What's up beautiful people, it is your homegirl Shameless all up in your kitchen!
Last time I was filming in this kitchen, I filmed a roach video.
You guys should check it out!
But the reason for this video is because of this... scandalous video over here where I'm winding up my waist I'm winding it up!
You guys have been requesting this video, I have been stalling forever.
And that is because I don't work out.
You b----!
I worked out for 2 weeks before the summer hit, and I stopped... 'cause I have excuses.
I stay in shape, number 1, the food that I eat.
And this video is gonna address my diet and all that stuff.
2, lifestyle. And 3, genetics.
I'm constantly carrying heavy things up this stupid hill that I live on.
And it is a serious annoyance-slash-workout for me. I ain't mad. 'Cause that's my workout.
For me, I like to do things like, carry heavy bags up my hill, from 23rd street up to Harlem.
So even today, I just... I went grocery shopping, and I went to the photo store to buy...
A new backdrop. It's yellow!
It's for this video I'm gonna film, you guys.
So I'm carrying this up a hill with 3 grocery bags. And that's a workout.
Up to Harlem, and I take the train. I don't have a car.
So for me that's how I stay in shape. Little things like that--I do little tips and tricks and stuff like that.
And then my genetics. But that's not to say I can't gain weight--I have gained weight in the past.
And I gained weight in my waist to my face area.
So I'm gonna show you the foods that I eat. Let's take a tour of the fridge now, shall we?
Enter the fridge. It'll be super quick, so you guys don't worry about the energy.
Blueberries, I like to eat that with my morning oatmeal.
Strawberries. That's for my salads.
We have my grape tomatoes.
I don't eat too much corn. I eat it here and there because it is very starchy.
And one of my favorite greens, which is kale. I love kale in salads.
With this sesame ginger dressing, which was put on to me by cousin Jeigh! Holler!
The only meats I eat are chicken, eggs, and seafood.
So in the morning I'll either have an omelet or oatmeal.
I don't drink milk. I drink almond milk. And I prefer this over soy milk because soy does have estrogen,
which mimics human estrogen, which is a femaale hormone, which is probably not good if you drink it in large quantities.
Because I don't eat dairy, I opt for the coconut milk yogurts.
And I did just go shopping at Trader Joe's.
My favorite, coconut water. Oh my gosh!
For some snacky, snacky-time, carrots are awesome.
I love stir fry, so I use a lot of greens.
And is that it? Oh, baby spinach. I like putting that in my omelette.
That, red peppers, onions, maybe some mushrooms.
I love cucumber in salads, or even my water.
Now if we just look to our right.
In terms of cooking, I like to cook with soy sauce. I love soy sauce.
My favorite salad I like to make the jerk chicken salad. And I use this seasoning by Walkerswood. I marinate my chicken overnight with this stuff.
So good. With coconut milk, oh my God.
Okay, now for the freezer! Lots and lots of frozen fruits.
And this is because Jeigh and I do our morning smoothies.
This is really awesome. If you have bananas that are super ripe and you don't have the time to eat it,
all you gotta do is chop it up and put it in the freezer, and use it for your smoothies.
This is Jeigh's. His grilled chicken strips. I don't eat that.
When I don't have time to cook, I'm always eating like, ready-to-go food.
I don't eat at fast food restaurants. I don't eat McDonalds or all that stuff. McDonalds, Burger King.
This is frozen chicken. I thaw it out when I'm ready to cook. I usually do like a grilled chicken salad.
And some snacky snacks.
Seaweed. Awesome. Wasabi. So good.
I've always eaten like, these seaweed snacks. This wasabi was put on to me by Jeigh.
I love cashews.
I cook with sweet onions.
I cook with extra virgin olive oil.
And I do have coconut oil, but that's for Jackie. I drizzle her food with some of that stuff.
Moving on! Let's take a look up in the cupboards.
What else do we got going on--oh, I love to marinate my chicken in coconut milk.
This is my favorite from Trader Joe's, this corn chile. This with some tortilla chips.
And this is when I will eat cheese. I try not to buy it. But cheese and ice cream... there's no such thing as a replacement for the milk part.
Morning times I have oatmeal, or my omelettes.
Again, more snacky stuff. Almonds.
I don't do energy bars too much because I'll probably eat them all.
That's another thing; if I don't have it in my house, I won't eat it.
I like to season with allspice for my jerk chickens.
And my sliced almonds for salads.
I'm using red quinoa as my rice replacement. I usually eat white rice. I don't like brown rice.
But this summer I'm just doing more salads right now. When it gets colder again I'll go back on my rice tip.
Oh, my candy ginger. This is like me and Jeigh. We're all about this stuff. We're all about that life.
Try some! Here you go.
Okay... now my tea cupboard.
Yes, when I'm super tired and I need to work, I will drink drip coffee.
I have brown sugar. And honey. And raw honey.
You know what, I used to use agave, I guess I stopped. I don't know why. No reason.
You could try agave. That stuff's good.
But what else? What's a really good thing--this stuff. Emergen-C.
If I took it everyday I wouldn't be sick, but I have a cold.
For my smoothies, I like to add one scoop of this protein.
These are my vitamins, my spirulina. Echinacea. This is great for colds. Put that in your water.
Doesn't taste great, but your body will thank you.
That's Jeigh's stuff, and--oh, sometimes I do have chia seeds. You soak it in water, or juice, or almond milk.
And that's it! That concludes the tour!
I like to eat properly because I hate working out.
But I will be working out with you guys. I have personal trainers that are gonna get us in shape.
I need to work out. I've been avoiding it. I like doing things that I hate, 'cause it's a challenge. I like a challenge, you know what I mean?
You know what I'm saying?
But yeah, stay tuned for that stuff.
Do you, be you, stay true... boo.
