Mark Sisson's "Closed Loop" Theory of Metabolic Efficiency

  • Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
  • Mark Sisson sits down with his co-author Brad Kearns to discuss the topic of metabolic efficiency and why he thinks he doesn't eat all that much for someone of his size and activity level.
    In Mark's recent "What I Eat In A Day" video, many people commented on how little Mark actually eats in a day. This video is a bit of a followup and addresses why he thinks that is.

    I do 20/4 IF and have never felt better. I don't tell most people because they look at you like your crazy. I exercise early and don't eat till 12-1pm. I think the body thrives on this system. I sleep better, my menopausal hot sweats have all but disappeared and I have no aches or pains. Life is good thanks to people like you guys👍❤

    62 years old here, I discovered keto about 16 years ago from my then doctor Cate Shanahan when she was a physician here in New Hampshire. About a month ago I added in time restricted feeding IF with a strict 3 meals a day, no snacking. I'm 135 lbs, 5'11 small boned. I exercise every day 30 to 45 minutes of calisthenics or power yoga, plus time on my bicycle (with a trainer attached for foul weather). Breakfast is always three free range eggs over easy with about 2 oz. hard Italian cheese, then lunch is 3 slices of Swiss cheese and 2 slices of Turkey with Primal Kitchen mayo and maybe a small serving of fermented sauerkraut. Dinner will be some kind of meat like burger, steak, chicken, fish, or other seafood, some kind of green vegetable or salad. The salad gets the Primal Kitchen Caesar. A couple oz. of 90% dark chocolate to finish dinner off. A few times a week I will have a glass or 2 of wine at dinner, or 1 beer. 20 to 30 grams of carbs total for the day. I push those carbs to only dinner time so I have only 1 insulin event each day. This keeps my energy level high and constant throughout the day, and my mood very calm and stable.

    This video right here, folks. This is how it's done. There are countless videos on UA-cam describing keto, weight loss, etc., but this one sums up the winning strategy perfectly. I lost 100 pounds long before I even discovered Mark Sisson or this video, but I'm here to say that this clip perfectly describes what worked for me. As Mark said, it's about being able to "access stored body fat on a regular basis." He hit the nail on the head at the 4:14 mark. I think it's inaccurate to call keto a "high fat" diet because that seems to imply the necessity of eating a lot of fat. Rather, it's a lifestyle of adequate protein to maintain muscle mass, and adequate good fats to feel satisfied. It's "high fat" only in the sense that you are eating more fat than protein. And you can have some low-glycemic vegetables if you'd like, and a little bit of low-glycemic fruit as well (i.e. berries). When you do all this, you end up with a ~2000 calorie lifestyle, low levels of glycogen and glucose, and a body ready to tap into fat every day. You can go from being fat, to being skinny fat. Then if you tweak this lifestyle a little bit and start lifting weights, I think you can get on a path to looking like the bodybuilders of the 50s, 60s and 70s (muscular and lean). I would think this would require more protein, lifting weights, and possibly replenishing the glycogen storage before a workout, while keeping everything else the same. Any thoughts?

    I definitely have to pay attention to calories on OMAD ketovore in combination with regular exercise. If I don't eat massive amounts of calories from fatty foods, I'll lose too much weight and my energy will tank. This doesn't involve counting calories but stuffing as many into my mouth as possible. Of course, I also do some occasional fasting, including extended.
    As is common among many hunter-gatherers, I follow a feast and fast pattern. I had to expand the feasting side a bit because I couldn't fit in enough calories if my feeding window was too narrow. So, my OMAD is typically 3-4 hours, during which I eat multiple times. I also eat freely on weekends when my exercise routine is more intensive.

    Turned strict carnivore 4 months ago for health and weight loss reasons and it's exceeded expectations so far in several areas including weight loss, mental clarity, energy level, carb addiction control, and most importantly what it has taught me about WHY I eat. I got the Audible version of "2 meals a day" yesterday and really enjoyed the first hour or so I heard. I do want to be able to include some non meat things here and there, because I am doing this to have more quality time with my family, and for better or worse, we live in a culture centered around eating. I'm not going to exclude myself from the celebrations I did all this to be around for by missing out on things like having a drink with my daughter on her upcoming 21st b-day, or future wedding, or one of my wife's prize winning choc chip cookies once or twice a year with my girls while just watching a movie at home. Quality of life and food are important. For me it really boils down to treating processed foods and sugar like what they are - Very tasty poison. Eat a little, very infrequently, and most will be just fine. Make it a lifestyle choice - and you will get metabolic disease. Fortunately for most, if we stay at it, and are diligent and purposeful, we will feel better and get metabolically healthy and live long and prosper.

Although it has been proven that our bodies treat calories differently depending on their source, I think the old adage if you are eating KETO, you don't have to worry about the amount of calories your are consuming is falling by the way side. Both quantity and source play a part in weight management and health.

Whatever feels comfortable for you. Of course you will be a bit out of your comfort zone whenever you try to go further than before, but it's only a matter of adaptation for your body.

At 3 pm I drink a coffee and some snack just for the enjoyment of eating something good. Half of the time I skip eating at 3 pm and just drink a black coffee. I'm also not strict with the time.

    I have had great weight-loss experience from following the Primal diet and lifestyle (Aerobic-only workouts, lifting etc). However, once the weight is off, I have never been able to support a high intensity training lifestyle on this diet. In this video Mark describes 1700 intake kCal day which includes a workout, assuming the workout is 500 - 700Kcal, that leaves a net 1000-1200 Kcal...which for him is sustainable but by established nutritional science is classified as deficient (unless you weigh 100lbs) and likely results in the bodies "starvation" response. My question is, if I want to train with intensity for 2-3+ hours a day, including very high intensity efforts and racing (2000+ kCal of work, measured on my power-meter) how do I adjust my "macros"? My experience has been that as soon as I eat carbs to fuel intensity I lose the primal benefits, is it as simple as increasing the intake by 2000kcal of fat / protein?

    Agree 100%. To be able to eat like he says without crazy hunger or fatigue you first have to become a bonafide fat adapted fat burner. Only way to do this is get your insulin levels down into a truly normal range. High insulin levels caused by crappy processed food full of sugar and junk carbs block fat burning. Thats why a fat or TOFI person is always so hungry. Their insulin levels are sky high. And of course they are headed for diabetes.

    I found a simple way of staying within 2k calories per day - just eat half of my every meal. I also exercise 2 hr a day, 6 days a week. Works well so far, and I don’t need to count any calories. And a few more rules - I don’t eat too much calories after 6pm, and make sure I get at least 8 hours of sleep every day. We build muscles and lose weight only during sleep time, so without prosper sleep all other efforts will be pretty much waisted.

    Individuals figuring out the amount of food they really NEED and eating that amount is a very good responsible thing to do for the energy efficiency and functioning of the whole society. On multiple levels; you don't use too much resources and you function better, calmer, smarter, more inspired, more creative when you are not overburdening your body with excess food.

      Well, I'll start w/ what he gets right. HFLC, Keto, Carnivore or any diet under the meat-based low carb umbrella to not meaningfully engage The Randle Cycle is a proper human diet.
      What he's getting wrong is counting calories, CICO, or believing in calories at all really. Calories are not a proper measure of food energy. Calories are a measurement of heat. Thermodynamics doesn't apply in a meaningful way. We break down food chemically, not via heat. Thermodynamics is more for isolated &/or closed systems to begin with. We are open systems, the furthest away from what thermodynamics is used for even if we used heat as energy... which we don't.

    Come on man it’s not complicated or miserable. Yes for me your diet would be miserable besides the steak and wine however I do not drink during the week.
    A healthy 170-200Lb man who works out regularly including true cardio should:
    •Eat a well balanced diet which includes carbs (33/33/33%) at 2,250-2,750 calories per day. If you want to lose weight drop it down to 1,500-1,750. No added sugars & no binging on garbage.
    Usually I start with a very light breakfast of about 300 calories, then either 60 minutes of hard calisthenics or 30 minutes of burpees for cardio (sometimes both back to back), 5 days per week. No weights, just a pull up bar some chairs whatever is around and dozens of different exercises. About an hour later I’ll have a 500-600 calorie lunch. Then I’ll wait as long as possible to start eating again. For dinner I usually eat very late, maybe 2 hours before bed and I go for mostly protein and fat but also include vegetables and yes even fruit (god forbid).
    That’s it, people over complicate everything.
    Btw I won’t deny that you look great and very healthy.

    Не переедайте и будьте подвижны. Всем здоровья.
