After years of watching all I can on nutrition, this has got to be the best interview I've seen! This interview nailed exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! ❤
When he talked about the weight to diabetes threshold it really resonated with me because I've noticed the same thing but for my blood pressure. It doesn't matter how healthy the food I eat is, if my weight goes past a certain point the BP shoots up. Knowing your own thresholds and not adhering to a diet dogma is good advice.
I'm still on my journey that started 28 years ago. These types of interviews and stories help to reinforce my journey in a very positive and meaningful way. Thanks to both of you for helping me and others to better ourselves and hopefully make this world a better place.
Hey buddy, just wanted to let you know my dad reversed his type 2 diabetes by strength training and switching to a WFPB diet. Heavy compound lifts 3-4 days a week, and eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant proteins like lentils, beans, tofu etc. You got this !
This was such a good way to explain why you should not identify yourself to a type of diet but instead you should be focusing on what your body needs healing in their body.
Also, I’ve been a binge eater since childhood and plant based for 7 years. Yes, two totally different issues. I have no problem avoiding animal products, but the salt, fat, sugar that is plant based beckons. Refreshing to hear from you sir and about your journey as I heal myself. Thank you 🙏🏻
Most people do not understand binge eating unless they have had binge urges. They can be so intense and pervasive. But even so only we can face them. Once I realised this, that it is down to me, it helped a lot. God luck to you!
There's an excellent book I've read... Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us We are hooked on salt, sugar and fat. These three simple ingredients are used by the major food companies .... Once you know how sos hooks you in can help your psychology to understand what's going on. Break the cycle of addiction.
Gosh, this is one of the best plant based videos i have ever seen. This is really important work your doing. Im not even diabetic but there is so much for me to unpack here. Wheeew...i am mind blown.❤❤❤
It's great to see Joe again and know that he is doing well. As a perimenopausal woman, I have fallen into a similar diet of predominantly fruit, vegetables, and vegan protein. I can't eat bread or other refined grains without putting on weight and getting seriously bloated. Not being diabetic, I do eat root vegetables and have one serve of brown rice per day.
What bother me is those specialist like Dr Bernard and Dr McDougall always talk and preach like they're point of view is the only one that work. I dare to say that they are biased by their success. Problem is, this success is not everyone. This guy really get that and stay humble all the way. Thank you. This was soooo validating.
I believe Dr. Barnard and Dr. McDougall say the truth, many millions of people have been on those diets for thousands of years and it's worked. Nothing new. It's the dirty, processed, junk, fat countries that don't believe it, it's usually the newer countries that have issues with diets.
Just remember Dr. Sebi. He went to mexico to get healed. How? By common sense!! He was told he had to go back to the diet of his ancestors from Africa to heal, and he did!! I believe the diabetic gentleman may have African genes, so that could be his way to better health, by consuming the diet of his ancestors. Dr. Sebi explains it very well and he learned it from a mexican naturopath, a place where healing thru PLANTS is a no brainer and is common practice .
So much just plain good common sense, communicated in such a straightforward sensible way. I especially appreciate the binge eating connection which has been my struggle for years. THANK YOU so much, Joe.
I really appreciate this interview. Very timely. I've been vegan for 5 years now and I'm struggling with weight. I have cravings for salt, sugar and fat. I feel hopeless sometimes. This motivated me greatly. Thank you

Hi, have you looked into fasting? It's very effective for weight control and disease prevention. There is a great interview with Alan Goldhamer on the Rich Roll podcast that you might find useful. Best of luck
U never went through the fat withdrawal. U need to do this, then u won't crave fats any longer. Then when u look in the magic mirror u won't see greasy face or hair anymore
I liked his take on diabetes being a reaction. From one of the plant based movies: “colon cancer is a food borne illness.” That has stayed with me ever since. Most of our metabolic and inflammatory “diseases” are simple food borne illnesses.
Food poisoning is a food-borne illness. Cancer on the other hand is a complex type of disease with genetic and environmental factors that increase, decrease, or do nothing for the risk of developing it.
I am watching Joe for the first time and I will explore more of his content later. Every word he said in this video is correct and also honest. I totally agree on all the chapters that he has spoken. I can connect with him very well and several other individuals will also connect with him. It's a very long and dynamic journey to arrive at the destination of understanding food. When it comes to carbability I would like to suggest Foxtail Millet, Kodo Millet, Little Millet, Barnyard Millet and Browntop Millet . Yes , these millets require to be soaked for about 6 to 12 hours before cooking them. Do not compromise on the soaking time. Good going. Take care Joe.
"Meat & two veg" is British tradition but once go plant based there's no limits. My sister is always wondering what our centre piece is (meat) but we don't need those limitations. Everything is centre piece if it's a plant.
@@gsp0819kri I still aim to eat plant-based, My bp, hr and cholestrol are good because i do lots of aerobic and resistance exercise. Targeting sedentary behaviour may reduce the risk of obesity and poor lifestyle choices.
Love this story! I’m trying to prevent type2. Funny how doctors still say meat meat meat and give patients burgers and steak after open heart surgery (family not me). Literally, while in the hospital.
Wait what, which doctors are recommending lot‘s of meat after an coronary event?😮 At the clinic where I‘m working at the moment, patients with cardiovascular diseases are getting the Mediterranean diet and are taught how to cut down on meat and saturated fat as well as refined carbs. Burgers and fries are the opposite of that.
Yes and tell us increase our protein intake as we age. Idk bout the UK but most Americans kidneys are already struggling from environmental and emotional and financial stress and don't work out nearly enough to stuff more protein down their throats. If anything they need to be fasting/incorporating periods of digestive rest so they can actually absorb the nutrition from their food. Telling a 50 year old woman going thru menopause just eat more protein (usually animal protein) is not the answer for everyone. There's multiple reports of people dying or almost dying or flaring up of other diseases from Doctors putting them on high protein diets cuz their kidneys couldn't handle it.
Agreed, there is 0 prove that the elderly need higher protein intake, they fare best with resistance training. This is what they usually really need. @@loryndabenson2118
I feel I'm in the exact same boat as Joe, the steamer meals of above ground veggies are the only thing that ever works for me. No matter how strict I keep to the other diets, I still stay stay or gain weight. Thanks Joe, you're a true inspiration.
This resonates so strongly for me. I binge on potato chips and can't stop, no matter how much I know I shouldn't. It's not sticking to plant-based, or even low fat, UNTIL I feel like snacking and I reach for the chips, which undoes all the progress I've made. They are so unhealthy with salt and oil. So I've just realized my issue isn't just the T2, it's a binge eating problem as well.
Switch to the low fat 80% less fat chips & then do the withdrawal & stop. Once u go through the fat withdrawal u won't crave grease anymore. Takes 3 weeks up to a couple months for some people
What are the 80% less fat chips? Stress, mainly work stress, triggers me to grab chips and eat til the bag is gone. Would love to find a less demanding field to work in but financially, it's the only paycheck in the household so I'm stuck for now. I have no problem with sweets so that's never been an area of struggle for me. It's the salty crunchy. I've eliminated most all dairy (cheese on occasion) and I'm down to only 1 meat and that is chicken on occasion. Don't hate on me yet as I'm a work in progress. Being honest here...there are some REALLY MEAN vegans out there. I still can't get over one vegan girl's saying to me that I am "supporting queen bees being raped" if I use honey. This video opened my eyes to the addiction journey.
@@bamatina777 We are all on a journey, don't take the haters to heart. None of us is perfect. Sounds to me like you have made tremendous progress. If you have a bad eating day, just start the next day fresh and don't look back. Keep at it!
Thank you both! I LOVED and was so inspired by Joe and this video. Just put your own infliction in place of diabetes if it's not that, and carry on! Know thyself.
On this idea of “carbability,” taking the fat out of your diet doesn’t immediately take the fat off the body. You have to eat fewer calories for some time before you lose body fat so that that all your cells aren’t stuffed with fat anymore. It’s the cells being plum-full of fat and being overweight that reduces your carbability. Taking the fat out of the diet just makes it harder to add fat to the body. A caloric deficit is still required to lose the fat that’s been put on the body decade after decade. Continuously eating more calories than you need will ensure a person will never lose their bodyfat. The bodyfat has to be reduced to be able to properly handle carbohydrates and kill diabetes.
Fantastic program and he's so great to watch and listen to, he's so wise. "ENTERTAINMENT" instead of actual flesh, mushrooms and so many more veggies which entertains the mouth and brain, almost fleshy texture "modules". 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
For Prevention reasons, I enjoy learning about health and wellness. AHA MOMENT! listening to this testimony of healing! Depending on how insulin resistant a person is will determine how quickly you can add certain foods to your diet. 1. Test your blood sugar with certain foods. 2. If high, don't eat those foods at this moment 3. For 90 days, focus on lots of vegetables, plantbased proteins, and lower level of carbs 4. Retest with that same meal including that high carb meal and see if you have healed enough to start adding in more OR if you need to continue a little longer healing your cells and it's relationship with insulin. BONUS: HIIT workouts, even applied to walking will help and EXERCISE In General consistently to conquer blood sugar issues. Thank you Joe for sharing your story, and yes...enjoy the journey of life!!! it is a gift from our CREATOR GOD!
Spot on, Brother! It all comes down to figuring out what works for you, and to keep searching until you find what works for you. Having a desirable end in mind is all fine and good, but you also have to accept yourself in the here and now, and work with who you are in the present moment. As I long suspected, there are a lot of behavioral and psychological factors at play when attempting to pursue beneficial change. He's not the most eloquent person I have seen in the plant-based space, but he is by far the most intelligent and insightful. The push-pull between stimulation and satiation--what makes you feel good versus what makes you feel full--that's what I think that I have been missing in my own quest for improved health. Once again, it all comes back to behavioral and psychological dimensions (and let's not forget those social, cultural and economic cues, too!). Once again, excellent work, PBN!
This talk really puts things in perspective for me. So much sense. I read comments on a diabetic guru’s utube talk. One person ‘s diabetic response was sugar spikes on the high carb low fat diet. Now I know why. Thanks.
I'm only part way into his interesting interview, but he's exactly talking about me regarding the fact that I just DO NOT do well with adding truckloads of even quality carbs. My blood sugar skyrockets and the strict HCLF people tell me I'm imagining it or something. Despite being thin, I clearly have insulin resistance and cannot just jump 100% into eating 400 grams of carbs a day. I'm one of those unlucky people who have a very low weight threshold before becoming diabetic. I'm in the pre-diabetic range now carefully watching what little food I eat.
I'm a mustard fan too. :-D I commend him for listening to his own body and not self proclaimed diet "experts" who...often seem cult-like! A well-known vegan MD who touts HCLF diets secretly told me to go low carb vegan to get my blood sugar down.
Modify it however you need To. even the best advice from practitioners don't work for every single person. Personally I reversed my hypoglycemia immediately on high fruit diet melons work great for my body. Other people, maybe they need to stick to blueberries or currents . Even with implementing fasting. A lot of people say break your fasts with proteins and fats. That won't work for me. My gallbladder cannot handle a lot of fats even plant based. Why would I break my fast with avocados. My gallbladder will not like that. I break my fast with melons and I feel great. The next person may need to do something completely different. Anyway keep your head up. It takes time to heal and maintain. Have fun, experiment and experience. You can do it. It's ok to make mistakes that's part of the ride. ❤
@@jgrysiak6566 I only VERY rarely eat gluten free bread. My diet is whole food the vast majority of each day except for vegan protein powder in the morning.
Wow I remember him and all the drama. So glad he finally figured it out and never gave up. Way to go. Loved the bit about ex vegans too, so true. Thank you. Best wishes
What heals Diabetes ALSO heals Binge Eating. I healed my binge eating with the simple diet described in this video. A restricted healthy diet that gets rid of high carb foods and high fat food and only eats very very clean foods IS THE WAY TO CURE BINGE EATING. How can he say that simple foods do feed the binge eating cravings? It is not true. The processed foods do feed the binge eating. Low fat plants do NOT feed the binge eating cravings. Low fat and low sugar plant foods DO cure binge eating. His diet absolutely IS the way out of binge eating.
There's an excellent book I've read... Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us We are hooked on salt, sugar and fat. These three simple ingredients are used by the major food companies .... Once you know how sos hooks you in can help your psychology to understand what's going on. Break the cycle of addiction.
Great comments about fruitatian diets. Fruitarian never worked for me either. I just hate how fruitarian advocates push their diet as the be-all and end-all when it just isn't. Thinking that made me suck in obesity for years.
This is very helpful to hear. This is the diet that True North Health and Dr. Goldhammer and other doctors there teach. It’s strict but it works to reverse disease. Dr. Goldhammer calls it the Health promoting diet.
What about all of the stories of people curing themselves on carnivore? Or keto? Humans have always ate meat apparently and vegetarians need to supplement
@@nickmeale1957 Well they wouldn't lie . It's tons of people being cured that I read. Also, what about the fact that vegans have to supplement? There is a former vegan who said he was ill on the vegan diet. What about hunter gatherers and ancestrally appropriate diet? What about natives and tribes who lived and thrived off of bison, fish and seal?
Thanks for your story. Everybody should listen to how you explain the relationship between food and diabetes. So many claim the carbs or the fats. But like you explain it it‘s a combination of low quality carbs and fats. And great you talk about the individual level of insulin resistance and the connection to body fat. You don‘t have to be vegan or vegetarian to use that wisdom. I eat a low saturated fat low meat diet, basically the Mediterranean. I can agree to the principles you are explaining. CRP is an inflammation marker though, not specific. Could mean that you have an infection, but it can also be related to arteriosclerosis, rheumatic diseases and cancers. It‘s not specific. The vitamin D association was probably reverse causation. But I still take vitamin D in the winter.😅I don‘t get much sun. I would have never thought you are a fellow ADHD brain. But hey, I know the struggle. Diet helps though. I hate though when people claim it developed due to poor dietary choices or bad education. But it makes sense how you speak about stimulation. I do need to „spice up“ my household chores with music and need to stay away from overstimulation to be able to focus. Never applied that to food though🤔. I have to try that. I hope to prevent diabetes, there has been cases on my mothers side of the family. So I‘m all ears.
Wow! Glad we could connect on this interview. You got this. My advice to everyone is double teh greens. Just do massive veg action. Honestly its a game-changer. In the interview Klaus asked me why it took so long. I got distracted, the main answer is ADHD. Its as simple as that. You have urges stronger than others and less capacity to control them. I thought I was messed up until I got diagnosed and did the research. It did not make it easier but it did make it possible. Good luck!
Volter Longo FMD is similar and is very low protein, mostly plant based and it's high fat but low calories which improves the markers of insulin resistance, lipid oxidation, and senescence suggest the potential beneficial effects of FMD in type 2 diabetes.
This has been so interesting and encouraging. I'm 56 and have never had DM or been extremely overwt. I transitioned from Paleo to WFPB diet due to High chol in March. But have developed all kinds of joint pain, cravings, & fatigue that I've never had before. I have gained 15# and feel terrible. What effing gives? Must be too many grains, below ground veggies, beans, rice and potatoes.
Wow, didn't expect to see Joe here 😀 Met him in Chiang Mai years ago, a great personality. It is great to observe how his persistence in following the plant-based diet improved his health so much.
This video is bringing me to tears and also amazes me at the same time - as this is almost exactly what I did to lose a lot of weight. It is strange to see someone else who did the same as me 😂 Really enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Finally, someone is being honest and telling the truth! I’ve followed plain strong. I followed McDougall and Furman chef AJ, mastering diabetes, and they all perpetuate the big lie that you can eat as much food as you want. I can put away for cups of rice or six potatoes after a big salad and my blood sugar would reflect that, I am only 133 pounds. I exercise twice a day but my A1c is almost 8. I’ve been diabetic for 25 years and I couldn’t understand why the lowfat high carb diet dosent work for me. So grateful to you for your honesty and the part about follow your meter or not the vegan influencers is brilliant! I’ll be following you from now on, but my meter comes first!❤❤❤
I have watched this 3x now!! You have to too!! Now I understand what is going on in me - carbability seems to be my missing link! I was a Macrobiotic (for me similar to Veganism!)- I am on my way back there - thank you for your inspiration !!!! (my blood sugar and cholesterol is fine again 😂)
Great job... above ground vegetables can be better explained with non starchy vegetables though... Also Dr. McDougall might disagree with his diet plan :)
Geez man this guy really gets it and explains it so simply through his philosophy. I'm tired of hearing scientific jargon to explain plant based eating, I think we all are.
I think people are suggesting raw because the idea is that the food is to be eaten as it grows out of the ground. But we’re so clever that we’ve figured out how to mix and prepare our meals so that even an all-raw diet becomes hyper-palletable, making it impossible to stop eating before you’re stuffed. When you stuff your belly with food - even the healthiest food - you will begin eating again as soon as there’s room in your stomach. Then before you know it, you’ve eaten too many calories to get rid of bodyfat. Eating to satiation is the key. It’s just easier to stop eating before you’re stuffed if your food is eaten as it grows out of the ground - just the food. Not the food mixed with a million different things to make it more enjoyable. The food tastes good enough. If you’re overweight, and want to shed fat, consider eating all of your food plain without making it more enjoyable. God was too good to us. The food is just never good enough for people. Now there’s raw chocolate. Overeating is a massive issue. Plain white potatoes are already tasty enough. We’re not supposed to eat until we’re full - just until we’re no longer hungry. Now raw foodies are overweight; we play with our food too much. Eat foods plain, let your tastebuds adapt, and use that extra time to lift some weight and go for a walk. It’s a fabulous life. I know this video isn’t about losing bodyfat, I just never see anyone point this out in our plant community and it drives me nuts because once a person is on a healthy diet, the next problem is how to eat less. And no one addresses it. If this comment has offended you, I apologize. It’s not my aim. This is just the first video I’ve watched since putting these thoughts together. Loving this video. Very useful content 🙏🏻
In Buddhism (Theravada) the word for teacher is Ajahn, and so Ajahn Chah, the great Thai teacher would call suffering of various kinds Ajahn. So...Ajahn Diabetes...
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
Yes, you can reverse it in even less. Thats whats amazing. I took a long time because I could not stick to the plan. I not only reversed diabetes I reverse out of control eating of which diabetes is just one symptom.
Thank you! I will follow his advice. I eat whole food plant based with low fat and like it and feel very good but I just lost 25 kg in 2,5 years, which i didn't understand. I thought it could be because of thyroid and age. I will see😀

@@jgrysiak6566 Thank you for that. I honestly never thought of that. I will try it!
What are the 80% less fat chips? Stress, mainly work stress, triggers me to grab chips and eat til the bag is gone. Would love to find a less demanding field to work in but financially, it's the only paycheck in the household so I'm stuck for now. I have no problem with sweets so that's never been an area of struggle for me. It's the salty crunchy. I've eliminated most all dairy (cheese on occasion) and I'm down to only 1 meat and that is chicken on occasion. Don't hate on me yet as I'm a work in progress. Being honest here...there are some REALLY MEAN vegans out there. I still can't get over one vegan girl's saying to me that I am "supporting queen bees being raped" if I use honey. This video opened my eyes to the addiction journey.
@@bamatina777 We are all on a journey, don't take the haters to heart. None of us is perfect. Sounds to me like you have made tremendous progress. If you have a bad eating day, just start the next day fresh and don't look back. Keep at it!
@bamatina777 , Frito Lay makes 80% less fat chips & Doritos in U.S. They are also called baked chips. Don't know where u are!
Thanks for getting the plant based message out , appreciated.
What an awesome statement when you said that we all have to find what we can eat for our best health without triggering bingeing. Yes!❤
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
This man is spittin! Diabetes is a reaction to a man made diet. 👏🏾❤
Thank you both! I LOVED and was so inspired by Joe and this video. Just put your own infliction in place of diabetes if it's not that, and carry on! Know thyself.
On this idea of “carbability,” taking the fat out of your diet doesn’t immediately take the fat off the body. You have to eat fewer calories for some time before you lose body fat so that that all your cells aren’t stuffed with fat anymore. It’s the cells being plum-full of fat and being overweight that reduces your carbability. Taking the fat out of the diet just makes it harder to add fat to the body. A caloric deficit is still required to lose the fat that’s been put on the body decade after decade.
Continuously eating more calories than you need will ensure a person will never lose their bodyfat. The bodyfat has to be reduced to be able to properly handle carbohydrates and kill diabetes.
I so agree with this guy. The high carb vegan diet for us type 2s being pushed by vegan docs is totally wrong for us long term type 2s.
Fantastic program and he's so great to watch and listen to, he's so wise. "ENTERTAINMENT" instead of actual flesh, mushrooms and so many more veggies which entertains the mouth and brain, almost fleshy texture "modules".
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much brother. You’re God sent specially for me. I needed the specific. Wish I can connect with you to learn more 🙏
Awesome news. A Whole food Plant based diet is the best way to maintain your health.
💯
For Prevention reasons, I enjoy learning about health and wellness. AHA MOMENT! listening to this testimony of healing! Depending on how insulin resistant a person is will determine how quickly you can add certain foods to your diet. 1. Test your blood sugar with certain foods. 2. If high, don't eat those foods at this moment 3. For 90 days, focus on lots of vegetables, plantbased proteins, and lower level of carbs 4. Retest with that same meal including that high carb meal and see if you have healed enough to start adding in more OR if you need to continue a little longer healing your cells and it's relationship with insulin. BONUS: HIIT workouts, even applied to walking will help and EXERCISE In General consistently to conquer blood sugar issues. Thank you Joe for sharing your story, and yes...enjoy the journey of life!!! it is a gift from our CREATOR GOD!
Yes!
To people struggling at the moment, it doesn't have to be that way. You can thrive on a whole foods plant based diet 🌱
Because most of them never went through the fat withdrawal, that's why they still crave grease & fatty food
AMAZING 🎉!!!
Very inspirational..thank you for sharing your personal journey..a balanced whole food plant based diet is the best diet and lifestyle 🙏
Wonderful interview!!
Spot on, Brother! It all comes down to figuring out what works for you, and to keep searching until you find what works for you. Having a desirable end in mind is all fine and good, but you also have to accept yourself in the here and now, and work with who you are in the present moment. As I long suspected, there are a lot of behavioral and psychological factors at play when attempting to pursue beneficial change. He's not the most eloquent person I have seen in the plant-based space, but he is by far the most intelligent and insightful.
The push-pull between stimulation and satiation--what makes you feel good versus what makes you feel full--that's what I think that I have been missing in my own quest for improved health. Once again, it all comes back to behavioral and psychological dimensions (and let's not forget those social, cultural and economic cues, too!).
Once again, excellent work, PBN!
Congratulations Joe Best! That’s an amazing achievement !
This talk really puts things in perspective for me. So much sense. I read comments on a diabetic guru’s utube talk. One person ‘s diabetic response was sugar spikes on the high carb low fat diet. Now I know why. Thanks.
"Greatest tutor n coach for life"
So well said
I use to watch Joe when he was doing biking and all fruit diets.
Thanks for sharing your story ❤
Healthy eating is a skill! It doesn't come through force of will or in born talent, it comes from practice and repetition.
This was so very helpful! Thank you for sharing and caring.
"Diabetes- a reaction to manmade food." Truth
Addiction, major major point. Well said!
very outstanding step by step explanation esp for beginner, thank you Mr Joe ❤
I'm only part way into his interesting interview, but he's exactly talking about me regarding the fact that I just DO NOT do well with adding truckloads of even quality carbs. My blood sugar skyrockets and the strict HCLF people tell me I'm imagining it or something. Despite being thin, I clearly have insulin resistance and cannot just jump 100% into eating 400 grams of carbs a day. I'm one of those unlucky people who have a very low weight threshold before becoming diabetic. I'm in the pre-diabetic range now carefully watching what little food I eat.
I'm a mustard fan too. :-D I commend him for listening to his own body and not self proclaimed diet "experts" who...often seem cult-like! A well-known vegan MD who touts HCLF diets secretly told me to go low carb vegan to get my blood sugar down.
Yes it is tough for lean insulin resistance. But you can manage it. Find ways to make above-ground veg tasty. It works wonders. Good luck!
U must not eat any flour products, they are very glycemic @ 1500 calories a pound. Eat whole grains instead
Modify it however you need To. even the best advice from practitioners don't work for every single person. Personally I reversed my hypoglycemia immediately on high fruit diet melons work great for my body. Other people, maybe they need to stick to blueberries or currents . Even with implementing fasting. A lot of people say break your fasts with proteins and fats. That won't work for me. My gallbladder cannot handle a lot of fats even plant based. Why would I break my fast with avocados. My gallbladder will not like that. I break my fast with melons and I feel great. The next person may need to do something completely different. Anyway keep your head up. It takes time to heal and maintain. Have fun, experiment and experience. You can do it. It's ok to make mistakes that's part of the ride. ❤
@@jgrysiak6566 I only VERY rarely eat gluten free bread. My diet is whole food the vast majority of each day except for vegan protein powder in the morning.
Wow I remember him and all the drama. So glad he finally figured it out and never gave up. Way to go. Loved the bit about ex vegans too, so true. Thank you. Best wishes
Thank you
What heals Diabetes ALSO heals Binge Eating. I healed my binge eating with the simple diet described in this video.
A restricted healthy diet that gets rid of high carb foods and high fat food and only eats very very clean foods IS THE WAY TO CURE BINGE EATING.
How can he say that simple foods do feed the binge eating cravings? It is not true. The processed foods do feed the binge eating. Low fat plants do NOT feed the binge eating cravings. Low fat and low sugar plant foods DO cure binge eating. His diet absolutely IS the way out of binge eating.
There's an excellent book I've read... Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us
We are hooked on salt, sugar and fat. These three simple ingredients are used by the major food companies ....
Once you know how sos hooks you in can help your psychology to understand what's going on. Break the cycle of addiction.
U must go through the fat withdrawal to achieve success. U will never succeed eating processed food. Don't eat anything from a bag or a box
Great comments about fruitatian diets. Fruitarian never worked for me either. I just hate how fruitarian advocates push their diet as the be-all and end-all when it just isn't. Thinking that made me suck in obesity for years.
This is very helpful to hear. This is the diet that True North Health and Dr. Goldhammer and other doctors there teach. It’s strict but it works to reverse disease. Dr. Goldhammer calls it the Health promoting diet.
This has been so helpful ! ❤❤❤
"I'm having a yummy time" 20.22. LOL that's adorable
Plant based is the solution to all chronic diseases
Truth
Preach 🙏🏿
What about all of the stories of people curing themselves on carnivore? Or keto? Humans have always ate meat apparently and vegetarians need to supplement
@@underated17 do you seriously believe that? In all honesty, do you believe that?
@@nickmeale1957 Well they wouldn't lie . It's tons of people being cured that I read. Also, what about the fact that vegans have to supplement? There is a former vegan who said he was ill on the vegan diet. What about hunter gatherers and ancestrally appropriate diet? What about natives and tribes who lived and thrived off of bison, fish and seal?
It would be great to get more on the effects of exercise and blood sugar along with this approach x
Thanks for your story. Everybody should listen to how you explain the relationship between food and diabetes.
So many claim the carbs or the fats. But like you explain it it‘s a combination of low quality carbs and fats.
And great you talk about the individual level of insulin resistance and the connection to body fat.
You don‘t have to be vegan or vegetarian to use that wisdom.
I eat a low saturated fat low meat diet, basically the Mediterranean. I can agree to the principles you are explaining.
CRP is an inflammation marker though, not specific. Could mean that you have an infection, but it can also be related to arteriosclerosis, rheumatic diseases and cancers. It‘s not specific.
The vitamin D association was probably reverse causation. But I still take vitamin D in the winter.😅I don‘t get much sun.
I would have never thought you are a fellow ADHD brain. But hey, I know the struggle. Diet helps though. I hate though when people claim it developed due to poor dietary choices or bad education.
But it makes sense how you speak about stimulation. I do need to „spice up“ my household chores with music and need to stay away from overstimulation to be able to focus. Never applied that to food though🤔. I have to try that.
I hope to prevent diabetes, there has been cases on my mothers side of the family. So I‘m all ears.
Wow! Glad we could connect on this interview. You got this. My advice to everyone is double teh greens. Just do massive veg action. Honestly its a game-changer. In the interview Klaus asked me why it took so long. I got distracted, the main answer is ADHD. Its as simple as that. You have urges stronger than others and less capacity to control them. I thought I was messed up until I got diagnosed and did the research. It did not make it easier but it did make it possible. Good luck!
Volter Longo FMD is similar and is very low protein, mostly plant based and it's high fat but low calories which improves the markers of insulin resistance, lipid oxidation, and senescence suggest the potential beneficial effects of FMD in type 2 diabetes.
Fmd?

This has been so interesting and encouraging. I'm 56 and have never had DM or been extremely overwt. I transitioned from Paleo to WFPB diet due to High chol in March. But have developed all kinds of joint pain, cravings, & fatigue that I've never had before. I have gained 15# and feel terrible. What effing gives? Must be too many grains, below ground veggies, beans, rice and potatoes.
It depends on how you do that WFPB diet. Not enough information here to help.
Wow, didn't expect to see Joe here 😀 Met him in Chiang Mai years ago, a great personality. It is great to observe how his persistence in following the plant-based diet improved his health so much.
This video is bringing me to tears and also amazes me at the same time - as this is almost exactly what I did to lose a lot of weight. It is strange to see someone else who did the same as me 😂 Really enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Finally, someone is being honest and telling the truth! I’ve followed plain strong. I followed McDougall and Furman chef AJ, mastering diabetes, and they all perpetuate the big lie that you can eat as much food as you want. I can put away for cups of rice or six potatoes after a big salad and my blood sugar would reflect that, I am only 133 pounds. I exercise twice a day but my A1c is almost 8. I’ve been diabetic for 25 years and I couldn’t understand why the lowfat high carb diet dosent work for me.
So grateful to you for your honesty and the part about follow your meter or not the vegan influencers is brilliant! I’ll be following you from now on, but my meter comes first!❤❤❤
Excellent interview. Thank you ❤
Great information and video! Thank you!!
Very cool and real. Thank you!
I have watched this 3x now!! You have to too!!
Now I understand what is going on in me - carbability seems to be my missing link!
I was a Macrobiotic (for me similar to Veganism!)- I am on my way back there - thank you for your inspiration !!!! (my blood sugar and cholesterol is fine again 😂)
Thanks Joe Best Bliss!
Great job... above ground vegetables can be better explained with non starchy vegetables though... Also Dr. McDougall might disagree with his diet plan :)
Geez man this guy really gets it and explains it so simply through his philosophy. I'm tired of hearing scientific jargon to explain plant based eating, I think we all are.
This guy is exactly on point with great points ......for me, BARLEY fish eggs meat has been game changer for me because barley glycemic index of 25
Very Interesting and informative
Thank you
I loved this conversation
So so true
going back to eating 'normally'???? what do you call normally??? wrong wording! but the interview was very interesting and I learned a lot, thank you.
Love mustard too Joe, good to see you again.
Awesome, Video, love, Diana Lipski ❤️
I think people are suggesting raw because the idea is that the food is to be eaten as it grows out of the ground. But we’re so clever that we’ve figured out how to mix and prepare our meals so that even an all-raw diet becomes hyper-palletable, making it impossible to stop eating before you’re stuffed.
When you stuff your belly with food - even the healthiest food - you will begin eating again as soon as there’s room in your stomach. Then before you know it, you’ve eaten too many calories to get rid of bodyfat.
Eating to satiation is the key. It’s just easier to stop eating before you’re stuffed if your food is eaten as it grows out of the ground - just the food. Not the food mixed with a million different things to make it more enjoyable. The food tastes good enough. If you’re overweight, and want to shed fat, consider eating all of your food plain without making it more enjoyable.
God was too good to us. The food is just never good enough for people. Now there’s raw chocolate. Overeating is a massive issue. Plain white potatoes are already tasty enough.
We’re not supposed to eat until we’re full - just until we’re no longer hungry. Now raw foodies are overweight; we play with our food too much.
Eat foods plain, let your tastebuds adapt, and use that extra time to lift some weight and go for a walk. It’s a fabulous life.
I know this video isn’t about losing bodyfat, I just never see anyone point this out in our plant community and it drives me nuts because once a person is on a healthy diet, the next problem is how to eat less. And no one addresses it.
If this comment has offended you, I apologize. It’s not my aim. This is just the first video I’ve watched since putting these thoughts together. Loving this video. Very useful content 🙏🏻
In Buddhism (Theravada) the word for teacher is Ajahn, and so Ajahn Chah, the great Thai teacher would call suffering of various kinds Ajahn. So...Ajahn Diabetes...
Awesome thanks
Excellent information ❤❤
The scientist is Dr. Roy Taylor of Newcastle University. Love his research👍
Love this guy 😍
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
I would love to hear his thoughts on beans in his diet
Me too love beans!
Super interesting. Tks
Tq sir tq.
ppl reversed type 2 in 60 days on plant based!
Yes, you can reverse it in even less. Thats whats amazing. I took a long time because I could not stick to the plan. I not only reversed diabetes I reverse out of control eating of which diabetes is just one symptom.
@cravingcoaching should l be limiting fruits if I have insulin resistance?
Love diabetes as the greates coach for life.
Thank you! I will follow his advice. I eat whole food plant based with low fat and like it and feel very good but I just lost 25 kg in 2,5 years, which i didn't understand.
I thought it could be because of thyroid and age. I will see😀
Carbability = insulin sensitivity i think 😅 . Amazing vid, Joe is charming
I'd love to know the sauces
