The speaker compares Mediterranean, ketogenic, carnivore, and vegan diets, recommends the Mediterranean diet as most effective at the population level, notes keto may work for short-term weight loss, warns about links between high meat consumption and disease, and recounts social difficulties experienced while following a vegan diet.

And I'm not suggesting that this is the only diet that's beneficial for you but from a population basis Mediterranean diet is the most effective. You can experiment with the keto diet or carnivore diet. I can't imagine eating a carnivore diet. All this very difficult. It probably is a food elimination diet because most foods if you are sensitive to are going to eat something other than meat for the most part. You say you get most of your nutrients eating meat but there is a link to excessive consumption meat and cancer, cardiovascular disease. We're sticking with the Mediterranean diet. You make your own decisions. Not a strong component of the keto diet other than for short term weight loss does seem to work for that. And I'm not a proponent of vegan diet because even though it's a very healthy diet, very hard in western society to be on a vegan diet. I did it for about two years. It was kind of like an social outcast where I went where are you getting your protein from? Where are you getting this from? People.
