Well here is my list mostly based off vibes and second hand information: Rye bread is good. So is oat and barley. Wheat is okay. Fullcorn is good, in any type of meal. Fullcorn rye is the most healthy. Avoid those highly processed smooth toast breads and hotdog breads. Usually you can just feel them by their quality, they don't have a hard shell. A baguette is okay but could contain a lot of unhealthy stuff, be careful with them. Me, I prefer mostly rough feeling "rustic" oat bread and rye bread. Karelian pies are also good.
Bread can be super healthy depending on the ingredients you use I think corn would be ideal, it's higher in protein and its protein is also more bioavailable
I love the catchphrase/reminder: "Advocate for your body. You only get the one." Remember this in more than what you eat too - relationships, work. I need to tell myself this reminder more often, but I love the mantra at the end of your videos.
As the channel focuses on health, he probably looks like a well-rounded very fit person that doesn't take steroids and does cardio, not like some huge bulked up powerlifter
This is by far my fave video you have made so far. Matching the facts and best choices with a bit more personal preference and realism makes this much more of a thought provoking video on what I could make work for my own diet. Cheers!
This video was terrible - zero thought. We have no info what makes up a bulk of his daily calories. Ginger and cinnamon would add no significant calories. It's unlikely that salsa couldn't amount to over 100 calories. No fruits. No green veggies. No grains. It's primarily dairy and meat. Very little variety. This is extreme (i.e. not well-balanced). Who is this guy? What is his background? What is his name? He won't even show himself in his videos. Completely anonymous. Yet, he has 232K subscribers from 19 videos. It's sad who people listen to.
Be careful though cuz he doesn't cover the main downsides of some of these foods, like cow milk and cheese. Definitely should do more research about those, I don't need to be the one to tell you how unhealthy they are and how there are way better alternatives...
I eat eggs, bananas, kefir, honey, chicken, blueberries, avocados, potatos, beetroot, carrots and some onion and garlic every day. And these are probably 90-95% of my every day diet
@@wiiiz3maybe because he likes it? I've heard you can make really good really high protein ice cream with it kinda easy. I usually do that with low fat quark which I now realize isn't really a thing in the us
@@kayburcky7146 I cannot find plain skyr at the ONE whole foods (in the entire state) where i live, no quark either, and the Kefir (Siggi's) isnt bad but its hard to get all the way down my gullet without pausing me drinking it between 16 hour intervals.
I’ve incorporated a lot more healthy daily foods thanks to your videos. Some of my favorites are kiwis, eggs, blackberries, carrots, and almonds/walnuts.
Speaking of Ginger mentioned in your video, will we finally get videos about Spices & Herbs? It's one thing that us people living on Asia seems to be in need for information about those flavour enhancers in a digestible form for us simple minded folks.
Kiwi is a food that I try to eat very often. It’s crazy high in vitamin C, has pretty good fiber content, is sweet, and it’s only 42-50 calories per kiwi.
Hey Talon, good day. I came across your content due to a tardy ADHD diagnose, brought by finding out autism in my son. One of the aspects of the treatment is to keep a good nutrition. So I started watching your videos and tried to apply in my daily routine. Man, did that help me!! I live in Brazil, so many of the foods and spices you mention I find easily and also are greatly affordable. Discussing with my psychiatric, I asked him to keep the meds to a minimum, only what could be defined as fundamental. So I don't make use of anything else besides venvanse. And know this. I had lots fat concentrated in a lot of parts, didn't have good sleep, disposition. In about 2 months after signing to your channel, forcing myself to eat better, I ended up finding out that this routine is actually cheaper to mantain, due to the simpleness of the cooking process I use. Also because a lot of those foods are rather easy to grow and find over here. Dude, a great thanks from the bottom of my heart. In about 7 months I watch your channel, I lost the equivalent to 20 pounds. Less sugar, less salt, less saturated fats. Also, my professional performance. You see, i'm a salesman and after 4 months with this discipline, I had the 3 best salaries in these 2 years on my company. I'm a fan and recommend you to everyone. 🙏
Hello, I also have ADHD. And dealing with everything is just so hard, I live alone and I have to do all by myself which is overly exhausting and overwhelming. But the meal plan is something I really wanna fix in my life because I came to a realization healthy diet and sleep (which both I am terrible at) plus good workout is the key of every problem. Recently managed to quit smoking and that gave me a confidence I in fact can fix my sleeping and eating problems because addiction was one other thing I though I would never beat. But since I also have adhd cooking the same foods everyday will be boring and I literally dont have mental capacity to think what to cook everyday. Can you share your meal plan so I can copy?
i love your videos, its really changed the way i eat and which foods i prioritise eating. the fact that you just break everything down into actual nutritional value is awesome. now i began to track my foods to identify what micronutrients im deficient in and add things to my diet to fix them by watching your videos as a guide for optimal diet. now instead of cereal for breakfast i eat a high protein skyr yogurt mixed with strawberries, a banana, chia seeds, walnuts, macadamia nuts and almonds and about 20 ish grams of protein powder.
I'm a little surprised he neglected to mention the LDL/HDL cholesterol in eggs. Eating TOO MANY eggs can actually be harmful cuz you're still consuming SOME bad cholesterol. Eating a ton of them every day is really not a good idea, especially when you consider that while they do provide protein, it's not enough protein if you're really looking to pack on skeletal muscle in conjunction with regular muscle building exercises.
Mine would be: Eggs Milk Pecans Olive oil Banana Dark Chocolate Honey Cocoa Oats Arugula Chicken Pasta Peanut butter Creatine Casein Mass gainer Almost every day: Avocado Granola Greek yoghurt Regular yoghurt Beef Protein bar Protein puding Whey protein Almonds Carrots Tuna Sardines Sunflower oil Toast I'm eating 4000+ calories a day in case you're wondering lol. I'm an extreme hardgainer.
@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381can I ask your weight and your maintenance calories? I'm struggling with mine, I'm 69kg and even when I was eating 3000+ calories I wasn't gaining weight.
Corn Flakes was a surprise to me. I always thought Corn Flakes cereal was mostly limited to the United States and Cananda, with other countries having some form of porridge instead.
I eat eggs, toast, and peanut butter as my post workout breakfast pretty much every day. Hits protein, carbs, and fats in one go and it’s just such a satisfying meal for me. I also LOVE chicken, beef, avocado, pretty much most fruits, a lot of vegetables, beans, ALL cheese (minus brie), and crackers. I love this channel because I feel like I can relate so much to wanting the best for my body, and I love knowing what all the different foods compare up to each other. Great video, Talon!
I think the use of actual ways to incorporate a lot of these foods was an incredibly helpful inclusion. I think sometimes hearing about the best foods to eat without mentioning recipes or incorporation methods limits the effectiveness of the advice. I appreciate this channel very greatly! Thank you!
Pumpkin seeds is a daily for me! I sprinkle it on whatever breakfast I’m having; whether it’s eggs, protein cereal, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt. It’s great cause it goes with sweet AND savory foods!
I eat nuts and dried fruit almost every day for breakfast. I really like almonds in particular. I know they’re really calorie dense but that hasn’t stopped me from losing a lot of weight eating this way since I weigh it out every time.
Idk the science on this man but nut calories don’t even seem real to me. I started eating what should be around 1000 calories of nuts every day like 2 months back and I’ve gotten super lean without taking anything else out of my diet that would contribute to that many calories (I stopped eating grains but I was only consuming about 200 cals a day of oats). This is on top of a pound of ground beef and hella fruit every day. So enjoy your almonds man they probably won’t make you fat. Make sure you get sprouted nuts or soak them in water overnight though to lessen the amount of anti nutrients.
Thanks so much for this list ! Here is mine (considering i am a woman, not in a bulking or cutting diet, simply trying to enjoy my food while eating healthy) : 1. White meat 2. Salmon (not everyday but at least 1/2) 3. Avocado 4. Fruits (apple, banana, raspberries) 5. Skyr 6. Lots of vegetables (eggplant, carrots, zucchini, etc.) 7. Black coffee with no sugar 8. Cinnamon 9. Agave sirup 10. Eggs
This channel is growing into something outstanding! Keep up the great work, and yes the more casual approach is enjoyable. Still learned something new.
Thank you for another great video, Talon. Your videos are some of the best nutrition/health videos on TH-cam. Really appreciate how clear, concise, and non-bombasty you are. Please keep up the great work! Foods I usually eat every day: dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, arugula), oatmeal, nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.), cacao, cinnamon (also), coffee, and also ginger...lots of ginger tea!
plant based protein is half as good as animal protein. In terms of health being vegan is bad for you, but if it's for religious reasons then nevermind, I respect your position
Your diet is so similar to mine it's actually conforting, being Mexican and living in Mexico I have easy access and enjoy the taste of beans, avocados and ingredients for making salsa. All of those have enhanced my weight loss diet to make my food more nutrituous, tastier and filling.
I absolutely loved this video so much. The laid back style is a great breath of fresh air from the more information dense videos. It's also a great indicator of some of the benefits of foods that some people overlook.
Egg and yogurt with oatmeal and mixed nuts with honey everyday. Rice and beans with protein (I have all of them throughout the week: fish, pork, beef and chicken) and salad (usually lettuce, tomato, carrot, broccoli and cabbage, maybe kale). And I drink sparkling water with lime juice almost daily too. Maybe do a series on staple foods, their benefits and maybe how to possibly improve on them. Rice and beans is mine.
🔴 I don't eat animal products... one of the things I _do_ eat though, every single day, is RICE - BEANS - and MOLE (the Mexican sauce). With Mexican seasonings on top, it's amazing! I can eat it every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it, it's that good! I'll usually have oatmeal for breakfast, or non-dairy yogurt with fruit, granola, and chia & flax seeds, then for lunch a collard greens - Lacinato kale - mustard greens salad with tomatoes, mushrooms, olive oil, hemp seeds and a small amount of salad dressing. For drinks I'll have pomegranate juice, green tea, coffee, sparkling water, kombucha, and pinot noir.
Loving this style of video! The food I have every day would be either coffee (these days, I make decaf) for the general mineral content, and I also just like it, black with maybe a little milk or skinny syrups. Oats are another I really like, super versatile. I've been making pizza baked oats lately, the crust is made of oat flour, among other things like nutritional yeast for protein.
Yeah oats are great. Pretty consistently whenever I've been lazy with my diet whether through mental or circumstantial reasons, the oats come in as such a good crutch. Using it as a filler for pizza sounds interesting for sure!
My top 10: 1.) Dark chicken (organic and pasture raised) 2.) Eggs (pasture raised) 3.) Garlic 4.) Broccoli (organic) 5.) Green Beans (organic) 6.) Cashews 7.) Pistachios 8.) Oranges or other Citrus 9.) Berries-strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, also pomegranate (seeds). 10.) Peanuts/Peanut Butter (no sugar)
organic dark chicken? what does “organic” mean in this context? for veggies, it means no artificial fertilisers, do chickens normally get sprinkled NPK on them?
Your videos really changed my way of thinking about food and my body changed alot since I started regulating my diet. Thank you for your effort with this amazing content!
I love this video, it's nice to see that despite your knowledge you have a realistic approach. I enjoy seeing everyone's picks, so heres mine: 1. Oats 2. Walnuts 3. Zucchini 4. Natural yogurt 5. Cottage cheese 6. Lemons in hot water (I prefer it over tea) 7. Sodium cyclamate (cheaper and more tasty for me than erythritol) 8. Some fruit, usually frozen strawberries 9. Pure cocoa powder 10. Cinammon
ive recently incorporated salsa into my daily rotation in lieu of salad dressing. its a game changer. also, for anyone who menstruates, boiling a dew cinnamon sticks for a few minutes is good for cramps, and its delicious. i usually put a bit of almond or oat milk creamer into my cinnamon tea for sweetness but it doesnt need it.
Most days i work i eat a bunch of whole eggs for breakfast plus a banana with no sugar added vanilla greek yogurt for a snack later. At home, i usually do eggwhites for breakfast. I realize i HATE green leafy vegetables. Raw. But ive been getting better at including them by slicing them fine (any lettuce, kale, spinach, etc) and throwing them in a bowl then pouring boiling brothy soup over the top. Also, most of my soups are either based on chicken breast or lean ground beef, and i also usually include lentils and/or barley to make them a bit more hearty without spiking blood sugar like with rice or pasta.
the casual style videos like this are really nice. understanding more about your own personal habits & philosophies puts everything else on the channel into better context 🎉😊
hi!! i’ve been vegan for over three years and here are some of mine lol 1. oats (i love oats) 2. tempeh 3. zucchini 4. kombucha (no added sugar) 5. green tea 6. dates (usually not more than 2) 7. carrots 8. recently i’ve been eating brazil nuts to help my thyroid 9. dark chocolate 10. hummus
I heard oats are even bad for horses. I used to eat oats every day for around 5 years and now I can't even put them in my mouth its like my body became allergic (I can eat muesli bars but not cereal oats).
I've been loving your videos so much!! I feel like they may even be changing my life for the better by making me make more confident food choices. Thank you and I noticed that cheese tier list tease!! I'm so excited for that cheese tier list cause cheese is one of my favorite foods :)
Talon, thank you for these videos. The easy to understand and use information has been instrumental in what has been a renaissance of my health in the last sit months.
thank you so much for sharing this. it is invaluable to see this kind of transparency and to know what you and other people REALLY do eat. i am subscribed, thumbs up and saved every one of your videos. great stuff!
The only food I enjoy eating everyday is greek yogurt. You don't have to cook it, it's not that expensive and it is very nutricious which makes it the best breakfast food imo.
How do you keep it creamy in the fridge? I tried to put it deeper, it worked one time, but otherwise it's always half liquid half solid state or something like that.
You should do a supplements video. I personally use magnesium, omega 3, and collagen. As for everyday foods... well, it varies, but the rice bowl is my main staple. It consists of a protein (salmon, chicken, pork, or beef), vegetables (parsnip, beet, ginger, carrot, peas, kale etc etc etc) dressed in a sauce (varies, but usually a homemade one), all cozied up next to a bed of rice. It's so easy to make and just takes up about 25 minutes.
I've watched all of your content and I've become better informed as a result. 🙂 That being said, I felt better about my diet after this one. 😃 Eating properly just seems like so much work sometimes. I like food and I love to cook and bake but, seriously, if I had my way I'd be photosynthetic.
My breakfast daily is over easy eggs, one or two, and avocado slices. Lunch and dinner alternates between chicken breast, fish or shrimp, lean ground turkey tacos, with veggie or salad and fruits in between. I enjoy my current diet thoroughly. I will be trying to work some ginger and other suggestions here as well! Thanks for the info
For breakfast I have an egg scramble - consisting of 1 egg, 1/2 yellow onion, 1 bell pepper, 1 tomato, couple florets of broccoli, onion and garlic powder, and olive oil (and that's literally it). On a pita wrap with coffee. It's delicious and nutritious!
I really like how in depth you're going with these kind of videos. Could you by any chance do the same kind of video for a vegetarian/vegan diet? I'd just replace the meats with some sort of plant protein but I'm not really sure which one to include.
Great video combining knowledge and personal prefs. My top choices: 1. Beans. Mixed bean soup 2. Eggs. Over-easy or omelets 3. Cabbage. sauerkraut, made with onion, or sauteed 4. Meat/chicken/sardine 5. Greens and zucchini. sauteed or pan-fried 6. Kefir. home-made, easily by leaving milk with starter at room temperature for a few hours 7. Veggies: yam, kabucha, potato
For me the food that i eat every day would definitely be oatmeal, i will literally eat it for breakfast and supper every single day, you probably could compare how i feel about oatmeal to how most asians feel about rice. The reason why i eat (and love) it so much is because i have to keep my diet low in sodium, so i can't really use bread or buns for my carb source and also because i love the taste and texture of oatmeal, and you can make so many combinations with it, the list is basically endless. Oatmeal for life
I have been struggling with pregnancy nausea and this video just reminded me I had a jar of pickled ginger just sitting in my pantry! I am so glad I clicked. Just ate a bit now. Let's see if it helps 😆
For me, not everyday but make a conscious effort to include often: beans (blackbeans, soy in various forms), alliums (purple onions, garlic, chives, etc), citruses (grapefruit, tangerines, oranges, lemons, looking into pomellos), grains (wheat (germ, bran), quinoa), greens (spinach, arugula, kale), berries (blackberries, raspberries, wild blueberries, pomegranite), spices (black pepper, oregano, cumin, turmeric, ginger, ceylon cinnamon), fats (EVOO, advocado), misc (cacao, yogurt, kimchi, saurekraut, psyllium husk, tea, kombucha, MCT oil). Of course overall variety (“eat the rainbow”) is king for your diet, but these foods in particular I have determined to be particularly nutritious for specific nutrients or phytonutrients that they have.
Some of mine are eggs, milk, spinach, and blueberries. In fact, items 2-4 on that list I often blend into a single smoothie and eat with my eggs. Then I bounce back and forth between two out of three red meat, white meat, and seafood.
Rice and beans, eggs, yogurt, blueberry, brazilian nut (im brazilian), soy milk, chicken, dark chocolate, banana, oat, protein bar, carrots, tomato, sometimes integral pasta
I really like Whole Milk, Arugula, Tuna, Onions, Apples and I use olive oil on a lot of foods. I do think that eggs are one of the most amazing foods nutritionally, versatility in cooking, and taste. I like how there are all sorts of different eggs we can eat too.
I come often to this channel to check on nutrition values of foods. Thanks for that! I eat every single day: - 4 eggs with onion and spices (curcumin, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, oregano) - 1 loaf of ancient grain whole bread - black coffees with turmeric and cinnamon and half a teaspoon of sugar - green tea with mint, with either raw honey or stevia, with some almonds or other grains/seeds. Almost every day: - Fish: salmon or tuna. Sometimes replaced with sardines or red meat. - 1 teaspoon of cod liver only on the days I don't eat salmon. - If I get hungry between the daily 2 meals, I eat fruits and veggies found in top 2 tiers in your videos. Half the time: - Leafy green salad (green lettuce and/or kale, onion, green pepper, avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper etc.) - Carb-heavy meals (rice, pasta, etc). - 1 glass of grass-fed whole Milk I'm trying to replace carbs and starch (rice, pasta, bread, sugar in coffee) with ketogenic options, but it's a slow process.
@@JdotCarver Thanks for reading. Oregano is just to replace cilantro or parsley which I'm too lazy to cut. Turmeric is a prevalent spice in my country of birth. It also happens to be one of the healthiest spices around: th-cam.com/video/d4valTqhkrc/w-d-xo.html Also th-cam.com/video/539UQ-6wC3g/w-d-xo.html
I love the ginger they give with sushi, so I totally see myself adding that to meals throughout the day. Thank you on the cinnamon tip I’m insulin resistant and will apply that.
3:19 insulin actually transports sugar out of the bloodstream and into your tissues where it can be used. Insulin sensitivity means that your tissues absorb the glucose even with a small amount of insulin (which is good). Anyway, great video as always!
This video style was so sick!! Definitely a welcome change of pace to the tier lists tho both are great. Keep up the good work, thanks for all your hard work into putting this info out into such an easy to disgust (haha) form :)
Cinnamon also tastes amazing on sautéed butternut squash! I love pickled ginger and put it on my salads, but throwing some fresh ginger in a protein smoothie with some greens and berries is also a great way to get that ginger in.
Butternut squash is such an underrated veggie. I like to cook beef and butter in a pan, then take that beef fat and butter mixture and drizzle it over butternut squash, then hit it with Sal, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and sage in the oven. I could eat my weight in it
I've been in battle with my body for 40 or so years, this channel has given me more respectful guidelines than any other source (i.e Drs looking down on me and chastising me). I'm not hugely overweight but still developed Type 2 Diabetes (likely genetic and choices combo). Do you think the capsule forms of Ginger and Capsaicin would work as I don't like the flavour/heat of these.
10 foods I eat (almost) every day If not (almost) every day, then a lot - Papaya - Kiwi - Walnuts - Hazelnuts - Sunflower seeds - Eggs (Hard boiled) - Mango - Pineapple - Brazil Nuts - Broccoli
Good evening and Happy New Year from the glorious SF Bay Area. I just discovered your videos and have been reviewing them with interest. I have been eating with health and planet consciousness for 50 years but I really like your more scientific break downs. I don't recommend meats 3 times a day or too much emphasis on dairy, however, I do consume them regularly with a reduction of meats to fewer times a week and cheese and yogurt almost every day. AVOCADOS!!! My staple. My biggest change here in January 2024 is to almost eliminate alcohol, at least for a time. If in a month or two I don't miss it, which I already don't on day 9, maybe I'll not go back unless it is for a picnic and wine tasting. You are reminding me about beans, which I always keep on hand, but I'll use them more. Thanks!
Eggs are great in smoothies too Make it rich n creamy, no eggy taste at all! I do egg coffee too, 2 yolks, 2 whole. Use a stickblender to emulsify. Or egg broth, same as coffee but use broth. Delish with salt and butter! Very satiating.
Every morning (after 11:30am) I eat porridge. A teaspoon of sunflower seeds, two teaspoons of oat bran, two teaspoons of ground flax, a teaspoon of spelt flakes, half a teaspoon of psyllium husk, then oatmeal that adds up to the volume of all the above. I also have been including a handful of peanuts before or after the porridge for extra protein.
I eat prunes almost daily. They’re easy to eat quickly in the morning and you don’t need to prepare them (thought sometimes i’ll put em in a pan with some other fruit).
The thing I don’t understand about eggs is the switch ups people have to them every few months/years. “Eggs are amazing for you!” “Eggs are horrible for you!” “No wait they’re actually great for you!” Reminds me of the way fat has been demonized by sugar companies…
Consider using cinnamon in savory foods too, not just sweet. Cinnamon in a squash soup is probably the most easy gateway to using it more in savory dishes, since people in the west are already accustomed to squash and cinnamon as a pairing in sweet stuff. Also not as healthy, but avocado in sweets is also very underrated. Avocado chocolate pudding is probably the easiest gateway for this. Extremely easy to make and the avocado makes it so buttery and creamy.
I eat a serving of pumpkin purée every day!! I make this smoothie with the pumpkin, 1/2 c unsweet almond milk, half a ripe banana, a healthy dashing of cinnamon, and just a smidge of maple syrup if I’m feeling crazy lol. I have it for breakfast along side a couple eggs so I have a good balance of fiber, protein and carbs (and some good micros). it does indeed taste like a pumpkin pie. You can add ice if you want before blending but I just chill it overnight and it’s perfect. I’m thinking about throwing in some grated ginger though, that sounds like an amazing idea!
I'm so glad you pointed out the importance of learning to cook ! I cant count the number of bros that told me they eat dry chicken breast everyday... I always respond that should add cooking youtubers to their habits since a well prepared chicken breast isnt suppose to be dry. On the contrary.
Foods I eat everyday (nearly): eggs, white meat, Greek yoghurt, berries (namely blueberries & raspberries). I eat avocado, red meat, and cruciferous vegetables a few times a week, too. I would love to include more ginger in my diet, but have never been quite sure of what recipes to use it with.
I eat eggs just about every day. I'm on winter break right now so I have plenty of time to cook multiple times a day. Eggs for breakfast, usually no lunch, and fish or chicken with vegetables for dinner.
Blueberries, yogurt, walnuts (sometimes almonds), chia seeds, fish (easy in Korea), kimchi, bell peppers (usually red or yellow), apples... spices: cinnamon, red pepper (cayenne or hot pepper flakes), That's my 10 everyday foods list. The blueberries and yogurt are literally every day seeing as how it's the easiest breakfast and no-time-for-cooking dinner. I add cinnamon to tons of things - even spicy foods sometimes and curry if/when I have it.
I'm in the process of working on my physical and mental health all at once by building an edible garden. I'm super lucky to live in the subtropics, though cursed with clay soil, so I have my work cut out for me, but I'm super mindful of what I'll be planting in terms of nutrition. I won't ever be doing a 'can you live off only what you can grow' because I would miss out on way too many things I don't have space and resources for - like salmon, olive oil, milk and cheese! What has been really fun for me while doing my research is looking at what I can grow and what is good for me too from all the produce I can potentially grow. A lot of what is on your list is possible for me to grow - ginger, avocado, cinnamon, onion, tomato, jalapeños, onion, garlic, citrus and beans and a bunch of other great foods. Fermenting/pickling is my next subject, and it would be great to get a probiotic tier list for fermented foods, or even preserved/budget foods for the bulk shoppers. I tend to cherry-pick my good advice, and its wonderful to be able to cross-reference what I'm learning with what I can provide myself and my family with in a sustainable way... even just with micro-greens and potted edible plants. I love the videos, both casual and formal!
One thing about eggs which is often fiercely debated is their effect on serum cholesterol levels. There have been several randomised control trials that have demonstrated consumption of eggs to increase cholesterol levels even when consumed as infrequently as once per week. While they are indeed very nutritious and I personally occasionally eat them every couple of weeks I think this is one caveat worth mentioning.
About ginger - Yeah, i agree it's a great food against chronic inflammation so at least older people should consume it on a regular basis, but it delaiyng onset muscle soreness tells me it might reduce gains, so yeah use it for the goals you desire! But great video and thank you for telling us in decent detail how we can implement the spices in our diet, i use cinnamon in a lot of things but it never occued to me to use it in yoghurt. I have a yoghurt with bifidus bacteria in it (the beneficial kind ofc lmao) and with some extra protein so i may as well make it maximize the health benefits and taste by adding cinnamon to it. Thing is, ground beef is nice, but outside of pasta and filled bell peppers i don't really use it. Anyway overall it's a great video, and i like your balance between foods with health benefits and that are tasty as well, that's exactly what the world needs!
Man I love watching your videos while eating my lunch or dinner. Idk how but I feel like it makes my meals more healthy watching and manifesting all the vitamins and minerals you keep saying haha.
I eat eggs every day because they're relatively cheap and relatively lean, easy, and can be prepared so many different ways. I also like that they taste good to me as a whole food with nothing at all added, I don't add cheese or ketchup or any of the stuff a lot of people like because I genuinely like the taste alone. I also eat tomatoes almost every day when they're in season because they are so easy to add to sandwiches and salads, breakfast lunch and dinner
I accidentally made this my diet and I kept losing weight without even trying, regular workout routine but I just couldn't stop eating avocados + cheese + eggs + salsa. Im still not sick of Mexican taco/nacho vibed foods and I still eat them to this day with siete grain free chips. It just felt so right and I always felt good after eating it.
Im considering making a "guacamole" from avacado and finely minced versions of everything in your S tier vegetables list. I'll use it for a filling in uncooked collard green wraps.
this is great. my main picks: 4 eggs almost daily with a good amount of butter, sometimes add some chia seeds on top when they are done. soaked oats with butter and maple syrup. whole wheat sourdough bread for easy magnesium cacao with cream for easy magnesium. lots of tasty hard raw cheeses (30g+ protein per 100g), eg gruyere reserve, parmigiano reggiano, sainte maure. canned cod liver once or twice per week (tons of vtamin A and D) different varieties of red meat that are easy to prepare and delicious ofc. canned sardines, mackerel occasionally. local shrimp and fish (shrimp is expensive, but good wild caught fish are really inexpensive relatively speaking)
This is much harder as a truck driver, the only things that have worked so far is carnivore which i cant do anymore because of the long lasting pallet fatigue, which has now brought me to 36hr fasting and calorie counting. As long as i'm under 2200 i should be okay, but i aim for 1600 to 1800 through out the week (assuming i'll always hit a little above each). Lost ~50lbs on carn and about 5 with fasting, aiming for 170 or 160, starting from 245lbs.
I know bread isn't thought of as a health food but, being a food staple in so many places and with so much variety, id like to see a bread tier list
Einkorn is a great bread option especially when fermented like a sour dough. Einkorn flour can be found almost anywhere, you just need to look!
Well here is my list mostly based off vibes and second hand information:
Rye bread is good. So is oat and barley. Wheat is okay. Fullcorn is good, in any type of meal. Fullcorn rye is the most healthy.
Avoid those highly processed smooth toast breads and hotdog breads. Usually you can just feel them by their quality, they don't have a hard shell. A baguette is okay but could contain a lot of unhealthy stuff, be careful with them.
Me, I prefer mostly rough feeling "rustic" oat bread and rye bread. Karelian pies are also good.
I’d put all of them in the F tier
@@KDF54321 booo
Bread can be super healthy depending on the ingredients you use
I think corn would be ideal, it's higher in protein and its protein is also more bioavailable
I love the catchphrase/reminder: "Advocate for your body. You only get the one." Remember this in more than what you eat too - relationships, work. I need to tell myself this reminder more often, but I love the mantra at the end of your videos.
I imagine this dude looks like those memes of the huge body builders typing on their computer.
That would be hilarious
As the channel focuses on health, he probably looks like a well-rounded very fit person that doesn't take steroids and does cardio, not like some huge bulked up powerlifter
@@ajaxplay8you can look huge without steroids
Huge isnt healthy
Ive seen those memes and the dude was def on roids and wouldnt live a day past 40
I love this disorganized, yet grounded and realistic type of views in regards to food. It would be nice for you to occasionally make vids like these
This is by far my fave video you have made so far. Matching the facts and best choices with a bit more personal preference and realism makes this much more of a thought provoking video on what I could make work for my own diet. Cheers!
This video was terrible - zero thought. We have no info what makes up a bulk of his daily calories. Ginger and cinnamon would add no significant calories. It's unlikely that salsa couldn't amount to over 100 calories. No fruits. No green veggies. No grains. It's primarily dairy and meat. Very little variety. This is extreme (i.e. not well-balanced). Who is this guy? What is his background? What is his name? He won't even show himself in his videos. Completely anonymous. Yet, he has 232K subscribers from 19 videos. It's sad who people listen to.
yeah I thought dairy was bad for you@@jakubchrobry3701
Be careful though cuz he doesn't cover the main downsides of some of these foods, like cow milk and cheese. Definitely should do more research about those, I don't need to be the one to tell you how unhealthy they are and how there are way better alternatives...
Yep and eating meat every day is unnecessary and excessive
@@tj-co9go Best option for those trying to gain muscle.
Cooking as a whole is a lifechanging skill.
True!!
I eat eggs, bananas, kefir, honey, chicken, blueberries, avocados, potatos, beetroot, carrots and some onion and garlic every day. And these are probably 90-95% of my every day diet
almost same here but switch kefir to skyr
@@endorfiene7457 one word...WHY?
@@wiiiz3maybe because he likes it? I've heard you can make really good really high protein ice cream with it kinda easy.
I usually do that with low fat quark which I now realize isn't really a thing in the us
@@kayburcky7146 I cannot find plain skyr at the ONE whole foods (in the entire state) where i live, no quark either, and the Kefir (Siggi's) isnt bad but its hard to get all the way down my gullet without pausing me drinking it between 16 hour intervals.
need beef in there
I’ve incorporated a lot more healthy daily foods thanks to your videos. Some of my favorites are kiwis, eggs, blackberries, carrots, and almonds/walnuts.
Speaking of Ginger mentioned in your video, will we finally get videos about Spices & Herbs?
It's one thing that us people living on Asia seems to be in need for information about those flavour enhancers in a digestible form for us simple minded folks.
at 10:50 he reveals that the herbs and spices tier list will be coming soon
this^
True i would love to see that
yes
Kiwi is a food that I try to eat very often. It’s crazy high in vitamin C, has pretty good fiber content, is sweet, and it’s only 42-50 calories per kiwi.
NOTED
Kiwis are also great for sleep
I don't know why Talon said "people probably don't get enough vitamin C". I eat a kiwi every day and it's already 85% of RDA. IN ONE FRUIT.
@@JdotCarver I normally hear vitamin deficiencies when we talk about D or B12 tbh. That said I'm a big skin-on kiwi enjoyer myself too.
Make sure to eat the skin too, it's not that bad and it's where most of the good stuff is.
Hey Talon, good day. I came across your content due to a tardy ADHD diagnose, brought by finding out autism in my son. One of the aspects of the treatment is to keep a good nutrition. So I started watching your videos and tried to apply in my daily routine. Man, did that help me!! I live in Brazil, so many of the foods and spices you mention I find easily and also are greatly affordable. Discussing with my psychiatric, I asked him to keep the meds to a minimum, only what could be defined as fundamental. So I don't make use of anything else besides venvanse. And know this. I had lots fat concentrated in a lot of parts, didn't have good sleep, disposition. In about 2 months after signing to your channel, forcing myself to eat better, I ended up finding out that this routine is actually cheaper to mantain, due to the simpleness of the cooking process I use. Also because a lot of those foods are rather easy to grow and find over here. Dude, a great thanks from the bottom of my heart. In about 7 months I watch your channel, I lost the equivalent to 20 pounds. Less sugar, less salt, less saturated fats. Also, my professional performance. You see, i'm a salesman and after 4 months with this discipline, I had the 3 best salaries in these 2 years on my company. I'm a fan and recommend you to everyone. 🙏
Hello, I also have ADHD. And dealing with everything is just so hard, I live alone and I have to do all by myself which is overly exhausting and overwhelming. But the meal plan is something I really wanna fix in my life because I came to a realization healthy diet and sleep (which both I am terrible at) plus good workout is the key of every problem. Recently managed to quit smoking and that gave me a confidence I in fact can fix my sleeping and eating problems because addiction was one other thing I though I would never beat. But since I also have adhd cooking the same foods everyday will be boring and I literally dont have mental capacity to think what to cook everyday. Can you share your meal plan so I can copy?
i love your videos, its really changed the way i eat and which foods i prioritise eating. the fact that you just break everything down into actual nutritional value is awesome. now i began to track my foods to identify what micronutrients im deficient in and add things to my diet to fix them by watching your videos as a guide for optimal diet. now instead of cereal for breakfast i eat a high protein skyr yogurt mixed with strawberries, a banana, chia seeds, walnuts, macadamia nuts and almonds and about 20 ish grams of protein powder.
I'm a little surprised he neglected to mention the LDL/HDL cholesterol in eggs. Eating TOO MANY eggs can actually be harmful cuz you're still consuming SOME bad cholesterol. Eating a ton of them every day is really not a good idea, especially when you consider that while they do provide protein, it's not enough protein if you're really looking to pack on skeletal muscle in conjunction with regular muscle building exercises.

@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381can I ask your weight and your maintenance calories? I'm struggling with mine, I'm 69kg and even when I was eating 3000+ calories I wasn't gaining weight.
@@mmhmm9271 76 kg's right now, my maintenance would probably be around 3500.
Corn Flakes was a surprise to me. I always thought Corn Flakes cereal was mostly limited to the United States and Cananda, with other countries having some form of porridge instead.
Why fat free?
I eat eggs, toast, and peanut butter as my post workout breakfast pretty much every day. Hits protein, carbs, and fats in one go and it’s just such a satisfying meal for me. I also LOVE chicken, beef, avocado, pretty much most fruits, a lot of vegetables, beans, ALL cheese (minus brie), and crackers. I love this channel because I feel like I can relate so much to wanting the best for my body, and I love knowing what all the different foods compare up to each other. Great video, Talon!
@@saccount-z3 hush. no one asked.
I think the use of actual ways to incorporate a lot of these foods was an incredibly helpful inclusion. I think sometimes hearing about the best foods to eat without mentioning recipes or incorporation methods limits the effectiveness of the advice. I appreciate this channel very greatly! Thank you!
Pumpkin seeds is a daily for me! I sprinkle it on whatever breakfast I’m having; whether it’s eggs, protein cereal, cottage cheese, or Greek yogurt. It’s great cause it goes with sweet AND savory foods!
i found them hard to sprout so i stopped eating them. i take chia seeds instead now.
that's great, I usually make a pumpkin seed butter with added flax and chia seeds for the Omega 3s
@@matthewxuereb5129 that sounds SO good!!
I also put flax seeds in my kodiak cakes, and chia seeds in my tea sometimes!
I eat nuts and dried fruit almost every day for breakfast. I really like almonds in particular. I know they’re really calorie dense but that hasn’t stopped me from losing a lot of weight eating this way since I weigh it out every time.
Idk the science on this man but nut calories don’t even seem real to me. I started eating what should be around 1000 calories of nuts every day like 2 months back and I’ve gotten super lean without taking anything else out of my diet that would contribute to that many calories (I stopped eating grains but I was only consuming about 200 cals a day of oats). This is on top of a pound of ground beef and hella fruit every day. So enjoy your almonds man they probably won’t make you fat. Make sure you get sprouted nuts or soak them in water overnight though to lessen the amount of anti nutrients.
Almonds have cyanide poison and also oxalates that destroy your gut biome. Who knew. I NEVER eat almonds or spinach either (highest oxalates).
Thanks so much for this list ! Here is mine (considering i am a woman, not in a bulking or cutting diet, simply trying to enjoy my food while eating healthy) :
1. White meat
2. Salmon (not everyday but at least 1/2)
3. Avocado
4. Fruits (apple, banana, raspberries)
5. Skyr
6. Lots of vegetables (eggplant, carrots, zucchini, etc.)
7. Black coffee with no sugar
8. Cinnamon
9. Agave sirup
10. Eggs
This channel is growing into something outstanding! Keep up the great work, and yes the more casual approach is enjoyable. Still learned something new.
Thank you for another great video, Talon. Your videos are some of the best nutrition/health videos on TH-cam. Really appreciate how clear, concise, and non-bombasty you are. Please keep up the great work!
Foods I usually eat every day: dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, arugula), oatmeal, nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.), cacao, cinnamon (also), coffee, and also ginger...lots of ginger tea!
I’m hoping for the plant based protein alternative tier list 🙏
i´d love that aswell!
I second that!
plant based protein is half as good as animal protein. In terms of health being vegan is bad for you, but if it's for religious reasons then nevermind, I respect your position
@@Vengeance_I_m yeah you’ve been misinformed
@@Vengeance_I_m yah I get that, I also think it’s interesting how they engineer things like beyond meet and all that
Your diet is so similar to mine it's actually conforting, being Mexican and living in Mexico I have easy access and enjoy the taste of beans, avocados and ingredients for making salsa. All of those have enhanced my weight loss diet to make my food more nutrituous, tastier and filling.
Y igual te ves bien marranete Wey 😂😂😂
el problema son las tortillas de harina, galletas y pan dulce ;_;
I absolutely loved this video so much. The laid back style is a great breath of fresh air from the more information dense videos. It's also a great indicator of some of the benefits of foods that some people overlook.
Egg and yogurt with oatmeal and mixed nuts with honey everyday.
Rice and beans with protein (I have all of them throughout the week: fish, pork, beef and chicken) and salad (usually lettuce, tomato, carrot, broccoli and cabbage, maybe kale).
And I drink sparkling water with lime juice almost daily too.
Maybe do a series on staple foods, their benefits and maybe how to possibly improve on them. Rice and beans is mine.
Babe wake up
I already watched the video don't worry!
👁👁
🔴 I don't eat animal products... one of the things I _do_ eat though, every single day, is RICE - BEANS - and MOLE (the Mexican sauce). With Mexican seasonings on top, it's amazing! I can eat it every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it, it's that good!
I'll usually have oatmeal for breakfast, or non-dairy yogurt with fruit, granola, and chia & flax seeds, then for lunch a collard greens - Lacinato kale - mustard greens salad with tomatoes, mushrooms, olive oil, hemp seeds and a small amount of salad dressing.
For drinks I'll have pomegranate juice, green tea, coffee, sparkling water, kombucha, and pinot noir.
Loving this style of video!
The food I have every day would be either coffee (these days, I make decaf) for the general mineral content, and I also just like it, black with maybe a little milk or skinny syrups. Oats are another I really like, super versatile. I've been making pizza baked oats lately, the crust is made of oat flour, among other things like nutritional yeast for protein.
Yeah oats are great. Pretty consistently whenever I've been lazy with my diet whether through mental or circumstantial reasons, the oats come in as such a good crutch. Using it as a filler for pizza sounds interesting for sure!
My top 10:
1.) Dark chicken (organic and pasture raised)
2.) Eggs (pasture raised)
3.) Garlic
4.) Broccoli (organic)
5.) Green Beans (organic)
6.) Cashews
7.) Pistachios
8.) Oranges or other Citrus
9.) Berries-strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, also pomegranate (seeds).
10.) Peanuts/Peanut Butter (no sugar)
organic dark chicken?
what does “organic” mean in this context?
for veggies, it means no artificial fertilisers, do chickens normally get sprinkled NPK on them?
@@tl1326 I think you’re on the right track there. Basically yeah, the chickens are fed stuff that is organic feed, etc. No GMO’s, etc.
Your videos really changed my way of thinking about food and my body changed alot since I started regulating my diet. Thank you for your effort with this amazing content!
I love this video, it's nice to see that despite your knowledge you have a realistic approach. I enjoy seeing everyone's picks, so heres mine:
1. Oats
2. Walnuts
3. Zucchini
4. Natural yogurt
5. Cottage cheese
6. Lemons in hot water (I prefer it over tea)
7. Sodium cyclamate (cheaper and more tasty for me than erythritol)
8. Some fruit, usually frozen strawberries
9. Pure cocoa powder
10. Cinammon
ive recently incorporated salsa into my daily rotation in lieu of salad dressing. its a game changer. also, for anyone who menstruates, boiling a dew cinnamon sticks for a few minutes is good for cramps, and its delicious. i usually put a bit of almond or oat milk creamer into my cinnamon tea for sweetness but it doesnt need it.
Most days i work i eat a bunch of whole eggs for breakfast plus a banana with no sugar added vanilla greek yogurt for a snack later.
At home, i usually do eggwhites for breakfast.
I realize i HATE green leafy vegetables. Raw.
But ive been getting better at including them by slicing them fine (any lettuce, kale, spinach, etc) and throwing them in a bowl then pouring boiling brothy soup over the top.
Also, most of my soups are either based on chicken breast or lean ground beef, and i also usually include lentils and/or barley to make them a bit more hearty without spiking blood sugar like with rice or pasta.
the casual style videos like this are really nice. understanding more about your own personal habits & philosophies puts everything else on the channel into better context 🎉😊
hi!! i’ve been vegan for over three years and here are some of mine lol
1. oats (i love oats)
2. tempeh
3. zucchini
4. kombucha (no added sugar)
5. green tea
6. dates (usually not more than 2)
7. carrots
8. recently i’ve been eating brazil nuts to help my thyroid
9. dark chocolate
10. hummus
I heard oats are even bad for horses. I used to eat oats every day for around 5 years and now I can't even put them in my mouth its like my body became allergic (I can eat muesli bars but not cereal oats).
No beans?
Eat some protein
One of my favorite videos of you yet!
Which is crazy, since the other ones are already hard to top with the amount of quality information.
I've been loving your videos so much!! I feel like they may even be changing my life for the better by making me make more confident food choices. Thank you and I noticed that cheese tier list tease!! I'm so excited for that cheese tier list cause cheese is one of my favorite foods :)
Talon, thank you for these videos. The easy to understand and use information has been instrumental in what has been a renaissance of my health in the last sit months.
thank you so much for sharing this. it is invaluable to see this kind of transparency and to know what you and other people REALLY do eat. i am subscribed, thumbs up and saved every one of your videos. great stuff!
Never thought to put cinnamon in coffee! I just got some whole Ceylon rolls the other day, looking forward to trying it on the microfiche tomorrow
Another top tier video. Ever since I started cooking for myself, I've also found beans being HUGE.
I agree, this is an amazing video
The only food I enjoy eating everyday is greek yogurt. You don't have to cook it, it's not that expensive and it is very nutricious which makes it the best breakfast food imo.
How do you keep it creamy in the fridge? I tried to put it deeper, it worked one time, but otherwise it's always half liquid half solid state or something like that.
I also eat it every day and stir it up a bit if it looks soupy. I use the low fat one and don't remember the one with fat being as soupy.
Spinach most days of the week. Very versatile. Tastes great in beans/curry/pasta.
I strongly agree with ginger being gods greatest gift🙏
You should do a supplements video. I personally use magnesium, omega 3, and collagen.
As for everyday foods... well, it varies, but the rice bowl is my main staple. It consists of a protein (salmon, chicken, pork, or beef), vegetables (parsnip, beet, ginger, carrot, peas, kale etc etc etc) dressed in a sauce (varies, but usually a homemade one), all cozied up next to a bed of rice. It's so easy to make and just takes up about 25 minutes.
I've watched all of your content and I've become better informed as a result. 🙂 That being said, I felt better about my diet after this one. 😃 Eating properly just seems like so much work sometimes. I like food and I love to cook and bake but, seriously, if I had my way I'd be photosynthetic.
My breakfast daily is over easy eggs, one or two, and avocado slices. Lunch and dinner alternates between chicken breast, fish or shrimp, lean ground turkey tacos, with veggie or salad and fruits in between. I enjoy my current diet thoroughly. I will be trying to work some ginger and other suggestions here as well! Thanks for the info
Talon - any style of video you upload I’ll watch. Always great content.
Tuna, greek yoghurt, peanut butter, fruit, coffee, wholemeal, seeded bread, milk. Helps me hit my macros and micros while being enjoyable to eat.
Careful with tuna if you're buying canned. It's usually low grade thus higher mercury content.
@@JdotCarver yup i ate tuna everyday at my school and i dont think i have ever felt that sick
For breakfast I have an egg scramble - consisting of 1 egg, 1/2 yellow onion, 1 bell pepper, 1 tomato, couple florets of broccoli, onion and garlic powder, and olive oil (and that's literally it). On a pita wrap with coffee. It's delicious and nutritious!
I really like how in depth you're going with these kind of videos. Could you by any chance do the same kind of video for a vegetarian/vegan diet? I'd just replace the meats with some sort of plant protein but I'm not really sure which one to include.
If you are not allergic to soy, tofu is the best place for plant based protein (complete protein, cheap, easy to use).
Great video combining knowledge and personal prefs. My top choices:
1. Beans. Mixed bean soup
2. Eggs. Over-easy or omelets
3. Cabbage. sauerkraut, made with onion, or sauteed
4. Meat/chicken/sardine
5. Greens and zucchini. sauteed or pan-fried
6. Kefir. home-made, easily by leaving milk with starter at room temperature for a few hours
7. Veggies: yam, kabucha, potato
Finally, a healthy food enjoyer who doesn’t insist on eating bland. The pictures of pale chicken breasts on plain white rice hunt my mind.
weekly foods (because it's only 3-4 days a week typically) chicken, turkey, Salmon, tuna, beans, lentils, eggs, green onions, red onions, dates, garlic,oatmeal, homemade rye bread, seeds, mixed berries (blue, rasp, black, straw) kale.
Definitely like this style of video. Showcasing the facts while bringing your own spin to it. Cheers!
For me the food that i eat every day would definitely be oatmeal, i will literally eat it for breakfast and supper every single day, you probably could compare how i feel about oatmeal to how most asians feel about rice. The reason why i eat (and love) it so much is because i have to keep my diet low in sodium, so i can't really use bread or buns for my carb source and also because i love the taste and texture of oatmeal, and you can make so many combinations with it, the list is basically endless. Oatmeal for life
I have been struggling with pregnancy nausea and this video just reminded me I had a jar of pickled ginger just sitting in my pantry! I am so glad I clicked. Just ate a bit now. Let's see if it helps 😆
For me, not everyday but make a conscious effort to include often: beans (blackbeans, soy in various forms), alliums (purple onions, garlic, chives, etc), citruses (grapefruit, tangerines, oranges, lemons, looking into pomellos), grains (wheat (germ, bran), quinoa), greens (spinach, arugula, kale), berries (blackberries, raspberries, wild blueberries, pomegranite), spices (black pepper, oregano, cumin, turmeric, ginger, ceylon cinnamon), fats (EVOO, advocado), misc (cacao, yogurt, kimchi, saurekraut, psyllium husk, tea, kombucha, MCT oil). Of course overall variety (“eat the rainbow”) is king for your diet, but these foods in particular I have determined to be particularly nutritious for specific nutrients or phytonutrients that they have.
Some of mine are eggs, milk, spinach, and blueberries. In fact, items 2-4 on that list I often blend into a single smoothie and eat with my eggs. Then I bounce back and forth between two out of three red meat, white meat, and seafood.
avocado is so expensive though Y_Y
expensiveness is relative
@@zygmuntIIIwuzza everything is pretty much
Rice and beans, eggs, yogurt, blueberry, brazilian nut (im brazilian), soy milk, chicken, dark chocolate, banana, oat, protein bar, carrots, tomato, sometimes integral pasta
I really like Whole Milk, Arugula, Tuna, Onions, Apples and I use olive oil on a lot of foods.
I do think that eggs are one of the most amazing foods nutritionally, versatility in cooking, and taste. I like how there are all sorts of different eggs we can eat too.
Loved this video format! Would also love to see content about cooking methods and how it affects the nutritional value of foods
I come often to this channel to check on nutrition values of foods. Thanks for that!
I eat every single day:
- 4 eggs with onion and spices (curcumin, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, oregano)
- 1 loaf of ancient grain whole bread
- black coffees with turmeric and cinnamon and half a teaspoon of sugar
- green tea with mint, with either raw honey or stevia, with some almonds or other grains/seeds.
Almost every day:
- Fish: salmon or tuna. Sometimes replaced with sardines or red meat.
- 1 teaspoon of cod liver only on the days I don't eat salmon.
- If I get hungry between the daily 2 meals, I eat fruits and veggies found in top 2 tiers in your videos.
Half the time:
- Leafy green salad (green lettuce and/or kale, onion, green pepper, avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper etc.)
- Carb-heavy meals (rice, pasta, etc).
- 1 glass of grass-fed whole Milk
I'm trying to replace carbs and starch (rice, pasta, bread, sugar in coffee) with ketogenic options, but it's a slow process.
The reasoning for turmeric and oregano? Asking because the all the rest I can vouch for.
@@JdotCarver Thanks for reading. Oregano is just to replace cilantro or parsley which I'm too lazy to cut. Turmeric is a prevalent spice in my country of birth. It also happens to be one of the healthiest spices around:

Bro needs to eat more vegetables
Salsa
Not necessarily
I love the ginger they give with sushi, so I totally see myself adding that to meals throughout the day. Thank you on the cinnamon tip I’m insulin resistant and will apply that.
3:19 insulin actually transports sugar out of the bloodstream and into your tissues where it can be used. Insulin sensitivity means that your tissues absorb the glucose even with a small amount of insulin (which is good).
Anyway, great video as always!
This video style was so sick!! Definitely a welcome change of pace to the tier lists tho both are great. Keep up the good work, thanks for all your hard work into putting this info out into such an easy to disgust (haha) form :)
Cinnamon also tastes amazing on sautéed butternut squash! I love pickled ginger and put it on my salads, but throwing some fresh ginger in a protein smoothie with some greens and berries is also a great way to get that ginger in.
Butternut squash is such an underrated veggie. I like to cook beef and butter in a pan, then take that beef fat and butter mixture and drizzle it over butternut squash, then hit it with Sal, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and sage in the oven. I could eat my weight in it
I've been in battle with my body for 40 or so years, this channel has given me more respectful guidelines than any other source (i.e Drs looking down on me and chastising me). I'm not hugely overweight but still developed Type 2 Diabetes (likely genetic and choices combo).
Do you think the capsule forms of Ginger and Capsaicin would work as I don't like the flavour/heat of these.

Good evening and Happy New Year from the glorious SF Bay Area. I just discovered your videos and have been reviewing them with interest. I have been eating with health and planet consciousness for 50 years but I really like your more scientific break downs. I don't recommend meats 3 times a day or too much emphasis on dairy, however, I do consume them regularly with a reduction of meats to fewer times a week and cheese and yogurt almost every day. AVOCADOS!!! My staple. My biggest change here in January 2024 is to almost eliminate alcohol, at least for a time. If in a month or two I don't miss it, which I already don't on day 9, maybe I'll not go back unless it is for a picnic and wine tasting. You are reminding me about beans, which I always keep on hand, but I'll use them more. Thanks!
I like both formats but I think this one is easier to watch and remember.
Eggs are great in smoothies too
Make it rich n creamy, no eggy taste at all!
I do egg coffee too, 2 yolks, 2 whole. Use a stickblender to emulsify.
Or egg broth, same as coffee but use broth. Delish with salt and butter! Very satiating.
Every morning (after 11:30am) I eat porridge. A teaspoon of sunflower seeds, two teaspoons of oat bran, two teaspoons of ground flax, a teaspoon of spelt flakes, half a teaspoon of psyllium husk, then oatmeal that adds up to the volume of all the above. I also have been including a handful of peanuts before or after the porridge for extra protein.
I enjoyed your video! I appreciate this casual style, more ways to expand on it could be some of your favorite recipes!
Nutrition tier list of carbs please? You are the best at explaining this type of stuff
I eat prunes almost daily. They’re easy to eat quickly in the morning and you don’t need to prepare them (thought sometimes i’ll put em in a pan with some other fruit).
The thing I don’t understand about eggs is the switch ups people have to them every few months/years. “Eggs are amazing for you!” “Eggs are horrible for you!” “No wait they’re actually great for you!” Reminds me of the way fat has been demonized by sugar companies…
I think it's both, it's a great source of nutrients but also has a lot of cholesterol so not good to eat a lot of
Consider using cinnamon in savory foods too, not just sweet. Cinnamon in a squash soup is probably the most easy gateway to using it more in savory dishes, since people in the west are already accustomed to squash and cinnamon as a pairing in sweet stuff.
Also not as healthy, but avocado in sweets is also very underrated. Avocado chocolate pudding is probably the easiest gateway for this. Extremely easy to make and the avocado makes it so buttery and creamy.
I eat a serving of pumpkin purée every day!! I make this smoothie with the pumpkin, 1/2 c unsweet almond milk, half a ripe banana, a healthy dashing of cinnamon, and just a smidge of maple syrup if I’m feeling crazy lol. I have it for breakfast along side a couple eggs so I have a good balance of fiber, protein and carbs (and some good micros). it does indeed taste like a pumpkin pie. You can add ice if you want before blending but I just chill it overnight and it’s perfect. I’m thinking about throwing in some grated ginger though, that sounds like an amazing idea!
I'm so glad you pointed out the importance of learning to cook ! I cant count the number of bros that told me they eat dry chicken breast everyday... I always respond that should add cooking youtubers to their habits since a well prepared chicken breast isnt suppose to be dry. On the contrary.
Grass fed ground beef and organic pasture raised eggs , raw cheese, and blueberries almost every single day .
Foods I eat everyday (nearly): eggs, white meat, Greek yoghurt, berries (namely blueberries & raspberries). I eat avocado, red meat, and cruciferous vegetables a few times a week, too. I would love to include more ginger in my diet, but have never been quite sure of what recipes to use it with.
I eat eggs just about every day. I'm on winter break right now so I have plenty of time to cook multiple times a day. Eggs for breakfast, usually no lunch, and fish or chicken with vegetables for dinner.
i really enjoyed this !! we have similar diets, i also eat eggs, avocado, beans and some form of white meat every day !!
So glad you finally covered ginger. It's even better than I had hoped!
Blueberries, yogurt, walnuts (sometimes almonds), chia seeds, fish (easy in Korea), kimchi, bell peppers (usually red or yellow), apples... spices: cinnamon, red pepper (cayenne or hot pepper flakes),
That's my 10 everyday foods list. The blueberries and yogurt are literally every day seeing as how it's the easiest breakfast and no-time-for-cooking dinner. I add cinnamon to tons of things - even spicy foods sometimes and curry if/when I have it.
I'm in the process of working on my physical and mental health all at once by building an edible garden. I'm super lucky to live in the subtropics, though cursed with clay soil, so I have my work cut out for me, but I'm super mindful of what I'll be planting in terms of nutrition. I won't ever be doing a 'can you live off only what you can grow' because I would miss out on way too many things I don't have space and resources for - like salmon, olive oil, milk and cheese! What has been really fun for me while doing my research is looking at what I can grow and what is good for me too from all the produce I can potentially grow. A lot of what is on your list is possible for me to grow - ginger, avocado, cinnamon, onion, tomato, jalapeños, onion, garlic, citrus and beans and a bunch of other great foods. Fermenting/pickling is my next subject, and it would be great to get a probiotic tier list for fermented foods, or even preserved/budget foods for the bulk shoppers.
I tend to cherry-pick my good advice, and its wonderful to be able to cross-reference what I'm learning with what I can provide myself and my family with in a sustainable way... even just with micro-greens and potted edible plants. I love the videos, both casual and formal!
One thing about eggs which is often fiercely debated is their effect on serum cholesterol levels. There have been several randomised control trials that have demonstrated consumption of eggs to increase cholesterol levels even when consumed as infrequently as once per week. While they are indeed very nutritious and I personally occasionally eat them every couple of weeks I think this is one caveat worth mentioning.
About ginger - Yeah, i agree it's a great food against chronic inflammation so at least older people should consume it on a regular basis, but it delaiyng onset muscle soreness tells me it might reduce gains, so yeah use it for the goals you desire!
But great video and thank you for telling us in decent detail how we can implement the spices in our diet, i use cinnamon in a lot of things but it never occued to me to use it in yoghurt. I have a yoghurt with bifidus bacteria in it (the beneficial kind ofc lmao) and with some extra protein so i may as well make it maximize the health benefits and taste by adding cinnamon to it.
Thing is, ground beef is nice, but outside of pasta and filled bell peppers i don't really use it. Anyway overall it's a great video, and i like your balance between foods with health benefits and that are tasty as well, that's exactly what the world needs!
Cinnamon goes really well also with umamy and spicy foods, for example I use it as a spice for chicken curry
Man I love watching your videos while eating my lunch or dinner. Idk how but I feel like it makes my meals more healthy watching and manifesting all the vitamins and minerals you keep saying haha.
My Top 10 almost everyday
1. Oats
2. Eggs
3. Low fat cottage cheese
4. Pumpkin+Sesame Seeds
5. Mackerel in tomato sauce
6. High quality pork liver pate
7. Romaine salad, tomato, cucumber, black olives + extra virgin olive oil OR broccoli, carrot + cauliflower
8. Chicken thighs or lean ground beef.
9. Forest berries + protein powder.
10. Beans, lentils, chickpeas or green peas.
I eat oatmeal daily, it's easy to make and it's filling. I like that it's versatile and be used to hit a number of nutritional goals.
I eat eggs every day because they're relatively cheap and relatively lean, easy, and can be prepared so many different ways. I also like that they taste good to me as a whole food with nothing at all added, I don't add cheese or ketchup or any of the stuff a lot of people like because I genuinely like the taste alone. I also eat tomatoes almost every day when they're in season because they are so easy to add to sandwiches and salads, breakfast lunch and dinner
I accidentally made this my diet and I kept losing weight without even trying, regular workout routine but I just couldn't stop eating avocados + cheese + eggs + salsa. Im still not sick of Mexican taco/nacho vibed foods and I still eat them to this day with siete grain free chips. It just felt so right and I always felt good after eating it.
If nutrition wasn't a thing. I could probably eat tacos every meal myself
Just don't know what t say cept I love that stuff too!😊
Im considering making a "guacamole" from avacado and finely minced versions of everything in your S tier vegetables list. I'll use it for a filling in uncooked collard green wraps.
this is great.
my main picks:
4 eggs almost daily with a good amount of butter, sometimes add some chia seeds on top when they are done.
soaked oats with butter and maple syrup.
whole wheat sourdough bread for easy magnesium
cacao with cream for easy magnesium.
lots of tasty hard raw cheeses (30g+ protein per 100g), eg gruyere reserve, parmigiano reggiano, sainte maure.
canned cod liver once or twice per week (tons of vtamin A and D)
different varieties of red meat that are easy to prepare and delicious ofc.
canned sardines, mackerel occasionally.
local shrimp and fish (shrimp is expensive, but good wild caught fish are really inexpensive relatively speaking)
This is much harder as a truck driver, the only things that have worked so far is carnivore which i cant do anymore because of the long lasting pallet fatigue, which has now brought me to 36hr fasting and calorie counting. As long as i'm under 2200 i should be okay, but i aim for 1600 to 1800 through out the week (assuming i'll always hit a little above each). Lost ~50lbs on carn and about 5 with fasting, aiming for 170 or 160, starting from 245lbs.
