My case for IF has always been that if I'm on a cut. Is that up till the point that I start eating in any day, I simply don't get hungry. I can just stave off cravings entirely by not eating until noon, and that just gives the rest of my diet a lot more flexibility.
Yeah if you're naturally not hungry in the mornings that can be a huge advantage during cuts. I do the same but never considered it to be IF, I'll eat when I'm hungry darn it!
100% agree especially if I’m tryna get very lean .. also for some reason I feel more productive without food .. might just be a personal thing
I find that when I do IF I just binge in the evening xD
@@garymcnall4065 That’s the point of IF tho, you won’t get as hungry. I HAD to eat breakfast, if I skipped it I would get nauseous later and have fainted once, I think from skipping breakfast. Been doing IF for a few years now and can easily not eat for 24 hours if I want.
Some days I will just do OMAD (one meal) and I will eat a whole pizza and still be around maintenance for cals consumed for the day.
Some times I will eat breakfast but skip lunch, while that’s technically not IF, I find skipping a meal or two easier than eating 5 meals at 500 calories for example.
@@paybax Right on! IF is another tool in the dieting toolkit, whatever helps keep you comfortable for your current caloric needs.
I appreciate the videos. No long intro, no gimmicks, just right to the point and great info. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you. We're trying! - Dr. Mike
Yeah this is honestly better than those filled with jokes
@@RenaissancePeriodization Are you sleepy? Why no jokes?
@@RenaissancePeriodization you t-shirt - 0 positiv if you like to know 😅
@@b.28 I am watching Mike because of the jokes!
For doing IF for 2 years, the most notable effect it had on me is resetting my circadian rhythm, i.e. meal timing was regular, so was digestion, and sleep got much, much better. Just for that, it's worth doing. I don't care of the number on the scale tho.
I am a big fan of it.. You are on point about sleep .. I do a 16/8 and that is the only thing I have changed all calories, macros etc are the same and whatever body fat I have goes away when I implement the IF, I think its pretty amazing.
@@amarino5179 I think one of the biggest problems with what you’re talking about… a 16/8 IF… is that is just basically not fasting at all but it’s just got some fancy name to call it something.
Someone with a basic schedule that is good at adherence (no snacking especially late night snacking) really isn’t eating for 12 hours or more (from dinner to breakfast).
So not eating for 4 or less MORE hours than any normal person and calling it something just sounds dumb.
I’m not saying YOU sound dumb or anything but the whole deal is just silly with who ever came up with the whole 16/8 thing… because it really isn’t a thing.
@@amorfati4927 That’s where you are wrong. IF isn’t JUST a tool to fast, it’s a tool that makes controlling food intake easier. Call it Intermittent Eating 😂
@@amorfati4927 if you want to do fasting on a daily basis all year around you should do it either 16/8 or At MOST 18/6. If you do OMAD all year it'll cause more health problems than it's benefits
@@amarino5179 I think the 16/8 is still ok for people trying to gain muscle/lose fat. Glad to hear it’s working for you; I just started that ratio, today.
IF always made sense to me because you have lower meal frequency and less to track. But then when you do eat, you have larger size meals, which means more satiety. Eating small meals all day makes it too easy to binge.
I’ve found that out as well, me eating smaller meals makes me want to eat something 45mins later instead of hours apart haha
😅lllk😊😊llo😊l😊ik
From my experience IF isn't really done for longevity reasons. In practise, it's done as a way of controlling caloric intake for the day by having a smaller eating window. However, there are additional benefits that come from this pattern of eating which include a boost in mental clarity (less brain fog), it helps reset insulin sensitivity (something that's absolutely overlooked by the fitness industry) and if you go for very long periods, say 20 plus hours, it also reduces inflammation in the body and increases the rate of autophagy (getting rid of dead cells and replacing them with new ones - this makes you look younger for longer).
agree with this man
The mental clarity part is due to the cortisol and other stress hormones released by your body that feels its starving.
I'm not sure if that's a healthy way of improving mental clarity
Reseting "insulin sensitivity", I'm not sure that's how it works. I'm pretty sure that's bullshit.
As long as you don't eat a lot of sugar your insulin will work as it's intended. You won't cure or prevent diabetes by fasting any more than by reducing sugar intake
the autophagy part... how the hell do you even test that in a scientific manner?
A lot of claims around fasting but how many of them are actually proved?
I'd agree but that autophagy claim is pure broscience
Unless science incontrovertibly demonstrates that IF is detrimental to health, I will keep doing it because I have much more energy/mental clarity when I eat less frequently. It also allows me to eat more of the foods I love when it’s mealtime and I don’t get hungry during my fast, so it’s a real win in my book. Been doing it for about 10 years now.
Fantastic. Glad you found something that works for you.
How do you typically time your workouts around your fasting?
@@blackrhino44 I usually work out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and don’t eat until several hours later. It’s not ideal for gains or performance, but it’s what works best in my schedule. If I wanted to build as much muscle as possible, I wouldn’t fast, and if I wanted to get better results while continuing to fast, I would try to wedge my workout between meals. Optimal gains aren’t a priority for me right now and probably never will be again.
Okay, stay small? Good for you lol
Falls into the category of “If it works for you, keep doing it” however, it does not mean it works for everybody
I am 47, 5'4 tall, and weight about 140-145 lbs. I started intermittent fasting about a month ago, or so to say.. trying to get into it. It is super challenging, and so far I can fast until I get home from work, and then I end up eating on my fasting day :) I exercise 5 hours per week, and it keeps my sanity. Thank you for the info! there are so many theories with pseudo science around, thank you for the honesty!
have you lost any weight with intermittent fasting?
IF helps me keep my weight down
so many theories.. who knows which one is correct..
If you wanna do it on a day to day basis it's best you don't go farther than 16 hours or at most 18 hours of fasting. (If it doesn't mess with your sleep ) try having your last meal of the earlier in the night. Let's say you have dinner at 8p.m then you sleep at 11p.m and wake up at 6A.M . You just passed 10hours out of that 16 hours with little to no effort
@@arian_s_collection Hmm.. I fasted until about 7pm tonight, and then had chicken, veggie soup and home made brownies. I could have forgone the sugar, I know :) I will try again in a few days, and will keep trying until my mind is trained to go a full day. When I think of IF, I normally think of a full day without food, or under 400 cal..
One fact that made researchers further study Intermittent Fasting is the fact that frequent meals do accelerate aging. Thus, it can be assumed that the opposite must be true. There are many studies about how frequent meals throughout the day accelerates aging at a significant rate.
I have been happy since I started using intermittent fasting. The real benefit for me is it stops me from binging at night and overeating. This definitely helps me maintain a lower calorie intake. It is also starting to seem like I am going to bed and waking up earlier, but too early to tell if this is a fleeting phenomenon or here to stay. Lastly I allow myself a cheat midnight snack if I am hungry near bedtime. I have a set amount of Nuts/seeds with dried cranberries. It helps a lot with cravings.
I found myself resistant to watching this video as I knew you'd cut down some notions I held dear, which is precisely why I needed it. Once again thanks for the insight mike.
I remember being told that intermittent fasting may give your digestive system a chance to focus on repairing itself?, It also help you understand stand/break bad habits (biscuits with your tea, chocolate bar with your newspaper ect). I remember a religious person talking about lent, giving up things for lent helps you understand the control they have over you (alcohol, caffeine etc). I've done intermittent fasting a few times but it's always gone along with a "Diet" and healthy practices, it's always made me feel better but separating fasting from everything else seems difficult...
I didn't really like this video (although I love RP) cause they focused way more on the fact that you eat once or twice per day while fasting is not really about the number of your meals it's about the time period in between them.
Great video! I agree with all of it. I know intermittent fasting doesn't work for me because I can binge, and BINGE like crazy if I am at all starved....
Yep, a lot of folks encounter that sort of thing. It's definitely NOT for everyone. - Dr. Mike
To be honest, all optimization is “hacking.” Eating a lot of meals throughout the day is hacking, too. The important thing about findings that intermittent fasting (or time restricted eating) being either “better” for you or at least not harmful, is that it’s a permission structure for people to try things that other people told them shouldn’t do and see how it affects them personally.
If I listened to all the people who said that low carb and IF was either bad or useless, I wouldn’t have found the only diet that doesn’t feel like a diet to me, and I doubt I’d have lost 120lbs so far.
longevity and bodybuilding are kind of paradoxical in many ways, you're not gonna find any muscle men with a BMI of 20 I'll tell you that.
For reference if you are 5ft 10 (178cm) , you would need to weigh 139lb (63kg) to have a BMI of 20.
I am 5ft 10 now as an adult and I haven't weighed that little since I was 16 years old, and I was probably about 5ft 8 at that point
Adherence gets a looooot easier with IF, for me100% For a lot of people I know as well. Is it a magic one trick pony to longevity? Surely not. I generally use time restricted eating on cuts and when it is convenient when maintaining/gaining.
Okay and unrelated, but would like to see a video for joint recovery/ best practices stuff like that.
As an example i think i messed up my shoulders when i first started doing BP at the gym (didnt know wtf i was doing) and had some calcium deposits there for the last 2-3 years.
Ski injury at the lower back - Im programming my mesos not to overdo my lower back like i used to do and now im fine.
Worst one is i think cubital tunnel syndrome, managed to get away from it for a while, now it's back. Seems to resurface as soon as i try to do heavier stuff on Push days. I really like the normal bench press a lot and the slow/ paused larsen press, full rom. For the last couple of mesos went heavier because i want to improve the strength see where im at, but that really messes my elbows - tried different positions if i go wide, shoulders hurt like hell, right one especially, if i go close grip my arm angle goes a lot below 90 degrees and i think that flexion really fucks up the elbows. Im staying somewhere in between as shoulders seem ok with it and i have enough velocity for the push. Damn elbows if i stay for example in a bicep curl position at the top for long enough, part of the forearm and the pinky and index fingers go numb, even in my sleep if those go numb due to random positions it kinda wakes me from time to time. as soon as i finish this meso (day 1 3x5 heavy touch and go, day 2 2x5 larsen slow paused, day 3, 3x5 larsen slow pause + of course other movements, those are BP realted) and next meso ill try to focus on triples see where that gets me, afterwards i will focus more on the back, maybe do a cut cuz i got fat (and strong) and maybe ill ditch the BP for dips and machines see how those feel on the elbows.
So regarding this last thing do you have any recommendation? Im sure if i go to a physician hell probably say REST or something like that, dont do shit and so on so i prefer to find things on my own. Tried some stretches, massaging the area, but i think the best thing is indeed the rest + light weight which is annoying as hell.
I know this is not a short comment but would appreciate it if a video would miraculously appear for these things, or a short practical recommendation.
Thx again, cheers from Romania :)
Do some RDLs for us over here.
Look up Squat University here in YT
They have plenty of videos that talk about that
Romanian here. Messed up elbows as well. Had the numbness. No longer have it (and can sleep now). What works for me? Lots of warm up - 20-30 rep single arm cross body cable press down, same with something almost approaching a Bayesian curl. I get them very warm and pumped focusing on the eccentric. Work sets - always focusing on the eccentric. For back pulls like rows and deadlifts, I use straps. For bar pull-ups, I pull thumb over bar using Kyle Boggeman’s pull-up standards. For chin-ups, I use rings so the elbow can move freely. I only recently added barbell press back - went exclusively dumbbell for many months. I do finger curls holding a barbell behind my back to strengthen forearms. Dips generally don’t irritate them so I do lots of those. Dumbell pullovers and pec fly can irritate them, so I usually do the lat prayer or pullovers with an ez-curl bar. Always focusing on the eccentric. Still go for explosive concentric on the exercises that don’t aggravate the joint. Otherwise don’t, and stay mindful of what motion and angle irritates it. I’ve noticed myself a lot is in the grip. Good luck.
I think you should have more time for regeneration. I would recommend good physioterapist also to help with the elbows. Maybe that with some 1-2 months of lighter weights should improve it.
We're going to make a vid on this for sure. It's on my to-do list! - Dr. Mike
@@SuperDzban That works, light weight and rest, but goes against the goals and progression. I think bottom line would be to find the exercises that hurt the least or dont hurt and go heavy on those. Elbow stuff is genetic, can't re-route the nerve path in the elbow without surgery, but maybe can find some coping mechanisms.
Really annoying because I would have to stop doing my favorite exercise(s) will see, maybe do a year of push exercises experimentation :) cheers
Tim Ferris' recent episode with Peter Attia solidified the ground for me that fasting is going to be a major tool for maintaining health as I get older
Lmao
18 hour fast gets me shredded. Not because of all the fasting "science" but basic thermodynamics. I burn more calories than I eat, therefore I stay leaner. It's not rocket surgery.
Im trying to find a balance. I like fasting since I feel more clear minded during it, and it lets my body clear out also. I'm building muscle though so it interferes with that. Been considering cutting it back to once, maybe twice, a week.
Ye fasting is a great thing but it seriously depends on the goal. If your goal is putting on musle I suggest you just dive into the 4 to 5 protein meals per day (more than that is not necessary unless you are eating baby meals or you are a 300 pound bodybuilder lol) and then do a week of 18/6 IF in your deload weeks ( once every 6-8 weeks ). That way you won't burn up your gains since it's deload week and your body ain't under much pressure. And you'll enjoy a week worth of fasting
Yes it is, it keeps insulin low for longer
I know that I'm pissing off some intermittend fasting people, but as a person who struggled with severe morning anxiety, stopping with 16-8 intermittend fasting and adding in a small breakfast with a few natural herbs basically lowered my morning stress and anxiety in half.
Hell yeah man what herbs
Yeah it’s hard to feel good and stable when cortisol and adrenaline are cranking. It’s really bad for the metabolism after awhile.
@@Limbaugh_ The most important for me has been ashwagandha. Other beneficial supplements have been vit. b-1, vit. C, magnesium, L-theanine, glycine and just eating some carbs to avoid a blood sugar crash when being active.
@@aspiresk8boarding Yup. And high amounts of stress hormones chronically can't be healthy, which most people in the IF world seems to neglect - or maybe enjoy (the sensation) since they get a big adrenalin rush when they typically drink lots of coffee at the same time.
Omg love this guy !! Funny and super honest!! Made me smile this morning!!
Does BMI 20 go for untrained people or would someone with a lot of muscle be as healthy as someone with a normal amount of muscle at 20bmi? Assuming the body fat is equal that is
Dr. Mike, have you seen the old show Penn and Teller bullshit? You should get Penn on for a cameo sometime. I feel like you and Penn would get along famously.
There are many other benefits to intermittent fasting than longevity, and they are more important.
absolutely, totally missed out on autophagy, which is like the core point of intermittend fasting ...
@@MrSaelaewae autophagy is negligable with IF timeframes (
I am doing IF for 2 years now and I use it not as hacking BS, but a convenience tool cuz:
-Do one meal prep a day cuz Im lazy
-Easy to calculate your calories/macros if you are cooking once a day
-I don't have a problem with eating just one type of dish for the day (easy to introduce variety and control it if I get fatigued with eating the same thing)
-Psychological effect (you cook a freaking cauldron of food and you feast with your eyes, helped me A LOT during cutting)
-Super easy calculating transition between cutting-maintenance-bulking
IF by itself would do nothing for me. The determining factors were CALORIE DEFICIT and 6x week workouts with balanced cardio/PPL while monitoring my macros with supplementing right micros. It allowed me to lose 60 lbs and get really in shape.
You can't out-train a bad diet.
IF works for some and not for others. I've been doing it for years with great results!
With today's food prices I'm down for eating one meal a year even though I don't belive in IF
I have a presentation on this topic! Nice timing!! thanks
thank you for the video DR Mike! do a neck training or give us some tips on whether or not we should train neck and how! thanks again
I like to fast because I’m just not hungry early. Breakfast always felt forced.
the best way to increase your longevity is to swiftly destroy your enemies
3:58 I thought you were gonna say “that’s a whole lotta hoopla”
Question: Does the low longevity have to do with BMI specifically or more to do we the low body fat? Been training natty 20 years and getting to bmi 20 seems impossible with the muscle I hold
I would assume in the aggregate lower bmi is healthier than higher, however if your adding muscle tissue it’s probably great or a wash as muscle is also shown to help longevity. I’m sure there’s an upper limit where it stops being helpful, but it’s probably heavy if maintaining the same bf. Anyway I’m just a random, but I think that’s pretty likely given my sources(I try to be a nerd and be all sciencey and legit and stuff ;P).
Surprised BMI is used here instead of BF%
Maybe I'll look for one of your more recent vids to post this as well, but since it's on topic here: you sound convincing, I don't doubt your credentials nor your real-life expertise, but Andrew Huberman also sounds convincing and brings up all sorts of references to studies on intermittent fasting, so, it's hard to figure out what's really the most useful info. I have taken college courses on biology, chem, microbiology and nutrition and it's still tough for me to really weigh the contradictory advice. Like your breakdowns though, Dr. Mike!
I lost tons of fat from IF. I feel better eating heavier, later in the day. I don't move as well will a belly full of food.
I intermittent fasted today, so I can live longer to watch more Dr. Mike vids
(Blows air kiss as he steps into Lambo-brand private plane.) - Dr. Mike
This channel is gold, thanks bro.
Just thanks.
Less frequent eating means the body has more resting period for healing and less stress on all organs from constantly focusing on digestion. Also fasting increases autophagy.
I been doing it for years. I'm 41, workout do omad and mostly carnivore. I look good and feel good.
Could you do a similar video about zone 2 cardio? What are the pros/cons? Who is it appropriate for? How does it contrast with HIIT in terms of benefits?
"... stop trying to hack shit ..." - I like that.
This is almost a sociological/psychological issue - the vast majority of weight lifters have strong willpower and can bypass the cravings much easier than the general population.
When you're the average person then it matters a lot whether you ate a stranded dessert which later on gave you much stronger craving for sweets, or you eat desserts only after savory meals full of protein.
And if you add fewer chances of screwing up ie eating during a smaller time frame all the better.
Also people who work out have a much greater use for whatever they eat, meanwhile if someone else snacks while awake most probably it's going to their fat stores.
Real talk: people who need IF the most (obese) have high appetites and metabolic syndrome - meaning they get so hungry during fasting they want to die and they get hypoglycaemic so their performance in life suffers markedly. If it "works for you", great, but the idea that is applicable to much of society is a total non starter
Dear Dr. Mike, I have a question: I am looking to join the Full RoM community but I want to make sure it's for me. I am a 40-year old who just started BJJ and I am looking to lose a lot of weight and develop an athletic, useful and healthy body. However, your materials seem to be geared towards Hypertrophy BodyBuilding. If I joined Team FRoM and asked questions and said I don't care about mass and aesthetics, would I be an outsider and not be able to find the information that's relevant to me?
if you want to live long and healthy being lean, and strong is the key factors. it will decrease stress on the body, while increasing your functionality. the stronger and denser your muscles, the longer you will live, and be walking... I think it all comes down to the permanent bending off the spine and neck that comes with overweight and muscle weakness.... once people start to lose that straight spine, all else starts to go down hill
BEEN WAITING FOR DR.MIKE TO TALK ABOUT IF!!! Now I just need him to talk about female periods and how to maintain diet around the monthly.
Hey Dr Mike… what do you think about going low cargfor cancer prevention, seeing how cancer grows and thrives on sugar (glucose/sucrose)?
IF makes cutting basically foolproof, in that practically speaking you will not have enough time to go over your calorie budget. If you're eating in a 6 hour window before bed, and you eat to complete satiety, let it digest, eat again to satiety 3-4 hours later... That's the day gone and it's time for bed. In order to overeat you'd basically have to force yourself to stay awake for a few extra hours until your hunger returned.
I lost about a third of my bodyweight through IF. Though I doubt its because of any slight magical hormonal effects or whatever like people claim, it just simply helped me eat less. I don't get hungry until I start eating, so it was easy to wait until dinner, eat all my calories in one go which filled me up, then it was less effort not to snack because I'd just start getting ready for bed. Also, if I was really craving something, it is so much easier to say 'later' than 'never', and by the time later came around the craving had gone. As I've started to take training more seriously, I have a protein shake and fruit before my workout and spread my protein out a bit more, but I highly recommend it for anyone struggling to lose weight. Though it definitely isn't for everyone, especially if youre a morning person it seems.
It just makes sense that stressing your body with low calorie, fasting, no carbs, one meal a day, ice baths, saunas, wim hof breathing (hyperventilating) will help u live a long pleasant life.
More importantly, where can I get that t-shirt?
Dude, I couldn't imagine what I'd have to do to be a BMI of 20 as a 5'11" male. This chart I'm looking at says I'd have to be 143 pounds....Bro, I'd have to lose so much muscle to get there. I was wearing size 34 waist jeans at 195 pounds, I'd be nothing 143 pounds lmfao
Yeah, BMI is bullshit for people with more muscle than a high schooler.
I'm surprised Dr Mike mentioned, especially since he's probably in the high 30s
Not sure if BMI was the right metric to throw out there.. pretty sure I wouldn't be classified as overweight either at 80 kg / 1.72 m
bro i feel this. im 183lbs around 12%bodyfat and it says i need to be 130lbs to be at a bmi of 20
Satchin Panda enters chat...
Nice to hear about those drugs in development. Something to look forward to.
"Stop trying to hack shit" is something I'm gonna be repeating to people a lot
IF is the shit. I eat the same crap I use to eat but I eat it in 8 hrs and I feel so much better and have been losing weight slowly. Started working out about 2 1/2 months ago and so far peeled off 15 lbs slowly with minimal loose skin. Only bad things is sometimes your not that hungry and still
Need a few calories or grams of protein but overall great for me for health and building and retaining muscle
Intermittent fasting is not about the number of meals. It's about the time period between your last meal of the day and the first meal of next day. Which starts at 16 hours(8hou of eating period)
Just a form of calorie restriction
@@Tumorcoach it CAN be a form of calories restriction. But it's main benefits are not calorie restriction and living longer. It really depends on your goals. Fasting helps improve mind clearity. It can speed up the healing process of some internal problems such as fatty liver and gut health ( if you break your fast correctly - if you break your fast incorrectly it'll end up making it worse lol) , it'll improve blood cholesterol and extra. So if you want to do it to get fit. DONT. you will lose more muscle than fat if you do fasting as a tool to get fit. If you have some health issues or brain fugs definitely give it a try
@@arian_s_collection complete bullshit and utter nonsense. All the benefits you listed such lower cholesterol, triglycerides and other markers only improve in-studies when participants were in a calorie deficit. Simply fasting does increase any health markers unless your in deficit. You know what is a good for gut health and fatty liver. Not eating too much and having a super BMI. Fasting without staying in a deficit does nothing
Been eating only once every 72 hours. Great for staying shredded all year for decades.
How many years have you done that?
Also the first video on your channel says “I hate myself” so maybe change
My understanding, based on information provided by Dr. Sinclair, is that the intermittent fasting regiments, which has been popularized, are typically inaccurate. Fasting for 16 hours per day is optimal and it doesn't matter how many meals one consumes during the 8 hour eating window as long as one doesn't over eat. My understanding is that the motivation to intermittently fast is due to the biological reaction to this caloric restriction stress which "turns on" our "hormetic" response, where in, hormesis has the benefit of increasing the activity of or improving the natural repair processes of our dna. Having "healthier" (whatever that may specifically mean) dna, lowers our "genetic age". I encourage any interested layman to read his book on the subject of anti aging, the field in which Sinclair is actively conducting research, Lifespan: Why we age and why we don't have to. If I have misrepresented the relevant facts, in any way, it is not intentional.
I found his podcast very educational.
He can't be trusted, promoting resveratrol when there's clearly lacking science to back it up. He's a business man first and foremost
IF will not get you shredded, for sure, or even lose weight. But if you're just a regular healthy person, not a competitive bodybuilder, there are so many health benefits to fasting from 14hrs (regularly) to even 48 hours (once in a while).
1. Would be interesting to see if the lower range of BMI benefit for longevity have the adiposity factor accounted to it
2. It would also be interesting to see the correlation between adiposity and longevity regardless of BMI
What I’m really curious about in a nutshell is, if you are slightly on the higher end of BMI and relatively muscular, and you have normal/healthy level of fat percentage, does the higher BMI alone does poorly for your longevity? Or poorer than the skinny low BMI low Muscle mass dude all things considered equal?
Oh by the way, my insulin resistance, and abdominal adiposity have only starts to improve significantly when I started to lift weight regularly, much better that when I only do cycling, and restrict calories/low carb/intermittent fasting etc…I even eat 4 times a day, never go hungry, and have my weight stabilized since I lift regularly
Cheers
@@mann8098 Can naturally-built muscle be too much though?
@@mann8098 centeneries are just not a good population for measurement, in most cases they survive that long due to genetics than by other circumstances if I remember correctly, though I do have the felling that the extra stress in the cardiovascular and digestive systems probably wouldn't do wonders for you in the really long term, though I am not so sure how the nett balance of increase in quality of life via better self-image would compare to longevity, sure you probably are decreasing some years of life expectancy but the amount of stress gained by self-loathing might've just taken as much, that's certainly my case at least.
@@mann8098 professional bodybuilders are not a good proxy for health, because they have to “compete”..when they compete, they are plummeting their fat percentage, and subsequently their hormones..but the weight training alone, combined with balance diet and at recommended adiposity shouldn’t be a problem
Aww man I thought longevity meant how long I could last during.. sets. Guess I'll wait for that longevity video another time huh dr mike
I KNEW it! Love you Dr. Mike! (In a totally gay way)
In all seriousness your channel is a gem and you should have a million followers!!
I might give IF a try because it's either 500 calorie meals or 1500 calorie meal. I can't live without a big ass 1500 calorie meal every day.
HI Dr.Mike, can you do a video about how to take care of our joints? do collagen peptides really work?
You've done other videos on healthy bodyweight / health bodyfat percentage over the years, and you've talked about this topic in Q&A videos, and you usually don't conclude that being on the lower end of normal is a big longevity booster. The old conclusion was more like "the health benefit either plateaus or stops completely at the high end of normal/still visibly chunky". So does this video update and override those videos?
Any info on long-term fasting (4-7 days) starving cancer and the effects on that extreme diet and skeletal muscle loss?
I don't understand how it's true, can anyone please explain it to me. Most of the population is eating too much of refined carbs and sugar, and they are insulin resistance, so how come Intermittent Fasting and low-carb diet won't work for longevity
I have always had issues losing weight, I'm 42. I have never been able to just eat small meals multiple times a day and get ant good results.Only thing that works is the 16-20 hr fast. As long as I get 150-200 grams of protein I have never had any negative results with it only positive
Great video, thank you.
allowing your body to have 16-18 hours to digest what you eat will add years of health to your life and its truly odd that people are oblivious to this fact, it is natural to have long windows of not eating it is unnatural to always have your intestines full 24/7 - the name intermittent fasting for a 16 hour non-eating window is silly as the food you consumed is simply being digested - think health span
Alright, I'll bite, where do I get the hyper 80s Stallone shirt?
So what you're saying in the last minute or 2 is that I'm gonna die tomorrow. Well shit. 😂
I am still waiting for Dr.Mike's Arnold impersonation with Bullsxxx...
Even thou I agree with you points, this summary is not complete. No metion of Autophagy benefits and its ihibition of Advanced Glycation End Products. And less frequent meal means less insuline spikes.
Anyone know the best place to order this supplement: loving friends and family?
Giving me Penn and Teller vibes I love it
My take away from IF was I don’t eat after 8pm. Kept that part and ditched the rest
To quote PictureFit: It depends!
it's just eating like how people used to eat when I was a kid. breakfast lunch and dinner and a couple of snack from 8am to 6pm. they call it intermittent fasting but its more like the 80's lifstyle.
I really like "if" during a cut. Wouldn't have a problem doing it all the time if I wasn't playing sports!
Open question. Would the lower ranking on the BMI scale being associated with longevity be primarily due to a lack of fatty tissue? Or simply less mass? I myself am an overweight, lean meathead, and I'm sure a lot of people watching this video are in the same boat.
Thanks Dr Mike
Did IF for a while and fasted up to 3 days with only coffee & tea.
Social aspect sucks agree, not necessarily good for building mass, but for some people it might help with brain fog in my opinion.
Also for me it also worked for loosing weight restricting myself to not eat post 5-6 PM, went from 92 KG to 72 Kg in about 2-3 months something like that but was very sedentary, no activity whatsoever.
Afterwards i tried to use it again just to restrict some Kcal intake and works fine if I don't over-diet.
For the last 2-3 years said fuck it, started going to the gym 6 days a week and if i eat like that i don't have enough energy/ timings suck etc.
I would really like to push myself for another 3-4 day fast because i like the challenge, but my priority now is the gym (objective identifier would be fucked up elbows, wrists, shoulders and lower back haha, looking forward for my next deload week)
Derailed a bit, but yeah, keep posting, i look into your channel religiously (almost).
Also a content improvement suggestion. if I may: more racist jokes, dick jokes, and racist dick related jokes.
I hope you mean racial or race related maybe even race-ish jokes 🤣 Dr Mike doesn’t cross the racist line
@@2jmajjic here for the lolz, don't really care what line he crosses as long as he's funny. I'm eastern european, he can mock me and the gypsies here, i don't care :D
IF increases "mental clarity" because your body produces adrenaline and cortisol and other stress hormones because it feels it's about to starve. So yeah, while it helps in the short term, eventually you'll burn out from being in constant stress
I disagree. The genetic stress response is the hack . GH, NAD , Testosterone goes way up. But it does not work if used everyday. 3-4 day bursts are best
People usually just shove stuff into their mouth cause they have nothing to do. I always fasted without even knowing what it is and I felt great.
Would you be able to comment on metformin as it relates to longevity.
I'm guessing if there is any effect it's because of the increased insulin sensitivity.
so sustainability is better for longevity as far as body mass concern is involved? as in i would be better off in longevity being a healthy skinny guy vs being a healthy slighty bigger guy because of say, gravity and pressure on your body and organs etc over time?
It's just easier and convenient to do IF for most ppl whom are not compete in any sport.
hey dr mike, can you make a video on longer fasting like 5 to 7 days or even multiple weeks?
vigorous steve for example has a few videos on how it helped reverse his fatty liver disease, is a big advocate for it and still does it like every 3 months if i’m correct.
Maybe using a sick person as a role model for what is beneficial to the general population isn't the best practice. We don't all have fatty livers, and his fatty liver could have been alleviated in a number of different ways.
What weight would You be at 20 BMI Dr Mike? I was in High School when last I was a BM of 20.
What if you don’t have the resources to eat regularly during the day? Is that applicable in this scenario? 😐
Your healthy weight chart lied to me. I thought it was ok to be 6’2 230 if I do bodybuilding. 20 bmi is ******* 156 lbs dude, you can’t be this misleading
That’s over 70 lbs!!!
Now I don’t know how to factor in hypertrophy training for a goal weight. At least I get to be stage lean plus hydration year round…
4% at 20 bmi and 20% at 20 bmi is so different that there’s probably a difference, and I’m too stupid to know which one is better.
I guess longevity and healthy isn’t synonymous and I should know better looking at a healthfulness chart, it’s not a longevity chart.
BMI is dogshit indicator of health.
Man I never even considered fasting as a thing to "promote" longevity, it was always either for competition weight cuts, reset myself from overeating (I'd fast for 24 hours or more) or just to be a maso twat that wanted to make my day a tad bit harder lmao
Regardless, quality information on this topic as always
I fast for 8-10 a night. It's silly to do it during the day
I think some people who are over fat find one meal a day or intermittent fasting to be a diet they can adhere to, and that is it’s major benefit for them. In that case, it does aid in longevity.
It does! But not because of the lack of meals only because of the diet adherence and calorie restriction
I was wondering for a while if IF really works, as I’ve met a decent amount of people that tried and promoted it.
Thanks for the clarification, Dr. Mike! Always appreciate the quality content!
Yeah, ppl that swear it works simply reduced their calorie intake without realizing
It really depends on what your goals are . Fasting does improve a lot of functions in the body. It helps clear your mind if that's something you want. It can help yo heal up internal problems like fatty livers or gut problems (if done right - if you break your fast incorrectly it will f up your gut instead of healing it lol) it can help with blood cholesterol. But if you look for adding years to your life then ye it doesn't do much for that
Still open for a chat. What about the different time frames/stages that you body goes through in a fast... What it does for your gut and in return does for your brain. Gums,Gut,Brain Health.. Not sure how deep you've gone into the Biology side of things. Maybe your strictly talking Longevity but your Current Health, body and brain function while Aging should be of upmost importance. Im not Scientist but i love learning.
