Your biggest diet mistake (American nutritionist in Singapore POV)

[@MaxChernov]

Eating for health or for pleasure?

[@Shortleft_Travels]

90% for health, and 10% for pleasure. Everything in moderation.

[@meatheadforlife]

Health ❤❤ Lower cholesterol levels at older age shows higher mortality rate FYI

[@gshrdy5415]

I am 65, I eat for pleasure, basically to reduce stress, I get stressed fast, so 90% for pleasure, but I cook vegetables with lots of Turmeric, mustard seeds, cumin, hot pepper every single day.

[@longyang888]

@@meatheadforlife Why there are still so many "Health guru" fear of high cholesterol even many recent research show otherwise?

[@dewinmoonl]

why not both? there's no reason why healthy food has to taste bad

[@markshen3280]

Max, eating fresh fruits 🥝🍑🍒🫐🍈🍌🍉🍇🍓🍊🍐🍎🍏alone is much better than drinking fresh juice 🧃. Many of the ‘fresh’ fruit juices bought from supermarkets have additives, colouring, extra sugar, but even if you make your fresh fruit juice, it’s a waste of so much more vitamins that sit in the food processor/grinder which end up being washed off. So,might as well eat fresh fruits. Both FLAX SEEDS and CHIA SEEDS are full of vitamins, antioxidants,and great source of fibre, too.

[@cats.addict6457]

Very good interview Max... your guest is interesting and pleasant to listen to... Thanks

[@markshen3280]

Max, good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. HAPPY NEW 2025 YEAR to you and your family. Knowing what to eat to maintain a healthy diet and exercising is crucial in our lives . May your New Year be joyful, .,rich in experiences with new places and people you meet . All the best to you and your family this year for a peaceful, prosperous and fulfilling New Year.

Hello Max from Toronto! Simply love your videos and Singapore is one of my favourite places on Earth:)))). I love the tips Jieun provides:). Would you be able to share her information. I enjoy her approach, ideas and suggestions provided:). Thanks and if I come to Singapore later this year for the Singapore Tech Week I’ll most definitely let you know:). Cheers, Fabiano

[@blahburp]

I'm drinking my fourth cup of coffee today while watching this.

[@johnng3939]

If you eat at 4:30pm, by 10pm you feel hungry. My recent blood test shows my cholesterol is high, HbA1c is high (diabetic). My blood pressure is also high. I am trying to eat less carbs i.e rice and have only one meal per day. Have to stop drinking soft drinks. 19:50 Blending the vegetable or fruit into juice destroy/breakdown the fiber. Is better to just eat them whole with the fiber intact. When you drink orange juice, it will cause a spike in blood glucose as there is no intact fiber to slow down the absorption of the fructose into your body.

[@MaxChernov]

Orange juice is a big no-no for sure, yes. You don't blend fruits, only veggies.

[@junkeefe6074]

Another amazing video, Max!! Do we eat to live or eat to live? 🙈 Part III coming soon? Haha As a foodie myself, it's hard not to eat good food!!! XD Cheers to a healthier us in 2025!!

[@shukailu6731]

Great video!!

[@WeAretheWorld89]

No body talk about how they use plastic containers to contain hot food or drink, or put rice in plastic to cook rice cake.

[@HongYuntan]

a caveat for this is that if you remove the pulp from your juice, you essentially remove most of the fibre and the end product is not healthy. it would've been nice if she mentioned that as a disclaimer

[@durian5233]

Thanks for the video. The biggest health challenge facing Singaporeans could be diabetes. Any one here works in the health industry, appreciate your comment.

[@dawnho7744]

I think some points she made were good but things like caffeine in foods that we take on a regular basis to keep us going that we should relook in a different light, I take it with a pinch of salt. What about other foods like tea? I agree that highly developed countries tend to eat more ultra-processed foods but the reason being many people don't have the luxury of time. Perhaps the key to eating for everyone in cities like ours is to strike a balance in between vs. going all out for a 100% nutritional diet.

[@xiaochaoo]

With all due respect I think her country needs nutrition lessons more than we do.

[@deadsick95]

At 26:49, she is a bit misinformed. The QUARTER-life of caffeine is 12 hours, NOT the half-life. Still good to be mindful of caffeine consumption though, overall I agree with Jieun!

Hi Max, have you ever interviewed any Pakistani expat in Singapore?

[@mewletter]

Still, I read from another nutritionist that eating fruit is better than drinking fruit juice since juice could cause sugar spike. And Chia seeds needed to be hydrated before consuming. So whom to listen?

[@barblee9615]

Yes, eating fruit is better than drinking fruit juice. Fruit contains fiber which helps to buffer the rise in blood sugar. Whereas fruit juice has fiber being removed, so no buffer, and you get the blood sugar spike Moreover, you need, maybe 6 to 7 oranges to make a glass of orange juice. Imagine the amount of spike in your BS. A lot, isn't it ? I think we are usually satisfied with eating 1 orange, fiber and all. Hope this helps. 🙂

[@SallyCotton-s8w]

She mentioned Green Juice which probably contains mainly veg but not fruits. Hence, not fructose.

[@zinknot]

I don't know about the chia seeds, but listen to everyone and do your own research and decide. It's probably true that eating fruit is safer than drinking it because you can drink it a lot faster. But I think the healthiest way is the way that gets you to consume more fruit. Which for me is definitely in juices and smoothies. If worried about sugar spikes, just drink it more slowly. A little at a time. Not a big deal.

[@christine8203]

@@barblee9615I think she was meaning blending your fruits / vegs (fibres are not separated)…as opposed to ‘juicing’ your fruits /vegs which is pure extraction of the juice from the fruit.

[@humanshieldz]

I think the fact that our genetics is so different for individuals that trying to eat what's "right" is so difficult. I think as long as we don't consume something specific excessively like alcohol for example, we should live to eat rather than eat to live.

[@MaxChernov]

Agree, it depends on your individual profile and genetics. However, there are obvious common sense goods and bads in the diet.

[@Kimmilloyd7581]

Love this interview. As much as sg seems to a developed country but unhealthy foods like vegetables oils and ultra processed foods are getting out of control! Why bother fighting the losing battle with chronic illnesses if we allow these foods!

[@ChrisLowe777]

The half life of caffeine is not 12 hours as she says, which unfortunately undermines her argument in this regard somewhat. Various figures are usually quoted, but it is more in the region of 5-7 hours.

[@Equ1n0x88]

14:20 I really like these "imagine if everyone" solutions. They are both stupid and impractical. She hasn't given any practical advice, as in an actual thing you can do "go to this supermarket, buy X". Even the solutions she gave, she herself said don't work for people with kids. Guess we just have to stop having kids to live healthy.

[@MaxChernov]

I'll try not be that stupid next time, sorry!

Alcohol is alcohol. Just don’t drink any. Don’t smoke. Have your local food but keep within 1500 calories per day. Believe in science and take your HBP, glucose and cholesterol medication from your polyclinics and go for blood tests twice a year. You’ll be fine. Best advice from local nutritionist.
