I was a big fan of ranch dressing. To get away from the seed oils and MSG in almost all brands, I bought all the spices that are used to make ranch, mixed those together and add that to sour cream or yogurt to make my own ranch.

[@dellzywillis3001]

😋😋😋 I love ranch dressing

[@MetabolicallyLifted]

Beautiful. That's how we vote with our dollar 💵

[@mrlafayette1964]

Store bought ranch probably had HFCS in it too.

@@mrlafayette1964 right. Always make your own.

[@beebeeramone4641]

I saw a comment the other day and this person did the same thing except they blend cottage cheese to make it smooth and put the ranch ingredients in it. I thought that was a great idea. Protein based and delicious

[@taniahummelgard2290]

I was really on the meat bandwagon, then we just bought 3 steaks at a local butcher for Mother’s Day. $97!! 2 years ago we would have paid $30. America is forcing us to eat cheap crap so we can feed the sick care model

[@davidadcock3382]

The cattle herd is at the lowest level in 70 years. The drought in the plains the last two years have really taken their toll on the cattle numbers.

[@bluezhawg2104]

I agree that steaks are expensive, but I’d like to point out that since I went carnivore my grocery bill has gone down. I eat less I feel better I’m stronger and again my grocery bill went down. I’m sure it varies depending on the person or the family.

[@Alison2436]

100%! they are trying to force us to be sick and dependent on them

[@nancymik6508]

You’re worth it. Americans spend less on food than any industrialized country. Travel a little and appreciate things.

[@SonicBoomC98]

@@bluezhawg2104 I agree

[@sublimebites]

There are a few doctors that stress eating these foods regardless of whether they are organic or not is still tremendously better than the processed crap most of us were eating before. It’s not in a lot of people’s budgets to buy organic pasture raised foods when you are trying to feed a family on a budget. Don’t let the idea of only purchasing organic pasture raised foods keep you from making a switch to keto or carnivore, I don’t purchase them and my numbers have improved dramatically in just six months and so has my weight. Eat healthy and what you can afford.

[@curtismatsune3147]

Such a refreshing, balanced and most importantly fact-based approach. I think the message of don't make perfect the enemy of good but also be aware of ingredients lists because details matter is a good and necessary message. Plus you're goofy in the cutest way!

Organic is good when it is actually organic. I used to work in a factory where I had to pack carrots in regular bags and organic bags. All from the same load of carrots...

[@melindajean5452]

Organic is still sprayed with pesticides, just different kind, but still not good. Just a way to make it a higher price. Research is our friend

[@saltedllama2759]

That's because companies can pay to have the "organic" stamp put on a label of their product so long as it meets minimum requirements.

[@alexcameron2880]

You should have recorded it and reported it. That's fraud.

[@davidadcock3382]

Organic Growers can use many harmful pesticides even up until harvest. Organic is just a different farming method and nothing special about it except the 3 to 4 times more in price. People have NO clue what Organic actually means!!!!

[@LillieKane]

Take it one day at a time 😄 I’m rooting for you from afar!

[@PeterRabbitWhatsup]

I'm 64 5'10 173 and still pumping iron. But I was at 205 and knew that I could lose 30, 35 pounds. I cut almost all carbs and eat more meat. I always had dessert at night my whole life ,even if it was a big bowl of sugary cereal. I lost the weight and now treat myself to some peanut butter cups on the weekend and I have been able to control it and look forward to my weekend treat after going 5 days without it. It's better to have a cheat day or weekend or else chances are high that you will fall back into doing it everyday. The secret is ... only have enough treats to last 1 or 2 days . Or you will want what's sitting around.

[@manuhonkanen2111]

[@chlamygamine2190]

My breakfast super simple and tasty sardine recipe: take your fav brand of sardines in water, drain it, and replace it with a mix of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. I know soy sauce isn't the most healthy but you're not eating that much of it and its way better than the oil or hot sauce or mustard they also pack in sardines. And if you don't want the soy just do all vinegar then, but it tastes way better with a bit of soy sauce in there. Just let it marinate in the tin for 5 minutes and it is delicious. The tangy and salty combo completely masks the fishiness that comes with sardines in water. Been doing this for almost a year nearly every single morning along with a hamburger patty or pork steak and I still have yet to get sick of it

[@MichaelHplus]

I hope you don’t work in an office or close to others after having sardines for breakfast 👃

[@sharfalor4244]

​@@MichaelHpluswhy would you assume they're having breakfast at the office/work?

[@MichaelHplus]

@@sharfalor4244 I didn’t assume they eat breakfast at work. I said, “I hope you don’t work in an office…,” which allow for the possibility that they don’t work in an office at all. But if they do, their breath probably smells terrible from sardines that they probably ate at home.

Excellent, well-rounded, high-level, all-encompassing, guide! If I taught a "What human food is" course, this would be the first video, and the last video (as a summary and everyday reference). Obviously there's a lot in between, but you totally nailed it for the average person who's eyes would glaze over when they hear: macros, grams, microbiome, bioavailability, Ancel Keys, evolution, genes, ratios, ... And for those wondering "What about [food product]?", the answer is: "If it wasn't covered here, don't eat it!"

Hi Lillie, just watched your video 7 healthy things you eat. You were in a grocery store, and when you were in the dairy area I noticed behind you meyenberg goat butter. My husband loves it and where I live the only place that carried it was Walmart. Just recently they quit carrying it and no one around here has it. Would you mind disclosing the name of the store you were in. We use the A2 milk and finally found the A2 half and half at Raleys. We live in the Central Valley in California. Whichever direction we decide to go it’s about an hour drive. Thanks for listening and I hope to hear from you soon 🙏🌹

Unfortunately there are few states where you can buy raw dairy in a store. I don't know how expensive raw dairy is in a grocery store, but I'm sure it's cheaper than the way we have to buy it in Colorado. Here, you have to buy a "share" of a cow, and then pay ridiculously high prices for the milk. Plus, you have to drive to the farm to get it. About a 2 hour drive for me to the closest farm that sells raw dairy.

~~ I tried getting "pork belly" because technically, that is bacon without all the processing or added ingredients like nitrites and nitrates. But I did not like it. It tastes no different than a slice of ham. SO I went back to eating Black Label or Smithfield thick cut bacon. ~~ I don't eat alot of cheese but when I do, I do not shred it myself. Gotta change that. ~~ I don't drink alot of milk. But drinking store bought milk means I just get probiotics elsewhere. But I am intrigued to try A2 milk. Does it come in gallon form? ~~ I use organic extra virgin olive oil. I sometimes use avocado oil or coconut oil. However, I cook my German Shepherd 1 egg and 1 slice of bacon in the morning so I cannot use anything but the grease form the bacon or coconut oil. ~~ I usually get wild caught fish but you also have to make sure it is not a product of China. Read the labels. ~~ I buy skipjack tuna in water. ~~ For supplements, I look for the logo that has an approval from USP. Some don't require it and this young lady is right, don't take something unless you actually have a deficiency according to bloodwork or it could be a big negative. ~~ I tend to waste my yogurt. I usually get Lite & fit. Low sugar and low fat...however, I prefer full fat and its hard to find. But I have heard the one that says 5% is actually the full fat. ~~ Primal Kitchen just doesn't make a product large enough and the small quantity costs more. And why exactly is Mayo so naughty? ~~ I can only afford conventional eggs right now but I occasionally get eggs from a family friend who gets them straight from her chickens. I even have to clean off the poo!

I even quit with the coconut oil. Coconut is a seed, isn't it? If I need any kind of cooking oil I use butter or bacon fat. I never realized there was so much to watch for in milk. My wife and I stopped drinking it at the turn of the millennium. As Sally Brown complained, "It's all full of ingredients!" I don't care what color the egg shells are. I care about the color of the yolks. I want the orange ones. That means "free range." That's where all the vitamins are. Bacon is wonderful, and one of my main staples. I'm there for the fat. Farm-sourced is best, the less processed, the better.

Coconuts are classified as a fibrous one-seeded drupe. A drupe is a fruit with a hard stony covering enclosing the seed (like a peach or olive).
