    I'm a heavy guy, and recently started hiking in a fasted state (been doing Keto + frequent short hikes with great success long term). I'm amazed by how much more energy I have when hiking fasted than if I've eaten. Down 55 lbs so far, and enjoying longer, bigger hikes. Hiking with elevation gain is my favorite exercise-- nature's stair-master. Limited appetite, level mood, better sleep, and solid focus during work. Being in nature heals the soul, and I love every minute out there. Looking forward to getting the weight off so I can start doing the really big elevation hikes around here.

    You guys being shirtless for half the video drives home the point nicely 😏That said: My dog makes sure I get those daily steps before work. Very helpful! But that alone didn't result in fat loss for me at all. Then I started doing 16:8 interval fasting a year ago, which essentially results in two meals a day for me. I love it and plan to continue for life! I have so much more energy, and in the first two months, 5 kgs just melted, even though I didn't change anything else - I was already eating quite clean before that. My body composition hadn't budged since (not that I was trying to make that happen!), until I started doing your Mountain proof knees program. I'm nearly halfway, and not only are my knees doing stellar, I've also lost a bunch of fat. Haven't looked this fit in a long long time, or maybe ever! 💪

    I got shredded by dieting and hiking. But at the start of this year I wanted to push myself so I started eating about 300kcal every 2 hours. It made me so much faster. I generally go for a long day hike (12 hours) each weekend.

    I’ve been walking every single day 8k to 15k steps per day (with light hiking a few days a week) and treadmill when it’s really bad New England weather … and I’ve radically changed my diet (diagnosed with celiac) so I am grain free, flour free, added grass fed beef and wild fish, pasture fed dairy, eat veg and moderate potatoes and 10 calories Japanese yam noodles that are celiac safe and have zero carbs) and using stevia or monkfruit instead of sugar with lemons, limes, water, coffee, tea, mct oil / coconut, keto cup no sugar no fillers chocolate or make my own, seasoning and spices, very rare tofu or fermented soy, moderate nuts, and good fats. I also don’t need to eat huge portions anymore and I credit walking every single day of my life for 2 months straight and the inflammation leaving my body I suffered from with a rare form of really bad celiac. And no, I don’t eat the highly processed gluten free grains and pseudo grains. So anyway I’ve lost 35 pounds in 2 months and I have about 75 to go I think. Grief and having constant ibs and inflammation from untreated celiac kept me in pain, creaky, knee locked, my gut distended. I can’t kick ass like a skinny or muscular person but I’m building muscle and losing inches and “regular” now and getting pretty shockingly flexible. My goal is to start chubby hiking small mountains this summer but the diet and other things balance it out for me. I am not drinking alcohol. I don’t take drugs or smoke. And it will be at least 6 months before I’m in celiac remission but my life and my body feel mine and feel good for the first time ever at 47! This is a lifestyle change and hiking will be about nature with some steps and climbing thrown in. I swore I’d be able to return to hiking like my teens and twenties and early 30s and I’m finally seeing hope turn into real change!

    I would love to get out during the week but the summer heat after work is brutal. I will start packing healthier snacks, i usually just make PB&J which is better than i use to bring. I used to have issues with weight management but since I started hiking a few years ago my weight stays in check. Wanting to be outdoors more keeps me from eating a lot of the garbage that kept me heavier, discovering the outdoors has been my saving grace. Thanks for posting your channel has been very helpful.

This was my first year of starting at 4am to be the heat, it worked out very well for me. I will definitely use this again next year to beat the heat, but I would also benefit from eating better on the trail and off which is my new goal.

    Hi! I like your channel and your goals of helping people be healthy and enjoy nature, but I was wondering if you've done any investigation into the anti-diet/health at every size world. I am curious what you would think. Basically books like Health at Every Size by Linda Bacon say that weight is really complicated and very genetic. So most people can't control their weight. And also that fat isn't bad for you. It's very different from what most people in western cultures think right now but there's a lot of research to back it up.

    Sorry but you said at the start, elimination diets don‘t work. And then, you said to eliminate processed foods, snacks, etc. A bit contradictory.
    I can confirm, being a „borderline“ diabetic, cutting out carbs (bread, cereal, pasta, rice and potatoes) saved my life. And it‘s sustainable. What do I eat? Everything else allowed on a Ketogenic Diet. Holding strong over 6yrs now. Sugar and seed oils are also very toxic/ inflammatory, no matter how old you are. For people with young kids, please consider removing all of the crappy processed foods from your family‘s meals. They will thank you for it 🤓

    I always hear that protein is satiating but when I eat lean animal protein I feel starving after and its almost impossible to make it go away. Now if I eat fatty meat like ribeye or flanken ribs I feel happy, full, and zen in my whole body. Only carbs give me that "Full" feeling in my stomach, but it's not satisfying or comfortable.

    • @rudolphteperberry3888
      @rudolphteperberry3888 2 года назад

      @@ChaseMountains Yes I definitely agree but I don't think that makes it radically dangerous. I've been amazed just how far the body can go with an obvious calorie deficit. Probably not sustainable for more than a few weeks though but you should notice the increase weakness and fatigue long before it has chance to become dangerous imo (unless you've put yourself in a situation where you literally cannot access food!). Also good point about burning muscle. I used to try and put on some extra fat before high altitude expeditions (because I knew I'd be losing weight) but since reading that the body can actually burn muscle for energy ahead of fat when at high altitude I now try to put on a bit of extra muscle before an expedition.
      Love the content btw. I'm just being nitpicky 😅

      I think the point that Chase was trying to make here is that, it's not a long term stategy for fat loss. You might lose some fat after a long thru hike, but you'll likely put it back on.

    Totally agree with Matt (and to be fair it's almost the default position of anyone who speaks about losing weight these days) with the idea that it's about making long term sustainable changes. And the two meals a day thing, which I've been doing for a few years. BUT...he then seems to lump in the cutting out of carbs into the BAD food deprivation category that prevents long term weight loss. Speaking from experience "depriving" myself of carbs that need to be processed (i.e. wheat, rice, and some root vegetables) is the only thing that has enabled me, a 57 year old man, to keep a healthy and consistent weight loss. The key is that I'm eating no processed foods, and LOTS of healthy foods, on their own and in great combinations that I love. And mostly, as much as I feel like eating, coz I'm generally craving the good stuff which is more filling anyway. There's plenty of science to back this up, although it's not science that attracts any money.
    There is always some self deprivation involved in losing weight. Chase, you were suggesting the very same thing at the beginning of the video...cut out those processed carbs and other processed stuff (and fats too, which actually goes against a lot of some of the science I mentioned, and would also deprive folk of fatty meat (yum!) butter, olive and coconut oil) and eat raw veg and fruit on your hike. I can guarantee that will look like deprivation to many, even though it's pretty good advice to an extent.
    So is that not a bad thing for long term sustainability, as Matt suggests later in the vid?
    As a result I got mixed messages from this vid. Don't want to be a downer though, coz there was still loads of good stuff, as there always is. Thanks! And sorry for the long waffle. I think it's an important subject.

      Hi David, thanks for the feedback.
      I work with people who have had a lifetime of feeling guilty about eating carbohydrates.
      Ultimately, fat loss comes from being in a deficit.
      You can eat carbs, and be in a deficit.
      Cutting out and demonising carbs will only get most people short term success (in my experience).
      Focusing on habits that create a deficit, instead of restriction is the most sustainable way to get long term success.
      You mentioned that you lost weight after reducing carbs, does that mean carbs are bad? No.
      It means that cutting out carbs made it easier for you to eat in a deficit.
      That might not be the case for others.
      This is why there is so much confusion with fitness and fat loss.
      There is no one size fits all.
      Well done for making changes and seeing results, and I hope this makes sense!

      @@max.lowery Thanks for your response too Max. To be fair, I wasn't "demonising carbs", I was putting another side of the coin to what looked like your suggestion that cutting out carbs was NOT a way for long term sustainable weight loss. In other words, as you say, "There is no one size fits all". Good luck with the book, as I'm definitely on board with the 2 meals a day thing, as a realistic aid for people to begin eating more healthily.
