Eggs

“I know. Whole eggs, dude. It's so good for you. It's so good for his brain. It's so good for everything. Yeah. It's just funny that she was like scared that he's eating four whole eggs. I'm like, you know, again, he could have eaten a whole cake.”

“I noticed this myself. It's like, I can have dairy. You watch me crush all the push it too much. But if I push it too much, the same with eggs. I can have eggs, but if I have too many eggs, yeah. And so just playing around with that. And we just, I don't care how perfect of programming you have, if you don't give the body the material to go build.”

“Parkinson's disease, too, right? Talk about that. Yeah. But just to finish the animal foods. And so then you have, I think, eggs and poultry and butter are kind of next down on the list, not quite as good as the others. And then I put unprocessed red meat below that, actually.”

“The guidelines say eat real food. Get your protein from a range of sources, from a range of plant sources, animal sources, soy, lentils, legumes, meat, dairy, eggs. They kind of, you know, cover all of that. But what industry is doing is taking that message and putting protein in Pop-Tarts, putting protein in Starbucks and Dunkin' sugary drinks,”

“and taste really good. All right, next, we're going to hit a really high satiety-producing food. Eggs. Eggs really produce a lot of this is why when people eat three eggs, they're like, that was a big breakfast. When you look at like the total calories and protein in three eggs, it's not a lot.”

“I mean, it'll fill up a large plate of eggs. Eggs produce a lot of, if you look at the satiety index, eggs are really, really high. They're also very nutrient-dense. They're good for you. It's a great source of protein, good for building muscle, good for recovery. But like you just said, six eggs is 40 grams of protein and you eat that for breakfast.”

“One of the first things when I've been dieting, you go to bed hungry and then you wake up really hungry and wanting something like that. Four eggs with two to four ounces, depending on like where your size is, of a lean cut meat mixed in with some salsa over the top of it is like a go-to.”

“You just change the portions. So, we'll start with the first food, which is eggs. So, eggs are super inexpensive. People have referred to eggs as being nature's multivitamin. Whole eggs are incredibly nutrient-dense. That's one of the only complete foods.”

“The protein quality is the best that you can find. Whey and eggs, some of the best you can find. They're phenomenal. And again, they're super versatile and they're very inexpensive. So eggs at the top for sure. And again, a bulk farmer's market.”

“four old eggs, threw some onions, threw an ounce of cheese on it. And I've got this like incredible omelet now that's super high protein, a good amount of healthy fats, low carbohydrates, like so, so good, you know, and eat fast.”

“You can freeze the meats. The cottage cheese will last a little while. It's got a little bit of eggs, will last a little while. Potatoes last a long time. White rice lasts a long time. Actually, do you know that eggs from an actual chicken, if you go to like a farmer's market like that, do not get refrigerated and will last up?”

“Well, so I, we, your cousin was telling us about this. Yeah. There's like a solution that you can put them in. Oh. That will allow you to have eggs. But they get like 50 a day. Apparently you deal with 50 a day. If you don't wash them, they last a long time. Yeah, you can't wash them. You can't wash them.”

“So you want to eat some high complete protein to calorie ratio proteins. So, you know, eggs, lean meat, fish. And then everyone knows you need fiber, right? So vegetables and fruits. But what I will say is that many people who remove starches entirely or remove vegetables entirely will find that their autoimmune issues resolve.”

“And if you told that to your cardiologist, they would absolutely freak out. So I eat a whole food diet. I eat a lot of whole eggs. I eat grass-fed meats, pasture-raised eggs, free-range chicken. I eat a lot of vegetables. I saute them in grass-fed butter and will sometimes add olive oil to my meals.”

“So second, win in the morning because the morning sets the chemistry for the whole day. Eat 30 grams of protein within an hour of waking before any coffee, before anything sweet. Eggs, Greek yogurt, a protein shake, whatever you'll actually do. Protein blunts the blood sugar swings that drive afternoon and evening cravings.”

“like chocolate. Because back then, chocolate was bad, carob was good, and it was not good. Got hard-boiled Easter eggs. It was, well, we were plant-based most of the time, which made it even worse. So if it was a hard-boiled Easter egg, it was made out of tofu. Oh, so, so I didn't even know what inflammatory bowel disease was in 1995, 1996.”

“I'm surviving on raw dairy. I'm surviving on grass-fed meat. I'm mixing raw eggs in my smoothies. You know, like this is things I'm doing in the 90s. And I didn't have money. I didn't have any certainly career prospects, but there's something powerful about watering faith with the seeds of hope.”

“So, I didn't have them all born to us. Raw dairy, staple in our home, raw eggs. We have our own farm, so we get our own. How do you do the raw eggs? Um, I usually use mostly yolks and I'll put them in smoothies or I'll make puddings or ice cream.”

“And I had studied sort of the early Weston price work. So I was all in. So all of these things. So raw salmon, raw meats, raw chicken, raw eggs. I've never said this publicly, Gary, but I can't lie. I did eat raw chicken once. Between you and me and whatever you eat, whoever I can tell.”

“raw eggs, raw fish, um, and fermented vegetables, um, honey, maple syrup, uh, not even uh, uh, berries, and has been the custodian of very similar stories to yours.”

“We prioritize water buffalo or Asian buffalo, which is so amazing. I love eggs. We have our own eggs and we feed them over 100 nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables a day. The food scraps from Sprouts Farmers Market. So we don't feed them any grain and they're amazing.”

“Eat the skin if it's a pasteurized or organic chicken. I love eggs. Make sure to consume them whole, but if you use them raw in smoothies, just the yolk. Bread needs to be just the yolk and smoothies raw. And why is that? The egg white contains something called avidin, which can bind to biotin.”

“Like, and when I do it, it's just like so. It's not completely runny, but the yolk is very runny. I love the eggs. They're making me hungry. Yeah, yeah. And then I love dark-colored fruits. Pomegranates, berries are great. I love consuming vegetables that are really fruits, like squashes and zucchini, et cetera.”

“Yeah, so I wasn't vegan until 20 years ago. So I would have dairy. But do you ever eat eggs? Never. No? You know, if you have your own chickens, it's a pretty karma-free food. Yeah. It's like I have chickens. I have 19 chickens, and they're pets.”

“They go in their nest boxes, and they lay eggs. And then you just gather the eggs. The eggs will never be a chicken because they're not fertilized. It's just food. Yeah. It's just free food. I mean, it's not free. You pay for chicken food, and you take care of them and all that stuff. But, I mean, in terms of like it's karma-free.”

“Like literally no one is getting hurt. The chickens will lay an egg almost every day. Yeah. And so we have like baskets of eggs in my house. We always have eggs. I think for whatever – for whatever reason, now it's like anything – and there's this amazing – it's actually – I think they mark it as a protein, a vegan protein, but you make egg whites out of it, and it's phenomenal.”

“It's hard. If you're trying to do that for ethical reasons, I always recommend people just eat eggs. Get chickens if you can, if you have a backyard, and eat your chickens' eggs. It is karma free. They're your pets and they give you food and you could live off eggs.”

“and we're going through his natural cancer protocol, it's I'm having him eat salmon predominantly. And, you know, and other people would have them do chicken and fish and eggs, you know, so get a lot of protein. And then it's pomegranate. It's berries. It's apples. It's kiwi. You know, it's these- So he is getting some sugars.”

“Prioritize leucine-rich sources, meat, eggs, even dairy. My preference is raw dairy. They are the most direct drivers of muscle protein synthesis. Resistance training, at least three sessions per week, incorporating compound movements, squats, deadlifts, rows, presses.”

“and obviously people might want to avoid that for ethical reasons, but that's a different matter entirely. But a steak or a piece of chicken or an egg is, well, an egg, you know, has a yolk, which is there's fat there, but is almost a pure protein fat source. There's no carbohydrate along for the ride.”

“content. So one of the studies we did was we looked at wheat, soy, egg, and whey isonitrogenous, meaning we equated protein between the groups isocaloric. We equated calories and we looked at muscle protein synthesis and I think this was the meals were 15% of total energy from protein.”

“synthesis, but the egg and whey group increased muscle protein synthesis. Now what's really interesting is we went back and we took wheat and added free leucine to it to match the leucine content of whey and the protein synthetic response was identical.”

“And I was like, oh, all right. Yeah, I know. Have some fucking eggs, bro. He said, have bacon. Have some bacon. And I'm like, fucking bacon's better for you? My journey of figuring out what to eat was a long one. It was a long one. And thank God I got this podcast because if I hadn't had all those conversations with”

“And I said, no, why? And he goes, you have very low cholesterol. Interesting. It's weird. And I go, dude, if you saw my diet, my diet's like mostly meat and eggs and bacon. That's like a giant percentage of my diet. I thought that was really interesting.”

“It's not a good substitute. But also that all these healthy fats that you're getting from, you know, milk, that you're getting from eggs, eggs in particular. We've been told eggs are bad for you, the cholesterol in eggs. Eggs, you could live off just eggs. Yeah, probably the perfect food. Yeah. Like eggs are fantastic.”

“It's like I have 16 chickens now and I get eggs every day. And these chickens are pets. Like I go, hey, ladies. You know, I feed them. I throw the worms down. They're not afraid of me. They listen to me.”

“But you are sacrificing your health by not eating. You don't want to eat pasture-raised eggs. Just get the real ones. Not the bullshit ones, the real ones. Unfortunately, they're tricking people now. Some companies have been exposed for feeding their chickens turmeric.”

“They feed them curcumin and turmeric because it makes their eggs a darker, more attractive yolk. I know, right? It's so screwy. So bizarrely backwards.”

“So it's... You know what I mean? So it's like, yeah, you're getting these darker eggs because people like that and the darker eggs come from turmeric, but still, you're getting turmeric then, aren't you? Isn't that how it works? I mean, that's fine. But I think the chicken, I think like it's the bugs that sometimes help turn them orange.”

“great way to sneak it in. And the rest of the thing is, Hey, when we have the opportunity to do a better thing, fine. Sometimes I'm at the airport and I grab a fruit bucket, a $17 cup of grapes and two horrible eggs. That is really not great food, but it's going to do today. And now we'll get the rest of it tomorrow.”

“protein powder. It's the easiest thing, right? What are your thoughts on whole foods versus powders? Now you published an interesting study on, on egg, egg, white powder versus the whole egg. Yeah. Yeah. But I'd, I'd love to like to know your thoughts in general. Yeah. That was, um, actually a pretty cool study.”

“uh, paper, and actually, you said a studies on that found basically the same thing. So whole egg versus egg white. And it turns out potentially we don't, we didn't have mechanisms behind this, but potentially some of the stuff that's in the egg yolk itself was contributing to additional muscle growth, micronutrient wise, vitamin D, right?”
