For what it's worth, after dramatically increasing my fat intake using almost exclusively saturated fat, my total cholesterol did go up a fair bit, but the increase in HDL was far higher than the LDL and put it into a healthy ratio for the first time in my life.

Both of my roommates have suffered from orthorexia (the obsession of eating well and counting every calorie and macronutrient) and have avoided fats and carbs as much as they could to avoid getting fat or ill. Unfortunately, one of them developed an acute form of bowel inflammation, because eating absolutely no fats for a long period of time meant she couldn't absorb many vitamins and it made her ill anyway. Ironically, this meant the only thing she could safely eat without having terrible cramps or worse were mostly fats, the thing the body needed to function, so her cure was a true ketogenic diet (together with targeted anti inflammatory medicine). She's ok now, she can eat a more balanced diet after recovering and is honestly happier than she doesn't count every calorie and type of food.

[@gavinthecrafter]

Thankfully it seems that philosophy is slowly fading away from schools

[@circletech7745]

Low fat high carb diets DO still have their place for Athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone performing any level of strength training. Why do athletes eat lots of carbs but remain lean? Simple. They need the quick energy burst that only carbs can provide for building muscle and running further. Ask any gym bro on a low-carb or keto diet and he or she will tell you they perform much better when consuming a high-protein high-carb, low-fat diet. I know I do. But for most sedentary individuals just trying to keep weight off, I would argue a low-carb diet IS superior. You will feel satiated longer, you won’t spike your insulin levels nearly as often, and you will have more consistent energy levels. One thing we can all widely agree on is the Standard American diet containing a high amount of simple carbs from added sugars is whats causing the obesity pandemic. If Americans as a whole made some marginally more reasonable dietary choices such as swapping out breakfast cereal with eggs or whole wheat toast, replacing desserts with fruit or yogurt, and cut out all sugary drinks, and maybe eating some leafy greens every once in awhile, we would be significantly healthier with only minor changes to our diet. We have a tendency to make make a waaay bigger deal out of an individuals diet than it needs to be for simply staying healthy.

[@circletech7745]

You can be healthy on a high-carb diet. However, you just need to stay away from SIMPLE carbs. Complex carbs found in many foods such as oats, whole wheat bread, brown rice, beans, sweet potatoes and vegetables are all good choices. Simple carbs such as sugars (especially with no fiber) will cause huge blood sugar spikes followed by a crash, and that is what causes type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

[@koffing2073]

@@circletech7745 only at a high level carbs may be good for performance (but not health) and bodybuilders just want to be enormous so of-course they need to eat a lot, a lot of junk food and drugs too but if you want to have lean natural muscles lasting all your life low-carb is the best.

[@potatoheadhaoy]

as a fellow layman I feel like what makes Adam's videos great is the academic spirit behind them. Sure, citing papers is important, but it's equally important to know the tools for critical thinking and being able to parse information based on things like corroboration, suspending belief, and most of all, being aware that you are a lay person.

Carbohydrates naturally come with fiber, which blunts the blood sugar spike. Remove them and you’ve got your spike. Most tests on those ‚simple‘ carbs are done with sugar dissolved in water (think soda). But adding fiber back in can show similar blunting of the blood sugar response. So topping pizza with veggies or having rice with a side salad very much helps blunt the effect. And for some reason cinnamon seems to work too.

Before the industrial process of mass extracting the oil from vegetable seeds, vegetable oil consumption for the average person was practically non-existent. The majority of the push against saturated fats came from the American Heart Association, which was literally funded by vegetable oil companies. The change from using animal fats to vegetable oils and therefore increased consumption of omega 6 fats also correlate with the increase of cardiovascular diseases and heart attacks.

As a former vegan, specifically one who used to follow the high carb low fat diet, I can personally say that one of the best intuitive decisions I’ve made was turning away from that diet and incorporating more healthy fats into my life. Nuts, seeds, fish, and eggs. Never knew how important they were until I cut them out. Always thought fat was the culprit- I fully believed the whole “fat makes you fat” theory. Cutting out fat was detrimental to me for a lot of reasons, but I would say the main symptoms I experienced from eating high carb low fat would be that my hormones were all out of whack, my skin was pale and covered with acne, and my energy levels were nonexistent. If you are eating a low fat diet and not feeling well, I urge you to try to eat more intuitively and add more healthy fats back into your diet. I got to a point where I was getting sick for weeks and months at a time. Simply changing the way I eat has really helped me feel more like myself again 💕 I’m glad you’ve debunked this theory. I hope this video reaches those who need it most

Dude, I love your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@gregmcb5305]

Also I remember hearing although I never read the paper about an experiment on prisoners were they fed them high fat diet so they can only eat about 500 cal or something per meal while high carb diets they could eat up to 7000

[@notmyname327]

I recently found your videos and I'm loving them. I didn't want to watch this particular video because I thought it was going to be an ode to keto, saying things like you should worry more about the sugar in carrots than the calories in butter. I'm glad I watched it because I feel you provided clear, thorough information and a "moderation is best" approach. I won't be missing any video from now on.

This is turning into one of my favorite food channels, it has some cool tips and recipes but it's also super informative about other stuff.

No mention of the (potentially) harmful effects of oxidation of polyunsaturated fats when used in high temperature applications like frying?

[@TheSilverwing999]

This also applies to olive oil. It's actually not a frying oil, since its unsaturated fats gets turned into transfats with the same effect as saturated fats at certain levels of heat. Guess Adam isn't as smart as everyone here declares him to be.

[@thevomit5851]

@Sheikh_Shaq This video was very basic and he didn't break down the science at all, he just pointed to poorly done epidemiology. I have no doubt the average person is significantly more intelligent than you are. Put 2 and 2 together, why do countries who consume massive amounts of vegetable seed oils have the highest rates of heart disease?

[@thevomit5851]

@BattleEmpoleon He can cite all the epidemiology he wants, at the end of the day they're just surveys. Most people can't even remember what they had for breakfast two days ago. You don't get much randomized clinical trials in nutrition because most experiment ideas are deemed unethical. Lots of sugar is bad for your liver and can cause insulin resistance so I agree that sugar may be a contributing factor to heart disease considering most people who develop heart disease also insulin resistance. You know what also destroys the mitochondria of the cell and causes insulin resistance and chronic inflammation? High PUFA vegetable seed oils cooked at high temperatures.

[@james__anna_burns4885]

@@thevomit5851 is peanut oil okay?

[@thevomit5851]

@@james__anna_burns4885 Similar to olive oil, not ideal but much better than vegetable seed oils. You want to avoid oils high in omega-6 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). I'm sure peanut oil is fine but butter and good quality tallow would be better.

My school still serves fat free milk because they're stuck in the 80s when it comes to health information lol

[@Labyriiint]

Nothing wrong with fat free milk though.

[@cr1sprarchives408]

And I need to say this because another Adam from TruTV said this, we've been eating fats for as long as history goes, and we've been fine. Ever since the "fat bad sugar good" campaign started we've been making heart diseases more common.

[@crozraven]

Italians: one bottle of olive oils per day.

[@TheSilverwing999]

Fun fact of the day: Did you all know that olive isn't actually a good oil to fry in? It is stated as being made out of unsaturated fats, which is true, but those fats actually degenerate at a certain heat level into transfats, which have the same effects on the body as saturated fats to begin with. You might as well be cooking in butter. If you want truly "healthier" oil you need to use vegetable oil or sunflower oil, etc. Olive oil is better used for dousing salads. Most people apparently don't know this. I only learned about it in a class containing nutrition and chemistry.

[@wernerbeinhart2320]

@@TheSilverwing999 Nah, sunflower oil contains a very unfavorable ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 acids. Better use some other vegetable oil for high temperature frying like rape seed. And even extra virgin olive oil can be used for frying up to temperatures of 160-180°C or 320-356°F as it contains huge amounts of oleic acid. PUFS usually aren't as heat resistant as saturated fats. The only reason a lot of vegetable oil can be used for high temperature frying is either a high amount of oleic acid or chemical modification

[@hanoianboy9562]

i’m asian but i have an olive oil addiction.

[@simonblanjean6538]

@@TheSilverwing999 I also seem to remember that olive oil has a low smoke point, so it burns at lower temperatures than other vegetable oils and (my favourite) goose fat. Which is not good for high heat cooking.

[@Fandrir]

It so happens that italy has one of the highest life expectancies in the world (so has spain). Throughout Europe everyone kinda agrees that the mediterranean diet is by far the healthiest of all the traditional diets on the continent. Part of that is the olive oil and fish with omega 3. The latter also being very very popular in Japan, the country with the absolute highest life expectancy. So it is a reasonable assumption to make that eating a lot of good fats is very beneficial to your health.
