I am trying prospanish (prospanish.co.uk) free lessons on youtube.
I think this approach of pyramid/Lego learning is fastest and easiest way to quickly

The solution to obesity is simple.
People want tasty food .
It is possible to make it with healthy ingredients.
But market is flooded with white flour,sugar,wheat and milk products.
It takes effort to prepare it yourself.
Lustig claims there was a catastrophic shift from fats to sugars due to blaming fats for obesity. Supposedly fructose doesn't trigger the satiation signals that fats do however.
Fructose also has different glycemic profile - it doesn't trigger the same big spike is blood sugar that glucose does. It has to be metabolized by the liver first, which is the rate-limiting step. Although, too much can lead to a cirrhosis-like condition called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [1]. Sugar is bad, even fructose.
With that in mind, there's no such thing as a minimum required daily intake of carbohydrates.
Yeah, fats definitely have issues, but, they come with rate limiters - satiation triggers. Heart of his argument is that fructose triggers nothing, so you keep chugging it, and with almost identical stress to liver as alcohol, which also has a limiter for most people (you pass out :) )
Satiation is more complicated then that. You can eat pure fat or pure sugar and neither option will make you feel full. Both will also cause malnutrition in you, no matter how much of them you consume.
The solution isn't simple, because the problem is that we have bodies that are evolutionarily designed for a world of extreme calorie scarcity that are living in a world of extreme calorie abundance.
Our deep genetic firmware hasn't been programmed to deal with this kind of extremely unnatural corner case, and we're collectively breaking because of it.
We just take 3 meals a day for granted without asking where this movement really came out of. Hint: agriculture/produce won't do well if people only eat 1 meal a day.
Eating one/two meals a day is something that nobody talks about as much as this other food conscious movements like gluten, carbs, now keto. All of this seems driven at pushing demand towards certain sector.
It's a sort of arms race. Unprepared plain raw organic produce is delicious, if you haven't been eating prepared food covered in salt and other seasoning for years. Once you start adulterating your food with flavor crystals, you require that stuff just to move the needle.
A flavor tolerance develops, similar to drug tolerance.
> Unprepared plain raw organic produce is delicious
Yeah, although I doubt it was as delicious before modern farming. Or even if it was, we didn't have most of it.
But an animal roasted over a fire is equally as delicious; just ask an Alone contestant. One woman ate the gut contents of a rabbit and said it was one of the best things she'd ever eaten.
I don't think so, I think it's more that we grew to live in a "feast famine" environment, but suddenly we are now in an environment with infinite food. It goes against our instincts to not eat food that is there. Instead we have to hope we have the willpower to overcome it with our rational thought processes. Most people, if they are not busy with other things, will want to eat. "Thankfully" we have capitalism and so people are busy and pushed to be even busier. I think without that, if we really had time to sit and relax without those mental pressures of progression, we would be much fatter.
It is just one of the ways that human material conditions has quickly changed way faster than the human animal has managed to evolve for it, and so it is unsuited for such environments. I think we might eventually have a technological solution (everyone on appetite suppressants)
While eating healthier things would probably help to an extent, nothing's stopping people from just eating more of those healthier foods and still becoming obese. Healthy or not, food is calories and a surplus of those calories will lead to weight gain.
Technically correct but practically beside the point. That's not how humans work.
What stops people from just eating more of those healthier foods is that they make you feel full more quickly and longer with the same amount of calories.
I agree that they make you feel full more quickly and for longer but a good amount of obese people don't overeat because they're hungry, they overeat because it's their way of dealing with problems. It's an unhealthy coping mechanism like alcohol and drug abuse and should be treated as such.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having higher food standards and healthier foods, I just don't think it'll help with obesity as much as you'd think.
I would be surprised if any of the large people in my life were overeating healthy foods like oats, chickpeas, bananas, lentils. Usually those were the things missing from their diet.
Frankly, it seems like low satiating, high dense foods are the only foods up to the task of making someone obese. e.g. The ease of drinking a liter of Coke vs eating that same amount of calories in beans.
I would be interested to see the food diary of someone who claims to overeat healthy food. I think it would illuminate our mass confusion about "healthy food". The healthy foods I think of are the kinds you can eat ad libitum without much consequence.
It’s not simple. Tasty food that has a considerable amount of water in it which can be produced and distributed on an industrial scale cheaply… is not an easy problem.
Really we just need to evolve so that these high energy density foods aren’t such a problem.
I don't think that's simple. People want tasty food with the least effort involved. This is a genetic programming. buffalo:bear::mcdonalds:healthy_cooking
It takes effort to make money to buy things we don’t prepare. Everything takes effort; it’s the trade off that needs evaluation. “Takes effort” is a given.
I really wish people who followed this sort of thing actually had some integrity and honesty. And by that I mean when they do have an illness or disease that they don't resort to "Western medicine" and instead relied on Gaia to get them through it.
Plant based diet can reverse diabetes ( I and II ).
For type I milk products need to be stopped.
Take 1% of your bodyweight as fruits.
Take 1 % of your body weight as Raw ( uncooked ) vegetables.
Take 10% of that vegetable quota as green leafy vegetables.
Based on China Study by Colin Campbell.
e.g. weight 150 pounds
1.5 pounds fruits before 1 pm
1.5 pounds raw vegetables for the day
If you are still hungry you can eat cooked food after completing daily raw fruits vegetable quota.
Avoid all animal,milk,processed packaged products and heated oils.
Will reverse diabetes in 3 days for newly detected patients.
Add 1 day for each year you have diabetes
It's tiring to keep getting suggestions of how to change diet when my body absolutely needs insulin from an external source. Further, while people may be able to reverse type 2, they still need insulin until they actually get there. So research into insulin delivery is relevant to all diabetics.
Also there are many ways of reducing carbohydrate intake. The diet you write about is just one of many ways to do that. Why single it out?
It is not just about carbohydrates.It is the healing by natural minerals vitamins from fruits and vegetables which cannot be replaced by supplements.
There is a long science with research papers which cannot be explained here.
It can't be explained here because it's wrong. People with Type I are born with or later develop an inability to produce insulin. It may be physical (the removal of a pancreas) or an autoimmune condition can destroy the beta cells, or they were born without functioning beta cells. Type II is a disease of poor nutrition, and is absolutely reversible through diet, exercise and/or fasting. Type I is a physical inability to produce insulin. Fruits won't solve that.
This diet with stopping milk products can.
Milk protein with 17 rings similar to beta cells.
Body in an attempt to kill milk protein which escapes into blood without breaking down the ring structure also kills beta cells
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4edofibXOiM
watch at 48 mins
This part of the video makes no sense. (I didn't watch the rest.)
From the video:
> If you observe milk protein (casein) under a microscope it will appears as this - there are 17 links in it.
The video says "links", you say "rings". It's a small but important distinction. Proteins are made by linked aminoacids, so sing "link" is a good approximation, but most of them don't look like "rings".
I can't find where the "17" comes from. After a few google searches I found that casein has approximately 210 aminoacids, the number can vary, but it is not 17.
(Also, you can't see a single casein protein under a normal microscope, nor the parts of it. I guess it's only a metaphor, but it makes me suspicious.)
I don't find the part in the video that says that casein escapes to blood. (I didn't try too hard.)
Casein is split in the stomach by the enzymes IIRC they are the regular enzymes that also split the proteins in meat, and other food, not specialized enzymes.
(There is an specialized enzyme for lactose that is an special sugar in milk, but this is not what the video or you say. But if this were dangerous, we'd have a lot of babies with diabetes. Moreover, only some adults produce the enzyme to digest lactose, so it would be easy to test.)
I didn't find a source that says that beta cells have some proteins that are similar to casein. It is posible, but I doubt.
And IIRC most autoinmune diseases, where the body get confused and start to attack some part of it don't go away after you remove the initial agent that causes the reaction. So stopping drinking milk won't stop the reaction.
There is no root cause since Cancer is a description of a set of symptoms, not a single disease. Trying to find the root cause of cancer is like trying to find the root cause of broken legs.
There is an idea among some medical professionals that cancer is a natural mutation, survival of the fittest at the cellular level. In other words, if we figured out a way to "cure" aging and live forever, everyone would still die of cancer eventually.
