Which Diet is Best for Your Body Type #601

[cybervigilante]

Just remember - the first three words of Diet, are DIE!

If you look at people with cancer, TB, AIDS, all about to kick the bucket, they're all skinny. Being skinny is unhealthy. Cholesterol protects you against shock, so you're less likely to die in an accident.

[ThePuritan6]

I'm a VATA/KAPHA, can I go raw and clean out, reverse diabetes, heal leaky gut juicing veggies, eating fruit?

or Create a video response  * I wear neck beads made of tulsi (holy basil) given to me at the time of my initiation into the Vaisnava (Sanatana Dharma) tradition by my gurudev. It helps me to stay connected to him and my vows.

I often carry a magnetite rock, loadstones are have a profound effect on teh body and can act in a sense as battery charger for the cells.

Gabriel's hat looks like a mushroom

[younes0807]

@sbaker3232

he looks like a sick psychopath :p thats better ?

[hairy0pothead]

genius

[histerics3]

wow - Gabriel looks great, I want to eat whatever he's eating!

[mikek241]

To say that your body heals you, not the food or that exercise builds muscle and not the food -- is like saying the car gets you from A to B and not the gas you put in it. BOTH ARE REQUIRED TO SEE RESULTS.

[723465]

@mikek241 Obviously. But, sitting around eating, greens for example, without much exercise, NO MUSCLE will be built.

[mikek241]

@723465 ...just as working out 7 days a week and eating bread will still get you nowhere. It's a symbiotic relationship between fuel and exertion, you cannot place more dominance over any one variable.

[mikek241]

Does anybody know of a really good book to read on this subject of metabolic/nutritional typing and the ideal diet for the individual...???

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

[723465]

@mikek241 Start off with 80/10/10 by Douglas Graham.

It is incredibly explained, backed up with lots of information, and easy to read.

[mikek241]

@723465 80/10/10 is anything but a typing book. It gives you a generalized breakdown and assumes falsely that all humans should eat the same diet.

[723465]

@mikek241 ok, make sure you listen closely to this ^ video then. do what's good for you ;)

[LoveMatcha]

my memories :-)))

[gargoyl0]

A glass of whole milk 150 calories

A snicker bar 122 calories

Where is the milk going? The snicker bar?

youlance29 I am a chef and do eat rare meat, and take responsibility as kevin calls for and I agree. Those combinations that you have going on are bad.

[LaraHastings]

Oh wow, that thing about the mesa sounds really interesting! I would say my sacred thing would be probably my tarot cards.

Finally some info in rawfood and body types, I'm typical vata, and I find that raw food is hard to fit into a vata diet.

[motoxbuddy]

Very good info.

[gargoyl0]

Ok we will say that you eat 30 Bananas at 105 calories x 30 =3150

Two philly cheese steaks = 3308 calories. Now what are those bananas doing for you, where are they going on your body? Where are those pilly cheese steaks going? No nutrition, straight to your a**.

[youlance29]

I've found the ultimate summer treat to be a banana cream on top of a juicy raw steak. It's so summertime delicious and refreshing!!

[chaquitabanana31]

wow he looks the best ive ever seen him in this video! I think he has a tan and looks more plump in the face. I liked this interview.

[gargoyl0]

Sustainability. What Daniel Vitalis says that what your body needs grows all around you, It's true. This is what is being said down below, " a healthy person lives in a tropical area and is very active can thrive on a high fruit diet," high fruit yelds growth in those areas. Other regions of the world have the plants that you need to survive. Sustainability.

[LaraHastings]

@gargoyl0 I wish that were true. If it is, that would mean that I should eat nothing but potatioes and fish in the winter, because nothing grows here during winter. Doesn't sound healthy to me :(

[choicesdefineus]

@LaraHastings perhaps your heritage is from another country. In that case id say move there or accept non local food.

[gargoyl0]

Why do you think GMO's, high froctose corn syrup, and the bovine hormone are illegal in the U.K. and most of Europe.

[GabyBRR]

I really like videos with Gabriel, thank you for sharing! <3 <3 Peace

[723465]

guys.. read 80/10/10

diabetes does not have anything to do with fruit sugar!!!

[green2lean]

@723465, I've tried many diets and I have to say I do not see much benefit in a high fruit diet. I think a healthy person that lives in a tropical area and is very active can thrive on a high fruit diet, but most people are not healthy. Leaves are for healing. The liver cannot process high amounts of fructose at one time. That's scientific fat. The remaining fructose is stored as fat.

I've seen the benefits of cutting out fruit sugars myself until the body is healed.

[rey777777]

@green2lean yes u r right BUT for other hand I see ppl here in youtube eating 30bananas a day or 1big watermelon for breakfast or lot of oranges AND they r not fat at all, AT ALL!! That's what I don't understand!!!!

[jetsung89]

@rey777777 I had doubt about the 30 bananas a day type diet until I try it. It seemsto be working alot better for me than hat fat raw diet. I eat about 13 bananas and a variety of other fruits a day, and a big salad at night and green juicing once or twice a day. And my health has been getting better and better since I started this 2 months ago.

[green2lean]

@rey777777, Who? Message me if you prefer. I did a watermelon feast myself for 10 days and gained weight so I know watermelon can make you gain weight. Bananas on the other hand have a high glucose to fructose ratio and are better absorbed. There is a difference between carrying body fat and being fat. Are these people quite muscular or soft looking? How much do they exercise a day? You can burn fructose off if you're riding a bike ten miles a day. A fatty liver doesn't mean you are fat.

[rey777777]

@green2lean Who? Duriander, DanTheMan, Shanga, etc... n' they're muscular BUT u r right: I can see they exercise! That's the master key with whatever we eat, right?

I like what u said about "eating greens n' been muscular even w/out exercise".

Then if we exercise a lil'bit we get bigger. I love it. lol

[green2lean]

@rey777777, exactly. I mean look what spinach did for Popeye. Did he exercise? No. He just ate spinach and bam!

I've lifted weights off and on since I was 17 so I realize that resistance builds muscle and that what we do in regard to training is important but diet is important also believe that.

[723465]

@green2lean clearly you have not read the book. I will not go on a few paragraphs explaining what you are stating is incorrect.

[green2lean]

@723465, I have real life experience to go on. I don't need to read his book. Try eating high fruit without exercise and see what happens. On the other hand, try primarily greens with no exercise and compare. Greens are for healing, fruit is for food. Most people in the world need healing due to poor nutrition all their life. Fruit is great for someone in top health that is active in a warm region.

[723465]

@green2lean by the way... in 811 it particularly states: "it is physically impossible to be healthy without physical exercise", so you should try to do at least some, instead of just saying you don't do it. Also, i'm sure about your 'life experience', but frankly, you should read it. Maybe you'll understand why you do not gain weight, and what I mean.

Good luck.

[green2lean]

@723465, I agree with you that exercise is critical to good health. My point is that if you primarily greens you're going to be very lean and muscular even without a lot of exercise. You can't say the same for fruit in my experience. Of course region and genetics play a role also.

I'm just not a proponent of the diet you speak of. I'd tried it and it's better than the standard american diet but I do not feel its the ideal diet to heal with.

[thebrinksf]

@green2lean humans can't live off of only greens. there isn't enough calories. you'd have to eat a garbage bag full of lettuce daily. Fruits are denser in calories. That's why it's important to eat more fruits than greens. we need greens for the minerals and only 1-3% of our calories.

[green2lean]

@thebrinksf, I never said only eat greens.  I said most Americans are sick and leaves (greens) heal the body, not fruit. We need to get in a state of good health before we focus on fruits (food). There are lifestyles that can thrive on high fruit diets in the right region with the right health. You can get calories from other vegetables than fruit. I also believe we can do well on meat but that's another debate I am not going to get in to. Some of what you say has merit though.

[ButchBerryMusic]

@green2lean fruit heals the body in conjunction with leafy greens. both offer things the other can't or doesn't have as much as. all lives thrive off of high fruit diets because thats what humans are designed to eat no matter what region. You don't see birds eating meat because they're in a different region. Fruit isn't a vegetable. you said you can get calories from other vegetables than fruit. Meat has proven to be a carcinogenic, but we'll leave that topic.

[723465]

@green2lean 1) No food builds muscle. ONLY the PHYSICAL STIMULATION of muscles does. Only. If you're talking about the 'amino acids' in greens, don't mind that. Our bodies produce Amino Acids for repairing muscle tissue.

2) NO FOODS HEAL YOU. NONE. Only our own bodies do! ONLY. And what are is every cell in our bodies powered by? Simple sugars / carbohydrates / fruit.

There are many misconceptions you seem to believe. I know I did one time too... read up on Douglas Graham's books.

[green2lean]

@723465, no foods heal you? Wow okay. The bible clearly states that fruit is for food and the leave are for healing. Of course most vegans don't believe in the bible because they are far too intelligent for such nonsense. I suppose antibiotics don't kill bacteria either. You can't say that no food heals the body and then say exercise builds muscle. Can't you see your own contradiction? Doug Graham is a man and nothing more. His opinion is no better than mine. Any diet works vs SAD.

[green2lean]

@723465, are familiar with what certain drugs can do to the body? There are people that are very lean, pure muscle that never work out - at all. Yes, there are essential and non-essential amino acids. The body does produce some. I understand this. I've tried almost every legal supplement, workout program and diet known. I know what works and what does not - at least for me.

I agree with some of your points in some way but you're too rigid. It's not that black and white.

[723465]

@green2lean "Lean, pure muscle blah blah". All those people are, including me, is single-digit body fat. I am a runner, and I train twice a day on many occasions; obviously I have an ectomorph bodytype. However, to GROW MUSCLE the ONE AND ONLY way is through EXERCISE. And yes, I grow upper body muscle through an 811 ratio.

And no, foods do not heal. Be it leaves or berries. Our bodies are the only thing that truly "heals" us. It is a common misconception.

[green2lean]

@723465, if the body heals and not foods, then the body builds muscle and not exercise. If you want to stand by the view point that the body does what it does, then I'll agree with you, but you cannot mix and match that theory to fit your needs. The body builds muscle, not exercise.

Anyway this is going nowhere so ciao

[723465]

@green2lean are you dumb, or pretending to be? I'm not mixing anything. CLEARLY you need exercise to build muscles EITHER WAY. But, you DO NOT need to eat greens to aid in repairing muscle tissue after a workout, (aka, especially for you, muscle growth). What the body needs is carbohydrates.

I hope you don't think you can sit around on your ass all day and eat greens, and then think you're building muscle. If you do, you're an idiot.

[MrHealthQuest]

@723465 No carbohydrate has ever built or repaired muscle

[723465]

@MrHealthQuest the body repairs muscle. in order to get energy for that process, it needs fructose and glucose. 

[MrHealthQuest]

@723465 Thnats a HUGE stretch from what you said. Stay honest.

[723465]

@MrHealthQuest Stay on your quest.

[723465]

@green2lean you know what, I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. I don't even post anything on youtube usually...

Make sure you do what feels right for you! Especially that you've experimented with alot. Good luck.

[rgold36]

So what did you think of the song i wrote and recorded and made a video for on my channel Kevin. I have been waiting for your reply. I love your videos and I hope you can like mine too. I look forward to your reply.

[rawshawna]

It's great to see my master's professor in the Culture of Life Institute, on this show! As a vata-pita, Gabriel's information has helped me, after years of struggle, to finally succeed on live foods! Keep it simple and if you are struggling, don't give up! Simply try investigating some of Dr. Gabriel Cousens' deeper information. He's been doing love foods for over 35 years! Read Conscious Eating or Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine. Love!

[Flaviomoy]

Man!, I really wish I knew more about the good Doctor...I just can't get over his HAT!...the whole video I was clinging to my seat thinking the thing was going to fall of his head in any second!!! I barely heard what he was saying : s

[green2lean]

@Flaviomoy, lol

[LaraHastings]

@Flaviomoy haha. I think that hat of his has grown in on him, that is why it stays put. He always wears it ^^

[Flaviomoy]

@Flaviomoy Update: okay I saw more videos and I guess he always has that hat on, but c'mon guys...in this particular video it looked like it was clinging for dear life by one follicle.

[tokinaito]

hes hard ot follow, i had to watch this twice. It goes along well with Aruyvedic studies and books like that of Prakriti by Dr. Robert E. Svaboda.

[ButchBerryMusic]

Trick question. All humans should eat a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. body and blood type make no difference. all other speces eat the same for their speces. humans are no different.

[green2lean]

@ButchBerryMusic, whoa, now that's ignorant don't you think? A black man and a white man sit in the sun naked for two hours during the summer. The next day the black man feels great and the white man has burned skin and can barely move.  One man is going to process vitamin D differently from the other also. We are all genetically different inside as well as outside (skin color) and need different amounts of different things.

[thebrinksf]

@green2lean no, it's very astute. A cow and a bird sit next to each other and they both eat grains for the rest of their life. The bird is going to process it and use it as nutrition and the cow won't. We eat to design. The ape is the closest anatomy to a human and they eat primarily fruit with some greens. All humans are designed to eat the same.

[green2lean]

@thebrinksf, you believe too much of what other people say and write. You should test your own body and use your own common sense. As for primates they hunt other animals including other primates and are meat eaters.  Additionally some primates eat mostly leaves and only small amounts of fruit.

I would agree that humans can live off a high fruit diet - if they are healthy. I do not believe a high fruit diet is a healing diet except that its healthier than eating cheeseburgers and fries.

[ButchBerryMusic]

@green2lean sounds like you believe too much of what other people say and write. I believe what i have tested on my body as well as other educators who have tested it out on hundreds of people and common sense. Bonobos do not hunt and eat other monkeys and meat eaters. We're only talking about the apes closest to human anatomy. Even sick humans can thrive off of a high fruit diet and in fact have used fruit to make themselves well.

[green2lean]

@ButchBerryMusic, I challenge that people have used fruit to get well. I bet you cannot find an single incident of that. Was it the fruit that got them well, or replacing something toxic with fruit so that the body could heal itself? You see changing diet and lifestyle can allow the body to heal, but that's totally different from a food such as leaves (herbs) being able to heal.

My point is a person could not change anything except adding leaves and still heal. Can a fruit do that?

[green2lean]

@green2lean, let me say this one more time as it is written in the bible. Fruit is for food and the leaves are for healing.

[ButchBerryMusic]

@green2lean that's always the case with fruits OR greens. people are not doing something healthy. so they replace it with doing something healthy. Show me one incident where someone healed their broken toe from a leaf or a ruptured spleen.

[green2lean]

@ButchBerryMusic, now you're just being stupid.  If you're not going to at least keep the debate somewhat honest, I'm not participating. It was my foolishness to entertain the discussion to begin with and I apologize for that and will try not to make the mistake going forward.

[ButchBerryMusic]

@green2lean translation = you can't support your statement so insult the other person with names. got it. ok, now i know how you are in discussions I'll remember that and call you out on it.

[green2lean]

@ButchBerryMusic, you are ignoring that I have already stated that a high fruit diet is better than a diet of cheeseburgers, french fries and ice cream. If a person changes from cheeseburgers to fruit of course they are going to feel better and heal in some aspect.

My point is that fruit does NOT heal. Leaves do! You're confusing completing changing your lifestyle with the ability for something we ingest to heal disease.

[ButchBerryMusic]

@green2lean Yes, fruit does heal AND so do leaves. You seem to be confused. People have healed themselves with fruit.

[duendeni]

@green2lean

Actually, 'race' is a cultural fiction in so far as genetics are concerned. There is more intra than extra-"race" variation - by which I mean there is more gentic variability on average within the north and southern side of the african continent than there is between one black american and one white american. skin colour variation is a morphological variation which is equivalent to differences in hair colour. I do agree that we are all genetically different, though!

[duendeni]

@duendeni

But I guess it can be made too much of. I mean, while calorie/vitamin/mineral/protei­n requirements will vary within the human poulation at large - they are never going to be completely different. Just look at any other animal species.

[green2lean]

@duendeni, I didn't intend to discuss race. I was talking about skin color because it's genetic difference we can see visually and we know that the genetic difference of two people will respond differently to the exact same variable. I agree that we are also internally different. You seem to be agreeing with me. The point is two people can eat the exact same thing and their body will react totally differently. I am agreeing with the man speaking in this video where some are not getting it.

[MisterTissueBox]

So... a protein type should eat a lot of nuts and seeds and less greens and fruits? Is that what Gabriel is saying? He's not very clear on that. If you can't eat high-purine meats, then what?

What about mixed types? Just half-and-half of nuts and seeds to greens and fruits?

[crosspecans]

what a treat to hear from cousens himself. thanks for bringing this to us. waves~~~
