Revealing The TRUTH About Fat in Your Diet

[@KJSvitko]

Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices. Fasting should be investigated as a treatment for disease.

"If all the people would be healthy than how doctors going to make money?" that's why higher doctors and medical companies don't teach them intentionally.

Good stuff Doc, thanks

[@happynessadict]

i been vegan for 13 years been eating 50gr of fat every day plus take DHA and a omega 3...my index is perfect

[@jpintero6330]

This absolutely proves you need fish o a plant-based diet. It has already been shown in studies to be the very best diet.

[@anonimogonzalezperez4951]

most people on earth does not eat fish in any form, it is the most unpopular dish of all, and, besides, most population have been living in places far from coast or even rivers in order to eat fish all days or even all weeks. It have been so since ever, and people is aparently quite healthy without fish in their diet, but with beans and greens (the principal ingredients by volume and calories in traditional diet in spain, for example, before industrialized cattle raising). So omega 3 from plant sources must bee good even for non vegans. I am not agree with the dha and epa supplementation thing with the doctor at all, apart from indivual circumstances.

[@happynessadict]

fish 2x a week is what my plant based parents eat they are in their late 80's and sharp as a tack

[@DamonWard-h4u]

Yes there is a supplement with just DHA. It is called Premier DHA from Premier Research Labs.

Cut up an Organic Avocado and drench it with cold pressed Olive oil

[@roch369]

no oils

[@algibs9095]

Do you recall how much we increase absorption of nutrients when we consume our meals with a bit of healthy fat?

[@sharonc8283]

20 to 50%

[@monikab3413]

I did supplement Omega 3 with algae oil capsules and they only contained DHA... Do vegan ones contain EPA? Isn't it only in fish oil?

[@mountaingoat1806]

I'm amazed that you opine so much on the danger of omega 3 deficiencies yet still can't bring yourself to concede that just moderate consumption of Wild caught fatty fish might be a worthwhile trade-off in dietary nutritional terms.

[@jeCktHeReal]

It really does seem veganism is an ideology. It's not about health and nutrition, it's just about not eating meat and animal foods because it's "evil". It's good if someone comes to that themselves and goes through that whole thing (hopefully getting through it the other end) but it is no good if it's pushed on people and they are just blindly walking into it like a trap.

Dr. Fuhrman is my go to as he has the most experience and makes great sense. Dr. McDougall as well.

[@geraldine7101]

Dr McDougall may he RIP; did not advocate to eat fat so much...he use to say ONLY eat fats if your at a healthy weight, which in his opinion was at a very lean physique.

[@robertwhite2449]

The only way you'd get advice from the latter now is through a seance 😂

[@DERISNER]

Dr. Peter Rogers on his KZbin channel says this is nonsense. You shouldn't eat ANY fat. None. You get enough fat from the whole foods, mostly starches, you consume.

[@greensmoothieparty]

Dr. Rogers has no clinical experience treating patients by offering nutritional advice and following their health outcomes for decades. His dietary theories are based on mechanisms and easily debunked with contrary evidence. His stances are more extreme than any other plant based diet recommending physician (including Dr. McDougall) and are very likely risky long term. I plugged his daily OMAD diet into Cronometer and it was shown to be deficient in several nutrients. Note that Ornish and Esselstyn are more cautious in their recommendations. Dr. Rogers does not follow his own advice about the importance of listening to physicians with decades of relevant clinical experience. Kind of odd, huh?

[@DroppingBearVictim]

@@greensmoothieparty Have you seen his video where he claims to do a ton of push-ups, but he’s only moving up and down about 4 inches? It’s laughable because it really highlights how shallow his thinking is. If he considers those to be real push-ups, it makes you wonder what other superficial or misguided ideas he’s convinced himself are legit

[@greensmoothieparty]

@@DroppingBearVictim I know that Dr. Rogers was not aware of this when he recorded his pushup video, but that technique of doing quick sustained shallow pushups is called oscillatory training. Check out the video by I Am Longevity called Oscillatory Training: How to Keep Your Muscles, Joints, Tendons and Ligaments Young, from a few weeks ago. This guy is the same age as Dr. Rogers. Cheers!

[@DroppingBearVictim]

@@greensmoothieparty Interesting. Funnily enough, that guy recommends a very high protein diet (he says even above 35% of daily calories is not too much) lol

[@greensmoothieparty]

@@DroppingBearVictim Yeah, I think I Am Longevity guy is aging faster due to his high protein diet. He may be getting some exogenous hormonal performance gains but he may end up crashing in a disease ditch. Sad. I commented that I was a nutritarian and he commented back that he would have to look into what that was. I doubt if he will adjust but who knows.

[@douglivingstone4285]

Its impossible to exclude fat from the diet.

[@asmarashanice]

Talking on vegetable fats how can someone be able to eat one vegetable but years later it causes pain? e.g I love avocados and I used to eat them as a child but now in my late twenties it seems my stomach can't tolerate them, why is that?

[@asmarashanice]

Same with nuts if I have a handful of just nuts my stomach turns but it wasn't like that when I was younger

[@dj.h7424]

I think the microbiome just needs to adjust gradually, start small try adding a little each day and build up. worked for me with beans! A good book is the Gut by Giulia Enders

[@asmarashanice]

@@dj.h7424 Okay will get that book, thank you!

[@jeCktHeReal]

As children we can tolerate more abuse from the foods we consume. It's the years and years of abuse that breaks the digestive system. If you can't bring yourself to eat meat then you should try a low-fat diet with fish, eggs and raw milk included. Get out while you're relatively healthy.

[@kathy.7475]

Our digestion can become more sensitive as we age and microbiome change. Sometimes If you give yourself a break from the foods that are bothering you, then later you can add them slowly back in without issue.

[@zamfirtoth6441]

So many books, so much money made, so wrong about nutrition.

[@georgianawickenden563]

I wish u could speak I. Normal language . No fat or yes fat and what kind of vitamins do we need

[@cloudguru3018]

😂😂😂 Just eat WFPB diet and take 1.5-2g (not more) of high quality Omega3, take B12, D3+K2, Taurine, Creatine and Magnesium. Sleep well, exercise and do wim hoff style breathing few times a day and you will be just fine!

[@hctim96]

Doctors have a bad habit of talking "medical-ese" Lawyers also.. They speak "Legal-ese" and don't get me started with the IRS!!! Yes bring it down to the language of the normal, on the street people..

[@flattlandermontgomery1524]

According to his food pyramid that you can find online by googling "Joel Fuhrman food pyramid" he recommends anywhere between 10 to 40 percent of calories coming from nuts, seeds and avocados. I'm not sure what vitamins he recommends.

[@jpintero6330]

You need fat. Get 30 grams/day. Eat nuts. Eat avocado. Get ALL your vitamins. Go outside to get Vitamin D.

[@jeCktHeReal]

On a vegan diet you likely need all of the vitamins, even those that the plant foods you consume'd contain normally because of all the anti-nutrients being consumed. That's the reason the diet doesn't work - malnutrition. I'd recommend more of a loose vegetarian/pescetarian diet that includes fish, eggs, raw milk if you just can't bring yourself to eat meat. Please get out while you still can, and know that you can still have love and appreciation for animals even if you'd consume them.
