I played victim for the longest time, claiming there was nothing I could do to loose weight no matter how hard I tried. Had to be blunt with myself and get educated on everything i put in my mouth. Started this year at 230, now down to 195. Not stopping! Thank you!
Good for you
Keep fighting girl ❤
That's great to hear. Keep it up.
That's awesome! It's really important to not only eat properly but to also have the mindset you do now.
You go girl!
Was 268lbs. Subscribed to Thomas, 175lbs.
Awesome!
Knowledge is power 🙌👌👍
How long did it take my dude?
Weight training?
How much steroids did you take?
@@allenwestee8364 very minimum weight training/cardio. Once I got down to about 190 pounds. I started doing some resistance training and minimal cardio. It took less than a year I would say about nine months.
I'd love to see you rate the MOST unhealthy foods marketed as healthy... maybe vegan junk food or keto bars or something branded as healthy.
And Starbucks drinks!
I hate it when they have protein bars covered with pseudo-chocolate. If I wanted chocolate, I'd eat frigging chocolate (with a high amount of cocoa of course). Just give me a damn nice tasting bar without having it look like a Snickers!
@magusxxx there are some good (genuinely quite pure and not misleading) Chocolate bars. They have raw or roasted cacao, stevia (sometimes nuts and MCT).
@magusxxx I know! The "healthy version of snickers" has more odd ingredients than a traditional snickers bar. But I've seen a few healthier homemade versions if you're good at baking?
A lot of the vegan and keto foods out there are so ultra-processed that they are not even worth considering.
@@lolam.9291 I cringe when I hear a vegan yell, "We can eat Oreos!"
Visited my doctor 2 months ago and my weight was 249 and my glucose level was a 196. Tried making some drastic changes since as I'm trying not to become a diabetic and dependent on medications. Your channel has helped tremendously as I'm down to 231 now, still dropping weight. Thanks for uploads. They really help.
Thank yourself you’re the one doing the work.
Nice work JD! Keep rocking it!
If everyone eats once a day farma would go broke.
@@Blickster thank you!
You got me with the in in out. My favorite cheat meal. Sigh of relief.
It's unhealthy af. You won't go anywhere if you keep eating shit food
You just saved us HOURS trying to get ourselves informed - this is why I'm subscribed ❤ Thank you, team TDL!!
Even though I never eat this crap, I guess I watch videos like this to reaffirm why I don't eat this crap. Like a sober bartender constantly seeing reasons why they're sober... thanks for the video
Same me...I stopped eat this rubbish 5 years ago....only cook fresh food from scratch
I still eat from fast food twice a month especially friday nights
@@thunderjoy7250 I pre-season my meat, which also preserves it in the fridge. I'll cook up a day or two worth and eat it with about four eggs. When out and about, I'll stop at store and grab some olive bar. My kids love it too! We never go to the golden arch, Just stop at the olive bar and grab some sushi, then go to the park.
me too
I dont either .
Thomas looks great! Thanks for the info again. Also I like that the videos look so much smoother or something recently.
Thank you Thomas. Can’t remember the last time I ate fast food. But, in a pinch, I now see which to totally avoid and which might be an option.
I've been a health-conscious person for years now, but you still managed to blow my mind with this video.
Up until about 2 months I used to consume fast food for every meal of the day. I’m a truck driver and so it was very difficult for me to eat anything else. However, 2 months ago I just started eating less and less fast food gradually and stopped snacking so unhealthily in between meals and have gone from 222lbs down to 200lbs. That’s 22 pounds in 2 months and I have not made any drastic changes to my diet. I still eat fast food but on significantly rarer occasions (maybe once or twice a week) and I also don’t exercise whatsoever. Not even walking. I know I should but with my depression and with my job, it’s extremely difficult to make myself exercise. I share my story because I was someone who never thought they could stop eating fast food. I would always say it’s impossible and make up every excuse in the book. But I’m telling you, it’s so incredibly easy to start trimming weight once you take that first step.
I’ll tell you exactly what I do:
Breakfast 8:30am: Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl (500 calories or less)
Absolutely no snacks or anything in between breakfast and lunch.
Lunch 1:30pm: Usually either a grilled chicken bowl or grilled chicken salad (500 calories or less)
Maybe 1-2 100 calorie or less snacks before dinner.
Dinner 8:30pm (I get home late every day from working 11+ hours): Anything under 500 calories.
Absolutely no fried foods whatsoever.
Following this every day has led to me losing an average of 11lbs per month without any exercise whatsoever and I still eat the foods I want, just watch the portions and caloric intake. I still drink beer regularly as well. You CAN do this and you WILL lose weight.
You might want to try to make your own jerky. All you need is an oven…I buy decent roasts, slice them thin, then slow cook them when I have time(in the oven on a rack). All you have to do is open the oven every hour or two to get rid of the excess moister. I do season liberally with Lawry’s before hand. Stuff is awesome and can seriously reduce your daily caloric intake while providing a solid protein base.
I also make sardine salad sandwiches….just as tasty as tuna with far more vitamins and minerals with little to no mercury
very unhealthy job. was gonna do it years ago but sitting for even and hour without walking around is really toxic to the body. I can't imagine 12-14 hours of sitting and just sitting...
@@defaultworkouts fortunately I’m a local truck driver now so I have to do several stops throughout the day. The longest I’ll sit and drive is about 45 minutes to an hour and that’s only if there’s really bad traffic. Mostly all of my stops are anywhere from 5-25 minutes between one another. And I’m actually physically loading/unloading the truck at these stops. But when I was doing long haul, over the road trucking, I would be sitting and driving anywhere from 3-5 hours at a time and never physically loaded/unloaded the freight at my stops.
Just exercise and stop being lazy
@@xExtremeFrissonx uh, he sits all day driving...
So I'm a truck driver and eating out is the way. I listened to your videos about eating protein when eating at fast food places.
You broke my heart with the bloomin onion. I've only had it twice in my lifetime, but its so good.
In a nutshell: Just don't go to fast food places.
Exactly. The problem for a lot of people is that they still drink alcohol at bars and they get the drunken munchies and want/need to sober up late at night but the kitchen is closed so they just go to Micky D's or Taco Bell or BK etc.
So much of fast food consumption is connected to drugs and alcohol. If one is able to cut out all recreational alcohol/drugs and just exercise and eat low carb organic, you'll never have a reason to go through a fast food drive thru ever again.
I'm realistic though and realize that everyone goes through different stages in life and not everyone is in the phase where they can get through life without intoxicating themselves.
thank you for doing these videos, it really helps put things in perspective and know exactly why we should avoid these foods. it feels like the most self harming thing to do.
IN-N-OUT well done triple meat(no cheese) mustard, grilled onions protein style(no bun) is my go to! Hard to not get the cheese and spread(cuz they taste so good), but it is about the cleanest burger option in So Cal.
Glad you weren't too hard on In N Out because that's my cheat spot to eat lol.
Hello Thomas, I LOVE your channel! You give honest and informative info about foods, topics and products that I would've never given a second thought about and now I question everything...I'm 52 yrs old, 6ft tall, an 8yr Marine Corps vet. and currently a 25yr veteran police officer. I started my weight loss journey just after Thanksgiving 2022 at 385lbs. My biggest vice I'm ashamed to say was Mountain Dew soda pop...I mean REALLY, I was drinking 2-3 2 liters a day sometimes 4 on my off days from work for probably the last 23 years. When i was in the Corps I was 190-205lbs when i started with my police depth. in 98' I was 230lbs and well u know the end result. I made the decision to quit my liquid crack cold turkey after Thanksgiving due to my increasingly bad BP and knee pain. just from stopping the soda pop from then to late February I lost 25lbs. I don't really eat bad (as in fast foods, desserts or candy) or eat a lot of different meals everyday, but my thing was I would eat HUGE portions of whatever 1 meal I would eat that day. I then decided to go on a smoothie meal replacement diet for breakfast and lunch and have a moderate dinner at night...which was how I discovered your channel looking for smoothie recipes and discovered using liquid monk fruit and stevia powder as sweeteners. I am glad to say that the info I have gotten from your vids have changed my outlook on a wide variety of things and I can't thank you enough for that! As of this posting I am down to 320lbs and that's just from the elimination of sugar in my diet, my smoothie/meal plan and of course drinking at least a gallon (sometimes 2) of water everyday. I just had to find a way to make water work for me cuz I ALWAYS hated drinking it, especially room temp water, just not gonna do it! When I was in the Corps in Desert Storm, they used to have us line up and drink a whole canteen of warm water 4 times a day. I think that psychologically put me against water at all after that! I got myself a 1 gallon insulated steel jug, cut up a whole Cucumber, orange and lemon, throw them in the jug and fill the rest with ice then add the water. It's like a refreshing sports drink to me and i just refill it with cold water that i keep in the fridge so the ice lasts a couple days. I take that jug with me everywhere. My goal is when I get down to 300lbs I will then start a light cardio and stretching workout regime that I know I will stick with and slowly increase its intensity then later incorporate some weightlifting. I really didnt mean to type all this but something said for me to share, in fact my original comment after watching this video was gonna be to ask you to do a pizza restaurant chain / store bought brand best/worse comparison (PLEASE, I think that would be a good vid) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOURE DOING!!! Thanks sincerely from a grateful Jarhead!!!
For the mushroom burger, mushrooms soak up lots of oil so possibly they're using not a good oil
The worst thing is, whenever someone eats at a fast food place, they rarely only eat a burger or fries bny their own, but they combine them with various sugar and fat laden sauces, large cups of sodas and/or milkshakes plus sweet desserts!
So for a full fast food meal, people are really overdosing on fats and sugar in combination, sending their digestive system and metabolism straight into distress!
… and afterwards, wanting to take a nap 💤 😆
Yes, agreed. I could be wrong but I think why I see so many obese people is that so many are eating combinations of fast food or casual dining restaurants that seem somewhat reasonable - just a burger fries and soft drink but when looking at the macros, the combination of fats and carbs is ridiculous.
In the mid 1980's I read about partially hydrogenated oils (now known as transfat) and did everything possible to remove them from my diet and my family's - glad I did.
I didn’t know about partially hydrogenated oils until the early 2000’s. Since that time I’ve gotten them out of my house and I tell everyone about them. I can’t believe it’s still in peanut butter. I tell everyone to buy natural peanut butter and never to buy margarine among other things.
Great to see more of these informative videos coming in. Would love to see Thomas go through Costco's ORGANIC food offerings and critiquing them.
*what makes you think they **_need_** critiquing?*
*imo their organic stuff is a step up above their house brand, which is already the best around by far.*
*case in point: the organic eggs? rich orange yolks. (you want that.). the regular ones are yellow like supermarket non-organic/non-pasture raised eggs. & at $8.50ish for 2 dozen? yup.*
*same with veg (fresh/frozen). never been disappointed in anything. & their organic frozen strawberries are a gift from the gods*
flavecity does a pretty extensive "Bobby Approved" items sold at Costco. Most of the food at Costco is junk but if you stick with his list, you will be way ahead of the game.
@@kennixox262 *yeah... i dont live my life pper bobbys approval.*
*im smart enough to know how to read labels & shop for myself*
*and saying most of the food at costco is junk is an uneducated & ignorant comment.*
@@FranklySpeaking. Most of the foot at Costco is ultra processed junk. Bobby's thing is only a guideline. If you want to eat shit, fine with me. Somehow, I think you are one of those MAGA types who east crap and that may have rotted your brain. Bobby's thing is to educate those who might want to learn. I take it you are like Trump, Fat, SICK,STUPID - MAGA. Well, good for you. I would say that 80% of Costco food is ultra processed packaged crap and just got back from a Costco visit today.
I signed up for the VSHRED program! Saw some of your vids and decided to take the dive and buy your commercial one
Culver's single Mushroom & Swiss Butterburger is my jam. It's not healthy at all, but I don't eat sweets, don't drink, and otherwise do all the exercise and fasting needed to keep me in good health. If I die 4 months prematurely due to this delicious habit, then that is a FAIR exchange. 😅
No Culver's near me, but when I used to drive to Mayfield, KY I loved most everything they had and I made sure I stopped there every time I was in the area. Just from the brands Thomas talked about, I'm thinking trans fats may be somewhat addictive and have a flavor component that the makers are aware of, Either way, if I get north or they come south, I will have the guilty pleasure of Culver's again.
I e never liked any of Culver’s food. Very greasy and cheap quality.
I worked at Wendy’s as a teenager and their food was closest to homemade. Thomas featured a triple which not even 1% of their clients ate. He really should’ve used a single. It’s the one fast food place I would eat because of their freshness and whole food. I remember when we first got chicken nuggets and how much hype surrounded how they were make from just chicken breast and not processed, chopped into mush then formed into nuggets. It was all about quality back then.
@@remrocket2885 lol you're absolutely clueless if you think any fast food restaurant was close to homemade
@@remrocket2885 Culver's isn't low quality as far as fast food goes. They use higher quality ingredients than Wendy's, McDonalds, etc...
Culver's is the one fast food joint I still visit regularly. In 2020 I reversed pre-diabetes and went from 230lbs to 190, all while eating at Culver's once or twice a month. I currently fluctuate between 185-190lbs. I usually get a side salad instead of fries, but I eat various burgers (beef & veggie), the pork tenderloin, fish, and occasionally custard
The hardest thing about eating healthfully is finding places that serve single ingredient foods without salt-sugar-fat! I literally feel like I am imprisoned and keeping myself from harmful/toxic food keeps me home! But since following you I’ve lost 53#’s so far! TY❤
Yeah man, so true😅
I am here with you😢
You need to relax bro. Not leaving the house cuz you’re afraid of toxic food? Wow.
WWJEat? 😂
That’s why I eat before going out. I’m on ketogenic and fasting. I don’t eat until a certain hour of the day. On weekends I either bring some healthy nuts 🥜 with me or eat my high protein meal 🥘 for the day before going out. That way I’m not tempted to eat any fast food.
Yep, the best way to eat healthy is to cook your own meals at home.
Thx Thomas definitely we all need to know this fast foods do’s and don’ts 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks Thomas! 💪
What about the “Heart Attack Grill” in Las Vegas? 🍔
Great video today Thomas! You are my favorite nutrition expert in the world. Everyone inherently knows that fast food is bad for them, but do they really KNOW? I’m becoming somewhat of a food and fitness buff just going keto 3 years ago and following Thomas and others, but even I don’t realize some of this stuff. If we who geek out on this content don’t know, how are others rolling up to the drive thru gonna know? My Lord, food is KILLING people, when it should be mere sustenance.
Think about that. This should be criminal.
GEEK OUT!😅love that
In Canada, A&W is pretty solid going on a full tilt healthy fast food pitch in recent years with a menu very different from A&W USA. Still fast food but better than many of the other options. Although they’ve cut some things like they had KFC / Popeyes style fried chicken options but ditched that a few years ago at most locations. They recently upgraded many locations to have frozen root beer and other drinks but it’s basically a glorified slushy from 711, and it’s made fresh to order but it’s like frozen while being made? It’s weird… it’s not fast. I had to wait for mine and had finished my burger dining in while still waiting for my drink. They also got rid of the floats which was root beer with a scoop of ice cream in it, which was always much quicker to get. Although more often lately I just get water instead of soft drinks / soda popz
Wow very informative 👏 thank you, explains so much
Thanks! Are there any fast foods you recommend? I have chronic health issues so I want to know if there are any affordable fast foods (or freezer meals) that would be healthy to eat on days when I am not up to cooking.
While I derailed from keto, craving on the bad food, I stopped at McDonalds as I was hungry 🤤 I ate a triple cheese 🧀 burger and went for a walk. Over 3 weeks ago getting back into keto, I ate the same triple cheeseburger 🍔 took of the bun and ate only the burger. 10 minutes later I had a terrible stomach upset 😭. Since then I never 👎 ate another cheeseburger 🍔
Would love to see a video of your healthiest fast food choices when we’re in a pinch and have to eat on the go! Thanks 😊
I’d love to hear that myself. We traveled last week and it was a nightmare trying to find a healthy option.
@@ryanjsgrandma2009 I know😞here I was getting Wendy’s cheeseburgers with no bun thinking they were the healthier option and this video says otherwise!!!
For breakfast I occasionally grab the egg white grill from chic fil a, ditching half the muffin it comes on. Just don’t get the combo. Comes with greasy tots.
He kinda says what to do at the 13:30 mark.
It really depends on the place, really. Most of the time if a fast food joint has chicken, just get that, with sauce on the side or no sauce at all, throw away the bun. That's what I do anyways.
OR, get anything except what Tom listed here but make it your ONLY meal of the day.
It really doesn't matter unless you eat it like every week I probably have it 2-4 times a year. One meal won't kill you it's all about the amount you eat. I think people care way to much saying "ill never eat it again"
Great content, thanks for your efforts!
If I knew I only had one more day to live, I would dive right into that Seafood Platter😋🤖
Thomas can you please do a video on this new study released about sucralose being “genotoxic”
good job thomas! love your work
Still pumping out videos? Yes. Still helpful wherever you are on your fitness and anti-inflammatory journey? Yes.
Still never paid a penny, but have shared and sang the praises of your content to everyone that will listen. Thank you for your help.
Here in Sweden its forbidden to use trans fats since 15 years ago i think.
That's too bad.
How do you live?
Not here its about the money
So it's a nanny state.
I thought here in US it was banned as well. Clearly not. But I had heard of loop holes where there can be .5gs per serving but still say 0. Insane either way
I may be wrong, but as I understand it the bread and buns in most fast food joints contain more sugar than average so that when they toast them they form a hard crust that keeps the condiments from soaking in. We have a local chain in Washington state called Taco Time that has some decent options . I still love a Whopper with cheese every so often
Every single fast food establishment is unhealthy. Taco Time or whatever millions of others are called are complete shite for your health
Taco Time in Washington is my favorite fast food place. I believe they make their food fresh daily on site and it's always good.
Thomas, a similar video delineating fast food breakfast items would be awesome!
More videos like this. Really eye opening!
It baffles me how many calories these places can pack into a meal. Thank you Sir for outlining this.
Amazing science. I couldn’t believe the thick shake with 1800 cal!! So much bad stuff can be hidden in purchased food. Here in New Zealand we have similar problems with fast food as the USA. Our MacDonalds at least use grass fed beef which may be the lesser of some evils. BTW the Outback Onion things are not really Australian 🇦🇺. Australians also don’t actually drink Fosters beer 🍺 either. Lol 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 🇦🇺
Your video on make your own pre-work out is the best!!!
Videos like this are golden and help u with decisions
That Bloomin Onion is toxic. Years ago, I had a gift card to Outback Steakhouse. Went with a girlfriend, got the Bloomin Onion. Stomach was so messed up we both ended up taking a sick day. Still call that place 'Outhouse Steakhouse'.
This deserves a lol 😂😂😂
Bro I'm sorry but you're soft if a Bloomin onion made you take a sick day 😂
Yeah, the first time I had it was about 30 years ago when I was in junior high. Wound up throwing it up. Didn't order any food and just drank water while my fam and my buddies were eating their charred up steaks. To hell with Outhouse Steakhouse.
@@Eastunder My man, they use recycled oil that is MONTHS old to make it. You should be worried if it DOESN'T make you sick.
“Outhouse” LMFAO
Great post, Thomas! Would be nice to talk about KFC too. I’m curious about them… keep up the great work! 👍
Are you addicted to KFC? How often do you go to KFC. In n out is just behind my church, I stop by every Sunday 🤔
@@saintjulien6126 Very rarely go there, I just think it is another famous fast food brand that worth mention.
OMG, HAD CFC 3TIMES, IT WAS DELICIOUS, N TRRIBLY BAD F HUMANS😢
SAME ❤❤
Thank you!!! This info is priceless
I just gained 8lbs listening to this !😂
please keep making videos like these. This was a wake up call and reminder to not making it acceptable to eat fast food every week.
I’ve only been able to refer one person to Butcherbox in over a year but I highly recommend it too. That was good to see in your video.
Great content. Thank you 🙏🏽
Yep this is correct. Actually I noticed this 2 decades ago when I was researching low carb as part of the Atkin's Diet I was on for a spell. It seems at the time researchers noticed that men who consumed large amounts of fat and carbs had the highest incidence of CVD. They surmised that the issue was both fat and carb together is what was wrong with the standard western diet. If you picked just one to be high and then leave the other low, you were ok. Of course the issue with low-fat is satiety or the lack of. I tried low fat many times years ago and yes it worked, for a time. I starved most of the time, was always hungry and it forced me to add a thermogenic supplement to kill my appetite. I never stayed on low fat and gained back the weight faster than I lost it. It wasn't until I found keto that the weight came off and permanently. It's insane to see the amount of fat and carbs in some of these meals. That french toast at CCF is a perfect example. The one I make that tastes pretty much as good has about a tenth of the calories with 2 net carbs per slice of toast. It has about 6 gr of protein per slice with 8 gr fat (mostly from the eggs I use). There's no reason to add sugar and I sprinkle ground cinnamon which is a known anti-inflammatory spice. This is the primary issue I have with Southern cuisine - the use of sugar on everything. You want a bowl of turnip greens, make sure they leave off of the quarter cup of sugar they add to every bowl.
Interesting, I do not get satiated with fat at all, I last on good carbs for ours, fat I am hungry next minute.
Thank you for the reality check! I cast this video to the tv so my husband could hear this. We have the captain D's, Bojangles etc and I wanted him to see just how bad the menu items are and he really liked the way you explain everything. This is huge coming from him. He said you should have your on show on prime time like Dr Oz. did, and I totally agree! Long time subscriber and down 50 lbs. Thank you for all you do.
Media is bought by politicians and Big Pharma, Big “Food”, Big Sugar lobbyists. Way too many Doctors, Functional Dr’s and people like Thomas have been shunned from reg TV. Remember listening to Dr William Davis talk about that a while ago. It’s a shame - they don’t want you to be healthy - there’s no money in healthy people.
Very informative thank you
The 3 main reasons most food in the USA and the west has become un healthy is.
#1 The change from frying in lard to grain oils. Before 1970 most food was fried in LARD which is more stable than grain oils and has less trans fat.
#2 Most beef before 1970 was at least grass fed until finishing. All this beef will have higher Omega 3 oils and more vitamin D.
#3 GMO wheat flower. The current GMO wheat flower has a much higher gluten content of one type of gluten that keeps bread soft. It also sticks to the veins and arteries and is vary hard to digest.
It will pretty end buying store bought package foods. I don't mind it. I'm not missing it.
Wow shocking stuff. Thanks for the breakdown. I never eat fast food items but it is good you showed the details
OMG!!! WTF...I know I've been out of the drive thru/fast food eating business for 15yrs or so but darn it has gotten worse! How are these horrible things being allowed to be sold to people. And the addiction levels are off the charts. Oh my word 😥.
YEASH!😮
Population control - if they can kill you off with sweet yummies they will
This video is very informative. I had gallbladder removal surgery after gallstones were found in there after a trip to the ER. My body has had trouble processing fats and certain oils. Good to know what specifically to avoid whenever I do eat out which I don't like to often
I was 185......subscribed to this guy....now I'm 300lb.
I really like his videos
Would like to see one on all these "Healthy Choice" microwave dinners. Looked at some the other day and they claim low calories but all the sugar and carbs etc don't make sense. I bought a couple to try...one of those on the fly things...and they tore up my gut all day.
Ask yourself Is there such thing as healthy Microwave ready Meal ???
@@richard3693 exactly, the gimmick is the name.... It's like a box of Fruit Loops...all sugar but they claim it's healthy bc of 13 vitamins and minerals included.
Between the pandemic and inflation many fast food places have gourmet food prices now, especially McDonalds. The only two I would consider eating at are Burger King or Taco Bell, but only with a coupon or discount.
And the crazy thing is that the food quality of those fast food places seems to have gotten worse.
They have making people sick
Best thing I’ve done for my diet is totally stop eating fast food and only eating at restaurants a couple times a month
exactly, it's impossible to control what others do so I either fast it or do something like scrambled eggs if I have to be out
Moving to a rural location works well because you have to drive a long way for few options.
And better for the wallet 🔥
Yup. Years ago I was eating out 3 or more meals/wk. combined with drinking too much beer got me fat.
If that frequently. Restaurant food like fast food - YUK!
Very Informative!!!!
A Freddy’s Burger commercial broke into this video, love it.😂
I think sonic uses some kind of hydrogenated oils in their burger patties, Like actually mixed in with the meat before they cook it, so that it appears juicier or something. I get burger patties from Wendy’s quite a lot because it’s the only common fast food joint that uses straight up beef and nothing else for their patties and I travel all over the nation so a lot of the time I’m in hotels and can’t cook. I try to get hotel rooms that have kitchenettes but a lot of the time I can’t get one
I don't what they do. I tried Sonic twice and I didn't like their burgers either time. The second time is always to give a food location a second try. I haven't been at a Sonic in several years now.
Wendy's is the only fast food burger that tastes like a burger you cook at home.
Great food.
Thomas, you are looking great, with your full summer tan on. My diet greatly affects my physical performance. I can't imagine eating fast food on a regular basis in middle age, and not affecting my metal performance also. Great video!
metal performance... that is a good one!!!
not hard as bone, but hard as metal :)
The Shake you mentioned about extreme sugars & fats Id like to hear more about that & Saturated & Trans Fat - Great Video - Thank you
Loooooooove this videoo
It’s super fun, watched while fasted!
I wonder how much common stock of these companies are owned by Cardiologists, Heart Surgeons, and Oncologists.
Most are freemasons. Avoid corporate restraunts. Eat at real restraunts owned by actual people who are not dead set on killing us
Eggzactly BINGO!😮
Thanks for the video I'm grossed out. This should keep me away from fast foods for a while if not forever. I've been following you for a bit and I actually know where I can go to get better quality food if I'm in a pinch.
Hi thanks for the information
Butter what do think of Kentucky fried chicken? Is it a good option?
I admit that it’s nice to have info on fast foods. Many mainstream restaurants that are chains have zero info available about nutritional information, places like Cactus Club, The Keg, Earls, Milestones, etc as found in Canada…
I´m really enjoying this video! Often you are so crazy serious, but you were really funny here, specially on number 6... great to watch
Man, I have stayed away from fast food for well over a decade now, because I knew it was just low quality food, but jesus. These stats are ridiculous. No wonder everyone is huge.
Just want t say, I went state side from bigisland of Hawaii, where I lived, no fast food joints unless u went into town now here seeing so many huge folks know why😮
Now I'm fantasizing about fast food.
Your heart isnt😂😂😂😂
Very good video. Someone should make a video about top 10 healthiest food you can eat when ur on the go
The seafood joint looks like long John silvers here in the west coast.
Oh man, I used to get a Dave’s Triple protein style, mustard instead of ketchup, for lunch, thinking I was mostly in the clear. Never checked the specs on trans fat. Oof. Thanks for this one!
I use to order the Dave’s triple protein style as well. Since I’m on keto now, I just make my own burgers at home. I use keto burger buns so no more lettuce wrapped burgers anymore lol
@@miguelrobb5719 yeah, I hardly ever buy burgers anymore. I got a flat-top griddle for Father’s Day a few years back, so it’s homemade smash burgers for me.
Great video! This should be broadcast around the US to everyone. It is painful driving by a McDonald's or BK at lunch time and the drive-thru line wraps around the building. But it's all good they get a diet coke with it.
It is broadcast around the US to everyone. It's called UA-cam.
You can tell people how bad everything is but they don’t care and eat crap anyway.
I am one of those but I am only buying a large unsweetened ice tea. Only $1.😊😊
@@jjnelson2855 Amen! People are always assuming what others are doing.
Thank you for the information
Why is In-n-out in your photo and not on your list? I heard it’s actually one of the better options for fast food
From Hawaii t Westcoast, in n out
Junk in junkout😮
@Ginger Monroe shut your mouth. Nobody has time to cook and eat healthy all the time.
800-900 calories 'nightmare' he says.... me over here doing OMAD and thinking "oh that would help so much!"
Wow, the calorie content on some of those items was way more than I expected. That seafood platter is more calories than I've had in the last 2 days but it really doesn't even look like that much food.
You are right, you can't stress enough how bad trans fats and hydrogenated oils are. These corporations add cheap unhealthy fats to reduce costs and make their food more addictive; your wellbeing is the least of their concern. You simply cannot leave your health at the mercy of these companies.
WOW! Thank you for sharing brother.
If you want a good burger thats fresh, I highly recommend N and Out!
Thomas, one of many things I really appreciate about you is that you focus far more on substance (aka internal health) versus superficial things (like outward appearance). Nevertheless, as always, you look tremendous! You appear to be someone who has obtained optimal human health! So, let's say that you decided to only eat keto for the rest of your life....Would that augment your already great health, or do you think it would negatively impact your health?
I dont see how keto could hurt
I Gained Weight Watching This Video
😅🤣😂
Me too
😂😂😂
Can you go into more detail on why things have more trans fat at the fast food place compared to zero makingvit at home.
Oh wow some of these I’ve never even heard of before, and I’m a fast food connoisseur lol great vid now I know what else to avoid.
It is just crazy to me how so many establishments use hydrogenated oils instead of other options that do not contain trans fat, I did not realize how prevalent it was until watching your video and doing some more research.
Yeah, it really honestly feels like a conspiracy or some gestalt / default agenda. It is as though they're trying to do so. Okay, hopefully not, but in the long run it "pans out" as indirect murder. Bottom line? Well, it's NOT being "truly" very concerned for their customers. it's grossly, greedy, greasy, and inhuman.
Agree. As much as has been learned about these toxic oils, seems like restaurants would start using coconut oil or other healthier fats. I suppose their drive for maximum profits overrides incentive to utilize the healthiest options.
to be fair chain fast food already has the reputation of being unhealthy, its not like people typically care much about the specific healthiness of food that they already know and expect is unhealthy
@@randomprotag9329 What an unexpected revolution it would be for some fast food chain to take the bull by the horns & be the first one to promote the use of healthy fats & then lead by example. Unlikely, I know, but wouldn't it be a pleasant surprise? (Then there's the issue of the quality of their actual food product, so could go down another rabbit hole with that topic.) We're all better off just avoiding fast food & using whole foods to make our own recipes at this point in time.
@@suzannecrookshanks8257 its unlikely if health was the concern fast food would be a very different type of business in general to the point where it fast food chains would basicly end and be a different place with the same branding. yes avoiding fast food is what poeple should be doing make it yourself and theres control of whats in it and it can be tailored to specific needs if any.
Thank you, Thomas. It's no wonder the "Standard American Diet" is killing off so much of the world.
Could you please do a segment on same theme but for vegetarian options bad to worst. Ty😊
Hey Thomas , thank you for the great education. Always incredibly detailed .
Can you maybe speak of international
Dishes, worst and best . Maybe you already have and I’m not aware ?
My neighbors are of Filipino background.
Every time they cook . It’s so laden with grease and just so many things kind of unidentifiable. Just walking by their door on my way to the car , I get in the car and smell like grease and , well ..ya know .
I loose my appetite in seconds .
Great people , horribly bad food .
In n Out seems to be one of the best junk food.
British call them
"Take aways"
@@kathleenking47 In N Out is a Hamburger chain in West USA.
Smash Burger, Habit Burger are actually better and have all three within ten minutes of my home. Have not been to any of those places in years.
I get a few flying dutchmans every week. It's my little cheat meal on the weekends and I love the cheese 😂
I don’t eat out often at all. I’d rather cook at home and know what’s going into my food. Plus it tastes better 😂 every time I go get something out, it always makes me feel horrible after. Not saying I don’t like a good cheeseburger every now and then!
this video made me crave some tacos from Dairy Queen. haven't had any in 2 years. they suck and give me heartburn. screw it. i'll just make some bacon & eggs.
@@chuckleezodiac24 I had no idea Dairy Queen made tacos. Sounds like they wouldn't be great.
@@TheJokesterSCRyeah that’s news to me. Since when the hell did DQ start selling tacos!?
They are gross ate them a couple times made me nauseous I think the ground meat is very low quality or something with the oil
@@miguelrobb5719 what? in Texas, DQ tacos, have been around for 20 or 30 years... also nachos!
"With Texas, you expect to go big, and the Texas DQ doesn’t disappoint. Texas-exclusive offerings include (but are definitely not limited to)" --
The Hungr-Buster.
The Belt-Buster.
The Triple-Buster.
The Dude Chik’n Fried Steak Sandwich.
