I like the idea of dropping the side dishes when you’re not training. Will have to give that a try for sure.

Thanks for sharing your approach to a healthy diet. It’s always very interesting to see how different people from different cultures eat. I think this is important to consider for people who watch from the US where meat is eaten a lot more and there is less focus on milk products and bread than there is in German speaking cultures. Overall, I think the basic pillars of a healthy nutrition are getting enough protein, fibre, essential fats and micronutrients through a good mix of animal products, vegetables and fruit and filling up the rest of the available calories with carbs or fats that allow flexibility to your diet. So eating pizza isn’t a problem if you have the calories available and you‘re still getting enough protein and vegetables in at that day.

Friend I am 100% Italian and live 40 km from Naples, where pizza was born. Pizza has NEVER hurt anyone in fact it is recommended in diets. OBVIOUSLY you understand that if you eat pizza every day, super seasoned, the discourse is different.

I'll be honest, without hitting anyone. My brothers-in-law have also been to New York for their honeymoon beyond other countries. They went on the first day to a couple of "Italian restaurants." Out of the 10 days they were in New York, 9 preferred to eat at Mcdonald's. Pasta and pizza, with ketchup.... Now think about this. If you eat in Italy a pizza in Naples and one in Venice, you will notice the abysmal difference. Imagine if you eat a pizza in Naples and one in New York.... Those American restaurants, made in Italy should not exist. Eating Italian food in America is like entering a church while there is a mass and blaspheming....

That was great 👍 Gregory ,agree 💯 percent about the meat moral’s well done way to go great diet ,way off eating …..

Great episode👍 Not doing creatine, though, ... love my long hair, old rocker, 60's kid, ... 🤗 But for the rest of it, my kind of nutritions ... only, me? ... way to less. I guess it's a habbit with solitary older men in general, ... 🤔 yep, ... someting to pounder on 🙏👌👍

I have no issue with meat in general, but with the way cattle and hens are kept today. Therefore we reduced meat, though we like it. I mix some protein powder in my yoghurt, then it is much cheaper than that ready one you buy in the supermarket . It also contains sugar. I bake my bread myself.

Hey Gregory, thank you for posting the information on the diet you personally eat! I'll probably get some hate from people for saying this, but I find people get too dogmatic about their approaches to nutrition and diet. Over the years, I have found that different people need different approaches in order to reach the same goal (health through nutrition). What works for me will not work for someone else. What works for someone else will not work for me (I've tried many approaches that supposedly worked for others--high carb/low carb/keto/paleo/vegan/etc). I still appreciate the video though, because I like to see what similarities and differences there are between my personal approach to diet is compared to a fitness professional! Edited to add: I also eat less meat than I used to, and for the same reasons as you (moral issues relating to animal sentience and worth). I've tried being vegan before, and it's difficult when you're training with Kettlebells. Not impossible, though! I know for a fact that your Kettlebell Sensei Steve Cotter is a Vegan (or he was the last time I checked), and so is Mike Mahler. Two examples for your vegan subscribers to check out!

I just want to understand the moral logic behind not eating meat. I had a phase where I didn't eat meat but that was mostly because I was convinced it wasn't good for me. I love animals and had many close connections with my pets over the years, but I'm still able to understand the importance of nutrition, and the fact that humans have been eating meat for a very very long time. I just see it as part of the cycle. Other animals eat other animals, we are no different. Factory farming is appalling, but that's why I opt for high quality grass fed and pasture raised meat. Care to share where you come from on this subject? Does the moral issue lie in how the animals are treated in factory farming, or just the fact that you're taking another sentient beings life?

@@DreamTerrorist I was initially dragged into vegetarianism and veganism because of racism. Non-Chinese people making jokes about how I probably "enjoy eating dog meat" even though I've never eaten any dogs before in my life. I am an animal lover myself (that's my pet dog you see in my profile picture), and I probably ate less meat in my entire life than these people who attack me for supposedly eating dog meat because I happen to be ethnically Chinese. I extrapolated that to wonder why people have double standards regarding certain animals and not others? There are countries where people eat Horse meat, for example. That's what led me to attempt to eat as little meat as possible. That, plus I just don't enjoy the taste of meat as much as I notice many other people do. I also notice that I actually have MORE ENERGY on a meatless diet, contrary to what people may think. I have also had no negative effects, nutrition-wise. If anything, my blood pressure, cholesterol, and other health measures improved. Whenever I ate a large portion of my diet in meat, I would feel fatigued and listless. Like I said in my first comment, everyone has a different diet that works for them. Just because eating meat works for you doesn't mean it will work for other people the exact same way. And I stopped trying to push my views about that subject on others, because over the years I have recognized that what works for me will not necessarily work for other people.

Have you ever counted how many insects we kill when we spray poisons, even organic ones, in order to have 90 apples? With a large animal you eat for a whole year. Maybe we need to look a little deeper at the ethical reasons 😅 or maybe we should care about ourselves first, for ethical reasons!

Animals eat other animals all the time. Humans only feel bad because we have empathy and easy access to a lot of other garbage, and propaganda, in a modern world. Eating meat is completely natural and has been since the dawn of man. Whether you hunt your own or not, there's nothing wrong with it. Moderation is an ever present lesson. I personally go for more fruits than veg, as the natural sugars are a double win!

after training i have a passion for Ben & Jery's vanilla ice cream. i wish it was with less sugar, but i feel it good for my training recovery 😅

Very interesting material, very factual and specific. Interesting observations. I noticed that you have recently gained more muscle mass and are more trim and sharper in your figure! I haven't eaten meat for 13 years - 10 years of vegetarianism and the last 3 years of veganism - you can live, do 3 workouts a day, 6/7 days a week and still have enough energy :)

I definitely lost some muscle compared to my older days; however I'm more lean. That often creates the illusion, that I became more muscular. lol

You gotta drop the moral issue with the meat brother. Increase the meat and decrease the veggies. I get it but you must understand that meat and animal based foods are some of the most nutrient dense and bioavailable foods humans can eat. We're meant to eat it, it's just nature. Those cows aren't dying for no reason and are serving a great purpose in a beautiful cycle! 🐮

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ate meat, so there’s nothing wrong with it. What is moral objectionable is unnecessarily cruel factory farming methods. These obviously did not exist at the time of Christ.
