  1. lol just eat what you want and train alot :p

  2. quicker results if u eat right.

  3. What an idiot. Different types of fat and carbon hydrates have different energy contents per gram. Saying 68% of the calories automatically means 68% of the weight is retarded. Back to grade school.

    Very interesting video!

    I’d really appreciate it if you checked mine out and comment/rate/subscribe :)

  5. This is amazIng. I knew the food industry screws people over on the nutritional listings…I never knew about the trick with weighing their product by weight and not actual calories…which is news to me. Amazing. Keep up the great work.

  6. True health involves using your mind in a positive way to achieve balance, and eating a health diet. Learn how to do this and more. Breakthroughthebarriers

  8. I love how the stuff he’s saying is considered so amazing and revolutionary. Yeah, right! If Americans are too stupid to read the goddamn label and do a bit of mental math / rough estimation, then maybe they deserve to be fat.

    what’s the show?

  11. Eh, the show was on CW 28 in Providence but it got cancelled- our main sponsor pulled out due to budget cuts.

  12. True, and if the package companies put the food labels on the front with the “serving size” in huge bold, I think they would start eating much more properly
    ~_~

  13. There’s a difference between stupidity and ignorance. These companies are trying to keep us the second of the two. You can’t blame someone for not knowing something that’s hidden from them.

  14. You should go back to grade school to learn how to spell CARBOHYDRATES and the fact that it is one fucking word!

  15. Yea, and I’m sure you speak a second language at all?

  16. Not only a second, but a third and fourth; I’m not stupid nor was I speaking to you.

  17. Did anyone who voted down this comment actually CHECK THE MATH before doing so?!

    Anywho, you’re right. Maybe it’s just an accident, but that part of the video is wrong.

  18. THANKYOU. I was wondering where the rational people were. I think the thumbs-downers bolted once they saw numbers involved.

  19. marvelous description

  20. There is a good place to get Colloidal Silver Wholesale at SacredColloidalSilver(.)com They have 1 Gallon for only $99.99. The product is awesome and is getting great reviews. They don’t use any salts or proteins just pure silver and pure water.

  21. I went to your website for colloidal silver. It is selling CS at 10 ppm (parts per million). Higher counts cost more.

    The CS I buy from “Innovative Natural Products” is 1100 ppm. Quite a difference! Mine takes very little (1/4 eyedropperful) to be kick-@ss effective.

    “The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.” ~Neal Barnard

    Please watch EARTHLINGS – i have a playlist on my page”

  23. just letting you guys know that are ingesting colloidal silver it can cause permanent discoloration of the skin blue or grey. Its called Argyria. There is no cure for it and it can lead to other serious ailments. Your basically just exposing your innards to a harmful chemical that is all. So be careful and stay healthy.

  24. Yeah that is absolutely true.

  25. All healthcare ministries should watch this:
