okay so Ellen take me take me back take me back to the first day you decided to
become a vegan or yeah so it was probably like five six years ago and and
I didn't have to do anything with like watching a documentary because I think a
lot of times when people do get on some new fad new diet they usually start
watching some YouTube videos or some new documentary like what the health or
something like that but for me it was just I was experimenting with a lot of
psychedelics and during that time I was really focused on bodybuilding like I
was eating fast food a few times a day just so I could get all those calories
in and then there just came a day where I was just doing high doses of
psychedelics and like it just shifted like I had just like a kind of like a
paradigm broke through and I was like this is horrible for me and like I
needed to make some dramatic change for me and I just started like juicing a lot
just doing like only vegetables only kind of like fruits and whatnot and I
did that for like a month and I went from like 200 like 15 pounds 210 pounds
all the way to like 160 in a matter of like a few fucking months like two
months and then I thought that it was beneficial I had this whole premise
behind my like behind it that I was detoxing that I was cleansing my body
that like all this weight that I was doing was just unhealthy for me and then
just kind of my family was just like hey you need to start eating again and
whatnot so I just started doing a little more research on like plant-based food
diets and then I started implementing just like oatmeal and all the kinds of
foods and you know rice and then quinoa and then still like I didn't feel a
hundred percent and I still had this like idea that this was going to be the
answer for you know whatever issues I was having like I was dealing with like
depression anxiety brain fog fatigue all this kind of stuff and I thought that it
could have been from adrenal fatigue you know from all the heavy lifting all the
heavy foods that I was putting in saturated fats whatnot and it got to a
point where you know I felt fine I felt consistent I'm still hitting the gym but
you know after a few years after I was doing it for like five years
you know same kind of foods you know vegetables quinoa oatmeal you name it I
started realizing that just like the growth that I wanted in the gym wasn't
as dramatic as I wanted and the health benefits that I was looking for I felt
that in the long term as the years went by I wasn't improving like I wasn't
getting any kind of improvements in my vitality and I was just thinking like I
felt so good I felt so great back then I felt like more vital I felt more energy
like this long-term feelings of just like joy and happiness but then I was
just like oh maybe I was just you know just young and 18 and whatnot but then
like after a while I was like maybe this might have to do with this vegan diet
and then I was just like okay well started supplementing with vitamin b12
like a lots of it high doses and that made me feel tremendously better and
that was okay well maybe this is on to something so I still stuck on to the
vegan diet for some time frame and then I would do small increments of time of
uh you know like sardines or something just to see how my body would respond
but then there it came to a point where I just started you know watching
different kinds of video we stopped in to what's inland dr. what's-his-name
Erik Berg Dominick D'Agostino dr. Rhonda Patrick and they're just like coining in
all this direction was just like no this is not true what's coming out about eggs
a lot of things about saturated fat about like meat sardine like all these
kinds of foods that are shunned in the vegan community and like even for myself
like even when we did a talked in the past I never said I even died I would
say plant-based because I didn't want to be attached with that stigma because
that it honestly is like pretty toxic in this timeframe with the vegan community
it's toxic because if you're not a part of that tribe is just like you're fucked
like you're literally it shunned away and the info you bring light to like
let's just say a new study about eggs or some kind of fish or like how it could
benefit your health you right away like toss to the side and that seemed as not
true but like for myself like I was so obsessed with dr. my
Gregor and like he's really a big proponent in the vegan community in the
plant-based kind of movement and I like habitually watched his videos and that
was like my reality understanding all the science that he nitpicks you know
just to see what what how's that improving my life and I was taking this
information thinking that yeah like this is gonna change my life and what I
wasn't getting those results of like what these claims were being made I was
like dude I have to change something you know you you get all these information
that you're gonna feel better you're getting it all this energy and when it's
not happening now you got to start trusting your intuition and like your
direct experience rather than like what other people are telling you so you know
I was got to the poor like you know what fuck it I've been doing this for five
six years I have to let go of this dog want like I have to let go of this
mindset this philosophy is like ideology concept of - just eating plants I knew
that this wasn't going to take me in the direction that I wanted so that I just
that day I started just watching like the sound of it Eric dr. Eric bird dr.
Rhonda Patrick and I just started looking into the ketogenic diet and what
it was pointing to was just like sound information it's just like you know it
was so foreign to me in the sense because like all the things that they
were saying almost like I couldn't believe that I'm like no way like did
this will fucking kill you like I'm eating 80% fats a day 75% of my macros
are fats like this is no way but then it's just like the science it's like
pointing towards all the you know the current truth with that feel that I was
like you know what I have to just give this a try
so started watching sim land he had you know how to get into ketosis how do you
do the ketogenic diet and so I started it simple I got I went to some house
Thor got some I get like 80% fat 20% no no was 80% beef 20% fat just a regular
beef grass-fed beef got sardines got nutritional yeast got olive oil got
chicken thigh all these different kinds of foods just to get the things going
and you know they're talking about like the key
that usually when you start the ketogenic diet they'll be a incremental
period two to three weeks where you just like you literally feel sick like you
your body sore and whatnot and that is a hundred percent true like I felt so
lethargic and so tired and I was just mentally pushing myself through this
like phase you know because they're saying that a lot of it has to do with
electrolytes that you know your body's just you know all those carbohydrates
are flushing out of your body you know dumping out of your gleich out
of your liver and whatnot and so with all that being pulled out it pulls out
salt so you have to balance out the electrolytes and whatnot so I'm still
doing that and I'm still feeling like shit for you know three four weeks went
by then five weeks then six weeks and I'm like dude this is I I literally
thought that the ketogenic diet might not be for me because it was just like
you know people are saying this is only a few weeks two three weeks and they
feel amazing and they have this clarity and and they have all this energy not
for me whatsoever and it was after nine weeks like literally nine weeks that's
over like two months and plus like another seven days I started I just woke
up and I was like wow I just felt like a lot of clarity than I did before and
then I was just like am I gonna feel like shit today
like am I gonna not feel good cuz I was just getting to the point where I'm like
maybe I just have to abandon this like maybe my body's just not responding well
to it because you know there's people that have it's like called peepee a to
gene deficiency and it's just like your body can't metabolize fats well and like
someone like Ben Greenfield like he did the ketogenic diet like 12 months and
then he realized that he didn't have the gene to properly utilize saturated fats
and whatnot and I was thinking in my case maybe I have that like issue I
can't properly digest fats and utilize them but then after that time period I
was like nine weeks ten weeks and I'm just starting to realize and I'm feeling
a lot better and I'm not trying to emphasize like this is like a miracle
diet because like it has changed my life in a sense where it's like incrementally
made it thirty to forty percent better usually when I'd wake up
I'd be starving like I'd be so hungry to the point where like my stomach was in
pain and I'd have to start making food right away like after that nine to ten
week phase I was like oh let's just see how long I can fast for like I fasted
for 36 hours no wishes just drinking water with some
salt water or with salt in it and I was fine I'm like this is incredible it's
just the duration of time that I didn't have to eat that I could just go without
even thinking I could just leave the house because I literally had anxiety at
times that if I leave my house for a few hours that I'm not gonna have food that
I have to eat a meal and this kind of like body building delusion that you
know if you don't have meals every three or four hours you're gonna lose your
gains and all this kind of shit and just like I was eating on a vegan plant-based
diet 4,000 5,000 calories a day and if you know how much starch and carbs that
is like my macros were sometimes like 70% carbs and like I was eating just so
much right so much like I was literally like a walking pregnant guy sometimes
because I just ate so much food but you know I still wasn't maintaining that
mass as much like it was more difficult but then as soon as like my body
adjusted with the fats on keto I just started realizing I was maintaining and
preserving body mass tremendously like I could eat 2,500 calories and I wouldn't
be seeing like this notable loss because I would tell like with carbs like if I
missed a few meals I could tell the next few days even on the scale and visually
if I'm holding on mass if I'm not and I'm Kido is just I'm maintaining a lot
more mass like I put on in six to seven months cuz right now is probably the
seventh eight month period that I'm still on keto I've put on in that
duration 25 to 30 pounds without even changing my calories like I was
literally just maintaining muscle butter and it's just like foreign because I'm
like if I'm taken in 3500 calories 4,000 calories a day on a plant-based diet and
then I switched a taquito and it's the same calorie sources I'm just wondering
like what was the significant change and obviously it was like a lot more protein
a lot more fat but whore medically you know it
you need cholesterol you need what's a cholesterol and what saturated fat - you
know elevate testosterone levels like I feel like more manly in a sense I feel
like energetically on an emotional level I feel more grounded my essence in a
sense before I was just kind of like I don't have this energy this aggression
kind of attitude and now like it's changed it's definitely been like a big
shift in how I feel home at eclis you know how you feel on a daily basis so
yeah it's been like seven eight months on the ketogenic diet and you know I'm
not saying that I'm gonna be on it forever but I've noticed that beating
plant base for so long like I've missed out on how much better I could feel and
then I'm not going yet again I'm not saying it's like a miracle diet what
I've noticed substantially that there's a big change in how I'm feeling
energetically how I wake up how I go to bed like my last meal every day is at
5:00 p.m. every day and then I fast all the way till about maybe 9:00 in the
morning 10:00 in the morning and that's an 18-hour you know fast session and I
feel totally fine no aggressive kind of like hunger pulling for me and use with
with sticking to like plant-based foods and high carbohydrates I was just like
literally just always craving food just consistently and it just feels almost
like a relief that once I eat a meal my god I won't be hungry till like when I
want to eat and I'll be fine so yeah I mean that's how the same experience with
the Kido genic thought I don't follow it right now but when I was on it my
appetite was completely gone I was telling you before the call that when I
wake up in the morning like pretty groggy pretty tired and I find that when
I ate carbs that happens but when I was on the kill genic diet I would wake up
like a freakin Buddhist monk so early in the morning I'm ready to go already
awake like didn't need coffee so I can I can definitely for my own personal
experience understand where you're coming from with that how did your um
how did your lifts chain when you win oh yeah kiddo so I mean
even on a plant-based diet like I was still strong as shit like I still was
strong but I just didn't put on the mast like onto my body like I was at a
hundred sixty five hundred seventy pounds dead lifting 405 for like five
reps seven reps and I would squat 315 for maybe like like five to six reps and
I'm still strong as shit but and when I switched Aikido like that first month
was tragic you know I was gassing out so hard I felt I was like I literally for
the first week and a half I was at the gym I was just like alright let's just
keep going through it and I just like couldn't like mentally I'm pretty sound
like I'm pretty strong but it got to the point it was just like I'm literally 1/4
way through my workout and I feel like I'm gonna vomit and pass out so I was
like okay let's just be smart about this because yet again literally you're
changing your hormones completely and on top of it working out the stressor and
like I'm adding so much onto my plate here sounds like let's just work out at
home you know I have a kettlebell of the few kettlebells like 4050 pounds at all
just working out at home so it wasn't too big of a stressor but after that
month and a half period when I stepped into the gym man I was in shock I was
waiting for that time period to feel tired I was just like okay when is it
gonna happen like when am I gonna feel like that winded feeling and it was just
like passing by and I'm like okay just just keep going and I was going to the
poor I was just like well fuck how long can I train for I don't want to train
for like two three hours and I lift pretty heavy and and what's interesting
is that a lot of times people say especially in the keto community they
say that like they don't have pumps they don't feel that initial kind of poof the
explosive kind of power they feel like when they have cards they get that kind
of feeling for me it's never been like that I could have you know beat it's
tricky for two three months and I'll still have the strength the endurance
and it's just like this constant feat of energy with explosiveness so I think it
really just depends on an individual because some people say that they need
you know 30 so I have some dextrose or some kind of
sugary drink before a lift in just the you know cyclical Kido but for me it's
never been that case I've after that month and a half phase it's been
consistent like I my PRS have gone up even with like a 3 to 5 rep range
initially going off with a deadlift squats overhead price and even just my
endurance like dips like doing dips on a tricep thing I probably was doing like a
few days ago like 45 reps and I was like what the fuck like it's crazy like
before I was like struggling at like 25 reps but it's been pretty consistent so
strength has I wouldn't say changed to like an obscene rate but it's definitely
like I can fluctuate between endurance and explosive power like at a fuckin
dime you know right yeah I've never been on the keto diet like super long term
but when I tried it a few weeks after a few weeks just before I stopped I found
that my endurance was insane like I could if I was warming up on the
treadmill I just wanted to keep running like I just I could keep going and I
could hold the conversation I could just breathe deeper and that was something
that really surprised me yeah and the thing that I've also noticed that is so
strange to me it's like on a plant-based diet for some reason I just couldn't
tolerate fruit like the is spiked my insulin so hard I like my blood sugar in
a sense that I literally feel like I'm unstable almost like not in like a
psychotic state but like it was just so I felt irritable every time I ate fruit
and like if I if I ate like oatmeal all kind of complex carbs totally fine but
as soon as I had simple sugars my body just didn't tolerate it well at all like
I just like every time I was at people's house like oh I have some fruit I'm like
I can't I can't like it didn't sit on me good but on a ketogenic diet like after
a few months and I was like you know what fuck I'm just an experiment I want
to see how I like carbs sit on me and I had like a bowl of fruit and it was the
first time ever that I could sit and just like I feel
like I'm getting this agitated feeling like a huge spike my blood sugar like I
felt pretty comfortable and it felt that my body could utilize like carbs better
after being a like ketogenic diet like I never said lines talking about that
metabolic of flexibility that you can go and out of ketosis and go back into it
and like my body utilizes carbs tremendously I don't now to the point
like I even a few days ago I went to a Mexican restaurant and got a burrito and
I was just waiting I'm like am I gonna feel like shit I felt totally fine felt
totally fine and it you know a few days will go by fast and training and I'll be
back in ketosis no problem and I feel that due to the fact of making my body
learn to utilize fats properly allows me to just tap back into carbs more
efficiently and I feel my body just like literally just like sucks it in like
it's been in such a the starvation mode for so long and it's just like oh shit
cards let's take it in and yeah it's fucking it's pretty fucking cool yeah I
mean like in in nature we wouldn't really have carbs as available as they
are today you can't really you know you can go to
the supermarket and buy as many fruits as you want but I mean in nature it's
it's not going to be that likely that you're gonna have oh it's in pasta and I
mean it's impossible actually look at it just like seasonal eating like that's
something I've gone into as well with following ketogenic diets like we in the
winters like there's no way that people ate fruits and and barley and pasta like
that was inevitable like you had to eat something what was like the best sources
were like fats like animal fats like you weren't eating grass you want to store
that up that stuff would be frozen yeah mmm yeah but again I don't think it's
for everyone and you've made that clear obviously yeah absolutely
yeah I see I think a lot of times what happens and I this is something I've
meditated on and really think about is that we get so caught up with an initial
and that's currently presented by like by
people by scientists or whatever community and they give us their truths
their current truths and then people are like they get sucked into it and it
definitely has like a placebo effect you know people think that once they're on
this diet it's gonna solve their problems it's gonna give them all the
relief that they need but the reality is in most cases it doesn't because we get
so caught up in the idea rather than actually dial in and internally like
figuring out how is are we feeling and that's like something we dismiss
sometimes we get so caught up in other people's you know truths and and what
they're telling us about this thing what its gonna do that we don't assess
ourselves and get to the point where we're just on the diet or we're on the
grind with it just because of someone else's belief and it becomes a trap it's
just like and like any religion any kind of ideology if you get so accustomed to
believing it that is the only truth you're just bound to be in illusion and
delusion for a long period of your time until you know you you have some serious
disease or someone presents better science and you're gonna have to learn
to accept it because yet again is just like everyone has their truths you know
in the vegan community they have their truth of what they believe but then yet
again this is what science about like what science is about is you follow with
you know you're not nitpicking certain kind of you know studies to follow your
favor and to everyone followed this movement it's just like no let's see
what the science is saying and not sticking to one doctor because the only
doctor in the plant-based community a lot is dr. Michael McGregor everyone's
sticking to him and that's like their source but like you look at you know
people following omnivore diets like he has such a large spectrum of individuals
that will be like you know what that advice is not to sound yes you know
eating a ton of meat is not an ideal even like people following the car no
carnivore diet personally for myself I think that it's not ideal it's not good
for a long-term you know dr. Jordan Peterson and his daughter both of them
have serious you know depression different kinds of IBS symptoms
and they've said that that diet is you know cured them to a certain kind of
extent almost to all their symptoms and you know there's definitely a lot more
research that has to go into it we still don't know all the answers to it because
yet again this is what science is about evolution it's about you know new truths
coming out new science and yeah it's just don't be dogmatic with any even
keto you know maybe in a few years I'll be doing something else and it's just
nothing definite but this is like my current experience with it it's good
that you give yourself the freedom to do that and that that must be really
relieving for you because yes because people they build their identities
around the diet and then the the prospect of quitting is something like
that for them was like a tragic life event because everything that I'm known
for is about that diet some people put like you know vegan and their name so
keto in their names and it's like they're IG and shit yeah I mean I mean
there's nothing wrong with that it's nothing wrong with promoting something
that's worked for you but when when you start to advertise it like the be-all
end-all cure for everything um you were saying like Michael Greger that that
doctor fit the description of what you were talking about before yeah one
doctor who will kind of preach one thing I've had him on the channel before and
you know he's an interest he's an interesting guy but it's like it's just
like this is the cure for everything and if it's not working for you then you're
just not doing it right yeah it's just like oh it's just like listen like like
if you were let's just say have like dr. Jordan Peterson's daughter I'm trying to
remember her name and like oh you know what's auger diet through plant-based
diet and she's not being cured and they're just like well you know you're
just unfixable you're just how your genetics are how your DNA is just you're
just gonna have this for the rest of your life and then you know what kind of
hope does that give you as an individual yet well I'm just fucked like that's
what it comes down to but then yet again people are doing their own research and
on top of that doing their own individual experience you know they're
they're they're taking in the food and they're not taking outside sources of
you know all this kind of info they're just like okay how am I feeling right
now the China again the next day and they're rotating
it taking out of their diet bringing it back in and then like you know what when
I eat this I'll feel a lot better and it's just like well that's what you
should start with instead of just you know I think it's great to have a
foundation of any sort you know let's just be real like I think a lot of times
when people switch to a plant-based vegan diet many people they start
claiming that their life has changed and you're just asking okay like well what
are you eating now what have you changed like well I don't you know I don't eat
processed foods and you're like well that's a huge part that you're just
literally put out like process like for me if I eat anything usually processed
it screws me up I feel that it inflames my gut regardless whatever diet I'm
following it inflames the shit out of my gut and I feel you know more irritable
because a lot of times even with the gut microbiome they've shown that what
mental disorders anxiety depression can be contributed to inflammation of the
gut so it's just like well obviously you feel better if you're taking out
inflammatory causing things you know yeah yeah I definitely feel the same way
if I eat junk food although I do eat some unhealthy food from time to time I
seem to handle it pretty well I'm a big advocate of you know if it fits your
macros I think that's a good strategy for a lot of people especially if
they're just beginning with their health because they kind of helps them realize
that you don't have to be a hundred percent perfect about things yeah the
second time the the goal is to be almost perfect because that's when you're
generally going to feel this yeah and it's interesting you say that because I
was actually listening to a book recently it's called own own the day by
Audrey Marcus and they were talking about you know how strong the placebo
effect and when it comes to us with our food you know they were talking about
like they gave like an example where someone was eating a certain kind of
food and they were saying that you know it was really healthy that they was
gonna give him like a boost of energy and all this kind of stuff and they
start eating and they say they start feeling this way but they did the same
study and they were literally testing the inflammatory markers on individuals
that they were saying that this food is you know it might give you a headache it
might make you a little sick we're just gonna see how it responds
with your body and literally people like with blood markers showing that it was
giving inflammatory responses more white blood cells in the blood stream and
that's an indication of you know your body trying to protect itself it's like
our mind it's so much more you know stronger than we actually perceived like
honestly like just the fact that you think something could be unhealthy for
you right away your body takes it in as like it could
be a poison you know like that in a literal sense but like unhealthy that's
gonna cause some inflammation I've experienced this myself so much when
when I tried the Kido genic diet this was a long time ago I kind of got into
that mindset that oh my carbs are bad bread is bad you should avoid it which
for certain people that have celiac disease whatever it's better so most
people bread isn't terribly unhealthy but I was on it and then I would kind of
be like scared of it almost and then I and then I ate it and I'm like oh fuck
I'm gonna feel like shit and then I felt like shit but now if I eat bread it's
fine it's not a problem you know it's just because for example
if you if some ran the person goes and has a diet soda from the convenience
store and then they carry on with their work they're probably going to feel the
same but if you tell someone that diet soda is incredibly bad and it's gonna
make you feel like anxious or something and then you give it to them ounce of
one year or saying that they're probably gonna feel like crap hundred percent and
I think like one of the greatest like quotes it's like today's medicine can be
tomorrow's poison it's like don't be so sure that the shit that you're eating is
like literally the cure for all your problems and all it's just like you have
to rotate your foods consistently I'm not saying like every single day but
just like take things out once in a while and see how you feel I'm bringing
back in because a lot of times like we'll be eating something for so long
and we don't see how it makes us feel what's what what are some of the cons of
keto for you you have to think how huh I'm trying to think of something let's
just see I would say maybe more on a psychological level
it stems from like psychologically craving something like I'll crave like
maybe ice cream or something but I don't have that biological kind of physical
necessity to like reach out and get it it becomes just a mental game and I
think it's just like man that looks good but whatever I'm just gonna still stick
to being strict keto and whatnot but I still have my you know I do stick now
more like a cyclical where I'll do maybe once every week or once every two weeks
I'll just binge out like I'll go into a sushi place and eat like 70 pieces of
sushi or like 80 in a sitting and then people look at me like what's wrong with
this person he might seem food and like no your workout buddy next day must be
insane after all like yeah yeah like explosive power tremendous like even
though like I still have pretty consistent explosive power like I don't
feel shorted in my strength but the next day is just like my muscles swell up
like balloons huge pump play yeah 100% that's the best no doubt about it
yeah so what do you think the future of veganism maybe even the Keo community
what do you think this is all going in the next few years no I I just I see it
as almost you know the same thing like Atkins the same thing with vegetarianism
is just a phase it's like in all honesty it's people are just trying to figure
out to the best of their ability what's good for them and what isn't and we're
making our best assumptions with the tools that we have today with the
science with the labs and all that like we're just trying to make the best
assessment for what's best for our body and I think that as time goes on we're
gonna get to a point where just you know a new for like a new front of a certain
diet will pop up and the macros will change and the food style will change
and the eliminations like there always will be something to to adapt in a sense
but I just feel that is you know regardless of what information is given
to us I think the most important thing is just figure out what works for you by
intuition and like regardless of sources are getting just you kinda have
to be like in a monk innocence you have to kind of cut off all the info is
coming out and do your own experimentations you know one week just
do all fruit to see how you're feeling do one next week do all me with some
fats it's just like clear it should be fun like this is what I enjoyed about
diets is in a sense it's like it's a new experience it's a new way to come
through life in the different lens and see how you feel and how it you know
food like food should be enjoyable you shouldn't be dreading you know I can't
eat this it's just life's about balance you know you're what you're gonna live a
hundred years and you're just gonna avoid all this kind of stuff it's just
like come on let's be realistic like even even like here's my kind of
perception on things it's like even if the plant community veganism is correct
that cholesterol is bad for us if you know saturated fat is bad for us and it
shortens your life span for 10 to 15 years even if that is true but if I feel
better eating that food if I literally feel that I have more energy and I feel
more consistent I feel more mentally sharp than when I eat these foods people
get so caught up in the quantity of years that they're gonna be adding but
they forget about the quality yeah if I eat these foods and I feel a lot better
imma stick to that regardless of what you tell me you know exactly have like 5
years less with without the without the anxiety and depression if the keto diet
helped me with that you know yeah yeah and that's something I've noticed like I
feel my anxiety and depression like I'm not saying that like I'm clinically to
the poor like I can't get it out of bed but like I would say am I pretty
what's the word I'm looking for it's you're all they got no it's it's
like a high active person like a person that still can get a lot done to the due
date but they still have like depressive subsets what's the wet oh I know this
would save losing the train of thought on it but besides that point it's just
like when I have those moments right like man
just sluggish and it would just be my will in a sense pulling me to get shit
done like on keto you know that was first eight weeks were just terrible
felt like really anxious but then after that like my symptoms of depression
anxiety have I would say subsided maybe like 30% 40% but so that's like a pretty
big yeah they look great and it and it's not to the point where like it's a cure
everyone wants cures but like let's just be realistic and find realistic goals as
just like everyone everyone looks for cures but you don't look for something
to just manage them and just get them through shit because everyone who looks
for the magic pill they're like oh well if I didn't get a hundred percent
guaranteed anxiety relief then you know it's not worth it but if you deal with
on a daily basis then it's just like you notice a different state of mind when
you're eating high fast because like honestly I don't get these fluctuations
and I'd be so anxious to eat food for the fact of like oh if I don't have food
my blood sugar is gonna go off I'm gonna feel like shit and it's already kind of
you know creating this premise psychologically what I did get a hungry
man the hangry part of me just came out I was like I need food I'd be more
irritable more pissed off but now as to the poor is just like I can eat for
twenty hours not eat for twenty hours a day or two and I'll be fine you know
still like maybe like I I'm a little bit more thirsty and I'll just drink more
water but other than that I'll be fine mm-hmm I really really liked what you
said about doing looking at your diets and changing your diets like an
adventure you know something positive something good because today it's
something people are overly stressing about like you know yeah like that guy a
vegetable police for example for those of you watching who don't know he was
originally a vegan and always switched to a carnivore died a very extreme
change and now I think from seeing one video he's considering changing back and
I think it's because he has so many comments just argue
different ways and that's influencing his own life so like Ellen was saying I
think like going away and being a nutrition monk for a while and figuring
out what in tune intuitively works for you is sometimes the best thing to do
yeah I really think that in order to find truth and like truth can be defined
in so many different ways and I think the most important truth is your own
truth and you like obviously you can take opinions you could take other
people's truths but what you come down to at the end of the day what makes you
feel good what makes you more vital like that's
when it comes down to there's so many people like you we all know like when we
get on in the morning we might make wake up and we just start looking through
Facebook and we're just scrolling we see some stupid comments and then we're
almost like thinking about it like two hours later it's just like things have
much greater forces on us than we think like seeing all those comments just like
you're a piece of shit how could you do this like to the vegan community plays a
toll and like obviously to a subconscious and unconscious part like
that's reflecting in some way and you know it that's what like just like you
have to become a nutritional monk in a sense for some time period and really
just disconnect from all the info yeah honestly as long as you like as long as
you're not being dumb with your diet and you're eating these extremely unhealthy
foods and you're not getting nutrients if you're getting the nutrients you need
and you feel good but then just do that keep it simple you know it definitely
and what's kind of scary is like you you see a lot of times with the plant-based
community and I would say point there's more to the fruitarian individuals man I
was just watching I was like these people are losing weight and still like
it was me like I was that kind of skinny I went from 215 pounds to like 150 160
in a matter of like a month or two like that it's just like you're literally
dropping massive like 60 70 pounds and there's a lot of weight to lose yes I so
like those guys he was doing one meal a day on a fruitarian diet and all he had
was it was like one kilogram of blueberries for dinner and that was it
I'm telling you when I was on a fruitarian diet that was the worst
depression I've ever saw my life like you were separating at all
huh so obvious obviously like b12 deficiencies and other kind of vitamin A
and shit but like I literally felt like shit and like there's people that claim
like all you need to eat is just fruit and you'll be fine it has all the
essential vitamins all the minerals all this kind of stuff and I felt horrible
and I did it for like a month can I have two months yeah I mean
different diets work for different people but yeah a fruitarian diet long
term without supplementation no no that's not you know you can get like
irreversible brain damage for that if you're not getting enough b12 so that's
scary stuff very scared how long man that pull the fruitarian yeah I would
say almost like a month and a half two months so he started eating oats again
because you were feeling like oh just because I lost so much weight and then I
was feeling like shit like oats with my body it's it's on me so well like yeah I
want I would eat sometimes to scoop like two cups of oats in a sitting and like
mix in like bananas nuts all this kind of stuff and I can feel pretty sound
like yeah I'd be a little bloated because with any carbs in that kind of
quantity then you'll feel a little bloated but still like it just went
perfectly fine I fucked right every time I ate it like mentally I felt a lot more
sound than I did on a fruitarian diet and I was eating like literally I was
eating like 35 bananas like like a day like all this random shit like
blueberries or watermelon I was thinking like you know it's fruit fruit is super
healthy it's got all these vitamins it's got all this stuff and I was like
literally my bowels were like shot like I felt like a cramp like oh my god it
was horrible yeah I tolerate uh silly carbs I love my
carbs I like I like potatoes potatoes but they don't have hair in Korea
unfortunately it's difficult to find really which sucks yeah like you can
find them but you have to you have to go on a mission you have to walk all the
way to one sock is that have a few of them and then you get there and there's
hardly any left so it's like yeah but that's interest
like I I don't I don't eat fruit either actually
and not for any particular reason I just I just don't eat L it was no I just I
like fruit but I just haven't eaten it football for some reason yeah I mean for
me it's like I crave raspberries and blueberries that's you know blueberries
are so expensive yeah but the thing is like by B we have like Costco's and like
Sam's Clubs and those are just like huge as kind of warehouse and they give good
discounts on foods like I can get close to I don't know like a huge fucking
massive amount of blueberries like four dollars what or like organic actually
what's your daily diet yeah it'll be a good way to do definitely so each day I
just cook everything up straight in the morning and then I just divide that into
three meals so like what I'll do is I'll do 16 ounces of like chicken thigh I'll
put that on the grill and I'll start cooking it and then I add in 6 to 7
slices of like turkey bacon and I cook it with maybe like 3 to 4 tablespoons of
coconut oil and then once I finish that I'll toss in some broccoli like a
massive massive amount of broccoli and I'll cook that up and then I'll cook up
like 9 to 10 eggs and I'll put that in scramble it and then I'll put them and
individually split it into bowls and then in each Bowl I'll put in 5
tablespoons of olive oil extra virgin olive oil so like in total it's like 15
tablespoons and what's interesting and it was like a recent study from the Blue
Zones were showing like weekly like Italians usually eat like over a liter
over a liter of olive oil they're showing like one of the highest you know
rates of lowest rates of like heart disease and whatnot with like massive
amounts of extra virgin olive oil and so like I'll do like 15 tablespoons of that
and then like that puts me with oh and then I do some sauerkraut in there some
kimchi I'll switch between them and then I'll just put in some walnuts with it
like probably like 1/4 cup each in each bowl and that comes out to like 4,500
calories no it's easy to get those calories up with olive oil yeah yeah
absolutely that's 1,500 calories just like that oh
that sounds like a vegans nightmare yes oh my god telling that's a michael
greger 8 or 9 eggs a day could be like that's that's 50 cigarette is according
to what the hell yeah but I still like I'll take like cod liver oil like a
supplement with that just to get my omega-3s like I'll do chia seeds just
because as low lectin levels like there's a book called like the plant
paradox so I do avoid foods that are in lectin kind of source but you know I'm
just experimenting with it I still I could touch food that have lectin in it
I haven't noticed any kind of substantial difference I think that
really stems down to people with massive like autoimmune issues I don't have any
kind of autoimmune but and he said that you know what I really had just now have
a craving for dairy if I do maybe it's like goat's milk or something
like once in a fucking blue moon but other than that I really don't have like
too big of a desire for dairy and it's not that it's just like what sound of
sound evidence avoiding it's just like I don't have a preference really for it
hmm um yeah I'm the same I don't really crave milk or anything yeah alright
let's finish it off there that was interesting
yes for sure that was a great combo to go through you know yeah good adventure
I think go on I was just gonna say anything if you could just extract you
know I don't want anyone who's watching just like make food enjoyable again like
don't make it into this dogmatic you know the suffering that you have to go
through every day and avoiding events avoiding people just because you like
choose this lifestyle like have fun one day is not gonna kill you I promise like
I literally will on keto eat close to like 4,000 calories just of sushi which
like strictly carbs and then I just know in a few days I'll be straight back into
keto I'll be doing my fasted cardio training and like
everything's always gonna be fine as long as you just like keep that you know
that child state within you which you're just having fun with diet you know yeah
keep it simple you know find what works you don't become obsessive yeah
sure that all right so if if anyone's still watching then then you've got to
check out on this YouTube channel which I'll put in the description if you if
