That's exactly the tactic, so either way you fell for it, but indeed by not being needy and actually being detached from the sale, you actually make the sale look like it is natural, human nature my friend.
"No conspiratory denial of science" - I wonder is it conspiratorial denial of science to recall how science was wrong and wonder if it is likely a cause of a lot of modern health issues and the distrust in general from the general public regarding such topics? I have watched as researchers and scientists have inverted the food pyramid over the years, the older models and research were heavily pushed by developed nations onto their populations. That along with this apparent hesitancy to acknowledge it would only fuel the growing distrust I would imagine.
"Conspiratory" or conspiratorial? What is a conspiracy and who are conspirators? Knowing those terms, what would conspiratorial (or "conspiratory") then mean? Pedantic nitpick here, so no worries, otherwise your comment makes sense
Do you think when he has opportunities to make these jokes there's another personality that tries to take control? Kind of like the abrasive side of Spongebob
I'm wrapping up a 40lb weight loss and my diet is very similar to this. It's very easy to stick to, especially if you worry less about obsessing over macros and just focus on eating healthy foods and staying full. Almost every health metric has improved (body composition, mood, energy, blood pressure, etc.). Strength has increased on all isolation movements, held steady for deadlift, and decreased slightly (~5%) for squat and bench, significantly (~10-15%) for overhead press.
@@jacobsejer4527 Thanks! I’m doing a follow-up DEXA in a few weeks and I’ll be posting the results. I was 35% body fat at my heaviest, and I should be around 20-23 now. Still got a ways to go to be considered “lean”.
did you lose 40lb in one long diet or had multiple diet and maintanance periods? I have dieted for 4 month and now in maintanance but lost only 10 lb while adding muscle (a beginner at the gym). will need a lot of cycles to shed off the 20 lb of fat I want to lose.
@@mnakash77 One long diet. I did 3 weeks in a steep deficit, one week at maintenance, repeated 4 total times. The thing is that I gained the weight intentionally while training, and the bulk just got way out of hand. I was 135 before training, wound up at 212, and now I’m in the low 170’s. Since my “set point” is on the lighter side, it was relatively easy for me to lose weight rapidly.
I have been advocating as a trainer and nutrition specialist for years for this kind of a just simplistic healthy Whole Foods diet and I'm glad somebody finally put a video out laying out how simple it is for people to see, thank you Dr. Mike, that was a good video.
What is your opinion on artificial sweeteners? (I asked the doc but just in case). I attended a conference with an oncologist and he warned the audience about the Splendas of the world as the liver is not able to process them. What’s your opinion on this? Than you!
@@horaciogomez4368 Personally I prefer to avoid artificial sweeteners and go for something like monk fruit, raw unprocessed honey, or 100% pure Maple syrup as sweeteners, The raw unprocessed honey and the 100% pure Maple syrup also have health benefits.
@@JustJ001 we have a beehive so we get some honey however, my wife is diabetic and sends her levels a bit too high. We are not personally very loving of Monkfruit unless is use for baking. Stevia (the real not the one combined with Maltodextrin) is the preferred one at home.
@@spartan90909 in what part does he promote "the diet plan" like you said. He hasnt... That is the point of the video - that you dont need any diet plans or overpriced supplements to get lean and healthy. Be glad you can watch content like this for free without constant promoting of useless things.
@@adamdrinovsky2592 he said in the video a link for the plan will be below ....then proceeds to outline what's in the plan hoping you'll click and buy it you bloody muppet
Hey Dr. Mike, I think your ability to explain things through analogies is seriously one of my favorite parts of the channel. You make things click. My number 1 favorite part about the channel is imagining you in compromised positions freaky style. Much love!
Some people like me might have grown up on well water, or with a mom who never quite cleans the glasses. Or both. Or bad tasting hard water. Hard water is hard on my kidneys too so I can get very dehydrated. My life changed when I learned that with most municipal sources I either have to have a filter pitcher or a fridge filter to get the taste and composition where my body can tolerate it, then carry a water bottle religiously. The only exception was one single city I lived in had good soft water, to the point people visiting my house would bring gallon jugs to stock up. Then it was easy. Or personally, LMNT. I get charlie horses anyway so balanced electrolytes keep me healthy in multiple ways. A dash of LMNT helps with bad tasting water. (Literally one reason why Gatorade tastes the way it does - so players can't taste a bad water pipe).
The simpler the better. Sleep. Diet. Water. Walk and/or Gym. That's the order from most important to least important. You can solve each problem piecemeal, but you need those to lose, gain or maintain weight. It doesn't matter your goal, you always have to sleep enough, drink enough water, have an adequate diet. After that the exercise comes. You might have to review your water intake and diet each month, but this just works regardless of what you want to do. Not saying the diet and gym are easy steps, because they aren't, but they are progressively easier.
Asking an AI for 10 healthy food ideas and it's like "lamb, duck sauce, carpet, ham tenderloin, Edgar Allan Poe, cyanide, ketchup, thunderstorms, oreos"
Good kist however there is a lot of sugar in ketchup don't abuse it. Cyanide will make you lose 100% of your weight, so it's really a negative calorie food.
It's really great that the guys at RP give out all the information needed to make your own programs in addition to selling their own programs. Really sets them apart. 💯
Just a suggestion for future, if this is indeed part 2 of a series could we please link part 1 in the description? That way we don’t have to scroll for days to find the first video. Thanks for all that y’all do at team RP!
a really cool variation on this is plate method. You choose your plate size based on your calorie goals. Then you fill half with green veg, quarter with lean protein, and quarter with whole grains.
Why doesn't Dr. Mike get across to more people? This is the most truth anyone will ever find about fitness. Ever since I've started watching his videos, my muscle growth and energy has increased incredibly. He's the truth.
Saw this appear on my feed. Wanted to skip it because I f'in hate al the nonsense (about training and food) spread through social media. Watched it anyway, was relieved by the simplicity, knowledge and humour, and after almost 4 years grabbed my bag and went to the gym again. I don't know why, but I am extremely happy I did and will continue to go. Thanks dude.
pork tenderloin is a great lean protein btw, probably my fav. just chop off medallions until you have as much as you need, salt it, fry it up for a couple minutes on each side in a nonstick pan with some cooking spray. basically the same macros as chicken breast, but more flavor and better texture imo
@@chrisfournier6144 oh yeah that too lol, one of my other favorite things about it. usually just a liiittle bit more than chicken breast but I sometimes find it on sale for less
I’ve been Jojo dieting for the last 15 years of my life and I’m so thankful for your content ! This makes so much sense . Thank you for these free videos !!!
The things I really like about this are 1) the focus on moderation over extremes and 2) simplicity versus the relative complexity that many diets bring. The outcome is a reasonable approach to eating that is sustainable over a lifetime and resilient to special occasions like holidays, vacations, etc. The mental health aspect of this approach cannot be overstated. Take note that the work still needs to be put in (this isn't "magic" as Dr. Mike likes to say), but I believe this strategy is suitable for the masses - which is kind of the point.
I have no idea if this is gonna be relevant to this video, but I just came to say thank you Doctor Mike for teaching me to exercise properly. I HATE it, but thank you nonetheless. As a 5'4 young man in his 20s, who weighs 205lbs and has lived mostly a sedentary lifestyle up to now, I'm simultaneously grateful and hateful that you gave me the idea to slow down my negatives for maximum effect, I have just finished doing squats, and I now (temporarily) have the stability of a 90 year old man with no walker or cane. Again, thank you, and damn you, for your torturously effective advice. I feel terribly wonderful after my first workout in ages, and will (un)fortunately be sticking to many more in the future. Thank you, you absolute psychopath, now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my rest liberally before I do all this again, more intensely, while stumbling around like a drunker than usual Captain Jack Sparrow, and trying to not face plant when I go to let my dog out of her cage- Sincerely, a crazy person on the internet. (Genuinely thank you, best I ever felt after a workout, and also the weakest)
I love this channel and this video is one I really needed. Dr. Mike, I appreciate the delivery because you always make your content very easy to understand and digest
Nice job simplifying RP! I''ve been around since you & Dr. James Hoffman did those Q&As. Those were awesome. I love the direction you're going in, I think this will hit a larger audience. Great edit-ability for shorter format stuff too.
I'd love to get the diet program to read about it so I don't have to keep watching a video each time I want to check stuff, but I'm not paying for the entire beginner guide so I'll stick to the video for now. Thanks for teaching us though!
If you want some more nutritional breakdown, I highly suggest TalonFitness here on TH-cam. If you don't care about all the nitty gritty on his food lists, you can skip to the end to when the charts are full to see what made the top tiers. The meat is a bit harder to tell so you might have to watch that one all the way.
I lost 120 lbs in under a year, eating 2 meals a day. 15 egg whites 1-2 yolks with a little sliced ham, tomato, pepper, and sea salt. Side of 500 grams of mixed cauliflower and broccoli. 1-2 slices of low calorie bread for carbs. Multi vit & a banana. Never felt low energy or fatigued. Relatively large volume of food made it pretty easy. Water & coffee..... Edit: I live in the country & can get eggs directly from the farm for very cheap. Store bought eggs would probably be rather expensive. For reference, I am (was....36 now) 35 year old 5ft8 man. Went from 272 -150 lbs even. Maintaining it pretty easily.
@@argo7155 I binge on snacks everyday in 500 calorie defecit. I do 10 miles of cardio on foot everyday and I do my work on an exercise bike. I can eat whatever I want and have abs
@@AlfimAlves That's great but most people don't have enough time for weight training and that amount of cardio in a day. I only get 30 - 60 minute window for working out so diet matters a lot.
I'm quite muscular and stay between 8-10% BF year-round, without much effort: 1 - Find a sport that you love (bonus if the sport demands you to be athletic i.e. rugby, soccer, track and field) 2 - Train to get better and better at the sport, don't just play it. 3- Give up drinking 4 - Eat 95% home-cooked food 5 - Be consistent, I've been training for sprinting for nearly 2 decades (My bodies homeostasis is to stay lean and jacked).
Tbh the drinking is hardest for me Not because I’m an alcoholic, but I’m a beer and whiskey nerd. I’ve gotten it down to beer 2x a week and whiskey 2x a month. The goal of balance is 1x every two weeks for beer. 1x a month for whiskey.
@@AAllinsonNN I'm just a wine, beer, whisky, vodka connoisseur said/says every alcoholic haha. But seriously, drop the fn sauce, it's not worth it. And if you're having trouble, sounds like it's either become an identity piece in your life and/or it's covering up some other stuff in your life you need to work on.
@@marcd2743 Sure doesn't sound like any alcoholic I'm aware of. Don't alcoholics typically drink to get *drunk?* Sounds like he simply enjoys the taste and experience, and is in no way out of control.
That Grind mode screen shot 3:58 looks like a ton of food. 6 fist sized servings 4 times a day, plus fats and hydration. I can't see how I would squeeze in any more food in the chill variant, unless I start introducing unhealthier choices. 🤔
According to a stranger on the internet who bought the package, that grind mode pic is actually the portions for the chill diet. Take w/ appropriate grain of salt considering source.
I converted fists to cups and a finger as 2 tablespoons and I calculated almost 5000 (4956) calories if you pick chicken thighs for protein rice for carbs broccoli for veggies and olive oil for fats. Even using the Reddit grind mode of one fist of carbs per meal it’s 2500-3350 calories. I burn a MAX of 2700 calories per day probably more like 2400. I think grind mode would be better doing 3 meals a day my lowest estimates show 1500-1900 calories.
Personally what I’ve found has worked for me is measuring serving sizes on the nutrition label. I just eat one serving size per food group each meal. If you’re eating whole foods it makes it so much easier. After a while I’ve just learned how to eyeball things.
Dr. Mike, your app has changed my life. Thank you. I'm happy to give you lambo money even if it means my kids have to miss a few meals a week. #worthit.
I’m so grateful for your content. I feel like I am getting a full education with every video. It’s been a game changer…. Everything is so easy to understand and apply. And I love Dr. Mike’s humor!
Someone on reddit says they mixed it up in the video. The video is actually showing chill, and grind is the exact same thing but it's one portion of carbs instead of 3. I don't have it myself, just relaying what I read on reddit.
@@DoisKoh That sounds right. Just guestimating in my head the chill diet seems like a lot of calories for an ostensibly moderately active adult who is engaged in fat loss.
@@JsDinghys-iv3vl remember though, he said on chill mode most people maintain or gain a little. It's to mitigate diet fatigue without blowing all the progress from grinding, and to set you up for another cycle of grinding.
Thank you, Dr. Mike. My motto for the past few years has been "Keep It Simple, Stupid." I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I'm grateful how simple you made fitness, health, and dieting for me. I've got both the Hypertrophy and Diet apps - I love the Hypertrophy app for telling me what exercises I need to do and how hard; the Diet app, I admit, might be too much for me. I was good at first tracking foods and macros, but then I got sick and really backslid and got lazy with logging. I'm really digging this approach to food better than the Diet app, honestly.
Started hand portion sizing my food and honestly started seeing pretty good results BUT it can be pretty annoying and sometimes inaccurate(because lets be honest we be lying to ourselves sometimes), so instead I just built the habit of tracking all my food in a scale then writing the data down on my fitness pal. It even gave me the wiggle room to consume junk food here and there( 🔑 95% should be clean macro focused foods ) once I started implementing this PLUS the maintenance periods my physique has made a DRASTIC change, thanks RP ❤
Dude. I’ve just discovered your videos. I’m into my food and fitness. In recent times I’ve been allowing myself be taken in by the keto and carnivore crew. Some great guys who I’m sure are well intentioned. Paul Saladino, Baker, Berry etc. but rather than make me feel good about myself these guys have made me feel a whole lot worse. Every time I eat bread pasta or a potato I feel like I’ve done something wrong. Same with veg. So I’m so happy you a debunking so much of this BS. Since watching your clips I’ve taken back control of my diet and feel so much better. Thanks. From All the way over in Ireland where we live our potatoes!
Most people out there are sick of the bad jokes from Mike. Hopefully he will be moving away from that disingenuous content and move back into the kind of content that used to make RP great.
Thanks. My sons and I listen to your videos regularly. We’re all health conscious and find your advice very practical and achievable. You’re funny as Hell too.
TLDR-there are channels who actively practice/specialize in athletic training. I’d think about programming prep for sprinting and jumping, in addition to weight room. Athleticism training inspiration channels:Noah Lyles (sprinting) , Isaiah Rivera (jumping) , Blaine McConnell (sprinting and lifting) , Tyreek Hill (acceleration, quickness) IMO Dr Mike is pretty clear on his expertise and biases towards :bodybuilding (hypertrophy modalities) , powerlifting/strongman(strength modalities ) , MMA, etc . He collabs with people influential in those spaces and in published exercise science literature (mainly on hypertrophy/strength studies). the RP app is designed he says it all the time “Maximize Hypertrophy” If thats not your specific goal consider supplementing this channel with other channels that have different focuses I disagree with the other post. improving sprint speed (max acceleration) and jumping ability (other things can help too like core, flexibility, lateral movement) will make almost any sport easier than if you had done no training in those areas. You have to prepare your body to be able to withstand and produce near maximal force.
@@agcalleko7I appreciate the response, there’s a lot of really great information here. I suppose I may not have been precise with the wording of my original comment. I was more referring to weight training for athletes. In past videos, Dr. Mike has referred to his experience in other areas other than bodybuilding, such as aforementioned topic, but hasn’t made any videos going into great detail. There’s actually some great information that could be applied to athletic weight training in his video on rep cadence, but I am also curious to hear his expertise on ideal rep ranges, intensity, training loads, and if there is an optimal way to train for both athleticism and hypertrophy without sacrificing too much of one for the other.
Great content as always! One question, did I read that template right with 3 fist size portions of carbs 4x per day? If I went for oats or rice for example, that seems like a ton of carbs in a sitting (maybe 2-3 cups of oatmeal per meal?!), and that's in the Grind version, which is below calories? Am I misunderstanding it?
I do almost exactly the same diet, except all the complicated parts, i eat steak, hamburger, eggs and bacon, sardines..i also use some salt. I know it sounds uncomplicated, but it works great.
@@42WallabyWaySydney Makes sense. Age as well perhaps. Nearing 50. I'd blow up like a balloon having 3 servings of carbs every meal. 3 servings a day is almost too much for me.
Is only one "fist-sized" protein source going to be enough for total protein intake? Also that, plus 3-fist sized carbs + 2 of veggies are a LOT of volume, I can't eat that much FOUR times a day honestly. Four is also quite the odd (pun not intended) number, considering how large it is, the fourth meal (especially if placed before bed as suggested) packs quite the punch. What about the classic 3 main meals + 2 snacks?
Pretty sure you're thinking about it the wrong way. Based on the fact that example is the "grind" diet. You're probably only getting 3 meals with a fist of carbs. Mike wouldn't tell you to eat 3 fist fulls of carbs 4 times a day. Occam's razor👍🏼
@@d2ds17 The diet specifically says 'each of your 4 meals per day should be made of:'. So RP have made a mistake/typo or the person is understanding correctly.
I work in family medicine and counsel patients on weight loss every day. The bundle looks comprehensive and would likely be a great resource for my patients. None of them want to count calories and understandably so.
Assuming your body doesn't fight you, it's probably possible to build a moderate keto diet based on this plan just by choosing a low-sugar fruit instead of grains or high-sugar fruits and raising the healthy fats a bit above what the plan says. So for the people who feel serene on keto and want their fat loss experience to have that same serenity, Dr. Mike's conceptual framework has good flexibility and will let you add in your own goals without too much difficulty.
Thank you! I hope this works for me. I know measuring food and tracking calories works and have always done it in the past, but I would much prefer having more freedom to live a healthy lifestyle rather than being a slave to any diet.
@@scarletsletter4466 if i would eat 3 fists noodles that would mean like 250g of uncooked noodles. 1kg per day. This rule applies really good with rice but with noodles i feel like thats just not realisable
Yeah, I calculated this out in my meal planner. With 3 carbs I was about a thousand calories over my calculated total to lose a pound a week. 1 fistful of carbs was closer to my calorie needs to maintain weightloss. I am wondering if I am overestimating my fist size.
It has to be cooked, but even so, I think this works best if you have Dr Mike sized hands. If you have Viking hands we have to measure. I’m 5’5” 120lbs but my fists are over a cup of rice size 😂
Hey I would love to see you review Caroline Girvan’s workouts, when I first got into training I lost a bunch of weight following her videos but I’d love to see your critique!!
God knows I don’t need a single gram of muscle more-being into road cycling and all, so why have I been binge watching Doc Mike’s vids for the last week i don’t know 😂 Must be good stuff.
Bro, I love you, but I hate the scummy marketing bullshit on your store. 'value 460 but you pay 99' is an instant turn off. The store itself is pretty poorly made. Can't find just the Simple Science Diet, the actual product you are marketing. If I hadn't followed you for a while, and just stumbled in here, I would call it a scam and not look back.
To up your rainbow game use purple sweet potatoes, green veggies, and orange veggies then add in those white meats and also colorful spices. They add texture to the look. And those spices carry more nutrients than those vegetables. Don’t be lazy. If you can work your ass off in the gym, you can work your ass off in the kitchen. You can also work your ass off in the grocery vegetable department. ❤
I lost 1kg per week having a chickpea salad in the office (250g chickpeas + cucmuber+ tomatoes + mozzarella). And in the evening, 500g brocoli, 300g carrots in boiling water, 300g of meat + 250g of mozzarella, some tomatoes and balsamic sauce. That quantity would last me for 2 dinners. I was not doing sports, but I never felt hungry. That diet was a roughly 1000kcal deficit per day. I went from 95kg to 80kg in 5 months. The weeks I haven't lost a kilo were for varying reasons (some birthdays / company trips etc). For the meat, I used packet bio sausages from a local farm. They have slightly more calories than chicken, but at least I was 100% sure of the cooked quantities (500g packaging with 5 sausages). But eating the same thing every day was not a problem. It's also nice not to have to struggle counting calories etc.
Made a super simplistic vegan diet for myself, lost 30lb so far in the past couple of months. I make a large amount of a food: carb part - usually rice, sometimes boiled potato, pasta, noodles or bread; and protein fiber part - usually TVP, sometimes lentils or canned beans; eat that 3x a day for two or three days, along with some fresh veggies, basically only cabbage, carrots, tomato, cucumbers. (Plus a bit of tomato sauce or ketchup I sometimes put in my TVP rice.) A snack of a bit of nuts or seeds or olives. If I want another snack I eat fruit, basically just apples and oranges. If I want something really sweet I make some whipped cream or sometimes get a tiny chocolate bar. I drink only water, zero sugar sodas, or tea with stevia. A complete multivitamin-multimineral supplement, an omega 3 supplement. And that's it, the entire thing.
This is great! It is nice to see a bare bones and easy to follow diet that can work for anyone. I am excited to incorporate this diet into my day to day and shed some weight. As always Dr. Mike, I love the content and appreciate all the advice you offer.
@@AOH892 bullshit. Its full of nutrients. The egg white isn't really worth eating and some allergic to that part. I eat 6 to 9 eggs a day. They're good for you
I do the 2% low fat small curd with the liquid egg whites blend in the ninja and scramble with seasoning it’s so good a lot of protein and holds me over without feeling hungry
I have a weird input, Dr Mike. I am 5'7, the highest weight I ever remember seeing on a scale was 286 pound at around the age of 17 or 18. At 26 years old I was so unhealthy that I managed to get shingles. I decided to make a drastic shift in my diet by starting with switching to zero sugar drinks. The only food I would eat is Starkist Tuna packs and my exercises would be 15 mins of whatever I could do on my floor. I would do that 15 mins as many times and as often as I possibly could. My cheat meal days consisted of baked chicken or tilapia. It was a very tough but honestly enjoyable 8 months or so of the intense calorie deficit. In the end it was extreme, but was worth it was the lowest weight I've seen on a scale is 134 pounds. Luckily I am turning 29 soon and I can easily stay around 140 ish to 150 while eating whatever I want. I don't know if I changed my metabolism or what but I obviously still drink sugar free stuff and watch myself to an extend.
I've been on a weight loss journey for about 2 years now, I've lost a total of about 70 lbs going for another 6-7. I started at 240 around 40% BF and now I'm 170, I think I gained 20lbs or so of muscle over this time. I never counted calories and I currently have a 6 pack, it can absolutely be done! I just always had enough protein intake, listened to my body, and ate mostly the same foods throughout the week.
I've had the most success with calorie counting, but it completely falls apart for dining out especially at local mom and pop places. I think I'll use this for thr dining out portions. Basically figure our my portions based fist/finger and then get the rest in a box to consume the next meal
Does anybody else watch these videos while working out (at home) to maintain motivation? I feel like I can just put a few of these on and it helps me grind out a hard ass workout.
Cutting weight is easy. Sustain weekly caloric deficit for a period of time, while hitting your macros. Thought it really does help if you if you food prep and select these healthy ingredients.
Last I knew, the USDA trashed their food guide pyramid and replaced it with myplate. Half your plate is vegetable and fruits, 25% of your plate is lean protein and 25% grain. It’s similar to what you’re talking about.
Can we appreciate how Dr Mike had the self control to spend a whole video talking about fists and fingers without a single innuendo, such a professional.

I'm wrapping up a 40lb weight loss and my diet is very similar to this. It's very easy to stick to, especially if you worry less about obsessing over macros and just focus on eating healthy foods and staying full. Almost every health metric has improved (body composition, mood, energy, blood pressure, etc.). Strength has increased on all isolation movements, held steady for deadlift, and decreased slightly (~5%) for squat and bench, significantly (~10-15%) for overhead press.
Damn bro. 40lbs is crazy! Good going!
@@jacobsejer4527 Thanks! I’m doing a follow-up DEXA in a few weeks and I’ll be posting the results. I was 35% body fat at my heaviest, and I should be around 20-23 now. Still got a ways to go to be considered “lean”.
@tomrampley5665 Yeah, it’s very leverage dependent since the prime movers in the lift are so small.
did you lose 40lb in one long diet or had multiple diet and maintanance periods?
I have dieted for 4 month and now in maintanance but lost only 10 lb while adding muscle (a beginner at the gym). will need a lot of cycles to shed off the 20 lb of fat I want to lose.
@@mnakash77 One long diet. I did 3 weeks in a steep deficit, one week at maintenance, repeated 4 total times. The thing is that I gained the weight intentionally while training, and the bulk just got way out of hand. I was 135 before training, wound up at 212, and now I’m in the low 170’s. Since my “set point” is on the lighter side, it was relatively easy for me to lose weight rapidly.
I have been advocating as a trainer and nutrition specialist for years for this kind of a just simplistic healthy Whole Foods diet and I'm glad somebody finally put a video out laying out how simple it is for people to see, thank you Dr. Mike, that was a good video.
What is your opinion on artificial sweeteners? (I asked the doc but just in case). I attended a conference with an oncologist and he warned the audience about the Splendas of the world as the liver is not able to process them. What’s your opinion on this? Than you!

@@adamdrinovsky2592 he said in the video a link for the plan will be below ....then proceeds to outline what's in the plan hoping you'll click and buy it you bloody muppet
Hey Dr. Mike, I think your ability to explain things through analogies is seriously one of my favorite parts of the channel. You make things click. My number 1 favorite part about the channel is imagining you in compromised positions freaky style. Much love!
On the subject of hydration... Are you thirsty? I love it. Simple truth. The simpler, the better.
Some people like me might have grown up on well water, or with a mom who never quite cleans the glasses. Or both. Or bad tasting hard water. Hard water is hard on my kidneys too so I can get very dehydrated. My life changed when I learned that with most municipal sources I either have to have a filter pitcher or a fridge filter to get the taste and composition where my body can tolerate it, then carry a water bottle religiously. The only exception was one single city I lived in had good soft water, to the point people visiting my house would bring gallon jugs to stock up. Then it was easy. Or personally, LMNT. I get charlie horses anyway so balanced electrolytes keep me healthy in multiple ways. A dash of LMNT helps with bad tasting water. (Literally one reason why Gatorade tastes the way it does - so players can't taste a bad water pipe).
The simpler the better.
Sleep. Diet. Water. Walk and/or Gym. That's the order from most important to least important.
You can solve each problem piecemeal, but you need those to lose, gain or maintain weight. It doesn't matter your goal, you always have to sleep enough, drink enough water, have an adequate diet. After that the exercise comes. You might have to review your water intake and diet each month, but this just works regardless of what you want to do. Not saying the diet and gym are easy steps, because they aren't, but they are progressively easier.
I recommend everyone to find the book titled The Secrets of Longevity and Vitality ; it goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life
i found that eBook on your channel. Thanks for sharing it ❤

Why doesn't Dr. Mike get across to more people? This is the most truth anyone will ever find about fitness. Ever since I've started watching his videos, my muscle growth and energy has increased incredibly. He's the truth.
It’s always good to hear “you’re an adult “ on a Sunday morning :)
Saw this appear on my feed. Wanted to skip it because I f'in hate al the nonsense (about training and food) spread through social media. Watched it anyway, was relieved by the simplicity, knowledge and humour, and after almost 4 years grabbed my bag and went to the gym again. I don't know why, but I am extremely happy I did and will continue to go. Thanks dude.
pork tenderloin is a great lean protein btw, probably my fav. just chop off medallions until you have as much as you need, salt it, fry it up for a couple minutes on each side in a nonstick pan with some cooking spray. basically the same macros as chicken breast, but more flavor and better texture imo
And pork tenderloin is actually affordable if not downright cheap! It takes marinades like a duck takes to water. Great suggestion!
@@chrisfournier6144 oh yeah that too lol, one of my other favorite things about it. usually just a liiittle bit more than chicken breast but I sometimes find it on sale for less
One of the easiest foods to cook & delicious. Some rice & greens, 10 minutes. Totally correct about marinade
Been in the rotation every time there’s a sale or bogo for an even better price 😃. I sear it then pressure cook it 👌🏼
If you live nest a Costco that's a great ace to get it! We also utilize as a great source of protein.
I’ve been Jojo dieting for the last 15 years of my life and I’m so thankful for your content ! This makes so much sense . Thank you for these free videos !!!
The things I really like about this are 1) the focus on moderation over extremes and 2) simplicity versus the relative complexity that many diets bring. The outcome is a reasonable approach to eating that is sustainable over a lifetime and resilient to special occasions like holidays, vacations, etc. The mental health aspect of this approach cannot be overstated. Take note that the work still needs to be put in (this isn't "magic" as Dr. Mike likes to say), but I believe this strategy is suitable for the masses - which is kind of the point.
I have no idea if this is gonna be relevant to this video, but I just came to say thank you Doctor Mike for teaching me to exercise properly.
I HATE it, but thank you nonetheless. As a 5'4 young man in his 20s, who weighs 205lbs and has lived mostly a sedentary lifestyle up to now, I'm simultaneously grateful and hateful that you gave me the idea to slow down my negatives for maximum effect, I have just finished doing squats, and I now (temporarily) have the stability of a 90 year old man with no walker or cane.
Again, thank you, and damn you, for your torturously effective advice. I feel terribly wonderful after my first workout in ages, and will (un)fortunately be sticking to many more in the future.
Thank you, you absolute psychopath, now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my rest liberally before I do all this again, more intensely, while stumbling around like a drunker than usual Captain Jack Sparrow, and trying to not face plant when I go to let my dog out of her cage-
Sincerely, a crazy person on the internet. (Genuinely thank you, best I ever felt after a workout, and also the weakest)
I love this channel and this video is one I really needed. Dr. Mike, I appreciate the delivery because you always make your content very easy to understand and digest
Dr. Mike is simply the best...no BS, cool, funny but always on point and so refreshing in a sea of wanna be experts, love ya work Dr M.
Nice job simplifying RP! I''ve been around since you & Dr. James Hoffman did those Q&As. Those were awesome. I love the direction you're going in, I think this will hit a larger audience. Great edit-ability for shorter format stuff too.
Thank you for making the core methodology of all your work publicly available for the lamboless plebs that can't afford the programs
I'd love to get the diet program to read about it so I don't have to keep watching a video each time I want to check stuff, but I'm not paying for the entire beginner guide so I'll stick to the video for now.
Thanks for teaching us though!
If you want some more nutritional breakdown, I highly suggest TalonFitness here on TH-cam. If you don't care about all the nitty gritty on his food lists, you can skip to the end to when the charts are full to see what made the top tiers. The meat is a bit harder to tell so you might have to watch that one all the way.
Ikr I just want to see the diet layed out without paying for all the other stuff
I lost 120 lbs in under a year, eating 2 meals a day.
15 egg whites 1-2 yolks with a little sliced ham, tomato, pepper, and sea salt.
Side of 500 grams of mixed cauliflower and broccoli. 1-2 slices of low calorie bread for carbs.
Multi vit & a banana.
Never felt low energy or fatigued. Relatively large volume of food made it pretty easy.
Water & coffee.....
Edit: I live in the country & can get eggs directly from the farm for very cheap.
Store bought eggs would probably be rather expensive.
For reference, I am (was....36 now) 35 year old 5ft8 man.
Went from 272 -150 lbs even. Maintaining it pretty easily.

I'm quite muscular and stay between 8-10% BF year-round, without much effort:

2 - Train to get better and better at the sport, don't just play it.
3- Give up drinking
4 - Eat 95% home-cooked food
5 - Be consistent, I've been training for sprinting for nearly 2 decades (My bodies homeostasis is to stay lean and jacked).

Not because I’m an alcoholic, but I’m a beer and whiskey nerd.

That Grind mode screen shot 3:58 looks like a ton of food. 6 fist sized servings 4 times a day, plus fats and hydration.
I can't see how I would squeeze in any more food in the chill variant, unless I start introducing unhealthier choices. 🤔
Came here to say the same thing
This is not the actual diet.
According to a stranger on the internet who bought the package, that grind mode pic is actually the portions for the chill diet. Take w/ appropriate grain of salt considering source.
@@doc_sav I figured it was something like that. Thanks for responding
I converted fists to cups and a finger as 2 tablespoons and I calculated almost 5000 (4956) calories if you pick chicken thighs for protein rice for carbs broccoli for veggies and olive oil for fats. Even using the Reddit grind mode of one fist of carbs per meal it’s 2500-3350 calories. I burn a MAX of 2700 calories per day probably more like 2400. I think grind mode would be better doing 3 meals a day my lowest estimates show 1500-1900 calories.
Personally what I’ve found has worked for me is measuring serving sizes on the nutrition label. I just eat one serving size per food group each meal. If you’re eating whole foods it makes it so much easier. After a while I’ve just learned how to eyeball things.
Dr. Mike, your app has changed my life. Thank you. I'm happy to give you lambo money even if it means my kids have to miss a few meals a week. #worthit.

I’m so grateful for your content. I feel like I am getting a full education with every video. It’s been a game changer…. Everything is so easy to understand and apply. And I love Dr. Mike’s humor!
What does the "Chill" diet look like? I only say the "Grind" one
Bump
Someone on reddit says they mixed it up in the video. The video is actually showing chill, and grind is the exact same thing but it's one portion of carbs instead of 3. I don't have it myself, just relaying what I read on reddit.
@@DoisKoh That sounds right. Just guestimating in my head the chill diet seems like a lot of calories for an ostensibly moderately active adult who is engaged in fat loss.
@@JsDinghys-iv3vl remember though, he said on chill mode most people maintain or gain a little. It's to mitigate diet fatigue without blowing all the progress from grinding, and to set you up for another cycle of grinding.
@@DoisKoh I bought the diet and I can confirm that that's correct
Thank you, Dr. Mike. My motto for the past few years has been "Keep It Simple, Stupid." I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I'm grateful how simple you made fitness, health, and dieting for me. I've got both the Hypertrophy and Diet apps - I love the Hypertrophy app for telling me what exercises I need to do and how hard; the Diet app, I admit, might be too much for me. I was good at first tracking foods and macros, but then I got sick and really backslid and got lazy with logging. I'm really digging this approach to food better than the Diet app, honestly.
Can we buy the ebook separately? Link leads to a bundle which is overkill for my needs
Started hand portion sizing my food and honestly started seeing pretty good results BUT it can be pretty annoying and sometimes inaccurate(because lets be honest we be lying to ourselves sometimes), so instead I just built the habit of tracking all my food in a scale then writing the data down on my fitness pal. It even gave me the wiggle room to consume junk food here and there( 🔑 95% should be clean macro focused foods ) once I started implementing this PLUS the maintenance periods my physique has made a DRASTIC change, thanks RP ❤
Love the new notes look
Dude. I’ve just discovered your videos. I’m into my food and fitness. In recent times I’ve been allowing myself be taken in by the keto and carnivore crew. Some great guys who I’m sure are well intentioned. Paul Saladino, Baker, Berry etc. but rather than make me feel good about myself these guys have made me feel a whole lot worse. Every time I eat bread pasta or a potato I feel like I’ve done something wrong. Same with veg. So I’m so happy you a debunking so much of this BS. Since watching your clips I’ve taken back control of my diet and feel so much better. Thanks. From All the way over in Ireland where we live our potatoes!
LOL at how there's been cuts after some of the times Mike said "fists and fingers" - it was gonna be too much for TH-cam wasn't it... 😅
I was SO DISAPPOINTED that those inevitable jokes got cut!!
Probably cut for the paid members area. Those videos are usually twice the length of free with extra colorful commentary.
He was trying to hit a more "normal" audience this time I think
Most people out there are sick of the bad jokes from Mike. Hopefully he will be moving away from that disingenuous content and move back into the kind of content that used to make RP great.
@codycale2526 I agree, actually. Toilet humor gets stale quiick
Thanks. My sons and I listen to your videos regularly. We’re all health conscious and find your advice very practical and achievable. You’re funny as Hell too.
Dr. Mike, when are you going to make a video on training athletically?
The key to training to be an athlete is to be specific; first you need to pick a sport to be athletic in. Then you train for it.
TLDR-there are channels who actively practice/specialize in athletic training. I’d think about programming prep for sprinting and jumping, in addition to weight room.
Athleticism training inspiration channels:Noah Lyles (sprinting) , Isaiah Rivera (jumping) , Blaine McConnell (sprinting and lifting) , Tyreek Hill (acceleration, quickness)
IMO Dr Mike is pretty clear on his expertise and biases towards :bodybuilding (hypertrophy modalities) , powerlifting/strongman(strength modalities ) , MMA, etc . He collabs with people influential in those spaces and in published exercise science literature (mainly on hypertrophy/strength studies). the RP app is designed he says it all the time “Maximize Hypertrophy” If thats not your specific goal consider supplementing this channel with other channels that have different focuses
I disagree with the other post. improving sprint speed (max acceleration) and jumping ability (other things can help too like core, flexibility, lateral movement) will make almost any sport easier than if you had done no training in those areas. You have to prepare your body to be able to withstand and produce near maximal force.
@@agcalleko7I appreciate the response, there’s a lot of really great information here. I suppose I may not have been precise with the wording of my original comment. I was more referring to weight training for athletes. In past videos, Dr. Mike has referred to his experience in other areas other than bodybuilding, such as aforementioned topic, but hasn’t made any videos going into great detail. There’s actually some great information that could be applied to athletic weight training in his video on rep cadence, but I am also curious to hear his expertise on ideal rep ranges, intensity, training loads, and if there is an optimal way to train for both athleticism and hypertrophy without sacrificing too much of one for the other.
AI and RP have been 100% helpful in my epic turnaround journey from depression, opiate addiction, and obesity.

Is the chill mode not in the video?
Even though your humor may be dry, I do still appreciate it. Good vid Dr. Mike.
Great content as always!
One question, did I read that template right with 3 fist size portions of carbs 4x per day? If I went for oats or rice for example, that seems like a ton of carbs in a sitting (maybe 2-3 cups of oatmeal per meal?!), and that's in the Grind version, which is below calories? Am I misunderstanding it?
It seems to be tailored to sex and weight, when you go to buy it it asks for those criterion
I was wondering the same thing. I’m 6’1 240lbs and have really big hands. No way I’m losing weight eating 600-800 cals of carbs 4 times per day 😭
@@42WallabyWaySydneyah that makes sense. I guess this offers a strategy and I’ll just have to experiment or buy the package if I want details.
You must have big ass fists. A fist sized portion for me is about a cup of oats.
I do almost exactly the same diet, except all the complicated parts, i eat steak, hamburger, eggs and bacon, sardines..i also use some salt. I know it sounds uncomplicated, but it works great.
where can we find the chill diet portion controls?
Also wondering this
Those are the chill diet portions. the grind diet is the same as the chill diet but afaik 2 carb portions removed per day
See this is what I been looking for. Simple answers... Presentation is on point and the method makes sense.. Going to give this a go
Seems a lot of carbs on the 'Grind Diet'? 3 portions?
When you buy it you select sex and weight so its probably for a heavier male
@@42WallabyWaySydney Makes sense. Age as well perhaps. Nearing 50. I'd blow up like a balloon having 3 servings of carbs every meal. 3 servings a day is almost too much for me.
Taking the advanced calorie cycling diet and transforming it for beginners. I see you doc
Is only one "fist-sized" protein source going to be enough for total protein intake? Also that, plus 3-fist sized carbs + 2 of veggies are a LOT of volume, I can't eat that much FOUR times a day honestly. Four is also quite the odd (pun not intended) number, considering how large it is, the fourth meal (especially if placed before bed as suggested) packs quite the punch. What about the classic 3 main meals + 2 snacks?
Pretty sure you're thinking about it the wrong way. Based on the fact that example is the "grind" diet. You're probably only getting 3 meals with a fist of carbs. Mike wouldn't tell you to eat 3 fist fulls of carbs 4 times a day. Occam's razor👍🏼
@@d2ds17 The diet specifically says 'each of your 4 meals per day should be made of:'. So RP have made a mistake/typo or the person is understanding correctly.
It's almost like they didn't give you the real diet that they are trying to sell for free in a snapshot on their video.
@@Threnodist1 I'm sorry, what snapshot? At 3:49 there's one describing this very diet I've expressed my doubts about.
I must say the self control of Dr Mike saying Fist and Finger method so many times without breaking into a cancel comment is commendable.

I would say take every like and put in your rear end

Do another
One more

Amazing content Dr Mike!! You really answer all the questions that I had in the past year
Instructions unclear, eating raw pufferfish with a hemlock nightshade salad.
you combined two different plants there; I think you mean Poison Hemlock and Poison Nightshade. Does that help clear it up?
I work in family medicine and counsel patients on weight loss every day. The bundle looks comprehensive and would likely be a great resource for my patients. None of them want to count calories and understandably so.
Assuming your body doesn't fight you, it's probably possible to build a moderate keto diet based on this plan just by choosing a low-sugar fruit instead of grains or high-sugar fruits and raising the healthy fats a bit above what the plan says. So for the people who feel serene on keto and want their fat loss experience to have that same serenity, Dr. Mike's conceptual framework has good flexibility and will let you add in your own goals without too much difficulty.
Thank you! I hope this works for me. I know measuring food and tracking calories works and have always done it in the past, but I would much prefer having more freedom to live a healthy lifestyle rather than being a slave to any diet.
When we talking about 3 fists of carbs, do we mean cooked noodles, rice, or uncooked?
Cooked
@@scarletsletter4466 if i would eat 3 fists noodles that would mean like 250g of uncooked noodles. 1kg per day. This rule applies really good with rice but with noodles i feel like thats just not realisable

Happy Father’s Day Dr. Mike. Thanks for the knowledge in this day of misinformation.
I hope Dr. Mike and Jared have a wonderful father/son outing today.
Would definitely add Greek yogurt to the lean proteins list. Great channel Mike, excellent information delivered in hilarious way, great stuff 👍
I feel like three fistful of carbohydrates at every meal is a lot of carbohydrates Dr. Mike.
I was thinking the same. It adds up to about 1kg of rice per day.
Yeah, I calculated this out in my meal planner. With 3 carbs I was about a thousand calories over my calculated total to lose a pound a week. 1 fistful of carbs was closer to my calorie needs to maintain weightloss. I am wondering if I am overestimating my fist size.
Yes, it is too much for me as well. But esp. rice is meant to be measured after it's cooked i think.
That’s bc that’s actually the quantity in the chill diet, grind is 1
It has to be cooked, but even so, I think this works best if you have Dr Mike sized hands. If you have Viking hands we have to measure. I’m 5’5” 120lbs but my fists are over a cup of rice size 😂

Bro, I love you, but I hate the scummy marketing bullshit on your store. 'value 460 but you pay 99' is an instant turn off.
The store itself is pretty poorly made. Can't find just the Simple Science Diet, the actual product you are marketing.
If I hadn't followed you for a while, and just stumbled in here, I would call it a scam and not look back.

Wtf is this, Dr Mike?
To up your rainbow game use purple sweet potatoes, green veggies, and orange veggies then add in those white meats and also colorful spices. They add texture to the look. And those spices carry more nutrients than those vegetables. Don’t be lazy. If you can work your ass off in the gym, you can work your ass off in the kitchen. You can also work your ass off in the grocery vegetable department. ❤
I lost 1kg per week having a chickpea salad in the office (250g chickpeas + cucmuber+ tomatoes + mozzarella).
And in the evening, 500g brocoli, 300g carrots in boiling water, 300g of meat + 250g of mozzarella, some tomatoes and balsamic sauce. That quantity would last me for 2 dinners.
I was not doing sports, but I never felt hungry.
That diet was a roughly 1000kcal deficit per day.
I went from 95kg to 80kg in 5 months. The weeks I haven't lost a kilo were for varying reasons (some birthdays / company trips etc).
For the meat, I used packet bio sausages from a local farm.
They have slightly more calories than chicken, but at least I was 100% sure of the cooked quantities (500g packaging with 5 sausages).
But eating the same thing every day was not a problem. It's also nice not to have to struggle counting calories etc.
Definitely going to try this. This sounds very practical and doable.
The only diet I need is Dr Mike sausage juice
Dear lord haha
Thank you for breaking down diet in an easy way to follow.
Made a super simplistic vegan diet for myself, lost 30lb so far in the past couple of months. I make a large amount of a food: carb part - usually rice, sometimes boiled potato, pasta, noodles or bread; and protein fiber part - usually TVP, sometimes lentils or canned beans; eat that 3x a day for two or three days, along with some fresh veggies, basically only cabbage, carrots, tomato, cucumbers. (Plus a bit of tomato sauce or ketchup I sometimes put in my TVP rice.) A snack of a bit of nuts or seeds or olives. If I want another snack I eat fruit, basically just apples and oranges. If I want something really sweet I make some whipped cream or sometimes get a tiny chocolate bar. I drink only water, zero sugar sodas, or tea with stevia. A complete multivitamin-multimineral supplement, an omega 3 supplement. And that's it, the entire thing.
L carnitine too, it's more important than Omega if off meat.
But L-carnitine isnt an essential nutrient, if a veg(etari)an consumes good amounts of protein, the body will make L-carnitine itself..
nice man keep going!
@@zelenisok Just not enough.

I have a weird input, Dr Mike. I am 5'7, the highest weight I ever remember seeing on a scale was 286 pound at around the age of 17 or 18. At 26 years old I was so unhealthy that I managed to get shingles. I decided to make a drastic shift in my diet by starting with switching to zero sugar drinks. The only food I would eat is Starkist Tuna packs and my exercises would be 15 mins of whatever I could do on my floor. I would do that 15 mins as many times and as often as I possibly could. My cheat meal days consisted of baked chicken or tilapia. It was a very tough but honestly enjoyable 8 months or so of the intense calorie deficit. In the end it was extreme, but was worth it was the lowest weight I've seen on a scale is 134 pounds. Luckily I am turning 29 soon and I can easily stay around 140 ish to 150 while eating whatever I want. I don't know if I changed my metabolism or what but I obviously still drink sugar free stuff and watch myself to an extend.
You're at the best age you'll ever be right now. I could eat anything at 29.
Not recommending red meats or eggs when these foods are the most nutrient rich foods is unfortunate
Yep Mike can't seem to totally ditch the bro science. That degree mill propaganda is hard to ditch.
So much value for a video. Always appreciative of your information.
Just dont eat grains, no reason for them
I've been on a weight loss journey for about 2 years now, I've lost a total of about 70 lbs going for another 6-7. I started at 240 around 40% BF and now I'm 170, I think I gained 20lbs or so of muscle over this time. I never counted calories and I currently have a 6 pack, it can absolutely be done! I just always had enough protein intake, listened to my body, and ate mostly the same foods throughout the week.
Awesome, man! Good work. You’ll live longer!
I've had the most success with calorie counting, but it completely falls apart for dining out especially at local mom and pop places. I think I'll use this for thr dining out portions.
Basically figure our my portions based fist/finger and then get the rest in a box to consume the next meal
Nice and simple common sense to dieting. This is very refreshing, considering all of the BS we see and hear about dieting. Thank you!
Does anybody else watch these videos while working out (at home) to maintain motivation? I feel like I can just put a few of these on and it helps me grind out a hard ass workout.
Cutting weight is easy. Sustain weekly caloric deficit for a period of time, while hitting your macros. Thought it really does help if you if you food prep and select these healthy ingredients.
I have been reaping the benefits from following your advice and tips. Awesome content preciate you man.
My hands are huge so I'm happy with this method.
This was perfectly timed! I am getting ready to start trying to lean out… thank you Doc this helps!!!❤
Last I knew, the USDA trashed their food guide pyramid and replaced it with myplate. Half your plate is vegetable and fruits, 25% of your plate is lean protein and 25% grain. It’s similar to what you’re talking about.
Needed this video! 3 weeks into a mini-cut with a stag do in the next few days
Where the hell is part 1? Lol link please? Awesome work you do. Thank you very much!
It's the video titled "is it time for you to start a diet?" from 7 days ago
It doesn't answer any questions people have here. I just watched it. Still looking for chill diet example.
@d2ds17 this is a new series and the next video will be available in a week. That's probably when chill diet will be explained
Thank you kindly. No one ever explained it simplier.
