[@matthewhook3375]

This time last year I weighed 173kg and had full blown type 2 diabetes. Saw a health coach/dietician who started educating me about UPF, then soon after the algorithm figured it out and started showing me Dr VT. Went through my cupboards and fridge and tossed everything ultraprocessed - full scorched earth elimination. In the last year I've shed 47kg, resumed training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 3x a week and started running 3x a week. The diabetes is now in remission and I no longer need to take any meds to regulate blood sugar levels. Chris is doing the Lord's work, along with the likes of Tim Spector and Rob Lustig. Their messaging has been absolutely instrumental in turning my situation around and keeping me out of an early grave. Still need to drop another 20-30kg but I'm on the right track now.

Good idea. I'm actually good do this now. I love when I make a quiche or something healthy from scratch 😅

[@paganqueen1]

The part where they talked about being laughed at and ridiculed for talking about this really resonates with me. I have stopped trying to tell my family that the food they are eating is bad for them because they treat me like I'm a conspiracy theory nut. It's extremely frustrating because I have 5 grandchildren under 8 years old, from 3 daughters, who are being fed these substances and I can't do anything to stop it. I just hope things change before it's too late for them.

[@tutacat]

Parents have to teach this. We all know junk food is bad, but it's not taught so much, and a lot of people don't realise or don't care that much. It's especially hard because it's got stupid amounts of funding to be addictive.

[@paganqueen1]

@@tutacat Parents can't teach what they don't know themselves.

[@aisa2954]

Perhaps I can help you with this. I had the same issue with my family and I noticed that they won't pay attention to "too refined" lectures about this matter. They tire easily. Just tell them that they're eating FAKE food. That made the trick for me. They don't want to hear the whole explanation, they will simply become curious and start reading the darn ingredient tags on their own 😑. They'll educate themselves. You cannot save someone who doesn't think that needs saving

Dr Chris has made more sense to me about my weight struggles, than 40 years of yo yo dieting, always looking for the next healthy eating plan that is going to work, long term. Since January I have lost over 80lbs and will not be going back to my old habits or UPF's, I have my health back inc my mental health and feel better in my fifties than I ever have.❤.

[@peaches5540]

I’ve noticed my son’s behaviour is ridiculous when he’s been given sweets or eating ultra processed food. We now only give him fruit and veg as snacks. He’s allowed one treat day a month where he can go and spend 5 pounds at his local shop and what we’ve noticed is, he now comes home with reduced fruit and makes himself a fruit salad and he sits there eating it. He won’t ask for sweets anymore. His school work has improved. His sleep has improved his behaviour is amazing. Please stop letting your kids eat all the rubbish they want. It’s effecting every area of their life’s 😊

[@introusas]

It’s crazy. After just one fast food meal you can feel absolutely awful the next day. It’s horrifying to realize I spent years eating that multiple times a week, on top of UPF ice creams and cookies and cakes. No wonder I felt like shit everyday. When I was a kid I was very athletic and fit, I prided myself on being healthy. In my teen years I did a total 180 and became super unhealthy because I moved in with my aunt who ate fast food and drank multiple sodas DAILY. We had a soda cabinet in the house where we kept 24 packs of soda, and she would replenish them weekly. I gained SO much weight and so many chronic health issues. I am so grateful I have the ability to take back control of my health! I feel AMAZING and I am never going back!

Fantastic podcast interviewing a wonderful man. I have learnt so much from him as a person who has been a lifelong sugar addict. I hope the new UK Government listens to him and is courageous enough to instigate real change. Just one note.When Chris talks about the microbiome being disrupted by emulsifiers, he doesn't make the point that 70% of serotonin that is a happiness hormone is made in that gut and that a leaky, inflamed gut cannot perform well, thus affecting the mental health that Jake was trying to understand.

I live in Australia where we also have a health / obesity crisis. I recall spending a month in Rome with extended family many years ago. The entire time, everybody had smaller portions than what I was used to. Nobody snacked between meals. They ate their food slowly, putting their fork down between bites savouring their meals with the occasional glass of wine. My cousins children did not eat any ultra processed food. I saw “one” boiled lolly being eaten by a 5 year old. She asked for another one and her mother said “Basta”….(enough in Italian) I was shocked. They are all thin. Many go for slow walks after dinner. I also saw ice-cream being eaten once. It wasn’t in their freezer. They had to go and buy it. Everybody had 2 scoops. Not a large bowl full of icecream as I see being eaten here in Australia. They eat real food, Period. Where have we gone wrong?

[@LethalLemonLime]

It probably has to do something with how settler colony countries don't have a lot of history/culture. I feel like in countries like Italy where the culture and history goes back for many millennia, they already have grandfathered in food culture and are unwilling to let the food industry wreck that.

[@Neophema]

That was many years ago. I was in Rome (and other places in Italy) last year, and many Italians are now obese. So are the children. It was so bad that I remember feeling somewhat shocked.

[@Nakanam1]

There are a lot of regulations in Europe. Lots of additives are not even allowed to be used. Worse for businesses but better for people. Even so the obesity is on rise in European countries. But not in so extreme form like in US.

It's so refreshing to see intelligent people at last speaking the truth with evidence. It's a real struggle to be on whole cooked food 7 days a week if you haven't been to other places than the modern industrialised culture you are living in . Unfortunately, the human connection between family life and healthy food is completely broken 💔 😮 in these countries.

[@mrjonnydz]

Power to Dr. Chris. I've listened to him speak on this issue on a few videos. I personally love hearing about the inside of the food industry: such as Coke funding certain things, or when he read out the email from McDonalds etc... (sounds like they want to pay him so they can use it against him in the future). He's so right about the financial aspect of these issues. I always think about those top food scientists who put all their efforts into this manipulated bad food for a pay check. We all have to make a living i suppose, but id love to know how those guys really feel about their work (and what their kids eat). Keep shouting your message Dr. Chris.

[@chillitotes]

This (USP food) is an "Industrially produced edible substance designed to take your health and turn it into money for investors Food is about love and community and health and family" Fantastic words

[@archaeobard1]

The cost of real food is ridiculous. I think one of the reasons I'm able to eat whole foods or real food all the time is because I have an ok job and live alone with no dependents. Even then, I still spend £60 to £70 a week on meat, veg, eggs, dairy, fruit, nuts, seeds. For that amount of money, I could probably buy at least two or even three weeks worth of frozen sausages, frozen mince, and 2kg bags of frozen chips, pasta, supermarket brand sauce and tins, loaves of cheap white bread, luncheon meat etc. The reverse needs to be the case.

[@KarenAttard-y8v]

But when you spend money on real food you’re investing in your health and longevity. I’ve heard people complain that they can’t afford fresh fruit and veg and the next minute they’re discussing buying a new TV! It’s a question of priorities. You really are doing right by yourself, good for you

[@incensejunkie7516]

He has a world of information and is a true humanitarian. Whenever I see him being interviewed, I always listen. I don't know about the UK, but here in Canada you can also get his book - physical book, e-book and audiobook - at libraries. I wish he would mention that, to look in the library. I've got it out for a second time and am re-reading it, a fantastic book!

[@arielgaede3673]

I'm currently in Mexico on vacation. I am astonished at the rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome here...over 90% by my estimate. Supermarkets are full of non-food i.e. highly processed rubbish that doesn't even look like food to me. Everything is cooked in vegetable seed oils.

[@smith2229]

Totally. Absolutely it's understandable, this is why we have to make systemic change. The idea that we all have free choice about our food when the poorest and busiest people have so much less time and money than the richest and least busy is just silly.

[@carolkinch]

food doesn't have to take a long time or be expensive. But the person cooking it does have to have some knowledge of food. I learnt from my mother and school also taught us how to prepare useful dishes not the thing's they do now. Also it's not only the poor who eat ultra processed food, I take issue with that!

[@berniestephens4506]

@@carolkinchit’s quite boring but I like chicken/fish/beef some rice and veg - I’d happily eat that 4-5 time a week 😂

[@thethoughtfulpeanut6662]

​@Elspm We need to stop thinking in black and white terms about advantage and disadvantage, opportunity and lack of opportunity when it comes to achieving a healthy diet across the socioeconomic strata. Just because a person makes more money doesn’t necessarily mean that they have more time to cook than those who have less money (they often do not). Just because someone is low income and doesn't have access to some food products that are affordable and accessible to people of greater income doesn’t mean they don't have any resource to do better at all.

[@Roxlimn]

For the folks who may be finding it difficult to get a lot of real food, you can hack it a bit if you have access to a small rice cooker, rice, and eggs. That's all you need. No need for a fridge, or even a counter or a kitchen. Cook a bowl of rice, put it into a bowl. Crack the egg over it while it's still piping hot and mix well. Should cook the egg. Season with salt and pepper. Maybe drizzle in soy sauce or some vinegar. Add veggies and protein as they are available. Could also use the rice cooker to poach those, too, before cooking the rice.

[@deborahhoward8043]

I always focus on eating real whole food made from scratch and hardly ever dine out. If out, I’ll order salads and or streamed veg with no oil or dressing, maybe a Greek or goats cheese salad. If there’s nothing suitable when out with others, I’ll just not eat. On holidays I’ll buy super market foods like salad, cheese, Greek yogurt, berries, boiled eggs, nuts and eat in my hotel room our picnic outside. I focus on plenty of protein. I don’t consume seed oils. I’m totally uncompromising and frankly don’t care what others think. It’s basically like, eat real food like your life depends on it. I also walk a lot, have a treadmill desk, lift heavy weights, meditate, use sauna, and ensure I get good sleep. Also also ditched all alcohol (used to drink dry red wine), after watching Andrew H podcast. I feel amazing at 53. I’ve actually never been overweight, I’m approx 8 1/2 stone and I’ve been a strict vegetarian since age 14, but reckon animal protein is good (it’s just my personal choice). I’m deeply cynical about big food and big pharma.

When I'm sick and don't have an appetite, yet I am hungry, there are certain UPFs that I turn to. Outside of this one circumstance, I am quite grossed out by UPF substances. I ate some chocolate the other day, and it tasted like plastic - I usually only eat 70% or higher cocoa dark chocolate. I used to love junk as a child, teen, and 20-something young adult. I would eat them like an addict. But now I'm older, they taste like synthetic chemicals and have weird textures that make me sick.... You can absolutely train your taste out of junk and into enjoying real foods. Especially if you fall in love with the other benefits of eating real foods.

[@deborahhoward8043]

Me again, I get the part about no stove top however there are hot plates and even most in studio flats / a room have a microwave. Takeaway and pre-prepared food is expensive. There is lots of nutrient dense, healthy cheap food (eggs, Aldi Greek yogurt, cheese, some fruit and veg etc) and eating these type of foods leads to satiety (feel full, for longer), so you can end up eating less, and perhaps have 2 main meals a day, also goes well with time restricted eating / intermittent fasting. What Chris is saying is much needed education and we need much more of this, such as the work of the Public Health Collaborative which promotes real food, low carb ways of eating. Keep up the great work.

Low Carb or ultimately Carnivore should be the human ultimate goal, Carnivore is how humans evolved to eat, we are higher up the food chain and Carbohydrates are not essential and not needed, however to get the most out of Carnivore you are what the animal eats and these days farm animal welfare and how they are fed (except Cows and Sheep and so called organic meat) is not good. As you already know, changing ones way of eating to Low Cab or Carnivore is not about weight loss, it's about getting ones Metabolic Health to an optimum state. Steroids seem to be the latest money earner for the Pharmaceutical industry and doctors and nurses pushing them onto cohorts via the NICE guidelines, I'm mentioning this because I'm Carnivore for the past year (Low Carb before that) and have been pushed Asthma steroids which caused weight gain, because these steroids impede protein synthesis. N.B. my Asthma did 99% go away (still got asthma attacks from mold spores in clothing) when I started Low Carb, but now it has returned, Asthma is virus induced too, plenty of that around lately. Anyway, avoid Steroids to see true results with Carnivore.
