Olive oil and avocado a rich in monounsaturated fats. It is not a good idea to generalice unsaturated fats as good fats, imo.

[@charleswhittenburg3362]

I think all the research just keeps pointing to one simple conclusion: Whole foods r good and overly processed foods r bad. Lol, obviously more nuanced than that but I think it hits the overarching idea. No need for any food religion or tribalism. Just eat more whole foods and find the ones you love to cook and eat with your family.

[@mgib1325]

The problem with doing a " diet " is that it infers an end goal to stop at. That is why I like Keto with fasting, it is a lifestyle, not a temporary state. It is easy to do, and has massive, objective and very importantly , subjective results.

[@aaronwright7266]

​​@@mgib1325 A diet is a way of eating. That simple. You can call it a lifestyle if it tickles your fancy. And your objective results for long-term health may not be ideal. But everyone has the freedom to eat how they like.

[@mgib1325]

@aaronwright7266 very true. Let's face it, if you can cut out all the processes foods that the industry has people hooked on, then you are already making a massive impact on your help. From the food industry, to Dr.s , to health insurance to pharma, the entire US medical system is just one big money making scam. Add in things like FDA approving low fat , high sugar ( carb) diet, then it is tough for people to know what is best.

[@paulmr6667]

Probably the most confusing thing is saturated fat. We have half of the doctors on youtube saying saturated fat is good then half of them saying saturated fat is bad. It is REALLY difficult to decide who is right.

[@yummymealsss]

Good point! Same with meat!

[@Fearzero]

Saturated animal fat is very bad long term, in any amount. Certain saturated plant fats like stearic acid in cocoa are healthy. The doctors saying saturated animal fats are good are confused by studies that are extremely flawed. These studies pit saturated animal fats vs margarine or mineral oil but describe them as seed oils. A blatant lie. Margarine is completely a processed food over 90 percent trans fats. There isn't one study out there that doesn't show saturated animal fats to be significantly worse for the heart than polyunsaturated fats which are from plants and actually healthy. I've read them all.

[@semi-mojo]

This is why you have to be careful about who you get your information from. If you dont want to get your hands dirty and directly read the literature, then you need to develop a strong sense of someone's credibility, aswell as an idea of what the "totality" of current evidence tends to. People who speak in absolutes are people you should ignore. All in all, relatively low amounts of saturated fat in your diet will likely be fine, higher amounts will likely lead to worse health outcomes. This varies from person to person too.

[@robertwhite2449]

​@@Fearzero you indicate stearic acid is healthy 'plant' fat, but it's also one of the most abundant fatty acid in red meat as well.

I have one kidney(one was removed due to birth defect at age 22) and take 40mg listinopril for blood pressure. My potassium is always high and my blood pressure runs 135/80. I have a right bundle branch block and partial left bundle branch block with thousands of ectopic beats a day already. I really wish I could eat lots of veggies and fruits a day but have to keep most of them at lower consumption so as to keep my potassium intake moderate to low. I am 69yo. I think everyone should understand that eating too much potassium is NOT always a good thing. Some of us could have dangerous consequences from a high potassium diet.

[@jakubchrobry3701]

Potassium is not a problem for people without hyperkalemia. This is why people should get their blood tested annually or every couple of years. The standard metabolic panel includes blood potassium. I eat 8 to 10 grams of potassium each day, while my sodium is below 1.5 g/day. My last blood test showed my K level at 4.5 mmol/L, Na at 139 mmol/L, and Cl at 100 mmol/L.

There's so many studies though. Others can cite studies showing otherwise. I trust Longo more on protein, he's qualified in carrying out studies, and does it full time, all his life, not just a practising GP. All Brad states here to support more protein is an associative study. Which is easily subject to reverse causation. Bigger muscles are very often the result of people who exercise a lot, are already healthy, can move. Every animal tested lived longer with reduced protein (but not too low). All the blue zones ate a low protein diet. Best to read Longo's book, not trust a random video.

I struggled to try and lose weight for 8 solid years of actively trying to lose weight even with being very physically active. 10 mile walks, 20 mile bike rides, working all day on my feet I was still 250 pounds. I ended up to 320 lbs at 25 years old. I started fasting, got rid of sugar, cut carbs, got better sleep, and transitioned to getting rid of processed foods. I'm now 29 years old, and under 220 lbs, still reaping benefits. When I want to lose a few pounds, I go a few days without eating. Fasting and going low carb definitely helped me jump start my health transformation. I'm not afraid of carbs though. I did up my protein intake over this last year given the conversations with protein.

[@fuzonzord9301]

The main problem with weight loss is that is that the body fat is a survival mechanism. It stores energy for periods of food insecurity. Weight loss is basically a massive long term caloric deficit, which basically means subjecting organism to food insecurity stress. So natural thing for the organism is to try to gain more fat stores as a buffer for such events. Hence it will do things like slowing down metabolism or using survival-level hunger signals to get one to eat above maintenance. Stuff like eating more protein and refeeds just delay it, not prevent it. Also, it's not just a question of weight regain. A big problem is hitting the wall with weight loss long before getting out of obesity. Like yeah there are always these people in the comments who show up and talk about losing all excess weight and maintaining after changing their diet, usually to keto or low carb in general, but the problem is that they aren't the norm. Like there are people with ED who can literally starve themselves to death but most of people with ED are overweight, not underweight.

[@anon8633]

Completely disagree, eat foods that improve metabolic processes and make the mitochondria more effective.

[@drewmalone]

high fiber and high protein has been my diet-it’s pretty hard to overeat if you try to hit both as foods high in one or the other are very satiating

[@JadaRose880]

Excellent information. Just curious are you familiar with the work of the NZ based neurologist Dr. Matt Phillips who has been running trials on many neurological disorders such as Parkinsons, Dementia and Brain Cancer. He is focused on the mitochondria and encourages Omad and a Carnivore diet. His trials have been showing a decrease in symptoms. Based on his work I think the focus should be on metabolic health and fasting as the primary way to achieve long lasting health.

Salt is a problem if you have hypertension, Sodium retension is caused by hyper insulinemia. Removing the salt is just treating a symptom, maybe we should focus on the cause.

[@Aww58-qt7xd]

Excellent video again Dr Brad. Thankyou😊

[@Sophal27]

The problem with many of these studies is focusing primarely on weight loss, it is only one factor but not the best criteria of measuring metabolic health. It would be much relevent to track fasting insulin, TG/HDL ratio or waist circumference. I agree the adherence problem is very important, that"s why we should not do "diets" but rather understand the causes of bad health and change our life style accordingly.

Well, a couple of things are misstated. The graph for salt shows a U shape, so 'low salt' should be 'proper salt.' The other item involves confounding among unsaturated fats. MUFA and omega-3 fats, sure, but there is growing evidence that omega-6 fats need to be limited. As for saturated fats, their vilification is gradually coming unwound, so it is too early to commit. Other than these points, the presentation is more objective and spot-on than the norm, by far.

Hi Dr. Brad. If I am not mistaken your are conducting a study on rapamycin, so that means that you hope that lowering mTor helps for longevity. Now you say that we should keep leucine high. I am kind of confused.

[@Greg_Chock]

Transient spikes of mTor is not to be avoided and actually needed to build muscle.

[@eaappell]

Exercise actually lowers mTor, while you're exercising. Then eating protein with some carbs spikes mTor to build muscle. mTor is best thought of as a spring that is activated & deactivated. Folks should think of 'cycling' mTor, not permanently activating or deactivating it.

I also consume lean meats. It has been helping and yes, my desire for salt is decreasing. It’s easy to fail however I’m sticking to it because I’m tired of bouncing around from diet to diet. I also picked up a low dose multi, like you said and I notice that my fingernails are growing in now without ridges, so I was missing some kind of nutrients and this low-dose multi solved that, and probably helping other body processes within that were stressed as well. I think we also have to keep an eye on total caloric intake per day because in my experience if I go over 1,200 calories per day, I will not lose any weight. But that’s me, and we each have to adjust accordingly. I’ve lost 5 pounds this month.

I think protein balance and salt balance is the key. Your output in terms of exercise will decide how much of these you need. If you're not resistance training/exercising then excess protein will lead to gluconeogenesis and be used for energy. If you're doing a lot of cardio/sweating, you need sufficient salt. I wouldnt recommend blanketly reducing salt intake. Have some salt, exercise and sweat as much as possible, and monitor your blood pressure. Im popping salt tablets on my longer runs for example.

[@SlamminGraham]

With regard to salt, a lot of people don't realize that a little salt goes a long way because salt is strong. Reduce your salt usage to 25-35% of what you use now, and try it. It will taste almost the same.

[@nikokallio8650]

This is good summary. In medical fielt protein supplements are recommended for elderly whereas some Japanese retrospective studies show that Japanese who consume meat, milk products, alcohol and sugary stuff in moderate way live longer. Also other studies suggest that in humans protein intake of 0,75-1 g/weight in kiloes could be superior to high protein intake what comes to longevity. Theory is that protein cause aging in DNA and cell level.

[@karl3630]

When a study was done on centenarians (people who lived 100+ years) they had nothing in common as far as food intake was concerned, they all consumed varied good wholesome food including meat, fish, dairy and eggs. The native Americans sometimes consumed a diet almost 90% bison meat and and had some of the longest longevity rates in the world, it has nothing to do with meat. the centenarians only had one thing in common LOW BLOOD SUGAR! So long as your diet consists of good wholesome food including meat (esp. red meat), fish, dairy and eggs (no processed rubbish esp. sugar) and you avoid carbs (esp. refined carbs) and seed oils you will have NO issues!

[@Alan_Clark]

Frequent eating and high carbs combine to produce insulin resistance, which is behind so many diseases - diabetes, dementia, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, erectile disfunction, cancer, cataracts, and others.

[@MikeBenet-s9f]

1) Foods high in refined sugar spike insulin which increases body fat, activates Mtor, and increases inflammation. 2)Increased protein intake as you suggested is the name of the game BUT NOT from animal sources. Why? because the animal fat (which is saturated fats) increases bodily inflammation which then damages cells, increases oxidation and accelerates the aging process. So eat plant based protein to get the protein intake you need (which has the healthy unsaturated fats) and without the inflammation that comes from animal fat. There!!

Hello Dr Brad I have seen many times that inhibiting mTOR is supposed to be a way to boost longevity. However, a high protein diet preserved your muscle mass and probably only does so by activating mTOR to stop catabolism. This suggests that a high protein may not be good for lifespan as it doesn't inhibit mTOR. What do we do? Am I missing something?

7:58 The graph suggests that ideally you should consume no salt at all, but if you do then you will certainly die because salt is an essential nutrient.

G’day Brad, thanks for another informative video. I have a silly point, to point out. At about 9:40 you have a list of fundamentals. One of them is high protein (1.6g per kg). I know this refers to lean body weight, but perhaps there are people who don’t, so they end up possibly even doubling what they should have. So perhaps place in the bracket “based of lean body weight” A question, what is your opinion about the health value, regularity of consumption etc. for vital wheat protein ? It’s now an hour after I left the comment. I’m watching your other diet video called “be healthier than 99.7% of people”…. You stated the protein requirement is based from lean body weight. Golly you are quick

[@ricguers]

My question is, does this weight-based protein intake ratio apply to all body type? I mean, slender, average and overweight people? It does not make much sense to me that two people weighing the same, however one being short and overweight and the other one being tall and slender, should require the same amount of protein. It would make more sense if that calculation were done on the person's ideal weight for their body stature. How does the amount of accumulated fat relates to protein consumption? Again, excellent video! Too bad Microvitamins are a😂vailable here in Brazil!

You don't need 1.6 g/kg/day to build muscle for longevity. This is to maximize muscle, as in young bodybuilders (see research by Brad Schoenfeld). For longevity we want to gain or maintain muscle over LONG periods of time, not short periods ASAP. Just like the evidence is weak that this much protein is detrimental, the evidence is also weak that this much protein is beneficial. Personally, I error on the side of caution where I can still easily build muscle. That's 1.2 g/kg of protein or even less. I can squat 275 lbs at age 60 while being tall and lean (6' 2", 185 lbs). Consistent resistance training is the key. Period. No shortcuts.

I think here the benefit suggested is low term weight loss, ie protein helps with satiety. As for RT I agree 100% , as 59 year old started going to gym this year, when from less than 1 pullups to nearly 9 ( if well rested for a few days , probably more if neutral grip as much easier ) . As for squats don't know as will never do deadlifts or squats as too technical for me ( ie not worth the paid off. Just watching a few videos is BS to me ) So use hack machine , one leg press ( apparently safer than using 2 ) , farmer carries , RDL with kettlebell, lunges and bulgarian squats . Glute Drive and some leg curl machines. On the Hack machine if I want to do say 10 plus reps then add 50Kg to it. If I want some extra up it to say 80Kg . I do full un-assisted squats. Could probably do more, but not going there for quite awhile. i want compete injury free training. Just want to build a huge strength reservoir for when 70 , 80 or 90. Don't really want to bulk up - So after say 6-months will maybe move to callenthistics strength , flexibility and movement more

I'm rather smaller guy at 71kg and 168cm, if I eat less than 2g / kg lean bodyw, I feel no power and muscle mass goes down. I think we should find our own body type and what is best. Not all are the same

[@jakubchrobry3701]

​@@mikecar52 Are you claiming that you will lose muscle (or at least not be able to gain muscle) if you consume under 1.6 g/kg of protein while resistant training? I don't care what people say. That's an appeal to authority. I care what the research shows. Please provide studies, not YT videos. I already know the opinion of Brad Schoenfeld and it's consistent with what I wrote. That's why I referenced him. You're also creating a strawman. Did you even read what I wrote? In your Layne Norton refererence, Layne explicitly states _"individuals trying to maximize the skeletal muscle adaptations to training."_ It's *MAXIMIZE.* Also. Layne Norton is not concerned with *LONGEVITY.* Layne states exactly what I said, young bodybuilders need at least 1.6 g/kg to maximize muscle. I'm concerned with *LONGEVITY* in people over 50, not young people trying to maximize muscle in their 20s. Not too many 20 year olds care about longevity and not too many elderly people care about winning bodybuilding competitions. Know your audience. The Rhonda Patrick videos you provided were not about longevity. This Brad Stanfield video is about longevity. What is the *OPTIMAL" amount of protein for someone over 50 to live the longest in the best health (i.e. healthspan)? My opinion is that it's 1.2 g/kg while trying to maintain muscle (typical). And it's okay to bump it up to 1.6 g/kg if someone loses muscle after an illness (atypical). Did you watch the Brad Schoenfeld video? Rhonda Patrick said she's having a hard time getting her Dad up to 1.2 g/kg and a more difficult time getting him to resistant train. This a recipe for disaster to recommend to the elderly general population to eat these extreme amounts of protein when it's unlikely that they will consistently resistant train. How do you think they'll try to get the protein? Red meat and protein powders?

What you didn't mention when talking about keeping the weight off is that many people medicate with food [1] [2]. They have something in their life that they don't want to deal with, or are afraid to confront, a small t or big T trauma. Whenever it seems like they are going to think about it and make themselves feel bad, they reach for something to eat to distract themselves. There are lots of ways to deal with those subconscious issues, either by yourself [3] or with the help of a professional. A lot of these issues come from childhood, when we were ignorant of life and just developing our ego. Our defenses were low, and we often imprinted with conclusions that were erroneous. The subconscious is the gatekeeper of our self, our beliefs and values, so it can't change itself directly. That way lies madness. I like a technique called EFT (emotional freedom technique) for dealing with these, I prefer self help, but there are professionals. There are officially sanctioned methods like CBT (it shares some of the concepts from EFT, but gives them different names and academic imprimatur). Dialectical therapy seems to get high approval from users. If you are a closet masochist, you could try exposure therapy. Hypnotherapy is another one. All effective therapy is basically waking hypnosis, a dialog between the conscious (yours or the professional's) and the subconscious. A fun one is to keep a dream diary. A technological one is to use brainwave entrainment. If you are agnostically spiritually inclined, you could look up 'The Work of Byron Katie); the technique she developed is free, and has a lot of fans. 1. Smoking is another way to distract. Most people who quit smoking gain weight after they quit, at least for a while, because they replace the cigarettes with food. 2. Food has lots of positives as a medicine. It is socially acceptable, it is readily available, it is (relatively) cheap, and it is associated with positive memories (in general). Almost every holiday has a big meal of some kind as part of the celebration. 3. Self help is not for everyone. If you are the kind of person who does a lot of introspection, it will probably work for you. If you aren't that type of person, you will struggle. In the Myers-Briggs typing system, three or more of I or N or F or P probably OK. Three or more of E, S, T, or J probably going to have troubles. But, if you are using a free technique, it only costs your time to try it, and you can prove me wrong 🙂. EFT has lots of free training videos available online, even here on youtube. If you are going to watch any of them after the basic technique, I recommend the one of the 'EFT to the Palace of Possibilities' as it elucidates the paradigm. You don't have to believe the paradigm for it to work. In fact, when I first started using it, I was using it incorrectly and it still worked. 😙

Do people know of a quick healthy breakfast? I was doing oatmeal and eggs for a while but it made me feel sluggish. I love toast and gives me energy but i know its not good for me. Should i just eat fruit? I noticed if i skip breakfast i dont have the energy to exercise later in the day.

Just oatmeal without the eggs? Make it with water, add some fruit to it? Or something like Huel?

Agree with everything except the salt. We should not restrict salt intake according to the book "The salt fix".

[@sparenn9070]

I think it's important to point out that saturated fat research is not so qualitative starting with the FFQ, if you include as saturated fat hot dogs, burgers with fries of course it will be bad. But high quality meat of animal sources? Not so sure. Keeping apoB in check while consuming saturated fat is likely safe for CVD. Anyway, I would say more research is needed here and personally I will eat red meat from time to time, taking into account the cooking

Whatever diet helps you limit calories. That's it, that's always been it. If you want to add in long-term health on top of simple weight loss, its gets a bit more difficult.

Leucine vs Isoleucine, a mouse recently lived longer by restricting Isoleucine. So, the Leucine/Isoleucine ratio might be important.
