It's common sense your body goes for the sugar before it goes for the actual fat. So yes your not a rocket scientist. Your one of the biggest clickbaiters on healty. It's been a fact long before KZbin that you cant eat too many veggies but can eat too much fruit. The only people who clickbait more then you in the health world on yt are sten ekberg and eric berg. No they arent heroes. They are going to say the same thing everytime and that's to keto diet regardless what health issue they talk about. Your going to say fast no matter what. Ok we get it.

When I was sick with IBS, I started eating only fruit because I was too sick (and lazy) to prepare food in any way. So as I actually rid myself of IBS and its symptoms, I kept going on a fruit diet. At this point, I began losing weight to the tune of 65 pounds. This is more of a weight loss than I have ever achieved. That is why it has continually puzzled me to hear youtube food experts talking negatively about the eating of fruit.

Fructose is fructose, doesn't matter where it comes from. What matters is the nutrition that comes with the fructose, you get good nutrition from many fruits, while you dont get any good nutrition from any kind 9f corn syrup.

[@Paul-Weston]

@Luis MFQ what percentage of people here on this forum do you think run marathons, compete in ultra running or long distance cycle races?. Most of the people who look to De Lauer for advice, are already overweight and they're looking for advice on fat reduction and weight maintenance once they've lost the fat. Consuming sugar and fructose is not part of a successful weight maintenance programme. Once they've lost the weight they may decide to get into extreme endurance sports. Fructose and sugar may help with that. However, I workout In the gym, when I used to eat the typical bodybuilding diet of rice, chicken, vegetables and low fat six meals a day, if I didn't eat a high carb meal within an hour of completing my workout I was utterly exhausted. Now I eat one or two meals a day, high fat, moderate protein and 0% carbs, I don't get that exhaustion post workout, and sometimes I don't feel the need to eat for hours after my workout.

I have always believed that fruit in moderation does not make you fat.There are so many nutrients in fruit, coupled with the fibre, I have always lost weight by eating fruit, now I understand why. Thank You

[@climhazzard115]

The only fruit I consume on a daily basis are Bananas and Lemons, and the only fruit I consume on a weekly basis are avocados. Mostly for potassium and vitamin C. During the summer I'll also occasionally have fresh picked berries or Cantaloupe. I suppose eating to many bananas could be a problem, but I generally only have one or two per day. Actually, when it comes to foods with fructose, I'm a little more interested in the effects of raw honey. If there's any fructose based food that I eat to much of, it's probably honey. I've heard the fructose in honey mostly goes to the digestive tract undigested, where it then acts as a mild laxative. I know the laxative properties of honey are real, but I don't know how much of it is from the fructose, or it's other properties.

[@WolfManJammer]

Interesting timing as I ate the entire container of Mango slices today (semi-slowly over a 5 hour span). Probably ended up being 5 mangos. But I felt great and it sure hit the spot. I'd like to see more on honey. Being in semi-rural New England, there are some bee keepers that swear by the stuff. Enzymes, rare nutrients, vitamins, almost a perfect food from what I'm to understand... until we get to the glycemic index.

[@KrimsonKracker]

Honey is anti-microbial, well known to have some medicinal benefits. Just like all refined carbs though, it's best consumed in moderation! 😉

[@johannesherbst3632]

Honey has even more fructose than sugar and no fibers. So the vitamins etc are not helping against fatty liver. One or Two teaspoon are not bad for a healthy person. But trying to replace sugar with honey will not reduce the fructose in your meals and in your blood. Persons with Diabetes know that.

Uric acid is a huge problem, and fructose is the biggest contributor. Overeating fruit is still bad, and the sugar can drive you to overeat it. The big problem is we do not produce uricase to process that fructose. It's a genetic thing we all share. Worse, juicing fruits makes them more metabolically damaging. Think of it as self-processed carbs. Worse, overeating other carbs causes the liver to convert it to fructose, leading to the same issues. The good news is you can control uric acid by moderating fructose and other contributors. The book "Drop Acid" has the details.

[@sxfghsdgfasdfgadsf5713]

This just isn't true. This attitude that "because sugar is in fruit, it must be bad!" is stupid and exactly what this video disproves. The vast, vast majority of people won't ever "overeat fruit", and the sugar in the fruit absolutely does not cause you to overeat it, and that's because the fibre in the fruit is very satiating and counteracts any negative effects that sugar would have on our bodies. Consuming fruit does not make you want to "binge on fruit or sugar" - it does the opposite, actually. And by the way, this video just tells us what we've always known - fruit isn't the enemy, and never will be, despite it's "sugar content".

The problem with fructose is that it only gets metabolised in the liver right? Which means regardless of the source it’s bad, especially for people trying to lose weight who will have at the very least insulin resistance, and are being told they can eat as much fruit as they want to lose weight!

[@Art--Deco]

The dose makes the poison. It would take buckets of fruit even for a fat person, who is otherwise NOT eating junk food or copious amounts of fat along WITH the fruit to make weight loss impossible. Eating whole fruit (particularly non tropical sweet fruit) has all the information - fiber and nutrients - to make you satiated long before you'll get fat. Fructose is not just fructose, the highly processed, chemically altered fructose-glucose of junk food acts differently in the body than the straight fructose from an apple.

[@donewittit6607]

Fruit doesn't promote insulin resistance if you already have insulin resistance you might lay off a sweet fruit until you are carb adapted from vegetable fruits and non-starchy vegetables then try fruit but don't blame fruit sweet fruit that is for your insulin resistance and sweet fruit doesn't make you fat regardless if you're fat already show me the studies that proves that

[@demonized3299]

Actually not true that its bad. I used Stan Efferdings Vertical diet and reversed my type 2 diabetes and every day I had a cup of sweet potato and one orange. The orange divided into a half an orange with 2 meals actually lowers your blood sugar. The fructose in small dosages stimulates the liver by going directly there and improves liver enzymes and keeps the metabolism and body temperature healthy and helps you burn fat and improve your health markers. I am proof of that, I became insulin resistant as a competitive strongman and when I retired I wanted to lose weight and get healthy and Stan sent me links to studies that showed that fructose has no bad effect at all under 100 grams a day, an orange has like 6 grams so you shouldnt see it like its a bad thing that its gettign metabolized in the liver, this is actually good for the liver..of course this depends on the rest of your diet, your activity, your calories etc etc. I will be honest with you, I did carnivore for half a year and I did keto for a year and I never felt healthier than when I readded that little orange and that cup of sweet pototao preworkout. ALL my health markers improved. Just passing on my story hope it helps.

You made a great case for the fructose in fruit not being as bad as concentrated sources of fructose in most snacks, but why consume it at all? I'm someone who has never been fat no matter what I consumed due to my eating habits, so fruit making me fat was never a concern of mine. It's more a question of whether fruit is doing anything good for you that you don't already obtain from meat/fats. From my point of view, the only good argument for fruit is that it tastes good and is an interesting flavor. You mention that quercetin and polyphenols can mitigate some of the harmful effects, but in a low/no-carb diet, are they helpful? I mean to say that if you can be healthy eating a carnivore diet, is there any advantage to consuming fruits? This is from someone who is primarily interested in optimizing their own health.

Easy way to do it is don't eat past 7pm and so by 7am the next day it's 12 hours by noon it's 16 hours and so you do some workout it can even be walking at least an hour and after eat whatever you want but not till you're full just a minimum portion and then repeat the process and over time that's weight will come off the first 2 days are the hardest but after those 48 hours it will become easier and easier. You can by ketone strips at any pharmacy to monitor your progress, this has worked for countless people Ive told this too including me I used to be 215 now I'm 164 lbs in just like 2 months. It works and this guy here is what he does. Well not the eat anything part but he does the same, eat 1 meal once a day don't snack don't do diets nothing just fast apart from losing weight there's tons tons of benefits that modern science is against because it actually reveses illness including diabetes, try it! It will be a game changer I guarantee, and most importantly drink water make sure when you fast you're always hydrated you can go a couple weeks with no food I've ever seen 60 day plus fasts but can't go without water.

He doesn't advocate a vegan diet. Go Keto or Ketovore. It works better than vegan

[@DebbieTDP]

@@FLS713HTX If you eat a lot of carbs after fasting you're not getting much benefits. Don't need the ketone sticks if you're not cutting out carbs

[@dontmesstheoriginal454]

@@DebbieTDP Yes, thank you. I have done Keto with intermittent fasting and it certainly works but what then? Keto gives good results but if you do it too long then there are dangers and possibly even shortened life. For long-term health I think that Joel Fuhrman is on the right track. I intend to try 6 weeks vegan with fasting to see what it does for me and then adjust it to find what will be best on a more permanent basis.

[@shadygrove3738]

Good for you! I too am doing fasting with vegan diet and it's working great. I have lost 68 lbs so far! I have lots of energy and enjoy 2 good sized meals a day on my eating days. I am also familiar with Joel Fuhrman's work. I am being monitored by a Nutritionist and it helps to add some supplements. Good luck with your plan, you should do well.

[@davidchung1697]

Thomas is so enthusiastic when he talks about nutrition! Good stuff. I didn't know that having greater percentage of body fat implies greater lipolysis. It makes sense though. This means it becomes more difficult to burn fat as one becomes leaner and easier to burn carbohydrate than fat.

[@UPHENOS]

I should probably be ok eating the occasional kiwi and lemon juice on my daily plates. In the summer I eat a slice of watermelon/melon about twice a week and a few grapes every other day. That's it when it comes to fruit. Sweets are a no no, as are carbs and sugar in general. I often go OMAD, other times I eat nothing and my constants are fasting and a low carb plan. I also workout very early in the morning on an empty stomach.

[@davida6299]

Great video again!

[@MerkleAkrunphleuphle]

I've been eating like 5 or 6 apples a day for a year or two. I can't stop even though I know its to much fiber.

[@LaMoria.]

Lol, I regularly break a fast with a fruit salad of about 5 bananas, 2 cups of wild berries, grapes, an apple, mango, kiwi and figs. Like 1200 cal fruit bowl or more 🍻🥁

[@jasonk8775]

Fruit usually comes with a lot of potassium

[@TheSmfilip]

I'm on my best mood when combining carnivore with fruit. Sugar just has an element to it that cannot be replaced. Carbs on the other hand just spike the insulin kinda horizontally and puts the weight on me, while sugar seems to open me up in a way. Anybody has a similar experience?

[@lavellnutrition]

Can't you supplement with proteolytic enzymes?

[@Speedslip-bq2gk]

My guess?.yes!!!! Hurray....

Great video. This crazy keto thing and ultra low carb thing is a fad. It’s good to cut down on processed stuff 1000% agreed on that

[@purehoneyy.b]

No, it is a medically prescribed diet that is affective for many diseases.

[@purehoneyy.b]

And always will be.

[@rickjames9866]

@@purehoneyy.b it’s a fad diet. I personally eat low carb diets, mainly for weight loss reasons. But if not for that, I’d eat more moderate amount of carbs. As long as you cut out the processed foods, you will be 90% of the game. A good rule to follow is…if it grew from the ground, then it’s good. I would not want to eat something like white rice or any kind of bread or cereal. Steel cut oats are a different story, and same with most fruits. Imagine being afraid of something like fruits, some of the healthiest foods on the planet are fruits! You just need to put things into context! Diabetic and insulin resistant people and obese people should stay away from these things. Even fruits for them aren’t a good idea. But for other people who want to lose weight, but are otherwise healthy, some fruits and non processed carbs can be a healthy option. You just need to pick the right ones.

[@MeloraBeecroft]

Fruit releases fat in the body. My daughter eats high fruit just by preference and is really lean and fit compared to her peers. Strong as well. Back flip after back flip.

@@Thenakedfinisher I knew fruit wasn't a problem that many health channels were (and still are) saying is a problem, as if they're bad for diabates, not allowed on keto diets, bad for cancer, etc...

I would like to ask you a question: if you had to help me figure out a ballpark of daily calorie intake for me: 47 years old. 6.2 and moderate to high activity level… what is the amount of cal. I should be thinking of? I am getting very different messages. I am on a keto diet and I intermittent fast daily… my weight is 175 .

[@liortzfati6065]

what about apple on keto once a week?

[@EddieTSanders]

If you eat it in small quantities it's good. Our ancestors used to eat it. But they went more time without eating. Scarcity was a real thing. It happens in poor countries. And people are slim and walk all day. Cars have destroyed walking.
