@@Sconzette Follow Dr. Sebi and his students. Eliminate rice, potatoes, cane sugar, bread and switch to rye or spelt bread, dates and natural sugar from fruits, and a list of other grains and vegetables that would have adequate carbs for the day, squash for example is a great rice replacement. Anything man made is starch anything nature made is good to eat. All these modified foods like corn had an original ancestor but the corn we get today is starch.

This deserves 1 billion views. We can all benefit from not eating sugar at all. I’ve been on OMAD for 26 months, 14 months with no sugar or added sugars this includes fruits, this upcoming thanksgiving will mark 365 days without a drop of alcohol, I avoid white rice, white bread, etc., reduced eating out by as much as 90%, will have wheat bread as long it has 0 grams of added sugar, steel cut oats and organic brown rice from time to time. I feel phenomenal, always in a positive mood, life drama doesn’t affect me at all and mind you I’m going through a divorce (lol). It’s been a magical 2 years to say the least. Life is so much more enjoyable. Glad to help out or provide support if needed. Oh and I don’t count carbs or calories. I just try to eat “real food” every day. I do cheat every once in a while. God bless.

What do you count as "real food'?

@one100billneoone4 Жыл бұрын

@@edwardliu111 Basically anything that isn’t heavily processed. The less ingredients the better. For example, potato chips are not real food. Eggs, vegetables, meat, nuts, steel cut oats, butter, fish, legumes, etc,. I do have corn tortillas but the ones I buy just have 3 ingredients. Of course I do understand it’s almost impossible to avoid processed foods but remember the less ingredients the better. Even better if you can pronounce and know what the ingredients are. For example take a look at the ingredient list of say Russian rye bread vs Sara Lee brand or organic peanut butter vs Jiffy brand. Hope this helps.

Fascinating discussion. I'm a beta tester for the Levels CGM app. My experience is that it supports the theory that processed food are harmful. It's amazing to watch the dramatic difference between eating real and processed food in glucose levels. I wasn't obese or diabetic prior to starting Levels, but it's been extremely insightful in letting me make small changes that make big differences. While Levels is still in beta, I think it will be a huge benefit for anyone struggling with metabolic issues when it becomes available for everyone.

I live in India and Dr Robert Lustig thoughts are very much applicable for us since we are CHO lovers even though we donot get to eat ultra processed foods since Indians still largely cook their food at home. But can we get answers regarding why despite we are not eating ultra processed foods since we do not get them any way, India is the diabetes capital of the world, is it because of NAFLD? What should we do? Where is the food for us if we do not take rice or wheat or jowar or Ragi or small millets?

I've been following Dr. Lustig for several years, read his books and I try to live according to his suggestions. But what he says in this video about "Food Rules" by Michael Pollan shows that he obviously hasn't read the book or anything by Pollan. Michael Pollan calls only real food "food". Processed food he calls "food-like substances". All his food books and speeches circle around eating real and unprocessed food. That's basically his main point. And many of the rules in the book mentioned in the video express exactly that "eat real food!".

Was thinking the exact same thing. The other point is he talks in length about fiber and then says he has no problem with Keto. An oxymoron, there is only fiber in plant foods, no fiber of any kind in animal products. Keto is 90% animal products IE Atkins diet etc.

@JillCao 2 жыл бұрын

@@mikemasail823 Keto doesn’t equal low fiber. Dr. Berg, expert on keto, recommends 7 to 10 cups of primarily leafy veggies per day when you are on keto. I’ve been following that while maintaining a high fat intake for a few months. The reason why you can eat a lot of veggies and fiber and still on keto lies in the kinds of vegetables you consume. They just have to be low carb. I hope this clarifies that keto doesn’t automatically mean low or no fiber.

If according to the Dr 50% of American have Insulin resistance his advice of no sugar, hi fiber and unprocessed food is already too late. If you eat fruits (fructose and sugar) starch like potatoes and cereals like wheat you are going to eat an other form of processed food. Cereals have been modified to contain more gluten and carbs hence sugar, corn varieties are now hi fructose (sugar) potatoes have more starch (sugar), fruits have more fructose, so at the end of the day you end up with huge amounts of sugar in your diet. Now if you go hi fat and protein from meat you can avoid this issue but still have to deal with growth hormones, antibiotics omega 6 pesticides residues, toxic milk with lactose (more sugar) (same with the vegetables mentioned earlier) so you have not solved the problem and now you are lacking fiber. You are screwed either way. You cannot go eat out (process food) and you cannot eat anything out of the supermarket (processed food or dead veggies drenched in pesticides and lacking minerals . Hopeless? Not really. Try very low carbs from vegetables, such as broccolis and cabbage, eggs cheese, oily fish wild caught, sardines and tuna, all organic is a must. add nuts and berries, cook with saturated fats only to avoid omega 6, eat once a day and you will be healthy. Dr. Lustig advice is 50 years too late. Too expensive? try going to the doctor and fill out a prescription for meds that will kill you. Oh I forgot you dont have insurance. Lucky you. Welcome to the new world order.

One way to look at it is that Veganism and Veterianism have a specific definition, but what is done in practice may be different. IMO experience, vegetarians/vegans typically choose this path because they don’t eat meat, not because they eat vegetables. This mindset means they rely on grain-based carbs as a mainstay of their diet. The more refined those grain-based carbs are the more if raises insulin. So, I think what he is saying that a vegan diet is fine as long as it relies heavily on plant-based foods (carbs and protein), not grains. Make sense?
