One of the most enjoyable and useful exchanges on fitness in the past 5 years. Measured, nuanced, no sales pitch - really well done. Ben should have a much larger platform - wishing him strength and success for the future.
Jesus these podcasts are getting better and better. Would have loved to have heard a bit on impulse control in the willpower section. The recent Alex hormozi podcast was fire too!
As a person currently on a fat loss journey, I appreciate the nuance in topics discussed as well as the tone used about the multifactorial nature of losing weight as it's a delicate topic for many. Environmental factors play a massive role in your BMI but no doubt that personal responsibility, adherence to diets and awareness of your own preferences and behaviors are the keys to sustainable weight loss.
On the willpower aspect I think something that helps me out tremendously is to try to make the process more enjoyable for me. Like at the gym I'll do large amounts of cardio, after my normal workout, just to burn calories but while doing it I'll use the time to watch a podcast I like (sometimes this one 😂) or listen to an audiobook I really enjoy and suddenly the workout isn't really that bad and I start to look forward to going or doing it because I'm rewarding/distracting myself while doing it. Also I find it a huge benefit to going to the gym in general when I could work out at home because I'm around other people. Even if I'm not talking to them I can find inspiration from them, I look around and see people with nice healthy toned bodies and well sculpted muscles and I think, awesome! These are some of the results I could achieve with enough dedication and hard work! That helps a ton with continuing the process.
Bravo fellas. Great episode. I have Ben’s book and it’s great. I give it out as a resource to my patients. We set up a home gym and I have zero reason to not lift 4-5 days a week. 😊
While I appreciate the content, there is nothing new here. I thought it was obvious to everyone that a greater % of food choices available to us today are crap than it was 50 years ago. Also modern life has more and more conveniences which reduces the amount of work we do. Also, TV and video games, computers and smartphones are sedentary activities that are extremely popular but were not options for someone 50 years ago. So yes, it requires more will power to make better choices. Some people find this easier than others. Mindsets must be changed but they have to want to do it. Not saying it's easy...but what else to you tell a person? We are not going to throw away computers, phones, TV etc..., and you can't (shouldn't) stop a cookie maker from making and trying to sell cookies.
When I was a kid food was bad. Lots of Kool-Aid, white bread, canned veg. That might have been a key nothing had high binge danger. We also pretty much got kicked out of the house (unless we were doing homework) until dark.
I have never heard of this guy but I really enjoy listening to him speak. Quite articulate and knowledgable. Although I wish his camera wasn't tripping me up so much because he is a genuinely engaging speaker! Great guest otherwise, Chris.
51:33 Flavor fatigue Phenomenal podcast as always but particularly a great one with Ben. Lots of wisdom and nuanced in this one. Thanks for the great chat, gents!
The absence of mirrors may explain the disastrous technique many crossfitters have and the higher % of injuries in that particular sport. Also, you can flex in front of a mirror not for egotistic nor narcissistic purposes, but to create a stronger mind-muscle connection, too.
You are so sharp and perfect for this job Chris - I really think you're making the best podcasts out there by quite a long shot. Thank you thank you thank you for your skill, and sharing it and all these amazing people with the world.
My partner and I bought a cast iron deep dish pan the other week and it’s SO heavy. I thought as I was struggling to handle it “I bet women throughout history were yoked purely from domestic chores”
I'm not sure I agree that training only to change the way you look is in itself negative. If that is where you find your motivation, and that motivation transitions to outcomes, then I don't think that's a bad equation. The trick is to be doing it for yourself (not others) and be happy with achieving obtainable goals, instead of chasing increasingly unobtainable goals. I'm very happy with the progress i've made, because I only care about my view on my physique and I don't compare to others. I set achievable goals (in line with my height, build and lifestyle balance) and feel a sense of accomplishment if I achieve them. But if i'm honest, I do it solely for how it makes me look, and the increased confidence that comes with that. That's where my motivation derives from.
I would be curious to know how you set an ideal look or physique for yourself if you do not compare yourself to another human being? Where do you form an idea of what you want to look like as your goal? Especially if you've never looked like this ideal version of yourself before
I wonder could "Imposter syndrome" be a form of, "Identity dismorphia"? I've struggled with identifying as a businessman since becoming one. It's almost like I've become a butterfly but haven't left my cocoon yet. Very interesting phrase, love your work brother keep it up!
Same happened to me. I was sitting in a room full of educated people and felt I didn't belong there. I recognized through therapy that I thought I didn't deserve to be in that room because of my poor upbringing. Whilst (it felt like to me) everyone else there was superior to me. My therapist asked me if I did bring something to the table to that group that was beneficial for the project. Which I was. So I said yes. So he gave me this "mantra" to work with. He said. Everytime you feel as an imposter, look at the situation objectively and ask yourself the same question. That would help me look at my own skills and reassure myself I do belong there. Hope this helps you too. ❤

So since I was around 30 years and an adult even then, so old enough to remember, there were fewer over weight people and people didn’t graze and they weren’t encouraged to eat 5 small meals a day
30 years is the wrong timespan - I think Ben is too young, so 1990 must seem so very long ago! We had Pizza Hut and McDonalds in the UK sin 1973 and 1975 respectively. Chocolate bars and crisp packs were larger in the 1970s than today. Sedentary past-times have been around for centuries, and accelerated from the 1950s with the TV, and then from the 1970s with video games.
Disappointing the continual justifications and word-salad for reducing personal responsibility. Thus is why the problem of obesity will continue. People trying to pc themselves and not call it out.
No matter what your genetics are, you can always control your actions to alleviate the effects of bad genetics. You don't have to be a victim of your genes.
Chris, I think your a cool dude and usually interview people with great knowledge. That is the reason I followed your channel. Need more facts from your climate side of things.
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make Mistake but they don’t quit... As the economic crisis keep rising, we literally need to have different streams of income. The crypto market has plenty opportunities to earn a decent Payouts with the right skills and proper Understanding of how the market works.
Yeah you're absolutely right..... Lots of people are still making massive profits from the stock and crypto market, all you really need is some relevant information and some professional advice. It is totally inappropriate for investors to stand by as they take dips during significant market diclinism
@@bradwilson8218 A good investment requires experience and knowledge to carry out a successful operation. Professionally, it is recommended to trade with experienced brokers, who can help you increase your profits while helping you learn the trade
Well I invest with a top trader Investor Ashton Edwards you might have heard of him.. I can correctly say he's the best top trader in the world, an investment advisor as his diversification skills are great, I say this because i see that in his results as my portfolio grows by averages of 25% to 35% on a weekly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what he place and not just on some particular industries of my choosing. He gave me that financial freedom I needed
With the trading market constantly with new features, trading opportunities, financial swings and big sudden surprises around the corner opting for the help of an expert trader is usually not a bad idea.
What I understand listening to first half hour of this podcast is that you are influenced by your subconscious mind which is influenced by genetics and environment. So use your consciousness to change your environment for better result. Like try to keep your fridge and house sugar free. If your subconscious mind took control and brought some sugar in the house then use concious mind to throw out that sugar in dustbin so that when your subconscious mind takes over, it is not there. Try to influence your friends/ family members behaviour because if they are eating something near you, then sooner or later you will eat too
Sorry Chris. I made it to the 7 minute mark, and all I heard from Mr Carpenter was ANY form of self-improvement is body dysmorphia. He states that once a person crosses the imaginary line of training for sports to appreciate an aesthetic quality the subject now has a diagnosable condition. When will these 'experts' (qualifications please) stop re-labelling any form of healthy practice as some type of phobia requiring therapy? We are so sick of it. What happened to Dr Peterson's ethic of self-improvement? What about Jocko's example of the 0430am grind? What about recognizing the positive feedback loop of training to improved health and hormone function to more and better quality training. No more of this leftist crap!
Fell asleep, did they ever mention weight loss isn't as important as fat loss and muscle gain? Example, I eat in a calorie surplus at 4,000 calories a day and have lost fat and gained muscle over 3 months. My girlfriend eats in a deficit at 1,700 calories a day and has lost fat and muscle. She now struggles to lose weight at all and when I cut calories I lose fat even faster. Told her to eat more to support our weight training or she would regret it when I cut weight again. Now she has to live on 1,200 calories for any weight loss and she could have been happy losing weight at 2,000 calories a day if she hadn't gutted her muscles. Calories in calories out is weight. Fat loss is exercise and high protein, high fiber (just do that last bit for gut health with all the protein. Trust me)
Did all the genetic and non-agency causes appear in the last 45 years? The fact is obesity was rare in the 60s and 70s and it is common 45 years later. This discussion reminds of the treatment of alcoholism. To my knowledge, alcoholics only get control when they decide to stop drinking. They can find a higher power in AA, group therapy, or willpower, but you won’t get better if you ever have a drink for the rest of your life. How is obesity different? Each day you wake up and make a decision to not do something. Other people can drink alcohol/eat certain foods, but you cannot. Controlling either condition may be more difficult for you, but the alternative is horrible.
I agree. Obviously, there are variables in how people experience food. However, the arm still needs to move in conjunction with the hand to bring the doughnuts to the mouth. Food options are worse and less healthy, but you still have to choose the crap and then eat the crap. I don't consume fast food or pop. People can start there.
very surface level id say. would love to see you have a talk with someone like dr jack kruse or Sarah kleiner wellness. these guys are really delving deep into quantum biology showing that food does play a role but the way it actually works is something we dont consider
Disappointed that you guys didn't go into gut biome and how microbes can control cravings for certain foods and the more you eat healthy foods the more you will crave that over caloric dense foods. What is this guys opinion on that? Just curious if he found similar results in his research on healthy diets.
not sure if this is just me, but the video keeps flickering, showing a different image or flickering. it's very disorienting, have to actually just not watch the video and instead listen to it in the background
Environment as a big influence? Absolutely! Today, people have a greater chance of failing IF they're training to look good for IG/FB/superficial dating apps! The same biscuits, bread, pasta, chocolate, chips, sodium, hydrogenated fats and decadent desserts existed 40 years ago... ... People with good genetics (a fast/moderate metabolism, an innate athleticism and a predisposition to develop muscle mass easily - fast-twitch muscle fibers) were able to eat as many calories as they wanted and REMAIN thin, shapely, strong, energetic and muscular. They could even take antidepressants notorious for fat and weight gain, and still enjoy a having a hot body. I consider myself lucky in this regard. What's different today? Even more sedentary lifestyles - possibly due to tech/social media or porn addiction. Inherited metabolic rates are STILL inherited, and visibly accurate, at an early age. Kids generally eat the same foods but look different - with no physical activity. Fitness/natural bodybuilding/Crossfit is, yet, another one of those fields were everyone longs for, or believes in, equity. Equity doesn't exist in ANY arena or subject. The only thing one can do is to give it their best - for the right reasons - and they'll get positive results... ... Achieving your goals through non-obsessive means (no calorie-counting, food weighing, portion control, weighing yourself regularly, etc..) is THE ultimate! Knowledge of wholesome food is easy to access, but harder to stick to. But it's a habit that becomes easily doable with patience, time, discipline and willfulness.
If you are overweight, you have been eating inappropriate foods. Its not your hormones, its not your gut biome, its the hypercaloric food that you have to go out of your way to avoid. You cannot just eat what's around and stay healthy. And theres nothing wrong with skipping meals. Humans are suppose to experience hunger from time to time.
can you do a podcast answering the question: gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time - and maybe the same podcast as this, just with building muscle
@@peanutnutter1 sure and I do that, it is just the science that interests me. And some people do lose fat and build muscle from one test to antoher at a later point.
Under certain circumstances such as taking PEDs, coming back from an injury/layoff or first starting training it is possible, but for most others I think it makes sense to focus on distinct phases of muscle gain or fat loss because one is done best in a caloric surplus and the other a deficit so it’s like chasing two rabbits at once
Hey Mr Personal Trainer, how would you like to explain to your clients that weight loss is a multi-factorial topic, involving the interplay of genetics, psychology and the food environment? “Nah, mate. I’ll stick to ‘low carb’ if it’s ok with you.”😂
A lot of really good information here. I hadn’t thought about how the availability of calories impacts weight. The nut example as well as fiber and nutrient absorption were good examples of this. I will of course focus on a couple of disagreements here. The first was the rat analogy. If you inject testosterone into female rats, they bite other rats more often, and I certainly wouldn’t blame the female rats, however if a woman took testosterone and became physically violent, I would blame her. If a person chooses to sit around and eat unhealthy food, I blame them. I do understand that there is more temptation to do unhealthy things. We could use this excuse for guys harassing women. There are more scantily clad women today than 10 years ago. The environment has changed and there is more temptation. I still blame the guys. The other issue is willpower. I wish they had discussed the importance of forming habits. If you choose to go for a walk every night after dinner, you don’t have to rely on willpower as it becomes a habit. Likewise, I have a set breakfast routine. I don’t need to rely on willpower to avoid muffins or bacon. I also think it would have been interesting to discuss the fat acceptance movement as I think we are loving people to death. Again, very good discussion and I came away with a better understanding of this topic.
Solution: repeat "i am worthy of love, i am worthy of achiving my goals, love is not dependent on my physique, or composition, but i WOULD LIKE and WANT to change it in a healthy way that i can keep to and sustain, i will learn everything i need to learn, do anything i need to do to handle this particular area of life and trust myself to be persistent in moving toward a satisfied solution." Done. solved obesity. We will find that we actually have wayyyyy more emotional mental issues that are at fault for predispositions particularly in America.... and people cant even finish sayingnthe above in a mirror. solve those increase awareness we can solve obesity among other social issues...
Just get people in the habit of checking the nutrition labels, counting calories, and checking prices as kids. Suddenly paying 5$ for Doritos feels like a ripoff and you stop eating like garbage
after digesting of all this info, it would still seem that fat shaming is still the only time tested positive action any individual can take on a daily basis to inspire people to put down the bagels. What do you want me to do, go to my neigbor's house and hide his donuts on a distant lower shelf and move his apples near him? THats his job. My job is shame him into this positive behavior. GO get em!

never heard of Ben before. i really like his manners and how well he contextualizes everything he talks about. immediately subscribed to his channel
Dude, I’ve been following Ben for a while now - his material is fantastic. Really glad to see you brought him on.
Ben Carpenter is one of my favorite people in the fitness industry. He does an amazing job of discussing the nuances within health.
Ben is one of the most down to earth, funny, and informative creators around.

No more of this leftist crap!
Fell asleep, did they ever mention weight loss isn't as important as fat loss and muscle gain? Example, I eat in a calorie surplus at 4,000 calories a day and have lost fat and gained muscle over 3 months. My girlfriend eats in a deficit at 1,700 calories a day and has lost fat and muscle. She now struggles to lose weight at all and when I cut calories I lose fat even faster. Told her to eat more to support our weight training or she would regret it when I cut weight again. Now she has to live on 1,200 calories for any weight loss and she could have been happy losing weight at 2,000 calories a day if she hadn't gutted her muscles. Calories in calories out is weight. Fat loss is exercise and high protein, high fiber (just do that last bit for gut health with all the protein. Trust me)
That was great!
I asked a fitness coach for his opinion based on a RCT he had no idea what I was talking about
Did all the genetic and non-agency causes appear in the last 45 years? The fact is obesity was rare in the 60s and 70s and it is common 45 years later. This discussion reminds of the treatment of alcoholism. To my knowledge, alcoholics only get control when they decide to stop drinking. They can find a higher power in AA, group therapy, or willpower, but you won’t get better if you ever have a drink for the rest of your life. How is obesity different? Each day you wake up and make a decision to not do something. Other people can drink alcohol/eat certain foods, but you cannot. Controlling either condition may be more difficult for you, but the alternative is horrible.
I agree. Obviously, there are variables in how people experience food. However, the arm still needs to move in conjunction with the hand to bring the doughnuts to the mouth. Food options are worse and less healthy, but you still have to choose the crap and then eat the crap. I don't consume fast food or pop. People can start there.
Do you know what the failure rate of AA is?
very surface level id say. would love to see you have a talk with someone like dr jack kruse or Sarah kleiner wellness. these guys are really delving deep into quantum biology showing that food does play a role but the way it actually works is something we dont consider
matter of fact when we see dr jack kruse vs andrew humberman alot of heads are going to get blown out the water
Disappointed that you guys didn't go into gut biome and how microbes can control cravings for certain foods and the more you eat healthy foods the more you will crave that over caloric dense foods. What is this guys opinion on that? Just curious if he found similar results in his research on healthy diets.
This is the Lego man come to life.
not sure if this is just me, but the video keeps flickering, showing a different image or flickering. it's very disorienting, have to actually just not watch the video and instead listen to it in the background
Environment as a big influence? Absolutely! Today, people have a greater chance of failing IF they're training to look good for IG/FB/superficial dating apps!
The same biscuits, bread, pasta, chocolate, chips, sodium, hydrogenated fats and decadent desserts existed 40 years ago...
... People with good genetics (a fast/moderate metabolism, an innate athleticism and a predisposition to develop muscle mass easily - fast-twitch muscle fibers) were able to eat as many calories as they wanted and REMAIN thin, shapely, strong, energetic and muscular. They could even take antidepressants notorious for fat and weight gain, and still enjoy a having a hot body. I consider myself lucky in this regard.
What's different today? Even more sedentary lifestyles - possibly due to tech/social media or porn addiction. Inherited metabolic rates are STILL inherited, and visibly accurate, at an early age. Kids generally eat the same foods but look different - with no physical activity.
Fitness/natural bodybuilding/Crossfit is, yet, another one of those fields were everyone longs for, or believes in, equity. Equity doesn't exist in ANY arena or subject. The only thing one can do is to give it their best - for the right reasons - and they'll get positive results...
... Achieving your goals through non-obsessive means (no calorie-counting, food weighing, portion control, weighing yourself regularly, etc..) is THE ultimate! Knowledge of wholesome food is easy to access, but harder to stick to. But it's a habit that becomes easily doable with patience, time, discipline and willfulness.
So basically:
Keep processed food away from you in some akward cupboard, while keeping whole foods within arms reach.
If you are overweight, you have been eating inappropriate foods. Its not your hormones, its not your gut biome, its the hypercaloric food that you have to go out of your way to avoid. You cannot just eat what's around and stay healthy. And theres nothing wrong with skipping meals. Humans are suppose to experience hunger from time to time.
Whats the deal with the subluminal messaging ?
can you do a podcast answering the question: gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time - and maybe the same podcast as this, just with building muscle
You're better off being overcaloried while you gain muscle and then cut back, trying to do the two at the same time is a mistake.
@@peanutnutter1 sure and I do that, it is just the science that interests me. And some people do lose fat and build muscle from one test to antoher at a later point.
Under certain circumstances such as taking PEDs, coming back from an injury/layoff or first starting training it is possible, but for most others I think it makes sense to focus on distinct phases of muscle gain or fat loss because one is done best in a caloric surplus and the other a deficit so it’s like chasing two rabbits at once
Hey Mr Personal Trainer, how would you like to explain to your clients that weight loss is a multi-factorial topic, involving the interplay of genetics, psychology and the food environment?
“Nah, mate. I’ll stick to ‘low carb’ if it’s ok with you.”😂
Bordeiu called this ‘Habitus Clive’; the disorientation of a rapid change of status
His responses are like watching a series of TikTok videos strung together. This couldn't have been an easy interview to conduct.
You might be watching too much TikTok.
A lot of really good information here. I hadn’t thought about how the availability of calories impacts weight. The nut example as well as fiber and nutrient absorption were good examples of this. I will of course focus on a couple of disagreements here. The first was the rat analogy. If you inject testosterone into female rats, they bite other rats more often, and I certainly wouldn’t blame the female rats, however if a woman took testosterone and became physically violent, I would blame her. If a person chooses to sit around and eat unhealthy food, I blame them. I do understand that there is more temptation to do unhealthy things. We could use this excuse for guys harassing women. There are more scantily clad women today than 10 years ago. The environment has changed and there is more temptation. I still blame the guys.
The other issue is willpower. I wish they had discussed the importance of forming habits. If you choose to go for a walk every night after dinner, you don’t have to rely on willpower as it becomes a habit. Likewise, I have a set breakfast routine. I don’t need to rely on willpower to avoid muffins or bacon. I also think it would have been interesting to discuss the fat acceptance movement as I think we are loving people to death. Again, very good discussion and I came away with a better understanding of this topic.
Solution: repeat "i am worthy of love, i am worthy of achiving my goals, love is not dependent on my physique, or composition, but i WOULD LIKE and WANT to change it in a healthy way that i can keep to and sustain, i will learn everything i need to learn, do anything i need to do to handle this particular area of life and trust myself to be persistent in moving toward a satisfied solution."
Done. solved obesity. We will find that we actually have wayyyyy more emotional mental issues that are at fault for predispositions particularly in America.... and people cant even finish sayingnthe above in a mirror. solve those increase awareness we can solve obesity among other social issues...
In regards to will power. Having will power boils down to attaching a trauma to it and somehow the trauma fueling will power
Gary Taubes. Do him.
You can't out train a bad diet.
I think we ought to change reference from lose "weight" to "fat". But, I'm afraid it is just not politically correct.
Hey…. Easy…. Take a deep breath….. Let’s not go after Cheetos.
Just get people in the habit of checking the nutrition labels, counting calories, and checking prices as kids. Suddenly paying 5$ for Doritos feels like a ripoff and you stop eating like garbage
Excuses, excuses, and more excuses. People with extreme circumstances are in very small minority. Most people just lack the willpower.
I think people also lack proper weight loss information as well. A lot of the time it’s all or nothing and it doesn’t need to be that way.
All good point, can't stand Ben's way of talking, and the spin at the end of all good facts. But still good information.
Re motivation: pro tip for ppl with home gyms: drink booze while you lift. You'll never skip a workout again. ;)
after digesting of all this info, it would still seem that fat shaming is still the only time tested positive action any individual can take on a daily basis to inspire people to put down the bagels. What do you want me to do, go to my neigbor's house and hide his donuts on a distant lower shelf and move his apples near him? THats his job. My job is shame him into this positive behavior. GO get em!
I am quite tall, which makes me highly genetically predisposed to head injuries, yet I was able to overcome this.
