Bret Weinstein points out that Vitamin D is stored in body fat (ancestrally, during summers where food and sunlight are relatively plentiful, to be released back into the body in winters when food and sunlight are less so.) It is generally known / accepted that salt regulates the body's tendency to retain water. Given both these facts, is it possible that there are chemicals that can be stored in body fat, which cause more body fat to be retained (either chemically, or through behavior those chemicals tend to produce?) These chemicals might be environmental toxins that are slow for the body to get rid of for whatever reason, and could even explain why weight loss seems to be more unpleasant for some than for others. I'm envisioning taking biopsies from obese and non-obese people in various areas, and running them through a mass spectrometer or similar to find traces of specific chemicals that are likely candidates, or just simply take a brute-force inventory of what you find there, and work from there.

Been watching Stan Efferdings stuff for years and at back when he had Mark Bell training him to break world records. I’ve always admired how he advanced himself in his career first (telecommunications and real estate) then used his income to fuel his pursuit for his IFBB pro card and breaking powerlifting records in his 40’s. That’s a patient man. Respect 🫡

Waking chills you out, not eating too much at once makes you feel less groggy. I like how Stan very slightly and politely pointed out that that’s nothing to do with eye movement or fasting.

[@tropiq]

years ago i heard stan say "the best diet is the one you'll follow" and it was a much needed voice of reason in a sea of confusing signals

[@pricklycatsss]

The key for me is having a lot of fruits and vegetables with every meal because they’re so low calorie dense and make me feel full 24/7. I’m basically never hungry and went from 220lbs down to 170 in about a year and a half. I barely changed anything I still eat like a pig I just eat foods with less calories.

[@pricklycatsss]

Carrots, brussel sprouts, beans, berries, apples, oranges, etc. single-handedly saved me from obesity lmao

[@drdamonmccune]

Excellent episode, Chris! Thank you for having Stan on. We appreciate the opportunity to share The Vertical Diet with your audience and hope that they can find the information useful.

[@goldennuggetinfo8468]

For anyone first seeing Stan, this guy is the best I’ve come across when it comes to science backed literature, from a nutrition standpoint.

[@imkindofabigdeal4308]

Was obese but not morbidly. Cut nearly all added sugar. Cut nearly all processed foods (goes along with the sugar). Cut seed oils (also easy when you cut processed food). Added natural fats including grass-finished beef. Worked in some sensible supplements. Moderate use of intermittent fasting. Down by 45lbs since April without losing any muscle mass. Not hungry anymore...this has been very easy.

[@shadyyogainstructor932]

Hey fam, do you have a guide or something comprehensive I can follow? Also how would I go about sweetening my coffee in the morning without processed sugar? Thanks

[@RogueCylon]

I love eating natural foods, especially meat. I had been obese because of doctors telling me to be low fat. Followed them strictly as I came from the UK lean, but eating butter and full fat milk. After 18 months of strict low fat, I developed acid reflux, diarrhea, needed to also go on statins, and after five more years developed blood clots. Since going off processed food, eating healthy fats and protein, I now need no meds, and feel amazing. Have not needed blood thinners in two years, despite the leading hematologist telling me I’d be on them for life.

This is my first time virtually meeting Stan. He has a really lovely nature about him that is remarkably comforting. As somebody who has spent a LOT of time on the nutrition/diet/fitness side of many different apps, and who struggles with shame quite a bit, I find the way he explains things and his cadence and approach to be so patient and kind. I recently had my dad tell me that he is much more this way at work than he was at home and I can certainly confirm. It’s left me hoping that Stan is this way throughout his life as well. Really lovely chat, fellas. Appreciate you both 🤙🏼

[@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife]

Sodium changed my life. Thank you, Stan!! You have helped me for many years now. Listen up, people!! Stan knows his stuff. He doesn’t sell protein powder or pre workouts. He believes in food, not quick fixes. Sleep, eat and train. And salt will change your life also.

[@toxichammertoe8696]

What do you mean salt will change your life?

[@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife]

@@toxichammertoe8696 I had awful headaches after exercising. It turns out when you “clean eat” your body tends to lack the salt you normally get from processed foods. Salt is essential for your body for workouts and for some reason it’s the only thing that cured my headaches. I can’t explain why but I’m glad he mentioned it in the earlier seminars he did. As Stan says, people carry around their water jugs in the gym, but they really also need salt. Helps with the workouts for a lot of people also. His vertical diet is legit. It works for a lot of people when dieting or trying to gain muscle. I adapt a lot of it into my life. You can check out the “Thor power gym Stan Efferding” lecture on KZbin that outlines a lot of what he promotes. I can’t explain all of why salt works, but if you also go back to early Thomas Delauer videos he also says salt as a pre workout is great and I’ve been salting my pre workout for years now. I’m also natural so I get exhausted easy when on a diet at 42 years old so I need all the maximizing I can get these days.

[@wtice4632]

How did sodium help?

[@greatvaluesup3rboy736]

Sodium is necessary as you become more active. When consuming more water and less other drinks you can easily flush everything in your system out. Sodium sparring throughout the day with foods and really before and during a workout can help with better workouts. If you look at most pre workouts, stim or non-stim they usually have some sodium, potassium in them. When you are working really hard in the gym or during a run you can sometimes see the salt dried up on your shirt. This is also the reason many “sports” drinks contain electrolytes and sodium. You burn through a lot when going hard in training.

[@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife]

@@greatvaluesup3rboy736 very well said. All those things for sure. It’s surprising how little people focus on recovery in the gym during workouts. I’ve been trying to use Milos Sarcev and John Meadows intra workout EAAs and carbs and it does also make a difference along with sodium

[@anthonymyers4516]

I am a younger epileptic and it's hard to find a dietician who's willing to talk to/with me about finding a diet for me*. I've tried two dieticians, and none seem to care about individual science. It's important to me when I have a disease that can be maintained/controlled/aided with diet. I don't have as many episodes a year as the avg epileptic, and we're unclear on why they even begin. From allergies to diets, it's hard to personally get recommended and actually get appointments from both my neurologists and my primary, when the topic is "trying to aid my epilepsy". It's just, "take these meds, we will up them if you have another". Overall I'm stuck trying to make correlations from KZbin videos, reddit posts and pubmed, as if it's my job. Grateful for all the content. But sheesh, Healthcare is a joke lol

[@yashancientbeast]

In India, we use 'Kachchi Ghani' oils. Meaning cold pressed oils. Most of the Indian households use this for cooking daily meals. And the ones that Stan is talking about, are used occasionally because it has better taste. It's quite interesting how two cultures use totally different oils and one has to talk about it very seriously because of bad food habits but one is using those oils since centuries if not thousands of years. Although almost every food made in restaurants here is made with 'refined oils', same as the ones we use in our houses on special occasions, just because of taste. In India, we also use a lot of ghee (clarified butter), which has immense health benefits & it's also the one I use on special occasions only. It's better than any seed oil but not that great for cooking vegetables. Great for cooking Dal.

Seed oils are literally in everything because they are cheap and they are used as emulsifiers. People don’t realize a lot of creamers used for coffee are mostly vegetable oil. Using lactose free milk or actual cream is much more satisfying without the unnecessary oil. About two months ago I cut processed foods significantly. I stopped using the coffee creamer and went with lactose free milk. I started making my own soups, salad dressing and sauces. I started working out 3 days a week focusing mainly on strength training. I’ve dropped 10 lbs and I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I have more energy than ever. I’m less puffy in the morning and I can wear my wedding ring again. I’m only upset I didn’t do this earlier.

[@SchmidtyFilms]

#1 my digestion is better without seed oils, but I also found my blood sugar goes crazy if I have seed oils. My diet would be 95% the same but swap one ingredient or have something cooked in a seed oil and my insulin/blood sugar will go crazy and I'll suddenly get really low blood sugar and I'll feel like I'm about to pass out and need food immediately. They sneak into people's diets too. I was buying pumpkin seeds to use in my breakfast shake but found out the pumpkin seeds were roasted in canola oil. Or I'd use a Finnish mustard and I translated the ingredients and that had canola oil.

I havent eaten for more than 2 days theres no food in me and whatever it is that comes out of me has no business being inside of a living human being. It doesnt seem dietary its not like it was ever food. Up until just now I had never questioned that it was autophagy dead cells and toxins and things my body was storing that a process it didn't normally have access to was working to get rid of. Its predictable for me happens everytime. Whatever it is is one hell of a special delivery. Whatever the fuck that was I dont want to be 20 feet from it, Im happy not knowing, Im just ....

People are over-stressed, under-slept, overly sedentary and depressed. We then surround these same individuals with hyper palatable foods and expect people to control themselves with their food intake. Many are using these foods like a drug to sustain a crazy unhealthy lifestyle overall. Things go far deeper than just people needing to control their intake. We need a restructuring of the average persons lifestyle and the overall culture at large.

Stan is such an awesome dude to follow and look up too

[@outsiderdf]

After starting to count calories for the last year, and having conversations with family members, it's pretty clear that the amount fat in food is the enemy, or let's say the culprit. You do need fat in your diet, but we are overconsuming. People don't know that a gram of fat has over double the energy as a gram of protein or carbohydrate. And we tend to underestimate the amount of fat we are using to prepare food which leads to underestimating calories. I served myself a plate for Easter, and asked my mom to gauge or guess how many calories are on the plate, she was off by 50% and was shocked because the amount of food wasn't that much. But on the plate was a creamy pasta and potato salad, both of which use cream and mayonnaise which are almost pure fat.

The production value on these videos is amazing! And I LOVE how the locations are so random! Like why is this set in a random woodwork workshop? Probs because it’s cool and different!?!?

If we want to talk psychology and its impact on this. I am currently on a health a fitness journey and I think intent is very important. My goal is not to lose a number of weight my goal is to never be fat ever again in my life. Period. For me it’s a full lifestyle change. But it’s working and I am doing it because I want to. I want this to happen. I am driven and motivated because of my goal. If I didn’t want to and wasn’t interested I don’t think I’d have been able to make these lifestyle changes. Anytime I feel like something that won’t benefit my goal I tell myself no, not happening.

Regarding blue zones. The Mediterranean diet is not vegetarian but consumption of meat in the original diet was limited, simply due to the fact that meat was expensive. But it does contain chicken and lots of fish and seafood as well as lots of fruits, veggies, dairy (but no butter) and raw olive oil. As to having the ages wrong, in my experience (and I come from a country that has one of the Netflix blue zones) they tend to underestimate them not overestimate them.

Best guest in a while!!!!

Movement, walking etc helps also because it helps you detox via your lymphatic system

Everything Stan says is accurate and sound advice, but it's important to note most every athlete or fitness influencer (including both men here) are on vitamin T.

Two hours, and you didn't talk about PEDs, his past use of gear, or his TRT. None of that is anything to hide or be ashamed of. Stan a big enough man to talk about all of them.

[@davecom3]

Clearly not. A lot or PED users like to think they're genetically gifted or just worked harder. We don't need to hear or see them on YT imo. Naturals need advice from naturals as recovery, regimen, diet etc all have to be far stricter and controlled.

[@Joseph1NJ]

@@davecom3 You of course have a point, except that he said he started medically supervised TRT when he was very young because he was hypogonadal.

[@12345charliebrown]

An interesting take on current diets and fads. He didn't belittle any side. A nice take on his own ideas

[@Micha-uy9xd]

Wow. Didn't know that guy. At first I thought: come on, what is this guy an expert on with his slightly red face. But WOW! Super competent. Amazing. Love him already.

One thing that i hate about the ‘Red Meat Studies’ is that they don’t really talk about people whom eat loads of lam and steaks, with maybe some eggs, bacon and a small amount of veggies. Turns out if you eat that, most people will feel way better and be way healthier. However, the ‘Red Meat Studies’ take into account people eating a lot of red meat from junk food, and otherwise eat pretty unhealthy. Double bacon cheesburger from a grill, come home and snack on chips before eating more meat and fat. The studies needs to distinguish between eating red meat in a healthy or unhealthy way. Lumping people whom eat 4 eggs and a steak a day. With people whom eat 3 double cheese burgers from mcdonalds is not good science… Although all can be classified as ‘High red meat consumption consumers’ I’m no expert, but if you think i’m wrong. Try it, every body responds to foods differently. But most bodies will be the healthiest they can be with high fat and protein consumption with next to 0 carbs or fiber. Try this. 1-2 meals per day. Total consumption can be for example 5 eggs, some cheese, 500g of meat and maybe add some tomatoes, onions and salad. Have 80-95% of your calories in Fat/Protein. And btw, use a lot of butter. You can make a lot of different meals with that to never go unsatisfied. If you get the keto-flu, try to bear it. It usually means you have had a way to big of transition when it comes to carbs being the primary energy source, to now fat. Ease your way in. Calculate how many calories a day comes from animal fat/protein. And how many comes from carbs. Maybe the ratio is 20/80, then flipping that 180* will make your body adjust in a harsher way than 50/50 -> 80/20. You honestly should try it if you like to experiment with diets. Because this isn’t a diet. It’s more a lifestyle. You don’t need to stop yourself from eating. You eat until your full. However, 1kg of steak will make you really full on about 1200 calories. You might not need to eat the next day even. But that’s an extreme example. Eat 5-6 eggs ~480 kcal, eat 500g of lamb, pork, beef. ~1100 kcal depending on how fatty the meat is. And use some butter and cheese. You’ll hit easily between 1500-2500 kcal, whilst it tastes amazing, and you will be completely full. No need to snack.

I am current living proof that eating less and exercising more can and does work. I haven’t done any fancy diet. I just lowered the overall quantity of my meals and increased dramatically the amount of exercise I do. For me it is working exactly as people say it should. I lose about 1-2kg a week. I should emphasise that my body does not like high fats. Makes me feel sick. If a person eating nothing but McDonald’s swaps to a controlled diet they will have results, doesn’t matter what diet just a more healthy, stricter portioned diet, take your pick in preference they will lose weight. It’s not the diet that is magic it is what the diet is doing which is removing the mass quantities of things your body will store as fat.

Please feature Terry Crews, Anthony Joshua, Obi Obadike and Hollywood actor Morris Chestnut. I believe these men would have insightful ideas to share as well. Thank you beforehand

High protein, moderate fat, zero sugar, and trace carbs from vegetables etc has been my ticket.

[@Maschenbro]

I make a monster mash as well. Low FODMAP mixture. I create a gravy with bone broth sweet potato and tomato. Puree that into a nice gravy. Then some red meat bell peppers, zuchini and a few yellow potatoes. All in a big instant pot

[@garrettd.6215]

This really was incredible.

One of the key aspects of intermittent fasting is that it helps people lose weight that are insulin resistant. You could eat 6 meals a day, under 1850, exercise and not lose a lb of body fat. Often this is down to insulin resistance from the multiple meals. Other than that, it’s pretty subjective. But for people insulin resistant, it’s the way forward.
