nobody in India makes butter chicken with chicken breast... you guga makes me hate yourself by making worst butter chicken ... 👎👎👎👎 worst then JAMIE OLIVER
Considering his audience, Guga getting fit and promoting it is probably more effective to motivate people to get into better shape than any fitness influencer out there. Nice work! Keep it up! You should start doing colabs with some of them.
@@larochejaquelein3680 Hmm, I didn't know that. While it would have been nice if he was more up front about it in his videos (I could have missed it though), this method he is talking about will still work for nearly everyone. The short version is stay in a calorie deficit, prioritize protein, and eat more veggies.
@@larochejaquelein3680 i've used this, it isn't a magic fix. Also I don't know how you missed the part where he cut down on calories and worked out for 1-2 hours a day. Anyone who does this will lose weight.
Which you can lose weight with... just gotta cut the carbs and sugars. Crazy how people still believing the nutrition propaganda from the 50's. I lost weight with Keto... but I'm not even big so I had to up by carb count. I was constantly eating Beef.
@@Under-Kaoz it's not an ad hominum cuz I made a point to your argument. It doesn't matter which calories you cut, but fat has more calories per gramm which is why it's easier to get in a deficit with restricting fetts (u can restrict carbs too obviously)
@@48pluto That's a massive oversimplification of the problem. There are things that have "empty" calories, cravings that you need to satisfy in order not to abandon your diet, and more. And good luck eating half a burger.
@@MaskedDeath_ You make it over complicated. That helps no one. If one wants to accomplish something it can be done. Water has zero calories. You can die from drinking too much water. If you have over weight walk 5 miles to the mcdonalds. eat your burger and walk 5 miles back to home. And do that every time. I guarantee you will loose weight.
@@48pluto Your comment isn't helpful. Choosing to eat lower calorie options makes it much easier to have a calorie deficit. It would take you a half marathon to burn off a Big Mac meal. This said, I also am appreciative of this type of content and I hope that guga will continue to post it. Would even love to see a new channel focusing on low calorie recipes.
@@48pluto Everyone is different. Some people don't have that time to walk 5 miles or be active at all. It's not fair to say it's common sense, if you don't have the option. Calorie counting helps. Substitutions for slightly lower calorie options help. Slightly reducing portion sizes and or splitting up meals can help. It's a journey and not a quick fix. In most cases, fighting the feeling of being hungry, is the bigger struggle. Aside from drinking black coffee, most want to stay away from other appetite suppressants. The option that made the rounds, might be way out of normal people's price point. And I highly oppose the idea of trying to make it yourself.
Guga, your dry aged myself video really inspired me to start working out more and watching what I eat. Thank you so much for everything these past years 🙏❤
I'm loving these videos Guga! I'm currently 10lb in to my own 100lb weight loss, and your first video "I Dry Aged Myself" was super motivating as I started my journey. This just proves you don't have to sacrifice flavour when on a diet
I lost 20 lbs last year but I put 10 back on this year. I recently resumed my journey, hoping to lose 20 more, for a total of 30 lbs. It doesn't sound as much, but it is hard to keep up in the long term, especially with kids. Guga is indeed an inspiration.
Digging the meal-prep vibe of this video, maybe do some more like that? Also 8:29 I see Guga is a man of culture as well 👌Oh, he's talking about chicken... Right...
Very proud of you dude. Losing weight is one of the best decisions i have ever made and I'm happy to see how you're doing! One note: Sugar doesn't have alot of calories. It has the same amount of calories as protein (4kcal/g), while fat has ALOT (9kcal/g). But sugar is much less satiating and also it doesn't keep you full nearly as long as protein, due to a number of factors. That is one of the reason why you want to avoid sugar, not because of the amount of kalories but because it's easier to overeat.
YES! PLEASE! More of your Go-to's from your Get Healthy Toolbox! My family is on the same journey! We are new subscribers! Blessings, Health, Prosperity and Peace to you and yours, and to all who read this! 👍😘😇💖
Guga, i think i can speak for the silent majority of us folk that are struggling with weight/weightloss that these videos are incredibly inspiring to me, please id love to see more content like this
4:15 An air fryer is just a small convection oven that's been turned into a uni-tasker due to it's form factor. A lot of higher end counter top ovens have convection, and even then the highest you'll go in price like $300 which is the same as an air fryer.
Going back to when you were cooking in the office, the idea of you doing a whole video saying awesome things about chicken seems insane. So impressed by you.
Please hit us with more diet recipes, really love these ones. Throwing in flavor while prioritizing protein and keeping calories low is just wonderful and very hard :D
The difference in calories between chicken and steak is rather trivial assuming the rest of your diet is low in sugars and junk you have easily used steak to accomplish the same results.
Not true. While the calories between 4oz of chicken breast, and 4 Oz of sirloin steak is only about 40 calories. (Larger difference with fattier cuts of beef.) the amount of fat and protein is wildly different. If you are losing weight your body is already flooding your liver with fats. Because you are in a calorie deficit your body must burn your body fat, and that all goes into the liver, which is already struggling for overweight people. So low fat is key, not to overtax your liver. And chicken has 10 less grams of fat per serving. Nevermind that Guga is weight training and working on building muscle. And you need protein for that. Chicken breast has 11 more grams of protein per serving than a sirloin steak would. Also that extra 40 calories difference can go a long way in vegetable sides to help get more nutrients, and stay full longer.
@@borderlandsveteran I beg to differ, this wasn't an opinion. I literally lost 90lbs last year doing exactly what I said. Not only that but I was mainly eating steak and fruit.. So you might think you have the data and numbers on it but you don't because I'm living proof to the opposite. I think the culprit is a misunderstanding of fat intake and content in the liver that causes the confusion. ?
@@borderlandsveteran Fat has accounted for nearly half our macro intake for millions of years of evolution, more than protein. The liver is a champ at processing fat and it will take a lot more than that to "overtax it" (barring some kind of liver condition). This is especially true of animal fat, which the digestive system is highly efficient at deriving nutrients from unlike carbs. When you consume more calories than your body needs, the excess energy is stored in the body as fat regardless of the macro type, so the OP's statement is very much correct.
@@remnant24 you speak of healthy people, not overweight people. And a lot of overweight people have problems with fatty livers. But I see you completely ignored the part of about Guga weightlifting and how Chicken has 11 more grams of protein per serving over beef. But go off.
@@LimitedState at no point did I say you couldn’t lose weight, I see you purposely misconstruing my reply. I said that it is not true that steak can be substituted and get the exact same results. You have to adjust your diet to accommodate steak because it’s got significantly less grams of protein, and much higher fat. Not everyone’s weight loss journey is the same, and you can’t just copy paste your results onto another. Someone who is trying to build muscle like Guga explicitly stated he was in his video is going to want to reach for chicken breast which is 79% protein. Which is much much higher than steak. It just is. Plain numbers. 37% more protein over steak for the same portion. If you don’t consume enough protein while losing weight your body canabalizes your muscles. For the amount of calories, (40 less than steak) Guga gets 37% more protein. And protein not only builds muscle through weight loss, but it keeps you full longer, so you don’t have as many cravings. You would have to adjust your steak diet to either consume more steak, or take supplements, or eat other foods (more calories) to supplement the diminished protein content. It’s just not a plain, “sub it out, it’s just as good situation.”
Wow, congrats Guga! I thought about doing this and you are making me believe it will work. I began the year with chicken recipes but now I'm ready to do it again.... cheap and versatile.
I am blessed. Been focusing on weight loss just the last 4 months, going from never giving a damn my entire life. Been a fan of this channel for a while, long before trying to lose weight. Now, in the same time period I'm losing weight, my favorite food channel is teaching me recipes that goes perfectly with my calorie deficit and protein needs. I couldn't have asked for more!
Guga you look like a beast bro. When I had to lose weight for a judo tournament in 7th grade I ate nothing but canned tuna and lettuce with no dressing for a week and I lost 10 pounds. I was still working out everyday so for people reading this don't think you can just eat healthy and stay lazy. This video shows that you can enjoy food and be healthier if you put equal effort into both exercise AND cooking techniques.
I would love to see more videos of this type. Trying to lose some weight with good food and exercise and need some inspo! Would love to follow these recipes! ❤️
I lost a lot of weight just eating steak, bacon, eggs, butter, and cheese. Carnivore diet. It's amazing. You can fry foods just make sure it's in animal fat. Breading? Use pork skins
@@Moo_is_cute When eating a diet high in steak, bacon, butter, and eggs, fiber is not nearly as important as it is when you are eating a standard diet. Carnivore diet typically results in fewer, smaller and less frequent bowel movements (primarily due to the body absorbing such a high percentage of what you eat), but does not typically result in constipation or other digestive problems (especially once you get past and shock of a total diet change that is typically done in the first week or so)
Please Guga, make a whole series about these recipes! I have to lose weight but after years of trying I never reached the goal just because no matter how much I try with being creative, it's difficult for a guy that loves good food to just eat rice and chicken breast every day. (I don't eat junk food or snacks, but my main dishes are usually good dishes and usually delicious = calories). The real problem is that who makes fit recipes or healty recipes are PTs or doctors who don't think about giving good recipes but only on macros and calories. As I like to say: They eat to live well, we (I think most of this community and also you) live for eating well. If you can achive eating well and living well at the same time I think anybody can follow a diet, and you got to the point! I never had hype to follow some fit recipes like now, Thank you Guga!
I recommend just cutting out the carbs and sugar. Then increase your protein intake. It'll help keep you fuller longer and you won't have to count calories. Just limit your eating time to an 8 hour window or only eat once a day. Typically, I'll eat 1 ilb of meat, eggs, dairy and I won't be hungry again till the following day. I'm down 16ilbs and I feel great. I still have another 50-70ilbs to go.
A few tips that can help is to have a large glass of water before the meal, and also start by eating a good portion of veg. This way you won't be as hungry when eating the main course, naturally reducing portion sizes. Salsa is great, and most variants are low calory high flavor. Gordon Ramsay has a pretty nice broccoli soup that can be used as an appetizer/snack before the meal to lose weight. Making protein shakes is a good way too, as they are usually high satiety with low calorie. Frozen raspberry and chocolate protein powder is a favorite of mine, often helps make the not fantastic flavor more palatable. I've seen several people have success with just adding a bit of healthy stuff first, so they have a bit less appetite for high calorie food later, without needing to actually change what they eat. Beyond that: Chinese style steamed fish(Qing zheng yu), can be a fantastic low energy dish. Congee is another low calorie classic, which has a lot of potential for creativity and variation.
Guga, I really love this new stuff with fitness. Your cooking expertise while you share super tasty meals that are very calorie friendly is a dream. Please keep making these for us, someone like me is so appreciative of this.
Yeah, the chicken is low calories so it's what he chose to eat on the diet and making it taste nice is a way to encourage yourself to stick with the diet further more the type or recipes may have been a hunger suppressor ,please stop being a sour know it all this man is a kind man and doesn't need a correction he didn't ask for.
@@ARFed I don't know how much pound in kg, but steel definitely heavier, try to get hit with 1 pound of steel, 1 pound of feather would feel like nothing compared :)
@@vl4dl3nthey weren’t talking about the quantity, they were just talking about the weight. 1 pound cannot be heavier or lighter than 1 pound, they are equal weight.
@@Nebulynx994 A also said nothing about quantity/volume etc. It was a joke about how would it feel. "1 pound cannot be heavier or lighter than 1 pound" but that depends on where you buying and if seller is fair :D
i already liked your vids but because i was on a diet i would make them 3 times a month, but this chicken dishes are right up my alley. keep up the work itll pay off, and im really liking this recipes to help me too.
Guga this was an incredible video. I love how very quick and practical these recipes are. A diet that is miserable at mealtime is a diet destined to fail. Thank you for these recipes i especially am going to try your cheat butter chicken.
Hey Guga, I really enjoy watching your videos and I take heavy inspiration to my dishes mostly from your side dishes. So I wanted to ask you, if possible, to make something like a compilation video of your side dishes cause searching that specific one across all your videos would be quite troublesome. Either way keep up the good work and good luck!
That tip about chopping the veggies ahead of time is SO true. I do everything I can ahead of time on Sundays so that when it comes to making dinner during the week I just grab stuff, assemble, and heat.
Thank you Guga and team for the amazing content as always 💪 Myself and my fiancé have been entertained while we eat for over 4 years!! Not to forget that you have changed the steak game for us😁 Much love brother, all the way from South Africa ❤ @GugaFoods
I love cornflake chicken! I lost the original recipe and instead started combining a couple for my favorite. Mine is not as healthy as yours, but I still love it. And I’ve had friends ask for the recipe. I also add paprika, pepper, seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard.
Looking good, sir. Might I suggest looking into tagine. While the term now include the dishes classically cooked in one, the conical Moroccan slow cooker brings juicy to a new level. Give your meat a sear; then add diced onion. To this add spices, longer cooking veggies, and liquid. At the end, add your fast cooking veggies. Done right, the meat will be succulent due to the unique braise/steam cook while the veggies will be tender or crisp and the remainder cooked into an incredible sauce.
You’re looking awesome brotha. Thankfully I’ve never had a problem with weight, but it’s good to know that there’s delicious food to eat if I ever need to lose some😂
Hi Guga, I am on a diet now from 300 pounds and lost 10 pounds in 12 days this video was like a God sent to me. Thanks man and congratulations, you look healthy.
If your supermarket has chicken quarters legs cut up for you, those are also excellent in an air fryer. Add your compound butter on top (or under the skin) when resting and you got a low calorie and satisfying meal.
I live with someone that is counting calories. They tend to slip after a couple weeks because of cravings. I think these 4 will be a big hit. I'm going to need more GUGA!
I find it funny that he said the reason he ate chicken instead of steak is because it has less calories. I lost a bunch of weight on a carnivore diet and all I ate was ribeye steaks and ground beef in different forms. Carnivore diet is so easy because there is no calorie counting. Just eat until you are full and when I got home at night, I'd eat half of what I ate for breakfast. Lost 60lbs in just a few months.
For two years all I ate everyday was 200g of Chicken breast and a steamable bag of California Medley. 3 Times a day. It wasn't bad tbh but I wish I had these recipes back then.
Hey guga. Super proud of you for sticking through to it. I pray it becomes a lfiestyle change and less of a diet/chore overtime for you too😊❤ 80 pounds lost here. Trying to get to sub 10% body fat. Powering through to my 3rd year.
I was in great physical shape until I had 3 back surgeries in a 4 year period (between 2010-2014)-I weighed about 170 (height 5’6”)…17” biceps…didn’t quite have a 6-pack…but pretty close; and a 32/33” waist. Since the last surgery, in particular (which I had just 6 months before retiring from a 25+ year military career), I’ve struggled with weight. I’m at around 225 pounds now with a “beer” gut and a 40-42” waist.
Brother, I feel you. Even being physically disabled now, the hardest thing is getting my mentality right and just getting up and putting the work in. Good luck to you.
Thank you for these chicken recipes. I've been looking for some that look relatively easy to prep & cook. I also love the air fryer setting of my oven.
Please do more chicken recipes, Guga! Our new favorite involves marinating cubed boneless chicken breast in lowfat Greek yogurt, with garlic, paprika , salt, pepper, cumin and garam masala. I skewer the cubes and cook on the grill or in the air fryer. The yogurt seems to tenderize the chicken and the spices give it a little boost.... Eating healthy but not suffering. Sundays we do some big ole steaks on the grill ;) Thanks for the video, Guga!
Phenomenal job with your weight loss Journey and Congratulations on 100 pounds off! Like yourself, I stray away from chicken because it gets so boring. Definitely going to give these a try to increase lean chicken consumption. But as always, beef is king!
