It is the processed unsaturated cooking oils and margarine that are the big killer and should never be eaten. Use butter or extra virgin olive oil and always choose normal milk, cheese and not the processed 'low fat' junk.

After reading yesterday's comments where many people were putting Christopher in the 'low fat vegan' camp, many may be surprised to see that he's not an advocate of low-fat diets. Sure, he's not recommending people start eating lots of meat, but the viewpoint was more nuanced than I'd have expected. I've tried keto, but can't stick to it for more than a few days, and have also tried the Dr McDougall approach, but always abandon that quite rapidly as I find food without any fat whatsoever is tasteless and I need to have pleasure in eating. I've come back to a more balanced approach, with some treats, but whole food based in the main, and this is working for me.

It's a very carefully crafted "look at me, I'm being reasonable" aspect of his persona, I've been following this guy for years now. He chooses every word very specifically, and these hosts play footsie with him and his knowingly ridiculous statements and contradictions. He is all over their videos at this point. Walter Willett did a similar thing on this podcast (the hosts really helped Walt out, too. Because they knew the audience just wanted to hear about the ridiculous 'red meat and diabetes' Harvard headline, but they buried the lead and focused on crappy carbs). Once you start seeing the pattern emerge, it can't be unseen.

There seems to be a contradiction between with the podcast by Sarah Berry and Tim Spectre in which it was stated that fermented dairy such as cheese and yoghurt have a different matrix than unfermented dairy. They said eating fermented dairy won’t adversely affect your inflammatory markers, nor does it dump cholesterol into your arteries. I’m confused. This needs clarification.

@Enligh10ed1 10 ай бұрын

I noticed that too! I started watching Zoe a few months ago and adopted more cheese and full fat yogurt into my diet based on what they said about fermented dairy. I even read the books Outlive by Peter Attia and Glucose Goddess that they highlighted on the Zoe videos and they also preach the gospel of full fat dairy. That was all until I stumbled upon a Plant Chompers video about the How Not to Age book from Dr Michael Gregor and it cites a lot of studies that show the harms of animal fat and its contribution to disease. Now I think differently about Zoe and truly wonder if they get funding from the dairy industry :/ Just look at the thumbnail from this video! Christopher Gardner does not say anything positive about saturated animal fats but the thumbnail seems to contradict it. Borderline deceptive.

The difference is that Tim was advocating for fermented diary in moderation. Chris also advocates for moderation over making it a primary part of your diet, I.e Mediterranean diet, but favours avoidance if possible.

This is not so complicated but it we have to pay as much attention to what we add as to what we cut. As Michael Pollan said long ago, our fundamental guide should be to eat real food, mostly plants. Of course we need carbs, protein and fat from real foods. For most of us, the proportions should follow that order. Reducing fat does not mean increasing processed carbs, processed proteins or processed low-fat foods.

I thought it was clear. Of course you can, switch to healthy protein and carbs as long as you are getting calories and nutrients which can be difficult on extreme low fat. Healthy fats are good. Vegan raw food influencer Zhanna Samsonova died of starvation last year because she couldn’t get enough calories and nutrients to sustain her body. You have to be sensible with what you eat, whether you choose vegan, vegetarian or omnivore.

@@kestag2110 It's not accurate to say Zhanna "couldn't get enough nutrients on a raw vegan diet." She didn't get enough nutrients because she was mentally ill and didn't have the drive to eat adequate nutrition. People with a healthy drive for self-preservation will succumb to the urge to seek additional nutrients. Like Dr. Gardner mentioned in this video, the low-fat vegans in his study resorted to eating refined grains to get calories: because they had a basic drive to get adequate nutrition 11:15 A raw vegan could eat avocado, olive oil, raw nuts, and coconut milk, and get plenty of calories to prevent starvation. (I wouldn't recommend that type of diet, but one won't starve to death because of that diet.)

There is a big misunderstanding about whole fat milk: It is not "whole", it is not unprocessed as mentioned in the podcast. The milk is intially completely skimmed and then fat is added in a certain percentage depending on the type of milk we want to produce. Whole milk is defined by local regulation. For example in the US it has a 3.25% fat whilst in the UK it has 3.7%. Unprocessed milk fat content is much higher! But fat is the most useful part of the milk and it's better used for high-valued products (butter, cream, cheese)

I guess this is a biochemistry question, with a person who is T1D, when they are treating a hypo event and consuming simple sugars, what happens to the excess carbs that are not needed to restore BS levels? Do these get stored as fat and described in this video? Do they go to replenish glycogen that may have been used to put glucose back in the bloodstream? Both?

@bensharp1089 9 ай бұрын

The process the body uses to convert carbs to fat, known as de novo lipogenesis, is very inefficient, converting at most 2% of the carbs to fat. After glycogen stores have been replenished, the rest is either burned off or excreted as waste. Please see kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoqupnele7aSh9k for an excellent analysis of what happens when consuming excess carbs. I love most of the information presented in this video, and appreciate the emphasis on saturated fat as a problem. However I don't really know what is a healthy level of non-saturated fats, and this video seems to downplay any potential issues of too much non-saturated fat. The body stores dietary fat very efficiently, so it seems like reducing overall dietary fat would be the most effective way of losing excess weight.

I find it hard to believe a well planned 30-40% healthy fat diet can be as healthy as a well planned 10% healthy fat diet, but that’s the claim they are making. The 40% diet will likely taste better but is the 10% one impossible to make palatable and is it a complete waste of time since it’s no healthier? I’m pretty sure if you choose the 40% one you will be fatter or hungrier since fat is so much more calorie dense than carbohydrates.

Great enough for me to want to eat a lot more than the 450 g I have. Yet, Cronometer tells me it only contains 4% of its calories as fat.

One thing that I think could be useful in these it to put some more numbers around healthy baselines. For example, if I recall in some of the protein discussions the 0.8 g of protein per day per kilogram of bodyweight gets used, with it being noted that Dr. Gardner considers that amount of protein to be more than enough for the vast majority of the population. Having a similar quantity quoted for fats would be useful to level set. Elsewhere on the Internet, I've seen numbers between 0.3 and 0.5 grams of fat per kilogram per day - would either of those be appropriate? Or should we in Dr. Gardner's opinion just look to the amount of unsaturated fats, or to the amount of non-trans fats?

I can imagine, if you are a human being who has been pounding down steak and lots of other saturated fats all your life, and you now have clogged arteries, then yes, maybe a low fat diet will help to clear out arteries in the short term. But a whole lifetime of fat-less eating? It's not only unsatisfying, it is not even healthy. Think of all the phases in life where you need the fat for building hormones, and we have not even touched the subject of immunity... Replacing saturated with the unsaturated poly and mono fats that Mr. Gardner discusses: YES.

It's monounsaturated fats with no factory processing ie extra virgin olive oil which is good, the other polyunsaturated oils are bad because they are heavily factory processed and full of inflammatory substances which cause heart issues. His story about Ancel Keys trying not to confuse people by simplifying the facts should be applied to him and that is NOT the story we can all read about on the Internet of how Ancel cherry picked the countries to fit his hypothesis (removing Scandinavia with low heart disease).

It’s no wonder Peter Attia tends to stay away from nutritional advice. Discussions like this just confuse people. So tired of hearing about special diets. They rarely talk about reducing overall calories.

@ZmogusJaponija 10 ай бұрын

Nutritional advice became huge industry. KZbin alone generates billions of views on nutrition topic. Then books, branded suplements, etc etc etc. And all this cannot be done without overcomplicating things. One guy tells sat fats and animal protein kills you. So you change them to plant fats, plant protein and plant carbs. Plant protein comes with carbs also. So then another guy tells - carbs will kill you. And then third guy tells - overall plants kill you. And so on.

Low fat food tastes horrible, nasty. I’ll choose full fat over nonfat/low fat any day.

The traditional Okinawan and Japanese diets were very low fat, like around 10-15% of calories from fat.

You do know Agu was literally worshiped in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and is the most traditionally prized food of those who live there, no matter how much Dan Buettner tries to say (or imply) otherwise.

this is false it was high in animal products, the veggies and carbs were only used after/during the war because no resources.

And as it happens, in an 'ironic' (if you listened to the Old Gaurd) twist of fate, the healthier. Lymphatic system ftw!

you just “forgot” to explain what is happening if you go low fat and focus only on high quality carbs … Very disappointing for a Stanford phd … who perfectly knows John McDouggall, Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn … Very very disappointing …

We have been eating saturated fats for over 3,000,000 years without a problem. Soybean oil, the most consumed polyunsaturated oil is from the 60s, late 50s in the US. Soybean oil is Ultra High Processed. Christopher Gardner does talk some truth but speaks his plant based beliefs without challenging his own bias.
