Hello.
2
Are you ready to learn some real life English with Comprehensible Input?
3
Well good, because today we are going to talk about what I eat in a day to try and be more healthy.
4
So what is Comprehensible Input?
5
Comprehensible Input is when a native speaker like me speaks slowly and clearly so that you can understand.
6
So how do I start my day to be more healthy?
7
All right, guys, it is your English speaking friend, Kyle.
8
Today, we're talking about the things that I eat in a day to be more healthy,
9
because honestly, guys, that's something that I know I need to work on and take better care of my health.
10
And it's hard to admit to admit to say it, But food has always been a weakness of mine.
11
I just love to eat.
12
I love to eat, guys.
13
And when I make these big dishes like a big bowl of beshvarmak or a big bowl of Indian butter chicken,
14
guys, I could just eat and eat and eat.
15
And that's okay every once in a while.
16
But when I start doing it every day or four or five times a week, I know that I need to change things and start eating healthier.
17
So guys, I just woke up.
18
Maybe you can tell by my hair that I just woke up.
19
So let's talk about how I start my day when it comes to eating.
20
So guys, I don't eat what you would call breakfast.
21
The early meal in the day when you first wake up, many people around the world, they wake up and they go eat breakfast, okay?
22
I don't do that.
23
I eat twice a day.
24
So my breakfast will be a little bit later in the day.
25
The earliest I usually eat is about 10 a.m
26
but it can be anywhere between 10 a.m and 12 p.m
27
that I will have my first meal which is basically like my breakfast.
28
So guys the first thing always for me is coffee.
29
This actually is espresso.
30
You just saw me make it with my espresso machine but
31
when I'm really trying to take care of myself there's something I do before I have my coffee and that is water.
32
I try to hydrate first before I start drinking my coffee and I've noticed that when I do this, I feel much, much better.
33
So the thing is, if you're just drinking water, you know, you, you drink it later, you go to the bathroom, it goes out of you.
34
And sometimes it even brings some of the minerals
35
that are in your body out with it when it goes when you go to the bathroom.
36
So some practice, a habit that I found
37
that really makes me feel better and more hydrated is having some salt with my water.
38
So this is Himalayan pink salt and this one comes from Pakistan.
39
So salute to our Pakistani friends.
40
I know we've got some people watching there.
41
And this is a pretty high quality salt.
42
It's pink Himalayan sea salt and that color
43
that pink color comes from the different minerals that are in the salt
44
and when you buy just a normal salt all that's in
45
that guys is sodium but
46
if you buy a more high quality salt you've got all kinds of what are called trace minerals small minerals
47
that come from the earth that are very important for our health
48
that many people are not getting
49
so what i'll do is put just a little bit of salt in my hand like
50
that i'll eat the salt and then i will have my glass of water.
51
So I drink this whole glass of water and then I'll have my coffee.
52
Let me chug this water real quick.
53
That's a cool piece of vocabulary guys.
54
Probably more used among young people, but to chug means that.
55
It means to take a lot of a liquid and drink, drink, chug, chug, chug, chug.
56
Okay, people say that at parties when they're drinking stuff that you shouldn't be chugging but I just chugged my water.
57
So now I can enjoy my coffee.
58
I'm going to go to the gym and get a nice workout.
59
Then I will show you meal number one.
60
Alright guys, I just got back from the gym.
61
Before I show you what I'm going to have for my first meal, I wanted to tell you guys a couple things that I'm thinking about, about the way I want to eat,
62
my goals, and why it's been difficult for me lately to eat good.
63
But before I do that, I want to show you guys this shirt sent to me by YouTube.
64
This is the 20th anniversary of YouTube shirt
65
and it was only sent to a certain number of creators around the world so I'm super, super honored to be one of them.
66
So here it says, established in 2005 and that was when YouTube became a company.
67
And on the back you can see here the 20 and the YouTube logo.
68
So happy late birthday to YouTube.
69
I love this company and I love the way that they treat their creators.
70
They're always sending us cool stuff and I really appreciate it.
71
No job I've ever had has treated its employees that good.
72
So thank you YouTube.
73
Honored to be a part of this company that I love so much.
74
So guys, it's been difficult for me lately because when I make the cooking videos, I make these huge dishes.
75
I eat so much and then that's not so much of a problem.
76
If I would just do that once a week or two times a month, that's okay.
77
But the problem is when I eat something big and delicious, the next day it makes me want another big, delicious meal.
78
And then I keep going and keep going.
79
So I know, I know that that's a weakness of mine and I need to be more disciplined to be healthier.
80
Now guys, I have gained weight recently.
81
Maybe it's not so easy to tell in my face, but I've gained over 10 pounds in the last couple of months,
82
which I think is like four kilos maybe.
83
And it's not very healthy.
84
I am lucky guys because I'm pretty tall.
85
So I have to gain a lot of weight before people noticed and start saying things like, wow, Kyle, you're gaining weight.
86
If I was shorter and gained 10 pounds, people would be like, oh, what happened to Kyle?
87
So I don't know, maybe you guys have noticed in the videos I've gained a little bit of weight.
88
And the problem guys, when I gain weight, it goes to my stomach.
89
I don't like that.
90
So I need to take control of my eating and I'd like to lose 10, 15 pounds.
91
But I am in the gym too.
92
I go to the gym and I'm trying to build muscle.
93
So really my goal is to eat healthier foods,
94
not eat so much, and not eat the things that I know are bad for me guys like ice cream,
95
cheesecake, sweets, pizza, a ton of bread, things like that.
96
So my goal is to eat real foods, whole foods, which means they have one ingredient.
97
So for example, an apple, the only ingredient is an apple.
98
But if you buy certain bread from the store, there's a thousand different ingredients in it and those are the things that start to be bad for you.
99
So I want to try and eat foods with as little ingredients as possible, make sure I'm getting enough protein to help my muscles grow in the gym,
100
and I want to make sure that I'm getting enough vitamins and minerals to support brain health, skin health, heart health, and everything else.
101
So the way I want to do this,
102
guys, I'm going to eat very simple for at least a couple of weeks and my main things will be eggs,
103
white rice, fruits and vegetables and just plain meat.
104
Okay?
105
And I'm going to follow a rule which has really served me well in the past and it's called the 80-20 rule.
106
80% 20%.
107
So what they mean by that is as long as 80% of the food
108
that you eat over the week is good, 20%.
109
If 20% of the food that you eat is not as good, that's okay because most of your food is good healthy stuff.
110
Now the problem guys here in the United States, I think it's usually the other way around honestly.
111
Most people are probably eating 80% garbage, some people 100% and then just a little bit of healthy food.
112
So I'm going to try and eat healthy food for most of everything I eat
113
and And then once a week maybe I will cook an awesome dish.
114
Maybe I'll have a little piece of cake if I go to a party or things like that.
115
I'm not going to tell myself I can't have good stuff
116
because that's when your brain starts to give up and then you go eat a whole cake.
117
So I'm going to allow myself to have a little bit of good stuff, but I'm going to try and make sure that 80% of what I eat is good healthy food packed full of nutrition.
118
And guys, the thing about me and my body, my body responds quickly.
119
It responds very fast.
120
So for example, if I start eating really bad food, you'll be able to see a difference in my body.
121
My body will start gaining fat quickly in a couple of weeks.
122
But if I do the opposite of that, and I start eating really healthy food, my wife even says, like, wow, your body changes so quick.
123
Like guys, if I stick with this for two weeks, my wife will be able to see a huge difference in my body and that's a good thing.
124
So I'm going to try my best guys
125
because there are things happening in my life that have given me motivation to take better care of myself and my health.
126
Alright guys, let's get this first meal going.
127
It is about 12 o'clock or as we say in English, noon, midday.
128
Alright guys, so the first part of my first meal is going to be four eggs full of protein, full of vitamins and minerals.
129
One of the best foods on earth.
130
And guys, normally the way I like to make eggs is not as healthy.
131
I'll put a bunch of butter into a pan, crack the eggs into that, and then put a bunch of cheese on top.
132
But today we're going to do something called poaching.
133
I have a pot of water here and it's boiling.
134
I'm going to crack the eggs in there and it's a lot healthier
135
because you're not getting any of the calories from the oil, from the butter, and from the cheese.
136
Like I said, we're going to try and eat very clean and healthy today.
137
So I'm going to crack these eggs into this pot of water
138
and then just let them cook for about four or five minutes.
139
I'll show you what they look like when it's done.
140
All right guys, our poached eggs have been cooking in the water for about four or five minutes.
141
They are done.
142
That's what a poached egg looks like.
143
Super simple.
144
And like I said guys, it's just a super simple, super healthy way to cook your eggs.
145
So, here we have our four poached eggs.
146
I'll show you guys the rest of the meal in just a minute.
147
Okay guys, meal number one.
148
We've got our poached eggs.
149
This guys is a purple sweet potato.
150
I haven't had one of these, but I love sweet potatoes.
151
They're delicious and very good for you.
152
And this one just looks cool, right?
153
Purple.
154
And then this guy's, this is called grapefruit.
155
It's kind of like an orange, but it's not sweet.
156
It's sour, but I like how it tastes.
157
So, oh, and some protein powder.
158
And some protein powder to make sure that I'm getting enough protein after the gym.
159
I've got my wife's mug here.
160
The mug is the kind of cup, her Snoopy mug, and I'm going to make my protein shake in here.
161
One, two scoops of protein.
162
This is a super good one, guys.
163
Like I said, I'm trying to have very little ingredients.
164
This one only has whey protein, which is the protein that comes from milk, organic coconut sugar, and dried strawberries.
165
So three ingredients and it has 25 grams of protein.
166
Mix that up a little bit.
167
This way we'll be making sure that my body's getting what it needs after the gym.
168
So just because you're eating healthy food doesn't mean it has to taste bad.
169
So I have this seasoning right here.
170
This guy is a YouTuber called Stale Cracker.
171
He's actually hilarious and he makes really awesome food so I like to buy this and support him.
172
I'm gonna put this on my poached eggs
173
and he always says sa se bon that is good in French and then I'll put a little bit of the
174
pink salt on my potato and then my friends I am ready to eat.
175
Let's try the poached eggs.
176
Nice and simple guys super clean food and this seasoning guys I'm telling you it is delicious.
177
Let's see what's in here.
178
It has dehydrated vegetables, garlic, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno, a little bit of sugar, lime flavor.
179
So guys, this is what we call a Cajun seasoning, which means a little bit spicy, but tons of flavor.
180
Super good.
181
All right, let's see about this purple sweet potato.
182
Super good, guys.
183
Nice and sweet with that salt.
184
Delicious.
185
One other thing I wanted to mention guys
186
that I'm really going to try and focus on over these couple weeks that I'm trying to eat healthier food is color.
187
And that's something that they say the more different colors you have on your plate the better
188
because in nature different colors mean different chemicals and that means different nutrients.
189
So for example I've got some red fruit here, got some purple here, and you just want to do things like that.
190
Try and have a little bit of green, a little bit of orange, And the idea is that if you eat a variety of different colors of fruits and vegetables,
191
you'll be getting a lot of different nutrients that your body needs.
192
Alright guys, I'm gonna eat my breakfast.
193
I'll see you in a few.
194
Alright guys, camera wife is eating the other half of the purple potato.
195
What do you think baby?
196
It's so good.
197
Good.
198
Good.
199
It's really good.
200
So my body is full of protein and nutrients.
201
I'm super happy.
202
Now I have one last little thing that I'm eating just because it's delicious.
203
A little piece of chocolate.
204
And it's like I said, guys, you eat 80% good, and then you can have a little bit of the things that are not so good for you.
205
But the thing about dark chocolate, it's actually really good for you.
206
So there is a little bit of sugar in this.
207
I didn't get the one that's super bitter.
208
There's a little bit of sugar in this.
209
But dark chocolate is super good for your brain.
210
there's tons of nutrients in in cacao that are not in other things
211
so you're gonna also have a little piece of dark chocolate
212
and that will be it for meal number one alright guys it is now after five o'clock between 5
213
and 530 and it's time for my second meal
214
and I was thinking you know I could make something fancy
215
and make it look really nice and you know make the video look good but I'm gonna be real with you guys.
216
What I'm thinking about when I'm thinking about what I'm going to make for this week while I'm trying to eat healthier, you know, for the next couple weeks, I want it to taste okay,
217
pretty good, be full of nutrition, full of protein, and not cost a lot of money.
218
So I didn't want to spend a bunch of money buying fancy stuff just so I can make the video look good.
219
I'm gonna show you guys how I'm eating today for super cheap and healthy.
220
White rice, plain white rice.
221
And this guys is salmon, pink salmon, and it's wild caught salmon, not farmed raised.
222
This is a lot healthier because they're eating what they're supposed to eat, not eating what the farmers give them for cheap.
223
So I'm going to put the salmon in with my rice.
224
This is something I used to eat all the time before I had good jobs
225
when I didn't have a lot of money.
226
I'll just mix that up a little bit in the rice.
227
And guys, this salmon is full of protein, full of vitamin D and also full of healthy fats called omega-3s
228
which are super good for your brain and tons of other things in your body.
229
So that's what we're looking like right now.
230
I'm also going to add avocado which also has a lot of good vitamins and healthy fat and it's creamy and delicious.
231
So I'm just going to cut it up like this and scoop it all out into my bowl here.
232
Guys This is the best way to get a seed out, to get an avocado seed out.
233
I've seen people try and scoop them out with a spoon.
234
That's not the best way.
235
You take your knife, you whack it, and you turn and you have it.
236
Oh, whack is another word for hit.
237
You whack it.
238
So I'm gonna do the same thing with this.
239
Cut it up and put it in my bowl.
240
Camera wife looked at my bowl and she said, oh, she's looking at it like this.
241
And now guys, I'm gonna add one last thing to this, which is something I discovered earlier this year, which apparently is super famous in China.
242
And it has become one of my favorite condiments.
243
Condiments are things that you put on food to make it better.
244
Lao Gan Ma.
245
Guys, love this.
246
You guys would not believe the things I've put this on.
247
I've put it on pasta, I've put it on tacos all the time.
248
Now I'm gonna put it in this salmon rice avocado bowl.
249
I'm working.
250
I am working.
251
Camera wife says, amor, can I try a little bit?
252
I just feel like I'm on my feet and I need to try.
253
This is marriage, guys.
254
That's what marriage is.
255
Okay, let me just do a try.
256
Oh, you're pretty awful?
257
Just a little bit.
258
All right, now, gonna put some of this in there.
259
And guys, this is chili peppers and has some soybeans and it's absolutely delicious.
260
Super happy I discovered this.
261
Shout out to our Chinese friends who have this at home.
262
If you live in China, tell me, do you have Lao Gan Ma in your house right now?
263
The best thing about this, guys, it is spicy.
264
All I did was lick the spoon and it made me cough, but it also has a wonderful flavor.
265
Some hot sauces are just spicy for no reason.
266
This is spicy but has an incredible flavor.
267
So now I'm going to mix this all up.
268
And like I said guys, this isn't pretty.
269
It doesn't look like some of the dishes I make that are super good.
270
People call me chef and stuff.
271
This is just rice, salmon, avocado, full of nutrients.
272
But healthy doesn't have to be boring.
273
You can put the things you like in there.
274
And I'm pretty sure this is going to be good.
275
Let's try it out.
276
Yeah guys.
277
Now the funny thing is I know there's some people right now who are looking at this saying like, ugh, that's disgusting.
278
And then there's some people like my wife looking at it like this.
279
I think camera wife's mad at me because I only let her have a little bit.
280
Alright guys, I'm going to go eat the rest of this bowl, make sure camera wife's not mad at me, and then I'll show you what I'm having for dessert.
281
Alright guys, dinner was super good.
282
I feel full and it tasted really good too.
283
Now for dessert.
284
Do you guys know what this is?
285
This is called a prickly pear cactus.
286
It's called prickly because prickly means sharp things that can out poke you.
287
This thing is sharp.
288
When I put it in the bag at the store it was tearing the plastic bag.
289
So, I don't know what on earth this thing looks like inside, what it tastes like, but I hope it's good because it's my dessert.
290
I was at the store guys, at a store called Whole Foods which has all kinds of different fruits and vegetables, organic stuff.
291
So I figured I would give this a try.
292
And like I said, more colors, more vitamins, more minerals.
293
So let's see what's inside of a prickly pear cactus.
294
And I got some paper towels, because I don't know if this thing is juicy or not.
295
This thing might be kind of dry inside, but it might be super juicy and start dripping out juice.
296
Let's see.
297
Oh yeah it's juicy guys.
298
Oh super juicy.
299
Hold on let me cut this over the sink.
300
Wow.
301
All right guys that's not what I thought it would look like inside but this thing is dripping.
302
Tastes really good.
303
I'm gonna be very well hydrated after this.
304
So guys this is kind of like a pomegranate.
305
There's little seeds that have little bits of fruit around them and it's pretty sweet.
306
Yeah I could almost drink it though because it is it's full of liquid guys.
307
Can you hear that?
308
It's like a crunchy juice.
309
Maybe try it.
310
Alright guys, I'm gonna drink my dessert.
311
Um, I think I'm probably gonna have a healthy snack later guys, because if I'm not eating a whole bunch of meat, I'm super hungry all throughout the day.
312
So I'm gonna eat this and then I'll show you guys my healthy before-bed snack.
313
See you in a bit.
314
Alright my friends, here we are at the end of
315
today's food journey and I'm going to prepare one of my favorite healthy snacks.
316
and what you do is you take frozen berries or cherries.
317
These are sweet cherries, super delicious and they have a lot of different vitamins and minerals in them as well and antioxidants.
318
Put those in a bowl and then all you do is add a little bit of milk.
319
This is a really good organic milk and pour it on top
320
and because the berries are frozen guys you could see that the milk starts to
321
freeze on them
322
and it really tastes like like a healthy ice cream super
323
good it's got protein in it there's a lot of vitamins in milk as well
324
and all the nutrients from the berries
325
or cherries I do this with blueberries too and it's super delicious
326
so guys this is the last thing
327
that I'll be eating today I think I did pretty good I feel pretty happy about how I ate healthy today
328
I exercise, I meditated, and I ate good food.
329
So I feel like I'm taking good care of my body and my mind today.
330
Got to be proud when you do good things, guys.
331
Celebrate the little victories.
332
So I will count today as a little victory, and I am one step closer to my health goals.
333
So guys, thank you so much for being here with me.
334
I appreciate every single one of you.
335
Tell me in the comments, what is something that you eat every day?
336
All right, guys.
337
Appreciate you all so much.
338
Thanks for being here and I will see you in the next video
