"no one is going to tell you to eat less veggies" 3 years later in 2018 the carnivore diet is born! Just goes to show us how little we know about nutrition and the power behind the idea of "What you see is all there is"
Bullet proof coffee, mtc oil, butter, bio haching, fruits, vegetables and protein? What about protein? We can't eat only veggie. I just ate veggie for a lot of years and I didn't stay well.
All oil coats your epithelial cells in your GI tract and leads to your gut dysfunctioning and the oils go directly in to your blood stream causing Atherosclerosis and a big scale.
Thank you Brian for all you are teaching me! My biggest "Take-Away" from the book, your video, and the note is... 🎯 I'll be joining you in increasing my veggie intake! Let's go greener!! Hope YOU are having another awesome day!! ❤️

such subjective information and misguiding tips to a HEALTHY and lean live. I keen on trusting more experienced physicians as well as scientists as Dr. Barnard and Dr. McDougall. Of course you can lose fat when your energy balance has a deficit....but do you live the healthiest, thus longest and most qualitative live? I don't believe so. At least this diet supports the so important vegetables.
At 7:01 you're discussing olives and avocados being classified as a vegetable. Usually it's high school sophomores who like to trip you up on this. So let me help clarify. Always snap back with, "Which do you mean, the botanical definition or the culinary/dietary definition?" See, botanical definitions are more exact than culinary/dietary definitions, in general. So the botanical definition of fruit would be something like, fleshy structure of a flowering plant or tree containing a seed inside...something like that. A vegetable, well, I'm not sure it even has a botanical definition, but regular dictionary would probably read something like this: plant part that can be eaten...Now, on to culinary definitions, which are more useful, smart-ass sophomores notwithstanding. Usually for the kitchen the sweet ones are fruits and the savory ones are vegetables. So, just for fun, what is rhubarb? How would you classify it? Thanks!
Great note thanks Brian. When you say you have a low carb, high fat diet what does that mean for you? How many carbs do you have a day & what kind? Thanks for the great work, I just signed up to your membership programme :)
+Zoe Basil Not sure about Dave Asprey, but Dr. Perlmutter recommends a diet consisting of: 60->70% fat, 20->30% protein, 10->20% carbs. Just a guideline... Be patient during the first week as your body stresses and re-adapts to a new fuel source (didn't personally have any problems, but I gradually changed my diet over a few months as I learned)
+dutoitns Thanks! I am probably a bit under weight by most people's standards. I dint do weight but I'm about a UK size 6-8. I feel I have a high fat/low sugar diet but I feel I need carbs to sustain my current weight & energy levels. When I quit sugar weight I never knew I had dropped off me so I'm reluctant to cut down carbs in case I disappear completely! Any thoughts suggestions?
+Zoe Basil Yeah, 10->20% carbs as mentioned by Dr. Perlmutter might be a bit hectic. I think if you just eat SOME fat (so that your body actually needs to learn how to use fat as a fuel source) you should be okay. Before I started reading up on this stuff I basically shunned fat like most people - and once I started eating it my excess weight was rapidly used as fuel. Dave Asprey did mention somewhere that he eats a high carb meal a week though - that he doesn't want to be in permanent ketosis but still want to retain some "metabolic adaptibility". Just a layman, hope I said something useful :)
Does it require a nutritionist? Does it help to have a chef who can teach us how to prepare food for our selves? It may be important to get the benefits of the meals themselves
Great catch! This seems like a "yes and..." situation. It's always worth figuring out your own sensitivities to antinutrients ad adjusting (+ optimizing!) accordingly! Zak | Team Optimize Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me

....The Bulletproof diet is Another Low Carb High Fat diet that is popular in Europe and Sweden. The Bulletproof diet is really just another reworking-invention of that diet of Adkins diet with an emphasis on pasture-fed and organic. Any one who sells coffee and supplement they're bias and in it for money not your health . Its just another big sales pitch for a another fad diet of his creation ..another copy cat reinvented . .....HIS DIET IS NOTHING MORE THAN ATKINS MINUS DAIRY AND GRASS FED BUTTER ...SO YOU EAT MORE MEAT AND THEN HE SELLS YOU COFFEE B/C COFFEE SUPPRESSES APPETITE AND GIVES YOU ARTIFICIAL ENERGY...WITHOUT THE COFFEE HE SELLS AND MAKES MONEY OFF YOU WOULD FEEL LIKE ASS...Beware people he's a snake oil salesman ...trying to sell you shit you dont need...yak... butter AND WITH COFFEE TO WIRE YOU ..THAT'S NOT HEALTHY .ANOTHER FAT FAD DIET TO SELL BOOKS AND SWINDLE YOUR MONEY .The Bulletproof diet IS A SCAM AND VERY DANGEROUS UNHEALTHY . How to avoid "Colon Cancer" Lower your protein intake and avoid processed meats entirely .An estimated 135,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year (about 95,500 cases of colon cancer and 39,900 cases of rectal cancer1), and more than 50,000 die from it.Red Meat Linked to Kidney Failure -Red meat increases your risk for kidney failure, according to a study published online in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Researchers assessed data from 63,257 participants as part of the Singapore Chinese Health Study and tracked diet and kidney failure.Those who consumed the most protein from red meat increased their risk for end-stage kidney disease. Saturated fat is toxic , fat that has been cooked is called "damaged fat" causes plaque in the arteries .Eating more than about 20 percent fat in the diet may taste good, and may normalize your weight, but fats contain estrogens, among other things, and this can lead to cancers , heart disease and many other problems. This is very important . Fats should be eaten in the raw state whenever possible, or not overcooked. Most are quite damaged when cooked , and especially when overcooked, such as with deep frying, hard-boiling eggs, pasteurizing dairy milk products, cooking cheese and frying foods. OXIDATED toxic . Adverse Reactions to Ketogenic Diets: Caution Advised ; Gastrointestinal disturbances (diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, constipation, GER) Inflammation risk Thinning hair/hair loss Kidney stones Muscle cramps or weakness Hypoglycemia Low platelet count Impaired concentration/cognition Impaired mood Renal tubular acidosis Nutrient deficiency Disordered mineral metabolism Poor growth in children Skeletal fracture Osteopenia/osteoporosis Increased bruising Sepsis, infection, bacteria overgrowth Pneumonia Acute pancreatitis Long QT intervals Cardiomyopathy Shift towards atherogenic lipid profiles (including hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia) Heart arrhythmia Myocardial infarction, Menstrual irregularities and amenorrhea Death That's a long list. A long list of not-good things. And did you can't that last one? Five scientific papers have reported deaths as an adverse effect from long-term ketogenic diets (here's the citations: Stewart, et al., 2001, Kang, et al., 2004, Kang, et al., 2005, Bank, et al., 2008, Suo, et al., 2013 go to ; www.thepaleomom.com/adverse-reactions-to-ketogenic-diets-caution-advised/ A quick chemistry lesson Your digestive tract is full of bacteria. Some of them feed on choline and carnitine, nutrients in red meat, egg yolks and high-fat dairy products. As they feed, they give off a chemical called TMA (trimethylamine). Your liver turns TMA into TMAO (trimethylamine-N-oxide). TMAO in your blood affects the inner wall of your blood vessels, causing cholesterol buildup. If you have chronically high TMAO, you have double the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. Studies show that levels of TMAO in your blood can help predict your risk of heart disease. A natural treatment So, if TMAO is harmful, how do we get rid of it? One way is to stop gut bacteria from making TMA in the first place. The new study by Dr. Hazen and his team found that a natural substance called DMB (3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol) could do this in mice. The result was lower TMAO levels and fewer clogged arteries. “We were able to show that drugging the microbiome is an effective way to block diet-induced heart disease,” says Dr. Hazen. “It’s much like how we use statins to stop cholesterol from forming in a body’s cells.” DMB is found in some olive and grapeseed oils. Because it’s not an antibiotic, DMB doesn’t kill “good bacteria.” And, unlike antibiotics, there’s little risk of overusing it or building resistance to it. What this means for you There’s a long way to go before treatments are fully tested and approved for humans. “My hope is that, down the road, this type of approach to lowering TMAO can be used to augment other approaches for reducing risk of cardiovascular events,” says Dr. Hazen. In the meantime, should you stop eating meat and other animal products? Dr. Hazen says moderation is key. “Omnivores usually do have higher levels of TMAO than vegetarians and vegans, but not always,” he says. “TMAO level is determined more by your gut microbes than your diet. Other factors also play a role, such as the microbes you’re exposed to and other aspects of your health, like kidney function and genetics.” A test to measure TMAO levels is now available at Cleveland HeartLab. December 31, 2015 / By Heart and Vascular Team Red Meat Linked to Kidney Failure -Red meat increases your risk for kidney failure, according to a study published online in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Researchers assessed data from 63,257 participants as part of the Singapore Chinese Health Study and tracked diet and kidney failure. Those who consumed the most protein from red meat increased their risk for end-stage kidney disease. Results showed that replacing a single serving of red meat with another source of protein, such as soy products or legumes, cut the risk for disease by over 60 percent. These findings support previous research that suggests diets high in processed meats increase risk for disease and mortality. Lew QLJ, Jafar TH, Koh HWL, et al. Red meat intake and risk of ESRD.
