    Saladino is in the position where he surfs for hours every day, works out (obviously) at a level virtually nobody with a day job and normal life can. He burns through that extra glukose like a maniac. That is not translatable for 99% of us.

      Despite his reversal on the topic, his book was eye-opening for me. It wasn’t that he what he was writing was authoritative, but it was something that I had never heard before and pushed me to research further through other sources. As a vegetarian, the book made me question everything I thought I knew about health, nutrition, and metabolic function. It also gave me enough of a framework to integrate complementary research and views from other researcher physicians like Dr. Stephen Phinney, Jason Fung, and a host of other low carb high fat ketogenic proponents

    There are several problems with Saladino's comments: First, I don't know that he has ever done any significant clinical practice with people with broken (or in the process of breaking) metabolisms. I could be wrong, but I have never heard him say that he has ever worked in a weight loss or other type of clinic for people with serious health issues (obviously he would have had some types of clinical experience in medical training, but that was before his carnivore life). Everything he seems to focus on is his personal experience and then develops his views around that. Secondly, I have always felt that he cherry-picks his studies, and I think Dr. Westman shows that here. Third, he lives a very active lifestyle in a tropical country. He surfs 4 hours a day and lifts weights or something crazy like that. His experience cannot be replicated in most people who would want to change their way of eating and get healthier. Finally, he is inconsistent. He talks about his experience with a mostly meat-eating tribe in Africa and how they loved it when he was with them when they found a wild beehive and its honey. And then he says because they were excited to eat it on that one occasion, that it must be good to eat that everyday. That tribe are primarily meat eaters who enjoy an occasional wild honey find, and then for him to expand that to we need to eat this everyday is inconsistent (and intellectually dishonest). I think he does the same thing with fruits. He used to talk about eating some fruits when they were seasonally available was fine, to him now living in a tropical climate and eating them everyday. How about the vast numbers of people who have traditionally lived in areas with no fruit available most of the year until the modern era? He has made personal choices of eating, lifestyle, and location and want to then justify those medically and scientifically.

      I’ve checked all these experts out, from Dr Berg on keto to Dr Baker and Chaffee on carnivore. Saladino has a big following because he’s charismatic but he’s flip flopping a lot now.
      I decided to eat a high meat based keto diet. Like 90-95% keto with great results. I believe that’s what our hunter gatherer ancestors ate. 90% from the hunt 5-10 gathered food. Obese to a six pack, but of course I exercised too.

    • @T-aka-T
      @T-aka-T 9 месяцев назад +18

      Beautifully observed. I'd just add a couple of other things. First, he isn't a woman, and there are female hormonal differences that matter. (I just mean that in his extrapolation/universalising from his N=1 he misses important stuff that is relevant to half of humanity.)
      Second, he was a vegetarian before he went carnivore then took up fruit/honey, each in an "all in" way. I'm not saying "don't change your views (we have all done that), but he seems very reductively black-and-white. Many words that DO apply to the gentlemanly Dr W don't spring to mind to describe Saladino. "measured", "considerate", "modest", "careful", "reasonable", "open", "gentle" and "likeable".
      Finally, his high-speed urging and babbling at length, on complex ideas is hard on the viewer. I appreciate the depth of info but frankly I don't trust him. He is too wedded to his own current but changeable viewpoint. Oh, and the supplements.
      I just had a wicked, uncharitable thought. He says he has evolved. I think he is devolving into a Pokemon Primeape. 🤭

      Not only that, but I cannot find any scientific studies that Saladino has done. His analysis of these various studies is laughable. He reads only the researchers conclusions, never actually analyzes the raw data, ignores some of the statements of the researchers (like the A1c test DOES NOT pick up fructose glycation). He should stick to psychiatry and stop dispensing nutrition advice.

    for me, the gym causes more cortisol movement than eating carbs. I've used the Cortisol test strips and now I train with more rest days. What makes a huge difference in me is whenever I add carbs into my day, after bread I feel slow and less agile, my bowel movement is sticky and mushy, honey excites my carb cravings and makes me thought ruminate on other sweet things and then thinking about beer and alcohol creeps back in. Fruit simply makes me put on weight, really fast.

Also, the used books will always be for sale.) However, you can tell the publisher to not make any more books, or you could make a decision to give all royalties to a nonprofit or charity to make "amends" for writing a book on the carnivore diet---if he was that concerned about it.

      A strictly carnivorous diet is often not the optimal approach to keto for most people, as it can be too extreme. The perspective of individuals like Saladino, who frequently advocate for such extreme dietary measures, can be compared to a weatherman always predicting extreme scenarios. It's important to remember that even cats, known carnivores, consume grass. Humans, in contrast, are omnivorous scavengers. Our stomach acidity is lower than that of a true carnivore, aligning more with the acidity levels found in scavengers. This is typical for omnivores, like bears, who also exhibit scavenging behavior. Therefore, a balanced keto diet that includes very low-carb plant-based foods, in addition to animal products, is more in line with our natural dietary physiology.
      It's advisable to avoid consuming high-sugar fruits, as suggested by Saladino. Historically, the 'sugar bombs' we see in today's fruits didn't exist; they have been selectively bred.

He has never stuck to a single construct in the years since and from what I hear years before that. He needs to give everyone who purchased his book a refund. I stopped listening to him long ago and pity those who still follow him. I do enjoy Bart Kay ripping him a new one every chance he gets and this video. This needs to happen as he is a danger to anyone in metabolic dire straits. He cherry picks vastly flawed studies to prove his extremely flawed n=1 ideology. In his words tens of millions of people doing low carb Keto/Ketovore/carnivore diets are wrong and he’s right.

There are many like this on RUclips, unfortunately. It is also unfortunate that in recent times, RUclips has sought to take down channels that are fully cognisant of the latest scientific research that identifies the causes of the many health issues the general populace endures, but those discussions go against the food or pharmaceutical lobby groups that would prefer to keep people unhealthy.

      You've got that backwards. Foods like red meat, but also chicken, eggs and saturated animal fats significantly speed up aging.
      A recent longevity study has measured this once again. It's objectively true.
      As for glycation, almost all healthy plant foods (vegetables, legumes, fruit, complex carbs/starches ...) are 100s to 1000s of times lower in AGEs (advanced glycation end products) than most meats, eggs, cheeses.
      Butter contains 3x more AGEs than peanut butter, 3-4x more AGEs than margerine and 16x more than avocados.
      A beef steak fried without oil contains 16x more AGEs than the worst "soy burger" fried with olive oil (and over 50x worse compared to best case vegan burgers)!
      Chicken is similarly bad but can be up to 2x worse with skin.
      Bacon fried without oil is like 13x worse than steak.
      So bacon fried without oil is 208x worse compared to the worst soy burger fried with oil.
      Several cheeses are comparable to the steak in AGEs. Some types are better, some are worse.
      Fried eggs are not great either, still about half as bad as the steak. Compared to toasted bagels fried eggs are over 50x higher and compared to white bread fried eggs are 90x higher in AGEs.
      Heck, fried eggs are on par with the worst fatty potato chips you can find.

      Additionally, when you live off a keto diet then your body needs to produce almost all the glucose itself through a complicated and not so healthy process (it's a trade-off against starving).
      What blind keto followers don't realize is that this process involves conversion to fructose phosphate first.

      this is a near undeniable fact that i wish more people would acknowledge. The question is not whether low carb raises cortisol. The question is whether that cortisol remains high longterm. To that i don't know, but if cortisol is raised to convert fat/protein to glucose, then what changes in longterm carb restriction that makes it no longer raise cortisol?
      Longterm adrenaline/cortisol flooding can lead to downregulated/desensitized receptors, meaning when you finally go back to carbs and begin to lower that cortisol you'll get tired and foggy and inflammation will come back (cortisol is body's main anti-inflammatory) which actually maps pretty well onto the experience of people trying to come off keto ( or any of it's varients).

He was eating FAR too much organ meats, which would have upset his thyroid (copper toxicity) and screwed up his electrolyte balance. He then tried to compensate by adding in carbs. He was also convinced that honey was good because 'the Hadza ate it all the time'. I guess it never occurred to him that he was a guest, and maybe they were honoring him by giving him special food (as a treat) that they DIDN'T eat all of the time. Also, Saladino's analysis of studies is woefully inadequate, He should stay in his lane and stick to psychiatry. I worry for all the people who are following his poor advice.

    Now.. i understand where everyone is coming from but i really do feel this is very different for every person.. i tried carnivore and high fat for months and it did really well at the beginning but i under ate alot and started wasting away muscle mass while working out. I genuinely wasnt hungry.. so i did eventually add berries, honey and some fruit and it seems to have really worked for me personally. I wish i could do full blown carnivore but my body just doesnt cope well. I wish everyone a safe journey on their keto, carnivore and animal based diets

      It’s possible that you were under eating protein as you were focusing more on the higher fat version of carnivore. Even the O.G “regular” carnivore diet at 60/40 - 70/30 (fat/protein ratio) is considered a “high fat diet” in comparison to the SAD of low fat/high carbs(sugar) diet. I know that for most people, especially women with a history of protein deficiency, initially the high fat carnivore is great, but then I think that moving into a higher protein basic carnivore may be better long term. Of course there may be times where more fat is better, such as continued high stress situations (prolonged illness, death of a loved one, long working hours, etc) even seasonal changes, such as going from Summer to Fall/Winter, basically for short periods of adjustment. And of course, everyone has to take their physical activity levels into consideration as well 😊

My last blood work was that of someone on keto or carnivore, and I am sure I fall into ketosis often, I also do not eat at least 12 to 14 hours each day.

      This is really puzzling because, had you said you'd been on keto and it didn't work, there would be many possible reasons; on carnivore... It's a species-specific and species-appropriate framework (thnx, Prof Bart!); a fundamental (but very rare, thankfully) problem would be having histamine issues. You wouldn't have lasted for months, though. Another possible reason could be not enough protein (you say you wasted away muscle mass). If there had been some health issues, carbs wouldn't have fixed it anyway. Ironically, couch potatoes are lucky to be able to keto-adapt much faster, whereas athletes take longer - maybe you rushed through things, not giving your body enough time to transition?

    I began carnivore for health reasons, not weight loss. I felt calmer but lousy, so added fruit. I slept better and felt better and rarely have palpitations now. I think either diet is an improvement and the no carb diet is for people with weight issues or possibly several other health problems. Weight is not an issue for me so the addition of fruit makes me feel like I am thriving. I have no problems sticking to this diet and I do not miss the vegetables. Personally I don't feel I could stick to straight carnivore and I would miss fruit. If I had been overweight and found I could keep the weight off with carnivore or keto I would probably be happy with it.
    I think there is room for both types of diets.

    You know Dr. Westman, you might not possess the same level of skill in attracting an audience like Paul Saladino for example. He has over 500k loyal subscribers that he gained through his great advice to eat more meat and ditch the vegetables. That was great advice. But unfortunately, people trusted him so much that if he says something is bad, or changed his mind about something, all will follow blindly, let alone him referencing "studies". I'm one of the people who started strict carnivore and lost 40 pounds in 2 months, healed all my inflammation and other health issues and I felt great. Then I saw Paul's video about incorporating fruit and honey in your diet so I started making strawberry, heavy whipping cream, yogurt and honey shakes. My weight-loss stalled and my energy levels at the gym stalled as well, and if this was the case with me, It would be safe to say that hundreds or thousands of others have gone the same rout as I have.
    Your character is more chill and balanced. You're intelligent but you don't speak with the same confidence level and hype as him, but you're more accurate than him. obviously!!! The sad thing is that people like to get hyped up. He speaks with passion and makes you feel that he possesses the absolute truth. You on the other hand, because you're more intelligent, in my opinion, lay down the facts but seldom claim you have absolute truth or knowledge, you do, but seldom.

    • @xnoreq
      @xnoreq 8 месяцев назад

      No, we don't. That's a fallacious argument.
      Ketosis is engaged when the body is starving. The brain uses ketone bodies when you're starved of oxygen.
      This causes more oxidative stress and produces toxic byproducts compared to a normal (balanced diet with carbs) metabolism. It's not healthy. It's a tradeoff: a bit of extra damage is still better than starving.
      To your argument about babies: breast milk contains like 40% carbs, 10% protein and the rest is fat. Babies are not in a mild* ketosis because of the diet but because their metabolism is adjusting to receiving food through their mouth.
      *) It is estimated that only about 25% of a baby's energy requirements are met by ketone bodies, hence only "mild" ketosis.
      Carbs play a very important role in a baby's normal development. Babies are not on a ketogenic diet.

      What they never tell you is that most weight loss on keto is from losing lean body mass, not from losing fat.
      And almost all body fat comes from dietary fat. Studies have also shown that body fat loss actually slows down on a ketogenic diet, because when you eat a lot of fat the body will use that instead, even if your insulin levels are kept low (which is also unhealthy btw).
      Keto is not a sustainable diet. Some people notice the negative health effects already after a few months, others struggle for years and end up at a GP's office with permanent damage.
