Yeah - its difficult to listen to this guy cause he prefaces and caveats every f*in answer - painful - the kind of guy you spent “small doses” of time with.
“Hey Pete, look outside and tell me if it’s raining “…..Pete: “ Let me tell you about rain…I was swimming off the coast of Hawaii about 6 years ago and it was raining really hard, but one of my crew was a guy who lived in Montana and his father was the CEO of this company that actually manufactured windows that would change color to let you exactly how many centimeters of rain were falling in an amount of time and as luck would have it a patient of mine got me involved in investing in this guys company and since 2009, I’ve been experimenting to find a window that will not only tell you about how much rain is falling but will actually measure your blood glucose levels when you stand near it and the funny thing is…….45 minutes later……” no, it’s not raining “……great patience by Jocko interviewing this guy
Nailed it (and simplified it) towards the end. Cut processed foods and refined sugars. And don’t make diet a religion! Just do what’s sensible and sustainable for you.
Brilliant! Two people that I initially watched on Joe Rogan have come together again in a much needed time. I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 8 months now since watching Peter originally and it has changed my life! Can’t wait to see what new things we can learn from this podcast
Thank You Gentlemen for the video. I was in a similar situation. 55yr old Retired disabled military, always active and working out and eating"properly" yet still gaining weight and last year June I was diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome. The V.A. gave me the same BS about my diet, and I fortunately found a Doc in the V.A. that told me to do my own research and see a nutritionist. After weeks of study on my own I decided to go KETO. Strict KETO to be exact, (less than 20 grams of Carbohydrates per day) I was 240 lbs at the beginning and over a year later, I am at 185 lbs. Last exam shows no fatty liver, no diabetes, and I never took any of the medications for it either. Yes it was difficult at first, but I am in better health now than in my 40s, I maintain my weight easily, and my physical activity is fantastic. What we eat makes ALL the difference in the world!!!!!! Hope this helps GOD BLESS.
At 15:24 Peter goes on a 3 minute full blown marketing pitch on an allulose product by “know foods” then slides into marketing a glucose meter by brand. That was smooth. Didn’t even see it coming
Thats interesting. I thought it was just a narcissistic, soapbox rant about how he knows all things relevant and a clever reminder about why we can't live without his genius gracing our existence.
Wish someone had said that to me after I quit athletics in high school lol who knew you couldn't keep eating the same amount as an athlete while only jogging about 6 miles a week?
I love his answer about talking to people about diet. For some reason it has become extremely dogmatic for people and if you don't agree with a certain diet, it seems like some people take it personally or something and get super emotional and aggressive about it. Its very strange and I've only noticed this in the last 10 or so years. It's like what some people eat is their whole identity or something. Very strange. I agree with his general advice though, eat what your ancestors could have eaten 200 years ago and avoid most packaged foods, that's good advice for anyone to follow without being too specific.
As a type 1 diabetic, blood sugar rules my life. I manage to keep my A1c around 5.5 so my health insurance will not give me a CGM. What he said about standard deviation of average glucose is spot on.
@@xYouthAttackx It does. There’s something he must not be telling us. It’s literally the law of thermodynamics you can’t break science. A calorie is just a measurement of the amount of energy food gives us. If you are in an energy surplus, you gain weight. So it doesn’t matter how much exercise you’re doing if your eating too much food. It’s impossible to gain weight or remain at the same weight if you are in a deficit. So even with all that cardio he must have not being realizing how much crap he was putting in his body probably eating over 3K calories a day. Oh Nvd I have the answer. He literally said he didn’t want to decrease the amount of calories he was taking in because he didn’t like being hungry. So he tried to change what he was eating and that resulted in him not eating sugar. Well sugar has more calories than carbs and fats and proteins, so I’m sure by doing that even if he didn’t think he was changing the amount of food he was eating he still was because he was eating things with no sugar and therefore less calories, being in a caloric deficit, and losing weight.
@@xYouthAttackx the dude conveniently talks about the diet he was following only in reference to saturated fat but no other variables. meanwhile he's a high performing athlete who wouldnt be following a 2000 calorie food pyramid thing to begin with. a lot of things dont add up here lol
@@reecegeorgens1755 they type's of calories are more important than quantity is what I'm getting at. You can be eating empty calories like chips and soda and be pre-diabetic like he was. Also fasting plays a huge role in preventing many of modern days diseases.
Great advice! I often wonder what the impact of a culture of children eating processed sugared will be like in the future. In the area I live in, processed sugar, added sugars, and low nutrition foods are common, unfortunately. Add to that the low number of accessible parks and safe trails. We do what we can though. We'll keep getting after it.
Rice, potatoes, lentils, oats. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds. Sardines, tuna, beef, chicken, turkey. FERMENTED foods in the morning. What my diet consists of if anyone is looking for some new foods to try out.
I think 200 years ago, my Italian ancestors were eating grains and other high glycemic foods. I'd be interested in results of a CGM to see what keeps my spikes within the 10 point range.
As someone who suffers from complex sleep apnea and narcolepsy, sleep deprivation suuuuucks. I still get my workout of the day in. Hardest shit I’ve ever dealt with. Jocko’s face was funny though.
knock ur self out man . why not smoke weed? it won’t make u sick and the high is better cause I can still work on it . I’m a functional weed smoker . some people get lazy on it . still better than getting s faced . but that’s just me . I’m not judging.
@@crazymacedonianboi honestly I grew up watching friends smoke weed and I admit I was a bit jealous because I'd trip hard. Was never a good time on it. Someone said edibles in small amounts might be what I should do. Vodka gets me very energetic and I don't get hung over if I drink enough water, but it's way bad on the liver. Not endorsing alcoholism at all lol.
This is the intermittent fasting guy. I've downloaded his app and I think it's awesome. I think it's called Zero but I can't remember. It's become such a force of habit to me at this point that I don't even use the app anymore but I would still recommend it for people that want it
I don’t think I’m ready to swim from LA to Catalina Island. I haven’t been swimming at all. but the Lake Eire swim hopefully next Summer when the pandemic calms down . but I have to train for it. I have to be able to spot and navigate and never have done any open water swim like I said.
I drink milk . I barely drink pop only if I’m eating out . but I do eat a lot though. but I got high metabolism and burn it off because I’m always doing something. but I do smoke weed and sometimes mess with Molly . so definitely not perfect but I try .
Being from MN.. swimming that far in the ocean at night is terrifying to me. At this point in my life... very few things could get me to do that. I would feel like a fishing lure just waiting to get smacked.
As a type 2 diabetic hearing these numbers are mind boggling mine aren't those on my best day.. And he thought he needed gastric is funny, mildly offensive....lol
It is offensive, he's ridiculous lol. I've been a junior doctor for a bariatric surgeon, patients are humongous to even consider the risk that comes with such a surgery lol.
14 hours swimming! WTF instead of sleeping 8 or 6 hours, let's swim for 14 hours straight. Talk about hardcore crazy. Nice goal to have though, congrats
I don't think he was a doc at that point, he started out as a mechanical engineer and turned doctor. But I'm not positive. Also, there was a lot less research done in the subject at that point.
Interesting perspective, but really, just because we don’t know everything about the best nutrition, doesn’t mean we don’t know anything. It’s too simplistic to say that. Step back, look at the science, make a call, and act. Discipline in what you eat reinforces discipline in other aspects of your life. Be psyched you can “train yourself” to be more “holistically” disciplined every meal. Have a Caesar salad and a steak and then get after it!
I love the time when Jocko asks him to translate what he is saying to English! JW = SAVAGE...just give it to me straight Dic...sorry Doc. Damn Autocorrect.
Can you guys do a talk about why in the world is the suicide rate for returning Veterans is so high? Like... We go out and help teach others to defend themselves and fight our battles as well as others' battles and kids go through some shit and they get back to the families and the land and the home they have been fighting for and off themselves instead? This does not make sense in my little brain.
Ptsd, survival guilt, friends dying, trauma, shift in perspective and personality, physical and head injuries You come back a different person, many do not adapt Become depressive, depression leads to suicide And then they off themselves
Says "I'm doing everything right" while "following the 'food pyramid'" lol. The hubris of thinking you're doing everything right while lacking the awareness that you don't know what's right
This guy is making things way harder than they need to be. His simple answer is really all you need. Just don't eat processed crap. Eat low calorie dense foods and btw it's still calories in vs calories out. You can't break the laws of thermodynamics. Eat 3-5 meals a day reduce fat a bit eat more fiber and a moderate to high level of protein. Also fasted cardio is not as good of thing as people think
Calories out doesn't just stay the same at a magically high number no matter what. If you eat low protein and high sugar, low micronutrients, that number can fall drastically due to inflammation, fatty liver etc. People keep saying calories in calories out but when EVER someone says that I know they generally only watch calories in and think calories out can only be manipulated with activity.
He's 1000% right about not being able to have an intellectually honest conversation about nutrition. So much bullshit and sales surrounding the topic it's disgusting
It seems like most Caucasians do better on a low carb diet. Most mediterraneans don't. I tried keto and low carb and it was a disaster. Switched to a whole food high carb diet (kept only sardines and salmon once to twice a week, the rest was vegan stuff) and lost weight (mostly fat) super fast. My take is that there are no rules, experiment and see what works for you.
It all about gut health 1st then making sure you not putting you insulin through the paces 24/7. “ I’m not going to talk about sugar because I don’t really know”? Wtf. And this guys a doctor?
Dude says he cant tell you why sugar is bad, nutrition is a pseudoscience and wanted a gastric bypass at like 6ft, 210 lbs and when asked "what should I eat" he can't give you an answer but says ideally everyone needs a glucose monitor installed. He's supposed to be a medical professional? Maybe I need to give dude a deeper listen but just from this he sounds whack.
Sugar is bad because it causes fatty liver slowly which causes metabolic syndrome. To enhance this effect, eat a high sugar low protein diet. The answer is at 19:05. If you didn't understand, don't mock the intelligent.
