Except that the healthiest food for humans, fruit, is high in sugar (fructose) and high in fiber. The carbs are not the problem, the refined sugars like added sugars and fats (oils and saturated fat meats) are.
Dr. Lustig has helped me tremendously. I have all three of his books, and within that time I have transformed the way I think about food and the way I consume food. I’ve lost a grand total of 178 pounds over two years and I don’t even crave toxic crap processed food. I don’t even count calories. I eat real food things that can be grown things that occur in nature. I also make sure that everything I have has fiber. And that’s it. It’s very simple… And I don’t know why people are so blind an ignorant to the real problem.
'just because you are eating plant based food does not mean you are helping the planet'…….thats not true.
Omgoodness. Real food doesn't have a label. Fake food has warning labels. Incredible ty.
This guy is super confusing. He's saying to eat more fiber and then saying plant-based agriculture causes climate change. It's convenient that he doesn't mention the negative aspects of animal foods on health, namely saturated fat's link to diabetes and heart disease. I'm suspicious that he is clandestinely promoting animal agriculture.
Herbs break the processed food down and they dont sell them at stores so they should add them to the food
I LOVE THE REALLLLLLLNESS OF HIS DEMEANOR & HOME OFFICE BACKGROUND! REALLLLNESS! GONNA LISTEN WELL! AWESOME!
Good information, annoying delivery.
He won't share his diet? I believe most of what he says, but anyone that is selling a book like this and won't share his own diet tells me he is just looking for $$$.
💯 %
Shop in the produce section.. get your favorite vegetables.
Then get yourself some black rice (aka forbidden rice) – it’s hearty and chewy – so good! – And very healthy!
Use some fresh ginger, garlic, tamari (..more savory than soy sauce), hoisin sauce.
Make an amazing meal.
3:03 “Everyone wants to know what I eat. That’s off-limits!†Ummmmm okay. Secret diet dude alert.
He's saying exactly what I've been living all my life. I'm a chef and real food doesn't have a label .
Dude lost all credibility when he blew off the question about what he ate.
Who did the editing on this? They have images of candy while he talks about good whole foods!? Not helping anyone learn
Can he just say eat vegetables
ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¿. This guy is talking sense.
how tf is he going to say telling us what he eats is OFF LIMITS lol what a clown. I agree low carb no sugar
I went on the Paleo plan on July 19. In addition, I have kept my protein intake to about 46 grams daily, recommended for women. That's about 4 ounces of beef, chicken, or pork, but what I usually eat are 2 free-range eggs and make up the rest in high-protein vegetables. Otherwise it is fruit and vegetables. This coming Monday will make 5 weeks since I began. My digestive tract is working SO much better now–and I have had many problems due to Celiac Disease. My inflammation symptoms are gone. I have more energy. And I have dropped about 17 pounds. This doctor is right–eat lots of fruit and veg (3-4 fruits daily, 4-5 veg minimum), skip the processed crap, because it truly is poison. Cut your meat intake to what you actually NEED in a day (and buy grass-fed if at all possible), and your grocery bill will be just fine.
Eat plants.
wow, pay the farmer or pay the doctor
The woman didn’t even get the book title right , lol .
