You seriously need to look into things when it comes to availability and cost of items around the country. At the very least, give prices for the versions in your area. Most of the Dollar Trees that I have been to do not have refrigerators or freezers. You better than most people should know that $1 salmon is probably the worst type of salmon available including probably being farm raised. Is that really clean keto? Pasture raised eggs are not cheap. It is not terrible, if you can spread them out. I think that I have seen grass fed grass finished beef. If so, it is extremely rare to find around here. Just grass fed beef is rare to find and costs 1.5 to 2 times as much as regular beef. You compared peanuts and macadamia nuts. Around here, i can get peanuts at less than $2 per pound. Macadamia nuts are $8.99 for 12 oz. You don't sound very professional in these types of videos, when you don't mention important facts.

What about ox tripe and cabbage? What about green veggies in chilli. A dry fried beef rump steak? 500gram

Cheap eggs has the same nutritional value as the more expensive eggs. I watched CBS news channel that had them scientifically tested. I also go by the Dr. Atkins diet and Splenda is allowed. If you don't have a PhD then you shouldn't be giving advice on your assumptions.

@@annh2734 I saw a video from some researchers in Canada saying the same thing, which I had suspected .

@@annh2734 how much do you weigh?

I would hazard a guess that your results wouldn't be much different if you ate the 'clean' foods that Thomas is touting here.

@@seanfrank4158 I’m sure but I don’t eat the foods I shouldn’t - HOWEVER you are right by me not being able to afford pastured raised eggs and grass finished beef. I agree. All I can do is try my best.

@@vas4739 good for you! I turned 50 three months ago and have started my journey.. it will be dirty lol

@@MountainsnVallies never too late to have a better day tomorrow. With all we need to face we need to be as ready as possible. Go and never look back!

Costco Kirkland eggs, bacon, ground beef, walnuts, and pecans! That got my weight down from 260 lbs to 175 lbs over 2 years ago and I've kept it off. Actually feel as good as I did playing sports in College 💯😎💯 I can afford clean, and you can't put a price on your health but....it worked and inflammation gone 🙈😉🙈

Amen Sis!!!! Couldn’t agree more!

This is true

Does anyone know the answer to this? He’ s said a few times on the grocery hauls that “this bacon has a negligible amount of sugar, it will burn of” how much is negligible? I bought a bacon marked as “Keto” at sprouts, but when I got home I saw it had 1 gram of sugar. Will this kick me out of keto? Like cant afford to throw food away

@@MichaelHernandezSax Some sugar won't kick you out anyway.

@@MichaelHernandezSax you’ll be okay since it will burn off when cooked but take it as a learning lesson. That’s why it’s important to read ingredients. Food is expensive so I always depend on the ingredients to see if it’s really “worth” the price. Also once you see the word Keto on something. It’s always a red flag for me to really look at the ingredients. 7 out of 10 times it’s not “clean” and it’s over priced

God bless you.

My best to you. I am blessed to have the means to buy most of this. However, organic, pasture-raised eggs are the most difficult items to find. They only have them at Whole Foods, which is an hour from me. Does anyone want to comment on just how damaging it is to eat non-pasture-raised eggs?

@@sethmann6397 I feel the difference immediately. Cheap eggs from tortured chickens give me cramps and diarrhea. Eggs from cared for chickens don't have the same effect. I can find affordable, edible eggs at Trader Joe's; anything less than $3 per dozen won't work for me. But I choose to spend top $ on eggs from the local farmers market; $6 for a dozen large. Worth every penny, to me.

Yep, we have to do the best we can with what we have. Totally agree with you.

Which is what he says during the video. But great job working with what you have!

👍🏼

Don’t know why they say peanut butter is dirty, it’s very nutritious. Yes I know it’s not a nut but still good.

Pro tip: look up the Fatso brand on Amazon. Has MCT oil, avocado oil, and Flax seed mixed in.

@@kckuc310 Peanut butter is very inflammatory because of the high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio. It also contains traces of mold if the brand is not using Valencia peanuts.

@@Joeschmo1111 I know all about the omega 6 content but if you eating more omega 3s like I am , it’s not a issue. No inflammatory condition here.

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

And what you can afford

Yeah my budget isn't all that great lol

Don’t call it keto then. You’re basically eating like everyone else. And people wonder why they don’t lose weight.

Some Walmart have the pasture raised eggs for a $1.50 less

Yea...regular eggs are just fine. If its all you can afford then go for it. Its still a million times better than eating all that other garbage.

Naw

Well yea if someone is unemployed and going to a food bank they're not going to be getting pasture raised eggs. Otherwise if you are employed and buying groceries it's not a huge deal.

@@annequeen9926 Still expensive when you can get a box of like 60 eggs for not much more than that 1 dozen.

True, but for that amount of money you are hard to find another source offering similar nutrition and providing multiple meals.

Sam's club has certified organic free range eggs for 3.50 a dozen AND organic virgin coconut oil, cold pressed and unrefined. 1.75 qt. container for under $8.00. NOBODY BEATS THESE PRICES !!!! Namaste

@@bobkundinger8065 wow thaks for that info. great price, too bad i dont have a sams club near me.. also free range is not the same as pasture raised. i bet those will be closer to the price i said. and for me, the difference is really only noticeable when it comes to pasture raised. take a look urself sometime. just a different egg at that point

5 bucks gonna blow your budget lol, turn your lights off 10 mins earlier and live healthier

@@coreyhorrocks3504 5 bucks here 5 bucks there adds up. esp on stuff like eggs.

Excellent work! 👍

that's awesome dude!!!

Lol broccoli and cauliflower is nothing. Avocado is kind of a big one tho

I developed an allergy to kale, tomatoes, berries, almond (walnuts, cashews. Never had them before. Guacamole (wholly guacamole brand)doesnt make my allergies flare up. Probably due to the vinegar or lemon in it. It's been a life saver

Sweet potatoes are almost as nutritious as an avocado, although starchy. Nothing a little cold water won't fix

I am going to try clean in 2021 thanks Thomas

Honestly

You can't allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

AMEN

That's what I was thinking.

You do what you can.

I don't do Keto, I do keto. That's exactly my sort of mindset! keep going!

Yes me🤭

Knowledge is power. Ignorance is bliss. You must be a happy person.

Don’t be a Keto Karen Haha

@@kelslo74 this sounds hilarious. What is this xD

Me 💯💯💯

Wow! You’re doing an awesome job! 💕

Hi Brenda, Congrats 🌹💎👏🏼

Priorities

12 free range eggs in my area are 5.50 and 12 crappy raised are 72 cents....not gunna lie, i but the crappy ones when the food bill is tight. Just nothing i can do. Plus the fattier meat is 3 or 4 dollars more expensive than regular 85%fat

Look for locals that have a couple chickens… we have 29 free range and only sell our eggs for $3.50 a doz. Check your local city requirements… many cities allow 3-5 chickens in your yard. Easy to take care of and the eggs are AMAZING!

Damn right! Tough LOVE

Mainstream doctors don't have a clue about healthy diets, foods. Brainwashed by Mainstream medical community to keep people sick, no profit in healthy people. Super easy to get all the nutrients you need from keto, been doing it for years.

That's true... my food bills on whole foods (i'm not always on keto), is consistently higher than any single person household in average. BUT... i spend way less on the "trickling expenditure", small ticket items that if accumulated, it's much higher anw and in the future it gives you health bills as well, such as coffee takeaways, eating out, cakes/pastries to go with coffee... for me my groceries spending is predictable and it gives me peace of mind

Thought the same thing. As well as their Salad dressings use avocado oil.

@@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid I buy the Hellman’s mayo made with olive oil...I can’t switch 🤣

I enjoy making my own mayo. 1 egg 1 c. Good oil. 1Tablespoon mustard. (1 tablespoon wine vinegar little salt) or whatever you wish to flavor your mayo with. Eat in a week. Great way to get good oils in.

Yes. Your first mistake was looking for high quality, wild caught fish at a store called Dollar tree. There is bound to be a Foods or something like it near you.

I can't say that he suggested to eat it but he was saying if you look at all your options you'll be surprised at what you can find in some of the most ominous places.

I bought salmon at aldi’s so good

Me too.when I we go to Wendy’s.I’ll there burgers with bun and. Rip off that bun . Just eat my burger with a Fork. Or at Red Robin’

The grease and meat juice are good for you. It's supposed to be a high fat diet.

I just ran to the cupboard grabbed my bag of Macs and check the ingredients. Pork skin and salt. Period. I think some of the other flavors, like the barbecue, might have MSG in them but if you get the plain ones I think they're okay

on the unflavored ones but the bbq ones have msg

We go through those tubs pretty quick every week.

@@jeffhruska8626 So do the "Hot" ones. Only buy the basic plain ones.

😄

What it was way back then

Agree!!

Primal Kitchen uses avacado oil, but it is expensive. I don't think it has a goid flavor profile. I've tried a few flavors. I'd rather make my own with olive or avacado oil, good vinegars, like ACV or white vinegar, add garlic, and more garlic, good himalayan or celtic sea salt, Nu Salt, oregano, Italian spices, paprika, very finely minced vidalia onions. If I think the salad needs more sweet, I add berries to the salad. I can always add monk fruit sweetener to the dressing but ACV has a sweetness. Homemade dressing is very inexpensive & tastes better than most store bought dressings, anyway. Plus, I don't have to worry about the garbage oils!

Same here give or take.

@@AmorFatiMementoMori i think its more so sometimes i do have butter vs ghee in my coffee or i’ll lean on chicken cause of price and i dont really care if its organic grain fed or not. Slight things i think. Also i love peanut butter lol i use Fatso which is clean but its peanut butter regardless

I’m probably 80-90% clean, but my dirty choices are deliberate. I LIKE Hellmann’s mayo and I HATE avocado mayo. I use packaged shredded cheeses in casseroles, etc about half the time for convenience and just count the extra carb or two. And I’m careful about the rest of my cheeses and always grate my own Parm or buy one particular brand that is pure grated Parmesan with no fillers. I sometimes use some commercial salad dressings but generally stick to ones with olive oil or EVOO and a bit of canola as a blend. I figure I don’t eat a lot of it and if I don’t want to make my dressing that day, it means I’m still eating a good salad at least. And I have never found a commercial one I like that’s “clean.” Oh, and the one thing I do that’s terrible that I just can’t seem to kick, is bottled tea with artificial sweetener. I HATE water and I hate carbonated, flavored water and I hate stevia - Zevia makes me sick. So I just roll with it. I don’t do all of these every day or even every week, but I’ve been keto for 11 years (except for going off the reservation for awhile during the pandemic 😞) and I know I couldn’t/wouldn’t have stayed keto without these things. I agree wholeheartedly with Thomas that if it’s just an even trade-off for you, always choose the cleaner version. But if a couple of small concessions keep you with the program, I say choose your dirty elements wisely and balance them out over time.

@@Jj.1897 yeah we sound about the same only reason I’m not being so critical is because I’m the same weight for past weeks but my waist line is lean which means I’m losing fat but gaining/keeping muscle, if it was super critical I would be doing these small changes.

Give and take. I do like 50/50

😂 only salmon we get in our dollar stores in Canada is in a can!

I bought cod at my local dollar tree. I had NO idea until I watched his video

I personally do not want farm raised salmon because all the truth about their awful conditions must be considered. If you simply cant afford ocean salmon, - eat another kind of Keto food but avoid the farm-raised salmon. PERIOD.

👍🏻😆

Salmon at the dollars store sounds a little scary to me 😱

Great to read this!!! That is all we want. Keep going!👍

He's done quite a few. He even shared his own lab results.

The salmon is from China I wouldn’t have that if I were you

@@christopherch Read the back of the packaging it’s in English product of China

It's pink salmon spent lot's time in Alaska they will not touch pink salmon they feed it to there dog's

I did not see the salmon when I went but I saw the shrimp and it said “product of China”, I’ll pass

Prob good idea to run parallel channel on Theta.tv (no censorship and better tech) and back up by our vid library

I refuse to go to dollar tree for clean keto That sounds like an abomination!

You showed it's easy to eat dirty keto if you are not careful.

@@ricksikora7270 What about Lazy Keto Lazy Clean Keto?

Did you really put "bae drinks" Thomas? It's Bai drinks 🤣

kk70x7 so you didn’t figuratively change them?

Did you just figure this out for yourself or is there some scientific basis you found as well? Seems interesting enough to research some.

@@whatsupbudbudThere’s loads of research out there about how calcium and iron compete for the same receptors. So I break my fast with a soup followed by a nutrient dense meal and then at lunch I have my protein shake, cheese and kefir.

Eat beef liver once or twice a week. I doubt if you are iron deficient. More likely you need bioavailable copper to help get iron out of your tissues and back into circulation. One way to tell is if your hemoglobin is normal.

Im interested in what you ate. Vegan keto is really really difficult.

@@dessaysso fake meats and a bunch of nuts

Going clean is like entering another dimension

Do you have carbs or sugar I’m really struggling with completely cutting out carbs I was feeling extremely weak and had sweats once I had a rice cake a feel so much better

@@alexablew no sugar unfortunately but there are sweeteners like monkfruit and stevia that can be consumed. I made keto cookies when I had the cravings. I lost 30+lbs on keto. You can do it!!!

I really look forward to seeing what I lose this month I start Keto for the first time tomorrow !

@@alexablew it can be like that at first while your body adjusts but it will, and then eventually you don't crave the carbs, you just want to eat them lol For most things you can make keto alternatives and do it long enough, i've been doing keto for 8 months, keto cheesecakes, cookies or muffins really don't taste all that different after awhile and nice to have in the freezer for treats. And do give yourself cheat meals once in a while for special occasions. The only person who can do this is you, believe in yourself :)

Just wondering, why can’t you just make the real thing? It’s literally as simple as blending some chick peas, garlic, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice & salt in a blender 🤤

@@asmysarasan Because: 1. Chickpeas are high on carbs. And sure, they might work for me, as I'm a very active person and I can eat up to 100g of carbs and still be in ketosis. But that's not for everybody. And also on sedentary days, when I prefer to keep my carbs lower - chickpeas are not an optimal idea. :) 2. It's so much quicker. You have to cook the chickpeas, then blend them pretty thoroughly etc... using pea protein you don't even need a blender. Just mix everything together with a spoon :)

@@DanielosVK Ah that's true, I forgot chickpeas aren't super Keto friendly. It's been nearly a year since I went off of Keto and got back to regular 30C 40P 30F meal plan. But that sounds great, using pea protein to make hummus, will definitely try that when I'm back on Keto after few months 😁

Sounds good. Whats the protein product please?

@@satsumamoon Doesn't really matter, just use any pea protein isolate.

Dirty keto gives u a worse fat profile, higher omega 6 to 3 ratio. That causes inflation and possibly kick u out of ketosis and/or cause a stall in weight loss

Usually you get more additives and preservatives in many dirty keto foods.

He just explained it throughout the entire video.

For fat-loss and weight management it makes very little difference. Most of the difference will come with long-term health but most of the health benefits come from being lean in general so focus more on doing what keeps you at a healthy weight. This whole clean vs dirty is really just majoring in the minors and will probably not make enough of a difference to matter but hey Thomas has to put out content to pay the bills- know what i mean? He has two homes, a studio, a camera crew and editor, etc etc...

I traveled to Iceland in 2006 and was eating Skyr at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was the first time I’d ever been so taken with a food...so simple yet satisfying on every level.

General Mills also has a "keto friendly" yogurt named ":ratio" 200 calories, fat 15g, protein 15g, carb 2g for 5.3 oz container. The only thing is it's sweetened with sucralose which has a bit of an aftertaste, instead of one of the usual keto sweeteners like stevia, erythritol or monk fruit. Has live and active cultures, and no weird chemical ingredients. The yogurt itself is pretty good, in my opinion, other than the bit of aftertaste, and is very thick and creamy, better to me than Greek yogurt, which I don't really like. Comes in strawberry, black cherry, vanilla, and coconut flavors.

@@lloydhlavac6807 that yogurt is great. The 2g 2good is delicious as well. Wish the ratio didn't use sucralose, but it certainly tastes better than the 2good imo.. skyr is delicious too, but my father makes his own skyr/farmers cheese so I get my own homemade stuff for much better price point

@@markekar6021 For a while I was making my own L. reuteri yogurt, with a recipe from Dr William Davis. It was plain, no sugar, nice and thick & creamy, and tasted good even as is, though I would sometimes add flavoring and stevia or erythritol. But after I had a run of several batches in a row that turned out bad for unknown reasons, I gave up. So I was glad to see a keto yogurt in the store. It is a bit pricey though, so I don't eat it every day.

Or just avocado oil, salt, herb seasonings!

Because those creamers are actually death in a bottle. I dare you to take one that's almost empty and stick it out in the sun in your backyard for a few months and then pour it into your next cup of coffee. It will probably taste, look and smell the exact same. I'd rather drink a liter of soda every day than have a tbsp of those creamers a day.

Is it better to avoid eggs if you can’t get pasture raised versus using regular eggs?

Where are you? A desert?

@@satsumamoon 🤣🤣

@@satsumamoon Funny.. in the Caribbean. Most our eggs are farm raised and even if I purchase from smaller sellers, they are usually grain fed. I occasionally find cage free but still grain fed

If you live in the Caribbean then I'd just skip eggs anyways just eat fish and get sun....but I'm sure the eggs there are good enough...I wouldn't worry about it...Its the corporate standard eggs to watch out for but even then every once in awhile they aren't that bad...the main thing is to get rid of sugar/carbs and artificial things like mag, fructose syrup, dextrose, conventional greens (ie gmo & non organic)....If it's a small farm chances are they are eating other things besides grain....

It will knock you out of Keto and is horrible for you.

@@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid any evidence for these claims?

Same here, goat and sheep cheeses (feta). I consider myself lucky to live in the UK, where I can get 18-month matured Caledonian cheddar at LIDL but I use even that not too often

Dr Berry is Carnivore the last couple of years, not sure they’d have a lot to talk about

Go you! Well done!
