FAT: A Documentary 2 is the sequel to the international sensation that delves deeper into the lies and myths surrounding the age old question: "What should I be eating?" "Common knowledge" regarding healthy eating has grown more and more confusing seemingly by the day. Vinnie Tortorich and a host of health experts talk about the conflicts between plant eaters and meat eaters and how hidden machinations in the food industry are the reasons why we believe what we do about food and optimal health.
Since I removed most things from my diet that comes with a label of ingredients and ate mostly only fruit, vegs, proteins and saturated fats... My migraines completely disappeared. I now believe labelled ingredients foods are poison for the most part.
@@tripendicular I think you need to know that the body processes natural compounds differently than pseudo food. Its like comparing Ephedrine to Pseudoephedrine,
Year ago I started keto then gradually went to carnivore. I’m 6 months in and: - my arthritis pain is gone - my blood pressure is perfect (was on 2 meds) - depression is completely gone! (Was on 4 meds)🤬 - my hair grew back and became shiny and healthy - I don’t need skin products anymore because I got my skin glow back (occasionally use tallow I make my self) - no deodorant needed whatsoever - sense of smell, hearing and vision improved!!!! - lost 37lb of fat and 0lb muscle - have energy of 30 year old (I’m 61 female) - couldn’t walk without pain around 2 blocks, NOW 3,5 miles every morning - couldn’t lift 20lb on the leg weight machine, NOW working out with 120lb!…. - couldn’t do extra gentle yoga without taking Alive, NOW 4 yoga, 3 Pilates and 2 Barre classes per week!! Just got extended lab tests done. My doctor is speechless! She said, I haven’t seen anything like that in my years of practice! I’m optimal 30 year old by results. I rest my case! 💪😆❤️❤️
This was a GREAT documentary series!! I've been eating low carb (the majority of the time) for the last 15 years, after discovering the Atkin's diet when I was obese. Very little sugar and grains, mostly protein, fat and some veggies. I'm 61, and am one of the few people I know not on any meds. Things are definitely shifting. Less people think I'm crazy for my eating habits now, lol.
Protein and fat are not foods… They are macronutrients… don’t equal protein to meats, they are not the same, and fat can be very harmful if eaten wrong fat.
I am absolutely a sugar addict and was raised to be one. Once I realized that and treat myself as such it completely changed my relationship with food!
Sugar lowers your hunger, so you dont know your real hunger. Sugar kills you taste sensation, everything is less or more sweet. People must teach real basic tastes again.
@@m33265I've avoided sugar for three years, it was given to me in a coffee, I couldn't drink it, it tasted foul, before that I used to have three in my coffee. Amazing how your taste buds do change.
@@m33265I’m sorry, but that’s BS. Carbs and especially sugar make you more hungry. If you eat a fatty steak, you get full, you probably can’t even finish it, if you eat carbs and sugar you can go right on eating all night with no end in sight, feeling cruddier and cruddier, then even sick the next day.
@@LoriDRBlake You are righ, I am wrong. Of course sugars rise your hunger. Again ang again, rise your insulin, you became insulin resistant, gives you tons of energy and no nutrient value at all or very small amount, malnutrition is next part of obesity problem. Who wants to loose weight must eat themselve again by nutrient dense food with almost none or none carbs at all. Carnivore diet is best version of keto diet, iam in for 3 months. Carbs (all, pastas, bakery, starch, fructose... ending in blood as higher sugar) will make you fat, fat (yes, animal fat, same as your own) will make you loose weiht. Because in fact loosing weight is only allowing your body to burn your own storage fat whenever you body goes out of energy in blood, high insuling or high blood glucose stops burning fat as energy source (" Randle Cycle", insulin for example blocks enzyme allowing triglycerides release from fat cells back to blood to give body energy). Big drop of energy after cleaning excess glucose from your blood stream by insulin causes big hunger again and again. Fat loss = take control above insulin back by eating right food, fat. Teach your body again burn fat. From diet or your own storage. Good way to start is eat a lot of quality butter, from real milk. Lot of saturated fat and very low or no lactose (milk sugar). So avoiding carbs of any kind leads to weight loss, carbs are cause of obesity, high clucose in blood is damaging your vascular system etc. etc. Stop carbs, eat more fat instead, but do it slowly, fat adaptation takes weeks, your sugar loving gut bacteria will not be happy to die. Cholesterol lies, you need fiber (lie, next polysacharide) etc. etc. Fat will give you more stable energy, stable insulin, lean people have insulin under control, some people naturally produce not enough insulin to even became fat, can eat what they want all day long and have problem to became fat, the cant. Being lean on other side doesnt guarantee beeing metabolically healthy, especially fructose (glucose-fructose syrup) makes fatty liver. Good way to start loosing weight is find video "butter makes you pants fall off" on youtube.
Universities grade on a bell curve. They care about money not making the normies smarter. They only need a small portion of intelligent people to exploit and trust me they are not the ones studying nutrition. Education is becoming more useless by the minute.
Years ago, a medical journal article stated that one of the major causes for alcoholism is the craving for sugar, and many alcoholics are firstly diabetic/pre-diabetic!🎉😮
I started working on becoming carnivore last octoberish, and was a heavy drinker 7-12 standard drinks, 6-7 days a week. I did a 10 day cruise in December and bought 5 alcoholic drinks. I have a situational desire to drink, but no physiological need to drink. I now have to force myself to finish a bottle of red wine and have thrown it out. So I came to the same conclusion, get rid of the carbs, get rid of the desire (mostly) to booze on.
@@Tom_and_Lulu Get rid of fructose too, especially glucose-fructose syrup. It goes thru same metabolic pathway in liver like alcohol, therefore todays obese children with fatty liver overfed by fructose. You cant overat by protein or fat. Body can reject these thru your poop. Eggs as source of "bad dietary animal cholesterol", body knows exactly how much animal cholesterol needs, if you will not give it by diet, will make some in liver, if you give too much, will make nothing sending this dietary cholesterol to your poop. You cant have bad level of cholesterol, its almost impossible. In fact, alcohol = carbs.
I turned to alcohol in stressful times and particularly after my daughter died many many many years ago. It took two attempts to put it down. When I came out of rehab I ate tonnes of bread for the first month, second month pasta and third month chocolate. I didn’t realise the dangers of what alcohol could do re insulin OR this 3 month binge that kept me off the alcohol. I mean i ate alot in the evenings!!! I was satisfying my sugar cravings!!! Then I suddenly just stopped doing it and turned to Banting diet. Obviously I agree with you. I’m carnivore now, well actually lion diet for the last week as I seem to still be having issues with a slightly elevated insulin. This could be menopause.
@@theantiqueactionfigure In 60's were book written about red meat healing effects. Try today gain some money for keto research, of any kind. All big pharma will refuse to give you money on this research, they know "no sugar life is much healthier".
I'm a sugar addict on my way into keto to get rid of all the damn symptoms of inflammation, brain fog, low energy,... So it depends on where people are on their sugar journey.
The documentary made good points - however, the annoying music playing in the background throughout the video was too much of a distraction for me to want to follow through to the end of it.
You can cook a healthier hamburger and design a healthy drink from home...preparing homecooked food and eating lots of fruits and vegetables stay away from takeout food, pizza etc and you are way ahead of the game and also cheaper
Except, veggies not so much fruit. Blackberries, blueberries, sure those are good. But you really want green. Cucumbers, broccoli, chard, that good ol' green stuff, that's what will make you feel great. Cooking at home gives you so much power.
Ppl have to make a conscience decision to change their lifestyle. In order to change what they eat. To choose healthy foods and exercising has to become a habit.🙏🌹🌹
problem is that most don't know what healthy is because what is missing and the main issue aren't the companies and industry but the lack of health educational classes in school. people don't know white rice and white flour is basically sugar, they don't know eating grapes is as bad as eating chocolate
Like I commented on part 1- EVERYONE SHARE THIS VIDEO! Diagnosed with cancer and major depression. I was addicted to sugar for years. I am off sugar and grains. Withdrawal was terrible, but the alternative is worse. PET scans use glucose because cancer cells attract it. That absolutely horrified me. I have cut sugar and processed foods. After a meal, I might have some berries. My glucose levels are stable and I am less hungry. Good luck everyone!😊
Eating animal products only got rid of all my perimenopause symptoms within 3 months, I graduated into menopause a year and a half later with ease. My doctor wanted me to stop eating this way and go on hrt because my ldl went up, I refused as my triglycerides and hdl were perfect. My skin is fantastic and a big age spot / liver spot I had on my face for years disappeared.
There's an underlying cause for this, in the way sugar - and insulin - changes the brain, the hunger hormones, the behaviour,.. No one has a problem to eat olive oil in moderation, because olive oil doesn't do these things.
After eliminating all junk food and ultra-processed items from my diet for nearly three years, I found myself grappling with prediabetes despite my significant weight loss. The situation was baffling until further research directed me to a plant-based diet-a concept I initially found off-putting. As someone who was raised on a meat-centric diet, the transition to veganism felt inconceivable. However, embracing this change has been transformative. I am no longer prediabetic, and my doctor is consistently amazed by the condition of my 46-year-old body, which rivals that of men half my age. My annual lab results are exceptional, with metrics such as an LDL level of 33 and a resting heart rate of 47. I experience remarkable energy levels and the only supplement I take is Vitamin B12. Contrary to claims of constant hunger, I struggle to eat more than two meals a day-something I could never have imagined during my previous meat-heavy diet. This video’s portrayal of veganism is fundamentally flawed and misleading.
So true, when i actually thought about my childhood where we ate out maybe one or at most two times on the weekends I was kinda shocked. I was eating two meals a day out as an adult. 1. Such a waste of money 2. So unhealthy which funnily enough will be very expensive in the future. I cook at home basically exclusively now.
In fact cooking of food is bad. Denaturates proteins, destroys some vitamins. Raw eggs, raw red meat. Best way to eat. And body have no problem fully digest such food, no products of frying etc at all. Worst food of all are fryied carbs in seed oil - fries.
I started seriously cooking 131 days ago when I started carnivore. Even changed my cookware to easy clean ceramic. I throw away one little package a day. My ingredients are one.
I discovered Atkins way back when, and following that strategy melted my excess body fat so effectively that I was shocked. But I added carbs back and over the ensuing years my weight went back up. I retired in 2017 and discovered keto. Now, I've been on a very low carb diet for years and I'm slim, medication free, healthy, and active. Hunger is controlled effortlessly, no urge to snack. My only complaint these days is the monetized content on UA-cam about keto. Too many voices focused on making a living via follower counts.
I eat Keto and I check my glucose levels daily and it went down very fast. That means it works to fight insulin resistance. Why take medication for a desease when a diet change heals it? I don't want to depend on meds that only surpress symptoms then curing the causes for it. Our Keto/Carnivore community can proof that this diet works as we monitor our metabolic datas.
I agree with you once a person becomes metabolically. Until then, though, going keto or even low-carb reduces insulin levels which allows your body to burn your body fat for energy, thus avoiding hunger while losing weight. Helped me to lose 80 lbs, so admit I’m biased in favor of avoiding: foods with added sugar, grains, and/or seed oils. Even though I’m no longer insulin-resistant, carbs like grains, or even too much fruit, spikes my blood glucose too much.
I disagree with this discussion of red meat. I had high cholesterol. The ONLY change I made to my diet or lifestyle was to cut out red meat. In 1 year my cholesterol results were fantastic. This made it quite clear to me that red meat was the problem.
I do agree with you, but we still have a biology to respect, and we do have a species appropriate diet like any other animal. Just look at our physiology: low pH stomach acid, we get fat when eating carbs/sugar, we can't grind our teeth from side to side, we have a small weak digestive system, we have a large brain, we have no cecum or rumen : those are all carnivore traits.
@@D4rkBl4de While it's understandable to look for patterns in our biology, it's important to consider the broader picture. While some human traits might superficially resemble those of carnivores, we are actually omnivores with a digestive system adapted to a wide range of foods. Claims like humans having a "weak digestive system" or being primarily suited to a meat-based diet are oversimplifications. Our physiology is far more complex. Weight gain is influenced by overall calorie intake, not solely by carbohydrate consumption. It's essential to approach nutrition with a holistic perspective, considering various factors beyond isolated traits. A balanced diet that includes a variety of plant and animal foods often supports optimal health.
@@AstonAcademiaPlants have little to no value to our health. The nutrients you get from them are little, whereas, saturated fats from beef or lamb have all the nutrients we need and our bodies are more apt to assimilate them for our health.
@@AstonAcademia your comment neglects the factor of antinutrients, then that pesticides that have been sprayed on the fruits and vegetables, not to mention that there is a lack of nutrients in the soil, so then a lack of nutrients in the food itself.
Make diet and nutrition education compulsory at primary school level, ensure supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, make consumption of seasonal foods compulsory, close down all ultra processed food factories and teach easy and nutritious cooking hacks at school level itself. Teach children that if they really love their body and life, they must eat healthy. Change all the bogus food policies which have destroyed health.
No!! As a school teacher, what do we teach when there are 1000s of opinions in the school community? What you just put out there about fruit and veg., I don’t agree with. Not teaching that.
@@AnneMB955 that's what I have written that we need to change our food policies and guidelines and conduct regular counseling sessions to change the community opinions for the good. Rather than spending hefty on free health insurance policy, government must start working in the right direction.
Have high carbs combined with salt (very addictive). No or very low fat. Fat gives taste to food. Taste of fat was replaced by universal taste of sugar, people lost their real tastes, dont know how real food taste. This makes addiction in brain and dopamine. Complex foods (all in balance) and products (something without complexity out of balance).
I am now leaning towards a healthier diet eliminating ultra processed foods, seed oils, sugar and trying to cut as much carbs as possible but this has been a very well balanced, unbiased documentary.
Peer review process is very necessary very essential step to avoid a lot of bias, but nutrition field peer review is total junk, very corrupted, because the publisher chooses who to peer review for them, which is pointless. The peer review process should be done by everyone who wants to review it, maybe mostly the experts of the field, let the papers to be criticized from every angle.
@@LittleRadicalThinker Someone pays for this study. Someone have financial interests. Every conclusions of such studies are reviewed by someone who pays. Inconvenient results will not be released, study was too expensive.
@@m33265 ya, it’s hard to not find corruption. However, peer review is still the necessary step. It’s just the right tools in the wrong hands in nutrition, especially. Need more transparency, need raw original data published too, which I don’t understand why not the case.
@@LittleRadicalThinker In world where true is fueled by money its impossible make objective studies. World media are also owned by few people or capital funds, so same problem, one true, remember covid. Corr**** WHO payed by big phrama, true have no chance. People must find the truth by themselves, try this and that. One big lifetime study proving what is good or wrong diet is impossible to do. And if someone will do, all inconvenient truth will be supressed.
My Dad is approaching 91. He has eaten red meat all his life ...... He gained weight when told to stop eating red meat and eat more starch foods ie bread, grains, pizza, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.
Yes. Because this lovely animal turned everything into best digestible form for you. Your body have no problems to digest this processed vegan food especially if you are eating it RAW. All from plants worlds must be somehow transformed into animal world with more or less success. No reason to do that by you. All perfectly prepared.
There are many pics of me as a toddler, gagging when my parents tried to feed me any vegetable. Pics of me as a kid, the only one left at the table w/ my arms crossed, refusing to eat vegetables & made to sit there "until" & I'd eventually get sent to bed. Dr's & appt after appt over years, worried that I'd be malnourished, end up w/ scurvy, die at a young age. (ended up quite the opposite) Kids that made fun of me as a teen when, if someone accidentally forgot to leave off the lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, etc on a burger or put a speck of lettuce/salsa on a taco, nope.. wasn't eating it. IDK what or why, but it's as if I had an instinct, an aversion? To this day, I've never eaten vegetables, EVER... & the only fruit I've eaten is maybe.. once every decade or so, a bite of some pie at a family holiday gathering. That said, I used to eat carb/sugar heavy, but... for a long time now, no carbs, no sugar, no seed oils & I try to avoid anything ultra processed. No pasta, rice, potato, bread, etc. I've eaten mostly meats, butter, bacon, eggs & feel better than I have, ever. Just turned 52 & I'm the only one I know + only one in my entire family WITHOUT heart, blood pressure, stomach/digestion issues. I'm the only one not on any medications. Am just one person, but... I'll do what makes ME feel best & have the best health/bloodwork, etc. That food pyramid, for profit... seems quite upside down imho.
This is so interesting, how meat industry is confusing the scientific studies of nutrition in the minds of people. It is so obvious that they are closely following cigarette industry's game plan.
I'm stronger, less/little to no inflammation (pain) and have more endurance with Keto/Carnivore. You don't have to believe me, just try it for yourself for 90 days. I did 90 days back in 2017. What started out as an experiment turned into a lifestyle. It worked and still works for me. 😊
Body needs 9 basic amino acids, some basic fatty acids (from fat), all minerals and vitamins (beef is the best source), water and some sea salt for sure (82 minerals, Celtic salt). Fat have minerals, vitamins and 3 times more energy than sugar. Sugar is empty energy with low or no nutritional value. This leads to malnutrition, second reason for obesity. Overfed (by energy) and malnutrished (by nutrients). Insulin is master hormone controling around 100 processes in body. Sugar causes veins damage (all around your body), inflammation, fructose fatty liver, gout, low protein inability for body to repair, loss of muscles and of course weight gain. Cause of every single dissease in your body is inflammation. Feeling great and energetic means feed correctly every mitochondria in your cells. Brain fog will go away, brain is animal fat, animal cholesterol. Loosing weight = burning bad animal fat, your own, same as animal fat. Red meat equals your muscles. Lot of nutrition lies, carnivore diet is best way, see Inuits. Healthiest nation on planet Earth.
I'm back on the keto diet and losing about 2lb a week. My version of keto is cooking at home for the most part, and not only meat and cheese and all that, but lots of veggies. I love veggies.
step 1, learn to cook without using ready made sauces, or using vegetables out of a can. Step 2, have a variety. Step 3, avoid Fast food, however the occasional visit to MCD is ok. That's it. Use common sense, don't listen to TV or any type of experts.
nope. step 1 is to learn how certain types of food are built up , about carbs and empty carbs and in general about how food works together. ready made sauces can be okay and healthy as well. fast food also (canned food is also fast food btw), if you lack the understanding of how food works you can cook all fresh and still end up cooking trash junk food that will make you fat
@@glasperle77I’ll be honest I struggle to see how if you used only whole foods, mostly red meat based, that you’d be eating “trash junk food”. Maybe you can explain further so I understand what you mean. I reserve the “trash junk food” category for things like cereal. Anything whole is on a continuum of okay to great but certainly better than anything ultra processed.
I see now, this is an anti carb video. This isn’t a video about eating a balanced diet, carbs will kill you. I’m a sourdough baker and recently started using freshly milled flour as 60-70% of my recipe. The rest is an organic AP flour. I’ve also recently learned how the flour has been separated out so that only the starch portion of the wheat berry is what is used and sold as flour, separating out the bran and germ that contain all of the nutrients because they cause flour to go rancid. Im disappointed that I spent an hour listening to the video that I know see has a bias and not balanced toward all of the food groups and including them into your diet in a balanced way.
All in all, we have just to eat like our grand parents (more natural products, less processed food, not between the meals and take every year a period of fasting). That’s it.
I work 12 hours a day; Average 10 miles a day; Average 40 flights climbed a day; I only eat at 1st break and lunchtime; I only eat enough for sufficient energy til next time I eat… I eat a good dinner after work… I weigh 150 and can literally eat garbage every time I eat…. I think most folks would be better served to walk more and eat at designated times, and not overindulge
Yes, exercise can make a difference, but there are also people who have been world class athletes who have eaten what they thought they needed to to fuel their training and competitions, and ended up with IBD, autoimmune issues, pain throughout their bodies and pre-diabetes or diabetes. Just ask Mark Sisson or Dr. Tim Noakes.
I quit drinking entirely 8 months ago. Needless to say, of course I feel better. But I have now become acutely aware of the taste of food. Trouble is I'm finding most foods taste " off" to me, cheese, eggs, canned anything, cracker, cereal and on and on. I'm finding that most organic produce actually tastes real. Gluten free taste like cardboard. I never have liked the taste of fat- free products, again they taste like plastic. What's wrong here is the food industry has one thing in mind and it IS NOT your health. It's making money, lots of it. Your brain needs fat. Stick with food that is one word. Avoid foods with a long list of ingredients. Avoid ALL GMOs. Stick with the most basic, pronounced easily foods ... carrots, beef, broccoli, fish, cheese, almonds, etc. Buying healthy is so difficult but so worth it.
So . . . I'm mostly organic plant-based since 2017 because it has made me very healthy. I'm 70 y.o. female on zero medications. Plants have the phytonutrients and fibers that our bodies need; animals have none of those. But also - look at the way corporate animal husbandry raises animals in the USA - which is over 80% of our food supply. There is an overuse of medications in all animals that is NOT eliminated in the plastic-wrapped meat and dairy products sold in most markets. An organic plant-based diet avoids the medication remnants found in commercial meats and dairy products. Avoiding those products is what has made my migraines diminish to zero in the last 2 years.
@@suqdic the biggest excuse is people like you blaming them for "not having willpower" (whereas you allegedly have tons), when the problem is having been propagandized by our government and by the "food" industries (which have captured government agencies) into believing that metabolic poisons are healthy.
If it’s so easy, why can’t people naturally do it? Read Taubes books. It’s not so easy once you have a problem with metabolism, bcz the foods that were created to be low fat turned out to be horribly addictive, as well. Addictive. Sugar, itself, is unnatural to the body and addictive. Sugar turns out to be the culprit of most of the health related issues that fat was accused of. Obviously this movie didn’t answer that question. There’s another movie by ENDVR that does discuss sugar. Don’t make pretend that a healthy lifestyle is that easy when there’s more behind the scenes than just diet choices. If it were that easy people wouldn’t have any issues with compliance. And I’ll just go one step further, probably shooting myself in the foot that I’m putting in my mouth, but it’s very PC to call “them” “big people”, you might as well be referring to “adults”, but you mean FAT people. You might as well just say obese or overweight people. There are plenty of reasons for a high BMI, if that measurement even means anything, considering the nature of our standard, refined diet these days. Some people can get away with it, many cannot. And the longer the generational pass down of unhealthy genes due to diet, the worse it’s going to get.
@@AnneMB955 Problem is dopamine in brain. Good quality food release very low amount. All these corporations knows this feeding us with mix of salt and carbs (very addictive). Removing all taste by lowering fat in their products. So taste and low insulin = fat. Animal fat. Same as yours in your belly. Same fat body burns to loose weight. Teach your body eat animal fat again. Will eat your own with ease after and maintain your weight without any excercise.
I'll stick to my quality meat, eggs, green veg, fresh fruit and lots of fish. 39 this year, but people think I'm in my mid-20s. I made a nutritional and lifestyle change 8 months ago and honestly I've never felt or looked better in my life. Lean, jacked and sexually insatiable 💪🇬🇧🌹
that is also just generalized. if you eat the wrong fruits you also can eat whipped cream or chocolate. fructosis is just as bad as honey or sugar even worse for the teeth
@@AnneMB955 Body needs 9 basic amino acids (enough of them to make other 12 amino acids), some fatty acids, all minerals and vitamins, proteins and fat. Water. Eat whatever meets this criteria. Beef and eggs. Nothing is missing, you can eat this combination for rest of your life. And dont forget butter (yummy), some better salt (for sure), Celtic salt (82 minerals). Body is made from red meat and animal fat. Its true, try to c** yourself, you will see.
High fat carnivore healed so many lifelong conditions for me that I thought we're "normal" or part of "aging". We are just not eating our natural diets and that makes a big difference. Lookup "why we are carnivore by anthony chaffee" interesting stuff.
@@tripendicular See how many vegans are going carnivore after a few years being vegan. Usually people go from the SAD diet to vegan/vegetarian - so naturally they will be healthier. But after a few years the lack in essential amino acids and vitamins and minerals catch up with them. You have to be very vigilant in getting enough protein to be able to stay healthy on a vegan diet and unfortunately most plant protein are not as bio-available as meat.
Eating natural food is hard for some ppl because they literally never have. It's all processed now. And even "healthy" food they managed to mess up. Learn to read labels. Knowledge is priceless.
Tried coconut oil. Not great cause it makes everything tastes like coconut. Very strange. Stick with olive oil but make sure it’s from one region or country. Lots of these olive oils are blended with some other countries . So spend more but get either Italian, Greek or 100% Spanish oil. Not a mix.
They make coconut oil that doesn't have a coconut taste to it! It actually has no taste at all! I'm sure u can probably Google where to purchase it and what brands to get!
The question should really be is why do people not care about eating health, i've often asked this of myself and its because i'm lazy. There you go, solved.
Every time I opened my lunch at work the workers would say "Boy you eat healthy, good for you." It also was less than they were eating by weight. More vegetables than meat. But myself and my family on my father's mother's side were all in the 180 to 300-pound range and so was I.
It's interesting how we seem to react so differently to food. I feel my best when I eat a lot of animal protein and fat. I also eat vegetables and fruit, etc.
So, I'm curious on their view about the food people in the blue zones (blue zones= regions were people get very old, are healthy, have low rates of cancer, obesity, diabetes...) consume. They hardly eat meat, most of them are vegetarians, they consume a lot of carbs, bit indeed not a lot of sugar. So I assume they are able to keep their blood sugar levels steady. Looking at the variety of diets people consume all over the world that are healthy and live long, it kind of boils down to me to just a handful important points. Eat food that is in season and locally available. Cook from scratch with fresh ingredients. Eat as divers as possible.
Sorry to disagree but Healthy Seeds, grains and fermented foods. Veg especially Green Leafy, Full Fat Greek Yoghurt, Oily Fish and a little Chicken/meat. At 81 feel better than ever for the last 2 years of this regime.
My mother fed us on 'meat and two veg' and we always had a pudding usually fruit crumble or sponge with custard. We were never hungry and snacks didn't exist. I know life is different now but with modern ways of cooking its still possible. Slow cooker stews and casseroles etc
I love the points brought up in this documentary especially to the effect of causation vs correlation. This really clicks with me! I went vegetarian last year for 8 months. I ended up having incredibly low iron, B12s as I did not do this correctly. However, my switch was motivated by climate change and environmental footprint. I want the food industry to make radical changes in production standards to curb the harmful effects of meat production on the environment. Any comment on this?
...This is the MOST CONFUSING "compilation" of health messages I've ever watched... because you can't tell which "school of thought" it actually promotes...😂...
Admittedly I'm only 8minutes in, but hopefully the address the fact that there is so much personal diversity and there is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL for diet. Factor in genetics and food intolerance. Someone might do fine on a high saturated diet while another it would be disastrous. Not what ppl wanna hear bc it makes it more confusing for some...
You just have to look at what we evolved to eat. We are apex carnivores, top of the food chains. We are eating a ton of different foods that we're not adapted to eat since birth, sometimes since baby formula and we destroy our metabolism/organs/systems. We have no means to process plant toxins like omnivores and herbivores do. We have no cecum to achieve this. It's really simple: look at our digestive organs, it's similar to a carnivore's, and our acid pH is extremely low, even lower than a lion's. I went high fat carnivore and it fixed so many lifelong ills for me. Just takes a bit for your body to get adjusted to the new fat burning metabolism. But if you can get through the transition, it's all worth it. They tell us to eat a "balanced" diet but it's all a fraud, no solid science behind it. We just evolved eating fatty red meat and they demonize it. No wonder we're all sick! "aging" is just because we're not eating right. Eat according to your biology, and you'll feel like you're 20 at 60 years old.
I feel the same way. The way this movie starts with immediate vegan-bashing which makes me want to believe them less. It is actually absurd to suggest there is 'this one way' and all other preferences are foolish. Makes them sound like politically motivated zealots and not rational individuals.
absolutely. We have to combine knowledge, common sense and listening to your own body. There is no one solution for everybody. And often it’s trial and error but that’s okay.
I am 77, been riding the bicycle 7 days wk. since 1972, I have raced, toured, commuted, and am presently car-free. I weighed 145lbs. in the Air Force in 1976 and weigh 148lbs. today. I eat pasta, vegetables, fruit, and a little parmesan. Ciao.
Look up C15, it's an essential fatty acid basically impossible to get from plants. Without it, every cell in the body breaks down faster than normal, but especially the red blood cells. Now the food with the most of this fatty acids is hard, aged cheese made with milk from grass-fed ruminants. So it would be possible to do things ethically, be healthy even without meat in your diet if you throw in a multivitamin, but that would require a nuanced approach, and people gravitate more towards easy answers.
So, how does one reduce calories, whilst still eating animal fats? If I consume over 2500 calories, my weight goes up, but if I eat butter and lard, it's very easy to go over 2500 calories.
True that fruits will affect sugar levels but only if you go in crazy quantities. Eating in moderation will not have an affect to your insulin since the fiber will help the sugars to dissolve very slowly in your body. Balanced and not processed food according to your DNA is the best approach
I am allergic to red meat because I was bitten by the lone star tick and developed the alpha gal syndrome. Its a very interesting allergy. I went Keto and told my coworkers and they all freaked out and told me not to do it because of side effects but they were all overweight. I FINALLY LOST WEIGHT ON KETO, It was great. I have PCOS and am really bad carb addict. I crave them and obsess over food all the time it drives me nuts and it doesnt help to constanly feel food insecure. I love this documentary becuase its 100 percent true. You will lose weight by eating a high protien/high fat low carb diet just like Dr.Nows diet on TLC my 600lb life.
As a vegan for over 7yrs, I don't think about food all the time, I'm not preparing my food all the time, I've never had decreased energy, and I wouldn't eat this way if I was hungry all the time. Pls drop the stereotyping
i notice they all have one thing in common despite differences in their ages and gender. they are all so fit. i believe they know what they’re talking about.
I'm terrified of fizzy drinks. I tried multiple times of not drinking so much cola and only now I do small baby steps that are: since last week, I haven't drink it for 4 days. Hope it won't end here
If I eat red meat, I try to only eat grass fed beef, no burgers or any food from fast food restaurants as they always cook in seed oils( highly inflammatory) I do love a nice filet from a high end restaurant, but that’s it. It’s the quality of your food that should be your focus not whether it’s red meat or not. Same with chicken, do you think Costco rotisserie chicken is healthy just because it’s chicken? Heck no.
Eat what you want but just be mindful, eat healthily, eat garbage, fast at times, and exercise regularly, moderation is the key, balance it out, and just don't overdo it, especially if you're at the 'All you can Eat' buffet cart cos you think you have to eat loads to get your money's worth! 🙄It's your body, your health, should you take another slice of cheesecake?? How about a kebab after a night out? Hmm...
@@AnneMB955 Yes, guess it's not about the regime its more about your mindset and emotions. The Brain and Gut communicate with each other, our mood, our feelings and the decisions we make. If you can control your environment you are almost there. Make small changes and build it up and you'll have your own regime, ensure you log it in your diary to see your progress, if you see no results than tweek it and change it. Most importantly is to Do your own research in whatever you do, learn it and understand it, read books to get your mindset in the right direction. “As you think, so shall you become" - Bruce Lee and every other philosopher this world has seen. Another quote which is my fav is "For things to change, you have to change" - Jim Rohn Understand these two quotes and you have already won the first battle with your mind. Remember, health and fitness is not a race to the finish line but the progress you make with time. Good luck!
its crazy to me how resistant people are to the newer data that is coming out. That's what science is all about... learning and evolving. We can't continue to follow decades old , out dated information, as the gospel.
@@AnneMB955no. I trust studies not funded by big food or big pharma . I also trust medical doctors that I follow who try to do cohort studies with the patients in their clinics bc big food/pharma would never fund them.
Believe it or not all you KETO people there are those of us since birth who have never liked meat. Even as a child I preferred fruits and veggies, any piece of meat I was served was drowned in ketchup. 66+ years old now feeling pretty darn good, in excellent health, much better than the fatties who are my contemporaries.
I love coconut oil and eggs chicken bacon and spinach. I have even used lard (beef tallow) with my food. It helps me to feel more full and makes food delicious. Also I have Cushing's disease and may always be overweight. But with a spinal cord compression injury all I can do is eat bone broth strong collagen foods and try and feel as healthy as I can. my weight is something I have come to peace with and I have kept my blood sugar between 9_5 with only food. I am hoping that these things are going to be enough along with swimming and physical therapy.
It’s so hard to eat real healthy even tho you think you are, until you go for a health checkup and find out that you have HBP or thicker blood (whatever term that is) from eating too much salt or sugar. Just one teaspoon of salt to season your chicken is already your max daily intake! Just one banana is already half your daily sugar intake. Fruits, Greek yoghurt and a lot of vegetables have sugar in them which our body cannot process properly too, just like added sugars. Stir fried, pan seared, oven baked or air fried foods all have AGEs in them which damage your body and cells. At this point we might as well eat nothing.
Also, fun fact: all steroid hormones made by the body start out as cholesterol. That's why people have more of it as they age and their glands can't make as many hormones as the body needs. So it's a symptom, not a cause of illness, so reducing it does nothing for health because it doesn't fix the underlying problem.
Many people are unhealthy and obese because hyper-palatable processed foods are abundant, available and addictive. And they are typically eaten, not for sustenance, but for pleasure or self-medication. People use food as a way to alter their moods and regulate their emotions in the same way that they would use drugs or alcohol. It has been established that our genes and microbiomes play a role in our propensity to become obese as well. So it's not just what we eat, it's why and how much, and how well our bodies and microbiota metabolize our food. It's not as simple as eating a ketogenic diet. We need fruits and vegetables for fiber, vitamins and minerals that are anti-oxidative and neuroprotective. Extreme diets are not healthy or sustainable. But balance and moderation are not sexy fodder for the media. Let's use some common sense, now, shall we?
Perhaps the current Language universally used “ -fat “ “ saturated fat” “ trans fats “, etc - is misleading : my belief is people will relate immediately to “Natural healthy dietary fats found only in real food “ as opposed to “Unnatural unhealthy manufactured fats.” . Indeed It is articulate and requires an effort during conversation but will possibly trigger reflection .
I've been plant-based for 30 years and have friends who have also practice the same lifestyle for over 50 to 60 years. This documentary promotes meat eating, period. Someone got paid and is most likely still getting paid from it. There are certain diseases that ONLY come from meat eating. Medical professionals know this but rarely say anything about it. This documentary is so sad.
Every one of these types of shows focus only on the diets of Americans. It's a huge world out there and it would be foolish to suggest the rest of the world shuns carbs/grains to maintain their health. Some of the healthiest cultures in the world eat rice, wheat/pasta/bread, legumes, etc... Visit any archeologically significant place in the US and you will see that our indigenous tribes grew a lot of carbs as a mainstay of their diets. Keto/low carb is almost entirely a US diet. We are not so different from other humans that we require a unique way of eating......so then we need to be asking WHAT is it that we consume that's so different than other countries. Look at what is allowed in our food supply that isn't allowed in other countries. Even our processing of meats isn't allowed in other countries (example, chlorinated chicken). We switched to home-milled, organic wheat and all of our labs improved tremendously just from that one, small switch.
@@LittleRadicalThinker Mixing fat and sugar is what's unhealthy. Once you eat enough bad oils and fat and carbs it messes up the pancreas, you are pretty much forced to avoid all sugar and carbs for the rest of your life. Meanwhile HCLF people are eating 20 bananas and 3 cups of rice and baked potatoes and pasta. Dietary fat and excess protein/iron/sodium causes large redblood cells, narrowing capillaries, and clotting. Clotting causes hypoxia. Hypoxia then runs on Iron. And then the iron sometimes goes nuts and swaps ions back and forth and impacts the dna. Then you have disease. Most seeds oils oxidize in your pantry. PUFAs take years to get out of your system.
Meat is not the food of warriors-it’s the food of hunter-gatherers. Warrior classes, hierarchy, walled cities, poverty, slavery, the fall of women etc., appeared after the conversion of the human diet to grains (ie., carbs) as a major caloric source.
The wrong way to do plant-based is replace everything with an alternative, not change your habits, do it only for the animals, not your health, replace all the vital nutrients from animals with... gluten... when you go "Vegan" you need to do it healthy and fresh. Bottom line, stop eating ultraprocessed, plastic packaged food filled with preservatives, numbers, weird words you cannot pronounce, Vegan or not. Listen to your body, know where you are in your health. Get rid of all ideologies and make sure what you do is from your own opinion and beliefs, not from an influence, which could be marketing from a corporation. HUMANS should eat WHOLE food. Not something with 10 ingredients to make 1 thing.
I disagree about the part with the exercise. When I was at university I used to cycle 3-4 hours a day + other exercise too. I could eat what ever I wanted and I was still bordering on skeletal.
I used to be that way, too. As we grow older, insulin resistance and carb intolerance increase, so that even people who exercise and do the same things they used to do, it no longer seems to keep the fat off.
@@LauraB.335 When does that happen, though? I'm kind of sick of having to eat so much to maintain my energy, weight and muscle mass. It's expensive! 😂 39 year old female.
I'm sick of the sight of soy oil. As a carnivore I can't even buy a vitamin D3 capsule without it being made with soy oil. Everywhere you go these days medications and all sorts of things you want to buy are loaded with it. Just check the labels, that stuff is so cheap it's been shoved into everything.
Ok, but the bacon and the meet available is processed. I think that you should clarify to viewers that they should be careful when choosing their animal protein. Also, when eating people should control their portions, not because you can eat something they can eat too much of it. Furthermore, there are plenty of bad fish. I am so confused
FAT: A Documentary 2 is the sequel to the international sensation that delves deeper into the lies and myths surrounding the age old question: "What should I be eating?" "Common knowledge" regarding healthy eating has grown more and more confusing seemingly by the day.
Vinnie Tortorich and a host of health experts talk about the conflicts between plant eaters and meat eaters and how hidden machinations in the food industry are the reasons why we believe what we do about food and optimal health.
It's not.
Good documentary. Personally, my own n of 1 has shown this to be the most effective and least complicated.
The doctors here in the UK don't believe this ..... SADLY
Since I removed most things from my diet that comes with a label of ingredients and ate mostly only fruit, vegs, proteins and saturated fats... My migraines completely disappeared.
I now believe labelled ingredients foods are poison for the most part.
I think you need a chemistry class my dude
@@tripendicular I think you need to know that the body processes natural compounds differently than pseudo food. Its like comparing Ephedrine to Pseudoephedrine,
Same. Carnivore no migraines!

This was a GREAT documentary series!! I've been eating low carb (the majority of the time) for the last 15 years, after discovering the Atkin's diet when I was obese. Very little sugar and grains, mostly protein, fat and some veggies. I'm 61, and am one of the few people I know not on any meds. Things are definitely shifting. Less people think I'm crazy for my eating habits now, lol.
@@Chaotic313 that’s great to hear. Stay well!
Anecdotes beat epidemiology
How do you deal with carbohydrate cravings? It’s the hardest part for me
@@MarshasJourney For Me It's Raw Whole Soaked Almonds Washed Down With Water, Although I Won't Recommend It To Those Allergic To Nuts.
Protein and fat are not foods… They are macronutrients… don’t equal protein to meats, they are not the same, and fat can be very harmful if eaten wrong fat.
I am absolutely a sugar addict and was raised to be one. Once I realized that and treat myself as such it completely changed my relationship with food!
Sugar lowers your hunger, so you dont know your real hunger. Sugar kills you taste sensation, everything is less or more sweet. People must teach real basic tastes again.
@@m33265I've avoided sugar for three years, it was given to me in a coffee, I couldn't drink it, it tasted foul, before that I used to have three in my coffee. Amazing how your taste buds do change.
@@m33265I’m sorry, but that’s BS. Carbs and especially sugar make you more hungry. If you eat a fatty steak, you get full, you probably can’t even finish it, if you eat carbs and sugar you can go right on eating all night with no end in sight, feeling cruddier and cruddier, then even sick the next day.
@@LoriDRBlake You are righ, I am wrong. Of course sugars rise your hunger. Again ang again, rise your insulin, you became insulin resistant, gives you tons of energy and no nutrient value at all or very small amount, malnutrition is next part of obesity problem. Who wants to loose weight must eat themselve again by nutrient dense food with almost none or none carbs at all. Carnivore diet is best version of keto diet, iam in for 3 months. Carbs (all, pastas, bakery, starch, fructose... ending in blood as higher sugar) will make you fat, fat (yes, animal fat, same as your own) will make you loose weiht. Because in fact loosing weight is only allowing your body to burn your own storage fat whenever you body goes out of energy in blood, high insuling or high blood glucose stops burning fat as energy source (" Randle Cycle", insulin for example blocks enzyme allowing triglycerides release from fat cells back to blood to give body energy). Big drop of energy after cleaning excess glucose from your blood stream by insulin causes big hunger again and again. Fat loss = take control above insulin back by eating right food, fat. Teach your body again burn fat. From diet or your own storage. Good way to start is eat a lot of quality butter, from real milk. Lot of saturated fat and very low or no lactose (milk sugar).
So avoiding carbs of any kind leads to weight loss, carbs are cause of obesity, high clucose in blood is damaging your vascular system etc. etc. Stop carbs, eat more fat instead, but do it slowly, fat adaptation takes weeks, your sugar loving gut bacteria will not be happy to die. Cholesterol lies, you need fiber (lie, next polysacharide) etc. etc. Fat will give you more stable energy, stable insulin, lean people have insulin under control, some people naturally produce not enough insulin to even became fat, can eat what they want all day long and have problem to became fat, the cant. Being lean on other side doesnt guarantee beeing metabolically healthy, especially fructose (glucose-fructose syrup) makes fatty liver.
Good way to start loosing weight is find video "butter makes you pants fall off" on youtube.
@@m33265 are you paid by big sugar?
Harvard has completely lost my trust and respect at this point.
Universities grade on a bell curve. They care about money not making the normies smarter. They only need a small portion of intelligent people to exploit and trust me they are not the ones studying nutrition. Education is becoming more useless by the minute.
Years ago, a medical journal article stated that one of the major causes for alcoholism is the craving for sugar, and many alcoholics are firstly diabetic/pre-diabetic!🎉😮
I started working on becoming carnivore last octoberish, and was a heavy drinker 7-12 standard drinks, 6-7 days a week. I did a 10 day cruise in December and bought 5 alcoholic drinks. I have a situational desire to drink, but no physiological need to drink. I now have to force myself to finish a bottle of red wine and have thrown it out. So I came to the same conclusion, get rid of the carbs, get rid of the desire (mostly) to booze on.
@@Tom_and_Lulu Get rid of fructose too, especially glucose-fructose syrup. It goes thru same metabolic pathway in liver like alcohol, therefore todays obese children with fatty liver overfed by fructose. You cant overat by protein or fat. Body can reject these thru your poop. Eggs as source of "bad dietary animal cholesterol", body knows exactly how much animal cholesterol needs, if you will not give it by diet, will make some in liver, if you give too much, will make nothing sending this dietary cholesterol to your poop. You cant have bad level of cholesterol, its almost impossible.
In fact, alcohol = carbs.
I turned to alcohol in stressful times and particularly after my daughter died many many many years ago. It took two attempts to put it down. When I came out of rehab I ate tonnes of bread for the first month, second month pasta and third month chocolate. I didn’t realise the dangers of what alcohol could do re insulin OR this 3 month binge that kept me off the alcohol. I mean i ate alot in the evenings!!! I was satisfying my sugar cravings!!! Then I suddenly just stopped doing it and turned to Banting diet. Obviously I agree with you. I’m carnivore now, well actually lion diet for the last week as I seem to still be having issues with a slightly elevated insulin. This could be menopause.
I remember hearing this back in the 60's!
@@theantiqueactionfigure In 60's were book written about red meat healing effects. Try today gain some money for keto research, of any kind. All big pharma will refuse to give you money on this research, they know "no sugar life is much healthier".
Warning: Being a sugar addict will compel you to ferociously defend the consumption of carbohydrates in the comments.
And also to fight against red meat consumption.
I'm a sugar addict on my way into keto to get rid of all the damn symptoms of inflammation, brain fog, low energy,... So it depends on where people are on their sugar journey.
The documentary made good points - however,
the annoying music playing in the background throughout the video was too much of a distraction for me to want to follow through to the end of it.
You can cook a healthier hamburger and design a healthy drink from home...preparing homecooked food and eating lots of fruits and vegetables stay away from takeout food, pizza etc and you are way ahead of the game and also cheaper
Ya right, sounds very expensive.
Not for everyone.
Except, veggies not so much fruit. Blackberries, blueberries, sure those are good. But you really want green. Cucumbers, broccoli, chard, that good ol' green stuff, that's what will make you feel great. Cooking at home gives you so much power.
Ppl have to make a conscience decision to change their lifestyle. In order to change what they eat. To choose healthy foods and exercising has to become a habit.🙏🌹🌹
problem is that most don't know what healthy is because what is missing and the main issue aren't the companies and industry but the lack of health educational classes in school. people don't know white rice and white flour is basically sugar, they don't know eating grapes is as bad as eating chocolate
The problem is you need to know what healthy foods are.
@@LittleRadicalThinker I know: just stay away from carbs, sugar and processed oils.
Americans can do what they want...eat processed foods, take lots of MEDICATIONS AND WHINE ABOUT HEALTH😅😅😅😅😅 BUT. ...change is possible
So much conflicting messages about what it is to eat healthy! It causes me anxiety and so do the food prices!
Like I commented on part 1- EVERYONE SHARE THIS VIDEO! Diagnosed with cancer and major depression. I was addicted to sugar for years. I am off sugar and grains. Withdrawal was terrible, but the alternative is worse. PET scans use glucose because cancer cells attract it. That absolutely horrified me. I have cut sugar and processed foods. After a meal, I might have some berries. My glucose levels are stable and I am less hungry. Good luck everyone!😊
Eating animal products only got rid of all my perimenopause symptoms within 3 months, I graduated into menopause a year and a half later with ease. My doctor wanted me to stop eating this way and go on hrt because my ldl went up, I refused as my triglycerides and hdl were perfect.
My skin is fantastic and a big age spot / liver spot I had on my face for years disappeared.
I’m desperately waiting to clear my face from age spots…
The real problem is people can't do anything in MODERATION
There's an underlying cause for this, in the way sugar - and insulin - changes the brain, the hunger hormones, the behaviour,.. No one has a problem to eat olive oil in moderation, because olive oil doesn't do these things.
After eliminating all junk food and ultra-processed items from my diet for nearly three years, I found myself grappling with prediabetes despite my significant weight loss. The situation was baffling until further research directed me to a plant-based diet-a concept I initially found off-putting. As someone who was raised on a meat-centric diet, the transition to veganism felt inconceivable. However, embracing this change has been transformative.
I am no longer prediabetic, and my doctor is consistently amazed by the condition of my 46-year-old body, which rivals that of men half my age. My annual lab results are exceptional, with metrics such as an LDL level of 33 and a resting heart rate of 47. I experience remarkable energy levels and the only supplement I take is Vitamin B12. Contrary to claims of constant hunger, I struggle to eat more than two meals a day-something I could never have imagined during my previous meat-heavy diet.
This video’s portrayal of veganism is fundamentally flawed and misleading.
Georgia Ede, is wonderful. A brilliant woman and worth her weight in gold. Deserves a medal.
Agreed
no one cooks anymore people also do not read their ingredients.
So true, when i actually thought about my childhood where we ate out maybe one or at most two times on the weekends I was kinda shocked. I was eating two meals a day out as an adult. 1. Such a waste of money 2. So unhealthy which funnily enough will be very expensive in the future. I cook at home basically exclusively now.
Don't be them, start reading ingredients and cook
Once you reach 30's you will check all ingredients 😂. That's what im doing right now
In fact cooking of food is bad. Denaturates proteins, destroys some vitamins. Raw eggs, raw red meat. Best way to eat. And body have no problem fully digest such food, no products of frying etc at all. Worst food of all are fryied carbs in seed oil - fries.
I started seriously cooking 131 days ago when I started carnivore. Even changed my cookware to easy clean ceramic.
I throw away one little package a day. My ingredients are one.
Personally I think if you make your own meals it's much easier to have a healthy diet alot of it is common sense
There’s so much added salt, sugar and fat in restaurant food.
Exactly and you can control the portions
It's starts with being mislead about what is truly "Healthy"...
Yeah they told us to avoid red meat and eat only white meat.
I discovered Atkins way back when, and following that strategy melted my excess body fat so effectively that I was shocked. But I added carbs back and over the ensuing years my weight went back up. I retired in 2017 and discovered keto. Now, I've been on a very low carb diet for years and I'm slim, medication free, healthy, and active. Hunger is controlled effortlessly, no urge to snack. My only complaint these days is the monetized content on UA-cam about keto. Too many voices focused on making a living via follower counts.
I eat Keto and I check my glucose levels daily and it went down very fast. That means it works to fight insulin resistance. Why take medication for a desease when a diet change heals it? I don't want to depend on meds that only surpress symptoms then curing the causes for it. Our Keto/Carnivore community can proof that this diet works as we monitor our metabolic datas.
The less processed, the better. One really bad thing is the rise of ultra processed "food"
I agree with you once a person becomes metabolically. Until then, though, going keto or even low-carb reduces insulin levels which allows your body to burn your body fat for energy, thus avoiding hunger while losing weight. Helped me to lose 80 lbs, so admit I’m biased in favor of avoiding: foods with added sugar, grains, and/or seed oils. Even though I’m no longer insulin-resistant, carbs like grains, or even too much fruit, spikes my blood glucose too much.
I disagree with this discussion of red meat. I had high cholesterol. The ONLY change I made to my diet or lifestyle was to cut out red meat. In 1 year my cholesterol results were fantastic. This made it quite clear to me that red meat was the problem.
Just eat real food. What is real food? Food with no ingredients.
I do agree with you, but we still have a biology to respect, and we do have a species appropriate diet like any other animal. Just look at our physiology: low pH stomach acid, we get fat when eating carbs/sugar, we can't grind our teeth from side to side, we have a small weak digestive system, we have a large brain, we have no cecum or rumen : those are all carnivore traits.
@@D4rkBl4de While it's understandable to look for patterns in our biology, it's important to consider the broader picture. While some human traits might superficially resemble those of carnivores, we are actually omnivores with a digestive system adapted to a wide range of foods.
Claims like humans having a "weak digestive system" or being primarily suited to a meat-based diet are oversimplifications. Our physiology is far more complex. Weight gain is influenced by overall calorie intake, not solely by carbohydrate consumption.
It's essential to approach nutrition with a holistic perspective, considering various factors beyond isolated traits. A balanced diet that includes a variety of plant and animal foods often supports optimal health.
@@AstonAcademiaPlants have little to no value to our health. The nutrients you get from them are little, whereas, saturated fats from beef or lamb have all the nutrients we need and our bodies are more apt to assimilate them for our health.
@@AstonAcademia your comment neglects the factor of antinutrients, then that pesticides that have been sprayed on the fruits and vegetables, not to mention that there is a lack of nutrients in the soil, so then a lack of nutrients in the food itself.
Most people don’t know what are real food are tho😢
Make diet and nutrition education compulsory at primary school level, ensure supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, make consumption of seasonal foods compulsory, close down all ultra processed food factories and teach easy and nutritious cooking hacks at school level itself. Teach children that if they really love their body and life, they must eat healthy. Change all the bogus food policies which have destroyed health.
No!! As a school teacher, what do we teach when there are 1000s of opinions in the school community? What you just put out there about fruit and veg., I don’t agree with. Not teaching that.
@@AnneMB955 that's what I have written that we need to change our food policies and guidelines and conduct regular counseling sessions to change the community opinions for the good. Rather than spending hefty on free health insurance policy, government must start working in the right direction.
Even if you have money to buy expensive food, 99% of our food in supermarket have chemicals
Don't buy expensive packaged foods. Just eat meat and eggs.
Not so bad, only 95%.
@LittleRadicalThinke😂😂😂r
Food does not need to be expensive.
Have high carbs combined with salt (very addictive). No or very low fat. Fat gives taste to food. Taste of fat was replaced by universal taste of sugar, people lost their real tastes, dont know how real food taste. This makes addiction in brain and dopamine. Complex foods (all in balance) and products (something without complexity out of balance).
I am now leaning towards a healthier diet eliminating ultra processed foods, seed oils, sugar and trying to cut as much carbs as possible but this has been a very well balanced, unbiased documentary.
I don’t believe in “peer reviewed studies” because they echo off each other.
Peer review process is very necessary very essential step to avoid a lot of bias, but nutrition field peer review is total junk, very corrupted, because the publisher chooses who to peer review for them, which is pointless. The peer review process should be done by everyone who wants to review it, maybe mostly the experts of the field, let the papers to be criticized from every angle.
@@LittleRadicalThinker Someone pays for this study. Someone have financial interests. Every conclusions of such studies are reviewed by someone who pays. Inconvenient results will not be released, study was too expensive.
@@m33265 ya, it’s hard to not find corruption. However, peer review is still the necessary step. It’s just the right tools in the wrong hands in nutrition, especially. Need more transparency, need raw original data published too, which I don’t understand why not the case.

There are many pics of me as a toddler, gagging when my parents tried to feed me any vegetable. Pics of me as a kid, the only one left at the table w/ my arms crossed, refusing to eat vegetables & made to sit there "until" & I'd eventually get sent to bed. Dr's & appt after appt over years, worried that I'd be malnourished, end up w/ scurvy, die at a young age. (ended up quite the opposite) Kids that made fun of me as a teen when, if someone accidentally forgot to leave off the lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, etc on a burger or put a speck of lettuce/salsa on a taco, nope.. wasn't eating it. IDK what or why, but it's as if I had an instinct, an aversion? To this day, I've never eaten vegetables, EVER... & the only fruit I've eaten is maybe.. once every decade or so, a bite of some pie at a family holiday gathering. That said, I used to eat carb/sugar heavy, but... for a long time now, no carbs, no sugar, no seed oils & I try to avoid anything ultra processed. No pasta, rice, potato, bread, etc. I've eaten mostly meats, butter, bacon, eggs & feel better than I have, ever. Just turned 52 & I'm the only one I know + only one in my entire family WITHOUT heart, blood pressure, stomach/digestion issues. I'm the only one not on any medications. Am just one person, but... I'll do what makes ME feel best & have the best health/bloodwork, etc. That food pyramid, for profit... seems quite upside down imho.
So, no lentil stew? You're missing out.
@@waterotter3625 nope, more for you. 😀
Very well done and put together.
This is so interesting, how meat industry is confusing the scientific studies of nutrition in the minds of people. It is so obvious that they are closely following cigarette industry's game plan.
I'm stronger, less/little to no inflammation (pain) and have more endurance with Keto/Carnivore. You don't have to believe me, just try it for yourself for 90 days. I did 90 days back in 2017. What started out as an experiment turned into a lifestyle. It worked and still works for me. 😊
Body needs 9 basic amino acids, some basic fatty acids (from fat), all minerals and vitamins (beef is the best source), water and some sea salt for sure (82 minerals, Celtic salt). Fat have minerals, vitamins and 3 times more energy than sugar. Sugar is empty energy with low or no nutritional value. This leads to malnutrition, second reason for obesity. Overfed (by energy) and malnutrished (by nutrients). Insulin is master hormone controling around 100 processes in body. Sugar causes veins damage (all around your body), inflammation, fructose fatty liver, gout, low protein inability for body to repair, loss of muscles and of course weight gain. Cause of every single dissease in your body is inflammation.
Feeling great and energetic means feed correctly every mitochondria in your cells. Brain fog will go away, brain is animal fat, animal cholesterol. Loosing weight = burning bad animal fat, your own, same as animal fat. Red meat equals your muscles. Lot of nutrition lies, carnivore diet is best way, see Inuits. Healthiest nation on planet Earth.
I'm back on the keto diet and losing about 2lb a week. My version of keto is cooking at home for the most part, and not only meat and cheese and all that, but lots of veggies. I love veggies.
step 1, learn to cook without using ready made sauces, or using vegetables out of a can. Step 2, have a variety. Step 3, avoid Fast food, however the occasional visit to MCD is ok. That's it. Use common sense, don't listen to TV or any type of experts.
nope. step 1 is to learn how certain types of food are built up , about carbs and empty carbs and in general about how food works together. ready made sauces can be okay and healthy as well. fast food also (canned food is also fast food btw), if you lack the understanding of how food works you can cook all fresh and still end up cooking trash junk food that will make you fat
@@glasperle77I’ll be honest I struggle to see how if you used only whole foods, mostly red meat based, that you’d be eating “trash junk food”. Maybe you can explain further so I understand what you mean. I reserve the “trash junk food” category for things like cereal. Anything whole is on a continuum of okay to great but certainly better than anything ultra processed.
I see now, this is an anti carb video. This isn’t a video about eating a balanced diet, carbs will kill you. I’m a sourdough baker and recently started using freshly milled flour as 60-70% of my recipe. The rest is an organic AP flour. I’ve also recently learned how the flour has been separated out so that only the starch portion of the wheat berry is what is used and sold as flour, separating out the bran and germ that contain all of the nutrients because they cause flour to go rancid. Im disappointed that I spent an hour listening to the video that I know see has a bias and not balanced toward all of the food groups and including them into your diet in a balanced way.
If it was made in a laboratory its not good for you full stop.
All in all, we have just to eat like our grand parents (more natural products, less processed food, not between the meals and take every year a period of fasting). That’s it.
I work 12 hours a day;
Average 10 miles a day;
Average 40 flights climbed a day;
I only eat at 1st break and lunchtime;
I only eat enough for sufficient energy til next time I eat…
I eat a good dinner after work…
I weigh 150 and can literally eat garbage every time I eat….
I think most folks would be better served to walk more and eat at designated times, and not overindulge
N = 1
Yes, exercise can make a difference, but there are also people who have been world class athletes who have eaten what they thought they needed to to fuel their training and competitions, and ended up with IBD, autoimmune issues, pain throughout their bodies and pre-diabetes or diabetes. Just ask Mark Sisson or Dr. Tim Noakes.
I quit drinking entirely 8 months ago. Needless to say, of course I feel better. But I have now become acutely aware of the taste of food. Trouble is I'm finding most foods taste " off" to me, cheese, eggs, canned anything, cracker, cereal and on and on. I'm finding that most organic produce actually tastes real. Gluten free taste like cardboard. I never have liked the taste of fat- free products, again they taste like plastic. What's wrong here is the food industry has one thing in mind and it IS NOT your health. It's making money, lots of it. Your brain needs fat. Stick with food that is one word. Avoid foods with a long list of ingredients. Avoid ALL GMOs. Stick with the most basic, pronounced easily foods ... carrots, beef, broccoli, fish, cheese, almonds, etc. Buying healthy is so difficult but so worth it.
So . . . I'm mostly organic plant-based since 2017 because it has made me very healthy. I'm 70 y.o. female on zero medications. Plants have the phytonutrients and fibers that our bodies need; animals have none of those. But also - look at the way corporate animal husbandry raises animals in the USA - which is over 80% of our food supply. There is an overuse of medications in all animals that is NOT eliminated in the plastic-wrapped meat and dairy products sold in most markets. An organic plant-based diet avoids the medication remnants found in commercial meats and dairy products. Avoiding those products is what has made my migraines diminish to zero in the last 2 years.
Don’t make pretend it’s hard to eat properly. It’ll make big people think they can’t help their situation.
Well, they will find as many excuses as they want anyway...
@@suqdic the biggest excuse is people like you blaming them for "not having willpower" (whereas you allegedly have tons), when the problem is having been propagandized by our government and by the "food" industries (which have captured government agencies) into believing that metabolic poisons are healthy.
It’s not hard to eat healthily. Just make the right decisions.
If it’s so easy, why can’t people naturally do it? Read Taubes books. It’s not so easy once you have a problem with metabolism, bcz the foods that were created to be low fat turned out to be horribly addictive, as well. Addictive. Sugar, itself, is unnatural to the body and addictive. Sugar turns out to be the culprit of most of the health related issues that fat was accused of. Obviously this movie didn’t answer that question. There’s another movie by ENDVR that does discuss sugar.
Don’t make pretend that a healthy lifestyle is that easy when there’s more behind the scenes than just diet choices. If it were that easy people wouldn’t have any issues with compliance.
And I’ll just go one step further, probably shooting myself in the foot that I’m putting in my mouth, but it’s very PC to call “them” “big people”, you might as well be referring to “adults”, but you mean FAT people. You might as well just say obese or overweight people. There are plenty of reasons for a high BMI, if that measurement even means anything, considering the nature of our standard, refined diet these days. Some people can get away with it, many cannot. And the longer the generational pass down of unhealthy genes due to diet, the worse it’s going to get.
@@AnneMB955 Problem is dopamine in brain. Good quality food release very low amount. All these corporations knows this feeding us with mix of salt and carbs (very addictive). Removing all taste by lowering fat in their products. So taste and low insulin = fat. Animal fat. Same as yours in your belly. Same fat body burns to loose weight. Teach your body eat animal fat again. Will eat your own with ease after and maintain your weight without any excercise.
I'll stick to my quality meat, eggs, green veg, fresh fruit and lots of fish. 39 this year, but people think I'm in my mid-20s. I made a nutritional and lifestyle change 8 months ago and honestly I've never felt or looked better in my life. Lean, jacked and sexually insatiable 💪🇬🇧🌹
Make sure to stick to small fish. Large fish full of mercury. Also watch out for farmed fish which is very unhealthy !
that is also just generalized. if you eat the wrong fruits you also can eat whipped cream or chocolate. fructosis is just as bad as honey or sugar even worse for the teeth
What did I hear, "we lie about what we eat"...so all studies are suspicious? ????
Good luck to you. One size does not fit all.
@@AnneMB955 Body needs 9 basic amino acids (enough of them to make other 12 amino acids), some fatty acids, all minerals and vitamins, proteins and fat. Water. Eat whatever meets this criteria. Beef and eggs. Nothing is missing, you can eat this combination for rest of your life. And dont forget butter (yummy), some better salt (for sure), Celtic salt (82 minerals). Body is made from red meat and animal fat. Its true, try to c** yourself, you will see.
High fat carnivore healed so many lifelong conditions for me that I thought we're "normal" or part of "aging". We are just not eating our natural diets and that makes a big difference. Lookup "why we are carnivore by anthony chaffee" interesting stuff.
@@D4rkBl4de I feel great too, pain free, stronger. Even my nails are strong now..
Totally agree. Fatty meat has healed my guts, anxiety, eyes, nails and raging hunger. It’s all the proof I need.
People say the same about vegan. My SIL healed her chronic illness with a plant based diet. 😂
@@tripendicular See how many vegans are going carnivore after a few years being vegan. Usually people go from the SAD diet to vegan/vegetarian - so naturally they will be healthier. But after a few years the lack in essential amino acids and vitamins and minerals catch up with them. You have to be very vigilant in getting enough protein to be able to stay healthy on a vegan diet and unfortunately most plant protein are not as bio-available as meat.
Humans require 'essential amino acids' for optimal health. There is no such thing as essential carbohydrates. Let that sink in.
Eating natural food is hard for some ppl because they literally never have. It's all processed now. And even "healthy" food they managed to mess up. Learn to read labels. Knowledge is priceless.
and the other question is, why is it so damn expensive to eat healthily. and it has been become even more expensive after the last couple of years.
There is Soo much back and forth about what is good and what is bad, how can you be mad at anyone for not knowing what to believe?
Tried coconut oil. Not great cause it makes everything tastes like coconut. Very strange. Stick with olive oil but make sure it’s from one region or country. Lots of these olive oils are blended with some other countries . So spend more but get either Italian, Greek or 100% Spanish oil. Not a mix.
They make coconut oil that doesn't have a coconut taste to it! It actually has no taste at all! I'm sure u can probably Google where to purchase it and what brands to get!
Try to eat RAW faty beef and RAW eggs. Dont be scared of bacteria. Your body is full of them.
Try MTC oil! Yes its coconut, no it has no taste.
Avocado oil has a good omega 3 to omega 6 ratio and has a neutral flavor profile.
The question should really be is why do people not care about eating health, i've often asked this of myself and its because i'm lazy. There you go, solved.
Every time I opened my lunch at work the workers would say "Boy you eat healthy, good for you." It also was less than they were eating by weight. More vegetables than meat. But myself and my family on my father's mother's side were all in the 180 to 300-pound range and so was I.
…or too hard to change.
I am a carbohydrate machine with no meat & dairy am, fit, healthy & strong & have so much energy. Meat & fat leaves me sick and in pain.
Me too!!! Also from NZ ❤
@@AliciaYates-e7x awesome!
It's interesting how we seem to react so differently to food. I feel my best when I eat a lot of animal protein and fat. I also eat vegetables and fruit, etc.
So, I'm curious on their view about the food people in the blue zones (blue zones= regions were people get very old, are healthy, have low rates of cancer, obesity, diabetes...) consume. They hardly eat meat, most of them are vegetarians, they consume a lot of carbs, bit indeed not a lot of sugar. So I assume they are able to keep their blood sugar levels steady. Looking at the variety of diets people consume all over the world that are healthy and live long, it kind of boils down to me to just a handful important points. Eat food that is in season and locally available. Cook from scratch with fresh ingredients. Eat as divers as possible.
Just real food and leave the ultra processed food at the store. Sunlight sleep exercise and mindfulness
Sorry to disagree but Healthy Seeds, grains and fermented foods. Veg especially Green Leafy, Full Fat Greek Yoghurt, Oily Fish and a little Chicken/meat. At 81 feel better than ever for the last 2 years of this regime.
My mother fed us on 'meat and two veg' and we always had a pudding usually fruit crumble or sponge with custard. We were never hungry and snacks didn't exist. I know life is different now but with modern ways of cooking its still possible. Slow cooker stews and casseroles etc
It's very important for us to bring the truth to light in a World filled with darkness.
I love the points brought up in this documentary especially to the effect of causation vs correlation. This really clicks with me! I went vegetarian last year for 8 months. I ended up having incredibly low iron, B12s as I did not do this correctly. However, my switch was motivated by climate change and environmental footprint. I want the food industry to make radical changes in production standards to curb the harmful effects of meat production on the environment. Any comment on this?
Nicely done. Good sequel. 👍
Balance in diet is key
...This is the MOST CONFUSING "compilation" of health messages I've ever watched... because you can't tell which "school of thought" it actually promotes...😂...
Admittedly I'm only 8minutes in, but hopefully the address the fact that there is so much personal diversity and there is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL for diet. Factor in genetics and food intolerance. Someone might do fine on a high saturated diet while another it would be disastrous. Not what ppl wanna hear bc it makes it more confusing for some...
You just have to look at what we evolved to eat. We are apex carnivores, top of the food chains. We are eating a ton of different foods that we're not adapted to eat since birth, sometimes since baby formula and we destroy our metabolism/organs/systems. We have no means to process plant toxins like omnivores and herbivores do. We have no cecum to achieve this. It's really simple: look at our digestive organs, it's similar to a carnivore's, and our acid pH is extremely low, even lower than a lion's. I went high fat carnivore and it fixed so many lifelong ills for me. Just takes a bit for your body to get adjusted to the new fat burning metabolism. But if you can get through the transition, it's all worth it. They tell us to eat a "balanced" diet but it's all a fraud, no solid science behind it. We just evolved eating fatty red meat and they demonize it. No wonder we're all sick! "aging" is just because we're not eating right. Eat according to your biology, and you'll feel like you're 20 at 60 years old.
I feel the same way. The way this movie starts with immediate vegan-bashing which makes me want to believe them less. It is actually absurd to suggest there is 'this one way' and all other preferences are foolish. Makes them sound like politically motivated zealots and not rational individuals.
But two things are irreducible: too much sugar is bad and too much starch is bad.
absolutely. We have to combine knowledge, common sense and listening to your own body. There is no one solution for everybody. And often it’s trial and error but that’s okay.
@@ENDEVRDocsbut there is one solution. Eat organic and exercise. It never failed anyone yet.
Laziness contributes to poor eating
Most people just don't know the truth, they are indoctrinated by society since birth.
definitely part of it
So true
Nonsense
Laziness, in what way? Too easy to just say that.
I am 77, been riding the bicycle 7 days wk. since 1972, I have raced, toured, commuted, and am presently car-free.
I weighed 145lbs. in the Air Force in 1976 and weigh 148lbs. today. I eat pasta, vegetables, fruit, and a little parmesan.
Ciao.
42:50 is pure comedy 😂 . i thought it was satire but he’s serious 😂
Look up C15, it's an essential fatty acid basically impossible to get from plants. Without it, every cell in the body breaks down faster than normal, but especially the red blood cells. Now the food with the most of this fatty acids is hard, aged cheese made with milk from grass-fed ruminants. So it would be possible to do things ethically, be healthy even without meat in your diet if you throw in a multivitamin, but that would require a nuanced approach, and people gravitate more towards easy answers.
So, how does one reduce calories, whilst still eating animal fats? If I consume over 2500 calories, my weight goes up, but if I eat butter and lard, it's very easy to go over 2500 calories.
Excellent documentary. I don't care what i eat but I defiantly don't want to be misled by ideology industry or politics.
At 45:40ish saying food is an addiction is where I am at and I wish insurance would cover institutionalization. I need a fat farm I can't afford.
True that fruits will affect sugar levels but only if you go in crazy quantities. Eating in moderation will not have an affect to your insulin since the fiber will help the sugars to dissolve very slowly in your body. Balanced and not processed food according to your DNA is the best approach
I am allergic to red meat because I was bitten by the lone star tick and developed the alpha gal syndrome. Its a very interesting allergy. I went Keto and told my coworkers and they all freaked out and told me not to do it because of side effects but they were all overweight. I FINALLY LOST WEIGHT ON KETO, It was great. I have PCOS and am really bad carb addict. I crave them and obsess over food all the time it drives me nuts and it doesnt help to constanly feel food insecure. I love this documentary becuase its 100 percent true. You will lose weight by eating a high protien/high fat low carb diet just like Dr.Nows diet on TLC my 600lb life.
As a vegan for over 7yrs, I don't think about food all the time, I'm not preparing my food all the time, I've never had decreased energy, and I wouldn't eat this way if I was hungry all the time. Pls drop the stereotyping
Your way of eating is unnatural, humans have eaten primarily meat for millions of years. You can survive eating plants, but it's not ideal.
I don't think you speak for all vegans , nor can you represent all of them
@@late_apexx exactly, we're all individuals. I'd never want to speak for anyone but myself
But you will eventually feel the loss of muscle mass and bone mass.

I'm terrified of fizzy drinks. I tried multiple times of not drinking so much cola and only now I do small baby steps that are: since last week, I haven't drink it for 4 days. Hope it won't end here
If I eat red meat, I try to only eat grass fed beef, no burgers or any food from fast food restaurants as they always cook in seed oils( highly inflammatory) I do love a nice filet from a high end restaurant, but that’s it. It’s the quality of your food that should be your focus not whether it’s red meat or not. Same with chicken, do you think Costco rotisserie chicken is healthy just because it’s chicken? Heck no.
Eat what you want but just be mindful, eat healthily, eat garbage, fast at times, and exercise regularly, moderation is the key, balance it out, and just don't overdo it, especially if you're at the 'All you can Eat' buffet cart cos you think you have to eat loads to get your money's worth! 🙄It's your body, your health, should you take another slice of cheesecake?? How about a kebab after a night out? Hmm...
Might be right for you but many of us cannot follow that regime.
@@AnneMB955 Yes, guess it's not about the regime its more about your mindset and emotions. The Brain and Gut communicate with each other, our mood, our feelings and the decisions we make. If you can control your environment you are almost there. Make small changes and build it up and you'll have your own regime, ensure you log it in your diary to see your progress, if you see no results than tweek it and change it.
Most importantly is to Do your own research in whatever you do, learn it and understand it, read books to get your mindset in the right direction.

Remember, health and fitness is not a race to the finish line but the progress you make with time.
Good luck!
its crazy to me how resistant people are to the newer data that is coming out. That's what science is all about... learning and evolving. We can't continue to follow decades old , out dated information, as the gospel.
A lot of new data is funded by food or pharma. Still trust them?
@@AnneMB955no. I trust studies not funded by big food or big pharma . I also trust medical doctors that I follow who try to do cohort studies with the patients in their clinics bc big food/pharma would never fund them.

Ketobiotic with fasting…Dr. mindy
Dr. Mindy is not always correct.
Putting in Mic the Vegan was a nice touch
Believe it or not all you KETO people there are those of us since birth who have never liked meat. Even as a child I preferred fruits and veggies, any piece of meat I was served was drowned in ketchup. 66+ years old now feeling pretty darn good, in excellent health, much better than the fatties who are my contemporaries.
Educational for all!❤
I love coconut oil and eggs chicken bacon and spinach.
I have even used lard (beef tallow) with my food. It helps me to feel more full and makes food delicious.
Also I have Cushing's disease and may always be overweight. But with a spinal cord compression injury all I can do is eat bone broth strong collagen foods and try and feel as healthy as I can. my weight is something I have come to peace with and I have kept my blood sugar between 9_5 with only food. I am hoping that these things are going to be enough along with swimming and physical therapy.
Kinda funny how in Germany, people sometimes call Diabetes “Zucker Krankheit” - “Sugar disease” 😏🤓
@@melcraig9855 yep.
It’s so hard to eat real healthy even tho you think you are, until you go for a health checkup and find out that you have HBP or thicker blood (whatever term that is) from eating too much salt or sugar. Just one teaspoon of salt to season your chicken is already your max daily intake! Just one banana is already half your daily sugar intake. Fruits, Greek yoghurt and a lot of vegetables have sugar in them which our body cannot process properly too, just like added sugars. Stir fried, pan seared, oven baked or air fried foods all have AGEs in them which damage your body and cells. At this point we might as well eat nothing.
Also, fun fact: all steroid hormones made by the body start out as cholesterol. That's why people have more of it as they age and their glands can't make as many hormones as the body needs. So it's a symptom, not a cause of illness, so reducing it does nothing for health because it doesn't fix the underlying problem.
Many people are unhealthy and obese because hyper-palatable processed foods are abundant, available and addictive. And they are typically eaten, not for sustenance, but for pleasure or self-medication. People use food as a way to alter their moods and regulate their emotions in the same way that they would use drugs or alcohol. It has been established that our genes and microbiomes play a role in our propensity to become obese as well. So it's not just what we eat, it's why and how much, and how well our bodies and microbiota metabolize our food. It's not as simple as eating a ketogenic diet. We need fruits and vegetables for fiber, vitamins and minerals that are anti-oxidative and neuroprotective. Extreme diets are not healthy or sustainable. But balance and moderation are not sexy fodder for the media. Let's use some common sense, now, shall we?
Perhaps the current Language universally used “ -fat “ “ saturated fat” “ trans fats “, etc - is misleading : my belief is people will relate immediately to “Natural healthy dietary fats found only in real food “ as opposed to “Unnatural unhealthy manufactured fats.” . Indeed It is articulate and requires an effort during conversation but will possibly trigger reflection .
I've been plant-based for 30 years and have friends who have also practice the same lifestyle for over 50 to 60 years. This documentary promotes meat eating, period. Someone got paid and is most likely still getting paid from it. There are certain diseases that ONLY come from meat eating. Medical professionals know this but rarely say anything about it. This documentary is so sad.
Completely agree with you, I was thinking the same . So many diseases are dire linked to eating meat. ( let alone the torture of animals)
I com agree with you. I was thinking the same
Every one of these types of shows focus only on the diets of Americans. It's a huge world out there and it would be foolish to suggest the rest of the world shuns carbs/grains to maintain their health. Some of the healthiest cultures in the world eat rice, wheat/pasta/bread, legumes, etc... Visit any archeologically significant place in the US and you will see that our indigenous tribes grew a lot of carbs as a mainstay of their diets. Keto/low carb is almost entirely a US diet. We are not so different from other humans that we require a unique way of eating......so then we need to be asking WHAT is it that we consume that's so different than other countries. Look at what is allowed in our food supply that isn't allowed in other countries. Even our processing of meats isn't allowed in other countries (example, chlorinated chicken). We switched to home-milled, organic wheat and all of our labs improved tremendously just from that one, small switch.
Why is it so hard to eat healthy? Because they refuse to tell us what's ACTUALLY healthy. Low fat high carb is NOT it!
Because they don’t know either. LFHC definitely is very unhealthy.
@@LittleRadicalThinker Mixing fat and sugar is what's unhealthy. Once you eat enough bad oils and fat and carbs it messes up the pancreas, you are pretty much forced to avoid all sugar and carbs for the rest of your life. Meanwhile HCLF people are eating 20 bananas and 3 cups of rice and baked potatoes and pasta. Dietary fat and excess protein/iron/sodium causes large redblood cells, narrowing capillaries, and clotting. Clotting causes hypoxia. Hypoxia then runs on Iron. And then the iron sometimes goes nuts and swaps ions back and forth and impacts the dna. Then you have disease. Most seeds oils oxidize in your pantry. PUFAs take years to get out of your system.
Meat is not the food of warriors-it’s the food of hunter-gatherers. Warrior classes, hierarchy, walled cities, poverty, slavery, the fall of women etc., appeared after the conversion of the human diet to grains (ie., carbs) as a major caloric source.
Smoothies .. fruits and vegetables.. trust yourself.. how do you feel? How do you look?

Yeah, we totally should listen the facts presented by industry funded experts! What could go wrong..
The wrong way to do plant-based is replace everything with an alternative, not change your habits, do it only for the animals, not your health, replace all the vital nutrients from animals with... gluten... when you go "Vegan" you need to do it healthy and fresh. Bottom line, stop eating ultraprocessed, plastic packaged food filled with preservatives, numbers, weird words you cannot pronounce, Vegan or not. Listen to your body, know where you are in your health. Get rid of all ideologies and make sure what you do is from your own opinion and beliefs, not from an influence, which could be marketing from a corporation. HUMANS should eat WHOLE food. Not something with 10 ingredients to make 1 thing.
I disagree about the part with the exercise.
When I was at university I used to cycle 3-4 hours a day + other exercise too. I could eat what ever I wanted and I was still bordering on skeletal.
I used to be that way, too. As we grow older, insulin resistance and carb intolerance increase, so that even people who exercise and do the same things they used to do, it no longer seems to keep the fat off.
@@LauraB.335 When does that happen, though? I'm kind of sick of having to eat so much to maintain my energy, weight and muscle mass. It's expensive! 😂 39 year old female.
I'm sick of the sight of soy oil. As a carnivore I can't even buy a vitamin D3 capsule without it being made with soy oil. Everywhere you go these days medications and all sorts of things you want to buy are loaded with it. Just check the labels, that stuff is so cheap it's been shoved into everything.
Ok, but the bacon and the meet available is processed. I think that you should clarify to viewers that they should be careful when choosing their animal protein. Also, when eating people should control their portions, not because you can eat something they can eat too much of it. Furthermore, there are plenty of bad fish. I am so confused
