Keep doing all the work you are doing. This kind of information changes lives!!! I’ve lost 66 pounds on a mostly Whole Foods vegan diet. But what has really impacted me is your information on how lifestyle factors play such a huge role in life extension. My 70 year old mother is moving in with me and I told her “we’ve just extended our lifespans by not living alone.” Now I need to find community groups she can join for all the cognitive benefits of socializing. I think I might even start a Facebook group to connect active seniors in my area for walks or other outings!!
I’ve read all the “plant based” books and yours is the best. It makes it so simple. I took the helpful to harmful foods graph and posted it in my kitchen. It makes it easy to show my kids the vast difference between fruit and fruit juice. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your expertise and addressing the "cognitive jujitsu" (does that aid brain health??)! So many people are starting ketogenic diets without understanding the risks. Sure, there seem to be some benefits of living in ketosis, but even keto proponents stress that long term ketosis is not sustainable or safe, it has to be cycled and balanced with fasting regimens. They also acknowledge that multivitamin supplementation (and usually fiber supplements) are necessary to avoid severe deficiency and digestive distress. Additionally, if ketosis is only maintained when 5% of calories come from carbohydrates, how are we supposed to eat vegetables, which are predominantly carbohydrate based and recommended by many keto gurus? How, then, can a ketogenic diet be promoted as something that is sustainable or practical for the average person? Especially when we have a well studied alternative that has been practiced for eons by long-lived and healthful populations around the world. Whole plant food diets offer the same benefits claimed by keto proponents (weight loss, blood sugar regulation, lowered total and LDL cholesterol, lowered triglycerides, lowered systemic inflammation, higher brain function, etc....) but without the significant risks. Thanks again for your video and book!
lLilyKoi Hawaii...A LCHF (and moderate protein) diet simply requires that you keep your added sugars very low and with added intermittent fasting, dip in and out of ketosis to make use of healthy ketones. My approach is a plate with half healthy vegetables and some fruit and half meat, animal organs, and bone broth (or collagen powder). I am a little overweight but my latest HbA1C value is 4.4% and I have zero complaints at 60. I don't see any reason to fix what is not broken. No vitamins are needed with healthy non-boxed or processed foods found on the outside walls of grocery stores. I am not seeing the risks you mention. My wife is always in ketosis now and it has saved her life.
A vegan since 2012, I follow some of the research (e.g Dr Valter Longo's work at USC) dealing with cancer and how short term fasting seems promising as an adjunct to standard of care. The mechanism seems to be lower insulin (via lower glucose) and amino acids in order dampen two pathways which promote tumor growth and with the added hormetic benefit of improving the immune system. A side effect of this approach is the transient increase of ketones, which themselves have certain cell signalling properties which need to be full elucidated. So, to the extent that a "ketogenic" diet improves health may really be to lowing glucose/insulin which can be done without meat and high fats and without resorting to most of the high fat and near zero carb diets. The short term therapeutic effects can be done without making up the calorie deficit by fats. There may be cases (brain cancer) where a permanent super low carb diet with high fats will inhibit cancer growth due to helping to drive insulin to very low concentrations, but it's not clear to me that dietary testing has been extensive enough to rule out other ways to keep insulin and glucose at exceptionally low concentration.
Where keto fails, is that they make the “fasting state” permanent, where it’s not supposed to be permanent. You’re supposed to go from glucose to fat to glucose to fat, not just stay at starvation mode with fat generating ketones. So yeah, I do time restricted feeding, I deplete my glycogen by fasting 14 to 16 hours a day, and I restock it again everyday. I’m sure a more prolonged fast is also good to do once a year or so, as Longo says, but it’s not meant to be a permanent state, it’s a safety net mechanism so that we don’t die, a generator when there’s an outage, not meant to be the power with which you constantly run your house. We evolved having to tap into this mechanism since we had prolonged periods of famine, and our ancestors are the ones that survived it, so we are well adapted to use ketones when needed, when the plants froze over, when there’s nothing left but game, but we haven’t evolved from relying only on that or even predominantly on that, our digestive systems are still that of fruit eating apes, can’t handle too much meat or animal protein/fat.
Wow! Excellent video! I've read your book since my mom, grand mother and great grand mother all died from Alzheimer's disease. I don't want the same for me! Been WFPB since 2019! Keep up the good work! And thanks for your excellent work!
I reversed my type 2 diabetes on Keto. However, my doctor (Endo) advised me not to stay on Keto forever to switch over to Whole Foods based diet and I agree with her. Keto is great but I want to try a more plant-based diet and see how my A1C handles the change.

Seventh-day Adventist diet you advocate is a religion based and mostly healthy WFPB way of eating. Other Adventists lifestyle requirements such as no smoking and drinking also contribute to longevity as they prevent vascular decline that manifests as diabetes and heart disease. These two factors alone may account for the 10% longevity increase found in the Loma Linda Adventist population. It is certainly a data confounder. The low added sugar in this diet is very beneficial. You confuse ketosis with starvation. Ketosis is simply using the fats in the body for fuel, typically this happens after a long night sleep or after any long duration exercise where glycogen has been depleted. Babies in utero are always in a ketogenic state, even if the mother is not. It is only after weaning from breast milk that they encounter the world of excessive carbohydrates and drop out of ketosis (typically
With the discovery of TMAO and its effect on the endothelial lining of the arteries, I think a connection between a diet including meat/eggs (containing carnitine and choline ) and atherosclerosis had been determined. Saturated fat has been linked with heart disease in many studies.
I am a 71 year old female. About 30 years ago I became convinced that the Atkins diet was healthy and could maintain a healthy body weight. I lost and then gained a great deal of weight throughout the years I followed Atkins. Brisket, bacon, cheese etc. About 10 years ago, I learned I have Sjorgen's Disease. Auto-immune diseases are in my family, but in my opinion, my circumstances are directly related to the diet. Have been a plant-based eater now for almost 2 years. Still have My illness but doing much better. People, stop the Keto!
I got a blood test result with a high cholesterol reading. So I went to the journals to try and figure out whether diet effected cholesterol, and if cholesterol effected health. The result are a tangled mess of a nightmare. I've ordered your book from my local library and hope it's enlightening. I like that it is not just about diet. For me (and bodies are probably different and like different diets) if I keep away from added sugar and grains I can eat as much as I like (of wholefoods) and keep a healthy weight.
Actually cholesterol is not dangerous if you don't consume sugars. It's the sugar that causes cholesterol to be dangerous. The reason people and doctors believe cholesterol is dangerous is because back in the 50s tests were done on rabbits with cholesterol and they all died. Not really surprising as they are vegans.
@@tantanmustdie I'm nearly seventy and my LDL is 15.5. All my other levels are perfect. This is high even for someone on a keto diet but needless to say I'm not worried. I know the reason. I use cream in my coffee all the time as well as a fatty food diet. One meal a day diet. This is not the way keto should be worked. I shouldn't be drinking creamy coffee all day. However, If you want to learn about high cholesterol, go to the doctors at "LCHF" Many of them explain high cholesterol very well. Paul Mason, is one and there are a dozen or more others. The reason cholesterol was given a bad name in the first place is from back in the fifties, it was tested on rabbits and they all died. This test is clearly obvious and dangerous. The medical profession has accepted this for the past seventy years as gospel. The trouble with poor bunnies is that they're herbivores. Cholesterol was never part of their diet in the first place. The poor bunnies were murdered.

I think you guys are very sensible, and you are doing a great service. But I do believe there is now enough research on fasting (within reason) to indicate some large benefits here in 2022. Also, I think meat as a garnish as the chef Deborah Madison said years ago is the way to go. As a vegan diet may short change on B12 for I stance and all of the Blue Zone peoples except for some in the Loma Linda community are not vegan/vegetarian, I think good quality meats/seafood as a garnish is the way to go. We have to eat this way as a minimum to help the environment anyway.
I'm vegan and recently just started learning about ketogenic diets. Are you familiar with Dr. Jason Fung? It sounds like many of the issues such as gaining weight back don't occur when using intermittent fasting (not spreading out the eating throughout the day)
@@jellyfish_adventures9877 What’s important is to reduce saturated fat to less than 16 grams a day preferably, reduce sodium to less than 2000, reduce added sugars, ultra process meals, refined carbs (like flour, cookies, sugar, NOT fruits and veggies), even oils, and you can do that without being vegan. Being vegan gives you an advantage in that a great source of these things are animal products (eggs, milk, chicken, red meat, processed meats high in sodium), but you can also do a vegan diet that’s high on those things and puts you at risk. What’s good about being vegan healthwise is that you don’t have the animal protein that’s pro inflammatory (c reactive protein), or the dairy that can propel tumor growth through IGF. It gives you a head start, but if you do it wrong, you’re pulled back into the crowd. In terms of IT, you still want to have all your nutrients, so I don’t know how much you can get in OMAD. I think 16 hours of fasting is perfect.y fine, and it gives you enough time for 3 meals, and to get all your calories and nutrients that dieticians recommend. I actually do around 14 hours a day, since I already lost the weight I wanted to lose, so it’s about maintaining now, and sometimes I bump it up to more. I stop eating at around 5 or 6, and I start the next day at around 8 or 9. Basically you wanna eat whole foods, lots of fruit and veg, legumes. Check Dr Greger How not to Diet on RUclips, he has some great tips for losing weight on a vegan diet. For instance, have a salad and lots of water before your meal to make you eat less of it, add vinegar to your salad, eat most of your calories earlier in the day (your body burns more calories earlier). Remember that 1 gram of fat is 9 calories, and 1 gram of carbs is 4 calories, so fat is more than twice as fattening, so watch your fat intake, particularly oil, which is pure refined fat.

I have 2 questions. Please explain if you can...lectins in our food and is olive oil bad? I'm sure you both know Dr. Gundry, he recommends a liter of olive oil a week!
Dr Gundry reminds me Dr Atkins who skids millions of books and died of heart disease related to atherosclerosis. Gundry and Atkins like folks are dangerous.
Show me where vegans have survived all their lives on their diet. YOU CAN"T They never have. People are always praising a whole plant-based diet but, where is the history of it? It doesn't exist. There isn't one. No one has ever lived a complete life on a vegan diet yet you people keep saying how wonderful it is. Stop knocking what you know nothing about.
So you're telling people not to cherry-pick the diet but now you're doing exactly the same thing by saying that there are only your type of fats are the right ones. That keto is really bad and that your diet is the only one that's good. You clearly know very little about keto.
do not criticize keto. I've been doing on keto for 1 year. My body is really in good shape. Also, my friend was doing on fruit, and vegan diet, he finally got diabetes.
Being lean and "in shape" is not necessarily synonymous with optimal overall health. The better marker would be to check the atherosclerosis in your arteries, or the your level of insulin resistance. Unfortunately many people are lean and work out, but their arteries may be %80 blocked, and eventually lead to a heart attack. "But he was so healthy"
I've been on keto for 25 years and these tow liars have really made me angry. They're either lying through their teeth or totally ignorant of the subject. The keto diet saves people of epilepsy and a whole lot of other diseases both mental and physical including type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

A lot of wrong information about ketogenic diet.
Rahul, how so?
do not criticize keto. I've been doing on keto for 1 year. My body is really in good shape. Also, my friend was doing on fruit, and vegan diet, he finally got diabetes.
Being lean and "in shape" is not necessarily synonymous with optimal overall health. The better marker would be to check the atherosclerosis in your arteries, or the your level of insulin resistance. Unfortunately many people are lean and work out, but their arteries may be %80 blocked, and eventually lead to a heart attack. "But he was so healthy"
A lot of wrong information about everything.
I've been on keto for 25 years and these tow liars have really made me angry. They're either lying through their teeth or totally ignorant of the subject. The keto diet saves people of epilepsy and a whole lot of other diseases both mental and physical including type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
