You should do an entire series interviewing these guys about what they eat and drink!!

[@nolanmanley5359]

This was way more intresting than the normal moto interiews.

[@calvinboettcher4516]

Kenny is the man , gives everyone an advantage, no electric start , riding so called out dated Suzuki , plays to his own tune 🤠he’s not done stamp it !! Long live king Kenny

[@kurtheidelbach]

Probably giving Aldon Baker a heart attack talking about the animal based diet 😂😂😂😂

[@teresastephens2642]

my husband and I are 60 and been on it for two years. We are healthier than ever. Pisses our doctor off as he can't believe our numbers. We don't eat liver though.

[@kurtheidelbach]

@@jg79100 LOL it’s not a fad diet

[@eZaFJDUBB]

aldon would just train guys like road cyclists, so skinny so lean, all cardio barely any actual weightlifting, that's why these guys get sick , too lean

[@Kawiboy]

Absolutely and I Love it 👊✌️😉

[@orange1666]

Human body evolved on an animal based diet , why not follow what nature intended - it’s far from rocket science , humans do not have a digestive system that can extract the best from plant based diets , especially as the majority of people have compromised gut biomes and most plant produce today is very deficient in nutrients due to modern cultivation . Ken you are on the right track but it’s important to say all people need to experiment and find what works best for them .

[@avzeolla3960]

Super interesting interview. I love to hear about what motocrossers and other athletes eat!!!

[@Wyatt1314.]

Animal fats and Nut fats are healthy, stored in the body for energy as when the sugar level is depleated the body switches to use fats for energy (ketosis) which is a way longer lasting energy source with no 'sugar crash'. Also, your joints, ligaments, brain structures, etc. are built with fatty acids & are needed bigtime. To a point

[@hsqprodigy7728]

As a (still learning) Exercise Science/ Nutrition student, I couldn’t agree with your statement more!

[@Wyatt1314.]

@hsqprodigy7728 I took a engineering course at Cornell & did a ton of assistant teaching at the community College. You are in the right profession! So many sports teams, individuals & whatnot need our help! Fr. the effects of diet on genetics is also interesting.

[@DTM45]

Excellent questions, thanks.

[@RollForever88]

I live right near St. George. Would trip if I ran into Kenny just roaming. It’s bigger than it used to be, but not a huge city by any means. Great place to live and awesome riding.

[@Marine450x]

Dude, don't be tellin' ppl about our great area. Last thing we need is more of them... Lol 👍🏼

[@eye2eye949]

One of the baddest dude on a dirtbike🤙🏼

[@curtiscollins2174]

Very well said sir. Still one of the best in the world. Humble opinion 😌.

[@brucewygal133]

Nice interview! You could tell that Kenny actually enjoyed talking about it.

[@Benders25]

Funny roczen warm up is what I used to do in football practice

[@motozzzlife1392]

When I saw the title it immediately made sense why Kenny was able to find his way back to the top. Paul Saladino is the man as well👍

[@perrykamieniecki8810]

Great questions.👍

[@Evo836]

Yes as a Type 1 diabetic I don't eat maple syrup but do have honey avocado chilli's pork black pepper, salt sometimes, boiled rice pork paprika fresh ginger and garlic and lots of red onion and my bloods came back all great and stay away from vegetable oils and only animal oils and coconut oil. Ken speaks the truth.

[@MatthewC137]

Even Kenny should avoid the maple syrup. He'd be better off with carnivore/keto the way Dr. Anthony Chaffee does it.

[@bunnyman6321]

It's clear why your a diabetic.

[@Marine450x]

@MXA, seriously, I believe diet is the single biggest "story" or component that is under covered. It could be a HUGE topic to draw in readers/viewers, and as important, help so many riders, from youth, up & comers and even the serious weekend warriors. If I'd if had something like that in my youth, I'd of been a much more successful racer, and without a doubt Woukd have given me life long diet habits (athletic) that I'm just not learning.

[@davidrogers3920]

I feel my best when I just eat meat, eggs, salt, a little bit of cayenne pepper and water (I don't do berries, organ meats, honey etc). I've been eating this way since 2019 when it was recommended by my doctor. Shawn Baker MD has great daily videos on the carnivore diet and exercise.

[@MatthewC137]

Totally agree about organ meats, berries, honey etc.. The one thing I disagree with Baker on is the importance of grass fed and finished beef. He seems to think there's little difference but grass fed/finished has a much better balanced omega 3 and 6 profile among other things. When eating non grass fed beef I always take a high quality fish oil with it. Your doc is one of the rare good ones!

[@scottn5422]

I need to know about this private track in mesquite! Also hoping to see Kenny around St. George

[@damonforrest1570]

What kind of warm ups is Kenny referring to ? Would like to be all I can be and get in much better shape. Great interviews, you do a real good job. Man A2 was a good round.🤙🙏👍🇺🇸💯✌️💣

We need to get Kenny or someone on Rogans pod. People don’t understand how fit you have to be to compete with the best. Kenny is built like a pro boxer

Very nice interview. Go Ken Roczen..

[@xxSPiKeZxx326]

Kenny is a beast. Animal based is the way. Love to see how it plays out for him!

[@TheRotkib]

i like how he is talking about a super healthy diet and casually drinking a "RedBull"

[@ryanely9732]

One Red Bull a week is no problem. All about moderation.

It’s water the athlete don’t drink that filth

He just gets cooler and cooler, One has to admire him.

[@foobarmaximus3506]

Animal based diet is exactly the right thing to do for your health. Works for me. I just need to stick with it. The hardest part these days for me is finding good quality beef. Takes some effort, and also lots of cash. Not easy or cheap.

[@marcusfistarol8270]

Raw liver might backfire someday, because it filters many things that might be not good for health.

[@eagleeyes075]

Cool to see this type of interview. One should strive for a NUTRITION plan that is sustanable. Where you eat things you LOVE. Human body can only process carbs / sugar. I say simplify the process and give the body want it wants...carbs. We are closly related to gorillas they say. What does their diet mainly consist of? FRUITS.

[@soulfulterrain3143]

Cool video. Take that PETA...

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

Idk why he is eating raw meat. Meat is more bio-available when cooked. Plus, cooking kills off any bad bacteria and parasites.

Red bull diet first !

Same diet as Jordan Peterson.

raw liver with maple syrup? what's the chance the next video will be Ken laughing saying "April fools"?

[@johnnyskied]

Ken is one of motocross histories biggest WHAT-IF's. If he didn't nearly rip his arms off and have all those surgeries, he has at least 2-3 more supercross titles and outdoor titles.

[@Gary-iy4oh]

Eats animal based but drinks red bull???

[@Zero2Random]

Sorry, but Paul Saladino makes up pretty much everything he says. That vast majority of his claims are in complete opposition to the results of actual, randomized human control trials. Dude focuses on mechanisms which don’t mean anything when you take the whole system into account. In fact, you can make the same arguments he makes against vegetables against meats using mechanistic properties.

[@presupping4eva]

Prove it.

[@cameroncollier8062]

That’s not fair; he constantly posts his research on his conclusions. You could argue his conclusions are wrong but not that he is making up his information

[@Zero2Random]

@@cameroncollier8062 That is why I didn't say he makes up his data. The data he posts comes from legitimate studies, its just that they don't mean much of anything when you take the whole system into account. For instance his "broccoli is bs" video. He goes on and on about one specific chemical compound's effects (on mice) being harmful, despite actual randomized trials in humans showing better health outcomes in people who regularly ate broccoli. You could literally make the same arguments against meat using specific chemical compounds in meats, given to mice or even humans in high doses.

[@Zero2Random]

@@presupping4eva I don't have to. The actual randomized human control trials literally prove it. What Paul does is equivalent to saying "apples have cyanide in them so we shouldn't eat them". Despite pretty much all clinical trials showing that people that regularly eat apples have a better health outcome.

[@presupping4eva]

Not trying to sound rude, but I don't think you understand how this works. You made a claim. The burden of proof is now on you as a consequence. Why am I supposed to take you at your word? Why should anyone trust you? What are these actual randomized control trials that you speak of?
