t care how much you are training or working out, if you refuse to get your nutrition in check you will never look as lean as you should or could. Proper nutrition and good food choices are required to get ripped. What I hate however is when you are misled into thinking that certain foods should be in your diet because they are -healthy-. You blindly trust the guidance and then wind up frustrated when you aren-t seeing the results for your efforts. In order to fix this once and for all, you simply have to educate yourself about these traps so you can avoid them in favor of better choices. First up is guacamole. Recently, I did a video on how the healthy fats in avocado are great for your body. The problem is, people confuse healthy foods for lean foods. Packing a huge calorie wallop with every tablespoon, we tend to overlook the impact eating this food can quickly have on our waistline by eating almost 10-12 tablespoons per serving on average. Sure, healthy fats are healthy, but like anything else-eaten in excess you will quickly run into trouble with them. Low fat or lite versions of foods are often way worse than the full fat, regular versions. Beyond the fact that they usually just do a sugar for fat swap, you-re also getting a bunch of chemicals thrown in to these highly processed foods that you probably want to avoid all together. Now I know a lot of people like to have their morning glass of OJ or other fruit juice, but if you are looking to get ripped then you are far better off opting for water and getting your fruit in solid form. The amount of sugars packed into these -healthy- drinks is astounding. In fact, you are likely to find that a comparison between them and a glass of soda yield almost the same amount. Add in the fact that liquid calories are far too easy to consume (and don-t provide the fiber benefits of the solid forms) and you-ve got another reason to avoid these. Sushi is supposed to be a healthy food option that packs a protein punch in the process. Not so fast. In fact, with just a sliver of fish in every piece, you-re getting just 15% protein and instead packing in the starchy carbs with enough sticky rice to hold a small fort together! Add in the sodium IV drip you-re getting from your -low sodium- soy sauce and you-ve just made another perfect trap food. Opt for the sashimi instead and you-ll get what you thought you were getting when you iniitally decided on having sushi. There-s something about the word granola that just sounds so healthy. Maybe it-s that it sounds like the word grain? Whatever the case, you can-t ignore the fact that this is made up of calorically dense ingredients that just won-t play well in an attempt to lose fat. If you don-t make it yourself then you-re going to be guaranteeing yourself a ton of sugar and syrup as well, as both are needed to hold all of this -goodness- together. There are more trap foods not covered here in the description but you will find in this video. You want to be sure if you are not avoiding them all together that you are at least educated about their pitfalls so you can limit them in your diet when you are trying to get and stay lean. If you are looking for a complete meal plan to help you get ripped and stay ripped step by step, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System

I'm glad you addressed how frightingly many chemicals are in our food. It's an underestimated issue and it's really unfortunate many people don't seem to care. Of course the human body produces certain chemicals itself but that's a different story. These chemicals don't belong in our food and should not be ingested, especially in such dosages. The worst are people that buy cheap meat, you're probably better off eating dirt than that. Not to mention how out of it you must be to drink soda or energy drinks (etc) on the regular, just look at the list of ingredients on it's own. Might as well drink light poison, that contains less artificial sugar at least.

You should have called this dont eat this unhealthy shite because weight gain has zero to do with what you eat it has to do with metabolism and calories. I lived on Mountain Dew and cigarettes up until i was 50 only started really gaining any weight until i was 40 I was like a hummingbird without wings. You lose weight running a caloric deficit and gain doing the opposite and all the garbage in the world you eat, as long as its less than you burn in a day will not change that.

Damn the deli meat and sushi! I love both of those things. I'm still going to eat sushi but I'll only have about 1/2 of the rice. The sushi I get has A LOT of fish and a huge helping is only about 250 calories. I'll knock off the soy sauce completely. Don't need it. And I'll take Jeff's advice regarding the deli meat. I'll find a way to get the real thing. This really opened my eyes. Thought I had a pretty clean diet but I eat sushi and deli meat several times each week.

gotta push back on the sushi here. the fancy Americanized sushi might be 500 calories when it's covered with fatty sauces and stuffed with avocado, but a classic tuna roll slides in at less than 200 calories, and you can follow it up with an order of sashimi or nigiri instead for about the same calories but with a better ratio of fish to rice. I routinely get a satisying lunch consisting of two items and a bowl of miso/tofu soup for about 500 calories.

Baked beans hardly seems valid since beans have 12 grams of fibre per cup to balance out the sugars and ensure that your blood sugar doesn't spike, thus limiting cravings. As for the deli meats, additives aren't great, but they won't make you fat either. The meats are still relatively lean, unless you're buying bacon, and full of protein. Sodium will pump your water weight though so you just shouldn't make it a habit to consume them regularly.

Hello Jeff thanks for the video. I eat 5 meals a day and each meal has approximately 35g of protein and 45g of carbs. So for one of my meals I eat 3 chobani yogurts for a total of 33g protein and 48g carbs. Total sugars in each yogurt is 13g which means I am consuming 39g of sugar. Is that bad for my weight loss goal? I exercise and have built lean muscle along with losing fat but i just cant get rid of some belly fat.

I think alot of people don't realise that when the Korean or Japanese eat in/take outs make their sushi rice, they use a sweet rice vinegar, oil, and sugar. It's not plain rice. Korean sushi places are the worst, they pile on their sauces on top of their rolls.
When you go to a sushi place, order nigiri, and sashimi.
Even the pickled ginger has preservatives, and sugar.

Hi Jeff & Jesse, -
I was laughing hard at your nickname for fake-chicken in 7: 48. I grew up in Germany and our word -Ficken- is equivalent to the english -f-king-. So yeah, great mnemonic and an even better pronunciation by the way. -
Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication. Best regards LD

Yogurt was one of the main foods I used to eat when I started dieting. Kicked it to the curb not long after reading the label. That's just when I started to make fermented veggies at home like kimchi. Getting my probiotics food from a different source.

Danon? It's french company. With single N. Making dairy products. How come it's in your videos with double N and same logo? I must study this.
It says 21 items. So we only saw 8. Maybe it's the pro level.
