I think knowing your weaknesses is huge. I can keep chips and stuff in my pantry and never eat them, but if I get Oreos… those suckers are gone once I start eating them
I don't eat emotionally but you reminded me that I need to plan more for the days I'm not fasting. I plan fasting days carefully but nonfasting days I am very lax and I don't eat a good balance of carbs and protein. Thank you And I hope you understand that you are blessed because you have a praying Grandmother. That makes all the difference. I can't tell you everything she did was right but consider the claims of Christ. I'm going to pray for you now. 🤗
It's really wonderful working through everything discussed here myself. Before I learned fasting, I had no idea how many senses food had buried my whole life. Fasting definitely taugh me how to build a real, whole food diet on top of "silence" -- that feeling where your inflammation is gone, keytones clear your thinking. I wish everyone could experience fasting benefits and pure carnivore or keto..
@@goofytuber9011 that's why it's called "breakfast" your last meal (dinner) should be 12 hours before you wake up in the morning. There you go fasting.
@@goofytuber9011the key is to start slow and work into longer times. The easiest way is for me to start was to include my sleeping hours. Don’t eat 4 hours before and after sleep and boom 8+8=16 16 hours which is a great place to be. The meals before and after the 16 should be low carb medium protein and fats that help you stay fuller longer.
Thomas is a great host. I say this because he is actually being silent & listening where as other host would interrupt the guest or intervening with a question so they can speak
Creating space from foods and creating stillness. This makes so much sense. We are over stimulated with everything. "Diet Ninja", Yeahhhhhh, I'm using that!!!
I love love love love love love love him! Processed food is not food! He is right! He’s right about virtually everything in this video! I love it that he sees carbohydrates as supplements. ❤❤
He's spot on with eating something while watching, so I just plan my meals around when I watch something, and then I just drink water or sip on some coffee.
This is such an important conversation we talk so much about the do’s and don’t’s and the physical aspect of health/wellness/weight loss but we don’t spent much time focusing on the mental/mindful aspect of being in tune with our bodies. This is not only key to achieving goals but also maintaining them after.
Thank you Thomas to have Nsima on your show. I don’t like people saying food is good and bad. He is a genuine guy loving his Ben and Jerry’s and Oreos but I love the idea of quiet time.
Tommy boy could take a few notes. Nsima is one of the few “nattys” not full of shit. He’s also Nigerian so he’s got that going for him. Thomas being natural on the other hand is a mockery of his rather educated followers. The bloodwork break downs he’s done absolutely proving nothing to prove he’s natural I wish he’d just be honest and move on as I wouldn’t think any less of him.
There's bad food. Why not call them out like foods cooked in seed oils, foods with too much added sugar, food in bags and boxes for longer shelf life. These are empty calories. The body stores them. Good foods are whole foods that spoil in a few days if not consumed. They are nutrient dense. The body thrives on nutrients.
These are the steps and mindset for the foundation of human evolution. On every level, this in practice, lays the brickwork of a sustainably healthy planet, and improved life for all.
Thank you for the concept of stillness. The analogy of screaming children and moving away from that was really helpful (and the hint of parent guilt made me smile, totally get that) love your videos ❤❤😊😊
I didnt fast but I took a week of eating 1000 kcal every other day. Visited my mother for week and she fed me all the bad stuff. went home and experienced my hunger was almost gone. I was basically good on two lean steaks and 100g rice a day. It was fantastic. I dont think I have to count calories or eat excessive amount of veggies anymore, if I just stick to less processed foods and intermittent fasting
"Eat like an Adult" YES! Let yourself actually get hungry then eat like an adult and just until satiated. Separate eating from emotions by fasting. YES!!!! I absolutely agree. As soon as I embraced hunger as a feeling and embrace it and the hunger passed because my body tapped into fat stores I was able to separate emotional eating from eating for health. We are designed to go without food for a few days due to fat stores. Only sub 5% body fat people will struggle with fasting physically or people with some metabolic disorder.. and fasting can reverse modern metabolic disorders due to overeating. Mentally dealing with fasting is a different story, emotional and spiritual hunger or boredom drives compulsive behaviors like eating when you don't need to. It's a mind over matter "exercise" which will separate emotional eating from eating for health. Type 2 diabetics especially embrace your hunger pains daily until they go away on their own without food. Drink water and have a tiny bit of salt and see where you stand.
I was in the Paul Rivelia 90 day transformation challenge a few times . Those guys and gals got super ripped and just lost a ton of weight all did calorie counting . It works and I am now calorie counting . You might not be tracking but after all those years you have learned your portions .
Thomas i would love to see you analyze an old school Bodybuilder name Serge Nubret....This guy was intuitive, shredded beyond belief and only ate meat but pounds of meat a day. he trusted his bodys signals and never went against them evan if no one understood it, he reminds me of Bill Maeda but just a bodybuilding version!
Only when we realize that FOOD, as in Whole Foods is simply substrate in which the body needs in adequate amounts, whether it’s proteins and fats or vitamins and minerals, that we better understand the disconnect we’ve created as a society by constantly overthinking and challenging each other with our beliefs, but most of these theories are just that someone’s beliefs Yet we tend to put more emphasis on someone else’s beliefs rather than our own gut, instinct, beliefs from the knowledge and wisdom gained throughout the time we spend existing on earth rather than living on earth. When an individual makes a comment regarding Oreo cookies not being present in your house and that you must have an eating disorder? That individual is simply basing their opinion on the knowledge and wisdom gained from their own life experiences to my point that comment and that way of thinking is not necessarily incorrect for that individual because that is all they know to be true and that is all they know how to offer as an opinion regarding your situation. in their eyes, you are wrong and they are right at that moment 10 years from now that person could revisit this video or that comment being made about the lack of Oreo cookies or any other processed food and have a completely different outlook, but at that moment in their space and time this is how they feel and think about your situation based on their own current situation. It’s all about perspective and context. There’s two sides to a coin and one could argue both ways and both arguments could be correct but it’s the context in which the argument was based upon is what gives the full spectrum and rationale for once, thinking in the comment that they left. Six months ago, I would’ve never been able to think of an answer like this if I had not removed carbon hydratess completely from my diet. Consider this the human beings that we currently are have been on earth for approximately 50,000 years yet the world as we know it has advanced more in the past 50 years than our current species has been on earth. Yet somehow man thinks that they know better than mother nature. 3 million years in the making has created to what I consider to be the perfect human machine in all its glory and the only thing we had to do is what we were meant to to do move more and eat whole food with adequate vitamins and minerals and pure water. The remainder of our bodies will figure out naturally. Once we remove all the stimulants, we start to reconnect and my hopes and dreams we once again one day will become a healthy, prosperous, caring society rather than a destructive nature in which man has created.. thank you
Fasting really resets your hunger cues.. You have to start slow tho especially if you're very athletic because it takes a while to transition out of just carbs for fuel
When I had mononucleosis, just one Saturday of not eating healthfully made it flare up and get very powerful. I was so sick. Thinking of eating for immune system too, and other automatic activities your body participates in is important in my opinion.
As someone who has been down the same diet journey, it's kind of crazy to think that we're at this point in society where we have such a strong attachment to food but it's 100% true. From scarcity to abundance. But unfortunately the abundance and availability of food has created a monster. We would be in a much better place if the average person heard these diet "tips" and put them into practice, creating a break between emotion and constant eating. Nice video, enjoyed listening.
Leanest I’ve ever gotten was when I came to my senses and quit keto after 5 years. So cultish and restrictive. I went to 50% carbs 30% protein and 20% fat. Everything improved with this. Sleep, testosterone and my running. My carbs are berries, sweet potato and pinto navy and black beans and lentils. Hesitant to change Freon keto to high carb low fat but it has been a game changer for me. And I now enjoy food again.
Glad that works for you. For some of us it's what makes us feel our best daily. I tried going back to higher clean carbs, not a fan, does not work for me at all. Keto makes me feel my best, sometimes I even go carnivore if I need an extra push.
Keto has been great for me. My body needs very little carbs to perform well, and carbs are really just a boost around when I want more influx of energy. It’s always individual.
This is probably your best episode. I’ve heard of the many years I’ve been listening to you and your guest was incredible on this really enjoyed listening to him Thomas. There’s one thing you need to start doing when you start giving initials for things letting us know what that means like RCT I had looked that up Even though you know what it means in your guest knows what it means you have to remember, even though I am a trainer and have been doing this for over 50 years your initials that you put to these medical or even psychological and nutritional values you need to say it so that we can understand what you’re saying apart from that this was a very good episode
Agree about fasting. I need to do more fasting the way I did when I was younger. I didn't realize it was IF and I was always lean. Eating processed foods seed oils sugar ultra processed fasting foods will lead to weight gain and a host of illnesses. I am eating more whole foods and keep my weight in a normal range. America is overweight sick and obese. Wake up folks! Eat nutrient dense foods.
Remember, he is NOT coming from a place of once being morbidly obese like so many of us (including Thomas) did. I spent a great deal of my life being 280 to 310 lbs, and I am a 5’3” female. I would never have resolved my issues by implementing his eating habits. Although I am now down over 130 pounds (thank you, Thomas)….there will NEVER be Ben & Jerry’s in my freezer. 💜
Before you discount what I talk about here, realize that I may have not been morbidly obese, but I also got myself up to 280 lbs and gave myself the excuse of “bulking”. I didn’t have self control with processed food (as I mentioned in the show), and I DON’T eat a lot of processed food because it doesn’t serve the bodies natural signals of hunger. I’m not sure what you think I’m saying in the show, but did you actually listen to it?
@@christylewis3485which is why I mentioned in this episode to not keep those foods in your environment. I don’t keep the foods I would binge on in my home. I know i wouldn’t have the self control with them. If you’re “addicted”, keep the drug away.
@@christylewis3485try getting a ninja creami, it’s allowed me to make 200-300 calorie pints of ice cream with high protein that fits very neatly into my macros, great if you’re an ice cream fan
I went on Carnivore for a week last week since Thanksgiving was coming up and I wanted to get my appetite under control. First couple days, any carb sounded good. Last couple of days, the ONLY craving I had was for a banana. Was the first thing I ate with my morning eggs first day coming back from the 7 day Carnivore diet. I would think fasting would be very similar. I will be using some Monk fasts from time to time moving forward, and may use a 72 hour fast sometime down the line.
@@subwayfacemelt4325Maybe, though red meat is a pretty good source of potassium and I was eating plenty of it. I figured it was because they were in the house and I walked past them like 50 times lol
@I_Might_B_Wrong That's funny and interesting! I think my cravings from nowhere mainly featured bananas. I hear carnivores have to eat more salt since the low carb diet means less water retention. I'm having trouble with red meat, maybe the steaks I eat have too much fat.
When i went off carnivore, tried keto for variety i quickly resorted back to cookies potatoes now im SAD.... I wish i never stopped carnivore because my pain was gone, I sprint everyday in pain, but it seems to keep my weight off at least Im 48, knees hurt, feet hurt, hands, elbows, muscle pain etc etc when im in ketosis I feel 28 again no kidding....
With so many people sharing different opinions, it’s easy for your audience to feel confused about what truly works. While it all comes down to bioindividuality, many people are unaware of this and might try to follow you but end up lost
Something to consider: You don’t need to stick to one diet forever. I’ve experimented with different diets and learned to eat in various ways, which has given me more freedom. If I had only followed a single diet just because it “worked,” I wouldn’t have discovered that flexibility for myself. You’re absolutely right-there is bioindividuality. That’s why we need to approach our nutrition and exercise as an n=1 experiment, tailoring it to our unique needs. This process requires time, effort, and a willingness to learn what truly works for us, rather than simply following what others do or tell us we should.
Thats because the best diet is the one that fits your lifestyle/taste buds and allows you to achieve best performance. In the end you have to try out stuff and see what sticks its a long process not many get it after first try for me it took almost 10 years to find what sticks with me but end result is better physique as a natural than when i was using PED's. And im leaner and feel better mentally/physically. I see all these videos as inspirations and something to try out in the future not as a blueprint. Never take one persons diary and a recipe for YOUR success
You need to pay attention to what your body needs and when it needs it. If you’re laying around and not doing much on a given day you better not eat a lot of calories and carbs. If you’re going to do a lot of physical exertion then eat accordingly to feed the machine. If you are trying to lose weight go Keto.
Thomas, have you looked into the published lab results that show LMNT has 500x more of the amount of maltodextrin that they had stated was in their product? Will this have negative gut health implications? Blood glucose spikes? What is the science telling us on this?? Help!!
The part about the ores was very relatable. When you tell people you dont keep alcohol in the house because you know you'll end up drinking, people will respect that. But, when it comes to food, its such a debate...I mean, we're talking about OREOs here, no nutritional value and highly addictive. Not having them in the house makes total sense. Its not like he cant go out and enjoy an Oreo cake here and there lol just dont need it to be in the house all the time.
I'm a runner/lifter. 41m. I love this this philosophy but my issue is coming on and off carbs. For me when I eat a bunch of carbs the cravings come hard and fast and then feels hard to go back to fasted keto.
Same here man. I think a lot has to do with the type of carbs. Fruits are sweeter and more sugary today than 100 years ago. Rice, potatoes less nutrient dense than they used to be due to poor soil quality (especially Idaho). And eating ultra processed carbs and simple sugars.... RIP. But ya... I grew up getting jacked on 2-4 medium potato western hashbrowns. When I go from low carb and indulge in them again - I am absolutely ravenous and cannot control myself the rest of the day. I just tore my hamstring back in May at 38 doing hill sprints too and have put on 10 lbs that is just not coming off. I have to stay away from carbs cause I am not sprinting 2-3x a week. And here we go into Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Ret4rds stop running it’s terrible for joints and causes heart failure and immense stress on the endocrine system. You run because it “feels good” afterwards when you stop torturing yourselves and the body produces endorphins
The reason why any individual can overheat ultra processed foods like a box of Oreo cookies is simply because we we don’t require carbohydrates in order to survive, so our bodies have no signalling hormone to tell us whether we are full or hungry as we consume these high sugar artificial substrates that are not FOOD. When we consume a ribeye steak, which is derived from a grass fed grazing cow is perfectly portioned in quantities of protein and fat, in which our bodies understand well and when we are full, we know this because our body releases leptin, and once our bodies become hungry, it releases a different hormone called Grellin. It’s only when we are able to separate ourselves from these ultra processed sugary substrates. We consume that our body is able to better regulate using these hormones without the interruption of insulin coming to save the day from our over consumption, indulging addicting ways, we now consume glucose and or fructose. We are only meant to consume protein and fat along with 91 minerals and 3 fatty acids in order for our human species to survive and thrive. Yet man thought he knew better than mother nature. Thank you.
The reason you can continue to eat ultra processed foods is food scientist create a taste that dings your dopamine. Your mitochondria are clogged and don't utilize what's being consumed.
this was a very reassuring video.....i greatly appreciate his thoughts on fasting and the usefullness of it in his life....especially in his world where the word 'fasting' is almost blasphamous
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Protein and fat is always the first thing I go to for any meal. I eat until I’m not interested and it stops tasting good. I’m good for 5-6 hours. If I want I can have one or cookies only to balance out my taste buds, and I’m done. Protein fills me up more than a pound of veg.
What blows my mind is that i can struggle to lose fat reducing my carbs/ calories etc and then now that I'm trying to gain weight i can have an extra 7 or 800 calories and not gain a pound.
In my 20s and 30s I was bodybuilding and my diet was dominated by carbs. Ate whatever I wanted including donuts, pancakes, cookies. Couldn't put any fat on if I tried. Looked and performed great. The more junk I ate the better I looked. Likely damaged my organs tho.
It's funny how people who really really burn for health and fitness in their life, like these two, end up just one step away from finding true spirituality, wether they know it or not, but I think thats the real path...find it on the way without specifically searching for it. unlike Esoteric or New Age movements
If I am trying to get shredded do you recommend eating at maintenance or surplus then just fast one or two days a week. Whenever I try to do a cut even just a slight deficit my training goes to complete shit and i get weak fast.
Try Van Leeuwin( sp?) ice cream instead of Ben and Jerry’s next time . Thank me later… til then.. you’re quite welcome. MmmFrench style like a frozen custard. You. Will. Never. Go. Back.
I finally started eating only whole foods centered around red meat. I don’t do rice or grains, I don’t prefer it. Meat, potatoes, broccoli, fruit, raw cheese, raw kefir, dry seasonings. Only whole food literally. No sauce at all, they ruin the taste and dull satiety signals. I drink only sparkling water and water. No urge to have a “cheat meal”. Chicken sucks, I don’t eat it. Fish sucks, I don’t eat it. Eggs suck mostly, I don’t eat it. Ruminants are usually all I like. No fake yogurt bull shit, no protein powders, no protein bars, literally meat, vegetables, fruit, and raw dairy. From time to time raw honey and 100% organic male syrup, don’t usually want them though. I was an ultra food addict, all cravings went away after one meal of whole food centered on red meat.
I love the comment about spiritual hunger. The more the world has rejected belief in a higher power the more people have lost their way. Mankind is empty and unfulfilled and they are filling that emptiness with food,sex,gambling,drugs, booze etc etc. All vices are through the roof because people are lost. I am not talking about religion either because religion is a lost and corrupt institution. I am talking about a personal connection and a direct relationship with God. It is called faith.
4 sleeves of Oreos is 3180 calories! Also Thomas thanks for allowing me to share some of these ideas on your show!
Your interview was so reasonable on fasting 🎉🎉 so good thank you
I think knowing your weaknesses is huge. I can keep chips and stuff in my pantry and never eat them, but if I get Oreos… those suckers are gone once I start eating them

@@Pilarfitvegasthank you! 👊🏾
Fasting is like exercising. Don’t always enjoy it while doing it, but enjoy how I feel afterwards.
How do you not get really hungry? I've tried it and would get so hungry i would end up eating 3k calories in 10 min lol
@ I wasn’t able to fast until I went keto. The high fat/low carb combination killed my appetite and made fasting a possibility.
@@goofytuber9011 that's why it's called "breakfast" your last meal (dinner) should be 12 hours before you wake up in the morning. There you go fasting.

@ yeah 16 hours isn't that bad. However, OMAD was impossible for me to do, i had zero energy, became angry and stressed and would always be hungry.
This dude isn't on mark bells podcast for no reason
Super smart guy
Even Thomas is getting excited 😂
Have him on again please
And extremely handsome
that was the most honest commentary on fasting i think ive seen on youtube which is inundated with fasting content
Thomas is a great host. I say this because he is actually being silent & listening where as other host would interrupt the guest or intervening with a question so they can speak
Even when he “rambles”, Nsima is more on point than 99% of people on TH-cam or social media
Nsima is the best! Stoked you had him on your channel!
Creating space from foods and creating stillness. This makes so much sense.

And he’s gorgeous
He's spot on with eating something while watching, so I just plan my meals around when I watch something, and then I just drink water or sip on some coffee.
Nice to hear this perfective. I fast 36 hours every week. I like the return to food as much as the time without it. I feel I’m in charge not my food.
This point of view is life-changing to more people than you know. Thank you for getting this out there.
This is such an important conversation we talk so much about the do’s and don’t’s and the physical aspect of health/wellness/weight loss but we don’t spent much time focusing on the mental/mindful aspect of being in tune with our bodies. This is not only key to achieving goals but also maintaining them after.
It’s the Goodness of God that brings us to repentance…👏
This interview was phenomenal. It puts fasting into a whole new light. Thank you!
Literally the best video on eating for bodybuilding that I’ve ever heard! Wow!
He’s like a god

He did not only eat meat.
He ate tons of rice and vegetables.
He also took shit tons of gear and died at 72 with a busted pancreas.

Carbohydrates as a supplement is brilliant and on point!
Eating is pleasurable, but it is also a perturbance to your digestive system. Fasting taught me this.

This is probably your best episode. I’ve heard of the many years I’ve been listening to you and your guest was incredible on this really enjoyed listening to him Thomas. There’s one thing you need to start doing when you start giving initials for things letting us know what that means like RCT I had looked that up Even though you know what it means in your guest knows what it means you have to remember, even though I am a trainer and have been doing this for over 50 years your initials that you put to these medical or even psychological and nutritional values you need to say it so that we can understand what you’re saying apart from that this was a very good episode
Agree about fasting. I need to do more fasting the way I did when I was younger. I didn't realize it was IF and I was always lean. Eating processed foods seed oils sugar ultra processed fasting foods will lead to weight gain and a host of illnesses. I am eating more whole foods and keep my weight in a normal range. America is overweight sick and obese. Wake up folks! Eat nutrient dense foods.
Fasting changed MY life.
BJJ is changing MY life..
DBZ is LIFE!
For the algo
Remember, he is NOT coming from a place of once being morbidly obese like so many of us (including Thomas) did. I spent a great deal of my life being 280 to 310 lbs, and I am a 5’3” female. I would never have resolved my issues by implementing his eating habits. Although I am now down over 130 pounds (thank you, Thomas)….there will NEVER be Ben & Jerry’s in my freezer. 💜
Before you discount what I talk about here, realize that I may have not been morbidly obese, but I also got myself up to 280 lbs and gave myself the excuse of “bulking”.
I didn’t have self control with processed food (as I mentioned in the show), and I DON’T eat a lot of processed food because it doesn’t serve the bodies natural signals of hunger. I’m not sure what you think I’m saying in the show, but did you actually listen to it?
@@NsimaInyangI get what you are saying but there is also a true “addiction” piece to this for some as well. 🤷🏻♀️😊
@@christylewis3485which is why I mentioned in this episode to not keep those foods in your environment. I don’t keep the foods I would binge on in my home. I know i wouldn’t have the self control with them. If you’re “addicted”, keep the drug away.
He actually mentioned addition behavior in the video @@christylewis3485
@@christylewis3485try getting a ninja creami, it’s allowed me to make 200-300 calorie pints of ice cream with high protein that fits very neatly into my macros, great if you’re an ice cream fan
Hunger means your stomach has and is emptying, a great thing... It passes pretty quickly
I went on Carnivore for a week last week since Thanksgiving was coming up and I wanted to get my appetite under control. First couple days, any carb sounded good. Last couple of days, the ONLY craving I had was for a banana. Was the first thing I ate with my morning eggs first day coming back from the 7 day Carnivore diet. I would think fasting would be very similar. I will be using some Monk fasts from time to time moving forward, and may use a 72 hour fast sometime down the line.
Maybe the banana craving was for potassium?
@@subwayfacemelt4325Maybe, though red meat is a pretty good source of potassium and I was eating plenty of it. I figured it was because they were in the house and I walked past them like 50 times lol
@I_Might_B_Wrong That's funny and interesting! I think my cravings from nowhere mainly featured bananas.
I hear carnivores have to eat more salt since the low carb diet means less water retention.
I'm having trouble with red meat, maybe the steaks I eat have too much fat.
jewels!,,,,,,Many thanks ..
This is the message.
When i went off carnivore, tried keto for variety i quickly resorted back to cookies potatoes now im SAD....
I wish i never stopped carnivore because my pain was gone, I sprint everyday in pain, but it seems to keep my weight off at least
Im 48, knees hurt, feet hurt, hands, elbows, muscle pain etc etc when im in ketosis I feel 28 again no kidding....
Great video!
With so many people sharing different opinions, it’s easy for your audience to feel confused about what truly works. While it all comes down to bioindividuality, many people are unaware of this and might try to follow you but end up lost
this channel is now content over quality
Something to consider: You don’t need to stick to one diet forever. I’ve experimented with different diets and learned to eat in various ways, which has given me more freedom. If I had only followed a single diet just because it “worked,” I wouldn’t have discovered that flexibility for myself.
You’re absolutely right-there is bioindividuality. That’s why we need to approach our nutrition and exercise as an n=1 experiment, tailoring it to our unique needs. This process requires time, effort, and a willingness to learn what truly works for us, rather than simply following what others do or tell us we should.
Thats because the best diet is the one that fits your lifestyle/taste buds and allows you to achieve best performance.
In the end you have to try out stuff and see what sticks its a long process not many get it after first try for me it took almost 10 years to find what sticks with me but end result is better physique as a natural than when i was using PED's. And im leaner and feel better mentally/physically.
I see all these videos as inspirations and something to try out in the future not as a blueprint. Never take one persons diary and a recipe for YOUR success
You need to pay attention to what your body needs and when it needs it. If you’re laying around and not doing much on a given day you better not eat a lot of calories and carbs. If you’re going to do a lot of physical exertion then eat accordingly to feed the machine. If you are trying to lose weight go Keto.
You just answered your own point without realizing it.
Find the common denominator
Yes pallet changes. Your microbiom changes. You have more good bacteria that thrive on fruits and veggies.
a bag of Oreos blended with chocolate ice cream and milk with Lou Malnati's pizza! LOL...my moments where someone might say I have issues!
Thomas, have you looked into the published lab results that show LMNT has 500x more of the amount of maltodextrin that they had stated was in their product? Will this have negative gut health implications? Blood glucose spikes? What is the science telling us on this?? Help!!
It's direct a no go for me when any supplement... have Maltodextrin in it
I have lost respect for other products he pushes for standing behind the LMNT deception on maltodextrin.
Yeah it’s total bullchit he’s peddling.
The part about the ores was very relatable. When you tell people you dont keep alcohol in the house because you know you'll end up drinking, people will respect that. But, when it comes to food, its such a debate...I mean, we're talking about OREOs here, no nutritional value and highly addictive. Not having them in the house makes total sense. Its not like he cant go out and enjoy an Oreo cake here and there lol just dont need it to be in the house all the time.
LOL Facts… It’s never just Oreos. You have to dunk them in milk 😂😢!
Breaking the addictions of life.
I'm a runner/lifter. 41m. I love this this philosophy but my issue is coming on and off carbs. For me when I eat a bunch of carbs the cravings come hard and fast and then feels hard to go back to fasted keto.
Same here man. I think a lot has to do with the type of carbs. Fruits are sweeter and more sugary today than 100 years ago. Rice, potatoes less nutrient dense than they used to be due to poor soil quality (especially Idaho). And eating ultra processed carbs and simple sugars.... RIP. But ya... I grew up getting jacked on 2-4 medium potato western hashbrowns. When I go from low carb and indulge in them again - I am absolutely ravenous and cannot control myself the rest of the day. I just tore my hamstring back in May at 38 doing hill sprints too and have put on 10 lbs that is just not coming off. I have to stay away from carbs cause I am not sprinting 2-3x a week. And here we go into Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Ret4rds stop running it’s terrible for joints and causes heart failure and immense stress on the endocrine system. You run because it “feels good” afterwards when you stop torturing yourselves and the body produces endorphins
@Chudlord10 dude, you haven't a clue, stop talking.
6:04 basically the SAID principle focused on food as a fuel source when proactively eating instead of reactively consuming
The reason why any individual can overheat ultra processed foods like a box of Oreo cookies is simply because we we don’t require carbohydrates in order to survive, so our bodies have no signalling hormone to tell us whether we are full or hungry as we consume these high sugar artificial substrates that are not FOOD. When we consume a ribeye steak, which is derived from a grass fed grazing cow is perfectly portioned in quantities of protein and fat, in which our bodies understand well and when we are full, we know this because our body releases leptin, and once our bodies become hungry, it releases a different hormone called Grellin. It’s only when we are able to separate ourselves from these ultra processed sugary substrates. We consume that our body is able to better regulate using these hormones without the interruption of insulin coming to save the day from our over consumption, indulging addicting ways, we now consume glucose and or fructose. We are only meant to consume protein and fat along with 91 minerals and 3 fatty acids in order for our human species to survive and thrive. Yet man thought he knew better than mother nature. Thank you.
Not accurate at all
The reason you can continue to eat ultra processed foods is food scientist create a taste that dings your dopamine. Your mitochondria are clogged and don't utilize what's being consumed.
So carb backloading. Like John Keifer talked about 10 years ago
I carb load all day everyday
Whatever happened to him. He kinda fell off the planet. Anyone know?

He never said this was new information nor a revelation. Hes just talking about it
this was a very reassuring video.....i greatly appreciate his thoughts on fasting and the usefullness of it in his life....especially in his world where the word 'fasting' is almost blasphamous
What a beautiful man

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
ITS TRUE GET TO EATING HEALTHY FIRST AND THAN SNACK ON OCASSIONS ONLY
Protein and fat is always the first thing I go to for any meal. I eat until I’m not interested and it stops tasting good. I’m good for 5-6 hours. If I want I can have one or cookies only to balance out my taste buds, and I’m done. Protein fills me up more than a pound of veg.
What blows my mind is that i can struggle to lose fat reducing my carbs/ calories etc and then now that I'm trying to gain weight i can have an extra 7 or 800 calories and not gain a pound.
Is rice bad carb
In my 20s and 30s I was bodybuilding and my diet was dominated by carbs. Ate whatever I wanted including donuts, pancakes, cookies. Couldn't put any fat on if I tried. Looked and performed great. The more junk I ate the better I looked. Likely damaged my organs tho.
How old js Nsima?
He has a great voice and delivery
He's in his low 30s

Take test ... one and done
Not that easy.
@Christian_counsel they all do it .. frig em find out for yourself what works
CARBS ❤
It's funny how people who really really burn for health and fitness in their life, like these two, end up just one step away from finding true spirituality, wether they know it or not, but I think thats the real path...find it on the way without specifically searching for it. unlike Esoteric or New Age movements
What's the leading cause of death for healthy ppl?
If I am trying to get shredded do you recommend eating at maintenance or surplus then just fast one or two days a week. Whenever I try to do a cut even just a slight deficit my training goes to complete shit and i get weak fast.
It’s called INTUITIVE EATING!
Try Van Leeuwin( sp?) ice cream instead of Ben and Jerry’s next time . Thank me later… til then.. you’re quite welcome. MmmFrench style like a frozen custard. You. Will. Never. Go. Back.
What do you think of haagen dazs?
This dude is the Eddie Abbew of America
Very similar to how I eat.
Sounds like he just got older and more mature..and got all the benefits that come with that
For us mere mortals who are not earning our keep in the fitness industry....😮
I finally started eating only whole foods centered around red meat. I don’t do rice or grains, I don’t prefer it. Meat, potatoes, broccoli, fruit, raw cheese, raw kefir, dry seasonings. Only whole food literally. No sauce at all, they ruin the taste and dull satiety signals. I drink only sparkling water and water. No urge to have a “cheat meal”. Chicken sucks, I don’t eat it. Fish sucks, I don’t eat it. Eggs suck mostly, I don’t eat it. Ruminants are usually all I like. No fake yogurt bull shit, no protein powders, no protein bars, literally meat, vegetables, fruit, and raw dairy. From time to time raw honey and 100% organic male syrup, don’t usually want them though.
I was an ultra food addict, all cravings went away after one meal of whole food centered on red meat.
❤❤❤❤
This conversation is not for the average physique.
My abomination is ANY homemade cake. So I don't bake it or refuse to accept homemade cake from anyone because I would be eating it all day
I love the comment about spiritual hunger. The more the world has rejected belief in a higher power the more people have lost their way. Mankind is empty and unfulfilled and they are filling that emptiness with food,sex,gambling,drugs, booze etc etc. All vices are through the roof because people are lost. I am not talking about religion either because religion is a lost and corrupt institution. I am talking about a personal connection and a direct relationship with God. It is called faith.
Today's episode is sponsored by Oreos. Please eat one every time you hear them mentioned! 🤪
Did my brotha ever talk about exactly what type of fasting he did?
Thomas smile! Your guest is making some jokes and you look so serious ! Don’t take everything so serious!
He looks like he needs some carbs. He been doing too much ketosis.
