I'm diabetic, trying to keep carbs down. There is so much sugar and other carbs hidden in processed food. Making things from scratch is the best/only way of really knowing what you're putting in your mouth.
Looks like an alarming amount of food for one person, especially those huge boxes of meat. That is a recipe for obesity and other serious health problems.
This is not an alarming amount at all, as that meat will last me well over a month, as I mentioned in the video. I buy meat in bulk, to save money and reduce waste, and portion out and freeze it. Also, almost all my meals are cooked at home and made from scratch. I don't snack a lot, so fruit, vegetables and clean, lean meat is where I get my calories from. It would be very, very hard to get obese from clean protein and fresh produce, especially when living an active lifestyle. I don't know about your lifestyle, or how often you eat outside of the home. Maybe you mostly eat processed junk that's high in calories, or eat out most days, or are completely sedentary. Obviously, you would need far fewer groceries. But I burn about 3500-4000 kcal on any given day, sometimes even (considerably) more. And like I said, I make almost all my meals at home. So taking that into account, this is a very realistic haul for one, active, person.
@@PaulvanGulik Those are many, many kilograms of meat. You are promoting it as healthy, and it is not. Check with a good nutritionist. Try to incorporate more legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, pulses. You are increasing your risk of cancer, cvd and many more. I checked your channel and don't want to sound mean, just think that you are living in an illusion, that this diet is good for you and that you need that many calories - you looked very obese a year ago and a whole year on your "healthy" diet didn't change that. Your body doesn't need that many calories.
Based on your reaction, I assume you are vegan? There is absolutely nothing wrong with meat in one's diet, as long as it's not too much red meat. It's the best way to get protein, while keeping the carbs down. Legumes and pulses are still mostly carb bombs, so they should be eaten in moderation, when you're carb restricted. And I have checked with nutritionists. I'm diabetic, have been for many years. Runs in the family. And I've been working with nutritionists for many, many years. I've also been eating healthy for many, many years. Not just the past year. With tons of fresh veggies. Low in fat, low in carbs. Very little processed foods. The fact that I eat meat does not make my diet unhealthy. And don't let my size fool you. I've always been big. But my resting heart rate is around 60, my VO2Max well above average for my age range, and my blood panels all within spec. And I get far, far more exercise than the average person. I am actually fit. But I guess it's much easier to assume that someone is fat or unhealthy because their diet doesn't match yours.
The fact that you assume this person has bought all of this for one week is honestly hilarious! 😂 clearly he’s stocked up for a while because it’s cheaper to buy larger packs of meat etc and then to distribute and freeze like most of us in the world have to do now.
@@PaulvanGulik I'm not vegan, I do eat and like meat, not in such amounts though. As for carbs - you are eating 2 whole 6.35oz bars of chocolate every week and say that chickpeas are bad because of carbs. That is almost 1,5 kg of chocolate every month. Even healthy people without diabetes shouldn't eat that much. This chocolate is mostly pure, refined sugar and you are saying it is better for you than pulses? Come on. And there is so much saturated fats, processed oil, unhealthy processed meats, fat cheeses, crisps, croissants that you eat every week. And I can't see those tons of veggies, just a few of them for the whole week. Sorry for assuming that you're not healthy, but your belly looks huge, mate. It seriously doesn't look healthy to me and I can't understand why you see it as ok. I don't mean to offend you, sorry again. I just feel that it is unfair to promote this diet as healthy and I don't believe that it is healthy for you. I'm not sure why youtube suggested your video to me, but maybe it wanted someone new to speak up on your channel or something lol But I'll be quiet from now on, don't worry.
This includes a huge freezer stock up, obviously I'm not going to eat all of this in a single week. And only one meal a day? I couldn't eat all the calories I burn in a day in one single meal, I'd feel sick! I assume you eat a lot of snacks and things the rest of the day? Or do you just not need that many calories?
@@PaulvanGulik Naw, I just don't eat much, but I'm not very good motivated. Plus I'm straight carnivore and only eat meat, eggs, butter and water. I drink some coffee but that's about it.
Is that fatty meat, like beef? Or lean meat like chicken? What is the (ballpark) amount of calories you're aiming for? For example, I would need over 2 kilograms or 4.5 lbs of chicken breast each day to reach my ~3500 kcal goal. And while I really enjoy eating meat, chicken in particular, that seems like a daunting amount of meat to get through, especially in a single sitting. Plus that would be prohibitively expensive.
@@PaulvanGulik Yes. I usually eat very fat rich meats. I eat until I am comfortably stuffed. I am rarely hungry and never crave anything with carbohydrates. My blood panels are very good and I maintain my weight at about where I was in high school. My skin and muscle tone is pretty good, especially given I'm over 50. Works well for me, maybe not so much for others ..
Did you watch the video at all? Literally within 5 seconds of the video he says it's for 1 month. Either you didnt watch the video or you were having a stroke when you wrote your comments
It's easy to miss something in the first 5 seconds. Or the half a dozen other times I mentioned it in this (short) video. I just wasn't clear enough, I guess.
Very solid haul and the meals you planned to make sound yummy.
Thank you!
Do you make all or most of your meals from scratch?
Yes, most of my meals are made from scratch, so I know exactly what goes into it.
@@PaulvanGulik I have to make my meals from scratch as i react to a lot of ingredients in premade food.

@@PaulvanGulik that is so true

Paul got some chicken thighs. Man knows what he's doing.
I do like a good chicken thigh
I couldn't eat that much in a week, but then I only eat once a day.....

Very little veg and insane amount of meat for one weekly shop! Either its badly titled or this guy is gonna have a stroke! 😂

Wow i buy less than that for 3 people! More veg though.
