Exercise physiologist here. Fruit is fine if it’s not in a juice. Eating fruit with the skin provides fiber and slows down how quickly the sugar metabolizes in your body, keeping your insulin and blood sugar from spiking. The best fruit to snack on are blueberries because they actually curb sugar cravings
I've heard it's also good for the higher glycemic fruits to pair them with a fat or protein, like some nuts or cheese. I have blueberries every day with kefir and either oatmeal, eggs, or a low sugar cereal.
Thank you, David, you’re doing the Lord’s work here mate! I’m 23 years old and now having the time of my life! I used to workout for like three hours a day in the evening and then eat whatever a came across, so I was always in a skinny fat stage. With your workout and nutrition tips during the whole Bond 25 fitness challenge, I’ve managed to get a lean, healthy, and functional body, and that has improved my mood tremendously! now I workout first thing in the morning before work, so I have to wake up at 4 am and that has fixed my sleep schedule too! Since it was all messed up during college. Keep up the amazing content!
I quit eating meat a few years ago and never looked back. Also dropped from 250lbs to 180. That said, I really don't think it was eating no meat, but filling in the gaps with whole food fruit and vegetables. You can be a junk food vegan, or you can eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day and enjoy some Greek yogurt, and moderate cheese and eggs like I do. Also, don't forget the whole grains. Oatmeal with berries every morning. The fiber isn't only good for "movement", it feeds the good gut flora.
Never thought I'd be a fan of spinach until watching a crossfit athlete fry some with eggs. It tastes similar to seaweed and now I enjoy it both fried and fresh with light dressing, raisins, nuts and grapes. The Mediterranean diet is appealing as I am a big fan of fish/seafood, fruits, nuts (cashews in particular), vegetables and Italian food is my favorite. Combine the solid diet with four to five days a week at the gym, ample time on the Concept 2 rowing machine and outdoor recreation, hopefully I'll have more of Bond's physique opposed to Oddjob's :)
Thanks for this! I too, am going to commence the same journey: to be the best I can be! At my age now, I know I'm never going to have the figure of a Bond Girl, but I'm sure I can make massive improvements!
The cool thing about these kinds of videos is, it’s truly a lifestyle including in the decisions we make, like how we eat and how we train haha. I track my macros, lift weights 3 to 4 days a week and like to ride my stationary bike, as well as go for walks. I’ve gotten a lot leaner and feel more healthy. Great video David!
My nutrition journey has been a journey for me. I used to be a competitive swimmer and could eat anything and everything and not worry about putting on a pound. When I "retired" I almost put on 10-15 pouds before I put together a plan. I combine the slow carb diet from "The 4 Hour Body" with intermittent fasting and "Fit Men Cook." I try to limit my carbs and focus on veggies, beans/lentils for lunch and dinner, I have a heavier meal that has meat in addition to more veggies.
Excellent David. Hope you do more updates on this topic. I really liked how you plain speak the importance of eating right and gave your personal experience. Nutritious and Delicious 007 could be a whole healthy side hustle. After all, no one only lives twice😎
Thanks David really got me thinking about what I consume. Am 60 . Go to the gym 5 times a week , but starting to put on gut weight . really need to get eating better, this is going to make me change my habits. 5, 10 . 12 stone ..
I try to eat the exact same thing every day from when I wake up till the end of work, that way I know exactly where my macros are before dinner, at which point I let myself eyeball it more or less. I’m blessed to have a freezer full of elk which is a staple in our diet. Something about wild meat just makes you feel better than farmed meat. Lastly, minimum 1 gallon of water per day no matter what.
Great advice, David. I share some similar views as you on nutrition. Here are the main things that have worked for me (some of which you already discussed): 1. Portion control. Standard meal sizes in the US are usually too big. If you’ve ever traveled to Europe, for instance, you’ll see the difference! Adjust your meal portions so you’re not over-eating. 2. Slow down. It takes approx. 20 minutes from when you start eating for your brain to send you the signal that you’re full. It’s very easy to over-eat when you go too fast. 3. Cut out soda/sugary drinks. They’re even worse than sugary foods because they have zero nutritional value; at least with foods you’re getting some sort of sustenance. In place of soda, I drink a lot of sparkling water such as LaCroix, along with just regular water. 4. Junk food and sweets should be viewed as occasional treats, not dietary staples. As a general rule, keep them out of the house, so you’re not tempted. 5. Life’s too short to deprive yourself of something. Treat yourself (in moderation) on a regular basis.
Hello David, I wanted to take a moment to reach out and connect with you. As someone from Perth, a city you are no doubt familiar with, it is rare for me to come across an American who is also familiar with my hometown. I must say, your videos really resonate with me, and I appreciate the genuineness that you bring to each one. You are an amazing man, and watching your content inspires me to live my best life. Currently, I am following a high protein, lower calorie diet to help me shred a little, and your videos have been an invaluable resource for me. Thank you for all the hard work you put into creating your content, and I am excited to continue following your journey. From sunny Perth, Phil.
Love the nutrition ideas and baseline rules. Telling yourself “I’m not someone who eats/drinks this or that” is very powerful psychology to apply to remain disciplined and consistent. Also would be great to see Danielle’s recipe book (if they aren’t for her eyes only…) I live by the same philosophy that I’m not a model, celebrity, or fitness influencer so I allow myself to indulge in less healthy options in moderation (ordering out 2 dessert maybe 1-2 times per week). Keeps me as sane as an hour on the dream machine.
I'll be turning 58 in June. I lost my younger brother and two close friends in the past two years. All three deaths were a result of neglecting/not prioritizing health and fitness. I've always been a fitness minded person (I'm a retired Marine Infantry Officer) but not necessarily regarding my diet. Since the New Year, I've been doing intermittent fasting where I limit my eating to a fixed window normally between 11AM and 7PM at night. It's pretty simple. Skip breakfast and don't eat two hours before going to sleep. I've found that the adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a lie, unless you're a person like a farm hand, who expends a lot of calories in the morning. I've gone for 20 + mile road cycles without eating breakfast and my energy is not affected. I try to eat a high protein, fiber/vegetable heavy, low/moderate carb, low sugar diet. So far so good! Give it a try David! Thanks for all the great content!
I have the fight club body maintained throughout the year. I eat below maintenance every day, I 16/8 basically daily, and most importantly I get every vitamin and mineral required in my eating windows. I can’t recommend anything more than fasting for taking control of your habits and therefore journey Unfortunately for the Bond body, alcohol just can’t really be around more than once / twice a month - something has to give.
My problem is too much red meat and too many dry martinis! 27, always been incredibly skinny and now I’m putting on some weight. Time to shape up! Thanks for all you do, David 💪
Thanks, David. Awesome video with great advice. It’s so hard to eat healthy in today’s society, what with all the junk food out there that’s so easily accessible. One thing that I do every day is make a kale smoothee with a handful of kale, a cup of frozen fruit, some protein powder, flaxseed, and some stevia and maybe some ginger or other flavoring. You can change it up so it never gets boring.
Another great video David. I agree with you. Don't deny yourself the great food of your wife. With moderation you can still have the Bond body and live the life you want!
Great content David! I'm always good at getting to the gym and lifting weights. During the Winter (in Eastern Pennsylvania), I find myself overeating all the great Italian food around me. Each Spring I go on the same slim-down diet. Basic protein and green vegetables. I can drop 10% of my body weight in 3 months. We're around the same age. I've become increasingly concerned over this annual shift in BMI. This year my focus is on maintaining a healthy waistline while continuing to strength train.
Thank you, sir, for the information and motivation. As a 60 year old male, I'm extremely interested in how other "seasoned" individuals are getting in shape (round is the shape I am currently) and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Much appreciated!
Late to the party. I’ve just seen this video and yesterday watched the one from last year when you and two guests shared some before and after pictures showing the success in your journey. Congratulations and thank you so much for the tips and inspiration. 🙂
Another chapter of the Bond experience: David Z takes us to Shrublands!😱 Seriously, all good advice and something that should be lifelong practice. David, the key you mentioned several times is balance. Bond in Fleming’s books often is out of balance and it is in those times he is in the most danger. Our world is dangerous in the same way as Fleming’s world of WWII and the early Cold War, but individually we are unlikely to face regular life and death situations. 16:33 Thankfully, I left that world years ago, but I remain convinced a mind-body balance is essential for everyone including mere, wretched pensioners like myself. Thanks for a great channel! Cheers JR Seeger old warrior/new novelist
All great stuff David! Especially eating slowly which is my downfall, I tend to eat too fast. Thanks for the reminder. Sticking to a "diet" is nearly impossible but eating by a few core principles is easy. When I was a personal trainer, I would give these diet principles to my clients instead of an actual diet. 1) If a food has a commercial, don't eat it! 2) If a food has more than 5 to 7 ingredients and you din't make it yourself, don't eat it! 3) If a food has any ingredient you can't pronounce, don't eat it! 4) If a food has an ingredient that has a number in it, REALLY don't eat it! I eat a mostly Mediterranean diet, whole foods, fresh and natural with a lot of cold press extra virgin olive oil. Just like your chicken and spinach bowl.
Chicken Brest, Broccoli and rice for lunch and dinner during the week, no breakfast or maybe a smoothie and or intermittent fasting until lunch around 2pm. Dinner at 6pm and gym from 7 to 9 Tuesday to Sunday. Only drinking black either ice or hot coffee, water or green tea. No alcohol ,if I’m at an event where people are drinking then I drink no alcoholic beer or tonic water and ice .
Rather amused, you and I have the same prepped meal. I do chicken sausage and sweet potato (roasted with cayenne and thyme), spinach, a green apple, olive oil and balsamic, black pepper and walnuts. Maybe an avocado. Ridiculously tasty and good. Best macro bowl ever.
Always enjoy your nutrition vids David! I’ve commented several times on many of your vids and IG posts pertaining to this subject. I’ll be 51 in a few months and proper nutrition and exercise is a continuous struggle for me. A lot of it has to do with just having a “busy” life. Work (12+ hours a day), kids, extracurriculars, etc. I know many of those can turn into “excuses” if I let them. It’s finding that balance that can be difficult. But I don’t give up! I do have a question though. How do you measure calorie intake as far as getting “healthy calories” and not go into a calorie deficit? Thanks again for this David! 👊🙌
Great video! Doesn't hurt to be reminded to eat slowly. Fruitwise, I do get in some grapefruit juice daily as it might ward off the cove and I also have some blueberries for their antioxidant features (but without the muffin, pancake or other less healthy stuff). When it comes to protein: hello protein shakes, protein bars (sorry, less healthy than whole foods) and more healthy: chickpeas. Vegetables I try to get a variety in to hopefully benefit from all the different micronutrients they contain as well. Do have my daily chocolate pieces, but they contain magnesium (I think), so they're super duper healthy as well. Not a fan of cooking, so I tend to cook 2 meals in one go to heat up the second one the next day. And to hopefully not lose too much muscle while being in a calorie deficit, I do strength training to tell my muscles they're still appreciated.
Cracking video. An idea for content with the possibility to mix it up with Joe Darlington, Calvin Dyson is to do a video exploring when a Bond film makes another Bond film better or makes it worse. :-)
Hi David, why not try to eat all of your carbs in the morning,whtch will be pocessed early & will make it easy to burn your carbs off while your up & not converted to sugar.Why try eating every 2 hours just to change things up and try o stick to protien heavy intake so as your busy working. Just something to think about? I always find grazeing as apoise to binging? great poast good luck on your new nutritional quest.👍
There are those who suggest monkeys living in trees were never meant to eat meat. But in my experience, denying the body of things only makes the body crave them even stronger.
David you nailed it. Don't deny yourself totally the finer things. No sugar diet? Someone pushes a slice of decadent chocolate cake made my a world-class pastry chef your way. You really want to know what it tastes like. What do I do? I take a forkfull, and taste it! And then what do I do? I stop there.
Hi David! My wife, daughter and I just returned from a very Bond-vibed holiday to a Fijian island. One of the best experiences was a beautiful high-tea by the ocean. I'm not a huge tea drinker, but I am a big Casino Royale fan, so the Rooibos Madagascar Vanilla Pyramid Tea got my attention. It was delicious, but supposedly caffeine free. Definitely worth a look! They're from Tea Total.
Omg I love your Water bottle! Thing is I have a sweet tooth. Used to drink coke every day. I then completely cut it out. I drink juice and water. I'm on a push pull program but I was following kinobody. Have you by any chance tried Daniel Craig's work out? I feel Daniel Craig is the only Bond that had a decent physique. Although Sean Connery was a bodybuilder for a while. He was a bit more wiry but I remember seeing pictures of him doing handstands on the set of Dr No. Also George Lazenby was in good shape as he was a model and taught unarmed combat in the Australian army. You seem to look good for your age. Right now I'm skinny fat.😢
Would love to talk to you about this because I feel like we're on the same journey. I had been bulking but a mix of holiday sweets, stress and more carbs than expenditure were getting to me. I'm three weeks into a six week shred and I'm already seeing big results. Cut back on the carbs, the only fruit I have is bananas in a smoothie or an apple in a macro bowl, and just started throwing handfuls of spinach into nearly every meal. Cut back on the drinking maybe 20% (not too much, I like my rum). But it's a good feeling to be leaning out.
My wife uses Chickpea pasta which I was against on general principle until I realized I couldn't tell the difference. Eliminate the white carbs and sugars without making any noticeable sacrifice!
Great video David ❤ I don’t drink Coffee but I do drink redbull I tried coffee for some reason it still make me sleepy but redbull do wake me up I work 3rd shift as a security guard my question is should I still drink redbull? Are they bad for our body?
Yes Red Bull is awful! It has a ton of sugar and a lot of chemicals. Try espresso. I drink 2 double espressos every morning. Also try organic ginseng powder and organic maca powder, both are powerful energy boosters. I was personal trainer and I'm a full time kung fu teacher. I help people with fitness all day long. Also what is your exercise routine? Exercising more will boost your energy.
@@yestoadventure007 at home I do basic exercises some push-up and set up not much cause during the day i sleep for work and at work I do alot of rounds meaning walking alot im 5.6 weight 190 pound but Thank you im gona stop the redbull and try out what you said 🙏🙏🙏
Great topic!🇫🇮 To be completely honest, Craig has aged terribly. It is perfectly possible to have your health, great body and look young when you're 50 or above. For some reason Bond actors seems to age quite fast. Edit: What comes to alcohol in general, it's a touchy subject but also a subject that varies wildly from person to person - some people simply digest alcohol with less harm than others. I don't think anyone thinks alcohol is healthy but in moderation for most it is fine. My diet is mostly vegetables, meat and some fruit and lots of grains. I drink a lot of water - but not so much to flush nutrients in the process. I just take a multivitamin + D-Calcium daily. One think that people 'in the west' seem to forget almost always - portion size. A grown adult male does not eat huge meals - here in the Nordics the portion size is like 1/5 of what peeps in the US eat (I have worked in the US a lot but I live in Finland).
Three words to lose weight: My. Fitness. Pal. You have to count your macros. If you are in even just a 1 calorie surplus everyday you will gain a lot of weight over time.

Yes. I’ve never heard of anyone getting fat from
eating fruit 🍎
I've heard it's also good for the higher glycemic fruits to pair them with a fat or protein, like some nuts or cheese. I have blueberries every day with kefir and either oatmeal, eggs, or a low sugar cereal.
Is juice pretty much candy?

Goldfinger on nutrition: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to digest!"
No Time to Diet 😂
I quit eating meat a few years ago and never looked back. Also dropped from 250lbs to 180. That said, I really don't think it was eating no meat, but filling in the gaps with whole food fruit and vegetables. You can be a junk food vegan, or you can eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day and enjoy some Greek yogurt, and moderate cheese and eggs like I do. Also, don't forget the whole grains. Oatmeal with berries every morning. The fiber isn't only good for "movement", it feeds the good gut flora.
Never thought I'd be a fan of spinach until watching a crossfit athlete fry some with eggs. It tastes similar to seaweed and now I enjoy it both fried and fresh with light dressing, raisins, nuts and grapes. The Mediterranean diet is appealing as I am a big fan of fish/seafood, fruits, nuts (cashews in particular), vegetables and Italian food is my favorite. Combine the solid diet with four to five days a week at the gym, ample time on the Concept 2 rowing machine and outdoor recreation, hopefully I'll have more of Bond's physique opposed to Oddjob's :)
Thanks for this! I too, am going to commence the same journey: to be the best I can be! At my age now, I know I'm never going to have the figure of a Bond Girl, but I'm sure I can make massive improvements!

Doing Keto has worked well for me. Focusing on protein and fiber with a minimal amount of carbs and sugar has given me a lot more energy.
My nutrition journey has been a journey for me. I used to be a competitive swimmer and could eat anything and everything and not worry about putting on a pound.

My diet is similar to yours. I've been on a hot sauce kick lately to add change my meals up. No calories and better than salad dressing.
I try to eat the exact same thing every day from when I wake up till the end of work, that way I know exactly where my macros are before dinner, at which point I let myself eyeball it more or less.

I eat too fast as well! One of my issues. Thanks for these tips.
First time I saw the first food video it changed my diet a lot. This one really brought back memories and reinforced what ive been doing.
Thank you for this video, David! A diet being off is one of the biggest issues with weight loss.

Love these videos cheers David. Keep up the great work. Very motivational for me thanks.
David, please, can you answer, I’ve probably missed it somewhere but who do you work as in your main time? Thanks in advance for your answer
"Bond nutrition?" That would be 70 cigarettes and half a bottle of spirits a day; and a diet consisting of scrambled eggs and black coffee.
Hi David! My wife, daughter and I just returned from a very Bond-vibed holiday to a Fijian island. One of the best experiences was a beautiful high-tea by the ocean. I'm not a huge tea drinker, but I am a big Casino Royale fan, so the Rooibos Madagascar Vanilla Pyramid Tea got my attention. It was delicious, but supposedly caffeine free. Definitely worth a look! They're from Tea Total.
Drastically reduced caffeine intake. I feel better.
Any particular brand of ginger powder?
Really enjoy your shows
Omg I love your Water bottle! Thing is I have a sweet tooth. Used to drink coke every day. I then completely cut it out. I drink juice and water.
I'm on a push pull program but I was following kinobody.
Have you by any chance tried Daniel Craig's work out?
I feel Daniel Craig is the only Bond that had a decent physique. Although Sean Connery was a bodybuilder for a while. He was a bit more wiry but I remember seeing pictures of him doing handstands on the set of Dr No.
Also George Lazenby was in good shape as he was a model and taught unarmed combat in the Australian army.
You seem to look good for your age. Right now I'm skinny fat.😢
breakfast-egg whites with spinach, tomato, black pepper, avocado oil and tabasco; lunch white meat chicken breast with a simple salad.
Eat the yolks. They hold a ton of nutrition and are actually better for you than the whites.
My diet is similar to yours but I should slow down on the beers and carbs lol. Very inspiring video. Thanks David.
Beer is no bueno for the physique.
I am eating a donut watching this lol
How many calories are you eating?
Are you tracking at all?
Would love to talk to you about this because I feel like we're on the same journey. I had been bulking but a mix of holiday sweets, stress and more carbs than expenditure were getting to me. I'm three weeks into a six week shred and I'm already seeing big results. Cut back on the carbs, the only fruit I have is bananas in a smoothie or an apple in a macro bowl, and just started throwing handfuls of spinach into nearly every meal. Cut back on the drinking maybe 20% (not too much, I like my rum). But it's a good feeling to be leaning out.
What’s your thoughts on Apple Watch/fitness trackers? Hard to give up the mechanical watch
Thanks for your content !
Hmmm I heard Tequila, cookies and Red stripe. Done and done, off to the shops. 😊
My wife uses Chickpea pasta which I was against on general principle until I realized I couldn't tell the difference. Eliminate the white carbs and sugars without making any noticeable sacrifice!
I need a video that takes me from how to get from Whisper/Goldfinger bod to Daniel Craig...
Tequila is amazing. Smooth, and no bad hangovers like other hard liquor..
How do you cook the sweet potato, Baking?
I am gluten-free- too, and with celiac!:)
Great video David ❤ I don’t drink Coffee but I do drink redbull I tried coffee for some reason it still make me sleepy but redbull do wake me up I work 3rd shift as a security guard my question is should I still drink redbull? Are they bad for our body?
Yes Red Bull is awful! It has a ton of sugar and a lot of chemicals. Try espresso. I drink 2 double espressos every morning. Also try organic ginseng powder and organic maca powder, both are powerful energy boosters. I was personal trainer and I'm a full time kung fu teacher. I help people with fitness all day long. Also what is your exercise routine? Exercising more will boost your energy.
@@yestoadventure007 at home I do basic exercises some push-up and set up not much cause during the day i sleep for work and at work I do alot of rounds meaning walking alot im 5.6 weight 190 pound but Thank you im gona stop the redbull and try out what you said 🙏🙏🙏
Virtually the same as my diet
Sun's out. Gun's out! 😂❤
Right, drink more tequila. I've got it. 😃
Why are you getting up at 3 AM and having coffee?
Great topic!🇫🇮 To be completely honest, Craig has aged terribly. It is perfectly possible to have your health, great body and look young when you're 50 or above. For some reason Bond actors seems to age quite fast.
Edit: What comes to alcohol in general, it's a touchy subject but also a subject that varies wildly from person to person - some people simply digest alcohol with less harm than others. I don't think anyone thinks alcohol is healthy but in moderation for most it is fine.
My diet is mostly vegetables, meat and some fruit and lots of grains. I drink a lot of water - but not so much to flush nutrients in the process. I just take a multivitamin + D-Calcium daily. One think that people 'in the west' seem to forget almost always - portion size. A grown adult male does not eat huge meals - here in the Nordics the portion size is like 1/5 of what peeps in the US eat (I have worked in the US a lot but I live in Finland).
It's called T and D-ball.
Your missing the TRT
Avoid processed food. Enjoy everything in moderation. Move.
Reposado es fantastico!🎉
Three words to lose weight: My. Fitness. Pal. You have to count your macros. If you are in even just a 1 calorie surplus everyday you will gain a lot of weight over time.
Do you like champagne 🥂?
No Time to Di-gest
Juiced to the gills.
I also enjoy Epsolon. But if you're a tequila guy, try Cascahuin. It's fantastic.
