I don't know exactly why but I find watching bodybuilders buy groceries, cooking food, and eating food to be one of the most fascinating and fun things to watch on TH-cam. In fact that's probably what I watch most. You would think such a thing would be boring but it's not to me.
Manoo42 hope one day there will be, a place like that. Kinda like how “Hollywood” is where all actors move too, maybe if bodybuilding had a place like that, some cool restaurant chains, or healthy juice smoothie type of stores can come out of it.
@@kray97 That’s why I make my own. It’s basically just oats and nuts, tossed in a bit of oil and toasted in a low oven (250F/125C) for an hour. Homemade isn’t that much cheaper than store bought, but I’m also using better ingredients. Notes: - A little oil and sugar go a long way. For a whole sheet pan I might use 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of each. (I like avocado oil and molasses, but anything in that general family should work.) - For best results, stir every 15 minutes during cooking. - If adding dried fruit, add it after cooking. Putting already-dried fruit in the oven results in hard gummy pebbles. - Cooled thoroughly and stored in an airtight container, it’ll last up to two months.
The prep is simple, and it's more or less what I do already. But the motivational speech about consistency and keeping this shit up day after day.. that's what I'm here for. I need to hear that shit, so thank you for doing this
You seem like a very cool and laid back dude. I started bodybuilding about a month ago after about 4 months of power lifting. Best decision I’ve ever made!!
This grocery haul contained the Good, the Bad and the Ugly LOL. Also anyone who says body building is easy has no clue what they are talking about, Fouad is right you have to be so disciplined , there are no days off. I don't train for any type of competitions, I just do it for me and I am nowhere near what Fouad and these guys are at, but even for myself having a full time job, getting to the gym every day and meal prepping/cooking, well does not leave a ton of time for other stuff. Keep these great videos coming man, love em.
16:53 👍 Discipline. Focus. Commitment. Character. Both bodybuilding and working towards our fitness goals provides an opportunity to develop these traits that can help us perform better in our career, business, finances, relationships, etc.
Fouad’s Most Important Tip For all you BB’ers. Leave your Wife, GF, BF, or significant other home on Grocery Trips. Buy the Shit you need & Forget about everyone else in the house! So true.
I know this is old as shit and you wont see it but I have been watching so much of this content recently and coming off a horrible ACL/MCL/PCL injury which I had surgery for and post surgery I just lost my mojo, lost a heap of weight etc etc. Watching your content, Sam's etc has really just been a vibe and started helping me slowly get back into the gym and improving my quality of life, love ya legends.
Awesome video. Really needed that speech on being disciplined. Been at this far too long with no results. But damn a grocery store worker I was so triggered when you tossed that napkin on the shelf lol anyhow can’t wait for the next video! Would love to see a competition prep diet video or at least talk about what you would or wouldn’t use in the next meal prep video
Getting back into it after two years being lazy sack of ... its really easy once you get the routine down but man it's like quitting smoking getting back into the routine. Thanks for the motivation.
I love it man. I find myself fully engulfed in cooking the right stuff for my family and I to stay lean and healthy. Cooking also happens to be a hobby of mine so it goes hand in hand. Nice work!
When you spoke about the mindset and always having that clock ticking away counting down to the next meal, I felt that. Developing that mind set is what sets the pros and amatures apart and I could feel that from the way you spoke about it. Hoping to reach that level of dedication to all aspects of life.
No matter 5 minutes video or 50 - Fouad is always keeping the dynamic of the shoot. It's always very interesting. From first miunte to the last. Always. Thanks for the work You do
Love the content Fouad......easily one of the most up front, no bullshit regular dude channels on TH-cam. The only other channel like yours is Ryan Hunniston. Thanks for all the effort and time you put into making these vids. Respect brother.
Fouad... So I'm 34 in July, and today was my first day with a personal trainer. Holy shit am I sore as fuck. I have a martial arts back ground so I'm not new to exercise. But, I've been out for a few years and have done jack squat. Idk a light kicked on a couple weeks ago, and I came across an offer I couldn't say no to. Hopefully I can see some difference after 8 weeks. I'm going 4 days a week. But I'm the outsider of the group....I'm bulking and not losing. Plus I'm just tired of feeling sluggish all the time. I'm just ready to be more overall healthy. Ain't gonna lie....sometimes choking dinner down gets a bit rough. But I pretty sure this new routine will help that. Ok I'm rambling, found your channel today and just wanted to say you got a new sub.
Cometh the hour .. Cometh the man !! Wether it’s in the gym or the kitchen .. great content AS ALWAYS and your focus and discipline is second to none 🙏🙌🙌 And I can hear Gordon Ramsay now in the gym on his stepper saying ‘I’m no Fouad Abiad but I get shit done’ !! 😂💪
Honestly watching you cook is giving me the confidence to get in the kitchen and at least try. That's a huge deal for me and I appreciate your content like this!
the biggest truths... it's always on his mind, that's the hard part no one tell you about, you always have to think about your next step and be consistent!
If you go to an Asian market, you can get like a huge 15lb bag of sushi rice for cheaper than what you paid for those 4 little bags. Better quality too...
I've been meal prepping for over 2 years. Stick to the basics and you can't go wrong. Every once and awhile I get creative but chicken rice and veggies oatmeal eggs are staples in my fridge. He is showing us the ....air quotes..... secret's of body building. Thanks brother.
Wow, Fouad Abiad just gets bigger and bigger with time! He’s a BEAST. His back looks like a mountain of rock solid muscle when the camera is behind him at the grocery store. His arms and legs look like tree trunks. This diet is definitely working well for him. 💪🏼😎💪🏼
This basement kitchen I must say is pretty fancy. The camera guy and you did a good job this seems seamless. No 2nd takes. You are giving Evan some competition. This hostile swag is raw and legit.. it all matters connecting dots.
I don’t know why, I was expecting a gruff mean dude but this guy seems genuinely nice and he talked through his whole thought process. I really enjoyed this video
U motivate me so much to prep my meals... Everytime I get sick and tired grilling the chicken breasts, cooking rice, pasta I am reminded of ur meal prep videos...
Him Kai and Rich are some of the realest body builders I've seen so far they tell it like it is and they are not extra about everything they get right to the point
I’m not even a body builder. Shit…I rarely even got to the gym. But your lifestyle is very interesting to me and your attitude towards it is so chill. I like your energy 😂 keep rocking 👊🏼
Even though it's basic content the fact that he's real makes it more entertaining to watch
100 !!!!
I don't know exactly why but I find watching bodybuilders buy groceries, cooking food, and eating food to be one of the most fascinating and fun things to watch on TH-cam. In fact that's probably what I watch most. You would think such a thing would be boring but it's not to me.
@@kobzster06 same here, even though i have all great intentions of eating this way, doesn't always work out! 💪💪
The amount of discipline it takes to do what these guys do on a daily basis is mind blowing. My admiration for these guys is through the roof.
Does anyone want to talk/learn about God and Jesus? God and Jesus both love you and can help you with whatever you may be going through!
@@jaidenarias5912 I do! Trying to get closer with god (without dieing) myself. Not sure how exactly
@@mikemorris9902🙏🏼✝️
Yeah, I admire that they talk about food more than the drugs they take 😂
I find it amusing that I would rather watch Fouad buy groceries than actually go out and buy groceries.
Hahaha true
Greg Rybak7 lol
Those are good groceries.
Lmaoo
He's a profeseional grocery shopper.
This chef should try bodybuilding, I think he’d be good at it
Lex Lavi This was only his extras! It’s not even his main grocery trip!
Lex That's a good one
I chuckled
He’s a skinny boi, absolutely no meat on his bones.
😂
always refreshing when these bodybuilders actually have personalities. i need that shirt by the way
They all have personalities they just aren't your friend.
That meal with the rice, chicken, avocado and spinach looks quite healthy even for non-bodybuilders and very simple to prepare!.
There needs to be fast food Restaurant chain that serves food like this, instead of all the junk that is so easily obtainable everywhere.
You can be the change in this world
It’s called chipotle no guacamole no cheese double meat
The ON3 chipotle doesn’t have a drive thru in all their locations plus it’s more expensive
Its sounds like a great idea unfortunately the density of body builders in most areas wouldnt be high enough to stay in business.
Manoo42 hope one day there will be, a place like that. Kinda like how “Hollywood” is where all actors move too, maybe if bodybuilding had a place like that, some cool restaurant chains, or healthy juice smoothie type of stores can come out of it.
“I just need a little granola” takes 4 bags 😂
I would need to find a Whole 30 or Paleo...something with less sugar than most granolas.
I love the stuff, but most of it is junk because of the massive amount of sugar in it.
@@kray97 That’s why I make my own. It’s basically just oats and nuts, tossed in a bit of oil and toasted in a low oven (250F/125C) for an hour. Homemade isn’t that much cheaper than store bought, but I’m also using better ingredients.

It's just something about him that makes me legit listen to everything he says :)
This is why your my favourite fitness person, always so much knowledge and no bullshit and always try’s to help by explaining it the best you can 💪

Yeah you're the man bro
First saw this guy on a muscle and fitness video and I always love his content. Down to earth, fun to watch and motivating as hell

GROCERY STORE ANNOUNCED: "Paging Inventory Clerks...Fouad has left the store...please restock all shelves... overtime will be paid"
lol
I noticed that too.😂😂😂 The stockboy must hate him.
😂
😂
Recently grocery shopping and there was maybe containers of Mio left ... Now I know why 👀😂
When Fouad speaks I listen 😌
This tap of wisdom never dries ✨
Kanishk Bhardawaj 🙏🏽
I've recently stumbled across his podcast too. Such great content on both platforms
He’s a man’s man. Not talking about his personal life or tellin whack ass jokes. He just gets straight to dropping knowledge. Hell yeah!
This grocery haul contained the Good, the Bad and the Ugly LOL. Also anyone who says body building is easy has no clue what they are talking about, Fouad is right you have to be so disciplined , there are no days off.

Brown/Dijon/Spicy mustard is the only way I could keep tuna down. Lifesaver no sugar as well. With good flavor.
16:53 👍 Discipline. Focus. Commitment. Character. Both bodybuilding and working towards our fitness goals provides an opportunity to develop these traits that can help us perform better in our career, business, finances, relationships, etc.
Most important is it creates a dynamic between your mind and brain that if maintained will literally transform your personality.

I know I'm not the only one who enjoys watching this grown ass man buy groceries. You the man, fouad 🤙
"somebody left this sh*t in my cart" LMAO! I imagine you catching him/her from their throat if you caught 'em ... "pick it up!"

You got me hooked on the sushi rice! Always enjoy watching your videos for all the tips and meal prep recipes. Thanks for always keeping in real. 🙌🏼💛
Priscilla Cabrera save me some😏
Your videos are never boring and I always learn something positive. Otherwise I move on quickly. I also find that I stay for the entire clip.
“Sometimes when I don’t wanna go total shitty, I go in between shitty.”
BARZZZZ
majdi mangush lmao #truth
Fouad Abiad is the type of guy that will outdo you with his cooking skills and training sessions and still look out for you. Cool guy
Awesome video. Really needed that speech on being disciplined. Been at this far too long with no results.
But damn a grocery store worker I was so triggered when you tossed that napkin on the shelf lol anyhow can’t wait for the next video! Would love to see a competition prep diet video or at least talk about what you would or wouldn’t use in the next meal prep video
I’m jealous af of Costco. You got chicken that went from packaging to pan with NO PREP work. Definitely the most annoying part
If I saw him at a supermarket I would run and get my groceries items done. He litterly cleaned out everything he went for lol. Emptied those shelves
Getting back into it after two years being lazy sack of ... its really easy once you get the routine down but man it's like quitting smoking getting back into the routine. Thanks for the motivation.
There is something really therapeutic and satisfying about watching Fouad go grocery shopping and cooking.
"5% matters, 10% matters, Ebert aspect matters"
Perfect words man...
Man Fouad is the only body builder i can manage to watch so down to earth and humble. big ups man
Deadpool 🙏🏽
Managers like : why are the shelves empty?
Staff : Abiads just come through!
I buy those squeeze juices for my water as well, makes water taste better especially when consuming a gallon a day
I love it man. I find myself fully engulfed in cooking the right stuff for my family and I to stay lean and healthy. Cooking also happens to be a hobby of mine so it goes hand in hand. Nice work!
2 weeks ago fouad who? Today,My best mentor ❤️😭❤️ fouad the giant slayer...
Fouad would love you to do a video on you showing us the health supplements you use & telling us why you use each one!
maybe down the road.
@@FouadAbiad fingers crossed! Love your work brotha

"Im not gordon ramsey" hahaha classic bro keep em coming
Alan Suess lol
@@FouadAbiad not for nothing but why dont you partner with Costco for product placement it could benefit the both of you
Alan Suess who said I’m not 😉
@@FouadAbiad you should collab with Ramsay lool
No matter 5 minutes video or 50 - Fouad is always keeping the dynamic of the shoot. It's always very interesting. From first miunte to the last. Always. Thanks for the work You do
I love how honest he is
Edit: I just realized it says "Be Real" on his shirt!
Dude love your attitude about being serious about putting in the work!
If you have a Korean supermarket, try korean sticky rice. I think it is 20 lbs for 24 dollars
Man i m starting to love this channel, hes so chill and real, no bullshit. I like the way he talks so calm and straight facts
That’s enough carbs for a years worth of my refeed days. More power to ya big guy!

love how your channel is growing brother. Stay well and healthy. Keep the cooking videos coming as well. deuces!
Man you give so much free advice and help that other people charge for. Thank you sir!! Shoutout from Cincinnati.
Hi Fouad could you drop the background music down a little, as I could only just hear you speak, always good content mate.
This dude showed me how to shop, prep, and be inspired in less than a half an hour. Bless bro 🤙🏻
I like the new editing and montage the lighting is perfect also the sound is clear
Keep it up

Literally 30 seconds later just tossing tube after tube of Tang in his cart
Ivan C yes that’s what buying in bulk means
Gino Gagliardi yes, that is the whole joke. Thank you lol
I gotta say Fouad, your discipline in maintaining your diet is impeccable. Keep up the good work.
Would've love to see the cashier's reaction after scanning $50+ worth of water flavoring

The discipline is hard for sure Fouad explained is perfectly a timer in the back of the mind 😄
Buys the whole shelf, I think that’s enough...

Good tip with the foil over the pan with spray, season that before putting food on it give a little extra on the bottom 👍🏼
Is mio the “juice” that makes you that big? 🤔
yes.
Him Kai and Rich are some of the realest body builders I've seen so far they tell it like it is and they are not extra about everything they get right to the point
I perfer the bens ready rice over those boil bags. Everytime i tried it the rice texture was always rubbery lol
Did you wash it first before cooking it? That usually gets rid of it for me
First time watcher of your channel, love it. Straight up, no bullshit
You think you could fit in the grocery cart or no chance?
😅 that shit would tip over and possibly even crack the ground.
Hahahahaha
Always great tips. I'm finding while working out and eating healthier I don't crave so much for junk.
"someone left a napkin in my cart" *looks disgusted and throws it on the shelf so everyone else can be just as disgusted*
A+ thanks for all your wisdom ❤🎉
Pretty sure the Mio is how you got huge...thats the secret nobody knew about until now. 😂💪
