i listen to all informative videos at 2x - 3x.
thank you, forgot you could speed it up. i put it on 1.5
Great video as always - would love to see something on EMF
Maintaining 4K calories a day would be a bitch with 2 meals.
Large breakfast and lunch and small dinner work very well for me
I eat 4000 calories+ in one meal since over a year... so everyone can be different
@@gacusrunner2004 what does it consist of?
@@gacusrunner2004I also prefer a one meal approach. Can you please share what you usually eat?
Great vid, just started doing it and I feel way less tired during the day already, it’s also amazing how much you look forward to your evening meal and how much better it feels like your body absorbs food because it’s had some real time to rest in between meals. The only struggle is I’m extremely active, I’m out mountain biking or hiking all day sometimes and it feels difficult to get enough calories in on a morning to see me through the whole day. Stopping exercising earlier and having an earlier dinner seems preferable to eating midday then resuming exercise as I feel a huge dip in energy and concentration after, which can and has lead to me having some bad crashes when I’m out riding. I’d rather have a shorter day riding with more focus, energy and clarity, than a long day with a lunch break where I’m tired and under performing for the second half of it.
nothing wrong with doing snacks during the day if you are particularly active. Dried meats, cheeses, dried fruits, yogurt and so on. I do this to fuel my late afternoon workouts. Works great. No snacks on days im not super active though. Seems to be a great rhythm for me at least.
Hi :) ,
Thank you for this .
What time do you eat in the morning and evening?
i only eat once a day for the last 8 years and feel like shit when i break this regime.
38 yrs old and I feel like as I get older I feel better eating way less. If I have a cheat day with the family I feel like pure garbage afterwards and it takes me a few days to feel normal
WTF ru eating? Bad diet@@TheSymphonyofpain
Sounds like you should get on top of your metabolic machinery
@@TheSymphonyofpainthe older you get more protein per body lb you need ✅
@@tomasexteriors def! I’m a marathon runner and Bjj player so I’m prob deficient in protein as well. It’s the processed food that kills my gut I eat really clean on the norm and feel great
I’d like to see a part 2 to this on what the meals and possibly training is like.
Great, never stop experimenting. 🙏 This is your true nature.
One big meal, one small meal. I adopted this when I did the aggressive fat loss programme by Kinobody. Great video!! Glad your experiment brought you to this
I eat brunch and dinner, no snacks, because I had digestive issues to deal with and now I’m used to it.
I have digestive issues, and I do the same, but I often feel like I need to be eating in more separate meals or snacks throughout the day. Wouldn't it be harder to digest a lot of food at once then it would be to spread it out throughout the day?
@@JackOLanternBob I saw a naturopath say that giving our digestion a long break (4-5 hours of rest between meals) allows it to complete the sweeping movement that removes food and bacteria which cause fermentation. This gives it a chance to clean itself up. I think eating small meals frequently is for people who want to lose weight. I have bloating and constipation so this works for me better. Do you have diarrhea?
@@plumeria66 oh that's interesting. I do get diarrhea a bit more often than I would like. That would be caused by too much bacteria or foods fermenting for too long, right?
@@JackOLanternBob The fermentation causes bloating. I don’t know about diarrhea. Could be you need probiotics which is good bacteria or digestive enzymes to help break down the food. I had diarrhea for six months from drinking too much vegetable smoothies so I stopped veggies and eventually it normalized. I think my body just ran out of digestive enzymes for the veggies.
@@plumeria66 yeah I avoid hard to digest plant food and prioritize meat and easy carbs like rice and potato. That's what seems to work best for me
This is exactly what I’m doing at the moment. It just seems so natural to my body. Im usually not hungry in the morning till lunch. I would eat a decent size brunch. Maybe a piece of fruit/snack between lunch and dinner; usually not because I’m not hungry. Then eat a big size dinner.
Sometimes I would eat more or less often listening to my body.
Thank you again
How you optimisme muscle growth and workouts with 2 meals a day? Lift beforen or after breakfast?
After. I can't say this is what is maximally good for muscle growth, however what I do is massive brunch. at 10. snack on workout days before the gym at 3-4 and dinner around 5:30. Protein shake before bed. Total daily protein, is more important than timing. Timing is something only worth worrying about if you are competitive.
@@NutritionLibrary
Timing is a bit important if you’re cutting and doing endurance too, actually.
was wondering why youtube stopped recommending your videos, had to search your channel. hope youtube stops shadow banning your content along with my favorite health channels
I can't eat in the morning, no hunger at all, so I only eat two meals per day
I also feel like shit if i eat 6x a day when iam bulking i eat around 5k a day and my digestion isnt that great tbh when iam cutting at the end iam on 3 meals a day 16/8 still eating 1k meals but my digestion is way better and i feel better my skin is better.
What time do you eat I the morning? Brunch technically is lunch time . Isn’t it ?
Interesting. I found that eating 16/8 intermittent fasting, I was still having that afternoon slump. It was even bigger because of the giant amount of food I ate. I eat 3-4 meals a day now and get a very minimal afternoon slump. I do this because of the downsides of fasting:
- increased stress hormones because of lack of glucose
- decrease in lean mass (cuz of stress) or very hard to gain
- feel very slow after cramming down a massive meal
I think what your saying makes some sense. I could see how eating 2 meals but not in a 16/8 fashion and more of a breakfast and dinner style could work. But I think you still need to bridge the gap between the 2 meals with some sort of glucose fuel or else there will come a point where your body runs on stress hormones. If you can time the glucose spikes right and avoid the crash by adding fats to slow digestion, you can mitigate this effect.
And that is why its true the old saying they always say breakfast is the most important meal of the day after you eat your breakfast it lowers your cortisol when you wake up
@@jaythree6366 yes. But people used it as a means to promote bs products like cereal.
I have been on 2 meals a day for 6 days the downside is i feel weaker at the gym. Can my full strength come back on 2 meals?
Good question
No. You need the calories and energy to work out. 2 meals works for those that don't do heavy workouts especially for the elderly and sedentary
@@larryc1616 Where did you get this information?
Just curious?
@BB-ux5wd bodybuilder for 20 years, amateur kickboxer, personal trainer and finally as a middle aged Doctor
Two meals a dat at 11:00am and 6.00pm is intermittent fasting, unless you are consuming carbs in between.
Usually doing a protein shake before bed, and breakfast at like 9:30
@@NutritionLibrary a protein shake just before bed is just another meal in liquid form so with your snacks you are close to four meals a day, and what is wrong with a nap after a meal in the afternoon I love to do that, sounds like double standards.
Me too. 3 meals feels bloated and too busy to prepare and eat.
@@liveloveride1676a nap after an afternoon meal? What are you retired?
@@ronburgandy3339 Definitely, 62 years old, I've been retired since age 45, you should try it, then your fitness will go to a new level.
Please make a video on enclomiohene
Chimpanzees gorillas and bonobos also eat only twice a day... Go figure, my family and I only eat twice a day as well and we are very healthy.
Hi, that's really interesting. where can I find that information? Thanks!!
would you please consider doing a video on agmatine in regards to potentiating dopamine and resetting tolerance to dopaminergic substances such as caffeine?
Nice video. Although I think that the palaeolithic has much more to teach us than the post agricultural society. Tribes on colder climates ate primarily meat with a lower frequency while on hotter climates there was a tendency to consume more vegetables with higher frequency. Of course there's everything in between as well. Society is a very recent phenomenon, and it doesn't have as much has an impact as we think. Ultimately, people should experiment and see what works best for them and for their routine and lifestyle choises
I'm a 6 meals per day person an always snack between meals because I struggle to maintain my weight and build muscle mass. Yes I feel sluggish and tired all day but i'm afraid if I try just 2 or 3 meals a day i'll lose weight. I once tried a water fast when I had covid and lost about 10 lbs after just a 3 or 4 day fast and then I lost my appetite so I lost another 10lbs over the next 2 weeks. It took me about a year 1/2 to gain the muscle weight back.
I’m one of these people who’s super power is losing muscle and weight at rapid speeds lol. Gotta be on top of the food.
Did you stil train wehn you were fasting and do you eat enough protein how much?
@@dutchbeekeper No, I didn't train when I had covid and I try to eat as much protein as possible and use protein bars and shakes. I get 100 - 150 grams of protein a day. I've been even eating Burger King every week, I love the Bacon King, but i'm going to stop and just make fresh burgers.
@@Username4453haha I trained when I had COVID you just weak. Everything went away in 3 days just had this nasty smell and taste for 2 weeks
@@gatesroyale I had it September 2021, had a fever, body aches, chills, and a severe sore throat that felt like I had glass in my throat which is why I did the fast. Your just lucky and probably caught a weak variant. I'm also a pure blood so I just relied on my immune system to fight it off, which i'll admit was weak at the time. Now i'm supplementing vitamin d+k2, NAC, vitamin c, and other stuff.
3:36 that is my problem 😢
It feels bad, so I will try 2 meals per day, gonna see what happens
2 meals per day and a protein shake is it okay ?
Yes
You don't need anyone's permission to eat as you wish.
i was working once and eating before i leave home and late and night after comming back. best performance , just fasting durring a day. So its possible
Quantity is the key !!
true
Quality over Quantity
You should check out Joel Greene's new book 'The Way', modt cutting edge nutrition info on diet and microbiome.
Now it's all about beard
Eat as many times as you want just do not overeat and cover your macro requirements mainly protein. If you only wanna eat 2 times a day go for it but I would add a couple of protein shakes if i would be working out heavy
I hear not to eat until 10 am, I also watch UA-camr Siim Land
Building muscle has left the chat
EXACTLY! this is for the average, unfit, fat, non active american.
what is building muscle dependent on? Stimulus? Protein? And calories? As long as those are in check you can build muscle. The key with two meals a day is spacing the meals far enough apart where you can consume a significant amount of calories and protein at each meal without it effecting your appetite for the next.
@@NutritionLibrary You can't be working out much with the sound of it, I used to do two meals a day and I was craving protein.
given that i need 3500 calories a day i would end up in severe bloating, pain and food coma if i divided thast into 2 portions. also i found out that miximg too many different foods digests worse so eating only 2 times a day results in very low variety in foods eaten. currently a lot of guys on instagram propagate eating 8 eggs one big avocado 3 ounces cheese and 12!! ounces red meat at once for breakfast but they almost always look like overweight 50 yo inflamed workers from 1920 with hairloss
Excuses your diet sounds bad
The diet you mention sounds like CVD speedrun lol
How about we just eat when we're hungry?
That can lead to overeating. If you’re eating to feel satiety 100% of the time, you can run the risk of consuming too many calories.
that's fat boy logic
So every animal should be fat then.
Too easy nobody can sell that
@@GeorgeKottakis animals are running every single day of their lives, you aren't. That's why a significant amount household pets have diabetes, because intuitive eating doesn't work animals can't even do it without becoming obese and diabetic.
bro you slandered the french language
I really don’t understand why such a smart and developed man tells me he can’t resist napping after a meal. Like bro, that is ur will. If u have things to do - u won’t fall asleep, everyone live like that. That is not a big problem per se, cause I can’t structure my life around whether u can nap and eat or not lmao
Sorry guy but I'm gonna listen to Dr Mike who is jacked telling me to eat 4 meals a day over some dude with no visible delts or traps telling me to eat 2 meals a day great beard notwithstanding
you go, girl..
I saw a video where Dr Mike said you CAN build muscle even with one meal a day tho it’s not the most optimal.
Maybe, just maybe, there’s more to life than being massive… the point in this is optimal brain function during the day not how swollen you can get
you look very sad on the thumbnail
Monks only eat two meals a day
Which is fine as they are mostly sedentary
Why not turn comments off again like a scared little child
I drink my morning coffee with butter and a raw egg yolk, so YOU SHOULD TOO!
American heart association have published a study which says there is 91% higher chances of cardio vascular disease if we do intermittent fasting. Throw some light on this study.
Telling people how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat because it worked for you?
cut the beard dude. doesn't suit you and also you're not taking care of it
No looks fine your opinion
Learn grammar.
For example.
"No, it looks fine. It's your opinion"
Looksmaxing is GAY, beard looks masculine.
@@GM-qi8pw no this is UA-cam I’m not gonna have proper grammar for video also, you just unacknowledged the original comment snake
@@gatesroyale
you don't have to have perfect grammar.
but a least do the bare minimum, to that it is understandable. and so that you don't come off as a 9 year old in the comments.
just like you did here earlier
"No looks fine your opinion"
