The film traces the origins of our beliefs about healthful and unhealthful food. Experts from all over the world talk about the problems as well as short and long term solutions. Among the many experts in the film are authors like Gary Taubes, Mark Sisson, and Melanie Warner. Medical doctors such as David Perlmutter M.D., David L. Katz, and Timothy Noakes share insights that are certain to challenge the status quo.
Carb-Loaded: A Culture Dying to Eat is a chronicle of the things it's writer and director Lathe Poland learned after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He sought to find out why he got sick, because he didn't fit the classic picture of an adult onset diabetes sufferer. He quickly learned that much of what he knew about healthy eating was based on myths or fifty year old science. In the film he searches out why Americas modern food culture is killing us. The upside? There is a lot that can be done!

People did not do this! The public ate as they always had. Fatty foods in large amounts with bags of sugar eg doughnuts, You cannot believe that people only ate carbohydrate. Flour was processed carbohydrate which people only consumed with fat eg croissant, buns, pastry. Just because people made low fat foods does not mean people ate it. Schools always buy the cheapest not the best food. Kids prefer chips so that is what they ate. The government subsidised corn to feed cattle and chickens. Corn syrup was useful to ensure profits from any surplus.

[@LinusBerglund]

That is what people already do. Most people don't know what the recommendations say. Well, I do: Do not eat refined grains. Eat whole grains. Chose beans, fish and chicken over other meats. Fill your plate with at least 50% veggies and fruit. Vegetables should be the hearty colourful kinds. Kale, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, carrots, beets. Get no more than 5-10% of your energy from saturated fat, and about 30% of your energy from fat. These are almost universal in the world, and lie close to the pattern prescribed by Ancel Keys, and it is probably the diet most associated with longevity and heart health. Nobody does this. This "documentary" makes it seem like the recommendations are the problem, but that is clearly not the case. Adherence is well below 10%. Don't trust a documentary that only interviews low carb folks and presents a sensationalist one-sided view. They didn't even interview anyone at the USDA, which is mind-boggling considering the claims.

"Check with your doctor before changing your diet" is a double edged sword if your doctor is also utilizing old knowledge based on flawed studies.

[@Battleborn357]

Exactly, this is the problem with "consulting" your doctor. They just want to throw a pill @ you instead of solving the issue.

[@astrinymris9953]

At one point in the video (or was it the special features?) a dietician pointed out that they aren't trained to analyze the science in their profession; they're taught to parrot the low fat high carb doctrine based on Ancel Keys's flawed research. According to Robert Lustig, doctors are trained the same way. He actually had a PhD in biochemistry so he knew that insulin was the fat accumulation hormone and how the metabolic pathways worked. But after he went to medical school he literally forgot this and accepted the medical dogma of "Calories in, calories out" and "Eating fat makes you fat". I wonder if the sleep deprivation and constant exposure to groupthink played a role in that?

[@lauren8627]

When they get ZERO nutritional training it's absolutely bizarre to consult a GP before changing your diet. It's like seeing a dentist for your foot problem.

They say this so they don't get sued, it's that simple. If somebody accidently fucked up themselves up with their advice without saying this, that might happen, but saying to "ask your doctor" alleviates this.

I stumbled across this documentary about four years ago now, and it absolutely changed my life. In about ten months, through an increased focus on what I ate and increased exercise, I lost about fifty pounds, and have kept it off to date. I had been trying to lose weight for maybe ten years prior, but nothing ever stuck. These days I have way more energy and have gone from struggling to run a couple kms to running ultramarathons. To the filmmakers, if you ever happen to see this, thanks for helping change my life.

I used to follow a whole-foods, high-carbohydrate vegan diet and I over time I began to notice what I assume were many pre-diabetic symptoms. I felt tired all the time, particularly after eating. I eventually got into a habit of having to sleep after lunch because I physically couldn't keep myself awake. My vision became blurry, again, more noticeable after eating a heavy carbohydrate meal. I feet became numb and I noticed tingling sensations. I couldn't focus, I couldn't think straight and occasionally I became quite disoriented. I was constantly hungry. I was only 21 years old, and I was super lean. I appeared to be physically healthy looking from the outside. I exercised regularly. I never saw a doctor about this. I did my research and now I practise daily intermittent fasting and follow a still whole foods lower-carbohydrate, higher fat diet. I fast throughout the day and eat in the evening. It has totally transformed my life. I have sustained energy I never had before, I can stay focussed through the whole day and I am 1000x more productive, and I never get hungry. I don't have to worry about food all day. I can't believe I was so sick for so long without even realising. It defies 'common sense' logic. Carbs = energy. Eat three meals a day with snacks in-between. Stay away from fats. Yeah right. All of my symptoms were blood sugar and insulin related. I believe I was killing myself.

You can buy fast and healthy. You just have to plan a bit. You have to wash and measure and chop all the food when you get home. Kids should ABSOLUTELY be right there in this. They'll be more likely to eat healthy if they helped grow it, wash it and measure it. I buy bean burgers and cooked grass fed hamburgers. Cut them in half and assume full calories for the whole thing, or assume 25% addition. I also like nutritional yeast. It has lots of B vitamins and tastes great on eggs or salads. Kind of a nutty flavor. If you plan your next meal ahead, you'll eat a ridiculous amount fewer calories. Like 70% fewer. Apples are like 100 calories. I'd assume the huge ones are like 200, same as sumo oranges or a few Cutie mandarins. Avocados are high far, BUT you should be ok, assuming you assume it's 300 per fruit and guess high. If you mix things like beans or seeds/nuts with a bit of corn in say, polenta, you'll have a complete protein. Key is MEASURE IT, and assume high. On polenta, it's like 100g so I used like 80g and assumed a full load of calories. Italians (it was a poor person's food back in Italy) put butter on it, but you can easily get by with a tiny bit of olive oil used in the breakfast pan with an egg or maybe a few scoops of low-salt chili with beans. I've found you can add salt all you like, but packaged stuff is REALLY high in salt. Ramen is about the WORST, at 1,700 mg! That's RIDICULOUS. You'd be a million times better off with a bit of bone broth you made, a little cream cheese or butter and the TINIEST bit of the flavor pack. Maybe even break it in half. I personally have to be very careful with too much fat/meat. It bothers my stomach A LOT. I always guess high calories (add 25%) and lower the portion to cover any discrepancies. Use smaller white or blue plates and spoons. If it contrasts with your food colors, you'll eat less. You could even buy green salad bowls to eat more of that. I buy Irish, grass fed butter in little plastic containers. Then I use those to measure fruit (140g at around 100 calories). I bet kids would LOVE the tiny boxes. I do. Lol. I also leave butter, ice cream and all that stuff at my father's. I can always go get it , but 90% of the time, i don't. Lol. I'm.a bread addict. With butter. That gets frozen and hidden if I have to have it at home. You can freeze butter, no problem. A food scientist told me that. You CAN'T freeze soft cheese like brie, cream cheese and so on. The more of an annoyance it is to get it., the less you'll eat.

I am 66. I used to be morbidly obese according to two medical doctors, and was plagued with several other chronic health conditions. In short, had become insulin resistant and was in a stage of poor metabolic health. Two years ago, i began eating differently. I began an aggressive style of intermittent fasting by eating just one big meal per day. I cut out all sugars, including most fruits from my diet. I also stopped eating all highly processed junk 'foods', and drastically reduced my carb intake - no more breads, cereals, pastas, etc. A typical meal consisted of a variety of steamed fresh organic, non GMO veggies from local farmers and local markets supplied by the same local farmers. I also have a serving of high quality meat protein also coming from mostly local free range farms. I also use a good amount of herbs and spices and healthy fats with my meals. After just two months of eating this way, i lost about 60 pounds of excess fluids and body fat with no increase in physical activity or exercise. And very soon after that some real magic began happening. All those chronic health conditions that plagued me for decades just started reversing - going away. No more fatty liver condition. No more pre-diabetes symptoms. No more occasional high blood pressure. The edema - swelling in the feet and lower legs was gone. And with the edema gone the occasional chronic infections called cellulitis never returned. The peripheral neuropathy - pain in my feet from nerve damage was gone. Even my COPD symptoms from decades of smoking subsided. No more chronic cough, wheezing and shortness of breath. And i still smoke on a modest level. Imagine that. Even my teeth and bones got stronger, and my testosterone levels improved. I am healthier and stronger than i was 10 years ago. It is almost like aging in reverse! I use absolutely no pharmaceutical product - prescribed or over the counter for any reasons whatsoever. This video is amazing, and it came out about six years ago. I wish i knew six years ago what i learned two years ago. I would probably be even better off than i am now. But better late than never. I have been spreading freely what i have learned with whoever will listen. If you are struggling with weight and health issues, give intermittent fasting and eat real foods a try. If i can do it at my age, chances are, you can do it too. Best wishes to everybody who took the time to read my little rant, and to those who did not.

As a diabetic I was MORTIFIED when my new doctor was suggesting I eat a higher carb diet even when I told her that being Low carb is what initially improved my blood work and weight three years ago. Apparently I'm still doing it wrong and I need to go back on higher carb lower fat even though my blood work sugar and weight are great. For several visits she was on me to swap diets and I finally asked her why and she says bc the guidelines say this and I'm like yeah but they are wrong and any time I try to follow them I feel like crap. She says I'm just not doing it right or I need to give it time. I respond with why on Earth should I stop doing what has worked steadily for years and swap back to something that I know for a fact doesn't work and try to force the thing that doesn't work to try to work?

When I was a social worker I had hispanic immigrant families who were REALLY poor, and I was surprised that they were not obese and eating completely unhealthy. They explained me that eating healthy and cheap was possible but required cooking, time, and organizing your time. They got together with other families to share memberships of Cotsco and BJs; they also would buy different things on different places such as fruits and vegetables on Trader Joes or local markets; packaged foods in Cotsco; etc; and they would cook 3 times a week for their families. These were families from central America that still had the habit of cooking at home and were trying their best to preserve their cooking habits.

Diabetes runs on both sides of my family. But no one is fat. We did have the big belly syndrome. So if you looked at me you would think I’m normal weight. But my waist was 6 inches more than it was when I was in my 20s. Went onLCHF2 years ago. I lost 35 pounds no longer have diabetes no longer have high blood pressure and no longer have acid reflux. I lost those 6 inches off my waist because that’s where the fat seems to be accumulating. I was never extremely muscular but I never lost any of that muscle that I had with keto. I am working out and I’m building muscle. I look healthy I feel healthy at all my blood labs come back with perfect results. I eat as much as I want and still maintain the same weight without even trying. That’s one of the biggest things about keto compared to veganism. You will lose weight with veganism no doubt but you also lose a lot of muscle and it keeps coming off. Keto stoped the hunger urges so I don’t gain weight and I don’t lose weight. In other words my body has stabilized. My last meal is around 8 o’clock at night and I don’t have snacks because I’m not hungry. My first meal of the day is around 11 because I don’t feel that hungry. I was very insulin resistant. Insulin is the main thing that keto controls and helps bring back to normal. Carbs are sugar and if you’re insulin is not working properly that sugar remains in your system hence diabetes. I’m 68 and in better shape than I was in my 30s. Acid reflux which I suffered with for two decades and just was told to take pills by specialists disappeared within two weeks of starting keto. I haven’t even had heartburn in two years. And my weight and waist is down to where I was in my 20s. How people demonize keto is beyond me. How Can something that cures all your ills makes you feel better and look better be harmful?

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Facts. I've never seen a single ad anywhere for the quality foods I bought while experimenting with Keto. I had to research and find THEM. I made sure to only buy the healthiest food so I couldn't chalk any bad results up to poor quality food. Food is a BIG business and means of making money, but, it can also be an art and a labor of love for some smaller companies. They charge more and barely advertise because it all goes to quality. I've never seen an ad for my local small organic farm or butcher shop. But, Big Macs are on billboards.

After getting type two diabetes after a drastic weight gain, I tried everything to lower my weight. Nothing worked until I cut out 90% of my carbs , I now eat bigger portions, atleast 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, I have consistantly lost 2lb a week, I have now lost 50lb+ , I still have a way to go until I reach a healthy weight, but wow do I feel good since I cut out carbs. Breakfast cereal is so bad for you that within a week of stopping eating them I could feel the difference.

I didn't fully explain my process, I use smaller plates, and have changed the ratio of veg, carb and protein, I use low fat proteins such as turkey and some fish. Yes I eat about 10 portions of fruit and veg a day but I try and make it 10 portions of different fruits and veg. I have also made an effort to only indulge in complex carbs.

Talking about high fructose corn syrup: When my sister and I were born (her in 1956, me in 1960) formula was not widely available and our mother refused to breastfeed because it had fallen out of favor in that era. The formula consisted of canned Evaporated Milk, mixed with water and a tablespoon of corn syrup ......I'm shocked we didn't die. I was always skinny though, but how did we even get the right nutrients? Smh.

Ultimately we don't need any carb consumption, many of the so-called good foods in the form of vegetables also carry issues with eating them. There is a reason carbs are not listed as essential. We can manufacture glucose as we need it from protein.

[@marcdaniels9079]

FALLACY 101. Not being essential is not the same as not being healthy, useful and highly desirable. Consumption of fibre is correlated with a 27 % reduction in all cause mortality. Carry on with you extremism but you will ultimately suffer because we have something called SCIENCE done by smart people.

[@DanielPembrink]

If you want to go to the extreme with good and nice health consider keto diet or even more extreme variant of it and that is carnivore diet. The way I see it fruit and vegetables should be eaten in moderation, they should never "dominate" you plate. They should be seen and considered as a nutritional supplement to your base food when you need it. The keto/carnivore is also a good way to "reset" your body and you can later after like 2-4 weeks with that diet start reintroducing ingredients/ food you were eating before. Thereby see and feel how they affect you individually. The human body only truly needs fat, protein and a reasonable amount of vitamin and minerals to work properly as that kind of diet is what humans have lived off from throughout the majority of human history. If that diet got us here to this point then that means it is actually working well and is successful.

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

There is definitely a lot of false information out there, and more "opinions" than facts, i find that frustrating as well and it takes patience to get to the truth of anything. However starting this young you have a huge advantage! I know i took my health for granted as a youth, and became seriously ill as an adult before realizing i could empower myself with my own research. What i do is try to find unbiased neutral sources that don't slant the information. For examples vegans may have incentive to say meat is bad for you, or pharmaceutical companies might rather profit from pills then heal with food. It's best to find someone stating facts in an unbiased, unemotional way and providing sources and studies to back things up. However many studies can also be misleading so learning the difference with "sample size" "double-blind testing" "peer reviewed studies" "correlation vs causation" these are skills that will better help you determine the validity of research. I also like to check multiple sources to look for consistency. You sound smart and i'm sure you'll do just fine! Lately i have been researching the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. Almost sickening now to see how healthy fats were removed from food and replaced with sugar. The amount of sugar hidden in food is making so many people sick. Anyway you sound like you have the perfect balance of open-mindedness, willingness to learn, and skepticism. That will serve you well in life.

I think the concept of food is one of the major culprits of this pandemic. When interviewed people in this documentary consider burgers popcorn pizzas and whatnot as food. I think for them to think that, it goes beyond the tastiness of these foods. It also has to do with the instant gratification these foods bring. They’re fast and effortless and cheap. But for someone who cooks 95% of the time, I’m not so sure if I agree with the cheap part. I would have to spend at least $7 at a fast food place to get the amount of food to make me feel full while I could just fix myself a nice healthy filling meal for under $3 at home. It will have to take a fundamental change in how people think about and look at food to stop the pandemic.

[@sonnymajeskekastberg5875]

Cutting off sugar, starch and high carb products 1 year ago including only eating once a day, has brought me so much joy. I honestly feel that I've been reborn. No more discomfort, so much clarity, clean skin, nice looking body and no ups and downs in my energy level during the day.

Im trying fasting and IF and sometimes one meal a day, I have a question How do you manage to fit it into your social schedule? I much as I plan for the next day, sometimes something unexpected comes up. Did you do one meal a day everyday for a year or did you have days you ate "normal"?

Diagnosed pre-diabetic . I'm six foot three 155 lb which is considered underweight. I only have 12% body fat. Im thin and fit and have always been. This confounded my doctors why I would be pre-diabetic with fatty liver. In addition I'm a lifetime vegetarian. It confounded me as well which is why I began to do tons of research. I've been on the keto diet now for 2 months due to my research. No more sugar, including from fruits, or processed foods. I am no longer pre-diabetic. The results point to all the low fat foods and high sugars that was eating. Now I'm eating high-fat no sugar and my body corrected. What I discovered was all the low-fat vegetarian foods was super laden and with sugars which was causing me to have fatty liver.

Just today at the grocery store I was trying to find some thin-sliced meat without added sugar. ALL of the thin-sliced meat I looked at had added sugar, usually in the form of corn syrup. I would try a deli, but it's even harder to figure out just what is in it. To make matters worse, manufacturers are making "serving sizes" ridiculously small on the label and they round grams. If there is 0.4 grams of sugar in a "serving", they will just say it has 0 grams. If the serving size is ridiculously small and you end up eating "ten servings", that's a lot of sugar. Then, of course, a lot of people don't realize that protein spikes insulin. So you don't want to be consuming too much of it either. The only real food that seems good for the body is fats. Of course, we need some protein. So, a low-carb, high-fat, moderate-protein diet is probably the healthiest.
