Nomadic Samuel - Travel Channel
Nomadic Samuel is a compilation bonus travel channel spin-off from our main channel Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food videos. If you like long format travel and food videos you've come to the right place. Our travel and food content includes country travel guides, city travel guides, longform food guides and travel tips. You'll notice with our ethnic cuisine videos we have a strong preference towards local eats and street food as we visit destinations as opposed to sit down restaurants for tourists. Our travel guides are aimed towards independent travelers who enjoy going off-the-beaten path as opposed to checking off a list of typical attractions. Our core belief is that travel enriches your life and makes you a better person. We're on a journey to show you the world through its cuisine, culture and attractions. Now let's go explore together!

Hey friends! We have a new channel! Woof! Meow! Welcome to It's All About Our Pets channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZT... This channel is all about cat videos and dog videos. If you like cute cats and cute dogs you've come to the right place. Let me introduce our pets to you. We have Togo, the princely King Shepherd dog and Hobie, the regal Maine Coon cat. On this channel we'll be sharing their adventures highlighting all of the cute things they do, the types of play they enjoy and also some of their quirky habits and routines. We will also film animal encounters with cats and dogs we have during our travels around the world. To get to know our pets a little better here is some information about Togo and Hobie. Togo was born in 2016 and lives to play. From the moment he arrived home he wanted to go for walks, play in the snow, chase after balls and bite ankles. Hobie born in 2015 also lives to play. He loves to chase, play hide and seek, jump onto high spaces and ambush. If you have any suggestions for future videos please let us know! Woof! Meow!

Join us for a father and son weight loss challenge ( https://youtu.be/d4aYyawxKmI ) as we attempt to lose a combined 50 lbs by adopting lifestyle changes such as eating healthy, exercising daily and fasting at night. My Dad and I are not health professionals, so if you're thinking of doing a challenge like us be sure to consult first with your doctor, dietician or other health care provider.
Our goals were different but our desired results were the same. My Dad and I both wanted to lose weight to improve our health. My reasons were that I have put on quite a bit of weight in my 30s and have tried many times unsuccessfully to lose it by doing extreme yo-yo diets of calorie restrictions combined with intense exercise. My Dad on the other hand is now close to 70 and had a couple of health challenges including type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol. His goal for losing weight was to reverse his healthy problems and get off of his medications.
The protocols for our 50 pound weight loss challenge was simple. 8 to 9 hours of a feeding window and 15-16 hours of fasting. What this looked like in practical terms was having breakfast at around 8 or 9am (typically just a small amount of fruit), lunch at noon (often a healthy platter of fermented vegetables, fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds) and a portion controlled supper at 5pm (trying our best to avoid rice, noodles and pasta while eating a protein and vegetable combination without dessert).
In terms of exercise we stuck to a daily protocol of either walking or riding our bikes. The idea was that we would do low impact exercise to help shed weight without increasing our hunger to unbearable levels. We did have cheat days but they were for what we considered as appropriate moments such as dinners with friends and family, eating out at restaurants when traveling or to celebrate birthdays. Aside from that we more or less just stuck to our regular plan of eating and exercise and when we did we lost weight.
The lifestyle changes my Dad tackled included eliminating snacking in between meals (especially at night), portion controlled suppers and eating healthy lunches. His exercise routine of riding his bicycle in the summer was already an established habit.
My lifestyle changes were to stop yo-yo dieting, binge eating and overexercising. I actually toned down my exercise and focussed more on slow, steady and sustainable weight loss. Instead of trying to lose more than a pound per day I was happy with just seeing the scale go down slightly on a day to day basis.
By doing this weight loss challenge together we were able to keep each other accountable. There were definitely times when we both wanted to throw in the towel. It is not easy changing your lifestyle when habits are already deeply entrenched. What worked for us was seeing the results in real-time. My Dad was especially thrilled to have a blood sugar and cholesterol reading in normal ranges. His doctor was able to reduce his medications and by the second blood test in the fall (after this video was filmed) he was able to get off of all medications. It is an accomplishment that is incredible and I'm very proud of him for achieving it.
We hope this inspires you to create a challenge for yourself whether it be weight loss, saving for travel, learning a language or some other things you've been putting off. By setting a challenge and doing it with a friend or family member you'll increase your chances of success. We wish you the best with whatever challenge you decide to take on!
