HEALTHY EATING TIPS 

Clearly the self awareness is STRONG with this one 😂

“How to eat healthy” from the guy who thinks straight mayonnaise classifies as a salad dressing

How's that healthy eating going jack ?

Well. This aged well... A year later he had a stroke and another one a few years later, losing an arm because of it.

yeh your tips must work... look at you

It's astonishing that you seem to think people can't tell when you're lying, though I have a suspicion that you can't tell yourself.

Funny how a majority if these tips are all for restraunts/fast food places. Literally just eat less, drink only water and if you wanna doube lose weight go to a gym. Simple as.

“It’s the way I roll” “Literally.”

A general rule of thumb when dieting is to avoid golden brown colored food.

This video aged like milk in the Arizona sun.

tip 1- eat more bacon explosions

I took the tomatoes off all my burgers n salads:)

He really thought he did something.

Getting healthy tips from Jack is like getting lessons in morals from Hitler.

@msbj10 Actually, you're wrong! Whole grains are also broken down into sugars. Simply put: There are 2 major forms of carbs - simple/refined and complex. Both are broken down by the body into sugars but refined carbs are broken down and absorbed into the blood more easily by the body (white breads, refined sugar, white rice, lactose) whereas complex carbs are broken down and absorbed much more slowly by the body.

Very insensitive about diets. The way you spoke about stapling stomachs was appalling. A diet can also simply mean your daily eating habits.

After the chicken and pork n bean salad i cant trust your judgement at should've stayed with the jack on the go nut now cant trust your reviews

I don’t think he lost 30 pounds

His advice is actually good, it he clearly doesn't follow it lol

Solid advice on the starches/sugar reduction. Take it from me who has lost about 20 lbs from cutting these out. A good rule of thumb is "If what you're eating doesn't have a mother or grow from the ground, DON'T eat it" Also I know you aren't a fan of packaged foods, yet you use high p.u.f.a. oils in cooking. These oils are what causes heart disease! Don't worry about butter, or the fat in bacon/red meat. we've been eating it for years and it doesn't contribute to heart disease Cheers.

My dad had to lose weight... all he did was no bread and very little meat... only salads... and did extra workouts... worked like a charm

Here's an eating tip that really works: Eat 5 or 6 meals a day, instead of 3, but make each meal smaller than normal. If we eat more often, our metabolism works better. Also, our bodies don't work as hard per meal to digest. This is easier to do than you might think. Just eat the 3 normal meals we usually eat with smaller portions and between those meals "snack" on a healthy fruit and veggie portion. You end up feeling full for a longer period of time.

@bobissocoollike bread is never needed. try lettuce leaves for sandwiches. don't eat bread at the restaurant. If you have to have pizza, then eat some salad first. try cold cut rolls. Take ham and swiss and roll them and then dip in deli mustard. You will love it and not feel so heavy afterwards.

when you look at the food pyramid its got bread and potatoes on it. Why cut them out?

Hi Jack, thanks for making this video, it really inspired me. Right now I am losing weight too (I am overweight). I don't think you have to completely cut out pasta, potato, bread, but making alternatives such as whole wheat would be better if you have to eat it and control the portions. And like you said make sure you use it properly. For me, I found that eating more during breakfast and lunch, come dinner time I'm never hungry. Good luck and whenever I feel like lazy, i'm watchin this video.

“Don’t do anything while you eat” so like, just sit there and stare at your food like a robot or are you allowed to talk to one another lol

Hello Best thing I ever did was start a Food Diary and a set of Digital kitchen scales. I was over 420 Lbs, The doctors scales didn't go any higher. I am down to about 295 Lbs with a "Target weight" of 265 Lbs at which point I get my Hip OP. (Osteoarthritis in one Hip so can't do the exercises like you can). I am also recently diagnosed type 2 Diabetic. I eat (Plain Boiled) Swede (11 Calories Per 100 Gms) instead of Potatoes (88 Cals Per 100Gms). Both I add a little Salt and Fresh crushed Black Pepper. I do eat Bread, Weight Watchers Brown @ 50 Cals a slice if I make a sandwich, Harvest Grain Fresh @ 100 Cals if I make an Open sandwich. At the moment I do not use Insulin as am controlling it with Medication and Diet, Sorry the "D" word but I have problems exercising so it is my only option. And what you are talking about the Bread, Pasta and Potatoes sounds very much like the Atkins Diet to me. Look it up and you will see what I mean. I live alone and watch TV whilst I eat, I have made my food to fit my Calorie Controlled Diet. I am different from you because I am in the U.K. 6 days a week I rotate 3 Cereals, No sugar with a little Semi Skimmed Milk. As a treat on Sunday I have 2 Scrambled Eggs on Toast (The Harvest Grain). All worked out to 240 Cals. By the way I have no Butter, Margarine or Sugar of any kind in my Flat Andy C

@n2n001 if you are a very active person then yes. less active people should stay away from these carbs. The bread should be whole grain if you do have bread. Potatoes are pretty much useless in your diet. Although I am italian, Pasta is a very heavy starch, too. They just take a lot to burn off. Most people don't burn what they eat.

I'm so happy for you! I usually eat healthy, subscribing to the quote (sorry I forget who) "eat food, not too much, mostly plants". I love that. And by "food" it means real food, not preprocessed, prepackaged, drive-through convenience foods. Luckily we both love to cook so we control what we are eating! I too avoid white, refined starches for the most part but I refuse to live my entire life without potatoes and french bread. Balance! (I understand for a diabetic it has to be different).

Can I ask, is that just true for White bread? or does it apply to Granary as well? Also is Rice an ok or an avoid? Some great tips man, lot of them easy enough and i guess you just never think of

1) workout at least 3 times a week with some dumbbells or anything else 2) eat 1.0-1.5g of protein for every pound of lean body weight 3) and lastly, lower your calorie intake until you lose 1-2 lbs a week For your lean body weight, you need to know your body fat %. Here's an example: 200 lb man with 20% body fat, 200 * 20% = 40 lbs of fat, so that's 160 lbs of lean body mass Losing 1-2 lbs/week is the best amount to lose to prevent the "extra" loose skin from weight loss.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but drinking a glass of water prior to eating helps to kick start the metabolic process; breaking down food quicker.

Gotta agree with you Jack, most diets are gimmicks. I did have weight loss surgery last year but if I didn't eat well and exercise, even surgery is a waste of time. It is a great tool and I'm doing well. Eating well and exercise is a life-long learning process and journey. By the way, with the gastric bypass, diabetes is gone the next day in most cases. Look forward to watching your progress! -Doug

You shouldn't eat sugar or rice either. Sugar is pure carbs.

my healthy tips are: Don't use salt/cut down on it and drink water instead of any sugary soda. If you can't live without coke etc drink water and soda in the mix (1 bottle water, 1 bottle soda, 1 bottle water and so on)

good for you jack! we're rootin' for ya!

Small portions are key. Losing weight isn't just about your diet (Note your diet not A diet), you lose weight when you burn more calories than you consume, and vice versa for putting on weight. You will not lose weight by simply cutting eating habits, exercise is also a key. Snacking on fruits also help. :) Your advice about chewing more is true, although another reason for it is that you become 'fuller' faster. This is a good reason why raisins are great to snack on. Brilliant episode jack.

By the way jack. Another healthy way of eating is to eat slowly. Do you know that when you are eating quick, you are likely to eat more food after that as you will fell hungry after a while. Eat slowly so that you will not get hungry after your meal.

I'm Asian, and food-wise, much of what I eat generally includes carbs and starch in one way or another. However I'm the kind that would generally just stop eating after I feel like I'm full regardless of how good the food is, and as a result, my BMI has been idling just below the recommended BMI for years :x

Good luck Jack. Remember, you can eat unhealthy foods, only in moderation, unless you're on a big workout schedule. This information helped me when I lost 10 pounds.

If you really start to research this, you can find that overall fat is not harmful to your body to a certain extent. It IS better to eat more saturated fat than starch or trans fats. Also it has be proven that coconut oil, is better for you than extracted oils such "vegitable oil, and corn oil".

@brandonllinhares rice is as unhealthy as pasta. Very small amounts are okay, but it is a starch just like the rest. If you burn carbs a lot then have at it. It's not a concern. If you sit around all day then stay away. I heard brown rices might be better than white. Try doing research on the internet.

I agree 100% with mr justin macdonald, moderate portions of those carbs. They are good for you, so if your having a pasta dinner maybe go easy of the carbs earlier in the day. If you have a potatoe go baked, try with veggies and salsa for dinner tres healthy. Watch the salade dressing ! Its hidden calories! Goodluck!

Jack the new intro is cute but if you want to be taken seriously you should avoid the gimmicks! I want you to have a show on network TV as much as you do!

@knucklez2 Whole Grain. Not whole wheat. Use whole grain bread.

Because I live in Asia country, there are alot of rice dishes but I was told that rice makes you fat so I always go for ramen/noodles/pasta or rice vermicelli. But then actually i really have no idea which is more fattening...

I applaud you for trying to eat healthier now! :D good luck!!! My tip is: When you have a plate of food, eat the salad and greens first. It helps you feel fuller and prevents you from eating less of the bad stuff.

another useful tip I've found that works, although it's more of an exercise tip: find a form of exercise that you LOVE. I don't mean one that's tolerable, or even one that you like. I mean LOVE. If you love a form of exercise, then you are going to stick with it. And trust me, there are way more forms of exercise than we give credit to; you're bound to find one that you love. for instance, I lost A LOT of weight when I took up martial arts, which I love.

@nosyt89 it could be both. My mom is diabetic and she didn't get that way until she put on weight. so i think it's both.

@Firter sorry. My mom is only 5ft. she is a short lady but very powerful.

I have to correct you, Jack. Kosher and coarse salt are absolutely *not* better than granulated salt. The salt is chemically identical. However, granulated sat is normally iodized, and iodine is an essential mineral, especially for those who live inland and can't afford expensive ocean fish.

you know what jack well done for making a video about this because with all the new foods out there that are made in labs and totaly nasty are making more and more kids around the world obese (i hope i spelt it right) and your showing a good example on how to eat healthy but still enjoy food nd i think that its very good that you are are taking part in changing your diet and that shows us your viewrs that you are commited and hopefuly more and more of us will chang our diet too! love the intro

Dont starve yourself because then the body goes into panic survival mode and it holds on to every thing that you eat. And also if its not what youre eating thats bad, its the ammount, Cut every thing you would normally eat in half.

The problem is: a lot of fitness experts agree that it's not the weight that is the problem - it's inches! A lot of people have lost 2, 3, and more inches, but have gained because of increased muscle mass. Advertising insists on weight; therefore "the 20 minute workout" gurus (shills?) use weight loss as a come on! it can be a trap! In healthy "weight loss" the tape measure is FAR more important than the bathroom scale! Jack; to confess my sins, I'm a sometime watcher and I hope all has worked out for you! John Shaw Calgary Ab. Can

i have a typ, with every meal eat soem vegetables, even 3 slices of tomatoes, always eat YOUR breakfast, dont drink drinks like coca cola, fanta etd .. , they have alot of sugar, jsut drink fresh water

Quit soda completely. I cut soda from my diet and by just doing that, and this is with NO EXTRA EXERCISE, I lost nearly 10 pounds. This encouraged me to do more like eat less and work out and a few months later I am 30 pounds lighter.

Good Luck on your Journey to Better Health!

Good stuff Jack. In addition to your eating tips I'd recommend anyone looking to get in shape and live healthy to combine it with a basic workout programme (Stronglift's 5x5 is great for example). I had tremendous success losing fat (which is more important than losing weight btw) since I started doing it. And you don't have to cut out carbs completely. For example I eat them post-workout only (rice, pasta etc). That's okay as long as you eat lot's of healthy stuff all day.

@Firter this actually may be right to some point but when you do boil it, it breaks down the walls that hold the vitamins in which makes it a lot easier to break down. Some people say that it more healthy to not boil them but it is a lot harder for your body to break it down, then there the chance of your body not being able to break it down. So needless to say when you do boil it, yes it does destroy the nutrients but your body will break it down a lot faster and digest it faster.

Yay a new opening great episode as always man

Also, great advice with ruining dinner, eating small portions throughout the day helps keep your metabolism active, so when it's finished with whatever you've eaten it'll start on any stored fat inside of you. Thanks for the great tips!

Wow jack, i always thought that you don't care about eating healthy because of the things you were cooking (Bacon explosion, lazy mans pasta, the multi layer dip) but now i know that my opinion about you was totaly wrong. thanks for the tips, i will try to adapt them in th future. Greetings and good luck with losing weight in the future from Germany :)

I drink nothing but water, I still eat my favorite foods but no fast food, all of it is home cooked and I don't eat excess amounts of it. When you exclude your favorite foods, your mind is gonna go crazy when you change your regular eating habits and after a while, most of the time people will give in and eat more and gain the weight back, so if you set yourself to eat what you want, then your mind will remained balanced and you won't go crazy, add lots of exercise and you'll be losing weight.

JACK. You might this piece of info helpful to know about drinking too much water before and during your meals: "Liquids taken during meals can dilute digestive enzymes and stomach acids and these are essential to break down the food and absorb nutrients. As it's harder to break down the food, the stomach may produce more acids, which could result in heartburn or acid reflux."

another tip is to eat a small (1/2 to one cup) before the main meal. Try and do this with very little dressing. The lettuce will turn to gelatin in your intestines and that makes digestion easier and the extra bulk in your stomach will help you to eat less.

Love both your jackonthego and jakatak69 new intro! Epic!

Before iodized salt was available, people *died* from lack of iodine in the diet.

5 small portions a day, instead of 3 large meals is the most common, especially among weight lifters. Theres a saying "Feed the furnace" The furnace being your body, you cant just dump everything in one go, it isnt efficient. Constantly feeding your self when you need the energy thats why 5 small portions a day is effective and recommended by every weight lifter, and every fitness expert. Diet is a poor word, its just avoid pre made products i.e salted snacks and packet foods.

stay way from low fat things cause they've usually added sugar in it, also stay away mayo,dressing, ready made dips etc. they also contains a lot of fat and other unhealthy things. have vegetables or fruits as snacks instead of candy. but remember that some unhealthy food are ok to have once in a while.

Jack does water with real lemonade put In help lose weight.

Seriously good advice there Jack and good luck! My only add on would be that you need carbs if you're going to do any serious cardio work. I'm about to do 30km and I had rice and chicken a few hours ago and it works great for me.

I like that beginning. I like eating healthy but lets be honest Organic is hard to eat when you can only buy half as much organic for the price of processed. I hate that! sorry to hear about you having diabetes THAT SUX. I have a problem though my wife loves all the don'ts lol and I'm trying to gain weight not loose. Any Ideas on how I could "GAIN" weight the Healthy way? GOOD EPISODE HELPFUL TIPS. I don't have a dutch oven but we are gonna be doing the LAZY MANS roast soon.

jack you are wrong you should say "stay away from white bread and white pasta" bec there is wheat bread oat bread and they don turn to sugar

I personally think that whole grain pasta is good. Can't really go wrong with some whole grain pasta with veggies and capers and so on. Just have to eat in moderation (like most other things).

cut out soft drinks, i found out i was diabetic April 22 this year and haven't had any soft drinks since then (i used to drink 2 liters a day) not changing any other eating habbit other then that I've lost over 30 lbs by July 15th this year.

I dont have big meals for breakfast lunch or dinner, I eat a little bit every hour or so and that keeps me not hungry so i wont eat a lot and speeds up my metabolism

@richthecardude94 Jerky (most) isn't unhealthy for you. It's a great source of protein and as long as you use lean cuts of meat and not too much marinade.. very low in fat and carbs.

@danielc365 Carbohydrates should make up roughly 50% of your daily intake of calories. Grains are the best source of carbs which is why it is recommended that you have at least 1 serving per day. Fruits and veggies are also a great source of carbohydrates.

I really enjoy seeing this after watching him years later force a burger from wendys in his face, with one arm because he lost the use of the other.

lets continue =).lots of tips+like i said eating those arnt good for your body. but it helps when u are feeling really hungry.forcing yourself not to eat junk food when no other food are available in our pantry when u're hungry are just gonna make you have some illness next time. go google it =PP cant type a whole bunch out,.. sandwiches are good for you when you eat them without bacon,oily stuff. but be sure to exercise! it helps.your body will use those carbs> sugar as energy.

What about sweet potatoes or yams

I have been Type 2 for 15 years. I have not had any serious complications so far but I'm 59 so anything can happen. My last A1c was 7.3 which is not too bad. . I test my blood sugar EVERY DAY. You have to do this. You have to take your pills EVERY DAY. And you have to know what a certain blood test number means for you. People are different. Know what is too low and too high for you. There is a great TV show called DLife on CNBC diabetics need to watch, also DLife.com. Thnx for show.

One tip: Use chopsticks because they force you to eat slowly.

you are so right in everything you said.... thanks for reminding me to do it all again....to .be disciplined

Good luck with the weight loss journey Jack!

That is this type of wonderful source that you're offering and you also provide apart for free.

@koropoklover I don't know what Jack would say, but AFAIK, If you knock out the cream and go to skim milk, then it shouldn't be that fattening anymore.

These tips are fire 🔥

@Wildcatbeer your right. My daily life, I don't need as much carbs. If your normally a runner, then you need that fuel. I totally agree.

I have a tip!!!!!!!! Get your milk from a farm because when they heat it up to clean it the good stuff go dose mot stay

@SixtyNineOfSpades we try to finish eating by 6pm. I totally agree.

@WilliamAdolfsson skateboarding is a great bread burner. Keep it up. Very good for burning food.

Jack, you told us not to eat potatoes, bread or pasta. But what carbohydrate source do you recommend then?

If you can, restrict your alcohol consumption. Lots of bad calories

i think people might want the big boss grill because it costs more =D LOL

and the scale says.... TO BE CONTINUED

Jack, if you are interested. I have a regiment I created that helped me lose weight if you are interested. You don't even have to sacrifice the food products, just do it in proportions.

Really, really helpful tips.

i don't agree on all potatoes. Sweet potatoes are low glycemic and great for you.

pasta arent bad ! if you make some fresh home made pasta its good. You should avoid butter , trust me
