Thank you for your experience sharing ❤
Yes fiber! As u get older u can get backed up more! I've noticed. 😅
I started fasting to get leaner, but then I realized that it fixed all my gut problems that I had for 25 years. Haven’t stopped since.
Some people say fasting is bad for you, I suggest looking into it. Dr. David Atila I think his name is, stopped fasting after recommending it for years. There are other examples.
Which type of fasting do you practise?
can you share some details with us, please?
@@FootballFan4850 Well I used to suffer from blowing ALL the time. Sometimes I could eat something and was ok and every other day the very same thing would make me sick. Most of the time I would start feeling awful around 4pm. It was like my body was my worst enemy. Going out Friday night or for weekend out was very stressful cuz I never knew when my guts were gonna act out. I started doing the 16/8 fasting, initially for vanity to b e honest. My first meal was at noon and I would only have black coffee (grain never insta) or tea. Once in a blue moon even do a whole day so that my only meal is dinner. I soon realized that all my issues were gone. Not only the pain, the gas and the over all blowing, but also some foods that normally was a NO for me I could now digest. Also notice that now I would consistently evacuate with no trouble. My life quality has improved a lot.
Fasting did not effect your gut
I very much agree with elimination diet. When I started to eat more fiber and espacially lentils every meal, first week I was bloated as hell. But after a week it was all gone and I could eat as much as I wanted and I actually felt better mentally and physically. What you eat alters your microbiome and the diversity will make you feel better.
ABSOLUTELY.. Same with Milk - you can't go without dairy forever, and them say you are allergic bcs your fist glass causes you trouble... so many ppl make wrong conclusions robbing themselves of nutrient dense healing foods
Damn, this was very helpful. I think I need to give some foods more time to work in addition to changing how I eat
@@YouGotJeffdif you don't want to bloat try introducing legumes very slowly. Ex: one bite today, two in 3 days, etc
Fiber is very important for guy micro biome. However, you can’t just jump to high fiber diets overnight, you have to ease in. You also don’t need to be super high in fiber
Eating an apple between meals or 100 gr of peanuts is bad? I don't understand how this rule of having longer periods of not fasting applies?
I got a little teary eyed when you spoke about you having IBS as an adolescent. I suffered a lot from that too. When I turned 18 I went to my doctor and he simply told me, "eat more ruffage" and so I started eating more naturally and cured myself. Im so grateful for that turning point in my life. Im always evolving and love learning about nutrition. Ty for all these points! im 38 years old now and working on minimizing and eliminating alcohol intake and I feel great 💪🩷🙌
You just earned a new subscriber, thanks for highlighting an area in my life that needs addressed
I needed this video today. Thank you!
This is one of those things that seem to get over looked easily and is very important. Good info and video!
Good stuff, love it. Healthline has an article on almonds. I didn't know there were bitter and sweet almonds. And that bitter almonds are poisonous. See the article "Are Almonds Poisonous?" It also talks about certain nuts that are more likely to have "toxic mold." I feel better when I put nuts in something I'm cooking rather than eating them straight or uncooked.
Seaweed and pomegranate juice excellent for mucosal layer stimulates alkkarmansia to produce mucosal layer.
I identified the food phobias in my own behavior and knew it wasn't right. have always been hyper vigilant with routines and I did keto for a long time. developed a legit fear of bread and all carbs. use to go hungry if there were only carbs around to eat now I eat when i'm hungry and make sure my protein is way higher than carb but not afraid to eat carbs. still a journey.
You should fear carbs when you never move around, never do any sports or go to gym. Glucose is good in sports for refueling glycogen and form skeletal muscle. But if you never do any sports? It become health problems such as diabetic, etc.
Thank you Thomas!
This was so helpful. Funny enough, through trial and error I have learned to find the foods that make a happy gut. 80% of your list was also my experience, so I was nodding along the whole time lol. Thanks for sharing!❤
i completely trashed my gut drinking as a teen and in my early 20s and it took years to heal, what worked for me was avoiding garbage fast food (especially deep fried food), just cooked at home and ate smaller meals, used cayenne pepper, later on in an effort to have visible abs i came up with a diet that consisted of mostly chicken, brown rice and varieties of frozen veg. i employed the 6 small meals a day with meat being the largest portion veg in second and the rice was more like seasoning so i was low carb but extremely consistent and i seasoned the tiny meals with olive oil, acv, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. that might sound gross but i really leaned out while not only maintaining strength but gaining to the strongest i've ever been, so there's something to be said for consistency and eating relatively the same thing, it's easier to modify portions with what already works... on a side note i have experimented with gelatin and in my experience gelatin can definitely help your stomach and i have recommended it to my gf who also seems to have gut issues, the literature suggests gelatin can heal leaky gut which most people probably have to some degree
Very helpful advice thankyou
Issue with that is that bad gut biome
Thank you very much
The timing of the video was fate! I was in the ER last night with a really bad GI bug, or colitis (they dont know what it is yet). I felt I took decent care of my gut, but now I'll pay extra attention. My first "meal" since the ER has been bone broth, it felt soothing!
Whenever I get anything GI that’s bad I start fasting.
So what was it…..
@@_baller the ER people tried to say it was a virus and not what I ate. but I told them I really think it was from my poor diet whilst on vacation. I went to get a second opinion from a doc, the doc said try and avoid gluten. all of my symtoms were gone the next day. a week later I ate a meal with a lot of gluten and my symtoms came back for 2 days.
@@touchmoss yeah could have been a stomach bug, crazy it made you go to hospital tho, gluten intolerance is pretty rare, but if it works to avoid it then so be it, the best diet for gut health is one that has vegetables and fruits in it, but western diets have become less of those and more processed foods
Amen about the alcohol. Huge props for taking a solid stand in it.
get this, some good points as always, cheers
*Thank you!*
One of your best videos. More like this please!
Thomas, this is one of your best videos!
I agree on the almonds and it actually showed up on a recent food sensitivity panel I did!
First it was Celiac, though I eventually (ten years!) figured that out and felt a lot better. But Xanthan Gum is what really stumped me. I had IBS for years until I figured that one out too. Still wasn't quite right though. Carnivore and Apple Cider Vinegar is what appears to have helped reset me 100%! I can't tell you how much I appreciate being normal again! :) I'm down to all my "safe" things and slowly adding back to see what I get along with and what I don't. It's along slow process, but totally worth it.
Great 👍🏻 intel…
Thank you
For sharing……….
duuuuuuuuude! This was is so relatable. I was set up early on for really fcked up guts with twice a year antibiotics all growing up and chronic stress that further degraded the balance of everything. Im approaching 40 and it is my second full time job to just experiment with and manage my gut health since it lays at the core of every other issue I have. What you said here though is like a synopsis of my own life learning around food and digestion etc. I feel so validated right now. lol But I still haven't been able to adapt to hardly any fiber. Two meals a day spaced out with a third small meal or snack. All lowish fat, lower fiber, medium carb and high lean protein seems to be best, generally. Also low dairy and no gluten and ABSOLUTELY NO alcohol. That stuff will wreck me. Can't touch it.
Perhaps it would be interesting to see an updated what-i-eat-in-a-day video 😊
I seem to be fine having no fiber, a small amount of fiber, or a ton of fiber. I'm currently doing a small amount of fiber and not having any of the issues you've mentioned. This is why it's so important to experiment yourself and don't take other people's word as absolute fact. What's bad for Thomas doesn't mean it will be bad for you.
For me it's the same! I eat small amounts of fiber and for me it's better than zero or much fiber.
I mean there is also a need to get acclimated to any drastically new diet, especially for fiber. Lots of people just throw tons of fiber in their diet out of no where and it hurts their diet. You can’t just jump to that you’d have to acclimate slowly
You still need fiber for long term health regardless of how you feel
Thank you so much!!! I am vegan and still you always have so much good information, praise God for your help
I’m 35 days sober but your point on alcohol made me very very sad. I’m 39 and giving up booze is gonna be tough man.
Love to see some studies on dietary fibre compared with no fibre/high fat eating. The Carnivore docs tend to agree that we don’t need fibre. On the other hand I understand we are responsible for our own well-being and make decisions for our betterment. Great presentation. 👏
Thank you for the information provided. Would you mind sharing what your daily food intake is? Many thanks, Craig
Great videos Thomas! Always very informative. Curious if you would consider doing a review on a product called IQ Bar. Been eating them for awhile and curious to hear your thoughts on the ingredients. Thank you.
Always changing your mind
You are so unbiased and don't confirm to confirmation bias, i have utmost respect for you appreciate your work. In here you will get the most best unbiased nutritional information
Thank you!!🎉
Thank you Nancy
this is great info. moderation is key. always learning and a far cry from keto, carnivore or any other extreme eating plan... as for alcohol, leave it for that once in a blue moon special occasion.
AIcohoI was fine when I was younger, I drank every weekend & then drank alot during a bad depression in late 90's. No real problems. But when you're older it's another story and esp. forwomen.
@violetfem1808 same here. Alcohol can wreck my stomach now with age unlike when I was younger . I usually need a whole day to recover not from a hangover but from serious stomach problems. And sometimes one drink can do that to me
@@Betterlaylow1 Oh those hang overs ! I was in Vegas, I think I was about 35. Had way too much fun with free drinks at the bIkjack tables & slots. The next day I was bedridden & barely was able to get myself ready to go out to eat dinner ! I can't handle it so I know my limitations now. I might have done better if I had brought my brewersYeast tabs.🤓 Even Pedialyte wasn't much help lol. I really feel bad for your situation tho if you risk the pain just with one drink. uggg. Hopefully it's some digestion thing you can clear up? Or find a drink that doesn't do that to you?
Your content is unmatched Sir! What brand of cottage cheese and what fat percentage Sir? Is that a good food to rebuild the gut? I find that cardio really helps me with my gut issues.
Meal spacing has been the best for my gut by far. No snacks and meal spacing!
SAME. I eat a good sized breakfast & then don't eat till dinner. During that time I sip on water, have coffee, ice tea or warm tea in cooler months. No dessert anymore either. I eat the most in mornings
100%. I work in film production and shoot days I always end up grabbing things throughout the day and ultimately I end up with a major food hangover including brain fog. Have to follow up with OMAD to get my energy back.
i do my last meal at 8 pm then i fast untill 2-4pm the next day. it has seriously turned my gut around very fast. i also use prokinetics during this time to help some SIBO/SIFO related issue i have. fasting is so healing!@@violetfem1808
yep for sure. i feel tons better eating nothing. as soon as i eat i can feel my energy go down.@@georgemaranville3305
I’ve had gut issues with walnuts! , I’ve not had any when I discovered that they are super healthy and started eating them. I think it developed gradually, though - the more frequently I was consuming them, the more bloating/ pains I had afterwards. It took me a few painful nights to realise what was causing the discomfort.
Also when you soak them overnight?
I am so glad that someone else has realized that almonds are inflammatory/high oxalate content. They should be consumed in moderation or even not at all. I avoid spinach and other high oxalate foods as well and my inflammation issues have practically ceased to exist
Except that there was a study that Almonds are fantastic for reducing wrinkle depth in skin. Tough choice. I've started eating them but then dropped some of the other oxalates I can do without.
Almonds are a high phytoestrogen... wonder if that's reason for wrinkle depth help. Estrogen=puffy-er....
Millions of us cannot eat any kind of nuts or oxalates, ever. Autoimmune. Never ever works to add back in even though I try.
Phyto estrogens are non-mammalian. Your body doesn't literally convert or utilize non mammalian hormones into creation of mammalian hormones. A persons genetics and gut microbiome dictate how phyto hormones/nutrients are assimilated. Just like anti nutrients such as phytates, oxalates, so on; so forth. You can build up the bacteria to break down anti nutrients eliminating most if not all of the negative effects when combined with proper food preparation/cooking and increasing all the positive health benefits of the plants that prople seam to fear. Obviously there are people who will face adversity no matter how much they try to plentify their gut with the right bacteria, but im more than certain the number of people in that category is far lower than most would ever suspect. Ben bulsiwics, whom thomas had on his channel recently is an amazing wealth of knowledge in regards to research of this kind.
Your skin rejuvenation could easily be attributed to the high vitamin E content of almonds. Sunflower seeds are one of the few other foods that contain higher levels of all 8 forms of vitamin E than almonds. Keep your omega 3:6 ratio within a 1:2 ratio with some flax or chia and youll be good.
Bread did it for me. Gave me IBS. Can't do chili anymore or any grains. Going to do my best to go carnivore now and see how that goes. Also intermittent fasting
As someone w Crohn's this guy is giving golden advice
The man!
Thanks Thomas. Do you know other way to increase motility?
Interesting way of putting it! I eat a no fiber carnivore diet and have for decades- yet I do #2 at least once a day. Fiber containing foods give me diarreah the longer I eat them. To be said, I only drink water, no coffee, tea, alcohol soft drinks or even carbonated water.
Congrats....I LOL'd at "go out and eat a pigeon" and the accompanying wing rustle sound effect.
My first keto journey I got crippling kidney stones halfway up a Welsh mountain and almost passed out from the pain. My wife swore it was the pretty huge amount of almonds I was consuming so I cut that out - no problems since so far...
Yeah almonds has TONS of oxalates so they were guaranteed the culprit.
I can attest to needing fiber. I haven't been eating much of it and I drink too much coffee/tea so constip. started and it created a bad cycle. Just adding a little more fiber is helping but I'm not doing it too fast with too much!
Make sure you're getting enough water. I've done low or no fiber when I was eating mostly carnivore, and stayed regular. I was drinking energy drinks and 10 cups of coffee at work, but I also was drinking at least a gallon of water.
@@Odinson601I thought that would be bad cuz then your body just doesn’t use up all the water you drink. Also doesn’t that lower electrolytes or other things?
Hey man any way we can get a list of what supplements you take daily?
Try to eat your almonds soaked for 24 or more hours and remove the peel. The problem should be gone (it's in the peel)
The nuts were kicking my ass, especially peanuts. Most companies spray the nuts with hot seed oil instead of roasting and i think that is part of the reason.
Peanuts are grown on land rotated with cotton which is sprayed with all kinds of chemicals that are not used on food crops.
Curious to know if you’ve tried eating only almonds without the skin and if you could handle that better or if it’s just almonds in general.
Thanks for this info on more fiber🙏🏿☺️🙏🏿☺️🙏🏿☺️
I have read that the gut biome is very adaptable to your diet as long as your not eating gut destroyers like processed foods, medications esp antibiotics and alcohol and such....
Totally agree with your experience with fiber. ME TOO!
yeah, On the alcohol one, I have cut down a lot, which helped me lose weight, but really now considering quitting completely. Interesting thoughts on the elimination thing here also
Pull the trigger and get rid of it man. I’m 23 and literally quit drinking when I was still 21. It’s hard because it’s such a social thing to do, but it’s so worth it
Gelatin/collegen (supplement or bone broth) is the best hidden gem takeaway on this topic. Gelatin is cheap and easy to add a bit into baking/sauces.
Everything else was just common sense.
add pre/Probiotics too but i dont want an ineffective probiotic or fork out the money for seed. So i add more yeast/nutriontional yeast/0fatsug greek yogurt/fermented foods (Sauerkraught/kimchi ftw)
WIth almond and hazel nuts i tend to react to the thin brown skin around them, in nut mixes without the skin the nuts do not really trigger an bad reaction
I saw some program about shopping in U.S grocery, for me European is insane because i don`t know that sausages - i check it "Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Pork Smoked Sausage"
have more than 30 ingredients!! Most of them you can`t find on you kitchen desk but only in laboratory. Insane stuff.
Yes, high fiber is amazing. It's one of the main benefits of whole plant food based diet (I'm not dogmatic though and will eat some animal products... but it's minimal)
I also found taking almonds out was advantageous to my digestion -- it was a super bummer 😪
Alcohol in my opinion should be banned and destroyed all together. In a perfect ideal world, that would happen. It doesnt only damage our guts, but damages the brain, careers, kills people, breaks up families, friendships etc. Thank you Thomas for standing up to harms of alcohol so clearly❤
Alcoholism took my younger brothers life just 2 months ago. I’m very sad and lonely without him. He was my only family left. I knew he needed help, I BEGGED him to check into a inpatient facility and get sober, but he wouldn’t. He was only 45 years old when he died. 😢
Could it be the lectins in almonds that cause the abdominal distress?
My gut health has always been poor and it's not until my later years that I am trying to do something about it. IMF has been a life changer. There are so many foods I have sensitivities to that I'm always at some level of inflammation. To periodically remove all food out of the equation to give my body a break has been wonderful. I still avoid the foods I have sensitivities to but I can now eat other foods in moderation that previously would have set me off (like Carrots - if you have hay fever your body sometimes sees this as grass and it gets triggered) just because all my other sensitivities are high. As for almonds - yeah I can't do many of those either - previously I was fine with them, as I got older, not so much: very limited raw, can't do almond milks. I also cut out alcohol 100%.
Same here. The best I've ever felt in decades was going 48+ hours no food at all.
I go 24 hours daily without food. Just doesn't work for me anymore. I've gotten much worse. Bedridden.

@@hazy9785 Nevermind
friendly tip: soak your almonds, then pinch, and the almond will basically slip out of the skin. without the skin, they may not give you much trouble.
I think I'll just not eat them.
Isn't most of the nutrition in the skin? I agree with soaking overnight or for 24 hours but then drying them out in the oven on a low heat.
In the skin is much lectins this is hard to digest
What about Almond Butter, would it be easier to digest?
@@Rubs009 Eating almond butter may mean that your body would be able to absorb more of the nutrients, compared to not chewing almonds thoroughly, which would lead to almond pieces just passing through your body, losing those nutrients. But that is not the issue mentioned here. What we're referring to here is a substance in the skin of the almond, which protects the almond from being eaten by pests (insects) -- it serves as an irritant, or a poison. For some people, this substance causes irritation in their bodies -- digestive system or otherwise. That is why I suggested soaking and removing the skin. If you made almond butter with skinless almonds, that would also solve this problem. 😊
I used to have bad reactions to almonds. I was eating handfuls throughout the day, I can handle about 1/4 cup per day without adverse effects.
quitting alcohol was the best thing i’ve done. it helped with weight loss, helped my my stomach digest food better and mentally i feel better than ever
Were you an alcoholic ?
@ability_group7403 probably at some point yeah
Great info thanks, but I wouldn't use that "fry lite" spray stuff, it's rapeseed oil and seed oils are highly inflammatory, insulin resistance causing and carcinogenic. You could spray with olive oil instead. See dr Cate Shanahan and dr. Chris Knobbes. Regards
Absolutely love Kettle and Fire’s beef bone broth and was so excited to hear about your partnership with them but it’s sold out!! Thomas - please tell us where you’re getting yours?! I crave that stuff like no other lol
I live in PA and it’s at all of our grocery stores
100 % Agree with low fiber experience! It’s not for me.
Oh I agree about the almonds!! Do you know what kind of nuts I’ve found never increase inflammation in my gut?
Pecan and macademias are safe bets 🙂
love all of the videos of you eating lol
I haven't been a heavy drinker since the 80's, but when I decided to beat diabetes, I stopped drinking altogether, and aside from an occasional red wine (which I still don't drink) I don't miss it. It's hard for me to eat too much saturated fat because I avoid too much heme iron, which seems to come with it (red meat.) I feel better when I'm eating a lot of wild salmon, and getting an avocado a day. I also seem to do better when I eat fewer nuts, but for me, I think it's somewhat empty calories (I.E., not meat, by which I swear.)
PS: N=1 applies to the one. I have absolutely no issues with low fiber.
Id like you to do an interview with Sally K Norton. Author of Toxic Superfoods.
I’ve never related to a video more!
Hello, so i just been diagnosed with mild diverticulosis. And honestly can not get a straight forward answer to what may cause these flare ups. But alot that you covered in this video sounds similar to exactly what my health care provider said. MORE fiber, MORE water. But researching online, some say stay away from red meat, some say only meats and no fiber. Some say fast and do OMAD. Im new to this, and the pain is unbearable at times. Just reaching out to the community to see if anyone has or had similar experience.
What are the flare ups like?
@TheBroLounge started off as lower back pain for several months. Then it was like a pulled muscle on my left side. Then it felt like I had a Ballon in my pelvic area. Thought maybe it was an enlarged prostate. The pain was everyday. Most days it was a 4/10 on pain chart. Some days after working it would be 8/10.
Had MRI done that diagnosed me with mild diverticulosis. Weird because 2 months prior I had a colonoscopy and that came back good.
I been drinking a ton of water and taking fiber supplement and seems to take the pain down to about 1/10. Don't know if I'm hypersensitive to the area or still in light pain.
@@robertovillarreal8702 interesting. If you still have pelvic pain it could be Pelvic Pain Syndrome which stretching helps with.
My theory on fiber is that rather than fiber having an isolated benefit that everyone needs, it's actually just helping problems that are caused by refined carbs; it explains why studies show a lack of fiber leads to so many health issues, while carnivore community can skip the fiber without having issues. Hope I can see more studies of fiber in carnivore and keto groups rather than just the standard american diet.
This is wrong in so many ways. Did you really just say carnivore people have no issues? Good God you are extremely brainwashed about that fad diet. Keto and Carnivore are extremely unhealthy long term. Stop ignoring the science in favor of UA-camrs and steroid freaks opinions.
Carnivores have tons of issues in their guts because of lack of both pre and probiotics what are you on about
Naaaaaaailed it.
Excellent video. My experiences are the same as your conclusions so far. I have many severe autoimmune diseases so I truly can never eat many foods ever again.
I've been trying to add back in lots of different foods for 7 yrs, complete disaster. Anaphylactic shock every single day.
Omad, stayed underweight for 7 yrs then gained back 65 lbs.
I get too sick if I eat more than 1x daily.
*I love your flexibility in changing foods as your body changes, as science changes.
Agree , when i was eating lots of carbs + decent amount of fiber probably around 25-35, I never had any problems with going to the bathroom. Once upon a time i tried low carb keto diet with 20 carbs but i was probably eating like 40 fiber or more a day (because of insane amount of veggies i was told to eat) i was heavily constipated and my life turned into hell, then i tried carnivore which means 0 fiber and this ruined my entire life, everything was even worse than with very high fiber. My conclusion after all this experience is eat what your body tells you to and be smart about it, try out things very slowly and carefully, my last 8 months was extreme hell and now im tryng to heal my gut to get back on my high carb unprocessed diet where i felt amazing. All this happened to me was because ive heard from someone that if i change my HC diet to keto right away its going to change my life in a good way forever and here im struggling everyday. Stay safe and stay smart, Remember!!
What you ate as carnivore? So you went cold turkey? Any minerals or supplementations taken during transformation?
@@Radoslav-gk7wu 2lbs of red meat a day or more, supplementation was top notch with magnesium potassium etc.
How about bone broth for substituting my chicken stock when making rice will that still have the same benefits?
Apparently, I've been a good student of yours Thomas over the past 1.5 years because I have already implemented every single thing you mentioned. I even impressed myself! I was ahead of you on the almond reduction, and always kept the fiber. (grateful). There is a gut bacteria that improves the mucosal layer (actually lives there). the strain is Akkermansia, Pendulum Products currently is the only company that makes it. They recently come out with a lower dose at a lower price to be more accessible. I've no connection except I've purchased the product. I'm currently working on the saturated fat. My new discovery is that Macadamia Nut oil in hot coffee is not bad in place of MCT oil. Thanks so much!!
How long did you take Akkermansia for and what did you feel?
@@socratese5 I’ve been taking for over a year, daily, physically feel great but the big difference is my mental clarity and enhanced empathy and gratitude. It’s insane to me, research supports these effects, but to actually see for yourself makes it worth the effort.
@@rebecca3745 Wow that sounds great, thanks for the info on Akker, I’m definitely going to add it to my diet, thank you 👍
Question: why doesn’t Kettle & Fire bone broth become a jelly in the fridge?? When I make bone broth it always becomes like a jello when it is chilled. It must not contain much collagen. I was disappointed when I bought some. Definitely will just make my own.
Hey Thomas, maybe your problem with almonds is the lectins. According to dr. Gundry they're extremely high in them, also cashews are too.
I was about to say the same thing! We have moved to blanched almonds as almond skin if full of gut shredding lectins. Dr Gundry suggests blanches almonds are fine.
Hey Thomas, ? about the alcohol piece: I’ve recently been making my own water kefir and have found that it has benefited me with overall gut health. Not only do I have better BMs and feel less bloated, but I just overall feel good. But from what I’ve heard, as a byproduct of fermentation, there can be small amounts of alcohol produced in water kefir. I’m not sure about exact amounts. But would this not be considered of any significance as long as you are getting the beneficial bacteria/microbes that possibly outweigh the effects of the alcohol?
The benefits far outweigh the downsides.
Its is also individual on how certain foods affects you. If it works for you and improved your health conditions, why stop as long as you don't experiance any negative side effcts?
Well the concentration of alcohol in a standard drink would be orders of magnitude higher than in your kefir, the tiny bit in the kefir won’t affect you at all, in fact a lot of foods already have tiny concentrations, but vodka and spirits are nearly pure alcohol
What percentage of my diet should be carbohydrates and what protein?
i never had problems eating more fiber. but the SCFA-GLP-1 pathway was never enough to fix my excessive hunger. until i found out that certain artificial sweeteners like in coke zero alter my gut microbiome in a way that my L-cells did not produce enough satiety hormones.
so, i did go to meat and eggs as a elimination diet and day by day my satiety feeling came back and cravings went away. it is a tool to reset my gut microbiome and i try to avoid some artificial sweeteners. i now try allulose and it seems to not kill my L-cells and satiety hormones are still working. but i am not super strict with carnivore. i just know that it is a tool to reset my gut microbiome to start new and introduce low carb vegies.
Starting pigeon diet tomorrow!
When I was eating 3-6 meals per day, I was fully constipated and have a lot of gut problem, after I started IF, all those problems disappeared, just like many others however, I can't eat too much fiber, though, I'm too sensitive to fiber and makes me bloating and giving me too much gas, so I just take some phyllium but not big doses and now everyday at morning everything goes out perfectly. Best
I am the same way. I have an very active lifestyle where I do track and field plus I walk 15k steps and lift weights so I do #2 at least 4 times a day. Husk makes me do two instead of 4 by adding volume
At first I way overdid pysillium (too lazy to fix spelling) and it bloated me. Now I do less than a teaspoon in water first in a.m.
Re almonds, I eat lowish carb, & few oxalates & phytates, but have found that too many almonds drive inflammation, fir me, especially with the skins on, or coarse almond meal, as opposed to blanched almongs or blanched almond flour. I can get away with a handful of raw almonds every other day, at most.
Almonds tear me up too, you aren't alone
Almonds are super hard to digest so I definitely agree with that one.
Don’t you eat them now?
@@Manos-de-Piedra when I do I usually regret it lol
VERY true about nuts and I stopped eating almonds because of what you described. I soaked and skinned them but that didn't work.
What are you eating now day to day?
I try not to eat raw nuts anymore, I now soak them for 24 hours or so then dry them out in the oven on a low heat. They're crunchier and taste better as well.
How long do you put them in the oven for and at what temperature?
Eliminate almonds?! But I already eliminated wheat flour to make my cakes, muffins, brownies, pancakes.. to my daughter’s lunch box. I agree with you it’s a lot almonds and I don’t like it neither! So now I’m replacing the half amount of almonds flour in the recipe for gluten-free flour . Any another suggestions?
Thanks for the video
There are lots of other nut flours you might try, or coconut flour, rice flour? I hope you find something suitable 👍
Flaxseedpowder
Cannabis seed powder
Pumpkin seed powder
buckwheat powder
Millet powder
Try not to simulate the way you used to eat.
just make sure to use almond flour that has been made from blanched almonds (skin removed)
What do you mean when you say things like “flare up” or “stomach inflammation” ??
Chocolate rice cakes with peanut butter are awesome! It's better for you than ice cream!
Kettle and Fire bone broth is also HSA/FSA eligible.
That pidgeon line got me 😂😂
Would have loved some simple sound design on the transitions and pop ups.
What about almond milk?
Pigeons lol 👍🏼ur humour is refreshing 💚👌🏼
