    I'm an Asian American in my 40s. Growing up I was getting fatter. Through trial and error I found out that it was the bread and rice that was making me put on fat. Around 13 years old I went all meat and veggies with little rice. I probably didn't have a piece of bread for 2 years. When I got to college I was eating pasta, bread and meat and putting on weight because all the other kids were eating like that. Hearing this lecture, it all makes sense now.

    My wife and I gave up eating carbs (rice, pasta, bread, potato, french fries) six months ago. My wife lost 15 kilo, I lost 12 kilo. The weird thing is, we are never hungry.
  • Had to rewatch this many times over the years. What a great presentation.
  • I've watched this 3 times and I wish there was a way to like this video 10000 times! Wow, amazing talk, amazing knowledge, so interesting!
  • @nihany7460
    Wow. Just wow. You have no idea how much this presentation has clarified.

    I still have somewhere a small book with traditional recipes from my home town in Italy, recipes from the 1800s and early 1900s. They all contain meat, and mostly organ meat, including heart, brains and lungs, because "when you kill the pig you don't throw anything away". One that used to be very common had chicken livers cooked in a big pot full of lard. You had to put a small wooden stick in each liver to be able to dig it out from the solid lard afterwards.

    I told my young dentist, a USC grad, from a dentist family in Palm Springs, a little over a year ago, that I would never again have my regular monthly "cavity," because I had discovered the keto diet, and the paleopathology of tooth decay....(thanks to Dr. Eades.) He backed away as if he saw his life flashing before him. It was weird. He turned away stone-faced, so he didn't have to listen to my explanation. Last month, one year later, I decided to pay for full dental X-rays and an examination. He looked at the scans, probed my teeth and gums for about 7 minutes, saying nothing, then backed up and sounding somewhat amazed, said, "Um...looks like you were right!" "Your teeth and gums look much better than they were...and no cavities." CONVERTED? I doubt it. His livelihood depends on CARB EATERS.

    Dr. Eades is the real deal. I've been following him and his wife, also Dr. Eades, since the Protein Power days. When he speaks, I listen.
  • @pmfith
    The man who got me started in '98. Thanks, Dr. Eades..
  • @lindamclean8809
    I could listen to this man talk all day.......voice is so soothing
  • @chiledoug
    I collect cookbooks very eye opening The older ones had chapters for organs and wild game.. what veggies they did have were usually smothered in cream or lots of butter
  • @toni4729
    I think our kids knew better than us. How many times have our kids turned their noses up at the veggies on the plate? They knew.😆
  • @universeusa
    Grass fed NOT corn fed. A big difference. Thanks!
  • @Pemulis1
    One of the most interesting and informative diet lectures I've seen on youtube.
  • @creolenutrition
    The Egyptian part was mind-blowing. Thank you for such great and throughout evolutionary information. I love this stuff, give us more!
  • @haffoc

    No longer have hypo-glycemia thanks to the KETO diet, and am finally able to build some muscle due to my now reduced insulin resistance. And the first thing I did when I started was cut out wheat, oats, rice, and potatoes. It seems that high carb sources like these were intended by nature as emergency food sources, not to be consumed long term.
  • @amommamust
    Did 4 weeks strict carnivore and felt better than I have felt since I was a kid. Then this stupid COVID crap... fell off the wagon and once again, I feel like a half crippled granny. Working my way back off the carbs again. Thanks for the kick in the butt!
