[@jamesstrawn6087]

The Price Foundation is on to something. They have advocated for decades for a diet that is nutritionally dense. So bone broth and organ meats are high on the list as well as densely laden dairy elements like eggs, whole milk etc. Vegetables are ok but so much fruits. They were low carb long before it was cool, but not no carb.

I used to be 389lbs. After 2 bariatric procedures im down to 215.... However, when i lost 100lbs in my own, i cut out sugar and only carbs i consumed what fruit and veg. I can tell you i only started kosing weight when i started eating more fat, some of which was saturated and fuess what, fat melted off.

[@mosesCordovero-uw5vw]

before even watching this video, my guess is that the ideal diet consists of fatty animal protein especially sardines and wild-caught salmon), low-starch vegetables (especially broccoli and Brussels sprouts), and a small amount of some kind of healthy dietary fats (such as avocados and coconut oil)

[@geraldeneirisgussin5929]

Eat real, unprocessed food. It's as simple as that. Avoid stuff that comes in boxes. Eat plants, meat, whatever you like. Cook your own food. Use butter, lard tallow, anything except seed oils. Don't eat pastries, donuts and sugary crap. Hope for the best.

Lentils were the food that in my specific case, lowered my insulin level far more than any other food i eat.

[@theskyehiker]

Just curious. How did you measure that response? Were you wearing a cgm?

[@natetalbert4289]

For me lentils increase my blood sugar quite a bit..

[@lisavisetticabello695]

The hospital gave me a little machine, that I used daily to take and measure the insulin levels in my blood. Also a few years later, I came across an article from a Doctor, who was researching foods that actually lowered insulin in blood, and from his research, it turned out lentils where the one that lowered the insulin the most.

[@YD-uq5fi]

What everyone agrees on : Avoid processed foods, seed oils, HFCS, maltodextrin, glyphosate, etc. What confusion exists : Should I be keto? WHPB? Plant based with just pasture raised eggs? The answer is that each person has to do their own testing with a CGM, blood tests, etc. to see what works for THEM, as genetic differences mean different things work for different people (and different ethnicities).

[@frankyancy1347]

Jack LaLanne did all this with results years ago.....

[@FluxNomad678]

I think the no processing food things should be clarified. I mean what about cooking for example? Desert destroy the necessary fiber in our Foods or something?

[@cheya111]

Your sweet deserts generally have no fiber. Which means they will be absorbed faster to your blood and create a glucose/insuline spike. If you eat salad (fore example) before, the absorption slows down and the sugar gets in the blood more progressively. Also from what I understand, the bacterias in our guts eat the fiber carbs, therefore some of it does not end up in the blood. Process food is commercial, they will add anything the law permit to make it tastes better with a longer shelf life. Sweet and salty is their formula, plus all the crazy chemicals we can't even pronounce. You read the label of ketchup, it is supposed to be tomato, a very simple food, but there are 30 ingredients written on it.

[@christianpetersen1782]

Processed are foods that have already been processed in a factory. Cook your own raw foods so you know what’s in them. Factories are profit driven not your-health driven. Don’t consume processed foods or any snack that will spike your insulin. Simples!

No need to get so technical. If we look at what the great majority of people in the U.S. ate in in the 1800’s when CVD, cancer and diabetes were all very low, we have the answer. They ate diet high in animal protein and saturated fat, with limited carbs.

I agree with everything this guy says except our need for fibre.

@@Soulerous- I’m confused, because on another video, Dr. Robert Lustig significantly put down The Keto Diet as being extremely unhealthy for those with a family history of high cholesterol, stating that it will only cause further high cholesterol in them. The keto diet & the Carnivore Diet are very similar, except the Keto diet allows for low carb vegetables. Both diets seem to be a high saturated fat included diet.

[@Soulerous]

@@user-zq3qd8ui5o If he's talking about people with a specific problem, then fine. I don't know the details on that. But Lustig has said that keto works, and he's not against it, in multiple videos. He has also said that most people do keto incorrectly by having too many carbs on it, and if it's done wrong, it's one of the worst diets there is, because it's high fat and medium carb.

[@peterclark6290]

'Depends on you'? If we are all 'all different' those differences would probably be in the sub 1% range if the cosmetic differences were excluded. The human diet is the Carnivore diet, because our entire system is designed for a meat eater. Ketosis is the most desirable condition. The only thing I agreed with are the comments about processed food. We do not need fibre, carbohydrates, the 400 toxins plants use to protect themselves (some of which are carcinogenic) just meat and fat, eggs, salt, water and any combination or derivative of those, e.g. bone broth, tallow, etc. Get health, get informed.

[@ClaraZilli]

Please be aware that when Lustig refers to the "vegan" diet, he actually should be saying "plant-based" diet. The term "vegan" refers to people who have excluded meat, dairy and eggs from their diet, as far as it is practical and possible, for ethical reasons, ie, for the desire not to intentionally harm animals, not for health benefits. It just so happens that a well balanced vegan diet is also a very healthy diet. It's so annoying when the plant-based crowd appropriate the word vegan. Here's the definition from the Vegan Society: "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude-as far as is possible and practicable-all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

[@maggvmay]

Low insulin diets 1. Don’t boost insulin. Low carb diets. Below 25%, know ketones, ketone meter, ketagemic diet, High fat medium carb diet. Whole hog. Second way, get insulin so,real food has fiber. Fiber by blocking early absorption, vegans and ketos, processed food. 2

I personally do not like vegans, but dr. Lustig's completely wrong about keto being antagonistic to veganism. If it was, there wouldn't be vegan alternatives to almost every recipe - what would be antagonistic to veganism on the "moral" front is the carnivore diet. What's damaging to both are the people who try to make it easier by comming up with recipes for fake bread or fake meat, both of which use extremely processed ingredients, which takes us back to the root of the problem (although you can make simple keto bread using just almond flour, coconut flour, and an egg, so that one's fine, but apparently not enough for some). On the other hand, it's almost impossible to make everything from scratch fresh on the daily if you have a fulltime job, a family, and possibly excercise, so eating real food would mean we would have to go back to one parent staying at home to take care of the family (regardless if it's the woman or the man, although that was pretty much the sole reason women stayed home until the recent decades, it's hard work to make food from scratch - feminists just hide that truth), and you can see that going about as well as shutting down fastfood joints or soda companies, or make them work with real ingredients. On a side note: whoever made those subtitles needs to go back to school, the amount of misheard typos is unbelievable - and I say that as a self-taught person who, undoubtedly, makes mistakes.

[@motrock93b]

You obviously haven't read anything Dr. Lustig has written, like "Metabolical." Just because there's a proliferation of vegan alternative recipes doesn't in any way prove they're better. It proves the keto fad is in full stride. Your suggestions for using alternatives (Almond flour) indicate you need further study on processed foods. You come off as if you know more than Dr. Lustig, and then offer proof to the contrary.
