 Ladies and gentlemen, style of mind back with another topic of the day today We're going to cover the carnivore diet before we dig in be sure to follow me instagram twitter twitch We're streaming five times a week my podcast 50% facts is now live itunes spotify anywhere you want to go give this thing a thumbs up Subscribe let's dig into the carnivore diet Now looking on one end I think the carnivore diet got some popularity because a couple people obviously popular on the internet I believe was led mostly by Sean Baker being on Joe Rogan's podcast made it quite popular and diets in general are very extreme Our society is very extreme if you say black and white you're gonna be a lot more popular than if you say gray area and spectrum And the carnivore diet is probably the most refined simplest form of a diet All I eat is red meat compliance is another big piece And if you just eliminate every part of your diet out except for the carnivore It seems very simple as Sean Baker's dead lifted 500 pounds plus maybe 585 He's quite muscular. He's a little bit older and he's talked about his blood markers improving over time So these factors all combined I can see why some people may find the carnivore diet a little enticing to at least give it a go Right red meat a lot of protein good fats We found over time since the 90s that good fats There's a nothing wrong with eating dietary cholesterol that it has little to maybe no effect on our our actual cholesterol And it can help regulate hormones repair body tissue proteins very important eliminating carbs if you're not doing you know Perhaps you know endurance type sports if you're trying to just live a happy healthy life lift a little bit of weight Look a little bit better Be a little bit leaner It seems like the carnivore diet is the perfect answer for you based on some of these blood results that people got And I think they did it, you know maybe tested their results Six months into the diet and then also maybe a year into the diet And there was improvements in some of the markers now counter to that Many people obviously think micronutrients are going to be very important with vegetables and fruits the carnivore diet society We'll call them I don't know if that's something official or not But they say that you can get majority of those you need from the the red meat itself because those Animals themselves are eating the plants and I don't know if that science works out exactly if you Transfers through the absorption and the digestion. Look, I'm no scientist I'm just going off what I hear and what I read nutritionists are going to say probably add some variety Into your diet and that red meat still, you know, we not can't really tell the issue is that when you're studying diet over long term It's hard to keep different Humans compliant And you have to monitor every single thing they eat and every single thing they do to show or to eliminate all the variables To allow you to determine that this food or this type of diet over 10 years Causes this or helps with this if that makes sense That's why I do a lot of studies on rats because you get to feed them You get to control them and a lot of their physiological markers tend to You know do similar things to what a human can do But you can't put 10 people Into a cage for 10 years and feed them red meat only and see what their blood markers may do or may not do You know my personal opinion on the topic is just that Sure, your markers may improve over six months But we don't know how or what you're doing beforehand If you're eating twinkies all the time Oreo's sitting on the couch and maybe just lifting weights doing nothing And now all of a sudden you got leaner Because you're in a calorie deficit because you eliminated every food source around the world besides red meat Which you're more than likely going to get leaner. It's really hard to overeat on just ribeye Especially if you're a larger human being a more muscular muscular man. It's going to be very difficult So of course your markers are going to improve on the short term But improving your markers on the short term is not what we're going for we're looking for stability We're looking for homeostasis over the long term of healthy markers a healthy body fat Lean body mass a little bit of muscle And a diet that we can be stay compliant to again over the long term and now of course I'm not saying never eat pie never eat cookies Now if we're getting some protein some veggies some fruits every single day over the long term And we're sneaking some pie or some oreos plus a healthy workout regimen sleep hydration Now we're talking longevity of the situation And I believe is what's going to be best for our health markers over the long term eliminating anything seems ridiculous There was some viral youtuber I believe probably three four maybe even five years ago now I think that just ate twinkies for a year or a month and then there was one that was literally only eating bananas And on the internet because people think that's absolutely ridiculous And they spied them down thinking they're morons eating just one food group or one type of food for a long term But with the carnivore diet because it's meat and because it's a manly thing to do in 2018 For some reason people think this is a dope idea and the guy's muscular and he lifts a lot of weights The guy may be muscular and lift a lot of weights if he just ate one oreo a day for a month And he might be able to even show good health markers But a nutrition professor lost 30 pounds eating just that Kansas state university professor mark halb spent 10 weeks eating twinkies brownies zebra cakes and corn pops He consumed no more. Now. This is important. He consumed no more than 1800 calories a day. Now. I haven't seen the movie There's a really popular movie called Supersize me right where the guy gains weight. He gets unhealthy eating McDonald's every single day And he has a certain barrier of rules and I actually really enjoyed that movie Although the application of it may not be here or there. I also believe I've heard not seen That there's a movie where people, you know, take flexible diet into an extreme and a guy loses weight and improves his health markers Eating McDonald's every day, you know, he might get salads or eat smaller portions or diet soda over the sugary soda Whatever it might be and he improves his health markers now I'm not saying that's correct either what I'm saying is that probably an overall Moderation balanced diet over the long term is going to be best. We don't necessarily know if you're going by what America's society tells us You know over time their their markers of health and what food groups you should be eating change every 10 years And especially changes because one science and two because of political And who knows where people are throwing money and on a smaller scale. I truly believe that's what people are doing with any extreme Diet they're trying to portray on the internet. I'm not selling you broccoli A little bit of brown rice and chicken for dinner a couple times a week mixed in with some oreos Maybe a salad maybe even some red meat. I have nothing to sell you But if I have a book telling you you can only eat this or only eat that and you're going to get healthier stronger More testosterone lift more weight and be strong up until you're 75 Now I might have a secret agenda on the hand where I'm trying to monetize on the back end Don't get me wrong. I'm not against anybody making money Everyone's got to live everybody's got to eat everybody's got to get a roof over their head And if you have a unique idea, I feel that you should be creative enough to run with it But what I also think that has some type of internet source influencer anyone with the following I do influencer because that word Sucks dang I saw myself. I wasn't going to curse and we dropped an f bomb bleep that one out I used this because I hate the word influencer and I dropped an f-bomb and I hate myself for not cursing We're not cursing on this youtube channel anymore because youtube spited me down I think that everyone that who's an influencer internet has an internet following a following in real life Obviously any kind of audience that they have a responsibility to think of the masses and think of the general health Now I feel real confident telling you you should probably eat a balanced diet Now we shouldn't just eliminate one food group or one type of food and especially Funnel it all the way down to just eating one type of thing for longevity Now is there some validity to the carnivore diet there may or may not be Will we ever know probably not because we can't again study the human being's diet over long term and I'm talking about longevity We also need to talk about what we're talking about Are we talking about performance in the gym? How someone looks aesthetically health and what does health mean? Does that maybe mean eliminating diseases or chances of diseases or doesn't mean living the longest And which one do you really want to do because although some of these have some similarities they may be different You know, I think eating in moderation getting your vegetables in from Fresh vegetables even raw vegetables if possible. I eat plenty of raw greens getting a little bit of protein in Some carbohydrates depending on your lifestyle and your macronutrient count. What your goal is Will probably be the best long term anybody in a calorie deficit is going to obviously look a little bit better And their health markers will improve in the short term I could lose weight I could probably lose 10 pounds in a month if I just ate three Oreos a day And my health markers may actually improve because I'm dropping body fat Now in the long term, I think everyone would say that's absolutely ridiculous Mike you need to get some vegetables in if you're just eating Oreos every day Now you look sickly three months from now and I'm not saying that's anyone in particular the carnivore diet But I'm saying the potential is there Obviously a high protein high fat meal is going to be very satiated and you can mix that into your life But why not eat a little bit of red meat and have a little broccoli on the side Eat a little red meat have some kale and some rice on the side I don't think it's that big of a deal and it won't hurt any goals long term I think that the conversation needs to be why take something out Oh, almost got that drink Get a little passionate. Why take something out If it doesn't if it's not taken away from you, right? If I understand if someone's saying I'm going to eliminate caffeine for a while I think I'm addicted to it and it may be adding to my stress and my adrenaline Receptors blah blah blah. I understand why but why take broccoli out? What negative is broccoli doing? Why take kale out? Why take out a little bit of carbohydrates? If it's helping you fuel your day and you feel a little bit better at keeping you on track with your diet What's the point of eliminating something if it It may not even have a benefit. Let's say it doesn't have a benefit But if it's not have a negative why take it out? I understand the simplicity of the diet You got an empty fridge with just water and meat. I get it But I think that as humans I don't know if we need to rely on discipline But we should probably rely on building good habits thinking about our choices Thinking about our actions before we do them and be able to control what we put in our body in the long term Learning about food learning about nutrition learning about a well balanced meal lifestyle is probably going to be your best Long term now that does take a little bit more effort, especially mental effort And then just eliminating everything and I'm only going to eat this But I think it's going to be well worth the wait man I hope you guys like this comment below what topics you'd like me to cover what we want to talk about Let's keep this discussion positive I know everyone's passionate about their diets like they are their religion But let's just keep it simple comment below what you want me to cover comment below your thoughts on the carnivore diet Sound like i'm out of here new videos monday thursday.
