Summary

TLDRIn this video, Rob Stewart shares crucial advice on the four worst foods to avoid when trying to heal eczema, tailored to two different diets: high-carb, low-fat plant-based and high-fat, high-protein. For those following a plant-based diet, he warns against oils, raw cruciferous vegetables, protein powders, and coffee. For the high-fat, high-protein diet, the same advice applies for cruciferous veggies and protein powders, but also includes avoiding raw dairy and high glycemic fruits. Stewart emphasizes listening to your body and avoiding highly processed foods to support overall skin and gut health.

Takeaways

  • πŸ˜€ Oils should be avoided in a high-carb, low-fat plant-based diet because they disrupt digestion and healing when combined with high-carb foods like fruits and vegetables.
  • πŸ˜€ Raw cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, Brussels sprouts) can cause gas and digestive discomfort and should be avoided in both high-carb and high-fat diets.
  • πŸ˜€ Protein powders (like whey, pea, and hemp) are processed foods that negatively impact digestion and gut health, and should be avoided for eczema healing.
  • πŸ˜€ Coffee is highly acidic and stimulates the digestive system, which can interfere with the healing process of eczema and other health issues.
  • πŸ˜€ A high-carb, low-fat diet should focus on whole, fiber-rich foods, not processed protein supplements, as the body gets sufficient protein from whole plant-based foods.
  • πŸ˜€ For high-fat, high-protein diets (carnivore, keto, paleo), raw dairy, especially raw goat milk, should be avoided as it can cause issues for most people.
  • πŸ˜€ High glycemic fruits, such as bananas, mangoes, and grapes, should be avoided in a high-fat, high-protein diet due to their sugar content and inability to combine well with fats and proteins.
  • πŸ˜€ While some people may tolerate certain foods (e.g., raw dairy), they are rare cases, and most people will experience digestive or skin issues when consuming them.
  • πŸ˜€ The speaker emphasizes the importance of consuming whole, unprocessed foods for skin and overall health, especially when trying to heal eczema or similar conditions.
  • πŸ˜€ The video distinguishes between two main dietary systems for healing eczema: high-carb, low-fat (plant-based) and high-fat, high-protein (animal-based), with tailored advice for each group.

Q & A

  • What are the two primary dietary systems discussed in the video?

    -The two primary dietary systems discussed are high carb low fat plant-based vegan diets (including Phase 1 of the detox system) and high fat high protein diets (such as carnivore, paleo, and keto).

  • Why should people on a high carb low fat diet avoid oils?

    -People on a high carb low fat diet should avoid oils because combining oils with high carbohydrate intake, especially from whole plant foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can cause digestive issues and hinder the healing process.

  • Why are raw cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower) problematic for eczema healing?

    -Raw cruciferous vegetables can cause digestive issues such as gas and bloating. They are harder to digest and may interfere with eczema healing. Cooking these vegetables can help, but some people may need to avoid them altogether.

  • Why are protein powders discouraged in the high carb low fat system?

    -Protein powders are discouraged because they are ultra-processed and not whole foods, which can disrupt gut health. They don't work well with fiber-rich diets and can negatively impact digestion and overall health.

  • What negative effects can coffee have on the body during a healing phase?

    -Coffee can exacerbate issues by overstimulating the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, intestines, and stomach. It introduces acidity and heat, which can interfere with the body's desire for balance and nourishment during a healing phase.

  • What are the four worst foods for individuals following a high carb low fat vegan diet in relation to eczema healing?

    -The four worst foods are oils (due to their negative interaction with high carbohydrate intake), raw cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower), protein powders (due to their processed nature), and coffee (because it adds acidity and stress to the body).

  • What should individuals on a high fat high protein diet avoid for eczema healing?

    -They should avoid raw cruciferous vegetables, high glycemic fruits like bananas, mangos, and grapes, as well as protein powders. They are encouraged to stick with whole animal products and focus on proper food combining.

  • What is the issue with high glycemic fruits for those on a high fat high protein diet?

    -High glycemic fruits like bananas and mangos can interfere with the healing process when combined with a high fat, high protein diet. These fruits can cause blood sugar spikes, which are not ideal for this dietary system.

  • Why is raw dairy not recommended in the video for healing eczema or improving gut health?

    -Raw dairy, including raw goat milk, tends not to work well for most people in the video creator's experience. While some people may report benefits online, raw dairy tends to disrupt the gut health and healing process for most individuals.

  • What advice does the speaker give about protein consumption on a high fat high protein diet?

    -The speaker suggests that individuals on a high fat, high protein diet don't need additional protein from powders. Instead, they should focus on whole food sources of protein like animal products and ensure proper food combinations.
