Do THIS To Make Any Diet Healthier

[@GardenToed]

I Definitely want to see the actual necessity of protein. I mentioned recently that I am new to this and my natural body tended towards most of what you described. I started with your basic calisthenics and did my first pull up yesterday!! But the grainy legume protein push had my stomach all confused. Today was the start of me going back to heavier fruits even before I watched the video. It was kismet that I was actually eating some fresh cut papaya while watching this video. Anyway, I have children and my 40th birthday is around the corner, so thank you for being here and being in a position I can actually relate to. I finally have direction, confirmation, and dont feel alone!

[@MinusTheGym]

Your comment just made my day. Thank you! 😊

[@GardenToed]

For sure. But don't forget to do the protein video when you get the data ready. Lol. I know one of the amazing things you bring to the table is that you have actually lived these things and know for real what happens. The idea that 32 grams of fruit protein can translate to something behaviorally more like 64 grams would be life changing for sure. Love what you do!

[@andrewwashere82]

You mentioning papaya. I just mentioned how they're my fav mono meal. 😂👍

[@shrihari9109]

You are really underrated!! I have started calisthenics workout by watching your videos and it has really helped me progress week by week. Whether it's 2k or 2 million, you are inspiring a lot of people out there and I'm one of them ✌️

[@simonwilliams5135]

Definitely agree. I eat as much fruit and vegetables as i can/want every day plus drink a ton of water. Next i make sure to have a good amount of protein per meal. Thats all i do to keep my diet healthy. Anything else i dont worry about, i just listen to my body. If im hungry i eat more, if im not i just stop eating. Works great.

[@mikeskylark1594]

Excellent advice! Raw fruits & vegetables are KEY (for health AND being lean)! Great analogy with bonobos and their diet pattern!

[@DanCantStandYA]

Solid advice to chew the smoothie and also do your own experimenting! I like not farting, so I do not like many veggies, LoL. Also choose organic or locally grown as much as possible to avoid -icides (killers)

[@sbellamy4192]

I eat meat, fish and egg, but I don't eat dairy and I eat tons of fruits and vegetables each day! I don't count calories especially when it comes to fruit. I feel great! I always wondered if I should cut back on fruit because I've been told before, "sugar is sugar, whether from an apple or from a donut." I'm glad to hear other people do great on a high fruit diet!

[@Texaswanderer]

Thanks for the tip about "chewing" your smoothie. I make my smoothies a little thicker and put them in a bowl with fresh fruit, seeds, etc. on top instead of drinking them.

[@MinusTheGym]

Smoothie bowls for the win!

[@arihaviv8510]

Mediterranean diet is the best overall. Whole grains, legumes, fish and poultry, lots of veg and some fruit for dessert

[@nigeshvijayarajendran3351]

This video really makes sense Thanks Ryan

[@Katstance]

I add chia, flax, and hemp seeds to my smoothie. Is that overkill?

[@MinusTheGym]

Might be, depending on the amount of each, but it won’t hurt you. It would just be extra protein and fat for that meal.

[@zv8pu]

Great video thanks for the information any advice for increasing raw veggie consumption. I tend to do frozen or cook my veggies.

[@MinusTheGym]

I focus on leafy greens. Occasionally I’ll do raw veggies with home made hummus. And of course green salads are a good source for raw veggies. Oh, and juicing is good too 😋 but then you don’t get the fiber

[@mamamal3]

It’s a lot of sugar though?

[@jm08050]

5 Bananas in a smoothie - and unlimited fruit are a recipe for DIABETES and METABOLIC SYNDROME and INSULIN RESISTANCE. One average Banana has about 6 teaspoons of sugar and 23 grams of carbs. Worst possible diet advice!

[@MinusTheGym]

@mamamal3 Ignore the haters and carnivore dieters. They don’t know that fructose doesn’t require insulin to unlock the cell and reach the mitochondria. Eating more fruits and vegetables will actually reduce your insulin resistance and improve sugar uptake, long as the diet is reasonably low in fat. Also, the American Diabetes Association reports that any fruit is fine for a person with diabetes, so long as that person is not allergic to that type of fruit. It’s because most fruits have low GI scores and they acknowledge the unique properties of fructose.

[@mamamal3]

Thank you for explaining, didn’t know that ☺️👌🏻

[@Funthomass11]

Ryan, you stole my smoothie recipe!! 😆 Since I can´t drink milk I base my smoothies with filtered water and go like this: 2 spoons of chia seeds 1 small cup of oats 1 spoon of hemp seeds 1 spoon of pumpking seeds 1 spoon of poppy seeds 1 spoon of sunflover seeds 1 spoon of peanut butter 1 spoon of honey / syrup 1 banana / blueberries or seasonal fruits: raspberries, strawberries, red currant Packed with protein, nutrients and delicious, just make sure you have a good smoothie mixer 🙂

[@MinusTheGym]

Thanks! I’ll give that recipe a try 🙂

[@inigo137]

I remember reading a dude on a diet video unironically saying that the diet of our ancestors used to be carnivore and that's why he was on a carnivore diet. People are legit delusional.

[@MinusTheGym]

Yes, that does sound delusional. We don’t anatomically resemble canines or felines in the slightest 😆

[@mikestaub]

Can you share the Max Planck study about raw vs cooked protein?

[@MinusTheGym]

I’ll have to search for it. I learned of that from the documentary Food Matters, plus John Rose has talked about it and Sunwarrior protein cited MPI too. But most importantly, my experience has taught me it’s true. I often eat as little as 60-70 g. protein from raw food, yet I build strength and don’t lose lean mass. It works.

[@mikestaub]

@@MinusTheGym My experience matches as well, I just want to read how they conducted the study.

[@LucasSchifferR]

Hi genius, thank you very much for the video it is super interesting. I would love to see that video about protein!

[@Fitz557]

Hi, While I completely agree on the fact that most people should eat more fruits and vegetables, there are a few things that I find confusing. - Around 2min there is something that is really bothering me. Saying "instead of trusting science because it can be biased, try it and see for yourself" is quite problematic to me, because in many ways it can be a terrible advice. There are many things that we actually shouldn't test ourselves, espescially in science and nutrition. - I really would like to know where that thing about raw proteins having twice the value of cooked protein comes from. I see nothing about that from the max planck institute (instead, I found a page on skeptics exchange that has this title : " Is cooked protein less digestible than raw protein? " and that says that it's most likely a hoax). Plus research show that cooking can actually improve bioavailability of proteins. It's the case for lentils for instance. So I really hope that people who watch this video don't actually start believing that 30g of raw proteins = 60g of cooked proteins... - Also, losing weight isn't really a sign that it's better for you. It's mostly a sign that you're spending more calories than you're eating during your day. But I doubt that it's really good in the long term.

[@DanCantStandYA]

Experimenting with your own diet is much safer than any mrna vack-scene will ever be. Open your mind. The SA Diet is an experiment. The plant protein thing is debateable and likely completely false. Also things like this, depend upon blood type.

[@danafoltin8114]

Funny thing - I did see a documentary, where they show how some monkeys wrap they banana in green leaves before eating.

[@bryan9749]

Hi, What are your take on coporating legumes into fruit/ vegetables?

[@MinusTheGym]

I have an interesting perspective on legumes (and grains). I believe they’re not our species-specific food because we can’t eat them in their raw unprocessed state. We must soak them and then either sprout or cook them so we remove the antinutrients. But, if choosing between legumes or meat for additional protein, legumes are definitely the lesser of two evils. I eat legumes and lentils pretty regularly with dinner. So I’m not saying they’re “bad” by any means, just saying I believe they’re not the most optimal food for us like fruit and veg.

[@yodaa7100]

​@@MinusTheGymRyan, the diets of the of longest living populations all over the world (look for blue zones) always include lots of legumes. They are really good for us. You are on the right track concerning diets, though. I'd suggest you look into the Zoe youtube channel for wonderful science-based discussions on nutrition.

[@You2oob]

What are the best fruits and veggies for protein??

[@TehLiquid]

Beef.

[@MinusTheGym]

Most veggies are high in protein by calorie, but leafy greens are the best. And with fruit, watermelon is surprisingly high at 8% protein. My advice is to not worry about it at all. Just eat a variety of fruits and veggies and you’ll be fine.

[@DanCantStandYA]

peas

[@theironsheik6322]

[@inigo137]

Legit question, what if you actually struggle to gain weight? What do you eat?

[@MinusTheGym]

Nuts and seeds

[@rezzieggg]

Yes! More whole sources that are more calorically dense, like nuts and seeds, dried fruits like raisins or dates, olives or avocados. Google ‘calorie density chart’ to see which whole foods are more calorically dense and incorporate more of them in your diet. They usually tend to be less water-rich.

Structured water? I don’t think so. But chewing your smoothie is legit.

[@MinusTheGym]

😆 well, it’s information like this (and my own firsthand experience) that has me personally convinced about the structured water in fruit: “ “We have often noticed that personal hydration levels increase following consumption of fruits and vegetables,” say boomer generation health experts Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, authors of the new book TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH). “We used to wonder why this would happen, since we have always encouraged drinking adequate quantities of pure water,” says Tom. “These studies confirmed our observations, and have made fruit and vegetable consumption a prime focus in the TurboCharged program.” As the Griesels note, fruits and vegetables contain hydrating salts, minerals and sugars, so they serve as both a meal and a drink. The Naples study found that they are more effective at hydrating than water or even isotonic sports drinks favored by athletes.”

Sorry to hear your life’s a mess. I hope you can work through that asap. I love eating raw vegan. I feel so light and energetic. It’s a whole new level. My advice tho? Don’t do much fasting on raw. The raw diet alone is like fasting. Make sure you get enough calories by incorporating plenty of fruit and some nuts/seeds each day. Also, have a big salad every evening to get your greens. Just my $0.02 based on experience

'Promosm' 😣

[@Chrisssssssssssssssssss]

Hmm questionable advice.. If this really worked why is a random calisthenics youtuber the first one I hear this from? Also wouldn't eating that amount of fruits every day give you a consistent sugar overdose, leading to diabetis?

[@MinusTheGym]

No, fructose doesn’t require insulin to unlock the cell. You need not worry about fructose sugar from whole fruit. And it does work. That’s why fruits and vegetables have always been touted as health food. My mother and grandmother used to always hound me to eat my fruits and vegetables as a kid. This is also why Jack LaLanne, Paul Bragg and other health gurus of the 20th century emphasized fruits and vegetables too. Hell, even Sesame Street teaches to eat fruits and veggies. This is nothing new! Lol I honestly can’t believe some of the questions I’m getting about this 😆

[@Chrisssssssssssssssssss]

@@MinusTheGym I understand fruits and vegetables are healthy. The fact is that you're promoting a lifestyle where these are 80% of your intake. Every dietitian will tell you a balanced diet is optimal. Yes that includes fruits and vegetables, but also legumes, nuts, carbs and some essentials you can't get from fruit & vegetables such as vitamin b12 and omega-3 fatty acids. I don't say you're necessarily wrong and if this works for you for all I care keep doing what you're doing. However, putting this out there as 'the best way to eat' seems a bit misleading and in the worst case harmful to me.

[@rezzieggg]

⁠The problem is are most people eating a balanced diet anyway? A lot of people don’t eat a lot of fruits and vegetables but place more importance on protein because of what we’ve been told. Especially in this low carb/ keto/ paleo world where we’re told too much fruit can cause diabetes and we’re taught to fear all carbs. When really it’s too much fat and processed sugar and other ultra-processed foods causing obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. Fruit has the fiber intact which slows down the rate of the fruit sugar entering the bloodstream. And idk about you but for me it’s very hard to overeat fruit, especially when they’re so water rich (most of them). But the only way to know is to try it for yourself and see how you feel for a month or two. That’s what I did and it’s been working for me six months later. I would say though that greens are really more of a powerhouse in nutrition as opposed to fruit. I’m trying to incorporate more raw greens in my diet via green smoothies every day (with enough fruit to make it easier to consume).

[@villentretenmerth11]

Dear Ryan. Why are you repeating false claims about structured water? This term is related to a known marketing scam. Using words with such a poisonous meaning casts a shadow over the validity of this video, and your integrity as a fitness instructor.
