The Pyramid Scheme Low Carb Documentary

Just do the exact opposite of everything the government recommends and you'll be alright.

"Check with your doctor before changing your diet" is a double edged sword if your doctor is also utilizing old knowledge based on flawed studies.

Children don't buy food, adults do. Marketing to children is emotional blackmail.

I cut out all rice, grains, pasta, cereals and potatoes six months ago. In effect, a ketogenic diet. I’ve lost 30 kg (about 70 pounds). My blood pressure and cholesterol is on point. An obesity counsellor and psychotherapist said my diet is unhealthy. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I stumbled across this documentary about four years ago now, and it absolutely changed my life. In about ten months, through an increased focus on what I ate and increased exercise, I lost about fifty pounds, and have kept it off to date. I had been trying to lose weight for maybe ten years prior, but nothing ever stuck. These days I have way more energy and have gone from struggling to run a couple kms to running ultramarathons. To the filmmakers, if you ever happen to see this, thanks for helping change my life.

this is the kind of recommendation I want from youtube

If you have to exercise to keep your weight down, the problem is your diet.

39:50 - my mum used to say, "Pay the farmer now or the doctor later." And she loved real butter. She's nearly 70 and on no med's and never sees the doctor. Same with her husband and her children. Thanks, Mum!

Started keto 8 months ago. Lost 25 pounds, high blood pressure, pre diabetes and fatty liver mysteriously disappeared. Who would of known a diet based on 70 percent fat could do that.

I’ve been avoiding processed food for about 2 years, I’ve lost a third of my body weight and have never felt better. It has to be a lifestyle change. Not a diet.

I was a bodybuilder as a young adult. However, after breaking my neck and later being shocked by 16,000 volts, I became quite sedentary. Additionally, I settled for the Standard American Diet and added doughnuts, cookies and other carbs. Now, I am diabetic and 100 lbs overweight. I started a ketogenic diet this year and have already lost over 20lbs and my blood sugar levels are normal again. I am a living testament to the message of this documentary and applaud this message. Thanks for the hard work.

When you tell people that sugar is adictive (and you insist a little), they get angry, start lying, attack you personally, etc. You know,... How alcoholics and drug addicts react.

I've come to the conclusion that if a product is endorsed by the Heart Foundation, I should avoid it like the plague.

No reputable nutritionist would consider the standard american diet healthy.

so the lesson here is, if you let the government tell us what is good for us, and be in charge of what is good for us, we will all die.

Great and easily digestible information in this film. Almost a year and a half keto for me so far. Lost over 100 lbs and never felt better.

I tried to tell my professor about the dangers of the food pyramid and how it was created by food consortiums and she said, "Oh, no, that was the last food pyramid, not this one." Eye roll. Then she proceeds to tell us about the "science" behind carbo loading. I asked her if she was familiar with the word gluconeogenesis and if there was such a thing as an essential carbohydrate and she smirked and dismissed the entire idea. We have to repeat dangerous and false information as fact to pass the test!

I used to follow a whole-foods, high-carbohydrate vegan diet and I over time I began to notice what I assume were many pre-diabetic symptoms. I felt tired all the time, particularly after eating. I eventually got into a habit of having to sleep after lunch because I physically couldn't keep myself awake. My vision became blurry, again, more noticeable after eating a heavy carbohydrate meal. I feet became numb and I noticed tingling sensations. I couldn't focus, I couldn't think straight and occasionally I became quite disoriented. I was constantly hungry. I was only 21 years old, and I was super lean. I appeared to be physically healthy looking from the outside. I exercised regularly. I never saw a doctor about this. I did my research and now I practise daily intermittent fasting and follow a still whole foods lower-carbohydrate, higher fat diet. I fast throughout the day and eat in the evening. It has totally transformed my life. I have sustained energy I never had before, I can stay focussed through the whole day and I am 1000x more productive, and I never get hungry. I don't have to worry about food all day. I can't believe I was so sick for so long without even realising. It defies 'common sense' logic. Carbs = energy. Eat three meals a day with snacks in-between. Stay away from fats. Yeah right. All of my symptoms were blood sugar and insulin related. I believe I was killing myself.

I tried this ! I went on a keto diet and then a month later I started intermittent fasting , and I can say I will NEVER go back to eating like I used too ! The weight is falling off , and my mental clarity is so amazing like sludge has been removed ! PLEASE TRY THIS ! It will make a difference . And I was a guy who thought all this kind of stuff was bullshit ! Now I’m a firm believer
