The approach of going high carb low fat low protein and doing all these things to heal the gut is counter productive. Not feeling satiated is because you are not having enough fat and protein through your the day. Rather than high carb, have more complex carbs with more fiber to improve digestion. With higher amounts of fat and protein along with carbohydrates you will feel satiated, happy and is more sustainable on the long term. I’ve tried both high carb low fat and low carb high fat. I’ve noticed that balancing, managing all types of macros is what we must learn to do rather than forsaking or isolating foods because of lack of managing them in our diet. I’ve learned we need all macros, all foods. Don’t be afraid to eat all kinds of macros especially if your doing a Whole Foods plant based style of eating.

I like how you talk about gut health so much! I think it's the future of the nutrition science. Loved the video. Cheers :)

Love what you said about the quick fix at the end. Everyone always expects these problems to go away overnight. It simply doesn't work that way.

Yesterday for breakfast i had oatmeal, about 1 1/2 cups, with one small banana, 1 1/2 tbsp of chia seed, 1 tbsp of flax seed, 1 tbsp of almond butter, 2 dates chopped, a little cinnamon and vanilla extract. This kept me very full, seriously, for about 6 hours, it was very good and satisfying

I'm on my 21st day of being a vegan and lately I've been feeling really hungry especially when it's night time. I eat my three meals a day and don't starve myself or try to eat out of boredom, I've also been working out lately to loose some weight. But it's difficult to sleep at night with my stomach waking me up because it wants me to eat. :(

Thank you so much for the work you put on the videos 😊 this one in particular made me learn a bunch of new things!

Very good video. I wish I had seen this video years ago when all my nasty gut bugs were screaming for sugar and making me insatiably hungry all the time. And spot-on with the approach to healing the gut, I followed that general protocol in a not-so-formal or linear way and eventually found myself on the other side with a much healthier gut. This guy knows his stuff!

Emotional eating and habits are also very powerful.

Very thorough, thank you, as it is so important to have a 'vital' gut. Really resonated with what you said about the lack of B and fat soluble vitamins and fatty acids when you have unwanted bacteria/overgrowth. It is debilitating when not diagnosed correctly. When the gut is functioning the head is clear and the 'brain fog' and listlessness goes.

Wow! Fascinating!

Great channel mate!! Subscribed!

Incredibly informative, thanx a million

#askgojiman Hi Gojiman, can you please recommend some good candida/stool tests for bacteria/yeast within the UK? NHS? Thanks

One of the most informative videos I have ever seen 🙏🏻 thank you for it

Excellent video!!!!!!

#askgojiman Wow, this really hit home with me. I have been a sugarjunkie my entire life and always struggle like a demon to stay on diets. Do you have suggestions to how one can test for which bad bacteria that has "taken over" in the gut? I doubt that my run of the mill GP will have any input on this..

What an absolute legend! Best video thank you so much!

Amazing!!

great video!

I stuff so much face as a high carb, high fiber vegan and I'm only really hungry if I accidentally skip a meal. I don't limit myself with raw fruits and veggies, but I eat a sensible amount of cooked starches. Like FDA serving sizes. As of right now, I have gone from wearing a size 2XL shirt to wearing a size Medium 🎉and I'm still losing weight! Aaaannnnd......... My cravings have actually started to align with what my body actually needs, like if I need vitamin C, I crave bell peppers and citrus fruits. If I need iron, i'll crave dark greens and oatmeal, and when I am feeling a little sleepy, I want cooked starch like potatoes. They aren't serious cravings, more like "huh. *insert food * sounds like a good idea " while I'm cooking my meals

I love your channel!!! Thank you.

I think your about to blow up in popularity yo ;)

do you know where or how to test my gut in France ...because the link or company you've already given are not avaliable in my country ...

Perfect video for most of the population!

Are there any specific dietary recomendations/suggestions for someone to follow if they have had their gallbladder removed - also, as I no longer have a "bile store" could there be vitamins and minerals that I am missing out on or more likely to be low on. I have had my gallbladder removed, and I hear that it's one of the most common surgical procedures - most likely due to my bad diet.

#askgojiman - well done, I am eager to improve my gut health. Do you ever do consults with individuals?

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I'm definitely hooked! I'm 2.5 years vegan but recently my sister was diagnosed with A.L.L. which led me to eventually discover the Gerson therapy, and with that an even deeper understanding of disease. This all really kicked me into another level with my diet and I was very driven to cut out the vegan junk foods I was living on and go strong with WFPB. BUT, I would come home from work in the morning and have terrible junk food binges, and felt friggin horrible about it! I was like some kind of uncontrollable monster. I decided to ~~FINALLY~~ use cronometer to see exactly how I was doing eating intuitively. I was surprised, shocked, upset, to see that I was eating nearly half of the calories that I needed... Wow. This, at a time where I'm trying to put on muscle lol. After fixing my calories as best I can and playing with things, the junk food binges have stopped, but I'm using some junk foods to help me get to my calorie goals and I hope to be able to figure out how to adjust for that eventually too. ANYWAYS, thank you for this video! Can't wait to check out your others, I found you in the comments section on TVP's videos~~

Great channel

I basically followed this protocol and am doing much better now! My appetite is balanced during my non-eating phases of the day, but i still do have my one dark chocolate a day!! ; }

#askgojiman If a low FODMAP diet helps me a lot, is it enough to suggest I have SIBO and may need rifaximin? Or can FODMAPs cause problems even without SIBO?

Where would you recommend getting the tests done @gojiman

#askgojiman I'm massively binging hard on your videos, is this healthy? 🤔

#askgojiman What do you think about FODMAPS for IBS? Can it help in a long run and cure IBS or is it just a way to manage the symptoms without treating the cause?

Could you make pls a video about coffee?

#askgojiman what are your thoughts on water fasting to clear bad bacteria out of your gut?

With someone with yeast intolerance what would you recommend instead of fermented foods?

This is so true, I love it! Yas!

Hey goji I have an overgrowth of proteus bacteria I’ve been getting better with more veggies less meat cow colustrum and a few antimicrobials such as garlic wormwood berberine and olive leaf along with FOS and probiotics. Any advice??

#askgojiman I have been vegan for 2 years and whole food plant based for about 10 months and while I have lost all excess weight and all blood tests and blood pressure come out perfect, I have autoimmune issues such as arthritis. Does salt have anything to do with it? It is the only thing that I have not been able to eliminate from my diet. What do you suggest? What can I replace it with or what is the best course of action to completely eliminate it?

#askgojiman? hey, what exactly is candida you always talk about? according to the studies dr. greger and his helpers were able to find its conflicting and apparently not statisticly significan to be called a real disease. is the definition that you're using different than the one in said studies greger looked through? yeast, bacteria and parasite issues in the gut can be a real big issue, I believe that~ but how is candida supposed to help me here? please define :)

Which medical person should I go to to figure out what my gut bacteria level is? Just moved and got a primary I’m seeing Monday. I’ve been fighting stomach bloating and pain and GI stuff, anxiety and depression. I was vegan but not a great one just as you describe.

Hey there. I'm a new subscriber, and I am so excited and relieved to see a vegan talking about nutrition who has actually studied it, or studied anything actually. I really loved watching this video, and listening to everything that you had to say. I do however hope that you can appreciate, I believe that it is a mistake to take anything anybody says at face value, without doing some proper research. I would be so grateful if you could maybe link a few DOIs in your descriptions that discuss or prove some of what you are saying in the future if possible, just so I can go over and have a quick squidge through. Books are cool too, especially if they are online, and particularly if they are on journal sites like ScienceDirect, etc. Please :). Thanks and kind regards.

THIS WAS BRILLIANT!!!! I have been exercising a lot more since I moved to a different city and started cycling to work. Its more than an hour of exercise per day that way and I have been having M A S S I V E sweet cravings. Now I know that my body just needs a pinch of Magnesium. I'm so relieved! :-)

#askgojiman Please give us some specific instructions to restore gut microbes. Here in the US naturopaths are scam artists and regular doctors don't acknowledge things like gut flora and candida protocols. I feel lost and desperate, and thats exactly what the naturopaths want to scam desperate people with snakeoil. There has to be a protocl that can work for everybody, if not please find one! you are our only hope gojiman!

I've been vegan 14 years now, and get about 45% calories from fat - I'm almost never hungry. When I did HCLF I was hungry all the time

I'm underweight and keep losing weight, what should I do? My appetite is not there and eating 2500 calories a day is, somehow, not enough to maintain weight

#askgojiman where/how am I able to test for for the strain of bacteria?

#askgojiman I'm worried about my HDL cholesterol although I have very low total cholesterol as well. My HDL was still very low before I was vegan and before I started exercising. What is the ideal ratio, should I be concerned for low HDL if the ratio is ok, and what are some good ways to increase my HDL level? My doctor recommended lowering processed carb intake, but I mostly eat whole grain breads anyway, so I'll be lowering all intake of breads and rice for now.

do you need to add specific bacteria to fermented food?

#askgojiman HI! WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST FOR CHRONIC SINUSITIS, SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES UNDER JAW, SWOLLEN PAROTYD GLANDS? FOR SOMEONE WHO SUFFERS FROM IT ALREADY 6 YEARS? 3 YEARS OF RAW VEGAN DIET ABUNDANT IN LEAFY GREENS, AND PREVIOUSLY LIVING AS VEGETARIAN 15 YEARS? NEITHER DIET, NEITHER ANTIBIOTICS ARE NOT HELPING AT ALL. I apologize for poor english, Please do a video on the topic! Thanks!☺

#askgojiman What effect does water fasting have on gut bacteria if at all? How many days would it take to affect your gut bacteria on a water fast?

#askgojiman what is your opinion that we shroud eat only10% of our calories by weight from fruit and that 85% of all fruits are hybrids , Brian clement is the one who promotes this and the green blue algee and we shoul eat everything only when it sprouts thanks I just discovered your channel and it's great I have more questions but this is what I want to know!!!

My best friends are good bacteria in my guts and having a good friends is what makes us happy .

How healthy are your Probiotics?

#askgojiman Can you compare the so called healthy sweeteners on their negative and positive effects on the body overall, insulin, what it does to hunger/satiation cues and how they affect the GUT bacteria...etc etc? The specific sweeteners I'm thinking about are: Coconut Sugar, Maple Syrup, Agave Nectar, Stevia, Erythritol, Dextrose (not healthy I think but I'm not sure...It appears frequently in some products). Furthermore, when craving sweets, I always crave chocolate, what is better to have: a few squares of a healthy dark chocolate bar, or oatmeal+maple syrup+cocoa powder+ stevia? these are very specific foods but please answer what to eat when craving sweets generally. I LOVE LOVE your videos! please continue. I am so helped by all the detailed biochemistry and nutritional knowledge you share, in my pursuit of overall healthy living as an active vegan.

Finally someone without an unstable emotional byus who explains nutritional science! Great step into going youtube m8! Dont know if you've been here for long but anyway! Subbed!

For me it was because I was eating too much fruit and too less whole grains and legumes for my caloric needs, so pay attention to your calories and make sure you're hitting at least the daily dozen

#askgojiman What are different factors affecting high blood pressure? Are there downsides on blood pressure meds?

I have a massive sweet tooth and this honestly helped me understand why so much.

Is nutritional yeast good for you? #askgojiman

#askgojiman Could you tell us more about milk and cancer? I would appreciate if you could provide some good quality studies on this topic too :)

#askgojiman - Many people say that "a little animal products" eg. fish once a week, will give you undefined extra benefits without severe downsides, since the concentrations of badness are so low. Thoughts?

#AskGojiMan any advice on how to wean off antacids like proton pump inhibitors? Forgive me if you've already addressed this I haven't watched all your videos yet. Thank you for this video this is exactly what I'm going through now. I know my stomach is full, I even eat more than before but I feel so hungry it almost hurts. Knowledge is power and I feel this will empower me to get through it. Thank you so much.

#AskGojiMan Dear GojiMan, I saw you made some videos on female topics so maybe you also know more about the two following widespread femalish issues: 1) How to heal the root problem of PMS (especially menstrual pain) further to the hormon and omega 3 aspect ? Most austrian doctors recommed birth controll pills or pain killers. I find this very frustating and unsatisfying. 2) How to cure chronical UTI without chemical synthesised antibiotics? There are lot of herbal remedies which sometimes might help, but what is in your opinion the clue to sustainable cure it? So to clarify I'm looking for a longterm solution since I already gethered experience with different teas, probiotics, apple cider, cranberry, mustard oils, capuchin cress, oregano and thymian oils, vitamine c, vitamine d, D-Mannose (which I btw supsect to mess with gut bacteria). I recently found some thesis on specific helpful microbioms like lactob. fermentum, rhamnosus and crispatus, but havn't got any results with those yet and maybe I missed something so I'm curious if and what you know about UTI. If you have (or in near future will get) some helpful information on one these topics please consider to share it with us! I highly appreciate your videos and the work you do in the (plant based) health community. Thank you so much and lot of greetings from Austria! PS: Recently I more often stumble on the information that toxins and as a result parsites are causing the problems, but nowadays everthing seams to be connected to parasites and different protocolls are sold so I'm not sure how reliable this is. So if my first to questions are not suiting you (right now) I'd be [besides being also interested what you think of a suitable vegetable police parasites protocol] very keen on your thoughts on parasites since it seams to cause so many different problems and there are tons of different protocols how to cure them, I'm still very insecure about a high fat diet and/or terpentine and what it is causing to the gut bacteria etc. Also there are also a lot of different parasites so how to test for all of them and do you think is there legitimate way how to cure all of them at the same time without needing to test for everything?

#askgojiman what are the types of fermented vegetables? i don't think i've ever eaten anything fermented except soy sauce and tofu. And how do you make them? Also can you simply go to a laboratory and ask for a bacteria gut test? What if there are many different types? Which one should I choose?

A big help for me was eating papaya seeds in the morning and before bed for 2 weeks this kills parasites and so much more.

I'm a little surprised you didn't recommend a higher fiber intake. #askgojiman - could you talk about not having much of an appetite and difficulties gaining weight? I'm borderline underweight and struggle to even get my daily maintenance calories in. I've been trying to gain weight over the last few years, but it doesn't even happen when eating 3000 calories a day last summer (a supposed 700 calorie surplus). Thanks! Enjoying the content!

what do u think of waterfast?#askgojiman

How to heal metabolic damage after multiple extended water-only fasts and calorie restriction? #askgojiman

#askgojiman My wife is on her 5th month of her second pregnancy and just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She's already having some issues with indegestion and it's getting harder already to keep the diet going. Until we can see a nutritionist, I didn't know if they're are certain foods to aviod(besides animal products) and certain times to eat fruits. We are trying to keep it mostly whole foods with a oatmeal or granola for bfast(sometimes cereal but rarely) lunch can be anything but is usually veggie based though now a whole lot of veggies seem to cause to much indigestion(thinking about steaming only). Dinner will usually be the biggest meal with pasta, potatoes or rice being the base. She`ll snack on fruits or home made hummus and guac in between meals when hungry. She also has fruit for desert as well. Our doctor recommended bacon and eggs for breakfast and scolded us when we told him we were vegan. Sadly, he didnt have any recomendations for us but keep the carbs low.

Very interesting Video, but for me not very useful as I can't get a stool test for the bacteria in my gut from my Doctors and I've no idea how to do it privately so these suggestions are of no practical use to me I'm sure they would be for anyone who could follow his advise though

He is taking about the 4rgut programme

#askgojiman i have had acne for 5 years now and i have been vegan for 2 and a half years. i have been eating wfpb for the last 3 months and its still not helping. i also have ibs so they are probably cause by the same thing.

#askgojiman yes a video about acne please. I get significantly less breakouts since I went vegan, but my skin texture is a bit worse somehow and its taking more time to fade acne scars. I eat pretty healthy, not many proccessed foods.

You have so deep knowledge but you are talking so fast i have too keep rewinding the videos. But thanks for this knowledge

#askgogiman What does a salty food craving mean?

What happen when the body crave salt.

Oh wow. No one ever told me about gut bacteria and cravings. -_-

What if you have to be on chronic antibiotics? :c

Is Yakult okay

Nutritionist here looking for another professional’s opinion. What do recommend is the best micronutrient profile of a vegan diet, when pertaining to health? Many recommend HCLF, but academically this is viewed as extremist. The standard approach is have more of an equal balance.There’s a lot of historical evidence that suggests we are starch eaters, but this not the overall consensus. Thanks#askgojiman

You’re even better than Dr McDougall. Marvellous

#askgojiman Hello! I'm trying to understand how a high carb low fat diet burns fat. I can understand how keto burns fat, I just can't find any clear information on how our bodies burn fat when on a high carb diet. I am currently on week 3 of 10 doing exclusively whole-foods, plant-based high carb low fat and can see and feel that I'm losing fat. I just want to be able to explain from a scientific perspective on how it is all happening. Thanks in advance!

It’s more recently been found to be more like 1.34 to 1 microbes to cells not 10:1

How the fuck do microbes and yeast that are not a part of your nervous system make you hungry..? wtf?

You need to eat carbs with protein. I felt like I was starving all day when I was eating blueberries, blackberries, cucumber, and tomatoes. Eating blueberries with walnuts and cashews is far more satisfying. Or veggies with hummus.

lol the thumbnail tho

What beat is that

#askgojiman Mate there are so many trolls in your comments section you really need to start deleting them. Great channel btw

So many bloody things to do to fix your gut!

How about people who develop digestive issues like ulcerative colitis after going vegan? I understand how a pre-existing issue might not be fixed by going vegan, if you don’t take the right steps, but how could a problem get worse by eating healthy vegan?

#askgojiman how do you prevent bloating?

How about the opposite effect? Why am I not hungry?

#askgojiman could you talk about coffee? Pros and Cons. Who should and shouldn't. There is so much contradiction out there.

Subtitles in spanish please

#askgojiman I agree with FoggyFlatland. I am vegan and suffering from cystic acne

Chia seeds would stop your food cravings.

This guy sounds like very educated and sanctimonious.

I had rise porridge and banana for breakfast, was super hungry by 11 and ate my lunch (fried rise with lots of cabbage and beans) and fruits. two hours after I'm hungry again and reaching for sugary and fatty snacks. For God's sake girl!!!

#gojiman Is the human body able to digest raw meat? Can it thrive on it? Why cooking meat is considered important? Also is High Meat not poisonous for the body? How can people eat that putrid meat and not puke straight away or even get ill? Thanks again for such awesome content! Peace
