I ate NOTHING but dhal, rice and bhagi (for 30 days)

This video chronicles the challenge of avoiding sugar, flour and alcohol for 30 days and eating nothing but dhal, rice and bhagi. Along the way there are blood tests and feedback from a childhoo doctor. Did I mention needles terrify me?

[@davo29]

In my book your experiment worked, because you was almost borderline diabetic and your HBa1c dropped. Now I agree with the doctor, you don't have to eat Dahl rice & bhagie alone. But I don't understand how could the doctor tell you to just eat anything and not to keep up with your diet. Well done 👍🏽

[@erminealleyne9815]

Lyndon you remember i had to cook dial and rice for you every day and now Kim cookig it

[@arianayoung7537]

I don't have luck with Dhall? After eating it is only gas ⛽️ and burping after? Even I don't put pepper and Saffron? Any beans I ate is the same problems I have after. Gasssssst to sell lol OMG 🌶

[@erminealleyne9815]

Lyndon i ca nt n belive that Kim is cooking dahal and baggie for you as a little boy i had to cook dahal for you

[@JacobandNichVlogs]

Were you in extra foods this week? Tuesday? When I was walking in I saw someone looking like u driving out

[@jagdeomoonasar6335]

Man I went on a vegetable soup diet at the age of 56 and when I went to the doctors, I was doing a medical for life insurance the doctor couldn't believe he said for my age nothing was wrong, the doctor made me do exercise in his office man every test he did he saying nah it to good to be true but then again I'm vegetarian for over 30 years and still feels good and I'm 63 now

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Sounds great. Vegetable soup diet? Hmmmmmm. Continued health to you, Jagdeo.

[@shernadehosein3749]

I loveeeeee these types of videos where you experiment with different foods and ideas etc !!! I could eat dhal rice and bhagi every day! This challenge easy for me!

[@sunnylove3521]

This is a very Ayurvedic diet..we are on your side Lyndon supporting you🙏🏽Kim you r d best!

[@MrHrkhan]

Nice video. There are other varieties of Bhaji in Trinidad, in addition to the Dasheen bushaka Taro leaves; there is the more common Chorai Bhaji - aka Amaranth, Poi Bhaji aka Malabar Spinach usually cooked with the dhall, Karmi Bhaji aka Morning Glory, and Pusley Bhaji aka Purslane, used in salads.

[@carolpasscall5987]

I do love dhal, rice and bhagi. Don't have dhal as often as I'd like since it raises my blood sugar. You are exactly right about portion control. I do understand you feeling hungry in between, having salads with a vinaigrette dressing or lime or lemon juice squeezed over it like what Farmer Harry did in one of the previous videos., cabbage , cucumbers, cauliflower, etc. These are like fillers and are considered free.

[@trini-rt6xn]

Very proud to see the excellent level of care by the folks at My Care Medical Lab!👍 And I may be mistaken, but I believe there was a slight change in Mr. Baptiste's complexion; it looked clearer. Very humourous doctor. 😂 He's also admirably knowledgeable about the History of the Diet of early East Indians who came to the West Indies as Indentured Servants. Indeed, many ate meat (aside from beef of course), and was primarily due to their Caste. So the learned Doctor is correct, East Indian Indentured Servants were NOT vegetarians as they're widely and erroneously thought to have been.

[@dellam.8321]

This is what I love Trinidad for the fresh vegetables straight from the tree/garden.

[@ninoskasingh5312]

Dhal spikes your sugar level. That's why you found it to be high. Good luck on your health journey.

[@jagdeomoonasar6335]

Man as I said before I love ur videos, continue doing good work. Add some salad with your food and if you could get some moringa leaves to add in the Bhagie and cook together

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Watch behind the scenes footage on "Lyndon Baptiste Raw" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJK3ZWB6lr6Ka7c

Dhal , bhaggi in coconut milk with provision. Healthy. Drink spring water.

1. Toaster oven provudes natural heat. 2. I dont use micriwave. 3. Plastics and heat dont mix, despite the label micriwave safe. 4. The old people always ate freshly cooked food, never fridge food, food for thought, lol pun not intended. 5. I love dhal rice bhagi😋

30 days of rice dhal and bhagi wouldn't be nice in the toilet

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Nah, man, it was smooth.

[@annettaguppy3861]

Hey, could you add English Subs for the two farmers, you have done videos on. They seem really cool but unfortunately I couldn't understand exactly what was been said on their part. Thanks,

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Hi! Thanks for your suggestion. I'll be honest with you. In the recent past I've added subtitles to two or three videos, but had to stop; it's a time-consuming effort, and between filming, editing etc I couldn't keep up with the effort. As time allows though I'll get around to it. Something to note: KZbin auto-generates subtitles which you can enable but given our dialect the results can be pretty wonky. Cheers.

[@annettaguppy3861]

@@lyndonbaptiste Thanks for getting back and with your honesty, understandably so.

[@indrahardial2609]

I remembered about 30yrs ago my cousin told his aunt that the only thing he feeling to eat is dhal rice & bhagi. She gave it to him for breakfast lunch and dinner. After 5 days later he didn't want to see any dhal rice & bhagi!😂 Good luck Lyndon👍

[@pearlygreeves9317]

I love it... dhal rice and bhagi.

[@arsingh9411]

do you have audiobooks of your books?

[@lyndonbaptiste]

I don't but I hope to. One day. God willing. I'd love to do dad's book, The Ghost of Caura.

[@mranderson5791]

"Ah feel like half cup ah rice is a lil bit" favorite line lolol

[@lyndonbaptiste]

I figure if I use smaller plates it might help.

[@Luke-Emmanuel]

Coconut milk in the dhal or Bhagi makes it easy. As you would be getting your daily fat in and your body and mind will be satisfied nutritionally. Fat is important for fat soluble vitamins.

[@ayeshak7015]

Yes, Lyndon, you can make the challenge, but by the end of it you might turn green!!! and look like a new man.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

I might turn into Hulk!

Bro ah enjoyed this video. The doctor really funny as well lol. Stay health and eat everything that you can eat. To much for one thing not good... Your head look abit smaller lol. Keep up the good work 👏

Lyndon you remember i had too cook dahal when you were a kettle boy every day

[@lyndonbaptiste]

I do! Thanks for all the food, Ermine!

[@trinij2585]

Lyndon. Although your cholesterol are bellow 200, I want you to pay attention of the ranges of your LDL and HDL. Ideally you need to lower your LDL and increase your HDL. If oil was a part of the preparation that may be a factor for the numbers. Your cholesterol is not ideal brother. Look at your numbers and the ranges in the other column. Challenge yourself to increase your HDL and lower your LDL.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Thanks for the tip. I'll investigate these strange acronyms.

[@d.r.productions]

for ah next video do surviving with only water for 30 days

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Thanks but I go pass.

[@enuad1986]

Interesting,i have some constructive criticism for you-I hope that you in reality didn’t stick to that diet for 30 days because from a dietary standpoint it makes zero sense,always eat a Mediterranean style diet for optimal nutrition.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

I did stick to it for 30 days. I've heard about Mediterranean. I'll look into it again. Thanks.

It's all good except reheating plastic in the microwave.

[@ThePhoenix6943]

Lyndon, i watched this video and previous ones with you discussing your health and fitness and sad to say you are falling into the same trap as all trinidadians for the past 200 years.....ill just list out the points: 1) all food is NOT equal. 2) meat is NOT the enemy, in fact there's a saying "you need flesh to sustain flesh" 3) a vegetarian diet is NOT healthy and damages your brain long term. 4) the nutritional content of vegetables, legumes and fruits is NOT what it used to be 50 years ago. 5) carbohydrates are COMPLEX SUGARS and eating too much flour based products is one of your major setbacks. 6) u should not fear animal fats (in moderation of course) it helps to regulate your testosterone levels. 7) there is NO vegetarian substitute for REAL ANIMAL protein aka meat, fish eggs etc.....and lastly NO BREDA MAN DOUBLES IS NOT A HEALTHY MEAL OPTION. fun fact.....the average life span of an indian indentured worker who's diet was mostly vegetarian...roti, aloo, and you "dhal rice and bhagi" was 25 to 30......u cant just keep piling starch (complex sugar) upon starch and expect your body muscles and organs to repair. Doctors wont tell you this truth.....if they did they would be out of a job. I have been seeing too many stupid videos trying to lead people to think its either or......vegetarian or carnivore diet thats "healthier" which in fact is a bunch of BS....human beings are OMNIVORES PERIOD. meat and animal protein is for muscle repair and growth, ur NATURAL CARB SCOURCES (rice, provision, potato etc) is your body's fuel, the animal fats regulate your hormones, and fruits and veggies provide the vitamins and minerals......the key is BALANCE, and cut out all da junk food yuh does be eatin....leave that for the kids.......I issue this challenge to you Mr Lyndon Baptiste: cut out all flour products, junk snacks, soda (soft drinks) and alcohol and processed bottled "juices" for 7 days and see what happens.....u could pretty much eat everything else once its a naturally occuring food (not a processed product) i could bet money u will see results........respond or reply if you think you are brave enough to accept the challenge.

[@lyndonbaptiste]
