Einstein, if you're killing off anti-nutrients, guess what you're killing off as well simultaneously? Nutrients. All right, guys. Welcome back to the channel. If you're new man and Ms. Bobby, guys, you wanted me to react to Abby Sharp. With her video, Joe Rogan's show reveals Jordan Peterson's shocking carnivore diet. Your girl has some big thoughts. All right, I can't wait to hear those big thoughts. Let's have a look. Oh, that's a hard no for me, dog. Hey everyone, I'm Abby Sharp. Welcome to Abby's kitchen. She's so fake, man. Hide, lie, music, cooking, children, Abby. Okay, let's go. Today's video is sponsored by Seed and we'll be taking a look. All right, I'm going to skip right ahead. So, Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist who's really no stranger to ruffling a few feathers, for a lot of reasons. I'm not going to even touch politics today because I have enough to talk about with you. I don't think you would have anything valuable to say about politics. Endorsement of the carnivore diet on the Joe Rogan show. That was so extremely misplaced. No, a lot of spice in one sentence right there. No, but seriously, if you're wondering what the f*** you eat on a carnivore diet, well, according to Jordan Peterson, I eat beef and salt and water. Buckle up, babies. Let's dive in and debunk some of the pro-carnivore claims he makes on the show. Oh, she's so insufferable. I really don't understand how you can listen to her, man. Flame number one. I'm suffering here for you guys. Then I lost seven pounds the first month. Then I lost seven pounds the next month. Then I lost seven pounds the next month. I lost seven pounds every month for seven months. Like I throw away all my clothes. All right, let me stop it right there. She said that his first claim is that the carnivore diet helps with weight loss. He didn't make that claim. He simply said that he lost weight. Just 50 pounds. I'm nowhere near as hungry as I used to be. My appetite is probably formed by 70%. So this weight loss definitely does sound extreme, but not that surprising when you really think about it. So for one, this diet is just fat. Okay, so it's not surprising that he lost weight, but why do you frame it as if he was making a truth claim that you then had to debunk? What is this? End protein, which are two macronutrients that are very satiating because they delay stomach emptying and digest lower than let's say simple carbs. Moreover, you have specific amino acids within meat that our guts developed receptors for. Don't tell this to the vegans though. So a diet of literally just one food or food group with no sauce or garnishes, side dishes, et cetera, is going to get so boring and monotonous that it's pretty hard to overeat. It is pretty monotonous. I would agree with her. A lot of folks would just end up eating the bare minimum to keep the hunger pains at bay because eating like a second porter house is probably going to seem like a huge chore when you've already had a tree bone for lunch. And while I would argue that all fat weight loss diets are unsustainable, the carnivore diet really takes the cake. But again, why do you frame it as a fat weight loss diet? That is not the reason why Jordan Peterson or his daughter, Michaela Peterson, went carnivore to begin with. Jordan Peterson talked extensively about his depression, Michaela talked about her health issues and the only diet that would resolve those issues was the carnivore diet. Nobody of the Peterson's did it for weight loss, nor do they advertise this diet for weight loss. You're spreading misinformation for clicks. And it's expensive as f**k. To meet 2000 pounds of steak, you're looking at at least $25 or more per day. That depends. If you're eating steaks, yes, that could be expensive, but you could simply eat minced meat. You have very little opportunity for any socializing around food. Unless you're dining in a steakhouse where they're cool with you swapping out your potato for a side of salt, that is not true either. Yes, it might be slightly more complicated. But why would we use restaurant as a measuring standard for a good diet? A bodybuilder, for example, during contest preparation, who's eating only rice and chicken and is weighting every single gram of the chicken breast, is obviously not the best customer that restaurants look for. Nevertheless, the diet works. It seems you're pretty much doomed to just dine alone at home for life. There's been... Yeah, there are no steak houses. You can't have scrambled eggs. You can't have burger patties. Not a steak. No. You've accidentally given me the food that my food eats. And three, there are a whole host of not so sexy side effects that I'm going to speak to in a moment. Not to mention, when you inevitably throw in the towel on this miserable exercise, you'd not only gain all the weight right back, but you'd also probably be faced with overwhelming digestive problems as your body is forced to really quickly upregulate all of the enzymes that were suppressed from your monomial lifestyle. But have you ever tried this? And is weight loss really so important? On that note, I'm not making the claim that everybody has to eat the carnivore diet until the rest of their lives. However, coming from a vegan background, I was vegan for four years straight. The carnivore diet was the only diet that would heal me. My body was reacting viciously to all kinds of plant matter. For half a year, I had to eat only meat in order to heal my gut. Nowadays, I can eat a variety of foods again. The carnivore diet is the perfect healing diet and moreover, it will regulate your hunger. Once you give your body nutritionally dense animal foods, your body will react totally different to the food groups afterwards, which means you won't be munching on senseless carbohydrates. No, Abby, it's not healthy just because society does it. Health and risk of life is at stake. No pun intended. We know that a diet that's very high in red meat is associated with increased risks of colorectal, breast and prostate cancer. Yeah, for sure. Look into those studies. You will see that they've never been done on carnivore diets. They've only been done on so-called omnivores, people that consume an 80% plant-based diet in most instances and then eat some processed meat. Yes, red meat is the enemy. That ultra-high protein diets, especially those high in red meat, constrain our kidneys and increase calcium loss. While the evidence on the impact of saturated fats is controversial, as I discussed in my video right here, we do know that high in takes of saturated fat from red meat specifically does appear to increase the risk of heart disease by increasing trimethylamine and oxide. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Can only displace really important nutrients. Why do you have to swear all the time? It's so extremely unattractive. Like fiber and C and other antioxidants that are largely found in plant-based foods. And we know that a diet- She's just reading. ...fiber can have negative implications for our micro- You don't believe anything you say. You can't even say it from the top of your head. You constantly have to read articles. You don't even understand those articles. Bio, while low in takes of antioxidants like vitamin C carries increased risks to health. Have you actually ever looked into the research that vitamin C and glucose are competing? When you're eating a zero-carb diet, you need much less vitamin C. Jordan Peterson, the lack of vitamin C from the carnivore diet is a non-issue, which brings me to claim number two. You don't need vitamin C. I would assume that you need phytonutrients. I would assume that you need vitamin- There is no such thing as a phytonutrient. Vitamin C, for example. Turns out, if you don't need carbohydrates, you don't need vitamin C. Huh, who would have guessed that? How's that work? It's not true that you don't need vitamin C, but you need much less. C is necessary for carbohydrate metabolism. Uhhh, not quite. Minerals, vitamin C serves more than just one function in the body. So, for example, it's involved in- Does anybody really think her format is entertaining? Transmitter production, immune function, wound healing. How should anybody take you serious if 90% of your video is reading something off the screen? And it's also anti-inflammatory due to its anti-oxidant properties. I definitely wouldn't adopt the importance of vitamin C as strictly just a metabolizer. Plus, vitamin C is actually called protein metabolism by playing an important role in the synthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, catecholamines, and- But why would you need collagen synthesis if you are eating collagen? Other protein. Can you explain this? This is why vitamin C is essential for wound repair and healthy brain function, along with a ton of other things. She really thinks she's edgy when she swears. With that said, what happens- That's so repulsive. Western women. When you're not getting any vitamin C from the carnivore diet? Well, of course, this would have immunological, cognitive, and dermatological consequences. Yeah, immunological, dermatological. How if actually all the immune diseases that Mikaela Peterson had are resolved? So what are we talking about? In some of the real cases, you could develop scurvy, which results in symptoms of fatigue. Okay, but he didn't develop scurvy after years. How do you explain that? Inflammation, depression- She's just a hysterical chicken. On some cases, even death. Maybe it's not- Even death, yeah. But he's still here. Unfortunately. But if you eat three pounds of steak every day, you're gonna die. However, proponents of the carnivore diet argue that you can apparently obtain enough vitamin C from a meat-only diet to prevent scurvy. And while they're technically not- Especially if you would be eating raw meat. Wrong here. But most carnivores don't do it. Since research on Inuit communities suggest that one can obtain vitamin C from animal organs and raw meat, you would have to eat a lot of meat. If she swears one more time, I'm gonna cut off the video. So for example, you can eat 770 grams of raw beef liver to get a pathetic 10 milligrams of vitamin C, Yes, but yet again, carbohydrates, glucose and vitamin C are competing for the same pathway. And therefore you really need less vitamin C. It's true. Otherwise, Jordan Peterson would be dead already. Or you can take a single bite out of an orange. Your choice. So while carnivore diet- And by the way, as I said already, I'm not promoting the carnivore diet for every single human being out there. However, if you have autoimmune issues, like the Peterson's and the diet helps you go right ahead. Have half their diet preventing scurvy by eating more organ meats. It's very unlikely. She's so hateful. She isn't even happy that those people resolve their health issues. Hitting the 90 milligrams daily. She's just gonna talk about the diet and the claims in like half a bell pepper without inadvertently throwing everything else out of whack. Yeah, but what if you can't eat the bell pepper? Lastly, also the carnivore diet are quick to rag on vegetables for their anti-nutrient properties. Jordan Peterson never explicitly spoke about this on the podcast app, but I'm still gonna blame him. But I do really want to quickly debug this since we're all here. And it does come up quite often. Now it is true that some vegetables, legumes, and whole grains do contain anti-nutrients that reduce the absorption of some vitamins and minerals. But in general, anti-nutrients are not a major threat to our health. And the foods that contain them also contain beneficial nutrients like fiber, vitamins. Fiber is not a nutrient, Abby. Continue. And antioxidants. Plus a lot of the anti-nutrient content continues. Yeah, so you didn't list one nutrient there. You simply said that some of them have anti-nutrients, but they do have nutrients as well that I'm not gonna list. Fantastic. In certain foods, it's also greatly reduced just by cooking them. Ah, yes, civilization. Yes, exactly. Wow, debunked. Einstein, if you're killing off anti-nutrients, guess what you're killing off as well simultaneously? Nutrients. If you look into B vitamins or water soluble vitamins to begin with, they're very, very heat sensitive. You're killing them off when you're cooking them. So moving on to claim number three. Wow. Carnivoresum can cure anxiety and depression. Quit eating greens. And I thought, oh, really? Again, she says it's a claim as if it was a general claim. This is what the diet did for him. Mr. McKay like cucumbers, lettuce, broccoli, and chicken and beef. It's like, I have to cut out the goddamn greens? It's like, try it for a month. Okay, within a week, I was 25% less anxious in the morning. Within two weeks, 75%. And I've been better every single day. He's simply sharing his experience. I'm better now probably than I've ever been in my life. And I haven't been taking antidepressants for a whole year. Listen, what works for one person's mental health is not going to work for another. Never, never, Abby. It only works for one person, is that true? So that must mean if we look into conventional medicine and antidepressants, those antidepressants must work only for one person. Never belittle someone's lived experience. But I'm going to do it anyways. What does the data say? Well, there was really only one retrospective study on the carnivore diet which used self-reported data, aka pretty much the biased bottom of the barrel when it comes to study design quality. Not going to belittle. But anyways, so any effect that the carnivore diet may have on mood disorders like anxiety and depression is largely anecdotal and not evidence. So disingenuous. However, we do have some research on the effects of the keto diet for depression. And given that the carnivore diet is essentially like a higher protein version of the keto diet and that it eliminates carbs and puts the body into a state of ketosis, it does give us a better idea of what might be going on neurologically. So research suggests that the keto diet may help to improve symptoms of anxiety and depression by increasing circulating levels of the neurotransmitter. Blah, blah, blah. So the keto diet because we have some vegetables within their diet is more socially acceptable and therefore I'm going to appreciate those studies listed here and I'm going to confirm those studies as well with my own bias. Go ahead. Which plays a key role in managing stress. Anxiety and mood. However, more research is needed to fully understand this mechanism before we can like recommend the keto diet as illegitimate treatment for mood disorders. And even if we did have more research to recommend this as like a possible adjunct therapy, it would never be recommended that you only eat meat. There's nothing right. All right. So even if we would have more research, let's say 100% proof that the carnivore diet regulates mood disorders. Even then, you shouldn't eat just meat. Duh. Calculus about a rib eye steak that will cure your depression. You would still be able to eat a variety of other keto-friendly things. All right. But if you're super sensitive to the anti-nutrients in plants, phytates, goitrogens, gluten, etc., etc., then yes, a steak is quite miraculous because it comes with all the nutrition you need. Zero fiber and zero anti-nutrients. You have to eat everything. Meat like vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, and dairy. And you'd probably be happier if you weren't constipated or losing your teeth due to scurvy or malnutrition. All right. Did Jordan Peterson lose his teeth? In fact, recent suggests that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of depression. Yes. So yeah, the logic here just doesn't check out. But back. Yeah, the logic here just isn't for a hot moment because I do find that his testimony is very powerful. So what could possibly explain his unique ability to get off his mats? Well, honestly, there's a lot to be unsure about in the world of mental health research. But one thing is pretty clear that the placebo effect is real. We have lots of... Yeah, must be the placebo effect. I must have lived through the placebo effect as well. When I was a vegan, I was eating pretty much everything that you're recommending here. I was going to the toilet 16 times per day. When I started eating fish again, that reduced to three to four times per day. When I went carnival, I just went to the toilet once per day. Placebo. The power of placebo for anxiety and depression because of positive placebo. The experience can increase mood neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. And despite a lot of heated controversy and debate, we even have studies to suggest that placebo medication may actually produce the same effect as actual antidepressant pharmaceuticals. Now, another potential explanation here is that Peterson's autoimmune disease made him uniquely and legitimately sensitive to a number of different foods, which he effectively removed due to the nature of his very restrictive diet. Carnivoreism cures autoimmune diseases. And my psoriasis disappeared. I've had gum disease since I was 25. That's been serious. Again, the guy isn't making any truth claims. He simply shares his experience. You're straw manning him. It's enough to have... I've had to have minor surgical intervention, scraping and that sort of thing to keep it at bay. It's gone. I checked with my dentist before this last two... Placebo. Drown inflammation. Placebo. As I discussed in my video on downshiftology, which you can watch right here, autoimmune diseases are complicated as... Okay. And this is it. All right, guys. As I said, if she swears one more time, I'm going to cut off the video. It's long enough as it is anyways. This must have been the most annoying YouTube video I have ever watched. Hands down.
