My list S - nonrestrictive diet with good principles A - Paleo, Mediterranean, Pescatarian, Vertical Diet, low FODMAPs B - Vegetarian, Peat C - Keto D - Carnivore, Vegan (with real foods) E - American Vegan (hyperprocessed fake meats), IIFYM F - standard american diet Rationale: S - A tier without the restrictiveness A - all emphasize real foods over processed food and can comprise a complete nutritional profile, somewhat restrictive B - can make a complete diet but certain things to be desired - veg has limited animal sources and peat could use a bit more protein and less sugar C - cutting out/heavily restricting an entire macronutrient group D - I don't think you can make a complete diet cutting out either plants or animals entirely. In practice both seem very unsustainable and feel good in the short term with many people quitting from nutritional deficiencies/issues E - Vegan diets that rely on hyperprocessed foods (like beyond meat) are simply worse than the ones that rely on real plant foods (like many asian dishes). But at least they probably arent fat. IIFYM also wont make you fat but plentiful health problems if your diet is mostly processed junk F - self explanatory
To be fair, I feel like the 80-20 IIFYM diet is the best one. Having some "fixed clean meals" with which you hit your daily protein, some of your carbs and some of your fats, everything from "healthy" sources and whole foods, and afterwards leaving one or two meals a day where you just eat whatever you want. For example like you have some avocado toast with some salmon in the morning, some rice with beef/chicken before your workout, post workout maybe some egg and tuna salad and afterwards your last meal or last two meals to be anything like some ice cream, maybe some chips, maybe you crave some dessert.
The "if it fits your macros" needs just a bit of extra restrictions to be an S tier diet imo, and that's my diet. It's a bit hard to define specifically, but I guess it would end up similar to yours. The difference for me is that I rely in a way on high in protein replacements of "bad foods" like chocolate bars or chips.. I can get 60g of protein in a day from a high protein no sugar chocolate bar that I got from trader Joe's Lol
I am kind of a whatever fits your macros but try to get most of the macros from animals. I eat mostly red meat, fish, dairy products, aswell as eating fruits and vegatables as fillers because I used to be fat and have a tendency to over eat. I don't know what to label it as because its takes from all of the diets. I do not completely restrict myself from processed foods or grandma's cooking, but it is something I do in moderation.
S tier - My diet is low carb/keto (since 2017). High in fiber, non-starchy vegetables, berries, protein and fatty fish. Low in saturated fat (except cacao) and red meat. Strict at home, more relaxed when eating out. A - Mediterranean, TNF diet B - Vegetarian C - Paleo, Vegan, Keto D - Carnivore, IIFYM F - S.A.D
same with the oreos.. i can have just 1.... package xD.. my diet is similar to the vertical diet, animal based and the paleo. big red meat and fruit guy, potatoes, white rice, greens, berries, greek yogurt, oatmeal, whey, nut butters, whole grains, sourdough, eggs, i try to stick to mostly whole foods. and very nutrient dense ones. sometimes i choose to have other foods that are less nutrient dense and otherwise not as healthy because they taste good, like ice cream and pop tarts things. i try to be strategic when i have these kind of foods and use them if i am doing an extremely intense day in the gym or going on a hike or something
my ranking would probably be: my diet, vegetarian (done that before and I'd rather stop eating meat than dairy and a few other things), paleo, mediterranian, keto, carnivore, vegan (just bc I couldn't stick to it AT ALL), IIFYM (I actually think this deserves e tier given you take it literally) and the standart american diet
I mean when you diet (especially aggressive cut) you stop see food as food and its only cals, macros and micronutrients....so a mix of those diets to your calorie goals i guess is the best...if you know what you are doing...another great video from tnf🫡🤝
Fuck no it’s not, Paul is tricking you to make money, Brendan (Santacruzmedicinals) actually wants you healthy and cares, Paul is a joke and makes you have food anxiety for stuff that’s healthy
Personally I eat lots of low carb tortillas, avocado, eggs, turkey sausage, beef stew, oats, and low carb pizza. Seems to work for me, I basically just modified a normal American diet with less processed foods and keto breads and some sweeteners.
I'm like mediterranean diet with enough protein to build muscle, been eating hella olives lately. Also including some red meat and fish with high fiber. Not really any "forbidden fruits" to create a forbidden fruit effect (always thinking bout foods you've forbidden). I will have junk sometimes as long as it fits into the calorie budget, most is whole foods.
TNF what do you think about controversial food ingridients like food dyes and seed oils are they really bad or the effects are overstated or studies are misinterpreted? A video on that would really help!!
On a minicut rn and I’ll say keto/paleo are not the way to do it because without carbs and fats your energy will be horrible. People need to learn about calories in and calories out, and the functions of different macronutrients.
Can you make a video on how to track calories for beginners and how to calculate calories, bulking, and cutting please? Ik it’s common knowledge but I’d like to see you explain it
Can you make a TikTok about how to structure calories on a rest , if you should lower carbs and eat maintenance or eat more on a rest day I’ve heard both and I’m confused
At least, I can say that maintenace makes zero sense bc you're still recovering, however eating lower cals might already be a surplus. I personally would just stick to a completely standardized plan / calorie number that gives you an optimal weekly rate of weight gain as I think that these slight differences don't really matter as long as you're in a net surplus of 200 - 500 kcal per day.

If you're going to do a rapid, short-term fat loss diet it's valid. The real question is is an aggressive high calorie deficit diet best for someone already lean and muscular on a diet. You can also do "PSMF day" on your rest days and have much more calories on traiing days to where the average deficit over the week is appropriate for you to not lose muscle & get good fat loss. If you're doing a massive calorie deficit PSMF (if you are morbidly obese for example) is just the way you gotta do it to not be ravenously hungry (getting in lean the protein and eating veggies basically). I have seen fairly lean and muscular people o it for way too long consecutively (like 6 weeks) and lose so much muscle because the calorie deficit was too big. Go figure, your body will burn your muscle for energy if you are starving on 1,000 calories a day as a man. PSMF is meant for short periods of time, like if you have a photo shoot next on week on short notice and you need most fat loss possible in a week. I wouldn't go longer than two weeks consecutively.
I’m really struggling growing my triceps. I’ve now realized that my volume is way too high. Does anyone have any tips? I like dips pushdowns and overhead extensions but idrk anymore
Just go til failure, and then go beyond that. Form is most important cuz if your form isn’t right, who’s to say you’re even hitting your tris? Control the weight fully, the weight doesn’t matter, as long as the last rep was really fucking hard to do
10:08 chips are the worst food invention in history. Fried in bad oils, salted to death, artificial flavoring or coloring, high in fat, low in protein and nutrients, & most importantly you eat a lot of chips & still don't feel full/satiated
I would love to see a video about why nowadays nobody eats during diet like Menzer with 80-90% carbs or even Tom Platz with 2% bodyfat still ate 400gr carbs. They all didn’t care at all about protein. Why do we have all these protein worship? That’s would be an interesting video 😊
@@lifeaccordingtoeli Shortly before a competition he was at Mentzer and he said he had 2% body fat. Maybe it was 3% or 4% but it doesn’t matter. The most important fact is that he ate a ton of carbs like Mentzer and was skinned af. This high protein nonsense is a new invention based on a multi billion industry. I remember when Nasser El Sonbaty admitted that he consumed less than 100g of protein at a body weight of 150kg but all the 70kg lightweights clowns in the gyms talk about 1-2.5gr per kg body weight are necessary🤣🤣
The actual macros per person is not what the diet is. You could be high carb Mediterranean, low carb Paleo, medium carb IIFYM…or any mix of macros. The actual diet itself is the foods you eat, unless specified in the diet the macro split (like Keto). Paleo doesn’t have strict macros but rather a focus on Whole Foods.
@@TypicallyUniqueOfficial Considering that the body draws its energy primarily from carbohydrates, any low-carb diet is simply stupid. Of course you can lose weight in the short term, but only in the short term. In the long term, it's just incredibly unwise.
My list
S - nonrestrictive diet with good principles
A - Paleo, Mediterranean, Pescatarian, Vertical Diet, low FODMAPs
B - Vegetarian, Peat
C - Keto
D - Carnivore, Vegan (with real foods)
E - American Vegan (hyperprocessed fake meats), IIFYM
F - standard american diet
Rationale:
S - A tier without the restrictiveness
A - all emphasize real foods over processed food and can comprise a complete nutritional profile, somewhat restrictive
B - can make a complete diet but certain things to be desired - veg has limited animal sources and peat could use a bit more protein and less sugar
C - cutting out/heavily restricting an entire macronutrient group
D - I don't think you can make a complete diet cutting out either plants or animals entirely. In practice both seem very unsustainable and feel good in the short term with many people quitting from nutritional deficiencies/issues
E - Vegan diets that rely on hyperprocessed foods (like beyond meat) are simply worse than the ones that rely on real plant foods (like many asian dishes). But at least they probably arent fat. IIFYM also wont make you fat but plentiful health problems if your diet is mostly processed junk

Surprised he didn't make a "diet mountain dew diet" and throw it in that tier to join them
Bro literally mentioned how Keto people are loud and that leaves an unfairly sour taste in peoples mouths, then did exactly that with vegans
vegans probably better you have soy and plant protein for protein and not as many nutritional deficiencies with carnivore
What a dumb comment. People go vegan for ethics people go carnivore because they want an early death 😂
