I lost 80 pounds in 2015 and had to completely change everything in my life to make it stick. Motivation only gets you so far you have to fall in love with the process. I truly love my life now and can't imagine going back where I was.
Awesome job Karen keep up the hard work !
Do you mind sharing some details on your journey. That’s a lot of lbs shed in a year.. what levers did you pull (diet, exercise, both, medication, something else?). What do you think was the biggest help that aided your success, what was the biggest anchor that you had to overcome etc?
@@raghu812I think food can be quite addictive for some folks, so probably any activity that helped her to increase feel good chemicals like exercising, social connection, meditation, etc. For me, what helps my addictive issues is hands down exercise. It is so essential to making neurochemicals. But I take lots of nootropics for my mental health as well.
@@carnivoroussarah Thanks ... this is good perspective !
Food is legal drugs for some people@@carnivoroussarah
This is basically the Cliffs Notes version of the book "Atomic Habits." It's all about how to ingrain lifelong, consistent behaviors.
You hit the nail on the head. Once you see progress with your new lifestyle , it becomes addictive
Truly!
100% True
Went from 215lbs to to 150lbs in 2012 have never put 1lb back on. You have to become a different person in your day to day life and live the lifestyle
There’s no perfect time. Most people are waiting for a perfect time to start. The time is now. You just have to find a way. That’s life.
All I know is that it was excruciating at Christmas listening to what family member was doing keto, doing fasting, taking some miracle supplements, etc, etc.
"The magic youre looking for is the hard work youve been avoiding."
Making it a habit and discipline are most important than relying on motivation which is always fleeting.
Inspiration/motivation => change/improvement/adaptation => habituation/discipline/self-efficacy/confidence => self-actualization/desired outcomes => more motivation/ inspiration...
This is exactly what Jeff Haden explains in his book “The motivation myth”. Definitely a life changing read.
As a ex fat man this is 100% accurate
A person gets addicted to the small and consistent successes by way of the positive feedback they're getting. Success breeds more success, and your goals are then achieved. The real enjoyment then, is the sense of flow, or pursuit of the goal. Im in one now, and having a blast!
It's cause weight loss sucks lol. It's hard to stick to and real easy to just not do it. Of course most people are going to have a hard time sticking with something that is uncomfortable and takes constant mental energy.
Seriously it drains your willpower like no tomorrow
That’s why you do a lifestyle change. You try and add things to your life that make your life better. You start small and add. It’s as simple as going for a walk and then over a period of time adding more steps. Then when that gets easy add something else that’s good for you. It doesn’t have to suck. Do something fun or at least acceptable to you.
@@andrewzach1921
Small incremental changes still suck, they just suck less then "cold turkey" type of changes. It's still mental and physical effort. And the choice between effort and no effort is, and for forever will be, a hard choice to make.
Yes exactly. The way you put it very plainly and matter-of-factly is correct. Losing weight sucks. It makes you uncomfortable and is boring. I should mention that in an interview that Layne gave, I forgive with who exactly maybe DeLauer, he said that quick weight in the beginning has the benefit of creating a 'buy-in' effect. Whereby an individual loses a big chunk of the weight they have to lose at the start and that serves to motivate him to continue to keep going even if the rate of weight loss slows down.
I have ADHD, and for folks with ADHD, waiting for motivation can't work -- we don't come with the motivation feature. Instead, as Layne says, it is factors like necessity of doing the thing, getting feedback, having accountability, and making the thing a part of our normal behavior, that can work. Let me add, practice, practice, practice. If we do the changed behavior over and over, it gets easier, and becomes a habit, which means it requires less force of will to keep doing it.
Eating the same meals everyday and making them as fast and convenient as possible also helps.
Habit is the ADHD hack for sure and cutting yourself some slack if you slip out of that, whilst aiming to get back on it if it's important to you.
Are you on medication? I stopped taking it cold turkey and have been in Withdrawal for 6 months. Ill never take it again. Messed my life up and brain. Praying for mkre healing.
It is so refreshing to see someone talking about health couching without “weight loss” as a presumed goal. I don’t want to lose weight, just continue to gain strength and muscle, and be the healthiest I can be as I age. I get so frustrated that most everyone in the health world rants on weight loss all the time as if that is everyone’s primary goal. There are still some of us out here who aren’t overweight, although I suppose, we are now in the minority (sadly).
Yep. When I make changes to my habits and I see the results, I'm like "Aw hell yeah" and feel very motivated to keep going.
Layne thank you very much from the bottom of my heart what you do and your team and how you guys change lives by giving out this information that's for free ! Your amazing!
The implications for this outside of health and nutrition are mind-blowing.
Thx for this, very informative!
Love you bro, you preach great scientific analysis!!
Thank you Layne.
Preach! The world and I needed this perspective to be shared in a video. This content is so underrated.
Dope as always
I can see this going the other way too. As in “I just had cake and lost all my progress so I’ll binge and start over Monday.” The negative feedback loop.
Good video as usual Layne. One suggestion. Purchase a new/better microphone, or be careful not to smother it as the sound comes out very muffled at points, which can make it very difficult to hear and understand what you are saying.
Keep up the good work, and hope you all had a great Christmas.
love. these vids
Am I çherry picking?
This study confirms what I've been saying all along. Three years ago, after dieting and exercising off and on for fifty years, I decided to make it happen by learning each day, charting, self accountability and sticking to a process, never afraid to tweek and improve the process!
In twelve months I went from 284 pounds to 195. Later on I lost too much 175, had poor muscle percentage.
Last October I hit 187, now I'm gaining muscle and losing weight, goal 36 waist.
My take: Baseline for happiness is good health.
Bad food and partying only enhances it short term but decays it rapidly and severly.
What is necessary IMO is a discipline - even if you don't see results for a while, you trust the process if you know for a fact it is correct. But you are also smart enough to know, if you don't see results for long enough, you have to go back to the drawing board and make some changes.
Started watching after seeing you on Dr. Mike. Found your outlook and candor very supportive and interesting. Thank you for the motivation study review; I really like it when you here a study results and go "oh, yeah it would make sense that it works that way. huh."
What this study doesn't really answer for me is how you get started and make it to that phase where motivation can kick in. I have chronic depression/anxiety and the cognitive blockers between me and even that starting point always feel insurmountable - to the point that just writing this makes me cry and self hate. How do people get past that?
Leaving a comment for the algorithm because I want Layne to get more followers!
Thanks for this video. It was a great breakdown of useful information. I've been trying to change my lifestyle for a decade now, and couldn't figure out why I'm not getting anywhere. This gives me some new things to try. (For the algorithm!)
Do the thing, and you will have the power. - Emerson
Commenting for the algorithm, thanks for the video
Great 👍
We need a video on the new protein study about the 100g of casein. Thank you.
Yo Layne you gotta do a video on the Bryan Johnson guy! He is all over my feed lately
Hi Layne, what is your opinion on Apolipoprotein B as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease?
Can you post a video for teenagers who are wanting to lift weights safely? Preventing injury, what to eat when your lifting... There's so many influencers out there with a lot of crap information that are just saying push hard, don't stop, be better..... Teen boys in particular need a man who has a positive message that is about self improvement from an early age but has the knowledge to push them hard while still allowing for growth spurts and how to lift while they are still growing.
No difference in lifting for teenagers and adults. Lift with good form, dont lift heavy all the time, rest a lot, eat average protein recommendation for bodybuilders and boom, you're on your way to becoming a beast.
Layne, Thanks for the excellent content as always. But, you really need to upgrade your microphone. The audio in recent videos has been particularly bad.
came to the comments to say this too.
@biolayne really shoud consider investing in a high-quality camera-mounted microphone.
an on-camera shotbun mic should suit your style of 'talk-directly-to-lens' type of videos.
the current lapel mic is constantly distorted (clipping) as you have a very energetic voice! (don't ever change that :D).
Hope ya'll have a great holiday season and New Year.
This reminds me of the Aristotelian concept of habitus. In this view, some actions (including moral) become second nature, so that it is hard for someone to break these habits. In a similar way, diet or workout habits involve behavior that becomes routine. The new paper confirms that once you've developed a habitus about some actions, motivation follows, not the other way around. I know some people will then say that robotic exercise is not good, but this paper suggests otherwise. It seems that far from harming your weight lifting or your dieting, robotic, habitual diet and exercise can actually sustain you long after your motivation fades away.
motivation comes and goes,discipline is for ever
Yup
I have yo-yo dieted for over a decade. At my highest 275 and my now lowest since I was a teenager at 197. After so many years of failing over and over again. the secret is to just follow a diet and exercise program consistently. No diet breaks, doesn’t matter which diet or split. Just do the same damn thing 4-5 days a week, get sleep, drink water and Until it is second nature to follow your diet and go to the gym. You too will also yo-yo up and down. Discipline is the one thing we as humans have lost and struggle with because we live spoiled entitled lives compared to even 60 years ago.
now I would like to see this qualitative research used to generate some models that can be tested quantitatively.
Oooooo interesting! 😮
I started my journey at the end of 2017, lost between 35 and 40 kg in 4 months.
2 things:
- was not motivated at all, just huge behaviour changes at the beginning. I’m gaining more muscle and maintaining my weight since then.
- I only got “proper motivation” after like 2 years, when doing more strength training (started looking way better)
Fuck motivation, did it because it needed to happen, if you have motivation or if you get it along the way, perfect, if not, should not matter, discipline is what matters.
You must have been incredibly overweight or retaining water like crazy because thats 10 kg a month which is 22 lbs a month whichs is over 5lbs a week which would take a daily calorie deficit of 2500 kcal which is more than most people consume for maintenance.
@@shane_rm1025 I’m 187 cm with a big build, reached 140 kgs of weight.. by then I reached a weight between 100 and 105 kgs. yes, I was extremely overweight.
“We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.” ― Richard Rohr (?)
Hi Layne. Here’s something I’ve always wanted to know. When you take a soy protein bar/shake, rather than a whey protein bar/shake, should you be eating more protein due to less bioavailability?
Pleeeease make a video on Dr. Robert Lustig's claims from his appearance on the Andrew Huberman Podcast. Very curious to hear your opinions on what he says.
In other words, the process, as well as the and goal, motivated the client
There is no doubt that behavioral change causing motivation if people get results, but what about those changes that do not cause no short-term measurable or subjective improvements for the dieter?🤔
Is motivation a reason why many people tend to oversell the effects of their new diet change?🤔
Professor white shirt needs to turn the microphone around.
Stress and work/life balance is a doozie though.
Go over the protein study please
Fear of looking like shit if I don't do the work is also a great motivator
🎉For the algorithm!
Layne's mic had a low motivation day today :-P. FTA!
layne I love you my dude, but I'm begging you please upgrade your audio set up
foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor the algorithm!
please make a video with dr mike isratel
Does this suggest that crash diets might work because you see results quickly so motivation might kick in quickly?
Motivation is a word I believe describes the want to do something where as desire is more accurate
Watching this while eating 3 chocolate bars 😂
Routine > motivation
Yes this
I've started working out around November 2023. The habit and motivation has stuck. I started Japanese last year too, and made decent progress in my view, but it has not really blossomed like weightlifting. Wonder why...
Whenever I've tried to change my bodyweight it's always been a straight forward process. I don't do this whole "lose 1 lb per week" thing. I choose a weight I want to be within a reasonable distance from where I am now. Say I'm 215 and want to lose ten lbs I use a calorie counter and math it up as if I'm 205 and just eat roughly a 205's maintenance. Maintain - 500 calories or 200 calories and adjust every couple weeks seems needlessly complicated.
I like the way you do that. Never even thought about that. Thanks!
to begin the positive feedback loop you need motivation though, otherwise where does the initial behaviour change come from
Forrrr the algorithm😊

C'mon, Layne. Comment on the new 100g protein bolus study.
Can you? Never heard of it.
@@What-he5pr "The anabolic response to protein ingestion during recovery from exercise has no upper limit in magnitude and duration in vivo in humans"

The previous belief was that 25g (or 45g in older subjects) was the plateau, and any more was wasted (burned as fuel / beta oxidized). But be aware that 4x the dose only gave 3x the benefit, so spreading it out would almost certainly be better.
@Individualati so basically take a big protein meal after workout?
@@What-he5pr To me, this study doesn't change the old tried-and-true: around 25g of whey after workout, then large meal with high protein around 3 hours after that.
They did use 80% slow-acting casein, so that's sort of like a meal. If they used 100g of fast-acting whey, the results might have been different and some (or a lot) might get wasted.
@@IndividualatiNever in my life have I done bro meal timing eating only 25-50g of protein a meal and always just eaten 1-2 big protein meals a day and never struggled to make good gains and in the comments of those who posted this study on their pages you'll also find lots people who never bought into this meal timing theory
That intro 😂
For the algorithm 🤩🥰💪🫶😁😎👌🥸🤓🥳🫡

This is a good video but is anyone else getting weird audio feedback on the video?
May I state further hypotheticals.
Perhaps psychological problems that may or may not hinder weight loss or may be an excuse, in fact may be removed by weight loss.
This goes for the possible excuse of hormones, energy deficit, food allergies or many reasons that people claim or market for the inability to eat less and move more.
Many of these symptoms were reduced for me as I lost weight.
" So I gotta solve this or that problem before I can lose weight!"?
Perhaps this approach is putting the cart in front of the horse?
Just speculating.
I got some supposed weight loss coach angered when I suggested this in comment at another site.
Layne what's your opinion on DHEA-S Cortisol ratio for justifying some "hard-gainers"?
Illuminate me
Not sure, like if you start lifting weights it provides pretty good motivation to improve your diet. Maybe you could be sedentary and start eating better, which motivates you to eat even better. Couldnt see it working for me. I always think for a lot of people its best for them to start doing exercise they enjoy, hit some goals, but maintain weight, when they hit the goals, they will have motivation to improve diet.
Doctors don't want you to know this one simple trick...
Man, I wish I could sign up but I KNOW I won't follow through. I'm just not there yet, maybe in another year or two.
If you need to be super motivated to carry out your new diet or fitness routine then it's probably not the right one for you.
Weight loss turns out to be AMAZINGLY easy... it's the after effect that can be disappointing... This year, at the age of 41, my wife (thanks to my research and cooking) has lost 38 lbs in 8 months, but unfortunately, even though some fat has gone from areas we wanted to "slim down", a lot's gone from both her face and breasts (two places you don't want to lose fat). It's made her look slimmer, but MUCH older. We're looking into aesthetic medicine (fat grafting; sculptra) to "fix" this.
The takeaway is: NEVER GET FAT, and if you already are, LOSE FAT ASAP (and exercise while doing it; my wife basically didn't, despite my pleading). The later you get to it, the worse you'll look afterwards (even when successful). SAVE YOURSELF THE DISAPPOINTMENT :(
Don't need science for that, it's my girlfriend always buying junkfood/sweets and keeping it around me all the time - was way easier to stay strong and healthy while I was single :3

Shit that works!! (Causes weight loss, too.)
Motivation sucks! Consistency is king!
It's not enough to want to lose weight, it has to be a lifestyle change or you have no chance
The book Brain Energy suggests that these stuff like lack of motivation, depression, addiction etc. come either entirely or at least partially from deep in our metabolism - the mitochondria.

I hate to blame the people around me but in my family i am the only one who really cares about health and fitness and it gets difficult to keep up when everyone around me is eating junk and sitting on the couch.
Why do you care about what they're doing? Focus on you. I would actually consider it pretty motivating that I'm doing the work that they aren't.
