I’m a few years older than you folks but I ate the same terrible foods growing up, however as kids we didn’t have a choice, we ate what my Mom had-canned soup, cold cuts, lots of fried potatoes and chicken, hot dogs, potato chips, and later in college came the fast food. OMG tons of it. I recall playing basketball at the gym for 3-4 hours then getting a Big Mac, a Quarter Pounder, fries and a hot apple pie for lunch. Fortunately in college I also read a little and took a health class and began incrementally changing my diet. Now both my wife and I eat healthier ( like you two) but there’s definitely room for improvement: Less wine, store cookies, cereals, gold fish crackers, and a few other things. Your video is encouraging and has provided some ideas.😊
Cut that back to once a day and you might have a good plan in place! I can’t found the number of quarter pounders I had over the years. So grateful I don’t eat them anymore.
I am very happy you share this very important information that will impact the health of many people, preventing many diseases an be healthy in retirement. We need also exercise to be in good health. Thank you and God bless you.
Greetings from Hong Kong! ❤ Live seafood here is abundant and easily accessible. There’s a big variety of them in all the local wet markets and some supermarkets. When the seafood is live, it only requires very simple cooking methods, like steaming or poaching. That’s why seafood is one of the major sources of protein here even though it’s rather costly.
Greetings to you in Hong Kong! ❤ That sounds amazing-having access to such fresh, live seafood must be a real treat! Steaming and poaching are such wonderful ways to highlight the natural flavors. It’s fascinating to hear how seafood plays such an important role in your diet. Thank you for sharing this insight-it makes us want to visit a Hong Kong wet market someday!
@ Hahaha, there’re a lot more to see than just wet markets though they’re quite impressive to most foreigners. My husband (retired last year) and I will be your guide you come. 😎
Greetings from San Francisco. Thank you for sharing. I like your comments, especially Jody's eating habits, which sound a lot healthy. Mark! You got to thanks your wife for keeping you live longer 😅.
Great video! I just finished reading The Great Cholesterol Myth and it was eye opening to see how sugar is the culprit, not fat (apart from trans fat and Omega6). The sugar council shutdown the studies that showed sugar was the issue 🤬 I love cooking dishes from The Mediterranean Dish on UA-cam 👍
Hey, in the context of not going cold turkey: make homemade chocolate chip cookies and then you can substitute half the sugar with unsweetened apple sauce Also add coconut and oats instead of some of the AP flour and about half the chocolate chips
Great Video ! Thanks for the heads-up. Could you plz share some tips on Chocolates versus dark Chocolates.Does it fall under the Sugar rush category. Is dark chocolate good for the heart.
I will look deeper into this but have read a small piece of dark chocolate each day is good for you. Maybe it's a story I like to tell myself! But I will dig deeper
I thought Panko crumbs were made from white bread yet only a small amount is usually only needed and way better than KFC! You have given us a lot of encouragement to stop eating junk.
So glad to hear you feel encouraged to make healthier choices-it’s all about small steps that make a big difference. Thanks for sharing, and here’s to less junk and more delicious, mindful meals!
I make my own ice cream in my Little Oscar mini food processor. I will add 1 cup frozen organic fruit (berries, peaches or mangoes) pour 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream with 1 T honey. It tastes so good and you control the ingredients…unlike store bought which often have flavor additives.
BK once a month. Whopper with cheese, fries, chocolate shake. That's my out of the ordinary, every day cheat day and reminds of my youthful days. I know it's not good but, it's oh so good!!!
Everything in moderation. I grew up eating KFC at least once a week. I slowly weaned myself off completely and if I were to have it today I'm sure I would get sick to my stomach. It went from comfort food to uncomfortable food.
I've been eating an animal based diet for the past three years and my health has improved a lot. My arthritis flairs when I have grains and certain vegetables. Also, I've lost 70 pounds. I think diet is definitely different for everyone. But, definitely steer clear of all this processed junk. No one needs a pop tart lol
That’s amazing-congratulations on improving your health and losing 70 pounds! 😊 It’s so true that diet needs to be personalized for everyone, but steering clear of processed junk is great advice for all. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your journey!
One thing I should mention. Protein is good but it’s better to stick to plant based protein rather animal protein because consuming too much animal protein will cause heart and cardiovascular disease and cancers and obesity. Not to say that eggs, fish, chicken, salmon, and dairy products are bad for you, just try to avoid it completely or consume less if possible. So many people are overweight these days just consuming the wrong type of foods because they aren’t educated on how to eat healthy.
I eat grass fed red meat and butter daily and I feel great. I see it as our ancestral food, our genes completely adapted to it over 2 million years. Then home made L. Reuteri yoghurt with berries and wheat germ. Nattō, pumpkin seeds, walnut, hemp. Cod liver in own oil, a few herring. I avoid industrial food, seed oils, margerine, sugar, refined carbs, also many vegetables, all legumes and sweet fruit. I prepare my own electrolyte with potassium, magnesium, sodium, iodine, lithium. And then minerals and vitamins, omega 3 and recently glycine, taurine, NAC, nattokinase.
Eye-opening video! Motivated to make healthier food choices now. Thanks for the insights! 💓 - Lhiamel
@EvanCarmichael Wow You are here! Hello!!
We work with @evancarmichael. He and his team are so helpful
You're so welcome!
Great video. A cardiologist shared with me your ideal body weight is what you weighed when you were 18 years old. Simple message to live by.
Thanks for sharing!!
They say BMI is not the gold stand but for me personally it's directly proportional to my waistline.

Get airfyer put sweet potatoes or regular potatoes in the air fryer or vegetables.
Yes we have done that too.

Sounds great! I’m not the best baker but may give this a try. Right now I’m trying to have just a few each week as a treat.

Sounds great!
Organic butter is better or plant based butter. I been eating this way for 3 years and I feel better
We use plant based as well
When it comes to alcohol moderation is important.....I enjoy one before dinner. Always make my own soups. Ravioli high in sodium.
Good strategy. Pay attention to how you feel, that is key

We only buy single ingredient foods except bread which we buy from the local bakery.
That’s such a great idea
Oat meal is very high in carbs
I have heard that!
I eat organic sourdough bread . People still eat wonder bread . I eat one slice bread
I grew up on Wonder bread. Bologna sandwiches. Not any more!

I only eat grass fed beef
Us too. And we only eat beef 2 times a month.

Check out the sodium in any soda!😮
Yes. Not much good in soda
Trans fats have been phased out of foods per government policy. So some foods have small amounts naturally mostly animal sourced foods
Good to know. Thank you
I can live without animal products, alcohol and tobacco. It’s no sacrifice to live healthy.
Good for you. Thank you for sharing
Please do a video on your chicken noodle soup 🥣😋
I will I just started doing some reels on Instagram on my cooking and I want to do some UA-cam videos on cooking too.
My favorite salad dressing is seasoned rice vinegar
We will have to try that. Thank you
Fast food is also bad for your wallet as well
Yes for sure
Is there actually ANYTHING you don't contradict your husband about? You always put your husband down and contradict what he says...poor man!
I love Jody deeply and yes she likes to challenge and push back. It makes me a deeper thinker and a better person.
Buy plain add your own fruit 🍌
Yup. Best idea!
Dietary propaganda.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this
