of your health journey. And it works with every eating
style. Well, head on over to
holistichealthmadesimple.com.

where ancestral wisdom and science collide.
(00:44):

frustration of yo yo dieting and the allure of quick
fixes and the maze of contradictory
(01:07):
advice. Are you ready to step into this
new chapter of your life and become your healthiest,
most amazing self? Grab some water,
pop in those headphones and let's get started.
Hey. Hey there. Today
I am excited to finally put
to bed what the best
(01:28):
diet is for every human being
on the planet. But
before I tell you that, let's take a
look at every trendy diet there is right
now. Now, there's a lot more than what I'm going to
cover. Don't come at me. And if you want me to go over
another one down the road, maybe on Instagram or in
my newsletter, reach out, leave me a comment,
(01:51):
or a speak pipe, and I will do that for you. But let's just
start with the basics that are
out there now and being pushed on us in every
single direction. First up,
let's talk plant based,
vegan and vegetarian. Now, there actually
is, and it was explained to me, vegan,
vegetarian and plant based. They kind of do mean
(02:14):
separate things, although I don't think the general
pop understands that. So plant
based is eating mostly
plants, but also plant based products.
Whether you're vegan, omnivorous, or
vegetarian, you're eating all the
products that are labeled plant
(02:34):
based. Like your plant based
butter, which I hate to break it to you,
is basically margarine that you cut out your diet
before. So let's just not go
there. So plant based
is incorporating products
that are ultra processed. So plant based
will stick to incorporates
(02:56):
ultra processed fake meats. Plant based
products that don't occur naturally. And when we talk about
ultra processed, we are talking about things that you would
not be able to concoct in your own kitchen.
They require a lab, basically.
Okay, whether you agree with me
on eliminating ultra processed foods or not, that's
(03:16):
not what we're talking about today. But that's where plant
based lies. And then we have
vegetarians. Vegetarians, like
especially old school vegetarians,
are people who eat some dairy. Sometimes
they incorporate eggs, would be their only
animal products, and then the rest is all coming
(03:37):
from plant material. But whole
foods, plants, they eat vegetables,
nuts, seeds. One of the most things that you
would, or the most processed things you would see them eating
is tofu. But tofu is not really processed. It's
mashed beans that's fermented. So
we've got to take a look at the bigger picture there, that they're
(03:57):
eating predominantly whole foods in the form
of vegetables, nuts,
seeds, a little dairy, a little eggs,
depending on their scope of
vegetarianism. And then we got the
vegans. The vegans, old school
vegans, eat plants, nuts and
seeds. They're not eating
(04:19):
the plant based
alternative meat sources. They're not eating
alternative dairy, they're not eating alternative
spreads. They are sticking to things that they
concoct out of whole foods. Hummus,
bean pastes, tofu, those are all
things. Like we could make tofu ourselves in our own
kitchen with proper instructions. So
(04:41):
they're eating whole foods,
all coming from plant matter. That is a true
vegan old school style. So plant
based eating, vegans, vegetarians, there's
also the fruitarians, there's also,
those that are raw vegan. There's a lot of
different splinters out just like any other
(05:02):
diet. the biggest concern
from those who aren't in those
groups is the difficulty
of getting in enough
proteins and the full amino acid
profiles unless you truly know what you're doing to balance
out the nuts and seeds and different plant matter so that
you're getting enough and getting the variety of amino
(05:24):
acids we need and the lack of b
twelve. Those are the two biggest talking
points from the anti plant based
vegan vegetarian, whatever you want to call it.
however, those that are in the
vegan vegetarian world have their
own arguments. Science is never settled.
They also don't think that we need as much protein as we think
(05:47):
we need from a non vegan
perspective. And I know I included myself. So you're probably already
making guesses of what I think the best diet is. But we'll get
there. We're not there yet.
So m just take everything and
understand that the vegans and
vegetarians that are thriving are
eating whole foods. They're also become very
(06:09):
knowledgeable about what they're eating. So they combine things
properly so that they do get the nutrients in the b
twelve thing. I've heard it from way too many vegans that
have struggled later on in life. It doesn't happen right
away, but they start having some,
neurodegenerative issues down the
road. but I don't know how predominant that is
in the vegan community. I have not studied it. But
(06:31):
that is the cons to that. That is brought up
in the arguments.
Next we're going to talk about mediterranean
diet, which is a diet that was written by an
american and they called it the mediterranean diet.
And it is a true diet in the sense
of it's got rules, it's got regulations, and it may not
exactly represent what people in the Mediterranean actually eat.
(06:53):
It represents a portion of what they eat.
but it is full of healthy olive oil,
fish and produce. Again, it's
mostly whole foods. There is some breads and pastas in there, but
very little. So take that with a grain of salt either.
But that is also eating a variety of things. And for some
people, they will thrive on it. And other people,
(07:13):
they may not, depending on their health. Their argument
is, is you don't need what they say you need. You
need other things. There's always going to be an argument for or
against a diet. And then there's the dash diet,
which I'm going to tell you I don't know much about, but it seems ultra
restrictive and kind of weird. So I'm not even going to get into
that. But it's got a lot of rules. And if you're into
(07:33):
the dash diet and you could reach out to me, I would appreciate it,
because I can't even understand it. Or maybe
it just didn't pique my interest enough to learn. Then
we got the, You can eat everything in moderation, or what I
like to call the Weight watchers crowd, because that's
basically what Weight watchers is. Eat everything in
moderation and within your calories and points.
(07:54):
Again, there's some pros to that because
you can eat normally and go out and
socialize, and there are some cons that you might be eating
foods that aren't healthy for you or that make you sick
or that cause your disease, that you have to get worse.
Pros and cons to that, too. Eat everything in
moderation. Doesn't work for those that have binge eating
disorders. There is a lot of issues, pros and
(08:16):
cons, with almost every diet so far that I've talked to,
but this one, because it doesn't restrict
you to whole foods. People like
it because they can eat their cake or have their cake
and eat it, too. but for a diabetic, that's
probably not the best thing. You know, there's pros and
cons to everything.
Next we'll touch on is the Paleo diet. The
(08:38):
Paleo diet originally was a whole
foods approach to ancestral eating,
which basically meant that you were eating
like they thought your ancestors would. So you were
eating all your vegetables, your
fruits, but you weren't eating grains. And no
dairy. Don't ask me where the dairy went
from. I did a, paleo version where I still
(09:00):
incorporated dairy, because I struggle giving up dairy. But
that's my personal problem, not yours. But
Paleo really was a way of eating
clean. There wasn't all the packaged and processed
foods when it was at its hype. So
it was very successful because people were getting back to eating
whole, natural foods.
From Paleo, we'll go into the keto diet,
(09:22):
which a lot of people think is trendy, but it has been
around for years and years and years. I've talked about it
before. There's lots of ways to keto.
One is a whole foods approach, and one
is a. If it fits my macros, I eat it,
processed or not. Now, again, a lot
of these diets, when they first started out and were at their height
of success, didn't have the packaged,
(09:44):
processed foods that are out there now. So
people were eating vegetables, m meat, and
healthy fats. In the case of paleo, they were adding
in potatoes and some sweeteners,
but natural sweeteners, honey and maple syrup.
And before you come at me, since I am in the keto, I
get it. Your body looks at glucose and fructose and
(10:04):
sucrose all the same. However,
they limited it to that ketogenic diet, took
that out. but the ketogenic diet left in dairy,
if you tolerate dairy, no grains, no sugars, no
starches, is basically of the ketogenic diet,
but without the processed foods, was original. Now, there's all
these processed foods. So you can find all these different versions of it.
(10:25):
And from the keto, when all these different versions of
junk food came in, people were having trouble with it, so
they started restricting more and more and more, and in comes
the carnivore crowd. Now, the carnivore diet
is really the ultimate elimination
diet, because you're getting rid of all the plant
matter and anything that would
(10:45):
generally aggravate your digestive system, especially
if you have leaky gut. So it is a version of an
elimination diet. So it's probably been around a lot longer.
However, now people live off of meat,
salt, water. some
of them do add in supplements. Some of them have
started adding in fruit. There's lots of versions of
the carnivore diet. And again, now that the carnivore
(11:08):
is trendy, there's packaged foods coming out like carnivore
crisps or carnivore flour, so you can make some kind
of weird bread. Those against something like the
ketogenic diet or the carnivore diet, say they're way too
restrictive, they're too reliant on animal products, and in
the case of a carnivore diet, they're saying
they're not getting in the fiber. They need to feed the
(11:28):
gut microbiome. And honestly, the science isn't there.
We don't know what's going on with someone that has been
long term on the carnivore diet and their microbiome,
but that's to be found out later. Right now, they're
living a perfectly healthy, thriving
life. So are vegans, so are
vegetarians. Are all of them? Nope. I find
it interesting that with every diet I just
(11:51):
spoke about, with the exception of weight
watchers, and eat everything in moderation and
to a little extent, plant based, and that was in air
quotes, relies
predominantly on whole foods. Foods,
whether it be plant foods, animal foods, or
a combination of both. With every
single diet I have listed today, there
(12:12):
are people who are thriving
and they are metabolically healthy, and
there are people who are not that just
can't get over the hump. They get a little bit better, but
not over that hump, or
they don't get better at all. They don't
reach their goals. Some people even start
(12:33):
downsliding, and their health is deteriorating.
It really depends on where you are
in the health spectrum.
So now, I promised you I was going to
tell you what the best
diet was for every human
being. There is no best diet.
The best diet out there
(12:55):
consists of foods that
nourish your unique body,
that support your health,
eliminates foods that make you
personally sicker,
and a diet you can
sustain. Because any
dietary changes you make, you need
(13:17):
to keep them up. The minute you
stop eating healthy and going
back to what you're doing now that you're not healthy
will end you right back here now where you're
not healthy. Trust me, I've been on this yo
yo diet circle. And when we talk about yo yo
diet, we always talk about it in the scheme of weight
(13:37):
loss, but it's also health gains
and health loss. Now, there are
lots of reasons why we do not sustain
a diet. If you listen to last week's
episode, I talked about self
sabotaging and it as a form
of hiding because we don't want to be seen.
But beyond that, it could also be
(13:59):
we don't want to be looked at as being different, that we have
to eat differently. You are not going to
tell an alcoholic they have to drink
alcohol. You are not going
to tell someone who has celiac
disease to eat bread.
You are not going to tell someone with a peanut
allergy to eat peanuts. You
(14:21):
see where I'm going with this? If your body
cannot process the food you are putting
inside of it and it is making you sicker,
you should not be eating it, and you should
not feel weird for avoiding
it. So the best diet out there
is one that makes you
healthy, plain and simple. Not only
(14:43):
that makes you healthy, one that you can sustain.
And I know that it kind of sounds
weird that I'm saying it has to be sustainable. And I'm
also telling you that you might have to give up your favorite foods
because they're making you sick. It's not really
the same thing. Giving
something up because your health depends on
it is not the same as giving something
(15:06):
up because you want to lose 20 pounds
or because some Internet influencer
told you to give it up. I see
way, way too much fear mongering in the health and
wellness space and too many blanket
statements that just are not
true. So to wrap it all up
and put a pretty bow on it, the
(15:29):
best diet ever out there is
one that will make you the healthiest
version of you and one
that you can sustain the healthy habits you
have built. The food will change.
What nourishes you today
may not be all you need down the road. What
(15:49):
you eliminate today may get to get added back
in, or more stuff needs to come out. Our
bodies are constantly changing, with our environments,
with our stress levels, with life. Our bodies
are not stagnant. So one diet
is never going to be the perfect diet
for you. You're going to need to learn how to hear your
(16:10):
body and listen to it when it's telling you
that it needs something different, it needs a change
up. One more thing that all of
those diets I talked about have in common is they
all need the same healthy habits,
hydration, exercise,
good sleep and reduce stress. So
(16:30):
focus on the healthy habits, play around with the foods and
you will become the healthiest version of you.
And lastly, do not fall into the
tribal trap of diet dogma.
And on that note, friends, I, will see you next time.

predominantly on whole foods. Foods,
whether it be plant foods, animal foods, or
a combination of both. With every
single diet I have listed today, there
(12:12):
are people who are thriving
and they are metabolically healthy, and
there are people who are not that just
can't get over the hump. They get a little bit better, but
not over that hump, or
they don't get better at all. They don't
reach their goals. Some people even start
(12:33):
downsliding, and their health is deteriorating.
It really depends on where you are
in the health spectrum.
So now, I promised you I was going to
tell you what the best
diet was for every human
being. There is no best diet.
The best diet out there
(12:55):
consists of foods that
nourish your unique body,
that support your health,
eliminates foods that make you
personally sicker,
and a diet you can
sustain. Because any
dietary changes you make, you need
(13:17):
to keep them up. The minute you
stop eating healthy and going
back to what you're doing now that you're not healthy
will end you right back here now where you're
not healthy. Trust me, I've been on this yo
yo diet circle. And when we talk about yo yo
diet, we always talk about it in the scheme of weight
(13:37):
loss, but it's also health gains
and health loss. Now, there are
lots of reasons why we do not sustain
a diet. If you listen to last week's
episode, I talked about self
sabotaging and it as a form
of hiding because we don't want to be seen.
But beyond that, it could also be
(13:59):
we don't want to be looked at as being different, that we have
to eat differently. You are not going to
tell an alcoholic they have to drink
alcohol. You are not going
to tell someone who has celiac
disease to eat bread.
You are not going to tell someone with a peanut
allergy to eat peanuts. You
(14:21):
see where I'm going with this? If your body
cannot process the food you are putting
inside of it and it is making you sicker,
you should not be eating it, and you should
not feel weird for avoiding
it. So the best diet out there
is one that makes you
healthy, plain and simple. Not only
(14:43):
that makes you healthy, one that you can sustain.
And I know that it kind of sounds
weird that I'm saying it has to be sustainable. And I'm
also telling you that you might have to give up your favorite foods
because they're making you sick. It's not really
the same thing. Giving
something up because your health depends on
it is not the same as giving something
(15:06):
up because you want to lose 20 pounds
or because some Internet influencer
told you to give it up. I see
way, way too much fear mongering in the health and
wellness space and too many blanket
statements that just are not
true. So to wrap it all up
and put a pretty bow on it, the
(15:29):
best diet ever out there is
one that will make you the healthiest
version of you and one
that you can sustain the healthy habits you
have built. The food will change.
What nourishes you today
may not be all you need down the road. What
(15:49):
you eliminate today may get to get added back
in, or more stuff needs to come out. Our
bodies are constantly changing, with our environments,
with our stress levels, with life. Our bodies
are not stagnant. So one diet
is never going to be the perfect diet
for you. You're going to need to learn how to hear your
(16:10):
body and listen to it when it's telling you
that it needs something different, it needs a change
up. One more thing that all of
those diets I talked about have in common is they
all need the same healthy habits,
hydration, exercise,
good sleep and reduce stress. So
(16:30):
focus on the healthy habits, play around with the foods and
you will become the healthiest version of you.
And lastly, do not fall into the
tribal trap of diet dogma.
And on that note, friends, I, will see you next time.
