Yup and some people say carnivore diets give good effects (ive never tried and never will lol cuz death wtf) because it mimics fasting. No natural sugars which are actually the desired by every cell of the body first and foremost for energy, and no fiber for the gut microbiome to interact with. Therefore rotting carcass for 3 days in your gi tract is ignored and the body is basically in a fasting state which gives rise to the energy. But it’s an unconscious fast, the meat eater does not actually know how to operate the body in a fasting state, and will never glean the proper benefits, and will ultimately feel like their life may be cut off at any second. My strongest argument for plant based is friends not food. Easy to tell the cow is sad and scared before you shove it to its death

[@digitaldale]

I'd agree with you as well. Surely the one food...being fruit that is complete in it's whole form, literally grown where we can pick it with our hands is suggesting we avoid it. I'm very skeptical of this point, the only shady rebuttal he gives is the age old 'sugar spike' argument. But as we know from studies, fructose stimulates only modest insulin secretion and does not require the presence of insulin to enter cells. If thats not the most ideal sugar we should be consuming, I don't know what is.

[@driedmango1914]

@@digitaldale yeah agree. There’s also an interesting hypothesis: does eating more fruit correlate with eating more refined/processed sugars from other sources? Either way, it’s pretty silly to say fruit is bad because of the high sugar content.

One of the side effects was that I needed significantly less sleep that usually to function well.

The key is in the gut microbiome. That really needs to be studied and tested alot more.

[@saradomim]

The key is that the human microbiome cannot digest plants, we don't digest them in our stomach, or our guts. The only place where we ferment plant matter is the colon, where we do not absorb nutrients. We are not hind gut fermenters like some primates and other herbivores. We simply do not posses the ability do digest plants at all. The only part we do somewhat good with is the soluble fiber which predominantly composes fruit flesh. Plants are toxic to humans and will forever be this way, we don't have ways to get rid of the antinutrients, natural occurring pesticides, toxins/poison and antibiotics in them. The only living thing on earth which can digest plant matter is bacteria and we don't have any that do that in a meaningful way for us. We are and will forever be obligate carnivores, raw meat is the only food for humans and key to health. Also every single plant/vegetable/fruit available in commerce as of now is completely and utterly man made so it simply cannot be part of our natural diet since it does not exist whatsoever in nature.

What he said about WHEN you eat really resonated with me. I can eat ANYTHING in the morning and feel good, no crash, nothing. Giant burrito packed with rice in the morning? Totally fine. That SAME meal in the afternoon, or evening, will put me into a coma. My guess this has to do with the natural spike in cortisol in the morning, and this somehow either counteracts the tiredness effect of carbs, or, even works synergistically with a bolus of carbs. Sans cortisol, carbs spike insulin and make you tired as fuck.

[@JeffreysDharma]

Thanks for that GREAT insight, man. I REALLY enjoyed it. I think a SIMILAR way. 🙂 Again, THANKYOU.

[@EvanNagao]

My take based on Dr. Gundry's studies is that your gut takes a lot of damage when you eat, especially eating foods with lots of lectins and glyphosate (can look these terms up if you want more info). So as the day goes on, you develop damage to the gut (leaky gut), and it makes things later in the day harder to digest. You feel tired cuz food particles seep through the lining of your gut, and your body creates an allergy response. Then, when you sleep, it gives your gut time to repair, so that when you eat your next meal, you'll have a robust gut again. One of the ideas with intermittent fasting is to give the gut sufficient time to repair so that it can digest properly, and only eat in a small window of time so that the damage done is minimal. Of course, if you eat mostly clean foods, you can potentially make this window of eating bigger, and fasting time less.

One of the main things everyone overlooks because its a 'sensitive' subject is parasites. In a standard american diet or any diet that consists of meat and processed foods with sugar and starches, parasites are able to run rampant. The more parasites You are subjected to from contamination from different restaurants, friends houses You eat at, Pets You encounter ( playing with pets and not washing hands before eating is a huge factor ) the worse shape Your G.I. tract will be in, with some infections like Roundworms being the worst ( they create huge mucoid plaque reservoirs in the Intestines and they are massive in size ) . Parasites excrete toxic discharges in Your digestive tract, cause bowel blockages, steal the nutrients from the food You eat, etc. The only diet that truly kills them and detoxes the body is raw vegan. Even if You fully clean and clear them out of Your body, You can eat one piece of cake and be reinfected instantly. Theres no miracle pill You can take for them, it takes consistency over time. Site the Essene Gospel of Peace which can be found online for free to see Jesus' hidden teachings on detoxing and purifying ( removing all parasitic infection ) . Herbert Sheltons PDFs on fasting can also be found online free which have lots of great info. Essentially You clean the digestive tract out of any and all debris, then start from scratch as raw vegan, never eating cooked, frozen, or rotten foods again. This is the holy of holy diets only for those who truly wish to master the body. You will ascend to the heavens with Your vibration and be reborn on a cellular level if You pull off the Essene detox.

[@justinw1765]

First one is off. Sinclair and many others consistently say that plant based (or plant high) tends to be better long term. As he talks about in the actual video (and contradicts Fridman), there are certain amino acids that are higher in meat than in plant foods that stimulate m-Tor pathways, which in animal studies significantly REDUCES longevity. The Blue Zone research bears this out in relation to humans, and points to applying to not just animal studies. One of the commonalities of the Blue Zone areas and populations, is a low to moderate animal protein consumption--much lower than the typical American diet. One of the places, Lorma Lima CA is actually vegetarian because it is the 7th Day Adventists (a Christian religious group) community that promotes and expects a vegetarian diet of its members (it is part of their core, basic creed besides the usual Christian stuff). There is a video (see the channel Tonic, I believe) of a chef visiting the area and meeting some of the old folks in the gym. One of whom is 80 and doing pull ups and flipping around his body, slowly and controlled--better than the 40 year old chef guy could do (who looks to be a fairly in shape, Swedish guy). Old, fit dude is a long time vegetarian. Then fasting is mentioned as particularly important--actually the most important. Then certain chemicals like Resveratrol and NMN (I believe) that Sinclair in particular talks about. But people tend to hear what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe.

Young people are the ones who drive the world forward, if people got old without actually aging, then there would be no need for procreation. No procreation, no young people, no innovation. Stagnation, people living toooo long... sounds like a nightmare to me. Please let me die after 60, definitely don't let me live to be 100, I want to die at some point and let the next generation take over.

@Etevaldo Skylab That's fair and all, and I respect your opinion, but when I say young people drive innovation I mean 25-35. 16 year olds are unanimously stupid, and it seems like an exception to the rule to have 80 year olds driving innovation, that is not natural or normal. Also Life is suffering... not death. Death is completion. Life is also beautiful, not just suffering, but death is nothing to fear. Being beaten to death is different than dying at 80 in your sleep from heart complications.

A couple notes. First berries and some fruits (eg. strawberries) actually do not have very much sugar. Look it up in a calorie app if you don't believe me. Second, if you are low carb, you consider ice cream, donuts, and French Fries to be carbs, whereas these are all fats if you are a low fat dieter. Both groups agree that these are less healthy and broccoli is more healthy. To see the difference between what a low fat and a low carb person thinks about the term carb, check the calorie count of an ounce French Fries vs baked potato. If you are talking about healthy carbs, then the low carb approach is better.

unfortunately the low fat narrative and guidance we've had for half a century is directly responsible for the catastrophic explosion in modern diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer. they are all metobolic diseases. if you reduce fat you have to replace it with carbs like sugar and often refined grans (which effectively are sugars).

I think Mediterranean and Okinawa’n diet alone is not responsible for longevity. Both regions lead more or less stress-free lives than other regions. When one has less stress he/she would less likely crave a sugary snack or a steak and less likely to overeat. Just my two cents.

Eating fruit offers several benefits to the liver, primarily due to their high content of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Some specific benefits include: Detoxification Support: Fruits, especially citrus fruits like lemons and oranges, contain vitamin C, which helps the liver in detoxifying harmful substances. The antioxidants in fruit neutralize free radicals that can damage liver cells. Liver Protection: Many fruits contain polyphenols, which help protect the liver from oxidative stress. Grapes and berries, for example, have been shown to reduce inflammation and prevent liver damage. Fiber for Fat Metabolism: Fiber-rich fruits like apples, pears, and berries aid digestion and help the liver break down and metabolize fats more efficiently. This reduces the risk of fatty liver disease. Support in Regeneration: Fruits like berries, grapes, and avocados contain nutrients that may help regenerate liver cells, potentially aiding in liver recovery after damage. Hydration and Functioning: Fruits with high water content, like watermelon and cucumbers, help keep the liver hydrated, which is crucial for proper liver functioning and bile production. Incorporating a variety of fruits into your diet can help support liver health, reduce the risk of liver disease, and improve overall liver function in a well balanced diet. Leafy greens, like spinach, kale, and arugula, are rich in chlorophyll, which helps detoxify the liver by neutralizing heavy metals, chemicals, and pesticides. Leafy greens are fantastic for supporting detoxification, alkalizing the body, and reducing the liver’s workload through fiber. On the other hand, fruits offer unique benefits like hydration, energy, and specific antioxidants that further protect and regenerate the liver. To optimize liver health, it’s best to have a balanced intake of both fruits and leafy greens, as they complement each other in their roles.

Ive been vegan for six years now and have an active job, active lifestyle and workout regularly. It has never been this easy to stay in shape. Im almost 40 years old and are in way better shape now then i was in my twenties. Allergies are gone, testosterone and energy levels are up. The pump i get in the gym is unreal! Ive never been this lean with this much muscle mass (Im 6"2, 200 lbs at around 8% fat). Take it from someone who was a heavy meat eater for almost 30 years. The answer to most problems, in the body and on this planet, is a plant based diet, if done correctly. Skip processed foods and stick to veggies, fruits, grain and nuts. It will mend most diseases and heal the body for sure. Supplements i take (for maximising life and muscle gains) are: Iron Zink Creatine Calcium Magnesium B12 Ginkgo (for brain power) And no, there is no difference in taking supplements and getting them from foods (most meat eaters would benefit from taking these supplements too). In the end everything is chemistry!

[@Matake2007]

@@THEAMISHCYBORG I’ve been eating animal based for a while and to be frank, there’s no need for the supplements you listed because I get them from my food. Especially that B12 and Iron, not to mention the others. Liver is the ultimate superfood. Also, I get that many vegans are against cruelty to animals but that’s not all farms and serious carnivores eat grass fed/pasture raised meat which tend to come from way better farms. It’s not a pleasure solely when eating, in fact, I’d say liver can be tough to eat sometimes but it’s that our bodies respond well. Not to mention, the fate of many animals we eat are pretty gruesome in the wild. Vegans don’t exactly have clean hands either, plenty of animals and habitats destroyed for single crop agriculture.

[@craneman001]

You mentioned that I had bias yet I ate animal products my entire life until about 9 years ago and noticed nothing but improvements.

Talk about conformation bias! The best life is one that lives and finding some strange justifications chopping off they’re heads for a few minutes of taste pleasure.

@@blakedavis6193 I don't forget my ethics or logic. I would say it is illogical to expect humans to not eat meat. Our brains grew large, and our intestines got smaller due to choosing to eat animals over eating plants. This is why we're human. Then since the agricultural revolution, and the increasing reliance on plants for food, the human brain has been shrinking again. Since our brain and intelligence is what makes us human, and logic is very much of the brain, the logical thing to do is eat animals. Unless you hate humans and favor intellectual regression for our species. Also, given that there are nutrients we require to live and thrive, that only exist in animal foods, it is not unethical to eat it, unless again, you're ashamed to be human. All living things must consume other life to stay alive, this is the nature of reality. It's not shameful or wrong. A vegan is not more logical, or more ethical than me.

The idea that plant protein is not 'complete' was 70s science that has long been disproven. And you don't need to eat a huge quantity, some plant based food is higher in protein than meat. And B12 is the only thing that needs supplementing - however, 90% of all B12 supplements are fed to livestock.

Eat a healthy diet that incorporates a variety of unprocessed animal products and a variety of unprocessed plant-based foods for at least one month (preferably three months) and then go and get a comprehensive/full blood test* 2.) After you eat the aforementioned healthy diet for one to three months, eat just a healthy whole-foods, plant-based diet (pretty much a vegan diet but honey can be included) for another one to three months (keep it the same length of time as your last diet) before getting another comprehensive/full blood test*. 3.) Monitor how you feel (for example: are you more energised or fatigued? Are you more happy or sad?) and how you look (for example: are you more bloated more often? Is your skin more pale or irritated? Are you leaner or fatter? Are you less muscular or more muscular?) 4.) Compare your comprehensive/full blood test results from both diets and see which one shows better internal health (for example: does eating less animal products reduce my LDL cholesterol and boost my HDL cholesterol?) 5.) Make a decision on which diet you believe is best for you based on whether you believe that the benefits of that diet outweigh the costs of it (for example: by eating a healthy diet that incorporates animal products, you will likely find an increase in LDL cholesterol but notice that you put on lean muscle mass quicker and feel satiated after your meals due to the fats in animal products (although these can be found in nuts, legumes, etc.). However, you may believe that the opportunity costs associated with higher LDL cholesterol - in the form of the increased risks this poses for your long-term health and a reduction in your lifespan - may not be worth it. All in all, stop simply judging what diets do to your own unique body based on how you look or even feel, and actually go and get comprehensive/full blood tests which actually indicate how physically and internally healthy you are - after all, there is not much point looking a certain way if you are pushing yourself to premature death. From these diets and comprehensive/full blood tests, you may find out other important information (for example: you may realise that you need to also trial an elimination diet or low FODMAP diet as some food may cause you issues - particularly Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or life-saving information (for example: your LDL cholesterol may be dangerously high and impacting your heart health). Either way, and at the very least, the results are great to have on record as they can act as a baseline measurement for you and your doctors to gauge changes in your health over the course of your lifetime. I hope this was interesting to read and, more importantly, I hope it will help as many people as possible! *Insist that your doctor (general practitioner) include the following (and more if possible!) in the blood test: HDL and LDL cholesterol, haemoglobin, blood sugar levels, white blood cells, electrolytes, heart inflammation, liver function, creatinine, testosterone, cortisol, and, if you are male, a prostrate specific antigen (PSA) test just for your safety.
