It’s no secret, sugar has been labeled the bad guy in the standard American diet for years now. As new diet fads circulate around the internet and the latest trends and research seems to change every other day, finally some pieces of the “what’s making me fat” puzzle are starting to fit together. Even more so, with today’s health concerns, obesity is no longer the only indicator for poor health and metabolic disease. Dr. Richard Johnson is board certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and kidney disease and is known as the Fructose Expert. In this episode he’s breaking down the orchestrated events taking place in our bodies between sugar, salt, and how your foods are triggering you to gain weight.

QUOTES:
“There is a switch that animals use to go from being us normal weight to overweight, that switch, you can activate it by certain types of foods.” [1:53]
“The fat is like the firewood, and the sugar is like the fire. So if you take away the fire, and you go on a low carb diet, and you are in high fat now, well, there's no stimulus to gain weight because because you've taken away the fructose” [17:18]
“One of the classic means for stimulating fructose turns out to be from a high glucose level in the blood.” [23:02]
“When you eat, if your glucose goes up in your blood, it triggers the production of fructose.” [37:59]
“So it's either the fructose you eat, or the fructose you make if you eat a lot of fructose, you're going to activate the switch.” [38:58]
“We have a higher uric acid, and this makes us more sensitive to the effects of fructose because fructose is working through uric acid. [...] and when that happens, we become very sensitive to sugar” [40:14]
“In the potency sugars, number one, high glycemic carbs are probably number two. salty foods are distant three, and umami is maybe even a four.” [44:36]
“Exercise turns out to be a great way not to lose weight, cause it doesn't burn many calories, but it stimulates the mitochondria, you won't notice the benefit except the benefit’s going to be happening.” [55:46]

What’s the most useful tip you can share for fat loss?

[@brainbodybites]

Intermittent fasting..!! Just incredibly works for me!! If you read my comment carefully, it says: "Works incredibly for me." Probably, you missed it! It immediately contextualizes my rooting for the mantra. For instance: not everyone will respond well to a 16-hour window. My advice is not to go extreme at once. Else we face issues like hunger and cravings, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, dehydration, lack of energy, unhealthy weight loss, etc. It takes time to grow your body to adapt to it, so be patient with yourself. Most importantly, listen to your body. Take a few tries to find your sweet spot. For starters, you can stick to a 12-hour window (Dinner at 8:00 PM, Light Breakfast at 8:00 AM). Then gradually move to a 16-hour window. Also, it is important to consider other variables like eating nutritious home-cooked healthy meals, avoiding calorie density food, keeping yourself hydrated, taking sound ⅞ hour sleep, doing some form of workout/stretching for at least 24 mins, going for a daily walk, and walking at least 6000-7000 steps every day. It might sound like a lot of hassle but honestly, everything boils down to developing healthy life habits for your body, your mind, and your overall well-being. Last but not least, more than losing weight, it is important to feel mentally fit and energetic & stay internally healthy.

[@munaiverse7662]

The Reason we get fat is simply because our body adapts to how much activity and energy we do/consume, put shortly: input and output; so if you want be really lean and fit, live a lifestyle that requires that! I hope this helped - A Growing Personal Development KZbinr

I'll water fast for 2-3 days and go for walks around the city ("cheating" with coffee can help combat the fatigue) Great way to clear the mind and the gut. I hear extended fasting can help reset your gut microbiome.

[@Website9]

i remember my grandfather used to go for really long walks in the mountains 6 plus hours at a time and he would always eat a lot of suet fat from cows and on his walks he would just take one bottle of water and now i know why he never got dehydrated.... the fat from the suet in his body stored lots of water for him.... he had a wonderful happy character and had a sharp mind until he suddenly passed away in his sleep at the age of 105...

Among the many other good eating habits, I drink lemon and lime water with himilayan salt every morning. I hear the acidity effects the blood sugar levels positively. It seems to work because I have no cravings for food and my weight is under control now. I also feel less anxious; previously I would eat when I felt anxious. If you're reading this you can break the cycle too :)

Did I get this right? The melting away fat is = to get 500mg of vitamin C a day, drink 8-10 glasses of water, stay off carbs, and do intermittent fasting? I loved the explanation of fructose, salt, and umami and how it flips the gain weight switch/ tricker the alarm!

[@heatherslittlethings]

Thanks for the list!! Zone 2 is a specific type of cardio/exercise when you are at like 60% to 70% of your heart rate. I think there are 5 heart rate zones that do different things for your body, so you may want to research that further.

Also relax often! It was proven that stress and cortisol favors the accumulation of fat. The body does not know if you have a stressful workplace, toxic relationship or an upcoming famine. The body wants what's best for you and it does it's best with it's evolutionary inherited traits. Be the captain of your body, care for it as you would a priceless yacht and you will sail the sea of life with east. I wish you good habits and Good Luck!

Tom, I have been a big admirer of your show for quite a while, but now I love it and you. Promotion and recognition of the work of this brilliant man, Professor Rick Johnson, is so long overdue, he deserves this high-profile recognition of his work. Recently you interviewed Dr David Perlmutter re uric acid, and that was excellent, but as he stated, that uric acid research was done by Prof. Johnson, who I first heard discuss this about 3 or 4 years ago in a great interview by Peter Attia. Anyway, well done. Thank you. This is from Patricia and William H.

No 1 health related video I've watched all year or maybe in the last 2 years and I watch many nutritional video and read many books and articles. This guys has hit every single point. This is a masterclass in understanding the dietary part to weight gain/weight loss. ! Honestly amazing! !

[@pacojavo2978]

Interesting comment. I couldn't agree more. The research can't hide his joy regarding his reserch's findings. Would be great to know your Top Ten list of health & fitness videos.

[@jasonmighty3328]

@@pacojavo2978 yes he is a happy bunny! Since this I've been looking more into water retention and the role of magnesium. However I not the biggest fan of the idea of supplementation for example my daily supplement is 2 eggs daily, good sleep, sunlight etc. Though I'd say the most interesting video and something you don't need supplementation for to improve is Nasal Breathing. This has helped me with energy, feeling awake in the morning, swimming, running, weight lifting and even premature ejactulation. Understanding your breath and nasal breathing is so important, when practiced it can be a boost whenever you are in a rut or funk. The other thing that I think is very beneficial to look at is the purpose of your gallbladder and bile production. To put it short, your gallbladder is very important for the digestion of fat and fat soluble vitamins like A,E,D and K. It's very easy to test if you need to work on improving bile salt production of the gallbladder, if your not put off by the idea then when you poop just look into the bowl and see if it floats. If it floats, you aren't absorbing the fat as the fat is what is making it float. If you wanted to supplement with bile salts be sure to use it at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after you eat as bile salts are alkaline and can affect your digestion briefly. Lastly you only need to supplement bile salts for at most a week, I only supplemented for 3 days. This is because it kicks your liver and gallbladder into action as your bile salts are reabsorbed into your gallbladder after you breakdown fats. You can build your bile salt up naturally by slowly increasing your fats. Because the salts are reabsorbed you can slowly and slowly build it up, as long as your liver and gallbladder are in working order. I'm not a doctor, pls do your own due diligence and research. Lastly stay away for all this new age supplements with random and fantastical names. A lot of the research is wrong simple because when they test on rats and mice they are never explicit with what diet the control rodents are on. Usually its a high carb diet which makes almost any supplement look impressive next to a nutritionally weak diet for the rodents. Yh I can talk for hours on the many sides to nuitrition, I find it interesting. Hopefully this wasn't too much information to digest. If your interested to know about my list of things to do for health that do not require supplements and things which may require supplements please let me know. I'm more than happy to share.

A food journal really helped with that. Other than that, just remember that sugar is poison and carbs can kill. Good luck and good health to all trying to get it worked out! Keep the faith!

I tried months and months of healthy eating with minimal success. I did not realize the stress and sleep component was so vital. Your situation doesn't make sense either, especially since you are eating healthy. Your body should be at a good weight. Apparently making sure you have the right amount of water is important. I was told once that I wasn't drinking enough, then was told I was drinking too much. Not sure how to figure out the right amount and the right type of exercise. I know figuring out how your body processes food is key. I am still experimenting with that since I know insulin levels affect everything. The one thing you can control is sleep.

It's called "resistant starch" and has been well researched. Also prebotic and feeds your good bacteria! I'm mostly living on resistant macaroni at the moment with Parmesian, avocado oil, and red pepper flakes.

[@tinkymcginnis]

my waste line proves otherwise

[@RediCareControl]

@Dust Storm Correct, just check your blood sugars after reheated potatoes and you will observe it in real time.

[@georgiaarseniemag.dr.4221]

Pls. excuse me! I might be wrong but out of what Professor Johnson says here, I understand that we shouldn't consume rise, potatoes...and carbs, generally, or, eventually low carbon should be the advisable carbs to eat! Please, make me understand your theory with carbs cooked and refrigerated! Thank you!

[@adrianamdf]

I tried that using my free style 14 days continuous glucose sensor and my glucose went up just like with freshly cooked carbs.

[@zerdalies]

Many tests show a spike when consuming resistant starches

[@marcelzuniga87]

love this conversation!!!

[@eduardonishimura]

Fantastic! I’ve been teaching patients about these survival key that changes the metabolism…

[@christinevisser350]

Brilliant interview. I have been trying for years and years and years to convince everyone around me that sugar is toxic and that high GI carbs will not only make or keep you fat, but make you ill and old before your time. I agree 100% with everything here, but can I just add that resistance training also plays a very important role in not only strengthening the mitochondria but also generally helping the body in so many other ways. So yes, zone 2 training is brilliant for fat loss, but a balance of resistance training, a controlled amount of high intensity interval training, and the zone 2 training will work well. A big problem in countries where income levels are lower, is that the bad food is also the cheap food. I live in Namibia, and for many people here bread and sugar is often the one thing that they can consume in larger quantities because healthy food can also be expensive. It makes the process to help people live healthier so much harder, as economically it is just very hard for them.

[@poppydaline6825]

Maybe they can implement fasting, since it's free. I feel like that's a good start!

[@rockthompson3476]

Great show, I am curious if he ever mentioned breads like sprout breads, high grain etc.

[@kautilyapratapsingh]

Superb Info which I will put to good use...!!!

[@freddieivory625]

Fascinating information, thank you so much for sharing

[@diane4488]

Makes sense to me. We would be eating our most calorie dense food in the autumn/harvest season. Grains, fruit, root vegetables etc. Sweeter, carbohydrate foods. We would need the fat that these foods cause, to get us through the winter, when we wouldn't be able to leave our shelter as much as over the Spring/Summer time. We'd lose some of our weight in the winter, but also over the active sunny period too, where we would be hunting, and living on protein. Weight would therefore go up and down, with a cycle spreading across the whole year. Like he said, people who couldn't put on weight, would often die off. Survival of the healthiest/fittest. Now we've reversed these trends. The healthy fat-savers get huge, and die early. It's totally against nature.

[@wendycarter5718]

Yes !! I have always noticed a definite increase in appetite in October /November ! ! Might it be regulated by falling vitamin D levels as daylight hours dwindle !! Moral ! Take increased Vitamin D supplements in the fall !!

[@bluefernlove]

Depends on where you live. Our origins are in the Equator. We are warm blooded animals that where meant to live in a tropical environment with access to fruit year round. That means our "original" diet should consist of fruit (both sweet and non sweet aka vegetables) tubers, some saturated fat from coconuts and non fatty fish (tropical fish) The further we went into the mainland our diet became more dependent on pray, but still heavily relied on plant matter until people settled and agriculture began. I think our problem is caloric density. The moment we started mixing sugar, fat, starch and protein we started seeing an impact on weight. People that had access to all kinds of foods like meats and cakes and sweets (that where and have been not just sugar but a mixture of sugar, starch and fat) where the ones who developed problems like gout. Usually, the monarchs. Poor farmers seemed to have better health since they relied more on vegetable matter, some eggs, milk and meats on the side, not as the main dish. The cultures that seem to have better health overall are the ones who put an emphasis on plant matter. Also, people naturally gravitate towards fresh, lighter, watery foods when the weather is hot. You tend to be less hungry and more thirsty. And you tend to go for more calorie dense foods in the winter to up your temperature. It literally makes NO sense to eat the most calories during the summer. Not even animals do that. Again, depending where you live. If you live in a place with hard winters where no food is available, then animals obviously eat more when there is food available, during warmer spring and early autumn.

I went vegan and all my blood test were perfectly normalized and cholesterol went from 5,5 to 3,2 and some digestive issues were gone. My B12 was above the range enormously high, my iron also and everything else was so surprising for my doctor she told me" what ever you are doing has amazing effect". I believe that some people are made to be vegan. Some are not. But based on my experience I would never go back to a normal diet again.

[@maryliz28]

I totally agree with this, I think my body was unfortunatley designed for the exact opposite of veganism. Im intollerant or allergic to most legumes (especially soy), MSG, and many fruits like bananas and pineapple. I put weight on super easily with white carbs on top of brain fog, migraines and just bad mood/energy levels. My best friend is vegan and I would pretty much die if I ate her diet, but she thrives on it.

@STAR W You should really not just transition to become a vegan in one day without doing tons of research first. There is a lot to learn, and not knowing what you are doing can potentially be very harmful to your health. I would highly recommend doing a slow transition and first cut out red meat and pork (pork is super harmful to your health, so I would definitely start with that), then white meat and eventually fish over a period of several months while implementing more and more vegetarian dishes so that your body can adjust more easily and so that you have time to learn what to eat and how to use different ingredients properly (like for instance beans, lentils and nuts needs to be soaked, spinach needs to be cooked etc, There's a lot more to be aware of too) and so that you can get used to vegan cooking. And you do need to cook your own food from scratch if you are going to be a vegan. All those vegan fake meats and other vegan processed foods that you can find in the supermarket are just as bad as processed foods with meats or dairy. Living on processed foods is definitely not a lifestyle you want to have if you aim to be healthy. I would highly recommend eating vegetarian once you have cut out the meat, meaning still eating some eggs and small amounts of dairy, and then go vegan when you feel you have the nutritional knowledge and cooking under control. I strongly advise not to put yourself in a box (like the vegan box), but rather follow your intuition on what to eat. There is nothing wrong in eating mostly vegan and once in a while eat some eggs or cheese in the beginning until you have it under control. And if your body should suddenly crave fish for example, that is a sign that you need to listen to the incredible intelligence of the body. It knows what it needs. Also, many vegans can be super judgmental and downright cruel to others if they don't completely fit their "perfect" box straight away, when I went vegan I almost wish I hadn't, just because I didn't want to belong to that "group" (many vegans are kind and good people, but the loudest once are not someone you want to be associated with, lol). There is nothing wrong in saying "I eat mostly vegan, and I am working on transitioning to a complete vegan diet and lifestyle as long as my body says yes". Just be smart about it. Your health should be your number one priority.

[@christopherellis2663]

I have a friend who has been vegan for two decades: apart from intermittent iron deficiency (dark circles under eyes) she's fine. Really should drop the cigarettes and beer, imo.

[@christopherellis2663]

@STAR W proteins and fats are not only in meat. Perhaps you should start off with the traditional ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet that has been around for millennia.

[@TM-co9sp]

Thank you. It all makes sense.

[@naturelife418]

one of the most important videos i have ever seen

[@beaversstumpgrinding3352]

Flavored potato chips (salt, carb, plus msg), dips, salad dressing, and most canned soups, all have MSG.

[@laurischoolmarm]

Anyone who's confused and worried about what, how, and when to eat will either be irredeemably suicidal or severely depressed by this video. In a time when clarity and definitive information is needed to clear the perpetual fog that obscures this subject, we've got to do better.

[@shawshank6015]

I agree 🤯

[@1bestfriend2u18]

Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@reginatucker2947]

I'm a carnivore I don't eat sugar or carbs at all.I was dieing before switching to all meat diet. My thinking is very clear . My body is amazing lol. I've never been healthier in all my life.

[@haneylondhe6697]

Carnivorous diet make your body hyper acidic... For short trem its good but long term your body becomes will highly venerable to cancer

[@mabelheinzle2275]

I tried carnivore for several weeks - Amazing results - got lazy and moved to Keto

[@scotter]

I enjoyed and learned from this! I'm curious how high salt (real salt) intake affects a person on a low carb diet, as well as if they do intermittent fasting.

[@sevmassyn5660]

Most information and best vlog ever on diet. Than you. Great guest

[@SzerenM]

Nobody use that anymore OR are they???????????????

soo much learning ❤️

[@khatmanworld]

Hi Tom, from all this content on what to eat and what not to eat. Can all these be summed up and narrowed down to what to eat....coz I'm bogged down with all this information. Now I don't know what to eat.😥
