Some people say fasting is bad for you, I suggest looking into it. Dr. David Atila I think his name is, stopped fasting after recommending it for years. There are other examples.
@@FootballFan4850 Well I used to suffer from blowing ALL the time. Sometimes I could eat something and was ok and every other day the very same thing would make me sick. Most of the time I would start feeling awful around 4pm. It was like my body was my worst enemy. Going out Friday night or for weekend out was very stressful cuz I never knew when my guts were gonna act out. I started doing the 16/8 fasting, initially for vanity to b e honest. My first meal was at noon and I would only have black coffee (grain never insta) or tea. Once in a blue moon even do a whole day so that my only meal is dinner. I soon realized that all my issues were gone. Not only the pain, the gas and the over all blowing, but also some foods that normally was a NO for me I could now digest. Also notice that now I would consistently evacuate with no trouble. My life quality has improved a lot.
I very much agree with elimination diet. When I started to eat more fiber and espacially lentils every meal, first week I was bloated as hell. But after a week it was all gone and I could eat as much as I wanted and I actually felt better mentally and physically. What you eat alters your microbiome and the diversity will make you feel better.
ABSOLUTELY.. Same with Milk - you can't go without dairy forever, and them say you are allergic bcs your fist glass causes you trouble... so many ppl make wrong conclusions robbing themselves of nutrient dense healing foods
Fiber is very important for guy micro biome. However, you can’t just jump to high fiber diets overnight, you have to ease in. You also don’t need to be super high in fiber
I got a little teary eyed when you spoke about you having IBS as an adolescent. I suffered a lot from that too. When I turned 18 I went to my doctor and he simply told me, "eat more ruffage" and so I started eating more naturally and cured myself. Im so grateful for that turning point in my life. Im always evolving and love learning about nutrition. Ty for all these points! im 38 years old now and working on minimizing and eliminating alcohol intake and I feel great 💪🩷🙌
Alcohol in my opinion should be banned and destroyed all together. In a perfect ideal world, that would happen. It doesnt only damage our guts, but damages the brain, careers, kills people, breaks up families, friendships etc. Thank you Thomas for standing up to harms of alcohol so clearly❤
Alcoholism took my younger brothers life just 2 months ago. I’m very sad and lonely without him. He was my only family left. I knew he needed help, I BEGGED him to check into a inpatient facility and get sober, but he wouldn’t. He was only 45 years old when he died. 😢
i completely trashed my gut drinking as a teen and in my early 20s and it took years to heal, what worked for me was avoiding garbage fast food (especially deep fried food), just cooked at home and ate smaller meals, used cayenne pepper, later on in an effort to have visible abs i came up with a diet that consisted of mostly chicken, brown rice and varieties of frozen veg. i employed the 6 small meals a day with meat being the largest portion veg in second and the rice was more like seasoning so i was low carb but extremely consistent and i seasoned the tiny meals with olive oil, acv, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. that might sound gross but i really leaned out while not only maintaining strength but gaining to the strongest i've ever been, so there's something to be said for consistency and eating relatively the same thing, it's easier to modify portions with what already works... on a side note i have experimented with gelatin and in my experience gelatin can definitely help your stomach and i have recommended it to my gf who also seems to have gut issues, the literature suggests gelatin can heal leaky gut which most people probably have to some degree
I identified the food phobias in my own behavior and knew it wasn't right. have always been hyper vigilant with routines and I did keto for a long time. developed a legit fear of bread and all carbs. use to go hungry if there were only carbs around to eat now I eat when i'm hungry and make sure my protein is way higher than carb but not afraid to eat carbs. still a journey.
You should fear carbs when you never move around, never do any sports or go to gym. Glucose is good in sports for refueling glycogen and form skeletal muscle. But if you never do any sports? It become health problems such as diabetic, etc.
I seem to be fine having no fiber, a small amount of fiber, or a ton of fiber. I'm currently doing a small amount of fiber and not having any of the issues you've mentioned. This is why it's so important to experiment yourself and don't take other people's word as absolute fact. What's bad for Thomas doesn't mean it will be bad for you.
I mean there is also a need to get acclimated to any drastically new diet, especially for fiber. Lots of people just throw tons of fiber in their diet out of no where and it hurts their diet. You can’t just jump to that you’d have to acclimate slowly
I am so glad that someone else has realized that almonds are inflammatory/high oxalate content. They should be consumed in moderation or even not at all. I avoid spinach and other high oxalate foods as well and my inflammation issues have practically ceased to exist
Except that there was a study that Almonds are fantastic for reducing wrinkle depth in skin. Tough choice. I've started eating them but then dropped some of the other oxalates I can do without.
Phyto estrogens are non-mammalian. Your body doesn't literally convert or utilize non mammalian hormones into creation of mammalian hormones. A persons genetics and gut microbiome dictate how phyto hormones/nutrients are assimilated. Just like anti nutrients such as phytates, oxalates, so on; so forth. You can build up the bacteria to break down anti nutrients eliminating most if not all of the negative effects when combined with proper food preparation/cooking and increasing all the positive health benefits of the plants that prople seam to fear. Obviously there are people who will face adversity no matter how much they try to plentify their gut with the right bacteria, but im more than certain the number of people in that category is far lower than most would ever suspect. Ben bulsiwics, whom thomas had on his channel recently is an amazing wealth of knowledge in regards to research of this kind.
Your skin rejuvenation could easily be attributed to the high vitamin E content of almonds. Sunflower seeds are one of the few other foods that contain higher levels of all 8 forms of vitamin E than almonds. Keep your omega 3:6 ratio within a 1:2 ratio with some flax or chia and youll be good.
Something I've noticed is that a LOT of people in the West have no idea how to eat nuts. Here are some rules most people follow where I live: 1) Only consume soaked (preferably for 6-8 hrs) and sprouted nuts. 2) Always peel the outer skin off (if possible) before eating the nuts - especially for almonds. 3) Do not eat nuts by the bagful! You're only supposed to eat 5-10 pieces in the entire day (unless you make nut butter of course). 4) Roasted-salted nuts are very occasional snacks and not the same as the soaked-sprouted nuts eaten for nutritional benefits.
SAME. I eat a good sized breakfast & then don't eat till dinner. During that time I sip on water, have coffee, ice tea or warm tea in cooler months. No dessert anymore either. I eat the most in mornings
100%. I work in film production and shoot days I always end up grabbing things throughout the day and ultimately I end up with a major food hangover including brain fog. Have to follow up with OMAD to get my energy back.
i do my last meal at 8 pm then i fast untill 2-4pm the next day. it has seriously turned my gut around very fast. i also use prokinetics during this time to help some SIBO/SIFO related issue i have. fasting is so healing!@@violetfem1808
The timing of the video was fate! I was in the ER last night with a really bad GI bug, or colitis (they dont know what it is yet). I felt I took decent care of my gut, but now I'll pay extra attention. My first "meal" since the ER has been bone broth, it felt soothing!
@@_baller the ER people tried to say it was a virus and not what I ate. but I told them I really think it was from my poor diet whilst on vacation. I went to get a second opinion from a doc, the doc said try and avoid gluten. all of my symtoms were gone the next day. a week later I ate a meal with a lot of gluten and my symtoms came back for 2 days.
@@touchmoss yeah could have been a stomach bug, crazy it made you go to hospital tho, gluten intolerance is pretty rare, but if it works to avoid it then so be it, the best diet for gut health is one that has vegetables and fruits in it, but western diets have become less of those and more processed foods
I’ve had gut issues with walnuts! , I’ve not had any when I discovered that they are super healthy and started eating them. I think it developed gradually, though - the more frequently I was consuming them, the more bloating/ pains I had afterwards. It took me a few painful nights to realise what was causing the discomfort.
My theory on fiber is that rather than fiber having an isolated benefit that everyone needs, it's actually just helping problems that are caused by refined carbs; it explains why studies show a lack of fiber leads to so many health issues, while carnivore community can skip the fiber without having issues. Hope I can see more studies of fiber in carnivore and keto groups rather than just the standard american diet.
This is wrong in so many ways. Did you really just say carnivore people have no issues? Good God you are extremely brainwashed about that fad diet. Keto and Carnivore are extremely unhealthy long term. Stop ignoring the science in favor of RU-vidrs and steroid freaks opinions.
First it was Celiac, though I eventually (ten years!) figured that out and felt a lot better. But Xanthan Gum is what really stumped me. I had IBS for years until I figured that one out too. Still wasn't quite right though. Carnivore and Apple Cider Vinegar is what appears to have helped reset me 100%! I can't tell you how much I appreciate being normal again! :) I'm down to all my "safe" things and slowly adding back to see what I get along with and what I don't. It's along slow process, but totally worth it.
The nuts were kicking my ass, especially peanuts. Most companies spray the nuts with hot seed oil instead of roasting and i think that is part of the reason.
You are so unbiased and don't confirm to confirmation bias, i have utmost respect for you appreciate your work. In here you will get the most best unbiased nutritional information
@@Rubs009 Eating almond butter may mean that your body would be able to absorb more of the nutrients, compared to not chewing almonds thoroughly, which would lead to almond pieces just passing through your body, losing those nutrients. But that is not the issue mentioned here. What we're referring to here is a substance in the skin of the almond, which protects the almond from being eaten by pests (insects) -- it serves as an irritant, or a poison. For some people, this substance causes irritation in their bodies -- digestive system or otherwise. That is why I suggested soaking and removing the skin. If you made almond butter with skinless almonds, that would also solve this problem. 😊
My lifestyle habits • Only drink and cook with distilled water (removes 99.9% of contaminants from water leaving just H2O) (two Megahome 316 deluxe distillers (£180 each) - 4 litres each = 8 litres in 5 hours (every day/ every other day at 550 watts each = around £50 per month electric cost)) - municipal water comes from the river Thames and the filtration process cannot remove particles below a certain size so unless the water is distilled it can’t remove toxins such as heavy metals, medications (such as agricultural run-off; antibiotics, hormones, vaccines, pesticides such as glyphosate and atrazine (study showed male frogs exposed to atrazine grew ovaries and could bear offspring) etc.) and medications urinated by other people), microplastics, bacteria, viruses, salts, etc. (it is estimated there could be more than 50,000 different chemicals in municipal water). Then it is treated with chlorine, fluoride and synthetic vitamins. Plastic from bottled water can leach into the water and is also non-distilled except nestle smart water but is in plastic and has agents added which are mentioned next • Chlorine (chloride) (swimming pools, municipal water, bottled water), fluoride (toothpaste, municipal water, bottled water), salt (diet, ocean, municipal water, bottled water), synthetic calcium (calcium carbonate (chalk)) (synthetic vitamins, toothpaste, white flour, municipal water, bottled water) are calcifying agents which means they accumulate deposits in the pineal gland which is located in the center of the brain and is responsible for producing and secreting melatonin (energy levels and sleep) and I would also say mental lucidity and so I avoid these sources to avoid these agents Don’t put anything on skin that you wouldn’t consume because skin just absorbs it into system - • Don’t use any or only very minimal use of non-harsh/ non-toxic chemicals • Wash with distilled water (small bowl and flannels), wash hair by leaning forward into a big glass mixing bowl and scratching/ massaging head, I brush teeth with Oral-B pro 3 electric toothbrush without toothpaste (sometimes with food grade charcoal powder) and use Humble Co plant-based floss picks (occasionally swish with organic bicarbonate of soda), wash hands with distilled water and sometimes small amount of diluted food grade ethanol (100ml mixed with 37ml distilled water then put in 10ml glass vial bottle to carry) • If I get any municipal water on my skin I rub it off on my clothes • While you can absorb water through clothes by doing laundry and so I used to wash my clothes the old-fashioned way by rubbing them together in a bowl of distilled water but I tried washing them in the washing machine on high heat to kill bacteria then tumble-dried them then rinsed them in distilled water but after a while stopped rinsing them in distilled water and just wore them and I experienced no problem so I don’t rinse them anymore and just wear them, I also now use a 15l stock pot and boil my clothes with 200ml 5% white vinegar for 15 minutes to kill bacteria and spores. Spray shoes with Dettol disinfectant crisp linen • Only use pure cotton clothing (or pure wool or pure linen) and pure cotton bed-linen because plastic (polyester, nylon, polyamide etc.) off-gasses (chemicals released as gas) which enter the body (I use; M&S 10.5 tog duck feather double duvet with cotton outer, M&S firm duck feather pillows with cotton outer, in summer soak and sleep 2.5 tog pure cotton double duvet, amazon NIYS cotton sheet king £14 (I use mattress suspenders to hold it on), amazon linens world cotton duvet cover double with two pillow cases £20) (take linen if go to a hotel) (also boil bed linen in white vinegar and use Dettol disinfectant crisp linen to spray duvets, pillows and mattress) Diet • Try to eat only organic whole foods (free from pesticides and in case of animal products antibiotics, hormones and vaccines) • Don’t eat fish because of heavy metals, microplastics and fluoride content • Don’t eat added sugar or sugary foods • Don’t eat added salt or salty foods • Use distilled water and wipe cooking-ware, plates and bowls with a cotton tea towel before using and wipe cutlery with a tea towel to get soap film off before using which can damage gut lining and kill the microbiome • Use BPA free plastic for water bottles and food containers (sistema) and use PTFE/ teflon and PFOA free cooking-ware (procook professional ceramic) • I have noticed in the past some foods can have an associated effect (such as heavy metals or calcifying agent), because of this to try new foods I take a small bite and wait an hour and don’t eat at restaurants Reducing stress and blood pressure • Mindfulness moments of stopping for periods of deeper breathing and checking in with heart beat and blood flow • Slowing down thought - maybe try thinking or talking like Severus Snape from Harry Potter or agent Smith from the matrix: clear, calm and calculated Exercise • Jogging, light-weight and bodyweight exercises • Increases feel-good chemicals to improve mental health and helps with feeling tired for better sleep Fasting every so often • Eat last meal early then don’t eat again until same time next day • Fasting makes the body go into autophagy where cells that are dysfunctional undergo ‘pruning’ and processes that are unnecessary are put on hold because the body prioritizes survival • (Consult with doctor if necessary and increase calorie intake so to not lose weight) Blue light • Minimize/ eliminate blue light exposure which is strong enough to damage the eyes and suppress melatonin production which prevents sleep (bright tells circadian rhythm its sunrise/ daytime and time to produce energy) • Use a low lumen projector (ViewSonic M1 mini (120 lumens)) with settings on low brightness and orange tint • Put night light mode on laptop • Wear orange tinted blue light blocking glasses (UVEX skyper glasses with a pair of no cry glasses over the top) • Put night light mode on phone and low brightness Sleep • No blue light sources one hour before bed • Don’t sleep with phone by bed/ put it furthest away or on flight mode • Turn off electricals that don’t need to be on and don’t sleep with head on side of the bed next to a wall because electrics are interpreted by the brain the same way that light is and so it’s like trying to sleep with a light on • Make room as dark as possible • Sleep with a fan for background noise (EasyAcc mini) • Have classic FM on a sleep timer or a talk or lecture
Good stuff, love it. Healthline has an article on almonds. I didn't know there were bitter and sweet almonds. And that bitter almonds are poisonous. See the article "Are Almonds Poisonous?" It also talks about certain nuts that are more likely to have "toxic mold." I feel better when I put nuts in something I'm cooking rather than eating them straight or uncooked.
Bread did it for me. Gave me IBS. Can't do chili anymore or any grains. Going to do my best to go carnivore now and see how that goes. Also intermittent fasting
Gelatin/collegen (supplement or bone broth) is the best hidden gem takeaway on this topic. Gelatin is cheap and easy to add a bit into baking/sauces. Everything else was just common sense. add pre/Probiotics too but i dont want an ineffective probiotic or fork out the money for seed. So i add more yeast/nutriontional yeast/0fatsug greek yogurt/fermented foods (Sauerkraught/kimchi ftw)
Interesting way of putting it! I eat a no fiber carnivore diet and have for decades- yet I do #2 at least once a day. Fiber containing foods give me diarreah the longer I eat them. To be said, I only drink water, no coffee, tea, alcohol soft drinks or even carbonated water.
duuuuuuuuude! This was is so relatable. I was set up early on for really fcked up guts with twice a year antibiotics all growing up and chronic stress that further degraded the balance of everything. Im approaching 40 and it is my second full time job to just experiment with and manage my gut health since it lays at the core of every other issue I have. What you said here though is like a synopsis of my own life learning around food and digestion etc. I feel so validated right now. lol But I still haven't been able to adapt to hardly any fiber. Two meals a day spaced out with a third small meal or snack. All lowish fat, lower fiber, medium carb and high lean protein seems to be best, generally. Also low dairy and no gluten and ABSOLUTELY NO alcohol. That stuff will wreck me. Can't touch it.
My first keto journey I got crippling kidney stones halfway up a Welsh mountain and almost passed out from the pain. My wife swore it was the pretty huge amount of almonds I was consuming so I cut that out - no problems since so far...
this is great info. moderation is key. always learning and a far cry from keto, carnivore or any other extreme eating plan... as for alcohol, leave it for that once in a blue moon special occasion.
AIcohoI was fine when I was younger, I drank every weekend & then drank alot during a bad depression in late 90's. No real problems. But when you're older it's another story and esp. forwomen.
@violetfem1808 same here. Alcohol can wreck my stomach now with age unlike when I was younger . I usually need a whole day to recover not from a hangover but from serious stomach problems. And sometimes one drink can do that to me
@@Betterlaylow1 Oh those hang overs ! I was in Vegas, I think I was about 35. Had way too much fun with free drinks at the bIkjack tables & slots. The next day I was bedridden & barely was able to get myself ready to go out to eat dinner ! I can't handle it so I know my limitations now. I might have done better if I had brought my brewersYeast tabs.🤓 Even Pedialyte wasn't much help lol. I really feel bad for your situation tho if you risk the pain just with one drink. uggg. Hopefully it's some digestion thing you can clear up? Or find a drink that doesn't do that to you?
I try not to eat raw nuts anymore, I now soak them for 24 hours or so then dry them out in the oven on a low heat. They're crunchier and taste better as well.
Apparently, I've been a good student of yours Thomas over the past 1.5 years because I have already implemented every single thing you mentioned. I even impressed myself! I was ahead of you on the almond reduction, and always kept the fiber. (grateful). There is a gut bacteria that improves the mucosal layer (actually lives there). the strain is Akkermansia, Pendulum Products currently is the only company that makes it. They recently come out with a lower dose at a lower price to be more accessible. I've no connection except I've purchased the product. I'm currently working on the saturated fat. My new discovery is that Macadamia Nut oil in hot coffee is not bad in place of MCT oil. Thanks so much!!
@@socratese5 I’ve been taking for over a year, daily, physically feel great but the big difference is my mental clarity and enhanced empathy and gratitude. It’s insane to me, research supports these effects, but to actually see for yourself makes it worth the effort.
quitting alcohol was the best thing i’ve done. it helped with weight loss, helped my my stomach digest food better and mentally i feel better than ever
I can attest to needing fiber. I haven't been eating much of it and I drink too much coffee/tea so constip. started and it created a bad cycle. Just adding a little more fiber is helping but I'm not doing it too fast with too much!
Make sure you're getting enough water. I've done low or no fiber when I was eating mostly carnivore, and stayed regular. I was drinking energy drinks and 10 cups of coffee at work, but I also was drinking at least a gallon of water.
@@Odinson601I thought that would be bad cuz then your body just doesn’t use up all the water you drink. Also doesn’t that lower electrolytes or other things?
My gut health has always been poor and it's not until my later years that I am trying to do something about it. IMF has been a life changer. There are so many foods I have sensitivities to that I'm always at some level of inflammation. To periodically remove all food out of the equation to give my body a break has been wonderful. I still avoid the foods I have sensitivities to but I can now eat other foods in moderation that previously would have set me off (like Carrots - if you have hay fever your body sometimes sees this as grass and it gets triggered) just because all my other sensitivities are high. As for almonds - yeah I can't do many of those either - previously I was fine with them, as I got older, not so much: very limited raw, can't do almond milks. I also cut out alcohol 100%.
Same here. The best I've ever felt in decades was going 48+ hours no food at all. I go 24 hours daily without food. Just doesn't work for me anymore. I've gotten much worse. Bedridden.

I have read that the gut biome is very adaptable to your diet as long as your not eating gut destroyers like processed foods, medications esp antibiotics and alcohol and such....
Alcohol is a class 1 carcinogen not regulated by fda as if that means anything regged by treasury but they dont have to reveal ingreds Full of garbage gmo and fillers The old 2 buck chuck from jrader toes is nothing but fermented crap bottom of the barrel wine
Agree , when i was eating lots of carbs + decent amount of fiber probably around 25-35, I never had any problems with going to the bathroom. Once upon a time i tried low carb keto diet with 20 carbs but i was probably eating like 40 fiber or more a day (because of insane amount of veggies i was told to eat) i was heavily constipated and my life turned into hell, then i tried carnivore which means 0 fiber and this ruined my entire life, everything was even worse than with very high fiber. My conclusion after all this experience is eat what your body tells you to and be smart about it, try out things very slowly and carefully, my last 8 months was extreme hell and now im tryng to heal my gut to get back on my high carb unprocessed diet where i felt amazing. All this happened to me was because ive heard from someone that if i change my HC diet to keto right away its going to change my life in a good way forever and here im struggling everyday. Stay safe and stay smart, Remember!!
I saw some program about shopping in U.S grocery, for me European is insane because i don`t know that sausages - i check it "Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Pork Smoked Sausage" have more than 30 ingredients!! Most of them you can`t find on you kitchen desk but only in laboratory. Insane stuff.
I haven't been a heavy drinker since the 80's, but when I decided to beat diabetes, I stopped drinking altogether, and aside from an occasional red wine (which I still don't drink) I don't miss it. It's hard for me to eat too much saturated fat because I avoid too much heme iron, which seems to come with it (red meat.) I feel better when I'm eating a lot of wild salmon, and getting an avocado a day. I also seem to do better when I eat fewer nuts, but for me, I think it's somewhat empty calories (I.E., not meat, by which I swear.) PS: N=1 applies to the one. I have absolutely no issues with low fiber.
Apparently Almonds, like the seeds contained in many pitted fruits, contain Amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside, which as the name suggests, breaks down to form cyanide(!) Too much of it can clearly overwhelm our ability to neutralize it via liver etc. While we might have a tolerance for small amounts of 'antinutrient', some people are inherently more sensitive and reactive to such things vs. others who have become desensitized/numb with respect to what might in fact still be harmful to them. That's why elimination diets can be useful, to restore that sensitivity - assuming it's not linked to a decrease in the species of gut microbiome required to digest it? One thing I learned from Gundry is to always look up 'Antinutrients' with respect to foods - e.g. shocked to find that 'Dry sorghum has very low levels of cyanide but as sorghum soaks its cyanide content increases immensely'. It's also why eating too much of one food can trigger intolerance to that food - something my old naturopath instructed.
Eliminate almonds?! But I already eliminated wheat flour to make my cakes, muffins, brownies, pancakes.. to my daughter’s lunch box. I agree with you it’s a lot almonds and I don’t like it neither! So now I’m replacing the half amount of almonds flour in the recipe for gluten-free flour . Any another suggestions? Thanks for the video
Here's the list of the 8 things. Much of it is anecdotal, he admits: 1. Grazing. Have now have breaks between meals (and often some degree of IF) 2. Medium fiber intake. He contest that you should either: a. Go zero fibers (carnivore) b. or Much fiber (lots of veggies and fruit) = his preference 3. Stopped ignoring my mucosal layer: Be hydrated + Bone broth + Collagen powder 4. Stopped drinking alcohol 5. Stopped looking at the gut isolated. Instead look at the body as a whole. 6. Stopped doing elimination-diet (eg. AIP = Autoimmune Paleo) a. It limits the bodys ability to handle food-variation b. And it created fear of selected foods (don't wanna live in fear) c. My addition: Maybe try elimination-diet if you have certain health-issues. If you establish a food allergy, or a food intolerance, you can try introduce it in small amounts (micro-reintroduction) - rebuilding some level of tolerance. (Regarding this, try search: "Scientist reacts to Mikhaila .... ") 7. Consumed too much saturated fat (gall-bladder issue running in his family) 8. Stopped eating loads of almonds (he used to eat them all the time)
Love to see some studies on dietary fibre compared with no fibre/high fat eating. The Carnivore docs tend to agree that we don’t need fibre. On the other hand I understand we are responsible for our own well-being and make decisions for our betterment. Great presentation. 👏
This was so helpful. Funny enough, through trial and error I have learned to find the foods that make a happy gut. 80% of your list was also my experience, so I was nodding along the whole time lol. Thanks for sharing!❤
Although I respect the fact that you get new information and change what you’re doing, it’s hard to reconcile with the fact that you pushed keto for years and years and a lot of people followed. They may be even putting up with gut problems because they think keto has to be the way to go because it got them some weight loss. But I guess we all have to just deal with the information we have at the moment.
It’s a natural yet unfortunate symptom of giving advice, demanded especially regularly by being an influencer. It’s why we shouldn’t believe 100% what we hear from others. Their experience can be completely different than ours, so we should just take note of new info we get and not take it as absolute certainty.
Gluten, Sugar, processed foods, dairy, fast food. All of these l was up our gut. I also have motility issues. Consitpaton.I always feel full never emptied. So I know
Absolutely love Kettle and Fire’s beef bone broth and was so excited to hear about your partnership with them but it’s sold out!! Thomas - please tell us where you’re getting yours?! I crave that stuff like no other lol
yeah, On the alcohol one, I have cut down a lot, which helped me lose weight, but really now considering quitting completely. Interesting thoughts on the elimination thing here also
Pull the trigger and get rid of it man. I’m 23 and literally quit drinking when I was still 21. It’s hard because it’s such a social thing to do, but it’s so worth it
WIth almond and hazel nuts i tend to react to the thin brown skin around them, in nut mixes without the skin the nuts do not really trigger an bad reaction
Your content is unmatched Sir! What brand of cottage cheese and what fat percentage Sir? Is that a good food to rebuild the gut? I find that cardio really helps me with my gut issues.
Hello, so i just been diagnosed with mild diverticulosis. And honestly can not get a straight forward answer to what may cause these flare ups. But alot that you covered in this video sounds similar to exactly what my health care provider said. MORE fiber, MORE water. But researching online, some say stay away from red meat, some say only meats and no fiber. Some say fast and do OMAD. Im new to this, and the pain is unbearable at times. Just reaching out to the community to see if anyone has or had similar experience.
@TheBroLounge started off as lower back pain for several months. Then it was like a pulled muscle on my left side. Then it felt like I had a Ballon in my pelvic area. Thought maybe it was an enlarged prostate. The pain was everyday. Most days it was a 4/10 on pain chart. Some days after working it would be 8/10. Had MRI done that diagnosed me with mild diverticulosis. Weird because 2 months prior I had a colonoscopy and that came back good. I been drinking a ton of water and taking fiber supplement and seems to take the pain down to about 1/10. Don't know if I'm hypersensitive to the area or still in light pain.
I am curious about your family history of gallbladder problems. Gallstones or low functioning? I'm struggling with the keto diet (which I'm using to stay in cancer remission) due to my gallbladder functioning poorly.
When I was eating 3-6 meals per day, I was fully constipated and have a lot of gut problem, after I started IF, all those problems disappeared, just like many others however, I can't eat too much fiber, though, I'm too sensitive to fiber and makes me bloating and giving me too much gas, so I just take some phyllium but not big doses and now everyday at morning everything goes out perfectly. Best
I am the same way. I have an very active lifestyle where I do track and field plus I walk 15k steps and lift weights so I do #2 at least 4 times a day. Husk makes me do two instead of 4 by adding volume
I eat a seasonal diet, have no problems eating something i havent eaten for 6 months. After a while it gets harder to digest and i am happy that the season has ended for that type of food
Yes, high fiber is amazing. It's one of the main benefits of whole plant food based diet (I'm not dogmatic though and will eat some animal products... but it's minimal)
Almonds(skin) are high in Lectin, Lectin is not good for human consumption. Almonds, cashews, pine nuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds are all high in lectins. Coconut, chestnut, macadamia , pecans, pistachios, walnuts, flax, hemp, pumpkin and chia are low in lectins. Better options for protein/fat.
Great info thanks, but I wouldn't use that "fry lite" spray stuff, it's rapeseed oil and seed oils are highly inflammatory, insulin resistance causing and carcinogenic. You could spray with olive oil instead. See dr Cate Shanahan and dr. Chris Knobbes. Regards
Re almonds, I eat lowish carb, & few oxalates & phytates, but have found that too many almonds drive inflammation, fir me, especially with the skins on, or coarse almond meal, as opposed to blanched almongs or blanched almond flour. I can get away with a handful of raw almonds every other day, at most.
For those in need of fiber, I HIGHLY recommend keto tortillas. Check the bread section of your grocer and they likely have them, I'm seeing them in more places. They taste almost indistinguishable from a regular tortilla, usually have 4-5g net carbs, and have a ton of fiber. I've bought ones with 22 grams in just one tortilla. My only minor complaint with them is they get pretty stiff if you heat them up and if you warm them a little too much they will dry and crack when you roll them into a burrito or taco or whatever.
I like la banderita because they are big and are made with olive oil rather than vegetable oils. They only have 11g of fiber per but I know for a fact there are ones that have 20+, I just can't remember the brand. @@user-ww7ww2ze1w
ALMONDS~ Maybe your issue is with the relatively abhorrent Omega 6 to 3 ratios? It's my understanding that the 6's hog the cell receptors that the 3's need. FYI~ Peanuts are 1700 to 1~!!! 🤮 The only nuts with a healthy balance are~ Walnuts, Pecans, and Macadamias....
Try blanching your almonds to remove the skin. Put them in boiling water for 60 seconds, then after you take them out and place them on a towel, pat them dry. Then just kind of squeeze them to pop them out of the skin. That may help with your bloating. The skin can cause problems for some people.
I was about to say the same thing! We have moved to blanched almonds as almond skin if full of gut shredding lectins. Dr Gundry suggests blanches almonds are fine.
Realistically we dont need to do any of this shit, just work hard and eat hearty meals. 🤷🏻♀️ my grandparents did that and all lived into their late 90s
