- The rise in the U.S. calorie supply responsible for national weight gain and the obesity epidemic wasn’t just about more food, but a different kind of food - processed food.

For 100g of potato, it has 77 calories with 0.1g fat. Turn that into 100 of potato chips and all of a sudden 536 calories and 35g of fat. Similar story with French Fries.
I read your book and followed your diet starting January 20. Now my resting heart rate is 48 bpm. It used to be 75-80. I also lost 50 pounds of fat with no exercise whatsoever. Also my blood pressure went from 165/105 to 120/75. Thank you Dr. Gregor. Also I am at a BMI of 36 after 50 pound weight loss so i am still 80 pounds overweight.
Wow! That's great!
Did you exercise a lot? 48 resting heart rate is fantastic as well as your bp
@@michaelb2363 The only exercise I got was going to the produce section of the grocery store. The rest of the time I was sitting down at a computer or in bed watching TV.
Congrats!!!
Wow, so even though your body is still obese, it's not struggling.
I have noticed something. If I eat anything processed, I feel like crap and have headaches for a couple days. I feel good eating whole, organic foods though.
@@lightdark00 I went from a diet high in processed, high fat junk food to a low fat whole foods plant based diet and my chronic migraines have disappeared. Yes, for some it could be attributed to a psychosomatic reaction but that is definitely not the case for me. I think some people react very badly to some of the preservatives found in a lot of these junk foods, it may not be just the oil or amount of fat.
Lisan al-Gaib I agree! My blood work was terrible on the standard American diet. My body just doesn’t react well to processed food. I suffer autoimmune issues. I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I get inflamed and swollen from processed foods also.
@@naomimay82 dude, u have an illnes thats why you dont tolerate junk food. Most of the people love it and it doesnt have any side effect short term
The new format is really appealing, i love the work you are doing!
Excellent historical context, thank you.
Really well done! Way to bring the past into the present!
I just had a big bag of crisps. It's so darn easy to buy and eat processed food 😋
Expecting bout of depression in three, two, one...
When I have junkie food around, I calculate the calories per pound (as Jeff Novick teaches) and write it on the package (my trick). Then I know exactly the caloric density and can more easily stop myself from "eating the whole bag". Poison in small intermittent doses rarely kills, so I manage those things that way.
@@lightdark00 Yes I was cycling just yesterday - far out of shape, but enjoying my slimmer physique from WFPB eating. I only buy chips/crisps occasionally. It's what we do _most_ of the time that matters most. I eat more volume of food than ever because the caloric densities of less-processed foods tends to be so low.
Thank you for your work! I appreciate it all your content!
Thanks Dr.Greger for sharing this video
Great insight, thanks!
Another informative video. Thanks Doc!!
Gracias por los subtítulos 💕
I visited my aunt on the farm in the 90's. I was amazed that no sooner did breakfast get finished, it was time to prepare for lunch, and no sooner did lunch get cleaned up, it was time to prepare for dinner. Seemed like most of her day was spend either cleaning up a meal or preparing for the next meal.
this channel is really going off ! keep it up man !
He has 1000's of videos at his website. I started there 6 years ago.
Love these new short vidéos. Please Dr. Greger is consuming 150g of nutritional yeast too much ?
Twinkies are vile, how I ever thought they tasted nice is beyond me. 🙂
They are weird. Like a Swiss roll that's a 100 he old.
Twinkies are great but I wish they were made without hydrogenated oil then I would eat them more often which is once in a blue moon.
@Peter Rabitt ha ha fancy calling it a twinkie
@Peter Rabitt don't you think slot of process taste like this?
@Peter Rabitt amen amen lol
Thank you! This has been on my mind lately. I watched the Nova episode called the Truth about Fat and it totally ignored addressing the truth about fat...
🙌 truuth. So much truuthhh
Triste realidade! No Brasil, não é diferente!
I'm a recent culinary arts grad and the reason I got into this field later in life is because I discovered first-hand the correlation between diet and disease. For the average consumer, it's often not their fault that they're fat and sick; they don't know any better, or they don't have access to nutrient-dense foods. (Hunger is the cells crying for nutrition.) They believe what's marketed to them and if they do care it's in the form of convoluted nutritionism, not nutrition science. Change must be top-down in the form of policy and regulation, and to rethink subsidies that enable nutrient deficient, caloric-rich foods to be sold so cheaply.
Hello doctor: you hear speculation about whether pets, dogs and cats, are susceptible to infecting the coronavirus; but the possibility that farm animals can infect it is not heard at all. This makes me think about the possibility that many animal farm workers are asymptomatic and are transmitting Covid19 to chickens, pigs and cows and are creating the ideal reservoir for even more dangerous future mutations, or that a source of contagion is the same farms dedicated to the consumption of animal carcasses. What do you think?
In many countries most moms breastfeed their babies. Recently we heard about baby formula crisis so severe that the President must order companies to make lots of it as soon as possible. If baby formula qualifies as processed food, then citizens and residents are introduced to processed foods very early.
Generation X-ers must have had the worst diet in US (maybe world) history. I cringe to think of all the garbage I ate in the '70s, '80s, and '90s--TV dinners, frozen pizzas, Egg McMuffins, just a bunch of nutritional trash. I've literally eaten more fruits and vegetables in the past couple of years than in the fifty years preceding them.

So true Doctor Greger. 👍
What’s a Twinkie anyway? I thought it was some sort of chocolate bar, like a Mars bar.
It's a packaged pastry filled with cream by the company Hostess. It's like a small, cream-filled cake
@S Mudge okay, got it. Thanks for your reply.
There’s always a downside to every upside. Be careful what you wish for.
wait, how do we know that the decrease in caloric intake in first half of the century wasn't because of the great depression?
That also brought to mind the two world wars which most likely had an impact on availability. Probably a combination of these factors.
Red Robin................unlimited fries, get em while there hot.
Then can we use machines to mass produce healthy foods?
Don't need machines. Fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts and spices grow from the earth.
@@carrie6743 I'm not sure if its a good idea to go backwards technologically. I dont think it will win hearts and minds.
Tell a mother of 3 who barely makes it to work that she now needs to spend 2.5 hours a day cooking fresh food and she wont be able to keep up.
@@JonathanLevinTKY A mother of three might want nothing but the best in physical and brain health for her children, and for them to avoid the common self-imposed diseases of today. Where there's a motivation, there's a way.
@@wadepatton2433 You don't have kids, do you? Its not possible to be perfect all the time and all parents try.
@@lightdark00 Thats not the point I am saying. What I am saying is that we cant have all the world progress technologically, but we take the position that food preparation has to be stuck in the Middle Ages and must take X hours a day to sacrifice. We need to leverage technology to make both healthy and easy to make.
He just talks straight without editing non stop, which proves his brain works properly. I trust the vegan diet
MMmmm progress!
I see green glasses.
Muh *vegan* snacks!
Don't I just hate the words, "we will explore next..."!
Reminds me of when I watched TV as a kid, the dreaded "To be continued..." :D
correlated with the increase in weed use
That's definitely a factor here in Canada haha :D
Watch Dr. Greger's videos on Cannabis. It paradoxically causes weight loss.
@@pdblouin lol. yeah right
@@tyronejefforeillyramirez7961 Check it out for yourself: ua-cam.com/video/FhQz7Gr5Nrs/v-deo.html
(About 3 minutes in if you're lazy)
Give me convenience or give me death!
Argh ... all I see is ears!
I haven't watched in a while, did this guy get sick of the vegan diet yet?
So if i eat whole food i won't get fat? 🤨🤔
If you're eating fist fulls of nuts then yeah, you'll get fat :D It's about the availability of these high fat foods that is a very recent change in how we eat. Without all this modern machinery even nuts would have involved more work because they needed to be shelled.
The one dislike was disliked by a 20 stone denial
Calorie dense delicious food, a recipe for disaster and obesity
first
Let me guess. Next video will be about TV propaganda and state subsidizes.
Haha maybe, that's part of the picture, but to be fair he's really more focused on evidence based nutrition. Would recommend checking out one of his lectures if you haven't already. He has a whole food plant based conclusion but focuses on analyzing the scientific literature on nutrition
Greger doesn’t look healthy at all 🤔
I hope Dr. Greger is ok, he doesn't look healthy. Undereating and no resistance training is a bad combo.
