[@Iam-not-VEGAN-but-]

They had no major sources of calcium (and maybe there were other issues) and the sodium:water ratio was lower than the minimum sodium:water ratio in pee (and other excrement) for normal ranges. Probably chloride too. Also lack of vegetables. Well, the guidelines want to undercut the homeostatic sodium:water ratio anyway, but at some point that has to stop right (conservation of mass)? So many organisations don't even put a minimum on salt.

They eat low sodium and drink 4 litres of water per day. There is a minimum sodium peed out. A conventional model of 40mmol-220mml/L sodium in pee's volume being water and excluding other excrement puts that at a minimum of 3680mg sodium flushed out per day.

Hi Gil, thanks for another video. I have some questions in case you ever have some time to answer. 1. How much fiber do you ~eat per day? 2. Aren't you concerned about the heavy metal/microplastic contamination in filter feeders such as mussels? 3. How high is your lp(a)? 4. Do you cook with the oil or do you only consume it raw? 5. I assume you also don't drink any alcohol? 6. Did you forget about the leafy greens?

[@Iam-not-VEGAN-but-]

1. They didn't show Cronometer micronutrients. 2. Check their video on fish, it should be the same. Ish. 3. 4. Canola oil video, they saw cooking as fine. Maybe not long (reused) frying. 5. 6. This person needs to eat more vegetables.

So glad you created an earlier video where you studied canola oil as it’s being demonized by the community, especially in the U.S. Also, before anyone later comments about your diet not being fully vegan, I’ve always appreciated that your platform is solely nutrition based and doesn’t proselytize about other food related topics.

[@ckkiss]

Genetics and environment! Brilliant to finally hear a nutrition and health expert focusing on what really matters.

[@toxx1220]

Nutritionally speaking I'm not advocating for any specific diet either. The things that you mentioned are in my opinion very sane and healthy. Eating more fish, some non-red lean meat, dairy etc will likely not worsen it either (if taking care of not overconsuming sat. fats). Why I advocate for a vegan lifestyle (including diet) is purely due to Ethics. So in this regard I think you represented some part of the vegan movement correctly (they say its the healthiest, which is just plain false since there is no robust evidence to support that particular position), but its also important to keep in mind that what differentiates vegans, is their ethical approach. Every other "diet camp" just cares about nutrient values etc. for maximizing health and whatnot, vegans like myself dont have this as primary motivation.

[@felixmoore6781]

Can you explain the difference between "Ethics" and ethics?

[@irfanmohd091]

also the vegan movement make us look like we are savages or something

[@anonimogonzalezperez4951]

I prefer the perspective of colin campbell, and others, plant based is the best diet, with a minimal amount of animal foods, so, if we extrapolate, the maximum health for the human ape would be zero animal products. Even all of them are very cautios with the term vegan, precisely because it is no logical to eat based on ethics. In ideal conditions, theres is no nutriente we can't get from plant sources or our microbiota. The difference among individuals are because the different way of being sick beacuse of all the interventions since some decades ago since the very moment of the birth, imho, as the fundamental cause. Anyway, I think that we have some margin to eat some animal foods without detrimental results in the long term, as diet is a percentage of the health and longevity outcomes.

[@scienceislove2014]

Vegan for the helpless, most oppressed victims!

[@jirihutecka9020]

I agree with meat from factory farming is not ethical. We can argue that even killing animal that had "good life" is not ethical, but I don't see any issues with eggs, dairy from "happy" animals who have good life and also I don't see any problem with sea food like shrimp for example.. So I don't think that you have to be vegan to have healthy, balanced diet and not hurting animals at the same time. In fact I think there is a lot of people who have goats, sheeps, chickens and who also have their own plant plant foods and who even kill and eat meat from old animals. They love them, they take good care of them and environment as well. They are simply good, kind people and yet they don't need label "vegan" and vise versa I would say most vegans even vegans who are vegans because they don't want to eat animals are not so helpful because they just buy plant food from mass production that is horrible for environment and animals as well. Who eat plant food shipped from all over the world. Simply in their simple mind they think how helpful they are, but average organic farmer who is not "vegan" probably does much more good for people and the whole ecosystem..

[@ThomasAT86]

Sane and rational. So what I'm understanding is that you focus on vegetables, fruits, berries, legumes, grains, nuts, a little olive ol and canola oil and you don't restrict yourself too much with things like x portions of cruciferous vegetables per day, x grams of blueberries, sweet potatoes and such? It kinda looks like it at least. I think I have to re-consider my approach since adherence is not great, so this really helps. Kinda need these reminders every now and then to loosen it up a bit. Thanks for sharing and the ideas!

Great video, I am pretty similar in the sense of whole foods, lots of tasty plant plates, bit of protein everyday in form of lentil/tofu/nuts and I do not count calories or macros or anything like that. I use olive oil and Tahini as my "oil/fat" for dressings, and the only difference is I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I love a bit of chocolate (usually super dark, often 100%, but sometimes with coconut sugar/dates) and I eat a lot of fruit, especially dates. Same with bread, always super whole grain, sourdough type stuff, even any crackers I have are whole grain. I also eat when I am hungry, which is usually between 1 and two meals a day, and rarely eat late. I take the same supplements, haha, but I also take a decent amount of herbs (nettle, moringa, turmeric+pepper, and triphala) which I find make me feel a lot better. I also buy organic, primarily for the environment (less synthetic fertilizer and thus less nitrous oxide in the atmosphere, and the pesticide potentials to harm), but I also find I get a little sick if I eat non-organic everyday. Honestly, I get bloated, I get runny noses, I just feel more pain, cloudiness, stiffness, etc, and I don't believe it is a placebo effect because I really would not mind spending a little less and I have also seen the health data not showing any great differences. I am vegan though, but that is an ethical and environmental standpoint rather than a health one.

Looks good. You should try mixing some cocoa powder or melted chocolate with your oatmeal though. The taste is incredible. Add some sweetener to bring out the chocolate taste. It'll change your life if you enjoy dark chocolate

Thanks for sharing! One question I have is are the algae oil supplements necessary if you eat seafood occasionally? I only say this because I have read somewhere a scary thing for men is too much omega-3s can cause prostate cancer unless my knowledge is outdated. I take the other supplements you take with the addition of 400mg Magnesium Glycinate at night. Thanks for the video!

I don't vary my meals too much, but the meals I do have are very diverse. I could even try some new recipes to prepare the same ingredients differently, but I mostly pick the familiar and easy recipes out of laziness. I could probably add some more legumes or seafood, but I think I eat enough variety as is.

this is very down to earth day of eating

fasting is very practical. You don't need to eat regularly. And you never notice if you skip a meal, and the brain is as clear as ever, even in a fasted state.

Yep. However, it can also raise your lipids, if you fast too long.
