TD & Ben I would love to see you do series instructing different types of common weight and muscle issues. "If I were you" kind of series... What to eat, when to fast, how much to exercise, how much rest, which supplements support that persons (group ) 1.150 lbs overweight and have low energy. What you would do. 2. 50 lbs overweight low energy Etc
Great information ! I usually train fasted (2-3hrs bikeride). I use the short carb window immediately after that to replenish glycogen. It causes a very short glucose spike, and doesn't even kick me out of ketosis.
This was refreshing. I love how Dr Bikmsn answered to Dr. mike Israetel that you need carbs to build muscle. His take is consistent with current literature and my anecdotal experience. I would love to see them both debate hopefully in the coming episodes.
Great conversation 🎉so happy to have your expertise at my fingertips! I'm low down poor, so I couldn't imagine not having access to this invaluable health information ❤Thank you kindly, good sirs.
The issue i have with Ben's model of talking about human physiology is that it comes across like a series of switches which are on or off, all or nothing. Perhaps he can clarify, but it sounds like, based on how talks, if theres any insulin in the body theres no fat burning occuring which is simply not the case. I can use myself as an example, I eat over 300g of carbs per day after accounting for 70-90g of fiber daily and I'm currently losing body fat. Just an anecdotal example. Hall and Guo in 2017 meta-analyzed metabolic ward trials which modified carbs and fats by uo to 80% of daily energy and diets with higher carbs resulted in a statistically significant but clinically non-meaningful greater weight loss which goes againt the carb insulin model or the idea that carbs are not weight loss promoting or independently obesogenic. I believe the Cochrane group also compared a large number of trials looking at low carb and normal carb diets and found no difference between the two for weight loss. One can also look at endurance athletes who eat between 8-12g/kg of carbs in preparation for an event and they are also lean. Quality of carbs certainly matters most in general health with whole grains and fibrous carbs being the main carb source one should have each day. Consistent string evidence like the meta-analysis by Reynolds et al 2019 show a dose response effect with helath benefits and whole grains. Many other meta-analyses show dose dependent health benefits with more fiber had each day. Louise Burke and the ISSN have also done extensive work with carbs and exercise. Theres consistent benefit seen for preserving exercise intensity when consuming carbs between 30-90g/hour depending on intensity and event duration. Naturally a person trying to be generally health wouldn't want to consume excess calories in this case. I also disagree with Ben on his views with saturated fat and oils but thats a discussion for another day.
I listened with half of an ear - what I didn't hear was what does the overweight, insulin person do? Is it simply avoid carbs? As I fall into that category; I did a 5 day fast in the spring and lost no weight.
If that's the case you must have very high cortisol, do now low intensity walks. Get enough sleep and practice mindfulness. You may have to practice intermittent fasting and more saturated fat.
One 5 day fast might have just shocked your body, someone said high cortisol, that might have made it worse. Approaching the fast and coming off the fast are really important. Also changing long term habits might be more crucial if you have more than a couple pounds to lose. Personally I am doing. 5 day fasting mimicking diet once a month for a year for health, but am changing my diet and exercise habits for forever. I feel like I need the reset of the fast because of metabolic conditions, but the lifestyle changes are crucial.
there's not point avoiding carbs, its all about calories. but if you are very fat or been fat as a child (and have more fat cells) your best friend is a lot of walking. hours and hours of walking.
Serious question. I eat a banana every morning before I workout. I have half a serving of pre-workout and BCAA/EAA powder mixed with 20 ounces of water as I drive to the gym and begin my workout ( starting at 7:30 to 8 am). If I don't eat my banana I become exhausted 2/3-3/4 of the way through my hour fifteen to hour and a half weight training sessions. I then follow my workout with 40-45 grams of protein from Whey isolate and 20 grams from collagen peptides (10 am). I drink a recovery BCAA/EAA drink on my way to my office (10am to 10:30). I then don't eat until about 1-2 pm depending upon schedule. And eat most of my calories (macro'd) between 1 pm and 9 pm. Then sleep from 10-11pm until 6:30 am. Am I missing something?
Both bananas and protein trigger an insulin response. If you are metabolically healthy, it will do you no harm. But if you want to burn fat, exercising fasted would be more effective.
I always had bigger growth, power fat burning and stamina when pressing hard myself to exercise heavily with empty stomach, while starving, only drinking plenty of water. Makes mood better too. Don't know if it is relevant to the video.
question re- fasted training. Does having a coffee with either milk or cream impact this or should the coffee be had after training? Also what about taking "Fat burners" pre-training do these pose any benefit or is it mostly all just advertising ?
If you are power training, you will have to have glycogen. You will have to have sugar to be able to do it. Your fat will not be able to metabolize into sugar fast enough to keep up with this demand no matter what they’re saying that is not true.
I've been on a keto diet with intermittent fasting for 18m and often do resistance training in a fasted state. I'm 55 and since switching to fat burning I am building muscle like never before. Notice hypertrophy after every weight session. Seems I am proving that ketones protect muscle mass.
One doesn't need to do exercise fasted if they don't enjoy it. Fasted exercise is not inherently superior to performing exercise with some food in your body in terms of outcomes like weight loss, muscle gain, or strength gain. Unless you just like the feeling then that's fine to do. EAAs are technically calorie containing but evidence does suggest that if you're having a spike in muscle protein synthesis before a workout you may get slightly better adaptations. But this is hard to quantify in terms of muscle mass gained.
I kind of doubt that people, in general, are fasting...getting hungrier & hungrier & hungrier into the fast, and then BAM just binge on everything in sight until they are stuffed to the point that they feel sick. Un,uh - if anything, that scenario would be the exception, rather than the rule, imo. It does seem to be a fact that - during a lengthier fast - the highest states of hunger seems to occur during the first part of the fast. But as time goes on, hunger seems to decline during the last part of a longer fast. And when the fast is ending, they are very rarely in a ravenous state, imo. I've read alot in comments sections on health podcasts iver a period of about 2 years. From the comments that I've seen - my impression of the experiences people generally have during a fast is not as Dr. Bikman is describing! - and I just don't believe that the common reaction to a fast results in such a ravenous state, that breaking the fast entails overeating everything in sight to the point of feeling sick.
For years I eat 1 meal, dinner. I fast daily and work out HARD 6 days a week no fuel no food for 18 hours normally. I'm 45 and the most muscular guy in the gym
I didn't hear anything here that helps lose weight much less than drastically more weight. Sure he talks about someone who is overweight but for those of us that are eating a diet that we should be losing, yet are really maintaining, there is nothing. Still goes back to eat less, i don't need another expert telling me the same thing.
Is the woman obese, skinny fat or anorexic?? What is this person's health status? Is the woman 16 yrs old or 90 yrs old? So YES, some Must fast, others should never fast. Both can be correct. Context matters. Case by case, person by person. Nothing applies to everyone.
@Kristina-sv1fm it's still not something someone/ anyone can or should answer over the internet. They should have a full review from their doctor. Full blood work (in depth thyroid, cholesterol, hormones - the top 8, not just estrogen,...), physical review / exam, full and complete review of their diet / daily food volume and type (maybe they are already under eating), maybe they lack protein (fasting would not be helpful, they might need to do a protein sparing modified fast, are there digestive issues, are there any autoimmune issues, low libido, are there any vitamin or mineral deficiencies (fasting will not solve issues of deficiency),... Then a review of sleep, stress, hydration, sunlight exposure (sunlight is far more important than most people give credit), type of exercise / activity as well as level of intensity, and even family history.... "Generally" perimenopausal, active, 20 to 25% body fat female, 35 to 45 who gets 8 hours sleep, and eats correctly but not too much, with no health issue, all blood markers in range, avoids all alcohol and smoking, gets an hour or two of direct daily sunlight on the skin,... Would not need to be fasting and wouldn't see any real benefits. Sure if that person wanted to fast one or two day a month, no problem. Or, just consume correctly all days and the fasting wouldn't be required. For that person, fasting will not eliminate night sweats or mood issues or magically increase hormone levels.
I’m a huge fan of Dr. Bigman, but he does not have a handle on exercise in the uptake of carbs while exercising clearly I know with me on a low-carb diet. I need carbs to even keep my energy up. I am in end of war larger than I need to lose that I saw that I lose about 100 cards and exercise session but I try to take him between 30 and 40 maybe 50 cars when I take my blood I am much lower after I do that then if I don’t, there’s so many other things that Bikman does not understand when lifting in the effect that has on the body, your muscles are back in cleaners as I say in my book as soon as you start your workout and energy is required to the muscle that glucose will go to muscle not to storage your body or cause you to rise your insulin. This is a proven fact to me and I know to many others so what are you saying about? This is not true you can lose fatby eating sugar while you are working out.
Want to know the best way to lose weight and keep it off permanently? Fix your posture. Add all the things you want but if you core is twisted, it doesn't matter what you are taking! #fpisthestandard
Cyclists look really old for their age. Even when in late 20s and 30s. Must mean that even they can't our exercise the negative effects of their high carb diet, glycation end products etc.
You must be right, because all the centenarians, who ate bread and potatos all their life also look old. Heck, many of them look like they could be 100 or more.

I didnt unserstand a single word of this. Anyone got the notes for dummies?
Could manipulating insulin levels be the holy grail of weight loss, or is it too good to be true?

Is drinking EAAs also hampering the effect of "fasted" excercise?

How low does insulin need to be to lose fat?
Under 6. Fasted.
@@aurapopescu1875this is my finding as well. Insulin at higher than those levels, I'm burning muscle and even joint tissue.
