I've been to multiple gastrointestinal docs in multiple states. IMO none of them know the answers. Each individual is different and if you eat something that bothers stop eating it. I have crohns. And my body thrives on keto/carnivore.

[hiphopaneer]

I am just so confused 😕 everybody is saying something different, its literally impossible to know what is healthy or not these days to the point where the mental overload of stress about "is this Healthy or not" counteracts any real potential benefit of that diet😟
I should probably just give up and eat whatever as long as its whole food,
Does anyone feel the same?

[helios]

He is right. The fact most people consume 60% of calories from ultra processed foods is mind blowing. Just changing that would go a long way

[brettmurray]

A bigger concern that most people aren't aware of is the vegetable seed production industry, which is constantly manipulating strains of vegetables in the chase of their own easy to grow and sell product with little regard for nutritional value. In the Mediterranean they grow organically and grow heirloom varieties which most of the world doesn't. Your best bet is to grow your own food rather than buy it, grow heirloom varieties and do it organically

Thomas, in an industry that's highly polarizing in terms of diet/lifestyle and what you should/shouldn't eat, I highly respect your ability to listen and learn. So many people get attached to one thing or another and allow their bias to dismiss the science. Always adapting, always changing. It's refreshing and gives credence to what you say.

[menash]

“Science strongly confirms” doesn’t hold much water these days.

[marcjames]

Well I didn't learn much from the Gastro, but Thomas' last statement about treating veg as a supplement ? Love it. I've come to the same conclusion myself. Last night I had a lovely fatty steak with a small portion of Brussels Sprouts and Mushrooms sauteed in butter. Basically the Veggies were a sauce that made the whole meal more satiating.

Lectins definitely do hurt lots of people. Clearing out high lectin foods finally helped get rid of my SIBO and other gut problems.

There are also two kinds of foods: GMO foods with glyphosate or actual real organic foods without poison. The first group really causes the gastrointestinal issues 💯 percent of the time.

I had chronic muscle cramps killing me when I tried to sleep, for over a decade. Only removing plants fixed this! Anti nutrients bind magnesium. I will subject myself to a study right now, feed me oats and my calfs will cramp.

[hotbuttered]

I’m animal based but I do like this guy, great to look at other perspectives and go against your bias.

[ricodelta]

Thing is, I know a lot of people who've had problems with their health and once they cut out vegetables (not all vege but a significant amount) they felt a 100x better.
Not trying to bash vege. I still eat it them myself. But for others, it may be beneficial to cut them out

[clemfandango]

although i love plant foods, I've felt better off of them. after i reach my health goals on carnivore i want to start adding some foods back to see how they make me feel

[hyperborean]

Contrary to what doctors and dieticians recommend, I'm 100% sure that me, my mother and my brothers feel a lot better if we do not eat fiber. I mean, we use the carnivore diet as medicine for when symptoms of IBS arise, and it works. Fiber makes me bloated, have irregular bowel movements, too much bowel movements, gas, sometimes low energy and mood. Going carnivore makes me feel excellent in every way. This is the opposite of all of what doctors and scientists say, yet we, and many other people, are proof that it works.

Things got very confusing for me when I started hearing veggies and legumes are bad. So glad to hear they’re invited back to the party 🎉

[OlyMar]

Not sure, I’m a fit guy, In shape. Eat clean whole foods. But when I eat spinach, broccoli, it just wrecks my gut. I get bloated etc. but when I cut it out, I felt great, no more bloating and flat stomach. I basically cut out night shades and feel great.

[antonioc.velezbraga]

It’s not about not dying, but about thriving. Nevertheless, is good to know that eating some antinutrients every once in a while and in SMALL doses might have beneficial effects. As the old saying goes, the difference between medicine and poison in in the dose.

[fraxelis]

Nice to know that one of my favorite weekly meal preps, making a big pot of beef or chicken chili with beans, is now something you guys are highly recommending to the world, awesome validation for what i've been doing! Thank you for the info Dr. Bulsiewicz and keep up the great work Thomas!

[Judgement]

awesome interview. Ever since i added more beans to my diet, I got stronger and feel better, but the key is to experiment what is the right amount for you.

[garycobe]

Got rid of almost all my arthritis and her Hives by giving up vegetables. Just tried it and that's what happened. Coincidence??? Not sure but not looking back!
