damn...i dont know what the fuck to eat anymore

[@ImmortalCreature]

Fruits, vegetables, roots/potatoes, herbs, blossoms. Best is to grow your own or find them in nature. A certain amount of fat is essential, i think nuts are ok if you are not allergic or maybe seeds, for example flaxseeds (they have the essential omega fat). For protein (lysine) you may eat some legumes. Legumes have some anti-nutrients, if prepared right (sprouting/fermenting and/or cooking) they should be good. Grains are also better fermented, you may eat sourdough-bread. If you have enough money, prefer organic - probably less bad stuff for you and environment or find real food in nature. If you look at other species, what do they find in nature? For sure not much crazy stuff; refined sugar, oil, icecream, deep-fried fast-food etc is not growing on trees.

@@daleg5380 well (refined carbs are particularly bad) regardless, carbs raise the amount of inflammation in the body and they feed the bad microbiome in the gut. There is no plant source that will give you epa or dha, ala has to be converted to epa and then dha but it is done at a very small rate. Grains and beans can not be digested raw, raw rice, lentils and such will explode your stomach. I tried the vegan diet and all those grains (cooked) as I was eating a lot of them burned in my stomach. I haven't dug into it too much but yeah white meat is most likely not very digestible raw, but red meat is very good when eaten raw, we just need to cook the exterior part as it may have been infected during transportation, but if you were to kill a wild cow or mutton, you could eat it fresh and raw, same for fish. Vegetables are not a source of energy, they have minimal calories and if you give them to kid he spits them out because it's not natural to eat, we weren’t designed to eat them or else we would enjoy them such as every animal enjoys their food. We do have a sweet tooth, therefore it is likely we ate fruits, but that is the only plant out of all of them. You argue that our long intestine doesn't resemble the one of carnivores, which is true but it doesn't cause any problem when digesting meat. And our large intestine is too small to digest high amounts of fiber, which is why on a vegan diet you release alot of gas. Humans are allergic to all sorts of plants, if it is what we should be consuming why do so many of us react so badly to them ?

This video is very important, I was vegetarian since the age of 12 then went raw vegan. I incorporated efa smoothies with organic, cold pressed, virgin coconut oil. Within three months, my blood tests for the first time, came back with high cholesterol. My doctor's first question after I explained my healthy eating habits, was, "what kind of oils are you using?" I was shocked when she told me the coconut oil was not healthy but was the culprit, and before ppl start saying I am bashing it, or veganism, or that I must have been ingesting a lot, I will stop you right there. I had 1-2 tsp every 2-3 days in a smoothie. Please, be careful with what you put in your body. Coconut oil is now a treat item in my baked goods, as a butter replacement, but it sits on my shelf otherwise. Oh, and doctor says humans should be having max 1 tbsp of oil per day, only unheated olive oil or use avocado oil for cooking. God bless & stay healthy.

[@Ryalnotch]

How much and what kind of oil? How often?

[@Gee-xb7rt]

***** i use two different evoos. I do basic oil & vinegar for salad dressing, but don't use a lot. A quality evoo is pretty punchy, you will naturally restrict using too much of it, like a drizzle on salad is more than enough. I do a low heat sautee with the cheaper evoo with just a little in the bottom of a pan to get veggies what the rest of the world calls "California style" , its basically just a sear on the outside that brings up the color and the veggies stay crisp. If I am doing stuff that soaks up a lot of oil i take that into account, you can soak prepped eggplant in salted water for about 4 hrs and it doesn't soak up so much oil, with mushrooms start with some water and add extra til they eventually release their own liquid, you really don't need oil for mushrooms, just let them simmer in their own liquid. Learning to braise helps a lot, instead of just a pan fry you add some liquid before it fries (like with the mushrooms) or after you get some color on whatever you got in the pan. I guess its really about learning different foods and different cooking techniques. Olive oil has a low heat point, you don't want to cook with it on high temps. I go through a liter in about 2 mos, which is a little over a tablespoon a day. Thats about 1/5 of recommended fat intake, not that I am suggesting you try to push for recommended fat intake. I think different people are different, its always good to get ldl checked.

Oil really should only be used as a condiment, not a whole ingredient in meals. But I noticed a few of the studies cited are a bit misleading. The one comparing Olive, soybean and palm oil was based on giving participants 1/4 CUP (!!!!!) of oil, which is hardly considered a normal serving size (and the meal was also deep-fried...). That's like the amount of fat found in 4 Big Macs! The Oils and Fatty Blood Study looked at people who had fasted and then consumed 3 tablespoons of oil (again, way outside of a standard serving). While I can appreciate that oil shouldn't be a staple in our diet, we need to look at the quantities consumed, too. As you mentioned, it has been shown that people adding oil to their salads did better in studies, but it wasn't necessarily because they were eating salads, but rather because fat (the oil) helps them to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins in that salad (Dr. Greger has a video on this). I'd love to see studies comparing people who eat reasonable amounts of oil (like a teaspoon for their large bowl of salad) to those who avoid it.

[@irasemamartinez2222]

Hi Sapphire! Good for you on taking the decision to become vegan :) it can be a bit daunting at the beginning with all the info available, but don't desist, you'll see that it is one of the best things you can do for your health, the animals and the environment. Take it easy and don't feel bad if you accidentally eat something that is not vegan or unhealthy. It worked for me to quit all meats for a couple of weeks, then all dairy. In a month I was vegan ;) Putting a bit of effort in food prep every week can save time and get healthier options... and save money. Make sure you eat at least a couple of fruits, greens and veggies, grains and pulses, nuts, seeds and healthy fats everyday. Balance is the key. Personally, I eat like 10 fruits every day split between breakfast and lunch, then for dinner I eat greens, veggies, rice or potatoes, beans... I don't put a lot of oils and I'm reducing the intake slowly; I'm trying to 'indulge' just in the weekends haha. Even with all the fruit I eat I haven't gained weight because I've been lowering the oils and reducing the processed food. For me it has worked eating all the dense foods late in the afternoon, and light foods like the fruit during the morning. You will learn to communicate with your body and feel whats best for you. I hope this can help a bit :) PS. As Mic says, take your B12! Peace.

[@Dollectable_Dreams]

sapphire miller The info he gave have nothing to do with being, going vegan. The info on this video are health related. You don't have to follow whatever every different vegan person says.

[@fabfourfever674]

To go vegan and NOT pay attention to doing it right so that you don't destroy your health is ignorant and irresponsible advice. Many who think that all they need to do to be vegan is simply stop eating animals for ethical reasons won't be a successful vegan for long. Sooner or later, their health will be affected unless they educate themselves on nutrition. Anybody can be a junk food vegan and/or live off of lots of vegan processed crap, but they won't be healthy. This is why so many former vegans fail and go back to eating meat and dairy. It's not that their body's NEEDED the animal products. It's that their body's weren't getting the NUTRIENTS that eating those animal products would provide. You need to eat a WHOLE FOODS vegan diet as much as possible and learn HOW to eat this way so that your body absorbs all the nutrients you need. Educate yourself so that you don't become deficient over time. That's the best gift you can not only give to the animals, but to YOURSELF.

[@centaureg]

I guess we're all doomed by eating at all. Wheat and other so-called "inflammatory" grains have been linked to heart disease as much as vegetable oils, refined or not. So oils are out, most common grains other than quinoa out, too. Then there are camps that find legumes and tubers to be deleterious to good health and other groups that warn against eating any more than 15 grams of fruit per day. I have read of the negative effects of depending on green smoothies and how rotating green leafy vegetables is essential due to the oxalates they contain. Then there are food allergies and avoiding anything non-organic though I have read articles that find fault with the veracity of any food being truly organic. Where does it end? The fact is there is no ideal diet, no one ideal diet suits all. As the old adage goes, "One man's meat is another man's poison". So, in veganism, one vegan's sustenance is another vegan's nutritional downfall. As it is with any other nutritional plan. Finding out what works well for you, in this frequently expensive and didactic arena, is a real challenge. If you are under the delusion that abiding by a "pure" or "clean" diet will spare you from ever experiencing negative affects, think again. Perfectionism in itself is a recipe for increased stress, isolationism and dis-ease. Better to do what one can and not become so fixated on elimination of every supposedly toxic or bad substance. Balance and reasonable application work wherever and whenever possible. A philosophy of "all or nothing at all' produces imbalances for the majority of us. "Everything in moderation and nothing in excess" is something I prefer to live by these days as supposedly good things can become excessive behaviors and lose their benefits.

[@kulecter]

You said a mouthful !! I'm sure people will argue that moderation of "bad" foods is harmful. I suspect when people try to be perfect they fall off their plan, return to the "bad" foods temporarily before being perfect again. Or maybe it's just me. Either way, falling off the wagon is like moderation only worse. thanks Greggerman!

[@centaureg]

When being on the wagon is so restrictive your life is devoted to little more than managing eating then something is really wrong. An alcoholic has to eliminate one thing, but food "purists" start with one elimination and pretty soon find almost everything has to be either eliminated or constrained. At one time other another, I have encountered some expert or some writing declaring that everything we eat is "bad" for us, from garlic to spinach and on and on. This approach easily gets tiresome and then people find themselves binge-ing on junk food because they can't measure up to the dictates of perfectionism and maintain such a regimen. Do what works for you and moderate whenever you can. Food should supply nutrition AND give us pleasurable experiences beyond just satiation. You can savor it and still be healthy, IMHO. Thanks for responding, Joyce.

[@papparocket]

Greggerman, the animal and processed food industry has you just where they want you, confused and overwhelmed. If they can create at a lot of artificial controversy where you don't know what to think, they know that you will eventually just throw up your hands resignation and keep eating what you have always have, which is usually what they are trying to sell you. True you might eat more "moderate" amounts of their products, whatever the hell moderate actually means. But that is better than you see the independent science which presents a much clearer picture of what is and what is not part of a healthy diet and as a result stop eating their products entirely. It worked for the tobacco industry for decades, Big Food is hoping that it will work for them as well and perhaps even longer since everybody has to eat and nobody can just stop "cold turkey" as it were like they could to get the tobacco monkey off of their backs. Big food has even hired the same consulting firms that helped Big Tobacco to sell the controversy where there was none. The food industry is helped immensely by the internet where anybody can hang their "shingle" out and start hawking just about any unsupported non-sense they want to make up. And like you said, it isn't hard to find something in some study, even if it requires a creative reading of it that has it saying exactly the reverse of what the researchers actually said. One way I found to cut through the fog of confusion that industry keeps generating, and the chaos spawned by internet parasites that feed off of that confusion is to ask yourself whether the person tell you something is healthy or unhealthy stands to make a lot of money off of you if they can get you to believe them. If they can, then I would believe them just as much as I would a used car salesman. And I think you are very mistaken when you say that there isn't one diet that is best for everybody. There is a huge body of research both observational and interventional as well as from the biochemistry labs looking at metabolic processes and pathways that strongly says that a dietary pattern is healthy to the degree that it is based on whole plant foods. It doesn't say that any deviation from 100% plant based is instantly ruinous to your health. Eating healthy doesn't require perfectionism, but it does require some understanding what is healthy and what is unhealthy and an ongoing effort to eat from the healthy column as much as you can and from the unhealthy column as little as you possibly can. So if you simply won't eat vegetables unless you saute them in olive oil first, then saute them in oil. That is infinitely better than not eating any vegetables. But understand that this is still not the healthiest possible, just the healthiest you can manage at the current time. And then breath knowing that you are doing better for yourself than if threw up your hands in resignation.

[@nctrnl7leo4]

Mic, this is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I think the overwhelming theme to all of this for those thinking "at this point we won't be able to eat anything" is clear: stop eating processed foods. The science continues to show that the more we manipulate and process food, the more dangerous it is. Cooking is one thing, processing is another. Ever stop to think how many olives is equivalent to one tablespoon of olive oil (varies from 20 to 40). The olive oil is a macronutrient extract of the olive which is simply concentrated fat. It's the same as the juice from an apple is not as good as the apple itself because you've removed much if not all of the fiber and nutrients. Our society is obsessed with macronutrients: "I need to get my protein," rather than whole foods.

[@theshunnedBandersnatch]

I used to feel the same way, but it really does make a difference in how you feel. Cutting out oil from your home cooking doesn't mean completely eliminating all overt fats, though. You can still enjoy plenty of whole plant fats like avocados (they make great dressings, spreads & go great on top of pizzas), nuts, seeds, etc. & if you love dressings & sauces, adding vinegar can help infuse lots of flavor.

i almost lost it when yoda made an appearance! I ditched oil years ago. going low fat, 15% or lower of total calories, cleared my skin and sinuses. I went 28 years without being able to breathe through my nose because my sinuses were clogged. I literally could only take shallow half breathes in through my nose. 3 months into this lower fat diet and my skin turned smooth and I can now take full deep breathes through my nose. After having cut out oils for some time, a couple months or so, I remember eating something that had olive oil. It made my whole mouth feel oily and the oil itself had an unappetizing appeal.

Whole fats from plant foods - great. And much needed. Oils no. SIMPLES ;-)

[@dustinthegael]

What I don’t understand is those fats are just oil inside of those nuts, seeds, and avocados, so why is it ok if they are consumed that way versus oil in your food?

[@bojstojsa7574]

@@dustinthegael Within whole plants, those fats are bound to fibres and other plant components, which makes us digest them less and slower in comparison. Also, a nut simply has much less fat by weight than the equivalent mass of oil, so you probably get less of those fats in the first place when you're eating nut and seeds and beans. In addition, the whole nut or seed gives you a bunch of other important nutrients that are simply thrown away in an oil processing plant, so you throw away a lot of the positive health impact associated with whole plant foods. Oil is jut isolated fat - a whole food has thousands upon thousands of compounds interacting with each other to provide significant potential health benefits.

"A study that followed in 1999, made by the same researchers, that actually says that olive oil may attenuate the acute procoagulant effects of fatty meals. Therefore DISPROVING the previous study...." Is what he said and that is what I addressed. Not to mention that isn't the only evidence simply because in that one way it may not be as bad for you as once shown doesn't mean it's healthy. There are still a plethora of studies showing how fats are bad for you. Not to mention the arterial stunning effects that comes from many plant based oils. Which is one reason why it is near butter. No he presented it like it was good research which it was.

That study only says that olive oil is better than sunflower oil and rapeseed oil. Did you even read it? Their: "OBJECTIVE: We compared the effects of virgin olive oil with those of rapeseed and sunflower oils on blood coagulation factor VII (FVII), a key factor in thrombogenesis."

It's not a one size fits all solution. It's about the Omega 3/Omega 6 ratios.

[@elenalogreco7580]

As a sicilian I'm honestly almost 'personally' offended by this video. I'm just speaking about extra vergin olive oil, one of the healthiest fats on earth! In Italy you can even buy it directly from the producer (in my case my uncle!) and know exactly the provenience and quality (you can even say if it's good just by tasting it). The process it's really simple consisting in crushing olives and extracting the oil. I don't understand this war against processed food, in this specific case sounds ridiculus to me! Expecially raw it's great for your health and diet. All the researches I know demonstrates it reduces LDL low density lipoproteine and heart disease. In this video I only heard of generic olive oil, it's absurd for me thinking about evoo to be this unhealthy. Of course you are supposed to not exaggerate. Plus, comparing evoo to powdered sugar it's outrageous. Seriously, there's anyone but him, evoo

[@jonathancaldentey4615]

All studies concluding the healthy results of EVOO compare it to an average diet. Taking into consideration all the shit we eat, I’m not surprised. Now compare it to oil free diets and see what results you get.

[@StarOnTheWater]

Yes, but that's a general problem with people on the internet talking about science who don't really understand how science is made. One study usually examines one very specific aspect and has to be put in context with all the other information. Literally NO study will tell you "that is how it is, the other studies are false". Instead they usually say something like "this opens a perspective for further examination" or "this requires deeper investigation " or something. It's just people in the internet misreading it and using single studies to support their theories, ignoring all other evidence. In this case the general evidence points in the direction that olive oil has a lot of benefits, but there may also be some disadvantages to eating a lot of oil. Usually in any TRADITIONAL diet, they balance/cancel each other out. There is no perfect diet. You can't eat endless amounts of anything. There are a million biochemical processes going on in your body and you can slightly shift them into one or the other direction by what you eat. Sometimes both directions are healthy. Chronic inflammation is bad, but you need the capacity for some inflammation. Too many antioxidants raise the risk for certain types of cancer. Your body uses free radicals as a weapon against mutated cells but free radicals also damage healthy DNA. Fasting helps your body fight bacterial infections but it weakens it against viral infections. Etc...

But then in a couple weeks all the bright wonderful flavors of the food that were buried under the overpowering amounts of fat, salt and sugar start to peek through like spring flowers out from under a heavy late spring snow. The really sad part is that restaurants still have to cater to the comatose, and so even the wonderful vegan and vegan friendly places that are finally starting to make eating out as a vegan less of an ordeal taste taste like every plates was passed through a fat shower on its way out to the table.

The greasy truth is that plants aren't the best source of fat, as he clearly demonstrates in the video at 5:11-5:27, but milk fat. Plant fat is meant to store energy for months without going bad, and it therefore has longer fatty acids and is harder (and slower) to digest. Milk fat (virtually irrespective of species) is actually meant for (instant) digestion of animals, and is digested much quicker (it behaves almost like a complex carbohydrate in this respect - without the bloating).
