 You know, I'm not a fan of pyramids for more than one reason. They seem to be everywhere in every company's logo Car emblems on the dollar bill, but I'll try to stay focused for this video. So in 1992 The USDA came out with what they called the food guide pyramid. Ironically, I was born in 1992 to save the day and This doesn't really have anything to do with dietary recommendations What humans need to be optimally healthy? It corresponded directly to the United States Agricultural production what the farmers were making so if people ate these foods in this ratio Then big ag would make and you know the amount of money they're supposed to they wouldn't have overproduction or underproduction of any food and This was from 92 through I believe 2005 So they have changed things more recently and if you look up different countries Depending on what that country produced will dictate what their dietary recommendations around now We know everyone's moving towards like the new world order plant-based eat your bugs diet But we have fats oils and sweets use sparingly basically scare people away Two to three servings of various dairy products two to three servings of meat poultry fish eggs and beans and nuts are in that category Which doesn't make much sense three to five servings of vegetables two to four servings of fruit and six to eleven servings of bread Cereal rice and pasta now to be fair if you ate all organic High quality versions of all of these foods You would probably still be healthy I mean it's certainly not good for children because there is a lack of animal protein Maybe in middle age to older people that don't have as high of a protein requirement. They're not as active This might have actually passed, but when you consider that You know the average person is eating bagels sandwiches pasta pizza hamburgers for three meals of the day These ratios actually correspond to the standard American diet in a very negative connotation And you know if the foods as I said weren't full of all of those agrochemicals Pesticides herbicides fungicides insecticides if our water if our air wasn't so polluted if they weren't using oxidized Vegetable seed oils and all the pastries and all the grains we might be okay But unfortunately the lack of food quality has caused issues So if we do increase the food quality and are sourcing local organic the best we can find the ratios do slightly change so This is mainly for already grown adults in a child You would probably reduce the amount of plant foods and increase the amount of animal foods Depending on their appetite the big brain pyramid Although I'm inclined to believe I'm not the most intelligent nutrition person out there I am definitely the only honest one so I'm the best you got on YouTube unfortunately and This is again what I've devised after You know being on diets basically my whole adult life so less than 5% of Cheat meals you know going out to restaurants eating non-organic food eating food that doesn't agree with your stomach You keep it less than 5% you should be good to go That's you know probably a cheat meal once a week every two weeks as long as you're not doing the whole cheat day 5% veggies 5% fruits you know that you tolerate well that You know our high quality that you're eating for flavor and taste not for actual caloric density And 5% of calories can actually be quite a bit for each of those so for veggies I might actually a bit less than that for fruits depending on how you tolerate them. It could be more 5 to 15% dairy and 10 to 20% animal protein and By that I mean 20% total between both of those so if you do tolerate dairy This could actually be 0% then you can incorporate it into your diet or if not stick to just animal protein Mainly you know grass-fed beef is ideal because getting pork and chicken is difficult to do and And that's where you're going to be getting a lot of your B vitamins obviously the protein and especially in children Those would be increased because you want your child to grow and be as developed as possible You know we could break this down more into what types of dairy products have certain vitamins But for the most part if everything's high quality and you stick to 20% of your calories coming from either dairy or meat That's going to be plenty adequate for the average person And then we have the majority of the energy in the diet So we have you know about 15% of our energy coming from Veggies fruits and cheat meals and then plus 65% is going to be 80% of total energy Which is what you want you want 80% of your calories coming from carbohydrates or fats or alcohol And then 20% from protein, which is what this pyramid equates to if you have a higher lean body mass might need more protein and Depending on your ancestry your current health status it's going to be a balance of plant carbohydrates and Animal fats and possibly not even animal fats possibly plant fats like the diet I'm following now for liver damage is Mostly plant-based carbohydrates organic grains with a small amount of coconut oil and coconut fats You know and an ideally healthy person You can look at like the indigenous Swiss people in a western prices book that we're having Rye bread with cheese for breakfast milk a lot of grain carbohydrates a lot of dairy fat and That is definitely one way to do it But you know due to modern health issues and most people not following an ideal diet most of their lives Nutrition isn't really balanced enough for people to consume You know super high animal fat meals with super high carbohydrate meals There has to be a decent amount of critiquing and balancing including a supplement regimen for at least a couple months to a couple years Before you can just comfortably eat high quality foods so I would say Granted the person has developed properly doesn't have any severe imbalances mainly a vitamin D deficiency Then you could probably jump right into a diet like this and not have to really worry about anything And if you did have access to a variety of these high quality foods, you know You're going to the farmers market every week. You're getting high quality grains. You're going by your appetite What you naturally want to eat will fall in line with this what your cravings are But if the foods aren't high quality The vitamin and mineral content of that food isn't going to be enough to kind of satisfy your craving It's why people tend to just crave the same foods over and over and over again And the craving doesn't go away now if you're craving chocolate It could take you months to years of eating chocolate to fix the magnesium deficiency So you have to understand why you're craving certain things you want to see Changes in your dietary patterns every few weeks every few months based on your body's nutritional stores Maybe after you eat a lot of white pasta your body starts craving steak because it needs B vitamins to process Those carbohydrates Maybe after you eat a lot of veggies a lot of fruits your body starts craving vitamin K2 because you don't have a lot of Fermented foods in your diet. So It's definitely important to pay attention to what you're craving and a lot of people won't feel the need for cheat meals But another thing I'm implying with cheat meals is you know higher caloric density foods You know if you do have a higher lean body mass if you have a hard time Gaining or maintaining your weight, then you might have to put things in your diet that aren't really considered natural that Most people don't think you should be eating like an organic candy bar or organic cookies The caloric density of sugar plus fat plus grains Isn't needed in most contexts. However, it can be a Good addition for some people now Surprisingly, there's not that much of a switch when you look at these side-by-side We're just swapping the vegetables and the fruits with the animal protein in the milk Just increasing the overall amount of animal nutrition and vitamins of the diet And we're making sure that in certain contexts that you do have animal fats as opposed to just eating large amounts of refined carbohydrates, but either way if the food quality in the diet is incredibly high You would really be good on either of these but the only thing that's overlooked is a children's diet Where they need more animal fats more animal protein in order to grow and develop in which this case much better option here and even as I said earlier Reduce the veggies reduce the fruits reduce the plant carbohydrates in a child's diet So that's gonna be for today guys a little bit shorter than my normal whiteboard videos Someone suggested this a while ago, and I didn't really feel like writing a script today So I just kind of did this off the top of my head So if you guys can please go to Frank dash to follow calm to support me through all of my businesses before I completely lose my mind You can also drop a like on the video.
