Some types of fats including omega 3, 6 and 9 compounds, vitamins A, E and D are essential for the proper functioning of the human body. Even some medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid in coconut actually stimulate the immune system and can actually increase metabolism. Simply avoiding fat because it has so many calories could be cheating yourself out of tremendous benefits from eating the right kinds of fats. Now back to the video!
Food you eat depends on your activities and your body - if you weigh-lift you'll need to eat fast digesting, high-glycemic carbohydrates like white rice post training. About drinking in moderation, I think we shouldn't even drink, we are getting a lot of empty calories and intoxicating our body, which is the opposite of what we should be doing if we want to live long and strong.
Missing info: although eggs are good, more than one/two p/ day will have negative effects on the body.
Of course not, the body needs essential good fats - some examples are Avocado, olive oil & nuts like almonds. And also, you only absorb fat when you eat it with carbs!
Hi Pretty Natalie, instead of whole wheat pasta, what is your thoughts on spelt pasta? Spelt is an ancient grain, and I particularly like and prefer this particular pasta for the long noodles. Short noodles are better in spelt too, but i can and do eat the short pasta (penne etc.) in whole wheat.
I believe eating simply and fresh as possible. Exercise sensibly. Watch stress and toxic people. Take vitamin supplements. Avoid sun cigarettes drugs. Works for me.

fats are not as bad as commonly thought. you need a certain amount of fat in your diet. some fats (essential fatty acids) cannot be made and must be consumed. also, pork fat gets a bad rapp and is pretty good stuff.

She maybe hot, but certain things were not addressed. Oh say farm raised vs wild caught fish, mercury content in fish? Grass fed meats vs feed lot crap, free range chicken vs feed lot fowl fed corn(GMO corn mind you) Raw milk or pasturized(dead) milk, How about the studies on raw butter, coconut oil, olive oil being good for you!? Again I search on for more accurate info.....thanks.
2.continued- unoxidized cholesterol(even the "bad" chol.) it also has no affect on your heart health. Dont believe me? next time you see a cholesterol pill commercial read the bottom white text. I gaurantee that you will see it says, "not proven to prevent or aid in heart disease" yet is FDA approved to do so, our science on food is broken and if you want to learn about PROPER nutrition look up diets a cancer patient SHOULD eat, because in reality its what we should all eat, please be healthy
continued- they raise you're estrogen levels and hugely increase your risk of cancer. im sorry to "vegetarians" but you're eating a diet that is truly unnatural, you're killing your muscle mass and beans and nuts do not have all of the proteins you need. We are complicated animals and require much more than just simple proteins. NEXT lets talk about cholesterol misconceptions! Cholesterol is not a bad thing! in fact if you're a woman esspecially one in risk of becoming pregnant you need a high
Birds are the only animals that can survive on grains primarly. White bread isn't good either but this idea that grains are good in general is ridiculous. Also most vegetable oils are horrible for you. Eat what we could make with fire and you're fine, but we only DEVELOPED v. oil in the last 100 years, its unnatural, at best use coconut oil! humans are wired to eat what is best for them, like meat! like fruit! even like sweet vegetables! like nuts! but things like soy beans r not good for u!
your videos are very helpful thank you :) dealing with oils i don'tthink that you should take all oils out of your diest because some are good for you.
I totally agree that the Harvard pyramid is healthier than the US gov. one for the same reasons Natalie states. I am vegan and eat tons of veggies, eat lots of whole grains, use plant-based oils a lot with an emphasis on beans & nuts for protein- not meat.
Natalie- Potatoes, good or bad? I always thought that the potato itself was good but all the stuff you pile on top was bad. So if I take a small potato and slice it up with the rest of my veggies, without the butter, sour cream, and cheese and bacon, is that good or bad?
And third, to me it was of great help when I discovered Jack LaLanne's videos here on Youtube. Especially the one in which he presents a sample meal plan for the day. Actually that's the title, "Sample meal plan". I would appreciate if you did such a video as well, telling your opinion on what to eat in which meal. Just as a suggestion. Anyways, thanks a lot for all your videos! They are great and very informative.
Second, what do you think about this whole low-carb / caveman diet? The reason I ask is that in the Harvard food pyramid, you find whole grains on the bottom, wheras low-carbers try to avoid all kinds of grains and starchy foods, including whole grain. What is your opinion on this issue? Is it okay to eat, say, 2 to 3 portions of whole grain products? If so, does this include potatoes?
First comment: About the French... the younger generation in Europe is as addicted (or even more addicted) to alcohol than young Americans. This story about the French having their one glass of red wine might be true for some wine-growers in the rural area, but the French youth, especially in urban areas, is not different from American college students.
I usually like your tips, but how the heck should i consume as much oil as i consume whole grain bread and pasta etc??? I should drink a bottle of olive oil in a day ! :D i use olive oil for cooking and sometimes in salads, but it's impossible to use it that much.
That is terrible advise. A diet moderate in coke and cupcakes is not a good diet. It's better to take control of your diet and eat healthy, whole foods that taste great and are good for you.
Your video's are great! I would be interested to see a video on lunch meat like turkey,ham,ect. I hear that a lot of them have nitrates and that you should not eat them. Are their any that are okay to eat?
i have a question, how many eggs a week you should eat? i love eggs, and i try to eat no more than 4 a week but i love them soo much, i dont mind eating them every day. but i know its not good for you. so how many a week is ok?
@LameEmily In "Optimum Nutrition for your Mind" the author says you can have up to 7. He recommends organic free range fed a natural diet and boiled or poached.
i have a question, how many eggs a week you should eat? i love eggs, and i tried to eat no more than 4 a week but i love them soo much, i dont mind eating them every day. but i know its not good for you. so how many a week is ok?
whats your advice on OMEGA 3 Fish Oil Supplements? Cause i hear mix things but ive never talked to anyone whos taking nutrition classes or majored in it. or anything on that matter. So id like to hear your advice before i go out and buy some haha.
I have done alot of research and frankly I don't know if whole grains is good for me or not. I have metabolic syndrome, and I have tried every type of diet imaginable, including hypocal diet like weight watchers. sure I lost weight on hypocal but who doesn't? I was hungry all the time, and I got really weak.
but my a1c is finally going down, my main food has been whole milk, veggies fruits and some meat and lots of dairy and some whole grains. itr was on the upswing for a few years. now what?
From my experience, the basic fundamental human food groups: animal products for adequate protein and fat, grains/starch for whatever is that feels right about them, fruits, vegetables. Then it's up to you to consume them in a way that feels balanced and gives you good/great results with your body's health, strength, integrity. Cooking is a fundamental part, at least with some of what is eaten, if not the majority. Embrace your humanity, and enjoy. Be vital.
@BandofSorensons each of our bodies reveals. Be/get in tune. Your body reveals by response indicators on and with your body, to what you consume and what you do or don't do. Says who? and why? Not valid questions. Live to perform. Being in tune means you can make sense of how your body responds. "No rules, just right". People have phases. Circumstances are variable. So what is best for you at a given time is variable in different circumstances. Says who? You're responsible for yourself.
@ToolsnFire In tune with what? My body reveals what? What is a response indicator? Why are those not valid questions? I am asking you where your sources come from on the assumption that neither one of us is omniscient. I ask why because I want you to give me good reasons for believing what you say you believe. What's invalid is pretending like you can just sputter off any old new age nonsense that you please without any rational justification for what you are saying.
@BandofSorensons, because it really is that simple, it's not new agey at all. You do something, you're body gives you a response. Different people can have somewhat different responses with different things depending on their circumstances. Same thing goes with alcohol, though that's been highly investigated, unlike most other foods, and so there is individual variability as a matter of quantity consumed, the state of the body at a given time, activity levels, and other individualities.
@ToolsnFire Nothing is THAT simple. After exercise you can become sore, but it doesn't follow that you should now avoid exercise. People who eat low fiber, high fat diets may feel gastro-intestinal discomfort when they eat food rich in fiber (gas, or a mild stomach ache) and, again, this does not imply that they shouldn't eat food high in fiber. The principle: "listen the responses of your body" thus falls apart given the scrutiny of specific examples. Intuition are unhelpful.
@BandofSorensons, your body gives you results that you can make sense of. Life you gives you plenty of time to make sense of things. You're simplifying incorrectly. I'm simplifying correctly: your body responds to everything you do, consume, or not consume, whether as a matter of choice or environment. What about the people who eat animal foods, plant foods, and have good balance of diet based on what their body indicates as both a matter of desire and results? We've figured it out.
@ToolsnFire I'm not simplifying anything, though I accuse you of doing so blindly on the grounds of some kind of new age mysticism that I've never encountered. Give me a concrete example of "your body giving one 'results' that can be made sense of". Who are these people who think they know what is good to eat just based on "what their body indicates" as an intuition? You don't address any of my points, you just attempt to talk around the matter with more poorly conceptualized fuzzy nonsense.
@BandofSorensons, it's not intuition, nor new age mysticism, it's simple cause and effect, for example, eat something which contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, to use one of the more extreme examples other than alcohol 'overconsumption'. Typically what will happen, unless your body is very effective in processing it, you will likely get boils/zits and/or perhaps noticeable partial blockage of a vein, maybe at the temples.
Also, vegetable oils in many people cause rashes and zits.
@ToolsnFire Why do you believe this? I'm pretty sure what you are saying isn't true, though I agree hydrogenated fat is unhealthy. You could eat margarine and NOT get zits. You MIGHT, with some experimentation, establish a correlation b/w your zits and eating certain foods but it is an invalid leap in logic to assume an actual causal connection. We know that hydrogenated oil IS bad thanks to real scientific studies & NOT people's intuitions about their what's causing their pimples.
@BandofSorensons, what I've said is very valid, by repeated experience over decades of personal experience. Cause and effect which is readily correlatable, such that if you do away with the causative factor, the symptom goes away.Here's another: eat too many fruits/yogurt which have a fair amount, more or less, of acid and/or sugar, wounds don't heal as quickly, substantially, generally speaking. Eat meat with animal fat, - heal much quicker and healthfully. I'm simplifying for the comments.
@poweredbydiscuz No, usually asian cooking uses white long grain rice. It has the same glycemic index as brown rice, unless youre eating white instant rice...its the same as brown rice.
@poweredbydiscuz Rice is a little different. It's not flour based so it takes a little longer to digest and doesn't cause a blood sugar spike. I'd recommend brown rice over white but it's really not a life or death difference.
sweety, you should really revise this video- you're spreading information that is very detrimental.. Telling humans to eat unsaturated oils is damn near comparable to giving a dog chocolate, please research before you inform..
Saturated fat does NOT lead to heart disease. If you are eating grass-fed beef then enjoy it daily if you wish. While this food guide pyramid is better than the USDA one it is still not at all ideal.
Ditch grains, eat wild/grass-fed/pastured animal products and plenty of veggies. Corn, safflower, Sunflower seed oil and more are NOT healthy due to the omega 6 fatty acid content. Coconut oil is AWESOME, olive oil as well along with avocados.
@PrimalToad1 Saturated fat alone does not definitively CAUSE heart disease like lighting a cigarette causes it to burn but you bet your biscuits that it is part and parcel to the larger story about how it is people acquire "heart disease". In fact, smoking cigarettes don't CAUSE heart disease either, by this use of the term. Grass fed beef is a great alternative but it really shouldn't be eaten "daily" (what about portions? How much grass fed meat do you think one ought to consume?)
@PrimalToad1 I would love to eat a variety of wild game also, but doing so in not the "eating a variety of essential nutrients". Being healthy isn't simply a function of "living primal" or "natural" or "in accord with evolution". It's a highly complex and contextually sensitive notion that defies simplistic reductions or popular paradigms. Regardless of how popular the book (Atkins, Primal, etc) what is being sold is just a book and it need not come very close to the truth on these grounds.
@BandofSorensons You are EXTREMELY mistaken, PLEASE do research before you spread false information!! Saturated fat is NOT to blame for heart disease- on the CONTRARY, TRANS fats which are found in UNSATURED oils are to blame.. SATURATED fats are GOOD for you- PLEASE do research.
@BandofSorensons You're mistaken, unsaturated fat contains trans fat, which is the cause of heart disease- SATURATED fats on the other hand are GOOD for you. Unsaturated fats also contain long-chain fatty acids which are very unstable and fragile, these fatty acids cause damage to your thyroid, slow your metabolism and zap your energy.
@Yoni89 Why do you think that "unsaturated fat" contains "transfat"? Do you even know what transfats are? Where are you getting this information? No one in there right mind would say something as simplistic as "saturated fats are categorically poisonous" or some such. Yet at the very same time no one in their right mind could possibly deny the proven role that saturated fat plays in the development of cardiovascular disease. What about the thyroid? Why do "fatty acid chains" affect the thyroid?
@Yoni89 So just because someone agrees with you they automatically acquire the status of "informing the public"? Seriously, where are your sources for believing all this stuff? You aren't going to be a healthy person if you over consume animal fats! There are no simple tricks in all of this either. This is an extremely large, complex, and nuanced subject matter. If you believe any particular "diet X" has the "answer" then you are probably mistaken.
@Yoni89 You are here to teach me something insofar as you have asserted that you are right about what you say. However, you have no grounds for what you say as far as I know. Telling to me to "look it up" is tantamount to admitting that you just don't know. I want to know why you believe what you tell me.
@BandofSorensons Because I have done research, I'm not going to cite my research. If you want to know more about good fats, bad fats, good oils, bad oils.. Do your own research
@Yoni89 If you've really done any sort of legitimate research you'd be able to state at least one real scientific study, article, or even book in your favor. Probably right off the top of your head. What I think you mean by research is "stuff you read off of the internet" or some other vague thing and therefore I don't think you probably engaged in what is called "research" properly speaking. What you read is only as good as your source is credible.
@BandofSorensons Okay, how about the study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition? Is that a good enough source for you? Clearly states "A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD." and source: ajcn.org/content/early/2010/01/13/ajcn.2009.27725.abstract From now on do your own research.
@BandofSorensons I find it very interesting that you refuse to research anything and cite sources to prove anyone incorrect, you just continually tell people they need to prove themselves. How about you prove yourself? Why should we do all the work to make YOU healthier?
@Yoni89 I don't cite sources to prove you incorrect because the burden of proof does not fall on me to do so. The vast medical literature on this subject comes on the side of "excessive saturated fat is associated with heart disease", etc. I'm afraid that by denying this statement, which is pretty much a fact, that you are the one that needs to give proof. This is like a debate between a fundamentalist who believes that dinosaurs lived 3000 years ago despite the fact that science says otherwise.
@BandofSorensons No, the burden of proof is 1000000% on YOU because it's YOUR health, NOT MINE. Frankly, if you want to constantly disagree with someone advising you that what you're doing is unhealthy, you can slowly kill yourself. I'm all for personal liberty and freedom- so if you feel like guzzling sunflower oil, ENJOY!... coconut oil tastes better ;)
@Yoni89 You should do work to make me healthier just in case you are a decent human being who regards my personal well-being. It's a function of charity and it is what we are all called to do in every instance.
@BandofSorensons Lastly, if you really listen to your body, you'll know what you should and shouldn't be eating- If I spoon some vegetable oil in my mouth, I immediately gag and feel sick, my body rejects it immediately and that isn't even considering the flavor.
Now, if I spoon some coconut oil in my mouth (in solid form) I taste that wonderful flavor, my body keeps asking for more, same with olive oil, two of the healthy oils.
@Yoni89 Okay, now you just sound like a nut. Seriously? You gag and "immediately feel sick"? Can it be because you have an irrational belief about vegetable oil and thus experience a psychologically motivated response? Don't get me wrong, I don't think "vegetable oil" is at all healthy save in minute amounts (a small bit of olive oil for instance) but to think that you'd gag from it is silly. Do you gag when you eat ice cream or other diabetes inducing treats? I doubt it.
@BandofSorensons On the contrary, I gagged when tasting vegetable oil years before I did any research on the matter, it's disgusting, it has a horrible flavor. I gagged before I knew it was horrible for me and will not taste it again now.
Diabetes is NOT caused from excessive sugar intake, you're showing more and more that you're basing your opinions off bullshit that has long been proven false. For the last time, I will say this: If you want to be healthy, do some research.
@Yoni89 Ok, so you think doing a google search is sufficient for demonstrating that eating a diet high in refined sugar doesn't actually lead to diabetes?
@BandofSorensons Hey! How come ever since unsaturated was introduced and heavily marketed since around 1950, heart disease in America has increased? That's so strange! I wonder how that would happen. Why don't you walk up to a doctor and ask a doctor if sugar DIRECTLY leads to diabetes. Please.
I'm currently labeling you as a contentious troll in my mind, you argue to argue and use no argument other than "prove it! PROVE IT!" So, no, you prove it. Ciao.
@Yoni89 No one is saying sugar "causes" diabetes, like lighting a match causes fire. Yet eating excessive refined sugar is most definitely part and parcel to the larger story about why it is some people get type II diabetes. Just as much as considerations about physical activity would be part of the larger story. Again, I don't think unsaturated oils are healthy at all. Heart disease is the US is a complicated tale and it has a lot to do with processed junk foods and inactivity.
@BandofSorensons Also, please refrain from paraphrasing me, I said "I immediately gag and feel sick" to be objective I can see how you could infer that I feel sick immediately, but paraphrasing to make me sound whacky is not appreciated.
@BandofSorensons Oh, and just a follow up- the Masai (nomads) eat mainly beef, milk and blood- which according to US government "studies" should cause them to drop dead from heart disease by the time they hit puberty, but somehow, magically, all this deadly saturated fat (FOUND NORMALLY IN HUMAN DIETS) causes these people to be strong, have AMAZINGLY low cholesterol and virtually NO heart disease. Want to blame genetics? Good luck.
@Yoni89 Masai nomads might not die often from heart disease but at the very same time those people are lucky to see their 40th birthday. It makes no sense to compare them to the general public, they don't have anything like the US publics life expectancy or lifestyle circumstances. Maybe a diet that high in saturated fat would make more sense for nomads in comparison to inactive American and Europeans? I don't blame genetics either, I have a less simplistic view of all this than you think.
@BandofSorensons Meanwhile, on their high fat diets, they have low blood pressure and low cholesterol, in USA heart disease can strike at ANY age, so the short lifespan of the masai is irrelevant- people under 40 die of heart disease in the US as well, under 40 most definitely- the Masai have no recorded heart disease. Explain, please?
@Yoni89 I am not committed to the position you think I am: saturated = heart disease. Just the same, I am not committed to the assumption that it (and other sources of fat) has nothing to do with the bigger picture. The Japanese supposedly didn't have any significant levels of heart disease either until they were introduced to western foods, including much larger amounts of saturated fat. Masai don't have low cholesterol, they have lower cholesterol, and most people die of heart attacks over 40!
@BandofSorensons my point stands that masai have no heart disease, in USA people as young as 1 can have heart disease, look up the statistics. Now, obviously if someone that young has heart disease it's likely not related to diet, but heart disease can and does develop in teens, early twenties, late thirties.. in the USA.
@Yoni89 That is absolutely ridiculous. "Heart disease" is a function of years of slow degenerative processes, there are not infants with heart disease in the operative sense anywhere. While it is entirely possible to speak of an infant with a disease of the heart, we are not talking about heart disease. Heart disease does, by definition, begins to develop at the moment one exhibits behaviors that puts them at risk for heart disease, including eating excessive amount of fat (saturated fat too).
@Yoni89 Dude, really? What are your credentials here? Are you a doctor, nurse, physiologist, nutritionist, science writer, anything? Why do you think that a diet low in fat = heart disease? That's just as overly simplistic as saying that saturated fat = heart disease? It's not that simple!
@BandofSorensons, heart disease is due to eating too many plant oils, manufactured oils such as hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated, excess sugar over the longterm frequently, insufficient quantities of whole foods with adequate fiber, too much highly refined foods such as 'white flour', unyeasted flour,...etc.
Eat animals and their products, eat plants and their products, be 'in tune' to understand what your body reveals, and act accordingly.Everything you consume your body gives a response
@ToolsnFire Heart disease is more complicated than even that but you are right to suggest that extracted oils (though not all of them) are implicated in its onset. Further, you are correct to suggest that a diet rich in un-nutritious refined sugar sources (honey, flour, etc) are another major contributer to the problem. So is the lack of cardiovascular exercise needed to keep your circulatory system strong and healthy. But eating too much animal fat is also part of this story, It's a rich story.
It makes no sense to include exercise in the pyramid. If it were a health pyramid as opposed to a food pyramid then this would make sense but there is still more to health than "exercise daily" and "eat these proportions". Further putting fats at the bottom is misleading. People get enough healthy fats from the fruits, nuts, vegetables, and lean protein sources they eat. Certain extracted oils, though healthy in moderation should still be limited. Non-complex carbs should be totally eliminated.
Red meat and butter should be at the bottom while whole grain should at the top. There´s no science supporting the claim that saturated fat is bad for you.
@BandofSorensons Becuse It´s bullshit! People with diabetes skipped whole grains and got rid of their diabetes. There´s no health benefits of eating grains.
@Nefus1988 I'm pretty sure the truth is much more complicated than just that. To make the claim that there are NO health benefits from eating whole grains is completely absurd. Whole grains provide folic acid, fiber, and provide vital energy for doing exercise. They are FULL of essential nutrients that you really ought not do without. Certainly just about everyone eats too many carbohydrates but most Americans get them in the from of crap like soda, refined flour, donuts, etc.
@BandofSorensons We have been eating grains for only 10,000 years while we before that ate alot of meat, even our earliest ancestors were scavengers.
In the 1950s when the badly scientific study showed fat and meat was bad we became fatter and sicker. In France they eat alot of fat food like cheese but still France is the thinnest country in Europe while the fatscared UK is the fattest. We see the same thing all over the world.
@Nefus1988 Even if it is true, and I am not sure that it is, what does it matter? I've been eating blueberries only for the last four years or so, does that mean that I shouldn't eat blueberries? My point is that it is dubious to think that we evolved to eat specific varieties of food. Instead, we evolved to eat and, as it turns out, we now have constant access to a very wide variety including grains (which, btw, many animals eat...why not us too?) Is it a fact that the French are healthy?
@Nefus1988 The truth is the French suffer from plenty of heart disease, only it is low when compared to the UK/US where diets are high in low quality forms of saturated fat and processed junk foods. Both the US and UK fry a lot foods, the French do not. Americans tend to eat large portions, the French tend not to. But the typical French diet is hardly optimal and they are FAR from immune to "metabolic syndrome". Further, the French eat large amounts of bread so they would not prove your point.
@PrimalToad1 All grains need to be removed? What are alternatives? I'm sympathetic to your claim that phytates might hinder "absorption of minerals" but in the complex world of chemistry isn't this true of virtually anything? Too much or too little of any given substance can hinder or enhance the bodies chemical interactions with other compounds. So what does this prove? Too much fiber prevents you from acquiring water, but this does not mean don't eat fiber. What, specifically, is bad w gluten?
Ahhh and we're already getting to much junk 'calcium'. There's more problems then benefits with calcium supplements and dairy is a joke. Dairy is a base acid, meaning when you consume it it actually leaches from internal bone calcium! That's why we're having more dairy then ever before in our history, yet osteoporosis is at an all-time high. Please please please do not follow this. Do yourself a favour and search Underground Wellness, the guy's name is Sean Croxton he'll set you straight!!
Woahhh this pyramid is garbage! Ahh I don't know where to start, don't eat grains, don't eat these oils, OLIVE oil, COCONUT oil, those are good oils. Canola, soy, vegetable that's all crap! We're designed to digest grains properly, avoid them, they do nothing in your body it's just filler food. Eat animals, lots of meats, QUALITY is key, grass-fed free range meats. We're meant to eat meat, it provides the full spectrum of amino acids, nothing else does. Search "Underground Wellness" instead
If one eats large amounts of veggies - plant fat comes with that e.g. avocados that are a great source of healthy fat. However, like most pyramids,this is too simplistic. There is no mention of the importance of colour when it comes to fruit and veg. For example, green veggies for iron, red fruit and veg that act to protect us against cancers, etc. Eating different colour fruit and veg is essential in maintaining a healthy diet. Generally, a variety of foods is essential for a balanced diet.
I'd say this pyramid isn't very good, many studies show that so called healthy foods are not that healthy. Like whole grains which cause tooth decay and at leach out all the minerals from our body, or plant oils which aren't that healthy. Indigenous people usually used to get most of their calories from fat, protein and some from carbohydrates and they were really healthy. and we started eating grains just a few thousand years ago, how can we say that they are necessary?
This is some very good info I love this channel If you type in juiceberg thats where you can get the worlds highest antioxidants. We bought some and its GREAT!!!
oil is entirely refined fat. you won't find oil in nature and if we try to beat nature by refining it, we get screwed :(
load up on whatever food tastes good to you plain, as is. if you can't eat it raw and plain, your body is telling you it's not good for your body :) loads of fruit and tender greens come to mind
Some types of fats including omega 3, 6 and 9 compounds, vitamins A, E and D are essential for the proper functioning of the human body. Even some medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid in coconut actually stimulate the immune system and can actually increase metabolism. Simply avoiding fat because it has so many calories could be cheating yourself out of tremendous benefits from eating the right kinds of fats. Now back to the video!

fats are not as bad as commonly thought. you need a certain amount of fat in your diet. some fats (essential fatty acids) cannot be made and must be consumed. also, pork fat gets a bad rapp and is pretty good stuff.

I gaurantee that you will see it says, "not proven to prevent or aid in heart disease" yet is FDA approved to do so, our science on food is broken and if you want to learn about PROPER nutrition look up diets a cancer patient SHOULD eat, because in reality its what we should all eat, please be healthy

Birds are the only animals that can survive on grains primarly. White bread isn't good either but this idea that grains are good in general is ridiculous.

Eat what we could make with fire and you're fine, but we only DEVELOPED v. oil in the last 100 years, its unnatural, at best use coconut oil! humans are wired to eat what is best for them, like meat! like fruit! even like sweet vegetables! like nuts! but things like soy beans r not good for u!

Natalie- Potatoes, good or bad? I always thought that the potato itself was good but all the stuff you pile on top was bad. So if I take a small potato and slice it up with the rest of my veggies, without the butter, sour cream, and cheese and bacon, is that good or bad?

Second, what do you think about this whole low-carb / caveman diet? The reason I ask is that in the Harvard food pyramid, you find whole grains on the bottom, wheras low-carbers try to avoid all kinds of grains and starchy foods, including whole grain. What is your opinion on this issue? Is it okay to eat, say, 2 to 3 portions of whole grain products? If so, does this include potatoes?

Then it's up to you to consume them in a way that feels balanced and gives you good/great results with your body's health, strength, integrity.

BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons each of our bodies reveals. Be/get in tune. Your body reveals by response indicators on and with your body, to what you consume and what you do or don't do. Says who? and why? Not valid questions. Live to perform. Being in tune means you can make sense of how your body responds. "No rules, just right". People have phases. Circumstances are variable. So what is best for you at a given time is variable in different circumstances. Says who? You're responsible for yourself.
ToolsnFire 1 year ago
@ToolsnFire In tune with what? My body reveals what? What is a response indicator? Why are those not valid questions? I am asking you where your sources come from on the assumption that neither one of us is omniscient. I ask why because I want you to give me good reasons for believing what you say you believe. What's invalid is pretending like you can just sputter off any old new age nonsense that you please without any rational justification for what you are saying.
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons, because it really is that simple, it's not new agey at all. You do something, you're body gives you a response. Different people can have somewhat different responses with different things depending on their circumstances. Same thing goes with alcohol, though that's been highly investigated, unlike most other foods, and so there is individual variability as a matter of quantity consumed, the state of the body at a given time, activity levels, and other individualities.
ToolsnFire 1 year ago
@ToolsnFire Nothing is THAT simple. After exercise you can become sore, but it doesn't follow that you should now avoid exercise. People who eat low fiber, high fat diets may feel gastro-intestinal discomfort when they eat food rich in fiber (gas, or a mild stomach ache) and, again, this does not imply that they shouldn't eat food high in fiber. The principle: "listen the responses of your body" thus falls apart given the scrutiny of specific examples. Intuition are unhelpful.
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons, your body gives you results that you can make sense of. Life you gives you plenty of time to make sense of things. You're simplifying incorrectly. I'm simplifying correctly: your body responds to everything you do, consume, or not consume, whether as a matter of choice or environment. What about the people who eat animal foods, plant foods, and have good balance of diet based on what their body indicates as both a matter of desire and results? We've figured it out.
ToolsnFire 1 year ago
@ToolsnFire I'm not simplifying anything, though I accuse you of doing so blindly on the grounds of some kind of new age mysticism that I've never encountered. Give me a concrete example of "your body giving one 'results' that can be made sense of". Who are these people who think they know what is good to eat just based on "what their body indicates" as an intuition? You don't address any of my points, you just attempt to talk around the matter with more poorly conceptualized fuzzy nonsense.
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons, it's not intuition, nor new age mysticism, it's simple cause and effect, for example, eat something which contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, to use one of the more extreme examples other than alcohol 'overconsumption'. Typically what will happen, unless your body is very effective in processing it, you will likely get boils/zits and/or perhaps noticeable partial blockage of a vein, maybe at the temples.
Also, vegetable oils in many people cause rashes and zits.
ToolsnFire 11 months ago
@ToolsnFire Why do you believe this? I'm pretty sure what you are saying isn't true, though I agree hydrogenated fat is unhealthy. You could eat margarine and NOT get zits. You MIGHT, with some experimentation, establish a correlation b/w your zits and eating certain foods but it is an invalid leap in logic to assume an actual causal connection. We know that hydrogenated oil IS bad thanks to real scientific studies & NOT people's intuitions about their what's causing their pimples.

@BandofSorensons, what I've said is very valid, by repeated experience over decades of personal experience. Cause and effect which is readily correlatable, such that if you do away with the causative factor, the symptom goes away.Here's another: eat too many fruits/yogurt which have a fair amount, more or less, of acid and/or sugar, wounds don't heal as quickly, substantially, generally speaking. Eat meat with animal fat, - heal much quicker and healthfully. I'm simplifying for the comments.

Reason:

Cause slow metabolism, sluggishness and damages the thyroid.
Saturated oils=lean, healthy people
Unsatured=fat, unhealthy people.
unsatured oils also have trans fatty acids which are now realized to be the leading cause of heart disease.

Saturated fat does NOT lead to heart disease. If you are eating grass-fed beef then enjoy it daily if you wish. While this food guide pyramid is better than the USDA one it is still not at all ideal.
Ditch grains, eat wild/grass-fed/pastured animal products and plenty of veggies. Corn, safflower, Sunflower seed oil and more are NOT healthy due to the omega 6 fatty acid content. Coconut oil is AWESOME, olive oil as well along with avocados.
PrimalToad1 1 year ago
@PrimalToad1 Saturated fat alone does not definitively CAUSE heart disease like lighting a cigarette causes it to burn but you bet your biscuits that it is part and parcel to the larger story about how it is people acquire "heart disease". In fact, smoking cigarettes don't CAUSE heart disease either, by this use of the term. Grass fed beef is a great alternative but it really shouldn't be eaten "daily" (what about portions? How much grass fed meat do you think one ought to consume?)

Regardless of how popular the book (Atkins, Primal, etc) what is being sold is just a book and it need not come very close to the truth on these grounds.
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons You are EXTREMELY mistaken, PLEASE do research before you spread false information!! Saturated fat is NOT to blame for heart disease- on the CONTRARY, TRANS fats which are found in UNSATURED oils are to blame.. SATURATED fats are GOOD for you- PLEASE do research.
Yoni89 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons You're mistaken, unsaturated fat contains trans fat, which is the cause of heart disease- SATURATED fats on the other hand are GOOD for you.

@Yoni89 Why do you think that "unsaturated fat" contains "transfat"? Do you even know what transfats are? Where are you getting this information?

Now, if I spoon some coconut oil in my mouth (in solid form) I taste that wonderful flavor, my body keeps asking for more, same with olive oil, two of the healthy oils.

@Yoni89 Okay, now you just sound like a nut. Seriously? You gag and "immediately feel sick"? Can it be because you have an irrational belief about vegetable oil and thus experience a psychologically motivated response? Don't get me wrong, I don't think "vegetable oil" is at all healthy save in minute amounts (a small bit of olive oil for instance) but to think that you'd gag from it is silly. Do you gag when you eat ice cream or other diabetes inducing treats? I doubt it.

@BandofSorensons Oh, and just a follow up- the Masai (nomads) eat mainly beef, milk and blood- which according to US government "studies" should cause them to drop dead from heart disease by the time they hit puberty, but somehow, magically, all this deadly saturated fat (FOUND NORMALLY IN HUMAN DIETS) causes these people to be strong, have AMAZINGLY low cholesterol and virtually NO heart disease. Want to blame genetics? Good luck.
Yoni89 1 year ago
@Yoni89 Masai nomads might not die often from heart disease but at the very same time those people are lucky to see their 40th birthday. It makes no sense to compare them to the general public, they don't have anything like the US publics life expectancy or lifestyle circumstances. Maybe a diet that high in saturated fat would make more sense for nomads in comparison to inactive American and Europeans? I don't blame genetics either, I have a less simplistic view of all this than you think.
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons Meanwhile, on their high fat diets, they have low blood pressure and low cholesterol, in USA heart disease can strike at ANY age, so the short lifespan of the masai is irrelevant- people under 40 die of heart disease in the US as well, under 40 most definitely- the Masai have no recorded heart disease. Explain, please?
Yoni89 1 year ago
@Yoni89 I am not committed to the position you think I am: saturated = heart disease. Just the same, I am not committed to the assumption that it (and other sources of fat) has nothing to do with the bigger picture. The Japanese supposedly didn't have any significant levels of heart disease either until they were introduced to western foods, including much larger amounts of saturated fat. Masai don't have low cholesterol, they have lower cholesterol, and most people die of heart attacks over 40!
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons my point stands that masai have no heart disease, in USA people as young as 1 can have heart disease, look up the statistics. Now, obviously if someone that young has heart disease it's likely not related to diet, but heart disease can and does develop in teens, early twenties, late thirties.. in the USA.
Yoni89 1 year ago
@Yoni89 That is absolutely ridiculous. "Heart disease" is a function of years of slow degenerative processes, there are not infants with heart disease in the operative sense anywhere. While it is entirely possible to speak of an infant with a disease of the heart, we are not talking about heart disease. Heart disease does, by definition, begins to develop at the moment one exhibits behaviors that puts them at risk for heart disease, including eating excessive amount of fat (saturated fat too).

Eat animals and their products, eat plants and their products, be 'in tune' to understand what your body reveals, and act accordingly.Everything you consume your body gives a response

@ToolsnFire Heart disease is more complicated than even that but you are right to suggest that extracted oils (though not all of them) are implicated in its onset. Further, you are correct to suggest that a diet rich in un-nutritious refined sugar sources (honey, flour, etc) are another major contributer to the problem. So is the lack of cardiovascular exercise needed to keep your circulatory system strong and healthy. But eating too much animal fat is also part of this story, It's a rich story.

It makes no sense to include exercise in the pyramid. If it were a health pyramid as opposed to a food pyramid then this would make sense but there is still more to health than "exercise daily" and "eat these proportions". Further putting fats at the bottom is misleading. People get enough healthy fats from the fruits, nuts, vegetables, and lean protein sources they eat. Certain extracted oils, though healthy in moderation should still be limited. Non-complex carbs should be totally eliminated.

Red meat and butter should be at the bottom while whole grain should at the top. There´s no science supporting the claim that saturated fat is bad for you.

@Nefus1988 Really? What is your justification for saying something like this?
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@BandofSorensons Becuse It´s bullshit! People with diabetes skipped whole grains and got rid of their diabetes. There´s no health benefits of eating grains.
Nefus1988 1 year ago
@Nefus1988 I'm pretty sure the truth is much more complicated than just that. To make the claim that there are NO health benefits from eating whole grains is completely absurd. Whole grains provide folic acid, fiber, and provide vital energy for doing exercise. They are FULL of essential nutrients that you really ought not do without. Certainly just about everyone eats too many carbohydrates but most Americans get them in the from of crap like soda, refined flour, donuts, etc.

@BandofSorensons We have been eating grains for only 10,000 years while we before that ate alot of meat, even our earliest ancestors were scavengers.
In the 1950s when the badly scientific study showed fat and meat was bad we became fatter and sicker. In France they eat alot of fat food like cheese but still France is the thinnest country in Europe while the fatscared UK is the fattest. We see the same thing all over the world.

@Nefus1988 Even if it is true, and I am not sure that it is, what does it matter? I've been eating blueberries only for the last four years or so, does that mean that I shouldn't eat blueberries? My point is that it is dubious to think that we evolved to eat specific varieties of food. Instead, we evolved to eat and, as it turns out, we now have constant access to a very wide variety including grains (which, btw, many animals eat...why not us too?) Is it a fact that the French are healthy?
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@Nefus1988 The truth is the French suffer from plenty of heart disease, only it is low when compared to the UK/US where diets are high in low quality forms of saturated fat and processed junk foods. Both the US and UK fry a lot foods, the French do not. Americans tend to eat large portions, the French tend not to. But the typical French diet is hardly optimal and they are FAR from immune to "metabolic syndrome". Further, the French eat large amounts of bread so they would not prove your point.

@BandofSorensons There is not a damn thing in grains that you can't get from a more optimal source of food.
Grains contain phytates that bind to minerals which prevents your body from absorbing minerals. Gluten is a HUGE problem as well.
Ditch grains for better health.
PrimalToad1 1 year ago
@PrimalToad1 All grains need to be removed? What are alternatives? I'm sympathetic to your claim that phytates might hinder "absorption of minerals" but in the complex world of chemistry isn't this true of virtually anything? Too much or too little of any given substance can hinder or enhance the bodies chemical interactions with other compounds. So what does this prove? Too much fiber prevents you from acquiring water, but this does not mean don't eat fiber. What, specifically, is bad w gluten?
BandofSorensons 1 year ago
@PrimalToad1 The phytates are in the hard fiberous part of grains, etc. Remove the fiber removes the phytates.

Ahhh and we're already getting to much junk 'calcium'. There's more problems then benefits with calcium supplements and dairy is a joke. Dairy is a base acid, meaning when you consume it it actually leaches from internal bone calcium! That's why we're having more dairy then ever before in our history, yet osteoporosis is at an all-time high. Please please please do not follow this. Do yourself a favour and search Underground Wellness, the guy's name is Sean Croxton he'll set you straight!!

Woahhh this pyramid is garbage! Ahh I don't know where to start, don't eat grains, don't eat these oils, OLIVE oil, COCONUT oil, those are good oils. Canola, soy, vegetable that's all crap! We're designed to digest grains properly, avoid them, they do nothing in your body it's just filler food. Eat animals, lots of meats, QUALITY is key, grass-fed free range meats. We're meant to eat meat, it provides the full spectrum of amino acids, nothing else does. Search "Underground Wellness" instead

I think it's true: a tablespoon of olive oil is enough for your daily intake.

If one eats large amounts of veggies - plant fat comes with that e.g. avocados that are a great source of healthy fat. However, like most pyramids,this is too simplistic. There is no mention of the importance of colour when it comes to fruit and veg. For example, green veggies for iron, red fruit and veg that act to protect us against cancers, etc. Eating different colour fruit and veg is essential in maintaining a healthy diet. Generally, a variety of foods is essential for a balanced diet.

GedasTraceur 1 year ago
I'd say this pyramid isn't very good, many studies show that so called healthy foods are not that healthy. Like whole grains which cause tooth decay and at leach out all the minerals from our body, or plant oils which aren't that healthy. Indigenous people usually used to get most of their calories from fat, protein and some from carbohydrates and they were really healthy. and we started eating grains just a few thousand years ago, how can we say that they are necessary?

oil is entirely refined fat. you won't find oil in nature and if we try to beat nature by refining it, we get screwed :(
load up on whatever food tastes good to you plain, as is. if you can't eat it raw and plain, your body is telling you it's not good for your body :) loads of fruit and tender greens come to mind
