FAT: A Documentary | Health & Wellness | Weight Loss | FULL DOCUMENTARY

FAT tells the far-fetched but completely true history of how our country became so unhealthy. In 1970, just over 1.5 million people had been diagnosed with Diabetes in the United States. Now over 30 million have Diabetes. What's even more alarming is that 100 million people, 1 in 3, have Diabetes or are Pre-Diabetic. This is not to mention the 40% of the population that is obese. How is this possible with the non-stop flow of new diets, exercise machines and our general obsession with health and weight loss? We're as unhealthy as ever. The truth is that we have pretty much had everything completely upside-down and backward. FAT traces a detailed history spanning 150 years to show how misinformation and outright lies have become "truth."

It's amazing. I was 458 lbs, severely diabetic. I had been diabetic for 20 years. Taking 250 units of basil insulin and 35 units of fast acting every time I ate, and my last bad AIC was 14. I had a General Dr, Cardiologist, Nephrologist, Gastroenterologist, Endocrinologist, and many other ologists. I saw multiple nutritionists and followed there diet of Oatmeal and Bananas and 100-120 grams of carb for years. It got fatter and sicker than I had ever been in my life, and I was ALWAYS HUNGRY. I had diabetic ulcers, bad knee that needed a replacement, extremely high blood pressure, a torn rotator cuff, I was going blind from retinopathy and macular degeneration. I felt horrible. I was all I could do to get out of bed and get to the coffee port in the morning. I went Keto at first and now I am carnivore. I have lost 170 lbs. I am no longer diabetic. My sugar is around 100-110 before I eat and gets to a maximum of 140 after I eat. I have fasting sugars in the 70's sometime. My knee and shoulder feel great. I can go walk amusement parks and ride coasters from open to close and not sit down or eat for the entire day, and I feel fine, nothing hurts or aches My BP in normal. My blindness has stopped getting any worse and had gotten a little better. I normally just eat once a day, but once in a while I will eat twice a day. I have no use for restaurants or chefs in my life. I just make beef on a grill and eat it in 5 minutes then go get more stuff done! Food just isn't really a big deal in my life anymore. This is how my body is supposed to be.

[@northerncoloradotransparen1454]

it is a death sentence and caused your issues. See all the fat is plugging your cells and arteries. causing you to not absorb nutrient's properly. Always feels good to lose weight but your blood markers are screwed. Fat diets have been around for decades and they simply cannot work, nor do they make sense. Humans need fiber and your meat has 0 fiber. Humans are not Homo Carnivorous no matter what you believe tastes so good. Without salts and sugars meat is terrible tasting. Meat has become industrialized, like all the other garbage. Look deeper into human history and you find meat was used for flavoring. The China Study is the most comprehensive diet study ever completed.

[@northerncoloradotransparen1454]

@@andyvankerkhove6902 Animal agriculture does have significant environmental impacts. Greenhouse gas emissions: Animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock production, particularly cattle, produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, clearing land for grazing or growing animal feed releases carbon dioxide, contributing to deforestation and climate change. Land and water use: Animal agriculture requires vast amounts of land and water. Raising livestock necessitates large areas for grazing or cultivating animal feed crops. This leads to deforestation, habitat loss, and soil degradation. Furthermore, animal agriculture consumes substantial amounts of water for animal hydration and crop irrigation. Water pollution: The concentration of livestock in factory farming operations generates significant amounts of waste. The runoff from these operations can pollute water bodies, contributing to water pollution and eutrophication. Biodiversity loss: The expansion of animal agriculture encroaches on natural habitats, leading to the loss of biodiversity. Deforestation for grazing or feed crop cultivation reduces habitat availability for various plant and animal species, contributing to species extinction. Antibiotic resistance: The routine use of antibiotics in animal agriculture to promote growth and prevent diseases contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This poses risks to human health as well.

After I started low carb I saw a dietician who also practises in a Sydney hospital and she told me that I wasn't eating enough carbs. She told me that I would lose muscle. I was surprised when she told me that it was okay to have muesli/oats for breakfast. After the appointment I did more research and decided to stick with what I was doing, and cancelled the second appointment. It was with great pleasure that I contacted her after getting my 3 month post low carb blood results and told her that Hba1c was down to 5.2 from 7.0, BP had reduced, I had lost 1/8th of my body weight (without trying, no fasting - 3 meals a day, only gentle exercises and stretching for all over body strengthening) and my cholesterol had improved. After 8 months I have now lost 4.5 inches from my waist (no cheating - I push it out to its maximum) which had been 44 inches. And I've started losing more weight. I noticed the other morning that my feet and ankles are thinner, and I can now touch my hands (top to bottom) behind my back. I have to buy new underwear because what I bought last year are now falling off me!

My co-workers were asking me if I was sick with Cancer or had an eating disorder. I said "yes I was sick and am in the process of cleaning myself up".

[@northerncoloradotransparen1454]

Atherosclerosis occurs when fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and other substances accumulate within the walls of arteries, forming plaque. Several factors contribute to the development of plaque buildup: High cholesterol levels: Elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly known as "bad" cholesterol, can lead to the accumulation of cholesterol in artery walls. LDL cholesterol can become oxidized and trigger an inflammatory response, initiating plaque formation. Inflammation: Chronic inflammation within the arterial walls can damage the inner lining (endothelium) of the arteries and promote the deposition of fatty substances. Inflammatory processes can be triggered by factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar levels (as seen in diabetes). Smoking: Cigarette smoke contains harmful chemicals that can damage the endothelium and promote the buildup of plaque. Smoking also reduces the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which is considered "good" cholesterol that helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. High blood pressure: Elevated blood pressure puts strain on the arterial walls, causing them to become damaged and more susceptible to plaque accumulation. Diabetes: People with diabetes often have increased levels of blood sugar, which can damage the endothelium and accelerate plaque formation. Additionally, diabetes is associated with abnormal cholesterol levels, further contributing to plaque buildup. Obesity and poor diet: Excessive body weight, particularly abdominal obesity, and an unhealthy diet high in saturated fats, trans fats, and refined carbohydrates can increase LDL cholesterol levels and promote atherosclerosis. Sedentary lifestyle: Lack of physical activity is linked to a higher risk of plaque buildup. Regular exercise helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, promotes weight management, and improves overall cardiovascular health.

"The body prefers sugar for energy" From what I know about human physiology, sugar can only exist in the blood in a vary narrow range, (about 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L). Fat in the blood (ketone levels) can be anywhere from 0 to 25 mmol/L. The body doesn't 'prefer' sugar, it needs to get it out of the blood first before it does damage.

My brother is a type 1 diabetic and every time I can possibly can I keep telling him to stop eating carbs or reduce his intake. Also for my niece to stop eating so much junk/fast food since diabetes runs in our family. It shocked me when he told me he isn't worry about her because his doctor told him type 2 diabetes only develops after age 40!!! I know this is not true since we are seeing it in younger kids every day. It is amazing how irresponsible some doctors can be , your health is in your hands and in your hands only.

I cannot agree. Incas were primarily vegan/vegetarian for thousands of years with out all the chronic issues, obesity, and diabetes. They eat little or no meat just like the other long living ,healthiest communities to ever inhabit the earth (Amish, Adventists, Mennonites, and those in blue zones). Diabetes and obesity is caused by insulin resistance which is the build up of animal fats in cells that are not meant to store it. This causes insulin levels to rise and glucose levels in the blood to rise because it cannot enter into the cells There is much evidence supporting this information and is also backed by the ADA? Low carb high fat diets are diets! - Atkins, south each, zone diet, paleo, ketogenic, carnivore, lion. All have the same effect and increase levels on insulin resistance. Same narrative for 60 years later with different names to romanticize that no fiber feeling? A diet from poor life style habits and now you'll be considered healthy? Even the World Health Organization has been putting this out there for 14 years! Stop consuming meat and dairy. Can you say addicted? Wonder why so many are sick?

Saturated animal fats have been proven for over 100 years to cause a wide array of health issues! Diets high in saturated are associated with several health issues. They negatively impact cholesterol levels and contribute to various cardiovascular problems. 1) Saturated fats can raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. 2) A diet high in saturated fats is a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. It can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries. 3) While saturated fats themselves don't significantly affect triglyceride levels, they can be part of a diet that includes excessive calories, leading to weight gain and elevated triglycerides. 4) Some studies suggest that diets high in saturated fats contribute to insulin resistance, potentially increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. 5) High intake of saturated fats contribute to inflammation in the body, which is associated with various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. 6) Diets high in saturated fats are calorie-dense, leading to weight gain and an increased risk of obesity. Obesity, in turn, is associated with numerous health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers. Saturated fats impair the function of blood vessels, affecting their ability to dilate and regulate blood flow throughout the body. It's important to note that not all saturated fats are equal; some sources, such as those found in coconuts, avocados, and nuts and have different effects on cholesterol levels compared to others. However, in general, health experts recommend limiting the intake of animal saturated fats and replacing them with healthier fats, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in olives, avocados, nuts and seeds.

[@girlanonymous]

Conspiracy theories dude??

[@AuntyJack123]

I agree completely. That creature wants to control our food so he can get his population control ideas moving forward.

When this film discusses how much training in nutrition doctors get in medical school it is absolutely true. I have worked in the medical field for over 35 years and have had many discussions with many doctors that I trust and respect over the years. The average doctor has had about 3 hours of training in medical school on nutrition and nothing on the use of herbal therapy or homeopathic or holistic medicine. I am a physical therapist by training. A great friend who is a Dr. and has written 3 best selling books on nutrition and is a world renowned cardiac surgeon learned everything he knows because he was very intrigued about the other health issues, especially that the patients he was doing heart surgery on had. Most of these issues originated in the digestive system (the gut). He learned about nutrition because he decided he had to. He told me once that the pharmaceutical companies are so ingrained in the medical schools due to huge donations and that they even provide some of the instructors for the programs who push the use of medicines approach on students. This is what they learn. Most Drs. will not speak out publicly about it because they do not want to be a target of these industries. These programs are run by the pharmaceutical indue stirs just like the food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies run the FDA. It will be very hard to change much of the information because these deep pocket companies are very entrenched into these agencies and institutions. As far as discussing diet with most Drs. you might as well be talking about it with your neighbor. They would rather write you a prescription. You need to educate yourself. Some MDs are in the know and are willing to try things other than medications for their patients but you have to find them. Thank you for this incredible film! It is 100% right on.

I thought this was just another food documentary but when that Oprah incident came on I was at the edge of my sofa! Brilliant!

[@pepper419]

It great to know now, that Dr. Gary Fetke started a storm in Australia that won't go out. There are a lot of doctors on his side and are doing the jjob now, they should be doing. Lecturing on the ketogetic diet and low carbs to their patients. I have one just a kilometer from my home in Brisbane. Thank you garry for kicking this massive football.

[@richardkennedy8481]

If commercials were carbs I would have a heart attack.

[@andrewgaudet9090]

Fantastic documentary 👍 our system is corrupt 100%. But some of us are not fooled.

[@CherryRed1972]

As a patient with a Malrotation, Coeliac Disease, IBS, Fructose Intolerance, Lactose Intolerance, severely underweight, High Cholesterol, physical injuries and severe depression I am more confused than ever..... Thanks?

[@mommysosad]

Thank you for making this documentary. I am also faced with adversity with my child being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and our NHS dietician shutting me down when I am against the recommended allowance of carbohydrate in the British Well Eating guide. It is nearly 50% of a meal's plate that is recommended, pasta, grains, breads, potatoes. I cannot believe what I am hearing and seeing. My son does not want to inject himself with insulin just so he can eat those foods. He has made the decision to inject himself with insulin when necessary. At the moment I can't get him on a totally low carb diet because I am being told that is not sustainable. I am being told it isn't good to do that. But I do my best to educate him. I do my best to offer foods that are low in carbohydrates and highly nutritious. We have cut sugary treats to nothing, we have cut high carbohydrate snacks to nothing. And the frequency of eating has been cut as well due to cutting the carbs and decreasing the craving for those foods, decreasing the feeling of needing to eat every four hours. I just want the best for him. I am hearing that his antibodies test came back negative. Meaning that he is most likely a type 2 diabetic. I am feeling like there is hope. That we can reverse this disease.

[@jobrown8146]

I'm glad you are doing your own research. It can be hard enough to make the decisions for yourself, but is really tough when it is your child.

[@jenniferd6069]

Look up Deborah Murtagh and The ketogenic switch, it’s a modified healthy version of keto so low carb ( from vegetables) and healthy fats

[@munix9351]

Well done mum. Try swapping to earth arts. Sweet potatoes, boiled potatoes. Also I found smoothies worked fabulously well for my nephew with Diabetes.

[@suzannejenkins3533]

So glad you are going against the terrible official advice about diet. I’ve had type 1 diabetes for nearly 40 years. 4 years ago I completely changed the way I eat. Very low carb. Now have the best HbA1c results ever. All the best to you and your son. Keep learning. Keep following your instincts about what is best for your child. No one should ever follow the “dose for what you eat” advice. It’s insane.

[@jackiedelvalle]

@@munix9351 Ummm. That's all carbs, especially sweet potatoes. She's avoiding those.

sounds like the way the pandemic was handled in recent years

[@jimrutherford2773]

It's a crime when none of those neurologists ever brought up the ketogenic diet as an option, when they knew damn well about the successful results of that diet. I'm not even in the medical field and I knew about it.

[@donnamontewski103]

I personally knew a boy who grow up on ketogenic died . Cream and butter. Is a very successful adult. Finished college and is a successful professional. Outgrew his seizures.

[@softballbryan]

Diet…

[@anavonrebeur6121]

Why most comments are from vegan trolls?.

[@dsakurai]

Because veganism is more like a religion to them than a dietary advice. Honestly, there're researches that show different people react differently to different diets, and having keto as an option should be celebrated rather than demonized. People don't care about others benefiting from a routine, they just care about being right, or being in the right camp. Tribalism at its best.

[@michtig]

Because they thought this was going to be a vegan documentary

[@ThesmartestTem]

Because vegans love misery.

[@mysticjedi6730]

Mean BMI was lowest in vegans (23.6 kg/m2) and incrementally higher in lacto-ovo vegetarians (25.7 kg/m2), pesco-vegetarians (26.3 kg/m2), semi-vegetarians (27.3 kg/m2), and nonvegetarians (28.8 kg/m2). Prevalence of type 2 diabetes increased from 2.9% in vegans to 7.6% in nonvegetarians; the prevalence was intermediate in participants consuming lacto-ovo (3.2%), pesco (4.8%), or semi-vegetarian (6.1%) diets. After adjustment for age, sex, ethnicity, education, income, physical activity, television watching, sleep habits, alcohol use, and BMI, vegans (OR 0.51 [95% CI 0.40-0.66]), lacto-ovo vegetarians (0.54 [0.49-0.60]), pesco-vegetarians (0.70 [0.61-0.80]), and semi-vegetarians (0.76 [0.65-0.90]) had a lower risk of type 2 diabetes than nonvegetarians. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2671114/#:~:text=RESULTS,28.8%20kg%2Fm2). Because LONG TERM the thinnest healthiest longest living populations eat low fat plant based. There is a right answer to healthy diet. No I am not saying eat sugar, refined flour, etc. Whole food plant based carbohydrate primarily lower fat Foods. Limit high fat nuts, avocado, etc.

I’m wired to eat meat and avoid sweets. Vegetables are just for decoration on the plate. Carbs just get in the way of meat space in my stomach! I’m doing pretty well as I approach 50. All health markers are absolutely perfect and I’m healthier than anyone I know.

[@doltBmB]

vegetables serve an important function of keeping your gut bacteria in balance with prebiotic fiber, not too much or you'll get gas and bloating, but not too little or you'll see die offs of essential bacteria which can lead to other health problems think of it this way, the meat is for you, and the veggies are for your stomach

I now understand Keto is a major success in losing weight. What is less clear is Keto effect on essential health and longevity markers. Losing weight can be good, but may not tell the whole story of one's health.

[@ionutturcutvoda3545]

As long as the government and and the medical community receives "small attentions" and campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, nothing is going to change in regards to the nutritional guidelines, even though they know are wrong. A healthy person is lost patient.
