I finally figured out the perfect meal strategy!

August 28th 2020 I saw a YouTube video where a renowned cardiac surgeon said the glazed donut has about half of the sugar content of an apple the cup of grapes actually has two times the sugar content of this Hershey's candy bar grapes are a sugar bomb give fruit the boot at that point I stopped eating fruit and continued eating candy I mean I knew back then that that was a silly thing to do but I wanted to just try and have less sugar in my diet and I knew realistically it would be hard for me to give up the candy and easier for me to give up fruit so I stopped having fruit and then once I got used to not having fruit in my diet I then challenged myself to stop having sugar altogether I just wanted to see if it was possible for me to make it 30 days without any candies Cookies Cakes ice cream donuts and to my surprise I actually survived and I never went back to eating processed sugar now I actually continued to not have fruit for an entire year because I thought well if fruit has sugar in it and sugar is bad then surely fruit is trying to kill me right well it wasn't until August 2021 where I got engaged and we celebrated by having plums I know turn up it's a party I mean if you ain't eating plums after getting engaged did you even really celebrate anyway today's video is all about food tidbits I've heard on the internet and everything you hear on the internet is true right and why I no longer believe certain food opinions and just overall this video is going to cover how to know what to eat since nowadays the internet does a good job of confusing us of what is considered healthy okay let's talk about processed foods since that's the easiest one to cover the majority of people will agree chips sodas candies cookies french fries crackers cakes any processed food really isn't that healthy why because they're highly palatable so they're very tasty and easy to overeat though they also have toxic ingredients food colorings inflammatory overheated bad fats refined sugars lots of chemicals and a bunch of nauy naties up in them and not a lot of goodies there's not tons of protein vitamins minerals nutrients in these highly processed foods so they don't really add to Health in fact they take away from health I mean if we just look back 100 years ago we had a lot less of these processed foods and we had a lot less heart attacks Strokes obesity and diabetes pretty much any vegan carnivore Mediterranean Dieter keto paleo any kind of diet Guru you follow or any doctor any nutritionist they'll say processed foods really isn't in our best interest I don't have to have a PhD or be a scientist in a Laboratory Testing on Lab Rats these processed foods I can pretty much just think hey you know what this doughnut doesn't have vitamin D protein calcium copper magnesium iron vitamin A in fact where did these rainbowy Fruity Pebbles come from did they grow out of a garden did they come from an animal uh-uh these rainbow Fruity Pebbles were made from chemicals in a laboratory these did not grow out of a garden now is having some junk food once in a while the end of the world no but you know the more you can limit it the better all right so if we aren't eating processed junk Foods then we're left to eat the outside aisles of the grocery store meat fish eggs dairy fruits nuts and veggies and now this is where I turn into the bad guy unfortunately nowadays it seems most food has either been dyed sprayed poked manipulated in some shape or form I want to say it's mostly out of Good Intentions as for the most part they are just trying to find ways to increase the shelf life of real food so that way it can be shipped across the country but here's the dealio farm raised salmon is manipulated to be more red as most customers think that if their food is a certain color then it's healthier red meat in the grocery stores is gassed to preserve its color to make customers think that the meat is fresh when in fact it's a little bit old and of course cows pigs chickens and fish are fed corn soy and Grains to make the animals grow quicker and fatten them up which these three crops are sprayed with a lot of pesticides and other chemicals and then because these animals are eating a diet that is not evolutionary appropriate for their stomachs they are fed antibiotics and medications the cows don't want to be eating these Foods so they are given Tums to make their tummies not hurt as much so they keep keep eating likewise fruits and veggies are grown for sugar content and size because who wants to buy a tiny Apple when you can get one the size of a softball most produce is grown in different countries and because they have to ship them across the world the produce is picked off the tree before it's ripe some produce is even coated with apal which is a tasteless colorless odorless coating made from mono and diglycerides AKA hydrogenated soybean and canola oil put on the outsides of produce to increase sh life and make the produce appear fresh when in fact it's most often several months old on top of that nowadays due to monocropping and poor farming practices the health of our soil isn't what it used to be the soil has less minerals in it therefore the prod growing from it also has less minerals in it there's stats out there that 100 years ago if our grandparents would have eaten one orange we would have to eat seven oranges today to get the same amount of vitamin C fiber all the different nutrients in an orange today I'd have to eat seven in comparison to 100 years ago to the one orange giving me that same equivalent of nutrition ice cream used to be raw milk honey organic vanilla and egg yolks nowadays most ice creams include things like pasteurized milk seed oils refined sugars emulsifiers food dyes and other artificial ingredients traditional bread used to be organic flour salt water olive oil sourdough starter and fermented for several days nowadays many breads are made with GMO flour that's refined bleached with chlorine containing seed oils and not fermented I could go on and on but I think you get the point most food has been some sort of up in her so what are we going to do about it well buy from local farmers or farmer markets if you can otherwise just find some piece of mind that we are going to do the best that we can do so this is why online you're going to see everyone talk and smack about different foods because it's easy to fear-monger and explain all the horrible things going on in supermarket food the vegans will say red meat causes cancer saturated fat will clog your arteries without any evidence or proof to back this up there's nothing that proves this and then the carnivores will say that plants are trying to kill you and poison you and meanwhile you're sitting thinking wait hold up how come I know several people in my family or just thousands of people around the world who lived to be in their '90s or hundreds very healthy and they had plants in their diet every day yes plants have anti-nutrients in them we're talking fruits vegetables nuts legumes coffee tea anything that comes from a plant does have what's called anti-nutrients in them also known as plant toxins like lectins oxalates Fates there are these different plant compounds that can cause humans gut distress skin inflammation and mental health issues ETC however a few years ago I talked to Dr sha Baker who is known for being the Godfather of the carnivore diet he made carnivore very popular by going on Joe Rogan's podcast a few years ago anyway I asked Dr sha Baker why do you think nowadays it seems that more and more people can't tolerate the small amounts of toxins in plants like for example Jordan Peterson's daughter Michaela Peterson she's been eating a carnivore diet for several years and she says that if she has a little bit of black pepper on her steak she's going to have more arthritis she'll be back on medications her mental health is ises get worse and so Dr Baker why is it that nowadays it seems people have major reactions to the small amounts of toxins in plants and he said Lily humans should be able to tolerate plant Foods however nowadays we're exposed to more 5G radiation emfs vacines medications glyphosate pesticides chemicals canola oil refined sugars processed junk Foods alcohol cigarettes the list goes on of things that we are exposed to where nowadays even a baby born into this world they likely have more of a suppressed immune system and compromised gut in comparison to people in the past if someone can't tolerate a little bit of black pepper that's not a signal to me that that person has a really strong robust immune system that person to me isn't the gold standard for health people will say well if that diet was so healing and really saved some people's lives therefore this diet must be the healthiest diet for all people and I should do that by all means I think a carnivore diet can be a really healthy way to eat and and if it's working for you fantastic I myself eat a very meat heavy animal-based diet but I'll never forget the first time I spoke with Dr Ted non and he said just because it's possible for people to eat only meat and be healthy doesn't mean it's optimal even Michaela Peterson has said in several videos she wishes she could have more Foods if she could she would have more variety but she can't and yes Michaela Peterson she looks fantastic and she's super healthy and she eats a carnivore diet but then there's also thousands and millions of people who don't eat a carnivore diet who look good and also are very healthy I think likely what all these healthy individuals have in common is they're avoiding processed junk food and seeking out nutrition as much as possible also we order a lot of our food from our local farmer though if you don't have access to quality food and good grocery stores near you there's so many options for quality food online we specifically order things like grass-fed beef sticks wild caught sardines mustard ghee which is clarified butter but in my opinion ghee is way yummier than butter so we order certain foods that we can't get from our local farmer online through what's called Thrive Marketplace which is an online membership based grocery store that has different organic Meats Seafood Personal Care items non-toxic Beauty Supplies we even order things like our denif floss soaps laundry detergent dishwasher detergent all sorts of really clean ingredient household supplies we can order through Thrive Marketplace which is kind of like in Amazon where it's an online store where you can buy Goods though Thrive yearly membership fee is less money than Amazon's where Thrive yearly membership fee is only $60 and I saved $72 on my first order and I've saved money every time I've ordered with them plus if you don't save your $60 by the end of the year Thrive will credit you back the difference so to me there's no downside to using Thrive it's just another option to buy groceries at affordable prices you can get an additional 30% off your first order plus a free gift up to $60 by using the link in the description or you can get those same savings by going to thrivemarket.com lillye all right let's go back to talking about anti-nutrients also known as plant toxins one specific toxin in plants is called oxalates which is most prominent in almonds blackberries spinach sweet potatoes cacao rhubarb and I'll just throw up a list with the foods highest in oxalates and to many oxalates is most known for contributing to kidney stones and arthritis you that's not an exhausted list there's many Health implications of having too many oets all the time but then I spoke with Sally Norton and Elliot Overton who these two they are like the oxalate experts their research and whole life's work is in studying and talking about oets and yet both of them have foods with oets in them Elliot's like I have potatoes every day and when eaten in low Amounts is not necessarily going to cause people a problem so what I would say is is that if you know someone's only got one kind of source of oxalate in the diet chances are it's going to be difficult to eat enough of that one food to get massive amounts of oxalate in the diet if on the other hand someone who has a breakfast they have almond flour toast almond butter on that they'd have a whole bowl of berries with that one of the kind of fads is to make smoothies that someone puts in raw cacao powder spinach some other greens into the smoothie and then for lunch then they have sweet potato so you see how it's like a cumulative effect it's like a conglomeration of all of those things adding up to a massive amount whereas if it's just coming from like one or two things chances are that's not going to be causing massive amounts of these issues it's probably not even going to be that much of a problem for most people having a little bit should be a non-issue having a little bit of nuts shouldn't be catastrophic having a little bit of fruit or a little bit of vegetables can be okay but if someone's eating the only nuts diet and have nuts for breakfast lunch and dinner every single day yeah they're likely going to have some sort of bloating gas maybe blood in stool probably some constipation you're probably not going to feel your best eating the only nuts diet if I was someone eating an only fruit diet and I was just having fruit for breakfast lunch and dinner then sure that could be a lot of sugar but I'm not concerned that having one or two pieces of fruit is a lot of sugar for me again the difference between an apple or fruit and a doughnut is that the apple is going to have polyphenols antioxidants fiber vitamin C magnesium potassium copper vitamin B6 whereas a donut a donut doesn't have Jack crack lack I watched a Dr gundry Dr Mike podcast and one thing Dr Mike kept saying was Dr gundry you keep telling people to avoid eating apples meanwhile the vast majority of people the majority of people in the population are eating cookies and cakes how many patients do you have coming into your office who are eating zero processed junk food and yet they're riddled with diabetes and obesity because they're eating too many apples I think social media is fantastic because we can share our experiences and learn from other people's mistakes though at the same time then we over complicate food I say when trying to figure out what to eat start with real h foods and specifically prioritize protein protein is so critical for our bones our muscles the structure of our bodies Our immune system and so I tell my clients to get in at least a pound of meat at least 16 o of any kind of meat chicken shrimp fish bison elk ground beef sausages any kind of meat so that by the end of the day when we add up breakfast lunch and dinner we're at about 16 oz or a pound of meat then after that depend depending on age height weight gender activity level for the most part I'm suggesting for my clients to have 16 ounces of meat plus 4 eggs and 1 to two cups of dairy a day whether that be milk yogurt sour cream cottage cheese heavy cream any kind of dairy if you don't tolerate Dairy have more eggs if you don't tolerate eggs have more meat these animal foods are considered bioavailable and complete proteins whereas things like nuts and legums so beans lentils and chickpeas lack one or more of the essential amino acids that the body needs and cannot make thereby these are not considered complete proteins now that doesn't mean these foods are bad and should be avoided it just means you do have to mix and match and food combin to make them a complete protein and they don't have as many vitamins and minerals as animal Foods so I tell my clients yeah get in that 16 ounces of meat four eggs and 1 to two cups of dairy and then after that if you're still hungry then we can talk about about these plant proteins as like a bonus also I'm sure me saying 16 o of meat four eggs and 1 to 2 cups of dairy sounds like a lot of food but it's only 13 to, 1600 calories depending on the choice of meat someone's eating so if someone has o of meat being ribey more fatty then they might be on that higher 1,600 calorie range whereas if that 16 o was coming from leaner Meats like shrimp chicken turkey Cod then the calorie number would be close closer to, 1300 which I never recommend anyone not even my weight loss clients to go that low 1300 is 2 little calories so anyway we start with the 16 oz of meat four eggs and 1 to 2 cups of dairy and then for most people that's going to cover a lot of people's protein needs it's about 140 to 180 g of protein again depending on the kind of meat or dairy that someone's choosing and so therefore because we're still so low calorie and we need to increase the calorie the protein's pretty much covered of course we can still increase some protein for certain individuals but for the most part I'm going to be increasing the calories from either more fats or more carbs fats and carbs provide the energy for our bodies and so if I was just eating loads and loads of protein and not enough fats and carbs I'd likely feel pretty tired low energy and want to take a nap so if we're starting with 16 o of meat four eggs and 1 to 2 cups of dairy again that's very low calorie that's in you know calorie deficit even for my weight loss clients therefore we want to increase some of those calories either from fats and carbs or both or maybe just a little bit of protein essentially if someone doesn't exercise or if they have blood sugar issues or if they have diabetes or if they're trying to heal their hormones I will dial down the carbohydrate knob and increase the fats either in the forms of butter ghee Tallow chicken skins bone marrow pork belly avocados cod liver oil adding add coconut oil into coffee or heavy cream or for people who don't have diabetes and they're more active maybe they tend to undereat then I'll usually turn up the carbohydrate knob and we'll add in some Whole Food forms of carbohydrates from fruit honey milk potatoes and maybe white rice notice how with both groups of people I did not say I would increase calories with vegetables with the exception of potatoes because most vegetables with the exception of potatoes are very low calorie so if the goal is to increase calories well vegetables don't really help us with that goal I don't even count vegetables in my client's calorie count because they're just so little calories I mean unless you're putting cheese on your broccoli and some butter on your brussel sprouts then I would count the cheese and the butter but most veggies themselves with the exception of potatoes are very low calorie vegetables mainly add bulk flavor color and variety to the plate so with the exception of potatoes I say to my clients whatever group of people you fall into whether you have diabetes or not you can have as many vegetables as you want until it hurts you meaning you are having stomach pain and bloating and gas and your CIS is getting worse and you're having brain fog and you just don't feel very good okay then I would pull back on the veggies I myself don't have very many veggies because well two words Buddha belly and they don't really help me in increasing my calories I think of veggies as just added flavor and good deliveries of fat so you can add the butter you can add the cheese and get in more fat calories that way I know people like their veggies so I tell my clients eat as many veggies as you want until it hurts you I also offer one-on-one coaching where I help create meal plans answer more of your questions and so if you're looking to talk more one-on-one I'll leave a link to my coaching in the description by subscribing and liking this video it helps this message reach more people so by saying yes to Lily you're helping me help more people I hope you have a happy day and I'll see you in the next one
