Hey Chris this was an excellent podcast as I’m back on a fat loss journey after having lost 30lbs on keto/carnivore a couple years ago and happened to put on 50lbs over the last winter. I’m now on a journey to create a diet that I can maintain indefinitely so as to lose the fat but then transition to maintenance for the rest of my life and avoid the bulk (fat bulk 😂)
Calories ultimately count. But a surplus of 25 kcal per day gives you 1kg gain per year. There is absolutely no way to determine your need and intake to that precision counting. The easiest way to go is to eat the right food and let your body and hormones do the hunger regulation. Low carb and two meals a day work wonderfully. Lost 8kg (8%) in two month not counting once.
I'm a primary care physician and I *WILL* recommend this whole fullsize movie of a video podcast to anyone who is interested in learning about any of this stuff. This actually was a masterpiece supported by excellent hosting. One of the best videos I've seen on RUclips.
Yep I’d say my life is complete but that’s simply dogshit. However i am quite happy. Mike and Mike both interview and workout were great. And now Chris n Mike together. World is synergizing well.
I recently discovered Dr. Mike. I subscribed to his YT channel and listened to his content. I'm a 51 yr old Tongan female. I couldn't believe he said Tonga. Almost everyone knows what a Samoan is, but no one really knows us Tongan. He was spot on about our people! We do love to eat, and we are happy jolly people to hang out with. I've watched his stuff on hypertrophy, and I've downloaded the RP hypertrophy app. I don't count my calories, and I lift weights 5 to 6 days a week. I average about 15 k steps a day. Since applying what Dr. Mike says, I've gotten stronger, and I've lost fat and weight. It's so weird to lose fat and weight when I haven't really changed the way I eat. I just changed the way I exercise. I don't do cardio, but I work 12 hrs at a production type job, and that's how I get my steps in. Oh, I forgot, I also started taking creatine. For about a month or 2 ago. Thanks Dr Mike for all your useful advice!! I can bench as much as I used to in high school!! As we age, we need to lift heavy. At some point, when I stop losing weight, I'll probably change my diet more. Lol. But yup, this Pacific Islander loves to eat too much! Good thing I love lifting heavy just as much!
This gentlemen is spot on. I lost 35 lbs in 6 months got to just under 10% body fat in my mid 30’s as a challenge to myself to see if i can get super lean. He is absolutely spot on.

Same for me, but it's much easier to maintain that appetite if you've never had periods of time when you were so ravenous that even packing on pounds couldn't stop you (which I think is what has happened to most people). It's actually better to never have to lose weight, that gives you the ultimate advantage.
@@MegaLaban12345irrelevant, even if he’s getting fat doing it it’s still 3 years of (hopefully) solid training gaining as much muscle as possible in a hyper caloric state. Just a matter of shifting the fat now
He's really a blessing to mankind. I sometimes listen to his lectures/podcasts with him just to brighten up my mood, not to mention how motivating he is to train
If the profile pic is you then you have succeeded and may not be putting any women at ease about muscle mass any time soon women probably point at you and say oh no I don't want to look like him what's he doing curls that's off my list now
I lost 18 kgs since February, thanks to Dr. Mike! At about 13-14 body fat percentage now. 3 more KGs, and I'm entering the maintenance phase, until November.
@@spary5751 Watch Dr Mike's videos. He has a playlist on fat loss, basically a step by step guide on how to truly lose fat, and never regain it. The secret key is to not believe all the lies spread by charlatans. They usually help you lose WEIGHT (emphasis on weight, not fat) without a care about developing proper habits, or concern about the muscle loss, and they don't give you directions on how to KEEP yourself fit. If you lose weight by cutting corners using the ways of charlatans, you will simply become an obese person in a fit body. You need to develop habits of a fit person, and your body will follow. Just watch Dr Mike's playlist, and several of his videos expanding on the topic more. Remember to be forgiving and understanding of yourself, but also, don't lose your discipline. It's extremely hard, I looked at fries in trash the other day, and had craving of eating them, it's brutal, but I'm at the end of it, and will soon begin the maintenance phase, to rest my mind and metabolism. I've lost 4 more KGs since my last comment btw, adjusted the target goal, 1 more kilo, and that's it. Decided to lose extra, to look good once I'm at the peak of my bulk phase.

Also, I wasn't mentally obese before I began the cut, I gained 10 kilos intentionally, and it made losing weight easier because I wasn't really a fat guy mentally. I imagine it will be a bit harder, if you're an obese person by lifestyle, because you'll have to learn completely new skills and habits, and change the way you live completely. Don't let that discourage you though, you can do it, it may take much longer than you hope, but BE EASY ON YOURSELF, mental changes are not a linear progression, it takes time, discipline, and understanding of your shortcomings.
Measuring yourself along with weighing gives you a good idea of what's happening. My weight hasn't moved in 3 weeks but I've lost half an inch off my waist and put an extra KG/rep on most exercises. Tells me I've still lost fat but put a little muscle on, which is a good sign.
You can also go get a full body composition read. I lost 4 pounds but went down a lot with my body fat %. We have a complete nutrition shop here and it's 20$ to do it and u can do a comparison from previous readings.
I would REALLY love like a series of conversations between this two legends. like a 4 episode series or something like that. Going super in depth. These two together are magnetic.
I've been into fitness and nutrition for ten years, including learning from RUclips content for many years, and this is probably the best and most comprehensive video on this subject matter 💯💪 Another Modern Wisdom banger of an episode 🙏
Just search your query + RP, or RP Strength. e.g. "how to lose fat RP" Dr. Mike and RP have put out 1000s of hours of free information about diet, fitness and health + ebooks + an amazing diet app.
Rarely have I chuckled so much while learning something so useful for my health 😂 Dr. Mike is such a good storyteller, I love how he packaged info into fun. Well done!
Training abs is something I find helpful as a woman who wants a particular physique but doesn’t want to get down into unhealthy body fat percentages (Sub 20%-ish). Having my abdominal muscle be a bit thicker is helpful for that, so I train them like I would any other muscle for hypertrophy. Full range of motion, 3-ish sets of 10-20 reps (rep range that works for me) of 2 exercises 2x per week. Also helps because (1) I train jiu jitsu so being able to move powerfully through kind of a v-up range of motion is helpful. (2) I climb so having a lot of endurance through a leg raise type of motion is helpful. Train for your goals. Doing some random half hour or hour long ab routine is, for a lot of people, just taking time that could be better spent elsewhere.
I’m surprised that I absolutely loved this ! Mike has my same awkward sense of humor. I appreciate his expertise and compassion. I appreciate that he doesn’t jump on the uninformed bandwagon of negativity on glp1s. Thank you.
Soylean joke targeted at coders had me dying. Also, the slippery slope of wife skipping grocery store trip and it causing divorce was hilarious. Thanks for the humor packed data rich episode.
I loved the last episode with Dr Mike so much I started following him on social media. Chris, I want you to know I do not hold you responsible for what I have been exposed to since that fateful day. I just thought you should know that.
Fantastic podcast! I'm so thankful that you made this second episode with Mike, especially covering this specific topic as well. This is the exact knowledge that I was looking for and you're doing wonders giving this information away for free.
Love the content but the amount of ad reads per video is the worst I've ever seen in any podcast. Not like 3 or 4, there has been 6 and I'm not even half way through. Crazy
fortunately they put a progress bar in the bottom so skipping past the ad is super easy. if that's the price we have to pay for free content, i'm more than happy to bear that inconvenience
I’m trying to think how many commercials I would see watching a 2 hour movie on cable. More or less? Don’t know but what do you expect if you’re not paying for RUclips premium?
I loved this interview discussion with Dr. Mike, and you really came in prepared with well thought out, concise, on point questions, Chris. You both were flipping awesome and entertaining. 💖💕💕
Takeaway from this video - science has come full circle through all the kooky "1 weird tips for a flat belly" and discovered that you really just need to do what grandma always said: eat your greens, some chicken soup, not too much, get a bit of exercise, and a full night's sleep.
I haven’t commented on RUclips in a decade… this spoke to me. On a lotta levels. I don’t want give personal details, but I’m in. This gives me a realistic pov. Cheers on a good show from AZ.✌️
I have so many friends who listen to so many wacky things online about fat loss 'im not losing weight because I'm not eating enough calories' like fkn what bro? its nuts how over complicated people make nutrition and dieting for fat loss and overall health. massive props to Dr. Mike love this guy
This is the 3rd time he's been a guest here. I think the first podcast was more on his views on different subjects, the second was about hypertrophy and then this one
Trying to not tell people that my gf was on Ozempic was a nightmare. Calorie counting is great and all. She eats relatively healthy (prior to Ozempic). In saying that, she is literally black or white with diets. She cant have a middleground. She would fluctuate around 100kg, because she couldn't control 2 things. 1, not finishing her plate. Thanks Mum. 2, snacks. If she avoids snacks, she could do so for a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, the moment she breaks and has 1? She is solely eating snacks. Ozempic fixed both. Now because she has lost over 20kg in 6 months, she enjoys going to the gym more as she doesnt look as fat so she fits in more with the body size of others there. Less attention on her. For people that have control over certain things, I can imagine the hate on pharmaceuticals. In saying that, some people have actual issues with things like what I described above which makes calorie deficits hard to be sustainable.
@@hitmanqoso by your logic that’s why you should always suffer through a headache and never take paracetamol? Drugs exist for a reason, take them or don’t it’s personal choice but don’t try to guilt trip others for not choosing the same as you. There is no moral high ground on this one
@@Robdutton91 I was not clear enough, but I meant it for a person who does not needs drugs for health related issues, just to have a better control over a diet or something similar. In that case there are better answers, than taking pills to fix your selfcontrol.
That's some puritan nonsense. Should people not take drugs to control their cholesterol? You do what you want, don't prescribe what others should do @@hitmanqo
@@hitmanqoHit - I tend to agree, except that millions of Americans are morbidly obese and have been for years through cycle after cycle of yo-yo dieting that tends to reduce lean mass. Dr. Mike would say that losing a lot of that fat will improve your health. And realistically, once you are thinner, the load on your body when you exercise is less harmful. So, we need to be careful who we recommend avoid drugs. There is no stigma if you need it for health. And I agree with you that using it to achieve sub-10% fat levels in a man is vanity and not a good idea.
Most people fail their diets, like he said, they don't do something that they can stick to long term. Find a "diet" you can stick to for the rest of your life, not just temporarily. Make it a lifestyle, and the weight will stay off. Great video, Mike always spitting facts.
If you absolutely desire ice cream, I can 10000x recommend Ninja Creami and making your own. Milk, Almond Milk, Sugar-Free Jello flavor mix, a scoop of protein, zero-cal sugar, freeze for a day, pop into light ice cream setting, add 2-4 oreos into it, and that's like 300~ calories for a whole ass pint. It's been a game changer for me.
I really enjoy your show. You have great topics and very interesting guests. I always learn something new when I listen. I really like Dr. Mikes humor in this interview.
Great podcast with Dr. Mike Israetel (PhD). I follow him, Dr. Eric Helms (PhD), Dr. Layne Norton (PhD), Meno Henslemen and Jeff Nippard as well. When it comes to nutritional sciences Dr. Norton is second to none. When it comes to exercise physiology and volume recommendations Dr. Mike Israetel is also second to none. With that being said I like Dr. Eric Helms the best. All the above docs know their stuff indeed. But not all of them are natty, and once you cross over to using "PEDs" things just become easier for you than going full natty. I am an intermediate weightlifter, but I also don't compete. I do it so that as I age, I can maintain as much strength as working out, nutrition, and creatine will take me (currently I am 45). Finally, I just want to add that there was one thing that Dr. Israetel said that I disagree with. As of March 5, 2024, the website "Medical News Today" wrote an article about how researchers looked at data from the U.K. Biobank, which found that frequent consumption of sweetened drinks whether they were naturally sweet or artificially sweetened like DIET SODA carries a heightened risk of afib with ARTIFICIALLY SWEETNED DIET SODA CARRYING THE GREATEST RISK. Furthermore, the findings (Abstract) were published in a journal of the AHA called "Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology". DISCLAIMER: I used to drink 1 diet soda a day, because it was a good change up from water (or so I thought) but now I have switched to regular soda and drink it about 3x per week (average), which totals to about 36oz a week. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid water drinker, but I do like a change up every so often, (like with my dinner meal). As a person that respects evidence-based research I believe that ALL THE EVIDENCE should be considered in order for a person to make an informed decision. I still like Dr. Israetel and I assume that he was not aware of this rather recent publication.
Ok I'm doing it. I used your link and ordered my first pack of AG1. I commit to take it daily and will try to come back here in 1 month and 3 month to give my review
@@DetroitBargainHomes I took it and got a refund after 2 months. I think it worked, but the effects are too small for the price. I’d probably take it if was (much) wealthier
I would never argue that. I do think it’s misleading when people say calories are all that matter though even though it’s true. I believe most people will maintain a healthy weight if they just eat healthy minimally processed foods and minimal sugar. You can also lose weight by counting calories and eating less of what ever you want like that professor who lost weight eating Twinkie’s. When people say that calories are all that matter I think it misleads people into believing that for weight loss the content of their diet doesn’t matter just the amount. That is 100% true in theory but in practice the people struggling to eat in a deficit are the people eating junk and the people succeeding in eating in a deficit are usually eating healthy. Even in this video he talks about using your willpower for other things. I think eating healthy foods and not counting every calorie you eat is the low willpower way of losing weight and people who say CICO is all that matters are leading people away from that conclusion.
@@needaudio1ok not reading all that but just the beginning - misleading? Anything that makes you eat less calories works well, but the fact that it all comes down to JUST LESS CALORIES has to be understood, otherwise we'll never be rid of all the bullshit floating around and people saying "it's not as simple as calories in calories out blah blah blah" yes it is exactly as simple as that (simple, but not easy to do at all)
@@needaudio1different foods have different levels of caloric availability so it definitely is not just the number of calories in the food that matters. The insulin response to the food also matters.
@@metalmarten3478 yes but it is easy if you just eat Whole Foods for most people. Which is why I think saying it doesn’t matter what you eat it’s just about calories is stupid. If it doesn’t matter what you eat just the amount a lot of people are going to struggle. If it doesn’t matter how much u eat so long as it’s Whole Foods that makes losing weight very easy for most people
Insulin resistance should mentioned here too, together with in/out calories. Many people have prediabetic condition or worth, so their homeostasis is already out of balance.
I love the way Dr Mike explains things. Unlike many Drs he explains things in a digestible way for the layperson.... & always in that cheeky irreverent manner.
@ChrisWillx couldn't be more proud of you and happy for the way your hard work, stoicism and integrity paid off with awesome pod accelerating never to slow down. You deserve all the Best, broh! Just sayen tho, I miss the days of listening/ looking at you standing in plain white Tee kinda addressing "us". Nostalgic now to remember the early days. Peace and ❤
I haven’t been dieting for long, and I’m not obese at all, but I’ve grown concerned about my health and weight as I get older. I’ve noticed that most of my success so far is because of discipline and self control. I know ice cream makes me lose my mind, so I avoid it. I consciously decide not to eat it because I know I’m going to want more. Discipline, commitment, & consistency. Great conversation!
38:17 Chris, bro, this is an important topic (starting at 30:16). I think Mike made a compelling case equating ozempic to any other human-created tool. I suspect you have some thoughts on the topic and I'm curious why you didn't discuss it in further depth.
This is a legendary video, its only confirmed what ive been doing is correct, and added some much needed tips for maintaining this lifestyle, thank you, i will comeback to this video often
@adamdevos5101 doesn't define "matter" and gives a very careful and rehearsed answer. When does he address hormones and blood sugar? Dr Mike isn't about to risk his audience so he sticks to uncontroversial advice. Nothing wrong with his advice for most people. It's best to KISS for the masses.
@LearningHowToLiveYT the Human body is not a test tube. The argument from thermodynamics is flawed. It's how your body decides what to store as fat is what's important.

I am eating a full pint of Ben & Jerry's while watching this. Had to hit pause as the Pizza's just arrived. I will start mt diet on Monday 2029
God bless America
Diet starts Monday! God these fries are good! Welcome to the GAP, can I sell you some crap?!

Bulking szn
On the floor laughing my ample caboose off! Thanks for this comment friend.
I like how all these videos about fat loss are coming out with Dr. Mike now that I decided to stop bulking after 3 years.
To many years
You were not bulking for 3 years, you were overeating mate 😀
😀👍

Man, I fucking love Dr. Mike. He is so realistic, down-to-earth and hilarious. Always such a joy to see him on your show.
He's really a blessing to mankind. I sometimes listen to his lectures/podcasts with him just to brighten up my mood, not to mention how motivating he is to train
This is arguably the best video on RUclips on this topic.
I can not stress how much I appreciate the quality of the audio and visually pleasing tone of your content. Thank you, I'm forever grateful over here💗

I lost 18 kgs since February, thanks to Dr. Mike!
At about 13-14 body fat percentage now. 3 more KGs, and I'm entering the maintenance phase, until November.
Wait what? How?
@@spary5751 what do you mean?
@@musikamusika1736 How'd you lose so much weight so fast?
@@spary5751 Watch Dr Mike's videos. He has a playlist on fat loss, basically a step by step guide on how to truly lose fat, and never regain it.
The secret key is to not believe all the lies spread by charlatans. They usually help you lose WEIGHT (emphasis on weight, not fat) without a care about developing proper habits, or concern about the muscle loss, and they don't give you directions on how to KEEP yourself fit.
If you lose weight by cutting corners using the ways of charlatans, you will simply become an obese person in a fit body. You need to develop habits of a fit person, and your body will follow. Just watch Dr Mike's playlist, and several of his videos expanding on the topic more.
Remember to be forgiving and understanding of yourself, but also, don't lose your discipline. It's extremely hard, I looked at fries in trash the other day, and had craving of eating them, it's brutal, but I'm at the end of it, and will soon begin the maintenance phase, to rest my mind and metabolism.
I've lost 4 more KGs since my last comment btw, adjusted the target goal, 1 more kilo, and that's it. Decided to lose extra, to look good once I'm at the peak of my bulk phase.

Also, I wasn't mentally obese before I began the cut, I gained 10 kilos intentionally, and it made losing weight easier because I wasn't really a fat guy mentally. I imagine it will be a bit harder, if you're an obese person by lifestyle, because you'll have to learn completely new skills and habits, and change the way you live completely. Don't let that discourage you though, you can do it, it may take much longer than you hope, but BE EASY ON YOURSELF, mental changes are not a linear progression, it takes time, discipline, and understanding of your shortcomings.
Measuring yourself along with weighing gives you a good idea of what's happening. My weight hasn't moved in 3 weeks but I've lost half an inch off my waist and put an extra KG/rep on most exercises. Tells me I've still lost fat but put a little muscle on, which is a good sign.
Same
You can also go get a full body composition read. I lost 4 pounds but went down a lot with my body fat %. We have a complete nutrition shop here and it's 20$ to do it and u can do a comparison from previous readings.
I would REALLY love like a series of conversations between this two legends. like a 4 episode series or something like that. Going super in depth. These two together are magnetic.
I feel like he went pretty in depth dude. How much more can he say about the subject of fat loss, energy balance and exercise? He covered it well.

Dr. Mike is so good at explaining these topics so anybody can understand, and makes it interesting and funny too
I've been into fitness and nutrition for ten years, including learning from RUclips content for many years, and this is probably the best and most comprehensive video on this subject matter 💯💪 Another Modern Wisdom banger of an episode 🙏
I had the opposite problem, and learned how to gain weight from Dr. Mike.
I like this guy.
This was easily the most understandable description I have ever heard of why the human body works how it does. This guy is awesome
This is an incredibly valuable resource. Thank you for asking the right questions and listening well.
Dude, he should write a book just on this topic. His examples and explanations are great. Take my money.
They have like 8 books, search Renaissance periodization
He wrote multiple books many years back
Just search your query + RP, or RP Strength.
e.g. "how to lose fat RP"
Dr. Mike and RP have put out 1000s of hours of free information about diet, fitness and health + ebooks + an amazing diet app.
Rarely have I chuckled so much while learning something so useful for my health 😂 Dr. Mike is such a good storyteller, I love how he packaged info into fun. Well done!
Mike's reaction to his entire being getting condensed as "Mr scienceman" is hilarious.
That's Doctor Scienceman to you
@@mattmcfly2165that's MISTER Dr. Science Man to you, sir!
Training abs is something I find helpful as a woman who wants a particular physique but doesn’t want to get down into unhealthy body fat percentages (Sub 20%-ish).
Having my abdominal muscle be a bit thicker is helpful for that, so I train them like I would any other muscle for hypertrophy. Full range of motion, 3-ish sets of 10-20 reps (rep range that works for me) of 2 exercises 2x per week.
Also helps because
(1) I train jiu jitsu so being able to move powerfully through kind of a v-up range of motion is helpful.
(2) I climb so having a lot of endurance through a leg raise type of motion is helpful.
Train for your goals. Doing some random half hour or hour long ab routine is, for a lot of people, just taking time that could be better spent elsewhere.
Possibly the best single piece of content on fat loss I've ever seen
I watch all of mikes videos and this interview was by far one of the best, information packed videos I've seen. great interview!!!
I’m surprised that I absolutely loved this ! Mike has my same awkward sense of humor. I appreciate his expertise and compassion. I appreciate that he doesn’t jump on the uninformed bandwagon of negativity on glp1s. Thank you.
Yess! Love this guy and his sense of humour I don't even know how to categorise! Thanks for keep bringing cool guests
This might be the best podcast ever delivered on the subject of fat loss.
Thank you Dr Mike for the lack of moralizing nonsense on sema - I cannot say enough times how much better my life is without constant hunger.
So pumped he is back again honestly think this should be every 3 months
BTW, the best weightlifting workout is the one you actually get your ass up and do. That’s the key. Don’t get hurt and don’t quit.
Mike's explanation about why calories matter is the best I've heard! ...and I heard many try to explain it.. you're great Mike..
We get a double bubble of Dr. Mike today.. MW and the Dr.M Making Progress channel as well as RP Strength 💪
Today is a Great day!
I work a PT job at my local GNC. totally enjoyed this video while working my planograms and selling to my customers. Good job Chris and Mike.
Soylean joke targeted at coders had me dying. Also, the slippery slope of wife skipping grocery store trip and it causing divorce was hilarious.
Thanks for the humor packed data rich episode.
Soooooooo many jewels in this video! And Dr. Mike’s analogies be on point! Good stuff!
I loved the last episode with Dr Mike so much I started following him on social media.
Chris, I want you to know I do not hold you responsible for what I have been exposed to since that fateful day.
I just thought you should know that.
Fantastic podcast! I'm so thankful that you made this second episode with Mike, especially covering this specific topic as well. This is the exact knowledge that I was looking for and you're doing wonders giving this information away for free.
Love the content but the amount of ad reads per video is the worst I've ever seen in any podcast. Not like 3 or 4, there has been 6 and I'm not even half way through. Crazy
fortunately they put a progress bar in the bottom so skipping past the ad is super easy. if that's the price we have to pay for free content, i'm more than happy to bear that inconvenience
@@haykkhulyan6201 I understand but I also pay for premium. I'm paying extra to NOT see ads lol
Agreed. Come on Chris. Walk the talk! Don’t get me wrong, we are doing work to make money. But don’t milk it to death 😂.
@sharpfather if you keep reporting ads or closing out the app when one pops up they will give you less ads it's worth it
I’m trying to think how many commercials I would see watching a 2 hour movie on cable. More or less? Don’t know but what do you expect if you’re not paying for RUclips premium?
I loved this interview discussion with Dr. Mike, and you really came in prepared with well thought out, concise, on point questions, Chris. You both were flipping awesome and entertaining. 💖💕💕
Takeaway from this video - science has come full circle through all the kooky "1 weird tips for a flat belly" and discovered that you really just need to do what grandma always said: eat your greens, some chicken soup, not too much, get a bit of exercise, and a full night's sleep.
I haven’t commented on RUclips in a decade… this spoke to me. On a lotta levels. I don’t want give personal details, but I’m in. This gives me a realistic pov. Cheers on a good show from AZ.✌️
Dr. Mike is the type of guy I’ll be scared to be alone with in the locker room.
You're scared of how attracted to him you are, I assume
Bro this made me cry 😂
Waiting to hear about vo2 max, longevity. There are differences between strolling, brisk walking, jogging, running, sprinting, etc.
Im on a fat loss, maintaining my weight and build more muscle journey. Based on what I’ve experimented on my own body, this guy is damn right!
Love Mike , good call getting him on for round two Chris
I have so many friends who listen to so many wacky things online about fat loss
'im not losing weight because I'm not eating enough calories'
like fkn what bro?
its nuts how over complicated people make nutrition and dieting for fat loss and overall health.
massive props to Dr. Mike love this guy
Need him as a guest again but this time talking about his philosophical ideas in his 2nd channel 🙌
This is the 3rd time he's been a guest here. I think the first podcast was more on his views on different subjects, the second was about hypertrophy and then this one
Cliff notes on his philosophical views?
I love the two athletes just chilling in crocs and vans. Real human beings
Trying to not tell people that my gf was on Ozempic was a nightmare. Calorie counting is great and all. She eats relatively healthy (prior to Ozempic). In saying that, she is literally black or white with diets. She cant have a middleground.
She would fluctuate around 100kg, because she couldn't control 2 things. 1, not finishing her plate. Thanks Mum. 2, snacks. If she avoids snacks, she could do so for a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, the moment she breaks and has 1? She is solely eating snacks.
Ozempic fixed both. Now because she has lost over 20kg in 6 months, she enjoys going to the gym more as she doesnt look as fat so she fits in more with the body size of others there. Less attention on her.
For people that have control over certain things, I can imagine the hate on pharmaceuticals. In saying that, some people have actual issues with things like what I described above which makes calorie deficits hard to be sustainable.
Even if you have probems being consistent with calories, drugs are still not the right choice.
@@hitmanqoso by your logic that’s why you should always suffer through a headache and never take paracetamol? Drugs exist for a reason, take them or don’t it’s personal choice but don’t try to guilt trip others for not choosing the same as you. There is no moral high ground on this one
@@Robdutton91 I was not clear enough, but I meant it for a person who does not needs drugs for health related issues, just to have a better control over a diet or something similar. In that case there are better answers, than taking pills to fix your selfcontrol.
That's some puritan nonsense. Should people not take drugs to control their cholesterol? You do what you want, don't prescribe what others should do @@hitmanqo
@@hitmanqoHit - I tend to agree, except that millions of Americans are morbidly obese and have been for years through cycle after cycle of yo-yo dieting that tends to reduce lean mass. Dr. Mike would say that losing a lot of that fat will improve your health. And realistically, once you are thinner, the load on your body when you exercise is less harmful. So, we need to be careful who we recommend avoid drugs. There is no stigma if you need it for health. And I agree with you that using it to achieve sub-10% fat levels in a man is vanity and not a good idea.
Dr. Mike is an absolute treasure!
I love Dr Mike's measured sarcasm😅 totally could be a comic
Most people fail their diets, like he said, they don't do something that they can stick to long term. Find a "diet" you can stick to for the rest of your life, not just temporarily. Make it a lifestyle, and the weight will stay off. Great video, Mike always spitting facts.
If you absolutely desire ice cream, I can 10000x recommend Ninja Creami and making your own. Milk, Almond Milk, Sugar-Free Jello flavor mix, a scoop of protein, zero-cal sugar, freeze for a day, pop into light ice cream setting, add 2-4 oreos into it, and that's like 300~ calories for a whole ass pint. It's been a game changer for me.
I really enjoy your show. You have great topics and very interesting guests. I always learn something new when I listen. I really like Dr. Mikes humor in this interview.
Chris this was FANTASTIC!!!
When Dr Mike talks science you can tell he is a big brain.
Mike is the GOAT
Great podcast with Dr. Mike Israetel (PhD). I follow him, Dr. Eric Helms (PhD), Dr. Layne Norton (PhD), Meno Henslemen and Jeff Nippard as well. When it comes to nutritional sciences Dr. Norton is second to none. When it comes to exercise physiology and volume recommendations Dr. Mike Israetel is also second to none.
With that being said I like Dr. Eric Helms the best. All the above docs know their stuff indeed. But not all of them are natty, and once you cross over to using "PEDs" things just become easier for you than going full natty. I am an intermediate weightlifter, but I also don't compete. I do it so that as I age, I can maintain as much strength as working out, nutrition, and creatine will take me (currently I am 45).
Finally, I just want to add that there was one thing that Dr. Israetel said that I disagree with. As of March 5, 2024, the website "Medical News Today" wrote an article about how researchers looked at data from the U.K. Biobank, which found that frequent consumption of sweetened drinks whether they were naturally sweet or artificially sweetened like DIET SODA carries a heightened risk of afib with ARTIFICIALLY SWEETNED DIET SODA CARRYING THE GREATEST RISK. Furthermore, the findings (Abstract) were published in a journal of the AHA called "Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology".
DISCLAIMER: I used to drink 1 diet soda a day, because it was a good change up from water (or so I thought) but now I have switched to regular soda and drink it about 3x per week (average), which totals to about 36oz a week.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid water drinker, but I do like a change up every so often, (like with my dinner meal). As a person that respects evidence-based research I believe that ALL THE EVIDENCE should be considered in order for a person to make an informed decision. I still like Dr. Israetel and I assume that he was not aware of this rather recent publication.
Really interesting. I will try to switch to sparkling water more often than my go to diet root beer or diet decaf coke.
Ok I'm doing it. I used your link and ordered my first pack of AG1. I commit to take it daily and will try to come back here in 1 month and 3 month to give my review

You are so cool I love listening to you Dr Mike, I work out daily and try to put your advice to work ❤
Dr Mike is amazing, the perfect combination of sarcasm, humor and knowledge!!
Love the way he gets his point across
Its amazing that people will actually argue that calories don't effect fat
Not really. It's 100% expected in the current victim culture we live in.
I would never argue that. I do think it’s misleading when people say calories are all that matter though even though it’s true. I believe most people will maintain a healthy weight if they just eat healthy minimally processed foods and minimal sugar. You can also lose weight by counting calories and eating less of what ever you want like that professor who lost weight eating Twinkie’s. When people say that calories are all that matter I think it misleads people into believing that for weight loss the content of their diet doesn’t matter just the amount. That is 100% true in theory but in practice the people struggling to eat in a deficit are the people eating junk and the people succeeding in eating in a deficit are usually eating healthy. Even in this video he talks about using your willpower for other things. I think eating healthy foods and not counting every calorie you eat is the low willpower way of losing weight and people who say CICO is all that matters are leading people away from that conclusion.
@@needaudio1ok not reading all that but just the beginning - misleading? Anything that makes you eat less calories works well, but the fact that it all comes down to JUST LESS CALORIES has to be understood, otherwise we'll never be rid of all the bullshit floating around and people saying "it's not as simple as calories in calories out blah blah blah" yes it is exactly as simple as that (simple, but not easy to do at all)
@@needaudio1different foods have different levels of caloric availability so it definitely is not just the number of calories in the food that matters. The insulin response to the food also matters.
@@metalmarten3478 yes but it is easy if you just eat Whole Foods for most people. Which is why I think saying it doesn’t matter what you eat it’s just about calories is stupid. If it doesn’t matter what you eat just the amount a lot of people are going to struggle. If it doesn’t matter how much u eat so long as it’s Whole Foods that makes losing weight very easy for most people
4 hour worth of sarcasm in a 2 hour video. I'm all for it.
Insulin resistance should mentioned here too, together with in/out calories. Many people have prediabetic condition or worth, so their homeostasis is already out of balance.
Does that mean no dessert 🍰 during and after weight loss dieting ?
I love the way he simplifies things.
How attractive you are, to yourself…
(Fuck everybody else!)
Matters.

Right on because nobody would think this guy is attractive!

@ChrisWillx couldn't be more proud of you and happy for the way your hard work, stoicism and integrity paid off with awesome pod accelerating never to slow down. You deserve all the Best, broh! Just sayen tho, I miss the days of listening/ looking at you standing in plain white Tee kinda addressing "us". Nostalgic now to remember the early days. Peace and ❤
I brush my teeth immediately after supper. Then I won't snack. It really works!
I haven’t been dieting for long, and I’m not obese at all, but I’ve grown concerned about my health and weight as I get older. I’ve noticed that most of my success so far is because of discipline and self control. I know ice cream makes me lose my mind, so I avoid it. I consciously decide not to eat it because I know I’m going to want more. Discipline, commitment, & consistency.
Great conversation!
38:17 Chris, bro, this is an important topic (starting at 30:16). I think Mike made a compelling case equating ozempic to any other human-created tool. I suspect you have some thoughts on the topic and I'm curious why you didn't discuss it in further depth.
This man is awesome. He really knows his stuff!
interesting about seed oils being safe and the obvious eating tons of french fries not being so and the possible reason why seed oils get a bad rep.
Dr jason Fung has left the room
This is a legendary video, its only confirmed what ive been doing is correct, and added some much needed tips for maintaining this lifestyle, thank you, i will comeback to this video often
Two people exist: Those that know weight loss is about total calories in and total calories out and fat people.
That's not the science anymore, my dude.

@adamdevos5101 doesn't define "matter" and gives a very careful and rehearsed answer. When does he address hormones and blood sugar? Dr Mike isn't about to risk his audience so he sticks to uncontroversial advice. Nothing wrong with his advice for most people. It's best to KISS for the masses.
@LearningHowToLiveYT the Human body is not a test tube. The argument from thermodynamics is flawed. It's how your body decides what to store as fat is what's important.
