[@georgiafrancis9059]

Just a thought: Most vitamins are suggested to take with food. If you take vitamins everyday then fasting isn't an option. Some vitamins are too strong to take on an empty stomach. Think about that before you fast and you may have to omit vitamins for that day, which I believe would be a mistake.

[@sundiataq]

I think you have it backwards. We should aim to get all of our vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients from whole foods... If you're supplementing more than a simple multivitamin once a day, you should probably adjust your diet, as supplemental vitamins are not replacements for healthy diets, and every vitamin, mineral and other micronutrient (of which there are thousands), can be sourced from whole foods, which are usually more bioavailable than supplements anyway.

[@PresidentKang90]

There is sooo much nuance on this topic but she covered it so well I think. If you’re fasting or restricting calories it is super important to still be hitting protein targets for age and activity levels to avoid numerous health problems.

[@AscendantPhilosophy]

The best thing about starting to make healthier food yourself (as opposed to eating out) is noticing how much better it makes you feel. When you're getting plenty of vitamins and micronutrients from vegetables and a stable balance on carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, your body really wakes up and thrives. Our stomachs might be indifferent to what we eat but healthy food makes a huge difference in our happiness and well-being.

Okay, as a scientist, I have to ask... Has this research been peer reviewed, reproduced and subjected to falsification? Next, I'll make my personal observations. In the mid 80s, when I was in my mid 20s, I realized I wasn't indestructible. I changed my diet and followed Julia Child's advice to" "eat small portions, no seconds, no snacking and try a little of everything." I am now 62 and am the same weight, and I exercise, weight lift, and am as physically active as I ever was. My doctor is happy with my my labs, and all of my physical parameters. Nobody will ever know how long they will live. The important part is that we enjoy a good quality of life?

No wonder, they are wicked.

[@vikitheviki]

I eat only meat, fish and eggs and occasionally some leafy greens and berries. Never eat fruits, it's just water and sugar. I've always wondered how a vegetarian diet can be sustainable since nothing of what's available today is only a couple of thousands years old which means we are not evolved to eat any of it's kind. It's like saying processed food is the most nutritious and sustainable for a human being to eat.

[@FinickyGreek]

All I know is that I lost 110 pounds in 12 months on the Keto diet, eating 2 meals per day within a 6 hour window. The best feature is that Keto is not a starvation or calorie counting diet..Keto consists of eating only whole foods, minus sugar and processed carbs. I'm now at my perfect body weight and at 70 years young, I've honestly never felt better in my life. It's amazing just how many ailments completely disappear when you cut sugar and processed carbs from your diet. Further proof that our diets are making us sick.

[@theprousteffect9717]

[@nomy006]

I do wonder how many of the ailment relief is from sugar and how much is from other carbs like good quality sourdough bread for example, and basic white rice. Yes they’re the same general “sugar” category, but maybe cutting out sugar in and of itself accounts for, for example, maybe 80% of the problem. And if that’s the case then I’ll keep my rice and bread moderately in the mix but be much more diligent on cutting sugar.

[@FinickyGreek]

To my knowledge, this clinical question has never been researched at a level to which one can confidently assert this claim. There are too many confounding variables and too many observational outliers.

[@sophiemandese6989]

@@BenTheThird I would recommend two channels. Nutritionfacts is run by a doctor who provides study after study after study about the various benefits of a plant based diet over one containing meat, from eliminating saturated fat from the diet that causes heart disease to lower rates of cancer. He convinced me to do a plant based diet instead of immune suppressing medication for my crohns and now I'm crohns free and feeling amazing. The second channel is Mic the Vegan who also provides study after study, but he also debunks videos that advocate for meat eating and consistently shows that they use out dated studies, use studies funded by meat corporations and/or misrepresent data. I've personally never seen anyone who can confidently assert that meat is in anyway required or even healthy for long term, frequent consumption, but I've seen a multitude of studies that say that reducing or, even better, ceasing meat intake will reduce your inflammation and risk for many diseases.

I realised watching American videos that when they say 'reduce meats' i apply to my Asian culture. But it is not correct. I found out that meat consumption by Americans is almost 3 to 4 times as much as an Asian. We tend to have meat as an accompaniment not the main course. We are more rice heavy though.

[@dvdmon]

Yep. while studies are great and can show us what is healthier for the AVERAGE individual, I'm all for listening to your body to determine what is healthiest for you. There are too many differing factors, like genes, microbiome, etc., that can play into how your body digests food to hold too tightly to a specific set of recommendations. We also need to be wary about certain diets if we have a family history of a particular disease that is known to be at higher risk when eating a diet high in certain foods. But if you feel really good and healthy eating the way you do (whatever the foods are or the schedule), feel satiated when you do eat a meal and don't feel hungry again in two hours, have issues with compulsive eating/binging, and your diet doesn't continuously cause weight gain (or loss) outside of a healthy range, then stick to that diet. Science is great for general guidelines, so you can start with those recommendations, but don't feel so stuck to them that they HAVE to work for you. They are based on averages, or at least majorities, and many of us fall outside of some of these general rules on at least SOMETHING. Also, it helps not to hold your diet as an ideology/religion/etc., because that can obscure things and make you continue to do it even if it's not working for you.

[@JakeRichardsong]

Nope, caloric restriction is reducing from the average in a deliberate way. It is not stopping overeating. That's different and even worse, ala the obesity epidemic in the US. People who are overeating need to first stop that. Then, they can practice caloric restriction.

A lifeguard? If not, why, then? Being healthy and fit is one thing. Being a comic-book lookalike hero, quite another. Do you need it, or is a cultural pressure of sorts?

[@someonemaybe7937]

@@MariaMartinez-researcher same reason people draw, or listen to music, there is no real *point* but it helps motivate you to exercise, which in turn DOES promote health. It's all about calories in, calories out.

[@someonemaybe7937]

eat healthy food, and plenty of clean protein. Try not to drink energy drinks and consider trying intermittent fasting, while staying safe ofc.

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

I eat a LARGE meal either every other day or every second day, with only very minimal snacking in-between. I sometimes go longer between meals, but rarely eat proper meals two days in a row. I've had this partially intentional diet since I was about 16, I'm 50 now, and other than my genetically restricted hairline and covid turned whitebeard (it only took a fortnight), people tell me that they thought I was at least a decade younger-looking.

[@piRatCaptain]

I can trust this comment. They are clearly geriatric as can be seen by the use of the word fortnight.

Fuck yea she summed up everything nicely. Good video. I don't say that often. There're lot of words she said that need to be unpacked tho. But this is gold right there.

[@kaustos]

Low protein plant diet for boys and men, yea, if you want a weak and petite body that lasts for a long time because it never works hard at all. Hope you have someone taking care of you or enough money that unavoidable physical labor isn't part of your life. Fellas, get diet advice from men that already look and perform the way you want to with similar genetics, and avoid their mistakes to improve on it. You can become far more resilient with the hormesis of consumption and exertion than restriction and preservation, unless you just really want to drag out those nursing home years.

[@Kulei666]

I am on a vegan diet and my muscles are massive, I have no idea what you're talking about. Wheats, nuts and legumes combined cover all of the proteins a meat would give me with the added benefit of there being nothing working to detriment my heart health like meat would.

[@kaustos]

@@Kulei666 It's not so much about the source of protein, its about her direct statement of "a low protein diet may be beneficial" [for children]. Yes most of us will be fine on a beans and greens meal plan as adults (although you need b12 supplements on a vegan diet), but this was a very fast and reckless statement that suggests children should avoid protein when its already hard to get enough to begin with. Mammals need milk at least, it is our evolutionary distinction.

[@him8913]

Depends on your activity level, but like @YTJaGoodzianka, have been on a plant based diet and lifting weights for a number of years. Feeling my biggest and fittest on a vegan diet, so the 'soy boy' stuff is complete bs.

Thinks, seems, might, could, some evidence--- basically it still sounds like primarily "we're guessing" and don't really know yet

[@Kulei666]

There is no 100% confidence in science

@@Kulei666 true, but with this language I wouldn't give them more than 50%. The way they titled the video implied significant higher confidence

[@RealDealy]

I would rather achieve "Hormesis" with the right exercise then fasting cause I can eat more food, while getting the same results, healthwise. Plus, I gain strength, and muscle I do this everyday by doing just one rep, and set, of heavy resistance training on the whole body which takes no more then two minutes. And, I do a health rebound for just one minute on my "cellerciser", in the morning before I eat a big meal The important part of the diet is more carbs then protein, and I eat every three hours with snacking on something sweet like dried fruit, in between. Nuts/seeds are a must, as well as beans, but I just make a milk out of the nuts/seeds, and I eat a 1/4 cup of beans with my food all the time. I soak my dried beans in baking soda water to prevent gas, and make the beans extra soft!

[@BloodGangBrazy]

There is no requirement in the human diet for carbohydrates. In fact, they are contraindicated. Nut/ seeds are full of toxins, anti-nutrients, and gut-damaging fiber.

[@mantralibre1367]

I don’t know. More carbs than proteins are actually what is killing people,i’d say. We eat way less proteins than we should and an insane amount of carbs,usually.

[@RealDealy]

@@mantralibre1367 Depends on where you live, and your income level On average, more protein is eaten. And the carbs that are ingested are usually simple carbs, not long chain carbs like rice, potatoes, yams, pasta,etc. They usually eat a lot of bread which breaks down fast, and/or sugar which is absorbed too fast and cause diabetes if abused Even fructose is ingested too much cause they put it in everything. It, and salt, are the reason weight gain has happened as too much of both cause dehydration which causes fatty liver and weight gain All carbs aren't the same!

Eat for athleteic performance so more protein and carbs be interesting to see how go eat lot of food in my forties look 10yr young my age same weight in my 20s 78kg 6ft run rings around most 25yrs old See what I can do when get old

[@fugazishoegazey648]

We all could use more fruits and veggies and fiber! My only push back would be that eating meat in the context of a micronutrient rich and calorie restricted (or balanced!) diet isn't bad! Many studies that link meat w negative health outcomes do not control for this or if the participants are obese.

[@obsolete9121]

If your big just get on a calorie deficit to shed lbs, you probably have a bit of muscle already. If your skinny fat you need to look at building muscle then cutting, known as reverse dieting. If your skinny get on a bulk. Everyone train legs. Dont think about gear till you been 2 years consistently training, even then just dont.

[@deechicago25]

How do I do this if I’m tryna make gains in the gym and always hungry lol

[@jillelizabethlifts9690]

higher protein, clean whole foods, lots of water, creatine!!

[@otuobioluchi8877]

Thanks very noted

[@adherentofladycolumbia725]

I usually eat a good chunk of lean reds, lean chicken, and ALOT of mixed veggies. Also peaches, berries, and macintosh apples, JUST macintosh apples, and coffee. God I love coffee. Try to avoid fries with either veggies or just a baked potatoes. Although every once a week I head to a diner, because diners are awesome.

[@Munchausenification]

I agree with most things you wrote. I don't get the appeal of coffee. Tea tastes a lot better, smells better and making something like your own ice-tea is absolutely awesome here in the summer.

[@silverchairsg]

Unfortunately I really love bread, potatoes, rice and other evil carbs. Not to mention chocolate and cake. I love all the sinful foods that are bad for me. What to do?

[@Meinvt]

Whole grains, dark chocolate, you are fine.

[@someonemaybe7937]

I'd recommend trying to limit yourself to only one food with added sugar per day, or if you have the discipline, a added sugar-free diet.. the more you eat sugar the more you crave. If you're craving sugar try eating dark chocolate, berries and milk. For cutting down on the "evil" carbs, you should first and foremost try to replace white rice with brown rice, white bread with whole bread... etc. If you are having cravings I highly recommend eating veggies (cook them in a way that's appetizing to you, using sauce in moderation is okay if it means eating more veggies) and making sure you do the "plate" method for your diet (50% nonstarchy veggies, 25% protein, 25% healthy carbs). In conclusion, replace the foods you're craving with healthy alternatives and make sure to get your fill in veggies so hunger doesn't further push the cravings.

[@Days-rh5rs]

Eating healthier isnt gonna slow the aging process, it just makes you less likely to die of a heart attack at 45.

You can have other alternatives like dietary supplements or NAD+ supplements.
