The 7 Foods I NEVER EAT Anymore (What I Eat Instead) | Dr. Mindy Pelz

[@CJC0017]

As a farmer who grows grain wheat barley etc you guys need to know many many of us do not use gmo or any interfered with seed. We simply self seed our own crops over and over . I think you'd find if you ground your own wheat and made your own. We don't use chemicals on crops either. We spray before the seeds are even planted not when they're grown or growing. We keep the stubble of crops in the ground so the rain catches and keeps moist which in turn helps earthworms and all,manner of insect vital insect life. Please don't categorise all farmers in one box it's not fair. Food leaves our farms clean and it's the processing and additives that are causing cancers etc.

[@MS-bs8dd]

Exactly! Thanks for sharing.

[@johnandsheilaalderson]

Love to know as a consumer how do we know who/where to buy from?

[@rosamundperry]

Would be great to sell direct to consumer and state your growing conditions. Also no glyphosate/ sprays would be a huge drawcard. I usually buy organic flour just to be safe.

[@mayra_m767]

Yes! I hate how the processed fake bread and grain foods are bundled with real grain bread!!! I buy my own organic wheat berries and mill my own flour fresh and bake fresh! I pdnt get bloated! And it's actually filling! Plus delicious! And there's like 5 ingredients in my bread including water... only drawback is if I want bread I have to make time to bake! Same goes with any cookies, snacks, sourdough. Also, the studies are always around wheat that is no bueno! Real is better!

[@lisatowe778]

Yes I grew up farming and we grew naturally, so zero issues and we kept a huge compost pile so when we canned all summer we could add the scraps to break down and in spring it was a fantastic source of fertilizer.

I’ve stopped eating wheat bread and never eat red licorice nor microwave popcorn, or any popcorn.

I haven’t had diet soda of any kind in years and I do drink organic kombucha zero, zero for no sugar. I limit fruit to organic blueberries, raspberries and strawberries but only in season, and in the summer water melon and white and green melons, which are typical of Portugal.

I avoided grains for years, lately I’ve started making my own bread with organic spelt berries. I activate the grain to the point of just sprouting, then turn the softened grains into a wet dough in my vitamix. I add egg, magnesium, selenium, salt, vinegar, yeast some water or milk. After rising it goes Into my air-fryer in two small pans. Sometimes I make biscotti with the mix, always aiming to up the protein level. Some pumpkin seeds, walnuts, coconut, butter…the recipe is open ended.

If you eat coconut oil, when the container is empty, fill it half full with pop corn kernels. Shake vigorously. Then when you want microwave popcorn, put a half of a cup of kernels into a brown bag, like the ones we use for children's lunches. Roll the end shut - an inch or two of rolling is plenty, then put the bag into the microwave, cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the popping has stopped, then salt with Redman's salt and enjoy. I like mine with sparkling water. Don't worry about a tight seal on the bag as you wish to allow steam to escape.

I had chronic fatigue and pain for years. I was constantly being told that it's my fault because I don't manage my stress properly (which isn't true but hearing that for the umpteenth would, in fact, make me stressed). Finally a holistic doctor ran an allergy panel on me and it turned out I'm allergic to wheat, which reminded me that my brother was so strongly allergic to wheat as a baby that he was initially diagnosed with coeliac's, but eventually outgrew it so it must have been just an allergy. My allergy isn't strong but it's strong enough to have completely messed up my gut microbiome with years of constant inflammation. I removed wheat from my diet just over a week ago and started a probiotic regime and let me tell you, it's life-changing. I know it'll take weeks for everything to settle down but already I feel so much better!

[@busylane]

The chronic conditions will hopefully improve overtime as you start to heal your body. Good on you! I've had chronic bloating for many years. I developed IBS in my late teens and suffered with it ever since. It was emotionally influenced, so as my home life and mental health improved, I am much better now that I'm in my 30s. It seems I have left over inflammation. I have Apple cider vinegar every morning in water and now take organic tumeric tablets (plus fasting!). I've noticed a difference already! Hping it keeps on getting better!

[@sharonshumpert1917]

Making your own kombucha is super easy and you get to control the sugar content. The longer you let it ferment the less sugar because the good bacteria and yeast eats it up. I don’t agree with stopping kombucha. It has great probiotic benefits especially for those that has a yogurt intolerance because of milk.

@miriamjacob3777 I've no idea how old almond and coconut flours are. The information that I acquired was about wheat. But if my wheat flour was 10 days old and was low carb, I'd be happy to use that for cooking. Therefore I only use coconut flour because it is much lower in carbs and almond flour because it is lower still.

[@kalpanarao8917]

While I don't eat most of Mindy's 7 and haven't for a long time, I think an important caveat to the fish and fruit no-nos is where they are from. In places like Europe, Australia, Japan, etc. have a) much stricter regulations around food production (and a lack of food lobbyists ;); and b) seasonal production only. There are more safeguards in place to ensure whole foods are healthy and accessible.

[@sophiamichael2788]

I'm with you on the 7. Wheat is the hardest to give up for me-bread is my absolute favorite thing on the planet, with fish being next-i love sushi as well as tuna sandwiches! Physically I can handle bread once a month, but emotionally I am so addicted to it it's easier to just avoid. I do eat bread on my birthday and when I can. My body definitely does not like the movie food/drink or kombucha. I used to get red vines and coke, and of course drink the coke through a licorice stick-oh my! Never diet, thank my luck, it always tasted bad. Homemade kefir and sauerkraut was a game changer for me. I have had the most benefit from learning how I feel when I consume something and learning my own diet will be different from others. Thank you, Dr. Mindy, I appreciate your work and support!

1) I rarely eat bread but will allow myself to eat it sometimes. Years ago I was eating Ezekiel a lot. Today I had a standard white flour tortilla with my Chipotle burrito. 😬 I mainly eat organic sourdough when I do eat bread now. I am planning to make my own at home soon! 2) I haven't had red licorice in ages. I definitely found it delicious when I was younger but never had it often. Don't feel like eating any now but maybe I'd maybe have a bit if someone offered. I rarely eat candy for it to matter. 3) I haven't had microwave popcorn (or movie theater popcorn) in ages. I never want to have it again. I mainly grew up eating homemade air-popped popcorn with drizzled melted butter and seasonings. Nowadays I make my own stovetop organic popcorn with organic cold-pressed olive oil or organic avo oil with seasonings (garlic and onion powder, Redmond salt, Italian seasoning, cayenne, pepper), maybe some melted grass-fed butter or ghee on top, or sometimes I buy the Lesser Evil popcorn. 4) Never have been into diet soda. I haven't had soda in ages. I mainly would drink it sometimes as a kid (I'm 35 now.) I think the last time I had it was a little in my late 20s with some rum a few times (not big on drinking btw, especially now). 5) I still eat wild-caught salmon and sardines (in water, no oil) a few times each week. I also supplement with cod-fish liver oil. 6) I used to drink kombucha a lot too. Not every day, often. It always would make me feel off if I drank too much and too often. For whatever silly reason I ignored the sugar content, even though I knew better, and only focused on the flavor and the probiotics. I'm not opposed to having one again someday. I haven't had one in maybe two years. The very last time I had some, I was only getting low sugar ones. 7) I had a non-organic, not-super-ripe banana for the first time in forever today. 😬 I only really eat organic sweet berries (mostly blueberries), organic tomatoes, olives and capers, avocado, organic lemons, papaya, limes, and plantains... I don't eat fruit every day, just a few times each week and only a little. I used to eat more fruit when I was younger. Nowadays it's mostly veggies and animal foods.

I started having gastrointestinal problems 20 years and ended up totally crashing and being signed off work with chronic fatigue syndrome. My life was miserable for a few years with so many ‘random’ symptoms which I later realised were all connected to the poor state of my gut after years of poor diet and antibiotics. Conventional medicine was no help at all, with one doctor offering antidepressants (I was exhausted and frustrated, not depressed!). I will be forever grateful to the friend who recommended a nutritionist who identified sugar and wheat to be the root cause of it all. After a few weeks of cutting them out and taking a good probiotic, I got my life back! Over the years I’ve come to realise how common this story sadly is.

We have a small farm with our own chooks, orchard etc…. and my absolute favourite meal of the day is an organic berry, organic kefir and raw egg (our own) smoothie. Apart from that lots of meat, fish, shellfish, avocado, tomatoes and fruit in season. I take your point on fish of course. Also love raw milk. Love your videos, recently watched the one on Vitamin C flush, very enlightening, thankyou.

[@loub1733]

Living in Australia and having visited the US lots and having had family live there I have become aware of differences in our food industry and regulation. Not perfect here but definitely different to the US. I still eat fish as there are healthier options but am becoming more picky from where it comes from. Our once pristine Tasmanian salmon now has many problems with it. I eat a lot less bread. Still dapple with sourdough good quality bakery bread but eat a lot less. The other thing I notice about US bread ( and crackers) is the high sugar content- really different to these foods here. I like soup and like to have a bread roll or piece of bread with it and find that the feeling of satisfaction and satiety is just not there when I eliminate bread from this meal. Suggestions??

Hi. I am 26yo woman and in the recent years I've put a few kg on because of my vegetarian diet that included too many carbs. After I discovered your channel and read your book 'Fast like a girl', I've lost 4 kg, from 58kg to 54kg in just one month of mild IF and 3x36h fasts. I also started to include Salmon in my diet and to exclude non-nature carbs from my diet.

You mean Weight Loss, not Weight Gain? Also, be aware that natural Carbs are still Carbs and things like Simple Carbs and foods high in Glycemic Index such as for example, White Flour and Corn and Yams and Rice and Pasta and Peas and Sugarcane and other Sugar and Wine and Spirits are really Bad Fast Simple Quickly Digested Carbs from Nature which would make you gain more weight if you have Extra Calories per day, per week, per month!

I am totally with you on American hybridized wheat bread. I converted us over to einkorn flour a few years ago (only wheat varietal that has never been hybridized.) I make sourdough with it every week and use it in place of any other flour. It's a bit tricky to get used to, but it is a totally different experience than traditional American bread. It checks the fermented food box, has a higher protein and fat ratio that normal flours and is delicious!

[@Joe_C.]

"Conventional" is the term used for non-organic... Don't quite understand the second question

[@juliannewelch5854]

Occasionally I'll have wild caught salmon. I do love my fruit but I usually freeze it and eat it as a frozen treat instead of ice cream. I like getting the polythenals from dark fruits. I like to shop at my farmers market. I watch so many different doctors and each one says a bit different but Dr Mindy is one of my favorites and I also love Dr William Li. I follow a more Mediterranean diet. I can't do straight keto. My diet is way better than it used to be. The rest in the list I don't really eat. On an occasion I'll have bread with limited ingredients and it's usually sour dough bread. I just don't have it in me to be a really strict eater. I don't like all vegetables either. Something I'm learning.

What's wrong with fruit? if it's organic especially as I thought it was natrual sugar that releases differently and also has lots of nutrition.

Great video as always, Dr. Mindy! I am good with all of these (not consuming) except for canned tuna. It's a regular lunch for me a couple times a week. Ugh....I do sooooo many good healthful things for my body and blood sugar. Is this one really gonna cause suffering? Anyone have thoughts? :) Peace and light to you all!

[@DrMindyPelz]

Hello! It's great to see your dedication to health. While canned tuna is convenient, it's wise to be mindful of mercury content. Consider fresh fish or other protein sources for a balanced approach. Keep up your positive efforts! 🌟🐟

[@BluesAngel972]

I’m loosing belly fat for the first time in my life but I have to utilize wild caught tuna and salmon in order to get the benefits of protein over the side effects of mercury bc I can’t eat enough protein without those two food sources. Do what’s right for you. Dr. Mindy is sharing what is right for her! Sometimes the medical profession doesn’t realize how complicated life can be for people who need and want to be healthy and they “generalize” which can paralyze patients’ spirit! Not her, but a podcast she was on last night, the host was arrogant, dismissive, and cruel in his message that if “he can do it anyone can do it” and those who can’t do it , he implies, don’t really want to - spirit crunching as I said. And while I’m at it ranting, eat frozen fruit, mix it with Greek yogurt- good protein source. And if you like kombucha, keep it! Or, maybe make subtle changes! And, please don’t listen to just one doctor. While Dr. Mindy is my fasting favorite and is the person responsible for my belly fat loss, I have to eat a lot of Protein, Strength train, I workout on an Elliptical but no cardio, and I take other Dr’s advice and exercise and bodybuilding advice and I’m an editor of a magazine about Belly Fat while I was trying everything under the sun to lose weight. So, once day, I sat down opened up my magazine and started researching how to lose Belly Fat. Good luck with your journey!

[@melissawoodside6938]

I read that it’s only safe to eat canned tuna every 9 days due to the mercury load. My son was eating it several times a week so I did some research.

[@BluesAngel972]

@@melissawoodside6938 hey there, thanks for the comment! I mostly eat wild caught salmon but I still have to use the wild caught tuna twice a week. I detox often and I eat other meat such as grilled chicken and every now and again red meat, shrimp and salmon. I just don’t like any other protein sources and until I added protein I couldn’t lose belly fat. But it’s a miracle bc I am losing Belly Fat! It’s a miracle and doing it by eating more (protein ) during my fasting window, strength training, Elliptical workout, and throwing away all processed food. That’s it in a nutshell! I’m hoping that salmon doesn’t have as bad of a rap as tuna but with actual belly fat loss and visceral fat loss I think I’m better off doing whatever I can to keep losing belly fat. But, it’s good to be mindful of these things.

I follow a Mediterranean diet with lots of fish - either sardines, herings, or mackerel, and some seafood - locally caught from the Mediterranean sea, also nuts, seeds, no bread, ancient grains like amaranth, quinoa, flaxseed flour, almond flour, beans, lentils, local fruits and vegetables directly from local farmers. I think this is one of the best diets - it has been around for over 2000 years unlike keto, paleo, Atkinson, carnivore, etc..

I became fearful and decided to heat up some organic beef bone broth and ate a few spoonfuls and drank a few swallow of lemon water. I still feel weak and have a dull headache. I have "foam" in the urine and that is why I sense something is amiss with my kidneys. I am basically healthy and I'm not on any meds and rarely ever have been,(only when necessary) I would like a natural remedy but am ignorant to it all. I rarely ever go to the doctor and when I do,, everything is fine except my thyroid but i fear the meds so I haven't taken them. I want to take control of my health but I need a doctor to guide me.

@@MrTruthseeker1980 Thank you. I ate 1/2 of a tiny container of Chobani Zero Sugar Mixed Berry yogurt (about 5 teaspoons) about 30 minutes ago. And I washed and cut up some fresh organic (bought at Meijer grocery store late last night after work) "leafy greens" to prepare to lightly steam them in an hour. (Spinich, Mustard Greens, Purple Kale) I wrote down these steps of how to break a fast from a prior video of Dr Mindy's. And I'm trying to adhere to her advice. I was hoping to make it to 5 days to to get to the "healing" level so I could try to heal my body and "reset" it. And I remember her saying that flu like symptoms would come and to push through it, but the breathing thing made me nervous to continue the fast, ya know. So I'm trying to break it correctly. I also bought organic, grass fed and finished meat last night; a steak (for beef protien) and some chicken breast that is organic pasture raised. She suggested to space out eating these things for 1 hour. So I did the organic bone broth, waited an hour and then did the yogurt, and next I am supposed to do the lightly steamed veggies, so I'm hoping the "leafy greens" qualify for that step (if not, I have Birds Eye brand frozen trio Cali, broccoli, carrot combo in the freezer) and then I have the steak set out to get room temperature so I can cut into 3 tiny portions (1 for now, 2 for other meals) and cook a pice of that later tonight as a dinner. But I'm wondering if I should eat anything along with that beef, like a 1/4 of a potatoe, or another small portion of lightly steamed veggies, or a small salad with raw greens, cherry tomatoes I picked from my neighbors garden this morning with some baby carrots in it... I'm just so ignorant to the process ya know. I have been listening to MANY videos of Dr's about food being key to a healthy lifestyle, and I find it amazing and powerful to know what NOT to eat and how to eat, and when to eat, etc. But putting it into practice without a guide is a bit scary. So I'm hoping to find a Dr in my area who I can trust to guide me, but that is the HARD part. Not sure how to search that out. Thank you for your advice, I appreciate your time and kindness. 🙏🙂

Hi, I’m happy to share my recipe. I buy organic kernels from my local grocery store. Use a 2 qt pot with a lid. Add 3 tbsp of oil (I use either Chosen Foods Avocado oil or Organic coconut oil) over a medium high heat with 1/3 cup popcorn kernels. Cover with a lid and shake occasionally. Once you hear popping, slightly tilt the lid to vent. Once the popping slows down and you can see popcorn rising to top of the pot, turn off the flame and allow rest of kernels to pop. It tastes delicious plain. You can also top it with a few sprays of Chosen Foods Avocado Oil spray and salt. If you use butter as a topping, spoon off milk solids or use ghee instead. Enjoy!

Kombucha. I brew my own. I ferment out most of the sugar so there is only a very slight sweetness. And unlike commercial kombuchas (I imagine) it is unpasteurised so I don't believe it is a weak probiotic. Also has a ton of polyphenols because I steep the tea for 1/2 hour of more. As tea it just tastes nasty at that point but the kombucha is lovely. To make your own is easy enough once you are in the flow of it. Tip. The pellicle is not the scoby - the scoby is in the starter tea from the previous batch and the pellicle (mushroom, growth on the top) is not necessary to get going
