 The importance of plant foods, whole grains, fruits and vegetables is rampant in our modern culture but that is far from what is needed for true optimal health. It is blatant that vegan health beliefs fall very in line with what average people are told and accustomed to. This is no different with even top athletes as it seems. Steven Wonderboy Thompson is one of the top ranked UFC fighters at the moment and how he eats shows how far genetics and dedication to training can get you because it is definitely not his diet. Good morning everybody. I guess I look tired because it is 7.45 am and I am not a morning person but I do get up to eat my first meal and what I have here, I have two hard boiled eggs, two whole grain wheat toast with I like to put peanut butter on it. You can switch it up and maybe do like a guacamole spread but since my weight is kind of on point right now I am just putting some peanut butter on it, it is delicious and orange and I have also a glass of skim milk y'all. Okay so I got the two eggs which is going to be a good source of protein, a dullish, the fruit is going to be a good source of natural sugars and the toast is going to be good for you know good energy is going to help kick my day off. I am going to be eating up to 2400 calories today and everything that I eat today is going to be delicious, it is nothing nasty, nothing really bland. Let's grub, I like to start with the oranges. This really is as cookie cutter and as appeal to authority as it gets, he is pretty much parroting things that he has probably heard his whole life, whole grain, whole wheat toast. First of all grains are actually bad for you especially the wheat bread that you normally buy in the supermarket, it has dozens of ingredients, it is not fermented naturally, it is not made in a high quality fashion you know like our ancestors used to make sourdough breads plus it doesn't have any significant amount of vitamins, the minerals aren't available, same as the elements, no real essential fatty acids in bread so why is it so good for you? Fiber has never shown any actual mechanistic benefit from a metabolic standpoint. Peanut butter is probably one of the unhealthiest foods disguised as a health food, it is high omega 6, those off your omega 3 to omega 6 balance, omega 6 fats are very prone to oxidation can be rancid plus peanut butter doesn't have vitamins, nutrients especially the water soluble and fat soluble vitamins, minerals, elements, fatty acids in any real capacity as it is from a plant source and only animal foods have the nutrients that our bodies really need. He says that the oranges have natural sugars which is kind of funny considering that these types of oranges we consume now are not reminiscent of what they used to have in nature and if someone is going to say oh well you get vitamin C from fruit, sugar and carbohydrate consumption increases your need for vitamin C so by consuming fruit for vitamin C it's actually a net negative unless it's a wild fruit like the cacodouplom, the acerola cherry, the camu camu fruit which are actually very high in vitamin C, water like sour rare wild fruits and he had to top it off with the skim milk, the pasteurized and homogenized low quality crap in the supermarket that is devoid of nutrients because the cows are fed a diet of essentially crap like he's eating. Imagine if these athletes were actually eating raw milk and high quality foods. Alright guys it's 9.30, I have my first meal at 7.45 this morning I'm eating again at 9.30 and I'm eating six meals a day not every meal is really big so this is considered a meal so an apple is good for you, it's good fiber, I'm eating kind of frequently so the frequency of your eating will will up your metabolism which will make you get leaner and it will also give you energy for training and it tastes delicious and it's sweet so meal number two. Metabolism is such a general term that if you're going to say something ups your metabolism it can apply to staring at the wall you know I could walk two feet and it ups my metabolism what do you mean by metabolism do you mean you're eating the apple and it's causing your blood sugar to be more consistent throughout the day do you mean you're increasing your food intake so your body adjusts to a higher caloric expenditure if someone doesn't explain what they mean by boost their metabolism they don't really know what they're talking about okay so like I said before my schedule is pretty crazy so this is a perfect diet for those of you guys that are on the go and what I've made for my third meal of the day something very simple it is a and I love it it's my favorite a good old fashion but banana and peanut butter sandwich on a whole grain folks it's got to be whole grain also has some clusters of grapes in there as well now the carbohydrates and stuff that that I'm that I'm eating is going to help when I'm training throughout the day because I'm I go nonstop to the day teaching classes is basically like a workout for four hours straight and then I train on top of that so I'm not bulking guys I'm not get I'm not my goal is not to get bigger the goal is to keep my weight down so that way it makes my cut to 170 a little bit easier at the same time it's satisfying it's nothing really bland I'm not eating bland chicken all the time even the chicken that I'm having today tastes phenomenal nothing like eating a good old-fashioned peanut butter and banana this meal is really similar to the first meal he's not having the hard-boiled eggs nobody has the wheat bread the peanut butter sugar from fruit and he emphasizes whole grain whole grain is not any healthier than refined white carbohydrates granted nothing extra is added and most whole grain breads are actually white breads refined white breads but they just add some extra of the seed or the whole to it to disguise it as wheat bread so it's very likely that he's not even eating genuine wheat bread and even if he was that only marginal difference is the blood sugar fluctuation but that only applies if he was eating the bread on its own he's consuming it with fat the peanut butter so he really doesn't have any basis for why whole grain would be better to consume he says he's trying to maintain a low body weight and yeah I mean starving yourself of animal nutrition and only eating plant slave foods is a great way to hamper your performance and keep your body weight down alright guys as you can tell I'm dressed I'm getting ready to go right from karate camp right into teaching classes so what I do here is kind of up my fourth meal of the day slash snack I guess you could say I'll do a hand full of blueberries and a handful of blackberries these things are rich in antioxidants and it's gonna give me that good boost energy when I get out there and teach classes going for one thing right into the next I need that energy so just more sugar to get him through the day and the antioxidant content in fruits is so insignificant if you actually understand glutathione glutathione is the chief antioxidant in the body and it primarily requires B vitamins as well as amino acids to be made so if you're gonna talk about antioxidant capacity of foods and not mentioned animal foods you're a little bit off track all right guys meal number five found a break right in between classes come and do this because my schedule is always crazy as you know so what I have here the fifth meal of the day I have a six ounces of chicken here which is great for protein you're breaking down the muscles to build them back up and I got a little salad here with us with a light vinaigrette I like to put some feta cheese in there as well kind of spices it up a little bit now the chicken that I do it's not a plain chicken I like to have myself flavorful so what I do is I'll get like six chicken breasts put in the crock pot for like eight hours on low and I'll actually take a knife and a fork and I'll cut the six chicken breast up right in the little small pieces and then I'll get this is what I do I'll get zesty Italian dressing and I'll pour a whole thing of zesty Italian dressing in there and mix it all up and that's what I use throughout the week for my chicken so it's just something simple boys and girls it is easy it's simple it works for me I'll be trained in the night also like I said I like this because it keeps it keeps everything fresh there's something I'm eating is good it keeps my energy up you know I'm saying so second last meal right here at least there's some animal protein in this meal although it's only six ounces of conventional chicken which is very low quality it's lean and we know that fat is where nutrients are contained you need fat to have fat soluble vitamins in the flesh of an animal you put some feta cheese in there so hopefully it's full fat feta cheese maybe that small amount of cheese every day is giving him some nutrients that his body needs he douses it in zesty Italian dressing we know which might have some bad ingredients here and there but the main problem with these diets isn't necessarily that the foods they're consuming are so bad for them it's just a lack of vitamins minerals elements and essential fatty acids from animal foods here comes my protein shake last meal of the day right here baby check that out check to check this out g fuel haha it's not g fuel but it's their bottle this is my sixth meal this protein shake is it so this is considered a meal this is good to rebuild the muscles that I broke down today during the strength and conditioning thanks to this guy I don't really know what to say if your major source of protein is from protein powder at some point in the day you know we've seen this with vegans trying to chill their supplements whatever they're trying to sell their viewers and it's really unfortunate everyone is so misguided on nutrition even these top level athletes you know throughout this day as we've said fat soluble vitamins water soluble vitamins a b c d e k 2 omega fatty acids all of these things are crucial to human health and development and these people aren't obtaining them in even small amounts if you literally had a couple bites of steak or a couple bites of wild caught seafood you would be getting more nutrients than he's getting in a week in a day if you don't have high quality animal foods present in your diet you're literally not giving your body the bodybuilding sustenance it needs in any capacity so thank you guys for joining me a wonder boy if you are in need of a nutritionist don't be inclined to hire me just to beat me up I'm in this to try to help people and really give them an understanding of a diet I do hope he finds guidance in the future and that his training camp diet is the complete opposite of this although you know it's probably not if you
