I’ve watched most of your videos the last few months, but today I started rewatching them and noticed your recent comment. I’ve quit sugar & processed foods, switched to a high fat diet and have been fasting daily for the last months; never felt healthier. It’s still particularly interesting to watch your videos again as there is lots of useful information that can be very useful for many people.

[@ClowReedx]

@@activechaos128 you lost 13 kg in 4 months?

[@activechaos128]

@@ClowReedx yes, just about 13kgs. Over the winter I've put some back. I'm now at about 80kgs. I haven't been as disciplined as I'd like to be over the last 3 months but I'm getting back on track now. I had not only eliminated sugar but was also eating spinach salads, meat/veg meals and fasting 18 hours in between. I also went jogging 1-2 times a week for 30-60 mins (5-10 kms). One other thing I did was water fasting. When I dropped to only eating 1 meal per day and because I would eat that meal in the evening one night I went to sleep without eating and when I woke up I continued my day like I normally had without eating. I was shocked because even though I hadn't eaten in over 36 hours I wasn't feeling hungry. It was more a feeling that there was something that I forgot to do. I then pushed it to the next day once again going to bed without eating. I then ate around 1200 the next day ending my 60 hour fast. I think I dropped 2 kgs in that time. I made sure to stay hydrated and I also take a multivitamin which keeps my b vitamin levels up. I definitely recommend doing a 48-72 hour fast every so often. Its not as hard as you would think and the benefits are amazing. Breaking your sugar addiction is key to controlling appetite. Once I did that I realized that before I would tell myself "I'm hungry" and then gravitate towards foods with sugar or that rapidly convert to sugar with little to no nutritional value. In nature foods that contain sugar often contain nutrients so our body falsly associates them so if you have vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which most of us do, you will crave foods with high sugar.

Dropping the soda is a big step. It was hard for me in the beginning. Once I cut out carbs it calibrated my ability to sense the effects of glucose. Less tastes sweeter than before, I can feel when I had too much or when I should have had something with it to slow the insulin spike. In this process I've learned the value of 'x' amount of food. I know when I have had enough, I don't need more. The awesome thing about willpower is the more you use it, the stronger it gets and the better it feels.

[@Metqa]

Trying by using sugar free soda is a good start. I personally find many SF sodas taste funny, either because the sweetener is not idea for me, or they try to oversweeten it. Flavored, sweetened seltzer water is another step down. Then flavored seltzers are the next step down. I'm talking about when you want something other than plain water. When thirsty, plain water is great, but sometimes you want fizz or flavor. I still get diet ginger ales or diet root beer, but I don't really want diet colas and lemon sodas anymore. I'd rather have lemon or berry seltzers for flavors. and unsweetened ice tea, made with a good quality tea that is not over steeped can be awesome. Lemongrass, hibiscus, and Rooibas, and other non-camelia teas have great flavors as well as well made green tea that's not bitter.

[@df6597]

Metqa I agree to a point. Use a crutch to help you establish new habits, but the goal should be to toss the crutch at some point. I'm working on smoking now after the sugar. It's my last vice, my old enemy. I'm finished losing though. I detest being manipulated and controlled by these habits and by people. No more, I say! I learned to love water. I still do one coffee most mornings. Tea is decent. I'll do grog on occasion. Water is the absolute main staple though. I recommend at lest 2, preferably 3-4 liters per day.

Don't forget to demonize an enemy and make people feel like nothing is their own personal responsability, so they feel a nice surge of indignation. The makers of the documentary thought they couldn't convince people without hyperboles and inflammatory language. Pies and chocolate aren't new. They just got ridiculously cheaper and religious stigma against gluttony is gone, so people stuff theyr face with that delicious food.

I agree, Keto is hard as hell in today's society, but doing stuff like intermittent fasting to lose weight is the way to go. Both are healthy. "Scientists" know that, but they're not getting their money by de-promoting the food industry, so that's why everyone thinks that you're gonna die if you eat Keto. You're gonna die if you don't eat your small "healthy" snack every 3 hours with bullshit diets that don't work. You're gonna die if you fast for more than 16 hours a day. Uhhm. Nope. In fact, Keto and Intermittent fasting are the only few diets/ lifestyles that actually work and are healthy. They don't want you to know that. They want you to have your shitty fake science articles about the bullshit official US diet. Well, look where that has lead the US to... Your body does NOT need carbs to survive. It never did. WE never did need it as a species.

I'm fructose intolerant so worked this out quite early. Everyone else seemed less healthy than me despite me basically having the opposite diet (animal-based, low car, no sugar). Today I'm still the healthiest person I know, even more so now better science has come out to inform my nutrition.

I am fructose intolerant also and haven’t found any solutions.

@@Maury1941 HFI or malabsorption, as far as I know there's no cure for either. HFI is genetic so no getting around that. All you can do is eat a diet with levels of fructose low enough for the liver to filter out the toxins. For me that's under 2g per day.

Everytime my diabetus start to push me to buy ice cream, I whatch this video. sometimes work, I´m not so shure that today will... Maybe if I whatch It more than once.

Yes

[@StNudge]

Nice video. Its very hard nowadays to know whats healthy or not. So much information that it has the opposite effect and make you doubt everything i think we should all make changes in what we eat time to time and see how we feel with those changes, and see what works best for you.

@White Owl Because everyone knows that "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" as it's been drilled in everyone's heads in school so it feels impossible to utter "the mitochondria is… " and not end with "the powerhouse of the cell". The phenomenon is so prevailant that even I, a non-native English speaker who's neer had the experience, still know about it thanks to the internet going THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL anytime a mitochondria is mentioned.

I'm glad you made this video, I once saw a discussion between robert lustig and someone else on this topic and how the dietary guidelines don't pay attention to it. But I couldn't find that video anymore and I forgot Robert Lustig's name until I watched this.

Yep, the moment I realized I was a sugarholic and just as addicted as any alcoholic was painful and enlightening. I eat ketovore now, but the desire still plagues me occasionally.
