic flaxseed meal,and 2 handfuls of chopped walnuts for years.. Also 2 hard boiled eggs with it. My yearly wellness checks have been normal for years. I eat red meats very rarely and eat more vegetables and fruits for lunch and dinner.
Sadly the chemicals in that instant oatmeal will slowly damage your body
All your videos are well thought and your talent and ability to convey the contents for a layman are amazing. You are definitely blessed. God Bless!
Thank you for the info.
Many good info. About saturated fats: I eat Animal products (grassfed and pasture raised) everyday, good saturated fats, don't eat processed foods included processed meat that contains bad ingredients, bad saturated fats. No junk foods, no fast foods all contains bad Saturated fats.
Also, I used only immalayan salt (good minerals). Eat seeds and nuts but no grains.
I am 78 years-old; no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, good vision, fitness walking 5 times a week.
Intermittent fasting is very important.
Also, I eat low carb(25/50)
Take suplements, no medication.
What supplements?
Animals are animals no matter how they're raised, fats are fats no matter what type it is, both are bad for you.
Can you share what you eat for lunch and dinner and breakfast🎉
Thank you for taking the time to break down the foods mentioned and telling us why they are a positive or negative food to eat. Your explanation was very interesting. Thank you. ❤️

Eggs contain all amino acids. But they’re toxic if fed soy, corn and grains. Must be from truly free range chickens that eat nature’s diet…bugs and such.
With some sugar like fruits
@@benjaminbritt7862if you don’t mind spiking your blood glucose!
They are now saying that there are two new essential nutrients. There are two saturated fats. One has 15 carbon bonds. The other has 17. Butter has a relatively high amount of it in them. Some meats and most cheeses also are somewhat high, and may take about the size of a cube of butter to match about 3 tablespoons of butter. Anyway, mix and match. They say it is likely the main reason the people of Sardinia (an island in the Mediterranean Sea) live so much longer than most.
@@gregmellott5715 I saw that too. The dairy industry has been busy defending themselves but I believe it’s true. The problem in the US is probably we overeat everything including dairy. There are some disturbing studies about the association of milk with type 1 diabetes and cataracts so more research is warranted in my opinion.
Dr.Lee thank you for sharing so much good knowledge about our health. Keep spreading the good news. God loves you.blessings to you🙏
You are a great doctor, with extensive medical and nutritional knowledge, in addition to a unique talent for persuasion. Best wishes.
It's been a while since I'm doing intermittent fasting. I never eat in the morning. My last meal would be 8pm the earlier and 10pm the latest. After that no more food coming in. I am a full-time elderly personal caregiver I have a dementia patient under my care. I usually sleep late coz I am also studying online to advance my career. I sleep usually at 2am and get up at 9am. I just drink water with ACV after I get up, then later I would take my black coffee and water until 1pm or 2pm that's the time I would break my fast. I'm used to it already. I never liked to eat breakfast anymore since I started IF. Thanks a lot Dr. William for your fine explanation about what happened during the fasting hours. Great information. 💖🤩
I did the right thing.. tuned in to Dr. Wlliam explanation on oats.. Thanks doc..
Cholesterol is healthy, made by our bodies, doesn't need to be lowered. The oldest living people have the highest LDL levels. It protects us as we age. Cholesterol is completely misunderstood.
Put oatmeal is sprayed with glyphosate so it's very important to get organic and glyphosate free.
Water is healthy right? But what happens if you drink 10 gallons in an hour? You'll get water intoxication. Music is good too right? But what happens if you turn the volume too loud? You go deaf....
Moderation is key. In other words, yes, we need cholesterol like we need water (and music), but too much is absolutely harmful. This is a common sense concept that you must understand and apply to everything in life.
And regarding the association between higher cholesterol levels and lower mortality rates in old people... This is just an association that is likely explained by the fact that lower cholesterol levels in old people are downstream effects of conditions that cause rapid weight loss. In other words, the illnesses that old people fall victim to tend to lead to rapid weight loss, and the weight loss then causes lower cholesterol levels. That means the healthier old people live longer because they don't fall victim to the the illnesses that cause rapid weight loss, and their cholesterol levels tend to be higher because of it.
Level of LDL is less important than proportion of LDL to HDL; you want HDL to be higher.
Everyone should see this lecture......
♡ Thankyou dr William Li for you're knowledge and time.Every program just brilliant!
Oats are wonderful. I make my own muesli: large-flake oats, chopped almonds and walnuts (and cashews and hazelnuts when they're on special), plus all kinds of seeds (sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, hemp, and crushed flax) and dried fruit (raisins, currants, and chopped apricots, figs, mangos, and dates). Sometimes I'll add unsweetened coconut and/or a bit of chopped crystallized ginger for a nice kick. I can make this for under half the cost of store-bought muesli---and organic, too. I eat it with yogurt, soaked chia seeds, and usually blueberries. Delicious and keeps me full for hours. Sometimes I eat this for dinner . . . .
I make a granola which is full of all the good stuff you mentioned above. Like the toasted effect. My sweetner is pure maple sugar, not too much. We rise at about 5:00am and break our fast at around 10:00 am. Works well! during the day we munch on raw vegetables, towards evening a smoothie with non soy protein or a real meal. Works well.....balanced
Maybe oats were good in the 80's before glyphosate. Now it's high in glyphosate.
For those who don't eat bacon, when it gets to the rather lengthy bacon section of the video, you can go to around 53.03 if you'd like to skip that part.
Thank you
It’s wonderful to witness your healing. You r a-w-e-s-o-m-e👏🏼 thank you
I use to make a mixture of cooked cool oatmeal with slightly more liquid as to not be to thick and apply it to my face it's amazing how it makes your skin feel. Surprisingly I do most of what you've mentioned already it's good to know I don't have to change my daily routine, I'm so delighted to come across your videos your amazing ! Thank you very much Dr. Li
Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in great amounts in leafy green vegetables, more than in eggs. Dark green leafy vegetables also have more calcium than milk.

Wow dr li ur knocking it out of the park with all these new chats, love the details about how scientifically healthful these ‘foods as medicine’ r to us instead of just stating it’s healthy bc no one accepts ‘healthy’ at face value anymore, gotta prove it to folks; so most of all thanks for explaining it in a lay way so I can explain it to my kids too! these r basically ur book only broken into snippets, awesome!
Thank you Dr. Lee for helping us live better❤️❤️❤️
Doc, I was blown away by your TED talk on ANGIOGENESIS. I was, in fact, clapping as hard as the audience at the end of your presentation.
There's a lot of buzz about the benefits of ACV, Apple Cider Vinegar. I would like your opinion on the benefits or lack thereof of ACV.
Thanks Doc.
Thank you, Dr Li .
Very easy to understand academic information 👌.
I quit eating oatmeal (was eating steel cut oats for over 10 years). The reason I stopped is that it had no effect on my cholesterol. Since I've stopped eating oatmeal, my cholesterol is a couple of points better. The only reason I ate oatmeal was because it was supposed to reduce the cholesterol. I've read and listened to many people on this subject. Some say it lowers cholesterol and some say we shouldn't eat oatmeal. It may work for some people but it didn't work for me. I ate it everyday for years and it didn't work. Now I eat one egg for breakfast and a handful of nuts. I started intermittent fasting almost 5 years ago and I was eating oatmeal for breakfast every day back then. I still do intermittent fasting to keep the weight off as I'm at my goal weight. I stopped eating oatmeal about a year and a half ago to see if my cholesterol would go up, stay the same or reduce. I was surprised that it went down slightly. I'm hoping the next time I have it tested that maybe it will go down some more. I have never been on statins (I refuse to take that risk) as I saw what it did to some people in my family. I don't believe that any one doctor has all the answers. I appreciate all the doctors on You Tube that are educating us but I don't believe everything that they say and I don't believe everything the researchers publicize. It is very difficult for non-doctors to really know what the best thing is to do. I try to take it in and am cautious on what I do but I believe intermittent fasting has helped me the most of any so called diet that I've ever tried. I've been able to keep my weight under control and I cook my own food (no processed food). I'm 70 and on no prescriptions except for potassium with citric acid to dissolve kidney stones and hopefully not have any more of those.
Although he does claim "reasonableness" he also promotes some less than solid ideology involving nutrition.
Eating animal products ( meat butter milk cheese etc) if organic, grass fed, free range.....is healthy.
No evidence that olive oil is better than butter !
Oatmeals are highly advertised - and that is a big red flag for me.
I stay away from it.
There is nothing that works the same for everyone
Plain and simple.
@@davidcohen26Packaged oatmeals are, plain oats or quick oats, not so much.
Just have the check those labels
He is right! Its been five years already that i dont ate late anymore until 7 or 8:00am in the morning. I get used to it now, and i dont feel hungry or starving until 8:00AM😂 when i get up i'm checking my weights on a scale and thats how i found out to maitain my weights! It is all about the foods that are consuming !
Re: 0% fat yogurt, check the ingredients list. Thickeners and emulsifiers will be listed (at least in Canada). There are lots that have only skimmed milk and bacterial culture. Thanks Dr Li, lots of good info. I like that you explain why a food is 🚦, that way we can assess the complex, varied and broad spectrum of our grocery shelves,gardens, markets and restaurants to make a better informed choice.
Thank you for this great healthy advice.
Could you please create a video as to why we get conflicting information about dairy, eggs, tofu, soy, and oatmeal. What is going on with science-based nutrition please? Why the confusion? I have enjoyed your videos over the years. Oatmeal is my favorite. Thank you!
Qui Bono. Follow the money.
It's definitely weird, there are about 4 different doctors I trust (mostly) to be honest, and with oatmeal, for one example, the split is 50/50 or 2/4 on whether oatmeal should or shouldn't be a part of a 'healthy' diet. It's the same with many (fresh) fruits, dairy etc...and I'm not even introducing any food sensitivities, just a basic healthy diet. It gets frustrating!
I know oatmeal is great *topically* from others and personal experience but should I eat it as well? I honestly don't know! 🙄
It spikes my bloodsugar, not good
It gives me bloating , not good.
Has loads of carbs, not good.

Doc William, When I was growing up we always had Oatmeal or Cream of Wheat before school. Is Cream of Wheat as healthy as the Oats? On a cold morning a bowl of either was so good..Thank you for all the wonderful healthy tips. Your channel is awesome!!! 🤗
I'm 70 and I was doing fine until I tried eating a little steel cut oatmeal for breakfast (changing nothing else in my diet). I immediately starting gaining weight. Up until that point I was eating less than 20g of carbs a day and intermittent fasting. So I'm back to my low carb lifestyle and have lost the weight I gained. I now stick with my old breakfast of eggs (or cheese omelets), pork sausage or bacon and a cup of coffee. My HDL to Triglycerides ratio has never been lower. For gut microbiome, I eat things like greek yogurt, spinach, kale, and chard, and sauerkraut once a week.
Be careful with spinach, kale and chard. They are high in oxalate. Check out interviews of Sally Norton.
@@NMajid60 i've been eating that three or four times a week for 10 years and I've had no problems.
@@NMajid60the whole oxalate/lectin scare is grossly overblown.
A heavy meat and low carb diet is the best. Meat is the most nutrient dense food. Saturated fat and cholesterol is good for our body and brains. Our brain is made of 60% fat and cholesterol while the building blood of every cell is protien. I have been doing intermittent fasting for years and stayed at 200. Went heavy meat (carnivore) and most 30 lbs in 4 months.
@@danieldenton5721yeah that's right, all the research lately is saying that, watched heaps of of podcasts, and read all the comments, never heard anything bad.
I have been listening to various dietitians and doctors who say oats are bad, butter and saturated fat are really good. And plant based milka are bad.
I have been following the above and intermittent fasting works a treat
32:02 32:05 32:08 Here in the UK 🇬🇧 I can buy rolled oats packed in a paper bag and the ingredients are listed as 100% oats, no additives at all.

My daughter had a heart transplant, last year, due to an issue she was born with, non-ventricular tachycardia.
She is in her late 20’s.
They always tell her to drink milk bc with the post-transplant meds, bone health, as well as other (kidneys, etc) is a major concern.
As she drinks her milk she tells me “the doctors say this is good”
They saved her life. So, she listens to their advice but I wish I could get her to realize Milk isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I try to respect that it’s her journey.
My 86yr old mother has a glass of milk every day or sometimes in the middle of the night and has done this all her life. Her constitution is amazing, and she has no metabolic or health conditions other than a congenital heart issue that presents no problems. Our species evolved with dairy. Try not to worry too much. 🤗
They drank goat and sheep milk in the Bible .
They did not drink cow milk from what I have researched.
Cow milk is difficult to process.
If she is going to drink Cows milk, she should go to a family owned and buy fresh milk from them .
Store bought milk is bad because it's been pasteurized and homogized
If you buy it in the stores, make sure it is non-homogized, but unfortunately, it will be pasteurized.
Dont be insane, i have drank 5l of milk per day for 59 years and I can guarantee my triglyceride to JDL ratio and overall fitness is massively superior to yours.

Thank you so much for your insightful and knowledge-based facts to healthier eating and living. I have subscribed. 🙏
I am aiming for 16 hours fasting. I got the hint from my naturopath friend, when I experienced at bit of discomfort of my liver after eating fatty meals. She explained that our liver works at its hardest from 8-12 in the morning. I sometimes eat later in the evening, shortening my fast, but seldomly eat earlier like at 10:30 or 11. The liver is happy now, and I have dropped a bit more than a dress size.
I came to love black coffee and don't like the change of flavor milk makes anymore. I do appreciate a small strong cappuccino occasionally, though.
Dr. Li. There are so many diverging theories on diet out there that frankly it's confusing. Some say all meat with no plants, others advocate only plants and seeds. Yet another group say absolutely no dairy. The carnivore believers tell us we need a lot of fat from meat and butter. Sometimes I don't feel like eating at all. I got to 81 without any serious illness so I must be doing something right. The French use only butter for cooking and they seem quite healthy. Who knows. Anyway, thank you for this information.
A little of every thing is good a balanced diet
Yeah.
My wisdom: It's not so much of what you eat but how much.
Yes, very conflicting diet theories, been hearing that oatmeal contain lectins which tear holes in stomach lining, I dont know what's true anymore. And I have osteoporosis, which some say I should stay away from lectins🤷♀️
I only cook with pork lard from people in the montain (every Saturday butchering a pig) Never sick, grow my food, fermenting everything when I can. Baking sourdough bread if anyone wants bread. Drinking every morning fresh ginger, honey hot water....tea...Still 110 lbs and got 6 packs for a 48 years old female. Don't trust any cooking oils out there and what's going on with olive oils are a shame.
@@willyengland oh, I do wish you would elaborate! I'd love that bit of wisdom :)
There is now "science" to prove every type of diet. It's exhausting.
Do yourself a favor cut out sugar ,sugar substitutes and fried food. Bake or BBQ, don't eat burnt meats!😊 No wheat of any kind.
@@stanswarts1939 I have done these things. Questions remain around carbs in general, dairy, fasting, oxelates, fiber, gut flora...
@@tommynickels4570 you cant avoid oxalates completely, well you can if you go carnivore but thats a restrictive diet that most people avoid because they wanna have more variety, you avoid oxalates when they start causing you issues, i do great with 50g carbs and 20g sugar, over that amount i have health issues, so i do a low carb low keto diet, dairy is fine until it isnt, the only way to be sure is to do an elimination diet, do carnivore for 30 days, eat only meat salt and water, and add the food you wanna try and think you might have issue with, if you have issues is the food you added, meat never causes issues on its own unless you were bitten by a tick and you developed a rare "red meat" allergy, hope i helped.
edit: fasting helped me alot, i usually do a 2 day fastd 2 times a month, usually between weeks. i also eat 12 noon and then again around 5 or 6 and nothing the rest of the day, dr ekberg is your best bet to solve most if not all your issues, he helped me alot, check his youtube channel.
One other point, the American Heart Association didn’t just get their studies wrong about eggs because they didn’t understand that there were other food items that could cause high cholesterol. They got it wrong because they were in bed with the sugar industry, trying to promote replacing cholesterol with sugary items. Even a child could figure out that unless you isolate a particular food item you can’t necessarily blame it for everything. They’re not that dumb. They made the studies in order to make the findings that they wanted. No wonder nobody trusts science now. They’ve totally confused the issues because of junk science and greed.
It's absolutely exhausting and overwhelming, isn't it?
I watched another podcast from this author, and he has a way of eating he calls "Mediterasian", it is a mixture of Mediterranean, and Asian style foods, he says it is because they are both from cultures with longevity records. He is certainly right about the Asians, especially the Hong Kong Asians who have the best life expectancy, and second is Japanese. The Hong Kong residents also have the highest consumption of meat. There is food for thought.
Thank you, I knew a lot of your information but you broke it down even better. I rarely eat bacon anymore (maybe a slice once every four months) but because I’m now 74 years old, ( of course any age, bacon is bad for you) I just don’t eat it at all , knowing the damage it’s doing to my body. I do work out every morning five/six days a week along one half hour of stretching. Thank you Doctor your information is extremely helpful 🙏
Dr. Lee, I love your videos. I learn so much.
Fascinating!!! My personal experience - About 3 years ago, within 30 days I suddenly developed crippling pain in my toes (and toe nails), plantar, heels, ankles and knees. The weight of a bed sheet was too much for my toe nails and agonizing pain would wake me during the night. The pain spread to my fingers, hands, wrists and elbows. The doctor ordered Xrays that showed each joint was inflammed, displaying "osteo arthritis" as the cause. I was referred to a Rheumatologist specialist who reviewed my Xrays and told me there was nothing that could be done but to prescribe pain meds for the agony of walking or the loss of sensation in my fingers/hands/thumb, etc. - My D.O. suggested that I was suffering from inflammation and might want to try a radical dietary change to solve it. She said I needed to stop eating meat, dairy, cheese, processed foods, salt, etc. and go to a plant-based diet to solve my inflammation troubles. It was a big move for someone accustomed to eating fast food, restaurant meals and lots of meat! With no other choice, I decided to try it! - Within 30 days, all my symptoms went away!
I went to the 2024 eclipse totality path in Sulphur Springs, TX. There I met a waitress in her 30's who had her large intestine "explode" and also rupture her gall bladder. She was lucky to meet a Doctor, suggesting that she only eat meat and veggies from her family farm, where no animal injections (hormones, etc.) were given to the animals or vegetables. All her symptoms went away. - On the way home 2 days later, I met a 19 year old waitress in Vicksburg, MS (I can eat fish without bad symptoms!) who told me she suffered a sudden rupture of her gall bladder a year ago! Her doctor recommended that she only eat the meat and vegetables from her family farm, where toxins and growth hormones are not used.
How many of us Americans are being poisoned by the meat and food processing industry that pushes all these artificial growth hormones, chemicals and drugs on beef/pork/fowl and are used in processed foods?
Stop eating Oats & Wheat, regardless of their packaging & labels. Wheat & Oat products cause arthritis & generate sulfuric acid. They also contain lots of anti-nutrients & lectins that are highly damaging to the linings in the gut - a big source of chronic inflammation, chronic joint pain/arthritis, chronic fatigue, obesity, & heart disease.
Your assessment is spot on.
@@deepattison9329 Everyone is being poisoned
I have a low sugar granola sprinkled with tree nuts, and berries with a little almond milk. For a special treat, I have a keto waffle with pastured raised, boiled egg and butter. I am 86 and have a 72 year old boyfriend!😂😊
OOH YOU OLD TART LOL
Lucky you enjoy life
Good for you girl. I can relate.
No such thing as low sugar granola. It may be lower than other granola but that is not low.
Husband ir boyfriend???😢
Great tutorial!!! Many thanks.
Dr. Li,
Your programs are amazing ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Dr. Li, thanks for all the medical information.
You want LOTS of animal fat! And clean MCT oil/caprylic 8 or 10 oil gives the ketones needed to burn fat. I started taking a tablespoon at night before sleep and belly fat FINALLY started melting. We also cook with it, as well as Kerry Gold butter and pure 100% olive oil from Greece.
We get our meat from a farmer who pasture-raises the animals and they’re grass-fed. This makes them high in Omega 3, Vitamins A,B,D,E,K. Vitamin K is critical for heart health.
The farmer shares his story on his website and he has shared with me in person what he eats on a daily basis.
Beef, pork, bacon, hard cheeses, drinks heavy whipping cream, and a few berries sometimes. He eats an equal amount of pasture-raised grass-fed butter with every bite of meat. He eats several truly free roaming chicken eggs every day. We get eggs from him. They’re a beautiful orange color of truly natural eggs. He’s been eating like this for 4 years.
Before he started eating like that☝🏼, he was diabetic, his triglycerides were off the chart, his blood pressure was high. He felt tired and was in pain all the time. He has lost 100+ pounds and all his numbers are in the low to mid-optimal range.
We started eating like this around 5 weeks ago. We’ve lost weight, body pain has vanished, we have more energy and strength. Our skin has cleared and looks beautiful. We’re in our 60’s. We thought we were done before learning about the carnivore lifestyle, the need for lots of animal fats, and the toxicity in plant foods and seed oils.
Fat is critical, not just for the body but also for the brain. There are lots of doctors doing vids about healing dementia with butter. Harvard doctors are explaining how lots of the right fats heal dementia and relieve anxiety. Kerry Gold butter is the only pasture-raised grass-fed butter we’ve been able to find in grocery stores. I’m on the hunt for a local farmer that offers it. I watched a vid yesterday where the doctor said to have a day of eating just lots of butter.
We also top eggs with some organic FULL FAT Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt, olive oil and MCT oil help with the constipation issue that can happen with eating carnivore.
One of our neighbor friends went carnivore 7 weeks before we started. She had already lost 16 pounds and her numbers were perfect.
We make Dr Berg’s fat bombs…delish. And there are carnivore ice cream recipes. The easiest is egg yolks and heavy whipping cream. Also delish!
We also eat OMAD…one meal a day. If we eat before noon, we might have a snack of meat and cheese roll-ups or a fat bomb around 5’ish. We’re getting much better sleep now, too.
I love learning in the past couple of days that coffee grows telomeres. So we have our morning coffee with heavy whipping cream and a little monkfruit which doesn’t raise blood sugar.👍🏼
Thank you for this in-depth information. Many of us can not justify those excellent benefits with the killing of our fellow animals though. 🙏❤️🪷🕉📿
Ive heard that science we need a certain amount of certain fats to get rid of the bad fats Also you are so right about 'clean' fat I dont know how to say scientifically but as the fat heats and turns into a burnt fat it is so bad for us
Ultimate food: 1/2 oats, 1/4 wholemeal flour, 1/4 all purpose flour, water. Mix, add water to make a pancake mix as thick as double cream. Leave overnight and eat 2/3 next day. Cook like pancakes. Keep 1/3 as a 'sourdough' starter in a mason jar. After 3 days it will ferment. Top the oatcakes with cheese and grill for 5 minutes, brown + red sauce. Roll up ~ Staffordshire Oatcakes.
Why would you carb load with all that gluten in the morning? Do you have a really physical job? I do not and all those carbs are unneeded and would put me to sleep an hour after I got to work!!!
Massive carbs 😳
@@fmucpcb66carbs are great for metabolic health.
Great video, just wanted to mention that butter is actually quite healthy for you and prevents breast cancer. Having a little in cooking your scrambled eggs is fine.
An absolutely brilliant video, thank you Dr Li 😃
Dr Berg taught me about intermittent fasting . It does work.❤Thankyou for your info, too❤
Tutta la vita breakfast con caffè espresso e croissant ❤ Ciao Dr.Lee❤ Sei il migliore
I've watched a number of videos on health and food. This one was primo the best.... Very clear concise and so informative. Thanks Dr Li
No mention of oat groats? Least processed. Does require forethought since requires 40-60 mins to prepare. But yummy & oh so good for you!
Scrambled eggs made with ghee, black pepper, turmeric, and ginger powder with a bit of thyme or oregano.
My father put all of his faith in Dr. James McDougall. Even spent his precious retirement days illustrating one of his books. They're both dead. I'm backing you--let's see if I can break 70.💪🏽
Dr. John McDougall 1. What did your dad die from please? McDougall had the shot and no autopsy so I am rethinking much of what he taught. I would like to add he was a dedicated doctor with the best interests of his patients. I think he was correct for adult weight loss but that slender elderly and children, perhaps everyone could benefit from eggs and a little butter and milk or cheese. The shot complicates things because some batches had high complication rates.
@@andreafong9952 Someone gave my father a McDougall Diet Plan book after having a heart attack, and he soon became a McDougall disciple. But my father also had hypertension most of his life and eventually he died from a stroke. (This was a year or so before Covid.) Sometimes I have the feeling following dietary advise is like walking through a mine field. One guy on Insta is telling me broccoli is unhealthy. Another woman is saying don't eat grapes. My moisturizer is supposedly killing me. Sprinkle turmeric on everything!...I found out I run the risk of macular degeneration, so should I start eating eggs? Ultimately you just have to go with your own instincts. I know very little about Dr. McDougall's death but it makes sense the family would want to keep the circumstances private, especially if people are still buying his books.
Yep. Wrong info McDougall was giving out.
This is an amazing example of how to turn 5 minutes of information into over an hour of video. GREAT JOB, you're a master of video-filller talking.
He’s explaining the hows and whys behind his advice…
Thank you Dr. Li, for this very comprehensive, informative video. It is very much appreciated.👍🧠🫀🫁🦴👀
