Check out some B vitamins. If you can get a blood work up? Do it! There is a doctor on YT who fided his insomnia by drinking I think Monsters. He realized everytime he drank it he would sleep later. Turns out he had some deficiencies! Think b12 is the most common. Yet others can. My insomnia went away. Thank God! Well I still wake up all the God damn time, yet I can fall asleep in 15 which is amazing for someone who suffered from insomnia. Anyway yeah b12 is the most common one. I wish melatonin worked for me.

Ive basically been malnourished for months w/out realizing it bcuz my diet was too high in oxolates. So even though i ate rly substantially & vry healthy, the oxolate levels would basically bind to the nutrients & calories to where i wasnt getting any benefit from them. Didnt know too many nuts & microgreens could be bad for u! It's been 2 months of a highly restrictive diet, & i still havent gained any weight or energy. It sucks bcuz i miss potatos & spinach (1st world problems am i right?) Point is, it's still possible for ur body to still be trying to supplement it bcuz u arent absorbing it for whatever reason. If you're having to use charcoal filters or toothbrushes, that would do it.

I find this to a more likely reason for why cultures have a high conjunction of eating beans and rice together. Also beans and carbs together make a really filling meal. And both are usually easier to procure than meat and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Rice tastes very bland in itself. But combining it with legumes improves the taste by a lot!

Any farmer who doesn't kill everything with roundup , and uses Monsanto seeds , has good soil when rotational cropping is the norm . As for rice - soak it overnight , to remove arsenic , which the plants pick up from the soil , where it's present , which is most places it's grown .

That's exactly the word for this!

I think misconception would be fine if everyone misunderstanding the bit about different foods and a full set of essential amino acids yada yada were all taking the same source to mean something different, but given how widespead the notion of certain plant foods not having certain amino acids has become, and given that it is brought up as gospel that doesn't even come close to mentioning the book that started it all, I think *myth* is more accurate of a term (on top of making for a better title)

The arguments in this video reinforce the Truth that you will be healthier eating beans and rice than just one or other, they Are complimentary. The only misconception is the "requirement" that they be eaten together. It's very disturbing that true information is being removed from an explanation, in the name of myth busting.

@@John-iv5fw You make a good point. What you say is very true. If I wasn’t attentive enough to combine proteins to get “complete protein” at each main meal of the day I wouldn’t be as healthy as I am now. I don’t have a vegan or vegetarian diet but I do strictly adhere to a pescetarian diet _(i.e, vegetarian food + seafood)_ and I eat significantly less dairy than the average American. I only eat two servings of seafood per week so that means greater than 90% of my weekly meals are vegetarian. In order to get an ideal amount of all the essential amino acids, an ideal amount of the other macronutrients/micronutrients/minerals/bioactive compounds in food all while consuming a reasonable amount of calories I HAVE to protein combine. If you’re someone who consumes a full serving of meat, seafood, eggs and/or high protein dairy products with most of your meals then “protein combining” probably won’t make too much of a difference when you’re eating plant-based meals but otherwise protein combining is beneficial for your health and nutrition

That’s why it has quotations. It’s what other people are calling it. Edit: I realize now that you meant in general, sorry.

Carbs are so destructive to kidneys and your husband eats rice.

“The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”

It’s still possible to lose weight on any diet - just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less,” as it may result in having to go hungry forever. Sooner or later, many will likely give up and eat without restriction, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting.” While it should be possible to lose weight on any diet, some appear to make it easier and some to make it much harder. The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it may cause you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories, overweight people tend to eat fewer calories on low carb. Thus, calories count, but you don’t need to count them.

I have been thinking the same for a while, I am not a vegetarian or a vegan but It is insanely cringe to see how people respond to someone even mentioning it. I don't know if it is an emotional response to an attack of something they like or just dudes trying to role play as tough men, but every single time the topic is mentioned people start saying the most unhinged things to try to disregard veganism.

The old adage of "how do you know somebody is vegan? Don't worry, they'll tell you" is the opposite of reality. Vegans are often cornered into saying they're vegan because everyone else won't shut up about animal products, or will just inconsiderately assume every single person isn't vegan, then lay on the unoriginal OMG BACON "jokes" the second somebody is put in a position where they have to tell you they're vegan.

always the center of attention, meats are so proteintious.. :)

I've been a vegetarian for several years now and my parents still struggle with the idea of me needing a "protein" when I eat with them. They'll make stuff I'll make for myself as a one pot meal and I will make intense eye contact with them and state very clearly "this is all I need. I do not need you to make anything else" (they'll make chicken with theirs) and if I don't watch them I'll still end up with two veggie burgers to go with it. And these are proper vegetable veggie burgers that have like 4g of protein apiece. It is _so_ frustrating. A big reason I became a vegetarian is that I realized how meaty obsessed the US is after being an exchange student in Belgium and I found I couldn't cut back easily without cutting it out entirely

@@chestersnap I've struggled with this a lot, almost all meals in sweden are basically half and half carbs and meat with some veggies and sauce on the side and it has ingrained itself SO deeply in me.. Even after several months of trying to wean myself off of that model it still feels really really strange to eat nothing but some fruit as a meal, though i can at least be satisfied with spaghetti and tomato sauce without needing to add meatballs anymore.

@@Zeus-rq5wn rice specifically white rice does not cause the symptoms you are talking about. Almost anybody on earth can have rice and not feel any negative effects.

Haven't read anything about that, but intuitively it sounds like specific cancers are dependent on certain amino acids more than the rest of the body, and when the body senses that there's less of it to go around, the cancers sound like they would be deemed a lower priority than what's needed to keep us alive, reducing/killing the cancer while our bodies utilize the limited resource for important bodily functions. How far off am I from the mark?

try meat, nothing missing, and none of the lectins, oxalates or other crap that plants have.

It’s also very important to note that there is no research showing a multivitamin and just “dumping” vitamins into you provided any real benefit. So yes, you have to actually consume different foods and should realistically only take a vitamin if you’re severely deficient in it

I had read that the body wants vitamins in whole foods, and getting them in pure synthesized forms after a while freaks out the system and encourages cancer. I try to get a well rounded, well balanced diet, and I do keep some vitamins on hand in case I feel I'm not quite eating right.

Even so, only eating rice is not recommended. Even without meat you should be eating as wide an array of plant foods as your budget allowed.

While that's true that it might better to have a varied diet if people find it so hard eating just rice will still make you healthy.

You're still missing out on vitamins like B12 unless you take supplements. Many vegans refuse to do it out of misplaced pride.

You've caught on early. Most of what people believe came from advertising campaigns and mistaken as fact before being passed down to the next generation.

I agree with what you said. I think that society needs to recognize 2 paths in dieting: calculated; average. With the latter, you just eat a variety, and follow the advice of experts. I think nutrition facts are still not politicized, so we can use that info, plus just do what experts say. With the former, we look at all the nutritional info, and then use a spread sheet to calculate exactly how much we need of whatever we have available. This is good for dieting, budgeting, and peace of mind.

That's a good point but still waay too little on this topic. If you are considering economy and production of food, there is another reason for versatility - lesser risk of famine because of factors influencing harvests, like weather, vermins, diseases. That's another point that is completely re-evaluated. Now it's some economic matter. But for the whole history it was a life and death issue. Introducing new crop that can still provide food when other crops are giving poor harvest often was a huge deal for whole population and development.

@@user-vr8qd4hk6y I was just mentioning a basic truth that seems to lie beneath complementary food consumption, not the single and only answer possible on the topic. Like most human endeavors, the reality is multifaceted and has not just lots of causes but also lots of effects, too.

@@TheePIB Of course. That's just another remark. But I would also say it's hard to explain the singificance of producing enough nutritions from less food through the whole history without pointing out what I added. It's not some small factor, but fundamental one. So I complemented this consideration.

Brilliant discussion, especially tying in the limited resourcefulness of a finite resource such as food! And overall, the calorie thing still comes down to what you want to do with all of that energy you give yourself: walk 30 minutes a day, or surf from sunset to sundown, or etc. But even then it's still important to consider that the "kind" of calories we intake (i.e. nutrition) is just as important as the quantity!

I know right? As a brazillian, same thing. You need your rice and beans to grow big and strong :)

Sometimes common sense is all you need... Grandma's rice and beans tastes good, it's inexpensive, and her parents almost lived to 100. I get tired of all this overthinking the science of diets. Pretty much anything you cook at home is better than junk food or fast food.

That's a science, of sorts. Observe someone eating rice and beans, then someone else eating just rice or just beans of roughly the same amount, and notice that one of the three seems better off

Science progresses fast, but it has nothing on the time-honored wisdom of grandma.

I really doubt that science has a Colombian grandma.

Exactly. Malnutrition mostly occurs from either eating only one staple food with little variation or alternatives, or nowadays in the western world eating overly processed foods that have lost their nutritional value and nothing else. For example, many autistic people have issues because they might make mac and cheese for every meal or whatever their food of choice is.

@@TheSpecialJ11 Gonna need a source on that last part; I'm pretty sure being autistic comes BEFORE eating mac and cheese for every meal. "Normal" people don't have that kind of mental hangup of only being able or willing to eat one food.

Essentially the same as Indians eating rice and daal.

Just an FYI but no legume completely lacks any amino acid, you just don't need to eat as much food to get an adequate amount of all the amino acids if you eat both grains and legumes.

Every plant has every amino acid. There's just maybe 20% less methionine in lentils, and a bit of extra lysine. But you don't have to care at all because in all likelihood you do regularly eat rice or bread or pasta (ie wheat) or other grains. No need for it to be rice in particular.

Grains and wheat are low nutrient high insulin hypoglycaemic foods. You don’t need those they’re cheap fillers products to have more ‘meat’ on your plate

Supposedly tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis, from the Andes) is as balanced (amino acid wise) as soybeans, but you need to wash out some alkaloids to make it edible.

Rice has too many carbs to be considered healthy and too little of anything else, it has a very horrible kcal to nutrition ratio. Its almost void of minerals. You are better off eating nothing than eating rice because then you'll get hungry faster and will have to eat more nutrient dense foods, covering more of your micro nutrients.

Strictly speaking, they don't have to understand the nutrition for it to be why those foods are combined. All else being equal, if 2 cultures are competing, the one with the food culture that combines foods in a more healthy way is going to have an advantage and (though one of many means) be more likely to survive and have its food culture spread. Understanding is not required for the selection process to take place anymore than it is with genetic evolution. They are healthy to eat in combination can flow right into a causal relation to the frequency in which they are combined. Even down to a smaller level, a family with healthier family recipes is more likely to produce more children who are able to grow into healthy adults who are able to have healthy kids of their own. Likewise, if a family is doing well, others are more likely to emulate things they are doing, even without any understanding of if or why those things would confer an advantage. "What are you feeding them?" is, afterall, something said to a parent who's children are growing up bigger and stronger than average.

I watched a video about a public school serving beans, a purely plant based diet, to students in the African Savannah and you'll never find a public school serving steak or filet mignon to growing children.

Good idea to vary food, period. It was quickly glossed over, but the much bigger issue of eating only white rice 24/7 would be things like scurvy. Having 1 amino acid trailing behind would then be the last of your concerns. If you eat varied foods (as you should to prevent the dozens of nutrient deficiencies more likely to occur than inadequate intake of specific amino acids from eating a single food all the time), there is no need to think of "varying amino sources" like it is an additional necessary step to prevent a problem that the former, more important step (varied foods overall) didn't already deal with.

@@Hubcool367 That and vitamin B deficiency. The Japanese Navy had a problem with that during the 1800s because one of the signing bonuses for joining was as much white rice as you wanted to eat. I think they called it something along the lines of, "Beri Beri."

@@eanschaan9392 absolutely ! I'm no expert but I'd guess there's a life threatening condition for most of deficiencies. Another one would be vitamin A deficiency causing blindness and death, thus the search to create a "golden rice", a rice which would naturally contain vitamin A/beta-carotene and save hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives

Also fully formed omega 3s(DHA) are required to build healthy baby brains. That requires meat, fish, eggs, or supplementation. Unlike men women store DHA in the fat on their buttocks and thighs just for that purpose. 🤓🍻

If you're talking about plant based diets with adequate calories, I would be interested in links if you can provide them.

That's why Ayurveda told khichadi is the best...

Same, i could understand thinking that it needs to be eaten during the same day so the body has ready access to everything at once, but eating it in the same meal implies that people think there's some sort of chemical reaction going on in your stomach, which is a very strange idea..

You weren't there for the whole "but, you won't get enough protein!!" freakout of the 90s and early 00s then. Ppl wanted to find any reason to gloat to vegetarians or vegans that the diet was unhealthy, when it wasn't. Now it's the same but it comes from keto freaks instead.

​@@littlestbroccoli well for Americans whose history starts in 1990s that may be so, but for people that live in regions that domesticated these plants and civilized humanity by Neolithic revolution, then Bronze Age cultures and finally the Classical period eating both rice and beans, or bread and other grains and beans was a norm.

They get a bad rap because half the population can't digest them properly and end up creating more gas emissions than the entire 20th century. They're killers.

Beans are not normal human food ,,, eat 5 raw LEGUME beans and you will know why

Black beans are really good for that because they contain anthocyanins, the same stuff that's in acai berries or blueberries, and very helpful for keeping a healthy weight and reducing hunger.

Practically every large scale study on legume consumption and mortallity tells me that Americans not eating beans or things that are related to beans is a genuine public health crisis.

@@hypothalapotamus5293 Every part of common sense indicates legumes are NOT human food. For a start ,, unless properly cooked they are DEADLY poisonous and as humans experimented with foods they would have been black listed.

Yeah, it's mainly B12 that vegan diets really lack. You need supplements or adequate consumption of fortified foods to meet the requirements for it

@@raerohan4241 1 spoonful of marmite contains multiple times over the daily vitamin B12 requirement… I’ll be fine :)

@@SimonWoodburyForget Thats dangerous, please edit.

Yeah well, a lot of proteins get wasted if you dont get enough of all essential amino acids. Besides, if you have a raised protein requirement, if you are growing or doing hard labor for example, its really important to get all essential amino acids in adequate amounts. Thats hard to do as a vegan, and you definitely need to eat a lot and diverse. Or you could just consume a whey protein shake, or a eat a little meat. I once thought that i could just eat nuts for protein, it turns out if i get my protein mostly from nuts id have to eat A LOT of nuts to satisfy my demand. Just like adam pointed out, you need a diverse diet and, paradoxically, the more you restrict it, the more diverse it needs to be. We are made to eat meat, you CAN be healthy without it, but especially when you are still developing, or working a lot, a normal diet is WAY more optimal.

@@raerohan4241 True, but farmed animals are all supplemented with B12 as well, and a large portion of meat eaters are lacking B12 too. So in the end, I'd say it's best to take a blood test and see if dietary change or supplements are needed, regardless of your diet.

Sorry to hear you got sick from your diet! First question, how do you know you were protein deficient? Did you get a blood test for hypoproteinemia? Second, how is your digestion? Do you usually have any digestive problems?

Humans can't synthesize two essential amino acids and no plant protein has them. They must come from an animal source. The source can be any animal protein such as meat, eggs, milk, cheese, insects, eggs or even from excreta left on your vegetables. This is the reason our health codes allows a little #303 can to have up to 43 insect parts in them. If you have no animal protein then your body must take it from your muscles. Only a small amout is needed. Many animals can synthesize these amino acids themselves. Never put yourself on a total vegetarian diet but always consume a couple of ounces a day fo milk or some form of animal protein.

@@alibarron7558 Which amino acids?

@@gloriouszorn4578 Llysine and methionine, which of course plants do contain but not as much as meat. A vegan shouldn't need to worry. In fact there is some evidence that excess methionine is bad for you which may be one reason why vegetarians & vegans tend to live longer than meat eaters.

@@alibarron7558 you're spouting absolute nonsense.

the real question is after all these years of biochemistry was it worth it? (ToT)

As a massive fucking chemistry hater, I also appreciate when that science offers something of value to my life. Do what you love though!

I find the molecular construct of proteins vastly more interesting than the amino acids themselves, although it's interesting to see how the side chains interact. Although that's why I studied molecular biology and only took a little biochem.

@@dariusbosz1370 Yeah I think so. For some reason I put a heavy emphasis on myself to major in something that would be useful to understand and know in daily life and have always been interesting in how the body reacts to things on physiological and biological level so.

As a person who has taken one biology class, I was like, "Hey, amino acids. I know what those are."

@@SimonWoodburyForget or a lie in

Since I'm not old enough to have read the original book, I didn't get the notion from there. Honestly I swear I learned it in like health class in high school, internalized it and never looked back

It’s not that people believe you need to eat both to get the nutritional value, just that between the two of them you a decent amount the 9 essential amino acids

You practically have to. Of course you can have two separate, consecutive "meals", but what's the point of that. In the end all essential amino acids must be taken regularly in sufficient amount for your body to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

"There seems to be a small but vocal minority who seem to want to make eating as complicated as possible." I think people just take science out of context. Most people do not like reading scientific papers and will just go by hear-say. Like Adam said, food CAN be really complicated, like when you are trying to gain muscle while losing fat. Meaning you "need" to get a high intake of complete proteins on a low caloric intake. At this point it can start to matter, as science shows that in extreem situations (bodybuilders, athletes etc.) up to (or more than) 2.5grams of complete proteins per kg of body-weight will still benefit muscle growth. However, you need to look at the context, as most people are not close to those levels of strain on their muscles even if they go to the gym 2-3 times a week, these numbers do not apply to them. (Higher protein intake is still needed, but not to those extreem numbers.) There is also a huge difference between the minimal needed amount and the amount that still benefits health or certain goals and research generally focus on one of the two: -Minimum needed research looks at the minimum value you can take without direct negative consequences. -Beneficial amount research looks at the maximum (or just different) values something still has a positive effect. The resulting numbers are often hugely different. Generally 0.8-1.2g per kg of protein is said as a minimum, while 1.5-3g per kg of protein can still enhance muscle growth as an example. Edit: I wanted to add that the NHANES suggests that about 40% of America are not getting their minimum protein requirements. (Source: "Population protein intakes and food sustainability indices: The metrics matter")

Adam implied in the end of the video tha carbs causes increase of body fat when it should be increase of calories consumed and hence why i didn't like this video and i always watch and like Adam's videos.

@@kayosensei but it does...

@@FranciscoJG It does not, the body when not already overloaded in fat (which is usually the case with people eating the SAD diet) is very efficient at burning carbs, that's why children get a "sugar rush" it's the body not wanting to store carbs. Only around 2 % gets converted to fat. It's fat that makes you fat, not carbs. Don't believe me? Try it, just eat cooked potatoes (you can bake them for variety) and eat as many as you want, no restriction. No fat. You will lose weight for sure.

@@11235Aodh It's a mistake to generalize each macronutrient. Potatoes might be rich in carbs, but as a whole food, it's also rich in other nutrients and fiber. The main villain carbs are whitest ones: white rice, white floor, etc. which is basically just amid. That overflow of amid can't be metabolized at once, specially for sedentary people, and is stored as fat. Fats are richer in calories but also satisfy much more than carbs, and thats another reason why amid-rich diets (with no fiber) make people fat: they get hungry faster because of the insulin spike. Speaking of personal experiences, I've always been slightly underweight. In the last years I've added more healthy (saturated and mono-unsaturated) fats in my diet and I'm still underweight.

agronomically speaking it also makes sense as legumes are nitrogen fixing and when planted in rotation with grains they help maintain soil fertility.

Bless her heart she was on the way to figuring it out

It is more like ancient people either had to survive on that combination of food, added other food to the combination to make up for the missing nutrients, or died out/migrated to other area with more nutritious food.

@@OrdinaryEXP You're absolutely right, of course. My experience of human beings overall, is that we prefer variety in our food and are experimental gourmands. Naturally, if someone returned to the village with a brace of fowl, or line of fish, the people would rejoice with the new feast. I remember sitting with a very learned anthropologist who speculated that even in the Ice age, he could imagine the women sitting in a circle discussing new recipes for reindeer or mammoth. Still, it is painfully logical that if the locality did not supply essential nutrition, then that environment would not be inhabited. Thank you for your insight.

It's not about what's in food. It's about how well you absorb the nutrients. Legumes can block nutrient absorption and some folk just cant digest them properly.

@@cincin4515 While true that not every gut is happy encountering beans, there are many that have problems mainly because they don't regularly eat legumes. Your microbiome adjusts to your diet, and there has to be a modicum of consistency to keep the bean-thrivers in there. Eat some beans every week for upkeep. And while phytates and lectins block nutrient absorption, it shouldn't refrain anyone from eating properly prepared beans.

And eggplants [aubergines], no? Years ago I had a Turkish housemate who ate a lot of eggplant and said that Turks eat tons of it, and could prepare an eggplant recipe every day of the year with no repeats. Botanically, it's an oversized berry in the nightshade family (which also includes potatoes), but in terms of culture and cuisine it's used as a vegetable. He also hated couscous (which was for me at the time a rare, overpriced exotic treat packaged in tiny boxes in major grocery stores), because he grew up in boarding schools that served it constantly, so he became permanently sick of it. Now I know to buy plain couscous in much larger quantities at Indian and Pakistani grocery stores and bodegas, for much less per ounce, and season it myself.
