Longevity Diet: How Much Protein, Fat, and Carbs Do We Need to Live A Long Life? | Dr. Joel Fuhrman

[@georgemarino434]

This father and daughter partnership really works and is so great! Jenna asks the best questions and gets her dad to explain in ways that everyone can understand! Dr. Fuhrman always has the most interesting plant based information. I'm always learning new things when listening to this amazing Doctor. Thank you and I look forward next talk.

Its never too late to change your diet. A few years back I was working at Weimar Institute in California and we had a 92 year old come into the program who was on oxygen and could not walk more than 4-5 steps without having to sit down and rest. Yet after 3 weeks on their lifestyle program with a healthy whole plants foods diet he was off oxygen, walking up and down hills without stopping. Change is possible, it just takes commitment to act upon your desires to be healthy and live with a healthy mind and body.

[@joanneclark8256]

whole plant? so do you think keto isn't ok or will work,?

[@annemccarron2281]

​@@joanneclark8256As Dr. Fuhrman said, a WFPB diet is "nutrient dense." It has the highest quanity of fiber (meat has none), antioxidants (meat has none), phytochemicals, vitamins & minerals. Why would you chose to eat predominantly a food group that is so inferior in multiple nutrients?

Love this... my fav so far! This is the best, most educationally info-packed podcast I've watched so far!! Nutritarian has changed my life, health, stamina. Never thought I could rid all meds, ride mtn bike again, walk 1-3 miles again when just one year ago I lived like a 68 yr old crippled, and couldn't move without 400mg of Celebrex. No need for Celebrex, no omeprazole, no sleep aids... 70 pounds lower. Now I'm trying to research if there's a more natural, nonsurgical way to rid "calcified"? bumps on knuckles that caused fingers to be deformed? Suggestions, Dr. Fuhrman? I'm not thrilled about replacing my distal finger joints! Thank you, Dr. Fuhrman and Jenna so very much!

[@joanneclark8256]

what did you do to loose weight? what did you eat before?

[@annemccarron2281]

The body can't even reduce calcification in the arteries.

I trust Dr.Fuhrman, he is for real. He is looking great as well, not haggard for his diet includes healthy foods including fats.

[@kimbertels4365]

So glad I found this video. I am 68 yrs old and have been following the Nutritarian diet for three years now. My health improvement has been pretty miraculous. I think my fat intake is adequate but now I can see I probably could use a bit more protein as I workout pretty vigorously. I`m going to increase my seed intake (hemp, chia, sunflower) with about one once of styrian pumpkin seeds and maybe a few more tablespoons of beans and lentils. I`m so happy I discovered Dr. Fuhrman when I did. He is my number one mentor when it comes to Nutrition. I question nothing he teaches in all his books. All backed by studies!

[@annemccarron2281]

Almost all eating plans can be "backed up by studies," however, are the studies valid? "Backed up by studies," virtually means nothing.

I am a 2x kidney transplant patient and had a thyroidectomy last September. I was advised not to be vegan because I need protein and fat. So I started eating meat. Well I went back to vegan. My kidney function all the way around is better. Working on thyroid but I have l learned is to up my plant protein. I feel much better.

Im a homeless 62 year old veteran man in san diego. I live off of 300 dollars a month. So I can't eat well, and the food that nice people give homeless people is mostly unhealthy and processed carbs. I buy a tub of protein powder a month. I buy almonds and dry roasted peanuts. I buy sardines from dollartree. String cheese, beefjerky, cheap bologna from Walmart and peanut butter. At this moment 25th of April i ran out of protein and another homeless man made me a bread and egg sandwich. I say all this lead in, to point out the best protien is the one you can afford and eat. Not everyone has the ability to choose meat, organic or plant based protein. In my humble opinion, it's not important which you eat or how much you eat ( eat as much protien as you can), it's important that you exercise every day, to either enhance the food choices you made yesterday or to mitigate the food choices you made. Here's my experience. I sat in my car with depression for 3 years, 23 hours a day. I hurt all over and couldn't walk half a block. 9 months later, and starting with 5lb dumbbells, I can now deadlift and squat 400lbs, ride an exercise bike for 20 minutes, and do yoga for 45 minutes. I go to the gym daily, even if sick. I still hate life, but at least im healthy and depressed 😂. I eat terribly unfortunately. It is what it is. If you exercise daily, making better food choices will follow. If a human takes all that energy and effort to workout daily, then the mind won't let a person waste all that effort, and you'll start eating better. (CONSISTENCY in a little daily weight training is the secret to better health, longevity And Quality of life. Bones, mind and organs will benefit from just a little a day, regardless of what you're currently eating.) This is just my experience and my opinion. Also, I'm always complimenting couples, and family members that workout in the gym. I want to compliment you two for being a great example of family. Be blessed, choose happiness, and do some weight training daily, Leo from San Diego. Ps my cholesterol , blood pressure has gone down. ✌️ Edit 27:41 im watching the rest of the video and it sounds as if you have an agenda or bias. Bodybuilders in 2024 natural or guys who take steroids, watch their diet very carefully. Like your father, science based nutrition is their life. So to say that they eat unhealthy and don't care about " vitamin C" for example is not logical. They micro manage every aspect of their lives. Not always healthy mentally. If you truly want to understand others, watch their body of videos and watch many different natural Bodybuilders videos. Like you said in the beginning, people can cherry pick data. Also, in the study 29:00 did it say how many had preexisting conditions who died earlier from meat diets and how many didn't have preexisting conditions to diabetes and cancer and if those people died earlier due to meat consumption. I think it's good for us viewers that you give a reference to studies mentioned, in the video description so that we can look things up. But I think Dr. You look great and good on you for helping others. 😊 Be blessed 😊

Each body is different so for me I eat different fruits , boiled egg, brown bread, a glass of cocoa with green tea, lemon and ginger or curcumin, for my lunch and dinner lots of vegetables, a slice of skinless chicken or wild fish, 3/4 cup of brown rice. Regular 30 min of jogging morning and afternoon a day 3 times a week, an hour of work out in body muscle 3 times a week and 1 day rest (Sunday). I only eat organic (fruits, vegetables, egg), and whole wheat bread. My snack is roasted organic peanuts. Good sleep, stress management, organic soap, shampoo, conditioner, tooth paste. I don't eat processed foods, I don't used any non organic products. It's my own body so I only take what I think and feel good to my body.the only way we know if the life style we had is 😢effective for longevity if we reach 90, 100 or more. So what ever we read,see and hear in KZbin or any source it's all inconclusive. And we cannot depend on it.

I tried the carnivore diet for 7 days. I thought I was going to die. I felt so ill, and I literally felt like this is an eating disorder. I stopped and now I've gone in the other direction, and I'm now getting into more plant focused diet. I fully believe the carnivore diet, is disordered eating.

@@Denidrakes69 He does not advocate it at all. I have been following him for years. He believes that if it helps you follow a better diet than eat a little. It is better to have more plants and nuts and seeds then to not have them at all. Eating Chicken and beans and greens is better than eating just chicken and pasta for example. The meat needs to be a "side" so to speak not the main part of the meal. His website, for example, has recipes that include meat but only in small amounts.

[@SWLion26]

Although I am not vegan, most of my calories come from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds. I do appreciate your perspective and agree with the idea that fat is not a bogeyman; I’m typically between 15 to 20% of daily calories from fat. I think the key is to get most of your calories from either unprocessed or minimally processed foods. Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.

I have a blast following a WFPB dietary pattern (as a 44 YO male who has been obese a couple times in life...I'm now 5'7, 118 lbs with a 28 inch jean size and nicely visible abs for the first time in my life...also great cholesterol and average blood pressure readings (both have been too high at my most obese), and a ton of energy throughout the day). Following a regular mix of whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, tubers and mushrooms, I land consistently in a "carb/fat/protein" ratio of aprx 60/20/20 on a total caloric intake of a little over 2,000/day (I don't count calories, but once in a while I plug data into Cronometer for entertainment), with a total protein around 90g and fiber from 70g-80g. My body responds great to this type of nourishment. To those out there skeptical, I encourage you wholeheartedly to dive in 100% for a few weeks and see if you feel notably better (if you're medicated up, inform your doctor first...some quick responses to dietary changes may require med adjustments on the fly). Final note...try not to undereat. This is a dietary pattern that seems to me to naturally shed bodyfat while leading to a high level of satiation, but only when you craft your meals with balance (i.e. no 100% kale salads for an entire meal). Good luck!

[@keto-rl2ce]

This is inspiring for me. Have you had a DEXA or InBody body comp done? What is your lean muscle mass & body fat %?

[@elsmooth12]

@@keto-rl2ce Thanks for the kind words! Haven't done a body composition test of any kind yet...to be honest my aesthetic improvements were less my focus, and rather a natural byproduct of my work to craft an eating pattern that helped me to feel great and get my blood pressure and total cholesterol in a better place. If I had to visually estimate (crude, I know) based upon photos I've looked up, I'd say I'm somewhere between 10% and 15%. It would be interesting to know...I'd be super curious from a DEXA scan to learn what my visceral body fat amount is.

@@keto-rl2ce Wholehearted agree! I'm pretty comfortable believing that there's a sweet spot for most people that exists at the intersection between dietary pattern, body comp, and fitness level that will lead to a solid health span. It probably requires some adjustments to diet and exercise over time, but I imagine the best health outcomes will occur somewhere between the extremes of both. Not that fit, yet...but working on it! 🙂 Hope you're having success on your health journey!

I am Carol Burgess and live in Arkansas. We, my husband and I are in our late 50’s. My husband had a triple bypass and lost all his muscle and fat. He is now a skeleton and looking like he can’t hold up his own lack of weight. The doctors put him on a plant-based diet, and he is trying. The big problem is he needs fat. He does a cardio workout every other two days and uses some weights with it. I believe that is what saved him, he worked out his whole life, even the doctor said he had a strong heart. He needs to stay away from oils, processed foods. How can I get some weight on him with healthy foods? Thank you so much, I am at a loss. I have your books. Carol Burgess

Thank you for this great streamlined information, Dr. Fuhrman! I have just started following your program, after 5 1/2 years on Keto/Carnivore. Those diets were good for the first 2 years, I lost a lot of weight, but then started gaining about 1 1/2 years ago, and couldn't lose weight, no matter how little I ate. Was down to 100 lbs at one point, and am 123 now. Am 5' 3", and small boned, and would like to get back to 110. I was also feeling very unwell, and knew I needed to make a change. I was plant based before starting those diets, so it isnt too hard to go back to those habits. Three days in, now, and already feeling much better.

You can still go into ketosis without being a meat eater, so yes ketosis shows short term health benefits so these studies on carnivore are very miss leading. If you practice a fasting protocol along with nutritarian diet you will have a more powerful benefit on your health. Ketosis resets the cells, cleans them out and fasting gives your digestive system a break. Problem is fasting is very difficult to do since most peoples lives revolve around eating and food.

30g is the minimum protein and the body can absolutely use more than that. 30g minimum is because it will breakdown into 2.5g - 3g of leucine which stimulates muscle protein synthesis. Getting less protein than that in a meal is almost a waste

You shouldn’t have to meticulously count macros. I eat oatmeal, walnuts, olive oil, salads, tofu, sweet potatoes, beans, etc. A WFPB diet will naturally get you there.

[@audither]

I have a specific comment about plant-based doctors and those professionals in the plant based eating world. Each professional on its own merit is very clear about what we should eat and what we shouldn’t eat, but what is not clear, concise, and extremely important is that when you wrap all the professionals together, there are mixed messages and too many schools of thought. I would like to recommend that all these professionals get together under one umbrella and say the same thing even if some agreements have to be made one way or another.. For example the Atkins diet we all know exactly what that means. The South Beach diet we all know exactly what that means. That grapefruit diet, we all know what that means. so why can’t there be a plant-based diet or give it some other name so we all know, without a doubt , exactly what that means.

[@StanDupp6371]

There is no such thing as a plant based doctor as that is not an accredited term by anything. You should only get diet advice from a real Ph.D in nutritional biochemistry with awards and honors and or a Nobel Prize with a long term track record of being right for humankind such as Roger J. Williams, Fred Kummerow, George H. Whipple, William Parry Murphy, Edward Adelbert Doisy, Frederick Gowland Hopkins, all 6 would say that single ingredient meat, poultry, fish and eggs are good for you in moderation and that dairy is ok in small amounts if you like it and are not allergic to it but a human is an omnivore and they should still consume a balanced diet in the 4 basic food groups.

[@EricaMorgan]

I mean we all know that plant based diet means not eating animal products. It’s just macros and types of plants you should be eating that can differ between doctors. I think all the plant based diets can be healthy and lead to a healthy relatively long life. Dr. Fuhrman is very passionate about researching the studies regarding longevity and avoiding disease so if that’s what you’re looking for I think his diet is great to follow. Dr. Michael Greger says the same stuff Dr. Fuhrman does. There are others that say mostly the same things with one or two differences, like whether we should eat overt fats and how much of our diet should be starch. But overall the message is whole plants, lots of carbohydrates from whole plants, avoid the sugar and processed food, eat clean plant protein. Some will say avoid overt fats during weight loss but I think some nuts and seeds are necessary.

[@julioandresgomez3201]

Some doctor says "carbs, the dose is the poison". Others don't say it that clear cut but imply that any fat is poison. Eat everything in moderation stands still.

Chlorella power contains B12. Two tea spoons should cover the daily need. Chlorella is a fresh water algae.

I try to follow a whole food nutritarian diet but I never can find this answer about protein. Everyone seems to agree that you should have less protein if you have kidney disease. I have stage 3 kidney disease and I am 72 years old.

[@joycepereira4360]

Adding to my comment.. so how much protein should I have

[@wterryc]

Ask anyone what tells you that it is bad for your kidneys to provide the study that proves this.

[@dj.h7424]

@@joycepereira4360that’s a tough question, difficult balance to strike. My layman’s instinct would be to keep under 1g protein per kg of your lean body mass plus some weight bearing exercise if you can.. but however much protein you have per day (again just my instinct or what I’d try), keep it a pretty simple to digest source like tofu or blended pulses, and maybe consult with a doc like Joel, or Dr Greger, or a local doc or nutritionist who knows about plant-based eating and your condition. Hope you are doing ok and found some good professional advice, would be interested to know how it’s going?

Do egg whites harm cilia in the intestines the same way other forms animal products do?

I like a primarily a plant based diet, but feel more energetic with a few eggs thrown in the mix.

What about vegetables with histamine like tomatoes.

[@Battery-kf4vu]

I like the fact that you are not like the other vegan fanatics, you're more practical. What about C:15? Butter has the highest concentration of it. Would it be worth it to add about 5g of fermented organic butter? It would also provide some butyrate, some CLA, and good bacteria. Perhaps it could be taken in the evening with just vegetables, since saturated fats have a tendency to increase insulin resistance, meaning it might be better not take it with a high carb meal. The fat in the butter would also help absorb the carotenoids, the lycopene, etc from the vegetables.

Are those nuts and seeds you are eating raw, steamed, dry roasted and at what temperature and for how long, or oil roasted and at what temperature and for how long? That's a lot to worry about if you don't know the science or what you are doing.

[@karenbutrick4449]

Raw unsalted. Emphasize walnuts, ground flaxseed, hemp seeds and chia seeds for omega 3s.

Hello. I am 56 years old and two years ago I had two cardiac stents put in. I had been vegan for five years prior to that, but not completely clean diet. I am 5‘4“ tall and weigh 122 pounds. Since my stents I have adapted my lifestyle to the nutritarian way of life. With my stents do I still have a shot at longevity?

I believe your heart disease is reversed by this type of diet. Dr F wrote a good book called the end of heart disease. He explains there.

Generally in these podcasts, many people just lump all carbohydrates together. They need to be broken broken apart and stressed. Whole Vegetables should not be lumped in with processed vegetables.

Can you or have you done a video on oxylates in vegetables, or they glysophate in soy or other fruits, veggies, grains, as well as the bad stuff in whole nuts that is not good for you.

Why doesn't Dr Fuhrman promote eating wholegrains, oats, brown rice, couscous, quinoa, potatoes?

[@HomeschoolVoices]

He does. Not so much brown rice because of arsenic, but he tells you to eat about 1/2-1 c. Whole grains a day

[@janinedance102]

What about what they say about eating a Low carb diet is best at preventing Alzheimer’s?

[@dj.h7424]

I don’t think so; most of the science especially concerning dementia (and heart disease and diabetes) implicates saturated fats; it’s those that caused the initial problems that can cause issues with clogging up of cells and blood vessels. So, no quick fixes really, keto (low carb) is like a band aid, it’s better to go wfpb or nutritarian with a calorie deficit (perhaps a few hundred calories) until you gradually come to your ideal weight. Unfortunately the low carb and carnivore crowd have a lot of traction because of the quick weight loss that can be achieved, where people say they feel great because they do, short to medium term. Play the long game for longevity!

I mean normally the carnivore people are moving from tons of chips and processed foods and candies and ice cream and stuff. Of course they feel better at first. But let's see your heart health after 20 years.
