    I typically have a smoothie for breakfast these days. 2 table spoons of steel cut oats, a banana, a date and a cup of lettuce. You can get a good 12 -15 grams of fiber right there. I'll have an apple later in the day and some veg for lunch along with my meat/fish and maybe even another smoothie later on in the afternoon. Don't eat all your daily fiber at once and make sure you're drinking water and spacing it out throughout the day.

Incidentally, Dennis Burkitt wrote extensively on this topic decades ago after working in Africa and observing the connections between diet and health in underdeveloped nations versus developed nations. I am glad that the research continues on this important health topic. At the very least, fibre is a "marker" for a healthy diet, but it is actually so much more than that, as we see in this video.

    Fiber is highly correlated to nutrient density, but is fiber really essential? Perhaps it's the micronutrients in the fiber-rich foods that play the primary role in positive health outcomes and the fiber-rich foods that tend to replace refined carbohydrates in diets that can account for the correlation between fiber and BGL, low LDL-C, etc... And should we be so focused on fiber that we neglect to eat it in its original whole food form? Adding fiber to foods (fortified) or getting fiber from grains (grain proteins and pesticides are of particular concern) that are highly processed can lead to food choices that may not be as nutrient dense or benefit overall health if consumed in high amounts. Food for thought...

    • @29sentz
      @29sentz 2 роки тому +4

      According to nature, fiber is necessary. Since it is present in fruit. And fruit is our closest to perfect calorie source. Forget about refined carbohydrates and grains, those are just counterfeit half-ass distraction versions of "food". Fruit and nuts/seeds for the foundation of our diet, sprinkled with some (perhaps) oily seafood, and nutrient dense greens (kale, parsley, local lettuce, etc), and maybe some sprouted wild rice (if you can procure it in a close to raw form) or raw sprouted beans (like garbanzo/chickpea, etc). And fermented foods for B12 (unless doing small amounts of oily seafood).

    Not convinced. Saw the first 25 minutes, but then the length of time the Quaker Oats box stayed on the screen told me all I needed to know. Maybe there is a role in modulating glucose absorption from the gut, but then if you don't eat refined carbs that's hardly likely to be a problem anyway.
    As Zoe Harcombe points out, a] the case for fibre is not convincing b] the "dietary guidelines" for daily intake were made up without any reference to facts or research c] the closeness of international cereal companies like Kellogg's to Governmental food agencies does not stand up to scrutiny and d] if we really feel we need it we can get more than the dietary guidelines suggest from veg and pulses. No need for grains at all.

    Saturated fats aren't causing heart disease. Also reducing cholesterol production does nothing. Cholesterol is made to fix damaged arteries (caused ie by inflammation caused by eating grains), it is something good. Keeping it from being made does nothing since the damage is already there. It would be like surpressing an emergency call from reaching the police, believing that this would prevent the crime in progress.

      > Saturated fats aren't causing heart disease.
      Sat fats can be contributing factor as they promote translocation of endotoxins (ie LPS) from gut into blood stream.
      Also fats (esp from industrially raised) animals are frequently contaminated with endotoxins & pollutants.
      Also in the context of a high-carb diet, sat fats contribute to hyper-insulinemia.

You are correct in your assertion that inflammation starts the process of atheroma formation after arterial damage to the intima (inner lining of the artery) but the major ingredients of this atheroma are Cholesterol and Saturated Fatty acids that are deposited under the inner lining.

      That is way too low in fiber.
      That means that for a 2,500 calorie per day eater they should be going for 25 grams of fiber. While that is on the high side of the "recommendations" on most food packages, that amount is still too low.
      1g fiber per 100 calories is almost as bad as being told that cholesterol levels under 200 is "normal"
      "Normal" isn't healthy. And to get 1 gram of fiber per 100 calories pretty much means you are trying to avoid fiber.

    I've simply cut through all the confusion regarding diet dogma and opposing research conclusions. Here is my personal resolution of all the confusion which boils down to "Listen to your body's cues."
    Longer version here:
    The longer my fasting autophagy window and the shorter my feasting window (eating to satiation, no more, no less) without any diet dogma, but simply following the body's perceptic cues (sight, smells, taste) resolves all body ailments in my case, even to the restoration of thyroid function where the thyroid was removed in 1971.
    In fact, after years of upping my fasting game and shortening my feasting window as stated above the cravings have vanished - cravings for cooked lean meats, starchy pastas and breads and rice, and processed sugary sweets, and cooked foods with added salts have all vanished, even though in the past I ate heavily of these food types. At one point my body even did a huge salt purge and since then my tolerance for added salts is almost zero.
    I simply listen to my body cues as stated above and I feel safer doing that than following any research and diet dogma.
    Currently - and continuing to have a longer fasting autophagy window than feasting window - my body's perceptics or cravings tend to steer me to certain fats and certain raw ripe fruits, seaweeds, and occasionally a plate of raw sashimi or raw steak tartare.
    I also now tend more to mono-eat, for example, I spent one whole summer eating nothing but watermelon with a squeeze of raw lemon and the body never got tired of that and never demanded more than that..... just an example of listening to the body. The only problem during that watermelon eating summer was the body got fussy about selecting watermelon for its color and sweetness and texture.
    Another example, this winter my body loved seaweed broth with a squeeze of lemon and the cooked leaves smashed as a pesto in romaine lettuce leaf wraps. I just allow the body's perceptics to guide me in my eating and drinking. I have to also add that my body loves fresh raw ginger root juice, and I hear it is a great digestive.
    My body does go in and out of liking certain foods so I have to eat what it tells me in that moment what it desires. For example, there were three raw chicken livers in front of me and the first raw one tasted like candy, the second one not so much and the third one tasted like mud and I spit it out.
    My theory is that so much fasting autophagy has increased my body's ability to ongoing cleanse itself at a cellular level that any resident parasites and fungals, yeasts - therefore their voice - is so diminished that the "voice" of my body itself is now predominant. For example, it is known that certain internal parasites love milk sugars.
    The only other entity that interferes with the body intelligence is my mind's nostalgic memories of foods in the past, especially when emotionally stressed, making me think that - for example - that mac 'n cheese I used to love will taste just as good today as it did in the past, which is never the case now that my body can keep itself cleansed and biochemically righted - my mind gives me a past picture making me think it will work now too. I have heard people call it "stress eating".... and not a pure body hunger from an internally clean body. But if stress eating does occur, okay, eat that chocolate fudge brownie if you must. Then resolve what caused the stress and stick with listening to the body and fast for autophagy long enough to over-compensate for whatever was eaten - don't let the body's lymphatic system get overwhelmed and stagnant and obstructed for it is responsible for washing every cell in the body (cells poop too).
    From a biochemical and anatomical perspective the extra enzymatic activity engaged during fasting autophagy and whatever other routine that keeps lymph fluid and moving (such as rebounders) is key to body health and vitality.

    It's basically that simple. Whether you're getting too much sugar, or not enough fiber, or whatever else people fixate on isn't that important unless you're NOT eating real natural food.

She's saying a lot of things that I have seen extensive controlled studies prove untrue or at least worth further consideration, such as her aversion to saturated fats. I happen to adhere to a low carb diet, and as any smart low carb dieter will tell you, fiber is an essential part of the diet. I get plenty of it from green vegetables and berries, which are both high in fiber and relatively low in sugar and starch.

    Given an established gut biome dominated by prevatella bacteria can digest fiber and release the fiber bound phytonutrients, not only is fiber important to feed such bacteria, but the establishment of such a culture accomplished only by a fully plant-based dietary regimen instead of a bacteriodes family of bacteria dominant in a mixed plant-animal dietary regimen that also results in the bacteriodes converting choline and carnitine to TMAOs, the proper WFPB diet is critical as a foundational condition!
    To summarize, a mixes animal-plant regimen results in a gut biome dominated by bacteriodes bacteria. This not only cannot digest fiber and release the fiber-bound phytonutrients, but it also converts carnitine and choline into noxious TMAO by-products.
    Eating a whole food plant based no oil diet allows the prevatella bacteria to dominate the gut biome, and this not only does not generate TMAOs, but it is able to digest WFPB fiber and release the myriad fiber bound phytonutrients.
