The SIMPLE Secrets To Dieting No One Talks About

do you want to transform your body like some of these people then these are some truths about dieting that we learned personally and we're going to share them with you today listen guys you've seen us eat hundreds of thousands of calories on camera I think we know a little bit about caloric intake um let's just take a look at these Transformations Andrew most of these are of white people this is just what was posted on the internet Andrew these women look dramatically different just from eating salads yeah and you're saying most of these trans uh Transformations they're saying that this is mostly from dieting what they ate and didn't eat not as much about based around the exercise I'm sure some of them exercise by the way right right right so to achieve this type of transformation Andrew do you have to eat like this every day oh my gosh I mean listen some of this looks good uh but yeah I'm I'm going for the more meaty dishes personally I don't know about that whole plate of egg whites that's crazy some of the more palec options well here's the truth Andrew yes and no because Andrew it is a simple calculation of calories in calories out in stands for intake out stands for output today Andrew we are going to be focused on calories consumed by the way I did find one HOA Asian guy whoa yes dude is a stud dude became a model let me tell you this he went from Patrick star to the the star of Twilight so make sure you like subscribe turn on your notifications check out smile sauce at smile sauce.com Andrew um long story short everybody knows that if you don't eat anything and you work out a lot you're going to lose weight right but would you say that most people in America are simply struggling with having too many delicious High caloric dense food options that are essentially really bad for your caloric intake yeah and listen guys we know delicious food trust me and we've eaten a lot and I still eat delicious food to this day but I think that there's a way that you can kind of balance it out still get some taste still go out to eat still have your fun but also actually meet your caloric deficit which is key right you want to burn more calories throughout the day than you take right right right so we're going to be focusing on half the equation today guys here are 11 truths that nobody ever talks about when it comes to dieting and these are coming from a Foodies perspective from people who eat delicious things every single one of these photos of delicious things Andrew we've eaten it on camera yeah Point number one you got to eat clean at home so you can enjoy eating out more both from a guilt and a taste perspective so I remember we were in Canada and I was saying that I was really cutting back my simple carbohydrate intake and our cousin was like yeah but how can you enjoy life though and then I remember just thinking in my head uh I've been doing a lot of research girls in particular phys physiology wise extra enjoy carbon take right but yeah I mean we're talking about carbs as in like sugars breads you know things that there there's sugars inside of breads rice pastries fluffy buns we get it so I think the key is if you cook at home more you will reset your taste buds so even when you do go out to eat your cheap meals or whatever just your loose freestyle meals more you'll enjoy them even more mhm yeah I mean uh I was doing a lot of research on the internet and there's this thing called they call it the taste palpability reward hypothesis meaning that you want to eat diet foods that are kind of good that means it's not a struggle to eat them but you don't want to make them too tasty or else you're going to Crave and want to eat more and then you might overeat so the key is to not overeat because at the end of the day listen even if you're eating healthy foods you can overeat healthy foods and that still can actually make you gain weight maybe you know maybe it's better for your health because it's better foods but ultimately you will gain fat because you have a caloric intake right right right I would say that most people mess up on sweet fruits like uh they mess up on nuts and they mess up on protein powder right they overeat those things almond butter too because almond butter is healthy for you or avocado they might have like six avocados in a day I mean let's be honest we all love using oil smalla oil olive oil if you use too much of it all the time yeah it's it's you know Point harsh truth from a foodie number two when you eat out three times a day it's really not that enjoyable anymore I mean literally it just has to do with what are you talking about David yeah no it just has to do with diminishing marginal value right like I mean you're just not going to enjoy it when it's almost becomes your normal Baseline because human nature is we normalize our expect expectations to what is like a pattern in our life right and I'll tell you this if you live in the city or if you live in Queens around so much good food or you live in Manhattan there is so much good food and still cheap food around that it is hard to not want to eat out at least two meals a day no 626 bro we were eating out three times a day easily that was going crazy that was a little much and very by the way it was very costly but we were making content about it at the time U Point number three unless you rotate like Cuisines all the time you're going to ultim end up eating the same things at a lot of new American restaurants anyway so really are why are you you're eating calories without even experiencing something new right right right and you're saying like experiencing something new uh for those people who really value it it does something for your brain like just as much as eating a lot of bread might release serotonin and make you feel good also for me like eating something new makes me feel good in in a different way even if it's not the tastiest thing I've ever had right just like oh wow I'm like I'm kind of like uh I guess I you know I enjoy that in my own way right for example we recently had this bulkan Street Burger from Serbia and it was like I really I knew that that on a caloric like macro level was not good but I still ate it but I didn't eat the whole thing because I still wanted to get that uh interesting experience and now if I meet somebody from Serbia I could talk about not just joic I could talk about the Balkan Street Burgers guys the three bite rule all you need is three good bites to really enjoy something and say that you've had it and for it to stick in your memory that's number four Andrew an air fryer is incredibly I cannot overstate this super key to achieving your dieting or weight loss goals hey this is not an ad for air fryer we are not getting sponsored by an air fryer although casor somebody ninja ninja hit us up Instant Pop whatever um I think it's really difficult to cook carbs in an air fryer and actually car is the easiest thing that can put you in a caloric Surplus right right and I would say honestly like chicken and even steak in a different way but you got to do steak properly but chicken for sure is already the easiest best thing to put in an air fryer right right right and especially nowadays with parchment paper and things like that essentially the cleanup is nothing yeah and the air fryer makes it easy to make food so you don't have to you know has its own fan you can stick it out the window or you can put it under your range hood so it doesn't make the house smell Point number five it all boils down like every single diet boils down to the same result but with different Pathways for example Andrew look at all these popular diets keto intermittent fasting paleo lowfat Weight Watchers Whole 30 sugarfree what is the key for every single one of these diets caloric deficit literally that's it caloric intake caloric output there's this meme that says carbs don't make you fat overeating makes you fat now it is you know I'm not a scientist in this but we've done a lot of research carbs are not like poison to your body it's just just that it's easy to overeat them right you need carbs for energy right especially clean carbs if you're a jogger or an athlete you need them no if you're about to work out and burn a lot of calories it is helpful to carb load that's when you eat a bunch of pasta the night before if you really got a marathon obviously before track Meats the night before a whole track meat I would eat pastas and I'd eat sandwiches a day so of course there is a time to carb load right but it's also not overeating those carbs and making sure if you are carb loading that you're working outo that is Andrew because carbs are starch starch will inevitably metabolize convert to sugar sugar will turn into fat so ultimately even though you're you're like oh I was just eating a piece of bread it doesn't feel bad if you don't burn it off it will inevitably end up as fat right Point number six focus on foods that are healthy nutrient dense but are still universally enjoyable listen nobody's saying you need to eat livers you could eat sweet potatoes salmon filets roasted chicken thighs look at this plate Andrew with the fls that looks good with roasted veggies right oh yeah I mean we make some I may I I feel like I I I like some of the dishes that we've been making at home and I would say this like basically you want the nutrient-dense foods because they satiate you and they keep you full longer like I noticed so the other day and I'm going to tell David I brought home that burger from Burger head in New York one of my favorite burgers in all out the I got two of them and they were double patties right so these are big burgers and I ate one whole burger with the pat with the bun and everything so that's a little bit of carbs right there but then I had another half of that burger and I just ate the meat part and literally I was full for like 6 hours and that's all I ate so to me it wasn't that bad because I had a little bit of carbs lots of meat pickles tomato obviously a little bit of mayo and sauce but like I wasn't hungry at all for like so much of the day yeah yeah yeah I think a lot of people think that like uh lean proteins are not going to taste good but you could put sauces on them and look at all these uh vast array of low calorie sauces that are available for example Andrew this is a little just to bring the Asian element back in chano which is like a Sumo dish is one of my favorite dishes in the entire world it's probably the best meal I had in Tokyo and uh you can actually make it super low calorie and carb free with uh calorie free uh shrai noodles and uh Ultra lean versions of chicken and things like that so it goes to show you that's one of my favorite meals in the entire world chunko nabe now now we do have to acknowledge David a lot of good tasting sauces and food s can be very salty and salt although I don't think it's the same it's obviously not the same as sugars but you don't want to overeat sodium either yeah I mean that's the other side of it and you can do things like apple cider vinegar and prevent glucose spikes and all the it gets really Advanced once you want to get into the molecular granular aspects of Health number seven it's actually cheaper and healthier to to than eating out to cook at home yeah dude I'll tell you this man eating out I've realized that yes there is a certain taste that is very hard to achieve at home in fact in some ways you can never reach it but that's also because they're making food to taste good not to be healthy at home like look at what we're making we're making lean um round eyy steak with my uh inspired uh crying tiger sauce you know I got this ginger scallion chicken that's baked it looks ugly but it was tasted really good I made the steak sandwich okay that was bread I I made the carb intake uh with my girlfriend but then this is a chicken soup that I've been making that's that's very uh low calorie too and very tasty right like um a top sirloin steak if you get it at home it could be $8 it's $30 at the restaurant roasted Brussel spouts at home might cost you $3 eating out it's like 13 so it's about like 20 to 25% of the cost once you factor in like taxes and tips and Ubers and things like that it's like literally a fifth of the price for the same dish oh yeah and it's healthier but yeah I might be missing like one or two seasonings sure sure sure definitely but like if you can get it to taste seven out of 10 as the restaurant with four out of 10 of the cost yeah and then the health is better guys yeah let's just be conservative here you're looking at 25% of the cost 25% of the calories and uh like 75 80% of the taste right so that's just the math masth in that situation Point number eight Andrew do you want a high volume of healthy food or a very low volume of unhealthy food let's just so so you're saying people could potentially eat more unhealthy foods but they can't eat as much of it versus no no no they eat a small volume of unhealthy food or that you can eat a large volume of healthy food right but the small volume of unhealthy food technically might be the same amount of calories but they're not going to be the same type of calories and it's not going to be the same type of energy just look at this look at these dried sugar fruits that fit on the palm of a woman's hand versus a gigantic bowl of fresh fruit um popcorn three cups of popcorn versus nine chips I mean I I'll just pop these up here guys listen the math just look at it it's visual Point number nine Andrew this applies to drinks as well one p colada is equivalent to 10 vodka or tequila sodas whoa and listen every major drink brand in 2024 I don't care what it is they're going to have a low calorie low carb option even for your favorite beer Japanese beer I just had a recent Sor beer that tastes exactly like Sor zero cows zero everything I don't even know how they did it to be honest I it was like uh witchcraft number 10 there are healthy trap foods such as fruits and nuts and protein bars where they're technically healthy but it's really easy to overeat them so they're healthy but they're still trap Foods right so so almost everything a lot of foods can be healthy when eaten in the right amount but almost everything can make you gain weight if you overeat it so that's why the key and uh I think it's funny because nuts are something that obviously people are like oh it has good fats it's good fats you good for your gut yeah it's good for your guts and yeah I mean I think generally you're eating the seed of something you know it has a lot of nutrients but you can over eat and still overeating nuts will still make you gain weight right you can overeat eggs or even avocados I think eggs of the nutrient dense like seed type birthing type things is the least caloric dense right right despite having the most nutrients and eggs is is a super cheap code because they're cheap too and they're super nutrient packed number 11 there is a low calorie good tasting version of anything a lot of people you know when we were looking at the decadent Foods anderw there was so many cheesecakes in there cheesecakes are incredibly caloric dense there are Greek yogurt and Sky cheesecakes that are available nowadays and there's even ones that they sell at store that are pre-made if you don't want to make your own listen if you want to just go the easiest route you just get the strawberry cheesecake Chobani zero sugar and if you want to go one more level you could take triple zero Greek yogurt and then just mix in sugar-free Jell-O like cheesecake mix and then that will taste actually like cheesecake and then you don't have the crust wow um there's also low calorie versions of everything nowadays Andrew there's low calorie Mayo tuna smart pop low calorie dressings Halo topper NYX ice cream there's low calorie movie theater Butters spray smart sweets and they're usually going to use the word low carb low calorie keto or the word smart in front of it right right right and you know why it's smart Andrew because it's like 70% of the taste for 40% of the calories think about the math guys it's not 40% of the taste for 40% of the calories so so it works out Andrew a big Trend right now for cake lovers is diet soda cake this tastes like a brownie and it's literally 40% of the calories of mixing a bunch of eggs and sugar and whipped cream into your cake mix for example let me just break down somebody's omad meal Andrew this is somebody's one meal a day I really for for me I would never do this diet what do you mean oh just a bunch of pizza and Halo top and a Budweiser beer yeah this they got to 960 calories this is all they ate in one day and I'm saying listen you could just go get the sunor all zero so you're saving 50 Cals right there you could go with a tortilla Pizza get way more turkey protein if would relatively taste the same you could still have 200 calories left over for a healthy snack right here boom you got you know you know Little Greek yogurt or taziki you know lowfat taziki with some fruit and some turkey slices and you can eat Nick's ice cream and it's going to taste better so but you know at the end of the day if you do the omad with the dominoes and it works go for it let's take a look and are next at fast food this is a sandwich from Chick-fil-A that has 600 calories you can eat that or you could eat a whole plate a whole dinner of tilapia okay but let's just say you dropped the bun you went protein style you're at 400 calories now you already saved 200 off the rip on the Chick-fil-A now this is what are these plates are also 400 calories wow looks good right yeah and uh you could replace buffalo chicken wings that's 600 calories with the dip and it goes all the way down to 200 calories if you did Buffalo broccoli B cauliflower bites oh that's a tough switch I'm not going lie chenol or cauliflower but but but for some people they're just addicted to that that buffalo wing yeah sometimes you just want the flavor I get for some people listen I'm just showing what other people in another video I'm going to show what works for me that probably wouldn't work for me here are people who are eating 1,500 calories in a day and this is a breakdown of everything you can eat no matter how big or small of a man or woman you are if you eat 1,500 clean calories in a day or even if they're dirty calories you will lose weight think about it that I'm just showing you that's a decent amount of food right for me if I was going to hit 1,500 calories in a day this is what I do Andrew breakfast I do a avocado four eggs 300 I do a Korean sweet potato that's 100 4 ounces of steak that's 300 then I do small baked steel oats with blueberries and non-fat whip that's 200 two chicken drumsticks with soy sauce would put me at 300 then I'd have watermelon and that would put me at 1,500 in a day listen if I played basketball that day I'd burn 2500 I'd be in 1,000 calorie caloric deficit for that day wow if I did that over two weeks I would lose no I would lose two pounds a week I could lose eight pounds in a month if I did that every day because every but yeah obviously your burn rate depends on what size you are and what else you're doing it is hard to burn 2500 calories in a day that's that's a lot right um here are other people Andrew these people are sharing their diets at 1,200 calories a day your average American is probably intaking double this if not more oh yeah I would say so I mean do these do these meals look like they could pass for you okay I I could do some of these meals I don't think I could do this every day for seven days first of all I don't need to because I already intermittent fast which is something else we didn't talk about you're probably skipping breakfast right so you don't need I've been doing that for years I pretty much essentially don't eat for anywhere from 14 to 16 hours uh but yeah some of these are pretty good I would definitely do some of these man eggs salad little salt little bit of sugar there got some sweetness I like it and I think the key is once you've seen people really break down what 1500 calories looks like in a day and what 1,200 calories looks like it's like you just have a better idea for what you're consuming because you've looked at so many reps and so many repetitions of what other people are doing um like I said that that's that's those are the 11 harsh truths from Foodies but let me just go through a few foods that I think are real really good uh that anybody can eat like these are things these are almost like cheat codes these are sweet Foods yeah fruit and yogurt okay look you could put artificial sweeteners in there that are zero calorie vanilla extract cinnamon you can freeze grapes some people who are addicted to sour heads Andrew they froze cotton candy grapes and then they dip them in lemonade crystals ah and it tastes you know what I mean for those people tastes like candy tastes like a sour patch no it's like for the people who need the diet soda cake like they can't leave their decad food right right um this is like that's like vaping when you're trying to quit cigarettes right right right listen you can make it fun with quirky Foods you've never even seen before Andrew look at egg in a hole this is when you core out the bread you throw an egg in there in the air fryer there's steel cut oat cakes that you can bake I got on this off of Reddit recipe yo you you've been on this hard I'm not going to lie those cakes they look pretty wild coming out of the air fryer but whatever works man right you can add protein powder to these cakes other people cook protein waffles and protein pancakes I've seen that you do you can put protein powder in like virtually anything uh you can put eggs in sky or eggs and cottage cheese to really give the eggs a fluffy volume yeah yeah that's good uh cold brew plus protein powder MH like we said you could put creatine in it you can put whatever you want get you going in the morning and check off a bunch of checklist four birds with one stone low carb low carb wheat bread with avocado egg and cheese I mean pretty pretty you know whatever zero calorie drinks SLE zero calorie drinks taste good in 2024 a lot of people don't know cottage cheese Italian pasta yo that's crazy instead of alfredo sauce you got cottage cheese alfredo sauce yes uh look at this I'm a little skeptical of that but I got to try it look at this kimchi egg and cucumber plate that looks good that looks like a nice cool down you got some meat 94 calories obviously it depends on how much sesame oil you end up dowsing it with right and there's also sodium in that but ultimately I think people will take more sodium over the the sugars I'm GNA take for me listen guys there's always trade-offs if you want the hyper tasty low calorie low carb foods you may have to take slight sodium increase in the seasonings and the spices but you know it's up to you guys it just depends on how granular and how specific and you want to get with stuff stuffed bell peppers like some little Popp but stuffed with what no you could put um meat cheese in them yeah anything you know what I love I I think overall man a lot of people got to understand that like when you eat protein and especially not the fattiest protein I get it there's like short rib there's the super fatty beef that you get in Hot Pot where it like looks like beef bacon you know that obviously has a lot of fat but honestly if you can just like you can eat steak you can eat chicken you can eat eggs man all those foods are like they're super satiating high protein you know yeah you might put some salt put a little oil on there but ultimately if that makes you full for like half the day then that's great you're that you're on on the right track it's just like you're not constantly eating and snacking all the time overeating right so ultimately guys here are my takeaways I think it's just way easier than you think to go over calories and it's way easier than you think to eat delicious foods that are lower in calorie yeah but I I don't think that until literally you show people photos of people showing their 1500 calorie day or 1,200 calorie day you don't really notice that and if you do this throughout the week it allows you to have a Friday or a Saturday where you went to like 2700 right right yeah and I think that's the key here and if you are going to drink on the weekends I think the biggest key is Andrew you just can't eat pizza while you're drunk right and then also just get the soda and and liquor you know what I mean like vodka soda tequila soda basically diets Di and not s not Sprite soda I'm talking about soda water obviously right and I think once you develop an IQ from making these quick reads on food you don't really need to count everything out because I noticed for a lot of people counting every single calorie that's going to their body over day it just like they're just not used to tracking it like that it wears them out super stressful yeah yeah so listen guys listen we still go to spots we still try DEC in foods but I'm just saying at home this is the way our home life has been reworked right yeah anyways guys let us know in the comments down below what are some of your tips and tricks uh maybe even throw out some of the the the the easy recipes you use at home to make make something tasty but not too tasty again not too tasty cuz then you're going to want to eat more but tasty enough here's my number one for me sweet potatoes whether they're purple white or orange you can make a sweet potato tastes like Savory like a baked potato from like wherever your most decadent baked potato is all the way to just like a tasty Asian treat do you got one I I'm going with sweet potatoes I mean you know me I I like to do steak and lean steak you just got to marinate it everything just give it a couple hours of marinating I even poke holes in the steak sometimes I don't even get the the fattiest meat you don't need the fat you don't need riy you know steak onion mushrooms yeah yeah all right anyways uh let us know in the comments down below everybody thank you so much for watching and until next time we out peace
