Your case proves that if you are in caloric deficit you will lose weight no matter what you eat. You even can lose weight by eating table sugar with bacon if you eat less energy than what your body uses. It's the law of thermodynamics. It doesn't mean it's optimal or healthy.
@@amparoada I really didn't know specifics on that. I grew them and they looked a lot like collards. "Asian greens" was the name on the packet.I first got the seed from Baker Seed Company. I raise my own after the first packet.
I rarely snack these days, but when I do, it's more often than not a small handful of macadamia nuts (olives and dill pickles are my other go-to). The only problem with these nuts is it's hard to eat just a small quantity. I always have to establish discipline when munching on them, as they're so friggin tasty. BTW, I always buy the Costco dry roasted bag. Very reasonably priced for what you get.
me too. It's always hard to put the bag away after 1 serving or so ...ugh. I bought some today from house of macadamias and hoping the bag sizes will help me eat a smaller quantity
I was hoping you’d say Macadamia! I’ve all but abstained from nuts and seeds and their oil since watching more Dr Paul Saladino after you interviewed him but Macs have the lowest amount of linoleic acid, taste the best, and naturally cost limiting from over consumption.
My diet for the last yr is omad,eggs,beef,and 6to8 0z of macadamia nuts. The results are great but macadamia has always been my favorite and wit keto i can get my fats in easy. I was 270lbs now I'm 177 lbs fasted 6ft2 in the am.
Congrats on 100 lbs weight loss!! You might want to think about varying your eating windows now and even taking a day or two off. Thomas was immensely helpful after I started my journey (Sinclair’s Lifespan kicked it off) and several of his videos discuss metabolism and fasting. It’s hard to deviate though. I lost about 60lbs on keto hence why it took me 4 years to deviate from that.
Excellent Video! I picked some up the first time I watched this and just added them to my keto desert bars (Lily's chocolate over pumpkin seeds, almonds, brazil nuts)
For me, macadamia nuts are like highly palatable junk food in that once I start eating them I can't stop. Raw cashews are another one like that. So even though they are far from junk, I keep well away.
I just switched to macadamian nuts about a week ago. I started snacking on Costco mixed nuts and had a constant migraine. Almonds have tyramine. I could not shake my Migraine. But when I quit snacking on Almonds, walnuts, pecans and Brazil nut my Migraine left. Blood sugar seems to be improving too!
Carnivore (mostly beef with some egg) + macadamia nuts. Never felt better. Getting lots of the fat from Mac nuts help keep the LDL low on an otherwise carnivore diet.
I have macadamia trees on my property. Tough job cracking them.. some species of macadamia are actually poisonous.. Australian nuts are the best. Grown by owners.. locally..
I actually did go nuts. I left 320 lbs in my past and now weigh 195 at 6’2” after I changed my nutrition to mostly nuts. I break my fast with 4 walnuts, 3 almonds, 1 Brazil nut (for the brain), 1 cashew nut, 1 hazelnut, 5 pistachios, 1 macadamia nut and one pecan nut.
Unfortunately most avocado oils you buy are either so processed that it's rather harmful than healthy or not avocado oil at all. It is a big business with no regulation and zero repercussion for the company if they get caught cheating.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial what about Pili nuts? What happened to those; you used to talk about them some. I want to see a comparison between macadamia and pili nuts.
I gained so much weight eating macademia nuts. I couldn't stop eating a whole bag from Costco in two days sitting around without exercise. I was strict keto and macademia was all I was eating, no carbs, legumes, no fruits, water and coffee to drink. Continuous eating macademia without fasting, just eating non-stop from morning to bedtime. Also very expensive. If you can't stop eating macademia, you will get fat no matter what.
over the past week or so i've taken to having varying forms of nuts for breakfast and a glass of water. normally i use the mixed ones that has almonds and so on in it. in the past i would do oats and sultanas but that was feeling a bit too "Heavy" first thing, i find the nuts seem to be nicest in terms of not making me feel "Weighty" and "Slow" whilst also making me feel fairly satisfied in terms of hunger, so for me at least i think nuts seem to be a nice thing to have for breakfast, few handfuls glass of water and im done for a hours or so.
Can you comment on Macadamia nut oil please more. I been using on my salads and I lost 4 lbs to 168lbs I also have a six pack abs at age 60. I do keto and 16/8 IF.
Thank You Thomas, I'm trying to change to Keto diet, and I'm on a Calorie diet of 1500 cal. per day, no sugars, plus daily exercise program. Oh by the way I'm 72 yrs old. Keep giving us the information to become healthier. Macadamia Nuts have no taste, I guess that's why I never ate them much. Love Walnuts!
Appreciate the video and the science. Your videos almost always inspire me to go further. However, I’m going to take a hard pass on Macadamias. I have 3 dogs and these nuts are highly toxic to them. I would never want to have them accidentally ingest them for the sake of a few pounds on my end. I’ll find something else. Also banned from my house is xylitol (most sugar free gums), grapes, and raisins. For the same reason.
And yet, almonds are higher in protein, higher in antioxidants, especially vitamin E, higher in fiber, and there are much more robust RCTs that show the benefits of almonds in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
My favorite nut is the macadamia nut. If I have to sneak. But I usually just eat 5 eggs everyday after my 20 hr fast everyday. My first carb is at dinner.
I’ve recently started consuming cold pressed hempseed oil fail, usually on a salad, fir the omega and anti-inflammatory effects. I would love to hear your thoughts on hempseed oil Thomas!
@Emily Barry Boswellia is EXCELLENT for inflammation of course with high quality Omega 3's. FINALLY found this excellent Anti-inflammatory with Boswellia and other awesome ingredients called KappArest by Biotics Research... have shared with friends and family and everyone agrees, just thought I would share with you if interested in an excellent anti-inflammatory 😊 Also if interested check out Dr. Mandell's video from 2017 on Boswellia and watch it twice! You will be blown away...
*Wheeeeew!........Got in my Thumbs up in at # 665* *Also; Good thing I have a 25 year old, abundantly prolific, Macadamia Nut Tree!* *Home grown is the best!*
Right! Be insulin resistance not have nuts our something muscle potencyal unsually crash junkfood for not have lose fat 3,5 week timing to weight body.
Thermodynamics doesn't apply to a complex system that is the human body. When you have high cortisol level, doesn't matter how little you eat. I have a family member who couldn't lose wait even while fasting due to cortisol/stress levels. That had to be brought down first.
If you can only eat 1 oz of nuts and then say no, more power to you lol. If I get a can of cashews they are gone in two days... I can't help myself when it comes to cashews and peanuts....
Yes. It is very easy to over consume nuts. They are very calorie dense and delicious. However you don't have to stop eating a potentially healthy food group, you just have to learn to control how much you eat. As someone has already pointed it out peanuts are in the legume category.
Yep he is exactly right at the very end of this video: Fats are high in fat and kcals (very nutrient dense food) so you have to be careful of not eating too many of them especially if you are trying to lose weight. I eat like 6 macadamia nuts a day at the tail end of my first meal of the day (2pm).
The link doesn't give you a discount. It asks you to add a code. I tried THOMAS. It rejected it. I hate the hassle and wasted time. I'll stick with Costco macadamias. When you get them home, roast them in the oven at 325 for about 15 minutes to give them better flavor.
Dear Thomas, I appreciate all you're trying to do, nevertheless I hope that you realize with these daily videos you oversaturate the viewers. Maybe 2-3 times a week would be more prudent?
Interesting video untill I checked the ingredients of that sponsor's macademia bars and saw, guess what ? Sunflower lecithin which is most probably inflammatory.... Any word about that, Thomas ?
"Too much calories coming from nuts to begin with?" Where should they come from then, if you are trying to be a pescatarian, or even a vegetarian? I thought you could just eat nuts and some non-starchy vegetables with fish/whey protein isolate and be done with it.
JK. It's only bad with big blocks of text or large sentences. I know some fonts only have capitals. Returning to the video subject, love macadamias but they are not cheap here and I also can't just eat a small quantity of it. Once I start it's hard to stop eating but mixing nuts with my salad kind of works.
So you are saying to get about 20% of your daily calories from omega-3's, I'm just wondering how that comes into play when you actively take an omega-3 supplement? The specific ones I take show 15 calories for a serving, but you are getting a highly concentrated dose of omega-3. Getting the omega-3 from your actual diet is supposed to be better, but it's not always feasible. So what would your advice be on that?
