- Taking inspiration from the mid-Victorian era, this video provides a complete guide to nutrition and healthy eating to help you normalise your weight and prevent chronic disease. Loose weight, feel better, and you don't have to calorie count. I cover whole foods / minimally processed foods vs modern overly processed foods, alcohol, organic foods, time restricted eating, macronutrient and micronutrient balance, and what to do about carbohydrates (including low carb).

I’ve started eating a high protein, low carbohydrate diet since November. I have cut out processed foods and have replaced it with foods as close to nature as I can get them. I eat a lot of red meat and pasture-raised eggs as well. I have dropped 40 pounds and my A1C is back in the normal range. I haven’t felt this good in 25 years.
That is awesome, great work!
What’s A1C. ?
@@14caz68 Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is glycosylated haemoglobin - a blood test that measures how many sugar molecules have 'stuck' to the haemoglobin in your Red Blood Cells (RBCs) over their lifetime (around 120 days). It gives you an 'average' of the blood sugar (glucose) levels over the last 120 days. The result can diagnose, exclude and monitor diabetes. Hope that helps. I'm a retired medical doctor (GP) in the UK 🇬🇧
@@gdok6088 thank you.
@@gdok6088 But what does it stand for…? A 1 C = ___ ___ ___ ? 🥹
If you Grandmother/Great Grandmother would not have recognised it as food, don't eat it. A very simple but great rule to eat by. Also my mother had a saying that she learnt from her mother, always leave the dining table with room for some more.
Yes, and people need to remember that seed oils were not available in the Victorian era. I don’t know this until recently!
@PeaceIsYeshua seed oils were developed for industrial purposes. Then the oil industry supplied this product cheaper, which were by products. So they pushed seed oils into foods to keep their profits, and demonising animal fat for their profits .everything is a lie
I remember my grandfather telling me about a doctor he heard on the radio during a question time programme. Basically, someone rang up and asked how can they be sure these new artificial/processed foods are healthy for us. The doctors reply was simple. If unsure, stick to the natural foods we as a species have survived on for thousands of years.

That’s so cool. I heard too that some questioned the new vegetable oil shortenings, and instead, felt it was wise to stick with lard, butter, etc. I wish my grandparents had stuck with what they had always used!
I'm glad that I found your channel. I'm 50 pounds over weight, and you've given me hope, to loose the extra pounds. I've had depression a lot lately, due to the loss of one of my identical twin sons. Both heavy drinking alcoholics. And since my son died in Apr 2023, my other son, his twin brother drinks even more now. They are my only children, and the only thing and best thing I can do is pray for my son to sober up. Thank you for giving me direction to eating right and to do something positive, instead of crying. I do pray to Jesus and I'm a strong believer in my Christian faith. Jesus has been caring my heavy cross, but now it's time to start carrying the loss of my son now.
❤🙏🏻
God bless you sweet mother! You are added to my prayer list. As someone in a situation akin to yours, I can state that when I started walking most mornings, and started tracking my eating habits, I was less depressed, I also lost 30 pounds. Grief is important and sometimes almost debilitating, but we have to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I am so grateful that you pray for your sons-many people don’t. Don’t stop praying, that is your spiritual superpower! Jesus loves you & your family!
@@debbieramsey8933 Thank you, my sweet fellow catholic. I checked your pic and guess you're also a warrior? I haven't met a catholic warrior in our church yet. Have met prayer Warriors though. I think you do the same "warrior". Both of my sons were strong Warriors, then heard the world beckoning them. And they ran full force, at the age of 18. Both left the chruch over 20 yrs ago. Was Warriors of 3 and heavens elite, now it's just me and heavens elite. Been a warrior since 12 yrs old. I'm a sober alcoholic of over 40 yrs, only, due to the grace of Christ. Thank you for your prayers, and I'm praying for you and yours also.🙏💒👼👑🕊

Please do a video on WW2 ration. Grandparents came through the 30's depression and the war and had good longevity.
The rations were not their only foods, but supplemented what they could raise or barter with those in the community; however, calorie restriction is associated with longevity. That would be an interesting video.
Sugar was certainly rationed. I remember my mum telling me about that. The ships had better things to do.
There is a book called The Jane Austin diet that talks about this. It’s a good read.
@mare, thank you for mentioning this! I will look it up! ❤
Interesting, will check that out.
@@drphilipbosanquet Correction to spelling, it’s Austen
I need to get that book because those old timey high society ladies were extremely thin and fabulous - I want that aesthetic!
♥️👏
Thank you for this recommendation-I just ordered it 🥰👍
I have ridiculously inconvenient food allergies. It keeps me eating food that I’ve prepared myself. I feel great! Real food is definitely best.
Oh I do love the 'get enough sleep' mantra, repeated SO often. Yeah, I'd love to get enough, good quality sleep but I don't and can't. All anyone ever suggest are the old, oft repeated chestnuts, which believe me, anyone who sleeps badly have tried. It's not helpful.
I'm 68 and also slept poorly for many years...until I ditched my bed and started sleeping on the floor (Japanese tatami mat). Total game changer. Wish I had known earlier.
Helps me to go to bed AS SOON as I am sleepy.
That's possible for me since I am retired now.
I do the regular stuff, like getting black out curtains, setting the thermostat at 65 degrees, listening to a noise machine, and instead if ruminating, writing down my concerns in a journal, and no screen time on tv or phone or tablet for two hours before bedtime. And I bought some "non-blue" light bulbs.
All helped a little, but the big thing is being in bed and turning out the light the second I get sleepy.
No, "Just one more chapter" nonsense any more.
Hope you get some relief.
I've had sleep difficulties since early childhood.
YESSS!! This! My fave is when they say….if you don’t get your sleep ‘right’ nothing else matters 😫😫😫
Make sure you're sleeping with your mouth closed, obvious exception if you have a cold & can't temporarily. It will change your whole life. Floor sleeping is great, too, particularly if you move a lot & are paranoid about rolling out of bed
Go camping somewhere with no electricity and no cell phone. Read, walk, eat, sleep. Give it 3 days for circadian rhythm to reset and youll be shocked how well you can sleep in a natural state environment. I would bet my life savings youll see a huge effect of eliminating rather than adding 'what everyone knows' hacks.
Your opening statement is exactly why I am a carnivore. I eat only meat and feel amazing and NOT sick like when I was eating carbs. Never going back to eating like Americans.
I am very much an omnivore and feel great on that. But it is amazing hearing people reversing all sorts of conditions including autoimmune conditions on a carnivore diet and is staggering the medical establishment is seemingly disinterested. Fantastic you feel great on meat!
@@drphilipbosanquetI'm on carnivore with berries and coffee and occasional dairy, I really wanted to stay omnivore like you say, but it goes all against me, even dairy is a push 😏. On beef butter and eggs I thrive 😀🎉
@@drphilipbosanquet I am also carnivor except that I still have coffee. I feel great on meat. Fiber is not necessary. The digestion works well without fiber. Many people who have IBS (I don't) have less problems when avoiding fiber.
@@zorabw8948yes, cured my UC and reflux. I still have coffee and dairy. Also i will have a cheat day with pepperoni pizza every few months. But you know one of the greatest concerns for me is glyphosefate, spelt wrong, it's in everything now. Luckily we have our own chemical free meat.
I was diagnosed as being a type 2 diabetic, and told I would need to take metformin every day, and eventually go on insulin. I was never told anything about my diet, except to try to minimise cakes and sweets. I went vegetarian, almost vegan, and just got worse. I then decided to go on keto, then carnivore and hey presto my blood sugars started dropping, I felt better, slept better, and best of all it felt like my brain seemed to be more awake. I now do a keto/carnivore diet (mainly meat/fish and a little low carb veg) along with intermittent fasting. Never felt better.
My so called free range chicken have been victims of government fearmonger on bird flu...theyre all in the barn
I’ve found that Intermittent fasting and low carb diet has worked for me. Along with some light aerobic exercise 4 days a week and weightlifting 2 days per week.
And yet rickets were rife. The average Victorian ate very poorly, some children weren’t even paid for their work if they were orphans, they couldn’t afford food. I work in a museum and you can see how sick they were from their bones. Rural people were generally healthy, but the normal person in the city wasn’t a pinnacle of health *at all*.
A vey good point.
Completely agree, most of what I've read about health in the Victorian era is horrific. Although that is what makes the cited paper an interesting read. Of course from the nutrition point of view, less about the Victorian era per se than just rolling back modern processed foods.
Rickets are mostly caused by not getting any sun. Almost none of our vitamin D comes from our diet by comparison (unless we religiously avoid the sun that is, which we definitely should not do)
Get out of the cities.
The rich overindulged while the poor suffered.
I like your common sense approach to this subject. I achieved type 2 remission a year and half ago and maintain a now reducing healthy A1c thanks to low carb, ketogenic and carnivore. I did that in stages but all of it included what your talking about here in the lives of Victorians. I am starting to wonder now how much seed oils could have done major damage to my body and again, Victorians had the answer there as also with food aditives, emulsifiers and preservatives. Another thing, the Victorians didnt demonise meat, fish, eggs as we do today. Looking back in time is likely a source of useful information as recent approaches to obesity are not working.
Fantastic you've made that progress, nice one. Meat has always been the most important food to humans (see my animal fat vid) up until bizarre modern trends. Very sad people don't realise the damage being done by demonising it.
ive read several accounts that in 39' to 45 we were generally more healthy than today with our 24/7 eating habits.
I am sure they were eating bread as their main basic food. Then beans and legumes and fruit in the summer. Honey also. Milk from cattle. Back in the days - they did not kill cattle freqvently, because they had milk , also they cannot preserve so much meat , so they kill an animal during festive occasion , and fed lots of people , ocasionaly. Chicken might be on the plate once a week for the family , there is a lot of work with cleaning the chicken , so they did not eat meat more then once a week. People living by the sea had fish often though , this is the only meat exception. Also , they had eggs regurarly. Yes , everything was clean , the rural people , having their land were probably well fed and lived quite good , healthy lives..hopefully..
@AnnabethLee144 But/And the wheat they made their bread from was different. It’s gluten had a different DNA! People/scientists/big corporations began genetically modifying wheat in the 1940s! Victorian (& earlier) people were eating a different kind of wheat than we’re “offered” at the grocery stores. I’ve recently started using Einkorn flour, and I’m liking it so far. (Also, their salt wasn’t just “sodium” like the table salt of today. They used salt with minerals, whether it was sea salt, or salt from the eyes of the animals they were eating.) ❤
This is a very romantic way to view diet and cooking too. If I actually hand whipped egg whites into stiff peaks to make certain desserts I probably would not make them 😅😂 or churn my own butter 😂 how they did it all by hand is amazing.
Churning butter is actually simple and not as time consuming as people would have you believe and of course, you could use a food processor.
The claim that many people in Victorian England were tea total is dubious. Water in was not safe unless boiled. Tea was expensive. Beer was cheap. Gin was lovely da'ling. And lordnum kept the kids quiet.
Re the history, I have only gone by that specific paper, don't know much more myself. They are dealing with a relatively small portion of the Victorian era though maybe that comes into it? I have also heard about times of high beer intake due to safety relative to water.
@coventgarden1925 Just to be technical… It’s spelling is Laudanum (made from the opium poppy). ☀️
In some historical sources, the beer is said to be mainly "small beer," a more lactose ferment that is less alcoholic. Other alcoholic beverages were not made with modern industrialized methods or made with nutritionally inferior produce. There was some sort of abstinence movement, but I do not know the years that covered, or if it extended to Mid Victorian England.
Also the claim they lived longer based on nutrition is a guess. There is no research possible to prove this under scientific parameters. I hate fake science..
Excellent summary. We are what we eat!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it.
Meat and bones!
Brilliant! I’ve mostly been eating like this for years (I cook). It cannot be overstressed how crap processed food is. Bad for the body, bad for the brain, and damaging to their longevity. Keep well.
Nice one. I agree, I think many people view processed food as suboptimal, but like you, I think it is devastating to a degree people don't realise.
Love this channel. Modern food production is making us ill. My granddaughter is going into organic farming and eating off the land. If we could all do that we would feel much better physically and emotionally. Thanks for spreading the word!
Thanks a lot! That's great what your granddaughter is doing, and I think more of us need to follow suit. I've started with chickens, veg patch and some fruit/nut trees, ideally will scale up at some point.
I think too that people of that era would have been healthier and leaner because they had less variety of food and flavors. When you eat the same thing every day, it's not as appealing, unless you are truly hungry and therefore you don't over-indulge.
Good point, yes, having repetitive foods and less access to dopamine foods can naturally cause intermittent fasting too.
Yeah, if it's the 4th day of peas porridge, and that's the only option you're not going to be snacking out of boredom!
Although i do follow & thrive from a carnivore diet(have been for over 2&1/2 years now), I am not dogmatic or dismissive of others way of eating so long as all processed foods are severely restricted at the very least(better eliminated) & real single ingredient foods are given preference 👌👍💪
Thank you so. Much for your very informative information, i have recently cut right down on carbs and ended my addiction to my little gin and tonic which was never a little gin - those gin glasses are so big 🙄 I’ve lost a stone so quickly and thinking about what we are eating and beginning to grow a little in my small garden but again thank you for your valuable information .
Will you be looking at mushroom intake at anytime as there seems to be a lot of interest in the benefits , I have just started drinking organic lions mane coffee - just something else to add to your list 😂
wish you could get talking to those pesky NHS ‘ experts’ who do mislead us and bring in Drs like yourself who want to get the message out . Well done Sir , Julie
Keep up the good work, more information please, as much as you can throw at us. You are worth listening to. Thank you.
Thanks a lot!
Didn't the Victoria's have high teas which included sponge cakes with jam and cream, lots of sandwiches, biscuits, etc. The one thing going for them would have been the absence of pesticides, in regards to food. A big plus. Many died of 'consumption', scarlet fever, an other childhood illnesses.
HE SAID... Between 1830 and 1860
Infectious diseases which have zero to do with diet
@@emcarver8983 He also talked about life expectancy at age 5 - thus excluding most childhood deaths.
@valeriemurray9903 But we keep forgetting that “they” began genetically modifying wheat in the 1940s! Before that, wheat was a whole different thing! One of the “ancient grains” (ie non-GMO) is Einkorn. It’s gluten has a different DNA than modern-day wheat, and the Victorian era would have been cooking/eating something like that. That would be one of the differences.
And another difference is, pasteurization wasn’t a thing yet either. Modern-day milk is actually “dead milk”. Today’s so-called “raw milk” is different, and it comes out of the cow with beneficial bacteria already naturally in it that ferment the milk naturally! Thus, “raw milk” doesn’t “go bad” like milk from the store (pasteurized, which “goes putrid”). 😊
@@emcarver8983 Not completely true, technically… The healthier we eat, the healthier we are. And that helps us be less susceptible to contagious/infectious diseases. ❤
At last, a doctor that knows what he's talking about. Thank you very much. I'm seventy-two and you just told me about the foods my mother fed me. I stepped back when my grandmother bought eels though. She lived to her nineties.
My only disagreement is on sweeteners. It's hard to get more natural than the herb stevia. It sweetens while adding zero calories, and I'm sure the people of Victorian England would have happily and successfully added it to their daily diets, had they but known of it.
The point is NO added sweeteners natural or otherwise. One doesn’t need them. Natural sweetness is in normal fruit et cetera.
@stepahanygates6491 But the vast majority of people who use Stevia… aren’t actually using the PLANT. They’re eating some white over-processed product made by some industrial company.
Real, actual Stevia is a *green* *plant* (Stevia rebaudiana = it’s official Latin nomenclature). Is that what you’re using…? It’s green, not white.
If you live in US zones 10 thru 12, you can grow it year-round. If you live elsewhere, you can most likely grow it as an annual. ❤
Starvation which was rife isn’t something to strive for, don’t get me wrong far too many fat people who won’t taken responsibility for their poor diet choices these days astounds me by how much beige food they can pack into one trolley.
I bought a greenhouse last year and this year have expanded to growing tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, raspberries and cauliflowers.
The lettuce which is new this year taste of something just as home grown tomatoes are like might and day to shop bought as well as raspberries.
You can actually pack quite a lot in a small space as my lettuce and strawberries hang in containers from my gazebo.
I also bought a licorice plant which I’m keeping in a planter because it spreads like mad to keep my hayfever symptoms under control, smelling the vague scent for a few minutes eases and stops hayfever. I’ve barely sneezed and had no red eyes or runny nose this year thanks to that plant.
Very clear and concise instructions, thx. 👏🇦🇺
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for this. I’m quite overweight and will focus on this simple, yet healthy way of eating.
You're welcome, and I hope that it helps :)
They seemed to have drunk quite a bit where I lived, judging by the dozens of Victorian pubs.
Why don't we bring back the workhouse? They didn't eat youghurt, olive oil, they ate what they could afford which was often very little. I'm all for non processed food but the Victorian diet had loads of sugar. Do your research on history. Plus there was gin, lard, butter, laudanum, opium addiction
05:48 does that factor in that it takes 5 or so hours, to fully empty the stomach.
Last meal. 1800 + 5 hours to full empty, that would bring the time up to 2300, so at 1100 the next day would mean, a true fast of 12 hours.
No doubt, the later you eat and the closer to bedtime, the more time it would take to fully empty the stomach?
Excellent, concise and accurate. 👌
Thanks, glad you think so!
Great video and fortunately, I've been on board with this for a while. Intermittent fasting and eating Whole Foods for the last 3 years.
You mentioned any artificial sweetener. Curious about your thoughts on Stevia and monk fruit.... I use Stevia In The Raw on the regular in my coffee
@joetrolo7076 I don’t know what the OP says, but I’ve read SO MUCH about nutritional research, and, honestly, as an Herbalist, if I can’t take a green plant from my garden, and make it into a white powder in MY kitchen, I’m certainly not gonna trust some food industry corporation to do “something” to it and make me think it’s “healthy”.
i.e. I don’t trust it! I’d honestly first grow the plant in my garden and try a green leaf from it to see if I like it. I’ve read that it’s *way too sweet* and we only need a teeny-tiny amount.
It’s Latin name is “Stevia rebaudiana”, if you’re interested.
Probably the same thing with Monk Fruit. I’ve never cared enough to “investigate”. 😊
I currently have to take painkillers and have been taking them every day for a year. I am careful with what I eat but my medicine contains artificial additives and when I asked for a different formula these ones contain saccharine!
What sort of painkillers?
@@SamStone1964 tramadol. They contain colouring plus other things and the other formula is soluble and has saccharine.
Isn't the time you refer to the same as the original Banting diet?
Thank you
This video is amazing!!! We should make a Charles Dickens cook book!
Thanks a lot!
@@drphilipbosanquet I drink dry red wines every afternoon from 4 PM - 9 00PM when I retire for bed.

Let’s check in with you when you’re 74, 11 months and 3 weeks, 6 days.@@theaustralianconundrum
you mention the chemicals but suggest to eat whole grains? Doesn't make sense.
Yes! Grains are horrible for humans
First time visitor. I assume you know the book by Chris van Tulleken, The ultra-processed people. If not, it is an interesting read which support your idea of a healthy diet.
I wonder how much blood type affects optimum diet? I've been vegetarian for 40 years because I don't like meat - taste,smell,texture. I learnt around 15 years ago that Aneg types notably prefer plant based diets. I enjoy dairy and the occasional fish. Its like distant ancestors were foragers rather than hunters. Has much research been done on diet and blood type?
I totally agree on removing processed food. I like snacking with one proper meal daily but snacks can be fruit or nuts or just some bread and cheese for a bigger lunch snack. Yes. I enjoy crips, cakes, biscuits etc but I limit them to occasional treats.
The wisdom shared by many credible doctors and that I was taught in biology classes was to avoid 'organic' produce if you're concerned about pesticides. The limitations on which pesticides farmers are allowed to use for the produce to qualify as organic often means farmers using less effective pesticides in greater quantities resulting in the consumer eating a lot more pesticides. There's also no reason to assume that the pesticides used are any safer, I was warned that some are more harmful. This may not be universally true as the rules may be different elsewhere but here in the UK organic is best avoided.
I am confused. Isn't organic produce pesticide free? I am in the UK and would like to know for sure....
@@srbrans It’s a common misconception that the organic label means no pesticides. It doesn’t. Pesticide free is not a financially viable option for farmers here, they struggle enough as is.
I lived like a Victorian but unfortunately I caught typhoid and died.
Also washing once a week or so. Your skins natural oils keeps germs outside.😊😊
Agreed (probably why people keep their distance from me), loads of skin problems caused by excessive washing. I just use olive oil bar soap and an egg for shampoo to dodge the endocrine disrupting chemicals in personal care products too!
Unless it allergy season in California
@@drphilipbosanquet Cracking an egg over other hairy bits sounds a bit kinky, but I guess it could be nourishing. I'll give it a go! The way that eggs were demonised during the era of obsessing about 'low fat' and avoiding dietary cholesterol was so misguided - sad. Eggs (pasture raised, free range) are a great food.
Now this is interesting because when I shower I don’t use soap unless absolutely necessary. I have less BO, and far less dry skin as well as no more breakouts.
Plus I don’t spend money on expensive soaps that are supposed to remedy all of this.
There’s something to be said about letting your body cope with things instead of adding chemicals.
I hope people listen to you We have always eaten like this and thought it was just normal We are in our 70 s but it is a shock just how badly younger people eat One young mother told us that her mother had never given her vegetables as a child just frozen baked potatoes she is trying a better way for her child. Bringing our kids up in the country on basic food it has made them much healthier in mid age They are all healthier than their friends of the same age
The life expectancy of WOMEN is much better than the mid-victorian period. How reliable are the Victorian stats? I have my doubts they're useful enough to hang pronouncements on
They’re probably mostly (or only) on the upper class, too…. 🤷🏻♀️
I think it may have been the more well off Victorians who had a good diet . I think Charles Dickens may have had a lot to say on the subject .
Well it would be nice to replace my diet with organic vegetables and grass fed beef - but that simply isn;t a practical health measure for most people. Indeed, if the entire UK population tried to do it, we'd be completely unable to feed ourselves.
More realistically, we could each take up a bit more gardening.
As for "0-4 units of alcohol per week" - yes, I could live longer, and they're going to seem like very long tedious years if I do that!
16:8 intermittent fasting which I do most of the time and on my days off from work I do 18:6 and it has changed my life so much and probably even saved my life. After only 5 days I woke up one morning and looked at myself in the mirror with my shirt off and was shocked by the difference I saw. I even looked younger. 😮
That's awesome. Yes it's a very powerful tool.
It’s called being half starved. It works every time.
What about whole organic milk ?
Sounds good, we get unpasteurised (raw) milk whenever we can.
Carbs are essential too too process the protein in your body, otherwise you can have what’s called rabbit starvation aka protein poisoning , like potatoes very high in vitamin c 33% plus many other vitamins and minerals, and we don’t make vitamin c naturally , rabbit starvation can kill you , the trouble is sugar is in everything today , people don’t move enough and we haven’t the jobs that burned off the cals like we did yrs ago , beef liver is high in vitamin B12 and other vitamins and minerals , have one day a week what ever a little of what you want
Thank you for this valuable information. I KNOW that this is true, as I started it 18 months ago and -----> I LOST 60 pounds !
Nice one, that's great!
Beer in the victorian times was a staple considered a food.....small beer as its known.
I don't believe everything you said is true. There was also a lot of I'll health in victorian times and poverty. Not all seed oils have rancid omega 6's.....depends how it's produced. Sunflower oil has been used for thousands of years.
What about bread?
Fibre is indigestible muck
They try to convince us that it is good.
I hate to challenge your theory but the average age of life expectancy in Victorian times was 65!
Not my theory, but that of the authors of the paper (I don't really have a clue). I think it was only a brief time within the Victorian era in the UK, certainly an exception, not the rule.
@@drphilipbosanquet Then where is the validity? I was told tobacco ingestion takes a good 20 years off your life and 30 if you drink alcohol every day & smoke.
This is partly due to high infant mortality rates and the working class living in poverty and squalor which brought the age down. Middle class during this period lived as long as if not longer than the average age today.
@@CloseQuarterCombatLFC
Yes people lived into their 80s and 90s. And when they were miserably sick their lives weren't prolonged unnecessarily by medications.
This approach to nutrition is common place on the internet and has been for years. Nothing new here. Whole foods, minimally processed foods, time restricted eating and exercise to reduce stress. Medicine especially operations are important because they can cut out diseases and identify problematic areas in the early stages, which wasn't available to the Victorians. Environmental pollution in general is a major concern now with PFAS, forever chemicals which may affect multiple areas of the body and cause numerous problems
An interesting take on dietary advice.
Victorians didn’t eat processed everything. You’re welcome. 😊
I would add that we can also include foods that are part of non European diets eg sushi, sauerkraut, dried meats now and then. I follow grandmother's recipes, Mediterranean and Asian foods. I'm 72, take no medications and have a BP averaging 117/66.
I'm on a carnivore diet. Over five years for now.
Food was expensive and natural in the Victoria era
It all depends on your income level
No, it depends on your priorities.
Buy New Zealand meat. All our cattle live outside and eat grass !
We are Facultive Carnivores not omnis.
Our teeth and digestive system is that of an omnivore.
You lost me at grains. The human gut doesn't process grains well.
As a nutritionist it makes me cringe when I hear/see people recommending that people cut out carbs. Your body needs carbs. It runs on carbs. Don’t confuse healthy carbs with high fat foods such as donuts, chips, fries, etc. Those foods may have carbs, but they are by no means a carbohydrate food, they are a fat food.
Your body may need glucose, but it doesn't need you to eat any. It can use gluconeogenesis to generate it from fats or proteins. Don't need to eat any carbs at all (not recommending, just saying).
@@drphilipbosanquet Our primary purpose for eating is for fuel. Do you agree? Our fuel, which provides us with the energy we need to live, comes is only one exact arrangement of atoms. I’m assuming you learned that in school. We eat for this one substance. What is it? Sugar! Sugar, as I’m sure you know, is a six-carbon molecule (1 aldehyde and 5 hydroxyl groups) Carbohydrates are just 2 or more sugars connected together. I’m sure if you were honest with your viewers, you could/would tell them the effects of severally cutting carbs. Also, I’m sure if you were honest with your viewers, you would tell them that you have never come into contact with anyone that suffers a protein deficiency, at least not in any developed nation. You would also tell them that any diet that claims to be a high protein diet, such as paleo, is actually a high fat diet. For example, if someone on a paleo or other high animal product diet, eats between 10%-35% of their calories from protein (which is the average) and they consume no carbohydrates, then they would be consuming anywhere from 65%-90% of their calories from fat! Too much saturated fat typically causes cholesterol to build up your arteries. As a doctor, I’m assuming you know what frequently happens when arteries become clogged with plaque, but just for the sake of clarity, clogged arteries become narrow and harden, which most likely will reduce blood flow and oxygen to vital organs. This can lead to such common conditions such as CVD, strokes, and heart attacks. Sadly, many physicians lead their patients down this path by recommending a high fat, low fiber, low carbohydrate diet.
The “eat more sugar because fat is terrible” lie was carefully crafted, with a certain purpose in mind, and with big money, big pharma, bought politicians and schools still teaching this 1970s “health” crap to doctors and nutritionists, it dies a slow death.
Everyone is an expert - laughing. If you are from the school of thought that saturated fats clog your arteries and glucose is the only source of energy, this information is not for you. Are you here for the sole purpose of being a naysayer? I went on this diet, lost a lot of weight, got of all medications, and felt great. Went off it, gained the weight back, and got all the medications back, and felt like crap. I'm back on it now. I FEEL GREAT! That is all the schooling I need. NEVER GOING BACK! How good is a degree in nutrition if they teach you false information based on flawed studies or hidden studies that disagree with their desired results.
@@MaggieMiller1 Interesting. So, what you are telling me is, that the weight loss you experienced was temporary, because as soon as you went off the diet you gained weight? See, that’s because it’s a DIET, as in an eating plan to help you lose weight. I promote a lifestyle, something that you can use throughout your life that provides lifelong benefits. People lose weight on a carnivore/ketp/paleo diet because it is such a restrictive diet, and there is an abundance of evidence predating Atkins, that such a restrictive diet is not sustainable long term. Despite your beliefs, I guarantee you that CVD and diabetes are due to high meat intake. That’s not to mention that they can increase the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiency, and digestive issues.
Also, no, I did not come here to be a naysayer. I actually watched the video thinking that it was going to be a more realistic, honest account of Victorian era diets.
Everyone is an expert? No. Some of us (me, for instance) are experts, while others just offer biased opinions.
Beyond that, perhaps YOU should do some research on your own, rather than just following a trend, and you might learn why you gained weight when you stopped the carnivore-type diet. I hope you take the time to educate yourself properly so that you can be healthy and fit as you age. Good luck, whichever path you choose.
Or just eat a vegan diet, which all the evidence points to is the best.
bro, blink, and moisturize...
also more Victorian connection would be good.. how did they eat? did they inter fast?
