As for intense exercise, I love Paul's opinion. As running, evolutionary creatures, we have a "fight or flight" mechanism for a reason. It's because if we can sprint, or fight off predators, we survive. If we can't, we get checked out of the gene pool. The most important part of exercise is the recovery period, not the fat burning during the exercise. Rest is when you get fit, and the more intense the exercise, the quicker you get fit because you body is thinking you are to get killed if you don't get fit real quick... The whole aerobics/cardio being the best way to lose fat came from Dr. Ken Cooper back in the 1960s, and most people still believe this baloney that makes no sense...just look at the difference between distance runners and sprinters. Which ones look like they have more muscle and are in better metabolic shape? Evolution never lies...science, interpreted by humans does, all the time...

He's obviously doing his research and the results speak for itself... he always reminds us that your mileage may vary... just as Georgi says too. Still, we should all do our research and apply the information to our own individual situation and bio reality. I have achieved success with Keto and fasting but now I see that it doesn't always mean that those were the sole reasons for success. The intermittent fasting usually means we omitted all of the toxic things we were consuming... going keto or carnivore could lead to short term success for the same reasons... just as going vegan seems miraculous in the beginning... we have to look long term as Paul has done... which is why he has adjusted his diet so much over the years. One side doesn't fit all... we can find value with Paul, georgi, as well as Shawn Baker and Ken Berry, Anthony Chaffee, etc.

What I eat varies, but the typical stuff that I probably shouldn't eat have been a big part of my diet, namely seeds and nuts. I've done lots of vegetables from time to time as well and in fact I was jumping on the vegetable train about a year ago before I realized meat was what I needed and vegetables do in fact negatively affect me more than I thought. Maple syrup and honey are also some of my guilty pleasures and some fruits. I've been eating a lot more meat lately and I'm starting carnivore today and hopefully I can make myself stick with it for at least a month. I've attempted it multiple times before but I always ruin it by adding stuff to it or just eating other stuff other than meat after only 3 days or so. Idk for sure if the fasting has made me worse or not, but I sure seem to suffer a lot when I attempt extended fasts and intermittent fasting might be increasing my cortisol too much which might explain my pain always getting worse and whatnot. I've also started eating a lot of sardines and odly enough when I ate only sardines for 4 days, I felt a lot better that usual, so although I'm already tired of them I'm definitely going to keep eating sardines. Also eat a lot of eggs but I might have a sensitivity to them, so sadly I'll be cutting that out for now

[@vonclare1]

@@Dudemeister777 you are doing well eating sardines, honestly. (very nutrient-dense). please try the carnivore diet, eat as much as you want, if allergic to eggs, then eat the yolk for now. cut out intermitent fasting also, your body seems to be signaling that you re not doing well with it. the carnivore diet done well should (like it did for me) help you and naturally carve your way to time-restricted eating, honestly. not you forcing it because its hard to binge on carnivore. also give it time, try it strictly for at least 30-90days. Sardines are so good for you, eat when you can, lots of fat...saturated, butter etc. Gut issues gone in a week for me, which i seriously suffered from for over 10 years. Good luck!

[@Dudemeister777]

@@vonclare1 I'm already planning to do everything you said and honestly have already been doing it to an extent lol. I use to eat liver as well but stopped, though I'm probably going to start again. I was also eating tons of butter for a while but stopped. I definitely plan to start eating it again, in fact I just stocked up on some. I really don't care for sardines much anymore, but I can definitely tolerate them so I'm definitely going to keep eating them, especially since they seem to be what has helped me the most with certain issues. I've attempted carnivore a couple times and failed due to cravings and getting bored of just eating meat, but I intend to stick with it this time. I was also big on seasonings, but I'm going to try and only use salt for now. Although I never managed more than a week at a time doing carnivore in the past, I've definitely noticed that just those couple attempts I did and my current regular intake of more fatty meats and protein has definitely helped a lot of my gut issues, most of which I've been dealing with for 20+ years, so although I'm still a mess health wise in many ways I've already gotten benefits. Also not sure if it's because of all the fat and protein I eat now, but I've noticed my eye sight also seems to be getting better. I always struggle with sticking with something and carnivore is no exception, but I'm sick of being sick so I really need to get my head in the game and stick with it.

If you do eat starch make sure to never it with fat at the same time. I ate rice and fatty ground beef the same meal for months and it skyrocketed my blood sugar and almost made me diabetic. The huge insulin release from the starch, fat combo will also make you incredibly tired afterwards. Good thing about fruit and juice is fructose doesn't stimulate insulin and therefore there's no post meal lethargy. Milk helps a lot with starch cravings btw and keeps me satiated all day

Yeah it's not always practical lowering starches but it's definitely possible. Incorporating some good quality orange juice is one way, and there are even some made from concentrate that are decent and sweet. Making sure to up salt intake when drinking more fluids

[@gabrielacsinte9849]

The problem is that oxidizing fat produces less energy than oxidizing glucose, that's why high carb low fat is the optimal one. Both will work on losing weight but the high fat will keep your stress hormones high because it will forced to transform that fat into glucose.

Very interesting interview. I went to Georgi's website and read a lot of his blogs. He supports a high carb low fat diet and believes that keto/ low carb dies lead to a much higher mortality rate. He also believes that intermittent fasting also leads to a higher mortality rate. He also cites studies showing that drinking a lot of Coke/Pepsi increases testosterone and larger testicles. And on and on... At this point I am very confused as to what to believe. It seems like the only place where there is agreement is that PUFAs are probably the biggest driver of poor health.

Paul, if you interview a gentleman that is inflamed, fat and probably is insulin resistant saying that fasting is not good, that doesn’t not give you credibility. Fasting is a miraculous approach to people that is insulin resistant and inflamed, not only because is the best way to autophagy and cellular reparation but also to physical flexibility, something, we, humans, have lost eating five times a day.

I believe the main message is not to fast too excessive (when trying to build mulscle vs healing and detoxing illness) and stop snacking so much. Don't combine carbs/sugar and protein in same meal. Fasting is super good for chronic illness and finding mental and spiritual connections individual to each person/situation. Development of humility and patience by not snacking all the time. Knowing what your food is worth and not eating too much. Also you can help a fast by eating things like green tea, raw garlic, raw onion, chunk of raw liver/heart/vitamin c, b vitamins, organic nutritional yeast (non fortified), sauerkraut, lemons/key limes, kimchi, sea salt/electrolytes, activated charcoal, water with salt and food grade baking soda ect... And it will benefit prolonged fasting. Make sure you have ample nutrients in your body before and during the fast. You should eat healthy before starting intermittent fasting. Ease into it.

This is discussed a lot on the Ray Peat Forum. What is recommended is made by a company called Great Lakes (I bought on Amazon last year). It is what you use to make gelatin - i.e. "jello", but this does not have added sugar, etc. Great Lakes was always a good brand, but now I might look for something more grass fed - maybe like the beef from the supplement line that Paul sells. I believe he and others just take a spoon in water (or other beverage) and drink it. You could also do what I do and make collagen rich meat stock (not bone broth) - from meaty/collagenous soup bones. I don't know the exact AA composition of this, but since it seems the high collagen is what is good , I'm assuming it is a good thing.
