@@aashishsharma9106 honestly it’s a constant grind! Usually at least one type of workout routine a day but when I’m really feeling it I like “two a days”
Basically number one rule is make your own meals, or at least go for stuff whose content you can control in some fashion. Sounds like a good rule even for an office worker, tbh. Good content mate
Yeah, good point. Jack LaLanne said his number one rule was "If man made it, don't eat it." That is a rule I follow and it rules out cookies, donuts, bread, crackers, ice cream, coke, candy, etc.
My mother wouldn’t let me eat or drink any of those poor quality “foods” growing up, to the point that when I had the choice a binged out, my body felt like I had stuck my finger in a plug socket. I got so used to healthy food as a child that nothing else appeals to me.
I’ve been getting into cooking all meals from scratch and I feel so much better. Less carbs and a lot less fat in my diet now. My only guilty pleasures are coffee (for the taste more than anything else), the occasional beer or glass of wine and some strawberry jam (low sugard) on a slice of bread when I need a treat. Great video!
Sure you can, but you'll be even healthier if you don't eat it at all. If you really love sugary/processed foods then have them occasionally. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you're not really passionate about them then you're better to completely avoid them. There's plenty of health adjusted meals that are 80% as good as the original.
Don't know man, I mean when I was young and beautiful I use to eat whatever I wanted, granted, I trained like 3 hours per day and I was 23 years old... Never mind, listen to this guy, now at 30 a sedentary job and 1 hour per day of workout I'm really struggling with my weight lol
@@avacyn9946 Genes play a major role too. I work out only 15 minutes a day and i stay very lean but thats also due to me not having to eat more then twice a day.
I stumbled upon this video while nursing a sugar hangover and I'm glad I did. The information isn't new to me, but sometimes you just need a kick in the pants to change your habits....again. Thanks dude!
One mistake people make is thinking 'if its natural, it's good" not at all true considering that you cannot eat the actual plant of a tomato or a potato for instance, they are simply poison. Many other foods we make edible are processed such as Cashews which are poisonous without being processed. Raw Kidney beans will make you sick and a rule of thumb for beans is to soak over night before cooking. Potatoes raw are very hard on your digestive system do to the amount of starch, cooking helps break down the starch which allows your body to more easily digest. In short, know what you are consuming and go from there. My Gpa was still walking the golf course at 89 when he finally kicked off. His rule was "everything in moderation" I think that is what our biggest take away for us commoners. In the off chance Mr Garga reads my post, I would suggest "The Story of the Human Anatomy" by Evolutionary Biologist Daniel Lieberman.
Honey Crisp apples are the best!! Love the perspective on caffeinated drinks, treating them like PEDs! That's discipline and why you're a world champion. Curious about the other fighters/coaches here and their view of dairy/bread/tortillas. I tell my guys they're no go in camp; even my heavies and super-heavies. It is a pet peeve to see someone show up on fight night with a soft body.
Unless you have your own garden 😉 I’m trying to get better at making a full fruit and vegetable diet right from my property. That’s got to be the best.
Nice video! It appears that apart from coffee i pretty much follow this regime already. Consider myself really lucky that my parents brought me up on the same principles and its relatively easy to keep it up for me now
60% of sucrose (fruit sugar) is converted to fat. 100% of glucose (vegetable sugar) is metabolized for energy. Juice any veggies you want and add a quarter of a green apple and it'll taste great! 🥊
good stuff a day of training after eating bad feels like im hungover and sluggish. when im on point with nutrition i can run forever it feels like. i dont think people realize the importance of nutrition when it comes to high function. they think too much of calories in calories out, not quality.
Gabriel... I've been eating the same foods for over 45 years . organic fruits , vegetables , sardines, wild salmon, nuts & seeds...distilled water.... I juice 1 litre a day.... intermittent fasting.... cold showers daily... Wim hof breathing.... yoga boxing karate & Bjj....I'm soon to be 64 I train 5 days a week hard.... MEDITATION !!!!!!! the body will take care of you if you take care of it......over 50 years of training a couple of little injuries.....LONGEVITY WAS ALWAYS # 1 FOR ME.....I love your videos brother... all the best !!!
We have similar diets. I make my own bread, and my local store has unpasteurized freshly squeezed juices if I do fancy that. What I do is substitute everything I crave with something healthier. If I want ice-cream I have triple cream yogurt with fresh fruit, crush nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg. If I want to snack on chips, I'll have some pistachios, or walnuts instead. If I want "junk-food" such as a cheese-burger I make it myself rather than going to McDonalds for mystery GMO DNA altering substances that they call "food."
*PEOPLE, LISTEN!* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Blend your guacamole, it's so much better. Avocado Serranos Tomatoes Onion Garlic Lime juice Salt and pepper Blender!
green tea helps clean out the metabolites from your brain, which increases your ability to focus (or be present) during combat (or sparing). i use it while gaming FPS as well. it is a crutch ... but its still shocking how effective it is
I wish you were coaching in my area... I would have loved to have you as a coach... If you are coaching, your students are one of the must lucky martial art students on earth... 😊👏👏👏👏👏
Im so glad I found your channel. my video has been used watching everything about you. You said in your other video with crazy stories that's important sometimes to stand your ground and say no. that really stuck with me. I love martial arts and you seem like a good role model to watch, and you have a very broad spectrum of videos. I really appreciate it. Take care of your self its a brutal sport, i see a good person in your eyes. you have crispy technique, fight IQ, dynamic evasive, and nice offensive too. looking forward to watch everything and your videos to come.
And Gabriel, make sure you clean your apples very well if you eat them with peal on like i saw in the video. Or get them bio apples without to many pesticides and protection wax on it sometimes. Can't wait to see your next fight.
Funny enough I've been rediving into the Iliad. In book five they talk about the diet of the Gods that changed their blood into Ichor. They wouldn't eat bread/grains or sparkling wines (some translations just say wine, but carbonation was part of the greek text). This came up when Aphrodite was wounded by the mortal Diomed. Also, interesting in book 1 of the Iliad whenever there was a "offering to the gods" the people also ate the food including bone marrow like a big BBQ in honor of the Gods they were trying to please. Thigh bone of bull or goat wrapped in fat with meat on top was burned on an alter. Each participant would eat a portion of marrow and then they would sit and eat the feast together. I'm a big nerd when it comes to ancient diets. The greek soldier also was on a ration of onions, garlic, and goat cheese. If you can imagine how these guys must have smelled (my wife has banned me from doing the diet again)! The active chemical acilin in both garlic and onion have interesting ramifications for human health as well as goat cheese being easier on those with lactose intolerance while having higher calcium density than cow milk/cheese. Acilin has some interesting modern studies where it's found to work directly on relaxation of smooth muscles. Not sure if those benefits are found in the fresh consuming of garlic/onion, but certainly the greeks had value in these as adequate rations for soldiers.
Apparently caffeine can actually help break down fats in the blood stream and is healthy in low quantities. I wouldnt recommend you try it though because what you do now is definitely a winning formula!
Careful Varga... you might get RUclips censoring your videos because you are spreading good common sense on what is healthy to eat and not healthy to eat... their investors do not like videos like this and they will speak out!!! hahaha. Great tips and thank you for sharing this.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Haha!! No!!! I was kidding man... it was a joke to do with how RUclips censors everything good and is like promoting everything unhealthy like regular cable TV does since it is now almost controlled like cable TV is. Your video was perfect... my comment was just a left field joke.
@@mmareviewer.2372 Whew. Good! I been told by some social media people that you do have to be careful what you say and who you target. Want to keep the channel growing
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Yes of course!! they say that to you because your like a VIP with a good growing channel, and also people can look you up as easily as they look up their favourite singers because you got a legacy as a good fighter recognized by name, and obviously also make you probably sign contracts where you can or can't endorse certain things. Yea it sucks how you do got to be careful, but it means you are very successful. You even are a brand within yourself with so much potential to promote a brand and make it if you wanted to... including making your own brands like you are with this channel. Again man keep flowing out these wonderful fight guru advice videos sharing your experiences.
Thank you. I also avoid these foods except tea and only one cup of coffee in the morning; but will omit this now. I drink alot of water and one bottle of electrolyte zero sugar when training. Just getting back to training after several years away. My son and I enjoy your videos, wow! You are so humble ! We are learning heaps. Best wishes Gabriel!
Frozen fruit and especially veggies are the closest thing you can get to fresh nutritionally. They retain 90+ percent of their nutrient profile compared to other preservation methods and they usually don't have additional ingredients. They're great if you like a certain food but it's out of season.
Supermarkets are really not the place to buy food - cleaning products yes but food not really… Good rules for kids too as so many are given juice which destroys their teeth and adds sugar for no nutrition benefit. Thanks enjoying your videos very much.
Coffee is so awesome and I limit my intake by making spirulina and berry smoothies in the morning. The boost in energy you get from the B vitamins in spirulina is gamechanging .
Good video, depends on your burn and your digestion and when I was younger and still now,I'm 34 years old, I'm in great shape and I used to put on muscle very quick. On big point as well is the natural testosterone in your body. Plus I can only disagree with raw pure frozen vegetables, they aren't to bad at all. Anything else is very good information. Plus, a piece of chocolate or a bit of sugar, but between half and one hr BEFORE training. Then the sugar will even benefit your training pase and endurance. Cheers guys, keep up the training!
There is absolutely something wrong in its pure form used in the same quantities as salt. To me like comparing mild tea made with poppies to heroin. Dose makes the poison.
Just dawned on me that you don’t have cordial/squash in North America when you were talking about the drinks aisle. One of the most standard soft drinks going when you’re in England
world class athlete need make video more abt these foods what make world class athlete perform the highest level...... reduce inflamation awesome video
I also don’t consume, coffee, tea, juice, and pop. I don’t eat candy nor chips. I eat lots of dark chocolate, typically 70 cacao and above. I do eat ice cream though. Finally, I do what I can to eat healthy quality bread with fewer ingredients, as you said.
to be honest depending on the brand and I guess country (food and safety regulations vary) some frozen foods (frozen pizza's, microwave foods etc) can be fine. I live in Denmark and there are some frozen microwave foods that are literally just a normal meal but frozen and packaged.. Also frozen vegetables are often higher in nutrition than fresh vegetables
The foods you mentioned to avoid happen to be the most available unfortunately. I hope people start realizing what they actually eat and avoid these. At 5:05 pasteurization --> not at high temperatures, but actually below 100degrC. You are correct that in this process nutritional value will be sacrifized, but only to the bare minimum.
Gabe doesn't drink alcohol, eat processed foods, drink coffee or sweets. Doesn't smoke or do drugs. What vices does the man have? I feel like a loser now.
His vice is kicking peoples ass.... And he has extreme dedication to it. If you don't have extreme dedication to a purpose in life then, sorry to say but... you probably should feel like a loser...
Gabriel! Very very on point with one exception. The data on coffee’s benefits is much much much more robust than that nonsense about wine. I recommend Aaron Caroll’s articles and work on it. Can be found at healthcare triage YT channel or the NYT upshot column. I don’t think the benefits are so amazing that you should start drinking coffee now or anything but it’s not comparable to the red wine story. I believe that that was the news media getting overexcited about a single study. Coffee has a lot more research than that
Please don't listen to this. If you enjoy coffee stop trying to promote it through bs articles/studies funded by we dont know who. Lots of people are sensitive to caffeine and it triggers a lot of bad symptoms in them and make them way worse than they are. A friend of mine have have anxiety attacks everytime he drinks coffee. Drink whatever you want but keep your advice to yourself.
The two ingredients I always look out for [for purposes of avoiding]; are sugar & palm oil - which means I have to proper invest the time in making my own bread, pizzas, etc.
I will definitely make that video for everyone. Right now my house is a construction zone. Once everything is done I'll have a lovely space to film and share videos about my diet/recipes.
Good video.It might be good to use your clout and do some collaboration videos with someone like The Bioneer to boost your channel views.I work at a grocery store and it's criminal what they sell people as food,people are looking like garbage from constantly eating that stuff.Much respect for your dedication and training ethic.
Yeah I'm pretty much the same. If you are reading this and feeling like this is hard advice, maybe a bit overweight etc., just honestly fill your kitchen with healthy foods you like to substitute out bad foods. Even if youre still overweight for a while as a result of still smashing too much food, youll be way more healthy and wont have cravings or self-denial to deal with. Just throw the bad stuff out and dont buy it again.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial yeah, it's in holland. Kind of took it for granted because it's so normal here, but I guess it's good to live here. Except for the weather. It is really awful.
I'm a fairly lean and cut 20 year old and I have a fast metabolism, I'd be in even better shape and insanely fit if I dieted properly but I just love my food, especially the bad ones
I also never go to the meat isles. Cuz it really affects your health. I prefer buying quinoa, lentils, beans, things like that. Well from time to time I'd eat meat maybe once a week. I'd still eat eggs or fish tho.
As an Up and coming Champion. I agree. I do not eat fake food. If I do not see value in it. Nope. Natural is key and listening to my body is key. I do not do frozen foods that takes the nutritions out of it. Fresh Fresh Fresh. Clean. Crush other Fighters. Cheers. Look down and see your who ha. ~King Michael
I think we would have been great friends as i hear you talk and express my views/habits to the t. You are a great athlete and excellent speaker/role model. Wish you all the best 👍
Since the first lock down I've got into bad habits with foods am trying to adjust my eating ,I hate fizzy drinks crisps certian cakes ,I used to HV cake every day and chochalate I've got it down to hvn treats of a cake or chochalste wkends ,I eat organic bread I still Nd to cut down on that,I like salad fruit veg fish turkey ,chicken not much meat sm meats ,I dnt HV carton juice ,I still Nd to adjust things am trying, yes sugars are very bad cause inflammation inthe body,i drink herbal drinks water and tea ,only HV a half cup of black coffe to open my air ways as I suffer with a bit of Asthma ,I at times make home made smothies,I agree we should all eat well and drink proper fluids ,u are sensible
I like your mentality- you get to what counts throw out the rest 🕵🏾♂️! That’s the biggest battle for people- not to treat themselves with a little poison 😅- God help us 🙏🏽!!
I'm good for all of this except for coffee. Been drinking it daily since before I turned 10. If I stop now I might literally die dude. Also there are some health benefits to coffee but probably has its downsides as well, especially at the strength/volume I drink it.
ayy frozen vegetables are even better as fresh ones.The fresh vegetables need to be transported, so they lose some minerals and vitamins in the process. The frozen Ones are cooled down instantly, they keep most of the good
@@GabrielVargaOfficial not sure this ever got made but I would definitely watch it. I have a smoothie as my post workout and it's long been my favourite meal of the day.

Not saying that this is all good but some people could definitely benefit from that kind of life style.
I’ve been getting into cooking all meals from scratch and I feel so much better. Less carbs and a lot less fat in my diet now.

For me cofee isn't some type of boost, I got my cold shower for that, I just like the taste. Great video btw!
You can live a long healthy life in a lean muscular body while still enjoying all these food in moderation. I still admire your resolve.
Sure you can, but you'll be even healthier if you don't eat it at all. If you really love sugary/processed foods then have them occasionally. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you're not really passionate about them then you're better to completely avoid them. There's plenty of health adjusted meals that are 80% as good as the original.
I find avoiding these foods is much better for my energy levels throught out the day, plus stomach reactivity and inflammation.
0 will turn to 1 and 1 will become 100, the only way to stop 0 from turning to 1 is to turn 0 back to nothing.
Much better to completely avoid tho
Yea but you dont need it

There is absolutely something wrong in its pure form used in the same quantities as salt. To me like comparing mild tea made with poppies to heroin. Dose makes the poison.
Well it has sodium so that's something to be careful with if you are watching your sodium
i try to have all vices at the same time but in moderation. this way, they block each other from dominating my life
Love the channel, big fan. Thoughts on martial arts training and weight lifting?
Just dawned on me that you don’t have cordial/squash in North America when you were talking about the drinks aisle. One of the most standard soft drinks going when you’re in England
world class athlete need make video more abt these foods
what make world class athlete perform the highest level...... reduce inflamation
awesome video
I also don’t consume, coffee, tea, juice, and pop. I don’t eat candy nor chips. I eat lots of dark chocolate, typically 70 cacao and above. I do eat ice cream though. Finally, I do what I can to eat healthy quality bread with fewer ingredients, as you said.
But are these health shops and local grocers not a lot more expensive? They are where I live.
And that’s the reality of a healthy diet in the U.S. - it’s definitely more expensive than eating in moderation.
I've swapped tons of stuff with fruits, I could never turn my back on coffee however.
Wow that’s so awesome you don’t drink coffee. I’m trying to quit. Currently on day 3 caffeine free
to be honest depending on the brand and I guess country (food and safety regulations vary) some frozen foods (frozen pizza's, microwave foods etc) can be fine. I live in Denmark and there are some frozen microwave foods that are literally just a normal meal but frozen and packaged.. Also frozen vegetables are often higher in nutrition than fresh vegetables
The foods you mentioned to avoid happen to be the most available unfortunately. I hope people start realizing what they actually eat and avoid these. At 5:05 pasteurization --> not at high temperatures, but actually below 100degrC. You are correct that in this process nutritional value will be sacrifized, but only to the bare minimum.
Gabe doesn't drink alcohol, eat processed foods, drink coffee or sweets. Doesn't smoke or do drugs. What vices does the man have? I feel like a loser now.
He's human. Big enough of a vice. He's like us all. It's the will
His vice is kicking peoples ass.... And he has extreme dedication to it.
If you don't have extreme dedication to a purpose in life then, sorry to say but... you probably should feel like a loser...
@@The_Void_Staring_Back ummm
He likes to kick people
So what do you drink other than untouched water from Antarctica?
Gabriel! Very very on point with one exception. The data on coffee’s benefits is much much much more robust than that nonsense about wine. I recommend Aaron Caroll’s articles and work on it. Can be found at healthcare triage YT channel or the NYT upshot column. I don’t think the benefits are so amazing that you should start drinking coffee now or anything but it’s not comparable to the red wine story. I believe that that was the news media getting overexcited about a single study. Coffee has a lot more research than that
Thanks for the information.
It's cool learning more about diet and different benefits/negatives of all the things we put in our body.
Glad to see someone else say it. There absolutely are benefits to moderate/mild coffee consumption.
Please don't listen to this. If you enjoy coffee stop trying to promote it through bs articles/studies funded by we dont know who. Lots of people are sensitive to caffeine and it triggers a lot of bad symptoms in them and make them way worse than they are. A friend of mine have have anxiety attacks everytime he drinks coffee. Drink whatever you want but keep your advice to yourself.
Glad he talked about fruit juice. That stuff is super toxic
The two ingredients I always look out for [for purposes of avoiding]; are sugar & palm oil - which means I have to proper invest the time in making my own bread, pizzas, etc.
Home made pizza is so good. Smart because takeout pizza is not so good for you.
Waaasaaap Gabriel. Nice video. I would like to know how your diet looks like. What foods you eat and how you prepare them.
I will definitely make that video for everyone.
Right now my house is a construction zone. Once everything is done I'll have a lovely space to film and share videos about my diet/recipes.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Awesome. Thanks for replying. Keep up the good work buddy.
Good video.It might be good to use your clout and do some collaboration videos with someone like The Bioneer to boost your channel views.I work at a grocery store and it's criminal what they sell people as food,people are looking like garbage from constantly eating that stuff.Much respect for your dedication and training ethic.
Thanks Joey. Yes, I need to get going on the collaborations.
dang no tea. i love drinking green tea or any kind of tea in the morning or afternoon.
so don't go to supermarkets, buy from specialized local shops, got it. Makes your body and your community more healthy
Yeah I'm pretty much the same. If you are reading this and feeling like this is hard advice, maybe a bit overweight etc., just honestly fill your kitchen with healthy foods you like to substitute out bad foods. Even if youre still overweight for a while as a result of still smashing too much food, youll be way more healthy and wont have cravings or self-denial to deal with. Just throw the bad stuff out and dont buy it again.
Oh, they sell fresh juice here in the grocery stores. Non pasturized but also short shelf life.
Awesome. You must have access to a pretty good grocery store. You average one definitely doesn't sell no pasteurized.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial yeah, it's in holland. Kind of took it for granted because it's so normal here, but I guess it's good to live here. Except for the weather. It is really awful.
I think this the first time I've seen an adult that doesn't drink coffee.
Excellent positive input.
I'm a fairly lean and cut 20 year old and I have a fast metabolism, I'd be in even better shape and insanely fit if I dieted properly but I just love my food, especially the bad ones
I also never go to the meat isles. Cuz it really affects your health. I prefer buying quinoa, lentils, beans, things like that. Well from time to time I'd eat meat maybe once a week. I'd still eat eggs or fish tho.
I'm somewhat similar. I prefer eggs and fish. Meat isn't super important to me although I do eat it a couple times a week.
Lentils are great.
Plant based protein is very underrated. It's great to know that you both don't eat much animal flesh 🙂
As an Up and coming Champion. I agree. I do not eat fake food. If I do not see value in it. Nope. Natural is key and listening to my body is key. I do not do frozen foods that takes the nutritions out of it.
Fresh Fresh Fresh. Clean.
Crush other Fighters.
Cheers.
Look down and see your who ha.

It's a surprise that he doesn't mention alcohol
I think we would have been great friends as i hear you talk and express my views/habits to the t. You are a great athlete and excellent speaker/role model. Wish you all the best 👍
Very clever way of thinking.
I’ve been recently called “hey big man”! 😂🥊🥋
Did he ever made a clip showing a weekly menu or something similar about what he eats? I can't find it.
Gabriel looks like rhe T 1000 in Terminator 2
Since the first lock down I've got into bad habits with foods am trying to adjust my eating ,I hate fizzy drinks crisps certian cakes ,I used to HV cake every day and chochalate I've got it down to hvn treats of a cake or chochalste wkends ,I eat organic bread I still Nd to cut down on that,I like salad fruit veg fish turkey ,chicken not much meat sm meats ,I dnt HV carton juice ,I still Nd to adjust things am trying, yes sugars are very bad cause inflammation inthe body,i drink herbal drinks water and tea ,only HV a half cup of black coffe to open my air ways as I suffer with a bit of Asthma ,I at times make home made smothies,I agree we should all eat well and drink proper fluids ,u are sensible
I like your mentality- you get to what counts throw out the rest 🕵🏾♂️! That’s the biggest battle for people- not to treat themselves with a little poison 😅- God help us 🙏🏽!!
Should check out food combing by Herbert Shelton. Anytime you get gas, hickups or any stomach upset it's generally from improper digestion.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I will look into that soon.
thanks for the info daddy varga
Are you ten years old or what?
Hey will you be doing that video of you're full day diet
Sugar will not increase body fat, what are you talking about?
I read frozen brocolli florets have more nutrients than cut, picked, and shipped "fresh" brocolli
Probably. Some of the "fresh" veggies we get in stores are from different countries.
I try to buy local produce if possible.
Thank you for the video master
Listen to him. I'm still eating all that stuff and guess what - I got somewhat fat.
I'm good for all of this except for coffee. Been drinking it daily since before I turned 10. If I stop now I might literally die dude. Also there are some health benefits to coffee but probably has its downsides as well, especially at the strength/volume I drink it.
Don't worry mate, Mo Farah drinks a lot of coffee and he''s got 4 Olympic gold medals in distance running.
ayy frozen vegetables are even better as fresh ones.The fresh vegetables need to be transported, so they lose some minerals and vitamins in the process. The frozen Ones are cooled down instantly, they keep most of the good
Well said, bro.
If you're going to do ice cream, I recommend making your own. It's way better... Ditto for juice.
Smoothies are better though.
Oh boy. I've got to share my go to smoothie recipe. I've been making it for over a decade and I'm still loving it.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial please do share! :)
@@GabrielVargaOfficial not sure this ever got made but I would definitely watch it. I have a smoothie as my post workout and it's long been my favourite meal of the day.
@@AusPole Not yet. I've been waiting for my kitchen to get built. It's taking longer than I thought but it's almost there.
What do you eat as a snack if you’re hungry apart from fruit
Nuts
You ever consider beefing up? Ya know some size on? With a strict diet you could get huge
That pullover looks real snazzy man.
Haha. It's great for staying comfy while filming.
This guy’s all right…. I like him!
Great content, Champ
Thankyou
Is there any soda or soda-like that is acceptable to drink semi regularly?
I like finding sweet Kombucha's. They have the sparkle and are much healthier.
@@GabrielVargaOfficial Thanks Gabriel. Kombucha is actually really nice come to think of it and it has well known health benefits.
