I wish people like Dr. Feigenbaum and Dr. Baraki were looked up to the same way rock stars, celebrities, etc. were looked up to. These guys are a gold mine of knowledge that can massively improve quality of life for EVERYONE. Keep doing what you're doing. Meanwhile, I'll keep following your advice and spreading the word.
Went to school for nutrition. I respect your views and knowledge, glad to see a person of influence with the same mindset as me. Obviously tells me I'm on the right path still. Thanks man, i appreciate this immensely.
Crazy that this video doesn't have more likes. If you watch a video called "Nutrition Lecture" from a company called "Barbell Medicine", how was this not exactly what you were looking for!?
Like he said, there’s a difference between gaining strength and gaining muscle. As far as I understand, gaining strength is simply improved by your muscle’s ability to carry/resist a load. So imagine a basic wooden table. That table has a certain amount of weight you can put on it before it collapses in. Now imagine that same exact table, only now it’s made of metal instead of wood. The dimensions are exactly the same, but now it’s made of a stronger material. The metal table can hold a lot more weight than the wooden table even though it’s the same exact size and shape. The table is like your muscles. Though you might not grow muscle size while in a deficit, you can still train your muscles to resist a load better by training them. The make up of your muscles change while still staying the same size.
Dr. Feigenbaum, you're right. Coaching your wife is one way of getting divorce. I tried to get my wife into fitness but she always come up with an excuse excuse i.e "I don't have time to workout". Meanwhile, she's on Facebook for hours and complains about being a fat ass. Ugh!
Anyone who can't find the time, effort or motivation to invest in their health simply doesn't appreciate the value of doing so. Your wife, like so many other people, likely doesn't value herself and Facebook is a distraction, a way of escaping herself. She doesn't need the gym, she needs self-compassion.
Gaining muscle while losing weight definitely seems borderline impossible, but wouldn’t the example of +4kg muscle with -2kg fat be considered gaining weight? So would you say gaining muscle while losing fat be relatively easier or still just as hard?
Great stuff. Please educate me Sir If you have some excess fat around your midsection, would that not be utilized as an energy source and then build muscle if progressively training on maintenance calories ?
Kevin Hunter I hate those shirts, they are made for fat people so are always too long which makes your body look narrow or tubular, and have too much material around the waist and not enough at the chest so you look fat and the shirt is too tight... If you buy those kinds of shirts you gotta be picky, or tailor that shit yourself.
Okay - you can build strength and lose weight at the same time. You (probably) can not build muscle and lose weight at the same time. Can you build muscle and lose fat at the same time with your weight staying the same?
At 11:45 you talk about the first two cases (which I reiterated in my comment after learning those from you), but did you also address the third case? Sorry if I missed it.
Ah thanks, that's a great read so far! What I've learned regarding my previous question is that in Jordan's terminology losing body fat and losing weight are basically the same thing.
Using calculators to find out how much i should eat pr day, tells me to eat about 3500kcal for muscle gain. (According to the "to be a beast" article. I've tracked my food and bw for soon two months, where I've been eating about 4000kcal a day with extra kcal burned from conditioning subtracted. My bw s about the same as when i started... if I were to follow these calculators, I would loose alot of weight...
Normally i dont subtract conditioning kcals either, but I just thought it would make it easier to compare the amount of energy, im eating, with estimated amount. Mabye im just bad at math and cant track my food, but i dont think i would be off with that many kcalories.
Definitely don't agree with this demonization of fat. I feel far better on a high fat diet than a high carb diet with no difference in performance. Unless someone is getting fewer than 200g carbs or is doing an insane amount of cardio, there is no reason not to allocate additional calories into fat.
B3tterTh4nU most of the data suggests some will do worse (cholesterol levels, Cvd risk, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity risk) with higher fat intake, but some do just fine. There was no demonization though imo.
B3tterTh4nU, what's your age and do you see a see a Dr. regularly? You may not feel the same way if your Dr. insists you go on statins. I do thing there should be a differentiation between fats and sat. fats. There are already dietary guidelines for that. If your source of fats is avacado's, nuts, etc. then great... but for most people it's meats, cheeses, dairy, etc. High sat. fat.
24, yes, and my blood markers are fine (not that it matters since I'm a sample size of 1). There is nothing wrong with saturated fats. The only "bad" fats are highly refined vegetable oils which contain a high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio (which could lead to inflammation without sufficient omega 3 intake) , and trans fats. In terms of studies in this area, I'm having a hard time finding any that suggest better blood markers from high-carb diets when compared to high-fat diets. E.g.: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3530364/ "Both low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets lowered weight and improved metabolic risk factors. Compared with participants on low-fat diets, persons on low-carbohydrate diets experienced a slightly but statistically significantly lower reduction in total cholesterol... and low density lipoprotein cholesterol ..., but a greater increase in high density lipoprotein cholesterol ... and a greater decrease in triglycerides ...."

They are..............by the intelligent. Who gives a shit about celebrities????????? Idiots.

This is pure gold... it's a ton of Jordan's articles and posts condensed into 18 minutes... good stuff Jordan
Crazy that this video doesn't have more likes.
If you watch a video called "Nutrition Lecture" from a company called "Barbell Medicine", how was this not exactly what you were looking for!?
Just commenting for the algorithm, the amount of views this deserves is a lot more!
When Jordan is giving a lecture, I always think I'm on a 1.25 mode, until I check and find it's hardly 1.0. :))
Awesome information that most would charge you for. Thanks for making this video Jordan you guys are doing awesome work
Just discovered this channel. I've been listening to a lot of uncle Rippie. This is a very pleasant discovery
Thank you Dr. Feigenbaum, this is great!
Dropping some truthbombs in this one. The scale indeed doesn’t give a fuck! Great info. Thanks Jordan
Thank you for the great info!
I'd love to hear more about the recommended methods to gain strength on a caloric deficit
Like he said, there’s a difference between gaining strength and gaining muscle. As far as I understand, gaining strength is simply improved by your muscle’s ability to carry/resist a load. So imagine a basic wooden table. That table has a certain amount of weight you can put on it before it collapses in. Now imagine that same exact table, only now it’s made of metal instead of wood.

if there was a barbell medicine shirt that said "more nuanced" id buy..
wilkesbooth "first you nuance, Then you titrate" lets steal and go halfsies.
Thanks for this info. I'm interested in sports nutrition.
Dr. Feigenbaum, you're right. Coaching your wife is one way of getting divorce. I tried to get my wife into fitness but she always come up with an excuse excuse i.e "I don't have time to workout". Meanwhile, she's on Facebook for hours and complains about being a fat ass. Ugh!

Smash all the time and tell her shes losing weight every time you two bump naughty bits
This is not true .i train me wife for over 10 years - no problem whatsoever
The Harris-Benedict formula is MINUS (5 × age), not plus.
Just looking out. Thanks for the lectures!
this does it?
manytools.org/handy/bmr-calculator/
Awesome stuff.
Awesome Nutrition series, thanks! Is there recording of the discussion of central fatigue?
Jordan, I love you
Gaining muscle while losing weight definitely seems borderline impossible, but wouldn’t the example of +4kg muscle with -2kg fat be considered gaining weight? So would you say gaining muscle while losing fat be relatively easier or still just as hard?
"Your math game is weak" LOL
Just like my total😭 LOL
Great stuff.
Please educate me Sir
If you have some excess fat around your midsection, would that not be utilized as an energy source and then build muscle if progressively training on maintenance calories ?
No. You need to be in a caloric surplus to create the anabolic environment to build muscle. You're either building, cutting, or maintaining
This is so great
Oh man, thank you doc
does anybody knows where to submit a question ? about sleep disruptions would mine...:(
Great Lecture - off topic Q - What brand/name is that shirt you are wearing during lecture ? It's nice looking ...
Kevin Hunter I hate those shirts, they are made for fat people so are always too long which makes your body look narrow or tubular, and have too much material around the waist and not enough at the chest so you look fat and the shirt is too tight...
If you buy those kinds of shirts you gotta be picky, or tailor that shit yourself.
Do you still recommend 1g/lb protein for overweight trainees?
Travis Kovar depends on the situation. I generally don't go over 250g protein
Do you transcribe these lectures?
Mike Cunning no I do not.
Like it x GainzZz
Okay - you can build strength and lose weight at the same time. You (probably) can not build muscle and lose weight at the same time.
Can you build muscle and lose fat at the same time with your weight staying the same?
Huffman_Tree that's exactly what I said.
At 11:45 you talk about the first two cases (which I reiterated in my comment after learning those from you), but did you also address the third case? Sorry if I missed it.
Ah thanks, that's a great read so far! What I've learned regarding my previous question is that in Jordan's terminology losing body fat and losing weight are basically the same thing.
At 1:54, should it be plus 5 times the age or minus 5 times the age?
+(5*Age). Then, a constant at the end of the equation to account for sex: Male (+5), Female (-161)
Well its possible for me atleast - i lost 12kgs of fat and gained 4kgs of muscles is 2 months

My bw s about the same as when i started... if I were to follow these calculators, I would loose alot of weight...
Martin Sæbye Carøe nah, you wouldn't, but it may be a little under your requirements. And I wouldn't subtract cals expended doing conditioning either.
Normally i dont subtract conditioning kcals either, but I just thought it would make it easier to compare the amount of energy, im eating, with estimated amount.
Mabye im just bad at math and cant track my food, but i dont think i would be off with that many kcalories.
What's your height Jordan?
Iuri Peixoto '5'10 and a half. And half inch matters'- Dr. Jordan feiganbum
pranav nair hahah thank you, funny, I thought he was taller.
This formulae is actually the mifflin st jour equation

B3tterTh4nU demonization lol
