 Hello, hope you're well. Welcome back to my channel. My name is Frank. It's a pleasure to have you here with me and today we are going to do a day of eating basically healthy organic grass-fed high-quality foods and some of you think I'm just trolling right now to get the other carnivores to deviate from their diets to kind of prove that everyone copies Frank DeFano and Hey, maybe some of you are right. Maybe some of you are wrong. I guess we'll find out in the long term, right? So we're gonna do like a first meal pretty healthy pretty clean by modern standards Basically going to be you know clean meat clean starch carbohydrates, perhaps some fruit something a little Chlorically dense and then the second meal we're gonna go You know a little on the edge in regards to like food quality and cheating a little bit Maybe we'll have some cheeseburgers. We'll see but let's get started with this first meal and prepare some rice So rice is something I've only added in the past two or three weeks. I've been cooking Organic white basmati rice. This takes like 30 45 minutes to do So I actually ordered a rice cooker that hasn't come yet Before that we were doing mostly pasta just organic wheat pasta. I actually even bought I don't know if I have it up here. Yeah, I do I bought some organic frozen rice, which probably isn't that great because The water they use and you know, it's packaged in plastic But honestly, you know making this rice for 40 minutes every day I was a little you know out of it because I had to basically wait an hour an hour and a half to eat so I just throw this frozen rice in the pan for maybe 10 minutes and it warms up and This is what I'm going to be doing until I get this rice cooker in a day or two because honestly, this is this is too much You have to you have to put like a cup of rice in here with two or three cups of water. Bring it to a boil Cover it reduce it to a simmer Monitor it make sure the water is it's basically got to be at the stove for 45 minutes to an hour to to make the Rice properly and it's just not worth it at least from a time investment perspective I was also doing some potatoes the pasta was a bit easier But I noticed that the rice was a tiny bit better on my stomach. So that's what I've been doing We have some ground beef from Frankie's free-range meat Actually on sale for very low price. So we have 93 7 and 85 15 available for $6 a pound. This is actually 93 7. I've been sticking to the leaner meat lately. This is really simple I'm just gonna put some water in the pan here filter reverse osmosis I got a bunch of fats I can choose from I usually I put a tablespoon or two of fat in this They use the coconut oil today. So this whole bag of rice is 840 calories and If I put a lot of fat in it like I usually do I Can almost finish the bag. So this is like a little too much for one meal But not enough for two meals. So it's not ideal And then I got rice over half my kitchen So we're just gonna cover this on a medium-high heat and that should take about 10 minutes to be good So recently I've been doing about a pound of beef per day and actually smash burgers, but for this meal I think we're just gonna Poach it in the pan lightly just kind of warm it through so I'll take half of this one pound container You guys could see this 93 7 stuff is really lean So I'll get about half of that in the pan a little bit of salt on it Now with the rest of the ground beef, I'll actually get my burgers ready for later So I just want to kind of form something into a ball press it a little bit And then when we let that sit for a couple hours, it'll it'll cook and brown up a lot nicer But our burgers ready for later. I'm just gonna season them both sides with salt if you don't plan on eating for like Five six seven hours, and it's a summertime you might want to put those burgers in the fridge Now depending on what my body is craving that'll determine how much I cook the meat and lately It's you know winter. It's cold. So I I want more cooked food So you know normally where I would stop here where there's still some like raw bits and pieces in the ground beef We'll actually kind of cook this a little bit more almost all the way through from an oxidation digestion and nutrient perspective You want to cook it through, but you don't want to keep cooking it So as soon as the meat is is completely cooked and heated That's when you want to stop that'll still preserve pretty much all the nutrients if you do it on like Medium a medium low heat. You're good to go But if you start like hard searing the the ground beef and you leave in the pan for you know 10 15 minutes It will be a lot harder to digest you will degrade the proteins more and the beef items more So this is where we want it There's still a tiny bit of pink in here, but the residual heat from the pan will We'll cook the rest of this beef through so our rice is kind of melting I'm gonna put a bit of salt in here. That was probably way too much now This rice is cooked already. So as soon as it's Kind of thawed out. It's done. You don't have to cook it more. So this probably needs like two or three more minutes I think for this meal We'll have some apple cider from a local farm Maybe we'll have some of those grapes as well so this cider I'm gonna use to wash down a bunch of different types of digestive enzymes and Possibly some antimicrobials. I guess you could say my diet has been consistently inconsistent over the past few months Yes, the beef has been the main protein source in my diet the whole time But carbohydrates. I've really been switching around at first. I was having a lot of pasta Sometimes some like boiled white potatoes. Then I started eating some french fries and pasta And doing different preparations on the potatoes and on the pasta and then I started doing rice just in the past few weeks Occasionally, I'll have some high quality bread here and there I was even doing tortilla chips a little bit at the start. I was having Organic wheat tortillas and some organic corn tortillas I'll actually show you guys that I haven't had it recently because I haven't been craving it or wanting it But I was doing that you guys are gonna make fun of me because I was eating a little bit of hummus for some calories Which you know, it tastes okay. It wasn't bad. It it works with my stomach And this is an example of the tortillas. So organic corn tortillas These are probably actually going to go bad if I don't eat them soon and these are a slightly better quality But they're in the frozen section the the sprouted corn tortillas. We've got our lightly cooked lean beef So what I'll do is I'll save this rice for the next time I make another bag of this and I'll have half of this with the first meal and then The rest with the second meal to finish off that second bag from a macronutrient perspective. We have plenty of caloric energy We have protein from the beef Carbs from the rice and we added plenty of rendered fat to increase the caloric amount Maybe two tablespoons in the rice and one tablespoon in the beef From the micronutrient perspective, we have a lot of b vitamins A lot of bioavailable minerals and I have to brush up on the mineral profile of rice I'm assuming it's just a decent amount of potassium. So really kind of just starts here. Let's get started and then Halfway through the meal. I'm going to go Take those antimicrobials and drink like a cup or two of the cider I'm not going to show you guys that uh sometime in the future. I might go over that This is a little dry. So let me get something to drink Now I've been switching between like organic juice from Whole Foods Cider from a local farm. I used to even juice some apples and pears and stuff myself Just from like A caloric standpoint And a craving standpoint I've always had to have like a decent amount of sugar in the meal and that has more to do with The body's digestive capability, you know, if you give your body protein and starch It has to break down protein into amino acids and the starch and carbohydrates But If you drink something like juice, it has fructose glucose sucrose that are processed in different metabolic pathways So by adding something like juice or fruit to a meal You're not adding that much extra stress to digestion from a taste perspective I've always done this bodybuilding stuff. So even just like Some salt on some beef and rice tastes pretty good to me Now we're a little further into the meal than You could do this at but you want to make sure to get The enzymes Whatever supplements you're taking kind of in your stomach and churning with the food Because if you take all of them after the meal or like 10 15 minutes after the meal They're just going to sit on top and it's not going to be as efficient. So Let me go take those enzymes right now And they will finish the meal You know, ever since I've had the health issues since february of 2018 with the iron overload the liver dysfunction digestive issues I've had to take varying amounts of Antimicrobials digestive enzymes to basically digest my food and not get bacterial overgrowth like candida and cebo It's been on and off and I could have probably just Avoided all of that stuff if I wasn't bodybuilding and if my food volume was lower, but maybe not You know, it depends it's it's week to week I mean, I would hope after like a year or a year and a half of Supplementing copper or supplementing magnesium Getting my nutrients and balance that things will go back to normal, but I guess we'll have to find out I mean, I could eat a little more, but You know, as I've always said Try to eat to the point. You're comfortable. So I'm actually not going to have any grapes Sometimes what I'll do and this is probably every other meal is my snack and my like Thing I have with my meal will just be the juice So, you know, sometimes I'll have fruit with it. Sometimes I'll have cookies Sometimes I'll have some chocolate to add some extra calories About half the time it'll just be like organic fruit juice If any of you guys off the top of your head know if these Milk containers contain like BPA. I'm assuming they do and the reason I'm asking is because If we start selling milk on Frankie syringe meat and dairy products Um, the glass half gallon containers are like a dollar 75 to two dollars each So, you know, if we sell milk in plastic We can charge like four dollars for half a gallon or three 75 But if we put the milk in glass, we're gonna have to charge something like seven bucks for it. So Let me know I would definitely rather not compromise the integrity of the product, you know, if There's any concern with the plastic. We will absolutely sell it in glass and we'll just have to say, hey You know, that's how it is if you want to save money and buy plastic then you Probably shouldn't be buying raw milk. So this is just local organic apple cider It certainly tastes a lot better than you know, even biogenetic apple juice or Whatever juice you get from the supermarket. I mean in general from like we've got microbiome perspective drinking Sugary juices is probably one of the worst things you could do potentially So you want to be careful and understand like the sugar profile of it Know what you're doing from that perspective Now I don't count calories. I just eat the appetite if I'd have to guess that meal was probably 12 13 1400 calories So it's by no means a small meal now my schedule has been off these past few days So I've only been having one meal but today I definitely want to show you guys two just to kind of Throw some food variety in there and and definitely show you guys a couple of other things that I have in my pantry Which we could actually go do now. So we actually got quite a bit of stuff to look at here I have some coconut oil that I've been using because it has anti-microbial properties Just you know regular sea salt. We have some natures glucose line around here That I use as a sweetener mainly in the cookies I've been making recently That's why I have Organic semi-sweet chocolate chips. This is Cacao with sugar and vanilla. They they taste pretty good and I enjoy making The cookies with them as opposed to regular cacao Here's some leftover apples from the Thanksgiving recipe For the apple pie what I might actually do is I might take these with like Some raw grass-fed butter and some salt and some natures glucose and I might just make like A pie filling I can eat myself There's some raisins. I don't know. I saw raisins and I was like, hey, these are No, these are kind of healthy kind of okay Organic decent source of calories, you know easy to eat nice snack on the go Some more natures glucose In here we have more white rice at the bottom some brown rice that you guys saw on the last day of eating These are potatoes. I gotta make these. I think these are gonna Go bad soon. So later we'll save that as a surprise for later That's some of the pasta I've been eating A couple containers of beef broth just sometimes I'll cook the rice or the Potatoes and beef broth and I don't know if we'll have this later. I think we're gonna have cookies later So I might as well show you guys Maybe I'll have chocolate on occasion You know, I was I was actually doing much more chocolate a few months ago Now I prefer snacks and these are like crack These cocoa melts coconut milk caramel. It's like basically raw cacao and sugar, which is you know The ingredient list isn't completely horrible. You know, everything's organic. There's not too many additives and They're really really tasty and delicious and most importantly, you know, I feel pretty good after eating them. I actually bought This box and then another another box of them because I like them so much but I actually I only had these like One day and that was basically it mostly the chocolate chip cookies, which you guys will see later now one day I was craving some English muffins. So I actually I bought two packages of English muffins and I only ate like two with some raw butter So maybe my family will have those. I've been doing onions on occasion. Maybe we'll do some later We got the organic lemons. I gotta get some vitamin C in sometime this week I mean, I've been messing around with some different stuff for recipes Like I was making water kefir with some molasses. I have some cane sugar some coconut sugar I think down in here. It's just some cannellini beans and some sweetened condensed milk that I was having Yeah, so I had a few cans of sweetened condensed milk. I was going through which I really like and uh Some cannellini beans, which I only had once and here I have Mainly flour, which I'm using to make cookies We have some rice puffs that I used once to make those granola bars more flowers Some more rice. Uh, this is an oil I didn't talk about last week in my top cooking fats video raw macadamia nut oil Now on paper organic macadamia nut oil looks like one of the best possible oils you can consume In reality, you don't want to cook it because it will oxidize very quickly The material procurement is questionable with macadamia nuts being so expensive and you have to pay out your butt for this oil You know, we're the nuts moldy. How are they doing this? So And the taste is very pungent So there's a lot of cons of the macadamia nut oil I bought it. I haven't really been using it. You guys could try it out. I would definitely not cook with it Maybe we can do a separate video on like healthy fats that you can consume That aren't good for cooking. You know, like olive oil macadamia nut oil Certain seed oils and nut oils are actually okay to consume, but you would never never never Want to cook with them. I mean just in general, you know, there's so much stuff I probably haven't showed you guys that I've been doing and you know, when you've been studying and practicing nutrition for Basically 10 years now It's difficult because there's a lot of stuff that I take for granted that, you know I kind of understand its face value and people can't really figure out why I'm doing certain things So hopefully over the next few months, I can clarify some of that stuff for you guys and and maybe even incorporate it into my next book, but We're gonna go work out Maybe do some work for a couple hours on the computer and then We'll come down and we'll cook our second meal and I know I've hinted at it several times But a lot of this stuff I'm doing is kind of new, you know, I'll come up with New food choices and things I figure out. I can tolerate two or three times a month So a lot of this stuff you see I have in my pantry. You see I'm talking about Maybe I did it once or twice or three times incrementally over the past few months and As I discover more and more see what I want to incorporate into my diet Certain things are going to be staples that will stay and certain things. I'll just have once in a while If you guys didn't think I was trolling for the first meal, you'll probably think I'm trolling now So we're going to have white castle style burgers, which is just going to be onions and cheese on a bun And we're going to have some crinkle cut fries And some cookies that I made Now The cleaner version of this that I was doing, you know a couple weeks ago Was ground beef sauteed with onion and then I would have like pasta on the side and maybe some sourdough bread These past two weeks. I've been a little bit like lackadaisical about it and Normally I make the french fries myself and they do taste a lot better But I saw these at Whole Foods and I was being lazy and I decided to try them out And I have a couple bags left the ingredients aren't too bad. It's organic potatoes organic safflower oil apple juice sea salt citric acid, so you know the omega Sixth content of safflower oil isn't actually that bad So, you know for not having to spend half an hour making Potato fries, this is okay for now. I just take half the bag We'll put it on a sheet tray in the oven at like 425 for Maybe uh, maybe they take 20 minutes to warm up. I'll get that started the diet's making me weak I can't open bags anymore without scissors So those fries are nice because you just put the oven on like 400 500 whatever They're done in 10 15 minutes great for kids great for something quick for the burgers You guys are probably curious about what's in these burger buns. There's a lot of ingredients wheat flour water wheat gluten cane sugar yeast organic canola oil It's not horrible. It's not completely horrible. The main reason that these are okay Once in a while is because they don't add iron filings. It's not a fortified wheat flour That's that's the main thing if you ever see like fortified wheat flour with iron in it Don't eat it. You'll get really really sick Damages your liver that type of stuff. So we're gonna have two of these buns. Hopefully in the future I'll I'll start making these myself Because I do really I do really enjoy this and I like the way the burger tastes So we have the burger patties that we Formed earlier with a little salt on them. We have our burger buns So this is half of an organic Spanish onion. I used the other half yesterday We're just going to dice this up and then after we sear the burgers in the pan We'll deglaze it with some stock put the onions in there and and soften them up a little bit For the cheese. I'm just going to slice some gruyere from frankie syringe meat We'll try to get like two thin slices out of it So the key to these smash burgers is that the pan is ripping hot even stainless steel It shouldn't stick if we do this right. Okay, so we got our burgers two slices of gruyere onions and burger patties So now that this pan is stupidly stupidly hot. It's smoking We're going to take our burger And be really careful with this because the oil is going to really start splattering And we're going to press it down Same thing with the other burger Press it down and we gotta Cover this because there's just too much oil splattering now after about 45 seconds to a minute We want to flip these And you could make the burger a little thicker if you want to go rare But usually these come out pretty pretty cooked So you really want to get under there and scrape up the brown so that's kind of what you're looking for and It's kind of hard to do this with a stainless steel pan and We're probably not going to get this crust on both sides because we don't want to completely kill the meat, but That's what most fast food restaurants do They'll they'll leave it on this side for like another two or three minutes to get that Brown crust on both sides, but from a flavor perspective You only need it on one side and we can preserve more of the nutrients We have our buns ready to receive our meat. That one looks really good It looks pretty good too. What you can do is actually you can scrape up that piece of Crusted beef and then put it on the spot that it's missing. It's just some beef broth You could also use water our onions And ideally what you could do is you could saute the onions a little bit in the grease and then You could put the broth in and deglaze if you want to just get a little more color on the onions So while these onions cook we're going to take our gruyere On the burgers and pop these in the oven with the fries Fries are pretty much ready. We get a little more browning on them But the burger should take about five minutes to melt the gruyere We have really really flavorful delicious onions here because they're going to soak up all that beef caramelization in the pan That we deglaze with the broth just a little bit of salt on the onions So we're gonna take the other side of our burger bun and i'm going to split these onions up evenly Okay, we got our onions on there take the burger put it upside down Take the burger put it upside down I gotta flip it back over two gruyere onion burgers I like cutting these in half. It's a little easier to eat a little pink in the middle, but You know when you do smash burgers, it's it's kind of hard to get a A rare temperature. So everything's ready at the same time It only took me about 15 minutes to make two cheese burgers and have the fries ready But before we eat this meal What I do for my second meal is I have the antimicrobials and the enzymes Before the meal because I already have food in my stomach Only for that first meal of the day. I'll wait till halfway through so I'm going to take those But what actually came was that rice cooker. I told you guys I ordered Zoja Rushi is apparently the best brand of rice cookers We won't do this today next day of eating video You guys will see the rice cooker in action. You guys are curious about the enzymes I did a video probably five six seven months ago now where I explained All the different types of digestive enzymes our body needs And if you watch that video, you can kind of understand what you need to purchase based on what you're eating Speaking of what we're eating from a nutrition perspective, obviously a lot of carbohydrate energy We have the starches here to feed our gut bacteria and it's also broken down into sugars to give our body energy glycogen stores Same with the burger bun really We do have the burger for the protein source and then The cheese adds some extra fat soluble vitamins, especially the Gruyere Some vitamin k2 in there overall the burger is a source of B vitamins and I was thinking about this the other day You know, there's a reason that humans eat burgers and fries a lot I'm sure if you look at the macronutrient breakdown of a typical cheese burger and fry meal It's like 20 protein 80 energy, which is What humans crave and want so Let's shout out You know for a while I've been thinking about doing burger reviews because No one else really does them, but I probably get sick eating all like the fast food and conventional crap Maybe I could try it just once and film a few in one shot I usually don't put this many onions on here, but This is actually a lot better than normal the onions really add to it I have a couple fries And these aren't that great Ones I make myself a lot better, but I'm just a couple bites No, I feel like I feel like this is a healthy white castle You know you feel okay after eating it Not poisoning yourself I think I'll do a A burger bun recipe for you guys soon. Yeah, you could actually put more onions on this I think it'll be even better I'm laughing because Some of you guys are thinking about How come Frank doesn't have acne and he's eating this shit? It has more to do with hydration. So what usually happens with this meal is The first half burger tastes really good The second half burger is like kind of good And that one was like, yeah, it's okay And now I'm like full, but You know, I don't want to let this go to waste One thing that I guess I should have said at the start of this video was You know by going organic you remove a lot of the chemical concerns So As a pretty good rule of thumb if you're buying a product and it's labeled organic Unless it's some like really high omega-6 seed oil It's probably okay to eat. I should only do like a quarter bag of those fries I don't really eat them because I don't taste that good. I'm pretty full, but We got some cookies that are going to go bad. So we'll have a little bit of cookies So over here on my counter. I have cookie dough and Oreo filling cream So this is chocolate chip that I made a couple days back You know, it's got on the counter a couple days and this is an Oreo cream filling That probably doesn't go bad for a couple weeks. I would imagine I actually made Oreo cookies, but I didn't like them. So I'm just eating like the cookie dough chocolate chip with the cream. This is like my secret low inflammatory cookie recipe that I might publish in my book in the future, but I think we did chocolate chip cookies, uh Maybe a year or two ago and this is basically organic flour with natures glucose and Some other secrets I cannot divulge But it's good No baking soda and then I'll take like a bite of cookie With some other cream And this cream was a lot smoother when I whipped it initially. You can make this with just butter confectionary sugar vanilla powder and salt And you whip it up And they actually do have organic confectioners sugar at Whole Foods This is literally Oreo filling I love it. You can try to make it like a Oreo cookie yourself, but They're delicious on their own and together and I just like Craved the calories in this because of the bodybuilding stuff I mean I'm getting a little chubby now I think I still have abs when I'm sitting down though. Now I keep saying I'm getting chubby, but We're still all right Cookies and cream. I mean these are so calorically dense It's like flour sugar and fat It's as calorically dense as the food can get is a cookie Same with this cream. It's pure sugar and fat. Oh my god. Did you know Oreos were vegan? I feel pretty good for some reason I really get knocked out after that first meal more than the last meal And the thing that really knocks me out is if I drink a lot of juice. There's just the sugar Getting absorbed so quickly it really spikes your insulin and that type of stuff So maybe digest for like 20 minutes first then I'll work out.
