My replacements... 1) Cooled boiled potatoes with chopped boiled eggs 2) Kind Zero Dark Chocolate Bar 3) Kefir & berries with allulose 4) Iced mate or electrolytes drink 5) Protein Smoothie 6) In N Out 4x2 plain 7) Quality deli cuts with avocado spread and Dave's Killer Bread. 8) Protein Bowl 9) Fruit or Kind Zero Dark Chocolate Bar 10) Sardines or mackeral 11) Magic Spoon Protein Cereal 12) Allulose and sometimes honey 13) Chickpea or lentil pasta 14) Air fryer chicken

Instead if Soda, just drink Sparkling Water like AHA or La Croix or Perrier.

For the candy craving just have an 85% Dark Chocolate bar (or higher cocoa). It will satisfy your cravings while only giving you 1/3 the sugar in a soda can.

Really like these food replacement videos. They’re like little reminders. Honestly now that I know about inflammatory seed oils and sugars, I’d still only stick with the more nutritious options here or nothing at all. A fan of the plain whole yogurt with fruits, smoothies, protein shakes, honey, stevia, electrolytes, lentils, burger without the bread. All great options. I’d add kombucha too.

Make your own ice cream, real cream and eggs yolks, a dash of vanilla blend, freeze and voila. Its delicious. No sugar or carbs

It's videos like this that remind me why Thomas is at the top of his game right now. Super well researched, honest and moat importantly usable advice.

Great video, complete and informative!!

Such great ideas for swaps. Thank you.

Oh, let me add my chix nug recipe too. I cook with avocado oil or macadamia nut oil because of the quality of omegas but also the high smoke point. I use tenders so I don’t have to cut anything, smart chicken brand. I dip in flour, then dip in an organic beaten egg, then Panko bread crumb. Heat the oil to 350F or so then shallow fry a couple tenders at a time. For me 3-4 mins a side. Absolutely amazing and the oil is of high quality and mildly degraded. I use a sugarless ketchup, it’s 1g sugar (from the tomatoes) in 1tbs. Good luck y’all! Great video by the way. Awesome suggestion.

This video was super helpful! Thank you!

This video was great! Thank you !

I replace mayonnaise with lite sour cream and a little salt for things like tuna salad and dips. Less caloric and not all the oils.

This is the best kind of video. Really helpful.

Amazing tips

Thomas, great content the past few days!

Craving ice cream - buy Ninja Creami and make protein ice cream.. thank me later

Great suggestions!!!!

One of your best Videos ever! Congratulation,this is the real stuff how to overcome cravings 🙏

Good stuff, Thomas 👍🏻💪🏻

Another wake up vedio! Very helpful Thomas

Some more alternatives I've found work great: Potato Chips - Siete chips Candy Bar - Quest protein peanut butter cups Ice Cream - Halo Top (but more likely Breyers CarbSmart since halo is insanely expensive) Burger - bring keto/fiber bread with you to use as the bun Sauces - sugar free/no sugar added ketchup Cereal - Magic Spoon

For the milkshake, do a scoop of protein powder, serving of almond milk and add ice. Gives you that same milkshake consistency. Mix in a single serve blender....blend and enjoy

Love your ideas! The meat bowl!

Thank you Thomas❤️🥰

great video !!

another GREAT video

I love how Thomas let Jillian get everything off her chest. True King 🤴

All these cravings can be addressed in a healthy manner by only eating at home and using appropriate substitutes and taking your water with you. My goal for 2024 was to not consume anything not from my own kitchen. Almost 6 months in and I've only ordered pickup steak and salad twice (dressing at home) so I'm not doing too bad.

Zevia and bubly makes me feel like I have a little treat each day. Keto yogurt vanilla / coconut/ strawberry flavors are a good option so creamy. My kids have grown up with alternatives their whole life I am so proud they have grown to love my antics lol it's all out of love 😊

Great video

The Epic Bison Cranberry is my go to for a little protein on the go. Love it! For a sweet tooth, I like the Joolies small box of 3 Dates. Dates are so sweet it usually does the trick. But if I'm really craving chocolate, I go to the Bulk section of the grocery store and get 4 or 5 dark chocolate covered Pecans. It costs next to nothing and I get my chocolate fix.

The LMNT seltzers are delicious! That would definitely satisfy the soda craving.

You're one of the best

Lol! What timing! I was craving ice cream (which I don't even have around) but ate a generous serving of half- frozen peaches - yummy and satiating 😋

TY , very useful

Also for ice cream options, just blend a frozen banana with a splash of milk and boom you have banana ice cream. Very healthy option with no added sugars.

if you mix Greek yogurt with some chocolate or strawberry flavored protein powder and then freeze it for a bit, it's a pretty solid substitute for ice cream

Nice video topic

Just wanted to throw out a recipe that’s amazing, sweet and super healthy. 370g Greek yogurt Fage 0%, add one scoop of your fave choco protein powder. Mix, then cut up some fresh strawberries and or pineapple, whatever fruit you want. I add 300g pineapple typically because the bromelain helps digest the yogurt. Hope this helps someone. I’m also 6’3” 240 lbs so adjust the weights as needed

Thank you.

If you're craving a chocolate candy bar, a dark chocolate bar sweetened with stevia is a great alternative. My favorite is Lily's dark chocolate bar. It satisfies my chocolate cravings without any sugar.

This is the realest video.

Instead of the options for chips do pork rinds, cheese crisps (preferably home made but whips and a few store brands are good) or make your own air fried coated in salt maybe some parmesan and animal fat or coconut oil veggie or potato chips. With burgers you can get even a value menu burgers sans bun with a side salad and to that but bring your own lemon juice and oil ask for salt and pepper packets for dressing. On sodas there is diet sodas and there is stevia or sparkling water which you can add your own electrolytes to and you can add true lemon packets and stevia. Chocolate or candy there are Lilly's and Justin's chocolate and Russell Stover now has a line of stevia sweetened sugar free chocolate. You can also make your own granola with nuts some small amount of dried fruit xantham gum and a sweetener and maybe some nut butter you could use a nut flour or carnivore flour or protein powder to really ramp it up. The whole sandwich thing is great. With ice cream you can make your own with cottage cheese or coconut/almond milk and use all kinds of flavorings like goog goog brand sugar free jam that uses stevia and eyrithritol as sweetener do that with a sugar free chocolate melted to make a say raspberry chocolate swirl. Also if you chop up some of those Russell Stover sugar free stevia toffee things and add some PB or nut butter and sweeten with stevia you get toffee and PB or nut flavored. On chicken nuggets low carb love recently showed a 3 ingredient chicken nuggets recipe using ground chicken egg and Parmesan. You could do that though I found adding a bit of low carb flour gets crispier results. I've also used with canned mackerel and canned salmon or canned tuna for fish nuggets. And btw on mayo did you know to make a healthy one all you need is a blender eggs oil and vinegar? You can use live culture acv or even brine from sour kraut or komboocha to make it and it will be a fermented food safe at room temp for months. So yeah here's some tweaks to your list.

I really like the replacement ideas. Maybe a video of you strolling through a mall looking for best options to eat would be fun too. You used to do those supermarket videos. It could be fun.

To get over candy bars, I will just make keto fat bombs or usually go towards lily's dark chocolate. The cranberry epic bar is my favorite meat bar though. My soda of choice is Zevia. Once you get used to the taste, it is wonderful.

Sir Kensington's avocado oil mayonnaise and Primal Kitchen no sugar ketchup are great options if you really crave those condiments. Allulose can be added to the ketchup if you want a little sweetness.

If you want a replacement for pasta for bolognese sauce or rice for chili con carne sauce, then try cauliflower, especially if you keep it a little crispier. It's a great combo with any tomato sauce, really.

Absolutely.

The stevia sodas are pretty good!

I would take salmon over tuna any day…much lower in mercury. But also a fan of sardines.

Is Kasha and Kamut Puffs an ok alternative to have everyday?

Candy bar alternative... sugar-free homemade protein bar! They're surprisingly easy to make

What about homemade potato chips? I sometimes slice a potato really thin and cook them in the microwave with a little bit of olive oil and salt. Tastes divine once you got it right.

Thomas starting the bathing suit season reduce fat and diet video full court press this month. The man knows his way around the algorithm!

Sugar alternatives: what about monk fruit crystals? I've been using that for several years now and rarely hear anyone talk about it.

Quick candy bar Giardelli dark chocolate chips and nuts. Topo Chico with fresh key lime juice is a glass bottle, Celtic salt on rim. Keep grass fed taco meat on hand and make your own bowls. Chipotle uses seed oils. Make grass fed hamburgers regularly at home. Keep deviled eggs with mustard and a little pickle relish on hand. Seven Sunday cereal Boars head meats

Since going low carb I don't have any cravings. Sorted. If you have cravings then go cold turkey. Saves a lot of time.

In the sugar category I usually use sucanat. Or dark grade maple syrup.

Shiritaki noodles are a great replacement for spaghetti!!

My dad cuts up chicken breast and coats them with almond flour to make low carb chicken nuggets. They are freaking amazing.

Ice cream for me, I'd use frozen whipped cream and mix in some chocolate powder

I've discovered adding erithritol/monkfruit sweetener to plain Greek yogurt satisfies any icecream or candy cravings I get.

life without burger? IMPOSSIBLE

Pizza burgers (patty, sauce, cheese) are very satisfying. I use a squirt of Stur in my sparkling water. They make a grape flavor that is wonderful. Love Good Fats makes some decent bars that satisfy a sweet craving.

The best soda alternative health wise by far is zevia soda. Its such a better alternative its pretty much healthy.

Chips => pork rinds or pretzles ice cream => yogurt with a delicious flavored whey and a plop of cream cookies => Ghost brand whey has little cookie bits in it, just enough to satisfy the craving

So how do you feel about chips cooked in avocado oil with only potatoes, avocado oil and salt.??

I wish you'd share some homemade cookies, bars or muffins etc that you recommend

Buckwheat with a dash of milk / cream and monk fruit and cinnamon is 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

I grew up drinking Coke! Then in my 20’s! My wife and I gave up soda! All I drink is water with lemon!

Fried chicken - use pork rinds for breading and throw it in the air frier!

Seeing the change in your skin health from your old photo to now is crazy. Your skin looks great, my dude! Goes to show what eating clean and healthy can do for you. Now share the skincare routine! 😂

Thanks .. did you explain WHY no salmon?

How about my go tos? Fudge popsciles. 40 cal. Sugar free bbq. 5 cal per tbsp. Sugar free jello. 5 cal. Rice cakes. 45 cal. Spray butter. Soy sauce. 0-5 cal. Popcorn machine, air popped kernals. 4 tbsp 160 cal.

Bro... your video is making me hungry 😅🤣

Want something creamy like a sundae? 1 scoop of Huel (which is half a serving), a little almond butter, little granola and water mixed in a bowl.

Nothing can replace potato chips. What else is crispy, salty, delicious, without having to bake something yourself? Smoked salmon on a cracker maybe but smoked salmon is expensive.

My cravings are texture based. For example, if I want chips I don't want a baked potato. I am going for the crunch so carrots are a better sub. Also regarding soda, how about a stevia sweetened soda like zevia or even better kombucha.

Craving from my own experince are an addiction, i been carnoivore for a month and all my cravings are gone, before that i would crave all those things that you said. Cool video btw and if it helps you and others then each to their own

As in life….it’s all about choices!😊

For pasta, i make a beefy bolognese and eat it over steamed broccoli

Roasted seaweed has replaced chips for that salty crispy taste.

I don’t agree that just eating meat sauce is healthier than chickpea pasta. Chickpea pasta is healthy if it’s 100% chickpea flour. And most people don’t eat enough legumes as is.

As someone who loves popsicles, I have one of those typical popsicle trays and I just put water mixed with electrolyte powder (of course a particularly fruity flavor). And boom I have basically a 0 calorie sweet treat

Want more videos like this showing us better options

They make olive oil potato chips with seasalt vey Healthy for you

Did you all know that Thomas holds the world record for ending a KZfaq video? .5 seconds and he’s gone. 😂

Best option is make fries at home with avocado oil or olive oil baked a long time at lower temp, you could even use purple sweet potato. For Doritos here is my substitute. Buy some organic masa corn flour. Make tortilla chips yourself again, non-rancid oil at lower temp. Add parmesan or nutritional yeast, sea or Himalayan salt, turmeric, paprika. No msg, no gmo corn, no rancid oil. Not a health food, but WAY better. Takes some work, but they taste amazing. If you make kale chips, don't follow a recipe that says 400 degrees! bake at 350, don't eat the burned ones, they are carcinogenic. Watch them carefully and take out the crispy ones and keep the rest in till they are crispy,.

I’m having Boba drink 😂😂😂

Potato chips altnerative is to buy a mandoline. and make some homemade chips.

Fage 0% fat, stevia, frozen blueberries. Mix, let sit for 10 minutes

when I want something sweet I have a piece of fruit. If I want something crunchy have a stick of celery with peanut butter (crunchy) like we did as kids! if I want something protein and salty I have BILTONG stick. If you want a sweet drink have coconut water - it's natures electrolyte.

Artificial sweetener linked to Alzheimer's. Best chocolate bar substitute is smash a date, spread nut butter, add melted dark chocolate and freeze !! Yum Jing soda occasionally is tasty

You named brands for the nuggets but completely forgot Magic Spoon for the cereal lol

Diet soda is my vice. So hard to stop.

Sugar- free chocolate will take care of a sweet craving!!

Make homemade fries in your air fryer. Bison Cranberry bar w some honey on it Homemade ice cream recipe from Paul Saladino is awesome. LMNT is awesome! Protein shake hell yea 5 guys meh sometimes Sandwich meat is yuck Burrito bowl w meat oh yea! Fruit instead of cookie yep yep Sardines in mustard Dont drink coffee Squash sure Make your own nuggs air fryer breaded w pork rinds "bread crumbs"

Quest peanut butter cups

What about homemade mayo? My wife makes it with EVO and an egg.

With the diet coke vs regular, I'd choose regular. The whole body can use the sugar, the liver only can digest the alcohol sugars and lead to fatty non alcoholic liver. "Diet/no sugar" options are worse for you. It's so easy to choose neither once you give them up for a while, the craving for a soft drink just isn't there anymore. As for taco alternatives; a doner kebab goes well. Chicken nuggets? You're not 5 years old anymore, time to adult. Tenders, etc? Same thing. Kids food.
