People always get caught up in the details... Just maintain a healthy weight avoiding excess calories, eat natural foods according to what your digestion allows, avoid processed junk, supplement with common sense and exercise regularly.

I have always wondered if the people/researchers who use The Mediterranean Diet as evidence of a healthy diet have ever lived on The Mediterranean???
I have lived in Spain for 5 years and I think one of the biggest points that is missed when considering the health in the Med area is stress levels...People here drink a lot, smoke a lot, eat a lot of bread, eat a lot of meat and seafood but they definitely seem less stressed and with the amount of sunshine they get I can't help but wonder if one of the major determinants for a healthy life is simply to have less stress and more sunshine...and of course I'm not saying that alcohol, cigarettes, bread and meat is the way to lead a healthy lifestyle, I just think stress and sunshine are overlooked...

Laughter, social life, community, are more important than diet. Stress, anxiety, isolation will kill you early.

One I think we can be pretty sure about--regardless of diet (low carb, keto, carnivore, vegan, etc.) eliminating sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods will lead to much better health!

Im so happy to watch a real doctor who is recommending stuff based on actual studies, keep it up!

Here is the Summary:
Three recent studies independently confirmed the best diet for human health. The studies analyzed different diets including the low carbohydrate diet, low-fat diet, ketogenic diet, Mediterranean diet, and others.

The first study, published in the Journal of Medicine, was a prospective cohort study comparing low carbohydrate diets to low-fat diets. It was a massive observational study involving over 371, 000 participants between the ages of 50 to 71 years old in the United States. The study found that those following a low carbohydrate diet had increased rates of death, heart disease, and cancer. The study suggested that a healthy low-fat diet with minimal saturated fat intake would be an effective dietary strategy for healthy aging.

The second study, published in the British Medical Journal, was a systematic review and meta-analysis. It found that the Mediterranean diet and low-fat diets were most effective in reducing all-cause death rates.

The third study was a narrative review discussing the Mediterranean diet and its benefits in limiting many culprits in the standard American diet that drive cardiovascular disease. It also discussed the keto and other very low carbohydrate diets, stating that while they have been promoted for effects on weight loss, improvement in insulin resistance, and blood sugar level control, they can also promote increases in LDL cholesterol.

All three studies suggest reducing low quality carbohydrates and saturated fats and replacing those with high-quality proteins.

I had interesting results from a high fat low carb diet. I did it last month and for the first time in my life I got my period with zero PMS symptoms. I’m 38 and my PMS has always been terrible. I was so shocked and confused about why the diet made such a big difference. (I always eat fairly healthy, non-GMO, mostly organic).

I think LCHF would perhaps perform better if the fat source was specified as focusing on nuts, seeds, olives, avocados etc. Also if the low carb diet ensures it was still rich in fibre from non- starch vegetables and Berries.

It is hard to compare low carb to high carb as there are so many variables.
If the vegetable content was the same across both diets AND the protein (including quantity and source), then the strength of the analysis would be greater.

My family is genetically predisposed to heart disease and cancer. Grandfather died of a coronary at 49, 53 yo cousin too. I've always been very thin and active, hiking, backpacking, running, weight-lifting, etc. I have naturally high cholesterol and was diagnosed with prediabetes 11 years ago. I tried a low-fat WFPB vegan diet and found eating this way keeps my glucose levels in the normal range with the added benefit of dropping my cholesterol 100 points. LFWFPB suits my body type well. I feel great!

I've tried that best diet and even eliminating the high fodmap foods it gave me crippling ibs-d. Cut veggies by 80% and added fatty meats dairy and that all went away. GI Dr just shrugged his shoulders and said whatever works for you. I stay away from high carb, sugars and all seed oil so no fried foods. So far all good 🤞

[markvoelker]

I am gratified to see that in these studies carbohydrates are classified into “low quality” and “high quality” categories, based on the level of processing.
I am disappointed that fats are not treated with the same level of discrimination. Instead, fats are divided into “saturated” and all other fats. Saturated fats are generally not highly processed, while unsaturated fats such as industrially processed seed oils are grouped together with fats such as olive oil, based on their origins from plants, and not whether they are substances that humans evolved to consume.
Moving to the Mediterranean and low fat diets also removes highly processed seed oils from ones diet, while grouping diets high in both saturated fats and highly processed seed oils together confounds the distinctions between these two types of fats on human health.
I suspect that removing both highly processed carbs and highly processed seed oils from the human diet is the real key to healthy eating.

No diets for me anymore. Just eating whole foods, best quality I can get. Never touched processed foods, eating fermented foods I prepare myself. Sugar could not exist for me. Not frying food just sauté them in high quality olive oil or other healthy fats. This works for me and I’m happy. Might not work for someone else with different needs 😉

A lot of it has to do with what these people were doing from age 1 to age 50. If they're following a low carb diet, then most likely they struggled with weight and a poor diet beforehand. There are just so many variables in a study like that. I feel so good on low carb vs low fat. If death is coming early, at least my quality of life has been greatly improved.

[jgarma]

That was great, Brad, and opportune for me as well, as it provided my just-published post w/ a great bottom line!

[georgetoolanbooks]

Thank you, Dr. Brad Stanfield. Diet is so important. I think this is another great evidence-based video.

We need to make sure that everyone understands that there is a huge difference evaluating a diet at surplus vs maintenance vs deficit. A lot of the comments around these topics seem to ignore this and only discuss the diet in the context of weight loss. Almost EVERY single diet at deficit, even the famous pizza or Twinkie diets improve blood sugar, lipid levels (though they have various effects on muscle/Brian atrophy etc.). If you eat a Twinkie or Pizza diet at surplus or maintenance however, vastly different results from a more sensible diet would be observed on both blood sugar and lipid levels.

If we're going to take prospective studies seriously then we should tell people to eat Ice Cream since over 30 years there has been a consistent finding that it's protective against T2D by a whopping 22% also for diabetics its protective against CVD. Maybe it's true that LFD is superior but if we're being honest with ourselves the quality of this research is very very very low, for starters one FFQ a year? Plus another hard reality is that there is a plant based carb bias amongst researchers and whos applying the adjustments is very important. You can get one set of data to give two separate conclusions, we all remember the metformin findings in diabetics showing a huge protective effect that didn't hold up under a different analysis.

Exactly the info I’ve been looking for. Loved this!

I have been on Keto/Carnivor for over 5 years. I lost 80 lbs and kept it off. I have had stomach issues all my life and lived off rolaids etc., but as soon as I got on Keto that went away. I think it is also largely from using ACV every day. As soon as I go off keto it isn't long before stomach issues return. Even when I cheat I stay away from Veg oils and sugars. I only use stevia as a sweetener. My mom is now 90 She also started keto 4 years ago and it has helped her tremendously with stomach issues and reduced arthritis pain by 90% My weakness for carbs are pretzels and breads. Though I refuse white breads etc I make my own whole wheat sourdough when I cheat. So I find it hard now to see that you are saying keto is bad. Have you also checked Dr Berry on YT He is a MD keto carnivore Dr that I also follow. Oh and I started keto when my dr told me I had fatty liver disease. My last blood work 4 months ago was all good.
