Junk Food Spikes This Blood Test & Triggers 1 lb Fat Gain in Just a Week (STUDY)

[@capcomfan82]

Junk has so many calories its wild. If you take out junk food and sweetened beverages out the diet within 1 year you will lean out without trying.

[@JohnnStr1]

We need more people telling us truth like Eric. Just finished reading "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" by Lauren Clark. It is fascinating how society gets lied by Industry.

[@petejitsuman9025]

Hey Mike Thanks again , just listening to your podcast , I totally relate and as always great information . At 64 , I have almost completely deleted all processed and junk foods , lifted my training levels and I feel fantastic , knee pain gone , weight loss was mostly fat , I lifted my protein, HMB , creatine , sticking with Berberine , Taurine , keeping good muscle tone and strength..I feel great , my wife thinks I look great- bonus😊 .. Your podcast has been a tremendous help and motivater , I listen to , save and share every episode .. It's Monday morning here , I have the day iff , so beach , sandbags and protein, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

[@simplysuelou2014]

Thank you for the reminder to chew food slowly and thoroughly. I realized I was chewing maybe 15 times and have started with 30-40 times. Logic says the gut can deal with the more masticated food better and that’s just the start.

[@0ptimal]

It's pretty unbelievable how much worse the man-made "foods" are compared to real food. As a society we are still in the stone age when it comes to how we approach food. Great video

[@devintompkins9626]

It's intentional

[@curiouskitten]

Interesting point of view. I don't think people in stone age were fat and sick. They lacked UPF.

[@Winterascent]

I'm fairly certain they approached food much better in the stone age, up to the end, at least. You know, since humans existed mostly in the stone age, right up until the bronze or copper age, which was well after farming began in societies that were also using metals. I know what you mea, though, but as a society, we're far more in love with a really bad idea that anything humans can make is somehow better than nature.

[@hammersaw3135]

We bought a new flavor of soda to try it, and when I checked the label on the back it says 1 small bottle = 125% DV of sugar. They should have to put a skull and crossbones next to it

[@Charvo75]

Seed oils and sugar. Add in a ton of chemicals. Deadly.

[@dawnelder9046]

And even in so called healthy food, eating on a caloric deficit you will still gain weight on them. Eg A tablespoon of low fat salad dressing in 6 cups of salad, no croutons. We were never designed to eat grass in any form. Or 10 gram of fibre cerial with half a cup of skim milk.

You're looking jacked, Mike. Keep up the good work.

[@danielbrooks3942]

I sat down last night with some cheez-its and literally heard your voice in my head from previous videos on this very food. I still ate them and woke up this morning feeling like trash. Like a good church sermon, it’s good to be reminded of the same things again and again. - Thanks for the education and great content!

[@lilascharmante2712]

😂😂😂 I personally found that pairing chips with vegetables first to be quite the deterrent. I almost never want to cut up broccoli and eat it before having said chips

[@naturallawgiver]

Another reason to avoid the processed gluten free foods is that most of the substitute ingredients such as cassava flour have been shown to be contaminated with heavy metals...

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

My celiac disease was never controlled until I eliminated ALL grains.

[@dawnelder9046]

​@@theantiqueactionfigureI needed to get rid of all grains as well. My friend has the worse problem with rice. The thing so many gluten free products are made from. Grass in any form is not a human food. Grains, sugar, seed oils. Natural flavors and preservatives from grass.

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

@dawnelder9046 My rheumatologist monitors my gluten numbers. Blood tests every 60 to 90 days. I track my food using Cronometer, so I can go back for comparison. Even white rice will raise my gluten levels. Eating the Roundup that's in most of our grains is not healthy either!

[@naturallawgiver]

@@theantiqueactionfigure of course eating gluten will raise it's presence on a blood test. That doesn't mean it's a problem. Same for insulin. It's SUPPOSED to go up when we eat

Eating before bed also distract your gut because 80% of your immune system resides in your gut and if your body is busy processing food, it's not busy doing other things like making sure the body is clean and ready to go

[@Rileyed]

Yeah but I’ve read it helps rest too. Why we always have taken naps after eating. Can find both sides. I think as long as you eat something that digests easily. Some recommend banana;yoghurt;honey to increase melatonin. Experiment for self is best

[@sfrealestatedealmaker6001]

@@Rileyedbanana = sugar right before bed? 😂 Okidokie

[@Rileyed]

@@sfrealestatedealmaker6001 I’ve never been fat my whole life. It’s easily digestible. The whole sugar fear is for diabetics or folks who destroyed their metabolism. We can handle a little sugar in fruit. The brain likes it. 6-2….200; Same clothes since highschool. Chilling out/not stressing is more important for staying slim than avoiding bananas.

[@LatimusChadimus]

@@Rileyed catching the isis (heard from The Boondocks) is not healthy, and your body puts you to sleep to speed up digestion cuz your body can do more when you're not conscious. It doesn't help you sleep. Even drinking/smoking before bed doesn't help folks sleep properly, because they never get into deep sleep

[@Ryanjt2798]

Simply taking out seed oils will do wonders for health. That’s basically what I did, now I’m never eating processed food. I eat tons of meat, eggs, butter, tallow, potatoes, fruit, honey. Basically it

[@orchidsrosesg_disone4431]

I was born into a diabetic family and i have had to work hard to keep healthly. I feel like my parents didn't care about their health..father was unhealthy from my birth . So was my mother. Have felt like crap for a decade nothing helping i asked my dr to do a glucose tolerance test. Fast 8 hrs then have blood drawn then have a sugary drink then have blood tested 30, 60, 120 mins. Drs have been my life. My parents passed crappy genes on. So much so i swear i would need Divine healing before having a kid. My faith is strong.

[@youtubeuser4221]

Experienced this first hand. I've always had high trigs, but month on Keto prior to a checkup crashed my trigs at about 55% compared to where I was in my prior year testing. At this point I look at most of the grocery store like the boxes have skulls and crossbones on them instead of fun mascots.

[@danendicott]

Types of Fat seems to be the major factor in this equation. My suspicions are that seed oils played the biggest factor that caused the weight gain.

[@robertbeckler5058]

Figure it out before it's to late if you even care. It seems to be the nature of humanity. Some people try some really don't care. Good info, even though lots of it is obvious. I do eat late so I will try eating earlier and see how it works with sleep. Thanks

[@jonb9194]

Very insightful perspective on addictive junk food. After hundreds of hours of looking into factory oils, I've concluded that humans only need a very small amount of omega-6 fats in their diet. And anything over that small amount is almost entirely stored as body fat instead of using the oil as energy. The end result of eating junk food is that 80 to 90 percent of the factory oil calories will be STORED AS BODY FAT. I would be interested in your perspective on this hypothesis - if true, it would be the leading cause of the obesity epidemic.

I’ve also been lifting weights for about a year and was wondering why I wasn’t losing more weight now I know why and thankyou for all the great info on walking

[@albertfitzgerald2309]

Personally, and this is just from my own anecdotal experience, but I’m of the opinion that ultra processed food actually causes acute (as in, instantaneous and temporary) metabolic dysfunction. Basically, I think that in addition to its palatability, it causes you to have a reduced caloric maintenance requirement. I can’t prove this but I’ve felt it with my own body.

liquid calories are the worst, very low satiety compared to more solid foods

[@DieselCheese]

Would a cookie dough made from a mix of powdered oats, protein powder, enough butter and/or oil to make it palatable (crumbly or like normal dough) and a bit salt&sugar be considered junkfood? (eaten raw, no idea if this mix can be baked) I ate nothing than this for over a week as I was a bit depressive and lazy, and it somehow doesn't feel healthy in terms of how much energy and "warmth" it gives, I guess because of the quite high amount of butter/oil you need to make it tasty, one can also use partly milk instead of fats but then it gets really sticky and gooey, but also very tasty. This seems like the ultimate survival food for me, ingredients are cheap and have a long shelf life if you take oil instead of butter, and it's something you could eat for month's if there really would be nothing else there, cookie dough takes a long time to get boring as it's just so tasty and easily modifieable with other ingredients, coconut for example mixes perfect with it.

[@NutritionPolice]

What are you going on about? Cookie dough is eggs, flour, sugar, butter. It's not whatever you are describing above. But even if it was, Seed oils are poison, who cares if the poison is cheap? And oats are not healthy at all, look up chlormequat. Eat low carb and lots of animal products, not whatever weird cheap seed sludge you are trying to advocate for.

[@JohnJohnson-wy6fk]

Nope. Thats healthy. Junk food is food that is super palatable, high in calories, fiberless, low in micronutrients, and provides little satiety

[@trail.blazer]

@@JohnJohnson-wy6fk On the other hand, someone with (pre-)diabetes might find a mix of oats and protein powder enough to keep blood glucose high, depending on how much is being eaten. Also, that cookie dough mix is not particularly high in many micronutrients. If it contains seed oils, then my opinion is that it is a bit junky. It certainly doesn't fall strongly into 'healthy'. Maybe sustaining. If it is quite a high amount of butter/oil then mixing that with a high amount of carbs is bad and very much junk.

[@JohnJohnson-wy6fk]

@@trail.blazer Your logic falls flat considering that those with pre-diabetes/diabetes have to also need weary of high fruit consumption. You gonna call that junky too? You do not rate the health of food based on the sickest on society.

[@trail.blazer]

@@JohnJohnson-wy6fk In the context of type 2 diabetes, too much fruit might be a problem. However, fruit is also fructose, and that has a slower effect on blood glucose than consuming other forms of sugar. Fruit does not contain much fat. So, at least from a macro nutrient perspective, I would not call fruit junky. Some fruit is in my opinion too high sugar but each to their own. However, this cookie dough is well on the way to being considered ultra-processed. It is not particularly full of nutrition and is missing some essential nutrients. Eat it for a week, you might be okay'ish, eat it for a month and it could be a problem.

[@Rileyed]

All we need to is always have stock/bone broth and organs and flesh and some bitter herbs and spices and honey and butter,cream and natural salt with seasonal fruits and veggies and…..pickled foods and sardines.

To name a few more: bha,bht, carraageen,red 40, yellow, blue, titanium dioxide,aluminum phosphate If it's packed in plastic you also get a free ingredient that leeches in bpa/microplastics which are linked to 100 things and found in brain and ever other organ.(according to rhonda Patrick's latest video 50% more found in brain compared to 2016, so it's getting worse) Anything with processed wheat has high levels of glyphosate which disrupts gut biome and may be connected to Parkinsons,ibd,ibs,sibo,and leaky gut. Also the guy who lost "weight" on twinkies likely lost bone mass and muscle mass weight. This is something we see with glp users(wegovy/ozembic) too because many still eat junk but small portions.

[@ge2719]

Wait. They "presented" the exact same amount of each in terms of calories, yet they ate more of the ultra processed foods, and they gained weight? So the issue once again is entirely down to people's choices. The study needed to force them to eat everything in both phases to measure the difference between each when the calories are the same. Otherwise all the negative health issues that result can't be claimed to because by the form of food, because the intake wasn't the same. Another worthless study.

“No amount is safe”. This is a bit of fearmongering. If your diet is anywhere from 80-90% whole foods the rest is almost negligible. My diet is 90% whole foods with a OMAD schedule. Once a month, sometimes twice I have burgers and fries with my family. On birthdays I have cake. Over a lifetime this would be almost negligible. What, maybe reduce my life by five minutes 😂. Worrying so much about ultra processed food is going to kill you much sooner than the odd consumption of ultra processed food. Personally I wouldn’t care if ultra processed food disappeared, actually would rather it would because it is a real problem for many.

Sorry mike but sourdough bread and sourdough pancake are ultra processed food. Take the time to look at the ancient Egyptian diet and the fact mummies of women in their 30s had massive calcification in their arteries and suffered from obesity. I hope you reframe from wheat and processed foods don't give in to the KZbin algorithms and guidelines.

[@GucciPVNDA]

False. Sourdough bread is traditionally made from flour, water, and salt with a natural fermentation process using wild yeast and bacteria. It’s not considered an ultra-processed food, which typically refers to foods with many industrial additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. Sourdough bread, especially if homemade or traditionally made, is quite different from industrially produced breads.

[@GucciPVNDA]

Obesity may have been present among the elite class, who had access to more food and luxuries. Mummies show signs of health problems like heart disease, but this was likely due to the high consumption of starchy foods, fats, and sugars (such as honey), combined with wealth and inactivity, rather than the presence of modern processed foods.

[@UnknownUser-sc6jx]

You are clearly a bit slow 🤕 but let's be clear for all the special people like yourself when you take grains and genetically modify them by selective breeding then process them into a refined product then mix them with more refined product and bake it you have processed food like products " junk food " denying this is just protecting your sugar addiction ​@@GucciPVNDA

Sourdough bread ultra processed? Let's please keep the focus on corporatized grains, desserts, drinks please.

Just like today that calcification can happen from being sedentary allowing cholesterol to turn into a waxy substance. Those from the wealthy class of ancient Egypt still would have been lazy since they didn't have to work. I do believe it's a processed food but you're getting the same thing out of supplements you're getting the same thing out of purchasing seasonings just like you would get the same thing out of protein powder. He offers it as a means to diversify your diet and giving yourself a chance to have some extra fermented foods that can be a little fun.
