- Taking inspiration from the mid-Victorian era, this video provides a complete guide to nutrition and healthy eating to help you normalise your weight and prevent chronic disease. Loose weight, feel better, and you don't have to calorie count. I cover whole foods / minimally processed foods vs modern overly processed foods, alcohol, organic foods, time restricted eating, macronutrient and micronutrient balance, and what to do about carbohydrates (including low carb).

If you Grandmother/Great Grandmother would not have recognised it as food, don't eat it. A very simple but great rule to eat by. Also my mother had a saying that she learnt from her mother, always leave the dining table with room for some more.
Yes, and people need to remember that seed oils were not available in the Victorian era. I don’t know this until recently!
@PeaceIsYeshua seed oils were developed for industrial purposes. Then the oil industry supplied this product cheaper, which were by products. So they pushed seed oils into foods to keep their profits, and demonising animal fat for their profits .everything is a lie
Your opening statement is exactly why I am a carnivore. I eat only meat and feel amazing and NOT sick like when I was eating carbs. Never going back to eating like Americans.
I am very much an omnivore and feel great on that. But it is amazing hearing people reversing all sorts of conditions including autoimmune conditions on a carnivore diet and is staggering the medical establishment is seemingly disinterested. Fantastic you feel great on meat!
@@drphilipbosanquetI'm on carnivore with berries and coffee and occasional dairy, I really wanted to stay omnivore like you say, but it goes all against me, even dairy is a push 😏. On beef butter and eggs I thrive 😀🎉
@@drphilipbosanquet I am also carnivor except that I still have coffee. I feel great on meat. Fiber is not necessary. The digestion works well without fiber. Many people who have IBS (I don't) have less problems when avoiding fiber.
@@zorabw8948yes, cured my UC and reflux. I still have coffee and dairy. Also i will have a cheat day with pepperoni pizza every few months. But you know one of the greatest concerns for me is glyphosefate, spelt wrong, it's in everything now. Luckily we have our own chemical free meat.
I’ve started eating a high protein, low carbohydrate diet since November. I have cut out processed foods and have replaced it with foods as close to nature as I can get them. I eat a lot of red meat and pasture-raised eggs as well. I have dropped 40 pounds and my A1C is back in the normal range. I haven’t felt this good in 25 years.
That is awesome, great work!
What’s A1C. ?
@@14caz68 Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is glycosylated haemoglobin - a blood test that measures how many sugar molecules have 'stuck' to the haemoglobin in your Red Blood Cells (RBCs) over their lifetime (around 120 days). It gives you an 'average' of the blood sugar (glucose) levels over the last 120 days. The result can diagnose, exclude and monitor diabetes. Hope that helps. I'm a retired medical doctor (GP) in the UK 🇬🇧
@@gdok6088 thank you.
I’ve found that Intermittent fasting and low carb diet has worked for me. Along with some light aerobic exercise 4 days a week and weightlifting 2 days per week.
My so called free range chicken have been victims of government fearmonger on bird flu...theyre all in the barn
There is a book called The Jane Austin diet that talks about this. It’s a good read.
@mare, thank you for mentioning this! I will look it up! ❤
Interesting, will check that out.
@@drphilipbosanquet Correction to spelling, it’s Austen
I have ridiculously inconvenient food allergies. It keeps me eating food that I’ve prepared myself. I feel great! Real food is definitely best.
Excellent summary. We are what we eat!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it.
Brilliant! I’ve mostly been eating like this for years (I cook). It cannot be overstressed how crap processed food is. Bad for the body, bad for the brain, and damaging to their longevity. Keep well.
Nice one. I agree, I think many people view processed food as suboptimal, but like you, I think it is devastating to a degree people don't realise.
I like your common sense approach to this subject. I achieved type 2 remission a year and half ago and maintain a now reducing healthy A1c thanks to low carb, ketogenic and carnivore. I did that in stages but all of it included what your talking about here in the lives of Victorians. I am starting to wonder now how much seed oils could have done major damage to my body and again, Victorians had the answer there as also with food aditives, emulsifiers and preservatives. Another thing, the Victorians didnt demonise meat, fish, eggs as we do today. Looking back in time is likely a source of useful information as recent approaches to obesity are not working.
Fantastic you've made that progress, nice one. Meat has always been the most important food to humans (see my animal fat vid) up until bizarre modern trends. Very sad people don't realise the damage being done by demonising it.
Also washing once a week or so. Your skins natural oils keeps germs outside.😊😊
Agreed (probably why people keep their distance from me), loads of skin problems caused by excessive washing. I just use olive oil bar soap and an egg for shampoo to dodge the endocrine disrupting chemicals in personal care products too!
Unless it allergy season in California
@@drphilipbosanquet Cracking an egg over other hairy bits sounds a bit kinky, but I guess it could be nourishing. I'll give it a go! The way that eggs were demonised during the era of obsessing about 'low fat' and avoiding dietary cholesterol was so misguided - sad. Eggs (pasture raised, free range) are a great food.
I am sure they were eating bread as their main basic food. Then beans and legumes and fruit in the summer. Honey also. Milk from cattle. Back in the days - they did not kill cattle freqvently, because they had milk , also they cannot preserve so much meat , so they kill an animal during festive occasion , and fed lots of people , ocasionaly. Chicken might be on the plate once a week for the family , there is a lot of work with cleaning the chicken , so they did not eat meat more then once a week. People living by the sea had fish often though , this is the only meat exception. Also , they had eggs regurarly. Yes , everything was clean , the rural people , having their land were probably well fed and lived quite good , healthy lives..hopefully..
Thank you
Oh I do love the 'get enough sleep' mantra, repeated SO often. Yeah, I'd love to get enough, good quality sleep but I don't and can't. All anyone ever suggest are the old, oft repeated chestnuts, which believe me, anyone who sleeps badly have tried. It's not helpful.
I'm 68 and also slept poorly for many years...until I ditched my bed and started sleeping on the floor (Japanese tatami mat). Total game changer. Wish I had known earlier.
This is a very romantic way to view diet and cooking too. If I actually hand whipped egg whites into stiff peaks to make certain desserts I probably would not make them 😅😂 or churn my own butter 😂 how they did it all by hand is amazing.
Churning butter is actually simple and not as time consuming as people would have you believe and of course, you could use a food processor.
The claim that many people in Victorian England were tea total is dubious. Water in was not safe unless boiled. Tea was expensive. Beer was cheap. Gin was lovely da'ling. And lordnum kept the kids quiet.
Re the history, I have only gone by that specific paper, don't know much more myself. They are dealing with a relatively small portion of the Victorian era though maybe that comes into it? I have also heard about times of high beer intake due to safety relative to water.
I currently have to take painkillers and have been taking them every day for a year. I am careful with what I eat but my medicine contains artificial additives and when I asked for a different formula these ones contain saccharine!
Didn't the Victoria's have high teas which included sponge cakes with jam and cream, lots of sandwiches, biscuits, etc. The one thing going for them would have been the absence of pesticides, in regards to food. A big plus. Many died of 'consumption', scarlet fever, an other childhood illnesses.
HE SAID... Between 1830 and 1860
Infectious diseases which have zero to do with diet
@@emcarver8983 He also talked about life expectancy at age 5 - thus excluding most childhood deaths.
And yet rickets were rife. The average Victorian ate very poorly, some children weren’t even paid for their work if they were orphans, they couldn’t afford food. I work in a museum and you can see how sick they were from their bones. Rural people were generally healthy, but the normal person in the city wasn’t a pinnacle of health *at all*.
A vey good point.
Completely agree, most of what I've read about health in the Victorian era is horrific. Although that is what makes the cited paper an interesting read. Of course from the nutrition point of view, less about the Victorian era per se than just rolling back modern processed foods.
Rickets are mostly caused by not getting any sun. Almost none of our vitamin D comes from our diet by comparison (unless we religiously avoid the sun that is, which we definitely should not do)
This video is amazing!!! We should make a Charles Dickens cook book!
Thanks a lot!
Starvation which was rife isn’t something to strive for, don’t get me wrong far too many fat people who won’t taken responsibility for their poor diet choices these days astounds me by how much beige food they can pack into one trolley.
I bought a greenhouse last year and this year have expanded to growing tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, raspberries and cauliflowers.
The lettuce which is new this year taste of something just as home grown tomatoes are like might and day to shop bought as well as raspberries.
You can actually pack quite a lot in a small space as my lettuce and strawberries hang in containers from my gazebo.
I also bought a licorice plant which I’m keeping in a planter because it spreads like mad to keep my hayfever symptoms under control, smelling the vague scent for a few minutes eases and stops hayfever. I’ve barely sneezed and had no red eyes or runny nose this year thanks to that plant.
Very clear and concise instructions, thx. 👏🇦🇺
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so. Much for your very informative information, i have recently cut right down on carbs and ended my addiction to my little gin and tonic which was never a little gin - those gin glasses are so big 🙄 I’ve lost a stone so quickly and thinking about what we are eating and beginning to grow a little in my small garden but again thank you for your valuable information .
Will you be looking at mushroom intake at anytime as there seems to be a lot of interest in the benefits , I have just started drinking organic lions mane coffee - just something else to add to your list 😂
wish you could get talking to those pesky NHS ‘ experts’ who do mislead us and bring in Drs like yourself who want to get the message out . Well done Sir , Julie
Isn't the time you refer to the same as the original Banting diet?
Great video and fortunately, I've been on board with this for a while. Intermittent fasting and eating Whole Foods for the last 3 years.
You mentioned any artificial sweetener. Curious about your thoughts on Stevia and monk fruit.... I use Stevia In The Raw on the regular in my coffee
you mention the chemicals but suggest to eat whole grains? Doesn't make sense.
Yes! Grains are horrible for humans
05:48 does that factor in that it takes 5 or so hours, to fully empty the stomach.
Last meal. 1800 + 5 hours to full empty, that would bring the time up to 2300, so at 1100 the next day would mean, a true fast of 12 hours.
No doubt, the later you eat and the closer to bedtime, the more time it would take to fully empty the stomach?
An interesting take on dietary advice.
Fibre is indigestible muck
What about whole organic milk ?
Sounds good, we get unpasteurised (raw) milk whenever we can.
Food was expensive and natural in the Victoria era
We are Facultive Carnivores not omnis.
As a nutritionist it makes me cringe when I hear/see people recommending that people cut out carbs. Your body needs carbs. It runs on carbs. Don’t confuse healthy carbs with high fat foods such as donuts, chips, fries, etc. Those foods may have carbs, but they are by no means a carbohydrate food, they are a fat food.
Your body may need glucose, but it doesn't need you to eat any. It can use gluconeogenesis to generate it from fats or proteins. Don't need to eat any carbs at all (not recommending, just saying).
@@drphilipbosanquet Our primary purpose for eating is for fuel. Do you agree? Our fuel, which provides us with the energy we need to live, comes is only one exact arrangement of atoms. I’m assuming you learned that in school. We eat for this one substance. What is it? Sugar! Sugar, as I’m sure you know, is a six-carbon molecule (1 aldehyde and 5 hydroxyl groups) Carbohydrates are just 2 or more sugars connected together. I’m sure if you were honest with your viewers, you could/would tell them the effects of severally cutting carbs. Also, I’m sure if you were honest with your viewers, you would tell them that you have never come into contact with anyone that suffers a protein deficiency, at least not in any developed nation. You would also tell them that any diet that claims to be a high protein diet, such as paleo, is actually a high fat diet. For example, if someone on a paleo or other high animal product diet, eats between 10%-35% of their calories from protein (which is the average) and they consume no carbohydrates, then they would be consuming anywhere from 65%-90% of their calories from fat! Too much saturated fat typically causes cholesterol to build up your arteries. As a doctor, I’m assuming you know what frequently happens when arteries become clogged with plaque, but just for the sake of clarity, clogged arteries become narrow and harden, which most likely will reduce blood flow and oxygen to vital organs. This can lead to such common conditions such as CVD, strokes, and heart attacks. Sadly, many physicians lead their patients down this path by recommending a high fat, low fiber, low carbohydrate diet.
The “eat more sugar because fat is terrible” lie was carefully crafted, with a certain purpose in mind, and with big money, big pharma, bought politicians and schools still teaching this 1970s “health” crap to doctors and nutritionists, it dies a slow death.
