I can vouch changing your identity is the "secret" to long-term lifestyle change. The way I saw myself when I was more of a "Dad bod" or "Skinny-fat" type vs. how I started to see myself even as the transformation was in progress let alone now couldn't be more different. It's been almost 5 years since I've been consistent with the gym and watching my nutrition, and it has been so good to me.
Its not a diet . sustainability lifestyle exercise is a way of healthy living. We dont seek to condone behaviors and alienate ppl from our lives that are important to us bc life isnt merely diet and exercise hopefully - its about finding meaning in so much to life and prioritizing health as being a component that helps poi t our compass in life in a meaingful direction. The Bible in one area states exercise profith little. Not none because physical wellness impacts our emotions. The choices we make how we live are effected by the ppl we strive to be. Diet and exercise clearly helps our positivity and wellbeing if we let it but ppl can be good or bad even if they dont prioritize health and theres more to life that a hard workout grilled chicken and broccoli. As healthy ppl we want our behaviors to be reflections to others especially loved ones and to ourselves.. Hope this helps even more.
"The stuff that works is not sexy, doesn't sell, and it seems insignificant. It is small habits done daily and over and over again." Layne is the embodiment of this. What a gangster.
Truth. But if a shiny object cult dogma helps someone make significant improvements in their health then they should use the shiny object as a crutch while it works for them
@@qqq111444I kind of disagree because to me a ketogenic diet when you look at, All of the mental health conditions all the metabolic conditions all of the 430 studies that are currently being done and how most of the studies done on a ketogenic diet for the past hundred years were over 50 g, And then you think about how humans drove the wooly mammoth extinct during the Ice age, as well as compare human fossils before and after the agricultural revolution... It's pretty clear to me that we are hunters and gatherers that sometimes also forage, And that the problem society is facing is that we evolved in a world with four seasons, and create a new world where you only experience summer and fall. Winter where everything is dying out or dead and mostly all you have available is meat, and spring where everything is starting up and rebooting and there's very little available, those are gone. Now you have access to all the honey all the fruits all the vegetables all of the stuff that you could only get for 2 to 4 months a year You now have access to every minute of the day and they are highly processed in a form that's worse than they've ever been and they've been genetically modified by hybridization or by genetic modification directly to have more sugar have less fiber and then our nutrient quality from the soil is getting depleted so they have less nutrition per calorie as well. Where is meat has pretty much more or less only fluctuated 5 to 10% over the past 5,000 years. It's pretty clear to me what the actual problems are. I don't think it's a crutch to let your body heal by going to what is a natural human life cycle. Sometimes you eat the things that eat other things, and sometimes you eat the things and the things they eat. If you have the genetics from maybe 10% of the human population that lives in the tropics or some island that had specifically different dietary patterns, That's another story.
I’m just ten minutes in but loved what I heard already. I have personally lost over 200 pounds and kept it off now for around 11 years. I couldn’t agree more with what Layne was saying regarding the smaller, everyday changes. A lot of times we just look at the long term end goal of losing a total sum of weight, but it’s what we do every day that leads to weekly changes, to monthly changes, to yearly changes, etc. I tried losing weight for a long time with diets and would lose 30 lbs and gain it back because the diet was over. I finally was able to get to a point where I consistently worked out, but my eating still struggled and was fighting severe depression. It probably took me around 3 years to lose all the weight just because I did have to really work at changing my lifestyle. And I will say it really was and had to be both a mental, emotional, and physical transformation. It helped me grow in ways I never thought possible and challenge myself in ways I never thought I could by doing some bodybuilding competitions after I lost all the weight, I went to grad school and got my PhD, etc. Looking back over the last 11 years it’s kind of crazy to look at all the changes, but they came with an everyday mindset and grind at working on myself. I will say though i think it’s important to have balance and have fun too, and have some good people around you who support you in the journey.
Great moment when Layne says he should probably pull back and Chris says nah tell it like it is. So glad to see this. We’re here for truth. That what wisdom is right? Cutting through the bs and telling the truth about things as they are from your experience. Really good.
From bodybuilding forums to year 2000’s slingshot mark bell’s channel collab, this guy literally enlightened the shit out of me in terms of fitness and just general skepticism with bullshit out there. Props layne
Wow! What Lane said at the start about thinking about the person you want to be and their habits, is something I've actually used myself over and over in this exact way. It allowed me to stay in shape year round, be a better husband, father and progress further with my business. I actually mentioned this in my video about how I stay lean year round! Loved this episode!
Layne killed it here. Obviously I know he is being himself but overplays a role when he calls out people, but it’s also good to see him when he’s dropping knowledge and viewpoint while acting normal.
Can't wait to watch this one. Pretty sure somehow Layne will manage to ignite such a passion behind Vegans, Carnivoires, Ketos, and pretty much every other Diet Tribe under the sun that by the end of the interview, everyone will hate him 💀
I’ve lost 70 lbs and kept it off 5 years. 100% see the future you and or people who you want to be like and model yourself after them. Ups and downs will come but love the process and you’re golden.
Forgot who it was that I heard it from, probably Simon Sinek, but often we ask kids what they want to be instead of who they want to be. This question of identifying and showcasing the qualities of this ideal person you are to grow into seems to be what’s missing in conversations. You are what you think about l. You stop caring and worrying about your past vices in nearly all of your day to day
When I was in my 20s-30s, I was vegan for 10 years and lifted weights. Sure, I had plenty of muscles, but I started to show signs of malnutrition (non-healing sores) and my digestion was horrible (diarrhea, loose stools, bloating and gas). I am much happier on an omnivore diet with whole foods and virtually zero processed food, while supplementing gelatin/collagen for my joints and tendons.
@@MartinoNotts It has been 20 years since I started eating meat again. Even so, I wasn't feeling strong again until I started supplementing gelatin/collagen, MSM, Mg Citrate and Vit C, in my mid 40s. Now that I am 52 and started training daily again (stopped from 37-45 due to tendon pain) I feel like I am in my early to mid 30s again and am reaching towards new skills (muscle up, handstand push up, meat hook). TH-cam is great for finding new inspiration...things that I didn't even know were possible ten years ago.
Most people go vegan because of moral reasons, i dont think there is any other reason to go vegan. Its far from healthy, especially if you eat all the fake meat and processed stuff
@@peterfconley I work with Citrate for its affordability and taste, since I can buy it by the kg in powder form. It is also relatively absorbable. I know Glycinate it more absorbable, but it tastes disgusting. Carbonate is used more for antacid and is less bioavailable. Chloride is the most commonly seen in supplements due to its affordability, but has a much stronger laxative effect. These are my initial thoughts on Mg in general. There are supplements that you can buy of a blended formula, up to around 7 types of Mg, but for me I like Citrate, because I take it every day and don't want to spend a small fortune on pills. One kg of powder which lasts a year costs about the same as some bottles of pills that only last a month.
For sure! Personally I try not to overthink it too much. She puts some sort of meat and vegetables with rice/potatoes/pasta in just about every meal so I'm not too concerned. But as far as counting goes .. yeah I got no clue.
I had the same problem. But then I had a conversation with her about it and she was down to help. So now I just tell her what she can cook for me and she’s happy to do it. So I still count my calories and it’s been working great. Sometimes I guesstimate how much of some ingredients are in my plate after I weigh it, but I don’t fuzz about it too much. Remember, don’t let perfectionism get in the way of your progress. I’m down 15 pounds in the last 3 months.
What Layne explains is pretty much all you have to do, manage the quantity until you’re steadily losing weight. The human body can’t lose weight without creating a caloric deficit. I’d not over think it
love how at 1:19:40 , they go from talking about how great fibre (probiotic) is so good for you and chris switches to promote a useless expensive prebiotic drink.
Chris doesn't understand basic things. As Layne said "Competency doesn't translate to different discipline." Chris is good interviewer but he understand nothing about health.
This podcast is a gem. There is so much insight on different topics, not only the fitness and dieting but also just a general approach to live, crazy. Thank you!
I lost 130 pounds 5 years ago, Layne is 💯 correct!, I changed my identity. I am not the person anymore and I lost “friends” but met new ones more aligned with who I am now.
I came into this expecting to learn a ton about diet and exercise, and came out learning about all that AND incredible life advice. One of the best podcasts I've ever watched.
I think one of the most difficult things in my personal cut phase right now is telling myself that I’m satisfied. Jumping to food at the slightest feeling of hunger is definitely a pitfall
Iv suffered from ED sonce 11 grade when my spftball coach told us all we needed to loose weogjt as a team me being 110 lb.7 months ago.i started weoght training and researching nutrition.. meditating .iv change my whole way of thinking ..being iv never felt better .. my confidence which was zero is now a 5 lol . and listenimg to people like you .. listening to people completely opposite of you ..i take bits and partsnof it all and implement it all to what make me feel my best and strongest ..i get crap wrong all the time ..like i think just waoted 1000000 hours of cardio when i could of been doinf somthing else for more ..but thats okay .. i learned .. i lost muscle lol.. but today is day one of getting it back. No biggie. Your conent is amazing and iv only listened to 2 lol ..❤
I train in several forms of martial arts relentlessly for at least the last 4 years. I find myself resilient to pain and injuries. Even at an old age I wonder if I'm pushing myself too much with the little amount of time I have to achieve my goals.
Saladino's point on fruit helping with his electrolyte issues is that insulin itself helps with balancing that out. Not there are electrolytes in the fruit. Although potassium is an electrolyte that plants have plenty of. I don't hold any of the enthusiasts as always right, but i do listen closely to their points and how they differ from others. Great chat, by the way.
I’ve always had heaps of respect for lane but seeing him here taking the dry British banter like a champ is a side to him I didn’t expect haha what a legend
Because he's actually educated. This is common knowledge to anyone and everyone within the field of nutrition and exercise physiology. It's only the ignorant who argue extremist diets.
I appreciate Layne so much for how he’s brought so much scientific and practical clarity to the mess of diet tribes and nutrition wars. His advice on the diet that works best for you is the one that you can most easily adhere to as a lifestyle of mindful healthy balanced eating and not just a diet has freed me up so much.
Dr. Layne Norton would do so good on being the Presidental elected person on physical fitness and health. Not sure where he stands politically but he is so down to earth and compassionate we all could benefit from realistic sensible down to earth perspective on physical fitness and health.
There’s a super famous clip from Tony Robbins. If you’re actually going to stop drinking from being an alcoholic, you stop tracking the days you were sober and you literally identify yourself as “I am no longer a drinker “you change your identity similar to a non-smoker saying “I do not a smoke” when offered a cigarette
Soy foods and drinks may help reduce hot flashes and night sweats during perimenopause and menopause. This is because soy contains isoflavones, which have a weak estrogen-like effect. Clinical studies have shown that postmenopausal women who eat 20-60 grams of soy protein per day experience fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats than those who eat less soy.
32:00 I understand what he is TRYING to say. And yes, relaxation is incredibly important, but relying on alcohol to provide that relaxation for you has significant consequences and diminishing returns. There are better ways to foster and grow your ability to relax and enjoy your life without alcohol.
The chopsticks and smaller fork suggestion reminded me of something I do - tiny spoons for icecream! I realized that ice cream seems to always taste so much better on those tiny tasting spoons they give you at ice cream shops. Then you order your ice cream and what do they give you? A normal sized spoon - and you end up scarfing it down and say, "Wow, that went so fast!" I have some tiny metal spoons for eating ice cream, and it forces me to slow down, really taste and enjoy each small bite, and by the end it feels so much more satisfying
I can vouch for sleeping better if I have my morning coffee (just one a day before 9am). I think it's definitely because it revvs you up and makes you move more, and what goes up must come down. I will add I don't do much after 5pm apart from a walk so the 'crash' doesn't bother me. This is another reason I don't agree with working out in the evening, you SHOULD be 'crashing' and winding down.
I am a healthy vegan / plant eating woman. I’m not a body builder (like most people!) and find the diet super easy and yummy!! Such an easy way to stay healthy!! 🌱
@@jasoncdebussy what ‘science’? There is plenty of science showing that plant based is healthy. I get my energy from carbohydrates and calories (e.g., beans and rice) just like everyone else.
In regard to identity based changes, the book Atomic Habits by James Clear is an excellent tool for the tool bag in doing this. I’ve lost over 250lbs with no destination in mind. I started in the dark, but when I read that book it streamlined everything I was trying to figure out on my own into something much more understandable. I believe that book is always worth mentioning to anyone on a self-improvement journey.
In corroboration with the bit about sedentary and physically active workers: my job is physical, except for some days. The sedentary days I'm hungrier and eating more than on the active days. When I'm active, my "food intuition" works. When I'm passive, it's messed up.
Would be interesting to know who's a bigger burden on our healthcare system: Person A) Morbidly Obese man, years with Type 2 diabetes, maybe a bypass or two, dies at 64 from heart attack. Person B) Peter Attia, lives to 99 and receives 4 joint replacement surgeries, battles cancer twice, lives in an assisted living facility for the last 9 years of his life. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that smokers and obese people cost the US taxpayer less than people that live a really long time and ultimately end up in full-time care facilities for the last 4-10 years of their lives.
This is a very interesting angle but I think one of the aspects you might miss here is the fact growing OLD in the USA is expensive as hell, and everything you listed is the resp of the person. Whereas illness that care can be eaten by society if the person cannot afford, OR it is paid by insurance. Where as that home care is up to the person, unless they are thrown into a State run facility, and you are NOT in the taj mahal. It is an interesting question, but having seen both sides of this too many times, its not equal at all.
Afaik most people who live to old age don't live in care homes. They normally have a short battle with illness and die in hospital from pneumonia, heart disease etc. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your broader point mind.
Ive lost 50pds in 4 months. I stopped eating anything that has more than 2g of sugar. I still eat fruits. Add a walk/jog or mowing..swimming. never counted 1 calorie. I just eat healthier and no sugar.
And do you think the little to no sugar approach was what made you lose weight ? Or.... was it that so much of what you used to eat had >2g sugar so therefore by elimination/not eating anything that's >2g sugar , you're no longer consuming as many calories and eating less. Caloric restriction.
@BlackstoneJ sugar turns to fat. Processed sugars turn to fat and are awful. It's not lower calories i ate alot of calories still and alot of avocados. Again...not 1 time did I pay attention to calories or carbs. Didn't look or care. Just stopped sugar. I've also been bad drinking mainly zero sugar pop Hardly any water. I'm working on that next lol. It's amazing how many good foods or high protein foods that have a lot of sugar. Like canned chili. Canned vegetables. Just try not to eat over 2 grams of sugar. I do eat whatever I want. I eat a lot of cherries. Strawberries..apples. I don't diet. Even the 1g sugar vanilla icecream in pints are so good. Just look at how much sugar is in everything. Crazy.
@@ThePortalTheory exactly why I asked you that question. I had a feeling you were going with the whole "it's sugar that makes you fat so by removing all sugars from my diet , I lost weight" . Time and time again. NO. Cutting out all the sugar from your diet means in your case you did not eat foods containing>2g sugar , therefore you stopped consuming ALL ( according to you) of the high calorie foods that contained >2g that you would've normally. You're restricting caloric intake my guy, whether you like it or not. You restricted calories and moved more . Energy balance. You were in a caloric deficit. You cannot lose weight by removing sugar and maintaining the same caloric intake . Also you said " it's not lower calories I ate alot of calories still and alot of avocados . Again ... Not one time did I pay attention to calories or carbs. Didn't look or care".. ok, so you admittedly didn't pay any attention at all to your calories , YET you argue that your weight loss isn't from lowering calories and you apparently ate lots of calories. Make it make sense ??? How can you not pay attention to your calories ( your words) , but then claim you ate alot of calories during this low sugar diet ... In order to claim you ate alot of calories one would have to measure them . I'm sorry but your logic is extremely flawed here. You cannot also make the argument that its NOT a calorie deficit when you're not measuring calories . You and all the rest of these people need to understand that weight loss is about energy balance. Put yourself in a caloric deficit by whatever means ( removing sugar, removing whatever ) , and over time you will lose weight. You did not lose weight cause you stopped eating sugar. You lost weight cause you at less calories and burned more.
I feel like one potential drawback of glp-1 memetics might be that in response to lower consumption the food industry may make even more calorically dense, even more palatable food. You appetite being supressed is all well and good until that one meal you have goes from 1000cal to 2500cal, then youll just gain weight again
Is magnesium not a tier 1 supplement since there 100s of papers showing our soil is low in magnesium. 1:1 Mg:Ca and Omega 3 who eats fish everyday is COD liver oil a good go too?
On being world class and having fun: I'm sure there are other examples but prime Eden Hazard was world class because he was having fun. You could see he just loved playing football. He's also well known for not training that hard because he didn't enjoy it and being a family man like almost no other in professional football.
Bro the comments on the short form carnivore diet videos are brutal and clearly those same people did not hear the part where he talks about being diet agnostic and the study basically was inconclusive on which diet is the best.
I heard a video of layne talking about seed oils and it pissed me off lol speaks volumes of how I was thinking but after this he seems like a awesome dude
29:52 Correlation vs. causation - believing you are more likely to be injured during exercise doesn’t necessarily *make* you more likely to be injured during exercise. It can be people who are more likely to be injured are oftentimes aware of their increased vulnerability.
First time listener and I like the content, but man the ads.... You have the real ads that interrupt TH-cam and then the in video ads. Those 2 combined is about 10 mins of ads per hour. Waaaay too much. Of course your channel is doing well, so why would you care about my opinion, but for me this high ad to content ratio is the thing stopping me from finishing this video and probably seeing future videos.
He says that carnivore diet is likely experiencing the benefits they see because they are substituting the unhealthy food of the standard american diet, with more meat. However, when he references the fiber study, he seems to think that its the fiber driving benefits, not the same principal where you are eating less of the junk in the standard american diet. Why does that logic apply to one, but not the other?
If you listen to some of his other talks, he addresses this. While fiber does have correlation to health, so does decrease in fat. So any diet that decreases your fat will make you more healthy. Are you as healthy as you possibly could be if you also ate fiber? Maybe not, but being overweight is one of the worst things you can do for your health. So any diet that you can stick to is better.
The carnivore diet is an elimination diet. Majority of the benefits achieved are directly through what is being removed (and also weight loss plays a huge role for many - its often the primary reason for starting the diet). Adding fiber to your diet (addition/inclusion) is the opposite of elimination. The benefit from fiber is seen without the need of removing anything else from the diet. You may replace poor food choices with higher fiber/nutrient dense foods, but it's not required to see positive change.
28:01 here I personally disagree. It's about nervous system regulation. As is why diets, and everything else, fail(s). Maybe get Irene Lyon on your show? She'll shed light on this and on top of that, she has a performance background too ☺
Man, I wish this channel could advise/talk about skinny guys on gaining weight because its like everyone just wants to talk about obesity. If you are poor, you might be skinny because you just don't eat due to time constraints around labor schedules. Its the same everywhere, with Tom Delauer, Peter Attia, or Huberman, always talking about losing fat. Because if you are skinny it is not just whether you are eating a ton, you could just be a natural fidgeter like Layne Norton has said in the past. Its hard to keep that muscle on long term, because its such a conscious decision to force feed yourself to eat, and keep that going on for months till its a habit. Why I like listening to these guys like Andy Galpin is cause it reminds, hey there are guys out there exercising, I should too, and the brain needs that jolt. TH-cam is great not just for the content but for the daily alarm bell that these videos represent.
Love the podcast but let the guest talk more, you rush into the next question as they are still offering insight into their statements. I understand there’s a time limit & you have questions you want to ask but relax a little bit
It's sort of shocking to me that Layne Norton has to tell people that oatmeal is good or that mysli is good or like whole grains in general, dark pasta or rice, potato, or broccoli/whatever vegetables and fruits are good. Didn't people's moms tell them this from the first day they were a grumpy kid about eating food? The funny thing to me about fibrous foods is that you can almost tell a thing you put in your mouth either has or doesn't have high fiber content. Like you feel it when you bite and chew. The soy or milk discussions always entertain me. Because when people go to steroids, aka superphysiological amounts of testosterone in body, they grow boobs. And the people talking about soy and milk are afraid of growing boobs and want more testosterone and less estrogen in their foods. Newton being huge on occultism warmed my heart when I read about it. Some of those great minds really used their creativity and imagination to enrich their life. I feel like they should've asked the participants how did they feel after a day of 1200 kcals. Because it's sort of that level of energy where you are rather lethargic, stomach grumbling, headache and you're about to start screaming and slamming the walls. But when did the average half-life of caffeine shift from 5 hours to 9 hours?
Key for me for healthy weight, lifestyle and nutrition was fixing my sleep. You are not as hungry as you think you are, you are just sleep deprived I've found!
From an overview it seems like we should eat in a way that is sustainable for us, minimize processed foods, prioritize protein, and some form of fiber. Okay, I can do that... maybe need a bit more fiber. 😂
27:35 younhave to have to love it.. have a passion.. im wear a CGM roght now cause im interested and find how food effects me and my mood ..anxitety stress and how my glucose is effected.. when o feel stressed or anxoety goes up , lack of sleep ( my biggest problem) making me craving crap, not loose fat.. .not heal fast enought .and conparing all that what number my glocose is at! .life is a experiment!😅
I don´t get the endless discussion why vegans should stop creating meat-like meals. It´s the way you can still have the taste, without any animal getting killed or hurt. I think many people, including Chris, see vegan diet more as a lifestyle choice from health perspective and not from ethical point of view.
Over at Mark Bell's channel about 5 years ago this guy and carnivore doctor Shawn Baker had a discussion about nutrition, carnivore and related topics. Shawn's book is still a good intro to the carnivore way of eating by the way for those interested
1:42:30-1:43:35 it’s ok you guys don’t understand, those really smart people mastered something in the physical, then moved to the metaphysical. Maybe this life time, maybe in another 200…but you for sure will learn too. 🙏🏼
I compare this to what Scott Galloway said. “I can make you rich if you give me 30 years of investing.” “I can make you healthy and ripped if you give me 10 years.” We just used to say “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Guess that wasn’t on the nose enough.
Please get Dr. Anthony Chaffee on. He deserves the publicity. The guy is constantly working to get people healthy and sets hours and hours aside each week to SPECIFICALLY answer health related questions from nobody’s like me. No he’s not a Zealot like Layne Norton believes.
From the information I’ve gathered…most people are not upset about obese or diabetic people using Ozempic. Folks are upset at the celebrities who don’t really need it, and who have taken over the Ozempic availability, so normal people who are truly struggling with legit health problems due to obesity have a hard time finding the medication. They believe that celebrities are just lazy and entitled, and always get away with everything due to their acquisition privileges. I’m sure there are people who feel upset cuz they believe that if they could lose the weight with hard work, why can’t others? Yet, they don’t understand that everyone has different levels of resilience, unresolved trauma, and temperament, which lead some people to behave differently.
I am in the process of getting divorced, since my dearest husband wanted a poly-marriage, came out of the blue for me. I feel like traditional values are dying. I still have hope to find a new life partner, but I really never wanted to get divorced :/. Let's hope marriage number 2 will last till death.
Dare to be different people, not like the herd. You can do it. Practice self-discipline, not just with food and exercise but with everything in your life: paying bills, cleaning your car, relationships, etc.; self-discipline is a neural network that must be strengthened. Then your health will just be part of that self-discipline. Go get em...
The comments are interesting. Let's see if I got this right. If you consume animal protein, you have an easier time making gains but you're a dick for not considering animals, climate and/or the planet. And if you consume vegetable protein, you have a harder time making gains but you're a better person because you're virtuous and not as selfish. Is that a fair synopsis?

"The stuff that works is not sexy, doesn't sell, and it seems insignificant. It is small habits done daily and over and over again."
Layne is the embodiment of this. What a gangster.
Truth. But if a shiny object cult dogma helps someone make significant improvements in their health then they should use the shiny object as a crutch while it works for them
@@qqq111444I kind of disagree because to me a ketogenic diet when you look at, All of the mental health conditions all the metabolic conditions all of the 430 studies that are currently being done and how most of the studies done on a ketogenic diet for the past hundred years were over 50 g, And then you think about how humans drove the wooly mammoth extinct during the Ice age, as well as compare human fossils before and after the agricultural revolution...
It's pretty clear to me that we are hunters and gatherers that sometimes also forage, And that the problem society is facing is that we evolved in a world with four seasons, and create a new world where you only experience summer and fall. Winter where everything is dying out or dead and mostly all you have available is meat, and spring where everything is starting up and rebooting and there's very little available, those are gone. Now you have access to all the honey all the fruits all the vegetables all of the stuff that you could only get for 2 to 4 months a year You now have access to every minute of the day and they are highly processed in a form that's worse than they've ever been and they've been genetically modified by hybridization or by genetic modification directly to have more sugar have less fiber and then our nutrient quality from the soil is getting depleted so they have less nutrition per calorie as well.
Where is meat has pretty much more or less only fluctuated 5 to 10% over the past 5,000 years.
It's pretty clear to me what the actual problems are. I don't think it's a crutch to let your body heal by going to what is a natural human life cycle. Sometimes you eat the things that eat other things, and sometimes you eat the things and the things they eat.
If you have the genetics from maybe 10% of the human population that lives in the tropics or some island that had specifically different dietary patterns, That's another story.
I’m just ten minutes in but loved what I heard already. I have personally lost over 200 pounds and kept it off now for around 11 years. I couldn’t agree more with what Layne was saying regarding the smaller, everyday changes. A lot of times we just look at the long term end goal of losing a total sum of weight, but it’s what we do every day that leads to weekly changes, to monthly changes, to yearly changes, etc. I tried losing weight for a long time with diets and would lose 30 lbs and gain it back because the diet was over. I finally was able to get to a point where I consistently worked out, but my eating still struggled and was fighting severe depression. It probably took me around 3 years to lose all the weight just because I did have to really work at changing my lifestyle. And I will say it really was and had to be both a mental, emotional, and physical transformation. It helped me grow in ways I never thought possible and challenge myself in ways I never thought I could by doing some bodybuilding competitions after I lost all the weight, I went to grad school and got my PhD, etc. Looking back over the last 11 years it’s kind of crazy to look at all the changes, but they came with an everyday mindset and grind at working on myself. I will say though i think it’s important to have balance and have fun too, and have some good people around you who support you in the journey.
La creme de la creme, we had Menno, now Layne Norton. Congrats for the quality of your guests
Ditto. Quality of content has been home run after home run.
Less health cult more science
La crème de la crème
@@tagadone I know, I dont have the accents and I didn't look for it:)
Also had Mike Israetel a while ago. The best of the best in this space.
@@MMAoracle Chris has been killing it with his content lately.
Great moment when Layne says he should probably pull back and Chris says nah tell it like it is. So glad to see this. We’re here for truth. That what wisdom is right? Cutting through the bs and telling the truth about things as they are from your experience. Really good.
From bodybuilding forums to year 2000’s slingshot mark bell’s channel collab, this guy literally enlightened the shit out of me in terms of fitness and just general skepticism with bullshit out there. Props layne
Layne was one of my first inspirations in natural bodybuilding and then science communication. I got a signed copy of his first DVD when I was like 19
Layne has earned the right and ability to teach others by the quality of his real world life experiences....
And his knowledge and interpretation and explanation of science.
Wow! What Lane said at the start about thinking about the person you want to be and their habits, is something I've actually used myself over and over in this exact way.
It allowed me to stay in shape year round, be a better husband, father and progress further with my business. I actually mentioned this in my video about how I stay lean year round!
Loved this episode!
Goat
Layne Norton has an incredible depth of knowledge, not only wrt. nutrition, but also training.
The fact that we can just have this information available to us with a quick search is pretty awesome
Layne killed it here. Obviously I know he is being himself but overplays a role when he calls out people, but it’s also good to see him when he’s dropping knowledge and viewpoint while acting normal.
Can't wait to watch this one. Pretty sure somehow Layne will manage to ignite such a passion behind Vegans, Carnivoires, Ketos, and pretty much every other Diet Tribe under the sun that by the end of the interview, everyone will hate him 💀
It’s not just Layne, it’s any evidence against or questioning or asking for evidence for the diet cults.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve lost 70 lbs and kept it off 5 years. 100% see the future you and or people who you want to be like and model yourself after them. Ups and downs will come but love the process and you’re golden.
Loved the info in this interview!
The quality of guests on this podcast is phenomenal. Thanks for all you do, Chris.
It’s a great job because he’s a nerd about this stuff like me. So he gets to talk to experts and get paid for it
Forgot who it was that I heard it from, probably Simon Sinek, but often we ask kids what they want to be instead of who they want to be. This question of identifying and showcasing the qualities of this ideal person you are to grow into seems to be what’s missing in conversations. You are what you think about l. You stop caring and worrying about your past vices in nearly all of your day to day
When I was in my 20s-30s, I was vegan for 10 years and lifted weights. Sure, I had plenty of muscles, but I started to show signs of malnutrition (non-healing sores) and my digestion was horrible (diarrhea, loose stools, bloating and gas). I am much happier on an omnivore diet with whole foods and virtually zero processed food, while supplementing gelatin/collagen for my joints and tendons.
@@MartinoNotts It has been 20 years since I started eating meat again. Even so, I wasn't feeling strong again until I started supplementing gelatin/collagen, MSM, Mg Citrate and Vit C, in my mid 40s. Now that I am 52 and started training daily again (stopped from 37-45 due to tendon pain) I feel like I am in my early to mid 30s again and am reaching towards new skills (muscle up, handstand push up, meat hook). TH-cam is great for finding new inspiration...things that I didn't even know were possible ten years ago.
Most people go vegan because of moral reasons, i dont think there is any other reason to go vegan. Its far from healthy, especially if you eat all the fake meat and processed stuff
@@chdaoI use Mg Citrate too, but I’m thinking about changing to Mg Carbonate for its better solubility in water. Thoughts?
@@peterfconley I work with Citrate for its affordability and taste, since I can buy it by the kg in powder form. It is also relatively absorbable. I know Glycinate it more absorbable, but it tastes disgusting. Carbonate is used more for antacid and is less bioavailable. Chloride is the most commonly seen in supplements due to its affordability, but has a much stronger laxative effect. These are my initial thoughts on Mg in general. There are supplements that you can buy of a blended formula, up to around 7 types of Mg, but for me I like Citrate, because I take it every day and don't want to spend a small fortune on pills. One kg of powder which lasts a year costs about the same as some bottles of pills that only last a month.
@@chdaodo you just get gelatin from bone broth, or do you take a supplement. If so how much a day
Been following Layne for well over 10 years and he is such a no bullshit guy. Legend in the natty world.
Exactly
I stopped counting calories and macros because I have no idea what my mother puts in her cooking and neither does she hahaha.
For sure! Personally I try not to overthink it too much. She puts some sort of meat and vegetables with rice/potatoes/pasta in just about every meal so I'm not too concerned. But as far as counting goes .. yeah I got no clue.
Literally me.
Living at home with parents has its pros and cons
Cook your own food. That simple.
I had the same problem. But then I had a conversation with her about it and she was down to help. So now I just tell her what she can cook for me and she’s happy to do it. So I still count my calories and it’s been working great. Sometimes I guesstimate how much of some ingredients are in my plate after I weigh it, but I don’t fuzz about it too much. Remember, don’t let perfectionism get in the way of your progress. I’m down 15 pounds in the last 3 months.
What Layne explains is pretty much all you have to do, manage the quantity until you’re steadily losing weight. The human body can’t lose weight without creating a caloric deficit.
I’d not over think it
love how at 1:19:40 , they go from talking about how great fibre (probiotic) is so good for you and chris switches to promote a useless expensive prebiotic drink.
He said he will sacrifice for 20 percent more. That's his life goal. To push. Hope he doesn't lose his focus on the greater thing.
Chris doesn't understand basic things. As Layne said "Competency doesn't translate to different discipline." Chris is good interviewer but he understand nothing about health.
Soooooo true hahahaah
Really enjoyed and valued everything discussed in this, but especially “the periodization of life” part 🤓❤️🙏
This podcast is a gem. There is so much insight on different topics, not only the fitness and dieting but also just a general approach to live, crazy. Thank you!
Probably one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard. I didn’t expect Lane to be so relatable. He actually changed my mind on a couple things.
I lost 130 pounds 5 years ago, Layne is 💯 correct!, I changed my identity. I am not the person anymore and I lost “friends” but met new ones more aligned with who I am now.
I came into this expecting to learn a ton about diet and exercise, and came out learning about all that AND incredible life advice. One of the best podcasts I've ever watched.
I think one of the most difficult things in my personal cut phase right now is telling myself that I’m satisfied. Jumping to food at the slightest feeling of hunger is definitely a pitfall
Layne Norton is no-nonsense
Iv suffered from ED sonce 11 grade when my spftball coach told us all we needed to loose weogjt as a team me being 110 lb.7 months ago.i started weoght training and researching nutrition.. meditating .iv change my whole way of thinking ..being iv never felt better .. my confidence which was zero is now a 5 lol . and listenimg to people like you .. listening to people completely opposite of you ..i take bits and partsnof it all and implement it all to what make me feel my best and strongest ..i get crap wrong all the time ..like i think just waoted 1000000 hours of cardio when i could of been doinf somthing else for more ..but thats okay .. i learned .. i lost muscle lol.. but today is day one of getting it back. No biggie. Your conent is amazing and iv only listened to 2 lol ..❤
I train in several forms of martial arts relentlessly for at least the last 4 years. I find myself resilient to pain and injuries. Even at an old age I wonder if I'm pushing myself too much with the little amount of time I have to achieve my goals.
WOW! What a great episode!
Saladino's point on fruit helping with his electrolyte issues is that insulin itself helps with balancing that out. Not there are electrolytes in the fruit. Although potassium is an electrolyte that plants have plenty of. I don't hold any of the enthusiasts as always right, but i do listen closely to their points and how they differ from others. Great chat, by the way.
I’ve always had heaps of respect for lane but seeing him here taking the dry British banter like a champ is a side to him I didn’t expect haha what a legend
As a vegan I was expecting a pro-meat, high protein discussion. I was pleasantly suprised how even handed he was in his information
Because he's actually educated. This is common knowledge to anyone and everyone within the field of nutrition and exercise physiology. It's only the ignorant who argue extremist diets.
High protein is always good.
@@courtesywater6hi992 for building muscle, yes. For health and longevity, no.
I appreciate Layne so much for how he’s brought so much scientific and practical clarity to the mess of diet tribes and nutrition wars. His advice on the diet that works best for you is the one that you can most easily adhere to as a lifestyle of mindful healthy balanced eating and not just a diet has freed me up so much.
Thanks enjoyed, learnt heaps. All worth my time and appreciate the principles to weight loss & Health.
Dr. Layne Norton would do so good on being the Presidental elected person on physical fitness and health. Not sure where he stands politically but he is so down to earth and compassionate we all could benefit from realistic sensible down to earth perspective on physical fitness and health.
There’s a super famous clip from Tony Robbins. If you’re actually going to stop drinking from being an alcoholic, you stop tracking the days you were sober and you literally identify yourself as “I am no longer a drinker “you change your identity similar to a non-smoker saying “I do not a smoke” when offered a cigarette
The comments here are pretty even and not so hysterical. Chris has got a good crowd.
Counting calories for at least a year, focusing on whole foods and not fast food is a good way to understand what’s going into your body.
Soy foods and drinks may help reduce hot flashes and night sweats during perimenopause and menopause. This is because soy contains isoflavones, which have a weak estrogen-like effect. Clinical studies have shown that postmenopausal women who eat 20-60 grams of soy protein per day experience fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats than those who eat less soy.
Amazing podcast, as always. Gotta say, I love the neck deep shirt!!
32:00 I understand what he is TRYING to say. And yes, relaxation is incredibly important, but relying on alcohol to provide that relaxation for you has significant consequences and diminishing returns. There are better ways to foster and grow your ability to relax and enjoy your life without alcohol.
Great advice about changing your identity.
Nice Neck Deep shirt Chris! Love this pod just as much as the rest. Thanks for everything you do.
I just noticed that!
The chopsticks and smaller fork suggestion reminded me of something I do - tiny spoons for icecream! I realized that ice cream seems to always taste so much better on those tiny tasting spoons they give you at ice cream shops. Then you order your ice cream and what do they give you? A normal sized spoon - and you end up scarfing it down and say, "Wow, that went so fast!"
I have some tiny metal spoons for eating ice cream, and it forces me to slow down, really taste and enjoy each small bite, and by the end it feels so much more satisfying
I can vouch for sleeping better if I have my morning coffee (just one a day before 9am). I think it's definitely because it revvs you up and makes you move more, and what goes up must come down. I will add I don't do much after 5pm apart from a walk so the 'crash' doesn't bother me. This is another reason I don't agree with working out in the evening, you SHOULD be 'crashing' and winding down.
Do you wait 90 minutes after waking up before having caffeine? Just curious
I am a healthy vegan / plant eating woman. I’m not a body builder (like most people!) and find the diet super easy and yummy!! Such an easy way to stay healthy!! 🌱
There is no such thing as a healthy vegan
@@jasoncdebussy what brings you to that conclusion? I have been a healthy vegan for 8+ years so I guess you’re wrong??
@@jill1452Science has brought me to that conclusion. I guarantee that you aren't healthy. Where does your energy come from specifically?
@@jasoncdebussy what ‘science’? There is plenty of science showing that plant based is healthy. I get my energy from carbohydrates and calories (e.g., beans and rice) just like everyone else.
I love Neck Deep and your show!
In regard to identity based changes, the book Atomic Habits by James Clear is an excellent tool for the tool bag in doing this. I’ve lost over 250lbs with no destination in mind. I started in the dark, but when I read that book it streamlined everything I was trying to figure out on my own into something much more understandable. I believe that book is always worth mentioning to anyone on a self-improvement journey.
In corroboration with the bit about sedentary and physically active workers: my job is physical, except for some days. The sedentary days I'm hungrier and eating more than on the active days.
When I'm active, my "food intuition" works. When I'm passive, it's messed up.
Layne Norton and Dr. Mike? Woo!!
Would be interesting to know who's a bigger burden on our healthcare system:
Person A) Morbidly Obese man, years with Type 2 diabetes, maybe a bypass or two, dies at 64 from heart attack.
Person B) Peter Attia, lives to 99 and receives 4 joint replacement surgeries, battles cancer twice, lives in an assisted living facility for the last 9 years of his life.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that smokers and obese people cost the US taxpayer less than people that live a really long time and ultimately end up in full-time care facilities for the last 4-10 years of their lives.
This is a very interesting angle but I think one of the aspects you might miss here is the fact growing OLD in the USA is expensive as hell, and everything you listed is the resp of the person. Whereas illness that care can be eaten by society if the person cannot afford, OR it is paid by insurance. Where as that home care is up to the person, unless they are thrown into a State run facility, and you are NOT in the taj mahal. It is an interesting question, but having seen both sides of this too many times, its not equal at all.
Afaik most people who live to old age don't live in care homes. They normally have a short battle with illness and die in hospital from pneumonia, heart disease etc. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your broader point mind.
Actually, DrShawnBaker just had a post that had statistics that showed age vs illness and illness far outweighed cost that age+healthy.
Ive lost 50pds in 4 months. I stopped eating anything that has more than 2g of sugar. I still eat fruits. Add a walk/jog or mowing..swimming. never counted 1 calorie. I just eat healthier and no sugar.
Damn man. Great work. That’s inspiring
Yep, I cut way down on sugar this year too. It has really benefitted my health.
And do you think the little to no sugar approach was what made you lose weight ? Or.... was it that so much of what you used to eat had >2g sugar so therefore by elimination/not eating anything that's >2g sugar , you're no longer consuming as many calories and eating less. Caloric restriction.
@BlackstoneJ sugar turns to fat. Processed sugars turn to fat and are awful. It's not lower calories i ate alot of calories still and alot of avocados. Again...not 1 time did I pay attention to calories or carbs. Didn't look or care. Just stopped sugar. I've also been bad drinking mainly zero sugar pop
Hardly any water. I'm working on that next lol. It's amazing how many good foods or high protein foods that have a lot of sugar. Like canned chili. Canned vegetables. Just try not to eat over 2 grams of sugar. I do eat whatever I want. I eat a lot of cherries. Strawberries..apples. I don't diet. Even the 1g sugar vanilla icecream in pints are so good. Just look at how much sugar is in everything. Crazy.
@@ThePortalTheory exactly why I asked you that question. I had a feeling you were going with the whole "it's sugar that makes you fat so by removing all sugars from my diet , I lost weight" . Time and time again. NO. Cutting out all the sugar from your diet means in your case you did not eat foods containing>2g sugar , therefore you stopped consuming ALL ( according to you) of the high calorie foods that contained >2g that you would've normally. You're restricting caloric intake my guy, whether you like it or not. You restricted calories and moved more . Energy balance. You were in a caloric deficit. You cannot lose weight by removing sugar and maintaining the same caloric intake . Also you said " it's not lower calories I ate alot of calories still and alot of avocados . Again ... Not one time did I pay attention to calories or carbs. Didn't look or care".. ok, so you admittedly didn't pay any attention at all to your calories , YET you argue that your weight loss isn't from lowering calories and you apparently ate lots of calories. Make it make sense ??? How can you not pay attention to your calories ( your words) , but then claim you ate alot of calories during this low sugar diet ... In order to claim you ate alot of calories one would have to measure them . I'm sorry but your logic is extremely flawed here. You cannot also make the argument that its NOT a calorie deficit when you're not measuring calories . You and all the rest of these people need to understand that weight loss is about energy balance. Put yourself in a caloric deficit by whatever means ( removing sugar, removing whatever ) , and over time you will lose weight. You did not lose weight cause you stopped eating sugar. You lost weight cause you at less calories and burned more.
Awesome interview, love the content. I would love to see you get Jeff Nippard on the show if there's any way you can make that happen
I feel like one potential drawback of glp-1 memetics might be that in response to lower consumption the food industry may make even more calorically dense, even more palatable food. You appetite being supressed is all well and good until that one meal you have goes from 1000cal to 2500cal, then youll just gain weight again
Reupload? I feel like I've already seen this... either way watching again.
I was wondering if they already had one before or those were clips to promote this one.
He's said most of this stuff multiple times, he's just being interviewed by someone different.
Is magnesium not a tier 1 supplement since there 100s of papers showing our soil is low in magnesium. 1:1 Mg:Ca and Omega 3 who eats fish everyday is COD liver oil a good go too?
On being world class and having fun: I'm sure there are other examples but prime Eden Hazard was world class because he was having fun. You could see he just loved playing football.
He's also well known for not training that hard because he didn't enjoy it and being a family man like almost no other in professional football.
Bro the comments on the short form carnivore diet videos are brutal and clearly those same people did not hear the part where he talks about being diet agnostic and the study basically was inconclusive on which diet is the best.
I heard a video of layne talking about seed oils and it pissed me off lol speaks volumes of how I was thinking but after this he seems like a awesome dude
Layne and Dr Mike would make a great couple.
29:52 Correlation vs. causation - believing you are more likely to be injured during exercise doesn’t necessarily *make* you more likely to be injured during exercise. It can be people who are more likely to be injured are oftentimes aware of their increased vulnerability.
This guy is super freaking hella smart
First time listener and I like the content, but man the ads....
You have the real ads that interrupt TH-cam and then the in video ads. Those 2 combined is about 10 mins of ads per hour. Waaaay too much.
Of course your channel is doing well, so why would you care about my opinion, but for me this high ad to content ratio is the thing stopping me from finishing this video and probably seeing future videos.
He says that carnivore diet is likely experiencing the benefits they see because they are substituting the unhealthy food of the standard american diet, with more meat.
However, when he references the fiber study, he seems to think that its the fiber driving benefits, not the same principal where you are eating less of the junk in the standard american diet.
Why does that logic apply to one, but not the other?
If you listen to some of his other talks, he addresses this.
While fiber does have correlation to health, so does decrease in fat.
So any diet that decreases your fat will make you more healthy.
Are you as healthy as you possibly could be if you also ate fiber?
Maybe not, but being overweight is one of the worst things you can do for your health. So any diet that you can stick to is better.
The carnivore diet is an elimination diet. Majority of the benefits achieved are directly through what is being removed (and also weight loss plays a huge role for many - its often the primary reason for starting the diet).
Adding fiber to your diet (addition/inclusion) is the opposite of elimination. The benefit from fiber is seen without the need of removing anything else from the diet. You may replace poor food choices with higher fiber/nutrient dense foods, but it's not required to see positive change.
I was literally watching the podcast from The Diary Of A CEO 3 months ago and this popped up on my recommended, lol
Which one? Mind sharing here?
28:01 here I personally disagree. It's about nervous system regulation. As is why diets, and everything else, fail(s). Maybe get Irene Lyon on your show? She'll shed light on this and on top of that, she has a performance background too ☺
Man, I wish this channel could advise/talk about skinny guys on gaining weight because its like everyone just wants to talk about obesity. If you are poor, you might be skinny because you just don't eat due to time constraints around labor schedules. Its the same everywhere, with Tom Delauer, Peter Attia, or Huberman, always talking about losing fat. Because if you are skinny it is not just whether you are eating a ton, you could just be a natural fidgeter like Layne Norton has said in the past. Its hard to keep that muscle on long term, because its such a conscious decision to force feed yourself to eat, and keep that going on for months till its a habit. Why I like listening to these guys like Andy Galpin is cause it reminds, hey there are guys out there exercising, I should too, and the brain needs that jolt. TH-cam is great not just for the content but for the daily alarm bell that these videos represent.
Love the podcast but let the guest talk more, you rush into the next question as they are still offering insight into their statements. I understand there’s a time limit & you have questions you want to ask but relax a little bit
It's especially irking because Chris tends to yap quite a bit when it comes to things he likes but rushes his guests😂
Be wise to be weary of people who refer to themslef in the third person.
I’m all for eating ice cubes and photosynthesis 🌱 🕺🏼
It's sort of shocking to me that Layne Norton has to tell people that oatmeal is good or that mysli is good or like whole grains in general, dark pasta or rice, potato, or broccoli/whatever vegetables and fruits are good. Didn't people's moms tell them this from the first day they were a grumpy kid about eating food? The funny thing to me about fibrous foods is that you can almost tell a thing you put in your mouth either has or doesn't have high fiber content. Like you feel it when you bite and chew.
The soy or milk discussions always entertain me. Because when people go to steroids, aka superphysiological amounts of testosterone in body, they grow boobs. And the people talking about soy and milk are afraid of growing boobs and want more testosterone and less estrogen in their foods.
Newton being huge on occultism warmed my heart when I read about it. Some of those great minds really used their creativity and imagination to enrich their life.
I feel like they should've asked the participants how did they feel after a day of 1200 kcals. Because it's sort of that level of energy where you are rather lethargic, stomach grumbling, headache and you're about to start screaming and slamming the walls.
But when did the average half-life of caffeine shift from 5 hours to 9 hours?
Key for me for healthy weight, lifestyle and nutrition was fixing my sleep. You are not as hungry as you think you are, you are just sleep deprived I've found!
Bottom line balance is key and do something you can sustain for the rest of your life.
Awesome vid!!
Comment for the algorithm!! 🙌
What an awesome episode
From an overview it seems like we should eat in a way that is sustainable for us, minimize processed foods, prioritize protein, and some form of fiber. Okay, I can do that... maybe need a bit more fiber. 😂
Layne is great, too many fitness/nutrition charlatans out there. It's nice to hear the hard truths
1:13:17 The most important quote of the whole show.
That Maui Nui ad placement couldn’t have been better timed hahaha
27:35 younhave to have to love it.. have a passion.. im wear a CGM roght now cause im interested and find how food effects me and my mood ..anxitety stress and how my glucose is effected.. when o feel stressed or anxoety goes up , lack of sleep ( my biggest problem) making me craving crap, not loose fat.. .not heal fast enought .and conparing all that what number my glocose is at! .life is a experiment!😅
I think that a lot of people in this subject have moved beyond this way of thinking.
I don´t get the endless discussion why vegans should stop creating meat-like meals. It´s the way you can still have the taste, without any animal getting killed or hurt. I think many people, including Chris, see vegan diet more as a lifestyle choice from health perspective and not from ethical point of view.
Over at Mark Bell's channel about 5 years ago this guy and carnivore doctor Shawn Baker had a discussion about nutrition, carnivore and related topics. Shawn's book is still a good intro to the carnivore way of eating by the way for those interested
Glad Layne and other evidence based folks are getting platformed with actual practical non-shiny-object cult diets.
1:42:30-1:43:35 it’s ok you guys don’t understand, those really smart people mastered something in the physical, then moved to the metaphysical. Maybe this life time, maybe in another 200…but you for sure will learn too. 🙏🏼
Never give up.
I compare this to what Scott Galloway said. “I can make you rich if you give me 30 years of investing.” “I can make you healthy and ripped if you give me 10 years.” We just used to say “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Guess that wasn’t on the nose enough.
Please get Dr. Anthony Chaffee on. He deserves the publicity. The guy is constantly working to get people healthy and sets hours and hours aside each week to SPECIFICALLY answer health related questions from nobody’s like me. No he’s not a Zealot like Layne Norton believes.
From the information I’ve gathered…most people are not upset about obese or diabetic people using Ozempic. Folks are upset at the celebrities who don’t really need it, and who have taken over the Ozempic availability, so normal people who are truly struggling with legit health problems due to obesity have a hard time finding the medication. They believe that celebrities are just lazy and entitled, and always get away with everything due to their acquisition privileges. I’m sure there are people who feel upset cuz they believe that if they could lose the weight with hard work, why can’t others? Yet, they don’t understand that everyone has different levels of resilience, unresolved trauma, and temperament, which lead some people to behave differently.
Layne: what are we supposed to do? Eat ice cubes and photosynthesize? lol 1:52:50. 1:52:56
I am in the process of getting divorced, since my dearest husband wanted a poly-marriage, came out of the blue for me. I feel like traditional values are dying. I still have hope to find a new life partner, but I really never wanted to get divorced :/. Let's hope marriage number 2 will last till death.
Dare to be different people, not like the herd. You can do it. Practice self-discipline, not just with food and exercise but with everything in your life: paying bills, cleaning your car, relationships, etc.; self-discipline is a neural network that must be strengthened. Then your health will just be part of that self-discipline. Go get em...
Can you please have Dr John Delony on for a very long episode??
The peanut butter and cereal serving overestimation was a direct attack hahah
My husband had a perforation in his intestines from diverticulitis because of nit enough fiber.
The comments are interesting. Let's see if I got this right. If you consume animal protein, you have an easier time making gains but you're a dick for not considering animals, climate and/or the planet. And if you consume vegetable protein, you have a harder time making gains but you're a better person because you're virtuous and not as selfish. Is that a fair synopsis?
Lol yes
