I can’t name any supplements that help weight loss but what helped me lose weight was drinking a cup of water before every meal, cooking the majority of my meals, swapping candy/chocolate for fruit. I’m down 40 pounds
Hey, if you’re a chocolate lover like me, you can totally eat a block of 100% cacao dark chocolate everyday. Like single ingredient dark chocolate from the baking aisle. Delicious and bitter. Incredibly good for you. Rich in antioxidants and copper and it’s a great source of stearic acid, which is about the healthiest saturated fat on the planet. It’s been directly correlated with fat loss, in fact
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer I bought some of that by mistake once as a youngster, I thought it was just a big block of chocolate...it's been a while, but my memory of it was extremely unpalatable. Maybe I should try a nibble again.
@@aaronscott1991as yeah, but obviously that’s not a supplement, and it’s hard to find. I wish there were still sources for it in the US, but I haven’t found anything, even on the deep web or dark web
Excellent timing on this video. I just finished a maintenance cycle and back on fat loss. My meal plans for fat loss is very similar to maintenance - just cut out the drinking and junk on weekends. I went from fat loss, to maintenance, and now back to fat loss. Was dreading it a bit, but now that I'm back in it, seems easy.
I think the reason people are overeating is a combination of a few factors. 1.) Lower Fiber in food. (That's part of the whole ultra palatable thing) We're eating refined carbs with ZERO of the fiber that would naturally Blunt the blood sugar spike you'd see in people. That spike feels AMAZING. Part of why we love sweets so much. Any Diabetic will tell you that when your blood sugar plummets, you get UNBELIVABLY hungry and weak. 2.) We focus too much on calories over Satiety. Sure, you can lose weight eating 1500 calories in chocolate... but the question is how hungry will you be if you ate 1500cal of chocolate vs steak and broccoli? 3.) Overly simplistic advice from doctors. Losing weight is 100% about calories in calories out... but you need to go deeper. If you don't, it's like saying "Yeah, the titanic wouldn't have sunk if it just avoided the iceburg." That's where doctors are at. They don't go into WHY these people are hungry all the time. WHY they're overeating. Eat slowly, eat more fat and protein and a bit of fiber if that helps and you'll find yourself FAR better off in most cases weight wise than before. Less hunger = Less eating. There's an index for Satiety fulfilling foods. Assuming you're eating foods that satiate easy and eating them slowly so your body can process that you've eaten, You shouldn't have as much hunger and dieting will be easier. Doctors need to start treating obesity like they do addiction. First step is to limit access. Then treat the source of the cravings for the object of addictions. Doctors are doing step 1 without step 2 HUNGER is the problem. Not the foods themselves. Hence why things like Ozempic work so well. Get rid of the hunger, and people naturally fall into a pretty healthy line. TL;DR: The reason obesity is on the rise is because we eat more food that is less filling and more calorie dense. When losing weight, we focus too much on the numbers over how the filling the food we eat is. When we DO get advice from doctors, it's overly simplistic a lot of the time and ignores the difficulty in dealing with hunger. Doctors see the forest but miss the trees when advising patients on weight loss. Just taking this advice, I've lost 12lbs this month alone. And hunger has BARELY gone beyond being peckish at any time. Hell, one day, I had to force myself to eat more on 500cal of soup. That's all I ate that day until I was right before bed and went "Uh... that's probably not a good idea..." and whipped myself up some leftover steak bites that pushed me to 1200. Eat slow (we're talking one bowl over a few hours). Eat nutritious foods that are high on some satiety index. And keep some diet soda on hand if you want sweets. Bam. Suddenly, weight loss won't be so hard. I can even have junk food too. A bit of ice cream before bed is perfectly manageable when you've only eaten 1000 calories that day and don't feel hungry. Just keep it before bed. The blood sugar spike from sweets and snacks tends to lead to a crash of epic proportions that you want to be asleep for. Assuming you do that right, you won't be hungry when you wake up.
Sounds like crash diet. Can work a day or a few days, but the depletion and fatigue and then likelyhood of failed diet and back to old habits is likely. Its not good to struggle thru 500-1000kcal pr day and then nuke thru a kilo of meat or ice cream. Man this is keeping the food addiction alive. Doing heroin just in the weekends. Better to make a sustainable thing, not yoyoing, like HEALTHY food only, and lets say 2500 kcal pr day or whatever is a slight deficit. Eating healthy and forgetting that "heroin" exists. Get addicted to health benefits instead. Dont believe in quick hacks. Lifestyle. Life. Dream big
@@rando9574 I'm not supporting fad dieting. I've been going steady since I made this post. Diet Fatigue is usually down with having to resist the desire. The way I diet is cramming in as much "Fullness" into as few calories as possible. There are physical limits on that, but if you reach those before your mind hits it's limit... it still means dieting is easy. When you're full, cravings are practically non-existent. Sure. Oreos sound nice... but you're already full enough that you don't feel that draw in the first place. I still have small cheats in between. But I'm still losing 2-3lbs a week without issue. I even took a break as my metabolism started to slow and I figured that was sign to bring it back up to 2k for a bit. Got back down and It's been easy. On top of that, it's not like it's a "Eat only this" kind of thing. It's not a Crash Diet. You can eat plenty of things. Sunflower seeds, Meats, soups, stews, salad, Ice-Cream if you can make ultra low cal ice cream like I can with my Ninja Creami and so on. I still even have sweets. Dark Chocolate mango pieces and hard candy being easy examples. The only unique perspective of the dieting method I use is to focus on reducing Calories AND Increasing Satiety. To use your Heroin example, it's like trying to quit heroin by not having heroin and taking a drug that reduces cravings in the first place without adding to the addiction. You aren't going to struggle with cravings if there's no hunger to begin with. If you still do, drink Diet Soda or snack on some sunflower seeds. A 400cal bag takes me a full week to go through if I'm snacking light. And to take this outside of dieting, it means that once you're done, in my experience, it makes maintaining weight easy too. Feeling peckish and you know you've had too much for the day? You've got a bunch of low calorie snacking options that'll curb the hunger and help you keep at weight. Having to count calories down to such a small level teaches you what foods REALLY add up to your calorie budget for the day and still leave you hungry. Once you go up to maintenance, it's easy to get full on nutritious things and enjoy your snacks without going overboard. Sorta like how living on a tight budget teaches you to cut the fat on your spending habits and make smart choices. It's essentially applying that principle to eating. Most bang for your buck. Most fullness for the fewest calories cost. My point is just that we focus on making sure the physical element of dieting is met that we don't consider that we're not unfeeling machines. Imagine if you applied the modern consensus of "Calories in calories out" without any Nuance to the mental side of things to exercise. Neurological fatigue is a HUGE factor in Exercise. The fact that people don't consider alleviating the Neurological fatigue that comes from calorie restriction as much as possible is crazy to me. Dieting is a form of bodybuilding. Rather than slathering on clay, you're chiseling it out. It's best to get as much "work" done with as little fatigue as possible.
RUclips wouldn't exist and therefore you wouldn't be able to spew your rubbish in this comment section if it wasn't for infrastructure that made food widely accessible to everyone in a first world country.
@@demetter7936 totally not my point. Sedentary lifestyle and highly palatable foods delivered to your door is not progressing our health in the correct direction.
@@demetter7936true. We are also 60% overweight and 40% obese. We have more symptom treatment pharmaceuticals than ever before. Ozempic is literally meant to combat overeating.
Hydroxycut HardCore, the formula from like 15 years ago, was lit, at least for me. At one point I ran 5 miles, lifted everything in my normal circuit, and literally felt like i could run another 5 miles. Stuff was truly crack at times. Thermos are great, if you have a plan when you roll off it. Otherwise its the same cycle of habits mentioned here.
diet that worked for me is not trying to do a super healthy diet/ strict calorie counting. I just ate everything i used to eat, but half the quantity and added more protein to my diet. Coke? small can or diet coke, Mcdonalds? whole burger half fries and give it to someone else, chocolates/chips/etc? i make the packet last a week instead of a day or two. I wasn't weighing myself during diet and after 18months i lost 22kg(48pounds) and stayed at 62kg for like a year till covid struck. I know it could have been faster but this way i didn't even feel like i was on a diet 1 month after starting, it just felt like my normal eating habits.
People fail at dieting because: - it can be too restrictive - it's a lot of work - fast food tastes incredible & is cheaper & less work - food deserts exist - people don't see results right away/ they plateau - bad foods taste amazing - portion control is really hard - people don't enjoy/ drink water
@@HomeshighlandPark A diet doesn't mean you have to eat "healthy food". I lost 25kg eating processed carbs and very little protein, I just tracked my calories.
@@thisguy2989 Look, just because _you & I can_ cook a whole lot more than warm toast & boiled water does *not* mean that others are that lucky! 🤣🤣 A whole bunch of people absolutely crave & love the fast food's balance of: salt, sugar, fat ratio. If they didn't than, how else do we explain that multibillion dollar industry? Food deserts, desperation, lack of personal time to buy, prep & learn to cook? (You know, THIS has got to be one of _thee most_ depressing comments that I've ever written & posted! I've been on RUclips for well _over_ a decade. The whole fast food industry *is* disgusting, predatory & monstrous. *sigh)
I’m taking tirzepatide from a peptide site. It doesn’t curb my appetite like they say it does, but I’m only taking 3 mg/week shot. I will say, I’ve continued the exact identical low carb diet that I was running before, and I IMMEDIATELY within the first week saw facial bloating go away. FOR ME, my typically chubbier cheeks have gone away and I look more chiseled. Around my waist and shoulders, just more definition, more exaggerated “v-line” near obliques and lower abs. I’m only on week 2, just took my second shot a few days ago. For full context, I’m 5’10”, probably 11.5% body fat, 180 lbs, naturally a mesomorph but have low carb dieted myself down to an endomorph look. I’m trying to get to 7-8% body fat, then slowly build muscle by eating a few hundred calories above maintenance over time. I never want to be fat again.
Unrivaled in what? The reasons bodybuilders take it isnt how much more calories it burns but the anti catabolic effect and the beta agonism. If you talk about pure fatburning then its absolutely not unrivaled. Clenbuterol burns much more fat in itself and then you have hardcore fatburners like DNP. These can have serious adverse health effects though. And ephedrine is not legal anymore in most western countries. Im sure you mean synephrine.
@@scottstorchfanephedrine is still available otc. Asthma medicines like broncaide and primatene tablets have ephedrine. Ephedrine sold as a weight loss supp is illegal but you can ask for the asthma meds at the phrama counter. 20 mg ephedrine + 200 caffine works great for appetite suppression and energy maintenance in a calorie deficit.
@@scottstorchfan it’s effective purely because it’s extremely efficacious insofar as blunting appetite, resulting in a caloric deficit. As a fat burner, the stack is not so great, but it’s the appetite suppression that makes it work. No, ephedrine is not banned in western countries. I bought some at Rite Aid yesterday, in fact. In New York. You have to ask the pharmacist for it and show ID, but it’s perfectly legal to purchase if you’re of age. It’s banned as a *supplement*, not as a medicine. Nice profile pic, by the way. That album’s a banger 👍
@scottstorchfan I thought ephedra was no longer otc. I'm here looking for anything for energy.. I am already on testosterone from a dr. I have next to no energy and desperate. Any tips plz. 40 year old male.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica it’s not. It’s highly addictive, too. Not worth using in any context outside of medical. Which, I think medical usage is very rare nowadays, but must still be a thing if it’s schedule II 🤷
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer it is better with less side effects. Agree it shouldn't be used but would be better than DNP. I know people here who have been growing, processing and using it for 30+ yrs. They are thin, strong and healthier than other average public here in Colombia.
Back in the day my mom and all her friends were super sprung on fen-fen, phen-phen? Whatever. They loved it. Were super pissed when they made it illegal. And they did all immediately put on a decent amount of weight.
Keto is great if you actually plan for healthy foods. So many people eat absolute garbage on keto, excessive bacon and oils and shit because it’s actually hard to eat a diverse range of whole unprocessed foods and stay keto
Once you realize that you can buy 240 cups worth of instant coffee for 10 bucks and u can put as much as you want in 1 cup of water. That is when you will unlock true weight loss
About 3.5 months ago I decided to just start trying to lose weight. Always been a bit bigger, but never what someone would call fat. But after having two kids and being too sedentary, I saw 240 (6'0-6'1) on the scale and said, "Fuck that." All I've done is walk 3 miles at least 3 times a week and try to eat around 1600 calories, but definitely trying to stay under 2000. Went to unsweet tea, zero calorie sugars and sodas, that powder protein peanut butter, the low calorie ice creams, etc. Lost about 25 pounds so far and I'll start strength-training in the next week or so. I had the epiphany last week that losing weight isn't hard, it's just a lie that people tell themselves. It's not hard to spend an hour or two a day, at least three or four times a week to work out. It's not hard to cut out and/or down the things that're too high in calories in your day to day life. It's not hard to cook at home more and incorporate more protein in your life. It's not hard to tell yourself, "No, I'm not going to eat that," or, "No, I'm not going to be a lazy bum and not go for a walk." None of it's hard, it's just not in our routine. And it's not like it has to be forever. My plan is, generally, to get to ~180 and continue working out to offset me being more frivolous in how I eat, while maintaining not being a glutenous degenerate every day. I just want to be able to be in good shape for my family, while also not being miserable by excluding foods I enjoy from my life (and marrying a hispanic, it's not a choice). Also, one of the things me and my wife have discussed is that we're not allowing our children to develop bad habits while they're young, to save them the anguish in the future. I was a really active kid, playing sports every fall and spring, running 25 miles every semester in middle school for PE, I swam in our pool constantly and ran around the yard, etc. But I'd eat like a typical teenager, and didn't slow down enough later when I was less active. So it's my responsibility as a parent to be a benevolent tyrant and not let my kids gorge themselves on food, and take the brunt of tantrums now, so when they're in their 20's and 30's, they can look back and thank me for disciplining them. Just my two thoughts. I have no real interest in the rabbit hole that are supplements and shit, all I take is a multi-vitamin, B12, and Magnesium. It's too complicated for me, I don't care enough, and I don't have any friends that're nerds in that realm.
Yeah he mentioned that. It's just a stimulant and if you've ever taken it you know the second you come off it (and you have to come off it due to your body getting used to it and the horrible side effects) your hunger rebounds in an INSANE way. Been there done that. Just another way to yo yo weight loss that isn't sustainable.
@@KatyWithAWhyyyI see this supplement is super underrated, I assume it’s also because it’s pretty expensive, but I’ve had amazing results with 7-keto-dhea, 0 side effects
Really enjoy mike but he just hardcore promotes the use of the anorectic drugs. Like why can’t we take a deeper dive into the natural ways to build up will power and to lose weight
I diet at 2200-2700 cals a day depending on how big a deficit I’m going for. So it’s pretty easy to get a meal to be around 800-1000 cals at Taco Bell. 3 hard tacos is only 510 cals.
It helps tremendously to be naturally lean. That way you can just lift heavy weight consistently - if you're predominantly fast-twitch muscle fiber - and focus on SIT/HIIT conditioning. The LAST thing anyone wants to do is obsess over or focus on food and dieting. That's NOT the "fun" or "satisfying" part of training!! The focus should be on strength training and conditioning, which leads to BETTER aesthetics (well-developed and well-defined muscularity). Are supplements needed if you eat for well-balanced nutrition and fuel? No. Should Ozempic, and it's derivatives, be used as a weight loss or conditioning (fat loss) supplement INSTEAD of just doing the work? No. It's supposed to be used for obesity, due to a FORMAL DIAGNOSIS of diabetes.
Why do so many people fail in their diets? That's easy. Because our culture is designed to make us fat, that's why. Obesity/overweight is not an individual problem; it's a cultural problem. If a couple of people are overweight, that's on them. But most of us are overweight/obese; that means it's a cultural problem, not an individual problem. That's on all of us. Corporations are getting rich off of making us all eat too much and exercise too little. Food corporations and drug corporations are fueling each other's profit margins. Look into this. It's true. We need to deal with obesity the same way we deal with smoking: laws that chip away a little at a time, over the course of decades. Regulate serving sizes of soda. Tax sugar. Require school lunches to contain tasty vegetables. Ban candy advertising during children's shows. Ban single family house zoning (to encourage walking). Etc. Do it over a few decades. In a generation, we will see everyone become normal weight again.
@@julietardos5044 counterpoint: plenty of non obese societies with access to fast and junk food. See Japan, Vietnam. You’re correct on culture, but off the mark that it’s the corporations.
@@Jombozeus Every country in the world, except France, is seeing increases in obesity. Yes, including Japan and Vietnam. Japan's obesity rate is still low, because it started lower than everyone else, but it is climbing. Plus, there's less sugar in Japanese fast food than everywhere else. Like KFC's Japanese cole slaw has very little sugar, while American KFC's cole slaw is like dessert salad. What is France doing right? I don't know. One thing I know they do is hire actual chefs to plan and oversee school lunches so that the meals are both nutritious and tasty.
Green tea and L carnitine have been show to have little to no impact on metabolism or weight loss unless the argument is consuming fluids reduces the amount of food/calories you consume. A balanced diet has just as much of an impact vs a low carb diet the exception is that for many people when they actually monitor carb intake it reduces a lot of junk/foods with high saturated fats and high sugar content.
People in the 50’s did not go to eat out all the time and eat trash food like they do now. Plus they did not have charge cards to constantly charge to eat out. People are lazier now, and do not want to make the effort to actually prepare food. This guy has to many excuses for people to not eat properly.
I mean if you just google image him the first thing that comes up is pics of him at 5-6% bodyfat. Are bodybuilders only allowed to talk about diets while they’re on one? Lol
@@HaydenHolcomb334 He is willing to wholeheartedly voice his ignorance and... he pumps himself full of drugs. So, understandably, I question his every word.
This guy needs to wear a shirt with sleeves. He is a poor example for people are should be eating better food and food filled with horrible sugar and chemicals.

Hydroxycut HardCore, the formula from like 15 years ago, was lit, at least for me. At one point I ran 5 miles, lifted everything in my normal circuit, and literally felt like i could run another 5 miles. Stuff was truly crack at times. Thermos are great, if you have a plan when you roll off it. Otherwise its the same cycle of habits mentioned here.
diet that worked for me is not trying to do a super healthy diet/ strict calorie counting. I just ate everything i used to eat, but half the quantity and added more protein to my diet. Coke? small can or diet coke, Mcdonalds? whole burger half fries and give it to someone else, chocolates/chips/etc? i make the packet last a week instead of a day or two. I wasn't weighing myself during diet and after 18months i lost 22kg(48pounds) and stayed at 62kg for like a year till covid struck. I know it could have been faster but this way i didn't even feel like i was on a diet 1 month after starting, it just felt like my normal eating habits.
People fail at dieting because:
- it can be too restrictive
- it's a lot of work
- fast food tastes incredible & is cheaper & less work
- food deserts exist
- people don't see results right away/ they plateau
- bad foods taste amazing
- portion control is really hard
- people don't enjoy/ drink water
Lol fast food does not taste incredible and is actively more expensive than making your own meals. All the other points make sense to me
Fast food is only cheaper if you' can't cook for shit
@@HomeshighlandPark A diet doesn't mean you have to eat "healthy food". I lost 25kg eating processed carbs and very little protein, I just tracked my calories.
@@thisguy2989 Look, just because _you & I can_ cook a whole lot more than warm toast & boiled water does *not* mean that others are that lucky! 🤣🤣 A whole bunch of people absolutely crave & love the fast food's balance of: salt, sugar, fat ratio. If they didn't than, how else do we explain that multibillion dollar industry? Food deserts, desperation, lack of personal time to buy, prep & learn to cook? (You know, THIS has got to be one of _thee most_ depressing comments that I've ever written & posted! I've been on RUclips for well _over_ a decade. The whole fast food industry *is* disgusting, predatory & monstrous. *sigh)
because they have no discipline
I’m taking tirzepatide from a peptide site. It doesn’t curb my appetite like they say it does, but I’m only taking 3 mg/week shot. I will say, I’ve continued the exact identical low carb diet that I was running before, and I IMMEDIATELY within the first week saw facial bloating go away. FOR ME, my typically chubbier cheeks have gone away and I look more chiseled. Around my waist and shoulders, just more definition, more exaggerated “v-line” near obliques and lower abs. I’m only on week 2, just took my second shot a few days ago. For full context, I’m 5’10”, probably 11.5% body fat, 180 lbs, naturally a mesomorph but have low carb dieted myself down to an endomorph look. I’m trying to get to 7-8% body fat, then slowly build muscle by eating a few hundred calories above maintenance over time. I never want to be fat again.
Would have been interesting in hearing more about glp1 agonists as well as thyroid drugs like t2, t3, t4, and clenbuterol
The thyroid drugs suck ass. I’d stick with just clen
Absolutely do not mess with your thyroid hormones for the purpose of losing fat. It's an easy way to give yourself a heat attack.
Clen and Cardarine. Year round 6% at 55 yrs old. Moderate exercise, quality food and supplements
Is good if you drink ISO whey before sleep?
Dr Mike will you be trying ozempic or the like to get peeled?
T3 and CLEN are the best
Steak. Steak is the fat loss supplement that works.
Ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin stack is still pretty much unrivaled as far 100% legal OTC stuff goes
Unrivaled in what? The reasons bodybuilders take it isnt how much more calories it burns but the anti catabolic effect and the beta agonism. If you talk about pure fatburning then its absolutely not unrivaled. Clenbuterol burns much more fat in itself and then you have hardcore fatburners like DNP. These can have serious adverse health effects though. And ephedrine is not legal anymore in most western countries. Im sure you mean synephrine.
@@scottstorchfanephedrine is still available otc. Asthma medicines like broncaide and primatene tablets have ephedrine. Ephedrine sold as a weight loss supp is illegal but you can ask for the asthma meds at the phrama counter. 20 mg ephedrine + 200 caffine works great for appetite suppression and energy maintenance in a calorie deficit.
@@scottstorchfan it’s effective purely because it’s extremely efficacious insofar as blunting appetite, resulting in a caloric deficit. As a fat burner, the stack is not so great, but it’s the appetite suppression that makes it work. No, ephedrine is not banned in western countries. I bought some at Rite Aid yesterday, in fact. In New York. You have to ask the pharmacist for it and show ID, but it’s perfectly legal to purchase if you’re of age. It’s banned as a *supplement*, not as a medicine. Nice profile pic, by the way. That album’s a banger 👍
@@scottstorchfanyou can definitely get real pharma grade ephedrine in the US OTC
@scottstorchfan I thought ephedra was no longer otc. I'm here looking for anything for energy.. I am already on testosterone from a dr. I have next to no energy and desperate. Any tips plz. 40 year old male.
DNP, obviously
So fuckin hard to find now, unfortunately
Fat go boom
"if" a person really wanted to go to that level, then 98% pure cocaine is safer, better results, less side effects.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica it’s not. It’s highly addictive, too. Not worth using in any context outside of medical. Which, I think medical usage is very rare nowadays, but must still be a thing if it’s schedule II 🤷
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer it is better with less side effects. Agree it shouldn't be used but would be better than DNP. I know people here who have been growing, processing and using it for 30+ yrs. They are thin, strong and healthier than other average public here in Colombia.
Back in the day my mom and all her friends were super sprung on fen-fen, phen-phen? Whatever. They loved it. Were super pissed when they made it illegal. And they did all immediately put on a decent amount of weight.
Wtf I can’t find this vid, can someone link it?
Berberine natures ozempic
Keto is a great lifestyle if you don't have other people in your life constantly nudging you to quit it.
It’s weird how tribal some people are about diets. Keto didn’t work for me. It works for you. Both are perfectly fine.
Keto is great if you actually plan for healthy foods. So many people eat absolute garbage on keto, excessive bacon and oils and shit because it’s actually hard to eat a diverse range of whole unprocessed foods and stay keto
Well there is one fat burner that really works, and works well. The problem is the burning part.
Once you realize that you can buy 240 cups worth of instant coffee for 10 bucks and u can put as much as you want in 1 cup of water. That is when you will unlock true weight loss

Just cook food that tastes bad and you won't overeat! It's probably truer than most diet advice.
About 3.5 months ago I decided to just start trying to lose weight. Always been a bit bigger, but never what someone would call fat. But after having two kids and being too sedentary, I saw 240 (6'0-6'1) on the scale and said, "Fuck that." All I've done is walk 3 miles at least 3 times a week and try to eat around 1600 calories, but definitely trying to stay under 2000. Went to unsweet tea, zero calorie sugars and sodas, that powder protein peanut butter, the low calorie ice creams, etc. Lost about 25 pounds so far and I'll start strength-training in the next week or so.
I had the epiphany last week that losing weight isn't hard, it's just a lie that people tell themselves. It's not hard to spend an hour or two a day, at least three or four times a week to work out. It's not hard to cut out and/or down the things that're too high in calories in your day to day life. It's not hard to cook at home more and incorporate more protein in your life. It's not hard to tell yourself, "No, I'm not going to eat that," or, "No, I'm not going to be a lazy bum and not go for a walk." None of it's hard, it's just not in our routine. And it's not like it has to be forever. My plan is, generally, to get to ~180 and continue working out to offset me being more frivolous in how I eat, while maintaining not being a glutenous degenerate every day. I just want to be able to be in good shape for my family, while also not being miserable by excluding foods I enjoy from my life (and marrying a hispanic, it's not a choice).
Also, one of the things me and my wife have discussed is that we're not allowing our children to develop bad habits while they're young, to save them the anguish in the future. I was a really active kid, playing sports every fall and spring, running 25 miles every semester in middle school for PE, I swam in our pool constantly and ran around the yard, etc. But I'd eat like a typical teenager, and didn't slow down enough later when I was less active. So it's my responsibility as a parent to be a benevolent tyrant and not let my kids gorge themselves on food, and take the brunt of tantrums now, so when they're in their 20's and 30's, they can look back and thank me for disciplining them.
Just my two thoughts. I have no real interest in the rabbit hole that are supplements and shit, all I take is a multi-vitamin, B12, and Magnesium. It's too complicated for me, I don't care enough, and I don't have any friends that're nerds in that realm.
Phentermine
Yeah he mentioned that. It's just a stimulant and if you've ever taken it you know the second you come off it (and you have to come off it due to your body getting used to it and the horrible side effects) your hunger rebounds in an INSANE way. Been there done that. Just another way to yo yo weight loss that isn't sustainable.
@@KatyWithAWhyyy oh yeah I agree it boils down to healthy habits. That been said, SHIT works lol.
@@KatyWithAWhyyyI see this supplement is super underrated, I assume it’s also because it’s pretty expensive, but I’ve had amazing results with 7-keto-dhea, 0 side effects
I lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. 2 weeks later, i havent lost 1 pound.
Probably 1/2 is water weight from cutting carbs.
Then you likely cut too fast and now your body is slowing its metabolism down so it doesn’t starve.
How much are you moving? Heavy cut turns me into a door stop. No energy to do anything.
Really enjoy mike but he just hardcore promotes the use of the anorectic drugs. Like why can’t we take a deeper dive into the natural ways to build up will power and to lose weight
What's anerxorial drug ?
Mike almost his pro card !
T3 but not natty. Say goodbye to muscle if so lol
Yohimbine is an mvp. Crack out and go run. Youll get very lean 😂😂😂
DNP works great but can kill you
Taco Bell is our dieting fast food!
I diet at 2200-2700 cals a day depending on how big a deficit I’m going for. So it’s pretty easy to get a meal to be around 800-1000 cals at Taco Bell. 3 hard tacos is only 510 cals.
True. Their power bowls/cantina bowls are great
Hydroxycut 😂
It seems disingenuous not to mention DNP
Not exactly a supplement lol. I think it legally falls under the category of agricultural chemicals
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer still, it works v well
After watching Greg's video makes me look at Mike like an angry ball of muscle all the time
It helps tremendously to be naturally lean. That way you can just lift heavy weight consistently - if you're predominantly fast-twitch muscle fiber - and focus on SIT/HIIT conditioning. The LAST thing anyone wants to do is obsess over or focus on food and dieting. That's NOT the "fun" or "satisfying" part of training!! The focus should be on strength training and conditioning, which leads to BETTER aesthetics (well-developed and well-defined muscularity). Are supplements needed if you eat for well-balanced nutrition and fuel? No. Should Ozempic, and it's derivatives, be used as a weight loss or conditioning (fat loss) supplement INSTEAD of just doing the work? No. It's supposed to be used for obesity, due to a FORMAL DIAGNOSIS of diabetes.
Why ask the guy who can't get peeled what works to get peeled??
Why do so many people fail in their diets? That's easy. Because our culture is designed to make us fat, that's why. Obesity/overweight is not an individual problem; it's a cultural problem.
If a couple of people are overweight, that's on them. But most of us are overweight/obese; that means it's a cultural problem, not an individual problem. That's on all of us.
Corporations are getting rich off of making us all eat too much and exercise too little. Food corporations and drug corporations are fueling each other's profit margins. Look into this. It's true.
We need to deal with obesity the same way we deal with smoking: laws that chip away a little at a time, over the course of decades. Regulate serving sizes of soda. Tax sugar. Require school lunches to contain tasty vegetables. Ban candy advertising during children's shows. Ban single family house zoning (to encourage walking). Etc. Do it over a few decades. In a generation, we will see everyone become normal weight again.
@@julietardos5044 counterpoint: plenty of non obese societies with access to fast and junk food. See Japan, Vietnam. You’re correct on culture, but off the mark that it’s the corporations.
@@Jombozeus Every country in the world, except France, is seeing increases in obesity. Yes, including Japan and Vietnam. Japan's obesity rate is still low, because it started lower than everyone else, but it is climbing. Plus, there's less sugar in Japanese fast food than everywhere else. Like KFC's Japanese cole slaw has very little sugar, while American KFC's cole slaw is like dessert salad.
What is France doing right? I don't know. One thing I know they do is hire actual chefs to plan and oversee school lunches so that the meals are both nutritious and tasty.
American foods in general are lower quality than European food. We have much looser regulations regarding what can actually be in our food.

“What exactly are you a doctor of … mister Venkman?”
L-Carnitine, Green Tea and Berberine after meals. Fast 16-20 hours. Eat less carbohydrates.
Green tea and L carnitine have been show to have little to no impact on metabolism or weight loss unless the argument is consuming fluids reduces the amount of food/calories you consume. A balanced diet has just as much of an impact vs a low carb diet the exception is that for many people when they actually monitor carb intake it reduces a lot of junk/foods with high saturated fats and high sugar content.
None. It’s supplement. Stop with that BS
Just Eat Less.
Doesn’t work like that … hormones control is the main issue. Sure eat less and lift weights … but, also get ur hormone/testosterone up
Wow so insightful
Just Say No.
People in the 50’s did not go to eat out all the time and eat trash food like they do now. Plus they did not have charge cards to constantly charge to eat out.
People are lazier now, and do not want to make the effort to actually prepare food.
This guy has to many excuses for people to not eat properly.
People in the 50s were way more active. Less modern conveniences and more physical jobs. They actually ate less "healthy" foods back then.
Answer: a well formulated ketogenic diet.
For about a year and then it gets you fat.
Answer: a well formulated diet
No diet is magic or special, the best diet is the one YOU can stick to
Yea, no. Keto isn't necessary. Watch more Mike Isratel and you'll know why.
High protein, low carb, low fat. Whole Foods, no processed trash, veggies, chicken, fish, meat, nuts.
Did you actually watch the video?
A sustainable well balanced healthy diet is the answer..
Well he clearly doesn’t know otherwise he wouldn’t be on stage with a layer of fat😂
I mean if you just google image him the first thing that comes up is pics of him at 5-6% bodyfat. Are bodybuilders only allowed to talk about diets while they’re on one? Lol
