hello welcome to in good shape do you know what this is. it's not from the latest alien movie it's a green. made with green leaves it's totally healthy and it's absolutely speaking of hipness are you familiar with any of those dietary trends the pelly or the low carb diet the gluten free diet living a good diet. and all claim to be most and foremost super healthy all the tons of strict rules their own profits and a lot of heated discussions and i ask myself what happened to all the pleasure of eating. so many people eating has become a lifestyle commitment that promises to make you fit healthy attractive and capable

of living to 100000000 spin bag is among the followers of this fat diet craze but it didn't make him feel any healthier the generalist found that life simply became most stressful established experts as well as food bloggers and online new tradition gurus drove him to complete confusion about what constitutes an ideal diet. basically includes everything i did i started with low carb which is also sugar free then i made the leap to paleo. the stone-age diet. in other words meat and salad in-between i did a stand on the alkaline diet so a more alkaline acid producing for. both directly and the addiction to healthy foods causes feelings of guilt and suffer as he deviate from their diet plan small fad diets are based on less than substantial evidence. i mean the heart of prelim and one of the busiest intersections and you can't even see it be. the middle row

because god is going to have a talk with me you've been back you're journalist and you've written books so you say you have heard from their disease called also wrecks the elevator so what kind of disease is it but the action of also it describes the unhealthy obsession with healthy eating and the term 1st pops up in the late 1990 s. in relation to another eating disorder it's called anorexia nervosa to describe this new phenomena of 50 p. fixated on healthy eating and the word author acts and also is composed of 2 words office which is greek and means right or correct and also well the latin word or axis which means appetite and together it describes the very unhealthy fixation on healthy eating and you actually called it easy experts claim that it is a type of an anorexia and both anorexic people and author x.

6 people have an innate wish to be as skinny as possible and where is the anorexic people count carbs calories in a very obvious way the author x. people or exclude many foods that they declare unhealthy and that's also reduce their calorie intake if you have off the record the are you thinking about food 24 hours a day. you have panic attacks when you eat the wrong foods but at the same time you can feel as holy as the dalai lama when you put a avocado in your basket in the supermarket and in your case what has been your symptoms well i've been really really obsessed on my health i've been working out a lot of been running to the gym all the time but at the same time i flew to so many foods that in the end i was just eating 5 foods it was raw salmon it was salad it was no. need it was poultry but i voided bread because of gluten gluten was

a demon i didn't have any sugar and i was traveling with a porridge that you can only get here in germany when wherever i went because i was scared almost freaked out when i didn't have this porridge my destination so i was really upset and had panic attacks but in the mean time you've overcome this condition i wouldn't. hurt but i noticed that i was sick when i was reading an article in the new york times and told a story of a practitioner in the bay area who witnessed that many of his patients consulted him and told him how virtuous the felt by just eating healthy foods at the same time you could see that there really that they were losing weight and there were also cases where people actually died because of non attrition and he coined the term. as a medical term to show these people look you're not really you are sick and this

was the same effect the word had it evoked in myself a feeling of this is not correct what you're doing you're really sick. they always knew food or reheated old ones like fermentation or cooking with state cereal or my favorite one flavored water but 1st let's have a look at some classic. the golden oldies food that's. special diets are all the rage but that doesn't mean they're all sensible let's look at 3 examples. paleo diet in which you supposedly eat like our stone age ancestors. begin is an animal products are strictly forbidden. and the gluten free diet we're a protein found in most grains is off the menu. but where do these food trends come from. when your friends come over you could say that fear trends are a form of self presentation reinforcing your own identity you are what you eat but

also very much what you do not eat. what social group do you feel you belong to. perhaps a socially advantage group which has more money and a higher level of education. so one factor behind food trends is status showing you can afford to eat special foods another is health begins for example avoid all animal products not just meat and fish eggs milk cream butter and yogurt are also off the table but many nutritional scientists are skeptical about the benefits so. not really good enough to not true a diet that allows you to cover all your nutritionally. that's why it's not generally recommended. people who do choose to be beacons need to make sure they're well informed. getting enough nutrients not just between b 12 can be a problem that includes protein certain amino acids the 2 ends and minerals amino.

we know volatile for. the market for beacon products is growing there are vacant burgers sausages and even steaks completely free of all animal products. many of these products are highly processed and not natural at all. and then we got on the beacon alternatives aim to imitate me it's. even a friday. you need to you the. money and be done with leukemia flowers and other products but the highly processed products with a lot of other tips. so vegan alternatives to animal products aren't always a healthy alternative for people who simply wish to eat less meat and many nutritionists say begin diets aren't advisable for certain groups of people and if i don't recommend a very good diet for children or adolescents or for pregnant women or women who are

nursing and. following a gluten free lifestyle means avoiding a group of proteins that are found in many types of grain wheat spelt oats rye and barley as well as the products made from them all contain gluten avoiding them is difficult but in some cases necessary to go to in my view to free diet is necessary for people who have an immune reaction to the gluten and many grains. that's about one percent of the population and they have to follow a strict diet and free diet other people don't have to do this in the us. that immune reaction is called celiac disease. but many people who don't have celiac disease still prefer to go gluten free in the belief that this brings health benefits. but gluten free products where the gluten containing grains are substituted with other products are laden with additives. then there's the paleo

diet where people and to eat like cavemen. the theory is that our genome hasn't changed since the stone age and so a stone age diet must be the best for our health. that means lots of meat for example prefer a belief from animals raised under more natural conditions fish and vegetables are also permitted. the positive side of this bad diet lots of fresh unprocessed ink radiance but even so many foods are forbidden. such as all the ingredients and in ordinary chocolate cake chocolate sugar margarine and flour. these this part of the you know the concept behind paleo diet is very open to criticism that there's hope because we don't even know what it was like in the stone age which feeds were available back then. if you go nutritional experts

recommended most 70 grams of meat per day the paleo diet adds up to considerably more and that comes with health risks apart from that stone age people didn't just eat large animals they probably stacked on much smaller ones to. each of these dietary trends claims that you will live a 100 years as a vital beautiful and healthy person what i eat or what i don't eat sets me apart from others and makes me to become somebody very special usually a better person often these diets at the kids are on a missionary journey after all they believe that their way of living and eating is the only right one in many cases well solid scientific evidence can be pushed aside . zilker is a bit stressed so sweet sweet sweet. and silken has organized a vegan brunch. she's been

a vegan for more than 10 years. coconut balls fried patty his cake salads. and everything here is 100 percent plant based. brazil combines a vegan diet and her diet is the healthiest. that such rated frocks cholesterol everything that every health advice book says you should produce reduce reduce them if you can do that if you avoid meat and instead eat a lot more fruits and vegetables and dump liberality. so really you can hardly get any healthier than this if an action just on. a budget but you're not reducing your radically eliminating as well as well i'd say that my way is optimal since i'm making sure i avoid all those things i never need to worry that something could harm my health based on what i put into the refrigerator or what i take out of it on my legs so that it's fair because most of egan's don't seem to worry that they

could be missing out on important vitamins that worry that they might eat something unhealthy is causing more and more people to eliminate certain foods. but now vance i'm a nutrition scientist is troubled by this trend toward extremes and the many myths he hears including at this vegan brunch. i mean for toxicity the problem but isn't it true that vitamin b 12 is only found in animal products. this week is a governess i disagree with in grain products especially in legumes have a decent amount of b 12 and i need is a medium size bit with well he disagrees in that spine he's not a nutritionist but an ordinary consumer if he's doing well on that diet that's his own business but vitamin b 12 is absolutely only found in animal products and not in plant based ones but still the vegan stick to their guns they feel healthier this way. if i want it done

for hours i won't live forever sure but this will help me live a long healthy life it's a positive side effect of my diet. used to be big and. i'd like to steaks. a bit thicker is good now he's made the switch to the other extreme. is a bit thicker but you do know that vegans would hate you for this shit is a sure of my former self what. hated me too i'm basically signing the death warrant for these animals here. but eventually i decided that consuming animal products was better for my health and that includes meat. so. he now follows a purely 0 diet dairy products including milk and cheese are off limits he's also banished grains from the menu he worries that certain substances in them might make him sick. and everything tries to ward off being eaten grains don't want to be

easy of it all animals don't either so they have claws and teeth to defend themselves. grains defend themselves with substances in their husks and you get a lot of that in a whole grains those substances affect our bodies. partly on the level of the brain and also the gut that's how they can contribute to the development of disease. well that's an amusing theory as. all plants contain defensive substances that's a basic biological strategy. and we humans have learned over thousands of years to only consume plants that contain defensive substances that aren't a problem for us like grains for example. the defense of substances and grains are also beneficial to us humans. you know for example that the defense of substances and grains are beneficial to preventing colon cancer. they can help reduce colon

cancer risk. is a fitness trainer and health consultant he promotes the paleo diet that means that all food that emerged after the beginning of agriculture and livestock farming are on the menu that includes grains and dairy is one that's highly processed foods and junk food. and going back to prehistoric times is the healthiest way to eat but it isn't even possible to eat exactly like people did in the stony. is so casement because they're going to be honest most of the things in my shopping basket today didn't exist back then. but the paleo diet is the healthiest. exactly because we eat foods that are more similar to what we ate back then. that then there were no off economists or broccoli and the meat of paleolithic animals

was different from me today the theory behind the paleo diet is flawed as are those of many other diets but for a society that increasingly fret about food they provide a sense of security even when they're more fat in fact. if you would do is search. for the search term nutrition you will find around 50000 books on this topic. society there's over 230000000 hashtags on food on social media like instagram or you have 170000 products in the shelves and supermarkets at the same time there are 250 new scientific studies coming out every day and all of them inconsistent in a way because one day is toxic and the next day it has so many health benefits so of course people are confused they're intimidated and they're seeking help in

these kind of books on the other hand also food gives us some sort of identity there's this famous dictum of a german philosopher. who said what you what you eat and of course you show the world who you are through what you put on your plate and person who eats paleo has a different lifestyle than a person who is big and so yes food has become a religion i would say some people claim that you can boost your immune system with food like head. need to fight the novel coronavirus what's your take on that we don't know everything about this virus yet and this really scares us and so we really like to believe that a certain food can do so immune system and can prevent us from getting the virus or lower the risk of catching it but this fall it is fatal because you feel safe and you act differently so at the end of the day these recommendations are really dangerous food is often seen as medicine that's what's with this make out of her

dinner plate 1st of all i would like to say that of course there are diseases that correlates with nutrition such as lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance but this only affects a few amount of people actually in germany is only here a point 8 percent of people like 800000 people who are gluten intolerant but then we also see diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure disappear when you change your diet and we think what it's the fault of this specific food but actually it's not because these diseases correlate often correlates with overweight or obese city and you just eat less food you just reduce the amount of food you're having and then people still think it's the food that is the poison right and there's a very new trend right now it's called into to eating living basically the question was it sounds nice yeah it sounds nice at 1st but when you really look at it it's

just another diet fad because most people who are obese or suffer with overweight if you tell them just listen to your cravings it won't work because they have mental illness they have they feel lonely they are depressed so these emotions these negative emotions to which they compensate with overeating are much stronger than their cravings so i would say you can really ignore this diet. i always thought that food was about eating ok it's health and well being but there's more than just that food is. moral political to do with climate protection. eating can be a sense us and private affair and very revealing what we eat shows everyone who we are and who we want to be it has an impact on today's world and that of the future

the environment economy and climate are all affected by what we. asked and our exhibition future food also covers the political aspect. this is not primarily on what we have on our plates but rather on the wider repercussions of what we did. with. future food what will we eat tomorrow is an exhibition at the german hygiene museum in dresden it tackles a range of pressing issues such as how nutritious is the food we eat how much meat should we be consuming are vegetarians better human beings and do we really need to get our food from the other side of the planet. does this coronavirus crisis opened our eyes collectively to the fragility of our international food delivery chains what happens when our livestock feed supplements from china don't

arrive and then we can't batten the pigs which in the end affects consumers. eating is also very emotional there's an often polarizing debate between lovers and vegetarians and vegans and everyone feels that they are right. food can be a morally charged issue there are ethical reasons why people become vegetarians or view guns it has to do with how animals are treated and with climate change. i'm thinking it was a small dose makes the poison as they say so sugar isn't a poison in itself meat isn't a poison in itself it all depends on the dose the amount and whether you take pleasure in eating to them who are you buying directly from the farmers own shop that's their market and that adds another dimension of quality to the nutritional aspect as. eating is a necessity ideology is

a matter of luxury. so you wrote a book titled i've had enough do you just want to create a new trend honestly i wanted to reconsolidate myself with food and i really wanted to understand why diets are bad for your health that diets not only are not working but that they're also negatively affecting your health and it was also crucial for me to see that we as humans. we adapted to any type of food. nothing nothing is toxic there's nothing like toxic food the dose is the poison and i really like that because we all have to find a way to eat moderately but this is very individual that you cannot separate health from nutrition because we know that too much can cause cancer and too much sugar is unhealthy so how can you deal with that to actually know this because there are 2 very large studies from reno and universities in the u.s.

stanford and harvard that showed that you that you cannot really measure the influence of food on our health and they would even go so far to say that 96 percent of all studies are flawed if not all of them and the reason why they say it is that you cannot ignore a person's lifestyle. how do you know that a person who is on a vegan diet has a lower risk of getting a heart attack just because this person doesn't eat any red need. maybe it's also because this person has a more healthy lifestyle in general one of the biggest problems today when it comes to nutrition is obesity so how can you handle it if you'd affected actually not with a diet fad because there was how most people are extremely overweight or obese because they have an eating disorder they're so-called binge eaters or emotional eaters they compensate negative emotions with overeating there is programs that help these

people because it includes psychotherapy to deal with these issues but on top of that they're also doing cooking classes and they're getting nutrition counseling and this is very crucial that they see their nutritionist on a regular basis because studies show if you really control your food intake you can keep the weight that you lost before so this is really meant to tarrie what should we do with all of the strands we should ignore all of them because they're dangerous they're making you sick so you should really understand that we are on the voice we adapted to so many eating lifestyle it's we have so many food choices and we should make use of them we shoot each as varied as possible because that is healthy and what is unhealthy i have suffered from that as well as any sort of extreme diet because that is very unhealthy well i'm of the tongue so what do
