Western pattern diet

And I'll let you decide which it is because I hate everybody.

Standard American diet is now composed of animal foods and ultra-processed refined carbohydrates.

93% of the diet of the calories consumed by people living in the United States comes from either animal foods or these ultra-processed foods.

It means 7% of calories come from fruits and vegetables, and a third of that is potatoes found mostly in potato chips and french fries.

The American diet is awful.

I call it the standard American diet or SAD.

Over half the nutrients are gone.

Instead of taking 50 pills with all the different nutrients and things you need, there's a vitamin powder called energy revitalization drink mix.

That'll be a

couple of weeks till we get that back again.

Dietary changes could have, could have made some difference there, but we'll, we'll have to see how that comes out.

I can't wait to see.

Yeah.

The salad is the main dish.

And he sets this in direct opposition to the SAD, which appropriately stands for the Standard American Diet.

Oh, Sam.

Right.

The standard American diet is incredibly calorie rich, but devastatingly nutrient poor.

The SAD is engineered in food labs to make you crave it, to hit your bliss point, not to nourish your cellular machinery.

Furman argues for a complete cultural mindset shift.

Wow.

That's unfortunate, but- Yeah ... um, but yes, I had, um, I went through four rounds of IVF on a Standard American diet and one successful pregnancy.

And then I had my last transfer, which was my baby boy, my fifth transfer, and it worked the first time.

It was 100% carnivore, and it was beautiful.

But-

Mm

... um, but yes, I had, um, I went through four rounds of IVF on a Standard American Diet and one successful pregnancy.

And then I had my last transfer, which was my baby boy, my fifth transfer, and it worked the first time.

And so with that, it was basically starting from square one.

I was, like I said, typical standard American diet of everything.

Even though I wasn't sick very much growing up, it was just regular medical care.

And so I...

Sun, Moon, s- and Stars says, "I have Hashimoto's.

How do you treat hair loss?" Uh, well, for me, everything changed when I stopped having all the inflammation from eating a paleo diet and the Standard American Diet, 'cause I did both, and I was vegan as well.

Um, so after I changed the way I was eating, everything kind of took care of itself.

I didn't supplement with collagen.

Yeah.

And so the way you regulate your hormones, uh, that Nisha's talking about, is you don't eat things that cause inflammation, and you eat things that are full of all the amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to make all your hormones.

And so when you're eating a Standard American Diet, you're not getting the nutrition you need, but you're getting all this extra Omega-6 vegetable oil and all these inflammatory sugars and fructose and other things, so your body's inflamed and you're not giving your horm- hormone-making glands the building blocks they need to make the hormones.

So when you move to real whole food keto or ketovore or carnivore, you're gonna stop the inflammation, and you're gonna be eating a nutrient-dense diet.

SAD.

Standard American Diet.

Yeah.

The acronym SAD.
