Imagine someone telling you that they would only give your diet a "B-" when you've been eating whole foods, plant-based for over 35 years?! Well, that was the average grade Rip Esselstyn's diet received from today's guest, Dr. Doug Graham. Doug is most known for developing and authoring the 80-10-10 Diet Book; which is when 80% of your calories come from carbohydrates in the form of raw fruits and vegetables, 10% comes from plant protein, and the last 10% comes from fat. Not only does he live this way, but he actually wrote the book about it back in 2006. No doubt, Doug has unconventional opinions and data on topics like whole grains, beans, oats, protein, and even mono-eating, but it was wildly educational and eye-opening. You'll learn about the history of why we eat what we do, why cooked food may not be all it's cracked up to be, and how you can level up your own plate each day.   Episode Highlights 10:30 What exactly is 80-10-10? 13:30 isn't that many carbs bad for you? Don't we need more protein? 22:30 Doug's Biggest Fans in the plant-based world 23:30 What does he love so much about raw fruit, and why is it so important? 26:05 So THAT's why they call it a “sweet tooth!” 29:00 What are examples of Doug's breakfast and lunch? 33:30 The case for eating mono-meals 36:25 Why isn't he a fan of cooked foods, including beans, and potatoes? 37:45 What do the five GENS have to do with our longevity and health? (Think: CarcinoGENic) 45:15 Are all these GENS being created in beans and potatoes as well? 47:30 “Don't Eat the Paste.” What in the world is he talking about? 50:10 What did Dr. Nathan Pritikin get wrong? 53:00 Rip gets a B- on his diet?? Are you serious? 57:10 How does he feel about frozen fruit? 57:50 This sounds freaking expensive  1:03:30 Is he a fan of drinking water?  1:04:35 How does he recommend people make this transition? 1:06:30 What's his take on fiber?  1:12:15 Protein - Why does more not necessarily mean better? 1:23:00 what age should you start 80-10-10?   Episode Resources Episode Webpage Watch the Episode on YouTube Doug Graham's Website: https://foodnsport.com  Join our PLANTSTRONG Sedona Retreat - October 9-14, 2023 To stock up on the best-tasting, most convenient, 100% PLANTSTRONG foods, including our cereals, granolas, pizza kits, broths and soups, check out all of our PLANTSTRONG products HERE.

It is widely accepted by those who follow such matters that the Waitangi Tribunal has become wildly activist. It is now, without question, a brilliant example of a decent idea gone horribly awry. As Anthony Albanese struggles to drum up support for his voice vote, which will almost certainly fail, he has looked here. In fact, many people have looked to New Zealand and our attempts over what now is many decades to rectify past wrongs. Ironically, history increasingly shows the Government's that have made the most progress have been National ones. Chris Finlayson of late and Doug Graham before him made major inroads into settlements, whereas the current Labour Government, like so much of what they do, amounts to little. Speaking of little - Andrew Little, who is in charge of treaty matters, admits as much. Anyway, the tribunal in their latest report tells the Crown off for not funding Māori adequately so they can make their claims. What makes the tribunal so activist is this sort of statement and the thinking behind it is par for the course. What is adequate? And given the system is invented, you have always needed a quid pro quo approach. What is a just settlement? Is it money, is it an apology, is it land or is it all three? Every case is individual. But somewhere along the way it's spiralled out of control. It's become an industry as individual lawyers have made millions. The tribunal seems intent on being here forever dealing with historic claims despite, if you remember, under Jim Bolger's Government there was an attempt to put a timeline on it all. That logic, by the way, still applies given its not far off 50-years-old. Surely at some point the historic claims should be registered and settled. Just how long do you need to want to rectify something you argue went wrong over 180 years ago? How many lawyers, how much research, how much funding? The path to ratification has been open since the mid 70's and we are still scrapping over funding for claims. Surely boundaries have to be drawn and timelines have to be put in place? Part of the reason the voice vote will fail in Australia is not because it's not the right thing to do, but because Albanese hasn't explained properly what he is trying to do. But also, if you look over here at a model of how to do it, it would put the frighteners up you. Good intention is one thing. A runaway train is another.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chef B, in California, sits down with her mentor, Dr. Doug Graham, who is in England, preparing to jet off to Costa Rica for one of his annual retreats. Chef B is thrilled to let you listen in on her conversation with someone who was a huge inspiration for her current raw eating foray (and the 2 recipe books that she just published on Amazon-- "Back to Nature" is mostly raw, and "Entertaining Au Naturel" is all raw-- search for "Cookbooks by Chef B" on Amazon to find them). Although Chef B has been eating "high raw" (aka mostly raw), whole food vegan since 1991 (and all organic since that was invented in the 90s), eating all raw has been another step up in feeling great, and she is very enthusiastic about it. Hear about the benefits to her digestion, waistline, energy and more. Dr. Graham illuminates the science in his cool, humble manner that is so confident, laid back, and mesmerizing to thousands of followers around the globe. His book, "The 80-10-10 Diet" had a huge impact on our host as well as most raw foodists, and even just folks who want to eat healthier. It's been a best-seller pretty consistently since its inception. It's no wonder that Dr. Graham is a sought-after speaker at all the fruit festivals around the world, as well as many retreats each year in various forms of natural paradise. While he has always been known for being extraordinarily fit (he has been a trainer to world tennis pros and NFL athletes, and more), he just started powerlifting at the age of 60. Now, as he embarks on 70, he is competing in Masters Powerlifting. This guy is incredibly inspirational!

Imagine being in the absolute prime of your life - 21 years old, going to school at Stanford to study Mechanical Engineering, playing sports for hours on end…and then, ABRUPTLY, it comes to a screeching halt when you are diagnosed with not one, not two, but three autoimmune diseases within a matter of months. Today's guest, Cyrus Khambatta, went from “soccer stud” to “chronic disease patient” in the blink of an eye when he was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, alopecia, and Type 1 diabetes in 2002.  Determined to understand everything he could about these diagnoses, especially his diabetes, he went back to school to learn the science, earning a Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from UC Berkeley. In 2020, he and his business partner, Robby Barbaro, co-authored the book, Mastering Diabetes: The Revolutionary Method to Reverse Insulin Resistance Permanently in Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, Prediabetes, and Gestational Diabetes. An educated person is an empowered person and that's our goal for today - to arm you with as much knowledge, research, and hope that you can master your diabetes with a whole foods plant-based diet that, yes, includes plenty of carbohydrates and rich diversity of luscious fruit.  Rip and Cyrus Discuss: 00:00-22:00 Cyrus's journey - How did he go from student to chronic patient in a matter of months? 22:40 Learning a new nutrition perspective from Doug Graham 27:00 Why he went back to school to find out if he was, “a freak of nature” 29:00 How can the medical establishment be so wrong with its recommendations? 33:45 Digging into the science - Let's go! 34:50 What the heck is insulin resistance? 42:20 So, if sugar doesn't always cause insulin resistance, what does? 53:20 What are the most dangerous fats and what effect do they have on insulin resistance? 57:19 The keto/paleo argument - why does it appear to work? 1:05:45 The Mastering Diabetes Way - Low Fat - 10-15% calories, 10-15% from protein, the rest should come from whole food, plant-based carbs 1:07:15 Plant-based, eat at least 90% of calories from whole plant foods 1:08:15 Keep your foods unprocessed or minimally processed 1:10:55 But, don't I need fat to feed my brain?  1:14:30 Do we need a minimum amount of fat? 1:20:00 Is diabetes a disability for Cyrus? 1:23:10 What percentage of the population is affected by the different types of diabetes? 1:29:30 Why he and Robby Barbara started the Mastering Diabetes Community 1:32:10 Is Alzheimer's now Type3 diabetes? 1:35:00 The importance of daily movement and exercise 1:42:50 What is the Hegsted equation? 1:47:10 Cyrus's thoughts on the Glycemic Index 1:53:00 What about gluten? 1:57:00 Is he a fan of caffeine? 2:01:45 What does Cyrus eat in a day? 2:04:22 What is the worst thing about having Type 1 Diabetes? 2:04:04 What is the best thing about having Type 1 Diabetes? 2:08:00 Join the Mastering Diabetes Challenge!

Introduction by Mark Dean followed by message by Doug Graham on Monday, Sept 27th at 5pm at Prayer & Fasting Retreat.

Our lives can become dominated by fear affecting our decision making (rather than relying on faith). Jesus encourages to take courage because He is with us; God is omnipresent. He has perfect power, wisdom, and love. We can be afraid of nature (like a storm), and afraid of Jesus' actions (walking on water). Through their fear they learn something about Jesus. He shows us that He has the power of the curator over the creation (is the divine son of God). Humans are compared to sheep in the Bible. Courage is the ability to do something that you're frightened of. Jesus showed courage when facing death on the cross. The Holy Spirit can reproduce this courage in our lives - we need to pray for this. We all struggle with fear, but we know that God is always working in our lives for our good.

[include file=get-in-itunes.html] Dr. Doug Graham stopped by for a very lively visit. He was calling in from England at the time and was kind enough to spend an hour of his day educating us on diet, disease and healthy living. He’s a very controversial figure in the world of health and that’s why we love […] The post Dr. Doug Graham – Why Grains Are Destroying Your Health & Why Cooking Causes Cancer appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

"We're [CSOs] all focused on this balance of being able to reduce risk while enabling the business," says Lionbridge CSO & CPO Doug Graham. But, he adds, "There's no real hard-and-fast rules about how much risk and what that recipe is." For Graham, the most concerning part about the CSO role isn't that there aren't any hard-and-fast rules about the right recipe for risk; instead, it's "making sure you've presented all the options and you haven't missed something…. Am I presenting the balance right to the rest of the leadership team so we that can make sensible decisions that are right for the company?" As for how Graham makes sure he's getting the most out of his security technology investment, "it's a case of defining our controls, measuring their coverage, and measuring their effectiveness," he says. "And I think that gives you two very simple metrics. What's my coverage? And what's the effectiveness of my controls?" Produced by IDG Communications, Inc.

I'm your host Stacey Simms, so glad to have you along. We aim to educate and inspire by sharing stories of connection when it comes to type one diabetes. My son was diagnosed right before he turned two and that was 13 years ago now. My husband lives with type two diabetes. I do not have Diabetes, but I do have a background in broadcasting in radio and television local news. And that's how you get the podcast. A lot to talk about this week, we will get to Mastering Diabetes in just a moment. But I want to give you a quick update on our experience transitioning over to tslim X2 insulin pump along with a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor. And then the Control IQ is the software that is in the pump. If you're not interested in this, if you're not using this kind of pump, or if you are on MDI or, you know, just skip ahead a few minutes. I do have time codes as always in these newer transcribed episodes for this year. So you can open the episode homepage, open the notes, and you can skip right ahead to the interview. But if you want to know about our control IQ experience, here's how it's going. We were able to get the new software very early On we got it I want to say the third week of January, we did not get it without issue. Benny's pump was one of the few that could not be updated by plugging it in. There was some issue with the software update that was already in the pump. And even everybody who had that version of the software, only a very small percentage, my understanding couldn't actually plug into the computer and update. Anyway, tandem sent us a new pump with Control IQ on it. And of course, I was to send the old pump back. So we updated immediately it started doing its thing. I will go into more detail about after a month of using it, we're going to sit down and talk about it. But Wow, it really made a difference right away. The problem was that it was tanking him he was going low, overnight, every night. And I try to not make changes until about two or three days. Right. We have to kind of see how things go. You don't want to overreact. So he went low the first three nights. And then of course we changed it because I'm talking down to 40 you know for extended periods of time. We cut way back on basal. We also cut insulin sensitivity, which really shouldn't affect it when it's in that sleep mode because the sleep mode doesn't give boluses. But we cut back on that anyway because it seemed to be having some issues with corrections during the day really making him go lower than he should have been having to suspend insulin. After that. It really smoothed out. He was using less insulin. He was in range in a very much increased amount of time. You could see his numbers were coming down. It was really cool. Even on a day where he completely forgot to bolus for a big brownie in the afternoon. He went way up, but he didn't stay up. And if you've done that, you know that at least for us, you know if you have like, I mean really, let's be honest, 50 uncovered carbs 40, 50 uncovered carbs. You're going to go up to 300 and stay there for a while. But Control IQ. He did have to bolus but Control IQ brought him down really quickly. It was great. But unfortunately, it didn't stay great. About two weeks in his pump, the brand new pump that they had just sent us with the update, gave us one of those alarms that you can't reset. Oh my goodness. So I was actually on my way out of town. That was the weekend I was heading to Maine. And Benny was going to be leaving that afternoon for the two day wrestling tournament. So again, he could have done shots, but we were just like, oh, my goodness, you know, what are we going to do? Well, I hadn't actually sent that other pump back yet. It was on my list of things to do, I promise, but I hadn't gotten around to it. So luckily, he put on the old basal IQ pump, the previous software, my husband called tandem, and you know, they went through the troubleshooting is this an alarm that can be cleared? It could not. So they overnighted another Control IQ pump, and I put return the pump on my list of things to do yet again, but then, okay, so then he is at a two day wrestling tournament. It was supposed to be one day, unless they won, which they did, which meant they went to the state championships which spoiler alert, they won. So it was two days of travel and crazy food and then celebration food. parties. Oh my goodness. And as you know if you've been listening while Benny's not actually wrestling this season, he's actually more like the manager because he hurt his knee. So he's doing great, very exciting to be a freshman and have the first school state championship for the wrestling team was very, very cool. But anyway, alright, so back to the pump situation. So then on Sunday, he's home. He's got the new control, like pump on and then early Monday morning, I want to say five o'clock in the morning, transmitter failure. Not you know, we're not sure not sensor error, not sensor failure, transmitter error for the Dexcom. So Benny turned it off. I didn't even know he just kind of clicked off and went back to sleep until six. I mean, he got one more hour of sleep. That transmitter was two weeks old. It's not supposed to crap out that early, of course. So we had to pull the sensor the transmitter put a whole new set on. Of course I called Dexcom. They replaced everything. But then we're another day really a day and a half between everything that was going on with that. Control IQ so I can say what it's working thumbs up when the technology's not working, which will happen, right? He's fine. I mean, we could always go back to shots, certainly, but who wants to do that? So little frustrating, but we moved forward. The only advice I have if you're about to start Control IQ, if you're thinking about it, if you haven't made the switch over yet, is, I would highly recommend and please talk to your endocrinologist before doing this, make the change for insulin duration, change over to five hours now, because that's not negotiable on the Control IQ system. And most of us have it set frankly, incorrectly, because we're making up for it in other ways. A lot of studies have been done in this I'm sure if you're familiar at all with Control IQ, you've heard this, but if you haven't, one of the things we did was set the insulin duration to five hours several weeks before starting. And I think it really helped us in the transition. Something to think about something to talk to your endo about and then you just Gotta be patient, make changes slowly and let it do its job. It's so hard when we're used to managing these dumb pumps, right and do this, do that and stay on top of that. To let it do its thing is very difficult.

These guys also have a podcast, Robby Barbaro and Dr. Cyrus Khambatta say, focusing on lowering insulin resistance through food is the key to living well, with all types of diabetes. Robby lives with type one. And I promise he's really not saying anything out of bounds here, like, you know, this is going to get you off insulin or this is a cure, but there are some unconventional thoughts that he shares in this interview. As always, when I talked to people who are focusing on a particular way of eating, and I do this all the time, we've talked to people who eat low carb people, you know, high fat keto, people who are making these claims on the podcast. This is not something that I verify or confirm during the interview, and do my best to give you all the information. But again, before you make any changes, please talk to your endo. I really did enjoy talking to Robby. Here's our conversation. Robby, thank you so much for joining me. I am so intrigued by everything I have read and heard. Thanks for coming on,   Robby Barbaro  10:09 Stacey. It's really an honor to be here. I love your show. And the fact that I'm getting to be on it is just really exciting to me.   Stacey Simms  10:15 Oh, thank you so much. We have so much to talk about. I have so many questions for you. But I want to start at your beginning. You had a fairly typical from what I seen onset of type one diabetes as a teenager as a tween, really, but you were diagnosed by your brother.   Robby Barbaro  10:31 Yes, it truly is a fascinating story. So I'm on January 26. That'll be the day that I have lived with Type One Diabetes for 20 years. So I was 12 just about to turn 13 and I complained to my mom, I said, Mom, I am thirsty all the time. I'm going to the bathroom all the time. I think I have diabetes, just like Steve so I have two older brothers. The middle one Steve was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes eight years prior to me and I was pretty sure I had diabetes around said no, no, I don't think you do. Don't Don't be silly. I said, Okay, fine. And then eventually, she went out of town to go look at homes in Florida where we eventually moved. So it was just myself and my middle brother at home. And she called the check in and she said, Hey, how are things going? I said, Mom, I couldn't sleep last night, I was cramping. She said, Okay, go upstairs. Use your brother's bug because meter test yourself. And I was well over 400. And my brother said, right there in there, okay. You have Type One Diabetes pack, your bags are going to be the hospital for a few nights. So we went to the regular general doctor, they ran a few tests. And I remember the doctor coming in said, Yep, you have type one diabetes, we're going to send you to the hospital. And that was the first time I had seen my brother crying, as you know, as an adult. And he said, Oh, man, just sorry. You have to experience this too. And my parents flew home the next night. And this mother thing that really stayed with me as my dad saying, Don't worry, it's just an infant. convenience, you can still do whatever you want in life. And that was really the mentality that my parents had. And really, they were very, very supportive, very encouraging. And really let myself and my brother really take charge of our diabetes care. And, you know, we were we were both already, you know, type a people that really were on top of it, and we had good medical care from the Mayo Clinic. So it didn't really crush me. You know, I really had a really supportive environment had the tools I needed, and it just began a new life with Type One Diabetes. Stacey I'm really intrigued by your brother's reaction because on the one hand here, you have a brother who's nine years older than you you look up to him, I'm sure and you see that he's probably doing pretty well with this. So on the one hand, it's okay I'm gonna be fine. But then he gets emotional. And he says for you, so that's the had to have been tough to digest as a kid, like I'm going to be okay but there is the sadness too   Robby Barbaro   12:55 play the sure the whole thing was honestly it kind of like, I can I sort of remember certain bits and pieces. I remember driving in the car and talking to my parents on the phone. And just it didn't really, it didn't hit me like I didn't kind of fully understand what was going on. But I guess I just ease into it. And at some point, I guess you just you don't really have a choice. It is what it is, you know? Yeah,   Stacey Simms  13:19 no doubt. So the years go on, I assume that you were treated more traditionally in terms of you start on insulin, you're eating particular diet, you know, your parents are keeping you busy in school. But you had other health issues as a teen   Robby Barbaro  13:35 I did. I had plantar fasciitis, which was frustrating. I was a competitive tennis player. So that's really a painful, painful feeling in your feet when you're walking and trying to run so I would wear these big blue boots at nights to try and help with passive stretching to do plantar fasciitis. I had chronic allergies are all the time, so I took Nathan x and Claritin. D and I would still get sick. As a teenager. I had cystic Acme, which was really frustrating and I tried everything microdermabrasion treatments, laser treatments, oral creams, like oral medical or eye creams for my face and oral medications. Eventually, they put me on Accutane. And that's one of the most serious drugs you can take for acne, your parents actually have to sign a waiver, because some people have committed suicide and that drug. So I also had warts on my feet. So these were just a collection of you know, frustrating, I think, standard symptoms that a lot of people have. Wow.   Stacey Simms  14:33 So when did all the fruit stuff start? When did you decide?   Robby Barbaro  14:38 I mean, I'm sorry. Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you the journey to get into the fruit stuff. So growing up, this is when I was living in Minnesota, you know, doing standard diabetes care. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota with a Vincent cloud, and we would go there and they just had a great team. We had an endocrinologist. I had a dietitian, I had a psychologist. So it was a team effort. There. And the key thing I remember learning from them was like using a log book and actually got quite good at that. But I had standard care. And my dad was into selling supplements through a network marketing company and getting exposed to what they were teaching and some of their educational material was the very beginning of me really considering Okay, wait a minute, there's something to nutrition there's something to diet outside of just following a standard American diet, not really thinking about it. So that was the beginning. And it was a slow evolution of learning. Okay, wait a minute, you know, trying to avoid additives or foods like MSG, like that's good. That's a good idea for your overall health. And I slowly progressed. Eventually, I came across many different lifestyles. But as I was on this journey of learning as much as I could, I came across a book called natural cures they don't want you to know about by Kevin Trudeau. Now, I'm not recommending this book. This guy ended up in jail. Yeah, there's, there's some things I'm not recommending it. But I came across this book, and it planted a seed in my mind that you know what, maybe it's possible to reverse type one diabetes. If I just eat as healthy as humanly possible and I take care of my body. Maybe I can put myself in such a healthy state that my body will regenerate new beta cells. And now it's just it was the theory the hypothesis. Okay, wait a minute. Like, I know other people haven't done this. But hey, somebody has to do it first. You know, for example, Roger Bannister was the first person to run four minute mile. And before he did, the smartest people in the world said that's impossible, your heart will explode. And once he did it, other people started doing it. So I do think we're gonna we're gonna figure this out at some point some way how to get beta cells to work again. Naturally, I do believe that but that's not happened. So I go down this mission of Okay, I will do anything and everything to give my body the best chance of healing itself. So I started learning about the concept of fasting. So fasting is when you when you go to bed at night, you're doing like a mini fast and you in the morning you eat breakfast you're breaking your fast and healing and regeneration happens over that time. So it's okay, you know what type of dietary habits can I do to increase the chance of my body healing itself. And this led me to try summarize, the first thing I tried was a Weston a price foundation diet, and that was eating a lot of grass fed beef. They advocate for raw milk, I remember going to farmers markets, and I would buy milk for cats because you can't sell raw milk to humans. And again, I did see some improvements as I cleaned up my diet and got rid of any sort of junk and processed food. There was definitely some improvements but I didn't see anything specific happen to my diabetes health or my insulin intake or my blood glucose control. So I continue to learn more and learn more, and eventually, I came across a dive by the name of Dr. Gabriel cousins and He was in a movie and he produced a movie called raw for 30 days. And in this movie, he showed how people following his protocol, which is essentially a plant based ketogenic diet. He didn't call it that at the time because ketogenic diets weren't really popular, but that's what it was. I would eat lots of nuts and seeds, lots of vegetables and oil. Like that's basically where my calories are coming from on this phase one, Gabriel cousins program. And you gotta remember, everything I'm doing here is with this mindset of Okay, I'm going to reverse type one diabetes, I'm going to heal this is a strong live a strong motivation. So at this point, I am a freshman in college at the University of Florida.   Stacey Simms  18:42 Okay, I'm gonna stop you right here for the question. So you're trying this experiment, you're experimenting on yourself, basically, I mean, to boil it down. And were you still seeing your endocrinologist? Were they telling you dude, you know, you're losing weight. Let's be careful was anybody giving you a push back at that point?   Right back to Robby will find out what is endo said.

Now back to my interview with Robby and I'm asking him if with all the weird things he was doing with This end of gave him any pushback.   Robby Barbaro  20:06 Okay, it's a great question. Yes, I would see my endocrinologist every three months you know, you got to get your prescriptions and whatnot. And here's the interesting part I think probably a lot of people with type one are gonna have a similar experience which is unfortunate but they never asked me about my diet. Oh my god, I kid you I kid you not I have been through except for the Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic they were very detailed. They asked me everything I need, they log it, they kept track of it, but after that, they had two different endocrinologist in Florida. And I think I've had one different one in Los Angeles and not a single one of them not a single appointment. Have they asked me exactly what foods do you eat? Not one.   Stacey Simms  20:48 You know it's interesting because I don't think our endo and Benny's a child obviously. So he hasn't really asked me what do you eat but the they sent us to a dietitian or a nutritionist years of years ago. We never really followed up but You know, he's asked us just kind of like, you know, what are you especially when he was little? What are your favorite foods? What's your favorite fruit? What's your favorite vegetable? You know, he would kind of play. He was great with kids, you know, and ask him about that. But we definitely talked about food and he knows how we eat. So that's really fascinating. All right, so you're on the sly, nobody's following up on you. You're doing fine.   Robby Barbaro  21:17 Yeah, I mean, and the thing the key thing was, I think, from the endocrinologist perspective, give them a little bit of credit, I guess, is that my a one sees were always quite good.   Stacey Simms  21:27 There was no need for them to go into.   Robby Barbaro  21:29 Yeah, exactly. There wasn't a need to like pride and how can I really help this guy? I appeared healthy. I all my other blood work was fine. My agency was fine. I think they did. Like Okay, he's doing great. Like, let's let's just call him the next patient. So at this point, this is where it gets interesting. Here's where I love to talk about the diabetes nuances because your audience because you're gonna understand this stuff. At this point. I'm a freshman at the University of Florida. And again, my mindset is how can I you know, take less and less insulin and eventually not need any That's the goal. And in hindsight, what I realize is What really matters is if you're taking lesson lessons one that's only really significant in regards to reversing type one diabetes, if you know you are also starting to produce more of your own, if your your C peptide level is increasing, if your beta cells are, you know, starting to become functional again, that would be a good thing. But in this case, I was dropping and dropping man. So I took at this point, I was taking 10 total units of insulin per day, I was using only fast acting insulin. And I was actually still doing it through MDI, which I would not recommend, but I would actually take small injections throughout the night, and I was eating 30 grams of carbohydrate per day no more than 30 grams. So my carbohydrate insulin ratio was three to one, and that's a metric of insulin sensitivity. So you can calculate your 24 hour insulin sensitivity by taking your total carbohydrate consumption, dividing it by your total insulin consumption. This was good like I was getting so excited. Eventually I reached a plateau I thought it was dropping and dropping and dropping that just fader on 10. And the problem was, I had terribly low energy and I was losing weight. That was the big problem. I couldn't keep weight on. And I was on campus, several situations I just basically blacked out, I'd have to stop, you know, that feeling of Okay, wait a minute what's going on, I have to like, recalibrate, you know, get home rest. And it was scary. So I went back to my naturopath who I'd seen throughout high school who helped me with a lot of supplements and food sensitivities, stuff like that and say, Okay, what can I do next? And she's okay, maybe you could benefit from therapy. And I was like, okay, maybe I'll do that. But it was gonna be very expensive. And I was gonna have to drive from Gainesville, Florida to Tampa, Florida, to be able to do this. And I was ready to commit to it. I would do anything to continue pursuing this path. Now, before I committed I heard a podcast and this is where the fruit comes in. So I heard a podcast from this guy, Doug grant, he's a chiropractor, and he was talking about how people who eat you know, healthy diets and you know, the fruit, that that can actually also help detoxify your body like the nutrient, the nutrient density can help your body eliminate, you know, heavy metals and toxic substances. So I'm like, Okay, wait a minute, this guy's tell me I get to eat all this fruit. He's telling me it's going to have these healing properties. This sounds a lot more exciting than doing the collation therapy. So I'm going to give this a shot. And that was the beginning of the journey of eating fruit. So this guy, this guy, Doug Graham, he teaches basically, you know, basically a fruitarian diet to a certain extent, I would not cannot comment on fruitarian I don't think I follow a fruitarian diet, but I started working with him. And in this is September of 2006, in December of 2006, is when his book comes out. And I read the book straight through and one of the testimonials in the back of the book is my my co founder of Mastering Diabetes, Cyrus Khumbatta. So his testimonials in the back he's also living with Type One Diabetes. He had this amazing transformation of his health and his insulin. sensitivity. And I was blown away. So I go Google his name. I learned some more. I see pictures of him on the internet like, wow, this guy's ripped. He's fit like, this is awesome. I'm really optimistic. I'm going to do this. And so I started working with Dr. Graham and I start eating lots and lots of fruit like literally the first week Ain't nothing but bananas. The second week, I hate bananas and lettuce. And then I continue to add model meals of fruit like this is the beginning I even much differently now. But   Stacey Simms  25:26 I can't wait to hear because this sounds horrible, but go ahead.   Robby Barbaro  25:30 It was really as kind of like, it was like an elimination diet to a certain extent. This is around Christmas time now of 2006. And I remember my, my grandmother was was in town for the holidays. And I come down to the Christmas Day meal and I literally have a pyramid of bananas. We're talking four bananas on the bottom and three then to the one true pyramid of ripe bananas. And that's how they eat for Christmas dinner. They were just shaking their head like this. They were kind of laughing and thinking this is not going to last so No I cuz they've seen me try a lot of different diets over the years and a little bit No, it's it's basically lasted for for 13 years now but again, here's the change the changes that I started eating all this fruit, you would think that I would then need absurd amounts of insulin to eat all this fruit so I'm eating nowadays 600 700 sometimes 800 grams of total carbohydrate per day, and the insulin I'm injecting is somewhere between like 25 and 35 units I mean, depending on how active I am, depending how consecutive my fitness has been, but like I have some Instagram story how so people can see all the details recently, it's actually been under 30 units. But the here's the the percent change. If you can't do the math of that say, like little over 30 units per day and like 700 grams carbohydrate, you're going to come up with a 24 hour insulin sensitivity ratio somewhere around like 22 to 124 the 126 to one that is a 600% change in total this instant sensitivity going from three to one to 25 221 so I'm eating all of this carbohydrate energy, but I'm not needing excessive amounts of insulin, I'm actually using a physiological normal amount of insulin. I think that's an important goal for people living with Type One Diabetes is to live a lifestyle where the insulin you're injecting is close to what your pancreas would have normally been succeeding prior to being, you know, having beta cells and not working properly.   Stacey Simms  27:28 Wait, wait, let me stop you there, because and I had lots of questions about the food. But what you're saying about the normal amount of insulin is not what I was taught. I was always taught that if my son didn't have diabetes, his pancreas would produce whatever amount of insulin he would need. So I mean, let's say you know, we're not talking about someone who's going to spend 20 years eating high fat foods, fast foods, people cupcakes every day. Let's say someone who has you know what kind of an everything in moderation diet, wouldn't their body just produce whatever amount of insulin they would need? Or have I? Is there a study or something that says no, no, you should only be producing 30 units of insulin a day?   Robby Barbaro  28:06 So it's a great question. It's an important question. So there is research that shows how much insulin a healthy human will produce, you know, over a 24 hour period, and it's somewhere between, you know, 25 and 50 units per day. That's fascinating.   Stacey Simms  28:22 I'll have to look those up. Because I really didn't realize there was a, you know, kind of a standard or normal, I just thought it was okay, if you're eating this, then that's what your body does. If you're a teenager, then this is what your body puts out if you're pregnant.,   Robby Barbaro  28:36 Absolutely. No, there's like there's definitely a range. And you know, this definitely goes into the whole research of insulin resistance and what's happening in pre diabetes and type two diabetes and you know, doctors who monitor fasting insulin levels and sort of markers like bad or to get an idea of somebody's state of health, which, again, I think it's an important conversation. That's not happening. often enough in the type one world, which is the fact that we actually can very easily monitor our insulin sensitivity type ones are the most fascinating test subjects for insulin sensitivity on a meal by meal basis. And that's sort of why part of the reason Cyrus are so passionate about what we do is because as people living with Type One Diabetes, we live, eat, sleep, and breathe insulin sensitivity on a millennial basis. And we know that that is the solution to people living with pre diabetes and type two diabetes that is the cause of their condition. It's insulin resistance. If you can learn how to reverse that and maximize insulin sensitivity and be able to utilize insulin that your pancreas is still producing, then they can just become free of diabetes. And this has been shown in peer reviewed research for almost 100 years now.   Stacey Simms  29:56 Okay, so let's go back to the food because If you told me that I was going to eat a pyramid of bananas, or Ooh, maybe add some lettuce, I would tell you that's not happening. Get out of the car, we're done. So tell me a little bit more about what you eat on a day to day basis, if you don't mind and I won't, you know, we all well, I won't judge I'm just going to say, tell me a little bit more about what you eat on a day to day basis.   Robby Barbaro  30:23 It's such an important question and I will get to what I eat. But I first I want to start off with the passion and understanding that satisfy both have for making sure that people who decide to you know follow our program or join our coaching program. Absolutely love every single meal. Like we are very passionate about that and we really work with people about getting specific feedback about the types of foods they like the texture, you know, the different flavors to add and like there's so many different ways to do this. You know, low fat plant based whole food approach that we're talking about. So we've actually put it into a very simple, easy to follow like traffic light system.   Stacey Simms  31:08 Okay, so tell me about that a meal about like a client would eat perhaps rather than what you're obviously able to limit yourself in certain ways.   Robby Barbaro  31:17 Yeah, so So basically, it's going to come down to picking specific ingredients. So we have a green light yellow light red light category. So the green light foods include fruits, starchy vegetables, lagoons, intact whole grains, then you have leafy greens, non starchy vegetables, herbs, and spices, and mushrooms, those are all the foods in the green light category. And any given meal we teach people can include any combination of those ingredients that they desire. And the reason they're green light on our program is because those are all they're very nutrient dense, they're high in water content, they're high in fiber, those are not unprocessed foods, and they also are low in their fat content. So that's really the key of what we're doing here. That's why I can eat so many grams of carbohydrate and not need an excessive amount of insulin and actually just use a physiological normal amount of insulin. It's because we have reduced our fat intake.   Stacey Simms  32:09 Okay, so give me an example of a green light meal like break it down, I'm looking at my plate what's on it.   Robby Barbaro  32:14 So for breakfast, you're going to have one to four of your favorite fruits. So this could be berries, pears, mangoes, papaya, bananas, you name it for your favorite fruits, then you're gonna have some some greens or non starchy vegetables. So it could be lettuce could be a rula. It could be cucumbers, could be zucchini, stuff like that. And also ground flaxseed or ground chia seed in order to make sure you meet your essential fatty acid requirements as an insurance policy. So just by having a small amount of those ground up, you literally automatically right then and there just in your breakfast meal have met your essential fatty acid requirements, even though it's not completely necessary because if you eat enough calories from Whole Foods You would also meet your requirements, but we're sort of doubling up and giving people an insurance policy. So fruit is our primary recommendation for breakfast. You can also have things like, you know, hash browns for breakfast, or, you know, this being breakfast dishes, there's a variety of things their lunch would include, for most people, much more starch, heavy meal. So that's things like potatoes, butternut squash, like a bean stew, something like that. But again, it's going to also have vegetables going to have herbs and spices going on, sometimes mushrooms, the after like a dinner meal. And again that that afternoon meals, the starch focus is allowing people to eat the bulk of their energy at that meal because that's when people are most active. And then you didn't have like a snack in the afternoon fruits a great snack, you know, potatoes are great snack, stuff like that. And then dinner would include, again, there's going to be a starch component of being component, maybe a fruit component, but it's going to be heavier on Vegetables because we are not as active in the evening most of us and that's a good time to really focus on the vegetable nutrient density. And then again like people could have like a dessert like a fruit based dessert. I like have something like an ice cream or something you take banana as you put it through a blender, combine it with some wild blueberries and you have it's really amazing it's delicious. So they're very simple meals like and again everything is is whole that's the that's the really the key nuance if somebody wants to like truly do it 100% but I also want to emphasize you don't need to do and hundred percent to get the results but that's unrefined whole ingredients combined into bowls. That's really how it goes. Right got   Stacey Simms  34:41 That's very, very eye opening. That's very clear. Thank you. But I have to ask I know a lot of people listening said potatoes hash browns arm people with diabetes, not supposed to be able to eat that.   Robby Barbaro  34:51 So, again, this is this is the fun part about talking to people. You know, there's many people living with type one, type two The fact that we get to test our blood glucose on niobium basis makes this condition very unique. So if somebody has heart disease or they have cancer, they can't really see that, did things get better or worse based on that specific meal, you don't really know they don't have a key metric. So I'm sure a lot of people listen to the show, have eaten a potato, eaten a starch, heavy meal, eaten some bananas, and they just saw their blood glucose skyrocket, and they're like, man, how is this guy robbing? that food is not the reason that I just saw my glucose meter go to 202 5300. And here's the deal. This is the eye opener. What's happening in that case, is you're likely again, this could be nuances around insulin timing, which I will get into for type one diabetes, but in general, let's say we're talking about type two. The reason that when you ate the banana you ate the chemo. You saw a bug because is because you're living with insulin resistance. It's because what you ate prior to that meal, which has brought about the state of insulin resistance, and what that is, insulin resistance is when your body is struggling to take glucose out of your bloodstream and into your cells. All right, and this is caused the primary cause is when there is fat stored in cells that are not designed to store fat. So your adipose tissue is designed to store fat, okay, you're supposed to have a little bit of fat in your muscle and a little bit of fat and visceral liver cells. But when you have excess, it inhibits the function of insulin, okay, influence sociopaths open the door and allow glucose to go everybody stream into yourself. When that function is not working. Your blood glucose level goes up and up and up. And that's what's happening and pre diabetes and type two diabetes that's the cause. Now, this is also a major problem for people living with Type One Diabetes Type 1.5 diabetes and insulin dependent type two. So the insulin we're injecting in Is it working as efficiently or properly, and that is the resolve. That is why a high carbohydrate meal will result in a high blood glucose reading. So as you begin to lower the fat in your diet, and these cells that have fat that's not supposed to be there starts to get cleared out, all the sudden insulin works again. So for me, I mean, for example, I just again, I'm on this whole crazy for people but I just had a lunch today that was 230 grams of carbohydrate at one meal. And I know that's more carbohydrate than some low carb people would eat an entire week. So I had mangoes I had white supposed to I had my Mesa potay I had spinach, I had a ruler, that was my lunch, I injected 4.5 units of insulin for that meal. And then I can see on my Dexcom I can see the profile it goes up, you know, maybe 131 40 comes right back down. And this is insulin sensitivity in action and anybody listening to the show can absolutely do an experiment and test that themselves and begin to observe. How can I make insulin work more efficiently in my body, it truly comes. It's wildly simple. It's wildly simple. It truly does come down to how many grams of fat you consuming per day. And we encourage people to use nutrition software to just observe this, just just gather data, just become consciously aware of how much fat you're consuming, and most people will are. It's very eye opening. It's very eye opening fat is hidden, it's hidden everywhere. And a lot of the packaged foods, a lot of simple foods have added fat to them. And it's coming in the form of oils in a lot of cases. And I'm in simple plant foods like avocados, nuts and seeds. They have a lot of fat in a very small quantity. So we're teaching is to have people not consume more than 30 grams of total fat per day. Another metric is to not exceed 15% of total calories coming from fat. Once you meet either one of those thresholds, you will absolutely positively see your insulin sensitivity improved. And again, I know in human biology, like there's a lot of complexities a lot of nuances in science, but this one is truly black and white. I have never seen one single exception in the hundreds of type ones that we've worked with thousands of people but hundreds of type ones. I have never seen a single exception of somebody increasing their whole carbohydrate content of their diet, while simultaneously decreasing the fat and not see an objective improvement insulin sensitivity they will eat more total grams carbohydrate and they will inject less insulin every single time and it will happen in a matter of days. So we run to me seed every time with retreats.   Stacey Simms  40:00 I just have to ask you. So the flip side of that is the very popular, low carb high fat diet where you're not supposed to have more than 30 grams of carbohydrates in a day. I thought that fat kept you fuller, right isn't important to have enough fat in your diet so that you feel seated.   Robby Barbaro  40:19 Okay, this is a such a fascinating cover. so important. So we wrote about this in detail in our book. And we have a whole section on calorie density and satiety. And the leader in this whole field of research is Barbara rolls at Penn State University. And she has done hundreds of studies on satiety. These are very complex studies to try and study human society and change the macronutrients of various foods is actually quite difficult. When you read the study design. You're like, wow, that's that was brilliant and very, very complicated, but it's fascinating research. And what she has found she wrote a book called volumetrics, which I'm sure many people heard about it was actually just ranked as far as like one of the best diets for 2020   Stacey Simms  41:05 volumetrics. I remember covering this like 20 years ago, the and I, what I remember from it the most is that it was all about you eat the same volume of food every day. So maybe if you had like more soup, you know, we're more healthier. So you're getting   Robby Barbaro  41:20 Yes, you're getting hit this. So the cover of the book is a bowl of soup, because her research is that society is basically water plus fiber, its bulk. It's those two things combined, which you didn't research of them isolated, like just drinking water alone does not have the same impact on society as when you have the water in a whole food with the fiber. So your point is very valid though, because So what I'm saying is there's a lot of research to point towards the diet that we're teaching here being very satisfying because of the bulk that's included the water and the fiber in every meal. So it's definitely satisfying Don't worry about that. But again, your point is valid. There are a lot of people who are doing a ketogenic diet. They're not, you know, following those principles and having a lot of bulk, but they are staying quite satisfied. So there there is an element of truth there. But when you look at the and again, that's anecdotal stuff, which I know we both heard, I have not seen much research, peer reviewed published research on that specific topic. So I think there's more to be studied. And I honestly want to have set up a podcast interview with Barbara rolls, just to ask her that specific question.   Stacey Simms  42:34 So funny, because I was a health reporter for a lot of my career. And I remember volumetrics and I drank a lot of soup. I remember it. So before I start wrapping this up, I do want to ask you, I know that your goal initially, as you said, was to try to reverse type one diabetes, right? What's going to cure this for me? And obviously you haven't stopped taking insulin. You're not at all telling people to do that. But when you look at how you're living, and What this plan and your partnership with Cyrus has led you to? Is that still in the back of your mind?   Robby Barbaro  43:06 It absolutely is in the back of my mind that we got to figure this out. There's so it just, I mean, Stacy, do you agree? Like, it doesn't seem that complicated? I mean, why can't we beta so why can't we just go? Like, like stem cells die all the time. And then there's new stem cells that create new ones, why the beta cells so difficult to recreate?   Stacey Simms  43:28 I'm not smart enough to know but I do think it's a lot more complicated. I mean, no autoimmune disease has yet been cured. So I'm very very very hopeful Don't get me wrong, but yeah, I don't I don't know that diet alone You know, of course will ever do it but I'm very the things you mentioned right there. I'm very, very hopeful about but are you still feeling like you're the walking experiment?   Robby Barbaro  43:50 So I couldn't agree more that my after 13 years of doing this, and you know, hitting plateaus of insulin use on two different approaches. I think it's good. I'll be more than diet as well, for sure. And I, hey, I would love to be the experiment like the first person that makes makes it happen. I would love for some miracle to happen. But yeah, it's it's definitely in the back of my mind. But I will definitely say it's not as much as the forefront as it was in the beginning. So the back of my mind is really the appropriate way to describe it. I think about it. I certainly try and be active in the community of researchers who's looking into this and learn from some of their research and glean insights. And I just I want to participate.   Stacey Simms  44:31 Excellent. So the book Mastering Diabetes is for everybody with all different types of diabetes. It's not just about type one, right?   Robby Barbaro  44:39 So the answer is yes. And it's really for people who are living with insulin resistance. So that's everybody with pre diabetes as everybody with type two diabetes, that's people living with gestational diabetes, and that's majority of people living with type one is 1.5 diabetes, and it's also people who don't have Diabetes yet. So in America, we have over 80 million people living with pre diabetes that don't even know it. And there's also a nurse, a big chunk of people who are living with insulin resistance who haven't gotten to type two diabetes or pre diabetes yet. So insulin resistance is really at the core of what we're teaching here. And the reason is, is because insulin resistance is the central node for a wide range of chronic health conditions. So when you're living with insulin resistance, you're increasing your risk for heart disease, for cancer, for chronic kidney disease for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, for rectal dysfunction, for depression. It's a long, long list of unfortunate conditions that are associated in some resistance. And that's part of the reason we're passionate about getting this message out to the Type One Diabetes community as well because we don't die of high blood glucose readings. We die of the complications of diabetes, number one being heart disease. So inside this book, we also cover the science and research of people who've actually been able to reverse heart disease and that whole connection between maximize your insulin sensitivity for your long term health, but also for your short term health in having more energy for getting rid of brain fog, for reaching your ideal weight. It really truly does come back to this one simple concept. If you can focus on how to maximize your insulin sensitivity, you are setting yourself up for success in the short term and the long term. So the subtitle of the book is the revolutionary method to reverse insulin resistance permanently in type one, type 1.5 type two, pre diabetes and gestational diabetes.   Stacey Simms  46:43 I'm really excited to learn more about you and you know, hopefully down the road we can have Cyrus on the show as well. But one more question before I let you go. What are you having for dinner tonight?   Robby Barbaro  46:52 Okay, so tonight I'm going to tell you exactly how   Robby Barbaro  46:55 I enter it into nutrition software. I personally enjoy and My food into nutrition. I like dialing in the ratios I really really enjoy the confidence Okay, this is exactly what I'm having. And I feel really confident in this specific dose of insulin. And for people who don't like using nutrition software, we advocate this idea of go to meals and you sort of know this intuitively as a type one mom but you make certain meals that you've you already know the carbohydrate concept is the same thing. It's one it's this apple, it's this potato it's this But whatever it is, it's some combination of these you know ingredients and I know this amount equals this many carbohydrates this my grams carbohydrate, and you know, we can know what to do so dinner tonight is going to include lettuce or rubella, oranges, mangoes, papayas, and carrots, and it's going to be a total of 110 grams of carbohydrates. And I will also add that this meal is going to have 2.6 grams of fat And it's all by itself naturally without having to add any specifically high fat foods. And in the book, we also go into detail about how much fat you need to absorb fat soluble vitamins. And the research on that is really fascinating. So I hope people check it out. Excellent. Well,   Stacey Simms  48:18 thank you so much for joining me. It's absolutely fascinating. I'm thrilled to have you on To learn more, because I've seen pictures of the fruits and the plates and the you know, I haven't seen the banana pyramid. But I've seen lots of stuff online. So I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it. Thanks for coming on.   Robby Barbaro  48:34 It's great to connect with you. And I really appreciate you having me on. Thanks again.   Robby Barbaro  48:43 You're listening to Diabetes Connections with Stacey Simms.   Stacey Simms  48:49 I will link up more information on the things we talked about including some studies and some insulin resistance stuff that you might find interesting. I gotta tell you though, I was distracted. A lot once early in the interview and he was talking about bananas and he didn't tell him this I probably should have. I hate bananas. I hate them so much. I don't like the way they smell and like the way they feel I can't stand them. I do like banana bread. It's not the flavoring so much I guess when I think about it, although it's only banana bread. I don't like banana flavored candy. I don't like banana flavored ice cream. So when he kept talking about that, I was like, oh, enough. Okay, so I will link up more about Robby and Cyrus and their podcast and their book at Diabetes Connections.com up next Tell me something good but first Diabetes Connections is brought to you by Dexcom. And when you have a toddler diagnosed with type one like we did. You hear rumblings for a long time about the teen years everybody dreads that. But you know it hit us at full force a little bit early. I was so glad we had Dexcom Benny's insulin needs started going way up around age 11. And he has grown. I don't know, seven inches. In the last four years, along with all those hormones swings, I can't really imagine managing diabetes during this crazy time. Without the Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring system, we can react more quickly to highs and lows, see trends and adjust insulin doses with advice from our endocrinologist. I know using the Dexcom G6 has helped improve Ben he's a one C and overall health. If your glucose alerts and readings from the G6 do not match symptoms or expectations, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. To learn more, just go to Diabetes Connections.com and click on the Dexcom logo.   I always ask for good news stories in the Facebook group. It is Diabetes Connections, the group I really hope you can join us there if you're not there already. I love how the group is going very supportive. We talked about the podcast a bit but it's not just about that. So please come check it out and you know, find people That are well educated and smart and fun and living their best lives with diabetes. This week's Tell me something good is a story I read in another Facebook group actually and asked if I can share and Cindy said yes. So let me read you her post. “Hi, I want to tell you about something I'm very excited about. I'm a scuba diver and an underwater photographer. I've been diving since 1985. I have over 1700 dives, but I got diagnosed with type one. Last June of 2019. I was concerned about ever diving again. That was my first question for the doctors. we dive in remote places we dive for weeks when we go but we went ahead and booked a trip in the Philippines. In January for three weeks we have been here before we know the manager we know a lot of the divers” so she had a whole plan included wearing a Dexcom she was going to wear the Libra sensor as a backup. She brought in meter of course as a backup. She was wearing her Pump tantum pump went out of the water between dives, and bringing long acting pens for a backup. Here's what she did 56 dives in three weeks, dives were 60 to 75 minutes each. Each dive was 50 to 100 feet deep. She tried to get her blood glucose to about 140. Before going into the dive, she only missed one dive because of being low. She had to wait for numbers to trend up on another one. She did carry orange juice and snacks on the boat. She did plug in a few times to the pump to correct and she ran higher than she usually did, which you really didn't worry about. I'm so glad to hear this because it was her first time diving and overall her nights were nicely in range. So she says “here is the exciting news.” Her Dexcom worked great. She had it kind of stuck under the wetsuit with a patch. She did a couple things to kind of keep it on but it didn't come loose. The Libra also didn't come loose. You put a patch over She let everybody on the boat know that she had diabetes. She wanted to make sure that people around her were informed. Her friend and her husband would check in every single time she was about to go under with, you know, what's your number. She also carried a tube of jelly. She says you can get this on Amazon a tiny tube of sugary jelly. You can break the tip off and squirt some in your mouth regulator and all that scuba gear, the regulator. She does give a little bit of advice for other divers here. I mean, she was a diver for 35 years before she was diagnosed. This is a post in the type one diabetic athletes group on Facebook. But if you'd like to get in touch with Cindy, if you have questions, I have a feeling she'd be more than happy to help you out and I would be more than happy to connect you. If you're thinking about scuba diving and you haven't done it before or you are interested in getting back on the wagon if you've been diagnosed. She says that she really wants people to get back in the swing of it. She also says I'm not telling you how to manage your Diabetes underwater or telling you Dexcom works perfectly underwater. I'm just sharing my experience and excitement of being able to do what I love to do. And she posted a bunch of pictures. I will I'll share a couple of these in the Facebook group. I think this is excellent advice and I'm just so happy that somebody was able to get back to doing what they love after being diagnosed with diabetes because that's what we tell our kids right you can do anything. But you know, it can be complicated. So way to go Cindy, this is fantastic. I'm so excited for you. And the picture she posted of the fish and some of the underwater stuff is breathtaking. Let me know if you have a Tell me something good story. It can be anything like this. It can be a milestone with your kids. It can just be something that is good news for our community. Email me Stacey at Diabetes Connections. com or posted on Facebook. Just tell me something good.   A huge thank you to everybody who has posted recently about the world's worst Diabetes mom, as I travel more and do this book tour, it is just incredible to hear everybody else's worst stories. I mean, we all have them. And to learn what the what the book is beginning to mean to a lot of people, I did have some interesting feedback. When I went to Maine, they've given it to their clinic, they the group that I spoke with, bought some copies, and gave it to their local pediatric endocrinology group to give to some newly diagnosed families, which I thought was fantastic. If that's something you're interested in. If you have a clinic, or a diabetes office, or a group that is interested in having books on hand, obviously you can buy them and give them out. But please get in touch with me. Because when it's a situation like that, I'm sure we can figure something out either discounted pricing or, you know, maybe we can find something I'm pretty good with sponsors. And I'd love to make the book available to more people and that hadn't occurred to me that clinics might want it. So if you're in I was interested or if you're a health care professional and you're listening, if you're a CDE, please let me know. I'd love to start working things out. I'm going to work on this on my site as well. But just let me know. Coming up in March, I'm going to be in Wilmington, North Carolina, Winston Salem, North Carolina, and then out to Indianapolis. Can't wait to meet so many of you, as you listen and as you read, boys this fun. thank you as always, to my editor, John Bukenas from audio editing solutions. Thank you so much for listening. In a couple of days. We've got our mini episode that airs on Thursday, and this week, I am going to be talking about when a child has a fear of diabetes, when you know, we tell our kids Oh, won't hold you back. But what happens when a parent tells a little kid No, it's not gonna hold you back and the kid says, I'm scared. I think it will hold me back and I don't want to do this new activity. This was a heartbreaker. So we're going to talk about it and kind of find out what to do. Alright, I'm Stacey Simms and I'll see you back here on Thursday.   Robby Barbaro  57:03 Diabetes Connections is a production of Stacey Simms media.

This is an extremely in-depth, VERY intriguing conversation between myself and Doug Graham (author of the 80-10-10 Diet) about the benefits of fasting, intermittent fasting, and […] הפוסט Fasting, Intermittent Fasting, Binge Eating, and Extreme Rest הופיע ראשון בNever Binge Again

Doug Graham shares the lesson of this parable. To Jesus' Jewish audience this parable would have been shocking as the Pharisees were held in high esteem and tax collectors were shunned. Jesus was teaching that one could do all the religious activities and still behave in a way that's not pleasing to God. God cares about our hearts. When one becomes self-righteous it will lead to contempt for those Jesus died to save. Pride/Arrogance/Conceit - this leads to feeling self-satisfied in one's own works rather than relying on God. Humility - an honest assessment of one's self, to see that we all need God. Grace - unmerited favour. The church is not for the religiously elite but a hospital for the spiritually poor.

In this episode I speak with Dr. Doug Graham about the 80/10/10 Diet. Doug has been a big influence on my life and journey towards a raw vegan diet. We speak about the chemical reactions that occur in cooked food, hybridized fruit, intestinal health and more!

 http://www.NeverBingeAgain.com Impact Of Eating Right http://learntruehealth.com/impact-eating-right/ Most of us shrug off the importance and impact of eating right. With my returning guest today, we covered things like binge eating and strategies on how to eat as well as develop willpower. Today, Dr. Glenn Livingston is back on the show to talk about our relationship with food as well as the impact of eating right towards achieving a good mental and emotional health. Helping People Dr. Glenn Livingston, not a medical doctor, but rather a psychologist. So, he’s genuinely a good resource person who could expound on how the impact of eating right can benefit us in so many ways. Dr. Glenn Livingston helps people on all sorts of diets. I suggest that everyone must sign up for his newsletter as well as download his free Never Binge Again book from his website. He is a raw vegan. And when Dr. Glenn Livingston works with people, he does it the context of a coach. Rarely does he talk about his diet. He says this is because people are most likely going to become resistant if they think they had to be a raw vegan like Dr. Glenn Livingston. Raw Vegan Diet Dr. Glenn Livingston eats almost entirely fruits and vegetables. He gets enough protein and calcium which he says made him feel stronger, sleep better, normalize his blood pressure, as well as made his psoriasis and eczema disappear. “I have no problem staying relatively thin, and I have no tremendous carb or salt cravings. It’s something I have evolved into over the course of so many years,” shares Dr. Glenn Livingston.  He adds, “Every time I got rid of some industrially processed food, I ask myself what authentic physiological, biological need I have for these foods. And I start to train myself to crave for healthier things.”  Foods To Avoid Dr. Glenn Livingston believes that food has been demonized, along with all of the processed carbohydrates. Knowing the impact of eating right is essential now more than ever. We must fix our relationship with food before it’s too late. “I’m very much not in favor of people indulging in a lot of starch and sugar. It’s a big part of the downfall of our health and society,” Dr. Glenn Livingston said. “The American Diabetic Association does not encourage you to limit fruit or whole food. There’s a lot of fear and demonization of fruit in particular.” Dr. Glenn Livingston also reveals that there’s another culprit people are not paying attention to. He says fat acts as an insulator. Studies show that unfortunately, 30 to 40% of the American diet contains fat. “If you drop it down to the 10% range, the uptake transport and absorption of sugar and oxygen are dramatically better. You’ll notice this in your ability to breathe better, and your performance at the gym improves dramatically,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. “Cardiovascular performance will also improve. It’s incredible we’re not aware we are creating problems by putting so much fat in our system.” Mother’s Experience When Dr. Glenn Livingston was 15 years old, his mother had some few cancerous tumors in her uterus. She saw an alternative healer who suggested going on a vegan diet instead of having a hysterectomy. Dr. Glenn Livingston’s mother was not even 40 years old when she was diagnosed, so she also hesitated to have the surgery done. Deciding to go on a vegan diet for six months, her tumors reversed, and she eventually didn’t have to have a hysterectomy. From that point on, Dr. Glenn Livingston was determined to become a vegan, too. Dr. Glenn Livingston’s mother eventually went off on the vegan diet and lived for another 35 years later or so before she passed away. But Dr. Glenn Livingston was already convinced that there was something special about the vegan diet, although he strayed from the vegan diet during his college years.  Finding The Right Diet Dr. Glenn Livingston recalls coming across a book in graduate school about cancer. It reminded him of the vegan connection that’s why he decided to go back to a vegan diet. But he still didn’t understand everything back then. Labeling himself a junk food vegan then, Dr. Glenn Livingston thought eating pasta, candy, and fried foods were okay as long as it wasn’t animal products. Not surprisingly, he didn’t get very healthy on that diet. Dr. Glenn Livingston married a year after that, although he’s divorced now. He shares that he was married to a woman who was brought up in a deli and the Atkins diet was gaining popularity that time. But his ex-spouse apparently had a friend who was studying nutrition and advocated a low carb diet. Unfortunately, Dr. Glenn Livingston, couldn’t stick to the diet. He couldn’t seem to achieve the impact of eating right, so he wasn’t really in tip-top shape during his 30s and 40s. Constant Research Dr. Glenn Livingston kept reading books in the hope that he could find the right kind of diet for him. He came across The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. The book explained the author’s research in China, where they looked at the correlation between the different health conditions and diet.  “Cancer was very much associated with the level of animal protein that people had. If people can keep their level of animal protein under 5%, they would have virtually no cancer whatsoever,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. Dr. Glenn Livingston also started to look for some books about vegan nutrition. He came across Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who was advocating against animal protein. Incidentally, Dr. Joel Fuhrman was a former guest in one of my episodes. I was hooked on meat before and took me a while to come around. Dr. Joel Fuhrman was very thorough in explaining everything about animal protein. I love his very science-based approach towards making a diet. Dr. Glenn Livingston also cited the book Proteinaholic: How Our Obsession with Meat Is Killing Us, by Dr. Garth Davis and Howard Jacobson. The book is about the science of protein addiction and why we don’t need it. “Our muscles are supposed to produce these energy-giving substances, but when you eat animal protein, the body stops producing those substances,” Dr. Glenn Livingston explains. “When you stop eating meat, people feel exhausted. They don’t feel well because it takes a while for their muscles to upregulate and start producing it again.”  He adds, “That’s why people think they need it. Same for sugar. But food cravings will go away quicker than you think, usually within four days.”  Seeing A Change Dr. Glenn Livingston says that although he got healthy following a low protein diet, he still had little psoriasis. Plus, he still had weight issues. But now that on a raw vegan diet, Dr. Glenn Livingston’s health significantly improved. He finally felt he was on the right track after seeing the impact of eating right. According to Dr. Glenn Livingston, Victoria Boutenko’s book (Green Smoothie Revolution) on raw foods is a good resource for making green smoothies. He drinks green smoothies especially during the days when he craves for chocolate. Dr. Glenn Livingston persevered and kept trying different green smoothie recipes. It’s not the same high compared to eating chocolate, but the craving would go away. After a few months, he noticed his craving started to shift to green smoothies! “I always believe these cravings that we think we can’t live without, there’s an authentic biological reason behind it,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. Fruits And Vegetables To better understand the benefits of incorporating fruits and vegetables into your diet, Dr. Glenn Livingston recommends Dr. Doug Graham’s 80/10/10 diet. In formulating the 80/10/10 diet, Dr. Doug Graham says we’re meant to live on fruits and vegetables, as well as a handful of nuts and seeds. Part of the belief system is also saying we are not supposed to cook food. Because apparently, cooking creates all sorts of toxins.  It is energy-draining and has life-killing substances, so Dr. Glenn Livingston felt better eating raw. “I hired a coach, got to meet Dr. Doug Graham and attended workshops. I now speak for low-fat, raw veganism. It’s difficult to get used to. You have to eat more volume than you’re used to, and you have to commit,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. Dr. Glenn Livingston’s diet primarily consists of smoothies, lettuce, bananas, mangoes, strawberries, and sometimes dates. He also likes to make cucumber noodles topped with a sauce made of tomatoes, lemon juice, and dates which were Dr. Glenn Livingston’s significant weight loss trick. Effect On Emotional And Mental Health Dr. Glenn Livingston says when you put things into your body that your body has to recover from, it affects the physiological energy of the nervous system. Our body goes into digesting it, eliminating and isolating the toxins to deal with the enormous task that you give it. “And when all the energy is put into that, it doesn’t have the energy to conduct the emotions. So, you’re not present in the way you could be. You’re also not able to feel the emotions the way you could be,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. “And you’re not able to feel. This is why people say they need food for comfort. Because it does act as a kind of anesthetic to numb the feeling we have.”  He adds, “But I also think that there is a pleasure response, like the feeling we get with drugs. Because we’re being provided with substances that concentrates pleasurable substances.” Dr. Glenn Livingston furthermore explains that we wind up with a whole cascade of events in the nervous system that distorts and perverts its pleasurable response to natural stimuli. When you eliminate that, then people can feel, be present and ultimately, they can think. Maintaining The Willpower Dr. Glenn Livingston believes that what we are built for with our psychology, is to operate according to character. He says that when you make character statements and adopt them into what person you want to be, and how you want food to play in your life, then the obsession is less.  “There’s always the possibility of reawakening that old pathway. Our bodies are normally flexible. There’s a principle in research called neuroplasticity. Every time you have a craving, you are rewiring your brain to say, this craving equals to this food instead,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. In line with that train of thought, I had Dr. Alan Goldhammer on the show, who talked about the benefits of eliminating salt, oil, and sugar, as well as tips on how to deal with cravings. Another informative episode was with Dr. Esselstyn, a cardiac surgeon who reverses heart disease with diet. He spoke in detail ways on how to train the brain to eat natural things. “You don’t have to eat super healthy. Start with one change that has a noticeable impact on health,” said Dr. Glenn Livingston. “And more importantly, an impact and ability to make a commitment and stick to it. Because you can build on that.” Bio Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long-time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry.  His previous work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, and American Demographics.  He has also guested on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.  Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Glenn Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants.  Most important, however, was his journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.  Get Connected with Dr. Glenn Livingston: Official Website Fix Your Problem Facebook Instagram Never Binge Again Podcast Book by Dr. Glenn Livingston Never Binge Again Book –  GET IT FOR FREE HERE!!!

Doug Graham - September 3, 2015

Alyssa and Doug Graham play tracks from Glory Bound and talk about finding a connection with Woody Guthrie by train and their documentary film with Cody Dickinson. I’ve also got another track from that new Jason Isbell album. I’ve also got new country from Daniel Romano, and folk rock from Sugarcane Jane. I’ve got more tracks from Amy Black, Bow Thayer, Dale Watson, and Cory Branan in this two hour episode. I’ve also got another track from that new Jason Isbell album. I’ve also got new country from Daniel Romero, and folk rock from Sugarcane Jane. I’ve got more tracks from Amy Black, Bow Thayer, Dale Watson, and Cory Branan in this two hour episode. "The Grahams connect with Woody Guthrie by train (Ep257)" originated from Americana Music Show.

The Grahams, Alyssa & Doug Graham, have been friends since elementary school, and are now husband & wife. They set out to record a followup to their debut, Riverman’s Daughter, which came out in 2013 – and decided to get some inspiration by riding some of the legendary trains which criss cross the heartland of America. Not only did they record a new studio album, entitled Glory Bound, they also put together a film documentary and live soundtrack of their journey called Rattle the Hocks. We talk to both Alyssa & Doug about several stops along the way, including recording at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis.

AJ CROCE is the son of legendary singer-songwriter Jim Croce, began his career at age 18 opening for B.B. King and has since spanned genres from jazz to Americana to blues to pop. Croce has written with artists including Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, Ben Harper and Steve Poltz and headlined festivals and shared the stage with artists including Ray Charles, James Brown, Lyle Lovett, and Rod Stewart. Croce's most ambitious recording project to date entitled 'Twelve Tales' released via Compass Records. The album's 12 songs were recorded with six illustrious producers over the course of a year, including some of Cowboy Jack Clement's final sessions before he passed last August and a co-written song with Leon Russell. http://www.ajcrocemusic.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VZZsjQ0ZQA THE GRAHAMS are the creative union of lifelong romantic partners Alyssa and Doug Graham. The duo combines soulful bluegrass with hints of earthy Americana, adding colors from traditional folk and country blues, into an infectious blend of storytelling that results in songs of love, loss, yearning, and the view from rural American roads less traveled. The new album, 'Riverman�s Daughter', was produced by Grammy-winning producer Malcolm Burn and is the winning culmination of The Grahams� long journey into the heart of America, the inspiration they derived from immersion into classic American music, and the natural and honest talent they have for bringing forth a modern musical idiom steeped in tradition. http://www.thegrahamsmusic.net/

Ask and ye shall receive. Today is Durianrider day on the podcast. And he has a message for you:Carb the f$%@ up!Aka Harley Johnstone, “Durianrider” is a self-avowed health vigilante committed to increasing public awareness of the benefits of a high carbohydrate, low-fat whole food plant-based lifestyle. A lifestyle modeled upon Doug Graham's book The 80/10/10 Diet*, or what is more commonly referred to as fruitarian — a dietary protocol based predominantly upon eating copious amounts of fruit. Let's just say it's not uncommon for Harley to proudly devour upwards of 70 bananas a day.In this regard, Harley is not alone. Although still on the fringe in terms of mainstream awareness and popularity, the 80/10/10 program is one that is gaining popularity (check out my podcast interviews with Michael Arnstein and Mac Danzig for more).But what distinguishes Harley from fellow healthy lifestyle advocates is his unique, personal style.Outspoken and unequivocal, Harley doesn't mince words. At times acerbic, and often on the perimeter of completely outlandish, Harley is a lightning rod for controversy — a role he relishes. Proponents of “fad diets” hawking unhealthy and unethical programs or snake oil products get called out. Taken to the mat. And on occasion, name-calling is involved.And don't even get him started on how he feels about the currently über-popular low-carb / no-carb / ketosis-based diets pushing high protein and copious amounts of fat.His fans are passionate. His critics equally so.But make no mistake — behind the larger-than-life personality, Harley is in many ways a regular guy leading a simple and active life, committed to helping people feel as good as he does, primarily via his YouTube channel. A guy frustrated by all the confusing and misleading health, diet and fitness information penetrating the internet, he's like Howard Beale (Peter Finch) in the 1976 movie “Network” screaming, “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!”Durianrider may not be everyone's cup of tea. I get it. So does he. And he's fine with that. But regardless of any preconceived opinions you may harbor, I implore you to listen with an open mind.His message is powerful. And for the record – I like the guy.I hope you enjoy the show!For some background on the Harley ethos, check out this short video: Why is Durianrider So Aggressive?SHOW NOTES* CrossFit's Dirty Little Secret, by Eric Robertson (via Medium): https://medium.com/p/97bcce70356d* Book: The 80/10/10 Diet* by Douglas Graham* Durianrider Blog: http://durianrider.com/* 30 Bananas a Day Website: http://www.30bananasaday.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

www.jolitabrilliant.com If you are thinking to try to do 30bananasaday diet or 811 diet long term get ready for mineral deficiencies, cavities, mental retardation and more. After experiencing that I (and ive seen my friends and clients do so) can ruin your health, go into madneess or die from any diet if its unbalanced, of course processed food diets will be the most discomfort and pain causing, and both over eating on healthy meat and never eating vegetables or being raw vegan and never eating meat will cause problems, balance is the key.Do you know any vegans? don’t worry they will tell you about it. lm making a joke about vegans as they are the only ones that everyone can make jokes about even vegetarians, say like eat some eggs you pussie! Vegans are not people.Anyhow I’m trouble now bc you can’t fuck with vegans,cc bc if you mess with vegans or animal activists they will fuck you up, dont look them in the eye and run away, saying im wrong! they will fuck you up! bc they are hungry!Goood vegans dont need any essential nutrients to eat from animals, they convert everything probably thats explains the reason they are so ignorant about they health, idiotsOne last question is animals are not meant to be eaten why they are made out of meat? *  * Would you like to add your story on my blog about a failure on vegan diet? Email me here.Thank you.I will be gathering some stories for this blog post to prevent other people from dyeing and failture. Since I expressed my opposition against all Raw Vegan Low Fat Diet, Ive received numerous messages about failures on those diets, with permission of the owners I will share some of them over here, its very sad when DOGMA and peer, social vegan pressure over powers clear thinking.

Vlatka WilliamsJolita, I do not know why I cannot comment on your posts (maybe because I am only Following you, I am not on your friends list) but I want to add to the conversation – my ex husband vas a vegetarian since 12 years of age, vegan since he was 15, raw vegan since 25 years old. He died few years ago at the age 59 of a massive coronary, just collapsed on the street. He never smoked nor drunk, never did drugs of any kind. Totally ascetic, walked everywhere, never owned a car, did Yoga and meditated in India and Tibet. At the age of 40 he developed a skin condition where the tops of his hands were itchy and flaky. After many homeopathic and ajurvedic treatments he finally saw a doctor who prescribed fish oil. He was taking it for almost a year and the condition reversed! He had so much quilt about taking it that he stopped. His hands and feet were always cold and he had horrible mood swings. Reading your testimony and things you are posting makes me realize that he could have had a much healthier and happier life. Scott KujakJolita- Here’s a brief description of my journey over the past 17 months, as well as a current picture showing SAD/raw vegan/Whole foods omnivore. The only reason I’m posting this is not because I’ve “arrived” somewhere, but because I’ve “came so far.” :In October 2011, I decided that enough was enough. I was overweight, lazy, out of shape and depressed. I was following the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) lifestyle.On October 10th, 2011 I started eating less processed foods, adding more fruits and vegetables, and moderately exercising- mostly walking. I was less depressed, had noticeably more energy, and actually enjoyed moving around. For the next 7 months, I made gradual, yet steady changes.By May 2012, I had cut meat down to only about 5% of my total calories, stopped eating processed foods altogether, ate mostly fruits and vegetables, and started running, biking, and cross-training. As of May 5th, I could not even run a block without stopping and being winded- but that was about to change quick. Reading the book “Born To Run” changed my life in dramatic, yet positive ways.In July 2012 I started eating a 100% vegan/95% raw plant-based eating regimen, exercising six days a week, energy still abounding, stress was low, and my endurance had increased over ten-fold. I was already up to running 6 miles every other day. However, beginning in November 2012 I started getting injured often while exercising, my stamina and strength hit plateaus, I started feeling weak, cloudy minded, depressed, insatiably hungry and a mental fog began to develop. These signs/symptoms were all to familiar– I had all these signs/symptoms the last time I tried veganism. I then spent the next couple of months “soul-searching” and tweaking my diet once again.Fast forward to January 2013. My strength and endurance was returning. I was already adding healthy lean muscle while cutting fat, brain fog disappearing, and my energy returning. I began training for my first Marathon which is taking place this coming June.Currently, my energy is literally “through the roof!” I can now run up to 12 miles straight, while averaging 5-6 on an average running day, I’m lifting heavier weights than ever before in my life, and sleeping like a baby. I attribute a major part of feeling healthy again to adding free-range eggs, wild salmon, grass-fed beef, and chicken to my diet which already includes mostly whole and organic foods. While veganism worked as a great short term “weight loss” plan for me, it didn’t stand the test of time. No single diet is right for everyone. My diet/lifestyle is currently at 50/30/20- carbs/fat/protein. Animal products make up about 10% of my diet. Everything is organic and/or free-range.While I’ve definitely achieved some goals, I have many more to come- and I believe I’ll get there one day with patience, perseverance, and hard work. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Take each day as it comes. Ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. There are seven days in a week, and “SOMEDAY” isn’t one of them. Now is the time for change. Never give up!! Manya Niazi Awww congrats! HCRV made me balloon up and gave me terrible skin breakouts that I can’t get rid of no matter what. Jolita you’re so inspirational. Thanks for being YOU! I also can’t live in denial anymore. P.S. I can’t understand why people make a big deal out of this, if 811 works for you then GOOD FOR YOU ’cause we’re all different. Pete Kruse 2 hours agoYou’re on the right track  811 didn’t work for me either. Stomach pains, constant peeing, not feeling full, etc. The vegan diet is possible when done healthy, like the Hippocrates Institute way. However, a vegetarian diet that includes milk and eggs is an ancient diet. The 600 million vegetarians in India can tell you this!  National Geographic said that the longest living Americans are 7th Day Adventist vegetarians who eat milk and eggs (Google “Blue Zones”). Manya Niazi I was 100% HCRV. I followed Doug Graham’s meal plan (80/10/10) and kept a record of everything on myfitnesspal. I was eating around 1500kcals in the beginning and after a few weeks I gained 5lbs, 30BAD members convinced me that it’s normal and suggested me to increase my caloric intake. My training routine was: running for an hour 3 days a week, had strength training sessions with my PT twice a week as well as spinning and kick boxing classes whenever I felt like it. In a nutshell I kept increasing my caloric intake to 3,500-4,000 a day (which was perfectly fine to 30BAD members) and went from 120lbs tp 145. I’m 5’5″ and have a very small frame and have never been so FAT in my life. No one is able to understand how terrible this whole thing is to me, and if you’re not gonna be sympathetic then I don’t wanna hear that I’m not being honest with you, I’ve just had enough. Scott Skujak- recovering 80/10/10 now eats meat after running into major health problems, story to come soon. What if wild animals ate fast food!? (Fun Pause!) alyciawest1Yes you can use what little story I have  I still include fruit in my diet, I’m just not dogmatic about it all. But I was not able to get my cycles back dying the 2 yrs I was using 80/10/10 raw. I had other issues like cavities and increasing sweet tooth. All that said, if it worked for me I would follow 8/1/1 in a heart beat! GDM fitness hared that raw vegan diet made him crave acidic foods bc of too much alkalinity all the time and gave no satiation feeling, so he had to quit. Steven MayI’ve been raw vegan for 7 years and still had acne at times, developed teeth issues, looked sick and tired, etc. It’s not the results you’d expect from following the ultimate perfect diet…I get better results on a cooked vegetarian diet.   blessednhmI was vegetarian and aiming for veganism fir 6 years. I finally gave up the diet went back to eating lean meats because my health over the 6 years really deteriorated. I had chronic anxiety, memory loss issues but was still indenial. I even tried to donated blood Dec 2011 and not only did I get rejected but the nurse drawing my blood actually pulled me to the side to ask me how I was feeling and that I should really see a doctor. I wasn’t even producing enough hemoglobin to function. Chris Wark is not raw vegan anymore.Hi JolitaI admire your courage to share your health journey publicly.Sorry so many people are attacking you. Yes I eat animals. The post explains my journey. (Anastasia garkushka and victoria arnstein (have weight management), I am posting these names without their acknowledgment but from the need to do so as they are in denial but they are sick on this diet) does water fasts and ultra running to burn the fat they gain from eating all that glucose and does yo-yo dieting. alyciawest1Please keep us up on any improvements !! I lost my period too and would like to know if the dragon herbs start yours back up? Cherimoya AngelJolita!!!!! You are brave I was so sick from 811….. I can not live this lifestyle completely…Thanks for your last posts.. I also received thanking messages exposing 811 gurus. Murray UtahThanks for your video exposing Victoria Arnstein. Ever since the first video I saw her with her family speaking about the fruitiest. I thought she was not a good person and a dingbat. Right on to you!   Scott Kujak In short: Something to keep in mind, is that the healthiest and longest lived peoples and cultures ever studied and documented (centenarians), consumed animal products in some way, shape, or form- as well as cooking at least some of their food. The Okinawans have the most and they all consume animal products. Keep in mind that a little go a long way. Not only that, but 99% of the top athletes and champions in almost every major sport in the world consume animal products. How can all of that be, if animal products aren’t healthy?? Animal meat not digesting is absolutely garbage, a myth propagated by vegans alone- a psuedo science unsupported by any real peer reviewed science. Also keep in mind that of all peer reviewed studies done on animal products that claim animal products are unhealthy, none were causation related, nor were they done factoring in organic/grass-fed/free-range animal products. Instead they referred to factory famed and also included people who ate processed foods. Please keep this in mind. I know the “in thing/fad” to do right now is raw veganism “question everything,” but let’s not over analyze things too much. Extremism is extremism no matter how you approach it. I tried veganism/100% plant-based diet out twice, 100% raw one of the times, and while I did lose a lot of weight, much of it was muscle weight and in the end I was weak, mentally fogged, depressed, etc. It was only after adding free-range animal products back into my diet that I regained my health. Message me for picture and/or more info if you wish. I understand that not everyone is the same, but keep in mind that for everyone who is currently “succeeding” off a raw vegan diet, there are twice as many who have failed. And the ones who do succeed are mostly, not all, but mostly short term and were not born and raised raw from infants- not to mention the the hate, intolerance, and judgement that usually ends up accompanying the raw vegans attitude over time. Also keep in mind that many raw vegans and/or vegans are able to continue functioning for some years as raw vegans simply because they have years of stored up vitamins, minerals, etc that they’re still utilizing from their omnivore days If raw veganism is truly the panacea for the world’s ills, and has truly been around for hundreds of years, then where are all the statistics and evidence of them outliving and being healthier than every other populace, culture, and peoples?? If it were true like some claim, it would be flaunted everywhere. Sure it’s a “peachy keen” ideal, but it’s not real. Cheers!about a minute ago · Unlike · 1 Damainefy 38 minutes agoHey girl! Love your videos! Got a question. Recently I switched from high carb raw vegan to LCHF raw primal/ paleo diet…I’ve gained some unwanted weight in my abdominal area including cellulite while being raw vegan (I never had issues with abdominal fat before going raw)…Can you tell me, did you notice the reduction in your cellulite after going paleo? Thank you for your time! Lots of love!  My story: While initially I felt great after going raw and eating so many plants, my skin improved after removing grains like breads and cookies, pasta, but eventually my body went out of balance with only fruits and vegetables. While my mind was not wanting to accept it, and I was delusional about my condition.The longer vegan and the longer raw vegan especially low fat raw vegan aka 811 I been the hungrier I got, I started to think about food non stop, I had to carry snacks with me all the time to not binge and not buy anything non raw, my body was out of balance, in winter I felt terribly cold bc of eating cooling foods like fruits and vegetables, and my mineral reserves started to go out, nails became brittle, especially foot from too much sugar, my teeth developed cavities, severe stomach cramps after eating some fruit like high in fructose watermelons, grapes, apples, I’d have to lay down for 15-20 minutes for it to subside, I had chromium used up and no coming in that helps to digest fructose, I was getting colds and runny nose and throat cold every time i run outside in colder weather while my meat eating tem mates were fine, despite brushing 2 times a day, my hair became thinner and I had less hair, skin brake outs started on the face from the over loaded liver in sugar, heart pain during and after excercise, long heart recovery from the pain, low estrogen, no sex drive, no periods, because I was malnourished at time I felt suicidal and very depressed, than Id eat fruit carbs to pick me up, low energy levels and lack of motivation to do something big in the world, no mental power and aggressiveness I used to have in life, while on the other hand I became agressive with people instead, especially who did not live my way, social isolation from the rest of the meat eaters works and social anxiety, fear of blood, It hink its a mental condition and disease that vegans have, im not afraid of it anymore though. I thought I was hungry because I was addicted to processed foods and that detox was going on and on and on for years, but what I was missing was meat! Its a part of our natural homo sapiens diet, I neglected that other apes also eat small amounts of meat, eggs, insects, small mammals trying to prove my own personal dogma I tried to stay inspired by making videos and watching other insane people. My nervous system and brain function declined from loss of coQ10 and other compounds, vitamin b12 complex and lack of essential amino acids- brain food! I became a person that I could not recognize myself anymore. I gained weight because I was pounding carbs never letting get my body into fat burning mode. My liver was overworked and the further I went the moreexercise I needed to burn off the extra carbs. There is much more reasons which I cant think of right now but I plan onto updating this list shortly, these are the major ones I guess. thanks for reading. The vegan diet might work for you is you sit at home all day and eat greens non stop and vegetables, but in my case I still felt hungry after doing so, bc there was not enough essential thins that are only found in animal products. I saw children not developed as other their age on vegan diet. Serge Maillet * Hi Jolita. Just a quick message to offer you my support for what you’re doing. Last year I was also on a raw-vegan diet which almost killed me. I then realized how flawed the raw vegan diet was for long-term health and decided to switch to paleo. This was a few months before you rendered the same decision based on similar experienced. At the time, I ‘unliked’ you from Facebook because I couldn’t support what you were saying but I recently learned that you have found the flaws of raw vegan, 811, etc.. and are now sharing the truth with everyone I applaud you for this. This is why I’m back on your FB group – I like the work you’re doing, and the messages that you’re spreading. Don’t worry about all of the BS you’re getting from the BAD cult.. they are absolutely delusional and it’s apparent that they actually honestly believe their own bullshit. Keep on going. You have my full support. Abella Molly Locklove Locklove After losing 160 pounds on a low carb diet(which i gained due to eating supermarket food and junk food), to which diet i concluded after trying all the stereotypical diets and methods, i was convinced to try a raw diet and my head was full on the “it’s so cheap” “it’s so handy” blah blah blah. And i was guaranteed i will NOT gain weight. I was bullied cause i was too skinny (can you believe it?) and they all insisted that it wasn’t my weight but that i “looked” unhealthy. When in reality my blood tests were pristine and people thought i looked unhealthy cause they either met me while fat or they were quite chubby themselves so their view on “unhealthy” was distorted. So i started watching freelee’s videos. I noticed some holes in her self-stories but i just ignored them , wasn’t interested in her crying but more in her diet. She kept on guaranteeing herself that you can NOT get fat and you’re extremly healthy etc etc. First week on 811 was quite okay. My tummy was bloating but according to the videos, that’s to be expected. Then i started breaking out. On the forums everyone was saying “detox, detox detox” and i’d feel light-headed sometimes, a bit drunk, sometimes a bit hyper, VERY hungry, quite emotional too. Some days were good, some days i couldn’t even get out of bed. According to the videos i had to stick to it to get that “flat belly”. Which i already had on low-carb but ruined it. This went on for 8 months, i found myself needing to watch freelee’s constant videos of the same thing and i had a friend over when i was watching her flat belly video. My friend said “that’s a tummy tuck”. I was shocked!! I had gained 30 pounds, My teeth were hurting, i was treated as if i was lying about my food and being told “stop eating big macs” and “you’re doing it wrong” and other stuff that are insulting to my intelligence… and the main chick has had surgery done?! I kept on asking DR and Freelee, have you or haven’t you done surgery? No answer. Ever. I’d even brawl with them to get them to respond and as soon as they would, i’d ask about the plastic surgery. I got banned. From youtube channels and 30bad. And then I realised.. of course you can gain weight on 811… all these girls in the pictures that recovered from anorexia and are chubby now gained weight on high-carb. Even if they come from an anorexic background, the whole theory is carbs can NOT turn into fat and “the fat that you eat, is the fat that you wear”. So it IS possible. And DR’s excuse “you might get flabby but you won’t get fat” does not cut it. I wasn’t flabby and i became flabby… At some point i was talking to a friend in an eating disorder channel, someone with the name 801010 and started harassing the girls calling them retarded for not eating and how that 801010 person eats 1000 calories for a light breakfast alone and was linking freelee’s videos and 30bad forum. He was harassing girls with an eating disorder in order to get more views, which meant more money. He’s also admited that he trolls the internet. “You need carbs to troll these morons, a big bowl of kiwi fruit is what you need to troll” *and he shows kiwi fruit skins* I decided that enough was enough. I switched back to low carb, nearly zero and i’m not working out but i lost 2% body fat thus far. I don’t need to constantly eat, i can eat once a day and have energy for the rest of the day. My blood tests are perfect. In conclusion, DR and Freelee are just trolling youtube and have the forums in order to get video views cause that’s how they make their money. Do they do 811? i don’t know, and i don’t really care. I saw that now that DR’s main channel has been banned, both him and freelee are trying to get more views by using hatespeech towards others in the raw world or the paleo world or the low carb world. Vince BarriosHi Jolita, Ive gone from vegan to paleo as well and I feel great. Thanks for everything you do and the inspritation, you are looking super healthy.

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------------------- Featured Topic: How To Conquer The Toughest Sport On Earth. This episode's interview is with Renegade Triathlon Psychology coach Stephen Ladd (pictured right), who recently wrote How To Train Your Brain for Life, Workout & Sports Success and has taken a somewhat unorthodox path to becoming one of most sought after gurus in the world when it comes to training your brain for peak performance. His formal education in the States included undergraduate studies in psychology, religion, and philosophy, and Graduate studies in Comparative Religions. He then ventured outside of the US to experience the cultures and mind practices of Southeast Asia and Japan. The methods that I teach in my Renegade Triathlon Psychology program go way above and beyond what you'll learn in this podcast. This program is the only product of its kind on the market today, utilizing the best alternative sports psychology technologies to empower you to take control of your mental training and perform consistently at the peak of your genetics and skill levels.

Do you know much about these 2 products? Are they safe? Tony asks: I've a query about snacks; You advocate Larabars, which I like, however I've spotted Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Gluten Free bars which are substantially lower in sugar when compared with the Larabar; 6g vs 19g. Obviously the sugary ingredients in Larabars are mainly dates and sugar is listed on the Nature Valley product, so which in your opinion is a better bet to grab in the convenience store for a quick energy pick me up? Alan asks: I just listened to your pod the other day talking about smoke points of oils and had a practical question. I use olive oil or coconut oil to fry up eggs every morning. i have no idea how hot the oil gets or how i would find out. should i be concerned or cook at a mid range temp on my stove instead of higher? any general suggestions or guidelines? Matthew asks: I just listened to the Podcast about electrolytes/sports drinks/water. The conclusions about electrolytes are amazing,though that doesn't change the fact about sugars and nutrition during exercise. Yes electrolytes aren't needed in sports drinks, but does that mean that sport drink formulas have to be re-vamped? Do the electrolytes do anything for the absorption/breakdown of say the malodextrin in Heed or simple sugars of Gatorade? durianrider asks: besides obese fad diet followers that believe you can be in great shape as an athlete on 400-600calories of carbs a day, do you know any REAL athletes that ONLY eat 400-600cals of carbs per day? Are you trying to tell us that you can restore glycogen on 400-600cals of carbs a day and eat lots of fat and protein AND recover in 24hours? lol! You need to playback the Doug Graham interview and learn some basic human physiology. Ed asks: love to do triathlon, but I'm afraid of swimming in the ocean or lake. I swim an 1hour, twice a week in a pool that is 12ft deep, can you help me, or give me some idea's of what to do, to overcome my fear. Cody asks: Every time I run, (mainly to stay in shape and train for basketball) I experience shin pain. Im not quite positive it is shin splints though, it starts almost instantly when I start my run, and never really gets worse, its a mild pain but enough to get me to stop running way sooner then I should be stopping. But the weird thing is when I play football and basketball or any other activity that involves me running, I dont get this pain which is what makes me question rather or not its is shinsplints. So to sum it all up when I run its unavoidable (for the past year and a half) but anything else it never happens. Chris asks: Hi Ben, in the past, you've recommended avoiding all sugars and starches for those active people looking to finally achieve that 6-pack, and who are already fairly lean. My question is about what to eat while avoiding sugars and starches. But what would the diet of an active person look like without sugar and starches, and how long would that person need to do that? My other concern is energy levels and motivation to workout, motivation suffering the most when I feel out of energy. Will trying to look good affect my ability to train my body?  I also mentioned I experimented with severe carb restriction a few times (veggies only carb source), and always experience equalibrium loss within a few days until I started eating carbs again. What's the deal with that? Finally, listener Ashley calls in about the Triathlon Dominator. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
