If you haven't done so, watch the first FAT: A Documentary here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7x6gMJhvavNcn0.html

I have been studying this for 20 years, since I first studied evolutionary biology and realised our dietary advice doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And I came to the conclusion that the problem is the fact that our "heath" authorities are now far more concerned with political and economic agendas, than they are with actual health.

The more videos I watch on which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy, the more confused I become about what I should actually be eating

The guy telling the people on the panel that you need to eat sugar if you have diabetes that’s unbelievable

All I know is that at 70 years old, I effortlessly lost 70 pounds on the keto diet in the last 6 months and have never felt better in my life. My psoriasis has magically disappeared and my energy level is consistently high throughout the day. I just joined a gym and have been going every day, lifting weights like I'm 40 years old again. My only regret is that I didn't find keto sooner.I finally stopped going downhill and I'm enjoying life to the fullest.

Really excellent documentary! I live in Ireland 🇮🇪. I went Keto and intermittent fasting and WOW! I eat butter, red meat (not much as I just prefer eggs and cheese!) lots of cream, a lot of Rocket ((arugula), walnuts, pistachios and supplements. It’s amazing how I finally feel human after years of feeling hangry and generally meh 🫤, so now HAPPY CENTRAL! I wish everyone knew this!! ☘️🍀🇮🇪😎👏👏👏💪

I don't think it matters whether you eat meat or not, or whether you eat low or high fat. Eat REAL food, not processed, a lot less sugar, and don't overeat.

I don't listen to information that doesn't make sense to me at all. At the beginning of 2023, I was taking high blood pressure medication and suffering from pain related to Osteoarthritis and Degenerative disc disease and I discovered that I was diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver in 2021 that no one told me about. So on January 13th, I completed changed my diet to only include whole foods, I stopped using ketchup, mayonnaise and salad dressing, I limited my daily carbohydrate intake, I started drinking only water and I stopped using processed oils or butter and replaced them with cold pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil and grass fed butter. Within 2 months, I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication and the majority of my pain was gone. I was able to start walking my dog on a daily basis, starting out slow at first at a mile and now we are up to 3.3-4.3 miles depending on the route we take.

I finally listened to my doctor who told me low carb would be great for me to try bc I have PCOS; im amazed. My energy levels are so stable, I've never been so un-hungry, and my period has a better flow but I have less PMS symptoms. Im hooked.

"You can't run away from your diet." - great line!

Carnivore for 6 months and it changed my life forever. Never going back to raw veg smoothies. Feel great after 33 years of always being hungry, bloated and in a bad mood.

I am very surprised that the topic of alcohol intake never really got addressed here. It seems that no matter what "diet" you are following, that alcohol can destroy it....isn't alcohol consumption one of the leading caused of high insulin, heart diseases and more? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fat doesn't make you fat. I may eat 10 carbs even if that. Never even over 20. Fat does not make you fat.

Hello. I wanna share my experience as a vegan and most of my time, I did miss the nutrients in meat and meat itself is what our body relies on as fuel for the fire. Instead of veg, the keto diet gave me more energy instead of the vegan diet.

Don't take diet or any other advice from the government, period!

I am slowly transitioning into a carnivore and letting go of my bulimia and binge eating for years. Hoping this will reverse type 2 diabetes and acid reflux amounst other health issues

We need FAT3, seriously. Love love love this series

getting back to basics. I have struggled with my weight for years. I finally decided i was going to start mindful eating. I did decide to eat 16:8 eating plan. I eat a variety of real foods, nothing processed and completely cut out sugar. i have lost 12 lbs in 4 weeks. It takes time to plan meals and to think about what you are eating, but once you start, it becomes second hand. Real food helps, processed foods and sugars don;t. . It really just comes down to being mindful of what you are putting in your mouth.

Started to get into an argument with someone on Facebook that said, 'Don't do keto, it's dangerous'. When she told ME to do my research instead of relying on anecdotal information, I realized this was not a battle that was even remotely worth fighting. Just do what you do, folks. Never mind the misinformed haters.

I ve beaten bowel Cancer, now self curing fatty liver which i got from Chemo by OMAD and low carb/keto and feeling great... I love to feel my heart pumping and sweating on the incline treadmill and watch some educational videos like this which encourage me that i m right with my self-care....💪🏋️‍♀️

I am always drawn to these documentaries, thinking I've missed some new wisdom. I end up thinking I like what I do personally, so I'll stick with it. No meat, because it's so unappealing to me(not judging). No dairy to avoid inflammation, no sugar because I am sick of the addiction. I enjoy being free from depression and mood shifts. I exercise more because I don't want to be flabby. Just saying do what's right for you, you are intelligent, you are strong, you are insightful, you will be fine. Wishing everyone a good day, stay healthy. Thanks for listening.

i don’t know what to believe anymore

Fat1 changed my life. For 40 years I’ve eaten a carb loaded diet believing it was healthy. I only started keto to find out if Vinnie was an irresponsible quack or if he was onto something. My initial 3 month keto trial made me feel so good that now, 3 years later, I am 100% keto and never want to go back to carbs again.

1:10:00 Good one on the "eggs cause diabetes" story. My boss eats eggs almost every morning. He had diabetes - in fact he's almost to the stage where I expect him to start complaining about some "mysterious ulcer" etc. He's pretty far along. But the eggs are not the reason. The reason is he also eats pancakes, waffles, at lunch eats potato chips, bread, buns, potatoes, drinks beer and wine, his favorite meal is hamburgers and french fries, yes, that's a plural on the burgers. I've tried to tell him numerous times that his way of eating and then having to check his blood sugar and inject insulin all the time is living with "one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas" but it just doesn't sink in. But yeah, blame the eggs...

Nailed it. The need to move from fad diet to fad diet. There's folks out there that can recite their medical numbers like accountant's and even track their food components or macros like a detective.

The deception of the American food industry is just mind boggling. This documentary even states the problem...we're told to eat this, don't eat that, this is healthy, this is not healthy. No WONDER people are confused. I am blessed to not live in the US (no offence) and live in a Western country that, whilst we have high levels of obesity and junk food, we have moderate level of advertising of these foods. We have a real CHOICE in my country to eat healthy if we want to, even for people on lower incomes as healthy food has always been readily available and cheap in most parts of my country. The food deserts in America and overadvertising of junk food, not to mention the oversupply of junk and sugary foods in most American supermarkets is just disgusting. It is almost criminal. And how does the American health care system HELP people who end up getting diseases as a result of eating this high-fat, high sugar American diet? They ask you to pull out your wallet. They won't treat you for operations or surgeries or any treatments unless you have MONEY. So you're paying industries to get sick by eating fast food, then you're paying AGAIN to get treatment for diseases that are caused by this profit- driven and greedy food industry. I really feel sorry for most people living in America. Manufacturing food for the American public should NEVER be only about profit. We live in a 'free market' where there is diversity of products, but people really have no real choice over what they eat as nearly everything in America is just another version of sugar or fat. You can't even trust breakfast cereals over there, they're loaded with as much sugar as chocolate. The only solution is to just be honest with the people about what's in the products. And what effect that has on their bodies. Really educate Americans as to what's causes weight gain, obesity and other health issues. Of course, there's no money in it for the American food industry, nutrition industry, health care industry. So of course why would they do that? SMH...the greed. The greed.

I was vegan, whole food plant based diet, for about 4-5 years. My mental and physical health plummeted. I now eat a lower carb animal based diet, mostly beef, eggs and butter… it’s only been 9 months of eating this way and my mental and physical health issues are gone. Completely.

Dealing with big industry in addition to professional and governmental bodies that don't listen sounds exhausting.

a couple of months ago i stopped sugar in my coffee, and tried to reduce it as much as possible, and white processed carbs. i feel like a different person. for me it was a thyroid and weight problem. i have lost 3 kilos, and i want to lose another 5.

Love this documentary! It makes me feel confident about the healthy journey I’m on❤

Thank u guys for making it free to watch for all

Thanks Vinnie. Good to see the crew back together. Discovering this material five years ago led me down the road to becoming a low-carb health coach who helps people reverse metabolic disease.

I was working out 3-5 days a week for 1.5 years before going keto and gained 20 lbs. Started Keto almost a year ago and lost 60lbs so far. I lost most of it early on and have been maintaining for about the last 7-8 months or so. It's been a life changer for me. Biggest issue for me was having to buy new clothes but no complaints from me...

I’m listening to both sides and making decisions that make sense to me for me. I truly believe that if we went back to supporting and encouraging more small family farms to produce our food ethically and sustainably we could eat healthier and better. The mass production is the cause of this mess we are all in. Education is the key and I think the younger generation is getting better at weeding out the mess of junk information.

I'm carnivore these days, and my psoriasis has gone. I tried vegetarian and vegan and raw diets, i tried paleo. Strangely it was only carnivore that's stopped my problem. Anyway, so I agree with what's this is saying.

I have no problem with eating vegetables...with meat. Food should not have have a list of ingredients. Most will agree that processed foods should not be eaten.

There are so many branches to consider when we look at food. I think the confusion and why there is sooo much information out there regarding what's healthy and what's not is that there is so much to consider. From the amount of food, to how our food is being processed and what hormones are being added. From there we get into the ethics of how animals are raised and treated for mass consumption, and the cost on us as individuals to be able to chooses grass fed, free roaming, organic meat products.

I was hoping to hear something fresh from Dr. Rob Lustig in Part 2. Well... the documentary was great. GJ!

Everyone needs to read Nina Teicholz’s book. Once you read it, you understand where we are, why we are here, and what we should do about it: both personally and politically.

i think all diets agree junkfood is the main cause of weight issues which includes fried foods fast foods candy and all the chips and junk any lifestyle change is better then the standard american diet S.A.D.

You left out that people also drink (sugary toxic) Coke and soft drinks (carbonated or not) with their hamburgers and fries.

A BIG thank you to these doctors who found out the truth and are fixing our health!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Great follow up movie! Awesome to see Nina Teicholz included!

Thank you very much for this well-produced, thought-provoking, polite but iconoclastic, balanced look at the directions in which the different forces in nutrition, governance, and industry pull all of us. Your video helped me understand that, no matter how well-pedigreed a speaker is, no matter how self-confident, no matter how much grey hair or experience, and no matter how "settled" their position, they can still be absolutely wrong.

MCDONALD'S, KFC, Taco Bell, Burger King etc. should be held accountable for destroying public health.

Dude I love you and all these great people in this video!

I was just watching a documentary called Eating You Alive but when I saw Dr Gregor and then the demonizing of meats and fats I said nope. I should have been suspicious when I saw James Cameron and Samuel Jackson being interviewed.

I'm a fitness athlete and I've noticed when I cut protein shakes out of my diet I became more ripped and I think its because a lot of supplements have maltodextrin as an artificial sweetener. And maltodextrin has a GI higher then regular table sugar. That means it spikes your blood sugar more then regular added sugar. Always look at the ingredients list when buying a product. They do not legally have to disclose how many grams of maltodextrin is in a serving, so most of the time it will say 0 added sugars or some low amount when in reality their is (im assuming) a boat load. But who knows ? they don't have to tell us. The FDA needs to fix this. EDIT: And yes I'm consuming the same amount of calories despite the protein powder being removed from my diet. I count every last calorie that enters my mouth hole very accurately. I typically eat 2600-3200 depending on physical activity done that day.

Thank you, Vinnie, and all the contributers to this movie. We all owe you our health.

It would be nice to see more medical professionals promoting prolonged fasting for weight loss and overall health. I fast daily for 20 hours with a 4 hour eating window and the weight id been stuck at for over 15 years finally started falling off. I also drastically reduced sugar in my diet to once every 2 months instead of daily.

At the end of the day Balance seems like the answer to almost (if not all) issues people are confused about and deal with.

Thank you for sharing this information. Stay healthy eat properly.

when I stopped eating sugar (added aand otherwise), vegetable oils and processed stuff to the maximum extend possible, I took back my health. Went from 34% to 20% body fat in 7 months. Unfortunatelly also lost 5 kg of muscle. I am geting those back now with the help of a barbell and a pair of dumbells.

Thanks so much Vinnie.

I'm so glad it's now possible to sidestep the MSM and find information like this. If it wasn't for internet I'd probably still be trying to lose weight on low-fat, high-carb diets.

Oh my god, I was waiting fot this movie! Your first movie has changed my life in a huge way🙏🏻❤️

Thank you for this. Keep up the amazing work.

I've been eating keto for 3 months. Down 30 lbs. Cut my triglycerides in half. I feel great!

So well done! Big thank you to all who participated in this. Going to share the heck out of it on social media.

I have been on every diet known to man, and the only diet that has helped me has been carnivore

One thing I’ve learned about weight loss is that there is no ‘one size fits all’. You simply have to try different ways and see which is the best one for you.

I've done a myriad of N1 diet experiments in my life including vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, calorie in/calorie out, low fat high carb, Currently I am meat based carnivore and of all the diets I've tried this is the sweet spot for me from a well being stand point. Better blood sugar control, better brain function, better energy, no brain fog, lower blood pressure, effortless weight loss, no digestive issues, no depression. Everyone needs to find their own sweet spot, but excess carbs and seed oils in any diet is problematic.

Excellent! Thank you.

"NSNG" == No Sugar, No Grains - Vinnie Tortorich

1. Correlation is not Causality. 2. Need to correct for cofounders. 3. Need to identify vested interests behind studies.

Former vegan here after going low carb/healthy keto my bloods are all good Liver normal after fatty & enlarged, cholesterol normal, blood sugars & blood pressure normal

Quit sugary drinks and snacks long ago. Then the "hype" event started. Gained 20lbs/10kg over a year. Felt awful and blood tests were out of norm. Now, dropped most of the weight, got a physically demanding job, feel great. I did cut out more carbs but nothing crazy. Eating better and getting a workout while working has done well for me.

This is so eye opening!!! Im happy I’ve watched this! Masterfully done.

For me, functional without chronic disease (diabetic, inflammation, pain, ... ) means healthy

Excellent from start to finish! A sequel as good as the first one! Thank you, Vinnie, for presenting this life transforming information in such an accessible way. I’m a personal trainer who has been keto/low carb for 3 years. I’ve never felt, looked or performed better.❤️🙏🏻❤️

This video did a good job of explaining many of the more subtle statistical and philosophy of science issues.

unsaturated fats are scary... to make a small amount of it you need to process a lot of seeds... if you chew on coca leafs you won't get the same effect like concentrating it

I've realized food can be very individualized I lost and maintained 155 lbs eating on a normal day to day closer to carnivore with fruit and occasional veggie shakes and whatever I want when I go out with friends works great 3 yrs lots of energy and feel good but I've done personal training and found some people love vegan eating works for them basically eat clean and listen to your body works wonders

All I can say is: following a low fat diet and vegetarian diet ruined my life. I was born premature, into a home where my mother was mentally volatile, suffered from anxiety and depression my whole life. Anorexia and bulemia nervosa from the age of 14, which turned into IBS and chronic fatigue syndrome at 34. I was skeptical about the Atkins diet because everyone said that fat was poison, so I avoided the stuff like it was the plague. Sadly it took a health catastrophe and being severely let down by the medical establishment that I finally took a good hard look at the food industry as a whole and realised I'd been royally screwed over. Gave keto a go and haven't looked back. It hasn't cured my cfs, but no more depression, no extreme hunger, no more joint pain, no more menstrual cramps, no mood swings. I have never felt so at peace in my entire life.

It's logical thinking really. People in my life are so addicted to sugar and carbs, they refuse to see it!

In India, a very large population has been eating only vegetarian food for generations and we have been doing good. No issue of deficiency of macronutrients.

There was a time when I weighed almost a 100Kgs. It was hard to lose all that fat in a conventional way like daily cardio, limiting calories, eating greens. The only I pulled myself down to 79Kgs was by going KETO. Lost that difference in about 5 months. That's the only time I did Keto and it was so beneficial for that short time. I don't consider KETO sustainable for me. I'm on maintenance mode, lifting weights and staying away from bread, sugar and soda, plus intermittent fasting. SUGAR IS REALLY BAD FOR YOU..period.

The other problem with meat is not the meat but what we are feeding the animals these days...GRAIN!!! Grain fed beef will always be inferior. Grass fed is what we should be eating. Farming methods need to improve across the board.

Awesome video. Finaly the truth come out. I love it👌👌👌👌👌

The longest lived, healthiest people in the world in the Blue Zones eat a variety of diets but most aren't highly keto-based. What they have in common is avoiding all processed, chemically laden foods and high amounts of sugars and eating freshly sourced foods. This doesn't need to be a keto vs. vegan argument. Why not eat a balanced diet including appropriate amounts of all healthy foods sources? This battle of diets just promotes division.

There is too much food that’s processed,too many sweet treats at checkouts. Also lots of people don’t want to cook.👍💖🇬🇧

Keto gave me insomnia and constant thirst, so it was not for me. However, doing keto did teach me that I do great on a low-carb diet. I keep it to around 75 grams per day, and my carbs come only from veggies and limited fruit. The rest of my diet is meat, eggs, and butter. (No milk or cheese.) I also eat a limited amount of nuts and seeds.

Food is medicine. Someone needs to tell pharmaceutical and stop it with their poison pokes!

I hope everyone here is exercising as much as they should per week, or at least counting your daily steps to keep yourself active. Put your body to work will make the diet scenario a lot easier to manage.

It's impossible for me to overeat on a high fat protein diet. My stomach, brain, and mouth all say "No more!" and I will easily--EASILY--put down the fork and walk away. Not so with other diets (and I've tried them all). Even when full to the point of bursting, I could always stuff in one more bite...then another...and another...and another. (Consuming more = buying more, and what brand doesn't want that?) I can honestly say that in my nearly 65 years I have never felt as good and energetic as I do eating this way.

Wow, I should have died before puberty. I had 3 eggs a day for my entire childhood.

"Everything in moderation" seems the most rational and doable to me. Combine that with exercise, plenty sleep, and good stress management, and most of us should be fine, methinks.

Imagine being that matter of fact about saying sugar cures diabetics 🤦‍♂

We're made of saturated fat and red meat and now we're terrified of it? Why?

I had an epiphany today after watching this. I was comparing the ingredients of a stick of pure 100% butter and a tub of olive table spread. The butter had 1 ingredient and the olive spread had about 10 ingredients (some nasty or dubious at best) and not even that much olive oil in it. The scariest thing is the butter had a 0.5 health star and the olive margarine spread had a 3 health star rating. The total corruption and total misunderstanding of our foods and food industries was so striking to me at that moment.

by changing the focus away from meat and towards carbs they can sell cereal, crakers, cakes, cookies and all kinds of processed carbs! You cant just eat a wheat 🌾 stalk! Its not natural to eat processed carbs with added sugar!

So very pleased to see this movie available on KZfaq! Have added it my playlist of must-watch movies for my keto clients. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

How can anybody make an informed decision about anything anymore? There’s too many confusing viewpoints that are driven by politics and personal agendas. It’s literally impossible. At this point nobody knows what’s healthy.

Here's something for my exercise-avoidant friends. Being obese makes exercising WAY worse. I have a lot of personal experience with this. When I went on keto and lost a good amount of weight, I gained a greater capacity to exercise. Namely, aerobic exercise. In school I was never able to complete a 1-mile run without having to walk. After losing weight with keto, without starving myself, in conjunction with time-restricted eating, I found that jogging was far easier and even kind of fun. I followed with my doctor and my cholesterol improved (it was never high, but my HDL was low), my GERD resolved (especially with time-restricted eating), I drastically improved my blood pressure, and I had my doctor's blessing despite not being a keto-positive doctor. The medical advice was simply "You've lost weight and improved all your biomarkers and blood pressure. Keep doing what you're doing because it's clearly working"

I use the science of a keto based diet and cycle it into my over all eating habits. Also fasting is a tool I use. Over all we definitely need to get away from processed foods especially highly refined carbs that have long shelf life and seed oils. I am not someone who stays in a ketogenic state permanently as we need to come out of it sometimes and stay metabolically flexible.

I tried being vegetarian or even vegan multiple times in my 20s and 30s but gave up. I decided to follow what my body craved, what felt good, not just what I thought I should want. I'm now in middle age and my doctors say I'm as healthy as someone on their 20s when they do my labs. BMI of 20. Sleep well and feel great. What I eat? I'm allergic to eggs, beans, and dairy, but other than that I eat whatever I want, just usually in small quantities. Bacon or sausage is something I eat almost every day. I don't eat breakfast though, more brunch and then dinner, doing intermittent fasting. I tried keto for a few months and felt great, ended my joint pain. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to lose any weight, so had to stop it, because I lost about 15 pounds and looked gaunt. Sugar really is addictive. It's been hard bringing back the carbs without continually doing more and more and more. That's a battle I'll commit to fighting though, because I know now that I feel best with little carbs (not none) and lots of fat while going at least 16 hours each day without eating anything. I'm continually trying to have just enough carbs to keep my weight up without intensifying to the point I get worsening joint pain and other problems from sugar.

Shhh, don't tell anyone. This was fantastic!

Regardless which extreme you eat in, no doubt we all try to avoid ultra processed food like substances. Thank you for uploading and sharing.

This has worked for me. One meal a day, no veg oils, lots of butter, cream, lard, tallow. Do not consume the refined anything. Sugar or oils. I love burgers and lots of cheese, lots of whole veggies. I feel the best I've ever been. Follow this to a T. Remove all of the bad things they say. I have zero cravings for sugar or fried foods. I have no cravings for anything in general. I'm calmer, full all day in general. Just let the hunger pang pass. I've never stopped moderate alcohol consumption during this trial of 12 days today. I've lost 2 whole pant sizes. And exercising with no pain, high energy.

It's really not this hard. It's called balance
