Samir Gardner argues that people follow diet influencers without understanding how food affects their own bodies. Before trying vegan, keto, or paleo, pay attention to your hair, skin, and digestion to figure out what actually works for you instead of following dogmatic rules.
Yo, so it's Samir Gardner. Hope y'all doing good. So bro, in the F community, bro, there's one big problem that everyone is not really, really aware of, and the problem is people just listen to what they're being told rather than, you know, experiencing and/or learning from themselves, learning from within. So for example, me, bro, I went into a strict diet without even knowing anything about health. I just went because I saw like videos, the documentaries and everything. But bro, instead of trying to learn how the body works, I just went in and I believed those people. And you know what I had to learn is like, okay, let's say we're gonna take like the 3 big diets, okay, right now. So there's the vegan diet, there's the keto diet, and there's the Paleo diet, I think. So, you know, you gotta understand these 3 diets, you know, uh, in the vegan diet, for example, a lot of people know more about the vegan diet, but in the vegan diet you have people that teach you, um, not teach you, but like, you know, the knowledge. They say, oh, vegan is the best and everything, vegan, uh, gives you every nutrients, uh, vegan is way better than eating meat. And then in the keto diet, it's like It's like, nah, you shouldn't eat carbs. You should eat animal protein. You should eat this and that. And then the paleo diet, it's like, you should eat how other people used to eat back then with the food they had and everything. So you gotta understand, these people's beliefs in every diet, these 3 diets, is they think what they do is the right thing. But that doesn't make sense at the same time. They think, okay, the vegan be like, oh, the keto doesn't work. The vegan be like, oh, the paleo doesn't work. The keto be like, oh, the vegan doesn't work. And they be like, the paleo doesn't work. And it's the same thing, you know? These people just have the belief of their own thing, and you know, that makes people like not open-minded. People, I think before going on a strict diet, before trying to improve your diet and everything, just try to eat more healthy and see how it makes your body feel, okay? See, make your own opinion on what makes your body feel good, what makes, you know, just your body function well, okay? So one thing you got to do instead of trying to see, oh, which food should I eat, which foods should I cut off and everything, Try to see, okay, is my hair falling out? Is my skin clear? Is my bowel movement— am I going to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a day? These are the things you got to be worrying about. Not, oh no, I shouldn't eat this, I shouldn't eat that, I should eat this instead, or I should eat more protein, I should eat more carbs. Like, bro, you got to make your own decisions. You know, people will be like, oh, this person said, 'Oh, I cannot eat this food, so— and I believe this dude because everyone believes in him and everything.' Like, bro, make your own decision. You don't have to follow a diet 100%. Like, you can't— you can't— that, that's the problem with diet. It's like they label certain food and then you, you want to eat that food, but this, this diet doesn't eat it, so you're like, 'Oh, I'm not gonna eat it also.' But bro, just make your own opinion on what makes your body function, what makes your body feel good, because not everyone is the same, you know. You know the 3 diets I told you? Someone can be as healthy on a vegan diet as someone on a keto diet, and they're eating like the contrary, you know what I mean? Like, they just, you know, it's crazy, but You gotta be more, you know, you gotta make your own opinion basically. That's all I want to say, so that's it for the vid.
