  1. Quinoa is super underrated. You can throw it with some chicken breast and some sautéed veggies with the juices left of them as a sauce. YUM.

  2. I don't know anyone who's eating 100g of spirulina in a serving or even in a week…a 160g tin of tuna packs about 43g of protein which is about 2 scoops of most protein powders, it's cheap, it tastes good, and it's not a ridiculous amount to eat in a sitting

  3. Why is everybody sleeping on greek yogurt? If you buy the high protein stuff it's 25g protein in 3/4 of a cup put some local honey on it and you've got a great snack.

  4. Hi Jeff love you work so encouraging. I would love to us your RX probucts. Is there s awsy i can get it in South-Africa or something as good as yours? So many probucts not sure what to take. Please help. Thanks send my regards to Jessie. Peace out.

  5. Just started watching and following you a couple of weeks ago, and really love your helpful and effective videos.
    I m over 50, and a hard gainer. Only 66-67kgs at 177cm. All my friends weigh more, even when they are shorter. Started taking mass gainers to add those calories and put on some weight and increased my waist from 31.5“ to 33". The thing is too much sugar is definitely detrimental, barring poisonous. So should I choose a gainer with more saturated fat and very low on sugars?

  6. Being from India and a vegetarian I cannot live without cottage cheese. Maybe try to make it the indian way. Loads of vids on youtube. It's not sour at all and and a pinch of masala and it's the best snack.

  7. Everything is relevant

    High protein is good for everyone BUT the carbs in pasta, peas, cheese are HORRIBLE for diabetics so avoid them.

    One day I Suddenly found I was a diabetic with a glucose over 400 – – For TWO MONTHS … A1C = 12

    I was 275lbs and experiencing high bad stress plus bad food and no exercise.

    I cut out ALL carbs and ALL sugars as much as humanly possible.
    No milk, pasta etc but people kept telling me I needed greens so I like peas and ate peas.
    Found out peas are carbs when my sugar went up ALOT. Corn is also carbs.

    I also cut out all sports drinks, sodas etc and drank 99% water.

    I was put on 2,000 mg a day of Metformin which drained my B12 etc and caused stomach problems which I addressed by taking 500mg metformin every 4 hrs in the middle of a healthy size meal.

    Within months I went from 275 to 230 and A1C from 12 to 5.2 glucose 112

    High protein diet and exercise mostly chicken, tuna and fish.
    For workout replenishment = Pickles/pickle – Wonder juice – This stuff works unlike gatorade etc sports drinks which are loaded with sugars

    Vitamins and mineral supps = K2 /D3, B12, B6, B3, Magnesium Malate eventually switching to Mag Threonate.

    I got injured and stopped working out for a while which was bad but unavoidable and after 2yrs have started slowly working out again

    I do cheat some with food now BUT because I still focus on protein ls my weight is 220 and my A1C is still 5. I haven’t taken any diabetic meds for over a year or more.

    We’ve all been brainwashed to eat carbs and junk especially milk and cereal for breakfast.

    We can still be happy and throw in some junk every now and then but we really are what we eat.

    Thanks for your videos. Your exercises etc helped me heal when the VA was useless.

  8. A lot of people say that they don't like quinoa, but it's because the quinoa is cooked plain. I usually add cumin, cayenne pepper, some sea salt and extra virgin olive oil which gives it a great taste on its own! Then, you can have it with the lentils, spinach, or a wide variety of vegetables or legumes to go along with it for a hardier meal!

  9. I usually have a cup of steel cut oatmeal with raw pumpkin seeds or raw almonds, cinnamon and a little maple syrup. At times, I will add a tablespoon of chia seeds with the oatmeal.

  10. You can really pack a real punch when you have quinoa with peas, lentils, chickpeas, or any kind of legumes, with some spinach! Unfortunately, the dairy products also promote inflammation!
