Anytime I post a video dealing with food I’m sure to get some comments such as, “This isn’t healthy.” “Why do you eat dirty?” “Too much sodium.” “Why do you …

+adnan604 While I appreciate your opinion, you’re still holding on to a lot
of the dogmas that aren’t actually correct.

Although Jane Smith has her privacy settings set so I can’t respond
directly to her, despite the fact she commented like 8 times. I just wanted
to let her know that the times when I talked about how people are
stupid/moronic/idiotic I was pretty much talking about you. You’re
welcome.

Healthy to me are foods that benefit and enrich the body rather then abuse
and harm Ive found myself so much more energized vital and even stronger,
Not to mention the 35 pounds of fat i dropped in a month maintaining all my
body measurements since Ive stuck to vitamin rich super food rich diet
avoiding anything processed also eating a lot of greens cinnamon turmeric
berries almonds . I went from 198 pounds 16.5 arms 36 waist 52 shoulder
circumference to 169 with the exact same stats however 31 inch waist side
note i used to sleep a lot more also now i sleep between 6-8 instead of
8-10 hours due to the increase of energy. I feel as though the stricter and
more disciplined you are with your food choices the more optimal and
efficient your results will be. My diet mostly cuts out gluten as it is
known to cause inflammation and is difficult sticky protein to digest
causing inflammation caffeine similar effect and lactose all pro
inflammatory also sugar as it is a superfluous empty calorie and the body
needs none at all , giving up on shit is not much a sacrifice if it can
make you evolve and become the true best version of yourself . just my
experience.

There is no such thing as a “dirty food!” Take a burger for an example. Is
beef really that unhealthy ? Is the lettuce or tomato really dirty ? Take
french fries for another example. How are potatoes unhealthy ? Their fried
in oil, but not all oil is “unhealthy.” Vegetable oil is a so called
“healthy fat.” I say so-called unhealthy fat because saturated fat gets a
bad rap. It’s not unhealthy. Trans fats are unhealthy, and fast food chains
avoid trans fats. So what’s really unhealthy ? Too many calories is
unhealthy. That’s the main problem. The dude who lost 37 pounds by eating
only McDonalds for three months is proof of that. His cholesterol also
decreased. It’s all about calories people.
Get your essential fats and protein, and don’t eat too many calories. The
only unhealthy foods are candy and liquor.

(I will mention, though, that as I’m a total n00b to all of this – being
more strict about diet in the beginning/as you’re learning about all of
this stuff – to work in the routine of finding healtier and/or “better”
options, meal prep, meal plan, eat ‘clean’ – and so on – is what works for
me. It’s about changing the routine (rut, really), going for better
options. I won’t deny myself a PopTart if I want one, but I will probably
opt for a variety of PopTart that isn’t *all* sugar most of the time to get
into the habit of thinking about macros…) :)

Now I want a poptart. Great vid as usual. When I first got into fitness I
did all that crazy shit. Good thing there are people trying to spread the
truth.

Absolutely agree big man, nice video. I could eat only ‘healthy’ food but
if I eat friggin loads of it I’m still gonna get fat…

Awesome points made. I try telling this to people on a daily basis but
always get ignorant responses.

Being a health and fitness guy myself, I have to chime in with my 2 cents.
First off, I agree that if someone is eating clean most of the time and is
hitting their macros/overall calories, one single pop tart or “cheat” food
as some would label is not that big of a deal. Heck, I try to eat “clean”
75-80% of the time during a bulk and know how hard it is to get a lot of
calories especially for a hard gainer, so throwing in some cheat foods from
time to time in the grand scheme of things isn’t bad per say.
However, I wouldn’t go as far to say labeling an individual food item as
“healthy” or “unhealthy” is stupid and here is why. Take for example you
wolf down a classic Mcdonald’s Big Mac, large fries and regular coke. A
more experienced person such as you or me would probably just chalk that
meal up as a “cheat” meal and get back on track the next day or use IIFYM
to make the macros work in our favor. In this context, this fast food meal
wouldn’t be labeled as unhealthy according to you, though there is more to
overall health and longevity than hitting just #’s for appearance but I
don’t want to digress too much.
The problem lies in that the average person may count calories but the
majority do not count exact macros (proteins, carbs, fats) per day. I don’t
have statistical data to back this up but the majority of people simply
focus more on overall calories without regard to macros. If you’re not
convinced, simply ask around and you’ll see. So when they see someone
having a cheat meal, they may try this approach, only to find that their
macros whether they track them or not gets completely out of whack. It’s a
very slippery slope for an average to inexperienced person. By labeling
foods as “healthy” and “unhealthy”, I think it simplifies things and also
makes it a little easier to hit your macros if this person decided to try
flexible dieting/IIFYM.
Also, eating what’s considered “healthy” foods does have advantages. For
one, most healthy food keeps you feeling fuller for a longer period of
time, hence lessens the chances of someone binging who’s trying to lose
weight. Also, eating that 1 pop tart might not make you tempted to eat the
entire box but some people have very addictive personalities and this
approach might not suit them.
Last, I agree for the most part what you’re saying in this video but do
have a small issue with the title of your video b/c you do not know
people’s individual circumstances whether it’s high blood pressure,
diabetes, bad heart etc and by stating that eating “healthy is stupid”,
you’re indirectly setting some people to fail miserably in their diet.
Thanks for taking the time to read this essay if you got this far.

I agree with some of your points. Your basically saying “if it fits your
macros” (IIFYM) is okay to use. But I always bring this example to people
who believe in IIFYM like it’s the word of Jesus– Example is, let’s focus
on ONLY protein. Forget the other macros, sodium, micros, etc…. Only
protein. So if we’re focusing on only protein, let’s say person-A gets 100g
protein from McDonald’s chicken nuggets, while person-B gets 100g protein
from store bought chicken breast. I understand that is taking it to the
extreme, but with that train of thought, it is saying that person-A and
person-B got the exact same quality of protein. See what I mean? This can
be applied across many platforms. I go in my kitchen and eat 10 spoonfuls
of sugar to get my carbs up OR i eat, say, brown rice. If you believe those
2 are equivalent, then I completely disagree.
IIFYM can be applied to some extent, but I think it’s a dis-service to
yourself to follow it completely. A snack or 2 of something that isn’t
considered “clean” is okay, but if you base your whole diet around that
shit? Idk about it. This goes mainly for if you are cutting up (i.e. trying
to lose weight.) If you are bulking, IIFYM can be followed a bit more and
maybe you can eat fast food or whatever you want.
In conclusion, I just feel like you are better off eating these clean foods
because they are nutritionally better for you and the QUALITY is much
better. Why buy $70 designer whey protein when you can buy same amount at
wal-mart for $15? Because QUALITY counts/matters. Maybe I’m wrong and maybe
what is considered junk food will effect your body the same way, but why
even risk it? It’s so hard to build muscle for us natural guys, that I
would think you want to take advantage of every single edge you have made
available to you to build and maintain muscle. You can’t go wrong with
eating clean to hit your macros.
LOL @ Longest post ever. Still my favorite fitness YouTuber, Brandon. You
mind if I make a reply video to this?

Its crazy how shocked people are when they see someone eating something
that isn’t chicken and dry rice. Not everyone who lifts want’s to be a
bodybuilder, so why eat like a bodybuilder during competition prep? Aslong
as someone is making gains, why should someone care if they’re not eating
‘clean’ 100% of the time?
