I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded to watch this video again

We should be feeding the starving lions in Africa our politicians.

My mom grew up in an agrarian village in rural Greece, so i know what my ancestors had been eating for hundreds (or thousands) of years. My mom's family ate one chicken from the flock per week. They foraged herbs and leafy greens. They had potatoes, olive oil, and goat cheese year around. They only slaughtered goats as the herd size allowed. So not often. They had fruiting trees too. Almonds, figs, citrus, and of course olives. They did not have cane sugar. "Dessert" was a fig with an almond in it.

Our ancestor's diet depended more on the season than our current diets. We have access to food that is grown thousands of miles away at its peak of freshness or packaged to last months.

Switched to full carnivore after 40yrs of eating like a normal person. Took a while but I feel way better. Gained muscle and lost internal and external fat.

I did a sort of keto for 7 months. I avoided processed food and drink and tried to keep carbs less than 25g per day. My only Achilles heel was alcohol. I switched to vodka soda from my go to rum and Coke. I did minimal exercise but did walk for at least 3000 steps per day. Sometimes 3000, sometimes 10k or 20k per day (made and effort to move around a lot more). I didn’t specifically exercise or do a lot of cardio. I ate almost exclusively what grew in the ground or what came from an animal (tried to stick to organic meats, not ones pumped full of steroids). I completely cut out anything with high fructose corn syrup in it. I lost around 75 lbs in those 7 months, and after I was done with that “experiment,” whenever I ate anything processed like fast food it made me feel extremely ill and was a guaranteed trip to the toilet. That was 4 years ago and I’ve kept all but 8 lbs of it off. I still enjoy food a lot and did during that entire time, just not processed garbage. It changed my life, honestly, and I feel much better today.

Archeologist here! The Paleo "Diet" really focuses on muscle meat and while Proteins are essential for physiological needs, what is often overlooked is how much organ meat was eaten at any given time. Only in the last 40 something years we stopped eating organ meats and bone marrow in favor of muscle meats. Also the nutrient density and fibre content in modern vegetables and fruit are VASTLY different than in the paleolithic era. So the Paleo Diet is just another trend that is followed. But i love your take on the Mediterranean Diet !

8 months, only meat. Pure carnivore. Diabetes cured, high blood pressure normalized, all aches and pains gone, sleep like a rock, anxiety gone, and on and on... Oh, and 40 lbs gone in first 3 months then stable for 5 more months.

The Nº1 Rule of Nutrition: There is no such thing as an "essencial carbohidrate"

[@stratometal]

There is a big issue with lack of minerals in foods that are supposed to have said minerals. Many of the soils upon which our foods are grown are depleted. Farms replenish some of them through different methods, but minerals such as magnesium and zinc are not being replenished. You can grow whichever vegies are supposed to be rich in these, but if the soil lacks them the vegies do not produce them out of thin air. I believe magnesium is currently one of the minerals soils are most deficient off, and thus lacking as a nutrient in our diets.

[@Just1humbleopinion]

Only one issue i Have with this Video. The Vitamin K. Theres actually a vitamin K2 that we require much more than the K1 found in leafy greens that arent actually bioavailable and full of pesticides( these leafy greens are on the dirty dosen list). Vitamin K2 is found in RED MEAT and fermented vegetables as well as in some dairy. The K2 deficiency is now believed to be one of the major causes of arterial plaque build up. The K2 is required to control Calcium placement in the bones and teeth but since we lack it. Calcium ends up building up in micro lessions in the arteries walls caused by inflamation.

I've never felt or looked healthier than now, aged 32, having had three kids. I've cut out gluten, oats, dairy, refined sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. I avoid seed oils but they are in everything. My weight is great, I've got a 27inch waist, my menstrual cycle massively improved after cutting dairy, and my mental state has also hugely improved. I eat meat, fish, veg, fruit, some legumes, some rice, rice noodles, potatoes, some gluten free pasta, nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut products, avocado oil, and maple syrup. I fast most days for between 14 and 20 hours, always skipping breakfast, and I try to get enough sleep. Thanks for making this video! The world of ancestral eating is fascinating.

I read an article in a science magazine probably 30 years ago written about an area studied by archeologists where people had lived continuously as hunter gatherers and then transitioned into agriculture. What they found studying their bones was that the hunter gatherers were healthier than the people who lived after agriculture. The agriculture bodies had more cavities and more signs of arthritis, and their bones were weaker.

[@dianacanales2526]

I absolutely love your videos, Arran. Brilliant combination of entertainment and educational content. Thank-You!❤

[@johnedwardangel]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this VERY informative video!!! Clarity at last 👍

[@emmaborn5901]

Just a small info to add here: Mediterranean diet is also the main diet of Morocco, Lebanon, Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and France.

[@translaterinokripperino5824]

I feel like when we started agriculture, we kinda found an unintended glitch/exploit and steered off the path ever since that.

GROSSLY UNDERRATED EPISODE.

[@Lianne-issa]

I’ve watched your channel for years! I downloaded an audiobook last month, called stick a flag in it, and I thought I recognised the authors voice. I’ve been wrecking my brain, and I couldn’t figure out where I’ve heard him before! Until I saw an advert on your video! Omg!!! It’s thoughty2!!! Of course it is! I never knew your real name! The book is amazing as is your channel. Huge kudos to you. ❤
