Been living on nothing but fruit for decades. 400 total calories per day working physically 14 hour days and remaining in low BMI, no inflammation which always can be felt when having meat with family on holidays. I feel amazing. Don't really care about science which is usually wrong or a half truth with a religious like agenda. You can find a narrow minded scientific opinion on eating only Fruit, eating only vegetables, eating only meat, eating only organ meat, and fasting. Statistics lie. Fruit ripe in season, with vegetables and roots also in season is natural for our construction, but not everyone has a healthy gut and can live naturally after being domesticated and drugged for a profit 🐄 cow. At the end of the day one should listen within and maintain balance in all things. Don't listen to me either. Short of being a farmer the fruit and veggies we get are all artificial with less nutrition due to being premature and grown in profit centered mineral deficit soil with warfare chemical agraculture.

Where we once were told that fruit is our meat, we are now told that everything that walks on the earth and swims in the sea or flys in the air, aka animals, are now our meat. All from the fall. God never designed a system of animals eating each other’s. There was no death. Sorry if this is what the video says, haven’t watched it yet but wanted to share this before I forget. It’s have been meditating and praying about the fruit only diet for long time before God showed me the all meat diet is how to get better.

I decided that I will only eat fruit that I gather myself from grows wild near my house. That will seasonally limit my fruit consumption to mulberries and blackberries. And I only ever pick that fruit when I'm out exercising, typically during a jog, because they grow along the route I take. Wild fruit is far less sweet and far more nutritious. Occasionally going out of ketosis for some wild fruit seems like it shouldn't be a problem. But I'll do it as an experiment and see how I feel. The berries should be coming out soon.

As a beekeeper, I am aware of some commercial honey sources eg China companies, adulterating their ‘honey’ by the deliberate addition of C4 (corn/cane sugars), C3 (rice syrups), and invert sugars. You can test the honey you buy, by filling a glass with water and adding a teaspoon of honey. If the honey is pure it will settle at the bottom and not dissolve. Adulterated or impure honey may dissolve or create a cloudy appearance when it is added to a glass of water.

Lilac, I think you may have misunderstood something... Ghrelin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by our bodies. It doesn't come from the food. It spikes BEFORE mealtime, to remind us that it's time to eat (hunger sensations). Then there's the hormone that functions in a opposite sort of way: leptin. Leptin counteracts the signals to continue eating, sending the signals that tell our brain we're satiated. Unfortunately, most modern people have eaten their way into a state of leptin resistance, completely missing out on receiving those signals.

To raise HDL Avoid processed seed oils because they are high in Omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids better. Historically people ate an Omega:6 to Omega:3 ratio of 1:1. Now it can be as high as 20:1 Walk after lunch and supper for 30 minutes. (Doesn’t mean race walking) 2-3 times a week, add weight training to exercise regime, with a day off in between. The rest between is important. Improve sleep; in bed asleep by 10:00 pm, hormones released while sleeping repair body and help improve health. Dark, cool room is best. There are: Essential Amino acids Essential Fatty Acids But no essential carbohydrates. If triglycerides are higher, that is a sign carbs in diet are still too high. You want your Triglyceride:HDL ratio under 2, better under 1. Yours is 3. You’ve made a very good start. I wish you continued success, and feeling great!

This lecture is the closest I have seen that describes how fructose works. One slight mistake. Dr Fettke did not explain that fruits make you gain weight by causing you to eat more of everything, not just fruits. Fructose increases your appetite for all foods, and it also decreases your energy level so you can gain weight. He also quoted Dr Richard Johnson, author or The Fat Switch which describes this very process.

Grapes are still far away from being is season that will be towards the end of Summer and beginning of the Fall. So it is with vegetables, there are different vegetables that come "online" at different times. The supermarkets, frozen foods and artificial ripening made this obvious knowledge obscure unfortunately. I am blessed to live in a country where I can walk 5 minutes to the nearest farmer's market every day and buy what is is season. Supermarkets did not kill this yet and I hope they never will. I would never buy fruits or vegetables in supermarkets.

Good on you Gary. What you say makes sense. Cheers, Rob.

Fascinating talk, but there was so much mechanistic data here and it was extremely light on actual human outcomes. The best way to answer the question "is fruit good or bad for you?" is to compare the health of people who eat fruit regularly to those who don't. I appreciate that Dr. Fettke brought up the cancer study, but cancer is not the only human outcome that we should care about.

Thanks for presenting this honest food info in an entertaining way... that we are what we eat & everything in moderation!

I find the all subjects presented by Dr. Gary useful, informative and very helpful, despite the annoying sound he makes each time he begins a sentence :), something I am sensitive to, yet the content is important and often humorous, which keeps me tuned

Very frustrating. The captions are in French, which I understand a little, but not enough to get the whole gist.

I have always believed that the best reason to avoid fruit is because I know how much chemical treatment they require to survive the growing season and still look really nice on the store shelf, I figured a lifetime of ingesting small traces of those chemicals can only add up to disease, so too much fruit is bad for that reason.

At last I have found someone that really knows his stuff - just subscribed, I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Jessica the benefits that can be got from fruit are there because the fruit it bound in fibre, slowing the rate the sugar gets into our bodies, when we blend the fruit it is shown to raise glycemic index as the fruit is no longer bound in the fibre.

Re supermarket fruits, what infuriates me are the so called "fresh fruit and vegetable" section of the likes of Coles and Woolworth here Down under in that each unit of a fruit/vegetable species looks exactly like all others. Same weight, size, shape, skin texture (perfect like Hollywood actors). They seem to have been made out of a mold. Many decades ago, when fruit and vegetable were natural, those of the same species appeared with a variety of shape, form, size, etc. Never perfect to look at as today's are. Yet they tasted so much better. As for their health benefits, listen to Dr Fettke again.

Thank you Gary for your ongoing research into all sorts of dietary assumptions we make and the role that so far has been played freely by the food industry, pharmaceutical industry and also Seventh Day Adventist religion promoting vegan/vegetarian/plant based ideology even though it is not healthy for many. This one was an eye-opener. Me, I haven't had any fruit since I began LCHF/keto back in March 2016. Apart from a couple of bowls of my own seasonal wild strawberries (with extra thick double cream and 90% dark chocolate of course) when they were ripe in Autumn. Has it done me harm? No, because as you so eloquently showed, I eat a lot of nutrient-dense veggies (particularly spinach, broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms and avocados too), plus nutrient-dense proteins in the form of fresh unprocessed meat, fish, cheese, eggs. All simply cooked by myself in raw coconut oil, olive oil, cream and butter. It is a win-win because I eat delicious food to satiety every day, two meals maximum a day, no snacking needed ever because I am full for hours afterwards.

It fell to do his finger pricks. I saw the terrifying surges in his blood sugar after he ate fruit. Unfortunately his love for fruit outweighed the evidence on the device. It really worries me that my husband - who fluctuates between prediabetic and diabetic - is following in daddy's footsteps. His HbA1c goes up, he cuts back on fruit, HbA1c goes down, he ratchets up on fruit. He does not drink soda, sweeten his coffee, eat jam, etc. When he was compliant with a very low fruit diet, his HbA1c dropped to the low end of normal. On the other hand, one of my sisters and my brother eat huge amounts of fruit with no ill-effects whatsoever!
