    One thing that is crazily dumb with the Paleo diet is that advocate oils.....clearly the one thing that is guaranteed to have not been available in Paleolithic times is seed oils to fry things with. A lot of vegans tend to consume seed oils so you're certainly one of the smarter ones since you keep away from them.

    Thank you for mentioning the Kitavan people!! They get overlooked a lot when discussing paleo-style diets. Ancient peoples have always had extremely varying diet depending on where they lived, so I really dislike the term "paleo diet" as if there was only one type. Personally I've been living on a Kitavan style diet minus fish for a while now and I really enjoy it. I get to live on my favorite food (sweet potatos and other underground starches) with whatever greens and fruit I want, with coconut cream or coconut meat. No grains personally because I'm testing to see if my acne problems are related to that. I'm going to share this video with somebody I know who is into "caveman" style dieting. And I subbed too!

    I would say people of the paleolithic had an omnivorous diet than a vegan one. Humans eat can any source of food depending on the environment, in places like the tundra they ate some plants, but probably ate manly meat they got from the animals they hunted due to the cold making edible plants sparse. These days it's easy to eat a meat free diet, but during the ice ages that would not have been a good one to survive on.

    Hi Mike, as a vegan I'm pleased to see these results, yet I do wonder: does Cronometer take bioavailability into account? For example, vitamin A has to be synthesized from carotenoids since it is not present in a vegan diet, and the absorption of minerals like iron and calcium can be inhibited (by oxalic acid I believe?), and are lower than in animal products in the first place. Could you please elaborate on this? Thanks!

    I have been sceptical the first time I heard about Palaeolithic diet being what it is, I mean, avoiding grains and legumes? Seemed like an unbalanced diet to me.

    • @purgatoriprytania5382
      @purgatoriprytania5382 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I'm not sure what you're arguing here? Is it that modern paleo diets faithfully recreate the diet of paleolithic man? If so, then by your own account the paleo diet should include consumption of einkorn. And doubtless you will also know that insects were also part of the diet, so they should be on the menu as well. However, I haven't seen many paleo promoters actually advocating for any of these, which as someone who has taken courses on the history of human subsistence, must really irritate you.

    • @coreymacdonald2297
      @coreymacdonald2297 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Purgatori Sakkara well no, not even advocating paleo, but Mic's says his diet is more paleo.... i am saying that unless you lived then you really can't say its a Paleo diet. And most of those vegtables, legumes, mushrooms and fruits that many vegans eat..... potatoes, sweet potatoes, many different kinds of beans, peppers, corn.... all originate in central America, because of agriculture..... unless you only eat things that you hunt or pick yourself..... cant really saying anything is more paleo..... unless you only eat wild game. Then they could call that Paleo. I like to look at facts as opposed to using confirmation biased data.

    • @purgatoriprytania5382
      @purgatoriprytania5382 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Well that's exactly the point made by a lot of us who criticise the paleo diet: even if we knew exactly what it consisted of, it'd be largely impractical---if not impossible---to recreate. And, even if we *could* recreate it, it's not clear that there would be any point in doing so as far as promoting better health and so on. Even the 'wild game' thing is a bit misleading; paleo man most definitely ate wild game, but it seems fairly unlikely that it was a staple of their diet (see here, for instance: www.nationalgeographic.com/foodfeatures/evolution-of-diet/ ).

I also eat whole grains and a variety of other fruit and veg. The tends to put me at about 200-300% on the RDA for iron.
      A great way to get iron would be having cane molasses, or blackstrap molasses if you can stand the taste of it! These are great alternatives to iron supplements (1 tablespoon has around 100% of iron rda) as they contain a variety of minerals and vitamins.
      Of course i am not a health practitioner, but I suggest trying to up your consumption of these sorts of foods to see if it helps, before looking into taking iron supplements. But please listen to your doctor if they are telling you to supplement iron :)

      +Mending Wall Yeah I go hard...without trying to. Recommended minimum amount is 25g/day for women and 38 for men. The Institute of Medicine says a healthy person who consumes a higher than suggested amount of fiber will not suffer "deleterious effects."

    Hunting wild animals was a very difficult challenge in paleolithic times, so those diets had to be low in meat.

  • @mmc5005

    What did you eat to reach these numbers? Plant food is not bioavailable to us as animal products so something might contain particular nutrient but you wont be able to absorb it.

  • @Mb-sw5py

    The 45-50% carbs and over 100g of fiber might be possible because wild species of fruits and greens have a lot less sugar, more protein and more fiber.

  • @spgtenor
    @spgtenor 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nobody seems to really follow the original paleo diet (including Cordain). Now it's mostly low carb whatever you feel like is paleo - meat, butter and lots of oils with a few greens. That being said, I think the paleo people are exaggerating some numbers. No way low carbers are getting over 200 mg of vit C. And 31 grams of fiber? From where! Maybe 15 if they're lucky. Absolutely no way 4,700 mg of potassium! Again, maybe 1000.

    • @vidhanmatolia4734

      they are pure saturated fats. heating and eating them increases LDL which causes arthrosclorosis (not as bad as meat or eggs though)

    • @Claireissus
      @Claireissus 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Olive oil is pure monunsaturated fat, and has been better studied than one study examinating 10 people (the one linked), and more recently. I'm not a dogmatic person but when you have over 10 studies examinating olive oil as a coronary and vascular protector against one or two that say the opposite... i'll keep using olive oil until the major recent evidence supports the opposite.

    • @anthonymorris6473
      @anthonymorris6473 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wrong. Most oils are polyunsaturated or monounsaturated. Saturated fat comes from animals and is referred to as "fat" not "oil." Oils (and fat) help to transfer certain vitamins and minerals through your intestinal walls into your bloodstream. They are important adjuncts to your diet. Fruits and vegs tend to be relatively low in fats or oils but they still have them. Grains and nuts are better richer sources and when eaten with fruits and vegs will speed those nutrients into your system. Processed oils will not hurt you if you use them moderately, although people with allergies to nuts or grains may wish to avoid using vegetable, canola, corn or peanut oils. Olive oil is a very good oil for most people. I can't tolerate coconut oil so I don't know how that might rate for others. Again, moderation is the watch word.Incidentally, our ancestors likely ate meat with vegetables so had plenty of fatty acids to transfer fat-soluble nutrients before they had processed oils and when grains and nuts were seasonally unavailable.

  • @sheridandyches59
    @sheridandyches59 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a question for anyone to answer: I know a guy who is paleo and he keeps saying he knows the vegan diet isn't healthy (from science and his background in biology studies). He says most vegans feel sick after 5 years because all their old vitamins and nutrients are deplenished . He says vegans can barely get K2 and Omega 3 vitamins, blah blah blah. I'm strongly vegan, but I feel like I can't fight back with facts or opinions to support being vegan (I do not have a science background). Besides animal cruelty, I want to know how to respond to him about just how the diet is good for you (if you still eat right of course) but I just feel like he judges me for being vegan. Please help!
    some add on: in your video how you saw we can get everything we need from plants, the paleo guy doesnt agree. And i don't think he is worried I would get enough protein, he is worries about vitamins and nutrients like DHA/EPA omega 3s, and k2.

  • @lohitkapoor1800
    @lohitkapoor1800 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    How can you eat 97g of fiber per day? Seriously!! A 100gm serving of any vegan food like nuts, seeds, fruits, veggies, legumes and even grains has 5-10gm of fiber. So do you seriously eat 1-2 kg of foods in a day?

  • @mace9930
    @mace9930 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    How about Paleolithic-Vegan, with no animal products? No Neolithic foods like grains, beans, squashes. Only fruits, Paleolithic vegetables, nuts, seeds. No meat, dairy. I adhere to this, and I usually feel tremendous. It is important to get a very good Vitamin B12 supplement, though.

  • @meghschildt
    @meghschildt 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    this was wonderful. just to add to this, we ate grains, veggies, etc and that sound be obvious because we developed agriculture during the Neolithic era which we grew the foods we ate the most. as far as meat goes we really only raised animals to help with harvest, trade, etc. It was too time consuming to raise meat. there is evidence that Egyptians ate a mainly vegetarian diet but could have had meat every once in awhile. and this is from studying the bones of pharaohs, not slave or commoners. the Pharaohs were mummified scientists could easily study them. if we truly look back during the dawn of agriculture it's evident that animals were just mainly used as a tool and every once in awhile used for food. in the Americas the Olmec used llamas for their wool but also learned to grow cotton for clothes. the Inuit are the only ones I can think of that used meat solely and they don't have the greatest health

    • @nazoya3506
      @nazoya3506 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Meghan Rood yes! I've read that ancient Egyptians actually ate mostly bread made using grain and water, and lots of different vegetables with some fruit and some fish .. basically no meat there! and yeah I don't know where the idea came from that we only started eating grains during the neolithic era... agriculture began when people learned that they could plant food that they liked and have been eating before to selectively breed them to be larger or taste better

    The problem with this is that we are not palaeolithic humans, we are mesolithic/neolithic humans, also these humans from the latter period if the stone age made bread for barley and ate legumes, (I wrote this comment before actually finishing the video :p) also just to clarify, the humans from the palaeolithic period were a different species of human to homo sapiens.

    You sort of mislead people by using your own diet when showing the omega 6 to 3 ratio.
    I don't disagree that a vegan diet can do this.
    It's just not entirely intuitive to many new people pick up veganism for the 1st time as to how this is done.
    Dr. Gregor did a video on a vegan at 40 getting a heart attack, that goes into greater detail on what changes in diet reduce omega 6 and increase omega 3.

    • @MictheVegan
      @MictheVegan  9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +xenoblad That's why I named the video why "my vegan diet" etc.
      I think that if you eat whole plant foods it's pretty natural to get a better omega ratio. I in no way engineered my diet to have a better omega ratio, it just happened why I cut out oil.
      I do agree that a standard American vegan will not get these number. Especially the fiber numbers.
