It can be, but it’s worth it. Think about what else you are spending your money on. I am sure there are some things that you can cut back on or prioritize. In my opinion, what you put in your body is super important. Make some cutbacks or some adjustments on how you are spending and what you are spending it on. Some items you do want premium, but some you do not. If you do some research and some homework, you will find that it is not expensive as you think. On this journey of health and quality foods, you will find good deals and certain ways to make things work without breaking the bank. 💪💪. And keep listening to Bobby, this dude rules!!
I know for me personally being a type 1 diabetic for the last 20 years, paying the money now for actual food is going to save a lot more money than I would have payed before too long from the health conditions I was about to start having. And I just feel a lot better and have a lot better cognitive ability.
I found you recently and I follow every day now. Part of your charm is that you make it seem so easy and I really get a chuckle out of your sense of humor with Art as well. I am hooked for life thank you so much❤️
Seriously. The biggest lie fitness people say is eating healthy cab be cheaper. Well sure if you're eating out and getting fast food all the time lol. But then I think I have to balance the cost with cost later( in healthcare costs,etc..). So I think even switching a few things is a great start for us!
The thing is that growing organic is more costly than growing non-organic so they have to pace the cost to the consumer. Also don't think farms are all big rich farms that should be able to take the extra cost because most farms are just family-run farms that don't make that much money anyway.
It is expensive but I break it down per meal. For example vital farms pasture raised organic eggs, $6 a dozen. This morning I made 3 eggs, 3 pancakes with a yogurt cup. All healthy(and Bobby approved items) I'll say it came out to maybe $4 for the whole meal. If I went out to my local diner like I always used to do, it would probably be double that. Another tip is start small. I started switching out a few items at a time so I got used to spending a little more on less food at whole foods versus my everyday store. Also meal prep is a great option. I meal prep my dinners on Sunday(for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) and then on Wednesday(for Thursday Friday Saturday). That way I know exactly what I need to buy at the store to keep costs down.
I eat fairly clean, I enjoy Lindt 85%. Even my 11 year old enjoys it, not too bitter. They use real vanilla and Demerara sugar. Demerara has a lower GI than most other sugars and in 4 big squares (40g) it's only 5g of sugar! 9 net carbs. I usually have 2 squares, 4.5 net carbs, and that satisfies my sweet tooth, unless it was one of those days.
Thank you so much for this video! You literally saved my life. I had just gotten denied for life insurance because of an A1c level of 7.8. I was mortified and didn't know what to do as I love chocolate. Your video showed me how to shop for and enjoy sugar free chocolate. As a result my A1c is now at 6 or below and I was able to lose 30 lbs. God bless you Bobby!
Look into the glucose goddess she changed my life! A lot Chocolate produced in South America has been showing heightened cadmium and lead. Make sure chocolate is from Africa. There are lists of a lot of chocolates and their metal content. If you have one you like you can check it out. I eat Dr bronners and sometimes Lily's.
I'm new to the Flavor Family. Just found your channel a few weeks ago and I've learned so much and judging by the number of unseen videos, still have so much more to learn! I ordered your keto cookbook and it came on Sunday. Your shirts always crack me up and I wanna give Rose's cheeks a little smoosh. You're a beautiful family. Thanks for doing all that you do. Can't wait to start shopping with all this knowledge so my family can be healthier. Keep on cookin', mad love, and...peace!
Great video. I've been watching a lot of your uploads in the past few days. The are really good! Went to the supermarket yesterday and it was a new experience. Looked at everything differently. Thanks!
I am a vegetarian but I have in the last month read all my labels and completely overhauled my kitchen to be organic, no gmo and low to no sugar. I still say grains because I can't digest lactose so my diet is pretty restrictive anyway, mostly vegan. I wanted to say thanks you because my mom fasting blood sugar went from 106 which is prediabetic to 80 which is completely normal. I have been fighting diabetes off and making those changes helped so much. Also I don't get hypoglycemia anymore. I used to have to eat to prevent feeling sick, now I can go a while between eating and I directly connect that to taking the natural labors out of my food, drinks and vitamins. Can't thank you enough. You have made me much healthier and going to the market doesn't seem overwhelming snymore. It's pretty cut and dry what I can and can't eat. Changing our rice this week to wild rice. I'm sure this will just further help my blood sugar.
Bought the Lily's Dark chocolate chips and our store brand organic natural peanut butter (only peanuts and sea salt) to make my own peanut butter cups. Thanks for the great videos!!
I watch all your videos and when we go in every grocery store I’m always telling my husband this is what Bobby recommends. Well after a couple weeks of that he was starting to grow concerned over who this guy named Bobby was. 🤣 I showed him a couple of your videos and now he’s hooked!
Bobby! I love you guys! Thank you! I am going to get the NuttZo for my 8 year old. I switched her to the sprouted bread and grassfed milk and she loves it! Thank you so much for all you do!
I’m making my own snack now. Energy balls. I just throw all my ingredients in a food processor and it’s very quick. Soak my dates for 10 min in warm water and drain and place in the processor about a cup and then I use 1/2 cup of unsweetened peanut butter. A scoop of collagen powder a cup of sprouted oatmeal and some dark chocolate chips and some ground flax and blend. If it won’t bind and too dry I add a little splash of almond milk but very small amount. Scrape out into a bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 min so the oatmeal gets soft. I put on rubber gloves and roll into balls and place in a sealable container and place back in the refrigerator overnight. I will eat 3 for breakfast with a coffee at work. Quick and easy breakfast at work. Reminds me of a Larbar. This recipe gets you about 30 energy balls. I also have a container of ground up pecan’s and almonds which I will toss in. Just kinda do what you want with different ingredients.
Best video ever on chocolate, the fact that it is 3 years ago , till now so many brands and innovation would be introduced please upload an update video on cooking chocolate and chocolate chips. And craft chocolate too.
This video was very informative! I love dark chocolate and I use cacao nibs in my plain kefir with frozen wild blueberries everyday..Trader Joes has a dark chocolate called Montezuma's ABSOLUTE BLACK WITH COCOA NIBS.. the ingredients are chocolate liqueur 93% and cocoa nibs 7%..0 sugars! It's so good and goes great with their medjool dates dates!! Thanks for this video!🙂
I don't eat a lot of sweets, but I do occasionally snack on Lili's dark chocolate chips, I used to get the chocolate bar but found the chocolate chips to be cheaper per once. And I enjoy making hot cocoa using cacao powder and maple syrup. And if I'm really in the mood for a treat I make my own chocolate bars with cacao powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup. All that said, I actually don't eat chocolate all that often, as much as I love it, I had to cut way back because I'm super sensitive to caffeine and it was trigger nerve pain flare ups. I went from one serving a day to one serving a week, sometimes one every other week. Chocolate is the only source of caffeine in my diet.
Bobby, you have asked for ideas for other videos...not sure if you have done this yet but how about products without coconut (anything)/butter/potato starch/some nuts(cashew/pistachio/walnut/pecans) for those who have allergic reactions...? I have watched a few of yours & most of the items have at least one of those. But I have bought quite a few things that I can have. So I thank you for all the research you guys have done for us about what’s good for our bodies. 👏
My hubby and I just started following you this month, and have already learned soooo much!!! We were shopping over the weekend and had fun checking for “ITBA=Is This Bobby Approved”. We were also talking about choc yesterday, so the timing of this video is perfect! 🍫🍪 I have lost 52lbs in 5 months with Intermittent Fasting. I am loving all of this education you share, it is helping me oh my weight loss/heathy living journey! Thanks for all you do! 😊
I've been a huge fan of Lily's products over my 14 months on keto but even still I kinda lost it at "you, your boo, your kids...they won't know the difference!"
OMG!!! YOU HAVE BLOWN MY LITTLE MIND!! As a chocaholic, this is a very exciting video!!! Thank you!! NEXT, Could you find us some sugar free condensed milk???
Yes it does!!! But you have to make it yourself. I did it and used it in a recipe for Seed, Chocoate Crunch bars and died and went to heaven. Look it up on TH-cam and do it - but use the simpler recipes. You will not be disappointed. ;-)
I bought a Lindt 90%dark chocolate bar and also a Lilly sugar free one and a new one called Alter eco 90% cacao. Preferred the lilly and Lindt. Although the latter tasted kind of bitter and had 2 grams of sugar in 3 squares. I usually have 1 square a day. Sometimes I like a bitter edge to the chocolate though.
I'm really enjoying nutrition class with you and I just turned 50! I've gone from making fun of people who are picky eaters to being one! Ive discovered that cutting all refined sugar ( except what's naturally occurring in fruit ) has totally turned those inferno hot sweats every 20 minutes into almost none at all. Any truth to this? It works for me curious as to what u recommend. ( Even a tic tac triggers one, I read somewhere that your stomach controls hormones) I also quite eating the list of food triggers for eczema which I had severe cases of on my hands, and SUCCESS. I wish that I never medicated and listen to what I already knew : 6 hours after I ate all of those Foods I'd wake up with itchy swollen bubbled up hand and the doctor refused to agree with me it was something that I was eating. She a top Dr gave me a cream and sent me on my way. No dairy, tomatoes, soy, tree nuts, and gluten, and my skin is the best all over my body that its ever been. I'm in great shape like I'm 30! Just struggling with what to eat. You help a lot. Any comments?
My sister has a recipe that I follow when I want a nut butter cup. I melt chocolate. Put it in a cupcake cup. Then I mix my favorite nut butter with maple syrup or coconut sugar. I put that on top of the solid chocolate in the cupcake cup centered, so when I put more chocolate on top of it, it will go over the sides of the nut butter mix. Each time put it in the to harden. Just have enough mix for the nut butter and to melt your chocolate for the bottom and top layer. They are so good! 😋
Thank you so much for this video! It's slowly getting easier to find chocolate without cane sugar. I'm also allergic to dairy so this is even more challenging!
Fantastic video of snacks! My Kids love eating candies, chips all kind of garbage food. this videos have been help me so much! thank you very much! the universe bless your family
I make homemade hot chocolate with Navitas cacao powder (they screen for lead and cadmium). I use generous amount in a cup, add boiling water (glass bottled Mountain Valley spring water) and stir to dissolve chocolate. Add 1/2 and 1/2 to make it creamy. Also use unsweetened almond milk and sometimes a sprinkle of ginger 🥰. If you don’t use dairy, try a different milk. When I stopped using sugar, cravings for sugary things disappeared. That made it easy to have less sugary, more chocolaty drink that we love. Glass bottled water is costly. My doctor recommended it. Can get 5 gallon glass bottles. No plastic taste. Save on doctor bills with healthy choices as best I can 🌺 No-plastic spring water improves taste of coffee, smoothies… as well.
SAM’S CLUB? I’ve been waiting …semi patiently, quasi-patiently....😬😜 Some of us tragically don’t have access to Trader Joe’s,Costco … even Whole Paycheck, er, I mean Whole Foods! All I have access to is Aldi’s, Sam’s Club, and Walmart. Like you, I’m not thrilled with Sam’s, especially compared to Costco, but it’s all we have in Springfield Missouri. Believe me we have tried to get a Trader Joe’s, etc. So, even though you don’t like SAM’S…pretty please? Keep up the amazing work!👏👏👏🤟🥰💜💜
Who else screamed “CHALK-LATES” like the guy from spongebob when you seen this video! I just left target trying to figure out the chocolate thing with this new eating lifestyle! Thank you for your service!
My problem with some of these chocolate selections is the use of erythritol and stevia. I cannot stand the aftertaste. I know cane sugar is frowned upon, but for baking it's what I use.
In Samoa, we pound the cacao beans until its a pulp and add hot water to it. Its koko samoa! really bitter, but so good. a lot of people add milk and sugar to it.
Can you do a video around protein powders, specifically for meal replacement? There are so many choices! Thanks! Love your videos - they are extremely informative!
Fran Barbuto Fran, please don’t do it! A powder is not a meal. They were designed mainly for people who are chronically ill or dying and cannot consume food. Please eat real food without substitutes like powders, or it could adversely affect your health. Plus, these powders have a lot of protein, which, with a regular diet, could put excess strain on your kidneys (as I learned the hard way) :-(( Many of these powders are contaminated with heavy metals, and those can go directly in the brain, ultimately affecting mental and physical health. You can research this and Newsweek even had an article in it. So, please be aware of the potential health dangers with powders. Take care.
So, I am a chocolate freak. I eat it just about every day. Small amount. Thanks for showing me the best ones to get now I can it it aithout feeling bad
I hope you come out with a video for healthy options for the sweet tooth (like desserts) what desserts do you put together for your family? You may have one out already, I need to look through all your videos in case you do. I am a brand Ambassador for various companies & I tell customers about your app all the time! Just so you know I love what you come out with & it’s my way of supporting you. Customers get so happy when I tell them about your app! 💖🙌 Best to you & your family! 💕
You mean the kind with erythritol? That's the most common sweetener for "sugar free" desserts. Sorry, but I don't think giving yourself diarrhea is the "next level". No thanks.
@@robinlillian9471 it doesn't give.modt people diarrhea..it doesn't me bit zylitol is horrible in my bodu..diarrhea..and erythritol doesn't effect ur blood pressure..
This was so helpful. By the way I am hoping you will try to say the name of the product that you recommend as I have very low vision and without the name it’s just useless to try and figure out what to get. I know it’s a lot to ask but would appreciate it if you remember. Thanks so much for all of you and your contribution to everyone’s health.
Yvonne Charneskey I ask the same question and he replied, so look at my post. I agree when you don’t know what brand he is talking about (bad or good) it’s useless information. I notice a lot of beauty TH-camrs do the same thing. Always having to rewatch videos and hopefully catch a screenshot of the brand they are referring to.
I love these videos but as I live in Scotland I can’t get access to a lot of the brands ! I do like the ingredient tips though ! Bobby - come and do a Keto grocery haul in the UK! We are getting into the lifestyle here and Keto lifestyle is growing... shame we don’t have as many cool brands here and too expensive to buy online.
The lily's chocolate has soy lecithin. I don't want that in our body. Thank you for your videos!!!! I love all the info you give out. Knowledge is power. 😍
You didn’t mention the two ingredients that may be the most important and aren’t on any labels-cadmium and lead. For cocoa powder, Good and Gather unsweetened cocoa powder, which you can get at Target, scores the lowest levels, and then you can choose your sweetener.
Help 😁 I use powdered stevia in my tea. I’m looking to find out which liquid stevia you would recommend because I use a LOT 😳 want something without the maltodextrin
Jackie McAbee Whichever you prefer. Amazon has it in bulk, but you can get the individual bottles at HEB, Albertsons, and I believe Kroger has them as well. I haven’t checked at Whole Foods or any other store yet.
Bobby, love your videos but I take issue with your recommendation of products containing erythritol. I tried the Lilly's chocolate chips and just a few made me very sick to my stomach. Can you recommend a similar product that doesn't contain this ingredient?
Hey, Art and Bobby love the videos and the knowledge you guys share I have learned so much:) I don't want to get off topic but what about dog and cat foods? what are the best healthiest products on the market?
Correction: Please DO NOT RECOMMEND chocolate chips or any chocolate candy with soy lecithin. Lilly's has Soy Lecithin which is terrible for your gut health. And what the hel* is non GMO erythritol? Is erythritol a whole food ingredient found in kitchens across America? No! It's a processed chemical additive. If you're going to have sweetened anything you may as well stick with cane sugar rather than sugar chemicals created in a lab including Stevia. The BEST option is to make your own chocolate chips out of 70% cocoa bars and sweeten it with either maple syrup or syrup that you make from mangos on your stove top.
The consumer reports came out with the most toxic chocolates for heavy metals like lead and cadmium, Hershey's high-end Brand chocolate Lily's chocolate was the highest of all tested. No more Lily's chocolate Hersheys high end brand of chocolate for me. Surprisingly ghirardelli's chocolate was rated to be the least toxic. Still carrying the heavy metals though, just the least of all the big brand names, stunning
I've been eating Nutella since 1975 when I discovered it in Germany. It must have changed, because of all the nasty stuff they put in it. I will be looking for the Nutza.
Jack Jones I was thinking about that, too. I mean, that’s kinda crazy prices for organic nut/seed spread. So if you buy some nuts that you like and make a recipe, voila’, far less expensive than $13 (and you can what you like). I suppose you can control the amount much better for your personal use by adjusting the recipe. My Sprouts used to have a grinder folks could access to make their own peanut butter, but it became a big mess because people did not know how to stop it when their containers were full!
I get the Trader Joe’s Fair Trade Organic 72% cacao Belgian dark bar. I love the taste and consistency. Bobby would not approve it, as it contains cane sugar. That doesn’t bother me. I’m leery of all these new sweeteners. I’d rather have a bit of real organic can sugar. I love watching Bobby’s videos, but truly (and unfortunately), nutrition is a pseudo-science. That’s why there are so many conflicting points of view. My attitude for the past 3 decades has been to try my best to eat a mostly plant-based diet, with as few processed foods as possible. It’s very frustrating and disheartening, as we don’t really know much about where our food comes from. We are misled and lied to all the time.
@@randigerber1926 thanks for this comment. I totally get avoiding copious amounts of cane sugar but I have such a hard time believing that a truly small amount of organic cane sugar is really worse than things like stevia, etc...maybe it's because it takes even less of those sweetners? 🤷♀️
Hi Bobby, love your videos. Can you please make video in Bj's store ? I think you can get there as a visitor if you don't have membership. You have several stores in Chicago. I live in Brooklyn NY. Thank you very much for changing our lives.
Modern Stevia extract is processed with hexane too! Procter & Gamble loves you for your support!
I find when I eat healthy, I don't get hungry fast as quickly, but eating healthy is so expensive.

My groceries have doubled and it's just me eating. We need a garden
I know for me personally being a type 1 diabetic for the last 20 years, paying the money now for actual food is going to save a lot more money than I would have payed before too long from the health conditions I was about to start having.

Quality over Quantity.

Class is in with these two gentleman 👨🏫👨🌾 Thank you so much for all your hard work. You make being keto a lot easier
OMG!!! YOU HAVE BLOWN MY LITTLE MIND!! As a chocaholic, this is a very exciting video!!! Thank you!! NEXT, Could you find us some sugar free condensed milk???
does not exist!
Yes it does!!!
But you have to make it yourself.
I did it and used it in a recipe for Seed, Chocoate Crunch bars and died and went to heaven.
Look it up on TH-cam and do it - but use the simpler recipes.
You will not be disappointed.
;-)
All condensed milk does not have sugar in it ,the condensed milk with sugar is usually in a smaller can.
I bought a Lindt 90%dark chocolate bar and also a Lilly sugar free one and a new one called Alter eco 90% cacao. Preferred the lilly and Lindt. Although the latter tasted kind of bitter and had 2 grams of sugar in 3 squares. I usually have 1 square a day. Sometimes I like a bitter edge to the chocolate though.
Hello Connie
I'm really enjoying nutrition class with you and I just turned 50! I've gone from making fun of people who are picky eaters to being one! Ive discovered that cutting all refined sugar ( except what's naturally occurring in fruit ) has totally turned those inferno hot sweats every 20 minutes into almost none at all. Any truth to this? It works for me curious as to what u recommend. ( Even a tic tac triggers one, I read somewhere that your stomach controls hormones) I also quite eating the list of food triggers for eczema which I had severe cases of on my hands, and SUCCESS. I wish that I never medicated and listen to what I already knew : 6 hours after I ate all of those Foods I'd wake up with itchy swollen bubbled up hand and the doctor refused to agree with me it was something that I was eating. She a top Dr gave me a cream and sent me on my way. No dairy, tomatoes, soy, tree nuts, and gluten, and my skin is the best all over my body that its ever been. I'm in great shape like I'm 30! Just struggling with what to eat. You help a lot. Any comments?
wow, sounds like a severe reaction to fake and refined sugar..you know ur body best...stay away!! looks like you are a new persoN!
I ate a pop tart today and was in the worst pain. Refined sugar just blows up inflammation in my joints and old injuries.
@Mel Hirtle
Wow, indeed!
Fantastic!!!
Love your videos. Could you do more tasting videos of different brands you recommend?
Mel Hirtle vagus nerve... research. The stomach is the “second brain.”
Maaaan I really wanted u to talk about which dark chocolate brands to buy, and discuss the differences between the dark chocolate percentages
This was a sweet video idea. Dark Chocolate is my favorite.
Thank God, I’m excited because my healthy 8 year daughter and myself are watching the things we are putting in our bodies.
Yay! Been waiting for a chocolate video. Thanks! Best part is when Art say “mmm” about the chocolate. 🤣
I’m officially addicted to everything Bobby! I have your app downloaded and use it all the time! Love love, love!
My store just got nutzo brand and i read the label and said to myself, I think Bobby would approve. ⭐
He does approve it-it is in his Walmart or Costco video-I think. It is soooo good.
@@jillf24 yep, it was nice to see it in this video 💛
My sister has a recipe that I follow when I want a nut butter cup. I melt chocolate. Put it in a cupcake cup. Then I mix my favorite nut butter with maple syrup or coconut sugar. I put that on top of the solid chocolate in the cupcake cup centered, so when I put more chocolate on top of it, it will go over the sides of the nut butter mix. Each time put it in the to harden. Just have enough mix for the nut butter and to melt your chocolate for the bottom and top layer. They are so good! 😋
I make my own 85% dark chocolate with cacao and a little bit of raw local honey and it's delicious!
Kindiah, willing to share method please? If so, would you add the honey when chocolate is slightly cooled? Do you use molds? Thanks
Thank you so much for this video! It's slowly getting easier to find chocolate without cane sugar. I'm also allergic to dairy so this is even more challenging!
Thank you Bobbie you’re the best!! Some of those were in my list already 💕💕 you’re a great teacher 🤗
I have solved the sugar problem in a sweet treat---- roll organic dates into organic dark cocoa--yumm--guilty free
Hello Lucille
Hu kitchen chocolate is my favorite and has super clean ingredients!!
9:14 FYI Rigoni di Asiago-Nocciolata on their Italian website specifies that the hazelnut spread contains cold-pressed sunflower oil.
Thank You Bobby flavcity!!!
Fantastic video of snacks! My Kids love eating candies, chips all kind of garbage food.
this videos have been help me so much!
thank you very much! the universe bless your family
You, your boo, your kids! Classic Bobby! Love it!!🤣😜
What does boo mean? I am seeing it everywhere lately.
I make homemade hot chocolate with Navitas cacao powder (they screen for lead and cadmium). I use generous amount in a cup, add boiling water (glass bottled Mountain Valley spring water) and stir to dissolve chocolate. Add 1/2 and 1/2 to make it creamy. Also use unsweetened almond milk and sometimes a sprinkle of ginger 🥰. If you don’t use dairy, try a different milk. When I stopped using sugar, cravings for sugary things disappeared. That made it easy to have less sugary, more chocolaty drink that we love. Glass bottled water is costly. My doctor recommended it. Can get 5 gallon glass bottles. No plastic taste. Save on doctor bills with healthy choices as best I can 🌺 No-plastic spring water improves taste of coffee, smoothies… as well.
SAM’S CLUB? I’ve been waiting …semi patiently, quasi-patiently....😬😜
Some of us tragically don’t have access to Trader Joe’s,Costco … even Whole Paycheck, er, I mean Whole Foods!
All I have access to is Aldi’s, Sam’s Club, and Walmart. Like you, I’m not thrilled with Sam’s, especially compared to Costco, but it’s all we have in Springfield Missouri. Believe me we have tried to get a Trader Joe’s, etc.
So, even though you don’t like SAM’S…pretty please?
Keep up the amazing work!👏👏👏🤟🥰💜💜
Yes that is all we have here in Southern Illinois is Sam's Club, Walmart, Kroger and Aldi.
2/11..the sam's club video is dropping..i just hope we can find some good stuff!?
@@BobbyParrish awesome!!!
No Costco? Damn
Sam’s club is difficult. Not many good items there.
Thank you for the info.
Who else screamed “CHALK-LATES” like the guy from spongebob when you seen this video! I just left target trying to figure out the chocolate thing with this new eating lifestyle! Thank you for your service!
My problem with some of these chocolate selections is the use of erythritol and stevia. I cannot stand the aftertaste. I know cane sugar is frowned upon, but for baking it's what I use.
Cheri Powers I know Stevia the taste 😝
So glad ifound this channel
He is not a food scientist. Do you own due diligence.
In Samoa, we pound the cacao beans until its a pulp and add hot water to it. Its koko samoa! really bitter, but so good. a lot of people add milk and sugar to it.
Since being"woke", going to the market is a chore! Between checking labels for canola oil, natural flavors and added sugars. I'm just like😳🥴
Same!!! I get upset even picking certain items up
Veggies, some fruit, fermented products, sprouts, clean animal products, etc...👏🏽😇🦷
Same but you get used to it and eventually you just have to check new brands because you learn what to go for.
I'm hella conservative and I've been doing this for a while in the UK; avoiding added sugar and awful chemicals shouldn't be political
Eating healthy does not mean you are "woke". I know many people who are not woke but eat very healthy .
Can you do a video around protein powders, specifically for meal replacement? There are so many choices! Thanks! Love your videos - they are extremely informative!
Fran Barbuto Fran, please don’t do it! A powder is not a meal. They were designed mainly for people who are chronically ill or dying and cannot consume food. Please eat real food without substitutes like powders, or it could adversely affect your health. Plus, these powders have a lot of protein, which, with a regular diet, could put excess strain on your kidneys (as I learned the hard way) :-(( Many of these powders are contaminated with heavy metals, and those can go directly in the brain, ultimately affecting mental and physical health. You can research this and Newsweek even had an article in it. So, please be aware of the potential health dangers with powders. Take care.
I wish you would make more walmart videos.
Not everyone has a whole foods near them.
Too many Waldos
Btw, Walmart food market by my home has Lilly's chocolate chips for 4.99. Forget whole (overpriced) foods!
Walmart has some of the brands he mentioned.
More walmart
Whole Pay Check!
The brand Hu is excellent. No palm oil, no cane or refined sugar, and Paleo. Can find at Whole Foods and online.
And Thrive
Tracy Quebral ahhhhh I wasn't aware Thrive carries it as well!
So, I am a chocolate freak. I eat it just about every day. Small amount. Thanks for showing me the best ones to get now I can it it aithout feeling bad
I hope you come out with a video for healthy options for the sweet tooth (like desserts) what desserts do you put together for your family? You may have one out already, I need to look through all your videos in case you do. I am a brand Ambassador for various companies & I tell customers about your app all the time! Just so you know I love what you come out with & it’s my way of supporting you. Customers get so happy when I tell them about your app! 💖🙌
Best to you & your family! 💕
Eat a piece of sugar free dark chocolate, every time Bobby says “next level” ~🍫😂🤪
I'm game! 8-D
You mean the kind with erythritol? That's the most common sweetener for "sugar free" desserts. Sorry, but I don't think giving yourself diarrhea is the "next level". No thanks.
Robin Lillian mines it stuff sweetened with Splenda or Aspartame 💩💩
We at least buy 100% chocolate..my husband eats a square every day.
.
@@robinlillian9471 it doesn't give.modt people diarrhea..it doesn't me bit zylitol is horrible in my bodu..diarrhea..and erythritol doesn't effect ur blood pressure..
After I tried Evolved keto cups, I instantly hooked.
Excellent quality with very low carb
This was so helpful. By the way I am hoping you will try to say the name of the product that you recommend as I have very low vision and without the name it’s just useless to try and figure out what to get. I know it’s a lot to ask but would appreciate it if you remember. Thanks so much for all of you and your contribution to everyone’s health.
Yvonne Charneskey I ask the same question and he replied, so look at my post. I agree when you don’t know what brand he is talking about (bad or good) it’s useless information. I notice a lot of beauty TH-camrs do the same thing. Always having to rewatch videos and hopefully catch a screenshot of the brand they are referring to.
Bobby!!! Please, please tell me what ice cream (or frozen dessert) I can eat! Thank you!!!
Hello Marina
"you're the man Bobby Thanks"!!
You don’t know what a huge help you are Bobby!!!
I love these videos but as I live in Scotland I can’t get access to a lot of the brands ! I do like the ingredient tips though ! Bobby - come and do a Keto grocery haul in the UK! We are getting into the lifestyle here and Keto lifestyle is growing... shame we don’t have as many cool brands here and too expensive to buy online.
Thanks!
The lily's chocolate has soy lecithin. I don't want that in our body. Thank you for your videos!!!! I love all the info you give out. Knowledge is power. 😍
I'm always so confused about soy/sunflower lecithin. I've read so many conflicting things on it. Same with the cane sugar/stevia/etc. debate
Why does lecithin have to be bad,I heard it lowers your cholesterol levels.
You didn’t mention the two ingredients that may be the most important and aren’t on any labels-cadmium and lead. For cocoa powder, Good and Gather unsweetened cocoa powder, which you can get at Target, scores the lowest levels, and then you can choose your sweetener.
Help 😁 I use powdered stevia in my tea. I’m looking to find out which liquid stevia you would recommend because I use a LOT 😳 want something without the maltodextrin
Jackie McAbee oh good question, I would like this as well!
I use the liquid stevia from Whole Earth. It also has agave and monk fruit, but it doesn’t have any natural flavors or maltodextrin.
Jackie McAbee Much stevia comes without maltodextrin. I simply read labels.
Kivist do you buy it online or at the store ? If the store which one ?
Jackie McAbee Whichever you prefer. Amazon has it in bulk, but you can get the individual bottles at HEB, Albertsons, and I believe Kroger has them as well. I haven’t checked at Whole Foods or any other store yet.
Evolved keto chocolate cups are amazing. I'm addicted
Bobby, love your videos but I take issue with your recommendation of products containing erythritol. I tried the Lilly's chocolate chips and just a few made me very sick to my stomach. Can you recommend a similar product that doesn't contain this ingredient?
I heard and saw the list of chocolates that has lead cadmium in it and Lily's is included.
"you and your boo" 😁
Enjoy the informstipn and love hearing great advice to help assist us in good products for our health. Thanks
Hey, Art and Bobby love the videos and the knowledge you guys share I have learned so much:) I don't want to get off topic but what about dog and cat foods? what are the best healthiest products on the market?
Great video, I’m new to your videos and I’m very impressed. Glad I found your channel 😊👍
Hu chocolate is so far one of the best brands of healthy chocolate I’ve had 10/10 recommend
Coconut butter cups are life... I make them at home with the Nativa coconut butter and dark chocolate
Correction: Please DO NOT RECOMMEND chocolate chips or any chocolate candy with soy lecithin. Lilly's has Soy Lecithin which is terrible for your gut health. And what the hel* is non GMO erythritol? Is erythritol a whole food ingredient found in kitchens across America? No! It's a processed chemical additive. If you're going to have sweetened anything you may as well stick with cane sugar rather than sugar chemicals created in a lab including Stevia.
The BEST option is to make your own chocolate chips out of 70% cocoa bars and sweeten it with either maple syrup or syrup that you make from mangos on your stove top.
Yesss
Ah! The Keto truffles link doesn't work, and I can't find them online. And your app is my new favorite, and I'm addicted to your channel! Thank you!
Hello Beth
The consumer reports came out with the most toxic chocolates for heavy metals like lead and cadmium, Hershey's high-end Brand chocolate Lily's chocolate was the highest of all tested. No more Lily's chocolate Hersheys high end brand of chocolate for me. Surprisingly ghirardelli's chocolate was rated to be the least toxic. Still carrying the heavy metals though, just the least of all the big brand names, stunning
I'd like for Bobby to revamp this video, based on this info...on heavy metals.....4 years later.
Hershey increased their prices again so I quit buying
Lakanto chocolate is the best- no sugar, uses monk fruit.
I'm so happy to see Bobby recommend the Navitas cacao nibs because I had them already!! :)
Hello Helen
Best Paleo, GF Bread Video. Love all the information! Mad love back at you.
I've been eating Nutella since 1975 when I discovered it in Germany. It must have changed, because of all the nasty stuff they put in it. I will be looking for the Nutza.
A person can make their own in a mixer, just buy the ingredients and portion out accordingly. Check online videos.
Jack Jones I was thinking about that, too. I mean, that’s kinda crazy prices for organic nut/seed spread. So if you buy some nuts that you like and make a recipe, voila’, far less expensive than $13 (and you can what you like). I suppose you can control the amount much better for your personal use by adjusting the recipe. My Sprouts used to have a grinder folks could access to make their own peanut butter, but it became a big mess because people did not know how to stop it when their containers were full!
Just seeing this 'oldie'. Terrific information.
As soon as I saw the title, SpongeBob's "chocolate!!!" episode immediately came to mind 😂.
Did you say chocolate?
Love these videos. Thank you so much for making them and educating us on all those sneaky ingredients.
8:16 how about Trader Joes's fair trade dark chocolates? are they good too?
I buy Trader Joe's 85% Cacao chocolate. $1.79/ .ea is a great tasting deal.
@@MoSportsUSA thanks I'll give it a try.
I get the Trader Joe’s Fair Trade Organic 72% cacao Belgian dark bar.
I love the taste and consistency.
Bobby would not approve it, as it contains cane sugar.
That doesn’t bother me. I’m leery of all these new sweeteners. I’d rather have a bit of real organic can sugar.
I love watching Bobby’s videos, but truly (and unfortunately), nutrition is a pseudo-science. That’s why there are so many conflicting points of view.
My attitude for the past 3 decades has been to try my best to eat a mostly plant-based diet, with as few processed foods as possible.
It’s very frustrating and disheartening, as we don’t really know much about where our food comes from. We are misled and lied to all the time.
@@randigerber1926 thanks for this comment. I totally get avoiding copious amounts of cane sugar but I have such a hard time believing that a truly small amount of organic cane sugar is really worse than things like stevia, etc...maybe it's because it takes even less of those sweetners? 🤷♀️
Hi Bobby, love your videos.
Can you please make video in Bj's store ? I think you can get there as a visitor if you don't have membership. You have several stores in Chicago. I live in Brooklyn NY.
Thank you very much for changing our lives.
