I don’t like to watch videos; I prefer reading info. I am suspecting this is a pro-low carb diet? The good gut bacteria would protest. They need starchy carbs and lots of them. Tubers and beans and even healthful unadulterated grains are their best friends. We need to feed them resistant starch. Our immune system and even our moods and hormones depend on it. Paleo was a great idea but did not go far enough. There are no bad macronutrients, even carbs.

What is bad is adulterated, unhealthy food: unhealthy animals, enriched foods, pesticides, flavorings, etc.

Here is something I stumbled across while studying Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA-specifically Butyrate). This is a good summary and provides some good research links towards the end:

The Definitive Guide to Resistant Starch

There are resistant starches that convert to SCFA in the large intestine. This is the result of gut flora.

Hope this is useful.
