Im up 4 that as well, personally; i use Oyster Mushrooms on every meal since i suffer from IBS and those are seriously low fodmap and pallatable; but i wont to try Lions Mane and Chaga for their benefits though
there endless edible varietes and most are very similar just different micros just mix and vary them my favourites are shiitake and oyster and tryna find lions mane where it isnt too expensive
@@Pablo.B.M. I've heard straw mushrooms have an unsual amount of protein for a mushroom, and are weirdly high in calories of a mushroom. I bet there would be some really intresting and suprising ones
I would disagree with your closing statement of this video being "not the most educational". It not only shows what ingredients I could think about adding to my diet, but also how I would be able to do that. You provide all this beautiful information about singular ingredients and I tend to struggle to connect them into something I can eat routinely. Giving insight in how you yourself go about it with some of these ingredients helps me a lot with that.
I've added Greek yogurt to my diet this year, and my gut's definitely thanked me for it. I've had gastrointestinal issues for over a decade now. Greek yogurt's been such a massive improvement to my quality of life.
Still the best channel for nutrition. Mushrooms are severely underrated, probably due to their macro-profile, so I hope you sheding some light on them will get people to include them in their diets more. Much love
@@ijustlike0010 asian markets are the holy grail of grocery shopping imo. perhaps I'm biased because I mostly cook japanese food and the area I go to for asian markets really is the best, but everything there is so inexpensive, especially with weekly sales, the produce alone is 100% worth it.

This year I started making homemade snack bars with peanut butter (the kind you have to stir first), oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, puréed bananas, and some honey to help it all bind together

so thankful for this channel, has allowed me to have a complete life change in terms of perspective and approach to food and nutrition. I would love to see a video on a day of eating that you’d consider near perfect in terms of nutrition and balance
no this was one of the most educational videos you made because it's a guide to how you can adapt what you learn to your personal preferences and be more healthy and like your diet at the same time, because as we know many people tend to be very rigid about diets despite they don't need to
Theres a religion, Jainism, where followers refrain from eating garlic, or anything else that grows under the earth, such as potatoes or sweet potatoes or radishes. Its always surprising to me how they're able to get adequate nutrition, as so much of my diet consists of these vegetables, but also, I can't imagine going a whole lifetime without having garlic or onion breath.
it’s so refreshing to see videos about nutrition done in a lighthearted and fun way, while still being super educational. it motivates me to eat better. keep up the good work!!
I had laughed so much when hearing the dislike, I've had really good cups of green tea but understand the taste of a bad cup of green tea that he dislikes.
Started eating oats with chia seeds, cinnamon, honey and raisins. Been eating eggs consistently, too. I’ve greatly minimalised the amount of bacon I consume. Started eating Greek yogurt, too. I mix it with all sorts of grains and honey. I’ve even developed a taste for broccoli for the first time in my life. And I like to have a nice glass of full cream milk every now and then.
Ive started eating more bacon on the other hand just make sure you get farm raised bacon because its way more healthy and has less micro plastics(yes bacons actually healthy and so is cholesterol) ive also drinkibg raw milk and its help with my skin and brain fog and overall health. I try to get more eggs but some days i forgot lol but i recommend getting more meat and fat ive noticed getibg more protien and fat has help with energy levels alot and pumpkins seeds help me with getting better sleep!
@@joshuacarrillo3078 You're right cholesterol from healthy sources is great as it increases brain function and balances hormones but pigs are not Pigs sweat inside their body and their sweat doesn't exit the body so all of that toxic waste goes in your mouth
If you are more in the eastern U.S. seek out Greek yogurt from the brand Cabot, and get the 10% milk fat. It has 25% rda for Vit D-3, which is natural, not fortified. Cabot is based out of Vermont, it's cheeses are excellent too. I'm in TN so it's available at Walmart and a few other stores, but when I was in TX last week, they didn't have it at that Walmart or anywhere.
I started including a lot of green beans in my diet these pass few months. I also started to include more onions in basically EVERY food I'm making, including stir fries, beans, rice and beans, cornmeal, etc.
I have issues with most vegetables due to a sensory processing disorder, but I finally got around to desensitizing myself to zucchini this year! It’s been a great addition to my diet since it’s relatively cheap and nutritious. I might try to work on mushrooms eventually, but they’re a sensory nightmare for me, so I can only eat very small ones mixed in with other stuff. I’ve also been attempting to eat salads that come with other meals at restaurants lol
You might want to try dried mushroom powder - can just add it to soups/sauces. There are actually quite a few vegetables available in powder form. I know for me there are some fruits and veggies I can eat cooked, some that are better raw and some I will never try again no matter how they are prepared. I also like some pickled.
@@lunar1227 Think of it like crossed wires. They essentially have either pain or extremely distasteful sensory perceptions when eating certain textures. An uncomfortable example of what it can be like is rubbing cotton or aluminum foil on your teeth.
I love this video! Earlier this year (January/ February) I really started paying more attention to my diet now that I've been living on my own for a few years. After making choices to add or replace certain foods in my diet I started noticing, after only a month or so, how much better I was starting to feel. I even started to hit the gym more often niw that I had the energy and I'm already starting to see progress! I couldn't have done this without your help! Furthermore your videos helped me find a new love I hadn't known before. I'm a first years Chemistry student and started studying Food and Pharmaceuticals, after finding out that Chemical Forensic Research wasn't my cup of tea. Thank you for inadvertently helping me find this path, I'm loving the new study!
A few comments. Almonds, the oxalates are mostly on the skin. You can remove it or Blanche them to reduce it. You can also take calcium at a different time to bind it for removal. Broccoli, for sulfirafane benefits you should combine it with ground mustard seed. Butter for cooking. Butter has a low smoke point as does olive oil. Try coconut oil, its high smoke point combined with the medium chain triglycerides and lower long chain triglycerides makes it a winner. Add butter after you cook food to benifit from small chain triglycerides.
I’ve added heaps thanks to your list lol. Started eating Sugar Snap Peas and capsicum as a mid afternoon snack. Chard cooked with garlic and onion as a dinner side dish. Sesame seeds and avo in lunch salads. Almonds and bananas in my shakes. Eggs and Greek yogurt in my French toast. Even my son has burritos every morning for brekky full of veg and lean meats with mozarella and salsa - and it’s been a great way to add veg in his diet. Thanks for your vids!!
Green tea is actually really tasty, it just depends where you get it. Stores are not tasty, but in my country we have lots of stores with actual tea, sold in dried leaves, and those are the best. And so many flavours, and yes, they are natural
I’ve started eating a lot more squash this year. Mostly in an attempt to eat foods that are exclusively in season throughout the year but let me tell you, I never knew the culinary universe that opens up when adding squash to your diet. I think it should be a much more regular part of food life
Love this channel and your videos Talon! Your videos have led me to making a good amount of changes to my diet, very much for the better. Have you thought about doing a video on actual full meals and recipes? Rather than just on individual ingredients. I think that would make a great video. You could do a video for breakfast ideas, then lunch, snacks and evening meals.
Cucumbers! I ate only pickles and use to pick cukes out of my salad. Because they’re easy to grow and full of water and some nutrients I made myself eat them. Now I love them. Same with radishes.
Loved your videos this year! I feel the tortilla's so hard, it's just too convenient to be able to wrap up whatever shape, viscosity, or flavor palette of food in a wrap so it's neat and compact. I'd be interested for your take on a tier list of the gourmet mushrooms becoming more popular recently; I've been growing Lion's Mane and Blue Oysters at my apartment for a while now and would be interested to see how they compare to Portabello's or others
Oh yes, in my country we eat garlic cloves along with soups. As a kid we used to snack on them (on weekends in which I wasn't outside, bc garlic breath) I love garlic
watched a couple videos of you and i have to say i might change my eating habits from unhealthy to healthy, quite motivating to know whats good for you and whats not
I started adding frozen veggie mixes to my diet. I already ate a lot of veggies before this addition, but in stressful times, when i had hardly any time or motivation to cook, i would lack a lot of nutrients. Now i just throw them in whatever lazy meal I'm making and even when it's just instant ramen or a couple of eggs for dinner, it at least has some more nutrients.
Hi! I just really wanted to thank you for your videos. Today was a stressful day at at work. So, as per usual, at the evening, i went in a shop craving for a dessert. Quite often, I'd take a cake or a pack of something covered in chocolate. But today i glanced at a kiwi and remembered that you've put in the highest tier. So I've bought kiwi and strawberry and treated myself with a fruit salad! And it made me so happy! Not only as a sugar boost, but as a heathy choice I've made for my wellbeing. Hope it becomes a habit. Maybe it's silly, yet you're actually inspiring me. So thank you 🙏
Great video as always Talon. I definitely prefer your more educational style videos, but it's definitely refreshing to get to know your personal habits a bit better Before you completely give up on green tea, may I suggest (if you haven't done so already) that you try brewing it between 70-75 C (158-167 F). Usually this means putting the kettle on, pouring your mug as soon as the kettle's done, then waiting about 5 min before adding your teabag. A lot of people don't know that brewing your tea at an excessively hot temp (>80C) will make it bitter...this is why homemade green teas, or those purchased at cafes, will be very bitter but the ones served at asian restaurants are generally mild and pleasant. Also, surprised that butter made the list. I understand it given the caveat that you pair it with lean animal proteins and only have maybe 5-10g at a time, but I definitely didn't expect it to make a "top 10"-style video given the vast amounts of research into the links between saturated fats, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease risk. Proof that moderation is key!
Im so glad this channel got recommaned in my homepage 😊. I really really love the list you do in nutrions and explaining them, please dont stop posting 🙏
I have begun eating more beans and mushrooms; they're in every meal prep. There are a fair number of benefits to them while providing good quantities of fiber, yet also with a nice savory flavor. I started consuming raw kombucha too, although the benefits of that are debated; I just enjoy it.
Oh my gosh, thank you thank you thank you for reminding me about my grandmas. Awesome broccoli recipe. I used to bring it to parties very inexpensive. Very easy to make and very very healthy. It’s got an awesome story behind it. I’m going out again. I bring food into vents broccoli, baby it’s all about my grandma‘s recipe for broccoli.
Also try shrimp soup. Shrimp, some veggie/wok mix, a bit of onion, a bit of tomato paste, cayenne, salt and potatoes if you want. Also filling. You can make it 4lbs for relatively low kcal
This year I started food prepping Sundays. A fruit snack mix with 5 or so different fruits. A vegetable lentil stew with spinach and beans. Hummus. Sardines. Mixed nuts with walnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, cashews... And kombucha along with other fermented products like Kimchi.
In my stir fry ginger, garlic, mangetout, red onion, pak Choi, curly kale, red or yellow pepper, (either a fresh chilli or dried one with tomato puree, green cardamom, turmeric, a tad more ginger and garlic blitz as the sauce)chestnut mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms with either diced chicken or chickpeas….and occasionally ribboned carrots..
Really glad you mentioned butter! I've studied seed oils and it's certainly true that most aren't good to cook with. Butter, ghee, olive oil, coconut oil, tallow, are all amazing alternative options and yes butter makes eggs so much tastier!
Frying eggs in coconut oil is also really good👌 Also if you've had bad experiences with green tea that for a few reasons. 1) you probably used tea bags(these use very low quality tea) 2) you probably used too high temperature(higher temps on green tea bring out more butter compounds, these bitter compounds are pretty healthy so take that how you want) 3) you probably steeped it for too long(similar to number 2, the longer you steep the more bitter it gets and the worse it gets). If you want good green tea(or just good tea's in general) get into loose leaf or gong fu style of tea brewing. I just got into it and it's changed my life already! If you still wanna use tea bags I've found pukka supreme matcha green tea is really good. You can steep at basically boiling water and it doesn't get overly bitter like most green teas will. So it's a good option when you just need tea not he go!
for me its been broccoli, mussels and many spices, specially cinnamon thanks to one of your vids starting adding it and made me wanna try more spices now really into it like how some go with everything and others are more of the secret mojo of certain dishes
I eat greek youghurt with 5-6 types of seeds and kernels with 2 types of berries on top for breakfast. At least every second day i drink Gazpacho (tomato, red bellpepper, garlic, chili, olive oil, balsemico and salt all blended together.
Trust me you haven't tried good green tea yet. Probably just some disgusting bagged tea. When it comes to tea you should always buy loose tea, at a special tea shop. Try Gyrokuro once and you will change your mind on green tea.
@@Talon_Fitnessit's different to black tea, you can't let it brew long at all, steep a good quality one for just a minute and then see how you like it, save the leaves and steep them again for a second cup, it will be different to the first.. plenty of videos to be found about tea ofc
@@Talon_Fitness Matcha. I grew up on green tea, but I bought a matcha set and gave myself that ritual. I also collect teas of all types. But I drink a cup or 2 of matcha everyday, along with other loose leaf and herbal teas through out the day. Adiago teas has lovely flavored matcha and Nio tea has a great channel all about green teas and sells high grade matchas and green teas.
you just drink grean tea in bags, grinding green tea makes it bitter, try some chinese green tea (not sencha) in spring or maybe even go further and try oolong, white tea or puer
I started eating zucchini. I have a hard time eating vegetables but tried incorporating more and found the zucchini to be so versatile. Before I only had it once as zoodles and hated it. But it works so well in scrambled eggs with cottage or feta cheese and bell pepper, also pairs very well with tomatoes of any kind and tastes very good in potato soup and also in stir-fries. Now it‘s one of my kitchen rotation staples! I also added Greek yogurt. It‘s a fast and easy breakfast paired with almond butter, flaxseed oil, granola or chia seeds and berries or banana. My next step would be healthy dinners as I struggle with those
I added pak-choi, delicious with some rice and beef stripes, throw in a pan, some soy sauce and it's delicious, add other veggies like mushrooms for versatility. I added curry! Needless to say my body can't take it but it's so yummy and healthy! Added sweet potato, a super food! Added pumpkin, cabbage, more veggies overall
No wonder I've been finding you so relatable, this video is like a bingo card of what I am already doing :D. Recommendation : pan-fried eggs fit perfectly in a tortilla and that is one of my go-to 5 min meals
Since a couple of months I'm blessed with a new food service at work. There are plenty of soup, fresh salad bar + hot bar choices and you can make the weirdest combinations because you pay per weight. Just having shrimp and mushrooms for lunch for instance is possible but having four different hot vegetable dishes combined too. I rarely snack in the evening now.
Thing I need to make more: smashed cucumber. It's just cucumber, raw garlic, soy sauce, and black vinegar. I've been working on eating more walnuts and more beans/lentils. I'm experimenting with my rice mixes white, brown, purple rice and try adding in millet and lentils.
A couple of things I spotted in this video: 1. Allicin is a bit tricky to obtain, it depends how you prepare the garlic. 2. You are mixing up cashew with the cashew seed (which a lot of people think it is a nut). Cashew is an edible fruit.
My dad is allergic to fish so growing up we never had any seafood except for shellfish, whoch he could eat. But since moving out ive grown to really enjoy salmon, its delicious and incredibly healthy while still being fairly low calorie. Makes me want to try other seafoods too!
I started eating Kimchi, Kefir, a wide variety of cheeses and raw garlic this year. Maybe more importantly are the foods I stopped eating. Refined Carbs mainly so breakfast cereals, all supermarket bread and white rice.
Hey talon, if green tea is disgusting to you, you are probably using too high of temperature for it. Green tea should be steeped at around 85 degrees celsius. Brewing it at black tea temperatures will cause it to be astringent and bitter. Personally I find the tea used in tea bags to be really low quality, so if you want some good green tea i recommend loose leaf like sencha or longjing. Brew them at 85C and enjoy :)
I started eating eggs this year. All my life, I hated the idea of eggs. I didn’t like the way they smelled, tasted, but looked, but through college I finally gave them a fair chance, and let me say I have never felt better. Eating eggs in the morning has made me lose weight, feel better, get more nutrition, and the journey I took after I started eating them really is what introduced me to your channel. I started eating many other things too, but this has got to be the biggest change.
thanks to your videos i started incorporating canned tuna and liver into my diet on a regular basis. of course with both of those foods you CAN eat too much, but i make sure to not surpass about 2 meals a week built around those two meats. liver has quickly become one of my favourite meats ever since I learned how to cook it. i always loved tuna but the low price combined with my newfound understanding of the health benefits has lead me to make the conscious decision to buy it more often
Interesting your take on teas. Personally I find the taste of black tea to be generally not good, and much prefer the taste of green tea. This divergence could also be related to others like my dislike for the taste and smell of garlic and onion though. As always, good job on this video-really informative. Keep it up!
I swapped cooking my eggs in butter to ghee, and it was amazing. I can keep it simple with a bit of heavy cream, salt, pepper, and ghee, or doll it up with some added turmeric, paprika, and celery salt over regular salt. I've started using ghee in my ramen noodles with garlic and onion powder and maybe a bit of chicken bouillon for extra flavor and broth; I've found that I enjoy them more because it's so satisfying and fulfilling to me. Going into 2024, I'm looking forward to eating more of the foods listed here, especially mushrooms, as well as a few others in your ranked videos...that I'll now be binging, lol. Thanks for this!! 💙
I started cooking a lot with Avocado oil. It can take high heat unlike Olive oil, and it’s high in Monounsaturated fats for hormone production. It’s also got a lot of Oleic acid and it’s a very good neutral oil, which means it doesn’t mess with the flavor of whatever you cook in it. You can basically use it for anything and it’s pretty healthy.
Sprouts. Just a word on cooking things to aleviate the phytic acid content and make nutrients more available. Huge subject! The anti inflamatory choices are very interesting too especialy for peri/menopausal women. Or anyone who tends to bloat and suffer joint pain. You are awesome!
I buy raw nuts, soak them for various times and then dry them in a food processor dryer at at under. 115 degrees. I store them in the freezer. Soaking gets rid of tannins and other stuff
Haha I see you too are a man of culture. I also discovered the wraps a couple of years ago. It's so practical and you don't need to consume as much carbs/bread this way.
I started eating bell peppers this year. For a while I thought they were inferior to onions in flavor and texture, but your videos helped me to see what nutrients they provide that onions do not.
I loved the video and couldn't agree more with your additions this year, well done. I however will say that those garlic numbers need work, most nights I use a half bulb of Music Garlic and love every minute of it. On onions you should join the cult of the Pickled Red Onion especially if you are doing tacos often. As for my own addition this year, though somewhat controversial, just plain Whole Milk. I was looking for a low cost alternative to Protein bars, as eating more than one a day gets expensive, and realized that 12oz of Whole Milk has almost the exact same stats as the bars I was eating. Now I routinely pour myself a glass of milk for a quick 12g of protein, or more frequently ferment it into Kiefer or yogurt of which I have both daily. I just picked up a Ninja Creami and will likely transition to Protein Ice cream for my nightly sweet treat so 2023 has been the year of the cow for me.
I really enjoy your videos and this style is super helpfully. I have learned a lot from you. My problem comes from a lack of motivation and time. My life has been utter chaos for nearly two years, so I have prioritized sleep and mental wellbeing over physical. Hopefully next year will be better and I can adjust my focus.
I liked this video. Your previous videos were valuable sources of information and a good way to compare food articles. And I watched several of them. I did skip through some clips, and others i only watched partly. This video however had a personal touch where I got insight into your personal choices and why you chose that way. It's easy to make a diet plan that is decently balanced when you have all the datapoints. But it's not so easy to follow it for months on end. This clip lets me observe you on the same path.
I’ve gotten really into berries and capsicums this year. Ive started eating mushrooms, eggplant, dates, and zucchini, and I generally eat a lot more fruit and veggies now.
I’ve been putting basil seeds in water and drinking it regularly and have noticed better bowel movements (got rid of constipation real quick) but have yet to see it’s effect in weight loss and skin improvement, but it’s definitely worth a try.
I started eating Natto on my morning toast. That K2 content is amazing. Avocado toast is too expensive and has nutrients I can find so many other places to have more than rarely I started eating vidalia onions in late 2023. I can’t eat other onions raw they must be cooked. or it gives me sensory issues. But my husband loves all onions - and often wants them both raw & cooked depending on what we’re eating. I learned from him I can eat vidalia onions raw and it tastes wonderful; I shouldn’t have been so stubborn and tried it sooner like he kept suggesting. I still eat other onions cooked but now about half the time when I eat cooked onions I reach for the Vidalias. They made me eat onion more often since now I have an onion I can eat raw. I also recommend trying out ghee if you love butter!
Instead of tea you could go for Yerba mate, absolutely insane source of energy and plenty of other goods, I started drinking it because somehow after taking care of my health my entire life my digestive system started to shut down all of the sudden but with yerba mate i'm starting to feel great again, each morning I'll drink plenty until i'm satisfied coming fresh from the gym
Thanks Talon - Happy New Year! 've started including a lot more sprouts. I do a mixture of broccoli, radish and alfalfa. I've been surprised at how easy it is once you get in the groove and they add a lot of flavor to my salads without any slicing. I've also switched from coffee to green tea due to stomach issues with coffee. I also tend to have some Sleepytime tea most evenings. I also eat shrimp (not fried) often.
Speaking of mushrooms, a Mushroom tier list could be interesting.
I been eating like a million Lion's Mane mushrooms lately. I'd love to know if it's actually doing me any good.
Im up 4 that as well, personally; i use Oyster Mushrooms on every meal since i suffer from IBS and those are seriously low fodmap and pallatable; but i wont to try Lions Mane and Chaga for their benefits though

Pigs sweat inside their body and their sweat doesn't exit the body so all of that toxic waste goes in your mouth
If you are more in the eastern U.S. seek out Greek yogurt from the brand Cabot, and get the 10% milk fat. It has 25% rda for Vit D-3, which is natural, not fortified. Cabot is based out of Vermont, it's cheeses are excellent too. I'm in TN so it's available at Walmart and a few other stores, but when I was in TX last week, they didn't have it at that Walmart or anywhere.
@@joshuacarrillo3078any evidence for raw milk being healthier and cholesterol being healthy?
I started including a lot of green beans in my diet these pass few months. I also started to include more onions in basically EVERY food I'm making, including stir fries, beans, rice and beans, cornmeal, etc.
I have issues with most vegetables due to a sensory processing disorder, but I finally got around to desensitizing myself to zucchini this year! It’s been a great addition to my diet since it’s relatively cheap and nutritious. I might try to work on mushrooms eventually, but they’re a sensory nightmare for me, so I can only eat very small ones mixed in with other stuff. I’ve also been attempting to eat salads that come with other meals at restaurants lol
You might want to try dried mushroom powder - can just add it to soups/sauces. There are actually quite a few vegetables available in powder form. I know for me there are some fruits and veggies I can eat cooked, some that are better raw and some I will never try again no matter how they are prepared. I also like some pickled.
There's no way that's a real thing.
@@lunar1227 Think of it like crossed wires. They essentially have either pain or extremely distasteful sensory perceptions when eating certain textures. An uncomfortable example of what it can be like is rubbing cotton or aluminum foil on your teeth.
I love this video! Earlier this year (January/ February) I really started paying more attention to my diet now that I've been living on my own for a few years. After making choices to add or replace certain foods in my diet I started noticing, after only a month or so, how much better I was starting to feel. I even started to hit the gym more often niw that I had the energy and I'm already starting to see progress! I couldn't have done this without your help!
Furthermore your videos helped me find a new love I hadn't known before. I'm a first years Chemistry student and started studying Food and Pharmaceuticals, after finding out that Chemical Forensic Research wasn't my cup of tea. Thank you for inadvertently helping me find this path, I'm loving the new study!
your videos turned foods/nutrition into a game for me, i love trying out new stuff and seeing where it is in the rankings
A few comments. Almonds, the oxalates are mostly on the skin. You can remove it or Blanche them to reduce it. You can also take calcium at a different time to bind it for removal.
Broccoli, for sulfirafane benefits you should combine it with ground mustard seed.
Butter for cooking. Butter has a low smoke point as does olive oil. Try coconut oil, its high smoke point combined with the medium chain triglycerides and lower long chain triglycerides makes it a winner. Add butter after you cook food to benifit from small chain triglycerides.
So much respect for the way his views are evolving the more he learns & he's not afraid to talk about it. ❤
I’ve added heaps thanks to your list lol. Started eating Sugar Snap Peas and capsicum as a mid afternoon snack. Chard cooked with garlic and onion as a dinner side dish. Sesame seeds and avo in lunch salads. Almonds and bananas in my shakes. Eggs and Greek yogurt in my French toast. Even my son has burritos every morning for brekky full of veg and lean meats with mozarella and salsa - and it’s been a great way to add veg in his diet. Thanks for your vids!!
Green tea is actually really tasty, it just depends where you get it. Stores are not tasty, but in my country we have lots of stores with actual tea, sold in dried leaves, and those are the best. And so many flavours, and yes, they are natural
Would love a tea tier list ❤ there are so many of them either caffeinated or not caffeinated
Twinnings English Breakfast s tier.
Everything else F.
The whole population of the UK South of the Watford Gap.
I second the tea tier list proposal. So many teas! So little time to drink them all !!!!
I’ve started eating a lot more squash this year. Mostly in an attempt to eat foods that are exclusively in season throughout the year but let me tell you, I never knew the culinary universe that opens up when adding squash to your diet. I think it should be a much more regular part of food life
Love this channel and your videos Talon!
Your videos have led me to making a good amount of changes to my diet, very much for the better.
Have you thought about doing a video on actual full meals and recipes? Rather than just on individual ingredients. I think that would make a great video. You could do a video for breakfast ideas, then lunch, snacks and evening meals.
Cucumbers! I ate only pickles and use to pick cukes out of my salad. Because they’re easy to grow and full of water and some nutrients I made myself eat them. Now I love them. Same with radishes.
Love the change up in the video. This got me thinking about what small changes I can make for 2024🎉
I know I don’t like or comment enough but your videos really are a game changer and a simplifier in so many ways. Thank you.
Definitely added more broccoli, almonds, walnuts, flax seeds and chia seeds to my diet thanks to you, and I'm feeling great !
Is that lego X
Loved your videos this year! I feel the tortilla's so hard, it's just too convenient to be able to wrap up whatever shape, viscosity, or flavor palette of food in a wrap so it's neat and compact. I'd be interested for your take on a tier list of the gourmet mushrooms becoming more popular recently; I've been growing Lion's Mane and Blue Oysters at my apartment for a while now and would be interested to see how they compare to Portabello's or others
Love the videos and your community. Please keep doing videos like this!!
i started eating sardines twice a week this year, a lot more milk and dosa (south indian savoury fermented crepes)
Oh yes, in my country we eat garlic cloves along with soups. As a kid we used to snack on them (on weekends in which I wasn't outside, bc garlic breath)
I love garlic
watched a couple videos of you and i have to say i might change my eating habits from unhealthy to healthy, quite motivating to know whats good for you and whats not
Brussel Sprouts are delicious when grilled or sauteed with butter, topped with Parmesan, Onion powder and Garlic powder.
I started adding frozen veggie mixes to my diet. I already ate a lot of veggies before this addition, but in stressful times, when i had hardly any time or motivation to cook, i would lack a lot of nutrients. Now i just throw them in whatever lazy meal I'm making and even when it's just instant ramen or a couple of eggs for dinner, it at least has some more nutrients.
Can you do a Meals Tier list. You could do a separate list for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Hi! I just really wanted to thank you for your videos. Today was a stressful day at at work. So, as per usual, at the evening, i went in a shop craving for a dessert. Quite often, I'd take a cake or a pack of something covered in chocolate. But today i glanced at a kiwi and remembered that you've put in the highest tier. So I've bought kiwi and strawberry and treated myself with a fruit salad! And it made me so happy! Not only as a sugar boost, but as a heathy choice I've made for my wellbeing. Hope it becomes a habit. Maybe it's silly, yet you're actually inspiring me. So thank you 🙏
Great video as always Talon. I definitely prefer your more educational style videos, but it's definitely refreshing to get to know your personal habits a bit better
Before you completely give up on green tea, may I suggest (if you haven't done so already) that you try brewing it between 70-75 C (158-167 F). Usually this means putting the kettle on, pouring your mug as soon as the kettle's done, then waiting about 5 min before adding your teabag. A lot of people don't know that brewing your tea at an excessively hot temp (>80C) will make it bitter...this is why homemade green teas, or those purchased at cafes, will be very bitter but the ones served at asian restaurants are generally mild and pleasant.
Also, surprised that butter made the list. I understand it given the caveat that you pair it with lean animal proteins and only have maybe 5-10g at a time, but I definitely didn't expect it to make a "top 10"-style video given the vast amounts of research into the links between saturated fats, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease risk. Proof that moderation is key!
Im so glad this channel got recommaned in my homepage 😊. I really really love the list you do in nutrions and explaining them, please dont stop posting 🙏
I have begun eating more beans and mushrooms; they're in every meal prep. There are a fair number of benefits to them while providing good quantities of fiber, yet also with a nice savory flavor. I started consuming raw kombucha too, although the benefits of that are debated; I just enjoy it.
Oh my gosh, thank you thank you thank you for reminding me about my grandmas. Awesome broccoli recipe. I used to bring it to parties very inexpensive. Very easy to make and very very healthy. It’s got an awesome story behind it. I’m going out again. I bring food into vents broccoli, baby it’s all about my grandma‘s recipe for broccoli.
The editing is always so clean dude. Makes it so satisfying to learn! Just curious, where do you get the clip art you use in the vids?
Also try shrimp soup.
Shrimp, some veggie/wok mix, a bit of onion, a bit of tomato paste, cayenne, salt and potatoes if you want. Also filling. You can make it 4lbs for relatively low kcal
This year I started food prepping Sundays. A fruit snack mix with 5 or so different fruits. A vegetable lentil stew with spinach and beans. Hummus. Sardines. Mixed nuts with walnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, cashews... And kombucha along with other fermented products like Kimchi.
In my stir fry ginger, garlic, mangetout, red onion, pak Choi, curly kale, red or yellow pepper, (either a fresh chilli or dried one with tomato puree, green cardamom, turmeric, a tad more ginger and garlic blitz as the sauce)chestnut mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms with either diced chicken or chickpeas….and occasionally ribboned carrots..
Sauerkraut, kefir, mushrooms, avocados, ginger. Unsweetened iced black tea, matcha tea, various herbal teas (green, mint, chamomile, white, hibiscus, dandelion root).
Chamomile ftw! I'll drink a cup almost every day!
Really glad you mentioned butter! I've studied seed oils and it's certainly true that most aren't good to cook with. Butter, ghee, olive oil, coconut oil, tallow, are all amazing alternative options and yes butter makes eggs so much tastier!
Frying eggs in coconut oil is also really good👌
Also if you've had bad experiences with green tea that for a few reasons. 1) you probably used tea bags(these use very low quality tea) 2) you probably used too high temperature(higher temps on green tea bring out more butter compounds, these bitter compounds are pretty healthy so take that how you want) 3) you probably steeped it for too long(similar to number 2, the longer you steep the more bitter it gets and the worse it gets). If you want good green tea(or just good tea's in general) get into loose leaf or gong fu style of tea brewing. I just got into it and it's changed my life already! If you still wanna use tea bags I've found pukka supreme matcha green tea is really good. You can steep at basically boiling water and it doesn't get overly bitter like most green teas will. So it's a good option when you just need tea not he go!
for me its been broccoli, mussels and many spices, specially cinnamon thanks to one of your vids starting adding it and made me wanna try more spices now really into it like how some go with everything and others are more of the secret mojo of certain dishes
I eat greek youghurt with 5-6 types of seeds and kernels with 2 types of berries on top for breakfast. At least every second day i drink Gazpacho (tomato, red bellpepper, garlic, chili, olive oil, balsemico and salt all blended together.
Trust me you haven't tried good green tea yet. Probably just some disgusting bagged tea. When it comes to tea you should always buy loose tea, at a special tea shop. Try Gyrokuro once and you will change your mind on green tea.
I remember it tasting good as a kid. So maybe I do need to just try a better quality one. Later. I still can't get that taste out of my mouth
@@Talon_Fitness green tea is not for everyone, has a very controversial taste
nothing wrong with black tea
@@Talon_Fitnessit's different to black tea, you can't let it brew long at all, steep a good quality one for just a minute and then see how you like it, save the leaves and steep them again for a second cup, it will be different to the first.. plenty of videos to be found about tea ofc
@@Talon_Fitness Matcha. I grew up on green tea, but I bought a matcha set and gave myself that ritual. I also collect teas of all types. But I drink a cup or 2 of matcha everyday, along with other loose leaf and herbal teas through out the day. Adiago teas has lovely flavored matcha and Nio tea has a great channel all about green teas and sells high grade matchas and green teas.
@Talon_Fitness you should try yerba mate, it can by brew in french press
you just drink grean tea in bags, grinding green tea makes it bitter, try some chinese green tea (not sencha) in spring or maybe even go further and try oolong, white tea or puer
Ghee and sourdough have been my big new additions and i am bot going back!
These videos are very funny. The icon for 'focus' is an archery target 🤣🤣🤣
love this because it gives a more "real world" example of how the nutrition all fits together. Still hoping for that "spices" tier list
we need a supplement tier list! ranked by how difficult it is to include each micronutrient in an average diet, cost, etc.
I started eating zucchini. I have a hard time eating vegetables but tried incorporating more and found the zucchini to be so versatile. Before I only had it once as zoodles and hated it. But it works so well in scrambled eggs with cottage or feta cheese and bell pepper, also pairs very well with tomatoes of any kind and tastes very good in potato soup and also in stir-fries. Now it‘s one of my kitchen rotation staples!
I also added Greek yogurt. It‘s a fast and easy breakfast paired with almond butter, flaxseed oil, granola or chia seeds and berries or banana.
My next step would be healthy dinners as I struggle with those
So glad to have you back before 2024 starts. Happy new years Mr Talon 🎉❤
Im actually glad you talked about mushrooms even if it was just briefly. Mushroom tierlist would be awesome though!
I've started making my own bread at home. I like to drizzle olive oil and seasoning on it and spread some humus over it.
that taco obsession is so real. earlier this year i started making breakfast tacos almost every weekend because they were just so amazing
I added pak-choi, delicious with some rice and beef stripes, throw in a pan, some soy sauce and it's delicious, add other veggies like mushrooms for versatility. I added curry! Needless to say my body can't take it but it's so yummy and healthy! Added sweet potato, a super food! Added pumpkin, cabbage, more veggies overall
No wonder I've been finding you so relatable, this video is like a bingo card of what I am already doing :D.
Recommendation : pan-fried eggs fit perfectly in a tortilla and that is one of my go-to 5 min meals
Since a couple of months I'm blessed with a new food service at work. There are plenty of soup, fresh salad bar + hot bar choices and you can make the weirdest combinations because you pay per weight. Just having shrimp and mushrooms for lunch for instance is possible but having four different hot vegetable dishes combined too. I rarely snack in the evening now.
Thing I need to make more: smashed cucumber. It's just cucumber, raw garlic, soy sauce, and black vinegar.
I've been working on eating more walnuts and more beans/lentils. I'm experimenting with my rice mixes white, brown, purple rice and try adding in millet and lentils.
A couple of things I spotted in this video:
1. Allicin is a bit tricky to obtain, it depends how you prepare the garlic.
2. You are mixing up cashew with the cashew seed (which a lot of people think it is a nut). Cashew is an edible fruit.
My dad is allergic to fish so growing up we never had any seafood except for shellfish, whoch he could eat. But since moving out ive grown to really enjoy salmon, its delicious and incredibly healthy while still being fairly low calorie. Makes me want to try other seafoods too!
I started eating Kimchi, Kefir, a wide variety of cheeses and raw garlic this year. Maybe more importantly are the foods I stopped eating. Refined Carbs mainly so breakfast cereals, all supermarket bread and white rice.
Hey talon, if green tea is disgusting to you, you are probably using too high of temperature for it. Green tea should be steeped at around 85 degrees celsius. Brewing it at black tea temperatures will cause it to be astringent and bitter.
Personally I find the tea used in tea bags to be really low quality, so if you want some good green tea i recommend loose leaf like sencha or longjing. Brew them at 85C and enjoy :)
I started eating eggs this year. All my life, I hated the idea of eggs. I didn’t like the way they smelled, tasted, but looked, but through college I finally gave them a fair chance, and let me say I have never felt better. Eating eggs in the morning has made me lose weight, feel better, get more nutrition, and the journey I took after I started eating them really is what introduced me to your channel. I started eating many other things too, but this has got to be the biggest change.
I started to regularly eat pineapples and pomegranates this year.
Thank you! I found this video very helpful! 😊
thanks to your videos i started incorporating canned tuna and liver into my diet on a regular basis. of course with both of those foods you CAN eat too much, but i make sure to not surpass about 2 meals a week built around those two meats. liver has quickly become one of my favourite meats ever since I learned how to cook it. i always loved tuna but the low price combined with my newfound understanding of the health benefits has lead me to make the conscious decision to buy it more often
Oatmeal, greek yogurt, mushrooms, onion, FRESH GARLIC, cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, russet potatoes!
Interesting your take on teas. Personally I find the taste of black tea to be generally not good, and much prefer the taste of green tea. This divergence could also be related to others like my dislike for the taste and smell of garlic and onion though. As always, good job on this video-really informative. Keep it up!
I put raw onion, garlic and jalapeño on virtually everything I eat. I never get sick and feel great. Looking to incorporate carrots into the mix.
I swapped cooking my eggs in butter to ghee, and it was amazing. I can keep it simple with a bit of heavy cream, salt, pepper, and ghee, or doll it up with some added turmeric, paprika, and celery salt over regular salt. I've started using ghee in my ramen noodles with garlic and onion powder and maybe a bit of chicken bouillon for extra flavor and broth; I've found that I enjoy them more because it's so satisfying and fulfilling to me. Going into 2024, I'm looking forward to eating more of the foods listed here, especially mushrooms, as well as a few others in your ranked videos...that I'll now be binging, lol. Thanks for this!! 💙
Love that I found this channel! This might not be in your forte, but a video about organic vs non-organic would be super interesting.
As an avid garlic lover, I highly recommend adding roasted garlic to homemade hummus. So good!
I started cooking a lot with Avocado oil. It can take high heat unlike Olive oil, and it’s high in Monounsaturated fats for hormone production.
It’s also got a lot of Oleic acid and it’s a very good neutral oil, which means it doesn’t mess with the flavor of whatever you cook in it. You can basically use it for anything and it’s pretty healthy.
Thanks for the mushroom insights -
2 supermarket mushrooms (twice a day) make me happier
topped up with about 10 red or black grapes once a day.
Sprouts. Just a word on cooking things to aleviate the phytic acid content and make nutrients more available. Huge subject! The anti inflamatory choices are very interesting too especialy for peri/menopausal women. Or anyone who tends to bloat and suffer joint pain. You are awesome!
I buy raw nuts, soak them for various times and then dry them in a food processor dryer at at under. 115 degrees. I store them in the freezer. Soaking gets rid of tannins and other stuff
Haha I see you too are a man of culture. I also discovered the wraps a couple of years ago. It's so practical and you don't need to consume as much carbs/bread this way.
Dude I fucken LOVED❤️💕 this new style of video. Keep on man!!!!😎
I started eating bell peppers this year. For a while I thought they were inferior to onions in flavor and texture, but your videos helped me to see what nutrients they provide that onions do not.
I loved the video and couldn't agree more with your additions this year, well done. I however will say that those garlic numbers need work, most nights I use a half bulb of Music Garlic and love every minute of it. On onions you should join the cult of the Pickled Red Onion especially if you are doing tacos often.
As for my own addition this year, though somewhat controversial, just plain Whole Milk. I was looking for a low cost alternative to Protein bars, as eating more than one a day gets expensive, and realized that 12oz of Whole Milk has almost the exact same stats as the bars I was eating. Now I routinely pour myself a glass of milk for a quick 12g of protein, or more frequently ferment it into Kiefer or yogurt of which I have both daily. I just picked up a Ninja Creami and will likely transition to Protein Ice cream for my nightly sweet treat so 2023 has been the year of the cow for me.
Stir fry is the way to go. Put literally everything in a stir fry and it tastes amazing
I really enjoy your videos and this style is super helpfully. I have learned a lot from you. My problem comes from a lack of motivation and time. My life has been utter chaos for nearly two years, so I have prioritized sleep and mental wellbeing over physical. Hopefully next year will be better and I can adjust my focus.
I liked this video. Your previous videos were valuable sources of information and a good way to compare food articles. And I watched several of them.
I did skip through some clips, and others i only watched partly.
This video however had a personal touch where I got insight into your personal choices and why you chose that way.
It's easy to make a diet plan that is decently balanced when you have all the datapoints. But it's not so easy to follow it for months on end. This clip lets me observe you on the same path.
I’ve gotten really into berries and capsicums this year. Ive started eating mushrooms, eggplant, dates, and zucchini, and I generally eat a lot more fruit and veggies now.
I’ve been putting basil seeds in water and drinking it regularly and have noticed better bowel movements (got rid of constipation real quick) but have yet to see it’s effect in weight loss and skin improvement, but it’s definitely worth a try.
I started eating Natto on my morning toast. That K2 content is amazing. Avocado toast is too expensive and has nutrients I can find so many other places to have more than rarely
I started eating vidalia onions in late 2023. I can’t eat other onions raw they must be cooked. or it gives me sensory issues. But my husband loves all onions - and often wants them both raw & cooked depending on what we’re eating. I learned from him I can eat vidalia onions raw and it tastes wonderful;
I shouldn’t have been so stubborn and tried it sooner like he kept suggesting. I still eat other onions cooked but now about half the time when I eat cooked onions I reach for the Vidalias. They made me eat onion more often since now I have an onion I can eat raw.
I also recommend trying out ghee if you love butter!
Instead of tea you could go for Yerba mate, absolutely insane source of energy and plenty of other goods, I started drinking it because somehow after taking care of my health my entire life my digestive system started to shut down all of the sudden but with yerba mate i'm starting to feel great again, each morning I'll drink plenty until i'm satisfied coming fresh from the gym
The return of the king
Thanks Talon - Happy New Year! 've started including a lot more sprouts. I do a mixture of broccoli, radish and alfalfa. I've been surprised at how easy it is once you get in the groove and they add a lot of flavor to my salads without any slicing. I've also switched from coffee to green tea due to stomach issues with coffee. I also tend to have some Sleepytime tea most evenings. I also eat shrimp (not fried) often.
