  • Is brown rice better than white rice...? anyone..!

  • Thank you for posting this video. Very helpful. What's your opinion on Greek yogurt? You mentioned that dairy is not good.  But Greek yogurt is quite high in protein and the plain flavor is low in sugar. Thoughts on this? Thanks.

  • @nancicitabambie pasteurization (heat) denatures the protein. That's why raw milk is the only healthy milk ......

  • ill go ahead and call myself a stupid looser who doesnt know what hes talking about.... lol... that seems to be the trend now a days.. you should watch videos to learn, not judge!!!!!!!!! another thing we have a problem with.....

  • getting into the detail of diets and serving size ect is a more personal advanced custom diet you can build for yourself that meets your needs. most people think they are too busy to check and plan what you eat more often than not. or they just dont care as much as the next. taking care of your body is the most important. with out it you can not go anywhere or do anything. lol.

    and yes.. it is sad that he had to make that video. not for him- for everyone else that doesnt know the basics-Stone

  • Ive been working out pretty much my whole life, and I understood the video. We are all taught that no food is bad food.. by nutritionist... But there are better choices!!!!. The foods pointed out that were bad are foods and drink that I would generally stay away from. and the food he said to eat is food that I would say is better for you by far...

  • High Fructose Corn Syrup in Bread? omg....Im gonna go......... ;(

  • Gatorade also has electrolytes in it, so if you are doing lots of exersise, then yes, gator aid is fine. But better to just drink water unless you are doing over intese workouts, like you. Its one thing to be fit, and healthy fine, but you muslces and ridiculous tight sleeveless shirts just turn me totally off from even wanting to listen.

  • Okay.... Every cell in your body requires energy, which is glucose, frutose, so no sugar egauls dead....The fact is us Americans dont pay any attention to exercise, serving size, what we eat, how much, etc.

  • eat donuts and ur gonna get fat and get diabetes are you deluded ur very tunnel visioned and i kinda respect that but its making people feel like they cant treat themselves every now and then

  • @Mazwell96 Not eating sugar is tunnel visioned? deluded? Let me put it to you this way: you are what you eat. I take care of my body so it will take care of me......to each his own........i just post info. Do with it what you will.

  • Donuts are really bad but I know The Rock (Dwayne Douglas Johnson) eats a lot of them for energy though? And he looks great! 

  • It is interesting - a lot of these products have loads of sugars in them, 

  • @kingofcraig - I think thats because they want it to taste good right when you open it, so you dont have to prepare it or change it or add too it... which in the end.... causes more problems..!!!. health problems. if you dont have to work hard to get what you want or to go where your going, than its probably not worth gettin or going! lol

  • @snowjosie Yeah, food is food and some is better than others, but life is for living, i can go thin when i die lol.

  • @totalhealth4life ok that makes more sense the clear contradiction with the avocation of Gatorade but apparent dislike for refined sugar bothered me

  • @totalhealth4life well then explain where i'm wrong i mean i could easily be confused or misinformed

  • im sorry but half of what hes saying is just wrong, for instance he assumes less sugar is better without any regard for serving sizes, also he knocks refined sugar but advocates Gatorade which has refined sugar while he knocks juice which has no refined sugar

  • @Lfree1111 All sugar is bad even natural sugar.....if you eat too much fruit it isn't good. Gatorade sucks too. This was years ago. I"m much cleaner now. Coconut water is the best sports drink there is. Anything with 26 grams of sugar, LIKE OJ, isn't good for you. Eat the orange, not the OJ.

  • @totalhealth4life To be honest I rarely shop at the grocery shop for meats and veggies. I got to amish/mennonite people. Everything they grow is natural and organic. If you ever want to truely eat healthy, buy from amish.

  • @MiroslavPiekos - I was gonna say that.. lol. thats usually where I prefer to go. amish-mennonite. always the best and fresh.

  • Comment removed

  • @Lfree1111 You're way wrong my friend

  • everyone is entitled to the way everyone eats and lives, i enjoy eating healthy foods but i wouldn't eliminate all the foods groups mentioned hear otherwise life would be boring. As long as my weight is perfect and i don't suffer from any complications im happy. But dairy products are something i have really cut down because they really caused havoc on my digestive system, really makes a difference for me

  • Not ignorance when all your video was contradicting and you summed up all bro science in one video!

  • @88blakers Explain genius

  • Really great video series here, amigo! EVERYBODY should follow your advice!

  • This needs 150,000,000 views.

  • what is your opinion on hemp proteins??

  • portion control eat a donut 1 a month 1 every 2 weeks its how much you eat your more likely to give in eating none than just letting your self have 1 trust me this is comeing from a 11 year old who lost 57lb the natural way i spoiled my self a little in the diet but portion controll watch survivalguns videos and then watch mine the vids on survival gun were me 2 yrs ago the vids on food the best way is me now watch em ull see.

  • im a nigga and i be eaten them fried chicken and hittin the gym and im swoll like a muthafucka.

  • So stupid and untrue

  • @88blakers IGNORANCE IS BLISS!

  • Is perdue chicken good for you????

  • @mcds87 yea, if you like arsenic, antibiotics, hormones, and pesticides in your chicken.......they are factory farmed chickens bro.............nasty nasty unhealthy stuff...........only one way to go organic, cage free chickens free of all that shit

  • Ummm...did he check the label for all the chemicals in the sauces they put on those pre-marinated and pre-cooked chickens? I just don't feel that all the info here is accurate.

  • @kharmablue1 made this a few years ago.......I know only eat organic free range chicken and organic sauces

  • @totalhealth4life You should probably start doing some work on that grammar now then.

  • when your saying that this is all bad then probs they know it aswell and still sell it are you saying they want to kill us? 

  • @AntiUmah Grocers and people who manufacture processed food products don't give a rat's ass about our health. They are only in business to make $ and use the cheapest ingredients they can find. It's up to YOU to look out for yourself......this is why I continually give you info to help you make the correct choices of what you put in your body

  • hey man you need to watch a series called 'guns germs and steel', torrent it. seriously it talks about how we've ate grains for the past 5000years AT LEAST, wheat, oats, cows even lol and goats all those dairy products come from the middle east, and they helped europeans colonise the world, you'd probably find the information interesting, personally i'd say it was all the added sugar that is making us fat. you have bigger arm muscles than my leg muscles and you're twice my age, good work man.

  • @FakePlasticShrimp thanks bro....ill look into that series

  • I got a little scared when he paused at tuna. XD I loves mah tuna!

    +Gatoraid is terrible. I used to drink in since my doctor told me to. It's the only thing they let me drink after a surgery. My brother did some research and learned it was horrible. Only drink it if you are planning to use it as a refreshment for work outs.

  • I got a little scared when he paused at tuna. XD I loves mah tuna!

  • god dammit i cant stand veggys but i know how good they are for u, is there anything i can eat in replace, please say a V8 lol

  • @IPWNBXRmash NO WAY JOSE!!! You can supplement with a good super green food in addition to veggies

  • do you take whey?

  • @1992marshmallow for the last 30 years

  • @totalhealth4life im allergic to whey or dairy products, what should i take post workout?

  • @1992marshmallow use brown rice protein powder

  • @totalhealth4life is drinking raw eggs bad? i usually just mix 2 eggs with rice milk after workout and before bed

  • @1992marshmallow I eat organic cage free eggs every day in my protein shakes. Very small chance of Salmonella and you get all of the nutrients unharmed by the heat of cooking them. If 2 eggs is all the protein you are getting after a workout you are never going to be able to maximize quality muscle building bro!

  • your body naturally produces digestive enzymes - no way you need to take them as supplements!

  • @MagicEars1 You are ignorant my friend! Do some research before making FALSE statements. Everyone is born with a certain enzyme potential or capacity. This is the number of enzymes your body can produce in a lifetime. Research has shown that every ten years the body’s production of enzymes decreases by 13%. With age comes the need for supplementation. When you eat cooked or processed foods, you are depleting your enzyme potential.

  • @totalhealth4life well maybe thats true as you get older. im 24 so i'm ok for now.

  • @MagicEars1 Correct bro

  • @MagicEars1 Strong Unaware

  • Nah just saying they drank wine and ate unleavened bread

  • Jesus and his disciples ate bread Foo.

  • @BleedingEdge92 and your point? Does that mean it's healthy for you??? Give me some science bro

  • Thanks for these videos Rico. Ever since I have started taking these videos seriously, I have cut out dairy (replaced milk with almond milk), started eating nuts and vegetables, and I've lost 25 pounds. I lost two inches off my waist and my face has cleared up.

  • @mr455590lax You're very welcome! I love hearing from people who I've helped! My blog and FREE bi-weekly newsletter have tons of relevant info you won’t find on my You Tube videos! YOU ARE MISSING OUT IF YOU DON’T SUBSCRIBE

  • Finally we may arrive at the Truth ! TY

  • @SIMDJ13 My pleasure.......be sure and subscribe to my site!

  • damn, you look and talk like u should be in an action movie.

  • @jwoodford90 ok Hollywood producers..........pick up the phone!

  • nice hair

  • just got into ezekial bread! everyone should get in on it

  • You do a wonderful job with the explanations with what you teach. What I want to know is, what changed from your "protein shake the right way" Video till this comment about about the honey and that "all sugar is bad" ? In the protein shake video, you used icecream in every shake because you said it's important to replenish with simple sugars after a workout. Everyone who hasn't seen this video yet, but has seen the other, is dumping scoops of icecream into their shakes:)

  • this is the best Video i've seen of some one explaining about refined sugars and how terrible it is for everyone. i gotta show this video to my cousin, now she won't think I'm crazy. Great Video Mr.Connor

  • you are awesome man...thnx

  • Black guy in the middle : Hell no they aint getting me on videoo !

  • @shussey100 95% is garbage I wouldn't have anyone eat!

  • nice

  • Gatorade...14 grams of sugar...thats one serving. There is four servings in the whole bottle. lol :p

  • hahahahahahah pizza!!! Cheat meal? :-)???

  • the government is great aint it? recommending 6-11 servings and subsidizing the very thing that is causing obesity.

  • you look like the bodybuilder looking guy from Avatar....This is papa dragon

  • Finally someone who knows what they are talking about. I totally agree with this diet and live by it. I do get cravings for sweetness though, is eating a spoonful of honey ok?

    Do you use whey protein powder from grass fed cows?

    and is eating natural yoghurts ok?

  • @ishoa1 My protein isn't from grass fed but its the next best thing...Bioplex pure WPI natural Isolate.....non GMO, no sugar, carbs, lactose or gluten Don't eat yogurt.. Try Keifir! All sugar is bad......I use Xylitol.......best tasting sugar substitute ever...at least use organic honey if you use honey. .Do it before you work out.

  • @totalhealth4life isnt honey natural though?

  • @ishoa1 it's still sugar bro

  • @totalhealth4life very true. thank you for your vids. they are awesome

  • @ishoa1 My pleasure..........be sure and subscribe to my site totalhealth4life net

  • @totalhealth4life organic honey is a load of shit, its all marketing. bees roam free its next to impossible to control.

  • @ishoa1 i believe to keep the healthy stuff in ur house and once in a while go out and eat something thats shitty ,, but keep it outside the house so its more of a hassle to go get

  • @mrmee1229 very true. I will keep that in mind. 

  • hahaha I liked the pizza segment lol.

  • Rico, you don't mention avoiding GMO foods here, is there a reason?

  • @HorrorAngel666 It was made a few years back and I should put an annotation in there....thanks

  • @HorrorAngel666 Recheck bro.......I just added an annotation........thanks very much for the help

  • 4:50<------- Black girl checking you out Rico..she likes your back...awesome at your age..congrats

  • I watched this a hundered times (no joke)! its awesome, its like shopping with Rico :) Rico, can you make new grocery store videos in the future? with your newest informations? that would be so awesome :)

  • @BeatBay Thats not a bad idea! I only shop at Trader Joes or Whole Foods now but even these have a lot of things I stay away from!

  • @totalhealth4life That would be awesome, Rico! Like I said, I love your grocery Videos so much. They are so helpful for us! I am looking forward to your news videos. :) Have a great week my friend!

  • lol at the end!

  • Nice guy. I'm #118 thumbs up

  • u need milk o build strong bones

  • @xxmrboboxx You gotta be kidding me! You've been brainwashed by the Milk Industry.........I"ll send you info.....anyone who studies health knows not to drink milk

  • @totalhealth4life i drink 1% is that ok?

  • @xxmrboboxx

    Did you not read what I sent you..........NO.......raw milk is the only healthy milk and its hard to find..........drink almond or rice drink which is NON DAIRY

  • How about beans? is that sufficient protein?

  • In 100% fruit juices with 'no added sugar' there is naturally occuring sugars from the fruit. So you would get this from eating the fruit itself.

    Please respond as to wether this is true and what benefits there are too eating fruit instead of juices that are made of 100% fruit juice

  • @TGC1000 I dont do any fruit juice anymore....too much sugar.. I limit my fruit comsumption a lot lately too and eat tons of organic veggies. Blood sugar is way better regulated...fruit much better than juice...but buy organic and wash as most conventionally grown is LOADED with pesticides

  • @totalhealth4life question... i understand there is a wasted amount of added sugar in fruit juices... but talking regular fruit. wont the other carbs, proteins and fats you intake with the shake or meal slow down spikes in blood sugar anyways? so its not going to make very much of a difference at all in blood sugar unless you took the fruit all by itself. as soon as you mix more than 1 macro source together the Glycemic index pretty much goes right out the window. research diabetic diets.

  • Please reply to this, will frozen fruits in bar form work as well as fresh fruit?

    Note: This is for making juice.

  • The Paleolithic diet is way too strict and regimented. It should instead be about moderation. Look at the French for example, the champions of enjoying great food. They have a diet heavy on bread, dairy, sauces, creams, etc. However, they are certainly much thinner and healthier than we Americans. To the French it is about the joy of food. But they are very into unprocessed foods, portion control, the amount of time to enjoy the meal. They focus on quality, not quantity. All things in a balance.

  • There was a lot of grain in gatherers' diets.

  • Umm...you do realize all the sugar there (2:11) is from the oranges themselves, they DON'T add sugar.

  • @pudicus2 "refined" sugar? It's fructose. And even if it wasn't, this man has no scientific basis for the majority of the words that exit his mouth.

  • urghh, now to make protein shakes WITHOUT milk.. now that's tough.

  • @Ultimatebrownstuff Hardly.............use almond drink non dairy

  • @Ultimatebrownstuff or use water

  • I wish I had a farmers market near me. I don't own a car, and ride my bike or walk everywhere, and the only place within walking distance is an acme.

  • Hey Rico, just a quick Question: (and no i'm not being a smart-ass, i'm serious). If dairy products are bad for your body, than how is Whey Protine GOOD? Whey is a derivitive from Milk aka: Dairy's source. in fact, Whey is just another word for Milk Plasma. So if dairy/milk is bad than how is Whey good? thanks rico.

  • Those, so called "Fruits, and vegetables" can be GMO. Hit the farmers market.

  • @CollegeLoheart You are exactly right!!!!!!!!!!!!! only buy from a farmer's market or organic

  • @totalhealth4life

    Thanks, man.

  • hm just wonder man, dont you have a cheat day sometime to eat whatever you want, or do you always eat healthy ?. Great videos bdw i save favorites thanks!.

  • @Meeltic I eat to live. I don't live to eat..........your body is your temple........treat it good and it will be very good to you!

  • @totalhealth4life this is exactly what me n my mom said b4, we eat to live, not big on food @ all, i love how snacks and other unhealthy things may taste, but i've cut out almost everything once i got focus on my body, my appearance is more important than my sweet tooth!

  • @Meeltic

    Like he said in the video, our ancestors were hunters and gatherers. A very good point he had. They didn't have processed foods and unhealthy fake crap in their diets. They ate living creatures or living plants. It's what our bodies were designed to eat.

    If everyone ate like this guy in the video, there wouldn't be any over-weight people.

    The choice is yours.

  • @geoffreytracy i dont eat so mutch unhealthy food, but i got a cheat day sometimes, you must live sometimes and eat what ever you want, IF you are a healthy person and have a healthy body of course. Just train hard and eat and of course rest.

  • isit ok if i start the day wth a nutella 60% wholemeal sandwhich? with a glass of 99% fat free milk? 2G FAT per 200ml serving

  • @Xiia0Sn00pY thats terrible! Don't drink milk...and stay away from grains......very bad selection....where is your protein?

  • @totalhealth4life but i made a weight loss from before since last year june i was 81kg for a 15 year old. this year im 16 and weigh about 55-57kg est. protein? erm sushi>? thats the only meat i eat i dont take shakes or other meats other then fish

  • @Xiia0Sn00pY You can lose weight but still be very unhealthy........your diet is very very unbalanced ...........it sounds like you don't know the basics of proper nutrition at all......that will be very unhealthy for u in the long run

  • @totalhealth4life ok then any advice? im not sure if u know what is the melbourne shuffle but that is my dance and exersise. its difficult for me doing crunches cos when i crunch my spine comes out

  • @Xiia0Sn00pY get my book......its my total program

  • great video

  • Great Video, Thanks for the information and trying to give people a better quality of LIFE.I for one am going to listen.

  • i believe there is high fructose corn syrup in gatorade

  • So you do not consume dairy nor gluten products such as bread, rice, etc. I love sprouted grain cereal and bread, are these also bad? What protein source do you use if you do not consume dairy being that whey is the fastest absorbing protein source? I myself lost 80 LBS and am beginning to try and bulk up. However I would like to do it the healthiest way posible, I'm not going to become a vegen but I definitely am curious of all the whole-natural foods out there; Especially for illnesses.

  • You look awesome bro. I hope I get to look like you when I'm older. I have a great body now, although I could lose 3-4% BF. I have high blood pressure, however... which is really a bummer cause I love bodybuilding and have been doing it for 6 years almost. They say the HBP is a silent killer... I hope it doesn't kill me. Sometimes I feel my heart skip a beat and I get a lump in my throat at times. Oh well.. you live once. I'm going to try and improve my diet and maybe lower my BP.

  • thanks a lot........yes research breathing technigues that lower bp

  • I still think Gatarode is bad too, High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!!

  • I use Oro wheat whole grain Hamburger buns.But I have Bread only once a day=1 Bun.I can make chicken/Turkey/Roast beef all organic sandwiches or sometimes I use cucumber/tomato onion lettuce with mustard.Mustard is good for you it has Tumeric which is good for the liver.Just be sure there is no FDC Yellow #5 That is toxic poisen,any food dye or coloring is.Caramel color in sodas is to.You can be creative and it will get you away from the 6 dollar burger.I do Bison or turkey burgers once a week.

  • I think because he's trying to inform a large array of people he shouldn't be so strict in his advice and suggestions of what to eat. he should do it slowly and take into consideration people who dont do this or know this as well as him. he was like take digestive enzymes when u eat canned foods.. lol EAT CANNED just to get the vegetables.. and talk in more detail about food details like your dairy which u skipped ovr. i dont want to go to your blog lol. BUT ALSO VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO! kudos

  • what about condiments????

  • check the nutrition facts labels and ingredients

  • "Tropicana Pure Premium OJ" is said to be 100% orange juice. Wouldn't you get the same type sugars from a whole orange that you'd get from the 100% Premium OJ?

  • * You will control your blood sugar level by eating whole fruits rather than the juice of four or five juiced fruits. Eat the orange; dont drink a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, which contains sugar from four or five oranges.

  • what's so bad about refined sugar compared to other carbs? it all ends up as glycogen in your body in the end, right?

  • lol im watching this video all the way through and thinking 'fuck, this guy's actually 54?!' haha

  • hey nice video!!

    but im just wonderin if u ever eat fast food or pizza or stuff like that?

  • nope.........Eat to live, Don't live to eat!

  • cool i think i should stop eating raw meat

  • I see you're pretty knowledgeable when it comes to food...However you're missing a few key aspects...

    Why not just go vegan?...That would be a logical choice in your case.....

    I'll leave it up to you to get the facts( as to why I said what I did) for yourself if this message does catch your eye...

    Peace !

  • Wait gatorade is very bad! any ingredient with numbers  is bad

    cmon its not natural

  • You dont eat whole grain rice or brown rice or brown pasta??? What do you substitute it with?

  • Comment removed

  • Great Advice!! THX

  • good stuff.

  • I thank you for these videos sir. I understand that you are doing these to sell books (nothing wrong with that iananpnut01) However even though I cannot afford to buy a book (currently unemployed) I still got quite a bit of FREE very useful info from the video. I was just wondering where do you get digestive enzymes?

  • Whats the difrence between refined sugars and normal?

    Is there something wrong with white bread?

  • refined sugars is like simple sugar. its kinda like manmade sugar. complex sugar that come from fruit are good sugar for you

  • where do you get your carbs from if you dont eat like rice and bread and stuff? im trying to put on some muscle mass, finding it hard enough to consume enought calories with grains...without them...i wouldnt even know where to start

  • thank you so much for making these videos man...it is great to see that at least some people still care about what they put into their bodies

  • Hey Rico, what happened to the Mona Vie videos?

  • what would you recommend for a 205 lb ecto meso trying to bulk ,training and nutrition health conscious wise

  • i apologize for my comments that was a dick thing to say i obviously like your videos or i wouldn't watch them hopefully you will get a chance to make some more vids in the future

  • It takes a man to apologize and I respect you for it. Good things come out of adversity! Thanks bro. I will be making more but give me a bit!!! I love doing it but I have to pay the bills too! In no way am I rich from book sales......not even close......its a passion for helping others.

  • your right im idiot to the fact of good health there are so many different articles out there about health and fitness and nutrition one day something is good for you the other its not like aerobic exercise isn't most everything we do physically in a sense aerobic. heres a left fielder for you what are your thoughts on hgh and testosterone. oh and where are the new videos did you sell out of books and water machines

  • im extremely busy redoing my web sites and with Mona Vie and our new energy drink...meetings all the time with people & club owners. I'm in the infant stages of book sales & educating people on how an alkaline pH can fight disease.......it seems hard to believe but I'm quoting Nobel Prize winners....Im not just making up this. I havent been sick in 5 years, not even a cold. I distribute the machines and it is the single most immediate and important thing you can do to make changes in ur health!

  • this guy made videos just to sell bullshit a lousy book and water machines

  • another idiot hater who doesnt know shit. 23.. I've forgotten more than you'll EVER KNOW. Try not to stay an ignorant moron your whole life

  • 4:00 that is a great part! "you will get diabetics simple as that " haha yes but it is true! Please make a part 4 of the grocery store.....

  • lol Vegetables are primarily WATER

  • what about if I steam broccoli--will I lose some vitamins?

  • Yes any type of cooking causes food to lose some vitamins/minerals.

  • Great Vid Rico!!

  • This dude does look good for 50 , but man that is some disciplined eating
