Me and my wife love your content. I went from 318lbs to 186lbs and now I feel like I am the master of my own body. Thanks for bringing health and fitness content that people can truly relate to.
Sober for 14 months, smoke free for 10, working out I love. Man food is hard, 5 out of 7 days I’m good. Those other 2 thought… hahahaha. Thanks for the episode.
As a medical student I’ve learned a lot from you. I am on a weight loss journey myself and I am so excited for every episode that it comes up! Keep up the good work!
Man after a few bad weeks and sinking into some bad habits. This was the sign for some focus points to get back on positive changes. Not giving back my work. Thank you all for the help. Development don’t stop.
“If you serve your cravings you’re not serving yourself” Boom right there! So much more than a fitness podcast. I genuinely feel like a better man after watching this and I recommend to everyone! Thanks for what you guys do keep, adding value
Your guys videos and podcasts have changed my life. In the last 12 weeks I have lost 25 pounds and only 5 lb of that has been muscle. I have been tracking my caloric intake and focusing on protein. I really loved it when you said a less-than-optimal but consistent workout is better than the perfect workout every once in awhile. I get in some sort of calisthenics everyday and I'm starting to transition into more gym style workouts. Thank you guys!
Boys! I bought a pair of blue light blocking glasses from Felix Gray because of you guys and damn these things do magic. Ive been feeling 10x better during the day and I don't have to take nearly as many naps anymore is crazy thanks! Id love to get after the super bundle ;)
Watching this 2 years later but this is such a valuable podcast. It's basically what I went to therapy for 2 years to learn. This is a cognitive behavioral therapy approach to dealing with cravings and impulsive behavior. The quality of your content is truly impressive and so helpful.
Hey guys, I haven’t been watching your show and shorter videos for that long now, but ai immediately connected to all of your content. After I separated from the Army, my weight got out of control along with chronic ailments from my service. The only thing that helped has been nutrition and resistance training, however I can never seem to get anything consistently right, so I always end up yo-yo dieting and training. Not only has your fitness advice been incredibly helpful, but each of your moral mindsets and deeper thought processes has really helped me when struggling with fitness, food, or life in general. I’m just now starting to treat my own body as a science experiment to truly understand how it functions. Thanks for all you do.
Guys I really needed this! My Achilles heel to fitness is my relationship with food. I can't seem to win yhe mental battle with food and no matter how much I listen to you guys I can't seem to break my habits and cravings. There seems to be a mental block and when you speak about getting stuck in a cycle, that's me. Work up too much stress so I stress eat which leads me to stress about eating. I need to break this stress cycle and the cravings I have should be included in that too. I am old fashioned enough to enjoy writing vs typing so I'm going to start writing about my stresses and my cravings. The mental aspect of health has become a problem for me but I'm going to use this information to help change that! Thanks for being life changing for people like me!
Love the new music in the intro!! 🎵 Listening to MindPump has been an awakening. Went from “cuts, bulks, cico, etc” to just living a healthy lifestyle, and is going fantastic! Really wishing to have a 1 year programming and just run MAPS programs 😅 Keep it up!! 🙏🏽
As an athlete and a personal trainer I love listening to your podcast. You always give great information to help all your listeners, from beginners to advanced lifters and have especially helped me with my work and training. Keep up all the great work guys!
Started the reverse diet a week ago and am astounded that I haven’t gained. So counter to everything we’ve heard. Energy levels are high and workouts are rejuvenating rather than tiring…… Anyone that didn’t jump on that Symmetry release, missed out on an incredible value! Thanks to you all!
I remember when I first found you guys I was in a dark place. You guys have taught me to enjoy working out and to have better form for longevity and comfort. I have also had a bad relationship with food and you guys have also taught me to break the cycle with that and to enjoy Whole Foods. I have spread your podcast with multiple people I know and have seen them take the advice you guys give generously. You guys are an inspiration and I’m so thankful for your experience and minds coming together to help the public. Have a great day guys.
I am exactly the same as you guys, boredom & definitely lack of sleep are big triggers for me, and also habits of having to finish your plate, growing up being told to eat everything on your plate, and that there's a kid somewhere that would love that etc
My husband used to annoy me with all these videos, now I look forward to them! 🤗 Thank you for all the wisdom you guys share it has helped a lot with my fitness journey and made it a lot easier!
Winner! Please email ann@mindpumpmedia.com with this episode number, a screenshot of your youtube profile, and the email you would like the bundle to go to!
This is one of the most important MP episodes I’ve ever heard! As someone who has struggled with disordered eating and an unhealthy relationship with food, finding Mind Pump and listening to the balanced advice you give is healing me. For the first time in probably 20 years I feel a healthier mindset and relationship with my body and my training and how I look. So I thank you so much, guys 💕🕉
hey guys, just wanted to say thank you for making my hour long commute actually ... enjoyable. I work for a nutrition company and my nearest location had to close it's doors, leaving my only other option to continue working with the company to include an hour commute north (i'm in jersey and parkway north/south traffic SUCKS lol). I nearly quit because the commute alone was dreadful, BUT I cannot relay this message enough ... I get excited for it now because it's my "Mind Pump time". You guys make me laugh, learn and feel relief while I commute. I've always listened to y'all, but it now feels like I'm literally friends with each of you (in the most not weird way - lol). Can't thank you enough for everything.
So much knowledge packed into one episode. Not stifling the feeling, but mastering the action. Fasting. Being self-aware. The list goes on. No debate, hands down, best channel on UA-cam!!! MindPump Crew thanks for all of it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!!!
Oh my goodness, how is that give-away bundle even real?! That would change anybody’s life…or any trainer’s career! You are all so generous and give so much to our community! Thank you for all you do! 💛💛💛
This is the #1 fitness channel on the internet or UA-cam. This is combining the science of fitness with the mental hurdles and emotional issues that people have to overcome to become healthy. Thank you for this great information you guys continually put out.
You guys are the best thing ever happened to me in the fitness industry. Thank u so much for everything that you do for people, sending lots of love and blessings for this project.
J have been watching you guys for the last few months, and I always wanted to stay fit, but never had the drive. Hitting my late 30's it has become a must for mental and physical health, appearance and just having everything in my life fall into place. I really appreciate y'all combined knowledge and experiences.
I absolutely LOVE this podcast. I listen to fun & gains with Brittany lupton and sal was a guest on her show this week. I quickly came over to this podcast and have been listening nonstop. Although I am a brand new listener- I absolutely love the content these guys share. I am so happy to have found a place to get dependable fitness information, as this industry is so sadly filled with misinformation. I am an avid cross fitter but listening to the content shared, I am real interested to try some of their programming and see how it can make a difference for me and my personal goals. In just a short 24 hours of being a listener I already have entirely new goals with my nutrition and style of fitness. I can’t thank y’all enough for educating us! Much much much love to you all!!!
As someone who has struggled with addiction this is an awesome episode. I really appreciate your guy’s candor and temperament towards those with food or other addictive habits. I totally support finding an action to help give that time break between the craving and making the choice to give in and indulge. Thanks again for some wonderful insightful content that flows with fitness and being healthy inside and out!
Relationships with food are one of the hardest things with fitness. You guys made amazing points, or cravings vs hunger. You need to understand the signals. You guys are awesome!
A little bit of a different transformation, but I wanted to let you guys know that the Arthur Brooks happiness episode really has impacted me in the best way. My boyfriend and I had been on rocky terms, and I was convinced that maybe we were just too different, and too much in different places of our lives. The part about how you approach your life really helped me see how I was sabotaging things between us. When Arthur talked about approaching things through a limbic system, amygdala focused approach versus a prefrontal cortex approach, but put it in terms of thinking and approaching with love, it finally clicked for me. I could justify saying that I was in a bad mood, or he did something to piss me off and that’s why unprompted, I talk to him rudely and got irritated easily. But when I reframed it in the sense of I was speaking to him in that way because of deep insecurities or anxiety that I was letting bleed over into our interactions that had nothing to do with the issue I was concerned about, I realized a good majority of it was me. And that’s humbling, but now the exercise I do when I approach him with something is “am I saying this out of love or out of fear, am I bringing this up out of love or out of fear, am I meeting him with love or with fear”. I have noticed I’ve gotten better at this concept with my life, regarding work and goals I have, not being scared to go after them. But having a childhood where my father was emotionally abusive or distant or dismissive, even manipulative, romantic interactions seem to be where I left it inside. Thank you so much for that episode, it really has changed my life.
I have been back in the gym and 10 months in I haven’t had any change besides the initial newbie gains. The Mind-pump podcast has been helping me find new perspectives and tactics to challenge common issues. Everyone keep up the great work, love everything you guys do!
Best channel out there. You guys constantly change it up each episode and it’s always so interesting. So many different approaches or ways to go about things and you guys nail them all. Looks forward to more and more content.
These videos are what i watch the msot of now, the little info tidbits you give help make all the differance. Thank you for your love and passion of fitness
Fantastic advice that is completely applicable to literally everyone. Appreciate the honest and authentic conversations week in and week out. You guys are changing lives. It’s very much appreciated.
Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this episode for a while! I have struggled with cravings for a long time. In fact, when I got off the keto diet 6 years ago, I had the worst trouble with cravings. It’s been an ongoing battle but after watching this episode, I’m more confident than ever!
Some of my go-to habits for curbing or handling cravings: 1. Parse out your snacks. I enjoy measuring out a serving (using a food scale) and bagging just that for my "indulgent" lunch snack, especially chips. 2. When snacking on junk food, I'll sometimes intersperse healthy snacks like carrots between bites. 3. Popcorn. I eat lots of popcorn and if I add butter, it's very little. Popcorn is super low calorie, light on the stomach, but can be very satisfying. 4. Eating sweet and salty together. This tends to satisfy cravings much faster. I can go on and on, but the MP team already gives you a bunch of great suggestions. Still, I hope these help whoever might stumble upon them! Also, I'm super active and generally eat pretty healthy, so I feel I have a little leeway when it comes to cravings. I'll indulge from time-to-time in a piece of chocolate or other sweet or a serving of chips. But I acknowledge it and don't go crazy, eating a whole bag or a dozen cookies or anything like that.
Hey guys, thanks for another kick ass episode! I've been taking a rest from an overtraining injury and just about ready to get back into it. This has been the longest break of my adult life New year, new outlook, new job, and now I need a new routine developed by some of the best in the business to make sure this overtraining BS doesn't happen again.
You guys are spot on with this episode....... as always! One of the best things I ever did to battle cravings was to face them head on through prolonged fasting. I will often do a 36 to 48 hour fast and during that time I come face to face with my impulses. Coming out of a successful fast is so empowering, not only on the nutritional front but in so many other areas of life. Thank you guys for looking out for the complete person.
Pickles are my go to snack if I just want to eat something. I have a giant gallon jar in my fridge so I will just grab one or two pickles and be on my way. Love the new set also guys , the back lighting looks great.
The new intro music makes me feel like I’m in like a superhero movie or something. It’s pumping me up. Mind pumping! You’re going to make me start listening to the podcast before my workouts to build up the intensity! Great start to the day!
Teacher - volunteered to start a staff wellness program at school next year (no money available). I'd be interested in hearing what components you think should be included in an employee wellness program. Your advice helps me so much! I will definitely be recommending your podcast!
Absolutely bang on guys! You can't run from cravings, you've gotta learn control them. Hands down you Blokes run the best fitness podcast aye, keep it up!
Mind pump is such an amazing UA-cam channel I would really love to see them start a city to city tour where people can meet and greet and listen live to a recording of a podcast. But until then, I’m clicking the like button!!!
This is exactly what I say to my patients regarding their substance addictions and how to deal with cravings. But, craving a drug is a different feeling than craving chocolate cake, etc. Well done.
If everyone could understand that craving doesn’t mean hunger, the world would be a much better place. Thank you guys for discussing this and so much more. Appreciate the content. 🙏🏼
have been binging this content for the last couple months and I'm learning so much. i'm currently an undergraduate health and exercise science major and beginning physical therapy school for my doctorate in july. some of the stuff you guys talk about is so applicable to the field of PT but not enough people understand these concepts! appreciate you guys talking about things from all angles and perspectives including different skill levels and even from a nutritional standpoint. no other podcast out there makes this content as appealing and as digestible as you so thank you so much for that!!! excited to implement some of this info into my clinical practices one day (and of course in my own strength training)!
New fan, I absolutely love this podcast. Can’t stop listening. I’m about to graduate college with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology in two weeks. Looking to get my personal training certification soon. Feel like I’d learn more from the MAPS programs than these certifications. Also I lost 22 pounds of fat and gained 4 pounds of muscle in the last 6 weeks. Down 75 pounds in the past 2 years. Not tryna brag. Just proud of myself for the first time
I have been out of fitness for past years. I stumbled into your podcast 4 days ago and i have covered over 30 episodes and boughts all the books you've mentioned in those episodes. You guys will be my go to in order to bring me upto speed. I have already made so many changes in past 4 days and i feel amazing! I will take that access to the bundle and post before/after results if you like!
I'm back to the fitness journey after 2 surgeries back to back. The one thing I'm struggling with is cravings. During the surgeries I had eaten whatever I wanted. Now getting back to the healthy side of things it has definitely rewired me with food. Great episode.
what has helped me determine if I'm hungry/low on a nutrient - vs - a craving is to identify what I'm wanting. For example, if it's something sweet, then any alternative like an apple or banana will satisfy my needs. But if it's something specific like a Mars bar... then I know it's a craving. How I manage that then is to make it a reward (not a punishment!) - what i'll do, is if i really want the Mars bar, I can have it after a run or 50 pushups... then it's a reward for the effort. And it helps, because sometimes I won't want it after the workout.
This is so true! all my cravings were connected to emotions or feelings and once I figured that out it really made a difference. Finding your podcast helped so much in my journey!
Guys, i haven't leg pressed for a while now, and focused on improving my squat form and I'm happy and gleeful to say that I don't hurt my back when I barbell squat anymore, increased the weight by 5kg just last Tuesday and the bar is even getting more comfortable on my shoulders. i may even be able to remove the towel i put there soon. Now the latest issue to attend to is the imbalance on my left leg. But frankly I'm confident that with just the free priming and mobility work, Imma improve that too 🙃🌄
Love the podcast. Been listening for about a year now and my perspective on personal training & training for myself has completely changed for the better. Thank you guys so much. About to finish MindPumo Aesthetics program and WOW. My physique has never looked better. Full body workouts are the way to go!
I’ve started the new symmetry program and reverse dieting and i am loving it! Cannot wait to see some results through this program and then I’m looking forward to trying the next one! I love yalls show and thank you for all the helpful knowledge and wisdom you share!
Morning mind pump brothers! I find with cravings that getting comfortable with the uncomfortable is part of my practice! If I pick up a bad eating habit during the week. Crunchy nut cornflakes being the flavour of last week, giving me euphoric recall of my stoner days. I found that the 24 hour fast I did yesterday reset my craving and I made much healthier food choices! Until my next bad choice to kick start the next craving. I'm good! Thanks for your content lads! Great start to the day. Have a good one mind pump brothers! Adam
I crave the super bundle, please don’t deny my craving. I would hate to replace it with something inferior. Keep up the great work! Love listening to you guys in the morning!
I have been feeling like I'm in a rut lately. I know i need to switch things up but I tend to hate change, even when i know it will help. Some new mindpump workout programs would probably help 😉. Your show has helped get me through so many gym sessions I can't count! Thank you for all you share. It has been so valuable.
Found you guys this year love all the content and especially the fact you guys back it up with studies. Have saved a lot of money listening to your show. Transitioning from being a pro hockey player and don’t know what to do for workouts I think this would be a starting point!
Absolute knowledge!! You guys keep bringing facts on a nightly basis.. My entire way of life has changed from listening to you guys for 3 years now. THANK YOU!
Loving the new lights behind you guys on the walls and the plants are new too I think - looking great! Didnt know that about drinking lots of water expells sodium - adding himalayan salt to my water for sure. Thanks.
Loved it! Just recently discovered you guys - I’ve been binge listening to your podcasts & learning tons. I could totally relate to a lot of issues you brought up, thanks for sharing solutions!!
If i start feeling run down or like I'm going to catch a cold.... here comes the cravings!!..give me all the taco bell, cereal, pizza 🍕 and donuts 🍩 .. Also, if my scheduled day is thrown way off plan.. my anxiety skyrockets. I learned this in therapy.
Hey guys, great episode! Hunger and Cravings (compensations) are different things, but the fact that while fasting we can survive and we have less hunger is because of hormonal adaptation, and it's not necessarily optimal. If we skip lunch, that's hunger, and in that short period, we indeed have catabolism (that's not necessarily bad). -not an expert, but check this out
I think my biggest problem is cravings. I know that’s what’s holding me back with losing fat but it’s hard to not give in. Thanks for these tips tho, I’m going to try them and try to achieve better results!
Just what I needed to hear. I drive around all day for my job and I want to eat every time I get in the truck. Now you have me thinking about why I want to. Super helpful! Also are sunflower seeds a good snack? And any tips on how to deal with post acl reconstruction surgery?
I never keep sweets etc at home, because I would eat nothing else until they´re gone. If I want some I can go buy some. I attribute that behavior to growing up with siblings, you gotta be fast to snatch you´re fav´s
For myself when I’m working out consistently it’s easier for me to resist the cravings and such. I think of how much work I’ve put in and I hate to feel like I’ve wasted all this time and effort for some stupid craving of some sweet dessert or something. Not that I completely eliminate things. When I’m not consistent I don’t care as much.
I learned to compromise. I loved sugar for a long time and found protein bars that are like candy bars and it takes away my cravings while keeping me on goal.
For me it’s the exact opposite. I struggle to eat, and I always have. Sometimes even my favorite foods will make me gage. It is just as much a struggle to deal with this kind of eating disorder than a food addiction. Working out is the only thing that has helped me. It makes me hungry, but on top of that I’m conscious that I have to eat, and it forces me to eat even when I don’t want to. I’m wondering if you guys have ever worked with people that have this particular disorder, and how did you help them to overcome it?
Me and my wife love your content. I went from 318lbs to 186lbs and now I feel like I am the master of my own body. Thanks for bringing health and fitness content that people can truly relate to.

I have craving for health and strenght! My reaction to that feeling is Super Bundle! 💪🙂
You do know that this is allot of muscle
@@krunchfn1684 You do know you spelled a lot wrong. 😏

What I find amazing is that no matter the content of the episode, topics, QUAHS, or live questions, I find value and gain knowledge in some way.

Man finding this podcast during the pandemic has changed my life man. Feel better everyday from the advice and still growing 🤲🏽
These videos are what i watch the msot of now, the little info tidbits you give help make all the differance. Thank you for your love and passion of fitness
Fantastic advice that is completely applicable to literally everyone. Appreciate the honest and authentic conversations week in and week out. You guys are changing lives. It’s very much appreciated.
Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this episode for a while! I have struggled with cravings for a long time. In fact, when I got off the keto diet 6 years ago, I had the worst trouble with cravings. It’s been an ongoing battle but after watching this episode, I’m more confident than ever!
Some of my go-to habits for curbing or handling cravings:
1. Parse out your snacks. I enjoy measuring out a serving (using a food scale) and bagging just that for my "indulgent" lunch snack, especially chips.
2. When snacking on junk food, I'll sometimes intersperse healthy snacks like carrots between bites.
3. Popcorn. I eat lots of popcorn and if I add butter, it's very little. Popcorn is super low calorie, light on the stomach, but can be very satisfying.
4. Eating sweet and salty together. This tends to satisfy cravings much faster.
I can go on and on, but the MP team already gives you a bunch of great suggestions. Still, I hope these help whoever might stumble upon them!
Also, I'm super active and generally eat pretty healthy, so I feel I have a little leeway when it comes to cravings. I'll indulge from time-to-time in a piece of chocolate or other sweet or a serving of chips. But I acknowledge it and don't go crazy, eating a whole bag or a dozen cookies or anything like that.
Hey guys, thanks for another kick ass episode! I've been taking a rest from an overtraining injury and just about ready to get back into it. This has been the longest break of my adult life New year, new outlook, new job, and now I need a new routine developed by some of the best in the business to make sure this overtraining BS doesn't happen again.
You guys are spot on with this episode....... as always! One of the best things I ever did to battle cravings was to face them head on through prolonged fasting. I will often do a 36 to 48 hour fast and during that time I come face to face with my impulses. Coming out of a successful fast is so empowering, not only on the nutritional front but in so many other areas of life. Thank you guys for looking out for the complete person.
Pickles are my go to snack if I just want to eat something. I have a giant gallon jar in my fridge so I will just grab one or two pickles and be on my way. Love the new set also guys , the back lighting looks great.
Thank you guys for all the great info. Has helped me so much in my fitness journey!
Intermittent fasting is the way to stop cravings.
The new intro music makes me feel like I’m in like a superhero movie or something. It’s pumping me up. Mind pumping! You’re going to make me start listening to the podcast before my workouts to build up the intensity! Great start to the day!
Thank you!! Definitely needed this! Been having horrible cravings the last few days.
Teacher - volunteered to start a staff wellness program at school next year (no money available). I'd be interested in hearing what components you think should be included in an employee wellness program. Your advice helps me so much! I will definitely be recommending your podcast!
Absolutely bang on guys! You can't run from cravings, you've gotta learn control them. Hands down you Blokes run the best fitness podcast aye, keep it up!
Mind pump is such an amazing UA-cam channel I would really love to see them start a city to city tour where people can meet and greet and listen live to a recording of a podcast. But until then, I’m clicking the like button!!!
The only reason i am studying at NCI,thanks MindPump!
This is exactly what I say to my patients regarding their substance addictions and how to deal with cravings. But, craving a drug is a different feeling than craving chocolate cake, etc. Well done.
If everyone could understand that craving doesn’t mean hunger, the world would be a much better place. Thank you guys for discussing this and so much more. Appreciate the content. 🙏🏼
Great video guys! Best podcast in the industry!! The content and topics lately have been straight fire and super educational and engaging. Keep it up!
have been binging this content for the last couple months and I'm learning so much. i'm currently an undergraduate health and exercise science major and beginning physical therapy school for my doctorate in july. some of the stuff you guys talk about is so applicable to the field of PT but not enough people understand these concepts! appreciate you guys talking about things from all angles and perspectives including different skill levels and even from a nutritional standpoint. no other podcast out there makes this content as appealing and as digestible as you so thank you so much for that!!! excited to implement some of this info into my clinical practices one day (and of course in my own strength training)!
New fan, I absolutely love this podcast. Can’t stop listening. I’m about to graduate college with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology in two weeks. Looking to get my personal training certification soon. Feel like I’d learn more from the MAPS programs than these certifications. Also I lost 22 pounds of fat and gained 4 pounds of muscle in the last 6 weeks. Down 75 pounds in the past 2 years. Not tryna brag. Just proud of myself for the first time
Also been doing intermittent fasting that whole time that’s why I commented it. Forgot that part. Kinda important
Best podcast in this industry 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have been out of fitness for past years. I stumbled into your podcast 4 days ago and i have covered over 30 episodes and boughts all the books you've mentioned in those episodes. You guys will be my go to in order to bring me upto speed. I have already made so many changes in past 4 days and i feel amazing! I will take that access to the bundle and post before/after results if you like!
I love the superhero music at the beginning now with the preview of what's to come in the episode.
I'm back to the fitness journey after 2 surgeries back to back. The one thing I'm struggling with is cravings. During the surgeries I had eaten whatever I wanted. Now getting back to the healthy side of things it has definitely rewired me with food. Great episode.
Absolutely love the channel. You guys are upfront and honest and that’s not something you see often in the fitness industry
Been watching your podcast for a while, thank you for making training easy
what has helped me determine if I'm hungry/low on a nutrient - vs - a craving is to identify what I'm wanting. For example, if it's something sweet, then any alternative like an apple or banana will satisfy my needs. But if it's something specific like a Mars bar... then I know it's a craving. How I manage that then is to make it a reward (not a punishment!) - what i'll do, is if i really want the Mars bar, I can have it after a run or 50 pushups... then it's a reward for the effort. And it helps, because sometimes I won't want it after the workout.
This is so true! all my cravings were connected to emotions or feelings and once I figured that out it really made a difference. Finding your podcast helped so much in my journey!
Guys, i haven't leg pressed for a while now, and focused on improving my squat form and I'm happy and gleeful to say that I don't hurt my back when I barbell squat anymore, increased the weight by 5kg just last Tuesday and the bar is even getting more comfortable on my shoulders. i may even be able to remove the towel i put there soon. Now the latest issue to attend to is the imbalance on my left leg. But frankly I'm confident that with just the free priming and mobility work, Imma improve that too 🙃🌄
Love the podcast. Been listening for about a year now and my perspective on personal training & training for myself has completely changed for the better. Thank you guys so much. About to finish MindPumo Aesthetics program and WOW. My physique has never looked better. Full body workouts are the way to go!
Great podcast gentleman! The science is in the compliance.
I’ve started the new symmetry program and reverse dieting and i am loving it! Cannot wait to see some results through this program and then I’m looking forward to trying the next one! I love yalls show and thank you for all the helpful knowledge and wisdom you share!
Great tips....love the idea of putting space between the impulse and feeling.
Good convo that applies to everyone in some capacity…great awareness points for listeners to consider.
Morning mind pump brothers! I find with cravings that getting comfortable with the uncomfortable is part of my practice! If I pick up a bad eating habit during the week. Crunchy nut cornflakes being the flavour of last week, giving me euphoric recall of my stoner days. I found that the 24 hour fast I did yesterday reset my craving and I made much healthier food choices! Until my next bad choice to kick start the next craving. I'm good! Thanks for your content lads! Great start to the day. Have a good one mind pump brothers! Adam
I crave the super bundle, please don’t deny my craving. I would hate to replace it with something inferior. Keep up the great work! Love listening to you guys in the morning!
I have been feeling like I'm in a rut lately. I know i need to switch things up but I tend to hate change, even when i know it will help. Some new mindpump workout programs would probably help 😉. Your show has helped get me through so many gym sessions I can't count! Thank you for all you share. It has been so valuable.
This was helpful for beer/alcohol cravings too.
Found you guys this year love all the content and especially the fact you guys back it up with studies. Have saved a lot of money listening to your show. Transitioning from being a pro hockey player and don’t know what to do for workouts I think this would be a starting point!
Absolute knowledge!! You guys keep bringing facts on a nightly basis.. My entire way of life has changed from listening to you guys for 3 years now. THANK YOU!
I have an addiction to this show lol. You’ve helped me become a better fighter and coach shout out to you guys
Loving the new lights behind you guys on the walls and the plants are new too I think - looking great! Didnt know that about drinking lots of water expells sodium - adding himalayan salt to my water for sure. Thanks.
Looking forward to learning tips about controlling my cravings!
Thanks Guys!! This opened my eyes to cravings..
Loved it! Just recently discovered you guys - I’ve been binge listening to your podcasts & learning tons. I could totally relate to a lot of issues you brought up, thanks for sharing solutions!!
Loved this episode, so
Much quality information that I can use everyday. Thank you guys
Thanks so much for all you do, I’ve learned so much from you guys!
Another epic show! Thank You
If i start feeling run down or like I'm going to catch a cold.... here comes the cravings!!..give me all the taco bell, cereal, pizza 🍕 and donuts 🍩 ..
Also, if my scheduled day is thrown way off plan.. my anxiety skyrockets.
I learned this in therapy.
You guys are are awesome. This is my daily dose of knowledge
Hey guys, great episode!
Hunger and Cravings (compensations) are different things, but the fact that while fasting we can survive and we have less hunger is because of hormonal adaptation, and it's not necessarily optimal.
If we skip lunch, that's hunger, and in that short period, we indeed have catabolism (that's not necessarily bad).
-not an expert, but check this out
I think my biggest problem is cravings. I know that’s what’s holding me back with losing fat but it’s hard to not give in. Thanks for these tips tho, I’m going to try them and try to achieve better results!
Health is more than numbers, more than science, it's how you feel. Ya'll taught me that 👊. Keep going strong!
I really love the content you provide, I think you are creating something big here. Thanks for everything.
I enjoyed the video, also the mention of not eating while watching tv, phone or whatever. As I sit here, eating, while watching this. Damn!
Awesome content. This is what I spent my free time on instead of video games 💪🏻
The knowledge bombs are one of my cravings!
I’m craving that Maps bundle. Supersized me.
Noticing the epic background music in these recent videos, it's a new kind of atmosphere to get used to lol.
Just what I needed to hear. I drive around all day for my job and I want to eat every time I get in the truck. Now you have me thinking about why I want to. Super helpful! Also are sunflower seeds a good snack? And any tips on how to deal with post acl reconstruction surgery?
I never keep sweets etc at home, because I would eat nothing else until they´re gone. If I want some I can go buy some. I attribute that behavior to growing up with siblings, you gotta be fast to snatch you´re fav´s
For myself when I’m working out consistently it’s easier for me to resist the cravings and such. I think of how much work I’ve put in and I hate to feel like I’ve wasted all this time and effort for some stupid craving of some sweet dessert or something. Not that I completely eliminate things. When I’m not consistent I don’t care as much.
I know is off-topic but we need a pre/rehab maps program from you guys!
I learned to compromise. I loved sugar for a long time and found protein bars that are like candy bars and it takes away my cravings while keeping me on goal.
For me it’s the exact opposite. I struggle to eat, and I always have. Sometimes even my favorite foods will make me gage. It is just as much a struggle to deal with this kind of eating disorder than a food addiction.
Working out is the only thing that has helped me. It makes me hungry, but on top of that I’m conscious that I have to eat, and it forces me to eat even when I don’t want to.
I’m wondering if you guys have ever worked with people that have this particular disorder, and how did you help them to overcome it?
