Avocado

“I'm hitting my protein targets, but I'm not getting essential fats. Olive oil, avocado, almonds. I mean, these things are crucial, I think, for somebody in this situation. And I can't stress this enough that that's such so common.”

“It's actually something else. And it's not really the monounsaturated fat in the animal foods. So that gets to, you know, what do we do about olive oil and avocados? I think they're amazing, terrific, healthy foods, but it's probably not just the fats. And so extra virgin olive oil, as you know, has lots of anti-inflammatory compounds.”

“So, I tell people: if you're going to have a potato chip, it's not a health food, but if you're going to have one, find the highest fat one you can, dip it in olive oil, you know, have it with avocados, have it with more, more, more healthy fats. And so, I think there is a danger of demonizing”

“Every week. Every week or like every 10 days. I do some sardines at the end, hopefully, and then I get into some avocado, you know, towards the end so I can obviously... And then I try to intermittent fast two to two to nine every night.”

“So in one assay that was used by smoothie investigators, PPO activity was approximately 3,258 kilounits per 100 grams in banana compared with only 24 kilo units in avocado or 12 units in a high blueberry bush.”

“it has high PPO activity. I swap it with an avocado, which has low PPO activity because I like the creaminess. I like the monounsaturated fat, which increases the bioavailability of some of the other components that I add to my smoothie, which is kale.”

“Third, don't fight the craving. Crowd it out. Instead of removing sugar and leaving a hole, add fiber and fat at every meal. The vegetables, the olive oil, the avocado, the nuts. This feeds the bacterial strains that compete with the sugar-loving ones, and it slows how fast glucose hits your bloodstream.”

“It was a calorie restricted Mediterranean diet. Salmon. Sardines. Olive oil, avocado and exercise. Is that like, oh, man, that's the worst diet. What about the carnivore diet? What about the ribeye with a little sauce on top of it?”

“help reduce chronic inflammation and improve overall health. So what does an anti-inflammatory diet look like? Well, things like fruits, vegetables, nuts, fatty fish like salmon and sardines, and healthy fats like olive oil and avocados. Avoiding at all costs processed foods, sugary beverages, refined carbs, and something called trans fatty acids.”

“the path of healthy eating and they're putting olive oil on everything and avocado on everything because they're healthy foods, but they're putting so much of it because they want to feel like they're doing the healthy thing, but you're also skyrocketing your calories. So you have to at least be aware where and how you're applying your fats.”

“right? Things are not critically... Some people get so fired up about it. What about olive oil, avocado oil, avocados, nuts? I mean, we'll make it three fatty acids, fish. Those are all... If it's in a whole food, we have no issue with it, right? You have to be a little bit careful with exogenous oils just because, as you're aware, caloric intake just gets really, really high there.”

“there. But do we have our people eat nuts? Yeah. Avocados. Yes. Like all of the above, whole foods are almost always going to be on our list. You just be careful with additives.”
