- Spartan Up ep 60
In this episode, Dr. Fred Bisci tells Joe De Sena, Spartan Race founder and CEO, how to cut out processed foods from our diet to vastly improve health and athletic performance. In his case, though, “processed” also means any form of cooking. Bisci has found through fifty years of eating a raw vegan diet that meat and cooked foods are optional - and may even be detrimental. Incredibly active at age 85, Bisci certainly makes a good case. Yet he urges us not to follow his and Joe’s example: instead of taking the extreme measure of going 100% raw from the start, try making a more gradual transition.
Lessons:
1. In Bisci’s experience, athletic performance can be amazing on a diet of only raw fruits and vegetables.
2. If switching to a purely raw diet is too extreme, the most important way to improve your diet is to eliminate processed food, anything from a can or a box.
3. When coming off of the standard American diet onto this one, it’s common to go through a detox period in which you’ll feel ill. Persist through it and you’ll feel great eventually. - Sport
Two big thumbs up! I cut out meat a little over two years ago. I'm not yet eating a raw vegan diet but I'm working to improve every day! Since I cut out meat, I have finished a marathon, numerous half marathons and this summer, to celebrate my 50th year, I earned my first Spartan Trifeca. From an obese couch potato with high blood pressure to a Spartan in under 5 years! Aroo!
Yes!
Wonderful, well done to you👋😀
What do you take for iron
@@TheHardWayJDS no beans right?
He is actually recomending cutting out processed food. Not just throwing away meat and starches blindly. Humble man
Went vegan 2 years ago, no gains lost.
Much clarity won.
still?
@@MasculineIdeal still
@@FreeD00M What you eating and hows your experience been
How do you get your B12? I have been vegetarian for over a year now. The only non vegan things Im taking are eggs
@@MasculineIdeal I focus on fruits. Salads as additional, spices and sweet potatoes, rice and potatoes.
All in all a big improvement, but it is still individual. I e.g. don't tolerate beans and wheat that much others do and eating a lot raw can detox you. So if you wanna try it experiment and follow you feeling, but go for it. If you on the other hand stop to early that is also not good. It takes some adaptation, but gets easier. Most of it was just bad habits, they go away.
By no means do I have infinite power but I definitely increased in energy and clarity.
Interview Janet Murray-Wakelin! She and her husband ran a marathon a day around the entire coast of Australia on raw food AND she healed her cancer. :)
Epic ! Made a movie from it called "RAW The Documentary"
Amazing! Thanks for letting us know.
What is their vitamin d and UVB and sunlight status?
Do you know the health problems from over-exercising?
And other foods that are unhealthy raw?
It's so true when u eat like this u feel like u r powerful reminds me when I was a child
Sure does!
It's the truth. The mental clarity, energy and skin beutiful is insane
@Spooky actually most like and prefer meat
That man was sharp as a tack for his age.
100%!
I can't wait to start marathon running fasting and raw diet. Im ready to heal and feel better
What a lovely down to earth man , a lot of knowledge.
This is AWESOME!!!
Good advice at the end... about meeting people where they are.
Dr. Bisci is the best!
I love all the info. I will probably never been fully vegan or raw but I am definitely doing for no processed food and as little animals as possible. I think the more you learn about vegan and nutrition the closer you can get. Just learning all kinds of new recipes and tips really helps.
Dr. Fred Bisci looks great.
The hardest part for me is no alcohol no beers no nothing but water and veggies this is going to help my alcohol addiction 🤝🤟🏽🤟🏽
Hey brother, I recommend you get a blender and make a big veggie shake every day. You can drink it throughout the day.Water, Kale, spinach, carrots, celery, steel cut oatmeal, banana, apple, beets, some almond milk ... you get the idea. You’ll figure it out. Dr, Rhonda Patrick on you tube has a good one for the gut biom. She explains everything. Give it some time, you’ll get use to it.
Thats how you become natural high
Any updates sir?
wheres the video of Dr. Bisci in your kitchen throwing out processed foods?
Only fruits and RAW vegetables. This is the key to health. Plus you only eat twice a day once at noon agsin at sunset. Fast on 7th day. Never eat more than you need or feel you need.
I have a lot respect for Dr. Bisci
I love this guy!!! What a beast!!!!!
Truly!
I love Fred!!!! and I love that Joe is at least open-minded!!! If Joe went vegan, and especially super clean vegan, semi-raw vegan, and he achieved his highest levels of performance and recovery, he would be a great example as the founder of the Spartan Race!!! But of course the system will sway him away from promoting that... This is the matrix folks!!! "TRILLIONS" of dollars are at stake... control!!!!!
Exactly
What an awesome man ...knock on wood ...now here is a real Spartan ✅✅✅
That guy is a machine! He is a very inspiring man and I changed my diet or lifestyle 6 years ago because of him! I went vegan and absolutely love the choice I made for myself. I am not fully raw but it’s coming! Great stuff and great podcast! Thanks
I have been vegetarian since 2000 and within the last 3 years I have been a vegan. I love it for my health, compassion towards all living beings and the environment . Don't miss any of the food I ate in the past. It is well worth the change if it is only for health reasons.
@@ramanipereira6350 So glad to know that you are doing great with your journey! I love hearing other people testimonials!
I am doing well myself and I'm eating majority of raw foods now but still enjoy rice too much to give it up. ;) It's almost time for winter and soups are also a favorite;). So fully raw might not happen fully for me? but I never imagined that I would be plant based 6 years ago. So I will see when I get there I suppose? ;)
Have a fantastic rest of your day Ramani! Take care my friend!
See dr Ken Berry chanel
Can you guys interview Dr. Doug Graham? Power lifting in 70s on raw, not sick...
Excellent Raw immersion 117 Degrees and below is raw but palatable 😊
Raw vegan is the way. Juicy fruits.
Yeah.. the way to type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease that is.
@@maxmwegerano7400 don’t fret the fruit sugar. Yum yum yum
@@philphilphil The fructose is still metabolized by your liver. Doesn't matter if the source is fruit or candy.
@@maxmwegerano7400 fatty liver is inflammation. Fruits do not cause inflammation, they heal.
I wonder how cooked rice and potatoes impact us. I would like to retain certain foods if possible. I’m willing to forgo meat but cooked veggies, rice and potato is soooo hard to let go. Presently I’m on a pure raw fruit and veggie diet, following Dr. Morse’s advice as I’m ridding myself of Lyme disease; however, long term wise I would like to have cooked meals back.
These starches can ferment in the small intestine if you are one of the people with bacteria and yeast, especially the yeast in the small intestine. This causes a lot of issues and may be worth you looking up gut fermentation to see if might apply to you. I would avoid them as much as possible.
I may give it a try for a month or so too see if feel any different? 50 years might be pushing it a bit though :- )
Once u get started and feel the gainzzz 50 years may turn into goals. I complete 1 year tomorrow and I hope to go to infinity and beyond
They never look good for their age though.
@@twincherry4958 our social conditioning makes us think that puffy faces and a little more body fat then needed is attractive. The guy is mid eighties but he stands tall, no ability issues, in fact he runs and fights, he is cognitively sharp and can manage to travel, interview twice in one session without fatigue. He just doesn't carry excess fat and wiry muscular rather than bulky muscular.
Einkorn bread, is the healthiest bread to consume.
Please tell your cameraman to get a shot of both of you talking instead of jumping left and right... A good video makes a difference!
💖😁😊😀🤗👍🌞☺️
It was a style choice, sorry you didn't like it.
What about Organic Protein raw Almondmilk Vegan & Organic?
What is Boccu?
Legend
truly!
What is Fred's UVB status?
fruit is the way. not olive oil and nuts
DEFINITELY!! 80/10/10rv
Fantastic video. THANKS
I have to say though that the raw food diet is NOT about peanuts and olive oil at all. It's about abundance of FRUITS and veggies, starches, very seldom nuts and seeds.
yes agreed. it's all about mainly fruits, some vegetables and plenty of greens with nuts and seeds. soak your nuts to release enzyme inhibitors and for easier digestion. if you can't physically eat enough fruit into your stomach then cooked whole food starches are a great alternative
HIGH QUALITY fresh properly ripe sweet fruit, that is.
starch raw? You mean small amount from not completely ripe fruits?
He is saying RAW is based on fruits veggies and limited nuts n seeds. If u are not interested in attaining that level then next best which is also superior is the starch diet. Which basically is cooked starches veggies, raw fruits, limited nuts and seeds. No oil. Also known as whole food plant based or the starch diet
@@cl4417 what about the high sugar in the fruits.
Good set of hair
In times of noah and eve. They not eating meat. No processed foods. All is fresh foods.
Please could you comment on what the health benefits of olive oil are ☺
Why don't you Google it . There is lots of benefits from olive oil. I even use it on my hair once a WK over night 👍
All oil is poison. It's great for making machinery run well, but it's really bad for our bodies in the quantities we consume. It's an incredibly unnatural substance. Imagine how many olives you would need to get half a cup of oil. If you want oil in your diet then eat the whole olives. Google Drs Caldwell Esselstyn, John Mcdougall, Tim Riesenberger, etc. No oil = no heart disease, diabetes, etc.
His skin is better than mine, and I am 46!
How do you make those green shakes I see super healthy people drinking? Do they just blend vegetables? What is the liquid they add to it? Thanks in advance.
Yes the blend spinach and pineapple for example thats a very basic one. Then later on you can try adding raw ginger and honey and lemon 🍋
You can use water, coconut water or unpasteurized juice. Also you can add a little fruit to make it tastier.
Possibly what you need is a juice extractor. A proper juicer is not the same as a blender. A blender will cut up the fruits and green veg into small bits suspended in water but for proper green juice you need a juice extractor which will rip open the cells of the greens so the fluids from inside the cells is released. Its totally different. Google Juice Extractors and you will get the picture. Some are expensive and work on a cold press process with a screw, and others have a sort of rotating cutter and centrifuge. Those are not so expensive but not quie such good quality juice as they tend to cauxe some heat in the process.
Ok so it seems like when I get my sugar from fruits I dont crash like table sugar for some reason? I worry about having my sugar jumping too high from all the fruit?
Yes so true. Also only eat fruit on an empty stomach. If you eat fat and then eat fruit you will experience a crash in my experience.
Fruit is the easiest thing for us humans to digest. For real, don’t worry about it. You can eat tons of fruit and tear right through it. The fructose in whole fruits and veggies won’t spike your insulin or blood glucose much, so there’s no crash. I did a 7-day juice fast recently. Juiced fresh fruits and veggies all day. I drank about 1.5 gallons of fresh juice each day and I felt amazing. My skin improved, energy was sky high and I didn’t miss solid food at all. I even worked out (calisthenics) 5 of those 7 days and my workouts were insane. I outperformed myself each workout. Anyway, I’m rambling now. Fruit is incredible. Don’t shy away from it.
Maybe I should see how this works. I don't want to lose muscle mass so I'd have to eat quit a bit of food and discover good protein sources. Now question is, where do I start?
+warriorfire8103 Keep your carbs nice and high and you will be fine. Your body changes the excess proteins to fat, so you will love some fat and be more defined, have better looking shape. you may end up a bit smaller, but you will look bigger! Carb your self to the max and you should be fine!
+warriorfire8103 you might want to check out Dr. Bisci's book.
All fruits and veg have protein. Have a look at cronmeter
Read 80/10/10 by Doug Graham tells u how to be a bad ass raw vegan athlete!
Check out Proteinaholic by Dr. Garth Davis. Don’t worry about losing muscle muscle on a lower protein diet. Read this book and you’ll understand why. :)
Dr. Collin T. Campbell headed the largest nutritional study ever conducted ANYWHERE, says min 6-10% protein is all we need. Part of the experiment was on mice being fed whey protein - they were literally turning on and off cancer growth.
The range? Anything over 15-20% protein. Under 12% - cancer stopped growing and even regressed.
W.H.O. also suggests 6 grms / 2.2 lbs of body weight.
The U.S. is obsessed with protein, but all you need is sufficient calories to support muscle growth and you’re all set. 👍
I’m 37 F, 120 and I eat 3000 calories a day around 10% protein, high raw, whole plant-based. I did 80 pull ups yesterday. Feeling amazing!
Cut out the meat and dairy you’ll feel super human! Blessings to all! Wonderful interview.
Who is the woman in the podcast?
Our panel hosts are Col. Nye, Sefra, "Dr." Johnny and Joe DeSena.
NDS B.V.CHAUHAN Shanheb on raw food . Watch some videos with recipes
Dr has the energy of a teenager,I'd hate to race him.
Interesting
10 years Organic Vegan 85 percent raw 😊
How do you cope during the winter? I am super-sensitive to the cold. Feel I would probably end up having cooked foods. 😁
@@Mantras-and-Mystics Dress warmer no hot foods it tricks you that you have comfort and ste full no fruit water green tea perfect digestion
Anyone eating all raw foods, do you cope ok with normal fruit and veg from the supermarket? Or do all the sprays and insecticides affect your health at all?
Organic or IDT no chemicals into your body 😊
Eating mainly starches and fruits I'd imagined would trigger candida big-time. And most people in America have Candida
Peanut butter is raw anyway. Isnt a glass of juiced vegetables also processed food. But u need a good set of teeth too.
no the nuts are roasted first else it would be white and taste way different
what about b12
Youll need to supplement
B12 comes from bacteria in the soil. They supplement animals. You can just take a supplement instead of getting it through the animal.
@@angelfiremimosa is this valid information
@@mutualinduction139 yes
Ive been a vegan for 34 years and dont supplement with any vitamins and yet my B12 is actually high. I do sprinkle nutritional yeast on some things...i think thats why I have such a high B12 level and I also dont wash my organic greens to death because ive heard they are on the greens
Look up Dr. Nu Amen Ra
that burpee shit was so cringe
ummm no proteins at all for 50 years. 🙄😄😂
Protein is in vegetables
@@garyprater8139 we already know what happens when someone is on vegetables only diet . the proteins you mention is insignificant . show me a vegetable that doubles it’s carbs
Nuts and seeds have protein.
@@carina9629 fruit and veggies are NOT nuts or seeds. 😃😀😅😂 you made me laugh
@@ashzole he said he eats nuts and seeds. Glad I made you laugh though :)
Learn from the tortoises
People, there are many who ate the standard American diet their entire lives and look as good or better than This man! I know FAR more people who became malnourished on a raw food diet then animal based, including myself. This is great. I’m stoked for people who can do and want to do this, but it is totally erroneous to preach that plant based is ideal for humans, it simply is not...
Can they run 10 miles a day in there mid 80's like this man?
I m from Nagaland raw food mostly vegetables I go with my meal. I m 64 now plant based foods Neve let me sleep in hospital nor u never get sick.tis is my subject in life
We've been programmed to eat all this processed junk, including all these abused animals.. You become what you eat..Case closed..Cheers and blessings 🙌 🙏
probably not, body is devoid of the best fuel. . .
I think more importantly it is to follow lifestyle as per your locality or region. People in cold regions will have to consume animal fats and protein to survive, but also vegetables. Fish is staple food of people mostly in coastal regions since their body is adjusted as per humid conditions. But for tropical regions they mostly prefer mostly fruits in diet.
Sorry but he looks skeletal! why do this people think they can live without protein?! I don’t eat any processed food... but I need animal protein!
Where do the great apes and other herbivores get their protein? Green leaves. Packed with amino acids, minerals and much more.
@@Joy-mh9xq He still looks skeletal and I have yet to met a vegan or vegetarian who looks healthy... That greyish skin tone isn’t attractive at all
@@catherinemontblanc1430 The lighting affects the appearance of his skin tone in the video. I was raw vegan for one year, 10 years ago in my mid-50's-- I never felt/looked better in my life. I wish I never switched back to eating cooked. Check out Annette: www.thefruitdoctor.com/annette-larkins-ageless-raw-vegan-70-year-old-woman/ The key to doing it right is actually doing it right. Many raw vegans skip the greens and the sprouts which are essential. Annette grows her own food and is extremely well educated. People get lazy and default to consuming lots of sweet and starchy fruits, and too many nuts and avocados. I have worked in the natural products industry for over 35 years and most vegans and vegetarians are much healthier than paleo/keto carnivores, or even worse-- SAD eaters. 🙏🏼💕 I am transitioning back to raw now which is why I visited this video. Also, Brian Clement and his wife Anne Marie of the Hippocrates Health Institute are amazing examples of raw vegans.
@@catherinemontblanc1430 you seem very ignorant and need to do some research. There are PLENTY of protein in plant based foods. Animal products will block your arteries and will shorten your life. That's not opinion that is a FACT.
@@44cartel50... Your opinion is of absolute no consequence to me and to most people... You have no idea who I am or what I do for a living... You may disagree with my opinion, but you put your ignorance in evidence by passing judgment on me... Go have a juicy stake... that’s what is lacking in your life 😅
