I love this channel and Podcast. I have used it to return to an athletic state as an active Dad and professional. I'm down 47 Lbs from 1 year ago as a result of this information and evidence-based nutrition.
Learned something today! I was unaware that vegetarians do not have to insure they eat "complimentary" protein sources to get the proper amount of all the amino acids.
What about the relative bio-availability of animal and plant protein? i.e. how much of the protein in the food is actually digested? From what I have read from many sources, it appears that meat protein is significantly more bio-available than plant protein. I'd love to hear from Dr. Greger on this subject.
@@runner432000 the studies that show poorer bioavailability in plants were primarily animal studies where they feed single source raw plants to pigs. Obviously, people are not typically eating raw lentils and beans. We cook them which increases the bioavailability and we also combine them with other foods and nutrients which has been proven to increase bioavailability as well. That being said, plant protein bioavailability is more variable than from meat, and can average slightly less. Though a well balanced plant based diet provides far more than enough protein and vegans consistently have a higher protein content in their blood anyways further eliminating any cause for concern and proving the case for bioavailability. Dr. Nagra has a few good videos reviewing the science on this topic.
this podcast is so important! I'm more than 10 years vegan but I still believed that I have to carefully mix and match foods for the right combo of amino acids, because my nutritionist said so :/
When you say vegan, do you mean whole food plant based? The difference between the two is that vegan allows processed foods (which recently have been identified as a contributor/driver of 80% of chronic diseases).
Well my parents lived 'till 90yrs and they ate everything. Of course they grew up in the hills of the Mediterranean. I grew up with processed food. That makes a difference.

It is exactly that drive to grow grow grow that is the problem. What do you think is growing best on these, your muscles only need a small amount and so do random repairs throughout the body, the rest gets used to increase IGF1 and especially leucine turns on mTor gene, which do wonders to help cancer and bloodvessels to these cancers grow.

To be complete it's not enough to include all the 9 essential amino acids, but they have to be included in adequate ratios according to the definition.

Thank you for including the guideline to increase fiber 5g/day per week. I hope you will include more guidelines for those with IBS/IBD to go vegan once there are even tentative data available suggesting what is appropriate for those with these ever-increasing chronic conditions.
i work with elderly people and they have some many illness stacked and years of doctor medication and recomendation. its always "fiber is bad i cant handle it" but 12 pills and animal corpse and cheapest fake milk powder.. thats how we treat our elder her
I'll help you out vegetable proteins are appropriate for those with ever-increasing chronic conditions. Animal proteins aggravate many chronic conditions.
I went cold-turkey to WFPB with IBS, it was literally an immediate relieve for me. I was already eat plants, just removed all the animal/processed foods and increased the plant intake. I might be an outlier/rare case, but the overall shift in health even after week or two afterwards were just, unbelievable. I wish I had done this sooner in life.
Why replace all animal protien with plant PROTIEN when you are already getting over double the protein you need. Like why not replace some of it with fruits, tubers ect... (which i know do have some protein) as opposed to pea and soy isolate
@@ksitigarbha9787 ik but isolates in bars and powder are becoming more and more popular in the vegan community. People are eating them where they would have normally had oats or fruit thinking they are making themselves healthier since its "high protein" very expensive, not necessary and probably not healthier considering they ate eating it in place of whole foods
@@phillippinter7518 There is not just 1 vegan community, sure there are vegans that forget the animal that stares back at them in the mirror. But all whole food plant based vegans are pretty careful with isolates. I personally get my protein from whole grains, vegs, fruits and legumes. Some nuts and seeds on a weekly basis.
Why would that be? 85% of people that try the plant based diet return to meat eating in the first 12 months. So even if the whole planet tried going vegan, 85% or more would be meat eaters again next year so you believe the industry is ending for some reason?

Basically, I believe that a vegan diet is healthy. But I have a question: what about carnosin? It'sc contained only in meat and seems to be very important for us. Do vegans have to take an appropriate dietary supplement, or is there another way? I would be very happy about your information on this!
No. My sister lost her gallbladder and damaged her kidneys by doing this. It is dangerous. Her husband and her did this diet together. He is diabetic. He lost weight, but he is still diabetic and has some seriously bad bouts of Gout. So I am not a fan. People are seeing short-term benefits, but there is a cost.
I'm soo confused re: low carb versus high carb. High carb low fat leads to insulin spikes, but you probably have a less chance of heart disease and cancer. Low carb high fat leads to no insulin spikes but you may wind up with cancer or heart disease. it's crazy! I wish he would address insulin cause if I eat oatmeal in the morning, my insulin spikes like crazy!
The insulin spikes will go away when you don't have fat buildup in your cells. Check out Mastering Diabetes, run by 2 type 1 diabetics that both eat a very high carb, low fat diet and thrive with normal bloodsugar (and they are shooting a lot less insulin than my omni t1d collaegue).
@@morrisadams1471 what about the folks who keep their glucose unspiked throughout the day--does science show that they have a healthier body overall versus the ones who spike their glucose??
Right????? Those who “trust the science” don’t have a basic understanding of what science even is. Science is all about questioning. Questioning “the science” was frowned on and shut down. It was not science. It was a cult. Those who speak out against it are bullied and shamed. The truth stands on it’s own. If their “truth” is only truth when any other truth is silenced, is it really truth???
I think it is interesting that He Cuts together all His Protein Videos exept the Video where He says that 0.8 might Not be optimal but 1.2g/kg is.. I Wish He would make more Videos about muscle tissue - its health effects and how much Protein is needed / optimal for that and how plant Protein and Animal Protein is compared in muscle building RCTs
what about it? it comes from bacteria in the soil and fresh water sources. It's not readily available on plant foods nowadays because of how well we wash them, and our water is basically steralized to the point where b12 producing bacteria are non existant in the water we drink. Because of this, people on a plant based diet should supplement. Although, b12 deficiency is common even amongst meat eaters in the U.S.
I understand from another trusted source that plant proteins are not as well absorbed as animal proteins, not that it matters if we get more than we need anyway.
In nutrition, when they say "fiber" they refer specifically to dietary fiber. It has specific characteristics that other things that could also be called "fibers" don't have. Mainly, dietary fiber is not digestible, and it isn't absorbed by the body (goes right out). That's why "muscle fiber" does not fall into this category
@@federicoandre5717 It doesn't "goes right out", the bacteria in our colon ferment it into short chain fatty acids. Which is a really good source of fat we need.
Correct. There is zero fiber in meat. However, I have known a number of people who have reversed some health issues by going carnivore. I am not sure what the long-term cost is though. With my sister, it was the loss of her gallbladder and damage to her kidneys. She lost weight though. Her goal was to lose weight. Her husband also lost weight the same way because he is diabetic.
And containing all the essential amino acids doesn't make the protein source "complete" by definition. The term "complete protein source" is defined as adequate enough of ratios of all the 9 so for example beans are not considered a complete protein source, nor is rice but soy is.
Well yea. But it is irrelevant in an Population who eats enough Calories.. the Scores were disigned for starvation Programs in 3rd World countries. They need complete Proteins when they are starving and dont get more than 25/30g of Protein a day.... Only then it becomes relevant.. And If you would read the Work of Plant and Animal Protein expert Francois Mariotti you would know that Plant Proteins in basicly all Legumes (except Fava Beans) are complete Proteins when we Take into consideration the newest Data and Not the PDCAAS and DIAAS
@@Slizz No it's not irrelevant because first of all the protein recomendations aren't based on facts but what the population survives on, there is a benefit to be gained up to 1.6g/kg of extra protein for most people that use their muscle for things like exercise. Also I have been on a plant based diet and it's not easy to get enough protein without supplements even with the lower RDAs. Anyone who thinks the average person is going to eat 1kg of beans a day isn't living in reality.
@@cyberfunk3793 yes it is irrelevant because the Database was designed for starving people.. If you are Not starving it doesnt apply to you. The Database is Not created for Westerners and muscle building and shouldnt be applied there - thats what the researchers even Note in their papers.. Yes I agree that muscle building Potential is maximized with 1.6g/kg (1-2.2g/kg CI) but that has nothing to do anymore with the Database.. normal and healthy physiological function are different systems than muscle building in an hypercaloric state. And even If you wanna Prove that Animal Protein is supirior for muscle building in those Intake ranges you need RCTs to Show that.. and all RCTs we have which compare Animal Protein to plant Proteins and Animal to plant Based Diets Show that it doesnt Matter - No significant diffrence. This Mindset you have is based on Mechanistics which are based on Databases which are Not designed for this demografic. Eat enough Calories and exercise Close to failure.. that makes Up the Most of the muscle building.. Getting Up to 1.6g/kg (1-2.2g/kg CI) Shows benefits for building muscle faster but the effect isnt even that big but is significant I agree.. If you struggle to get that high rearange your Dietary pattern to eat more Protein dence and calorie dence foods in.. I at least eat 4 Meals a day ~3000kcals and get 155 - 192g of Protein a day on my plant exclusive Diet. If you have any questions or If you wanna add anything feel free
Good thing our bodies are quite smart. They don't only pretend that each food is being consumed by itself, even when you consume with a bunch of other foods. No, our bodies are so dumb, that it will take each individual food, process it first, use those resources up and then process the next piece of food? COME ON, you can't serious believe that our bodies are that dumb, right?
@@Slizz The only thing that we should care is what is the healthy level of protein for active people and is it easy to get from a plant based diet. I have figured lately that 1.2 - 1.6g/kg would probably be a good level of total protein per day and I personally know it's not easy to get on plant based diet without supplements. I bet you are eating a lot of soy every day or eating protein powder if you claim to get over 150g grams of protein. I would need to eat something like 2000 calories worth of beans to get near 100g of protein as I need to avoid fermented foods like tofu. That is too much beans and lentils every day so practically the only option would be some powder like pea, hemp or rice. I have tried them, but have chosen to eat whey powder instead. I try to eat in about 8-10h window, so 3 times a day. Not willing to eat 4 times just to get enough protein or other nutrients.
A Reaction Gelatin is not good for you in general, and it’s main source is form the pig. Swine and all its byproducts should be avoided. I DESPISED giving up Kellogg Mini Wheats, but the flavourful coating is from gelatin.
The most important principle is 1) eat raw plant most of the time 2)fast ....water or juice Occasionally to clean Out the stored up stuff In ur tissues ....thats it!!!
I can technically animal protein therefore they have high levels of leucine amino acid which which encourages the production of igf-1 and to top it off they have Mercury
@@spamonme4328 sardines are tiny and do not have any significant amount of mercury (that is issue in larger fish). Likewise IGF 1: the ideal value ain’t zero. You might look into things before you assume they apply.
There are benefits to BOTH. The issue is with some, I repeat, SOME, vegans & vegetarians who are dogmatic and toxic towards those who eat meat. I won’t be looked down upon because I choose to eat a chicken wing from time to time.
Dr. Gregor advocates for a Whole Food Plant BASED diet. Vegans can be unhealthy because they eat processed food more than whole foods. I personally have found no benefits to eating meat when I'm not about to starve to death. I base my opinion on 37 years of watching people who eat meat and their health decline versus watching people ADD plants to their diet and they get better (some drastically). Just add more plants into your diet every day and try to vary what you add. It's not too difficult. An occasional chicken wing is no big deal. Eating lots of processed (junk) food every day can kill you over time much faster than a few chicken wings every Tuesday...

I feel my best Lost 73 pounds in 8 months when I started. I'm sorry but I'm confused 😕 Oh and my bathroom moments are wonderful. I was constipated from to much fiber. This is misleading
What's your blood work like, what's your cholesterol? Just because you watch one video, you think you've learned everything? You are literally consuming the very thing that Diet is our #1 killer. Where the vast majority of our top killing diseases to boot. Just because animal products don't aggravate you, doesn't mean they've healed you. If you can't eat certain types of plants, it's because you have a problem that needs to be fixed. Have you even looked in to that at all? Just like Simon from Gojiman here on YT has done for thousands of people, you should never have a problem digesting plants. If you do, find out WHY and fix it. If your doctor's have no idea and can't figure it out, you unfortunately need to do it yourself(we need to have more autonomy anyways) through nutritionist's. You WILL get in to problems. The RE-SEARCH doesn't lie and the evidence is quite extensive. If you don't want to die a horrible death, I highly suggest you do a lot more research so you're not confused over one video. I eat well over 70grams of fiber a day and have some problems(which I'm going through the process of getting figured out like the thousands before me have). I KNOW that once this process is over, I won't have these problems anymore. Even if I still had problems, it's no where NEAR how bad animal products are for you in the long run. NO WHERE NEAR.
The key is u lost 73 lbs when u started. If you haven't already gained it back, you will, as everyone I know has on keto. Keto was made to be used for 3 weeks max before heart surgery to quickly drop weight but isn't sustainable for a healthy body.

The World Health Organization pulled out of sponsoring a global initiative promoting healthier and sustainable diets across the world after pressure from an Italian official who raised concerns about the impact of the diet on people’s health and livelihoods.
The event-the launch of the EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health in Geneva, Switzerland on 28 March-still went ahead, sponsored by the government of Norway.
WHO dropped its planned sponsorship after Gian Lorenzo Cornado, Italy’s ambassador and permanent representative of Italy to the international organizations in Geneva, questioned the scientific basis for the diet which is focused on promoting predominantly plant based foods, and excluding foods deemed unhealthy, including meat and other animal based foods.
Cornado warned that a global move to such a diet could lead to the loss of millions of jobs linked to animal husbandry and the production of “unhealthy” foods, and destroy traditional diets which are part of cultural heritage.
The initiative “urging for a centralised control of our dietary choices” risked “the total elimination of consumers’ freedom of choice,” …
Thank you for what you do for our diet-broken society.
Thank you for including the guideline to increase fiber 5g/day per week. I hope you will include more guidelines for those with IBS/IBD to go vegan once there are even tentative data available suggesting what is appropriate for those with these ever-increasing chronic conditions.
i work with elderly people and they have some many illness stacked and years of doctor medication and recomendation.
its always "fiber is bad i cant handle it" but 12 pills and animal corpse and cheapest fake milk powder.. thats how we treat our elder her
I'll help you out vegetable proteins are appropriate for those with ever-increasing chronic conditions. Animal proteins aggravate many chronic conditions.
I went cold-turkey to WFPB with IBS, it was literally an immediate relieve for me. I was already eat plants, just removed all the animal/processed foods and increased the plant intake. I might be an outlier/rare case, but the overall shift in health even after week or two afterwards were just, unbelievable. I wish I had done this sooner in life.
Why replace all animal protien with plant PROTIEN when you are already getting over double the protein you need. Like why not replace some of it with fruits, tubers ect... (which i know do have some protein) as opposed to pea and soy isolate
I don't think he's saying take isolates
@@ksitigarbha9787 ik but isolates in bars and powder are becoming more and more popular in the vegan community. People are eating them where they would have normally had oats or fruit thinking they are making themselves healthier since its "high protein" very expensive, not necessary and probably not healthier considering they ate eating it in place of whole foods
@@phillippinter7518 There is not just 1 vegan community, sure there are vegans that forget the animal that stares back at them in the mirror. But all whole food plant based vegans are pretty careful with isolates. I personally get my protein from whole grains, vegs, fruits and legumes. Some nuts and seeds on a weekly basis.
@@11235Aodh its a commonly used term. you know what I'm talking about.
Amazing
I've eaten meat my entire life. I don't do well with either protein. :(
Why do some energy drinks promote BCAA if they’re bad?
Because it drives profit.
Why do they promote sugary cereals as healthy?
Love you Dr G!!!
Can you do an updated video on the interaction between casein protein and antioxidants?
Why, when the source of the protein isn't good for you to begin with?

Love this man
Another great podcast. The days of the meat industry are numbered.
Why would that be? 85% of people that try the plant based diet return to meat eating in the first 12 months. So even if the whole planet tried going vegan, 85% or more would be meat eaters again next year so you believe the industry is ending for some reason?

Now eggs are unhealthy ugh it keeps changing
Basically, I believe that a vegan diet is healthy. But I have a question: what about carnosin? It'sc contained only in meat and seems to be very important for us. Do vegans have to take an appropriate dietary supplement, or is there another way? I would be very happy about your information on this!
Thanks for dispelling some myths about plant eaters. So much misinformation that won’t go away.
Yes says Dr Greger the guy with perfect body health. I think you might wanna get some more protein.
what about those "all meat" diets ? with low carbohydrades. is that as healthy as those folks profess?
It’s healthier than processed food, but it lacks significant nutrients… Vitamins A, C, etc.
No. My sister lost her gallbladder and damaged her kidneys by doing this. It is dangerous. Her husband and her did this diet together. He is diabetic. He lost weight, but he is still diabetic and has some seriously bad bouts of Gout. So I am not a fan. People are seeing short-term benefits, but there is a cost.
I'm soo confused re: low carb versus high carb. High carb low fat leads to insulin spikes, but you probably have a less chance of heart disease and cancer. Low carb high fat leads to no insulin spikes but you may wind up with cancer or heart disease. it's crazy! I wish he would address insulin cause if I eat oatmeal in the morning, my insulin spikes like crazy!
The insulin spikes will go away when you don't have fat buildup in your cells. Check out Mastering Diabetes, run by 2 type 1 diabetics that both eat a very high carb, low fat diet and thrive with normal bloodsugar (and they are shooting a lot less insulin than my omni t1d collaegue).
After eating, everyone’s insulin “spikes.”If it’s still high after 2 hours, then you have a problem.
@@morrisadams1471 what about the folks who keep their glucose unspiked throughout the day--does science show that they have a healthier body overall versus the ones who spike their glucose??
You’re on the wrong channel for questions about diabetes. Check out Mastering Diabetes.
You must be eating processed/ rolled oats. Just eat plain soaked oats with no milk .
LOL - We all know what following the "science" did in 2021 don't we?
Right????? Those who “trust the science” don’t have a basic understanding of what science even is. Science is all about questioning. Questioning “the science” was frowned on and shut down. It was not science. It was a cult. Those who speak out against it are bullied and shamed. The truth stands on it’s own. If their “truth” is only truth when any other truth is silenced, is it really truth???
I think it is interesting that He Cuts together all His Protein Videos exept the Video where He says that 0.8 might Not be optimal but 1.2g/kg is..
I Wish He would make more Videos about muscle tissue - its health effects and how much Protein is needed / optimal for that and how plant Protein and Animal Protein is compared in muscle building RCTs
Vit. B12?
what about it? it comes from bacteria in the soil and fresh water sources. It's not readily available on plant foods nowadays because of how well we wash them, and our water is basically steralized to the point where b12 producing bacteria are non existant in the water we drink. Because of this, people on a plant based diet should supplement. Although, b12 deficiency is common even amongst meat eaters in the U.S.
Have you searched for the video on it? Each channel has a search function.
I understand from another trusted source that plant proteins are not as well absorbed as animal proteins, not that it matters if we get more than we need anyway.
Why isn't Muscle Fiber considered fiber??
In nutrition, when they say "fiber" they refer specifically to dietary fiber. It has specific characteristics that other things that could also be called "fibers" don't have. Mainly, dietary fiber is not digestible, and it isn't absorbed by the body (goes right out). That's why "muscle fiber" does not fall into this category
@@federicoandre5717 It doesn't "goes right out", the bacteria in our colon ferment it into short chain fatty acids. Which is a really good source of fat we need.
What? No fiber in meat? I haven't had fiber for 4 years, it must not be necessary because I could hardly walk 4 years ago and I can go jogging now.
Correct. There is zero fiber in meat. However, I have known a number of people who have reversed some health issues by going carnivore. I am not sure what the long-term cost is though. With my sister, it was the loss of her gallbladder and damage to her kidneys. She lost weight though. Her goal was to lose weight. Her husband also lost weight the same way because he is diabetic.
And containing all the essential amino acids doesn't make the protein source "complete" by definition. The term "complete protein source" is defined as adequate enough of ratios of all the 9 so for example beans are not considered a complete protein source, nor is rice but soy is.
Well yea. But it is irrelevant in an Population who eats enough Calories.. the Scores were disigned for starvation Programs in 3rd World countries. They need complete Proteins when they are starving and dont get more than 25/30g of Protein a day.... Only then it becomes relevant..
And If you would read the Work of Plant and Animal Protein expert Francois Mariotti you would know that Plant Proteins in basicly all Legumes (except Fava Beans) are complete Proteins when we Take into consideration the newest Data and Not the PDCAAS and DIAAS
@@Slizz No it's not irrelevant because first of all the protein recomendations aren't based on facts but what the population survives on, there is a benefit to be gained up to 1.6g/kg of extra protein for most people that use their muscle for things like exercise. Also I have been on a plant based diet and it's not easy to get enough protein without supplements even with the lower RDAs. Anyone who thinks the average person is going to eat 1kg of beans a day isn't living in reality.
@@cyberfunk3793 yes it is irrelevant because the Database was designed for starving people.. If you are Not starving it doesnt apply to you. The Database is Not created for Westerners and muscle building and shouldnt be applied there - thats what the researchers even Note in their papers..
Yes I agree that muscle building Potential is maximized with 1.6g/kg (1-2.2g/kg CI)
but that has nothing to do anymore with the Database.. normal and healthy physiological function are different systems than muscle building in an hypercaloric state.
And even If you wanna Prove that Animal Protein is supirior for muscle building in those Intake ranges you need RCTs to Show that.. and all RCTs we have which compare Animal Protein to plant Proteins and Animal to plant Based Diets Show that it doesnt Matter - No significant diffrence.
This Mindset you have is based on Mechanistics which are based on Databases which are Not designed for this demografic.
Eat enough Calories and exercise Close to failure.. that makes Up the Most of the muscle building..
Getting Up to 1.6g/kg (1-2.2g/kg CI) Shows benefits for building muscle faster but the effect isnt even that big but is significant I agree..
If you struggle to get that high rearange your Dietary pattern to eat more Protein dence and calorie dence foods in.. I at least eat 4 Meals a day ~3000kcals and get 155 - 192g of Protein a day on my plant exclusive Diet.
If you have any questions or If you wanna add anything feel free
Good thing our bodies are quite smart. They don't only pretend that each food is being consumed by itself, even when you consume with a bunch of other foods. No, our bodies are so dumb, that it will take each individual food, process it first, use those resources up and then process the next piece of food? COME ON, you can't serious believe that our bodies are that dumb, right?
@@Slizz The only thing that we should care is what is the healthy level of protein for active people and is it easy to get from a plant based diet. I have figured lately that 1.2 - 1.6g/kg would probably be a good level of total protein per day and I personally know it's not easy to get on plant based diet without supplements. I bet you are eating a lot of soy every day or eating protein powder if you claim to get over 150g grams of protein. I would need to eat something like 2000 calories worth of beans to get near 100g of protein as I need to avoid fermented foods like tofu. That is too much beans and lentils every day so practically the only option would be some powder like pea, hemp or rice. I have tried them, but have chosen to eat whey powder instead. I try to eat in about 8-10h window, so 3 times a day. Not willing to eat 4 times just to get enough protein or other nutrients.
does gelatin create an inflammatory response?
Cow toenails do cause inflammation. Try sea moss instead.
@@lukeweaver9287 Been on Sea Moss since I was 4!! Grows on the coast of my island. No purchase, just go grab it from the sea!!!!!!
A Reaction Gelatin is not good for you in general, and it’s main source is form the pig. Swine and all its byproducts should be avoided. I DESPISED giving up Kellogg Mini Wheats, but the flavourful coating is from gelatin.
The most important principle is 1) eat raw plant most of the time
2)fast ....water or juice
Occasionally to clean
Out the stored up stuff
In ur tissues ....thats it!!!
talking about fiber and whole food, i have many people replying to me that flour is whole food..........
Those people are ridiculously uninformed.
Provide me any negative health information on sardines. I’ll wait.
I can technically animal protein therefore they have high levels of leucine amino acid which which encourages the production of igf-1 and to top it off they have Mercury
@@spamonme4328 And especially leucine turns on mTor gene, which tells cells to just keep on dividing. Great for cancer.
@@spamonme4328 sardines are tiny and do not have any significant amount of mercury (that is issue in larger fish). Likewise IGF 1: the ideal value ain’t zero. You might look into things before you assume they apply.
@@Scottlp2 Is this is a joke? Sardines do have industrial chemicals dissolved in their meat which get dissolved in your meat when you eat them
There are benefits to BOTH. The issue is with some, I repeat, SOME, vegans & vegetarians who are dogmatic and toxic towards those who eat meat. I won’t be looked down upon because I choose to eat a chicken wing from time to time.
Dr. Gregor advocates for a Whole Food Plant BASED diet. Vegans can be unhealthy because they eat processed food more than whole foods. I personally have found no benefits to eating meat when I'm not about to starve to death. I base my opinion on 37 years of watching people who eat meat and their health decline versus watching people ADD plants to their diet and they get better (some drastically). Just add more plants into your diet every day and try to vary what you add. It's not too difficult. An occasional chicken wing is no big deal. Eating lots of processed (junk) food every day can kill you over time much faster than a few chicken wings every Tuesday...
This is seriously disturbing
cows eat lots of insects (protein) etc w the grass!.
Less than 0.5%
.05 of what? still a little so not vegetarian
More cherry picked vegan propaganda
how do you explain the people in Hong kong who eat on average 1.5 lbs of animal protein a day and have a lifespan close to 80 complete nonsense
I’d like to learn more about your Hong Kong statement. Can you refer me to a book or website so that I can learn. I’m surprised. I have been to Hong Kong and never would have guessed 1.5 lbs of animal protein/day.
Nonsense.

How was I able to reverse my diabetes, sleep apnea, acid reflux, and skin rash on just carnivore?

Over 2 yrs.
I feel my best
Lost 73 pounds in 8 months when I started.
I'm sorry but I'm confused 😕
Oh and my bathroom moments are wonderful.
I was constipated from to much fiber.
This is misleading
What's your blood work like, what's your cholesterol? Just because you watch one video, you think you've learned everything? You are literally consuming the very thing that Diet is our #1 killer. Where the vast majority of our top killing diseases to boot. Just because animal products don't aggravate you, doesn't mean they've healed you. If you can't eat certain types of plants, it's because you have a problem that needs to be fixed. Have you even looked in to that at all? Just like Simon from Gojiman here on YT has done for thousands of people, you should never have a problem digesting plants. If you do, find out WHY and fix it. If your doctor's have no idea and can't figure it out, you unfortunately need to do it yourself(we need to have more autonomy anyways) through nutritionist's.
You WILL get in to problems. The RE-SEARCH doesn't lie and the evidence is quite extensive. If you don't want to die a horrible death, I highly suggest you do a lot more research so you're not confused over one video.
I eat well over 70grams of fiber a day and have some problems(which I'm going through the process of getting figured out like the thousands before me have). I KNOW that once this process is over, I won't have these problems anymore. Even if I still had problems, it's no where NEAR how bad animal products are for you in the long run. NO WHERE NEAR.
The key is u lost 73 lbs when u started. If you haven't already gained it back, you will, as everyone I know has on keto. Keto was made to be used for 3 weeks max before heart surgery to quickly drop weight but isn't sustainable for a healthy body.
