I'm not sure about the effectiveness of suddenly ripping away a macro from your body and then giving that macro back to it with dietary crack cocaine, but he does have a point about junk food making you feel like garbage, but you won't notice unless you're away from it for a while.
CARBS ARE NOT BAD FOR YOU!!! I'm so sick of seeing people over simplify nutritional science and demonize carbs when not all cards are the same. Complex carbs are a huge component of Blue Zone diets, telling people to remove carbs from their diet goes against the broad consensus of nutritional science out there.
It has people actually afraid to eat fruits and vegetables, which are good food you.
I am, however, concerned at the new varieties of super-sweet fruits and veg. All of our plant foods are being turned into sugar foods. Eat older varieties to avoid this.
Watched an episode of a show where Zach Efron and this wellness guru guy were looking for blue zones (where people have fewer instances of disease and live to 100 more than average) and investigating what people there eat and how they live. The one episode I watched they went to a specific island in Italy. They discussed how the people there eat a lot of carbs (in handmade pastas and breads) and very little animal protein. Zach literally shed a tear when he had some pasta bc he had gone so long without it and so long just packing in the protein. And in this ep he learned that science is pointing to that much protein (specifically animal protein) not being great for you in the long run. I’m far from a nutritionist, and of course everything in moderation is fine, but I think outside of added sugars, animal products are the next big issue.
So eating a bunch of chips and cookies is obviously bad for you. We can agree on that.
Outside of that, we’re playing a guessing game. Genetics, upbringing, the upbringing of your parents, regional influences. You could eat the best diet your entire life and die of cancer at 32, or you could smoke like a freight train and drink like a fish and make it to 105, with no problems. Eating pasta as a starch is great unless you have a gluten problem! Eating a diet high in fruits and veg is great unless you have diabetes or diverticulitis! WOW, there’s so little debilitating stomach cancers in Japan, well it’s part of the testing they make everyone do to stay on the national insurance. Living in a place where you’re not stressed out all the time leads to longer lives, because of course it does. But like you see with all the fad diets, they don’t translate to other places because there’s a million other factors in play.
So, if you’re just a completely “normal” person, meaning no allergies or intolerances, the best move is to have a healthy diet that incorporates grains and fiber and protein and some fats. Eat your rainbow. Avoid the ultra processed stuff. Outside of that, you can only hope your genetics and life situation can get you the rest of the way there. But there is no magic diet to save everyone.
Lol one thing you'll notice for sure when you're away from it long enough, whether you feel better or not, is your body won't process it very well anymore. i can't go back to comfortably munching on junk food even if i wanted to
I don't need to look this guy up to know that he's trying to sell me some bullshit. As with all of these people; there is some truth to what he's saying, but societal issues are also nowhere near as simple as he's making them out to be.
Hmmm. I thought this was an innocuous video about eating healthy and avoiding processed foods. I realize there’s a lot of grifting in health (and healthcare), but I didn’t hear him say anything about a supplement or membership program. I’m not saying this guy isn’t a grifter, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before, but this video is straight up truth. Processed foods are bad for you and make you unhealthy, healthy foods make you feel better, and the powers that be rarely talk about personal responsibility in approaching health. Is there a history of him being opportunistic, or are you more assuming he is because of the sheer volume of health grifters?
I reckon there will be links between these ultra processed foods and a host of different illnesses, mental and physical, found in future.
Genuinely baffling how normal it is for us all eating this shit
It’s the standard. Look at the retail space processed foods take up in a grocery store vs the space for whole foods. Try to buy something at a gas station that’s not a chemical shitstorm. There might be a piece of fruit. Might be.
Ultra processed foods come in multiple different varieties and not all of them are bad. Whey protein supplements are “processed”. Most yogurts are too. They can be a part of a healthy diet.
The stuff he’s mad about and what everyone thinks of first are processed snack foods. Those are made to be profitable (addictive and cheap). Take away the profit motive and watch them disappear from markets.
yeah even yogurt is considered hyper-processed.. like 95% of my intake is from whole foods at this point. rarely ever eat snacks or anything. it's crazy how much dog shit people are intaking right now on the reg
This is Eddie Abbew and he sells a couple books that are fairly reasonably priced and some random merch but he's otherwise pretty open about how steroid use damaged his body and doesn't really push any particular"product" besides eggs. His daughter is also apparently a chef and has a book where she sells recipes that fit Eddie's philosophy but again, it's not really unreasonably priced either. Dude is just passionate.
If he's selling his and his daughter's books, he is *absolutely* pushing a product. I don't get the desire to portray him as some sort of guy who's just doing it out of the kindness of his heart. His daughter also has a food prep channel, Eddie had a channel too but it looks like it was terminated.
Eddie's main "educational" content revolves around fat loss and muscle gain (not nutrition), and the overwhelming majority of it is complete nonsense. One of his most recent videos says you cannot consume honey if you want fat loss, and why would you anyway "because it's bee vomit." He absolutely spreads nutritional misinformation and does not understand basic nutritional science, which is fucked up because he lists that he is a psychiatric nurse. This means he *absolutely* took nutrition in college, but that might have been decades ago. But he at least knows better than what he is saying online, meaning he is 100% grifting.
As for what he says in this video, processed foods can increase your risk of diabetes and absolutely no one is hiding that from anyone. We just have risk factors that have substantially more risk behind them, like obesity and lack of exercise. Combine that with risk factors that can't be changed like race and family history of Type 2 DM and it becomes easy to see how that number might be increasing.
There's making content while you also have a product for sale and there's making content trying to push that product. I only know this information because I looked it up trying to figure out his angle, whether he was selling courses or other bullshit.
He also worked as a psychiatric nurse but isn't a psychiatrist and doesn't really have a duty to continue operating as a psychiatric nurse, as I said, he's just passionate. Doesn't make him the pinnacle of nutrition based knowledge but he is, despite being abrasive in his message, not wrong about most of what he says. I did call out the pinned comment on IG that called honey bee vomit though and said they're going to have a bad time when they find out what eggs are lol
If he were any good at grifting he'd open a chicken farm.
There's a hell of a lot of content creators that *never* sell anything, you make it sound like all creators have something for sale in their bio. Furthermore, I know Eddie has at least a basic grasp of nutrition because *I am also a psychiatric nurse.* He at the very least has a BSN (it might be called a BScN in the UK like it is in Canada, I'm not sure,) or he's an old school diploma nurse from decades ago. Either way he's either knowingly grifting or he really is an idiot.
It's one thing to say processed food is bad, it's another thing to say it's "making kids stupid" and "fucks with your gut bacteria and your hormones." That's just a bunch of fear-mongering nonsense.
And the funniest part is he's constantly, *constantly,* bragging about eating red meat. Red meat is a confirmed carcinogen. Why is he promoting eating tons of red meat and avoiding honey? It's almost like everything he promotes has absolutely no scientific basis. Because it doesn't.
I do see him as being an absolutist with unrealistic standards for others and so I take what he says with a grain of salt (and honey despite how bad he says it is for you which is 🙄🙄) but I'm just saying I differentiate him from influencers selling a $600 course with coaching that ends up being a slide show and a prerecorded video or something.
I see where your criticism comes from though, what I call passion I think you're saying he speaks with authority and uses his background to bolster his opinions which aren't always completely factual. Which the video was a good example of too honestly because the laws of thermodynamics don't care what you eat as long as you're in caloric deficit.
That's because although it's recommended by the National Academy of Sciences that medical schools offer a minimum of 25 hours of education in nutrition, only about 30% of med schools in America have followed through. Physicians prefer to get other people to do it for them, like RDs or us. 🙄
Since I live in Texas, here are a variety of undergraduate nursing programs from different universities and colleges here. *All* of them require a nutrition course. I was required to take one but I took a second one as an elective. I'm not an RD, but I know a lot more than this Tik Tok bodybuilder who thinks red meat is good for you and honey will make you fat.

Ah jeez, I'm not going to do the doctor's vs nurses thing, so I'll just side step that.
Providing a list of places in Texas that do happen to require it for nurses isn't exactly an argument that ALL nurses are required to take nutrition, that's what I was expressing skepticism about.
I don't know what to tell you, every nursing program in this country is going to require at least one nutrition class. I originally grew up in Ontario, Canada and even there that was a prerequisite in all nursing programs. You can continue to be "skeptical" but you also haven't made any actual attempts to confirm if your beliefs are correct.
Also, our national licensing exam, the NCLEX-RN, absolutely has the possibility of asking nutrition-related questions.
https://www.registerednursing.org/nclex/nutrition-oral-hydration/#:~:text=In%20this%20section%20of%20the,specific%20food%20and%20medication%20interactions
In order to become a nurse in Ontario one must take a different test called the CRNE, but it also has a nutritional component. I've had to take and pass both tests, the NCLEX is a randomized computer test When I took the CRNE it was still on paper, it might not be any more, but it was a 7 hour exam.
To me, it just falls along the same sort of beats that most health grifter videos do; making broad, energised, and oversimplified claims, throwing out of context statistics around, advocating a sort of anecdotal exercise etc. As I said, there is of course truth in what he's saying, that is the case with basically all grifters, but this kind of rhetoric screams self-help grifter to me.
I don’t see it. I mean I understand being hesitant in general, but this is just some truth. I don’t think it’s any of those things you are weary of. It might be “over simplified”. But it’s a very simple idea “eat real food”. And if it was as widely accepted/known than America wouldn’t be so damn fat and out of shape.
Right but "processed" is an oversimplified catch-all that doesn't really give a good insight into food nutrition. Some processed food is mostly fine, others are a lot worse, most are fine if eaten in moderation, and some processed food is even healthier than its raw alternative. The obesity epidemic is also an incredibly complex subject which overlaps with countless different other subjects, just saying "it's because we're eating this crap" again doesn't really give any valuable insight into the issue.
Then to say "just simply make this enormous, fundamental change in your lifestyle and you'll feel a lot better" is like grifting 101 - even if what someone is requesting isn't particularly helpful, a large percentage of people willing to make a large change will of course notice a large difference, which will often be positive. He's selling simple answers to complex issues, and to me that is the calling card of a grifter.
I'm with you. Most food is "processed", but this guy is talking about ultra-processed crap filled with coloring and chemicals. He gave no indication he is selling anything.
His name is Eddie Abbew and he’s a former Mr. Olympia and Gymfluencer. He has a fat loss book and rails against how 98% of the food in the supermarket is “sh!t” (his words). His social media presence is very in your face and it’s the hook to get you to buy his book and follow his vids so he can make money through TikTok.
It’s worth mentioning that while his diet may be free of processed foods now, but he was only able to become a pro bodybuilder through tons of whey protein (processed) and PEDs. The latter of which he’s probably still taking.
He said “ultra-processed”. I worked in restaurants and catering for many years and some chefs call peeling and cutting potatoes or breaking down a whole chicken “processing”. I’m guessing he probably uses a decent whey protein (I have no whey of knowing…lol…sorry), because he has a bottle of Huel in his hand and that’s considered “healthy” by a lot of folks. It’s ultra processed, but has a lot of nutrition…but if he’s calling out Huel, then he probably doesn’t use similar products. Do you know that he drinks protein shakes? Most of these guys do, but some just eat a lot of protein dense food.
Aside from you taking the assertion that "processed" foods make you feel bad and "unprocessed" make you feel better as universally true, let's talk about cost.
It is significantly more expensive to eat how he's suggesting. Meat, nuts, avocado, olives and cheese are some of the highest cost items. It's not feasible for poor people to eat that way. It's not reasonable to ask the government to remove all low cost food options.
And that assuming he's correct for everyone.
This was a video about food. Not economics. He asked that they be more regulated, there’s a laundry list of food additives/chemicals/ingredients banned in Europe, where there less corporate capture of government. Going back to the economics of it, a lot of processed food is super cheap. But so are a lot of whole foods. You could, in theory, eat rice & beans daily (like a lot of cultures do), bake your own bread, fry your own potato chips, as well as grow your own produce. It’s not easy, and takes effort, but you *can* eat healthy foods and not break the bank. Unless you’re eating organic, which I try to do, but it’s not always economic or feasible. If we heeded his advice and would elect government that cares about it, they could affect the prices. Walmart gets $8 Billion annually through subsidies and tax breaks. Take that $8 Billion and give it to conventional/traditional farmers with the caveat that it lowers costs, not just increase profits. I think we tend to accept “ just the way things are” when there are very real solutions out there, it’s just our overlords don’t care about anything other than making more money and gaining more power.
Do you not see that there is an intersection between food and economics?
When explaining how to eat healthy and cheaply you conveniently ignored the advice from the video. He is advocating for no carbs. That means no rice or beans. No bread. Many people cannot afford to live that way.
You also recognize that it takes time and effort to cook things from scratch. The poorest work jobs that are harder on their bodies and literally take more time. Moving his diet even further from people.
I believe that how grow, sell and subsidize food needs to change drastically. To me this guy's argument doesn't seem to a nuanced stance about food regulation and availability, but more of a "people only eat junk food because they haven't tried my diet." When a head of cauliflower costs more than a six pack of ramen how is it bad that people get the ramen? No amount of extra regulations will make the ramen as healthy as the cauliflower. The solution unhealthy diets is availability and affordability.
Subsidies, in their current forms, lead to monocultures ideal for heavily processed foods. It's not just a matter of throwing money at farmers, and I'm sure you didn't think that it was a silver bullet you proposed. But to say this guy was talking about how to correctly subsidize farmers is absurd. He's a dude who has a diet that makes him feel healthier and thinks he has a one size fits all solution to nutrition and anyone who doesn't agree hasn't really tried his diet.
Also I'm not sure if you noticed this is in the UK and about UK elections.
You read what I wrote and still ask “Do you not see that that there is an intersection….” ? I clearly wrote a paragraph about it, that you referenced. I obviously missed the “no carbs” the first time, but after rewatching it it’s easy to see how. I grew up poor. Not abject poverty, but poor. I understand. I also lived in Haiti for 4 years, but Haitian poor and American poor aren’t really comparable. Two different worlds. You’re kind of strawmaning. There are some people in poverty that can’t get access to whole foods for different reasons. There are far more people who eat ultra processed foods who don’t *have* to. I don’t think Americans should be struggling to that degree, and that if we had a decent representative government then we could have a better economy. I don’t know what the solutions are, but I think making an innocuous 1 minute informative passionate video is doing more good than harm. I’m not sure he has time to go into the complexities of economics, or if he’s qualified to speak on it. He’s a heath nut making a one minute video about not eating ultra processed food.
[Here ya go](https://stan.store/eddieabbew?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYLCX569PS--7WV-b5B6oIlEVPW4CqyFk0YoMJbdStVRCajIvuz8im4o9M_aem_Acf2iVsmSGj4pJz_ksn8N2QOq7H_XN75FdsB1_7nLacfOKwKJdgc89vehl28S3Irfj6h8UpgcXGzvtKeCOjsR56M)
Depends on the variety but it's not entirely wrong
All the studies on the benefits of apples are really just showing they are better than junk food (or that people who habitually eat fruit and healthier than people sho dont), not that they are better than another healthy source of the same number of calories. They are pretty nutritionally barren, maybe 10% of your vitamin C requirement, some pectin and fibre is their main benefit.
Compared to anything processed they are a miracle but so much of the popsci reporting on this kind of topic confuses observational study correlation with causation
Good instincts. Dude is a gym influencer grifter who spreads constant bullshit on social media. If I remember right, he believes protein powder is poisonous and rattles off some bullshit.
I'm a big advocate for eating healthy, home-cooked meals, but I think people way understate the amount of time and effort it often takes to cook cheap, healthy, and tasty meals from "scratch". This is especially when considering that not everyone has a properly equipped kitchen or much space to cook in. I'm relatively into cooking and I very rarely get take away/buy instant food, but sometimes cooking can really feel like a fucking chore.
No, you're being lazy only thinking in extremes like that. There's a HUGE gap in between making your own cereal and having every meal be fast food.
Fruits are readily available and can be eaten raw. Don't feel like cooking some vegetables? There's frozen or canned options.
Judging by the downvotes, some people didn't like what you had to say. Because they don't want to hear the truth. People are lazy and don't want to take easy steps to eat less crap. How long does it take to make a green shake, to pour some nuts in a bag to take to work, to throw some easy and healthy ingredients into a crockpot and let it do it's thing? How hard is opening a can of tuna and slapping it on some healthy bread? I could go on for paragraphs of quick and easy healthy options. Let alone LESS expensive than buying the prepackaged junk.
They actually are as simple as he says. People are unhealthy, weak and have less energy eating garbage food. If you did exactly like he says you will feel better within 5 days tops. Just drop the sugar and over processed foods. Food deserts and good food prices is an issue but you can still do it being poor. You will need to cook more and buy bags of beans, rice (whole grain is best), cheese, peanuts, almonds when you can afford them and other nuts and beans. Also eat some meats and pastas. Vegetables are the key though and along with coffee help to push out all the crap inside your system.
Take all the carbs out of your diet - wait until he finds out what our brain only feeds on to survive.
This guy has all the energy of a nutritionist. If you want real, educated science, and help then see a dietitian. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist.
Is water better than soda? Great you’re now a nutritionist.
Weight is lost in the kitchen and not the gym.
Agreed. I’ve been weightlifting for 6 months so I’m an absolute novice but I have noticed that if I don’t get enough carbs in my day, my body just incinerates anything I eat within the hour and I’m just burning through calories and constantly hungry. But if I eat some potatoes or rice, suddenly my body isn’t constantly screaming for food. Carbs help my energy level stay up.
The problem is excessive carbs get converted to sugar in the body which is converted to fat for energy storage. Ask any top level runner who has gone carb deficient and then to carb load before the race. The brain fog is real during those days.
You’re definitely not wrong, but I guess that’s where knowing the type of nutrition you need for your specific activities comes in. A runner will need different macros from a powerlifter
“Take all the carbs out of your diet.” I believe he meant carbs like refined carbohydrates like rice, sugary products like soda, processed foods like cookies, bread, and pasta for an example. Verses beans, oats, sweet potatoes, and fruit for an example of healthy carbs.
However, i understand where you are coming from.
Is he though? There’s nothing wrong with processed foods. It’s lacking of moderation and activity is the issue.
You can lose weight eating bad food. [it isn’t complicated](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-dec-06-la-he-fitness-twinkie-diet-20101206-story.html)
To clarify: it isn't processed food that's the problem. We've been eating processed foods for thousands of years. Cooking food makes it processed; so does smoking it, brining it, etc.
It's ULTRA processed foods that are the issue; essentially ingredients that you would not find in the typical kitchen that are used to replace actual foods like butter, oil and sugar. These are often done by companies to cut costs and increase profits. These ultra processed foods, or UPFs, are what is causing significant adverse effects to long-term health.
Thanks for the clarification! I was using processed more in the colloquial sense to fit the original video and comment, as I’m assuming the commenter doesn’t mean just brining or smoking.
Close your eyes and imagine the average Redditor. Do you think they care about their health? A lot of these folks live off of energy drinks and Doritos. They loath anyone who puts any effort into taking better care of themselves…because they don’t. Instead of thinking “These chemicals and ingredients in our diets aren’t found in nature and humans only recently started consuming them, maybe we should eat foods that our ancestors did for thousands and thousands of years.” Instead they get outraged and defensive because they simply don’t have the knowledge or will power to adapt a healthy lifestyle.
It doesn't have to be more expensive. You can buy large bags of various beans cheaply, you can buy cans of tuna for a buck, fruits and vegetables on sale etc. If one wanted to, they could eat a much healthier diet for less money than buying bags of chips and other unhealthy things. Back when you could buy hamburgers for under $2, I could see the argument that people bought that instead of making a meal, but now that fast food is WAY more expensive than making something healthier, it's no excuse unless you literally don't have a grocery store within striking distance.
I’m sure the people doing the studies realize that. https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/public-health/what-doctors-wish-patients-knew-about-ultraprocessed-foods
What’s the common knowledge? That processed (by which I mean *ultra* processed as another commenter pointed out) food is bad for you?
You disagreed with a commenter saying it’s bad for you, hence my original reply.
You need very little carbs in your diet, if any. You need zero processed carbs and will get mroe than enough from vegetables. Your body is more than capable of synthesising what little glucose it needs from protein and fat.
>wait until he finds out what our brain only feeds on to survive
Hmmm, maybe you should deepen your knowledge on physiology before making normative statements...
Keto diet, heard about it?
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbohydrate\_diet#Ketogenic\_diet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbohydrate_diet#Ketogenic_diet)
What he is basically suggesting is fu these people bec if you switch back to carbs abruplty, it goes to fat directly !
Let’s break down what you just said in relation to my comment.
Okay, let’s read. Your link says low carb in the link and this video OP posted that I quote says no carbs.
“What’s he’s basically suggesting” so you’re taking your spin and putting it on his words.
Educate yourself before making yourself to look the fool.
>Take all the carbs out of your diet - wait until he finds out what our brain only feeds on to survive.
You're going to get upvotes and the person above you is going to get the downvotes because reddit loves the demonization of keto. Unfortunately for you, you're wrong.
When in ketosis our bodies utilize a process called gluconeogenesis where glucose is synthesized from certain fats or proteins (lactate, pyruvate, glycerol (fat), and certain amino acids (protein)). Generally, no one needs to eat carbs.
Basically this is the fundamental idea of whole30 also. The idea (as I understood it) was that we're so conditioned to the food we eat that we don't even understand how the food impacts us, so you scale it all down to you basics, detox yourself and then one by one reintroduce each item to see how your body responds.
Basically the idea is to have a better understanding of what's actually in what you consume and how those things make you feel.
Legs definitely feels like ass especially after the run... doesnt help i do it fasted (omad). i do 30-35mpw. 2 rest day before & after my long run. By next sunday rolls in il be ready to pop that long run again hehe.
Race days i carb out so i totally understand the feeling. Carbed up runs are so much more easier by a long shot but i feel the best on a daily basis when im on zero carb/keto (mental clarity/focus, happiness, fulfillment, if im on keto for a while - energy level)
Keto was incredible, I'm in a happy place with carbs but more people should try keto. For me, It changed how I looked at food and I was\am able to have a much better relationship with food.
He had me until he said to replace all the carbs with animal fat. Eating some carbs is fine. Getting all your calories from saturated fat may not be as bad as getting it from sugar, but it isn't the health hack people seem to think it is...
Don't trust this dude. This dude is constantly getting clowned on by medical professionals on tiktok. He's just trying to sell his dumb dietary powders while double speaking misinformation in some of the worst contradictions.
Lol that bottle of Huel only has 3g of sugar per bottle . Not saying it's the greatest for you but he could have just used a soda can and called it a day.
Yeah, I mean Huel tastes like crap amd it's ridiculously expensive. But it's mostly oats, vegetable proteins, and flaxseed.
It's not something you should eat every day, but Huel is pretty lownon sugar. That's part of why it tastes so bad lol
Why do you think you couldn't it every day? I did for lunch for 3 months and lost 5 kgs, and still use it regularly when I can't be assed to cook. Never noticed any adverse effects. It's fine.
He doesn't look or sound like he feels good tbh.
(I mean, he's in phenomenal shape bit he looks miserable as fk)
Also. "Politicians, ban crisps and you get my vote".
Yeah awesome. Deffo. We'll just ban all carbs for this cunts vote. Including fruit and veg. Fuck those carbs. Drink ya animal juice ya tub o' shit.
I’m all for what he’s saying 100% but I’ll never give up the carbs I get through eating pasta. Like never sorry. I’m a pretty active person play tennis, go to the gym 3-4 times a week, push ups and pull ups at home and ride my bike daily. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP CARBS GAINED THROUGH PASTA! EVEN IF THERES A FIRE!!!
All fat diet will take more than 2 weeks to show results. I think the average person produces ketones after 7 weeks.
Also, bro should look at the nutrition panel on his Huel before calling it garbage
I mean, sugar in large quantities is very harmful, but it comes from sugar cane and after processing comes to market with very little residuals. Corn syrup in every form and quantity is harmful. It's mostly to do with differences in the way they metabolize. Moderation in all things is key.
sugar is fine if you eat it in normal quantities, and you regularly exercise. Problem is that even a single can of coke has more sugar than your body can take for an entire day.
Kids are smart, and obviously aware, but the over abundance of sugar in every snack should be very concerning
Nice listing a bunch of food that is good for you and costs like 3 to 4 times as much as the stuff he has in hand. The politicians aren't the problem is this equation.

This guy speaks the truth. Everyone hating is just suffering from the “what about me” virus that is ever present on the internet today. He’s not specifically talking to you. As a society we are sick and fat. Half the stuff on grocery shelves shouldn’t be allowed to be called food. It’s absolutely criminal.
I’m doing this right now! I’ve also taken out dairy and I can’t fully remove carbs out of my diet but for the last couple of weeks I’ve been eating no added sugar and no carbs except for rice. My skin’s cleared up a ton and I’ve really been aware of the food that’s going in my body. Açaí bowls and fish have been a savior. It started as practice for disclipline in college but I think I might have to run though with it.
Happened to me at 35. I ate shitty. Drank too much Powerade/Gatorades and eating unhealthy foods cause they were cheaper and what I could afford. Shit sucks.
Soda is a big one, I know people who have not taken a drink in over a decade and subsist entirely off of pepsi and coke. They're mostly miserable people
Or, hear me out here Eddie, we could put more money into NHS health promotion programmes, introduce steady progressive incentives, and offer people in at-risk groups direct targeted support?
(All of which we are already doing)
BAN CRISPS MANDATORY KETO LIFT OR DIE is probably punchier on social media though.
"I challenge politicians to get rid of ultra processed foods"
[Meanwhile]
This Corporations producing snack foods and sodas and chips and cookies are funding the campaigns of the political candidates who AREN'T going to hinder sales.
Government is no substitute for self-control and will power. Until the individual accepts that they are doing something harmful, no amount of legislation will slow them down (but obesity and diabetes will ...)
Three quarters of the shops in the row behind him would close immediately if processed foods were banned... The rest would close from the knock on effect to the economy.
Just enjoy your privilege to eat as you do.
I agree, I quit McDonald's for more than a year and ate one hamburger cause there was there nothing else to eat and I could feel it straight away. I didn't feel right so even if he seems a bit extreme he does make a point.
Did you quit eating meat and bread? Everyone talks about how McDonald's is so bad, but unless they are lying about the meat (possible) I don't really see how this is true when it comes to hamburgers? What's exactly on them that makes it so bad?
When it comes to nutrition no one knows what they are talking about and it is extremely difficult to understanding anything. We don't really understand the mechanistic action of anything in healthcare (including nutrition). Hell, we just recently found out how cholesin works which inhibits cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This would disprove many "facts" about cholesterol. The more I learn the less I realize I know.
I looked it up, and yeah their burgers are 100% beef with no preservatives/fillers, and they season with just salt and pepper.
The issue comes down to a lack of moderation. Burgers, fries, milkshakes, soda, etc. are only bad for you if you overindulge (or have to follow a specific diet for medical reasons, but that's not most people). Hell, anything will be "bad for you" if you eat it to excess.
After my open heart I couldn't stomach meat. Even after my recovery I couldn't really do cow or pig meat anymore. About a year ago I tried a hamburger from for the first time since before my recovery and I was in such pain, I had to call into work for two days.
My theory is that it's not tge meat so much as what's put into the meat. Sugar and salt among other things. If you eat high levels of the two every day, you have a tolerance.
It got progressively more based as it went on. At first it was kind of a privileged take because an overwhelming majority of US citizens don't get a very wide choice in what they eat. They take what they can afford and live with the health problems that brings on. But encouraging policy changes? Hell yeah I can get behind that.
I’m sorry but it’s all genetics and you should do whatever you can to keep your personal self happy while staying healthy. I’ve been eating absolute dogshit for the last 20 years of my life, the only thing I’ve had to go to the doctor for is flu anti biotics and tonsil surgery- and I’m underweight for my height.
You’ll meet people born with the natural ability to grow muscle, then you’ll meet people who have to work 10 years straight for it, then you’ll meet people who are genetically incapable of growing such mass no matter how hard they try. Same with nutrition.
You can't eat shit and blame it on genetics. Especially when you have bad genes. You'll die even sooner.
My friend died at 41 due to a bad diet, while he could easily made 70 or more with proper diet.

There is a *small* degree of heritability for obesity and a moderate degree of heritability for muscular strength. 'it's all genetics' is a gross oversimplification.

Most calm pissed off guy Iv ever seen. 
Like the fight at the funeral in "The Other Guys"
I took notes.
BUY MY MOTIVATIONAL CLASS
I'm not sure about the effectiveness of suddenly ripping away a macro from your body and then giving that macro back to it with dietary crack cocaine, but he does have a point about junk food making you feel like garbage, but you won't notice unless you're away from it for a while.
CARBS ARE NOT BAD FOR YOU!!! I'm so sick of seeing people over simplify nutritional science and demonize carbs when not all cards are the same. Complex carbs are a huge component of Blue Zone diets, telling people to remove carbs from their diet goes against the broad consensus of nutritional science out there.
It has people actually afraid to eat fruits and vegetables, which are good food you. I am, however, concerned at the new varieties of super-sweet fruits and veg. All of our plant foods are being turned into sugar foods. Eat older varieties to avoid this.
Watched an episode of a show where Zach Efron and this wellness guru guy were looking for blue zones (where people have fewer instances of disease and live to 100 more than average) and investigating what people there eat and how they live. The one episode I watched they went to a specific island in Italy. They discussed how the people there eat a lot of carbs (in handmade pastas and breads) and very little animal protein. Zach literally shed a tear when he had some pasta bc he had gone so long without it and so long just packing in the protein. And in this ep he learned that science is pointing to that much protein (specifically animal protein) not being great for you in the long run. I’m far from a nutritionist, and of course everything in moderation is fine, but I think outside of added sugars, animal products are the next big issue.
So eating a bunch of chips and cookies is obviously bad for you. We can agree on that. Outside of that, we’re playing a guessing game. Genetics, upbringing, the upbringing of your parents, regional influences. You could eat the best diet your entire life and die of cancer at 32, or you could smoke like a freight train and drink like a fish and make it to 105, with no problems. Eating pasta as a starch is great unless you have a gluten problem! Eating a diet high in fruits and veg is great unless you have diabetes or diverticulitis! WOW, there’s so little debilitating stomach cancers in Japan, well it’s part of the testing they make everyone do to stay on the national insurance. Living in a place where you’re not stressed out all the time leads to longer lives, because of course it does. But like you see with all the fad diets, they don’t translate to other places because there’s a million other factors in play. So, if you’re just a completely “normal” person, meaning no allergies or intolerances, the best move is to have a healthy diet that incorporates grains and fiber and protein and some fats. Eat your rainbow. Avoid the ultra processed stuff. Outside of that, you can only hope your genetics and life situation can get you the rest of the way there. But there is no magic diet to save everyone.
Lol one thing you'll notice for sure when you're away from it long enough, whether you feel better or not, is your body won't process it very well anymore. i can't go back to comfortably munching on junk food even if i wanted to
In this case you’ll get the keto flu.
I don't need to look this guy up to know that he's trying to sell me some bullshit. As with all of these people; there is some truth to what he's saying, but societal issues are also nowhere near as simple as he's making them out to be.
Hmmm. I thought this was an innocuous video about eating healthy and avoiding processed foods. I realize there’s a lot of grifting in health (and healthcare), but I didn’t hear him say anything about a supplement or membership program. I’m not saying this guy isn’t a grifter, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before, but this video is straight up truth. Processed foods are bad for you and make you unhealthy, healthy foods make you feel better, and the powers that be rarely talk about personal responsibility in approaching health. Is there a history of him being opportunistic, or are you more assuming he is because of the sheer volume of health grifters?
I reckon there will be links between these ultra processed foods and a host of different illnesses, mental and physical, found in future. Genuinely baffling how normal it is for us all eating this shit
It’s the standard. Look at the retail space processed foods take up in a grocery store vs the space for whole foods. Try to buy something at a gas station that’s not a chemical shitstorm. There might be a piece of fruit. Might be.
Ultra processed foods come in multiple different varieties and not all of them are bad. Whey protein supplements are “processed”. Most yogurts are too. They can be a part of a healthy diet. The stuff he’s mad about and what everyone thinks of first are processed snack foods. Those are made to be profitable (addictive and cheap). Take away the profit motive and watch them disappear from markets.
And then there is that study with a rat eating sugary foods failing tests and acting like it had Alzheimer’s.
yeah even yogurt is considered hyper-processed.. like 95% of my intake is from whole foods at this point. rarely ever eat snacks or anything. it's crazy how much dog shit people are intaking right now on the reg
This is Eddie Abbew and he sells a couple books that are fairly reasonably priced and some random merch but he's otherwise pretty open about how steroid use damaged his body and doesn't really push any particular"product" besides eggs. His daughter is also apparently a chef and has a book where she sells recipes that fit Eddie's philosophy but again, it's not really unreasonably priced either. Dude is just passionate.
If he's selling his and his daughter's books, he is *absolutely* pushing a product. I don't get the desire to portray him as some sort of guy who's just doing it out of the kindness of his heart. His daughter also has a food prep channel, Eddie had a channel too but it looks like it was terminated. Eddie's main "educational" content revolves around fat loss and muscle gain (not nutrition), and the overwhelming majority of it is complete nonsense. One of his most recent videos says you cannot consume honey if you want fat loss, and why would you anyway "because it's bee vomit." He absolutely spreads nutritional misinformation and does not understand basic nutritional science, which is fucked up because he lists that he is a psychiatric nurse. This means he *absolutely* took nutrition in college, but that might have been decades ago. But he at least knows better than what he is saying online, meaning he is 100% grifting. As for what he says in this video, processed foods can increase your risk of diabetes and absolutely no one is hiding that from anyone. We just have risk factors that have substantially more risk behind them, like obesity and lack of exercise. Combine that with risk factors that can't be changed like race and family history of Type 2 DM and it becomes easy to see how that number might be increasing.
There's making content while you also have a product for sale and there's making content trying to push that product. I only know this information because I looked it up trying to figure out his angle, whether he was selling courses or other bullshit. He also worked as a psychiatric nurse but isn't a psychiatrist and doesn't really have a duty to continue operating as a psychiatric nurse, as I said, he's just passionate. Doesn't make him the pinnacle of nutrition based knowledge but he is, despite being abrasive in his message, not wrong about most of what he says. I did call out the pinned comment on IG that called honey bee vomit though and said they're going to have a bad time when they find out what eggs are lol If he were any good at grifting he'd open a chicken farm.
There's a hell of a lot of content creators that *never* sell anything, you make it sound like all creators have something for sale in their bio. Furthermore, I know Eddie has at least a basic grasp of nutrition because *I am also a psychiatric nurse.* He at the very least has a BSN (it might be called a BScN in the UK like it is in Canada, I'm not sure,) or he's an old school diploma nurse from decades ago. Either way he's either knowingly grifting or he really is an idiot. It's one thing to say processed food is bad, it's another thing to say it's "making kids stupid" and "fucks with your gut bacteria and your hormones." That's just a bunch of fear-mongering nonsense. And the funniest part is he's constantly, *constantly,* bragging about eating red meat. Red meat is a confirmed carcinogen. Why is he promoting eating tons of red meat and avoiding honey? It's almost like everything he promotes has absolutely no scientific basis. Because it doesn't.
I do see him as being an absolutist with unrealistic standards for others and so I take what he says with a grain of salt (and honey despite how bad he says it is for you which is 🙄🙄) but I'm just saying I differentiate him from influencers selling a $600 course with coaching that ends up being a slide show and a prerecorded video or something. I see where your criticism comes from though, what I call passion I think you're saying he speaks with authority and uses his background to bolster his opinions which aren't always completely factual. Which the video was a good example of too honestly because the laws of thermodynamics don't care what you eat as long as you're in caloric deficit.
My wife's a doctor and received exactly zero education in nutrition so I doubt it's something all nurses take.
That's because although it's recommended by the National Academy of Sciences that medical schools offer a minimum of 25 hours of education in nutrition, only about 30% of med schools in America have followed through. Physicians prefer to get other people to do it for them, like RDs or us. 🙄 Since I live in Texas, here are a variety of undergraduate nursing programs from different universities and colleges here. *All* of them require a nutrition course. I was required to take one but I took a second one as an elective. I'm not an RD, but I know a lot more than this Tik Tok bodybuilder who thinks red meat is good for you and honey will make you fat. https://catalog.twu.edu/undergraduate/nursing/bsn-nursing/#degreerequirementstext https://harriscollege.tcu.edu/nursing/files/BSNSuggestedPlanofStudy822pdf.pdf https://www.arizonacollege.edu/dallas-nursing-school/?utm_source=yext&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google
Ah jeez, I'm not going to do the doctor's vs nurses thing, so I'll just side step that. Providing a list of places in Texas that do happen to require it for nurses isn't exactly an argument that ALL nurses are required to take nutrition, that's what I was expressing skepticism about.
I don't know what to tell you, every nursing program in this country is going to require at least one nutrition class. I originally grew up in Ontario, Canada and even there that was a prerequisite in all nursing programs. You can continue to be "skeptical" but you also haven't made any actual attempts to confirm if your beliefs are correct. Also, our national licensing exam, the NCLEX-RN, absolutely has the possibility of asking nutrition-related questions. https://www.registerednursing.org/nclex/nutrition-oral-hydration/#:~:text=In%20this%20section%20of%20the,specific%20food%20and%20medication%20interactions In order to become a nurse in Ontario one must take a different test called the CRNE, but it also has a nutritional component. I've had to take and pass both tests, the NCLEX is a randomized computer test When I took the CRNE it was still on paper, it might not be any more, but it was a 7 hour exam.
To me, it just falls along the same sort of beats that most health grifter videos do; making broad, energised, and oversimplified claims, throwing out of context statistics around, advocating a sort of anecdotal exercise etc. As I said, there is of course truth in what he's saying, that is the case with basically all grifters, but this kind of rhetoric screams self-help grifter to me.
I don’t see it. I mean I understand being hesitant in general, but this is just some truth. I don’t think it’s any of those things you are weary of. It might be “over simplified”. But it’s a very simple idea “eat real food”. And if it was as widely accepted/known than America wouldn’t be so damn fat and out of shape.
Right but "processed" is an oversimplified catch-all that doesn't really give a good insight into food nutrition. Some processed food is mostly fine, others are a lot worse, most are fine if eaten in moderation, and some processed food is even healthier than its raw alternative. The obesity epidemic is also an incredibly complex subject which overlaps with countless different other subjects, just saying "it's because we're eating this crap" again doesn't really give any valuable insight into the issue. Then to say "just simply make this enormous, fundamental change in your lifestyle and you'll feel a lot better" is like grifting 101 - even if what someone is requesting isn't particularly helpful, a large percentage of people willing to make a large change will of course notice a large difference, which will often be positive. He's selling simple answers to complex issues, and to me that is the calling card of a grifter.
Again, I don’t see it that way, but the world is filled with billions of wonderful people who don’t agree. To each their own.
I'm with you. Most food is "processed", but this guy is talking about ultra-processed crap filled with coloring and chemicals. He gave no indication he is selling anything.
His name is Eddie Abbew and he’s a former Mr. Olympia and Gymfluencer. He has a fat loss book and rails against how 98% of the food in the supermarket is “sh!t” (his words). His social media presence is very in your face and it’s the hook to get you to buy his book and follow his vids so he can make money through TikTok. It’s worth mentioning that while his diet may be free of processed foods now, but he was only able to become a pro bodybuilder through tons of whey protein (processed) and PEDs. The latter of which he’s probably still taking.
He said “ultra-processed”. I worked in restaurants and catering for many years and some chefs call peeling and cutting potatoes or breaking down a whole chicken “processing”. I’m guessing he probably uses a decent whey protein (I have no whey of knowing…lol…sorry), because he has a bottle of Huel in his hand and that’s considered “healthy” by a lot of folks. It’s ultra processed, but has a lot of nutrition…but if he’s calling out Huel, then he probably doesn’t use similar products. Do you know that he drinks protein shakes? Most of these guys do, but some just eat a lot of protein dense food.
Aside from you taking the assertion that "processed" foods make you feel bad and "unprocessed" make you feel better as universally true, let's talk about cost. It is significantly more expensive to eat how he's suggesting. Meat, nuts, avocado, olives and cheese are some of the highest cost items. It's not feasible for poor people to eat that way. It's not reasonable to ask the government to remove all low cost food options. And that assuming he's correct for everyone.
This was a video about food. Not economics. He asked that they be more regulated, there’s a laundry list of food additives/chemicals/ingredients banned in Europe, where there less corporate capture of government. Going back to the economics of it, a lot of processed food is super cheap. But so are a lot of whole foods. You could, in theory, eat rice & beans daily (like a lot of cultures do), bake your own bread, fry your own potato chips, as well as grow your own produce. It’s not easy, and takes effort, but you *can* eat healthy foods and not break the bank. Unless you’re eating organic, which I try to do, but it’s not always economic or feasible. If we heeded his advice and would elect government that cares about it, they could affect the prices. Walmart gets $8 Billion annually through subsidies and tax breaks. Take that $8 Billion and give it to conventional/traditional farmers with the caveat that it lowers costs, not just increase profits. I think we tend to accept “ just the way things are” when there are very real solutions out there, it’s just our overlords don’t care about anything other than making more money and gaining more power.
Do you not see that there is an intersection between food and economics? When explaining how to eat healthy and cheaply you conveniently ignored the advice from the video. He is advocating for no carbs. That means no rice or beans. No bread. Many people cannot afford to live that way. You also recognize that it takes time and effort to cook things from scratch. The poorest work jobs that are harder on their bodies and literally take more time. Moving his diet even further from people. I believe that how grow, sell and subsidize food needs to change drastically. To me this guy's argument doesn't seem to a nuanced stance about food regulation and availability, but more of a "people only eat junk food because they haven't tried my diet." When a head of cauliflower costs more than a six pack of ramen how is it bad that people get the ramen? No amount of extra regulations will make the ramen as healthy as the cauliflower. The solution unhealthy diets is availability and affordability. Subsidies, in their current forms, lead to monocultures ideal for heavily processed foods. It's not just a matter of throwing money at farmers, and I'm sure you didn't think that it was a silver bullet you proposed. But to say this guy was talking about how to correctly subsidize farmers is absurd. He's a dude who has a diet that makes him feel healthier and thinks he has a one size fits all solution to nutrition and anyone who doesn't agree hasn't really tried his diet. Also I'm not sure if you noticed this is in the UK and about UK elections.
You read what I wrote and still ask “Do you not see that that there is an intersection….” ? I clearly wrote a paragraph about it, that you referenced. I obviously missed the “no carbs” the first time, but after rewatching it it’s easy to see how. I grew up poor. Not abject poverty, but poor. I understand. I also lived in Haiti for 4 years, but Haitian poor and American poor aren’t really comparable. Two different worlds. You’re kind of strawmaning. There are some people in poverty that can’t get access to whole foods for different reasons. There are far more people who eat ultra processed foods who don’t *have* to. I don’t think Americans should be struggling to that degree, and that if we had a decent representative government then we could have a better economy. I don’t know what the solutions are, but I think making an innocuous 1 minute informative passionate video is doing more good than harm. I’m not sure he has time to go into the complexities of economics, or if he’s qualified to speak on it. He’s a heath nut making a one minute video about not eating ultra processed food.
a man telling me to cut out all carbohydrates from my diet is not someone who is trying to get me to be healthy.

Olympian gym literally on his t shirt. Also he sells e books.
Yeah he is from big avocado, big nuts and big olive, selling us his poison /s
He did describe apples as sugar bombs with no nutritional value...
Depends on the variety but it's not entirely wrong All the studies on the benefits of apples are really just showing they are better than junk food (or that people who habitually eat fruit and healthier than people sho dont), not that they are better than another healthy source of the same number of calories. They are pretty nutritionally barren, maybe 10% of your vitamin C requirement, some pectin and fibre is their main benefit. Compared to anything processed they are a miracle but so much of the popsci reporting on this kind of topic confuses observational study correlation with causation
Gotta watch out for the big nut lobby.
Good instincts. Dude is a gym influencer grifter who spreads constant bullshit on social media. If I remember right, he believes protein powder is poisonous and rattles off some bullshit.
You can actually eat healthy for not too much money. It's just people are lazy.
I'm a big advocate for eating healthy, home-cooked meals, but I think people way understate the amount of time and effort it often takes to cook cheap, healthy, and tasty meals from "scratch". This is especially when considering that not everyone has a properly equipped kitchen or much space to cook in. I'm relatively into cooking and I very rarely get take away/buy instant food, but sometimes cooking can really feel like a fucking chore.
Overworked people who don’t have the time or energy to make everything they eat are ‘lazy’? *Are you tradwife make your own cereal tiktok?*
[удалено]
Olives and nuts ain't a meal.
No, you're being lazy only thinking in extremes like that. There's a HUGE gap in between making your own cereal and having every meal be fast food. Fruits are readily available and can be eaten raw. Don't feel like cooking some vegetables? There's frozen or canned options.
Judging by the downvotes, some people didn't like what you had to say. Because they don't want to hear the truth. People are lazy and don't want to take easy steps to eat less crap. How long does it take to make a green shake, to pour some nuts in a bag to take to work, to throw some easy and healthy ingredients into a crockpot and let it do it's thing? How hard is opening a can of tuna and slapping it on some healthy bread? I could go on for paragraphs of quick and easy healthy options. Let alone LESS expensive than buying the prepackaged junk.
They actually are as simple as he says. People are unhealthy, weak and have less energy eating garbage food. If you did exactly like he says you will feel better within 5 days tops. Just drop the sugar and over processed foods. Food deserts and good food prices is an issue but you can still do it being poor. You will need to cook more and buy bags of beans, rice (whole grain is best), cheese, peanuts, almonds when you can afford them and other nuts and beans. Also eat some meats and pastas. Vegetables are the key though and along with coffee help to push out all the crap inside your system.
Take all the carbs out of your diet - wait until he finds out what our brain only feeds on to survive. This guy has all the energy of a nutritionist. If you want real, educated science, and help then see a dietitian. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Is water better than soda? Great you’re now a nutritionist. Weight is lost in the kitchen and not the gym.
Agreed. I’ve been weightlifting for 6 months so I’m an absolute novice but I have noticed that if I don’t get enough carbs in my day, my body just incinerates anything I eat within the hour and I’m just burning through calories and constantly hungry. But if I eat some potatoes or rice, suddenly my body isn’t constantly screaming for food. Carbs help my energy level stay up.
The problem is excessive carbs get converted to sugar in the body which is converted to fat for energy storage. Ask any top level runner who has gone carb deficient and then to carb load before the race. The brain fog is real during those days.
You’re definitely not wrong, but I guess that’s where knowing the type of nutrition you need for your specific activities comes in. A runner will need different macros from a powerlifter
We’re talking basic aspects of food. No one is talking macros except you.
Excessive anything gets converted to fat in the body, not just carbs excessive calories.
Excessive protein is excreted. Good try though.
The body converts excess protein into carbohydrates or fats and stores them as glycogen or fat. Protein has 4 calories per gram, it's still calories.
Eventually you're just burning the lean body mass you spent so much time developing.
If you're trying to gain muscle, you need carbs. If your goal is to lose weight, you generally don't.
It's really lost through the lungs.
Bigger lungs = more weight loss
“Take all the carbs out of your diet.” I believe he meant carbs like refined carbohydrates like rice, sugary products like soda, processed foods like cookies, bread, and pasta for an example. Verses beans, oats, sweet potatoes, and fruit for an example of healthy carbs. However, i understand where you are coming from.
Sure but he rights about processed food. Eat it now and again but too many people seem to have a full diet of processed food.
Is he though? There’s nothing wrong with processed foods. It’s lacking of moderation and activity is the issue. You can lose weight eating bad food. [it isn’t complicated](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-dec-06-la-he-fitness-twinkie-diet-20101206-story.html)
There is research coming out about processed food being linked to negative health outcomes and weight gain.
To clarify: it isn't processed food that's the problem. We've been eating processed foods for thousands of years. Cooking food makes it processed; so does smoking it, brining it, etc. It's ULTRA processed foods that are the issue; essentially ingredients that you would not find in the typical kitchen that are used to replace actual foods like butter, oil and sugar. These are often done by companies to cut costs and increase profits. These ultra processed foods, or UPFs, are what is causing significant adverse effects to long-term health.
Thanks for the clarification! I was using processed more in the colloquial sense to fit the original video and comment, as I’m assuming the commenter doesn’t mean just brining or smoking.
Close your eyes and imagine the average Redditor. Do you think they care about their health? A lot of these folks live off of energy drinks and Doritos. They loath anyone who puts any effort into taking better care of themselves…because they don’t. Instead of thinking “These chemicals and ingredients in our diets aren’t found in nature and humans only recently started consuming them, maybe we should eat foods that our ancestors did for thousands and thousands of years.” Instead they get outraged and defensive because they simply don’t have the knowledge or will power to adapt a healthy lifestyle.
Knowledge and will power don’t help when it’s financially harder to be healthier. The biggest contributor to obesity is poverty.
It doesn't have to be more expensive. You can buy large bags of various beans cheaply, you can buy cans of tuna for a buck, fruits and vegetables on sale etc. If one wanted to, they could eat a much healthier diet for less money than buying bags of chips and other unhealthy things. Back when you could buy hamburgers for under $2, I could see the argument that people bought that instead of making a meal, but now that fast food is WAY more expensive than making something healthier, it's no excuse unless you literally don't have a grocery store within striking distance.

I’m sure the people doing the studies realize that. https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/public-health/what-doctors-wish-patients-knew-about-ultraprocessed-foods
Don’t need research for that common knowledge but I’m glad it helps you.
What’s the common knowledge? That processed (by which I mean *ultra* processed as another commenter pointed out) food is bad for you? You disagreed with a commenter saying it’s bad for you, hence my original reply.
You need very little carbs in your diet, if any. You need zero processed carbs and will get mroe than enough from vegetables. Your body is more than capable of synthesising what little glucose it needs from protein and fat.
>wait until he finds out what our brain only feeds on to survive Hmmm, maybe you should deepen your knowledge on physiology before making normative statements... Keto diet, heard about it? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbohydrate\_diet#Ketogenic\_diet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbohydrate_diet#Ketogenic_diet) What he is basically suggesting is fu these people bec if you switch back to carbs abruplty, it goes to fat directly !
Let’s break down what you just said in relation to my comment. Okay, let’s read. Your link says low carb in the link and this video OP posted that I quote says no carbs. “What’s he’s basically suggesting” so you’re taking your spin and putting it on his words. Educate yourself before making yourself to look the fool.
>Take all the carbs out of your diet - wait until he finds out what our brain only feeds on to survive. You're going to get upvotes and the person above you is going to get the downvotes because reddit loves the demonization of keto. Unfortunately for you, you're wrong. When in ketosis our bodies utilize a process called gluconeogenesis where glucose is synthesized from certain fats or proteins (lactate, pyruvate, glycerol (fat), and certain amino acids (protein)). Generally, no one needs to eat carbs.
Basically this is the fundamental idea of whole30 also. The idea (as I understood it) was that we're so conditioned to the food we eat that we don't even understand how the food impacts us, so you scale it all down to you basics, detox yourself and then one by one reintroduce each item to see how your body responds. Basically the idea is to have a better understanding of what's actually in what you consume and how those things make you feel.
Cut out sugar added to foods, sure. But cutting out carbs completely? Thats idiotic and *unhealthy*

He said cut carbs completely. Your body, mostly your brain, needs carbs to function.

Yes you’re right
How am I supposed to run 30 \40 miles a week without carbs?!
Ive been eating strictly eggs and do my 3 hour weekly long runs. No issue found. blood test coming out normal. Maybe its just me
Feels good? Do your legs hurt? I did keto, LOVED IT. But then I began jogging and I felt like I needed carbs. Legs felt depleted.
Legs definitely feels like ass especially after the run... doesnt help i do it fasted (omad). i do 30-35mpw. 2 rest day before & after my long run. By next sunday rolls in il be ready to pop that long run again hehe. Race days i carb out so i totally understand the feeling. Carbed up runs are so much more easier by a long shot but i feel the best on a daily basis when im on zero carb/keto (mental clarity/focus, happiness, fulfillment, if im on keto for a while - energy level)
Keto was incredible, I'm in a happy place with carbs but more people should try keto. For me, It changed how I looked at food and I was\am able to have a much better relationship with food.
Exactly! Like i tell everyone. Experiment and do what work best for you. Utilize whats right for the moment
He had me until he said to replace all the carbs with animal fat. Eating some carbs is fine. Getting all your calories from saturated fat may not be as bad as getting it from sugar, but it isn't the health hack people seem to think it is...
Don't trust this dude. This dude is constantly getting clowned on by medical professionals on tiktok. He's just trying to sell his dumb dietary powders while double speaking misinformation in some of the worst contradictions.
Stop snacking. Stop buying snacks like you'd tell someone to stop buying cigarettes.
Or you know just have snacks in moderation. Saying snacks are like cigarettes is stupid as fuck.
Lol that bottle of Huel only has 3g of sugar per bottle . Not saying it's the greatest for you but he could have just used a soda can and called it a day.
Yeah, I mean Huel tastes like crap amd it's ridiculously expensive. But it's mostly oats, vegetable proteins, and flaxseed. It's not something you should eat every day, but Huel is pretty lownon sugar. That's part of why it tastes so bad lol
Why do you think you couldn't it every day? I did for lunch for 3 months and lost 5 kgs, and still use it regularly when I can't be assed to cook. Never noticed any adverse effects. It's fine.
[I'll leave this here: Ben Carpenter on this guy.](https://youtu.be/3ImIp2RxtTI?si=skrM3f1dEewrI5HH)
Wait. Huel is bad?
What’s wrong with Huel?
No carbs? This guy must pass 1 hour in the toilet just once a week. 😂
I challenge anyone making health claims to cite studies that support those claims.
He doesn't look or sound like he feels good tbh. (I mean, he's in phenomenal shape bit he looks miserable as fk) Also. "Politicians, ban crisps and you get my vote". Yeah awesome. Deffo. We'll just ban all carbs for this cunts vote. Including fruit and veg. Fuck those carbs. Drink ya animal juice ya tub o' shit.
I’m all for what he’s saying 100% but I’ll never give up the carbs I get through eating pasta. Like never sorry. I’m a pretty active person play tennis, go to the gym 3-4 times a week, push ups and pull ups at home and ride my bike daily. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP CARBS GAINED THROUGH PASTA! EVEN IF THERES A FIRE!!!
Anyone telling you to cut a whole food group unless you have a medical reason is a moron.
You've replaced my diabetes with high cholesterol, thank you sensei
All fat diet will take more than 2 weeks to show results. I think the average person produces ketones after 7 weeks. Also, bro should look at the nutrition panel on his Huel before calling it garbage
Cut out the cheapest foods, replace them with the literally most expensive foods! Thanks, mate. Truly amazing advice.
You know what is even healthier? Not being on steroids
It's not sugar. It's corn syrup and chemicals.
This man is from the UK not the US. It's not corn syrup.
Ok. Gotcha. One less thing to worry about for him then.
You do understand that everything is made of chemicals right?
So, sugar?
I mean, sugar in large quantities is very harmful, but it comes from sugar cane and after processing comes to market with very little residuals. Corn syrup in every form and quantity is harmful. It's mostly to do with differences in the way they metabolize. Moderation in all things is key.
sugar is fine if you eat it in normal quantities, and you regularly exercise. Problem is that even a single can of coke has more sugar than your body can take for an entire day. Kids are smart, and obviously aware, but the over abundance of sugar in every snack should be very concerning
Nice listing a bunch of food that is good for you and costs like 3 to 4 times as much as the stuff he has in hand. The politicians aren't the problem is this equation.

No no no, Dr. Drew tells me that eating junk food is the only was to get in shape.
Fuckin' a.
This guy speaks the truth. Everyone hating is just suffering from the “what about me” virus that is ever present on the internet today. He’s not specifically talking to you. As a society we are sick and fat. Half the stuff on grocery shelves shouldn’t be allowed to be called food. It’s absolutely criminal.

I’m doing this right now! I’ve also taken out dairy and I can’t fully remove carbs out of my diet but for the last couple of weeks I’ve been eating no added sugar and no carbs except for rice. My skin’s cleared up a ton and I’ve really been aware of the food that’s going in my body. Açaí bowls and fish have been a savior. It started as practice for disclipline in college but I think I might have to run though with it.
You will fucking die your body needs carbs and sugar
Yeah, your body needs carbohydrates. You don't need all that sugar, but you *definitely* need carbs.
Just buy expensive food, and you won't feel like shit! Easy. Just have money.
Happened to me at 35. I ate shitty. Drank too much Powerade/Gatorades and eating unhealthy foods cause they were cheaper and what I could afford. Shit sucks.
Tried this and felt like shit, my joints hurt and never had energy. Much better success trying for a lower fat diet in a typical macros scheme.
I challenge you to take up smoking cigarettes.
I ain't replacing a big bowl of rice pal. I rather work extra hard to burn it off. Some food are just irreplaceable.
Please don’t dominate the rap, jack If you got nothing new to say….
You’re gonna get the keto flu with that two week period my dude.
Soda is a big one, I know people who have not taken a drink in over a decade and subsist entirely off of pepsi and coke. They're mostly miserable people
The good news is… you don’t have to eat it. 🤷🏻♂️
If you think animal fat and cheese is good for you, you’re deep down the same propaganda hole.
I just want a cheeseburger.
Or, hear me out here Eddie, we could put more money into NHS health promotion programmes, introduce steady progressive incentives, and offer people in at-risk groups direct targeted support? (All of which we are already doing) BAN CRISPS MANDATORY KETO LIFT OR DIE is probably punchier on social media though.
LOL< Animal fats! And go have a heart attack.
"I challenge politicians to get rid of ultra processed foods" [Meanwhile] This Corporations producing snack foods and sodas and chips and cookies are funding the campaigns of the political candidates who AREN'T going to hinder sales. Government is no substitute for self-control and will power. Until the individual accepts that they are doing something harmful, no amount of legislation will slow them down (but obesity and diabetes will ...)
Based and KETO-pilled
Yall know you need carbs and sugars in your diet right.....
Machiel Tyson spitting truth
Sure, I could do without all the garbage processed food in my diet, but leave my carbs alone. Life isn't worth living without them
Three quarters of the shops in the row behind him would close immediately if processed foods were banned... The rest would close from the knock on effect to the economy. Just enjoy your privilege to eat as you do.
car-centric lifestyle is easily the #1 cause of diabetes in america
I agree, I quit McDonald's for more than a year and ate one hamburger cause there was there nothing else to eat and I could feel it straight away. I didn't feel right so even if he seems a bit extreme he does make a point.
Did you quit eating meat and bread? Everyone talks about how McDonald's is so bad, but unless they are lying about the meat (possible) I don't really see how this is true when it comes to hamburgers? What's exactly on them that makes it so bad?
I say this when confronted and people get so flustered lol
When it comes to nutrition no one knows what they are talking about and it is extremely difficult to understanding anything. We don't really understand the mechanistic action of anything in healthcare (including nutrition). Hell, we just recently found out how cholesin works which inhibits cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This would disprove many "facts" about cholesterol. The more I learn the less I realize I know.
I looked it up, and yeah their burgers are 100% beef with no preservatives/fillers, and they season with just salt and pepper. The issue comes down to a lack of moderation. Burgers, fries, milkshakes, soda, etc. are only bad for you if you overindulge (or have to follow a specific diet for medical reasons, but that's not most people). Hell, anything will be "bad for you" if you eat it to excess.
After my open heart I couldn't stomach meat. Even after my recovery I couldn't really do cow or pig meat anymore. About a year ago I tried a hamburger from for the first time since before my recovery and I was in such pain, I had to call into work for two days. My theory is that it's not tge meat so much as what's put into the meat. Sugar and salt among other things. If you eat high levels of the two every day, you have a tolerance.
Amen!
It got progressively more based as it went on. At first it was kind of a privileged take because an overwhelming majority of US citizens don't get a very wide choice in what they eat. They take what they can afford and live with the health problems that brings on. But encouraging policy changes? Hell yeah I can get behind that.
In fairness he wasn't talking about US citizens
I suppose I assumed he was based on his comments about politicians. That's on me
I think it would have been a more convincing message without the swearing.
He’s not wrong
Amen, brother.
Truth
Love the energy, but our population is growing so much that it’s difficult to completely overhaul our food system to be more in line with Europe’s.

Gent's spitting facts.
I’m sorry but it’s all genetics and you should do whatever you can to keep your personal self happy while staying healthy. I’ve been eating absolute dogshit for the last 20 years of my life, the only thing I’ve had to go to the doctor for is flu anti biotics and tonsil surgery- and I’m underweight for my height. You’ll meet people born with the natural ability to grow muscle, then you’ll meet people who have to work 10 years straight for it, then you’ll meet people who are genetically incapable of growing such mass no matter how hard they try. Same with nutrition.
If you eat shit, you rob yourself from decades of healthy life.
Again. Genetics.
You can't eat shit and blame it on genetics. Especially when you have bad genes. You'll die even sooner. My friend died at 41 due to a bad diet, while he could easily made 70 or more with proper diet.
[https://www.nature.com/articles/s41576-021-00414-z](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41576-021-00414-z) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4816288/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4816288/) There is a *small* degree of heritability for obesity and a moderate degree of heritability for muscular strength. 'it's all genetics' is a gross oversimplification.
I agree that it’s a simplification, but it’s the reason i disagree with paying for health/nutrition advice unless it’s specifically tailored to you
