I was going Through a course for while going to school for nursing (anatomy and nutrition) when I came across your channel several years back and what struck me was how all of your info is back up by simple medical evidence. You so eloquently put all of the “deep” information so that it was easy for someone who wasn’t savvy to medical information to understand. Me and my husband love your content and appreciate the awareness you are shedding on a lot of material that many dare not explore for fear of failure. Much love ❤️❤️
@ThomasDeLauerOfficial The link seems broke. It says "The page you are looking for does not exist"
Have you turned against keto?
Thomas, u r really are clueless about diet. U pushed for new stuff and you hurt people in the process
@@RLeeErmy Same for me on my first try, but I noticed that the "Please" in blue is inadvertently included in the link. Just go to his website and add "/MediterraneanFasting" to rhe address, and it comes right up.
I've been an athlete for a lot of years. So I used to do regular hill sprints, burpees, sled work, stair runs, etc.. But trying to keep up that level of conditioning when you're lifting on a regular basis starts to take a toll on your CNS/recovery.
I feel 10x better with three full body lifts per week, tons of daily walking, and lots of mobility work. For me, stretching and mobility used to be like a trip to the dentist. But now I've embraced it daily.
**One thing that's been great for my hips is slow paced max incline walking. Every morning, I start my day with 30 min on 15% incline and 2.5mph. The goal is just health and continued hip mobility. Doing this in tandem with daily mobility work and a way higher step count has made my hips feel better than they have in years.
This is exactly what I’m doing I’m down to 180 pounds from like 211 I’m getting lean and muscular and I do 30min walking treadmill like you and 3-4x workouts a week. My goal is to look like a ufc fighter I love how mcgregor and other physique look. I’m about to go down to the mma gym and learn the fighters imo are the most in shape how the human body should look. Not big and bulky and over fed. Lots of cardio stretching mobility and weights lots of protein moderate carb and fat and plenty vegetables is working perfect for me can’t wait to see results in another 6 months going to be ripped
THANKS for the great tip! I'll start doing that incline walking tomorrow. 😊
I was embarrassed to read labels in the grocery store when i 1st started paying attention to my diet.@ 560lbs i thought people would laugh at me counting calories and later carbs. Now 18 months later @415lbs. Ill read every label and compare every product in the aisle without a care. Dont be embarrassed to care about yourself EVER!! You can do it.
I was tired all the time and finally found out that I’m prediabetic… I started fasting and going keto/carnivore and I feel so much better
My sugars are high and I'm terrified of becoming diabetic 😔 I did keto before and it is not easy my goodness 😭
Great job! So sad that you were in such poor health and now have to have such a restricted diet. You inspire me to keep myself healthy, so I don't have to do that. At least you didn't let it go until you were gangrene in one of your legs like both my grandmothers did. I started taking care of my health in my early 20s because of the suffering that I witness from my grandmothers. Unfortunately, now you'll have to follow yourself for heart disease and get your CAC score every few years.
@@leticiacarrillo4606You don’t have to eat Keto just eat less carbs and eat more animal foods.
Problem with us today, is we eat too much, too frequently.
If we can have targeted insulin increases, and not a constant insulin increase all through out the day, that would work better overall.
More fibre with our energy, to help put a dampener on it. Zero out processed foods, only eat the living, and avoid anything that disrupts the endocrine system, because an androgen deficiency for example for males, will substantially increase type 2 diabetes risk.
@@ailfawka6278 Too many carbs. In nature you would be eating a ketogenic diet by default.
"What diet is gonna help you make it through the day" Boom could be a lot of diets but this is GOLD!
absolutely! no one says this they always want to give overweight people a set "plan". As a trainer Im going to do things differently when clients ask
Survive the day or thrive the day though
Mark's passionate rant was truly compelling. I resonated with everything he shared. Thomas, thank you for allowing him to speak freely and for keeping the conversation flowing, even though you likely had more to add.
I don’t worry about natural saturated fats. I do try to avoid seed oils. I think seed oils are worse for insulin sensitivity.
Injectable testosterone is in seed oil.
@@user-xf3zz7om8r does that mean it's as bad as ingestable seed oils?
100% with you. I gave up all oils, including olive and avocado oils... this is my first week.
@@TheConpuentes you put it directly in your body it's even worse..
"I think"
Two greats. Thank you both for all the information you guys provide
A simple trick: Go zero carb until you reverse your insuline resistance completely and then introduce some fruits and some grains maybe.. When youre insuline sensitive again and free from carb addiction habits, you will be able to moderate your carb consumption like normal ppl. Otherwise, it is really really hard for a carb addict to reverse insuline resistance and lose fat (esp belly fat) while on a diet that includes carbs and sugar even if its only fruits and complex carbs. Your body has to learn to be metabolically flexible and heal both physically and mentally before being able to “moderate” and live on a sustainable mediterrenean rich diet..
the great charles Poliquin used to say all my athletes can have carbs once they deserve them... deserving them is defined as having 6 pack abs. only then could he manipulate insulin for performance.
Grains? No thanks
I’ve never had a carb addiction but I do like to have an apple, a banana, a baked potato, or some combination of that. Some days I’ll go without and it’s noticeable how I feel the next day.
Very simplistic thinking .. also not accurate
@@BishopGSD the great Charles Poliquin died in his 50s. He was also mostly full of shit when it came to diet. as someone who took all of his courses, I view him as a snake oil salesman. The amount of dishonesty that came out of his mouth was unbelievable. I had to spend years unlearning the things that he taught. You can get as lean as you want eating carbs.. stop believing nonsense
Paul Salidino’s diet works if you surf and workout 4 hours a day
and believe that u are a monkey and swing from trees
Yes, and if you are an ectomorph with a high metabolism
Or you're a 140lb man
I surf and workout all day
It still works if you sit on your ass all day, just lower the calories
I remember mark from about 15 years ago, I’ve always checked in his channel a few times a year, and I still use my slingshot, still works after about 10 years of training with it. He has matured so well. Really is an intelligent and thoughtful person with a wise head on his shoulders.
Yea I use a slingshot any time I bench super heavy. Saved my shoulders.
Slingshots are cheating!
Always great to see Smelly! His method of a jog helped me find that I could still do some level of a run after 50.
Mark , I've been following you for year's and watched your films. I gotta say, i found a new respect for you staying humble and helping redirect our youth on what's really healthy and not.
This is SO fascinating, thanks so much, you two blokes!👌
Great interview. It's refreshing to hear Mark say he's changed his view points over the years on nutrition. I have had great success losing body fat using both IF and Keto. They are both great tools to have in the toolbox, but they are not tools that need to be used each and every day to see fat loss. It all comes down to finding a so called "way of eating" that you can be consistent with, that you can see results with, and most importantly one that you ENJOY!
Smart and nuanced. Very unusual for the internet but much appreciated.
I really enjoyed this interview. Such practical, helpful tips and thoughts. So refreshing.
I find all these debates on proper diet comical. It’s simple, eat the things God gave us to eat (meat, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and some fruit) and don’t eat what man creates. Simple. Human beings have a high tendency to over complicate everything. We may be book smarter, but we have lost our common sense. Life is really not that complicated.
💯 ❤❤❤
But all our Whole Foods are pretty much man made. It’s called domestication and agriculture. The cows we get milk and meat from are nothing like the cows “god gave us”. Humans have modified those animals heavily. This is true for most fruits as well. You cannot find softball sized Honeycrisp apples in nature or 10 inch long bananas. So I think what you want to promote is whole, NON PROCESSED foods.
This, skip all that crap in boxes at walmart.
First testament God commanded us to eat cliven hoofed beast and fish. Where Jesus came in with the bread and grap juice is beyond me.
@ilmostro16
Yeah obviously..everyone understood his point. You didn't add anything. Just patting yourself on the back.
Exposure to different nutrients and “diets” is key! I completely agree!!🎉
Nah
Being metabolically flexible is a huge bonus. "Listen to your body." Stop overthinking how you fuel you body
Quite insightful interview. Thanks to both of you 👏 👏
Such a helpful video! Thank you Thomas.
Great conversation! For me, avoiding all ultra-processed foods and added sugar is the only strategy that has given me a body to be proud of. I have exercised consistently since age 12, turning 55 soon, but it is the elimination of UPF/added sugar that has kept me fit and belly-fat-free with skeletal muscle! ❤
Yeah, but when cake is reduced at the store, specially really good cheesecake, you should buy it. The endorphins and happiness you get from lovely fun food can make you live 5 extra years if you're healthy. So we've got to eat some delicious shit sometimes lol
And reducing carbs
@@sixfeetwonder_Nah
@sixfeetwonder_ I know this might be hard to believe, but I don't miss or crave that stuff. After eliminating added sugar from my diet, I don't want it, and I used to be addicted to sugar. Almond butter with no added ingredients is what hits the spot for me nowadays.
@@rachelmcgill8143 lol I eat once per day, avocado, eggs, and 300g of meat. Spinach sometimes too. I eat 250 grams of blueberries every night. No carbs. I never drink alcohol. And I go without desert for months that way. But if a cheesecake is on sale I'll binge. Still thin as f. Seems silly not to haha. But happy for you anyway :) keep at it
Great message!👍
😊 Wow, this was a fantastic interview. Love how Mark isn’t afraid to speak out about changing his mind.
this is marks best interview and its the most concise ever esp the first few mins cuz thats where im at writing this its amazing
I so agree with this concept! I have been on a low carb diet for over 4 months, loss 21 lbs. Also fasted for 1 month in March and dry fast twice a week. I think eating some carbs work for me , wholefood carbs. I started getting this pain in my head when my carb intake was lowest. Started to eat a about 30--50 grams more carbs now and then and I suddenly realised the pain has gone. You have to know your body and what works for you. I am not diabetic, no hbp etc. At 62, I am just trying to mitigate health issues , generally. I think I have found that niche, that sweet spot. like Thomas said, sometimes we really want to hold on to a certain way of eating for fear that changing things a bit will throw us off. I am only 5 months into this diet and I feel this way. I wont say I am keto, I am just very low carb. You have to find that balance. I eat one fruit if its available, less fat, normal protein and less carbs. Most of my fat comes from my my protein intake. I feel good. NO diet will totally prevent you from getting sick. Lots of other factors that contribute to sickness, but it will sure help your body fight off and lessen the impact of diseases. This is my humble opinion. Btw, that advice on planning your day and activities is excellent. It really works well. Keeping active helps you to eat less for sure! EAT LESS, EAT ALL THINGS MODERATELY!
Great convo
Great episode!
I appreciate Mark for sharing his wisdom on the fitness addiction I don't think it's talked about enough. And I appreciate Thomas for keeping an open mind and letting him share without getting super defensive. Great job fellas.
it's definitely a "thing", i was overtraining hugely when I was 29/30 about 6 years ago before kids, most days twice a day before and after work. injured my shoulder and has never fully recovered as I was just training through it and the pain.
@@25johnlowe Yea and also there's a lot of toxic masculinity online to feed the addiction. Sometimes pain means actually stop. Whereas a lot of people teach you to keep going and you possibly do more damage to yourself
@@mmatrix3998 Yeah agreed. Although I can't say with me it was that nexessarily. Very nice gym culture at my gym but I just had lots of time and loved going.
I am 61. Almost 62. I lift weights but only 2-3 days a week. I am carnivore. Two years. I eat ribeye, bacon, eggs, butter, sour cream and occasional pork and chicken.
Since going very strict, I note that I am in Ketosis now every day. I also take L-citruline, vitamin c, magnesium, potassium, and I use a zero carb electrolyte. I eat no carbs at all. Butter is my go to snack. Sour Cream is my second go to. I am down to one heavy meal and just fats for any cravings. I do consume coffee.
I am not fat looking but know I have visceral and subcutaneous fat. Dr O'Mara says that sprinting is a great way to remove it and so I have started to spring as often as I can. I don't like wasting a ton of time doing cardio, but I'll hike uphill on the treadmill for 20 minutes before lifting weights. Gym time is about an hour of focused exercise and very little standing around.
I believe I am in a recovery that will take several years to reach optimal health. I was pretty sick for a lot of years. Walking sick. Autoimmune issues. All gone but for one issue, fatigue. I've had fatigue issues for about 3 years now, well before carnivore. I believe it is a result of the vaccine tbh. My latest focus is on good sleep, and continuing working out. I noted at 61 years old I cannot afford to stop because muscle wastes so quickly it's scary. I am 6' and weigh 224. Have a 32 waist and moderate frame. I feel the sprinting helping, and am getting faster and feel like the visceral fat is going away.
Age better. I think carnivore is the best diet I have ever had. I tried many before this and none of them worked for me. You are right, convenience is the issue for most Western people. Carnivore takes away the desire to eat, so it really is hard to over eat. I eat between 1800 and 4000 calories per day. Every day is different, but I listen to my body.
This was great, common sense but most people don't know this information and need to hear this
I love when I KNOW FOR SURE turns into I WAS WRONG but NOW I KNOW FOR SURE! Lol. It’s almost comical how much “science” changes. Even though science doesn’t change
That’s why I never trust people when they are extremely confident. They don’t know what they don’t know. If you know what I mean.
@@shelfcloud487 exactly 👍🏼
He's not saying that though.
From my experience; when someone thinks their way is the only way, I'd steer clear. Health requires dynamic, personalized approaches. Because we are all so unique in our make-up. There are some common ground which can be a starting point, but beyond that we need to dig deeper.
@@starwarsbunker science constantly changes and trust that it does the more studies with the same outcome can be more of a confirmation but not much of anything is ever 100% remember that covid thing and all the "bs science" wasn't time tested
Lost 45 lbs on keto and felt great. Started getting insomnia, resting heart rate stayed in the 80s, borderline prediabetic even after reintroducing carbs.
After two years, tried low fat, insomnia gone, prediabetes gone, resting heart rate in the 60s.
N of 1 but the most important data point is your own.
I go super low fat and heart rate goes down to 40-43 at night. This was after keto for 18 months. Now I keep saturated fat super low and eat poly-monounsaturated fat from nuts mostly with moderate whole food carbs with great results overall. On vacation we splurged on pizza and some other saturated fat and it wrecked me for several days with wild swings in glucose.
Yep we all got to experiment , everything has merit. I have never been able to do keto/carnivore longer then 2 months . BP goes way up and electrolytes get so out of wack. I really don’t think it’s a long term diet unless you have health issues that are a huge motivator.
I have conflicting views about it, cause some evidence suggest that we are so primed to be fat eaters . But on the same token, nearly all wild animals are very lean, so I’m curious how he would’ve gotten buy online meet as a high-protein ketogenic diet does not work. Nonetheless it’s all interesting stuff to think about an experiment with.
@@Saundersstrong good points. Beef today is processed in respect to bred for high fat. Perhaps dairy is naturally high saturated fat. Mom's milk is a short term diet. Keto was a short-term way for me to lose weight, but hurt as I reached my ideal size.
Animal fat is more creator of diabetes than carbs not to mention slow carbs that’s called starch
@@RobCGilliam my type 1 diabetic son gets massive insulin resistant as soon as he eats saturated fat. This doesn't happen with other fat sources
I feel better with less carbs
was it processed carbs or whole food carbs? and be honest here
@@commenting4love Less carbs in general no joke my high blood pressure went down
@@josemama1 one can eat whole food carbs or processed. stopping anything processed will make you feel better. I think some whole food carbs make me feel great is my point
@@commenting4love Yea no thanks not for me
But was it the lower carbs, or the lower calories resulting in weight loss?
great to see Mark on, he has a great approach on health 🙏
Great interview 💪
Watching now. Thanks for sharing today
Thomas, you've had my respect for some time, and it's a great treat to see you and Mark chat it up. I have gotten so much from both of you so it's a real treat to see this.
Very interesting experiences told by an honest guest. Everybody has to find his own way at a specific time in a health journey.
I'm a fellow fat kid used to be fat guy...26:37 YES! people used to hunt and gather all day for one meal, and sometimes go with only a few hundred calories or zero calories for days. The abundance of food and highly processed food is hijacking people's will power over food.
YES . This comment !
Yes! This! Original!
no the gathering would be snacking there would be zero collection for a big meal bugs fruits etc... would be instantly consumed stop pretending like you have a clue
@@Rockwellsfighting14The point is, food wasn’t available 24/7/365 like it is now and fasting was a way of life, not by choice. Today, people eat all day and night. Why? Because they can.
I've seen so many diets work for so many. None worked for me. My last go around was the Army Wellness Center and going through their testing and programs. In two months I gained 20lbs. First month down they told me eat more, but I physically couldn't without getting sick. So I kept trying to eat how they told me to and workout how they told me to. Second month I topped at 20lbs. I said that's it, I'm doing it my way. I dropped that weight but caused arthritis in my foot to get so bad I got pretty crippled up and that's about where I stalled out again. It wasn't until I went against all my doctors and nutritionists, Army and VA, and started keto that I was able to start dropping weight and improve my health. I even dropped my BP 30 points and stopped taking one of my meds. I finally found what works for me and it was because of UA-cam channels like this and friends who've tried it.
Great to watch you gents 🤩
Thomas i really enjoyed your interview! It was very helpful! Thank you for this.
Like usual, knocked this episode out of the park! No need for click bait titles, just say DeLauer and Smelly.
It’s ok to change your mind, that’s progress. Everything is subject to change
My genetics decided for me, worn out joints pretty much fixed my weightlifting addictions.
I quit carnivore/butter and all fats. I am eating super lean protein(chicken breast, lean pork, fish, egg whites) and high fiber vegetables only. As soon as I did this I broke my year long plateau, plus I dropped my cholesterol by 53 points. My macros 18% carbs, 66% protein, 17% fat. I walk 15k steps minimum 20k maximum, plus I weight train.
If you're eating lean protein and high fibre veg only, how is your fat intake 17%?
Your Hormon Levelsmust be really bad
@@viking933lol sure
@@richardmiddleton7770
fat - 9 calories per gram
protein - 4 calories per gram
So if you ate 90% lean meat, that 10% fat still has over twice the calories. So let’s make it easy and say you ate 100g. That’s 90 x 4 = 360 calories and 10 x 9 = 90 calories. That’s 20% of the total calories from fat with 90% lean meat. 90/450 = .2 or 20%
Carnivore 6yrs now. Feel great. My "cheat days" are basically I just eat cheese one day a week at my grandmas
Ive enjoyed his humble and honest talk❤
Mr Bell would not have lost the weight he did with carbs. I agree ultimately being somewhat flexible in diet is best long term. But only after you have healed or lost weight you needed to.
Exactly. Do what you gotta do and then reintroduce things little by little to see how things go.
After reading Dr. Price's book about human nutrition, I realized what the perfect human diet is.
That’s what I like fasting. All kinds and all time range.
Mark has leveled up
Small changes that are sustainable. The changes have to be integrated into your life.
It's about finding what works for you 💪
So much common sense here...one of your best, Thomas.
Great conversation, learned a lot.
One thing NO one ever brings up is the amazing human capacity to adapt to food sources granted a popultion maintains their level of activity to activate epigentics.
Consider the Aztecs and Amerindians who use horticultural techniques to raise both the starches and the bioavailability (nixtamalization) of maize! Or the first shepherds who would force their bodies to utilize milk as a nutritional powerhouse. Heck, ocean bacteria and small organisms have adapted to metabolize the plastics we have polluted the ocean with! No matter which diet you try one key factor is to always ALWAYS move and/or exercise. Fascinating stuff.
& that in areas with long histories of starch based diets, many people have up to 15 copies of the salivary amylase (starch digestion) gene, whereas some other people may have as low as 1 or 2!
Thanks for this interview. I like very much Mark's consistency after the years. He does not jump from one diet to another but he notices what works the best for him.
‘Dude you are eating way too much, what diet etc can enable a calorie deficit’. Like it
That’s the simple way of saying it for sure !
ua-cam.com/video/BFLt9RXY0ww/v-deo.htmlsi=O5BdEYvxnXXqY2JI
Keto worked for me for two years when I started. Maybe there were other factors involved that I wasn’t aware of. It doesn’t work anymore because now I can easily overeat keto and carnivore foods. This leads me to the conclusion that it’s truly about cals in cals out. I eat a lot of carbs now and keep my protein moderate. I limit fat but not completely. I feel the best this way and my body seems to agree. I’ve also added high intensity cardio a few times a week and since I have enough muscle, I only do resistance training once or twice per week. It works for me maybe not you. I’m a big person and have no problem gaining or keeping muscle. I utilize high intensity horizontal resistance training when I do weights.
I did carnivore, and keto, fasted down to the bone. Nothing made me feel as good as having carbs in my diet. The more I eat whole foods, the better I feel and with less of a desire to binge and eat trash.
If you had to lose that weight again with all this new knowledge, how would you do it? I keep binging every 3 - 4 days because I really love whole food carbs
@rachelbrondel5858 Well, I can tell you that as of right now, my current mindset has shifted from "losing weight", to building muscle instead. As soon as I changed perspective, it became a lot easier to not worry about fat loss. I'll also add that, I did those diets because I was impatient, and wanted results immediately. Which led to increased cravings and the inevitable backslide. Aside from all that (and maybe I haven't even answered your question at all) if you're binging every 3-4 days, look to see what kind of nutrients you're getting, and what you're lacking, and adjust accordingly. Find whole foods that you enjoy, and then stick to those. Not sure if this rant was helpful at all 😅
@@julianm.7157 yes it's helpful and I think my problem is mindset. I'm not even hungry when I binge, I just get in a trance and eat fast without even knowing what I'm doing. It's like I get a fleeting sense of comfort from a full belly that quickly turns to guilt and regret. But I'm sure it's all in my head. I've just got to break the cycle
@rachelbrondel5858 Totally understand. Nothing wrong with a full belly! However I personally believe that the overall lack of binging comes directly from feeling satiated from the whole foods that I consume. Which seems like such a no brainer when you say it out loud haha. This is coming from someone who's had a horrible relationship with food for years. Something I do if I want guilt free snacking is finding recipes that mimic the real thing. Such as cookies, crackers, pizza, etc. By no means do they compare to the real deal, but it can help feel less guilty 👍
he can add stretching to his exercise eg if 2 days per week weight lifting, do 3 days yoga/stretching/pilates
this is what i do
Reduce ultra process foods, eat your protein, eat more fruits and veggies... it's a good start.
My ALT level went up doing too much fat. Results last week. It was normal before that, I am going to eliminate all fat for a while and see if it comes down. Definitely overeating both meat and fat on carnivore. Wasn't fat externally really. Great video, I was not moving around enough here in the cold Midwest. I really feel my liver was being overworked, maybe having even to have to work harder to turn the fat into glucose for energy. My glucose A1C went up .3 pts, and up .2 points a year ago. I starting introducing broccoli at first meal, way more satiated now. I was totally overeating the meat, emotional eating it even.
true stuff at least here too. ALT went to 47 after 18 months on keto and LDL 175. Plant-based with almost no saturated fat for 3 months and ALT back in the 20s and LDL down to 60. High fat almost always means high saturated fat and it is not good.
@@RobCGilliam Thank you for the input. My doctor didn't have a clue, my alt went from 47 a year ago (after carnivore for about a year) to 67 last test. She put in a consult for a type of liver scan, but I'm not going to pursue that just yet. I won't stop fat completely (I going to just eat macadamia nuts monounsaturated fats every few days), as I want my bile to still flow (bile contains toxins and it in necessary to dump through the digestive tract to expel them from the body).
He’s absolutely right we are really not made to be this big we should look more like a beach body style maybe a little bigger
Looking at different tribes, they rarely look muscular. They look lean and strong and agile. All of them base their diets around animal products.
Wow, very great stuff. Balance isbthe bottom line here, which means making adjustments daily, hourly! This is timely. Been following Delauer for six years. Lost 56lbs following him, kept it off. I feel like we're all growing through information together.
My fat consumption has been very drastic, I'm starting to realize, to my detriment, even though I've always focused on olive oil. Layne Norton says he changed his mind on HDL and saturated fat. So, I'm going to be more careful.
When did he change his opinion of saturated fats?
This is got to be the best dieting video I have ever watched
I feel great with my dairy-free carnivore adjacent lifestyle that allows for an occasional treat. No calorie counting BS required.
For me, low carb OMAD. Call it 20/4 with some nuts later.
I find fasting during the day really easy and if I skip one meal a week and go 44 hours, weight control isn't hard. Maintaining muscle isn't so easy because I don't enjoy the process.
Thomas - can you elaborate on the carbon chain and saturated fats point? You mentioned odd number Carbon Atoms are healthier than even number. I did a quick google search and here's what I'm seeing and you'll understand my confusion - almost all are even number:
*Stearic acid*: 18 carbon atoms long
*Palmitic acid*: 16 carbon atoms long
*Myristic acid*: 14 carbon atoms long
*Lauric acid*: 12 carbon atoms long
*Capric acid*: 10 carbon atoms long
*Caprylic acid*: 8 carbon atoms long
*Caproic acid*: 6 carbon atoms long
*Butyric acid*: 4 carbon atoms long
*Propionic acid*: 3 carbon atoms long
*Acetic acid*: 2 carbon atoms long
He is probably talking about the new C15 sensation. Look it up.
The light in the background on the right hand side of Thomas is too bright. Especially when I watch it in the dark hours. :)
Great content btw. Thank you :)
For those stuck on Carnivore/keto like I was…please try going high carb low fat (10g max). Try it for a week at the minimum, total awakening. It’s hard to change but if you’re still not happy with the amount fat on you and your energy levels then give this a shot. Once you are as lean as you want then fat can be added back in higher doses. The weight will slowly come off with ease. Be patient.
@andrem7198 i feel the same way but switch the carbs for fat. but whatever works for you 💪💪
@BishopGSD if you're not 'stuck' on keto/low carb then that's fine. Give it a while and your fear of carbs will become an issue. Then you can try what he's suggesting, he is correct.
@BishopGSD I agree, keto and carnivor helps me stay in a Def. It helps me stay full and satiated all day. So I can do like one meal a day easier on keto carnivor. And when ever I do have carbs I start to crave more foods. So I do belive each their own we have different body's with different chemistries in us. There is no one way
I have just started this because of the snake diet guy changing his mind. He used to advocate high fat keto but now is high carb low fat. In the comments there is quite a bit of success from previous carni/keto people. What do you eat daily?
We’re always making progress in science and technology, but it’s funny how the fundamentals don’t change a lot of the times. We just get more evidence. Eating high fat diet and thinking it’s healthy is just wild.
This was really good, I have lately been just better to myself not being so rigid. I’m 54, I can run 5 miles and do 50 push-ups etc. I appreciate more what I can do vs what I can’t. I’m also enjoying more of a balanced diet. I’m done overthinking this stuff, done with the fads.
I love Mark!
I’m 54 and 6’1”. For most of my adult life I was around 210 to 220. When I learned about all this carnivore stuff about four years ago, I followed it. I’m now right around 175# and feel great! I stopped fasting everyday and just focus on healthy proteins. Cold showers every day I feel are also a benefit 🎉
You're clogging your arteries.
@@Xxx-bk1gsNo he is not.
Avocado chunks , cooked egg in butter ,lemon, vinegar.... blend together.
No powerlifters, strongmen or bodybuilders claim they are healthy. Same with football, UFC etc.
Turns out high performance in a specific area comes with a tradeoff.
So true
Problem is the industry promotes these things as being healthy.
Paradoxically, there is some degree of positive reinforcement for these "athletes" through mate selection. For better or for worse, it is objectively true that a pro athlete may bang up his body BUT show me one who has NO kids? Even ones who aren't financially successful may manage to attract mates with their physique. They get to pass on their genes, many times with multiple partners, and one might argue that progeny is far more important than longevity. Food for thought.
all these drug addicts have zero value in their opinion
I read a story a long time ago about how some US coaches went to Bulgaria to watch the Oly lifting team trained. When they saw that their diet was high in proteins and fat they asked the coach if he was concerned for their health. His reply;
These men are training to be strong, not to be healthy.
Many diets work.
The best one is the one you’ll stick to. That may different now that was in the past and what it will be in the future.
This guy is shredded!
Can you explain the sweet potatoes while doing keto. How do you do that and not mix sugars and fats ?
Cycling carbs, eating them around heavy workout, limited amount during last meal of day, Etc.
Mark Bell shared several key insights and takeaways from his evolving views on nutrition, fitness, and personal health. Here are the main points:
1. **Strength Over Muscle**: Bell emphasizes the importance of strength training over merely building muscle mass. Strength is crucial for maintaining youthfulness and muscle mass as one ages.
2. **Diverse Dietary Approaches**: He supports experimenting with various diets (like keto, carnivore, and bodybuilding diets) to find what works best for individuals, acknowledging that different strategies can be effective for different people.
3. **Reevaluation of Ideal Body Size**: Bell has reconsidered the necessity of maintaining a large physique for health and longevity, suggesting that a smaller body size might be more beneficial for long-term health.
4. **Critical View of Dietary Fats**: Bell revisits his past advice on high-fat diets, especially the keto diet, recognizing the potential health risks of overconsumption of fats-particularly saturated fats-and their impact on insulin sensitivity and heart health.
5. **Importance of Dietary Education**: He stresses the importance of understanding the types of fats consumed and their health impacts, advocating for a nuanced approach to dietary fat rather than broad generalizations.
6. **Integration into Lifestyle**: Bell believes that any dietary or fitness regimen should fit seamlessly into one's lifestyle for it to be sustainable in the long term, suggesting that personal adaptation is key to success.
7. **Prioritize Movement**: Encouraging regular physical activity, Bell highlights movement as essential, sometimes more so than dietary changes, especially for those new to fitness or struggling with strict diets.
8. **Awareness of Overeating**: He warns against the dangers of overeating in any diet, emphasizing the need for awareness and moderation to avoid negative health outcomes.
What's he going to do, eat a high sugar diet?
I kind of do agree about the fat because I've noticed that when I do a high-fat protein keto type diet I get inflammation but if I cut the fat back and raise the protein it seems to go away
People are jumping my into a keto diet without looking at their full data could be problematic I showed up with a bad PON1 all my other numbers looked “perfectly keto” just that alone along with a history of CAD had to ditch keto. Despite the big weight drop in the beginning
It might be hard for most people to overdo it with cheese, eggs, ground beef and steak these days thanks to Choe Piden’s brilliant economic policies.
More of this with Mr Bell please 😅
Now I'm completely confused. I've had success with low carb/ carb cycling for years, but the high carb days eventually led to relapse. I've had short term success with carnivore but got tired of steaks really quickly. However, it seems my body responded well to bacon, eggs, steaks, fish. My fat loss comes to a screeching halt whenever I add too many carbs, and after a few months I gain back the 20 or 30 lbs I've managed to lose. Low carb along w moderate to intense weight lifting and cardio is the ONLY thing that ever worked. Staying on it has been the challenge. But based on new information, I'm not sure what to think.
Why would i wanna keep stuffing my face with more sugar. This guy is crazy.
Beef,Butter and Eggs with salt. All you need, gets boring but you will feel good.
What’s obvious to me is nowhere in nature do you find a high carb high fat food, so why eat them together in excess? The randle cycle is there to protect you rather than the norm and insulin is basically there to protect you from excess blood sugar. I don’t think Saturated fat eaten with protein is a problem.
Yup. Basically processed foods with saturated fat, added sugar and seed oils are the problem. I only ever eat protein with fat or carbs with protein, never carbs with fat.
durian
No where in nature can you find high carb foods
@@josemama1 fruit? are you that dumb?
Durian has massive amounts of carbs and fats
For me neaing storng and fit is not an addiction. I really have to be disciplined to go to the gym 4 times a week. But... the benefit for me is undeniably there.
Mark bells power project podcast is hands down one of the best fitness podcasts you can listen too.
V Shred is straight obsessed with pixie sticks
every guest you have on is back peddling on keto, carnivore and high fat diets. Was this all just another fad? ive watched influencers in the last 15 years go from veganism, to paleo, to keto, to carnivore, and back to paleo- and gas light everyone to say they never really thought carbs were bad despite the dozens of videos they created drinking butter.
Of course it's a fad! All extreme diets are! You just have to find the 'fad' that works for you and you can stick to for life, IF there is an issue with your health/weight.
@@richardmiddleton7770except when you preach people gargle butter and then slowly back peddle and say "maybe we didnt know that so much saturated fat was bad"
Whoa whoa definitely not a fad. What planet are you on hahah
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficialwhen are you going to talk about your performance enhancing drugs
Greg Doucette says for most iit's unsustainable you can't do it for life. That is why I eat from his cookbook and losing fat harder than last time and seeing abs 🎉 yet I eat all food groups he lowered the calories and replaced fat in baking for example with pumpkin puree and apple sauce 😋
He’s right! Just fill up with carbs and sugar. It will be good for him
This stuff is entertaining. That’s all.
yeah that's why I avoid too much coconut oil due to high saturated fat
18:40 I'd disagree, and maybe it's my own personal bias because the mindset shift that helped me lose 125lb in 6 months with carnivore+omad and a few 2-3 day water fasts was going from "I'm unhealthy because I'm fat" to "I'm fat because I'm unhealthy, and I need to do things that are good for my health". AKA treating being overweight and obese as a symptom as much or more than it is a cause.
I think on an absolute best case scenario, being, 20-30lb overweight (which using percentage is probably anything much over 20% bf?) is a sign that you're doing some things that are sub-optimal and/or damaging for your health.
Wow. So glad he said that. I am 48 and 30 pounds overweight by American standards. Yet i have amazing bloodwork and feel better now then when i was 20 and underweight. I eat healrhy and practice meditation. I used to obsess over food. Now i don’t. Makes a huge difference. I see all these vegans and carnivores so obsessed about food. Its crazy . And they upload their bloodwork and neither is good.
