It kills me when people say eating a healthy diet is expensive. A lot of fresh vegetables and fruits are pretty cheap.
I eat a whole foods diet... i think..(no dairy/no seafood/no refined carbs). I grill and bake 90% of my food. I have a small hoard of canned fruits, veg, and soups. And some snacks like pistachios, crunchy peanutbutter and dried figs.
I hardly eat out because im usually not impressed with my food. I always end up feeling like it wasnt worth the money or the extra calories and i couldve made something better at home.
Yes
Because it takes time. People like a fast cheap food. But health is wealth. Time is money. Health is better than any amount of money.
It may be inexpensive to eat healthy, but remember that simply being able to access and prepare healthy foods is a privilege that not everyone has, especially those of lower socio economic classes. Many are so busy trying to survive, pay rent, and work to support their families that unhealthy fast food options become the only option. Healthy foods may be “inexpensive”, but it is more than just the price of food that prevent people from being healthy.
@@Lolipopstar58 im sorry i dont agree with this i think its an excuse or miseducation. chopping up some vegetables and a piece of meat and putting in the oven for 45 minutes is easy. fresh fruit requires no cooking or preparation. I plan my meals for the week so im not cooking everyday. it saves money, time, less food waste and its healthy. in the long run unhealthy fastfood options will cost you medical expenses and shorten your lifespan. there are so many recipes online for healthy dinners in 30 minutes.
@@Lolipopstar58 fast food is more expensive than healthy options like beans eggs or fish...
I heard once, "Health starts not with what we add, but with what we take away."
Keto works for me. But, I won't stop anyone who take different approach of diet. Just do what works for you.
I like that they looked at all 3 extremes of diet and figured out what they all had in common. I’m addicted to sugar and have been steadily putting on weight for the past decade. I like what Ben Greenfield said about avoiding decision fatigue by eating the same things every day until dinner. Going to try the same thing.
Me and my partner do this. Eat the same things. Easy. Really frees up mental power for other things!
Cheers to one on one dates with each child this practice really enriched my own parenting life and I always recommend it to my students parents! Love this video.
Totally agree with the surprise over gluten. Some people thrive on it. As long as you don't eat a ton of bread.
I did enjoy this content. It's interesting to hear from someone else's perspective on what a healthy, nutritious and filling minimalistic meal is. I have been vegan for five years and do daily exercises with a group of friends. Since my college years I have had a motto: always eat at the apt and stay active, and if I do go out to eat, eat everything on my plate or take it to go (the restaurants throws away the food) Most of the salads or pastries I take home I can eat it in a day or two. And I don't have to worry about cooking or food prepping for those days. Great info guys! I will check out your podcast!
I'm guessing my husband and I would be considered extreme minimalist with food 🤣 we do intermittent fasting and we only eat one meal a day. Have been doing this for years
That's fantastic, all the extra time you must have not eating, thinking about food and preparing
@@minimalistserendipity4744 yes, I love it 🙂. It's strange for us to think how we used to eat several times a day and snacks before. It's funny when I hear someone say their starving and they just ate 4 hours ago 🤣
I'll be right there with you eating 1 meal a day once I'm done breastfeeding!
@@jessie9653 how did you get to that stage? Is your one meal huge and comprised of lots of different foods?
@@minimalistserendipity4744 I have rheumatoid arthritis and my husband told me about fasting and how good it was and I didn't want to be on medications. So I started too fast I would eat in a 8 hour window and fast for 16 hours. Then about a year later I would eat in a 4 hour window and fast for 20 hours. Then I went down to one meal a day and all my RA symptoms were gone and all my blood work was good.
Maybe I eat a little more than most people. With the fasting I lost 35 lb so now I weigh 100 lb. I pretty much eat whatever I want even if I have a hamburger and fries I usually have a vegetable as well. I also usually eat some sort of dessert after dinner. It's never usually that much because I'm already pretty full. My meals usually consist of meat vegetables and potatoes.
I suffer from an eating disorder and I really enjoyed this! It helps me continue my healthy Journey in recovery.
Eggs and bananas (survival nutritions)
Peanut butter and apples
Yes,peanut butter and apples is a staple in our house too!
Simply vegan food and looking after our health is the most important thing 👍. Vegan and very healthy food works for me, I feel better and more active.
I don't do so well on a vegan diet. Right now I'm trying LCHF. It's working okay so far, but it's early days yet.
Veganism, in the long run for most will result in deficiencies
@@savin99 especially in the brain
I live in Germany and am very happy when I have eaten an amazing slice of cake (example: a slice of Black Forest cake at a special cafe in the Black Forest).
before shut down, my son and I would have a lunch "date" once a month. It's fantastic. We're about to start up again.
Dear Ryan and Josh, Please interview a panel of experts in nutrition (such as dietitians or specialists) who are also themselves minimalists! (I know they exist; some have youtube channels...)
Could you share their names? :)
I eat a minimalistic Carnivore/Keto diet. Beef, chicken wings, lamb liver, other organ meats, wild caught fish, honey, coconut oil and avocado oil. I drink water, black coffee and tea. I take digestive enzymes, magnesium glycinate and a few other supplements for filling in the gaps.
Love this. Thank you for the reply
Ben is a modern day superhero, Please colab and write a minimalist diet plan 🙏
He lost me at sea moss gel. 🤣🤣
I'm not a nutritionist but here are my thoughts. I think that the more strict are your diet the less chance that you will keep it on. So I only try to avoid processed food and an excess amount of sugar and fats, which solves most of the health problems correlating to food. To confront decision fatigue but not lose variety I have some kind of formula. A balanced meal for me is a combination of three parts - carbs, a source of protein, and veggies. That can sound difficult, but it's just rice/pasta/potato + meat/chicken/fish/beans + some mix of fresh or frozen veggies. By just combining those things and some spices you will get most recipes of pasta, fried rice, pilaf, curry, and so on. I just switch protein source from day to day in some kind of a cycle and rest of ingredients depends on what's available at the market
My diet is two meals per day.
Heading down to Asda to get my seamoss jell... 🙄
Instead of baking soda in water, how about potassium bicarbonate? ( perhaps with a pinch of pink salt)
my diet is super simple. its beef, eggs, bacon, and cheese!! lol. nothing else!!!! Ive been doing the carnivore diet for over a year now. never going back!!
Where do you get your vitamin c??
@@beatrizaceiton2396 LIVER. this guy explains it very well. ua-cam.com/video/JDpRJWdpkiQ/v-deo.html
@@beatrizaceiton2396 theres also vit c in muscle meat its just low, apparently carb metabolism takes a bit more vit c so not eating carbs reduces the body's need for vit c if one wants to avoid organ meat and plant sources
It is just incredibly unhealthy and unethical. Don’t fall for this fad!
@@benjaminharling3338 how is it unethical?? And I have suffered from crohns disease for 16 years. I finally felt better immediately after I started this diet. I was originally gonna do for 30 days but decided this diet was best for me so I didn't have to suffer anymore so I will do it for life!!! I did extensive research before I started this diet I employ u to do the same. Results speak volumes
intermittent fasting, skip breakfast, fruits then meat and potatoes or chipotle, then chocolate.
Sounds like Kinobody…
@@bubbie1983 haha yess, it works for me & im in really good shape
why can’t the actual dietitian get a word in? 😐
she's a woman
I like what Josh had to say in the first half, but I'm disappointed none of this excerpt included the RD talking. I dislike what Ben had to say - frankly, that all sounds like disordered eating, or even orthorexia, not something that I think should be shared as "diet" advice to others.
same,, I was thinking " wooh, I can minimize it better" It is not how tech savy you are rather how simple and easy it is
I disagree. Some people are abstainers and some are moderators.
Agreed, these are not diet experts, they're just regular people. I would like to see actual dietitians be interviewed. I know there are minimalist dietitians out there.
Dietetics is a field of study... you are not an expert on nutrition because you only eat meat, or because you are a marathoner.
Rebecca is a nutritionist, that being said I think that it is good to hear other people’s perspective on eating as a minimalist. Keeping a simple kitchen and tips for eating out. That’s how I heard it, I don’t think anyone was “selling” a diet here and that was kind of the point. I guess if one was disappointed it means they are searching for more. Best
Sous-vide as in Soo or Su VeeD; the D at the end should not be dropped off in speaking.
Sous-vide is soo-veed.
Sous-vid would be soo-vee.
Wow, that one-on-one dinner idea with each kid would solve half the family problems in the world! I suggest with in-laws as well at least a couple times each year! Even if people separated to other rooms or outside for one-on-ones if they couldn't afford to eat out would be good!
Thanks for this ❤️
Great listening
I loved the book, I like this channel but, guys, when it comes to diet I feel blessed I can enjoy the Mediterranean diet (which can become vegan with just a few adjustments) here where I live. Carbs are not the devil as long as they’re complex and not simple (like sugar), they provide the glucose cells need.
Thank you for this! I’m inspired to take better care of my body and have meaningful meals with loved ones
There is a lot of misinformation in this video. Gluten is not bad unless you are celiac; organic is not healthier; chemicals are not bad (everything is made up of chemicals); sugar can be included as part of a healthy diet; you don't need to eliminate bread or any other food; what the hell are inflammatory foods? I love the Minimalists, but they're lost when it comes to nutrition. Follow experts like Layne Norton, Eric Helms or Mike Israetel.
Agree to disagree. I've tested negative for celiac but gluten makes me lethargic and gives me skin issues. I will agree that sugar can be included as part of a healthy diet. The experts you mentioned are experts in body composition, particularly in muscle building and maintenance. I concede, like most of the mentioned experts, that calories are the biggest factor for health outcomes (bloodwork markers). But you can be thin and diabetic. You can have good blood work but have low energy. You can eat have a six pack from eating only meat but a year later develop permanent conditions related to long term ketosis. Calories reign supreme, but micronutrients matter for overall health too. Health is not just about looking fit on the outside, nor is it finding studies that prove your point.
first time here and pre ordering
Thank you! 🥰
if you want to minimize suffering, then a vegan lifestyle and its diet is the best option.
but if i kill one whale and freeze it then i can eat for a crazy long period of time without killing the deer birds or the like that are going after my trees and such.
A carnivore diet or omnivore diet is better than a vegan diet. Many animals are killed to protect crops. Fair enough some of these feed lot fed animals aren’t the best solution either. The crops are sprayed with all sorts of chemicals. Do you really want those chemicals in your body? The whole vegan movement doesn’t benefit the planet. Bill gates is a technology expert, not a nutritionist. Regenerative agriculture is the best way forward. I recommend reading’ Sacred Cow’ by Robb Wolf.
Suffering is self inflicted
@@MatthewL30 much more crops are fed to animals than to humans, so if you care about animals that die as a result of crop farming you would stop eating animals.
@@beatrizaceiton2396 explain.
“The gustatory pleasure of mastication?” Hmm…
I thought he said possum, not pasta
Wish the female dietician had more time to talk
UPDATE 2024. DR. PAUL SALADINO IS STILL MEAT BASED BUT NOW EATS RAW HONEY AND FRUIT
Have a garden and some chickens, maybe a few milk goats.
Carnivore diet. I eat 1kg of meat per day. Zero waste.
Raw meat + distilled water
zombies do exist
Carnivore! Just meat. Also eggs and cheese
That’s insane and I am worried that the minimalists like this….
@@benjaminharling3338 What is insane about eating whole, natural foods that are full of bio available nutrients?
@@tobyMacBallerina they are also full of stuff you don’t want in your body. And we should definitely eat less meat to ensure the future of our planet. Those are some things I can name here but I’m sure you heard about them and tell me that cholesterol and saturated fat is not bad at all and monocropping is worse for the environment than raising grass fed beef.
But I won’t change you, so go on! I just think it is incredibly sad that people are falling for this.
@@benjaminharling3338 I won’t bother changing your mind either. I feel sad you believe the way that you do, as well
@@tobyMacBallerina then you are clearly deluded, sorry to say that
Steak
Never take diet advice from someone younger than you are.
Potatoes and water
Oat meal and water with a pinch of salt
Ben's diet and 'health hacks' sound like the diet of many eating disorder patients I know... I used to be one of them.
I love your content, but please don't promote this kind of diet.
Following wheat belly diet . It works for me. 🤍🌸
