Fuck yeah... hes ordinarilly having comment section like hes a goof... but I guess they dont actually listen the guy - which is a testament to his own success - cause they probably feel offended themselves by his - lets be honest - aaaa-amzing physique.. so its a shame for them they dont seem recognise what this guy has to offer
I would never claim to know more than Mike but please don't take his diet principles as the only way. I've trained many NPC competitors who've went on to get pro cards and my athletes were always the most conditioned on stage. I myself always walked on stage at 5 percent bf or lower and I can tell you Mike's diet works well for the freak that is Titan. None of my national level athletes ever took in more than 100 grams of carbs daily except for refeeds prior to a show. 200 grams of clean protein was also on the high end for my people, add a little healthy fat and you have yourself 1200 calories a day. According to Mike this would cause your metabolism to slow down.....100 percent false. Metabolism is a misunderstood and misused word. So it you eat 300 grams of carbs as the video suggests that's approximately 1200 calories you have to burn before your body can even contemplate using its stored fat reserves. This is counterproductive to losing bf, I'll gladly debate this with Mike anytime. Another pitfall he's directing clients toward is eating large quantities of fruit in the evening.........WTF? Why would anyone want to ingest that amount of simple sugar at a time when your energy expenditure is low. This evening simple sugar meal will be stored as glycogen or possibly fat depending on your glucose stores. This meal alone kills the bodies ideal time for fat burning, when you sleep. If your glycogen stores are on empty at bedtime your body will slowly dip into its fat stores to maintain homeostasis. The biggest benefit of mobilizing fat while you sleep is no cravings and your lifestyle won't interfere with how the body is hardwired to prioritize it's maintenance functions
@@chrissuponcic5181 I think you didn't get what mike's want to say I'm in nutrition since many years also and sorry but the calorie théorie is bullshit. Also you can eat tremendous amounts of fruit and become slimmer. Just check the fruitarian they are all skinny. if your theory would be right then they would be all fat. To resume foods in just simple sugar...shows no unterstanding from the real nutrition just theory.for exemple a simple fruits has over 500 phyto nutriments wich you know nothing. Thinking this 500 acts just same a simple sugar.. 🙄Your are exactly in what he says..
People can talk all the shit about Mike they want but the man is 50 and he looks 30, excellent genetics paired with an unparalleled work ethic. If all these internet fitness experts would follow his advice instead of saying "he's on steroids, durrr" they might look like they lift themselves. Mike I don't care if you are on steroids because it doesn't affect my life one way or the other. I do appreciate the content you put out though. Cheers!
Jay Turani yeah he looks good for his age, but at what cost. He might look good on the outside but his heart will be under great pressure with years of abusing his body with anabolics
@Jay Turani I sound naive? Have you ever done a cycle? I have, and for your information all juice does is makes you heal from your workout faster. Do all the gear you can find and just half ass lift and I promise you wont look like Mike O'hearn, you will look like Jason Blaha
This is gold what we have here. Thank you Mike from a Spanish follower who is trying to "sponge" all the knowledge he can while in his 20s. Those videos are pure knowledge backed up by a lot of experience. Thank you again wolf 🐺⚔️
Really you think? In my professional opinion the diet he explained will work for the freak of nature known as the Titan. An ordinary athlete eating 300 grams of carbs will never have a six pack......Unless they do 3 plus hours cardio a day. If Mona is eating 1200 cals worth carbs daily than I would like to see a panel on her. She must be exhibiting hyperthyroidism, abnormally high blood glucose levels or her body is producing far to many white blood cells. There is one other answer for such high carbohydrate demand "entertainment purposes only". The daily use of low dose pharmaceutical grade HGH taken over a prolonged period of time. This hormone is the only hormone that will allow you to eat like you were 14 again, to quote Mike's words. His training info is top notch but Imo this diet info will lead to little or no results on bf
What he’s saying makes sense that carbs are important everyone likes to talk shit about him but he’s been doing this longer then and is a pro bodybuilder
@@chrissuponcic5181 He's been living clean without smoking and drinking, while eating healthy food and training daily non stop for 40 years. Your models are no good here. lol
Mike is so easy to listen to , under appreciated in the industry . Easily No 1 in my opinion. Come to Marbella and we go for lunch with Dorian on me , seriously
Makes so much sense, keep it normal, natural, eat carbs but make sure you burn them out. Carbs, Protein and fats are all needed in good constraint to keep a healthy body and happy mind.
You seem like someone i might be able to reason with about this video. I love mike and his training advice is top notch but his dietary approach is totally unrealistic. Who wants to use up 1200 calories worth of carbs every day before you even have the opportunity to mobilize some stored bf. It's pointless and a waste of money, carbs are only energy. Protein is the only micronutrient that impacts cellular growth and repair
I’ve done low carb yo-yo dieting and fasting for so long . It’s not sustainable and my body composition has never been worse . What you said about eating the food and feeling bloated is spot on .Going to be a long road of recovery but I’m dedicated to lifting my way out of the deficit. Appreciate all the knowledge Mike .
For the life of me I can't understand why their are so many losers that come watch these videos and throw out negative comments about Mike. This guy seems as real as they get. Would love to meet him and get even more free advice. Maybe some of you younger guys should come back to this video when you hit 50 years old and post a picture of yourself. You have no idea how hard it is to maintain a physique like Mike's. I don't care if you pump every steroid known to man in you, you wont look like Mike. Ive seen guys on gear that don't even look like they have ever touched a weight. I truly can appreciate what this guy looks like. Why? because I have over thirty years in the gym and have put in a ton of time effort and sweat there. I love it! One thing I've learned as I get older is to listen to people who are better than you. I don't think Mike can be beat as far as advice goes. Would love to train with this guy, but running my own company with three small children time is everything to me. Therefore, I spend all my drive time absorbing new tips from people like Mike. Hit the gym with positive energy and hopes for improvements every time I go. No excuses. One thing the Marine Corps taught me was to never quit, reminds me a lot of Mike's attitude. Always looking to get better. He also keeps learning which is key in my opinion to staying in the gym for decades. Thanks again Mike God bless you for helping so many people change themseleves
Keto diet was not good for me, high cholesterol and edema. Keto doctors kept saying cholesterol is not a problem. They were lying. Since I went off keto and started eating all food groups and managing my calories my life improved. My cycle went back to normal. Headaches while on my cycle is gone. Its amazing 🤩
I've trained many professional athletes and the diet Mike layed out is complete bs. I'll be happy to debate him on it anytime lol. If his wife is eating 1200 calories daily from carbs alone she should have a panel done because their is serious underlying health concerns. His use of the word metabolism shows a complete lack of information on the bodies caloric consumption and storage take place. Literally I think everything he said was incorrect for anyone trying to get leaner
@@mrblister8359 haha thank God theirs still some voices of reason on youtube, even if it's only in the comments section. Mike does not take steroids that I know. Notice I said steroids which are synthetic derivatives of the hormone testosterone. I would say he goes to an anti aging clinic where he is probably given a bio identical testosterone implant and synthetic HGH. I'd also wager he's prescribed an ADD style stimulant which is quickly becoming an industry norm. I really want to get ahold of Mike and see if he's interested in having a diet debate. I consider his training knowledge gold but man those diet recommendations are wrong in almost every way imaginable
Mike I'm 46 and have been training since high school. i recently really started implementing your ideas and have seen massive growth. I have had both biceps tendons tear and have had surgery twice which put me back a year of training each time ( both times injuries were not in the gym). I wont quit and love Mike's positive attitude. Getting pretty sick of haters trolling videos and posting about steroid use. You haters act as if you pump steroids into your body you'll look anywhere near as good as Mike does. Mike is out there trying to help people gain knowledge which takes decades to gain. I truly appreciate the videos and love trying out some lift variations. Cant wait to see how far my body goes with his ideas. Currently 6' 200lbs and abs showing year round. This isnt an accident! Hard work and decades of training. Thanks Mike your the man
Mike's training advice is top notch but his dietary approach is totally unrealistic. I'll offer to train anyone who's watched this video for free just to prove everything Mike detailed will not lean out the body
Amazing content , I’m 49 and gave up serious bodybuilding in my mid 30’s due to variety of factors , but man I wish I had access to this info in my teens , would of played out much dif’ thank you Mike gonna give it another try to finish out this journey of life !! Inspired
I see some guys in their mid 50s early 60s on the gym. In good shape for their age. Thats what i hope for , might not be mike o hearn or the strongest in the gym but if i can have guys in their 20s respect my strength and shape at that age and to be functional and strong would be really cool, more than satisfactory.
Mike's training knowledge is top notch but trust me the diet he layed out was complete garbage. I've trained many professional athletes and even those with the greatest genetics would not lean out on Mike's diet. I'd be happy to debate him anytime on this subject because I'm not sure what he has to gain but misleading clients
I want to say thank you for this video and many others you've made that are so inspiring, what you say is definitely true and it's really hard to understand why we are not able to apply basics in our lives, like to listen to the body. I think it's not just about nutrition but about life itself and what we do with it. Let's allow humanity to unleash its real potential.
Mike's training advice is top notch but this diet info is cringe worthy. If your serious about getting lean I would coach you for free just to disprove everything Mike said in this video
Carbs are anabolic because of insulin. Fat cells, neurons, cancer cells, etc grow in the presence of insulin. Only amino and fatty acids are required per biochemistry.
Love that Mike understands that sugar is not the problem and everything breaks down to sugar. Sugar = thyroid health.Everything runs down streams of that . Good lad
This is what I wanted to see. My philosophy is eat what u need not what u want. Training is the fun part we all know that. I needed to here this great information respect your advice and took a lot in on this.
Truly one of the best videos on here for nutritional information and eating habits advices! I will probably go back and forth watching this video because there's so much great information to learn and remember.
If u correlate a slower metabolism with longevity sure. Or maybe there’s associative studies with people eating high carb junk food with bad health outcomes.
I disagree that once your body runs out of carbohydrates it goes straight to using protein as energy. It doesn't, it uses fats. Fats are stored energy, put away for times of hunger etc. Its a survival mechanism, Why would the body go to all that trouble of storing fats as energy if its just going use protein? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ why would the body break down its muscle tissue to survive when you wouldn't survive without muscle? The body will try to preserve muscle for as long as possible, if that was the case. I'm not saying you are wrong mike, that's just the way i understand it, if i am wrong then please correct me 👍
Excellent points here. Simplified and easy to register. As a PT myself, this is essentially the same script I mention to my own clients. Thanks big man!
Good stuff Mike, these are all things I’ve learned and realized myself with my own body. AWESOME to hear them from you to confirm what I’ve been realizing and doing. 49 1/2 eating full range of foods carbs veggies and protein and staying at 200lbs 7 % ish. I love eating a pizza and not gaining as a result always had that haha. I fully notice the more carbs I eat and the timing of the intake, my metabolism revs up. First meal is immediately upon waking full serving of ground oatmeal, banana, almond butter, protein scoop blend and drink. Off to work then eat breakfast ect..... great honest content here. I’ll have to by another shirt 😂💪🏻🙏🏻
I glad this is working for you but metabolisms don't rev up. Metabolism simply refers how hard your making your body work to achieve homeostasis. Homeostasis means the body wants to remain the same but if your eating more carbs now the body has to accelerate dozens of unseen reactions trying to lower blood glucose levels. This over compensation quickly attracts side effects like reduced insulin sensitivity, glycogen spillover and increased aromatization
Oh your first meal / shake contains all complex carbs and some fats, totally counterproductive. The body will use the fats first because the body cannot store them. After which the oatmeal and banana are slower burning carbs which will digest even slower because of the fiber in the oats and fruit. To add to this already slow digestion the almond butter will take your fast acting whey and quadruple the amount of time before it enters the bodies amino pool. The better option would be whey isolate in water, drink immediately upon waking up. The body still has a higher concentration of blood in the stomach which will be directed to the extremities approximately 45 to 55 minutes. By drinking the whey isolate during this window it's quickly absorbed and brought into the amino pool to be sent to the bodies extremities. 25 minutes after your shake you'll want 50 carbs, 20 from a simple source like honey and 30 from a complex source like rice cakes. The simple sugar will help shuttle the shakes aminos while the complex will slowly make their way into your blood stream providing a more stable energy throughout your morning
I'm completely on board with what he's saying .. when I drop my carbs, sure I start to look leaner but my energy and strength get fkd and I just look worse ... I look weaker .. when I'm eating more carbs, I'm stronger in my workouts, more energy and I look better and healthier .. muscles look fuller etc .. I guess the trick is figuring out how many carbs to eat
that's because you need to eat a high fat diet when you lose the carbs. Your body needs to start feeding on fats. Mike here is not really following the science, carb restriction is more healthy. But with everything, you have to understand what is happening to make sure you still have the energy to do everything.
Solid talk man, people should stop talking about the steroids boolshit and more about this man’s knowledge 80% of the people who comment on the boolshit don’t have what it takes what this man has done
Quality Content. Nutrition is way more CRITICAL to Natural lifters then people on gear, we tend to look at people on social media eat "cheat meals" and think its okay if I do 50/50 nutrition too but little do these young armatures lifters know, ...is those dudes they look up to on social media take gear to recover and look Elite. You have to "Eat right" to look good as Natural, there is no way around it. Mike O'Hearn has to eat right not only because he has to guest posing but he is old dude now and can't be messing around like other fake natties with their binge eating. As for Natural dudes, and for myself, I don't even bother with fast foods, I cook everything and If I feel like eating pizza, I cook it. Done and Done.
Great info. I used to "eat healthy" all the time … then I fell off a stage and lost all my gains. Now I make sure to "eat right" instead. Haven't fallen off a stage since making the switch. Fingers crossed.
i really don't care if mike talks about his PED use or not, i'm trying to get diet and training advice from the guy. say what you want about him but he's a legend in the industry.
Don't look at it as a diet. Track your calories. Fuck macros. Make sure protein is with every meal. And set a calorie limit for each day. If you want cake...check the calories. Subtract from other meals during your day
I wish I saw this before I went on a low carb diet. I have gained back only about have the weight I lost but I gained a gut. Never had a massive gut in my life. He is totally right about being able to gain fat faster.
I'm fairly strict on my nutrition. Everything is measured. May not be perfect. I've avoided fast food. Had it a cheat meal and realize I didn't need to eat. Former sushi chef.
Thanks for putting out there that we don't need to scream and run the opposite direction from carbs. I eat tons of carbs and at almost 42 I am still breakdancing, now going on 20 years. I follow a plant-based diet.
“How you get in shape is how you must maintain” I tell my clients this all the time.
Came here to troll but I actually learned stuff and Mike seems very level headed.
Fuck yeah... hes ordinarilly having comment section like hes a goof... but I guess they dont actually listen the guy - which is a testament to his own success - cause they probably feel offended themselves by his - lets be honest - aaaa-amzing physique.. so its a shame for them they dont seem recognise what this guy has to offer

First meal is immediately upon waking full serving of ground oatmeal, banana, almond butter, protein scoop blend and drink. Off to work then eat breakfast ect..... great honest content here. I’ll have to by another shirt 😂💪🏻🙏🏻
I glad this is working for you but metabolisms don't rev up. Metabolism simply refers how hard your making your body work to achieve homeostasis. Homeostasis means the body wants to remain the same but if your eating more carbs now the body has to accelerate dozens of unseen reactions trying to lower blood glucose levels. This over compensation quickly attracts side effects like reduced insulin sensitivity, glycogen spillover and increased aromatization
Oh your first meal / shake contains all complex carbs and some fats, totally counterproductive. The body will use the fats first because the body cannot store them. After which the oatmeal and banana are slower burning carbs which will digest even slower because of the fiber in the oats and fruit. To add to this already slow digestion the almond butter will take your fast acting whey and quadruple the amount of time before it enters the bodies amino pool. The better option would be whey isolate in water, drink immediately upon waking up. The body still has a higher concentration of blood in the stomach which will be directed to the extremities approximately 45 to 55 minutes. By drinking the whey isolate during this window it's quickly absorbed and brought into the amino pool to be sent to the bodies extremities. 25 minutes after your shake you'll want 50 carbs, 20 from a simple source like honey and 30 from a complex source like rice cakes. The simple sugar will help shuttle the shakes aminos while the complex will slowly make their way into your blood stream providing a more stable energy throughout your morning
Learn with O'Hearn.
He's full of shit
This could be his new talk section where he is dispensing his incredible knowledge. "Learn with O'Hearn" we'll done.. Loved it
Amazing advice, Mike really knows his stuff
We need more videos like this mike
100% the worst days make them the best days
I'm completely on board with what he's saying .. when I drop my carbs, sure I start to look leaner but my energy and strength get fkd and I just look worse ... I look weaker .. when I'm eating more carbs, I'm stronger in my workouts, more energy and I look better and healthier .. muscles look fuller etc .. I guess the trick is figuring out how many carbs to eat
that's because you need to eat a high fat diet when you lose the carbs. Your body needs to start feeding on fats.
Mike here is not really following the science, carb restriction is more healthy. But with everything, you have to understand what is happening to make sure you still have the energy to do everything.
@@Cenot4ph got you .. I'll keep that in mind
I like to have anavar chear meal when I tren extra hard and test my limits. Eating clen is hard all the time.
Fuck that’s lame.
Solid talk man, people should stop talking about the steroids boolshit and more about this man’s knowledge 80% of the people who comment on the boolshit don’t have what it takes what this man has done
Bullshit* 😉🤙
How do you work with someone do a video on this subject.
He is the perfect ken for barby
I've actually been doing this. I just feel better with a few carbs.
This one is the best video of the three.. Thanks Mike.. Always appreciate your work..
Without overthinking this. If I start adding 25 grams of carbs a day does the fiber in the vegetables I am eating take away carbs?
One of his best videos! SO much knowledge learned right here
Baby dont hurt me , dont hurt me , no more
My face has been ripped off with the awesomeness of this, wow.
This is really great advice! Thank you very much!
Quality Content. Nutrition is way more CRITICAL to Natural lifters then people on gear, we tend to look at people on social media eat "cheat meals" and think its okay if I do 50/50 nutrition too but little do these young armatures lifters know, ...is those dudes they look up to on social media take gear to recover and look Elite. You have to "Eat right" to look good as Natural, there is no way around it. Mike O'Hearn has to eat right not only because he has to guest posing but he is old dude now and can't be messing around like other fake natties with their binge eating. As for Natural dudes, and for myself, I don't even bother with fast foods, I cook everything and If I feel like eating pizza, I cook it. Done and Done.
While on gear, you need to be even more conscientious of diet than those not on gear
Great info. I used to "eat healthy" all the time … then I fell off a stage and lost all my gains. Now I make sure to "eat right" instead. Haven't fallen off a stage since making the switch. Fingers crossed.
I think we all know you'll never even make it to the stage
Mike is in a different League altogether !! On On !!
Thank you mike for all the information and education , true legend
Love Mike man, always gives passionate advice
He just said everything i wanted to hear!!
Am so gratful 💜
I've definitely noticed that 10-14 day period when you notice changes from what you were doing.
Best fitness content on youtube
Let's go. Finally. A fellow man of culture. 0 carb diet carnivore diet is wack
i really don't care if mike talks about his PED use or not, i'm trying to get diet and training advice from the guy. say what you want about him but he's a legend in the industry.
The biggest issue I face is "falling off" the wagon when sticking to a diet.
See what I did there?
Yeah kiddo and u not minding your own business instead trolling your own boring life. Gud
Don't look at it as a diet. Track your calories. Fuck macros. Make sure protein is with every meal. And set a calorie limit for each day. If you want cake...check the calories. Subtract from other meals during your day
Ian Anthony
Fuck calories.
Just eat normally.
Thanks Mike!! You are very good at explaining things.
MIKE! THIS INFORMATION IS GOLD!!!
Professor Mike O'Hearn ...Love this
What’s it mean feeling sleepy after a meal?

Wow, information we don't hear that much of. Awesome stuff
Because the information will not achieve the results you desire
Amazing information Mike. Hopefully the youngsters actually listen to what your saying.
You’re My favourite bodybuilder. Great video
I wish I saw this before I went on a low carb diet. I have gained back only about have the weight I lost but I gained a gut. Never had a massive gut in my life. He is totally right about being able to gain fat faster.
Mike you are the greatest really i hope you make your way to Connecticut one day so i can meet you💪💪💪😎😎😎💯
Thanks for this video Mike great information bro wish I was there in person but this is the next best thing
how do you get the body then to function properly and utilize what your feeding it and not blow up then? i didn't hear how to do that?
Great advice! Thanks Titan!
Excellent video... Congrats!!!
I'm fairly strict on my nutrition. Everything is measured. May not be perfect. I've avoided fast food. Had it a cheat meal and realize I didn't need to eat. Former sushi chef.
Cool thing to know im at a point i can eat whatever and look like my pic here. It took severe consistency 6 days a week for 5 yrs to get there.
Take it from someone who looks like he practice what he preach!!! Excellent Talk!
The diet Mike proposed will not work. I'll train anyone for free just to disprove all the misleading statements and half truths in this video
I learned a ton from this vid thanks mike. I do think nutrition is the hardest and its 80% of it i was always told . More so than the lifting itself .
Some real good points in here like it
He open my eyes
Thanks for putting out there that we don't need to scream and run the opposite direction from carbs. I eat tons of carbs and at almost 42 I am still breakdancing, now going on 20 years. I follow a plant-based diet.
Super good show , end your super right boss for the nutrition
Really super video
Came here to learn something, I got annoyed by the SO MANY commercials/ads, give it some break
For UK fans this is the next best thing. Otherwise I'd be in this lucky group! Thanks Mike! 👍
Awesome info Mike! Thank you
Yes just thank you 100%
