I eat by my blood type which is A. Is a book by Dr. James D Alamo. Is mostly a Vegetarian approach, he breaks down the foods into Medecine (Highly Recomended), Beneficial (Recommended) and Not Beneficial (Poison) It is base on the aminoacids, lectins, proteins of the foods and how the impact your organs in a Positve or Negative way. I started this approach 20 something years ago, it works for me. I reset it every once a while to a bit more vegan and listen to my body which I think is very important. Like you I stop drinking coffee and detox my self from sugar many years ago Thank You for sharing.
I would love to see how you do and what you think of the frugivore diet, you can search Dr. Morse and his Miracle Detox, he has a theory that we are meant to eat all raw and mostly alkalizing fruits (some vegetables at best in juice form, but not juiced is also ok). I am working on it and it is quite nice, but seeing what you have to say about it would be a great help! Edit: One big thing is, if your organism is kinda acidified, you might suffer malabsorbtion which might derive in weight loss with this diet, until you are clean and your body is able to absorb everything you put in. There is a lot to learn/read to actually know what it is about and what it can happen to you while doing it.
For health issue, i tried lots of diets. i would say i'm Vegan-ish stage. Now, everytime I eat dairy (I'm french so really hard to cut the cheese) my stomach says no Sir! i started to have trouble with processed sardines, tuna in olive and if the meat is not grass-fed, same i feel bad. I work in a big french walmart, and marketing is fascinating. we had the gluten-free products and now brands are making vegetarian "healthy" nuggets or falafels made of what...Wheat = Gluten. Yes, i would love a tutorial for the rope! Last question: I've been diagnosed with a meniscal lesion with Chrondopathy stage 3 to 4, that why i started to watch your flexibility video. yesterday, i did the 1min deep squat routine. i felt great even if the Doctor said i shouldn't. What do you think? Peace, keep the good work
Carivore Md's animal based Pastured raised red meat, eggs, and butter with raw dairy and raw honey. Add in fruits for carbs. I'm loving it and would love to see how it treats you.
My two favorite Tarzan's. Beautiful movements. I''ll give primal a go this month. Just quit alcohol after drinking for 10 years daily. 4 days no alcohol....can't believe how much better i'm already starting to feel. One of the hardest things i have ever done
So they have found evidence of cavemen with grains in their belly there were some studies done by some dentists on teeth and how their teeth were different than ours and their jaw lines because of how tough the food was to chew back then and how they had less cavities even though they had worse dental hygiene anyway I just think that's interesting also with paleo isnt that very negative on certain organs I like the heart
i found that once u do quit drinking, if u ever decide down the road to have a drink u wont enjoy it and wished u never had that drink my experience anyways keep up the good work
The mental game is real when giving up favorite foods, and developing the mentality to keep yourself on track is work that gets done every day. Thanks for this video. Would definitely like to see some videos on the ropes!
I've been doing keto for 7 years. One thing I would recommend before starting any dietary plan is a basic blood and lipid panel before and 30 days into it. Make sure everything is moving in the right direction.
I've been eating paleo for over 2 years. It's made a huge difference in my health, weight, energy, and joint pain and my blood work and blood pressure. I love not feeling tired and achy. I'll never go back. Occasionally, family gatherings require that I eat something unhealthy. I just go back to paleo the next day and start with a short fast to cleanse my body. As Josh said, the most important thing is to eat with intention. He's right that it's hard to eat out. 99% of restaurant food is unhealthy and full of sodium and sugar. Paleo makes a documented HUGE difference for folks with chronic inflammatory conditions and food sensitivities and all chronic modern diseases. I recommend the book by Dr. Terry Wahls. She's THE authority on paleo and reversed her own MS with it. She offers multiple levels of restriction. I'd also offer caution eating too much processed food labeled as "paleo". While it has healthier ingredients, it's usually still processed. Become a label reader. If you can't understand or pronounce the ingredients, put it back. The best thing you can put in your body is fresh whole food and nothing processed or full of chemicals. And avoid dairy, grains, and all forms of sugar except some whole fruit. Use mostly virgin olive oil and avocado oil and some coconut for cooking. You can also eat clarified butter that has the milk solids removed. It's easier and tastier to make your own with a double boiler than buy the nasty rancid ghee they sell in jars in the stores.
Love it bro!! As someone in mid 20s I can say that unless you're clouding your mental clarity with too much caffeine, bad sleep, media over stimulation etc.. youll already feel a MASSIVE difference in capacity, recovery and bounciness of overall life! Love sticking to paleo as a baseline and minimally going left & right to make use of momentum that 'giving in a little' gives. I currently value the momentum of saying YES more than the rigidity of NO. For ex. there's a "warming" effect to some grains like oats or heavy fiber-bound seeds like buckwheat or quinoa or black/red/wild rice. You can lightly ferment these to significantly reduce the sugars in them too :D !! When I do go for oatmeal for ex. I wont do 90% oats but maybe 30%. Rest can be seeds like shredded flaxseed, chia, chopped up nuts galore and some cooked fruit like apple (cooked especially because it releases pectin fiber - great for gut) or banana. Keep tinkering
I am in mid 20s and can't even fathom not having cheat meals. How is this possible for you? I guess reading the comments I am thinking, "do people actually eat like this?? LOL
Tell us about the rope. I’ve been eating keto for the last 3 months. About to jump into paleo. Excited to see how my body responds! Thanks for the content!
I’ve been off and on Paleo over the last 10 years and intermittent fasting for the last 5 along with it. I can honestly tell you this. I absolutely hate life when I do not take care of myself, or feel and look like a tub of shit. I fall into really bad habits due to just being lazy, which in turn creates anxiety followed by depression, weight gain, self pity and an overall poor outlook on things. The Paleo diet with a 16 - 8 intermittent fasting schedule, working out at least 3 days a week absolutely works for mental health, physical health/weight loss, attitude and overall outlook. There is something about sticking to it that maybe builds a confidence that creates momentum which in turn has no choice but to become a habitual way of living. Great video.
I"m glad this woe worked out for you. I've had to eat carnivore for over 4 years. I'm allergic to gluten and feel best when eating no plants. I'll eat an occassional brussel sprout, pickle or olive. I can tolerate them. I work out generally 5 days a week at the gym. I eat little fruit or sugar. I'm 70 years old and feel great.
What I recommend is something proposed in “Diet Cults” called Agnostic Healthy eating. This means you start with a list of the healthiest foods and use trial and error to deduce the best diet for yourself. Each human has a u Jair ancestry and looking to your ancestors and their climate can be helpful as well. Try different combinations of macros, at different times, etc. Since you will have a unique genetic makeup and different lifestyle, exercise needs, age, sex, etc, likewise, there will be a unique optimal diet for each person. One person may thrive on dairy while another better to be vegan, etc.
I'd be interested in the rope flow. I'll be 70 in 3 days. I've been running for 50 years. I started lifting weights about 10 years ago. I wish I had started this earlier. I've been watching your content because of the mobility and flexibility along with strength.
Nice video- let me offer some insights. There are a couple of problems with the paleo diet. 1- there was no single diet shared by our paleo ancestors. Hunter gatherers who migrated to different climates varies significantly in their macro combinations. The Inuit are a diet that was primarily composed of fats, the Polynesians ate mostly carbs, and the Native Americans of Montana ate a protein heavy diet, for some examples. They are all healthy diets that matches their respective climates. Another issue is that humans have domesticated all of our foods from fruits and vegetables to our animal foods. Look up the wild cousins of the carrot, potato, etc and you’ll see what I mean. Also, animals have changed quit a bit since we began herding livestock instead of hunting wild animals, and one side effect of this is that domesticated animals have a much higher fat content, as just one example, so eating a lot of beef today will put a lot more animal fat in your diet than eating the same portion of a wild bison steak. My other critique is that humans have adapted since paleo times to be able to eat grains, beans, and yes, even dairy, if you are descended from north European whites, so it is not true that we cannot eat these foods, as the paleo diet suggests. Evolution did not stop after the paleo era. I hope some of this is helpful for your understanding. I recommend checking out the books “Paleofantasy” and “Diet Cults”- they are both excellent and cover these topics in detail. Cheers.
Thanks for another great tip guys! I like the sound of this and will be sure to keep it in mind for in the upcoming g months. I'm still on the "no sugar, alcohol, coffee" month for now, but honestly I need to pace myself... after a decades of eating all sorts, not necessarily terribly but not well balanced to say the least! Having done things like oats to hold onto rather than sugary cereal of deaded bread with a (albeit otherwise paced healthily) sandwich rather than a "subway"is I feel a necessarily stepping stone. I think its important to point out whilst what you point out Josh is absolutely correct and very true, swapping everything overnight in attempt to better ourselves will have a large ratio of failure imho because lets be frank here, it's far more easy to take these in s steps rather than a straight up 180. Slow is smooth - smooth is fast! As i say I'll definitely keep this in mind for the upcoming months, one step at a time in order to achieve a lifestyle the we can each be proud of to have made happen! Sorry for the monologue haha, as someone who's spent his 20s abusing alcohol, junkfood and social media at the cost of my mental and physical fitness its nice to have the subtle clarity to step back and being able to pick out right from "easy" Love from the UK guys, thank you for making the world a better place!
I like your face without the smoothing filter bro. Your a very handsome man and your profile is unique in that it has a beauty of it's own. The filter makes it perfect but takes away the different uniqueness that your beauty comes in. But also love your video. Much love!
A rope video would be cool! Please 🙏 I personally eat a whole food, plant based diet and feel great doing that. I think avoiding processed food is key.
I was actually thinking about doing some food “purging” and trying the paleo diet for a month so, crazy how you release a video like this during that time lol. And yes would love to see a video about rope flow
Thanks for the vid. Really like that you are coming at it from a personal and tried angle and not “preaching or shaming”. Gives us an insight and the tools to make a decision to explore the idea further if we want. Would love to hear more about the ropes and your journey and method with it please.
This is such an awesome vid. I'm super interested in a rope video. These videos on the results of a 30-day diet are really helpful too. You guys are awesome at showing the gentle truth, while showing some phenomenal benefits from the process. Thanks for doing what you do!
Into paleo diet for 9 years now, and no chance to go back. Meat, eggs, fruit, vegetables, natural fats, nuts and occasionally dairy and alcohol. Works like a charm.
For past two years I been doing a variant of keto, Paleo and carnivore +18/6 intermittent fasting. My body fat on most days around 10.5%. the only dairy I get is raw milk, kefir or raw cheese. Feel pretty good for a guy in his mid 50's. I regularly run 4 to 8 miles as well as road bike and some weight lifting / core work. When I try to tell family or normies what I do they think I'm crazy.
yes they will call you crazy, because we are brainwashed about diet, this is not meant as an insult it is just true. We are at a point that our natural human diet is called 'crazy.' Do you consume any organs?
I think cutting out dairy is wise if you don’t have access to Raw dairy products. From what I’ve seen most people with dairy intolerance can consume raw dairy.
I’ve been on the paleo autoimmune diet since January and I haven’t looked back. With each food I eliminated I felt better and better. Alcohol, dairy and gluten were first years ago. Then this year all other grains, nuts and seeds, eggs, nightshades, poly unsaturated oils… I’ve never had so much energy. I’ve added back in a the occasional brown rice or aged cheese and nightshades, but thats it. I am mostly blown away on how much easier cooking actually got. Way less options, but they all taste absolutely delicious and are relatively easy and quick to prepare. Just fruit, veg & meat. Easy. They taste so good and leave me feeling vibrant so it’s hard to get sick of the small selection.
Thank you for this video. I started three days ago and my mood swings are gone. Also the pull to food is gone. For a binge eater, that's a big deal. I notice that wheat, grains and sugar is addictive for me. I listened to a podcast and the Interviewer said, "What do you say to people that say I want to enjoy sugar and flour from time to time and be happy?" The woman replied, "sugar is a poor proxy for happiness". That was so profound. Food is not happiness and is it worth the hit only to be miserable and overweight? For some of us, sugar and flour products are like a drug. I feel so much healthier just in three days. Depression and anxiety has completely lifted. Plan to continue. I had to be real with myself and admit that those things are triggers for me. I'd much rather feel happy mentally and be comfortable in my skin.
Good day, you video have inspired me to stretch daily. I'm even practicing more floor routines to help with my balance & preparing for possible falls. I'm 66 and recently had a stroke and need more balance, flexibility and mind excercises. Your videos help with all these. I do like you rope routines and would like to see more. Thank you so much for your teachings.
Been on paleo now and I LOVE it..Ive tried many styles. Vegan for 7 years, vegetarian a few, Mediterranean, and now this. WITH THE EXCEPTION of grass fed organic dairy only, I feel great with it so i don't cut it. I feel the mental clarity too, its my favorite benefits.
Awesome video! I like Keto/wholefoods myself with a pinch of Intermittent fasting 🤪 You guys definitely got me intrigued about that rope and YES a video would de fantastic! ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Thanks for the diet update Josh! If you ever go back to more grains and legumes, would you consider trying soaking / sprouting / fermenting them to reduce anti-nutrients and report on your results? I guess this would apply for nuts and seeds as well.
I'm a vegetarian and I eat 80-90% whole foods. I eat kind of low carb because I don't eat rice, rarely eat pasta, but usually have a slice or two of sprouted grain bread. I eat tons of veg and fruit but and rely on eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for the bulk of my protein. My diet isn't as clean as paleo but since I cut out alcohol, sugar and most processed foods I feel great. I've been vegetarian for almost 20 years and have always eaten fairly healthy, but when I did a 30 day no sugar diet a while back it really changed how I eat.
Definitely interested in the ropes. Also best way to get really into calisthenics. Basics! There’s sooooo much to go through! And definitely feel the best 16/8 and as close to strictly paleo as I can pull off. Though it’s been a long couple years!
Excellent speech on nutrition. I never heard about Paleo diet before, something similar not called Paleo. Bread 🍞 is hard. The rice 🍚 is not so hard to give up. Coffee ☕️ was and could be a little challenge and I can do it. Sweets I can do without. The Holy Spirit will teach and show me to fight 👋the temptations. The stretches are necessary and like weight rope as well as weight handle ball. They are great to use for work out. However 😏at this time I will use my resistant bands. 🙏🏽📖😇
Really appreciate this video. Believe it's so important to be a conscious eater and Paleo seems to have some great benefits. Thanks to you I got into rope flow and it's been a lot of fun these past couple of weeks. So yes please do a Rope flow video. Thanks to you and Trevor for sharing great movement information with us.
Nice video!!! I recently started eating like this but had no idea it was called Paleo. The fourth day in I had the worst cravings but then I was good. I implemented a cheat day in my week but by the time I got to that day I wasn’t really interested in the things I used to crave anymore. Not sure how long I will continue this but I definitely feel great.
Love your videos, and this was a good one. I was completely drawn in by the cool rope moves and was immediately trying to figure out how I was going to copy those moves. I would really appreciate a video on that. I'm turning 60 and months ago I quit drinking, eating sugar and bread. I have done this before and I feel so much better every time I do. I didn't realize I have been eating paleo, but I am and it's very satisfying. Once you cut out the crap like alcohol, bread carbs, and sugar you feel like a high end machine.
most fitness influencers have no idea about this stuff!!! this is great content bro, all they talk about is macros and counting calories to be healthy, but in reality, getting rid of processed foods and eating whole foods is the key!!
Great video man! I'm currently on another healing journey with food and Paleo has always been the savior of my mind and body. Currently dealing with a shitty diagnosis and really need to get to a place of health again 🤘 Gonna subscribe!
Dairy, grains are very, very easy for me to avoid. Processed foods are anathema to any kind of good health. Alcohol.............................not so much. I mix whiskey with water only. Hoping to eventually shed this too. Losing weight and my stomach has shrunk. I also have more energy and much clearer thought processes. I'm 57, male.
I am currently doing whole 30 which is more restrictive than Paleo and I enjoy it a lot. Once my 30 days are up I will probably switch to regular Paleo because it is easier to sustain long-term. Tbh I am a million times less gassy and my mood has been fantastic. I struggled with depression for years and I think part of it may have been my diet. I can't say for sure but I definitely enjoy it
I've done the paleo diet thing as of lately but I'm still stuck on my coffee in the morning... is there any good alternatives to coffee that give you that same desired effect....
Love the content, you've been a real inspiration in me and my friends' lives. Thanks to everyone who helps produce this channel :) Just curious, is there a backstory to the hash tat?
Great video, i take a bit from Keto, a bit from Carnivore, and a daily fast. Seems to work great. If you’re short on content ideas. A good subject would be The Horse Stance vs The Deep Squat differences ect…
The primal diet cured my increasingly worsening joint and muscle pain in just a few days. Sure, it could be a coincidence that it stopped right after I started this diet, but I highly doubt it.
Do you ever just do rope jumping as exercise? I found that when I was younger, say in my 20’s, that jumping rope for 5, 10, and even 15 minutes was some of the best exercise I’ve ever done. However, now that I’m 60 I’m not sure I can jump rope due to hip, knee, and ankle issues. 🧐
I’m interested in food freedom & pro metabolic. Eating anything your body craves, in the best quality you can get without sweating it. As a menstruating woman…I find nourishment the most important path towards health, I want my body to trust me.
Read Mark's book years ago when I was training a lot, but gaining weight and feeling tired. Really benefitted me, became leaner and more energised. Slipped in resent years but back on the programme now. Mainly veggies, nuts and seeds. A little oily fish. I don't agree with everything Mark advocates these days, but just find what is right for you.
Roto diet: the point is that human digest system depends on ferments, which updated every 4 days. It means, that you need to consume one type of protein not more then over 4 days. For example:1st day animal protein (Chicken), 2nd day growth protein (beans), 3d day fish protein, 4th day vegan, and only then you can reply the same protein like in the 1st day....
Listening to you made a lot of sense, I knew deep down bread wasn't good for me but hot buttered toast was my go to breakfast, I gave up bread for a week and felt better I'm still adjusting to a new way of eating but definitely feeling the benefits
bread is pretty tough. I was just travelling the last 2 weeks and had some good sourdough bread here and there and boy it's tasty. Ultimately doens't make me feel great though, agree!
I do good with grains and dairy but the key for me for lower inflammation is to only eat organic bread and organic grains. Regular wheat products in particular is gmo and sprayed with glyphosates which trigger system inflammation. And the dairy I consume is local and organic only, but outside of that a Mediterranean/paleo mashup. Food is highly individual and mainly based on our ancestry and what we are evolved to eat.
I want to try a 30 day meal prep and see if that makes a difference in my weight! I’ve been making shredded chicken, rice and veggies (not always veggies) and it’s been helping me lose weight! I was down 4 lbs but gained it back. But I was drinking Dr Pepper so I’ll have to start tomorrow! I hope this helps me.
Looking forward for videos about ropes and it's benefits!!! Ive been following Timothy Shieff's content for the last few months and I always learn sth out of it
Yes please . . . the ropes and portable high bar look really cool! I haven't eaten red meat for approx. 7 years . . . and I don't wish to go back . . . is this adjustment to paleo feasible?
Great video and really in line with the newest nutrition advice! Highly processed and full of additives food cannot be good for us and obviously causes also mental issues. This has been proven in regards to how our microbiom, which is currently considered an organ, affects our mental health as well. It was nicely summarized in 'Spoon Fed' by Tim Spector. I stick with these ideas even though I don't eat meat but have a lot of grains in my diet. However I always try to use in their least processed form. My diary and egg intake is minimal with the focus on whole foods plant based. Have been using time restrictive eating method for over 3 years now. Last year switched completely form consuming evening meals to mornig and seems to be working better. My energy levels are so stable I can go on for hours without eating even though I stay acive.
Since I went "hyper carnivore" 70-80% animal products definitely been feeling more constant energy, no hunger cravings between meals, better sleep, better skin plus being a coeliac I don't eat gluten anyway!!
I was about to kick in to my research about the rope flow thing.. .i do skipping in a kind of really demanding level.. .but i enjoy a lot what you do with it.. .its a different approach to it as i can see.. .looking forward to it !! (:
I tend to follow the Mediterranean Diet. It’s been rather easy for me to follow and it’s got 50+ years of research behind it. I’ve tried the paleo diet from time to time, but I never kept it up for long periods of time. I felt pretty good while on that as well.
Bravo, boss! :D Great work on your nutrition! If you drop the potatoes and nuts, I think you’ll be doing keto, except that might invite butter back in. Yes for getting started with rope flow!
I’ve done the paleo diet (without eating potatoes) and I loss a ton of weight. It’s takes a few days for your body to adjust and start to feel good though. I recently started it back up again and I’m already feeling good.
My body is sensitive to stress so it's very easy to see what is not helping or not. I switched my diet toward more fats that are not necesarily paleo, nuts, avocado, olive oil and I reduced flour, rice and when I eat them I make sure there are some fats in there as well. This seems to work better for me.
Been benefiting from the 18/6 intermittent fasting (thanks for that!), but more with a Mediterranean style diet. Have introduced some very lean meat back into my diet after giving it a 4 year break. I love a few oz's of filet mignon, but it's more difficult to digest, at least for my system. Enjoying home grown sweet potatoes now! Yes please to more 'rope' info!!
Well somethings ha definetly changed because your skin looks much brighter and clear in this video, and it almost looks like the usual bagines in our eyes has dissapeared. Don't get me wrong Josh, I've always liked your content since I discovered your channel and find many great stuff and knowledge from the many things that you share with us, but one thing that has also intrigued me since I began watching your channel is that your skin, specially the one in your face looks very ashen and you have a sleepy expression in your face most of the time, and I'm like "Is this dude feeling as good as he's saying? 'Cause he sure looks like a person that hasn't slept in 2 days in a row" haha. Again, don't get me wrong, but if this changes in your face are due to your body "destoxifying" thanks to the paleo diet, I do think it's worth a try!
What type of diet protocols do you follow? Is there any diet you want me to try out and report back on?

I eat by my blood type which is A. Is a book by Dr. James D Alamo.

Like you I stop drinking coffee and detox my self from sugar many years ago Thank You for sharing.
I would love to see how you do and what you think of the frugivore diet, you can search Dr. Morse and his Miracle Detox, he has a theory that we are meant to eat all raw and mostly alkalizing fruits (some vegetables at best in juice form, but not juiced is also ok). I am working on it and it is quite nice, but seeing what you have to say about it would be a great help!
Edit: One big thing is, if your organism is kinda acidified, you might suffer malabsorbtion which might derive in weight loss with this diet, until you are clean and your body is able to absorb everything you put in. There is a lot to learn/read to actually know what it is about and what it can happen to you while doing it.
For health issue, i tried lots of diets. i would say i'm Vegan-ish stage. Now, everytime I eat dairy (I'm french so really hard to cut the cheese) my stomach says no Sir! i started to have trouble with processed sardines, tuna in olive and if the meat is not grass-fed, same i feel bad.
I work in a big french walmart, and marketing is fascinating. we had the gluten-free products and now brands are making vegetarian "healthy" nuggets or falafels made of what...Wheat = Gluten.
Yes, i would love a tutorial for the rope!
Last question: I've been diagnosed with a meniscal lesion with Chrondopathy stage 3 to 4, that why i started to watch your flexibility video. yesterday, i did the 1min deep squat routine. i felt great even if the Doctor said i shouldn't. What do you think? Peace, keep the good work
I keep gravitating back to keto, though I eat fish and eggs every day and the only beef is grass fed beef liver 1-2x/week.
Carivore Md's animal based
Pastured raised red meat, eggs, and butter with raw dairy and raw honey. Add in fruits for carbs.
I'm loving it and would love to see how it treats you.
It might sound dumb, but one of the best things you can do for your diet, is to avoid anything that you see advertisement for.
Same for drugs, lol
Well said!
That actually makes sense
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences has caused many problems to mankind
So most probably we will never hear to eat more meat and less grains
My two favorite Tarzan's. Beautiful movements. I''ll give primal a go this month. Just quit alcohol after drinking for 10 years daily. 4 days no alcohol....can't believe how much better i'm already starting to feel. One of the hardest things i have ever done
Keep up the good work! It will be so worth it to let that go
If it was so hard to not drink for 4 days then you don't feel better yet. I call complete bs
So they have found evidence of cavemen with grains in their belly there were some studies done by some dentists on teeth and how their teeth were different than ours and their jaw lines because of how tough the food was to chew back then and how they had less cavities even though they had worse dental hygiene anyway I just think that's interesting also with paleo isnt that very negative on certain organs I like the heart
Looove it bro, stay ☝️
i found that once u do quit drinking, if u ever decide down the road to have a drink u wont enjoy it and wished u never had that drink my experience anyways keep up the good work
The mental game is real when giving up favorite foods, and developing the mentality to keep yourself on track is work that gets done every day. Thanks for this video.
Would definitely like to see some videos on the ropes!
I would love to see a video on the ropes. Not only does it seem a good way to get moving, it can enhance the mind/body connections.
is there a term for those ropes or you just use any rope that works?
@@quadism He’s using a jump rope. I guess any similarly thickness/length rope would work.
@@quadism There are youtubes explaining how to size and tie them if you purchase a normal rope.
That’s right man. And very low impact. I’ll do one soon
@@quadism rope flow or rolling rope
I've been doing keto for 7 years. One thing I would recommend before starting any dietary plan is a basic blood and lipid panel before and 30 days into it. Make sure everything is moving in the right direction.

Paleo makes a documented HUGE difference for folks with chronic inflammatory conditions and food sensitivities and all chronic modern diseases. I recommend the book by Dr. Terry Wahls. She's THE authority on paleo and reversed her own MS with it. She offers multiple levels of restriction.
I'd also offer caution eating too much processed food labeled as "paleo". While it has healthier ingredients, it's usually still processed. Become a label reader. If you can't understand or pronounce the ingredients, put it back.
The best thing you can put in your body is fresh whole food and nothing processed or full of chemicals. And avoid dairy, grains, and all forms of sugar except some whole fruit. Use mostly virgin olive oil and avocado oil and some coconut for cooking. You can also eat clarified butter that has the milk solids removed. It's easier and tastier to make your own with a double boiler than buy the nasty rancid ghee they sell in jars in the stores.
Love it bro!!
As someone in mid 20s I can say that unless you're clouding your mental clarity with too much caffeine, bad sleep, media over stimulation etc.. youll already feel a MASSIVE difference in capacity, recovery and bounciness of overall life!
Love sticking to paleo as a baseline and minimally going left & right to make use of momentum that 'giving in a little' gives. I currently value the momentum of saying YES more than the rigidity of NO. For ex. there's a "warming" effect to some grains like oats or heavy fiber-bound seeds like buckwheat or quinoa or black/red/wild rice. You can lightly ferment these to significantly reduce the sugars in them too :D !!
When I do go for oatmeal for ex. I wont do 90% oats but maybe 30%. Rest can be seeds like shredded flaxseed, chia, chopped up nuts galore and some cooked fruit like apple (cooked especially because it releases pectin fiber - great for gut) or banana.
Keep tinkering
I am in mid 20s and can't even fathom not having cheat meals. How is this possible for you? I guess reading the comments I am thinking, "do people actually eat like this?? LOL
Tell us about the rope.
I’ve been eating keto for the last 3 months. About to jump into paleo. Excited to see how my body responds!
Thanks for the content!
I’ve been off and on Paleo over the last 10 years and intermittent fasting for the last 5 along with it. I can honestly tell you this. I absolutely hate life when I do not take care of myself, or feel and look like a tub of shit. I fall into really bad habits due to just being lazy, which in turn creates anxiety followed by depression, weight gain, self pity and an overall poor outlook on things.
The Paleo diet with a 16 - 8 intermittent fasting schedule, working out at least 3 days a week absolutely works for mental health, physical health/weight loss, attitude and overall outlook.
There is something about sticking to it that maybe builds a confidence that creates momentum which in turn has no choice but to become a habitual way of living.
Great video.
I"m glad this woe worked out for you. I've had to eat carnivore for over 4 years. I'm allergic to gluten and feel best when eating no plants. I'll eat an occassional brussel sprout, pickle or olive. I can tolerate them. I work out generally 5 days a week at the gym. I eat little fruit or sugar. I'm 70 years old and feel great.
What I recommend is something proposed in “Diet Cults” called Agnostic Healthy eating. This means you start with a list of the healthiest foods and use trial and error to deduce the best diet for yourself. Each human has a u Jair ancestry and looking to your ancestors and their climate can be helpful as well. Try different combinations of macros, at different times, etc. Since you will have a unique genetic makeup and different lifestyle, exercise needs, age, sex, etc, likewise, there will be a unique optimal diet for each person. One person may thrive on dairy while another better to be vegan, etc.
I'd be interested in the rope flow. I'll be 70 in 3 days. I've been running for 50 years. I started lifting weights about 10 years ago. I wish I had started this earlier. I've been watching your content because of the mobility and flexibility along with strength.
Nice video- let me offer some insights. There are a couple of problems with the paleo diet. 1- there was no single diet shared by our paleo ancestors. Hunter gatherers who migrated to different climates varies significantly in their macro combinations. The Inuit are a diet that was primarily composed of fats, the Polynesians ate mostly carbs, and the Native Americans of Montana ate a protein heavy diet, for some examples. They are all healthy diets that matches their respective climates. Another issue is that humans have domesticated all of our foods from fruits and vegetables to our animal foods. Look up the wild cousins of the carrot, potato, etc and you’ll see what I mean. Also, animals have changed quit a bit since we began herding livestock instead of hunting wild animals, and one side effect of this is that domesticated animals have a much higher fat content, as just one example, so eating a lot of beef today will put a lot more animal fat in your diet than eating the same portion of a wild bison steak. My other critique is that humans have adapted since paleo times to be able to eat grains, beans, and yes, even dairy, if you are descended from north European whites, so it is not true that we cannot eat these foods, as the paleo diet suggests. Evolution did not stop after the paleo era. I hope some of this is helpful for your understanding. I recommend checking out the books “Paleofantasy” and “Diet Cults”- they are both excellent and cover these topics in detail. Cheers.
Have you ever tried paleo?
Paleo diet is a modern construct for all the reasons highlighted above.
I'm glad someone pointed this out
Great video, I'm going for a walk to think about this.
Love that 😁🙏
Thanks for another great tip guys!
I like the sound of this and will be sure to keep it in mind for in the upcoming g months.
I'm still on the "no sugar, alcohol, coffee" month for now, but honestly I need to pace myself... after a decades of eating all sorts, not necessarily terribly but not well balanced to say the least! Having done things like oats to hold onto rather than sugary cereal of deaded bread with a (albeit otherwise paced healthily) sandwich rather than a "subway"is I feel a necessarily stepping stone.
I think its important to point out whilst what you point out Josh is absolutely correct and very true, swapping everything overnight in attempt to better ourselves will have a large ratio of failure imho because lets be frank here, it's far more easy to take these in s steps rather than a straight up 180. Slow is smooth - smooth is fast!
As i say I'll definitely keep this in mind for the upcoming months, one step at a time in order to achieve a lifestyle the we can each be proud of to have made happen!
Sorry for the monologue haha, as someone who's spent his 20s abusing alcohol, junkfood and social media at the cost of my mental and physical fitness its nice to have the subtle clarity to step back and being able to pick out right from "easy"
Love from the UK guys, thank you for making the world a better place!
I like your face without the smoothing filter bro. Your a very handsome man and your profile is unique in that it has a beauty of it's own. The filter makes it perfect but takes away the different uniqueness that your beauty comes in. But also love your video. Much love!
A rope video would be cool! Please 🙏
I personally eat a whole food, plant based diet and feel great doing that. I think avoiding processed food is key.
I'm 40 years down the line, and you are spot on!
Great info! Thanks! Yes, please do a rope flow video. A beginners plan would be good. Just got my own rope. 💗 your inspiration!
I was actually thinking about doing some food “purging” and trying the paleo diet for a month so, crazy how you release a video like this during that time lol. And yes would love to see a video about rope flow
Lets do it 🤙🏼
Try it out brother!
Im at 2 meals a day scheduele. Also only with whole plant based foods.
Works super good for me.
I find myself very sensitive to carbohydrates. I struggle with controlling carbs on plant based diets. (By plans based I mean vegetarian)
Thanks for the vid. Really like that you are coming at it from a personal and tried angle and not “preaching or shaming”. Gives us an insight and the tools to make a decision to explore the idea further if we want.
Would love to hear more about the ropes and your journey and method with it please.
Well put Josh. Real foods. Nothing processed and no sugar. No more than 5 ingredients that you know and understand.
This is such an awesome vid. I'm super interested in a rope video. These videos on the results of a 30-day diet are really helpful too. You guys are awesome at showing the gentle truth, while showing some phenomenal benefits from the process. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thank you my man
Into paleo diet for 9 years now, and no chance to go back. Meat, eggs, fruit, vegetables, natural fats, nuts and occasionally dairy and alcohol. Works like a charm.
heck yeah
For past two years I been doing a variant of keto, Paleo and carnivore +18/6 intermittent fasting. My body fat on most days around 10.5%. the only dairy I get is raw milk, kefir or raw cheese. Feel pretty good for a guy in his mid 50's. I regularly run 4 to 8 miles as well as road bike and some weight lifting / core work. When I try to tell family or normies what I do they think I'm crazy.
yes they will call you crazy, because we are brainwashed about diet, this is not meant as an insult it is just true. We are at a point that our natural human diet is called 'crazy.' Do you consume any organs?
I think cutting out dairy is wise if you don’t have access to Raw dairy products. From what I’ve seen most people with dairy intolerance can consume raw dairy.
I’ve been on the paleo autoimmune diet since January and I haven’t looked back. With each food I eliminated I felt better and better. Alcohol, dairy and gluten were first years ago. Then this year all other grains, nuts and seeds, eggs, nightshades, poly unsaturated oils… I’ve never had so much energy. I’ve added back in a the occasional brown rice or aged cheese and nightshades, but thats it.
I am mostly blown away on how much easier cooking actually got. Way less options, but they all taste absolutely delicious and are relatively easy and quick to prepare. Just fruit, veg & meat. Easy. They taste so good and leave me feeling vibrant so it’s hard to get sick of the small selection.
Love it!
Thank you for this video. I started three days ago and my mood swings are gone. Also the pull to food is gone. For a binge eater, that's a big deal. I notice that wheat, grains and sugar is addictive for me. I listened to a podcast and the Interviewer said, "What do you say to people that say I want to enjoy sugar and flour from time to time and be happy?" The woman replied, "sugar is a poor proxy for happiness". That was so profound. Food is not happiness and is it worth the hit only to be miserable and overweight? For some of us, sugar and flour products are like a drug. I feel so much healthier just in three days. Depression and anxiety has completely lifted. Plan to continue. I had to be real with myself and admit that those things are triggers for me. I'd much rather feel happy mentally and be comfortable in my skin.
Hey Josh, as always, thanks for the insightful video! How are you liking the morozko forge, is it worth the money? Kind regards, David
Good day, you video have inspired me to stretch daily. I'm even practicing more floor routines to help with my balance & preparing for possible falls. I'm 66 and recently had a stroke and need more balance, flexibility and mind excercises. Your videos help with all these. I do like you rope routines and would like to see more. Thank you so much for your teachings.
Been on paleo now and I LOVE it..Ive tried many styles. Vegan for 7 years, vegetarian a few, Mediterranean, and now this. WITH THE EXCEPTION of grass fed organic dairy only, I feel great with it so i don't cut it. I feel the mental clarity too, its my favorite benefits.
Awesome video! I like Keto/wholefoods myself with a pinch of Intermittent fasting 🤪
You guys definitely got me intrigued about that rope and YES a video would de fantastic!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Intermittent fasting can be such a great tool I agree
I follow a carnivore diet. Plan to add fruits in the future. Been seeing great results since I started about 4 years ago (40kg weight loss).
congrats on eating your natural diet :)
Thanks for the diet update Josh! If you ever go back to more grains and legumes, would you consider trying soaking / sprouting / fermenting them to reduce anti-nutrients and report on your results? I guess this would apply for nuts and seeds as well.
Absolutely.
I would like to see a video on the lifestyle like carnivoreMD. Great video keep up the good work!
I'm a vegetarian and I eat 80-90% whole foods. I eat kind of low carb because I don't eat rice, rarely eat pasta, but usually have a slice or two of sprouted grain bread. I eat tons of veg and fruit but and rely on eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt for the bulk of my protein. My diet isn't as clean as paleo but since I cut out alcohol, sugar and most processed foods I feel great. I've been vegetarian for almost 20 years and have always eaten fairly healthy, but when I did a 30 day no sugar diet a while back it really changed how I eat.
Love it. Cutting out sugar is huge.
Definitely interested in the ropes. Also best way to get really into calisthenics. Basics! There’s sooooo much to go through! And definitely feel the best 16/8 and as close to strictly paleo as I can pull off. Though it’s been a long couple years!
Excellent speech on nutrition. I never heard about Paleo diet before, something similar not called Paleo. Bread 🍞 is hard. The rice 🍚 is not so hard to give up. Coffee ☕️ was and could be a little challenge and I can do it. Sweets I can do without. The Holy Spirit will teach and show me to fight 👋the temptations. The stretches are necessary and like weight rope as well as weight handle ball. They are great to use for work out. However 😏at this time I will use my resistant bands. 🙏🏽📖😇
You just have the best attitude. Love your videos.
Really appreciate this video. Believe it's so important to be a conscious eater and Paleo seems to have some great benefits. Thanks to you I got into rope flow and it's been a lot of fun these past couple of weeks. So yes please do a Rope flow video. Thanks to you and Trevor for sharing great movement information with us.
Great that you got into the ropes!
Yes, rope video please. Good stuff on this channel, keep 'em coming. Thank You!!
Nice video!!!
I recently started eating like this but had no idea it was called Paleo. The fourth day in I had the worst cravings but then I was good.
I implemented a cheat day in my week but by the time I got to that day I wasn’t really interested in the things I used to crave anymore. Not sure how long I will continue this but I definitely feel great.
I follow a whole food plant based lifestyle. I'm doing well.
Great videos!!!! I love watching you!!!
You make my day!!! Thank you for your generosity!!!
Would actually be really interested in a video showing your meals and prep etc whilst doing this
Nice idea
Would love to hear about your experience with the ropes. I got mine ordered and should be starting next week!
I have tried them all. Some are just plane stupid. Some are just telling us to leave the bags of crap out of our carts. now at 71, I am a flexitarian.
Love your videos, and this was a good one. I was completely drawn in by the cool rope moves and was immediately trying to figure out how I was going to copy those moves. I would really appreciate a video on that. I'm turning 60 and months ago I quit drinking, eating sugar and bread. I have done this before and I feel so much better every time I do. I didn't realize I have been eating paleo, but I am and it's very satisfying. Once you cut out the crap like alcohol, bread carbs, and sugar you feel like a high end machine.
I'm up for a flow rope video please !
Thx for all you do guys !
Gratitude!🙏
most fitness influencers have no idea about this stuff!!! this is great content bro, all they talk about is macros and counting calories to be healthy, but in reality, getting rid of processed foods and eating whole foods is the key!!
I believe that you are on the right side of sustaining health for a lifetime.
Your channel is generally great I’m so tired of the hipster anti gluten bull shit.❤
Great video man! I'm currently on another healing journey with food and Paleo has always been the savior of my mind and body. Currently dealing with a shitty diagnosis and really need to get to a place of health again 🤘 Gonna subscribe!
Dairy, grains are very, very easy for me to avoid. Processed foods are anathema to any kind of good health. Alcohol.............................not so much. I mix whiskey with water only. Hoping to eventually shed this too. Losing weight and my stomach has shrunk. I also have more energy and much clearer thought processes. I'm 57, male.
is it a habit to become addicted to alcohol at a certain age? every male in my family 30+ drinks beer everyday
I love this way of eating. It's a great framework to start eating healthy...once you've reached your goal you can flexibilize a little bit
I am currently doing whole 30 which is more restrictive than Paleo and I enjoy it a lot. Once my 30 days are up I will probably switch to regular Paleo because it is easier to sustain long-term. Tbh I am a million times less gassy and my mood has been fantastic. I struggled with depression for years and I think part of it may have been my diet. I can't say for sure but I definitely enjoy it
I've done the paleo diet thing as of lately but I'm still stuck on my coffee in the morning... is there any good alternatives to coffee that give you that same desired effect....
Love the content, you've been a real inspiration in me and my friends' lives. Thanks to everyone who helps produce this channel :)
Just curious, is there a backstory to the hash tat?
You guys are awesome!! Looking forward to the ropes video.
So true, less cravings and crashes. I feel happier with paleo.
Great video, i take a bit from Keto, a bit from Carnivore, and a daily fast. Seems to work great.
If you’re short on content ideas. A good subject would be The Horse Stance vs The Deep Squat differences ect…
The primal diet cured my increasingly worsening joint and muscle pain in just a few days. Sure, it could be a coincidence that it stopped right after I started this diet, but I highly doubt it.
Best health channel
Do you ever just do rope jumping as exercise? I found that when I was younger, say in my 20’s, that jumping rope for 5, 10, and even 15 minutes was some of the best exercise I’ve ever done. However, now that I’m 60 I’m not sure I can jump rope due to hip, knee, and ankle issues. 🧐
For sure! But yes jumping rope is way more impactful.
Try rope flow you will still get some awesome cardio benefits
I’m interested in food freedom & pro metabolic. Eating anything your body craves, in the best quality you can get without sweating it. As a menstruating woman…I find nourishment the most important path towards health, I want my body to trust me.
Read Mark's book years ago when I was training a lot, but gaining weight and feeling tired. Really benefitted me, became leaner and more energised. Slipped in resent years but back on the programme now. Mainly veggies, nuts and seeds. A little oily fish. I don't agree with everything Mark advocates these days, but just find what is right for you.
I would love to hear more about the rope and thank you for a great video!
Thanks Josh, great advise as always! 👍
I have multiple sclerosis and this is similar to the wahals protocol. It's helped so much
Roto diet: the point is that human digest system depends on ferments, which updated every 4 days. It means, that you need to consume one type of protein not more then over 4 days. For example:1st day animal protein (Chicken), 2nd day growth protein (beans), 3d day fish protein, 4th day vegan, and only then you can reply the same protein like in the 1st day....
Listening to you made a lot of sense, I knew deep down bread wasn't good for me but hot buttered toast was my go to breakfast, I gave up bread for a week and felt better I'm still adjusting to a new way of eating but definitely feeling the benefits
bread is pretty tough. I was just travelling the last 2 weeks and had some good sourdough bread here and there and boy it's tasty. Ultimately doens't make me feel great though, agree!
I do good with grains and dairy but the key for me for lower inflammation is to only eat organic bread and organic grains. Regular wheat products in particular is gmo and sprayed with glyphosates which trigger system inflammation. And the dairy I consume is local and organic only, but outside of that a Mediterranean/paleo mashup. Food is highly individual and mainly based on our ancestry and what we are evolved to eat.
Nuts, seeds and fruits cause inflammation :) fruit sugar is still sugar :). Love the concepts behind this video.
Any food causes a response that’s for sure
This has to be some of the best advice on diet I’ve heard period. I definitely agree with your points and takeaways. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Thanks !
You doing fantastic job man keep on doing a great job on doing for body movements and exercise stuff up there
Hi Josh, do you ever take any supplements?
I want to try a 30 day meal prep and see if that makes a difference in my weight! I’ve been making shredded chicken, rice and veggies (not always veggies) and it’s been helping me lose weight! I was down 4 lbs but gained it back. But I was drinking Dr Pepper so I’ll have to start tomorrow! I hope this helps me.
Hi, yes I would love to see a video to learn more regarding the ropes. Thank you
Looking forward for videos about ropes and it's benefits!!! Ive been following Timothy Shieff's content for the last few months and I always learn sth out of it
I think you should try the carnivore diet mate, I had great succes with it, mental clearity and feeling stronger than ever
Yes please . . . the ropes and portable high bar look really cool!
I haven't eaten red meat for approx. 7 years . . . and I don't wish to go back . . . is this adjustment to paleo feasible?
I imagine so. If you eat fish or chicken it's still the same basic premis of mostly veggies, animals and fruits!
would love to see how you feel trying paul saladinos animal based diet, its similar to paleo but with diary and honey, its great
Definitely considering!
Great video and really in line with the newest nutrition advice! Highly processed and full of additives food cannot be good for us and obviously causes also mental issues. This has been proven in regards to how our microbiom, which is currently considered an organ, affects our mental health as well. It was nicely summarized in 'Spoon Fed' by Tim Spector. I stick with these ideas even though I don't eat meat but have a lot of grains in my diet. However I always try to use in their least processed form. My diary and egg intake is minimal with the focus on whole foods plant based. Have been using time restrictive eating method for over 3 years now. Last year switched completely form consuming evening meals to mornig and seems to be working better. My energy levels are so stable I can go on for hours without eating even though I stay acive.
I appreciate you ss bros, thanks for the inspiration and yes to the rope!
whole food plant based has worked the best for me . been this way for over 10 years. feel amazing
Since I went "hyper carnivore" 70-80% animal products definitely been feeling more constant energy, no hunger cravings between meals, better sleep, better skin plus being a coeliac I don't eat gluten anyway!!
I was about to kick in to my research about the rope flow thing.. .i do skipping in a kind of really demanding level.. .but i enjoy a lot what you do with it.. .its a different approach to it as i can see.. .looking forward to it !! (:
I tend to follow the Mediterranean Diet. It’s been rather easy for me to follow and it’s got 50+ years of research behind it. I’ve tried the paleo diet from time to time, but I never kept it up for long periods of time. I felt pretty good while on that as well.
100% - Mediterranean and comparable diets are topnotch.
Yes! Please make a rope video.
Thanks for the takeaways on your paleo journey.
I enjoy your work. Content and vide you put off in your videos. Been watching since you started. Thank you for inspiring me.
Thanks for being a long for the ride
@@Strengthside thanks for having me. 😁
Bravo, boss! :D Great work on your nutrition! If you drop the potatoes and nuts, I think you’ll be doing keto, except that might invite butter back in.
Yes for getting started with rope flow!
I’ve done the paleo diet (without eating potatoes) and I loss a ton of weight. It’s takes a few days for your body to adjust and start to feel good though. I recently started it back up again and I’m already feeling good.
My body is sensitive to stress so it's very easy to see what is not helping or not. I switched my diet toward more fats that are not necesarily paleo, nuts, avocado, olive oil and I reduced flour, rice and when I eat them I make sure there are some fats in there as well. This seems to work better for me.
Ahhh I agree Mihai. Stress can make any food harder to digest
Since January, I'm strictly carnivore, after 10 years suffering from autoimmune disease, I'm having impressive results.
Yikes that’s awesome
Very inspiring. Thanks mate.
Been benefiting from the 18/6 intermittent fasting (thanks for that!), but more with a Mediterranean style diet. Have introduced some very lean meat back into my diet after giving it a 4 year break. I love a few oz's of filet mignon, but it's more difficult to digest, at least for my system. Enjoying home grown sweet potatoes now!
Yes please to more 'rope' info!!
Well somethings ha definetly changed because your skin looks much brighter and clear in this video, and it almost looks like the usual bagines in our eyes has dissapeared. Don't get me wrong Josh, I've always liked your content since I discovered your channel and find many great stuff and knowledge from the many things that you share with us, but one thing that has also intrigued me since I began watching your channel is that your skin, specially the one in your face looks very ashen and you have a sleepy expression in your face most of the time, and I'm like "Is this dude feeling as good as he's saying? 'Cause he sure looks like a person that hasn't slept in 2 days in a row" haha. Again, don't get me wrong, but if this changes in your face are due to your body "destoxifying" thanks to the paleo diet, I do think it's worth a try!
You are very relaxing to learn from.
