Dr. Jonny Bowden: The Perfect Diet

[KrystalessR]

Really? Can keep a lion alive off of chocolate chip cookies? I'm not sure what kind of cookies you are making, but cats are obligate carnivores, they would die or be extremely ill without meat. No you cannot keep a lion or any cat alive OB chocolate chip cookies. No one should listen to this guy, he doesn't think.

short answer : Paleo diet

[datzfast]

i lost 37 pounds of stored fatty acids in 2 months. my body had to use that fat as fuel for energy. why didnt i die? to hear most idiots talk, that much fat should have killed me.

[TrueGreatness73]

atkins baby

[Mekelsior]

@TrueGreatness73 Atkins is just a 200 year old fad diet that never went away even though it is demonstrated over and over that it is the most unhealthy way of living, unless you go to the paleo diets where you eat raw meat sometimes rotten. Go to Atkins exposed dot org.. for more information if you want, and pcrm dot org for a healthy alternative. Wish you all the best and God bless. 

[TrueGreatness73]

@Mekelsior You said, "demonstrated over and over that it is the most unhealthy way of living". LMAO.. Please dont tell me to go to atkins exposed as that website is ran by all the haters Atkins had. I am in great shape and would love to go on skype with you and upload a video on our debate about how wrong you are. 200 year old diet fad? Atkins diet is not even that old however the way of its eating goes way before 200 years. My grandpa is 98 years old on atkins. I am 5 years going strong. You??

[Mekelsior]

@TrueGreatness73 There are people that use drugs that live to be very old, some smokers die when they are way above 100, so does that mean it is healthy? Your argument is thus fallacious. Truth about diet and health, it will always be a controversy no matter how much science backs up fruits and vegetables. Now we can do this, we can do a 30 day experiment, you eat nothing but meat and fat, no plants and no supplements whatsoever, and I will eat only plants and fruits, what do you think? :)

[TrueGreatness73]

@Mekelsior Hit me up on Skype if you want to see me. I been on ketosis for 1 year now. I am way above you. I would love to see how you look compared to me. I would also love to see how fit you are compared to my 6'5 245 pound frame with 10 percent body fat. I have been a vegan before. I have done the FD-gay requirements. I have read tons of books. You are old news. Please lets jump on cam and we can debate and I will record for the world to see who looks and presents more healthier!!

[Mekelsior]

@TrueGreatness73 I have been a vegan for 3-4 months so it would not be fair to pit me against you who have been vegan for how many years and ketosis for 1 year? But you are telling me you only eat meat and fat and no vegetables at all? Amazing :) How is your blood work?

[TrueGreatness73]

@Mekelsior WHo said anything about not eating vegetables? Your comprehension skills right there says it all about how you look at diet. You dont pay attention to full detail. I only eat veggies and meat and on my carb up days I eat fruit. If you are healthy with veagan then I am happy for you. Just dont knock what you dont know about and only read of. I have done your diet along with many others to speak from each stand point. I only eat what grows from the grown and healthy animals.

[Mekelsior]

@TrueGreatness73 Sorry buddy, the argument was "Meat is better than vegetables" not meat and veggies are better than veggies. My premise was simple, 30 days on meat for you and 30 days on veggies for me, then we compare bloodwork. :) Now I do not mind you having the atkins way of life, but there is no science to back up your side, if you want to live the best life and be active, veggies and fruit is the best way to go. You can survive on anything really, but that is not the goal. =)

[Mekelsior]

@TrueGreatness73 You have done Low Fat High Carb diet before? How many calories did you eat? How many calories of fat did you eat? How about proteins? I do not knock your diet, I`m simply refuting your argument that science says you need meat to live to your outmost potential. There may be the occational exception, if you look at very very sick people that are allergic to pretty much anything, but it is doubtful that you are one of them. So we apply reason and logic. =)

[TrueGreatness73]

@Mekelsior Did you know that mainstream scientist and doctors been wrong for a long time? Did you know that it was a team of lawyers that recommended the American Food Pyramid? Did you know once the American food pyramid was recommended and people increase their uptake of carbs the increase of heart disease and diabetes sky rocketed? Did you know that fat is a better energy source than glucose aka bad carbs? On the Atkins diet the only carbs we can have is from veggies! I dont get sick. You??

[Mekelsior]

@TrueGreatness73 Glad I don`t listen to mainstream then, but more like doctors and scientists such as John McDougall, Walter J. Veith, Neil Bernard, Esselstyn, Doug Graham, and following the practices that is far established by the most excellent sources. Now you see, the main issue here I believe lies in the paradigms, the one paradigm assumes evolution while the other assume creation. At least it is for me.. and no I don`t get sick when I follow my diet, if I diviate from it I do get sick :)

[Freelea]

I notice that paleo raw meaters are always battling the bulge. Eat an animals body fat then wear it later. YUK.

[TomikokkoC360]

He pretty much summarizes it all,

IF IT DOESN'T FLY

IF IT DOESN'T SWIM

IF IT DOESN'T HAVE 4 LEGS

IF IT ISN'T A VEGETABLE, FRUIT OR BERRIE

DON'T EAT IT!!!

[raspberrybaggio]

@TomikokkoC360  Cookies don't have 4 legs. Woohoo !

[mickycheese27]

I wonder if this guy has a six pack if eats a healthy diet?

[HXCpr0n]

Dr. Jimmy Brungus is a pretty cool guy

[raspberrybaggio]

i like his common sense approach.

[robert1268]

Dr. Bowden, I plan to buy your book, but I have one question. Dr. Barry Sears has stated in The Zone that studies show that low carb diets and ketosis has shown to activate fat cells buy several times. i.e. making them more efficient at storing fat? Would this also indicate fat cells would become more efficient at releasing fat?

[yardape99]

Buy a Walk Man? Is this guy stuck in 1989?

[ifarcast]

@yardape99 An example so idiots can understand. *cough*

[Squabbles10]

Deadset Goose !!!!

[Princesa47k]

Eat the chocolate (homemade) just after your paleo meal and you wont need to excercise cause you wont even want to finish the whole bar, to much food, no needed.

I agree, Excercise increases muscle - Muscle increases BMR - Increased BMR = Weight loss

Running 1 hour at the gym after your low-fat muffin is just pointless

[Princesa47k]

"What is making us fat is that we're eating the wrong food"

Ohhhhhhhhh so true.. Doesn't have anything to do with calories in and out... It's NUTRIENTS IN - NUTRIENTS OUT, when you eat a paleo diet (1. meat/chiken/fish, full fat 2. veggies 3. berries 4. nuts in that order) you CAN'T OVEREAT (Even if u try to xD), your body actually tells you It's enough, i'm not longer starving lets wait 5-6 hours

[Knayno]

well yeah but if you stop eating sooner then you eat fewer calories

[Princesa47k]

Actually when you eating really low carb even if you eat 200% more than what you normally eat you generally wont put any weigh on. You wont loose but you wont put either.

Insulin stores fat from dietary sources, when insulin is low nothing will store the calories so they'll be used as energy, your cells thermogenesis increases. I believe in caloric deficit when loosing weight not when maintaining. On HC if i eat 1600 cals i put weight, on 80% fat diet i can eat 2500+ and wont put a pound

[bsf3]

DrJonnyBowden; what are your thoughts on Asian diets and there apparent good health, we are told they are low fat high car?

Thoughts on raw milk?

[Princesa47k]

mmmmm China is not the best example, Japan is... heaps of fish and veggies, tiny portions of rice. Fish, Fish, Fish lol

However many studies suggest that there are 2 ways of lowering colesterol and improving health (and longevity). 1. Lowering carbs 2. lowering calories to a very low point. Last one seems to be the case of Asian countries (it's changing though)

Gary Taubes explains this masterfully on Good Calories, Bad Calories.

[Squabbles10]

cholesterol is our friend !!!! weston price my friend

[Princesa47k]

I forgot, americans are eating about 500gr of carbs a day, most of them refined, i would say Asian don't even get close to 150gr and most of them are from veggies and fruits, little sugar (westernized ones are actually getting sick)

[pixiecherries]

continued from below... I eat less and don't get those big hunger pangs like I did when I ate junk food. Once you body adjusts to eating real food, like oranges, apples, veggies, lean meats, etc - you will eat less. But only if you cut out ALL processed food and sugar. You cannot do both. It won't work. I never eat bread or pizza or anything else premade with the exception of Pepperidge farm whole wheat crackers. Eating junk food almost killed me. It's amazing what real foof does for your life.

[pixiecherries]

Innervoice. I totally agree. I only eat real food. In a few months my health has completely turned around. I lost 14 lbs. I cut out high fructose corn syrup first off! It's evil. No kidding. I do not eat anything with corn filler in it either. I only drink water or grapefruit juice and a lot of carrot juice. I eat salmon, tuna, baked chicken. No sauces. Lemon juice and spices ok. Frozen fruit smoothies made wtih rice milk. Never food with preservatives. I save money cause I eat less w/no hunger.

[innervoice69]

#1 Eating more than 2 handfuls is too much.

#2 Foods with preservatives

#3 Excersise helps the metabolism.

Eat right and excersise damnit!!

Look on the food triangle. it is the basic. if it comes in a wrapper, its not good for you... duh. Why is this soo fuckin complicated for people to understand?

[thabooger]

becuase things that come in a wrapper are more affordable and its ready to eat most of the time. and not all things in wrappers are bad for u. i eat protien bars after working out.

[alanrlow]

Most protein bars are absolute rubbish and about the worst thing you could eat so don't pat yourself on the back there.

[eli960]

two handfuls is kind of anarchicish

[MisterQuebec]

I've not watched your other videos yet, but this one is good start!

[sans15]

Because of this specified diet I am now healthy... Had I known about this earlier perhaps I would not have been a human test tube?

[sans15]

BRAVO!

[NaturalNutrition]

Looks like you're really into natural nutritition! You've provided some good information. It's great to see some one else really contribute. Well Done

[sans15]

Needed to be said.
