My grandmother just passed in October at the age of 109.5. She had a very basic lifestyle. A “basic lifestyle” meaning there was never an excess of anything and what stood out to me growing up next door to her was an incredibly balanced life and an incredible acceptance of life on all levels. I call that Grace, which I strive for in my own life but realize now it was definitely her greatest strength. They owned a neighborhood hardware store when I was growing up where she and my grandfather worked 6 days a week and felt as though their purpose was to help all the neighbors with what ever it was they were trying to do. Their staff had the same purpose and it was so fun to hang out at the store and help people find the paint section or my favorite, the key making machine. Lol! The biggest thing was with all they had to take care of and do they NEVER ate out. My grandmother served my grandfather and many times all of us too, wonderful meals made with lard and butter. Thank goodness she didn’t serve us Crisco which was so popular in the 80”s. Anyhooo, we miss her tons and she lived a wonderful life with full faculties to the end, dying of natural causes, which you never hear anyone report these days.❤ Lifestyle is medicine without taking medicine!❤. Great segment, thank you!
The detail about lard and butter only, not Crisco is helpful! Beautiful life story. I'll bet she kept busy, too. I use extra virgin olive oil in baked goods.Thanks!!
Been following Mark Sisson for 15+ years and it’s always cool to see him engaged in a different environment. Thanks for having him and sharing your conversation!
I’m 62 and lost 150lbs on Keto, Carnivore, IF, & OMAD. I recently introduced Sweet Potatoes into my diet, and I do not gain weight from it, nor does it spike my sugars.
If you are metabolically healthy, and give your body sufficient rest between meals, you shouldn't gain weight from sweet potatoes. Once I get down to my current goal weight, I will play around with some things like that.
Yes.....probably because you have made a conscious effort also to lower your foods with omega 6 oils this HELPS you become more insulin sensitive again and waaa laaaa.....you now can eat a natural food like sweet potatoes again
@Tony T because people like these guys have a public platform, and they have a lot of people eager to find fault, criticize them, look for contradictions, etc. They're under a lot of pressure to stay consistent with what they say. I think it takes quite a bit of bravery and humility to publicly admit it when you were wrong about something.
@Ginger Cat haha that is a very interesting insight. I'm not sure if it's true across the board but it may be true in some cases. Thanks for bringing it up.
I worked in a pretty average restaurant in Brazil, and this interview shocked me. We always used the ingredients listed, and by law anyone that wants to see the kitchen, can. So when any customers had suspicions, we would just show on the spot. The oil was changed every day(or two on the low movement days).
In January 2022, I was 60 and I started doing keto, IF and OMAD. I did/do eat a “big ass” multi-veg salad everyday with a home-made olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Himalayan sea salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion, cumin dressing. I eat 16 oz of protein primarily from sardines, herring, grass fed beef, pork and organic eggs. I also walked/walk 8 miles every other day. RESULTS by 10/31/2022, lost 50 lbs, got off 7 long-term medications and had the best blood tests readings ever.
My 83 yr. old mother always eats the same routine every day and is in perfect health. This includes eggs and yogurt for breakfast (cereal once per week)....a big salad with bell peppers and protein for lunch.....meats and hot veggies at supper....and dessert only on Sunday. Shes happy and healthy.
She has unlocked the key to health! Keto + veggies w/limited processed grains/starches/cereals. Keto's main weakness is microbiome biodiversity and I think a broad array of plant fiber has to be the centerpiece of any diet. Then we can start adding in eggs, grassfed meats, wild caught fish which keto excels at. And of course 90% processed food free, ideally 100%. For the plant fiber part I employ dr.fuhrmans g-bombs acronym and then rotate meats in here and there.
Life. And health not all about food alone. Our mind drives our health 95% . Remaining 5% is our karma !!! These days people have done so much research on food and types of food alone. Obsessed. We need to take into account life style, how balanced is their physical work and mental work, attitude towards life around.. how much they are in nature … everything contributes to well being. I met a painter who only paints homes for a living, he said he never went to a doctor in the past 72 years of his life. Always inhaling the toxic fumes from new paints and homes. He ate onky cheap donuts/buns and coffee for breakfast, normal burgers for lunch bought from outside where ever and some meat/ veggies for dinner… no exotic , organic high quality food/ supplements the we are researching on. Also met an old woman who consumed onky normal milk in the morning and one simple lunch of lentils and buttermilk with rice and some veggies once a day for her lunch and no dinner . This is what she ate all her life. No change in her type of lentil whatsoever. Same thing almost for food everyday. One 106 year old grandpa on the streets I met ate only plain bun and tea for breakfast, some junk road side sandwiche for lunch and dinner is occasional. He walks so fast at rocket speed to wherever he goes. At 106th year of his life. I feel we lost our ability to see life from a higher perspective. Lost even common sense. Instead pigeon hole every thing into just food food and food.. Where do these healthy old people get all their different types of vitamins and trace minerals ????????????????
@@suzannecarrier287 see… your mom and grandma are living proof of having good health and mental well-being as a side effect of having the right attitude towards life.
I have tried to find a salad dressing without soy bean oil and absolutely none of the dressings at my local supermarket are without this ingredient. Making a dressing every evening in addition to cooking a meal is not what everyone will do. I suggest taking an empty dressing bottle and filling it with a healthy dressing, like: Olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, pressed garlic, mustard and also adding some herbs like, Himalayan salt, black pepper, & basil.
Took the words right out of my mouth. It's so easy to make your own dressing..... and then you can use it for weeks. Only thing you have to remember is to 2:1 or 3:1 oil to vinegar. From there you can literally use any seasoning you want.
Alternatively you don't actually have to make a dressing in a bottle or cup....you can just toss the olive oil and vinegar and salt and pepper right on the salad or vegetable.
Not a critique, per se, just a thought. Being able to choose one’s “ideal diet” always has been and always will be a luxurious problem to have. Im grateful!!!
There is a truth to this and yet if we were aligned with Nature and respected Nature the way our ancestors did, and the way Native people do, the quality of all our food would be what the creator intended and full of nutrients and life force.
True, some people have no choice but to eat junk food. I don't live un the US, when I go as a tourist I have noticed that junk food es even cheaper than in my country, but quality food (the good stuff) is a lot more expensive, you have to be privileged to eat well in the USA.
This was a very good and interesting conversation. One thing I want to add that dictates how I eat these days at 70. My cravings for a certain type of food doesn't matter so much anymore. It's actually what my stomach will allow me to eat these days, Lol. I love spicy foods, pizza, TexMex and a lot of times they sound great, but No! Can't. I used to could eat anyting, but it's amazing what food can do to your body when you're older!
Might just be the lifelong accumulation of oxalates. See Sally Norton. I'm 69 and working on gradually clearing oxalates, and miraculously, now i can suddenly eat bananas again without farting up a cyclone of greenhouse gases. And alliums. And mushrooms ... Though due to the ongoing process this fluctuates a bit.
Try Kosher adjustment to your favorite home made recepies. It does miracles. You will have so much energy, you will feel 15 yrs younger, & no upset stomachs at all whatsoever. You will feel like you've been taking all your vitamins even when you forget to, or haven't in a while. The keto paleo seems nice too 👍
@@Loohan7 , Aloe vera juice 🥤🧃 with your favorite fruit 🍓🍑 juice, with some daily senakot, or sennosides vitamins, should fix all your stomach issues, I alternate them with either orange 🍊 juice, cranberry juice, or prune juice.
I’m thinking now about getting a small liquid-tight container that I can put a single serving of salad dressing into and take with me. That gives me the option of which salad dressing to use.
I mean. I agree with a lot of this but I don’t worry about it too much. Just cook healthy at home and have fun when you go out. We work all week, id go crazy to not be able to go out and not worry about it. Nonetheless I’m glad to see these conversations happening. I wish more places would fry in beef tallow.
Yeah same here but I suppose it matters with lifestyle, some people eat at restaurants way too frequently and then it would matter a lot more but if it's once or maybe twice a week then cooking healthy at home would likely offset the negatives.
Agreed. All meals homemade with high quality ingredients, exercise regulalry, drink quality, uncontaminated water, get good sleep regularly, and going out to eat fir one meal, once or even twice a week will have little to no effect on your overall health. The problem is some people have an all or nothing mentality, so they turn one meal out as a "might as well eat like crap for the rest of the day!"
@Bully Maguire so true, it's amazing that for some reason with our diets we break it and then we're like f it 😑 It's the equivalent of getting a flat and then going f it, I might as well slash all 4 😂
I had heard on this channel that seed oils are bad. As a result, I read the labels on the dressings to select something without seed oil a few days ago. While watching this, I'm unknowingly sitting here eating a salad with Primal Ktichen Green Goddess dressing. Kind of a trip that is Mark's company. Tasty too!
What a sign of the times we are living in when we pay very high prices to eat in even a bad restaurant! They are so greedy they can’t even provide customers with quality healthy products. People are getting educated thanks to you and we’re not going out as much to eat. When I do eat out I have to bring my own containers of basics like sweeteners and olive oil.
Super fascinating discussion! Interestingly, to both of your points about microbiome and where it came from, the Zoe podcast spoke to the scientists that studied the mummified remains that were famously found up on the Italian alps (amongst other ancient remains as well), and I think both Mark and Thomas will find the discovery pretty fascinating, including a) the fact that they found evidence of a toxic fern in his system (why? Medicinal?), and also b) his microbiome was profoundly far more diverse than our own. Theories include that, just like with the current state of the plant and animal kingdom, has there been a series of "extinctions" taking place in the microbial world as well? Anyway, as always - gosh, I love this channel and the content! Thanks so much!
Yes you can ask for salad dressing on the side so they never put it on your salad. Eating a small amount of anything is fine even if its not olive oil - but not drenched in other not-so-healthy oils. Best thing is to cook your own food... I love cooking so for me it's not an issue :D Cooking your own food often leads to less calories, healthier food and you save a lot of moolah too.
We were at outback the other day and I was just gonna have a steak but of course when they bring the bread and butter thoughts passed through the head. But I asked what was in the whipped butter. Because I thought hey, I can eat butter, And maybe I can treat myself to a little bit of bread. The server did not know, so she got a manager who told me that it was whipped butter, milk and canola oil or some such combination. It was a lot easier to pass on the bread after that. Bread is supposed to be a conveyor of butter. And they weren’t serving butter.
Remember folks Linoleic/Linolenic Acid is VARNISH. Almost all restaurants worldwide are cooking everyones food in VARNISH. soybean/safflower/sunflower/corn/seasame/canola/flaxseed/cottonseed/linseed are 45%-90% linoleic/linolenic acid.
I used to have a garden. Ate kale right out of my garden. Dandelion greens. Tomatoes. Never really made a salad just munched on my garden all year. Kale grew all winter as did my oregano and anise seed. Once I moved to an apt I just wouldn't eat veggies from the store even if they were organic. I feel there is not enough nutrition derived from store bought. Have bought from local farmers markets but even then I hesitate.
Very interesting to flip the ratios of veggies to meat in the human diet. If you think about how kids naturally eat the food on their plates - meats and fruits ( and of course starches if available) first, and then they need to be forced to eat their veggies. 🤨 We then train ourselves out of this habit as we get older and force ourselves to eat tons of veggies. Food for thought. 😉
I completely agree, I’ve had this philosophy for a very long time. Food is the most important consideration we can have. What we eat, when and how we eat and prepare what goes into our mouths ready does matter.
Nice conversation! Appreciate both of your comments. I thought Mark didn't own Primal Kitchens anymore. However, I do buy it (worth paying more for it!) and continue to check ingredient list to make sure it stays consistent. It's hard to eat out anywhere if you know about nutrition and health. I NEVER get a "better" meal at a restaurant than I can make at home!! Americans, without discretion, do eat out a lot and hence are mostly fat and unhealthy.
I’ve noticed that if I make my dinner a massive salad at least three times a week I see a clear increase in the amount of Pull ups and push-ups I can do. And it’s weird, but I have repeated this experiment multiple times. I can’t really explain it.
We need natural vegetables and fruits from time to time. After all human ate this from the very beginning. Completely removing one thing from the diet is very artificial. But what works best for one onky that person will know.
It becomes a problem when seed oils are cooked at hot temperatures and then it turns into trans fats. even olive oil turns into trans fats when cooked with high heat..
It's very difficult to eat in a restaurant now, for the reasons you're discussing. I don't even _believe_ them on olive oil. They brought me oil once, and it was clearly not olive oil. From there on, I decided never to chance it, and I ate that salad with just vinegar. As for salad, in specific, I personally consider them too much a of a pain in the ass to eat at home anyway. I mostly eat frozen vegetables along with sous vide meats. I may take my own dressing to restaurants in the future, though. That's when/if I dare to go to them in the first place. As for "plants," there are several I will eat without concern, such as avocados, crucifers, asparagus and squash-spices, tomatoes and bell peppers, too. I guess people who have issues with nightshades have a good reason not to do those.
ha! at first I didn't realize who this man was and was thinking to myself: I just bring a small bottle of primal kitchen to restaurants now....I don't care how strange it is ❤️
I blend my greens. All organic. Nothing better for you imho. My diet consists of mainly greens, eggs, meat and nuts. If everyone choose this way. Illnesses and obesity would be hard to find. Pharmaceutical companies would lose much of their revenue. It really isn’t that hard.
I think the title is misleading - mind you I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but they start the discussion about restaurants using cheap dressings etc
O+V is what I do at restaurants. At home, I make my own dressing: 3 parts EVOO 1 part HCV 1-2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp oregano 1 tbsp garlic salt 10 cranks of black pepper
Well said Thomas, you are the first one to acknowledge that metabolites from arachidonic acid are both pro- and anti inflammatory depending on the progress of inflammation
Vegetables stress us very similarly to exercise. They are the exact KEY to health. Be careful how you interpret anything to the contrary. And the gut microbiome science in still in its infancy (as you know)There does appear to be superior strains of beneficial bacteria, but we are so so far away from understanding everything or even much of it. Bottom line no sugar and only drink alcohol responsibly if at all, eat your veggies and exercise lightly while strength training within reason (building up slow gives a much better result). Additionally be careful with dopamine sensitivity, don’t over-do stimulating things. Everything in moderation. That was my Mr. Know-it-all health lecture of the day. Great video
❤🤸♀️excellent interview!!! I love Mark and appreciate the development of Primal Kitchen; my life was made so much easier!!! ❤Feb. 20, 2023, my dad David turns 99!!! He's Puerto Rican amd eats the same foods o the daily because it's the flavors he enjoys and very popular in old school Puerto Rico. These include yucca root, eggplant, white onion, avocado, tomatoes (sometimes), white fish and occasionally red meat. Oh yeah, he drenches his foods with olive oil. Lots and lots of it!!! He drinks a gallon of water mixed with passion fruit (aka parcha) juice daily, actually, the amount of water has been reduced in the last 4-5 years. He also eats bread but we limit him now and enjoys his daily serving of flan. My dad was an active world traveler up until the lockdown. His cognitive health began to decline and every time he gets that horrific 💉 he ends up in the e.r. I had to fly my dad back from Puerto Rico amd had just been in nicaragua and, Costa rica. He had me fly him into Florida with family because he wanted to go back to traveling after the lock down.👌🏻🤣 didnt happen. Now, my dad had meningitis, wears an oxygen tank, has diabetes, high blood pressure, amd a slew of other issues linked to the poison. He cam hardly walk and used to LOVE gardening, which he still fights to get out there daily. He still cooks for Himself and is a bit over weight; he was overweight before the plandemic.😁👌🏻🏋️♀️ my dad went to get a small physical done monthly (no matter what part of the world he was in) and was picture perfect healthy. Sadly, he insists on getting jabbed because he says he doesn't want chronic long covid like I've struggled with since 2020. Sigh.....the doctors at Kaider have chosen to ban me when I pointed out the he was in e.r. within. 3 weeks of each shot. Go figure! His stats would prove that not everyone is a good candidate for mandated shots. Fear. My dad's diet had initially changed due to high BP and heart issues but he's backnto eating his norm just less bread. If he eats nothing else, he'll open a can of sardines (not the clean kind) or cooks white fish with olive oil. Yes, he still cooks because my sister doesn't and I no longer have room for him in my house. I hope this helps give you a little insight to an older person's eating HABITS who had a healthy and active lifestyle prior to lockdown and fear.
This guy never worked in the restaurant business. Fryers are turned off every night, and changing the oil is super easy. But, that doesn't change the fact that restaurants use canola, and peanut oil mostly.
What I buy for oils is organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, mostly organic butter and organic expeller cold pressed high oleic sunflower oil. Olive oil is around 60+ % oleic oil, but high oleic sunflower oil is around 80 to 83 % oleic oil. Why is this important. Because there is almost no omega 6 oils. Omega 6 oils are from what I understand the inflammatory problem. So eliminate the problem.
How many servings of vegetables should be eaten on Keto. I love keto because it takes away my sugar cravings but I feel constipated often. That's why I asked about the number of vegetables. Please give me some suggestions on relieving constipation.
You could be dehydrated. Also, half an apple (or a whole one) a day helps. Prune juice (no sugar added) but try it on the weekend in case it works too well.
You all make your own meals and encourage others to avoid restaurants…… by taking your own oil … you only make them more greedy and happy. If everyone makes their own meals .. and avoids restaurants then …. When they hit their losses they will know how to make good quality meals
We're actually designed as metabolically flexible, to be able to thrive in many locations & situations. We're not designed as carnivores but that's a possibility just like Vegan, but quality matters, and genetics and health condition & activity level etc. The dose is the poison.
As an aside, I went to the Thrive Market link. Can't see anything unless i join. Joining required an annual membership AND a monthly subscription. I'd like to see what I'm getting into before committing. Is there a "browsing" link?
If you pay for a sam's club or Costco It is pretty much the same with a lot of friendlier options than most stores for all diet types. And you can shop by diet type. Ships right to your door some of Thomas Delauer other videos show a little more detail on his thrive market promotions. I have heard a lot of great things about thrive but I prefer to shop in person myself.
I've seen oil recycled at a fried chicken restaurant (1970's). The oil was poured over what looked like a sand filter. I actually think it made the chicken taste better.
Very solid advice, but I will mention, at least where I am in Canada. Out of the 6 Restaurants I have worked at the oil IS changed in fryers at minimum twice a week and cleaned daily. All but 1 made all our dressings with extra virgin olive oil.
This guy has no clue how restaurants work. He's basically telling you false information about how much care people take with your food. Any competent restaurant cleans the fryer daily and changes the oil on a regular basis, like a couple of times a week. And if you're afraid of the house salad dressing, just ask for olive oil and vinegar. Don't be a sanctimonious tool and make your own vinaigrette at the table. It does NOT make you look cooler. As someone who cares deeply about health and has worked in kitchens for years, I am offended by all of this.
I’d read on multiple occasions that the problem with seed oils was in the Industrial process by which they are extracted, causing extremely unstable molecules that wreak havoc in the body. A rancid seed oil is not ideal, of course, but I think even a fresh seed oil is very bad.
yeah the only one that can be ok is sunflower bc sunflower is the only seed that is consumed naturally neirther soybean canola etc can be eaten raw. raw sunflower is actually really good esp imature seed the problem with extremely higgh omega 6 content
Never have salad either. Only one max two vegetables on every meal. On the other side, restaurant food is not made to nourish you, its made to sell, so even if it says "healthy" on the package, its just downright toxic junk 99% of the time.
I don't eat at restaurants but at home I eat salad every day and I just mix extra virgin olive oil with a splash of apple cider vinegar for my dressing. It's great.
I use a high oleic sunflower oil breed that is non GMO (Kevala). It's almost entirely oleic acid with a better lipid profile than olive oil. What's more important, is it a seed oil or the lipid profile?
I love this, what a great topic and video! I’m very interested in the effect of anti nutrients in vegetables on us as well diversity in what we eat. Thank you both!
Hahaha, I thought I was the only one, I bring my own salt, pepper & ketchup to a restaurant. Food is very powerful in more ways than one, it is more than substance, it is also very social. I have lost friends and family because of how I choose to eat, not how I think they should eat but, how I want to eat. If I go to a restaurant & ask for "real" butter the server comes back and says, " I'm sorry sir but we don't carry that brand here " .
We bring plan ahead of time what we’ll order, then bring what we think we’ll need-usually salt, condiments, dressing, lemon juice, and butter. We do try to be discreet, but having spent years in food service, I became wary.
Totally on with Mr. Sisson....count protien and eggs are the best. I am 60 and that is all I pay attention to. If fasting....I substitute protien powder. As for gut bio....KEFIR!
I had to ditch salad too. I love Mark and he is a huge reason. I lost so much weight on keto. I watched his videos but his book but I really didn’t heal my lower G.I. My issues continues until I cut out all vegetables and spices. My arthritis is better. I found out that she’s inflamed me and it’s probably, the phytic acids.
You didn't heal anything unless you had a legit allergy. You simply most likely didn't have the microbiome to process that food. Imagine eating so that you're 100lbs overweight and going to the gym thinking you're going to squat 2x bodyweight. Hell no, you are going to get buried. This is the same as people who frequently take antibiotics, eat like chit nuking their microbiome and think that they can process a broad array of veggie fiber every day. Hell to the no. You will have to work with a microbiome specialist along with minimizing processed foods. E.g. It took me 2 months of eating a tablespoon of beans every day to then build up to a cup. Now I can eat it without any issues. But I had to build up to it. If I gave up and claimed, "welp it just bloats me I'm never eating it again", then I'd be missing out on arguably one of the healthiest carbs on the planet. Microbiome science is now healing even food allergies since the S.A.D. standard American diet has killed our bacterial microdiversity. Tons of videos on UA-cam. Cutting out veggies is one of the worst things we can do on keto since keto fosters a crappy microbiome. The two can coexist and I believe that is the healthiest way moving forward since keto is all about keeping carbs under control and veggies have the highest nutrition to carb ratios on the planet and microbiome controls everything (immunity, energy, allergies etc)
A very arrogant comment to Cyndi that make huge assumptions! You assume she's too ignorant or unintelligent to have actually understood her diet. You assume that just because something works for you, it has to work for everybody else. If it doesn't , they've failed because they don't have the guts to persevere and build up their guts. You totally dismiss her lived experience and her knowledge of her body - something you know sweet-blow-all about. Cyndi isn't unique in her experience.
@Suz Cost I'm not saying elimination diets don't work but reintroduction AFTER the elimination diet should be happening. Including peanut allergies, shellfish, etc. They can all be cured with the right microbiome. Look up the human studies where we can turn a slim guy into an obese and vice versa using fecal transplants. We have to build the proper microbiome to be able to process an array of plant fibers, and our bacteria will adapt to what we feed it. Feed the wrong ones long enough and yes we will develop allergies and be forced to do elimination like cyndi. Where cyndi is wrong is that she thinks this is her permanent condition when the data does not back such a position. Microbiome specialists are reversing perceived allergies. For cyndi to deprive herself of veggies is going to crush her mortality since keto without veggies means she is crushing her microbiome diversity. Think of it as a rainforest. If there aren't enough trees, there won't be enough atmospheric oxygenation. And every time we take antibiotics we are burning down the rain forest and it will take literal years to grow back unless you are working with a microbiome specialist. Cyndi had a microbiome issue and is blaming "salad" or "phytic acid" when she simply had the wrong gut bacteria. And yes, you do have to have guts to change your lifestyle and keep feeding yourself something you perceive as harmful bc society tells us that once we have allergy it's always a permanent condition, and not knowing our microbiome composition is changing every single meal in response to what we feed it. It's typically trial and error, keep reducing the amount until you don't have an adverse reaction anymore e.g. beans and bloating in my case. For serious allergies that cause hives you should work with a specialist bc they can and currently are reversing allergies with the proper bacteria.
Congratulations on your progress. Phytic acid, yes, and oxalates, too. That seems to be our story, also. And my daughter can’t do fiber. But healing is happening for us, and hopefully limited seasonal vegetables will once again be possible. Best wishes!
Interesting that the antiplant sentiment in this video goes against all the populations who are the healthiest and live the longest ie. Mediterranean where they eat meat as a condiment. Animal products have always been used as a condiment. This is not a new concept. Where is the evidence that communities of people are eating meat primarily and live long healthy lives? I've yet to see it.
Plants have too many oxalates. My bloodwork in January showed high oxalate and I don’t even eat anything on the oxalate list. However, I was eating some sugar-free dark chocolate in December and I’m sure that was the cause because they are very high in oxalates. Even when you think you’re doing it right you’re doing it wrong. My triglycerides were 90 down from 172. My HDL was 62.5 my VLDL was 18. My liver numbers. Great my kidney numbers great my A1c was 5.7 overall my doctor was pretty happy. My total cholesterol was 250 and my LDL was 170 but he said the other numbers offset that and as long as I didn’t have any symptoms with the higher axle, it’s not to worry about it. I think everybody should get their blood work just to see where they are.
I fully agree that your recent ancestry should help determine your optimal diet. Mark Sisson has written an excellent article, "The Definitive Guide to Using Your Recent Ancestry to Determine Your Optimal Diet," which you can find on a Google search. Recent ancestry means over the last few thousands of years, not necessarily millions of years. My recent ancestors were all from China, and I am 100% genetically Chinese. Therefore, I should be eating meat, white rice, some vegetables, some fruit, and green tea everyday. I am currently experimenting with bok choy (a Chinese vegetable). My genes have evolved to deal with whatever plant toxins are in those specific vegetables that my recent ancestors ate. In addition, my genes must have evolved to be dependent on certain chemical compounds in those vegetables (and white rice). Those dependent compounds are, what I call, "ethnic vitamins" that have yet to be identified by modern day science. What complicates things is that I was born in the United States and have lived here my entire life. So I am tempted by so many foods, from all over the world, at the supermarket. But I should be eating only a small subset of those foods... foods that my Chinese genes have evolved to process. Maybe this wide variety of foods available in the U.S. is what is making us sick. Maybe this variety is the "standard American diet". If we eat only the foods that our recent ancestors ate (which is specific to each individual), I bet that metabolic disease would disappear overnight.
It also means he was confidently leading legions of people down the wrong path. It means much of what he preached was wrong. That or possibly he is wrong now.
Great knowledge being shared here the effects on the storage of seed oils in cells is an absolute killer. I have been living with stage 4 NHL for the past 2 years with no progression of disease. I think a huge part of that is my elimination of seed oils and gluten. Ive also lost 50lbs as a side result. Its also interesting that CBD THC oils which have been shown to be potent cancer fightrers block the conversion of FAAH to arachadonic acids.
Depends on the vegetable. I consume large amounts of romaine and red bell peppers. There doesn't seem to be any negative limit. But there are other vegetables which do seem to tell me, only small amounts.
The ancient Chinese Five Element system explains how different flavors help to stimulate activity in different organs. The key concept of this philosophical approach of health and longevity relating to food and all other things is balance. The plants that grow in a given biome often support the optimum nutrient needs of the local populace given the environmental stressors.
I think if you have to use spices to lower blood sugar or any food from the plants to lower a marker you’re probably doing something wrong. It shouldn’t be there in the first place. My blood pressure was 120/76 when I did my labs last month and I was in my 10th month of carnivore. However, I’ve always had really good blood pressure anyway. I think getting one’s weight down to a normal level is huge and should be considered second to just getting healthy by cleaning up the diet. 99.9% of all produce in the grocery store is man-made it is not ancient it is not in nature. It’s all man made. They have hybridized it to be sweeter, bigger more colorful, but that doesn’t mean there’s more nutrients, even though they keep telling us that.
I worked in restaurants many years they don't always put olive oil in that bottle they use cheap oil there too sorry people don't get me started on cleanliness in kitchens
My grandmother just passed in October at the age of 109.5. She had a very basic lifestyle. A “basic lifestyle” meaning there was never an excess of anything and what stood out to me growing up next door to her was an incredibly balanced life and an incredible acceptance of life on all levels. I call that Grace, which I strive for in my own life but realize now it was definitely her greatest strength. They owned a neighborhood hardware store when I was growing up where she and my grandfather worked 6 days a week and felt as though their purpose was to help all the neighbors with what ever it was they were trying to do. Their staff had the same purpose and it was so fun to hang out at the store and help people find the paint section or my favorite, the key making machine. Lol! The biggest thing was with all they had to take care of and do they NEVER ate out. My grandmother served my grandfather and many times all of us too, wonderful meals made with lard and butter. Thank goodness she didn’t serve us Crisco which was so popular in the 80”s. Anyhooo, we miss her tons and she lived a wonderful life with full faculties to the end, dying of natural causes, which you never hear anyone report these days.❤ Lifestyle is medicine without taking medicine!❤. Great segment, thank you!
❤️Rest Well Grams
After that tale, I miss your grandma too. xx
The detail about lard and butter only, not Crisco is helpful! Beautiful life story. I'll bet she kept busy, too. I use extra virgin olive oil in baked goods.Thanks!!
Yes l loved and grew up with a wonderful grandmother too here in Australia. I miss her to this day, my mother is now 85yrs

Been following Mark Sisson for 15+ years and it’s always cool to see him engaged in a different environment. Thanks for having him and sharing your conversation!
He has aged.
Yes me too! both of you dynamics duo! And we always have to re assess🤔
@@nakho3550 He has, but he is 69. Seems like even the healthiest can't stave off the age look the closer they get to 70

@@nakho3550 Yes. And it will happen to you, too...if you're lucky enough.
I’m 62 and lost 150lbs on Keto, Carnivore, IF, & OMAD. I recently introduced Sweet Potatoes into my diet, and I do not gain weight from it, nor does it spike my sugars.
Congratulations.....
Metabolic flexibility
Do the sweet potatoes do you any noticeable good?
If you are metabolically healthy, and give your body sufficient rest between meals, you shouldn't gain weight from sweet potatoes. Once I get down to my current goal weight, I will play around with some things like that.
Yes.....probably because you have made a conscious effort also to lower your foods with omega 6 oils this HELPS you become more insulin sensitive again and waaa laaaa.....you now can eat a natural food like sweet potatoes again
One thing I've always appreciated about both of these guys is their ability to change their minds when they encounter new information.
Yes thats the definition of INTELLIGENCE
Agree!
Isn't that just called thinking? Why is everyone so impressed that someone can think or read?
@Tony T because people like these guys have a public platform, and they have a lot of people eager to find fault, criticize them, look for contradictions, etc. They're under a lot of pressure to stay consistent with what they say. I think it takes quite a bit of bravery and humility to publicly admit it when you were wrong about something.
@Ginger Cat haha that is a very interesting insight. I'm not sure if it's true across the board but it may be true in some cases. Thanks for bringing it up.
Best alternative is to go out to restaurants only on infrequent occasions so you can enjoy the meal without restrictions and guilt.
and if you ask for a bunch of mods, TIP WELL ❤️
@@MsQ275 agreed. And if you’re bringing a “bandolier” of sauces from home as well as requesting all the mods, gotta wonder why you’re even going out 😂
True. Who , generally speaking, needs to go out to a restaurant more than twic a month max ?
That’s how I think… I eat whole unprocessed foods, 99% of the time but if I want to go out and have a few pizzas and beers I do and I don’t sweat it
Takes two years to clean up seed oils from the body. That's what sucks! I usually go for sashimi and some sushi rolls that have nothing fried in it.
I worked in a pretty average restaurant in Brazil, and this interview shocked me. We always used the ingredients listed, and by law anyone that wants to see the kitchen, can. So when any customers had suspicions, we would just show on the spot.
The oil was changed every day(or two on the low movement days).
Are you SURE that you aren't using soybean oil in your cooking? Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of soy.
@@sethpawlik shipped overseas, China buys the world's soy beans.
In January 2022, I was 60 and I started doing keto, IF and OMAD. I did/do eat a “big ass” multi-veg salad everyday with a home-made olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Himalayan sea salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion, cumin dressing. I eat 16 oz of protein primarily from sardines, herring, grass fed beef, pork and organic eggs. I also walked/walk 8 miles every other day. RESULTS by 10/31/2022, lost 50 lbs, got off 7 long-term medications and had the best blood tests readings ever.
keto equal suffering bad bad bad
Love Mark. He was my intro to eating better. Love how he adjusts as he learns more or as data changes.
My 83 yr. old mother always eats the same routine every day and is in perfect health. This includes eggs and yogurt for breakfast (cereal once per week)....a big salad with bell peppers and protein for lunch.....meats and hot veggies at supper....and dessert only on Sunday. Shes happy and healthy.
She has unlocked the key to health! Keto + veggies w/limited processed grains/starches/cereals. Keto's main weakness is microbiome biodiversity and I think a broad array of plant fiber has to be the centerpiece of any diet. Then we can start adding in eggs, grassfed meats, wild caught fish which keto excels at. And of course 90% processed food free, ideally 100%. For the plant fiber part I employ dr.fuhrmans g-bombs acronym and then rotate meats in here and there.
Life. And health not all about food alone. Our mind drives our health 95% . Remaining 5% is our karma !!! These days people have done so much research on food and types of food alone. Obsessed. We need to take into account life style, how balanced is their physical work and mental work, attitude towards life around.. how much they are in nature … everything contributes to well being.
I met a painter who only paints homes for a living, he said he never went to a doctor in the past 72 years of his life. Always inhaling the toxic fumes from new paints and homes. He ate onky cheap donuts/buns and coffee for breakfast, normal burgers for lunch bought from outside where ever and some meat/ veggies for dinner… no exotic , organic high quality food/ supplements the we are researching on.
Also met an old woman who consumed onky normal milk in the morning and one simple lunch of lentils and buttermilk with rice and some veggies once a day for her lunch and no dinner . This is what she ate all her life. No change in her type of lentil whatsoever. Same thing almost for food everyday.
One 106 year old grandpa on the streets I met ate only plain bun and tea for breakfast, some junk road side sandwiche for lunch and dinner is occasional. He walks so fast at rocket speed to wherever he goes. At 106th year of his life.
I feel we lost our ability to see life from a higher perspective. Lost even common sense. Instead pigeon hole every thing into just food food and food..
Where do these healthy old people get all their different types of vitamins and trace minerals ????????????????
@@naughtyorgneiss that’s what you think. Try having 10 people eating the same diet for one year.. they won’t be like this grandma

I have tried to find a salad dressing without soy bean oil and absolutely none of the dressings at my local supermarket are without this ingredient. Making a dressing every evening in addition to cooking a meal is not what everyone will do. I suggest taking an empty dressing bottle and filling it with a healthy dressing, like: Olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, pressed garlic, mustard and also adding some herbs like, Himalayan salt, black pepper, & basil.
Primal Kitchens is the only brand that avoids all "bad" ingredients. But homemade is excellent, too.
Make your own. His are not very tasty.
Rick Rose,
Himalayan salt is a mineral, NOT a herb!
Blackpepper is also a fruit, NOT a herb!
Took the words right out of my mouth. It's so easy to make your own dressing..... and then you can use it for weeks. Only thing you have to remember is to 2:1 or 3:1 oil to vinegar.
From there you can literally use any seasoning you want.
Alternatively you don't actually have to make a dressing in a bottle or cup....you can just toss the olive oil and vinegar and salt and pepper right on the salad or vegetable.
Not a critique, per se, just a thought. Being able to choose one’s “ideal diet” always has been and always will be a luxurious problem to have. Im grateful!!!
💯💯💯
There is a truth to this and yet if we were aligned with Nature and respected Nature the way our ancestors did, and the way Native people do, the quality of all our food would be what the creator intended and full of nutrients and life force.
True! First World problems, but embrace it!
My thought exactly!
True, some people have no choice but to eat junk food. I don't live un the US, when I go as a tourist I have noticed that junk food es even cheaper than in my country, but quality food (the good stuff) is a lot more expensive, you have to be privileged to eat well in the USA.
This was a very good and interesting conversation. One thing I want to add that dictates how I eat these days at 70. My cravings for a certain type of food doesn't matter so much anymore. It's actually what my stomach will allow me to eat these days, Lol. I love spicy foods, pizza, TexMex and a lot of times they sound great, but No! Can't. I used to could eat anyting, but it's amazing what food can do to your body when you're older!
Might just be the lifelong accumulation of oxalates. See Sally Norton. I'm 69 and working on gradually clearing oxalates, and miraculously, now i can suddenly eat bananas again without farting up a cyclone of greenhouse gases. And alliums. And mushrooms ... Though due to the ongoing process this fluctuates a bit.
Try Kosher adjustment to your favorite home made recepies. It does miracles. You will have so much energy, you will feel 15 yrs younger, & no upset stomachs at all whatsoever. You will feel like you've been taking all your vitamins even when you forget to, or haven't in a while. The keto paleo seems nice too 👍
@@Loohan7 , Aloe vera juice 🥤🧃 with your favorite fruit 🍓🍑 juice, with some daily senakot, or sennosides vitamins, should fix all your stomach issues, I alternate them with either orange 🍊 juice, cranberry juice, or prune juice.

It would be nice if Primal made individual dressing packs for eating out or on the go.
I’m thinking now about getting a small liquid-tight container that I can put a single serving of salad dressing into and take with me. That gives me the option of which salad dressing to use.
@@lexboegenI use a small dropper bottle left from liquid stevia or a tincture. You can buy new ones online.

I'm told that Primal Kitchen was sold to Kraft foods.
@@goldblueberries326 hopefully this would be a good move since they are a mass producer. Maybe the prices will improve on Primal products
I mean. I agree with a lot of this but I don’t worry about it too much. Just cook healthy at home and have fun when you go out. We work all week, id go crazy to not be able to go out and not worry about it. Nonetheless I’m glad to see these conversations happening. I wish more places would fry in beef tallow.
Yeah same here but I suppose it matters with lifestyle, some people eat at restaurants way too frequently and then it would matter a lot more but if it's once or maybe twice a week then cooking healthy at home would likely offset the negatives.
fried in beef tallow sounds amazing ❤️
Agreed. All meals homemade with high quality ingredients, exercise regulalry, drink quality, uncontaminated water, get good sleep regularly, and going out to eat fir one meal, once or even twice a week will have little to no effect on your overall health.
The problem is some people have an all or nothing mentality, so they turn one meal out as a "might as well eat like crap for the rest of the day!"
@Bully Maguire so true, it's amazing that for some reason with our diets we break it and then we're like f it 😑 It's the equivalent of getting a flat and then going f it, I might as well slash all 4 😂
Loved watching Thomas geek out with Mark.. great video and conversation.
I had heard on this channel that seed oils are bad. As a result, I read the labels on the dressings to select something without seed oil a few days ago. While watching this, I'm unknowingly sitting here eating a salad with Primal Ktichen Green Goddess dressing. Kind of a trip that is Mark's company. Tasty too!
Pretty interesting.
The only successful weight loss I ever had started with Mark and the Primal Blueprint, and continued to Thomas' Keto. Nice to seem both in one video.
Used to eat salad until 3 years ago. Figured out there is no reason to eat it given the nutritional profile of organ meats and have never looked back.
What a sign of the times we are living in when we pay very high prices to eat in even a bad restaurant! They are so greedy they can’t even provide customers with quality healthy products. People are getting educated thanks to you and we’re not going out as much to eat. When I do eat out I have to bring my own containers of basics like sweeteners and olive oil.
So true . We pay so much eating out to spoil our health.
Best way is to cook your food. Restaurants can be fun but if you constantly eating there, you are getting the worst possible outcome for your health.
Super fascinating discussion! Interestingly, to both of your points about microbiome and where it came from, the Zoe podcast spoke to the scientists that studied the mummified remains that were famously found up on the Italian alps (amongst other ancient remains as well), and I think both Mark and Thomas will find the discovery pretty fascinating, including a) the fact that they found evidence of a toxic fern in his system (why? Medicinal?), and also b) his microbiome was profoundly far more diverse than our own. Theories include that, just like with the current state of the plant and animal kingdom, has there been a series of "extinctions" taking place in the microbial world as well? Anyway, as always - gosh, I love this channel and the content! Thanks so much!
Yes you can ask for salad dressing on the side so they never put it on your salad. Eating a small amount of anything is fine even if its not olive oil - but not drenched in other not-so-healthy oils. Best thing is to cook your own food... I love cooking so for me it's not an issue :D Cooking your own food often leads to less calories, healthier food and you save a lot of moolah too.
We were at outback the other day and I was just gonna have a steak but of course when they bring the bread and butter thoughts passed through the head. But I asked what was in the whipped butter. Because I thought hey, I can eat butter, And maybe I can treat myself to a little bit of bread. The server did not know, so she got a manager who told me that it was whipped butter, milk and canola oil or some such combination. It was a lot easier to pass on the bread after that. Bread is supposed to be a conveyor of butter. And they weren’t serving butter.
Remember folks Linoleic/Linolenic Acid is VARNISH. Almost all restaurants worldwide are cooking everyones food in VARNISH. soybean/safflower/sunflower/corn/seasame/canola/flaxseed/cottonseed/linseed are 45%-90% linoleic/linolenic acid.
i highly reccomend his news letter esp sunday with sisson,he fights the good fight and luckly has been rewarded for it
Absolutely wonderful conversation. Thanks for sharing.
I used to have a garden. Ate kale right out of my garden. Dandelion greens. Tomatoes. Never really made a salad just munched on my garden all year. Kale grew all winter as did my oregano and anise seed.
Once I moved to an apt I just wouldn't eat veggies from the store even if they were organic. I feel there is not enough nutrition derived from store bought. Have bought from local farmers markets but even then I hesitate.
I always tell in restaurants that I am veeeery allergic to any kind of seed oil … it works !!!
Hahahaha... great tip! I am stealing it.
Very interesting to flip the ratios of veggies to meat in the human diet. If you think about how kids naturally eat the food on their plates - meats and fruits ( and of course starches if available) first, and then they need to be forced to eat their veggies. 🤨 We then train ourselves out of this habit as we get older and force ourselves to eat tons of veggies. Food for thought. 😉
I agree with this!
They eat the Mountain Dew and twinkies first. Humans are evolved to to eat twinkies and Mountain Dew by that logic
Interesting…very interesting 🤔
@@westhoodqualzini7884 Hopefully there are no Twinkies or Mountain Dew on their plate! 😉
We grew our own veggies, my kids have always loved their veggies and greens.
I completely agree, I’ve had this philosophy for a very long time. Food is the most important consideration we can have. What we eat, when and how we eat and prepare what goes into our mouths ready does matter.
Nice conversation! Appreciate both of your comments. I thought Mark didn't own Primal Kitchens anymore. However, I do buy it (worth paying more for it!) and continue to check ingredient list to make sure it stays consistent. It's hard to eat out anywhere if you know about nutrition and health. I NEVER get a "better" meal at a restaurant than I can make at home!! Americans, without discretion, do eat out a lot and hence are mostly fat and unhealthy.
I feel like I just watched a 16min ad for a salad dressing, with a Thrive market ad mixed in.
That was not at all the intent. And I don’t think a lot of people view it like that.
Same
🤣
I’ve noticed that if I make my dinner a massive salad at least three times a week I see a clear increase in the amount of Pull ups and push-ups I can do. And it’s weird, but I have repeated this experiment multiple times. I can’t really explain it.
Same. My body loves a big salad, along with a nice steak. I feel stronger and vital eating leafy greens with my protein.

@@stefanmihaila3261 Interesting
@Steven Brown I can't imagine craving a salad 😳
We need natural vegetables and fruits from time to time. After all human ate this from the very beginning. Completely removing one thing from the diet is very artificial. But what works best for one onky that person will know.
I love mark. He changed my life for the better!
It becomes a problem when seed oils are cooked at hot temperatures and then it turns into trans fats. even olive oil turns into trans fats when cooked with high heat..
I bring primal kitchen dressings with me whenever possible, I get looks but don't give a $&!t lol
It's very difficult to eat in a restaurant now, for the reasons you're discussing. I don't even _believe_ them on olive oil. They brought me oil once, and it was clearly not olive oil. From there on, I decided never to chance it, and I ate that salad with just vinegar.
As for salad, in specific, I personally consider them too much a of a pain in the ass to eat at home anyway. I mostly eat frozen vegetables along with sous vide meats. I may take my own dressing to restaurants in the future, though. That's when/if I dare to go to them in the first place.
As for "plants," there are several I will eat without concern, such as avocados, crucifers, asparagus and squash-spices, tomatoes and bell peppers, too. I guess people who have issues with nightshades have a good reason not to do those.
ha! at first I didn't realize who this man was and was thinking to myself: I just bring a small bottle of primal kitchen to restaurants now....I don't care how strange it is ❤️
Not strange at all.
Cause of the processing of those seeds to get the oils out they use solvents hexzane etc to do it with
No salads?? I’m never giving up salads lol 🥗 especially when the weather gets warmer, I can eat a salad everyday😋
I blend my greens. All organic. Nothing better for you imho. My diet consists of mainly greens, eggs, meat and nuts. If everyone choose this way. Illnesses and obesity would be hard to find. Pharmaceutical companies would lose much of their revenue. It really isn’t that hard.
I think the title is misleading - mind you I haven’t watched the whole thing yet but they start the discussion about restaurants using cheap dressings etc
@@steveleeart good point
Great video and discussion!
Only a problem if you are eating out like everyday. Otherwise the effects are negligible considering most people go to restaurants infrequently.
O+V is what I do at restaurants. At home, I make my own dressing:
3 parts EVOO
1 part HCV
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp garlic salt
10 cranks of black pepper
Well said Thomas, you are the first one to acknowledge that metabolites from arachidonic acid are both pro- and anti inflammatory depending on the progress of inflammation
Mark's idea of a salad dressing bandolier reminds me of John Belushi's "Killer Bees" skit on Saturday Night Live!
hahahahahahaha!
Vegetables stress us very similarly to exercise. They are the exact KEY to health. Be careful how you interpret anything to the contrary. And the gut microbiome science in still in its infancy (as you know)There does appear to be superior strains of beneficial bacteria, but we are so so far away from understanding everything or even much of it.
Bottom line no sugar and only drink alcohol responsibly if at all, eat your veggies and exercise lightly while strength training within reason (building up slow gives a much better result).
Additionally be careful with dopamine sensitivity, don’t over-do stimulating things.
Everything in moderation.
That was my Mr. Know-it-all health lecture of the day.
Great video
alcohol also stresses us, so do cigarettes and drugs. doesn't mean it's healthy. most healthy people I know are carnivores with zero vegetables.

❤🤸♀️excellent interview!!! I love Mark and appreciate the development of Primal Kitchen; my life was made so much easier!!!
❤Feb. 20, 2023, my dad David turns 99!!! He's Puerto Rican amd eats the same foods o the daily because it's the flavors he enjoys and very popular in old school Puerto Rico. These include yucca root, eggplant, white onion, avocado, tomatoes (sometimes), white fish and occasionally red meat. Oh yeah, he drenches his foods with olive oil. Lots and lots of it!!! He drinks a gallon of water mixed with passion fruit (aka parcha) juice daily, actually, the amount of water has been reduced in the last 4-5 years. He also eats bread but we limit him now and enjoys his daily serving of flan.
My dad was an active world traveler up until the lockdown. His cognitive health began to decline and every time he gets that horrific 💉 he ends up in the e.r. I had to fly my dad back from Puerto Rico amd had just been in nicaragua and, Costa rica. He had me fly him into Florida with family because he wanted to go back to traveling after the lock down.👌🏻🤣 didnt happen. Now, my dad had meningitis, wears an oxygen tank, has diabetes, high blood pressure, amd a slew of other issues linked to the poison. He cam hardly walk and used to LOVE gardening, which he still fights to get out there daily. He still cooks for Himself and is a bit over weight; he was overweight before the plandemic.😁👌🏻🏋️♀️ my dad went to get a small physical done monthly (no matter what part of the world he was in) and was picture perfect healthy. Sadly, he insists on getting jabbed because he says he doesn't want chronic long covid like I've struggled with since 2020. Sigh.....the doctors at Kaider have chosen to ban me when I pointed out the he was in e.r. within. 3 weeks of each shot. Go figure! His stats would prove that not everyone is a good candidate for mandated shots. Fear. My dad's diet had initially changed due to high BP and heart issues but he's backnto eating his norm just less bread. If he eats nothing else, he'll open a can of sardines (not the clean kind) or cooks white fish with olive oil. Yes, he still cooks because my sister doesn't and I no longer have room for him in my house. I hope this helps give you a little insight to an older person's eating HABITS who had a healthy and active lifestyle prior to lockdown and fear.
Great talk! This should be a series with you two!
This guy never worked in the restaurant business. Fryers are turned off every night, and changing the oil is super easy. But, that doesn't change the fact that restaurants use canola, and peanut oil mostly.
What I buy for oils is organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, mostly organic butter and organic expeller cold pressed high oleic sunflower oil. Olive oil is around 60+ % oleic oil, but high oleic sunflower oil is around 80 to 83 % oleic oil. Why is this important. Because there is almost no omega 6 oils. Omega 6 oils are from what I understand the inflammatory problem. So eliminate the problem.
How many servings of vegetables should be eaten on Keto. I love keto because it takes away my sugar cravings but I feel constipated often. That's why I asked about the number of vegetables. Please give me some suggestions on relieving constipation.
Add in some broccoli
You could be dehydrated. Also, half an apple (or a whole one) a day helps. Prune juice (no sugar added) but try it on the weekend in case it works too well.
Remove fiber, that resolves constipation. Fiber just adds to the bulk, it doesn't make them easier to pass or more frequent
A friend carries her olive oil and vinegar to restaurants. She uses small carafes. I bought the same ones.
You all make your own meals and encourage others to avoid restaurants…… by taking your own oil … you only make them more greedy and happy. If everyone makes their own meals .. and avoids restaurants then …. When they hit their losses they will know how to make good quality meals
We're actually designed as metabolically flexible, to be able to thrive in many locations & situations. We're not designed as carnivores but that's a possibility just like Vegan, but quality matters, and genetics and health condition & activity level etc. The dose is the poison.
As an aside, I went to the Thrive Market link. Can't see anything unless i join. Joining required an annual membership AND a monthly subscription. I'd like to see what I'm getting into before committing. Is there a "browsing" link?
If you pay for a sam's club or Costco It is pretty much the same with a lot of friendlier options than most stores for all diet types. And you can shop by diet type. Ships right to your door some of Thomas Delauer other videos show a little more detail on his thrive market promotions. I have heard a lot of great things about thrive but I prefer to shop in person myself.
I've seen oil recycled at a fried chicken restaurant (1970's). The oil was poured over what looked like a sand filter. I actually think it made the chicken taste better.
Very solid advice, but I will mention, at least where I am in Canada. Out of the 6 Restaurants I have worked at the oil IS changed in fryers at minimum twice a week and cleaned daily. All but 1 made all our dressings with extra virgin olive oil.
This guy has no clue how restaurants work. He's basically telling you false information about how much care people take with your food. Any competent restaurant cleans the fryer daily and changes the oil on a regular basis, like a couple of times a week. And if you're afraid of the house salad dressing, just ask for olive oil and vinegar. Don't be a sanctimonious tool and make your own vinaigrette at the table. It does NOT make you look cooler. As someone who cares deeply about health and has worked in kitchens for years, I am offended by all of this.
Thank you Mark for Primal Kitchen. I regularly get the Avo Mayo that I use as a base when I make my own sauces with various spices.
I think increasing protein as we age is not a good formula for anti-aging. Small adequate portions of protein work well for the Okinawan’s.
Agreed. Our ability to metabolize protein is diminished so I doubt if more protein will help more than hurt.
@@geraldfriend256 good stuff! The peasants diet is far superior, most recognized studies show this.
Okinawans eat mostly pork and lots of bitter melon
Would be nice to have primal kitchen dressing packets.
I’d read on multiple occasions that the problem with seed oils was in the Industrial process by which they are extracted, causing extremely unstable molecules that wreak havoc in the body. A rancid seed oil is not ideal, of course, but I think even a fresh seed oil is very bad.
yeah the only one that can be ok is sunflower bc sunflower is the only seed that is consumed naturally neirther soybean canola etc can be eaten raw. raw sunflower is actually really good esp imature seed the problem with extremely higgh omega 6 content
Must say I agree. Some oils we know very little about and its argued they can lead to the insulin ducts been altered over time.
Hi Thomas, great information. Thank you. A superb upload as usual.
Never have salad either. Only one max two vegetables on every meal. On the other side, restaurant food is not made to nourish you, its made to sell, so even if it says "healthy" on the package, its just downright toxic junk 99% of the time.
Because of how ridiculously expensive his products are i learned to make my own salad dressings, spicy italian and greek and catsup.
I don't eat at restaurants but at home I eat salad every day and I just mix extra virgin olive oil with a splash of apple cider vinegar for my dressing. It's great.
Fantastic infomercial from the vlog’s sponsor and the guest’s business
I use a high oleic sunflower oil breed that is non GMO (Kevala). It's almost entirely oleic acid with a better lipid profile than olive oil. What's more important, is it a seed oil or the lipid profile?
I love this, what a great topic and video! I’m very interested in the effect of anti nutrients in vegetables on us as well diversity in what we eat. Thank you both!
Especially when you have two extremes on topics, I’ve been on the fence on plants and toxicity for a while now as well as the microbiome….
Hahaha, I thought I was the only one, I bring my own salt, pepper & ketchup to a restaurant. Food is very powerful in more ways than one, it is more than substance, it is also very social. I have lost friends and family because of how I choose to eat, not how I think they should eat but, how I want to eat. If I go to a restaurant & ask for "real" butter the server comes back and says, " I'm sorry sir but we don't carry that brand here " .
I applaud you! The bad oils add up. Udo Erasmus says it takes 7 years for bad oils to.get out of the body. His book is Fats That Kill, Fats that Heal.
We bring plan ahead of time what we’ll order, then bring what we think we’ll need-usually salt, condiments, dressing, lemon juice, and butter. We do try to be discreet, but having spent years in food service, I became wary.
Totally on with Mr. Sisson....count protien and eggs are the best. I am 60 and that is all I pay attention to. If fasting....I substitute protien powder. As for gut bio....KEFIR!
Love the primal kitchen stuff
I had to ditch salad too. I love Mark and he is a huge reason. I lost so much weight on keto. I watched his videos but his book but I really didn’t heal my lower G.I. My issues continues until I cut out all vegetables and spices. My arthritis is better. I found out that she’s inflamed me and it’s probably, the phytic acids.
You didn't heal anything unless you had a legit allergy. You simply most likely didn't have the microbiome to process that food. Imagine eating so that you're 100lbs overweight and going to the gym thinking you're going to squat 2x bodyweight. Hell no, you are going to get buried. This is the same as people who frequently take antibiotics, eat like chit nuking their microbiome and think that they can process a broad array of veggie fiber every day. Hell to the no. You will have to work with a microbiome specialist along with minimizing processed foods. E.g. It took me 2 months of eating a tablespoon of beans every day to then build up to a cup. Now I can eat it without any issues. But I had to build up to it. If I gave up and claimed, "welp it just bloats me I'm never eating it again", then I'd be missing out on arguably one of the healthiest carbs on the planet. Microbiome science is now healing even food allergies since the S.A.D. standard American diet has killed our bacterial microdiversity. Tons of videos on UA-cam. Cutting out veggies is one of the worst things we can do on keto since keto fosters a crappy microbiome. The two can coexist and I believe that is the healthiest way moving forward since keto is all about keeping carbs under control and veggies have the highest nutrition to carb ratios on the planet and microbiome controls everything (immunity, energy, allergies etc)
A very arrogant comment to Cyndi that make huge assumptions! You assume she's too ignorant or unintelligent to have actually understood her diet. You assume that just because something works for you, it has to work for everybody else. If it doesn't , they've failed because they don't have the guts to persevere and build up their guts. You totally dismiss her lived experience and her knowledge of her body - something you know sweet-blow-all about. Cyndi isn't unique in her experience.
@Suz Cost I'm not saying elimination diets don't work but reintroduction AFTER the elimination diet should be happening. Including peanut allergies, shellfish, etc. They can all be cured with the right microbiome. Look up the human studies where we can turn a slim guy into an obese and vice versa using fecal transplants. We have to build the proper microbiome to be able to process an array of plant fibers, and our bacteria will adapt to what we feed it. Feed the wrong ones long enough and yes we will develop allergies and be forced to do elimination like cyndi. Where cyndi is wrong is that she thinks this is her permanent condition when the data does not back such a position. Microbiome specialists are reversing perceived allergies. For cyndi to deprive herself of veggies is going to crush her mortality since keto without veggies means she is crushing her microbiome diversity. Think of it as a rainforest. If there aren't enough trees, there won't be enough atmospheric oxygenation. And every time we take antibiotics we are burning down the rain forest and it will take literal years to grow back unless you are working with a microbiome specialist. Cyndi had a microbiome issue and is blaming "salad" or "phytic acid" when she simply had the wrong gut bacteria. And yes, you do have to have guts to change your lifestyle and keep feeding yourself something you perceive as harmful bc society tells us that once we have allergy it's always a permanent condition, and not knowing our microbiome composition is changing every single meal in response to what we feed it. It's typically trial and error, keep reducing the amount until you don't have an adverse reaction anymore e.g. beans and bloating in my case. For serious allergies that cause hives you should work with a specialist bc they can and currently are reversing allergies with the proper bacteria.
Congratulations on your progress. Phytic acid, yes, and oxalates, too. That seems to be our story, also. And my daughter can’t do fiber. But healing is happening for us, and hopefully limited seasonal vegetables will once again be possible. Best wishes!
Exactly , best food is home cooked food.
Interesting that the antiplant sentiment in this video goes against all the populations who are the healthiest and live the longest ie. Mediterranean where they eat meat as a condiment. Animal products have always been used as a condiment. This is not a new concept. Where is the evidence that communities of people are eating meat primarily and live long healthy lives? I've yet to see it.
Here's a idea for the Primal Kitchen guy. Make single serving packets of salad dressing to bring to restaurants!
Plants have too many oxalates. My bloodwork in January showed high oxalate and I don’t even eat anything on the oxalate list. However, I was eating some sugar-free dark chocolate in December and I’m sure that was the cause because they are very high in oxalates. Even when you think you’re doing it right you’re doing it wrong. My triglycerides were 90 down from 172. My HDL was 62.5 my VLDL was 18. My liver numbers. Great my kidney numbers great my A1c was 5.7 overall my doctor was pretty happy. My total cholesterol was 250 and my LDL was 170 but he said the other numbers offset that and as long as I didn’t have any symptoms with the higher axle, it’s not to worry about it. I think everybody should get their blood work just to see where they are.
This is why I never eat out anymore, crappy ingredients and expensive meals.
I'd love to hear you guys' take on the A1 sitting on the table... Lol
Anyone that has worked in a restaurant.... is weary of eating in any restaurant LOL... I love my own kitchen... eating out is overrated
LOVED THIS! you guys are asking exactly the right questions! Ever thought about starting a podcast together?
That bro science handshake at the end was sweet.
I love Primal salad dressings more Cesar and Ranch dressing please, these are the best flavors.
Tom, Thanks for having Mark on. Been using Primal Kitchen products for years. Bottom line, I’ll pay
A littler extra for my health!!
Bit and Rudder, just make sure the container has a good seal! Don’t ask me how I know😅🤣
I fully agree that your recent ancestry should help determine your optimal diet. Mark Sisson has written an excellent article, "The Definitive Guide to Using Your Recent Ancestry to Determine Your Optimal Diet," which you can find on a Google search. Recent ancestry means over the last few thousands of years, not necessarily millions of years. My recent ancestors were all from China, and I am 100% genetically Chinese. Therefore, I should be eating meat, white rice, some vegetables, some fruit, and green tea everyday. I am currently experimenting with bok choy (a Chinese vegetable). My genes have evolved to deal with whatever plant toxins are in those specific vegetables that my recent ancestors ate. In addition, my genes must have evolved to be dependent on certain chemical compounds in those vegetables (and white rice). Those dependent compounds are, what I call, "ethnic vitamins" that have yet to be identified by modern day science. What complicates things is that I was born in the United States and have lived here my entire life. So I am tempted by so many foods, from all over the world, at the supermarket. But I should be eating only a small subset of those foods... foods that my Chinese genes have evolved to process. Maybe this wide variety of foods available in the U.S. is what is making us sick. Maybe this variety is the "standard American diet". If we eat only the foods that our recent ancestors ate (which is specific to each individual), I bet that metabolic disease would disappear overnight.
The Gentleman very knowledgeable and has very good Perspective.
Sooo looking forward to that conversation about the microbiome! Please make it happen.
A man who changes his mind when new information comes to him is a very intelligent man
It also means he was confidently leading legions of people down the wrong path. It means much of what he preached was wrong.
That or possibly he is wrong now.
Great knowledge being shared here the effects on the storage of seed oils in cells is an absolute killer. I have been living with stage 4 NHL for the past 2 years with no progression of disease. I think a huge part of that is my elimination of seed oils and gluten. Ive also lost 50lbs as a side result. Its also interesting that CBD THC oils which have been shown to be potent cancer fightrers block the conversion of FAAH to arachadonic acids.
00:30 ...seed oils, cuz he used to be in the business, left him with a permanent nose whistle!! 😆😂
Primal kitchen is now owned by Kraft foods. Keep an eye on the ingredients.
Depends on the vegetable. I consume large amounts of romaine and red bell peppers. There doesn't seem to be any negative limit. But there are other vegetables which do seem to tell me, only small amounts.
The ancient Chinese Five Element system explains how different flavors help to stimulate activity in different organs. The key concept of this philosophical approach of health and longevity relating to food and all other things is balance. The plants that grow in a given biome often support the optimum nutrient needs of the local populace given the environmental stressors.
Primal Kitchen!! Praise him!! I love the chipotle mayo for my burgers.
The title is a little misleading.
I think if you have to use spices to lower blood sugar or any food from the plants to lower a marker you’re probably doing something wrong. It shouldn’t be there in the first place. My blood pressure was 120/76 when I did my labs last month and I was in my 10th month of carnivore. However, I’ve always had really good blood pressure anyway. I think getting one’s weight down to a normal level is huge and should be considered second to just getting healthy by cleaning up the diet. 99.9% of all produce in the grocery store is man-made it is not ancient it is not in nature. It’s all man made. They have hybridized it to be sweeter, bigger more colorful, but that doesn’t mean there’s more nutrients, even though they keep telling us that.
Thank you for making this point about the produce.
I worked in restaurants many years they don't always put olive oil in that bottle they use cheap oil there too sorry people don't get me started on cleanliness in kitchens
This is a solid bromance.
There is no way any restaurant uses extra virgin olive oil. I don't eat ANYTHING with oil in a restaurant. I get steamed veggies and chicken...
