[@acts-me8xr]

I'm just curious how you know what human beings were supposedly eating before that 12,000 year period that you mentioned. Because you also mention that sliver is all that we have for written human history? That can't be based off of any science because science itself stipulates that in order for the scientific method to be used something must be able to be observed, tested and retested. So So if we have no written history about it then who observed, tested, and retested what human beings ate before that time? Is this all simply conjecture and the use of one's imagination? Can you please list the sources? These are not sarcastic questions either I genuinely wish to know. Thank you.

Just over 1 year ago I was diagnosed with NAFLD so I did a search on YT "How to reverse Fatty Liver" I found your channel. I wanted to comment under the actual video that helped me but I can't find it now. I had been a T2D with high cholesterol and High Blood Pressure for around 12 years. I used to take Metformin, Simvastatin and Ramiprill. I also had to have an annual blood test cos of this. When I went for my results this year and the nurse said I should sit down. I feared the worst. She was so happy to give me good news. My results were that of a healthy 55 year old man (which I am) and she told me to quit the meds and come back in 3 months for a check up. I have my life back thx to your videos, ty so much.

Its been almost 3 months now. I dont eat sugar, no processed meet, no GMO. I eat only between 12pm and 5pm every single day since I started. I eat healthy. I try and avoid grains but on a few exceptional days have eaten low carb bread and popcorn with only salt (but those were exceptions). My staple is good meat and vegies. I also added exersize. No weight loss that I can reasonably witness on my clothes or my face (I don't have a scale). Hungry almost every day, especially between 9am and 12pm. In the past I was one of those people that ate breakfast every day and regular meals, so this was a big adjustment for me. I still continue because I did not do this primarily for weight loss, but I was hoping it would be a side benefit. Watched many of your videos and am still very grateful for the info. I did a blood test some time ago and was tested for mild insulin resistance HOMA 2.26 although my blood sugar levels were fine. My BMI is 30.3. Age 52, female. I have no chronic conditions and am generally healthy. Struggled with fatigue for the first two months, but that is ok now. Any suggestions?

When I was growing up my mother served a lot of processed foods and sugar. At the dinner table, there were stacks of white bread, margarine and whole milk and we were encouraged to eat as much as we wanted. She would actually force us to sit at the table to finish what was in our plates after dinner. She died at 40 of a clogged descending aorta. I grew up with weight problems that have just gotten worse as I got older to the point now where I am a type II diabetic with about 50-60 pounds extra weight on me and it's almost impossible to lose now. I have been following you and Dr. Mindy Pelz and have been doing intermittent fasting. I now read labels and will not eat anything with transfat, inflammatory oils, fake sugar, corn sugar, or a high sugar content, etc. I am trying to be more consistent but still eat some processed foods. In order to lose weight, I really have to go low carb and exercise. The only other way I can lose weight is going on a low fat high carb diet like Jenny Craig. Weirdly, after a week on Jenny Craig, my blood sugars are completely normal even if I have a Jenny Craig Cinnamon Bun. That food comes in plastic containers which I've heard are obesegenic.

You are so right They are full of unnecessary rubbish

[@chermonfils]

@drekberg The reply I often hear from people who contradict the benefits of eating the way ancestors did is, “Our ancestors had half the average lifespan of people nowadays.” It would be helpful if you included information and stats RE the main causes of death in our ancestors (infections for which there were not yet treatments, exposure to the elements, etc.) VS. the self-inflicted, predominantly metabolic causes of so much illness and death these days.

[@jackiedelvalle]

Plus a lack of safety laws for work like mining, building etc. Fires in homes, death in childbirth, all sorts of non-food related things. Now we're living longer bc we've largely addressed those things, but we're living long lives full of pain, ill health and medication. That's not progress!

[@peterpan408]

When life is hazardous, the less hazardous elements of life are less important. For example it doesn't matter if a soldier smokes, drinks, and other things since fighting is more hazardous. However eliminating accidental and overwork related death has exposed our terminal illnesses. If no one lived past 60yo we wouldn't know about diabetes, cancer, dementia, heart failure etc. The only thing I worry about is if majority of people switch to whole low carb-high protein diets; The price of quality protein and fat (beef and dairy for example) would increase alot such that only the rich could afford to eat right. 100% dairy free Carnivore is already too expensive for most people. However animal-based (including dairy, eggs, fish etc) is more reasonably priced. TBF eliminating ultra-processed foods saves a lot; the price per gram protein or fat on ultra-processed foods is quite bad. And unfortunately ultra-processed food is nothing more than seed oils mixed with fillers (carb sludge). You can get different flavors and hardness of sludge, but it's still sludge.😮

[@JA-zh5xi]

While it’s true the average life span was closer to 40yo in 1900 there are two primary reasons for that: 1) infectious disease killed a lot more people before antibiotics, aseptic techniques and controlling waste water, 2) much higher infant mortality. Another issue was smoking and alcohol use. It had nothing to do with diet.

[@peterpan408]

@JA-zh5xi You logically can't go as far as to say that it has nothing to do with diet. Only that it cannot be isolated to diet, and may not be affected by diet at all. Hence there is no inference based on historical life expectancy.

1977 is also when food producers started introducing HFCS into the food supply. Initially, it was just for soda as a cheaper sweetener, but soon became the norm. It seems to wreak havoc on our weight since the body doesn't process it the same way as it's out of balance (55/45). I lost about 50lbs by cutting it out from packaged goods and limiting soda to just an occasional treat.

[@uccelloteschiorosso]

I really liked this video and indeed what you tell is true, modern grain, some varieties has also more protein, which in the grain it means more gluten (I saw 14.5 grams in a pasta package never seen this much before), as this is the main protein in the grain, while used to be rather 11-12 on the hard wheat; actually also the part about the grain chromosomes is very much on point, as I remember a lecture from my professor talking about it, saying that the new grains through interbreeding changed to the point of resulting in a very elastic type of gluten to make it easier to work with, while in the former varieties it was way easier to break; he also told that this could suggest that it is harder to digest the new varieties but that there was not a research available for this back then, so it was a bit of a speculation, despite it made sense. Just out of curiosity I made a research to see the nutrition values of some ancient variety from the surroundings of my home town and I noticed that also the carbs a slightly lower than the average, but anyone in our surroundings knows anyways that you cannot get full with this stuff, you need something proper as well! 😄

On grains, this video and the rest of this channel is very US specific as other countries do not use Monsanto grains. I come from Germany that is very heavy on bread, yet I started to gain weight on it only after moving to the States. Started baking the bread myself, boom, my weight went back to normal.

[@user-iu1xq7rw5p]

By adjusting my diet to two-thirds the carbohydrates, I transitioned from obese to a normal weight. This has been the most effective diet for me, and I've maintained it for 18 months. It's crucial to consume adequate protein and fiber while reducing Salt, Saturated fat, and Sugar...the 3-S's!!!

[@PinkLady54]

1st let me say how happy I am that You have found a lifestyle that is truly bringing You Life!! Salt is a critical electrolyte. It also has been demonized wrongly. Without consuming over processed, canned or boxed foods one must add salt to have balanced electrolytes. Fresh veggies are super high in potassium for one. Carbo-hydrate is named that as every molecule carb holds 2 molecules of water so You stay hydrated; without eating carbs You need add salt to hold the water to not be dehydrated ☺️ Also Dr Sten has videos on fats also that would be healthful for You to watch. There are other great Drs on here that can help give You a more balanced view also like Dr Eric Westman & Dr Ben Bikman to name just 2. Lots to learn to stay healthy & free from evil propaganda 😍 You are on the right road.

[@PinkLady54]

oops... I didn't mention how happy I am that You have found a lifestyle that is bringing You Life instead of death! Wonderful & Wise of You!! Also didn't mention any of the facts on saturated fat either. Our liver produces cholesterol because we Need it for many healthy functions in our body... Dr Sten has many videos on fats also. Check some of Dr Sten's vids on fat & maybe some other Dr.s like Dr Eric Westman & Dr Ben Bikman to name a couple other brilliant men.

[@sportysbusiness]

Good on you for making positive changes. If you were able to change your incorrect thinking about fibre (not needed), reducing salt (essential for life) and reducing saturated fat (essential for energy and repairing your body), you'd be even healthier!

[@retirementpirate3665]

I also went from obese to normal weight at age 68. However I did almost no fiber. I increased my salt intake and increased my saturated fat. We do have common ground when it comes to eliminating sugar and I hope seed oils.

[@Ariella-mx3xq4cw6n]

​@@sportysbusinessVery true. You become the late, without salt. Animal fat is what we always used to have. No poisonous seed oils when I was a child and 99.99% of children at school were thin. School dinners meat and 2 veg. We said we h4ted school dinners but the vast majority of us cleaned our plates. We even had a pud. Everything cooked, with the poisonous oxalates removed from the veg.

Our children have been the Guinea pigs. I was a school food service director for many years. I went on low carb diet and was shamed by nutritionists. They said it wasn’t healthy. They recommend 1/2 cup juice or fruit for break as well as 1 oz protein and 1 oz carbs. Plus milk. The carbs were often sugary cereal. Even if I tried to offer healthier cereal no one would take it.

I suspected that I had diabetes, so I started looking for possible answers to fix my situation. Some of your videos on keto where my introduction to the concept. After confirming what you said through other sources I started changing my habits a little. Just over a month ago I was officially diagnosed with diabetes. From the day of the diagnosis, I started following a keto diet very strictly. I'm glad to say that after a month, my blood sugar is down from 180 to the 100-110 range. I plan to continue the strict diet for at least 2 more months, ultimately making several changes permanent. Thank you for sharing this information, it helped change my life.

The downside of recommended diet is that the government was also subsidizing production of the high carbohydrate grains making them cheaper. The whole American food industry is built around that one word "cheaper". They will import plums from South America that are picked green and gassed in transport to save a few cents rather than pick plums from local farms that nutritionally are a much better for people to eat.

The reason people say we have nothing to eat is because they’ve added hormones and pesticides to most of our food that should be good for us and genetically modified our good foods until they are no longer good for us.

"LFHC is okay." Personally I think that is doubtful in the long term. Reason being I inadvertently ended up there. I wasnt particularly fat so never worried about diet. I burned the vast majority of what I ate. Only lean meats and a lot of carbs. But after at least 30, maybe 57 years of this diet I needed 2 stents. My diet did change over the years towards less fat and more carbs, hence the rather vague timeline. What extra weight i was carrying was definitely over the last 30 years as my diet tended to lower fat and exercise levels dropped off due to changing circumstances and weekend activitiss. That sugar and carb load had caught up with me despite not being excessively fat.

[@alexandrawhite7614]

My understanding is that wild animals are leaner than domesticated ones. People are encouraged to eat venison because it is lowish fat, and rabbits are so low fat, if we eat only rabbits we die. So did the hunter gatherers really consume more fat than protein? Some claim early men preferred organ to muscle meats, but I don't think organ meat is fatty. My idea is that hunter gatherers are, and have to be, opportunist omnivores. A bit like bears.

I think that's some erroneous logic that our digestive system would not have changed genetically in 2 million years. Genes for being able to process certain foods have no doubt been add sporadically over the part 2 million years; such as Lactase Persistence.

[@tedantares2751]

The main cause of obesity is the amount of calories (or the amount of food) that people consume. And extra calories often (but not always) come from refined sugars. BTW, the most obese country now is not the US, it's Mexico where people consume a lot of fats (mostly, unhealthy seed oils), refined sugar (mostly in the form of sugary drinks) and other carbs, even though Mexico is one of the world's producers of vegetables and fruits, so people could easily eat there healthy food, but for some reason they choose an unhealthy diet

[@jimmyelliott7473]

As I walk to the store which is about 1 mi away there are several fast food places to eat and it just amazes me the line of cars waiting to get their 2000 Cal burgers and fries and then we wonder why Americans are so fat. I've actually been to countries where there are no fast food restaurants and guess what, there's no fat people. the food industry has failed us miserably and helped to make us an obese country but then again convenience rules
