tips to diet

[title]

what's going on everyone? this is carlo the solution as in the solution to fitness and today, i'm gonna share with you another diet plan. so i just woke up and one of the most popular videos on my channel is my diet plan that i posted last year. cause right now it is currently climbing at 300,000 views. so i figured, why not do another diet plan video i don't think it's gonna get the same results as that one but i decided to do another one because it is very requested on my channel

and i decided to share with you a similar style to that video if you haven't seen that, i'll leave a link to that in the description below if you haven't seen my style, i basically walk you through my entire day of what i would eat i'm gonna make it a little different, i'm not gonna repeat the same thing i said in that video you're probably gonna see a lot of alternatives i would have alright, so i'm gonna walk you through meal number 1 breakfast.

alright so i'm gonna reference the last video a lot so you guys really understand where i'm coming from but on my last video, one of the most popular questions i got was where i got this pan from. this is the pan that i use to make my egg whites with the circles and all that this is a cast iron skillet pan i got this pan from a fortunoff, i don't even know if their still around this is probably the pan i've had the longest

i don't like to use the same pans over and over again because the scratches and the parts of the pan could get in your food and can eventually cause cancer a lot of the time, i'm always switching pans around but this pan i've had the longest so i may have to switch this out soon it's a very useful pan, but since most people can't get this i decided to use a different pan this is the copper chef

very very useful pan, one of my newest ones i recently got this one you should definitely google the benefits of the copper chef i don't want to get into it now cause it will take too long alright so our breakfast here is gonna be similar to the first video, it's gonna be a little less carb heavy i have my materials here you'll see them again soon got the egg whites, eggs

spinach, oatmeal's in the back but you'll see them again soon so we're gonna start with the egg white so if you're getting a carton, usually 3 tbsp equal 1 egg white i have a measuring spoon here, this is a tbsp so i'm gonna put one two three

alright that's 1 egg white i want 4 egg whites for this so i'm gonna need 12 tbsp so i've already measured, i use this glass to know how many ounces it is for 12 it's around the 5 oz. mark this is usually where i get 12 tbsp got my baby spinach you know one thing i kept seeing a lot of comments on is that i don't wash it

now unless i am using soap, there's no way you can wash this this is already triple washed organic spinach pouring water on spinach does not clean it, i'm sorry if you wanna make it more filling add one whole egg now what's good about the copper chef is that you don't really need to put any cooking spray on it nothing sticks to this pan now look at that

doesn't this look filling? so once again i have this cayenne pepper here and you know i mentioned cayenne pepper in so many other videos this is my secret fat burning ingredient alright so i already have the oatmeal made you can see how i did it in the first diet video i don't wanna keep treading on the same grounds again but in that video you saw me use cinnamon

tbsp of cinnamon and this time, i'm gonna add in pb fit peanut butter powder this is for people that think just cinnamon and oatmeal is very bland but just a reminder, this oatmeal is plain oatmeal nothing in it this is gonna make the oatmeal a lot more creamier too and it's gonna add some more flavor

so if you're trying to lose weight and all that i recommend maybe trying only a quarter cup or half cup of dry oatmeal for me it's a little more but i think for you guys a half cup or less than that would be good for you so this is measured by 2 tbsp with 2 tbsp it's 2g of fat 70mg of sodium, 4g of carbs and 5g of protein. so you're pretty much cutting all that in half. and with that, you have meal 1

your breakfast like i said, check the first video to see the first diet video that's linked in the description if you're having trouble making oatmeal, i show you how to make it there. alright so we're now on the next meal and we have here some frozen tilapia this (defrosting) should take no more than 5-10 minutes now this meal is basically a replacement to the grilled chicken and rice meal i put in the first video this is, once again, this is gonna be tilapia and i'm gonna have a baked potato with it

so if you're lazy like me and you can see, i have a rice cooker, because i'm lazy, i don't have time to wait around, using a stove for all that so with this, i'm gonna make a baked potato in the microwave i'm gonna poke these holes in here because if you don't you could run the risk of the potato exploding in the microwave so you wanna have some air able to get out you may not need 2 potatoes but i'm pretty good with carbs

so i'm gonna have 2 alright so i'm gonna put it in the microwave now so i'm gonna put it in there for about 3 minutes and once 3 minutes hits, i'm gonna turn it over and put it for another, maybe around 2 minutes and it should be good enough alright so what are we gonna season our tilapia with? so i have here, this time some minced garlic that you can get in a jar and some more of my old friend cayenne

right away you're going to notice a strong smell if you haven't used this. this is a half tbsp by the way half tbsp on the front and half tbsp on the back now this will splatter so make sure you cover it up so you should get something like this the tilapia broke a little bit but it's still the same nutritional value so i'm gonna add more cayenne to my baked potato here

and that will be lunch time alright i'm gonna have a side of vegetables too with this i have some broccoli here and some green beans alright that should be good and i'm gonna microwave this for about 4-5 minutes and gonna have this on the side with my tilapia and potatoes alright guys now i'm getting ready for the gym once again, if you haven't seen i have this dragon ball z shirt, this is a skin shirt, it's kinda like an under armour

how to diet

hey everyone, stefan here from projectlifemastery.com, coming to you guys from south beach miami florida right now. just renting out a little place here through airbnb. as you guys know, i've been travelling around for the last few months. i was in japan, i was in thailand, bali, dominican republic, puerto rico, now i'm here in miami. next week i'm actually going to disney world in orlando on friday which should be a lot of fun. next week, i'll be going to arizona before i go back to vancouver so a lot of traveling. one question i've been getting asked is how do you stay in shape when you travel? how do you make progress towards your fitness goals or health and

fitness goals? how do you stay healthy and what supplements do you take? a lot of people have been following me on snapchat and i usually share my daily routines and i'm going to the gym and i'm taking supplements because i value health above anything. health is actually my number one value because i recognized a long time ago that if i don't value my health and put it first, then there's no me that's available to do anything else in my life. there's no me that's available to work on my business, to have a great relationship or to do anything. taking care of your health

always has to be your highest priority. i know a lot of people when they travel, they end up getting into worse shape. a lot of people when they travel they end up gaining weight, they end up being more unhealthy. they're eating out a lot. they are drinking and consuming things that it can be a little more challenging for them because they don't have a routine. in this video, i'm going to attempt to share with you my fitness rituals, my health rituals, some of the supplements that i take and can hopefully help you guys when you decide to travel, whether it's a short trip or a long trip

like myself. i think the core thing to understand is making sure that you value your health above anything else. it has to be something that's important for you because if your health isn't important for you, then you're not going to do the crazy things that i do to stay healthy. for me, i understand that health is so important that if i get sick, it ends up costing me a lot of money. just getting sick for a week, that's something that just can never happen. it's something that i got to avoid, i got to prevent, i got to make sure that it never

happens because when you have a business or even a career, you have to understand that your time is worth money. time is worth money. time is the most important thing. it's more important than money. if you end up getting sick and that takes away from your business or your career, you're missing out on a lot of money. for my case, my time is worth a lot of money, over a $1000 an hour. if i end up getting sick for a week, i'm losing thousands and thousands of dollars because with that time, there's an opportunity cost and there's more important things that i could have done. health has to be important. getting sick can never be an option. you have to

make sure that your standards are extremely high. if you want to be optimally healthy and fit, you got to have higher standards than everyone else. you can't compare yourself to people that are unhealthy and sick and unfit because most people are obese. most people are unhealthy and sick and are going to die from cancer or heart disease. i think research shows that 50% of people are going to get heart disease and 1 in 3 people die from cancer. you got to have a higher standard than everyone else and i'm going to share some of those standards that i have with you guys here in this

video. number one, first thing i want to mention is that there's a big difference between health and fitness. they are related to some extent but you have to understand that health always has to be more important than fitness. i know a lot of people that are physically fit, they've got a great body, they've got a six pack, they are muscular or whatever it is and they're massively unhealthy. i see this time and time again and these are people that i know. i know a lot of fitness models. i've done fitness shows and stuff like that.

i have friends that are doing steroids and all these drugs and they're consuming all these pre-workout energy stuff that's basically a crap product that's just loaded with excess amounts of caffeine. it's like you're taking 3 coffees before your workout and you're just taking all these chemicals in your diet. they're consuming all these whey proteins that are dairy and casein and have mucous which harden in your mucoid, in your intestines. it creates a mucoid plaque which prevents the absorption of other nutrients. there's just so many issues that i see with people that are "fit" but they're massively unhealthy.

you always got to put health first guys. if you take care of your health first, your energy, your vitality, that's what's going to allow you not only to be fit as well but more sustainable, live a long life and have energy because energy is extremely important part of success. if you want to achieve goals and results in your life, you can't do it if you don't have an abundance of energy. every person that i know that's very successful, they have a lot of energy. they have energy excuse, me, to wake up early, to work on the business, to...

in the evening time, the weekends, the energy is what pulls them and pushes them to take massive action on their business towards their goals. a lot of people i know they go to a job 9 to 5 and they come home, they're tired because they don't have any energy because they're not taking care of their health. they don't have the energy to really grow and build a business and that can't happen either. bottom line is i know i'm kind of ranting on here about health but i think it's so important that you guys got to make it a high standard for yourself and there's always ways that you can grow

and improve that. let's talk a little bit about the fitness side as well. i have certain standards on my life as you guys know that i never break, they're non-negotiable. one of them is every single morning i wake up and i do my morning ritual. i've got a whole program on my morning ritual called morning ritual mastery that you guys can check out at morningritualmastery.com. it's a 7 day program. this is something i do no matter what because i always got to make sure that every single day i take time from my body, my health, my mind, my emotions and

my spirit. it doesn't matter where i am in the world, i'm always doing something everyday for my body, my health. i wake up, i'm drinking water first thing in the morning. i'm drinking water all throughout the day because the body gets dehydrated while you're sleeping. depending on the climate that you're in, like i've been in tropical environments that are really hot and very humid. you're even more dehydrated in those environments. hydrating with water is very, very important. i always make sure that i do that first thing in the morning. i also make sure that i do something to engage my physical body each day. for my ritual

right now, i go outside, i go for a walk or on a treadmill, there's a gym where i am. go for a walk for 5 minutes, warm up, 5 or 10 minutes doing my morning ritual, my gratitude, my visualization, my affirmations, a few things like that, empowering questions. then i go for a run and my run usually lasts for 40, 45 minutes and then during that run, i might be listening to something inspirational motivational. afterwards, i'm doing a cool down and finishing up my ritual that way. engaging my body that way doesn't matter where i am in the world, i'll go outside, i'll go to a treadmill. engaging your body is free.

there's no excuse not to do it. it doesn't matter where i am and i think it's even more important when you're traveling because when you're traveling there's more temptations. you're more likely to be eating out at restaurants and stuff. if you do cardio and you engage your body each day, it's going to help prevent that you get fat and you're going to make significant progress and i find when i do cardio in the morning, i have incredible energy throughout the day because the cardio that i do is very aerobic cardio. there's different types of cardio, there's different types of conditioning.

anaerobic is when you're building a lot of acid in your body. it's when you're doing sprints and hit training and even lifting weights. those are great for looking ripped and looking really good, but you're building so much acid and you're tearing so many fibers in the muscle that your body has to recover. when your body is recovering, it's going to be a cost to that which is your energy, you're going to be more tired throughout the day. when you do aerobic which is basically more light exercise like maybe going for a jog from a scale from 0 to 10, your energy level is at 7 out of 10

in terms of the intensity. then you're taking in a lot of oxygen without damaging the muscles and building a lot of acid, so you have so much energy throughout the day because you've now given your body so much oxygen that you're going to feel great throughout the day. also also you're going to feel happy, you're going to feel amazing. that's a ritual that i do everyday no matter what. i also lift with weights and one requirement for me whenever i travel is always look for places that have a gym. the place i'm staying right now there's a gym across the hall in the building. other places there might be a gym across

the street or within the area. it could be a little bit more challenging to find the gyms but i was in thailand and i was in bali and i still found gyms in the places that i was staying or at least across the street or in the area. you can always find gyms everywhere. i had a hard time finding a gym in japan, in tokyo. i will admit i don't think i worked out with weights during the week that i was there. some places it is more challenging without a doubt. i remember looking for gyms in japan but it's like people just don't work out there. it was just really strange for me how hard it was to

find a gym even in like hotels and stuff like that. again, that's a standard that i have. i have a standard, you know what, the places i stay has to have a gym because my goals aren't just going to stop because i go on a vacation, because i'm traveling. the goals that i have, these rituals they're there just help support me in my life, not just to achieve my goals but to be the best that i can be. working out, taking care of my health, i always see that as an act of self love. that's a gift that i give myself everyday. by taking care of my body, i'm honoring my temple, i'm honoring my creator. it's going to allow me to

make everything else work. i don't need to take breaks from it. it's just something that i do that i love, i enjoy and you got to enjoy it if you're going to do it long term. working out, cardio, doing something like that everyday, having a ritual, these are things that are non-negotiable that you make part of your life no matter what. if you guys are having a hard time with rituals, get my morning mastery program. it's inexpensive. it's a 7 day program. hundreds of people now have been to the program and gotten

amazing results. you might think, "well, you know, i don't need a program to create a morning ritual." if you're not doing a ritual then you do because there's a conflict in your belief system that's preventing you from doing it. the program that i created doesn't just teach you and say, "okay, do this as a ritual," it helps you address the belief systems, making it a must, making it important and also making sure that it's a sustainable ritual long term. the only way it's going to be sustainable and making it that important is you have shift your beliefs.

the program's amazing, get it. i'll have a link in the description for it. let's talk a little bit about supplements because supplements are another important part of my health and fitness ritual. a lot of people have different opinions about supplements. i love supplements. i've gotten immense value from supplements. taking them for years and that's a lot of money in supplements and testing different products. i even created my own brand which is life mastery nutrition st lifemasterynutrition.com and i started to create my own supplements because i want to make sure that what i put in my body is the highest standard, highest quality

products and i want to share that with people. for me, one thing i'll mention first and foremost is number one, you got to make sure that you are eating healthy and have a good workout training program because no pill, no supplements are going to solve that for you. there's no supplement you can take that's just going to help you lose fat without doing any work or help you lose fat and you can eat junk food and not exercise. it doesn't work that way, same thing with gaining muscle or being healthy. really i think that 90% is your working, your workout and your

exercise and your diet and nutrition. supplements play like a 10% role. i think they play a physiological role and also a psychological role. sometimes one thing a lot of people say is well, how do you know if a supplement's working? really number one, there's a few factors that are used to measure. number one, is always measure how i feel and i usually implement one supplement at a time into my routine, my lifestyle so that i can try to measure it that way. measuring how you feel, that's not the best way but it is a way to measure whether or not how effective it is as well as results with your health and fitness, your fitness

goals where you're losing weight et cetera. it's not great because so many people are so out of touch with how they feel. a lot of people, they're so used to stimulants like caffeine that when they take caffeine, they immediately feel energized and in a great state you're not going to get that from other supplements. you're not going to get an immediate effect. people think well like, "i'm taking this product but i don't see an immediate effect." it doesn't work that way with a lot of products. you got to understand that. there's no it...

part of it is that if you're very sensitive to things like i've developed a very good sensitivity to certain products. i know whether or not it's working because i've done ... i'm just working my mind-body connection so much over the years and i know even in a spiritual level how i resonate with different products. that's important. also just again, measuring the results. another way of looking at it that i find is that really for supplements to work, you have to believe that it's going to work. with anything, nothing in life will work

unless you believe it will work. it will only work to the extent that you believe it works. there's a placebo effect. placebo effect a lot of people look at it as a negative thing. i look at it as a positive thing because i remember reading a study. this famous person, i forget his name but he was doctor and he started treating his patients with sugar pills and telling them that it was medicine. what happened was he was just doing this as a test and he was journalling everything. it was a huge breakthrough in science. what happened was these people that

were taking sugar pills thinking that they were taking real medicine were actually healing themselves and actually getting better. how was that possible? it's because of the belief. it's because they believed that they were taking medicine even though it wasn't really medicine that they got better. that's the power of your mind. that's the power of your belief system. sure enough, this doctor when he actually shared this, he thought he was going to win like a prize and something like that and all these patients were upset with him. everyone was mad at this guy because he was giving them sugar pills. they didn't realize it's a huge

breakthrough that he discovered and now he is recognized for the work that he did. your mind, your belief is very powerful. for me, i can take certain products and for me, as long as i believe that it's working, i'll get better results and that's all that matters for me because you're taking products to get better results. you're taking them to be healthier, to be more fit, to help achieve your health and fitness goals. whether or not it will actually work physiologically, it's actually not

that important, it's the belief of it actually working that's going to make more of a difference for you. the belief system is key. i find that to be the most important thing and it gives me a psychological edge because if i've got a goal to lose fat, to get lean, i've got a fitness show, i want to gain muscle, i need as much belief in my way to help me achieve that. i invest in supplements because it's going to make me feel like i'm doing the right thing. everyday, i'm losing fat because i'm taking these supplements and sure enough i do,

sure enough i always achieve the result or the goal that i'm after. the psychological is powerful. let's jump into some of the supplements. these are some supplements that i take. i got another video blog i did like a year or two ago when i was doing a fitness show where i go through like all the supplements, my meal plans because i had to get meals delivered to me and stuff, meals prepared. that's on my youtube channel. i think it's called my weight loss plan.

you guys can look it up. these are some that i take when i travel. when i travel, i always bring supplements. there are certain ones that i never leave the house without. they're important. again, these are high standards that i have. i don't care if i've got to check an extra bag whatever, usually i don't. i just find a way to put everything in my suitcase and i've been traveling for a few months. i also recognize some places you might travel to, you're not going to be able to find good supplements. when i was in thailand and bali, i couldn't find a lot of the products that

i take. i bring them with me which is very important. number one, this is a great product right here called athletic greens, athletic greens. i'll have links to these products below. this is a product that's amazing guys. greens drinks, greens powders are amazing number one, for your energy, for your recovery, for giving your body the right nutrients and the right vitamins, minerals et cetera because one thing is a lot of people don't realize the regular diet you might be eating you're not going to get all the nutrients you need from the regular diet. most foods that you're going to be eating are

deficient in certain nutrients. even a lot of vegetables are because the soil is different and it's not organic and it's not the same as it was before. a lot of minerals, a lot of core vitamins, nutrition, you're not going to be getting from a regular diet. that's why you got to supplement and make sure that you guarantee that the body is going to get exactly what it needs to recover, to be energized, to help achieve your health and fitness goals. this is a great product that i take and what it does, number one is it's like a dehydrated greens powder. it's a greens powder that basically is a mixture of like spirulina and wheat grass and broccoli and spinach

and kale et cetera. greens as well as a few different herbs and roots and a lot of different other just really essential ingredients that you would just never get again from eating a regular diet. number one, the greens is really great if you're not getting greens consistently in your diet, so that's a really important reason for taking a product like this. also it helps to alkalize your blood. a really great book to learn about acid-alkaline balance, the ph balance is a book called the ph miracle by dr. robert young. making sure your body is an alkaline state. this product here also

has a lot of very important vitamins and minerals so like vitamin a, c, e, k2, biotin and zinc and selenium and copper, chromium. a few different minerals that are really important. i take vitamin and mineral supplements too but when i'm traveling i like to bring something like this because it has a lot of that stuff in it already. it's really light. they also have these travel packs here too. i bring these with me if i'm going on a short trip. i've got like a 5 day trip, i always bring 5 of these packs. what you do, is you take it first thing in the morning.

first thing in the morning, i take a water bottle with me when i travel as well. i basically mix it with water and a lot of waters you're going to have when you're traveling and it's bottled water it's going to be acidic. i'm a health nerd. i drink ionized water at home but when i'm traveling, i don't have access to that so it's even more important that i alkalize my water. i mix it with water first thing in the morning, empty stomach and then i also take it after my workout to help with recovery as well. at least twice a day, i take this products. it's also got enzymes in it, it's got antioxidants,

it's got herbs, it's got probiotics, it's got super mushrooms, mushrooms as well. really amazing products guys. this is one of the best ones that i take that i absolutely love. it tastes really good too. a lot of them test like garbage, a lot of the green powders. i'll throw a link to these guys below and you guys can check them out. i order them online. they get shipped to me within a few days. i think they can deliver anywhere in the world.

athletic greens guys, get it. trust me, it's going to give a lot of energy too. next product, i'll mention this as well, i usually bring a blender bottle. these are blender bottles. you can but it at the store or you can buy them these are really cool products because they have it's a shaker cup so i can mix protein and my drinks in it. also they have different compartments. for example, this here comes off and in here i got some proteins. when i'm traveling and especially if i'm on like a flight, like an airplane or whatever, i can throw in some protein or some of my supplements and stuff in

this little container, attach it to the bottom of the bottle and then bring it with me. also when i open this, there's another one right here that i can throw in. this here, it's actually a bit wet. it's actually a little hard to take it out but it's basically another one of these that you can throw in here. i can put in my protein, my vitamins and it's really great when i'm on an airplane or like i'm not going to have access to a meal. a lot of people eat bad when they're hungry because they didn't prepare. you might be out for a few hours and

you get hungry, you going to go to eat whatever is just the most unhealthy place or whatever, whatever is available. this helps ensure that you're preventing that from happening. you always have to think ahead by actually having my protein there with me. all i need is just water, i can mix it. that's all i need for a meal replacement. blender bottle is great. i always bring plant based protein with me. this is a product called vega. they're not the number one brand that i recommend honestly but they're good nonetheless. traveling wise,

i bring my own with me but i ran out from the ones that i have from vancouver. vega, i was able find and this is a good option for plant based protein. now i can talk a ton about protein. i’ve got a good friend of mine, wade lightheart who knows everything about protein because he's a vegetarian body builder and went to mr. universe and national championships and all sort of stuff and he did it as a vegetarian. a lot of fitness people that take whey protein and casein protein. whey and casein protein isn't really high quality protein because it's cooked in process. it's also a dairy product as well.

a lot of people have issues with dairy like bloating and gas and for me personally, i get bloated and gasy when i take it. understanding when you take protein, you might be getting in 30gm, it doesn't mean that you're absorbing all 30gms. there's a difference between your absorption and what you consume. a lot of people, they're consuming all these whey protein but they're not absorbing all of it because it's cooked in process. whereas plant based protein is raw, it's got the enzymes in it. it's going to be easier for you to digest and also you're absorbing more protein from it. you can consume even meat and chicken and beef and stuff like that,

you can consume 30gms of protein, but maybe you're only getting half of that. you might only be absorbing half of that. whereas plant based, you're going to have a much higher chance of absorbing more of it and it's going to be better for you. it's more natural product. the vega one, the reason why i don't like them is they used to be good but as they have grown, they have kind of diminished the quality of the product. they use a lot of pea protein and pea protein is a tough protein for the body to digest and will usually make you more gassy and bloated as well.

higher quality plant based proteins are like hemp protein, rice protein, pumpkin protein, those are more of the ones that i prefer. nonetheless, this one tastes good too and it's a good option as well. plant based protein, always take this. usually i have two scoop supplement with this throughout the day, two or three scoops actually sometimes. let's go into some more products here. these are some of my products i'll share with you guys. i've shared them before

but one is cla conjugated linoleic acid. this is my supplement brand called life mastery nutrition. i always bring ... this is actually one of my favorite supplements. i always bring this with me everywhere. i always take it because number one, what cla does- it's a very common fat loss supplement but one of the biggest benefits of it is it prevents body fat storage. especially when you're traveling, you might be eating out at different times or consuming certain foods that might not- that support your higher calorie foods. anytime you eat out,

there's no way of knowing how many calories that you're consuming. often times it's a lot more because they're using certain oils and ingredients that you can't see that are increasing the number of calories in those meals. what cla does is it prevents body fat storage. i take 3 capsules every single day. they're actually soft gel capsules but i take them everyday, morning, before and after my workout and what that does is that if i am having higher calorie days or eating out, it prevents my body from storing it as fat. it's not like a magic thing like you can't go eat 10000 calories and expect it's going to help you prevent fat ducking in that case. it does make a

significant difference. this is one of the products i always notice a difference with. also great for fat loss and burning fat. it's basically made up of safflower oil and there are other benefits to it as well in terms of cholesterol and your body mass and a few other health benefits to it as well. the biggest one being fat loss. definitely know there's a huge difference with this product so i highly recommend cla. if you guys want to check out my brand, my products. my products are really high quality. i develop them and i want to share them with people. i'll have a link explaining the description if you guys want

to check them out on amazon. cla, i might even throw in a little discount, a little coupon code for you guys on your check out on amazon. i'll throw that in the description as well. another one is bcaas, branched chain amino acids. this is also my brand life mastery nutrition. bcaas are really important for me especially when i'm losing fat because i don't have a lot of- i'm not a very muscular guy, i'm more of a lean person. for me when i'm losing fat, one of the risks of losing fat is that you lose muscle mass. muscle mass is something that you work so hard to attain especially if you're bulking up and stuff like that. you want to

maintain as much of it as possible. by taking bcaas, it ensures that i'm getting the amino acids that will help prevent muscle breakdown. it helps preserves muscle mass. also will help to gain muscle mass as well but really, you've got to be eating more calories in order to gain more muscle mass. there's a number of other great benefits in terms of your recovery. i usually take them before and after my workouts because it will help recover in terms of if i had a really intense workout. also it will help with my endurance, my stamina at the gym as well. bcaas, very, very important. always take those. the other one is l'carnitine. l'carnitine is amino acid.

there's different types of l'carnitine. there's l'carnitine tartrates, there's l'carnitine acetyl. this is l'carnitine tartrates which specifically helps with fat loss and also with muscle recovery and endurance as well. it's also got a lot of other great benefits but the main thing how it works is that helps the body be able to burn fat as energy, as fuel. you want to get your body, if you want to lose fat, your body has to start burning fat and using it as fuel and energy. l'carnitine helps with that and this is the first product i developed and i take it everyday. amazing product, also will help with your energy levels too. l'carnitine, a great

one and again if you guys want to check them out, i'll have a link below. i'll throw in a little coupon code for you guys too if you want to buy them. next is omega 3s. this is a great brand called nordic naturals. omega 3s are very important for your mood, your emotional well being, your heart, your brain function. even for just your overall fitness because you want to make sure you're getting the right oils in your body. i think this is fish oils.

i like fish oils. it's a good source of oils but there's also ... yeah, this is fish oil's this brand. usually when i'm in vancouver, i have got a bottle and it's a vegan based oil which is udo's oil but it's hard to travel with that. i like to take these ones. these are really important, i think more importantly just for your overall well being. a lot of us we eat diets that are so deficient in oils and omega 3s, whereas we used to eat a lot of fish and nuts and foods that had the oils in it. most foods today are deficient in the essential oils. supplementing with it is key and i think it's a really core component just to being happy.

these are actually known, omega 3s are known to help prevent depression and a lot of great benefits with it. i always take oils. great for your skin too. i get dry skin from time to time so omega 3s and the right oils are very important. here's another good product. i mentioned before making sure you don't get sick. i have always said there's 3 natural products foods that i take that have always prevented me from getting sick, and that's cayenne pepper, garlic ...

actually, i'll throw in four, cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger and onion. those four foods are amazing for your immune system. it's not always practical to eat ginger and garlic although i usually do but there are supplements you can get. here is one, just cayenne pepper and garlic. i take two of these capsules everyday, helping getting it in my diet. really great for the immune system. another great supplement to travel with is oil of oregano.

this will help detoxify your blood if you get sick. that's been a very common one. these are just a few examples of products out of a few other ones that i usually travel with. another great one is probiotics. probiotics is great especially when you travel to certain countries where you can actually get sick from the food. for example in bali a very common thing that a lot of travelers get is something called bali bug because there's different bacteria that you're consuming, your body is not used to it and so you can end up getting diarrhea and vomiting. probiotics will help

prevent that. probiotics or the good bacteria that you put into your digestive system that will help to fight off bad bacteria. probiotics is key. there are other supplements i take like cretin and glutamine and fitness ones and health ones and enzymes and things like that. i don't always travel with those ones though. athletic greens is great because they have probiotics and enzymes in them. these are some of the main ones that i take that i honestly, i never leave the house without these products because they're just so important. it comes down to having

a high standard for yourself and making it a must for you to take care of your health, your body and your fitness. by doing this guys, i'm able to lose weight, be healthy, be fit, be energetic, be productive and it makes everything a much more positive experience. when i travel, i come back home, i'm in better shape than i was before i left. that's how it should always be guys. again, the real difference in getting in shape and all these sort of stuff is not going to be supplements and little technique, it's your standards. making it a must, making it important for you. not being afraid to invest in the money.

i've always viewed this as the best investment i could make because it's an investment in myself. you've got a ferrari as a body. you've got this amazing piece of machinery here and if you put crappy food and fuel into it, you don't take good care of it, it's not going to perform. a lot of people they walk around like they're driving their little beat up honda civic and that's exactly the result they have because they've put in the cheap fuel and they don't take good care of it. you have a ferrari

though and you got to take good care of that ferrari. you got to put the best supplements in it, you got to fuel it, you got to take good care of it. if you do, you're going to get a lot from your body and it's going to allow you to live the life that you want to live. kind of ranted on in this video but hopefully this has been useful for you guys because a lot of you have been asking for some health and fitness stuff from me. honestly, health and fitness is like one of the most important things in my life beyond anything else business or money. i don't really talk about it that

much but i know a lot about it as you guys can probably tell because i've studied it my whole life. i'm really passionate about it also but maybe i'll do some more videos related to it. hopefully this was useful for you guys when traveling and maybe even when you're not traveling, a lot of these can be useful for you as well. again, i'll throw links to some of these products that you guys can check out below in the description. check them out guys. even my products are great products. it will definitely help you. i don't share anything that hasn't benefited me first, that i don't personally believe in. that's always my number one

goal and aim is to be transparent, to share things that i take, that have benefited me. if you guys want to have similar results to me, then you guys can buy modeling me and taking some of the products. that's it for these video guys. thank you so much for watching. make sure to leave a comment below. let me know any questions you might have and maybe other supplements or products you might want to share as well. i'm always open to checking out different products also. thanks for watching guys. i'll see you in the next video. hey, this is stefan and thank you so much for watching this video. if you enjoyed

we r what we assimilate, not what we eat it'sreally we are what we absorb, so we take a lookat macronutrients micronutrients phytonutrients, beverages and vital factors. macro nutrients suchas protein fats carbohydrates provide our primary fuel micro nutrients such as vitaminsminerals and enzymes nourish us and provide necessarycofactors for our metabolic processes phytonutrients such as alkaloids in plants are potent anti-oxidants they help balance our neural and

hormonal systems and beverages such as pure water mineral broths,herbal teas fresh juices for nursing and hydrating vital factors include light, air, water, touch, and love - things weshould not without nutrition heroes - let's meet ournutrition heroes real food to grow real healthy cells wehave organic whole foods we have diversified, seasonal andlocal foods we have pure beverages and

our method is tailored strategically toindividual tastes needs and situations think soul sees no organic unadulterated localfoods. in whole organic foods, it emphasizesplant foods they are fresh, unrefined, they havebetter flavor you carry more nutrients they're free oftoxic chemicals when we think diversified seasonal andlocal rethinking a variety providing differentnutrients in different ratios from different plants

we think of local produce in seasonwhich is fresher and at its peak its got the highestnutrient levels and when we think pure beverages, youactually want to think of her often as well like a half a cup each waking hour isrecommended this trickled flow of pure beverages starting upon awakening is a very important strategic approach so let's get into tailoring

to your individual tastes needs andsituation through a consult this is providedone-on-one through bauman nutrition consultantgraduate now eating for health as design true buamancollege let's look at the food groups this isvery important this is a key component for healthy choices and holistic nutrition we have are different food groups such as seedsand oils nuts, fats, protein

from vegetable or meet milk and legumes. now when we think of seeds of the flax seeds: chia hemp, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds - all very healthy seeds in there so many other seats i just haven't listed them all here. each has its own individualized effect its own health benefiting, health-promoting,balancing effect. then lets look at some of the nuts: almonds brazil nuts, cashews, hazel nuts, macadamianuts, pecans, and walnuts

many of these nuts carry vital micro-nutrients and minerals that are so important to our helthwhether you eat meat or not are an essential part of our daily food groups. then lets think thefats the oils. we can get oils from flax, hemp, olive, coconut, red palm nut oils andso many other or else i just haven't listed them all here we can also get fats from butter andghee, refined portion butter fats

also come from a variety of othersources i haven't listed them all here now protein from vegetable or meet when you thinking of gettingprotein you just wanna make sure it's organic if it's meat it's got to be pasture raisedlocal meats are free of nitrates and hormones as long as theyhaven't been processed now let's cover milks milks includes cultured foods which can be akeifer along with enriched milks all milksshould be organic

each with its own health promoting benefits the beans also include things like soybeans tempe, and miso. things that are processedand made from beans this can also be found in this food group. lets cover some more here we have our carbohydrates group in our carbohydrates group we have different sections such as leafy vegetables crunchyvegetables unrefined starches and seasonal fruit in a leafy vegetablesection just to name a few beat greens, bok choi, brussels sproutscabbage, chard,

collards, dandelion greens, kale, lettuce,mustard greens and spinach in our crunchy vegetable section we canlook and see that beats raw or cooked can be in our crunchysection broccoli raw carrots cauliflower, celery, cucumber,green beans onions, peppers, summer squash, turnips just to name a few are on refinedstarches include whole grains like amaranth barley, corn including polenta and rice we also have brown japonica, and wild rice. and millet.

and some of the favorites are thingslike basil cardamom cayenne cilantro cinnamon garlic ginger oregano parsley rosemary time and turmeric each with its own healthpromoting benefit some other nutrition bandits are listedhere summer very common like refined carbohydrates refined sugars these are ingredients in many differentproducts found on the shelves white flower especially but most all our products, rancid oils

stripped nutrients that negativelyaffect blood sugar and foods that can inhibit thyroid function from refinedcarbohydrates then there's the refined sugars likehigh fructose corn syrup excess sugar of any kind, excess sugarcausing blood sugar imbalances sharp rises followed by steep fall leading toobesity hypoglycemia and diabetes refinedsugars offer calories only they're not offeringany supporting vitamins and minerals

or co factors. they can be acid forming typically they always are acid formingflushing minerals from the body instead of allowing them to stay put andthey can contribute to emotional imbalances, hyper activitydental cavities weakened immunity and yeast overgrowth inthe body they also promote the growth of cancerous cells. these are just a few thenutrition bandits let's go on to more here we are with more nutrition health bandits

we have artificial sweeteners and bad fats so these really steal what you'vealready got going good in your body. artificial sweeteners canalso cause obesity despite the lack of calories, the braincan't tell it's not sugar so we still launch the same response. it can reach increased eating nosignals satiety. sucralose is a chlorinated sugar that can be toxic nolong-term studies have been done to prove it's safe

splenda is not sucralose, its first two gradients are sugar its sugar alcohol 1 teaspoon contain 16calories one calorie more than 1 teaspoon ofsugar and after a few months the body'sactually in many cases able to identify and create an enzyme that will break it down similar and the same as sugar so it can be used sugarand stored in fat cells as sugar. and we have

bad fats, we have fats that havebeen exposed to heat light and air. oxidized, natural fats even. we have hydrogenated oilsthat creates trans-fats. and both of these types of fats makefree radicals they damage our cell membranes they slowedmetabolism and the harm the brain here's a little more health bandits and this is our finalslide includes commercial meat and dairy pesticides in tap water the commercialmeat and dairy can contain hormones and antibiotics

they're always fed genetically modifiedcorn and soy and this concentrates pesticide residue. the genetically modifiedcorn and soy are modified to allow morepesticide use so they get twice as much pesticides and they areconcentrating it in their meat that can lead to allergies and foodintolerances it can also contribute to sluggish liver a backlog of toxins, nervousproblems immune system and imbalances andantibiotic resistance is passed on from

the cows to you. pesticides, more than 2.5 milliontons of pesticides are applied to the worlds food and animal feed products yearly these pesticides are toxic 250 single chemicals are used as pesticides in united states because pesticides are designed tokill living organisms they are a possible threat to all livingorganisms including humans, animals and theenvironment. tap water which contains chlorine to kill bacteriaincludes killing

the good bacteria in your gut andchlorine can double the risk of bladder and rectalcancer now its cover the four levels eating level 1 we start off here just aschildren and we eat for pleasure we are impulsive which is a littleimmature we maximize pleasure and minimize pain its all about immediate gratification wereach for refined foods like cookies and icecream candies maybe we have excessive alcohol coffee, or

chocolate and this can also, levelone eating for pleasure, can be eating to emotionally please us in response tostress level 2 eating for energy this could be when we are going out and our blood sugar regulation drives our foodchoices were feeling low in sugar 00 so we needsome candy or foods chosen to allay hunger so you goout to a big mac burgers and burritos are common choicesfor level 2 eating for energy quality is not really issue its quantityit's

satiety, its it's something a largemeal fast its high acid forming typically allergyinducing and clogging to the liver. its a level two eating for energy isunconcerned with the ecological impact of you're foodchoices here we are at level 3 eating for recovery thisis and inevitable cumulative effectlevel 1 and level 2 eventually everyone becomes aware of a need to eat a good diet

and they eat recovery they go on a dietformulation like the atkins the zone diet, weight watchers, ornish, rawfood, diet combining or blood typing, and they do itbecause they're feeling the ill health effects at level 1 and level 2eating. the positive effects of the diets eventually diminish and yes level 3 eating is much more mature thanlevels one and level 2 but it can become tiresome, it can behard to do, it can be judgmental and supplementdriven. level four eating for health is a lifelonglearning about optimum nutrition

it's similar to level 3 in that it is adietary formulation but it's more similar to the foodpyramid or something that is allows choice andis not judgmental it allows for your personal choice you choose from healthy organic foods inyou eat in moderation it's very simple the care and preparation and presentation should is also aconsideration when the it is understood, appreciatedand instrument to personal healing and sharing with the community

here's an example of the omnivores perfect main meal through eating forhealth we have a picture here that has some lean protein, the ocean fish shown here or it could be tofu sixounces you have a picture here showing a little bit a avocado in there with asalad imagine covered in olive oil dressing you have un refined carbohydrates thebrown rice and the leafy greens colorful crunchy vegetables off to theside, mixed with herbs

and a little bit of herbs sprinkled on top. behind there water or tea and you're sitting in a feeling and the state of mind ofpeace and love this is beautiful the choices and habits. food choices are what you eat the example is; are you reading whole foods or fast foods, refined or comfort foods your habit is

how you eat. so now, are you chewing well are you eating slowly are you talkingwhile you eat are you hungry who sit down to your meal or are you eating for comfort now let's cover a little bit of keepingtrack because this is something i want you to start doing right away keep a dietary journal get a little book or a just record just the facts your journal it is really going torequire

you to write down how much you ate whenyou ate, where you were when you were eating youin your bedroom where you at the kitchen table on where you are in the restaurant. whoare you eating with and why did you eat so it could just be i ate because it wasbreakfast or i ate because it was lunch. or i ate because iwas hungry, or i had a midnight snack because i couldn'tget to sleep. and the accountability helps buildself-awareness

so number one is you are going to practicethis level of self-awareness by keeping thisjournal it is personal it's really subjective you have situational notes in there andthings nobody else is gonna read you can include quantities but it's morequalitative so it's including not just how much butwhen, where who and why and there are forms for both of these activities for you touse in your workbook what i provide to mynutrition clients

otherwise you can just get a simplerecord keeper just a simple plain piece a paper and start writing it down start keepinga journal just staple the pages on as they go or track it in your kindle and in review so let's discuss theconcepts eating for health, meeting your nutritionheroes and bandits eating for health is a way of living itsconscious living. your not just focused oncarbohydrates proteins and fats

but you're much more detailed have youdifferent food groups including proteins nuts, and seeds, booster foods fruits vegetables that include crunchyvegetables and leafy vegetables starchy vegetables, whole grains and fluids. your heroes and bandits as wecovered our food choices things that either yourhelp and build your cells or take away from your health removingminerals depleting the body giving empty calories and becoming trapped as a liver backlog getting trapped in your fat cells.

we have covered understanding fourlevels of eating and identifying were your present diet most consistently falls below your needs. and it's important to think aboutwhat level your'e on have you been eating for pleasure, haveyou been eating for health, or somewhere in between have you tried other diets perhapsyou're at level three new really ready to break free of all the judgmental constraints of other diets and begin saying ok i'm going to begin eating for health

i'm not going to be just thisor just that or stick to only fruit because that'swhat i say i'll do there's no constraints there's no being tied down a chain to oneparticular way eating it's really understandingthat what i need at this moment based on metabolic testing based on my nutrition consulting based on the things my body needs and my dietaryanalysis which

shows me my deficiencies in certainareas and you can look at the food journal to analyze what you've beeneating and actually once you get familiarwith eating for health you'll see we're missing a few thingsyou can add those foods in so that you stay balanced for years and years and we've covered learning how to keep track food choicesnoticing attitude pertaining to making changes so really becoming accountable theattitude an attitude of

accountability and gratitude and we're going tokeeping track the choices so that you can become accountable and have that list to look back on. you can keep track of your food choicesit's also important when you are just starting off for the the first time, and it could be very very important juststarting off in the first three days to a week especially because you're going to benoticing for those bandits are popping

up in your journal and you could see that boyi've been choosing more bandits then heroes and just noticing that is bringing you up tosuch a good level accountability you can startmaking changes and thinking; okay i always cheese frenchfries what else can i choose tthis is going to be your foundationin back bone for the class. now i've given you quite a bit to thinkabout what i want to thank you for being here and

having me for this time when taking thetime to invest in yourself by getting your food journal together andbeginning your log your journey your journey starts today please join mefor a second class where i cover more in detail those carbohydrates that are so good and enriching for healthspecifics and i'll go into great detail and more in ournext class so, thank you again and i look forward to you joining us in the future. contact me online at www.hunter-nutrition.com where you can see more videos and sign up for my class mailing list to receive further free educational videos.

(upbeat music) - [voiceover] have youever wondered about your human ancestorsthat lived more than one million years ago? you may have imagesof ape-like people that sheltered incaves and used clubs. a special group of scientists,called paleoanthropologists, use clues from theprehistoric record to uncover the mysteries of what earlyhumans were really like.

the work of these scientistshelps us understand what it means to behuman and how we evolved to the unique speciesthat we are today. in this episode, we'llmeet paleoanthropologist briana pobiner to learnmore about early human life by looking at what was on themenu one million years ago. - hi, thanks for joining us. i'm maggy benson, host ofsmithsonian science how. we have a really awesomeshow planned for you today,

but before we get started iwant to ask you a question. you can respond usingthe poll that appears to the right ofyour video screen. what makes humans differentfrom other animal species? is it talking, walkingupright, using tools, thinking abstractly,or having big brains? take a moment to think about it and put your answer inthe window that appears all right, it looks like theanswers are still coming in,

so before we go to theresults, i want to introduce our special guest today. today we have with uspaleoanthropologist from smithsonian's nationalmuseum of natural history, dr. briana pobiner. thank you so much for beinghere with us today, briana. - you're welcome. - right now, we basicallyhave three answers coming in that are top, walkingupright, thinking abstractly,

and using tools are allanswers that people are responding thatmake humans unique. what do you think about that? - i think in some ways allof those answers are correct, but really it's sortof an all of the above. it's the whole package thatmakes us uniquely human. we have these amazinglylarge brains, we have very sophisticated language andtechnology, and we walk upright on two legs which isfairly unique among animals.

- [maggy] i have to askyou, what about chimpanzees? i know that we're reallysimilar to them in all of our behavior, so does thatmake us really that unique? - we're not only similar tochimpanzees in our behavior, but the way that we lookand also our genetics. we are 98.8% geneticallysimilar to chimpanzees. they do a lot of the thingsthat we do, they walk upright from time to time, theyuse tools, they have fairly sophisticated communication,but actually humans

and chimpanzees sharea common ancestor that lived about six orseven million years ago. so we've had quite a long time to evolve on thoseseparate paths. if we have 3.2 billionbase pairs in our genome, a 1.2% difference is maybe35 million differences. - [maggy] oh my god, so only1.2% of our genetic code is different, but it reallymakes us uniquely human. - it does, thatmakes us who we are.

- i guess 6.7 millionyears of evolution too. - that's right, that'squite a long time. - can you tell us whata paleoanthropologist is and what you do tostudy human evolution? - sure. a paleoanthropologistis essentially a scientist who's interested in earlyhumans, what they did, how they lived, what theyate, all about their biology and behavior. sopaleoanthropologists usually use three lines of evidence tolook at early human lifestyles.

we use the fossils of theearly humans themselves. we use animals' bones orfossils of animals that lived at the same time asthose early humans. we can tell somethingabout environments from those animals, possiblysomething about diet. we can also use thearchaeological record. stone tools, pottery, anykind of, basically anything that was left behindthat early humans made. - interesting, it sounds likethere are a lot of different

puzzle pieces across thosethree lines of evidence. - there are and it'sreally neat to try to fit those puzzle pieces together. we're never gonna haveevery single piece, but really trying to makesense of the evidence that we have. - can you show us something,i see evidence on the table here, can you show ussomething that you brought? - sure, i brought the exactreplica of a skull of probably

my favorite species on humanfamily tree, homo erectus. one of the things that makeshomo erectus so special is that it started to incorporate alot more meat into its diet. i'm really interested in meateating and early human diets. by about 1.8, 1.9 millionyears ago, when this species evolved, it started to eatmore meat and more marrow and other thingsfrom large animals. we can see that reflectedin the shape of its skull. in comparison to a species likeaustralopithecus afarensis,

which lived much earlierback to almost 3.9 million years ago, the slope ofthe face is much different. a lot of the faceof australopithecus used for chewing, butthen once early humans started using stone toolsto butcher meat they could basically process foodoutside of their mouths. so our teeth got smaller,but our brains got bigger. - interesting. so whatdid we eat before we started eating meat?

so what did maybe afarensis eat? - even back to theearliest human ancestors, back to six or seven millionyears ago, we probably had a very omnivorous diet,so eating plants and animals. eating things like fruit andleaves and berries and probably small animals, maybe insects,lizards, eggs, all sorts of things, kind of anythingwe could get our hands on. - you mention that therewere other species, other than afarensisand homo erectus.

how many humanspecies were there? - the family tree, our familytree is pretty bushy actually. it's very diverse, therewere maybe somewhere between 18 and 20 specieson our family tree. at any one time, there wereoften several species living at the same time. it's fairly uniqueto be a modern human and to be the onlyspecies left standing. you can see right there, kindof on the top of the tree.

- [maggy] did all of theseanimals live at the same time? - [briana] many of themdid, you can see where some of them overlap andin fact, modern humans, our time span overlaps withat least three different other early human species. - [maggy] interesting,so the early humans that you study,where did they live? - there are a coupleplaces that i work. one site that i amcurrently doing research at

is called olorgesailie, it'sa site in southern kenya, in the southernkenya rift valley. we actually have a beautifulphoto of olorgesailie right in back of us, this iswhat the landscape looks like. it's very eroded but ithink it's quite beautiful. we're working at olorgesailieunder the direction of dr. rick potts, who's alsoa paleoanthropologist here at the natural history museum. - [maggy] what kind ofthings do you look at

at olorgesailie? - [briana] i'm particularlyinterested in looking at the animal bones there. i've actually broughtone with me today. this is a rib of somesort of large animal, maybe about a zebrasize, that's about a million years old. - [maggy] wow, that'sso interesting. so you may find someof these fossil bones

here at your fieldsite in olorgesailie. what else do you findat the field site here? - we find lots of differenttypes of evidence. it really takes a team tobe able to put together the pieces of thisprehistoric puzzle. we have archaeologistswho study the stone tools. we have paleoanthropologistsor physical anthropologists who study the actualfossils of early humans. we have paleontologists thatstudy the animal bone fossils.

but geologists are alsokey, so these are scientists that help us figureout how old the fossils and artifacts were andalso help us reconstruct the types of landscapesand environments that early humans lived in. - wow, that'sreally interesting. we already have astudent question for you. are you ready to take it? - sure.

- this one comesfrom amy from acacia. she wants to know whois our closest relative? - who's our closest relative?that's a good question. that's sort of amillion dollar question. right now, based onavailable evidence, we think that probably our directancestor is a species called homo heidelbergensis. this species lived inafrica and in asia, i'm sorry and in europe,

that dating back toabout 800,000 years ago. populations of this speciesin africa evolved eventually into our species, modernhumans or homo sapiens, about 200,000 years ago. the populations in europeevolved into neanderthals and neanderthals are ourclosest extinct relatives. - [maggy] wow, interesting. we have anotherquestion for you. this one comes from ruth.

ruth wants to know isthere any way to know what we will evolve into? - wow, that's afascinating question. a lot of that's hard to predict. the way that evolutionworks is that changes often happen or areselected for in response to a particular selectivepressure in response to a particularenvironment or challenge. not knowing what thosechallenges will be

in the future, it's a littlehard to predict how our evolutionary trajectoryis going to proceed. - great. i want to get backto this bone that you brought. that was recoveredfrom olorgesailie one you said that looking atmarks on bones is your primary research, what do you lookat when you look at marks? - i'm particularly interestedin trying to figure out who made these marks on bones. some of these marks weremade by early humans

when they used sharp stonetools to butcher animals. some of these markswere made by carnivores when they were basicallyeating their prey and munching on these bones. - [maggy] so, like wesee on the screen here, are those chew marks or what? - [briana] those are greatexamples of cut marks on fossil bones, cut marks arelinear, they're very narrow. they usually have av-shape at the bottom

and they're usually eitheroriented right across the bone or kind of diagonallyacross the bone. in contrast, carnivore toothmarks, especially tooth pits, they're usually round,they're crushed on the bottom of the surface of the mark,and they can sometimes be scattered throughoutthe bone or often sometimes kind of concentrated on placeswhere carnivores have chewed. - [maggy] i want to know howyou actually do the research to be able to understand whatmade that mark on the bone,

because we don't have alooking glass to look back a million years ago. - i would love that. one thing i do is i'm tryingto determine what different carnivore chewingpatterns look like. to do that research, i workat another site in kenya, called ol pejetaconservancy which is a site in central kenya, it'sa modern game reserve. i'm working there togetherwith my colleague,

dr. fire kovarovic fromdurham university in the uk. we are basically looking atkills that lions, leopards, hyenas, differentcarnivores have made to try to determine if we canfigure out what that lion chewing pattern, that leopardchewing pattern looks like. so we go out in thesemodern landscapes, we follow these carnivores aroundand then we pick up their leftovers and study those bones. - is that scary?

you're out on thismodern game reserve with these big carnivores. - not only with thesebig carnivores, these big meat eaters, but elephantsand rhinos and buffalo. it can be a little scary,but we always go out with an armed guard, with anarmed ranger, any time we're out of the car tomake sure that we're safe. - interesting, did youbring any objects here today that show what someof these chew marks

look like on the bones? - i did. here is oneexample of a zebra bone that has some nice chewingdamage from a lion. you can see right herewhere the arrow is, there's basically a bigcarnivore tooth mark back here and over here is all of thisnibbling damage that happened when a lion was chewing totry to get this meat off and ended up chewingpart of the bone. - you've done a great jobhelping us understand what

a chew mark looks like anda bite mark and a cut mark. let's go back to this ribbone that you brought. - i think maybe we shouldask the students what they think that thesemarks were made from. - [briana] that sounds great. - [maggy] wonderful, studentstake a look at this bone and maybe briana'll point outwhat marks we're looking at. what do you think the markson the bone were from? grass impressions, tooth marks,

water staining,or butchery marks? all right, briana, theanswers are coming in and 50% of our students thinkthat they're butchery marks. - i think that's a great answer. really it's the factthat they're quite linear and straight andnarrow that gives away that those are butchery marks. - [maggy] so they're butcherymarks made by stone tools. that means thatearly humans were

using stone tools amillion years ago? - actually early humanswere using stone tools all the way back to about2.6 million years ago. we have very sort of simpletechnology at that point, we basically have simplerocks with flakes that were knocked off of those rocks. not very sophisticated, butthey were really perfect at getting a sharp edgeto be able to slice meat off of bone.

by the time homoerectus came around, there was a big innovationin stone tool technology. this is a hand axe,this is a real hand axe from olorgesailie, thishand axe has a very specific pattern thatthese sharp flakes were taken off around the edge. it's actually a veryefficient way to use your stone tool raw material. - great. we have anotherstudent question.

this one comes fromlong gone daddy. is there any evidence thatparticular diet and nutirents contributed to brain orlanguage development? - that's a good question. actually there is a lotof evidence, or at least a good hypothesis, thateating meat contributed to an increase in brain size. so meat is a great resourcethat has a lot of calories, it has a lot of fat andnutrition, and being able to get

all of that in a smallerpackage versus a lot of leaves or fruit may have enabledour brains to grow bigger. - great, this one comesfrom briana from fis. she wants to know wheredo you take the fossils after you piece them together? all of the fossils stayin the country where they've excavated from,where they've been excavated. all of the fossils fromolorgesailie stay at the national museums of kenya.

they go to the centralmuseum in nairobi. - great. you mentionedthat these stone tools were used for butchery. does that mean that theywere actually hunting with them too or werethey just using them to butcher the animalsand eat the meat after some animal mayhave gotten to it? - that is anothermillion dollar question. we don't have evidencefor hunting technology

in the archaeologicalrecord until about half a million yearsago. you'll notice that's two million yearsafter the evidence for this meat eating started. we think that sometimesactually early humans were coming in after carnivoreswere done with their kills or maybe even chasingthem off and that's how they were getting meatfrom these big animals. - [maggy] were the earlyhumans kind of waiting in

the bushes, waiting for theselions to get off their prey? - it's hard to know, wedon't have evidence for some of that specificbehavior, but we probably, we can infer from wherecut marks are on bones. if the early humans aregetting the really juicy parts of carcasses, it's anindication that they may have been chasing carnivores offof kills or somehow being able to get better access to thebest parts of the animals. - is that primitivescavenging or is it actually

an advance for that timeperiod to be able to be waiting and thenbutchering these animals? - it's funny, i think scavenginggets a really bad rap. i think it's actually afairly sophisticated behavior. you really have to knowyour environment very well, know where thecarnivores tend to hunt, have advanced planning,and very sophisticated communication and groupdynamics and social interaction. i think it's actually a prettyadvanced kind of behavior.

- interesting. eating meatreally was the critical changing point for us to beable to have all of these human unique qualities. - at least it was avery big changing point. there's two other kind of bigshifts in early human diet. one is by about 800,000 yearsago, we have good evidence that humans were usingfire for cooking. then by about 15,000 yearsago, it's kind of late in the record as far as we'reconcerned, we have good

evidence for agricultureand domestication, which is basically growingplants and tending animals for our own food resources. - wonderful, you've done areally great job at explaining to us what a paleoanthropologistdoes, about your fieldwork here in kenya,here in kenya, (laughs) and the evolution ofreally our human diet. let's go to somestudent questions. - sounds good.

- this one comes from louisa. louisa wants to know mightearly humans have gotten the idea of cooking meatfrom scavenging meat from animals caught in wildfires? - that's a really good question. we think there were probablyoccasional wildfires, that lightning strikes orsomething ended up lighting these wildfires, it certainlycould have been from something like that,that's a good idea.

- this questioncomes from haegen. haegen wants to knowwhy were animals from millions of years ago so muchbigger than they are today? - that's actually areally good question. we have really across thewhole world and almost all of our continents, thereare big extinct animals that are no longer around today. i think it's complicated,but there's probably a lot of reasons for that.

- this one comesfrom harold woods. harold woods wants to knowhow many different types of food did we eat beforewe started eating meat? - that's a very good question. we have a lot of types offood we were probably eating that don't preserve, thingslike fruit and leaves and berries, so we canget preserved bones and sometimes even preservedlittle bits of plants, but it's harder to lookreally deep back in the record

and figure out whatwe were eating. - this one comes from scottin fairfax. scott in fairfax wants to know did earlyhumans eat raw meat? - i think the answer is yes. we have meat eating backto about 2.6 million years ago at least, but we don'thave good evidence for cooking until 800,000 years ago. it's possible that we'llfind earlier evidence for cooking, but it looks likeraw meat was being eaten

for a long time. - otto from rapid citywants to know what education do you need to dothis kind of work? - the first thing youneed is a college degree, usually in anthropologybut maybe in biology or geology or even somethinglike chemistry and physics to do some of thosedating techniques. then most people do goon and get a master's and a ph.d.

- briana, what made youinterested in paleoanthropology? - [briana] i admit that i wasnot as interested in science when i was in highschool than i am now. it was really a class that itook in college with a really inspiring professor thatgot me started on the anthropology path and theni went to a field school in south africa andabsolutely fell in love with the discovery and thinkingabout human prehistory and trying to find thosepieces to that puzzle.

- great. we haveanother question. this one comes fromjaclyn. she wants to know do you ever find painting onany of the bones that you find? - interestingly, we do.sometimes we find coloring. so pigments, either redpigments made of ochre or black pigments likemanganese, occasionally we do find staining on those bones. - wow, and you think that isthen two lines of evidence together as one, both the humanartifact and a fossil bone.

- exactly, it's a little bitlater in time so we really don't have the evidence formaking art until a couple hundred thousand yearsago, but we certainly do find marks on stones andbones and certainly caves and things like that. - great, alex has a question. alex wants to know did ourbones get bigger over time? - so our brains got biggerover time and that meant that our skulls had toget bigger over time,

at least that part of our skull. in general, our body sizedid increase over time, so our bones, our wholeskeletons, got gradually bigger over time. - [maggy] and that was reallybecause of meat eating? - [briana] it probablyplayed a big part, yeah. - that's so interesting, i'mlooking here at the models that you have out on thetable, what order did they come in? do you know?

- yeah, so i would actuallyhave to switch these two. the earlier fossils fromaustralopithecus afarensis, leading into the earliestmembers of our genus, the genus homo, so you cansee a little bit of change in the size of the brainand the slope of the face. then once we get past homoerectus to neanderthals, you can see they're muchbigger and actually have a really large brain andvery big brow ridges. - now neanderthals, inthe geologic record,

they're kind ofrecent, aren't they? - they are and actually theyevolved around the same time that modern humans did,about 200,000 years ago. - [maggy] they werefound in north america? - they were found ineurope and in western asia. - [maggy] oh, okay. - actually, modern humanswhen they migrated into europe encountered neanderthals, theywere living in the same place at the same time and weactually know from genetics that

they occasionally interbred,they mated with each other. - great, we have anotherquestion from patrick. patrick wants to know how didearly man learn to make tools? - oh, that's a great question. i'm not sure we'll everanswer that question. it may have been initiallyjust picking up sharp stones and using those as stoneknives that gave the people the idea to actuallymake early stone tools and to manufacture theminstead of to just kind of

go out and collect them,but we really don't know. that's a good question. - wonderful. thisone comes from david. david wants to know whendid the early humans learn to build shelters? - so that's a good question. we have the earliest evidencefor building shelters back to about 400,000 yearsago, at least that's what we can discern in theprehistoric record.

- john b: what is your favoritefossil that you've found? - wow, that's a hardquestion because i love all the fossilsthat i've found. probably some of the fossilsthat i've found where i'm digging up inlayers that are about one and a half millionyears old and i can pick up bones like this cut markedbone and i know that the last person thattouched this lived a million and a half years ago.

wasn't quite like me, butit's really like reaching through the past and touchingevidence of behavior. - [maggy] sounds exhilarating. - [briana] it's amazing. - brian wants to know sincethe tools were made of stone, how hard were they to use? - oh, that's a good question. they actually weren't thathard to use in the sense that you could pick one up,one that had a sharp edge,

and it's not hard to actuallyslice meat off of those bones. tools were also used forpounding for probably processing plants. it was probablyhard to make them, but not as hard to use them. - this one comes fromjonathan. he says besides the brain, did anyother organs change? - well, interestingly, aboutthe same time that we see the brain size increasing,we actually see the size

of our guts and our wholedigestive tract decreasing. those things might berelated, so our brains take up about 2% of our bodyweight, but they take up 20% of our energy and our gutstake up a lot of energy. so potentially with eatingmeat, we didn't need guts as big so they got smallerand brains got bigger. - interesting. in a kindof related question, emma wants to know didsalmonella or any other kind of diseases exist backthen that we have today?

- it's interesting. it'srare but we do have evidence of diseases, there's actuallycancer or bone lesions on a neanderthal rib from tensof thousands of years ago. there's actually a partialskeleton from northern kenya where we know that thiswoman suffered from hypervitaminosis a, probablyactually eating something that had a really highconcentration of vitamin a, which is especiallyconcentrated in liver and actually carnivore liver.

- wow, so you can reallyactually see some of those diets in the fossil record, too. - and diseasessometimes, exactly. - this one comes fromlindsay. lindsay wants to know how do you feel aboutindigenous creation stories? - i think that basicallyhow we became human is a part of what itmeans to be human, but i think that thestories that we have in the cultural contextof how we became human

are also a really importantpart of who we are. - great. this one is kind offunny. sophia wants to know will our pinky toeevolve away? (laughs) - it's funny, actuallyhaving five fingers and toes is a really primitivecondition, in a sense. that goes back really farin our evolutionary history. unless there was really strongselection for some reason for our pinky toes to go away,they're probably gonna stay put. - [maggy] that'sa good question.

- it is a good question. - raymond wants to know isthere any difference in early human bones becoming fossilsas opposed to animal bones? - the process wasprobably the same. a lot of the bones, if youfind human and animal bones in the same layers, theyusually look the same. it's really just the sizeand shape of the bone that lets us know whatkind of animal or human they came from.

- going back to the sizeand the shape of the bone, anthony g. wants to knowhow do you tell what kind of bone it is? is there a spoton the bone that tells you what kind of bone it is? - that's a good question, iactually spend a lot of my time trying to figure out whatbones these fossils are. sometimes on parts of thebones there are very specific shapes, you can see some ofthese curves and ridges here. if you get chunks of bonethat have these shapes,

they're a loteasier to diagnose. sometimes when you havereally little pieces, it's really hard to tell. - so you're really kind oflike a forensic anthropologist, too, that we see oncrime shows like csi? - in a way, trying to put,look at tiny bits of bone and trying to figureout what they are. - thank you so muchfor being here today and teaching us aboutpaleoanthropology,

human evolution, andearly human diets. it's been really enlightening. - [briana] oh,well, thanks a lot. - is there anywhere thatstudents can go to learn more about human evolutionand the work you do? - i would suggestgoing to our website, which is humanorigins.si.edu. if you're on social media,you can follow us on twitter @humanorigins and then youcan also find us on facebook

smithsonian humanorigins program. - thank you so much. - thanks. - thanks again forjoining us today. we're glad that you came. if you missed part of thisbroadcast or want to watch it again, it'll bearchived at qrius.si.edu later tonight. thanks for joining usand see you next time

diet tips

[title]

greetings. it's new zealand naturopath, ericbakker, author of candida crusher and formulator of the canxida range of dietary supplements.thank you, again, so much for checking out my video today. i really appreciate all myloyal fans, patients, people that i know, practitioners, doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors,there are a lot of people now who look at my videos, and i really appreciate you checkingout my channel. i've got a question here from a young guyin canada and his name is josh. his name on youtube is prochessplayer. josh has been lookingat a lot of my videos for some time. thank you for your email, josh. i really appreciateyour email and also thank you so much for giving me the awesome feedback on my canxidarange of products that you've been using on

yourself and also on your mom there for awhile. thank you. josh's question relates basically to candida,of course, and it is, can you explain the top 10 reasons why people don't recover orfail on the candida diet. the 10 reasons why people don't fully recover on it. i've donea video here and i've come up with 10 reasons and i'm sure there are 100 reasons, but theseare 10 common ones i see in my clinic that relate to patients. let's just start off.number one. thinking one little drink won't do too much harm. this is something i hearfrom a lot of people. if you've got a problem drinking, but if you drink quite regularlyand you want to cut out, you need to bear in mind that alcohol has a very powerful effecton the digestive system. in fact, i believe

that if people are serious about recoveringfrom any kind of candida, regardless whether it's a vaginal yeast infection or jock itchor a skin problem, tinea, they may have toenail fungus, whatever kind of a yeast infectionyou've got. even more so if you've got sibo, like small intestinal bowel overgrowth. ifyou've got bloating, gas, ibs, ibd, constipation, no matter what kind of gut problem you'vegot. if you're not prepared to cut out drinking entirely for at least six months, it's justisn't going to happen. you're not going to recover.i couldn't give a hoot what any doctor says, any professor says, what any book says, orwhat any google says. i couldn't give a hoot. and why wouldn't i give a hoot? because isee patients in my clinic every day now for

nearly 30 years with these kind of problems.and i also see that they just don't recover fully unless they're committed to cuttingout alcohol entirely for a long period of time. so the longer you've been sick, themore you've got to understand this concept that you need to make a permanent, long-termchange in your diet and your lifestyle, particularly. think about why you want that drink. how youhave the drink. under what circumstances. how often? the quantity. all those sort ofthings you need to think about. if you're really committed to good health, as they say,if you don't make time for health now, make sure you have plenty of time for sicknessdown the track. so now is the time to decide that one little drink is not a good idea ifyou want to recover.

and the danger is when you partially recoverand you're starting to think, "oh, i'm not feeling too bad. i might just go down theroad and have a beer." or your friends will call you up. they've got a barbecue on orthere's a party coming on and you turn up at the party and there's wine all around theplace, bourbon and coca cola and all this sort of junk. and all of a sudden, someonegives you a glass. so if you're in my room now and i gave you a glass of alcohol rightnow, you're going to look at it and think, "mmmm, i might have a sip of this." and that'show easy it is. it's very easy to drink alcohol. it's very easy to drink alcohol when you'restarting to feel good. and of course, on the road to recovery, that's when it often occurs.so be very careful and be fully committed

to a full recovery, which means strict adherence,no alcohol, and not until you feel well. but until you feel well to the point where youknow inside there's a big chance you're not going to aggravate.and the last thing i'll leave you with with the alcohol thing is you're the one who decideswhen he or she wants to have a drink. not people around you. not friends or family.you're in the driver's seat. this is not a religious sort of bashing alcohol, anti-alcoholbashing kind of a thing at all. it's got nothing to do with faith, belief or spirituality.this is purely to do with your gut microbiota. you must not drink for a long time unlessyou want partial recovery and then relapse. number two. throwing caution to the wind whenyou're dining out. big mistake a lot of people

make is when they go out eating. now goingout eating, this could be, again, in a family's house or at friend's. it could be at a diner.it could be at a take-away bar. it could be anywhere. it could be a picnic. so when yougo out of your house eating somewhere, it's easy to make mistakes. it's easy to, again,throw caution to the wind and then next thing, your auntie or your sister-in-law says, "comeon. have this nice piece of apple pie. forget that candida crap. you've haven't got thisstupid infection. you're a hypochondriac. it's all in your head. come on. just eat thispie and enjoy it with us. stop being such a baby."you know what i mean. so a situation like that could come up and, of course, you mayfeel bad or harbor thoughts where you think,

"well, auntie thelma, i don't really wantto offend auntie thelma. i better have that damn pie," or something like that. so then,you have the pie and then you feel bad later. again, don't let people decide what's rightfor you. you decide what's right for you on your road to recovery. you basically say,"look. i don't really want the pie." you don't have to argue about it. if auntie thelma'sgot a problem, well, then it's her problem, not your problem. be careful when you eatout. and again, as you recover, it's easy to throw caution to the wind.number three. assuring you have to go 100 percent gluten free and dairy free. not true.you don't have to go 100 percent gluten free. just because every blog site out there, everything,the huffington post and american scientific

and all these sites are saying that you shouldeat gluten free. you don't have to eat gluten free. it's not true. i really believe thatgluten free is like a religion today. it's almost like a belief system. everyone's jumpingon the bandwagon. i've always been a fan of eating healthy, but i've never had extremistviews about my diet ever. and i never have or will with my patients either. so i believethat gluten is perfectly okay for some people and it may not be okay for others, and it'stoxic for a minority. about one to two percent of the population has celiac. now, for them,gluten is actually poison. are you a celiac? probably not. are you gluten intolerant? probablynot. do you have a disturbed gut? probably. so remember when you've got disturbed gutmicrobiota or you've got bacteria that aren't

very good, you've got candida or parasites.you've got low beneficial bacteria. all those things may scream to you that you need togo off gluten. you may not need to go off gluten. i can tell you now after seeing thousandsof patients; people get sick and tired of being gluten free. they hate it. every labelhas got to be scrutinized. every time they go out. every single package they purchase,they look for gluten this and gluten that. what at pain in the butt! there's a big chanceyou may not need to avoid gluten 100 percent. big chance. how are you going to find out?if you want to go gluten free, my view is cut right back on gluten to start with. liketake all the bread out of your diet. but if you occasionally eat oats with gluten, oh,goodness, you're not going to die of toxicity,

are you?if you're going to have a piece of sourdough bread with no yeast in it and it's a goodquality stone ground whole meal flour, i don't think you're going to drop dead the followingday. and it's going to give a little bit of variety to your diet. you're going to enjoyyour diet a lot more. you're going to maintain weight, energy and feel good about what you'reeating. remember, food is more than just stuff that you shove down here. there is also ahuge psychological component to eating. you've got to feel good about your diet. it's gotto smell good, taste good, and look good. a huge part of food is enjoying food. howthe hell can you enjoy gluten free, dairy free, this free, that free, kosher, and halaland all this sort of stuff? goodness, you'd

be down to five foods.you'd actually develop anxiety disorder about what you're eating, which a degree of my patientsactually has. they actually developed serious anxiety about what they eat. not a good wayto live, is it? and remember that also the sickest patients i've got have got the bestdiets. the best and they're still sick. they've been gluten free for 10 years and they looklike crap. they look gray in the face. they look sick. "oh, but i'm eating all this andi'm eating all that." if everything is so good that they're eating, then why are theyso sick all the time. and i'll talk about another point later, but there is a lot moreto the candida diet than just food. dairy free as well. now, dairy is a differentkind of fish because you've got much more

chance of having an allergy toward beta caseinor one of the primary proteins in dairy. gluten allergy is not that common. after lookingat many thousands of different food allergy reports, i'm not convinced that gluten isanywhere near as allergenic as cow's milk. cow's milk is the most allergy forming ofall foods or drinks on the planet. period. you can have lactose intolerance or you canhave a casein allergy to different animals. lactose intolerance means more diarrhea andbloating. the casein allergy will be a more dairy-related allergy. i'm not a fan of drinkingcow's milk myself. i do love a little bit of cheese here or there, especially mozzarellacheese or parmesan, a very high quality cheese. but apart from that, i'm not really into dairy.but again, your call. but don't be extremist

with gluten. please don't do it.number four. assuming you have to eat 100 percent organic, biodynamic, certified this,and certified that. it's not going to happen, guys. come on. when you go out, you can'talways be anal about every tiny little piece of food, where it's grown, how it's grown.we're starting to go back to the anxiety disorder again. most people will tell you they eatcertified organic and they may eat certified organic, but is it really helping them withtheir diet. i don't really believe it is. i grow a lot of my own food because i reallyenjoy the outdoor experience. i feel i'm doing something for me and my family, and i'm agardener anyways. but i also buy a lot of vegetables and fruits from the farmer's market,good quality. now, are they sprayed? i don't

know. do they have chemicals on them? i don'tknow. they look bloody good. they look healthy. they look clean. i'm not really that concernedabout those sort of things. i look at life a bit differently, perhaps,then you do. non-smoking, non-drinking, exercising, not using any sprays or toxins around thehouse. i do my part in remaining free from as many poisons as i can, but i'm not goingto go to the extent of avoiding every bit of produce that may come from a place that'sused a chemical. and the other stupid thing i want you to remember is a lot of these organicplaces can't stop people from spraying up the road or using some type of a poison thatmay have landed on their crop. what are you going to do? grow it in a dome or something?i think you've got to wake up to the fact

that it's very difficult, if not impossible,to eat 100 percent certified organic and biodynamic. it's possible, but i think, again, you'rebordering a little bit toward the anxiety part. and remember what i said, the sickestpeople i've seen are the ones that tend to eat the healthiest. and it's interesting howa lot of them stay sick for so long. so if occasionally produce creeps in that's non-organic,don't have a heart attack. number five. including high sugar fruits atthe beginning or not cutting out enough fruits. and the other component to part five, fiveb, is eating high sugar, starchy vegetables, if you have severe candida. so let's explainboth of these. i've always been a believer that the best fruits to eat with candida aregreen apples. i was recommending green apples

for candida 20 years ago before anyone talkedabout green apples with candida. and now, every website says green apples. but a long,long time ago when i recommended green apples, the candida experts of the day said i wasnuts. all apples had to be avoided. but i knew from clinical experience that green appleswere perfectly fine with patients. i knew that because it was the only fruiti could tolerate personally when i had bad candida over 20 years ago. and i started recommendingto other people and i started noticing that they could tolerate green apple. pomegranate,usually fine. avocado, perfectly fine with people with candida. blueberries are the bestberry to eat, but generally, strawberries and boysenberries are okay. so these fruitsare usually fine. i find kiwi fruit is often

tolerated quite well by a lot of people, sothat's another one that you could try out as well is the kiwi. be careful again aboutreintroducing fruits into the diet as you recover. it's a little bit like alcohol. becareful. wait until you recover, increasingly, increasingly. because fruit can be one ofthose problematic foods where people won't eat one orange or mandarin in a day, they'llhave five or six, and then they'll create problems. slow introduction when you feelbetter. high sugar or starchy vegetables. be careful.if you've got seriously bad gut problems, you need to avoid pumpkin, squash. sweet potato,yes or no? i find sweet potato is often tolerated by a lot of people even with bad candida.sweet corn can be a problem for some people.

squash, pumpkin, potatoes, those sort of things.now, here's another interesting point you won't find on the internet. how the food iscooked or how the starch is modified can have a big effect on your tolerance. baking pumpkinmay be entirely different from pumpkin soup. frying or stir-frying starchy vegetables mayreact different in your gut from steaming or boiling it. you need to try different waysof cooking starchy vegetables to see if you can tolerate one way or another.now we're coming back to the fruits. different stages of ripeness will dictate how well youtolerate the fruit. a fruit that's ripe may have a higher sugar content than a fruit that'spartially ripe. fruit can also be cooked. don't forget. you can actually cook fruit.a lot of countries around the world actually

cook fruits as part of their meal. i've gota really nice book called the "fruit cookbook." it's got some fantastic recipes in it. a lotof people will tell you that fruit needs to be eaten raw. why? who has the rulebook? imean who are these kind of food police to tell you this sort of crap. you don't needto always believe other people. you need to believe what you want to believe, but be carefulabout believing what other people want you to believe. keep an open mind always.number six. being extremist in your diet views and not flexible enough. please don't needto be one of these extremely full on sort of focused person who really believes theirdiet is the highway. i've seen way too many people over the years with very powerful extremistviews. it's almost like they've got this religious

conviction that everything they eat that'snot on the "yes" list is toxic to them. so as you will see in a minute, diet alone willnot cure candida. if fact, diet is a small part of recovery and yet people tend to thinkthat everything's about diet. well, it's not. it's quite a stupid belief to think that everythingyou eat is going to seriously improve your health or make it sick.i've seen many, many patients over the years with very mediocre and bland diets in fantastichealth and people who don't eat organic. people who don't eat a wide variety of foods. likewise,i've seen many people on the most amazing diets that are so sick, so toxic, and so anxiousthat they can't even leave their house and they eat the most incredible diet. extremeviews create extreme problems. so when you

start to have this extremist point of view,you're digging a hole for yourself. and you're also alienating yourself from a lot of otherpeople. number seven. thinking that your diet alonewill cure your candida. this is absolutely not true. diet, as i've written in my book,i believe personally accounts for about 25 percent of recovery; 75 percent is the otherstuff. this is the unseen stuff. this is the iceberg under the water that you can't see.the tip on the top is the diet, and the rest underneath is the lifestyle. i've made manyvideos, if you look at my channel on lifestyle and candida. i've talked about stress andcandida. i've talked about exercise and candida. unless you lead a balanced lifestyle and understandthe importance of sleep, exercise, really

good relationships with people around you,understanding stress, having some understanding of adrenal and thyroid function and theirrole in immunity, all these concepts need to be learned to a degree if you want a fullrecovery. i've seen some patients who've been sick for10, 20, 30 years recover in six months when they had the lightbulb moment. when they foundout what their problem was, they made changes. and all of a sudden, the obstacle to cureis removed and the body recovered. regardless of the diet. so don't be a person who is extremistthinking that the diet is the make all break all because it isn't that way. i don't carewhat blog sites or so-called experts tell you. this is my personal experience basedon nearly 30 years of practice. diet plays

an important, but a less important, role inrecovery than your environment and your lifestyle does.number eight. failing to understand the relationship with stress, adrenal function, digestion,and recovery. i don't think i'll talk too long on this point because it's a quite abig point to go into. there's a lot to talk about. i could do a whole one-hour video juston one aspect of stress alone. but i want you to really understand there's a big connectionbetween the gut and the brain. there's a big connection between stress, particularly theautonomic nervous function that controls stress. there's a big relationship between that beingbalanced and recovery from candida. the body has got its own in-built mechanism that canperfectly deal with pathogens, different kinds

of yeasts, different parasite, bacterial imbalances,inflammation, and all these things can be controlled by the gut quite adequately. butremember that the brain controls the gut to a huge degree.check out my videos i've done on vagus nerve. i'm sure i've done some videos on the vagusnerve. that will explain about the gut/brain connection. when you understand this, you'regoing to know more than your medical doctor knows about recovery. you don't need a magicwand to understand why you're not recovering. if you've got the best diet on the planetand you're not recovering, this is what you need to understand is point eight. failingto understand the relationship with stress, how your adrenals function to a degree anddigestion. try to look at some videos i've

completed around this topic. because thiscould be the big one for you. number nine. being the food police. what doi mean by being the food police? if you're in a relationship with somebody and by lookingat them and thinking that your diet's perfect, "why are you eating that for? stop drinkingthat coco-cola. put that chocolate bar away. it's going to kill you." so being the foodpolice is trying to control other peoples' diets, friends, or family around you, as wellas controlling your own. don't be a bully. nobody likes bullies around the house. don'tbully other people. keep your thoughts to yourself. don't be one of these � i wouldn'tsay bible bashing � i'd say candida bashing people. do you like it if someone comes aroundknocking on your door trying to convert the

way you eat? you get sick and tired of them.you tell them to get lost. so don't become the food police. don't think you can changeother people. you have to change yourself first. and when you change yourself, otherpeople will change. i learned that one a long time ago.number ten. taking lots of dietary supplements along with your candida diet in the hope ofa quick 24-hour cure. well, it isn't going to happen. remember, check out my video onhow to cure candida in 24 hours. it's had a lot of views. a lot of peeved off peoplelooking at it who felt it was switch and bait. they felt they got ripped off with the title.you can't cure candida in 24 hours! i've said this 100 times. maybe i need to take off allmy clothes, jump up and down on a table, and

do a video on this because i really want toget the message out there. it's impossible to cure candida quickly. it doesn't happen.you can't cure any disease. the body has to cure itself. the body has to correct the disorderthat it's created. and it will do so by you giving it the right conditions. plenty offresh water, breathing properly, lots of rest, all these sorts of things need to occur.supplements do help, but remember, supplements are a very small part of candida recovery.i don't want people taking tons and tons of supplements. it's a waste of money and time.you only need to take a very small, few select supplements, along with a carefully planneddiet and remember the lifestyle. as i said, 75 percent lifestyle, 25 percent diet. supplementsyou take are a minority of treatment. you

don't need to take any more generally thantwo or three supplements at the most. some patients i see take boxes of stuff. they'lltake 50/60 supplements. a waste of money. are they feeling anybody? have a look at thevideo i did. i think i did a video a while ago now on a lady who took about 65 dietarysupplements in a day. and i can remember asking her how she felt and she said, "i feel likecrap." well, it was costing her about $3,000 to $4,000 a month for all these dietary supplements.basically, what i said to her was, "have you got a garbage can?" i said, "bring it hereand let's throw them all in the garbage can and start again."supplements are important for candida, but i think i'd like you to look at quality andnot quantity. check out my canxida.com. i

created a small range of really high qualityproducts perfectly designed for complementing this kind of an approach, which i believeis one of the best around for getting people well with any kind of digestive problem.when you take products to really cleanse the gut, you want something that's broad spectrum.i often get videos of people saying, "i'm taking 30 parts per million colloidal silver.how many teaspoons per day?" or "i'm taking a garlic supplement. how many milligrams ofstandardized allicin should i take in this supplement?" or "i'm taking undecenoic acid.should i take 500 milligrams twice a day?" my reply to all of those people is "hang ona minute. why don't you take a broad-spectrum product that's got all of this stuff in itbecause it's going to not just target the

19 different candida species we commonly seein people, but it's going to target about 50/60 different kind of parasites we commonlysee. it's going to target a whole lot of different species of yeast we commonly see because wesee up to 400 species of yeast in people. it's going to target a lot of bad bacteria.bacteria that are going in transition from good to bad. it's going to help to push themback to good. it's going to create the balance again. this is what you need is a broad-spectrumproduct. when you go out hunting, i don't go out hunting,but let's say you go out hunting and you want to shoot a duck down or a bird out of thesky. i think you're better off using a shotgun than you are a handgun. would you agree? ahandgun is probably going to work, but you'd

have to be damn good at aiming and know exactlywhat you're doing. but the shotgun is just point and shoot and you've got it. and that'swhat we call broad spectrum. it's going to work much easier than something does witha very narrow focus. the shotgun is my product called canxida remove.it's got a very good broad-spectrum action. i produced it after looking at thousands ofstool tests and looking at the sensitivity panels to see what kind of natural medicineswould best target all the pathogens i found in peoples' digestive system, and that's whyi made that product. i think it's the only product of its kind on the market. it's broadspectrum. it takes a good couple of hours to breakdown in the body to release its contents.it's a tablet because i couldn't get everything

i wanted into a capsule. i had to make a tablet.and it works very, very well. so you take generally two or three per day.the second product i made is called canxida restore. now, i made that as an enzyme probioticand it perfectly complements the remove. so the remove and the restore work well together.the restore improves stomach function, pancreatic function, and duodenum function, so it improvesthe way that the digestive system works. it helps to breakdown food to a higher degree.plus, it contains the best probiotics in it that i could possibly find, and also the strainsthat i really wanted people to have with candida. the combination of these two products hasa very good restorative effect on candida. and when taken together for a period of anywherebetween two to six months, incredible improvements

will occur when you apply the right kind ofdiet and lifestyle. a long-winded reply, josh. i hope i've givenyou good enough information on this video to really help you understand some of themistakes that people make and the mistakes that you shouldn't be making. thanks for tuninginto my video today.
