Lose Weight Naturally By Focusing On Whole Foods Over Processed Foods | Mind Pump 2286

[@claudinedecarlisle8647]

Your videos have helped me so much. I used to work out regularly and with time had let that slip away. Last fall I had a kidney removed due to cancer, and my focus has returned to getting my body healthy. At 63 I'm back lifting weights. Thank you guys!

[@artbymatt7170]

48 years old and the knowledge I have learned from the guys at Mind Pump has helped me get in a healthier mindset.

[@mrzfranklin06]

I loved Scholastic book fairs when I was a kid!

[@dermnp1603]

You guys continue to impress me, your content is so real. Bars and protein powders have so many bad ingredients. Whole Foods are the best. Most trainers dont even discuss this topic. You guys are with me on vacation in South America, lifting in the hotel gym! Would love Maps program

[@kyle.plattner]

What an insightful discussion on the importance of prioritizing whole foods over processed foods for optimal health and fitness! Thank you for the reminders! It influenced my decisions already today after listening. Keep up the great work! Better every day!

[@feseabra3479]

It's the first time I hear fitness professionals admitting that protein shakes and bars are just processed food with protein. Well done!

[@bethaneybowman1937]

Thank you guys for everything you do and all the people your helping

[@lilol902]

Just love hearing you while having my morning coffee ☕️. Always interesting conversations and good vibes

[@believeinjesus8300]

I used a suspension trainer today just messing around, trying different things. I used it to do bicep curls and it was awesome I did 3 sets of max reps. Wowzerss. 💪🏾

[@TriciaPaul-o9e]

I have been struggling with always feeling hungry even though I’m “hitting” my protein every day. Realized that protein powder just isn’t cutting it. Thanks for the info! Definitely going to make the switch to whole foods and see what happens!

[@kellyfennessey404]

I was always feeling still hungry even though I was hitting way over protein I needed. Lately I added a lot of veggies to my chicken and it fills me up. I discovered spaghetti and angel hair pasta made out of artichokes and it fills me up

[@Zx6rBlue]

I think protein powders and bars have their place. With powders if you struggle to hit your protein target in a day, powders don't create too much load on your digestive system. Protein bars can be treated as a dessert and can provide a bit of mental relief from dieting. It's all about balance.

[@ktbird1869]

49 years old and I've been thoroughly enjoying Mind Pump for some time now. Your videos have been so helpful! I really appreciate the great work you guys are doing. Keep up the awesome work fellas 💪🏻 I definitely do my best to eat whole foods for my protein intake 😉

[@ewelinalicka11]

I love how all of your Maps programs are so versatile! Can be used for young , old, new, pros, those that recover or those that need life improvement ❤. You have created something very special guys! 😊

[@AB-lb4zv]

Love how you guys demonstrate self awareness, grace, and empathy while dealing with family as well as each other and getting those personal pan cheese pizzas from Pizza Hut because of the book/reading scholastic thing was top tier

[@andyspastryshop]

I do feel full ALL the time!! It’s not bad and it’s good to know I’m eating whole natural foods!! 😅

[@OctoberOmicron]

Oh wow, your Scholastic commentary really took me back. I don't know if it was just California or nation wide but I definitely took advantage of that program. Some posters, stickers and bookmarks, but always at least 10 books. A few kids in my classroom would get two or three in a padded envelope, but I was always the one with the box. No matter how poor we ever were, my mom always took care of me in the book department. And couldn't help but chuckle when at 0:11 Adam utters "what!?" concerning Sal's protein bar comments. 😆

[@katiemoynahan7340]

Great information, I enjoy watching you guys.

[@josephregel1]

Great show. Thanks guys!

[@alexisgallegos23]

My favorite podcast by far! I love that they make learning enjoyable!

[@mildlyhot1]

I feel exactly the same with protein shakes. I used to use them as breakfast supplements but kept finding myself starving by lunch during a cut. I now have a whole food breakfast and it’s much easier to keep the calories low

[@JosephEGlaser]

great episode. i have started adding more protein to my diet and added trigger sessions to my training as a result of this podcast. to avoid the pitfalls of shakes or bars, I will sometimes use a bar in lieu of typical "carby" snack and don't rely on them. I use unflavored protein powder on a near daily basis which reduces the calories you take with it, and allows you to add it to other foods more easily. i also tend to add the powder to my breakfast to frontload my diet. it seems to be helping. i otherwise use mostly whole foods, including animal protein and try to favor vegetables or "carb" sources that have more protein in them. thanks guys!

[@twinkienatorten2654]

Just found you guys recently, through Thomas’s channel. Already learned so much from the pod casts I’ve heard in this short time. I started on this heath journey about 14 years ago, when I graduated from high school. After graduating I noticed that I started to gain weight. I’ve played sports all my life, been really active but my activity dramatically went down after high schools and kept eating how I used to. I started to hate that my performance was going down and the short of breath made me conscious of my health. This made me change my eating habits and has kept me in pretty good shape but I recently started to do resistance training at home because I want to get a more defining, toned body and leaner. So I started to cut down on my calories, I am trying to reach my protein goal but I am not loosing percentage body fat and I do notice that my upper right arms look bigger than my left side. What can I do to fix this mistake?

[@Gingerinthesouth]

Yall I needed this!! Lateral stability ✅ my left hip must be out of whack so thanks so much!

[@andrewmoceri5160]

Where is the info about the trust related stuff? Can’t find the link in description. Also I appreciate you guys and all the solid info you provide. This podcast is the best positive influence i could ask for!!

[@racegal428]

Just FYI regarding the Kroger/Albertsons merger... both companies own MANY brands each. Albertsons Companies owns 20+ brands (Safeway, Lucky Stores, Jewel Osco, United Supermarkets, etc). Same for Kroger!

[@jbbbjj]

For Listener Q1... I used to have the same problem. I no longer eat any carbs in am except residual from whole veggies and instead save them for mid day and evening meals and that problem went away. If I had rice or potatoes or bread in am, I would be dead rest of day. And this is regardless of sleep amount.i can eat those foods in other meals with no negative consequences.

[@buckalbritton7811]

So Sal, at the beginning of the show you talked about how today you worked out while angry over doing it.. and at the end of the show you were discussing how working out for a distraction can be abusive. Brilliant, how you tied it all together. lol

[@facesbylucy]

I feel like your caller who was concerned with her shoulders is really similar to me. I switched to body weight exercises and stopped lifting heavy upper body and I look and feel so much better. She might actually need to lower her volume in her upper body. I know it depends on body fat percentage, but as a woman you CAN get too muscular and not feel comfortable in your skin anymore. Some women do build really easily.

[@mayra_m767]

Wow! My teen goes to the gym and eats really well and has grown muscle! She's 16 and on the right track with her health. I got protein powder and we use it sparingly on yogurt bowls that include kefir but i just had the conversation with her about moving away from all processed foods, even the "health" ones such as protein powder

[@Dorko85]

I wish you guys filtered/ prepared the callers. Many just drag on and talk crap.

[@Burkhimself]

To that first caller, on top of “blacking out” the bedroom, I’ve found that a white noise machine (or KZbin vid of that), ashwaganda & magnesium body spray has really helped me sleep better and more solid. 💪🏼

[@brettwimberly768]

Adam I'm telling you now bro. I've been on Wegovy for 4 months. Weed munchies do overpower the wegovy 😂. But I don't feel like have to smoke all the time now also so....

[@Road2the50s]

We all did who lifting at one point. Mine started to go away as I start to get closer to my fifties. I guess because I now lift for health and longevity.

[@Just.Daddio]

I really do try my best to eat whole foods but I do love my Protein shake that I make for breakfast but its not just powder and milk... Its Almond Milk, Greek Yogurt, Banana, PB, Hemp Hearts, Cinnamon... and it is Yummy and perfect for me for post workout in AM before work! All other meals are whole foods! eggs, meats, veggies, fruits... etc! Slowly working on increasing my calories now too because of you guys... been 4 weeks and weight staying roughly the same and down belt buckles!

[@mkeklpse1]

On my second week of anabolic and reverse diet for a month now. Adding more calories but no body fat. Looking forward to seeing the results at the end of this.

[@mattTHEEgreat]

I saw a video where a guy set up some AI prompts to where people can invest in the same stocks that Nancy is investing in. They set up a profile and whatever and just choose an auto invest option you whenever Nancy buys or sells a stock your profile will match. Idk if it's the same one Justin was talking about or not but it's wild.

[@Boostisablast]

It seems like my whole day is planning and eating when I hit my goals from Whole Foods. Such a struggle so I’ve accepted a daily shake in my life 1-2scoops

[@justingriffin7127]

I need to stop waiting until the end to comment, I keep forgetting what I was going to say 😂 Protein bars and powders may be processed, but they're a lot easier to carry on the go when you need that little boost and you're not around refrigeration or a way to heat up that chicken breast or steak.

[@lisawells9339]

Have learned so much from you guys. Thank you.

[@crystaldingman773]

Two questions. The first requires some background. So I eat a vegetarian diet and have for 30 years. I understand this isn’t the “ healthiest” diet and I do believe my health is suffering because of it. I’m 43, hypothyroid, chronically exhausted and really just don’t feel well ever. I really don’t eat a whole lot but I do only eat whole foods with the exception of a severe popsicle and Mr. Freeze addiction. That will be explained in my second question. So - I can only manage about 15 grams of protein per day. Any time I try to eat a meal that contains more than 10-15 grams of protein I’m extremely nauseous within two hours and end up throwing it up about four-six hours later. I weigh 110 lbs. have you ever come across anyone who can’t tolerate protein? Any suggestions as to how I can sneak in more protein? I’m literally missing about 95 Grams per day. Second - I end every day with about 3 jumbo Freezes and 4-6 popsicles. I do this intentionally because I don’t drink water. I don’t like water - I’m never thirsty and I’m always too full to manage both food and fluids. I have to choose between. So is it better to stay chronically dehydrated or to ingest the million grams of glucose that I do in order to force the fluids in? I make a point of trying to finish a 500 ml bottle of water every day but never finish it. It’s like - I’m a small person with a small stomach and can’t fit all these things in. I workout 3 days per week ( used to be 7). Anyone else protein intolerant? Is that a thing?

[@gingerwithsoul2212]

I make homemade protein shakes with frozen berries, a banana and Greek yogurt maybe stevia. Cheaper and more whole Protein shakes and powders are referred to as “supplements “ therefore shouldn’t be the main or major source of protein. Processed foods when in excess in ones diet over time can increase peoples risk of chronic illinesses like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and even end stage renal disease. I see it I am a registered dietitian . Thanks for this episode

[@michaelcozzitortoiii5350]

I gotta say I tried really hard for about 3 years to eat 100% whole natural foods and I had horrible digestion issues. I ate a lb of beef a day and tried to shove as many veggies as I could into my meals and I struggled with constipation and diarrhea despite trying many things to solve it. What finally worked was not trying so hard to eat 100% Whole Foods. Now for dinner I have a bowl of cereal and a protein shake and I only have spinach with my one beef and rice meal a day and I think it is a lot less hard on my digestive system. If you use the app chronometer you can see all your micronutrients as well and I’m still hitting 100% of my micronutrients. Whole Foods are great and healthy but processed foods and protein shakes have their place too especially in my situation.

[@mmm-s6j]

i was once your fan now i am your split ac you all are awesome

[@newfiesig]

I have a hard time consuming enough protein. So I guess a protein powder is perfect for me.

[@markgarland4532]

I noticed that a lot of the protein bars have a lot saturated fat to add flavor. That seems to defeat the purpose. It’s a huge red flag when the calories far exceed the estimated protein calorie count. (4 calories per gram of protein.) I am guilty of reaching for an unflavored protein shake daily to try to hit my protein number without exceeding my desired calorie count for the day.

[@markbouvierjr.7446]

It was cool hearing Adam talk about his son crying. I find myself telling my son, "crying and yelling will never grt you what you want, it will only ever mske things worse."

[@drawnhere]

Isopure (unflavored) is my go-to protein powder. Only 2 ingredients and 100 calories for 25 grams of whey protein isolate. But obviously, real, whole food sources of protein are superior.

Yeah, cashierless stores is a prefect example of why Sal is wrong about the Kroger merge. Look at every self checkout at every store where you buy anything. Do you get a discount for checking and bagging yourself? No, you don't. They have One checker now doing the job of anywhere from 4 to 8 cashiers and saving all of that money on the applicable cost of those 4 to 8 employees. And you say that's fine, I appreciate the convenience of it. Except that they close all of the registers down, except for one. Now there's lines at both, you're still stuck waiting, and they're still making money. They will extract every last cent, and if people get mad, the off-brand market that they also own will come in and save the community, and they still make money. And no, I'm not a communist lib-tard, I'm a staunch capitalist. When big conglomerates own everything, including the supply chains that you think they're competitors are going to use to swoop in and open up the lower cost establishment for people to choose from, they won't have a chance because they have no supply chain to facilitate their business.

[@CKillit]

For the first caller, assuming that you're eating a significant amount of processed carbs, I would entertain the idea of going on a ketogenic diet and limit your carb intake for a period of time. Whenever I go on keto diet for months at a time, my mental clarity and focus improves drastically - I used to suffer horribly from brain fog and fatigue. Your energy levels should also greatly improve. It most likely is the inflammation caused by the foods you are consuming that is triggering the brain fog and fatigue. This is all assuming that some other kind of metabolic issue isn't the culprit. The weight loss you'll experience will also be an added bonus. Wishing you the best brother!

01:02:00 just from face it's obvious he has systemic inflammation. Too high carbs (prpbably too high HbA1c) too low fat intake. Too low fat & the nutrient deficiencies resulting from that messes up sleep quality. That plus ingestion of carbs result in brain fog. Slowly, over a period of 6-8 weeks decrease carbs & go keto at minimum, hypercarnivore (70% or over) if you can manage, you'll be good as new no more brain fog.
