My mom grew up in an agrarian village in rural Greece, so i know what my ancestors had been eating for hundreds (or thousands) of years. My mom's family ate one chicken from the flock per week. They foraged herbs and leafy greens. They had potatoes, olive oil, and goat cheese year around. They only slaughtered goats as the herd size allowed. So not often. They had fruiting trees too. Almonds, figs, citrus, and of course olives. They did not have cane sugar. "Dessert" was a fig with an almond in it.

[@cherrieaulait]

That sounds so delicious & in harmony with the land & animals. Cane sugar really destroys the taste buds I find, I can't enjoy the flavours of other foods after it, but if I stay off processed food, sugar & grains, other foods start to taste better. But nothing beats the flavours & nutrients of slow growing your own fruit & veg. Oh wow, your comment has got me dreaming again of an orchard one day!

Only one issue i Have with this Video. The Vitamin K. Theres actually a vitamin K2 that we require much more than the K1 found in leafy greens that arent actually bioavailable and full of pesticides( these leafy greens are on the dirty dosen list). Vitamin K2 is found in RED MEAT and fermented vegetables as well as in some dairy. The K2 deficiency is now believed to be one of the major causes of arterial plaque build up. The K2 is required to control Calcium placement in the bones and teeth but since we lack it. Calcium ends up building up in micro lessions in the arteries walls caused by inflamation.

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Well said. This is one of the main issues that's not recognised enough, for the reason behind heart attacks. Calcium build up in arteries is a major issue and K2 can regulate that perfectly. K2 naturally found in red meat.

[@ladislavtrojak4328]

There is more to it. Bacteria produce only MK7 form, that is not bioactive. We need MK4 that is synthesized only by animal tissue. So you can NOT get K2 from plants like fermented soy, natto. You can only get bioactive vitamin K2 MK4 from animal food - meat, eggs and dairy.

[@Dave.O]

Then why is there a positive correlation between red meat consumption and heart attack and heart failure? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm curious.

[@someguy2135]

As you pointed out, K2 can be obtained from eating certain fermented vegetables, so eating meat is not needed to get all the K2 needed for optimal health. Red meat is a probable carcinogen, and has high levels of saturated fat leading to increased Cardiovascular disease (CVD.) Our ancestors did not live as long as we do today, and populations who eat basically nothing but animal products today live about 10 to 20 fewer years than others in the same country. For example, the Inuit of Canada who live 10 fewer years and the Maasai of Tanzania who live 20 fewer years.

I did a sort of keto for 7 months. I avoided processed food and drink and tried to keep carbs less than 25g per day. My only Achilles heel was alcohol. I switched to vodka soda from my go to rum and Coke. I did minimal exercise but did walk for at least 3000 steps per day. Sometimes 3000, sometimes 10k or 20k per day (made and effort to move around a lot more). I didn’t specifically exercise or do a lot of cardio. I ate almost exclusively what grew in the ground or what came from an animal (tried to stick to organic meats, not ones pumped full of steroids). I completely cut out anything with high fructose corn syrup in it. I lost around 75 lbs in those 7 months, and after I was done with that “experiment,” whenever I ate anything processed like fast food it made me feel extremely ill and was a guaranteed trip to the toilet. That was 4 years ago and I’ve kept all but 8 lbs of it off. I still enjoy food a lot and did during that entire time, just not processed garbage. It changed my life, honestly, and I feel much better today.

[@MattSmith-yq3rr]

Good for you! I would suggest the lack of foods high in sugars (fructose + corn syrup) had a larger part to play and were hard to avoid in the beginning until you learned what to look for? I'm interested to know how you were able to identify, and therefore avoid, meats with lots of steroids? Also, regarding the steps, I've been trying to keep then up myself. I find 3k is my bare minimum (I now feel lethargic if I haven't done 5k), 10k is about average, but how do you get 20k in?? There's a big jump to 20k steps (about 8.5miles) if you're only used to a quarter of that?? I can only do it on exceptional occasions like if I go for a nice long walk in the hills, which I really should do more

[@lexibat7829]

Yep. I gained 60lbs after I got clean, and was suffering from debilitating sugar crashes. Doctors said I didn't have diabetes, so I was fine. I started doing research on the internet, and learned what insulin resistance is. I learned that the ketogenic diet treats insulin resistance. So I started eating keto & intermittent fasting, and lost those 60lbs in 6 months. My blood sugar no longer spikes and crashes. My skin cleared up, I sleep better, and have more energy. I started having "cheat treats" one day a week-- like 2 chocolate chip cookies from the grocery store bakery, for example. But, i noticed that when I eat processed foods like that, my skin breaks out and I feel sorta "blah." If I eat a "cheat treat" like an organic sweet potato, I'm fine. I think I could even eat the occasional cookie or whatever, if it was made with grass fed butter instead of hydrogenated oils! Anyway, keto changed my life, too. I'm all about protein and veggies now, and cooking everything myself/ making my own meals from whole food ingredients. (I used to eat a vegan diet, but keto makes me feel the best out of any diet I've tried).

[@spookyghoul5078]

Archeologist here! The Paleo "Diet" really focuses on muscle meat and while Proteins are essential for physiological needs, what is often overlooked is how much organ meat was eaten at any given time. Only in the last 40 something years we stopped eating organ meats and bone marrow in favor of muscle meats. Also the nutrient density and fibre content in modern vegetables and fruit are VASTLY different than in the paleolithic era. So the Paleo Diet is just another trend that is followed. But i love your take on the Mediterranean Diet !

Our ancestor's diet depended more on the season than our current diets. We have access to food that is grown thousands of miles away at its peak of freshness or packaged to last months. Also the produce today probably looked, tasted, and differed in nutrition than what we have today. We have made Brussel sprouts more palatable within the last 20 years alone. Our ancestors probably didn't eat three square meals a day. More likely they feasted whenever there was food and went longer periods without food than the average citizens of the world today.

​​@@dealarrNon sequitur. They aren't feeding you vegetables because they are full of the required nutrition, but because they are cheap. If you look up nutrition profiles of food and the required nutrients of humans, you can get everything you need from a ruminant like a cow or sheep. Vegetables and plants in general provide incomplete or less available nutrients. Requiring you to eat a lot more to get the same nutrient level. Add to that, the fact that a majority of vitamins are fat soluable and it becomes necessary to eat fat in you diet in order to absorb the nutrients properly. You aren't getting that from broccoli. Nothing wrong with eating veggies, but they are not a good main source in nutritional health if you do any amount of research beyond confirmation bias.

There is a big issue with lack of minerals in foods that are supposed to have said minerals. Many of the soils upon which our foods are grown are depleted. Farms replenish some of them through different methods, but minerals such as magnesium and zinc are not being replenished. You can grow whichever vegies are supposed to be rich in these, but if the soil lacks them the vegies do not produce them out of thin air. I believe magnesium is currently one of the minerals soils are most deficient off, and thus lacking as a nutrient in our diets.

Magnesium and zinc absolutely are being replenished, mate, most modern industrial fertilizers have a main component, but also several micro-components which include these minerals. You can also buy natural ones, but they are much more expensive. The real reason isn't in the soil, but in the varieties we grow today - all of our food sources currently have roughly only 1/3 of the nutrients they used to have in the 50's, yet we still use spreadsheet from that period (so when a doc tells you to eat an apple, nowadays you would have to eat three in order to get the same amount of nutrients, but then you'll be ingesting a LOT more sugar as well, because that's the only component we can influence when making new varieties with bigger yields).

The first result for exo carbs: In long-duration exercise, a greater contribution of exogenous carbohydrate (carbohydrate ingested in beverages or other foods) will spare liver glycogen, prevent a drop in blood glucose concentration, and help maintain the high rate of carbohydrate oxidation necessary to sustain exercise intensity.

I recently made a change to my daily diet. And lost 25 pounds! Previously, my typical breakfast included a raisin bran muffin or something similar, coffee, a small orange juice, yogurt, and some fruit such as pineapple, a banana, and peaches. While I was still working (I am retired now), I usually had a sandwich with cold meat and cheese on whole wheat bread for lunch. My dinner varied among beef, chicken and fish, with either pasta, rice, or potatoes and some kind of vegetables. And I usually drank milk with lunch and dinner. I had slowly gained weight over the past 20 + years, and even though I stopped having lunch after retiring, I continued to gain weight with most of the fat gain around my middle torso. So I decided to make a change to skipping the muffins, being high in carbohydrates, and changing to a breakfast of stir-fried onion, peppers and mushrooms, with some ham, and then cracked a couple of eggs on top, going with more protein. I also changed to Greek yogurt with no added sugar. Dinner stayed mostly the same. After two weeks, I lost three pounds. I then extended the list and cut out desserts, and milk, after I realized I was drinking it out of habit with dessert. I continued to lose weight and over five or six months lost 25 pounds. I didn't increase my level of exercise during this time, but continued the fairly active life I always have been. At the same time I started to log my calories. It's hard to say that it played a part because I don't know what my old calorie count was, but it did give me a sense of control over what I was eating. I am inclined to say cutting out the extra carbs made all the difference. And the effects were seen almost right away.

[@PoeLemic]

Thank you for sharing that with us. Here's what I learned about breakfast. If you eat a bigger one (almost anything, not muffin -- but like protein), then you stay full longer in the day. So, if I do that, then I am not as likely to want to really soak up calories during lunch. And, possibly, I burn it off more too. So, that might be what you are experiencing, exactly as what I have found through some experimentation. But, whatever is working for you, that's awesome. Just keep it and up, and do stay healthy in your retired years. I want you & everyone else healthy.

I am glad that you got healthy again. Yes, cutting out the fruit and milk were the biggest contributors. I have started gaining a lot of weight when I became accustom to adding whole milk to my coffee (and I would drink 4 small cups a day). And of course the fructose in fruits sticks to the body much, much longer than other sugar types do. I learned that the hard way. I lost a huge amount of weight when I stopped drinking drinks with high fructose corn syrup (I mean a LOT of weight melted off me. Drinking drinks with cane sugar does nothing to add weight to me). I know that I should cut down on the whole milk. But I just cannot help it now. I believe that I have become addicted to the creamy coffee in the morning. Drinking plain black coffee does nothing for me except give me acid reflux

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

The issue of plateauing is caused by your protein to fats ratio. If you are obese or overweight with body fat, then you must adjust that ratio. Carnivore Diet is a ratio of 2:1 fats to proteins. You must reduce fats to 1:1 or even less. The body must still get fats to signal there is plenty available and to have the body not store any and to tap into your fat stores to burn as fuel. What carbs you consume should be from some vegetables and a few key fruits for Vit. C. Not from grain products. Not from fruits. Not from starches! These all lead to fat storage and fatty liver disease. Your weight dropped again due to cardio. Without it, carbs should not be consumed in higher amounts and regularly. That is a fact.

After a field or forest cought fire from lightening food became scarce in the area and while looking for something to eat a group came upon the burned carcass of some animal and dug in looking to see if any good parts were left and ate cooked meat finding that it tasted good. They also found over the next week that burned meat lasted longer, so they were able to forage in the buned out area longer and survived by eating the burned meat. As an aside they later saw some other animals come back and start digging in the ground to find food and found out that some roots were eatable too, especially when cooked from the heat of the fire.

That’s true. My Mrs eats a fair bit of meat, and she ended up with the worst case of b12 deficiency her doctor had ever seen. She was hallucinating like crazy, a few shots in the arm and back to normal. Did a lot of research and had to cringe a little when he spoke of b12 in the video. He concluded that it was only available from animal foods throughout history, but it’s said that the b12 source for our ancestors would have been untreated water, and unwashed fruit and vegetables, as well as some meat. Don’t forget that huge amounts of meat wouldn’t have been available to them, as it is to us today. Modern day sanitation is mainly what’s causing the deficiencies.

[@carnivoreisvegan]

@@razzledazdazzle our ancestors were nearly carnivorous. The animals that don't get B12 in diet don't rely on water and diet, they eat their own poop. There's absolutely no evidence early humans got anything but trivial amounts of B12 from water and soil. Does your wife have pernicious anemia? If so, that means no matter how much B12 she eats she'll never get enough. She can't absorb it.

Blood work is all normal now. I have good energy and sleep well. In addition, a multitude of other conditions resolved themselves. Toenail fungus disappeared. All of the bumps, skin tags ect. disappeared. I can go to the bathroom without the need for pharmaceutical help. I no longer crash in the afternoon. Never have to feel hungry.
