At 52, I'm stronger and leaner than I was in my 20s and 30s because of the influx of science backed information that's freely available to us. Thanks for the work you put into it, Jeff.

      Except research proven longevity diets. High protien is actually proven to reduce human longevity by a lot.
      The best diet for longevity is low protien, no processed foods, high intake of root veggies like ube… fish like once a week.
      If you want to gain muscle sure protien… but if you want to live long then body building is the opposite of healthy in many many ways. I stopped in my 30s. Oh and the absolute worse diet is eating like a body builder every 3 hours high protien. Just be clear as to when and how much high protien diets you are willing to tolerate given it greatly reduces logevity. This means you will be in your older years with many health issues…. As oppose to just aging and dying at 100 if random cancer doesnt get you.

    Higher end if lean + train hard, lower if
    - Best 3-5 meals/day
    - High protein is not detrimental
    These tips are negligible if daily protein intake is hit:
    - Consuming >40g of (casein) protein before bed is good
    - Can effectively absorb 50-70g protein per meal
    Vegan stuff:
    - Protein quality in certain ingredients (leucine stuffs) is less important as we consume myriad of foods daily

      Here is some dreadful 'bro science' for you. Life has gray areas and you cannot simplify things or research papers into black and white like he does. People don't realize you have to apply it to yourself. He relies on that and makes money of his click bait titles and videos.
      You have to actually apply 'bro science' to it in order for it to work for you... crazy right? ..... not just 2 sided huh ? ..... = Internet.
      Those research papers at least in his videos do not show the age of each person, height, weight, genes, nutrition, sleep schedule, experience/years working out. bad habits, smoking, drinking. If they actually did the assumed workouts/schedule. and just filled a questionnaire. And so on.
      So you have to fill in your own Life into it and see what applies and what DOESN'T!!!!!. And guess what... DO MORE RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN
      Let that sink in. I'm over 60 .. ok pretty much 70.. but anyway lol You have to apply it to your own lifestyle and body. People just take this for face value, that's the problem.

    This content is absolutely complete and, so far, scientifically accurate. I’m a doctor and I’ve been training and studying nutrition and exercise for a while now, and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen about this topic. Our body makes the most of protein when we get it steadily throughout the day, so in a three-meal day, it would be better to adjust the scheme to a regular intake value (e.g 40g protein per meal 3 times vs. 100g one meal and 10g the other two).

I am 40 now, and want to give a shot a a real body change. Discipline hasn't been an issue before, but the information is what trips me.

    Hello Jeff. You probably won’t see this but I’ve massively improved my lifting simply by watching your videos. I struggled a lot of benching and squatting and failed sets because I was scared or had bad form. It was scary especially my squat where I got to depth then I was stuck, the bar fell off and I felt like I was going to die. I can proudly say that I can do my former fails with ease now. God bless you man, never stop.

    Oh this puts to rest a lot of my concerns with protein intake. I'm pretty new to working out and have been breaking my brain trying to figure out how to get enough quick and easy protein post-workout when I can't rely on dairy. With ADHD, planning meals is already hard as hell, so being able to know that timing isn't all that important and just making sure to eat different kinds of protein throughout the day is enough makes this a lot easier for me. Still a struggle but it's good to know that I'm not loosing all that much with my inability to meal plan and tendency to scrounge for food so long as that food is meeting my dietary needs.

Also love that you take the time to break down scientific research to information anybody can understand, albeit sometimes I need to see and listen to it again to fully understand. I recently started working on muscle growth and this kind of information helps me to figure out what I need to maximize my training and understand why sometimes things just don't work as I hope they do. And I also love that you mention vegan whey, that's often left out. As I recently went vegan due to health issues I am really interested in more information on working all kinds of aspects of diets and exercise into my daily routine. Keep it up, I will get around to buying your program soon!

I want to purchase one of the programs you offer, however, I’m not sure which to get. I use to go to the gym a lot, about 3-4 years ago and I mainly did cardio plus weights here and there. I lost a lot of weight but not gained much muscle by doing that. Now I would love to lose all of this weight that I’ve gained throughout the years but at the same time gain muscle (especially on my lower body, focusing on glutes) and get stronger. Which of the problems better suits me?

I really don't see how that works as IF is specifically designed for ketogenic diets as carb based diets with IF will result in huge glycogen swings and pulses. Your pancreas will not like this and it's and easy way to decrease insulin sensitivity and push yourself towards type 2 diabetes will prolonged use. If you can make it work that's great but the science and use of IF does not support this.

    This is a fantastic video! It is incredibly informative and yet concise. It also helps settle the age old argument that I've run into over the years; how much protein is enough? I've always stuck with the 1g per pound of body weight. It's what I used when I trained and achieved the 'super hero physique' when I met my wife. It's also what I'm using now. It works for me, but maybe not for others; I'm also in the recomp stage so... In short. Eat about 3-6 proper serving sized meals each day; take in your ideal weight in grams of protein (I'd recommend isolate), 10 servings of fruit / vegetables, 120g of complex carbs. Eat health, not crap. And move more. Duffy Gaver has an epic video on fitness ethic as well.
