I am an over the road truck driver. Listen to him! I lost 60 pounds in 7 months doing this. Some of the meat I bought was already fully cooked, but I pretty much did a high protein low carb diet with a mini air fryer. Worked out at planet fitness every couple of days and the pounds rolled right off. Even when not in a deficit at first, you can slowly increase time inbetween meals as you adjust to a low sugar and low carb diet. If you’re pre diabetic, there’s a chance your blood sugar can get to healthy levels doing this.
Im a mixer driver an can't seem to find the grove of things and after reading your comment i realized i should be able to as well your otr more then i am on the road 🙏
A really good way is to open up the walmart app ( or whichever store you shop at) and as he shops , you do the same online for a pick up order. You only order what you need&Learn new recipes with new ingredients.
Dude I work at Walmart in the meat department. This is a life saver for my lunch breaks. I've been sticking to about 1500 calories a day. Drinking muscle milk and salads alot, the occasional beef jerky and parfaits and I've dropped 23 pounds in a couple weeks. Down from 316 to 293. Gonna keep this up, having the knowledge of what to eat makes it so much easier.
@@yaoipurpleheart Easy, eat a couple hamburgers with the grass fed beef. 1lb of ground beef is almost 100g of protein. I'm not sure what Thomas does for a bun, but you could always lettuce wrap it, which I do at restaurants. Throw in some cheddar or Mozzarella for added protein.
This man is always trying his best to make sense of everything. And without him I'd be lost. I myself don't have the time or the energy to go through trials and errors with my diet. He's a living walking example and practices what he preaches. He's an honest Joe approach. I'm sure he doesn't hear this enough but I approach his channel
There’s a huge difference in Walmarts, and what they stock, depending on the neighborhood and if the store is a super center, built it with the grocery department, or it’s an older store and they just crammed the grocery part in there.
I really appreciate that you are not only fit and offering nutritional advice but it’s not fad based but actual science. Also you are realistic but still offering the better quality options. Keep it up!
1. Fresh Blueberries: Mentioned for their high fructose content, slow digestion properties, and brain-boosting anthocyanins that help with satiety and mental clarity. 2. Mushrooms: Highlighted for their high fiber content, slow digestion, gut microbiome benefits, and satiating effect, particularly when used as a topping on burgers. 3. Grass-Fed Organic Beef: Recommended for its high protein content, leaner cuts to reduce calorie intake, and its role in controlling glucose levels and promoting satiety for fat loss. 4. Pork: Noted for being a forgotten meat option with high protein and monounsaturated fats, aiding in fat loss and providing a different protein source. 5. Ground Chicken: Specifically 96% lean ground chicken mentioned for its high protein content, affordability, and convenience as a fat loss food option. 6. Wild Caught Salmon: Recommended for its high protein content, low fat, and good omega-3 fatty acids that can assist with fat loss and overall health. 7. Kimchi: Highlighted for its probiotic benefits for gut health, prebiotic fibers, and potential impact on metabolism and satiety. 8. Nutritional Yeast: Mentioned for its rich source of vitamin B12, protein content, and cheesy taste that can be a healthier alternative to cheese. 9. Chocolate (Unsweetened Baking): Recommended in moderation for its epicatechin content to affect endorphins and brain chemistry, potentially reducing cravings and promoting satiety. 10. Paleo Powder (Almond and Flax): Suggested as a breading alternative for its high fiber content from flaxseed, flax's impact on estrogen metabolism, and the potential satiating effect of flax seeds. 11. Olive Oil and Avocado Oil: Recommended as healthier fats for cooking and promoting satiety, particularly due to olive oil's thermogenic effects on brown fat and potential benefits for insulin resistance. These foods were mentioned in the video due to their specific nutritional properties that can support fat loss, promote satiety, improve gut health, enhance brain function, and provide alternative options for traditional high-calorie foods.
Since I started working out I eat Black beans, eggs, brown rice, deer, chicken breasts, tuna, salmon, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt+ blueberry+ banana smoothies 4-5 small meals a day and I'm never hungry and I reach my protein goal without buying powder.

unflavored protein powder is actually better because it's more versatile you can use it for like cooking and stuff i don't always just wanna drink it as a shake and also unflavored it doesn't taste that bad it's just a subtle natural milk flavor which is actually easier to drink than something sweet and i mean adding a little stevia and unsweetened cocoa powder to it if i did want chocolate seems like a better option

Super educational on this topic. Thank you for breaking down everything AND giving the reasons behind each point. Most videos give you foods and items, but never the educational reasons explaining why. Awesome content!
This has been the most generous and helpful straight to the point/teaching video/info I have found on the internet. If I succeed with my weight loss journey I will owe you big with the info you have given. It's hard to figure things out, it almost seems like the industry doesn't want you to figure it out.
Respect to all you folks managing your diet and weight loss. I retired April 2023 and am trying to eat better being home all the time now. It’s the weekends that kill me. I just veer off badly. But I’ll keep trying. Kudos to you nutrition warriors.
Tip: I eat a big chunk of whatever meat I enjoy. This helps to keep you full for about hours. Say a double cut pork chop with a sweet potato. Guarantee you won’t want to snack later.
I drop a square of the bakers unsweetened chocolate into my black coffee in the morning...not many calories and gives all the cocaou benefits and a mocha taste for the coffee! I'm also a fan of triple zero yogurt! Great advice and awesome video 👏
I’ve picked up no less than 3 actionable tips from this video. Compare Protein v total calories, opt for lower fat proteins, weighing sugar free with a bit of artificial sweetener v full sugar sauces. Great stuff! Thank you!!!
Isopure has a low carb whey protein isolate sweetened with a bit of cane sugar and monk fruit. Amazon has a 3 lb tub that goes by "low carb chocolate", it's not the zero carb Dutch chocolate. I think they also have vanilla. I'll take the few more calories from the sugar over the sucralose.
ISOpure also has a zero-carb lineup of whey isolate which I love. The chocolate and toasted coconut flavors are great as well as cookies & cream. They use a bit of sucralose as a sweetener.
By far one of the best all encompassing videos I have seen to date!! I'm trying. I just discovered your channel. You have a new subscriber. I am 56 and I go to the gym alot and I think I 'm a pretty decent looking dude for my age but I still cannot get rid of the little bit of love handle belly fat. I have to admit...All these years I was completely unaware of the fact that YES you should be counting fat content as well...better late than never. I just wanna say one more thing. There are so many fitness and heath content providers on RUclips. These people all look good but most of them live an immoral lifestyle. I saw one the other day and the guy was taking about something called "body count". I never heard of this before. It's about how much sex you can have with different partners, the motivation being getting in shape and being rich and pursuing what this world has to offer. Nevertheless I will not be watching anything from his channel ever again. You mentioned your wife. That immediately tells me your disposition; Awesome. I will be watching and learning from your channel. I am hoping you're not one of these guys that flaunts his blessings. It doesn't look like it on your page though. Stay humble, God Bless!!
Thomas. I'm still asking about why now, your recommendation is to NOT break a fast with rice cakes, but your program, purchased in 2016, one option is breaking a fast with rice cakes and Almond butter. This is also in some of your videos, but your recent videos say it's not great. Please clarify.
Solid content bro. I am trying to transition from a strict Keto diet to something where I can slowly build more muscle mass and you are def blessing me with the proper info! Finally subbed :D
Thank you Thomas, this is so helpful. I love your videos where you talk about all the latest studies etc. but I still spend a ton of time applying it and trying to figure out what are the best options. This helps gives me the bottom line. (Although I have to admit you were a little more concerned about fat than I anticipated).
Thank you for helping us on a LOW Budget. I’ve been surviving off of Grocery Outlets health food section too. Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s are hour & 1/2 away & very pricey
Wow this is a very based and informative video. Fantastic job. I love that you said if you had to choose between losing 100 pounds or a little bit of artificial sweeteners, you would lose the 100 pounds. I think a lot of people get too caught up in that. Also love that you said to look for a high protein to calorie ratio. Exactly how I choose most of my foods.
Yup I say this all the time. You're going to be way healthier from the weight loss if you swap soda for diet soda, regardless of the sweeteners. Personally dieting is undoable for me if I cant have sweetness in my life so if Splenda wasn't around I would have a really hard time
Thomas, thank you for another great video. I love these type of videos and would also love videos on how your grocery haul could be turned into recipes and include a part two whereby you make a breakfast, lunch and dinner meal.
Yes,. We need to keep those accountable for quality foods and chemical free non GMO. You do a fantastic job helping to bring awareness to healthy eating.
I usually get unflavoured Micellar Casein, slow release protein throughout the day and night, and no added sugars or flavours. Always found it helps a lot with weight loss and low calorie diet
Listen to him walking down the store is like sitting for a lecture for semester....he has lots of crucial informations and helpful advices on picking the right food options.
I do walmart plus so I get all my groceries from there delivered weekly. I thank you for showing me more options. I haven't had spaghetti for 4 months because I didn't know which one to choose or is best for me. Also breakfast sausage and so on. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol and that opened my eyes. I have now changed my diet and stopped eating fast food and so much other food I thought was good for me and smaller portions with higher protein. I was at 241 lbs and since changing my diet I have lost 16 lbs and want to get to 160 lbs. I was always hungry eating garbage food. This new diet costs more but I can see the change in my body and how I am feeling. Thanks to you and others like you on youtube.
Thank you Thomas! I watch your videos for the scientific info but I love your videos because you have been where we are - trying to lose weight and get healthy. So I can believe you when you talk about things that work and things that don’t.
Love these videos because I tend to stick to the stuff that I’ve eaten before because I know it works for weight loss, but I get so unbelievably tired of eating the same things to the point that I lose my appetite and don’t eat nearly enough
Thomas! Come to the UK and do our supermarkets, it could be a sick video series! Love your videos my man, I have got down from 15 stone to 12.5 in 4 months from watching you and other RUclips Keto advocates, I can’t thank you enough! 🙏
This is the first video I've ever seen of his and I like your idea! That would actually be really cool to see, I'd watch for the education and the travel aspect.
This is an awesome focus on satiety. Have you found ‘healthy noodle’ at costco yet? It’s 30-60 calories that adds a serving or two to whatever you’re eating. Which means you’re eating more but only ingesting an extra 30 or 60 cal instead of 300+ calories of the cup of food you’re eating. Big help. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re awesome ❤
Happy New Year! I love how thoughtful you are of your family & fans! The information you provide to the viewers is so awesome! Please keep providing the information! Thank you so much!
Thank you for emphasizing the calories and protein ratio- the sugar free sauces scare me because of the sucrose but as the last ingredient… and low calories, it’s hard to pass up
After watching your other video on protein power where you recommended isopure’s protein power. I hunted my shelves at my local Walmart turns out they do sell the unflavored in my store. And I actually prefer it over the creamy vanilla.😊 I hope they don’t discontinue selling it in store
I've started eating a high protein diet. I find it to be very satiating, making it much easier to eat fewer calories throughout the day. I've lost 15-20 lb in the two months or so I've been on this diet.
I do too... I make meat sauce I buy an omelette kit at the deli onions and red pepper sometimes a stick of celery all pre sliced cause I am lazy. I use red pepper in place of carrots for the traditional flavour . And I add sliced up sour cabbage and call it lazy cabbage rolls with no rice. Sometimes I throw cheese on top in a baking dish, and put it in the air fryer and pretend it's lasagna.
Thomas love the informative videos as always! could you try to do a video/ deep dive into the lead content in dark chocolates & cocoa powders, it has really turned me off of of cocoa as of late even though it makes me feel satisfied from a snacking standpoint and has so many other mental+ benefits . Appreciate you brother
Walmarts Tuna is daily go to because I’m constantly on the go. You can eat it by itself out the pack or mix it into other food and keeps me full for longer. Great video
I love these shopping videos it’s so hard to find it and know which ones to get and it’s so nice that you go through all these different stores and help us out it makes a big difference and helps us out so much. Thank you
Why stop at 50’s? I’m 73 and work out with a trainer. Trying to find the eating plan that helps me lose fat while keeping and making more lean muscle is ongoing. Eliminating sugar was a big deal, but not enough. So I’m constantly experimenting. And I continue to add activities at Lifetime Fitness-recently sauna, soon outdoor pool and sun.
Thanks for this! I’m on a 1300 calorie diet so, for me, that means intermittent fasting and NO snacking. You don’t realize how many calories you’re consuming until you start plugging it all in to an app!
Mander 1n- don't let anyone tell you what you can or can not do when it comes to your health, dreams, and goals. I work out daily, and as a man, I only consume about 1800/1900 calories a day, so for a woman, 1300-1400 doesn't seem so bad depending on your goals and reason to lose weight, obviously, if you are looking to gains then you want to consume more calories to a limit, and if you are strictly focusing on weight loss you should be good. I have lost as of today 23.2 pounds and I feel amazing that was three weeks ago I average about 1.09 lbs lost daily. I was able to run again for the first time in a long time. You know your body, so if you feel a bit off, add 50 calories and continue to add until you feel good. When I told people the calories that I would consume I received comments like "that's too low, or don't rush it or my favorite you will never lose good fat at that amount, only muscle" blah, blah, blah, blah... well my doctor says different. Not only have I put on 5 pounds of muscle but also lost massive amounts of weight and shredding. So I say go for it and like I am doing quiet those nay-sayers. My only advice is to listen to your body, I started at only 1500 calories but realized to get the gain and still shred I would have to raise them and it worked for me, it too will work as long as you listen to your body..... Good luck...
@@Asiam339 I’m honestly going by what the calorie counting app suggested. But overall, I feel fantastic! I’m not losing dramatic weight, which is good in my opinion. Every day is different, depending on how I feel. Thank you for the kind words ❤️ much appreciated! Good luck on your life journey!!
I’ve been watching you for a couple of years and this is one of the best and useful videos you’ve done for us regular people who shop with a budget in mind. I was So excited to hear you eat a lot of yogurt like me! You seemed relaxed and funny and gave great tips. Thanks!
I love your shopping videos; how did I miss this? I'm also envious about the variety of healthy food options you have in the USA, such a great variety compared to Australia.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I definitely watched it before I walked in 😄 Learned a ton and was able to get most of the things you suggested! Thank you so much! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
That oikos yogurt is awesome. I buy two tubs at a time because my kids love it, too. I’ve looked at protein bars a lot but it’s hard to find clean ones that aren’t basically a candy bar. I’ve heard the Kirkland brand from Costco are pretty good so I might try those. I’m glad to see that a lot of the foods that you’re showing are foods I buy every week. I also love strawberries and they’re pretty affordable right now. I also wanted to mention low fat cottage cheese. It’s 13g of protein for 80 calories. How’s that for a ratio? And it’s very versatile. I not only eat it with fruit for a snack but you can blend it with a little water, mustard, and seasonings and it makes an awesome salad dressing.
Thank you for sharing your shopping trip. I live in the Midwest USA and Wal-Mart is a popular place to shop especially for produce on a budget. Thank you for emphasizing the protein/calorie ratio. I am just starting keto and am only looking at carbs.
I just found your channel and find it very informative since I mainly shop at Walmart. I do wish you would show the name of the product you are analyzing a little longer so I could have time to write it down. Thanks.
Excellent - and VERY informative video. I was greatly motivated to move foreward and feel like I won't be quite so confused with what's best to buy. Do more of these!
I absolutely love your videos, just which you showed the product names more clearly. Thank you for your information it is greatly helping me to take ahold of my health.
🍇 Blueberries are a Must-Try : Love the recommendation of blueberries for their low calories and brain-boosting benefits-definitely a smart snack choice!
First time I’ve come across one of your videos. Don’t usually watch videos this long But your content/style held my interest til the end. Great job. (subscribed)
Thank you for all this info! Many speak about high protein low carb....but how do you address hyp-o-glycemia symptoms (light headed, not feeling strong) for a non-diabetic? I feel like I need my carbs to feel strong. How would you address people like me?
A can of beans has about 25 grams of protein. Sometimes I can find Bush's on sale for around 75 cents per can. Put a can on your dashboard when you go to the gym. When you get out it's plenty warm enough to eat if the spring and summer months.

If I succeed with my weight loss journey I will owe you big with the info you have given. It's hard to figure things out, it almost seems like the industry doesn't want you to figure it out.
Respect to all you folks managing your diet and weight loss.
I retired April 2023 and am trying to eat better being home all the time now.
It’s the weekends that kill me. I just veer off badly. But I’ll keep trying.
Kudos to you nutrition warriors.
Try to find a hobby or something you like to do. Perhaps feed the ducks at the park or something
I respect your "never give up" attitude... just keep that spirit no matter what!
Tip: I eat a big chunk of whatever meat I enjoy. This helps to keep you full for about hours. Say a double cut pork chop with a sweet potato. Guarantee you won’t want to snack later.
Very in depth video! Loved that you didn't just stick to the grocery department, but showed EVERYTHING.
I drop a square of the bakers unsweetened chocolate into my black coffee in the morning...not many calories and gives all the cocaou benefits and a mocha taste for the coffee! I'm also a fan of triple zero yogurt! Great advice and awesome video 👏
I’ve picked up no less than 3 actionable tips from this video. Compare Protein v total calories, opt for lower fat proteins, weighing sugar free with a bit of artificial sweetener v full sugar sauces. Great stuff! Thank you!!!
love this I'm on my lost weight journey so far 15lbs another 15lbs to go!
Isopure has a low carb whey protein isolate sweetened with a bit of cane sugar and monk fruit. Amazon has a 3 lb tub that goes by "low carb chocolate", it's not the zero carb Dutch chocolate. I think they also have vanilla. I'll take the few more calories from the sugar over the sucralose.
ISOpure also has a zero-carb lineup of whey isolate which I love. The chocolate and toasted coconut flavors are great as well as cookies & cream. They use a bit of sucralose as a sweetener.
@@normr2 that’s my fave, chocolate is the best 👍🏾

Hey could you plzzz do one for target
By far one of the best all encompassing videos I have seen to date!! I'm trying. I just discovered your channel. You have a new subscriber. I am 56 and I go to the gym alot and I think I 'm a pretty decent looking dude for my age but I still cannot get rid of the little bit of love handle belly fat. I have to admit...All these years I was completely unaware of the fact that YES you should be counting fat content as well...better late than never. I just wanna say one more thing. There are so many fitness and heath content providers on RUclips. These people all look good but most of them live an immoral lifestyle. I saw one the other day and the guy was taking about something called "body count". I never heard of this before. It's about how much sex you can have with different partners, the motivation being getting in shape and being rich and pursuing what this world has to offer. Nevertheless I will not be watching anything from his channel ever again. You mentioned your wife. That immediately tells me your disposition; Awesome. I will be watching and learning from your channel. I am hoping you're not one of these guys that flaunts his blessings. It doesn't look like it on your page though. Stay humble, God Bless!!
Deer meat mmm
Thomas. I'm still asking about why now, your recommendation is to NOT break a fast with rice cakes, but your program, purchased in 2016, one option is breaking a fast with rice cakes and Almond butter. This is also in some of your videos, but your recent videos say it's not great. Please clarify.
Thank you I'm so glad for you!!🎉
Solid content bro. I am trying to transition from a strict Keto diet to something where I can slowly build more muscle mass and you are def blessing me with the proper info! Finally subbed :D
Thank you Thomas, this is so helpful. I love your videos where you talk about all the latest studies etc. but I still spend a ton of time applying it and trying to figure out what are the best options. This helps gives me the bottom line. (Although I have to admit you were a little more concerned about fat than I anticipated).
Thank you for helping us on a LOW Budget. I’ve been surviving off of Grocery Outlets health food section too.
Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s are hour & 1/2 away & very pricey
Wow this is a very based and informative video. Fantastic job. I love that you said if you had to choose between losing 100 pounds or a little bit of artificial sweeteners, you would lose the 100 pounds. I think a lot of people get too caught up in that. Also love that you said to look for a high protein to calorie ratio. Exactly how I choose most of my foods.
Yup I say this all the time. You're going to be way healthier from the weight loss if you swap soda for diet soda, regardless of the sweeteners.
Personally dieting is undoable for me if I cant have sweetness in my life so if Splenda wasn't around I would have a really hard time
Thomas, thank you for another great video. I love these type of videos and would also love videos on how your grocery haul could be turned into recipes and include a part two whereby you make a breakfast, lunch and dinner meal.
Love practical shopping videos, maybe sprouts new items next? The have faster and newer items faster than Whole Foods, Costco and Ralph’s etc :)
What do you mean "faster"?
@@estewar03they don't know that they are owned by the same companies 😂
@16:53 Tuna is mainly protein. Its also lowest of trace minerals. Get the Salmon pack with no flavoring, sardines, and get the oysters.
If I saw you doing this at Walmart. I would follow right behind you and put everything you pointed out in my basket.
Same!! 💯😂😂😂
I was thinking even if I were an old lady I’d do that seeing him 😂
Amen
VERY informative since I grocery shop at Walmart. Thank You. And the ghost of Joey Ramone makes an appearance at the 32:00 mark.
Yes,. We need to keep those accountable for quality foods and chemical free non GMO. You do a fantastic job helping to bring awareness to healthy eating.
I usually get unflavoured Micellar Casein, slow release protein throughout the day and night, and no added sugars or flavours. Always found it helps a lot with weight loss and low calorie diet
the sugar in fruit doesn’t spike insulin levels like processed sugar.
Listen to him walking down the store is like sitting for a lecture for semester....he has lots of crucial informations and helpful advices on picking the right food options.
I love this guy man! Appreciate how in-depth he goes into the different food choices. Great guy!
I do walmart plus so I get all my groceries from there delivered weekly. I thank you for showing me more options. I haven't had spaghetti for 4 months because I didn't know which one to choose or is best for me. Also breakfast sausage and so on. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol and that opened my eyes. I have now changed my diet and stopped eating fast food and so much other food I thought was good for me and smaller portions with higher protein. I was at 241 lbs and since changing my diet I have lost 16 lbs and want to get to 160 lbs. I was always hungry eating garbage food. This new diet costs more but I can see the change in my body and how I am feeling. Thanks to you and others like you on youtube.
Thank you Thomas! I watch your videos for the scientific info but I love your videos because you have been where we are - trying to lose weight and get healthy. So I can believe you when you talk about things that work and things that don’t.
Love these videos because I tend to stick to the stuff that I’ve eaten before because I know it works for weight loss, but I get so unbelievably tired of eating the same things to the point that I lose my appetite and don’t eat nearly enough
Love these videos! Always gives me new ideas for the week. Cooking for a family means getting things we all can eat.
Thomas! Come to the UK and do our supermarkets, it could be a sick video series! Love your videos my man, I have got down from 15 stone to 12.5 in 4 months from watching you and other RUclips Keto advocates, I can’t thank you enough! 🙏
This is the first video I've ever seen of his and I like your idea! That would actually be really cool to see, I'd watch for the education and the travel aspect.
This is an awesome focus on satiety.
Have you found ‘healthy noodle’ at costco yet?
It’s 30-60 calories that adds a serving or two to whatever you’re eating. Which means you’re eating more but only ingesting an extra 30 or 60 cal instead of 300+ calories of the cup of food you’re eating. Big help.
Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re awesome ❤
is that the Miracle Noodle aka Konjac noodle?
Healthy Noodles are the best! They are always stocked in my fridge.
@@Starfish2145 healthy noodle’ they’re sold in a box in the refrigeration section of Costco with the prepared, soups and scallop potatoes, etc.
Happy New Year! I love how thoughtful you are of your family & fans! The information you provide to the viewers is so awesome! Please keep providing the information! Thank you so much!
Thanks, TOMAS. you help me a lot with my health. I always truth you in teacvhing.
Thank you for this great information Thomas! So helpful!! I love that you have practical real world advice for us
Your channel is a huge inspiration! I’m loving the healthy snack ideas.
Sardines in water are always on my go-to list.
This was extremely helpful. Every week, we try making a grocery list and have no good inputs and end up buying a lot of junk. Now, I'm more prepared.
Thank you for emphasizing the calories and protein ratio- the sugar free sauces scare me because of the sucrose but as the last ingredient… and low calories, it’s hard to pass up
I just did some Walmart online shopping based on this video. Thank you!!!
After watching your other video on protein power where you recommended isopure’s protein power. I hunted my shelves at my local Walmart turns out they do sell the unflavored in my store. And I actually prefer it over the creamy vanilla.😊 I hope they don’t discontinue selling it in store
Try find without aspartam
5:00 if you can find it, round is great for homemade oven jerky and low fat. but its not popular so ive been having a hard time finding it lately.
I've started eating a high protein diet. I find it to be very satiating, making it much easier to eat fewer calories throughout the day. I've lost 15-20 lb in the two months or so I've been on this diet.
This is a valuable take on healthy choices with cost-effective prices. No talks about this on the internet always the organic pricey items.
I get organic tomato paste & make my own sauce. It’s not perfect but it keeps me on schedule with not penalties!
I do too... I make meat sauce I buy an omelette kit at the deli onions and red pepper sometimes a stick of celery all pre sliced cause I am lazy. I use red pepper in place of carrots for the traditional flavour . And I add sliced up sour cabbage and call it lazy cabbage rolls with no rice. Sometimes I throw cheese on top in a baking dish, and put it in the air fryer and pretend it's lasagna.
@@micks336 that sounds WONDERFUL!
Yum!!!
Thomas love the informative videos as always! could you try to do a video/ deep dive into the lead content in dark chocolates & cocoa powders, it has really turned me off of of cocoa as of late even though it makes me feel satisfied from a snacking standpoint and has so many other mental+ benefits . Appreciate you brother
I loved this video!!! So educational and had more info than those who say, "just eat protein." Thank you for all the hard work!
Walmarts Tuna is daily go to because I’m constantly on the go. You can eat it by itself out the pack or mix it into other food and keeps me full for longer. Great video
I love these shopping videos it’s so hard to find it and know which ones to get and it’s so nice that you go through all these different stores and help us out it makes a big difference and helps us out so much. Thank you
Can you do a series on diet and muscle building for women in their 50's? Please.
Why stop at 50’s? I’m 73 and work out with a trainer. Trying to find the eating plan that helps me lose fat while keeping
and making more lean muscle is ongoing. Eliminating sugar was a big deal, but not enough. So I’m constantly experimenting. And I continue to add activities at Lifetime Fitness-recently sauna, soon outdoor pool and sun.
Yes please❤
Fage plain greek yogurt is my favorite and I add whatever I want to it. It's got such a great texture.
Thanks for this! I’m on a 1300 calorie diet so, for me, that means intermittent fasting and NO snacking. You don’t realize how many calories you’re consuming until you start plugging it all in to an app!
1,300 calories is super low especially if you are exercising ❤
@@jleeactive I’m trying to lose 25 pounds by June 😬
@@jleeactive its not crazy at all if youre a short woman. My sister is 5'2 and her TDEE is like 1400-1500, so 1200 is only a 2-300 deficit for her
Mander 1n- don't let anyone tell you what you can or can not do when it comes to your health, dreams, and goals. I work out daily, and as a man, I only consume about 1800/1900 calories a day, so for a woman, 1300-1400 doesn't seem so bad depending on your goals and reason to lose weight, obviously, if you are looking to gains then you want to consume more calories to a limit, and if you are strictly focusing on weight loss you should be good. I have lost as of today 23.2 pounds and I feel amazing that was three weeks ago I average about 1.09 lbs lost daily. I was able to run again for the first time in a long time. You know your body, so if you feel a bit off, add 50 calories and continue to add until you feel good. When I told people the calories that I would consume I received comments like "that's too low, or don't rush it or my favorite you will never lose good fat at that amount, only muscle" blah, blah, blah, blah... well my doctor says different. Not only have I put on 5 pounds of muscle but also lost massive amounts of weight and shredding. So I say go for it and like I am doing quiet those nay-sayers. My only advice is to listen to your body, I started at only 1500 calories but realized to get the gain and still shred I would have to raise them and it worked for me, it too will work as long as you listen to your body..... Good luck...
@@Asiam339 I’m honestly going by what the calorie counting app suggested. But overall, I feel fantastic! I’m not losing dramatic weight, which is good in my opinion. Every day is different, depending on how I feel. Thank you for the kind words ❤️ much appreciated! Good luck on your life journey!!
Thanks Thomas for helping to make it easier to understand how to eat well and lose weight. Keep up the great work!
I actually get the isopure unflavored protein at my walmart! I love that stuff cause I’d rather decide what to use to flavor it myself
I’ve been watching you for a couple of years and this is one of the best and useful videos you’ve done for us regular people who shop with a budget in mind. I was So excited to hear you eat a lot of yogurt like me! You seemed relaxed and funny and gave great tips. Thanks!
Happy New Year Thomas !! MUCH LOVE AND THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤️❤️❤️❤️
From Canada here love your knowledge just found about you been making major changes so graetful.Already notice my wellness improving
I wish we had these products in New Zealand!! Love you Thomas
At least you have tons of lamb!
And England 🇬🇧
I love your shopping videos; how did I miss this? I'm also envious about the variety of healthy food options you have in the USA, such a great variety compared to Australia.
Ok this is crazy. I literally just pulled into the Walmart parking lot and your video pops up on my phone 😂
Hahahah guess you’ll be watching this before you go in!
Wow my Walmart is closed due to New years day. I’d love to go use this Knowledge now ❤
😂
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I definitely watched it before I walked in 😄 Learned a ton and was able to get most of the things you suggested! Thank you so much! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
thank you for making this video! I'm on a tight budget and walmart is basically my only affordable option here so it was very helpful for me
Did you buy that mic on wish? TF
Lol
That oikos yogurt is awesome. I buy two tubs at a time because my kids love it, too. I’ve looked at protein bars a lot but it’s hard to find clean ones that aren’t basically a candy bar. I’ve heard the Kirkland brand from Costco are pretty good so I might try those. I’m glad to see that a lot of the foods that you’re showing are foods I buy every week. I also love strawberries and they’re pretty affordable right now. I also wanted to mention low fat cottage cheese. It’s 13g of protein for 80 calories. How’s that for a ratio? And it’s very versatile. I not only eat it with fruit for a snack but you can blend it with a little water, mustard, and seasonings and it makes an awesome salad dressing.
Omg thank you! I love the Oikos Pro what did you think of it!
Thank you for sharing your shopping trip. I live in the Midwest USA and Wal-Mart is a popular place to shop especially for produce on a budget.
Thank you for emphasizing the protein/calorie ratio. I am just starting keto and am only looking at carbs.
Thanks!
I just found your channel and find it very informative since I mainly shop at Walmart. I do wish you would show the name of the product you are analyzing a little longer so I could have time to write it down. Thanks.
Excellent - and VERY informative video. I was greatly motivated to move foreward and feel like I won't be quite so confused with what's best to buy. Do more of these!
I learned so much and You explain so well.Also loving you talk about your wife and kid and make everything more relatible
I absolutely love your videos, just which you showed the product names more clearly. Thank you for your information it is greatly helping me to take ahold of my health.
Great video ….The star struck fan and humility of our guy Thomas was the icing on the cake!!!!!
🍇 Blueberries are a Must-Try : Love the recommendation of blueberries for their low calories and brain-boosting benefits-definitely a smart snack choice!
First time I’ve come across one of your videos. Don’t usually watch videos this long But your content/style held my interest til the end. Great job. (subscribed)
i love these kinds of videos. i took away a few good options from this and im about 4/5 through
I love his common sense approach when choosing which foods are good for your type of diet and budget.
Thank you so much for sharing all you information . Happy new year to you and your family.🎉 any idea new meal plan for high protein?
Thank you for all this info! Many speak about high protein low carb....but how do you address hyp-o-glycemia symptoms (light headed, not feeling strong) for a non-diabetic? I feel like I need my carbs to feel strong. How would you address people like me?
A can of beans has about 25 grams of protein. Sometimes I can find Bush's on sale for around 75 cents per can. Put a can on your dashboard when you go to the gym. When you get out it's plenty warm enough to eat if the spring and summer months.
6:50 - 7:20 replayed six times, still not understand fully. Is it because you should not combine fats with carbohydrates, bacause of storing the fat ?
Thank you for the time and care you put into your content. So helpful and demystifies the science of nutrition. Thank you!!
So helpful! Thank you , please make more of these
I need help buying better groceries lol
