Do the Hadza eat a high fiber diet?


This is what I observed from my time with the Hadza and some other hunter gatherer groups in Tanzania and Uganda.

This is an excerpt from my appearance on the Road to Recovery podcast – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCvtwaTcyTUcEb4DFBuWBVA/featured

  1. These researchers study actual data. They weight and measure things over a period of years and decades with the tribe etc. But this Dunning-Kruger exemplar spends an afternoon with them and thinks he knows better. (Didn't even mention the Baobob fruit or honey where they get a huge portion of their calories …or the fact they eat tons of ugali now) Perfect man to make a documentary

  2. Everyone is biased . But it’s hurtful to see people like Tim Spector distorting the facts . What I see is the hazdabe people work hard for their foods . They eat meat ( something Spector omits ) , eat simple carbs mostly ( berries and honey) , use no extracted fats ( everything is roasted ) and smokes loads of marijuana.

  3. I forgot to add that people are asking about salt in the Hadza diet.
    The Hadza people frequently eat insects, larvae and all kinds of bugs, insects contain all manner of nutrients including salt also natural water from tubers,roots and underground wells in Tanzania has amounts of sodium and electrolytes not like Lake Natron LOL.
    I would also warn Westerners going to meet the Hadza that you do it with a professional government guide and just don't drink or eat the local meat and water(Yes you get morons doing that!) or you will stand a very high chance of getting very sick and dying. The Hadza have a totally different gut Microbiome than Westerners.

  4. There's a lot of misconception going around about man's natural diet and that misconception is usually from White middle-class idiots that are usually "doctors" like Spector and Gundry.
    Now let me introduce myself, I am a professional cameraman and I've spent most of my life travelling the world filming various native people including the Hadza Tribe in Tanzania.
    The Hadza do eat plants and roots but ONLY when meat is not available and especially if they are going on a hunt, a long hunt for example their favourite Baboon meat.
    They chew roots to get the starch ie Glucose to give them quickly available energy for a hunt to catch their primary source of food, Animal meats and organs, meat is not always available and spoils easily in the high heat, so if you are really hungry you have to look for alternatives to survive until you can catch more meat. (and let me tell you it's NOT easy even for these very experienced hunters)
    The body is a machine a perfect hunting survival machine and these people don't have bulging muscles or adonis-type abdominal muscles like the Western world craves, but their hearing, eyesight, sense of smell and reactions are far superior to any athletes we have.
    If you want to be healthy and make your body run at peak level, then eat animals and organ meats, have a little carb in the morning and the rest of the day nothing at all, until sundown, then you eat all the meat, fat, organs you want until you are full. Wake up the next day and repeat that cycle.
    It's really simple folks, but White western people have a way to overcomplicate everything even taking a shit.LOL.

  5. so this guy stayed with them for few days and came to some random conclusion? hadza eat based on seasonal availability, so it's possible the time he visited, it was when they are used to eating high meat diet

  6. GOD Loved you enough too send His Son JESUS for you and if you will believe in Him and at baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT and turn from your sins you will be

  8. Did you see the Hadza eat baobab? What about cooked tubers that look like logs that they throw over a fire? Did they eat wild berries? I've seen other first hand accounts and photos of Hadza doing these things.

  9. The Hadza cycle different foods. They can eat nothing but meat for some time, then nothing but carbs and fiber for some time. Your own personal short visit means nothing. Do some actual research instead of basing thing on "my experience"

  10. They eat heaps of fiber, all tribes did to keep them full in between catching animals to eat. If there was an abundance of meat they didn’t eat fiber because it doesn’t taste good. It’s very simple to understand.. so yes humans should try get plenty of fiber

  11. I wonder if raw liver eaters, including the Hadza, get liver flukes (a cattle liver parasite). I often ponder eating the liver raw but the thought of getting liver flukes is too off putting, so I usually fry it.

  12. For sure, a few of the vegan videos I've watched they seem to want to "own" the Blue Zone data and tout it as a "vindication" of their dietary claims, completely glossing over the fact that there isn't a single Blue Zone area that is vegan and a few of them eat diets that are very high in Olive Oil.
    I'm currently reading "Spoon Fed," (Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told about Food is Wrong) by Tim Spector who has also spent time with the Hadza.
    I look forward to his observations regarding their consumption of fibre.
    I trust him to tell it like he found it.

  13. if animal foods were our natural food, why do animal foods not taste good without condiments like salt? how come the only foods i like without condiments are fruit, nuts and honey? how come human milk is only 1% protein, which happens to be similar protein concentration as fruit, while meat is at 26%? how come we can metabolically run entirely on glucose (afaik) but only about 70% on ketones? maybe our natural diet is fruitarian. Do the Hadza enjoy meat without salt?

  14. We should be careful in extrapolating anything about THE human ancestral diet from people such as the Hadza and Inuit. All the more productive fertile lands around them have been taken and they have been forced onto marginal lands on the ragged edge of what is "habitable" by humans. They manage to survive but I don't think this tells us anything about the best way for us to thrive. The Hadza eat plants and animals and a boatload of honey and smoke like fiends. They have horrible teeth. Relevance to us? Maybe don't smoke. Otherwise nothing to learn here.

  15. I had heard about these people before, and that there was a big difference on their food between the wet season and the dry season. Would be interesting to talk to somebody who was there during the dry season for more than a few days

  16. Underneath this video I get 3 suggested videos about "plant based" food…I wonder why since I've never searched for vegan stuff🤔.Even the advert at the end was for some vegan crap, it's almost as if their is an agenda😉
