all right we're gonna get some blueberries these are actually green
initially they turn turn this color they have this antioxidant compound in them
called anthocyanins which are really powerful very good antioxidants really
good for your blood sugar I like them from a longevity perspective too there's
quite a bit of research showing that they actually help with your brain as
you get older with cognitive function and things like that
and they taste good let me grab some bananas bananas are really interesting
like see this green here some of them are really green that's actually
resistant starch so as they turn more yellow it's more sugar in them whereas
when they're green is more the resistant starch just interesting but I like them
because I feel like they actually help a little bit with my digestion they do have
potassium they're kind of known for potassium but it's kind of overrated it's
probably around 10 percent of the RDA but get some bananas
sourdough bread is really cool they part of the process of making it is they
ferment lactic acid with yeast and it makes acetic acid and if those of you
who know apple cider vinegar know that that has acetic acid in and which is
supposed to help your blood sugar now is that the reason why I ate this no I eat
it because it tastes good I just love the taste of sourdough bread
all right so now I'm gonna pick up some meat let's see what we have here we have
some ground bison we have some bison patties we have ground beef that's 90
percent lean this is the organic section here I I'm gonna go with 91 percent lean
I got something special for you next on the list this is what we're gonna have
for dinner so bet you no buddy will guess what I'm about to get so are we
gonna get Vienna sausage no spam nope I'm gonna get some canned red sockeye
salmon I love salmon loaded with omega-3s very good for you good for your
cell membranes good for reducing inflammation just a great food I think
associate of being a cans being bad that's not true
it's still this is actually wild-caught which is a good thing there's just
there's more bones and things like that so people and those things actually are
good for you but people are kind of scared of them
oregano is awesome it's a really good anti-inflammatory what else I have on my
list here I've got turmeric turmeric is like where you guys see the curcumin
supplement it comes from this but honestly you can't get enough curcumin
from just eating this on your food that's why you have take it in the
supplement form really really good antioxidants really good for gut health I just like
the taste of it I'm gonna pick up some garlic which is good for your blood
pressure and in your immune system garlic salt I think I'm going to get
some cinnamon too cinnamon cinnamon is a good glucose disposal agent so cinnamon
is actually an ingredient in many of the in many of the supplements that are
kind of insulin mimetic type supplements glucose disposal agents so
that's a really good one too here's the one I want to get right here pink
Himalayan sea salt salt has like this horrible reputation I don't
know where it started but salt is very good for you it's good for your skin it
actually helps you not retain water because it balances your minerals I
really like salt it's good for digestion has a number of benefits too people just
associate it with high blood pressure and things like that I think I read
somewhere that if you remove salt out of your diet it can it can possibly
reduce your systolic by one by one so if your blood pressure say 125 over 80 it
can go to 124 over 80 not a big deal but people on low salt diets have a lot of
them have problems their minerals are messed up they get cramps their sodium
levels in their blood is too low but anyways I like I like sea salt a lot so
I'm a big believer in salt and it helps with your pumps too that's always good
I always like to mention oils too because people wonder what's good what's
bad this stuff vegetable oil shortening I hate to say foods are bad but they're
bad they're they're not good I wouldn't cook with it if you want to cook with
something this is good clarified butter the saturated fats hold up well under
heat they don't go rancid like here's a walnut oil walnut oils that's more
polyunsaturated I would not cook with that I'd probably put it on a salad
avocado oil that's that hot that holds up under high heat that's good to cook
under with high heat plus it's got a it's a monounsaturated fats really good
for you then you see the coconut oils down there coconut oil like people think
it holds up under high heat it's out it's actually meant more from medium
heat but coconut oil is really good it's a good it's a good antiviral
antimicrobial just um some people put on their skin some people put it on their
hair but I personally like coconut oils as long as it's not hydrogenated like
there's very few things in a store that I would say stay away from it this is
the stuff I would stay away it's the vegetable oils this kind of stuff man is
horrible I'm gonna pick up some fage and when
they make this they separate the liquid whey out of it makes it real thick it's
lower in carbs it's higher in protein it also has iodine in it which is with
your thyroid which I like and then it's supposed to have the beneficial good gut
bacteria in as well and this one is plain it's not loaded with sugar so what
I like to put in the fage is different kinds of granolas and I usually like to
get some that have like a dark cocoa in it here's a dark chocolate red berries
made with cocoa flax and coconut so this would be something that I like to put in
the fage for flavor so we're gonna pick up some eggs I normally get these from a
farmer but I'm out so I'm gonna get this one here vital farms pasture-raised eggs
I know these are good because I bought them before and the yolks are real
orange when the yolks are really orange it's full of carotenes which is really
good for you plus they just taste a lot better
I'm gonna get some raw cashews now they're not really raw
they have been cooked the difference is like if you got the regular one they
roast them they put a little oil in them so they basically roast them twice so my
buddy Scott Stevenson made popularized sorbet so I'm gonna get some black
cherry and I used to use this night before a show I would eat a whole thing
very it you can have a lot of carbohydrates they go down real easy
there's 32 grams in a serving and there's four serving so that's a lot of
carbs that go down real easy easy on your stomach
a good way to carb-load so that's one of scotts secrets that I'm sharing with
everybody I don't think he'd mind tho
yeah a lot of people have they're eating these kind of designer ice creams I just
don't do real well with some of the sugar alcohols it's one of those things
I think you just got to try it as long as you do okay the sugar alcohols you're
okay kinds of upsets my stomach a little bit
but I'd rather just see regular ice cream I use a 90/10 rule so if your diet
is on target ninety percent of time the other 10% of the time you can have some
fun you can have a little ice cream I probably have some peanut butter
chocolate ice cream but I tell people you know don't be afraid to have
something you're craving don't worry about the nutritional value just make 90
percent of your diet you know really really solid then you can have some
fun all right so there's our trip to Kroger's we didn't get a ton of food but
um I usually don't get a bunch at once because I change what I'm eating quite a
bit so these are the things that I'm kind of in the mood for these next
couple days and when I come back here in three days I might buy totally different
foods but I hope you enjoyed it maybe you learned a few things maybe inspired
you to try a new meal or something else new but thanks for watching and as
