10 Foods I Started Eating in 2023

[@Multi-Tech]

Speaking of mushrooms, a Mushroom tier list could be interesting.

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

I been eating like a million Lion's Mane mushrooms lately. I'd love to know if it's actually doing me any good.

[@Logan9286-o1n]

Im up 4 that as well, personally; i use Oyster Mushrooms on every meal since i suffer from IBS and those are seriously low fodmap and pallatable; but i wont to try Lions Mane and Chaga for their benefits though

[@rookvic4350]

it is pretty good for you@@ethanotoroculus1060

[@asinglebraincell6584]

@@Pablo.B.M. I've heard straw mushrooms have an unsual amount of protein for a mushroom, and are weirdly high in calories of a mushroom. I bet there would be some really intresting and suprising ones

[@TheAmores2010]

I would disagree with your closing statement of this video being "not the most educational". It not only shows what ingredients I could think about adding to my diet, but also how I would be able to do that. You provide all this beautiful information about singular ingredients and I tend to struggle to connect them into something I can eat routinely. Giving insight in how you yourself go about it with some of these ingredients helps me a lot with that.

[@TransparentlyDuplicitous]

Garlic is one of those foods no one should live without. It's so good for you and just makes food taste good.

[@Pablo.B.M.]

[@diiiiiiiiiii78]

Theres a religion, Jainism, where followers refrain from eating garlic, or anything else that grows under the earth, such as potatoes or sweet potatoes or radishes. Its always surprising to me how they're able to get adequate nutrition, as so much of my diet consists of these vegetables, but also, I can't imagine going a whole lifetime without having garlic or onion breath.

[@TillyOrifice]

Grind garlic up with ginger (or galangal) and you're well on your way to making any number of delicious lentil dishes.

[@cevatkokbudak6414]

And onion too

I've added Greek yogurt to my diet this year, and my gut's definitely thanked me for it. I've had gastrointestinal issues for over a decade now. Greek yogurt's been such a massive improvement to my quality of life.

Love going to the Asian market for mushrooms. Way more options and cheaper than any regular grocery store

[@AliceBunny05]

​@@ijustlike0010 asian markets are the holy grail of grocery shopping imo. perhaps I'm biased because I mostly cook japanese food and the area I go to for asian markets really is the best, but everything there is so inexpensive, especially with weekly sales, the produce alone is 100% worth it.

I just wanted to say that your videos have really helped me on my body health journey. In September of 2022, I made a conscious decision, under doctor's supervision, to lose weight, retain muscle, lower cholesterol and triglycerides. I have used your tier lists in making a much healthier approach to food choices, and as a result, I've gone from 118 kg to 89kg in just over a year - 23 kg of that being fat loss, and my muscle mass is still at the top of the range for my age and height. This all comes down to food choices. The major things I've done have been focusing on protein, vitamins, and fiber in the mornings (blueberries with plain yogurt and walnuts being my favorite breakfast), switching my starchy grains to whole grains - especially going strictly to brown rice/GABA blends, and allowing myself protein/fiber snacks. Top three foods I've added this year? GABA rice, fava beans, and ginger. Also, thank you so much. I know these videos are a lot of work, but they are having a direct impact on my health and my life, and I'm sure they're helping many other people, as well.

[@MezmerKaiser725]

This year I started making homemade snack bars with peanut butter (the kind you have to stir first), oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, puréed bananas, and some honey to help it all bind together

[@isaacanderson825]

I have a dairy allergy and used a lot of butter alternatives, it wasn’t until finding this channel that I realised that almost all of the plant based butters I was using contains trans fats, so I made the switch to Ghee as it’s mostly stripped of lactose, and am now a little obsessed with it.

[@samsam060402]

Sardines for me! Had them before but took a while to really start enjoying them. Very healthy and super tasty depending on the brand. I like the small ones in olive oil. Also, don't sleep on brussels sprouts! In only the past few years they've managed to remove the gene that makes them bitter. Pre cook them for a while, throw them in some egg and breadcrumbs and into the airfryer. Damn tasty.

My 3 food discoveries of 2023: Kohlrabi - a perfect snack and also a good alternative for cabbage/broccoli. Bonus: super easy to grow in a garden / pot. Coffee - hated coffee all my life, but my GF convinced me to try freshly ground coffee. It is wonderful, I'm now a coffee nerd :D Cottage cheese - I always tried to include it in my diet but failed cause I just hate it with fruits / honey. This year I realised you can have it in savoury version and it has been a game changer for me. It is so much easier to consume daily dose of protein if you eat cottage cheese.

[@yelionlyhelps]

Green tea is actually really tasty, it just depends where you get it. Stores are not tasty, but in my country we have lots of stores with actual tea, sold in dried leaves, and those are the best. And so many flavours, and yes, they are natural

[@marxpower320]

I started including a lot of green beans in my diet these pass few months. I also started to include more onions in basically EVERY food I'm making, including stir fries, beans, rice and beans, cornmeal, etc.

[@Santa-ny1yp]

A few comments. Almonds, the oxalates are mostly on the skin. You can remove it or Blanche them to reduce it. You can also take calcium at a different time to bind it for removal. Broccoli, for sulfirafane benefits you should combine it with ground mustard seed. Butter for cooking. Butter has a low smoke point as does olive oil. Try coconut oil, its high smoke point combined with the medium chain triglycerides and lower long chain triglycerides makes it a winner. Add butter after you cook food to benifit from small chain triglycerides.

I love this video! Earlier this year (January/ February) I really started paying more attention to my diet now that I've been living on my own for a few years. After making choices to add or replace certain foods in my diet I started noticing, after only a month or so, how much better I was starting to feel. I even started to hit the gym more often niw that I had the energy and I'm already starting to see progress! I couldn't have done this without your help! Furthermore your videos helped me find a new love I hadn't known before. I'm a first years Chemistry student and started studying Food and Pharmaceuticals, after finding out that Chemical Forensic Research wasn't my cup of tea. Thank you for inadvertently helping me find this path, I'm loving the new study!

[@NeinTeaAteKay]

I do like these types of videos. I already know pretty much everything i need to know and how to do it, but people just listing what they eat and how they eat it / cook it is good because you may bring up something i hadnt thought of or forgot about, can help me break through or mix up a fairly bland diet. its also nice background watch / listen. your voice sounds informative and your tone is relaxing. your visuals are easy on the eyes and colourful enough to be easy watching and entertaining that I actually watch the video when im meant to be doing something on my other screen.

Hi! I just really wanted to thank you for your videos. Today was a stressful day at at work. So, as per usual, at the evening, i went in a shop craving for a dessert. Quite often, I'd take a cake or a pack of something covered in chocolate. But today i glanced at a kiwi and remembered that you've put in the highest tier. So I've bought kiwi and strawberry and treated myself with a fruit salad! And it made me so happy! Not only as a sugar boost, but as a heathy choice I've made for my wellbeing. Hope it becomes a habit. Maybe it's silly, yet you're actually inspiring me. So thank you 🙏

[@alexreid1173]

I have issues with most vegetables due to a sensory processing disorder, but I finally got around to desensitizing myself to zucchini this year! It’s been a great addition to my diet since it’s relatively cheap and nutritious. I might try to work on mushrooms eventually, but they’re a sensory nightmare for me, so I can only eat very small ones mixed in with other stuff. I’ve also been attempting to eat salads that come with other meals at restaurants lol

[@larkendelvie]

You might want to try dried mushroom powder - can just add it to soups/sauces. There are actually quite a few vegetables available in powder form. I know for me there are some fruits and veggies I can eat cooked, some that are better raw and some I will never try again no matter how they are prepared. I also like some pickled.

Even my son has burritos every morning for brekky full of veg and lean meats with mozarella and salsa - and it’s been a great way to add veg in his diet. Thanks for your vids!!

By the way, olive oil is also good for high heat cooking! It turns out that smoke point isn’t actually directly related to the temperature at which off flavours form and good compounds break down. Despite olive oil’s low smoke point, it’ll keep most of its benefits and present no off flavours in almost all high heat cooking situations

Fun video, thank you! In 2023 my husband and I started eating cranberries every day... we cook them down (no water, no sugar, nothing) so the consistency is like cranberry sauce - then he takes a portion and eats it as is (ewww), I take a portion and add a little stevia - yumm!! I add mine to salads with vinegar, it's like a great cranberry vinaigrette! More recently, I've been eating sauerkraut (real, fermented in the refrigerated section of the grocery store). Foods I've been eating for at least 1-2years almost daily are: Arugula, Avocado, Sweet Potato or Kabocha Squash, Jicama (I buy it, cut it up & freeze it in portions - otherwise it goes bad quickly), Steel Cut Oats, Cranberries (made into sauce), Chicken (usually breast), Fish (wild - usually salmon), Egg (1 a day), Nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios - sometimes cashews - although Dr. Gundry, who I have a love/hate feeling about & he usually drives me nuts (hahaha), somehow got into my brain and brainwashed me to stay away from cashews). Thanks for all of your videos, they're great!! I use Cronometer to give me the nutritional breakdown of foods, but your videos are very helpful because they lay it all out with your narrative & nifty charts!!

[@PaperScarecrow]

If you're making gyros, making more sandwiches, or eating more salads, I'd highly recommend adding pickled red onion and pickled sliced garlic to your toolkit. Gives a great acidic snap with a strong but tolerable flavor, goes incredibly well on a lot of things and if you're weird like me, is a great snack or addition to a charcuterie spread. As a bonus, you can make a huge batch for a dollar or two, and it'll last a long time in the fridge. It'll also help a lot if you intend on making your own salad dressings, since you get to control the contents. A simple Caesar style vinaigrette takes maybe 5 minutes to put together and is an easy use of the olive oil left over from canned fish, leftover pickle/olive brine, and half the spices in your spice rack.

My favorite recent food addition is tempeh. Being a pescatarian who doesn't really like to cook, it can be really challenging to consistently make healthy meals with variety. Tempeh has been a massive boost. With a meaty but versatile texture and flavor, it's so much easier to make a compelling stir-fry or rice dish with cubed tempeh to tie it together.

I started eating zucchini. I have a hard time eating vegetables but tried incorporating more and found the zucchini to be so versatile. Before I only had it once as zoodles and hated it. But it works so well in scrambled eggs with cottage or feta cheese and bell pepper, also pairs very well with tomatoes of any kind and tastes very good in potato soup and also in stir-fries. Now it‘s one of my kitchen rotation staples! I also added Greek yogurt. It‘s a fast and easy breakfast paired with almond butter, flaxseed oil, granola or chia seeds and berries or banana.

Great video as always Talon. I definitely prefer your more educational style videos, but it's definitely refreshing to get to know your personal habits a bit better Before you completely give up on green tea, may I suggest (if you haven't done so already) that you try brewing it between 70-75 C (158-167 F). Usually this means putting the kettle on, pouring your mug as soon as the kettle's done, then waiting about 5 min before adding your teabag. A lot of people don't know that brewing your tea at an excessively hot temp (>80C) will make it bitter...this is why homemade green teas, or those purchased at cafes, will be very bitter but the ones served at asian restaurants are generally mild and pleasant. Also, surprised that butter made the list. I understand it given the caveat that you pair it with lean animal proteins and only have maybe 5-10g at a time, but I definitely didn't expect it to make a "top 10"-style video given the vast amounts of research into the links between saturated fats, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease risk. Proof that moderation is key!

The picture of various mushrooms at 7:39 is awesome, particularly the lower right corner :D I didn't just started eating eggs this year, but I started making an omelet nearly daily, and I change the primary ingredient from time to time: Salmon, broccoli, spinach, or just bell pepper, always with a bit of garlic and one habanero :)

I swapped cooking my eggs in butter to ghee, and it was amazing. I can keep it simple with a bit of heavy cream, salt, pepper, and ghee, or doll it up with some added turmeric, paprika, and celery salt over regular salt. I've started using ghee in my ramen noodles with garlic and onion powder and maybe a bit of chicken bouillon for extra flavor and broth; I've found that I enjoy them more because it's so satisfying and fulfilling to me. Going into 2024, I'm looking forward to eating more of the foods listed here, especially mushrooms, as well as a few others in your ranked videos...that I'll now be binging, lol. Thanks for this!! 💙

Congrats, your diet is becoming more and more like basically what every south italian eat almost every day (except tortillas). I've added avocados, and i eat them almost every day ❤

Love the videos, very interesting and useful. Trying to cut down a lot on processed foods this year but have felt bored eating a lot of the same things. Your videos have helped bring variety to my diet and taught me a lot about micronutrients, which I've never really paid any attention to. All that said, I still base most of my diet based on what's most affordable, so I've been eating a ton of broccoli, bananas, chicken, rice, garlic/onions, sweet potatoes, etc. It would be cool to see a video from you on Top 10 Healthy Foods You Can Buy on a Budget, or something along those lines.

As an avid garlic lover, I highly recommend adding roasted garlic to homemade hummus. So good!

You need to brew green tea in temperatures lower than 90 degrees Celsius (194F) otherwise it will taste bad. You can also try white, pu'er and oolong teas for different flavours

No wonder I've been finding you so relatable, this video is like a bingo card of what I am already doing :D. Recommendation : pan-fried eggs fit perfectly in a tortilla and that is one of my go-to 5 min meals

Interesting video, I started expanding my cooking a lot more this year as well. I got some good tips out of it, I will start eating almonds and oranges for breakfast for the skin benefits. I noticed you didn't mention much for soup; one of my favorite new dishes is chicken mushroom barley stew. Some garlic, leek, carrot, tons of mushroom, with barley and chicken breast, its so good. Another thing I started making much more has been pasta, since I am trying to gain weight. I have been underweight my whole life so I'd love tips for weight gain, which is something no one ever talks about. It seems hard eat for weight gain while also eating clean, especially for someone that struggles with skin health.

"...the magical secret to fluffy, tasty eggs..." truer words, were never uttered! I've been wise to the gloriousness of the egg/butter synergy for years. Sunny-side up and poached in butter -Heaven!

Haha I see you too are a man of culture. I also discovered the wraps a couple of years ago. It's so practical and you don't need to consume as much carbs/bread this way.

I like your content! You mention adding mushrooms to all of your salads. You should consider cooking almost all mushrooms. Especially Agaricus bisporus (i.e. Cremini, button mushrooms, portobello) due to agaritine found in them when raw. Ideally with high heat. Keep it up bro!

I have begun eating more beans and mushrooms; they're in every meal prep. There are a fair number of benefits to them while providing good quantities of fiber, yet also with a nice savory flavor. I started consuming raw kombucha too, although the benefits of that are debated; I just enjoy it.

Since a couple of months I'm blessed with a new food service at work. There are plenty of soup, fresh salad bar + hot bar choices and you can make the weirdest combinations because you pay per weight. Just having shrimp and mushrooms for lunch for instance is possible but having four different hot vegetable dishes combined too. I rarely snack in the evening now.

I liked this video. Your previous videos were valuable sources of information and a good way to compare food articles. And I watched several of them. I did skip through some clips, and others i only watched partly. This video however had a personal touch where I got insight into your personal choices and why you chose that way. It's easy to make a diet plan that is decently balanced when you have all the datapoints. But it's not so easy to follow it for months on end. This clip lets me observe you on the same path.

[@codysmith3853]

Ghee and sourdough have been my big new additions and i am bot going back!

[@chitraguha5524]

i started eating sardines twice a week this year, a lot more milk and dosa (south indian savoury fermented crepes)

[@AngieRival]

I've totally added some regular foods to my diet thanks to your channel 😊 it is very appreciated CHEERS! 😊🎉

[@bikewithalex]

Love that I found this channel! This might not be in your forte, but a video about organic vs non-organic would be super interesting.

I started adding frozen veggie mixes to my diet. I already ate a lot of veggies before this addition, but in stressful times, when i had hardly any time or motivation to cook, i would lack a lot of nutrients. Now i just throw them in whatever lazy meal I'm making and even when it's just instant ramen or a couple of eggs for dinner, it at least has some more nutrients.

[@themodernshoe2466]

My innovation this year was frozen fruit. I always steered clear of the frozen isle and assumed fresh fruit was better. Now I'm glad I tried it because it's so convenient and a fine if not better nutritional option especially when it is the off season

[@davydgamelin4175]

I know i'm late to the party but i have to Say this the most wholesome video Talon made and i'm truly happy for him

[@chriscardwell3495]

Thanks for the mushroom insights - 2 supermarket mushrooms (twice a day) make me happier topped up with about 10 red or black grapes once a day.
