I mean it's pretty easy to go around and film a bunch of fat fuks and say "everyones a big fat slob". But this is quite honestly personal choice. If you have access to soda and fast food, you have access to fresh produce and good nutrients. No fukn excuse besides the consumer. Next.
FDA has been lying to us for a long time. They've allowed excitotoxins to be added to our food supply, considering it generally safe, when in fact it isn't. The Asian excitotoxin known as MSG (monosodium glutamate - C₅H₈NO₄Na) builds up in the body causing GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and eventually causes thyroid cancer. Once the thyroid is compromised, metabolism becomes uncontrollable, hormone levels become unbalanced, and obesity ensues.
Well at least in the United Kingdom it is easy to eat very healthy if you so choose. I moved to the English countryside from the US some years ago now, and literally could not believe how many farm shops, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries, dairy farms etc there were within just a 15-20 minute radius of my small village! All extremely fresh and well priced. You definitely do not have to rely on supermarkets/ big stores here (which reminds me, even your supermarket food is 10x more natural and better tasting that the stuff we get in the US; much of which is filled with additives, pesticides and growth hormones)... Also, as someone that loves dairy, one of the things I love the most that you guys have over here are these “raw milk vending machines”. For just £1 you can fill yourself up a pint of fresh unpasteurized cows milk! Best tasting milk I’ve had, and you can then just take your bottle back again the next time to refill. In many states across America raw milk is actually illegal, and even in states where it’s legal, it’s sadly very hard to find. Basically what I’m trying to say, is that if a grown man/ woman chooses to live entirely on unhealthy processed food; that is their own fault. Because it is very easy (and in fact cheaper by comparison) to eat healthy in the United Kingdom.
@@tamaracarter1836 Well if tamara can do it in her posh village then why cant the whole country. How about people who have found themselves living in poverty? Pull your head out of your backside. Jesus
@@dt937 I mentioned where I live to make a point that no matter where you reside: village, town or city you have plenty of options for fresh healthy food. If people are living in poverty, then there are plenty of very affordable options from the supermarket. I mean frozen vegetables are better than nothing, and if they can afford fast food/ high processed sugar foods then they can certainly afford a few vegetables! Eating unhealthily is actually more expensive than eating healthy - this has been proved time and time again. If someone is homeless then of course it is completely understandable, but otherwise there are few exceptions. Sorry.
As a pharmacist I’m amazed that so many of the patients I talk to don’t even know type 2 diabetes is reversible. We have medical standards and guidelines that mandate people are prescribed several classes of drugs for metabolic syndrome-related diseases, but nothing requiring actual education about the illness itself. These drugs are nothing more than a tourniquet on a severed limb and are not meant as a long term solution!
The doctor doesn't always tell the patient about anything but the medication approach. My husband and I have a rare good doctor that promoted a change in my husband's diet combined with the lowest dose of medication available for his high blood sugar. The doctor wants him off the medication within a year. His former doctor never once mentioned his diet or any form of exercise. He just prescribed medication and sent him on his way.
@@loveydovey4u That’s true, even though my PCP tried to convince me otherwise, I did some research and I got my diet and blood pressure together and I stopped the “medication” myself 7 years ago.
Correct! I have a Brother whom i obviously care about. He is in his 50ties. Still eats like a Pig, no exercise or very little of it. He has diabetes. His foot is already showing signs of this with discolouration. Several times I tried to steer him in the right direction in adopting a whole plant base diet and more exercise. It all just goes right over the top of his head. I am 10 years older and in much better health than he is because of my life style changes in diet. As they say. You can lead one to the water but you can"t make them drink it. So? They rather die early or live a miserable life of ongoing illness that never needed to be in the first place.
I was pre diabetic and had insulin resistance but I turned things around by completely changing my diet and exercise and now at 39 years old I’m completely normal. I am very healthy and happy now.
My wife is an RN who was working with post-operative heart patients and part of what she did was educating them on exercise, nutrition etc. She said the average age was around 50 years old. She told me that at least 60% of them ate fast food on a daily basis and acted as if they had no idea that this was not a healthy way to live.
I watched the film of my parent's wedding from 1956. In a crowd of about 50 people, I only saw one person who was overweight (but not obese). I was so amazed. I recently quit processed food (especially ultra-processed), my back pain has completely disappeared, and I've lost 15 pounds. I didn't realize how bloated I was, I can bend over much easier now. And NO cravings (I'm eating high fat low carb, NO processed food whenever possible).
I recently watched a video of my friend's bar mitzvah 37 years ago. Same. A few stray overweight people. But those people would be the norm today, not the exceptions. Kind of puts a dent in the "It's a 100% personal responsibility" crowd's argument.
Too many people profit from sickness in our culture. Slowly the corporation have taken over and eliminated checks and balances. Same applies to oil cartels. We have already created free energy technology.
My mom watches Laurel & Hardy every night and Hardy was considered extremely fat back then. He'd be on the thin side compared to many people nowadays 😳
Okay but how many of them smoked a pack of cigarettes a day? Addiction is part of the human condition and we will always destroy our physical bodies in exchange for pleasures of the moment. Hedonism is a powerful temptation.
Glad someone speaks sense, also all grains. We're meant to eat meat and organs, carbs like potato were good for us when humans were so physically active. But we've got it too easy these days.
I also think the problem is trying to normalize being overweight. Although is important to not bully but people get upset when you tell them they’re overweight. I work with Army Cadets and I let them know they are close to not being within weight range and they got upset 🤷🏽♀️
@@paumuk6376 Totally agree. Doctors suggesting weight loss or that illness is caused/exacerbated by their weight is considered fat shaming and immoral. I am sure there are fat-phobic doctors, but I would be willing to bet that most doctors are trying to improve the health of their patients and considering the downstream effects of obesity. The numbers and science are objective, but talking about weight and health has become a sensitive subject, unfortunately.
This is powerful stuff.. I think it should be required to show this video to middle schoolers across the country.. and adults at their jobs as part of insurance wellness programs.
@@rodriguezmanuel9192 you're right.. most will ignore, but I know it will at least get some % of the population on the right path. The rest of them lack the intelligence and will power to change.

In school we watched documentaries like this. I think educating the children on basic skills like cooking sewing gardening anything that allows for self sufficiency is more important than telling them how bad something is. It’s like when they were telling us just say no to drugs…without teaching a person how to have a disciplined mind and how to overcome temptation.
I just started working at my local grocery store. Seeing what junk people buy is mind blowing. Some people will spend over $200 in groceries and everything is processed. Not one fresh fruit or vegetables. It’s sad…
@@mrike5651 it’s really sad because the parents are obese and the kids either are obese or on their way. Don’t even get me started about those on food stamps …. 🤦🏿 .
We were in line behind a woman who bought a large cake. The cashier said "oh are you having a party?" and the woman buying the cake was soooo angry, because no, she wasn't having a party, she was just buying a very large cake.
Focus on your own food choices in your cart. What people do with their bodies is none of your business. The judgement is what keeps people trapped in negative cycles.
@@NatblidaAscende I think that's why everyone is obese because no one is honest with people to wants to help them I help people with healthier choices all the time and it's not a rude thing to do, if I see anyone confused what to get I'll tell them the healthier option how is that a bad thing
As a general rule avoid the center of a grocery store. Not things like flour and tea, but anything processed. Most of the frozen stuff is junk too. If you're old enough you remember what grocery stores used to look like, pretend they still look that way and buy just those things. The stores have gotten bigger but it isn't because they have larger produce and meat sections, it's because there are more center aisles full of processed garbage.
Almost 20 years ago, I went into public school as a new middle school teacher. My own kids were in kindergarten and second grade. When I saw how fat and unhealthy my students were, how much processed garbage and sugar the school was providing, I decided to not return the next year. I also took my kids out. I wanted them to eat real food. We went all the way through high school. My kids are now college grads, married, and both are very fit and healthy and can cook. They love to eat food. Real food.
Yes !!! Am so amazed how kids are so overweight!!! From kindergarten to middle school,,, We moved from Mexico a few years ago ,, we live close to the beach ,, and parks ,, we always walk everywhere,, all the time ,, my boys enjoy been at the beach every weekend!!! We rarely watch tv,, we rather be at the park ,, the beach ,, or just walking!!!! We came to Iowa ,, I was in shock seen so many kids overweight,,, so many people bearly walking always in a wheelchair or scooter at the stores !!!! There shopping carts whit so many sodas ,, and junk food !!! They need to do something!!! Parents don’t care about there kids health,,,
I'm a great grandmother and I recently picked up my grandson from school early during recess. There were certainly a couple of chubby kids when I was going to gammer and primary public school, I was one of them. However, the sea of severely obese kids I saw on the playground the day I picked up my grandson was stunning. Nearly all were overweight to some degree. But about half were genuinely severely obese. This prompted me to look at my old year books. It was night and day. Not only this, but when I was a child, recess saw most kids running, playing, climbing. The day I watched recess recently, very few kids were doing anything. Those that did, most were uncoordinated, stumbling around. This is bad.....
this definitely needs to be brought to everyones attention I think most people don't realize it or id they do can't afford to eat better. the Dollar General stores have replaced most of the average grocery stores and they just sell pure poison cheap.
I saw a child about 4 walking through the shops today, only the child was sitting like a pudding on some sort of seat on wheels while the mum pushed. She could have a health problem but it was still a worry. We walked everywhere with our mum once we were out of push chairs
Most people also don't know that ALCOHOL IS SUGAR. Yet another reason why alcoholics have so many health issues - equal to those of regular sugar diabetics. I see 8 months have passed since the making of this video. It would be nice if ENDEVR followed up on Simon's progress in changing his diet and how positively this has affected his present health situation.
Ah, alcohol is not a sugar in the same way. For example, whiskey does not cause insulin to rise. Why you may ask? Because the body sees it as a poison, it is not digestible. Therefore it does not make you fat. I became metabolically healthy and lost 25 lbs of fat, never gave up drinking, I did moderate it for sure….you must take days and multiple days off, or only drink 1-2 per day. My own use is 10-20 per week.
@@kstorm889 Thank you for telling me the truth of this matter. Why alcohol is promoted as being a sugar is beyond me. I will delete my erroneous comment.
@MEHER I don't know about channels but there are more documenteries like this one. My daughter and I going plant based and we have watched, "What the Health" and "Forks Over Knives". It has had a profound affect on us and she isn't in high scool yet.
I was the weird kid in school because my mom packed me a lunch of a whole wheat bread sandwich with some whole grain crackers and a piece of fruit, maybe some homemade cookies. My friends all had Lunchables, gushers, fruit by the foot, etc. (I’m 34). I was always the thinnest person in my classes, won all the obstacle courses and relay races, had tons of energy, got straight As. At the time, I was bummed that I didn’t get to eat all the popular 90s processed “foods” but, as an adult, I rarely crave sugar/sweets/junk food. I’m so grateful to my mom for raising me on good food. I was a middle school teacher in my 20s and always paid attention to what my kids brought for lunch; I noticed the same trend I’d seen in the 90s. The kids who brought a homemade sandwich with carrots and fresh fruit were my top earners, all in good shape, had excellent concentration. I feel for the kids who don’t have parents willing or able to provide them with a nutritious lunch every day. It really has a lasting impact.
Consider that many parents on a budget don't have a choice because they simply cannot afford anything but ultra-processed foods. Obesity rates track very closely with poverty levels. On top of that, many fruit and veggies today are less nutritious that 40 years ago (tomatoes for example have lost a whopping 50% of their nutrients). GMO Veggies and fruit grows larger today but nutrient density is reduced as a consequence. People don't seem to realize just how much of a con the food industry has pulled, you are getting absolute trash for your money and if you want something that isn't absolutely riddled with chemicals or artificial junk you have to pay 3-5 times the cost.
I am a health coach and the level of sugar addiction is terrifying. People have a really hard time making changes and often experience setbacks. Some give up completely bc they cannot imagine a life without excess sugar. It’s so sad we were all raised to think this is normal. It’s an uphill battle but not impossible!
It absolutely takes discipline. The lack of discipline is the real reason docs are so quick to go to the prescription pad. I used to fault them. Not anymore. We have discipline for our jobs, what shows we stream etc etc. Everything except diet discipline. You have to really want to change as a person.
Dr. Thornley, you perfectly described my own sugar addiction. Its real, and a daily struggle and temptation. Discovering and acknowledging that I'm an addict, no different than a alcoholic, helps to deal with it. I lost and kept off 75+ lbs by living a ketogenic lifestyle for the last 4 years. Cheers from Northern California.
good on ya! recovered sugar addict here near Yosemite 🖐🏻🌲...eating near carnivore, experiencing food freedom. I hope you are continuing with your carb-sober lifestyle. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
When my grandmother was "trimming" (she wanted to lose a few pounds) she would not eat anything WHITE. No, sugar, no breads, no rice, potatoes, pasta, cakes, flour. She went on & ate her bacon, eggs, meats, & veg. It always worked. That was 50 yrs ago. There's something to be said about the wisdom of our elders. Even without scientists & "studies" they just KNEW stuff.
I wonder if she knew to go low carb from having heard about the Banting diet? It was formulated in the 1860s, and was popular for "reducing" or "trimming" for many years until Ancel Keyes showed up. Then Atkins came along and basically revived the Banting diet, with a few changes.
@@itzakpoelzig330 that's interesting. I don't know. She was an immigrant & not formally educated past about 5th grade but you know how ladies share dieting tips. She may have learned what you speak of from a friend. Thanks for that insight! Must go read about that now..😄
When I was in high school 1970's, our cooking teacher taught us low carb for miss "fatten easy". Her own daughter was a super model who only ate a small steak & salad twice a day.
@@cincin4515 I remember watching some movie from the 70s where a family was sitting down at the dinner table, and one of the kids fed a bread roll to one of the family's hunting hounds under the table. The dad admonished the kid, saying "don't feed them bread, it'll make them fat and lazy." Also, any farmer knows, when it comes time to fatten an animal, what do you feed them? Grains, of course. I mean, we BEEN knowing.
Yah that's your elders. My elders ate home-made tortillas/ Roti, lentil soup/ daal, veggies curries, fruits, nuts, and meat occasionally and never grew fat.
I lost 40-50lbs in about 4 months w/ Keto & IF. Its how I eat. I was formerly obese and prediabetic. You have to cut sugar (and hidden sugars), vegetable seed oils and refined grains. The weight will come off automatically. I am 60 and can easily now out perform myself when I was 30. Additionally, I have corrected about 42 issues connected with poor health
I second this comment. I lost 100 lbs and have been able to keep it off for 2 years using this method. Currently 34, 6'0 205 and single digit bodyfat. I'm not strictly keto anymore but eat low carb whole foods. Keep up the great work friend!
I'm the same, I cut out bread, sugar and alcohol. As soon as I started doing this, the weight came off really quickly and I lost around 40kg. I think for most people including myself, being obese is not the bodies natural state and it's gets this way because of processed food and the hi carb, low fat diet we've been told to eat for the last 50 years. Once the diets corrected with plenty of healthy fats and whole foods, the body reverts to it's natural state, which was certainly the case for me.
The food industry has set things up this way "profit over people." Is anyone surprised? Greed will always win out over concern for the populous and smaller communities. That is why videos like this and so many others are necessary in order to "re-educate" yourself regarding what is best for your long term survival.
A friend of mine who is into conspiracy theories told me that fast food places must put drugs in the food to get us hooked and come back for more, turns out he was not completely wrong, as fat and sugar can have the same effects on the brain as drugs.
Msg is helpful when added to healthy foods. Brocolli etc. How msg works is make things seem to taste better and make you eat more than you originally went for. It has helped me eat stuff I hated as a child and I have dropped weight. Put it in chips and fried chicken etc? You see where I am going.
Your friend is absolutely correct the food companies goal is to make money therefore they need customers to want, buy , enjoy and be repeat customers for their products, therefore they have food scientists who’s job is to make it tastes as good as possible by making it taste as good as possible they are stimulating our pleasure center or dopamine which makes us crave pleasure one of those things that stimulate dopamine is sugar it’s in almost every processed food in excess amounts combine that with other omega 6 oils , preservatives, dyes etc plus a more sedentary lifestyle and the frequency of eating these foods no wonder we have a health crisis. And about sugar its very addictive it’s just as or more addictive than cocaine it stimulates dopamine the same way the only difference is that even though they both come from plants one is legal and one is not .
Fat is not bad it's the seed oils and too polyunsaturated fats that are bad. Saturated and monounsaturated are essential and a little bit of polyunsaturated is okay but not from ultra refined seed oils.
It's amazing how normal obesity looks now. He doesn't look that big. Most obese people don't really look that big. I've lost 70lbs, I was morbidly obese on the scale. I am only 5lbs under from "obese" now and I'm going to lose another 20 to 30lbs. So I am currently on the upper end of overweight and everyone is telling me i've lost enough and not to lose any more! My goal weight will be on the upper end of normal. it's bonkers lol
His BMI to be fair was JUST over the obese mark... so it isnt that shocking he looks closer to just overweight. Obesity is usually well above 32 for most Americans, easily. Also grats on the weighloss!!
I think our perceptions have changed over the past 20 years. I was watching friends and when Monica was “fat” I thought “she just looks normal” then I realised how skewed my views have become
I eliminated sugars, carbs and processed foods and took off 50 pounds and have maintained for 5 years now. I follow keto/carnivore diet. At 71, no meds and no chronic health issues.
I also want to see a follow up with this man. I wish him the best. He’s got a cute kid and he’s taking the steps to get healthier. No doubt- processed foods are killing us and its a FEATURE, not a bug. Big food and Big Pharma (at least here in the U.S.) have strong lobbies, and once the food makes us sick, we get hooked on the pharma…
💯 who profits from this? If this interests you- check out fed up (I found on prime) it covers at least in US how corporations are allowed via “sponsorship” “donations “ etc. to advertise/sell their junk in schools 🤦🏻♀️ and yes how far their influence goes and how specifically. It’s no wonder the average person doesn’t have a clue. Let’s keep this conversation going folks✌🏽
Big food, Big pharma and Big health insurance certainly seem to be scratching each other's backs when it comes to profits earned at the expense of human health.
@@othersbyuri Yes: Cui bono? (Who profits?) Every child should be taught to ask this about everything people are trying to sell him or her: "sell" both literally and figuratively. Ultra-processed food. Kitchen gadgets. New cars. Miracle supplements. Miracle anything. Religious dogma. Simplistic solutions to social problems. I find that asking this question usually brings the quick answer "Not me." Prevents a lot of mistakes, financial and otherwise. Also, being smart is fun.
I was 425lbs im now down to 240lbs and still going! ive lost 185lbs which still amazes me now lol but to know sometime this year I will have lost 200lbs!!!! i'm also 6'4" so looking alot better with my size now. I was Pre Diabetic aswell but thats totally gone now! Asthma has nearly all gone and my skin conditions have all cleared up.
425 pounds? I mean that's the weight of avg strongman(though that portion is muscles) who need that mass to power various strength feats. It's nowhere good for a normal human being
@@GhostRiley-zs8zb yeah 425lbs was big! Funny how you only focused on the negative lol..! I’m now 209lbs from last time I posted on this! And of course still 6’4” I look very different.
Hats of to him for turning his life around and getting rid of his diabetes. Our whole family has recently dropped processed, sugary foods and unhealthy snacks and we are being more active. Whats spurs me on is not wanting to give the big corp food companies my money anymore. Like smoking, you are paying them to kill you, slowly enough that they can make money of your unhealthy lifestyle and then turn you over to their mates in big pharma when they give you meds till you drop! They can f themselves.
@@pixelaudrey reversal is possible , by only eating as we are meant to eat . Animal fats for cooking, complex carbs in fruits and veggies , mix of plant , lean / fatty animal protein
My parents fed me junk food my entire childhood. I'm grateful I went vegetarian. That was my personal journey to learning how important whole foods are. Not saying vegetarian is the only way or that all vegetarians do it right. That was just the jump I needed to get out of my family's tribe of unhealthy eating.
@@nomaticors Also you imply that animal bone is some how bad, it’s full of nutrients and it is quite healthy. Ever tried bone marrow or something like bone broth?
I am 66, and used to be morbidly obese in the opinions of two medical doctors. I also had a fatty liver condition and several other chronic health conditions that plagued me for decades. They were all related to the obesity. I began eating differently just over two years ago. I began an aggressive regiment of intermittent fasting by eating just one meal a day with no extra snacking at all during the day. I stopped eating all highly processed junk 'foods', avoided all forms of sugars and drastically decreased carbohydrate consumption. I began preparing my own daily meals using only real, locally produced, organic, non GMO and free range food ingredients. In just two months i lost about 60 pounds of excess fluids and body fat without any increase in physical activity. And soon after that, all those other chronic health conditions were reversed. No more fatty liver condition, no more occasional hypertension, the edema, (swelling in the feet and lower legs) was gone, the peripheral neuropathy, (pain in feet) went away and even the symptoms of COPD subsided - no more chronic cough, no more wheezing and no more shortness of breath. And i am still a modest smoker. Imagine that. I have keep this up for just over two years now, 'cheating' occasionally. But i am in full control of my weight and metabolic health at this point. If i ever want to shed a few pounds, i know exactly what to do. I have also increased my exercise and physical activities. I am stronger and more healthy than i was ten years ago. Even my bones and teeth are stronger, testosterone levels have improved and other things i may not be thinking of at the moment. I owe a lot of my success to a few good doctors and others who post excellent content on TH-cam. Two of my favorites are Holistic Doctor Sten Ekberg and Dr. Eric Berg. They, and several others like them have provided advice on TH-cam that have helped millions of people worldwide just like me. If you are overweight or suffer with type 2 diabetes, check them out. They just may save your life. They have added years to mine. I am certain of that.
I would love to see his progress in the 3 months. I was diagnosed with pre T2 5'10" 275# in 2020. I made a choice and now I am without medication, no longer pre T2 and am 195#. It can be done and I'm excited to see others do it as well!
I too was Pre T2 A1c 6.0 got my health back by eliminating seed oils and processed foods my A1c dropped to 5.4 last checked and I’ve dropped 65+ pounds my Blood pressure back to a normal range for a 60 year old This was all done by a willingness to take my Health seriously and deep dived into the reasons I was becoming chronically ill
I had to tell a client one time they were 61% fat and I had to cry first and come back. That client was very angry at me and question all health providers, when they were standing in front of me looking how they did. Self responsibility is the only answer. Very sad.
@Keira Kiedis yes it is. Their 1 minute run the gauntlet emotion almost had me walking away from my profession. Angry (pushing it at me, but knowing it’s not my fault, I was just the outlet), blame (government/job/circumstance), defeat, breakdown, and walk out. I called later as a follow-up, as it was a Dr. Only case in my opinion, and I wanted them to know there was help. Through all of our conversations, many, zero responsibility, zero. And in the end, it was all about personal responsibility. Sad case.
That client should actually have been questioning food manufacturers. And they are a victim of food manufacturing and marketing. Yes there's personal responsibility. But the fact is the chips are stacked heavily, against anyone who eats processed foods, being healthy in the long run.
@@therealdeal3672 until we leave “victim mentality” and take “some responsibility”, no change. For so many reasons I can’t even count. You must understand, I am not discussing complex, compound medical conditions. Just responsibility.
@@truenorthwestacademy007 as a doctor, are you promoting the same old nutrition advice as the ADA? Because that is a recipe for disaster and that's how that patient ended up looking that way. Do the research and be a knowledgeable doctor. Next time recommend carnivore diet. That's what humans are evolved to eat. That's what would have saved the life of your patient. The proper human diet. Exclusively with none of that processed garbage and no seed oils. As long as you're not one of the doctors that thinks butter and animal fat is the problem. Because that would make you really wrong. And then you should leave your profession anyway.
I agree with this. When I was younger you could count the number of overweight kids at your school on one hand. I remember moving to a different state as a young adult and was shocked at the size of school aged kids, kids looking like adults, around the same weight as adults. Poor food choices and cutting out recess or making recess optional in schools only adds to the problem. I remember the food we were fed in schools back in the day. Lunch was fairly healthy and there were NO vending machines selling junk food at all.
I started eating low carb 1 year ago. Since then I've been looking a overweight people and noticing where they are carrying the fat. There are so many obese children under 10 it is very sad think about how this is going to affect them down the track.
@@judymiller5154 we ate cherries, apples, pears out of trees in big amounts, but what is the worst is juices. You can drink 1L juice, but will not be able to eat so many fruits needed for that 1L.
This is a wonderful documentary! Unbelievable how skewed data changed the food landscape/narrative and demonized saturated fats and fats in general, and made way for so much carbs and sugar in our diet. People don’t realize high cholesterol is actually influenced so much by carbs.
I have had non alcoholic fatty liver since I was 10 and I've always been on the lower end of normal weight. My parents always fed me sweets and sugars when I was young. I wonder how far this reaches and what other things are going to happen to society
I had binging issues on sweets and junk food when I was little. I suffered a lot of stomach issues when I was young and my parents had no idea why. My family immigrated from Vietnam so they didn't know better. They got me American processed foods to eat. My mom likes the American sweet junk foods too. She is the most sickly out of the entire family. She had everything, heart disease, diabetes and battled lymphoma cancer at one point. None of this happened to anyone in her family in Vietnam. She's also recently diagnosed with early stage dementia last year. I now watch her slowly lose her memory and she's reverting back to childlike ways. She's only 68... Barely passed retirement age. As for myself, I quit most added sugars 10 years ago and a year ago I stopped eating most processed stuff. I feel much healthier than when I was younger
I got NAFLD at 16 and was a normal weight too(although at the higher end of the range bmi of 24) my doctors were pretty were pretty surprised and theorised it might be because I'm indigenous Brazilian and we (and other native americans) have obesity related diseases much quicker and at lower weights than other ethnicities. My NAFLD went away after I lost weight and lowered my sugar intake.
I got rid of my 26 years diabetes and lost 50 lbs since last year. It’s possible but it’s not easy. That’s why many people , my dad included, chose to take meds and nothing else and died blind and amputated. The key for me was quitting all carbs and sugar cold turkey. I did and do lots of other stuff as well like intermittent fasting and daily exercise but cutting the carbs was the thing which bring my A1C from 9 to 5.8 even after stopping all meds and insulins. Good luck too you.

I became type 2 diabetic. I took it serious and completely changed my life. Been doing keto for two years. I list 100lbs in a year and have maintained it off. I was off all medication after 6 months of the life change. No metformin or nothing. Living free is amazing.
I grew up eating my mother’s home cooking (cheaper than eating outside food). Also fast food didn’t get into my country until the year we moved to US. I moved out to be independent at 19. As a full time student with 3 or jobs I ate whatever quick and available (one job had always been waiting tables). I am very thankful I have no fast food craving. It was always the last option. In my 40/50s I chose to make my own breakfast and lunch at home to bring to work. It saved me a lot of $ and time not eating out. However I wasn’t satisfied because it’s the same food 5 days a week. I have been retired 2 years and care for my mother, I discover the joy of eating. I make our 2 meals from scratch daily using up one week’s grocery (good quality grocery). I try different recipes often. I change things up. Meal time becomes what I look for and I enjoy every bite. Eating happily is such a pleasure that I had not known for decades. Oh yes I have also been recreationally active since 40, running marathon and mountaineering. Since retiring I got into daily swimming and contemplating triathlon.
This is what I have learned about food in my lifetime: - Most Americans eat fast food for pleasure, not for nutrition. It's also very convenient to pick up your food at a drive-thro instead of cooking a nutritional meal - Unfortunately, most parents are quite content to have their children eat fast foods and drink sugar-laden soda, even from a very young age. It's so easy and convenient! - The Fast Food industry in America is pure evil. They have enabled the industrialization of meat, which creates over-processed hormone-laden and chemically-treated beef, pork and chicken. - Public Schools have capitulated to Fast Food and Soda Corporations by serving up their high carb, high sugar, devoid of nutrition foods to our children in cafeterias and thru vending machines - Fast Food commercials dupe Americans, especially children and teens and normalize eating for pleasure, not for health. In these commercials, they will never tell you how their meat is processed because if they did you would probably become a vegetarian! Sorry to tell you but those chicken nuggets that you love so much have been bleached in ammorita. - If you can train your palate and the palate of your child to enjoy an apple, a sweet carrot, a bowl of lentils, then a healthy strong body comes naturally. It's possible to eat for both pleasure and nutrition. To do so you have to train your taste buds to enjoy fruits, vegetables, healthier range-fed meats, wild caught fish, nuts and grains. - One final point: the cost of one fast food meal for a family of 4 is over $50. Imagine the healthy groceries you can buy instead with all the cost savings !!
Man, my kids never have fast food, mostly because it's so expensive compared to cooking at home. It's just not practical. Also, I'm American, fwiw I think, if you want your kids to eat healthy, you have to eat healthy yourself. My kids always want what's on my plate lol! And I give them cod liver oil nearly every day as a little boost of nutrition.
My adult kids and I are aware of the evils of sugar and processed food..my youngest son was fat as a teen..he lost a lot of weight..went in military..when he got out..he still keeps it off after more than a decade..my daughter rarely eats meat..as do i..I want to live a long life..and my kids want to be healthy. I'm glad they are paying attention.
I've been an avid swimmer all my life and ate a lot of sugar. I also ate far too many carbs, but never realized how much. In August of 2020 I ended up the emergency room with a blood sugar of 531mg/DL. Never have I been obese. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. The doctor probably said I got away with it for many years because I was a swimmer. I quit sugar, went on a low-carb diet. These days I hard ever measure above 150mg/DL and I lost a few more pounds.
Very simmilar story to mine. I'm a lean diabetic with an otherwise very active and healthy lifestyle, good sleep schedual, avoids junk food, etc. However, I was still eating a lot of bread, pasta, and oats, and I don't have the muscle to absorb the ammount of carbs I was eating. Its amazing how quickly low carb/ keto can undo insulin resistence. Within a week my blood sugars stabilize and I no longer get hyper/hypo glycemic. Im also just starting to lift heavy weights to gain muscle, which is proven to massively help IR and diabetes more than cardio (which I also do a fair bit of) in lean diabetics.
I know it’s the thing right now to demonise carbs. But I can tell you that when I was a kid and it was the same for most ordinary people, carbs were the mainstay of our diets. I was one of eight kids and my mum was a widow. We certainly weren’t eating lots of protein. Our meals were a little bit of meat and a whole lot of spuds and veg. That was how people ate in those days when meat was a lot more expensive than it is now. In fact I always wonder about the cheap meat and what has made it cheaper? It’s not because it’s full of the best of everything
Because sugar is not really what caused this insanely high obesity epidemic. It's one of the causes but it's absurd to blame sugar for this obesity crisis.
Enlightening information. I'm also a sugar addict and am reluctant to give up sugar in food but after watching this documentary know that it's better to eat healthy than end up with life threatening diseases. Thanks for sharing.
When I was a soldier, I'd eat about $30 of candy per week. This was more than a decade ago, so that's a lot more candy than $30 today! Trying to get rid of sugar was the WORST! It's much easier to get healthier if you only do baby steps. Instead of $30 per week, stick to $25 per week for a couple weeks, then $20, a d progress like that until you're between 0 and $5 per week. Just that makes a huge difference! Same applies with soda, and other bad foods. I'd also recommend looking up the author Mike Matthews, he's extremely knowledgeable and prefers that his clients take a small steps so that they're permanently changing their lives.
@@Heather-xm9ul lol wow I thought I enjoyed candy as a kid but... just wow. I never spent more than anfew dollars on it per week... and usually it was more like once a month I'd buy some candy. Thinking about that much sweet is actually a turn off to me. Thou ever since my thyroid has been treated I dont have many sweet cravings except maybe once a certain time of month hehe.
Kick sugar cravings and give keto a go for 3 months. I slowly transitioned to keto and it’s helped me stop craving sugar and carbs, stopped me from overeating, binge eating and I don’t continuously feel hungry
@@jesstopia6600 I'd love to, but when I tried it I had what I was told was keto flu (in reality, I think sugar cravings) for 28 days!! I have kids and a job, a week of that, ok I'll manage but I'm so addicted to sugar that I guess it takes me a long time to detox? I can't do 28 days plus, what do I do?
I want to thank the makers of this documentary! After watching I started right away with a diet that avoids any processed food! It was a huge eye opener. I can advice anyone: just do it. Not just eat less sugar or processed food (that’s not gonna work), but really change! It sounds extreme but it isn’t. The first 2 days are a bit strange, but you will start enjoying pure products more and more. Of course make sure you have a balanced and diverse diet. But all these processed products and all this sugar: your body really doesn’t need it! I feel way more healthy, better skin, etc…
Yeah, after a week of eating mostly whole foods and meats they actually start to taste alot better, cut out sugary drinks like soda and plain water tastes quite nice and refreshing.
"Diverse" is a falsehood. The most nutritionally dense foods are beef like ribeye and organ meat. Chicken eggs are also very nutritionally dense, fish, dairy etc... just the first two have all the necessary amino acids, proteins and vitamins and minerals. You might eat an orange or two for vitamin C and you're good to go. You don't need to eat a diverse diet to be healthy. Veggies aren't all that great for you, consume them in smaller portions but eat mostly animal products with smaller portions of plant foods
Exercise, lose weight, eat whole food, avoid extremes (fat, sugar), read labels. That is all my doctor told me before he retired. My next doctor "died unexpectedly" at age 33. Reality? I am the doctor. I have to take care of myself. If it is to be it is up to me. Good luck.
I’ve been improving my diet the last six years. Started with going sugar free. Then gluten free. Then grain free. Then processed meats free. Then I cut out deep fried foods. Lately, I’ve started cutting saturated fats and extra sodium, while adding more veg, beans and fruit. Making gradual changes over time has worked best for me and my partner.
Veggies, beans and fruits are full of carbs which are not good. They all make your insulin spike a lot which is our storage hormone. Try intermitent fasting and more carnivor style diet and you'll see how better you'll feel. No wonder big pharma wants us to eat high carb foods.
Dump the fruit and put the saturated fat back on the menu. Fruit contains fructose and will spike your insulin. Fat has NO effect on insulin. Fat is also satiating unlike sugar. This sounds like a lifestyle change not a diet...good on'ya!
I was having cold left over pizza for lunch as I watched this. I actually started to feel ill as I went though the video and finished my lunch. Near the end it was hard to finish. I am not fat anymore because I cut sugar last year. But it is so hard to get away from processed foods in our modern fast paced society.
It is hard but don’t be too hard on yourself. An occasional pizza or burger is okay. You’ve gotten on top of the sugar issue and that’s great. It’s so hard to cut back on sugar. So good job!
@@ENDEVRDocs Thanks. Sugar was the hardest for sure. Its in everything. Now I have to find a way to eat healthier overall. You may remember me talking about gout on your sugar film. My comment is on top.
I had an eating disorder in my teenage years where I would binge, and to compensate for the extra calories I would either purge or starve myself. I ended up getting help and consider myself recovered as of early 2017. But a huge part of my recovery, I feel, was returning fat to my diet. I almost always chose the low fat/fat free versions of foods when I was sick in order to save calories, but it would bite me in the butt by causing me to never feel full for long and to get cravings that would trigger binges. During recovery I noticed that when I would eat whole fat foods, I didn't need to eat as much of them as the low fat alternatives to feel full, and I wouldn't crave more food shortly after eating. I eat a fairly high fat, high protein diet these days, but eating this way helps me almost never binge.
@@user-rx7pd1xv4k yeah! I fell into an ED after my parents rly pushed me into it for years belittling me and my laziness. Turns out I just needed levothyroxine to lose 50lbs no diet nor exercise lol.
What are some of the high protein high fat foods do you eat? I’m looking into those foods because I too want to feel fuller longer. I eat way too often in a day
@@Memento_Mori_Morals I'm sorry you went through that, I can't imagine being pushed into that by my own parents. I'm glad that you found something to help you lose weight though! Hope you are doing well.
My wife and I each lost over 45 pounds on keto. Now we're doing carnivore. No more high blood pressure for my wife and this morning my blood glucose was lower than I can ever remember it being. Please listen to Dr. Sten Ekberg and KenDBerryMD and Shawn Baker
6 years ago, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic along with other issues associated with it. Instead of going on the suggested array of pharmaceuticals, I chose to go the holistic route. I went on a Carnivore (high protein) diet. I eliminated my sugar intake, and walk 2-3 miles per day. As a result, pre-diabetes gone, lower B/P, 230-165lbs. And over all and 68 years old, looking and feeling great😊.
I'm 71. My whole time growing up, my mother home cooked everything. She didn't buy canned foods. She always cooked fresh grown, we had a garden. No soda. No cookies (she made her own: we ground the nuts, she rolled it out and put in the filling. And we didn't have them every day, only certain holidays) So......NO diabetes in MY family, anywhere. My husband (79) has eaten junk all his life, to this day: pies, bagels, cookies, candy, you name it, if he wants it, he buys it, like a kid in a candy store. And his dad was diabetic, and ate whatever he wanted. My husband walked as a mailman for 26yrs, and he retired 16 yrs ago. He has NO diabetes at all. Not even a fatty liver. He's a stinking perfect specimen. ME? First my thyroid was attacked by my immune system and killed it, now on thyroid. Than the pancreas went and I'm diabetic. Insulin every day. And I don't buy or eat one processed food from the grocery store! Am I watching every bite that goes in my mouth?? You better believe it. If something is in a can or wrapped in a bag, I never touch it. I don't do McDonalds nor any other fast food. There's not one can of processed food on my shelf; and I never fed my kids junk either as they grew up. I do very much appreciate the information in the video, as I continue to inform myself of how to do even better with the foods I do eat. It's on-going to say the least. And YES......there IS sugar in every package that's sold in a grocery store. Be a label reader, make better choices, and of course..........put the fork down.........
I went Keto three months ago after a cancer scare. Havnt looked back as the weight just fell off me. It’s the grains. Get rid of them. Breakfast is gone. I’m no longer hungry. My arthritis is gone. I’m 54.
But also it depends on the person. My body’s preferred form of energy is carbs. I’ve learned that I preform best when I eat carbs. For others, that’s not the case. They don’t need carbs. What I *have* noticed though is sugar knocks my hunger cues out of whack. When I purposefully watch for sugar, I feel much, *much* better.
@@月光-z6q Im the same with sugar...just one teaspoon of sugar/honey/jam or a taste of something sweet or, for me, carbs (even a piece of wholegrain bread) and my hunger cues just sky-rocket. It is astounding!
I was a nurse in the 1980"s. Although trained how to give insulin and test a patients blood sugar level, I NEVER had to give insulin. Patients on low sugar diets, yes. But insulin never. WOW! Astounding.
This obesity epidemic is only beginning . Governments of Countries awash with fastfood and processed "healthy" food are in denial of the issues raised in this video ...they dont want to know, let alone do anything to protect peoples health .Its only going to get worse and worse .
I was pre-diabetic at 217 pounds. I also had high cholesterol and my kidney function was questionable (long story). I am now 169 pounds, my sugar, cholesterol, and kidney function is now normal. I mostly cut out sugar & cream in my coffee (and way too much coffee daily), processed foods including boxed and meats/ cheeses, and watched sodium intake. I consumed a lot of my calories in drinks! Black coffee, tea, milk, and water is all I really drink and I hardly drink milk. My mom has type 2 diabetes but keeps "cheating". She recently had part of her foot amputated and she is obese or morbidly obese. I was heading down that same path but the difference is, I chose to discipline myself and take my life back! I also have fibromyalgia and surprisingly the pain and exhaustion has plummeted with weightloss and proper eating. My mom also has fibromyalgia and it appears she blames her weight on that. Taking responsibility for our own health and disciplining ourselves is how we solve this. My doc has told me she will leave me alone about meds now and that I am a prime example of how weight loss and a healthy life style can cure these things.
@@Kra-ri6fd You’re an inspiration! But I bet you’d feel/be fabulously fit at around 140-145lbs! And you can do it, you’ve already done the hardest steps❤, Congrats!
(spent my life at 5’6”, 130-135 lbs w/high muscle tone (a jock). And I would say that was pretty optimal. Now I’m too thin, and only about 5’4”, at age 64 . . . sadly I ran into some health issues due to S T R E S S (the real killer, after obesity/bad diet/sedentary habits). Cheers.
Meat and dairy and saturated fats don't make people fat,.. They have essential amino acids and vitamins that we require to be healthy, literally the most nutritionally dense food available. People ate there things for thousands of years without obesity.
@lrn_news9171 I agree. I eat a lot of meats and dairy....I just try to stay away from highly processed meats and dairy. I now take heavy cream in my coffee just not much flavored and sweetened creamers (special occasions), eat lots of cheeses, farm raised eggs, I also eat butter, sour cream, yogurt (the more fat the better..preferably greek), I don't drink a ton of milk....my kids drink that mostly. But I still limit beef. My kidneys just don't seem to favor too much beef. So I'm not afraid of fats. It's the sugar and sodium I try to stay away from. Milk has a surprisingly high amount of sugar, but when I do drink it, I go for whole milk. I eventually did get down to a weight of 147, but I am now 34 weeks pregnant, so those fats and proteins are even more important now!
I am type 2 diabetic and I followed the diet doctors told me to follow. I started noticing my sugars started increasing. I changed my diet to keto diet with intermittent fasting. My sugars have dropped dramatically.
I'm 6' 1" tall and weigh around 175-180 pounds and I always have (usually obese) people telling me "you're too skinny" which I'm obviously grateful for considering the option
Skinny does not = healthy, if you eat junk food. Skinny people can be diabetic as well and have autoimmune disease from food sensitivities or allergies. I worked with a lady who was very skinny, a vegan and suffering with Celiac disease and other autoimmunes
I am 6' 1'' and 175lb, 57 yo male. I have been this weight for a long time. I get the same comments, and honestly, it does bother me. It seldom is delivered as a compliment. I would never tell someone they are too fat, and most people I know are.
I had breast cancer at 50, after chemo I decided no more meds from the doctors My parents both passed and both had diabetes, and high blood pressure. Now I try so hard to eat one meal a day, no process foods and walk everyday.. I have felt better now than in my 30s Ps I watch a Dr Eric Berg on u tube, amazing for explaining health and body functions..
We are poison by the food industrie. One day, I spent an hour at the grocery store looking at the food labels for sugar and trans fat to the point that I almost got kick out by a employee of the grocery store.That really made me sick when got out. I could not believed that our government allow this to happen. I decided to changed my whole diet and I must tell you This is not easy but with some discipline this can be achieved. Good luck everybody in your endeavor.
I agree, but why do people put so much trust in the government? You don’t know these peoples real motives. There only humans. We gotta stop putting your lively hood in people’s hands. Change what we can. Everything that these high ranking people say so many people believe everything that comes out of their mouths. Its astonishing
Thank you for the encouraging words! And while I was never seriously obese, my peak weight was almost 220 pounds, and I knew I needed to change my eating habits. I'm really disciplined now, and I'm down to almost 200 pounds currently. My goal weight is 165.
If people still don’t realize that what you put into your body often dictates your health and well-being, than they are lost. Processed food is made with addictive chemicals. We have all the information and still don’t use it for our own good. We must want good for all or we will continue to destroy ourselves.
Yeah but tbh it is much more about moderation. I eat mostly processed foods because of my spinal injuries, thou I do like cooking it is impossible most days for me to handle. I'm actually quite healthy aside from my spinal injuries and stuff I cant control like my epilepsy. And it is cause I dont eat 2kCal a day every day that I am likely so healthy, but I don't fast or anything. Just simply try to eat around my BMR.
The point of this video is that most people DON’T have this information. They’ve been told for DECADES that grains, low fat products and carbs are necessary and healthy.
Note: That one doctor that mentioned Low Fat and High Sugar processed foods is very important. That Low fat yogurt you eat is almost ALWAYS high in added sugar. Even if it has no added sugar, you will want to eat MORE of it than you would if you ate full fat yogurt which is gonna lead to you eating MORE calories. The same is to be said for any low-fat food. Fat in food is one of the ways our bodies know to tell us to stop eating. And I mean natural fats, not fried foods etc etc etc. Also, high sodium is a problem. It makes you want to eat more to wash out the insanely strong flavor of the sodium. But sadly, it's hard to get low sodium stuff that DOES NOT have sugar added instead. (Soup is a prime example of this.) Oh, and friggen stop drinking so much of ANY kind of fruit juice! Even if it's REAL 100% juice. Your body freaks out when you intake that much sugar without any fiber, fat etc etc. and drinking soda is just a total no no... even sugar free. And all of this is going on well the "Body Positivity" movement is gathering more and more and more steam. I'm gay in the US and we now have events that cater to "bears" ergo, obese guys. Hundreds of guys go to one in town every few months. It however is important to note; that just 'cause someone has a lot of body fat, doesn't mean they are unhealthy. Sure, 99% of them are. However, there are some that are VERY healthy. I learned this first hand during a Zumba class. The instructor got to class late and was very heavy set. I I actually groaned outloud because I thought she was gonna be super slow and bumbling. Then she proceeded to start the class and pretty much beat everyone in the room with her stamina. The fat was just a soft layer on top of an insane amount of muscle and a cardiovascular and reportorial system that probably is in sync with some major athletes. (if not better, I'm sure she could wipe the floor with a baseball player). It is a lesson on why you can't just look at BMI to measure how healthy and at risk someone is. But again, she is in the 1% (or less) of obese people.
It took me most of two years to give up the "sweetness addiction". I was able to cut the obvious sugars early, lactose, fructose, glucose and all the so-called "healthy sugars" (i.e. honey). But it too a lot longer to re-train my taste buds to live life without the "healthy sweetners". I am finally there and not going back.
I’m convinced we should pay a lot more for meat. Better quality, less often, better conditions for animals and the land and much healthier. In addition it would help farmers who are custodians of the beautiful countryside. They wouldn’t need to sell land to housing developers if they earned enough to keep it as farmland. Big up to all the great farmers out there! X
We don’t need meat in our diet, watch Doctor Robert Morse. We can live on very little food, our bodies adjust. He says we can reverse any illness with an all fruit diet. I did it and he is right.
Intermittent fasting with exercise has really worked for me - 18/6 fasting plan, lost 4 stones over 18 months 5.8, now 147 lbs, BMI 21….I maintain my weight by avoiding fast food and sugar and eat lots of fibre, protein 😊 it’s work everyday because I want to mitigate health issues later down the line 😊
the magic word, exercise. People have little discipline to do what is necessary. you can still get away with eating fat foods. You just need to work it off at the gym.
@@stephenc2481 yeah fasting also has been shown to gave some negative health effects or studies have at least shown fasting is NO BETTER than a simply healthy diet. Plz I urge anyone to look up the science before they jump into itm
Advice to anyone reading: please be careful w intermittent fasting if you are an AFAB person - new evidence is showing that it’s very unhealthy for the female body. Most, if not all research on intermittent fasting has been done on AMAB bodies.
Water is very good..and as for me..I don't know why..but three tablespoons of peanut butter or I cup of real cooked beans..black beans or pinto works for me when getting my blood drawn. I think it's the protein I eat and I have always had small veins but medical staff usually have no problems on the first two takes when I eat a decent amount of healthy protein. I will continue to eat beans..the kind you cook from the package..not the processed kind.
My mom and I started going keto over a year ago and we lost a lot of weight together. She wished she knew about it when I was younger because it possibly could have helped me with my adhd as a kid. You do not need the cheap carbs that the government is telling you to eat!
Went strict clean Keto with Intermittent Fasting 15 months ago. Cut out all sugar and complex carbs. Especially ALL processed foods. Lost 110 lbs and I feel like myself again. I know exactly what is going into my body. It's not too late to fix yourself but it takes dedication, discipline and you need to educate yourself about our contaminated and manufactured food supply. Then take action and control back over your life.
it is hard enough to fix yourself but when your partner or people you like with like your parents for example have a high sugar diet and food is is shared in the house hold it is very very difficult... you see them eating this stuff and you are always tempted...... they wont listen to me, they think fat is the enemy not sugar.....
@@eddard9442 I'm sorry but temptation will always be around. You really need to try to seek to heal the addiction side of sweet. Without giving your addiction attention it'll just always fester. GL
I remember seeing that foot pyramid as a kid and thinking nothing wrong with it, just believing it to be true. Never once question that the “base” of our diets were supposed to be a bunch of processed foods that don’t exist in nature.
I lost 30 lbs in 7 months using intermittent fasting and bullet proof coffee and tea. The fasting was hard for the first week but then the body adjusts quite quickly. I suggest doing your own research and easing into it. I started with a 16/8 and progressed to a 18/6. I fed my body quality meats and fats, Ghee is a great source of fat and can be used in coffee and with cooking. Funny thing is my body started craving fat instead of carbs. Lost a little strength in the gym but kept muscle mass as i shed the body fat. Fasting has become a normal everyday thing for me now. My bowel movements are consistent and don't get bloated after i eat anymore. I am 38 and 5'11" went from 225 lbs down to 195 lbs, remember this a marathon and not a sprint, give your body a chance to adapt and be patient! All it takes is a littel motivation and discipline! Best of luck to everyone just starting their journey to becoming a better version of themselves!
Ive been on carnivore for 2 1/2 mo. Finally getting over the hump. Starting to feel better. Havent cheated even once. Im 72 yo. If i can do it you can to. Myy grocery bill has gone down!!! I also do IF. 18/6.
@@michaelcho1201 Actually, it's not. Grains, carbs, and sugars are a problem. Meat and fat are actually good for you. I've been looking in how our body works off either sugar or fat as energy. When you lower the sugar (grains, carbs, etc.), it forces the body to use ketones as energy. Ketones are fat energy (not sugar energy). Look into ketosis.
@@michaelcho1201 → NOPE, it's the absolute truth. FAT can NEVER trigger insulin. All carbs are sugar molecules. Non-fiber starches and sugars trigger insulin (the fat storage hormone) ande will be stored as fat if not burned. Protein is in the middle - don't over do it. If you want to lose fat eat high fat and very low carbs. My wife and I began doing this 3 years ago and are much healthier, based on our annual blood results and lowered BMI. The so-called "vegetable" oils are inflammatory - think Crisco, margarine and seed oils. Unprocessed fats are benign - lard, olive, avocado, coconut, butter and so on. This is an oft overlooked part of a healthy diet.
I hope you find success. Just note that diet is 2/3rd of the fight. As a person who myself got quite into weight lifting, it was not enough to offset my less than ideal diet. When I finally changed my diet, I slimmed down a lot more.
For those of you on Roku, where you cannot click on the comment links, the second one is "How Food Affects Our Mental Health" and the third one is "How Poor Sleep Leads To Weight Gain."
Here in USA they are allowed to use maltodextrin. It’s bad like sugar but they don’t have to tell you. It’s added to almost every snack flavored type foods.
I wondered why I didn't get fat or even worry about getting fat in the 40's, 50's and 60's as we ate desserts pretty regularly. So I got the best estimated recipe comparisons I could and found we ate far, far less sugar back in the day. We never used cake mixes and pies and cookies also were from scratch. In our other cooking we almost never used premixed or canned anything and we included lots of veggies and fruit as we were fortunate to live where we could grow or buy excellent seasonal fresh produce, eggs and meats. None of us liked packaged cereals or milk, which probably helped a good deal. Soda pop was strictly a measured occasional treat, poured into a modest sized drinking glass from a glass bottle which had to be returned to the store. Then in the '70's my figure started getting fat and at 78 I'm way too fat. (I hate to "O" word!.)
On the topic of sugar content in desserts, I made Cinnamon rolls that I felt were too sweet and I just needed them out of my house (im known to feel sick when eating too much of something sweet) so I sent them with my husband to share at work. One of his coworkers told my husband that he liked that the Cinnamon rolls were not too sweet. I was floored. Our tolerance for sweet builds very fast. One time I cut out all sugars for a week so I became sensitive to sweet flavors and plain almonds tasted sweet to me. It was the most fascinating thing.
I moved to the US from Europe 15 years ago. Had a hard time with desserts because they were so sweet. I remember traveling to Canada and getting a mocha with whipped cream - threw it out after the second sip.
@spirals 73 isn't it really amazing? I actually often eat a piece of lettuce (romaine) while I'm fixing a sandwich, I totally know what you mean by it being sweet. It worries me that all these hyper-palatable foods created by these large food companies which utilize food science is ruining most people's relationship to natural food. Eating them can ruin the experience of more simple foods to the point the natural foods really taste bad. It's similar to how if you have a box of chocolates it's best to eat the dark chocolate before the milk chocolate because the other way around isn't as enjoyable (if you're eating both types in one sitting).
And fast food was a rare treat back then and the portion sizes were much smaller. So over time more fast food and processed junk with added sugar, fat, and salt. All you need are an extra 50 or 100 Calories a day and each year you'll add 4 or 5 pounds. Say this starts when you are 30 by the time you're 40 you'll be entering obese territory and it will just keep getting worse unless you do something about it.
When I was a child in the 1950's we were blessed with healthy food for dinner made by my mom. Eating out was almost never. Now we don't take the time to make simple healthy meals and sit down together. Glad I was a child then.
So true. I work 6 days a week and we still provide egg breakfast for the kids, soup and apples for lunch and a home cooked dinner. I am Ukrainian so it's normal for me but yes nowadays it's a blessing
I was a 70's child and have a SAHM who made us dinner every night. We did eat pizza on Saturdays but the food was mom and pop shop and fresh. I'm glad I grew up that decade.
Some industrial pollutants & pesticides are hormone disrupting like micro-plastics, that cause hormone disregulation or imbalance that make people hungry. Not getting enough sleep makes people hungry, as does chronic stress! So light & sound pollution cause obesity!
I am so glad I woke up when it came to my wieght before it was too late. November 15th 2021 I weighted in at 400lbs. I changed my eating habits. I actually eat way more food then I did before. But now I eat whole fresh foods and I workout 5 days a week today I weigh 275lbs on February 1st 2023. If you find foods you like and you understand how you got fat you can change it. I now no longer can even stand the smell of the fast foods that I loved. Now I am not at my goal but I am heading there. The biggest thing I did learn is when you stumble or things don't go great you have to access what your doing make some changes and keep chugging along. Keep your eye on the goal and don't forget why you wanted this change!
Before I quit sugar, cold turkey .. the hardest thing I've ever done .. I would go into fits of rage if I could not go get a candy bar .. literal sugar mind control. Now, not joking .. just the smell of an unwrapped candy bar makes me nauseous. I was never obese, but I was developing a bit of a loose tummy, and a bit of a saggy butt. Since quitting sugar, and canola oil, and processed foods, and making sure I don't eat anything that is not loaded with fiber.. I am in my mid 40s, 5ft 7in, and 116 lbs, no flab anywhere, lean & muscular, with MAJOR inflammation reduction. We have all been duped into ingesting death by food companies, the FDA, the government ... literally we have been being force fed early death .. and I'm one of the 'living proof'. Thank you for putting this documentary out there
For 6 months, I've been eating leafy greens and protein. Drinking water with lemon and apple cider vinegar. Going to gym 5 days a week. Wow!. I'm never tired, I've lost 10kg of body fat. The benefits are great.
Very grateful to this man for putting himself put there for us to see him go thru his journey ❤ He handles things with humor and a smile, but he is right its scary. 😮❤ It's scary that we dont see that we are one with nature, and should be living in symbiosis with nature. Instead we are overcomsuming and ruining the environment that is us. We are the environment and the environment is us.
The ridiculous thing is that this guy doesn't look out of place on the street. Yes, he's overweight, but most people his age are and we've grown accustomed to that... it's the new normal. 1/3 of his liver is fat. Wow.
Same thing in the medical industry. Some guy from puerto rico who had a youtube channel about nutrition and health had great advice on how to get better. Some years ago he said that pharaceutical companies are not in the business of curing you but to make you constantly take pills to "feel better" and this he quoted from a novel price winner. Last year he was talking about a releasing a book on how to prevent and possibly cure cancer and lo and behold somehow he fell off a 9 story high balcony.
I have done research on different cures for diseases, what i learned was our medical establishment does everything to quell any knowledge of these cures, lots of people met their demise.
I began to change my diet in April 2022 by eating a more whole foods, plant-based diet. I don't eat dairy, oils, processed foods, eggs, beef and pork. I will eat a small portion of chicken, turkey or fish, but not daily. And I eat a lot of beans, grains and fruit. Since my change, I've lost 75 pounds. No exercise.

I mean it's pretty easy to go around and film a bunch of fat fuks and say "everyones a big fat slob". But this is quite honestly personal choice. If you have access to soda and fast food, you have access to fresh produce and good nutrients. No fukn excuse besides the consumer. Next.
FDA has been lying to us for a long time. They've allowed excitotoxins to be added to our food supply, considering it generally safe, when in fact it isn't.
The Asian excitotoxin known as MSG (monosodium glutamate - C₅H₈NO₄Na) builds up in the body causing GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and eventually causes thyroid cancer.
Once the thyroid is compromised, metabolism becomes uncontrollable, hormone levels become unbalanced, and obesity ensues.
They won't you dead before you can retire.
I visited a so called 3rd world country about 10 years ago from the UK they were eating fresher and healthier food than us.
There’s no industrial manufacturers who actively poison the populace for profit there yet
Facts!!
Well at least in the United Kingdom it is easy to eat very healthy if you so choose. I moved to the English countryside from the US some years ago now, and literally could not believe how many farm shops, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries, dairy farms etc there were within just a 15-20 minute radius of my small village! All extremely fresh and well priced. You definitely do not have to rely on supermarkets/ big stores here (which reminds me, even your supermarket food is 10x more natural and better tasting that the stuff we get in the US; much of which is filled with additives, pesticides and growth hormones)... Also, as someone that loves dairy, one of the things I love the most that you guys have over here are these “raw milk vending machines”. For just £1 you can fill yourself up a pint of fresh unpasteurized cows milk! Best tasting milk I’ve had, and you can then just take your bottle back again the next time to refill. In many states across America raw milk is actually illegal, and even in states where it’s legal, it’s sadly very hard to find.
Basically what I’m trying to say, is that if a grown man/ woman chooses to live entirely on unhealthy processed food; that is their own fault. Because it is very easy (and in fact cheaper by comparison) to eat healthy in the United Kingdom.

Well if tamara can do it in her posh village then why cant the whole country.
How about people who have found themselves living in poverty? Pull your head out of your backside. Jesus
@@dt937 I mentioned where I live to make a point that no matter where you reside: village, town or city you have plenty of options for fresh healthy food. If people are living in poverty, then there are plenty of very affordable options from the supermarket. I mean frozen vegetables are better than nothing, and if they can afford fast food/ high processed sugar foods then they can certainly afford a few vegetables! Eating unhealthily is actually more expensive than eating healthy - this has been proved time and time again. If someone is homeless then of course it is completely understandable, but otherwise there are few exceptions. Sorry.
As a pharmacist I’m amazed that so many of the patients I talk to don’t even know type 2 diabetes is reversible. We have medical standards and guidelines that mandate people are prescribed several classes of drugs for metabolic syndrome-related diseases, but nothing requiring actual education about the illness itself. These drugs are nothing more than a tourniquet on a severed limb and are not meant as a long term solution!
Just like hypertension
The doctor doesn't always tell the patient about anything but the medication approach. My husband and I have a rare good doctor that promoted a change in my husband's diet combined with the lowest dose of medication available for his high blood sugar. The doctor wants him off the medication within a year. His former doctor never once mentioned his diet or any form of exercise. He just prescribed medication and sent him on his way.
Corner of Great comments.
@@loveydovey4u
That’s true, even though my PCP tried to convince me otherwise, I did some research and I got my diet and blood pressure together and I stopped the “medication” myself 7 years ago.
Correct! I have a Brother whom i obviously care about. He is in his 50ties. Still eats like a Pig, no exercise or very little of it. He has diabetes. His foot is already showing signs of this with discolouration. Several times I tried to steer him in the right direction in adopting a whole plant base diet and more exercise. It all just goes right over the top of his head. I am 10 years older and in much better health than he is because of my life style changes in diet. As they say. You can lead one to the water but you can"t make them drink it. So? They rather die early or live a miserable life of ongoing illness that never needed to be in the first place.
I was pre diabetic and had insulin resistance but I turned things around by completely changing my diet and exercise and now at 39 years old I’m completely normal. I am very healthy and happy now.
Would love to hear what you did

@@MrCamel-mb3nd wow. I definitely hear 👂 the sarcasm but it is okay I didn’t take it personally
wait, may i ask, when you say 'normal' do you mean you cured your prediabeties, simply by changing your habits?
It’s simple.
The easily way to lower insulin levels or HBAIC is weight loss.
No magic diet exists. Exercise and don’t eat food you don’t need
My wife is an RN who was working with post-operative heart patients and part of what she did was educating them on exercise, nutrition etc. She said the average age was around 50 years old.
She told me that at least 60% of them ate fast food on a daily basis and acted as if they had no idea that this was not a healthy way to live.
I watched the film of my parent's wedding from 1956. In a crowd of about 50 people, I only saw one person who was overweight (but not obese). I was so amazed. I recently quit processed food (especially ultra-processed), my back pain has completely disappeared, and I've lost 15 pounds. I didn't realize how bloated I was, I can bend over much easier now. And NO cravings (I'm eating high fat low carb, NO processed food whenever possible).
I recently watched a video of my friend's bar mitzvah 37 years ago. Same. A few stray overweight people. But those people would be the norm today, not the exceptions. Kind of puts a dent in the "It's a 100% personal responsibility" crowd's argument.
Too many people profit from sickness in our culture. Slowly the corporation have taken over and eliminated checks and balances. Same applies to oil cartels. We have already created free energy technology.

Okay but how many of them smoked a pack of cigarettes a day? Addiction is part of the human condition and we will always destroy our physical bodies in exchange for pleasures of the moment. Hedonism is a powerful temptation.

@@4xdblack For real, it's criminal how bad our food is
Glad someone speaks sense, also all grains. We're meant to eat meat and organs, carbs like potato were good for us when humans were so physically active. But we've got it too easy these days.

Make sure to increase your vegetable, fruit, bean and whole grain intake.
The sad thing is that in the US most people would consider him at the start as "perfectly normal and healthy"
I also think the problem is trying to normalize being overweight. Although is important to not bully but people get upset when you tell them they’re overweight. I work with Army Cadets and I let them know they are close to not being within weight range and they got upset 🤷🏽♀️
@@paumuk6376 Totally agree. Doctors suggesting weight loss or that illness is caused/exacerbated by their weight is considered fat shaming and immoral. I am sure there are fat-phobic doctors, but I would be willing to bet that most doctors are trying to improve the health of their patients and considering the downstream effects of obesity. The numbers and science are objective, but talking about weight and health has become a sensitive subject, unfortunately.

Would never happen in a Republican-controlled state. Their corporate donors would never allow this kind of education and the politicians would brand it as "woke."
In school we watched documentaries like this. I think educating the children on basic skills like cooking sewing gardening anything that allows for self sufficiency is more important than telling them how bad something is. It’s like when they were telling us just say no to drugs…without teaching a person how to have a disciplined mind and how to overcome temptation.
I just started working at my local grocery store. Seeing what junk people buy is mind blowing. Some people will spend over $200 in groceries and everything is processed. Not one fresh fruit or vegetables. It’s sad…
I work at publix and yes those on food stamps just nothing but junk. Sometimes grapes or just peaches not even apples or bananas.
@@mrike5651 it’s really sad because the parents are obese and the kids either are obese or on their way. Don’t even get me started about those on food stamps …. 🤦🏿 .
We were in line behind a woman who bought a large cake. The cashier said "oh are you having a party?" and the woman buying the cake was soooo angry, because no, she wasn't having a party, she was just buying a very large cake.
Focus on your own food choices in your cart. What people do with their bodies is none of your business. The judgement is what keeps people trapped in negative cycles.
@@NatblidaAscende I think that's why everyone is obese because no one is honest with people to wants to help them I help people with healthier choices all the time and it's not a rude thing to do, if I see anyone confused what to get I'll tell them the healthier option how is that a bad thing
As a general rule avoid the center of a grocery store. Not things like flour and tea, but anything processed. Most of the frozen stuff is junk too. If you're old enough you remember what grocery stores used to look like, pretend they still look that way and buy just those things. The stores have gotten bigger but it isn't because they have larger produce and meat sections, it's because there are more center aisles full of processed garbage.
Flour is processed too though.
Nothing wrong with frozen veg or meat, it locks in nutrients. I'm open to considering why I'm wrong if you can cite me some sources.
@@jacobdebernardi4385 I agree "raw" frozen food is better than canned.
@@jacobdebernardi4385 I imagine they mean things like pizza, chips, and proceed frozen meals. Not the Frozen veg, fruit, and so forth.
We also need to "learn not to eat ANY sugar/bread, pasta, grains, bread is killing us. Period.
I also believe alcohol addiction is at its core an addiction to sugar. The only addictive chemical that crosses the blood brain barrier.
Almost 20 years ago, I went into public school as a new middle school teacher. My own kids were in kindergarten and second grade. When I saw how fat and unhealthy my students were, how much processed garbage and sugar the school was providing, I decided to not return the next year. I also took my kids out. I wanted them to eat real food. We went all the way through high school. My kids are now college grads, married, and both are very fit and healthy and can cook. They love to eat food. Real food.
Yes !!! Am so amazed how kids are so overweight!!! From kindergarten to middle school,,,
We moved from Mexico a few years ago ,, we live close to the beach ,, and parks ,, we always walk everywhere,, all the time ,, my boys enjoy been at the beach every weekend!!! We rarely watch tv,, we rather be at the park ,, the beach ,, or just walking!!!! We came to Iowa ,, I was in shock seen so many kids overweight,,, so many people bearly walking always in a wheelchair or scooter at the stores !!!! There shopping carts whit so many sodas ,, and junk food !!! They need to do something!!! Parents don’t care about there kids health,,,
I'm a great grandmother and I recently picked up my grandson from school early during recess. There were certainly a couple of chubby kids when I was going to gammer and primary public school, I was one of them. However, the sea of severely obese kids I saw on the playground the day I picked up my grandson was stunning. Nearly all were overweight to some degree. But about half were genuinely severely obese. This prompted me to look at my old year books. It was night and day. Not only this, but when I was a child, recess saw most kids running, playing, climbing. The day I watched recess recently, very few kids were doing anything. Those that did, most were uncoordinated, stumbling around. This is bad.....
this definitely needs to be brought to everyones attention I think most people don't realize it or id they do can't afford to eat better. the Dollar General stores have replaced most of the average grocery stores and they just sell pure poison cheap.
Fat people stuck on their phone
I'm a teacher. Your comments are correct. Youth are sitting at home on the internet and playing video games when they aren't at school
As a former teacher, I agree. These kids are so uncoordinated these days. They don’t know how to jump rope, ride bicycles. It is sad.
I saw a child about 4 walking through the shops today, only the child was sitting like a pudding on some sort of seat on wheels while the mum pushed. She could have a health problem but it was still a worry. We walked everywhere with our mum once we were out of push chairs
So powerful what the Dr said, ‘if you are alive, would you want to be healthy whilst you are alive rather than being sick’
Most people also don't know that ALCOHOL IS SUGAR. Yet another reason why alcoholics have so many health issues - equal to those of regular sugar diabetics.
I see 8 months have passed since the making of this video. It would be nice if ENDEVR followed up on Simon's progress in changing his diet and how positively this has affected his present health situation.
Ah, alcohol is not a sugar in the same way. For example, whiskey does not cause insulin to rise. Why you may ask? Because the body sees it as a poison, it is not digestible. Therefore it does not make you fat. I became metabolically healthy and lost 25 lbs of fat, never gave up drinking, I did moderate it for sure….you must take days and multiple days off, or only drink 1-2 per day. My own use is 10-20 per week.
Alcohol is not sugar... Not sure why you said that in all caps.
@@kstorm889 Thank you for telling me the truth of this matter. Why alcohol is promoted as being a sugar is beyond me. I will delete my erroneous comment.

@MEHER I don't know about channels but there are more documenteries like this one. My daughter and I going plant based and we have watched, "What the Health" and "Forks Over Knives". It has had a profound affect on us and she isn't in high scool yet.
I was the weird kid in school because my mom packed me a lunch of a whole wheat bread sandwich with some whole grain crackers and a piece of fruit, maybe some homemade cookies. My friends all had Lunchables, gushers, fruit by the foot, etc. (I’m 34). I was always the thinnest person in my classes, won all the obstacle courses and relay races, had tons of energy, got straight As. At the time, I was bummed that I didn’t get to eat all the popular 90s processed “foods” but, as an adult, I rarely crave sugar/sweets/junk food. I’m so grateful to my mom for raising me on good food. I was a middle school teacher in my 20s and always paid attention to what my kids brought for lunch; I noticed the same trend I’d seen in the 90s. The kids who brought a homemade sandwich with carrots and fresh fruit were my top earners, all in good shape, had excellent concentration. I feel for the kids who don’t have parents willing or able to provide them with a nutritious lunch every day. It really has a lasting impact.
Consider that many parents on a budget don't have a choice because they simply cannot afford anything but ultra-processed foods. Obesity rates track very closely with poverty levels. On top of that, many fruit and veggies today are less nutritious that 40 years ago (tomatoes for example have lost a whopping 50% of their nutrients). GMO Veggies and fruit grows larger today but nutrient density is reduced as a consequence.
People don't seem to realize just how much of a con the food industry has pulled, you are getting absolute trash for your money and if you want something that isn't absolutely riddled with chemicals or artificial junk you have to pay 3-5 times the cost.
Grains and fruit aren't healthy.
Proper human diet, Carnivore, is the only healthy diet..
I feel like this is a correlation with poverty, not necessarily causation. Although good food does improve your mental and physical health.
I am a health coach and the level of sugar addiction is terrifying. People have a really hard time making changes and often experience setbacks. Some give up completely bc they cannot imagine a life without excess sugar. It’s so sad we were all raised to think this is normal. It’s an uphill battle but not impossible!
It absolutely takes discipline. The lack of discipline is the real reason docs are so quick to go to the prescription pad. I used to fault them. Not anymore. We have discipline for our jobs, what shows we stream etc etc. Everything except diet discipline. You have to really want to change as a person.
Give them some cocaine. That will make them less hungry

Dr. Thornley, you perfectly described my own sugar addiction. Its real, and a daily struggle and temptation.

When my grandmother was "trimming" (she wanted to lose a few pounds) she would not eat anything WHITE. No, sugar, no breads, no rice, potatoes, pasta, cakes, flour. She went on & ate her bacon, eggs, meats, & veg. It always worked. That was 50 yrs ago. There's something to be said about the wisdom of our elders. Even without scientists & "studies" they just KNEW stuff.
I wonder if she knew to go low carb from having heard about the Banting diet? It was formulated in the 1860s, and was popular for "reducing" or "trimming" for many years until Ancel Keyes showed up. Then Atkins came along and basically revived the Banting diet, with a few changes.
@@itzakpoelzig330 that's interesting. I don't know. She was an immigrant & not formally educated past about 5th grade but you know how ladies share dieting tips. She may have learned what you speak of from a friend. Thanks for that insight! Must go read about that now..😄
When I was in high school 1970's, our cooking teacher taught us low carb for miss "fatten easy". Her own daughter was a super model who only ate a small steak & salad twice a day.
@@cincin4515 I remember watching some movie from the 70s where a family was sitting down at the dinner table, and one of the kids fed a bread roll to one of the family's hunting hounds under the table. The dad admonished the kid, saying "don't feed them bread, it'll make them fat and lazy."
Also, any farmer knows, when it comes time to fatten an animal, what do you feed them? Grains, of course.

Yah that's your elders. My elders ate home-made tortillas/ Roti, lentil soup/ daal, veggies curries, fruits, nuts, and meat occasionally and never grew fat.
I lost 40-50lbs in about 4 months w/ Keto & IF. Its how I eat. I was formerly obese and prediabetic. You have to cut sugar (and hidden sugars), vegetable seed oils and refined grains. The weight will come off automatically. I am 60 and can easily now out perform myself when I was 30. Additionally, I have corrected about 42 issues connected with poor health
"hidden sugars..."
@@cheapsoot1981 yes?
I second this comment. I lost 100 lbs and have been able to keep it off for 2 years using this method. Currently 34, 6'0 205 and single digit bodyfat. I'm not strictly keto anymore but eat low carb whole foods. Keep up the great work friend!
I'm the same, I cut out bread, sugar and alcohol. As soon as I started doing this, the weight came off really quickly and I lost around 40kg. I think for most people including myself, being obese is not the bodies natural state and it's gets this way because of processed food and the hi carb, low fat diet we've been told to eat for the last 50 years. Once the diets corrected with plenty of healthy fats and whole foods, the body reverts to it's natural state, which was certainly the case for me.
Keto and IF too. Down 200 lbs.
The food industry has set things up this way "profit over people." Is anyone surprised? Greed will always win out over concern for the populous and smaller communities. That is why videos like this and so many others are necessary in order to "re-educate" yourself regarding what is best for your long term survival.

B.s. I have not eaten fast food in 5 years. No one is forcing food down your gullet.
A friend of mine who is into conspiracy theories told me that fast food places must put drugs in the food to get us hooked and come back for more, turns out he was not completely wrong, as fat and sugar can have the same effects on the brain as drugs.
MSG- monosodium glutamate or dosodium glutamate
Msg is helpful when added to healthy foods. Brocolli etc. How msg works is make things seem to taste better and make you eat more than you originally went for. It has helped me eat stuff I hated as a child and I have dropped weight. Put it in chips and fried chicken etc? You see where I am going.
Your friend is absolutely correct the food companies goal is to make money therefore they need customers to want, buy , enjoy and be repeat customers for their products, therefore they have food scientists who’s job is to make it tastes as good as possible by making it taste as good as possible they are stimulating our pleasure center or dopamine which makes us crave pleasure one of those things that stimulate dopamine is sugar it’s in almost every processed food in excess amounts combine that with other omega 6 oils , preservatives, dyes etc plus a more sedentary lifestyle and the frequency of eating these foods no wonder we have a health crisis.
And about sugar its very addictive it’s just as or more addictive than cocaine it stimulates dopamine the same way the only difference is that even though they both come from plants one is legal and one is not .
I always thought the same about Diet Coke. Anyone I know who drinks it drinks a LOT of it
Fat is not bad it's the seed oils and too polyunsaturated fats that are bad. Saturated and monounsaturated are essential and a little bit of polyunsaturated is okay but not from ultra refined seed oils.
It's amazing how normal obesity looks now. He doesn't look that big. Most obese people don't really look that big. I've lost 70lbs, I was morbidly obese on the scale. I am only 5lbs under from "obese" now and I'm going to lose another 20 to 30lbs. So I am currently on the upper end of overweight and everyone is telling me i've lost enough and not to lose any more! My goal weight will be on the upper end of normal. it's bonkers lol

Hats of to him for turning his life around and getting rid of his diabetes. Our whole family has recently dropped processed, sugary foods and unhealthy snacks and we are being more active. Whats spurs me on is not wanting to give the big corp food companies my money anymore. Like smoking, you are paying them to kill you, slowly enough that they can make money of your unhealthy lifestyle and then turn you over to their mates in big pharma when they give you meds till you drop! They can f themselves.

I think that the sugar industry and the insuline industry are deliberately helping each other. They are connected in a wicked way.
My parents fed me junk food my entire childhood. I'm grateful I went vegetarian. That was my personal journey to learning how important whole foods are. Not saying vegetarian is the only way or that all vegetarians do it right. That was just the jump I needed to get out of my family's tribe of unhealthy eating.

Lol, I was just thinking about that and saw this comment. The world we live in ..
Only one way to make sure that doesn’t happen
There IS a solution.
Don't be fat.
Though it's PROBABLY somebody else's fault.
this was my first thought about this video
Being confused for the beached whale.
I am 66, and used to be morbidly obese in the opinions of two medical doctors. I also had a fatty liver condition and several other chronic health conditions that plagued me for decades. They were all related to the obesity.
I began eating differently just over two years ago. I began an aggressive regiment of intermittent fasting by eating just one meal a day with no extra snacking at all during the day. I stopped eating all highly processed junk 'foods', avoided all forms of sugars and drastically decreased carbohydrate consumption. I began preparing my own daily meals using only real, locally produced, organic, non GMO and free range food ingredients.
In just two months i lost about 60 pounds of excess fluids and body fat without any increase in physical activity. And soon after that, all those other chronic health conditions were reversed. No more fatty liver condition, no more occasional hypertension, the edema, (swelling in the feet and lower legs) was gone, the peripheral neuropathy, (pain in feet) went away and even the symptoms of COPD subsided - no more chronic cough, no more wheezing and no more shortness of breath. And i am still a modest smoker. Imagine that.
I have keep this up for just over two years now, 'cheating' occasionally. But i am in full control of my weight and metabolic health at this point. If i ever want to shed a few pounds, i know exactly what to do. I have also increased my exercise and physical activities. I am stronger and more healthy than i was ten years ago. Even my bones and teeth are stronger, testosterone levels have improved and other things i may not be thinking of at the moment.
I owe a lot of my success to a few good doctors and others who post excellent content on TH-cam. Two of my favorites are Holistic Doctor Sten Ekberg and Dr. Eric Berg. They, and several others like them have provided advice on TH-cam that have helped millions of people worldwide just like me. If you are overweight or suffer with type 2 diabetes, check them out. They just may save your life. They have added years to mine. I am certain of that.
I would love to see his progress in the 3 months. I was diagnosed with pre T2 5'10" 275# in 2020. I made a choice and now I am without medication, no longer pre T2 and am 195#. It can be done and I'm excited to see others do it as well!
Well done! Keep going.
Wow! So awesome. You are inspiring me.
I too was Pre T2 A1c 6.0 got my health back by eliminating seed oils and processed foods my A1c dropped to 5.4 last checked and I’ve dropped 65+ pounds my Blood pressure back to a normal range for a 60 year old
This was all done by a willingness to take my Health seriously and deep dived into the reasons I was becoming chronically ill
I walk to avoid getting fat. Walking is good. It's not that hard. It's walking. For some understandably so if you don't have legs or something
absolutely. it can be done!
I had to tell a client one time they were 61% fat and I had to cry first and come back. That client was very angry at me and question all health providers, when they were standing in front of me looking how they did. Self responsibility is the only answer. Very sad.
Yes, the unconscious ego tis like that when the I has never got to hear healthy, sound things and is unknowing, thinking it is all OK
@Keira Kiedis yes it is. Their 1 minute run the gauntlet emotion almost had me walking away from my profession. Angry (pushing it at me, but knowing it’s not my fault, I was just the outlet), blame (government/job/circumstance), defeat, breakdown, and walk out. I called later as a follow-up, as it was a Dr. Only case in my opinion, and I wanted them to know there was help. Through all of our conversations, many, zero responsibility, zero. And in the end, it was all about personal responsibility. Sad case.
That client should actually have been questioning food manufacturers. And they are a victim of food manufacturing and marketing. Yes there's personal responsibility. But the fact is the chips are stacked heavily, against anyone who eats processed foods, being healthy in the long run.
@@therealdeal3672 until we leave “victim mentality” and take “some responsibility”, no change. For so many reasons I can’t even count. You must understand, I am not discussing complex, compound medical conditions. Just responsibility.
@@truenorthwestacademy007 as a doctor, are you promoting the same old nutrition advice as the ADA? Because that is a recipe for disaster and that's how that patient ended up looking that way. Do the research and be a knowledgeable doctor. Next time recommend carnivore diet. That's what humans are evolved to eat. That's what would have saved the life of your patient. The proper human diet. Exclusively with none of that processed garbage and no seed oils. As long as you're not one of the doctors that thinks butter and animal fat is the problem. Because that would make you really wrong. And then you should leave your profession anyway.
I agree with this. When I was younger you could count the number of overweight kids at your school on one hand. I remember moving to a different state as a young adult and was shocked at the size of school aged kids, kids looking like adults, around the same weight as adults. Poor food choices and cutting out recess or making recess optional in schools only adds to the problem. I remember the food we were fed in schools back in the day. Lunch was fairly healthy and there were NO vending machines selling junk food at all.
I started eating low carb 1 year ago. Since then I've been looking a overweight people and noticing where they are carrying the fat. There are so many obese children under 10 it is very sad think about how this is going to affect them down the track.
Smiling here. My highschool had a vending machine. It was a Fruit-o-matic and featured apples, nectaries and I think oranges for 35 cents. :)

This is a wonderful documentary! Unbelievable how skewed data changed the food landscape/narrative and demonized saturated fats and fats in general, and made way for so much carbs and sugar in our diet. People don’t realize high cholesterol is actually influenced so much by carbs.
I love Australian people. In the US we have to pretend being obese isn't a health condition because we don't want to hurt anyone's sensitive feelings

I have had non alcoholic fatty liver since I was 10 and I've always been on the lower end of normal weight. My parents always fed me sweets and sugars when I was young. I wonder how far this reaches and what other things are going to happen to society
I had binging issues on sweets and junk food when I was little. I suffered a lot of stomach issues when I was young and my parents had no idea why. My family immigrated from Vietnam so they didn't know better. They got me American processed foods to eat. My mom likes the American sweet junk foods too. She is the most sickly out of the entire family. She had everything, heart disease, diabetes and battled lymphoma cancer at one point. None of this happened to anyone in her family in Vietnam. She's also recently diagnosed with early stage dementia last year. I now watch her slowly lose her memory and she's reverting back to childlike ways. She's only 68... Barely passed retirement age.
As for myself, I quit most added sugars 10 years ago and a year ago I stopped eating most processed stuff. I feel much healthier than when I was younger

I got NAFLD at 16 and was a normal weight too(although at the higher end of the range bmi of 24) my doctors were pretty were pretty surprised and theorised it might be because I'm indigenous Brazilian and we (and other native americans) have obesity related diseases much quicker and at lower weights than other ethnicities. My NAFLD went away after I lost weight and lowered my sugar intake.
Have u tried keto? Dr Ken berry on TH-cam is incredible I leaned so much and lost weight too
I got rid of my 26 years diabetes and lost 50 lbs since last year. It’s possible but it’s not easy. That’s why many people , my dad included, chose to take meds and nothing else and died blind and amputated. The key for me was quitting all carbs and sugar cold turkey. I did and do lots of other stuff as well like intermittent fasting and daily exercise but cutting the carbs was the thing which bring my A1C from 9 to 5.8 even after stopping all meds and insulins. Good luck too you.
What were some foods you stopped eating?
@@danjones3402 bread , rice , potatoes and anything made of flour. Poisons with added sugar. High sugary fruits specifically fruit juice and dried fruits. Recently I added back some nuts and beans but under very short leash observed situation.

No Sugars, Carbs or Alcohol. Grains are not good for you either.
I became type 2 diabetic. I took it serious and completely changed my life. Been doing keto for two years. I list 100lbs in a year and have maintained it off. I was off all medication after 6 months of the life change. No metformin or nothing. Living free is amazing.
I grew up eating my mother’s home cooking (cheaper than eating outside food). Also fast food didn’t get into my country until the year we moved to US. I moved out to be independent at 19. As a full time student with 3 or jobs I ate whatever quick and available (one job had always been waiting tables). I am very thankful I have no fast food craving. It was always the last option. In my 40/50s I chose to make my own breakfast and lunch at home to bring to work. It saved me a lot of $ and time not eating out. However I wasn’t satisfied because it’s the same food 5 days a week. I have been retired 2 years and care for my mother, I discover the joy of eating. I make our 2 meals from scratch daily using up one week’s grocery (good quality grocery). I try different recipes often. I change things up. Meal time becomes what I look for and I enjoy every bite. Eating happily is such a pleasure that I had not known for decades. Oh yes I have also been recreationally active since 40, running marathon and mountaineering. Since retiring I got into daily swimming and contemplating triathlon.
This is what I have learned about food in my lifetime:
- Most Americans eat fast food for pleasure, not for nutrition. It's also very convenient to pick up your food at a drive-thro instead of cooking a nutritional meal
- Unfortunately, most parents are quite content to have their children eat fast foods and drink sugar-laden soda, even from a very young age. It's so easy and convenient!
- The Fast Food industry in America is pure evil. They have enabled the industrialization of meat, which creates over-processed hormone-laden and chemically-treated beef, pork and chicken.
- Public Schools have capitulated to Fast Food and Soda Corporations by serving up their high carb, high sugar, devoid of nutrition foods to our children in cafeterias and thru vending machines
- Fast Food commercials dupe Americans, especially children and teens and normalize eating for pleasure, not for health. In these commercials, they will never tell you how their meat is processed because if they did you would probably become a vegetarian! Sorry to tell you but those chicken nuggets that you love so much have been bleached in ammorita.
- If you can train your palate and the palate of your child to enjoy an apple, a sweet carrot, a bowl of lentils, then a healthy strong body comes naturally. It's possible to eat for both pleasure and nutrition. To do so you have to train your taste buds to enjoy fruits, vegetables, healthier range-fed meats, wild caught fish, nuts and grains.
- One final point: the cost of one fast food meal for a family of 4 is over $50. Imagine the healthy groceries you can buy instead with all the cost savings !!
Yes if you make everything from scratch 50 dollars could feed a family for several days instead of one garbage meal!
Fresh uncooked veggies are usually unpalatably sweet to me lol
Man, my kids never have fast food, mostly because it's so expensive compared to cooking at home. It's just not practical. Also, I'm American, fwiw
I think, if you want your kids to eat healthy, you have to eat healthy yourself. My kids always want what's on my plate lol! And I give them cod liver oil nearly every day as a little boost of nutrition.
My adult kids and I are aware of the evils of sugar and processed food..my youngest son was fat as a teen..he lost a lot of weight..went in military..when he got out..he still keeps it off after more than a decade..my daughter rarely eats meat..as do i..I want to live a long life..and my kids want to be healthy. I'm glad they are paying attention.
@@vickieharris3850 Awesome 👍. I wish more parents would instill those good eating habits for their children.
I've been an avid swimmer all my life and ate a lot of sugar. I also ate far too many carbs, but never realized how much. In August of 2020 I ended up the emergency room with a blood sugar of 531mg/DL. Never have I been obese. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. The doctor probably said I got away with it for many years because I was a swimmer. I quit sugar, went on a low-carb diet. These days I hard ever measure above 150mg/DL and I lost a few more pounds.
Very simmilar story to mine. I'm a lean diabetic with an otherwise very active and healthy lifestyle, good sleep schedual, avoids junk food, etc. However, I was still eating a lot of bread, pasta, and oats, and I don't have the muscle to absorb the ammount of carbs I was eating. Its amazing how quickly low carb/ keto can undo insulin resistence. Within a week my blood sugars stabilize and I no longer get hyper/hypo glycemic. Im also just starting to lift heavy weights to gain muscle, which is proven to massively help IR and diabetes more than cardio (which I also do a fair bit of) in lean diabetics.
I know it’s the thing right now to demonise carbs. But I can tell you that when I was a kid and it was the same for most ordinary people, carbs were the mainstay of our diets.
I was one of eight kids and my mum was a widow. We certainly weren’t eating lots of protein. Our meals were a little bit of meat and a whole lot of spuds and veg. That was how people ate in those days when meat was a lot more expensive than it is now.
In fact I always wonder about the cheap meat and what has made it cheaper? It’s not because it’s full of the best of everything
If you were swimming in chlorine pools it was poisoning you more than anything.
you probably have visceral fat, which is hidden between your organs.
Because sugar is not really what caused this insanely high obesity epidemic. It's one of the causes but it's absurd to blame sugar for this obesity crisis.
Major respect to this host for doing it himself.
Enlightening information. I'm also a sugar addict and am reluctant to give up sugar in food but after watching this documentary know that it's better to eat healthy than end up with life threatening diseases. Thanks for sharing.
When I was a soldier, I'd eat about $30 of candy per week. This was more than a decade ago, so that's a lot more candy than $30 today! Trying to get rid of sugar was the WORST! It's much easier to get healthier if you only do baby steps. Instead of $30 per week, stick to $25 per week for a couple weeks, then $20, a d progress like that until you're between 0 and $5 per week. Just that makes a huge difference! Same applies with soda, and other bad foods. I'd also recommend looking up the author Mike Matthews, he's extremely knowledgeable and prefers that his clients take a small steps so that they're permanently changing their lives.
@@Heather-xm9ul lol wow I thought I enjoyed candy as a kid but... just wow. I never spent more than anfew dollars on it per week... and usually it was more like once a month I'd buy some candy. Thinking about that much sweet is actually a turn off to me. Thou ever since my thyroid has been treated I dont have many sweet cravings except maybe once a certain time of month hehe.
Kick sugar cravings and give keto a go for 3 months. I slowly transitioned to keto and it’s helped me stop craving sugar and carbs, stopped me from overeating, binge eating and I don’t continuously feel hungry
Eat berries and fruits in season for the best sweet taste!
@@jesstopia6600 I'd love to, but when I tried it I had what I was told was keto flu (in reality, I think sugar cravings) for 28 days!! I have kids and a job, a week of that, ok I'll manage but I'm so addicted to sugar that I guess it takes me a long time to detox? I can't do 28 days plus, what do I do?
I want to thank the makers of this documentary!
After watching I started right away with a diet that avoids any processed food!
It was a huge eye opener.
I can advice anyone: just do it. Not just eat less sugar or processed food (that’s not gonna work), but really change! It sounds extreme but it isn’t. The first 2 days are a bit strange, but you will start enjoying pure products more and more. Of course make sure you have a balanced and diverse diet. But all these processed products and all this sugar: your body really doesn’t need it!
I feel way more healthy, better skin, etc…
Yeah, after a week of eating mostly whole foods and meats they actually start to taste alot better, cut out sugary drinks like soda and plain water tastes quite nice and refreshing.
How much lbs you lost so far bro
I'm on this journey, too!! We love to see it
"Diverse" is a falsehood. The most nutritionally dense foods are beef like ribeye and organ meat. Chicken eggs are also very nutritionally dense, fish, dairy etc... just the first two have all the necessary amino acids, proteins and vitamins and minerals. You might eat an orange or two for vitamin C and you're good to go. You don't need to eat a diverse diet to be healthy. Veggies aren't all that great for you, consume them in smaller portions but eat mostly animal products with smaller portions of plant foods
Exercise, lose weight, eat whole food, avoid extremes (fat, sugar), read labels. That is all my doctor told me before he retired. My next doctor "died unexpectedly" at age 33. Reality? I am the doctor. I have to take care of myself. If it is to be it is up to me. Good luck.
fat is good and essential, some fats however should be completely avoided
I'm with you. We have to be our own doctors.
Cook homemade meals as much as possible.
There you go.

This was very informative and EYE-OPENING! Thank you for bluntly putting the facts in front of us.
I’ve been improving my diet the last six years. Started with going sugar free. Then gluten free. Then grain free. Then processed meats free. Then I cut out deep fried foods. Lately, I’ve started cutting saturated fats and extra sodium, while adding more veg, beans and fruit. Making gradual changes over time has worked best for me and my partner.
Veggies, beans and fruits are full of carbs which are not good. They all make your insulin spike a lot which is our storage hormone. Try intermitent fasting and more carnivor style diet and you'll see how better you'll feel. No wonder big pharma wants us to eat high carb foods.
It took you 6 years to all all of that? I did it in 2 weeks!
Braggart. She did great!
Dump the fruit and put the saturated fat back on the menu. Fruit contains fructose and will spike your insulin. Fat has NO effect on insulin. Fat is also satiating unlike sugar. This sounds like a lifestyle change not a diet...good on'ya!
Why would u cut meat and saturated fat? You need these things meat is healthy don't let any one tell you otherwise
I love the host, hope he is ok! ❤ I went on a healthy eating journey when I had a baby and I’ve lost 55 pounds so far! Our bodies are sacred ❤
Great special. This guy really put himself out there to help us all which is very brave.
I was having cold left over pizza for lunch as I watched this. I actually started to feel ill as I went though the video and finished my lunch. Near the end it was hard to finish. I am not fat anymore because I cut sugar last year. But it is so hard to get away from processed foods in our modern fast paced society.
It is hard but don’t be too hard on yourself. An occasional pizza or burger is okay. You’ve gotten on top of the sugar issue and that’s great. It’s so hard to cut back on sugar. So good job!

I had an eating disorder in my teenage years where I would binge, and to compensate for the extra calories I would either purge or starve myself. I ended up getting help and consider myself recovered as of early 2017. But a huge part of my recovery, I feel, was returning fat to my diet. I almost always chose the low fat/fat free versions of foods when I was sick in order to save calories, but it would bite me in the butt by causing me to never feel full for long and to get cravings that would trigger binges. During recovery I noticed that when I would eat whole fat foods, I didn't need to eat as much of them as the low fat alternatives to feel full, and I wouldn't crave more food shortly after eating. I eat a fairly high fat, high protein diet these days, but eating this way helps me almost never binge.
Grats on doing better!!

No more high blood pressure for my wife and this morning my blood glucose was lower than I can ever remember it being.
Please listen to Dr. Sten Ekberg and KenDBerryMD and Shawn Baker
6 years ago, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic along with other issues associated with it. Instead of going on the suggested array of pharmaceuticals, I chose to go the holistic route. I went on a Carnivore (high protein) diet. I eliminated my sugar intake, and walk 2-3 miles per day. As a result, pre-diabetes gone, lower B/P, 230-165lbs. And over all and 68 years old, looking and feeling great😊.
Great job! I just converted to carnivore diet as well. I feel amazing.
I'm 71. My whole time growing up, my mother home cooked everything. She didn't buy canned foods. She always cooked fresh grown, we had a garden. No soda. No cookies (she made her own: we ground the nuts, she rolled it out and put in the filling. And we didn't have them every day, only certain holidays) So......NO diabetes in MY family, anywhere. My husband (79) has eaten junk all his life, to this day: pies, bagels, cookies, candy, you name it, if he wants it, he buys it, like a kid in a candy store. And his dad was diabetic, and ate whatever he wanted. My husband walked as a mailman for 26yrs, and he retired 16 yrs ago. He has NO diabetes at all. Not even a fatty liver. He's a stinking perfect specimen. ME? First my thyroid was attacked by my immune system and killed it, now on thyroid. Than the pancreas went and I'm diabetic. Insulin every day. And I don't buy or eat one processed food from the grocery store! Am I watching every bite that goes in my mouth?? You better believe it. If something is in a can or wrapped in a bag, I never touch it. I don't do McDonalds nor any other fast food. There's not one can of processed food on my shelf; and I never fed my kids junk either as they grew up. I do very much appreciate the information in the video, as I continue to inform myself of how to do even better with the foods I do eat. It's on-going to say the least. And YES......there IS sugar in every package that's sold in a grocery store. Be a label reader, make better choices, and of course..........put the fork down.........
I went Keto three months ago after a cancer scare. Havnt looked back as the weight just fell off me. It’s the grains. Get rid of them. Breakfast is gone. I’m no longer hungry. My arthritis is gone. I’m 54.
Yes but it also amounts too. I barely eat protein but I'm very healthy aside from stuff like epilepsy that diet doesnt rly affect.
But also it depends on the person. My body’s preferred form of energy is carbs. I’ve learned that I preform best when I eat carbs. For others, that’s not the case. They don’t need carbs. What I *have* noticed though is sugar knocks my hunger cues out of whack. When I purposefully watch for sugar, I feel much, *much* better.

The food industry is rather callously killing us. Well it is our call, but goodness me does it take a lot of willpower to make the healthy choices.
That's because sugar is highly addictive and it's hard getting past the withdrawals. It's like being on drugs it's crazy
Quitting sugar was tougher than a 20 year drinking habit, for my boyfriend.
The unhealthy food is cheaper and plentiful in supply than healthy foods. This disproportionately impacts the poor and disadvantaged.

Not "low Sugar" but NO Sugar is the answer.
I was pre-diabetic at 217 pounds. I also had high cholesterol and my kidney function was questionable (long story). I am now 169 pounds, my sugar, cholesterol, and kidney function is now normal. I mostly cut out sugar & cream in my coffee (and way too much coffee daily), processed foods including boxed and meats/ cheeses, and watched sodium intake. I consumed a lot of my calories in drinks! Black coffee, tea, milk, and water is all I really drink and I hardly drink milk. My mom has type 2 diabetes but keeps "cheating". She recently had part of her foot amputated and she is obese or morbidly obese. I was heading down that same path but the difference is, I chose to discipline myself and take my life back! I also have fibromyalgia and surprisingly the pain and exhaustion has plummeted with weightloss and proper eating. My mom also has fibromyalgia and it appears she blames her weight on that. Taking responsibility for our own health and disciplining ourselves is how we solve this. My doc has told me she will leave me alone about meds now and that I am a prime example of how weight loss and a healthy life style can cure these things.

I now take heavy cream in my coffee just not much flavored and sweetened creamers (special occasions), eat lots of cheeses, farm raised eggs, I also eat butter, sour cream, yogurt (the more fat the better..preferably greek), I don't drink a ton of milk....my kids drink that mostly. But I still limit beef. My kidneys just don't seem to favor too much beef. So I'm not afraid of fats. It's the sugar and sodium I try to stay away from. Milk has a surprisingly high amount of sugar, but when I do drink it, I go for whole milk. I eventually did get down to a weight of 147, but I am now 34 weeks pregnant, so those fats and proteins are even more important now!
So glad you're walking us through this! And I really hope to see your 3 month update! 😊 Thank you Simon!
I am type 2 diabetic and I followed the diet doctors told me to follow. I started noticing my sugars started increasing. I changed my diet to keto diet with intermittent fasting. My sugars have dropped dramatically.
I'm 6' 1" tall and weigh around 175-180 pounds and I always have (usually obese) people telling me "you're too skinny" which I'm obviously grateful for considering the option
Skinny does not = healthy, if you eat junk food. Skinny people can be diabetic as well and have autoimmune disease from food sensitivities or allergies. I worked with a lady who was very skinny, a vegan and suffering with Celiac disease and other autoimmunes
Your existence is a reminder of their failure.
I am 6' 1'' and 175lb, 57 yo male. I have been this weight for a long time. I get the same comments, and honestly, it does bother me. It seldom is delivered as a compliment. I would never tell someone they are too fat, and most people I know are.
That is my husband’s height and weight. He hasn’t gained a pound since high school and he just started Medicare!
Nope,your normal. Look back at pictures of the early 1900's and tv shows before the low fat craze started .(thanks Ancle keys)/s.
I had breast cancer at 50, after chemo I decided no more meds from the doctors
My parents both passed and both had diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Now I try so hard to eat one meal a day, no process foods and walk everyday..
I have felt better now than in my 30s
Ps I watch a Dr Eric Berg on u tube, amazing for explaining health and body functions..
I love this channel. Thank you for educating so many people, FOR FREE.
We are poison by the food industrie. One day, I spent an hour at the grocery store looking at the food labels for sugar and trans fat to the point that I almost got kick out by a employee of the grocery store.That really made me sick when got out. I could not believed that our government allow this to happen. I decided to changed my whole diet and I must tell you This is not easy but with some discipline this can be achieved. Good luck everybody in your endeavor.
I agree, but why do people put so much trust in the government?
You don’t know these peoples real motives. There only humans. We gotta stop putting your lively hood in people’s hands. Change what we can. Everything that these high ranking people say so many people believe everything that comes out of their mouths. Its astonishing
It was worse than quitting smoking for me
Thank you for the encouraging words! And while I was never seriously obese, my peak weight was almost 220 pounds, and I knew I needed to change my eating habits. I'm really disciplined now, and I'm down to almost 200 pounds currently. My goal weight is 165.
They kicked you out for reading the labels? Wouldn't they have just assumed you were shopping?
If people still don’t realize that what you put into your body often dictates your health and well-being, than they are lost. Processed food is made with addictive chemicals. We have all the information and still don’t use it for our own good. We must want good for all or we will continue to destroy ourselves.
Yeah but tbh it is much more about moderation. I eat mostly processed foods because of my spinal injuries, thou I do like cooking it is impossible most days for me to handle. I'm actually quite healthy aside from my spinal injuries and stuff I cant control like my epilepsy. And it is cause I dont eat 2kCal a day every day that I am likely so healthy, but I don't fast or anything. Just simply try to eat around my BMR.
The point of this video is that most people DON’T have this information. They’ve been told for DECADES that grains, low fat products and carbs are necessary and healthy.
Note: That one doctor that mentioned Low Fat and High Sugar processed foods is very important. That Low fat yogurt you eat is almost ALWAYS high in added sugar. Even if it has no added sugar, you will want to eat MORE of it than you would if you ate full fat yogurt which is gonna lead to you eating MORE calories. The same is to be said for any low-fat food. Fat in food is one of the ways our bodies know to tell us to stop eating. And I mean natural fats, not fried foods etc etc etc.
Also, high sodium is a problem. It makes you want to eat more to wash out the insanely strong flavor of the sodium. But sadly, it's hard to get low sodium stuff that DOES NOT have sugar added instead. (Soup is a prime example of this.)
Oh, and friggen stop drinking so much of ANY kind of fruit juice! Even if it's REAL 100% juice. Your body freaks out when you intake that much sugar without any fiber, fat etc etc.
and drinking soda is just a total no no... even sugar free.
And all of this is going on well the "Body Positivity" movement is gathering more and more and more steam. I'm gay in the US and we now have events that cater to "bears" ergo, obese guys. Hundreds of guys go to one in town every few months.
It however is important to note; that just 'cause someone has a lot of body fat, doesn't mean they are unhealthy. Sure, 99% of them are. However, there are some that are VERY healthy.
I learned this first hand during a Zumba class. The instructor got to class late and was very heavy set. I I actually groaned outloud because I thought she was gonna be super slow and bumbling. Then she proceeded to start the class and pretty much beat everyone in the room with her stamina.
The fat was just a soft layer on top of an insane amount of muscle and a cardiovascular and reportorial system that probably is in sync with some major athletes. (if not better, I'm sure she could wipe the floor with a baseball player).
It is a lesson on why you can't just look at BMI to measure how healthy and at risk someone is.
But again, she is in the 1% (or less) of obese people.
If you don't think sugar is addicting, just try to cut it out for a month!
It took me most of two years to give up the "sweetness addiction". I was able to cut the obvious sugars early, lactose, fructose, glucose and all the so-called "healthy sugars" (i.e. honey). But it too a lot longer to re-train my taste buds to live life without the "healthy sweetners". I am finally there and not going back.
@@scrappyquilter102 Even natural sugars??
Eye opening. If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything 😢time for some changes 🙏🏿
I’m convinced we should pay a lot more for meat. Better quality, less often, better conditions for animals and the land and much healthier. In addition it would help farmers who are custodians of the beautiful countryside. They wouldn’t need to sell land to housing developers if they earned enough to keep it as farmland.
Big up to all the great farmers out there! X
We don’t need meat in our diet, watch Doctor Robert Morse. We can live on very little food, our bodies adjust. He says we can reverse any illness with an all fruit diet. I did it and he is right.
We need to live somewhere. It's totally unrealistic to expect 2x the population of 50 years ago to live on the same surface area of land.
@@billmartins5545 that's why we have flats and high rises.
Intermittent fasting with exercise has really worked for me - 18/6 fasting plan, lost 4 stones over 18 months 5.8, now 147 lbs, BMI 21….I maintain my weight by avoiding fast food and sugar and eat lots of fibre, protein 😊 it’s work everyday because I want to mitigate health issues later down the line 😊
the magic word, exercise. People have little discipline to do what is necessary. you can still get away with eating fat foods. You just need to work it off at the gym.
I just started intermittent last Monday and boy it's a journey I do the 16-8 one,
@@theunit5939 Well done. Starting is always hard but keep at it and you’ll start seeing the results very soon 👍
@@stephenc2481 yeah fasting also has been shown to gave some negative health effects or studies have at least shown fasting is NO BETTER than a simply healthy diet. Plz I urge anyone to look up the science before they jump into itm
Advice to anyone reading: please be careful w intermittent fasting if you are an AFAB person - new evidence is showing that it’s very unhealthy for the female body. Most, if not all research on intermittent fasting has been done on AMAB bodies.
Tip: if your veins are hard to find, be sure to hydrate and drink lots of water before you go in for the blood draw.
Thank u
Ty
That's what I was saying out loud, you need more water!!
Water is very good..and as for me..I don't know why..but three tablespoons of peanut butter or I cup of real cooked beans..black beans or pinto works for me when getting my blood drawn. I think it's the protein I eat and I have always had small veins but medical staff usually have no problems on the first two takes when I eat a decent amount of healthy protein. I will continue to eat beans..the kind you cook from the package..not the processed kind.
Wow didnt know this! Thanks
Wow, this video is tough to watch for Chef Gault and all of us. Thank you for being vulnerable and helping yourself and others.
The food industry has overcome the world. Those few that are aware and away from the industry’s grasp feel like we’re in the twilight zone.
Look at Australia and or most small Pacifcic Island countries, obesity took hold shortly after American processed foods did.
My mom and I started going keto over a year ago and we lost a lot of weight together. She wished she knew about it when I was younger because it possibly could have helped me with my adhd as a kid. You do not need the cheap carbs that the government is telling you to eat!
Went strict clean Keto with Intermittent Fasting 15 months ago. Cut out all sugar and complex carbs. Especially ALL processed foods. Lost 110 lbs and I feel like myself again. I know exactly what is going into my body. It's not too late to fix yourself but it takes dedication, discipline and you need to educate yourself about our contaminated and manufactured food supply. Then take action and control back over your life.
Very well said.
Took responsibility, and educated yourself are key. Congratulations. 🎈🍾🎊🎉
it is hard enough to fix yourself but when your partner or people you like with like your parents for example have a high sugar diet and food is is shared in the house hold it is very very difficult... you see them eating this stuff and you are always tempted...... they wont listen to me, they think fat is the enemy not sugar.....
@@eddard9442 I'm sorry but temptation will always be around. You really need to try to seek to heal the addiction side of sweet. Without giving your addiction attention it'll just always fester. GL
Been loving my low carb diet. I'm in better shape now, and have lost tons of weight. It's sad how we've been lied to about our diets. I workout too.
we need a part two of this. i really do hope he gets in better results after three months.
I remember seeing that foot pyramid as a kid and thinking nothing wrong with it, just believing it to be true. Never once question that the “base” of our diets were supposed to be a bunch of processed foods that don’t exist in nature.
The food pyramid was created by food lobbyist. That's how you know is bunk science.
Exactly, early humans were not growing white bread, they were hunting animals
I lost 30 lbs in 7 months using intermittent fasting and bullet proof coffee and tea. The fasting was hard for the first week but then the body adjusts quite quickly. I suggest doing your own research and easing into it. I started with a 16/8 and progressed to a 18/6. I fed my body quality meats and fats, Ghee is a great source of fat and can be used in coffee and with cooking. Funny thing is my body started craving fat instead of carbs. Lost a little strength in the gym but kept muscle mass as i shed the body fat. Fasting has become a normal everyday thing for me now. My bowel movements are consistent and don't get bloated after i eat anymore.
I am 38 and 5'11" went from 225 lbs down to 195 lbs, remember this a marathon and not a sprint, give your body a chance to adapt and be patient! All it takes is a littel motivation and discipline!
Best of luck to everyone just starting their journey to becoming a better version of themselves!
Totally!! On All of this!
That's so awesome!
Totally agree. Those who wants to try should check out Dr. Jason Fung TH-cam channel. He explained it well and guide to do it.
I used kratom to avoid eating. But now I`m addicted. But I`m a chronic pain patient and it works.
Ive been on carnivore for 2 1/2 mo. Finally getting over the hump. Starting to feel better. Havent cheated even once. Im 72 yo. If i can do it you can to. Myy grocery bill has gone down!!! I also do IF. 18/6.
Dr. Lustig is an excellent source of knowledge about very important health concerns.Thanks for producing this episode
Can’t wait to see his results, I really hope he sticks to it and achieves what he wants to achieve
All he needs to do....is move slowly toward "a full carnivore diet". EOS/ "End of story.
@@frankfromupstateny3796 haha 😄 that's a joke right?
@@michaelcho1201
Actually, it's not. Grains, carbs, and sugars are a problem. Meat and fat are actually good for you. I've been looking in how our body works off either sugar or fat as energy. When you lower the sugar (grains, carbs, etc.), it forces the body to use ketones as energy. Ketones are fat energy (not sugar energy). Look into ketosis.
@@michaelcho1201 → NOPE, it's the absolute truth. FAT can NEVER trigger insulin. All carbs are sugar molecules. Non-fiber starches and sugars trigger insulin (the fat storage hormone) ande will be stored as fat if not burned. Protein is in the middle - don't over do it. If you want to lose fat eat high fat and very low carbs. My wife and I began doing this 3 years ago and are much healthier, based on our annual blood results and lowered BMI. The so-called "vegetable" oils are inflammatory - think Crisco, margarine and seed oils. Unprocessed fats are benign - lard, olive, avocado, coconut, butter and so on. This is an oft overlooked part of a healthy diet.
Absolutely! Coupled with fasting.
this documentary convinced me to start working out, right before i was diagnosed with a heart condition that i need to exercise for. thank you endevr!
You can do it! Seriously you can! Keep me posted on how it’s going!
I hope you find success. Just note that diet is 2/3rd of the fight. As a person who myself got quite into weight lifting, it was not enough to offset my less than ideal diet. When I finally changed my diet, I slimmed down a lot more.
Wow, that was an eye opening documentary, I'll definitely be making changes to mine and my family's diet.
For those of you on Roku, where you cannot click on the comment links, the second one is "How Food Affects Our Mental Health" and the third one is "How Poor Sleep Leads To Weight Gain."
Here in USA they are allowed to use maltodextrin. It’s bad like sugar but they don’t have to tell you. It’s added to almost every snack flavored type foods.
I wondered why I didn't get fat or even worry about getting fat in the 40's, 50's and 60's as we ate desserts pretty regularly. So I got the best estimated recipe comparisons I could and found we ate far, far less sugar back in the day. We never used cake mixes and pies and cookies also were from scratch. In our other cooking we almost never used premixed or canned anything and we included lots of veggies and fruit as we were fortunate to live where we could grow or buy excellent seasonal fresh produce, eggs and meats. None of us liked packaged cereals or milk, which probably helped a good deal. Soda pop was strictly a measured occasional treat, poured into a modest sized drinking glass from a glass bottle which had to be returned to the store. Then in the '70's my figure started getting fat and at 78 I'm way too fat. (I hate to "O" word!.)
On the topic of sugar content in desserts, I made Cinnamon rolls that I felt were too sweet and I just needed them out of my house (im known to feel sick when eating too much of something sweet) so I sent them with my husband to share at work. One of his coworkers told my husband that he liked that the Cinnamon rolls were not too sweet. I was floored. Our tolerance for sweet builds very fast. One time I cut out all sugars for a week so I became sensitive to sweet flavors and plain almonds tasted sweet to me. It was the most fascinating thing.
I moved to the US from Europe 15 years ago. Had a hard time with desserts because they were so sweet. I remember traveling to Canada and getting a mocha with whipped cream - threw it out after the second sip.
I live in Canada, but I was born in South Africa. I find chocolate, sweets, cake, etc here sickeningly sweet.
@spirals 73 isn't it really amazing? I actually often eat a piece of lettuce (romaine) while I'm fixing a sandwich, I totally know what you mean by it being sweet. It worries me that all these hyper-palatable foods created by these large food companies which utilize food science is ruining most people's relationship to natural food. Eating them can ruin the experience of more simple foods to the point the natural foods really taste bad. It's similar to how if you have a box of chocolates it's best to eat the dark chocolate before the milk chocolate because the other way around isn't as enjoyable (if you're eating both types in one sitting).
And fast food was a rare treat back then and the portion sizes were much smaller. So over time more fast food and processed junk with added sugar, fat, and salt. All you need are an extra 50 or 100 Calories a day and each year you'll add 4 or 5 pounds. Say this starts when you are 30 by the time you're 40 you'll be entering obese territory and it will just keep getting worse unless you do something about it.
When I was a child in the 1950's we were blessed with healthy food for dinner made by my mom. Eating out was almost never. Now we don't take the time to make simple healthy meals and sit down together. Glad I was a child then.
So true. I work 6 days a week and we still provide egg breakfast for the kids, soup and apples for lunch and a home cooked dinner. I am Ukrainian so it's normal for me but yes nowadays it's a blessing
I was a 70's child and have a SAHM who made us dinner every night. We did eat pizza on Saturdays but the food was mom and pop shop and fresh. I'm glad I grew up that decade.
I only eat what I cook.
same! Only ate out a few times a year when we travelled. Having a milkshake was a huge but rare treat!
Some industrial pollutants & pesticides are hormone disrupting like micro-plastics, that cause hormone disregulation or imbalance that make people hungry. Not getting enough sleep makes people hungry, as does chronic stress! So light & sound pollution cause obesity!
I am so glad I woke up when it came to my wieght before it was too late. November 15th 2021 I weighted in at 400lbs. I changed my eating habits. I actually eat way more food then I did before. But now I eat whole fresh foods and I workout 5 days a week today I weigh 275lbs on February 1st 2023. If you find foods you like and you understand how you got fat you can change it. I now no longer can even stand the smell of the fast foods that I loved. Now I am not at my goal but I am heading there. The biggest thing I did learn is when you stumble or things don't go great you have to access what your doing make some changes and keep chugging along. Keep your eye on the goal and don't forget why you wanted this change!
Before I quit sugar, cold turkey .. the hardest thing I've ever done .. I would go into fits of rage if I could not go get a candy bar .. literal sugar mind control. Now, not joking .. just the smell of an unwrapped candy bar makes me nauseous. I was never obese, but I was developing a bit of a loose tummy, and a bit of a saggy butt. Since quitting sugar, and canola oil, and processed foods, and making sure I don't eat anything that is not loaded with fiber.. I am in my mid 40s, 5ft 7in, and 116 lbs, no flab anywhere, lean & muscular, with MAJOR inflammation reduction. We have all been duped into ingesting death by food companies, the FDA, the government ... literally we have been being force fed early death .. and I'm one of the 'living proof'. Thank you for putting this documentary out there
How did you manage to give up sugar? I am finding it very challenging to give up!
For 6 months, I've been eating leafy greens and protein. Drinking water with lemon and apple cider vinegar. Going to gym 5 days a week.
Wow!. I'm never tired, I've lost 10kg of body fat. The benefits are great.
All*things,what is your protein source ?
Very grateful to this man for putting himself put there for us to see him go thru his journey ❤ He handles things with humor and a smile, but he is right its scary. 😮❤ It's scary that we dont see that we are one with nature, and should be living in symbiosis with nature. Instead we are overcomsuming and ruining the environment that is us. We are the environment and the environment is us.
The ridiculous thing is that this guy doesn't look out of place on the street. Yes, he's overweight, but most people his age are and we've grown accustomed to that... it's the new normal. 1/3 of his liver is fat. Wow.
Same thing in the medical industry. Some guy from puerto rico who had a youtube channel about nutrition and health had great advice on how to get better. Some years ago he said that pharaceutical companies are not in the business of curing you but to make you constantly take pills to "feel better" and this he quoted from a novel price winner. Last year he was talking about a releasing a book on how to prevent and possibly cure cancer and lo and behold somehow he fell off a 9 story high balcony.
Very interested in his story any idea what his name was RIP to him

I began to change my diet in April 2022 by eating a more whole foods, plant-based diet. I don't eat dairy, oils, processed foods, eggs, beef and pork. I will eat a small portion of chicken, turkey or fish, but not daily. And I eat a lot of beans, grains and fruit. Since my change, I've lost 75 pounds. No exercise.
So you eat soft boiled eggs?
