I'm not even on Keto, and I've watched SO MANY of these videos. I just really enjoy learning about what ingredients i should avoid and what some of the things in the ingredients list actually mean! Thanks!
Love your grocery hauls. If u had more hours in the day would love to see you cook those hauls into keto meals. Maybe a spin off channel with Amber????
Thomas you’re the man! As an anesthesiologist I love and respect how you integrate physiology into your diet and nutrition plans! You’ve helped me start my channel and help others with their fitness and health goals!! Keep up the good work 👊🏼
Thanks to you, I knew this was a good deal: Sam's has organic grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef for $4.98 a pound. I was like, "Ooooh, Thomas would make a whole video just about this."
I would like to see a video where you show a week's plan of all meals. This is what I find most complicated, to have a plan of what to cook in order to be able to know what to get when grocery shopping.
This was extremely helpful!! I’ve been watching you for almost 3yrs! You introduced me to Keto! I’m actually going to Whole Foods for the first time this week. Wish me luck on my Keto journey!
if only we could all boycott or just stick to online grocery shopping🤓... stores might be forced to drop the nazi mask rules... or better yet stores could stop enforcing a stupid rule that does nothing to prevent covid19 🤷♂️ if businesses would stand together and stop the mask rules we'd get society closer to getting back to normal sanity 😎
I mean technically back when he made this vid, you Americans should've been masked up already, cuz it was already spreading in there, unbeknownst to most tho
MARXism IS ANTI FREEDOM WELCOME ABOARD.....WATCH LESS TV & BOYCOTT FACEBOOK, & MEDITATE TO CREATE FOCAL POINTS TO CANCEL IGNORANCE...... THANKS FOR GOING TO STORE W REAL FOOD THOMAS......
R. B I get a mix because sometimes the fresh produce is already oxidizing but I will get them if they look good but I also get frozen because they also cool my smoothies so I don’t need to add ice
@@r.b4889 he will get fresh but he is trying to educate people that frozen is just as good if not better due to the flash freezing compared to some produce that takes weeks or days before getting to market.
wow Thomas that was fantastic i spent about 2 hours watching and writing down notes!! thank you so much i feel like the word thank you is never enough to show you how much i am thankful for all the knowledge you give us everyday! i will just say I love you and God bless you and your sweet family.. i need to give the whole food store in houston a hit now..
I feed my dog a balanced, raw diet, but had no idea those chicken livers & gizzards were so nutritious for humans too. I learn so much from these videos. Thank you for exposing the truth about food!
Re eggs: I recently found a local store which sells supplies and feed to people with tiny home gardens /chicken coops. Anyway, they stock and sell meat and eggs from more local farmers than my farmers market. Being local, they are fresher and cheaper than Vital Farms and you can even go visit the farms sometme to see how the chickens are actually pasture raised and see that their supplemental feed is actually certified organic or at least non-GMO. I recommend checking to see if there is a store like this in your city. Also, the eggs at Whole Foods and most grocery stores are a scam and someone should start a class-action lawsuit IMO. Unless you get "pastured raised", you are better off buying eggs at Aldi or elsewhere for around 50¢ a dozen. All these "cage-free" and "free-range" and "vegetarian fed" (the worst) eggs are truly just marketing lies made to extort money and should be illegal. Choice should be 100% pastured, or cheapest possible.
@@glorioskiola yes, I know. My Whole Foods also sells a Pasture egg from a local source too. When I called the eggs at WF a scam, I meant only the ones that they sell for more than a buck/dozen that aren't Pastured. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Also don't fall for the 'vegetarian' fed. I have chickens. As soon as I let them out for the day they immediately start digging & scouring for bugs, worms, etc. That is how they eat naturally. They do have food I supply in their feeders & garden scraps but hands down they love 'fresh meat' 😁.
Nice video, although I live in Europe so pretty much none of the food brands you mentioned exists here, but I try to look for equivalent stuff. It's helps when you don't just recommend a brand but clarify what kind of stuff you want in the product. Otherwise I would like to see a video like this specifically for vegan keto products
I started my keto diet. I just wanted to brag I got to love and hens organic no antibiotics no none of that bull crap. They get organic greens everyday at 1 with Organic corn that's their salad with tomatoes. Very high quality organic food and scratch. Love from Florida
Its funny how we, in Germany, usually only have 2 kinds of cottage cheese. Full fat and reduced. And its always 2 components. Pasteurized Milk, Salt :D
I use to skip over this guy's commercials. Now I am totally hooked on him! Love all the explanations of the food products! I found him when I wanted to improve my health.
Bro, seriously, thank you for doing this. So extremely helpful. I love your videos, and they have helped me tremendously in my first month of switching to a ketogenic diet. I’ve learned a lot from you, so again, thank you !!
It's good that you continue to remind us to check the labels. At the Kroger where I used to live, I was trying to get the Organic Heavy Whipping Cream... and I asked the employee and he looked it up on his handheld device... saying yeah, we have in this brand... but, the ones in the dairy section had the carrageenan. It wasn't until weeks later that I found the one without the carrageenan in the natural foods section. So they had 2 different formulations of the same product...Keep your eyes open people!! Or you will get caught in the crap...
I LOVE this video ❤️ so much great information. We don’t even have a Whole Foods, but i get to go a few times a year when we’re out of town and never know what to look for.
Can you please talk about what kind of “vegan meat and foods” a person can eat if they are on regular keto. I’m not a vegan but I do want to start eating as much plant based foods as I can and I do not plan on going on a vegan keto. If you can please touch on vegan foods that a regular person on keto can eat. I would appreciate it! Thanks for all your hard work that you put into your videos, it’s changing peoples life for the best including myself and my family! HOPE YOU SEE THIS:)
That clear statement of "raised with no antibiotics ever" is much more reliable than the "never any" logo imo. These video are so informative and really helpful.
Thomas, your grocery haul/tour videos are the best I've seen thank you for the time and effort you put into these vids and please keep up the good work
Re: egg iinformation. In a fresh egg, we can see white cords attached to the yolk sac. These two cords, called chalazae, are made of twisted strands of mucin fibers that are a special form of protein. The chalazae hold the yolk in the center of the egg. The yolk is the source of food for the embryo and contains all the fat in the egg. Just wanted to share to aid in knowledge. I like your videos very informative.
Unaware avocado came frozen & so many have gone bad. The lutein is a must as lost sight in one eye from eye disease & keeping other eye healthy. Big Thanks!
Hi Thomas, I would love a video on the different fatty acid profiles of the different Meats. Just comparing them and explaining why some are better than others. You say it all the time but I don't really know why.
*I love watching grocery hauls, and this keto-specific haul is fantastic! It's great to learn about new products and get insights into how to make smart choices while following a ketogenic lifestyle. Thanks for sharing this educational video* 😊
You can buy raw nuts and soak them in a salt brine (to negate the phytic acid) then dehydrate. I like to salt them before dehydrating. I used to dislike walnuts because of their bitter chalky taste. Soaking and dehydrating totally fixes that!
Thomas I’m not sure if you will ever see this but I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for taking us into account who are financially struggling, have to adhere to strict budgets, etc. it means so much and makes you all the more real & relatable. 💛💛👍👍👍
Great information. Have been waiting for this one! The only I could think about however was, this goes against how my mom taught me to shop. That meat was out of the refrigerated section for at least an hour! 🤣
I like how you watch prices. No names mentioned, but watching other videos I cant afford a weeks haul like that. This one is gives you options. And you are realistic with it. You look at ingredients AND price. Ive probably only bought 5 items from Whole Foods total, but may have to make a trip soon.
This Whole Foods plays good music! As a Californian who’s been living in France for 10 years, I miss Whole Foods and TJs so much. There’s a surprising lack of healthy convenient food here.
Great video! You are teaching me so much! I want to share how I rock my nut milk sitch. NUT MILK HACK: If you have a blender, mix a few tablespoons of the nut/seed butter of your choice with water, pinch of salt and blend. Then you can use little bento box sauce containers to portion out snack sized servings from the jar. I buy the really good organic stuff when it’s on sale. Good for the budget. Try it!
I enjoyed shopping/watching with you. Helps me to get the right choices on a budget . I take down notes so I know what to get when I shop. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge and researched you’ve done. From Jacksonville Florida 🇵🇭😋
in france almond milk tastes very nutty and its thin and watery and u have to shake it alot to mix the almond bits, but its alot better than american brands where they thicken it and add fillers to mimic dairy milk for all the american tastebuds
Thank you so much! I just start keto, so yours videos number one helping thing. I live in Canada now, and English my sechond lang., so it take me time to understand all this small latters on products facts. But I so much study from you just in few days. You have no idia how much I appritiate! I wish you and your famally all the best, be happy good man!
Hey Thomas, we always hear we should be eating specific foods but what don’t hear is how often we should eat said foods. For example if I have sardines do the benefits last a day 3 days a week? Should I eat them everyday? The same with liver, how often should we consume these types of items?
Yea definitely good question...I did the same and started getting sardines and liver this year...just like every other day or so and like the liver twice a week maybe just try and be consistent with it...got the liver at sprouts and sardines at either Walmart or trader joes which are really good
The best tools for shopping at Whole Foods are the internet and your freezer. I check on line before I go to bargain hunt. A few weeks ago they had grass finished ground beef for $4.99. I filled my freezer. Great video, but i wish you had weighed in on their “Step” system for meat. I’d love to hear your take on it.
I live 30 minutes from Eel River Farm! Was totally surprised and excited to see their meats are on your grocery haul. We started drinking Eel River Breweries Clarify after we started Keto. We love our local friends!
Thanks for the haul, Thomas. When you went through your chocolate pudding recipe, I had to stop your video to go make some for myself and it was really good. Sometimes I get a few one-pound packages of frozen broccoli, berries, peaches, mangoes, etc. at Dollar Tree for --yep--one dollar each--and they are good. The rest of their cold case isn't worth taking home for free but their frozen real food is pretty good. Unfortunately, there is no Whole Foods or Trader Joe's near me.
I have to take a variety of tests for my job at a group home once a year. In the food safety test, one of the questions you would get wrong, Thomas, is on what groceries should be purchased first to last when grocery shopping.
I really enjoy these videos. I sit in my chair and take notes. I would enjoy watching food prep after a grocery run. How you combine your ingredients to make a delicious meal.
I find it cheaper to buy in bulk or direct from the seller. It is expensive to start off, since you are buying everything. You won't have to buy everything at the same time after that. I go to costco for the Kerrygold butter, walnuts, pecans, coffee, spring water, eggs. I order live good fats bars online with a discount for 1st purchase. I get a Butcher box every month. I go to the grocery for everything else. Order vitamins , ACV, cacao from Amazon. I am not as clean as Thomas with my diet, but the longer I do it I have noticed I make additional tweaks over time.
Thank you so much for these grocery shopping videos!! So valuable and helpful for me! It’s one thing to do just a haul, but the fact that you’re in the store showing us the products on the shelf is so great!
An Instant Pot has helped me immensely on my Keto diet. Garden veg & meat are more tasty. Greek yogurt is simple with your fav milk--best tasting ever. Thanks for inspiring us on Keto!
hey Thomas, i just found you're videos and they have thought me so much. im not on keto but i do try and eat a clean diet so your food shop halls have taught me so much about looking at labels and what to try and avoid to be getting best ingredients for you're body. i never knew the penut butter i buy had a lot of dextrose and multidextrose in it. here in austria i eat a lot of local food from farms and markets but the stuff i get from the supermarket now is so much better now i know what to look for. thank you so much for starting youtube!
Whole milk yogurt, whole milk dairy, grass fed if you can find it. I do drink grass fed (100%) milk because it is low on the glycemic value and it is high quality fat for a budget friendly price. Remember milk is a complete meal in and of itself never consume milk with a meal, because you're actually consuming 2 meals at once. I will have a glass of milk with 4 eggs for breakfest, and I get a 4 to 6 hour sation from the combination. Although I am not counting ketones, I aim for fat adaption. Keep in mind to drink milk warm as cold milk is very hard on the stomach.
One thing I've noticed with most videos re: Keto from various people. No one seems to talk about how to do Keto when one is intolerant/allergic to gluten and dairy. Like myself (but not celiac). Would you be so kind as to consider doing a video or two like that?
Arizzona Online Most keto food has no gluten. If you just eat food and not keto products then you’re not eating gluten if it’s a keto food. For dairy, you can just exclude it. I don’t eat either and have no issues eating keto.
watch paul mason's lectures, dr jason fung's lectures, dr eric berg's mini talks. aged dairy from Europe are much better loaded with vitamin K2 and probiotics. You can eliminate dairy from your keto. It is automatic gluten free unless you eat plan proteins as a vegan for vegan keto.
How do you add bulk to your meals? a bag of broccoli for the whole week, for 3 people? I think there is nothing wrong with adding greens, whole grains and beans for bulking the meals and making you feel satiated. For example, I won't feel satiated if I eat beef and greek yogurt for lunch/dinner. I want a big plate full of different flavors. For example, for breakfast I eat: whole grain, greens, eggs, cheese, avocado. For lunch a have a stew/soup with beans/peas, veggies and meat/sardines (I don't cook the sardines, I just add them afterwords).For dinner, I ll have some chocolate, berries and nuts with raw honey and nut butter, and call it a day.
Wow, those prices are high. We have organic eggs for 3.99 and sometimes, 2.99. At Oliver's Market, they have grass fed ground chuck for 7.99 a lb. Just looking at the difference. Thanks for this video. I enjoyed it.
It's frustrating to know how much the S.A.D has contributed to the obesity epidemic. Every body is different in the way that they process/breakdown/store the sugar, carbs, and fats in food and drinks. To say that the SAD recommendations of eating are "the right way" is narrow and, in the case of current obesity trends, not conducive. Thanks for providing us all the nutritional lifestyle alternatives you provide. The visible, measurable and sustainable results from having adopted a Keto Lifestyle demonstrate how helpful it has been to many of us. PS: The 365 Unsweetened Almond Milk, Good Culture CC, Kerrygold Butter, Eggs, Avocados, Walnuts, and the Fage yogurt are STAPLES in my fridge because of your recommendations! 🥑🥑🥑
This is quite honestly your must informative and helpful video ever. I feel like i'm making smarter choices health wise without breaking the bank. I think the best tip was getting the fat from red meat and not from the chicken, totally didn't know that!
I can't believe I watched almost a whole hour of someone else shopping. Love the channel, I just don't usually go for the shopping hauls. I have always read the labels. What I don't know is how you can stomach the chicken livers. How are you cooking them so they don't taste like breaded fried pennies?
Thank you Thomas for this video! I started following you back in 2018 and I’ve lost 50 pounds. Since intermittent fasting, shopping at whole foods has been a little easier since we don’t eat as much and we don’t do snacks. Sometimes, it was still costing too much at WF for the 4 of us. So thanks for this!!!
I'm not even on Keto, and I've watched SO MANY of these videos. I just really enjoy learning about what ingredients i should avoid and what some of the things in the ingredients list actually mean! Thanks!

The best tools for shopping at Whole Foods are the internet and your freezer. I check on line before I go to bargain hunt. A few weeks ago they had grass finished ground beef for $4.99. I filled my freezer.
Great video, but i wish you had weighed in on their “Step” system for meat. I’d love to hear your take on it.
I am so happy my butcher has his own farm where he raises all his own cows. A lot more easy
Boy that is the truth!!
Yeah, I heard that pasture raised is the way to go. I have to look into that more.
I live 30 minutes from Eel River Farm! Was totally surprised and excited to see their meats are on your grocery haul. We started drinking Eel River Breweries Clarify after we started Keto. We love our local friends!
Thank you for sharing your videos. Super helpful.
These clean grocery shopping vids is great. Need more please!! Maybe add food prep ideas. Any instapot ideas?
Thanks for the haul, Thomas. When you went through your chocolate pudding recipe, I had to stop your video to go make some for myself and it was really good. Sometimes I get a few one-pound packages of frozen broccoli, berries, peaches, mangoes, etc. at Dollar Tree for --yep--one dollar each--and they are good. The rest of their cold case isn't worth taking home for free but their frozen real food is pretty good. Unfortunately, there is no Whole Foods or Trader Joe's near me.
WE NEED A VIDEO OF YOU COOKING ALL THE GROCERIES YOU BOUGHT!
I have to take a variety of tests for my job at a group home once a year. In the food safety test, one of the questions you would get wrong, Thomas, is on what groceries should be purchased first to last when grocery shopping.
Nothing makes me more upset on why no one talks about hemp seeds 😓which blows all the nuts and seeds out the water.
I really enjoy these videos. I sit in my chair and take notes. I would enjoy watching food prep after a grocery run. How you combine your ingredients to make a delicious meal.
Beef liver , kidney, heart, tongue, etc. Frozen section.
Turbotomass Yes!
I find it cheaper to buy in bulk or direct from the seller. It is expensive to start off, since you are buying everything. You won't have to buy everything at the same time after that. I go to costco for the Kerrygold butter, walnuts, pecans, coffee, spring water, eggs. I order live good fats bars online with a discount for 1st purchase. I get a Butcher box every month. I go to the grocery for everything else. Order vitamins , ACV, cacao from Amazon. I am not as clean as Thomas with my diet, but the longer I do it I have noticed I make additional tweaks over time.

Thank you so much for these grocery shopping videos!! So valuable and helpful for me! It’s one thing to do just a haul, but the fact that you’re in the store showing us the products on the shelf is so great!
Really great video. I'd like to hear more about A1 vs A2 in milk and cheeses.
An Instant Pot has helped me immensely on my Keto diet. Garden veg & meat are more tasty. Greek yogurt is simple with your fav milk--best tasting ever. Thanks for inspiring us on Keto!
Do I now hear Third Eye Blind "How's it gonna be" playing on the Whole Foods speaker system?
hey Thomas, i just found you're videos and they have thought me so much. im not on keto but i do try and eat a clean diet so your food shop halls have taught me so much about looking at labels and what to try and avoid to be getting best ingredients for you're body. i never knew the penut butter i buy had a lot of dextrose and multidextrose in it. here in austria i eat a lot of local food from farms and markets but the stuff i get from the supermarket now is so much better now i know what to look for. thank you so much for starting youtube!
Sorry dude, I saw dollar signs the second you walked through the door! 😂💰💰💰💰💰💰
What is that supposed to mean?
Whole milk yogurt, whole milk dairy, grass fed if you can find it. I do drink grass fed (100%) milk because it is low on the glycemic value and it is high quality fat for a budget friendly price. Remember milk is a complete meal in and of itself never consume milk with a meal, because you're actually consuming 2 meals at once. I will have a glass of milk with 4 eggs for breakfest, and I get a 4 to 6 hour sation from the combination.
Although I am not counting ketones, I aim for fat adaption. Keep in mind to drink milk warm as cold milk is very hard on the stomach.
One thing I've noticed with most videos re: Keto from various people. No one seems to talk about how to do Keto when one is intolerant/allergic to gluten and dairy. Like myself (but not celiac). Would you be so kind as to consider doing a video or two like that?
Arizzona Online Most keto food has no gluten. If you just eat food and not keto products then you’re not eating gluten if it’s a keto food. For dairy, you can just exclude it. I don’t eat either and have no issues eating keto.
watch paul mason's lectures, dr jason fung's lectures, dr eric berg's mini talks. aged dairy from Europe are much better loaded with vitamin K2 and probiotics. You can eliminate dairy from your keto. It is automatic gluten free unless you eat plan proteins as a vegan for vegan keto.
How do you add bulk to your meals? a bag of broccoli for the whole week, for 3 people? I think there is nothing wrong with adding greens, whole grains and beans for bulking the meals and making you feel satiated. For example, I won't feel satiated if I eat beef and greek yogurt for lunch/dinner. I want a big plate full of different flavors. For example, for breakfast I eat: whole grain, greens, eggs, cheese, avocado. For lunch a have a stew/soup with beans/peas, veggies and meat/sardines (I don't cook the sardines, I just add them afterwords).For dinner, I ll have some chocolate, berries and nuts with raw honey and nut butter, and call it a day.
$185 for three bags of groceries. LOL.
$8 lb for chicken breast? Holy hell that's expensive.
Right? My yearly salary would have to double, before I'd be comfortable being able to purchase that.
Wow, those prices are high. We have organic eggs for 3.99 and sometimes, 2.99. At Oliver's Market, they have grass fed ground chuck for 7.99 a lb. Just looking at the difference. Thanks for this video. I enjoyed it.
It's frustrating to know how much the S.A.D has contributed to the obesity epidemic. Every body is different in the way that they process/breakdown/store the sugar, carbs, and fats in food and drinks. To say that the SAD recommendations of eating are "the right way" is narrow and, in the case of current obesity trends, not conducive. Thanks for providing us all the nutritional lifestyle alternatives you provide. The visible, measurable and sustainable results from having adopted a Keto Lifestyle demonstrate how helpful it has been to many of us.
PS: The 365 Unsweetened Almond Milk, Good Culture CC, Kerrygold Butter, Eggs, Avocados, Walnuts, and the Fage yogurt are STAPLES in my fridge because of your recommendations! 🥑🥑🥑
Sprouts has in house 100% grass fed sometimes in 2# packs at times for $3.99 a # regular price is $4.99 as far as flavor it is not too bad.
I would be that guy, slowly stalking him from 5 ft away, grabbing everything off the shelf that he just grabbed....
Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished Ground Beef is $4.99 a pound at HEB here in Texas. With my employee discount its $4.49 a pound.
It's much more entertaining to watch someone else grocery shop.
😁
This is quite honestly your must informative and helpful video ever. I feel like i'm making smarter choices health wise without breaking the bank. I think the best tip was getting the fat from red meat and not from the chicken, totally didn't know that!
Love these grocery hauls!!!
I can't believe I watched almost a whole hour of someone else shopping. Love the channel, I just don't usually go for the shopping hauls. I have always read the labels. What I don't know is how you can stomach the chicken livers. How are you cooking them so they don't taste like breaded fried pennies?
21:15 Red means STOP, green means GO!
Great info! Thanks.. I have been doing the poultry all wrong! I LOVE Vital farms too 👍🏼
Wow! how companies control us if we don’t watch them.
Thank you Thomas for this video! I started following you back in 2018 and I’ve lost 50 pounds. Since intermittent fasting, shopping at whole foods has been a little easier since we don’t eat as much and we don’t do snacks. Sometimes, it was still costing too much at WF for the 4 of us. So thanks for this!!!
I would like to see a non budget keto haul. 😀
I just like to watch your grocery shopping I’m learning from the right keto brand thanks Tom
Okay now I’d like to see the meals he makes with this.
The eggs you said are the best the black container are the only eggs on the market without soy 😀 I’m allergic to soy and learned that
This morning I literally bought everything in this video through amazon fresh without having to even leave my home.
Love, love, love this kind of videos!!!! We need one on Sprouts
Creep by Radiohead in background durring milk portion.
I buy my macadamia nuts (no oil added, just salt) at the dollar store (canada) small package for 2.00. I get 2 snacks from a bag.
I want to go on a grocery haul with thomas!!!
I love all of your explanations. I was surprised that you didn’t look at expiration date on your eggs
You should do this at sprouts!!!
The stores you record at Thomas should thanks you for promoting them!! Your doing something amazing!!
