The "HEALTHY" Foods Your Absolutely Should NOT EAT! | Max Lugavere

[@Terri_in_Cali]

My hubby and myself were keto for 3 yrs, got to our goal weights and my husband came off metformin and we have maintained our lifestyle as low careers for the last year so total carb watchers for 4 years. I buy nothing that has any type of sugar on ingredients unless it is allulose, stevia, monk fruit or Erythritol. Secondly, we use only olive oil or avocado oil as a secondary. We eat no processed food. My hubby’s health keeps us eating this way👍

[@jesusharvestlife]

Cold pressed coconut oil is good too

[@reneebarone7484]

This was a depressing eye opener. I wish my sister would watch this. Her son has been raised on fast food, sugar sweetened sodas, diet soda. I mean fast food every day. He doesn’t like any Veggie's. I’ve changed the way we eat here since I’ve been following you. My mother lives with my sister and her dementia has gotten so much worse. We rarely eat out. I grow most of our veggies but that doesn’t last the year. I wish we could regulate these companies so our food isn’t so bad here. Here I’m thinking a glass of fresh squeezed OJ is giving me health food boost. 😟 thanks for the info

[@disnalee]

Its a disease promoting foods for poor health. Eventually the body will not be able to support high carb diets then poor heath signs will result from them food choice later in life. Yeah healthy choice should start now so the big payout later would be more rewarding---disease free

[@niellalien]

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and your sister. Please send this video to them!

[@johannas.l.brushane2518]

Well, regulation only does so much. One problem is that there seem not to be sufficient time to try out new products and proceduren to make sure they're harmless. Be it food, pesticids in foodproduction. Since they mention endocrine issues there have been Huge changes in out home environment in our homes the past 50 years or so. I read an interview in the magazine for the Swedish Homeowners Association with an engineer from the Chemichal inspektion and she pointed out that it's perhaps more important to tidy Up around the floors, especially of we have kids or pets, this for residues from the antiflammables our electronics, hometextile etc are drenched in, as they evaporate they attach to dustparticles. And we havve so much syntetiska in our homes that we have several minutes less to get out in case of a fire compared to the beginning of the 1950s.

[@mrnoname2753]

I love watching these podcasts especially when I’m doing work.

[@littlevoice_11]

I also think many plant based/vegan foods are being marketed as healthy. But now there are so many highly processed, sugary, refined oil containing foods that are vegan. Previously a vegan food was literally just beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and vegetables/fruit. Sadly many people see the word "vegan" and automatically think its healthy. It's the same with "low carb/keto" and "gluten free"

[@disnalee]

I avoid sugar, seed fats, process foods, breads, and high carbs after learning that it promotes poor health.

[@potentialreality]

Max, I've enjoyed your books and podcasts. Diet is an overwhelming subject for most people. The information out there can be misleading or even deceptive. There are disagreements among well meaning experts and old adages are disproved. You are greatly helping to bring down this level of overwhelm.

Hello from, freezing, Iowa! I too love all your podcasts & all your important insights. I loved your 1st book & looking into the cookbook, we'll see. I like to add a lot of seasoning to my foods and my husband gives me grief at times. Are their bad or seasonings I should avoid? I love Spicy foods & tend to go a little overboard. Also, I have a super hard time with getting my kids to eat healthy things, good thing is that they like to eat Fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries etc... but when it comes to Veggies it's so tough... thoughts on how to get them in their bodies... what about the drinks that say their packed with Veggies? thoughts?

BBQ sauce, sauces in general (unless made yourself) - they have way too much sugar 9. commercial cereals 10. low-carb junk foods: "keto-friendly" very fat dense, little nutritional value, high-calorie dense

So, you hit me hard on the sweetened beverages. I will put the OJ away. Having said that, I have been drinking a Bruce Cost 66 calorie ginger ale which is made with real ginger and sweetened with some cane sugar and a touch of monk fruit once every couple of days. So, what you are saying is get rid of that as well? Ginger is so good for the digestive system and that's not something I would typically eat/tolerate by itself.

I'm finding the Nutrition Made Simple channel here very helpful. I think he would say that is a good breakfast. Whole foods with an emphasis on plant foods. He bases his conclusions on peer-reviewed studies and critical thinking.

[@felipearbustopotd]

Hi - Look into the GL of your mix. Bananas can be high in sugar depending on the yellowness of the fruit, so how yellow or speckled with brown spots are they?. Is your almond milk sweetened? Berries - all good. Steel-cut oats are the least processed form, whereas rolled oats, or oat flakes, undergo more processing and flattening through steel drums. 😀

[@Sublimer79]

Real whole food mostly. Avoid processed. use extra Virgin olive oil, I also use Coconut Oil. cruciferous vegetables. real foods. Basically anything that's found in nature. I like eggs Bec they have a ton of nutrition. Grass fed meats. If you eat meat. I use a lot of spices and pink salt for flavor. (Avoid spices with salt) Avoid fat free foods. They just aren't as good and often have extra sugar or something for flavor. I like full fat. Think yogurt. That often uses fat free. (Takes out the flavor) fat isn't bad in itself. That was a myth. We need fat just not unhealthy fats. Just as we don't need sugar. I avoid grapes Bec of all the sugar. I do eat kiwi, strawberry, raspberries, basically all the less sugar dense foods, and Fatty fish.

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals yeah, just keep learning.. All our bodies are different so. Best to figure out what is best for you. I used to drink a ton of smoothies. But, I found it was 2 high in sugar. So, I stopped that altogether. I personally use whey protein as supplemental for protein. Gotta watch those sugar dense fruits. I personally eat walnuts and pistachios. FOR snacks. My diet is kind of strange. I've always just winged it & made it up based on researching. Often eat the same things. Slightly varying here and there. Big on herbal and supplementing. Trial and error type stuff. Based on my trying to correct different issues over the years. Including prevention of age related health issues, eczema, sleeping problems, of course my immune system, keeping my heart healthy. Jeesh. I don't know, it any of it actually works. It's one of those things. When you do sooo much. It's hard to know which works. I know a lot don't approve of my ways of doing stuff. But, it keeps me busy. And I don't know any other way. It's basically my hobby or passion. Or whatever you want to call it. (I change what I eat, I just go through cycles) I add and subtract. I'm slowing trying to streamline. But, I'm not very organized. 😂

@@Sublimer79 The big difference is that when you post about it, it is easier to follow along and easier to find motivation from you've already tried. I would much rather read through what you wrote than listen to another doctor who sounds like the five that came before him. I think what I do wrong is still allow myself too much sugar to sneak in. That negates the days where I don't eat at all. I'm treading water at best....would like to make a little progress forward. Not as easy as I thought.

[@duststorm7287]

Frying in any oils changes the oils. It oxidizes them. Unless it's an animal oil like ghee, suet or lard. any lards today are partially hydrogenated. They are damaged too. Olive oil is cut with seed oils and all oils from plants no matter how pure start to oxidize in the bottle. The ones you mention are better than all other plant based oils but still a no go for me. I'm strict carnivore. I make sure a restaurant uses no plant based oils on my steak. Only butter or ghee for me. But better still just grill my meat with no oils.

I would say the oil being used is that matters more and how the oil is used. Restaurant oil is used and used all day molecules will do their thing leading to nasty molecules you don’t want in your system. Those same molecules were just regular old fatty acids used to cook before being put through heat punishment like that. Your kitchen cooking does not destroy the oil like that.

So much good info but wrong on fruit juice....I know few believe that God created anything but actually He knew what we need. Bad bacteria hates pineapple and pineapple juice. Fruit sugar processed differently from processed sugars. Love you both and 99.9 per cent of everything...

[@conchadeconchos]

I’m interested in that, the sugar part, I believed that as well and things like diet soda sugar is even worser because your tricking your body. But yesterday in one this guys videos he mentions all sugar are the same “carbohydrate” in the sense of how it is digested. I also thought fruit sugar was “healthy” sugar and easily digested compared to processed sugar. But upon reflection and his video technically they are the same molecule therefore producing the same effects as finding that molecules in a random box or more commonly a sugary fruit. (Btw I am talking about sugar as in “glucose” a broad definition of table sugar or aka sucrose) I don’t disagree that pineapple has anti-microbial effects, but I would say that is due to acidity of fruit itself and a combination of anti oxidants, for example lemon juice can be used like germ-x ( anti bacterial, kills then instantly. Although you’ll get sticky hands as well from sugar) But to summarize no you are not digesting fruit sugar different than the added sugar in a soda can, it is in a much less quantity while also getting the benefits of the minerals in the plants. Not to mention fiber for your gut bacteria, which was his point juicing fruit reduces fiber intake than just eating the fruit itself. I’m not sure if you miss out on the benefits tbh that point he confused me. It does not make sense to lose nutrients from separating the liquid in a fruit from the carcass of a fruit shell.
