Not enough people are giving props to the interviewer for asking such great questions that allow Mike to get into the info most people don’t know or think about. Asking the right questions is just as important as giving the right answers.
@Theechad21 - RFK Jr literally gave himself mercury poisoning by eating too much tuna fish. What kind of health expert doesn’t know about the mercury issue in tuna?
I took a month of after training at least 3-4 days a week for the last 6 years. The most rest I had during that time was a week. When I went back two weeks ago, I adopted this training style completely. Weights (numbers) are down but I am SORE AF and I feel every muscle I am working. I can see changes quicker than I ever did. Eating meat, fish, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. Sunday is cheat. Results are so good, I'll never go back
Heres a tip I never hear anyone talk about. Tasting junk food doesn't add calories. Swallowing it does. People wolf down a candy bar (for example) and barely taste it. Cut the thing into quarters or eighths. Put one piece in your mouth. Taste the hell out of it. Savor it. Enjoy it for a few minutes. And then save the rest for 3 other days. You just massively cut the calories iof your junk food consumption while increasing your enjoyment.
@@CaptainCologne....some of us are desperate for weight gain. Try being stuck at 180lbs. NO MATTER WHAT. Doesn't matter what I eat, how much I exercise, how heavy I lift. I just get "chiseled" and go down to 170. I speak for myself. But steroids is literally the only way I can gain weight.
A side benefit of this is sometimes, when you're really paying attention to the flavor of a snack food, you realize you don't even really like it anymore. Doritos grossed me out as a kid, but I guess I got used to and even craved them, and now they're yecchhh again!

@@AlexMinor fair enough., was curious.

All the best.
@@25johnlowe yeah. I follow a carnivore diet 90-95% of the time. Occasionally I’ll have some vegetables or maybe a dessert if I’m eating out with my girl.
Omg the part where he says if you fall off or have one mistake you give up resonated with me. I use to do that. Then allowed myself to make mistakes and not be perfect. Then I lost the weight.
I agree, same with me. Gotta gain some and lose some and live, but not give up to reach your goals after falling off. And after losing, maintain for a while and get back on track to lose again 🙂
Great Information. Im going to watch the full interview next. Common sense approach to living our lives without all the guilt and drama! Thank you for this guest. 👍🏽👍🏽
@@Jamilia876 so if given the choice, sleep 6 hrs but get a good workout in before you sleep, or get a good nights sleep and no exercise.. you would choose sleep?
@@HH-gv8mx Having a zero sum mindset will push you to fail. Good sleep is the highest tier, bad sleep has been traced to a ton of mental health and poor thinking.
@@bishop51807 I already know the importance of sleep but exercise is also important…. So if you have the choice to get 8hr sleep or sacrifice sleep to get a workout in then I should choose sleep over workout?
@HH-gv8mx Getting proper and adequate sleep first is most important than what you eat....I lost 45 pounds by sleeping properly and eating whole foods....I did not exercise
Finally what I have always believed and tried to live by has been plainly said. No marketing, no B.S, just truth. I wish more people knew these simple facts.
I know exactly what he talks about. I would be perfect for 3 weeks but then break down and have an entire pizza. I would feel like a loser for eating poorly but I eventually realized eating the pizza was essentially therapeutic. I felt better, my body got energy, and it launched me into bigger gains
What you could do is make a healthy pizza yourself, its possible, you can also eat a Pizza which where I live is about 1400cal, I need about 2200 (I am not a bodybuilder), so I would still have room for ablut 800cal of healthy nutritionous food
An entire Pizza is my "cheat day", first of the month, every month. Still down 95 lbs from where I started a year and a half ago. If you eat "bad" two, three days out of the month, it's not gonna damage your diet or even ruin it. Probably would've been about 10 lbs lighter if I had skipped the pizza and ice cream. But I'll take the pizza and ice cream I've had throughout my diet over 10lbs less any day. Because I'm still gonna end up at my goal regardless in the long run.
If y'all have not subscribed to diary of a CEO... It is an absolute must!...Every interview is simply outstanding and informative... beyond what you're expecting
Comforting to know I'm pretty much dieting correctly according to this guy. Don't flog yourself over breaking your diet, just get back to it tomorrow, you're not a sinner. Miss the gym a couple of days this week? Go extra next week, but try not to do that often. The best thing is if you develop a real taste for fresh healthy foods, I actually prefer a great salad to greasy burgers and fries, it certainly makes it easier. Thanks for all the info, this guy is very rational about diets, habits, and the mind games we play on ourselves with something as difficult as dieting.
I've never heard anyone call breaking your diet sinning until this video. He's right about that mentality because it's always felt that way. This has made me feel so relieved and happy.
Don't "go extra" because you listened to your body and went easier for a week or two. The progress actually happens on rest days. You could take a week or two off every few months and see tremendously accelerated results. I do it with my athlete and non athlete clients all the time, have for over 30 years.
This is the first time I’ve heard this doctor speak. He’s good. The ideas he present are sound and congruent with nutrition facts I’ve learned. The way he presents is fantastic. He’s respectful, centred, mindful, calm, and receptive to this interviewer. I’ll be searching for more videos about him.
I've been losing weight by cutting out carbs. I've been very strict about sticking to this plan and not drinking alcohol. Yesterday, I was at a picnic and doing a great job of not eating until someone put out a plate of cheeseburgers. I was starving so I grabbed one and poured myself a glass of red wine. OMG! They tasted so delicious! I enjoyed the burger and a couple of tortilla chips to go with it, had another glass of wine and called it a day. I told myself that this one meal wouldn't stop my weight loss and helped because I had been feeling a little weak and dizzy that morning. I woke up this morning back on track but feeling amazing. Dr. Mike is the only RUclips fitness guy I've seen who actually talks about stuff like this. Having an all-or-nothing mentality about food is probably what keeps me losing and gaining back the same 100 pounds all my life. This was a great video, and it was exactly what I need to hear this morning. I've been so stressed out because over the next three months I have three amazing trips planned, and I've been trying to plan how I was going to eat so I could maintain losing weight. Now I realize I need to just be reasonable and keep my plan as best I can but not obsess.
Yeah, dropping any macro does that, lol. The problem is what happens when each macro is dumped long term. You're in for a rude awakening if you continue to be carb phobic.
I’ve done rp since 2015 and carbs were always high and a steady pull of fats throughout the cut. My carbs were around 300 grams and the lowest cut I ever did I still had carbs over 100 grams per day.
This is exactly what my doctor recommended. I have a holistic doctor and he is awesome. I lost 10 pounds (i know i am lucky, that’s all i needed to loose) and my labs are now perfect. I eat what I want on weekends and back eating right the rest of the week. This worked for me 🎉🎉.
That is probably the best dietary and exercise information I have heard. So succinct and easy to understand. This message needs to be shared with all of us that struggle with our body mass!!!!!
I am 71, 5'4" and back to the weight - 8 1/2 stone - I was 50 years ago. I hate gyms but lead an active life. The last stone fell off me when I drastically reduced my sugar intake. I buy and cook fresh food from the market; do my own housework; rarely sit down. I eat what I want except I no longer eat cake every day
I'm also active (thinker & PC addict) & generally healthy (al the muscles in the brain), but I don't have stones (only 175cm & 66.5 KG ~perfect middle ;)
We need to stop calling eating healthy foods a "diet". It's a normal lifestyle. Normalize eating foods you're supposed to eat. Eating foods that provide little to no nutritional value should be called a "junk food diet" or "stupid diet".
We could call it masturbation diet. You are eating it just for pleasure, you getting desensitized by it and loosing control and very fast its getting unhealthy.
I’m in ketosis. At last. After some hard work and lots of learning how to do it, I’m happy. I know that if I fall back into the patterns of eating foods I really enjoy, which are not sugar free or low carb, I will, inevitably, become that tired, sore, depressed human being again who has no energy for life. I don’t consider this way of living a “diet” and it’s possibly forever for me. At no point in my future do I see me happily eating through my third plate of Chinese food at the buffet. But it’s worth it to feel and look good after decades of hating myself.
One saying that I picked up on many years ago was "You can't outrun your fork." So I definitely agree that the balance of diet and exercise is 80/20. Good clip.
A lot of good info here. But the calorie burn from cardio is a little over/understated. He says 600 extra calories burned a week is a drop in the bucket, but it's a 9 pound difference over a year (600 x 52 / 3500 = 8.9 lbs). That's not insignificant and it only requires running 1 mile per weekday which takes less than 10 minutes and feels great. Not a bad deal! This isn't to take away from his central message which is keeping your diet in check is the lower hanging fruit. Totally agree with that.
I love it you eat two donuts you got six miles to run that day it shows how you can't out exercise a bad diet. you burn more calories just by being alive than by exercising. I would say its 90 percent diet and only 10 percent exercise.
finally, some deep philosophy around health - i hope he has challengers, but he's kinda killing here speaking to the general subjective. cheers and gratitude.
Dr Mike Isreatel has changed my life. I’m moving to Africa to dig wells to bring clean water to orphans and midgets. I’m my spare time I’m teaching English and Frisbee to Zulu warriors. Thank you for showing me my true path Dr Mike! You’re the greatest
I've also had the "I'm a sinner" mentality. I always try to do better the day after I "mess up," but I also build in an occasional meal where I eat something a little elss healthy every couple of weeks. Never a massive binge, though.
This dudes amazing i was 6ft 400lbs on the verge of being a diabetic a year later i was at 288 and i too had fallen off the band wagon and got back up to 350 found this guy a month ago and his advice through his videos has gottin me back at it back workin out back eating right down to 329 .. ive found if i eat a sensible portions of say oatmeal with some peanut butter powder and some cinnamon or a half cup of grits n cheese….psychologically i have more control of my choices throughout the day and dont feel like my tanks are empty.. because of him i changed my entire view of getting down to a healthy weight
What I love about Mike is that his words are encouraging to the average Joe that struggles with weight more or less cronically (myself being one). He drops many tips here and there for you to do your triage, depending on your possibilities, and improve your habits by improving your knowledge. A great communicator 👍
I’m glad that Dr Mike is on this.He’s hit great advice but happy to admit when he was wrong, there are some people complain that his thesis for his doctorate has some dubious references but we all make mistakes. He’s an absolute legend Shame Steven Bartlet is such a self obsessed bore , although admittedly a very successful one ☝️
Daily activity level also needs to be taken into account. When I was working construction, I was able to eat a ton of calories and just stay at maintenance. Now that I have a much slower paced job, I've gained about 25 lbs, and even though I work out, that extra weight won't budge.
Maintenance is actually trickier than losing. U can easily recomp at 20% but at 10% you don’t want to miss because u love ur physique but want to make strength gains. I do think maintenance is a good mental and tracking exercise.
That was really helpful information, especially the part about muscle mass not having a huge impact on calorie burning. I’m inspired to cut out sugar and bread!
When I exercise, I find it regulates my appetite, and I crave healthier foods. Exercising for health benefits is a great idea, rather than body weight.
FINALLY! Someone that knows what they are talking about. All these people that talk about diets like Keto or other methods complain saying soon as you come off it, you'll put it back on. This guy gets it! Once you get to a weight, you need to then maintain it! First person I have seen mention this compared to all these other people that make a living talking about diets and don't know what they are talking about.
I don't crave for junk food. I need proper nutrition. That's what makes me happy. However, when I crave some bs, I have it and my body goes like, "okay, thanks". I don't diet, I have a healthy eating habit.
As a perimenopausal woman, exercise absolutely makes me ravenous. Then I'm advised to intermittent fast just to keep from gaining. Losing weight is a pipe dream and I'm hungry all the time. Frustrating. :(
You're getting the opposite advice to what you need. Kate Deering has a great book with an approach that helped me during menopause tremendously. I've been a trainer for decades, she has as well, and the approach she uses seems counter intuitive but it lowers cortisol, improves sleep quality and overall stress, and then metabolism starts to pick back up again. Give it a look, see if it resonates. I wish I'd found it sooner, because all of my training and experience wasn't helping me once the hormones were slamming up and down all the time.
So basically, you don’t have to cut out carbs. Cheat a bit on the weekends. As long as you keep good eating habits in control and stay active daily, you’ll lose weight.
I agree since its tougher to change your diet when around family members. The best solution - instead of changing your diet, limit junk food intake, and stick to working out everyday.
@@TheMightyOdin No, you can`t. I am actually doing this very successful every time I want to get very fit. It works perfectly , healthy and fast. Keep in mind what you consider as "healthy" food may not be healthy at all. Even the dressing in the salad can actually gain weight rapidly. In this period you can also exclude the nuts, or eat max 20-30g raw nuts per day. You can eat pork and chicken - only baked, 3-5 eggs per day - only boiled, tomatoes, onion, garlic, cucumber, cheese, yellow cheese, olives and pesto. For dessert - apples - one per day. You can rotate the food variaty with SIMILAR vegetables.
@@TheMightyOdin You can't over eat on whole foods. Try over eating on vegetables like cabbage or broccoli, it's impossible. Heck even fried chicken is very difficult to over eat.
@@danielkoman6947 Mostly - if you eat more times you risk to eat more than needed. Second - your body needs time to process the food, some foods like prok, mushroomas and others need 3-4 hours and more to fully digest and you may not have finished digesting the previous meal and start a new one. Third reason - tipycally you need to go to bed atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal and you need to train atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal. So you won`t have enough time unless you eat less and light food, but then you risk to stay hungry and mess with your blood shugar, insuline levels and train capacity. Four - I`ve tried this and say if from personal experience. 3 meals ar optimal , but occasionaly you can eat 2 or 4 meals. For example - you have not trained today, you have lazy day in home and not hungry - 2 meals are fine. But when you have busy day and train - you can go for 4.
Been losing weight recently, I'm down to 2 meals, and relatively small, focusing on protein, I'm findiyit difficult to even eat 1200 calories now, I have never been this full in my life. Been doing this for a couple months, I'm not longer focusing on food anymore, weight is slowly but steadily coming off.
It’s simple, eat real food (fatty cuts of meat, eggs and veggies if you want) and stay away from sugar and processed foods. They’re highly palatable and addictive.
The hardest part of losing weight is not feeling enough energy to work out and thinking I'm not eating enough. But then I can't figure out what the ideal balance of eating more and working out more is.
Sounds great! Though I wanted to push back on the idea of a kebab as junk food. I get a skewer with grilled chicken and onions and peppers about once a week and it is very healthy.
It's a great point on the hunger response to exercise. I'm someone who doesn't feel hungry at all after exercise, and that actually helps me. I have a protein shake or bar for an early dinner, and train in the evening. When I come home, I reliably don't feel hungry, which means I don't snack in the evening. Evening snacking was always one of my biggest weaknesses.

Carbs are cells preferred source of energy. It’s not the lack of carbs that are losing you weight it’s being in a deficit.
He’s my favorite health expert. ❤
good thinking taking advice from a moooron that has been on gear for decades, get a clue chica

Lol you have way too much time on hands responding to every comment complimenting Dr Mike.
No, he's my favorite!
This is exactly what my doctor recommended. I have a holistic doctor and he is awesome. I lost 10 pounds (i know i am lucky, that’s all i needed to loose) and my labs are now perfect. I eat what I want on weekends and back eating right the rest of the week. This worked for me 🎉🎉.
happy for you! do you eat small quantities of what yoy want on weekends or however much you want?
@@roomforthefiiixins2491I eat whatever I want. I am petite so I can’t eat too much anyway 🤣🤣
That is probably the best dietary and exercise information I have heard. So succinct and easy to understand. This message needs to be shared with all of us that struggle with our body mass!!!!!
I am 71, 5'4" and back to the weight - 8 1/2 stone - I was 50 years ago. I hate gyms but lead an active life. The last stone fell off me when I drastically reduced my sugar intake. I buy and cook fresh food from the market; do my own housework; rarely sit down. I eat what I want except I no longer eat cake every day
I'm also active (thinker & PC addict) & generally healthy (al the muscles in the brain), but I don't have stones (only 175cm & 66.5 KG ~perfect middle ;)
@@dimiberberu ok I am 165 cm and 54 kg 😁
@@dimiberberu How hard is it to google stones to KG?
Eat what you want, so long as you change what you want. Makes sense, really.
Absolute! What you say is good sense.
Love Mike's awareness and how he changed his language to use British vocabulary. It's the little things.
We need to stop calling eating healthy foods a "diet". It's a normal lifestyle. Normalize eating foods you're supposed to eat. Eating foods that provide little to no nutritional value should be called a "junk food diet" or "stupid diet".
We could call it masturbation diet. You are eating it just for pleasure, you getting desensitized by it and loosing control and very fast its getting unhealthy.
I agree 1,000 %%%%
Agree food vs junk. And there is a lot of junk masked as health food.
Proper Healthy Diet.
OK, but carnivore, keto, veganism, etc aren't it.
I’m in ketosis. At last. After some hard work and lots of learning how to do it, I’m happy. I know that if I fall back into the patterns of eating foods I really enjoy, which are not sugar free or low carb, I will, inevitably, become that tired, sore, depressed human being again who has no energy for life. I don’t consider this way of living a “diet” and it’s possibly forever for me. At no point in my future do I see me happily eating through my third plate of Chinese food at the buffet. But it’s worth it to feel and look good after decades of hating myself.
One saying that I picked up on many years ago was "You can't outrun your fork." So I definitely agree that the balance of diet and exercise is 80/20. Good clip.
I want to thank this guys started listening to him for a year and his advice top notch and guarantee results.
A lot of good info here. But the calorie burn from cardio is a little over/understated. He says 600 extra calories burned a week is a drop in the bucket, but it's a 9 pound difference over a year (600 x 52 / 3500 = 8.9 lbs). That's not insignificant and it only requires running 1 mile per weekday which takes less than 10 minutes and feels great. Not a bad deal!
This isn't to take away from his central message which is keeping your diet in check is the lower hanging fruit. Totally agree with that.
Lots of love from Texas for Dr. Mike!!!
I love it you eat two donuts you got six miles to run that day it shows how you can't out exercise a bad diet. you burn more calories just by being alive than by exercising. I would say its 90 percent diet and only 10 percent exercise.
Wow he made so much sense in this short video 👌🏽👍👏 and good questions / direction from the host 👍
finally, some deep philosophy around health - i hope he has challengers, but he's kinda killing here speaking to the general subjective. cheers and gratitude.
This channel has really helped me in so many ways. Fascinating speakers
Dr Mike Isreatel has changed my life. I’m moving to Africa to dig wells to bring clean water to orphans and midgets. I’m my spare time I’m teaching English and Frisbee to Zulu warriors. Thank you for showing me my true path Dr Mike! You’re the greatest
I've watched tons of Mike's stuff, this is one of, if not, the best, segments.
I've also had the "I'm a sinner" mentality. I always try to do better the day after I "mess up," but I also build in an occasional meal where I eat something a little elss healthy every couple of weeks. Never a massive binge, though.
I find Israetel challenging and reassuring at the same time. He's great to hear.
Dr. Mike is the man.
This dudes amazing i was 6ft 400lbs on the verge of being a diabetic a year later i was at 288 and i too had fallen off the band wagon and got back up to 350 found this guy a month ago and his advice through his videos has gottin me back at it back workin out back eating right down to 329 .. ive found if i eat a sensible portions of say oatmeal with some peanut butter powder and some cinnamon or a half cup of grits n cheese….psychologically i have more control of my choices throughout the day and dont feel like my tanks are empty.. because of him i changed my entire view of getting down to a healthy weight
Diet and exercise fatigue are real.
What I love about Mike is that his words are encouraging to the average Joe that struggles with weight more or less cronically (myself being one). He drops many tips here and there for you to do your triage, depending on your possibilities, and improve your habits by improving your knowledge. A great communicator 👍
Mike Israetel Head angles live rent free in my head 👽
muscles on his head got buff from the test, especially those on the temples
I’m glad that Dr Mike is on this.He’s hit great advice but happy to admit when he was wrong, there are some people complain that his thesis for his doctorate has some dubious references but we all make mistakes. He’s an absolute legend
Shame Steven Bartlet is such a self obsessed bore , although admittedly a very successful one ☝️
Very realistic and smart individual.
Michael is the GOAT. Brilliant advice.
Daily activity level also needs to be taken into account. When I was working construction, I was able to eat a ton of calories and just stay at maintenance. Now that I have a much slower paced job, I've gained about 25 lbs, and even though I work out, that extra weight won't budge.
N.E.A.T
This information is so valuable! On point!
Health is about balance but we live in a culture that is addicted to extremes. Maximizing this or minimizing that is not a good way to enjoy life.
Yea, Just take Ozempic
I stopped about 2 minutes in. Had to go see the full episode. Dr. Mike nd Doc Mike did a fantastic podcast!! Can't wait for this one!!
2:18 Thank you Mike I really needed to hear this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love this man ❤❤❤❤
um because why, he's a gear head and hypocrite?
@@therscale2872 why hypocrite? He never pretended to be natural, did he?
@@therscale2872 For example?
Its not your bisnis why
MIke is a fantastic person.
I allow indulgence daily in small amounts as extreme restriction causes bingeing!
I have the highest of respect for this conversation.
Maintenance is actually trickier than losing. U can easily recomp at 20% but at 10% you don’t want to miss because u love ur physique but want to make strength gains. I do think maintenance is a good mental and tracking exercise.
Yes
That was really helpful information, especially the part about muscle mass not having a huge impact on calorie burning. I’m inspired to cut out sugar and bread!
When I exercise, I find it regulates my appetite, and I crave healthier foods.
Exercising for health benefits is a great idea, rather than body weight.
Not me give me junk food
Body weight is also important. If you are overweight, you'll die young.
@@crand20033 I'm 60 .Just had health check everything comes back fine except 3 stone overweight I train most days. Lots of cairdo
FINALLY! Someone that knows what they are talking about. All these people that talk about diets like Keto or other methods complain saying soon as you come off it, you'll put it back on. This guy gets it! Once you get to a weight, you need to then maintain it! First person I have seen mention this compared to all these other people that make a living talking about diets and don't know what they are talking about.
Mike Just ran The gauntlet of podcast this past month
I don't crave for junk food. I need proper nutrition. That's what makes me happy. However, when I crave some bs, I have it and my body goes like, "okay, thanks". I don't diet, I have a healthy eating habit.
❤ and we are not bizzare as we enjoy eating real food.
Great advice, I love it.
As a perimenopausal woman, exercise absolutely makes me ravenous. Then I'm advised to intermittent fast just to keep from gaining. Losing weight is a pipe dream and I'm hungry all the time. Frustrating. :(
You're getting the opposite advice to what you need. Kate Deering has a great book with an approach that helped me during menopause tremendously. I've been a trainer for decades, she has as well, and the approach she uses seems counter intuitive but it lowers cortisol, improves sleep quality and overall stress, and then metabolism starts to pick back up again. Give it a look, see if it resonates. I wish I'd found it sooner, because all of my training and experience wasn't helping me once the hormones were slamming up and down all the time.
Very smart man, great insights
This dude is rather knowledgeable after all...
One of the best practical advice ever. Thank you Dr and thank you sharing.
So basically, you don’t have to cut out carbs. Cheat a bit on the weekends. As long as you keep good eating habits in control and stay active daily, you’ll lose weight.
yep, I run and burn around 400-480 calories daily Monday through Friday, and drink and eat junk on weekends, I am able to maintain my weight that way.
@fatboyvin - And just as importantly, you are also able to maintain your social life.
@@JB-lp9xr Indeed, I am not ready to trade my social life whatsoever :)
Solid Advice. Love the interviews. Create a 500c deficit daily, maintain or increase activity and consistently crush weight loss goals.
thank you for this video ❤
Dr. Mike is the best.
One thing I am finding is that a "clean" diet does not make me popular with the wife/child
I agree since its tougher to change your diet when around family members. The best solution - instead of changing your diet, limit junk food intake, and stick to working out everyday.
Be a good example. Sugar addiction is real. Don't make excuses to be unhealthy
Get a blackstone and meal prep 5 days of meals at a time.
Brilliant advice 🎉
10k steps with walking 5 km/h and not eating junk, 3 meals per day, max 4. And sleep 6-8h per day. Thats it. Works evety time. And NO alcohol.
Calories matter. Your 3 to 4 meals have to be in a proper calorie range. Not eating junk helps but you can over eat on “healthy” foods as well.
@@TheMightyOdin No, you can`t. I am actually doing this very successful every time I want to get very fit. It works perfectly , healthy and fast.
Keep in mind what you consider as "healthy" food may not be healthy at all. Even the dressing in the salad can actually gain weight rapidly. In this period you can also exclude the nuts, or eat max 20-30g raw nuts per day. You can eat pork and chicken - only baked, 3-5 eggs per day - only boiled, tomatoes, onion, garlic, cucumber, cheese, yellow cheese, olives and pesto. For dessert - apples - one per day. You can rotate the food variaty with SIMILAR vegetables.
@@TheMightyOdin You can't over eat on whole foods. Try over eating on vegetables like cabbage or broccoli, it's impossible. Heck even fried chicken is very difficult to over eat.
why max 4 meals=
@@danielkoman6947 Mostly - if you eat more times you risk to eat more than needed.
Second - your body needs time to process the food, some foods like prok, mushroomas and others need 3-4 hours and more to fully digest and you may not have finished digesting the previous meal and start a new one.
Third reason - tipycally you need to go to bed atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal and you need to train atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal. So you won`t have enough time unless you eat less and light food, but then you risk to stay hungry and mess with your blood shugar, insuline levels and train capacity.
Four - I`ve tried this and say if from personal experience. 3 meals ar optimal , but occasionaly you can eat 2 or 4 meals. For example - you have not trained today, you have lazy day in home and not hungry - 2 meals are fine. But when you have busy day and train - you can go for 4.
Great to see Kryten doing so well.
10k steps is about 7km in walking. Eat protein. Limit alcohol and limit junk carbs
I even put collagen powder in my coffee. That's protein.
Just take Ozempic
@@iche9373 they got that stuff at my local trap house
Been losing weight recently, I'm down to 2 meals, and relatively small, focusing on protein, I'm findiyit difficult to even eat 1200 calories now, I have never been this full in my life. Been doing this for a couple months, I'm not longer focusing on food anymore, weight is slowly but steadily coming off.
Yes! ❤ congrats
Mike’s a beast! Enter interview he does - I click!
Can you please do a women’s specific DOACEO- Stacy Sims. Men and women are so different !
ITA yes please
Yes! ❤ Dr Stacy Sims…” women are not small men”
Women just need to vomit their food out after eating.
Few things bring me more joy than an after hike beer and a burger
It’s simple, eat real food (fatty cuts of meat, eggs and veggies if you want) and stay away from sugar and processed foods. They’re highly palatable and addictive.
It is simple. And it's addictive. If you are addicted, it's not simple
A good example of simple != easy.
OK uncle Eddie 💪🏿😅
And it’s a lifestyle not a diet. God bless, live healthy!
Exactly! Bearing an addiction is not simple!!
Excellent as usual! 👍👍
You can't outrun a bad diet
However, when you run, you can crave better foods
Than junk
I tend to
@@kathleenking47 I don't. I crave fatty greasy burgers, donuts, cake, cheesy burritos, etc.
@@vvoof2601 maybe just go for the carnivore diet. You get mest and fat. Lillie Kane has a great channel on it. All veg doesn't work for everyone.
You guys are craving food?
@josephrigley8974 I crave Mousseline everyday.
I like this dude. Great video👏
10:20 Mike forgot to mention that even though additional muscle mass does not really burn many extra calories, using them accordingly does.
Staring at myself in the mirror burns alot of calories
One pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day. Add more and you'll burn more at rest.
Dr Michael made this make sense to me 👏👏👏👍👍
THANK YOU
The hardest part of losing weight is not feeling enough energy to work out and thinking I'm not eating enough. But then I can't figure out what the ideal balance of eating more and working out more is.
Look into keto/carnivore. You’ll be satiated without cravings, if you’re eating enough fat. Your body/brain both need fat.
Great info,to allow your body to adjust and reset your metabolism for a couple of months
This guy's head shape is so crazy
His head muscles got buff from roids. Especially his temple muscles (temporalis)
Sounds great! Though I wanted to push back on the idea of a kebab as junk food. I get a skewer with grilled chicken and onions and peppers about once a week and it is very healthy.
Yaaay it’s Dr mike
I feel like both cardio exercises and lifting heavy ass weight are a must for good health, both physically and mentally. Lightweight babyyyyyyyyy!
I was taught, "you can never out run your mouth"
It's a great point on the hunger response to exercise. I'm someone who doesn't feel hungry at all after exercise, and that actually helps me. I have a protein shake or bar for an early dinner, and train in the evening. When I come home, I reliably don't feel hungry, which means I don't snack in the evening. Evening snacking was always one of my biggest weaknesses.
I follow the late John Meadows 90/10 rule. Ive been without fast or processed food long enough that I'll get diarrhea if i do.
Man Michael is changing the fitness industry and I'm here for it.
