@@loriannaTn it’s often said incorrectly. We didn’t evolve FROM apes, otherwise there would be none left. Man and ape shared a common ancestor but mankind’s group branched off.
I was a vegetarian since age 14 and this year at age 29 I decided to begin eating meat because I knew that I could never be healthy on a plant based diet. It is very difficult to be vegetarian and not eat “vegetarian products” which are so processed and loaded with chemicals and soy. Not to mention filling up on sides as your meal like potato salad, pasta, bread. I knew for years that I wanted to stay away from veggie products but these were my protein substitutes and it was hard to have a meal that kept me full without them. I made the decision in January to begin eating meat and switch to a ketogenic lifestyle but it took me months to get passed the mental part and I finally started to implement meat into my diet as of April. As of the beginning of this month I’ve been full keto (I teetered for a while) and kicked my carb addiction and I have never felt better! I have so much energy which is something I’ve lacked for a long time. I’ll never go back! Videos like this are what make my journey easier; being informed and educating yourself is key, I’ve found, to making a lifestyle change, so thank you!
@@TheeWatchWoman To be honest, I started small. I would take one bite out of a friend's burger or a little bite of someone's steak for a couple of months and would make sure to swallow the small bite. Then I would mix meat into my foods like dice up bacon small and mix it into my eggs. There were certain foods that were much easier to eat right off the bat but it took me a long time to eat something like a full steak. Also, I had a hard time cooking meats at first so I would go for something easier like rotisserie chicken since it was already cooked. Sometimes I would tell myself that I was just eating veggie meat! Other times I would eat it and just keep my brain distracted with something like a good show or conversation. But the more and more you do it, the easier it will get, I promise! Just keep trying and you WILL retrain your brain! Meat doesn't bother me at all anymore, something I never thought I could say. Good luck!!
Excellent information. We’ve been keto for 3 years. Both in our 80s and doing well. I’m at a bit of a stall so need to check the basics again. Mu husband is the same weight he was at 21 having ridded himself of 40 lbs. Thanks for this very interesting talk.
This entire video sums up my journey from skinny to fat with all the healthcare challenges that accompany the change because I followed what I was told to do by well-meaning but misinformed medical practioners. Thank you for the TRUTH, & the opportunity to undo the damage!
I wonder if you could explain something for me. Let me preface this by saying I am now living the keto lifestyle and doing very well. 10 years ago, I nearly died from un-diagnosed diabetes. I became skin and bones and was so weak, I could hardly climb a flight of stairs; I had to pull myself up each step. What I want to know is what happened physiologically to cause that? By the way, the moment a friend tested my glucose level (it was 700+), I immediately stopped eating sugar and starches of any kind (except maybe in green leafy veggies). My first A1c was 7.6 and is now 5.6. I see my doctor regularly and she is fine with the keto diet. I am a huge proponent of keto--it literally saved my life. Thanks for this video.
Nurse these last couple decades but this is awesome because I need to explain my keto lifestyle to my own medical friends who don’t understand how it works.
This video has helped me understand the very complex workings of our incredible body but only as much as I need to understand. I get it!!! As a type 1 diabetic for 36 years I would say that this video should be shown to every single person at diagnosis. Understand and then choose what way of life you will follow. The simplicity is such that my grand children could understand but the importance of it is life changing. Thank you Dr. Cywes!!!!!
God I wish you were my DR. i would pay too sit down for 30 minutes to hear what i could do to get healthier and more importantly come off my 80 mg Lipitor and zeta ( 20 years) 6 stents. Doing great now lost 30 lbs weight since feb. ditching carbs,sugar,and processed foods primarily and alcohol) no more bp meds. But I’m going back n forth taking my self off the statins due to my 6 stent history. Ugh. But i love that i found you and I’m trying to decipher this information to see if ill stop my statins and do some extensive testing , just don’t have the correct md guidance.
Your amazing. I'm so glad I came across your channel. You are very insightful and knowledgeable. Its nice how you explain different topics in depth. I started the Ketogentic lifestyle 3 years ago. Now I am mainly carnivore with some vegetables. I'll eat my vegetables mostly when I want something light on my system. I find that meat all the time is hard, plus i like vegetables any way.
You might want to look into the use of fire and how it has shaped alimentary evolution. It can be considered part of our digestive process which is not available to other animals. We have been using it long enough that it should have affected our digestive evolution.
Thank you for your information! From S.Korea Nowadays I only eat meat(beef, pork) and fish I think it is also helpful in psychology things like anxiety, depression, etc not only in physically!

You have to push that timeline back a bit tho. 250k years ago we had anatomically modern humans. You gotta go back a few million years for our herbivores ancestors. But great talk!

As someone who is of Asian Indian descent who has seen many vegetarians grow up to be very successful people and have heard great things from grandparents and great grandparents who lived a great, happy and healthy life despite being a vegetarian for most of their meals, I struggle to understand how they survived so well without animal meats. Dairy has always been a core part of any Indian culture, so that definitely brings in some diversity without consuming meats. There’s of course the significant factor that foods back in those days were more nutritious and less processed, and their lives were physically more active. This seemed to suffice to allow them to live a long and healthy life on primarily vegetarian life. I’m really putting this out here for argument’s sake to better understand this argument about consuming a non vegetarian diet.
I know your comment is a year old already, but you kinda hit the nail on the head when you mentioned dairy... I lived with a Punjabi family for a year, and even though there were only five of them in their household, amerjit bought 10 gallons of milk a week!!! EVERYTHING was made with milk! So, there's your animal fats and proteins right there, for one. For two, the Asian cultures evolved differently from the caucasian/western cultures. I think this is why I feel that I NEED to still have some grains/starches in my own diet, because I am part Indian and Cantonese, and I also cannot live without dairy whereas my Dutch father and one of my brothers cannot tolerate cow's milk.
@@AgnesMariaLIt's also about farming practices with chemical fertilizers and chemical insecticides making their way into the foods now. Also for people that may have autoimmune issues or inflammatory issues some of the lectins and oxalates in vegetables and fruits cause their issues to flare up. I have that issue. Bella, she has a TH-cam channel called the Steak and Butter Gal, started carnivore from vegan because of some issues. She is doing great and looks great now. Go check her out and see what she has to say.
I was keto for 5ish years and it was the first time in my life food didn't control me. I was comfortable and eventually ate 2 meals a day and fasted naturally and could go hours without eating. I have spent many hours studying HFLC and totally agree with it but My confusion is the HCLF people who eat whole foods and control their health issues too, they reverse diabetes and heart disease, etc. I did find being on a HCLF definitely exasperated my carb cravings which have pushed me back to keto cause I can't handle the carb cravings because I feel like I'm binging again and food abscessed. I also had hangry moments and panic eating from hunger.
Even going vegan can improve your health when you quit eating the crap on the Standard American Diet. As you mentioned, it can reverse diabetes, heart disease, etc. The issue is the lack of nutrients you get from plants. Eventually that catches up with you and you start getting unhealthy again but due to malnutrition this time. Also, don't forget about what Dr. Cywes explained. The human body is not suited for large amounts of carbs because we are human, not apes or cows. Fat and protein are both essential to the body, carbs are not. You could not eat a single carb for the rest of your life and you would be fine. When the body needs glucose it will take a little of the protein you are consuming and convert it to glucose for that need, so fat and protein are all you have to eat. The bad results of a high carb diet will reveal itself eventually, just like we have seen for years in the epidemic of metabolic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Usually this occurs in later years when all those bad choices on what to eat catches up with you. Luckily, the body responds quickly and starts healing itself once we get out of its way and eat a proper human diet. I myself reversed T2 diabetes and HB pressure on keto and then carnivore after I was diagnosed in 2015.
...just cruising the web, and your thumbnail happened to have captioning. I thought you would like to know that you have become the carb addiction duck.¨ Hope it makes you smile like it did me.
It's hard to disagree with Dr. Cywes. However, I intend to keep eating fresh vegetables like spinach, broccoli, romaine, bok choy etc. I also intend to keep eating certain fruits in moderation (e.g. berries). The most important things to avoid are sugar, junk food, and starchy vegetables.

I was a Christian too, and I was NEVER taught to take the Bible literally or to disbelieve science. You must be one of those Taliban Christians who are stuck in medieval times.
D R - I thought it outlined why it didn’t make evolutionary sense for humans to eat plants as we don’t have the symbiotic bacteria and large colons needed to extract and convert the glucose from cellulose.
@@DR-hv1jl - I actually only eat meat first & foremost. Appetite is self regulated, fat composition reverted to early adulthood %'s, and all major bio-markers reporting in healthy normal ranges for the last 3 years. Religious ideology aside, I encourage anyone to do a 30-day all meat (ruminant, poultry, pesce) experiment to decide for themselves.
It is good to see diversity in 'natural' diet promoting experts. This might already show the vast dietary adaptability of humans. Other end of keto is represented, e.g., by Dr Steven Gundry, and in the middle you see like Dr Sten Ekberg or Dr Eric Berg. Do you know others in this diversity? We humans are good at both sprinting and walking, equivalent to being hunter gatherer, proving my point.
Dr. Cywes: it sounds like you’re saying that even people of normal weight and who suffer from no diseases also should eat a carnivore diet. Is my understanding correct?
Can you do this while underweight? I'm trying but I'm losing so much weight and I feel like I'm stuck in starvation mode. Please guide me if able or do video on skinny people who needs to gain weight
Nothing new for me as I whole heartedly agree.... but very well explained Dr C, without the unnecessary emotive content. Go veggie if you wish, as not against that at all, but if you do at least understand the possible ramifications of any life decisions... I’d be interested to hear you view point on the effects of mass produced meats? Yes, we would all love to buy grass fed, Free range and massaged animal products (90% I do) but is that a real possibility for the majority of the populous????
One thing you do get from plants in large amounts is minerals like Potassium etc. BUT I think if we are to eat only plants it has to be fruits and nuts but even then the fruits and nuts today are not the same as we had back then so it would still not be optimal as primary food sources. Animal FATs and then secondary Animal Proteins are our primary food sources today with a sprinkling of herbs or taste or for medicine.
@@MouseRata True but I do know from experience you need to make sure you're not deficient going into it or you may have issues (like arrythmua) especially if you lose weight.
So based on this info, what should the typical daily food intake look like? Do you have a sample menu of what humans should be eating to get all of the nutrients we need to be healthy?
I am eating a ketogenic diet and I feel great! But I am curious. If we are not designed to eat sugar constantly, why do eastern Asian cultures have such long life spans when their diet is 80-90% carbohydrates?
A friend of mine lives in japan and he told me they eat mostly 1-2 meals per day. Yes, carbs, but when you have enough time between the meals the sugar can burn off. I lost a lot of fat while eating omad even when it was heavy on carbs. Still feel much better with high fat diet :)
Most Asian culture eat meat with rice as a side. Don't know where you heard they eat mostly carbs. Maybe ones that had to because of war or famine but not by choice.

Humans and gorillas last shared a common ancestor 10 million years ago, according to an analysis of the first full sequence of the gorilla genome. The gorilla is the last of the living great apes - humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans - to have its complete genetic sequence catalogued
I find it laughable when people tell me what I was doing 100k years ago 😅 I very much love the content and education otherwise though thank you for sharing this 🙏
I believe that the first animal foods that we ate were fish and the eggs of shore birds. Eating meat came later. Fish eat fish and we once crawled out of the ocean and onto the shore. That is why I eat eggs for breakfast and seafood for dinner. Meat is an occasional food. I'm not a fan of veggies but will eat leafy greens. I like fruits and add tomatoes and English cucumber to my salad. Desert is one cube of strong flavored cheese daily. I find full on keto boring. Anybody else eat like this? Cheers from 🇨🇦 🤗
Yes. But that's not the problem for the majority of people. The problem is carb excess making a lot of people insulin insensitive. Solve that one first, then you can try getting carbs back in the diet, and at the same time, ensure you don't go back to excess.
I have a serious question and would love an answer if its possible. I have Acne Rosacea and cystic acne (I’m blessed) and when we were keto my skin exploded. It was swollen, painful and very oily. No skin care routine and medication I had from my GP could get it under control. We had organic meat from a local farm so I am unsure what’s going on (is it the animal hormones/ cortisol?). Any ideas on how to remain keto without this extreme adverse effect? I have had to temporarily halt keto and my skin has "dried up" and improved on the new round of medication. I have even e-mailed Dr. Sandra Lee (pimple popper) for an online consult so the Dutch experts can help me (up until now their approach is very “lets wait and see but try this cream……again”). Thanks in advance. Jennifer
If you want that from a creationist point of view, here it is: In the beginning man ate exclusively fruit. Then we ate the forbidden fruit which made us smart, but killed off all the bacteria needed to process cellulose. In order to live, we needed the help of animals and the rest of this is addressed by the Doctor...
I do not understand why starting eating meat and spending less time eating allowed us to develop abstract thinking and dominance. My dog (as all carnivores) eat once a day, 80% meat. I am lost to ubderstand what is different in our meat consumption that develops the brain?
You may be correct but it is such an irrelevant point. It is almost like saying a grain of sand in New Zealand has a completely different structure to a grain of sand in the USA. The pure fact is our body moved to a carnivorous style of eating hundreds of thousands of years ago and that is the take away.
@@williammorris8855 you know rocks,minerals and sand have different structures around the world right?you make no point,we have science to prove things like that it is not our personal opinion..
1 Timothy 4:3 Context 1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Humans have small stomach and small large intestine. The small intestine has developed enzymes to process protein and fats... not designed to eat large amounts of vegetables.

Wow. So clear info. Perfect 💗 Will share 😁
Ten thumbs up!
...just cruising the web, and your thumbnail happened to have captioning. I thought you would like to know that you have become the carb addiction duck.¨ Hope it makes you smile like it did me.
It's hard to disagree with Dr. Cywes. However, I intend to keep eating fresh vegetables like spinach, broccoli, romaine, bok choy etc. I also intend to keep eating certain fruits in moderation (e.g. berries). The most important things to avoid are sugar, junk food, and starchy vegetables.
Veggies and berries are fine as long as they agree with you.
And grain. No grain.

How is your HEALTH now
Excellent! Please keep this up. Your voice is needed.
while as a christian, i dont believe in the theory of evolution, i do appreciate the knowledge u are sharing here, thank u sir
Evolution is not a belief system, it’s a fact
@@StoneAgePHD im not gonna argue with anyone over their "BELIEF" system... if ur right, well never know, if im right, ull know forever... either way, i dont care what u Believe or Dont Believe... so stop acting like a little bitch & quit tryin to pick a fight on u tube ...geeze... the worlds just full of assholes aint it... hey wait, maybe THATS what weve EVOLVED into... a bunch of p.c. pansies who cant handel someone having a different opinion than them?!? ...good day
What do you think the animals on our planet looked like 200 million years ago? Just curious.
@@doseofsanitydon’t ask that question to someone who thinks the Earth is just over 4 thousand years old.
I was a Christian too, and I was NEVER taught to take the Bible literally or to disbelieve science. You must be one of those Taliban Christians who are stuck in medieval times.
outstanding info thank you !
Wow. Amazing info
🙋Good info to know.
Thank you👍☺
This is so awesome thank you posting it!!
Hello ! Excellent introduction. What can I read to dig deeper into this topic?
One of the best videos out there!!! 👍👍👍
Absolutely great info Dr!
Question: Is it possible, if one has been obese and/or diabetic for years, to "resurrect" a healthy gut biome?
I’m sure you would rather hear from Dr C... but the answer is yes. In addition to Dr C, look up Dr William Davies (Wheat Belly)...👍👍
Excellent explanations!!
A very well explained outline of why we are omnivores.
D R - I thought it outlined why it didn’t make evolutionary sense for humans to eat plants as we don’t have the symbiotic bacteria and large colons needed to extract and convert the glucose from cellulose.
One in the same Bill. If you don’t eat plants, what do you eat? Meat! With a side of veggies if you like them.
@@DR-hv1jl - I actually only eat meat first & foremost. Appetite is self regulated, fat composition reverted to early adulthood %'s, and all major bio-markers reporting in healthy normal ranges for the last 3 years. Religious ideology aside, I encourage anyone to do a 30-day all meat (ruminant, poultry,
pesce) experiment to decide for themselves.
He actually outlined why we're facultative carnivores, not omnivores. There's a subtle difference.
It is good to see diversity in 'natural' diet promoting experts. This might already show the vast dietary adaptability of humans.
Other end of keto is represented, e.g., by Dr Steven Gundry, and in the middle you see like Dr Sten Ekberg or Dr Eric Berg. Do you know others in this diversity?
We humans are good at both sprinting and walking, equivalent to being hunter gatherer, proving my point.
Dr. Cywes: it sounds like you’re saying that even people of normal weight and who suffer from no diseases also should eat a carnivore diet. Is my understanding correct?
Fantastic podcast - per usual!!!!! Great Job! Say Hi, to Mrs. C. FOR ME.....
I'm fermenting veggies and doing great with digesting them.
Can you do this while underweight? I'm trying but I'm losing so much weight and I feel like I'm stuck in starvation mode. Please guide me if able or do video on skinny people who needs to gain weight
My prediction: Robert becomes a sensation
This is really really good and informative
Nothing new for me as I whole heartedly agree.... but very well explained Dr C, without the unnecessary emotive content. Go veggie if you wish, as not against that at all, but if you do at least understand the possible ramifications of any life decisions...
I’d be interested to hear you view point on the effects of mass produced meats? Yes, we would all love to buy grass fed, Free range and massaged animal products (90% I do) but is that a real possibility for the majority of the populous????
I love it Good Doctor and thanks so much for the truth!
One thing you do get from plants in large amounts is minerals like Potassium etc. BUT I think if we are to eat only plants it has to be fruits and nuts but even then the fruits and nuts today are not the same as we had back then so it would still not be optimal as primary food sources. Animal FATs and then secondary Animal Proteins are our primary food sources today with a sprinkling of herbs or taste or for medicine.
ChildOL you can get potassium from meats, that’s why people are able to just eat carnivore without any mineral or nutrient deficiencies.
@@MouseRata True but I do know from experience you need to make sure you're not deficient going into it or you may have issues (like arrythmua) especially if you lose weight.
Now I understand, thanks!..
Glad it helped!
So based on this info, what should the typical daily food intake look like? Do you have a sample menu of what humans should be eating to get all of the nutrients we need to be healthy?
humans are carnivores. eat fatty ruminant meat
I am eating a ketogenic diet and I feel great! But I am curious. If we are not designed to eat sugar constantly, why do eastern Asian cultures have such long life spans when their diet is 80-90% carbohydrates?
A friend of mine lives in japan and he told me they eat mostly 1-2 meals per day. Yes, carbs, but when you have enough time between the meals the sugar can burn off. I lost a lot of fat while eating omad even when it was heavy on carbs. Still feel much better with high fat diet :)
Most Asian culture eat meat with rice as a side. Don't know where you heard they eat mostly carbs. Maybe ones that had to because of war or famine but not by choice.

@@throughhellback5102 that's exactly what I was thinking when I read your dumb comment
@@bobsam5982 listen, Bob. No need to belittle to drive your point. I highly disagree with you. And that’s okay. I know the internet has made it very easy to be able to drive misinformation and has made it very easy to disrespect each other. I mean no disrespect, I find your insults and comments hilarious. I wish you the best and hope you continue to search for knowledge…..and maybe some people skills. Have a good night.
Humans and gorillas last shared a common ancestor 10 million years ago, according to an analysis of the first full sequence of the gorilla genome. The gorilla is the last of the living great apes - humans, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans - to have its complete genetic sequence catalogued
Incredible
Not 100k years ago, but most probably over 1 million years ago has changed our way to eat ,more to protein and fats !
Love this!!
I find it laughable when people tell me what I was doing 100k years ago 😅
I very much love the content and education otherwise though thank you for sharing this 🙏
I believe that the first animal foods that we ate were fish and the eggs of shore birds. Eating meat came later. Fish eat fish and we once crawled out of the ocean and onto the shore. That is why I eat eggs for breakfast and seafood for dinner. Meat is an occasional food. I'm not a fan of veggies but will eat leafy greens. I like fruits and add tomatoes and English cucumber to my salad. Desert is one cube of strong flavored cheese daily. I find full on keto boring. Anybody else eat like this? Cheers from 🇨🇦 🤗
Not sure I agree. Insulin signaling is imperative for a number of metabolic functions. Insulin via the GLP 1 pathway is driven by carbs.
Facts don't care if you agree or not, they are still facts.
Yes. But that's not the problem for the majority of people. The problem is carb excess making a lot of people insulin insensitive. Solve that one first, then you can try getting carbs back in the diet, and at the same time, ensure you don't go back to excess.
I have a serious question and would love an answer if its possible. I have Acne Rosacea and cystic acne (I’m blessed) and when we were keto my skin exploded. It was swollen, painful and very oily. No skin care routine and medication I had from my GP could get it under control. We had organic meat from a local farm so I am unsure what’s going on (is it the animal hormones/ cortisol?). Any ideas on how to remain keto without this extreme adverse effect? I have had to temporarily halt keto and my skin has "dried up" and improved on the new round of medication. I have even e-mailed Dr. Sandra Lee (pimple popper) for an online consult so the Dutch experts can help me (up until now their approach is very “lets wait and see but try this cream……again”). Thanks in advance. Jennifer
possibly detoxing (?)
If you want that from a creationist point of view, here it is: In the beginning man ate exclusively fruit. Then we ate the forbidden fruit which made us smart, but killed off all the bacteria needed to process cellulose. In order to live, we needed the help of animals and the rest of this is addressed by the Doctor...
Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego dnia
100,000 years ???!!! -
Millions
Good talk
100,000 thousand years ago? Don"t you mean Four million years ago?
yup! evolution would be in the millions
I've heard others say at least 2 million years ago.
Nobody cares
Creation!!! Evolution is a false theory
I do not understand why starting eating meat and spending less time eating allowed us to develop abstract thinking and dominance. My dog (as all carnivores) eat once a day, 80% meat. I am lost to ubderstand what is different in our meat consumption that develops the brain?
so well explained! But i think we where carnivores before 100.000 years (i think more than 250k before)
Some says more than 2 mil. years .
The simple thing is that we will never know
@@williammorris8855 in fact we do know, we measure some isotopes and understand when the transition to carnivory started... Never say never
You may be correct but it is such an irrelevant point. It is almost like saying a grain of sand in New Zealand has a completely different structure to a grain of sand in the USA.
The pure fact is our body moved to a carnivorous style of eating hundreds of thousands of years ago and that is the take away.
@@williammorris8855 you know rocks,minerals and sand have different structures around the world right?you make no point,we have science to prove things like that it is not our personal opinion..
1 Timothy 4:3 Context
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Humans have small stomach and small large intestine. The small intestine has developed enzymes to process protein and fats... not designed to eat large amounts of vegetables.
