 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell. I want to do a video today just taking a look at the online Shufra Sal website and how you can search for foods that are specifically low in fat. So I did a video last week talking about how basically since I had my gallbladder removed two years ago I've been really struggling with a lot of digestive problems. Some people who have the operation are, others seem to just get on with eating normally, but I've had a lot of issues with that and I saw a dietician last week who recommended that I start following or that I adopt a low-fat diet. Now, this is all very very new territory for me. I've never followed not only a specific nutrient diet. I've never followed any kind of a diet really before. So I've been learning over the course of the last week what is low fat. As far as I can tell the answer is 3 grams per 100. So 3% is the cut-off. Below that it's considered to be a low-fat food. Above that it's considered not low-fat. Don't quote me on that. I'm not a nutritionist. But that's a pretty good start for me to just begin buying things at the grocery store. That's what I'm looking for is 3% or less. Now what I discovered, so I just did actually my weekly shopping in Shufra Sal, which is a big grocery chain in Israel. Something I noticed is I think you really want to do this. Do your homework before ideally either do your shopping online or sort of know what products you're looking for and I do like you do my super marketing in a store particularly now because I'm trying to learn how to recognize what are the low-fat products because you get to the dairy counter and there's just like hundreds of yogurts and cheeses and whatnot and it's really helpful if you know what you're looking for. So here's what I'm doing. Might strike some as a bit OTT, but this is what I'm doing anyway. I created this like, you know, folder, my Google Drive, shopping list, my supermarket. What I'm doing is just taking a few screenshots of products I found on their website, Shufra Sal's website, that I know to be low-fat and I'm going to show you how to search for those. And that's really basically my system. I'm just eyeballing these. I'm not sure I'll print it out. I might just have this to go when I'm browsing the aisles. So instead of having to pick up a nutritional label every couple of minutes, I'll just surgically move in on these different products. But what I wanted to show is how you can actually look this up on the Shufra Sal website. It's really, really good. And two things I think I always try to praise Israel for. There are things I criticize Israel for all the time, the cost of living, being kind of absurd. And actually, you see that reflected in the prices here. But one thing, one or two things I think Israel does really well is that the quality of healthcare is consistently excellent. For instance, being able to see a dietitian for free is awesome. Also, they do digitization really, really well, in my opinion. And I think that the Shufra Sal website is just a reflection of that. They've really done a great job, in my opinion, of putting information up there on the internet. For instance, if I search for Dal Shuman, which means low fat, and I want to call up one of these results, let's go for this one. This is the Pastrami BBQ Dal Shuman, the BBQ Pastrami. So I can do a 360 tour. Whoa, there's my Pastrami. I can look at the product labeling. More importantly, from a nutritional perspective, these are the government mandated labels. So this is actually a high sodium label. The Israel Ministry of Health has the interesting online information for anybody interested in knowing what the actual levels are. So as you'd expect from Delhi Mead, it's like not super healthy. It's quite high in sodium. But in any event, you can look up for Shumanim. Shumanim is fat in Hebrew. So this is one gram of fat. And as I mentioned, the cut off for low fat is 3%, as far as I'm aware. So that would be three grams. So one gram in 100 grams is really, really low fat, very, very lean. So that's why it matched for that. So I know this is a low fat product by this company, that I can be on the look out for. And I'm going to actually pick up some more products tomorrow. So that's one way to do it. But another way to do it is to just search for food you want. So let's say I want to go into milk products. And now we're getting a bunch of eggs, as you can see. And just to the right of the screen here, I have all my filters. So I can search by category, by brand. I can search by Allergens here, Lolo, Allerganim, Soya, Shqadim, Betsim, Chalav, different allergies that you can add. Kashrut Pesach, the kosher status is here as well. Kashrut, the different kosher certifications are here as well. But the area I want to draw people's attention to is Achuze Shuman. So this is the fat percentage. And you can see here, we have 0 to 9, 0 to 1, 1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 9, 9 to 15, 15 to 22, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So what I can do is, if I want to click on zero, let's say. So now I've filtered on 0% fat within the dairy category, and it's returned for me 45 different products. So for instance, if I want to put in, go into this Yaplay yogurt, so I can see, okay, Yaplay have a range of these yogurts, they're 150 grams, they're five shackles each in Shufrasal. And these are basically fat-free, Shumanim zero grams. As well as the total fat content, and this is a whole other Nefesh Benefesh have a good video about how to read nutritional labels in Hebrew. They also tend to report the saturated fat content and the trans fat content. I guess they don't, if it's something like yogurt, and if it's already zero. But if you go into the meat category, you'll see Shuman, and I just looked up the vowelization to make sure I have a correct Reva'i, that is saturated fat. And Shuman trans is trans fat, it's just trans in Hebrew, and Shumanim generally is fat. So for instance, so I can look through, there's actually quite a lot of these, quite a lot of options. I've got myself a few yogurts, if I want to have a Greek yogurt, yogurts but ta'am to Reva'i, this product is also 0%. So what I'm doing right now is just kind of a hacky system. I'm just grabbing the product photo and just putting this into my Google document. No particularly sophisticated method, but this to me is a lot better than showing up at the store and reading a bunch of nutritional labels. I know what I can get. So that's, I can also look for let's say 1 to 3%. And now I'm actually, see I have these two filters applied. It's a really great system. So I can even click on, let's do three filters, and I'm getting everything up to and including 3% fat. And I've actually got myself 300 products, including Shufrasal own brand Greek yogurt, which is 0.9% fat with apricot. So you can see, if you're also trying to follow a low fat diet in Israel, and you're comfortable shopping at Shufrasal, you have an online account. They've really done, I think again, a terrific job and making it easy. Let's just go to one more category before I call it a wrap here. If I want to go into, so something I'm trying to figure out at the moment is what can fish I can have, but let's say I wanted to go for just regular fish, right? So Dagiim, I have 110 options at the fish counter, but I also have my trusty, fat content selector. And let me just turn on again, I'm going to do up to and including 3% fat. And now I whittled that down to only four options. I don't know all the fish names in Hebrew. So this is a filet of bacala. So I haven't really bought much fish here, and there are glaring gaps in my Hebrew, as you can tell. Ah, so this is cod. That makes sense. In Portuguese, cod is bacala, random, I think in Spanish as well as bacala. So bacala is maybe that's frozen. Yeah. So that's that's frozen. That's why I haven't really seen it that much. I think this is tapi. Yeah, I'm known. What is I'm known in English, tilapia. So tilapia is an option. That's an option. And so on and so forth. I can go through the whole supermarket virtually without leaving my house, search through all the different product categories and become acquainted with what is available if I'm following a fat restricted diet. So yeah, that's basically what I wanted to show. I think as I said that Shufasal has done a excellent job here and I am going to be doing videos soon, testing out all these different foods. So far I've tested out a bunch of low fat dairy. I found it all to be pretty good actually. And I'm really, really enjoying being on this new diet. So hope that video was useful to somebody out there looking to go low fat and you don't know what to what you can buy in the supermarket. I hope this video was helpful just to show you at least at the time of recording some of the options that are out there to help you make the make the right selection and pick up the right foodstuffs.
