Hey y'all, thanks for watching the vid! A few supplemental thoughts...
I will absolutely cop to going with an oversimplified and provocative title here. Sometimes it's easy to sum up a 13-minute piece of content in a few words that people will actually want to click on, and sometimes it's not. You usually either need to sacrifice nuance or clickability, and anyone who makes content for a living constantly struggles with the reality that you can't inform anyone if you don't get their attention, and you can't express your entire piece in a headline (because if you could, there'd be no reason to keep writing beyond the headline).
But, if you've watched the video, I think you'll understand that the basic message is this: If you're a typical over-fed First Worlder (like me), any diet that gets you out of caloric surplus and replaces junk foods with nutrient-dense ones is probably gonna be great for you.
The sense in which I'm calling keto "stupid" here is very narrow - many (most?) people who think they're doing keto aren't actually eating few enough carbs to be in ketosis, and there is not (yet) scientific literature proving that keto has therapeutic benefits for metabolic syndrome beyond those conferred generally by losing weight and eating less junk.
The sense in which I'm calling the raw diet "stupid" is narrow - many of its proponents call it a more "natural" diet, which is in conflict with the weight of anthropological opinion, they often fail to consider reductions in bioavailability of nutrients from raw foods, and they often fail to consider the safety implications of eating raw.
The sense in which I'm calling paleo diets "stupid" is similarly narrow - many of its proponents call it a more "natural" diet, which is in conflict with the weight of anthropological opinion.
I think the science and history behind all of that stuff is interesting, and I thought you would too, so I made a vid about it. That's all!
Great video, I'm sure I'm in the same boat as others in that I'd much rather you have views and income to make more videos than have incredibly nuanced titles. Keep it up!
Adam Ragusea honestly you should pin this comment as it is lost in the comment section

@@elif6908 I have to post the comment before I can pin it. You evidently caught it between those two acts.
I think it was an incredibly effective title, and the criticism of the Keto diet was incredibly fair. Definitely pulled me in to see what I disagreed with and I mostly came away agreeing having already reached the same conclusions.
I was disappointed to learn that the keto diet is not one based entirely on ketamine
Start a diet, I will
Replace food with ketamine, I must
It's called Keto, not Keta :D

Underrated comment 😂
@@Pimkly Thank you! We really do live the diet, but avoid predation. My body chemistry seems to do best on a pre-farming, pre-paleolithic diet. Dr. Fuhrman's G-BOMBS. Greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and some seeds. A few opportunistic omnivore items like eggs and fish don't stir up too much trouble.
Nah, too much work for foods that's all fiber. How about the Archean diet where you scrape and consume bacterial and algal mats growing at the bottom of a shallow lake.
as a vegetarian that commutes by bike this accurately describes my life
Have you thought about planting some of the seeds of the nuts, greens, fruit and waiting to hatch the eggs? It should give you food for thought!

One sect of the raw-community gets it right... Humans are frugivores. Fruit is easy for us to eat (as any animal's diet is for them). And this is why we Fruit-based eaters like Kristina are doing great. Anthropologists say our evolution happened because of calories. And we fruit-eaters get a lot of that when we focus on bananas, dates and mangoes.
And some science that shows this video was one-sided...
"Anthropologists established human nature as a fruit-feeding animal"
"Archaeology confirms our fruit-consuming past"

"What Gave Some Primates Bigger Brains? A Fruit-Filled Diet"

Funny!!
I’m an undergrad chem and micro bio student. One time a vitamin store lady tried to sell me “liquid ketons” for “supporting a keto diet” while trying to convince me my creatine was killing me. I told her to go back to school.
She was probably thinking of you as an idiot. How would she know you weren't?
Creatine is great, though I personally had a friend who was hours away from shutting down his kidneys.
He had botched the conversion of grams to teaspoons and used tablespoons.
He was doing this during the load phase.
Needless to say, on his fourth dose of the day and with massively inadequate water consumption, he shat his pants and collapsed during the warmup part of our karate class.
No, the Creatine didn't poison him. It was the *no water* for half the day that did him in.
Imagine scooping five tablespoons of Creatine into a baggy and then drinking it, without any liquid, at the start of a 45-minute bus ride.
Then Imagine taking a sip of Pepsi from a friend who just happens to be on a next bus transfer.
Then Imagine sitting on that bus for another 15 or 20 minutes.
Then imagine a Karate warmup...
This was the same guy who ate three, yes three, bunches of banana because someone told him it aids in muscle recovery.
And yes, he shat his pants in Karate that night too.
They are among us.
I do the lower end of the grams per pound maintenance phase. I get a lot of Creatine from diet.
I mean creatine isn't really that good for you
Maybe she just wanted some nail polish remover
@@billthompson8182 Damn did he ever get kicked out or suffer any repricusions for shitting himself in class that much? Now come to thing this might be the perfect way to get out of doing a final.
I took science in university and became interested in creatine for brain health. I nearly started supplementing with it until I saw the research showing it is associated with an increased risk of cancer. This was back in 2009, and it seems there’s even more research supporting this now.
I don’t think that people who study science have all the answers-especially when it comes to nutrition. Too many confounding variables. Of course there are things you will know that others don’t, but it depends on your area of focus. I think it’s a matter of making educated decisions and taking risks based on the available evidence. I also take into account anecdotal evidence, as trends can give us some indication of the gaps in our understanding of how things work-especially when there are gaps in funding.
I’m curious, did you ask the vitamin store lady for her credentials, or did you just assume she was uneducated because she was working at a vitamin store?

Misato Blushing that would be awesome, thanks
@@misatoblushing6913 I've never heard from reputable sources that (red even)meat is carcinogenic, only that processed meats like sausages and salami are, the smoking and the chemical additives being the main cause of harm.
I was tired of being fat so I decided to change my life. I didn't really follow any well known diet out there, neither went to a nutritionist (which is not recommended), I only stopped eating processed food, gluten and refined sugar. I started to eat fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs, and I started doing exercises everyday. I lost 55lb and I am feeling really good with myself. People should stop trying to do "the perfect diet" and just start eating healthier, it is not that complicated.
Agreed. Figuring out WHAT to eat is not complicated or difficult. Actually doing it can be for some people
That is paleo. I dunno what the dumb theory is about, but the foods recommended are just generally great for you.
@@OryxAU no its not lmao
Avoiding gluten isn't doing you any favors. Unless you have Celiac, gluten is healthy and a gluten free diet can be nutritionally deficient.
@@magentasunbringer yeah it is. He said fruits, veggies, meat and eggs. That’s paleo.
I got diagnosed with IBS a year and a half ago, realized my gut really hates gluten and since i cut out eating bread, pasta and junk food i lost like 20 lbs. Not a fancy diet or expensive supplements that do nothing long term. Once i stopped eating things that made me feel ill i naturally started to lean towards eating healthier and more balanced meals. I dont really exercise much aside from walking around at work. The change in eating habits is really the only thing i can attribute to my weight loss.
Well then you should start doing resistance training.
"Cooking is an inherently social act."
Me in my kitchen at 3 in the morning making a grilled cheese sandwich by myself in my underwear: Doubt
Maybe not social to your immediate awareness, but it took dozens of other people for you to even *have* that bread and cheese. In terms of anthropology, "social" means society and the unique benefits of being part of a community, not just "socializing" as we think of it.
Sorry to dampen your funny comment but it was a perfect opportunity for teaching.
Not all, an certainly we are doing less social eating now, but most major events in our calanders all revolve around eating together with family. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving for the Americans. Other cultures and religions do it too. Some temples do a pay what you can and feed everyone, which sounds like an awesome idea, those who can pay more cover the costs for those who might be having their best meal of the week.
Don't splatter any of that oil or cheese on yourself!
And yet, here we are socializing on the internet because of cooking...

One of the biggest benefits of keto is the knowledge of where carbs are sneaking in all over the place. It also forces you to cook more and exert more control as a result. Completely cutting the habit of sugary drinks for a few months can allow you to actually enjoy unsweetened beverages like sparkling water. These days I bake fresh bread everyday, but doing low carb for a while was enlightening.
This is something I agree with.
There is nothing wrong with carbs...
@@AnHeC Anything in high or low numbers is bad
@@AnHeC Nobody is wrong. share [your two cents] what you want to share.

I come from Ghana and I use to eat salad and I didn't have to hide anywhere to eat my salad. We also eat raw wild mushrooms called tweahrodo. We eat raw tomoteos by grinding pepper with the tomoteos and some salt which serve as sauce for our dear kenkey

Gotta add a little Titus sardines on the side too :)
I heard a nutritionist once say "The best diet is the one that you can see yourself following for the rest of your life" and bruh the way that hit me. Like, I can't give up pizza, lord knows it, but I can limit it to every second saturday. That sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I like sugary coffee but only one cup before 12 also sounds perfectly reasonable to me. The way to eat healthier is maybe to just, you know, eat healthier.
That's an incredible teaching

“Why I season my stone club and not my mammoth steak”
Honestly, i'm a full-blown keto nerd/advocate, but this video is 100% spot on.
Most people just cannot stick to a 60/35/5 ratio of fat/protein/carbs (at 1600 daily cals, that's only 20g carbs per day. that's difficult unless you obsess over it). It's pretty hard to eat that way long-term if you don't have a taste for it. But I've found that, for my specific body, if I *do* stick to that macro ratio, I shred weight like nobody's business.
All of that being said, I've never actually consulted with a physician about any of this. My dad *was* a very rotund man (5'7 and pushing 250lbs) and doctors told him to switch to full-time low-carb. And it worked wonders for him. He got to 150lbs in like 18 months and he's still trucking. Luckily i'm made of half his genetics so it works for me as well lol. And to add another caveat, I only do strict keto when i'm trying to cut weight. If i'm just maintaining or if i don't care, then i'll eat moderate carbs but I always make sure they're "complex" and coming from something like whole grains or beans or actual vegetables
Yeah, I’m doing keto, but I literally sat down with a spreadsheet to figure out my food to get my macros. It makes being social hard, but it was great during Covid. To hit point, though, I’m down quite a lot but I keep gaining and losing the same 15 lbs every time holiday season rolls around
Nonsense. As long as you actually try there are tons of keto friendly options out there.
And if you are a normal person you can take refeed-breakes no and then if you absolutely feel that you have to. But most people don't since all your cravings disappear after a while.
1600 daily cals? isn't that like way below what's healthy for an adult?
@@sevencats4964 Depends on which adult, how active they are, and what their goals are. Its in the ballpark of what my trainer recommends for me, but I’m also an average sized, middle aged woman trying to lose weight.
@@mrcase77 huh i see
I think maybe the notion that raw food = healthier and more natural in some people's heads might come from the fact that they associate "cooked" with fried and/or otherwise processed. I never went on a specific diet but I had this episode when I felt like a big portion of what I was cooking was just things thrown into hot oil in a pan, not to mention what I was eating outside home. But the key to solving that is, more likely than cutting out all "heat processed" foods, simply making yourself aware of that fact and eating more things like broths, stews or oven baked foods and limiting the pre-packaged processed junk. After all, with today's non stick pans it's very possible to get your food golden and crispy with minimum grease
There's also air frying nowadays, which I find very useful.
Yeah I hope you like crazy chemicals in your food

I did try a keto diet a couple of years ago, i eventually stopped due to not being able to deal with the restrictions, but honestly? I felt amazing during that time. My body just doesnt really like those short chain carbs like sugars and starches,they make me feel like crap- Still i've been eating like that forever now.
I had something similar. I’ve tried eating only nuts and berries before noon and cut out vegetable oil and processed sugars and I’ve felt far more energetic and gained muscle mass passively as a result
Same boat over here, did keto and felt great. What put me off was the dread of having to stick to heavy restrictions for all my life- food is intrinsically social
Keto and paleo food/recipes taste like absolute SHIT. Glad my parents stopped feeding us that as kids.
@@XSlimSxadyX How can you fuck up food on keto diet? cooking steak, eggs or burgers isn't rocket science.
@@mlm_academyofficial2041 it’s the recipes really they all just taste like crap especially to a small child 😭
Here's a part of this that nobody talks about. What if you're on one of these diets for a couple years, and you find yourself in a situation where you can't follow it anymore? Like, you can no longer afford fresh vegetables, or meat in the case of keto diets. All of a sudden, your body has to get used to everything being processed and canned. It happens to people all the time.
That's one of my concern, we live in an "evil" time, when the good stuff could be scarce in a blink of an eye. I do think this variety diet stuff is good (except vegan, dont ask me why) but could be difficult to most people. So my main advice to normal people (not in special condition or sick) just live a balance lifestyle not too much and not too little, eat what available and exercise. And stay away from any type of added sugar if possible or moderation
@@alfiand9269 Simply grow your own food to supplement your diet, go to farmers markets, etc. Scarcity will only happen if plants somehow stop seeding and water becomes scarce in which case there's bigger problems.
@@sirllamaiii9708I have to say that “growing your own food” is not a reliable method for a consistent food source unless you are a farmer, and should stay only as a hobby, because to grown your own food to satisfy all your needs, you need a considerable parcel of land, plants take months to give results and its very easy for something to happen (plant dies because insects, fungi, animal destroys it, etc.) that destroys the plant.
So I should live off canned and processed foods in preparation of healthy food suddenly becoming unavailable?

carbs almost always is directly related to belly fat. almost always. actual fat doesn't relate directly. even though our body produces glucose from fat, protein and carbs.. still it takes more energy to produce it form fat and proteins than carbs. This is why high carb diets I believe makes people fat more easily. Your body skips a whole level of producing glucose through gluconeogenesis. Basically you are making your body lazier and hence more fat through eating more carbohydrates. That's why keto works so well not only for us noobs in the diet spectrum but also for world athletes in body building/etc. They actually starve their bodies while performing.. from even water so their striations in their muscles pop out more. It's unhealthy. But not unhealthy to do keto for a week lets say at a time. It's called carb cycling and it's the healthiest option out there in terms of losing weight. In the end enjoy a balanced moderate low carb diet and you will be happy for life guaranteed.
I had a cousin on keto demand (and get by another family member just to shut her whining up) a trip to the store for a new Caesar salad with no croutons. I'd brought one as my dinner contribution and she refused to pick out the croutons as the crouton dust touched the romaine🤦♀️ Last time I brought anything for dinner.
It is like a religion, irrational.
@@pavel9652no, that's just a normal fanatic, just like some gym goers (especially new) do EXACTLY 60 seconds break, 1 second later or early and they "got their set ruined"
There’s actually a rational biological consequence to eating the croutons when you’re on keto. When someone deprives themselves of carbs, your body switches from using glucose as fuel to fatty acids and then to ketones (this is the state of being in “ketosis”). Glucose and ketones have an inverse relationship, so if your cousin ate carbs (croutons), her body would shift from using ketones to suddenly needing to use glucose (ketones and glucose roughly shouldn’t exist at the same time, it’s one or the other). It makes you feel awful for the next day, and takes another week for your body to clear out all the glucose and start producing ketones again, so depending on how many carbs she already had that day, eating some croutons could’ve knocked her out of ketosis and taken another week to re-enter it which probably isn’t worth it.
@@DoINeedAHandle op says the cousin was opposed to picking out the croutons as the crouton dust could still be in the salad.
There are probably more carbs in the vegetables in the salad than in any crouton dust that might be left behind
My dog is evolving, I buy him a pack hot dogs and he prefers them cooked now. I used to give him a little of both, but now if I give him a raw one he won't eat it. So I cook it and my sister started putting a piece of cheese on it and now he wants that as well. My neighbor has a dog like that as well he gives him chicken nuggets but won't take it till you dip it in the sauce.
Soon enough he will demand a full course
Soon he's going to demand artisan cured meats.
All hotdogs come precooked you can eat them straight out of the package. Cooking them does not change them you are only browning them.
Hot dogs are terrible for people and dogs.
Dogs actually evolved like that. People no longer believe humans even tamed them on purpose, but rather that they broke off from wolves by themselves as some wolves noticed it was easier to just follow humans around and eat all the scraps they left behind instead of using time and energy hunting. Over time these wolves became socially separate from the wild wolves (current research points to this happening about 130 000 years ago), and started living closer and closer to the humans they were following, until eventually, some time around 40 000 years ago, dogs were actually living _in_ human communities, and it's safe to assume that humans have probably been feeding them cooked meat all along.

Keto may not be necessary nor particularly achievable, but I definitely benefited from going low carb/ high fat in an attempt at keto. I lost all the aches and pains in my joints within about 3 weeks. The reason it wasn't sustainable for me is that I also lost 15 pounds in about 2 months, which at a starting BMI of 19, I could not afford to lose. It could definitely be good for someone trying to lose weight to simply aim for Keto, even if they just achieve low carb/high fat.
Keto doesn't necessarily mean weight loss. You can eat keto and still gain weight, as long as your caloric intake is greater than what you use.
What you probably noted as weight loss was actually your body retaining less water, as keto is a more diuretic diet, and water lost due to the decrease of inflammation. It is a quite common effect in keto, but only when you start, so after a while your weight would have stabilized.
If you ever try it again, try to accompany the diet with a bioimpedance balance, that can measure the amount of water, muscle, and fat on your body.
This is what I noticed. I did a keto diet and lost stupid amounts of weight, although I don't know if I was necessarily on the ratios. When I went to argue with someone about my results, which came with me fasting all day and absolutely stuffing my face every night, I actually sat down to do the calories and it turns out I was only getting about 1,000 calories a day (1600 to 2000 maintains my weight).
My opinion has shifted. I think Keto is a little pseudosciency, and the results that people see just comes from cutting down, processed foods, excess carbs, and a lot of calories.
@@CLove511 Keto does not makes one lose weight, what makes one lose weight is reducing the caloric intake. You can be on keto and still maintain or even gain weight.
What keto does is making easier for the body to access fat storage, reduce insulin spikes, and feel more easily satisfied so you don't want to binge eat.
Keto is not pseudoscience, there are great scientific papers about keto diet, and it helps a lot of people get a healthier diet and even reverse diabetes.
There is a bit of fanboyism to it, but to be fair there is fanboyism about everything (phones, politics, sports, car brands), so a bit of fanboyism for something that actually improves the diet of people is not something we can criticize much.
@@MarcusBuer I really feel that not binge-eating. Been 2 weeks in with careful lower than 30g carb intake, and I can now easily eat only once or twice per day with normal or even less portion. Feel way better and less bloated

I've always found paleo (the worldview, not necessarily the foods people eat on the diet) ridiculous because a) it imposes a single, global diet on human ancestors who lived in vastly different climates without global supply chains, and b) it assumes that our bodies haven't evolved over millennia.
And also... these ancestral humans ate what was available to them, which wasn't necessarily perfect for their health. Ancient human remains with signs of atherosclerosis, often wrongly assumed to be a disease of the modern lifestyle, have been found in many places.
The fact that some diet was good enough for our ancestors as an alternative to starving to death doesn't mean it's the ideal diet for us.
Yeah they also lived pretty hard and fast lives back then. Having a level of constant, grueling, physical activity that many today would probably struggle to commit to equaling. And often dying far younger (life expectancy was perhaps 35-40 or even lower, though that average is somewhat skewed by really high infant/child mortality - still, being in your 50s and maybe even your 40s would have been considered "old age").

The point about some diets being good because they limit your intake of fast food reminded me of the origins of homeopathy. It was a complete health plan where you stopped doing a lot of unhealthy stuff and started doing a lot of healthy stuff (including drinking a lot of water and dropping alcohol in times where drinking clean water wasn't as easy as it is now). So of course it had a lot of positive results. People nowadays sell only the "dilluted poison" part of the diet, which unfortunately is by far the less useful part.

Bro why are you keto ppl like this. Its pseudoscience, give it up
I would like to share my personal experience with keto, I tried to do it at the start of the [what was current world event] and actually did fine for a couple of months, but I generally live with family and got tired of having to not eat some of the things they made, granted I also knew how raw unhealthy some were, like pancakes and syrup, yes tasty, but so much carbs and sugar. Regardless I just got tired of trying, then one year passes, and I want to try it again, but realize I need to do a lot of research to actually convince some family members, that yes this is good for me, and yes we should have vegetables in the house. Then, a while later I get a standard health check-up, the one where they weigh you, and I was like 430 pounds if memory serves, it was not a place I wanted to be, over 400 is just kind of the limit for anyone rational, and I knew a diet I had researched quite a bit about, deeming that yes keto would do the job for me, and after some mess of 6 months, I did in fact lose 100 lbs in 6 months, and I was doing a very scuffed version admittedly, it could have been way better, but regardless, I did it, and still am on it, as it works for my body, and will continue to do so, to reach even lower numbers. Heres to the future.

Worked for me. I sorta follow the Keto thing but only in the last 3 years. I lost 75lbs over 10-12 years. Eating /cooking at home.

I follow accidentally a paleo diet. I am intolerant to many grains (cereals, maize) and some legumes (particullary soy). Also, I have fatty liver, so I try not to eat sugar, fruit, honey or alcohol. Also, I dont eat vegetable oils (I am from Spain and here is considered disgusting, we used olive oil or pork fat, despite restaurants and industrial companies use it, like sunflower, corn, soy or canola). Sometimes I eat potatoes.
Therefore, the only non "paleo" food I eat is milk (which I am not intolerant to surprisingly). I even dont eat vegetables or fruits because it feels so hard to digest for me. I have several gut issues.
I had been following this plan for three years (since I was 26) and I am so good, but is introducing vegetables, grains, fruit, alcohol, legumes or sugar in my diet and then I die of gut issues. The only thing that works for me is meat, organs, blood, eggs, dairy products, fish, olive oil and maybe some spices or chocolate.
As someone who did a keto diet and validated it with blood strips tests, it wasn't particularly difficult to stay on ketosis. If I ate plenty of fats, I can eat up to 50g of net carbs and still be in ketosis mode. 50g is a decent amount. A burger with buns has about 35 net carbs.
The trick was to eat plenty of fats. You don't need to be OCD to stay on keto. You just have to plan several meals you love that are low carbs. For me, that was stir fry meats with veggies, hot pot, both with lots of pork/beef belly meat. They were delicious and I didn't feel like I was missing out from the lack of carbs.
For your assertion that the only scientific benefit of keto is seizure control in children, there are many known benefits for mood and energy. Check out the book Brain Energy by Chris Palmer, a Harvard psychiatrist

As a Ghanaian, I think that Dr. Ham is going slightly too far by saying "food in Ghana is considered to be cooked." She correctly notes that Ghanaian meals are cooked, but to use a syllogism: while all meals are food, not all food is a meal.
It's common in Ghana to eat fruit raw. Fruit on its own isn't considered a meal, but we do commonly eat mangos, avocados, bananas, pineapples, etc, without cooking.
To my mind, most cultures around the world eat raw fruit when it is available. Which makes sense, since compared to vegetables they have relatively more simple carbs and fewer complex carbs, so a lot of their stored energy is available prior to any type of processing.
I don't want to be nitpicky with this comment, as Dr. Ham is pretty close to being right. A lot of the Ghanaian diet is stews, soups, and cooked starches legumes and vegetables. Especially compared to the diet of someone in, say, California, we cook our ingredients a lot more often. But we do enjoy raw fruit as well. : )

I’m already very thin, but I want to eat better to feel better. Sugary and oily foods (canola and other seed oils) make me feel good at first but make me feel sick later, so I’ve been eating less of those and listening to my body. I also eat less highly processed foods. Notice I say less, and not completely cut it out. (I love my Tillamook ice cream on occasion) I don’t follow a specific diet because it feels too restricting. I have ended up eating more food in quantity because I’m already skinny and need the extra calories from low calorie food. Foods like chips and soda are gross to me now. It’s crazy how much your taste changes when you eat better. I ate a taco bell taco because a friend had brought them for a picnic and it tasted so oily and gross.
I remember seeing a video who's title was something along the lines of, "Adam Ragusea's WRONG ideas of Raw & Paleo." I clicked it looking to see some counter arguments for one of my favorite UA-camrs. Instead, it was basically a guy playing Adam's video, pausing every so often to say, "Adam is 100% wrong about this!" then never explaining, following up, or citing sources.

Everyone in my household wanted to lose weight and we decided to just go for it together on New Years so we can all eat the same meals and no special shopping or tempting things, we tossed around the idea of keto, among other things, but looking it up so many advocates made it all seem so complicated and extreme. But ultimately just settled for getting rid of the processed frozen foods, take-out, and refined carbs & sugar- no bread, pasta, white rice, pancakes, etc. and no sodas or juices except some crystal lite with dinner. We'd still eat fruit, yogurt & cottage cheese (homemade, no added sugar), oatmeal, legumes, nuts, seeds, and lots of veggies so we got plenty of nutrition and healthier carbs. We didn't restrict meat, not in portion or in type, or fats, but honestly without all the refined carbs & sugars we didn't eat as much of them; seems putting stuff on bread, rice, pasta just causes you to eat more of it overall, IDK why.
Long story short, we have all lost weight, one person lost 16 lbs. Last weekend we had a birthday party so we had our old carby foods and cake, but after we finished them a few days later we all just wanted to go back to keeping the white flour/refined/overprocessed/sugary foods out of the house. It's nice for a holiday or treat occasionally but we all just feel better overall without it every day. I think the best "diets" are not to think of them as temporary but as a permanent lifestyle you can manage.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with bread, pasta, pancakes, etc. What matters is CALORIES.
@@cindy85 non-refined carbs are complex carbs-- they are hard for your body to break down and therefore, don't spike your insulin as high as refined carbs do since they are simple and quickly spike your blood sugar. Complex carbs have a lower gi compared to simple ones and examples are; oatmeal, whole wheat bread-- better with no added sugars, brown rice, beans/legumes, sweet potatoes, etc
Japchae is pasta made out of sweet potato and it's pretty healthy. I eat it because I can't have processed wheat or rice. Go to your Asian market and try some? Tastes like rice vermicelli but it's not going to immediately spike your glucose levels.
Not all breads are equal, and you can make homemade alternatives out of things like chickpea flour or other alternatives. Even just making sure you go for ancient grain or whole grain makes a massive difference.

Low carb diets remove the addictive component from food, which makes it easier to produce a deficit or stop compulsive eating for pleasure
This is interesting. Especially seing this like 6 months after I took almost 6-9 month of keto like diet to lose weight. I went to doctor, who weighted me, and I found myself to be 110kg. Given my size and corpulence, a more healthy weight would have been 90kg. But this triggered something in my brain "it's time to stop". Especially since I had back pains due to chronic disease.
So I thinked that I really loved to much eating stuff (especially sweetened ones... come on chocolate cake, i'd not kill for you, but ALMOST)... I saw my wife take a keto diet and lose much weight, so I told myself that I should do it too. But I know this would be REALLY hard especially that when I'm down (which happens to everyone, but happened quite a lot to me) I really like eating some sweet stuff. This is not really healthy, but it really helps me at the end of the day to get myself a treat. It's like saying "your day is over, you did your best, here is your reward". And let's just say that even if I sticked to "only on the evening", some days, I had to be doing this earlier... The fuckening you know.
Thus I knew that I could not stick to keto properly if I was not replacing theses treats by something else. Thus I did not start the diet right after. I kept eating the same, AND trying to find meals and "sweet things" that I could eat on the evening, good enought to reward myself, but not enought to break the diet. I has also the habit of drinking juice with nutella toast on the morning since I was like 6 ? Thus I needed to replace that too. I started trying keto pancakes but I found soon that it was meh... Thus after some time i'd swap back. And one day I found a good thing that I could eat both on the morning and on the evening.
Then I though that I could not make the swap brutally or i'd fail too. Especially, it was on the point I could not drink water before getting my juice. Thus I started to move slowly : one day water. Then juice again until I could reach 1/2 juice, 1/2 water. From there it was easy to stop juice. I just started to stop buying, and I had no choice.
I think the main reasons why almost all diet are so hard to stick is that people want do it brutally, then go back to old habits. Changing habits is REALLY hard. I think, even though that means you still get weight a bit, it's better, and easier to keep doing the old stuff, while trying to find "new healthy things" that we like, and then slightly swap to the diet. It's way easier to stick then, especially when the results kick in, and you're not on so "hard time" because of the diet, because you have a bad day, or because you're hungry.
If I have one other advice to say to people : don't go buy groceries when you're hungry. It will help too.
I think the easiest way to deal with that is to just allow the unhealthy foods you want, but in small amounts, and eat much more of the healthy foods you should be eating (not to the point of gluttony). And also listen to your body and do what makes you actually feel well for the whole day, not just during meals (not all diets are fit for everyone). Although if introducing new foods its worth a try to simply start gradually and eat small amounts but every day of that in the beginning since the body needs time to build the right gut bacteria (sometimes it just wont work because you have an actual food tolerance, like people with celiaki wont get used to eating gluten)

You know you’re living the high life if you can use your garden hose water for cooking.
When I was a kid we would drink straight from the spigot/hose :)
99.9% of Americans can drink water right out of the garden hose. With the exception of shit holes like Flint Michigan, every city has water that pass regulations..
@@WilliamWBG maybe don’t call a city that fell victim to a corrupt government a “shithole.” You sound like a specific someone who is pretty widely (and rightfully) hated.
@@WilliamWBG also, flint has had clean water since 2019. Source: drinking it.
@@Hannah-zw9ow don’t be so sensitive about living in a city that was once deemed a shit hole. Shit cities come and go according to their leadership, and you will have to agree that Flint had some previous shitty and corrupt leadership. Especially when it came to water. Plus my comment was directed to those cities where you could safely drink out of the garden hose. Would you drink out of the garden hose in Flint Michigan knowing what you know now? Most of us would NOT! Thus the shit hole city categorization. Sorry I offended your sensitivity
I only watched this video because of the keto aspect. I personally, think the keto diet is one of the best "Diets" out there, and isn't a fad... if you know what you are doing that is. You are very correct in the fact that it is very hard to do properly, and maintain. Most people don't even know how ketosis affects electrolyte imbalance, and makes you lose all excess water if you are doing it right. It makes it easy to get dehydrated. They also don't understand the concept of micronutrient management. But if people actually do their research, ketogenic diet is super beneficial if you have conditions like insulin resistance and are overweight. It is a hellava lot easier as a fat person, to transition to, than learning to work out 3 times a week plus cardio. Keto, also decreases your appetite by a ton. If anyone decides to give it a go, I very much recommend meal prep first and foremost. For supplements, take potassium citrate and magnesium citrate to help with electrolytes. As well as berberine, to aide in the transition. Learn about MCT oil, and why it's the best thing ever. Get organic meat, oil, butter and eggs. All vegetables should be green. 90% of your carbs will come from dairy, but you have to know what is good and what isn't. Be very careful with milk. You can eat things like tomatoes, but use a calorie/carb counter. It really is about the obsessive impulsive management in making it work. It becomes your entire focus. There is also the cyclitic keto diet which you can also look into. Where you eat carbs once every 7 days. (just make sure they are healthy).
Dude really dropped the best looking cavemen stew just to never show how it's made
It took me 30 years, 2 intestinal resections, and years of pure hell to realize, *I HAVE TO EAT COOKED FOODS !!!* Thank you for verifying my GUT instinct.
It's amazing when you think about it. We developed the brain power to master fire and the rest of our organs evolved in tandem.
yeah you never ate raw animal products. "raw foodism" is dumb, primal diet is the best
Wait, could you please tell more?!? Were you a raw plant based?? Please, tell in more detail. Going through some turmoil for the last 5 years, had to go raw vegan because of the illness, but you can't survive and not be malnourished on this diet...
Why cooked?
@@toxictwig1 uncooked plant fibers can be difficult for the body to break down and digest. Sure, cooking will eliminate some nutrients, but it makes plant foods a lot easier to digest and actually allows you to access more nutrients. People who eat really healthy but still experience stomach issues should consider trying only cooked veg for a period of time. In general, I eat fruits raw and vegetables cooked.
I'm a general practice P.A. here in the U.S., and when the topic of weight loss or food choices comes up, the first thing I tell my patients is that even the "nutrition experts" can't agree on what's actually right. I tell them to look for the things that are in common among several of the more successful dietary models, and that always brings us to getting rid of sweet beverages, greatly reducing or eliminating stuff that we all intuitively recognize as "junk foods", dropping the starchy side dish off your dinner plate most of the time (or keeping the portion size no bigger than an egg), avoiding sweet stuff in general, eating a bigger variety of veggies and greens than you have been, drinking more water than you have been, trying to get more deliberate sleep time in bed than you have been, and adding some form of deliberate exercise to your weekly routine (doesn't matter what it is, as long as it gets you a little out of breath and sweating for a good 20-30min or more, and is just for the health of it, SEPARATE from your normal daily activity). It's real easy to overthink things.
"Veggies good, sugar bad" is pretty much the monolithic consensus across time, space, and different nutritional models.
Thank you
Same can be said on 90% of medical procedures. There is no consensus on any subject.
@@BarisTitanX what the fuck are you talking about
Part of the issue is we are individuals, that is why one diet may not work over another. But yes I agree that a variety of plants in anyone's diet is healthy and good.
The sugar part is difficult because it is literally almost everywhere especially processed foods and drinks especially. I would resort to unsweetened tea and coffee in the morning, then just sweeten it with a little cane sugar or honey in your tea if you can tolerate it. I personally use monk fruit because I need to lose weight and that works well.
If you buy any drinks at the store make sure they are unsweetened, it is not uncommon for an 8 oz tea to have 20 grams of sugar for example. The daily recommended value for men is 30 grams and for women 25 grams. Another issue I've ran into is my bodies ability to convert wheat, even whole wheat and rice into glucose very quickly causing insulin resistance over time. I've since developed a gluten intolerance for whatever reason(pesticides, synthetic vitamins etc) and I've been able to have rice once a week without issue. Anything more though and I start to gain weight and I have bad food cravings breaking my carefully disciplined week.
I’ve always felt best and happiest on keto. I only slipped out because of vacation and plain stupidity. Gained 35 lbs in 3 months, felt horrible. Going back now and already feeling stronger and more energetic - the levels of energy were the worst when eating carbs.
Pretty good video. Though I think the keto diet plan is a little weird. I know people who have tried it and that you should keep below 20g of carbs but you don't need to have such a strange eating plan. You can also combine it with intermittent fasting for better results which means you can eat more sensible portions in 1-2 meals. Personally I find adding cream to coffee is a great way to increase fats for the day or use more cooking oils or healthy meats. I am trying a keto diet myself starting next week.
As someone from the UK, it was shocking to me just how many foods in the US had additional sugar crammed into their list of ingredients.
Bread was noticeably sweeter. High fructose corn syrup seems like a standard additive in many processed foods.
And very sugary drinks are consumed by grown adults as a sort of regular staple!
I think there's something about the output of the US food industry which is especially lipogenic. So any diet, fad or otherwise, which results in people eating significantly less sugar is going to be a good thing.
There's like one, maybe two bakeries in my town that make european style bread.
Even the chocolate in the states is different and has more sugar added.
I'm on the keto lifestyle and never felt better in my life.
I do indulge on some occasions, but I just can't go back to a regular diet.
No one from the UK should EVER complain about food from another country. You people eat boiled eels and blood pudding for goodness sake!
@@LG123ABC saying that as if other countries around the world don't cook with eels or blood/innards lol.
If you every consider keto. There’s a way to make pizza that doesn’t use bread.
@@LG123ABC Atleast boiled jellied eels and blood pudding is healthy.
I prefer the wallet diet.
If my wallet's empty, I'm not buying that expensive "organic" "paleo" "Atkins-approved" food
Meanwhile, Mr Atkins mumbles "I did not approve of this" while shaking in his grave.
Atkins died sick and obese :)
@V K some years before I saw his pictures and some reports on him in his last days, on internet. They still might be there.
@V K "Well my grandma knew Dr Atkins!" Has to be one of the funniest attempts at a flex I've ever seen on the internet. 😅 Thank you so much for that.
*long slow clap* when I actually buy fruits, veg, proteins, and the cheapest olive oil i can find there is nooooothing in the budget for crap lmao. Like i am not fucking paying an entire $5 for 400 calories.
Hello Adam! I am very fond of your videos and watch many of them with great pleasure. I appreciate greatly that you go through the trouble of researching the science behind them. This time, however, while I agree with some of the points you make in the video, a small mention of the benefits of low-carb nutrition would have made your entire point more nuanced. For people with insulin-dependent diabetes, for example, be it type 1 or 2 but especially type 2, adhering to a low-carb diet may improve their situation greatly (similarly to the calorie in - calorie out priciple, you could also argue there is a carbs in - insulin needed principle). By reducing the total amount of carbs, we also reduce the amount of insulin needed, and since insulin stores sugar, we also reduce the total amount of sugar stored in the body. A low carb diet works for lots of diabetics. If you are interested in knowing more about the topic, my boss and a colleague of mine are researching this topic intensely (I am merely repeating the inexact gist of what I have heard from them) and I could ask them for more exact references on this topic (they are both clinical nephrologists involved in research). Please keep up your good work!
Not to mention that that one guy was simply wrong when he said keto diets are only used in medicine for epilepsy in children, when they are also a possible treatment of type 2 diabetes.
My favourite line, it's not the diet you're on, it's the calories you consume.
Wanna lose weight, eat less calories
The thought of the professor hiding while eating a salad was funny and sad at the same time
My sister went to Kenya last year and she had a similar experience

Hang on a moment - if coffee isn't allowed in this daft system, then neither, I presume, is tea, and, as an Englishman, that is unconscionable.
i know you can have coffee and tea on keto just not sweet.
@@meowthchu7307 Yea coffee is pretty pretty essential even to many of the keto plans. Mind you its absolutely horrifying coffee that they've just melted butter or coconut fat into.
@@FormerRuling tbh true but ngl i don't really like coffee too much because it's bitter, tea on the other hand is fine.
You can have tea and coffee, but you must use a substitute for sugar. Also on a strict version you want to make artificial sweeteners and diet soda an occasional treat but not that many people follow it that strictly.
@@kfcnyancat
You can have sugar. Just keep it under 20g net carbs
