i used to only eat unprocessed beef, but biting into live cattle had a terrible mouth feel

Dr. Mike can I shake your protein?

thank you for validating my whey protein vodka smoothie

Shakes n Bars is gonna be the title of my debut hip hop album

I love how nutrition advice has come full circle in the past 30 years and now it's ok to do a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch and a sensible dinner again.

bottom line for me is, if I'm about to miss my calorie and/or protein numbers for the day, the right shake will always save me last minute

The reason you need protein shakes is because your favourite influencer isn't able to sell you chicken and eggs via an affiliate program.

I used to be super skinny, and didn’t have enough appetite to eat more whole foods to increase my weight. I switched to shakes and drank my calories for like 6 months. I gained around 15 kg and now i switched back to whole foods and i am able to eat normal food to sustain my current weight, which i am happy with


Edit - drank* - sorry english is not my 1st language
Edit n2 - yes i am still skinny. 75 kg 185cm
but i am happy with this weight. i used to be under 60 kg few years ago.

I almost died when he said that the greens powders taste like lawn mulch because I couldn't tell what it tastes like until he mentioned it 😂

I love that you’re talking about all food being processed to some degree no talks about it at all really

Glad you mentioned liestyle/family/cultural aspects to whole and real foods as being significant in the decision making. Shakes and bar are very convenient but are essentially (like a lot of technology) isolating boring and dull. Real food is meant to be a source of joy and if you are lucky enough to live in place where you have access and resources to choose then it's also a literal feast for the senses (colour, taste/odour, texture etc). A great shared  or even solo meal is always greater than the sum of its parts.

Thank you Dr mike for validating  my 3 shake out 6 meals a day.

Came for the fitness advice
Stayed for the unhinged jokes

Crazy that there's a company called Soylent that makes protein drinks irl when that movie exists.

I accidentally caught the cancer a few years ago. I had to do chemo for 3 months. The chemo center has fridges and pantries full of meal replacement shakes because people can’t really eat a lot of real food when going through with chemo. If it’s good enough for people who are barely eating any real food than it’s good enough for you to have one for lunch.

WOW, what an INSANE timing. I was searching for this literally 40 minutes ago and didn't find anything satisfying. DAMN!

I don’t like shakes or anything ‘milky’, so I bake a banana protein cake and eat that as my protein supplement. I eat 3, 40g/protein meals a day, and a slice of this protein cake to hit 160g/protein daily goal. Here’s the macros for an 1/8 of the cake: 520cal / 4.8g fat / 76.5g carb / 41.6g protein. Yes lots of calories, but this is great for not only the protein intake, but hitting my calorie goal. Here’s the recipe:

Preheat oven to 350

1 box fat free angel food cake mix
300g Casein powder
125g Vanilla whey powder
4-5 ripe bananas (mashed)
5 cups water
Teaspoon banana extract and vanilla

Using a mixer, mix everything except the bananas on medium high speed for a minute or two, then add the smashed bananas. Beat mixture for 30 seconds.

Pour into a nonstick pan of choice. I use an angel food cake pan.

Topping:
30g brown sugar
60g walnuts
Cinnamon

Crush tje walnuts and mix them with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top. Bake for an hour or so depending on the pan. Use the toothpick method to test doneness.

When I’m dieting down, I omit the bananas and walnut topping to reduce the calories.

Shakes frozen in a Ninja creami that turns them into ice cream was huge in helping me drop a bunch of weight.

Brilliant video.

Thanks so much for posting up on the screen the bullet points and topics/questions. I feel more satiated after having watched this video. 😁
