Mine too! 😂

I watched while eating grass-fed meat loaf, organic spinach, and broccoli. 👍🏼

Watched it while eating frozen coconut+peanut butter+shredded coconut keto cookies. On a sidenote, olive oil is actually very good and healthy, just as olives, especially for keto. Extra-virgin olive oil has one of the highest smoking points, among all oils, while avocado oil is the highest smoking point among all oils, the only other thing that's better than avocado oil is ghee. If you don't have avocado oil, or ghee, or extra-virgin olive oil, you can mix both butter and olive oil and cook on slow fire, in order not to hit the smoking point.

@@luciusnetheril While EVOO itself is a healthier option, cooking with high temps is not recommended as it's a mostly unsaturated fat. Best used as garnish.

@@luciusnetheril Those keto cookies sounds pretty good, BTW.

Thank you for adding names to my reading list!

They say those who need to be explosive, need to take in carbs. However, I have guys who do fine training who are on keto. In other words, 🤷‍♂️.

Gotta give it time and no carbs. I’ve been doing it for over a year now, I experimented with a carb load a few weeks ago with white rice noodles and had no benefit at all. If anything I felt worse. Just have to give your body the correct stimulus and time to adapt.

Takes months to build more mitochondria apparently. Full effects should be after a year of keto.

i generally feel better, although my schedule makes getting enough sleep a challenge. i don't have constant allergies anymore and know for sure, what foods cause them. i'm pretty lean and in great shape for being 50+. have normal bp, and cholesterol. no meds at all, not even ibuprofen/tylenol. just went through life insurance underwriting and came back "super standard," mostly because of sleep apnea (otherwise i should have easily hit preferred or preferred plus), which generally causes a MUCH higher insurance risk class (much more expensive policy) than normal. i've always felt fine rolling, before and after beginning fasting/eating like this.

@@KamaJiuJitsu thank you. I would be curious how you thyroid level, T3 specifically, respond to this diet. Would like to see a follow up on how it's going in a few months.

Bloodwork all in normal ranges

I have been doing carnivore for about the last 8 months. I totally feel you about cheat days. I feel so bad after a cheat day that it usually doesn't even seem worth cheating anymore.

Proper punctuation generally helps people understand what your saying, by the way. Using a "?" after a question, for example. Just saying :)

No

Read "Flipping the Metabolic Switch," by my buddy Steve Anton PhD. Your fast is not long enough to get the benefits you could be getting by going just a little longer. Best!

from the few muslims i've known, they just go through life as regular during ramadan. think about it, it's just a sunup-sundown intermittent fast. they also do it "dry." i've done a 24hr dry fast once. felt weird, but it was totally doable. i read something that the average muslim actually GAINS weight during ramadan since they tend to eat a lot during their feeding hours, more calories than they would typically eat when not in ramadan.

@@KamaJiuJitsu Something that they are conditioned to,, as like you say they eat a lot before and after the day. The Evening meal is REALLY big. It would be the hydration part I'd worry about. Then again Ramadan is also a Holiday as in they don't work, I've spent some time in the Mid East/ South West Asia and the heat and humidity on the Gulf can be Brutal. If you did any amount of strenuous activity during the heat of the day you would dehydrate quickly. Like I said pretty sure they would also forego or change training times.

Do they train outdoors, too?

@@KamaJiuJitsu I would assume that like any other country they would train indoors, I spent some time in a US Civilian Compound in Al Jubail. It was state of the art ( less then 5 Years Old) and had a gym there. We had some Boxing Smokers and sparring going on ( BJJ was pretty Much Unknown) While it was Cooler than outside you still would be sweating like a Mississppi Preacher when you worked out. It got cooler at night, but still very humid.

Is that why I haven’t seen you in the studio as often?

@@KamaJiuJitsu ha, no. That's because of all the events and activities where everyone else is in my family is having ice cream and all that other stuff.

Aw, c’mon, it ain’t gonna be that bad!

@@KamaJiuJitsu lol I feel you but I've gone a long time without eating before because of the lack of funds and for me the headaches and the dizziness gets me feeling like I'm gonna throw up and on one occasion I've actually passed out where I completely turn pale. So what I do now is not eat after 7pm and won't after 12pm but I try to push it to 2pm and that's like the max for me because after that is when I start feeling sick. Maybe it's because I'm overweight and just jumping the gun to much or my matabelism is to fast, idk. I definitely gotta see a MD to se what's wrong with me, but I'm completely immobilized after 18hrs of fasting.

snake diet

One hour at a time, brother.

Fat is a very potent source of energy.

That’s the background music at Starbucks. Trying to figure out a better solution on the sound thing. Was using a lavelier mic clipped to my shirt. Looking at other solutions for that environment.

that’s what I’m talkin bout!

You state many truisms, but... A cow raised on a ranch grazes when grass is out and hay when it’s not. Just like bison, deer, and elk, they can eat naturally off natural, I disturbed plains. It all grows back without any help from man, and the animals don’t disturb the root systems of the grasses. Agriculture is a lot of giant corporate farms raising GMO soy and GMO corn and spraying a shit ton of pesticides and insecticides, OTOH.

@@KamaJiuJitsu By far most meat sold in Europe and North America is not from animals that graze much. Most of it is cows that live inside, often stuck in little metal boxes, eating a lot of cheap soy and similar crap. A lot of the plant farming in the world is for cattle feed.

So eat grass fed, grass finished cows, bison, elk, venison, lamb, fish, shellfish, etc. I’m still not becoming vegetarian/vegan. The farm lobby is among the largest in the US.

💯%!! 😂

Thanks!

Good read, thanks.

@@KamaJiuJitsu You're welcome. I don't mean to be divisive, but it is frustrating sometimes to see how widespread misinformation can get, especially so quickly. It sucks that things such as money and bias has to get in the way of the truth, but it all just comes down to who is skilled enough to pick apart the good from the bad. All in all, the science is clear, but you have to be skilled in order to not be fooled by someone with bias or monetary incentive. It's like BJJ, you know there's stuff you don't know, and that stuff you have to work at to understand and be better at. Anyway, good luck with your nutrition studies, I know it can be confusing.

@@7lets Dr.Here's the bottom line: the only diet that has been scientifically demonstrated to reverse heart disease, to slow, stop, or reverse early-stage prostate cancer, and to reverse aging by lengthening telomeres (among other benefits) is a whole-foods plant-based diet low in both fat AND refined carbohydrates. No one has ever done a randomized trial proving that a high-fat, low-carb diet can reverse heart disease. We now have 40 years of science that shows it actually makes it worse. It's not just fats or carbs--animal protein is harmful and plant-based proteins are protective and healing. For example, in a study of over 130,000 men and women, animal protein intake was associated with higher premature mortality from all causes, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and the most common types of cancer. Replacing animal protein with plant protein lowered the risk of premature mortality. In another study of over 6,000 people, those ages fifty to sixty-five who reported eating diets high in animal protein had a 75 percent increase in overall mortality, a 400 percent increase in cancer deaths, and a 500 percent increase in type 2 diabetes during the following eighteen years, whereas plant-based proteins reduced risk of premature death in all of these categories--again, a double benefit. I'm sharing this not because I feel particularly dug in on one camp of the diet wars and want to score points for my camp, but because I think the science is overwhelming and while you may lost weight on a keto diet, I don't like to see my friends leverage their long term health in the process. The above research can be found in Dean and Ann Ornish, UnDo It! How Simple Lifestyle Changes can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases (2019). There's lots of great research on the benefits of fasting (especially the work of Dr. Valter Longo. I've had great success in losing weight using fasting and a whole-food plant based diet.

Good for you. Dean Ornish saved my cousin many years ago after he had two heart attacks in his 60s. He died in his 90s! Now, Dean does not eat pure vegan. He does eat some fish and maybe low fat dairy. I eat "vegan with seafood, mostly fish." Yes, whole food - high plant. I also do IF. Just pay attention to your nutrients. Many people eventually get into trouble with a pure vegan diet. Just because it is better than what you were eating, it may still have some problems. I hope I don't come across as being critical, just as information in a discussion. I don't support strict paleo, keto, or carnivore. I'm talking as a lifestyle, it's different in the short term.

@@Docinaplane Dr. Ornish has a great book on the subject... "The Spectrum" Which, the TLDR version is: Eat healthy to the degree you need to be healthy. For some, this may mean throwing in a salad now and then. For others, this may mean daily fruits and veggies. For others still, with a family history of most males dying before age 45 from heart disease (which is my hx), this may mean eating a while food plant based diet. The peer reviewed science from Dr. Ornish alone supports this, in addition Dr. Esselstyn, Dr. McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard... etc. It's more than just, I'm a Dr. so do this... it's, here's the scientific evidence, it's reviewed, and published. This is the standard of science. This works for me. I am aware of others this does not work for. As KamaJJ says above, you need to figure out what works for you. For me, the Dr.'s, the science, and my own science and medical training tell me this works for me. My wife and kids don't eat this way... but the numbers and lack of need for medications I previously needed speak for themselves... for me :).

the best "diet" is the one that works best for you. some work well in the short run, but not in the long run, and vice versa. so riddle me this... speaking of all the doctors you like to rely on and cite. what about the four medical doctors i cited in this video who say things similar (but not the same) to each other, but NONE of them talk about going vegan? Gundry is the closest to having a more conventional diet, but he says what to stay away from (i.e. processed foods, tomato seeds and skins and other nightshades, beans (unless cooked in a pressure cooker), fruit not in season, all bread except for sourdough, milk only from golden guernsey cows or goats, but eat a lot of avocados and olive oil). but even Gundry says to eat grass fed, grass finished beef, pasture raised chicken, wild caught fish.

I don’t listen to doctors unless they have many papers and are well versed in the nutrition community because doctors are given no training on nutrition, many of them are speaking without having done the studies or even looking at them. I went vegan because it’s the best diet without question for the environment, the fact that it has helped me gain over 60 pounds of muscle in under 2 years is just a bonus! I’ve had the best gains of my life from going vegan and proved all my friends wrong when they told me I’d be skinny for the rest of my life

@@messi444444444444444 I call bullshit. Received wisdom is that a man can gain between 1-2lbs of muscle per month naturally. That is 48lbs in two years. What cycles were you on?

🤷‍♂️ works for them.

sorry didn’t mean it to be a sarcastic comment, I lol, bc I’m really recently Trying it out, like at the same time your video came out. Thought it was ku. 3-4 Papayas for a meal. It got rid of my Gurd in a day! It was so awesome I had to chuckle a bit. But ya buddy, GRACIE DIET ALL THE WAY!

You mean like the diet of a gorilla?

You vegans are the most closed minded group of people. There is a militant vegan who wrote a book I read. Lierre Keith. “The Vegetarian Myth.” Good book. Sorry, I’ll never go plant based. You can, though.

@@KamaJiuJitsu and you guys are the least evidence based

@@KamaJiuJitsu belief. that's why you got sick can't fix stupid

I didn’t get sick, dumbass. The author of the Vegetarian Myth was the one who got sick.
