+Ann Connolly Plain white rice is a grain and is gluten-free, I agree Brown rice is more nutritious, but only VERY slightly. People get hung up on the rice issue when really, if you're a healthy adult, its not that deep.
People in Asia have been eating white rice for centuries.... Carbs sometimes aren't the enemy. Nice video though, I appreciate it.... it's a shame people have to go to youtube to know this stuff though. We should be educated a lot more.
I've been to Japan who has the most fittest AND strongest rice consumers I've ever seen! I think its easy for him to stop eating because he's a vegan, and asian foods always pairs rice with a meat and veggie dish. I say do eat white rice, but cut down the portions.
I don't think he claims carbs to be the enemy. He just prefers the complex carb to the simple carb. And asian food isn't glazed in a simple carb rich sauce.
well not exactly. white rice hasn't been around very long and Asians (especially south and southeast Asians) are at a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. east Asian cultures usually treat rice as a post food filler rather than a base for food
Uncle Shaun depends on the kind of bread. regular white bread is useless. In my family we bake our own rye bread, though you still shouldn't eat a lot of it.
uhavemooface Potatoes are what they are. I grow my own potatoes, I dont know what you mean by "white potatoes" Mine are pretty damn white with no chemicals or anything. I think he means wheat pasta btw. Its always so good for muscle gain. (this wasnt an attack comment, Sorry if it seems that way)
I love the way you make everything so easy to understand, and you also come up with different substitutes for the foods we shouldn't eat. But most of all, I appreciate how good of a motivator you are! Keep up the good work. :)
This is perfect, it's what I tell people ALL THE TIME.....and I love that you stress "moderation" because I don't know a single person who eats "perfectly" especially in today's society. Thanks for this video! P.S.. I love the editing and "reactions" LOL They get me every time!
My grandparents are in their late 80s and yet so strong and healthy , because back then there wasn't these food that people eat now days that kills them slowly . God grant us health Love all your videos definitely a happy subscriber
Doing sit-ups while watching this. Everything about this is so true. The trick is reprogramming yourself and learning to appreciate new healthier things. If you need to, transition and your own pace, as long as you make the long-term adjustment. Accept that you will miss and crave what you used to eat. but your body and brain will learn to accept these changes if you hang in there because the body will recognize that it's better for you. Plus, you'd be amazed at how easily you can modify and DIY a lot of the things you miss. Thanks for this.
A couple of corrections 1. White rice doesn't have any flour in it. 2. White rice is actually better than brown rice because it contains less heavy metals. You can actually soak white rice overnight and get rid of almost all of the heavy metals. You cannot do this with brown rice, it holds onto them more in the "brown" husk. 3. Carbs give you energy and white rice is a great carb. There is nothing wrong with eating carbs or white rice, potatoes, etc. White bread, flour have been bleached/highly processed, so those are more understandable to eat less. Just buy a high quality white rice (some are actually made from plastic) so always check what you buy and do research.
The nutrtional benefits of brown rice are measly, too; even though brown rice has a fairly significant amount more vitamins/minerals, because of how we have to digest it, what we actually end up with is barely anything more. If anything, white is better if you suffer with indigestion problems.
I clicked on this video wanting to learn about healthy choices and what not but ended up dying of laughter from the editing and all the clips that you added!!!! You just made my day, THANK YOU :)
+Cecilia Almanza ahahaha thank u! It isn't hard to make healthy choices, it's hard to battle our cravings - especially with peer pressure and other people involved. I amnot saying DONT EAT any of this stuff lol...just be weary of the fact these foods don't provide health benefits - so when ur trying to diet and stay consistent with healthy living, keep it in mind :)
It might sound crazy, but believe me when you manage to make your food, it'll be easier for you to take healthy choices, and your body definitely worth it
I feel like these things sound complicated and difficult to do for a lot of people, but I've noticed that if you can stick with it for a while, you no longer crave these things. A few years ago I cut out sugar (only had natural sugar) and one day I had a soda and it made me feel so sick with an awful headache for the rest of the day! And imagine the people out there who drink soda multiple times a day...I don't think people realize the damage of certain things until they cut it out and reintroduce it to see how it affects them. Anyway, great video, love the clips in between! lol.
+Melissa Lykins well fucking said Melissa! one word: PERSPECTIVE. Carli agrees! Just showed her this. Great way to go about living your life. thanks for the reminder :)
+brettcap It's my first week into being a vegetarian! I just came back to this video and seen your comment. Thank you, I really appreciate you and Carli. You are such genuine and sweet people, thanks for giving me the motivation to switch over!
Yes you just need to eat complex carbs, Brown rice, whole wheat not overly-processed white bread etc because the composition isn't the same and the body doesn't respond the same.
i freaking love your videos, your public speaking skills are incredible and you are amazing at what you do. i seriously love your entire approach to learning and educating your audience. you are super relatable and just down right awesome!!!
White rice does not contain flour? and white rice does have nutrients. -.- protein, magnesium, calcium, folate and niacin (B vitamins). They may not be incredibly high, but definitely contain sustainable sources of vitamins and minerals.
Just learned that the world health organization announced processed meats cause cancer. Having to cut out sausage and bacon is the hardest thing I'll ever do😖
Alcohol is a known carcinogenic too. If you look at WHO FAQs it outlines how much you can have, without it being detrimental, if you are going to have it. How often you have something bad determines its effects.
+juliaxbabee increasing the risk of cancer does not mean it causes cancer ... too many other factors are included in the process and too many different types of cancer. no, you don't have to cut out anything. vast majority of food contain cancerogenous substances, even fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, etc. but the body is capable of dealing with them in most cases ... your own body produces cancer cells because it is necessary for your body. the whole hysterical "omg it causes cancer, don't go anywhere near it" is really ridiculous ... but yeah, lack of education leads to panic and hysteria ...
if eating a sausage patty each day is going to increase my risk of getting cancer by 18% then no im not going to go into hysterics but yes im going to actively try and eat much less of it than I used it. Fruit isn't on the WHO's list of known carcinogens so as I understand what you're saying, obviously bacon is going to be worse than an apple so there isn't anything wrong with trying to cut back on these foods when an international health organization says that eating them increases your risk for getting cancer.
Hi Brett, saw you for the first time and think it's wonderful that young people are doing alot to change and make aware of whats in our food. you are the future in making big changes. Health is so important and it starts with what we put in our mouth. Change is hard for all of us, education in this area is sooo important. Thank you for the knowledge as it means wellness and a long life or we know the outcome. I am also on this journey and it is not easy with all the GMOs and crap they are putting into our food. we do have to read labels.
just eat fruit :) you will find it stills your cravings for sugar. Find your favourite fruit and always have it at home (if you don't store it in your fridge it will taste better but spoil earlier)
***** In most cases (unless you're diabetic) eating fruit is fine. And even with all the sugar, trust me fruit is a WAY BETTER option than resorting to chips, icecream, cakes, cookies, & other processed garbage. The fiber in fruit helps and nature knows best so your body definitely breaks it down differently. Also, the flavonoids, vitamin c, anthocyanin compounds in fruits are good for anti-cancer, and are actually very very good in keeping your brain in TIP TOP shape.
That's because sugar is considered a addictive substance. That's why fast food has a lot of sugar in there burgers and fries. It's so you want more. I been on a diet for two weeks now and learned so much. To the point where I really don't want to eat out fast food or have sugar
just want to say you've influenced me to eat healthy!I'm 40 pounds overweight and just by your videos I haven't had a soda in 5 weeks! I'm going to continue working out and changing my diet and keep you posted! thank you!
As a Asian who grew up in Asia, I'm so fed up with "health gurus" vilifying white rice. White rice is considered the main course in *all* Asian meals. Everything else is just the side dishes.
Thanks for this video, Brett! I already follow all of your tips on a daily basis, but your video is a great reminder of why I'm doing it. Sometimes, following a healthy diet is so difficult because the vast majority of people around me don't. Combine that with incessant ads aways selling you pure crap. It can be so frustrating! However, when it comes down to it, I want to look good and feel good. I want to make food choices that will not only fuel my body, but improve it as well. Anyway, thanks for your healthy (and sane) outlook on food and health.
Oh my god, I want to subscribe just because of the humor. The fact that you clearly have a love for Jim Carry and comedy in general makes you appear very wise, sir. Sub'd.
+finessence808 there are some healthier protein shakes/meal replacements. my nutritionist recommended Garden of Life on vitacost. also, Brenda from leansecrets on youtube (shes great too!) has mentioned Jay Robb protein, also on Vitacost. curious to see what Brett's opinion on this is though!
+finessence808 Find those that use organic stevia and maybe small amounts of fructose. Isagenix protein/meal replacement shakes are amazing and use stevia and fructose to sweeten them. They used to contain more sugar (by way of fructose), but the newer shakes contain far less. Try to find shakes made from undenatured whey protein, as well.
+Nicsa Navarro yes! i figure, no one wants to watch someone talk about boring food and what to avoid, gotta keep the audience entertained any which way u can! :)
+brettcap please talk little more about flour because I like to bake like cookies and cake for friends and I want to make better choices so do I use wheat flour or gluten free Thier soo much stuff out there any info would help with people that like to bake!! Thank you!!!!!!!
1.) Pastries and White Breads 2.) Candy/Gum 3.) Pop 4.) Smoked/Cured Meats 5.) Ice Cream 6.) Most Chips 7.) Most Crackers 8.) Most Cold Cereal 9.) Most Fruit Juice/Drinks 10.) Most Microwavable Popcorn 11.) Fried Stuff 12.) Processed Cheese/Margarine, etc. (Twelve things I keep to a minimum...)
BenjaminGessel Thank you! For writing a nice list ... I know, even if it tastes good, still, I think only retarded people eat for the "taste," and why Americans are all half morbidly obese. I'm going to have to move or get a new roommate, because, he is ...
I was worried when I seen the title of this video thinking I might be doing something wrong, turns out I aint eating any of these foods *sigh of relief* good to know I'm doing something right by your advice Brett!
+staceychellz Got u stacey. U should be pumped tho- I was a chocolate fiend too - but I'm about 10 years out from really changing my diet for the better from when I was younger getting into nutrition, training, fitness etc. - and for the last 10 years, whenever I was craving something chocolatey I usually go for any type of cacao or dark chocolate source! It works just as good! And since people are becoming more health conscious wit their diets, there is more out there to choose from that really can benefit your health and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time!
+brettcap thanks Bret! I explain my health a lot on my channel. I have sickle cell anemia and usually I am normally well and healthy but lately I've been in a lot of pain and sick. I'm trying to have a natural good diet to get back to my regular healthy self so your video is really helping me. Definitely going to take it more seriously. Hate all the medication. Again loved your video 😊
+staceychellz Can I suggest making Cacao/bliss balls? There are some awesome cacao powders you can combine with coconut oil and dates that'll satisfy that sweet tooth, but are healthy at the same time. I also make 'Cacao date caramel bars'. There are a ton of recipes online and on youtube. I make a big batch and have it for the week.
Hi Brett, I just wanted to say a quick thank you. All my life I have been putting off living a healthier lifestyle, my excuses were 'I'm too busy with work and studies to cook' or 'I'm too tired to workout'.. After watching your videos for a while now I finally gave myself a slap in the face and have completely changed my diet including cutting out all sugar apart from fruit of course ((hardest part for me; coke is my favourite drink)) and going to the gym minimum 5 days a week; I have now lost 8kg (~17.6 pounds) in 2 weeks and have never felt better ; I know it's not a huge amount but it's the small things that count, it's the first step to my new life. I've surprised myself the most because I never thought I could do it. If I didn't find your channel I don't think I would have ever pushed myself to change, so thank you, again. ☺️☺️☺️☺️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 P.S it's a bonus that your funny and have the best girlfriend 😄
Great post buddy! My advanced nutrition class pointed out the same things but your cute little movie clips are a much more memorable way to present them! I look forward to the next video! Love you and Carli tons! Best wishes!
Im Asian and My parents gonna nuclear fission on me when I tell them to stop eating white rice. They'll probably think I have lost my roots. Honestly though, I think the real problem here is processed food and the extreme lack of exercise. The circle is pretty closed, you eat processed food and feel bloated so you dont have the energy to exercise after feeling like shit and all disappointed you go back to your "comfort" food
he aswered someone else with the same question and he said stay away from it because it probably had other ingredients in it, not just stevia extract, he also said if you have to use sweetener use coconut sugar
+Lisa Ray Truvia isn't actually Stevia. It's kind of misleading and upsetting how they've advertised it as such. Coconut sugar/date sugar are awesome, though date sugar isn't as soluble.
it is great that you care about research on foods and body functions, i think we all should do that, otherwise we keep doing what people or doctors say which is not always the right thing. great job editing your videos! :D sorry for my english
Hey Brett! I know you're not a big fan of Starbucks, but sometimes I don't have time in the morning or I'm on a quick break. What do you suggest out of all Starbucks menus, what is the healthiest for quick bite? Or a Snack. I usually get black coffee and stand there like an idiot not knowing what to order cuz to me it lol looks bad. But maybe you have good suggestions. 😩🔫
Lately I had been doing a lot of research on what types of foods not to eat and stuff because I never really paid too much attention before until my mom had a heart attack a few weeks ago. She has diabetes type 2 and after my mom had a heart attack it really came to a point where I need to change the food she's eating (And myself as well) if I want her to be getting any better, which is difficult because I'm just 16 and I can't cook lol. I'm not even allowed in the kitchen... But this certainly helped me for when I go shopping for my mom from now on so thank you for posting this.
+Maria Hernandez ~~Drive girl and or relocate/move! Like all the rest of us that want to eat healthy. We drive over the freeway to our favorite stores' which are"Whole Foods" "Trader Joe's"--"Sprouts" is an awesome store that We love to shop at especially for body care products'.
only halfway through the video, but candy isn't the only “food” easily available. cut out junk food. for the artificial sweeteners, just drink water. don't make excuses... there has to be a fruit stand/vegetable market, or a whole foods.
Hi Brett, wow I'm proud of myself that I already cut most of these foods from my diet!!! It's good to have a strict dad. I can't stand sausages and donuts now. Please share some recipes of your fav baked/broiled foods with us!! Thank You! God Bless you and Carli!!!!! ❤️
Awesome advice! People who are hating on you don't want to give up their unhealthy ways. Also skinny does not mean healthy. I'm skinny because I exercise and eat healthy, meaning low carb. And my husband is skinny because he has a high metabolism. But he was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol which has gone down due to medication and eating more healthy.
OMG I love this! I live in Norway and Norwegians eat a looooot of open-faced sandwiches. Their bread is amazing, full of grains and nuts, but oh my god do they eat so much margarine. One of my friends prefers margarine instead of butter because it's 'heart healthy,' as in 'made from healthy oils.' I try to explain to her that natural saturated fat is so much better than a tub of chemicals but I don't know. I'm not getting through to her. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks so. Great video!
Seriously you a and carlibybel save my life. Since I see your videos I don't feel the need for bad foods and fizzy drinks. I cook at home and go to macdonalds twice a year. And Carli helps me feel beautiful so seriously u guys are the best.
My problem is that although i know these things are bad for me i still eat a few of them because i honestly have no time to make a decent breakfast or lunch without going into starvation mode!
great video!! I totally get that your suggestions are more geared towards a full lifestyle overhaul rather than a short term diet program. are there any suggestions or tips you have for jump starting into that healthier food lifestyle? I'm concerned that is that my body is so accustomed to eating the not so healthy stuff and a sudden change may cause withdrawal. our generation seems to be just as addicted to sugar and flour as we are to other substances. you're awesome. keep up the great work Brett. (love you too Carlie!!!!!)
Mmmmmm interesting....rice, bread, etc, are wonderful carb sources for making gains in the gym! 💪🏼 this video kind of bugged me..🤔😏😏 count your macros, know what your limit is and find balance. You shouldn't have to cut artificial sweeteners or carbs out.
how can you argue for using artificial sweeteners though? anything fake is typically chemical laden isnt it? why not just use cane sugar, honey, and fruit juice concentrates? Rice is far from a wonderful carb source...coming from a person who seeks turnups on a daily basis, white rice always leaves me feeling drained and i can never get a good energy later in the day after eating it, organic brown rice is good, but if you want really healthy carbs, eat organic fruits with whole grain breads.
You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Carli and my husband doesn't listen to me about healthy eating but he did take all of these to heart. Keep up the great vids Brett 👏🏼
+Haylee Whitman Used to be all i ate too Haylee. It's hard because this is what is made readily available to us AT ALL TIMES. It's advertised everywhere you go - billboards, buses, magazines, mail, all over every website, commercials. So i understand more than anyone how hard it really can be. You just have to go against the grain. I know. It isn't easy. But nothing worth the work in this world will ever be easy.
thank you for the motivation!! I appreciate it :) I'm a vegetarian but I'm extremely picky so all I eat is cheese and bread. it's bad ): but thank you the reply! :)
I really liked how you incorporated funny and atractive parts in this video ! Presenting really useful information in an accesible and attractive manner for the mass is not something enybody cand do ! good job and keep up with awesome videos :)
1.processed meat
2.artificial sweetners
3.candy
4.white flour food
5.fried food
Thx
NO FRIED? I NEED SCHNIZEL
Omg so you can’t eat white rice 😞
What the I wanna eat white rice!
Is fried eggs ok lol
No white rice?! Ah that's the only thing I can't eat in moderation. I'm asian. It's an essential part in my life.
+Ann Connolly honestly if u pair it with veggies.. or beans.... etc.. its not bad for u compared to other things..
Nothing wrong with white rice, u should know that being asian.
Asians have been eating it for centuries yet they wer all slim n healthy.
Same I'm Asian as well! I eat rice with every meal
+Ann Connolly Plain white rice is a grain and is gluten-free, I agree Brown rice is more nutritious, but only VERY slightly. People get hung up on the rice issue when really, if you're a healthy adult, its not that deep.

Daavidd4 carbs are actually good for you. It's good for your cells and gives you lots of energy
Rice , pasta, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn , these are all good carbs you should eat bread is also good
Uncle Shaun depends on the kind of bread. regular white bread is useless. In my family we bake our own rye bread, though you still shouldn't eat a lot of it.
Uncle Shaun Hmm....Bread? Nah. Well, you can eat it but what happens is once you eat it, you're still hungry, then you eat more and more
White potatoes aren't good carbs and neither is pasta. Where are you getting your information from anyways?
uhavemooface Potatoes are what they are. I grow my own potatoes, I dont know what you mean by "white potatoes" Mine are pretty damn white with no chemicals or anything.
I think he means wheat pasta btw. Its always so good for muscle gain. (this wasnt an attack comment, Sorry if it seems that way)
+Coffeekupp There are different potatoes other than white potatoes such as purple peruvian, red bliss, adirondack blue, adriondack red.
I love the way you make everything so easy to understand, and you also come up with different substitutes for the foods we shouldn't eat. But most of all, I appreciate how good of a motivator you are! Keep up the good work. :)

PERSPECTIVE.

I love how you break it down really easy without being condescending like some experts are!
I don't understand why pasta, rice, bread, etc are bad for you when your body runs on carbs
Carbs are good, just get whole wheat 😊
Rice is fine he was wrong about the rice part I've ate rice all my life and never a problem
He meant that brown rice was better than white rice. Healthy not processed carbs are fine
Yes you just need to eat complex carbs, Brown rice, whole wheat not overly-processed white bread etc because the composition isn't the same and the body doesn't respond the same.
PerfectSky sounds about right. Plus white bread is bleached

However, when it comes down to it, I want to look good and feel good. I want to make food choices that will not only fuel my body, but improve it as well. Anyway, thanks for your healthy (and sane) outlook on food and health.
it's pronounced kakao* haha!
Megha Singh i thought the same thing. And Im not even english... ahhahaha
Love that you have a platform and your letting us know about dangers in food and teaching us to eat heathy.You should do a video on gmo's
Can you please do a video on chips cause I CANNOT STOP
Oh my god, I want to subscribe just because of the humor. The fact that you clearly have a love for Jim Carry and comedy in general makes you appear very wise, sir. Sub'd.
Great video and I am obsessed with your editing 😂 can tell you work hard on it well done x
The editing is hilarious 😂😂!!
Omg the movie clips were cracking me up! Good job making a more serious topic light hearted and fun to watch :)
As far as artificial sweeteners, what about protein shakes and those pre-and post workout drinks?
+finessence808 there are some healthier protein shakes/meal replacements. my nutritionist recommended Garden of Life on vitacost. also, Brenda from leansecrets on youtube (shes great too!) has mentioned Jay Robb protein, also on Vitacost. curious to see what Brett's opinion on this is though!
Me too! Thank you also!
+finessence808 Find those that use organic stevia and maybe small amounts of fructose. Isagenix protein/meal replacement shakes are amazing and use stevia and fructose to sweeten them. They used to contain more sugar (by way of fructose), but the newer shakes contain far less.
Try to find shakes made from undenatured whey protein, as well.
Fantastic video Brett. Loved the way you edited and added the clips... And as always, great content. Thank you for the tips and info!
i missed your videos! please keep em coming!
This video was so clear and easy to understand. Thanks so much for all your time and effort in these videos, really does help
Not only your vids are great brain insirts but they are funny :) ... And laughing is the best weight someone can get ;) ...
+Nicsa Navarro yes! i figure, no one wants to watch someone talk about boring food and what to avoid, gotta keep the audience entertained any which way u can! :)
brettcap hey Brett do you only reply to girls ?
+brettcap please talk little more about flour because I like to bake like cookies and cake for friends and I want to make better choices so do I use wheat flour or gluten free Thier soo much stuff out there any info would help with people that like to bake!! Thank you!!!!!!!
+Elizabeth Avalos I am not Brett but I would use gluten free. That is just me.
+MJ_23 News brettcap on porntube??

BenjaminGessel Yes, right on.
BenjaminGessel Thank you! For writing a nice list ... I know, even if it tastes good, still, I think only retarded people eat for the "taste," and why Americans are all half morbidly obese. I'm going to have to move or get a new roommate, because, he is ...
I was worried when I seen the title of this video thinking I might be doing something wrong, turns out I aint eating any of these foods *sigh of relief* good to know I'm doing something right by your advice Brett!
Thanks for this dude. Currently trying to change my diet for my health. My weakness is sweets and chocolate it's so hard to cut out 🙈
+staceychellz Got u stacey. U should be pumped tho- I was a chocolate fiend too - but I'm about 10 years out from really changing my diet for the better from when I was younger getting into nutrition, training, fitness etc. - and for the last 10 years, whenever I was craving something chocolatey I usually go for any type of cacao or dark chocolate source! It works just as good! And since people are becoming more health conscious wit their diets, there is more out there to choose from that really can benefit your health and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time!
+brettcap thanks Bret! I explain my health a lot on my channel. I have sickle cell anemia and usually I am normally well and healthy but lately I've been in a lot of pain and sick. I'm trying to have a natural good diet to get back to my regular healthy self so your video is really helping me. Definitely going to take it more seriously. Hate all the medication. Again loved your video 😊
+staceychellz Can I suggest making Cacao/bliss balls? There are some awesome cacao powders you can combine with coconut oil and dates that'll satisfy that sweet tooth, but are healthy at the same time. I also make 'Cacao date caramel bars'. There are a ton of recipes online and on youtube. I make a big batch and have it for the week.
Hi Brett, I just wanted to say a quick thank you. All my life I have been putting off living a healthier lifestyle, my excuses were 'I'm too busy with work and studies to cook' or 'I'm too tired to workout'.. After watching your videos for a while now I finally gave myself a slap in the face and have completely changed my diet including cutting out all sugar apart from fruit of course ((hardest part for me; coke is my favourite drink)) and going to the gym minimum 5 days a week; I have now lost 8kg (~17.6 pounds) in 2 weeks and have never felt better ; I know it's not a huge amount but it's the small things that count, it's the first step to my new life.
I've surprised myself the most because I never thought I could do it. If I didn't find your channel I don't think I would have ever pushed myself to change, so thank you, again. ☺️☺️☺️☺️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
P.S it's a bonus that your funny and have the best girlfriend 😄
i came to your video for the info but stayed for the movie clips 😂😂😂😂
Great post buddy! My advanced nutrition class pointed out the same things but your cute little movie clips are a much more memorable way to present them! I look forward to the next video! Love you and Carli tons! Best wishes!
Im Asian and My parents gonna nuclear fission on me when I tell them to stop eating white rice. They'll probably think I have lost my roots. Honestly though, I think the real problem here is processed food and the extreme lack of exercise. The circle is pretty closed, you eat processed food and feel bloated so you dont have the energy to exercise after feeling like shit and all disappointed you go back to your "comfort" food
same for me Im nigerian and africans eat rice on the daily
Van Vu rice is fine but the processed food is what makes you bloated and having no energy
I love how you went into depth as to why we shouldn't eat these five foods. 💪🏼
What about Truvia? (Stevia)
he aswered someone else with the same question and he said stay away from it because it probably had other ingredients in it, not just stevia extract, he also said if you have to use sweetener use coconut sugar
+95klopez Thanks!! I have not heard of coconut sugar.....I'll have to look for that. Appreciate the reply!
+Lisa Ray Truvia isn't actually Stevia. It's kind of misleading and upsetting how they've advertised it as such. Coconut sugar/date sugar are awesome, though date sugar isn't as soluble.
+Jesse Bustos stevia taxes the adrenals... Not healthy at all
+Lisa Ray coconut sugar is still processed sugar, so it's not healthy either. Just like cane sugar isn't healthy, it's just another marketing scam
Your videos are so amazing!!! You are one of my favorite TH-camrs!! You have helped me so much!!!
5:23 i died 😂😂😂 everytime i watch your videos i listen to you for like a week and then i go back to eating unhealthy 😒
Love the way you present your facts and knowledge, very entertaining and worth watching, good job!!
Im spanish so its hardfor me not to eat rice since my mom always makes it or orders it
I just love how you explain things! Thanks for all that you do!
You gotta make daily vlogs bro!
Love, love, love this video. Funny, direct, and informative! Thank you!
Katy's (LusterLux) snapchat sent me there
Lol me too.
Lmao me three
Same!
me too 😂😂👌
me too :D
it is great that you care about research on foods and body functions, i think we all should do that, otherwise we keep doing what people or doctors say which is not always the right thing. great job editing your videos! :D sorry for my english
Hey Brett! I know you're not a big fan of Starbucks, but sometimes I don't have time in the morning or I'm on a quick break. What do you suggest out of all Starbucks menus, what is the healthiest for quick bite? Or a Snack. I usually get black coffee and stand there like an idiot not knowing what to order cuz to me it lol looks bad. But maybe you have good suggestions. 😩🔫
I used to get the thing that has apples, eggs, cheese, or the parfait :-)
+Suzanne Taylor Oh I don't eat eggs nor cheese. Today, I grabbed almonds & black coffee. 🙃😶✌🏻️
omg i love their toasted graham latte n pumpkin bread 😋
+Bibi Blue I would recommend to get up 30 min earlier and mix your own yoghurt (normal/soya) with fruits, oats & nuts ;)
+viscid09 Haha I made my own breakfast.. Who needs Starbucks, right? ;) :p
Lately I had been doing a lot of research on what types of foods not to eat and stuff because I never really paid too much attention before until my mom had a heart attack a few weeks ago. She has diabetes type 2 and after my mom had a heart attack it really came to a point where I need to change the food she's eating (And myself as well) if I want her to be getting any better, which is difficult because I'm just 16 and I can't cook lol. I'm not even allowed in the kitchen... But this certainly helped me for when I go shopping for my mom from now on so thank you for posting this.
Cacao is actually pronounced Ka-kao, not ka-sao :D
+Sofia Martany really!? Wth i even looked up the pronunciation too lol. i will keep it in mind thank u !!
+brettcap No problem!! You teach us something and we do the same :D
Sofia Martany 😂
thats one of many shit he said
By far one of my favorite videos you've ever done. So funny!!
you just named like the only foods easily available???...we don't live in farms or by fancy stores like where are we supposed to find natural food :(
+Maria Hernandez ~~Drive girl and or relocate/move! Like all the rest of us that want to eat healthy. We drive over the freeway to our favorite stores' which are"Whole Foods" "Trader Joe's"--"Sprouts" is an awesome store that We love to shop at especially for body care products'.
Rice, potatoes, pasta, beans, frozen veggies those are normally pretty much available everywhere and super inexpensive
only halfway through the video, but candy isn't the only “food” easily available. cut out junk food. for the artificial sweeteners, just drink water. don't make excuses...
there has to be a fruit stand/vegetable market, or a whole foods.
near you.*
+Maria Hernandez bananas, brown rice, dates, apples, green vegetables, beans and whole wheat pasta are some of the cheapest foods on the planet!
Always such good info! Also, love the video clip inserts! So funny!
Is tuna a processed type of meat/fish???
+Bella Mason canned tuna? yes. sushi tuna? yes. tuna steaks? hit or miss depending on farming.
Alright thanks guess I have to cut down on that canned tuna :(
+Bella Mason I never even thought about that. Thank you for asking!
+Bella Mason Ahh, one of my favourite foods lol.
+brettcap wow I never knew that! Need to stop canned tuna
This is so inspirational, it is such an eye opener. I am thankful there are people who are aware of this major problem. Thank you for this video!!!!
+isabel candelario Glad i got to share with you !!! Thanks for watching :)
Ive got such a sweet tooth! What do i do?
Me too ugh :(
I was hoping candy didn't come up because i was craving one before this video! I could have such a clean diet if it wasn't for candy
I've always heard that fruit is like natures candy :)
A healthier alternative if you want something sweet
Try frozen dates with peanut or almond butter!
eat an apple
Thanks for the great information about food. I often do not know what to eat or not,it’s good to have more insight into this.
I think Iam watching to many different people telling me what to eat.
Hi Brett, wow I'm proud of myself that I already cut most of these foods from my diet!!! It's good to have a strict dad. I can't stand sausages and donuts now. Please share some recipes of your fav baked/broiled foods with us!! Thank You! God Bless you and Carli!!!!! ❤️
Bret you're killing me😔 I'm eating all the bad foods. But I'm still slim though 😌
Awesome advice! People who are hating on you don't want to give up their unhealthy ways. Also skinny does not mean healthy. I'm skinny because I exercise and eat healthy, meaning low carb. And my husband is skinny because he has a high metabolism. But he was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol which has gone down due to medication and eating more healthy.
cocoa= cassow????????????????????????
He was trying to say cacao which is different than cocoa
+ribbons1389 oh haha
OMG I love this! I live in Norway and Norwegians eat a looooot of open-faced sandwiches. Their bread is amazing, full of grains and nuts, but oh my god do they eat so much margarine. One of my friends prefers margarine instead of butter because it's 'heart healthy,' as in 'made from healthy oils.' I try to explain to her that natural saturated fat is so much better than a tub of chemicals but I don't know. I'm not getting through to her. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks so. Great video!
since when is white rice made of flour... by the way cacao is pronounced kakao
You should totally do a video on how to eat healthy and organically on a budget! I'd love to have some tips and Im sure others would as well!
white rice doesn't have white flour in it lol
this was ridiculously helpful! thankyou! love the little clips haha so descriptive and detailed :)
Omg, might as well just eat air!
Seriously you a and carlibybel save my life. Since I see your videos I don't feel the need for bad foods and fizzy drinks. I cook at home and go to macdonalds twice a year. And Carli helps me feel beautiful so seriously u guys are the best.
rice does not have white flour in it.
Thank you for making this video fun and educational. Couldn't resist, had to subscribe.
My problem is that although i know these things are bad for me i still eat a few of them because i honestly have no time to make a decent breakfast or lunch without going into starvation mode!
I love your videos! They really help me with my diet! Keep on going!
vegan here! and I never cook with oil anymore
Extra virgin olive oil is extremely healthy
great video!! I totally get that your suggestions are more geared towards a full lifestyle overhaul rather than a short term diet program. are there any suggestions or tips you have for jump starting into that healthier food lifestyle? I'm concerned that is that my body is so accustomed to eating the not so healthy stuff and a sudden change may cause withdrawal. our generation seems to be just as addicted to sugar and flour as we are to other substances. you're awesome. keep up the great work Brett. (love you too Carlie!!!!!)
Mmmmmm interesting....rice, bread, etc, are wonderful carb sources for making gains in the gym! 💪🏼 this video kind of bugged me..🤔😏😏 count your macros, know what your limit is and find balance. You shouldn't have to cut artificial sweeteners or carbs out.
This video is a JOKE!!! This guy should learn a few things before he trys to give advise!!
Depends on insulin/leptin, etc., but physical exercise itself tends to solve a lot of problems that way anyway...
Disko H ummmmmm ha, ok?
how can you argue for using artificial sweeteners though? anything fake is typically chemical laden isnt it? why not just use cane sugar, honey, and fruit juice concentrates? Rice is far from a wonderful carb source...coming from a person who seeks turnups on a daily basis, white rice always leaves me feeling drained and i can never get a good energy later in the day after eating it, organic brown rice is good, but if you want really healthy carbs, eat organic fruits with whole grain breads.
Best video so far Brett! Lots of humor and facts :)
make a video with Carli :)
+hanaa mohammed They've done several together.
monymony68 i meant more videos :)
4:23 "Everything you eat your body uses to make new cells"
So important y'all
So I'm guilty of eating everything that he just mentioned
You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Carli and my husband doesn't listen to me about healthy eating but he did take all of these to heart. Keep up the great vids Brett 👏🏼
but.....this is all I eat
clearly, my issue too!
+Haylee Whitman Used to be all i ate too Haylee. It's hard because this is what is made readily available to us AT ALL TIMES. It's advertised everywhere you go - billboards, buses, magazines, mail, all over every website, commercials. So i understand more than anyone how hard it really can be. You just have to go against the grain.
I know. It isn't easy. But nothing worth the work in this world will ever be easy.
thank you for the motivation!! I appreciate it :) I'm a vegetarian but I'm extremely picky so all I eat is cheese and bread. it's bad ): but thank you the reply! :)
Loved this video, the information and editing was ON POINT! Thanks Brett.
Also thank you for this video :) I can tell you do your research and are aware of the food industry :) I would recommend looking at nutritionfacts.org
thank you for the information :) I love the video clips!! keep using them in your next videos please.
so what is there to eat then in america lmao
+Gillian Tay brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, fruits, vegetables, beans, pitas, hummus
Gillian I know it’s crazy everything is bad for us
More videos please Brett, I really can use this info thanks.
are you planning to go Vegan?
I really liked how you incorporated funny and atractive parts in this video ! Presenting really useful information in an accesible and attractive manner for the mass is not something enybody cand do ! good job and keep up with awesome videos :)
