  • Freelee 2.0? Her name is Paige Shay. She’s thin like Freelee, blonde like Freelee, and eats freelee’s “raw till 4” diet: fruit for breakfast, fruit for lunch, and potatoes and lettuce for dinner.
    But after watching literally HUNDREDS of Paige’s tiktoks, I’ve found some pretty major differences between the two fruit ladies.

      She should really look into if she has celiac disease. I have celiac disease. Eating whole grains is hell for me, and even gluten free whole grains HURT to digest for years after going gluten free, until my intestine had a chance to heal. And it also would explain the absorption issues.

      Well eating unbalanced expensive diets that take a lot of effort is an amazing way to get that.

      No one does. They are not even worth it or necessary. There is absolutely nothing wrong with cooked food. In fact, the cooking process makes nutrients more bioavailable, afterall its not what you eat it's what you absorb. I could even argue that the longest lived and healthiest people were not raw foodists or even vegan. I'm plant based myself, and even that has been a real challenge, but it is probably the most realistic for most people to try and be successful. However, I still don't recommend it, and it is not necessary for you to be the healthiest version of yourself!

      This is really true. I've always been on the higher-metabolism side, but I dropped down to around 110 after I got very sick for a few months-going from 110 back up to a healthier 120, even without being ripped at either point, felt really drastic. I found myself thinking, "hmm, I'm looking a little out of shape"-but I really wasn't! It was just a weird mind game I had to talk myself out of.

ED’s are so complex but because veganism is a lifestyle towards helping animals, the environment and one’s health I can’t help but find it insulting. I really hope that women struggling with eating disorders get the help they deserve. It’s not an easy path at all, but veganism saved my life.

    Raw as well as carnivore (ugh) people are quick to say they cant digest grains but grains vary a LOT. As someone who has true difficulties with digestion due to surgery, it took me forever to learn this. Many grains (and nuts) contain fructans and GOS, the same hard to digest carbohydrates found in beans, BUT there are also grains low in this and so well tolerated like quinoa and millet.

    • @MK_ULTRA420
      @MK_ULTRA420 Před 4 měsíci +4

      Carnivore diet suggests fermenting all legumes and grains before consumption if there's no other available food, but idk any vegans who do this. Edible nuts and seeds should be fed to livestock for protein supplement; their oils can also be extracted and used for hair and skin if they're not toxic.

    • @blahblah6237
      @blahblah6237 Před 4 měsíci +9

      yeah because fermenting neutralize the antinutrients. It is the “traditional” method of preparing grains that people forgot about. Nuts and seeds often also have a layer of antinutrients that bind to minerals in foods, making it hard for you to absorb minerals in your meal. For example, the brown skin on almonds. If you peel the almond and don’t eat the brown skin, you’d be better off

    Muscle mass makes a HUGE difference to how many calories you burn. I weigh 128lbs, eat 2300-3000 calories a day, weight train 4 x per week, walk a whole lot and run once or twice a week. A lot of my metabolic rate comes from the muscle I have. THis is just my experience, not saying it's universal, but when you say she's eating a lot of calories and unsure how she could burn that much in a day - her muscle mass seems significant which would greatly increase her metabolic rate.

All my family including parents are overweight or obese. Additionally, I believe a lot of the calorie-burning benefits of muscle mass come from the behavioural aspects that tend to come along when you have more muscle; a greater likelihood you'll have a higher NEAT, higher energy levels in general, better posture i.e. core muscle activation. I don't think it's as simple as being diluted down to time-restricted scientific studies ; time and time again we see people who are more physically active with higher muscle mass have much higher metabolisms than even the science might have us believe, not least due to behavioural reasons and other nuances.

    Ironically, even though I look at these women with concern due to their diets, raw til 4 works amazingly for me.... Because of my intestinal issues, lol. I have IBS and celiac so eating mostly raw foods during the day and only eating cooked starchier foods once I'm home and can manage my symptoms easily has been great for my stomach. The main difference being I still incorporate a wide wide range of vegetables and fruits (well, the ones I tolerate at least) as well as sources of protein such as tofu or legumes (though those are not technically raw but you get me). I alao supplement b12, D, and iron principally. Anyway. Very random ramble. But I feel like the premise of this diet wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't mostly encouraged by people severely depriving themselves of nutrients :/

Apart from certain medical conditions, low sodium intake, profuse sweating, and over consumption of water - low protein diets can contribute to low sodium levels. The body needs protein to retain sodium. So freelees no salt, low protein diet is dangerous for many reasons, but especially for those who struggle with hyponatremia

      Omg YES!!! I'm Polynesian/Japanese/Roma, and when I went low sodium, I started feeling dizzy and weak and once I even fainted and fell down some stairs (😳). Some Scandinavian people, too -- whose ancient ancestors had lots of salt in their diet for thousands of years -- may thrive best on higher sodium diets, too.
      Whereas some people whose ancestors lived far inland, where salt was rare (as in some African countries) they DO need lower sodium diets to prevent high blood pressure.
      I know this isn't 100%, of course. But it's worth looking into where one's ancestors mostly lived, and whether salt was rare or ubiquitous there. . . sometimes we still carry our ancestral adaptations.

    Hi! I am normally not the person to comment on CZcams videos but I want to say thank you to your for your awesome videos and how they made a change on my whole opinion about foods. I was doing raw till 4 back and forth for the last couple years,never lost the weight but also had nasty binge attacks on evenings so probably that's why. I was also doing fully raw for several weeks but as soon as I found your videos I started to be more critiqual with this kind of lifestyle, started to write out lists about from where I get my calcium etc and I am way more consistent with my B12 now. What I want to say: now I still do raw till4 but I am way more sensitive about how to get all my nutritions, so I also eat nuts and seeds or homemade bars throughout the day and as soon as I started to implement more protein powder into my smoothies, I also felt way more satisfied for longer. So thanks that I can pick now exactly what's right for me instead of following a lifestyle blindly!

      Edit: I’m not going to continue arguing with the above poster as I have no way to determine their body fat percentage, but I want anyone reading this to know that 10-13% range is considered essential fat for women, as in, this is the minimum amount you can get away with before your body begins to cannibalize itself. Most female athletes do not fall into this range. It is not a healthy place to stay at long term nor should it be something to aspire to.

    Also, I am no dietician but I did work with one while I was pregnant and will say this. I developed diabetes while pregnant. I ate nothing but fruit until lunch and even then, 50% of my lunch was fruit. I was told I HAD to eat protein with my fruit because just fruit was spiking my insulin and it was dangerous. I was hospitalized at month 6 and they flat out cut me off from fruit in the hospital because my insulin levels were increasing. Now I'm 1.5yr postpartum, diabetes went away and I do eat fruit every morning. But now I will pair a heafty portion of fruit with some protein like literally a few bites of cheese/nut butter/yogurt/an egg. Just to avoid the sugar spike that 100% does happen.

    Oh my goodness, finally another person questioning the nutritional value of Costco produce. Every time I have purchased produce there, it's gone bad in like 2 days. I have actually purchased some of the same items at Costco and my typical grocery store and watched to see the shelf life of both, and the results were crazy.

    At about the 13 minute mark you mentioned something about hypothyroidism, what was that about? What in the diet might be lacking that causes that?
