As this video is reaching more people than usual, let me clarify a few things before you comment: 1. I make videos to help people. I put a lot of work into making fairly comprehensive videos because I know it might improve people’s lives permanently. So far, many have reached out to me and told me that this is the case. 2. I urge you to not leave a comment reacting to the title. To know what the message is, you have to watch the video. The title challenges a widespread nutrition assumption, and I do back the statement in the title up. Not only that, I show the opposite perspective as well. These things are not black and white, and I’m not against vegetable consumption. 3. Constructive criticism helps everyone. It strengthens the community and improves peoples lives. If there’s something you’re unsure about, ask about it instead of dismissing it. I’ll gladly clarify or even admit that I made a mistake. Thank you and take care.
The trend of vegetables came with European peasants who were given some land to grow their food and keep some chickens. They grew some food for animals on a small plot while the king has large swaths of land for the hunt. The Native american ate mostly bison and some seasonal fruits and took care of land in the form of a large natural farm.
I’ve been looking into the carnivore diet a lot lately and I have every intention to try it but this is where is hand when it comes to vegetables & fruits. And this was all inspired by observing bears funnily enough 1. Eat meat as your primary source of food 2. Vegetables historically were used for medical use. If you’re going to eat them do it sparingly, make sure you know how to prepare them properly or eat them fermented (like sauerkraut or kimchi) 3. Most fruits that exist today didn’t exist 200 years ago modern ag has made many more palatable. It’s best to eat locally grown fruit in season. I believe they exist for the sole purpose of fattening us up for winter, same goes for honey (I’m European decent) this would be advantageous in the ice age. 4. Nuts & seeds are main starvation food, they get you by when you’re on your last limb 5. Grains are the food of slaves & peasants historically speaking. I’m personally sold on the beer before bread hypothesis. I think we initially started cultivating them to get intoxicated & figured out the food thing later on 6. Mushrooms (tho not technically a plant) are like vegetables. Historically medicinal (psychedelics) & best eaten thoroughly prepared & sparingly
Marathon runners aren’t *insulin resistant* and they use the carbs up in intense physical activity. The same can’t be said about the average Western diet-eating person who has metabolic dysfunction and horrible gut bacteria that doesn’t handle toxins well.
@@richerDiLefto you burn calories either way, running or stationary. Carbs or fat. Heavy exercise burns more. That's no reason to avoid carbs just because you are sedentary. Insulin resistance comes from obesity. Obese people are regularly cured of their type 2 diabetes by following low fat, high carb diets. The same diet that is optimal for an olympic runner is also optimal for a cubical worker, provided the calories are adjusted. In truth, it is much easier to gain fat from fat than carbs, since denovo lipogenesis is far less efficient than simply storing pre-formed fat. But there must be a calorie surplus in order to do so.
Let's look at Eliud Kipchoge's diet. He eats meat, eggs, lots of starch, and some vegetables as a part of his dishes. I see nothing wrong with this diet. It is appropriate to his athletic endeavors, and lots of primitive tribes follow a similar eating pattern. However, both Eliud and primitive tribes eat lots of animal foods.
its environmental genetics and overall health that determine whether you can tolerate plants. and since most people don't live in their native environment or have been destroyed by the standard American diet and way of living, they can't consume them without feeling inflamed.
The title should be viewed in the context of how modern society sees vegetables. Intelligent use of vegetables in relation to a nutrient-dense, bioavailable diet is a different story. All these things are discussed in the video.
@@ExcellentHealth an interesting comparison "could" be: that of the nutrient density of plants like what cows eat IN THE RESPECTIVE VOLUME to create the nutrient density in meat versus the nutrient density AND availability and anti nutrients/etc as to the amount of plants that people would have to eat to get the equivalent nutrient density... Adding in the effects of fiber as an inflammatory... EDIT: Although this may be best to have "Garland Farms" channel address as he is a very nitty gritty detail oriented channel in regards to such comparisons like "collateral crop deaths"
This might be an unpopular way of looking at it but in my opinion it has a lot to do with your relationship with the food. Most people get addicted to a diet that is high in sugar, high salt, and high in fat from the time they are children. Fruits and vegetables don’t offer much of these.
See that's the thing. Vegetables aren't appealing because they don't offer a lot of nutrition to the human body. Fat-rich animal foods are the most nutrient-dense out there. They're also quantum biologically proven to be the most superior food group.
What are you're thoughts on ghee? Do you think it could provide any medicinal benefit beyond what raw butter has to offer? Also what if there is no raw butter available right now, should i just go for normal pasture raised? I have raw frozen pasture raised beef fat but butter seems a bit better for me right now since i just started thr diet and my bidy seems to have issues transition ing into a diet with that much fat
Ghee is great if you make it yourself using heat that doesn't exceed 37 degrees celsius. Naturally you need to make it with raw butter. If you've unlocked raw animal foods and you have no problems eating raw beef fat, try getting it not frozen and eat it raw. If you're cooking the beef fat, you can go for the butter that isn't raw. If your body can't handle a lot of fat, lower the amount of fat you're eating.
@@ExcellentHealth thank you, is there a way to ferment raw beef fat or trick so that i can store larger amounts? Same question for raw ground beef. I saw a short in which you said that you fermented your ground beef, how do you do that or how do you store your meat in general? I love your videos i learned so much in just a few days. Im very sick and i feel like this diet could really turn my life around. I feel really attracted to raw meat and raw food in general, feels and tastes sooo good 🥰
@@God_of_Bliss Keep it in a low humidity area and with great access to air. Stacking beef fat pieces on top of another usually leads to mold. I don't really ferment the raw ground beef. When I used to buy 20kg at once, some fermentation was inevitable. I'm glad you've learned a lot from the channel, and I'm very happy that you're feeling good on raw foods. However, do not think that nutrition-only approach will heal you. There's far more to health than nutrition. I tell you this so that you can progress 10 times faster. Since you've shared that you're very sick, I do health consultations in case you need personal help. Thought I'd let you know. Take care.
@@ExcellentHealth but how do you store your ground beef, mine starts to smell bad after 3 days. Does the beef fat need some kind of case or plastic around or just on the counter is fine in a low humidity area?
great video, part of what made it good is not going ham on only meat diet or other extremes, even tho raw chicken I deem as extreme but ey, to each his own 🤷♂
I'm glad you liked the video my friend. As for raw fowl, it is only extreme when weighed against modern society's beliefs. Otherwise, there's nothing extreme about it.
Yes, brother, but first of all we need to answer the question whether we really evolved on earth. We know that we are designed to burn carbohydrates, and the fact that we currently have little fruit/good sources of carbohydrates goes hand in hand with the fact that most civilizations declined after the last flood. Please look at the Aztecs and their nixtamilized corn. Almost an ideal source of cereal carbs / apart from fruit, of course. You can add meat to this (although there are a lot of dilemmas with this if you enter into true hermeticism - here, too, there are many indications that humans did not evolve on Earth). An alternative theory, of course, is that cooking grains/vegetables allowed humans to obtain more energy, which resulted in the development of a larger brain.
😂 you actually believe that nonsense? The human brain has decreased in size by a significant amount since the beginning of the agricultural revolution. Look it up. The human brain needs animal fat and cholesterol.
@@Stovetopcookie I've been on keto and I know that my brain doesn't function optimally then. You can't do anything that actually consumes energy on keto. Try taking LSD and when your brain is active at more than about 15%, you already know that the only option to maintain this rocket (the mind then burns a lot of energy) is to eat something very sweet. Or another, more down-to-earth example. Go for some keto interval runs and eat as much fat as you want in the meantime. There is no chance that the body will regenerate its strength from saturated fats or ketones. Then the body itself tells you what is best for it - if you are healthy, you will feel like eating carbohydrates. I will also use general examples, although he does not rely on them = they are more image-forming. For contrast, let's take Ray Peat from Vonderplanitz. Ray scientifically explains what happened to Frank Tufano and many other carnivores. Frank Tufano now eats omelets, pasta and bread. Consider why. The answer is simple - liver/pancreas... our organs, contrary to appearances, are not adapted to live on fat.
What is your opinion on Lactobacillus Reuteri? Is it necessary to ferment our own yogurt/kefir for healthy gut bacteria, or am I just alright on basic keto/carnivore?
that's not how antinutrients work, son. phytic acid has bound to the minerals in the food you eat already. oxalates too. they don't magically bind to the nutrients from meat that you eat. the antinutrients stop absorption of nutrients from the vegetable.
If that's the case, I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing. However, phytic acid is also an enzyme inhibitor, which might make you lose out on minerals regardless.
@@ExcellentHealth if you want to get behind the science of antinutrients and how they work, how much of them is in which food and much more, there's a great study by the university of food technology in plovdiv, bulgaria, covering exactly these things. easy to find on Google scholar and free to read. the biggest mismatch in this information war currently going on for every single topic that exists is that influencers, just like journalists before, can make wild claims, because they read the abstract and the results of a study, but do not understand how the science actually works and which methods of research led to these results. this is not just food, it's anything political, really. divide and conquer over eating food. now, I'm sure in a few centuries time we'll have found out what the optimum diet for humans is, but I'd like my great--great-great-great-grandsons to also be able to pick some cherries from our ancestral cherry tree, that's been here for people before us and those coming after us, making every summer memorable and sweet (and also bloated) yes, plants have side effects. but we have a liver, kidneys, a gut full of bacteria helping us. white blood cells, etc. we're not as fragile as some make us out to be! when you see ripe fruit on a tree, aren't you drawn to it? it's a natural instinct to want some fruits. specifically figs, apricots and plums. all humans find them appealing
@@ExcellentHealth oh and i forgot to answer your second part, sorry i got quite passionate! yes! absolutely. fun fact though: the first few bites, when you start a meal determine through brain signaling which enzymes are sent to your stomach. some scientists recommend therefore starting your meals with your protein, because in protein rich foods is where most nutrients are (meats, eggs, dairy, fish, seafood). Enzyme inhibition is particularly problematic when feeding on a "diverse plate" for example when you have a glass of red wine, veggies, soup, main course, etc. not only do you only release a limited amount of enzymes, but you also inhibit some others. therefore in the future dietary recommendations will probably change and recommend smaller mono-meals, one at a time, rather than a diverse meal. or, if a elimination diet turns out to be optimal, we would maybe just eat meat, for example.
Stop trying to find ways to weasel around the issue. Plants are toxic. Do you want to resolve your problems? stop eating plants. Do you want your problems to continue? keep eating them and tell yourself whatever you want to believe
I would avoid it like the plague. If you want to drink vegetable juices, get organic celery, juice it yourself, drink it, and evaluate how it affected you.
If you insist on drinking celery juice, make sure it’s organic. If you drink the non-organic kind, you’re getting concentrated pesticides, as they’re one of the “dirty dozen” that gets affected by them the most.
Before they became modernized, i.e. when Weston A. Price was able to visit them, that was the case. Nowadays it's different because many of the factors that affect the western world are present in their environments.
There’s a video of a westerner talking with a Maasai man about the Maasai man’s father. His father had easily had a child at 81 years old I believe. Today, the Maasai are modernized, yet they’re still doing stuff like this.
Loved the video ended up watching the entire thing, i was wondering i have limited starches during the day because it makes me feel lethargic but i still eat Rice/Pasta or bread at dinner what are your thoughts on these foods ? Thank you very much
I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Glad to have you here my friend. There are two main things you need to consider: 1. What are you eating the starch with? Eating starch with meat is usually a problem 2. Are these starches free of pesticides? Do they come from good soils? It's not about the food itself nowadays, it's about the quality.
I have heard that oxalates are a problem becuase modern society consumes low magnesium and in a person who has highly bioavailable consumption of magnesium, that wouldn't be a problem. Thoughts on that? Also about the spit, i noticed that higher sweetness as well, since i do that in some circumstances, never crossedmy mind this could be related to anti nutrient destruction, but defo makes sense!
This goes back to tolerance. If you're healthy, you must be getting enough magnesium. If you're getting enough magnesium, you can probably handle oxalates better.
@Stovetopcookie eating more meat to cure health problems is a belief held by the carnivore community. First, health isn't nutrition, but nutrition is one part of health. You cannot address health problems through nutrition only. Second, there are different kinds of meat from different animals. You need to know what to consume based on the problems you're facing.
They don't really need to since dairy and meat are heavily intertwined with most of the food people consume. The meat and dairy industry rely on factory farming as opposed to regenerative agriculture, making them an enemy of those who care about health.
@@ango586 No such thing as "balance" diet. You are not walking on a string to "balance" like a clown for entertainment. We should be eating Species specific diet. There are not fat animals. unless a human is messing up the diet of that animal. But you can easily find over weight humans b eating a "balanced" diet.
Pretty good video but you forgot about one thing. Diabetes. Diabetes by definition is chronically elevated blood glucose. How do you get diabetes? By eating carbs for years and years. All of those mechanisms like moving after eating carbs etc applies, and will slow down development but ultimately if you eat carbs and especially if you have other unhealthy habits, you gonna develop diabetes.
I disagree in the notion of carbohydrate consumption leading to diabetes. All the starch-eating primitive people have no prevalence of diabetes whatsoever, and they eat lots of carbs. I believe several factors contribute to diabetes. One of them can be processed carbohydrates.
@@ExcellentHealth you can disagree but it doesn't make it right. Also these "primitive" people move much more than average 1st world country citizen, and it makes a big difference of insulin spikes and how much metabolic damage it does to your cells.
What do you think about the daily recommended values of potassium and magnesium? Do you think we need that much potassium and magnesium? It seems very difficult to get that much on an animal-based diet.
I was vegan for many years and was boastful of having no mucus. I am primal now and I get bouts of mucus and I see it positively that my body is able to remove what is not needed. Another cleaning channel.
It isnt just vegetables, its in fruit aswelll... And NO, it's not ok ''because theres less'' fruit is every bit as harmful as veggies, and in some cases more....
Maybe I should've specified that out of the fruits and vegetables humans generally consume, fruits are far safer. If you compare the antinutrients in apples, oranges, and coconuts to spinach, kale, and Brussels sprouts, the point I make in the video becomes clear.
In fact, citrus fruits, for example, cause a lot of allergies. It should be borne in mind that most fruits have been genetically modified to obtain their size and sugar content. However, look at the indigenous tribal civilizations. Apart from the fruit/honey portion, they did not rely on fruit but focused on the carbohydrate source from potatoes/cereals, which were appropriately cooked/fermented before consumption.
@ExcellentHealth ah, I see, but didn't on the first listen. But really, thanks for adding another voice to the growing "our current policies regarding nutrition are terrible and need overhauled" movement, we need a many as we can get, hopefully enough to make meaningful change by the time the 2025 guidelines (in the United States) are rolled out.
Judging by how prevalent raw meat is in various cuisines, it probably does taste good. Japan, Korea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, the Inuit, the Nenet, and various people in the Caucasus region eat lots of raw meat.
It seems silly because most people learned that vegetables are healthy when they were young. It's an assumption no one really investigates. I think the points I make are helpful, even if you don't want to change your mind.
@@ExcellentHealth Very few claims in health & nutrition are less controversial than "veggies are healthy" (in terms of amount of evidence) Plants are great, animal protein is great, carbs are great. Being in caloric surplus for extended periods of time and accumulating visceral fat is bad. Why complicate things.
Diets rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains are associated with decreased risk of cancer. Doesn't matter if you identified 1000 carcinogens in them or not.
Correct. Such findings shouldn't be surprising to anyone. People who eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are far more health conscious than the rest of the population, meaning they're doing many great things for their health. They're moving more, smoking less, drinking less, etc. They probably choose organic more often than not, and they certainly eat far less junk food than the rest of the population. The conclusion of such studies is correct, but the foods themselves aren't necessarily preventing cancer.
Who did the studies that say fruit, vegetables, and whole grains are associated with decreased risk of cancer?😂 The same corporations that make money off selling you these pseudo foods to poison you. Whole grains have more carcinogens in them, and they have the carbohydrates that feeds tumors; fructose is a bomb for the liver.
I have eaten handfuls of apricot seeds and am still alive. Supposedly more cyanide than almonds. At least you are consistent in your avoidance of plants and don’t even wear a shirt.
It may be that your gut synthesises less of the amygdalin in apricot seeds to cyanide or potentially you’re more resistant to cyanide than average person. There are people who have been poisoned by like 15grams of it and kids even less but for it to kill, you’d have to consume an unusual amount for most people since human bodies usually detoxify it to an extent if you don’t eat too much, though of course some people are more immune. It’s like, I used to eat insanely spicy peppers (still wanna do ghost chilli challenge lol) and not feel much side effects on the stool, but my friend eats a tiny bit and gets stomach ache and has to go to bathroom. And I again loved eating raw onions but most my friends said they couldn’t eat raw onions (I’d eat it whole like an apple no problem) but my friends said they’d have stomach aches when they eat raw onions plus they would tear up significantly more to raw onions whereas I’d be eating it with no tears in my eyes. I do think it’s about being used to it as well, since I was brought up eating spicy peppers as a kid so may have got my body to be more resistant, same with onions, it was common to just eat a raw onion as a snack but if I tried now after doing carnivore diet for 5 months, maybe I’ll find my resistance has gone down and my body may need to get used to it again.
It comes back to tolerance and my point about smokers who are centenarians. The cyanide didn't do you good, even if you have a high enough tolerance to handle it.
Yeah talk about all the fringe hypothesized mechanisms you want, people who eat mostly organic plant based food still live the longest, always have, always will.
@@ExcellentHealth @ExcellentHealth why should I? What a pseudo-argument ... I can show you populations, large cohorts, well studied cohorts that eat a lot of plants and live very long. I'm not advocating veganism, we should eat a varied diet, I'm just challenging this absurd notion that plants cause harm. What harm? Where can we see it? Can we see this harm in the Mediterranean region? In East Asia? It is pretty well established, based on the study of millions of people over long periods of time, that a balanced Mediterranean diet leads to a long and healthy life. People who eat a lot of plants live long and healthy lives. Simple as that. Please find me a cohort study that shows otherwise.
Isolated and primitive does not equal healthy. On the contrary, humans in modern societies live twice as long. Not only that, but even if you can find some way that primitive societies are healthier than modern ones, you are biased in that you're just pinning it on vegetables. That is idiotic beyond belief.
@@TizBaz5Having a higher life expectancy doesn't necessarily mean you live healthier. There are many factors at play, such as predators and access to medical facilities. Most tribes' life expectancy would increase significantly if you removed predators and gave them the same medical care we have; in fact, they might live longer than us. Secondly, vegetables aren't the only factors; exercise and long sitting hours also impact health.
@@TizBaz5 You'd have to read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price to understand whether primitive and isolated tribes are healthier than us or not. If you believe I've pinned their health outcomes on avoiding vegetables, you haven't watched the video. I defend their vegetable consumption in the video.
Ok plants contain hundreds of carcinogens but most of these are also carcinogenic to herbivorous animals. What do you suggest cows eat? Feed and forages contain agents that are carcinogenic to cows 😂 Let’s feed them meat 🤡 You see, arguing about nutrition with Logic alone is ridiculous. Instead, focus on scientific data, especially human clinical trials.
@@nicolaspirlet The logic has to make sense my friend. As I said in the beginning, herbivorous animals and plants have been in an arms race for hundreds of millions of years. Antinutrients aren't universal-they're specific to a certain species. The antinutrients in grass are only antinutrients to a human, not a cow. Grass is the least toxic food to a cow because it is built to eat grass.
@@ExcellentHealth Listen, I’m probably not going to make you abandon your entire paradigm in a couple of comments since you clearly are convinced enough to open a RUclips channel devoted to defending it. My point is that taking logical leaps when arguing about nutrition is a risky approach because nutrition is a complex and multifaceted science. Relying solely on logic without thorough scientific evidence can lead to misunderstandings and oversimplifications. Basing your dietary regimen on what we were supposedly “built” to eat-“evolved eating” would be a more appropriate term-is not a good idea for several reasons. It’s an appeal to nature fallacy, which assumes that what is natural is inherently better, but this isn’t always the case. Additionally, many of the animals we ate in the past don’t exist anymore, making it difficult to replicate ancient diets accurately. Our knowledge is based on fossils, and animal food consumption is probably being overestimated due to preservation bias (animal bones preserve better than plant remains), nitrogen isotope overprint (which can mask plant consumption when analyzing dietary remains), and selective recovery (archaeological methods might favor finding animal remains over plant remains).
1. I don't follow a paradigm. I make these videos to help people navigate a confusing topic. 2. I understand your concern, and I assure you that I do not just rely on logic to draw conclusions. I'm not sure if you watched the video, but I present several studies. I also use anthropology, chemistry, and biology. 3. It's not an appeal to nature fallacy. We're designed a certain way, and that design comes from nature. 4. Humans all across the world don't have access to the same animals. There isn't one specific species appropriate diet for humans. Rather, whatever animals as well as edible plants we find in our current environment is what we eat. 5. Animal food consumption isn't being overestimated because we've already observed the nutrition of hunter gatherers during the last 100 years. The main modern example we have available to us is the Hadza, and they mainly eat meat. Weston A. Price documented the diets of many isolated and primitive tribes, and all of them ate a diet heavy in animal foods.
@@ExcellentHealth I’ll grant you points 1 and 2 since I only watched this video and don’t know the full scope of your content. However, determining what people should eat based on nature is by definition an appeal to nature. This fallacy assumes something is better simply because it is natural, without providing rational justification. Also, implying that we were « designed a certain way » is a poorly chosen expression. Design implies the presence of a mind, purpose and planning. And this typically shows your reasoning is based on an appeal to nature. Nature is not an agent and doesn’t have a mind. We merely evolved eating certain foods that were accessible in nature. And that fact alone doesn’t tell us any indication on wether they are good for us or not. Doing so is taking a logical leap. I agree with point 4. Regarding point 5 however, the fact that it can be observed that isolated modern tribes eat a diet that is heavy in meat doesn’t tell us anything about how ancient humans ate. You’re taking a logical leap again. Read this paper published last year: « Isotopic evidence of high reliance on plant food among Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers at Taforalt, Morocco ». Iberomaurusian humans had a pronounced plant-based diet with a trophic level of around 2.4. In comparison, barbary sheeps had one of 2.1. Natufians also increased their reliance on plant foods over time. Now should we conclude that modern Morrocans should eat a plant-heavy diet solely based on the fact that their ancestors did 22.000 to 10.000 years ago? Absolutely not. That would also be taking a logical leap.
Now tell me, can you hunt a wild animal with bare hands? To me, looks like humans have very different features than a carnivore especially teeth and maxilla structure. Besides, humans can barely bite raw meat, but can't eat something like a cat like ripping the fur skin to get to the meat. All I know is that I can grab a fruit from a tree and catch some type of fishes if I'm really lucky (and these ones I could somehow bite or eat).
Just like beavers build dams and birds build nests, humans build tools that they hunt with. We can bite raw meat quite easily. I've been doing so for more than 4.5 years now. Then again, we've eaten what's in our environment. Some groups of people have been heavily reliant on seafood.
@@ExcellentHealth Beavers and birds also catch their food by their own, unhelped by instruments. You can bite raw meat from the supermarket and locals (domesticated animals), but I'm pretty sure you never tried to eat a live cat by ripping the fur and crushing her body with your own teeth (as any carnivore would do - because they have the correct teeth and force to do so). I only agree on seafood, that is a meat that can be eaten by humans, anytime is available.
Well that's the distinguishing factor between humans and other carnivores. We're able to consume larger animals because we have tools. Other animals also use tools to gather food: "Chimpanzees are humanity's closest living relatives, and apparently learned how to make and use tools long ago without human help, with stone hammers found at a chimp settlement in the Ivory Coast dating back 4,300 years. They are even capable of making spears to hunt other primates for meat, and are known to have developed specialized tool kits for foraging army ants." Just because we cannot use our hands and teeth to kill and butcher a ruminant animal doesn't mean that we haven't done so for hundreds of thousands of years.

This might be an unpopular way of looking at it but in my opinion it has a lot to do with your relationship with the food. Most people get addicted to a diet that is high in sugar, high salt, and high in fat from the time they are children. Fruits and vegetables don’t offer much of these.
See that's the thing. Vegetables aren't appealing because they don't offer a lot of nutrition to the human body. Fat-rich animal foods are the most nutrient-dense out there. They're also quantum biologically proven to be the most superior food group.
Verry great video! Still the best health Channel out there.
@@Jonathan-jr7mm Thank you Jonathan. I'm glad the video was helpful.
What are you're thoughts on ghee? Do you think it could provide any medicinal benefit beyond what raw butter has to offer? Also what if there is no raw butter available right now, should i just go for normal pasture raised? I have raw frozen pasture raised beef fat but butter seems a bit better for me right now since i just started thr diet and my bidy seems to have issues transition ing into a diet with that much fat
Ghee is great if you make it yourself using heat that doesn't exceed 37 degrees celsius. Naturally you need to make it with raw butter. If you've unlocked raw animal foods and you have no problems eating raw beef fat, try getting it not frozen and eat it raw. If you're cooking the beef fat, you can go for the butter that isn't raw. If your body can't handle a lot of fat, lower the amount of fat you're eating.
@@ExcellentHealth thank you, is there a way to ferment raw beef fat or trick so that i can store larger amounts? Same question for raw ground beef. I saw a short in which you said that you fermented your ground beef, how do you do that or how do you store your meat in general? I love your videos i learned so much in just a few days. Im very sick and i feel like this diet could really turn my life around. I feel really attracted to raw meat and raw food in general, feels and tastes sooo good 🥰
@@God_of_Bliss Keep it in a low humidity area and with great access to air. Stacking beef fat pieces on top of another usually leads to mold. I don't really ferment the raw ground beef. When I used to buy 20kg at once, some fermentation was inevitable.
I'm glad you've learned a lot from the channel, and I'm very happy that you're feeling good on raw foods. However, do not think that nutrition-only approach will heal you. There's far more to health than nutrition. I tell you this so that you can progress 10 times faster. Since you've shared that you're very sick, I do health consultations in case you need personal help. Thought I'd let you know. Take care.
@@ExcellentHealth but how do you store your ground beef, mine starts to smell bad after 3 days. Does the beef fat need some kind of case or plastic around or just on the counter is fine in a low humidity area?
Great Video as always. Thank you Mr. Excellent Health
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you Chris.
Very thorough, looking forward to checking out the rest of your content
Glad to have you here my friend.
Anthony is the man ❤
Thanks, a few very interesting points that I have not heard before :)
Thank you for watching. Glad to have you here.
What do u think about garlic
great video, part of what made it good is not going ham on only meat diet or other extremes, even tho raw chicken I deem as extreme but ey, to each his own 🤷♂
I'm glad you liked the video my friend. As for raw fowl, it is only extreme when weighed against modern society's beliefs. Otherwise, there's nothing extreme about it.
Yes, brother, but first of all we need to answer the question whether we really evolved on earth. We know that we are designed to burn carbohydrates, and the fact that we currently have little fruit/good sources of carbohydrates goes hand in hand with the fact that most civilizations declined after the last flood. Please look at the Aztecs and their nixtamilized corn. Almost an ideal source of cereal carbs / apart from fruit, of course. You can add meat to this (although there are a lot of dilemmas with this if you enter into true hermeticism - here, too, there are many indications that humans did not evolve on Earth). An alternative theory, of course, is that cooking grains/vegetables allowed humans to obtain more energy, which resulted in the development of a larger brain.
i lost braincells reading this ngl
I actually agree
😂 you actually believe that nonsense? The human brain has decreased in size by a significant amount since the beginning of the agricultural revolution. Look it up. The human brain needs animal fat and cholesterol.
Carbohydrates are burned, primarily as a method of detoxification not because they are a preferred fuel source
@@Stovetopcookie I've been on keto and I know that my brain doesn't function optimally then. You can't do anything that actually consumes energy on keto. Try taking LSD and when your brain is active at more than about 15%, you already know that the only option to maintain this rocket (the mind then burns a lot of energy) is to eat something very sweet. Or another, more down-to-earth example. Go for some keto interval runs and eat as much fat as you want in the meantime. There is no chance that the body will regenerate its strength from saturated fats or ketones. Then the body itself tells you what is best for it - if you are healthy, you will feel like eating carbohydrates. I will also use general examples, although he does not rely on them = they are more image-forming. For contrast, let's take Ray Peat from Vonderplanitz. Ray scientifically explains what happened to Frank Tufano and many other carnivores. Frank Tufano now eats omelets, pasta and bread. Consider why. The answer is simple - liver/pancreas... our organs, contrary to appearances, are not adapted to live on fat.
What is your opinion on Lactobacillus Reuteri? Is it necessary to ferment our own yogurt/kefir for healthy gut bacteria, or am I just alright on basic keto/carnivore?
The raw milk video that releases in a few days will have the answer. The bacteria video I made already does.
that's not how antinutrients work, son.
phytic acid has bound to the minerals in the food you eat already. oxalates too.
they don't magically bind to the nutrients from meat that you eat.
the antinutrients stop absorption of nutrients from the vegetable.
If that's the case, I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing. However, phytic acid is also an enzyme inhibitor, which might make you lose out on minerals regardless.
@@ExcellentHealth if you want to get behind the science of antinutrients and how they work, how much of them is in which food and much more, there's a great study by the university of food technology in plovdiv, bulgaria, covering exactly these things. easy to find on Google scholar and free to read.
the biggest mismatch in this information war currently going on for every single topic that exists is that influencers, just like journalists before, can make wild claims, because they read the abstract and the results of a study, but do not understand how the science actually works and which methods of research led to these results. this is not just food, it's anything political, really.
divide and conquer over eating food.
now, I'm sure in a few centuries time we'll have found out what the optimum diet for humans is, but I'd like my great--great-great-great-grandsons to also be able to pick some cherries from our ancestral cherry tree, that's been here for people before us and those coming after us, making every summer memorable and sweet (and also bloated) yes, plants have side effects. but we have a liver, kidneys, a gut full of bacteria helping us. white blood cells, etc.
we're not as fragile as some make us out to be! when you see ripe fruit on a tree, aren't you drawn to it? it's a natural instinct to want some fruits. specifically figs, apricots and plums. all humans find them appealing
@@ExcellentHealth oh and i forgot to answer your second part, sorry i got quite passionate! yes! absolutely. fun fact though: the first few bites, when you start a meal determine through brain signaling which enzymes are sent to your stomach. some scientists recommend therefore starting your meals with your protein, because in protein rich foods is where most nutrients are (meats, eggs, dairy, fish, seafood). Enzyme inhibition is particularly problematic when feeding on a "diverse plate" for example when you have a glass of red wine, veggies, soup, main course, etc.
not only do you only release a limited amount of enzymes, but you also inhibit some others.
therefore in the future dietary recommendations will probably change and recommend smaller mono-meals, one at a time, rather than a diverse meal.
or, if a elimination diet turns out to be optimal, we would maybe just eat meat, for example.
What if the vegetable juice like celery and others are “pasteurized” 100% juice labeled.
Pasteurization just increases the shelf life. It has no effect on the plant toxins. Celery juice is very high in oxalates.
@@jeffferguson2598 I used to get the glass bottle fruit juices long time ago. Cold press is hard to find only certain ones
Stop trying to find ways to weasel around the issue. Plants are toxic. Do you want to resolve your problems? stop eating plants. Do you want your problems to continue? keep eating them and tell yourself whatever you want to believe
I would avoid it like the plague. If you want to drink vegetable juices, get organic celery, juice it yourself, drink it, and evaluate how it affected you.
If you insist on drinking celery juice, make sure it’s organic. If you drink the non-organic kind, you’re getting concentrated pesticides, as they’re one of the “dirty dozen” that gets affected by them the most.
So populations who are mainly carnivore (Masai, Inuit) have long life expectancy and great health?
Before they became modernized, i.e. when Weston A. Price was able to visit them, that was the case. Nowadays it's different because many of the factors that affect the western world are present in their environments.
@@ExcellentHealth So Masais and Inuits used to live well into their 90s ?
There’s a video of a westerner talking with a Maasai man about the Maasai man’s father. His father had easily had a child at 81 years old I believe. Today, the Maasai are modernized, yet they’re still doing stuff like this.
Loved the video ended up watching the entire thing, i was wondering i have limited starches during the day because it makes me feel lethargic but i still eat Rice/Pasta or bread at dinner what are your thoughts on these foods ? Thank you very much
I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Glad to have you here my friend. There are two main things you need to consider: 1. What are you eating the starch with? Eating starch with meat is usually a problem 2. Are these starches free of pesticides? Do they come from good soils? It's not about the food itself nowadays, it's about the quality.
I have heard that oxalates are a problem becuase modern society consumes low magnesium and in a person who has highly bioavailable consumption of magnesium, that wouldn't be a problem. Thoughts on that?
Also about the spit, i noticed that higher sweetness as well, since i do that in some circumstances, never crossedmy mind this could be related to anti nutrient destruction, but defo makes sense!
Don’t overthink it. Just eat more meat. And your problems will go away
@@Stovetopcookie fair enough
@@HBC26 The same as eating more fiber to counter carbohydrates. Nobody seems to stop and ask why eat them in the first place.
This goes back to tolerance. If you're healthy, you must be getting enough magnesium. If you're getting enough magnesium, you can probably handle oxalates better.
@Stovetopcookie eating more meat to cure health problems is a belief held by the carnivore community. First, health isn't nutrition, but nutrition is one part of health. You cannot address health problems through nutrition only. Second, there are different kinds of meat from different animals. You need to know what to consume based on the problems you're facing.
And meat dairy industry says blood and fat are great 😂😂
They don't really need to since dairy and meat are heavily intertwined with most of the food people consume. The meat and dairy industry rely on factory farming as opposed to regenerative agriculture, making them an enemy of those who care about health.
@@ExcellentHealth so are oil sugar grain and fruits
@@ango586 correct, which means that our entire modern food chain needs fixing.
@@ExcellentHealth balancing yes not extremes
@@ango586 No such thing as "balance" diet. You are not walking on a string to "balance" like a clown for entertainment. We should be eating Species specific diet. There are not fat animals. unless a human is messing up the diet of that animal. But you can easily find over weight humans b eating a "balanced" diet.
Pretty good video but you forgot about one thing. Diabetes. Diabetes by definition is chronically elevated blood glucose. How do you get diabetes? By eating carbs for years and years. All of those mechanisms like moving after eating carbs etc applies, and will slow down development but ultimately if you eat carbs and especially if you have other unhealthy habits, you gonna develop diabetes.
I disagree in the notion of carbohydrate consumption leading to diabetes. All the starch-eating primitive people have no prevalence of diabetes whatsoever, and they eat lots of carbs. I believe several factors contribute to diabetes. One of them can be processed carbohydrates.
@@ExcellentHealth you can disagree but it doesn't make it right. Also these "primitive" people move much more than average 1st world country citizen, and it makes a big difference of insulin spikes and how much metabolic damage it does to your cells.
I 100% agree with you. Carbohydrate consumption should be in relation to movement.
What do you think about the daily recommended values of potassium and magnesium? Do you think we need that much potassium and magnesium? It seems very difficult to get that much on an animal-based diet.
I don't worry about the RDA for them. The way you understand if you're getting enough of both is through a blood test.
@@ExcellentHealth Thanks a lot, bro. Now I will do a blood test.
Where u get that shirt ?
Dressmann
Do you see mucus as a positive thing?
100%. However, if its cause comes from some factor that's making you less healthy, you might want to see what to do about it.
I was vegan for many years and was boastful of having no mucus. I am primal now and I get bouts of mucus and I see it positively that my body is able to remove what is not needed. Another cleaning channel.
Very nice video.
Mixing olive oil with raw meat ? Yes or no ? 😅
You can do so, but make sure you're digesting it well.
Hello, did you read the book of varis ahmad (about bio vitality and living plant foods?
I have not, but I have read other books of his.
It isnt just vegetables, its in fruit aswelll... And NO, it's not ok ''because theres less'' fruit is every bit as harmful as veggies, and in some cases more....
Maybe I should've specified that out of the fruits and vegetables humans generally consume, fruits are far safer. If you compare the antinutrients in apples, oranges, and coconuts to spinach, kale, and Brussels sprouts, the point I make in the video becomes clear.
In fact, citrus fruits, for example, cause a lot of allergies. It should be borne in mind that most fruits have been genetically modified to obtain their size and sugar content. However, look at the indigenous tribal civilizations. Apart from the fruit/honey portion, they did not rely on fruit but focused on the carbohydrate source from potatoes/cereals, which were appropriately cooked/fermented before consumption.
@@ExcellentHealth truthfully it doesn't matter, the fruit still isnt good. Its damaging.
Based AF my man
Where do you get purchase ur meat and butter
Check out frankies free range meats
Is eating commercial meat raw safe or not ?
Highly dependent on the commercial meat. If it's low quality in general, it won't make you healthy. Doesn't matter if you eat it cooked or raw.
23:30 great information, but Galileo was not executed. History is my more my beat.
I added some text to correct my statement. You're absolutely correct. Thank you for watching my friend.
@ExcellentHealth ah, I see, but didn't on the first listen.
But really, thanks for adding another voice to the growing "our current policies regarding nutrition are terrible and need overhauled" movement, we need a many as we can get, hopefully enough to make meaningful change by the time the 2025 guidelines (in the United States) are rolled out.
I eat carrot and potatoes is that bad?
I'd peel the carrots and I wouldn't eat them close to any meat meal. White potatoes are fine if you peel them.
lol. This cult is psycho.
I've made this video to help people understand a fairly confusing topic. That's all.
why are you showing tomatoes and aubergines on the thumbnail? those are fruits
I had the idea of making a rainbow of vegetables, so I includes them since they’re on the savory side.
They are night shades, so contain solanine. And tomatoes tomatine i thought.
What do you think of bananas?
Eat them if they’re local.
@@ExcellentHealth thabks bro i always wanna recommend u a channel its called a the prison called life
New full day of eating?
We'll see
Raw meat tastes good ? Is that implied in the video ?
Judging by how prevalent raw meat is in various cuisines, it probably does taste good. Japan, Korea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, the Inuit, the Nenet, and various people in the Caucasus region eat lots of raw meat.
Hi Jesus
Hello
The silliest video title I've seen in a while
It seems silly because most people learned that vegetables are healthy when they were young. It's an assumption no one really investigates. I think the points I make are helpful, even if you don't want to change your mind.
@@ExcellentHealth Very few claims in health & nutrition are less controversial than "veggies are healthy" (in terms of amount of evidence)
Plants are great, animal protein is great, carbs are great.
Being in caloric surplus for extended periods of time and accumulating visceral fat is bad.
Why complicate things.
@@ExcellentHealth Scientists investigate the health benefits of vegetables all the time, everyday, every second...
Diets rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains are associated with decreased risk of cancer. Doesn't matter if you identified 1000 carcinogens in them or not.
Correct. Such findings shouldn't be surprising to anyone. People who eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are far more health conscious than the rest of the population, meaning they're doing many great things for their health. They're moving more, smoking less, drinking less, etc. They probably choose organic more often than not, and they certainly eat far less junk food than the rest of the population. The conclusion of such studies is correct, but the foods themselves aren't necessarily preventing cancer.
Who did the studies that say fruit, vegetables, and whole grains are associated with decreased risk of cancer?😂 The same corporations that make money off selling you these pseudo foods to poison you. Whole grains have more carcinogens in them, and they have the carbohydrates that feeds tumors; fructose is a bomb for the liver.
I have eaten handfuls of apricot seeds and am still alive. Supposedly more cyanide than almonds.
At least you are consistent in your avoidance of plants and don’t even wear a shirt.
It may be that your gut synthesises less of the amygdalin in apricot seeds to cyanide or potentially you’re more resistant to cyanide than average person.
There are people who have been poisoned by like 15grams of it and kids even less but for it to kill, you’d have to consume an unusual amount for most people since human bodies usually detoxify it to an extent if you don’t eat too much, though of course some people are more immune.
It’s like, I used to eat insanely spicy peppers (still wanna do ghost chilli challenge lol) and not feel much side effects on the stool, but my friend eats a tiny bit and gets stomach ache and has to go to bathroom. And I again loved eating raw onions but most my friends said they couldn’t eat raw onions (I’d eat it whole like an apple no problem) but my friends said they’d have stomach aches when they eat raw onions plus they would tear up significantly more to raw onions whereas I’d be eating it with no tears in my eyes.
I do think it’s about being used to it as well, since I was brought up eating spicy peppers as a kid so may have got my body to be more resistant, same with onions, it was common to just eat a raw onion as a snack but if I tried now after doing carnivore diet for 5 months, maybe I’ll find my resistance has gone down and my body may need to get used to it again.
It comes back to tolerance and my point about smokers who are centenarians. The cyanide didn't do you good, even if you have a high enough tolerance to handle it.
Yeah talk about all the fringe hypothesized mechanisms you want, people who eat mostly organic plant based food still live the longest, always have, always will.
Find me a single isolated or primitive tribe that is mostly plant based.
@@ExcellentHealth @ExcellentHealth why should I? What a pseudo-argument ... I can show you populations, large cohorts, well studied cohorts that eat a lot of plants and live very long. I'm not advocating veganism, we should eat a varied diet, I'm just challenging this absurd notion that plants cause harm. What harm? Where can we see it? Can we see this harm in the Mediterranean region? In East Asia? It is pretty well established, based on the study of millions of people over long periods of time, that a balanced Mediterranean diet leads to a long and healthy life. People who eat a lot of plants live long and healthy lives. Simple as that. Please find me a cohort study that shows otherwise.
Isolated and primitive does not equal healthy. On the contrary, humans in modern societies live twice as long. Not only that, but even if you can find some way that primitive societies are healthier than modern ones, you are biased in that you're just pinning it on vegetables. That is idiotic beyond belief.
@@TizBaz5Having a higher life expectancy doesn't necessarily mean you live healthier. There are many factors at play, such as predators and access to medical facilities. Most tribes' life expectancy would increase significantly if you removed predators and gave them the same medical care we have; in fact, they might live longer than us. Secondly, vegetables aren't the only factors; exercise and long sitting hours also impact health.
@@TizBaz5 You'd have to read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price to understand whether primitive and isolated tribes are healthier than us or not. If you believe I've pinned their health outcomes on avoiding vegetables, you haven't watched the video. I defend their vegetable consumption in the video.
Ok plants contain hundreds of carcinogens but most of these are also carcinogenic to herbivorous animals. What do you suggest cows eat? Feed and forages contain agents that are carcinogenic to cows 😂 Let’s feed them meat 🤡
You see, arguing about nutrition with Logic alone is ridiculous. Instead, focus on scientific data, especially human clinical trials.
@@nicolaspirlet The logic has to make sense my friend. As I said in the beginning, herbivorous animals and plants have been in an arms race for hundreds of millions of years. Antinutrients aren't universal-they're specific to a certain species. The antinutrients in grass are only antinutrients to a human, not a cow. Grass is the least toxic food to a cow because it is built to eat grass.
@@ExcellentHealth Listen, I’m probably not going to make you abandon your entire paradigm in a couple of comments since you clearly are convinced enough to open a RUclips channel devoted to defending it.
My point is that taking logical leaps when arguing about nutrition is a risky approach because nutrition is a complex and multifaceted science. Relying solely on logic without thorough scientific evidence can lead to misunderstandings and oversimplifications.
Basing your dietary regimen on what we were supposedly “built” to eat-“evolved eating” would be a more appropriate term-is not a good idea for several reasons. It’s an appeal to nature fallacy, which assumes that what is natural is inherently better, but this isn’t always the case. Additionally, many of the animals we ate in the past don’t exist anymore, making it difficult to replicate ancient diets accurately. Our knowledge is based on fossils, and animal food consumption is probably being overestimated due to preservation bias (animal bones preserve better than plant remains), nitrogen isotope overprint (which can mask plant consumption when analyzing dietary remains), and selective recovery (archaeological methods might favor finding animal remains over plant remains).
1. I don't follow a paradigm. I make these videos to help people navigate a confusing topic.
2. I understand your concern, and I assure you that I do not just rely on logic to draw conclusions. I'm not sure if you watched the video, but I present several studies. I also use anthropology, chemistry, and biology.
3. It's not an appeal to nature fallacy. We're designed a certain way, and that design comes from nature.
4. Humans all across the world don't have access to the same animals. There isn't one specific species appropriate diet for humans. Rather, whatever animals as well as edible plants we find in our current environment is what we eat.
5. Animal food consumption isn't being overestimated because we've already observed the nutrition of hunter gatherers during the last 100 years. The main modern example we have available to us is the Hadza, and they mainly eat meat. Weston A. Price documented the diets of many isolated and primitive tribes, and all of them ate a diet heavy in animal foods.
@@ExcellentHealth I’ll grant you points 1 and 2 since I only watched this video and don’t know the full scope of your content.
However, determining what people should eat based on nature is by definition an appeal to nature. This fallacy assumes something is better simply because it is natural, without providing rational justification.
Also, implying that we were « designed a certain way » is a poorly chosen expression. Design implies the presence of a mind, purpose and planning. And this typically shows your reasoning is based on an appeal to nature. Nature is not an agent and doesn’t have a mind. We merely evolved eating certain foods that were accessible in nature. And that fact alone doesn’t tell us any indication on wether they are good for us or not. Doing so is taking a logical leap.
I agree with point 4.
Regarding point 5 however, the fact that it can be observed that isolated modern tribes eat a diet that is heavy in meat doesn’t tell us anything about how ancient humans ate. You’re taking a logical leap again.
Read this paper published last year: « Isotopic evidence of high reliance on plant food among Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers at Taforalt, Morocco ».
Iberomaurusian humans had a pronounced plant-based diet with a trophic level of around 2.4. In comparison, barbary sheeps had one of 2.1. Natufians also increased their reliance on plant foods over time.
Now should we conclude that modern Morrocans should eat a plant-heavy diet solely based on the fact that their ancestors did 22.000 to 10.000 years ago? Absolutely not. That would also be taking a logical leap.
Now tell me, can you hunt a wild animal with bare hands?
To me, looks like humans have very different features than a carnivore especially teeth and maxilla structure. Besides, humans can barely bite raw meat, but can't eat something like a cat like ripping the fur skin to get to the meat.
All I know is that I can grab a fruit from a tree and catch some type of fishes if I'm really lucky (and these ones I could somehow bite or eat).
Just like beavers build dams and birds build nests, humans build tools that they hunt with. We can bite raw meat quite easily. I've been doing so for more than 4.5 years now. Then again, we've eaten what's in our environment. Some groups of people have been heavily reliant on seafood.
@@ExcellentHealth Beavers and birds also catch their food by their own, unhelped by instruments. You can bite raw meat from the supermarket and locals (domesticated animals), but I'm pretty sure you never tried to eat a live cat by ripping the fur and crushing her body with your own teeth (as any carnivore would do - because they have the correct teeth and force to do so).
I only agree on seafood, that is a meat that can be eaten by humans, anytime is available.
Well that's the distinguishing factor between humans and other carnivores. We're able to consume larger animals because we have tools. Other animals also use tools to gather food:
"Chimpanzees are humanity's closest living relatives, and apparently learned how to make and use tools long ago without human help, with stone hammers found at a chimp settlement in the Ivory Coast dating back 4,300 years. They are even capable of making spears to hunt other primates for meat, and are known to have developed specialized tool kits for foraging army ants."
Just because we cannot use our hands and teeth to kill and butcher a ruminant animal doesn't mean that we haven't done so for hundreds of thousands of years.
