    Am from the Netherlands and been living in England for a long time, have always been surprised about people in England not taking their homemade lunch or dinner to work. Not only can it be more healthy but you also save a lot of money which for a dutchie is the biggest reason😊

    In Turkey right now and they offer salad and cheese for breakfast, with olives, sauerkraut. No fruit juice anywhere only whole fruit and yougurt. And eggs on offer, and turkish coffee. My gut has never been so good !

    • @QuantumOverlord

      Turkish coffee isn't a good idea though, it skyrockets LDL due to a high diterpene concentration. For this reason I'd recommend always pre filtering or drinking instant coffee.

    I worked in the NHS for 20 years, and brought my food in every day. But what about patients!! The staff can make the effort to bring their food, but if you're a patient you rely on what you're given. White bread and plastic cheese sandwiches, plastic ham and a bit of limp lettuce and tomato. How can you heal from cancer and stroke on this!!!!!

      I too am working in the NHS now for 13yrs. Even as an F1 on a Geriatric Ward seeing what the patients were being served. And now in the ED a decade later, the food being served has severely deteriorated in quality. A valid point! 😅

    Tim thank you for your honesty. It’s really good to hear how your thoughts and ideas and own diet has changed over the years as you have researched and taken on board the science. I like the fact that this is an ongoing process - you tell us what is best now but you revise this as the science progresses.

    I joined Zoe, my exact problem is the Zoe system just went on sugar and carb levels - possibly driven by Tim as he is hyper-sensitive. My testing showed my blood sugar response was great - but still, things like beetroot were shown as bad - even when eaten after fats, protein and not for breakfast.

    We constructed an Ikea cupboard specifically to house all the canned and dried foods we eat alongside fresh and frozen veggies as the core of our diet 😁 If you've got beans, grains, nuts and herbs/spices in the larder, you can rustle up tasty, nutritious meals with a just bit of time and imagination 😊

    I'm too tight to buy lunch from work! Like to know what Im eating too!! Changing what we eat is mostly do-able. Surely most can find one hr in the week to make a big pan of home made chilli / spaghetti bol / etc...devide into little containers and freeze it. Take it out the night b4 work. Boil some eggs start your day with egg and avocado...easy easy!! Fresh fruit ( berries)...full fat high protein yogurt...propper nuts full of healthy fats...keeps you full for hours !!!

    Dr Tim also raised another VERY INTERESTING POINT: that certain bacteria producing BAD compounds, may also be responsible for good and beneficial chemicals!
    Perhaps then, BEST OVERALL RESULT, would be by carefully consuming these animal foods responsible for such outcomes - in the right amounts and at the right time!

    Meat - a confusing argument in my mind. We have evolved eating high-quality meat - mainly red. Our bodies love it. The problem is when low-quality meat is eaten with low-quality refined carbohydrates. And meat gets a bad label - but you cannot ignore the number of people who have cured themselves of various diseases and autoimmune conditions through the consumption of red meat. Quite simply, I don't think science has understood it yet. Furthermore - it feels like all the work Tim is doing with Zoe and getting the word out has now taken a nose dive and is just another vegetarian waving broccoli at you - stick to the message about whole foods and the processed rubbish is bad for you. Get people to eat grass-fed beef. And if you are confused about why grass-fed beef is so good for you, here is a list of nutrients - and yes - it can lower cholesterol if you manage your carb intake.
    Macronutrients
    Protein: Approximately 25-30 grams per 100g of minced beef.
    Fats: Varies depending on the fat content of the mince. Typically around 10-20 grams of fat per 100g for 80% lean minced beef. This includes:
    Saturated fats: Around 4-8 grams per 100g.
    Monounsaturated fats: Around 3-8 grams per 100g.
    Polyunsaturated fats: Small amounts (less than 1 gram per 100g).
    Omega-3 fatty acids: Higher in grass-fed beef compared to grain-fed.
    Omega-6 fatty acids: Present but generally lower in grass-fed beef.
    Vitamins
    Vitamin B12: Crucial for nerve function and blood formation.
    Vitamin B6: Important for protein metabolism.
    Niacin (Vitamin B3): Supports energy metabolism.
    Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
    Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): Essential for fatty acid metabolism.
    Folate (Vitamin B9): Present in small amounts, supporting DNA production.
    Vitamin E: Antioxidant, more abundant in grass-fed beef due to higher antioxidant content in the animals' diets.
    Minerals
    Iron: Particularly heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body.
    Zinc: Important for immune function and protein synthesis.
    Selenium: Supports antioxidant defense and thyroid function.
    Phosphorus: Aids in bone and teeth formation.
    Magnesium: Present in smaller amounts, supports muscle and nerve function.
    Potassium: Helps regulate fluid balance and muscle contractions.
    Compounds and Other Nutrients
    Creatine: Naturally occurring in beef, supports muscle energy.
    Carnosine: Acts as an antioxidant and has anti-aging properties.
    CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid): A type of fat more abundant in grass-fed beef, linked to health benefits like reduced body fat and improved immune function.
    Glutathione: A potent antioxidant found in small amounts in grass-fed beef.
    Coenzyme Q10: Supports energy production and heart health.
    Amino Acids
    Grass-fed minced beef contains all essential amino acids, including:
    Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine (branched-chain amino acids for muscle protein synthesis)
    Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, Tryptophan (essential for various bodily functions)
    This nutrient profile is generally more favorable in grass-fed beef compared to grain-fed, especially with higher omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, and antioxidant content.

    Wait an hour to an hour and half after wake up to drink coffee. Allows for build up of adenosine. Otherwise caffeine will attach to the adenosine receptors first giving you all that initial energy. BUT, Once the caffeine wears off the adenosine attaches to the receptors as they should and THAT is when you experience a slump.

    Wow …am surprised Tim EVER , EVER thought his old diet was remotely satisfactory for himself or for his kids . Tropicana, instant porridge , cereals, hospital cafe food ..WTHF !!! I assumed he always understood core nutritional values and his current practice evolved from such knowledg. I can now understand why his dad had heart attack at young age .
    My concern is my mother ,way , way back in the 50’s & early 60’s was right on top of importance of core nutrition ( whole foods, Vit A, B, C & D ) & we NEVER had fruit juices or cereals as kids . We were jealous of kids who were allowed sweets and fizzy drinks , but are now grateful for her strictness .
    She sadly got sucked into the low fat craze from 70’s -80’s onwards . As a result of being born in 50’s we siblings all got a very healthy start in life and now have great teeth, bones, eye health , & are all medication free in our 70’s , but -r now still unravelling from the cumulative damage of the low fat, highly processed food industry which has pervaded since then . We r all omnivores rather than mostly vegetarian /flexivore , like Spector . I just assumed he was always more cognisant of imp of whole food nutrition … must admit he’s looking a bit ropey /unhealthy in todays interview & now wonder how relevant his knowledge actually is

      @ … salt (sodium chloride) is essential for various physiological and biochemical processes in the body. Nevertheless too little (which is uncommon since salt is commonly naturally found in many foods since, usually of biological origin, they too have needed salt to live and grow) or too much can cause problems with such processes and the body’s systems to maintain homeostasis (an environment which allows for the proper functioning of the miriad of physiological and biochemical processes in our bodies). Unfortunately salt is added in significant quantities to many of the foods people eat, so much so that people’s taste buds become less sensitive to salt and so people add even more before eating. There is now ample evidence of the potential risks of eating too much sodium chloride chronically, being linked to hypertension and kidney disease for example.
