The no food, no water thing is absolutely horrible. You kind of need those things to survive, especially water. Still not as bad as the maggot diet though..
I remember when folks thought "gluten-free" diets automatically meant "healthy," but it's really only meant for people allergic to gluten. The food tends to be *more* unhealthy b/c it adds more sugar to make up for the taste.
It’s annoyed my Mom who is Celiac but I disagree. The biggest issue with Gluten free stuff is the texture and it’s dry plus the type of Flour affects the taste. Potato and beetroot flour tastes horrible but Rice flour or usage of Corn starch where you can is not that bad but it needs a thickening agent like Xathan gum to hold it together. Took her years of experimenting to get it right.
@@Chiller-pc1dvAs someone who has been working in a bakery at a grocery store for the past decade at this point, I'm well aware of the fad of gluten-free products, as I get asked about what we carry fairly frequently, and I always direct them to the designated aisle instead. But I agree that it's mostly for people who suffer from celiac disease, and I knew a co-worker who had to eat gluten-free things because of this
Actually, with the Beyonce bit when Josh talked about the detox diets, she only did that for a movie she was in and there was one article where she actually said that she would never recommend the Lemon Detox to anyone and that there are ways to lose weight healthily. So yeah, even Beyonce agrees that the detox diets are BS.
This is why diets in general do not work. These extreme methods are for the actors who have only weeks to get in shape for a role. Nothing can replace staying active and eating with purpose. You have to find a change in lifestyle that is sustainable and enjoyable.
We, in the modern world and in advanced nations, are so separated from our food sources that most of us cannot recognize what is and isn't real food. So, when fad diets come around and make things easier, it fools a lot of people into thinking they've found a way through a very difficult to understand subject.
Really well said, both OP and the person who responded. For long term weight loss and overall health, small but permanent lifestyle changes are best. I used to be quite heavy and would lose 50 lbs and gain it right back until I learned how nutrition worked and started hiking, (exercise that I actually enjoy). Moderation is so important!
The "gluten free diet" has actually made things worse for people with Celiac, since manufacturers no longer bother with making sure that the products that are gluten free are actually free of gluten.
I agree. So many gluten free foods, are manufactured on shared equipment, so it can't actually be considered gluten free. It's like they forget that cross-contamination is a major issue.
It never says any fucking thing about the size of the bottle required, and there is a staggering variety of sizes. I think the diet is feasible if the bottle is
I kept saying this for years DONT OVEREAT It’s not even that hard The only time I’ll eat a lot more than usual is if I had nothing to eat all day and I did a 5K You bet your butt I’m gonna cram a bacon king down my throat.
Thank you for saying about the Ketogenic (Keto) diet and epilepsy, it gets overlooked as just diet and not a treatment for those who have trouble controlling their seizures with medication.
Hey op, thanks for recognising this. My comments aren't directed at you, but the general public. Yes! OMG this! I hate people who take legit medical treatments and run with them as some sort of shiny spanky new diet. Go away, trendy f*cks. This is a medical diet, not your ticket to look faaaabulous in that swim suit this summer. You never did, you never will.
Works wonders with some PCOS patients as well, including myself. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the ketogenic diet - but there’s everything wrong with the misuse of it.
Happy he did that too. I have refractory epilepsy and use the keto diet to help lower the seizures but feel embarrassed to admit that I’m on it because of its stigma as a fad diet. Only good thing that came out of it is that the variety of “keto friendly” went up enormously. So happy I can eat ice cream!
My grandma has celiac disease. The problem with the popularity of the gluten-free """diets""" is that companies have become careless with actual gluten free foods, mainly doing them because of the popularity of the """diet""". So they do not ensure their foods are TRULY gluten free, so sometimes when she eats a "gluten-free" food, it actualy has some gluten in it, and she gets sick.
For some reason I thought the "cotton ball diet" was about cotton candy (fairy floss) and not about ACTUAL cotton balls. My first reaction to "can clog up the inside" was therefor "but sugar disolves... so how"... then the horror struck me... they are eating polyester O_O
To be fair @ajr74805 it didn't actually shock me as much as I hate to admit it. Years ago, I watched an episode of My Strange Addiction where a woman was eating about a kilo of cotton balls a day.
The reason people on the keto diet get constipation is because they forget that there are lots of high-fiber foods that are keto friendly, like avocados, olives, spinach, kale, certain berries etc
Yep. Also medically prescribed keto is different to internet keto, and can be tailored to the person needing it. Keto for epilepsy is different to keto for type two diabetics. People who use it in clinical settings are like Dr. Westman who learnt under Dr. Atkins after having people in his own practice who lost weight this way because they were fed up of nothing else working. Getting your information from a Dr who uses it everyday in their practice with success is the best source to get it from.
@@SEGASister It should have. This was back in the 80s. My mother’s friend saw an advertisement in the back of a magazine for pills with tapeworm eggs inside them. I don’t remember what magazine.
Some of my mom's coworkers have tried a few fad diets and beauty trends. We've been told that the Sensa powder you sprinkle on foods just makes the food taste AWFUL! Maybe that's how it works. You'll eat less because of how bad it tastes? ^_^0 Another Honorable Mention would be one this pill that was popular in the early 2000's. I can't remember the name, but it was supposed to be taken before meals so you could enjoy normally oily/greasy foods without your body absorbing said oils. The consequences? That oil needs to go somewhere, and...well, let's say it's a very powerful laxative. It was better to just not eat oily/greasy foods in the first place, making the pills redundant.
Ironically, you can take very low does miralax if you have chronic constipation due to paralysis. But the 2000s pill was awful, I had family who messed up their stomachs because of it. Portion control and exercise was the only diet that actually worked for them
Any dietary approach without a solid scientific background is quite atrocious, I think the worst part is when these diets are engrained within certain cultural groups.
Yeah, I think people will just believe anyone who is conventionally active saying you should do a fad diet hell we saw in this video Beyonce saying she did that detox diet and no hate to her but she is definitely not a doctor
I'm in agreement, here. Like what's the science behind this, if any? If no science, then I am definitely taking your claims with a grain of salt (hur hur). General consensus tends to lean towards "Everything in moderation", which I can get behind. Too much or too little of anything is bad.
I do try to eat healthy, but my problem is I really like junk food. I'm also a very picky eater because I have sensory issues with certain food textures
I also have sensory issues and sometimes I can’t stand certain textures, I get that. I have a pretty good balanced diet, but my problem is my endless chocolate addiction lol
My family is on a gluten-free diet because my daughter can't tolerate gluten. I have found that using oatmeal flour, almond flour, and Costco's gluten-free 1:1 mix flour can make most gluten dishes. Check into making your own bakery items, and you can save some money. I grind the oatmeal in the food processor to avoid the expensive oat flour. Hopefully, this will save some people money.
It apparently does help some people. Edit: Whoops. I meant the carnivore diet helps some people.😅Pathogens and parasites from raw meat is a different topic.
Do you mean like French tartar, Italian carpaccio, Swedish Rabiff or Japanese sashimi? It's fine as long as the slaughter is careful and food is handled correctly. It's really only a problem when you have those production line slaughterhouses, where they rely on spraying bleaches and maximising volume instead of using properly trained slaughterhouse workers to do a proper job.
One of the reasons why I requested The Biggest Loser as a potential worst reality show list, is because the show starves and dehydrates the contestants, while making them exercise why too much. Jillian Michaels someone who was known to be on the US and Australian, is another big reason why people hate The Biggest Loser.
I didn't know that Australia had their own version of the food pyramid. I thought that was universal. 4:06 I loved Cookie Monster as a kid, as with everything Sesame Street like Elmo, so I appreciate the representation, even though Cookie is aiming for a healthier diet. It started out as a playground rumor that eventually came true! 5:49 My mom is on a low sugar regimen because of her diabetes, but she always says to allow yourself a little bit of sweet things just so you dont miss out
Dishonorable mention to Jilly Juice. What is it? Replace all your food with smoothies made up of fermented cabbage, Himalayan salt (like a lot of it), and other ingredients but those two are the main ones. What does it supposedly do? Help you lose weight and "Cure cancer and homosexuality," among other things (yeah wtf). Side affects? Oh just some small headaches, stomach issues, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and eventually straight up death. I recommend That Creepy Reading's video on scammers because he goes more in depth with this scam.
don't worry, eventually she swapped to regular table salt instead of the himalayan and admited that was just because it was trendy. And don't forget, she also claimed it would let you grow your limbs back. And that the people who died because of it only died because they weren't doing it right. jokes aside, Jeff Holiday and Myles Power both have great videos on Jilly Juice too. It's truely horrific.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone talk about Narcorexia! That's the specific kind of ED I used to have, but people just brushed it off. I had to go to the hospital so many times because I was severely malnourished but the people around me kept encouraging it because I "looked good," it was an awful time in my life and I wish more people were aware of it.
Eating a couple of cookies for 1 day is very good! Eating a couple of cookies for 3 days and I will start missing the taste of oranges! Eating cookies for 1 week? Yeah nah kill me!
I agree with some of the commenters' problems with maintaining a proper diet (e.i. sensorary issues, love of junk food, picky eater), but another issue is budget restrictions, especially with food costs rising at the time. I just can't seem to enjoy eating healthy without breaking the bank 😢.
keep in mind that processed food is really expensive. also, while you can eat a healthy diet that is expensive (ie one with like heaps of out of season veggies and berries, salmon, processed 'healthy' food), you can also eat a cheap healthy diet (eating things like sardines, lots of cheap veggies (i never buy any over $6 a kilo), and reducing processed food). what are the healthy foods that you're talking about that are expensive?
Yknow, I can't remember what show in particular, but I think it was a sitcom on Disney or Nickelodeon? They had a bit for one episode of this little sister character who INSISTED on going on a gluten free diet, even against her doctor's clarifications that she really didn't need it. The reason? Because EVERYONE was going gluten free and it's something everyone from her friends to her TV idols were doing... I think coming across that episode was one of the first instances I remember being educated that "gluten free" isn't a key word for any other diet food like "sugar free" or "calorie free", it's legitimately for people with medical conditions. Good on them for getting the word out there.
Hey man - love the videos. I agree with a lot of what you say, but the point about the food pyramid I do challenge per your rules for commenting. The food pyramid/circle is largely influenced by the lobbying of each individual industry associated with the pyramid. I have lived with a long-term diet of low carbs (from bread at least) and high fruit, protein and water intake with relatively low amounts of vegetables (this is a bad part of my diet, I just have a hard time finding or finding in grocery stores the veggies I like) and have lost 40-50 pounds within a relatively shortish amount of time alongside exercise. Some people get super fat (like myself) from high carb intake so it’s not necessarily about having a “rounded” diet like we grew up thinking, it’s specific to each persons body and how their body reacts to things like sugar, carbs, etc.
Very true as every body is different. I have to be on a very high fat and salt diet due to being way too skinny and having POTS, but my bother had to cut way down on carbs so she could stay in a healthy range. Bodies are different and sometimes you need to experiment to find what works (safely. Preferably under a doctor's guidance)
As someone who's in recovery from anor*xia and orthor*xia, I can 100% confirm that if you were to trust every "health expert" out there, you would be left with nothing to eat. I've been guilt tripped into diet culture to the point that I was genuinely afraid of eating almost anything, especially if it was unhealthy. I would feel disgusted about myself if I ate a piece of chocolate... However, the more I restricted, the more I longed for those types of food. What I am trying to say is that a balanced diet is the best diet, in my opinion. Life is too short to miss out on delicious desserts that can totally be a part of your healthy diet. The more you say no, the more you will crave it. I believe that everyone deserves a happy and healthy life and a great relationship with food, as I do not wish it upon anyone to have such negative thoughts surrounding simple things in life that bring us joy, based on the nutritional value of the food we put into our body❤
What did you do to get over your ed without flipping too hard the other way . I think I'm on the deep end of orthorexia which was helpful for my fitness goals . But I think now it kind of is affecting my life and relationships as I can't trust anyone else's cooking to not have tons of unnecessary calories. I used to be obese but now that I'm down to a normal weight I don't think the Ed is so helpful anymore.
The trouble with "balanced" diets is your body may react to some of the foods (and you have no idea which ones). Best to learn to listen to your body, go on an elimination protocol and observe how your body reacts to recently introduced foods. Remove the foods your body doesn't do well with and balance with what's left.
Should point out the word fad needs to be put in front of that. Diet is a neutral word. It is a regimen of eating habits. Fad diets are usually tricks and stupidity. Healthy diets are good.
@@RaynaGrimm No diet is going to make you lose weight permanently. You're right it requires more than eating healthy to lose weight. That really is the problem with fad diets or treating actually healthy diets solely as a means to lose weight. What really doesn't help is the fact that we are so completely separated from our sources of food it puts corporations in charge of what we can put in our bodies. To be fair, some do provide healthful natural food, like fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, but they're almost considered luxury items. So, what do people have to eat otherwise? Heavily processed, industrial foodstuffs engineered by corporate food scientists to be far less satiating and far more calorically dense. Even things that are generally considered unhealthy to eat are almost health food in comparison if you make it yourself with fresh ingredients. The reason it's so hard to lose weight are effectively two-fold. One, our nature makes it so we hold onto fat to protect us in cases of prolonged starvation, which our ancestors had to endure before the modern age and large-scale agriculture became possible. Two, our brains are regularly being hacked by things like advertisement and flavor enhancing chemicals that make even healthful food addictive. A healthful diet and exercise are good, but without reprogramming, we fall into the difficulty you pointed out, falling back into bad habits. And with corporations having all the real power, the deprogramming we all need is not likely to come anytime soon.
2:26 kinda off-topic, but i LOVE that you used a Clone High clip here because the second episode of the original series is a parody of healthy eating PSAs in teen dramas, and they get Marilyn Manson to sing about the food pyramid, which is really funny considering you were just talking about it beforehand!! (Clone High is a special interest of mine and i always get so excited whenever it shows up in other videos haha)
Air Diet is basically the "Heavenly Express" diet because you'll be in LITERAL cloud nine pretty quick after adopting that "diet". My first thoughts on hearing #1 worst diet is basically: Excuse me, the WHAT diet? *cringe levels e t e r n a l* ^^;
In the US we changed it to a plate and a glass (the glass was for milk, but I kind of think it should be water and just include a little yogurt or cheese to represent dairy on the plate... you don't need as much dairy as you need fruit, veggies, and non-dairy protein.)
They say the paleo diet comprises of food eaten by Palaeolithic Man ate, since he was skinny…yeah, of course he was skinny, he had to hunt his own food, you’d be skinny too if it took you 3 days to track down a pizza. That being said, it seems decently balanced.
Reduce the number of processed sugar, corn syrup, soy, and oil intake (an average amount is fine and harmless, but too much is bad for you), a well balanced meal everyday, exercise regularly, quit smoking and drugs, reduce alcohol intake, and a good sleep schedule can vastly improve not only at our physical health, but also our mental health as well.
For number 1: As an Australian, I never knew this diet exist, and I really should not know about it. Because you have to be legally insane to do this to lose weight
Salt actually has nutritional benefits. Not only do they make meat and baked goods taste better, but they stabilize muscle movement and energize nerves.
theres nothing wrong with soy! its just that its in a lot of processed foods but that doesnt mean its automatically bad. water is in all processsed food but water is still good for you!
Hi Strider! Learning about these awful diets was interesting. I feel bad for the people who lost their lives to some of these, particularly the air diet, Sleeping Beauty Diet, and the vinegar diet. Hopefully, times will change and everyone will be able to succesfully have a balanced diet. I myself am currently having weight issues. It's mostly the snacking, though. Although since I sleep so late, I feel like I need to get up early and have breakfast to reduce my cravings. Tried Golo [supplement, not the diet], but it didn't work, neither did Slimfast. So, I have decided to try and reduce the number of snacks I have. Not going to be easy, but I will try.
I got admit, I love cookies as like a dessert or a snack but being on a cookie diet that sounds like a recipe for disaster plus I think most people need to worry about when it comes to eating healthy it’s just eat the right amount of healthy things stay active and remember to drink plenty of water
Not quite. It's only in animals and not plants. And poisonous animals like poison dart frogs have this too, along with venomous animals such as the Brazilian Wandering Spider
Academics or medical professionals (I forget which) sometimes mix the two up. Toxin and toxicant are different, though people often mean toxicant when they say toxin. Also, while toxin and detox have become buzzwords and one of the liver's primary functions is to filter out toxic substances, bioaccumulation can be a problem, the liver’s ability to detox can be inhibited from bioaccumulation of toxic substances, and the body doesn't know how to eliminate every toxic substance (the dose makes the poison, but it's more convenient to just say toxic substance). Certain foods and products can support detoxification or can help remove certain toxic substances (e.g. by binding to them), but there is a lot of misinformation and imprecise or poorly worded claims, a lot of products have poor quality control, and a lot of products don't do what they claim to do. Some are even harmful or dangerous. Although, I don't think the intent is always to deceive people. Just because something helps eliminate a particular toxic substance doesn't mean it helps eliminate every toxic substance also, and in the case of activated charcoal, activated charcoal can pull certain essential nutrients out of the body too and can be harsh on teeth.
It's crazy what types of measures people will go through just to lose some chub or belly fat. At that point, its less of a health or diet issue and more of a self-image issue. Sometimes, people need to realize that this shit takes time. It took me one whole year to lose 40 pounds (18 kg), and that was from eating less junk and regular exercise. And it wasn't until a whole year later that i noticed any significant changes. And dont even get me started on people taking Ozempic, an injection that treats type 2 diabetes, just to lose some weight...
I’m going to be honest, I went into this video bracing for bad takes. It is very easy to mess up talking about sensitive topics like this. But as always, strider, you did a great job with it! :)
12:55 wait did anyone mention men during the Vietnam war used to shallow cotton balls? It was so when they got a medical exam when being drafted, it would show up as shadows as x-rays and they'd be dismissed from duty. Might be an urban legend though. Also the special k diet!! Oh man... "You are beautiful. But try to lose 5lbs" High school was diet central.. it makes me mad now because I was never anything but a "normal" body weight and my obsession over it throughout my teenhood is upsetting Great video! I love learning about this!
The only one of these diets that I actually tried was the gluten-free diet back when I was a teenager and that wasn't my idea, it was my parents. And from what my dad remembered, it didn't really do me any good. I'll admit that my regular everyday eating can be questionable, but I'm always taking walks and bike rides. Plus part of my job involves taking in shopping carts from outside and bringing them inside or to the sides of the entrance, so that REALLY helps in ranking up my steps.
Reducing ultra processed foods to just a treat in my diet has been the biggest thing for me. I didn't realise how unsatisfied I felt until I started eating home cooked meals again. It's never too late to learn how to cook, and to become educated in portion control and nutrition!
I’m laughing that Beyoncé claims that she lost 20lbs at all. I mean she is skinny and the only way she could have 20 pounds to lose is moments before giving birth to her twins.
Oh wow, i couldn't even believe half of these diets existed, thanks for talking about them! I DO have tried to follow a keto diet but maybe I should look a bit into the modified Atkins diet, if only at least out of curiosity. Here in Mexico we used the food pyramid, but switched to the Healthy Eating Plate because there were people who would think the foods at the top had to be eaten the most, I guess this is similar to the food circle.
omg i made a cameo in a phantomstrider video anyway, to clear up my issue wuth the carnivore diet isbt just because it promotes only eating meat but because of influencers (mainly on tiktok) also ptomoting the consumption of pure grease, many also make outlandish claims like with the carnivore diet you wont need to shower anymore. it's just frustrating to see this diet be matketed to impressionable people
Sorry to hear that it didn't help much with seizures 😞 The study that I saw did find it varied from person to person, and I'm sorry it didn't work for you personally. Hopefully there's other medications or treatments that have assisted you since. At least a little 🙂
We did the KETO diet a few years ago, and it works well for losing weight. And it allows a lot of very tasty food, as long as it's carb free. However, it was never intended as a long term lifestyle, as it raises your cholesterol levels. You get on it, lose your weight, and then get off, but then maintain your weight with a healthy combination of proper diet and exercise. The big problem is, so many get on this diet, lose their weight, but never maintain it.
I love the hoodohoodlum collabs, his voice is so nostalgic from me. his videos were part of my first introduction to creepypasta, it’s just so odd to me for some reason cuz the content you both make separately doesn’t feel similar at all.
@@samariathemaniac anything in moderation is okay. Completely cutting out a thing usually isn’t good unless you have conditions that require that exclusion.
Apologies for my rambling ahead of time. I actually ran into someone on the carnivore diet in the wild and the whole experience was like talking to a militant vegan. Worst part was having to call them out for heavily implying that the carnivore diet cures autism. I set them off twice for mentioning my love of mac and peas(mac and cheese with peas). I shared a discord server with this person and they'd talk about there being studies on it being good for you without showing the studies. I love meat a lot, but man, I don't think I could go a week without any vegetables.
About 15 years ago I tried the HCG diet. I got a small bottle of the HCG hormone, had to put five drops under my tongue four times a day, could not eat or drink anything for 15 min afterwards. The diet limits you to 500 calories a day. I was on it for months and yeah, I lost a lot of weight, but man I got so sick! My insomnia spun outa control, I couldn’t think straight most of the time, and my memory was awful. The only good thing that came out of that diet for me was that I lost my taste for lost sweet things. I don’t like most deserts anymore, I don’t drink soda anymore, and I cannot have my coffee or tea with sugar in it anymore.
The No Sugar diet could easily be changed to the No Added Sugar diet and it would be just fine. By doing the No Sugar Diet you're actually cutting out important stuff from your system, but by doing the No Added Sugar diet it might take you a bit to adjust to the change, but it can actually help you lose weight and be healthy at the same time.
You point a lot to the food pyramid, I don't know the history of the Australian food pyramid, but what I do know is the American food pyramid isn't based on total science, and a lot of it is due to corporate lobbying
You're welcome to make strong claims like this. But would you have some reputable sources to back your claims that the food pyramid is due to corporate lobbying and is not nutritionally accurate?
@@phantomstrider it definitely isnt really a primary source, but the TV show Adam ruins everything did do a segment on the food pyramid's history, as did the TH-cam channel the food theorists. Iirc, after the rationing during the second world war, they needed a way to get weights back, so the government recommended eating more. After everything went back to normal, the gov wanted to recommend eating less, but because that would cut into food profits, companies lobbied to recommend choosing different options instead of eating less. I haven't looked at the sources myself but I know they list their sources
@@littlemacisunderrated412 To be fair the food pyramid I showed you was modified based on modern day recommendations from Australia and Ireland rather than America (thus fruit and vegetables are at the bottom and not grains). Not based on the World War 2 recommendations. So you'll find grains are not as high priority as fruit and vegetables. Which I still think is a good guideline compared to the average American diet. (Sources: www.safefood.net/healthy-eating/guidelines/food-pyramid nutritionaustralia.org/fact-sheets/healthy-eating-pyramid/ ) And I'm sorry but I just don't find TH-cam channels like food theory as trustworthy sources as Ireland and Australia nutritionists.
@@phantomstrider that's a completely understandable viewpoint. It hasn't occurred to me that it was a modified version. And I guess I do trust Australia to actually give accurate information.
@@littlemacisunderrated412 It was a perfectly fair question and I always appreciate seeing people question their sources 🙂I think the biggest regret I have for this video is not making it clearer that I was using an updated food pyramid + the food circle, as you weren't the first person to point out that there's contention over the old food pyramid. Still, I look back and think overall it was a relatively informed, educated message to viewers even if I wasn't clear enough on some stuff. Thanks for the chat on this macisunderrated 👍
6:20-7:30 Too many of these zero sugar diets get it wrong. It's not about removing sugar, it's about removing refined and processed sugar (among other such ingredients). The human body is certainly resilient and adaptable, but we (myself included, big time) shove WAY too much processed crap down our traps on a daily basis. As with anything else, including even water, we have to use moderation. Some things, however, deserve much greater moderation than others. You'd have to drink quite a bit of water to cause yourself harm, but it takes surprisingly little sugar (relatively speaking) to start causing problems. I'm glad too see you're one who actually understands this. Glad to know you do your homework.
It's very hard to create a generic balanced diet. There are so many different unique dietary needs for people. A diet that helps you thrive might kill the guy next to you. Add on top of it big agribusiness, fast food, and food processors, it gets harder and harder to find a healthful diet. Only things I can say with any confidence is drink plenty of clean water, don't stuff yourself full, cut down on processed sugars, and stay away from anything that's heavily processed. Sad thing is, for too many people, that list I just made is difficult to impossible because they live in food deserts.

The what 😨
I remember when folks thought "gluten-free" diets automatically meant "healthy," but it's really only meant for people allergic to gluten. The food tends to be *more* unhealthy b/c it adds more sugar to make up for the taste.
It’s annoyed my Mom who is Celiac but I disagree. The biggest issue with Gluten free stuff is the texture and it’s dry plus the type of Flour affects the taste. Potato and beetroot flour tastes horrible but Rice flour or usage of Corn starch where you can is not that bad but it needs a thickening agent like Xathan gum to hold it together. Took her years of experimenting to get it right.
I fully agree, it is for those with medical conditions, I really don't understand why anyone without would want to do a gluten free diet.
My mom still thinks gluten free is healthy.

Actually, with the Beyonce bit when Josh talked about the detox diets, she only did that for a movie she was in and there was one article where she actually said that she would never recommend the Lemon Detox to anyone and that there are ways to lose weight healthily. So yeah, even Beyonce agrees that the detox diets are BS.
This is why diets in general do not work. These extreme methods are for the actors who have only weeks to get in shape for a role.
Nothing can replace staying active and eating with purpose. You have to find a change in lifestyle that is sustainable and enjoyable.
We, in the modern world and in advanced nations, are so separated from our food sources that most of us cannot recognize what is and isn't real food. So, when fad diets come around and make things easier, it fools a lot of people into thinking they've found a way through a very difficult to understand subject.
Really well said, both OP and the person who responded. For long term weight loss and overall health, small but permanent lifestyle changes are best. I used to be quite heavy and would lose 50 lbs and gain it right back until I learned how nutrition worked and started hiking, (exercise that I actually enjoy). Moderation is so important!
Don't forget, the *_COCAINE_* DIET.
The "gluten free diet" has actually made things worse for people with Celiac, since manufacturers no longer bother with making sure that the products that are gluten free are actually free of gluten.
I agree. So many gluten free foods, are manufactured on shared equipment, so it can't actually be considered gluten free. It's like they forget that cross-contamination is a major issue.
Well that sucks (and as a guy with celiac disease, I'm concerned about that)
@@MrWill9002 I know, I have to constantly check to see if they list that it was on dedicated equipment or on shared equipment.
I have seen Bananas with Gluten Free stickers on them. I'm like, "Well DUH!"
One of my aunts jumps from diet to diet, even this one...
There's also the wine diet, which straight up involves drinking AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF WINE PER DAY, the only other foods you can eat are eggs and steak
This should be called the Dionysus diet because the only person who could survive on this diet is Dionysus.
Great reference ❤
“Here’s what I have that you don’t: A functioning liver, depth perception, and a pulse!”
An entire bottle like I get maybe a glass for heart health but a whole bottle is the worst thing to do.
It never says any fucking thing about the size of the bottle required, and there is a staggering variety of sizes. I think the diet is feasible if the bottle is
You know what has been working best for me? PORTION CONTROL! No one ever mentions how important portion control is!
Portion control? That’s silly. Next thing you’re going to tell me I should exercise too. 🤪
Eat more food NOW!
We need fat slaves for the sacrifices!
@@zaphod100 The whole meme of "you need exercise" was pushed by soda companies.
I kept saying this for years
DONT OVEREAT
It’s not even that hard
The only time I’ll eat a lot more than usual is if I had nothing to eat all day and I did a 5K
You bet your butt I’m gonna cram a bacon king down my throat.

The Cookie Diet is so dumb, even fricken Cookie Monster couldn't stay on it

You learn something new from Phantomstrider with every video he posts.
I am. Enlightened. *opens third eye*
Thank you for saying about the Ketogenic (Keto) diet and epilepsy, it gets overlooked as just diet and not a treatment for those who have trouble controlling their seizures with medication.
Hey op, thanks for recognising this. My comments aren't directed at you, but the general public.
Yes! OMG this! I hate people who take legit medical treatments and run with them as some sort of shiny spanky new diet. Go away, trendy f*cks. This is a medical diet, not your ticket to look faaaabulous in that swim suit this summer. You never did, you never will.
Works wonders with some PCOS patients as well, including myself. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the ketogenic diet - but there’s everything wrong with the misuse of it.
Happy he did that too. I have refractory epilepsy and use the keto diet to help lower the seizures but feel embarrassed to admit that I’m on it because of its stigma as a fad diet. Only good thing that came out of it is that the variety of “keto friendly” went up enormously. So happy I can eat ice cream!
My grandma has celiac disease. The problem with the popularity of the gluten-free """diets""" is that companies have become careless with actual gluten free foods, mainly doing them because of the popularity of the """diet""". So they do not ensure their foods are TRULY gluten free, so sometimes when she eats a "gluten-free" food, it actualy has some gluten in it, and she gets sick.
For some reason I thought the "cotton ball diet" was about cotton candy (fairy floss) and not about ACTUAL cotton balls. My first reaction to "can clog up the inside" was therefor "but sugar disolves... so how"... then the horror struck me... they are eating polyester O_O
That diet made me gag just hearing about it 💀
Yeah when I saw that in this video, it made me go "Excuse me, w h a t!?" ^^;
@@DoofenSpyroDragon16 Same.
I heard that some super models were forced to go on this diet
To be fair @ajr74805 it didn't actually shock me as much as I hate to admit it.
Years ago, I watched an episode of My Strange Addiction where a woman was eating about a kilo of cotton balls a day.
25:46 Or, in layman's terms, starving to death? Yeah, I think I can see why this one was at the top of the list.
The reason people on the keto diet get constipation is because they forget that there are lots of high-fiber foods that are keto friendly, like avocados, olives, spinach, kale, certain berries etc
Yep. Also medically prescribed keto is different to internet keto, and can be tailored to the person needing it. Keto for epilepsy is different to keto for type two diabetics. People who use it in clinical settings are like Dr. Westman who learnt under Dr. Atkins after having people in his own practice who lost weight this way because they were fed up of nothing else working. Getting your information from a Dr who uses it everyday in their practice with success is the best source to get it from.
Thanks for the interesting comments! I'm fascinated by this topic so I love hearing the personal experience of you and others with diets and foods.
Oh, and one of my mother’s friends actually did the tape worm diet. It went about as well as you’d expect with giving oneself a tapeworm. 🤢
And here I thought this diet went out with World War I.
@@SEGASister It should have. This was back in the 80s. My mother’s friend saw an advertisement in the back of a magazine for pills with tapeworm eggs inside them. I don’t remember what magazine.
I just watched and omg thank you strider for featuring me!!
Some of my mom's coworkers have tried a few fad diets and beauty trends. We've been told that the Sensa powder you sprinkle on foods just makes the food taste AWFUL! Maybe that's how it works. You'll eat less because of how bad it tastes? ^_^0
Another Honorable Mention would be one this pill that was popular in the early 2000's. I can't remember the name, but it was supposed to be taken before meals so you could enjoy normally oily/greasy foods without your body absorbing said oils. The consequences? That oil needs to go somewhere, and...well, let's say it's a very powerful laxative. It was better to just not eat oily/greasy foods in the first place, making the pills redundant.
Just take miralax at that point 🤣
It was alli max, I remember it was recommended that you wear dark clothes while using it because there was a good chance you’d shit your pants
Ironically, you can take very low does miralax if you have chronic constipation due to paralysis. But the 2000s pill was awful, I had family who messed up their stomachs because of it. Portion control and exercise was the only diet that actually worked for them
Any dietary approach without a solid scientific background is quite atrocious, I think the worst part is when these diets are engrained within certain cultural groups.
Yeah, I think people will just believe anyone who is conventionally active saying you should do a fad diet hell we saw in this video Beyonce saying she did that detox diet and no hate to her but she is definitely not a doctor
Yeah, I think that should be an INSTANT Red Flag to anyone who does any sort of diet! Is there ANY scientific study or anything that supports it.
Like fasting.
I'm in agreement, here.
Like what's the science behind this, if any? If no science, then I am definitely taking your claims with a grain of salt (hur hur).
General consensus tends to lean towards "Everything in moderation", which I can get behind. Too much or too little of anything is bad.
I do try to eat healthy, but my problem is I really like junk food. I'm also a very picky eater because I have sensory issues with certain food textures
Same here for me. I try to have a healthy diet, but healthy food has weird textures. And since I do sleep not too well, I also get cravings.
I also have sensory issues and sometimes I can’t stand certain textures, I get that.
I have a pretty good balanced diet, but my problem is my endless chocolate addiction lol
I'm the same way. Although I enjoy avocados, meat, bananas and so on.
me too! my biggest weakness is eating chips!

As a person who has to go on a Gluten Free diet, I can confirm that it does cost more money than the non-gluten-free foods.
My hearts out with ya. My Uncle has celiac, which is why gluten-free triggers me. He could die if he ate pizza.
My family is on a gluten-free diet because my daughter can't tolerate gluten. I have found that using oatmeal flour, almond flour, and Costco's gluten-free 1:1 mix flour can make most gluten dishes. Check into making your own bakery items, and you can save some money. I grind the oatmeal in the food processor to avoid the expensive oat flour. Hopefully, this will save some people money.
When the carnivore diet was brought up, I'm surprised he didn't mention how some people take it as far as eating the meat raw, now THAT is disturbing
Yowch! That's gotta give them alot of bacteria issues.
It apparently does help some people.
Edit: Whoops. I meant the carnivore diet helps some people.😅Pathogens and parasites from raw meat is a different topic.
people also took it as far as possible by eating raw animal testicles
@@littlepleeth9423 Those were the guys that were afraid of being seen as feminine or gay.
Do you mean like French tartar, Italian carpaccio, Swedish Rabiff or Japanese sashimi? It's fine as long as the slaughter is careful and food is handled correctly.
It's really only a problem when you have those production line slaughterhouses, where they rely on spraying bleaches and maximising volume instead of using properly trained slaughterhouse workers to do a proper job.
One of the reasons why I requested The Biggest Loser as a potential worst reality show list, is because the show starves and dehydrates the contestants, while making them exercise why too much.
Jillian Michaels someone who was known to be on the US and Australian, is another big reason why people hate The Biggest Loser.
That is fucked up on so many levels.
I didn't know that Australia had their own version of the food pyramid. I thought that was universal.
4:06 I loved Cookie Monster as a kid, as with everything Sesame Street like Elmo, so I appreciate the representation, even though Cookie is aiming for a healthier diet. It started out as a playground rumor that eventually came true!
5:49 My mom is on a low sugar regimen because of her diabetes, but she always says to allow yourself a little bit of sweet things just so you dont miss out
The Cookie diet only works for the Cookie Monster but saying that heard he's eating healthier now
That was a whole bit on one of Sesame Street’s videos on Wired. (It’s the Google autocomplete questions interview; definitely a very cute watch.)
I love the cookie diet, though i saved money and got Chips ahoy instead.
Dishonorable mention to Jilly Juice.
What is it? Replace all your food with smoothies made up of fermented cabbage, Himalayan salt (like a lot of it), and other ingredients but those two are the main ones.
What does it supposedly do? Help you lose weight and "Cure cancer and homosexuality," among other things (yeah wtf).
Side affects? Oh just some small headaches, stomach issues, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and eventually straight up death.
I recommend That Creepy Reading's video on scammers because he goes more in depth with this scam.
Omg I remember Jilly Juice!! Definitely one of the more amusing ones I thought, but a bit niche.
don't worry, eventually she swapped to regular table salt instead of the himalayan and admited that was just because it was trendy. And don't forget, she also claimed it would let you grow your limbs back.
And that the people who died because of it only died because they weren't doing it right.
jokes aside, Jeff Holiday and Myles Power both have great videos on Jilly Juice too. It's truely horrific.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone talk about Narcorexia! That's the specific kind of ED I used to have, but people just brushed it off. I had to go to the hospital so many times because I was severely malnourished but the people around me kept encouraging it because I "looked good," it was an awful time in my life and I wish more people were aware of it.
I would love to see you do the opposite of this! Like the best kinda healthy diets for longevity. Would be interesting.
I wouldn't mind seeing mire positive videos myself. Like the 10 protests that changed things.

Eating a couple of cookies for 1 day is very good!
Eating a couple of cookies for 3 days and I will start missing the taste of oranges!
Eating cookies for 1 week? Yeah nah kill me!
I agree with some of the commenters' problems with maintaining a proper diet (e.i. sensorary issues, love of junk food, picky eater), but another issue is budget restrictions, especially with food costs rising at the time. I just can't seem to enjoy eating healthy without breaking the bank 😢.
Try frozen produce and look for cheap fruits/veg
keep in mind that processed food is really expensive. also, while you can eat a healthy diet that is expensive (ie one with like heaps of out of season veggies and berries, salmon, processed 'healthy' food), you can also eat a cheap healthy diet (eating things like sardines, lots of cheap veggies (i never buy any over $6 a kilo), and reducing processed food). what are the healthy foods that you're talking about that are expensive?
Yknow, I can't remember what show in particular, but I think it was a sitcom on Disney or Nickelodeon? They had a bit for one episode of this little sister character who INSISTED on going on a gluten free diet, even against her doctor's clarifications that she really didn't need it. The reason? Because EVERYONE was going gluten free and it's something everyone from her friends to her TV idols were doing... I think coming across that episode was one of the first instances I remember being educated that "gluten free" isn't a key word for any other diet food like "sugar free" or "calorie free", it's legitimately for people with medical conditions. Good on them for getting the word out there.
I vaguely recall that too. Definitely was a live action show.

Hey man - love the videos. I agree with a lot of what you say, but the point about the food pyramid I do challenge per your rules for commenting. The food pyramid/circle is largely influenced by the lobbying of each individual industry associated with the pyramid. I have lived with a long-term diet of low carbs (from bread at least) and high fruit, protein and water intake with relatively low amounts of vegetables (this is a bad part of my diet, I just have a hard time finding or finding in grocery stores the veggies I like) and have lost 40-50 pounds within a relatively shortish amount of time alongside exercise. Some people get super fat (like myself) from high carb intake so it’s not necessarily about having a “rounded” diet like we grew up thinking, it’s specific to each persons body and how their body reacts to things like sugar, carbs, etc.
Very true as every body is different. I have to be on a very high fat and salt diet due to being way too skinny and having POTS, but my bother had to cut way down on carbs so she could stay in a healthy range. Bodies are different and sometimes you need to experiment to find what works (safely. Preferably under a doctor's guidance)
As someone who's in recovery from anor*xia and orthor*xia, I can 100% confirm that if you were to trust every "health expert" out there, you would be left with nothing to eat. I've been guilt tripped into diet culture to the point that I was genuinely afraid of eating almost anything, especially if it was unhealthy. I would feel disgusted about myself if I ate a piece of chocolate... However, the more I restricted, the more I longed for those types of food.
What I am trying to say is that a balanced diet is the best diet, in my opinion. Life is too short to miss out on delicious desserts that can totally be a part of your healthy diet. The more you say no, the more you will crave it. I believe that everyone deserves a happy and healthy life and a great relationship with food, as I do not wish it upon anyone to have such negative thoughts surrounding simple things in life that bring us joy, based on the nutritional value of the food we put into our body❤
What did you do to get over your ed without flipping too hard the other way . I think I'm on the deep end of orthorexia which was helpful for my fitness goals . But I think now it kind of is affecting my life and relationships as I can't trust anyone else's cooking to not have tons of unnecessary calories. I used to be obese but now that I'm down to a normal weight I don't think the Ed is so helpful anymore.
The trouble with "balanced" diets is your body may react to some of the foods (and you have no idea which ones).
Best to learn to listen to your body, go on an elimination protocol and observe how your body reacts to recently introduced foods.
Remove the foods your body doesn't do well with and balance with what's left.
Diets can be both helpful and harmful
Mostly harmful. Barring special reasons, the only thing you need is balance.
Should point out the word fad needs to be put in front of that. Diet is a neutral word. It is a regimen of eating habits. Fad diets are usually tricks and stupidity. Healthy diets are good.
@@RaynaGrimm No diet is going to make you lose weight permanently. You're right it requires more than eating healthy to lose weight. That really is the problem with fad diets or treating actually healthy diets solely as a means to lose weight. What really doesn't help is the fact that we are so completely separated from our sources of food it puts corporations in charge of what we can put in our bodies.
To be fair, some do provide healthful natural food, like fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, but they're almost considered luxury items. So, what do people have to eat otherwise? Heavily processed, industrial foodstuffs engineered by corporate food scientists to be far less satiating and far more calorically dense. Even things that are generally considered unhealthy to eat are almost health food in comparison if you make it yourself with fresh ingredients.
The reason it's so hard to lose weight are effectively two-fold. One, our nature makes it so we hold onto fat to protect us in cases of prolonged starvation, which our ancestors had to endure before the modern age and large-scale agriculture became possible. Two, our brains are regularly being hacked by things like advertisement and flavor enhancing chemicals that make even healthful food addictive. A healthful diet and exercise are good, but without reprogramming, we fall into the difficulty you pointed out, falling back into bad habits. And with corporations having all the real power, the deprogramming we all need is not likely to come anytime soon.
If you don't do the diet right, you miss a part of it and it just becomes die

2:26 kinda off-topic, but i LOVE that you used a Clone High clip here because the second episode of the original series is a parody of healthy eating PSAs in teen dramas, and they get Marilyn Manson to sing about the food pyramid, which is really funny considering you were just talking about it beforehand!!

Excuse me, the WHAT diet?

I don't watch this channel as often as I used to, but these videos never fail to comfort me. Thanks PS, you're a real gem!
In the US we changed it to a plate and a glass (the glass was for milk, but I kind of think it should be water and just include a little yogurt or cheese to represent dairy on the plate... you don't need as much dairy as you need fruit, veggies, and non-dairy protein.)
It's more of the calcium you need, which you can get from other foods that doesn't have milk.
Man, I wish this video had come out when my biology class did an assignment on fad diets. Great video as always Strider!
I'm not going lie, I've been excited for this one since strider had it in the poll
I’ve been excited for every video he makes
I love how strider’s videos are so informative, cosy and the perfect length. Definitely one of the most balanced channels out there

They say the paleo diet comprises of food eaten by Palaeolithic Man ate, since he was skinny…yeah, of course he was skinny, he had to hunt his own food, you’d be skinny too if it took you 3 days to track down a pizza.
That being said, it seems decently balanced.
I love your videos, and since you started to make cartoon videos again, I've been more intrested in your food videos as well! Keep up the good work!
Reduce the number of processed sugar, corn syrup, soy, and oil intake (an average amount is fine and harmless, but too much is bad for you), a well balanced meal everyday, exercise regularly, quit smoking and drugs, reduce alcohol intake, and a good sleep schedule can vastly improve not only at our physical health, but also our mental health as well.
For number 1: As an Australian, I never knew this diet exist, and I really should not know about it. Because you have to be legally insane to do this to lose weight
Salt actually has nutritional benefits. Not only do they make meat and baked goods taste better, but they stabilize muscle movement and energize nerves.
Cut the soy and corn syrup. it's that simple.
@@jlev1028 True, but too much can be harmful to your body
theres nothing wrong with soy! its just that its in a lot of processed foods but that doesnt mean its automatically bad. water is in all processsed food but water is still good for you!

Hi Strider! Learning about these awful diets was interesting. I feel bad for the people who lost their lives to some of these, particularly the air diet, Sleeping Beauty Diet, and the vinegar diet. Hopefully, times will change and everyone will be able to succesfully have a balanced diet. I myself am currently having weight issues. It's mostly the snacking, though. Although since I sleep so late, I feel like I need to get up early and have breakfast to reduce my cravings. Tried Golo [supplement, not the diet], but it didn't work, neither did Slimfast. So, I have decided to try and reduce the number of snacks I have. Not going to be easy, but I will try.
Honestly just eat small meals regularly, then be a snacc
Interesting video strider there’s definitely some dangerous diets out there and people sad they always seem to fall for the same trick .
I love to watch this while eating chocolate ice cream at 12pm with cereal, 5 chocolate bars, a banana and milk as breakfast
I got admit, I love cookies as like a dessert or a snack but being on a cookie diet that sounds like a recipe for disaster plus I think most people need to worry about when it comes to eating healthy it’s just eat the right amount of healthy things stay active and remember to drink plenty of water
There's only one character who could do it, yes, Cookie Monster
6:25 Making fiends mentioned!
Great topic! Love your channel.

Fruit and veg are important, but hardly the most important.
Isn't that definition of toxin describing venom? Something harmful in a plant/animal that gets injected into something else via a bite or sting.
Not quite. It's only in animals and not plants. And poisonous animals like poison dart frogs have this too, along with venomous animals such as the Brazilian Wandering Spider
Toxin refers to either poison or venom.
Academics or medical professionals (I forget which) sometimes mix the two up. Toxin and toxicant are different, though people often mean toxicant when they say toxin.
Also, while toxin and detox have become buzzwords and one of the liver's primary functions is to filter out toxic substances, bioaccumulation can be a problem, the liver’s ability to detox can be inhibited from bioaccumulation of toxic substances, and the body doesn't know how to eliminate every toxic substance (the dose makes the poison, but it's more convenient to just say toxic substance).
Certain foods and products can support detoxification or can help remove certain toxic substances (e.g. by binding to them), but there is a lot of misinformation and imprecise or poorly worded claims, a lot of products have poor quality control, and a lot of products don't do what they claim to do. Some are even harmful or dangerous. Although, I don't think the intent is always to deceive people.
Just because something helps eliminate a particular toxic substance doesn't mean it helps eliminate every toxic substance also, and in the case of activated charcoal, activated charcoal can pull certain essential nutrients out of the body too and can be harsh on teeth.
I love the food videos. Keep it up!
It's crazy what types of measures people will go through just to lose some chub or belly fat. At that point, its less of a health or diet issue and more of a self-image issue. Sometimes, people need to realize that this shit takes time. It took me one whole year to lose 40 pounds (18 kg), and that was from eating less junk and regular exercise. And it wasn't until a whole year later that i noticed any significant changes.
And dont even get me started on people taking Ozempic, an injection that treats type 2 diabetes, just to lose some weight...
What mix of the Chaotix theme is that? I love Knuckles Chaotix!
This video’s thumbnail pic clearly says, “😱HOLY SHRIMP!!!”

Congratulations on having 300 videos on your channel, Phantomstrider!
I’m going to be honest, I went into this video bracing for bad takes. It is very easy to mess up talking about sensitive topics like this. But as always, strider, you did a great job with it! :)
Thank you! I tried my best for this particularly sensitive subject for many people.
Wow a dietician said "you need sugar" she must be right.
The food pyramid is your source lol
12:55 wait did anyone mention men during the Vietnam war used to shallow cotton balls? It was so when they got a medical exam when being drafted, it would show up as shadows as x-rays and they'd be dismissed from duty.
Might be an urban legend though.
Also the special k diet!! Oh man... "You are beautiful. But try to lose 5lbs"
High school was diet central.. it makes me mad now because I was never anything but a "normal" body weight and my obsession over it throughout my teenhood is upsetting
Great video! I love learning about this!
The only one of these diets that I actually tried was the gluten-free diet back when I was a teenager and that wasn't my idea, it was my parents. And from what my dad remembered, it didn't really do me any good. I'll admit that my regular everyday eating can be questionable, but I'm always taking walks and bike rides. Plus part of my job involves taking in shopping carts from outside and bringing them inside or to the sides of the entrance, so that REALLY helps in ranking up my steps.
My diet is when I run off of anxiety
Reducing ultra processed foods to just a treat in my diet has been the biggest thing for me. I didn't realise how unsatisfied I felt until I started eating home cooked meals again.
It's never too late to learn how to cook, and to become educated in portion control and nutrition!
I’m laughing that Beyoncé claims that she lost 20lbs at all. I mean she is skinny and the only way she could have 20 pounds to lose is moments before giving birth to her twins.
Oh wow, i couldn't even believe half of these diets existed, thanks for talking about them! I DO have tried to follow a keto diet but maybe I should look a bit into the modified Atkins diet, if only at least out of curiosity. Here in Mexico we used the food pyramid, but switched to the Healthy Eating Plate because there were people who would think the foods at the top had to be eaten the most, I guess this is similar to the food circle.
omg i made a cameo in a phantomstrider video
anyway, to clear up my issue wuth the carnivore diet isbt just because it promotes only eating meat but because of influencers (mainly on tiktok) also ptomoting the consumption of pure grease, many also make outlandish claims like with the carnivore diet you wont need to shower anymore. it's just frustrating to see this diet be matketed to impressionable people
To be fair, if I *could* lose weight eating nothing but cookies, I totally would.
I remember being on a keto diet, but in terms of my epilepsy it wasn’t really that effective.
PokemonTrainerRyan used Keto
It wasn't very effective
Sorry to hear that it didn't help much with seizures 😞 The study that I saw did find it varied from person to person, and I'm sorry it didn't work for you personally. Hopefully there's other medications or treatments that have assisted you since. At least a little 🙂
@@phantomstrider well these days I’m medicated and for a while now, so I should be fine
There are zero diets that cure brain issues.
@@PokemonTrainerRyan67 Did you ever try CBD?
We did the KETO diet a few years ago, and it works well for losing weight. And it allows a lot of very tasty food, as long as it's carb free. However, it was never intended as a long term lifestyle, as it raises your cholesterol levels. You get on it, lose your weight, and then get off, but then maintain your weight with a healthy combination of proper diet and exercise. The big problem is, so many get on this diet, lose their weight, but never maintain it.
I think diets are only dangerous if you don't consult a licensed dietician
Yay so glad you uploaded again ❤
Got a Chips Ahoy ad at the start
I love the hoodohoodlum collabs, his voice is so nostalgic from me. his videos were part of my first introduction to creepypasta, it’s just so odd to me for some reason cuz the content you both make separately doesn’t feel similar at all.
I'd call the carnivore diet more of the exact opposite of the vegan diet. But even a vegan diet has more variety then that
And at least a vegan diet is healthy. Eating red meat the rest of your life is going to lead to heart issues.
@cherry_mania yeah in moderation it's okay. But even non vegans should avoid having too much red meat.
@@samariathemaniac anything in moderation is okay. Completely cutting out a thing usually isn’t good unless you have conditions that require that exclusion.
@@mbdg6810 I agree. For example, if you’re allergic to gluten, then cut out gluten. But if you’re not allergic to gluten, eat the gluten.
Apologies for my rambling ahead of time.
I actually ran into someone on the carnivore diet in the wild and the whole experience was like talking to a militant vegan. Worst part was having to call them out for heavily implying that the carnivore diet cures autism. I set them off twice for mentioning my love of mac and peas(mac and cheese with peas). I shared a discord server with this person and they'd talk about there being studies on it being good for you without showing the studies.
I love meat a lot, but man, I don't think I could go a week without any vegetables.
The food pyramid being literal poison:
About 15 years ago I tried the HCG diet. I got a small bottle of the HCG hormone, had to put five drops under my tongue four times a day, could not eat or drink anything for 15 min afterwards. The diet limits you to 500 calories a day.
I was on it for months and yeah, I lost a lot of weight, but man I got so sick! My insomnia spun outa control, I couldn’t think straight most of the time, and my memory was awful.
The only good thing that came out of that diet for me was that I lost my taste for lost sweet things. I don’t like most deserts anymore, I don’t drink soda anymore, and I cannot have my coffee or tea with sugar in it anymore.
ooh
Oof
The No Sugar diet could easily be changed to the No Added Sugar diet and it would be just fine. By doing the No Sugar Diet you're actually cutting out important stuff from your system, but by doing the No Added Sugar diet it might take you a bit to adjust to the change, but it can actually help you lose weight and be healthy at the same time.
You point a lot to the food pyramid, I don't know the history of the Australian food pyramid, but what I do know is the American food pyramid isn't based on total science, and a lot of it is due to corporate lobbying
You're welcome to make strong claims like this. But would you have some reputable sources to back your claims that the food pyramid is due to corporate lobbying and is not nutritionally accurate?
@@phantomstrider it definitely isnt really a primary source, but the TV show Adam ruins everything did do a segment on the food pyramid's history, as did the TH-cam channel the food theorists.
Iirc, after the rationing during the second world war, they needed a way to get weights back, so the government recommended eating more. After everything went back to normal, the gov wanted to recommend eating less, but because that would cut into food profits, companies lobbied to recommend choosing different options instead of eating less.
I haven't looked at the sources myself but I know they list their sources
@@littlemacisunderrated412 To be fair the food pyramid I showed you was modified based on modern day recommendations from Australia and Ireland rather than America (thus fruit and vegetables are at the bottom and not grains). Not based on the World War 2 recommendations. So you'll find grains are not as high priority as fruit and vegetables. Which I still think is a good guideline compared to the average American diet. (Sources: www.safefood.net/healthy-eating/guidelines/food-pyramid nutritionaustralia.org/fact-sheets/healthy-eating-pyramid/ ) And I'm sorry but I just don't find TH-cam channels like food theory as trustworthy sources as Ireland and Australia nutritionists.
@@phantomstrider that's a completely understandable viewpoint. It hasn't occurred to me that it was a modified version.
And I guess I do trust Australia to actually give accurate information.
@@littlemacisunderrated412 It was a perfectly fair question and I always appreciate seeing people question their sources 🙂I think the biggest regret I have for this video is not making it clearer that I was using an updated food pyramid + the food circle, as you weren't the first person to point out that there's contention over the old food pyramid. Still, I look back and think overall it was a relatively informed, educated message to viewers even if I wasn't clear enough on some stuff. Thanks for the chat on this macisunderrated 👍
6:20-7:30 Too many of these zero sugar diets get it wrong. It's not about removing sugar, it's about removing refined and processed sugar (among other such ingredients). The human body is certainly resilient and adaptable, but we (myself included, big time) shove WAY too much processed crap down our traps on a daily basis. As with anything else, including even water, we have to use moderation. Some things, however, deserve much greater moderation than others. You'd have to drink quite a bit of water to cause yourself harm, but it takes surprisingly little sugar (relatively speaking) to start causing problems.
I'm glad too see you're one who actually understands this. Glad to know you do your homework.
Do what I do….
Eat dino nuggies
I eat nuggies but they’re not Dino-shaped.
It's very hard to create a generic balanced diet. There are so many different unique dietary needs for people. A diet that helps you thrive might kill the guy next to you. Add on top of it big agribusiness, fast food, and food processors, it gets harder and harder to find a healthful diet. Only things I can say with any confidence is drink plenty of clean water, don't stuff yourself full, cut down on processed sugars, and stay away from anything that's heavily processed. Sad thing is, for too many people, that list I just made is difficult to impossible because they live in food deserts.
Hey Josh! It’s me Lox again! I have a different question this time! How was it like making this video? I just love your content! And I want to show my support by commenting as much as I can! So getting your feedback is always appreciated! Have a good time!
- Lox
i LOVE your voice! its so relaxing goddamn
0:10 I wish that the Dutchman was a vegetarian!
The cotton ball "diet" made me think of an episode of Alf where Alf got addicted to eating cotton balls!
Same lol
Ayds appetite-suppressant chocolate from the 70-80s is another honorable mention
The phonetics and timing are ultimately what made it fail
Mmmmm, sifullus chocolate...
finally a video that calls out these. my old school had strict gluten free guidelines and the food not only tasted terrible, it also had MORE calories than the stuff with gluten!
