- What is it about processed food that is unhealthy? Is it the red meat? To shed some light on this question, I went to the epitome of junk food, McDonalds and ate only the beef burger patties for 8 weeks. If the beef was the problem, it should make Super Size Me look healthy?!

Mountain Equipment certainly get their moneys worth with Dave. He managed to get the full spring/summer and autumn/winter collection for the last 5 years into this film.
I wonder when the last time is that Dave actually bought an item of clothing. I think I've never seen him in anything other than mountain equipment
And maybe it had an affect on me liking their products. You can give Dave a raise 😉
I love my echo softshell for example.
😂
Curious if there was a McDonalds sponsorship here too, seems so expensive to buy so many burgers for a month otherwise!
@Talia Page here in the USA single burger patty would probably cost about a dollar. 16 dollars a day on food seems pretty reasonable.
4 minutes in and I have to say, the production quality is like a tv documentary. 10/10
Man just burgers for 2 months, kuddos for sticking with that 😅 lack of variety sounds tough
Ok, but check this out. 100% on the real, I lost 110 lbs (265 to 155) eating McDonald's 3 to 4 times a day. Here's how. The mobile APP has d3als; buy 1 get 1 for .29 cents breakfast sandwiches, also buy 1 get 1 .29 cents dbl cheeseburgers.
I consume only 3 beverages on the regular. Water, black coffee, or Michelob Ultra.
I'd eat 1 brkfst sandwich right away, the other 3 hrs later. Get the dbl chsbrgrs at lunch and eat 1 then, one for dinner. Keep in mind, it's mostly water I drink during the day.
So basically, I was chasing calories, and ceilinged out at 1700.
Itresulted in another 110 lb loss.
bro completed climbing and now hes just messing about 😭
Every boulder is so easy for him😅
I actually love those kind of cross overs with climbing.
I like McDonald’s
What are you even talking about?
Maybe have a look at the last 24 videos on his channel, which are all purely about climbing...
@@masterpropper2485 bro took it serious ;(
Well that's a title and channel combination I did not expect to see LOL
Came to say the same!
If you follow Dave, and his diet journey, this was not a huge surprise.
6:00 Spot on, Dave. Anxiety and depression are definitely related to nutrition for me and they effect my climbing negatively even if I'm hitting my numeric weight and training goals. Your vlog on depression has been pretty instrumental in helping me change that for myself since you posted it and I can't thank you enough for that.
Amazing work as always Dave! The quality of production and the effort you have put into researching content for videos like this is truly awesome and greatly appreciated!
And also I can confirm that such a diet when getting on and off it for me at least works wonders for climbing.
@@TechnocraticBushman I can also confirm the same results are possible without meat, it is just a case of incorporating keto rules. Much more ethical that way too :)
@@SirPhytone is it more ethical though? The carbon cost of flying and shipping in all of the foods required to make that possible is huge.
@@christianvollenhoven Yes, I literally cannot see a case where it would not be more ethical.
1. 95% of animal products are factory farmed, so the meat industry is extremely unethical. And even if you farm your own animals, killing them for meat cannot be done in an ethical/humane way, unfortunately it is impossible.
2. Said animals also need to be fed plants, often that is imported soy. In fact the two biggest reasons for rainforest deforestation is soy for animal feed and cattle farming!
3. Look up the land use per kCalories of food, takes 100x the land to have beef over potatoes for example, or ~60x for nuts.
It's all very well to say it's not so bad to farm meat on a local farm and use the manure to fertilise crops etc, but the reality is with the current world population, it is only the very privileged who can do that. Not only are costs much much higher when meat is farmed in this way,, but there simply isn't enough space on the planet.
@@christianvollenhoven It has been shown time and again how, even considering transportation, plant-based foods tend to have a smaller footprint than animal foods. Then again, one can eat mostly local plants and reduce their impact even further.
Love the longer format / kind of a documentary. I hope we will see more videos on the subject in the future.
Absolutely amazing video. Ended up watching it all in one sitting without realizing it lasted over an hour.
Dave, an absolutely brilliant documentary - really well researched, presented even better!
Dave - This is such a great vid. level headed personal experiment backed with external references and concise logic that does go against what is popular for active folks nowadays. i will likely rewatch a couple times - great work
Brilliant as usual Dave. It is so nice to have nutritional information from someone who genuinely has a selfless interest at heart and is not in it for any personal or financial gain. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
The clear reference indication on the video on the same time of your statements is a very clear and good way to give the audience info. Thank you for that. Shame it isn't used very often. Usually if someone has data to show they only mention it making it harder for a viewer to find the exact validating info if needed.
I would love to see you partner with some experts on a range of topics in this type of format, you are really good at explaining all these difficult and complex topics simply.
Great stuff mate!
Get a job on the television ! You are very good at it !
@@wilfwilliams definitely!
I agree, the way he explains things is very engaging.
Thank you Dave! The world (or RUclips at least) needs more long-form videos like this.
great video Dave! I love to see the data you have tracked over time. As a guy, in his mid 40's who also climbs, you have been a great source of knowledge over the years for my own personal fitness, health, climbing, and training journey. I appreciate what you do, and the modesty, honesty, and humility you project into the world.
subscribed because your video on shoulder separation helped me so much when i had the same injury. I love your intentional and well researched approach to all things! As another comment noted, content like this where the internet shines its brightest! keep up the great work!
I tend to binge on documentaries and this was far better than anything I've watched recently on Netflix and the like. Incredible production for just yourself, and avoiding being sensationalist or dogmatic. Where there is speculation you come back quickly and identify that. Calm, methodical, curious but cautious, and clearly structured. I think there's a real public health point to it as well. Being surrounded by fast food when you have limited time, e.g. office work or travel, makes it very hard for people who are susceptible to bad eating habits to actively manage their diet and break free from it. Just knowing that something like this is an option could help people with that, and then wean them off the allure of fast food altogether. Anyway, I'm waffling... really enjoyed it :)
This video is incredibly interesting, thank you for showing all of the scientific studies and whatnot to support your speaking points. Really made it easy to follow and makes me want to look into it more. Cheers!
Dave, thanks for this type of content and all the work you do.
Good video. Well paced for such a long piece. Thanks for experimenting, lots to ruminate on.
Superb video once again Dave. As a great climber, you make even greater content not talking about climbing (or very little). I love myth-busters, and your logical approach is such a relief from so much that is produced... The edit and structure are also great, a lot of work well done indeed. So thanks. Again.
It would be great to see you on a wide audience channel, such as TV. But yeah, that could ruin your climbing a wee bit. Still, I can see you one day as the 'Attenborough of public health' 😇.
One of the most interesting videos, amazing to post this to the climbing subset of people interested in nutrition. really eye-opening and grounded, thanks so much Dave.
Excellent video - this needs to be shown on all the news channels and spread far and wide
Unbelievably well done. Thanks Dave!
solid material Dave, super interesting. thanks for sharing!
loved every minute of this video has it has definitely has opened my viewpoint of this subject simply by the way you can easily transmit your knowledge!
Already have two other videos you mentioned about your experience on queue! cannot thank you enough for this.
Wow, you were amazingly clear, well thought out, and the information was very well articulated and presented! You made it easy to follow and understand! I am an instant fan!
Thank you & Cheers!
fantastic video. love these nutritional experiments and deep dives from you.
Truly excellent work as always! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Dave 🙏🏼
This video is so well put together, really nice job here! Got me invested and thinking about something that perviously I had little to no interest in, and could have a positive effect on my life, both physically and mentally... cheers!
One of the best short documentaries I've ever seen. I take my hat off to you Dave, well.
Even though this goes against my mostly vegetarian "ways", this is proper, well researched and articulate content. Amazing stuff!
adjust when you get new information. Vegetarianism is evolutionarily and metabolically illogical. Theres plenty of research
This was really interesting, thanks Dave. I love the longer format and the detailed information passed on. The fiber point was one I really was listening out for, was a good take and something I've felt for a while.
Thanks again, I really appreciate all the time taken to read, think and produce this epic vid
This is insanely thorough , thanks a million for this educational experience Dave !
I've been waiting on your results from this for a while! So interesting to hear your take on this 👍
Very informative and love your books 😁
always good quality content for years ! Thanks :)
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh finally this video is out! I was waiting for this one!!
You are such an inspiration Dave - well done and well laid out!
You're challenging what I think I know, that's top quality content. Thank you Dave.
I have a question for you if you don't mind, what blood type are?
Enjoyed this. thanks for the balanced debate presented here and the scientific references to back up some arguments that are put forward.
Incredible work Dave! Gonna have to stop at 20 minutes for today, it'll take me weeks to digest all this food for thought!
Thank you for yet another thoughtful and well researched contribution to a complicated topic. And thank you for keeping it complicated and not resorting to easy binary conclusions.
so well done and informative, thanks!
This was really well done and super interesting .really appreciate your efforts dave great study .
Cheers Dave, appreciate your effort making this film understandable and as far as i'm concerned, a non-biased look into the topic. Thoroughly enjoy your video content, and wish I climbed as hard as you do! ;)
I for one would be interested indeed in a video on the supplements you take - after a seemingly bombastic title, this was very thought provoking, thanks very much Dave!
Awesome video Dave!! Congratulations for the effort, and the capability of condensing all of your work in 1h 20`
I think the video goes deep in some aspects that are crucial in the way humanity is evolving It's not just only about eating beef pattys.....
Congrats again!!!!! Cheers
i love this approach to dieting and also training. Information is great, but the best way to see how YOUR body reacts, is to test it out. Bring an open mind and honestly access how you feel and perform. great video
Amazing work Dave! Massive thanks for putting all this effort and touching on so many different angles for this experiment.
I wonder for your max strength how much of a factor pure recovery was since you stopped training for specific finger strength.
Big hug from Mexico man =)
Just start by saying i never bother commenting on youtube videos....
But this has to be one of the most well structured videos ever ever seen, full of clean information the delivery is excellent. This is so easy to digest, all i have to say is kudos Dave you absolutely smashed this video Thank you very much.
Also great to find out you are a proficient climber, you have a new subscriber! Thanks again!
Proficient is an understatement!
Proficient 😂
The whole material is mindblowing to some point, I did not expect such results of blood tests ,congrats;D but from my point of view there’s much more important thing here. Frank discussion, supported by facts, and somehow trying to make the watcher/ listener THINK about reality. Thank you for this kind of narrative Dave, 100min of great material:), best!
Very well informed, very well presented, and very well produced. Amazing
Amazing video, very well documented and explained. Very educational, food for thought :)
Absolutely EXCELLENT video, Dave!!
First time watching your content as I was Googling some dietary info for some health issues I've been dealing with and keto, and I am soo glad I found your it!! I hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and as we are trained to look at the research literature, your approach is just phenomenal. Not just in looking at the literature, but in interpreting it in an intelligent, thoughtful, and integrative manner. My applause!! I'm in the same age range here in WA state and am working to get back to biking as I've always been a lover of the outdoors too! I look forward to looking at your other content, and will likely seek contact at some point as I navigate my health journey :-)
Cheers my friend!

Fantastic Video again Dave, incredibly thought-provoking - I've generally gone along with the view that a wide variety of food types, a colourful plate and not too much of anything is a fairly reliable rule of thumb for a healthy diet. It's really interesting to see that the opposite can also have positive impacts on health and fitness. Well done on the production quality and explaining these points in a clear and balanced way. Thanks very much.
Wow, superb research and analysis, thank you.
Thank you for providing this thoughtful and science supported perspective. I learned so much and addressed many misconceptions of mine.
im a medical student about to give a presentation tommorow about the dogmas in obesity in global health and am finding this so interesting i absolutely love the amout of research and the referenced papers and the use of pubmed as it is exacly what i am doing for my research , keep up the good work
Thanks for this Dave, really great stuff as always
I was incredibly impressed with this video. It combines three things I really value -- curiosity, iconoclasm, and rationality -- in a way you don't usually see, all brought together in an entertaining package. And it's really got me thinking. Cheers, mate, I'm a fan of the content.
Incredible work and dedication... Thank you!
This is one of the first videos of yours I've watched and I have to say it was fascinating. I've been vegetarian for about 7 years and while I'm not sure I can see that changing any time soon, this has given me a lot to think about in terms of other effects that we don't tend to think about.
are you serious? and what good points did you feel were made?
If you’re vegetarian this tells me you already possess strong food discipline. I think vegans and vegetarians make good carnivores because they’ve already learned to master their food intake. Going from SAD to carnivore is probably even more difficult.
Try it. Go carnivore for a month. You will thrive beyond all expectations.
@@justroberto5052 Just came back to watch this video again (I was notified by another reply!)
The main points were about how just because you're eating plants doesn't mean animals haven't died to grow them (is killing twenty mice and tens of thousands of insects better than killing a single cow or pig, if done humanely?), and you can't guarantee that the land is being managed sustainably. I'm still vegetarian for what it's worth.
I don't think these are actually good points.
Firstly, even grass-fed animals are typically fed crops (hay and silage, if not food crops outright as many are) - so many of the same issues with crop harvesting, tilling, etc, apply to animals.
Secondly, if you're going with anything other than pastured ruminants (cows + sheep), there's a huge amount of crops being grown to feed the animals. ie the overwhelming majority of pigs+chickens in the UK are factory farmed and fed soya etc. I can absolutely 100% guarantee you that none of these lives can be termed "humane" treatment.
Thirdly, the evidence on animal deaths in crop production is extremely mixed. Intuitively it may make sense that you're killing all the mice, but is it not rather more realistic that the mice might notice the massive farm machinery coming towards them, and temporarily move out of the way? Indeed this is what some evidence shows (I can dig up a paper if you like).
Fourthly, Dave generally likes to attribute as many negatives as possible to plant farming and as little as possible to animals. How many insects do cows kill?
Finally, it's worth considering how scalable the type of agriculture Dave's favouring here is (pastured ruminants, mainly cows). How many people do you think the UK can feed with pastured cows alone? Bear in mind we are already massively net importers of food, and typically pastured cows are among the most inefficient users of agricultural land, be it arable or not.

@@thenayancat8802exactly this, he definitely stawmanned the benefits to the environment for vegetables, I think just assuming everything is being done in a monoculture with nitrogen leeching crops
Thanks Dave, you are absolutely killing it. We are not worthy, great video.
Absolute legend, one of the best sources of general nutritional and training knowledge for climbers
This is one of the best videos on nutrition I've ever seen. Also, as a data scientist/statistician, I would like to give an appraisal of your clear and well articulated understanding of data and statistics. Well done!
Great documentary, well researched and a sound reasoning, 10/10!
Pretty interesting video Dave! Thanks for sharing your true opinion with us!
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this
Fantastic Dave, we need more of this :)
Fantastic video. You explained all my thoughts but far more eloquently, when I speak to people they just think I'm mad, now I can point them to your video...
A solid effort with this experiment. Superb quality in video production and your s/m updates. A very interesting and complicated subject which you have skilfully articulated to the audience. I know you took some flak when you announced this, however the way you responded to any negativity has been very impressive. Thanks 👍💪
What an outstanding informative video. I wanted to drop a like multiple times while watching.
Brilliant and refreshing! I've been keto/carnivore for years to manage anxiety, so I've really been looking forward to watching this video! :) Thank you for articulating this (frustratingly contentious) subject so thoughtfully.
Charlie is soon to be on the menu
Thank you from Spain bro, really Interesting topic and too much academic info haha, thabks!!
keep doing your great work, we love you dave!
Brilliant annalysis, thanks for eveything you do 😊
Outstanding work Dave, as always.
Excellent work Dave, thank you for taking the time and trouble to do this. It would be great to see you as a guest of other pioneers in this field such as Aseem Malhotra, Ivor Cummings or from a sports performance angle, Inigo San Milan. Keep up the great work👍
Thank you Dave - as always, balanced and detailed without being sensationalist. A great description of the/a scientific approach and the socio economic comment about the exploitation of our more challenged communities is excellently put together!
thank you for this Dave!
This isn't what I was expecting when I clicked on the video but I'm glad I've spent this time listening to a well organized rock climber talk about different topics related to nutrition and ethics and more
Dave: thanks for taking the time to think and talk in this way.
Thank you so much for your amazing content, you are a true inspiration.
Brilliant, thanks Dave! Amazing detail, very refreshing. Thanks for providing references and addressing environmental concerns. Regarding your suggestion of a video on which supplements you take, yes please!
Doing the important work here! Thank you!!!
Thank you for a great video and nice piece of advice
This was such a high quality video and came at a time when I've practically reintroduced red meat into my diet only incidentally and noticed a jump in some of my own climbing performance, but didn't think they had anything to do with each other. I'll have to monitor it and make an effort to try to recognise any differences in performance surrounding my diet as I continue to consume some more red meat than I have been previously. Thanks very much for the huge amount of effort that you put into this and your other videos.
Thanks Dave, class video!
Loved this video Dave. I don't know what's correct, but I enjoy the discussion
Awesome video, very informative and certainly gave me food for thought on what I eat and what I feed my family. Very true about what you say regarding 'extreme' diets - the internet people are quick to judge and vilify anyone that strays from the resultant societal norms that we find ourselves faced with, yet do not question how and why we got to this point. Much respect for following through with this. Keep doing what you are doing, for one, you have my support.
Daphne reloaded sent me here, loved this , very interesting and strength gains amazing ..
Fascinating, thanks Dave
I'm loving it (this video)!
I really enjoyed the video! It was great to hear someone discussing diet and sustainability from a scientifically grounded perspective without pushing any specific ideology. It's motivated me to take a closer look at my own dietary habits and try to make positive changes. I'm not necessarily going to follow a specific “extreme” diet, but I am focused on improving my overall eating habits based on what the scientific research states. Thanks so much for sharing your insights, and please keep up the great work!
I have so much respect for this Dave !
Great video, well researched.
Thanks for this Dave!
Brilliant, highly informative video Dave! I am really curious though, about what effect your diet growing up might have had on all of this. Not just your propensity to thrive on keto/carnivore diet, but also struggles with depression etc. I seem to remember from your long video on a keto diet for athletes, you talked about your diet at school, sugary donuts and Irn-Bru for lunch every day I think it was (?). If you had had a healthier diet growing up do you think you might now do better on a mixed diet? Be less prone to easily gain weight etc? Anyway, thanks again!
Do you film and edit everything yourself? It's such good work it feels like there's a team behind your videos.
Thanks, yes all filmed and edited by myself.
@@climbermacleod Incredible effort!
Love the way you think Dave. You are clearly an academic at heart; sharp-minded and insightful. It is a pity that you haven't got a large research grant and network of collaborators to help you test some of your hypotheses properly. I enjoyed your highlights from the literature and was shocked but not surprised by the statistic that 60% of calories eaten by Americans came from flour, vegetable oil and sugar. Personally I'd love to give the keto diet a proper go, but the first time I tried it for a couple of weeks the adaptation proved difficult for me. I need to find a period of time when I am not too busy and can do it justice.
