  How to stick to a diet long term? We struggle to stick to new dietary habits and think willpower is the key.

This video covers the top 5 issues people report when trying to stick to a diet, as well as 3 major strategies to rectify those issues and increase our odds of success.80% relapse:https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/82/1/222S/4863393Study on former vs current vegetarians/vegans:https://faunalytics.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Faunalytics_Current-Former-Vegetarians_Full-Report.pdflong-term weight-loss maintenance:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24355667willpower and BMI:https://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2018/05/calorie-deprivation.aspxripple effect:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oby.22098PlantPure Communities:https://plantpurecommunities.org/PlantPure Pods:https://plantpurecommunities.org/plantpurepods/Disclaimer: The Information in this video is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

  Scientist reacts to Miley Cyrus on Joe Rogan | Omega 3 18.08.2026 17min

  Omega 3 fatty acids came up during Miley Cyrus' Joe Rogan appearance. A look at Omega 3 and vegan diets, best sources of Omega 3 and short vs long-chain forms of Omega 3 fats.Miley Cyrus' comments on omega3 fats on joe rogan ruffled a lot of feathers. She refers to long-chain omega 3 fatty acids. ALA is an omega 3 fat, our body can take ALA and stretch it and make longer fats like EPA and DHA. So when people talk about fish and omega 3s, they’re usually referring to the long-chain omega 3s, EPA and DHASome studies show improved cognitive function with EPA/DHA omega 3 supplementation and others show no effect so it’s not completely clear, it may be context specific or only in certain people. Anyone worried about omega 3 levels can measure them.Protein is not limiting on a vegan diet. Ethical vegans and people who go vegan for weight loss often remove the meat and dairy and just eat a small salad. so 1st suspicion is Calories. Not omegas. Doesn’t mean omegas couldn’t be an issue theoretically. There is legitimate variation in elongation of omega3 fatty acids, from ALA to the long chain forms. Maybe ancestral humans who ate fish are worse converters and vice versa.Eating a lot of saturated fat, trans fats, ratio of omega6s to omega3s, all influence elongation. Smoking also. Also it adapts to need. The less of the long form omega 3s you eat the more gets produced.If she was she getting her ALAs and her long omega 3s EPA/DHA were still low, she could be a weak converter and maybe benefit from a dietary source of long chain omega 3s. Celery is not a good source of ALAs. Common idea: avocado for the healthy fats. It has monounsaturated and omega6s but not omega 3s. Avocados are not good sources of omega 3s1 avocado: 0.17g ALA; tbsp ground flaxseeds: 1.6g. You can get ALA from flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds. Avocado is not in the same league. 1 avocado=170mg ALA, 26mg/ozFlaxseed=1.6g/ground tbspoon (7g). 6.4gALA/ozWalnuts=2.5g/ozChia seeds=6g/ozSo she’s right, there’s only so much avocado you can eat and It’s hard to get some fats from there. That’s not where we get your omega3s.So maybe she just wasn’t getting enough ALAs in the 1st place.Dietary sources of long chain omega 3: if you want to get a direct source of long-chain omega 3s, EPA/DHA, 1) fish, 2) fish oil, 3) algae supplements 4) fortified foods with DHAalgae don’t come with heavy metals and other marine pollutants. Other than that all sources are effective. Fish oil vs algae supplements: algae were at least as effective. Authors claim a bigger effect of the algae but what's clear is it’s at least as good as the fish oil. Algae supplements vs salmon: same bioavailability for long omega 3 forms. So they all appear equivalent for bioavailability.In farmed fish, omega 3s often come from supplements. Fish aren’t fed algae so they're given omega 3 supplements to make up for it. So the food people associate with omega 3 needs to get an omega 3 supplement...Connect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferences:Omega 3s and cognitive function:https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/24/11/3059/304487https://www.cochrane.org/CD005379/DEMENTIA_fish-oils-for-the-prevention-of-dementia-in-older-peoplehttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S019745801100546Xhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4179753/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0269881115587958Omega 3 kit: https://www.algaecal.com/product/omegatest/factors affecting elongation: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10408398.2011.596292algae oil vs fish oil: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1756464614002229algae oil vs fish: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18589030/Disclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purpos

  Dr Stella Immanuel, hydroxychloroquine and our BANNED videos 18.08.2026 15min

  Dr. Stella Immanuel's now banned hydroxychloroquine video led me to publish a fact-check that was also banned! An objective look at Dr. Stella Immanuel's statements, hydroxychloroquine and COVID. Can we all get on the same page re: hydroxychloroquine?My video on Dr. Stella Immanuel has been banned. Dr. Stella Immanuel's press conference on hydroxychloroquine and COVID went viral but video was banned. I published a fact check of Dr. Stella immanuel’s statements but it was also taken downLet's address the hydroxychloroquine controversy and Dr. Immanuel's viewsmost of the coverage of Dr. Stella immanuel focused on her supernatural beliefs. But we should focus on the science. dr immanuel has also dismissed dissenting views, calling studies showing no benefit of hydroxychloroquine "fake science”different sources generate different views. the same is happening with hydroxychloroquinewe'll cover hydroxychloroquine alone vs in combinationI can ask if people who took hydroxychloroquine do better. But there are many uncertaintiesIn this study, COVID patients treated with hydroxychloroquine had lower mortality.but the group that received hydroxychloroquine might have been healthier to begin with. the patients hydroxychloroquine had fewer risk factors for heart disease. hydroxychloroquine patients were also more likely to be given steroids, which are effective against Covid-19.Combo: hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin + zincmost RCTs look at hydroxychloroquine alone or with azithromycin. So people have said, ok, hydroxychloroquine hasn’t been effective in the RCTs but maybe the triple combo worksso we know hydroxychloroquine alone or combined with azithromycin has shown mixed results in observational trials and RCTs do not support a benefit In the conditions testedFor the triple combo, the observational evidence is encouraging and RCTs are comingif anybody says “we know hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work, period. in any condition, any context, we just know it”. that’s not true. But it’s just as misleading to say that “hydroxychloroquine works” or to call it a “cure”David Katz video: hydroxychloroquine has side effects. someone at high risk for COVID might justify the risks of hydroxychloroquine (in triple combo)Connect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Animations: Even Topland @toplandmediaReferences:https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30534-8/fulltexthttps://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/health/hydroxychloroquine-study-henry-ford-letters/index.htmlhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2019014https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.02.20080036v1https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8309337/Zinc-hydroxychloroquine-effective-COVID-19-patients-study.htmlhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.02.20080036v1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xqCg12rOPMDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

  Intermittent Fasting Health Benefits | Real or Hype? 18.08.2026 8min

  Intermittent Fasting: are the health benefits real? Have the benefits of Intermittent Fasting been hyped up beyond the current science? Let's take an objective look at the research behind the health benefits of Intermittent Fasting.Subscribe for more free nutrition and health tips: https://bit.ly/2toMJ9uConnect with me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGilCarvalho/Twitter: https://twitter.com/NutritionMadeS3Intermittent fasting: are the benefits real or marketing hype?According to headlines, intermittent fasting helps you burn fat and improve blood pressure, gut health, even brain function. Only one problem: it’s a study in miceSo what do we know about the human health benefits of intermittent fasting? It can help with weight loss. After fasting, most people eat more than normal, but not enough to compensate for the fasting period, so overall there’s a calorie deficitOk so is intermittent fasting better than any other method of calorie reduction?In most studies, it’s equally effective for weight loss and the usual benefits that come with it, like better glucose levels and blood lipidsSo for people looking to lose some extra fat, intermittent fasting may be a viable option. Intermittent fasting says nothing about quality, which is our #1 issue.Intermittent fasting is similar to many diets in the sense that there’s nothing inherently wrong with it as long as we don’t lose track of the main issue.Fasting is effective for weight loss. We could keep fasting on and off to keep the weight off but long-term benefits are less clear.We may feel less guilty binging after fasting.Ok what about other benefits beyond weight loss? if I’m already at a healthy weight, does intermittent fasting help me at all?Conference on intermittent fasting: Intermittent fasting causes weight loss, lower blood pressure, lower glucose, etc.But are the benefits due to fasting specifically? Will someone on a healthy diet still see a benefit of intermittent fasting?Majority of intermittent fasting studies look at overweight subjects with metabolic issues. Doesn’t tell us much about health benefits of intermittent fasting in healthy people.I don't rule out additional health benefits of intermittent fasting beyond just calories and body fat. But overall, studies show similar benefits for intermittent fasting and calorie control. To me this suggests nothing magical about fastingReferences:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0303720715300800https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0939-4753(18)30100-5https://journals.lww.com/jbisrir/fulltext/2018/02000/Intermittent_fasting_interventions_for_treatment.16.aspxhttps://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/8/6/354https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4122067/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29778565/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC156352/https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMra1905136Stock footage: https://www.pexels.com/@fauxels?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexelshttps://www.pexels.com/@alexy-almond?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexelshttps://www.pexels.com/@gifing-com-2063260?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexelsDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

  Your Gut Microbiome: 3 Facts that will BLOW your Mind 18.08.2026 9min

  Meet your gut microbiome, the microbes in your gut. The microbiome can help you lose weight, fight inflammation and prevent diabetes. A look at 3 mind-blowing facts about the gut microbiome.Today we look at our microbiome, the bugs in our gut. It can help us lose weight and avoid disease. How do we keep our microbiome in good shape to improve our health?5 mind-blowing facts about the gut microbiome.We are made up of both human and microbial cells, and the microbes may actually be the majority. 99% of the genes we carry are in our microbiome. All the genes in our body, human or microbial, can impact our health.Why do all these bacteria hang on to us? Fiber isn't excreted unchanged. The soluble fiber in our food gets fermented and broken down by the bacteria in our gut.Our microbiome can help with weight loss. We think fiber is just bulk. Bacteria break down fiber to produce short chain fatty acids. Soon everyone will know about short chain fatty acids.Do you sometimes overeat? Microbiome to the rescue. Short chain fatty acids help us eat less. Short chain fatty acids cause the cells in our gut wall to produce hormones that reduce our appetite.In rodents short chain fatty acids cross the gut wall and influence the brain to reduce appetite. So our microbiome and short chain fatty acids help us feel satiated with less food.Our microbiome also helps us fight disease. Our microbiome eats fiber and produces short chain fatty acids. Short chain fatty acids feed our gut wall and prevent leaky gut, fight inflammation and reduce our risk of colon cancer. They can also protect us against diabetes.Scientists took people with diabetes and fed them a high-fiber diet rich in whole grains. The high-fiber, whole grain-rich diet was more effective at lowering blood sugar. This effect was tied to specific gut bacteria.Fiber and short chain fatty acids can help with weight loss. Hormones produced by gut wall in response to short chain fatty acids also regulate insulin and glucose metabolism. It’s amazing that the bugs in our gut can help us fight diabetes and that eating more fiber can get our microbiome fired up.Ok, Microbes are alright. Growing a strong microbiome can be as simple as feeding it. including a variety of fiber sources in your diet. Another great tool are fermented foods. They include fiber as well as bacteria.
