As someone who grew up on a greek, specifically Cretan diet, this is to entertaining to watch! You don't crave certain 'unhealthy' foods if you are not used to it, so it's easy to feel full and satisfied on a very natural diet. In crete I ate a lot of baked stuffed vegetables, like tomatoes or Zucchini flower, there is always a greek or cretan salad on the table, potato dishes are a very big part of my diet, for example briam/bureki, or just simple oven potatoes with lemon and herbs. Good quality olive oil and herbs are so important to make all these dishes taste amazing. Fruit or greek yoghurt with honey and fruit are my normal snacks, especially in the summer when it's really hot. It's easy to eat like that because the ingredients are easy to get and not very expensive. I think what also makes meals more satisfying is, that there are always a few dishes on the table, or at least a main dish and a salad with dakos/bread

[@lydia9878]

[@patriciacushing7448]

Yes natural citric acid is found in all acidic fruits, but this is not what the Additive Citric Acid is. Citric acid “additives” were naturally made from lemons … until… 1900’s where then became a manufactured compound collected from black mold, Aspergillus niger, which creates citric acid when it feeds on sugar. Used as stabilizer or preservative to a flavour enhancer. You can find it in most manufactured food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and in cleaners. Manufactures just need to tell what is added, not where they got the additive from. The citric acid you see today is not made from dried lemons.

A good quick whole food snack is popcorn! Just buy the single-ingredient un-popped kernels, throw ~2 tbsp in a large bowl with a small amount of oil, cover and microwave until popped. Add your choice of toppings (salt, cayenne, pepper, nutritional yeast, etc). Unprocessed popcorn is pretty healthy: whole food, 100% whole grain, high fiber, high volume, low calorie. separately, the "blue zone" diets typically have very little red meat with small amounts of dairy, eggs, and fish. They get protein more by mixing beans with grains. Of course, Will's diet test still fits as a healthy whole-food option, just not so much a "blue zone" diet.

Things like energy drinks, protein bars, pre-made frozen meals & pre-made snacks, any take-out, and drinks (sodas, juices, coffee drinks, etc) are all the no-no's of the highly processed foods. But eggs are still a whole food even if you get the cheaper ones. Herbs & spices go a long way in making everything taste better--I eat plenty of hot sauce. Dried fruit is a great snack, and good addition to salads and home-made granola. Quality aged cheese is another great addition. Try Walmart's specialty cheese section for good prices on European aged cheddars. Everything you were doing was great, but I would just add more! Like a light dessert (like dark chocolate) or fruit after dinner so you feel more satisfied. Your headaches and low energy were likely from your blood sugar dipping if you're used to consuming more sugar & carbs. You would acclimate to that. Also make sure you're adding enough salt to your food so your blood pressure doesn't dip. I'm a first time viewer! Nice vid 👌

I've been eating about 80% wholefoods for a few months now and the difference is actually insane. My skin is so much better, my hair looks better, I have way more energy at the gym and in general, and I sleep like a baby after a crack bender. I don't think I could ever do 100% whole food/unprocessed but 80% is super do-able and the difference is genuinely noticeable. Also you do fr go through I'd say a month to a month and a half of weird withdrawal symptoms but once you're past it, you feel so good. Keep up the good work Will!

Hey will, I studied nutrition and have a BSc in nutrition from a top Canadian university and I gotta say, the changes you saw are so on point. The skin and mood/satiety you felt aligns with that the science points to. The headaches were definitely withdrawals from supplements or caffeine. I however think that yogurt and cheese, etc, are also very natural and part of a well balanced diet. You nailed it on the head with reference to increased fiber and fat tho. In sports nutrition they made an analogy; the fat is the candle and the wick is the carbs….you need fat with carbs to maintain exertion. Of course the protein is important but if you have the infrastructure without the means, doesn’t matter. Great video

The Blue Zones aren't primarily about "all-natural" or "organic" foods. They are about whole foods (i.e. unprocessed/minimally processed foods). Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, limited minimally processed animal products, etc. Just a couple of years ago, I had to live on no more than $35/week for food. I was able to eat nearly 100% Blue Zones friendly. Sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, apples, eggs, etc. What you can't do cheaply is buy *convenient* whole foods--as in minimally processed and or packaged to be as quick and/or portable as possible. You just have to buy it raw/frozen and cook it yourself if you want healthy and cheap.

Snap! I have keratosis pilaris too. Ive been eating like this the past week too (except with whole yogurt , milk and cheese as well) and a helpful guideline i was told is "if its being marketed to you, its probably not a whole food, its a product". I agree that my energy levels are so much more stable and i feel clearer and calmer and less hungry. Processed foods and particularly carbs are horrendous for making you hungry and addicted to them. I feel free-er now, reminds me of my childhood and how i would forget to eat and never be too hungry (we ate whole foods mostly then).

The experience of walking down an entire aisle of the grocery store where you can't eat any of it is so relatable. I have a histamine thing that really limits what I can have. The biggest offender is that I am reactive to sunflower and safflower oil, which are in *everything*. Anyway, I just wanted to reinforce that it's an absolute reality for some people to just not even look at a lot of food in the grocery store for all kinds of reasons.

It's all about social class really. I see those supermarket lines of products, I just think it's cattle food and I don't belong to the cattle class. There is a reason the poor are fat and the affluent are slim. We walk the same streets, but we live in two different cultures. Different food, different music, different stories. I don't crave junk food, nor do I crave pop music and blockbuster movies. All those feel boring, reptilian brain pleasure instead of neocortex subtle mixtures of sensations. I genuinely consider people who mostly consume junk food, pop music and blockbuster movies to be barely human. And I'm not the only one like that, that's how we got the coming apart in all the West in the last few decades.

People are so uneducated when it comes to food too. Where I live, they sell these snack dates with flavorings and hydrogenated seed oils, and people think they're healthy just because there's no added sugar.

Maltodextrin and citric acid are two of the examples that can indeed be derived from plant sources. Maltodextrin is just starch that has undergone partial hydrolysis and citric acid is found in cirtus fruits as well as some other fruits and vegetables. But you're right. Most of it is industrial.

Lemon, salt, pepper, herbs, spices, and olive oil, are all natural and bring flavor. The healthiest diets in the world don't avoid processed food, like olive oil or natural yogurt, they just don't include ultra-processed and chemically enhanced foods.

[@kinggrimm4338]

I don't think you even know what the healthiest diet(s) is. The most rigorously studied diet on the planet is meat based keto, and as a side note, all of the top keto doctors have moved on to carnivor. I'm afraid your well out of the loop.

[@diceymaan]

@@kinggrimm4338 I don't think you know what you are talking about. First of all, there's many ways to skin a cat if you want to diet but if we are talking about the healthiest diet by scientific research then it's still the Mediterranean diet. I have nothing against keto, it's what has helped me lose a lot of weight. But I suggest you don't get your diet information from one source of truth. Read scientific research papers and metastudies across different diets, and look at the picture in its entirety. Anyway, the word processed is misunderstood and mistakenly feared. All food except raw food is processed, it's the ultra-processing where things start to go wrong and nutrition vanishes. And while keto is a great way to lose weight, you can live just as healthy with eating some fruits too. Humans and animals have a sweet tooth because it's how we evolved to easily find vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals. And while it's true that we can get almost everything from an animals, if we eat it in its entirety. It's also true that fruits and vegetables were important to give balance and more easily get those vitamins and minerals. As a last note, always avoid any advise that gives you "a one truth", because they are talking shit and they are probably trying to sell you something.

@@kinggrimm4338 First of all, it's *you're and second, what did I just say? Don't get your information from one source. You are literally getting all your information from the carnivore train, that's not scientific. I've seen all these people's videos, but as a scientific person I'm not taking their word for it, instead I've researched their claims by reading scientific literature. Some of what they are saying is not scientifically backed up. And no, the scientific community isn't trying to hide some "truth" carnivores think they have revealed. I recommend watching some of Peter Attia's videos and the guests he talks with, about health based things and obviosly in addition you should read the science, because KZbin videos aren't the best source of truth since they aren't primary sources.

I've never realized how really different our food is, just looked in my fridge, and milk - 100% milk, yogurt - milk + bacteria, peanut butter - 100% peanut. I wonder if you couldn't find just simple porridge, not processed or if you don't like it (indeed it's much longer to cook, like 30m or so). It's not that in Ukraine we don't have this addition in food or junk food or don't have issues in diet (like higher usage of fat), but there are so many choices in normal grocery stores. People used to bake from scratch, for us, it's rather weird to use some cooking mixes. But ofc it's a skill to bake and a skill to find a good receipt 😁

One of the things I love when trying to eat healthy is learning different spices especially hot pepper. My favorite healthy lunch (and it's quick to make) is a blackened Mahi Mahi filet about 1/2" thick with cayenne / other hot ground pepper, thyme, smoked paprika (I leave it out sometimes), garlic/onion powder, oregano, black pepper, and a kick of kosher salt (never use iodinized for cooking, it's bitter). Pick your vegetable of choice as a bed (I like squash, carrot, califlower, brocolli/brocolini, pea, corn blends and every once in a while I will do half an acorn squash). Quinoa over rice if you want something like that. It's like a 10 min prep/cook time (using frozen vegs with microwave packs).
