2 Minute Salad

[vad7771]

that not a big meal not many calories,

[hoppimike]

@SleepIsMagic to be fair it is a primal diet video :)

[Mrwubz]

@SleepIsMagic so i assume you stop lions from eating zebras...

[Yugrox1]

Yea a refrigerated drawer, under your counter top. Everyone has one of those, don't they?

[gavinjamesaitken1]

@Yugrox1 is no different than a normal fridge, stop making excuses.

[Yugrox1]

@gavinjamesaitken1 Yea because everyone has one of those built into the island in their kitchen. No excuses needed. I follow the Primal Blueprint. Doing great! ;)

[LibertyWaxlips]

@SleepIsMagic lol

[brandtomatic]

So...how long does the two minute salad take if you include washing the vegetables, chopping the vegetables, cutting the meat, and making the dressing? Methinks more than two minutes.

[Mrwubz]

@brandtomatic Oh the sacrifices we make for health

[samherb1]

@SleepIsMagic We are all animals. Man has thrived for millions of years eating animals. Google : "Missing Link ate meat" by Dr. Sears. FYI- Mark Sisson is an author who promotes eating Paleo, so if you don't want to see meat you are watching the wrong guy.

[samherb1]

@SleepIsMagic LMAO!! Most chickens I have encountered don't speak English and what does it matter if I bought it from a market? I buy lots of things at a market.....fruit, vegetables, meat, etc. You didn't even answer the question. What is wrong with eating chicken??

[samherb1]

@SleepIsMagic LOL!! What the hell is wrong with chicken??

[Boromir33]

I can't decide what to eat while trying to lose weight

[filteredglitch]

that is an AWESOME fridge!!  double wide... oh yeahh

[KalifUmestoKalifa]

So two minutes, provided you spent 1 hour on pre-preparations?

Chop everything

cook meat

steam broccoli

roast nuts

----------------

at least 1hour

[Kensbev]

@KalifUmestoKalifa - Or you can buy everything already prepared at the supermarket... That's the only way I ever have a salad, 'cause I'm LAZY! BTW, you steam broccoli for your salads? Weird.

[KalifUmestoKalifa]

@Kensbev or you can go to restaurant. BTW, you can buy cooked meat and steamed broccoli at the supermarket? Dude, there are obviously a lot more perks to NOT living in a 3rd world country than I thought.

[Kensbev]

@KalifUmestoKalifa - You don't eat steamed broccoli on a salad. I've never heard of such a ridiculous thing. Produce sections carry bags of pre-cut veggies--even broccoli. And, of course you can buy cooked meat at the grocery. What planet do you live on? You can buy chunks of cooked chicken or turkey, some stores even carry prepared beef, though you'd prolly want to make sure it's not ground. (Then again, if you're steaming broccoli for salads, that might be your gig.)

[Squabbles10]

Can we eat Raw Butter as Fat ?

[1hardcore]

so with all the cutting and prepping its more than 2 min :)

[Mrfuckyyoumate]

-This is not bs, bc he did say it takes a little preparation time therefore this is considered a 2min salad with preparation time done before hand.

-In this world we need more people like Mark Sisson who believes no one but only things that agree with his own reasons and common sense. (Buddha: Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

-Not every scientific research should be trusted.

[121212steve]

everything was prepped in advance, how is it this 2 minutes???

[LuniaVideo]

@121212steve Fine, call it the 5 minute salad. Regardless, nobody is that busy that they can't take 10 minutes out of their day to make a damn salad.

[corwin1968]

I love Mark's stuff but really can't figure out if he's a well organized and supported blogger or just an on-the-sly spokesperson for some organization.

On another note, I bet that kitchen cost more than my car!!

[sandyabernathy]

This Diet is perfect for Diabetics. Grains, pasta's, potatoes, rice, all that stuff quickly turns in the diabetic and becomes inflamatory. Eating Protiens, lots of Veggies, and fruits, and a hand full of seeds is the way to eat!

[SamsonGuest]

@truthmeister52 just to get that straight. I realy like what mark dos and belive in a lot of what he promotes. just the 2 minut thing with this salad is bs.

[SamsonGuest]

Haha. 2 minute salad.

I'd like him to time the preparation.

big news you can make a salad fast if everything is prepared already^^.

[Catherine8raw]

@SamsonGuest absolutely.... well it took him probably half an hour for the salad stuff prep, and then the barbeque chicken, that was an hour..... and....

[spikespeigel]

haha i have that same salad dressing container :P

[NutriMom]

Where did you find your salad dressing container?

[saucey2427]

It looks like a small French press coffee pot to me. Brilliant!

[toothdocp90x]

I basically got ripped on this type of a diet!  I did have some carbs in the morning though.

[arloj]

Dude, I love your kitchen. Giant refrigerator in the wall, refrigerated desk, great island, restaurant quality grill...

Never afford it in a million years though! :)

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Dude can you please explain to me how high fat diet is conducive to a six pack and overall health? Also, how do you know it's not just your genetics that allow you to have this diet and be fairly lean still?

[propilot1324]

Understand that people are overweight and fat because of their carb intake, which makes you have to pump out insulin to basically combat the carbs. This raise in insulin causes fat to be stored and is why you feel bloated after a high carb meal. Eating a low carb high fat diet like we are supposed to wont cause any insulin rises, and it forces your body to constantly burn fat for energy and never store it. Have you ever heard of "essential carbohydrates"? No, but there's "essential fatty acids"!

[LittleEmoBoy001]

But red meat has more of a insulin response than rice and lentils, yet it is low on carbs. Instead of saying all carbs are bad why not say processed carbs are bad and naturally occurring carbs aren't? You're not gonna tell me all carbs are created equally. Anything that leads to advanced glycation is bad, including meats, sugars, carbs and so on and so forth.

[propilot1324]

Well obviously processed carbs are horrible on your body, and yes you do need some carbs, but understand that it should be a small part of your overall caloric intake, about 100 grams to150grams a day, and should come mainly from vegetables. If you think you need a little more of a carb boost for exercise, stick with what you were saying, naturally occuring, such as bananas, apples, blueberries etc, that's fine.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

That's mostly what I do, but I think the best approach is just sticking to low GI foods so you don't get a insulin spike and a case of too much hemaglobin glycation.

[OvoPiano]

low GI foods might still have an high insulin response and although they might be considered low GI your body might react differently to them.

Remember that white refined pasta is definitely low on the GI

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Where do you get that white pasta is low GI? Every single respectable list I have seen has it on the High GI category.

[OvoPiano]

mendosa website has the best GI and GL list.

Fettuccine is 32 (low) Fusilli is 51 (low) Linguine is 43 (low) Ravioli is 39 (low) Spaghetti is 42 (low) Tagliatelle is 46 (low) Vermicelli is 35 (low) Macaroni is 45 (low) Cappellini is 45 (low) Instant Noodles is 47 (low). Brown rice is way worse at 68 (high)

[OvoPiano]

the body is meant to burn body fat at rest, at night and in between meals and burn glucose for the brain activity by leaving circulating sugar in the blood and for short bouts of intense activity. When your diet is too high in carb your body learn to rely on carb all the time, the little circulating blood sugar you have gets consumed quikly and you're spacey, hungry and confused just few hours after a meal while the excess carbohydrates are converted to body fat.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

It isn't just carbs, it is refined carbs and sugar that do this. Carbs from foods like oatmeal, vegetables, nuts and legumes do not seem to cause an insulin spike the way that refined carbs do. Hence why diabetics eat these foods more than pastas, rice and breads.

[OvoPiano]

it depends how sensitive your body is to carbs.

Old fashioned slow cooking oats scored the highest among the food that spike my blood sugar. Oat, banana and rice spike my blood sugar more than white sugar straight from the packet. But it's also a matter of total amont, remember that according to GI studies even a lot of a low GI food can create a sugar load and spike your blood sugar. That's why they invented the Glycemic Load other than the Glycemic Index

[LittleEmoBoy001]

It is possible the oatmeal that spiked your blood sugar was tainted with traces of wheat and that this may have been partly to blame. Have you tried the organic kind? And are you aware that low carb foods can also raise blood glucose levels? Examples are red meat, various kinds of dairy (galactose) and some high fat foods. I am guessing there are many years between you and I so our experiences are much different. I am not even 20 yet.

[OvoPiano]

I'm younger than you are and have been interested in nutrition since I was 11 :-)

I'm pretty sure the aotmeal was to blame because it was organic and safe for celiac people, besides wheat doesn't raise my blood sugar (i.e. seitan, pure wheat protein) oatmeal also doesn't have a low GI (cooking increases GI) Red meat doesn't raise my blood sugar but raises my insulin because insulin is needed to transport the amino acid in the cells. Milk raises my blood sugar but cheese don't.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

I've been a strict vegetarian since about the age of 13 so almost 6 years now. Constructing a diet can be difficult but you have to also approach without ideology. The reason I don't eat meat is cause it raises insulin growth factor levels as you get older and I don't want that. There is also sufficient evidence that high protein diets aren't the best thing for guys cause you can get hormone imbalances in your 20s and beyond. I think the best diet is low carb vegetarian with little or no dairy.

[OvoPiano]

such diet would never work for me and my blood tests show that my diet is working for them but definitely each person must follow the diet that best suits him and we're all different. Only meat that have been overcooked and burned contain glycation end products but meat per se doesn't. IGF is raised more by starches and grains than meat but again if a vegetarian diet works for you you're doing the right thing following it, if it isn't broke don't fix it. There's no universal best diet.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

No, you are wrong, ALL cooked meat contains advanced glycation end products. But of course the more cooked the more AGEs it will have. But make no mistake that ALL cooked meat does contain it way more than cooked vegetables. They are called exogenous AGEs anytime you heat up meat the enzymes and molecules form these. IGF-1 is NOT raised more by grains than meat. Google 'vegetarian diets lower IGF-1 and you will see you just made that shit up just now to suit yourself.

[OvoPiano]

AGEs in contained in far greater amount of cooked and baked starches. IGF-1 is raised expecially by high blood sugar and starches, which is why Lorein Cordain noticed such a strong link between high IGF-1 and acne on western populations than ate lot of bread and pasta and such low IGF-1 levels on those eating an hunter-gatherer diet high in meat (but with no processed foods)

[LittleEmoBoy001]

There are HUMAN studies that show vegetarian subjects have lower incidences of IGF-1 uptake than meat eaters dumb ass! That is not just epidemiological it is direct correlation so get off that semantical trip in order to justify your obviously ideological position. And the link was between inflammation and acne. IGF-1 is implicated in diabetes, but I haven't even gotten into DHT yet and the advanced risks it causes of prostate cancer. What raises DHT in aging men ? hmm meat eating duh!

[LittleEmoBoy001]

AGEs are not found in greater amounts in cooked starches They are found equally in high carb foods AND cooked meats. Look at the average amount of exogenous AGEs in cooked beef for example. 30% of which is sent directly to your blood stream. This is why meat raises insulin in some people. I'm not sure if the same applies to white meat but it doesn't matter because methionine is an issue with those anyway. Of course even if protein is the culprit low protein diet is impossible while eating meat.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

I don't care what 'Lorein Cordain noticed'. I blogger saying some shit and scientific studies are two completely fucking different things. Stop having a loose definition of science and start realizing studies are studies and are to be trusted more than some fuckin opinionated blogger or who-ever. And wtf does saying the word 'epidemiological' have to do with the validity of a study? Of course it is epidemiologocal, it is a study of health and nutrition, duh! wtf else would it be?

[LittleEmoBoy001]

And regarding your pathetic assertion that cooked starches have more AGEs than meat.

A boiled potato has 0.17 gs AGEs.

A serving of cooked chicken has 61.22 gs AGEs

A serving of Bacon has 90.22 gs AGEs

A serving of beef has 54.17 gs AGEs

A serving whole grain bread has 1.10 gs AGEs

A serving of beans has 2.9 AGEs

Bottom line, you are full of shit and need to stop spewing this bullshit.

[Catherine8raw]

@OvoPiano IGF-1 is very high in milk and milk encourages acne.

[Catherine8raw]

@LittleEmoBoy001 yes and cooked meat encourages leukocytosis. Where do you get all your interesting information from. What do you think of a cooked vegetable and potato diet?

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Sorry to have to sound this way, but there are studies showing that vegetarianism lowers IGF-1 activation and that meat consumption raises it. There is also correlative evidence that meat eating speeds up the build up of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) which is implicated in several forms of cancer, the most noteworthy being prostate. Don't make stuff up, facts are facts.

[OvoPiano]

no, the studies you're talking about are epidemiological and they didn't even control for other dietary factors. For example most studies on saturated fats and the link with heart disease used hydrogenated saturated fats. Epidemiological studies are a bit useless and no "direct" causative link between meat and cancer has ever been proven.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

And the reason I think this is because protein causes build up of amino acid methionine which is implicated in diseases. So moderate protein is the best way to go I think. You know what advanced glycation end products are? Meat raises those also, in addition to dairy. Vegetables, legumes, nuts and berries do not.
