Fat: What’s Healthy? What’s Bad? How Much? | Dr. Neal Barnard Exam Room Live Q&A

I always make my own hummus. I toast 2 tablespoons of raw sesame seeds for each recipe (don't burn if you do start over). In a vitamix blender, add the toasted sesame seeds, 1 can of chickpeas with the liquid, and 1 can chickpeas drained, reserving the extra liquid in case you need a little more. Also add 1 teaspoon Cumin powder, 1 teasp garlic granuals, 1 teasp onion granules, 1/2 teasp chili powder, 1/2 teasp smoked paprika, and 1/4 teasp cayenne pepper powder. Also, add the juice of one lemon (about 2 tablespoons). Use the tapper on your vitamix blender. Add more bean liquid when needed. Only do one batch at a time, or you will need to use a food processor.

[@dinamariea61]

Nice hummus recipe. Do the toasted sesame seeds purée when you blend everything, or does it stay whole? Is it better to grind up the sesame seeds first before blending? Also, do you think raw sesame seeds will work or is it recommended to toast it first? Thank you for any reply.

[@sandraelder1101]

Handy tip - Blend the seeds (I add a couple cloves of garlic) in a small amo of water first. It mulches them up completely, no chunks. Then you can continue with the other ingredients.

I eat about 15-18% fat on average and 70% carbs and feel good on it. Allows some nuts, seeds, soy, and the occasional avocado. Trying to keep fat at 10% or under like some in the WFPB community recommend would result in me making food choices not on the nutritional merits of the food but on macronutrient percentages.

Coconut is natural... but it's not natural for us to eat because we could only open it with unnatural tools, Most high-fat foods are surrounded by a hard wood shell.

[@fblairmd66]

Wow! I say the exact same thing! We need to take our clues from nature! There’s a reason the nuts are surrounded by hard shells that are difficult to crack. We shouldn’t be eating so much of it. I say the same thing about pomegranates. We are clearly only supposed to take in about 1-2 ounces of it, and very slowly (1 ml at a time), as aggravating as it is to eat. We have no business chugging 8-12 oz of it in one sitting!

[@bitfinesse]

I’m firmly convinced I don’t need more than five grams of fat per day. I listened to Nathan Pritikin talk about maybe only needing a half-gram of fat daily to maintain health. Then I switched my diet to around 3-5lbs of steamed cabbages (sometimes broccoli) and 3-3.5lbs sweet potatoes and sometimes tomato paste salsa with beans and i now find it INCREDIBLY easy to keep very trim. I used to take ground flax but after checking with Cronometer (with stunning precision), it seems the vegetables provide me with all the Omega 3 fatty acids I need - yesterday I had 1.2g Omega 3 and 1.3g Omega 6. A few months ago I ate a third of a pound of mixed nuts and my face swelled up. I’m staying off these fats. It seems the vegetables have them. The vegetables also fill you up at 150 calories per pound. The sweet potatoes provide a powerful, long-lasting energy and bring me to full strength. Cabbages. Potatoes. Sometimes beans and tomato paste with lime. Gonna go live my life now. The fats seem to be over rated. Less is more. I keep a banana or two on me when I’m out and about but I only have them if I need them after using the Hawaiian or Japanese sweet potato I keep on me. Keeping the fat under 4% of my calories feels the best. When I need a treat or something that’s basically cake - I have oatmeal with steamed, shredded carrots and cinnamon. That’s the worst thing I’ll eat.

[@lizzzarduh]

NATHAN PRITIKIN... THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON IN HISTORY ON THE SUBJECT OF NUTRITION!! MANY HAVE STOLEN/COPIED NATHAN PRITIKIN... ONLY ONE HAS EVER GIVEN HIM CREDIT.. THAT BEING DR. JOHN MCDOUGALL!!

[@sectionalsofa]

After several years doing a deep dive into many wfpb minds (and there are quite a few) I've come to the conclusion that macronutrients do matter but not in the way some seem to promote. Some in the wfpb community advocate for a "high carb" diet implying that fats and protein's take care of themselves as long as we focus on carbs. Fats and protein are important in their own right, even if they comprise a smaller percentage of calories. I don't like the way the importance of protein is underplayed and fat is marginalized if not demonized by some wfpb advocates. No one person has all the answers and some are clinging to old research and personal biases. It's important to glean information from a number of legitimate sources. Recently I've been learning a lot from Simon Hill's podcast, the Proof, a comprehensive and objective take on nutritional science.

[@eilisniaisi5954]

State all of your sources in alphabetical order please

[@sectionalsofa]

@@eilisniaisi5954 I replied but my response was removed. In a nutshell: Barnard, Esselstyn and MacDougall demonize fat; Macdougall is even wary of too much plant protein. He sites small , 20 year old sturdies. The Plant based docs who keep up with current research and understand the importance of plant sources of fat: Fuhrman, Greger, Kahn, Longo, Sherzai and Williams. Longo and Fuhrman discuss and appreciate the importance of getting adequate protein, particularly among the elderly.

[@DianeShugart]

How much fat do you need to consume for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins? Do they need to be consumed at the same meal or if, for example, you have a handful of walnuts with breakfast is that fat still available for your late afternoon carrot snack?

[@sectionalsofa]

I can guess Dr B's answer after hearing him numerous times. Most likely he would say that there's enough naturally occurring fat in all food so that's not a concern (ie Broccoli has 3-5 percent fat.) However, there are other points of view in the Wfpb community. Dr Fuhrman, for example, strongly recommends consuming at least a half ounce of nuts or seeds at each meal to assure nutrient absorption.

I've met 3 women in the last week, 40 to 47 years of age, that say they need more protein. So, that's why they started eating animal products (only 1 included land based animals ). I suspect it's the info from the cult of protein that permeates nearly everywhere. One of them listens to fitness videos that recommend a crazy high amount of protein, and the other two likely are seen my nurses that believe in the high protein ratios. I don't think those last 2 were lifting to stop muscle loss, I think the lack of resistance exercise is a bigger issue.

Great interview until Dr. Bernard started talking about pathophysiology of fat and carbohydrates in the diet. The literature is clear it’s the body that prefers carbohydrates as energy so when you eat fat in conjunction with carbohydrates, the fat is immediately stored. You forego the carbohydrates, the body is forced to use fat as energy which explains this phenomenon. However, long-term, high fat diet is extremely unhealthy leading to heart disease, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases due to lack of phytonutrients in the diet acting as protective mechanism. So eat your complex carbs, low fat, and plant based protein for longevity and best health outcome 🌱

[@toomanytubes0002]

@@ankitgosain7090Similar situation to you. Young otherwise healthy male, couldn’t gain. Plant based diet too calorically dilute. Seed oils are absolute junk. You’re probably already getting a surplus of polyunsaturated fat on a plant based diet. If you aren’t battling any major health issues & don’t have familial hypercholesterolemia etc then look into Cocoa Butter (main fat in chocolate). Amazon has it. It’s a solid fat but it’s probably the safest one. About half of the fatty acid content is saturated stearic acid which has shown in studies to be mostly neutral on cholesterol (possibly the safest long chain saturated fatty acid) and the other half of the fat content is omega -9 monounsaturated fat which is the main fatty acid in olives & olive oil which also has been connected to negligible (and even positive) cholesterol effect. So, in total, while it’s a solid fat it’s probably about only half as saturated as coconut oil. Plus, it has a mild chocolatey taste!

No one is arguing that ketogenosis causes weight loss. It is the long term effects you have to be concerned with. Who wants to be thin and then die of a stroke or heart attack 10 years later from fat deposits in the brain or heart vessels?

[@dinamariea61]

My brother did the same as you. He believed in keto and did it for many years, then started developing heavy duty acid reflux and afib. He ended up having to get an ablation of the heart. After the ablation he switched to vegan and will never go back to keto and feels so much better on the vegan diet.

So informative, thank you. My personal take-away was the 7-8% calories from fat in daily diet. I recently cut back on my fat intake (to see if I can reduce my a1c) but was worried about going too low. I'm glad to have my worry alleviated. I'm at about 12%, nicely in the range recommended by the Mastering Diabetes guys. (It was Dr. Fuhrman's teachings that had got me worried, he promotes nuts and seeds as part of his G-BOMBS; also I'm not getting in all the nuts and seeds recommended by Dr. Greger in his Daily Dozen). The minor differences in the spectrum of plant-based doc's recommendations leaves me a little confused, but I suspect I'm one of the people that does better on a lower fat diet, given my LDL and a1c are a little high, I'm post-menopausal and my mother had diabetes.

Why are other health experts promoting coconut oil?

[@ScotRossillo]

A little vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon . herb it up to your liking

[@ultramegasuper11]

Yay for REAL peanut butter 😊

I use oat milk in my green curry now. I am losing weight. Still tasty

Coconut extract can give it that coconut flavor.

Plez never feed hotdogs to children. Besides the garbage ingredients, children easily choke on them, as was sadly reported in the news this week.

[@eilisniaisi5954]

And rashers or bacon as they call it in the US.

[@brianwalker1933]

So we have Doctors promoting fruit, vegetables and low fat diets, then we have doctors promoting high fat meat diets, with low to none of the fruit and vegetable diets. I'm totally confused, as to who l should trust or believe in. Confusion at its best!!

Eat what makes you feel good and you're happy with.

I have been diligently adhering to a WFPB way of life for many years- I have, however, been very surprised at the advice regarding Olive Oil (Extra Virgin) and enjoying significant quantities throughout the week (2 table spoons per day) due to "acknowledged" healthy content including Polyphenols.....This completely explains why I have been unable to lose the mass (circa 8kg) principally around my middle for the past 5 years!!!. Given the advice (calorific value ....circa 100 cal/tablespoon) I will now reduce this henceforth significantly !!

Very good information I can do a lot of the clean eating but fall short on keeping track of the amounts I allow myself. At 125 lbs I am down from about 284 lbs. Fell better in so many ways . Thanks for the education more good information than I have had in first part of my 83 years. I love all the info I can get. Thanks so much

[@Meathead-10810]

00:05 I think there is no bad animal fat and there is no maximum amount either. I try to get as much animal fats as possible. I do try to stay away from all plant fats as they have a slightly different molecular structure than animal fats.

@@dinamariea61 Don't know or care, haven't needed a doctor since 2018 when I stopped my plant based fruit & veg diet. In 2018 I saw one or more doctors at least every month and their only recommendation was to take out some of my parathyroid glands 🤣

Yay! rah rah rah! Coconut oil is the best of all oils.💐 It is a vasodilator and antioxidant and has lauric acid in it.
