My problem with paul saladino is; while he was doing carnivore for the year(s), he was telling us how great he felt, how he's in the best health of his life, how everything is covered nutritionally and now he's saying that he had heart palpitations, poor sleep, muscle cramps? How am I supposed to trust someone who would lie about their quality of life like that and promote the diet that was causing themselves problems? Worse still he will talk about how "they said" you don't need to worry about electrolytes, just eat more! No, you said that, not some nebulous "them", he needs to claim more ownership for the information that he helped spread.

"My nut butter has officially launched." Some day I'll be mature enough not to laugh at this phrase.

I listen to Thomas, Dr. berg, and Paul to name a few. They all provide great information. When I was on Keto I ended up with kidney stones and electrolyte issues. I did animal based diet and it was definitely much better. However, I was constantly having constipation and ended up with anal fissure. So now I eat animal based with fully cooked veggies and that works for me. Lots of fermented veggies like kimchi and pickles and yogurt helped as well. We all have different blood types and lineage and gut. Food is going to be unique for everyone and it's a trial and error until you figure out your problematic foods. No diet is going to work 100% for you and it's up to you to add and take food out of your diet.

I find it odd that in US people are getting fat from fruits. I grew up in a different country and we were surrounded by fruits all day everyday. Not one person in my family was fat or unhealthy until we came to US. Its not just food thats full of chemicals but also soil is full of crap so truly nothing is organic here. I have never experienced this much stress over what to eat before..its annoying. Its like all your energy goes into what you can and cant eat. I visited home few years ago and came back 15 pounds lighter and some days i had cake for breakfast. Not joking. I wasn't watching my diet on vacation. Im not the only one that experienced that. My friend lived with my grandma for a summer in Europe and came back so much healthier. Skin issues weight issues resolved in 3 months. Just crazy. It really shows just how much we are being poisoned in US nutrition wise.

According to the USDA, 100 grams of raw yellow sweet corn contains 3.43 g glucose, 1.94 g fructose, and 0.89 g sucrose. during processing High-temperature enzymes are added to metabolize the starch and convert the resulting sugars to fructose. They make 3 versions, 42% fructose for processed foods, 55% fructose for soft drinks, and 70% fructose for filling jellies

Is Paul Saladino on 1.5x speed permanently?

Love this style of content - great conversation!

Pop-Tarts contain the following ingredients: Enriched flour Corn syrup High fructose corn syrup Dextrose Soybean and palm oil Sugar Bleached wheat flour Salt Dried fruit Some flavors also include: Niacin, Reduced iron, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Folic acid, Dried cherries.

We all evolve. I did the same Keto/Carnivore and then animal based. Felt good on Keto, great on carnivore, currently AWESOME on animal based. These two men have been my greatest teachers in regards to health. Haters are meant to hate not evolve Paul and Thomas, keep doing what you are doing and never stop evolving and challenging your previous beliefs. Much love and appreciation to you both.

So I eat the saladino diet. Fruit doesn’t make you fat. I’m losing weight every week. My weight doesn’t change but my body fat percentage drops .3 every single week. And I feel incredible. Energy from carnivore and double dipping with some fructose makes my workouts insane. Great talk. Was good to listen during my gym session this morning

Changed his "MIND" not facts. He did not change facts.

After listening to Berg, Berry, Paul & others. I agree with what a lot of what they say, but I go by what works for me.

I really learned a lot from this, I like what’s here and would like a bigger breakdown on sugar types.

Next up he’s going to say: vegetables and whole grains aren’t actually bad for you, balanced whole food diet is optimal for human health 🤯

Great episode! Thanks!

Great conversation, thanks

Thank you for talking about the heavy metals and mold in chocolate. I stumbled across information about that about a year ago, and contacted the manufacturer of my favorite organic roasted chocolate beans, asking about these contaminants and received no response. I contacted them 2 more times and received nothing. I quit buying their product.

Thomas is like “Brah, all you need to stay lean is Diet Coke and aspartame, I drink it to stay in ketosis”!

Great video. Two well educated people talking about a subject that they both understand.

My personal experience (as a former type 2 diabetic) is overeating energy (energy toxicity), whether it be fat or carbs, and becoming a lard ass. I am at well over 200g of carbs a day and 77g of fat with a fasting glucose average of 82, and my A1Cs have been anywhere from 4.8 to 5.1 over the past three years. Lose the excess weight and add some muscle so you can store energy. Then, deplete that stored energy with intentional movement. Trying to get flatlined blood sugar levels is a fool's errand. Metabolic flexibility is doable with some effort and consistency.

are you doing clickbait now? the title and thumbnail imply the exact opposite of what's being said in the video.

These clickbait titles & misleading thumbnails on these Saladino clips keep causing unnecessary confusion, why keep doing it when it contributes to backlash in the comments every time… “Fruit Makes You Fat | Paul Saladino Changes His Mind On Fructose” as the title? 🤦🏼‍♀️ “Worse Than Snickers” in the thumbnail 🤦🏼‍♀️

This shows that one needs to do one's research. I can see that Paul is a work in progress and does research to find the latest information. We can definitely learn from his journey and apply it where it's necessary. Stay flexible and open minded in your thinking and continue to research as much as possible. Personally I'm wary of extremes. I find the whole carnivore thing extremely interesting so I want to know as much as I possibly can. Keep talking Paul, I'm listening.

Thank you!! ❤

I feel good about people like Dr. Paul Saladino changing his mind. That means he is learning and studying. He is not a selfish investigator. He shares new found knowledge.

For a person that is very active , has a lot of muscle, a few sweets/ carbs is not going to be a big deal. But s person with little muscle, not active at all , sweets/carbs are a real killer to that person.

Nice interview

I trust Dr Saladino’s honesty: as he learns more, he promulgates what is the best he knows. If he learns differently, he says so. You just have to adapt what he says to yourself. I live in Northern Illinois, not Costa Rica. I’m a 73-yo woman who exercises, but I don’t surf! For me, fruit is apples, pears, berries, stone fruit in season, rarely, an orange. A banana once or twice a week, probably none the next week. Mangos are lovely, but one has to draw the line somewhere! So I haven’t had one in years. I’ve only been on a modified carnivore way of eating for just under 3 months; I’m still experimenting. I’m eager for my next blood draw, in about a month. I may want to adjust my fruit intake depending on my numbers. That’s the rational way to proceed, I think.

Paul says he ended up with "heart palpitations, poor sleep, muscle cramps". Aren't those almost certainly electrolyte issues, NOT "I need to add fruit and honey" issues??

Wild fruits, as with wild foods high in omega-6s, are mostly available later in the year. They are an evolved trigger for producing and storing fat in preparation for winter. Even in many places near the equator, the fruit and honey season is short. For the Hadza, the availability in the wet season only lasts 2-3 months. That means for 9-10 months of the year even many equatorial people are eating few carbs at all. And because they aren't in need of putting on fat for winter, they don't necessarily eat tons of sugar even then. That is according to the nutritionist Mary Ruddick who has visited the Piraha on many occasions at different times of the year. Saladino generally ignores such contrary and inconvenient info. He also overlooks the fact that the Hadza, though near the equator, have a fruit and honey season that only lasts 2-3 months a year. And even during the fruit and honey season, they prioritize meat and only eat sugary foods as an occasional treat. Yet he used the Hadza as justification of eating large amounts of sugary modern cultivars of fruits every day of the year. By the way, he only visited the Hadza one time and for something like one day. Ruddick, in a video with Harry Serpanos, talks about that visit as she was there too, but Saladino left so quickly that she didn't get to meet him. She could've set Saladino straight, as she is closely familiar with their diet. If Saladino was only eating wild fruit in season, his argument would at least be reasonable. Wild fruit tends to be small. Even the early fruit cultivars were tiny compared to today's cultivars. A peach during the Bronze Age was about the size of a cherry. And that was already cultivated to be larger than it's wild ancestor. But on top of that, the sugar content and concentration was so much lower, with much more fiber. One has to eat handfuls of many kinds of wild berries to get the amount of sugar in a single modern grape. Also, the honey comb the Hadza eat contains more than honey, as the comb itself has a lot of protein and grubs in it.

People can feel good one day and not the next. Sometimes it takes time to identify why you feel different especially when trying to pinpoint if food is the culprit. One size does not fit all folks, there's no blame/shame in changing your diet to feel better or optimize your health. People are allowed to change their diet and/or mind.

I would say too much "man made" fructose is the bad thing 100% As a NASH liver disease survivor.

Saladino = marketing man, in the eighties he would have been be the perfect door to door seller.

Mindblowing video with Saladino as always. Thanks so much

I got off of 2 sugar diabetes meds eating honey. I kept up with my blood work to make sure I was alright,and I am. That's been years ago. I still keep up with blood work, and I'm still fine 😊 Talked to others who did the same, and they found out the same.

My great grandmother lived in Louisiana and grew sugar cane and would harvest it and her Jenny would walk in circles all day to grind it down and capture the juice and jar it for selling and trading And when I was a kid, the Farmer's Markets would sell it and hand out stumpy samples to passersby to gnaw on while shopping (Im 53)

As a health/PE teacher for 30 years my popular "mantra" to my students for PE was: "Earn your balls!" All the other PE teachers would just go to the equipment room once the students dressed out and release the basketballs and volleyballs and then chat on the side. I was the black sheep...I made my students warm their muscle first, stretch, and then15 -20 minutes of calisthetics culminating with sprints. I apply "Earn your... to all facets of life including "Earn your Carbs!" Plan to eat more carbs that day? Deplete your muscle glycogen stores by more exercise! Those extra carbs will restore the depleted glycogen in your muscles. Lets keep thing simple! KISS: Keep it Simple Smart!

This video is so contractible with the others Thomas videos where Thomas always says that we need to put fibers on our diet

You learn over time. I respect him

you can take cacao paste or powder/butter and make your own snickers type creations or coat raw cacao over nuts ,it tempers well with maple syrup or honey, and can remain raw and nutrient dense. if you want to replace chocolate bars. ceremonial cacao drink with some raw milk might be the best coffee replacement out there also. replace bad stuff with superfood versions

Great video

I am thankful to have found Dr. Saladino. I've been eating Carnivore and meat-heavy Keto, and have very low energy. Now I'm adding in fruit, honey, and some low oxalate veggie carbs. I don't have access to raw milk, but have organic probiotic cottage cheese. Lots of advice on the web, we all have to find what works for us individually.

Some how I did not like the title of the video . Paul has not changed his mind over fruits and sugar , carbs from fruit . So I think the title could have been better .

"Raising your glucose is not harmful to humans" ..... tell that to my vision loss, nerve damage, liver and kidney problems.

I've learned to never have a "definitive" view on anything. Through experience i learned what I laughed about as "crazy" became "normal", and then back again, full circle. In fact, my own grandfather's state of health, directly contradicts all accepted longevity and health "advice". Within context of the topic discussed, my own experience is some sugary drinks or foods, make me sleep after consuming. Those are the ones that I know are bad for me.

I'll never give up my few squares of of 88% cacao each day. There are so many "experts", many being doctors, who disagree about nutrition. I say people aren't sick and obese because they are not carnivores; it's because they are addicted to junk foods, especially sugar. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and it was so rare to see an obese person; now they are all over the place. Pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Robert Lustig, noticed a huge increase in childhood obesity, HTN, and diabetes when the medical experts convinced food makers to remove fats from foods and replace it with sugar (particularly HFCS), in the 50's. Over time the results started to show, sick fat kids and adults.

Almost all fruit we eat today is cultivated to contain way more fructose and less fibre than its ancestral derivatives. Just something to think about. Fruit should only be eaten now and then. Paul and Thomas are extremely active individuals who can get away with eating a lot of fruit. The general population will just end up with a fatty liver if they eat a ton of fruit.

I've experienced great success having 2 carnivore days and 1 day that includes fruit, honey, dairy (if tolerated, I use goat milk personally). Interestingly, I've found it actually keeps me on the wagon a lot better than going to either extreme.

Excellent!

Love these guys collabs. Saladino is just being practical as hell. Eat real good and avoid the shit that comes from a factory. Simple and extremely effective.

Brilliant discussion and an example of developmental research. Both guys are great, both guys are open to discussion and change .... they way we all should be.

People seem to forget fruit never used to be really sweet for example the orginal apple was the crab apple which wasn't sweet. Humans crossbread fruit to be unnaturally sweeter.

You have to look at the big picture. We tend to get tunnel vision, focusing on the microcosm, I know I'm guilty of it too, all the time. You have to force a habit of stepping back and looking at the whole forest, not just the microscopic bugs on a single leaf. Sustained high levels of glucose are well known to be harmful. That doesn't equate to all glucose spikes being bad, you are right about that. I understand that a carnivore diet works for most people, but we are omnivores, and consuming fruits and vegetables along with meat makes sense when you look at how our intestines are designed. We are not cows, but neither are we lions, and even a lion will eat medicinal plants when it feels the need.

Was a vegan and touted that, then went carnivore and sold that to everyone - Sounds like a fad rider. Ultimately a balanced diet is best.

In the 60’s candy bars had milk chocolate, nuts, palm oils and cane sugar. Monsanto was just getting started, mainly in Canada, stealing farms. Allegedly.

I like how Paul always challenges what he knows to keep trying to improve

Please do a video on the 2 I'll mention next: Ribose, a simple sugar and carbohydrate, seen in some drinks... Also Isomaltulose (trade name Palatinose), a disaccharide carbohydrate composed of glucose and fructose. It is naturally present in honey and sugarcane extracts and is also produced industrially from table sugar (sucrose) and used as a sugar alternative. It tastes similar to table sugar with half the sweetness. It has the same energy as table sugar, but is digested slower and thus leads to a lower blood glucose and insulin response. In comparison with sucrose and most other carbohydrates, isomaltulose is not a significant substrate for oral bacteria. Consequently, acid production from isomaltulose in the mouth is too slow to promote tooth decay. Its physical properties closely resemble those of sucrose, making it easy to use in existing recipes and processes. In nutrition, isomaltulose is a source of food energy, providing the same amount of energy as sucrose. Like sucrose, isomaltulose provides sweetness to foods, but isomaltulose is only about half as sweet as sucrose.

Reminds me of the time when I brought up eating half a banana, tablespoon of peanut butter, half a keto friendly tortilla, and an 8oz glass of milk as a DESERT and was shot down by people even being told it has as much carbs as a McDonalds double cheeseburger. Zealots will be zealots.

Id like to see that study on the diabetics eating 120-150 g of honey and their numbers improving...🤔

Tried his honey with my keto for 2 months and arthritis went through the roof , quit honey and went back to monk fruit sweetener and arthritis cleared up .

I like how Paul talked about how there's a lumping together of things under the umbrella of sugar that are not necessarily the same. It's a very similar problem to the "red meat" studies that treat processed salami the same as steak.

This title and the one in the thumbnail is confusing. It made me think Saladino did an about face.

My heart palpitations went away with sugar elimination.

To say that the problem with sugar is that it has additional chemicals in it sounds like copium. To me, sugar is indeed a problem. What exacerbates the sugar problem is sedentarism and not well defined meal times. That leads to chronic levels is high insulin, which is one of the causes of insulin resistance. Or not?

I have bought freshly squeezed 100% orange juice with the pulp in the past. But when you drink a glass you have to understand you are drinking about 5 oranges which you wouldn't do in the whole form. Once off, it could have benefits, just like you could claim with anything else. But it's not normal to drink it every day. There is so much nuance to this conversation and I don't like Paul because he misses it. I don't understand why Thomas works with him?

I think, fruit grows just in limited time of the year (after summer) for some reason. Make us insuline resistant , than we can gain some weight and prepare for winter.

He's bummed about the glucose spike fear mongering, yet he propagated a bunch of it. This guy is something else

Seasonal eating is the natural diet. Fruit isn’t available year round, honey is an occasional food. Meat on the other hand is available year round in the wild. No one has died from eating a poisonous piece of meat (unless a snake or puffer fish but we are talking about land animals and red meat). Meat was the most abundant, calorie dense and year round food source. Is is not difficult to determine what we survived on naturally for several millennia. Eating all these seasonal type foods year round is an industrial creation. Not a genetically natural position.

I think what paul does is (mostly) great, being on either end of the extreme is bad. My problem with him is its a bit TOO much fruit. I live in okinawa (born and raised native) and we eat mainly meat especially pork and seafood BUT we also eat goya hijiki edamame spirilina tofu and green tea. So while we lean towards the carnivore side we eat a solid amount of plant foods. I also dont think its wrong to learn something new and go back on what you previously thought thats how you grow and evolve. Also fruit within reason is fine some people do great on zero carbs and some people need a bit of carbs both are fine

When he's talking about fruit juices I believe he means the natural kind without high fructose corn syrup and added sugar.

Nut butter is just nuts put in a blender. If it's too dry add butter (oil) -- hence the name "nut + butter"! But I always appreciate some good products out there to buy for those of us who lack the conscientiousness to blend nuts.

I can't watch a full video with Paul in it, but I can say getting most of my fat as stearic acid has helped me tremendously

Eating more fiber has helped me a lot, only from fruits and veggies, but i cant agree with him that fiber doesn't matter.

If these guys want to stay in business for a while, they might have to “change their minds” a few times if they don’t want to repeat themselves…

Love it. Keto/carivore are excellent elimination and foundation diets but all the foods he’s talking about have an important place too.

I really like and follow both these guys. Question though about Saladino and referencing the Hadza a lot. Who says the Hadza is the be-all nutrition example to follow? Does he explain why somewhere. Maybe on one of his podcasts that I’ve not listened to. Idk.

Dude I like you and your content but this title and thumbnail are not it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

A juice glass is the smallest glass for a reason. A blood sugar spike a couple times a day is one thing, but with snacks we are spiking it all day long. Also, what got you here won’t get you there.

The Hadza DO eat massively different amounts of fiber at different times of the year. There's no berries in the dry season. During the dry season they primarily eat meat, with tubers as a fallback. They become fat adapted during the dry season, and then eat more carbs/fiber/antioxidants during the rain season when plants are bountiful. This is the way we are supposed to eat.

I think paul is great . He looks incredibly healthy

Here’s my issue. Saladino is naturally thin. Even pre-carnivore, he was thin (maybe too thin). He’s somebody that doesn’t have to worry about insulin spiked (which does cause weight gain-that’s why bodybuilders consume sugar, via gummy bears OR fruit, immediately after a workout). Gut issues consuming fructose aside, insulin spikes aside, fruit definitely has always caused me to gain weight-even with me running 5 miles a day and sticking to ultra strict paleo. If you’re a naturally thin person, you just don’t understand that some people have a hard time processing AND burning off carbs. Like I said, naturally thin people don’t have to worry about this. People like me, Chris Pratt, and many of you: we feel best and look best eliminating as much plantbased foods as possible.

I read Lierre Keith's book, then I read Paul's. Lierre seemed genuinely concerned and had compassion. I didn't get the same feeling from Paul's book. He just seemed like a salesman to me. Then I learned about how he lives and have listened to many other practicing doctors, and have come to the conclusion that Paul not only doesn't really know what he's talking about, but he's also not someone that an average person should model themselves after considering his lifestyle vs an average working person's lifestyle. However, he has influenced many people to go carnivore, so there's that.

Does thrive ship to canada?

BRUH I am so confused, LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AGO Paul Saladino was on your channel for the video "Why Paul Saladino Quit Carnivore & Now Eats 300g of Carbs Per Day," like are doctors seriously gonna waste 40 more minutes of my time every month with opposite recommendations?

Paul is the GREATEST CLOWN I’ve seen in the internet. Not trustworthy at all. It was one thing if he showed to us some level of skepticism whenever he’s following one of his diets but no lol he’s always SO confident as if everyone is wrong and he’s figured everything out. At this point it just feels like propaganda. We all have to remember all these people including Thomas make money out of these videos and have to ALWAYS maintain a fresh audience and find new ways to get more “clicks” thats what the media is about nowadays. I’ve achieved this year the BEST physic ever literally ripped by eating all sorts of whole foods (vegs, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, sweet potatoes, oats & green tea) and lifting weights & cardio and before I was always stuck and seeing very minimal results because of listening to so much BS and fear of foods that are actually good for us.

I found this interesting and my Manuka MGO50+ might be useful after all. Seems that choosing well and moderation is the key, at least for me.

So what is my store bought fruit potentially being sprayed with? My pear trees need to grow up already!

Let's keep in mind that the fruit available today is much higher in sugar than what our ancestors had. I wish we still had a "fruit off a tree" available to all of us. I'm sorry, but his message did not come through well at all...

His name ain’t SALADino for nothing 😉 🥗 + 🦖 = SALAD DINO 🥁 💥😂

As hard as it is to type this…There’s also an energetic resonance difference at the quantum level of natural foods vs synthesized industrially made sugars.

It's hard to find good quality fruit here in the U.S., especially in the midwest and northern states. Most "fresh" berries and tropical fruits that I can find aren't properly ripe and don't digest well. It's so frustrating because I've been to central America and remember the fruit there being SO good and feeling so good.

Breaking news : nature is perfect - just don’t process her.

Would it be fair to say that if you are overweight and insulin resistant and in poor health, that you should avoid fruit/carbs to get healthy first, and then, if desired, start reincorporating some fresh fruits and see how you feel?

Those "Fruitarian" girls usually weigh about 95 pounds, not saying it's healthy, but fruit alone doesn't make you fat

What about losing weight started keto and Cardo and dropped from 235 - 219 in 2 weeks , stopped drinking ipa beers and pasta breads and been doing healthy meats , fish and greens and workout in fastest state in morning and stopped eating at 5pm. I do want fruit so can I incorporate grapes and apples in diet or would I benefit to wait until I hit my goal of 165 then start to eat it? Also on keto but will switch to low carb once hit goal weight.

i swear people wanna make diet the most complicated subject on earth. Just eat whole foods and you're fine, if you can find organic then that's better. People believing something is bad for them makes it bad for them even "good" foods. Don't underestimate the power of your mind.

I did a shot every time he mentions the hadza. 9 shots later, i'm plastered.

Remember that highly processed foods are highly subsidized and that is why they are cheaper to produce than extracting the nutrients from whole fruits, raw dairy, raw honey, and of course pasture raised animal based foods

3:25 Paul you lost me at promoting OJ. Of course we need a little carbs. But processed OJ? I have a banana, blueberries, blackberries when my body asks. Mainly I do golden ground organic flax seed with Canadian Maple Sryup. The smallest serving fills you up. I eat 98% beef with a few sides including butter, horseradish, fermented kosher pickels, organic sauerkraut. I love it and I am becoming a real peaceful beast everyday because I learn. Thank you for your energy. Tom, I'd love to be on your show to share my story & insights.
