I had a guy at a church social go on a really long lecture about how sugar will destroy your body (because we were serving cheesecake) and he made the analogy of how "if you tried to run your car on sugar, it would ruin the engine" and it took every ounce of my restraint and good manners to not say "if you ran your body on gasoline you'd be dead. What's your point?" 🙄
@@Anastasia11101 Exactly, that's why I don't add any as it's in everything. The body is not made to handle 3000+mg's of sodium. I know this because I used to put salt on a lot of foods and used a solid 3-4 packets on my take-out rice prior to developing HBP and I didn't even eat more than anyone I know personally. Sure, genetics play a roll (my great-grandfather, great-grandmother and grandfather each died of heart attacks by the age of 60 and didn't smoke/drink much, if at all. Also, I cut soda pop and adding sugar to foods out of my diet and lost about 20 pounds over 3 months with no change in routine just by cutting the sugar.
“Im a vegan to avoid cancer and I’m just going to keep talking about it until I’m a cancer to everyone else” 😂😂Literally everyone at the beginning of the year…I’m everyone 🥲
I don't understand how vegans like my brother can do it honestly. I have to have scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, burger and fries for lunch and steak and potatoes for supper that my wife makes for me (unless the weather is nice then I'll grill it) and there really is nothing better than meat on the planet. I could live without cheese easily as it wrecks my stomach but meat is protein man. Sure, I'm 6ft tall and almost 400 pounds but I'd rather be happy and enjoy life than worry about stuff because in the end we only get one life. The thing that pisses me the most off about vegans is that they are full of themselves and like to brag even if they don't mean too. My brother for instance is one of those vegans who lifts weights, runs marathons, and eats avocado's almost every meal with the perfect wife and kids, one of those types you know? About 4 months ago during Christmas time my wife and I hosted dinner and made an awesome stuffed turkey and I did the honey ham with a side of potatoes with bacon, cheese, and butter, and greens/fresh bread and desserts. My wife even prepared salmon for them that we smoked so they could eat and a side of potatoes with only the butter and cheese and they said they couldn't eat meat or cheese... Then they pulled out this tofu turkey stuff and their own potatoes, bread (the kind with seeds and crap), and desert and eat that in front of us! They had perfectly good fish and potatoes and the bread didn't have meat in it either because it's bread obviously. Sorry I just hate vegans they are disrespectful.
@@Travybear1989 So you’re saying that, while knowing that your brother and his family is vegan, you hosted a dinner FOR THEM and purpusefully prepared food you knew they would not eat? Real respectful. I really hope this whole spiel you went on was a joke bc otherwise… I really pity your brother. I honestly wouldn’t come back.
@@Sofia-js4xp He just said that they are vegans so I assumed vegetarians since a lady I work with is a vegetarian or whatever and eats fish. I don't personally know her but yeah I guess I should have asked or looked it up more. Yeah, the way you put it I kind of feel bad now... I think I'll give him and his family a call and ask for his input on what they can eat next holidays because deep down I felt kind of bad seeing them have to eat their backup food. I'll admit I am not very knowledgeable about veganism and you have a point. I should have seen things from his family's perspective instead of my own.
I nearly died of starvation visiting my brother for a week because his whole family was on some diet that didn't allow meat, cheese, fat, sugar, gluten, carbs, processed foods, or real food. The only thing I could identify was fruit, but everything else was being fermented in a jar, or was a seed, or ground paste and the water had to be specially delivered because god forbid you drink tap water. It irritated me because for my nephews birthday, we couldn't just order a pizza and have some junk food...no, it had to be ordered from some place that charged like $40 for a medium pizza with some cauliflower crust and organic ingredients. Ahhhh!
It's really not true that healthy food tastes bland. Spices and herbs flavor things in healthy ways. And they're cheap. It's also more fun when you find fun things that excite you to make. While you're on youtube, start to play around. Caitlin Shoemaker and Tabitha brown are worth checking out
I'd join the alcohol fast though if he paid for the booze, might have to eat a kiwi on the side though, don't want scurvy. Oh, well.. I guess I could just make screwdrivers with orange juice on vodka right?
No, sugar is the enemy. Go to any walmart (or 2nd class beach such as Vero Beach in Florida) and you'll see beached whales drinking mountain dew everywhere. Hell, after I cut soda pop and reduced my sugar intake by 75% at the minimum I shed about 20 pounds over half a year with no change in activity level. I even cut salt back by a similar amount and noticed my blood pressure go down drastically and started feeling less bloated. It's crazy how two of the most common food additives fucks up the human body so much after excessive saturation. I mean a single can of mountain dew has 77 grams of sugar which is about three times what the human body really needs! That's over sixty pounds of sugar per year basically and sugar is high in calories. I used to eat whatever the hell I wanted until the age of 30 where my bad dietary choices caught up to me. Since then I quit fast food as well and go for raw, whole food options whenever possible. Try eating something overly salty or sugary after going without it for a month, the food is almost inedible.
Eating the opposite of our ancestors really. They didn’t exactly have a supermarket to buy beef at. They hunted animals when they could and ate plants most of the time.
Goodness gracious, carnivore diet? People create weird ways to loose weight for the fun of it im convinced. Asia has it best, just follow their diet which is ideal. Balanced protein fat and carbs, lots of fermented foods, tea, low sugar, and lots of veggies. US Americans follow all these dumb diets and still obese.
@@DeathnoteBBlol not even close! You think fruits and veggies were just growing wildly over the their country? And if so, why the need to create the agriculture business to make them available year round?
@@kristinmoore4624 **TL;DR** Meat _(in the sense of “edible tissue from tetrapods”)_ really wasn’t a staple food for a very long time in early human history. It was more so a supplementary food than anything else. Early mankind primarily relied on: all kinds of edible vegetation, honey, fish & immature eggs. Meat was cherished but consuming meat in large quantities or consuming meat from a large game animal was nearly luxury-status because obtaining it was often more trouble than it was worth. **FULL COMMENT:** Fruits, veggies, roots, tree nuts, small-to-medium sized fish, bird eggs & honey could all be obtained safely & relatively simply which made them better staple food choices than meat. VEGETATION: We DID mainly subsist on *A LOT of vegetation.* Some fruits/veg were significantly better than others because not all of them were highly nutritious. _(The ones we have today have been selectively bred to bigger, more flavorful & have more nutrients than the ones that were accessible to most humans during the Paleolithic era)_ Before farming, many *fruits/veggies/roots/treenuts* would only grow seasonally but it didn’t mean early mankind didn’t have access to any vegetation at certain times. Gatherers would just have to pick from whatever they could get at that time of the year where they were located. They obviously couldn’t be picky like us and get their favorites flown in from an area of the world where they _are_ in season. There actually _wasn’t_ many inhabited locations that failed to provide some kinds of edible vegetation year round. Even during cold spells of the ice age early humans _(homosapiens)_ were great at exploiting the environment to acquire plant-based foods. The opposite can be said for Neanderthals (homoneanderthalensis) they only ate a sizable quantity of plant-based foods during periods when the whether was more lush. They were not as good as we were at obtaining plant-based foods during cold spells so they mainly just ate meat during these times. HONEY: Archaeologists have found *wild honey* was likely one of our earliest staple foods _(Humans instinctively liked the sweetness, benefited from the minerals/vitamins/antioxidants & got quick energy from the fast digesting carbs/glucose.)_ Paleo drawings show humans started fires near cave openings that were home to bee hives; they’d go in, take the honey and emerge unharmed. The smoke that filled the cave would make the bee swarm leave or make them very docile/disoriented if they stayed. Humans would eat the honey as-is or utilize it other ways. One other way it was used was for fruit-preservation since untreated fruits can go bad in like a week. Though cavemen did not understand the antimicrobial properties of honey, they somehow learned in kept things from rotting; they coated fruits like berries with honey & allowed it to harden; thus preserving them. They’d often stick a piece of wood in the semi-solid honey and consume by licking it _(So cavemen invented lollipops)_ EGGS We obviously didn’t have any consistent access to dairy or viable plant protein sources like legumes, cereal grains and pseudocereals until after the Neolithic revolution started; so *young bird eggs* have always been a vital protein/nutrition source _(even prior to evolving into homosapiens we relied on eggs)._ Eggs were simple to forage from nests & there was very low risk of having to square up to a ferocious beast in the process. Initially our ancestors ate them raw but later learned how to cook them, thus extracting more nutrients from them. FISH Many researchers think our earliest homosapien ancestors lived near African lakeshores and they had a diet mainly comprised of gathered vegetation & *a large majority of their animal protein from fish.* It makes sense; if your only protection is a club, spear, sling and few sharp stones: would you rather catch a few Perch/Catfish or take your chances with something that weighs more than you, runs faster than you and naturally has strong fangs/claws/tusks/antlers/hooves/muscles built into its body? OTHER •Bugs: If tree nuts, fish & eggs were inaccessible or in short supply prehistoric humans would resort to *entomophagy* _(eating edible insects, arachnids & myriapods)_ to get enough protein. Not a hearty meal but turning over the right rock would offer dozens of big squirming bugs; it would definitely satiate someone starving for protein & B12. This was lower risk than hunting because most bugs aren’t venomous/poisonous & the ones that are usually have bright colors or strange markings that would instinctually make early-mankind hesitant to eat them. •Meat: It was cherished for its fat, protein, caloric-density, nutrients & minerals- but prehistoric mankind knew that unless it was *necessary,* they shouldn’t be seek out wild animals _(especially ones that are big & strong, aggressive or fight back in herds/packs)_ to hunt because they’re just putting themselves at a high risk for getting hurt or killed. Hunting _(especially big game animals with a lot of meat)_ required tons of time & energy; weapons needed to be made, hunters needed to strengthen up, they needed to learn to stalk prey to learn when their guard would be most down, they needed to expend energy chasing&fighting the animal until it died _(often sustaining injuries in the process)_ and then haul it’s ass back to their tribe/settlement etc. And sometimes all that time&energy was completely WASTED because plenty of hunts would be unsuccessful. Sometimes small but fast+agile prey is able to escape unscathed even after exhausting all the hunters trying to catch it. Sometimes a big + strong animal being hunted would kill/critically injure/overpower someone and all the hunters need to retreat to survive. So during our early history we didn’t hunt or consume meat in the quantity/frequency that people imagine. Don’t get me wrong; even before becoming efficient hunters humans *did* eat meat. Humans have always been opportunistic omnivores and before we became more proficient at hunting we mainly ate meat by scavenging. If we came across the carcass left over from another predator’s successful hunt we had no qualms eating left over scraps of meat. If a small animal wasn’t too fast, wasn’t known to be deadly _(ex; poisonous),_ and didn’t appear to be too much a threat we’d definitely do our best to catch, kill and eat them too. But obviously left over meat scraps + a few small animals wouldn’t provide a hearty meal for every member of a group/tribe so meat was was often eaten in very small quantities by each person or reserved for the most important people in the group. Even after we became more proficient hunters in the UpperPaleolithic/Epipaleolithic periods _(by getting more intelligent and thus; getting better at tracking/ambushing, using flint & animal teeth to make deadlier weapons, teaming up with wolves etc)_ humans still knew that after having a meaty meal it was best to ration the rest and save it for later since they had no way of knowing the next time they’d run into an animal that’s hearty enough to provide a lot of meat but also slow/weak/injured/dumb enough to be worth the risk of attacking & battling it. This is why instead of feasting like kings for days after a successful hunt Paleolithic mankind learned to preserve meat; they used the sun to dry/dehydrate meat that was open to the elements to prevent it from rotting. Another method was a “canning” technique; they’d carry around the bones of animals like deer and break the top off and eat small portions of the marrow at a time then close up the top with furs/skins; if they ran out of other food sources they’d break the top of the bone again and repeat the process. This way instead of putting themselves at risk of death/injury/exhaustion by hunting more than necessary they could make the meat of one animal last weeks by eating only small quantities on an “as-needed” basis rather than making it a daily staple.
@@nicoleb3983 I figured but I wasn't sure if Whole 30 was a store (turns out its a book) and didn't feel like getting 10 comments from ppl saying I made a typo lol
Lol, I'm legit doing research into the anti inflammatory diet because of my fibromyalgia. It's going to take a lot of planning & prepping, but proselytizing definitely isn't part of the plan! This video was a good reminder!
I met a lady at a conference that drinks lots of ginger and turmeric tea every day, she was in a bad car accident and apparently it really keeps her inflammation down.
@@catherinegarmon3027 Yes, turmeric and black pepper, especially together, are antiinflammatories. And no, I don't use them but I know people who do. Educated and actually intelligent people. Helps with migraines and such. We have long recommended turmeric to people with headaches and such.
As a nutrisystem person whom everyone kept asking about my diet…I did see myself in this, because then once I started I never shut up!! You are so right!
Good point. I would have talked about my plan a lot less if people kept asking about it. But I was also glad they could see the changes I couldn't see.
This is also like my friends and acquaintances that sell “health” MLM products. They have to let everyone know how much energy they have, how few cravings, how much better their gut health is, and how much weight they’ve lost every chance they get. They’re nice people, but it drives me crazy.
I kind of experience it the other way around, when I went Vegetarian a few years ago my family would constantly talk about it in front of guests and freinds. It was either unfortunate or they bragged about me being healthy ( despite the fact that the only reason I cut our meat was for my immediate health concerns). I’m happy just managing my eating habits on my own, but every time there’s a dinner or a get together they have to make it a big deal ( while it’s nice that they care, sometimes it’s a bit embarrassing).
The keto part of dipping pork rinds in mayo got me. People brag about losing weight on keto while they’re eating processed meat and other crap clogging their arteries. At least you’ll be skinny when you die 😂
Yeah people on Keto for no medically sound reason, genuinely forgot cholesterol is a thing. I know “sugar makes you fat, not fat, so fat is healthy” is big right now, but people please, cholesterol is still a thing, I swear.
As someone on keto I feel called out. I'm drinking a bunch of water and making sure I eat things that fight that. And I'm mostly avoiding processed meats, I've been sticking with fish.
@@juliuskingsley4434 >As someone on keto I feel called out Good. Keto is a ridiculous Fad Diet with absolutely no scientific basis and you *should* feel called out.
@@ThatRipOff that's false. Try looking up the science before saying that. Either way, I'm eating less calories than before because food with carbs always has a shit ton of calories
Haha, I love this! I’m doing Whole30 now (day 25). I HAVE to tell my co-workers because they bring cake to work for everyone every week! They feel insulted if you don’t take a piece. Most of my friends and family don’t know I’m dieting, unless I turned them down to go out for drinks.
He even has red Tabasco in his fridge. Who in the hell puts red Tabasco sauce in the fridge? That shit kinda' messed me up and caused me to pause the video for a solid 2-3 minutes. It has vinegar and salt in it!!!!
It can and should be medicine if you eat the right things. Unfortunately a lot of the food people eat today is poison. People need to stop worrying about fad diets and focus on eating Whole Foods we are supposed to eat, not the processed artificial crap full of chemicals and other various toxins.
@@v1per_offical I’m a avid supporter of democracy all around the world hella people are un-educated on this war I don’t just truly hope to spread some type of awareness that’s all
I would love to see studies on the correlation between extreme diets for "health" and eating disorders. Myself and several people I know who have been vegan, paleo, etc spiralled into eating disorders because you're constantly having to worry about what to eat next and what's in what you're eating, combing through ingredients lists and asking chefs... It's not healthy to be so extreme. And my health really suffered for it too.
It depends on what’s considered “extreme dieting” and what the motivation is. If you’re a diabetic who wants to live for another 5 years, you do have to obsess over what you eat.
That would actually be a very interesting video, provided someone did it who understood the science. I'm sure there are diets that say they're healthy, but actually have a lot in common with how people think about food, who have eating disorders. I'd definitely watch that.
@@hayleybartek8643 Yes. Diabetes, celiac disease, etc of course warrant particular diets as a matter of life and death. I more meant people who choose an extreme diet just because it's popular or someone on Instagram said it's healthier. I think the worst is when people combine diets and it's gets insanely restrictive - like combining vegan and gluten free for example.
Tell someone with fatty liver not to be so extreme lol Theyre literally killing themselves making their LIVER sick. Can’t LIVE without ur LIVE-r. When it’s dysfunctional life is pretty not-fun.
I eat a triple stack baconator for lunch with a large fry and frosty almost every day at work and I'm not dead yet. Sure, I'm about 150 pounds overweight at the age of 25 but you only live once. I tried a veggie burger one time after my doctor told me to cut back as my cholesterol and sodium levels were high but it literally made me vomit within the first bite. I seriously would rather die from meat than live 100+ years as a vegan never eating it. Once you've had good steaks and burgers there is no turning back lol!
The part that miffed me because it was SO accurate was the person who said "omg I can't eat these bananas, that's like eating a whole chocolate bar." A banana is NOTHING like a chocolate bar and someone on a diet definitely says stupid shit like that👍😂
I did this... 😆 a VERY small sip of grape juice is how I made it work. I am very glad I stopped doing keto, just for the record. It's much easier to have balance without eating tons of bacon and cheese. Who knew?
I don’t support “going on a diet” unless there’s a medical reason, but I do support “favoring a diet.” I like keto because I prefer meat and cheese over bread and starting to not enjoy really sweet stuff anymore.
When you do eat out with friends (God Forbid), make sure to make a huge show about how this is your "cheat meal", otherwise the Diet Gods might not forgive you.
When I eat out with friends I make sure to invite them to the largest chinese buffet in town then scarf down a solid 10 plates in front of them followed by ice cream and cake. I don't touch the rice or veggies just all straight up meat meat meat and sauce. I like to get 3 side bowls worth of sweet and sour sauce and two plates of sweet and sour chicken as well as a plate of chicken on a stick to start personally. Then I usually follow that up with an entire plate (12+) crab rangoons, then I hit up the orange chicken/pork and fish, then usually some lo mien with more chicken, eventually steak and broccoli then whatever else before dessert. Most of the people freak out but I'm almost 400 pounds so I smoke them pretty bad lol. Sure, have high blood pressure but there are pills for that that I take so hell yeah ;)
I've been doing intermittent fasting and eating a Keto diet for a few months. It's working great. All other ways of eating are wrong and bad for your health. Unless I start eating carbs again because I learn something new. Then that will become the correct diet and all others will be wrong. Or if I become vegan, then that will become the correct diet, and all others will not only be wrong and unhealthy, but inhumane.
When I did whole 30 I was so done by the last week lol. I ate fried chicken and chips the day after I was fully done 😅 I wasn’t supposed to do that apparently.
I went vegan for like one meal, my vegan brother took us out to a vegan restaurant and it was easily 10/10 but I felt hungry like 2 hours later so I went out to an all you can eat chinese buffet and probably killed a solid 8-10 plates then I felt full until later when I ordered a large meat loverspizza that I dipped in some ranch after I got home lol. Then again I have thyroid issues that I take meds for that cause weight gain as well so I guess I just gave up as I'm already 400 pounds at 25 and we only live once. My brother does the vegan thing and is a bodybuilder but I could never have that type of motivation.
I just ate a fudge round with whole milk. I also drank a Hershey strawberry milk shake while I am in the pick up line at my child's school. "Dinner" is probably going to be whatever you can find and or sandwiches and chips because I'm not feeling it today
One time I ate 3 pounds of fudge in one setting that was drizzled with hershey syrup and on a bed of vanilla ice cream. The next day I was on the toilet for about 2 hours but man was it worth it.
LOL I can't say anything. I've absolutely been on a diet and had to tell the world... BUT IN MY DEFENSE, people question you when you don't eat what they're eating. Okay?! Step off! 😭😭😂😂😂
