Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction The introduction chapter focuses on the relationship between different types of foods and fat gain or loss. It emphasizes that greasy, sugary, and calorie-dense foods contribute to weight gain, while foods that are filling, high in protein, and low in calories help with fat loss. These healthier options can naturally suppress hunger, aid in fat burning, and allow for occasional indulgences without significant weight gain. The chapter highlights eggs as an example of a food that makes it almost impossible to gain fat, while cautioning that overeating any food can still lead to weight gain.
• 00:30 - 02:00: Eggs and Wild Caught Salmon The chapter explains that eggs are difficult to overeat due to their high protein content, which is very filling. Additionally, the digestion of protein from eggs increases metabolism through the thermic effect of food, meaning not all calories are absorbed. Therefore, regular eggs, even when consumed with yolks, are unlikely to contribute to significant body fat gain.
• 02:00 - 03:00: Celery and Salsa The transcript discusses the nutritional benefits of eggs and wild-caught salmon. It suggests that while eggs can be enhanced with additional ingredients like whole milk, sugar, and cheese, they are fundamentally an excellent source of protein that can aid in muscle building and fat burning with minimal effort. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of choosing wild-caught salmon over farm-raised options, noting that the latter contains more fat.
• 03:00 - 04:00: Hot Sauce and Spinach The chapter titled "Hot Sauce and Spinach" discusses the nutritional differences between wild-caught and farm-raised salmon. It highlights that wild-caught salmon is high in protein, filling, and contains half the fat content compared to farm-raised salmon. The transcript notes the visual difference between the two types, with farm-raised salmon exhibiting thicker white lines, indicative of higher fat content, primarily composed of omega-6 fatty acids, which are already overly abundant in many diets.
• 04:00 - 05:00: Soup and Bell Peppers The chapter discusses low-calorie foods, focusing on celery. Celery is mentioned as a food made up of 95% water, making it extremely low in calories and unlikely to significantly impact daily caloric intake. It's also noted for being filling and nutrient-rich, containing potassium, calcium, and antioxidants. The chapter suggests pairing celery with low-calorie dips like salsa to enhance flavor, emphasizing the importance of flavor in meals.
• 05:00 - 06:00: Popcorn and Zucchini Salsa is highlighted as a low-calorie dip option, particularly effective for those aiming for fat loss. By using salsa with vegetables like celery or peppers, individuals can enjoy a flavorful snack without consuming a large number of calories. A regular-sized container of Tostitos chunky salsa has only about 130 calories in total, which is considered beneficial for maintaining a low-calorie diet.
• 06:00 - 07:00: Cauliflower and Kale The chapter discusses the benefits of hot sauce, emphasizing that it contains no calories and pairs well with high-protein foods like chicken, tuna, and eggs, as well as with celery. The active ingredient, capsaicin, can slightly boost metabolism, aiding in faster calorie burning.
• 07:00 - 08:00: Watermelon and Cucumbers The chapter "Watermelon and Cucumbers" discusses the nutritional benefits of spinach. It highlights that one cup of spinach contains only seven calories, with many of these calories coming from insoluble fiber, which helps in satiation with virtually no calories. Spinach is also rich in important nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A. The chapter suggests replacing lettuce with spinach in salads due to its significantly higher nutrient content, and emphasizes the low-calorie nature of spinach.
• 08:00 - 09:30: Chicken Breast and Seasonings The chapter discusses different foods and recipes that are beneficial for weight loss. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods into your diet. One such example is a smoothie primarily made of spinach, with a small amount of fruit for natural sweetness and stevia for added flavor. The chapter also suggests that soups can be an effective component of a weight loss diet, notably because they are predominantly composed of water, making them filling while potentially having a lower calorie content. The emphasis is on soups that have a high content of healthy vegetables and lean protein.
• 09:30 - 10:30: Asparagus and Mushrooms The chapter discusses the benefits of starting a meal with soup, emphasizing that its high water content combined with veggies and protein can make one feel full and consume fewer calories. Soup can significantly reduce the total calories consumed during a meal, making it a preferred choice before starting the main course. The author highlights the importance of soup as an appetizing and filling meal starter.
• 10:30 - 14:00: Conclusion The conclusion emphasizes the importance of starting a meal with a low-calorie, broth-based soup to curb hunger before consuming more calorie-dense foods. It suggests avoiding cream-based soups due to their higher calorie content. Additionally, the chapter highlights the versatility of bell peppers as a component of weight-loss diets. Bell peppers can be used as a healthy option for dipping into salsa or a high-protein veggie dip, especially when cottage cheese is used as the base. Their utility extends beyond this, as they have multiple uses in a fat-burning regimen.

19 Foods That'll NEVER Make You Fat Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 it's easy to gain fat when you eat foods that are greasy high in sugar or loaded with empty calories on the other hand it's hard to not lose fat if you use certain foods that are very filling high in protein and low in calories these foods will naturally reduce hunger they'll help you burn fat and they'll open up plenty of space in your diet for cheat meals and for the first food that's almost impossible to gain fat from we have eggs and the reason why i say almost impossible is because if you eat too much of almost any food you can
• 00:30 - 01:00 of course gain body fat but eggs and other foods that i'm about to go over are going to be very difficult to overeat this is because eggs are very high in protein and the protein from eggs is not only very filling but digesting protein will ramp up your metabolism thanks to something known as the thermic effect of foods so you don't fully absorb all the calories from the eggs because a large portion is burnt off during the digestion process so regular eggs even if you eat them with the yolks are very unlikely to lead to
• 01:00 - 01:30 faking of course if you make an omelet and add some whole milk with some sugar and then some cheese then it's a completely different story but eggs themselves are one of the greatest protein sources that you can use to fill your stomach up build muscle and burn fat without much effort at all another great food is wild caught salmon and it's important that you're specifically looking for wild caught rather than farm raised this is because farm-raised salmon contains significantly more fat than wild caught
• 01:30 - 02:00 salmon and this fat is made up of a higher ratio of omega-6s which most people already get too much of in their diet when looking at wild caught salmon and a farm-raised salmon side by side you can immediately tell the difference in the amount of calories and fat the farm-raised salmon will have much thicker white lines which are actually streaks of fat so wild caught salmon is great because it's very high in protein very filling and it has half the fat content that farm-raised salmon does
• 02:00 - 02:30 next we have celery celery is one of the lowest calorie foods out there as it's made up of 95 percent water it's going to be almost impossible to eat enough celery to add any sort of major impact to your daily calorie count celery is very filling it's packed with nutrients like potassium calcium and many antioxidants it also can be eaten with low calorie dips like salsa which is actually the next food on our list obviously adding flavor to your meals is important especially if you want to
• 02:30 - 03:00 enjoy what you're eating and salsa is one of the lowest calorie dips available for example if we look at a regular sized container of tostitos chunky salsa we see that there's only a total of 130 calories in the whole thing and chances are very high if you're dipping a filling vegetable like celery or peppers into salsa you're not even going to eat close to half the bottle so that makes salsa one of the best dips for fat loss the only dip or sauce that's much better
• 03:00 - 03:30 is hot sauce hot sauce basically contains no calories at all it even says zero calories right on the label and if you like hot sauce it goes great with high protein foods like chicken tuna and eggs and actually hot sauce can go good with foods like celery as well on top of that capsaicin is the active ingredient found in the chilies that end up creating the hot sauce the great thing about capsaicin is that it can slightly speed up your metabolism helping you burn more calories even faster next we have one of the lowest calorie
• 03:30 - 04:00 vegetables spinach one cup of spinach contains only seven calories out of those calories a good amount of them come from insoluble fiber which will help fill you up for virtually no calories spinach also provides you with important nutrients like calcium magnesium potassium and vitamin a that's why if you enjoy eating salads i recommend replacing the lettuce with spinach since the spinach contains significantly more nutrients than the lettuce also since spinach is so low in
• 04:00 - 04:30 calories it can be used to make a very filling smoothie that should be made up mostly of spinach in combination with a small amount of fruit and stevia for taste another food that's very likely to lead to weight loss is soup the reason for this is because soup is very filling likely because it's made up of at least 90 percent water of course there are different soups with different calorie counts however if the majority of your soup is made up of healthy vegetables in combination with a lean protein source
• 04:30 - 05:00 like a chicken veggie soup for example then it's going to be very filling and most likely that will reduce the number of calories that you end up eating per day this is why soup is one of my favorite things to eat before i actually start eating the rest of my meal the high water content plus the veggies plus the protein is really going to fill your stomach up making you naturally want to eat less once you get to the rest of your meal and this effect can really be significant if you start a couple meals or even just one of your meals with soup
• 05:00 - 05:30 also starting with soup after breaking your fast is a great way to calm your hunger before you start eating higher calorie foods almost any broth-based soup recipe that's low in carbs will be great you just want to look out for cream based soups because they have a lot more calories another vegetable that you can use to dip into either salsa or a high protein veggie dip where cottage cheese is used as your base is the bell pepper bell peppers have many other uses when you're trying to burn fat for example they can
• 05:30 - 06:00 be used to make delicious tasting stir fries they can also be hollowed out and stuffed with lean meat like lean ground beef or ground turkey these stuffed peppers can then be oven baked for a delicious low calorie highly filling high protein meal next let's talk about a snack popcorn now of course popcorn can make you gain weight and body fat if you eat too much of it this is especially true if the popcorn has a lot of added butter so you're going to want to get popcorn with
• 06:00 - 06:30 no butter or oil added the benefit of popcorn is that per calorie it contains a lot of fiber especially for a crunchy snack making it much harder to overeat than something like potato chips for example as mentioned before the fiber is great at filling you up one cup of skinny pop popcorn contains only about 25 calories so as long as you limit yourself to a few cups per day this snack can actually help you burn fat and lose weight rather than gain it next we have zucchini zucchini can be a great
• 06:30 - 07:00 alternative for pasta dishes all you need is a spiralizer by making your pasta out of zucchini you should be able to save anywhere from 70 to 80 percent of the calories that you would take in from eating regular wheat-based pastas if you're not fully sold on the taste of zucchini pasta i highly recommend looking up a pesto zucchini pasta recipe once you try it you'll be blown away at how good it tastes how filling it is and just how many calories it saves you zucchini can also obviously be used to make a stir fry or it can be cubed and
• 07:00 - 07:30 thrown into all kinds of different soups another great alternative for high carb foods like potatoes and rice is cauliflower it's definitely not going to be easy to eat enough cauliflower to gain body fat that's because just like other vegetables cauliflower contains a lot of fiber especially per calorie so instead of eating rice or potatoes you can cut up cauliflower into small rice sized pieces and cook it on a frying pan or you can boil the cauliflower and mash it into mashed cauliflower even if you
• 07:30 - 08:00 add a little bit of butter the mashed cauliflower will have a fraction of the calories that mashed potatoes would aside from that there are also many awesome recipes where you can replace something like pizza crust with a cauliflower crust saving you calories without making you feel deprived next is kale which is packed full of healthy nutrients fiber and it can be used to make some delicious filling smoothies just like spinach it can also be used as a replacement for lettuce in your salads and if you want a crunchy
• 08:00 - 08:30 snack you can bake kale leaves after spraying them with a little bit of olive oil cooking spray and seasoning them with a little bit of salt and pepper since a cup of kale only contains about 33 calories even with the additional olive oil cooking spray it's going to be a very difficult snack to overeat moving on to one of my favorite fruits for fat loss purposes we have watermelon the reason why watermelon is so great is because it's made up of over 90 water so once again foods that are very high in
• 08:30 - 09:00 water content are usually not only low in calories but they're also very filling so it's difficult to eat too much 100 grams of watermelon contains only about 30 calories and one cup of watermelon contains only about 47 calories and watermelon also will provide you with an important amino acid known as l-arginine which benefits protein synthesis another vegetable that's made up almost entirely of water is the cucumber you can pretty much eat an infinite amount of cucumbers without
• 09:00 - 09:30 gaining any body fat cucumbers provide fiber vitamin a and beta-carotene simply cutting up some cucumber spears and adding a little salt can make your meal much more filling and along the same lines we have pickles which are basically cucumbers that have been fermented in brine as long as you get pickles with no sugar added they should contain almost zero calories there's also evidence that pickle juice can help reduce your appetite by stabilizing your
• 09:30 - 10:00 blood sugar pickles are of course high in salt but due to their low calorie content you simply can't eat enough pickles to actually gain body fat another high protein food that you should have no fear of adding into your diet is chicken breast chicken breast is one of the leanest protein sources that you can get and even though it'll contain more calories than many of the vegetables that i've mentioned in this video so far almost all the calories are coming from protein many of these calories will be burnt off in the
• 10:00 - 10:30 digestion process because of the thermic effect of foods and if you're working out like you should be the protein content is going to be necessary to help your muscles recover now something else that you're definitely going to want to include in your diet are seasonings whether you get things like garlic dill or thyme and you add them to your meals in their raw state or you get the dried versions of these products they can really help improve the taste of all of your meals without adding almost any calories my favorite seasonings include oregano garlic onion powder smoked
• 10:30 - 11:00 paprika montreal chicken seasoning and old bay but those are my favorite seasonings there are so many more that can literally take a bland and boring meal and turn it into something delicious which is why seasonings are an absolute necessity to have when you're trying to reduce your calorie intake while still enjoying the taste of your meals the only seasonings that you have to be careful with are ones where sugar is added in but most herbs and spices are totally fine and they'll have a
• 11:00 - 11:30 negligible impact on your total calorie intake seasonings go really well with another super low calorie vegetable that tastes delicious asparagus a cup of asparagus only contains 27 calories by adding a little bit of olive oil and seasonings like garlic powder onion powder and smoked paprika asparagus makes for a very low calorie tasty side for one of your meals just like other vegetables that i mentioned they're also high in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals especially vitamin k vitamin a and zinc
• 11:30 - 12:00 which is very important for athletes to get enough of especially if they sweat a lot because you'll be losing zinc through your sweat finally last but not least i want to mention mushrooms mushrooms provide some protein and fiber which both benefit fat loss and they're especially high in vitamin d and antioxidants studies have shown that eating mushrooms can help people feel full for longer and the fact that there are only 16 calories in one cup of white mushrooms makes them
• 12:00 - 12:30 another food that's almost impossible to overeat on top of that portabella mushroom caps can be used as buns for your burgers depending on the size of these mushroom buns they will have anywhere from 18 to 35 calories meanwhile wheat based buns will have about 145 calories and when you make these portabella buns correctly they really taste great with a burger right off the grill so those are 19 foods that are almost impossible to overeat and gain fat from the one food that you will
• 12:30 - 13:00 want to be careful of that i mentioned in today's video is popcorn that's the only one that you'll really have to limit yourself with while the others you're most likely going to get full long before you ever venture into excessive calorie territory i really hope you guys enjoyed this video and that it gave you some ideas about some foods that you can add to your diet to help fill you up while keeping your calories low if you enjoyed this video make sure you subscribe to this channel and also if you want any extra help
