    I am a 50 year old woman who started a full body recomposition 3 years ago and lost 50 pounds and put 5000 miles on my stationary bike and broke in a set of kettle bells. No down sides. No pharmaceutical regrets or side effects. So glad I did it when I did. No stopping now. I'm addicted.

    The insomnia advice is literally spot on. I'm a registered sleep tech and a lot of my focus has been on insomnia, every single doctor has the same advice. Bed is for sleep and sex, nothing else. If you are not feeling tired do not try and force it. More important than a bed time is a scheduled wake up time as your body will try and naturally get you to sleep the amount you need.

    • @zizo015
      @zizo015 2 дні тому

      So even if i go sleeping at 3am I should wake up at 7 as scheduled? The next evening you will be forced to go earlier sleeping because your body needs it..? Is that what you mean? I struggle to find a strategy to maintain good sleep and I hate to wake up late.. Thanks

    • @Whitebushido
      @Whitebushido 2 дні тому

      @@zizo015 If chronic insomnia is your problem getting the routine wake up time is important for your body adjusting, yes. If you're not maintaining good sleep though first piece of advice would be going and getting a sleep study done. So many people sleep and have no idea what good sleep is but their body is used to being exhausted 24/7.

    When I was working professionally as a personal trainer at a few gyms on the east coast, almost EVERY WOMAN I had ever talked to told me the following: “I don’t want to lift weights because I don’t wanna look like a bodybuilder”.
    Man, I would be retired in the Bahamas if I had a dollar for every time a female said this to me. It’s also absurd. 💪🐰✌️

    Sleep is so important but sometimes so difficult, I"am 61 very fit, workout over 1000 mins per week and am retired so work does not get in the way but I developed BPH, so I was getting up 3-6 times a night to use the bathroom, started Dutasteride four months ago, so the frequency is down to mostly 2 times a night, also started melatonin which really helps me to fall straight back to sleep after going to the bathroom but what I found that really helps when I do my cardio workouts in the early morning is when I come back home is to go back to bed for one hour, made a big difference to my well being and also I listen to my body and when it's telling me to sleep I will also go in the afternoon too for one hour, you have to try and find a way to get that sleep, so important to your well being.

Stand on one leg, then put on the sock, put on the shoe, tie the shoe, then repeat, never having more than one foot on the ground at a time. Resistance training and sleeping aa best I can have made me fitter, stronger, and better across the board as far as health is concerned. I feel and perform better than I did in my 20’s now. This advice is GOLD.

    It always boils down to sleep. 😢 and I honestly can't get more.than 6hrs a night on a good day. With a child with autism sleep can be a real struggle. If he's bouncing around his room till 11pm and the latest I can get up.for work is 4am. Sleep is just one if those variables I've resigned myself to not getting.

I lived life on 4-6 hours fo so long, felt perfectly fine but since it was mentioned so often while i have been trying to lose weight I decided to try to ensure i get 8 hours and holy shit my everything is better. It's funny because it was so gradual that you barely notice it (until its gone), but I am now on the sleep hype train, Sleep has got to be like, 50-75% of the base of being healthy. Easily the strongest foundation for yourself you can build.

    Glad I came across this... I'm starting off my lifestyle change, and I'm trying to get toned "cut". I'm 37 yrs old, 5'6 and 190 lbs. I'm chubby in the waist area. I work construction and normally tired at the end of the day. I signed up at the Crunch gym a few weeks ago, and I go in at 5am, mon- sat, for about an hour and 20 mins. I sleep at 8:30 pm. My workout history is on/off cardio workout videos for 4-5 years. My "diet" consist of salads and grilled chicken and idk how to cook.... how screwed am i?? 😅😅
    I would like some input for improvements. Idk any workout routines down packed.

    I got crazy fat during the lockdowns. Like 5'11"/295lbs/53% BF obese. By August of 2023, starting in mid January, I was down to 207lbs/17-18% BF. I ended up getting my license pulled by the IRS for a few months and ballooned back to 245lbs and am now at 218lbs. Both times losing weight (very quickly mind you) and adding a significant amount of muscle the first time, and a _little_ bit on what has now been a 3.5 month adventure. My bench is higher than it has *EVER* been, my deadlift and squat are both approaching personal highs, and my abs are finally visible again.
    The only big changes I made were *A.* Walking *OUTSIDE* 2-5 miles per day, *B* Getting 25-60 minutes of some type of cardio, whether that's swimming, basketball or an elliptical, it doesn't matter. Just something where I can get my heart rate up to 125, down to 90, up to 150, down to 100, etc etc.. *AND* making sure I get at least 2/3's my body weight in protein. I'm also resistance training, but for the first forty pounds when I was dropping from almost 300lbs it was exclusively walking, usually 2 miles/day after working up from 200 yards (yeah, it was bad, my back was a mess so I did as much as I could) and trying to do the protein thing as opposed to the frozen burritos and donuts thing.
    I don't want to say it has been easy, but it is easy now, and once I got over the hump and built my lower back up a bit, it was pretty darn easy then as well. The hardest part is literally getting in _enough_ protein. Browning 5lbs of lean hamburg and chicken to season numerous different ways, cooking a pound of high fiber/high protein macaroni (about $1.99/box as opposed to $1.39 so not all that expensive considering each box has 10 servings in it) along with 2 or 3 cups of long grain rice and wtv veggies I'm putting in it (usually tomatoes, bell peppers, various hot peppers, onions, garlic etc. _should_ be easy, but idk, it can really get to be a pain when you really want those two 1500 calorie wraps from Chipotle...which I still eat occasionally, and make something similar at home...but that damn 165+ grams of protein...ugh. I find myself getting full now way too soon. I'd say it is usually around the 125 grams area that I am done. I start the day with a 35 grams of protein 1/2 whey Isolate/1/2 Cassein 140 calorie chocolate protein shake and a greek yogurt with strawberries, blueberries, wtv berries, then have another 25 grams of protein shake with wtv I decide to have for dinner and I am *_FULL._* Before I decided to switch I could easily eat 3 500 calorie frozen burritos for breakfast (21 grams of protein total) and an entire large pizza for lunch (1900 calories, about 60 grams of protein), a large chicken Caesar wrap (1350 calories, 30 grams of protein) around 8 or 9 PM and still be starving when I went to bed. Now? I see the clock tick to 11PM or so and I find myself 1250, 1500, sometimes 2K calories below where I need to be to lose 1.75lbs/week. It's *NUTS.*
    The only days calories are a problem are days I eat out. If I am eating whole foods that *I* cook, the sheer amount of volume you need to get *IF* you are active to not be in a deficit is crazy. I have 2 servings of Ice Cream or a Pop Tart almost every night, and it is rare for me to not have at least 750 left on top of a 1K deficit. If you can put it together as a beginner the changes in your body can be obscene. The last time I could see an outline of my abs I was 6. Now I'm almost 50 and what do you know, the buggers are still there. Oh, my Test is only around 300, so to high for TRT, but right on the line for what is considered _"Low T"_ so you don't necessarily need to have crazy high test numbers, just walk, lift, eat enough protein while in a deficit and sleep 6+ hours per night. Every day, every night. Once that clicks, yeah, it is *EASY.* Longwinded as heck to tell the story, but easy none-the-less.
    Edit: I also Intermittent fast 5-7 days per week *BESIDES* a morning protein shake and 80 calories of Greek Yogurt/fruit...so it's typically a 16/8 I. Fast, but if you count the 220 morning shake+yogurt calories it's more like a 12/12.

    Here are the key takeaways from Dr. Mike Israetel’s advice on losing fat and building muscle simultaneously:
    1. **Beginner Advantage**: Beginners to resistance training can experience significant simultaneous fat loss and muscle gain by eating at maintenance calories and engaging in regular resistance training without needing to focus on either bulking or cutting.
    2. **Importance of Resistance Training**: Resistance training is essential for everyone, especially those looking to lose fat and retain or gain muscle. It provides a strong stimulus for muscle growth and helps maintain muscle mass during calorie deficits.
    3. **Adequate Protein Intake**: Maintaining high protein intake during a calorie deficit is crucial to prevent muscle loss and support muscle growth.
    4. **Sleep is Critical**: Adequate sleep is non-negotiable for effective fat loss and muscle gain. Insufficient sleep can lead to muscle loss, decreased fat loss efficiency, and poorer overall health outcomes.
    5. **Simplicity and Maintenance**: For many, particularly beginners, keeping a simple approach of maintaining calorie levels while improving diet quality and engaging in resistance training can yield substantial body recomposition benefits.
    6. **Consistency Over Perfection**: Regular, consistent efforts in diet and training are more effective and sustainable than attempting perfect, but overly restrictive or complex routines.
    7. **Holistic Approach**: Combining good nutrition, effective training, and sufficient sleep forms a holistic approach that enhances body composition, health, and performance.

    I agree with everything this guys says, however, I often see people around talking about people not getting enough sleep as if it were always out of personal choice. People usually look at it from a personal perspective. The truth of the matter is that those, who struggle to get enough sleep, do so because of personal circumstances, be it anxiety, marital issues, issues at work with a colleague, employee or boss, a child who might be on the wrong path in life, facing bankruptcy, a terminal illness faced by the person himself or a relative of theirs, etc. You see, life is far more complex than one might initially imagine.
