I’ve had bacon for years and I’m slender. Get an excellent supplier, and you’re golden
You lost me at salt. Salt isn’t bad for you unless you eating that nasty processes table salt like the one with the umbrella girl on front. There’s no nutrition whatsoever it that horrible stuff. You might as well use it to season seed oils and just say to hell with it.
I have no idea what he just said, lol and the thing is I was so excited when I started this video
Bacon is a traditional winter food same as ham and salt beef. Stems from the pre industrial days of farming, when the food for feeding animals became scarce they were slaughtered and the meat preserved. when farming was done by hand and horse there was no choice but to kill the meat stock and try to over winter the horses and breeding stock. There is no reason in this modern world to eat so much of it. The only reason there is so much of it about is it has a longer supermarket shelf life than untreated pork.
Jeff Get Jason fung in. that will be really interesting to hear u guys question each other hahah
hmm or hoping jason fung will get on joe podcast, that would be real entertainment
How the fuck do you find out the calories if the fucking label doesn’t show the calories?
Very good video….I just got done watching another video by another Doctor…and he said bacon is good for you and that vegetables actually have more nitrate than bacon, someone should tell our vegan friends.
Mahalo-TBD
As much as i agree with having to be in a hypocaloric state to lose weight (obviously because that’s fact) the kind of calories you consume certainly matter especially when working out. I didn’t watch joe Rogans podcast but when you exercise and if you were to eat hypercalorically with only simple carbs vs protein and fibrous carbs, your body will gain weight but in different ways. Fat vs muscle
Stephan Guyenet is a pompous annoying twat. Right or wrong, this dude rubs people the wrong way
if your healthy bacon is perfectly healthy. if your already a unhealthy pig then its probably not going to help you.
Outdated information. This channel needs to keep up with modern research or else… unsubscribe
I asked my butcher about bacon…says he never met a bacon he did not like.
Great video Jeff,as always.
I have a question,please anyone answer if you have any insight.
I’m 19,240lbs or 110kg with a 40″ waist.My muscle mass is higher than average.
It’s hard to say by how much but I can bench 160 for 5 but I don’t lift weights (use to do calisthenics)
I can also do a body weight dip for 15 reps.
Finally my question is:
Am I obese?
Scales have told me my body fat is 33% but that doesn’t seem right.
Clearly I have as belly and also a very fat chest possibility some breast tissue but I don’t “feel” obese.
If anyone has any insight to this I’d greatly appreciate a reply.
Hi Dr. Z. I just re-watched this video. I heard you say “everything in moderation” like close to times! During my journey to heal a sugar addiction. I discovered I can’t do everything in moderation. I’m team abstainer so I’m in that camp! That’s why carnivore with satiating fatty protein. I eat til I’m full and fast. That is all! drop.
its 3 AM, maybe i should go to sleep.
Youtube: The Science of Bacon!
If I had to save either a newborn baby or infinite bacon, I would choose the bacon in 1 second
I dislike bacon not because of the taste but because I like pigs as animals and just hate their farm treatment.
But…
If lab grown meat becomes a thing I may start eating it again.
Isn’t just correcting for sex evidence that there is a hormonal component to energy balance? And so your hormonal response to certain macros is also key maybe more key than just calories in calories out?
It’s totally science doesn’t support that claim Bacon’s one of the worst things you can eat for your body I’ve cooked bacon all that fat and grease
i am struggling with my diet because i do night shifts…any tips?
I realy did think the thumb nail was un-edited. lol. I love bacon. Great job on all these vids Thomas. You look fantastic! Can’t wait till my winter blues go away. Just feeling stressed this time of year.
NOOO Don’t you dare recommend Turkey Bacon as an alternative! There is no such thing Turkey bacon is simply processed Turkey Sausage which might even prove to be worse!
Exactly. Most people don’t realize the nutrition facts for bacon generally refer to the bacon before any fat has been rendered (unless otherwise specified) So its much lower in fat and calories than most people think.
What’s the deal with the all bacon diet? I know I shouldn’t… but I’m seriously considering it.
Until it’s not good for you.. remember sugar free and low fat every thing.
A couple of questions:
When you say sugar is empty calories I assume this is only added sugar and would also assume this is because they don’t add vitamins or minerals? compared to other carbs like fruit and veg which do?
Also when you are talking about some people can overeat and not gain weight while others can not. I assume this is just used up by increasing NEAT? As energy can’t be created or destroyed?
Lastly a statement: I truly believe that ALL people need to learn how to count macros and calories for a good 6 month and after that, they can move away to intuitively eating. If you don’t understand the basic’s of calorie, serving sizes I truly believe you can’t have a level of knowledge that is needed to intuitively eat. I believe this is the same with money and many other areas of your life.
Thanks for the great interview.
It makes me gain wait and pork takes long to digest good if you don’t have time to eat in the afternoon
I only can think tobacco, asbestos, lead lined cans until 1996, plastics, seems a little hard to trust that science is open to saving us. If he cured anyone would he have a business model? They are promoting drugs and exercise for fat loss, great. Running from u both.
Bacon is disgusting… If people here want to act like it’s great that’s fine… But Bacon and the way pigs are treated is pretty horrible. You have to look at what you are supporting with your money!! You can do low carb and do it without acting like a land animal glutton.
So are you saying that if I eat 4 apple fritters at 1600k or spinach in the amount of 1600k I can maintain my weight in either case?
Just got two packs of bacon @ walmart today♀️♀️♀️
This is complete bullshit. Whoever puts “serving” as a unit on the label should be shot.
Fruit has sugar which spikes your Blood sugar response thus rising insulin. If you combine any fat including bacon with sugar… You’ll get fat. Do not combine sugar with any fat, in fact don’t eat sugar with anything… If you must eat sugar eat it by itself or with fiber though fiber bloats you.
Excellent Video, There are hundreds of fitness channels on YouTube but very few are giving scientific proven information like this channel
Why would pork be hard to digest for people with colon issues when most, if not all, of the digestion of meat happens before it ever reaches the colon? I bet doctors recommend plants, even though fiber will wreck the colon in that case.
Great video! Will you ever have a summit? I would love to learn in person spread out over a day or two. Dr. Eric Berg did something like that. Can you? Just curious. You have so much to offer people and we do want to learn.
Bacon is a carcinogen. It is processed meat, and the World Health Organization, based on a wide array of nutritional science, has classified it as a Group 1 carcinogen. Good luck with that.
In fact, ALL animal products directly contribute to a whole host of Western, chronic health conditions, including heart disease.

Our grandparents ate bacon and sausages and tomatoes and fried everything in LARD or DRIPPING so let me say this It didn’t do them any harm so who the hell made these so-called studies. You can eat bacon and enjoy it, scientists never really have all the facts because they never have enough humans to test there theory’s on
This is all a conspiracy, a old lady who made it to 100 years old said her long life was because she ate bacon everyday.
fat is good sugar/carbs are bad….
Dont eat bread and eat only bacon and its good
Bacon is life! Not to mention a keto essential! Long live bacon
Please have on Jason Fung, MD, who can easily logically dismantle all of Stephan’s ignorant pseudoscientific claims. Also, anyone with even a modicum of scientific literacy can read Fung’s books and realize that Stephan is completely ignorant of physiology and endocrinology.
Yes food does matter, but this is a circle. We all want to lose weight by eating right or whatever. You can not lose weight without working out. We ask why were we skinny and low weight in the past? Well let’s think how many people had office jobs in the past? No one we work on the farm, in factories, we worked ourselves physically rather than mentally as we do now. That makes it where everything we eat we don’t use except to sustain us. I know it’s hard, but the truth is eat right, work out, and sleep. That will make you skinny and healthy, whether you break it down into specifics (carbs, calories, sugars, etc) all that matters is those three things.
At 50:00m | Ice cream is addicting due to its naturally occurring opioid peptide from consuming cow’s milk, Beta casomorophine. Not sugar nor fat. Dr. Neil Barnyard touches on this.
I wonder if all the vegans can hear us over their b12 deficiency
Gosh Just found this video and want to watch it but… gotta wake up in five hours…….. gotta save it to watch it later
I’d be curious to know what Dr. Guyernet thinks about gut bacteria. Some studies seem to indicate certain gut bacteria help skinny people be skinny, and fat people stay fat. Where the guy bacteria is inherited, but not exactly genetic. They did tests in mice, and I suppose humans, transplanting guy bacteria.
This was a frustrating listen as this podcast challenged some of my beliefs. Although I admit it seems Dr Guyenet made valid points, the paradigms of gene expression and gut health weren’t covered, which makes me reluctant to accept his conclusions part and parcel.
I usually eat bacon, eggs in the morning. I feel amazing when I eat this and combine it with my black coffee.
I like the North Country brand bacon that is nitrate and hormone fed.
Ok rather than count calories count the amount of food in hand size or cups etc!
Love Dr. Z cutting strait to core of it! When talking about combining high fat with high-carb and high-sugar he states “Once again,…That’s a Recipe for Absolute Disaster!!!”……HOW TRUE!!
Bottom line: eating bad quality keto foods versus going back to your old carbs habits…the eating bad quality keto food is still better than eating carbs like you used to. Because sometimes finding good quality keto foods is not easy when you are not living in the USA where you can find them at any grocery store.
Most people severely underestimate their activity output levels. Is it possible that Gary and his brother ate the same foods, but Gary’s brother was considerably more active than Gary? (From my observance this scenario is common.) You have to look at actual net calories.
I only eat 3-4 bacon strips whenever I have the classic breakfast
Glad i don’t have to be afraid of a bit of sugar any more. Does this mean that Dr Berg, Thomas Delaur and Dr Hyman are wrong?
I STUPIDLY JUST ATE CURED BACON UNCOOKED! SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
I think Stephan didn’t get a fair shake in that Rogan Podcast. Most comments were about how he was “arrogant”, but he actually did an incredibly good job of making his case. To this day I still refer people back to that podcast as an example of why the whole “bad carbs” argument isn’t based on sound science. Shame it went over a lot of people’s heads.

Is there a Vegan replica of bacon? If yes, then I would turn a vegan!
I’m certain unaccounted for portions of bacon is detrimental for the pig….LOL.
Sugar is a big deal because it encourages INSULIN release which encourages fat storage, it’s why KETO works so well because of the low insulin environment when sugar is removed from daily use.
“Eating Right” is highly subjective! For example, some people should eat bacon. Yet, to the health conscious layperson or religious group, bacon (pork) seems like a bad food item. And, it is—for most people. However, it may be good for you. The term used in the nutrition world to describe this phenomenon is Biochemical Individuality. Simply put, not everyone is biologically the same. This is the reason why certain well-tested medications work for certain individuals and not for others. Their individual biochemistry is compatible with that particular substance:
“Biochemical individuality is the concept that the nutritional and chemical make-up of each person is unique and that dietary and other needs therefore vary from person to person. People have unique biochemical profiles based upon their own genetic structure, nutrition and environment”. -Roger Williams, American Biochemist
Food is no different! We can achieve the same exact nutritive value (protein) we get from hempseed, fish or soy as with bacon (if bacon happens to be a High Vibe food for you) and suffer no consequences:
“Susannah Mushatt Jones (1899–2016) was an African American who was, at the age of 116 years and 311 days, the world’s oldest living person and the last living American born in the 19th century. Jones never smoked or consumed alcohol. She slept about ten hours a night and napped throughout the day. For breakfast, she always ATE FOUR STRIPS OF BACON along with scrambled eggs and grits. She also ATE BACON THROUGHOUT THE DAY”. [Wikipedia. “Susannah Mushatt Jones”. Wikipedia: Free Encyclopedia, 2016]
Unlike any other diet plan on the market today, the Numerology Diet actually measures the numerological values of specific foods and matches these foods to our Life Path number. Think of it this way:
“All matter resonates at specific frequencies! The frequency of, say, a carrot, is quite different from that of a bagel. The most simplified way of looking at The Numerology Diet is through the lens of frequency matching”. Trent Tyler, Numerology Nutritionist
It’s misleading videos like these that continue to confuse snd convince people to eat foods that are literally killing them.
Not to mention animals.
10:10 Bill Nye being the crazy anti-science pseudo-scientist that makes insane Leftist propaganda videos, right, Jeff? I’m not talking climatology, just feel free to not hold up the charlatan that is Bill Nye.
Our body makes nitrates naturally, does that mean we should only have our bodies in moderation.
When we eat fruit high in antioxidants our body stops producing its own so what’s the point consuming more when our body says no more.
Fat gives us fuel and makes us feel full while carbs just want more carbs which turn to fat.
I don’t like bacon… I mean… I do… But… I don’t like how fatty it is. I love the taste. So that’s why only eat my bacon when it is very crispy
Thanks for the interview, as a person on a keto diet it’s interesting to hear ideas challenging the notion that it is the best option for fat loss. However it would have been interesting to hear your take on inflammation reduction and how keto compares to other diets in that regard.:)
You inspired me to make a channel, I just realest a body transformation. Love your vids
On a totally irrelevant tangental note, every time Dr. Guyenet said “Garry’s Model” I could hear nothing but “Garry’s Mod”. Call me a child, but that’s what I hear.
Hmm… my grandmom loved bacon and she died from two types of cancer, maybe the bacon has something to do with it
i dont eat bacon i have never eaten bacon, im safe. Being kosher got me
I make bacon. and I use sodium nitrites to prevent bacterial growth, not for color.
I cook six slices of premium butcher choice bacon each day for breakfast along with 4 large pancakes and real maple syrup.
bacon is healthy my dad was really fat and he eats bacon he lost 40 pounds so
You the man. I love bacon I was never wanting to give that up. Goes perfect with my eggs for morning breakfast
I’ll answer this before even watching the video. CALORIES MAKE YOU FAT.
…….to avoid harmful Glycation End Products (AGEs) from occurring in the body, food should not be cooked much past boiling temperature 100° C (212° F).
my parents wont even let me lick a piece of bacon…. so yeah.
Let’s get an update to this i believe it would be fun knowing tests have been done from last year to now I would want to know Joe’s take on this topic now
Still people cite bogus information from WHO and other government sources saying bacon is evil. People are so brainwashed.
I LOVE BACON!!!! I wish people would stop saying bacon is sooooo bad! I love that uve got science backed videos on this…. I always refer people to ur videos for better advice than what I could give! THANK YOU!!!!!
Wen ever poeple eat bacon they feel sick and they get position bacon is from pigs pigs are dirty and position that why bacon makes you sick
LIKED the vid: Excellent interview. I always enjoy these “deep dives” into different areas of fitness from those who have studied and actually know what they are talking about. Good questions Jeff, I really enjoy these. NO DOUBT!
This channel discriminates against 4 pack homies. Some people’s muscle insersions only go up to 4.. end the hate
must people keep making up excuses for fatties with no willpower who refuse to exercise? if it’s all down to genetics then why do so many people who are obese today have or had grandparents that were not obese (100 years ago obesity was relatively rare), its not rocket science guys! yes some people are lucky that their bodies naturally store very little fat and some people definitely have to work harder to stay leaner, but the main driver of fitness and health is exercise and nutrition!
Natural nitrate s are fine…but you lost my confidence when you said synthetic nitrates aren’t to worry about maybe u need to check that out abit more… make sure you get quality bacon with a natural nitrate like cultured celery/juice and sea salt. If I were u I wouldn’t say it’s okay to eat synthetic nitrates like sodium nitrate you may cause some one adverse health problems with that advice. People should be aware of how their food is preserved it could kill them in the long run
Thank goodness I can go back to using an I.V. To pump bacon back into my veins…mmmmm
Bacon is not good for human période
I’m done with this doctor
805 people now feel less guilty about eating the sandwich they were just making.
I thought the whole point of a low carb diet was that it makes you less hungry, which Stephen concedes. He also admits that Taubes agrees that it’s ULTIMATELY calories in/calories out. Does anyone actually believe that it’s not ULTIMATELY calories in/calories out? I mean, the literature DOES support the claim that low carbs is better for weight loss and that it does reduce cravings.
What is with this trend of chiropractors giving medical advice. There’s not a cardiologist who will tell you that bacon is ok, it’s not. You might lose weight eating bacon and fat but you will lose weight on chemotherapy also. There’s no “healthy” bacon or other processed meat, just as there is no healthy cigarette. I’d call him a quack but he’s not a real doctor so……… (and I’m no vegan.)
The thermic effect of protein might also be offset by lower NEAT when on low-carb diets.
I love bacon but now im sick and thinking of bacon is disgustin.
I’m trying to lose weight so will bacon help or should I stay away from it?

Can someone tell me if I got this right? So if I’m on a caloric surplus, I might as well eat junk food instead of some low-fat products and as long as the calorie intake remains the same it doesn’t matter at all?
“What’s really making us fat?”
Eating like shit and being a lazy ass.
So it doesnt matter the amount of carbs, fats you are eating but instead the amount of calorieS?
I still continue to be “a calorie is a calorie” skeptic because I participated in a research study where I ate only food given to me during the study, and they changed macros, as well as sugar and fiber, and kept the calories the exact same. They weighed every 2 weeks because they wanted us to stay weight stable. I lost 4 pounds of fat and gained 2 pounds lean body mass on the first half and gained 4 pounds of fat on the second half, so eating the same calories, keeping activity mostly the same, but actually more active in second half, so it’s at least something of what you eat and not just calories that matters. I may not be average, but you need to be aware of what works for you.
Great work with this interview, I’m glad that there are still Youtubers who actually care about the quality of their content. You doing such a great job at communicating mass amounts of info. I’m learning so much through this channel. Thank you
Now every time I eat bacon I’m going to also eat a banana waffle.
19:01 Can we all agree that that is a big fat lie. People back then did not have brains that told them when to stop eating to not get fat! Food was scarce & people ate less & moved more to hunt down food! It wasn’t that their brains told them when to stop. They stopped when there was nothing left to eat.
Welp I Guess I’m A Tasty
BUT DON’T LET A AMERICAN EAT ME but a Canadein Oh Yeah:)
you should work out everyday if you eat bacon likely everyday
ill eat bacon if its there for me, but I wont buy bacon at the store if I want a pack to myself. tbh, I would pick fruit over bacon depending on the kind, apples? probably not a good trade, horned melon? starfruit? hell yea.
I agree with everything except Turkey bacon, Turkey bacon has more salt and sodium than regular pork bacon. Do your research!
Does the sugar graph take into account all the types and names used to hide it tho? From molasses to maltodextrine, corn syrup etc, its all sugar.
Uncured organic bacon!Synthetic nitrates are horrible. They will list it if it is preserved with celery juice.
I think there may be to types of people #1 No Hormonal issues and able to handle this horrific food landscape that we find ourselves and #2 Hypothyroid, Leptin and/or Insulin resistance.. If you have any of these three issues your ability to loss weight is EXTREMELY hard to impossible, even for very active people. If you can eat carbs daily and stay sub 15% body fat AWESOME. If you have one of the medical issues above workout and make good choices with food Keto/Low Carb may be your only options. @ 54:01 “if you have insulin resistance maintain good body composition” Bro that war is lost already if your resistant. Keto/Low Carb and IF are your only options to stay in the fight. Any carbs or sugars require an insulin response from your pancreas. PS: Your body has no physiological response to a calorie its a measure of physics and thermodynamics not body chemistry.
i would love to see him talk with dr jason fung. i have limited knowledge on this but what he says makes sense to me. I also don’t want to attribute malicious intent to dr stephan personally but I do think there are incentives for people to promote the “calories-in vs calories-out” mantra. and i think the key distinction is not about energy expenditure but more about hormonal response. I’m a vegetarian and I went keto for 6 months, lost a ton of weight but I find it very unsustainable for me. I also think I have a propensity to binge eat so that also plays a role in my failure on keto. I think overall the keto diet is great for weight loss and it might even be the healthier option but I’m having trouble with the sustainability aspect of it. i would like to see doctor vs doctor instead of doctor vs science journalist lol not that he didn’t have valuable contributions but I don’t think it’s the same
Thank you for laying it out, there is just too much fear out there about bacon and it always helps when the answers are backed up with good science! I prefer EJAY’S brand of bacon it is naturally cured and the ends and pieces package is very affordable and the only place that I have found it is Grocery Outlet.
This video ignores the change in biology that occurs when people are insulin resistant. Also the hypothesis is not proven that some thin people who ate an extra 10000 just burned 10000 extra calories that day. However high insulin levels does affect what happens to those calories and that condition is caused by consistent high levels of sugar in the blood which only happens from certain food groups. And when you find out what they were eating, as with most overweight people it is processed carbohydrates.
I don’t eat pork anymore.
I eat Turkey rashers just as nice but healthier for me.
Blessings from Wolverhampton England to you all.
“Does this demonstrate a calorie is a calorie?”
“Yeah, it does”
What about the studies that show superior weight/fat loss and improvements in health markers in people on a higher calorie low-carb diet vs a lower calorie low-fat diet? I have no doubt that if you consume a large excess in fat while still restricting carbohydrates that you’ll eventually gain weight, nor that one can violate the first law of thermodynamics (which continually gets paraded out into discussion) but the comparison between the diets in the literature in randomized, controlled trials seems to render this hypothesis false (namely that a calorie is simply a calorie), especially if we consider that weight loss isn’t necessarily very relevant when we control for fat loss and health biomarkers (considering longevity is really the key issue). It’s not as simple as just carbohydrates, but it appears incredibly clear from the literature that human bodies do not treat all calories the same and that what one eats affects how that energy is used. It’s obviously not as simple as what Stephan presents Taubes’ model to be, but someone like Attia seems to very much be on the right track and the plethora of studies on LC (especially ketogenic diets) vs LF/calorie diets is impossible to ignore, most especially the effect they have on diabetes and reliable health markers. I think defining terms is probably important too even Stephan distinguishes between obesity and i.e. fat distribution. For non-obese populations some of these considerations may be more relevant.
I’m also unsure why the DIETFITS study gets the attention it does when few people consider low-carb/high-fat to be 30/45 carbohydrates to fat, respectively.
Appeals to the “scientific community” are irrelevant beyond actual study analysis, for the record.
Currently I’m on a 16:8 diet plan. I work overnight so my dinner is breakfast food regularly. My typical go to is eggs, bacon and a green vegetable. I’m also staying low carb and not eating “anything I want” during my eating times. In this case, bacon should be ok?
Side note: Bill Nye doesn’t have any credibility on climate science.
Jeff I read somewhere that processed sugar doesn’t replenish the glycogen but goes straight into fat due to livers’ inability to process it as such
Dr Ken Berry says the same on nitrates don’t be afraid of them glad to hear you say the same. Sugar in bacon while I’d prefer none, under one gram per serving is that really something to be concerned of? Doesn’t seem so. Pasture raised not just grain feed is probably more important…thoughts?
Good luck finding bacon that has no sugar in it’s ingredients or even organic bacon.. I live next store to a huge grocery store that has EVERYTHING in it even MCT oil but not bacon with no sugar or organic bacon…
Its obviously a lot more nuanced than calories in or calories out. If eat 1x per day vs two vs 5x. Additionally no body builder is supplementing a cookie for their sweet potato during their cutting cycle.
I’m a huge advocate of bacon.
Lost 25 pounds eating it while on my OMAD!
Only eat the nitrate free bacon, and only listen to criticisms of bacon that treat nitrates as bacon’s only health hazard.
Phew! I was seriously considering giving up bacon, but now I won’t have to!
Good. Even though I stopped eating bread, I break that rule on occasion to eat a bacon sandwich.
Thank you for this interview with Dr. Stephan Guyenet! I just got his book yesterday. What a coincidence! What he’s saying it’s exactly what I preach. We need more people like him…
Could you do a video about which meats are better based on omegas
Also notice all pro athletes cut carbs to lose fat. Tell them to cut protein and leave the carbs the same and watch them call you out.
Id love for you to interview Jason Fung about the body’s metabolic pathways being regulated by hormones like insulin, and how that has an effect on our internal functions. Calories is a term borrowed by physics but doesn’t have a physiologic response. You burn a food and test the energy it puts off and that determines its caloric value, but doesn’t determine whether or not the food spikes insulin, which is the hormone that opens up cells to take in energy. I disagree with the calories in calories out being the MAIN contributing factor. You eat carbs and fats in the same sitting, insulin levels rise, your body uses the carbohydrates as energy and stores the fat. Insulin presence inhibits fat mobilization.
I feel sorry for the kosher Jews and Muslims. They’ll never experience the greatness that bacon is.
When I was eating the standard American diet and I ate fatty pork it would quickly make my stomach churn and give me diarrhea in 2 hours. Once I went to keto it was my preferred meat and I had no problem with it. Now on keto/carnivore it seems that I have a similar problem eating beef fat. Something switched in my system.
They talked about weight gain in terms of carb eating or fat eating groups in studies but what about a combination of carb and fat group? Would it be the same or more or less than the other groups. Stephan Guyenet mentions the studies at around 30:00 both groups are virtually the same with a slight edge to the carb group. I’d imagine that simple sugars would burn up pretty quick.
Good video! I would also recommend Mike Dolche. He has some great common sense recommendations and a proven track record. Check out his channel. Thanks for the great info!
Base it on what your body does if you get to gassy while bulking with high carbs try lowering the carbs and a higher fat content. This will allow you to see what your body responds best to.
Honestly I’ve never tried bacon because I’m muslim I’m not allowed too I’m tryna keep it that way. Never tried pork and never will.
LOL! At this moment their are two cakes and a bag of cookies sitting in our breakroom. Also, my coworkers are ordering pizza with an extra order of cookies. It would be great if everyone around you would be supportive of your health journey. Fat chance that will actually happen at work (pun intended). Practice awareness and remember to breathe. Cravings are always temporary. You have to learn how to tell yourself no. I always pack a lunch. Always. Bring food from home and eat it. Don’t worry what other people think. I’m still asked every single time if I want cake or pizza. I just smile and say no thank you. Wear your big kid pants and stick to your own goals. What they do is their business!
10 Diet Truths
You may or may not know these, but they are an important place to start when you are on a weight loss journey.
1) One pound of fat equals 3,500 calories. Add that and you will be one pound heavier, subtract that and you will be one pound lighter. That’s Newton’s fourth law of the motion of calories. Move 3500 in, you are one pound heavier, move 3500 out and you are one pound lighter. I think Newton discovered this from eating too many apples that had fallen from that tree he was sitting under.
2) Your weight will be the total of your calorie availability versus your calorie utilization. Calorie availability relates to the intake, uptake and distribution of calories. Calorie utilization relates to the effect of the activity level and calorie usage. This accounts for factors such as metabolic rate, disease states, hormonal levels, drug usage, and the intensity and timing of activities and eating.
3) Specific, concrete diet plans work best, abstract concepts sound good but don’t work so well.
4) You will tend to over-estimate the amount of calories you use.
5) You will tend to under-estimate the amount of calories you consume.
6) The more meals a day you eat, the harder it will be to keep track of your calorie consumption. Eating consistent meals that you know the nutritional value of can be very useful to help negate this problem.
7) One helpful answer to reaching a lower-calories goal is to eat higher-volume, lower-calorie dense foods. These will make you feel full and still keep your total from being excessive.
8) As you lose weight, over time, you must continue to lower your calorie consumption or increase your calorie usage to keep losing weight.
9) Once you can establish good dietary behaviors, maintain them with a consistent plan. This will help you break any food addictions that you may have and allow you to build new habits that will carry you through the more difficult challenging times.
10) Don’t avoid the scale. It’s just a number, but it’s your number and you must face that reality if you are ever going to make progress and reach your weight loss goals. You don’t need to use the scale every day in the beginning of your weight loss journey; probably once a week will work. Look at the general trend. If it is in the wrong direction, change your behaviors; do not make useless excuses to rationalize what is happening.
Stephan kinda looks like a grown up version of Kevin from home alone
The pork is such bad for you that you can ignore the “benefits” (which actually are not that special really since you can find choline in a variety of 120+ foods) it comes with. Got ya some stats.
ANIMAL FOODS
MG IN 100 G
egg yolk raw 682.3

Moms shouldn´t be afraid of bacon, they should simply eat other things that exclude pork meat.
The pork and red meats are usually high in cholesterol that with the fact that the pork red meat is not pure meat but at an intracellular level, pork meat contains fat, a lot. Yeah you read it. The “benefit” is negligible. Then you have to consider that 70% of pork meat is infected with some forms of bacteria and parasytes. It really does not worth the trouble. And hey, you are free to do what you want to with your body, I am only here to advise you. Stay healthy and have a nice day!
Bacon can make you loose weight. Yes, moderation is important
So the serving size is the amount I should consume each day or every meal (3 meals a day)?
I once watched a viral video, in the video where people who often eat pork are cleaned with freckles on their faces using a special cleanser and it turns out there are worms that come out of the spots on their faces after they are cleaned
so basicly carbs is like meat and the keto guys are like vegans?
I thought this was a bacon bash. Thanks for the info. Just saying. Bacon is my favorite fruit. But u right about moderation. Les bacon food. More for me. Jk. But u all can not lie. As much as u luv it. It can be overwhelming in taste factor. Think of a BLT. No LT. Just bacon. I would be impressed to see.
Olives have high salt as well.
Get your 4,7 g of potassium a day.
Voila you Will feel fine.
7 Almonds contain that amount of potassium.
About the nitrates:
Salive has nitrates!
sir iam from India. my weight is 160 pounds and height is 173 cm, age 20, according to calories calculator my maintenance calories are 2400 but i am gaining 1 kg weight per week on 2500 calories, means my metabolism is slow so what is problem with my metabolism? help me
Lovely Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate at last got cool success with it.
I hate bacon because the balls OF pigs are ripped out just for bacon #veganlife
I don’t eat it often but I never thought it was that bad when well-cooked and mostly de-greased, but I guess most people still think of it as a dangerous food somehow. We were so miseducated for so long and now most of us are confused or even firmly believe the old dogmas about fat.
I was KETO for 2 years and down 70 pounds to 175. After carefully studying Oxalates for the last 6 months I have decided on Carnivore, which to me is fish,, pork, chicken, beef, cheeses, lamb, etc. I eat 2 meals a day about 2000 calories and have now dropped another 9 pounds in just 2 weeks to 166. My energy is through the roof and my lingering arthritis in my shoulder is about 95% gone!
I hope you’re proud over the fact that you’re promoting animal torture. Look up how your “bacon” is made, local farm or organic is marketing BS. The world is not only about what you can stuff in your mouth hole.
If you test the predictions of climate change alarmists they’ve always been horribly wrong. But we should still trust their bad computer models and give a bunch of money in carbon taxes because that’s what our overlords demand, right?
Time stamp around the 35 minute mark. This falls into the category for metabolic type. I always prescreen my clients with a metabolic type questionnaire and cross reference it too the Braveerman test. This gives a AWESOME starting point. YES calories matter but where they come from means more in my opinion. People will make fun of me for my methods of using organic food and none processed but it works. I get a lot of back lash for using Ray Peats research for Thyroid help. But it works EVERY TIME!! Not only or they losing or gaining muscle but overall they feel great. Great channel great discussion really love this video and opinions.
Great stuff!! More on the brain would be great, like on gut-microbiome-brain interactions if possible.
sugar consumption has gone down? First time I heard that claim

I still dont understand. But maybe i was distracted. This guy is hot.
It’s incredibly refreshing to find someone who actually gets into conversations and discusses the academic research revolves around diet, fitness, health, etc. instead of all of these ten min videos put on by PT gym bros who take a study or two just to support their narrative.
I love pork and bacon but I eat it from time to time due to the high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio. still better than eating vegetable oils thou.
youre always bringing on people you agree with (which is good, its educational). How about someone you disagree with (not looking for an argument, but a constructive debate)?
Cole Robinson, Snake Diet Wizard, will eat that snobby and wrong stephan guyenet alive.
Sugar consumption may have gone down, but I’m kinda interested to see the numbers on artificial sweeteners in that regard. We didn’t have those wildly available 20 years ago and I’d bet their consumption had gone up in a way that would explain why sugar went down while obesity rose. We’d need to see some actual numbers to make that claim, though.
I cant with bacon. Just give me a egg mcmuffin. And i dont bacon smell.
Doctors are like historians they have a degree to know nothing!
The religion of control and hate will be disapointed with this video be careful your kneck
1:38 when you think your strong but still gets seduced by the smell and taste of bacon
One day science will begin to understand the energy in food, specifically pork, and see why of all animals it is not wise to eat this one. Energetically it is equivalent to eating a 3 year old baby. They experience similar emotions. Enjoy your bacon though
I seem to need to eat greens with breakfast. That might be the case.
What’s stopping us losing weight? Insulin spikes from refined carbs.
My whey protein says 60 grams of protein. Than when I look on the back it says serving size 3 flat scoops 83.5g so how many scoops would I use I’m so confused
Pork is a problem for colitis sufferers? I have colitis and have interacted with 1000’s of IBD sufferers and meats including pork is not a problem. It is the carbs that are a major concern.
Summary of comments on the JRE podcast’s YouTube page:
“Mommy, mommy… Stephan is so mean! Waah!”
Good video short and to the point loved it!! My only question is how many strips of bacon is a good amount to eat during meal time? I used to eat the whole package but cut it down to 4 strips with 3 eggs. LOL! I am a female doing Keto. Doing the whole package didn’t make me gain weight either! But I felt i should probably just do 4 pieces.
Sodium is good for you and some people need fat for their brains. Not everyone needs fat because they don’t have brains. Well, they have brains, but they don’t exactly work.
If anyone wants good bacon go to USwellness meats.com, their bacon is only pork and sea salt grass fed.
Dr Nick Fabulous! Every good bacon video goes a little way towards dispelling all the lies.
And in the meantime… yuuuuuuuuummm.
On the Joe Rogan podcast you came across as a asshole..
you didn’t let the other person speak fully as most ppl agree
I’m vegetarian so I don’t like it anyway, but before I became meat-free the smell and taste of high in salt meats (bacon, salami, chorizo etc.) made me feel nauseous and have headaches, is it just a small allergic reaction or something else in my genetics or something.
this was from one day ago not 1970s…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHLbV9n4WPk
How’s it going?!! Just subbed to your channel. Have you ever thought of using FollowSM. c o m to get more subs?!
I just came back across this video and noticed something that I didn’t before. I would certainly agree that the CICO model as Jeff explains it is correct and is the only true way to lose weight, but can anybody help me understand how the 1st Law is applicable to us as an open system? If we monitor and control all inputs and outputs does that make a closed system which then the law can be applied to? Or is it just a general consensus that although we are an open system the way we experience inputs and outputs makes the law applicable?
if you just ate pastured bacon and drank water your entire life you would be healthy because it literally has all the nutrients you require.
I forced myself to watch Rogan confrontation but it wasn’t a discussion; neither side was listening; and although Stephan had the research data you still have to wonder if they are asking the right questions. I say this because I’m 65 and basically I can eat what I like and as much as I want, which is lot by the way eating and drinking out is my hobby; yet at 65, when your metabolism is supposed to have slowed I have very little body fat so so where is all the excess energy going, I still train six days a week but nowhere near the level I did in my 40s, just nowhere near.
This is why when I eat bacon, I don’t eat anything else afterwards. (I don’t smoke or anything so I don’t have anything else that slowly kills me, and I only have bacon once a week, my friends have it pretty much every day)
It also contains lots of
#PARASITES!! all these
Misconceptions of what
Is healthy and not
Healthy foods to eat
Are confusing..i watch
Alot of documentary about parasites..and
Eating PORK is very
Unhealthy for the
Digestive Tracts..
It’s still a processed food. Not something I’d want to have regularly.
Interesting discussion while cooking. I think Jeff’s long video will be part of my cooking routines for a while. Merci Jeff!
eliminate SAD standard american diet of sugar, white flour, processed food, high fructose corn syrup, fast food and results are better health. Intermittent fasting, eliminate bad carbs, eat low carbs, exercise, and adequate sleep than bacon, eggs, avocados, coconut oil, is all good.
Sadly 100% fake news because I really like bacon.
NEW study 51 million patients 4 strips per day TRIPLE colon cancer risk. iacr.fr
MD X 40 years all my patients over 100 were plant based no meat eaters lived to 100
bluezones.com the way to go.
NitrAtes and nitrItes: two different letters; two difference pronunciations.
I love bacon….but I don’t eat 8lbs of it a year….damn….. If I’m lucky….maybe 1lb total…..!
So much useful information, thank you for making this channel and educating all you viewers ☺️ Loving learning from your every video
That dude is lost is LOST in the shit of the academic stables.
I’m still done with bacon until lab grown meat replaces it.
I just like pigs and I can’t stand their treatment on farms.
After seeing this vid I eat bacon and strawberries for breakfast every Saturday
Love this, thanks so much for the time stamps it makes the video a whole lot more accessible
As a flexitarian, striving for a better environment etcetera etc, bacon/pork is my primary NOGO.
I feel that simply approaching life from a health perspective is rather 1dimensional.
if bacon causes cancer, so be it I’d get over ninety years old, so if I get cancer atleast I will longer than the average vegan domigouge lol
Have you bothered to read the comments following this asshole’s appearance on the Rogan podcast? If you had you probably wouldn’t have invited this arrogant prick. Gary Taubes would have been an infinitely better guest.
Yo Jeff this is by far my favorite video from you. Im such a nerd haha but wow, this was a gold mind of information. Thanks for conducting this interview.
Ok, I hear you. But when I eat conventional bacon, I feel shitty after. I’m also talking about nitrites mostly. I’m thinking of buying “Butcher Box meat to eat cleaner meats. What’s your take on this? I can’t eat, GMO fed animals. I have leaky gut issues, and fybromiagia. And pollips in my colon. The last colon cleanse almost killed me. I couldn’t digest any food at all. And in horrible pain. I’m on Ketogenic diet. Love the food . I’m turning alot of people on it. But if I eat bacon and eggs, I don’t feel good after. Why?
make your own bacon from pork butts instead of buying it made from bellies, some great videos on you tube for buck board bacon
Eat less calories than you burn thats the easiest way. Otherwise, it’s a ton of things all at once. Sugar is the worst bc of insulin spikes.
I found a bacon that is lower sodium, and no sugar, at Aldi’s for $3.49 for a pound. The brand is called Appleton farms. It’s a great purchase all around, good fat, filling, only $3.49/#, no sugar at all, or stupid dextrose, and it’s not $4.98 a pound like the one at Walmart
Believe it or not, there is actually something better than crispy, fried bacon.
Boiled bacon!
