10 Healthy Food Swaps On A Budget with George Kamel

[@KarenPaape-qg8jo]

A+ show! So informative! Thanks!

[@hannibalsings73]

I do over 90% of my grocery shopping at Aldi. The meat and veggies selections are top notch at a great price point.

[@kaelaleedaley]

The most frugal diet is one closest to the food plans of the late 1940's. Cooking whole foods from scratch and ensuring proper hydration and vitamin intake. It's cheap, filling and healthy

[@Meemee-mo5it]

Any advice on good websites to learn about this?

[@kaelaleedaley]

@@Meemee-mo5it I can recommend any of Marguerite Patten's written works (she was THE wartime authority for The Ministry of Food) and I found old US Public Service Videos about Nutrition on KZbin to be incredibly helpful! Xx

[@Meemee-mo5it]

@@kaelaleedaley 😎 Cool, thank you.

[@cristin8073]

These are nice options for those with allergies. But, generally speaking, gluten and dairy free is NOT automatically equal healthy 🙈

[@alyresaulnier5280]

i love george,i live in his world everyday

[@shaanagray1522]

George! Don’t forget sorbet! It’s gluten & dairy free!!! I own an ice cream truck and we always have raspberry or mango sorbet for the df/gf folks and it’s delicious!!

[@SD4Grace]

I love that George eats healthy! I have to eat this way too. George is so patient and understanding too. There are so many people that don't understand that eating healthy is not just a choice for some people.

[@hannahheartsedward]

Goat milk on cereal had me cracking up! There is nothing wrong with gluten as long as you aren't sensitive/intolerant. I'm glad these products exist for those who have to be gluten free.

[@karend7487]

I love when you two do an episode! So fun and so informative 👌

[@kelliconlan8133]

We are a dairy/gluten free home. Aldi offers MANY gluten-free and dairy-free items at there store. And at Aldi is saves money for sure.

[@daniellepuckett5221]

I love when you both do a show together. I'm cracking up! Lol 🤣

[@Sinful_Survivor]

I have the same problem as Rachel, love Bread and Dairy lol but thankfully I watch my portions and I exercise daily 😅

[@Girasoles]

Rachel & George are the dynamic duo!

[@sandrayarnell9498]

I usually don't comment. I am a quiet fan and watch all the time. I Loved this video!! I hope that you do more videos like this with George. I wish that we could hear more about healthier eating and George's gluten free diet and how he saves money on his grocery bill. Thank you and God Bless!

[@bacisplace2862]

Good points! Though I agree with Rachel - don't demonize fruit for its sugar content, yet have nothing to say about added sugars in the ice cream brands or caramel drizzle mentioned. LOL. Registered Dietitian Nutritionist here by the way. 🙋‍♀️🍎

[@rebeccahicks8242]

I started doing what george does I feel amazing!!!

[@AnnieDash]

George, I am allergic to wheat and milk and have been gluten-free and dairy-free for 14 years. It's been life-changing for me and it sounds like it has for you too!

[@angeluceta5688]

most people that say they are allergic to milk are not.i was one of them.try real milk from a pastured farm from a none breed

[@irenegarcia1851]

Staying away from wheat and dairy has helped my daughter with her autism

[@jonimurray1184]

The last couple of years I have had to become gluten free and should be dairy and corn free as well. I love cooking and baking so that first year was miserable for me. Now after trying many things I have found some amazing recipes and products. I am always excited to find out about new things to try.

[@organicpopcorn]

I think this is a great video to get peoples wheels turning if they’ve never touched on the subject. If you’ve already been budgeting and are doing the ideas that they said, I don’t think it will be as helpful for you. We are a growing family of five on a tight budget. For families like us, I think it is going to be difficult as the years go on to provide well-rounded, healthy meals for our families.

[@pamelahughes1469]

George try organic popcorn with avacado oil and Himalayan salt. It's so great!!!

[@zachbrown9031]

George: i’ve been avoiding dairy Also George: I’ve got the best costco pizza for you! 😂

[@Muchacha2024]

Lol. I thought that, too.

[@reneeroath1048]

Caramel also had dairy. It's really hard to find dairy free caramel. I was pretty confused too

[@CommonSenseFilms1]

Just take the cheese off the pizza.

[@debimorsette1685]

Fun video. Nice to see your friendly banter and heard a lot of good tips. I am a 69 yo retired debt and mortgage free grandma.

[@Ryan-rg1wz]

Fave duo! Watching from London, got Aldi here and Whole foods and many more. Kinda relate a bit from the grocery comparison videos 😃

[@jessicaallen7176]

Kamel and Cruz. Should be at least a weekly thing. You guys have great energy together.

[@Elizabeth-pz7rq]

Hey what you said came true 😅enjoying their podcast

[@patriciamenon9271]

Loving Rachel’s reactions 😁I understand all the words he’s using I jump on an off the keto train for years also understand all the u. Healthy foods , sometimes we just need a break 😫 thanks George

[@90Stay]

Love this video! My son is a firefighter and he’s dairy and gluten intolerant. And a newlywed! It’s hard to find budget friendly healthy items. Aldi and Walmart are good to check. More of these videos please It was very fun to watch too. Blessings!

[@georgewagner7787]

Aldi has awesome gluten free pizza but I don't know if there's a cheeseless one.

[@90Stay]

Yes! Walmart does sell daiya pizza which is gluten free and dairy free and pretty good.

[@zumbimax]

George is like "Moe trying to kick Barney out of the bar and then Barney shows back again-meme" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@chrisroberts9197]

George hit the nail on the head with sugar-free and the artificial sweeteners. Aspartame in particular is the worst one of them all.

[@Roxyfull_]

I wish I could carry a mini George and a mini Rachel in my pocket at all times ❤

[@jenniferbaker6828]

So I just have to say you two are so fun to listen to…I learn something every time from George about something that would never be on my radar and Rachel just wait till George has kids….he will be buying that peanut butter that you don’t have to stir…..you are so real and my daughter and I just love ya! Cute jeans BTW!

[@kiffanibond165]

Great job, guys!!!

[@maeroede8111]

"I'm not Dwight Schrute!" 🤣

[@kimmarbo8643]

Fruit by itself is the best meal. 💗 Cheap & Healthy!

[@beautyfanatic89]

I have a gluten allergy too and until I figured it out I was soooo sick. It definitely is easier to find gluten free foods now days. Glad I’m in 2022!

[@jasminmesa1811]

-I stick to black coffee ... -Has a coffee w oatmilk and caramel drizzle on the side of the couch lol Loved the video

[@TonicBlade]

Second half of the video is the on a budget part lol. I was like "Dang some of the items can be pricey" when he was talking about some gluten free/Dairy free alternatives.

[@ginadowd1713]

I am gluten sensitive because of Lupus. All gluten causes inflammation and inflammation is my enemy! Also, there are 2 things I find as major money savers in making meat go further: 1. A chopstir for separating the granules 2. Mushrooms! They had body and flavor!

[@CommonSenseFilms1]

7:47 on the dairy issue.

[@totallifehacker1781]

I am grain free and my family are gluten free. We also shop at Costco and trader Joe's

[@Clic03]

So funny. You mentioned Mayfield and Jeni's. I love them both too!!!

[@irenegarcia1851]

Staying away from wheat and dairy has helped my daughter with autism

[@jenniferm4070]

George, why caution against the sugar in fruit right after pushing the non-dairy ice cream as a "health" food?

[@andyreins6534]

BEST BREAD now…..is BFREE!! Not the white, but the grain one. Officially blows all the others we’ve tried out of water! Trust me

[@MR3DDev]

A good way to save money is to try intermittent fasting. Our grocery list is smaller since we don't have breakfast

[@kats4976]

I'm about to go on an AIP diet (no gluten, no dairy, no nuts, no sugar/sugar subs, or artificial ingredients - as well as some other things). I'm excited to learn that gluten and dairy free helps George!

[@JB11334]

FYI Papa Johns pizza has better ingredients than most pizza places. It’s made with whole flour (not enriched or bleached) and no high fructose corn syrup either. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also I agree George in the topic of ice cream. Blue Bell 👎🏻 We are lactose intolerant and the ice creams you mentioned, the bars you mentioned, it can be expensive.

[@IlliniPicker]

How is the flavor on the gluten-free (opposed to the regular pizza like the italiian sausage they have) thin-crust?

[@lin90210]

Haha such a funny video. Sibling vibes. I wish I could tolerate lactose and eat pizza all day :( I miss cheese

[@camilagenevieve7677]

I loved I Dream of Genie as a four year old!

[@sea3268]

Most Carmel sauce has wheat and dairy in it…might want to check that since you had the cold brew with it.

[@arizonadesert5861]

Organic Rice and beans with tomatoes, cucumber, boil eggs and some lime and top 😋😋😋😋

[@YanilleCastillo]

Rachel besides budgeting can u maybe do a video on how to get organized with your statements like what’s your book keeping look like . I got in a huge mess with my bank for not tracking every dollar they owe me 5k in checks that I thought cleared for not looking at where my money was going but since I didn’t keep receipts I can’t find it on my statements and they said if I don’t have the proof of those deposits they can’t pay me back mind you these where checks from the court of a debt I owed that they garnished over a year and half after I paid them off they paid me back but I deposited checks of $200 for 1 1/2 years didn’t look back I still was learning about u guys at that time I discover this mistake because they sent me a letter saying they made bank errors but I need proof from years ago of those transactions in order to get what they owe me and I can’t provide them with those receipts and they know that so wisdom key the importance of tracking every dollar I cried for two hours two days ago . Running from that bank tomorrow. So what’s a good way to. Be in order with bank statements receipts of deposits , bills etc if u r lead by Holy Ghost can u make a video. I learned such a lesson at age 42 if I would of been budgeting at that time if those checks this would of never happened to me and I’m running tomorrow pay day to get the app of tracking every dollar guys read this so nothing like this happens to u I don’t wish this on anyone 🙏🤦‍♀️❤️🙏

[@YanilleCastillo]

They where garnishing after I paid them off that’s why they sent me refunds for a year and half I left that out

[@asianangel5400]

I've been vegetarian for 16 years. I sometimes eat plant base and GF as well. I also IF

[@jackiem9460]

Ironic that I'm watching this while eating donuts lol

[@JoeLanthier]

Can you do a behind the scenes of your setup and what cameras and everything you use? 🤗

[@tiggleh]

Lol Rachel is a big fan of Gluten 😆

[@brendaplans1992]

Rachel, you have to start reading the labels. Truly, the detrimental ingredients that the FDA allows in our foods (that are not allowed in foods in other countries) is staggering. GUMs 😂

[@arizonadesert5861]

I prefer eat rice and beans with tomato then eat all the bad ingredients big corporations add to food today days

[@sylviaseverson7297]

Yes Papa Johns Pizza # 1

[@chantals579]

Yes, I love half baked harvest recipes!! I hope she comes out with more cookbooks. And George no, not everyone has a Walmart in there area. I live in the mountains and the two grocery stores closest to me (25min drive) are Albertsons and Ridleys. I wish I had an aldi because I hear lots of good things about it.

[@georgewagner7787]

No Walmart in nyc either. They don't want them putting the mom and pops out of business

[@chantals579]

@@georgewagner7787 just how it should be! Good for nyc

[@CommonSenseFilms1]

Oat milk is so good.

[@dianaweber4396]

Dark Shadows...maybe!

[@nicoleziegler1486]

So hard to find affordable grain free options. I can easily do just meat, nuts/seeds, veggies and fruit but adding in any grain free snacks skyrockets the bill.

[@Sarah-rf2eu]

I am 100% with George, I eat the same way and totally get what he is saying. :) It's def been tough with inflation as I've had to cut back on organic and now focusing on more whole food REAL ingredients. Fun watching this.

[@ninsartcabinet]

Thank you George! I was recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance, always on the lookout for good food.

[@YanilleCastillo]

I’m thinking if I can go to court house and explain what happened and when they see wellsfargo didn’t cash them and hopefully believe I deposited them maybe they can hold wellsfargo responsible I’m so clueless and stressed 😩

[@lbuehler325]

Are those Costco pizzas (gluten free) George likes also non-dairy (George says he's dairy free)?

[@saradeaton687]

George, get a Ninja Creami to make your own ice cream! Sorbet or any type of milk can be used.

[@saradeaton687]

And garden, which is the easiest way to go organic!

[@MP-il9wh]

Love the useful content for fellow mommies with mouths to feed. However the b-rolls is making my dizzy and the lack of text and transition is a bit .... the video editing could use a little bit more love.

[@charitydigioia4429]

gluten free and dairy free does not equal healthy this should be titled eating for allergies

[@valerieosborne16]

Always read ingredients!! Not all gluten free products have clean ingredients. Grass fed farm meat. Lamb is the best meat.

[@luckylib]

Hey yall

[@anaroman1499]

Just get Keto bread, they are so good.

[@victoriamoberg1220]

I made my own almond milk with a almond cow machine and I make PB with just peanuts in a blender :) cheaper

[@Meemee-mo5it]

Healthy food on a budget? Ten minutes in and nothing cost savings. It is all about gluten free or dairy free foods which are often not cost effective.

[@aliciaamond8148]

Instead of buying gluten free wraps... Do lettuce wraps

[@Pugs365]

Healthy doesn't just mean Gluten or Dairy free. The less ingredients the better.

[@marjoriebaut7981]

I also read the ingredients 🤣🤣 NO GUM or natural or artificial flavors

[@adawilliams9791]

I thought the title of this video was healthy eat ON A BUDGET!! All of the brands/foods that George mentioned are 2x more expensive than regular brands. Wish I made 6 figures like these two to afford their shopping habits

[@joyfarmergal1222]

Same here. I like watching Rachel's videos, but it hurts seeing the "frugal" ideas. The last two years, my food budget has been an average of $36.50 a month. I live in the midwest of the USA. Due to multiple disabilities, most days I'm not very functional so live on a very low income. The last two years I've lived primarily on dried beans (cooked obviously) as they are one of the least expensive foods. Seeing suggestions for $5 dinners, that just isn't an option except on very rare occasions.

[@TonicBlade]

I was confused at first part too. The second half of video is more of the budget part. First part was health alternatives not cheap at all

[@mark.daniel]

@@joyfarmergal1222 $5 for dinner isn't too bad considering what groceries cost these days. But I hear you.

[@nalahrawr]

These are just food swaps. not healthy food swaps. It's not like the other stuff is unhealthy for you, it's just excess that is unhealthy. I would also argue this isn't even budget friendly...

[@lukeharris2622]

You lost me when you dissed Blue Bell! Also, we don't have a Kroger, Costco, Aldi, or Trader Joe's near us!
