For The Fans: My Diet Secrets pt. 1

[da1on2]

I'd rather die then never have pizza again.

[Netta2]

Thank you so much, I needed to hear this!

[MistaMandalay]

My daily diet: 3-6 eggs, 2-3 turkey sausage links, 5-7 yogurt cups (Carbmaster at Ralph's is great), 2 big turkey sausages with some vegetables, half a pack of deli meat, a little cheese, milk, and sometimes two chicken breasts from El Pollo Loco... I work out high intensity for 15 minutes a day and have seen huge results in 2 months... A high protein, low carb diet, is great with exercise/weight lifting... I aim for 150 grams of protein a day and am in the best shape of my life at 28 y/o...

I usually don't take notes in classes.. And this is just so freakin ironic where I actually decide to take notes on ur knowledge about being healthy.. Ur ridiculously amazing with everything you put on youtube and with ur aapproach stuff. I just love them so much!

[Queencess11223]

Hi! I just started watching your vids. today and I just wanted to know how I could eat healthier and stuff but it's hard because my parents take us grocery shopping and let us buy anything we want. So how can I convince my parents it's healthy to eat healthy and how do I start? Cuz when I get to the grocery store, I just panic and don't know what I can get to eat...BTW I can't eat pork/ham. Thank-you!

[Awaitingcertainty]

Elhnad is so right. God is not stupid. Eat real food. Till you can totally transition to grassfed beef (bison in the stores is probably grass fed and by Federal law they can't be given antibiotics, etc!), eating fast food hamburgers (including cheese and bacon!) is OK if you don't eat the bun, tho the cattle are raised in truly scandalous conditions. But no fries, no sodas, and nothing with sugar. These all spike insulin.

Eric seems to eat like Mark Sisson who is great! Primal Blueprint

[elhnad]

Pls post where you grab your info from, for people who want further education. To anybody who's viewing, I've spent 2 years comparing different types of diets for many hours a day, and my findings confirm almost all (90%) he's saying.

The simplest argument: is God stupid? NO! So why blame his foods like beef, egg yolks, butter as being bad. Man IS stupid tho. That's why cereals, refined flours, sugars, chemical additives and other fake foods are disease producing. Stop dieting. eat real food

[4fcuk]

I stumbled across your videos looking for voice lessons. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time you've spent to help people with their voice/singing. I was really surprised and impressed to see as well the many health related videos you have put on here.

I am 38 years old and have maybe been singing for about seven years and I find that a lot of what your saying is just what I needed to hear at this stage... before I dont have a voice left.

Thanks for your help

[bigbearjohn]

I am so amazed at how level headed you are. You remind me of spiritual leaders I have known (no joke). You are such a positive person. Wish I knew 500 more people like you. I'm so glad there still are people like you on this planet. You are a CONTRIBUTOR. I am very proud of you. I am 60 years old and I am humbled by you. Please keep up your good work. You rock my world!

[RoAnDangeroUs89]

[asaroba]

[christiane600]

yea most peope don't do a lot of research of the food they eat;do you eat the soaked yam raw witht the butter?and coconut oil is also great for cooking.thanks for the website you gave ,very interesting info..

[bellabecka2You]

Also Pure Olive Oil is good for you too!

[xmen4ever8290]

I have to thank you for giving this away, I was diagnosed with diabetes and I think you doing this will really help me in the future.

[EngiNierman]

As i was watching this i thought, "I should start eating more healthy foods." Ten minutes later, I'm eating peppermint ice cream.

[0000duda]

but like you say theres a spike some times i notice that specialy with my "abs" part i feel like a baloom some times after dinner thats anoying when u get in the gymn and come home u eat the dinner and BOoOM got the BaloooM! x))lol anyway with breakfast and stuff lunch etc.i can eat what i can an i dont eat bread, juice, etc..the point is.. even if i eat less or not every part of the food she make to me i'll be ruining all my work at the gymn because of that? guess many ppl my age got this prob

[0000duda]

thats a nice video dude..keep posting.

so theres my point...when you're student living with your parents, at least with me, many times i say "mom buy this ...buy that..thats good for me to help me get heigh loss..." prob is many times se say me "i'll not change my "food" because u want lose like 5kg or something. Well i understand that but as u can see thats hard run away from some shity kind of aliments because at least dinner and stuff i have to eat what she make! i try to eat less

[OmazenBangs]

When you are not cooking and you go to an upscale fine dining restaurant, what do you usually order or do you choose not to eat out period?

[OmazenBangs]

I finally checked out the diet plan... you gave me more information about nutrition than my trainer did. Good deal.

[tzamora09]

Thank you for sharing with us. You have such a big heart! God is really working with you!

[lloyd614]

Grrrrrrreat advice on both Fitness and Nutrition videos, E!

[CurlyKei]

Its reeli great that your're posting these vids, theres always improvements to be made lol

[feawguita]

Thank you, you encouraged me to keep researching on this topic. I'm also researching all about teas. Green tea is the drink for me right now. Great vid : )

[BlueScirocco]

you are such a great person, so mature and intelligent and you always want to share your good experiences with others and that's so gentle of you! I admired that from the first moment I heard you talking about singin and your way of explaining things, always very quiet and to the point. You are dead ass cool - Cheers from Germany - you led me to singing

[phoeneous]

Banshee pride!  I own an '08 grey Scirocco!

[saonai]

i think your right, i just did a diet, but instead of loosing i gained 5 kgz! not good!

[bigglebumx]

Thank you so much Eric! I can't wait to try out your advice and look forward to any other videos you might do on this topic. Speaking as a person with numerous health problems that I'm recently finding very difficult to live with (these are all as a result of side effects from my immuno-surpressants medication for a past transplant....and stress probably, i admit!), I find this extremely helpful and kind of you, as i'm sure many other people will. :D

[Jeniferw1n]

Thank you for addressing the meat issues in America, not many people talk about that when speaking on a healthy diet, and its so important to have 'quality' food. I wish the world would stop messing with our food! It makes it so hard, the only way around it seems to be to do it all yourself like the days of old.

[ManuRangiRoa]

aye kia ora bro ima try wat u say.. iv bin fat like from collage/high school and im 21 now and itz time for me to live life... so ima try to do wat u say aye.. thankz heapz... ill et u knw how it goes aye...

[ladefizz]

Life is hard =(

I love food, and all the ones we have to cut out are the ones that taste the best :(

I don't even know where to start :(

[cbbafool]

Do you still eat at Zea...lol

[Skipperchris]

YOU DA MAN ERIC!

[lacarneinflamare]

I consume a lot of brown rice, which is according to common knowledge, also very good for skin and weight loss.....but how about apples, bananas, granat apples etc.?

[graycious3]

thank you for this video

[hakis86]

Great video Eric - i'm starting NOW! Can't wait for more tips and info about diet. Also workout sound good.

[eveforever90]

[gabannaania174]

Maybe you should post some healthy recipes that taste good and is good for your health.

[VickayyD]

i have horrible acne, i'll be trying your green tea trick. :)

thanks for posting this

[Adikism]

I don't eat fast food, but I'm a sucker for a Chick-Fil-A every other month. I can't believe I started watching this vid while I was eating grits and pancakes. I haven't had either in over a year, but this morning I had a relapse.

[phoeneous]

Chicken, eggs, oats

[royale67]

In which video do we see his pics as an overweight kid? thanks

[EricArceneaux]

LOL.  In my vid "For The Fans: Q & A"

[royale67]

lol haha awesome, thanks for replying, and your tips really improved my singing voice.

[pinkangle777]

thx

[waliuxD]

lol i have the same diet

[alixinthemiddle]

i would have sworn you a vegetarian. HELL YEAH, TAKE THAT VEGANS! WE GOT THIS SMEXY BITCH ON THE MEAT-EATER SIDE!!!

win.

[jarico05]

Hey Eric thanks for posting this video cause I  have issues with the restaurant food but I have come to realize that those places are death and clogged arteries wrapped in compelling packages. Those foods taste to good when you think about it because they put so much artificial stuff in it you can't tell if you are eating a sandwich or something produced in a lab. So thanks for giving us a basis to go on :)

[lela3132]

Well , i agree with you ! i do visit a Brazilian nutritionist every other week and i`m losing 1 pound a day, shes is the best, her name is Ana Paula , she is really really good, trust me, you can call for and make appointment (978)538-1313 are locate Peabody MA! she have a web site call APOS, many people a losing weight in the Health way!

[chilyn95]

I agree!! I eat pretty well lots of different fruits and vegetables even those things that I don't normally eat, I do from time to time eat fast food mostly french fries (when I do eat it) and I work out 3 to 4 days a week for about 30 to 45minutes as well and I'm 6'0, 184 pds always!!!! People always ask how much I work out and it's simple for me not a task anymore but I do need to let go of the DAIRY because I love, love cheese. And your right the skin doesn't lie!!

[thaibasil78]

I just checked out your blogsite. Thank you for the informative links. :)

[Mslhking]

You are really a great help. I appreciate all that you do.

[jblang09]

its pizza consider bad for u....i need help...what r some good things to eat for lunch?

[forbidd3njtshow]

green tea kills sperms

[Kelvin702]

I workout almost everyday, 6 times a week avg. I love p90x lol. I'm on week done with week 2 starting on week 3. I already eat every 2-4hrs on avg, besides sleep time.

On a quick note I do feel stronger, faster and more fit ever since i started. My results aren't showing super fast but I know i'll get there ^_^

My question is how many grams of protein should i have in my daily diet if I want to gain lean mass without much fat?

I weigh 135.

[jvardon2000]

a gram for every pound you weigh.

[spooner1957]

no idea about the butter being good, thank you so much!

[celtstyr]

As a japanese major I have to comment that match isn't really a japanese word. The "t" is a mistake a canadian company made when translating their green tea brand. To make it short and simple it should look like this in english "maccha" and pronounced "ma" small pause "cha" the double "c" represents the pause.

[KarynaCruz]

Arizona iced tea is about as good for you as soda. It has high fructose corn syrup in it, which is really bad. Water is your best bet! Drink as much as you can get. Plain unsweetened tea is okay...herbal or green tea are good choices.

[DanielBonaireMusic]

Awesome video Eric!!

..We are what we eat..so true!!

[JekyllAndHydeEffect]

Thanks a lot man.

[Alphacat]

lol most people who work out know 4-5 times a week is about the max you show work out your body anyway. "i don't work out that much" boy! stop fishing for compliments lol you know that's above average. :) lol

[EricArceneaux]

LMAO!!!

[Unsignedmusic91]

thanks man

[lisalavie1]

You're like "I only work out 4 or 5 time a week".

That's Ummmm a lot. lol

[EricArceneaux]

LOL!!!! It's not that much. It's a just a lil 30min workout. I often do it at home.

[lordovil]

I'm so tired of people saying this is bad for you and this is bad for you...we might as well not eat anything!!

[EricArceneaux]

hey hey hey... it's not that major. Unfortunately, due to good ol' fashioned greed, companies have been stripping our food of nutrients(they last longer on shelves that way, and they're cheaper to make). It's pretty simple... eat actual food and not the super chemical stuff with the hundreds of ingredients on the back that end in "-ite", "-ate", and "-oxide". lol. Don't cop out... it's really not that difficult.

[EricArceneaux]

You have to take responsibility for your own health. History has proven REPEATEDLY that corporations have one primary concern - MONEY... not the consumer's health. They will sell u poison, if they can be sure that you'll continue to pay for it.  And in many cases, as with hydrogenated oils, that's EXACTLY what they do. It's easier to say, "Oh, it's all too much. I'll just eat what I want." But it's a cop out. I just decided for me, I was tired of being sick, lethargic, and overweight.

[THEMOVIE90]

so what do we do with the cod liver oil?? do we drink it?

[EricArceneaux]

You take a spoonful or two each day(depends on the brand), with a meal.

[RoadKill700]

I cannot stand most fast foods anyway :) So that is easy....thank you again Eric ;)

[amee1430]

oh eric i think... scratch that.. i KNOW you are hot...

[tam705618]

[tuggietugg]

So Chinese Food is a No No?

[EmmaWismyhero]

i lost 15 pounds cutting the chinese, but i love it.

if you gain mucle your metabolism increases, so you can handle a little more chinese :)

[sexymodelboy]

Ain't nuthin' wrong with Subway LOL And Cod Liver Oil is a necessity for black folks in colder climates. I buy Carlson's Norwegian lemon flavor from the Vitamin Shoppe.

[richgfj21]

Thanks Eric for the info. I know your a busy guy. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to do this. It really helps.

[supermaucat]

Thanks! Hope to see links soon :)

[EndOfTheNight1]

-Cameron

[icsk8grrl]

YES! yams made the cut!

this is great, and I never would have thought about cod liver oil if not for your mentioning it. I've completely avoided it since childhood because in the "Calvin & Hobbes" comic, it was always a "punishment" liquid.

can't wait for part 2!

[RikkarudoGarcia]

<3 Man

btw, the let me be your lover song is stuck in my head!!! xD

[Mayuko75]

Yeah Green Tea is good for your health.

I always drink it too.

[xdarkxxsoilx]

hmmm im not fat, neither am i out of shape, but i eat pretty poor quality food, i always find my self saying yeh im going to start to eat well so starting is easy (and for the record i do =P), but do you have any advice on sticking to eating a healthy diet?

[234567y356831693gree]
