It’s no secret, sugar has been labeled the bad guy in the standard American diet for years now. As new diet fads circulate around the internet and the latest trends and research seems to change every other day, finally some pieces of the “what’s making me fat” puzzle are starting to fit together. Even more so, with today’s health concerns, obesity is no longer the only indicator for poor health and metabolic disease. Dr. Richard Johnson is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and kidney disease and is known as the Fructose Expert. In this episode he’s breaking down the orchestrated events taking place in our bodies between sugar, salt, and how your foods are triggering you to gain weight.

QUOTES:
“There is a switch that animals use to go from being us normal weight to overweight, that switch, you can activate it by certain types of foods.” [1:53]
“The fat is like the firewood, and the sugar is like the fire. So if you take away the fire, and you go on a low carb diet, and you are in high fat now, well, there's no stimulus to gain weight because because you've taken away the fructose” [17:18]
“One of the classic means for stimulating fructose turns out to be from a high glucose level in the blood.” [23:02]
“When you eat, if your glucose goes up in your blood, it triggers the production of fructose.” [37:59]
“So it's either the fructose you eat, or the fructose you make if you eat a lot of fructose, you're going to activate the switch.” [38:58]
“We have a higher uric acid, and this makes us more sensitive to the effects of fructose because fructose is working through uric acid. [...] and when that happens, we become very sensitive to sugar” [40:14]
“In the potency sugars, number one, high glycemic carbs are probably number two. salty foods are distant three, and umami is maybe even a four.” [44:36]
“Exercise turns out to be a great way not to lose weight, cause it doesn't burn many calories, but it stimulates the mitochondria, you won't notice the benefit except the benefit’s going to be happening.” [55:46]

What’s the most useful tip you can share for fat loss?
Intermittent fasting..!! Just incredibly works for me!!
If you read my comment carefully, it says: "Works incredibly for me." Probably, you missed it! It immediately contextualizes my rooting for the mantra. For instance: not everyone will respond well to a 16-hour window.
My advice is not to go extreme at once. Else we face issues like hunger and cravings, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, dehydration, lack of energy, unhealthy weight loss, etc. It takes time to grow your body to adapt to it, so be patient with yourself.
Most importantly, listen to your body. Take a few tries to find your sweet spot. For starters, you can stick to a 12-hour window (Dinner at 8:00 PM, Light Breakfast at 8:00 AM). Then gradually move to a 16-hour window.
Also, it is important to consider other variables like eating nutritious home-cooked healthy meals, avoiding calorie density food, keeping yourself hydrated, taking sound ⅞ hour sleep, doing some form of workout/stretching for at least 24 mins, going for a daily walk, and walking at least 6000-7000 steps every day.
It might sound like a lot of hassle but honestly, everything boils down to developing healthy life habits for your body, your mind, and your overall well-being. Last but not least, more than losing weight, it is important to feel mentally fit and energetic & stay internally healthy.
The Reason we get fat is simply because our body adapts to how much activity and energy we do/consume, put shortly: input and output; so if you want be really lean and fit, live a lifestyle that requires that!
I hope this helped - A Growing Personal Development TH-camr
Walking is an excellent exercise and a great thing to do with loved ones or pets.
❤👍😘❤
I'll water fast for 2-3 days and go for walks around the city ("cheating" with coffee can help combat the fatigue)
Great way to clear the mind and the gut.
I hear extended fasting can help reset your gut microbiome.
i remember my grandfather used to go for really long walks in the mountains 6 plus hours at a time and he would always eat a lot of suet fat from cows and on his walks he would just take one bottle of water and now i know why he never got dehydrated.... the fat from the suet in his body stored lots of water for him.... he had a wonderful happy character and had a sharp mind until he suddenly passed away in his sleep at the age of 105...
I'm going to look up suet fat, now, lol!😁
I am so sorry for your lost. I am amazed for your grandfather longevity.
He lived to 105? Amazing. I'm sorry for your loss. He lived a loooong life
Among the many other good eating habits, I drink lemon and lime water with himilayan salt every morning. I hear the acidity effects the blood sugar levels positively. It seems to work because I have no cravings for food and my weight is under control now. I also feel less anxious; previously I would eat when I felt anxious. If you're reading this you can break the cycle too :)
For 20 years I drunk water with lemon or lime every single day.
Than I got a crazy job and could not keep drinking it
First thing I notice is that tingling and pin and needles sensation went away among other things.
Thank you for the info, how much himalayas salt do you use?
@@jackiegroves124 Just a teaspoon full.
Thanks Cogneezy!
I never bought into the lemon in the water , but I've experienced what you describe. Will keep doing it.
Must be the vitamin C he talks about.
I took from this
less red meat
Less fructose
More water
Less salt
Less white sugar
No soda and fruit drinks
No liquid sugar
Eat more veggies and fish
Zone 2 exercises didn’t really explain what that was 56:10
And Intermittent fast
Thankyou
Thanks for the list!! Zone 2 is a specific type of cardio/exercise when you are at like 60% to 70% of your heart rate. I think there are 5 heart rate zones that do different things for your body, so you may want to research that further.
@@heatherslittlethings thank you
OMAD and yes to greens, low carb veggies, water, coffee, protein and fish on fridays!
Also relax often! It was proven that stress and cortisol favors the accumulation of fat. The body does not know if you have a stressful workplace, toxic relationship or an upcoming famine. The body wants what's best for you and it does it's best with it's evolutionary inherited traits. Be the captain of your body, care for it as you would a priceless yacht and you will sail the sea of life with east. I wish you good habits and Good Luck!
Love interviews where the host doesnt keep interrupting and knows exactly when to ask questions!👌🏽🤩
This host used to interrupt, but he did listen to subscribers and changed his style 👍💚
Why are you still here polluting us with valueless comments?
Bilyeu is definitely not a treasonous rpblcn
@@LenkaSaratoga - Yes, he went from the worst to the best interviewer.
Exactly, and also, what question to ask? The wonderful interviewer and amazing interviews !!!
Did I get this right? The melting away fat is = to get 500mg of vitamin C a day, drink 8-10 glasses of water, stay off carbs, and do intermittent fasting?
I loved the explanation of fructose, salt, and umami and how it flips the gain weight switch/ tricker the alarm!
Also exercise, not necessarily to lose weight directly but to affect the mitochondria.
He also mentioned zone 2 for exercise. Is that optimal?
Yes that’s about it !!!
Love that this professor is caring & sharing. Tom’s questions are great & help understand the processes more in depth; he is very sincere & focused on learning & is a very nice guy.
This is the first time I have heard Dr. Rick Johnson speak. I really enjoyed this interview.
This is absolutely fascinating information. Even more so, it makes perfect sense! Absolutely the best nutrition focused interview that I have seen.
No packed sweets, NO POP, no pastry, cut that for two weeks, you'll see results, no matter the age... (if you lower the salty stuff, like cured meats, cheese, even better). This was an awesome episode! Thank you!
Cut it out for the rest of your life. Two weeks may be enough to convince us we are on the right path to health. Please be specific when using times, state your entire thought so as not to be misunderstood. PLEASE.
Info so good I took some notes. These things should be taught in school nutrition and also to most of our General practitioner doctors. Thank you for this interview.
I really really enjoyed this episode! Very well done Rom and Dr. Richard!!
Tom, I have been a big admirer of your show for quite a while, but now I love it and you. Promotion and recognition of the work of this brilliant man, Professor Rick Johnson, is so long overdue, he deserves this high-profile recognition of his work. Recently you interviewed Dr David Perlmutter re
uric acid, and that was excellent, but as he stated, that uric acid research was done by Prof. Johnson, who I first heard discuss this about 3 or 4 years
ago in a great interview by Peter Attia. Anyway, well done. Thank you. This is from Patricia and William H.
Tom - I know you know this already, but you are really changing lives with your channel and your great interviews. Thank you for the inspiring interviews and for the positive impact you are creating in the world.
Yes you could say he's making an impact
@@uelude 😂😂😂.
💯
Agreed. Big up to Tom from Trinidad & Tobago!
@@uelude now thats a THEORY!
Wow. The way he explained everything was so easy to understand and enlightening. Everything makes much more sense now!!
Finally someone has explained the reasons why weight loss is so elusive. Diets didnt work. Now I know why. Thank you Tom for bringing this brilliant man to our attention. Thank you Dr. Johnson for saving our lives. This Is the most valuable information I have ever come upon and will be of great benefit in creating a healthy life. This is a life changing moment. 🙏❤️🌟
Diets DO work. People just can't stick to them. If you cut out sugar you're still on a diet.
@@simongarner5340 + calories out works as well. But most people overestimate how many calories they burn and under estimate how much they take in.
calories in calories out. Thats it.
@@simongarner5340 not just sugar, any high glycemic food
I’m a 220 lb man trying hard every day to live in a 155 lb body. It ain’t easy but totally worth it.
I am a woman now twice the size I used to be I feel you but this man made so much sense I bought his book I think it’s the answer :) “old me “ here i come best wishes to you too !!!
I'm a 130lb man trying hard to become a 150lb man. We can reach our goals one step at a time
I shared this with many and subscribed to Toms channel after watching this. Great video and the clearest explanation I've heard on the process of getting fat. Also awaiting my free Audible credit next month to get Dr Johnson's book. Best tip I can offer is educate yourself and try to become aware of your motives every time you go to eat. A food journal really helped with that. Other than that, just remember that sugar is poison and carbs can kill. Good luck and good health to all trying to get it worked out! Keep the faith! Carnivore worked for me. Down 97lbs in 7 months. Feel great.
Not get bored for a second, very informative talk . I like this guy.
This guy makes science fun, interesting, and just makes it all very easy to understand
To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
Oh shut up
Thank you

No 1 health related video I've watched all year or maybe in the last 2 years and I watch many nutritional video and read many books and articles. This guys has hit every single point. This is a masterclass in understanding the dietary part to weight gain/weight loss. ! Honestly amazing! !
Interesting comment. I couldn't agree more. The research can't hide his joy regarding his reserch's findings. Would be great to know your Top Ten list of health & fitness videos.
@@pacojavo2978 yes he is a happy bunny! Since this I've been looking more into water retention and the role of magnesium. However I not the biggest fan of the idea of supplementation for example my daily supplement is 2 eggs daily, good sleep, sunlight etc. Though I'd say the most interesting video and something you don't need supplementation for to improve is Nasal Breathing. This has helped me with energy, feeling awake in the morning, swimming, running, weight lifting and even premature ejactulation. Understanding your breath and nasal breathing is so important, when practiced it can be a boost whenever you are in a rut or funk.
The other thing that I think is very beneficial to look at is the purpose of your gallbladder and bile production. To put it short, your gallbladder is very important for the digestion of fat and fat soluble vitamins like A,E,D and K. It's very easy to test if you need to work on improving bile salt production of the gallbladder, if your not put off by the idea then when you poop just look into the bowl and see if it floats. If it floats, you aren't absorbing the fat as the fat is what is making it float.
If you wanted to supplement with bile salts be sure to use it at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after you eat as bile salts are alkaline and can affect your digestion briefly. Lastly you only need to supplement bile salts for at most a week, I only supplemented for 3 days. This is because it kicks your liver and gallbladder into action as your bile salts are reabsorbed into your gallbladder after you breakdown fats. You can build your bile salt up naturally by slowly increasing your fats. Because the salts are reabsorbed you can slowly and slowly build it up, as long as your liver and gallbladder are in working order. I'm not a doctor, pls do your own due diligence and research.
Lastly stay away for all this new age supplements with random and fantastical names. A lot of the research is wrong simple because when they test on rats and mice they are never explicit with what diet the control rodents are on. Usually its a high carb diet which makes almost any supplement look impressive next to a nutritionally weak diet for the rodents.
Yh I can talk for hours on the many sides to nuitrition, I find it interesting. Hopefully this wasn't too much information to digest.
If your interested to know about my list of things to do for health that do not require supplements and things which may require supplements please let me know. I'm more than happy to share.

Your shows are amazing. Thanks for your hard work as well as your guests.
Dr. Johnson , Thank you. The entire ocean in a glass of water. 🙏
THANK YOU so much for providing the time stamps & the notes. so helpful.
Dude was so friendly and Tom was just serious the whole time for no reason
Active listening can be like that some times
Tom takes himself way too seriously lol.
Tom may not be feeling well.
@@mygreyhairlife I don't think he looks well.
Definitely an energy mismatch. Still a great interview.
Amazing interview! It's so interesting. I love learning these types of things.
This was a GREAT topic. Dr. Johnson was informative and easy to understand (considering all the chemistry!). I'm looking for his book...
This guy is fracking awesome. So cool to watch somebody explain things competently and with passion.
4:55 "it's a whole orchestrated event" beautifully put
Excellent information from Dr Johnson. Thanks for all the research and sharing your knowledge with the world. Tom, excellent interview and topic choice as usual.
I love it whenever Tom said “That’s crazy!”
If only Dr. Johnson could teach every health class in grade school. Understanding how my body works in such detail makes me appreciate every fat cell on it and makes me want to take care of it even better (and now I even know how). Just ordered his book.
Dr. Rick is so humble and charismatic!! Loved loved this interview ❤
Great show, thanks. The subject reminds me a lot of an article I read "Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, and Fructose" by Dr. Jose Bonner at the University of Indiana, back in 2013. Pretty much said the same things. Nice to see it's going mainstream in 2022.
couldn't find the article, Stratos. please provide a link
That interview was one ☝️ of the best I have seen in a long time. Thank you 🙏
Agreed
That was indeed a Ledgedary interview. I commend you for being a most great host and commentator. You provided c a platform for truel allowing your guest speaker to do just that...speak what he knows to be truth. It is a true gift to add commentary or know the pertinent questions to ask using right timing to gently guide and provide all the essense of the subjects being shared. You have mastered this art. Bravo!!!
Awesome! Learned much about ketosis and salt here. Thx Tom and Rick!
Wow! This is great! Makes sense. Im a nurse and his physiology information is correct. Im getting his book. 👍😁
Ugh, this man is so lovely and you just sit there giving him no hostly warmth, Tom. Not the way I would treat a guest. I did keep watching and your communication with him improved so that's good.
So appreciative of your channel and the guests you have here! I am learning so much!
I’m glad you guys went into practical advice at the end!
Really helpful information! I definitely will be getting his book!
I've been watching some of your videos, and I just wanted to say that your listening skills are exceptional! I like that you paraphrase what your guest is saying for clarity, and that you ask very specific questions. Most of the time, they're questions that popped in my mind also....it makes the interviews very enjoyable to watch 🙂
I swear he is one of the best interviewers out there period. He’s incredible.
I really enjoy the fact that intricate information is taken on boldly and made really accessible to the audience. That is really a wonderful gift to all who watch these interviews.
Absolutely great listener and interviewer. Tom strives to learn from these interviews, even when it’s so contrary to his own thinking. This one freaked me out. I love sheep and goat cheese when doing keto, and may have to tone them down.
Fascinating! Not done watching it yet, but I just have to say, this guy is so sweet and authenthic, like professors I've had whose life IS their field of study. Lovely =)
I Could listen to Dr. Richard talk for hours. Very smart, and very fun!
...and very modest! The profile of really clever and well educated people!
Interesting 🤔
Lovely, kind doctor.
He explains in the best way.
Thank you both.
May, a month in the gym: makes all the difference to what I was doing lockdown. I am looking at my health for the next four decades. I don't drink during workout or sauna, neither do I have my phone, unlike just about everyone else.
I suffer from obesity and am a mental health Psychologist. This is by far the best information I have gotten besides Dr. Feng from you show.
Fascinating information! I like Dr. Johnson’s style too-he’s a great teacher.
Very much so!
This is a really great interview, Tom!~ I like the way you pierce your questions to get substance out of the conversation.
Thank you so much for posting this interview! It explains why I am so heavy. Most of my life I would skip meals and just drink soda. If I ate, I would have either cereal, chips with cheese, or tacos. I have always been under tons of stress with school or with work. We shall see how making these changes work. I pray it's not too late to change my metabolism. Thanks again!
Lee Ann. It is never too late.. Whatever your age you will be surprised to see how fast you can turn your health around. Be strong and you will lose weight and you will even help your stresslevel. I lost 60 lbs on Keto in 6 months, and feel so much better. I am near 60.
@@kjensen7819 Thanks. I am trying to figure out what plan to follow. I am 57 and have never had success on any diet plan. I was always told that I was not eating enough which to me doesn't make sense but I guess my body stores fat easily. I am desperate to find an answer. Glad you had success on keto! Way to go!
i lost 40 pounds in 4 months on keto. it felt miraculous. & it was a pleasure.
Wait, you drink soda and eat junk and need an explanation why you're heavy?! I drink no soda for years, just water, I eat real food that I cook myself, I make sure to get protein every day, eat a lot of vegetables and fruit... I'm the one in need of explanation why I'm heavy!
@@annakirshenbaum1458 No need to be hateful. Yes, I did need an explanation because my caloric intake was less than 1100 a day for many years. Some days 0. I went 40 days without eating only drinking water and I did not lose any weight. I tried diet after diet and was always told I wasn't eating enough. I tried months and months of healthy eating with minimal success. I did not realize the stress and sleep component was so vital. Your situation doesn't make sense either, especially since you are eating healthy. Your body should be at a good weight. Apparently making sure you have the right amount of water is important. I was told once that I wasn't drinking enough, then was told I was drinking too much. Not sure how to figure out the right amount and the right type of exercise. I know figuring out how your body processes food is key. I am still experimenting with that since I know insulin levels affect everything. The one thing you can control is sleep. Hope you find success.
I am so fascinated by this material Tom. Thank you so very much. It is hard to imagine after 30 plus years of applying nutritional health practices to my life how I could be so ill-informed. I wanted to ask if this video is somewhere else in its entirety or is there a series of videos? It seems to start at an incomplete beginning. Mahalo
I really appreciate this! It solved so much puzzles in my mind. )) Really nice interview!
This is one of the best, thanks!
Rhonda, have a chat with this guy!
Straight to my water bottle with this interview!
Wow- this podcast make it all come together! Fantastic podcast.
Such a great and useful interview!
I lost all my baby weight at the age of 43 from intermittent fasting. I found that by sticking to a window of 2pm-7pm has done wonders for me I've gone from 90kgs to 68kgs (I started this exactly a year ago, I'm still going) and Sonny is now 2yrs old, I'm also still breast feeding with no problem at all. Perfect advice from this guy, I will now work on cutting out breads and chips. Yaaaay ;) LOve to everyone xxx

Fantastic interview, thank you Tom and Rick! This connects so many ‘dietary dots’. I will definitely be sharing this interview with family and friends.
Very interesting discussion. Thank you both.
If you are on a low carb diet eating real food, you will have to consciously ADD more salt to your diet. There's also a sweet spot for intake and longevity and it's higher than you might be led to believe.
bless you for this!
He's like a sweet granpa Bo Bridges scientist LOL. Brilliant talk! So many knowledge bombs, I'm gonna have to listen to this one twice. Tom, thank you for insisting on paraphrasing in a more functional/evolutional/mechanistic logic.. it makes the chip drop a lot of the times.
Yes Beau Bridges lol grandpa right on the money with that 😂
I am now listening for second time
This video is extremly helpful. Thank you.
This was great
Just ordered the book
Thank you 🙏🏼
Rick's hilarious, love his sense of humour! Legend.
Yes
Anyone who's confused and worried about what, how, and when to eat will either be irredeemably suicidal or severely depressed by this video. In a time when clarity and definitive information is needed to clear the perpetual fog that obscures this subject, we've got to do better.
I agree 🤯
Brilliant, and just bought the Audio book. I thought I knew a bit, this has blown my mind on this subject.
I went a few more time listened to properly journaling every point, almost 3 a4 . Great great 🙏🙏
Great informations . Thanks alot .
Just a reminder : l would like to explain the ( Zone 2 exercise ) . It occurs when you do a regular steady physical activity for a longer period of time while maintaining certain heart rate . For example : moderate jogging , rowing , swimming , walking . Its recommended to do 150 minutes of zone 2 exercise per week ( 50 minutes , three times weekly ) . For diabetics its better to do 300 minutes / week of zone 2 exercise . So its a form of a mild to moderate exercise but for a longer period of time .
Thank you!
Walking is so underrated. Wow
This is an amazing episode Tom!
The increasing awareness among multiple doctors, in multiple lines of research, that
humans evolved in concert with surrounding seasonal foods, day/night cycles and hot/cold periods is fascinating. We are deeply influenced by cyclical changes in our environment and seasonally available foods and we evolved that way. Modernity breaks the cycles that we lived with for hundreds of thousands, and millions of years.
Awesome information! Thankyou !
Flavored potato chips (salt, carb, plus msg), dips, salad dressing, and most canned soups, all have MSG.
Brilliant interview. I have been trying for years and years and years to convince everyone around me that sugar is toxic and that high GI carbs will not only make or keep you fat, but make you ill and old before your time. I agree 100% with everything here, but can I just add that resistance training also plays a very important role in not only strengthening the mitochondria but also generally helping the body in so many other ways. So yes, zone 2 training is brilliant for fat loss, but a balance of resistance training, a controlled amount of high intensity interval training, and the zone 2 training will work well. A big problem in countries where income levels are lower, is that the bad food is also the cheap food. I live in Namibia, and for many people here bread and sugar is often the one thing that they can consume in larger quantities because healthy food can also be expensive. It makes the process to help people live healthier so much harder, as economically it is just very hard for them.
Maybe they can implement fasting, since it's free. I feel like that's a good start!
Amazing ! Love this channel!
Dr. Rick Johnson is so sweet!
This is revolutionary. The most useful tip I can share for fat loss is that pasta, rice, and potatoes, once cooked and refrigerated, become like fiber and do not trigger insulin spikes (Even When Reheated!) It's called "resistant starch" and has been well researched. Also prebotic and feeds your good bacteria! I'm mostly living on resistant macaroni at the moment with Parmesian, avocado oil, and red pepper flakes.
my waste line proves otherwise
@Dust Storm Correct, just check your blood sugars after reheated potatoes and you will observe it in real time.
Pls. excuse me! I might be wrong but out of what Professor Johnson says here, I understand that we shouldn't consume rise, potatoes...and carbs, generally, or, eventually low carbon should be the advisable carbs to eat! Please, make me understand your theory with carbs cooked and refrigerated! Thank you!
I tried that using my free style 14 days continuous glucose sensor and my glucose went up just like with freshly cooked carbs.
Many tests show a spike when consuming resistant starches
I went vegan and all my blood test were perfectly normalized and cholesterol went from 5,5 to 3,2 and some digestive issues were gone. My B12 was above the range enormously high, my iron also and everything else was so surprising for my doctor she told me" what ever you are doing has amazing effect". I believe that some people are made to be vegan. Some are not. But based on my experience I would never go back to a normal diet again.
I totally agree with this, I think my body was unfortunatley designed for the exact opposite of veganism. Im intollerant or allergic to most legumes (especially soy), MSG, and many fruits like bananas and pineapple. I put weight on super easily with white carbs on top of brain fog, migraines and just bad mood/energy levels. My best friend is vegan and I would pretty much die if I ate her diet, but she thrives on it.
@STAR W *the possibilities are endless and so much fun... it's all here on TH-cam...1st, begin to Prep Prep Prep!! Chop chop* 🔪🍠🍋🍉🍊🍑🥑🥥🫒🍅🫑🫐🥝🍍🥦🍒🍐🧅🍄🧄🥔
@STAR W You should really not just transition to become a vegan in one day without doing tons of research first. There is a lot to learn, and not knowing what you are doing can potentially be very harmful to your health. I would highly recommend doing a slow transition and first cut out red meat and pork (pork is super harmful to your health, so I would definitely start with that), then white meat and eventually fish over a period of several months while implementing more and more vegetarian dishes so that your body can adjust more easily and so that you have time to learn what to eat and how to use different ingredients properly (like for instance beans, lentils and nuts needs to be soaked, spinach needs to be cooked etc, There's a lot more to be aware of too) and so that you can get used to vegan cooking. And you do need to cook your own food from scratch if you are going to be a vegan. All those vegan fake meats and other vegan processed foods that you can find in the supermarket are just as bad as processed foods with meats or dairy. Living on processed foods is definitely not a lifestyle you want to have if you aim to be healthy. I would highly recommend eating vegetarian once you have cut out the meat, meaning still eating some eggs and small amounts of dairy, and then go vegan when you feel you have the nutritional knowledge and cooking under control. I strongly advise not to put yourself in a box (like the vegan box), but rather follow your intuition on what to eat. There is nothing wrong in eating mostly vegan and once in a while eat some eggs or cheese in the beginning until you have it under control. And if your body should suddenly crave fish for example, that is a sign that you need to listen to the incredible intelligence of the body. It knows what it needs. Also, many vegans can be super judgmental and downright cruel to others if they don't completely fit their "perfect" box straight away, when I went vegan I almost wish I hadn't, just because I didn't want to belong to that "group" (many vegans are kind and good people, but the loudest once are not someone you want to be associated with, lol). There is nothing wrong in saying "I eat mostly vegan, and I am working on transitioning to a complete vegan diet and lifestyle as long as my body says yes". Just be smart about it. Your health should be your number one priority.
I have a friend who has been vegan for two decades: apart from intermittent iron deficiency (dark circles under eyes) she's fine. Really should drop the cigarettes and beer, imo.
@STAR W proteins and fats are not only in meat. Perhaps you should start off with the traditional ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet that has been around for millennia.
Fascinating! Excellent interview!
This information is amazing!
Excuse me for being dubious about believing anyone knows what happened billions of years ago, but I believe what he says about how our body works now!
Great show, I am curious if he ever mentioned breads like sprout breads, high grain etc.
Fantastic interview that hope to change my life (I just bought the book and looking forward to read it)

Superb Info which I will put to good use...!!!
Amazing... Thank you so much!!!
Makes sense to me. We would be eating our most calorie dense food in the autumn/harvest season. Grains, fruit, root vegetables etc. Sweeter, carbohydrate foods.
We would need the fat that these foods cause, to get us through the winter, when we wouldn't be able to leave our shelter as much as over the Spring/Summer time.
We'd lose some of our weight in the winter, but also over the active sunny period too, where we would be hunting, and living on protein.
Weight would therefore go up and down, with a cycle spreading across the whole year.
Like he said, people who couldn't put on weight, would often die off. Survival of the healthiest/fittest.
Now we've reversed these trends. The healthy fat-savers get huge, and die early.
It's totally against nature.
Yes !! I have always noticed a definite increase in appetite in October /November ! ! Might it be regulated by falling vitamin D levels as daylight hours dwindle !! Moral ! Take increased Vitamin D supplements in the fall !!
Depends on where you live. Our origins are in the Equator. We are warm blooded animals that where meant to live in a tropical environment with access to fruit year round. That means our "original" diet should consist of fruit (both sweet and non sweet aka vegetables) tubers, some saturated fat from coconuts and non fatty fish (tropical fish) The further we went into the mainland our diet became more dependent on pray, but still heavily relied on plant matter until people settled and agriculture began. I think our problem is caloric density. The moment we started mixing sugar, fat, starch and protein we started seeing an impact on weight. People that had access to all kinds of foods like meats and cakes and sweets (that where and have been not just sugar but a mixture of sugar, starch and fat) where the ones who developed problems like gout. Usually, the monarchs. Poor farmers seemed to have better health since they relied more on vegetable matter, some eggs, milk and meats on the side, not as the main dish. The cultures that seem to have better health overall are the ones who put an emphasis on plant matter. Also, people naturally gravitate towards fresh, lighter, watery foods when the weather is hot. You tend to be less hungry and more thirsty. And you tend to go for more calorie dense foods in the winter to up your temperature. It literally makes NO sense to eat the most calories during the summer. Not even animals do that. Again, depending where you live. If you live in a place with hard winters where no food is available, then animals obviously eat more when there is food available, during warmer spring and early autumn.
I loved this episode🙏💗!! Thank you so much!! I wonder what chain of reactions is induced by artificial sweeteners?
I wondered the same
Fantastic!
I’ve been teaching patients about these survival key that changes the metabolism…
It is unfortunate that you are forced into the crazy headlines. This is putting all the pieces of the puzzle together and it tells one hell of a story about our health.
It has twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat, seriously well done.
Prophet momhamed said : beware of the two whites.. Salt and sugar
Litterly he said try to avoid them best way u can..
He said this 1500 years ago
Anyway thank u so much n i start to enjoy this chanel ❤️❤️❤️
Peace be upon him
You should watch Snake diet videos lol. We need more salt than we think Sugar is bad
I'm a carnivore I don't eat sugar or carbs at all.I was dieing before switching to all meat diet. My thinking is very clear . My body is amazing lol. I've never been healthier in all my life.
Carnivorous diet make your body hyper acidic... For short trem its good but long term your body becomes will highly venerable to cancer
I tried carnivore for several weeks - Amazing results - got lazy and moved to Keto
what a great person Dr. Rick Johnson, he really made tests, experiments, studys with mices ( not like the other that write books and have Zero experiments )
very informative , thank you
I have definitely noticed this trigger being activated before - I eat a primarily keto diet. I eat very low carb and low fructose. People are always shocked by how little water I need on a normal day...im just not thirsty. However I noticed that when ever I go on a bender and eat pizza and bunch of carbs and fructose I am freakishly thirsty as well and water is extremely satisfying and I seemingly can't get enough.
Exactly !
I always give the example of putting a steak in water vs rice
If you put a steak in a pot of water it doesn’t absorb much water
Put a cup of rice in a pot of water, it’s double or even triple in size from absorbing water
This is what goes in in our bodies, my diet is 90% meat 5% raw dairy and 5% fruit
@@DivineGoddessOnEarth good comment
@@DivineGoddessOnEarth do you eat eggs at all?
@@Isaac5123 yes, pasture local eggs
@@DivineGoddessOnEarth well done. On a keto diet for about two weeks now. So much rubbish in the shops fortified with sugars and salt. Although I take sea salt which is needed. It took me a bit of time to realise that 1 gram of glycogen stored in the body reserves 3 grams of water
Hi Tom, from all this content on what to eat and what not to eat. Can all these be summed up and narrowed down to what to eat....coz I'm bogged down with all this information. Now I don't know what to eat.😥
THANK YOU for this!!!
Really impress the way he explains this complex subject in a way that anybody would understand, truly genius!!!
I was very slender, and ate like a pig until I was about 38. I always had some heart problems, and by about 38 it was bad enough for me to try eating protein in the form of powder soy to try to strengthen it. I drank a protein shake about four times a day. The good news is that the protein powder did strengthen my heart quite a bit. But I also gained weight for the first time in my life. Not a whole lot, but some, and apparently my metabolism slowed down or something, because I have not been since then very, very slender.
I really think that somehow weight is tied into metabolism. The same food, and more of it, that made my friends fat didn't put an ounce on me. I had a lot of milkshakes and a fair amount of sweets, too. The answer has to boil down to how to increase one's metabolism, and keep it high. This is obvious, because everybody gains, loses or stays the same weight at different rates.
Sunday March 13 I weighted 313lb now March 17 I weight 302 I lost 11 pound in 5 days let’s goooooo
I walk 30 minutes in the morning eat 1055 calories a day and walk again for 30 minutes after I also drink 2 times a day boil some water some fresh lemon,ginger and cinnamon.
My goal is to go 230 🙏
This is not my first time doing this wright loss I’ve lost 80 lbs before, doing the same thing
Do it at your own risk I am not responsible for serous death or injuries.
Good luck
What does your Diet consist of?
Also do you do incline walks or just regular walking?
A lot of that is probably water weight. I lost 200 lbs as well and you shouldn't cut your calories too low or eventually your body won't be able to lose weight you should diet on the most calories that you can and then when you stop losing then you go and reduce your calories. Because once your body gets used to really low calorie you'll eventually have to do a refeed where you have to increase your calories to get your metabolism up so you trick your body into losing weight again.
Remember it's not about losing the weight as fast as possible slow and steady is better because you have to make it a lifestyle or you just fall into old habits and regain it all back.
Good job! You can do it! I'm rooting for you
Very interesting interview and also very delightful person Mister Johnson
Just listening to this realizing why it’s so difficult for breastfeeding moms to lose weight- the dehydration piece was a huge light bulb moment. I presume so many have theorized that drinking water makes you lose weight because of the dehydration mechanism discussed here. So interesting!
Are you sure that they aren't having trouble losing weight bc lack of movement and having eaten a lot during pregnancy?. You only need to gain 1 kg per month, that's 9 kgs by the end of a pregnancy yet many women are putting more than double that amount, then they have a real hard time losing weight bc they continue to eat inadequately.
Long term breastfeeding actually helps losing weight but many breastfeeding mothers don't go past 6 months, few do 1 year which is the amount that should be done and is recommended by experts.
@@veronicaalmeda8014 great post.
I was breastfed till I was 3.
These days women eat telling themselves they’re eating for TWO as if the growing fetus needs as much as an adult!
@@veronicaalmeda8014 nope that’s not the case for everyone I actually lost 20th during my pregnancy that’s 20 lbs of my body weight not the baby, but the last month gain some back it was all water weight it’s also normal it our bodies preparing for delivery, this why after giving birth is normal to sweat like crazy, our bodies don’t need to retain as much water anymore so it naturally releases the extra water, and no all women eat doble or more when pregnant, there barely any space for extra food, most of my pregnancy all I ate was oranges 🍊, water and super light meals, otherwise I would vomit 🤢, I’m not the exception other women have worse
@@nobodynothing2594
I totally agree with your post. However when I was pregnant, I gained a whoppin 50lbs... eating healthy; my doctor swore I was eating junk, but I wasn't; I made my lunch daily and ate salads majority of the time.but Im on the tall side and was super active. After giving birth, I breastfed for 2 mths and literally lost all my weight. I was always told breastfeeding makes your stomach go back flat, it worked for me - 3Xs 👍🏽
But I have also remained active
@@afletcher257 thank you for sharing this.
I guess nature is amazing for what it does to each individual body & how it deals differently & bodies reacting differently.
