Hi there, father of three! I have just joined your channel and wow! I am on a health jorney, and resetting my body memory via keto…..was looking to introduce carbs now I have hit my target weight and like you say my relationship with food moving forward will be about sustainability! Looking forward to more of your content
prolonged keto diet is actually detrimental to a persons health, so while its a positive thing that people are eating less of the wrong carbohydrates, it's incredibly dangerous to go to the extreme of entering ketosis.
Very good distinction. Your guide works 9/10 times. The next, finer level of looking at this could be as follows: 1) figuring out the carbs that work best for your body (through experimentation and awareness) 2) also selecting carbs that are lower in anti-nutrients like lectins/phytic acid (this is an argument for choosing something like long-grain white rice over brown rice). But these are the weeds we're getting into here :-) Big picture you present is most important by far.
Favorite doodle poll taken by elementary schoolers in Japan had Broccoli and Seaweeds as children’s favorite food. Try in America you’d get Chips, Cheetos, Pizza just overall fattening foods
Amazing video, as always. I made my son an Ezekiel English muffin this morning with some grass-fed butter and cinnamon. He only ate half of it because it filled him up, and I didn’t feel guilty eating the other half even though it was a few hours before my first meal 🙏🏼
Thank you for this great information! I've been looking at videos that support a healthy diet (lifestyle). All of your options are great! Ive been wanting to try Ezekiel bread!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I've been leaning toward keto for the best way of eating but still included beans and potatoes in our diet. I buy ezekiel bread for the kids. I learned a lot from your video and realized I'm on par. Thank you!
Thank you for your time and video I eat sorghum and beans iam in Africa I guess those are what some would call wholefoods but they always say they're high in carbohydrates
Wow thank you so much. I am t2 diabetic and tried the Ozempic injections but I couldn’t tolerate it. It made me double over in stomach pain. I have been confused about Low carb or low fat. I have regained 8 pounds so far and am absolutely terrified. I think this will help. Thank you.
Im cutting out bad sugar from my diet but i've noticed a trend of starchy carbs being villainized, blamed for diabetes etc. They seem to include any potatoes including sweet potatoes, and brown rice or long grain. Is this based in truth do you think? I'm struggling to know what to eat, there is so much conflicting information.
Hey Curtis, thanks for writing in and great question! And you are right that carbs have been villainized recently but what's important to remember are that not all carbs are created equal. For example, the ones in this video are full of fiber, nutrients, and won't spike your blood sugar compared to their counterparts (i.e. sugar or empty carbs). Choosing healthy ones to help fuel your day and keep you satiated can, and should be, part of a healthy lifestyle. -The FFP Team
I keep hearing that complex carbs are better than simple carbs. However, I had an MGB with dual carbs that were a pain to synchronize. Better yet, no carbs. Thank God for fuel injectors.
Great video I live in japan and the Sweet potatoes (さつま芋)here are pretty great, I slice them up stick them in the microwave and nuke them, takes about 5 minutes quick easy to do with almost no preparation
Totally! And that's awesome you live in Japan. I've always wanted to visit. Many years ago, I read about the traditional Okinawans regularly live to 100yrs+ and crediting a lot of their longevity to a simple diet with lots of sweet potato, white rice fresh veggies, and some lean meats/fish as the basis of their diet. TY for your comment Nicholas!
Hi there thank you for this video I'm currently pre-diabetic a lot of doctors definitely do not encourage eating beans or sorghum in my condition but I have always asked myself this question sorghum is not a processed grain and our beans here are farmed using indigenous methods they are also organic I'm really confused because sorghum is considered to have a high glaecemic index and also being high in lectins apparently this is our staple food in Africa...some say millet is better I don't know the difference...but your video has me thinking about everything SAID BY DOCTORS

Can i just cook the beans in an open pot,instead of a pressure cooker ,and if i cook them this way am i getting rid of the lectins a as much as the pressure cooker?
Great question! You are reducing the lectins some, though not as much as a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker (or soaking them overnight before cooking them in an open pot) helps start the bean's sprouting process. This process is what helps decrease the anti-nutrients. Best of luck! -The FFP Team

Great content Dr, at least I do consume similar carbs you mentioned,but I get gas if I consume red kidney beans, what could be the reason? Thank you about long grain white rice I didn't know that,from South Africa 🇿🇦 Joburg South
I experience the same thing Cyril! Part of the gas comes from the fact that red kidney beans are rich in the type of fiber that gut bacteria ferment. That said... if you experience unusually high amounts of gas with red kidney beans vs. other kids... it's good to note that red kidney beans are VERY high in lectins (a type of anti-nutrient that can harm your gastrointestinal tract). I would suggest you soak your red kidney beans overnight with cold water before cooking (and ideally pressure cook or boil them which breaks down the lectins further). You can also heat/simmer your beans with kombu seaweed, which contains enzymes that break down gas-causing compounds in beans. This should make them easier to digest! Here's some info if you'd like to read up on lectins some more: www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/anti-nutrients/lectins/#:~:text=%5B6%5D%20Lectins%20are%20water%2D,disables%20the%20action%20of%20lectins.
You should have mentioned the EXTREME bloating some people (all people?) experience with Ezekiel bread. I had tremendous gas and bloating after eating just ONE slice of Ezekiel bread. I have been in awful pain for over one day! Also the bloating adversely affected some abdominal hernia meshes inserted about a year ago. For me, this bread is very dangerous, and I am throwing it out!
dont trust everything you see, quinoa is super high in lectins and can be harmful to people with bad intestinal lining, and he recommends it in this video. Try millet
Figure out your go to carbs… the ones that agree well with your body and you can eat mass quantity of (examples: basmati rice, sweet potato, quinoa, etc). You’ll want to cook this in bulk and have a large portion of these carbs with your main meals of the day. Focus on healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, grass fed butter… put that stuff on everything. It’s the easiest way to add calories with little food volume. You’re probably going to get 150-200g protein with your 4000 calories. Choose protein sources that also have natural fat (chicken thigh, salmon, 85% ground beef). These would be better options for you than super lean meats (chicken breast / turkey breast). If you tolerate dairy, drink organic full fat milk. Ideally goat’s milk… as it has unique casein proteins that are healthier for humans than cows. This will help bro! You can do this healthy.
Great question Brian! Bananas totally can be part of a healthy diet. The reason people tend to "pick on" bananas is that they have relatively fewer powerful vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals (say compared to wild berries)... relative to the amount of sugar they contain. 1 large banana has ~17g sugar... whereas 1 cup of raspberries has only 5g sugar. Overall: fruit can be a super good addition to your healthy meal plan... you just want to choose the most "bang for your buck" nutritional fruits. Bananas also have very little water (and lower fiber) content relative to some other fruits... so they are "dense"... and you could easily eat 3 bananas without necessarily having the same satiety as having much less of another fruit type. Interestingly too... as bananas are unripe (more green)... they have a SUPER BENEFICIAL type of fiber in them that feeds healthy gut bacteria. Green tipped bananas are the BEST TIME to enjoy them for this special fiber they contain. As the banana ages to (and past) ripeness, that fiber gets fermented into sugars & sugar alcohols... and actually increases the sweetness of the banana. Here are times that bananas are great: -- Post exercise (for good carb refuel) -- Green tipped banana anytime for a snack for the powerful fiber. Probably more info than you bargained for lol. This nutrition stuff gets pretty nuanced when we get into the details of specific foods. I hope this helps :-) -Dr. A
One of the most enduring myths about carbohydrates is that they are “essential” in the diet. Even the most basic biochemistry book will tell you that dietary carbohydrate is not an essential macronutrient, unlike protein and fat. As the Institute of Medicine (IOM) states year-after-year in their Dietary Reference Intake Manual: "The lower limit of dietary carbohydrate compatible with life apparently is zero, provided that adequate amounts of protein and fat are consumed." The key point is that you do not need to consume carbohydrates because your body can synthesize all the glucose your body needs to carry out the biological process of growth and metabolism. The liver is able to perform this function in a process known as gluconeogenesis.
Thanks for writing in and great points! While this is true, a lot of people still want to keep carbohydrates in their diet (for a variety of reasons). This video helps break down some of the healthier options if they choose to go that route. Thanks for posting this nugget and best of luck! -The FFP Team
I know a lot of people do great on carnivore. The big benefit there would be removing all the inflammatory carbs / grains and focusing on nutrient dense animal foods. I do think there is added benefit to having fiber. The fiber feeds your gut microbiome which product a lot of beneficial byproducts (like butyrate which decreases inflammation), the soluble fiber binds cholesterol… and the fiber containing veggies and fruits have a lot of other beneficial phytochemicals. Humans may not “need” fiber… but health is enhanced by having it in there.
the carbs themselves are literally the same. theyre all converted into glucose in the body. whats different is what surrounds the carbs. you cant say one carb is healthier than another, its all the same
You don't have to prove it through your research that carbs is not bad for us. I have already proven myself high carb is the way to go after trying keto, low carb and carnivore.
The right kinds of carbs can definitely be FANTASTIC FUEL for the body for most people. That said, everyone has a different metabolism / gut microbiome... and, as such, some people respond differently to certain nutrition setups (low carb vs high carb). Some people find they feel substantially better on low carb. Our Fit Father Meal Plan approach is balanced by design: Prioritize high quality proteins, plenty of healthy fats, and the right portions of clean, slow-burning carbs (more at certain times).
Sprouting does eliminate some anti nutrients. Organic does limit harmful pesticides like glyphosate. If you don’t tolerate wheat well, it’s not for you! I would suggest trying Einkorn as it’s a really special, ancient variety that gives many people health benefits.
Not all “wheat protein” is genetically similar or processed the same by our bodies. Modern, ultra hybridized wheat is VERY different and more complex genetically than an ancient wheat like Einkorn… which also contains gluten… but a far different type that is typically very well tolerated by people… and even people with “gluten sensitivity” eat it and feel fantastic.
This is the wrong information about white rice. White rice is full of starch and starch means sugar. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic (usually over 45) never consume rice. Also if you are young and have no health problem, it is better to reduce rice from your diet and replace it with something healthier.
Stop mixing things that have nothing to do with each other. This video is about nutrition. Stop being a keyboard activist. Your finger wagging is a half hearted effort in making a difference in the world. The hottest place in hell are for the lukewarm people.
For those in a hurry:
1) Organic berries
2) Ezekiel bread
3) Sweet potato/yams
4) Squash
5) Quinoa
6) Beans, legumes (pressure cooked)
7) Long grain white rice

Hi there, father of three! I have just joined your channel and wow!

prolonged keto diet is actually detrimental to a persons health, so while its a positive thing that people are eating less of the wrong carbohydrates, it's incredibly dangerous to go to the extreme of entering ketosis.
Good carbs: whole/intact, still have their water and fiber
Bad carbs: refined (natural water and fiber removed), added fat, added sugar

Hey Patti, thanks for writing in and great question! If you go Basmati, we recommend finding a long-grain variety as the blood sugar spike isn't as strong. Then in that case, it's a great and very tasty option!

Dr Anthony, what should i eat to lower my Protein A? which is extremely high. i’ve always been underweight. played sports s a kid and teenager but stopped at 20 (college, carreer etc) and people always thought i went to the gym everyday. For some reason i don’t get fat and the way i eat i should be 400 lbs but i’m only 100.
Hey IK, thanks for writing in and great question. Unfortunately, specific health questions are better conversations to be had with your physician. Only they know you and your situation best and can more accurately provide information regarding how to proceed. Thank you for your interest and best of luck moving forward!

Costco doesn’t sell Ezekiel bread anymore, would Dave’s Killer bread work?
Hey Carlos, thanks for writing in! We actually have a great breakdown for this very question. You can find it here: pulse.ly/wau6rnb4mh

Oats/wheat is top of the list for poor people in the Western world,rice in the Asian world and maize in the African world nature is a wonderful thing.
Why is white potato never mentioned? Its not prosessed and taste 50x better than sweet potatoes.
About rice how much carbs per 100 gram its not 40 gram bodey
Great content Dr, at least I do consume similar carbs you mentioned,but I get gas if I consume red kidney beans, what could be the reason? Thank you about long grain white rice I didn't know that,from South Africa 🇿🇦 Joburg South
I experience the same thing Cyril! Part of the gas comes from the fact that red kidney beans are rich in the type of fiber that gut bacteria ferment. That said... if you experience unusually high amounts of gas with red kidney beans vs. other kids... it's good to note that red kidney beans are VERY high in lectins (a type of anti-nutrient that can harm your gastrointestinal tract). I would suggest you soak your red kidney beans overnight with cold water before cooking (and ideally pressure cook or boil them which breaks down the lectins further).
You can also heat/simmer your beans with kombu seaweed, which contains enzymes that break down gas-causing compounds in beans. This should make them easier to digest!
Here's some info if you'd like to read up on lectins some more: www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/anti-nutrients/lectins/#:~:text=%5B6%5D%20Lectins%20are%20water%2D,disables%20the%20action%20of%20lectins.
@@Fitfatherproject thank you Dr.
You're very welcome 🙏
You should have mentioned the EXTREME bloating some people (all people?) experience with Ezekiel bread. I had tremendous gas and bloating after eating just ONE slice of Ezekiel bread. I have been in awful pain for over one day! Also the bloating adversely affected some abdominal hernia meshes inserted about a year ago.
For me, this bread is very dangerous, and I am throwing it out!
dont trust everything you see, quinoa is super high in lectins and can be harmful to people with bad intestinal lining, and he recommends it in this video. Try millet
Inferior genes
Try a different sprouted bread like daves killer
I need 4000 cals a day. How the bleep am I going to do that by eating healthy
Figure out your go to carbs… the ones that agree well with your body and you can eat mass quantity of (examples: basmati rice, sweet potato, quinoa, etc). You’ll want to cook this in bulk and have a large portion of these carbs with your main meals of the day.
Focus on healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, grass fed butter… put that stuff on everything. It’s the easiest way to add calories with little food volume.
You’re probably going to get 150-200g protein with your 4000 calories. Choose protein sources that also have natural fat (chicken thigh, salmon, 85% ground beef). These would be better options for you than super lean meats (chicken breast / turkey breast).
If you tolerate dairy, drink organic full fat milk. Ideally goat’s milk… as it has unique casein proteins that are healthier for humans than cows.
This will help bro! You can do this healthy.
@Fitfatherproject u r a good person and thank you for the info
Why pressure cooked beans?
To get rid of the lectins.
I don´t think white rice belongs in the healthiest carbs list. Not the worst carbs, but not the top best.
Gotta love me some Dave's killer bread (good seed)
👍
I got crohn disease and my breakfast is 100g of blue berry , 150 of strawberry , a banana and 50g of dates , my guts feel so much better since

Why do people say bananas are not good for diet?
Great question Brian! Bananas totally can be part of a healthy diet. The reason people tend to "pick on" bananas is that they have relatively fewer powerful vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals (say compared to wild berries)... relative to the amount of sugar they contain. 1 large banana has ~17g sugar... whereas 1 cup of raspberries has only 5g sugar. Overall: fruit can be a super good addition to your healthy meal plan... you just want to choose the most "bang for your buck" nutritional fruits. Bananas also have very little water (and lower fiber) content relative to some other fruits... so they are "dense"... and you could easily eat 3 bananas without necessarily having the same satiety as having much less of another fruit type.
Interestingly too... as bananas are unripe (more green)... they have a SUPER BENEFICIAL type of fiber in them that feeds healthy gut bacteria. Green tipped bananas are the BEST TIME to enjoy them for this special fiber they contain. As the banana ages to (and past) ripeness, that fiber gets fermented into sugars & sugar alcohols... and actually increases the sweetness of the banana.
Here are times that bananas are great:
-- Post exercise (for good carb refuel)
-- Green tipped banana anytime for a snack for the powerful fiber.
Probably more info than you bargained for lol. This nutrition stuff gets pretty nuanced when we get into the details of specific foods. I hope this helps :-)

One of the most enduring myths about carbohydrates is that they are “essential” in the diet. Even the most basic biochemistry book will tell you that dietary carbohydrate is not an essential macronutrient, unlike protein and fat.
As the Institute of Medicine (IOM) states year-after-year in their Dietary Reference Intake Manual: "The lower limit of dietary carbohydrate compatible with life apparently is zero, provided that adequate amounts of protein and fat are consumed."
The key point is that you do not need to consume carbohydrates because your body can synthesize all the glucose your body needs to carry out the biological process of growth and metabolism. The liver is able to perform this function in a process known as gluconeogenesis.
Thanks for writing in and great points! While this is true, a lot of people still want to keep carbohydrates in their diet (for a variety of reasons). This video helps break down some of the healthier options if they choose to go that route. Thanks for posting this nugget and best of luck!

Ive done carnivore in the past and i can honestly say we dont need fiber. We just crap it out
I know a lot of people do great on carnivore. The big benefit there would be removing all the inflammatory carbs / grains and focusing on nutrient dense animal foods. I do think there is added benefit to having fiber. The fiber feeds your gut microbiome which product a lot of beneficial byproducts (like butyrate which decreases inflammation), the soluble fiber binds cholesterol… and the fiber containing veggies and fruits have a lot of other beneficial phytochemicals. Humans may not “need” fiber… but health is enhanced by having it in there.
How about real sourdough bread???
Great option 👍
Can you have Ezekiel bread with Celiacs Disease?
No! Ezekiel still has gluten. Opt for a bread that’s organic and gluten free - ideally made from almond flower
No sugar is good for you, there are different kinds of sugars which some r better or worse for your health than others
the carbs themselves are literally the same. theyre all converted into glucose in the body. whats different is what surrounds the carbs. you cant say one carb is healthier than another, its all the same
You don't have to prove it through your research that carbs is not bad for us. I have already proven myself high carb is the way to go after trying keto, low carb and carnivore.
It's Raz beh ree. Not rasp berry. Omg that's killing me.
Some factual errors here. Also long grain white rice is a mid level GI.

Carbs are fuel for the body. At the start you say low carb is a good thing then say carbs are great. 🤔
The right kinds of carbs can definitely be FANTASTIC FUEL for the body for most people. That said, everyone has a different metabolism / gut microbiome... and, as such, some people respond differently to certain nutrition setups (low carb vs high carb). Some people find they feel substantially better on low carb.
Our Fit Father Meal Plan approach is balanced by design: Prioritize high quality proteins, plenty of healthy fats, and the right portions of clean, slow-burning carbs (more at certain times).
Ezekiel bread IS full OF SUGAR!!!
Ezekiel? Wheat is wheat whatever u do
Sprouting does eliminate some anti nutrients. Organic does limit harmful pesticides like glyphosate. If you don’t tolerate wheat well, it’s not for you! I would suggest trying Einkorn as it’s a really special, ancient variety that gives many people health benefits.
"Healthy carbs?" This has got to be a spoof. That is definitely an oxymoron. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
U can't destroy wheat protein no mater what u do
Not all “wheat protein” is genetically similar or processed the same by our bodies. Modern, ultra hybridized wheat is VERY different and more complex genetically than an ancient wheat like Einkorn… which also contains gluten… but a far different type that is typically very well tolerated by people… and even people with “gluten sensitivity” eat it and feel fantastic.
I looked up that Ezekiel bread. $24 for one loaf. Kiss my ass.
dont forget dates
how to have INFLAMMATION
All bread are carb dont eat
This is the wrong information about white rice. White rice is full of starch and starch means sugar. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic (usually over 45) never consume rice. Also if you are young and have no health problem, it is better to reduce rice from your diet and replace it with something healthier.
Humans don’t need carbs.
If they want to build muscle, thats way easier with carbs than without.
@@keemoify protein 👍 if you are trying to store fat, carbs/sugar

sorry, but there NO healthy carbs, go back to school.
