On Today's Episode:
If you're tired of feeling trapped in the web of marketing lies from the food industry and misinformation bombarding you every time you scroll on social media, this episode is for you!
Millions of people are basically being tricked and misled into poor 'healthy' food choices that make you unhealthy and even more overweight. It's safe to safe diet and exercise are two of the best ways to have better health and lose weight but even that advice is being tainted by the medical research community, doctors, and companies with monetary agendas.
This episode is going to expose why counting calories doesn't work and how it totally ignores the complexities of our human bodies and the environments we live in. It's going to explain why exercise isn't the best thing for most people to start with that are trying to lose weight. Finally we're revealing how so-called 'healthy' foods are as unhealthy as the fast food you've been told to avoid.
Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology, award-winning scientist and author has been published in the world's top scientific journals. His work has involved finding the link between genetics and disease. Part of that work includes exposing the lies and myths around nutrition, diet, and how to eat for better health.
Tim is also the co-founder of Zoe, a weight loss program and nutrition study designed to look at your gut microbiome, your blood sugar, your diet and more from day to day to help you improve your long-term health and reach a healthier weight.

'People who eat lots of plants and have high fiber levels, that combination of diversity and high fiber, regardless of whether they eat meat or not are the healthy ones. So, meat, I see it as an option.'
'There's a link between eating fiber and health.'

So Tom, is yogurt good. I know it has lots of culture and stuff
@nicdupreez Says:
Was listening to about minute 28 of the podcast and this theory hit me: What if the real problem with sugar is that it raised the pH of the stomach which allows “bad” microbes to grow? Hear me out. The stomach has a low pH, let’s say around 2 (it can vary). Sugar’s pH is neutral (7)… and sugar is very soluble. So sugar is easily absorbed into the gastric acid and raises the PH slightly altering the bacteria that comfortably grow in your stomach. While, for example, steak is also (almost) neutral (very slightly acidic), but it is absorbed slowly and therefore does not have such a dramatic effect on the stomach’s pH. This could also be why drinking apple cider vinegar is seen as having a positive effect on health. It could be that the bacteria that grow in a more neutral stomach habitat are not as favorable for weight loss as those that grow in an acidic environment?

Started tracking all the calories I consume and to focus more on protein. Lost already about 22 pounds in 3 months on a small deficit of 300-350 kcals! This is the first time I succesfully lose weight without changing my diet by much. I even eat one ice cream sandwich that has about 135 kcals, EVERY SINGLE day. I still eat more fatty food like cheese, pork steaks, chicken legs and salmon. Follow the recommendations of natural bodybuilders. They know exactly how to lose weight in the best way possible. So that you still can build muscles at the same time. But it takes time. Don't expect to have a different body in a few weeks.
@piotrraszkowski9700 Says:
Both are not true in my case:
- 15 years ago, 98kg, I started to exercise 5 times/week (running) without any diet change -> I lost 18-20kg (98->80)
- 3 months ago (as an advanced runner) I started to count my calories (to be precise and consistent in it) and again I lost 6 kg (78 -> <72).
@FelixLanzalaco Says:
So let me get this right. There was no microbial diet pro diversity study which eliminated healthy user bias by giving one group a diet of similiar healthiness but more diverse than the one which participants already had. i.e. no matched diet. Lets say they ate burgers already, then the participants were given many different types of burgers. No instead participants were always moved towards a healthier plant diet. The designers of this diversity theory did not consider that microbial diversity increases along the gut because those are the bacteria the gut is trying to expel, and diversity is actually quite small at the small intestine where the bacteria are adhered to the biofilm ? Yes this increase is related to pH but what does that tell you. Why would humans have to eat 30 plus types of food to be healthy, because there is no regular supply of 30 different foods they would need access to a pool of hundreds to maintain constant diversity. Where do they have such constant diversity ? We only just invented all those veggies recently in history. Doesnt more diversity increase unexpected difficulties for the gut ? Please counter my arguments effectively on the points I asked, because I really dont want to think scientists could just create a new health religion. And the truth might be the reverse, we just need a small select number of healthy foods instead

Why do you “experts” not seem to understand that carbs are not the enemy, nor is fat?!!!! It’s when you combine the both of them in a close ratio, 50% carbs 50% fat that you gain weight! Low carb you lose weight. Low fat you lose weight. But you gain when they are in close ratio to each other when eating a meal. Go look at the McDougal program. People being deathly sick and healed from eating rice and sugar.

@hfortenberry Says:
Tom, I know people think it's a crazy, unhealthy diet, but the Carnivore Diet is helping thousands of people who have horrific gut issues. You might want to look into that for Lisa. She could just do it long enough to heal, as part of an elimination diet (which is what it's often used for) then she can add things back one by one to see what's affecting her. You've probably heard the story of Michaela Pederson who struggled with all kinds of immune issues from early childhood, which caused broken bones to needing hospitalization of many types and she eventually got tired of relying on modern medicine and took matters into her own hands and finally healed herself with very strict carnivore. She's got a channel on YouTube where she talks about it. There are tons of stories like hers. Also a lot of vegans (not all of course - but many) end up getting very sick over time and need to go on carnivore to heal their guts which had been damaged by years of being undernourished and ingesting plant toxins.

I can't listen to someone who thinks we should all be vegetarian. So many of us went down that rabbit hole and barely made it back alive.

I have a big issue with his faith in laboratory created chemicals and fear to demonize sugar writ large etc.. He just makes many statements that make my spider senses ping as though he's not low grade paid off but certainly places faith in anything that passes trial. But you know what they say about religion.. We all have a god; I feel his god rests in clinical data. But all things have pieces of truth.

I dont want to say this but the comments section makes more sense than the conversation. I hear you say so much about evolution then talk about being designed. So who is the designer?? Get to the point and stop all the waffling on. I am not overweight either. If it doesnt improve i wont waste my time here. I have heard enough...bye
@arlettasloan6453 Says:
I got DNA tested and they found my particular DNA points to me needing a low fat, high carb diet. Like Dr. McDougall suggests people eat. I have a bad response to a few plants and all things related to beef, sheep and goat.
I did a ketogenic diet with eating mostly non-starch veggies and a very little meat and doing intermittent fasting and I slogged along on it feeling overly full and horrible. Until I gave up on it being low starch and started eating way more carbs than I ate of meat. Not necessarily refined or sweet carbs but sometimes that, too. And, then I lost so much weight, so quick and got to where I could just fast as much as I wanted. That was before the DNA test.
As was my testing out the McDougall /Ornish ideas where I had a time of not having anyone else around to stress me out and I could eat what I wanted so it was mostly beans, rice, oatmeal, Dave's Killer Raisin Bread, I think it was called, and some fruit and veggies. I was detoxing and losing weight, full of energy. Tested it. If I added in some coconut milk the weight loss slowed drasticlaly and I lost energy. If I ate meat, including fish, same thing. And, if I ate a signifcant amount of any fat or meat, I would stop losing weight.
The people who did the test did say that some people need a diet that is very much the opposite, though.
@90daydifference Says:
3:45 “Any diet you try will work in the first 2 weeks then you regain the weight. “. False, if you eat your species appropriate diet, you will lose weight and it will not come back, ever. The question for 99% of people is what is a human specific diet.
@bradcampbell5766 Says:
Overweight appears to be a result of chronic dehydration. In other words, people have food cravings because they are really dehydrated from eating too much cooked foods, and not eating enough raw fruits and vegetables. The best sources for hydration derive from the water contained in raw fruits and vegetables. Also, we need to drink more pure or distilled water because abundant water is needed for detox. Most people in the US need to detox from a lifetime of bad habits. The primary issue is the food we eat.

As a personal trainer whose done a lot of transformations, this is so unnecessarily complicated and just a marketing angle.
Totally unnecessary
@nzimbilef Says:
Nice interview, I like Tim Spector's diet recommendations on eating more veg, nuts, fruit, beans and less of meat. Unlike some of the people on you tube that just eat meat and call it healthy. In response to what is the trap on why some people are fat, because food is an addiction just like cigarettes, alcohol, etc. You just don't want to give up certain foods, like cake, cookies, and ice cream, even though you know they are the problem. They taste good. Some people can eat just a little bit of bad food and others don't have the will power.
@PKBillings Says:
I like that he mentioned one of the keys to a good gut microbiom is eating plant-based. I don't like that they vilify carbohydrates. I'm not one to vilify any one macro-nutrient but if I were for weight loss sake, just remember that fat is 9 calories per gram and carbs/protein are only 4 calories per gram. It takes a TON of carbs and calories before your body starts turning them into fat. If there is excess calories it's easier for your body to store the fat you eat, not the carbs. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

A few sips of kefir is great for that gut biome!

What about a low thyroid.. I have done everything to lose weight and nothing. I don’t eat junk food.. and I don’t drink sugar sodas or diet.. I only drink water with lemon.. I eat a lot of fish and broccoli.. blueberries raspberries.. and I just keep gaining weight..Why?

It is glaringly obvious that he is very knowledgeable in a very narrow and specific field of study and wondering outside of that knowledgeable makes him uncomfortable.

Damn he was basically describing me. Not sleeping eating, not being satiated wanting bread. Bang on.
All this makes sense:

I can't remember last time I was sick. That streak started WAAAAY before 2020.
@shelbyglover5919 Says:
He just contradicted himself and explained that it is, in-fact, calories in and calories out. It’s just that the “calories out” side of the equation changes, so it needs to me watched and managed.
@raqueltorres6380 Says:
1? Why do I love so hard that it hurts?
@mountainside26 Says:
I agree- smoke and mirrors. So many answers he gave were, “they don’t really know,” and then he proceeds to talk and talk without any real or significant explanation. Waste of time.

@elizabethk3238 Says:
Oh, now I understand about craving carbs after a bad night sleep. I recently replaced my blackout bedroom drapes to ones that let in a bit of light. Really affected my sleep and I found myself craving carbs. After a month I went back to blackout drapes. My sleeping improved, and my carbs craving disappeared. Now I know why...
@NickSmith-qv9ep Says:
Yes. If you lose weight you need less food. It is not your metabolism slowing down. It is a consequence of being thinner. I can’t believe this guy actually believes his own “arguments”
@NickSmith-qv9ep Says:
He says it is hard to measure what is going on in our complex bodies. Yes. But when it comes to weight you weigh yourself. It is that simple!
@NickSmith-qv9ep Says:
He is also on a one man crusade against porridge/oats. He brings this up straight off the bat in every interview
@NickSmith-qv9ep Says:
Literally the only two things you need to do to lose weight are track calories and take regular exercise. And weigh yourself of course to see if things are working. This guy is nuts to be honest.
@NickSmith-qv9ep Says:
Exercise won’t help! Yea it will! If you run 30k a week, which is not that much, it gives you a whole days worth of headroom on your diet. A whole day of eating for free!
@NickSmith-qv9ep Says:
Phil Spector is just a profiteering grifter. Seriously, we all know it is not this complicated.
@Vivi-yz5gg Says:
As soon as he said meat is optional I was like nu-uh, that's just wrong. Meat is essential!

@regenerativeliberty7915 Says:
After being put on every low fat diet, from the age of 10 to 20, I ended up at 400lbs+. After trying everything under the sun, for me unless I want to gain weight, I eat meat once a day. Simple effective and now at 53, I weigh 170lbs. I did no exercise, just moved from eating natural food (no processing/one ingredient) to Paleo to Keto to Carnivore. For 80% of the population you will not need to go to the extent I did - reference Dr. Joseph Kraft interviews with Ivor Cummins for a better understanding of why some folks can eat anything and other folks look at a carb and gain weight. I should add I was vegan for a number of years but remained at 350lbs+ and never met a healthy vegan or vegetarian to this point.
Although much of what is discussed I would agree with, there is ample evidence that plants produce chemicals that are harmful to humans. Our best choice, to get said vegetables, is to eat the animals that eat it. By being processed by that said animal, makes it fit for human consumption.
Mediterranean diet has been debunked long ago as the data was clearly cherry picked and manipulated. Keys tried to rectify the lie near the end of his life, but could not get the corrections published. The only relevant information from those studies was that of the folks who lived on the Greek islands who were Greek Orthodox and fasted in one way or another, two thirds of the year, had longevity with less chronic conditions. But just like the hunter gather tribes that have been studied throughout the world, you cannot take from there and apply to here. The people in the last two examples, the Greek folks or tribal folks are not exposed to the onslaught of environmental conditions, such as plastics and off gassing that people in our modern world need to contend with.
Do what you will, after 10k hours of research into health and nutrition, 90% is BS trying to take your $, but if you look hard enough you will find the truth. We are the top predator on the planet and we eat meat, like it or not. Please comment and give links to all the vegan and vegetarian societies and cultures that have lived throughout the history of humans, surviving and thriving? Yeah that is what I thought. Last, do you really think the African tribes would not eat meat during the rainy season if they could get to it?
