Wish I could agree, unfortunately that video at this time as ~125k views. Most anti-sugar videos, such as Lustigs the bitter truth or John Olivers cover on sugar are in the millions. He needs a more catchy title and more in depth review to be more convincing.

He has a lot of ( positive) energy, i really enjoy watching his videos, i found him about 2 weeks ago and i started working out again after not going to the gym for about 3 years.
I have learned so much stuff from you, Jeff. I used to spend hours trying to find the appropriate research papers using my wife's student login. Now all I need to do is wait for your videos and you link to all the relevant papers. This is like a research paper in video format, with all the citations and stuff. Great job, man 👌🏼
are you saying jeff is wrong? if you are saying that. Than you are wrong and you should unsubscribe from this channel. We dont need any naysayers because Jeff is never wrong and He knows the way.
Ha. Memes aside, not necessarily. Jeff puts research into a format appropriate for RUclips and his viewers (ie. not meant to be applied to academia, per se). Often methodological short-comings, or the significance of the variables, study population etc., are not always discussed. This is why people may come to such different answers when arguing something like sugar, in his previous video, because there are a host of contextual issues as well as misinterpretations just by accepting a published results (as is somewhat the case here, ie. authors concluded). I agree with Jeff (at this time), but I'm not in a position to be reviewing the studies as he has at this time, but that could change.
You can do cardio ,but it does depend on amount. Weights are great!!! The more muscle mass that you have the more calories you will burn at a resting rate. Plus doing cardio is great because it help promote things like blood flow and oxygen which is essential to muscle building. The best way to do cardio is high intensity for about 15 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. If you don't believe me look at the difference in body shape an Olympic sprinter versus an Olympic cross-country Runner. Olympic sprinters are normally Jacked and they do cardio. It also depends on your goals. If you are super skinny trying to develop muscles you may not want to do cardio. Outside of that do some cardio. I don't think you should do hours of cardio because it lowers testosterone and can affect protein synthesis. If your goal is weight loss due about 15 -20 minutes of hiit cardio 3 to 4 times a week
@jaywood1313 1. training philosophy and their weight lifting and cardio is set up for their specific needs because they have certain proportions that are considered best for their sport. 2. If you are bodybuilder and you are in prep phase and you want to lower the risk of injury then you will not perform HIIT (p.s. your 20minutes of hiit 3-4 times a weeks sounds more like moderate cardio cause there is no f.cking whey for someone who is trying to lift as much as posible that he will recover properly and do HIIT perfectly 4 times a week 20 minutes per session). 3. The best way to do cardio is to do what ever makes you happy and doing something that will hinder your goals might not be as beneficial as you think and at the end of the day its your personal choice ( do what makes you happy). 4. How you look at the end will depend on how your weight lifting vs cardio per week session you are doing(witch goes back to 1.) if you want to look like bodybuiler doing as much cardio as you can might not be the best option for you because your body needs to adjust your BMI, BF, speed and agility, so that you can get better at your needs if you are doing it right. 5. Cardio is cardio and you have to choose wisely depending on your goals, if its saving muscle HIIT might sounds good on paper and yes it works but at what cost thats the question... DO you see yourself 16 weeks later at the end of the cutt still doing HIIT and what will your weight lifting sessions looks like? 6. I prefer (as my personal choice to not involve cardio from startup, 1st cut longer, 2nd cut a bit of calories, 3. Involve 10min walking after every meal anD only when that stop working start with adding evening walks and 1 rave per week (4-8H of jumping left right) :D - and even that 1 rave per week is killing my recovery like next 2 days but you know what we all have things that we like in our life, and thats what i like so Im prepared to take that risk and hinder my goals just so that i can have balanced & enjoyable life :)
I wake up looking more cut after eating carbs before bed, actually. They help me sleep better. Thanks for the video. It's about how your own body responds to nutrition, which is most important.
We evolved to go out to get food, and then come back and rest to go at it again later. Now we are all surprised that a big carb heavy breakfast slows us down.
@@baldersn4474 I wouldn’t say that as long as it’s the right kind of carbs. Good carbs in the morning would be fruit and oatmeal. Bad carbs would be white flour bagels, pancakes, or waffles. And it depends on how it makes you feel.

I love eating a bunge of carbs a short period before going to bed. Makes me feel relaxed and sleep better (Sofer et al study). Bad sleep can inhibit fat loss. Eventually its all about total caloric intake.
As far as I know, high glucose = high insulin to control the sugar, insulin suppresses HGH secretion during sleep since they kinda go against each other.
Hey Jeff I’m a med student, and thing is i dont sleep much. Can i still manage building a lot of mass through training and eating properly, but quite little sleep?(5hrs)
Arin Lazurca I was just thinking about this today after I worked out at home. I've managed to make some noticeable muscle gains over a 3 and a half year span with 5-6 hours of sleep per night. The only downside for me personally from my experience is that my strength has not improved very much. Hope this helps...
I’ve gotten 4-7 hours of sleep for years. Had to go to grad school too (PT) and cram all night plenty of nights. Then got in a bad habit of staying up all night routinely. I still got results. I had a 2 month break one time and got great strength results sleeping more.
I find I have more "cravings" at night and I backload my calories anyway so always end up eating higher carb meals at night before bed! Thanks for the video!!!!
While carb intake before bed may not affect fat gain, glucose will inhibit secretion of growth hormone. From my understanding, most growth hormone is secreted during sleep. Therefore, carb intake right before bed may not lead to fat gain, but could potentially lead to less gainzz. Maybe do a follow-up vid discussing this?
I was also looking for someone to make this comment. I was under the impression that eating carbs specifically at night was because hgh secretion issue.
I mean EVENTUALLY they will, but muscle growth doesnt work that way. If only I could go into the gym a few times and be like "whoops just got all jacked by accident!"
Hi. I’ve read that if carbs are in the system at might it can stop the release of the human growth hormone, which 80% is release at night. Is this true and if so wouldn’t this effect muscle growth
Being a college student I pretty much have to workout around 8 PM most evenings and then eat a large meal around 10. I’m glad to see it’s ok do that! As always, thanks for the fantastic video Jeff.
This was so awesome, Jeff!! I really appreciate the flow of these videos. It’s as if you know my EXACT thought process and how to dismantle the myths it sometimes tends to believe! Such a solid series and I’m stoked to keep watching. This may sound kind of out there, but I also wanted to add that these videos are encouraging me to reflect upon/be critical of my past disordered ways (thoughts and actions that can creep up again due to conditioned habits and patterns). Overall, your super scientific approach and perspective is very helpful in bringing me to an even stronger, healthier relationship with food, training, and wellness. Keep it up!!
Eating too much before you go to bed is making you fat. Not too much carbs, not too much protein, not too much fats, etc. eating too many calories before bed time is making you overweight and obese.
Hey Jeff, did you come across any information on how the digestion process of a large meal before bed affects sleep quality and regeneration efficiency? Would be also quite interesting I presume. Also keep up the good work, greetings from a german fan!
Nice video as usual! Did you look at favouring carbohydrate intake around exercise and limiting it the rest of the day/night and how that effects fat storage/burning? Thanks
Hi, I just watch Jeff 2016 while taking photos by Patlee (it’s in my recommendation) , like 😮 ur body in 2years change lot!! What did u change or done because we all know that first year is the most muscles size u’ll gain but still gaining?! 👏🏻
I kept on looking at the bowl of popcorn throughout the entire video hahahaha Btw great stuff Jeff! IMO also ur best video so far from the "myth busted mondays" :)))
Health and Nutrition HOF Class of 2018: Jeff Cavalier, Jeff Nippard.... just all the Jeff’s. Bravo. (Oh and Bryce from Calgary Barbell, and Scott Herman)
The reason I've heard is that you shouldn't eat a lot very late (in general, not just carbs) because if the stomach needs to spend all night digesting then you'd supposedly get worse sleep. No idea if there's any truth to that.
4:35 OH MY GOD. I'm telling exactly this to people, because this is exactly my conclusion/understanding based on years of reading through scientific sources. Finally someone sane who doesn't think carbs make you fat. I can't believe the world we live in. A product contains 5 grams of added sugar, or has "carbs" generally, and people lose their shit over it, meanwhile they don't even think about their fat intake. I could hardly believe what I was seeing when I recently read a post in a nutrition related group from an individual who seemed genuinely frightened by the realization that starches break down to SUGAR in the body. And the idea that refined sugar is "poison"... Recently I was told to substitute sugar with dates in a spinach-peanut butter ice cream recipe I shared that has 300 grams of spinach and 30 grams of sugar. Like it matters when you have 300 grams of spinach in something. I analyzed the 2 variations of the recipe on NutritionData, and put their breakdown next to each other to show that there is hardly and difference in micronutrients. Unbelievable... people are pissing me off so much on a daily basis 😂
Your essentially correct. The problem with sugar is it’s so calorie dense, and excessive calories makes one fat. How about the person who thinks sixty grams of evaporated cane sugar is any different than processed sugar?
I feel like this isn't a "myth busted" the other ~50% expenditure came from being active which is something you're not doing while you're asleep, so in effect won't you be saving(fat) ~50% more from the food u eat at night ?
Yea. I'm not gonna lie, I just took an Ambien to go to bed and I'm feelin' pretty woozy, so maybe I missed it, but I'm fairly certain this critical variable was not addressed. Eating carbs around physical activity when GLUT4 is more highly activated dramatically changes nutrient partitioning for the better. Presumably, most people are not partaking in copious physical activity late at night, (well, one cardio-specific example comes to mind...but I digress). It therefore follows that timing one's consumption of carbohydrates to be earlier in the day, around exercise and/or other physical exertion (e.g. physical job, etc), would be demonstrably superior to eating them later at night when most people are largely dormant. I hope Jeff will address this in a future vid. Until then, I will continue to restrict my carbohydrate consumption during non-active hours.
I just watched this video for the fun of it, as no matter what information is being presented, scientific or not, it completely goes against my personal experience. The "science" means nothing if my body doesn't listen to it, although I wish it did. It's just a fact for me, that when I eat close to bedtime, I gain weight like crazy. Normally I eat a good size breakfast (what most people eat for dinner), and I'd have lunch, and then at night I just eat a piece of fruit. But when I'd start skipping breakfast, and eat my 2 regular meals as lunch and dinner, with dinner being only about 3 hours before bedtime, I start gaining weight. By the end of the week, I can grab a noticeable chunk of new fat around my midsection. That's how bad it is for me. The main thing I've learned about these "science" videos? I'm reminded that "science" is fluid. What may be true today can be disproved tomorrow with newer information. I can't count how many times "science" has gone back and forth between milk being good or bad for you. Same with the cholesterol in eggs.
as someone who practices IF every single day, I have been eating all my carbs late afternoon/evening/night for nearly 3 years with a great majority of that intake being CARBS, as my diet consists of high raw plant based vegan foods! PLANTS! CARBS! not making me fat over here ;)
Question, now it’s not bad to eat carbs at night, BUT does it matter what carbs? For me i always have majority of my carbs mid day night due to sometimes fasting (not intentional) but my sources of carbs are red potatoes and sweet potatoes. For my last meal I have 3oz of each.
How do you know what kinda information i need in every moment i open your RUclips channel....do i store these carbs as fat after i eat these pancakes at night ..next day i see you uploading this , you are the best Jeff :D
i wouldn't call this busted! 2 main points.. If you eat carbs late at night, the fat metabolism boost you get from fasting starts 6-12 hours after your last carb meal when insulin drops to base line. I'd rather skip the late carb meal and wake up in full fat burning mode rather than just starting it... nothing better than burning fat while your asleep. Not to mention that you still have to digest and assimilate that food (which also takes 6 to 8 hours). I'd rather my body have full resting capabilities when I'm sleeping, rather than it working to process food! Sleep is where you do all your cellular repairing (inc muscle) and I'd rather not waste my sleep by having by body working on something else. (IMHO)
I saw in "trust me im a doctor" that they did a study on this subject and they found that the group who didnt eat from 18-09 loss weight and the other two groups, placebo and eating at night had no differens in weight loss/gain. They did same amount of calories. So why do you think they loss weight? Because of the insulin level during that fast, 18-09, or something else?
LMAO cringed so hard @ 4:37 had to close the video „dnl is rare in humans under normal eating conditions“ Judging by your tone you yourself didnt even believe the words that came out of your mouth there lol normal means the MIDDLE VALUE now look at the avg american and tell me that dnl rarely occurs in his obese organism...
Idea for video: busting the myth(s) behind specific footwear while squatting. Oly lifting shoes, barefoot, or running shoes! Love your videos man keep it up!
Great video as always. Check the correlation between melatonin and insulin levels. One way to look at it is higher insulin levels suppress melatonin release which leads to worse sleep quality->lower hormonal release (hgh and testosterone) which if we look long term, eventually leads to higher body fat and less lean mass. Other way to look at it is simply that at the exposure of darkness we start to release melatonin which proven by research, suppress insulin as our body is programmed to have a steady blood sugar levels during sleep. However, I believe this is 1% of the whole puzzle, so people shouldn't be too stressed about it.
Jeff! I just would like to say a huge Thanks. I have been watching all your series lately, and it really helps my eating disorder recovery. I think there are so many myths that mislead people to restrict themselves and stressed out..and most of them are totally unnecessary... . Cheers to your own fitness journey and more amazing videos!
Thanks for the great video! Definitely provides „food“ for thought. It’s also worth noting I think that not all carbs have been made equal. Therefore it would also be of interest to address the role of glycaemic index and load in weight gain as this will dictate the overall energy uptake and density of the meal. It has been theorized that the rate of lipogenesis may be modulated by rate of carbohydrate uptake as well as carbohydrate load as a means of preventing hyperglycaemia. This has been a big problem in the consumption sugary drinks which have been associated with conditions non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as ectopic muscle fat deposition.
Would love you to do a full day of eating and show us your meal times and what macros you eat and when 👍🏻 please do one in the future great vid as always you’re killing the game 🤙
Can anyone help me? Well, I've always been fan of body building and all I lack is knowledge about food and how body works any suggestion how can I start learning about food and macro requirements? where can I start learning about all these things?
Three years late but for anyone wondering the same, check out the Renaissance Periodization channel on RUclips. Very conveniently structured lectures. I believe Jeff also has quite a few videos that can fill in the gaps.
I feel like shit in the morning if I eat carbs late at night. I find the massive spike in insulin that close to sleep messes with my hormones more than having a lower carb keto style meal with high fat and protein before bed.
This video has me confused. The first study you referenced, compared measured and predicted basal metabolic rates (thus it’s conclusion reflects this, not your first myth premise). The conclusion also states, “these results indicate that while METABOLIC RATE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW BMR DURING SLEEP...”
Hi Jeff, I have read conflicting information on these , so can you please help me clarify :- 1) what will the body use in anaerobic activity ( 6 rep max ) when the glycogen stores are empty ( on keto ) ? protein or fat? And why? 2) in aerobic exercise, first 20 mins the muscle glycogen will be used and then the body will use fats for rest 40 mins ( when training under 60% MHR ) So why can't a person start cardio with zero carb intake, if fats are gonna be used and no muscle proteins? Because its recommended to have complex carbs before a 60 min cardio 3) which will lead to more hypertrophy? - structural and unsupported compound movements or Isolation movements? And why? If you are going to answer all these in the next video, then please let me know so that i don't miss it@ Really appreciate you spreading your knowledge and experience Thank you :-) Yash karani here , India Also, which are the websites / publications , that give out 100% genuine updated research on fitness , exercise science and sports nutrition ?

The effect of cardio on muscle growth/shrinkage? Does cardio make you lose your gains?
good idea. The short answer is, of course "it depends" (in this case on the frequency, mode, and intensity)
dont do cardio. if you want cardio. just lift the weights faster
Sounds like a modified “can’t cut and bulk at the same time”
You can do cardio ,but it does depend on amount. Weights are great!!! The more muscle mass that you have the more calories you will burn at a resting rate.

Figel the Great I see a Jeff too you mad brah
Can you do a video about whereing a sweater to and after the gym, and if it is important to keep muscles heated for maximum muscle growth?
Absolutely love the content. I'm studying through NASM right now and I've been using a lot of your content to learn. Keep it up. :)
The effect of marathon on muscle, how to decrease muscle loss from cardio if it does?
Literally staying up just so I can see when Jeff posts this. Keep up the great work Jeff, you're my favorite youtuber and an inspiration
appreciate it man!
please do a video correcting your stance on eggs
Eating too much before you go to bed is making you fat. Not too much carbs, not too much protein, not too much fats, etc. eating too many calories before bed time is making you overweight and obese.
Hey Jeff, did you come across any information on how the digestion process of a large meal before bed affects sleep quality and regeneration efficiency? Would be also quite interesting I presume. Also keep up the good work, greetings from a german fan!
Great question! If anyone has this answer please respond. Thanks
Nice video as usual! Did you look at favouring carbohydrate intake around exercise and limiting it the rest of the day/night and how that effects fat storage/burning? Thanks
Thanks much for the informative videos. I really appreciate it.
Great content. There is NO need for that distracting music in the background...it's just a bunch of noise.
Thank you for making these videos. It really helps gain clarity in an industry fraught with misinformation.
I just had a solid amount of carbs before bed because I haven’t eaten in a few hours. Thank you for making me feel a lot less guilty about it.
Hi, I just watch Jeff 2016 while taking photos by Patlee (it’s in my recommendation) , like 😮 ur body in 2years change lot!! What did u change or done because we all know that first year is the most muscles size u’ll gain but still gaining?! 👏🏻
I kept on looking at the bowl of popcorn throughout the entire video hahahaha
Btw great stuff Jeff! IMO also ur best video so far from the "myth busted mondays" :)))
100g pre-bed carbs for the epic Z's
Health and Nutrition HOF Class of 2018: Jeff Cavalier, Jeff Nippard.... just all the Jeff’s. Bravo. (Oh and Bryce from Calgary Barbell, and Scott Herman)
I needed this in order to justify eating this amazing food right now at 11pm
The reason I've heard is that you shouldn't eat a lot very late (in general, not just carbs) because if the stomach needs to spend all night digesting then you'd supposedly get worse sleep. No idea if there's any truth to that.
That was really educational. I notice on my Garmin app I burn 400-500 calories while asleep, which tells me this guy is spot on.
Subscribed from this. Great science backed advice and straight to the point be well man!
can you do episode about creatin should we cycle it while we consuming or not it’s safe to use it all year long
ageel albani while you wait jeff version, Eric helms did something like this yet
He did a video o creatine, cycling is bullshit
Could you please do a video on the Keto Diet? :-)
You think it'd be unbiased? 😄
4:35 OH MY GOD. I'm telling exactly this to people, because this is exactly my conclusion/understanding based on years of reading through scientific sources. Finally someone sane who doesn't think carbs make you fat. I can't believe the world we live in. A product contains 5 grams of added sugar, or has "carbs" generally, and people lose their shit over it, meanwhile they don't even think about their fat intake. I could hardly believe what I was seeing when I recently read a post in a nutrition related group from an individual who seemed genuinely frightened by the realization that starches break down to SUGAR in the body.
And the idea that refined sugar is "poison"... Recently I was told to substitute sugar with dates in a spinach-peanut butter ice cream recipe I shared that has 300 grams of spinach and 30 grams of sugar. Like it matters when you have 300 grams of spinach in something. I analyzed the 2 variations of the recipe on NutritionData, and put their breakdown next to each other to show that there is hardly and difference in micronutrients.
Unbelievable... people are pissing me off so much on a daily basis 😂
Your essentially correct.
The problem with sugar is it’s so calorie dense, and excessive calories makes one fat.
How about the person who thinks sixty grams of evaporated cane sugar is any different than processed sugar?
I feel like this isn't a "myth busted" the other ~50% expenditure came from being active which is something you're not doing while you're asleep, so in effect won't you be saving(fat) ~50% more from the food u eat at night ?
Yea. I'm not gonna lie, I just took an Ambien to go to bed and I'm feelin' pretty woozy, so maybe I missed it, but I'm fairly certain this critical variable was not addressed. Eating carbs around physical activity when GLUT4 is more highly activated dramatically changes nutrient partitioning for the better. Presumably, most people are not partaking in copious physical activity late at night, (well, one cardio-specific example comes to mind...but I digress). It therefore follows that timing one's consumption of carbohydrates to be earlier in the day, around exercise and/or other physical exertion (e.g. physical job, etc), would be demonstrably superior to eating them later at night when most people are largely dormant. I hope Jeff will address this in a future vid. Until then, I will continue to restrict my carbohydrate consumption during non-active hours.
Love these Myth Bust Mondays a lot more man. They are just more simple and straight to the point👊
Please next myth Monday cardio after legs don't burn slow leg gains!!!!!!!!!!!
exact 10minute boiz
get that youtube money Jeff!
I just watched this video for the fun of it, as no matter what information is being presented, scientific or not, it completely goes against my personal experience. The "science" means nothing if my body doesn't listen to it, although I wish it did. It's just a fact for me, that when I eat close to bedtime, I gain weight like crazy. Normally I eat a good size breakfast (what most people eat for dinner), and I'd have lunch, and then at night I just eat a piece of fruit. But when I'd start skipping breakfast, and eat my 2 regular meals as lunch and dinner, with dinner being only about 3 hours before bedtime, I start gaining weight. By the end of the week, I can grab a noticeable chunk of new fat around my midsection. That's how bad it is for me.
The main thing I've learned about these "science" videos? I'm reminded that "science" is fluid. What may be true today can be disproved tomorrow with newer information. I can't count how many times "science" has gone back and forth between milk being good or bad for you. Same with the cholesterol in eggs.
as someone who practices IF every single day, I have been eating all my carbs late afternoon/evening/night for nearly 3 years with a great majority of that intake being CARBS, as my diet consists of high raw plant based vegan foods! PLANTS! CARBS! not making me fat over here ;)

Intermittent fasting for night is best
Question, now it’s not bad to eat carbs at night, BUT does it matter what carbs? For me i always have majority of my carbs mid day night due to sometimes fasting (not intentional) but my sources of carbs are red potatoes and sweet potatoes. For my last meal I have 3oz of each.
Are you gonna be going to the Arnold??
Chill Fitness he and Stephanie will both be there
How do you know what kinda information i need in every moment i open your RUclips channel....do i store these carbs as fat after i eat these pancakes at night ..next day i see you uploading this , you are the best Jeff :D
Is his drink on a book with no coaster? Violation
i wouldn't call this busted! 2 main points.. If you eat carbs late at night, the fat metabolism boost you get from fasting starts 6-12 hours after your last carb meal when insulin drops to base line. I'd rather skip the late carb meal and wake up in full fat burning mode rather than just starting it... nothing better than burning fat while your asleep.
Not to mention that you still have to digest and assimilate that food (which also takes 6 to 8 hours). I'd rather my body have full resting capabilities when I'm sleeping, rather than it working to process food! Sleep is where you do all your cellular repairing (inc muscle) and I'd rather not waste my sleep by having by body working on something else. (IMHO)
Another informative vid Jeff! Still looking forward to that foam rolling mbm
Gym Shapiro
I saw in "trust me im a doctor" that they did a study on this subject and they found that the group who didnt eat from 18-09 loss weight and the other two groups, placebo and eating at night had no differens in weight loss/gain. They did same amount of calories. So why do you think they loss weight? Because of the insulin level during that fast, 18-09, or something else?
*watches video eating a bowl of Cheerios at 10 pm* 😂😂😂
LMAO cringed so hard @ 4:37 had to close the video
„dnl is rare in humans under normal eating conditions“
Judging by your tone you yourself didnt even believe the words that came out of your mouth there lol
normal means the MIDDLE VALUE
now look at the avg american and tell me that dnl rarely occurs in his obese organism...
Idea for video: busting the myth(s) behind specific footwear while squatting. Oly lifting shoes, barefoot, or running shoes! Love your videos man keep it up!
Great video as always.
Check the correlation between melatonin and insulin levels.
One way to look at it is higher insulin levels suppress melatonin release which leads to worse sleep quality->lower hormonal release (hgh and testosterone) which if we look long term, eventually leads to higher body fat and less lean mass.
Other way to look at it is simply that at the exposure of darkness we start to release melatonin which proven by research, suppress insulin as our body is programmed to have a steady blood sugar levels during sleep.
However, I believe this is 1% of the whole puzzle, so people shouldn't be too stressed about it.
Im just gonna keep commenting every video. Please do BCAAs and why they are bs. Thanks jeff
Jeff! I just would like to say a huge Thanks. I have been watching all your series lately, and it really helps my eating disorder recovery. I think there are so many myths that mislead people to restrict themselves and stressed out..and most of them are totally unnecessary... . Cheers to your own fitness journey and more amazing videos!
Thanks for the great video! Definitely provides „food“ for thought.
It’s also worth noting I think that not all carbs have been made equal.
Therefore it would also be of interest to address the role of glycaemic index and load in weight gain as this will dictate the overall energy uptake and density of the meal. It has been theorized that the rate of lipogenesis may be modulated by rate of carbohydrate uptake as well as carbohydrate load as a means of preventing hyperglycaemia. This has been a big problem in the consumption sugary drinks which have been associated with conditions non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as ectopic muscle fat deposition.
Eating a box of cereal while watching this. Anyone else?
Would love you to do a full day of eating and show us your meal times and what macros you eat and when 👍🏻 please do one in the future great vid as always you’re killing the game 🤙
Can anyone help me? Well, I've always been fan of body building and all I lack is knowledge about food and how body works any suggestion how can I start learning about food and macro requirements? where can I start learning about all these things?
Three years late but for anyone wondering the same, check out the Renaissance Periodization channel on RUclips. Very conveniently structured lectures. I believe Jeff also has quite a few videos that can fill in the gaps.
Arremarr
Please bust the myth that you need crazy amounts of dietary protein daily! Ppl think they need crazy amounts to gain/maintain muscle...
Does the same apply in reverse if you are a night shifter, 7p to 7a, or is it all relative to your sleep wake cycle? Thanks
I feel like shit in the morning if I eat carbs late at night. I find the massive spike in insulin that close to sleep messes with my hormones more than having a lower carb keto style meal with high fat and protein before bed.
I hear this all the time and want to know: does protein powder make women gain weight?
N o
Hi Jeff! Can you do a science explained on nucleus overload? I wanna hear your perspective on the topic!
Short answer NO long answer IT DEPENDS
Just AK fitness both actually say no
Yes?
PictureFit I was thinking of you and here you are.
wow I love your content. keep up the good work

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON CALISTHENICS OR BODYWEIGHT EXERCISE
This video has me confused. The first study you referenced, compared measured and predicted basal metabolic rates (thus it’s conclusion reflects this, not your first myth premise). The conclusion also states, “these results indicate that while METABOLIC RATE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW BMR DURING SLEEP...”
i am around 100kg and even if i eat alot of shit and dont excercise my weight stays the same
can't wait for your video on fasted training! All of these points really apply and support the method of intermittent fasting!
Hey Jeff, can you do a video about good smoothie recipes for athletes? That would be awesome!
Hi Jeff,
I have read conflicting information on these , so can you please help me clarify :-
1) what will the body use in anaerobic activity ( 6 rep max ) when the glycogen stores are empty ( on keto ) ? protein or fat? And why?
2) in aerobic exercise, first 20 mins the muscle glycogen will be used and then the body will use fats for rest 40 mins
( when training under 60% MHR )
So why can't a person start cardio with zero carb intake, if fats are gonna be used and no muscle proteins?
Because its recommended to have complex carbs before a 60 min cardio
3) which will lead to more hypertrophy? - structural and unsupported compound movements or Isolation movements? And why?
If you are going to answer all these in the next video, then please let me know so that i don't miss it@
Really appreciate you spreading your knowledge and experience
Thank you :-)
