I eat everything, even its a bit off. Don't eat mango, that shit is gross. Sometimes I will be eating something and somebody will say can I have some, and I am like no, you will get sick, it's off. They will say, but you are eating it, and I am like yeah I can tolerate it, you can't.

Having grown up with a bodybuilder/health nut Dad I learned about organic food and eating healthy from an early age. But I've tried just about every diet over the decades.... Currently what's working (at 65) is intermittent fasting 20/4 with plenty of clean animal protein, local veggies, some fruits,, bone broths, and some rice and corn, no bread or wheat products. Doing this I've overcome several chronic issues and it's improved my quality of life a lot. Oh, and I find that some of the locally handmade cheeses here in (our new home) Oaxaca are things I can eat, in moderation. Food just seems fresher and more local here and it's helping us feel a lot better.

Vegan is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle where you try and cause the least harm to animals, by not eating, wearing, exploiting animals. Otherwise plant based is a more correct description.

I turned 60 last year and have learned since that the perfect diet is not a diet, but a way of life. I now prepare all my food, largely plant based, nothing processed and as a result, I’ve lost 30 lbs, I’m working out like I did 25 years ago, I feel good, my bloodwork is remarkably, I’m off BP meds and most importantly, I look so damn good. That said, what brand are those incredible new frames…I must have them.

I've been 99% Whole Food Plant diet for 6 years now, and I lean heavily on asian foods...rice, tofu, sweet potatoes, kimchi, greens, miso and a regular amount of oats, seeds, nuts and avocado. My body is THRIVING on this plant diet, that is far far away from the British/Irish diet. So, the great grandparent hypothesis doesn't always work. Beef has always (since childhood) caused me a very upset stomach.

Thank god someone who is rational about water consumption! This varies so much by person & also how much water is in the foods you eat throughout the day. People are ridiculous about water intake.

This is great advice! We all have the responsibility to work this out through experimentation and observation. What works for me may not work for you, and getting hung up on ideology and excessive generalizations is a good way to miss out on optimizing your health. Nobody will be your champion like you yourself.

Yes. So smart and such good advice. I’ve done some tangent diets, for “healthy lifestyle .” But I’ve come back to your practical recs. Feed the body YOU have. Move. Rest. Hydrate. It’s refreshing to hear “be real, not trending “ applied to the body.

A couple decades ago I had the unfortunate circumstance of having to have a kidney stone removed. The urologist made a statement afterward that has served me well (as in, no repeats of stones). He said, "Don't worry about how much you drink. Just make sure you are passing a minimum of 1 liter per day."

You have become our only source of how to become healthy and be happy. Keep it up, you are literally changing lives for the better!

How much liquid per day? The advice I find easy to follow is to drink enough liquids to keep my pee pale. For my body, that also means no alcohol snd no caffeine. Love the advice to do what works best for your own body.

I've been following WPBV SOS-free. Originally, I started because of my heart. Everything else just fell into place with that. I am healthier, stronger, more clear-headed, more energetic than I have been in years. Along the way, my diabetes fell back under control. I now weigh less than I have ever as an adult (5. 4", 71 yrs, 112 lbs). Luckily, I don't have any special food intolerances although milk products don't agree with me. No, I do not bother with vegan products like non-dairy cheese (and do not miss cheese at all). I do all my own cooking and food prep. I love my own cooking. Speaking more holistically, you have helped me strengthen myself so I can now walk, hike, and bike again, while also building muscle strength to fight muscle loss and strengthen bones to fight osteopenia. More recently, I have worked my daily routine to incorporate jogging. My back and core strength are very, very much improved. Because, you see, at the end of the day, it isn't just about "diet," water, or a gym work. It's holistic. Everything effects everything else. It's about "lifestyle."

I think any way of eating that works for you and has you reducing highly processed food is positive.

At 70 years, I spent lifetime on variety of lo-meat / lo-fat / vegetarian / rawfood diets. I was also an avid runner and always felt bloated and/or constipated. Then I tried lo-carb keto diet and my bloating and constipation disappeared.

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I agree that there is no "perfect diet" and you should find what works best for your body. Registered Dietitians don't advocate for these diet trends but work with people to find a balanced eating plan that works for them and their lifestyle. Please don't forget about your RDNs when it comes to nutrition advice. As for water, we no longer advise 8 cups a day as our bodies are different and you have to take that into account as well as your lifestyle. I agree with your thoughts on keeping water handy and going by thirst. And while not everyone has a strong thirst reflex (especially as we get older), a good way is to look at the color of your pee. If it is dark yellow you are likely dehydrated.

Glad you work with people to find what works for them. My history with dieticians has been horrible. Maybe it is because they were primarily related to medically managed weight loss practices, but I think they served others in the hospital as well. I ate a really "healthy" diet and would gain weight, I'd eat bunches of junk food and drop weight. They couldn't seem to understand that I wanted to be lighter AND feel good rather than just look good. I felt horrible on thd junk food, but the healthy food wasn't healthy for me and caused inflammation and gut issues. Still working on it, but that was probably the closest I could get to some of my disordered eating practices looking back. Still working on it.

What a great video! We are all so different but what really matters is for us to minimize or eliminate vegetable oils, sugar and chemicals like glyphosates on our foods! I personally thrive on carnivore but anyone could improve their health if they just ate whole foods, not processed foods.

Best advise out there on the subject. Thanks. And, thanks for the water drinking break down. So many directives out there...drink THIS much! Also, the product barrage is relentless. AG1, Kachava, etc. All those powders..yikes! Just eat good organic food, that hasn't been poisoned.

Just eat clean: grass fed or wild caught proteins, organic veggies. Going on 3 weeks and feel great. Seltzer only. No sugars no processed crap! I also eat a lot of organic sauerkraut and am growing my own garden.

As a Vegan, I can testify with100% certainty that the Weston Price Nourising Traditions diet is the best.

The beautiful thing about our bodies is we often know exactly what foods we need in our bodies But a lot of guesswork is added when addictive foods, junk foods, convenience foods, are thrown into the mix, and you have to ask yourself... Do I really need "this" food? And what food do I really need? There are foods for all sorts of diets that can contribute to weight loss, muscle gain, increased brain activity, and healing. Learn what foods do what, and learn more about the foods you eat. They're not all bad. Sometimes we just eat too much of something. Portions are the best thing to keep in mind with diets. It's a good idea to try new things, but definitely incorporate new menu items gradually into your life, rather than going all in on it. Use what you know works. As an adult, we have gotten this far eating whatever it is we eat. Trust your gut, but use your head, too.

40 years plant based now eating a species appropriate Carnivore diet and thriving.

Things I learned from this video and comment section: 1. You have a very common sense, listen to your body approach for fuel in addition to mechanics. 2. Nutrition seems to be a great way for people to get political quickly, and that people who are the loudest typically don't have a viewpoint based on listening to what their own bodies have to say. 3. My history with not knowing what my body was trying to tell me has made it very triggering to have people slamming listening to your/my body because eating something they don't (usually but not always meat) makes you unethical/horribly inhumane/stupid/ignoring science (not that it does, but people cherry pick what fits their narritive)/ignorant of history/etc. 4. I would be better off if I stopped reading comments as soon as I come across an absolute (always, never, etc). Typically the benefit from that point forward is slim and the triggering possibility is much greater.

1:35. Swapping one processed food for another just because of a diet label. It's still processed food.

I recommend studying the gut microbiome… such as the book Fiber Fueled. It seems like plant-based eaters and animal-based eaters both do well, and that’s because of their gut microbiome. The gut’s microbiota are adapted to what it needs to digest. That’s why transitions need to happen slowly to give new microbiota a chance to proliferate. Note: The chemicals released from the microbiota are different for each. Plant-based foods ultimately reduce inflammation. Animal-based foods in the human body are inflammatory and acid forming…thus causing harm in the long run. Humans (a primate) have the anatomy and physiology of plan-eaters, and the continuous bombardment of animal products will cause disease.

My immediate ancestry is from North of the Arctic Circle. It's dark and frozen several months during winter -- as in, the sun barely peeks above the horizon. Nothing can grow. Dietary Mainstays were fish pickled & salted, elk, beef, dairy cheese & yogurt, lamb, rye as crackers and bread, eggs, carrots, parsnips, beets, cabbage/kraut wild berries, rare honey & mead, pork, and for the last 400 years or so, potatoes. Salad? Beans? Rice? Pasta? Tomatoes? Cukes? Sweet potatoes? Watermelon? No, never. Never even ate that growing up in the US, since parents never bought it. None of that grew "in the old country", and until the past decades, it wasn't imported there either. None of that is a "natural diet" for me -- or my kids. Meat & fish, a few root veg and a rye cracker covered in butter -- that's my healthy diet 😄. NOT starch based. Meat based.

It's fairly well known among those who study archaeology that human adult height averages drop when a group switches to a diet with lots of grain (farming) instead of mostly meat and non-grain vegetables (hunter-gatherer). It's harder to track, but I believe metabolic syndrome diseases increased at the same time. I'm of Central European ancestry, with Type 2 diabetes common in my family. My ideal diet is low, not zero carb, with a variety of meats, fish, dairy and non-starchy vegetables. A little bit of grain is fine, maybe a tablespoon here and there. I would never suggest others eat this way (except maybe my adult kids), all I can say is it works for me.

As a word of encouragement, your body doesn’t hate you regarding dairy. Lactose intolerance is normal, and most of the world is lactose “intolerant.” Humans are weened from breast milk as toddlers, and the body has a natural mechanism to turn off lactose tolerance. A genetic mutation originating from the northern European area is what gives future generations the ability to tolerate lactose. We are not designed to consume breast milk from another species. It’s ridiculous. And the dairy industry is one of the most abusive on top of that. Unethical all around.

Well, I agree with your overall sentiment that nutrition is individual. I think you took this too far to suggest that we should just blindly limit ourselves to whatever our body seemingly digest best we know that we are able to train our bodies to better digest food if we expose our body to those foods in a controlled and gradual manner. It’s a bit like saying some people should only run while others should only lift…we need to find the balance between what we are capable of and what we can train our bodies to handle. The more diversity in our diet, the better for our guts.

Many former vegetarians have found out that eating that way did our bodies a world of hurt over the years. Still recovering my hormonal issues 20 years later (it took almost 10 for them to actually be figured out, and Im just still working on fixing them). You get to choose what works for you and whether you listen to your body or not. Just because it doesn't line up with your religious belief doesn't mean the rest of us have to feel like crap for your religion. He is just saying that listening to your body should be what you consider doing rather than all the gimmicky fad diets or the huge population of people saying you have to be vegan or carnivore right now. One of the things that cropped up for me as I'm trying to fix the issues was histamine intolerance. I have repeatedly been amazed by the patterns. Some people do well on vegan, some people do well on carnivore. Some do well on something in the middle. The ones on either end of the spectrum tend to very solidly align with root causes. If you have low stomach acid (often caused by micronutrient deficiencies or certain gut problems), you do better more towards the plant based end of the spectrum. If you have issues that cause you to have issues with lectins, oxolates, or salicylates, you typically lean over to the carnivore side of the spectrum because if you have lectin issues you likely react to most grains and legumes, oxolates are high in most nuts, and salicylate is in seemingly any plants, lol. I'm only semi kidding on that one and thankful I haven't reacted to those at this point. Just from a non-biased viewpoint, if you have issues with certain things and don't want to change your diet, you should probably take note of what makes you feel bad and what the symptoms are and work on a solution sooner rather than later. I was only a vegetarian for 6 years, and if I had known then what was going on I probably could have fixed the issues and been healthy. Google is very helpful in understanding issues with certain foods, and micronutrient testing can be a bit expensive, but can make for easy fixes for certain things if they are just lacking in your diet.
