My mom grew up in an agrarian village in rural Greece, so i know what my ancestors had been eating for hundreds (or thousands) of years. My mom's family ate one chicken from the flock per week. They foraged herbs and leafy greens. They had potatoes, olive oil, and goat cheese year around. They only slaughtered goats as the herd size allowed. So not often. They had fruiting trees too. Almonds, figs, citrus, and of course olives. They did not have cane sugar. "Dessert" was a fig with an almond in it.
That sounds so delicious & in harmony with the land & animals. Cane sugar really destroys the taste buds I find, I can't enjoy the flavours of other foods after it, but if I stay off processed food, sugar & grains, other foods start to taste better. But nothing beats the flavours & nutrients of slow growing your own fruit & veg. Oh wow, your comment has got me dreaming again of an orchard one day!
How old?
@@backtothebarky How old is what???
@@cherrieaulait... Is she or was she.
@@backtothebarky Oh you're asking how old the lady's mother is or was, as in how long ago was this lifestyle? It sounds so idyllic I hope it is still lived by as many people as possible!
Obesity was EXTREMELY rare globally… prior to world war 2. You can track an increase in obesity, heart attacks, strokes and diabetes with the progressive increase in sugar production and consumption.
I eliminated sugar and alcohol and went on the Keto diet which I occasionally switch with the carnivore diet and went from 350 pounds down to 190 pounds in a 2 year period.
You got it
That's awesome! Do you eat organ meats and marrow?
I’d argue that it wasn’t necessarily sugar, but processed food in general. Think SPAM. Think Crisco. Think preservatives, fats, and sodium laden in processed convenience foods that began in WWII not only for rationing preservation but as gender roles shifted and mixed and demanded more convenience.
These ingredients paired with sugar make sugar out to be the bad guy. Over processing is.
@@amorinooo I'd argue otherwise. As soon as I stopped consuming sugar and carbs, I see improvement on all fronts while still maintaining heavy on animal fats and sodium. Never indulged myself on preservative heavy foods to begin with
No doubt the same period was also a tremendous boom for processed foods. Abundant sugar helps processed foods, but so do "eternal oils", chemical antinutrients for food color/texture/taste/safety, and so on and so on.
The other impact of agriculture: About ten times per century, the crops in any given location fail, leading in pre-modern times to famine and mass starvation. It was such a common occurrence that only the worse famines were recorded by historians.
Nice info there, makes total sense, thanks for imparting it 👍
We could say the same about the function of modern media in regards to social and political upheaval- people only get riled up about what they're told to get riled up about, by whomever is benefiting from us being angry if you ask me. Maybe I'm being paranoid 🤔
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you.😃
Disgrunt: England did a diet study that led to the hypotheselis that half the population in the world has one micro-organism that produces calories for them in the intestines during famine and during dieting, so that they do NOT lose weight from calorie restriction like other people.
Most of those crop failures were due to *droughts.* Some of them were utterly catastrophic. The near-global drought and famine of 1876-78 is estimated to have killed off 3.7% of the world's human population. (For comparison, WWII killed about 2.7%, and Covid-19 killed about 0.1%.)
Droughts still happen, of course, but, thankfully, crops are are not as vulnerable to droughts as they used to be. That's partly due to irrigation, but it's also because of rising CO2 levels, thanks to fossil fuel use. Those higher levels reduce plants' stomatal conductance, which improves drought resilience and water use efficiency. ChatGPT did a surprisingly good job of explaining how that works:
_“In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration._
_“Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency.”_
Hunter-gathers experienced starvation on a regular basis too. Migrations change, weather affects numbers, animals have diseases, there are predator-prey ups & downs, etc.
I did a sort of keto for 7 months. I avoided processed food and drink and tried to keep carbs less than 25g per day. My only Achilles heel was alcohol. I switched to vodka soda from my go to rum and Coke. I did minimal exercise but did walk for at least 3000 steps per day. Sometimes 3000, sometimes 10k or 20k per day (made and effort to move around a lot more). I didn’t specifically exercise or do a lot of cardio. I ate almost exclusively what grew in the ground or what came from an animal (tried to stick to organic meats, not ones pumped full of steroids). I completely cut out anything with high fructose corn syrup in it. I lost around 75 lbs in those 7 months, and after I was done with that “experiment,” whenever I ate anything processed like fast food it made me feel extremely ill and was a guaranteed trip to the toilet. That was 4 years ago and I’ve kept all but 8 lbs of it off. I still enjoy food a lot and did during that entire time, just not processed garbage. It changed my life, honestly, and I feel much better today.
I refer to the vodka soda (slice of lime optional) as the 'Skinny bitch' lol.
well done, mate! glad you sorted your health out! stay healthy!
I think you might be confusing keto and paleo but otherwise congratulations!
Good for you! I would suggest the lack of foods high in sugars (fructose + corn syrup) had a larger part to play and were hard to avoid in the beginning until you learned what to look for?
I'm interested to know how you were able to identify, and therefore avoid, meats with lots of steroids?
Also, regarding the steps, I've been trying to keep then up myself. I find 3k is my bare minimum (I now feel lethargic if I haven't done 5k), 10k is about average, but how do you get 20k in??
There's a big jump to 20k steps (about 8.5miles) if you're only used to a quarter of that?? I can only do it on exceptional occasions like if I go for a nice long walk in the hills, which I really should do more
Very nice!
There is a big issue with lack of minerals in foods that are supposed to have said minerals. Many of the soils upon which our foods are grown are depleted. Farms replenish some of them through different methods, but minerals such as magnesium and zinc are not being replenished. You can grow whichever vegies are supposed to be rich in these, but if the soil lacks them the vegies do not produce them out of thin air. I believe magnesium is currently one of the minerals soils are most deficient off, and thus lacking as a nutrient in our diets.
Smart
Also iodine. 300 years ago farmers used to gather seaweeds/dead sea grass in wagonloads to add to their fields & let breakdown over winter. Replenished iodine & magnesium in the soil.
The ocean has all its minerals always.
Pee in your garden.
Magnesium and zinc absolutely are being replenished, mate, most modern industrial fertilizers have a main component, but also several micro-components which include these minerals. You can also buy natural ones, but they are much more expensive. The real reason isn't in the soil, but in the varieties we grow today - all of our food sources currently have roughly only 1/3 of the nutrients they used to have in the 50's, yet we still use spreadsheet from that period (so when a doc tells you to eat an apple, nowadays you would have to eat three in order to get the same amount of nutrients, but then you'll be ingesting a LOT more sugar as well, because that's the only component we can influence when making new varieties with bigger yields).
as a frenchman, I apologise for transfats, that is : margerine.
it was invented to ensure that napoléons troops had their butter..
Yes, but Nappoléon's so-called margarine wasn't made from hydrogenised seed oils, but from beef tallow and milk. Je sais lequel je préférerais manger. :)
Lol. This was an incredible story about one of the first attempts at making artificial butter. I saw it on a video about 6 months ago.
that margarine is fine.. its the hydrogenated seed oils that started being dumped into the food supply 100 years ago is the problem.
Why apologise? Not all margarines are made by hydrogenation. I'm seriously considering switching some of my butter to margarine made from better vegetable oil to reduce my cholesterol. I would still cook meat with butter for high temperature but spreads and baking may benefit from margarines.
@@erictayet As @adminintellidm6806
mentioned above, it's not only the hydrogenation process that is the problem, it's also the so-called "vegetable" oils (really seed oils). The body simply can't deal with them, so the long term effects can have far more devastating consequences than any amount raised LDL from saturated fat. Maybe margarine made by a natural process using olive oil could be OK...
Absolutely....just over a year in,

@@heronimousbrapson863 You'll never lose muscle on a Crnivore diet! Only if you eat carbs will this happen! Carbs and fibre are poison for humans! The human digestive system is designed to digest and derive energy from animal protein and especially animal fat.

28:25 The word 'Diet' means 'the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.' It is NOT reserved for restricting consumption.
Not SUPPOSED to be, but to most 'adherents' (see Believers In) a Diet, it's a religion.
Diet:
A: the food and drink that a person, animal, or group usually takes.
B: the kind and amount of food selected for a person or animal for a special reason (as improving health)
@@billpugh58 Isn't the japanese government involved somehow
Diet is something you do to lose or gain weight, in the case of obesity, it's actually a lifestyle change. Diets are only done for an limited time, a lifestyle change means you don't stop when you get the desired condition.
@@jumpercable20 That is a later definition of the word. The original meaning was 'the collection of food you ate'.
As soon as you mentioned the plague of processed food I got an advert for Pepsi popping up lol
😆😆
Pepsi still makes and sells a version made out of cane sugar.
If I'm going to buy a soda this is the one.
This is perhaps the most comprehensive and best explained presentation on nutrition that I've seen in a long time.
For centuries, Germany suffered with Diet of Worms. I think it was Napoleon who abolished it, and lower case diet improved too, until the era of ultra processed food.
😂
Well played!
That comment just took me back over half a century to a classroom full of 13 year old girls saying, "Eeewww, gross!!" and then giggling in response to hearing about the Diet of Worms.
😂😂😂 Good one!
Archeologist here! The Paleo "Diet" really focuses on muscle meat and while Proteins are essential for physiological needs, what is often overlooked is how much organ meat was eaten at any given time. Only in the last 40 something years we stopped eating organ meats and bone marrow in favor of muscle meats. Also the nutrient density and fibre content in modern vegetables and fruit are VASTLY different than in the paleolithic era. So the Paleo Diet is just another trend that is followed. But i love your take on the Mediterranean Diet !
Actually, most advocates of the paleo diet are also advocates of eating offal - bone broth, liver etc.
Its a shame that it is so tricky to source organs these days. Beef liver and chicken hearts is what you find in the stores here. Beef heart and marrow actually tastes really good but have to order online in bulk :(
@@fredrik1337 I'm from europe and can only say that you can get quality organ meat from butchers around here but the millenial and boomer generations are still "traumatised" from having to eat organ meats in the post war time (up to the 70ties or early 90ties depending on location) . So we're still waiting for a comeback. And I tought, that the raw meat "Carnivore" diet is seen differently to the "paleo" diet
@@fredrik1337 You could also try to get to know a local farmer or hunter. Often they are really happy when people actually want to honour the lives of their animals this way and they might even give organ meat away for free.
@@spookyghoul5078 My boomer parents fed me organ meats and I still love it! It's cheaper, too.
Perhaps the hunter gatherers got more exercise hunting and gathering?
And sunlight.. and no exhaust fumes, no highway noise, no stress from bills & clogged drains
Organic exercise. No trucks to haul around animals, primitive tools for meat cutting and processing animals, no machines to harvest fruits and vegetables, etc. Brb going off to live in the forest to become a hunter gatherer
yep!...
Being chased by a sabre toothed tiger is a good source of zone 4 cardio.
Stress was there too.. stress of survival and being preyed any time by the other predators
My diet varies by mood and season, but if I'm craving something in particular, I generally NEED it. If I crave a steak, my iron levels are low. If I crave citrus fruit, I need vitamin C. If I crave pineapple, I'm usually having digestive issues.
I've found that these cravings feel distinctly different than cravings for carbs or sugar. The latter are generally less specific and more fleeting. If I ignore them, they go away. If I ignore a nutritional craving, it only gets stronger until it's satisfied. If I find myself saying "I would kill for a steak", then I need to listen... and get a steak, because I'm not going to feel good until I do.
I get that. An understanding of the signals my body gives. My need for "oil" and "iron". My mood can swing a bit - a need for a "ration" of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate Bounty was my fave mood stabiliser for years. I am 68 and not on any tablets, I just listen to "advice" from inside me.
You’re kidding yourself. You don’t need citrus fruit or pineapple. Certainly not for vitamin C. Vitamin C requirements are met by beef alone, but if you’re eating sugar (such as that found in citrus fruits), requirements increase wildly.
The sailors that got scurvy on long trips, they were cured by citrus fruits though, right?
The officers, who lived on dried meat, never got scurvy to begin with.
maybe you are an empath. Then you may pick up desires from the people around you. As a lifelong vegetarian I got confused by a strong desire for a steak. But when you pay attention, you can localise the source. In this case a truckdriver who had been driving behind me for half an hour.
For empaths this kind of thing happens all the time. When I feel weak, at times, simply thinking of a fresh orange already improves my energy.
30% of all cures and diseases are due to placebo effect. Science ignores this to its own detriment.
Fermented foods are another really good source of B12. Early humans may have eaten partially fermenting fruits after we became upright and no longer arboreal, as we would have picked up fallen fruit. That's likely when we began developing alcohol tolerance, too.
After we became upright is such a comedy opinion.
I feel like when we started agriculture, we kinda found an unintended glitch/exploit and steered off the path ever since that.

Just a small info to add here: Mediterranean diet is also the main diet of Morocco, Lebanon, Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and France.
The Mediterranean region has 2 blue zones not only one. Apart from Sardinia, you also has the island of Ikaria in Greece.
Aren't most of those countries on the Mediterranean? They would be influenced by the same dietary norms of the area.
Check out the village in Italy where 30% of people are over 100 years old. And 30% of them are over 110. It's called Acciaroli
This guy is an ignorant and thinks mediterraean diet is only spain italy and greece.
@@randallan8158 I think the issue being highlighted is that as often as the Mediterranean diet is discussed, there is still a predisposition for a majority audience to interpret that as Italian, Greek, or Spanish (Eurocentric) while the Mediterranean region absolutely includes all the other countries the OP mentioned, it is not really accurate to suggest there are any broad 'dietary norms of the area,' in addition to the fact that island cultures, even in the Mediterranean, tend to be more insulated from outside influence and pressure.
Omnivore diet. Eat everything 😅 omg who could have guessed 😮😮😮😮
Once I started making real money. I moved to an upper-middle to upper-class area in the city. Not only did I have money to buy good food, I also had walking access to several stores like Whole Foods and a few others. I stopped looking at food prices and just bought what I felt like eating. Without any knowledge of trendy diets, I ended up basically on a strict paleo diet, but with dairy products. I can eat filet mignon and arugula drenched in olive oil, various fruits for desert with wine, for days at a time without getting board. In fact I ate that same diet for two months without a break.
There is no overdose for arugula!
My wife and I have been living on social security since we turned 62 (15 years ago) and about 8 years ago mad the transition to keto and for the last 5 years or so we have been carnivore. We have no doubt that carnivore is the most economical way of eating. No0 we do not have rib eye every day, in fact it is a rare treat. 70 cents per lb chicken hind quarters, $159 pork shoulder, $4.99 chuck roll and clod sub primals, $2.99 85% hamburger, $3.78 butter and $2 per dozen eggs allow each of us to easily eat for $5 per day. Two meals per day and sometimes one
No essential carbs. simple as that. essential amino acids (protein) and fatty acids.
I was having a conversation with a woman I didn't know when I mentioned Kinder Eggs.
The moment I said, "eggs" she became righteously indignant and told me that she was vegan and that eating eggs was wrong.
I tried to explain to her that Kinder Eggs were just egg shaped chocolate.
The moment I said, "chocolate" she yelled, "That's worse than alcohol."
Um . . . I have a question . . . Does lack of b12 cause insanity?
Edit: I really don't care whether anyone chooses to be vegan or not. This is not about veganism. This is about the fact that this women went off on an insane tangent just like many of you are doing.
Mate!! 😂😂 It must do coz kinder eggs are banging 😂
Eating eggs is why we chickens came to be and is by far the healthiest type of animal product way better than meat in virtually every way.
Strange that she as vegan says chocolate is worse than alcohol lol, it’s a fruit seed 😂I love my dark chocolate and those of higher chocolate like 90% these are bitter and only eaten in tiny bits lol. Less sugars. She need a chocolate almond milk with a good dash of rum or vodka 😂

I read an article in a science magazine probably 30 years ago written about an area studied by archeologists where people had lived continuously as hunter gatherers and then transitioned into agriculture. What they found studying their bones was that the hunter gatherers were healthier than the people who lived after agriculture. The agriculture bodies had more cavities and more signs of arthritis, and their bones were weaker.
That's what the video says. Did you watch it?
Does it matter? Healthier didn't mean longer living. Have you realized, the weaker our bones get, the longer we live? what if our bones thickening is actually bad? and we need more porous bones, more gelatinous to live way longer than necessary?

What a great thought provoking video. Really enjoyed it.
Roughly speaking, prior to 10,000 BC, large scale agriculture was not possible because it was an ice age. But it wasn’t the cold that prevented agriculture, totally, it was the lack of precipitation, due to so much of the Earth’s water being locked up in ice. Man developed agriculture at roughly the same time that the average global temperature rose to 56 degrees. This also allowed the diversity of crops to flourish, as well, with longer growing seasons (corn vs wheat). Everyone would still be eating Paleo without this change. It gave us food choices.
And life expectancy also rose most significantly, almost 50% higher from the late 1800’s, with the development of modern plumbing and the elimination of water-borne diseases, like cholers, not just medicines. We should all thank a plumber. It was because of this extended lifespan that pushed medicine into dealing with cancers, heart disease, and other old age maladies. Prior to a person’s mid-40’s, they will likely die of an accident. It’s after this, in your 50’s and beyond that you’ll likely die of disease, thus the massive expansion of the medical fields in the last 70-80 years. That, and the technology that allows better diagnosis of diseases and methods to deal with them.
Chronic illness and heart disease are caused by diet. Glycation and randle cycle activation
I have not read any of the comments, but I must say this. Carbs are NOT essential for energy .
Our ancestor's diet depended more on the season than our current diets. We have access to food that is grown thousands of miles away at its peak of freshness or packaged to last months.
Also the produce today probably looked, tasted, and differed in nutrition than what we have today. We have made Brussel sprouts more palatable within the last 20 years alone.
Our ancestors probably didn't eat three square meals a day. More likely they feasted whenever there was food and went longer periods without food than the average citizens of the world today.
Exactly. And people seem to forget that life expectancy back in the day was way WAY shorter, medicine (or medical knowledge) was not as advanced, science, technology, engineering, and so on was either limited or non-existent which made certain living conditions a lot harsher for people.

Vitamin A is absent from both vegetables and fruit as it is an animal generated vitamin, the vegetable form is beta carotene - which we have to convert into vitamin A before we can benefit from it. And vitamin C is only necessary if you eat a high carbohydrate diet, meat contains adequate amounts to balance for a low carb diet.
Very good video, I currently follow a carnivore lifestyle and shun all plant matter and have never felt better. You need to look at the effects of the anti-nutrients that all plants contain and the toxic effects of glyphosate on the human. The minimum amount of carbohydrate in the human diet is zero. Look at the Inuit's in Alaska who were in perfect health until the Western exploreres found them and introduced the western diet to them.
I recently made a change to my daily diet. And lost 25 pounds!
Previously, my typical breakfast included a raisin bran muffin or something similar, coffee, a small orange juice, yogurt, and some fruit such as pineapple, a banana, and peaches. While I was still working (I am retired now), I usually had a sandwich with cold meat and cheese on whole wheat bread for lunch. My dinner varied among beef, chicken and fish, with either pasta, rice, or potatoes and some kind of vegetables. And I usually drank milk with lunch and dinner.
I had slowly gained weight over the past 20 + years, and even though I stopped having lunch after retiring, I continued to gain weight with most of the fat gain around my middle torso.
So I decided to make a change to skipping the muffins, being high in carbohydrates, and changing to a breakfast of stir-fried onion, peppers and mushrooms, with some ham, and then cracked a couple of eggs on top, going with more protein. I also changed to Greek yogurt with no added sugar.
Dinner stayed mostly the same.
After two weeks, I lost three pounds. I then extended the list and cut out desserts, and milk, after I realized I was drinking it out of habit with dessert. I continued to lose weight and over five or six months lost 25 pounds. I didn't increase my level of exercise during this time, but continued the fairly active life I always have been.
At the same time I started to log my calories. It's hard to say that it played a part because I don't know what my old calorie count was, but it did give me a sense of control over what I was eating.
I am inclined to say cutting out the extra carbs made all the difference. And the effects were seen almost right away.
Thank you for sharing that with us. Here's what I learned about breakfast. If you eat a bigger one (almost anything, not muffin -- but like protein), then you stay full longer in the day. So, if I do that, then I am not as likely to want to really soak up calories during lunch. And, possibly, I burn it off more too. So, that might be what you are experiencing, exactly as what I have found through some experimentation. But, whatever is working for you, that's awesome. Just keep it and up, and do stay healthy in your retired years. I want you & everyone else healthy.
I am glad that you got healthy again. Yes, cutting out the fruit and milk were the biggest contributors. I have started gaining a lot of weight when I became accustom to adding whole milk to my coffee (and I would drink 4 small cups a day). And of course the fructose in fruits sticks to the body much, much longer than other sugar types do. I learned that the hard way. I lost a huge amount of weight when I stopped drinking drinks with high fructose corn syrup (I mean a LOT of weight melted off me. Drinking drinks with cane sugar does nothing to add weight to me).
I know that I should cut down on the whole milk. But I just cannot help it now. I believe that I have become addicted to the creamy coffee in the morning. Drinking plain black coffee does nothing for me except give me acid reflux
Fat doesn't make you fat, sugar makes you fat. Fat feeds your brain and prevents early dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Sugar makes your metabolism and brain activity sluggish and has a negative impact on future development and abilities in young children via epigenetics.
@@johnathanmagliari8461 Actually, I'm still eating a lot of fruit. Breakfast includes a banana, some pineapple and canned peaches. Most snacks are either an apple or an orange. What I did eliminate was yogurt with added fruit. That's where the processed sugars came from.
Fruit is a natural source of sugars and take longer to metabolize. I also added more protein so that helped keep away the hunger feeling that leads to excess eating.
@@1953bassman Well then your body can process fructose much better than mine can. I always gain a lot of weight after eating lots of fruits
I think the reason our ancestors switched from hunter-gatherers to farmers wasn't because they wanted bread, but because they wanted beer.
"Was alcohol the reason for civilization?" searched under one's preferred search engine turns up some interesting results.
Alcohol is probably the single most reason for the proliferation of the human species. And yes it is a really interesting little nugget of our history. Makes sense to me too ,how it all came about and why, ya know. Kinda hilarious at the same time ! There's this old joke about even not so good looking girls....😵💫🤪🫣
Beer was also the reason for the invention of ice hockey.
Beer was actually invented by human, surprise fact. And yes, people did farm wheat to make beer and grow grapes for wine. Alcohol was also important as it was safer than drinking water due to the poor water quality back then (bacteria, etc.)
Edit: I actually meant beer was invented by women, surprising fact

Since I switched to mostly carnivore (with some fruits and some honey) every marker of health has improved in my life. I have experienced effortless fat loss, more muscle WITHOUT increasing exercise, better sleep, acid reflux gone, less body odor, improved skin, don’t sunburn like I used to, etc.. All of this was accomplished without any calorie restriction at all. And no excessive exercise. I’ve simply eliminated grains, legumes, sugar, starchy vegetables, and I eat less fruit than I did before. I did eat everything-including pies, cookies, breads, mashed potatoes, chocolate and more during the holidays, felt like crap and gained fat on my belly. Next holiday season I will probably not eat as much of that stuff if any. I have few vegetables, mostly when I am eating with other people and they serve them. Carnivore feels right.
Just an FYI.
We do not need carbs at all. Our body can convert proteins into glucose.
Glucose is what we need which often comes from carbs.
But we need about 2 to 4 grams of glucose per day which is made by us.
Issue is people eat 200 to 500 grans of carbs per day so never get to use glucose they would make.
Running on Ketones is ideal.
You are absolutely right. But it will take the general masses a long time to realise the power of ketones. The amount of grains i would put in my diet is Zero. I enjoyed the video but adding carbs as the base of the pyramid at the end was so stupid, after all the explanation.
@@aneeshzutshi3419 grains are highly full of vitamins, they are essential, carbs only started being a problem bcs of processed food...
@Louis-kw6yk you may be right. But over half the population is insulin resistant and have metabolic syndrome and they don't even know it since the doctors never do a HOMA IR test. For them eating grains won't help. And grains have nothing so important that you can't get from better sources of vegetables and meats
That's partially correct. Gluconeogenesis can turn fat into glucose as well
You summarized everything I, as a biologist, think about what we should eat. One more things - habits are important. If we eat something different sporadically, even if it's not healthy, it's OK., as long as by habit, we eat well most of the time.
Have you ever seen what Americans eat? The tell tale sign is what is in their fridge. If you see baloney, processed cheese slices and white bread, you're in for the shock of your life. Boxed, bagged, blister packed factory foods in the freezer. Leftover containers of take out meals. Fast food wrappers in the trash. And stacks upon stacks of soda cases. Sugar water labeled as "sports drinks", gallon jugs of "juice", giant sized energy drinks, and cases of bottled water with a dose of PFAS. Eat junk foods "sporadically"? It's every meal.
it's NOT ok. Moderation is only good for good things. -Nuitritionists
almost 30 years ago, I had vocational training as a butcher and the essence of that video, was exactly what we learned back then in school!
Exactly, moderation is the key when it comes to less than healthy foods
@@goku445 I worked for a nutritionist who admonished me to eat very healthy 80% of the time and I could eat whatever I wished 20% of the time. I modified that to 90/10 . It has worked quite well. That would equal about two pizza meals a week.
This has got to be one of the most important and influential videos you’ve ever made. I was thinking of my sister who is a nutritionist, and what I was brought up eating as an Italian. I am so glad that those two things have influenced what I eat today to live a healthy lifestyle. Fantastic video!
Q: What did our ancestors eat?
A: Whatever they could get their fooking hands on.
3:15 that "urrrrgh" hahahaha. From a dieting perspective this is the best video I have seen you make.
"Scavenged Meat" sounds like a great Heavy Metal Band name.
"Lucy & The Scavenged Meat!"
I would go see that!❤
or a corn movie

With diamonds!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Meatles!"
it was really brave of you to tackle this topic. Talking about nutrition tends to end up as palatable (pun intended) as a discussion of politics or religion at any social get together with absolute strangers. Well done!!
in these times every topic turns into a poiltical dispute,sadly
Since he is presenting the facts that are backed by data and science and what he has presented isn't actually controversial, extreme or trying to challenge actual established ideas and is not refutable, what he has presented is relatively safe and not as brave as those people who are trying to change what people think about diet. I'm really glad he made this video and I think it needs to be shared as widely as possible. This should be shown in schools. Everyone needs to see this video IMO.
Only in the West I think, rest of the world don't argue about food groups that much. We might argue about the taste of food here in the Far East, but definitely not food nutrition 😂
@@Civic. yeah no,
you can argue with facts but it doesnt change much.
example?
there is only two genders.
nice pun
Don't have to look back 10,000 years, I am 71 and can remember that in my childhood everyone prepared food for themselves, home style cooking, lot's of veggies, little meat, fish on Fridays, mostly apples were the fruits then, in summer berries, Oranges for Christmas.. Bananas, Pineapples and other exotic fruits like Kiwi were unknown, mostly we drank water from the tap, coke was a no, no, in Summer home made Ice Tea... and nobody did miss anything, neither did I and still don't and XXL clothing was unknown too - what a boon time !!!
There is no bread, there is only glyphosate. Hopefully cheese is gold. Cheese saved my life, I lost 15kg and my brain rebooted with memory = on.
Interesting! What kinds of cheese do you eat and how often?
Seems like the advent of farming and consuming more bread & grain-based gruel was about the same time we invented wealth, power, land ownership, people ownership and the wealthy elite who needed large numbers of peasant laborers and soldiers. Did we start eating more bread & gruel because we liked it, or because that was the cheapest easiest way to feed our peasants?
Always the last one
The cargills, rockefellers, and rothschilds are laffing their heads off....
They’ve shown that the start of farming caused a downturn in human health. What happened was people stopped eating the wide range of foods they ate as hunter gatherers and ate cereals. They had full stomachs and had more babies which meant they needed to farm more to support the higher population which meant more babies….and the start of famines when crops failed.
A wealthy elite is a byproduct of inventing peasant labour, not the other way around.
Carbs-------->Capitalism?
IT'S ABOUT TIME they started to study this. I've been begging for this for years. I know I react differently to foods AND medications but I can't get anyone to really believe me. I'm so excited people will finally be heard.
I believe you! I believe that most people are less tolerant to the foods they eat than they think they are. As a kid, I suffered from severe stomach craps and was diagnosed with IBS. This disappeared as I grew up, but when I abstained from grains for a month I became sensitive to them again. So if I eat them now I get stomach cramps for up to 10 days. My skins also reacts severely if I eat any form of processed food. The biggest impact is on my mood, I actually 'cured' 15 years of major depression through diet. Food is so so important.
@@thecarnivorept So is psychosomatism...
Yeah, if you cured depression through fucking diet, you probably didn't have depression to behind with
@@thomgizziz sounds more like she has celiac disease to me. But I'm used to people thinking it's all in my head because they can't think outside the box. I've had several of my medical theories proven true over the years. This is just the latest one. For instance it's not in my head that I can't produce enough iron without a healthy heavily meat diet. I've been like that my whole life. My doctors couldn't decide why I was always so anemic until one had the knowledge that animal products are easier for the human body to absorb. So they finally figure it was absorption problems that can't be fixed with supplements. A LOT of what doctors call psychosomatic is just medical problems they have figured out Yet. Sadly the medical community is getting dumber through so we are going backwards in our understandings instead of looking outside their echo chambers for new answers.
@@thecarnivorept sounds like you might have celiac disease. I fight it and that sounds similar. Or it could be you have problems with oxalates.
You just made the claim that carbs are essential. The definition of an essential substance is that if it isn't in the diet, we will die. You can find a list of essential fats, and essential amino acids but I have yet to find a single essential carbohydrate.
I ate steak for 2weeks lost my belly without any exercise and started feeling confident for some reason
Chimps hunt. It's absurd to believe humans didn't begin hunting before 2M years ago.
There were no humans nor chimps (as the are today) 2M years ago.
Maybe we were a loser variant
@@SupremelyAverage Lucy (Australopithecus) would have had far more common traits with the common ape (hominid) than other hominin; yet, much smarter than them. It would be logical to think they were opportunistic hunters back then.
Chimps are modern apes, like us. Cousins, not ancestors.
Any animal is an opportunisc carnivore. But chimps aren't adapted to hunt something which isn't a small monkey. This guy is doing propaganda.
The use of fire thing has me imagining a scenario of how it developed. After a field or forest cought fire from lightening food became scarce in the area and while looking for something to eat a group came upon the burned carcass of some animal and dug in looking to see if any good parts were left and ate cooked meat finding that it tasted good. They also found over the next week that burned meat lasted longer, so they were able to forage in the buned out area longer and survived by eating the burned meat. As an aside they later saw some other animals come back and start digging in the ground to find food and found out that some roots were eatable too, especially when cooked from the heat of the fire. After that they started looking for fires and even captured some to use regularly.
They could probably smell the cooking flesh from a mile away and instinctively followed their noses thinking they might stumble upon the first Steakhouse or BBQ joint known to man! 😁
@@PudgyCurmudgeon Yes, I’m imagining a primitive ancestor thinking, “what’s that amazing smell? Why am I slobbering? We must find it and gorge!”
Watch the classic movie . "Quest for fire"
That actually sounds plausible. I've never really thought about it, but seems like the most natural way for those possibilities to have been discovered. 👍
That sounds like a possibility, but impossible to know for sure.
Important thing that should be noted. In the developed world - we now CAN obtain and consume a huge variety of foods from all over the world. Something that only kings could afford even 100 years ago. Most middle-class citizens of the developed world can build their diet to contain whatever they want of prefer. This new situation (given that old senile Joe will finally do something about the Huth'is blocking the trade routs) allows people to eat better and eat LESS food for the same nutrients.
Also it's good to note that the most "healthy" (adapted to human physiology) - culinary tradition is that of the Middle East and mediterranean.
Well done, great video. I'm well into mediterranean diet, and almost completely excluded all industrialized and processed food. All my health markers improved, and had significant weight loss. And please...don't forget to exercise, at least 5 times per week!
Diet is about 2/3rds of the solution. The other third is lifestyle choices. Get outside, walk instead of drive, get some sunlight and reduce screen and sitting time.
This and a good diet will change your life
Good sleep too which all of what you mentioned should help facilitate
Not only that, also a good mindset and mental health. This can be done by spending some time to meditate/reflect, and do mindfulness practices daily (or watch mindfulness and daily affirmation videos). There is a loneliness and insecurity crisis right now (note that "lonely" and "being alone" are not the same thing)
My eating habits changed during the pandemic...I did a loose version of keto/ paleo... drank water at every turn... sometimes every 20 minutes to every hour.
I just craved more water all the time. Less than five months, I lost weight but I didn't know, I just thought my clothes were worn out... until people started asking about it. I finally got on the scale...60 pounds lighter!
I had a new rule: for every soda I had, I had to drink two waters..and so on. Before the end of the year, I lost a 100 pounds. Still going.
You could stop drinking soda? It's basically liquid sugar.
Signs of Diabetes Type 1... drinking all the time, (rapid) loss of weight. Consider a checkup.
That makes a lot sense. If you drink 1 soda and 2 equal amounts of water you will end up drinking less soda as you end up less thirsty and less likely to reach for a soda. Just doing that can cause weight loss over period of time.
@@TheArtmin Maybe it's just the excessive water intake. You shouldn't drink a whole glass all at once in every 20 minute/hour, it just makes your kidneys work overtime, you'll pee every half hour which in turn makes you thirsty all the time. (I know because I tried this in summer to "stay hydrated".)
@@sendmorerum8241 agreed. Can't really quote that, but once i read that for better hydration water should be drank fewer times in the day but in larger quantities, instead of a cup every hour or sipped constantly. This helped me a lot. Also, knowing about electrolyte balance should too be made a common knowledge.
I do best on the carnivore diet and it isn't difficult once you break all your addictions and become full fat adapted.
I'm on carnivore diet for 10 months . It was best decision for eating I'm my life. I've lost 25 pounds and don't have joints pain anymore. My mind is clear and digestion smooth.
Nice video, thanks !
In 2021 the onset of an autoimmune condition diabled me. Over the next 6 months I gained 60 lbs. I went carnivore and dropped 40lbs immediately. Then I plateaud and couldn't lose anymore weight for a year. I increased my healthy carbs and decreased the saturated fats in meats by switching more to fish. Also, increased my cardio. The weight has started dropping again. Thanks for posting. The animation was great and you have a way of speaking that makes everything understandable.
Good job. 🤝
If you do get in trouble again,
look into saltwater fasting.🙏
The issue of plateauing is caused by your protein to fats ratio. If you are obese or overweight with body fat, then you must adjust that ratio. Carnivore Diet is a ratio of 2:1 fats to proteins. You must reduce fats to 1:1 or even less. The body must still get fats to signal there is plenty available and to have the body not store any and to tap into your fat stores to burn as fuel. What carbs you consume should be from some vegetables and a few key fruits for Vit. C. Not from grain products. Not from fruits. Not from starches! These all lead to fat storage and fatty liver disease. Your weight dropped again due to cardio. Without it, carbs should not be consumed in higher amounts and regularly. That is a fact.
Carnivore for the win.
fat in meat is good. ask an eskimo.. jorden peterson & his daughter, only eat meat, . she had some bad problems, but now, fiddle fit.. sugar, coke, carbonation, bad.
@@harrywalker968 you only have to look in the comments of any Carnivore video to see the wealth of positive reports from people who have had success with it. No one is paying them, they have no agenda, they are just elated with the results. I love a bit of Thoughty2 but I genuinely feel that this video is already out of date. Meat is the species specific diet for Humans.

I've been following this for the last 3 years. The only thing I'll disagree with is there is a 0% requirement of carbs in your diet. I still eat some, don't get me wrong, but even in the absence of carbs, your liver will make glucose. Just look into gluconeogenesis. You could live your whole life with no carbs but you can't live your life without fat or protein. Truth.
One last comment, I have been a vegan for over 30 years. When I was a meat eater I had bad hart palpitations, asthma, an I notice I was vascular. My brother always complemented me on my bulging veins. It was not a good thing. I also got sick with terrible colds. Now I am 60 year old and with all of there stress I get, I still do not need any drugs to stay healthy.
8 months, only meat. Pure carnivore. Diabetes cured, high blood pressure normalized, all aches and pains gone, sleep like a rock, anxiety gone, and on and on... Oh, and 40 lbs gone in first 3 months then stable for 5 more months.
Thank you! Been looking for this comment from someone.
Now you now why some people want to take away our natural diet.
Veganism is pushed like crazy these days 😢
Well done. 👍
It's called an eliminate diet.
How does a normal day of eating only meat look like?
I'm only eating veg when there no fatty meat available... It has been a huge positive for my health.
Unsolicited promotion/endorsement: This past Christmas, my son gave me a book that had been on my wish list, and I've finally gotten around to reading it. It's "Stick a Flag in It: 1,000 years of bizarre history from Britain and Beyond." It's a well-written history, delivered with humor and style. And until I looked more closely at it, I had not realized that it was written by none other than the selfsame Thoughty2, Arran Lomas. I had to mention it in this comment because ... well - Well done! And I didn't see anywhere else on your channel to post my reaction.
There are no Essential carbohydrates. Liver makes glucose for all carb needs. Fatty acids and amino acids ARE essential.
There’s no such thing as a bread deficit, unless you’re starving and don’t have anything else.
Correct, no carb is needed whatsoever
There are no essential animal products either. This is very poor logic.
Oligosaccaharides are a must for the immune system to attach to infected cells and remove them. Oligosaccharides are exogenous and not made by gluconeogenesis, once they are in the system they serve numerous important immune purposes.
Pretty sure I'm permanently shadowbanned on this account, but ethics aside, we are designed to eat meat. Try sous vide... a great way to cook meat, with a cast iron pan and propane torch to finish.
Whew those blue zones man, mostly everyone wakes up at the crack of dawn and start work, stop working after 12pm, have lunch and then take their naps, Wake up at like 2-4 pm then hang out with family/friends until dinner time. Man that sounds wholesome 😊.
Sounds like a bunch of lazy bums who value life over money.
yeah thats like.. why arent we all just doing that? lol
The blue zone diet is 90% plant based with the remaining 10% being mostly eggs. A lot of meat eaters seem to deny this fact.
Wrong @@lawrencetrujillo7365
less stress. stress is proven to increase the risk of heart attacks, and our modern work culture, as well as what it takes to live nowadays has become more stressful. i started noticing it when younger people were hired in the workplace. instead of socializing or having a good time on 3pm some of them would just work a 2nd job
Whether you are eating Paleo or Mediterranean it's important to remember that today's fruit, veggies, apples, and even meat are not the same or as nutritious as they used to be a few hundred years ago. Even between countries and continents the nutritional value of the food is different... So keep that in mind, when you are eating a piece of cheese in the US vs eating 'the same piece of cheese' in Italy or france. The food items may have the same names but that does not mean they have the same nutrition value within. Also, personally I think supplementing with minerals is important.
another correction, coconut oil is a saturated fat... but calling meat saturated fat is a misnomer ... for instance a ribeye is only 45% saturated fat, the rest of the fat is unsaturated .
The industrial bred animals people eat also don't get B12 naturally, which is from the soil, but is supplementet through their foodsource.
Thank you 🙏
B12 is made in the rumen of ruminants , so long as they have sufficient cobalt. Most soil B12 is from animal poop. Even humans poop out b12.
That’s true. My Mrs eats a fair bit of meat, and she ended up with the worst case of b12 deficiency her doctor had ever seen. She was hallucinating like crazy, a few shots in the arm and back to normal. Did a lot of research and had to cringe a little when he spoke of b12 in the video. He concluded that it was only available from animal foods throughout history, but it’s said that the b12 source for our ancestors would have been untreated water, and unwashed fruit and vegetables, as well as some meat. Don’t forget that huge amounts of meat wouldn’t have been available to them, as it is to us today. Modern day sanitation is mainly what’s causing the deficiencies.
@@razzledazdazzle our ancestors were nearly carnivorous. The animals that don't get B12 in diet don't rely on water and diet, they eat their own poop. There's absolutely no evidence early humans got anything but trivial amounts of B12 from water and soil. Does your wife have pernicious anemia? If so, that means no matter how much B12 she eats she'll never get enough. She can't absorb it.
That's why free range and cage free eggs and chicken is better. But due to greed and captalism, corporations want to push out more profit an so they do whatever makes them the most money fast
They should seriously be showing this video in public schools
then how would they program people to eat bugs and fruit loops
its sorta correct. but society, gov,s rule your brain, plus mainstream thinking.. offal, is good, heart, liver kidney, ect.
@husher5142 combine them, obviously. "Critter loops"...
the government wants you to eat bugs, so its not gonna happen.
seriously? teach this in schools?
you must think that the schools are there to educate the kids.
they are not there to do that.
they are there to indoctrinate the kids in a lot of bullshit ideas.
p.s. totally agree with you, of course. our modern diets are killing us slowly, but steadily.
It should be clearly noted that Mediterranean diet does not mean have pizza or pasta everyday. Have this more occasionally. Go for vegetables, fish, meat, cheese, nuts and olive oil instead with only small amounts of fruit.
I would agree to most of this, but.
Carbs are NOT essential to us, we make glucose from fatty acids if not eaten.
But over all, good research done here!
Proteins not only do the things mentioned here, but they are also needed in order for our body to construct DNA and RNA. A cell dies. Another cell divides. It needs to duplicate the DNA that is in its nucleus. First it has to construct nucleic acids. To do that it needs amino acids, which come from the breakdown of proteins.
You also need folate and many other things for proper DNA replication....plants a a good source of folate in general...
And amino acids do not need to consumed at the same time.
But if you want a balanced amino acid, peanut butter on whole wheat bread.
@@TeddyRumbleYep. Back in the mid '70s when I first tried vegetarianism, a lot less was known about how we process the food we consume. And for the most part it was highly recommended to combine legumes and grains together and not four or five or more hours apart. Now it's known protein complementing can be hours apart daily.
BTW. What got me into vegetarianism was the book "Diet for a Small Planet"-Frances Moore Lappé. It was a bestseller.
@@8sun52 Same here. My first love was very much into "back to the land" things.
Agriculture is not just about grains. Pulses, herd animals, greens, tallow, milk, butter, fruits and tubers provide the nutrients that grains don't. Look at the hunzas and the people Weston A. Price studied.
Excellent point. The idea that “agriculture” means grains only is wrong thinking.
I’ve been watching this channel since it launched years ago and I am amazed at the amount of research that goes into each one. Thank you so much for cramming years of data and knowledge into a short enjoyable video
Evolution? That explains why sharks now have legs.
Congratulations. A really good sensible, no nonsense video on food for health. Excellent summary of current understanding of "diet".
Switched to full carnivore after 40yrs of eating like a normal person. Took a while but I feel way better. Gained muscle and lost internal and external fat.
I don't need deodorant anymore either, no gas or bloated feelings like on regular foods. My hair got darker as well... Anyway.
Also should add that I have some American Indian heritage so maybe that has something to do with me being more sensitive to grains and dairy.
They did a study using two men, for a year, in 1929-1930, in which these ate only meat. Their health actually improved. I was reminded of it because it was mentioned on a recent episode of The Doctors, whose medical panel poo-pooed the study, based solely on its being nearly 100 years old.
These 2 guys were Norwegians. Basically all humans are meat eaters. We function well on just meat and poorly on just catbs.
My story is identical to yours. And today is a day 59 for me being on carnivore. The Mediterranean diet is an absolute bullshit scam. It is not the best diet to be on. One should not be eating greens. So the student needs to take his Mediterranean diet and shove it up a stupid ass.😅
I started carnivore 6 months ago when I stumbled upon it by chance. Within 3 days, my right hip stopped hurting. I wasn’t trying to lose weight but I dropped 50 pounds. I think I look scrawny but my doctor says my weight is ‘perfect’.
I started carnivore a month ago after spending most of my adult life being vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian . Feeling better already but I have a long way to go to be healthy
In the Meditteranean the olive oil is likely to be unadultered, the bread home or locally baked with stone ground flour, the pasta homemade, the tomatoes and other veg locally grown and eaten according to what grows in that season. The acquisition and preparation of the food takes time and energy and is very fresh when consumed. The food is enjoyed in a leisurely manner, sitting outside, around a table, in the sun, with family and friends. Most of the diners will have been physically active for hours before a meal, have a siesta afterwards and then physically work for more hours The fish and meat is not commercially acquired from large trawlers or factory farms that grain-feed animals and then slaughter highly stressed animals which meat then contains stress hormones. Yes, the basic diet is good but the lifestyle plays a very important part; being active, being outside in fresh air and in the sun, spending time with family and friends, resting when necessary.
Delightful & informative! Thanks! Well done!
The Nº1 Rule of Nutrition: There is no such thing as an "essencial carbohidrate"
🧢
Based
Carbohydrate is how it's spelled
You showed our ignorance when you misspelled multiple words. Carbohydrates are essential as its the brain's and muscles of the body's primary fuel source. If you want your body to break down muscle and convert it into carbs for energy, be my guest.
@@michaelmorrill4780 No, the body needs GLUCOSE, not carbs. The body can still make glucose when needed in the absence of carbs.
Only one issue i Have with this Video. The Vitamin K. Theres actually a vitamin K2 that we require much more than the K1 found in leafy greens that arent actually bioavailable and full of pesticides( these leafy greens are on the dirty dosen list). Vitamin K2 is found in RED MEAT and fermented vegetables as well as in some dairy. The K2 deficiency is now believed to be one of the major causes of arterial plaque build up. The K2 is required to control Calcium placement in the bones and teeth but since we lack it. Calcium ends up building up in micro lessions in the arteries walls caused by inflamation.
Well said. This is one of the main issues that's not recognised enough, for the reason behind heart attacks. Calcium build up in arteries is a major issue and K2 can regulate that perfectly. K2 naturally found in red meat.
There is more to it. Bacteria produce only MK7 form, that is not bioactive. We need MK4 that is synthesized only by animal tissue. So you can NOT get K2 from plants like fermented soy, natto. You can only get bioactive vitamin K2 MK4 from animal food - meat, eggs and dairy.
Then why is there a positive correlation between red meat consumption and heart attack and heart failure? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm curious.
As you pointed out, K2 can be obtained from eating certain fermented vegetables, so eating meat is not needed to get all the K2 needed for optimal health. Red meat is a probable carcinogen, and has high levels of saturated fat leading to increased Cardiovascular disease (CVD.) Our ancestors did not live as long as we do today, and populations who eat basically nothing but animal products today live about 10 to 20 fewer years than others in the same country. For example, the Inuit of Canada who live 10 fewer years and the Maasai of Tanzania who live 20 fewer years.
@@Dave.O This is a myth put out by the food industry / big pharma scam and Vegans. Don't take my word for it Google it.
I've tried paleo and keto. But my cholesterol (ApoB) soared. Now I eat a legume-heavy, zero gluten grain (only steel cut oats) version of the Mediterranean, which has a lot of natural fiber. Daily fish and lots of vegetables. Smaller portions of meat and chicken.
I would think we don’t really need unsaturated fats because they are not readily available unless you eat some seasonal nuts, some coconut/avocados (live in the tropics) and some fish (live on the coast). The vast majority of people don’t. Saturated fats are only a problem when consumed with complex carbohydrates.
Love this. Been research this for years for a hobby. Also it is believed first grain farming was not only to consume grain but fermented grains. So beer came before bread. Great work very well explain and totally agree with everything explained in this video. Keep up the great work on this amazing channel.
Ive been studying life spans, nutrition, disease and outcomes for 40 years. Literally. its been a life long obsession and we are not designed to eat seed oils, except in nuts and seeds - in tiny amounts. Only carbs we should be eating is long life root veg, brassicas such as cabbages etc and meat and meat fats, including organs meats. Skeletal meats are quite low in nutrition compared to organ meats. Its no accident organ meats were frequently prescribed as medicine before modern medicine.!
Also, pancakes preceded bread. Building an oven is not only a lot more work, it also can't be carried around like a pan or thin, small slab of rock can if one is migrating.
Two months ago, I made a significant shift in my dietary habits, opting for nutrient-rich foods like eggs, chicken, fish, beef, nuts, whey, and casein instead of highly processed or fast foods, I also switched to strictly drinking water only (yes i should be eating more fruits) but nonetheless, the results have been remarkable: not only do I feel less depressed, but I'm also more motivated to engage in regular workouts. Surprisingly, I've noticed a considerable improvement in my body's ability to metabolize stored fats, allowing me to achieve faster weight loss. At the gym, my energy levels have soared, enabling me to burn approximately 1500 calories per session compared to struggling to reach 600 previously. As a bonus, I've experienced muscle gain alongside weight loss. It's truly astonishing what happens when you nourish your body properly.
@coomerkiller your music taste is highly processed lol. Whey and casein comes from milk, it's enzymes being added to separate the curd from the liquid to make Whey and Casein. its not difficult to read between the lines here in their comment, its obvious to understand they've taken out foods like chocolates, bakery products like muffins and cakes when talking about "highly processed". also you're assuming their gender...
you dont need the fruit anyway😉
Polyunsaturated omega 3 ALA and omega 6 LA are both essential fats found in plants. There is no essential saturated fat, meaning we can make them from ALA and LA. Also nuts and seeds have a small amount of saturated fat.
Jordan Peterson eats only fatty beef and he is thriving. It has everything we need.
I am a DC who practiced for over 30 years in the U.S. and Europe. I agree with the Mediterranean Diet., including red wine (and a little white doesn't hurt). I would also argue that Westerners (Central Asians, included) adapted to grain and dairy. The concerns with Gluten are overblown and based on ideas and conditions of East Asian populations that never adopted the use of dairy. The use of genetics to fine-tune the individual diet is a fantastic development that I hope will not be available only to the wealthy, but become a common diagnostic and treatment tool in medicine, as well as for alternative practitioners such as chiropractors and naturopaths, who do not shun the Western die (whereas acupuncture, Vedi, medicine, does).
I've never felt or looked healthier than now, aged 32, having had three kids. I've cut out gluten, oats, dairy, refined sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. I avoid seed oils but they are in everything. My weight is great, I've got a 27inch waist, my menstrual cycle massively improved after cutting dairy, and my mental state has also hugely improved. I eat meat, fish, veg, fruit, some legumes, some rice, rice noodles, potatoes, some gluten free pasta, nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut products, avocado oil, and maple syrup. I fast most days for between 14 and 20 hours, always skipping breakfast, and I try to get enough sleep. Thanks for making this video! The world of ancestral eating is fascinating.
What's your take on the recommendation for 14/10 instead of 16/8 fasting for women? Sounds like you thrive on longer fasting. Do you think it's highly individual?
Dairy wasn't the cause of you being fat
There is a reason in the hospitals they get you to eat vegetables to get better, instead of meat.
@@dealarrNon sequitur. They aren't feeding you vegetables because they are full of the required nutrition, but because they are cheap.
If you look up nutrition profiles of food and the required nutrients of humans, you can get everything you need from a ruminant like a cow or sheep. Vegetables and plants in general provide incomplete or less available nutrients. Requiring you to eat a lot more to get the same nutrient level.
Add to that, the fact that a majority of vitamins are fat soluable and it becomes necessary to eat fat in you diet in order to absorb the nutrients properly. You aren't getting that from broccoli.
Nothing wrong with eating veggies, but they are not a good main source in nutritional health if you do any amount of research beyond confirmation bias.
@@PFirefly06 While the cow thing is technically true most of the really nutritional stuff is found among the offal, which a lot of people can't stomach these days, if they can even get their hands on it, in the first place.
The only bad thing about this video is it isn't still translated to lots of languages, because if so it would reach more people.
Thanks, dude.
AI could do it already, give a few more months for it to go mainstream...
@@viktorianas The AI that made the subtitles for this on it's own and consistently talks about the consumption of musical instruments, rather than a group of vegetables?
@@vrenak listen... the AI used in UA-cam is light-years behind current cutting edge neural network based AI aka chatGPT 4 and similar.
Cool beans! Great content and a wonderful host! Thank you Thoughty2 for your insights in to many things! Appreciate the straight forward opinions you share. Keep up the good work!
Lactose is not a problem.
Everyone who is a funtional mammal can digest that sugar just fine.
The milk allergy is A1 protein almost entirely found in Holstein cow milk, whereas older varieties of cows produce A2 protein which is non-allergenic, or much less so.
Best video on diet I have ever seen and I've seen plenty. Thank you t2 🎉
...then I would recommend you watch a few more.
What a video!.... never seen somebody cover this highly sensible topic (nowadays) in a more professional way than you just did. Thanks!
Astonishingly clear and simple.....today I learned, I thank you.
I don't follow any strict diets, and I don't really see the point in doing so for myself. I generally just eat whatever I feel a craving for, with some logic applied. My cravings for sweets are a little unreliable for obvious reasons, but my actual food cravings are actually a really good indicator for me in what I need. Because it always seems to rotate between (and be a combination of) lean meats, fresh veggies, whole grain bread, nuts and seeds, unprocessed red meat, eggs and small amounts of dairy. I also crave 2-3 litres of water per day, depending on how much I sweat.
So I'm the kinda person who gets random cravings for chicken salads and whole grain sandwhiches loaded with ham and veggies on the regular, so I highly doubt it's a bad method for me to just go with the "cravings diet" basically. My body is pretty good at telling me what I actually need, and I can typically feel it when I'm low on protein, fibres or vitamin C at the very least.
While I do tend to like some well cooked rice, potatoes and pasta as well, I don't feel a need to eat much of these kinds of things, so I treat them more like fillers, to soften a spicy stew or break up the monotony of a salad. So 70-80% of my diet ends up being meat and veggies. I seem to be especially prone to vitamin B deficiency, which might explain why I crave so much meat in my diet. Also I really hate processed foods. So in actual practice it does end up being some kinda in-between the paleo diet and the miditerrainian diet. That said though I do admittedly eat a bit too much cake and soda, and I do put too much butter in my food, and for that I do suffer the consequence of a very slow but steady weight gain (on average I gain 1-2 pounds per year.) Although that probably could be mitigated if I just moved my ass every once in a while lol.
So my diet as a whole is far from perfect, but it's not from a lack of knowledge, I think. From all the research I've done, it seems I do know pretty well what is good vs bad for me to eat, and follow it to a prettu great extent, but that I'm just not perfect in my actual execution of it. But I mean... who is? The discovery of sugar (beyond fruits and berries) was probably the worst thing to happen to the human diet over all, imo. That, and transfats as you mentioned in the video.
That said, I don't actually care if other people choose to be vegatarians or vegans. That's on them and just not any of my business. But personally I don't feel like I could survive very long on such a diet, with my seemingly high risk of getting vitamin B deficiency and my crazy craving for meat.
As for vitamin supplements I do take some, but only some basic multivitamins to actually supplement whatever I may be missing from my diet. Because I only eat once, sometimes twice a day, it's not easy to make sure I get quite the right amounts of everything, and I don't wanna obsess over counting everything. And those vitamin pills do seem to help with filling in the gaps. But I agree one shouldn't rely solely on those while eating a bunch of garbage.

Been a sub for a while now, but it just occurs to me to compliment you on your presentation talent. You would probably make an excellent lecturor, public speaker, master of ceremonies, or commentator in real life or any platform, really. Great job on this! it was so detailed but it was a pleasure to focus in deep on the subject with you, and I look forward to whatever the next topic will be! Thanks!
There are no essential carbs.
been eating basically paleo over 10 years. eating organ meats and bones is very important for vitamins and minerals. i eat approximately 75-80% animal products, and the rest in carbs from berries, fruit and tubers. any more than that and i start gaining weight (fat) again. if you're going to consume dairy, i'd check in with the raw milk guys.
Red wine contains so little resveratrol you’d need to drink gallons for an effective dose. Regular wine drinkers use this as an excuse to have a glass every night and tell themselves it’s metabolically beneficial when recent and past studies show their is no single benefit to alcohol consumption
Resveratrol in wine may be overegged, but socially drinking a little wine is great for lowering cortisol and building bonds. Both of which are great for increasing life spans.
Darn, you destroyed my excuse to drink wine. Now I have to drink more to increase my resveratrol.
I remember reading an article years ago that Hunter gatherers would raid mice nests to gather seeds so it seems carbs were part of the diet of our Neolithic ancestors. I wouldn’t be surprised if this practice is what led to wheat and rice agriculture. But an overdose on any given food type, especially processed carbohydrates, isn’t a good thing.
Plus grapes are one of the most heavily sprayed fruits in the world. But no one likes to mention this.

16:08 this is such an important detail most people but especially vegetarians/vegans tend to brush this under a rug ..
1) the amount is important and we rarely eat too much protein ..
2) WHICH protein we eat is very important due to bioavailability and since we need more than just one specific one provided in plenty by one specific plant (to make it easy .. imagine it as vitamins .. if you have plenty of vitman C but a deficiency in vitamin D .. putting in more vitamin C won't help you at all .. and meat is the multivitamin of proteins while plants tend to provide far less bioavailable protein and especially those we lack in far too low amounts)
The "canines" are adapted to tearing and chewing fibrous root vegetables. They are mis-named and their use is not related to how canids use their teeth.
Well, let's hope we develop a way to digest man-made plastics soon... Sure would be quite the miracle.
We can transform plastic into bricks. Why we haven't done this to make roads out of is beyond me. Think about it. Doesn't break down. No more pot holes. That alone I'm in
@@dmo848 not all the plastic can be recycled thus creating road bricks using recycled plastic isn't effective, why you ask well imagine we create road bricks using plastic and of the brick get damaged now not all of that can be recycled thus creating more plastic byproduct waste, now imagine how much plastic would we need to create road bricks for the whole world and the damages they'll acquire throughout the years and when the time comes to replace them where the plastic waste go ?
@@dmo848plastic does break down.
Besides the comment it’s talking about our bodies digesting all the micro plastics we put in our bodies.
@@user-kd3vj3bm8l It can all be recycled, the problem is that there are different plastics and they can't be mixed in the recycle process. Recycling does make it weaker but not so weak that you couldn't use it for bricks.
We want to do the opposite of that, digesting them will give no benefit and only create more problems.
