All right Young Primate, talk
to the people, man.
Let 'em know what's gettin' ready to go down.
- Now we're about to talk about pretty much, my diet.
How I stay in shape.
How I stay ready to get on the bar.
Any type a training, ya know.
Obviously like everybody, I used
to eat meat.
Transitioning into a pescatarian diet, as of recently.
It's been about four months now.
And meaning like, my main source of protein is fish.
Lotta fruit.
Legumes, like everything like nuts, almonds, cashews.
You name it.
What I do is, this is your main thing as well, water.
Believe it or not, the body is made of what, 75% water?
Somethin' like that.
It's what's you gonna need.
It's gonna always keep your weight.
Your mind is gonna tell you, oh I'm hungry
but drinkin' water, constantly eatin' fruit.
It's automatic, your system is just gonna flow with it.
This is just what we need.
So on a day to day, eatin'
a lot of avocado, rice, beans, chickpeas.
That's literally what I eat.
Like it's hard to explain, just for the simple fact
that talkin' to certain people is they act like
it's impossible, ya know.
It's really not, we really tryin'
to transition to vegan, eventually.
So it's a process, ya know.
Day by day.
And you see the difference like, literally when I let go
of so much dairy, and everything, my body's just fluid now,
It creates this fluency within the body,
but it's like I said, it's what we need.
All right, give us a typical day.
- A typical day. A typical day
of what you eat,
and start, ya know. - I start the day.
The first meal, all the way through the day.
Give us typical day, go ahead.
- I start the day off with some water.
Probably banana or shake.
I incorporate a lotta
Sea Moss natural herbs. You
said shake, what kinda shake? - Shakes like.
Tell me what you's puttin' in your shake.
- For the mornin' I'll start off with bananas, strawberries.
I try to get organic peanut butter.
If not, I'll still use regular but, a tad bit of it,
being that it's really processed.
So I'll start that off with some Sea Moss.
Blend it up.
Add some almond milk, and good to go.
It's gonna keep your day goin' for it be
at least three hours.
Good, ya know, and after that, I get home.
Try to eat salads, pretty much, the reason
why I say this, fruit is really my main part of everything.
I incorporate fruit into almost every meal.
I could do it with a fish and stuffed certain ways,
and get creative I do.
Because that's really a main source of.
All right, you said salad.
All right, tell us what you puttin' in that salad, man.
- Kale, kale.
Kale, what else?
Any other things?
- Kale, I put a lotta cashews.
I put cranberries.
I can get lettuce from time to time, which is Romaine.
But it's mainly kale, 'cause that's
where all your iron comin' from.
It's a way different, everything's different about kale.
Whether you do your research, the stuff that's in it.
Compare it to anything else, like spinach,
Ya mess
with the spinach, too?
- From time to time, because it still has some nutrients
that the body needs.
Time to time, but my main source of green is kale.
Is kale? - Yes sir.
What about the fruit
you was just talkin' about, fruits?
- I try to get a lot of seeded fruit.
Seeded grapes.
Seeded grapes
is hard to find now. - Hard to find, very hard.
Concords, ya know those are.
Ya Concords.
- And when possible, ya know, you gotta go
to like Whole Foods, or Trader Joe's.
You can even check your local markets.
If you really look in these stores, a lot
of the food's seeded, and you get what you need, ya know.
Catch a lotta seeded watermelons.
That's what I love, watermelon.
My favorite thing is cantaloupe, melons
in general, love them.
A melon is made of 90% water.
It's that water in,
it's what you need to go. (chuckling)
All right, so what about,
you afraid of the nuts and the seeds group?
What's some of your favorite there.
- I could go for cashews, for basically nutrients
that it has for your teeth.
Almonds, of course, 'cause protein.
All nuts have protein,
but almonds especially
'cause they keep ya full.
It's like you ate a plate.
If you eat a pound of 'em, feel like you ate a whole plate.
Of some other food, that's gonna destroy your body,
rather than eatin' that, ya know.
Those are my main two.
Peanuts from time to time.
If I wanna snack, pistachios.
But mainly cashews, pecans, things like that.
How about the rice, what kinda rice?
Any specific kinda rice?
- Be honest, so bein' that I'm still a day by day process
for me, I still do dip and dab in white rice and stuff,
but it's not the best.
So I wanna obviously go for wild rice, quinoa, brown rice.
Quinoa,
that's a good grain. - Yes, a very good grain.
I'm in the supermarket, I try to look for things
that incorporate quinoa, and all that stuff in there.
Garlic with the rice.
I don't suggest the white rice 'cause that' not what I do,
but I say like I said, I'm still a day by day for me.
So I do try to still have a balance with my life.
But you still gotta do that.
You gotta keep a balance.
But make sure you know what's you're putting in your body.
'Cause a lotta people eat things, thinking it's doing
the damn thing for them, and it's not. It's really tearing them down.
So at least have knowledge
of what you puttin' in your system.
Do your research, is what he's saying.
- Definitely.
What about soda, you mess
with soda from time to time? - No, no soda at all.
No soda. - I haven't touched soda.
Oh man, it's been, wow, four years
since I had some soda, man. That's good.
- Water,
a lotta natural juices like. What
about juice, juice?
Explain to them, natural juice.
- Natural juices, is like I'll go to juice bars.
If you wanna check out your local juice bar, in your town.
You can always juice up fruits like oranges, apples.
Whenever I make smoothies, I always try
to get that juice then.
That natural way, instead a getting processed natural juice.
Meaning like Tropicana,
that's what you're talkin' about.
You don't mess. - Yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly.
Stuff like that, yeah.
That Twister, stuff like that.
That's not, you know, the sugar,
the sodium, it's ridiculous.
It's crazy.
Okay, how 'bout your workout routine.
Tell 'em a little bit about, you know.
- My day to day
workout routine. A bit.
A basic just a regular day.
Just a regular workout day. - For me, man.
I do, I mean the main things is reps and sets.
I also love to train freestyle and calisthenics, as well.
But my main mode of training is reps and sets.
Pull ups, push ups, dips, muscle ups,
squats, lunges, everything.
Even training static reps,
like levers, handstands, everything.
That's my main, day to day training.
Like I try to incorporate as much as I can,
until a certain amount of failure.
And then get up for the next day, and do it again. You always wanna rest too.
I know people who go each strong,
but rest is your everything, man.
So how many days a week you working out?
- I work about five days a week.
For two days rest.
And I'll be honest, I don't plan the days that I rest.
They're random.
There's days that I come in.
I don't feel like doin' it,
but that's sometimes my best workout.
Like somethin' your mind, you have to train your mind,
and like just go.
So are you straight calisthenics?
Or you mix the calisthenics
with the weights? - My main everything
is really calisthenics, but I do incorporate
a lotta weighted reps.
I played football for about four or five years,
so I have a lotta knowledge into weight training.
But doin' the knowledge and the longterm affect
of weight training, for the joints.
It's not the best, so so i've been doing calisthenics,
hard all for about, I wanna say four years now.
And it changed my life, everything.
I trust my body, and I never thought I could do that.
I'm doin' things that not people say they can do,
but you really train yourself.
And like I said, your mind, to wanna do it you can.
Your body's a temple. - [Interviewer] All right,
so you explain to them the good foods that you eat,
to keep your body like that.
Tell the people, the foods
that they shouldn't be messin' with.
- Oh definitely. Give 'em
the don'ts.
- I'm not gonna sit here
and say don't eat meat, because you can.
You know, chicken and turkey still have
a lotta lean protein in it.
So if you wanna do that from time to time,
just make sure you incorporate small portions.
The don'ts, man, definitely not soda, candy.
Like I said, I still dibble and dabble,
but when you trainin' and you know
what you can and cannot eat.
Like I said, you can have a balance but if you really tryin'
to have longevity it goes, candy,
all the sugary snacks, the cakes.
And that, that was a lot for me to get off,
'cause I'll be honest, I have a sweet tooth.
I love sweets, so. Talk about
the fast food, man.
What about fast food? - We could talk all day.
Come on, talk to 'em.
Talk to 'em. - The McDonald's, the Wendy's,
the, oh my god, the White Castle.
Even your delis man, you gotta watch the delis.
Sometimes the meat's sittin' there forever, man.
The cheese is old.
You gotta look at all that, man.
It's real out here, man.
It's not just, those name brands.
You gotta watch everything.
The Chinese food, the pizza.
Like I said, it's hard to really train your mind to do it,
but you want longevity and you're doin' your research.
And you know what it's doin'
to your body, causin' inflammation.
Why you wakin' up groggy?
You'll understand, and you'll know this is not what I need. All of that, you gotta
really pay attention to all of that.
What about tea, man?
You mess with any kinda teas?
- I love ginger tea, ginger and lemon tea.
I incorporate Sea Moss into that.
I try to do that almost everyday, if I can before work.
I like Chamomile tea, stuff like that.
I'm actually startin' to drink, this was new
for me, I never used to drink coffee without havin'
some type a half and half in there.
Cut that out, I drink it black now.
And ya know, if I want a little bit of caffeine, no sugar.
So those are the things to really look into.
You'll see the difference.
Okay, all right man,
anything else you wanna add?
For the people?
- Man, I just appreciate everybody's support.
Me gettin' on this channel and gettin' introduced to him.
