I just now realized I didn't put any *before* pics and you know what, that's fine and in total alignment with the thought process in this video. As I said, I'm not a huge fan of the whole 😟 before 😞 and 🤪 AFTER 🤗 concept. I've always been fine with how I look bc I realized early on that what we find beautiful is all relative to the generation we grow up in anyway. Nonetheless, after the vegan meal plan, I did feel a whole lot stronger (and that felt good!)! I guess the entire point of what I'm writing is: I didn't *not* feel good before, but I felt *even better* after.
I 100% recommend a rice cooker for your rice. Less plastic waste and it's dead simple: pour in half a cup of rice, a cup of water, press the button. THAT'S IT. No cleanup, it's all dishwasher safe, no sticky pans or having to babysit boiling water. As a lazy person, I love it. Damn I feel like an infomercial writing this but for real it's amazing.
When you said to wash the beans... are we all going to forget about your iconic "bean soup with nugget chunks" recipe from 2 years ago? 😂😂😂 I'm so glad you learned, that's vegan ✨ character development ✨ right here!
no because this is the healthiest conversation around self worth, self acceptance, and self change that I've heard in a long time. thank u so much for this
I’m a plus size woman who started the weight loss journey literally yesterday. This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Thank you for everything you said. Especially sharing your Midwest childhood eating habits… I relate so hard. Love u king, thanks again ♥️
Honestly Damon, you’re the best UA-camr out there. Your videos have the most essence of life in them and every single time you post, I jump on my phone, make a delicious snack and switch off from the world’s bullshit by watching your video. Thank you for this chaotic yet in perfect harmony content 🤍✨
Hey Damon! Lil' tip for rice cooking, it has never failed me and it's quite the simplest way to make it - 2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice. Just bring water to a boil and add some salt and the rice. Then you just let the magic happen. Hope it helps and thanks for sharing your journey ✨
from the west coast here where everything takes the Spanish name, lol, I didn't know garbanzo beans were also called chickpeas until I was like 24 and found myself living in Kansas and wondering what the hell were these chickpeas at the store and where the hell were my garbanzo beans and humous, lol, I was a spoiled Californian when it came to food, lol (same with cilantro and coriander, and now I find myself living in France and I have to do a double take and remember "no honey, coriandre IS cilantro, it's ok honey" lol)
With the trainer you're definitely buying knowledge - I paid this price when I wanted to learn to be a better swimmer. It also gave me the confidence to swim alone as I could still hear her instruction/advice in my head.
I used to go to a luxury gym but then moved away from that town and don’t have one nearby anymore. I used to love working out, but suddenly I *cannot* motivate myself to work out in my dinky empty apartment gym. The energy of all those people around you and all the nice amenities making it feel like a ✨spa day✨…that was how I motivated myself. Luxury gyms are totally worth the expense!
Damon you're an absolute gem! Your videos always makes me laugh and feel like a hangout sesh with a friend that has a similar yet still so intriguing mind. Thank you for that:)
I am living in the UK and the grams makes so much sense because you can just pop the mixing bowl or pot on the scale instead of dirtying measuring cups. Less washing up and more precise. The tablespoon thing I think is more helpful if youre ok to eyeball a measurement. I know roughly what 1 tbsp of peanut butter is or any oil or sauce. But all peanut butter, oil and soy sauce all have different weights so would be harder to know what 15g of each looks like. Or if you want to be super precise for your snack youre going to need to use some utensil to get the peanut butter out so might as well use a tool that measures it perfectly and a scale can’t be used like that.
I started going to the gym with a meal plan and an instructor and I can relate to a lot of the thoughts in this video. My friends make fun of me and ask me why I go to the gym because I'm not fat...that's not the point, I go to feel better, not because I feel bad now
UMMM WOW why did you post this LITERALLY as I was googling recipes for wtf to do with this can of kidney beans I accidentally bought (meant to buy chickpeas). I’m all of a sudden way more excited about these beans than I was 5 min ago lol-Damon always comin thru w the life tips right when I need em!!!
The "not an all or nothing" person thing at the gym got me. Yelling at me is NOT going to make me want to workout more, it's going to make me wanna quit and never come back.
All beauty trends are toxic. But I’m glad that we are trading weights and overeating protein to cardio and good diet. My body doesn’t feel good trying to get “thick”. And genetically it didn’t go to the intended places😂 I feel and look my best when I’m intuitively eating high vibe foods. Thanks for this video!
While I generally like the way this video is presented I must add a warning based on personal experiences. When I started tracking my calories/macros and went vegan, it eventually led to anorexia nervosa. Not everyone who is vegan and tracks their food will have an eating disorder but there are some people who are prone to it. So please, proceed with caution! I am in no way saying veganism or tracking food is bad, I just want to share my experience. I suppose it's good that he plugs BetterHelp because you might want to check your mental health before trying to change your body.
Yes TY! and also let’s just point out that Veganism and Macro/ Calorie tracking do not necessarily go hand in hand! They are not synonymous. Veganism is a lifestyle and ethical philosophy:)
I'd like to go ahead and second this comment. I am a huge fan of Damon and have been for many many years and will continue to be obv! But I've recently just recovered from Anorexia Bullimia which arose through years of dieting and tracking calories/macros. It was a very difficult and scary journey, and as someone who comes from the toxic side of diet culture I'd just like to send out a cautious warning that videos like this could negatively affect many others going through the same struggle. I'm currently vegan (for moral and environmental reason) and fully believe you can be vegan without falling into disordered eating! I would just be careful when talking about limiting calories and food groups. It's important for everyone to remember that their life is more than just the shape/size of their body, you are worthy of lover and happiness regardless of physical appearance
Stay away from Betterhelp btw. They not only don’t care about you,but very bad pay for the helpers (most Importantly: they don’t care about you and will either not listen, make you pay for horrible service or tell you you have something without getting to know you) But anywho, YES your comment is important!
Damon, I really enjoy your content and I don’t follow many people on UA-cam but you are one of few people I can really relate to. Keep posting great videos 😊
how have i been training every week this year without all this knowledge!!! i needed this video, i feel i'm gonna make the most of my training now how exciting
Has Damon been creeping my watched history??? Because I’ve been watching loads of diet and fitness videos in the past 2 weeks and I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT normally hahah. Anyways was a good watch to keep me aligned with my journey for new gains and fat loss
Have you heard of PB2? It's defatted peanut butter and delicious. You can add water to it to make "regular" peanut butter or add it to smoothies or bake with it. I love regular peanut butter too, but having a low fat option is supercool too.
I loved this video so much. Start to finish, classic, brilliant, creative Damon Dominique 👏 Thanks for linking to the “why do we think other generations were stupid” video!
The Greeks had gymnasiums, gymnasium a.k.a. "The Gym" is a Greek word. I lived in Athens for 2 years ages ago and can tell you that "The Gym" is very much alive, sports there continue to have historical reverence.
Unfortunately tracking nutrients in food/labels/etc. does not actually work as most people imagine. You may be feeding your body certain nutrients but if you body does not want them it will not absorb them. Second, one bag of spinach may be 50 time more nutritious than another bag due to the soil it was grown in and if that soil had a good balance of nutrients (most are devoid of nutrients) and other factors. In our modern environment, people need to eat wayyy more calories to gain the same amount of nutrients and we would have needed to 50 years ago. Anyway, good quality whole foods are always good options.
I started my weight loss and fitness journey at the very end of March/beginning of April. First month was tennis a couple of times a week, and since May I've been going to the gym twice a week, so eight weeks in a row completed today. I see a pretty big difference already, I was about 88-89 kilos at the beginning of the process and now I'm at 82-83 kg. I have a personal trainer, and I'd like to add that even though I could technically go to the gym alone and do the things he wants me to do, the joy I get in going to the gym is because I know I have someone I can talk to and ask questions. And even after 2 months my technique on certain things is still not perfect, so if you go to a gym without any guidance please do be careful and take care of yourself. I'll also add regarding cost that I live in Poland - I personally have a steal for my trainer, it's a nice recreation center that focuses on its pools, but it has a small gym, and central European countries like Poland and Czech Republic and Slovakia have a system called Multisport which your company provides you, and many places accept this card/have this system in place - basically, I go to the gym for free, and the hourly rate of my trainer through the gym is about 15 euros an hour if you buy a 10 hour package. It's 16 or 17 an hour without the package. It's a great price, many trainers at the big gyms in Poland will ask for 25-30 euros an hour (and for Poland that's a lot of money). Basically, if you live in central Europe, and you work for an international/private company, there is no reason to not take advantage. As for my diet/food, I don't really have a diet. I eat what I want, but I noticed I stalled at about 84/85 kg for awhile, so I've been eating out less and just reducing restaurants from 3-4 times a week to once a week has made a big difference already. I never thought I'd become a gym person, but for me, having a positive person to help me push through it, and he never pushes me to the extreme, has made the experience much better and I can enjoy it more that way. The gym isn't so bad at all, once it becomes a lifestyle habit, it's easy to maintain. I appreciated the video, thanks Damon.
that last comment about bulking and cutting..... very true! young people fall into to that yoyo cycle at an early age and cause unnecessary mental and health problems... it's best to build slow and steady!! you cant rush consistency
The struggle with sentence structure cracks me up. After living in Germany for 7 years, I still struggle and ask "did what I just say make any sense??!?"
Cheer me on definitely 😅🥹 I needs the support mentally outside of myself because that internal dialogue be like “girl why you here? You know you could be sleep rn?” 🥲🤣
I wash my beans yes , but also, if you have problem with the gas, just mesh them! Make them a pate, it totally helps with the digestion while having the same protein-vitamin content :)
I recommend a mini rice cooker or normal rice cooker either a Japanese or Korean brand. Simple measure rice with a cup, put equal amounts of water in, before that rinse water in rice and drain excess water then I would say 5-10 times, put in rice cooker. Press cooking and then it'll tell you when it's ready and there's a keep warm function. Usually rice is hood for several days❤
doing rice is easy af. the measurement is always 2 cups of water for one of rice. 💀 and if you want that brazilian rice taste, just cut some onions and garlic
you gotta get yourself a scale my friend. I got a scale for weighing my macros and whatever and it helped so much. Before that I would guess my portions and...turns out I was wayyy off.
As a veggie person, I've never been able to consume the grams of protein for pounds of body weight!! I probably consume about half of that & often, slightly under. Thankfully my body still carries me through life & I feel well
Romans and greeks did have gyms - the word gym comes from the ancient greek word γυμνάσιον (gymnasion) which essentially means the same thing as gym - a place to do exercises etc.
I read a scientific paper (NO LIE!! ) that said potatoes can build muscle just as well as animal protein. Now while I as a diabetic can't fully follow this plan, I definitely incorporate a good portion of potatoes and they don't spike my blood sugar provided they aren't highly processed. I eat baked potatoes like nobody's business!! 😂😂 Eat well and pay attention to your blood sugar, and eat sources of good fat. I also understand the feeling of being full really fast, you do have to cram to meet your calories! At one point my calories weren't even enough to meet my daily bodily functions! Still fighting that, but I'm working;
damon i think all my ancestors rolled over in their grave when they saw the rice boiled in a plastic bag
He hates that rice. Or fears it. Maybe both.
Big old waste of plastic tho:/
Not the extra microplastic serving in his food. 😭😵💫
I wanna see Damon take a cooking class so bad
😂😂😂😂😂 I want Damon to read this!
Yes!! I've been thinking the same for some time

Second! honestly it's probably even easier than the bagged rice. and loose rice can be really inexpensive
The 1 knuckle rule makes all rice cooking methods even simpler. No measuring required 👆
@@runemagged21 whats the knuckle method?
I went to visit my brother and got so frustrated having to boil rice at his place I went to Target and bought him a rice cooker for $20

hi nina(s) 👋🏽
As a fellow vegan trying to get leaner/more muscle ive been looking for a meal plan so this video is PERFECTT timing thank you so much
Damn a fitness video that is healthy and lighthearted??? who knew they existed!! thanks Damon for always keeping it real

and it's important to keep it at a low to medium heat, so the rice can cook slow and thoroughly (depending on the rice, it varies)
Damon I started watching you at a very depressing time in my life and now I'm obsessed
Please never change😩
i just love how these days damon can turn any topic into a philosophical one.. like eating peanut butter!
Did you guys know chickpeas and garbanzo beans are the same thing...
YESSS I always thought I was tripping all my life 💀🤣😭
literally learned this last week and was shook
i fr thought they were different 😓
from the west coast here where everything takes the Spanish name, lol, I didn't know garbanzo beans were also called chickpeas until I was like 24 and found myself living in Kansas and wondering what the hell were these chickpeas at the store and where the hell were my garbanzo beans and humous, lol, I was a spoiled Californian when it came to food, lol (same with cilantro and coriander, and now I find myself living in France and I have to do a double take and remember "no honey, coriandre IS cilantro, it's ok honey" lol)
Wait until he finds out about chana 😂

Yesss spread the knowledge, wash your beans!!
That's the kind of knowledge I can spread on this channel.

im asian and i gasped.
u murdered that rice 😭 dont be shy we can help u how to cook it properly
I learned that you are maybe a Labrador retriever motivated by peanut butter snacks
IM DEF A DOG
I started a vegan, gluten free meal subscription service and I've seen more results in my body changing in the past month than the 8 months prior
you are so entertaining - I can sit and watch your videos even if they are an hour. And mind you, I have ADHD, I cannot normally focus.
Damon would you ever start a podcast? I would listen to that so hard.
I am living in the UK and the grams makes so much sense because you can just pop the mixing bowl or pot on the scale instead of dirtying measuring cups. Less washing up and more precise.

Your meal plan is kind of what I ate as a student. rice and beans? oats? smoothies? all the simple stuff. maybe I had it figured out all along 😂
thank you for making me feel normal in eating precooked rice 😂😂 it makes bulking so much easier!
I started going to the gym with a meal plan and an instructor and I can relate to a lot of the thoughts in this video. My friends make fun of me and ask me why I go to the gym because I'm not fat...that's not the point, I go to feel better, not because I feel bad now
Watching Damon cook is such a confusing experience. And I love it

the aggressive jar placement in the motivational speech really sets the tone 😭🤌🏻
cooking beans with a piece of kombu seaweed (it dissolves while cooking) makes them MUCH more ✨ digestible ✨
that last comment about bulking and cutting..... very true! young people fall into to that yoyo cycle at an early age and cause unnecessary mental and health problems... it's best to build slow and steady!! you cant rush consistency
The struggle with sentence structure cracks me up. After living in Germany for 7 years, I still struggle and ask "did what I just say make any sense??!?"
yes damon i do wash my beans are you proud of me
GOOD
✋me too😁
Are you more "YELL AT ME IN MY FACE, TRAINER", "Cheer me on, trainer!", or "JUST NO ONE TALK TO ME OK!?" at the gym?
Cheer me on definitely 😅🥹 I needs the support mentally outside of myself because that internal dialogue be like “girl why you here? You know you could be sleep rn?” 🥲🤣
The first or the last. The cheering thing sounds weak to me from someone who's standing there doing nothing;)
I do so much better with a trainer yelling in my face!! Like it sucks, but makes me angry enough to push through!
@@josihenry306 yes push thru the person training me face 😂
I wash my beans yes , but also, if you have problem with the gas, just mesh them! Make them a pate, it totally helps with the digestion while having the same protein-vitamin content :)
I always washed my beans just bc it’s in a can for who knows how long ✨😂
Plus that slime and the extra salt!! Always wash canned beans!!! 😩
now damon has a kitchen that actually looks legit, what an upgrade
I recommend a mini rice cooker or normal rice cooker either a Japanese or Korean brand.

No Damon! As a latino I cried looking at that rice in a bag!! Stooop hahahahaha
literally meee!! beans is the way to go & people/my friends call me crazy … cus beans come on xD
Boy where you been? “IN THE GYM” I’ve missed your videos! Looking great!
9:08 Why is this so hilariousss! Like he isn't even trying and I'm dying over here 💀

you gotta get yourself a scale my friend. I got a scale for weighing my macros and whatever and it helped so much. Before that I would guess my portions and...turns out I was wayyy off.

Be careful, because you as you get older, you will begin to feel that deficit. I encourage your diet, just watch out for feeling off.
Happy to know you`re healthy, but please check your vitamin B complex levels!!!

I eat baked potatoes like nobody's business!! 😂😂 Eat well and pay attention to your blood sugar, and eat sources of good fat. I also understand the feeling of being full really fast, you do have to cram to meet your calories! At one point my calories weren't even enough to meet my daily bodily functions! Still fighting that, but I'm working;
