I'm a Christian and an RN. I've milled my own wheat berries for bread, and I've tried every way of eating known to man. I know how food affects my body. When one eats too many carbohydrates/sugar, (whole grain or not) eventually it will catch up with them. It usually starts with weight gain, then insulin resistance, which puts one at great risk for diabetes. Often with weight gain, hypertension occurs, which leads to a whole host of problems. Carbs/sugar is what causes plaque in the arteries and not cholesterol. Cholesterol has been demonized, because it's a billion dollar industry. Our body actually makes cholesterol, because it's needed. Also, in biblical days, they didn't eat the way we do, and they didn't travel like we do. Think no electricity, running water, or automobiles. They worked hard all day, and probably only ate 1 or 2 times a day. We can't eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between for long without it wreaking havoc on our bodies. I know of an 80 year old woman who has been carnivore for 60 years. She's still working a ranch and climbing trees. My stance is when people start having weight or health issues, they need to look very closely at what they eat. The medical industry will not tell you that, but they will gladly offer you a pill for all your ailments. $$$$. Sorry so long, but I'm passionate about this.
It's so good to see medical professionals who know their stuff on this topic and are willing to share it! Thank you for speaking up! I agree with you 100% I'm healing my insulin resistance with the carnivore diet and feeling 15 years younger.
Absolutely agree with you that what we eat affects our health! And no, most medical professionals never address this. I do believe SO MANY of our health issues in the USA are due to lifestyle choices. We would be a much healthier country if better lifestyle choices were made.
But like you said - it all comes down to money! Big Pharma can’t patent REAL food so no profit for them. Doctors and hospitals won’t make money if people aren’t sick.
@sherry I disagree with you that cholesterol does not cause artery clogging. Animal fats have been proven to contribute to the clogging of arteries. The Mediterranean diet has been proven to be the healthiest diet and good doctors recommend it particularly for heart patients. Diabetics are going down the wrong path of eating keto and carnivore because legumes are also very healthy for diabetics and whole grains are also good for diabetics because they take longer to digest. The whole issue with poor health is over consumption of foods and eating over processed foods and foods with a lot of preservatives and chemicals. So going back to the basics of whole foods is a starting point that all people will benefit from. Felicia is 100% correct and saying that eliminating an entire food group, the original food group put on this Earth for consumption, is a very bad idea.
@@toconnor6811 Thank you for stating the truth. I agree with you and the longterm research. We can feel great on a certain diet and not be aware of what is slowly taking place in our bodies.
Our own bodies make the cholesterol we need. Animal sources introduce _additional cholesterol._ A component within LDL cholesterol (ApoB) is definitively associated with heart disease. This is not really debatable. Of course this doesn't mean eating meat is 'bad' or not 'ok'. God gave us certain animals for food and it's certainly allowed. Is it the best food for our health? I think He made it pretty clear which foods are the _best_ in the order He gave them and the life spans associated with them. Any food that God has provided is to be received with thanksgiving. Thank you again for stating the truth.
@@boltingpuppies Thank you! and Thank you for adding clarity and more truth. :-)
Im a 59 yr old Grammy, recovering from doctors & nutritionist that nearly took my life. I also am a follower of JESUS. The carnivore diet is indeed saving it. I Thank GOD for it. Thats far from heretical if you ask me. You may want more information about "todays" foods that are literally harming some people before you throw us out with the bath water. Ive done hours of research myself, and im finally healing. I sure thank GOD, im getting my life back. And i sure Thank GOD for all the proper food's doing just that. Maybe do some recipes on your channel, but no need to shame others that aren't like you. GOD be with us all 🕊
Sounds like you just started eating real food and cut out all the fake food and junk. Just eat foods God created as food as close to the way He created it as possible.
Doctors did the same w/ me. I barely survived their over reaction to die-off from a rare tick disease, and suffered for 4 yrs W/ alot of stomach pain, joint pain and weakness. I came across the carnivore diet that is helping reset. I can sleep on my side again and have much less pain in 6wks of the carnivore diet. My hope and trust is in God. He showed me this diet so soon I'll be able to enjoy my garden and bread w/o pain. The diet can help, not all believe as was spoke.
I’m on a low carb diet and eat plenty of vegetables and berries. I’m 63 and am on zero medications.
That's great Gigi. You'd probably be on zero medications even if you were eating whole grains.
I am 68 years old woman, strict carnivore for 6 years, zero medicine and diet supplements. I was very sick before, and my body was very malnourished when I was eating „healthy” food and swallowing many diet supplements. Read the Old Testament, and find the answer what people supposed to eat.
@@e.l.9397Why do you watch a channel about grains if you only eat meat?
In all fairness, many people who have started keto or carnivore come from backgrounds with physical issues. I have done both keto and carnivore, and felt my health increase substantially. I began milling my own grains to make my own bread for my family and have had nothing but dietary trouble. This is heartbreaking for me because I have been wanting to eat biblically so badly but my body seems to reject it. I am sure to purchase all organic grains from Azure, my family has done well on it, but I am another story.
Please do not be discouraged! God did provide us all of these natural foods - but you are not defying His word if you don't partake of every single food he has provided. I have life threatening nut allergies - I am not in defiance of God's plan by not eating nuts! The gluten issue is being oversimplified because of 2 things: 1) there is not just ONE type of gluten and 2) MAN has forceably crossbred some certain grains in order to breed a wheat grain that meets all the needs of big agriculture - by so doing MAN has messed with what God has provided and created something that is not natural. The gluten issue is not just about eating white flour with no bran and germ - the gluten in modern wheat is completely genetically different from wheat that was just left to nature. My reaction to gluten is not because of white flour - I can't eat whole grain modern wheat either without becoming quite ill! MAN messed with the grain by forced cross hybridizing (todays wheat gluten is D Genome gene, is a very strong gluten, and is a very complex gluten). Einkorn wheat was never touched by man and is completely as it was provided naturally by God... Einkorn wheat gluten is an A Genome gene, is a very simple gluten, and is a very weak gluten. Many of us that cannot eat the modern wheat grain MAN has messed with, are fortunate enough to be able to eat Einkorn wheat as the last fully natural whole wheat grain still genetically existing in the same structure in which God provided it. I wish you all the best!
I also struggle with grains. I've done Paleo keto and honestly felt my best when I followed an AIP protocol for about a year and a half. I occasionally eat grains, but I definitely notice extreme fatigue when I do as well as brain fog. And I mail my own grains as well using good quality
I was listening to a audio UA-cam video by Bread Beckers and learned that many people do have a reaction from freshly milled grains that can last months. It's because their body can't adjust to it that quickly and more often than not, their body is in the process of releasing toxins. It can be gut pain, brain fog, rash, you name it. In these cases you would have to begin in total moderation. In my honest opinion, the recipes have way too much honey in it and it's still a sugar. No one needs all that sugar in their breads. Just make Italian breads and baguettes with the fresh milled grain and eat in moderation with lots of butter on it. No one needs bread for every meal. The early Isrealites ate only twice a day. 1st meal was light and moderate. The 2nd and last was more substantial and eaten around 4 in the afternoon. No meals after that.
@@renmuffett I am so happy that you mentioned brain fog. For the last month or so I feel like I can’t even form a complete thought half of the time which is not usual for me. This could give me a bit of an explanation as to why it’s happening. The brain fog often comes with the inflammation and gut pain. I agree about the sugar as well…I will try to make more Italian breads. Thank you!
@@jenniferlee1066You are welcome. I was blown away with the amount of honey in all the recipes I've seen. That much cannot be good. A tablespoon on honey has twice as many calories as a tablespoon of white sugar. Although is lower in glycemic index which is good. But twice as sweet tasting. It's ridiculous to add so much. I tried many of the recipes suggested with fresh milled flour and it's all over sweet. The early Isrealites in the Bible didn't load a bunch of honey in their bread dough. I doubt they used more than a few drops if they even had it on hand every single day. Plus, those people only had 2 meals a day. The 1st was a light breakfast around 9 am. The last meal was usually no later than 4 in the afternoon. Meat in moderation, usually for special events. Another UA-camr has a book about it and talked about it. I hope you feel better soon. I fasted eliminating all carbs for over a year because of a severe gout attack and other issues. But that was so painful. I learned that meat doesn't cause gout. It's from too much high fructose that comes from all sugars.
My life was 100% into a low carb/high fat "diet" (ugh, that word!). Yes, I lost almost 50#. Yes, I was thinner. Yes, my husband joined & was the same. BUT...the enormous amounts of powedered foods were insane. Many meals we didn’t eat food we drank a powdered meal. Protein came from a powder bought from the "diet" creators. It grew in popularity & continues to push their products that are created to aid in eating right. We walked away from it by listening to God. He got us out of it. We now eat real food. Nothing powdered, nothing created in a lab, just real food. Thank the Lord for His Word that guides us & leads us to truth. ❤ Also, thank you for sharing on grains & bread.
I think this is another great perspective. I have seen many dietary products that sound good - except that God didn't give us diet powdered foods to eat. He just gave us food. I'm a big fan of keeping things simple! Especially since those food are quite expensive. Eating real whole foods can be so much cheaper.
You are also not a biblical scholar.
@@thetravelersbench How do you know how much she studies God's word? Scholar means student. Most seminaries & theologians don't have the correct understanding of God's word.
People in ancient times probably did well on grains for the following reasons: they rarely ate much sugar, they had no processed seed oils, they did not snack, and their grains were fermented- allowing them to better extract and absorb nutrients. Today's population is doing well on keto and carnivore because it removes sugar and processed seed oils. Basically modern people do better when they stop ingesting poison. No bread or pasta for me thank you!
Ok so you did better without highly processed sugar. Agreed. That doesn’t mean bread is bad. True whole grains are good.
Bread turns to sugar. When you eat a grain, it is quickly converted in the body to a sugar. Yes, even the organic, whole grain kind! When you eat your slice of 100% whole wheat bread you receive approximately 2 grams of fiber, but you consume 20 grams of carbohydrates (starch and sugar) and 100 calories.
Our body needs glucose to SURVIVE. Just becoming something turns into a sugar does not automatically make it bad. How about we ask WHY something turns into sugar and examine the food.
And to say that I only get 2 grams of fiber from a slice of whole wheat bread tells me you have only read labels from bread from the store which is fake bread. REAL bread has no label and has far more fiber. @@texaspreppermom
Let’s also remember that in Bible times, they walked everywhere they went. That’s why they did not gain weight from eating a lot of bread. Our society is mostly sedentary. When you don’t burn the carbs, they turn into sugar.
So the ideal human lifestyle is a balanced whole foods diet (which includes whole grains) and plenty of exercise and sunshine and fresh air. That’s how the Creator designed us.
So if you’re not getting enough exercise, that’s the problem, not the carbs.
Something that is heretical is something that is against Yahweh's commandments, such as eating unclean animals. We weren't commanded that we must eat bread, it's something we are allowed to eat and is good for food. I think it is important to note that choosing to not eat bread isn't heretical in and of itself.
On a different note I think the Keto diet does give some benefits that fasting gives, and I think we've potentially been overeating carbs and sugars to a point that it's bad for us. If we are one of those people, it may be a good option, if not then it may not be.
We are also supposed to be fasting, which almost no one talks about in church.
Agree with you. Yet, a lot of people are blind to the abstract way the Bible does mention a lot of these different types of diets. The different diets are actually an adaptation to seasonal and regional eating that have evolved over the centuries, what foods not to mix together or consume and when to deliberately choose a diet for medical treatment that should be temporary.
I wholeheartedly agree. There is nothing heretical about food in and of itself with the possible exception of eating something that would cause another to stumble. Paul talks about this in reference to foods sacrificed to idols, but in this age perhaps marijuana edibles or pushing alcoholic beverages o a recovering alcoholic might be the equivalent.
@@user-pn3ly6sl1e It may be important to note that drugs are not food.
In fact G5331 in Strongs (pharmakeia)
Magic, Sorcery, enchantment, the use of medicine, drugs or spells.
This greek word was used in verses below:
Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceriesG5331 were all nations deceived.
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft,G5331 hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
It's also important to note that unclean animals are not considered as food.
We do have the Lord’s Supper to observe as Christians, but if someone has a bad reaction to gluten, the heart in observing is more important than the symbol used. 👍
Yes to not eating unclean meats.
Thank you for addressing weight. I have been eating God's Way for over a dozen years and struggle to get to a "normal" weight. However, I, at almost 60, do not have hypertension or diabetes, which is very rampant in my family. Yes, I would love to be thinner, but I battle hypothyroidism and just accept this cross and realize that carrying an extra 15 pounds is much better than having one of these diseases.
As much as I appreciate your oppinion, there are a few things I wish you would have pointed out.
1. Are you aware that biblical fruits and veggies no longer exist in todays world? It's impossible to eat a biblical diet in the modern world.
2. Are you aware that the ketogenic diet was invented to heal sick children and it does it very well?
3. Are you aware that MANY doctors recommend various versions of the ketogenic / carnivore diet? Yes some people add commercial "keto" items that are not good for them. Yes there are people who abuse this simple REAL single ingredient way of eating.
4. Are you aware that the Lion Diet is a temporary elimination diet used to discover what foods a person is allergic to? It works.
5. Are you aware that farmers are now spraying poisons on the grains when they are ready to harvest?
6. Are you aware that MANY people have cured diseases using keto and carnivore diets? (I pray that this video does not keep others from being cured in the future.)
7. Do you expect us to take the advice of some random woman online over the doctors who are advising us to use these medical diets for improved health?
Following a normal American food pyramid is what is causing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, and a multitude of "western diseases" that do not exist in the rest of the world?
Are you aware that I address all of these issues and more on my channel over multiple videos? I can't put all information in one video.
If organic wheat is sprayed before harvest, it is disqualified from selling as organic.
The Bible has leeks, melons, pomegranates, olives, figs, dates, grapes, raisins, gourds, cucumbers and onions.
The Lions Diet is pretty much necessary because we here in the USA have done so many things to our food supply that we have more allergies and other issues than any other country or any other time.
I think Felicia is trying to address that issue by pointing to the instruction book for life. If we follow a Biblical diet we are less likely to have dietary issues and disease. The food pyramid is not in the bible either, and you will not find suggestions that we should spray food with harmful chemicals or any of the other shananigans.
@@GrainsandGrityou’re calling the diets heretical so….
You nailed this video, Felicia! Thank you so much! ❤ Your are the very first person that I heard talk about whole grain and fresh milled flour and the nutrients in it. And it was the biblical basis as well as scientific basis that you explained that caught my attention. You sent me to Sue Becker’s channel to learn from her. You have been a blessing, sweet girl. I’ve been using a coffee grinder to mill my wheat until my back ordered Mockmill arrives later this month. Can hardly wait to get it. And I have tried almost every one of these diets you talked about today. No wonder they didn’t work. Again, thank you for the information and Bible verses. God bless you and your family. And another point…you look beautiful and not overweight. I’m overweight and trying my best to lose. But my BP and cholesterol has improved since my fresh milling began. Grateful to God for showing me your channel. Keep up the great work! Praying for you . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So happy this channel has been helpful and encouraging! And praise the Lord for your improved BP and cholesterol!
Jesus is not literally bread.
You can say you don't prefer these diets, but to say they are sinful is just not true.
I didn’t say they are sinful, I said they are heretical which simply means there are aspects to them that are just not Biblical. Christians need to be aware of these facts so they can choose wisely. That’s it.
I am a Christian woman, 47. Im so tired of diets, even in the Christian world many say the Lord told them this is the best way or that is the best way or we have to do this and that and not this or that!! Oh the frustration that comes with this! As Christian women i pray we can come to a place and really encourage one another to seek our Father's guidance on what is best for each of us. I love the biblical food base and how God gives in the old testament His Word of giving the Israelites grains, milk, fruit, plants and meat. How can we encourage and teach one another more in this time to get back to having a personal relationship with Holy Spirit, learning to follow Him and His Word and lifting sisters up in prayer and helping one another be healthy and whole! I love this video., it is refreshing and a blessing. I think alot of us have been so brainwashed by this society, its time to get back to His Word , we can't live like the world . Lets show the world the truth and be a light and show them wholeness thru JESUS!
Amen!! Especially as Christians we should be able to come together and break bread together. Not be so divided. We need to give thanks for the food we eat with our fellow believers!
I’m firmly convinced that the reason these people like Jordan Peterson, etc. go for the carnivore diet is because our grains are so polluted with chemicals that they are desperate. Let’s get the word out there about the grain revolution and eating healthy and the truth about what they do to our grain supply.
I mention that in the video where I think many people come to these diets because they want to heal. They're sick. They don't feel right. Something is off. However, I think these diets in particular throw the baby out with the bath water when it comes to grains. We ALL agree white, refined flour is bad! But there is real bread out there we can eat that God created for our good!
@@GrainsandGritAs a person suffering from mold allergies, I recently discovered one of the molds I'm allergic to, which is naturally occurring on produce, is being used in bioengineering. In fact, they use it in high concentrations as a preservative to make food last longer in storage.
In fact, this particular mold can cause Farmer's lung.
When you're dealing with hay and grains, you can breathe in the spores and develop the illness.
I happen to have hyper-reactive pneumoniitis due to the many molds that I am allergic to.
I began peeling My produce washing, frozen fruit and vegetables and more. My hypothesis was that consuming the food that had high concentrations of mold was overloading my immune system. Thankfully I've gotten better.
Thank you for this video and perspective! I believe too many people have jumped to defense and not actually taken the core of what you're saying! I personally am much healthier after forgetting all the "diet culture" and simply eating things that are as whole and origional as possible. Keep up the great work... new subscriber here!
My first 2 loaves are almost ready to go in the oven. I made Blueberry muffins last night.
Im so grateful to have found women like Sue Becker and you, Felicia. You've been an answer to prayers and Im looking forward to Healing my body.
Thank you and God bless.
Prating God empowers you to stand strong in these difficult times!❤
Aw thank you very much. I'm so glad you've joined us here.
I could be wrong but when I took landscaping I was taught that the grains back during Jesus times were not hybrid grains and not as much gluten and carbs. Also we have a lot more pastries nowadays and consuming much more sugar and carbs.
It’s the flour that has been messed with and changed, not the wheat.
My doctor told me the only wheat he would recommend for a craving is Einkorn because it’s thousands of years old and unadulterated. I can’t recall if it’s because it has less gluten or easier to digest gluten. The modified wheat produced today causes inflammation, and makes many people feel depressed.
In Deuteronomy And Leviticus it is commanded not to sow your grains together in 1 field. So no, no hybrids.
Well, I was eating a “normal” diet and my A1C was 14.0, 260 lbs, my hands and feet numb, my lipids through the roof…and I was DYING.
I began intermittent fasting and cut OUT GRAINS. My A1C dropped to 5.6 I lost the weight, and my lipids in line.
I think I probably would rather answer to God how I don’t eat “bread” than answer for killing myself with something that is poison to me.
BTW, we do not know what “manna” actually was. If fact “manna” is translated “what is it”….
This is more like someone abusing scripture to justify their addiction to carbs. I’m done here.
Did you cut out REAL 100% whole grains? Or did you cut out fake white flour or really any kind to store bought bread? Because if that’s what you cut out, then of course you did better. That stuff is fake and bad for us. Not the true bread God created for our good.
A "normal" American diet is full of highly-processed foods and is high carb and high fat. I suspect you could have accomplished a great deal by removing those items and substituting healthier ones. So that doesn't really support NOT eating healthier grains and vegetables.
You can eat whatever works for you, as far as I'm concerned. However, I have run across several people who have gone carnivore and lost weight and claimed it was because they had cut out carbs. The real fact is that they cut out processed foods that were high in carbs / sugars.
At some point, a high protein diet may not work for you. If so, I suspect you can add in some less-processed foods and vegetables (maybe bought from a local farm) and still have health benefits. Just a thought...
@@GrainsandGrit100% whole wheat is higher on the glycemic index than other grains for people with diabetes or insulin resistance. However, they do use it in small amounts In some of the commercial products because of the fiber content.
It's really interesting to me how wheat (And many other grains) has changed and how pesticides have affected our microbiome.
Diabetics need to look not only at the carb but the fiber, as you must know. So if using fresh milled and not sifting then you could eat these homemade breads, crackers etc in moderation. As we all she be eating in moderation. But if your diet is working for you that is fantastic. If you have cravings they could be resolved with fresh milled cracker or slice of toast.
Just a clarification. Exodus 16:4 says "Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather..." Down in vs. 31 it says the house of Israel called it manna. The Lord said "bread from heaven".
Just subscribed and love this!! Speak the truth ma’am! Amen! Just met you yesterday from VRA Coffee with Cannell.
Awesome! Welcome aboard!
Many years ago I went on what I called a real diet, the rules for this diet was simple it had to grow in the ground or have a mother. I have since changed to not eating unclean foods but this helps me get healthier than any fad diet out there! No processed food or as little as possible. Once in a while I will eat something that is not healthy but that is very rare.
Many years ago I started questioning everything and decided that the only truth was found in the Bible. The other thing was the whole Bible was truth. When I started this my whole life changed. I am physically disabled and this diet helped my physical and mental and emotionally my whole life is now completely about YHWH.
Amen! I once heard someone say "if it was created in a lab, I don't eat it because it takes a lab to digest it!"
Amen! Same
Thanks for the video. I like the balanced approach. I have been on the Keto diet for 6 months and carnivore diet for 7 months and lost 88lbs. One of the reasons that most grains are bad for you are that most of them are GMO and are treated with dangerous pesticides that wouldn’t have been used in Biblical times. And it’s commonly known that many vegetables have anti nutrients.
Unfortunately most of the food we eat these days like bread are not same as bread from biblical times eg unleavened bread. I agree that Jesus is the bread of life but he is also the Lamb, and ruminant meat is great for you 😉, and at Exodus they ate lamb before leaving for the promised land.
I’m surprised you left out the vegan diet there is a bible verse for that too. 😂
There is no GMO wheat in the USA. You can buy organic grains that have no pesticides and it’s the flour that has been messed with, not the wheat.
@@GrainsandGrit same in Australia.
I am a registered nutritionist 30 years atkins/keto, marathon runner and do regular weight lifting. I lost 85 lbs on atkins 30 years ago and have never gone back. As fellow Christian, I must politely and professionally disagree with your findings.
We can agree to disagree :-) Thank you for being polite about it!
Atkins was the least healthy person, and he diet of a heart attack
Romans 14:1-23 ESV
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. ...
Yes! She is going against God’s Word by making these comments in this video. It sounds to me like someone just loves her bread.
Amen. People should stop passing judgment on us for not throwing out entire food groups.
@@GrainsandGrit Exactly. So how did vegetarian and vegan who throw out an entire food group (animal) miss your list of heretical diets?
Love this - thank you for addressing this!
Im actually in the process of eating lower carb/less sugar and i find nothing unbiblical about it. Im still getting all food groups just in proportion. I feel better doing so and it's been realistic for me. Instead of completely cutting out carbs which I would not recommend.
I agree with not cutting out carbs completely. Carbs in and of itself are not pure evil 😀
Have you tested any of these diets? Do you have reason to believe these eating plans are not helpful to some?
We're talking about the Bible here. I'm not a nutritionist or doctor. And furthermore, I'm not trying to sell supplements and diet books.
If you go back to 1 Timothy 3:15 it says ”but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.“ 1 Timothy 4:1-5 is talking about the twisting of scriptures to make them say what they wanted them to (🤔)that was going on and telling Timothy to be aware of it. It has nothing to do with our diets. Context is everything with God’s word!
Exactly.
1 Timothy 4:3 clearly is talking about food. It states that all foods should be received with thanksgiving. That’s the main definition of diet - what you eat. So yes, it does talk about diet. The Bible states that we should eat with thanks.
@@GrainsandGrit It does talk about food - specifically that the law has been fulfilled and that no foods that He has provided are any longer off limits to us, and when we partake of them we should receive them with thanks. The heresy is in teaching people that abstience from certain foods is necessary for holiness and a proper spiritual life. These diets abstain from certain types of foods for health choices - they would only be heretical if they implied that there was a biblical reason for abstaining and that abstaining is necessary for proper spiritual living - which none of them do.
@carolt392 perfectly said! Thank you!
❤ love and totally agree with this video
Thanks Felicia 😉
Oh good, there's one, haha.
A lot of people are not seeing the other bigger pictures about all these different types of diets that the bible suggests in an abstract way. All these different type diets are actually an adaptation of seasonal eating menus or for temporary usuage for medical healing.
Sugar, carbs and seeds are inflammatory to some and can cause pain. I do try to limit these in my diet as well as keep them as natural as possible. Less refined sugars and flours. More proteins. I feel much better when I’m not eating processed, refined foods.
I agree we should limit or eliminate highly refined sugars and definitely fake refined flour!!
Loved this video! Thank you.
Great video Felicia!
Thanks!
I am a new subscriber, and seeing the title, I had to see the comments. There are so many keto and carnivore believers. Why would one watch a channel based solely on grains if they are strongly opposed to eating them?
Haha, good question.
Bang on, Felicia! I’m with you 💯.
Oh good, there's one, haha.
I do read AND believe my Bible. Heretical? What you are stating is against the Word of God: Colossians 2:16 “Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.” You, yourself, are speaking heresy, by judging and coming against what Paul directly tells us. You should do what makes you happy, but please leave others alone and allow them to do the same. You are keeping Christ Believers under the law, and we are no longer under the law…we are under grace.
Amen
I am keeping no one under the law. I never said it was a sin. Only that these diets have some facets that are against what is stated in the Bible.
Your video title alone says it all. You are judging Christ Believers’ food choices, and incorrectly using the law to judge them and their personal food choices based upon your own opinions….and calling it heresy…you state that within your own title…What you are stating is not biblical for this age of grace…we are under grace, not under the law. As I stated in my initial commentary, Colossians 2:16 is crystal clear…we are now under grace (not the law of Moses) and we are to allow no one to judge us (using the law of Moses) in what we choose to consume to nourish our bodies.
Amen amen amen
Perfectly timed and stated. Thank you for sharing this biblical perspective.
You are so welcome!
Great video Felicia I appreciate you explaining in a biblical perspective .
I think the problem with grains is that they are not the same grains the Israelites ate. Ours are so GMO’d that very few grains are still good for us (Einkorn is one I’m aware of). I appreciate your message.
I think if you do some research you will learn the wheat is not GMO. The real problem is the shelf stable white and wheat flour found at the store. Blessings on your journey.
There is no GMO wheat approved in the USA (it has been approved in other countries and definitely something I am watching). I did another video about this. What we do need to watch out for are chemicals on our wheat and the soil crops are planted in being depleted of nutrients!
No GMO wheat in the U.S.
Modern wheat is hybridized and not an ancient grain. Spelt, Kamut, einkorn, emmer, millet, barley, oats, sorghum, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, and bulgur are ancient grains/seeds.
@@Sar_ahJ Exactly! There is certainly some natural hybridization that occurs in nature, but in the case of our modern wheats, big industry intentionally crossbred and hybridized certain wheat grains and goat grasses to weed out undesirable traits, and emphasize the traits that made a heartier crop with higher yields which then translated into big money. By so doing, these modern wheats have a genetic and gluten structure that is very complex and different from the untouched ancient grains. Todays wheat is a hexaploid wheat with a D Genome gluten type... Einkorn, for example, has never been forcefully hybridized by man and maintains a very simple structure, being a diploid wheat with an A genome gluten type. Modern wheat is nowhere close to being the same as something like Einkorn, which today is still exactly as God created it.
I did keto for 3 years. I was overweight, hypertensive and prediabetic. On all kinds of meds. On keto, I felt awesome, lost 30 lbs and got off all meds. My inflammation left and I had all kinds of energy. My Dr said that my labs looked like I ran marathons and she was amazed. I do not agree that following this way of eating is heretical. And what you’re talking about sounds like legalism. Jesus came to set us free from that. I have NEVER heard that nonsense about the “gatherer/hunter” and “evolution”, and I did a ton of research on it. You are taking scriptures out of context and would go so far as to say as you are teaching falsely. I love Jesus and have a very personal and intimate relationship with Him and have the gift of discernment. Not once while eating keto was I convicted about it. In fact, removing all of the sugar and unnecessary foods from my diet helped me to think clearer and helped my concentration. Thus it was helpful in my study of God’s Word. But I sure did have some alarms going off while watching this video! Please pray about what you have said. Our foods are NOT the same as they were in biblical times. I 100% believe there are foods we should be avoiding because of the way they are grown and produced. Not good for our temples!
Agreed… BTW, I left a similar response earlier and she deleted it.
Exactly. What about people with celiac that can't eat grains and seeds? And removing sugar helps to focus. Stuff like candida is not good for our guts, so where in the world is she getting this information?
I also agree with you. For me I am diabetic and went carnivore and it wasn’t good for me but my brother went from almost 300 pounds to 160. He turned around his diabetes completely. We just don’t move as much so don’t need as many carbs. All in all I think being balanced is important and paying attention to what you body is telling you.
Agreed! Sorry, but this woman is clearly overweight so I won't take her advice. Also, I'm on carnivore, lost 40 lbs. and was able to get off all meds. The issue now is how the food is produced compared to how it was decades or thousands of years ago. I read my Bible and walk with Jesus everyday so I'm not a horrible heathen. She should dig deeper into research and evidence and use critical thinking....while still sticking with her Bible. I disagree with you, but still love ya, lady!
Ha! She deleted my earlier comment too!
Thank you for this! I
This is the 3rd video I’ve come across in the past 48 hours that have addressed this similar matter. Yours was a great way to tie it all together. Apparently God is telling me that continuing on this new journey is exactly where I need to be! Yes lord, I hear you! 😊
Do you mind sharing the other videos that you watched that are similar? 😊
Amen!!!
I know of some Christian UA-camrs who are all about the carnivore diet. Tried it myself both with and without fruits and honey.
I felt great for a while, but started having hormone problems. Added whole grains, especially real whole wheat, and I feel my best ever and still losing weight!
For all of these fad diets, not one of them focuses on trying a food our true ancestors ate for thousands of years- freshly-milled whole grain wheat. That also happens to be a food you simply cannot find in most grocery stores! 🤔
And one thing I’ve noticed about the people doing these diets (even Christians) is that sadly, it’s like a cult, especially carnivore.
Yes! Amen! The cult-like mentality is very concerning to me too.
What a great testimony about whole grains!
@@GrainsandGrit Yes, keto and carnivore diets _can_ have a cult-like mindset. My friend and I (both Christians who follow a Levitical/biblical diet) did keto together for over a year (I think about 15 months). At that point (about 15 months in) I was starting to have real problems. I would lay down and get tingling in my arms and had a sense of impending doom. I didn't want to quit because I was afraid I would gain weight. I finally listened to my body and quit (around 2018?). My friend did not quit. She died almost a year ago on February 1, 2023. My heart is broken. She had given up fruit, many veggies and of course grain/bread. She drank bone broth everyday and everything else that goes with keto. She was not overweight and looked very healthy but developed two different kinds of cancer in her breast. She was a dear believer and follower of Christ, _a real one._ This lesson has left me heartbroken.
I believe God showed us what the very best foods were from the beginning and also showed us foods that are still allowed but may not be not as good as others. First He gave us fruits (anything with seed in itself where the plant doesn't die when harvested; like from a tree, vine or bush). Everything was perfect. Then we fell. We would be working hard and need stored energy. He gave us things like grains and root vegetables (plants that die when harvested and must be planted again with seed). We need these starches. Then the flood came. He provided food for us after coming off of the ark from the clean animals...and our lifespans began to shorten. All of these foods are good and allowed. Some are better than others but all are God-created and to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. God bless you sister!
A cult!? For changing my diet to save my life? Maybe you all should testify of THE GOODNESS of GOD, and leave the name calling & categorizing alone 🙏. Im not "some Christian," im a child of THE MOST HIGH GOD 🕊
the. grains you eat today are not the same that Biblical folks are . now, it's GMO, laden with chemicals, and omega 6 and 9 fatty acids. opps. 😮
@@trenawilkinson1103Eating a carnivore diet does not mean you are in a cult. The problem comes in when people on that diet INSIST there is only one way to eat. They become CRAZY about it and put down anyone who has a different opinion. This is evident when you watch nutritional videos and read the comments. Both the strict vegans and the strict carnivores become hate-filled about the other side. This is the cult-like side of dieting.
I don't agree with everything she says, and I suspect what we eat has very little to do with our spirituality. Of course, we need to eat healthy, but what diet that actually is is still being debated.
I started watching you to learn about real grains and bread. I've never baked. I eat a healthy diet always did. Most of my groceries came from the back walls of the store. "Real food"
I didn't see a doctor for 3 yrs. Then I got a rare tick disease. The doctors over reacted to the die off of the tick disease. I was airlifted and they almost killed me Literally. After, I suffered stomach pain that kept getting worse. On the floor many a days crying in pain and praying. I tried everything natural. only for it to get worse. To the point I had so much swelling, it pressed on the vaga nerve. Causing diaphram spasms and heart palpitations. I stumbled onto the carnivore diet. And no most do not do fruit or honey. Trying to get our body to use fat instead of carbs/sugar glucose. I do not believe veg, fruits and carbs are evil. But my body needed a rest. And in 6 wks, 60% of my pain is gone and little to no PVCs. I have so much energy again, folks are driving by my yard to see the garden I'm building, in just a few weeks. Please don't trash something you don't understand, that may in fact help someone. My bible is falling apart I read it so much. After 4 yrs of pain this diet is the only thing that has reduced the pain and inflammation. I have no plan on being on it for life. I'm growing my garden. But there is benefit to this diet. And I ate healthy before the tick disease. Sadly yes ate store bought bread. But that's why I was watching you. To change that.
See, this is a great example of medicine. Medicine has often been considered "poison" but necessary. Why? Because of an extreme problem that the body needed help with. So you went on an extreme diet to combat an extreme medical emergency. And it worked! I'm so glad it did. That's my point exactly: these extreme medical measures should only be used in rare and extreme cases, not as a lifestyle.
You need to try one of these diets
I grind my own grain and use the recipe you gave for every day bread. So I’m very familiar with its benefits. That being said as a carb it does spike my insulin, it does take me out of fat burning “ketosis” and puts me back into running on insulin. When your body uses insulin as fuel it creates inflammation in your body When your body uses Ketones it does not create inflammation.
My body has become adapted to switching back and forth but the reality is it triggers cravings and instant hot flashes. I still make it and appreciate your recipes but moderation is needed
I do not believe God created your body to react negatively to the foods He created for you. That makes no sense.
I don't usually comment.. But Amen... glad to hear you address this😊
Thank you!
After watching the video, I understand completely what you’re saying. It’s not that i 17:06 would judge one for just eating a keto diet. It’s the fact that we got certain people on UA-cam, calling themselves doctors throwing away a whole food group as you had mentioned! One in particular, who is very popular he’s not a believer, and just pushes a lot of supplements.
I am simply judging the fact that, like you had pointed out, they’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater saying all grains are evil and that’s just not true as we know. I don’t care what diet somebody has.
But I would say for people to pick the diet that works for them.
I was carnivore for 137 days.
True carnivore diet does not allow for fruit and honey.
I think it was amazing for me in the short term! I lost a ton of weight and I had energy, and I ate WAY MORE and still lost weight…
But I came off carnivore on Christmas as I was getting more migraines :(
I am currently DE - brainwashing myself as I did buy into the dogma that plants are trying to kill us…
And I’m trying to really learn how grains are food for us.
I’ve been baking sourdough and eating bread for 2 weeks now!
But let’s remember the fruit and veggies we have now a days is NOT the same God gave us. We have hybridized and modified our fruits and veg
Also, paleo is NOT a low carb diet. You can have as many carbs as you want you just need whole real foods- but yes no grains.
I love paleo, I’m currently “paleoish + sourdough” 🤣🤣
You should just eat what makes you feel good. Don’t buy into anyone else’s philosophy. The Bible says you can eat anything abstaining from something is not a sin. ❤️🙏
When you say the fruit and veggies we have are not the same as what GO gave us, why does that matter? God commanded us to have dominion of His creation, and that mandate includes selective breeding (hybridizing). It's been going on since the very beginning. It even happens in the wild.
Since I found your channel and some others I have a whole new perspective on diets. Our overly chemical laden world is what makes people sick not the particular foods they eat. Anything pure and whole from God is our food. What we fight now is the nutrients that have been stripped out of grains and plants even the soil and air. It makes me sad that I have to take supplements to help my body get enough. We make almost cv all of our bread from the grains we grind now thanks to you. Well my husband died cause he likes to cook. Some of those medically induced diet trends I am convinced did my body harm over the years.
What similar channels have you found? Others might be interested in tuning in to them! 😊
Biblical Nutritionist, we bought the Beaker book, Homesteading Family, biblical Prescriptions, the Patriot Nurse are just the ones I subscribe to, some pop up in my feed that I don't follow all the time@@susanmccord8634
Thanks, @NatureScapesStudio!
Amen, God made all foods for our good - so long as we don't become imbalanced or contaminate them.
The Mediterranean diet is number one in 2024.
I did a little digging and realized that Mediterranean people are being influenced by Western diet and the diet that they eat currently is not the one that is recommended, but rather the historical diet.
Cardiology clinical trials suggests:
THE LYON ( not lion diet) DIET is a stellar way of eating that had been well studied and documented. This study is something worth looking into.
Fun fact: countries with mandatory flour fortification have higher obesity rates. North and South America, Saudi Arabia, Great Britain. Places like France, Germany and Japan don’t have mandatory fortification.
Excellent excellent excellent video on a most needed topic!! Hands down I wish I could share this. No Facebook messenger. ☹️
You can copy the link and share it in whatever way you want! 😀
@@GrainsandGrit yes, I’ve done that before to private texts. Just wish it would go to Facebook
Amen Sister!! 🎉❤
Wow! What courage! Thanks, Felicia for going with your convictions. I love nutrition and great health God’s way, and really felt convicted by many foodies who are promoting these diets, including vegetarian and veganism. The foundational philosophy is important to me. My foundation is Scripture! Appreciate your love for the His Truth🙏🏼
Amen!
@@kl3625 her courage came from expressing her convictions that she supported with Scripture. I’ve been watching a LOT of eating plan videos trying to find what is best for me and never ran across this openly expressive viewpoint which I agree with. My conclusions came before the video and she just confirmed my personal opinion for my journey. As far as Romans 14, she wasn’t judging anyone on what they may eat or drink. I have judged in the past, was convicted by the Holy Spirit to repent, I did. She was giving her thoughts on particular diets or eating plans that are so popular. Just as Paul said, do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God; (and before that)let us pursue what makes for peace and mutual upbuilding. People should always come first in sharing a meal, not some diet.
When you said "let's get started shall we" it made me think of the old thread banger video. Fun crafty times. 😊
Keto limits carbs and does not eliminate bread.
My late pastor daughter has celiac disease and has to avoid gluten.
Aw, I'm sorry to hear that.
Awesome to see you using the uncorrupted words of God found in English today in the KJB!
Felicia,
You are a blessing to me! Thank you for the courage to share your understanding of how grains fit into a Biblicle diet. I did go gluten-free several years to help with a health issue/leaky gut. But when I learned about grinding my own flour, the nutrients in the whole grains I had been missing in my diet had a positive impact on my mood as well as my gut. I feel healthier than ever getting the nutritional benefits from the grains. I love that Jesus called Himself the Bread of Life.
Thank-you so much for these sweet words. I'm so glad these videos are helping you.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
I need a little education, please. I notice that when I stay away from bread my joints do not hurt as much. I have read a little on the subject but I feel what I found was a wee bit sketchy. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you and God bless you.
Your first question to ask is “what bread I eating?” If you have only had bread from the store that is dead, white flour. Nutrients have either been stripped or oxidated.
REAL bread is made from 100% freshly milled wheat and made at home! 😀
👏 And you nailed it at the end … 1Ti 4:3 … saying to abstain from foods which Elohim created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. … 1Ti 4:5 for it (meat) is set apart by the Word of Elohim(a) and prayer.(b) (Footnotes: a Lev 11:1-47 and Deu 14:1-29. b 1Co 10:31)
Heretical diets? Oh my good god, y'all are NUTS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bulgur wheat is very common in middle east cooking.
Jesus also walked everywere which changes caloric requirement. A 15 minute walk after eating keeps the blood sugar from spiking too high.
I have been plantbased for 3 yrs now, no meat none. I do not miss it either,
Amen amen you said it all
I like your channel and I like your videos, they are smart and funny.
It's cool how you embrace nutrition with scripture.
I always thought that if Jesus is the Bread of Life, He would never compare Himself to something negative.
Thank you! WIth love from Europe!
The bread that Jesus ate is not the same as what is on the grocery store shelves now. Wheat has been selectively bred for generations. It is really not that surprising some people cannot tolerate it well. Having said that, good bread is...a gift from God.❤
Exactly! The bread from processed dead flour in US stores has simply ruined the metaphor for so many. I'm trying to help them see its original intent.
I know a couple of people who have Celiac disease. They are not able to eat any gluten at all. Not even a crumb.
Yep, nearly a whole 1% of the population is diagnosed celiac.
I've been eating low-carb for 4 years and thouogh I have "cheat" days where I allow myself my favorite pizza or a baked potato (as long as it is real food) then I plan to continue to eat this way. I've eaten low carb many times since 1976 when I first read Dr. Atkins book.
Each person has their own body and what makes them feel good. I've had friends who have had IBS and other stomach issues and they were eventually able to heal their guts by finding the right diet for them.
Taste buds also play a huge role in what and how people eat. I grew up eating some fish and now I hate all fish. Never ate seafood and won't.
We each have our own body, yet we were all made alike - otherwise the science of medicine would be impossible. God's words are equally true for all of us.
The milk was most likely sheep or goat and the honey was date honey.
I thought this was interesting. 1) I'm 53 and eat healthy... whole grain, meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables... very few processed foods, and very little sugar, yet I have a good 20-25 lbs I cannot shed. I exercise, I'm active... but I think going through "the change" had definitely changed my metabolism. We all are created different. As you said, there are some very skinny people who eat terrible. They may look ok, but they have horrible gut issues (I used to be that person). 2) I wanted to add a problem with the low-fat diet, that I think adds to your point. The low-fat processed foods dump in a TON of sugar. Sugar is super addictive. These low-fat diets actually make people gain weight and cause gluttony, which is a sin. Also, this fad since the 80's/90's has caused people to stop learning how to cook and can now only microwave their processed food. Personally, I probably gave a bigger issue with this diet, but I agree and see your points with the others as well.
It seems, Biblically, eating real food is really what God intended, and there is a plethora to choose from!
Amen, those are good points. And yes, low-fat foods are LOADED with processed sugar to make them edible!
Nice work
My son gets violently ill if he eats gluten. He has to be careful with sauces, everything.
I understand that. But, as I always say, there is a difference between gluten and consuming it the way God intended (whole grain form, not white flour). 😀
@@GrainsandGrityou are so wrong. Are you saying gluten intolerance and celiac are fake illnesses? What medical degree do you have? Would you tell a person allergic to peanuts to just eat it in its whole state and not peanut butter? That last verse you quoted about not telling someone to abstain from meat, is about meat, not bread or food. (There are those who say to eat raw fruits and vegetables like in the garden). You quote the land of milk and honey means milk and honey, but meat doesn’t mean meat? Interesting… also manna was ground up but they didn’t know what it was. There’s more things than wheat that can be ground to make a bread, including beans.
I went to have my upper and lower scope done I have lots of issues I have diverticulitis and gerd ulsers in my throat and stomach acid reflux barrett's esophagus and now he thinks I have celiac disease I'm on alot of medicine now but I been wanting to make my homemade bread I just been so sick to even get started I had the flu the week Before Christmas and I'm juice now starting to feel better still coughing but I have lot weight from alll my stomach issues it's like eat this diverticulitis don't eat with gerd acid stuff so I have to figure something out to heal my stomach
You can do. Don't give up! :-)
Respectfully, the bible does speak about food - The New Testament specifically teaches us that the law has been fulfilled and that no foods that He has provided are any longer off limits to us, and when we partake of them we should receive them with thanks. The heresy is in teaching people that abstience from certain foods is necessary for holiness and a proper spiritual life. These diets abstain from certain types of foods for health choices - they would only be heretical if they implied that there was a biblical reason for abstaining and that abstaining is necessary for proper spiritual living - which none of them do.
The people who push these diets are not selling them as temporary, medically necessary solutions. They're saying this is how humans "should" eat as a lifestyle. Should is a moral term.
All foods were cleared by God as nourishment for the body. Furthermore he warned about putting stumbling blocks before your brother concerning their diet lest he stumble, that what goes into a man's mouth does not defile him, but what comes out of it does.
Lev 11:45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Lev 11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
Lev 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Exactly
@GrainsandGrit it's important we understand the biblical context and this is simply inaccurate. Paul wasn't referring to diets for weight, he was referring to Gentiles sacrificing food to idols and newly converted jews who were still practicing Old Testament law
I am very grateful to you for all your help with making bread. The first video we watched was making Ezekiel bread. We now eat whole grain organic bread which we mill ourselves. Too much of what is said on the Internet is nonsense.
Bread has been eaten by humans since the dawn of history. Bread was also eaten by Greeks and it was a staple. They also drank milk, ate eggs and meat along with plants.
You did not mention the foods the Israelites were told they could "eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud." We did some research on the animals like pork, shrimp catfish and others. These have a different digestive system so it is likely not healthy since they are scavengers.
We usually have a garden. At the moment we are forced to temporarily live in an apartment so this is not possible.
There is a lot of information out lately about fasting so we did try it. Fasting does work. Fasting is also in the books of the bible. We now skip breakfast and we go a long time between meals.
Again thank you for all the help. You have done Gods work. Eva
I agree fasting is a good practice! And I didn't go into the whole clean vs unclean meat. That's a whole other video on its own lol
I totally agree with you!!! In all points! Satan has duped us in this area! I too am an RN! I think white sugar is a major cause of sickness! Just cut that out and stick to whole freshly milled grains. Try to eat as clean as you can. But, in the end we are all going to die. I just want to feel my best when I go! Blessings and a great presentation! Thank you!
Thank you for this. Factory made, man made food. Food that is not made from God's hands is not good for us.
What about people who are lactose intolerant? I think about 75% of people cannot digest dairy. It makes me very congested.
I mentioned early on, this video isn’t for people with true allergies and health issues.
Olive oil or Avocado oil. Avoid seed oils high in omega 6 fats which cause inflammation and 120 calories per tablespoon.
Actually they didn't ingest the large amount of honey that's in Bread Beckers bread recipe. They used it but not all the time. And they ate only twice a day, the 1st a light meal the last was around 4 in the afternoon. Meat only in moderation and special occasions.
I love the Lord with all my heart and have pretty much always ate from Biblical perspective, except milling ones own wheat wasn't an option in my day. I do agree over all, except for certain circumstances like when you are fasting. One can fast for a few months and come out better for it by eliminating certain foods. You must fast at whatever diet the Lord tell us for he knows what we need for the illness we suffer. For instance eating only meat, carnivore diet, for a few months can literally starve out cancer because it feeds on sugar. John the Baptist fasted on locust for quite a while but for a different reason. Pure protein only, has helped the bodies of many people heal from Parkinson's and other disease, but their mistake is, it should only be used short term. Not for the rest of their lives. Too long will end up causing more harm than good. One woman did it for 6 years and just dropped dead one day for no apparent reason. It was later found she suffered from not getting other nutrients her body needed. Any sugars, excess carbs that converts to sugars, even honey, molasses and whatnot feeds cancer. Cancer doesn't care. Although I cannot bring myself to eat much meats, I literally got rid of gout and fibromyalgia and gut issues by fasting, cutting out all sugar, including so called healthy sugars for over a year. I would not eat anything including bread, crackers, you name it. No fruits including tomatoes. Almost zero carbs except what I could get from lentils, beans. It will take your sweet tooth away and I lost 15 lbs, that I didn't even need to lose. But it didn't hurt. If I had known about fresh milled wheat being an option then, it would have been awesome. But I didn't. When I got my mill, I tried Bread Beckers bread recipe and it's way too sweet for me. Honey is sweeter than white sugar in taste, and has twice as many calories per tablespoon, (but is lower in glucose and fructose, a good thing) but using that much in bread, replacing white sugar, was too sweet. I have never even used that much white sugar in any sandwich bread recipe. Way too much honey. Im 69 and learned baking from my mother. I don't use any sweetener in biscuits, pie crust. Very little in Cornbread. I've always been a well studied health nut since age 15. Always baked breads but organic flour never helped my constipation problems. Now the problem is non existent. I love milling my own wheat and have tweaked the bread recipe. Actually everything I bake with it has to have less sugars. PS, I never gained that 15 lbs back either. To me the biggest enemy in health is overuse of sugars of any type. I do a lot of intermediate fasting. It helps fibromyalgia.
Can you share the bread recipe you've come up with? I would like to get away from using as much honey and oil as Sue's recipe calls for.
You can easily just omit the honey and it turns out fine! I’ve done it many times 😀 I wouldn’t back off on the oil though. Just use a highly quality oil like real olive oil.
I think you have made excellent points. If you’re sick, often times you need to do something way different for a time to heal! Then get back to “normal.” People have gone on juice fasts to heal from cancer or other autoimmune diseases. I completely agree and applaud this but no one would ever say you should be on it for life!!
The Bible talks about letting our moderation be known to all men! We shouldn’t be living in the extreme, but sometimes there are periods where it’s needed (fasting, cutting out food groups, etc).
Experimentation is key, people respond differently to different diet protocols. After years of trying different nutritional approaches, Paleo has me at my best. Yes grains and legumes (Yes including wheat) make me feel like crap. I was starting to develop UC/IBD symptoms, very serious ones. I tried organic, whole grains as well as organic wheat. My brain is at its sharpest, my digestion is perfect, im at my leanest/strongest, all is good. Im a personal trainer who has worked with many clients and many have had my experience as well. Your intention is good, but be sure to not speak for everyone. There is so much conflicting science out there, so best to experiment and not be dogmatic. Your anger about this thing says a lot, not about others, about your attachment to your ideology. As well as your association with those grain farmers.
Also, grains throw off your omega 6 to 3 ratio way off. They are very high in omega 6's. That causes inflammation and is mainstream science. An ideal ratio is 1:1-1:4 with the 1 being the omega 3's. The average american is at over 1: 20
Peace.
God knows what He's talking about. I'll follow Him, thank-you kindly.
My son has suffered with Ulcerative colitis from the time he was 9. He is 17 now. We healed his gut through the gaps diet. He cannot eat whole grain foods. I mill my own wheat and love to bake. He reacts to it when he eats it. So, there is something to be said about whole grains. Food is good, but we live under the curse of sin and a very broken world. Things affect our bodies in different ways. God will not condemn people for the way they chose to eat but for their rejection of His Son. Let’s preach Christ and him crucified and leave the other stuff alone. Eat and give thanks no matter how we choose to eat. He is worthy of all the praise.
I clearly stated in this video this isn’t for people with true allergies or health issues.
You also said that eating a certain way aka carnivore or keto is heretical. Implying that those who HAVE to eat that way are not honoring the Lord. And honestly, if it is heretical, even if you excuse those of us who have to eat that way, who are you to excuse anyone from not eating the way you say the lord see fit for us to eat. Just something to think about. If it’s a matter of conscience then like the book of Romans in chapter 14 talks about then you should definitely not eat that way. But to preach it either way as gospel is being legalistic and I would say is just as heretical. It would be better for you to just state it as a conscience issue. I said to lay this aside and preach Christ instead because of this very reason. People who have real health issues, especially in the States, have healed on these diets by Gods grace. Some can consume grains after healing but a lot can’t. I would encourage you not to demonize any certain way of eating. It can be life and death to a lot of people. And I mean physical death. And certainly don’t use scripture to tell people it’s heretical when God USES all kinds of foods to heal people and sustain people. That’s really what I was getting at without having to say it but I guess I wanted to clarify and be more pointed.
@@homesteadinthesuburbs5092 If you call certain foods that God created for us to eat bad/evil THAT is what is heretical. Do not call what God calls good, bad.
You stated that if one believes in the Bible that they will avoid these diets. It’s just not true. Romans 14 talks all about our conscience. God never condemns a way of eating or any one food group. He condemns those that judge others as they eat and drink in freedom. Your exegesis of the word of God is very flawed. That is what I have issue with. You can have an opinion but when you are inappropriately using scripture and making it fit what your conscience says is right and wrong that is where the issue is. You are calling people heretics who eat this way whether or not it is preferred or for health reasons. If you call a certain thing heretical the implication is that those who take part in it are heretics. No way around that. It’s wrong. Period. Peace and I digress.
Christians should be skeptical of these diets BECAUSE they are calling foods that God created good, bad/evil. So question it. But at the end of the day, as I stated in the video, this isn't for people with true allergies or health issues.

My mother has been trying so hard to get me to eat only carnavor, I refuse and now I have a video to share with her for why it is not right. Thank you for this info.
It is definitely not something that is good for long term!
My doctor wants me on a high fiber diet
No better way to do that than whole grains!
100% agree
Why am I slandered for that which I give thanks?
Whether then you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
We are not bound to the OT dietary laws.
100% agree
So during the last supper Jesus said the wine was His blood. Does this mean we should all be drinking wine just as you say we should be eating bread because Jesus said He is the bread of life? Just curious.
No, but it probably means we should be drinking wine...
@@GrainsandGritwine in biblical times was not like wine of today. Don’t think I’ll be drinking wine when I can get the same benefits from 100% grape juice.
Paleo meat was much leaner and eaten infrequently. Look to the Hadza people for their lifestyle, diet and level of activity.
HEAR HEAR!
Nothing really wrong with any which way of eating so long as it’s in moderation. The biggest change with modern society is that we eat much more meat and wheat and everything in general, we eat more regularly with less times of fasting and more times of plenty and physically we work less to achieve this. In the past soups and broths would have been consumed a lot more with bread which they would have milled the flour possibly harvested the wheat perhaps they walked or even rode a horse to get the grain etc etc they chopped the wood to light the fire they fetched the water to hand wash their clothes etc etc you get it….. in the end we over indulge and work less. It’s not the food groups.
Very good! Thank you.
Back in Jesus’ day the common people ate little meat. The rich became sickly by eating too much meat and unhealthy food. The common people were constantly working, gathering food, fuel, and preparing everything by hand. No fancy kitchen gadgets. They literally worked for their meal. The rich did no physical labor became sickly from lack of exercise. Jesus and the disciples walked a lot and even plucked some grain on the Sabbath. Jesus served barley loaves. Jesus served unleavened bread. And he made good wine. Wine that would have been alive with natural fermentation and had no sulfites and other chemicals. Exploring the Bible and the time period for food knowledge is time well spent!
All excellent points! Thank you :-)
Totally agree 👍. And the weight looks good on you (healthy)I’ve always thought that,not just because you’re doing a video.and let’s be real.no man want to jump on a bag of bones (I don’t think I should of said that 😂)l skinny and wish to have a bit of meat on my bones ❤
lol you are so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️ And I praise God for how He made you! We are all shaped differently and He just expects us to do our best with what He gave us 😀
What is good about whole grain ? Fiber? I now think fiber is more harmful than helpful.
Fiber is good and needed for your digestion and also cleansing out your digestive tract well. Fiber is what good bacteria eat off of as it travels through the digestive tract.
Look it up because God placed fiber in so many foods and He knows what our bodies need!!
@@GrainsandGrit He also did not put fiber in animal foods. Seems like God put a variety of foods in different environments. Animal foods are the most nutrient dense and more easily absorbed. But if none are available, you can get by on plant foods for a time. However, soaking grains seems to be a hack that humans should employ since we don't have 4 stomachs to digest plant material.
Eating banana bread with freshly milled grain right now 😉 ❤
Yum!!!
♥
Read leviticus what to eat what not to eat. Simple
Omg. The comment about the Israelites and the meat 🙄. What about unleavened bread. Shouldn’t you stop using yeast then? Hmmmm?
Yeast is infact symbolic of sin in the Bible in most places.
Riddle me this-
Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego ate vegetables for a while. Are they heretics? What about the people who fasted and didn't eat grains for a while? Are they also heretics? 🥸
Dude, the priests were eating tons of barbecue. What are we going to do? Oh my gosh their cholesterol LOL
What about it? They dropped the leaven for 7 days to symbolize putting away sin. What's your point?
About the carnivore diet--I so agree with you!! I even find it offensive. I know this is harsh, but it is my gut reaction to this diet. God has blessed us with an abundance of good foods. Even with the foods He has given us though, it is possible to move away from good health to poor health when we continually overindulge or move away from "moderation in all things."
Amen and amen!!!! I’m the same way about the carnivore. The first time I ever heard about it I was instantly annoyed lol Never felt that way about any other diet. Something about that one just sounds wrong to its core.
Romans 14:3
New International Version
The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them.
I really hope you pray about being so judgemental of others and how they eat. 🙏🙏🙏
So....those people who condemn an entire food group are doing what?
Sheep and goats produce a lot less milk than cows and modern cows produce a lot more milk than ancient cows.
