I lost 30 pounds without decreasing carbs, simply by eating the right kids of carbs (mostly legumes, vegetables, and fruits), on a plant-dominant diet with very high consumption of vegetables. For example, I consume 225-250 grams of carbs a day, but 75 grams are fiber, so net carbs are 150-175. I eat an avocado a day and nuts and seeds, so once all effects are accounted for, my diet is roughly ~40% carbs, ~20% protein, ~40% good fats (mostly plant sources, non-saturated fat). So this is not a carb-restricted diet, perhaps just slight carb moderation aided by the high fiber and relatively high consumption of good fats. I find this diet to be highly nutritious (meeting RDA for all vitamins and minerals), sustainable (have been doing it for 2 years and the weight is still off) and highly palatable for me since I love legumes and vegetables. I used to love meat, but after 6 weeks on this diet, my palate changed and I don't crave animal protein. I do have oily fish 3-4 times per week for the Omega 3 content. This has worked really well for me, taking my BMI from 31 to 27 in two years, so this is still work in progress but I find this approach sustainable for me. I also eat in a 10-12 hour window.
Decades ago I heard the phrase "After lunch, rest a while. After dinner, walk a mile". Now we know the reasoning behind that. I don't have much insulin resistance, but still, I like to do an easy 10 - 15 minutes walking after dinner. I just do it in the corridor of my apartment building.
I don't recall the study, it may have been small, but it said a daily 5 minute postprandial dinner walk was more effective at lowering A1C than walking 15 minutes in the AM.
I am an endocrinologist from india...i find all your discussions wonderful. Great work. But i find most of them fall short of giving clear cut message for general public except for professor Christopher Gardner
Simon a day ago I ended up having conversation about metabolic health and mainly lipids with a cardiologist and a family doctor. Both of them started the conversation with me looking from high above saying “here another podcast lover”. I gotta say I felt so gunned up with all the knowledge from your podcasts (also from Nutrition made simple, Layne and plant chompers) that it didn’t take more than 4 minutes for them to realise that they have reconsider their view 😂
4 years ago I got diagnosed with sarcoidosis in my lymph nodes near my lungs. After 9 months on steroids and many more months on pain killers for residual reactive arthritis, the one that has had the biggest impact at reducing my reactive arthritis symptoms is diet. I only worked this out end 2023. When I eat sugary foods, (or get sick) my symptoms worsen. Needless to say I have altered my diet significantly, much more plants, less animals, less sugars. This has had such a profound impact I wish my specialist knew how much of an impact diet had. I would have implemented this years ago.
Around minute 2:40 Simon agreed with the other two that a very high carb diet could be unhealthy because it would push out fats and protein... but as long as legumes, avocados and nuts remain to be plant foods, we do not need to be unhealthy and short-changed of protein and fats with very high carb wfpb diets.
If we just stopped using terms like carbs, fat and protein and talked about actual real food vs processed food like substances people would have an easier time understanding 😊
I found I could lower my LDL via diet alone by about 30 points *for 3 months* and then my motivation and adherence began to slip. One word: cheese.This experience gives me a lot of sympathy for people who struggle with dieting, who decide to use glp1 meds or get surgery, and who walk away from dieting. I thought that since I wasn't restricting calories, the diet change would be easier to stick with. Sigh. I'm on two meds for the lipids. Definitely work the behavioral side of things, along with your brilliant and clear strategy. (Fiber and exercise come naturally to me. I'll give tracking protein a go. Tofu and sardines are my shortcuts.)
@TheProofWithSimonHill When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. With your educational approach and inspirational lifestyle, I have lost about 10% of my body weight (mostly fat) going whole-food plant-based. More recently, I added more polyunsaturated fats (again, after your recent episodes). I will be getting a blood test soon to measure my health markers (using your free guide). I believe it will go well, as I feel better than I have felt for a few years. I find myself listening to you more than any other. I grow weary of the "noise" from other podcasts. Thank you for believing people can improve their lifestyle and providing the information needed, something I haven't received from my medical docs or elsewhere. 🤗🤗🤗

In the UK, there's a restaurant chain with a decent salad bar, offered free with a meal or as a main for £6.99. However, most people take only small portions in tiny bowls and opt for fried meat, onion rings, chips, and similar options instead. It's disheartening to see the poor quality of food in restaurants, hospitals, and care homes. Despite efforts to promote healthy eating and exercise, the message doesn't seem to be driving real change. If the government doesn’t take stronger action, the health crisis we see in the USA will-or already is-becoming a reality here.
I have worked with individuals with eating disorders, obesity, etc for many years. There are ways to overcome “food noise” without the use of GLP-agonists. Assuming that people need dietary interventions similar to the Minnesota project is absurd. Many obese individuals can navigate this without that drug. It takes effort, but can readily be done.
@@marleri exercise helped me a lot. Going to 6 days a week and at least 30 minutes of mixed strength and cardio. I think it was primarily insulin resistance for me. I implemented exercise then later adjusted my diet away from processed foods and added more beans and legumes. junk food still tastes good but I'm a lot better at moderating it and I don't constantly think about my next meal anymore....hope you find help with it
2:26:51 nice segment by Maki on calories burned or the forms of energy expenditure, protein thermogenesis, lean mass increasing energy expenditure. - u don't want to eat very high carb, cuz de novo lipogenesis is a thing, overloading the pancreas is a thing [in terms of insulin production and risk of diabetes]. 2:17:15 c15 and c17. Maki doesn't recommend supplementation as of now cuz we don't have much evidence, however he says "the recommended 3 servings of dairy a day" [which is a guideline i didn't know of]. he also says he used to recommend low fat or fat free dairy, but now his view is that full fat dairy is ok. the lady mentions that we don't yet know if c15 supplements are as good as full fat dairy, cuz they are in isolated form. 2:14:00 Maki's take on dairy fat. 2:12:51 Maki approves whole grain bread. 2:10:23 fermented dairy like cheese may lower cholesterol compared to other high saturated fat foods. 2:04:08 protein seems to improve the lipid profile, especially plant protein, independently of soy's isoflavones or soluble fiber sequestering bile's cholesterol. so apparently soy isolate doesn't sequester bile cholesterol. 2:03:38 protein Quality may also matter to control appetite [like the amino acid profile i guess], but u can combine plant protein sources to have good protein quality. 1:58:17 studies show that protein, fiber and exercise, all 3 lead to more weight loss (although the effect of protein is small), hence why his 30-30-30 approach and upcoming study (at least 30g of protein per meal, at least 30g of fiber per day, and at least 30 minutes of exercise per day). 1:53:00 we probably evolved to eat high-fiber high-protein diets. eating slowly can also give ur body time to feel satiated. 1:46:50 how viscous fiber lowers cholesterol levels. 1:45:54 if u eat fermentable fiber in the evening, you'll have more insulin sensitivity the next morning. 1:00:56 exercise improves insulin sensitivity for 24-48h. 44:25 interesting chapter. Maki says triglycerides are transported via VLDL particles [not LDL particles as Simon previously said in other videos]. Maki also gives an example of how diabetes develops. - idk the timestamp but Maki joked about having a tattoo that said "whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and non-tropical oils". heh, those are indeed the healthy food groups or categories, although i would add "and a few supplements", that is b12, a multivitamin, choline, algae oil, and conditionally vitamin D.
NICE JOB SIMON!!! Keep up the great work. Lot of awesome gems of knowledge in this one. PS... did you get to hangout with Nemai and Simnett during their last visit to LA with the Vedge crew?
Crazy that 30 grams of fibre is a struggle for most people, those of us on wfpb average at least that for every thousand calories consumed! I average 70 grams a day and only eat 2000 calories a day
there are recipes online for cultured cashew cheese (see zerowastechef) but gets labor intensive. Most the fermented plant cheeses I see in the stores unfortunately contain coconut oil. I bought a soy milk maker and have an instant pot and make my own soy milk and yogurt in those appliances. Its not too much extra work when you get in the flow. You can also buy starter cultures for kefir and works great in soy milk (have not tried in any other plant milk).
Simon, I can’t be the only one struggling to lose weight! I heard Normotim could help with cravings and keeping your mood steady. Has anyone seen results with it?
@suzanneemerson2625 lol I knew that. What I meant is that regular table salt that is bleached and processed is poison. However our bodies need salt and the minerals in it is good. That's what I'm talking about.

WebMD How does pioglitazone work (mechanism of action)? Pioglitazone increases insulin sensitivity (how your body responds to your own insulin). This helps your body use sugar as an energy source.

Pioglitazone is available as Actos and generic pioglitazone in the following dosage forms that are taken by mouth.
