    0:00 Intro
    7:15 Everything about diet should be individualized.
    9:10 Planned hedonic deviation = Cheat Day.
    9:45 24-hour energy expenditure is resting and active energy expenditure.
    12:10 During prolonged dieting makes you move less, fidget less, and move slower.
    12:55 A cheat meal or day bolsters adherence to a program long term.
    14:45 A prolonged low-calorie diet without breaks causes your body to slow down your non-exercise activity.
    17:10 If every few weeks you take a week off from dieting, you stick to the diet better.
    20:00 Processed diet foods are still junk food.
    21:10 Fasted cardio vs fed study saw no significant difference in fat loss in women.
    24:00 It is also important to look at the 24-hour period after exercise.
    30:30 1.6 grams/kilogram of body weight of protein is required to maximize muscle and strength gains in non-dieting conditions.
    36:50 Increasing protein intake well beyond the RDA shows no significant effects on kidney health, liver function, or bone health.
    39:55 Muscle loss can begin in your 30s with a sedentary lifestyle.
    42:15 Age related anabolic resistance is related to obesity.
    46:00 Risk goes up with BMI of 35 and up.
    50:20 Creatine works well for increasing muscle size and strength.
    55:20 Supplementing with leucine shows higher muscle protein synthesis responses.
    56:45 When you are consuming adequate daily protein, the addition of BCAAs does nothing to increase muscle size and strength.
    1:01:40 Match your carb fueling with the demands of the training.
    1:04:15 Maximized muscle growth is not optimized on ketogenic carbohydrate levels.
    1:07:40 On a very low carb diet, your appetite, output capacity, and resting glycogen levels are lower.
    1:09:45 Carbohydrate/Insulin Hypothesis of Obesity is not proven in testing.
    1:12:40 Hyperpalatable energy dense foods, full of refined carbs and fats, are what cause us to gain body fat.
    1:16:10 “When you stop drinking, you start thinking.”

      Yes for me little divinations off the narrow path just lead to bigger ones eventually. Until it’s a hot mess. Funny thing is I’m totally happy on the narrow path but the addictive mind starts doing its thing like “you don’t need to be religious about this” or “you can handle a little”. But it always leads to gaining weight and feeling so much regret.

My one requirement for me to stay seizure free is to ALWAYS eat breakfast, especially before training.

I've always been in the training department but I had to learn a lot of lessons over the years about nutrition, stress reduction, sleep, hormones, and a myriad of other topics discussed on this splendid channel. I've also been going for post meal walks for 16 months straight and it honestly is one of the most brilliant things ever, and yes I've heard it on other channels for years but it was Mike that got me to consider it, and I like to test things out before I start preaching so y'all need to get out there and take a 10 12 or even 15 minute walk after every meal

      Even while leafy vegetables and vegetables with skins on them, which includes grain, is not only considered peasant food, leafy vegetables grains and other vegetables with skins on them will scratch your gut lining risking bacteria in your blood stream. Asparagus onions mushrooms broccoli, things like that are great for men as well as great for feeding the bacteria in your gut, but people should be eating mostly meat and eggs, even fruits potatoes and shelled white rice.

    So Insulin may not be the cause for fat gain on these short term studies, but what about the damages of insulin resistance and glycation long term on all of our bodies cells? Were talking infertility issues, Alzheimer's, etc etc? Yes protein can increase insulin but nowhere near the level of all carbs, even so called considered 'clean" carbs.

    • @carolallison9685
      @carolallison9685 Před rokem

      It's not the insulin causing damage. it's the sugar causing the problems. With insulin resistance, the insulin can't do its job, so the sugar is just floating around in your blood doing all kinds of damage. Not all carbs cause massive insulin spikes. Unrefined carbs have never been shown to cause insulin resistance. You have to look at gl (dont be fooled by gi). The load is what matters. How quickly does the food digest? Is the carb source mostly fiber, or is it heavily refined? The easiest way to test this is to hold it in your mouth without chewing. Bread will dissolve within a matter of seconds, whereas oat groats will not. Not only that, but cellulose in high fiber carbs have been shown to stick to sugars in the intestines, so something like groats or farrow can actually help you eliminate sugars by stopping them from being digested. This is why unrefined carbs have been shown to help regulate blood glucose. Not only that, but your gut microbiome loves carbs. All fiber is a carbohydrate. It's good to feed the things literally keeping you alive. Dont starve your bacteria, that's not nice. They're just trying to help you. If you aren't pooping a 2 to 3 pound poop a day, you have a problem that unrefined carbs can help with. Ever take a shredded wheat poo? It's massive, and very good for you.

    • @ppietrukaniec2
      @ppietrukaniec2 Před rokem

      @carolallison9685 Fiber is not required by the body at all, in fact it can be contraindicated. Studies have shown fiber does not "feed" or promote gut bacteria at all. Im on a pure carnivore diet and have perfect regular bowel movements once per day. All sources of carbs will break down to glucose in the body, causing insulin to be persistently elevated. Glycemic index and glycemic load is a myth.

I would be much more likely to fail overall if I said absolutely no more than 1 Night of drinking per week when one weekend has 3 shows i want to attend. I'm much better looking at the whole month and saying hey, I'm only seeing 5 shows this month total, including the one crowded weekend so I'm still trending my long term goals if I allow "my hair down" for that one weekend.

    I would also make note that for some portion of the healthy public who is training, alot of those people including myself are focused on muscle and hypertrophy, and when I structure a workout it's more tuned to a lifting session, so my goal is not how do I maximize fat oxidation, it's more about muscle building and adding lean tissue so for that reason alone, training fasted almost never works for me at least because my goals are to add muscle and frankly for me that is best having some food in the system...
    I've found lifting later in the day while having one or two protein based meals and some fats allows me to add muscle better vs trying to lift on an empty stomach. Also working out in general is not a good weight loss strategy, we know that most of weight loss is done in the kitchen and excercise should be viewed as a tool and done for the benefits of cardiovascular and strength, not to hyper focus on calories burned because that's not how it works in the long haul when it comes to weight loss, for most people doing a cardio based exercise routine, the amount of time spent vs actual calories burned is negligible unless your one of the few who hyper focus and track calories.
    I view exercise and training more around the physical benefits like for me trying to add more lean muscle but for weight loss and good body composition, I find almost all of that is achieved by good food decisions and rest, I don't go into the gym thinking I'm gonna burn 500 calories and then it's all potentially lost by one session of overeating vs slugging it out for two hours on the treadmill.
    You burn body fat when you've trained your body to be a fat burner vs burning carbs, you can run on the treadmill all you want but if your still a carb burner at the end of the day, your body won't be able to tap in and burn its own fat stores, regardless of the workout.

    I never understood keto. So im an ecologist, and you can see in the animal kingdom how restrictions on natural foods can be detrimental to an animal population. So let's take deer. When controlling for cwd outbreaks, we can see the deer population is still in a drastic decline. This is because of grass. So deer are designed to digest tough woody vegetation. Well, we humans like mowed grass along our highways and under power lines. So what's going on? The deer are eating the grass and are actually dying from nutritional deficiencies. Their diets are no longer diverse, so their gut bactieria isn't getting the roughage it needs to synthesize vitamins, and many deer are no longer making it through tough winters.
    So, how is this epidemic of mowed grass anything like fad diets such as keto or veganism (not to be confused with vegetarianism)? Well, on keto, carbs are restricted so much that the majority of fruits and vegetables are off the table, literally. We all know synthetic vitamins dont absorb nearly as well as our bodies need them to, this is why they are supplements. Keto doesn't allow for many natural food sources of the micro nutrients we need for our bodies to function properly. Vaganism is the opposite side of the same coin. By eliminating every animal source, you have now cut out most of your essential amino acids. If you take a look at both long-time vegans and long-time keto nuts, they all look the same. They lose massive amounts of lean muscle mass, and like the deer, just start to look very sickly over time. Eliminating natural foods that are known to be healthy is never a good idea unless you have an actual medical condition where that might be necessary. While we can't save the deer because deer just dont listen to sound advice, you can save yourself by eating a diverse diet in natural foods.

    My biggest reservation about creatine supplementation is that the two men that I personally know who have used it have had problems.
    One was about 25 years ago, and I watched his intelligence drop from one day to the next.
    The other was this year. He experienced erectile dysfunction after about a week of taking 5g per day. Once the accumulated loading cleared a few days after he stopped, the ED went away.

    I’d love to learn more about creatine and women. I know many women can take without issue but after one month of consistency creatine use, my hair was falling out in chunks. My functional doctor suggested it was the creatine increasing dha. I’ve been off it for about a week and still losing quite a bit. Really hoping it reduces as I’ve also heard if you have a genetic predisposition to hair loss, creatine can trigger that and it won’t resolve on its own even with stopping the creatine. Not sure if any of this is true but would love to hear if other woman have had this. 🙏🏽

      ​@@GregariousAntithesis i misspoke. yes, you still need progression, let me clarify. if you do 1 hr cardio and burn 500 calories, you dont just burn less. to burn more, you either speed up, increase intensity, or go longer. if you started at 500 calories and kept the same skill level, same muscle mass, you will still burn 500 calories years down the road. the fact is, your body MUST use energy to move. it doesn't use less with increased energy demand, that makes no sense.
      what i said is also spoken about from layne norton and greg doucette.
      if you are not losing fat, you are simply eating too much for your activity level, whether you are doing cardio or sitting around. there really isnt much nuance to it.

      @cherryl225 Před rokem

      ​@@GregariousAntithesis cardio (or in this case, your training) improves aerobic function in the way you described, by strengthening the heart to pump the same blood volume with fewer beats. this enables you to increase effort / caloric burn. any time you change exercise, you will go through this adaptation process. its part of fitness, but it does not slow down metabolic rate. the illusion of slowed metabolism is actually just fatigue and moving less, which can be compensated for by adding activity. the way to slow metabolism is to lose muscle, as muscle is the driver of metabolism.
      are you tracking calories by the gram, with a food scale, and do you know your daily energy expenditure? because i am tracking, and i observe the exact opposite of what you say. i burn more overall calories during cardio than when i started, because i bike faster (more muscle) and can go longer (more calories per minute).

    John Kiefer the author of carb nite and carb backload said this exact thing in 2010-2012
    I have followed this style of dieting
    Eating carbs only after training for carb backloading
    Low carbs on non training days
    And low carb all week except for the 7th day you carb up for 6-8 hrs
    Kiefer thought it was insulin as the problem then as a good scientist let that go as argon explains it’s not the issue.
    The issue is the carbs are the poison and the poison is in the dose. Meaning lots of carbs when you don’t need them will over stress the mitochondria causing damage to the mitochondria. Sending you down the disease state.
    But adding them in after training and you soak up the carbs. With no damage
