Human beings are the only animal on the planet that dosent know what its supposed to eat.
I dunno if we’re the “only” - my dog will eat literal shit if I don’t hold him back 😂
@jeckert547 very true haha, although out of choice they would eat mainly meat I am guessing.
No we know what to eat, but majority of people don’t have the discipline to follow through with it. Most people don’t want to cook home meals everyday when Uber eats is a few clicks away…..
Humans aren’t animals fool
Humans aren’t “supposed to” eat anything.
You're a legend, James! Great, easy to understand and to the point video once again. Thank you 😊
On point, it's about balance it won't happen overnight follow the process and you will see results. Eating 10 eggs a day with fried liver is not a good diet.😊
The way I eat I refer to as "moderate calorie balanced eating". If I'm dieting it's "low calorie balanced eating". This type of diet doesn't have any trendy, memorable name. It's unlikely to sell a book. But it's not a fad. It's just healthy foods at reasonable portion sizes. Fitness doesn't need to be complicated but everyone has something to sell.
"I now own him"
Legally questionable
We don't make the rules. If you order food for someone,you own him.
I've found the only way i can diet is by calorie tracking and eating really easy things you can scan by not having to weigh to many different ingrediants out.
Belvita breakfast around 10am
Same meal deal each day. Co op tuna sandwhich, protein bites, coke zero
Banana. Roughly 950 calories by the afternoon and then i'll have around 800 calories at 5-6 ish and then another 350 calories usually weetabix protein, milk, cinnamon, zero sugar syrup. =2150 calories a day in around 400/500 deficit.
Aslong as i track that in an autistic fasion i'll lose a stone in 3-4 months with minimal excercise other than going for a walk every now and again.
10/10 for the commitment to the changing camera positions
I eat toilet paper and wipe my ass with chicken and rice.
I’ve lost 50lbs and it’s totally changed my life, I feel so focused and detoxed now.
Have you make sure it's grass fed toilet paper? 🧐
@@suchaccountwow4858 never.
This has to be the best advice of any video on RUclips. Eat less move more and don't get hung up on what where when. Live life and enjoy it. We need more of you James. Keep spreading the common sense.
@@Josh-fg3fe Found the deluded cultist
It's good advice for someone who wants to be relatively healthy for modern day standards, but not for people who want to attain optimal health.
@@Josh-fg3fe which is why I’d always rather listen to someone like Eddie Abbew who will give you the truth rather than James smith who will make you feel better but won’t actually make you healthy
@@mikolaj967 lmao Not only does Eddie not give you the truth there is no such thing as optimal health, especially not from him
@@whereruaaron sure bud
I watched that Netflix documentary, and the study results were simple: People who ate a balanced diet and exercized more, became healthier. Vegan or not. Shocking.
There was also a bunch of filler about how environmentally damaging industrial-scale farming is, but we already knew that too.
As my nan used to say "everything in moderation" and "a bit of what you fancy does you good". Good enough mantras for me.
I don’t know how you aren’t the most popular online guy in the world. The way you put things is excellent. People, myself included over complicate trying to have a well balanced life.
Great video 😁👍🏻 congrats to you & the missus about the baby 🥳 and the RS6 😂
I appreciate that! 🫡🙏
Because James delivers facts, and that doesn't go over well people that need to be in a cult, or those looking for a quick fix that doesn't require much effort or thought. He also speaks of simple truths, such as eat less (calories), move more. That's really off-putting to people that NEED this to be complicated and difficult, (the "calories are impossible to calculate," and the "but my HoRmOoOoNeZz won't let me" crowds), so they have an excuse for not losing weight.
Weird and sensational get clicks, facts and truth, not so many. Except for cats, they get clicks no matter what. If James wants to get millions of subs, he's gonna have to get some kittens in his videos.
@@JamesSmithPT 😮 Congrats on the baby? How did I miss this. You having a Baby??
I think a video of you giving your opinion of Gary Brecka would be banging
The statement you made about the meta analysis that "sugar on its own does not cause weight gain, and does not prevent weight loss, as long as you manage the amount of calories someone is consuming" is a simplification of the study's findings and requires some unpacking.
Here's what the study actually found:
- Increased sugar intake *was associated with weight gain:* Adults who increased their sugar intake gained an average of 0.75 kg compared to those who didn't increase it.
- Reduced sugar intake *was associated with weight loss:* Adults who reduced their sugar intake lost an average of 0.80 kg compared to those who didn't reduce it.
- Isoenergetic exchange of sugar with other carbohydrates showed no weight change: When sugar was replaced with other sources of calories (like starchy carbohydrates), there was no significant weight difference.
However, the study also acknowledges some limitations:
- Short intervention durations: Most studies lasted less than 8 weeks, making long-term effects unclear.
- Difficulty controlling caloric intake: It's challenging to isolate the effect of sugar alone, as people often change their overall calorie intake when advised to change their sugar intake.
- Potential publication bias: Studies showing significant effects are more likely to be published, which could skew the overall picture.
Based on these findings, here's a more nuanced interpretation:
- While managing overall calorie intake is crucial for weight management, evidence suggests that simply reducing sugar intake can lead to weight loss, and increasing it can lead to weight gain.
- Sugar-containing foods and beverages often contribute to excess calorie intake, making it easy to consume more calories than needed, even if you consciously manage your overall intake.
- The long-term effects of sugar intake on weight and health are less clear, and further research is needed.
Therefore, the statement you made is an oversimplification. While managing calorie intake is important, relying solely on that and ignoring the impact of sugar might not be the best approach for weight management.
Remember, interpreting complex research requires caution and a nuanced understanding. Always consider the study's limitations and context before drawing definitive conclusions.
Slightly ironic of you to roast people for not reading studies while low-key misrepresenting a study you referenced yourself. Stay humble.
Been reading Layne Norton for a while now and this is what I’ve gotten out of it. Excess body fat is bad. Eating too much saturated fat and LDL is bad. Exercise, vegies, and protein are all good. Don’t worry too much about anything else.
I agree with most of what you say, but...
As a teacher (Ancient History) I have to dispute the idea that (all) people in the past had poor diets. Studies of the ancient world have consistently found that the average person ate (and lived) much better than we do today. Take the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Studies of their remains show that both rich and poor ate a much healthier diet than most westerners today: lots of fruit, vegetables, fresh fish and (a little) meat. That eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, however...
0:17 I haven’t watched the rest of the video yet, but Paul Saladino’s argument here is that animals will kick you or bite you if you try to eat them. Vegetables can’t do that so instead they send out their defense chemicals. I’m not defending Paul, I know nothing about this but I just wanted to let you hear his argument for it.
Confused, should I tan my arse hole or not? Thanks James.
The amount of people I have talked to about calories and how to manage/loose weight and they are surprised when I show them how easy it is. And they don't have to starve themselves, don't have to kill themselves in the gym to the point of injury etc. they don't believe me yet I'm the one in shape and they ask whenever we are out eating or drinking how I do it.....I explain and they want details....I say I eat whatever I want to a point. I don't gorge myself on a 1500 calorie meal then not eat until dinner time. I portion it out over the day to hit a goal for my body. It is nuanced in that everyone is different but a basic rule of energy in and energy out is all it takes. If you eat more then you burn you are Gunna gain weight. If you eat less then you burn you'll loose weight. Simple....easy and doesn't restrict the diet at all. Have that icecream just don't have the whole tub.....have that extra slice of pizza just don't eat the whole thing in one sitting.....stuff like that.
I have an autistic son and a stressful life as well. I often hear it's hard with kids and life....yeah ok I get that and I miss my goals sometimes but am I Gunna let it ruin the progress I made absolutely not.. people stress too much on the how and not as much on the oh well I'll start again tomorrow.
Social media doesn't help with them always trying to reinvent the wheel even with training. Your channel James is the only one I see telling it how it is.
It isn't complicated your phone can calculate your calories you need and don't. Your watch can track it these days it's simpler then ever but people make it so so complicated.
From a Vegan since 2018 - great video James. Looking forward to more BJJ videos geezer 💪
Absolutely love the message you are conveying, the best part is the advice you're giving is timeless its true now and it will be true in 50 years when some new or better yet a reused fad comes around.
Keep up the amazing work 😊
The problem is that FAD diets actually work because anything other than business as usual will work. If I went on a diet tomorrow and picked half the alphabet and excluded all foods with first letter from that ban list…..it would actually show some weight loss.
This guy is just a parrot for big foods claims that a calorie is just a calorie. Have all the sugar you want just move more. That’s working real well with Americans being 60%+ overweight/obese
Why obesity is on the rise is because we're eating way more processed foods than before. James, you're doing exactly what you're criticising. Don't you see the irony?
With your theory, I should just eat all the shit you were talking about but move a bit more. That couldn't be more false. And you're the only one promoting this.
Best health and fitness advice on RUclips. I feel your frustration bro. I think the biggest issue effecting mankind is people have lost or sacrificed their ability to think for themselves. Please social media, tell me what to think!
Mate why don't you have 100 million subscribers, it's because the world unfortunately is full of people who are desperate for a quick fix, and listen to people who offer this fix for money, I so wish people would question everything again.
You hit the nail on the head. Nutrition has become an alternative religion for lots of nutcases.
You sound cool. But a lot of things you say are ignorant.
yeah it is quite ignorant
I agree james. The world has been following food trends since the 80’s instead of just sorting there eating out properly. Everyone wants to get results fast & sees fads as the way to get them. Great video brother.
Dr Kellogg was doing it, and I'm sure people did it earlier. He was obsessed with your excrement, and the idea that touching yourself should be, and could be stopped, with circumcision. I like the cereal but he was a sick puppy whose ideas mutilated generations of children.
It relies on two things: overweight people are looking for an excuse rather than accepting “you f#cking eat too much buddy”, and there’s never been a problem some charlatan couldn’t get rich selling you a solution to. Combine the 2 and you have decades of diet advice and “programs”.
You need to be an expert to deduce what content is bullshit and what content is accurate.
Car dependency has done a lot of damage to people's movement. Urban sprawl putting so many things we use constantly further away, and a high percentage of car journeys being only a couple miles it's no wonder people are fatter than they used to be. Walking or cycling to work and other places does your brain a whole lot of good and your body even more, and it means less pressure on you to get exercise in other times. Driving to the gym to go and step on a treadmill is absolutely insane. People are gaining weight because ordinary daily tasks require less movement than they used to and high calorie food is more accessible than ever, simple.
This is coping. You can't outrun a bad diet.
Dump nutritionists in favour of historians. Nutritionists are the blind leading the blind.
Absolutely spot on James 👍
Great video that highlights the lunarcy of these fad diet cults. Everything in moderation was always spoken about back in the day, and it is totally forgotten about nowadays within society. Don't cut out certain elements from your diet!!
Very active days eat more, less active days - guess what!!??
Eat less!! Move more!!
Too many excuses in today's world. Its a joke. Cheers James for keeping it real 👊
I just eat the same amount each day, doesn't worry me if I gain some fat in winter and lose some in spring/summer. Saves on heating and cooling
Having a six pack isn’t going to stop you killing yourself 🙌😂😂😂
James, you are a gift ❤️
Take it easy using the word “pandemic”
I might start liking you if you keep up this bashing Rogan phase 👍👍
Love the truths brother! As a type 1 diabetic I can assure you that sugar, in reasonable quantities, won’t kill you. But if I cut it out entirely it will kill me. Lol thanks for the great, balanced, fact based advice.
It’s cults all the way down.
That Cadbury chocolate contains seed oils. Love your work bud, and always will. But I just don’t agree on this one. When I cut out 80% of grains and steered away from highly processed foods, including seed oils, it 100% improved my health on many levels. All while keeping my calories the same. I’ve got nothing to gain on having this stance, just talking from personal experience ✌️
I think the 80/20 is fine, but should be relative to your starting point and genetics.
I think most people should aim for closer to a 90/10 ratio. Eat whole unprocessed foods 9/10 meals and get consistent sleep, quite simple 👍🏼
Try making homemade treat meals, rather than eating out. You can control the calories better and the quality of the ingredients; win win !
Isn't it interesting that Fad diets are still surviving instead of advising, showing and helping people how to eat the food they like and just controlling the calories in it by changing the ratios (less pasta in your lasagna and more meat for example). But I guess that is not extreme enough, plus this way it would be way too sustainable so people wouldn't have to Yo-yo back and pay for Fad diets. yeah never mind, the idea is bad.
Calorie deficits are hard to stay in, I wish people would speak to short asses like me and tell me how to stay in one... major downside of being a short ass is the so little calories you can consume before gaining weight arggghh lol
People just want a quick fix and don't want to spend a long time on anything . That's why some of these fad diets work in the short-term but just aren't sustainable in the long-term. And the fact that they are so extreme means that people give them up because they are just not pleasant to maintain.
But hasn't the obesity rates been increasing together with increased intake of seed oils? Seed oils is probably not good for us, especially when heated in french fries etc. It's not very nutritious either.
I believe in eating mostly non processed (or low processed) food. Seed oil is highly processed.
Yes, because the seed oils are an easy way to increase the calorie content of food, simple as that. I cook with rapeseed oil sometimes and I am not overweight because I include that oil in my calorie count for the day.
I like your videos James but I'm horrified you would imply my King, the Liver King is not natty. Do better.
I'd been wanting you to address these fad diets as I came to the realisation recently that all the ones I had tried in the past had basically done nothing more than leave me in a calorie deficit. (Ducan, Slimming World, Carnivore etc).
Thanks to you James I am now simply counting calories and losing weight and feel great for it 😉.
1) you can't be a breatharian. That's ridiculous. 2) Liverking shouldn't be in any friggin real fitness person's dialogue. 3) We ONLY LIVE ONCE -- EAT WHAT YOU WANT IN MODERATION 4) If you want to lose weight, EAT LESS CALORIES than you BURN! 5) AND STILL EAT WHAT YOU WANT. IN MODERATION.
i love this lad!
Haters will say common sense is a fad
One of the best videos I’ve seen on the topic. Everyone is orthorexic and worrying about the wrong shit
This man feels like a voice of reason in a sea of literal SHIT that is social media content. What he is saying is "the basics" that most of us have heard at some point but people keep going deeper and deeper and trying to find THE diet, THE excesrise plan... Shut the fuck up, eat less, move more, you are good. That's basically it. Love it James, keep at it man.
On an unrelated (kind of related..?) note, i'm starting BJJ next week and i couldn't be more excited!
Really appreciate what youre doing, no nonsense, straight to the point with facts backed up with sources.
This every day of the week. What works for me for sure wouldn't work for 99.9999% of the people (I eat a lot of sugars, don't watch what I eat that much but eat healthy self made food (on top of that a lot of soda and chocolate). I also exercise from 3 to up to 6 hours a day, and it can be anything from martial arts to biking/running or calisthenics, on top of working a physically demanding job. I do also eat quite a bit of fruit, and try to eat enough greens.
I've always been either slightly underweight or at the bottom section of normal weight. A lot of people would probably grow fat as hell with my diet, because they couldn't exercise as much.
It works for me, even though I've gotten a lot of comments (at work for example) about eating a lot. During the pandemic when I couldn't move as much I started gaining weight, and had to adjust.
Using one's brain to figure out what works for them to stay healthy is highly recommended.
James, You're down to earth and realistic. I appreciate that you're not ripping your shirt off and screaming like an evangelical about your massage because you don't need to, because you site a study instead. That, and being funny is far more effective for teaching someone like me. Thank you.
I physically can't make myself even watch those documentaries. Makes me angry thinking about it. Such clickbaity bullshit I'm so sick of it. Do better Netflix 🙄
If you do it for ethical reasons - go vegan!
Otherwise, just eat everything in a well balanced manner.
I've done the usual 'calorie deficit' but I struggle with cravings. For example, I could eat clean all day then for tea have chicken and potatoes but I'd crave something sweet afterwards and demolish half a box of coco pops. After intermittent fasting and following a keto diet, I don't suffer with these cravings anymore and have lost more weight than ever before and I feel better for doing so. For some people it's more about this rather than the 'cult' of following a fad diet. Every diet has it's pro's and con's but it's whatever works for that individual.
Couldn't agree more with this. I've personally been Vegan almost 7 years and yes I said it str away, but lets have some context 😂.
I was in the British Army for 13 years and most of the lads had no idea I was vegan until we went for a meal, including guys I trained BJJ with 3 or 4 times a week. I have Zero Vegan friends because honestly most Vegans seem like twats and my wife and two kids, they eat animal products.
Yes I care they people hurt animals for a momentary taste sensation but who the hell am I to tell them that they shouldn't have what they want. I'm not super healthy but I am trying to make better choices. My diet was great last year but slipped off for a while, so I'm back on it this week.
Everyone needs to chill out and just l, try to be nice and make better decisions when it comes to diet.
I'm on a bit of a weight loss mission, so Dryanuary (and probably a few more months), cutting down on meat, caffeine, and upping mild exercise (walking really helps me with weight loss, although I need to walk for a couple of hours per day to work the magic). Last time I did this I got pretty lean, let's see if I can keep it off this time.
Why cutting down on meat?
@@tw606 I find it helps with weight loss. Meat is a bit fatty, and eating more vegetables makes me think about my diet more, and gets me out of the usual routine. I still eat fish, especially tuna for the protein.
Great video, agree 100%. I've also noticed a lot of people like to agonise over minutiae that may make a 5% difference while neglecting the basic things that make the main difference to overall health and wellbeing.
Great overall message, and a lot of people need to hear this. I will however add my two cents.
I have a very physical job and train multiple times a week. I never had an issue with excess body fat, six pack year round. I always felt like my issue was not getting enough calories because of how much I do.
However I recently switched to a whole food diet. Cut out a lot of excess sugar, processed food. Just very simple, fruit, nuts, veg, meat eggs and things like honey, rice legumes etc. just a basic, good food diet.
I noticed an enormous change, heaps of old injuries and niggles healed within weeks, sleep improved, digestion, mood. It was fascinating.
To me, obesity was never an issue.
100% agree with your take on this, have recently done the same and seen similar benefits.
Usually think James has a lot of common sense but underplays the benefits seen by moving away from UPF because of his own biases.
Fuck it.......I’m sticking to the good ol pie chips and a coke readily available and you know what your getting
“No good idea was ever thought of not walking”… 🤔 is that a direct quote from Professor Stephen Hawking?
Too much incredibly sensible advice here! The increasing numbers of these fads is now actually helping, the more of the "you must do this, you must do that", opposing each other, the more you think...hang on, this is all bollocks!
Imagine saying sugar is not the problem. You're literally got your own cult going on here you're no different than the rest of them
The way you edit your videos satisfies my ADHD immensely 👊🏻❤️
I will order food after watching this... But I really only do this around 2-3 times a year!
Your channel is Dunning Kruger effect in perfection! Are you able to say just one sentence without a cut? Eat les move more, what a nonsense.
If not seed oil, what do you usually use for cooking? E.g. if you want to put some chicken breast on the pan.
Such fear mongering this documentary! I used to believe all their crap!
“Having a six-pack isn’t going to stop you killing yourself”
Painfull désillusion
Eddie Abbew is literally pulsating with rage at this video…😂
Pretty sure the average person on Earth would be healthier if they ate more meat. Liver King is a joke but Paul Saladino is not.
That was an incredible and accurate description on getting a chip out of the wrapper whilst walking home 😂
like fingering a girl hahahaha had me rolling
really disappointed when he rubbed off his little obesity % graph before he could add seed oils to it. That would have shown the real correlation.
I just really appreciate you putting that scam artist Gary Breka on the thumbnail for this video haha
are you taking the piss with these cuts or is this some kind of ADHD retention thing? I mean its kinda working for me but still it feels a tiny bit much
Liverking did steroids for our mental health. True hero.
Some people think we need to consume performance enhancing energy drinks instead of water 👁️😉
They had cars 20 years ago not everyone walked to get some
Fish and chips
I'm trying keto for lols this month. I know it's bullshit I'm just curious and treat my body like a laboratory
Feels like this sort of thing is going bananas on social media at the moment, I saw you get reposted by Eddie Abbew for daring to suggest an almond croissant wouldn't actually immediately kill you/ make you diabetic.
It won't unless you eat one or two of them every morning with a couple of cappuccinos and then follow that with more bad food mistakes the rest of the day. I mean, indulge but keep it occasional.
Exactly..
Eddie didn't say that did he , he just said it's shit food which he's absolutely correct
