If N=1 trials are to be ignored, no antibiotics for you. Penicillin's only mass trial was with mice, after that it was one patient at a time. Also "anecdotes". The reason it was acceptable because it acted so fast. The reason carnivore is legit is because results happen almost immediate too. There goes that autoimmune disease you've been told your whole life was "incurable"..
I’m not a Vegan, but really enjoy your content. I’ve learned a lot from you. I don’t eat a lot of beef, but can’t say I’m completely plant based although I love beans, fruits and veggies. I appreciate your positivity and honesty!
I've been plant based for a few months after being low carb for nearly two years on the advice of doctors after I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. On low carb, I felt horrible. Constant nausea and digestive issues, skin issues, brain fog, worsening insulin resistance, sleep apnea, reflux, etc. All are completely gone or drastically improved since going plant based in November. I'll never go back!
@@tarabooartarmy3654 I am also type 2. I also do a 1-hour full body strength training workout four times a week. Tthat alongside the plant-based diet has drastically improved my health.
Yes, you stopped activating the "Randle cycle". Once you stop activating this, your inflammation will go down and you will feel better. The lack of amino acids and vitamins/minerals in the vegan diet, however, will do irreparable damage to your body in a year or two. Just a heads up. Try at least vegetarian to avoid symptoms of long term veganism.
@@vanamarkarian Defeated your own argument; if our body makes the cholesterol we need, we don’t need to eat a load more. High LDL in our blood stream is a key indicator we are eating too much fat in our diet and our body can’t deal with it properly. We can all do research, other people’s research on how many meat diet influencers have died young has influenced me.
@@jgreen9361 LDL isn’t important as long as ur triglycerides and HDL are good… ur body needs cholesterol, I haven’t heard of people who eat meat based are dying at a young age… I follow heart doctors and other doctors who advocate for cholesterol and eating meat
I just wish what I eat doesn’t have to be a discussion and judgement by others. I went plant based this past spring for health reasons. I was noticing that any time I ate animal products, whether at home or in a restaurant, I felt sick and suffered digestive issues. I’ve been lactose intolerant for 30+ years, so cutting out the rest of the animal products wasn’t super tough. Especially now, since there are so many great vegan and plant based content creators with great recipes. But making the change to my diet has made such a difference. I live in the rural Midwest. I’m the oddity buying tofu and tempeh at my supermarket. When we go out to eat (which I study the menu ahead of time) I try to not be the annoying customer making too many changes to my order. My husband’s family doesn’t really understand me. My BIL and his wife believe a meal’s protein source has to be meat. Even pasta sauce has to have meat in it. My MIL thinks I should be able to eat eggs. I just want to eat my meals in peace.
I am 50, been vegan for 10 years, and l just feel normal. I think everyone tends to exaggerate the differences. My life has gone on much the same as before. That being said, l have no aches and pains, and l am quite fit. But my sister in law who is also vegan, struggles with back pain from an old yoga injury. It's all just normal
@@Zeno-f4ythey’re not exaggerating how they feel. But they ARE exaggerating WHY they feel a difference. For example, people who “feel great”after switching to a “vegan diet” almost invariably changed their eating habits as well (e.g., eating more home cooked meals, etc.). But they’ll still attribute the change to “going vegan” exclusively and will probably fight you if you suggest that going vegan forced them to change their eating habits as well. I think it’s because people generally don’t want to admit that their eating habits weren’t great BEFORE the change.😊
I saw a video of 94 year old heart surgeon promoting vegan diet. He's been vegan for over 50 years. Ill listen to that rather than the steak guy. For the past year-ish I've been on and off vegan and recovering from an ACL surgery. Accidentally or not, every time i went back to eating animal products, i had a setback with my recovery....
Its strange to me that diets have become political... Carnivore equals conservative and vegan liberal ,well I'm omnivore so I guess I'm in the middle 😂 the world is crazy now.
Right? I have been pale my whole life, even when I was on carnivore. I'm of mostly European descent, including Irish. I have native American from both grandmothers, but aside from high cheekbones, I don't look it. I'm as pale as pale can be and I burn easily. It's ridiculous to think vegans are pale because of diet.
It's not really that weird since all vegans have to use supplements and the vegan diet is typically low in iron and people who are low in iron are often are pallid
@@johndonald1234567890 that’s soooo misinformed. There’s more iron in lentils (6.7 mg per 100 grams) than any meat source except liver (lean beef has 2.2 mg per 100 grams) and how many people do you know who eat liver on a regular basis? While most of the vegans I know do eat lentils often. There’s also plenty of iron in beans, seeds, spinach, etc. In fact, most of the top plant based sources of iron have more per 100 grams than most of the top meat sources. And the only supplement vegans really need to take is B-12, but if you’re claiming vegans are taking multivitamins and iron is included, then they wouldn’t be deficient anyway so you just contradicted yourself.
@@johndonald1234567890 that’s so silly. I track all my food and get more than enough iron. The only ones not getting enough iron are fruitarians and they’re a minority
Lol yeah, all the nonvegan people in my life have noooo wrinkles, no grey hair, no pimples, no back, hip, knee pain, no problems at aaaaall. They all look and feel like 15 year olds🤣. They are actually never ever ever sick. Like ever.
@jeanettenejadi1777 omnivores are not "plant based". A plant based diet is a diet that is mostly plants. It's in the name. The whole point of being omni is that you are eating a good amount of both animal products and plants. It's the middle camp. A plant based diet can also refer to a predominantly "vegan" diet but where the person doesn't subscribe to the ethical stance of being a vegan. They might eat a bit of animal protein here and there.
I always tell people I feel much the same as before I was vegan. Then 59, now 63. Same weight etc. The only noticeable plus is that my gut health has been fantastic since quitting animal products and before it was always a bit hit and miss. I don’t always get the healthiest options and didn’t before. I guess I am fortunate that I have tended to take good health for granted. Some of my friends I know are waiting for me to be too ill or weak to stay vegan. One said 4 years ago that the tipping point will be 2 years in but well into my 5th year now and he hasn’t ever brought the subject up again.
I really appreciate your pessimism and honesty. I haven’t been successful in fully going vegan but you inspire me to keep trying, you make me know that my swaps are not for nothing. Here is to more 30+ Mom’s just trying to do their best online.
Unnatural Vegan said that she has some annoying aches and pains. I am in my late 60's and stopped feeling chronic aches and pains in my muscles and joints when I stopped eating animal products. I love to exercise including chin ups, hiking, and Freestyle Frisbee. I eat a fully plant based diet that is centered around whole foods, both raw and cooked.
@@kevinbbadd You appear to be younger than I am. That means you haven't proven that you can avoid winning the Darwin award as of yet. You and I are in a marathon race to see who lives longer. You can pat yourself on the back when you reach my age, but you won't know how long I eventually lived at that point. I have always respected the views of others who have some life experience. What is wrong with that?
@@jeanettenejadi1777 My full story is at my channel, including my "Road to Damascus" moment that led me to switch to a plant based diet and then to go vegan.
People have a very distorted view of aging these days. Thanks to readily available fillers plus filters we don’t really know what people look like. I’ve seen carnivore diet advocates banging on about health benefits whilst clearly using filters.
5:44 but they are being shitty. Attacking someone’s appearance or perceived health status because they don’t agree with their diet is shitty. 10:24 see that is so fucking shitty to say. “Looking like someone going through a terminal illness” is not a phrase we should be using as an insult. Shame on them.
I'm not vegan nor vegetarian but I don't eat a lot of it either specially red meat. I think with them is almost patriotic eating meat or "manly " rather than nutrional value. That's why they always attack appearance rather than facts.
The term you are looking for is hypercarnivore as it is the correct descripter for an animal which has a diet that is more than 70% meat, either via active predation or by scavenging. The remaining non-meat diet may consist of non-animal foods such as fungi, fruits or other plant material. 👍 Also, it's not a fad diet. Considering the fossil evidence that we have been eating this way as a species long enough for evolutionary adaptation to occur. Hence, the nearly vestigial cecum or appendix.
even if it is fad if it makes someone healthy and happy and able to do many thing in life which he/she loves it is more than ok. Food are fuel not for entertainment.
I would say the evidence for the "hyper carnivor" diet is pretty slim. Our ancestors were like mostly plant based. Homo sapiens was an omnivore pretty early on and the exact split between meat and plants is quite difficult to determine. The fact is, meat was always tough and/or expensive to get so a 70%+ meat diet was probably unlikely for most of homo sapiens, at least since we settled down+/-10.000 years ago.
@annyjones7228 yep, it's already been established by scientists that our ancestors ate a lot of plants. It's also how they cleaned their teeth; the fibrous vegetation is good at that. Hunting a wild animal was exhausting and needed a whole tribe at times. It was not sustainable to focus on hunting all the time. They would have starved. Early humans lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle with emphasis on the "gathering".
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for mentioning long covid 😭 I’m 17 and have long covid (POTS/MECFS) for two years. I’ve gone from being able to go to school, top of my class and performing in choir and musicals to being housebound and using a wheelchair as I’m unable to walk more than a few minutes consecutively. I love your videos and when I clicked on this one I was surprised you posted it minutes ago. I didn’t expect you to mention long covid, no one ever does and I paused the video just to comment because I’m so grateful. I watch your videos, usually listen to them at night when I can’t sleep due to pain and other symptoms. Your videos make me feel a lot better about not being ‘perfect’ with my nutrition especially with how much unsolicited advice disabled people get about how this diet or that diet will fix us. I feel so seen knowing that someone I’ve been watching and look up to actually knows people like me exist and that it’s a real condition. Thank you so much for validating our experiences because most people don’t even acknowledge that we exist or worse yet think it’s psychological ❤️
Yes TY Swayze for the shout out. A lot of people with LC lived extremely healthy lifestyles beforehand, personally I was not perfect but I was extremely active and I ate vegetables. We likely have some type of genetic predisposition to developing a post viral illness. There's only so much of your health that you can control. The truth is this type of "change your diet and you will be cured" mentality is based a lot on the idea that we are all the only ones responsibly for our health. Which is true on some level, but with Long Covid the most likely scenario is that the only way we will ever see any type of standard treatment or cure is through more research and more investment from pharmaceutical companies(ugh). So every time someone with a platform sheds a little light on long covid, I feel a little bit of hopefullness that my illness is becoming more well known and understood.
@@Silversumire I’m so sorry you’re in this position too, but it’s really good to meet someone else with it out in the wild so to speak. And yes they do! I’ve been active on twitter in the long covid community since I got sick and so many are bodybuilders or athletes. I think the mentality of the no pain no gain mindset and being used to pushing past physical pain or fatigue that we do when working out is what causes it, since in MECFS, exercise makes us sicker and suddenly we can’t bounce back. I know for me I was very physically active and over exercised after I initially caught the virus, now studies and experts are saying the best ways to prevent long covid is not to catch it at all or if you do, to rest and completely listen to your body’s signals if you’re tired or feeling any forms of symptoms for up to a few months after. Exactly that, I feel hopeful when I hear people talk about it outside of my circles, we are being seen and hopefully that means the outlook on complex chronic illnesses is changing. I’m also feeling very hopeful because there are a lot of drug trials (ie ampligen, BC007) and research happening now to find bio markers and treatments. And, in America, they just had a hearing on Long Covid which is historic. MECFS patients have been here for decades and I’ve met a few who have been suffering with post viral illness for 20-30 years, I really hope that research can help them too. Sending love ❤️❤️
What in the wide wide world of sports? You look amazing! And it is mind boggling that people think trying any elimination diet for 30 days is going to change your appearance! The only way that might happen is if you eliminated something you were allergic to.
Thanks for speaking about long covid. I’ve been vegetarian for 5 years and then became vegan 7 years ago. Was perfectly physically healthy before corona, now I can barely walk ten steps, sometimes I have to crawl to the bathroom on my knees, I cannot comprehend written content, which is devastating for a journalist, and the daylight causes severe migraines, so from dawn till dusk I am wearing sleep mask and listen to RU-vid videos (thank God I can do this at least). You cannot imagine how many doctors told me I will get better if I start eating meat 🤦🏻 pretty much same doctors who say that women are overreacting and because I have BPAD it’s all in my head. So frustrating.
I know we shouldn't talk about looks...but that guy's bright red puffy face isn't exactly making him look like the image of health. He looks like his blood pressure is sky high.
the camera actually picks up those fine shades in the skin color. his face is rosy due to hemoglobin, which is obviously within healthy range. it's also the explanation why vegans, I mean those who don't use filters, look so pale.
@@orirune3079 nah, you're probably thinking of dilated capillaries with which the cheeks of elderly people, or sometimes alcoholics, are riddled. but no, this is quite different. look at carnivores who have been on that diet for some time, regardless of their age, and you'll see that they're all rosy in the face, unlike vegans. in other words, it's not solely about age; the camera is going to emphasize it for some reason.
@@v.a.n.e. I'm of Irish heritage and can say with 100% certainty that people in my family just get red-faced with age. And none of them are alcoholics or particularly unhealthy (omnis though). Just a lifetime of sun exposure and aging leads to it. Obviously the carnivore diet isn't going to help though, I'm honestly hoping that sunscreen and veggies can keep me from that florid appearance for a while.
@Ruski.Princess Finally someone said it. Yes, Baker is obviously on steroids and denies it. He is like a washed down "Liver King", promoting carnivore diet through lies.
Thank you for making this video a lot of my friend are always try to convince me to eat meat again. I’ve been a vegetarian for going on 5 years now slowly trying to go vegan. Not gonna lie it has been a struggle to cut out cheese milk eggs etc. Butt I always appreciate your honest feedback on topics like this! I always tell my friends to check out your videos if there ever interested in cutting out animal products from there diet or even just eating less meat :)
I just heard someone say that in they have such a closed mindset because they never learned to think in more complex ways in regards or their belief but it can also apply here. Critical thinking or seeing a complex issue for what it is doesn't seem to be the norm.
I don't care either way how people choose to eat. I did try the carnivore diet and all my joint pain went away. My goal was to add regular foods back in. When I added potatoes back in my joint pain came back with a vengeance and I could hardly get out of bed for 3 days. I don't know why this happened. I wish I could eat whatever I wanted but I just can't. Also my depression &anxiety went away and my sleep improved immensely.
@@ThingsYoudontwanttohear nah, I'm not much of a misanthrope, despite my best efforts. you have to admit it's one of the most crucial conditions to become a vegan.
@@ThingsYoudontwanttohear well, that might be true; I never claimed to be perfect. however, if you're not yet a vegan, misanthropy cannot possibly be a result of something you have yet to become. see, it's just an observation, not really a support for my narrative.
It IS gross. I did it for nearly two years after my doctor told me I hade type 2 diabetesand scared me into thinking too many carbs were going kill me. I felt nauseous all the time and had so many health issues. They're all gone or drastically better now that I've been plant based since November. Every time I ever tried keto I had to give up after a while because I just couldn't take feeling so icky all the time. I know some people claim to feel awesome on keto or carnivore, but I felt horrific.
@@tarabooartarmy3654I'm assuming people who feel great on a carnivore diet have broad food sensitivities or untreated nutritional deficiencies of the nutrients in meat or ate a lot of junk, grease, etc
I tried carnivore for 1 day. I was supposed to try it for a week to find out my food intolerances. I quit after dinner. I am happy and healthy when I eat a wide array of plant foods.
I was willing to listen to what the carnivore dieters had to say. But it started to sound really snake oils salesman when one of the doctors claimed we could all LITERALLY LIVE TO 120 if we all just ate 100% meat. Uh. And saying how you'll never age. I've been plant based for 15 years, almost 40 years old and recently I keep getting told I look way too young to be my age. I overheard my new boyfriend's brother telling him a guy he works with made a remark like "isn't she a little too young for him" and called him a peed. If it's my genes or the diet idk. The new boyfriend's brother is carnivore btw and keeps trying to pressure me.
Could you do more videos like this reacting to people making fun of vegans? There's so many videos of 'vegans getting owned' and it's super frustrating. Maybe I should just got off the internet too that could help lol
I tried to tell some carnivore interested person years ago that any true foodie would not like this diet. She said, oh it’s for health, and not about enjoying food.
Your hip flexors hurt because of tightness and muscle imbalances that has been created by sitting a lot on chair, in a car, etc that be solved by using cross ball, some corrective exercises and enough hydration. It doesn’t have anything to do with aging or being vegan. I assure you 💪💚
@hannahmitchell87 Actually that’s not right. Lower back is tight too, it needs to be release rather than strengthening. What it needs the strengthening is actually your core and glute ( bum ).
@KsandrPann Release the right muscles with cross ball plus doing plank, quadruped and hip extension is great exercises for activating deep core and glute, but the problem often is people just go through exercises to get it done. They actually lack mindfulness and lack of biomechanics knowledge. Lots of people do plank ( even for a long time ) but they lack engaging the right muscles with a right posture.
Unfortunately due to allergies and malabsorption I failed multiple times going vegan and even vegetarian (yes, ive been to doctors and been blood tested etc. This has been 25 years in and out of doctors offices). But I still believe in it, I still only use vegan makeup and other vegan products, and I try to eat as many fibrous foods and as low saturated fat as I possibly can. Just because my health doesn't lend to being totally plant based doesn't mean carnivore is even on the horizon for me. And even if I had to (like if I woke up allergic to all plants lol), I still wouldn't push it for the general public. Scientifically, plant based is best and for the animals and planet, veganism is the best choice overall. End rant haha. Love you Swayze. You're one of my favs
Poor dear, how can you live like this?? Just eat what your body accepts, stop forcing low nutrient garbage into it for the sake of animals that would eat you without a thought.
@@helmaschine1885humans do not eat carnivores. We eat large herbivores or omnivores (cows, chickens, fish). Even a lion will likely leave a human alone provided they don't do anything stupid. So your reasoning is flawed.
Before I got a recent celiac diagnosis, I'd see the carnivore diet around being peddled as a cure for IBS and similar GI ills. It's frustrating that the people it "cured" likely just needed to go on an elimination diet and slowly reintroduce more variety. Heck, if I were desperate and willing enough to eat meat (let alone ONLY meat), I might have thought it cured me too since a carnivore diet would be naturally gluten free. Turns out though that I also feel great just eating my normal diet minus the gluten. I don't doubt that some minority of people out there might have severe enough sensitivities to a broad range of plant foods that maybe a meat-centered diet might be the only way for them to get enough nutrition, but it seems highly unlikely for that to be true for all the carnivore evangelists out there.
Most people don't realise that humans can be allergic or intolerant to certain meats. Chicken allergies do exist. My SO is intolerant to beef. So it is a myth that meat is a cure-all for ailments and "hypoallergenic". The hypoallergenic thing floats around a lot in carnivore spaces.
Eating fatty meat doesn't make you constipated. That is normal that people on carnivore diet have 1-2 bowel movement per week bc these foods don't have fibers in it and the body can absorb almost all the food they eat.
I eat an animal based diet, more specifically carnivore but I subscribe and follow your content since I enjoy your take on things without neccessarily agreeing with you on most things there are a few insights you do impart that question the community around my diet which I appreciate and keep me less biased. :) Great Content
For me, as someone who enjoys 75% of meals as sugary drinks, whatever it is at the end of the day, I'll still be taking my multi supplement. I just feel like people over complicate conversations about diet and nutrition when in reality it's so simple that it's boring.
Throughout our lives we can have injuries regardless of diet. As we get older, they can take longer to heal. Period. You look healthy and not a day over your age. If I look older as a vegan, fine. As long as I'm not actually sick, my desire to be kind to animals is stronger than my desire to be attractive
I love this video! You always make me laugh, you’re so naturally funny and just get straight to the point. Did not know ‘carnism’ was a word so good to know! I also love the fact that you’re wearing eyeshadow or “makeup” in general again. I always loved when you dabbled in makeup especially in your older videos! Some looks you did!
Dear Unnatural Vegan: I have been eating 95% carnivore for 10 months now. I used to have arthritis pain in my knuckles; I have several non-bending knuckles that have been crippled with arthritis for years now. As of about 2 months into my new diet, they all quit hurting. I rarely get any kind of “aches and pains” any more. I changed my diet after being told I have possibly 2 kidney stones in my left kidney. 80% of kidney stones are calcium oxalate. Oxalate is found in great quantities in spinach, nuts, especially almonds, beet greens, and grain-like seeds like quinoa and teff. It’s in lesser quantities in many, many plants that humans commonly eat, including grains and potatoes. It’s ubiquitous in the western diet. I’m 65. You DO look older than your calendar years. You look pale and washed out. If you have those aches and pains at your young age, something is not right. I recover better from exercise now. I hardly burn in the sun now. I sleep like a baby. I have no mid-afternoon energy slump any more. My nails are stronger than they used to be. My mood is calm; things that used to bug me I now find way less irritating. In the carnivore community, my experiences are common. People get cured, yes, CURED, of depression. Bipolar disorder. T2 diabetes. And so much more. Dr. Baker is right: eating a lot more meat, and way less plant matter, would be very good for your health, both physical and mental. I wish you and all vegans well. 🙏
I am 24 and I have knee pain and not because I am vegan not because I don't eat a carnivore diet but because I cycled a little too hard on my bike and now have patellafemoral syndrome. People need to consider the counterfactuals. We are humans we age our bodies don't last forever.
The ugly truth about ageing: genetics. My dad is 9 older than my mum but he looks roughly the same age. They have had the same diet since they got married, 40 years ago and they are both equally active. I love how you say that these are actually just selling points for pseudoscience because admitting that we age at our own rhythm would be a MASSIVE decline in sale of miraculous diets, creams and such. Of course I'm not saying there aren't things that help slower the process. Eating a plant based diet, excercise, bla bla we know all of that. But as you point out, all of these makes you feel better and live better but definitely will not magically stop our hair from going grey! 🩶 We need more normalisation of aging! Thank you sooooo much for this!!
I'm not currently vegan because I'm living with someone with an eating disorder but my stomach improved alot by eating vegan. I didn't know I was lactose intolerant, I didn't know my IBS made digesting fatty food an absolute hell. Some people just have different reactions to foods 😞.
I have been vegan, but it's just not for me. I have crohns disease and during my vegan years I lost 2/3 of my large intestine. And about meter 8f my small intestine.
If he's eating meat doing the reaction of your video. It means he's just mocking people who are vegan. But listen up don't let it bother you you do what you do for yourself and be healthy. Truth is we all have to change the way we eat anyways.
You look great, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! I'm glad you brought up that vegan and carnivore are not opposites. The majority of people still see Veganism as a diet only and have never heard about Karnism. You can't compare a philosophy with a fad diet.
My family member is currently having a double bypass surgery, literally right now. He’s been eating 85-90% meat mostly his entire life. I’m not saying his diet caused it, but it’s certainly hasn’t prevented it. I really hope his surgery goes well, but I’m hoping he’ll make some major changes in his diet/lifestyle.
Well first of all carnivore diet is subgenre for ketogenic diet and the main thing is not to eat carbs (limited max 20 grams for a day) and turn your body from carb burning to fat burning. Carnivore is just more strick than keto. It is a elimination diet to fix many health problems and heal your body. Also in healthy ketogenic and carnivore diet people are not consuming seed oils or margarine (both are highly processed) and eats only fat from animals or from dairy like butter. If you are in keto you can eat also olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil. Basicly oils/fats that have lots of omega 3 instead of high amouns of those oils that contain more inflammatory omega 6 and transfats. So mostly vegan diets are carb based diets and the main problem for many people is the carbs. As long your body relies on getting carbs and works with carbs it usualy doesn´t burn fat as it should. Carb based life leads most of the people to insuline resitance and to type 2 diabetes and causes obesety. On a ketogenic lifestyle you make your body to fat adaptive and you use ketones as your source for energy instead of carbs. That is possible for vegan too, but it would be very hard to get enough proteine and fat from plant based food sources. You also can´t get vitamines like D3 or B12 from any vegetable. And this the base for keto and carnivore. I am not on carnivore becouse i like to veggies as well. But i have noticed in last 11 monhs in keto that the less i eat veggies the better my gut health is. Every time that i ate more of veggies i get bloated, i get gas problems and most of the time i suffer from dhiarria. So it would better if i would go fully carnivore instead of keto. But i just enjoy the taste of sallads, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, bell peppers, onions, garlic, turnips, carrots and etc. that i don´t want to switch to full carnivore. I still want variety to my food even that i know those are going to be bad for my guts. But i have to say as i were all ready insuline resistant at over 11 months ago, i sure am not anymore. Just in three months i fixed my blood sugars to idealic state. i have loct ove 57 lbs of weight (26kg). I were obese when i started and now i am slightly over weight (in three months i´ll be normal weight by BMI). There is so much of health benefits that i gained from ketogenic diet that i couldn´t even believe first. All came as bonus as i were planing to lose some weight and get rid of insuline resistance. I wont get back to carb based diet / lifestyle again, that for sure. I don´t want to risk my help becouse some boso has determined guide lines how we should eat. That is totaly b*llshit. That is the reason to get so sick in the first place. I am 43 years now and i am healthier than i were at my 20:ees...
You lost weight due to calorie deficit not because you were "fat adapted". Also there is no data that high carb diets cause insulin resistance/Type 2 diabetes its the opposite. There are actually people who gain weight on carnivore . online many people complain about the weight gain despite everyone saying you can eat as much butter as you want. I'm not saying animals products are bad for you or that we should be vegan because that's also not good for long term health. Animal products like meat eggs etc can be good for you but overall diverse diet can be benefical. however people with extreme autoimmune conditions can benefit from very extreme elimination diet like carnivore. Also feeling bloated by veggies can be easily fixed by fermenting it and also just a sign of poor gut health it's not that the veggies and fibre is bad for you. but congrats on you being health.
@@Pokerface8899 " there is no data that high carb diets cause insulin resistance/Type 2 diabetes its the opposite" So tell me if the carb based high carb poor nutrition doesn´t make you insuline resistant or having t2d, what does? Of course bad fats and highly processed "foods" combined to carbs are propably that "Bermudan triangle" that creates inflammation and insuline resistance way quicker than whole food, low calorie and making everything from scratch. I tried many kinds of diets that were carb based and those didn´t work. I were on low carb diet, eating whole foods, ditched bad fats and oils and even ate suplements just in case that i wouldn´t get enough daily for my food. Still i gained 2kg/4,4lbs weight every year. But when i finaly dropped carbs below 20 grams a day and finaly got to stage that my body had to start burning fat for energy, i was eating way more calories that ihad eaten for years. I took me three days to get to that point. After that i started to get the respond what i needed and my body were finaly burning the fat. First three months i losted 13kg/28,66lbs and my high blood sugars dropped to the ideal stage. Yes, people can and will gain weight on carnivore diet. It is completly bs that you can eat as much butter as you want. Calories still are calories in carnivore and keto too. You sure burn fat but over eating is still possibility. Also in carnivore and keto, you´re eating high amounts of proteine so it is pretty easy to gain muscle too. But there is that benefit even that you gain weight you can still see that your clothes were getting loose and you are dropping sizes of your clothes. I had that kindof stages couple of tines as i started to move more after losing weight becouse i had more energy and as getting lighter it was way more easier. Fermented foods doesn´t help my gut problems. Fermented foods only gets me bad dhiarria. Lactic acids are even worse. After several months on keto i now know witch veggies causes me troubles and irritates my bowls. So i rather ditch those out of my diet and eat others. I still like to eat veggies and don´t want those out of my diet, but the just had to eliminate few off. But everyone does what ever it takes for getting healthier. We all are still induviduals and everybody have to find the own path what works the best. For my experience i ain´t returning carb based lifestyle. I rather keep these health benefits that i have gained. Helthy life for you too!
I don’t know if you have before, but you should talk a little bit about his background. He lost his license, so he can’t practice medicine. He’s a quack.
Lol, from Rational Wiki >The New Mexico Medical Board ordered the "voluntary and permanent surrender" of Baker's medical license in 2017. "This action was based on failure to report adverse action taken by a healthcare entity and incompetence to practice as a licensee."... Baker's license was reinstated with stipulations in 2019. However, despite his license being reinstated, Baker has yet to find employment as an orthopedic surgeon.
So we’ve been mainly plant based for a while now and I had a baby 17m ago. For me that had aged me 10years at least! 😅 having said that I think I look a lot older, I still had to show my ID in a pub the other day, at 37! I had just dyed my hair though, which started turning grey when I was mid 20s!! Pre plant based.. ha! You look early 30s to me tbh.
Exactly! I’ve been vegetarian or vegan since my tween years (I’m now MUCH older). And I, sometimes, wear vegan merch. Random people often see my merch and tell me “I tried going vegan but…” It’s a huge effort to choose my words carefully when responding.😅
I eat all fruits, nuts and seeds and juice my veggies to avoid phytotoxins disrupting the absorption for fuel. I supplement ontop of them. Theres nothing special about it, i dont feel amazing, but i just perform well and im sharp. 25, i look older than i am, always have. Everythings for optimal health.
@@jeanettenejadi1777 i feel clean and my digestion is normal, and my focus is razor sharp. But it's been a year. I still have to get used to having an empty stomach.
Swayze, you should do a video on vegan supplements. i saw some marketed towards vegans on amazon that seemed pretty bad in term of nutrients vegans actually need more of.
Im 230# male, vegan for 4 years, bicycle, run, climb, lift weights. I wat all sorts of vegan food (carbs, protein, fats). I freaking love being vegan/ plant based.
I can't believe all these people who try to insult you by saying you look old/tired and completely ignore the fact that you've been on RU-vid for like 15 years now (of course you look older because you ARE) and have had 3 kids in the last 5 years or SOMETHING (no doubt you ARE more tired) lol
I guess the challenge here is that the weight of anecdotal evidence - i.e. reports from individuals on the carnivore diet -- is long and consistently very positive (Mixing my measures there, somewhat). Which is not to say the diet is without challenges. I believe a vegan diet can work for some - and all power to them. The many many individual reports - on the beneficial outcomes of the carnivore diet for weight, mood, autoimmune diseases and general health, in particular, are compelling, nonetheless. I believe we should all experiment and explore options. And this includes the ethical and health aspects of both carnivore and vegan.
yep, as a 35-year-old man, I confirm that the difference between 25 and 35 feels very significant. But it doesn't mean that we should give up and don't try to improve our health. Physical activity, a healthy diet, and supplements can help to some extent.
I think the best question that could be asked is this: what is the proper human diet? In my opinion, if eating vegan gives me bloat, and fills my body with inflammation, and gives me diabetes, lowers my testosterone levels, then it can’t be proper. On the other hand, swapping to carnivore gives me ungodly amounts of energy, no brain fog, no diabetes, no bloat, not digestion problems at all, I’m more inclined to believe it to be the proper diet for me. No animal is more important than me- or you.
Thank you. Like you, I don’t consider my crow’s feet worth the harm to the ecology or the animals themselves. I’m just not that important. On another note. You look young and lovely.
Not that it matters much in this context, but I always thought Swayze has nice skin (sorry if I sound like Hannibal Lector lol). As someone with eczema and hormonal acne at times, it's something I notice in others.
I switched from carnivore to plant based for ldl cholesterol levels .. I felt good on carnivore (90%) I feel just as good being plant based (95% … occasional fish to keep wife happy when going out). Prior to immersing myself in this diet BS I never felt diet made me feel good or bad … the carnivore did made me feel “fat” because I was … probably not carnivore fault .. more me just over eating … same easily happens plamt based. I was actually surprised how easily it is to put on weight on a whole food plant based diet .. I’m 66 .. run 10k/day, and do CrossFit 5d/week with EXCELLENT ldl cholesterol … however, if I had 1 day to live .. I’m getting a big Mac and a double dipped Dairy Queen cone.
Dr Greger wrote a book on "How not to age", so diet is related to aging. We are all aging but we can do it at a slower rate if we take care of ourselves, diet being the main thing. You look great because you take care of yourself, otherwise you would be obese, your skin would look bad and you wouldn't have all your teeth. Of course that genetics are important but diet does count too! 😊
Something I cannot entirely agree is that a whole plant based diet doesn't help with health issues. In ,y case, it has solved most of those I used to have before, and I see many people saying the same in my groups. People who say you look 50 have no idea what 50 looks like. They're probably 12 themselves.
Whole plant based isn't necessarily vegan, others are junk food vegans. A whole food plant based diet will be better on average than any diet with lots of junk food.
Hey! I just listened to a podcast called search engine about what to do with feral/outdoor cats killing large amount of the bird population? Maybe this can be a video idea?
Domestic cats are technically an invasive species and often kill for "fun". It's why in many countries it is illegal to have your pet cat roaming outside.
You look older than 10 years ago (just the jaw structure) but you still look like you're in your 20s. It is hilarious what carnists would say about people's looks.
Shawn Baker needs to be sued into oblivion for the provably (at least in a civil court) dangerous advice that he gives his followers. He is causing real harm, and he’s probably even killed someone by now.
So are people's arteries! Baker, Saladino, Mason, Chaffee, Ovadia, Berry, et al should be sued by their victims for given such advice, and I think one day they will. (I've heard the term information pollution bandied about. I think some Korean tech CEO coined the term in 2002.)@@Corilo91
I don’t subscribe to any YT videos, but do see a fair number of the Baker ones. the him eating steak series is .. rare. but those are intended to be very short blips. to .. actually be an interesting discussion point. / the bulk are longer, and offer significant talking / discussions in the comments / bringing up studies that often affect health in all kinds of capacities / all food myths are fair game, the goal is health, not ideology. / many diets around the globe, but the common flaw is anything processed, and .. oxalates can be very damaging in particular.
I’m VERY curious on your thoughts on Dr Ede’s research! She is a nutritional psychiatrist and her work is very interesting. She isn’t pro any diet but does state that the brain needs some animal nutrients.
You keep saying carnivore is a horrible diet. How come? Because nature eats nature and it's uncomfortable to think of it? Asking as an omni. It seems many people feel better mentally and physically. A fasting carnivore will always have a more optimal and balanced brain. This helps mental fatigue, and metabolic disease which is a huge issue for most people.
The question is for me -which diet is un the need to supplement to survive and to compensate for essentially needing elements to continue cells life. The carnovore based people does not have to supplement carnitine, b 12 , e t c . The vegan, in another hand ,HAVE to supplement the way if eating. Thus, my choice heavy meat base diet
@@worldpiece2023 never claimed otherwise. Still it feels like pretty much all carnivores take them. Which isn't a problem, because the question you dodged still stands: what is wrong with supplementing?
@@chimp09 if you have to take supplements , your diet Lucks something essential. Isn’t it? By default this diet deprives building blocks to survive and sustain life. It shouldn’t be the case if you eat proper to human foods. It should be complete and make one to live and thrive with no external elements needed to supply it.
@@chimp09 I’m looking for my respond to your last question. I posted and it’s not there. So I’m answering again. My reservation on supplementation on your diet. If you have to supplement anything it’s clear that your diet is lucking essentials to live, to build new cells, to thrive. Are our ancestors needed chemicals to add to their diet to live? Really? No! They ate by hunting , then there is a periodic hunger, occasionally, at summer they would eat fruits, plants. But, mostly they are consumed animal based foods.Supplementing it’s like trying to fool our bodies into believe that it’s a machine some sort. It’s not, it’s a pure set of genes, ingraved in us to perform the best in different circumstances . We are omnivores, we can live eating plants only, but to thrive biologically, we need all essential from protein from animals. If that would not true, we would have preserve secum like in gorilla’s 4 feet strong to digest plants. We didn’t. Optimal diet does not need supplements
