Heres a tip I never hear anyone talk about. Tasting junk food doesn't add calories. Swallowing it does. People wolf down a candy bar (for example) and barely taste it. Cut the thing into quarters or eighths. Put one piece in your mouth. Taste the hell out of it. Savor it. Enjoy it for a few minutes. And then save the rest for 3 other days. You just massively cut the calories iof your junk food consumption while increasing your enjoyment.

I am 71, 5'4" and back to the weight - 8 1/2 stone - I was 50 years ago. I hate gyms but lead an active life. The last stone fell off me when I drastically reduced my sugar intake. I buy and cook fresh food from the market; do my own housework; rarely sit down. I eat what I want except I no longer eat cake every day

I've been losing weight by cutting out carbs. I've been very strict about sticking to this plan and not drinking alcohol. Yesterday, I was at a picnic and doing a great job of not eating until someone put out a plate of cheeseburgers. I was starving so I grabbed one and poured myself a glass of red wine. OMG! They tasted so delicious! I enjoyed the burger and a couple of tortilla chips to go with it, had another glass of wine and called it a day.

Dr. Mike is the only UA-cam fitness guy I've seen who actually talks about stuff like this. Having an all-or-nothing mentality about food is probably what keeps me losing and gaining back the same 100 pounds all my life.

I've been so stressed out because over the next three months I have three amazing trips planned, and I've been trying to plan how I was going to eat so I could maintain losing weight.

We need to stop calling eating healthy foods a "diet". It's a normal lifestyle. Normalize eating foods you're supposed to eat. Eating foods that provide little to no nutritional value should be called a "junk food diet" or "stupid diet".
We could call it masturbation diet. You are eating it just for pleasure, you getting desensitized by it and loosing control and very fast its getting unhealthy.
Omg the part where he says if you fall off or have one mistake you give up resonated with me. I use to do that. Then allowed myself to make mistakes and not be perfect. Then I lost the weight.
I agree, same with me. Gotta gain some and lose some and live, but not give up to reach your goals after falling off. And after losing, maintain for a while and get back on track to lose again 🙂
This is exactly what my doctor recommended. I have a holistic doctor and he is awesome. I lost 10 pounds (i know i am lucky, that’s all i needed to loose) and my labs are now perfect. I eat what I want on weekends and back eating right the rest of the week. This worked for me 🎉🎉.
I know exactly what he talks about. I would be perfect for 3 weeks but then break down and have an entire pizza. I would feel like a loser for eating poorly but I eventually realized eating the pizza was essentially therapeutic. I felt better, my body got energy, and it launched me into bigger gains
What you could do is make a healthy pizza yourself, its possible, you can also eat a Pizza which where I live is about 1400cal, I need about 2200 (I am not a bodybuilder), so I would still have room for ablut 800cal of healthy nutritionous food
An entire Pizza is my "cheat day", first of the month, every month. Still down 95 lbs from where I started a year and a half ago. If you eat "bad" two, three days out of the month, it's not gonna damage your diet or even ruin it. Probably would've been about 10 lbs lighter if I had skipped the pizza and ice cream. But I'll take the pizza and ice cream I've had throughout my diet over 10lbs less any day. Because I'm still gonna end up at my goal regardless in the long run.
That is probably the best dietary and exercise information I have heard. So succinct and easy to understand. This message needs to be shared with all of us that struggle with our body mass!!!!!
Comforting to know I'm pretty much dieting correctly according to this guy. Don't flog yourself over breaking your diet, just get back to it tomorrow, you're not a sinner. Miss the gym a couple of days this week? Go extra next week, but try not to do that often. The best thing is if you develop a real taste for fresh healthy foods, I actually prefer a great salad to greasy burgers and fries, it certainly makes it easier. Thanks for all the info, this guy is very rational about diets, habits, and the mind games we play on ourselves with something as difficult as dieting.
I've never heard anyone call breaking your diet sinning until this video. He's right about that mentality because it's always felt that way. This has made me feel so relieved and happy.
Don't "go extra" because you listened to your body and went easier for a week or two. The progress actually happens on rest days. You could take a week or two off every few months and see tremendously accelerated results. I do it with my athlete and non athlete clients all the time, have for over 30 years.
This is the first time I’ve heard this doctor speak. He’s good. The ideas he present are sound and congruent with nutrition facts I’ve learned. The way he presents is fantastic. He’s respectful, centred, mindful, calm, and receptive to this interviewer. I’ll be searching for more videos about him.
A lot of good info here. But the calorie burn from cardio is a little over/understated. He says 600 extra calories burned a week is a drop in the bucket, but it's a 9 pound difference over a year (600 x 52 / 3500 = 8.9 lbs). That's not insignificant and it only requires running 1 mile per weekday which takes less than 10 minutes and feels great. Not a bad deal! This isn't to take away from his central message which is keeping your diet in check is the lower hanging fruit. Totally agree with that.
I love it you eat two donuts you got six miles to run that day it shows how you can't out exercise a bad diet. you burn more calories just by being alive than by exercising. I would say its 90 percent diet and only 10 percent exercise.
I don't crave for junk food. I need proper nutrition. That's what makes me happy. However, when I crave some bs, I have it and my body goes like, "okay, thanks". I don't diet, I have a healthy eating habit.
I’m in ketosis. At last. After some hard work and lots of learning how to do it, I’m happy. I know that if I fall back into the patterns of eating foods I really enjoy, which are not sugar free or low carb, I will, inevitably, become that tired, sore, depressed human being again who has no energy for life. I don’t consider this way of living a “diet” and it’s possibly forever for me. At no point in my future do I see me happily eating through my third plate of Chinese food at the buffet. But it’s worth it to feel and look good after decades of hating myself.
When I exercise, I find it regulates my appetite, and I crave healthier foods. Exercising for health benefits is a great idea, rather than body weight.
@@TheMightyOdin No, you can`t. I am actually doing this very successful every time I want to get very fit. It works perfectly , healthy and fast. Keep in mind what you consider as "healthy" food may not be healthy at all. Even the dressing in the salad can actually gain weight rapidly. In this period you can also exclude the nuts, or eat max 20-30g raw nuts per day. You can eat pork and chicken - only baked, 3-5 eggs per day - only boiled, tomatoes, onion, garlic, cucumber, cheese, yellow cheese, olives and pesto. For dessert - apples - one per day. You can rotate the food variaty with SIMILAR vegetables.
@@TheMightyOdin You can't over eat on whole foods. Try over eating on vegetables like cabbage or broccoli, it's impossible. Heck even fried chicken is very difficult to over eat.
@@danielkoman6947 Mostly - if you eat more times you risk to eat more than needed. Second - your body needs time to process the food, some foods like prok, mushroomas and others need 3-4 hours and more to fully digest and you may not have finished digesting the previous meal and start a new one. Third reason - tipycally you need to go to bed atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal and you need to train atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal. So you won`t have enough time unless you eat less and light food, but then you risk to stay hungry and mess with your blood shugar, insuline levels and train capacity. Four - I`ve tried this and say if from personal experience. 3 meals ar optimal , but occasionaly you can eat 2 or 4 meals. For example - you have not trained today, you have lazy day in home and not hungry - 2 meals are fine. But when you have busy day and train - you can go for 4.
I've also had the "I'm a sinner" mentality. I always try to do better the day after I "mess up," but I also build in an occasional meal where I eat something a little elss healthy every couple of weeks. Never a massive binge, though.
finally, some deep philosophy around health - i hope he has challengers, but he's kinda killing here speaking to the general subjective. cheers and gratitude.
Daily activity level also needs to be taken into account. When I was working construction, I was able to eat a ton of calories and just stay at maintenance. Now that I have a much slower paced job, I've gained about 25 lbs, and even though I work out, that extra weight won't budge.
So basically, you don’t have to cut out carbs. Cheat a bit on the weekends. As long as you keep good eating habits in control and stay active daily, you’ll lose weight.
I’m glad that Dr Mike is on this.He’s hit great advice but happy to admit when he was wrong, there are some people complain that his thesis for his doctorate has some dubious references but we all make mistakes. He’s an absolute legend Shame Steven Bartlet is such a self obsessed bore , although admittedly a very successful one ☝️
Maintenance is actually trickier than losing. U can easily recomp at 20% but at 10% you don’t want to miss because u love ur physique but want to make strength gains. I do think maintenance is a good mental and tracking exercise.
I agree since its tougher to change your diet when around family members. The best solution - instead of changing your diet, limit junk food intake, and stick to working out everyday.
FINALLY! Someone that knows what they are talking about. All these people that talk about diets like Keto or other methods complain saying soon as you come off it, you'll put it back on. This guy gets it! Once you get to a weight, you need to then maintain it! First person I have seen mention this compared to all these other people that make a living talking about diets and don't know what they are talking about.
As a perimenopausal woman, exercise absolutely makes me ravenous. Then I'm advised to intermittent fast just to keep from gaining. Losing weight is a pipe dream and I'm hungry all the time. Frustrating. :(
You're getting the opposite advice to what you need. Kate Deering has a great book with an approach that helped me during menopause tremendously. I've been a trainer for decades, she has as well, and the approach she uses seems counter intuitive but it lowers cortisol, improves sleep quality and overall stress, and then metabolism starts to pick back up again. Give it a look, see if it resonates. I wish I'd found it sooner, because all of my training and experience wasn't helping me once the hormones were slamming up and down all the time.
Sounds great! Though I wanted to push back on the idea of a kebab as junk food. I get a skewer with grilled chicken and onions and peppers about once a week and it is very healthy.
A bit of a click-bait title but still good information. I changed my paradigm on exercise when I started the ketogenic diet. He is so right. Exercise is a good addition for respiratory and muscular health but has little to do with fat loss. It isn't all about the calories. It is also about what you eat when you eat, hormones, stress, sleep. All of these factors affect fat burn and storage just as much as how much you eat. I lost 50lbs in less than 6 months eating over 2000 calories a day (and high fat) and didn't exercise at all. It is all about diet.
Been losing weight recently, I'm down to 2 meals, and relatively small, focusing on protein, I'm findiyit difficult to even eat 1200 calories now, I have never been this full in my life. Been doing this for a couple months, I'm not longer focusing on food anymore, weight is slowly but steadily coming off.
This dudes amazing i was 6ft 400lbs on the verge of being a diabetic a year later i was at 288 and i too had fallen off the band wagon and got back up to 350 found this guy a month ago and his advice through his videos has gottin me back at it back workin out back eating right down to 329 .. ive found if i eat a sensible portions of say oatmeal with some peanut butter powder and some cinnamon or a half cup of grits n cheese….psychologically i have more control of my choices throughout the day and dont feel like my tanks are empty.. because of him i changed my entire view of getting down to a healthy weight
It’s simple, eat real food (fatty cuts of meat, eggs and veggies if you want) and stay away from sugar and processed foods. They’re highly palatable and addictive.
Super interesting! I've probably learned more in 11 minutes than in dozens of other videos. When I started going to the gym my PT told me you need to make your muscles lean so they burn fat quicker. But seems like, at rest, that is hardly the case. I'll check out more of this guy's work.
The hardest part of losing weight is not feeling enough energy to work out and thinking I'm not eating enough. But then I can't figure out what the ideal balance of eating more and working out more is.
There’s nothing wrong with a slice or two of pizza at all, in fact it’s quite healthy, but eating a whole pie is a lot of calories, but people like to just gloss the entire category over and call “pizza bad”, no it’s not, your gluttony is bad
Why bizarre if we don’t crave for junk food? I am being bullied by people because I eat good healthy food. What is others problem? I am not asking them to. If they feel guilty it is their problem and not mine. Please let ppl who has their own way of eating also live. It is not a big problem if someone loves eating whole food and have no problem with. They are not gizzard nor do they have any psychological issue. Good lord! Good food doesn’t mean dieting.
@@pt8531 when I used to do clean eating I used to crave broccoli chicken and yams. People thought I was weird. I think it’s cause junk food is so normal in society they think anyone who doesn’t participate is weird. Just like working out people feel guilt and shame if they hear u talking about how u gym in the morning. It’s cause they’re not doing it
Dr Mike always talks sense. Don't focus on controlling your weight through exercise. Use exercise to get fit and strong. Use your diet to control your weight. I've heard this advise from him, and others, many times. 500 calories deficit per day is needed to lose 1 pound. Hence the 3500 per week.
My thought is cardio and enough of it will get the fat off. DISCIPLINE is the answer to any goal. People eat to balance out the emotions they don't understand.
Running DOES help with wieght loss. I understand the arguments against prioritising cardio over nutrition, but it neglects a few things. Firstly, as a smaller woman, cutting out 400 kcal a day with the same lifestyle either impacts the overall quality of nutrition or your enjoyment of food. You need a certain amount of micronutrients in your diet, and im not going to eat 3 portions of lentils and feel happy. I need more wiggle room so i can get all the iron, calcium etc i need, and also have a little sugar and fat in there so i can enjoy my food. On an 1400 kcal weight loss diet that is actually very hard. An extra 250 kcal a day makes it exponentially easier. Secondly, most people even those watching these videos are not going out for a 20 minute easy jog each morning. That is an achievable goal. Walking is a good start when you've been sedentary for a long time, but you can keep going from. I fit the same number of steps in running at an easy pace as i do walking in double the time. Cardio may be a smaller lever, but it may also be what finally gets you to achieving and maintaining your goals, particularly if you're a smaller lighting person that needs fewerr calories already!
I hear you. That makes sense. I also believe that weight lifting, with its addition of muscle to your body will actually increase your calorie usage every day.

We need to stop calling eating healthy foods a "diet". It's a normal lifestyle. Normalize eating foods you're supposed to eat. Eating foods that provide little to no nutritional value should be called a "junk food diet" or "stupid diet".
We could call it masturbation diet. You are eating it just for pleasure, you getting desensitized by it and loosing control and very fast its getting unhealthy.
I agree 1,000 %%%%
Agree food vs junk. And there is a lot of junk masked as health food.
Proper Healthy Diet.
OK, but carnivore, keto, veganism, etc aren't it.
Dr. Mike is a legend. Love this dude. Respect
Omg the part where he says if you fall off or have one mistake you give up resonated with me. I use to do that. Then allowed myself to make mistakes and not be perfect. Then I lost the weight.
I agree, same with me. Gotta gain some and lose some and live, but not give up to reach your goals after falling off. And after losing, maintain for a while and get back on track to lose again 🙂
This is exactly what my doctor recommended. I have a holistic doctor and he is awesome. I lost 10 pounds (i know i am lucky, that’s all i needed to loose) and my labs are now perfect. I eat what I want on weekends and back eating right the rest of the week. This worked for me 🎉🎉.
happy for you! do you eat small quantities of what yoy want on weekends or however much you want?
@@roomforthefiiixins2491I eat whatever I want. I am petite so I can’t eat too much anyway 🤣🤣
I know exactly what he talks about. I would be perfect for 3 weeks but then break down and have an entire pizza. I would feel like a loser for eating poorly but I eventually realized eating the pizza was essentially therapeutic. I felt better, my body got energy, and it launched me into bigger gains
What you could do is make a healthy pizza yourself, its possible, you can also eat a Pizza which where I live is about 1400cal, I need about 2200 (I am not a bodybuilder), so I would still have room for ablut 800cal of healthy nutritionous food
Eat a pizza slice everyday instead within your calorie deficit lol
INTUITIVE perception. You, in effect, performed a N of 1 experiment on yourself. Highly intelligent.
After being strict carnivore several weeks I had a piece of pizza, almost instant brain fog.
An entire Pizza is my "cheat day", first of the month, every month. Still down 95 lbs from where I started a year and a half ago. If you eat "bad" two, three days out of the month, it's not gonna damage your diet or even ruin it. Probably would've been about 10 lbs lighter if I had skipped the pizza and ice cream. But I'll take the pizza and ice cream I've had throughout my diet over 10lbs less any day. Because I'm still gonna end up at my goal regardless in the long run.
Great interview with Dr. Mike. I could feel the warmth!
That is probably the best dietary and exercise information I have heard. So succinct and easy to understand. This message needs to be shared with all of us that struggle with our body mass!!!!!
Comforting to know I'm pretty much dieting correctly according to this guy. Don't flog yourself over breaking your diet, just get back to it tomorrow, you're not a sinner. Miss the gym a couple of days this week? Go extra next week, but try not to do that often. The best thing is if you develop a real taste for fresh healthy foods, I actually prefer a great salad to greasy burgers and fries, it certainly makes it easier. Thanks for all the info, this guy is very rational about diets, habits, and the mind games we play on ourselves with something as difficult as dieting.
I've never heard anyone call breaking your diet sinning until this video. He's right about that mentality because it's always felt that way. This has made me feel so relieved and happy.
Don't "go extra" because you listened to your body and went easier for a week or two. The progress actually happens on rest days. You could take a week or two off every few months and see tremendously accelerated results. I do it with my athlete and non athlete clients all the time, have for over 30 years.
This is the first time I’ve heard this doctor speak. He’s good. The ideas he present are sound and congruent with nutrition facts I’ve learned. The way he presents is fantastic. He’s respectful, centred, mindful, calm, and receptive to this interviewer. I’ll be searching for more videos about him.
He’s my favorite health expert. ❤

Lol you have way too much time on hands responding to every comment complimenting Dr Mike.
No, he's my favorite!
I find Israetel challenging and reassuring at the same time. He's great to hear.
A lot of good info here. But the calorie burn from cardio is a little over/understated. He says 600 extra calories burned a week is a drop in the bucket, but it's a 9 pound difference over a year (600 x 52 / 3500 = 8.9 lbs). That's not insignificant and it only requires running 1 mile per weekday which takes less than 10 minutes and feels great. Not a bad deal!
This isn't to take away from his central message which is keeping your diet in check is the lower hanging fruit. Totally agree with that.
I love it you eat two donuts you got six miles to run that day it shows how you can't out exercise a bad diet. you burn more calories just by being alive than by exercising. I would say its 90 percent diet and only 10 percent exercise.
I don't crave for junk food. I need proper nutrition. That's what makes me happy. However, when I crave some bs, I have it and my body goes like, "okay, thanks". I don't diet, I have a healthy eating habit.
❤ and we are not bizzare as we enjoy eating real food.
Love Mike's awareness and how he changed his language to use British vocabulary. It's the little things.
I’m in ketosis. At last. After some hard work and lots of learning how to do it, I’m happy. I know that if I fall back into the patterns of eating foods I really enjoy, which are not sugar free or low carb, I will, inevitably, become that tired, sore, depressed human being again who has no energy for life. I don’t consider this way of living a “diet” and it’s possibly forever for me. At no point in my future do I see me happily eating through my third plate of Chinese food at the buffet. But it’s worth it to feel and look good after decades of hating myself.
I want to thank this guys started listening to him for a year and his advice top notch and guarantee results.
When I exercise, I find it regulates my appetite, and I crave healthier foods.
Exercising for health benefits is a great idea, rather than body weight.
Not me give me junk food
Body weight is also important. If you are overweight, you'll die young.
@@crand20033 I'm 60 .Just had health check everything comes back fine except 3 stone overweight I train most days. Lots of cairdo
10k steps with walking 5 km/h and not eating junk, 3 meals per day, max 4. And sleep 6-8h per day. Thats it. Works evety time. And NO alcohol.
Calories matter. Your 3 to 4 meals have to be in a proper calorie range. Not eating junk helps but you can over eat on “healthy” foods as well.
@@TheMightyOdin No, you can`t. I am actually doing this very successful every time I want to get very fit. It works perfectly , healthy and fast.
Keep in mind what you consider as "healthy" food may not be healthy at all. Even the dressing in the salad can actually gain weight rapidly. In this period you can also exclude the nuts, or eat max 20-30g raw nuts per day. You can eat pork and chicken - only baked, 3-5 eggs per day - only boiled, tomatoes, onion, garlic, cucumber, cheese, yellow cheese, olives and pesto. For dessert - apples - one per day. You can rotate the food variaty with SIMILAR vegetables.
@@TheMightyOdin You can't over eat on whole foods. Try over eating on vegetables like cabbage or broccoli, it's impossible. Heck even fried chicken is very difficult to over eat.
why max 4 meals=
@@danielkoman6947 Mostly - if you eat more times you risk to eat more than needed.
Second - your body needs time to process the food, some foods like prok, mushroomas and others need 3-4 hours and more to fully digest and you may not have finished digesting the previous meal and start a new one.
Third reason - tipycally you need to go to bed atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal and you need to train atleast 1-2 hours after the last meal. So you won`t have enough time unless you eat less and light food, but then you risk to stay hungry and mess with your blood shugar, insuline levels and train capacity.
Four - I`ve tried this and say if from personal experience. 3 meals ar optimal , but occasionaly you can eat 2 or 4 meals. For example - you have not trained today, you have lazy day in home and not hungry - 2 meals are fine. But when you have busy day and train - you can go for 4.
Health is about balance but we live in a culture that is addicted to extremes. Maximizing this or minimizing that is not a good way to enjoy life.
Yea, Just take Ozempic
I've also had the "I'm a sinner" mentality. I always try to do better the day after I "mess up," but I also build in an occasional meal where I eat something a little elss healthy every couple of weeks. Never a massive binge, though.
Lots of love from Texas for Dr. Mike!!!
Wow he made so much sense in this short video 👌🏽👍👏 and good questions / direction from the host 👍
finally, some deep philosophy around health - i hope he has challengers, but he's kinda killing here speaking to the general subjective. cheers and gratitude.
Mike’s a beast! Enter interview he does - I click!
Daily activity level also needs to be taken into account. When I was working construction, I was able to eat a ton of calories and just stay at maintenance. Now that I have a much slower paced job, I've gained about 25 lbs, and even though I work out, that extra weight won't budge.
N.E.A.T
I have the highest of respect for this conversation.
So basically, you don’t have to cut out carbs. Cheat a bit on the weekends. As long as you keep good eating habits in control and stay active daily, you’ll lose weight.
yep, I run and burn around 400-480 calories daily Monday through Friday, and drink and eat junk on weekends, I am able to maintain my weight that way.
Mike Israetel Head angles live rent free in my head 👽
muscles on his head got buff from the test, especially those on the temples
Diet and exercise fatigue are real.
I’m glad that Dr Mike is on this.He’s hit great advice but happy to admit when he was wrong, there are some people complain that his thesis for his doctorate has some dubious references but we all make mistakes. He’s an absolute legend
Shame Steven Bartlet is such a self obsessed bore , although admittedly a very successful one ☝️
10k steps is about 7km in walking. Eat protein. Limit alcohol and limit junk carbs
I even put collagen powder in my coffee. That's protein.
Just take Ozempic
@@iche9373 they got that stuff at my local trap house
Maintenance is actually trickier than losing. U can easily recomp at 20% but at 10% you don’t want to miss because u love ur physique but want to make strength gains. I do think maintenance is a good mental and tracking exercise.
I've watched tons of Mike's stuff, this is one of, if not, the best, segments.
This dude is rather knowledgeable after all...
Few things bring me more joy than an after hike beer and a burger
One thing I am finding is that a "clean" diet does not make me popular with the wife/child
I agree since its tougher to change your diet when around family members. The best solution - instead of changing your diet, limit junk food intake, and stick to working out everyday.
Be a good example. Sugar addiction is real. Don't make excuses to be unhealthy
Get a blackstone and meal prep 5 days of meals at a time.
FINALLY! Someone that knows what they are talking about. All these people that talk about diets like Keto or other methods complain saying soon as you come off it, you'll put it back on. This guy gets it! Once you get to a weight, you need to then maintain it! First person I have seen mention this compared to all these other people that make a living talking about diets and don't know what they are talking about.
As a perimenopausal woman, exercise absolutely makes me ravenous. Then I'm advised to intermittent fast just to keep from gaining. Losing weight is a pipe dream and I'm hungry all the time. Frustrating. :(
You're getting the opposite advice to what you need. Kate Deering has a great book with an approach that helped me during menopause tremendously. I've been a trainer for decades, she has as well, and the approach she uses seems counter intuitive but it lowers cortisol, improves sleep quality and overall stress, and then metabolism starts to pick back up again. Give it a look, see if it resonates. I wish I'd found it sooner, because all of my training and experience wasn't helping me once the hormones were slamming up and down all the time.
I stopped about 2 minutes in. Had to go see the full episode. Dr. Mike nd Doc Mike did a fantastic podcast!! Can't wait for this one!!
I allow indulgence daily in small amounts as extreme restriction causes bingeing!
Man Michael is changing the fitness industry and I'm here for it.
Very realistic and smart individual.
This information is so valuable! On point!
10:20 Mike forgot to mention that even though additional muscle mass does not really burn many extra calories, using them accordingly does.
Staring at myself in the mirror burns alot of calories
One pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day. Add more and you'll burn more at rest.
Sounds great! Though I wanted to push back on the idea of a kebab as junk food. I get a skewer with grilled chicken and onions and peppers about once a week and it is very healthy.
Can you please do a women’s specific DOACEO- Stacy Sims. Men and women are so different !

You can't outrun a bad diet
However, when you run, you can crave better foods
Than junk
I tend to
@@kathleenking47 I don't. I crave fatty greasy burgers, donuts, cake, cheesy burritos, etc.

Dr. Mike is the man.
Solid Advice. Love the interviews. Create a 500c deficit daily, maintain or increase activity and consistently crush weight loss goals.
Mike Just ran The gauntlet of podcast this past month
Control, and Discipline. Goal oriented, and sacrifice. that's the secret.
2:18 Thank you Mike I really needed to hear this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
One of the best practical advice ever. Thank you Dr and thank you sharing.
Stop drinking your calories - beer, soda, energy drinks, etc.
A bit of a click-bait title but still good information. I changed my paradigm on exercise when I started the ketogenic diet. He is so right. Exercise is a good addition for respiratory and muscular health but has little to do with fat loss. It isn't all about the calories. It is also about what you eat when you eat, hormones, stress, sleep. All of these factors affect fat burn and storage just as much as how much you eat. I lost 50lbs in less than 6 months eating over 2000 calories a day (and high fat) and didn't exercise at all. It is all about diet.
Been losing weight recently, I'm down to 2 meals, and relatively small, focusing on protein, I'm findiyit difficult to even eat 1200 calories now, I have never been this full in my life. Been doing this for a couple months, I'm not longer focusing on food anymore, weight is slowly but steadily coming off.
Yes! ❤ congrats
I was taught, "you can never out run your mouth"
This dudes amazing i was 6ft 400lbs on the verge of being a diabetic a year later i was at 288 and i too had fallen off the band wagon and got back up to 350 found this guy a month ago and his advice through his videos has gottin me back at it back workin out back eating right down to 329 .. ive found if i eat a sensible portions of say oatmeal with some peanut butter powder and some cinnamon or a half cup of grits n cheese….psychologically i have more control of my choices throughout the day and dont feel like my tanks are empty.. because of him i changed my entire view of getting down to a healthy weight
It’s simple, eat real food (fatty cuts of meat, eggs and veggies if you want) and stay away from sugar and processed foods. They’re highly palatable and addictive.
It is simple. And it's addictive. If you are addicted, it's not simple
A good example of simple != easy.
OK uncle Eddie 💪🏿😅
And it’s a lifestyle not a diet. God bless, live healthy!
Exactly! Bearing an addiction is not simple!!
Super interesting! I've probably learned more in 11 minutes than in dozens of other videos.
When I started going to the gym my PT told me you need to make your muscles lean so they burn fat quicker. But seems like, at rest, that is hardly the case.
I'll check out more of this guy's work.
The hardest part of losing weight is not feeling enough energy to work out and thinking I'm not eating enough. But then I can't figure out what the ideal balance of eating more and working out more is.
Look into keto/carnivore. You’ll be satiated without cravings, if you’re eating enough fat. Your body/brain both need fat.
Dr. Mike is the best.
Mike knows this and that for sure😊
This guy's head shape is so crazy
His head muscles got buff from roids. Especially his temple muscles (temporalis)
Great info,to allow your body to adjust and reset your metabolism for a couple of months
80/20 is ok! Have that pizza on Saturday night. Have half on Saturday and half on Sunday, with salad 😊
makes sense to me!😂
Try to eat less at night, that is also a key, my biggest mistake is midnight snacking, then all those calories turn into fat while you're sleeping
There’s nothing wrong with a slice or two of pizza at all, in fact it’s quite healthy, but eating a whole pie is a lot of calories, but people like to just gloss the entire category over and call “pizza bad”, no it’s not, your gluttony is bad
I do 4 days of deficit and 3 days of cheating it’s worked for me to maintain and even lost fat
If you’re in a caloric defici, it doesn’t matter when you eat.
Coffee creamer
Beer
Sugary Tea/Soda ....3 things if you cut out youll thin down
Why bizarre if we don’t crave for junk food? I am being bullied by people because I eat good healthy food. What is others problem? I am not asking them to. If they feel guilty it is their problem and not mine. Please let ppl who has their own way of eating also live. It is not a big problem if someone loves eating whole food and have no problem with. They are not gizzard nor do they have any psychological issue. Good lord! Good food doesn’t mean dieting.
@@pt8531 when I used to do clean eating I used to crave broccoli chicken and yams. People thought I was weird.

Dr Mike always talks sense.
Don't focus on controlling your weight through exercise. Use exercise to get fit and strong. Use your diet to control your weight. I've heard this advise from him, and others, many times.
500 calories deficit per day is needed to lose 1 pound. Hence the 3500 per week.
I follow the late John Meadows 90/10 rule. Ive been without fast or processed food long enough that I'll get diarrhea if i do.
This guy just spoke about me personally
Lap swimming burns 3x as much as running. I was burning 1200/day swimming 90 minutes
That sounds exhausting
He’s right!
Also, rhabdomyolysis is no joke! Over training can destroy your body and even kill you.
5 months ago, I spent a week in the hospital with rhabdo. I don't recommend it. My CK is still double the reference range. It was ar 50k
My thought is cardio and enough of it will get the fat off. DISCIPLINE is the answer to any goal. People eat to balance out the emotions they don't understand.
Running DOES help with wieght loss. I understand the arguments against prioritising cardio over nutrition, but it neglects a few things. Firstly, as a smaller woman, cutting out 400 kcal a day with the same lifestyle either impacts the overall quality of nutrition or your enjoyment of food. You need a certain amount of micronutrients in your diet, and im not going to eat 3 portions of lentils and feel happy. I need more wiggle room so i can get all the iron, calcium etc i need, and also have a little sugar and fat in there so i can enjoy my food. On an 1400 kcal weight loss diet that is actually very hard. An extra 250 kcal a day makes it exponentially easier. Secondly, most people even those watching these videos are not going out for a 20 minute easy jog each morning. That is an achievable goal. Walking is a good start when you've been sedentary for a long time, but you can keep going from. I fit the same number of steps in running at an easy pace as i do walking in double the time. Cardio may be a smaller lever, but it may also be what finally gets you to achieving and maintaining your goals, particularly if you're a smaller lighting person that needs fewerr calories already!
I hear you. That makes sense. I also believe that weight lifting, with its addition of muscle to your body will actually increase your calorie usage every day.
Needed that pep talk and information
