3:46 I had COVID very badly and ended up on a ventilator. I was tube fed and by the time I got out of the medical coma I weighed 80lbs less than when I was put under. A lot of that could have been the negative effects of covid but it also could have been from the controlled calories I was slowly being given throughout the day. It was overall very negative for my health as I lost mostly muscle mass.
Thank you for the content that you put out guys! You both have that 'doctor' way of speaking which is positive and reassuring :) P.S. Am I missing something and video for the podcasts is available on some platform too? Love the videos!
I feel like there are some people who would hear the description "no unique benefits" and interpret that as being derogatory, when it absolutely isn't.
Of for sure. Interpreting “unique” in this context takes way too many brain cells, so it’s a lot more efficient for people to ignore and hear “wow so you think fasting sucks and is useless”
That is OK as long as they let it dissipate after. However fasting does have a unique benefit when compared to any other dietary guidelines and the clue is in its name. Fasting is the fastest way to gain dietary benefits which is a big deal in my opinion.
Would love to. I have reviewed his book a few times. It's very poor with respect to scientific accuracy. However, the dietary pattern recommended is reasonable...it's just not magic as advertised.
Do you have a food log that tracks the calories that are in what you're eating and do you have an active lifestyle? (do something like construction or retail for work)
I find that I.F. and going as much as three days without eating is a good way to bring my weight back into the range where I want it. Additionally, it trains you to tolerate hunger which most fatties can't abide. Obviously, what you say is correct: The total calories over time will determine your body weight no matter how you do it. I think it's factual to say that obesity is impossible without overeating, yet the world continues to look at obesity as if it were some kind of mystery.
I've always eaten two meals. Big breakfast, big dinner. Muscle growth might be better if I ate more meals, but meh. If intermittent fasting is being used to avoid overeating for weight loss, I think there is a micronutrient or fiber deficiency present. Quality food will make it much easier to control the quantity of food, regardless of the eating window.
Appreciate the nuance, as always. Question: the American Heart Association had a study done that was recently concluded. Did that not show serious long term health concerns with prolonged intermittent fasting? I'm interested in your take on this. I did read that one of the researchers said their findings "encourage a more cautious, personalized approach to dietary recommendations, ensuring that they are aligned with an individual’s health status and the latest scientific evidence", that does sound familiar here.
Struggled with weight all of my life. I've lost 100+ 4 different times. Every other weight loss regime I've ever tried has had me hungry every day. AD fasting works for me because I'd much rather be hungry only on fasting days than 24-7. I can handle that and it works so far. Also, I don't fast on lifting days, so that works out :)

But what about its effect on Gainz?

If Im in calorie deficit I'd much rather take zero time to prepare no food than just make smaller meals.
Would be cool if it worked that way, but it tends not to…on average. If it works for you, that’s great!
Very interesting, thanks guys
Must be tough being as built as Austin. He cant even have doors in his house
Or the amount of food they have to eat lmao

Agreed. I suspect future comments will reflect this oversight 😂
those folks would be nuance deficient

I would like to see you talking with Dr.Jason Fung about it. Or at least reviewing his book.
Would love to. I have reviewed his book a few times. It's very poor with respect to scientific accuracy. However, the dietary pattern recommended is reasonable...it's just not magic as advertised.
For the algo!
So it mostly comes back to calories in calories out and dietary adherence? Imagine that🤯🤯🤯
I eat all day from when I wake up until shortly before going to bed, but I find it difficult to put on and maintain weight.

Truly appreciate the nuanced, informative discussion. Wish more of the internet was like this.

You guys need more in person podcasts
