I was introduced to you and your channel through the RUclips channel Sliding Bench Trainer. I really love what I'm learning from your videos. Thank you Kevin.
Just bought 3 bags of oat bran. Made my first bowl and I love the texture! I've had oatmeal daily for the past couple years but this is so much better.
I will give it a try. I have been eating oatmeal for breakfast forever but never considered oat bran cereal. These days I eat 2 dry cups of whole oats from Costco mixed with muscle tech ripped protein powder and fresh Costco blueberries. Lunch is 430 grams of basmati rice with sea salt, butter, and turmeric, a honey crisp apple, a couple slices of bakery whole grain bread, and a Nutrex protein shake. Diner is a large russet baked potato, steamed broccoli and carrots, a mixed green salad with either a fresh orange or grapefruit chopped up and mixed in, a few handfuls of fresh spinach, (totally influenced by watching Popeye as a child), and butter, sea salt, and turmeric for flavor, sodium and fat mixed in with the potato and steamed veggies. I wash it down with another Nutrex protein shake. This is what I eat everyday and I never eat out. I don't have cravings for junk food or sugar. I don't miss meat at all and always regret it when I have some so I avoid it. I feel 20 years younger on this diet. I also like Inno Supps and I use Muscle Tech multi vitamins and fish oil. I don't drink or use any kind of drugs.
Awesome video as well as all the Rest you have made! This channel is gonna grow as long as videos keep coming and I believe you will get over 100 thousand subscribers. No one is on your level, people just don’t realise yet. Quick question man, When do you think is the best time to have a cheat meal? After a workout, or maybe a rest day?
I’ve eaten or put in a shake Oatmeal almost every day for years. Ifor me it’s a blank canvas that I can add tons of different food items too and it fills me up for hours on end. Love the video and love content. Thank you.
Thanks Kevin. Now, i cant leave without making one question as always 😂 When you want to put some mass, do you try to do a little caloric surplus (how much is that?) or you always eat maintenance and do a little deficit when you want to get leaner? i know you dont bulk so i had to ask this. Much love and thank you for your work.
Thanks for watching and I don't believe in ever not wanting to put on some mass. This way of eating is based on always trying to optimize muscle mass while staying lean, and the two are not incompatible if you vary intake (caloric and macronutrients) based on activity levels. Look for a video on this soon and thanks again!!!
Been working out 30 years and still love improving and learning. Your content is fantastic Sir! Thank you for all you do! New subscriber! Bless you. “To whom much is given, much will be required” Luke 12:48 👆🏻🙏🏼
Thanks a lot for your interesting, informative videos, I really do appreciate them ! One question I have is why you seem to be quite critical combining the oat bran with milk ? You mentioned that briefly but didn't explain it then. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching and I don't advocate dairy for adults. The why of it is a whole other video but suffice to say that if you're trying to stay lean while building muscle, it's absolutely not a best choice.
Thanks for watching and while I would never begin to make recommendations for diabetics, the fact is that In human clinical trials, the GI values of oat bran can be as low as 34 to 49. With significant research showing it as an effective choice for the treatment of hyperglycemia. But as i always say, don't take my word for it, do a search for "scholarly articles on oat bran cereal and glycemic index" and see for yourself and of course always discuss any dietary changes with your physician first. Hope that helps.
Kevin, thank you so much!!!! You have seriously changed my life with your principles regarding spirituality, fitness and philosophy. I have been working on improving on some current health issues but when I get well, I'd like to send you a letter expressing my gratitude towards everything I've learned from you. Some upcoming video ideas if you wish: -How nowadays you would go about curating the hundreds of exercises you talk about in your exercise variety video. Resources, websites, forums or perhaps any great books you'd recommend etc. etc. for expanding your movement(s) rolodex. -Despite your 3 sets (1 sets in disguise? :) ), potential recovery times for the smaller, non-major muscle groups such as biceps, calves, forearms etc. etc. ( intermediate > advanced). In the beginning, it would seem that 3-5 days for such muscle groups, and maybe 5-7 days for major muscle groups (chest, quads, glutes, etc.). Should we not so much be worrying about not maximizing recovery potential of smaller muscle groups and wait for the intermediary stage of development (assuming we're beginner, I am approaching my second year of training), where weekly recovery of muscles is more in alignment with what you're teaching (I understand that you teach us to wait one week for quads and one week for medial deltoids, but as a beginner like myself, it'll take less volume and frequency for me to reach relative fatigue)? Not sure if that made any sense. My apologies if it didn't. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. Don't think I can thank you enough.
Thanks for watching and the 6-7 day rest time is what I have seen to be optimal for all levels. Being more experienced or a beginner didn't change recovery requirements so I would strongly recommend that three day split for everyone across the board. As for the video ideas, I will see what I can do with some but one important one is the exercises. There isn't an online resource, it's something my trainers learn over time and it can take 3 months to a year for them to get to a place where they have a firm grasp of the training system. So not really something you can pickup from going online and I think it's important to emphasize that some things are what in Japanese are called kuden. Or oral transmission. Hope that helps and thanks again for tuning in as I really appreciate it.
Cow Dairy keeps many people overweight and inflamed. It also increases appetite especially cheese. Dairy has hormones that messes with our hormones that regulate fat storage and hunger signals. Replace it with more creamy oat bran. Maybe make an oat milk or banana milk : ) I’m going to try corn milk next.
Hey Kevin, how slowly would someone introduce oat bran cereal to their diet if they have a history of stomach sensitivity and gas. Also, would you think adding honey to oat bran cereal is a good option?
Been eating it for years I'll take it to work 50g with 17g of greek style natural yoghurt I mix some cinnamon in (stuff get in jar meant for baking. Get 23g of protein in one go. My job physical so fill me up quick. Wise I could eat a huge amount. I have it for breakfast break and lunch at work. Have meat in evening
Hi Kevin, What about taking a supplement like Psyllium husk in water every day to supplement the Oat Bran for breakfast? For those that might not be able to eat too much oat bran.
Might be worth looking into conventional vs organic. I've read some disturbing stuff regarding how conventional oats are treated with pesticides and how they remain contaminated after processing.
@@naturallyintense picked up some oat bran to try, and ended up loving it! I always struggled to eat oatmeal, for whatever reason it made my stomach "tight" for want of a better description, but the bran is a joy to eat 👍
Hi kevin just thought about this. kevin if i really take care my training n eating but sometimes i dont really feel hungry in the morning ,should i stil eat or just skip them until i feel like eating ? Thanks Kevin
Excellent question, and first aspect to address is what are you eating before bed and how late are you eating? As most times that's what's making you not be hungry in the morning.
@@naturallyintense Kevin sometimes I had to eat late dinner n sleep after like an hour due to long pt and then next day I when wake early I don't feel hungry Until 11am Kevin.
@@Muniswarannn Have a smaller dinner with no carbs as it's not the best time for it and let me know how that works out. 9 out of 10 times it does the trick!
Only if you were eating it regularly before. Never make any major food changes right before a show as it's always a bad idea, but if you have been eating it, then it's absolutely fine from my experience.
I am a firm believer in unprocessed foods across the board and keeping things as simple as possible, so I would recommend it just with water. As there's a huge advantage to getting used to the taste of things without manufactured products in them.
A simple Google search turned up Moon Flake, and the brand doesn't matter as much as long as the ingredient list hars oat bran and nothing else. Hope that helps!!!
@@naturallyintense Thank you so much. I wasn't exactly sure what you meant initially, as Americanisms are often different to Britishisms (zucchini/courgette; yams/sweet potato; egg plant/aubergine; oat meal/oats) ☺️. I did Google, found those, but wasn't 100%, so appreciate you clarifying 🙏🏻
I would not add anything to a shake as it's not something I believe anyone should ever consider consuming. Give this a watch- ruclips.net/video/1a62SHPnXjY/видео.htmlsi=NH8tGp3PPs6cjyNj
I don't do well with oats. I have been tested with a sensitivity. I have tried millett or quinoa with some coconut flour added for more fiber and it doesn't bother me.

Yes to oat bran!!! There are so many things to love about it - taste included! Also - waiting for the sponsorship lol!

Great stuff Kevin...thank you.What abt diabetics...oats spike glucose etc significantly?

👏Oat bran is good for diabetics, it’s the fat in a diet that creates insulin resistance. Go low fat, high fiber with lots of oat bran and water.
You always look good.
Thanks, my friend! Trying hard to keep it that way as the years go by!!!
@naturallyintense You do in fact look good.
You always have!!!!

My heart broke when you said no milk. I thought I was going to be eating bowls of cereal and milk all day and got excited 😭
Cow Dairy keeps many people overweight and inflamed. It also increases appetite especially cheese. Dairy has hormones that messes with our hormones that regulate fat storage and hunger signals. Replace it with more creamy oat bran. Maybe make an oat milk or banana milk : ) I’m going to try corn milk next.
Hey Kevin, how slowly would someone introduce oat bran cereal to their diet if they have a history of stomach sensitivity and gas. Also, would you think adding honey to oat bran cereal is a good option?
Adding honey isn't a good idea and start slowly with half a bowl and see how it goes over time. But don't rush it.
Hey Kevin, do you eat oat bran cereal multiple times a day or only at breakfast. Thank you, much appreciated
Good question and just for breakfast, but quite a lot for breakfast!
@@naturallyintense thank you Kevin
@@naturallyintense started eating oat bran cereal and it is amazing, now it's part of my breakfast everyday.

Hi Kevin,
What about taking a supplement like Psyllium husk in water every day to supplement the Oat Bran for breakfast? For those that might not be able to eat too much oat bran.
The studies thus far on psyllium husks have been positive.
Might be worth looking into conventional vs organic. I've read some disturbing stuff regarding how conventional oats are treated with pesticides and how they remain contaminated after processing.
I eat organic oat bran, although it does come down to a matter of faith, as much of what's called organic isn't automatically better.

Is oat bran ok to consume during peak week or a few days leading up to a bodybuilding competition?
Only if you were eating it regularly before. Never make any major food changes right before a show as it's always a bad idea, but if you have been eating it, then it's absolutely fine from my experience.
@naturallyintense thank you kevin for always replying ! Been having it on the regular and will continue doing so then !

Is it bad to add almond milk?
I am a firm believer in unprocessed foods across the board and keeping things as simple as possible, so I would recommend it just with water. As there's a huge advantage to getting used to the taste of things without manufactured products in them.
@@naturallyintense what if I make my own almond milk using raw almonds?
I would always say keep it simple. Use water instead.
Could you recommend an oat bran cereal brand available in the UK? Not sure exactly what I'm looking for, here. Thanks so much.

Try organic oats. In some countries oats are heavily sprayed with pesticides. Organic is not sprayed.

Wheat bran is alot more fiber and half the cals.
Wheat isn't as well tolerated by many and it's not as high in soluble fiber which seems to be an important aspect of the benefits of oat bran.
Love my oat bran
It's the very best of the best!!!
