One of the biggest reasons people eat a junk food diet rather than a healthy diet is because they don't know how to cook. Learning to cook will automatically make your diet better because there's no need for instant food anymore.
@@hannahumana1906 on top of that, it’s easier to go through a drive thru and have food in 2 minutes vs cooking a balanced meal that can take a lot of preparation and time to cook. Not to mention the fact that a combo at McDonald’s is about $7 vs going to the grocery store and spending $20-30+ on everything you’d need for a good meal (at least that’s how it is in America)
@@crooksteezy6231 what ingredients costs you $20-30 for a single meal? I can eat 4 meals, 3.5K calories for less than $7 per day buying groceries with minimal preparation.
Can we see a budget breakdown of how much money Thomas spent vs how much money Ammar spent on their food. I think it would be super interesting to see.
Fast food is more affordable and more accessible, that's why it's popular especially to those who are in a budget. Organic foods are more pricey than non organic veggies.
The worst part is when your family treats you like a monster for wanting to eat healthier.. so you give or are treated poorly.. this has reaffirmed my beliefs in making myself better and healthier and to feel okay with it, thank you.
Personally I'd have a word or 2 with my family if they were treating me poorly for any reason...Let alone just doing something to BETTER myself😑.Even if they're not wanting to live that way themselves,they should be offering you encouragement...Not trying to leave you feeling torn down.I don't know what type of people you deal with but in my case I have a narcissist for a parent & he always couldn't stand 👀 my mom and I do good things to better ourselves,it always set off his insecurities🙄.Regardless keep doing what helps you live a good healthy life & just ignore anyone that can't be happy for you and show you encouragement and support🙂👍🏻.
They probably treat you like an outsider because of how elitist you are and claiming to be the better person because of your diet. It's the same I feel with these people.
@@Dazumumine do the same thing but it's because they can't imagine that the diet they eat is genuinely harmful for themselves. whenever I visit family these days, I usually feel pretty bad after a few days of eating like crap
Bro I know this is very late but this comment was too personal for me not to reply. Its like when I was fat sack of potatoes I literally got fatshamed and criticised but the moment I started a strict diet, my biggest obstacle was my own family continuously pestering me to break my diet and all
fun fact, in my country eating fast food are still considered "cool" by majority of the people, mom often bring their kids to fast food places to celebrate their kids achievements for example, it emits prestige vibes if you eat there, because it's modern, western, and for a price of a set of big mac you can literally have enough to buy 3 days worth of fresh from the farm ingredients.
Have a shelf with 2 fancy cookbooks and stacks of printed recipes none of which have ever been used for good measure 😏 I need to get around to actually learning to cook from recipes oof my style of cooking so far is just put a bunch of random vegetables together and cook them and if it turns out bad give it to the chickens
Bottles of whole spices look so fancy: peppercorns, star anise seeds, cardamom pods. Plus buy the carrots with green tops attached and just lay a couple on the counter as if your going to use them soon. Sprinkle rock salt with your fingers in a fancy flourish and slap a fresh slice of lemon or lime on every plate, and voila, you're a gourmet.
I'm a really bad binge eater, but after watching not even 10 minutes of the video, seeing how it's affecting Thomas and how much energy Ammar has.. it makes me want to take that leap to just start eating healthy. It's gonna be hard but.. shit. I think I might do it.
@Templex do it gradually! Try for at least one piece of fruit a day and bump it up over time. Hide veggies in chili, and make smoothies, things like that. I had to crash healthy eating because my health was getting worse, and some days I was just starving, but I lost five pounds in a few weeks. It's worth it, you'll feel better and look better in just a few months. And I felt amazing when I got the recommended 8 glasses of water a day! Try again!
Other youtubers have done this before, for example i think i've seen a video from both Stephanie Buttermore and erikthelectric or one of them and conclusion was that your body maintains very delicate balance SO WELL that a day, a week or even multiple months of eating bad doesn't necessarily alter anything in your body and if it does, it does it at such a tiny fraction which very soon before you know it is back to normal levels.
Doesn't matter as much, I mean one week isn't suddenly gonna reverse everything, Ammar's bloodproteins that is bind to sugar (HBA1) is still higher than someone's HBA1 who eats healthy. however it's a start.
I have honestly only been eating from doordash/fastfood for a solid 6 months now. I magically lost 12 pounds (but i think it because i fast and eat once a day every day) but my health has completely gone to hell. Mentally honestly for the most part but a lot of physical too. I have never been so depressed in my life without any actual reason it is overwhelming. Nothing sounds doable or enjoyable anymore but sitting on youtube and even that i hate. Starting on the 4th i have a whole entire new meal plan and diet with healthy foods im wondering how quickly it will take to build myself back to good health. maybe i will make a video.
@@thetahexhodlhands4550 same happened to me. Went from having an extremely healthy diet to eating fastfood everyday for the last 6 years. It made pretty much every aspect of my life much worse lol
I'm so glad that I got over the unhealthy food. Since I started eating healthy, my anxiety has improved enormously like I can't even remember when was the last time I had anxiety attack. Now I believe that a lot of sickness come from poor nutrition.
Me too but sugar is so addicting that I am not able mentally to change long term, after one or two week it gets unhealthy again… even if u know how bad it is and how bad u feel physically and mentally. End of august I have my first appointment for help 🤩
I'm a college student who is also into body building so I try to eat healthy everyday. The thing is, it's so damn expensive! Imagine if they made fast food more expensive and healthy foods less expensive. I wonder if more people would make the switch or if it would stay the same since people are addicted to junk food
Hi! I’m curious to know how much you spend? I’m Italian and live in Italy and would love to compare expenses (given that we also have lower income though)
Ammar is like a child learning how to eat for the first time... it warms my heart seeing him learn how to do better for himself 🥰.... Thomas I'm sorry you put yourself thru such American diet, we appreciate your sacrifice. ❤️
Isn't it surprising how majority of people know that fast food is making us perform worse IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE, and yet it is still the most popular type of food people eat? Videos like this are very helpful, I hope some people change their minds and decide to live healthier.
It’s sadly not just the What bur also the How. People who don’t have a healthy diet, mostly just straight up don’t know healthy foods. The know of vegetables and fruits but not how to make them a meal.
They are doing this since a lot of time, they are pretty positive and positivity attracts positive people as well : ) it helps when you have a big team which works together.
Thank you mom for all the years you cooked home meals you cooked for me growing up, definitely woulda been a different person eating fast good everyday
Never? What about smoking? Or alcohol? And if cutting those out entirely isn’t bad, what’s so special about sugar? You can eat sugar if you want to, and obviously moderation is better than indulgence. But you do not *need* sugar, and sometimes complete abstinence is easier than moderation. It is a matter of choice and what works for the individual.
As someone who has had a binge and restrictive eating disorder I have learned that life is about balance. I want to eat nutritiously to fuel my body as an athlete but I'm not going to completely give up foods that I love
Yep, this video is just uneducated folks parroting misinformation derived from diet/fitness culture and trending fad diets. It's quite an ignorant video.
I'm 3 weeks into a drastic change of diet. I went from consuming 3000 calories or more everyday full of fatty dishes, fast food, sugar desserts, alcohol almost every night and with no exercise at all. To now consuming only a maximum of 1,500 calories a day, full of vegetables, protein, white rice, black coffee and working out. It's the best feeling I've felt in a while. I can sleep well, I no longer feel drowsy during the day, I got rid of my acid reflux and so far everything is good. I hope I can be consistent on this change of lifestyle :)
I changed my diet to working out and eating more healthy, but also learning to actually cook rather than simple meals.. got acid reflex and kind of stopped after awhile. I was just trying to gain weight to donate blood, still haven't achieved that goal. I got tired of eating so much. Trying to consume what's in my fridge (still good stuff like frozen fruit, fish, greens, veggies) before I start a new journey of trying again using rainbow food method each day rather than calorie counting. But with my high metabolism, I wonder if trying by eating fast food would be helpful.... I've also always been good about not drinking soda cause I stopped as a teen when my parents gave me that as an option at restaurants.
As someone who studied nutrition all through undergrad and is now getting a DPT, I think this is an extremely important topic! Metabolic disease is SO PREVALENT in the United States and throughout the world! Everyone needs to take a long thoughtful look at their dietary and health habits!
@@bq1595 caloric deficit is only needed in the sense of losing weight, but just eating shitty food in a caloric deficit is not going to make to feel good because 1. there is no nutritional and 2. you will be eating way less volume than if you were eating “healthier” foods
As someone with a sugar addiction and has been fighting it for years; thank you for keeping me on the right path and introducing me to some new recipe ideas! Am definitely going to try the stuffed pepper recipe in the future!
The mindset /being thankful for your food has more impact than ppl give credit. Making food for my family I always add love. I feel it is the most important ingredient!
@@memem7913 I would say that the version we see of Keith on the Try Guys videos is more of a play up towards his “character” to keep audiences engaged in their videos
Definitely different from what I experience when I gave up processed sugars, preservatives, alcohol and grain. The first week wasn’t pleasant at all. I had headaches and was really irritable although I did sleep really well. At the end of the week I started my workout routine back up and was shocked about how well I did. The amount of weight I was lifting, and the distance I ran took me by surprise. I feel better now and only drink, and eat junk food on very special occasions.
I have a really bad binge disorder. I will usually drink a coffee in the morning, I only have lunch half the time but when I come home I’ll binge on over 4000 calories, sometimes even more. I’m always tired and have high cholesterol (in 17 but it’s genetic) meaning what I eat puts me at risk for heart issues. Recently I’ve started seeing a food therapist who’s helped me make changes toward a healthier life. I still really struggle, especially when I “relapse” but I think I’m getting better. This video is a great representation of not only what food can do to your body, but also how it controls you mind.
I know this is an old comment, but just wanted to say that I’ve had the same experience! I struggled most of my life with binge eating and a generally unhealthy relationship with food, but working with a weight neutral nutrition counselor was so helpful for me. I definitely learned to prioritize having full meals for breakfast and lunch, but also to work through my internal stigma around binge foods. Once I started eating consistently, and not restricting any types of food, I binged less, and my body started to crave more veggies/fruit/etc. I hope you’ve had a helpful experience as well! I recommend reading about intuitive eating, if you haven’t. I like this video, but some of the shaming around fast/processed video isn’t really helpful for people specifically with disordered eating.
When you say “our” which country are you referring too? I’m from England and for the most part I agree with your comment, wouldn’t go as far to say a USA kids is equal a adult meal but our medium is probably equivalent to their small meal
@@Nick-gh8hf I don't know where you lived in Europe but he's not lying. I lived in France my whole life and was so shocked when I went to the US. I take the biggest sized meals in my country but in the states I was only able to eat the smallest options.
So glad I watched this. I was so fit last year. October I moved out and then because of the pandemic my workplace wasn't working anymore (security for events). But then I also got sick due to iron deficiency and then in January I had kind of hard Covid. I was unable to work, despite not having found work anyway. So what I lived of was only the money my parents sent me each week and due to new expenses while living alone, that wasn't enough. I bounced into unhealthy eating, went into a depressive phase again, was lacking motivation to cook longer than 30 mins in the kitchen bcs my roommate doesn't clean after himself (the kitchen was always so messy again even tho I always left it clean.). So, I gained weight and lost muscles because I also stopped working out because of my health and that depression. Now that I have a different workplace (actually as a PCR tester lmao) since 2 months I finally get a salary again and events also have started so I'll be able to work at my other job as well. And I am so motivated to definitely spend a penny more on healthy foods. And yes, I learned processed foods that count as unhealthy are indeed less pricy. Especially because my favourite greens are from Asia and lesser known, they are more expensive to get here. I will start my journey again, this motivated me to bounce back to where my fitness was exactly a year ago!
you are what you consume, not only the food, but also thoughts, entertaining, the time we spend with people. ALL that makes up who we are. Stay healthy and concsious fellow humans
When my husband was younger, some times he would drink a 2-liter soda in A DAY! He was diagnosed with high blood pressure in his 30s. Fast forward to age 63. Some form of fasting and eating low carb for the last 3 years he is able to greatly reduce the days he takes his one blood pressure pill. It’s really amazing how the body can heal when you give it a chance! His goal is to get off the med for good.
@@madmaximum875 if you still drink beer every day look into finding the diet beers that are low in carbs/calories but still contain alcohol. Wont taste as good but once you find one you like enough it'll scratch the itch.
I recently thought about how I could get better sleep to get through the day better. Now I'm realizing my diet is probably a huge reason this is an issue. Thanks for the upload
Wow man this has really inspired me to eat more healthier I am doing all my best to do so, and I try to overcome peer pressure to become a healthier person myself! Thanks for inspiring others into becoming healthier!!
Wish they would’ve had the doctor take some measurements first, like cholesterol, tryicerides, glucose levels, hormones, etc., then again after seven days. Would love to see the results.
One week won’t make too much of a difference for conclusive evidence except maybe measurements and weight - fasting glucose may be an interesting one to see. But as far as cholesterol goes, there would need to be a little more than 7 days time.
I just found your channel! Wow. What a wonderfully amazing job on this video. In fact all of your videos look so well done. Love the vibe. And yes, you are what you eat!
Portion size matters too. Anyone would feel completely sick and drained after eating the size of fast food meals he ate in the video. If I get fast food I rarely go above a small size and I don't drink soda
Well not really. He was just ordering a meal (burger, fries, drink) and something sweet after. Which is what people tend to go for when going to McDonalds. Most dont just get a BigMac and call it a day.
I love the way you guys support every member of the YES team!!! would you be down to come come down to mexico?? nogales sonora?? keep up the good work....
Can't you tell that even though the premise is true, the episode is scripted and they are playing their parts in order to make a point? No one behaves like that, not in that time frame.
@@csabraxas The thing about sugar is different... The dude wpuld be crawling all over the place in pain if the went from eating like that to 0 sugar. Done that too. Not very fun, but it's worth quitting sugar.
@@maxczapski2239 its just for a week lol but i disagree wiht u being vegan my breakfast is chees egg bread apple youghurt strawberry then sandwich like meat tomato then grapes and then carrot nuts , then pasta or rice chicken
thats actually one of the key parts of life I believe. This should be applied to every aspect of life. Too much of anything is bad, and too little of some things is also bad. Life is much better inbetween
Luckily I live in the UK, because even though we are known to produce weird or boring, we are really health conscious as a country. We have the highest quality meat products in Europe, our products are usually free range/organic with minimal artificial ingredients and we are very strict on quality of imports. P.S. If you want fish n chips, buy some fish on the earliest opening day of the week because many fish n chips are closed on Sundays and/or Mondays as the fish is caught fresh, therefore by the next opening day, you’ll have the the freshest fish. It’s worth it.
An eye opener video . Thank you for this .. I eat a lot back then and just started dieting a few weeks because I gained a lot of when then I struggle so hard . Now, I lost a few kg and still counting. Eating healthy foods give a great impact on your day to day activity and provides more energy.
I‘ve once read that in america every food product is considered safe until proven unsafe. In europe they are unsafe until the company can prove through studies that the product is safe and only then it can be sold
I watched this video 1 month ago as a 220 pound man. Because of this video, I'm proud to say I'm watching this video today (August 19th, 2021) as a 200 pound man. I'm continuing my weight loss journey to get down to 180 so I can complete my goal of joining the Air Force. Thank you, Yes Theory. For inspiring me and many others and showing me that dieting isn't as hard as everybody makes it out to be.
Eating healthy gets cheaper with practice. Opening your fridge and "free styling" a meal out of ingredients that will go bad first is an important skill that takes practice.
The healthy food looks so good. I'm glad my mom raised me in a house full of healthy food and it's not like my mom didn't buy junk but she mostly got healthy stuff
Same my mom is rlly strict on what i eat and now I don't feel like eating chips anymore or coke she still buys us fast food every Sunday or Saturday but her food is much more good 👍
I agree with you, @@jazzle6944, but I get made fun of when I say that kind of stuff at home. It’s really discouraging but I’m trying to eat healthier. Just venting. (I’m not the imposter)
Does the brainfog come from the "bad" in the fast food or is it the fast food lacking nutriens? Bc undereating also causes brain fog, and I´m wondering if it´s both bc of malnutrition or if undereating is just a lack of energie/calories and something about what is in the fast food or how the body absorbs it is causing the brain fog.
Definitely not malnutrition. You can live off fast food. You shouldn't, but you can. I'm not sure if it's the calorie density, the typically off the chart of salt and fat that puts you in nap mode. I don't eat clean but I love to cook and don't eat much fast food. I'd never been to White Castle, so my SO took me and I sampled the menu. I felt like I'd eaten an anchor. I had to take a nap.
Fast food is very high in calories so energy and weight will deffinitly go up. It's the macros (nutrition) that's causing the brain fog and low mood depression and energy crashes while calories give energy a high sugar sodium count will make you crash hard and feel awefuk
It's just the macro ratio. Too much carbohydrate. I never ate from McDonald's in the US, but what Thomas is experiencing right after (!) eating the Big Mac and stuff on day 1 is likely either from just the amount of food, or it's simply exaggerated acting for content.
as someone who has been in recovery from anorexia and orthorexia for 3 years, this video is so refreshing and it is so helpful to think of food in terms of how will it make me feel? how will it affect my mental clarity? how will it affect my sleep and energy? rather than, will it make me fat? is it too many calories and too much sugar? is it "bad"? moving away from guilt and shame and a restrictive mindset and moving towards grace and gentle nutrition to help me be the best i can is so encouraging!!
As someone who also dealt with anorexia and orthorexia for 2 years, and took 2/3 years to recover i definitely know what you mean! It a waayyy better mindset than thinking of food as just calories.
I can definitely relate because I don't eat healthy really at all, it's fast food all the time, I can understand now why I feel tired all the time and don't ever sleep well or perform my best at work, thanks for the info Yes Theory!
I'd be interested in knowing how Thomas avoided eating fast food for that amount of time given the amount of travel you guys do, any travel tips for eating better while on the move would be great
The problem with many of us chronically disabled folks is that, we know for a fact that junk food is bad but for some of us its a matter of survival not choice. It's either no eating or crap eating, and the nutritionist told us '' Eating anything is better than having nothing in the stomach '' This message if for every people who have Eating disorders, are disabled or chronically ill person who know, You are seen and You are doing amazing 🙏🏼😊
The fact that Amar prayed over the food for his friends shows just how genuine he is and how much love he has for those around him. Continually amazed by the hearts of the members of Yes Theory
you dont need to burn all your money at Whole Foods to buy healthy, delicious food and produce. Farmers markets can also be quite unaffordable. I highly recommend going to international markets in your area that tend to have cheaper prices, better + seasonal produce, and tend to be family owned and operated!
I eat very healthy since 2013 (when I changed my habits and dropped 80 lbs), but this Holiday Season I decided to be a little (a lot) more flexible with my food choices and my stomach is still taking revenge, I even had to pay a visit to to Gastroenterologist. So yeah, I totally understand what you went through, Thomas
For me the number 1 video from Yes Theory, Awsome work guys i love what are you doing 😍⚡️🙏

The United States is the *only* place I've ever seen where processed food/fast food is actually cheaper than "regular" homemade food and that is very telling.
True, my digestive system did not appreciate my holidays there but if we wanted to buy fresh and non processed, we would have had to cut our holidays short 😄
Pretty much the same thing in many 3rd world countries too. A pack of instant noodles/ramen in my country is as low as USD 0.10, versus the cheapest bundle of local spinach being double the price. The former can be stretched with an egg and rice to feed a family of six, while the latter would need other condiments/sauces/pantry staples that not many have. At least where I live. TLDR: For a first world country, the US food culture behaves closer to that of a third world country.
@@patheticgamer325 yeah, pizza can be pricey especially if you're coming from somewhere where bread isn't really a staple. A USD15 pizza would easily buy 2kg of pork plus the veggies, but time and capacity to cook it may be inhibitive for some. Though that same USD15 can also purchase 15 cans of corned beef where a can = 1 whole day of sodium requirement.
For anyone trying to cook for themselves or their family, I'd highly recommend getting a slow cooker. Meals can be simple, take less prep time, but still taste amazing and be good for you 🙂
Wow, what a great video. 🌱 I absolutely feel a difference when I eat better quality foods...yet I reach for that instant gratification of fast food quite often. This video helped me observe myself and see the ways in which I can shift my habits. Thank you for yet another great video!
Fascinating - well done guys! I've increased my dark green veg (Kale, etc) and fibre-rich fruit, nuts and seeds. Microwave steamed veg, with a sprinkle of mixed seeds plus a little drizzle of extra-virgin Olive oil and/or a squeeze of lemon tastes great. Also a couple of dried figs a day is fabulous if your digestive system needs a little more help! I'm happy to bid takeaways bye-bye, because healthier food is actually easier to prepare and cook, as well as simply being better for my insides.
I'm so glad you mentioned that your diet helped combat how you feel in terms of your mental health. So many people forget about the simple changes you can make to things like diet to treat mental health, and how powerful looking at how you can change your own life to make yourself feel better is. This should be the absolute first step in your journey yet doctors are prescribing bills before advising people on how they can better themselves.
I agree that it's great to mention! I see a lot of overactive kiddos because of their diet. Kids that basically live off sugary snacks. Pills can be helpful, for example healthy eating gives me more energy but does nothing for my depression. But it should always be the last option with most mental health issues.
@@julieannanderson2228 omg i can relate to this, my little cousin ONLY eats sugar. when we try to give her anything healthy she doesn’t want it.. her mom has to add sugar to everything for her to like it. it’s so sad lol

@@dylanswrld I hardly eat fast food, maybe 5 times a year. And every time I do I feel ill for 3 or so hours while my body has to process that shit. If you aren't used to it you can definitely feel the effects.
I was vegan for 6 years. Healthiest I’ve ever been, going to the gym and working out everyday, recently in the past year or so I gave that up and started eating out 3-4 times a week and making really unhealthy choices. Ive been aware of these decisions, but have been lacking the motivation to change my diet and lifestyle, this video honestly gave me so much motivation to get back to where I used to be, thank you guys for doing this and bringing more awareness to how much eating can impact your mental health. Tomorrow is a new day and I’m going to change one day at a time :)
It was the processed food that made you feel like shit. Not the animal protein. Good luck though. Some people can sustain being vegan if you chow a ton of spirulina. I did the opposite. I had a standard American diet, read the four hour body, healthy meats, slow carbs, good fats, lots of greens, one cheat day a week. Inflammation gone, no cholesterol issues (eating all kinds of meat). Everyone’s needs are different. Vegan doesn’t work for everyone just like my way of eating doesn’t. Find yours and don’t be a bi*ch about it. More than one way to skin a cat. Or a piece of tofu.
I was vegan for 5 years and it was the unhealthiest I ever was. Now I've been on OMAD and on/off carnivore. Sugar and carb free. And it's like I got a whole new brain and body. Full mental clarity, energy, better mood, fixed digestion. I would never go back to vegan. Ever.

@@theroadnottakentravel I mean… their eating habits beforehand were the COMPLETE opposite of the challenge they endeavored in this video. As someone who eats “healthy” and junk food about the same amount I can say that I don’t feel good or bad when I eat only junk food or only healthy food because I’m used to it. They’re not. Especially Thomas, felt bad for him! All that grease that he’s not used to can seriously be so damaging to his healthy body. That’s my take though, you might be right. Who knows.
Man this video did a lot for me, I used to eat really unhealthy food daily and I was looking for a change, then I saw this video and I saw how eating healthy actually changes your energy and I started eating super clean, it’s been almost a month now and I’m still going strong, I started at 210lb and now I’m around 195, I started working out this week too and I just feel so amazing, this video changed me for the better! Thank you guys for that
The saddest part of all this is that, if there was a person who ate mostly or mainly unhealthily for most or all their lives, and then decided one day to make a drastic turn for the better, they might actually get very sick. And I think the reason is no more obvious than the fact all the sugar salt and other garbage theyve been feeding themselves is all theyve known, so that when they finally start eating real food, their body doesnt know what to do with it.
Why don't you make it a challenge for you and your fans? like the 100 days of sweat... --- days of healthy eating-and have a website with recipes and such, and we post how it's going etc... could be fun! anyone?
Wow this episode made me realize how bad I have been eating all my life and why i feel the way I do on a daily basis. This was a huge eye opener and I am going to try to apply what i learned from this video to my daily life.

Personally I'd have a word or 2 with my family if they were treating me poorly for any reason...Let alone just doing something to BETTER myself😑.Even if they're not wanting to live that way themselves,they should be offering you encouragement...Not trying to leave you feeling torn down.I don't know what type of people you deal with but in my case I have a narcissist for a parent & he always couldn't stand 👀 my mom and I do good things to better ourselves,it always set off his insecurities🙄.Regardless keep doing what helps you live a good healthy life & just ignore anyone that can't be happy for you and show you encouragement and support🙂👍🏻.
They probably treat you like an outsider because of how elitist you are and claiming to be the better person because of your diet. It's the same I feel with these people.

fun fact, in my country eating fast food are still considered "cool" by majority of the people, mom often bring their kids to fast food places to celebrate their kids achievements for example, it emits prestige vibes if you eat there, because it's modern, western, and for a price of a set of big mac you can literally have enough to buy 3 days worth of fresh from the farm ingredients.

Fun fact: if you put bottles of wine and spices around your stove while cooking, people will think you actually know how to cook.
Imma do this.
Have a shelf with 2 fancy cookbooks and stacks of printed recipes none of which have ever been used for good measure 😏 I need to get around to actually learning to cook from recipes oof my style of cooking so far is just put a bunch of random vegetables together and cook them and if it turns out bad give it to the chickens
Bottles of whole spices look so fancy: peppercorns, star anise seeds, cardamom pods. Plus buy the carrots with green tops attached and just lay a couple on the counter as if your going to use them soon. Sprinkle rock salt with your fingers in a fancy flourish and slap a fresh slice of lemon or lime on every plate, and voila, you're a gourmet.

@Templex do it gradually! Try for at least one piece of fruit a day and bump it up over time. Hide veggies in chili, and make smoothies, things like that. I had to crash healthy eating because my health was getting worse, and some days I was just starving, but I lost five pounds in a few weeks. It's worth it, you'll feel better and look better in just a few months. And I felt amazing when I got the recommended 8 glasses of water a day! Try again!
As someone who loves cooking, the best feeling is eating a dish with a lot of vegetables that you made and that tastes good
wish they did a medical check up beforehand, blood tests and stuff, would of been interesting to see a before and after comparison
Other youtubers have done this before, for example i think i've seen a video from both Stephanie Buttermore and erikthelectric or one of them and conclusion was that your body maintains very delicate balance SO WELL that a day, a week or even multiple months of eating bad doesn't necessarily alter anything in your body and if it does, it does it at such a tiny fraction which very soon before you know it is back to normal levels.
Doesn't matter as much, I mean one week isn't suddenly gonna reverse everything, Ammar's bloodproteins that is bind to sugar (HBA1) is still higher than someone's HBA1 who eats healthy. however it's a start.

BALANCE IS KEY! I cannot preach this enough. a 80-20 % of more wholesome foods and then the goodies is great. cutting anything out is never good
Cutting added sugars out is not bad thing?
Goody fruits, sure. But added sugars, cut that out if you can.
Balance is unnecessary- it’s only for people who can’t commit - once you stop eating junk you won’t crave it
I agree balance is key but you can make your own goodies
Never? What about smoking? Or alcohol? And if cutting those out entirely isn’t bad, what’s so special about sugar?
You can eat sugar if you want to, and obviously moderation is better than indulgence. But you do not *need* sugar, and sometimes complete abstinence is easier than moderation. It is a matter of choice and what works for the individual.

I'm 3 weeks into a drastic change of diet. I went from consuming 3000 calories or more everyday full of fatty dishes, fast food, sugar desserts, alcohol almost every night and with no exercise at all. To now consuming only a maximum of 1,500 calories a day, full of vegetables, protein, white rice, black coffee and working out. It's the best feeling I've felt in a while. I can sleep well, I no longer feel drowsy during the day, I got rid of my acid reflux and so far everything is good. I hope I can be consistent on this change of lifestyle :)
this is 3 months ago but i hope you're still consistent with this! i also hope you're doing well. keep going! 🫶🏻
I changed my diet to working out and eating more healthy, but also learning to actually cook rather than simple meals.. got acid reflex and kind of stopped after awhile. I was just trying to gain weight to donate blood, still haven't achieved that goal. I got tired of eating so much. Trying to consume what's in my fridge (still good stuff like frozen fruit, fish, greens, veggies) before I start a new journey of trying again using rainbow food method each day rather than calorie counting. But with my high metabolism, I wonder if trying by eating fast food would be helpful.... I've also always been good about not drinking soda cause I stopped as a teen when my parents gave me that as an option at restaurants.
So far, this is one of my favorite and motivational videos on RUclips. Thank you @YesTheory and @SeekDiscomfort. 👍

Definitely different from what I experience when I gave up processed sugars, preservatives, alcohol and grain. The first week wasn’t pleasant at all. I had headaches and was really irritable although I did sleep really well. At the end of the week I started my workout routine back up and was shocked about how well I did. The amount of weight I was lifting, and the distance I ran took me by surprise. I feel better now and only drink, and eat junk food on very special occasions.

I have a really bad binge disorder. I will usually drink a coffee in the morning, I only have lunch half the time but when I come home I’ll binge on over 4000 calories, sometimes even more. I’m always tired and have high cholesterol (in 17 but it’s genetic) meaning what I eat puts me at risk for heart issues. Recently I’ve started seeing a food therapist who’s helped me make changes toward a healthier life. I still really struggle, especially when I “relapse” but I think I’m getting better. This video is a great representation of not only what food can do to your body, but also how it controls you mind.
I know this is an old comment, but just wanted to say that I’ve had the same experience! I struggled most of my life with binge eating and a generally unhealthy relationship with food, but working with a weight neutral nutrition counselor was so helpful for me. I definitely learned to prioritize having full meals for breakfast and lunch, but also to work through my internal stigma around binge foods. Once I started eating consistently, and not restricting any types of food, I binged less, and my body started to crave more veggies/fruit/etc. I hope you’ve had a helpful experience as well! I recommend reading about intuitive eating, if you haven’t. I like this video, but some of the shaming around fast/processed video isn’t really helpful for people specifically with disordered eating.
You need to get mad at your binge problem you need to fight it like a bully

So glad I watched this. I was so fit last year. October I moved out and then because of the pandemic my workplace wasn't working anymore (security for events). But then I also got sick due to iron deficiency and then in January I had kind of hard Covid. I was unable to work, despite not having found work anyway. So what I lived of was only the money my parents sent me each week and due to new expenses while living alone, that wasn't enough. I bounced into unhealthy eating, went into a depressive phase again, was lacking motivation to cook longer than 30 mins in the kitchen bcs my roommate doesn't clean after himself (the kitchen was always so messy again even tho I always left it clean.). So, I gained weight and lost muscles because I also stopped working out because of my health and that depression. Now that I have a different workplace (actually as a PCR tester lmao) since 2 months I finally get a salary again and events also have started so I'll be able to work at my other job as well. And I am so motivated to definitely spend a penny more on healthy foods.
And yes, I learned processed foods that count as unhealthy are indeed less pricy. Especially because my favourite greens are from Asia and lesser known, they are more expensive to get here.
I will start my journey again, this motivated me to bounce back to where my fitness was exactly a year ago!
you are what you consume, not only the food, but also thoughts, entertaining, the time we spend with people. ALL that makes up who we are. Stay healthy and concsious fellow humans
When my husband was younger, some times he would drink a 2-liter soda in A DAY! He was diagnosed with high blood pressure in his 30s. Fast forward to age 63. Some form of fasting and eating low carb for the last 3 years he is able to greatly reduce the days he takes his one blood pressure pill. It’s really amazing how the body can heal when you give it a chance! His goal is to get off the med for good.
That’s amazing! One of my relatives is on the same journey, currently experimenting with beet juice and low carb soon!

Wish they would’ve had the doctor take some measurements first, like cholesterol, tryicerides, glucose levels, hormones, etc., then again after seven days. Would love to see the results.
One week won’t make too much of a difference for conclusive evidence except maybe measurements and weight - fasting glucose may be an interesting one to see. But as far as cholesterol goes, there would need to be a little more than 7 days time.
They are both young and active. The numbers are likely similar.

P.S. If you want fish n chips, buy some fish on the earliest opening day of the week because many fish n chips are closed on Sundays and/or Mondays as the fish is caught fresh, therefore by the next opening day, you’ll have the the freshest fish. It’s worth it.

Does the brainfog come from the "bad" in the fast food or is it the fast food lacking nutriens? Bc undereating also causes brain fog, and I´m wondering if it´s both bc of malnutrition or if undereating is just a lack of energie/calories and something about what is in the fast food or how the body absorbs it is causing the brain fog.
I think the brain fog comes from the sugar your ingesting since it messes up your focus and your memory
Definitely not malnutrition. You can live off fast food. You shouldn't, but you can. I'm not sure if it's the calorie density, the typically off the chart of salt and fat that puts you in nap mode. I don't eat clean but I love to cook and don't eat much fast food. I'd never been to White Castle, so my SO took me and I sampled the menu. I felt like I'd eaten an anchor. I had to take a nap.
Fast food is very high in calories so energy and weight will deffinitly go up. It's the macros (nutrition) that's causing the brain fog and low mood depression and energy crashes while calories give energy a high sugar sodium count will make you crash hard and feel awefuk
It's just the macro ratio. Too much carbohydrate. I never ate from McDonald's in the US, but what Thomas is experiencing right after (!) eating the Big Mac and stuff on day 1 is likely either from just the amount of food, or it's simply exaggerated acting for content.
The Egyptian is literally the cutest!!! This is an awesome video! Nice job guys 👍
"I feel like I'm actually becoming American."
Best line Thomas could've said lol
as someone who has been in recovery from anorexia and orthorexia for 3 years, this video is so refreshing and it is so helpful to think of food in terms of how will it make me feel? how will it affect my mental clarity? how will it affect my sleep and energy? rather than, will it make me fat? is it too many calories and too much sugar? is it "bad"? moving away from guilt and shame and a restrictive mindset and moving towards grace and gentle nutrition to help me be the best i can is so encouraging!!
As someone who also dealt with anorexia and orthorexia for 2 years, and took 2/3 years to recover i definitely know what you mean! It a waayyy better mindset than thinking of food as just calories.
I can definitely relate because I don't eat healthy really at all, it's fast food all the time, I can understand now why I feel tired all the time and don't ever sleep well or perform my best at work, thanks for the info Yes Theory!
This was such a beautiful video actually. Thank you guys 💙

The problem with many of us chronically disabled folks is that, we know for a fact that junk food is bad but for some of us its a matter of survival not choice. It's either no eating or crap eating, and the nutritionist told us '' Eating anything is better than having nothing in the stomach ''
This message if for every people who have Eating disorders, are disabled or chronically ill person who know, You are seen and You are doing amazing 🙏🏼😊
wow! what a cool video brother! you really know how to present information while also being entertaining
The fact that Amar prayed over the food for his friends shows just how genuine he is and how much love he has for those around him. Continually amazed by the hearts of the members of Yes Theory
Jesus loves you!
Dr doof yup you need a doctor! There is no proof of jesus, ( whatever), what so ever religion is not good for you to consume
you dont need to burn all your money at Whole Foods to buy healthy, delicious food and produce. Farmers markets can also be quite unaffordable. I highly recommend going to international markets in your area that tend to have cheaper prices, better + seasonal produce, and tend to be family owned and operated!
fr, this there's misconception that farmers markets are automatically cheaper when in my experience it's quite literally the oppsite.
those don't exist near me.
I eat very healthy since 2013 (when I changed my habits and dropped 80 lbs), but this Holiday Season I decided to be a little (a lot) more flexible with my food choices and my stomach is still taking revenge, I even had to pay a visit to to Gastroenterologist. So yeah, I totally understand what you went through, Thomas
For me the number 1 video from Yes Theory, Awsome work guys i love what are you doing 😍⚡️🙏
The United States is the *only* place I've ever seen where processed food/fast food is actually cheaper than "regular" homemade food and that is very telling.
Wrong if you buy it right
True, my digestive system did not appreciate my holidays there but if we wanted to buy fresh and non processed, we would have had to cut our holidays short 😄
Pretty much the same thing in many 3rd world countries too. A pack of instant noodles/ramen in my country is as low as USD 0.10, versus the cheapest bundle of local spinach being double the price. The former can be stretched with an egg and rice to feed a family of six, while the latter would need other condiments/sauces/pantry staples that not many have. At least where I live.
TLDR: For a first world country, the US food culture behaves closer to that of a third world country.
@@ohoh7541 Im In 3rd world country too but a medium sized pizza at pizza hut costs just as much as 75% of monthly groceries
@@patheticgamer325 yeah, pizza can be pricey especially if you're coming from somewhere where bread isn't really a staple. A USD15 pizza would easily buy 2kg of pork plus the veggies, but time and capacity to cook it may be inhibitive for some. Though that same USD15 can also purchase 15 cans of corned beef where a can = 1 whole day of sodium requirement.
For anyone trying to cook for themselves or their family, I'd highly recommend getting a slow cooker. Meals can be simple, take less prep time, but still taste amazing and be good for you 🙂
Whats that
@@sibulu2878 crock pot
I hate crock pot meals so much
This is true
But they're slower and cook worse?
Wow, what a great video. 🌱
I absolutely feel a difference when I eat better quality foods...yet I reach for that instant gratification of fast food quite often.
This video helped me observe myself and see the ways in which I can shift my habits.
Thank you for yet another great video!
Fascinating - well done guys! I've increased my dark green veg (Kale, etc) and fibre-rich fruit, nuts and seeds. Microwave steamed veg, with a sprinkle of mixed seeds plus a little drizzle of extra-virgin Olive oil and/or a squeeze of lemon tastes great. Also a couple of dried figs a day is fabulous if your digestive system needs a little more help! I'm happy to bid takeaways bye-bye, because healthier food is actually easier to prepare and cook, as well as simply being better for my insides.
I'm so glad you mentioned that your diet helped combat how you feel in terms of your mental health. So many people forget about the simple changes you can make to things like diet to treat mental health, and how powerful looking at how you can change your own life to make yourself feel better is. This should be the absolute first step in your journey yet doctors are prescribing bills before advising people on how they can better themselves.
I agree that it's great to mention! I see a lot of overactive kiddos because of their diet. Kids that basically live off sugary snacks. Pills can be helpful, for example healthy eating gives me more energy but does nothing for my depression. But it should always be the last option with most mental health issues.
@@julieannanderson2228 omg i can relate to this, my little cousin ONLY eats sugar. when we try to give her anything healthy she doesn’t want it.. her mom has to add sugar to everything for her to like it. it’s so sad lol
This is so important for people to understand!
@@j-hope_realwife Damn.. Diabetes inc
@@MCoconut97 surprisingly she doesn’t have diabetes yet😭i hope she never does
Hey there, thank you all for watching, this was a brutal experiment for me but a massively eye opening one that I hope you all get something out of!! Much love and have a great week ⚡️🙏
I’m subbed
I like it
You guys are amazing 💖
USA IS NUMBER 1🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi.
Thank you for this important piece of educational content!!
I love this, the plant based lifestyle saved me and healed me post brain aneurysm surgery. anti inflammatory diet is the best choice for me!
I’m going to give this a go. I recently thought about how I could get better sleep to get through the day better. Now I’m realizing my diet is probably a huge reason this is an issue. Thanks for the upload.
Laying in bed saying the exact same thing, if you could give me an update I’d love to see how your feeling to get a perhaps less biased answer!!
Hey there, I’ve been following a no added sugar diet for some time now, and it’s totally worth it! This comment was from 8 months ago, but lemme tell u, I’ve been sleeping so well and haven’t had a breakout in a long time now. Highly recommend it.
“We get it Thomas, you’re healthy.”
-Everyone
he was acting like he was gonna die after he ate 1 cheeseburger
@@dylanswrld seriously. kind of ruined the viewing experience.
@@HighlandDancer idk if you have ever stopped eating fast food or not but I stopped eating it since june ig and yesterday I ate a burger and it felt so weird eating it that I could not sleep for hours at night. I am legit typing this while drinking a coffee so that I can be awake after a 3hr sleeo
@@dylanswrld I hardly eat fast food, maybe 5 times a year. And every time I do I feel ill for 3 or so hours while my body has to process that shit. If you aren't used to it you can definitely feel the effects.
All of you people always make funny quotes look at the comments after your done the video
I ate 13 McDonald’s cookies 3 nights ago and I’ve had nonstop kidney pain ever since. Please eat healthy y’all
My body is so confused watching this. I’m so hungry yet feel so sick. From good food to bad food my body can’t decide how to feel when I see each 😂
I was vegan for 6 years. Healthiest I’ve ever been, going to the gym and working out everyday, recently in the past year or so I gave that up and started eating out 3-4 times a week and making really unhealthy choices. Ive been aware of these decisions, but have been lacking the motivation to change my diet and lifestyle, this video honestly gave me so much motivation to get back to where I used to be, thank you guys for doing this and bringing more awareness to how much eating can impact your mental health. Tomorrow is a new day and I’m going to change one day at a time :)
good luck, friend! you're doing awesome
It was the processed food that made you feel like shit. Not the animal protein. Good luck though. Some people can sustain being vegan if you chow a ton of spirulina. I did the opposite. I had a standard American diet, read the four hour body, healthy meats, slow carbs, good fats, lots of greens, one cheat day a week. Inflammation gone, no cholesterol issues (eating all kinds of meat). Everyone’s needs are different. Vegan doesn’t work for everyone just like my way of eating doesn’t. Find yours and don’t be a bi*ch about it. More than one way to skin a cat. Or a piece of tofu.
Same!!! Let's go back to how we once were!
I was vegan for 5 years and it was the unhealthiest I ever was.
Now I've been on OMAD and on/off carnivore. Sugar and carb free. And it's like I got a whole new brain and body. Full mental clarity, energy, better mood, fixed digestion.
I would never go back to vegan. Ever.
Dont put yourself down to much mate, the past year has been a stressful one and practically brought on a new way of living. Could of brought emotions up that you’ve experienced. But like you said tomorrow is a new dayv
“Now I’m a fucking cheeseburger” is going to be my senior quote
HAHAHA
I didnt get to pick my senior qoute. It said, "I tried to catch fog today, I mist." 🥲
i used to drink a pot of coffee to myself every day. now i dont drink coffee at all,
i used to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day. now i dont smoke at all.
i used to drink a stupid amount. i still drink too often. but im working on it.
you gotta start the journey to find the end. everyone is different, but
START THE JOURNEY
I am really thankful for this video 📸☺️....thank you so much 🙏🙏
I feel like Thomas went too hard. Seems like he over ate instead of just eating a normal meal.
He got addicted to the food. So he was full but you still want to eat more. It’s a nasty cycle
They were both exaggerating
It goes both ways imo. Not many people are eating that healthy for every meal of the day, even if they are health conscious
@@theroadnottakentravel I mean… their eating habits beforehand were the COMPLETE opposite of the challenge they endeavored in this video. As someone who eats “healthy” and junk food about the same amount I can say that I don’t feel good or bad when I eat only junk food or only healthy food because I’m used to it. They’re not. Especially Thomas, felt bad for him! All that grease that he’s not used to can seriously be so damaging to his healthy body. That’s my take though, you might be right. Who knows.
The purpose of the challenge was to eat unhealthily
Man this video did a lot for me, I used to eat really unhealthy food daily and I was looking for a change, then I saw this video and I saw how eating healthy actually changes your energy and I started eating super clean, it’s been almost a month now and I’m still going strong, I started at 210lb and now I’m around 195, I started working out this week too and I just feel so amazing, this video changed me for the better! Thank you guys for that
idk why but this (vid) has become one of those staple vids i binge and repeatedly watch from y'alls channel XD
The saddest part of all this is that, if there was a person who ate mostly or mainly unhealthily for most or all their lives, and then decided one day to make a drastic turn for the better, they might actually get very sick.
And I think the reason is no more obvious than the fact all the sugar salt and other garbage theyve been feeding themselves is all theyve known, so that when they finally start eating real food, their body doesnt know what to do with it.
Why don't you make it a challenge for you and your fans? like the 100 days of sweat... --- days of healthy eating-and have a website with recipes and such, and we post how it's going etc... could be fun! anyone?
couldn´t agree more. that sounds like so much fun a so beneficial
Sounds like a perfect recipe for some people to potentially develop an eating disorder. There is a lot of mental health going into nutrition.
@Rayowag teaching people how to cut out crap and eat healthy food instead will now give people an eating disorder? Oh please
Yes!! I'd totally join
omg i’d love that
Damn the editors deserve a raise couldn’t stop laughing when Thomas is at IHOP
literally!! so funny! 😂😂
Wow this episode made me realize how bad I have been eating all my life and why i feel the way I do on a daily basis. This was a huge eye opener and I am going to try to apply what i learned from this video to my daily life. I have been watching Yes Theory for a little over 2 months now since I discovered it and I absolutely love this channel. Thumbs up to Thomas and Ammar for going through this challenge. You guys are awesome, I usually binge watch your videos lol Yes Theory has brought so much joy and happiness to my life and it feels like im a part of the family with you guys. I cannot imagine my life without Yes Theory!!! God Bless You All!!!!!
