Full Gary Taubes interview from Carb-Loaded documentary (60 Min)

Have you ever wanted to sit down and pick Gary Taubes brain for an hour? Several years ago we did just that. The result is a fascinating discussion about the root causes of diabetes and obesity.

You can also watch the full film on iTunes, Amazon...etc.

Gary was 61 at the time of this interview. He looks like he’s in his early 50’s. If I can look 50 at 60 by cutting out carbs/sugar, I’m in!

Thank God for Gary Taubes and his investigative work! I'm 58. I gave up all sugars and refined carbs and started eating more natural fats last November and started intermittent fasting (following Dr Jason Fung) and I've lost over 90 lbs so far! I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better I'm able to be active again and my asthma is pretty much non-existent! These changes have changed my life! I'm so thankful for these guys!!

1920's weight loss tips were mainly about reducing sugars and grains.  Our government and big business did us in back in the 70's.

He is the best example of this diet, look at him at 60 he seems to be in an Olympic shape.
I stopped sugar since 16 months now it was easy for me because I wasn't a soda drinker or cake eater but sugar it everywhere, now I eat keto diet I feel much better than before. But we live in world of carbs and people don't understand when you say I don't eat carbs anymore I eat more good fat, they said with their soda on left hand the burger on the right it's dangerous and carbs is energy, so you explain once or twice to people but if they don't want to understand what can we do ? Less carbs it's good for health but bad for food industry ! Make your own research about nutrition and start a new life without sugar and less carbs ! Stay fit 💪😎

Not just good science, but common sense and wisdom combined into one fascinating interview!

I love Gary Taube's point that all the things we do to work up an appetite so that we want to eat more, are the same things we do when we are supposed to diet.

A lot of these doctors, scientists and documentarians have great logical points, and good narratives, so I have listened to them all and I really do not know what to believe.

There are so many variables in terms of food and behavior and environment, not to mention everyone's different genetics ... how are we supposed to know what the truth is, but one thing we can see is that as the American diet and food system takes hold globally the same sickness and problems spread right along with it.

I think the too much sugar, carbs and processed foods are a compelling first order factor for all of this. I think I've seen it in my own life as I used to shun bread, french fries, chips, etc and as I have eaten more of that stuff with others I have seen most of the fallout that are mentioned in this documentary.

It is not easy to evade these processed foods. The more national a grocery chain is the more it is filled with aisles and aisles of stuff that is not really even food ... it is like a drug, and I think like the cigarette industry our food industry ought to be responsible for cleaning up its mess and paying for health care.

It's good to see Owen Wilson promoting a low-carb lifestyle.

[iaindennis]

Fascinating interview - very illuminating and interesting - watched it twice just to make sure I really understood and didn't miss anything. More please.

[pepper]

This should have been seen by a lot more people. Terrific interview.

[MsNEPTUNE]

Great interview Gary always interesting and very helpful in arguing the case against all types of sugar, whatever guise or form it may be hidden in.

[shizuokaBLUES]

Including this interview was a very good idea. Thanks much !

[raimondsmackaitis]

I like the example of applying weight to ones sholder.

[bsktballman]

I’ve eliminated carbs from my diet for 6 months and I’m down about 35 pounds without trying.

[bobdylan]

This dude is 61, yeah im following his advice

[peterbradley]

sounds good (in theory). i've took it on board, im changing my diet today!

[gabrielekennedy]

I am so grateful to have salt, EVOO and avocados back in life. Thank you Gary

[swaky]

So is American Pickers just his side hustle?

It’s amazing how even Doctors and Scientists can’t see the wood for the trees

People keep going on about the Japanese diet, but overlook the fact that seafood formed a major part of the Japanese diet, including many high-fat fish and shellfish. Sure, they eat rice, but usually with sauces that are also high in fat. Anyone ever seen a slice of their beef? It's mostly fat. Pork and poultry, like the ducks that have been part of their rice production maybe since it first began, also are high in fat.
China's current diabetes rates are soaring. Great for the medical industry; not great for everyone else.

Thanks Gary ... I am with you ... have researched all and agree ... but come at it from the Ivor Cummings point of view ... "Solve the problem Before the Bridge falls Down". It took 10 years to get H. pylori into main stream medicine 10 years ... which is considered fast by the AMA ... but in engineering ... the problems have to be solved THE SAME DAY ... how odd ...
Can we really wait ... we users have to take charge ... and ignore the pushback from doctors ...
I was lucky as Mom was old school ... there were no Fat People when I was a kid ... now it is 50% ... something is wrong ... Who Knew ...
