You don't need to be 100% perfect, aim for 80%, leave the rest for when you need to go to a restaurant or have no other option
Choosing your restaurant & dish wisely makes a big difference, some restaurants will even prepare you something somewhat "clean" and healthy if you ask for it specifically. The best thing of course is to go out to eat as little as possible.
I found that when you buy healthy foods it's even cheaper. But maybe it's different here in europe. When I travelled to the US I found that it's really hard to find good food there. Also when you start eating healthy and you unaddict from bad food, bad food will discust you.
gimlisrage5 Couldn't agree more. I'm from the UK so we don't exactly have a reputation as the healthiest European country. However whenever I've traveled to the States I'm shocked at how much worse it is there. Junk food in shops and restaurants is really pushed on it's citizens, to the point it's almost sinister. At least in the few different states I've visited. Also the advertising is crazy! I can't believe some of it is even legal! It's a wonder they aren't all obese, I think I would be if I lived there.
I do think healthier food is a bit more expensive in the U.S. but it's still manageable, especially with local farmers markets and more health food stores cropping up. Junk food is WAY pushed here, but it doesn't mean you have to eat it just cause it's being pushed on people. I also noticed that after eating a healthy diet for quite some time that junk food actually tastes quite strange trying it again.
If you start eating mindfully, you will start to enjoy simple and subtle tastes, and over time you will develop sensitivity for those. Then things like pizza, diary and so on will become overwhelming to your senses, and there won't be desire for similar food. When you discover that you can put olive in your mouth, close your eyes and really feel all beauty of it's taste, the whole new world will open up for you
Filip Djurkovic I tried to keep eating like shit (pizza, pasta, burgers, chips, soda and so on) but working on my awareness has made it basically impossible. After a single day of returning to my old, unhealthy diet, I feel so groggy and tired and bloated, I can't wait to eat better the next day. The key for me has been awareness over the day and tons of research, so I can just remind myself how it feels and what actually happens in my body when I poison it with wheat, sugar and dairy.
MelleBreak Well, gluten may not be problem for you, because everyone is different. I sometimes make my own bread from whole grain barley flour and water. And I eat oatmeal almost every day. You see, both oats and barley contain gluten, but I don't have any problems. Just listen to your body, it will tell you. But your body may be overwhelmed by unhealthy foods, so you cannot spot the signs. Then first purify your sistem with vegetables, nuts, meats and fruits (remove sugars, grains, diery, potato and rice). Then after two to three months try to bring back some grains, but keep it low. Anyways, I still avoid diary and wheat no metter what. It realy makes me sick
Veganism is dead, all are going to carnivore and experiencing true health. My bet is that you already left veganism or that you have serious brain fog, bad joints, bloating and no sexdrive. So are you still vegan 7 years later?
LEOOO !!! You are an incredible humanbeing coming up with all this content from scratch !!! I could write a 2000 paged book about how much you have changed my life and their would still be way more I’d need to say !!!! But you have literally transformed my life with your video advice and book list etc and just want to say a MASSIVE thank you !!! I know you don’t care about money anymore but when I reach my financial goal in a few years I will 100% be donating a large chunk of it to you !!! Or if I fail at it I’m sure I’ll maybe change the world in a few decades time some how and it’ll all be all thanks to you !!!! But thank you man YOU ARE DA BEST !!! Maybe we’ll meet someday when we’re both high level sages that would be hilarious 😂 but thank-you your content is utterly life transforming and I am very grateful !! Xxx
Dont get depressed by cutting out all this stuff!! You can make ALL of your favorite foods from WHOLE FOODS PLANT BASED ingredients. Even from raw stuff. You can still eat pizza, cake, icecream etc. Just make them with proper whole food ingredients!! THIS IS A SKILL!! I eat all organic, plant based, within the guidelines mentioned in the video 99% and these days I can eat AS MUCH CAKE, ICECREAM, PIZZA AS I WANT and all the other good stuff. I make all my food whole foods, sugar free, low heat cooked. You can make cakes with zero sugar and zero trashy ingredients. Its fucking amazing. Just get educated on it. UA-cam is full of this. Just look for "whole food plant based ->name of the food you want
If you do them well they dont :P but I know what you mean, however, I enjoy engineering my own healthy food, and not outsourcing this task to a scientist who doesnt care about my health xD
I agree with most of the foods that you said to avoid. However, I believe that unprocessed soy beans in moderation can be really good in lieu of allergic reactions to them. This is because soy beans have quite a bit more protein than any other bean or legume. It also has a really great amino acid profile as well as a decent amount of most essential vitamins and minerals. So, I would be hard-pressed to give up soy simply because it is literally the easiest way to get protein for someone on a plant-based diet, as I am. Moderation is important too though, of course. It's not something for every day, and you should eat a variety of different beans and legumes. Also, given that soy beans are a legume, they are also associated with cultures where the elderly tend to live longer than in other places. Regular consumption of legumes is one of the biggest dietary factors that correlate with longevity of life. I recommend going to Cronometer and typing a one cup serving of soy beans to see how much nutrition is available in them compared to other types of beans and legumes. If they agree with your body, I think they're an excellent addition to the diet. But I also recommend avoiding processed soy that comes in almost everything. Also, if you do eat it, be sure that it's organic and non-gmo, as most soy is genetically modified.
Note: Cronometer is also good for finding hidden trans fats. As long as a food has less than .5 grams per serving, the companies can list the amount as 0 grams per serving. If you find any "partially hydrogenated" anything, then it probably has them. But if you want to know for sure how much trans fat something has, type it into Cronometer. You should have fewer than two grams of trans fats per day, or ideally none at all. So, it's very easy to go past that limit of 2 grams (about 20 calories worth), if you eat foods with unreported trace amounts of trans fats. Trans fats are probably one of the least healthy things you can put into your body.
Hi Diamond, I'm currently transitioning into a meat-free diet but I'm finding it difficult to find alternatives which provide as much protein as I would get from a diet on meat - do you have suggestions? If you do I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Lentils, beans, chick peas, peas, soy, seitan, grains, veggies.... everything has protein just eat enough ;) Or type vegan athlete on youtube for ideas.
Great video. Some of the things I got at Costco that I deem healthy are the following: Oatmeal Kind bars Aussie bites Morey's - Wild Alaskan Salmon Sweet Potato Vegetable mix Poland spring water pack Almond milk Suja Green Juice Cost me around $113. And the supply seems to last me around 2 weeks but have to resupply weekly for Suja Green Juice. Make the transition to healthy nutrition and you will thank yourself.
Leo... I've been with you for about 5 years now and it's amazing how different videos of yours reveal themselves to me as I become more and more open to the goodness within. May you experience the highest blessings life has to offer! ❤️
I have changed my diet for two years and I have magnificent results ( vegetarian without sugar, wheat and dairy ) Leo if you can put episode about important of Breathing , breathing is important as food or more as You are talking about basics of healthy conscious life .
JoseRap I hope he does this!! I would love to hear the no bullshit version about these plus I tried emailing him once to do one like this, so let’s hope
It's complecated. There's a big problem about this subject, and i can't even tell you what the problem is... And that's probably why he haven't found the right approach to this subject yet.
Ninja creami is a GODSEND for this stuff!!! Try it out Leo ! You CAN eat ice cream again after all:) I do almond milk, water, little bit of monk fruit, some salt, and TONS of strawberries and raspberries. Top it off with raw cacao and use the mix in feature adding in other berries … so amazing for icecream fixes. Sending positive energy your way 🙏
Can you explain what's wrong with plain, black coffee? I understand caffein addiction definitely isn't ideal, but as far as nutritional value, black coffee actually has several benefits. One major one being that it activates the body's natural antioxidant processes, and is actually one of the strongest antioxidants out there... it's also been found in many studies that coffee drinkers live 2-3 years longer on average than non coffee drinkers. But I'm open to the other side if someone can present some valid info to the contrary 🙂
Be honest with yourself, are you drinking coffee for its antioxidants, or for the energy boost it provides? What after it fades, is it nice to deal with the crash? What when some time goes by and you haven't been drinking coffee? Withdrawal syndrome, restlesness, subtle nervousness and lack of focus. I'd say you can drink coffee for the rest of your life if you are willing to put up with the negative symptoms and you aren't shooting to maximize mental wellbeing. But what do I know.
Disclaimer: I'm a huge coffee drinker, and have no intention of giving it up in the near future. The coffee bean has huge environmental supply problems right now, and is probably going to become increasingly impossible to obtain in a few years. There's such a stress on the industry that dirt is often used as a filler for ground coffee, and mold is notorious to grow in many popular brands. Also, due to the supply issues thanks to climate change, the highest quality species are becoming harder and harder to grow. I think there are a few good videos about that here on UA-cam. So yeah...I think coffee is inherently a wonderful plant, but I fear its quality if often severely questionable these days, and it's probably going to get even worse in the next decade or so.
@@mattnlogan101 I bet you didn't even do a basic google search. You would have found this study: foodnewsinternational.com/2014/08/15/americas-researchers-find-impurities-as-fillers-in-coffee/ Let me guess something about you: I bet you also think that all honey bottles on the shelves are made with real honey!
what leo is t alking about is relly true, food matters so much in terms of Health and even deep consciousness work. I've been Vegan for 1 and a half Years now, and doing intermittent Fasting since 1 year, plus on a Ketogenic diet for six Months now an i never felt so great in my entire life :) I was born with a severe heart disease andy slowly implemented all theese diet changes because i was concerned with my health. My energy has never felt so grate and i was never this healthy and happy since making these shifts, this also enabled me to do sports and not being fatigued all the time. I have to take no heartmedications what so everr since i made these changes and i think everybody can benefit from Healthy eating, a proper diet and also fasting. So give it a chance and really apply this in you life it will make such a diffrence for you and thats totally woth it. greetings.
Hi Leo, I am a UK high school student, and your videos have guided me on the journey of adulting... you are such a blessing in some of my darkest hours!
Short summary of what to avoid Top foods groups to avoid: *Corn *wheat *dairy *sugar *soy (avoid most soy from my research over 95% on the market is GMO and heavily pesticided ) In my opinion non-GMO and organic Soy is ok in moderation Meaning-less labels that try to trick you into believing their are healthy (marking schemes) *cage-free *vegetarian fed *hormone + antibiotic free *all-natural *fat free, low fat (these often contain high sugar or nasty chemicals) *low sugar, few calories In general read the labels and aim for few ingredients as well as things you recognize, not fancy chemical names) Labels that are usually trustworthy: *organic *grass-fed *gluten-free *soy-free *non-GMO (here again read the label to make sure you're not being tricked) Avoid ALL: *processed meats *pre-made salad dressings *corn fed meat/ vegetarian fed chicken *unnatural butter substitutes *bread *all sorts of dairy *pasteurized fruit juices Leo mentioned some other things so watch the video to find out what foods are actually good
WeTakeAction I'm confused though. GMO isn't intrinsically bad right? I don't see the harm in eating something like fresh corn, it's nutritionally healthy.
WeTakeAction you dont know truthfully whenever ghe meat is coming from unless you got to that farm yourself, or a very local farmer, or go hunt the animals yourself.
@Jj Sweg look into gmo corn, which is all corn now. its not healthy. leo wouldnt say avoid it if it was. i also have hypothyroidism and corn in one of the contributing factors to messing up your hormones and then your glands.
I find I have more stable energy with less fatigue, more mental focus and clarity, improved skin (people actually compliment me on this!) and fat loss.
@Leo : This is great advice. Couple of questions : 1) What are clear benefits of eating all this organic and healthy food over regular (not extremely healthy) food ? Like we get to live 2-3 more years or something ? 2) What if a person not able to afford organic food for his entire family (as you know it's comparatively expensive) ? 3) What if I don't feel sleepy or lazy at all after eating wheat tortilla made fresh from bakery? what if I am from different country and tortilla is regular food type we eat in routine ? If we don't eat wheat tortilla and white tortilla is bad already then what kind of tortilla is good ? or quit tortilla and die unhappy by eating food you hate all the time ?
Thank you for making this post. It's something many people who are working on our consciousness know but some of us *me* need to hear again! Lol! Hoping I can implement them little by little as u suggest as I'm going through this huge shift personally right now. I don't comment often but I always appreciate your work and enjoy watching your personal transformation.
It is really rough when your entire family refuses to make changes to there diet. Every event you go to you are getting the entire opposite of these things.
Going to the gym is not about losing weight only...working out is health, being strong...there is no excuse for working out you only need to workout 30 min every other day higher intensity(at home)...
Whole foods for the win! Another thing I do since I live in a city is use a shower head with a filter in it. Our skin can absorb chemicals in the water. Chlorine fumes are also inhaled if you do not filter your shower water.
I really like these lifestyle videos i think they are essential. I would love to hear you talk about other new age lifestyle topics like fasting, veganism, yoga, no fap, smoking cannabis, etc. Thanks Leo!
I have so much respect for you for sharing this video... Brutal to hear it for the very first time, so brutal, it hurts... but so, so, so true. Thank you, Leo. Truly thanks.
It's so true about age changing you health state! When I was younger (~20s), I was eating so much processed food and I wasn't paying attention to what I eat, I was in a good shape, no health problems, now, in my 30s I had to deal with the consequences. It took me a couple of years to restore my gut health and not only.
Minimalist Wannabe there's already ones online, just keep things simple, you don't nedd to follow recipes just throw what you have together as long as its healthy
I used to follow what you said in the video & putting rules around food, but unfortunately I ended up having eating disorders. Being in a restricted diet & cutting some food groups will made the person crave more food. I think the key important is the balance and eating everything you want. If you allow yourself to eat what every you want automatically your craving for processed food will decreased and the body will ask for more healthy and nutrition food. There are two books that changed my view around food: 1) Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole, Elyse Resch. 2) Health at Every Size by Linda Bacon.
Ovidiu Drobotă I wonder how this will play out. I hope it doesn't end the same as it did for Socrates. The people really needs him right now. (That almost sounds religious.)
Random Stranger It can be... But he merely stated an opinion and I replied on that opinion. Socrates was a philosopher. Leo is a philosopher. Leo is how I imagine Socrates would have been like... Possibly. But yeah... It is way too much praise.
Leo is much deeper and practical to present day than Socrates, a great philosopher in his own right, except Socrates never became god and was largely a stage yellow individual
I've studied nutrition independently for many years, and everything you've said is completely accurate to my knowledge, which is very impressive! There's so much nonsense, myth, and outright lies in the area of nutrition, I don't find someone who can speak so flawlessly about the topic often. You know more than most doctors, which I find sad. That being said, I don't eat the way I know is best all of the time, because I'm still at the level where I feel like I need willpower to implement it and it's very difficult; especially when addicted to convenience and sugars.
I'm 22. When I was 14 I started eating unhealthy and it only became worse. I have been eating only noodles and frozen pizza and grilled cheeses and sugary drinks. And i smoked a lot of cigarettes and sometimes drank alcohol. I have been feeling really really horrible lately I have no energy left my skin is pale I have dark circles under my eyes and I have acne my body has crashed and I'm happy it happens now because I have no choice anymore if I dont eat healthy I can't do anything anymore. Thank you for your advice people really need to hear this it is really helpfull!
Your regime was just as I had predicted...and it's very smart. Personally, my (optimal) diet is very similar to this, but I still eat butter, cheap oats, coffee, organic soy milk and rye bread in moderation. My BMI and body fat / cholesterol has been at a static, healthy level since 1994 - but, I put this down to a fast metabolism...I used to eat complete crap!
@@mohammedshakeeb546 Your comment shows your understanding of God is weak. God does not have bias over what you do. You are merely a story it created out of itself. Joke and talk about God in all ways possible. It makes no difference.
I love all your talks you are one of my favorite teachers. If a friend has an issue i send them a relavent talk. Thank you for your knowledge and truth
I agree %100 what he said. However, I need to add something, you also must limit animal protein intake (chicken, fish, etc.. ). You either cut it out all together, or limit it, consume more plants and plant based proteins.
That would be awful. Joe Rogan is super low consciousness. His ego is so big you can literally see it hovering around him like an aura, hear it clawing out of him when he speaks.
Great video Leo, I feel like it's about time we went back to basics, this path is hard for me as I'm the only one in my circle to follow it, after listening to you and doing meditation everyday and working on myself these past few years, I feel like I have unlocked secret information inside, like dis-identifying from the mind, and realise my emotions are illusionary, this is info I feel and know, but cannot express to people that suffer with the mind, I say to them 'have you tried meditation' but I'd get a reply like "meditation just isn't me" or "I just can't do that" having such mind and body awareness is empowering and the best thing to happen to me, but to be in bliss while the minds of people I care about deal with anxiety depression and so on is bitter sweet
Ahah oui français ! Bien vu. D'ailleurs c'est même pas mon portable qui a corrigé mais moi qui ai mis l'accent par habitude... Faute d'inatention. Bonne journée !
Hey Leo,thank you for this simple and straight video.It is very useful for me.I hope you will continue to inspire and teach us.You are the person who motivated me to do personal development.
I eat Liver/ heart/ kidney Bone marrow/ collagen/ bone broth Raw pasture raised milk Pasture raised beef Sweet potatoes and yams Mushrooms Onion Garlic Seaweed Leafy greens Purple cabbage Broccoli sprouts Rosemary and other herbs Plain Tea Black coffee Carrots Cucumber Celery Nuts of all kinds (not cooked in oil, just plain nuts) Oranges Blue and black berries 100% cacao Vitamin d drops Himalayan salt
Thank you so much for this practical video. Looking forward to more practical and fundamental videos...they help a lot. I am currently fighting an autoimmune disease......so perfect timing. Much love. Have a great week. See you next Sunday. You are amazing.
Fun fact: caffeine is a drug. Society has demonized it like the other because of how useful it makes people. Do yourself a favor and lessen the amount you drink. Fingers crossed you can get away from it.
Corn is good for you, but not the crap they grow now. Corn is rich in vitamin A which is good for your eyes. The hull, the outer part, is hard to digest, so some extra chewing may help but it's NOT a bad thing. Corn is a grain, not a vegetable, by the way.
Hey I agree, but this is why you should avoid soy: most of it you find on the market is genetically engeneered as well as full of pesticides, fungicides and herbisides (over 90% of the soy on the market). From my research soy can be healthy but make sure it is organic plus gmo free. Many of the studies showing how toxic soy is to your body use the low quality, crappy and toxic soy. I hope this helps.
When I researched soy years ago... It's not that there's Estrogen in it. There are hormones that mock Estrogen. Estrogen-like. I stay away from it usually for that reason alone. Eat some testosterone boosting Beets instead. Stronger sex drive.
I also recommend getting a reverse osmosis water filter, especially if you live in the US. There is ones that even remineralize the water (though not necesarry). Its a big investment for your health, while not too expensive.
food is food there is just healthy food and not healthy food you could call it poison food but its still food either way just saying most food is likely, not healthy food calling it poison would mean pretty much all food people eat is poison because most people don't eat healthy the way leo recomends
Yea as a college student this transition is gonna be tough working with a super limited budget, but like you said anyway it should be a transition not a switch. I think the first thing I'm gonna start off with is cutting out dairy. Thanks again Leo for doing this on the topic of food, it really is important!
Having worked at a grocery store for years, I've become pretty skeptical when it comes to health food. I've met too many people age 90+ who smoke, drink, and eat whatever they like. I've become convinced that the secret to health and longevity is to know what's good for you, and do it. Worrying about what other people tell you is good for you will get you killed. That said, you have to learn what's good for you somewhere, so there's nothing wrong with listening to food advice videos. Just don't worry yourself to death over it. Anxiety over grease and sugar is far more harmful to your health than grease and sugar.
science tho... of course youre right, we shouldnt trust companies who label their food as "healthy". But your observation with the 90+ yo smokers is not reliable... you dont meet the smokers that died at age 50 when theyre 90, cuz by then they are under the dirt. Some people are robust, some are not.
Happy Broccoli I didn't meet the health nuts who died at 50 either... But it is true, we're not all the same, and some people really do just have incredibly resilient genetics, while others are frail. That's why it's so important to do what's good for *you*, not what someone else tells you is good for you.
eXpas04 Eating an all organic vegetarian diet doesn't mean you have a high quality of life either. I've seen a lot of people suffering from anxiety and stress issues because they obsessively worry about their food instead of just relaxing and enjoying their meal.
Depending on what you want to experience, i'm pretty sure the direct experience of the one eating anything it want's is much different from the one eating healthy, it might not tell about your longevity, it might too tho, of course, food is not what tell's your destiny, but it can alter it somehow for sure :)
Just wanted to mention this because i eat peanut butter daily and will change this due to the inspiration of your video. Most cheap peanut butters in jars have hydrogenated oils to prevent seperation and are higher in sugar. More expensive ones dont have this ingredient. I have slowly over the years started cutting this stuff out. No dairy, sugary drinks or deli meats for about 6 years. I started doing all organic fruits and vegetables a year ago and that is not expensive at all. I am still looking to clear up a few things like the dressing which has soybean oil and the peanut butter. I also am guilty of buying cheap eggs and meat. But i think going from $2 to $6 for a dozen eggs is not much per week. I also wanted to mention i very rarely use a soy product. I forgot about this when i wanted to make a big stir fry for my lunches for the week. I put tons of it on there. I love stir fry but this soy seemed like it drained my energy in that quantity. Never again.
It might be hard at first to eat healthy, but once you get creative with it, you will love it. There are soooooo many amazing delicious foods and recipes you can make that just makes you feel good in every way. Also, Vegan Gluten free Pizza is awesome! Just soak some raw cashews in water. Blend it in a blender. You have cheese! Get a none gluten flour (rice) or just a gluten free pizza base. Blend some tomatoes and lightly fried aubergines , basil in a blender. Thats your base. Add some mushroom, red and green peppers, and any other nice toppings you like, plus cashew cheese. Add some olive oil on top. There! Vegan pizza.
Hey Leo, I really appreciate your content but I can't understand why you would recommend eating sentient life forms when it is so unnecessary. It's quite selfish and egoic to consume animal products, considering the ethical and environmental consequences. A vegan diet is much more in alignment with unconditional love and altruistic living, considering that humans don't require meat to survive and can actually thrive on a purely plant-based diet.
Very straightforward informations! It would be really beneficial, in my opinion, if in the description box you linked the sources you used to gather these informations. This makes your word more powerful and the people more responsible for themselves. Thanks a lot.

Siba Gasser i agree with what you listed but doesn't they have unhealthy food at the restaurant? Isn't there a better alternative?
Thank you for actually posting this. This is the type of comment I think Leo could pin.
Choosing your restaurant & dish wisely makes a big difference, some restaurants will even prepare you something somewhat "clean" and healthy if you ask for it specifically. The best thing of course is to go out to eat as little as possible.
What is your reasoning behind avoiding coffee? Many studies have shown that it is good for your body in moderation.
Thanks.
I found that when you buy healthy foods it's even cheaper.
But maybe it's different here in europe. When I travelled to the US I found that it's really hard to find good food there.
Also when you start eating healthy and you unaddict from bad food, bad food will discust you.
Hell yeah

Couldn't agree more. I'm from the UK so we don't exactly have a reputation as the healthiest European country. However whenever I've traveled to the States I'm shocked at how much worse it is there. Junk food in shops and restaurants is really pushed on it's citizens, to the point it's almost sinister. At least in the few different states I've visited. Also the advertising is crazy! I can't believe some of it is even legal! It's a wonder they aren't all obese, I think I would be if I lived there.
True that!
I do think healthier food is a bit more expensive in the U.S. but it's still manageable, especially with local farmers markets and more health food stores cropping up. Junk food is WAY pushed here, but it doesn't mean you have to eat it just cause it's being pushed on people. I also noticed that after eating a healthy diet for quite some time that junk food actually tastes quite strange trying it again.
I agree
We need a "Leo certified" lable in the stores!
lol I would love that actually.
If you start eating mindfully, you will start to enjoy simple and subtle tastes, and over time you will develop sensitivity for those. Then things like pizza, diary and so on will become overwhelming to your senses, and there won't be desire for similar food.
When you discover that you can put olive in your mouth, close your eyes and really feel all beauty of it's taste, the whole new world will open up for you
Filip Djurkovic I tried to keep eating like shit (pizza, pasta, burgers, chips, soda and so on) but working on my awareness has made it basically impossible.
After a single day of returning to my old, unhealthy diet, I feel so groggy and tired and bloated, I can't wait to eat better the next day. The key for me has been awareness over the day and tons of research, so I can just remind myself how it feels and what actually happens in my body when I poison it with wheat, sugar and dairy.
MelleBreak Well, gluten may not be problem for you, because everyone is different. I sometimes make my own bread from whole grain barley flour and water. And I eat oatmeal almost every day.
You see, both oats and barley contain gluten, but I don't have any problems. Just listen to your body, it will tell you.
But your body may be overwhelmed by unhealthy foods, so you cannot spot the signs. Then first purify your sistem with vegetables, nuts, meats and fruits (remove sugars, grains, diery, potato and rice). Then after two to three months try to bring back some grains, but keep it low. Anyways, I still avoid diary and wheat no metter what. It realy makes me sick
Bruh, I melt away when I eat a simple mango, pear or peach... damn
Olives are incredible

True!!!!!! Do it
Veganism is dead, all are going to carnivore and experiencing true health. My bet is that you already left veganism or that you have serious brain fog, bad joints, bloating and no sexdrive. So are you still vegan 7 years later?

I could write a 2000 paged book about how much you have changed my life and their would still be way more I’d need to say !!!! But you have literally transformed my life with your video advice and book list etc and just want to say a MASSIVE thank you !!! I know you don’t care about money anymore but when I reach my financial goal in a few years I will 100% be donating a large chunk of it to you !!! Or if I fail at it I’m sure I’ll maybe change the world in a few decades time some how and it’ll all be all thanks to you !!!! But thank you man YOU ARE DA BEST !!! Maybe we’ll meet someday when we’re both high level sages that would be hilarious 😂 but thank-you your content is utterly life transforming and I am very grateful !! Xxx

Dont get depressed by cutting out all this stuff!! You can make ALL of your favorite foods from WHOLE FOODS PLANT BASED ingredients. Even from raw stuff. You can still eat pizza, cake, icecream etc. Just make them with proper whole food ingredients!! THIS IS A SKILL!! I eat all organic, plant based, within the guidelines mentioned in the video 99% and these days I can eat AS MUCH CAKE, ICECREAM, PIZZA AS I WANT and all the other good stuff. I make all my food whole foods, sugar free, low heat cooked. You can make cakes with zero sugar and zero trashy ingredients. Its fucking amazing. Just get educated on it. UA-cam is full of this. Just look for "whole food plant based ->name of the food you want
A Happy Broccoli cool!
A Happy Broccoli
Yes but keep in mind they taste MUCH different
If you do them well they dont :P but I know what you mean, however, I enjoy engineering my own healthy food, and not outsourcing this task to a scientist who doesnt care about my health xD
R:Blacksheep: or don't xD
I agree with most of the foods that you said to avoid. However, I believe that unprocessed soy beans in moderation can be really good in lieu of allergic reactions to them. This is because soy beans have quite a bit more protein than any other bean or legume. It also has a really great amino acid profile as well as a decent amount of most essential vitamins and minerals. So, I would be hard-pressed to give up soy simply because it is literally the easiest way to get protein for someone on a plant-based diet, as I am. Moderation is important too though, of course. It's not something for every day, and you should eat a variety of different beans and legumes. Also, given that soy beans are a legume, they are also associated with cultures where the elderly tend to live longer than in other places. Regular consumption of legumes is one of the biggest dietary factors that correlate with longevity of life. I recommend going to Cronometer and typing a one cup serving of soy beans to see how much nutrition is available in them compared to other types of beans and legumes. If they agree with your body, I think they're an excellent addition to the diet. But I also recommend avoiding processed soy that comes in almost everything. Also, if you do eat it, be sure that it's organic and non-gmo, as most soy is genetically modified.
Note: Cronometer is also good for finding hidden trans fats. As long as a food has less than .5 grams per serving, the companies can list the amount as 0 grams per serving. If you find any "partially hydrogenated" anything, then it probably has them. But if you want to know for sure how much trans fat something has, type it into Cronometer. You should have fewer than two grams of trans fats per day, or ideally none at all. So, it's very easy to go past that limit of 2 grams (about 20 calories worth), if you eat foods with unreported trace amounts of trans fats. Trans fats are probably one of the least healthy things you can put into your body.
hello!! Just a silly thing: "in lieu" means "as a replacement for"
The Diamond Net yes you replied no new videos? lol. I like soy sauce ... too intense imo
Hi Diamond, I'm currently transitioning into a meat-free diet but I'm finding it difficult to find alternatives which provide as much protein as I would get from a diet on meat - do you have suggestions? If you do I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
Lentils, beans, chick peas, peas, soy, seitan, grains, veggies.... everything has protein just eat enough ;) Or type vegan athlete on youtube for ideas.
Great video. Some of the things I got at Costco that I deem healthy are the following:
Oatmeal
Kind bars
Aussie bites
Morey's - Wild Alaskan Salmon
Sweet Potato
Vegetable mix
Poland spring water pack
Almond milk
Suja Green Juice
Cost me around $113. And the supply seems to last me around 2 weeks but have to resupply weekly for Suja Green Juice. Make the transition to healthy nutrition and you will thank yourself.
We need more of these "back to the basics" videos
Toni yes and less mysticism lmao
100%
Leo...
I've been with you for about 5 years now and it's amazing how different videos of yours reveal themselves to me as I become more and more open to the goodness within.
May you experience the highest blessings life has to offer! ❤️
I have changed my diet for two years and I have magnificent results ( vegetarian without sugar, wheat and dairy )
Leo if you can put episode about important of Breathing , breathing is important as food or more
as You are talking about basics of healthy conscious life .
+Naturally Flow Yes, breathing is on my to-do list.
Yeah learning how to breathe properly is very important. Elliott Hulse has some good videos on that ua-cam.com/video/FhJbXPvSDKE/v-deo.html
What results have you been getting?
Hello, Leo, I need more videos about this topic! Tell me please some books about nutrition. I love your videos!

JoseRap I hope he does this!! I would love to hear the no bullshit version about these plus I tried emailing him once to do one like this, so let’s hope
Go to forum and ask this or search for kundalini and chakras. You can also do research on Kriya yoga to know more. Checkout the book on the booklist
Yes, I would like that too.
Yes I would also love this subject
It's complecated. There's a big problem about this subject, and i can't even tell you what the problem is... And that's probably why he haven't found the right approach to this subject yet.
Ninja creami is a GODSEND for this stuff!!! Try it out Leo ! You CAN eat ice cream again after all:)
I do almond milk, water, little bit of monk fruit, some salt, and TONS of strawberries and raspberries. Top it off with raw cacao and use the mix in feature adding in other berries … so amazing for icecream fixes. Sending positive energy your way 🙏
Also no coffee, but can we do Yerba mate? Or is the issue in the caffeine/drugs? Thank you !
Can you explain what's wrong with plain, black coffee? I understand caffein addiction definitely isn't ideal, but as far as nutritional value, black coffee actually has several benefits. One major one being that it activates the body's natural antioxidant processes, and is actually one of the strongest antioxidants out there... it's also been found in many studies that coffee drinkers live 2-3 years longer on average than non coffee drinkers. But I'm open to the other side if someone can present some valid info to the contrary 🙂
Waiting...
Be honest with yourself, are you drinking coffee for its antioxidants, or for the energy boost it provides? What after it fades, is it nice to deal with the crash? What when some time goes by and you haven't been drinking coffee? Withdrawal syndrome, restlesness, subtle nervousness and lack of focus.
I'd say you can drink coffee for the rest of your life if you are willing to put up with the negative symptoms and you aren't shooting to maximize mental wellbeing. But what do I know.
Disclaimer: I'm a huge coffee drinker, and have no intention of giving it up in the near future. The coffee bean has huge environmental supply problems right now, and is probably going to become increasingly impossible to obtain in a few years. There's such a stress on the industry that dirt is often used as a filler for ground coffee, and mold is notorious to grow in many popular brands. Also, due to the supply issues thanks to climate change, the highest quality species are becoming harder and harder to grow. I think there are a few good videos about that here on UA-cam. So yeah...I think coffee is inherently a wonderful plant, but I fear its quality if often severely questionable these days, and it's probably going to get even worse in the next decade or so.
@@morriganlestrange3853 There is no dirt in coffee lmao. That would be illegal.
@@mattnlogan101 I bet you didn't even do a basic google search. You would have found this study: foodnewsinternational.com/2014/08/15/americas-researchers-find-impurities-as-fillers-in-coffee/
Let me guess something about you: I bet you also think that all honey bottles on the shelves are made with real honey!
I 100% agree with this..... With 2 exceptions, both Greek Yogurt (plain) and Cottage Cheese are very good for you. So not all dairy is bad.
what leo is t alking about is relly true, food matters so much in terms of Health and even deep consciousness work.
I've been Vegan for 1 and a half Years now, and doing intermittent Fasting since 1 year, plus on a Ketogenic diet for six Months now an i never felt so great in my entire life :)
I was born with a severe heart disease andy slowly implemented all theese diet changes because i was concerned with my health. My energy has never felt so grate and i was never this healthy and happy since making these shifts, this also enabled me to do sports and not being fatigued all the time. I have to take no heartmedications what so everr since i made these changes and i think everybody can benefit from Healthy eating, a proper diet and also fasting.
So give it a chance and really apply this in you life it will make such a diffrence for you and thats totally woth it.
greetings.
Hi Leo, I am a UK high school student, and your videos have guided me on the journey of adulting... you are such a blessing in some of my darkest hours!
Short summary of what to avoid
Top foods groups to avoid:
*Corn
*wheat
*dairy
*sugar
*soy (avoid most soy from my research over 95% on the market is GMO and heavily pesticided )
In my opinion non-GMO and organic Soy is ok in moderation
Meaning-less labels that try to trick you into believing their are healthy (marking schemes)
*cage-free
*vegetarian fed
*hormone + antibiotic free
*all-natural
*fat free, low fat (these often contain high sugar or nasty chemicals)
*low sugar, few calories
In general read the labels and aim for few ingredients as well as things you recognize, not fancy chemical names)
Labels that are usually trustworthy:
*organic
*grass-fed
*gluten-free
*soy-free
*non-GMO
(here again read the label to make sure you're not being tricked)
Avoid ALL:
*processed meats
*pre-made salad dressings
*corn fed meat/ vegetarian fed chicken
*unnatural butter substitutes
*bread
*all sorts of dairy
*pasteurized fruit juices
Leo mentioned some other things so watch the video to find out what foods are actually good
WeTakeAction I'm confused though. GMO isn't intrinsically bad right? I don't see the harm in eating something like fresh corn, it's nutritionally healthy.
WeTakeAction you dont know truthfully whenever ghe meat is coming from unless you got to that farm yourself, or a very local farmer, or go hunt the animals yourself.
@Jj Sweg look into gmo corn, which is all corn now. its not healthy. leo wouldnt say avoid it if it was. i also have hypothyroidism and corn in one of the contributing factors to messing up your hormones and then your glands.
thanks
Cindy Abernathy thanks, good to know!
I'd love to see a 'what i eat in a day' video from you!
It would be very nice if you would do something of sorts about sleep. In my opinion this is also very important,
I stoped sugar in high school, best desicion in my life. Cutting sugar and sweets is cheap, it even saves you money.
I feel so amazing when I cut out sugar and refined carbs.
What effect did it have on you?
It sucks i love reeses
I find I have more stable energy with less fatigue, more mental focus and clarity, improved skin (people actually compliment me on this!) and fat loss.
Dont forget to put some Dmt on your soup
OH LOL!!!!
Younes Berrada or mushrooms soup!!
LOL!!
Younes Berrada edibles and fly
Younes Berrada You got a tiny pud
@Leo : This is great advice.
Couple of questions :
1) What are clear benefits of eating all this organic and healthy food over regular (not extremely healthy) food ? Like we get to live 2-3 more years or something ?
2) What if a person not able to afford organic food for his entire family (as you know it's comparatively expensive) ?
3) What if I don't feel sleepy or lazy at all after eating wheat tortilla made fresh from bakery? what if I am from different country and tortilla is regular food type we eat in routine ? If we don't eat wheat tortilla and white tortilla is bad already then what kind of tortilla is good ? or quit tortilla and die unhappy by eating food you hate all the time ?
Hello Leo. Have a great sunday!
Thank you for making this post. It's something many people who are working on our consciousness know but some of us *me* need to hear again! Lol! Hoping I can implement them little by little as u suggest as I'm going through this huge shift personally right now. I don't comment often but I always appreciate your work and enjoy watching your personal transformation.
It is really rough when your entire family refuses to make changes to there diet. Every event you go to you are getting the entire opposite of these things.
I love how wonderfully you present information
Going to the gym is not about losing weight only...working out is health, being strong...there is no excuse for working out you only need to workout 30 min every other day higher intensity(at home)...
FPSCroatia totally agree-- the idea that exercise is for weight loss alone is an unconscious belief perpetuated by media. Exercise & movement is LIFE.
Personally i exercise to stay on track on clean eating
Tell that too mike tyson.
Whole foods for the win! Another thing I do since I live in a city is use a shower head with a filter in it. Our skin can absorb chemicals in the water. Chlorine fumes are also inhaled if you do not filter your shower water.
I really like these lifestyle videos i think they are essential. I would love to hear you talk about other new age lifestyle topics like fasting, veganism, yoga, no fap, smoking cannabis, etc. Thanks Leo!
Thank you so much ive been struggling with a toxic relationship with food this is liberating information

I have so much respect for you for sharing this video... Brutal to hear it for the very first time, so brutal, it hurts... but so, so, so true. Thank you, Leo. Truly thanks.
We need another episode of Leo in his kitchen! Thumbs up so he sees this!
It's so true about age changing you health state! When I was younger (~20s), I was eating so much processed food and I wasn't paying attention to what I eat, I was in a good shape, no health problems, now, in my 30s I had to deal with the consequences. It took me a couple of years to restore my gut health and not only.
Love this video, can you do more healthy eating recipes meal plans like you did that one time?
Minimalist Wannabe there's already ones online, just keep things simple, you don't nedd to follow recipes just throw what you have together as long as its healthy
I used to follow what you said in the video & putting rules around food, but unfortunately I ended up having eating disorders. Being in a restricted diet & cutting some food groups will made the person crave more food. I think the key important is the balance and eating everything you want. If you allow yourself to eat what every you want automatically your craving for processed food will decreased and the body will ask for more healthy and nutrition food.
There are two books that changed my view around food:
1) Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole, Elyse Resch.
2) Health at Every Size by Linda Bacon.
Leo is the next Socrates.
Ovidiu Drobotă I wonder how this will play out. I hope it doesn't end the same as it did for Socrates. The people really needs him right now. (That almost sounds religious.)
Random Stranger It can be... But he merely stated an opinion and I replied on that opinion. Socrates was a philosopher. Leo is a philosopher. Leo is how I imagine Socrates would have been like... Possibly. But yeah... It is way too much praise.
Hahaha.
Leo is much deeper and practical to present day than Socrates, a great philosopher in his own right, except Socrates never became god and was largely a stage yellow individual
I've studied nutrition independently for many years, and everything you've said is completely accurate to my knowledge, which is very impressive! There's so much nonsense, myth, and outright lies in the area of nutrition, I don't find someone who can speak so flawlessly about the topic often. You know more than most doctors, which I find sad. That being said, I don't eat the way I know is best all of the time, because I'm still at the level where I feel like I need willpower to implement it and it's very difficult; especially when addicted to convenience and sugars.
I found that fixing my diet was the easiest "self-help" change at the beginning.
I'm 22. When I was 14 I started eating unhealthy and it only became worse. I have been eating only noodles and frozen pizza and grilled cheeses and sugary drinks. And i smoked a lot of cigarettes and sometimes drank alcohol. I have been feeling really really horrible lately I have no energy left my skin is pale I have dark circles under my eyes and I have acne my body has crashed and I'm happy it happens now because I have no choice anymore if I dont eat healthy I can't do anything anymore. Thank you for your advice people really need to hear this it is really helpfull!
Food for thought
Your regime was just as I had predicted...and it's very smart.
Personally, my (optimal) diet is very similar to this, but I still eat butter, cheap oats, coffee, organic soy milk and rye bread in moderation. My BMI and body fat / cholesterol has been at a static, healthy level since 1994 - but, I put this down to a fast metabolism...I used to eat complete crap!

Great video Leo, I feel like it's about time we went back to basics, this path is hard for me as I'm the only one in my circle to follow it, after listening to you and doing meditation everyday and working on myself these past few years, I feel like I have unlocked secret information inside, like dis-identifying from the mind, and realise my emotions are illusionary, this is info I feel and know, but cannot express to people that suffer with the mind, I say to them 'have you tried meditation' but I'd get a reply like "meditation just isn't me" or "I just can't do that" having such mind and body awareness is empowering and the best thing to happen to me, but to be in bliss while the minds of people I care about deal with anxiety depression and so on is bitter sweet
I like Leo's food videos :)
Thank you for this video, Leo. It is really helpful to me because I was searching for the right diet for a long time.
Now I know what I have to do.

I'm on it, but i don't understand why corn isn't good for us
Luigi Trapanese all the corn available is GMO modified. Even more The glucose-fructose sirup is made of corn cause is cheap sweetener.
Non GMO Corn is perfectly fine. Great Gluten Free alternative to wheat.
Moritz köhler Corn in itself is a GMO. I eat spelt flour over wheat
Corn is good for you, but not the crap they grow now. Corn is rich in vitamin A which is good for your eyes. The hull, the outer part, is hard to digest, so some extra chewing may help but it's NOT a bad thing. Corn is a grain, not a vegetable, by the way.
Corn has lectins (to prevent being eaten by pests) that our bodies have problems digesting. Check out the Plant Paradox.
Leo - THANK YOU for this! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Estrogen and soy study has not yet been confirmed
Hey I agree, but this is why you should avoid soy: most of it you find on the market is genetically engeneered as well as full of pesticides, fungicides and herbisides (over 90% of the soy on the market). From my research soy can be healthy but make sure it is organic plus gmo free. Many of the studies showing how toxic soy is to your body use the low quality, crappy and toxic soy. I hope this helps.
yup it is supposed to but there is no clinical study that proves it, i personally dont prefer soy anyways. so it doesnt matter
What truly increases estrogen in men, which is proven, is dairy. So we can start of by cutting it out and create great results.
When I researched soy years ago... It's not that there's Estrogen in it. There are hormones that mock Estrogen. Estrogen-like. I stay away from it usually for that reason alone.
Eat some testosterone boosting Beets instead. Stronger sex drive.
Soy = gmo
I also recommend getting a reverse osmosis water filter, especially if you live in the US. There is ones that even remineralize the water (though not necesarry). Its a big investment for your health, while not too expensive.
some people still believe mcdonalds is food
Allen KV Vidz it is just not healthy food
well I think we should not define poison as food :P
food is food there is just healthy food and not healthy food you could call it poison food but its still food either way just saying most food is likely, not healthy food calling it poison would mean pretty much all food people eat is poison because most people don't eat healthy the way leo recomends
Yea as a college student this transition is gonna be tough working with a super limited budget, but like you said anyway it should be a transition not a switch. I think the first thing I'm gonna start off with is cutting out dairy. Thanks again Leo for doing this on the topic of food, it really is important!
Having worked at a grocery store for years, I've become pretty skeptical when it comes to health food. I've met too many people age 90+ who smoke, drink, and eat whatever they like. I've become convinced that the secret to health and longevity is to know what's good for you, and do it. Worrying about what other people tell you is good for you will get you killed.
That said, you have to learn what's good for you somewhere, so there's nothing wrong with listening to food advice videos. Just don't worry yourself to death over it. Anxiety over grease and sugar is far more harmful to your health than grease and sugar.
Kragatar if someone lived up to their 90 doesn't mean it was a high quality life and that they felt good throughout their life
science tho... of course youre right, we shouldnt trust companies who label their food as "healthy". But your observation with the 90+ yo smokers is not reliable... you dont meet the smokers that died at age 50 when theyre 90, cuz by then they are under the dirt. Some people are robust, some are not.
Happy Broccoli I didn't meet the health nuts who died at 50 either...
But it is true, we're not all the same, and some people really do just have incredibly resilient genetics, while others are frail. That's why it's so important to do what's good for *you*, not what someone else tells you is good for you.
eXpas04 Eating an all organic vegetarian diet doesn't mean you have a high quality of life either. I've seen a lot of people suffering from anxiety and stress issues because they obsessively worry about their food instead of just relaxing and enjoying their meal.
Depending on what you want to experience, i'm pretty sure the direct experience of the one eating anything it want's is much different from the one eating healthy, it might not tell about your longevity, it might too tho, of course, food is not what tell's your destiny, but it can alter it somehow for sure :)
Just wanted to mention this because i eat peanut butter daily and will change this due to the inspiration of your video. Most cheap peanut butters in jars have hydrogenated oils to prevent seperation and are higher in sugar. More expensive ones dont have this ingredient.
I have slowly over the years started cutting this stuff out. No dairy, sugary drinks or deli meats for about 6 years. I started doing all organic fruits and vegetables a year ago and that is not expensive at all. I am still looking to clear up a few things like the dressing which has soybean oil and the peanut butter. I also am guilty of buying cheap eggs and meat. But i think going from $2 to $6 for a dozen eggs is not much per week.
I also wanted to mention i very rarely use a soy product. I forgot about this when i wanted to make a big stir fry for my lunches for the week. I put tons of it on there. I love stir fry but this soy seemed like it drained my energy in that quantity. Never again.
brace yourself ... SUGAR...
i am dying
Thank you so much Leo, this is such an important video!
Where are my fellow vegans here?
Right here man!
Small world lol. We should find the others
☘️
Raspberries. Blackberries. Avocados. YES.
Tim Durden Hey, anybody know where we should get protein from if we can't eat soy?? I eat a lot of it.
Leo 🙏 thank you so much again for sharing this info. You are changing my life here, thank you!
time to just eat grass forever.
Hahahaha
Yeah. . As our body is more attuned towards veggies as you see our system feels at ease our teeth are more similar to herbivorous animals
You should definitely share some more of your recipes. :) (Especially ones that are easy to pack for lunches and stuff) Love you!! ♡♡

The more you talk about it the better, i never get tire of the subject. Thanks lol😍😄😄

Jessica jessica depends on the brand.
It would be great to hear Leo's take on processed foods & negative effect it has on our gut microbiome.

It might be hard at first to eat healthy, but once you get creative with it, you will love it. There are soooooo many amazing delicious foods and recipes you can make that just makes you feel good in every way. Also, Vegan Gluten free Pizza is awesome! Just soak some raw cashews in water. Blend it in a blender. You have cheese! Get a none gluten flour (rice) or just a gluten free pizza base. Blend some tomatoes and lightly fried aubergines , basil in a blender. Thats your base. Add some mushroom, red and green peppers, and any other nice toppings you like, plus cashew cheese. Add some olive oil on top. There! Vegan pizza.
Am I still allowed to eat bread in minecraft?????
haa

No it will have real life consequences xD
Yay! So happy you’re talking about this!!
I love you
Hana I love you too
And with that, a complete stranger makes you smile
I love the Hippocrates quote at the beginning and the john wooden philosophy example
Coffee😭
What would we do without you?
You're a gift from God 🙏🏽💖
Hey Leo, I really appreciate your content but I can't understand why you would recommend eating sentient life forms when it is so unnecessary. It's quite selfish and egoic to consume animal products, considering the ethical and environmental consequences. A vegan diet is much more in alignment with unconditional love and altruistic living, considering that humans don't require meat to survive and can actually thrive on a purely plant-based diet.
Double Espresso agreed. Plus All animals products contain class one carcinogens no matter if "grass feed" or not.
He has said that he feels hungry when he doesn't eat meat. :D
In what video did he say that. More plant fat and protein would be the solution.
He said it on the actualized.org forum.
Double Espresso I'm vegan and I'm pretty sure plants are sentient beings lol. But on a different level to animals.
Very straightforward informations! It would be really beneficial, in my opinion, if in the description box you linked the sources you used to gather these informations. This makes your word more powerful and the people more responsible for themselves. Thanks a lot.
