The Best Diet?

question here what is the best diet it comes in from uh will smart this is a deep rabbit hole and this is one that's very very controversial i've got a whole section in the members website that goes through different approaches protocols you know which doctors are saying what which research is saying what mostly the things that i believe in it's through other people's voices as well as my own opinions and experiences um there's a lot to consider when you look at diet because there's the tr you know traditional aspects of it you know what's available locally how your body's reacting to things you know you've got it matters how you breathe it matters where your mind's at all that is going to impact what goes on with food in your body saying all that my understanding has brought me to a point where i believe that every human is able to live on their own tissue i don't think that's very much under dispute okay so humans have the ability not to eat for a period of time therefore when we're doing that we're existing on protein and fat and not much carbohydrate we're really meant to go into that state quite regularly maybe most of the time and so most of the time we should be in in and out of ketosis in mild ketosis in deep ketosis and if we're looking at this from a health perspective right so you've just said best diet it's it's very broad i'm going to talk about human diet and then elite athletes may want to deviate from the human diet including basically performance enhancing exogenous carbohydrates all right so carbohydrate can be used as a performance enhancer but it should be used sparingly and kind of thought of like a supplement for most people now there are genetic outliers and some differences but i don't think i think it's overstated from from my understanding so we can all live on our own tissue and we have a digestive system that is designed to be able to deal with consuming meat right so we have a very acidic stomach and we have short small intestines we have a very poor ability to break down fiber and cellulose we have massive brains relative to our digestive processing capacity so we sacrificed a lot of ability to process plant foods for the sake of big metabolically demanding brains and those big metabolic demanding brains are made mostly of fat and it was when we found the ability to break bones and get a lot of fat from bone marrow and from eating brains that it seems we made big advancements as humans if you look at that evolutionary line of thinking so yeah my belief is that the foundation should be those foods so meat eating nice detail liver is a really important food for healing brain uh is a good food for uh optimizing the diet bone marrow kidneys um you know the liver fat suet these sorts of foods are actually the foods that our ancestors prized and yeah our food culture has changed a lot so these concepts might sound horrifying to some people challenging to others or normal if you're in a part of the world that hasn't been as impacted by food technology and food industrialization so the history of food is really really interesting what people considered normal food great food 500 years ago is very very very different to to what it is today so those are key foods and muscle meat goes along with that they're the foundation of a healthy diet bone you know soup bone broth that sort of stuff stock made from those things as well and then you can add in some amount of carbohydrate on top of that basically to tolerance to demand and then the poorer you are the more you subsist on the carbohydrates and then over the last sort of 50 years we've come up with all these franken-food chemical things that have never existed throughout human history super high processed foods um the way we can process grains and such has never our guts have never had to deal with that sort of thing in the past so yeah it's about eliminating poisons and then putting in the best stuff and depending on you know your individual goals if i was to be diagnosed with some sort of very very serious issue illness i would look at something like the saccharov protocol so he's a guy who's dealing with people who have had diagnosis that um they're they're in deep trouble and you know his protocol is is quantifying their return to health so yeah that basically that protocol is a lot of the things that i'm speaking about there [Music] vegetables fruits fruits are quite a controversial one we sort of manipulated a certain small amount of plants to produce what we want them to produce maybe initially that was to give pigs and and animals that we domesticated better food i know that uh a lot of when potatoes and corn and things like that first came to europe a lot of it was considered to be you know pig food and then it's gradually become you know more for people some say that slavery became possible uh when we started to cultivate grains and you know the the super rich had massive lands where they ate wild game and this sort of the the moderately wealthy were able to have the herded animals like sheep and cattle and that sort of thing and then the the poor were living on things like chicken eggs and raw dairy things like that and grains and you know slave slavery was made possible by the storage of grains and sort of the mass usage of of grains so a few thoughts about diet
