🍔✍️🥩 "Unnatural Vegan" made a response video critical of this video, though I found her criticisms to be quite weak. Here is my full response: lifeforbusypeople.com/2021/04/29/do-your-own-research-re-a-vegans-take-on-my-video/

The Food PYRAMID. That's Egyptian alright.

I'm physically pained when people say "Follow the science!" when their main source of "science" is the news.

What we've learned about the phrase "has no cure" is that it really means "has no drug we can sell."

18 years ago, I was working at a a mexican restaurant. The general manager was a stone-cold 50 year old fox. She was eating her dinner one night when I asked her why it was just meat and vegetables. She said she had type-2 diabetes. I, not knowing anything, said "Well why not just take insulin?" She said she used to take insulin but it just made her sick and the insulin was only to allow her to eat carbs and sugar. So she reasoned if she didn't eat carbs or sugar, she just didn't need insulin. She said she hadn't taken insulin for years and she looked AMAZING! Every time I follow her advice, I lose weight easily and feel immediately better.

The irony of the pyramid people eating our pyramid diet.

Born in 76, was skinny until I was 10. I was fed all the crap you shouldn't be eating. Only my one grandmother still cooked with real fat and I can remember the fad being low fat even as a kid. Now, as an adult fighting off pre-diabetes I am so angry that this was done to us.

A Egyptian mummy ate a Mcdonald's everyday for a year, here's what happened to his intestines.

i'm shocked my own biology teacher villainized fat and recommended sugar a few times in class to the other student saying that low sugar is problematic as if in todays world we aren't eating too much sugar

So what we should be doing is calling people sugared instead of fat.

This is basically a summary of all of his most viewed videos

I don t know where doctors encourage a high carb diet.. Here in Portugal we always try to advice our patients to reduce bread, rice, potatoes and pasta intake!!

I ate keto for about 6months, and yes, I lost weight, I was pretty strict to this diet, limited carbs as much as possible, made sure I got enought fats and medium proteins. After first few months I felt amazing, but after that, specially towards the end of 6months I felt really tired all the time, didn't want to do anything, energy was low, then I swiched back to eating carbs again, and lost more weight and feeling better than I ever were before, so I guess just watch what you eat and how much you eat, and you will be fine, and just because someone says it's the best diet, doesn't mean it's best for you

I've seen a lot of people walking like an Egyptian at McDonalds.

It's completely shocking to me that they are still teaching this to doctors. How is it possible, if it is already known to be a sham? Shocking stuff. Fantastic video, please don't stop making videos, you're really one of the best out there.

my great aunt was born in 1871 and went to temple university and became one of the first female physicians. her name was harriet knox (aunt hattie). she suffered from type 1 diabetes from about 1893. she kept alive with diet only and became one of the first people on earth to receive insulin in 1922. she never ate a carbohyrate from 1893 to 1923 and lived until her death in 1960. i remembered her as a courageous role model in a floor-length black dress and a lace collar. i hope to see her soon.

The fact that one guy single handedly influenced many lives and eating habbits is astonishing.

I think i will stop watching content about diets for the integrity of my mental health

Me: I should do a work out ... or study Japanese ... or tidy the house ... The internet: no no! You need to know what made ancient Egyptians fat.

Never confuse what foods healthy people can eat with what foods can make you healthy. Excellent video, my friend.

I’ve been keto for 3 years now and it has been life-changing. I was eating every hour, otherwise I’d crash. I could have never imagined intermittent fasting like I’m doing today! I’ve gained so much freedom not panicking about my next snack/meal, and the weight loss was a nice bonus. If you want to try keto, stick with it for at least a month. Get past the initial flu symptoms, and eventually your body won’t crave carbs anymore. That’s how you know it’s working. The first week is the worst. You’ve got this!!

Pharaohs were also sedentary kings. That probably didn't help with their health. I'm sure those gluttons never fasted more than 8 hours.

Seeing what is happening in USA and comparing that phenomenon with this, i am firmly believe that the decision was made based on food industry lobbying instead of science based. Since USA is the most powerful country, other nations were just following the trend, and here we are now with population of diabetes and other types of metabolic syndrome diseases.

At this point I don't even know what is healthy to eat anymore..

Been on a keto diet for 3 months. Eating OMAD also. My sister recently made a gastric sleeve surgery at the same time. Paid somewhere around $10k and we both have had trouble with weight gain all our lives. To sum up, she now have a very specific amount of food she can ingest meanwhile I eat "what i want" once per day. I started 3 months ago, have, to this day lost >25kg (55lb) from weighing 112kg (248lb) now down to 85kg and feeling better than ever. On the other hand she still struggle with eating crap meals with a lot of carbs and have only lost around 10-12kg (22-27lb). I have tried some diets before but thats just limiting the amount of food, never ever have I seen this much life transformation for my own personal health, both fysical and psyical. This is something that I will do for the rest of my life. You! Yes you the guy behind What I've Learned, I have you to thank for this. Some credits to Dr Eric Berg also but It all started with your video. Thanks.

And most overlooked aspects of health and longevity: ​slow living, no pollution, doing outside physical activities, high social interaction, not getting angry thus raising blood pressure and most of all nutrition moderation meaning eating less and more diverse.

Gold: "The situation we are in with such atrocious dietary guidelines would have never had occurred if doctors had a better understanding of biochemistry"

The way things appear in nature may be the intended way we are supposed to eat. Grains of any kind are relatively hard to find, and once you find them, they must be processed to get the hull off. It was farming that brought grains into being a primary food source. Vegetables in the wild are plentiful, from edible leaves on trees, wild greens and edible roots and tubers, plus herbs. Fruits are also plentiful in the wild, from crab apples to berries to paw paws to stone fruits. Nuts are plentiful also in certain seasons. So out of all of this, it seems grains are the least that the wild has to offer. Maybe we should take a hint from that. It is likely also that wild horses and pigs did not eat corn and oats all day like they do now, because that is not how it grows in nature. They probably ate a variety of what they could find, with grasses, fruits and vegetables most likely the majority of their diets. In the winter, wild animals will dig for roots or eat the bark off of trees. Or they will eat other living things if they can catch them.

Me, who just had rice and noodle for lunch: *nervous sweats*

These videos give me anxiety about eating anything. But I'm sure a new video will come out debunking that too

A teacher of mine who was also the school coach and a triathlon athlete in his free time used to say that there are essential aminoacids and essential fatty acids but there are no essential carbohydrates Dude was 39 and looked like a college freshman

Been Keto + intermittent fasting for ONLY 5 MONTS now. I'VE LOST 70 POUNDS (32KG) ..... in 5 months. BONUS POINT : I have cured 98% of my psoriasis. (that I was stuck with for 10 years) My heathy carbohydrates food life style was literally KILLING me a little bit at a time. THX FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION ♥♥♥ More people need to know.

Dr Mason is an excellent doctor! He should do a world tour to educate the world on this topic! Thanks for having this video and having Dr Mason as your source 🙏🏽

Just when you think you know someone, then bread turns around and stabs you in the gut with an insulin needle.

My immediate thought after this was how much time with our loved ones we were robbed of because they followed this dietary advice that they were told by the establishment they trusted. I’m pissed.

I thought this would be a video about ancient egyptians, not a video pushing keto T_T

List the “Studies” because from my experience, fiber always helps to relieve my constipation episodes...

Yuldkin who correctly showed that the real enemy was sugar was destroyed for telling the truth.

I can hear Greg Doucette yelling CALORIE SURPLUS

What I learned from my professor is that fiber is not that important for our body but it's necessary for our gut bacteria which basically keep us health.

The pyramid hit me hard, it's actually stuff they still have in school books from elementary school to highschool where I live.

The relationship the government has with diet is the same relationship I have with my phone on 1% an hour after I should've fallen asleep: We try to get as much value from it as possible, even if it's detrimental to our health.

Talking about diet is like talking about the nature of reality

I have experience this. I suffered from gas and constipation for the longest time and finally I stopped eating carbs and started eating more veggies especially avocado. It has made a big difference. I also started taking magnesium which help with the bloating/gas.

I grew up in the US and we had vegetables and fruits growing in our yards. I live abroad now and when I see videos of the US it is often green grass yards without veggies or fruits...Fruits and veggies can often be grown with little work in a yard at least during warmer weather.

Thanks to this channel, I've been eating once a day and a fat based diet since 2018. I lost a lot of weight and feel better than ever, I also look helthier. Of course I have educated myself and understand what I'm doing, but this channel introduced me to this idea. It literally changed my life.

Damn...I got fooled by his Brilliant ad again. When he started saying that swiping my credit card is like making a promise to pay it back later to the credit card company, I started relating that to how eating carrots is like making a promise to your body that it will get the promised Vitamin A later on, but only once the body converts the beta carotene, should it be able to do so efficiently. BUT NO IT WAS AN AD LOL

I am an Indian vegetarian ketoer for the past 5 years and I completely agree, the health benefits offered by high fat low carb diets.

Dudes, if you eat a reasonable portion of rice at lunch or some bread it's ok. It's not going to make you obese or diabetic.

I always knew King Tut wasn't better than me!

Havent we gotten it yet? Eating alot processed carbs is unhealthy. How is this still a topic of debate?

Flexitarian personally, I'm a chef and I could imagine privating myself of any taste, texture or smell 😋 "It's the dose that makes the poison"

Could you please include german subtitles? I want to share your knowledge with my family, but unfortunately none of them speaks english. This was one of the best videos you have made. Thank you for your work!

Their Mummy probably made them finish their plate too much

In this video: Bread makes you fat.

This reminds me of the emails I get about a story about some random person suffering til they sell me something at the end.

Brilliant presentation. Very well done. My experience exactly. Went full carnivore at age 64 and now 2.5;years later, my health is fantastic. About 15 diseases disappeared.

Just found out this channel and can't have enough it! I mean the quality of content is so amazing. Really appreciate all the efforts that has been taken for every single of these videos to make it look like nothing less than a scientific documentary. Will keep supporting your channel ♥️

The best comprehensive video out there... keto, oxalates, cardio function and impact from fat. You guys did a great job with this, really.

I did almost no carbs - less that 20g TOTAL per day for months , I’m 31 and it caused me to have my first hemorrhoid. When I re-introduced vegetables back into my diet the hemorrhoid went away. Wouldn’t recommend removing all fruits Vegs , grains fine

I was a type 2 diabetic myself. A1C was 10.1 and I was put on both insulin and Metformin. After 1 month of eating nothing but meat, I was able to stop taking both the insulin as well as Metformin. After 3 months of eating nothing but meat, my A1C was down to 5.6. Yes, you CAN reverse T2 diabetes. I was also able to get off all the other meds I was on as well, and lost 50 lbs. I'm now 64 yrs old and in the best shape of my life. I'm fit, and putting on muscle. Iused to be in pain pretty must all the time, now I only get pain if I injure myself. Carnivore is the way to go!

I am currently in a low carb border line keto diet, after watching all your videos related to food at the beginning of the year, and getting inspired into reading more about keto, love your videos, after half a year I am feeling better than ever 👍🏽

PLEASE LINK THE STUDIES YOU AND YOUR HOSTS QUOTE!

Genesis 41:49 "And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured." Yes, the Egyptians ate bread.

The rich eat a lot in the past.

As a recommendation for your future videos: Do not use just one voice for the message that you're trying to convey. Have various experts in your videos, not just one guy in a studio, give more doctors a chance to present their knowledge in settings that look professional.

Can you please link all the papers you get your information from in the description.

The transition into ad is so smooth 😂

THIS IS THE GOLD VIDEO!!!! Thanks so much for your work to make this video!!!!

Here’s a concept: what if we ate **both** egg yolks and kale

99% of this video: talking about cholesterol research in modern day America. 1% stuff about ancient Egyptians.

Keep up the good work! Beautiful editing. You are basically doing the Food Lies film that Brian is taking forever to do.

Dr Paul Mason is a legend. Just found this channel, love it. Great work.

From 2012 - 2020 the era of people tell others what to eat and what is “healthy “

The amount of work you put on these videos is unreal. Thanks, man!

“You can only eat so much protein” Bodybuilders: watch me

I was with him until he said "If our body needs it, our body will make it." Yeah... tell that to: vitamin c and scurvy calcium and osteoporosis Iron and anemia Thiamin and beriberi ...etc.... etc....

could you do a video about the negatives of artificial sweeteners?

Why do humans has to be so complicated ffs

Great reporting. Very interesting historical context. I like how you built upon the historical context illustrating the causal relationship between the 1977 low fat / high carb recommendation report release to the sudden, rapid rise of obesity rates in America. Absolutely criminal stuff.

My life changed once I viewed bread and carbs period in the same context as cake, cookies, ice cream etc. I can still eat these things but clearly it has to be a once in blue/special occasion. That simple lifestyle change led to weight loss, improved mental focus, deeper spirituality, higher dopamine and oxytocin and IMO my skin is very youthful too. We were not designed to eat carbs every single day.

From what I've been researching, the all meat diet would use a different gut flora. Ones that live in the colon. Giving the upper intestinal gut flora a break/reset. Which might help with gut problems and autoimmune system problems as well. There is no long term research on the all meat diet, so who knows if it's the better diet. There is a risk I can see. The gut flora in the colon are swimmers. Which means if they are plentiful, then they might swim up the intestine and cause SIBO. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. My "theory" is the meat diet might be a gut reset option. I think fasting can do the same thing and provide the body with repair time without "that" risk.

Our early ancestors would have eaten anything they found. Also, carbohydrate foods would have been lower in sugar than modern fruits and vegetables.

It also comes down to our language too, trite little sayings like "you are what you eat" completely glosses over how our bodies actually identify and process food, which yes, no matter what episode of Master Chef you watch, is just energy that we briefly loan to keep us going for one more day.

Your videos are top notch. You do a great service to the world with this kind of information.

Am I the only one seeing a pretty solid correlation at 4:28? Like its not perfect, but drawing these arbitraty lines is like creating a strawman.

I usually love this channel’s videos but this doctor seemed extremely biased and the whole argument feels very one sided

Starting a nearly 30 minute video with mummy roasting. You have my full attention, sir.

Dr Paul Mason is awesome, and this was a very comprehensive dive into a complex topic ❤

Oh shyt! You started me on the path to understanding how positive fat can be! Thanks btw, ive lost 50 pound cuz of what you said in that vid you did!

I'd argue the lines you draw on the chart at 4:34 is very misleading, looks like a moderate linear trend, what was the R^2 value.

I really enjoyed the video! Thanks for the information!

Thanks for making this video. It will be helpful to alot of people.

There seems to be an agenda to get fiber out of the diet, like the egg at one time. Fiber is the medium which sugar uses to go through the body normally. if you eat any carb or sugar without fiber, it will turn to ethanol in the system, which is poison for the Liver. With fiber, it is estimated that your liver gets about %20 of the ethanol, from the food broken down and sent to the liver; however, if you do not have fiber ~%70-%90 of the ethanol is sent to the liver. This causes fatty liver disease and insulin resistance as the pancreas is warn out from the high glycemic response because there was no fiber to slow down the digestion of the sugar, those conditions cause inflammation in and people need more fiber if they are eating carbs or sugars to avoid this. so you can eat a keto diet and avoid fiber; however, if you are eating sugar, you should get fiber before or during when you eat sugar/carbs.

you can't make a point on a single man doing that.

Okay but have you ever eaten a whole box of fiber one without realizing it’s not regular granola bars?

when he talks about fiber he doesnt seem to understand that there is both soluble and insoluble fiber and how they should be balanced if you don't want problems arising from fiber, and just mildly boiling your greens wipes the oxalates off of them

Love this stuff. Food science is so interesting

I'm glad I finished eating before I started watching this video

I love your voice its so perfect for these types of videos.
