Bryan said that you should aim at basics, like sleep, fitness and healthy diet. And it will give 90% of his results, everything else is just an icing on the cake. His message is not about obsessing over a little things but about putting attention to your health and wellness, which many people dont.
I agree with this overall and hence why I say there are some really strong points in the Blueprint protocol. The parts I don't agree with are the extra 10% because it's almost all speculation (which is fine) but he often does promote the overall protocol as proven to be way. In general if people can follow the proven parts in his plan they'll do very well, however, I've had so many consults with people who read/watch his stuff thinking they need lots of various tests/protocols and that concerns me.
@AdamMc192 I think you missed the point dude. If you actually look at the research on what he's saying it's not going to cost you $2 million dollars. That amount of money comes in because of the Staffing that he has all the equipment things of that nature what he's giving to everyone for free or the principal's recipes and what he follows and he's sharing the data with you so you can make your best judgment. So I don't really think a lot of what you're saying applies
It's psychologically healthy to only eat foods that are healthy. Bryan's goal is to live as long as possible by optimizing every biomarker he possibly can. He tells people to take his protocol with a grain of salt and tailor it to their own needs.
The problem is it is impossible to determine what is healthy and unhealthy outside of the very obvious. Some people think dairy is healthy, others don't. Obsession with eating "clean" is a psychological condition. I didn't make that up.
He uses the biomarkers (scientific measurments) as a metric of what is healthy or not. By benchmarking his personal metrics against the average metrics of various age groups he's able to adjust his lifestyle factors in a way that bring his personal biomarkers within the range of those same biomarkers measured in younger and healthier people. Since those biomarkers are strongly correlated with age, his blueprint is his personal protocol to reverse his rate of aging. Personally, I take all 60+ of the supplements from his blueprint protocol. But I follow my own diet and excercise program. It's easy to implement. @@AdamMc192
By definition a healthy diet supports a healthy gut microbiome and that supports a strong gut-brain connection, which promotes good emotions. You don't need to eat addictive substances to feel satisfaction from eating. Andrew huberman has an episode where he describes the various neurons the line the inside of the small and large intestine. Those "food sensors" can be made to feel happy by eating high fat foods, high sugar foods, or high carb foods. In Bryan Johnson's protcol his "nutty pudding" is very high fat, and he adds EVOO to every meal. @@ShaggyRodgers420
great info, been following bryan johnson's journey for a bit now and mostly just find him entertaining and motivating, but the takeaways you mentioned are spot on
each type of vegetable has different nutrients as you are aware of, but they also contain different amounts of those certain nutrients. even though it appears he is just eating alot of greens, its actually a meticulous combination of high density nutrient vegetables that will provide the body with its daily values as each calorie needs to fight for its place. intermittent fasting seems to allow the body to clean the waste that would usually accumulate. you are correct that his hours may seem extreme as to when he eats, but he has measurable results that is hard to argue. i would suggest you do blueprint for 30 days and tell us the results. that would make this much more convincing as you tell us how your body has improved or deteriorated.
It’s a $2M/yr cost so of course what he is doing is extreme and no one will be able to do what he is doing. However, I am sure there are things that can be learned from the data he collects and shares.
This is a misconception. You can eat everything he does for $1000-$1500 per month. The millions of dollars in costs, come from paying for his team of scientists and doctors, and all the testing and scanning equipment that he has. It's the testing and experimenting that costs the money.
He knows that being in a low calorie or calorie restricted diest reduces your testosterone, so he takes a testosterone patch or something like that which brings his levels to normal. Also he never claimed that fasting is beneficial, instead he also says that there's not enough evidence that fasting is better than normal eating, he just does it because it helps him sleep better.
I am one of the implementers of the protocol in my own way, I got down to my ideal weight in a short time, I stop eating as early as possible, I give great importance to my sleep, I do weight and cardio exercises every day, I avoid sunlight, I eat mushrooms and vegetables. I look at overweight or aging people with sadness. The protocol has helped me a lot.
Well, if you are not addicted to food, specially the bad type, then of course “prioritizing health” isn’t hard. Most people are addicted to bad food, that’s the main issue here.
caloric restriction doesnt mean caloric deficit. he eats less calories than a male with his stats would. and over time his body adapts to it. the same adaptation happens when people are dieting, thats why we always keep reducing the calories when we get stuck..
I have over 20 years of experience in the training realm, as well as multiple degrees. In regard to the "10% deficit" argument, I've found that the overall calories consumed will actually vary about +10/-10%, even when every food is measured on a scale. The reason for this is simple...natural whole foods differ in their composition and calories. Foods can actually legally have a very large difference in calories vs the nutrition label. Thus, very small "deficits" can actually keep people at actual maintenance calories better than aiming for the actual maintenance number. It's a small effect, but overall the long term, this can keep weight more stable. However, I may be biased...he spells his name the same way that I do. Got a soft spot for my fellow Bryans.
I understand the research that you stated. In regards to calorie intake less is more in a sense to losing weight. I think Brian Johnson is trying to regulate his circadian rhythm by not eating at a certain time so that he maximizes his sleep. I think his intermittent fasting is more focused on regenerating the body through sleep. But I could be wrong.
You are right on the money about fasting because intermittent fasting is just the same as Calorie restriction. Also the main message from Bryan Johnson is Don’t Die which means he is on some spectrum and thinks he can achieve immortality. Can you check Julie Gibson Clark Rejuvenation Olympics. Thanks.
I found myself on my own around new years, so I was able to give the fast thing a go for about 10 days. I finished all my food before 1pm. In bed by 10pm. BEST. SLEEPS. OF. MY. LIFE. Now I'm back home it's a bit impractical to do that because I want to eat with my partner. But from my VERY short trial, I can see the benefit, especially if sleep is one of the most important aspects of longevity.
Bryan has said multiple times that his way of eating is only one way to achieve the goal. Not the definitive or best version. It is simply one way to get there. So that last bit is not correct. 9:30.
what are your top supplements for men for overall maximization of cognitive function, muscle and other bodily functions? do you have a list of the absolute must haves? i know probiotics, digestive enzymes, electrolytes are scams so what is it that works? thanks
Hi Adam, sorry totally off-topic question but can you share the hair product you're using? If have the same hair style but I'm failing to find a proper styling cream that gives this exact result, it's either too firm and greasy or too loose and the lock ends up fluffy later on.
I see a big difference in weight loss and general well being when I fast without caloric restriction. Being insulin resistant, calorie restriction never really helped, unless it was low carb
You cannot lose weight (other than water) in the absence of a caloric restriction. If you don't eat on certain days then you are in a huge deficit on those days. I am glad you found an approach that works for you.
Just found your channel - great video subbed. Really loved that you mentioned the importance of psychological well-being wasn't obvious to me at first.
Because of the caloric deficit Bryan uses a patch for TRT and he also fast for 18 hours every day, which also boost several hormones like growth hormone.
To add to the excellent points made in the video, quite a few of the supplements that Bryan is consuming such as metformin may/may not have any health benefits to offer and arguably the long-term or individualistic side-effects are unknown at this time. Not to mention the cost associated to procure a tenth of all the supplements will set you back aplenty every month - there's no guideline on how to tailor the blueprint to your budget/individual needs.
It's been seen that restricting calories in the evening will increase sleep scores, specificly deep sleep. This has been seen with oura ring, whoop bands and smart watches like apple alike. Lower heartrate is very beneficial for sleep. You don't want to be digesting food before sleep and especially not alcohol. More fasting and longer fasting windows leads to more autophagy and mitophagy. Both are very beneficial for health and longevity. Restricting eating to a smaller window will automaticly put you into a slight caloric restriction. Without you even noticing it. Bryan his data speaks for itself. Obviously, it works. But I do believe it's not the pills. Just less stress and clean healthy living with exercise. Meaning the best things for health are basicly for free.
I don't disagree with your first part, and hence why in the video I do mention the potential impacts of eating late at night. As far as autophagy via calorie restriction been shown to increase lifespan in rodents and (some) monkeys, sure, humans, no. So to say they are very beneficial is really just an opinion. It it completely BS, probably not and I hope I do make that clear in the video, but it's just speculation right now. Here's a good article with the human research listed and explained if you are interested. sigmanutrition.com/fasting-longevity/
@@AdamMc192 A LOT of medical science is not proven/tested at a high level. There is always an element of applying good judgement and common sense when it comes to diet and exercise. Even if we don't have high quality research on the effects of autophagy on humans, it's not unreasonable to think that it likely has atleast some benefits. There are countless examples of people improving their biomarkers such as blood sugar, blood pressure and cholestrol through intermittent fasting. Even if it's not rigorously proven yet, at the very least, it's unlikely to be harmful, so worth a try. Bryan never said it's proven science, he acknowledges that much of what he's testing is experimental.
I’m confused by the part where you said if he was in an ongoing deficit he’d starve to death. I don’t think he means he’s continually burning more than he consumes, I think it’s that he eats 90% of his estimated baseline as measured at the start of the protocol and then his body adapted to the lower intake, like if you went from 2500 per day to 2250 you’re not going to end up starving to death. This approach has been show in mice to increase life span by around 30%; the mice did not starve to death by the researchers giving them less food, they adapted & liver longer.
Agreed. I’m 5’ 10” and 162 pounds. I eat about 2200 calories a day but I’m active. I can’t gain weight but don’t lose weight and every site I see for my activity I should be at 2400 calories and I am vegan.
Man I love your videos I’m in college to be a nutritionist and strive to be as informed as you, you’re an inspiration. Is there any advice you have for looking into a specific field in nutrition for someone who likes to workout and do sports?
Please keep going and produce more content this is fantastic....truth matters....also if possible pls try snd go thru his supplements or supplements In general to show what works ...thanks
I've been using his diet as a point of analysis. Starting the day with yogurt, berries, and nuts, as a default seems quite nice (inspired by nutty pudding, and avoiding gluten). He has also inspired me to have a veg loaded lunch, so a stir fry, or soup. The evening meal remains as it always has, with a focus on family & enjoyment. Going through his supplements is interesting, some are prescription drugs, and many of them are aimed at the vegan diet. It's also worth noting his blueprint is built off constant measurement of himself, that is, it really suits him more than anyone. People who follow him should work out that it can't be copied 1-for-1 for themselves, yet it seems many miss this point, despite that they are acolytes.
I'm type 1 diabetic, I noticed that high intensity exercise brings my blood glucose up while low intensity exercise brings it down. Also, i notice that even though a Banana and chocolate bar both have 30g carb each yhe Banana brings my blood glucose up more by 100
Hey Adam, what do you think of OMAD (one meal of day) & the caloric restriction (most of the time 10-30% deficit) in that diet that has worked for many people and didn't result in organ failure or any negative effects except short term discomfort? Wouldn't Bryan sort of fall into that category?
@@lorcansnow2111 I watched it again and yeah you’re right about him saying it’s not a “deficit” in the context of metabolic adaptation. But then he goes on to say that he wouldn’t recommend staying at a 1600 calorie deficit. So my question still stands, people on OMAD seem to be doing well?
Great video. For caloric restriction, it should be considered "energy deficit" based on CRON or calorie restriction with optimal nutrition. It is a theoretical 10% restriction, since as you said, there is no energy deficit but rather metabolic adaptation. The 10% restriction is theoretical based on what it would be if there weren't the metabolic adaptation. While the diet is overall very good, it still has notable gaps. It lacks a bioavailable form of calcium, heme iron, a source of carnitine, DHA, retinol (essential for iodine absorption, with beta carotene conversion insufficient for 40% of the population due to the BCMO1 gene), and C15:0, which is critical for cell wall integrity and only available in dairy, fish, or vegan supplement form. He may also be risking a copper imbalance with the high daily zinc supplementation of 15 mg, though the inclusion of beans and cocoa may help mitigate this risk. Additionally, his uric acid levels are significantly out of range (too low), likely due to insufficient purines in the diet.
I appreciate your breakdown of the protocol and agree if feels too restrictive for most to succeed. I’m wondering about your comment on willing to take the risks of eating red meat and getting colorectal cancer. If you get it do you think you’ll regret your choices? My whole immediate family has either died from cancer or is battling stage four cancer and seeing the suffering makes nothing worth the risk.
Sorry to hear that, ultimately 1 in 3 or so will get cancer, age being the biggest factor. But cancer isn’t just one disease, there’s many of them. I do keep my processed meat consumption down but I am willing to trade off the small marginal risk given I keep an otherwise very healthy lifestyle.
Bryan is coming out with a Super Veggie Ready to Mix Spread which is "Equal to 3.4 cups of fresh vegetables per serving". Seems kinda sheisty like why would he tell people to eat organic and unprocessed food and then come out with a vegetable equivalent? Can vegetable equivalents give you all the same benefits that vegetables can?
Currently struggling with higher blood sugar and my fasting blood sugar is nearly 120 some days. I'm not currently on any diet restrictions, but I try to eat clean ish. When I consume mostly eggs, cheese, beef, fish and vegetables, my blood sugar levels are lowest, my blood pressure lowers, and my cholesterol levels are not high when doing blood work. Is the risk of a diet high in beef consumption significant ? I don't know why grains and fruits shove my blood sugar levels so high but they do. Chicken is not easy on my stomach either. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts! Awesome video though!
@@mckayzabriskie if you have pre-diabetes the #1 thing you should focus on is losing weight in a sustainable manor. Everything else is of secondary importance
nice breakdown, after finding BJ started exercising and based on his blueprint kinda broke down what worked for me even nowadays still trying to find the right way but i do eat everything, the idea that you should just get veggies seems to me that you would end up lacking something somewhere not to mention, some veggies are oddly specific or expensive vs meat or eggs or fish, and so cost is also a factor. Did cut sugars almost from my life, haven't drank soda in years, no cakes, do eat chocolate but thats it. i started doing supplements back during covid to get that extra D3+K2 and a multi, still doing it nowadays, and as far as this part goes it might make some sense to get some supplements from what you can not get or as often, although if you can get it from fruits/veggies/eggs/meat/fish and its "cheap" usually a better option.
He explicitly says that his way of eating is a, not THE, way of approximating optimal nutrition. Kinda mischaracterizing him there, but I‘ve also always wondered about his crazy low calorie intake
I am not clear on what you mean there in the first sentence? If you are saying he says it's not the ONLY way to eat well, I would agree. However, his actions don't really align with that. He's said on a number of occasions this is the way to achieve the outer frontier of health, he also publically tals about how he wants to make / is making blueprint available to others.. And also started to sell some of his meals in supplement form. It's clear he's trying to position is as the "right way". You only have to look at UA-cam to see that people are trying to copy his exact protocol.
Hi! Thank you for the video! The only thing which caught my attention (because I already eat healthy-ish) from his diet is chlorella. I looked it up and it seems like it is a very powerful superfood. I have some joint problems and I thought I might give it a try, or is it no better (powerful) than a regular fish oil in terms of managing chronic inflammation? What do you think about it?
He's still getting older. Those epigenetic clocks need to be taken with a massive grain of salt. There's no evidence they correlate with living longer.
Dude doesn't look like he's aging well at all. He's 5 years younger than me and looks like Lestat from interview From a Vampire. Way to piss 2 mill a year down the drain
@@carvedouttastonestill you need to take into account that he didn't start out healthy and just wanted to be even healthier: "He says he fell into a deep depression in 2004 and stayed there for 10 years. He was overwhelmed by building his company while raising three young children. Medication and therapy didn’t help. He was 50 pounds overweight and miserable, he says."
Besides the fact there's no such thing as a carnivore diet for humans, just shows you how ignorant these fake nutrition gurus pushing expensive fad diets are - it's a NECROVORE diet they are peddling. Just helping to give Big Pharma a boost when the results of eating like this kick in a decade or two.
Lean meats are better, less saturated fat. Red meat, even when lean still contains heme iron, which is believed to be one of the causes of the negative health risk increase.
I know you were thinking about talking about his 100 pills a day regime, but he actually just released two new products with one of them purporting to contain those 100 pills. Would love to see them dissected!
Hey, ive been loving the videos. Just a suggestion, but I would love to hear your thoughts on x-endurance. When I first started seeing their advertisements I just assumed they were looking to make a few dollars off of insecure athletes as the supplement industry often does, but I have since found out that they are supported by some pretty big athletes such as craig engels and donavan brazier. Is this a legitimate product? All that aside, keep up the great content.
I'm a 6-ft male and the lowest weight that I would consider safe would be 70 kilograms I'm currently 85 kg and I'm going to take myself down to 70 to burn out all the rubbish and probably long term fluctuate between 75 and 80, my preference is to be lean.... The diet was designed by Dr Oliver it would be interesting if you could have a debate with him he specialises in regenerative medicine it's all about measuring the data
When talking about increased risk of cancer in red meat, we have to think about the quality of the meat. Did the studies cover grass fed meat vs store bought (fed with grains/antibiotics etc)?
There's no difference in the quality of the meat whether grass fed or not. They all went through the same torture with no anesthetics or pain relief. They are all electrically tortured to get onto the trucks and into the slaughterhouse. There's no magical vet waiting to put them down, they are all traumatized and terrified, with cortisol and adrenaline hormones coursing through their bodies. Their death is not humane and absolutely merciless. Don't fool yourself that being grass fed mitigates any of this.Visit the farms and slaughterhouses, not just the pretty pretty they want you to see. You probably won't be allowed to see what happens out of the public eye. Imagine withholding antibiotics from an animal when they are sick and need them?
What Brian has done is absolutely amazing .he put together a blueprint for people to follow even though he didn’t have to. He even understand that this blueprint doesn’t work for everybody and it’s not just about losing weight which I feel like this video is focused on. It’s about looking at your health from your perspective of longevity. So minimizing the food intake is great because you’re minimizing free radicals and damage from free radicals as well and then of course there’s a lot of lifestyle adjustments. My only problem is that channels like this take away from the full picture of what Bryan is offering the world. That’s like reading an entire book and picking it part a chapter. People criticize him as if there was anybody out there doing what this guy is doing.
@@drewfowler2928 minimising food intake to minimise free radicals? I think it’s a bit reductionist. Eating less is only beneficial if it allows you to reach a healthier body weight. There’s no human evidence to suggest otherwise. What is the big picture Bryan is trying to offer? Why doesn’t he just focus on that rather than the 1% of trivial stuff including his supplements?
No but looking it up it doesn’t appear to be a condition but rather a structure used in diagnosis of certain allergies. I don’t see anything that would suggest someone is intolerant to all fruit and vegetables
Reading between the lines (based on Bryan’s interviews and website), it seems he was a binge eater when his depression was at its worst. I’m wondering if he’s now swung in the other direction and is using a very restrictive diet, like orthorexia, as a means of managing his mental health? Although, I suppose for someone who is using themselves as an ongoing clinical study, he probably needs to keep his diet restricted as a control measure.
The calorie thing can actually be true when u normally need x amount of calories to get all the nutrients you need, but since he optimises so much, he is actually able to achieve that with 10% less calorie intake. It is also a matter of how well your body converts nutrients into body mass or energy. I mean some people with exactly the same body in terms of weight & height could eat different amount of calories since having a different metabolism. Imagine the guy who needs to eat more changes his diet to make his calories have more nutrients then before, which could makes his metabolism more efficient, which leads to him needing to eat less to get the same amount of nutrients. So he is not taking 10% less then he need, but he now needs 10% less then before to hold his weight. Corecct me if I am spitting nonsense
Really well done video! But you gotta source correctly my dude. At 9:25 it should be Dr. Rohin Francis // Med-life crisis lmao. I´m a big fan of his, thats why i noticed immediately lmao
5:41 - Did you do any further research on that aside from just reading the one summary? There's no definitive evidence that red meat will cause cancer because it's mostly observational studies from this meta analysis. Eating a McDonald's cheese burger is much different than a home cooked steak with no canola oils. Lots of these studies even say that further research is needed.
@@AdamMc192thats not what you mention here, training, kardio sleep and food i have figured out, now its about the next steps we can take. its not about living a healthy lifestyle until you are 70-80, his program is about MAXIMIZING the healthy time span to the best of the knowledge thats currently available, ofc its not for average joe and you are right for the majority of the ppl watching this vid, but to devalue brians work and the findings is just having a contrary opinion and using his name to receive viral success
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
Everything I’ve seen is him saying he’s on a constantly calorie restricted diet, not a constant calorie deficit. Maybe he said he was on a constant calorie deficit in his older videos.
David Sinclair proved that resveratrol is benefitial. An interesting story actually how his achievement got discredited at first and how he saved his career by proving it all over again.
No he didn’t, his company was sold to GSK and they completely dropped the product after trying to replicate the findings, it was a major loss for them.
There is no such thing as a carnivore diet for humans, it's just fake nutrition gurus peddling expensive fad diets, that will probably see you supporting Big Pharma in a decade or 2. They are so ignorant they don't even know they are pushing a NECROVORE diet. A whole food plant based diet has been tried and tested for years, and will probably give you better results. Follow Great Vegan Athletes for ideas.
There is no research but what i can say for sure, that political inmates in eastern Europe had reached (if not killed other ways) ages over 90. Strange isn't it? And i'm absolute sure that detention conditions were bit different then western ones. :)
The claim that a 10% deficit in caloric intake, which is roughly a reduction of 200 calories is going to result in starvation and or Death is wrong and obviously so
So when he says calorie deficit he means from his target calculated calories so this is already bs. Also fasting he says dont fast if you dont feel like it the other thing you talk about him saying its the best way he literally says not the best way for most people but he says learn small parts from what he does he posts he changes and measurements what he says when he says health is hard he means going to the extremes of trying to increase length of life to beyond 120 etc is hard and thats true
@@AdamMc192 calorie is a measurement of heat and deficit means to make something too small it is literally saying to make energy to small not sure how you got exact calories being our foods do not get measured calorie to calorie like when you look at bags of chips they all have the same calorie count but they can and do have very different amounts of chips same thing goes with grapes apples etc when ever people are talking about calories unless they are using exact to mm sizing they are talking about general calorie target you don't eat 400 calories exact in a block of chocolate you eat around 400
Why are so many UA-camrs so quick to bash Bryan Johnson? The guy is literally experimenting and dedicating his life to understanding how the human body works to create a blueprint for better health. He’s motivating people to take their health seriously and think about what they’re putting into their bodies. If you’re just using his name for clicks, maybe focus on celebrities promoting harmful products instead-because at least Bryan is trying to make a positive difference.
Not going to lie, perhaps it does help longevity but I have thought that his hair seems quite thin for someone supposeldly so healthy. That caloric defect is probably not helping the hormone production
Thanks for highlighting this! It's ridiculous that Bryan thinks he is healthy when he needs to supplement testosterone. His body is shutting down important basic hormonal functions. I don't know why his team of doctors can't tell him this basic physiological reality.
I think he is just trying to optimise numbers rather than the actual functioning of his body naturally. Is considered optimal human health if you are required to take medications as a result of your actions, I don't know. It could be argued either way.
It’s not true because your body always finds a way to cope with that deficit… after a year or so u stop losing weight or it happens very, very slow… u might stop to blink a lot n get rid of bigger movements in your day (without including exercise, just in the things u r going to do, maybe your nails doesn’t grow that thick, your healing processes get slower depending on the deficit u r in… so no he won’t starve… everything is just becoming a bit slower to save energy… ❤
Bro ive had your opinion about Brian too and the initial $2 million dollar comment. The guy so not trying to live forever, clearly. He is just documenting with proof his results in different areas of his body...if you can present the same data then cool... but you can't just open up with unsubstantiated notions from the get go.
Health care costs are out of control. Going WFPB vegan can save money, pain and suffering from disease. Lower your chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer by going vegan. Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices, stress reduction, improving sleep and daily exercise.
I'm not happy with hospital food but sometimes when someone is at a certain point, it is more important to get them to eat anything they can so they have enough calories to get through treatment. Someone who is weak isnt going to be able to munch and digest lots of fiber and probably won't have the appetite for it either. But yeah the time to teach healthy must begin much earlier in school
Oh and, I’m also wanting to become a nutritionist starting on my associates next month, do you have any advice? I love nutrition and fitness science it’s just so cool 😊
I personally went to university to do a post graduate degree and then specialised with another masters degree. You could check out Mac Nutrition or Precision Nutrition, both done online, I've done the latter. Good Luck

By definition a healthy diet supports a healthy gut microbiome and that supports a strong gut-brain connection, which promotes good emotions. You don't need to eat addictive substances to feel satisfaction from eating. Andrew huberman has an episode where he describes the various neurons the line the inside of the small and large intestine. Those "food sensors" can be made to feel happy by eating high fat foods, high sugar foods, or high carb foods. In Bryan Johnson's protcol his "nutty pudding" is very high fat, and he adds EVOO to every meal. @@ShaggyRodgers420
Don't even see him use a sea salt - he is propaganda
As someone who is interested in diets since 50 years and having seen a lot of trends come and go, I appreciate your balanced, pragmatic approach.
I understand that you mentioned resveratrol is proven to be useless. Could you please refer me to the study you mentioned? I can't seem to find it.
great info, been following bryan johnson's journey for a bit now and mostly just find him entertaining and motivating, but the takeaways you mentioned are spot on
Thanks for your input! I also find his journey very interesting
each type of vegetable has different nutrients as you are aware of, but they also contain different amounts of those certain nutrients. even though it appears he is just eating alot of greens, its actually a meticulous combination of high density nutrient vegetables that will provide the body with its daily values as each calorie needs to fight for its place. intermittent fasting seems to allow the body to clean the waste that would usually accumulate. you are correct that his hours may seem extreme as to when he eats, but he has measurable results that is hard to argue. i would suggest you do blueprint for 30 days and tell us the results. that would make this much more convincing as you tell us how your body has improved or deteriorated.
Beautifully said
It’s a $2M/yr cost so of course what he is doing is extreme and no one will be able to do what he is doing. However, I am sure there are things that can be learned from the data he collects and shares.
This is a misconception. You can eat everything he does for $1000-$1500 per month. The millions of dollars in costs, come from paying for his team of scientists and doctors, and all the testing and scanning equipment that he has. It's the testing and experimenting that costs the money.
He knows that being in a low calorie or calorie restricted diest reduces your testosterone, so he takes a testosterone patch or something like that which brings his levels to normal. Also he never claimed that fasting is beneficial, instead he also says that there's not enough evidence that fasting is better than normal eating, he just does it because it helps him sleep better.
I am one of the implementers of the protocol in my own way, I got down to my ideal weight in a short time, I stop eating as early as possible, I give great importance to my sleep, I do weight and cardio exercises every day, I avoid sunlight, I eat mushrooms and vegetables. I look at overweight or aging people with sadness. The protocol has helped me a lot.
Well, if you are not addicted to food, specially the bad type, then of course “prioritizing health” isn’t hard. Most people are addicted to bad food, that’s the main issue here.
caloric restriction doesnt mean caloric deficit. he eats less calories than a male with his stats would. and over time his body adapts to it. the same adaptation happens when people are dieting, thats why we always keep reducing the calories when we get stuck..
Thanks for another video! I really enjoy your video format and your sensible analysis of other’s diets + products.
Glad you like them! Appreciate your feedback
I have over 20 years of experience in the training realm, as well as multiple degrees. In regard to the "10% deficit" argument, I've found that the overall calories consumed will actually vary about +10/-10%, even when every food is measured on a scale. The reason for this is simple...natural whole foods differ in their composition and calories. Foods can actually legally have a very large difference in calories vs the nutrition label.
Thus, very small "deficits" can actually keep people at actual maintenance calories better than aiming for the actual maintenance number. It's a small effect, but overall the long term, this can keep weight more stable.
However, I may be biased...he spells his name the same way that I do. Got a soft spot for my fellow Bryans.
I understand the research that you stated. In regards to calorie intake less is more in a sense to losing weight. I think Brian Johnson is trying to regulate his circadian rhythm by not eating at a certain time so that he maximizes his sleep. I think his intermittent fasting is more focused on regenerating the body through sleep. But I could be wrong.
You are right on the money about fasting because intermittent fasting is just the same as Calorie restriction. Also the main message from Bryan Johnson is Don’t Die which means he is on some spectrum and thinks he can achieve immortality. Can you check Julie Gibson Clark Rejuvenation Olympics. Thanks.
Will look into it
You don't understand what he means by "don't die" and took it too literally.
I found myself on my own around new years, so I was able to give the fast thing a go for about 10 days. I finished all my food before 1pm. In bed by 10pm.
BEST. SLEEPS. OF. MY. LIFE.
Now I'm back home it's a bit impractical to do that because I want to eat with my partner. But from my VERY short trial, I can see the benefit, especially if sleep is one of the most important aspects of longevity.
Thank you. Really great video. There's a lot of information out there and it can be a little overwhelming at times.
Glad it was helpful!
How do I use blueprint to gain weight and muscle?
Eat more food
Is Urolithin A covered in this video?
Bryan has said multiple times that his way of eating is only one way to achieve the goal. Not the definitive or best version. It is simply one way to get there. So that last bit is not correct. 9:30.
what are your top supplements for men for overall maximization of cognitive function, muscle and other bodily functions? do you have a list of the absolute must haves? i know probiotics, digestive enzymes, electrolytes are scams so what is it that works? thanks
Creatine, proteins, bcaa. Amen
Hi Adam, sorry totally off-topic question but can you share the hair product you're using? If have the same hair style but I'm failing to find a proper styling cream that gives this exact result, it's either too firm and greasy or too loose and the lock ends up fluffy later on.
Something like American Crew cream
I see a big difference in weight loss and general well being when I fast without caloric restriction. Being insulin resistant, calorie restriction never really helped, unless it was low carb
You cannot lose weight (other than water) in the absence of a caloric restriction. If you don't eat on certain days then you are in a huge deficit on those days. I am glad you found an approach that works for you.
Just found your channel - great video subbed. Really loved that you mentioned the importance of psychological well-being wasn't obvious to me at first.
thank you
Because of the caloric deficit Bryan uses a patch for TRT and he also fast for 18 hours every day, which also boost several hormones like growth hormone.
To add to the excellent points made in the video, quite a few of the supplements that Bryan is consuming such as metformin may/may not have any health benefits to offer and arguably the long-term or individualistic side-effects are unknown at this time. Not to mention the cost associated to procure a tenth of all the supplements will set you back aplenty every month - there's no guideline on how to tailor the blueprint to your budget/individual needs.
It's been seen that restricting calories in the evening will increase sleep scores, specificly deep sleep. This has been seen with oura ring, whoop bands and smart watches like apple alike. Lower heartrate is very beneficial for sleep. You don't want to be digesting food before sleep and especially not alcohol. More fasting and longer fasting windows leads to more autophagy and mitophagy. Both are very beneficial for health and longevity. Restricting eating to a smaller window will automaticly put you into a slight caloric restriction. Without you even noticing it. Bryan his data speaks for itself. Obviously, it works. But I do believe it's not the pills. Just less stress and clean healthy living with exercise. Meaning the best things for health are basicly for free.
I don't disagree with your first part, and hence why in the video I do mention the potential impacts of eating late at night. As far as autophagy via calorie restriction been shown to increase lifespan in rodents and (some) monkeys, sure, humans, no. So to say they are very beneficial is really just an opinion. It it completely BS, probably not and I hope I do make that clear in the video, but it's just speculation right now.
Here's a good article with the human research listed and explained if you are interested.
sigmanutrition.com/fasting-longevity/
@@AdamMc192 Of course it's speculation, most of what he does is speculation, he never claims anything different.
@@AdamMc192 A LOT of medical science is not proven/tested at a high level. There is always an element of applying good judgement and common sense when it comes to diet and exercise. Even if we don't have high quality research on the effects of autophagy on humans, it's not unreasonable to think that it likely has atleast some benefits. There are countless examples of people improving their biomarkers such as blood sugar, blood pressure and cholestrol through intermittent fasting. Even if it's not rigorously proven yet, at the very least, it's unlikely to be harmful, so worth a try. Bryan never said it's proven science, he acknowledges that much of what he's testing is experimental.
I’m confused by the part where you said if he was in an ongoing deficit he’d starve to death. I don’t think he means he’s continually burning more than he consumes, I think it’s that he eats 90% of his estimated baseline as measured at the start of the protocol and then his body adapted to the lower intake, like if you went from 2500 per day to 2250 you’re not going to end up starving to death. This approach has been show in mice to increase life span by around 30%; the mice did not starve to death by the researchers giving them less food, they adapted & liver longer.
Agreed. I’m 5’ 10” and 162 pounds. I eat about 2200 calories a day but I’m active. I can’t gain weight but don’t lose weight and every site I see for my activity I should be at 2400 calories and I am vegan.
Prioritizing healthy shouldn't be hard BUT it is for 1.000.000 of people. I thank God for sending Bryan to us for helping make it easier
Man I love your videos I’m in college to be a nutritionist and strive to be as informed as you, you’re an inspiration. Is there any advice you have for looking into a specific field in nutrition for someone who likes to workout and do sports?
Please keep going and produce more content this is fantastic....truth matters....also if possible pls try snd go thru his supplements or supplements In general to show what works ...thanks
I've been using his diet as a point of analysis. Starting the day with yogurt, berries, and nuts, as a default seems quite nice (inspired by nutty pudding, and avoiding gluten). He has also inspired me to have a veg loaded lunch, so a stir fry, or soup. The evening meal remains as it always has, with a focus on family & enjoyment. Going through his supplements is interesting, some are prescription drugs, and many of them are aimed at the vegan diet. It's also worth noting his blueprint is built off constant measurement of himself, that is, it really suits him more than anyone. People who follow him should work out that it can't be copied 1-for-1 for themselves, yet it seems many miss this point, despite that they are acolytes.
I'm type 1 diabetic, I noticed that high intensity exercise brings my blood glucose up while low intensity exercise brings it down.
Also, i notice that even though a Banana and chocolate bar both have 30g carb each yhe Banana brings my blood glucose up more by 100
Hey Adam, what do you think of OMAD (one meal of day) & the caloric restriction (most of the time 10-30% deficit) in that diet that has worked for many people and didn't result in organ failure or any negative effects except short term discomfort? Wouldn't Bryan sort of fall into that category?
His point was metabolic adaptation. Starting a diet at 25% caloric deficit won’t keep you at a deficit as your metabolism adapts to the intake
@@lorcansnow2111 I watched it again and yeah you’re right about him saying it’s not a “deficit” in the context of metabolic adaptation. But then he goes on to say that he wouldn’t recommend staying at a 1600 calorie deficit. So my question still stands, people on OMAD seem to be doing well?
How much of this can be applied to women?
Most if not all
@@AdamMc192 It doesn't seem to be taking women's hormonal differences into account though.
Great video. For caloric restriction, it should be considered "energy deficit" based on CRON or calorie restriction with optimal nutrition. It is a theoretical 10% restriction, since as you said, there is no energy deficit but rather metabolic adaptation. The 10% restriction is theoretical based on what it would be if there weren't the metabolic adaptation. While the diet is overall very good, it still has notable gaps. It lacks a bioavailable form of calcium, heme iron, a source of carnitine, DHA, retinol (essential for iodine absorption, with beta carotene conversion insufficient for 40% of the population due to the BCMO1 gene), and C15:0, which is critical for cell wall integrity and only available in dairy, fish, or vegan supplement form.
He may also be risking a copper imbalance with the high daily zinc supplementation of 15 mg, though the inclusion of beans and cocoa may help mitigate this risk. Additionally, his uric acid levels are significantly out of range (too low), likely due to insufficient purines in the diet.
I appreciate your breakdown of the protocol and agree if feels too restrictive for most to succeed. I’m wondering about your comment on willing to take the risks of eating red meat and getting colorectal cancer. If you get it do you think you’ll regret your choices? My whole immediate family has either died from cancer or is battling stage four cancer and seeing the suffering makes nothing worth the risk.
Sorry to hear that, ultimately 1 in 3 or so will get cancer, age being the biggest factor. But cancer isn’t just one disease, there’s many of them. I do keep my processed meat consumption down but I am willing to trade off the small marginal risk given I keep an otherwise very healthy lifestyle.
Bryan is coming out with a Super Veggie Ready to Mix Spread which is "Equal to 3.4 cups of fresh vegetables per serving". Seems kinda sheisty like why would he tell people to eat organic and unprocessed food and then come out with a vegetable equivalent? Can vegetable equivalents give you all the same benefits that vegetables can?
Well there's probably no fiber for starters
Currently struggling with higher blood sugar and my fasting blood sugar is nearly 120 some days. I'm not currently on any diet restrictions, but I try to eat clean ish.
When I consume mostly eggs, cheese, beef, fish and vegetables, my blood sugar levels are lowest, my blood pressure lowers, and my cholesterol levels are not high when doing blood work.
Is the risk of a diet high in beef consumption significant ? I don't know why grains and fruits shove my blood sugar levels so high but they do. Chicken is not easy on my stomach either.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts! Awesome video though!
@@mckayzabriskie if you have pre-diabetes the #1 thing you should focus on is losing weight in a sustainable manor. Everything else is of secondary importance

Bro I said the same thing it’s not a deficit if it’s a deficit it means losing weight he’s body is compensating!!
Haven't watched the entire video - you claim he's in a constant calorie deficit however Bryan said he maintains overall.
He says it is lots of videos, including on his site (which I have shown a screenshot of in this video)
What do you think about prolonged (extended) fasting? Is it better than one meal a day (OMAD) diet?
Very good points, thanks for sharing - God bless!
nice breakdown, after finding BJ started exercising and based on his blueprint kinda broke down what worked for me even nowadays still trying to find the right way but i do eat everything, the idea that you should just get veggies seems to me that you would end up lacking something somewhere not to mention, some veggies are oddly specific or expensive vs meat or eggs or fish, and so cost is also a factor.
Did cut sugars almost from my life, haven't drank soda in years, no cakes, do eat chocolate but thats it.
i started doing supplements back during covid to get that extra D3+K2 and a multi, still doing it nowadays, and as far as this part goes it might make some sense to get some supplements from what you can not get or as often, although if you can get it from fruits/veggies/eggs/meat/fish and its "cheap" usually a better option.
If you’re struggling send me a DM on Instagram I can send you back a voice note
Great video! Could you give the links to the studies and review articles? Keep up the good work!
He explicitly says that his way of eating is a, not THE, way of approximating optimal nutrition. Kinda mischaracterizing him there, but I‘ve also always wondered about his crazy low calorie intake
I am not clear on what you mean there in the first sentence? If you are saying he says it's not the ONLY way to eat well, I would agree. However, his actions don't really align with that. He's said on a number of occasions this is the way to achieve the outer frontier of health, he also publically tals about how he wants to make / is making blueprint available to others.. And also started to sell some of his meals in supplement form. It's clear he's trying to position is as the "right way". You only have to look at UA-cam to see that people are trying to copy his exact protocol.
Hi! Thank you for the video! The only thing which caught my attention (because I already eat healthy-ish) from his diet is chlorella. I looked it up and it seems like it is a very powerful superfood. I have some joint problems and I thought I might give it a try, or is it no better (powerful) than a regular fish oil in terms of managing chronic inflammation? What do you think about it?
This should give you insights: examine.com/supplements/chlorella/
You didn't mention the slowed rate of aging he's achieved as well.
He's still getting older. Those epigenetic clocks need to be taken with a massive grain of salt. There's no evidence they correlate with living longer.
Dude doesn't look like he's aging well at all. He's 5 years younger than me and looks like Lestat from interview From a Vampire. Way to piss 2 mill a year down the drain
He takes more medication (not supps...medication that he needs to get by) than a diabetic with heart failure
@@carvedouttastonestill you need to take into account that he didn't start out healthy and just wanted to be even healthier: "He says he fell into a deep depression in 2004 and stayed there for 10 years. He was overwhelmed by building his company while raising three young children. Medication and therapy didn’t help. He was 50 pounds overweight and miserable, he says."
9:50 what’s not good about carnivore MD? I’d like to know. Since I like the carnevor diet.
High saturated fat is bad for cardiovascular disease risk and a low fibre diet is not a good idea if you care about long term health.
Besides the fact there's no such thing as a carnivore diet for humans, just shows you how ignorant these fake nutrition gurus pushing expensive fad diets are - it's a NECROVORE diet they are peddling. Just helping to give Big Pharma a boost when the results of eating like this kick in a decade or two.
@adamMc192 What about lean red meat is bad for us? How is chicken breast healthy and red meat somehow bad for us?
Lean meats are better, less saturated fat. Red meat, even when lean still contains heme iron, which is believed to be one of the causes of the negative health risk increase.
@@AdamMc192 Thanks for getting back to me! I appreciate that.
Could you please post a link to the video by Dr Rowan Francis that you cited? I’m not finding the video anywhere.
I know you were thinking about talking about his 100 pills a day regime, but he actually just released two new products with one of them purporting to contain those 100 pills. Would love to see them dissected!
I'm still watching but, did you break down his blood panel?
No why would I do that?
@@AdamMc192I was just wondering, obviously no reason at all. Lol

Hey, ive been loving the videos. Just a suggestion, but I would love to hear your thoughts on x-endurance. When I first started seeing their advertisements I just assumed they were looking to make a few dollars off of insecure athletes as the supplement industry often does, but I have since found out that they are supported by some pretty big athletes such as craig engels and donavan brazier. Is this a legitimate product? All that aside, keep up the great content.
I'm a 6-ft male and the lowest weight that I would consider safe would be 70 kilograms I'm currently 85 kg and I'm going to take myself down to 70 to burn out all the rubbish and probably long term fluctuate between 75 and 80, my preference is to be lean.... The diet was designed by Dr Oliver it would be interesting if you could have a debate with him he specialises in regenerative medicine it's all about measuring the data
When talking about increased risk of cancer in red meat, we have to think about the quality of the meat. Did the studies cover grass fed meat vs store bought (fed with grains/antibiotics etc)?
Amazing video btw, good perspectives.
Its more to do with the heme iron in red meat. Processed red meats are a lot worse due to
Added nitrates
@@AdamMc192hmm what to make of the heme that's in the impossible burgers?
No idea to be honest not looked into it, I prefer to eat red meat
There's no difference in the quality of the meat whether grass fed or not. They all went through the same torture with no anesthetics or pain relief. They are all electrically tortured to get onto the trucks and into the slaughterhouse. There's no magical vet waiting to put them down, they are all traumatized and terrified, with cortisol and adrenaline hormones coursing through their bodies.
Their death is not humane and absolutely merciless. Don't fool yourself that being grass fed mitigates any of this.Visit the farms and slaughterhouses, not just the pretty pretty they want you to see. You probably won't be allowed to see what happens out of the public eye.
Imagine withholding antibiotics from an animal when they are sick and need them?
He is supplementing his testosterone, using some patches. He talks about it in his workout video.
But that was very informative and your main message is concentrate on the basics. Great video.
I appreciate that!
What Brian has done is absolutely amazing .he put together a blueprint for people to follow even though he didn’t have to. He even understand that this blueprint doesn’t work for everybody and it’s not just about losing weight which I feel like this video is focused on. It’s about looking at your health from your perspective of longevity. So minimizing the food intake is great because you’re minimizing free radicals and damage from free radicals as well and then of course there’s a lot of lifestyle adjustments.
My only problem is that channels like this take away from the full picture of what Bryan is offering the world. That’s like reading an entire book and picking it part a chapter.
People criticize him as if there was anybody out there doing what this guy is doing.
@@drewfowler2928 minimising food intake to minimise free radicals? I think it’s a bit reductionist. Eating less is only beneficial if it allows you to reach a healthier body weight. There’s no human evidence to suggest otherwise.
What is the big picture Bryan is trying to offer? Why doesn’t he just focus on that rather than the 1% of trivial stuff including his supplements?
He does not restrict calories anymore that was a temporary measure to optimize body fat
what if you have intolerance for vegetable and fruits?
I've never heard of someone having an intolerance to all fruit and vegetables.
@@AdamMc192 have you ever heard of crossreactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD)?
@@AdamMc192 have you ever heard of crossreactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD)
No but looking it up it doesn’t appear to be a condition but rather a structure used in diagnosis of certain allergies. I don’t see anything that would suggest someone is intolerant to all fruit and vegetables
Reading between the lines (based on Bryan’s interviews and website), it seems he was a binge eater when his depression was at its worst. I’m wondering if he’s now swung in the other direction and is using a very restrictive diet, like orthorexia, as a means of managing his mental health?
Although, I suppose for someone who is using themselves as an ongoing clinical study, he probably needs to keep his diet restricted as a control measure.
The is such a good, practical review. Truly awesome.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, you presented it well and i enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The calorie thing can actually be true when u normally need x amount of calories to get all the nutrients you need, but since he optimises so much, he is actually able to achieve that with 10% less calorie intake. It is also a matter of how well your body converts nutrients into body mass or energy. I mean some people with exactly the same body in terms of weight & height could eat different amount of calories since having a different metabolism. Imagine the guy who needs to eat more changes his diet to make his calories have more nutrients then before, which could makes his metabolism more efficient, which leads to him needing to eat less to get the same amount of nutrients. So he is not taking 10% less then he need, but he now needs 10% less then before to hold his weight. Corecct me if I am spitting nonsense
But that sounds right for me
Great breakdown and video Adam
Glad you enjoyed it
Really well done video! But you gotta source correctly my dude. At 9:25 it should be Dr. Rohin Francis // Med-life crisis lmao. I´m a big fan of his, thats why i noticed immediately lmao
Damn I did not see that lol. Yeah I’m a fan too. My editing team spelled it wrong
thank you so much for this video
5:41 - Did you do any further research on that aside from just reading the one summary? There's no definitive evidence that red meat will cause cancer because it's mostly observational studies from this meta analysis. Eating a McDonald's cheese burger is much different than a home cooked steak with no canola oils. Lots of these studies even say that further research is needed.
Not cause but associated with higher risk. Yea processed meat higher in nitrates has a greater risk

@@AdamMc192thats not what you mention here, training, kardio sleep and food i have figured out, now its about the next steps we can take. its not about living a healthy lifestyle until you are 70-80, his program is about MAXIMIZING the healthy time span to the best of the knowledge thats currently available, ofc its not for average joe and you are right for the majority of the ppl watching this vid, but to devalue brians work and the findings is just having a contrary opinion and using his name to receive viral success

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
Good advice! Also, reduce, reuse and recycle.

@@Shackofcinnamon yes you’re right, so you’re agreeing with me?
Really well said and well summarized! Couldn’t agree more ! 👏👏

David Sinclair proved that resveratrol is benefitial. An interesting story actually how his achievement got discredited at first and how he saved his career by proving it all over again.
No he didn’t, his company was sold to GSK and they completely dropped the product after trying to replicate the findings, it was a major loss for them.
He said he has ncrwased his caloric intake

There is no such thing as a carnivore diet for humans, it's just fake nutrition gurus peddling expensive fad diets, that will probably see you supporting Big Pharma in a decade or 2. They are so ignorant they don't even know they are pushing a NECROVORE diet.

you are claiming that a 10% deficit in calorie intake will lead to death if used indefinitely? I’m almost certain this is incorrect
Any consistent deficit will lead to consistent weight loss otherwise it’s not a deficit

You are welcome!
So when he says calorie deficit he means from his target calculated calories so this is already bs. Also fasting he says dont fast if you dont feel like it the other thing you talk about him saying its the best way he literally says not the best way for most people but he says learn small parts from what he does he posts he changes and measurements what he says when he says health is hard he means going to the extremes of trying to increase length of life to beyond 120 etc is hard and thats true
He uses the term calorie deficit in his videos and on his website.. so that's what I am interpreting it to mean.
@@AdamMc192 calorie is a measurement of heat and deficit means to make something too small it is literally saying to make energy to small not sure how you got exact calories being our foods do not get measured calorie to calorie like when you look at bags of chips they all have the same calorie count but they can and do have very different amounts of chips same thing goes with grapes apples etc when ever people are talking about calories unless they are using exact to mm sizing they are talking about general calorie target you don't eat 400 calories exact in a block of chocolate you eat around 400
Why are so many UA-camrs so quick to bash Bryan Johnson? The guy is literally experimenting and dedicating his life to understanding how the human body works to create a blueprint for better health. He’s motivating people to take their health seriously and think about what they’re putting into their bodies. If you’re just using his name for clicks, maybe focus on celebrities promoting harmful products instead-because at least Bryan is trying to make a positive difference.
Not going to lie, perhaps it does help longevity but I have thought that his hair seems quite thin for someone supposeldly so healthy. That caloric defect is probably not helping the hormone production
WW2 veterans seems to live to a 100 why please can you check on that AM SERIOS
Thanks for highlighting this! It's ridiculous that Bryan thinks he is healthy when he needs to supplement testosterone. His body is shutting down important basic hormonal functions. I don't know why his team of doctors can't tell him this basic physiological reality.
I think he is just trying to optimise numbers rather than the actual functioning of his body naturally. Is considered optimal human health if you are required to take medications as a result of your actions, I don't know. It could be argued either way.
finally a new video!

It’s not true because your body always finds a way to cope with that deficit… after a year or so u stop losing weight or it happens very, very slow… u might stop to blink a lot n get rid of bigger movements in your day (without including exercise, just in the things u r going to do, maybe your nails doesn’t grow that thick, your healing processes get slower depending on the deficit u r in… so no he won’t starve… everything is just becoming a bit slower to save energy… ❤
IF is not just about caloric restrictions. Its about giving rest to pancreas and GI.
thank you
Bro ive had your opinion about Brian too and the initial $2 million dollar comment. The guy so not trying to live forever, clearly. He is just documenting with proof his results in different areas of his body...if you can present the same data then cool... but you can't just open up with unsubstantiated notions from the get go.
Health care costs are out of control. Going WFPB vegan can save money, pain and suffering from disease.
Lower your chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer by going vegan. Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices, stress reduction, improving sleep and daily exercise.
I'm not happy with hospital food but sometimes when someone is at a certain point, it is more important to get them to eat anything they can so they have enough calories to get through treatment. Someone who is weak isnt going to be able to munch and digest lots of fiber and probably won't have the appetite for it either. But yeah the time to teach healthy must begin much earlier in school
Good video pretty based and inoffensive/simple and you have an insane physique 🎉
Oh and, I’m also wanting to become a nutritionist starting on my associates next month, do you have any advice? I love nutrition and fitness science it’s just so cool 😊
I personally went to university to do a post graduate degree and then specialised with another masters degree. You could check out Mac Nutrition or Precision Nutrition, both done online, I've done the latter. Good Luck
sounds like just another hater, byran's diet does not cost $2million not in food / supplements.. and you already proved that he can maintain weight by eating low calories 01:52
The point I was making is that even when people think they are in a deficit they’re not. I didn’t say you can’t maintain on low calories
2:22 ya he knows that that's wy he takes 100 pils
I just started this diet and the super veggie causing me to have the most smelly farts I have ever had
