 Yo, what's up realized men? This is Philip. Hope you guys are having a great day Probably not the face you're expecting, but I'm just filling in for Isaac for a day today And I'm doing a bit of a video on his channel. So let's get started. Hope you enjoy sit back relax And today we're talking about diets and what the best nutritional lifestyle is. So let's go What's the best diet? This is probably one of the most difficult questions to answer Because it's so complex and there are so many factors that entail Deciding and stating what the best diet is, right? Obesity is a huge problem in our world, right? And hence there's a billion if not trillion-dollar industry in our world Revolving around solving this problem marketing different diets to people, you know paleo Ketogenic vegetarian vegan. So it's so hard to decide which one to choose which one should you choose out of so many And what's the best one to do? The factors involved aren't only biological It's true that there are gonna be certain diets like low-carb diets For example paleo or ketogenic that are really gonna help people lose body fat when they're in a low percentage or to get through Plateaus and and sometimes people are more sensitive to carbohydrates So it can suit them better, but at the end of the day there are so many factors involved such as ethical factors So you can't suggest a ketogenic diet to someone who's a vegetarian, right? Because they don't want to kill animals So there is no best diet what you have to understand is that if you're getting your food from nature and The majority of your food 80 to 90% is just coming from whole foods Let's take someone who is an omnivore, right? They're not vegetarian. They eat everything So if they're getting their food from fruits vegetables nuts lean cuts of meat It's pretty difficult to become obese on that type of diet Why because when you're including so many vegetables and fruit there's such a high fiber content There's so much water that it naturally fills you up with minimal calories So it's extremely hard to overeat when you're eating from nature. So Some say counter calories and I agree It's good to count your calories if you're new to dieting and you want to improve your body You want to get to a really lean body fat? But if you're just an average person and you want to live a healthy life The most important thing is just you know eat healthy food eat food That's from nature see how it affects your body see what types of foods affect yourself In what way whether you're sensitive to carbs and then adjusts from there But your baseline should be fundamental natural foods. So that's it because I'm really sick of People just marketing different types of diets now I'm not saying that isn't merits to to diets like keto or paleo or vegetarianism But the thing is as long as you're getting your food from nature and the majority of your food is coming from whole based sources You're going to be fine. That's all that matters. It's almost ironic that We're getting obese and unhealthy now as a society because you know We understand how health works now and with that came an unhealthy society So it's almost like ignorance is bliss right in the past. There were no they weren't that many sweets Right, you couldn't go down to the store and get a donut usually you either kill an animal or eat an apple of a tree Right, so it's much more simple We don't really know the mechanisms behind health and how to manipulate food to make it taste better and sell more Products and it all comes down to money, right? So you have to understand that if you want to be healthy Yes, you can do if it fits your macros You can count your calories and eat some crappy food from time to time and that can be great for being flexible with your diet But as long as you're getting the majority of your food from natural sources It's not really that important which diet you're following at least not you know and the beginner or intermediate Stages once you're starting to plateau or you're really trying to take your health and your fitness to Extremes and you're trying to really experiment with your body That's when you can adopt things like ketogenic diets or paleo vegetarian Measures with your ethics and morals or whatever other variables. Just make sure to eat from nature Don't eat too many processed foods work hard give it time give it consistency and that's all you need That's it. It's simple, but our world seems to complicate an issue. That's much more simple much more complex Sorry, then it needs to be you know think about it this way like instead of worrying about whether I should change my Protein to carbohydrate ratio, you know swapping it from 10 percent to 20 percent or something like that Focus on not eating that chocolate bar next time you see it and including that in your carbohydrates That's gonna make a world of a difference compared to altering and manipulating your macronutrients ratio, right if you haven't mastered the the art of self-control and And you you don't have the ability yet to to eat mostly from natural food Then you know Diet plans and different types of diet strategies aren't in your arsenal yet, right the fundamentals should always be mastered first and Then it's kind of like exercise and supplements, right? so think of exercise as a healthy Natural-based diet and supplements are the different types of diets, right? It's a supplement, right? That's how I see it at least and that's what I found has worked best for the clients. I train as a personal trainer Let me know what you think maybe you completely disagree, but um, yeah, let me know why subscribe to my channel I'm sure Isaac will put a link in the description and that's about it for me. Yeah
