I can see why people love Tom. He's relatable. I know he's loaded, but seems very genuine. I can see myself in him. Except im broke.
I hated the gym in the beginning because it was SO hard. But 8 months later (with a trainer), I actually look forward to it now. At 74 (sedentary female) I am building some muscle and have improved from struggling with 5 lbs to now working with 50.
Thank God patience is a virtue and He blesses me with it...
Php_4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Im down a little over 200lbs in the past 3 years. Thanks both of you for all the educational and inspirational videos. Thx for helping save my life.
Love your videos on reddit
starving is not that hard
@@snubdawg1386fasting isn't that hard when you have your life in order and the rest of your health in order.
But starving yourself for a long period of time is really hard when food is the main thing in your life that brings you any happiness. I had excruciating back pain for many years That's when I was gaining most of my weight, It was one of the only things that helped me cope with the spine pain. Thankfully I was able to finally get approved for my spine surgery and it was a success so I don't have that pain anymore.
I've kept the weight off for a few years. But that's a big thanks to my life and health being an order now.
But I just don't think it's accurate to give a blanket statement that starving yourself is easy. If it was, then everyone would.
But it’s not all so good for you doesn’t menstruate anymore. I feel like these people are pushing eating disorders rather than healthy lifestyles.@@snubdawg1386
200lbs? Wow. Congrats my friend. Another person who replied mentioned you have videos. I’ll check them out.
Thomas, I love these long interviews in person with these really interesting guests. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Ask a trauma surgeon about twinkies or diverse diet. The doc guessed my friends died after emergency surgery as lean meats, healthy fats, veggies and no sugar. He saved his guts from colostomy bag but he lost his leg and was in a coma from near death auto accident. That doc looked in my face and said "I can immediately tell someone's diet and health by intestinal texture, smell, color. This guy eats whole food and very little sugar or milk. "
👍
I remember a few years ago when Thomas said Quest bars only initiated a quest for a bathroom, LoL
😂😂
Haha, now we learned in this video that accepting ourselves are wrong is a great step to eternal learning.
Lmao!!
They do for me…too much fiber!
@@TheOnlyStonemasoneat more if them then, lol. Too much fiber can make it harder to pool at a certain point.
Eat a bunch of Chia
Did carnivore fore 4 months and dropped 25 kgs easily . Best thing I have ever done and think I will stick to a 95 % carnivore diet for life .
Just turned 70. WFPB for last 7 years. Healthiest I’ve been ever. 5’6” 110 pounds. Ethically I cannot eat anything with a digestive system.
@@BobbyFischer0000Whole Foods Plant Based
What meat are you normally eating? Tried doing steak and it makes me wanna barf after a couple days of eating it everyday… so I added omelettes and it helped .. so like a limited keto, but I want to try carnivore because it helps autoimmune diseases… but I have an aversion to meat alone on a regular basis lol😅
Just love Tom in his upfront sincere honest speak- Working out , feelin good, lookin & feelin sexy is frippin hard work every day. I’m a 62 yr old regular gal who takes care of her body thru all stages & ages working, motherhood, biz crazy hrs, commutes , life etc ….. Even at the fields with kids for 18 yrs.
I went to games & when they went to practice I went to the fields runnin the fields lifting at the play grounds & jumping rope. Your goals makes your demands. I had a kid @ 40.
at the playground while other moms were sitting .
Feelin good- avoiding the cookie moms sabataging & bunko wine nights excuse for & playground mom/ wine & bookclub wine & cheese…. Every snack room in the elementary school your office etc
Snack & junk food junkies.
You are who you are with. Drink much look at your friends. Eat much look around.
Discipline look at your surroundings.
No judgement here.
Do the best you can for yourself.
The world is full of lustful wanna feel good stuff.
Better to be truthful to yourself - no excuses unless a true disease.
It ain’t easy and pretty impossible to get a 6 pack 1-2 % of real people.
Life is one BIG optical illusion . Face your day, your reality & get to it.
This was a GREAT interview. That guy isn’t stupid and has spent sometime being honest with himself.
This is a very powerful discussion and most of it has very little to do with just fitness. So many gems in here. Thank you guys for this
I just love Tom, he says what he thinks and feels. I'm with him on exercise and diet, but I ain't giving up either. Awesome to have two of my heroes on together ❤
Like a two year old. A highly articulate one.
@@one4320
Elaborate?
He basically embraced pain and struggle to overcome it. And became a strong person for it. Damn impressive.
So he’s claiming that the answer to weight loss is extreme fasting, gym everyday coupled with a high protein low carb low fat diet?
He looks weak and ill
I totally agree with that. I practically feel like he’s promoting an eating disorder. Seems very unhealthy. And This is coming from someone who is an avid runner and have always eaten very clean. There’s a healthy way to live it and then there is borderline anorexia and eating disorder. His wife doesn’t get her period anymore because she’s the same way. It’s been talked about on several podcasts that I listen to.@@rODIUMuk
I would agree that it is so much easier to keep the door completely closed vs. just opening it a crack and taking a nibble.
As someone that lost 140 pounds total and 100 pounds of that in the past 12 months, i think the largest barrier is fear. Fear of the lifestyle change, success or failure. Id say 90% of people know deep down they arent going to follow through when they start. I think a large chunk of that is being self conscious, they don't want to be seen as unhappy with their weight so they mask it with "oh im comfortable" or go to the gym and be the fattest person there. For me personally i look at it with an idgaf attitude and im doing it for me and my longevity. That has helped me tremendously. David goggins 100 mile run story was a massive motivator for me as well, if he could do that, i have no excuses. At the end of the day you have to want it bad enough and each person has a different breaking point
What's worse is that, over time, your mind starts believing "I'm comfortable" and you can no longer trust what you see in the mirror. I've had and still continue to deal with that problem. It's only when I see myself in a photo or a video that I can see how overweight I actually am.
Yes. I always say, “how bad do you want it “
I would say fear, but also lack of experience, knowledge, and scientific faith. I too lost hundreds ob lbs 2-3 times in my life - most people lack the fact that their brain + body will stop craving BS if given a purge from it; even a week of removing BS can allow for hormones and neuroplasticity to evolve into a new habitual experience. This book has been over-promoted, however, Atomic Habits can help others build an environment and mindset to get going.
I struggle with sleep vs exercise. I’m chronically sleep deprived. But I will push myself to do a hit training workout or go running and do some strength training even if it’s 11 PM because I get off work late. But then the next day I see I put on 3 lbs. it’s just so frustrating. Especially as a woman because we have to balance what’s best for our hormone levels. Rest or exercise? Because too much exercise can raise cortisol levels making you fat.
@@HH-gv8mx3lbs of what? Water? Fat? Muscle? The scale only measures weight.
Sleep is necessary for repair and proper function.
He's so damn honest...it's hilarious...he says the stuff that we think, but won't actually admit to....
2 of my top 10 health and fitness gurus in one place! Keep doing what you do. I have to say, conquering insulin resistance was my top health win overall. I became the annoying friend. For something that I didn’t even know existed, it was so impactful on my life. I would never have even known what IR was if it weren’t for UA-cam and studs like yourselves. I have to shout out to Dr. Berg, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Gundry, Dr. Baker, Joe Rogan, Dr. Ken Berry and the list goes on and on. Kudos to you all. I want you guys to know you’ve helped us and we are watching.
Hell yes brother!!
Gundry is a modern P.T. Barnum who mixes science with at least an equal amount of utter BS. The others you cite offer pretty good advice. I would strongly recommend you also can get good advice from Sean O'Mara MD, Zoe Harcombe PhD, Ben Bikman, PhD, Timothy Noakes MD, and Nadir Ali MD.
Same here. I am 30 now, have PCOD since I was 15. Have major depression for the past 2 years and a few months ago I was diagnosed as borderline diabetic. Finally it all made sense. None of my doctors suggested me to change my diet/lifestyle. I was only prescribed spironolactone/ metformin/ oral birth control pills. Now after modifying my diet & starting strength training, I have lost 13 kgs, depression has subsided and random blood sugar tests throughout the day came normal. All thanks to influencers like you. Keep being the bacon for people like us in their journey towards light
I think Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon (she has Dr. Donald Layman (researcher) on her podcast a lot) and Physionic (researcher) are worth being in that list too.
@@rupsamukherjee3679 Congrats...I hope you are extremely proud of yourself, because you deserve it. Keep up with the good work.
Man @ThomasDelauerofficial i would love too see a 3hr debate between you two, Loved the flow of this interview and the way he questioned things you said. one of the best back and forth discussions i have seen in a long time. you have to bring him back
This made so much sense to me. People think I’m crazy when I say I’m fasting and I love feeling hungry because I’m in control and hunger means it’s working. If I were not hungry then that means my body is adjusted and I don’t want that.
When I used to intermittent fast for 16 hours a day…after a few weeks I often didn’t get hungry and somedays wouldn’t remember that I had forgotten to eat until it was nighttime and even though I didn’t feel hungry…it was still working because the weight was falling off. Lost 15 pounds in the first four weeks and I only had to lose 18 pounds to get to goal 😁. So you don’t have to struggle for something to work.
Been watching since 10,000 subscribers. Thomas you helped me navigate nutrition through highschool and college. Thank you for being you and congratulations on getting guests like this 💪
Great motivation! I’ve gotten a bit tired of journaling, trying to lose more weight, gain more muscle, increase energy…everything has stalled! Needed this!
This was a GREAT interview! More please. Love listening to the two of you think out loud.
I love the part about no solutions only tradeoffs. That makes so much sense when you look at things that way. We're always trying to find solutions that make us comfortable. Usually what we really want makes us uncomfortable so we don't do them. Instead of taking the uncomfortable for a bigger payout, we usually choose comfort and limit ourselves from ever getting what we really want. Solutions are limits and trade offs take the limits away.
Great Interview!!! I have a hard timing sticking through long youtube videos but this one grabbed me and kept pulling me in more.
My soul brother, I have found you. This is everything I’ve struggled to explain to myself about my own aversions to the gym and the reasons I push anyway. Thank you, Tom!!
Thousands of videos out there telling us we must do these things and oh this is all you have to do to look this good featuring hot girls. No one is saying it sucks but necessary. I love this realism. I’ve never related to a health video more. It’s not easy for me, it’s not my nature but I know I have to do it. #chooseyourhard
I identify so much with Tom, love hate relationship with the gym and control of mind and body has been addictive. Recently lost control due to making some huge changes and boy did it wreck havoc on me my body & relationships. I needed this reminder as I never want to feel as out of control as I've been feeling lately. Thanks for the interview, prospective, and information.
You are both making such amazing contributions to people’s lives. Fantastic video !! Thank you.
Wonderful Interview Love You Both So Much! Thank You
I've watched both of you on and off, here and there. this one is really interesting. i'm successful in nearly every aspect of my life but my personal health has always been an issue since I graduated college 20 years ago and started my career. Hearing Tom talk about his motivation really clicked for me...I always feel I have something else that's more important to do. but....lots to think about after this.
I was waiting for this interview to happen! A meeting between the Tom’s!! Incredible interview!
This totally helped me understand my love/hate relationship with working out. Thank you! 🙏
Didn't expect this Collab. Love Tom's podcast. Great watch thanks guys
Two of my favorite health gurus having a table discussion! This is AWESOME.
I’ve seen Tom (I mean Tom B, not Thomas D) enough times to know he takes everything to a very extreme level, in every topic. It’s almost OCD. I think he’s a nice guy, and he doesn’t recognize how extreme he is. And he outright says how much he hates it working out. What would happen if he couldn’t see one ab? Tom - We’re only here for so many years. Seriously, lighten up.
You had Tom Bilyeu on your channel 😮 respect!!! You two are my favourite youtube subscriptions respectively. Love this!
Thomas: If you come across my comment, I just truly want to say THANK YOU! It's because of the grace of God leading me to discover your videos a few years back that my health and fitness changed dramatically. I had been on a weight roller coaster my entire life trying almost every diet under the sun. Watching your videos convinced me to try Keto and I'm never looking back. I lost over 110 pounds and I'm now in the best shape of my life. Couldn't have done it without your dedication my friend. God bless you and keep up the good work!
This is the best conversation ever and they are the best in clarifying and motivating us to want to become healthy body and mind
Two of my all time faves on one episode❤❤❤❤❤. Both of you are so honest and so relatable. Thank you both. Major truth sharing Tom: if you can control your body…
This is the kind of perceptual conversation I really enjoy.
The whole part when he talks about “welcoming hunger” is exactly how I managed to have orthorexia for so long. And yes, I was depressed but I lost weight. I felt superior in a way but it was so wrong mentally and physically (lost fat but also lost muscle and bone mass).
I watch both of these channels - awesome that they intersected! 👏
One of your best videos. Great content we all need to hear.
Good interview Thomas! At 66 yrs ,I am still a work in progress. Maintaining willpower has been my lifelong hurdle. If I could stay at my goal weight long enough to discover what foods are optimal for me, that would be an achievement. Keep up the great work, I am paying attention.
Mfer looks like he ate no carbs or fats. Bro lookin STARVED.
We really like Quest bars, but I no longer buy them because they now contain a bioengineered ingredient. Lose the bioengineered ingredient and the sucralose and we'll likely start buying again. Great interview.
I wonder if he eats them himself? And I seriously doubt his wife eats them!
And seed oils…
Dang I just bought my first box to try 😂
You’re a guy. You’ll be fine. I had a roommate about five years ago that used to buy cases of them. I remember trying one of them they taste like dessert to me. She was really into bodybuilding.@@DRJoe100
Not sure what is Thomas on about most of the time, but Tom's replies are masterpieces every single time. Nailed it.👏
This was an amazing “iron-sharpens-iron” discussion. I loved the thought provoking exchange.
Here is what i learned.
1. This was a conversation about nothing.
2. Brilliant people are nuts!
3. Thomas DeLauer’s arms are freaking humongous!!!!
LoL
Thanks...thought it was just me....I just wanted the main points...who has over an hour to waste!!!
Wow- this blew my mind. I could listen to both all day long. If you have recommendations for a 56 year old woman who’s body is broken by life and over weight , now vegan, whose had weight loss surgery to begin??? I love working out but oh dear Lord the burning pain in my muscles is too much to bear. Help . Please 🙏 I think I’m in that overload of info and don’t know where to begin . Tom? Thomas?
10gms of L-glutamine powder added to some tasty bcaa’s mixed in 4 cups of water after ur workout. Weight lifting will help u lose fat more than just cardio so do cardio 15-30min for ur heart then lift weights. Vegan diet doesn’t equate to healthy or weight loss unless maybe only Whole Foods gluten free low glycemic…. Some people do great on the starch solution by mcdougal or 80/10/10 by dr graham…. Other people do better on the following: carnivore diet , clean keto, or dirty keto. Abs are made in the kitchen and the most important foundation. Intermittent fasting helps in conjunction with a healthy diet that works for you. If u have any autoimmune diseases look into mikayla Peterson carnivore, dr ken berry both have videos UA-cam.
This conversation is surprisingly golden.
Sounds very reassuring to hear these two guys discuss the level of will power/focus required to make changes of this magnitude. Thoroughly enjoyable discussion.
Amazing conversation not only about health but about life and how to be successful.
Seeing these two men together talking is AWESOME!!!
I’m such a fan of both 😊
I’m loving this one Thomas! Love this dudes mentality. I need it when I’m trying to get shredded 😂😂. “I’m hungry, I welcome hunger.”
I used that same control method to quit smoking. I went to the bar (people still smoke in bars in Idaho) and I would just be surrounded by people smoking, friends smoking. They all thought I was crazy for putting myself in that environment while trying to quit but it was the only time that I was successful at quitting... It's been 7 years now...
Loved the interview
I love it when two of my favorite UA-camrs hangout like this!
Great video! I admire and respect both of you.👍
I know for myself I’ve been in search of the one right diet since I was 12. I so appreciate your stance on diet tribes and dogma. You’ve helped me break out of that pattern of thinking and I just wanted to say thanks for the content ❤
Damn,…..Tom speaking really hit me! I’m going through everything he said he went through about being in his extreme eating and how he controlled it, but was always hungry! I’m there right now. I’ve lost 22lbs in 35 days by being crazy strict Keto (loads of protein), and only eat in ting 1200-1500 a day. Some days I’m good, but some days it’s been really really brutal. I know that going about this fat loss as I’m doing it is extreme, but my mindset is get it done as fast as possible so I can get my damn life back! 20 more lbs and I’ll be there. I should be at my goal weight by the end of January as long as I keep my brutal eating and continue burning 500-750 calories a day at the gym.
Update: 60 days in the other day and down 35 lbs. it wasn’t easy that’s for sure! Was hungry most days, but stayed true to 1500 calories a day and lots of cardio. Are lots of chicken breast, gave up lots of eggs for just 1 egg and a cup of egg whites.
Wow! I am so happy I listen to this vidéo. It gives me some understanding of what I've been dealing with for 50 years.
I love this convo, tom
keeps it really real and thats what i respect about him.
👍
Omg! It’s like I am hearing my thoughts out loud! I ❤️ control! Wow! Great video! Great motivation believe in yourself! Thank you!!
I love these two guys. Always a force for good, regardless of their camps.
Wow! What a fantastic discussion! It reminds me that the art of discussion used to be taught in schools. Nowadays, it's another missing link in understanding the world and oneself. I really enjoy such reflections and podcasts like this one. Thank you so much for providing the opportunity to listen to the intelligent thoughts of thoughtful, beautiful, rational men. As a woman, I'm just curious about how your wives handle watching such transformations in you. Probably similar to how my husband copes with mine. I'm an experimenter myself, always digging for the truth that suits me. Though I used to suffer from hyper-generalization. It started with proper nutrition, low-fat, super clean, during puberty, which negatively affected my hormonal system. Then came five years of vegetarianism, followed by five years of veganism, then keto, and three years of a carnivore diet. After that, I was too fascinated with intermittent fasting and so on. Now, I've reached a point where I at least hope I can listen to my body. The balance of a mind always seeking something, including adventures, and the wisdom of an obedient body, has been found through a unifying soul. As a result, I've created many courses in Russian on mindful eating, which essentially uncover the pros and cons of each diet, from veganism to carnivore diets. They show people that you can do it this way or that way, or even in a completely different way, but in the end, it's important to find yourself, to listen to your body. Maybe it's time to start translating them into English, as the Russian-speaking audience isn't focused on this right now.
🤘🏼🤩 yeah
I LOVE Tom’s transparency! Huge fan of both of these guys! What great interview!
Two of my favorite UA-camrs hands down! You both have changed my life. 🔥💪💪
This is amazing...thank you!!!
Excellent interview
This is amazing. I am so happy to see these two
Great interview
This was such a great discussion!
Really great interview.
Thomas, This has got to be one of the best interviews I have seen. Not only did you reveal Tom’s deeper thoughts and motivations than he has shared in past interviews, but you showed us aspects of yourself that are spectacular. I’ve always admired your nutritional advise but now I have insight into who you are and I really like you.
I have downloaded this interview from UA-cam into my phone for future viewings.
I love Hate exercise. I started running at 26 and haven’t stopped exercising since ! I’m 72 and going to leave this earth used up happily ⛷️🧘🏻🏋🏼♂️🏊🏼♀️🚴♀️🏌️and race cars 🏎️ zoom zoom
I love Quest peanut butter cookies one and while 😊
Quest protein bars are horrible, try Fit Crunch.
Omg where has this video been allllllll my life. Many many thanks❤
Agree about the no solutions, it’s a push this way vs push that way. No way to really say and that’s that. So I look at thing in ranges vs balance. Get it in the range. Then expect luck, circumstances, quality, and all these other variables to help or hurt that result. Which in turn hard to gauge completely and isolate.
I absolutely love Tom and Lisa. I completely feel Tom, because it is almost excruciating to know every day, for the rest of your life, you have to work out.
Thomas you are looking really good and healthy in this video 💪
GREAT SHOW
I loved watching Tom in The Sandlot, crazy how far he's come. ❤
Wow 😮this show is so fuckin !!! Thought provoking to me. Game changer big time 👍 I thank not only these guys but the whole team these guys make me feel it’s not just them even if it’s both talking feels like a community ❤also you break things or explain important information that I could understand even with Thomas big words 💪🏼 Thank you 🙏 ❤
Great interview. I would like to see Thomas interview Dr. Eric Westman. It would be interesting to see them talk about keto from two different perspectives.
Quest bar buyer here 🙋♂️
And as a regular buyer I'd kindly like to request more flavors.
But i love these bars with coffee ☕️ in the mornings.
I believe they sold Quest to another company years ago. They re-formulated the bars.
Crap foods.. Eat fruits, add pure cocoa in a banana shake but seriously quit all these junk bars..
I would definitely tune in to a show that tests twins as long as there are two sets of twins. Male and female so there's no debate on that, as men and women are different. You totally need to do this @Tom Bilyeu. I would love to see this! Thank you for a great video and conversation!
I'd love to watch this!
Tim seater did it with twins of all types and sexes
Specter
This is a great interview. And to hack both of your minds.
Thanks!
I just at a quest bar!!! I am very fit now and it feels like the rest of my life is thriving. Thomas has helped me a lot over the years ❤❤❤❤. I too lost 50-60 in my twenties and have kept it of and can relate.
This video is speaking to me in DROVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I experience all of this and have honestly been apprehensive to share any of it.
my favorite guys thanks for the conversation you both have helped me loose 150 pounds
Amazing interview Thomas, chock full of truth "nuggets", pardon the pun 🤔🤗 Most impactful video of yours that I've watched 👏👏
It's nice to see guys have such multi facited conversation. Especially considering you have a similar history. Bileyu is a little harder around the edges than you, but you guys balanced your conversation well. ❤
I personally hate working out at my older years but dancing really helps me feel I’ve worked out!
This was a great interview a thought came to my mind is why do people fail at eating healthy,working out,and doing something for a living that they feel better about? I think it’s a good subject to fully investigate don’t you? Thanks to both of you for this!👍
Because they are scared to reset their life and starting on insecure grounds. Quitting your job and being jobless takes balls and courage because you know friends and ex collegues will look down on you. To create new healthy routines and resist your old habits is almost imposible if you live a stressful life with full time job.
Fascinating points about the “dark energy” of feeling superior/super-human. Reminds me of discussions by ancient Christian ascetics about the temptation to “spiritual pride” that often afflicted advanced practitioners of the monastic life.
I'm glad that at least your're discussing the unhealthy behaviors and mental aspects of this. (This = doing everything and anything to lose weight.) At the heart of all of this is an extremely unhealthy relationship with food and unhealthy body image. I really like the discussion of not trusting one's emotions -- however -- there are a lot of areas where one absolutely should trust their emotions -- and they don't at their peril. (Domestic violence situations, starting to date someone, seeing red flags and tamping those feelings down, for example.)
Good insights 👏
Amazing video, one of my fav.
Loads of comments mention quest bars, never heard of them. Are they available in Europe?
I guess most folk think that if it's nicely packaged, well presented, well formulated priced right it's something you should eat.
If it's made by those in white coats then prepare to be treated by those in white coats, worse... those in blue theatre scrubs.
Thank you for uploading and sharing.
My elderly mom was a type 2 diabetic for 12 years and switched to an exclusively plant-based diet (a version of nutritarian). Her recent A1C was 4.7% and her hs-CRP was 0.4 mg/L which is the inflammation of a typical teenager. According to the Levine Biological Age Calculator (Yale) based on bloodwork tests, she has aged minus 18 years (biological age) during the last 4 years. Serious question: can anyone beat that result? I am willing to learn.
I have the same metrics and I've been meat based for 4 years. I don't know about the Levine calculator and I was never a type 2 diabetic.
If you gleaned anything from this discussion, it's that bio-individuality matters.
The one thing we do agree on that everyone can do is measure their blood glucose and eat foods that keep it in check.
