I eat everything, even its a bit off. Don't eat mango, that shit is gross. Sometimes I will be eating something and somebody will say can I have some, and I am like no, you will get sick, it's off. They will say, but you are eating it, and I am like yeah I can tolerate it, you can't.
Having grown up with a bodybuilder/health nut Dad I learned about organic food and eating healthy from an early age. But I've tried just about every diet over the decades....
Currently what's working (at 65) is intermittent fasting 20/4 with plenty of clean animal protein, local veggies, some fruits,, bone broths, and some rice and corn, no bread or wheat products. Doing this I've overcome several chronic issues and it's improved my quality of life a lot. Oh, and I find that some of the locally handmade cheeses here in (our new home) Oaxaca are things I can eat, in moderation. Food just seems fresher and more local here and it's helping us feel a lot better.
Vegan is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle where you try and cause the least harm to animals, by not eating, wearing, exploiting animals. Otherwise plant based is a more correct description.
I turned 60 last year and have learned since that the perfect diet is not a diet, but a way of life. I now prepare all my food, largely plant based, nothing processed and as a result, I’ve lost 30 lbs, I’m working out like I did 25 years ago, I feel good, my bloodwork is remarkably, I’m off BP meds and most importantly, I look so damn good. That said, what brand are those incredible new frames…I must have them.
Everyone needs to figure out what works for them.
@@ChittarupaYoga Super trooper!
Thanks for some sensibility in a wild n crazy field.
I've eaten vegetarian on and off most of my life, I'm 69 now of British/Irish descent. I've been 99% Whole Food Plant diet for 6 years now, and I lean heavily on asian foods...rice, tofu, sweet potatoes, kimchi, greens, miso and a regular amount of oats, seeds, nuts and avocado. My body is THRIVING on this plant diet, that is far far away from the British/Irish diet. So, the great grandparent hypothesis doesn't always work. Beef has always (since childhood) caused me a very upset stomach.
jmdes, it seems that you are depriving yourself of lentils, that provide protein. plz add them to your diet. you could find good lentil recipes on channel FOOD FUSION, they have recipes in text form too in english. And do add eggplant (baigan in urdu) to your diet, its a very healthy vegetables. You could find good eggplant recipes on hindi food channels, like aloo baigan, baigan ki sabzi. Aloo is potato. take care. Seemi from Virginia.
I’m also 69, This sounds as a way of eating that I would really LIKE to eat, but I’ve been reading so much on how I should eat animal protein and so on… I’m so confused …
@@seemva I eat lentils often, possibly every week. Eggplant…I could add more of, the quality of eggplant at our markets is erratic. Thanks for the suggestions.
@@Mia-rn2gk keep a balance. Too much animal protein affects kidneys in the long run, I mean too much animal protein a day. balance is best. Food fusion youtube channel has good recipes in written english on chicken, fish, beef, lentils. Check DHABA STYLE CHANNA DAL, or any dal recipe. Check MURGH CHOLAY, which is chicken and chickpeas recipe. Check ALOO GOSHT which is meat with potators. Eggplant is called baigan in hindi or urdu recipes. look for baigan recipes. good luck @Mia-rn2gk @Mia-rn2gk
@@Mia-rn2gk you should go on and eat that way if you would want that, it's much better for you, scientific studies show that it's actually the opposite, animal protein is shown to be detrimental for health and health outcomes are better when animal potein is replaced with plant protein, you can google the following codes to see some examples of the many scientific studies "47/5/1603/4924399" , "PMID: 32699048" , "PMID: 11034231" , "PMID: 32076944" , "PMID: 29555333" , "PMID: 31682257" , most people have no clue about nutrition like upright health and just promote their own preference/agenda/false belief, most doctors also don't know anything about nutrition, it's not really part of their medical studies, if you want the most likely to be correct approach then act in accordance to the majority of proper scientific studies
A couple decades ago I had the unfortunate circumstance of having to have a kidney stone removed. The urologist made a statement afterward that has served me well (as in, no repeats of stones). He said, "Don't worry about how much you drink. Just make sure you are passing a minimum of 1 liter per day."
Thank god someone who is rational about water consumption! This varies so much by person & also how much water is in the foods you eat throughout the day. People are ridiculous about water intake.
You have become our only source of how to become healthy and be happy. Keep it up, you are literally changing lives for the better!
wow, thanks for the kind words! :)
This is great advice! We all have the responsibility to work this out through experimentation and observation. What works for me may not work for you, and getting hung up on ideology and excessive generalizations is a good way to miss out on optimizing your health. Nobody will be your champion like you yourself.
Yes. So smart and such good advice. I’ve done some tangent diets, for “healthy lifestyle .” But I’ve come back to your practical recs. Feed the body YOU have. Move. Rest. Hydrate. It’s refreshing to hear “be real, not trending “ applied to the body.
How much liquid per day? The advice I find easy to follow is to drink enough liquids to keep my pee pale. For my body, that also means no alcohol snd no caffeine. Love the advice to do what works best for your own body.
I've been following WPBV SOS-free. Originally, I started because of my heart. Everything else just fell into place with that. I am healthier, stronger, more clear-headed, more energetic than I have been in years. Along the way, my diabetes fell back under control. I now weigh less than I have ever as an adult (5. 4", 71 yrs, 112 lbs). Luckily, I don't have any special food intolerances although milk products don't agree with me. No, I do not bother with vegan products like non-dairy cheese (and do not miss cheese at all). I do all my own cooking and food prep. I love my own cooking.
Speaking more holistically, you have helped me strengthen myself so I can now walk, hike, and bike again, while also building muscle strength to fight muscle loss and strengthen bones to fight osteopenia. More recently, I have worked my daily routine to incorporate jogging. My back and core strength are very, very much improved.
Because, you see, at the end of the day, it isn't just about "diet," water, or a gym work. It's holistic. Everything effects everything else. It's about "lifestyle."
Informative video! 👍 please keep your blurbs up a bit longer so that we can read them. Thanks for sharing this information. 💕🌴😎
I think any way of eating that works for you and has you reducing highly processed food is positive.
Thank you for a common sense approach to healthy eating and hydration. I don't feel thirsty, ever, but have learned to sip water regularly, and to drink some water when I "feel" hungry as well, and that has helped me stay hydrated. Thanks for a great video.
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I agree that there is no "perfect diet" and you should find what works best for your body. Registered Dietitians don't advocate for these diet trends but work with people to find a balanced eating plan that works for them and their lifestyle. Please don't forget about your RDNs when it comes to nutrition advice. As for water, we no longer advise 8 cups a day as our bodies are different and you have to take that into account as well as your lifestyle. I agree with your thoughts on keeping water handy and going by thirst. And while not everyone has a strong thirst reflex (especially as we get older), a good way is to look at the color of your pee. If it is dark yellow you are likely dehydrated.
Glad you work with people to find what works for them. My history with dieticians has been horrible. Maybe it is because they were primarily related to medically managed weight loss practices, but I think they served others in the hospital as well. I ate a really "healthy" diet and would gain weight, I'd eat bunches of junk food and drop weight. They couldn't seem to understand that I wanted to be lighter AND feel good rather than just look good. I felt horrible on thd junk food, but the healthy food wasn't healthy for me and caused inflammation and gut issues. Still working on it, but that was probably the closest I could get to some of my disordered eating practices looking back. Still working on it.
Thank you so much for this video- both the diet and water advice are great
Such sensible advice about water and hydration, you really don’t need to measure input unless you’re an athlete or in a medical setting
Wonderfully said...and thanks for all the ways you've fixed my upper back over the last 2 years
Eating what our elders did is a key point.
They've already tried and tested many foods and found what works for them, (likely us).
Sensible advice. TY!
Love your content
At 70 years, I spent lifetime on variety of lo-meat / lo-fat / vegetarian / rawfood diets. I was also an avid runner and always felt bloated and/or constipated. Then I tried lo-carb keto diet and my bloating and constipation disappeared.
As a Vegan, I can testify with100% certainty that the Weston Price Nourising Traditions diet is the best.
well said - thank you
The best diet I have found is low carb and eating quality proteins and fat with non starchy vegetables. Great for my health and vitality. Plant based diet people seem less robust and healthy because of lack of protein and the dependence on sugar and low quality seed oils.
What a great video! We are all so different but what really matters is for us to minimize or eliminate vegetable oils, sugar and chemicals like glyphosates on our foods!
I personally thrive on carnivore but anyone could improve their health if they just ate whole foods, not processed foods.
Things I learned from this video and comment section:
1. You have a very common sense, listen to your body approach for fuel in addition to mechanics.
2. Nutrition seems to be a great way for people to get political quickly, and that people who are the loudest typically don't have a viewpoint based on listening to what their own bodies have to say.
3. My history with not knowing what my body was trying to tell me has made it very triggering to have people slamming listening to your/my body because eating something they don't (usually but not always meat) makes you unethical/horribly inhumane/stupid/ignoring science (not that it does, but people cherry pick what fits their narritive)/ignorant of history/etc.
4. I would be better off if I stopped reading comments as soon as I come across an absolute (always, never, etc). Typically the benefit from that point forward is slim and the triggering possibility is much greater.
Thanks!
Much appreciated.
Just eat clean: grass fed or wild caught proteins, organic veggies. Going on 3 weeks and feel great. Seltzer only. No sugars no processed crap! I also eat a lot of organic sauerkraut and am growing my own garden.
You want pasture fed (50% legume, 30% herb, 20% grass, maybe some tree or thereabouts) straight up grass fed is worse than feedlot
Ty ❤
The beautiful thing about our bodies is we often know exactly what foods we need in our bodies
But a lot of guesswork is added when addictive foods, junk foods, convenience foods, are thrown into the mix, and you have to ask yourself...
Do I really need "this" food? And what food do I really need?
There are foods for all sorts of diets that can contribute to weight loss, muscle gain, increased brain activity, and healing. Learn what foods do what, and learn more about the foods you eat.
They're not all bad. Sometimes we just eat too much of something. Portions are the best thing to keep in mind with diets.
It's a good idea to try new things, but definitely incorporate new menu items gradually into your life, rather than going all in on it. Use what you know works. As an adult, we have gotten this far eating whatever it is we eat. Trust your gut, but use your head, too.
Yeah, it's how you feel when the food is absorbed. Might feel good in the mouth, but if you feel sluggish later, not really what you want
Please send follow along video for hip
40 years plant based now eating a species appropriate Carnivore diet and thriving.
Best advise out there on the subject. Thanks. And, thanks for the water drinking break down. So many directives out there...drink THIS much! Also, the product barrage is relentless. AG1, Kachava, etc. All those powders..yikes! Just eat good organic food, that hasn't been poisoned.
Am now carnivore for a year… much calmer tummy, no inflammation.
1:35. Swapping one processed food for another just because of a diet label. It's still processed food.
Want follow along video
I recommend studying the gut microbiome… such as the book Fiber Fueled. It seems
like plant-based eaters and animal-based eaters both do well, and that’s because of their gut microbiome. The gut’s microbiota are adapted to what it needs to digest. That’s why transitions need to happen slowly to give new microbiota a chance to proliferate.
Note: The chemicals released from the microbiota are different for each. Plant-based foods ultimately reduce inflammation. Animal-based foods in the human body are inflammatory and acid forming…thus causing harm in the long run. Humans (a primate) have the anatomy and physiology of plan-eaters, and the continuous bombardment of animal products will cause disease.
Carnivore works best for me. Doing great at 60, able to work a strenuous full-time job outdoors
We each need to quit listening to the fads and find what works for our own bodies.
You are right. There is no universal diet. I am doing well with a low carb/keto no dairy
Drink as much water as is needed for your output. The Lord created animals for us how good!
I think you adapt to what you were fed as a child, and it's harder to adapt later in life. If you go to China and start talking about your food intolerances, what would they say? Lol
Well, since traditional Chinese diets don't include cheese and milk...there's a lot fewer potential clashes. interestingly, Japan is currently seeing a huge rise in food allergies. Not sure if it's the case in China...
If you have issues that require you to drink lots of water (kidney stuff/stones) then you probably know how much you should be drinking from your urologist.
Carnivore.
❤🥩
We are the same frugirove species tho, so there are foods that are perfect for humans, fruit.
The perfect diet from the point of view of animals is vegan. Raw or cooked is fine, as long as you're not hurting animals.
It's perfect for causing a lot of problems, a lot of pain and inflammation for many people. I'm glad vegan helps you.
I was vegan for 10 years and on Dec 23 I changed totally to carni…never felt better!
Seal Blubber ! 😅😅😅😅
Animal based carnivore
For my fellow African Americans.... don't eat what your grandparents are please 😂😂. Same goes for my Native American brothers and sisters. Oppressed people of the 20th century ate a lot of unhealthy foods.
Japanese and Italians live long surely not despite their meat consumption - just look at India, an overly veg-populace. But granted, there is a change of income and all around life quality.
India has a very high rate of diabetes because of having a vegetarian diet. So not so healthy
In Italy we eat lots of meat
No holy cow in Italy 😅
I was raised on the standard western diet high in animal products like meat, dairy and eggs. I also formed the standard western diseases. I’ve reversed some diseases and continue to improve on a whole food plant-based vegan diet. If anyone wants to try it, transition slowly to give your gut microbiota a chance to adapt.

As a word of encouragement, your body doesn’t hate you regarding dairy. Lactose intolerance is normal, and most of the world is lactose “intolerant.” Humans are weened from breast milk as toddlers, and the body has a natural mechanism to turn off lactose tolerance. A genetic mutation originating from the northern European area is what gives future generations the ability to tolerate lactose.
We are not designed to consume breast milk from another species. It’s ridiculous. And the dairy industry is one of the most abusive on top of that. Unethical all around.
The truth is that in the modern world, eating truly healthy is a luxury that most cannot afford.
If you choose to go vegan or a stricter form of vegetarian, you will save A LOT of money not buying meat. By far the cheapest way to go is a diet centered around legumes and grains (think beans and rice).
@@lauribleu7558 i’m not talking only about money but about the time it takes to prepare well balanced meals that are fresh, tasty, and healthy.
Keep in mind this: that all large, historical, successful populations ate primarily starch-based whole food vegetable diets with only occasional small amounts of meat or fish. These diets were the largest percentage potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, legumes, rice, grains, etc. and a smaller amount of vegetables and fruit. If they ate meat, it was generally 2 or 3 times a week in small amounts of approximately a few tablespoons. No trolls please. Check out the facts before commenting.
TRUE TRUE TRUE!!
Inuits? 100% meat & fat diet.
I am not sure how well adapted to grass we are, grains and sugars from grasses don't really seem the best for metabolic health. If a little bit more meat helps you stay lean, it can't be bad
My immediate ancestry is from North of the Arctic Circle. It's dark and frozen several months during winter -- as in, the sun barely peeks above the horizon. Nothing can grow. Dietary Mainstays were fish pickled & salted, elk, beef, dairy cheese & yogurt, lamb, rye as crackers and bread, eggs, carrots, parsnips, beets, cabbage/kraut wild berries, rare honey & mead, pork, and for the last 400 years or so, potatoes.
Salad? Beans? Rice? Pasta? Tomatoes? Cukes? Sweet potatoes? Watermelon? No, never. Never even ate that growing up in the US, since parents never bought it. None of that grew "in the old country", and until the past decades, it wasn't imported there either.
None of that is a "natural diet" for me -- or my kids. Meat & fish, a few root veg and a rye cracker covered in butter -- that's my healthy diet 😄. NOT starch based. Meat based.
It's fairly well known among those who study archaeology that human adult height averages drop when a group switches to a diet with lots of grain (farming) instead of mostly meat and non-grain vegetables (hunter-gatherer). It's harder to track, but I believe metabolic syndrome diseases increased at the same time.
I'm of Central European ancestry, with Type 2 diabetes common in my family. My ideal diet is low, not zero carb, with a variety of meats, fish, dairy and non-starchy vegetables. A little bit of grain is fine, maybe a tablespoon here and there. I would never suggest others eat this way (except maybe my adult kids), all I can say is it works for me.
Dr John McDougall says we are starchivores-his greatest book is The Starch Solution. If you want info on whole food low fat veganism, please see Chef AJ since she is interviewing everyone knowledgeable on this subject, with lots of recipes (also w none of the unhealthy transition items you referenced).
Maybe starch from legumes or tubers, I find starch sourced from grass grains is not the best for metabolic health. Starch from herb seeds like buckwheat also seems pretty good
McDougall is legit.
@@brucejensen3081 you’re so exacting! Never really thought about starches that way, very interesting. (Remember the Rice Diet research and cures from the past when there were no meds for hypertension-it was really restrictive though.)
My day isn't complete until I see an animal in a lighthearted way, in a video
I do waaaaaay better on whole foods plant based. I start eating meat and dairy and I get massively increased inflammation.
Vegan
veganism saved my life15 years ago. i was getting all the stroke symptoms and agonizing constipation. i have stroke and colon cancer in my fam history. never healthier at nearly 62. i think most cooking oils r bad too.
Fruit based fruit for 14 years
Well, I agree with your overall sentiment that nutrition is individual. I think you took this too far to suggest that we should just blindly limit ourselves to whatever our body seemingly digest best we know that we are able to train our bodies to better digest food if we expose our body to those foods in a controlled and gradual manner. It’s a bit like saying some people should only run while others should only lift…we need to find the balance between what we are capable of and what we can train our bodies to handle. The more diversity in our diet, the better for our guts.
Our bodies are not meant to eat plants period.
However, eating beef, pork, lamb, venison, and quite a lot of seafood is always going to be bad for the environment.
That is far from true. The worse thing for the environment is crops. The biggest food waste on earth is Potatos, fruits, and vegetables.
Some would argue that the roundup sprayed on the mass produced grains and veg these days are worse than some grass-fed cows that are naturally regenerating the soil if grazed correctly.
@@GarudaLegends I don't know where you got that from, but growing crops to feed inefficient cows is not a good way of ensuring that everyone on Earth gets enough food without chopping down additional swathes of rainforest.
@@lafamillecarrington that is not the reality. The biggest food waste on earth is Potatos, fruits, and veggies. The feed livestock eat is only limited to a few crops like soy and corn. The soy and corn for example is grown primarily for human consumption and livestock get the waste as by products that is unedible to humans for feed. Cows don't eat potatoes, fruits, and vegetables like all other livestock.
We actually need less crops, better food distribution, and can have more land for cow grazing in regenerative agriculture. Are you a vegan?
@@GarudaLegends No. But I have read quite a lot about this. Look up, for example, the data scientist Hannah Ritchie.
Let me start by saying that your channel is chock full of excellent information. However, while I agree that vegan cheese is highly processed, dairy cheese is hardly a naturally occurring food, nor is it a healthy food. You also came across, to me at least, as anti-vegan. I eat a plant based diet for ethical reasons and definitely have some GI issues because of certain foods, but I’m not about to start eating meat because of it. As one of your other commenters mentioned, perhaps you should avoid expounding on nutrition.
Many former vegetarians have found out that eating that way did our bodies a world of hurt over the years. Still recovering my hormonal issues 20 years later (it took almost 10 for them to actually be figured out, and Im just still working on fixing them). You get to choose what works for you and whether you listen to your body or not. Just because it doesn't line up with your religious belief doesn't mean the rest of us have to feel like crap for your religion. He is just saying that listening to your body should be what you consider doing rather than all the gimmicky fad diets or the huge population of people saying you have to be vegan or carnivore right now.
One of the things that cropped up for me as I'm trying to fix the issues was histamine intolerance. I have repeatedly been amazed by the patterns. Some people do well on vegan, some people do well on carnivore. Some do well on something in the middle. The ones on either end of the spectrum tend to very solidly align with root causes. If you have low stomach acid (often caused by micronutrient deficiencies or certain gut problems), you do better more towards the plant based end of the spectrum. If you have issues that cause you to have issues with lectins, oxolates, or salicylates, you typically lean over to the carnivore side of the spectrum because if you have lectin issues you likely react to most grains and legumes, oxolates are high in most nuts, and salicylate is in seemingly any plants, lol. I'm only semi kidding on that one and thankful I haven't reacted to those at this point.
Just from a non-biased viewpoint, if you have issues with certain things and don't want to change your diet, you should probably take note of what makes you feel bad and what the symptoms are and work on a solution sooner rather than later. I was only a vegetarian for 6 years, and if I had known then what was going on I probably could have fixed the issues and been healthy. Google is very helpful in understanding issues with certain foods, and micronutrient testing can be a bit expensive, but can make for easy fixes for certain things if they are just lacking in your diet.
@@GoingGreenMom I don’t believe I said anything about anyone having to feel like crap for my “religion,” as you put it. You do you. I just felt that Matt went overboard on the whole vegan cheese thing.
you should stay in your lane, you have absolutely no clue about nutrition and the thought of ethics in regards to food choices and consumerism seems to not even cross your mind...
Biology is complex, just cause it's not fully understood, doesn't mean nobody should talk about it
He gave common sense advice to listen to your body and eat what makes you feel good and not eat what doesn't and to ignore the inundation of fake nutritional information that has shown up to guilt or shame people for not eating the way the authors eat. Having been on multiple sides of this, he totally stayed in his lane by saying to listen to your body and answer a question from a viewer.
The best diet is an omnivore diet avoiding processed foods. The worse diets are the vegan diet and a standard western diet. The most ethical meal is an omnivore meal that is local. Better for health and the environment.
@@GoingGreenMom what makes a person feel good initially is very often not in accordance with health markers... people crave junk food and overeating, smokers crave cigarettes, alcolihcs crave alcohol etc.the "listen to your body" advice while ignoring science will not achieve the best health results at all
@@GarudaLegends wrong
Thanks mate but meat is the only way as God created the animal for us to fully use including clothes boom!
Carnivore.
