In case you need some titles for this series may I suggest: Paper Gowns, Looking for a Waistline, An Abundance of Saccharine, and The Fault in Our Carbs. ;-) Goodness knows many of these titles could also apply to me! :-/
Rafaela Carvalho Wait... I know mass is different (lb/kilo oz/g), but isn't volume kinda the same? Do you use something other than cups/tbsp/tsp? Honestly really curious because I can't imagine a recipe that uses something else for volume.
The tsp/tbsp/cups measurement is fine! :) But I have no idea how much is an ounce and I can only sort of guess that one pound is around half a kilo. But that's pretty much it, hahaha!
Hehe, no, i have no concept of how much a cup would be, which kind of cup anyway, tea? Coffee? Cappuccino? I'm perpetually confused by receipts with cups! ☺
I'm going to do my best to follow along. I gave up smoking 7 weeks ago (it's my New Years resolution, I did it early because I was scared if I waited to 2017 I would decide it wasn't worth it!). As someone with serious health issues, it would be great to see more conversation about adapting exercise and diet.
That's awesome, I think you made it through the worst part of quitting smoking. It's even more impressive that you did it over the holidays, since that is notoriously a high-stress time, and so many of my friends relapse in times of stress. Go you!
I love John Green. He is completely honest about his mental health situation and isn't afraid to just casual drop it in a conversation (or joke about psychologists lol). He gives me real hope that I will one day be able to live a "normal" life with, not against, my mental illness.
6:57 John Green in a keeper headband!!!! WHAAAT!! (I know, I know....the dftba store sells them) but I really want to see them play a company wide quidditch match!
Just now realizing that so many of the Indianapolis studio project sets are in a big square. You can see CC: Games, Mental Floss and the Art Assignment just in the interview scenes.
The Jenna Pearl check out the team better app. Micro goals would be, I'm going to eat vegetarian today or I'm going to exercise for 10 minutes today. Just something to accomplish in a day. I have habits I want to form so I keep a list of things I want to do everyday. Hope this helps!
I had weight loss surgery 17 days ago and I'm planning on changing my lifestyle around drastically. I'm hoping this channel will help inspire me on the days I struggle. Thanks for doing this John!!
NinjaNerd007 glad to hear you want to change your life style. I wish you luck on your journey! btw if you'd like some more motivation I'm doing the same, trying to get back in shape 😊
This show is ON POINT. As a dietitian student, it is sooooo refreshing to actually talk about health and facts, and not looks and pseudoscience. ♥️ I love the Green Brothers. I wish I could see Hank here, though.
I just realized that I've never heard John speak unscripted and I genuinely enjoyed that today: John Green is a Normal Human Being! Happy New Year! I am very much looking forward to the next 100 days!
Sheridan. Zulaiha, Meredith, Seth, Mark, Brandon, John and Chris. This is beautiful produced and will help this amazing community so much, I'm so excited to see where this goes!
I like Laura's approach with the cross-discipline training (or whatever that's called). I'm using this as a replacement for my friend who refuses to consider anything other than an exercise cycle (and whom I'm a bit worried about). This would also be good for my mental health issues. Really happy I came across this.
6:57 John I gotta say I love your shirt. So maybe watching this will inspire me to be healthier now so that I can enjoy a healthier lifestyle later on.
Hello 100days team! In case you're reading this, I'd like to know who manages/will be managing this channel, like comment responses and whatnot. I'm just curious.
Hey team! I thought I'd share my goals along. I've been working on the 52 Hike Challenge since July, and I've finished 20 hikes so far. I'm near the end of Couch 2 5K and I'm attempting my first official full run 5K on the 14th. After that..maybe 10K? Not sure. Food wise, making my own lunch at least 3 times a week to save money! Pumped to watch y'all experiment
I'm very excited for this. I'm a kinda fit guy but illness/Christmas/impending knee operation has left me feeling a bit crappy on the fitness front, so I'll be using you guys as motivation!
I'm really excited for this. I started making changes to my life in mid December but I know something like this is going to keep me motivated. I am also the focus on this is to make you healthy and strong and no how much you weigh. Thank you John and Chris!
Oh man I am so excited about this channel! I am currently trying to have a healthy quarter life crisis - nothing like waking up at 25 and realizing that your metabolism is not what it used to be... I'm doing ok with the exercise but the diet is way harder for me so I'm looking forward to the recepies
I hate it. I'm either angry because it isn't working or SOFA KING bored. I am the "do 19 things at once" type so meditation is just... gah... I used to do what I referred to as "reverse meditation" - where instead of trying to clear my mind I would try to see how many distinctly different thoughts I could have at the same time. So I would think of song lyrics, while counting by three, while alphabetically listing animals, while thinking about a baking recipe, etc. Then I would just keep adding a new thought trail. Eventually my brain would "overload" and go blank, and that would be meditative for me.
I am trained in teaching meditation techniques and mindfulness - and I struggle do it myself. You have to find what technique works for you. It could be peeling potatoes or something. I find breathing excercises work best for me - circular breathing, conciously switching between chest and stomach breathing and contract/relax muscle exercises, or reciting a poem. There are so many to try though. It is about being in concious control of your thoughts and being in your body.
I used to be the same way. Still happens a lot but moslty because I've stopped meditating regularily. here's what I suggest if your brain is doing the lack-of-chill routine. Let it for a short bit. Then start focussing on one thought at a time from all those thoughts. When other thoughts try to interrupt that thought let them but as soon as you can remember to go back and focus on your original thought putting the interrupting one into a box or jar or container to go back to once your done with your original thought. It took a lot of time and practice and I never got my brain to stop doing it's super crazy never slow down and stop routine but what I did discover was that I got better and better about moving the interrupting thoughts to the side which meant I had longer periods of time to focus on the original thought. This was great practice as it turns out for the next stage of meditation which is learning to think of absolutely nothing. A seemingly easy task but one that is still the hardest thing I ever had to do. However; since I already had a method for keeping what I didn't want to focus on at bay l was able to start doing so fairly quickly.
That good ole SI joint. I have had really bad issues with my right all through my teens and early 20s because of and injury. It can really make it hard to work out at times.
Sounds like you guys are taking a lot on at once, I hope it doesn't become overwhelming and you find something you enjoy in each aspect which motivates yous to continue!
keeperofdestiny hence the microgoals conversation. They might have days where they meditate and exercise but eat like crap, but they achieve their microgoal. It breaks it into bight sized pieces
You guys should look at IFFYM. If It Fits Your Macros is the most effective dieting tool. Athletes, especially athletes that need to maintain or get to a certain weight class. Yes, you have a to count calories, but its the least mentally taxing dieting method and is sustainable for years (or even a lifetime) and perfectly tackles the problem of "rigid dieting".
I also have SI joint pain (yes diagnosed) and I was wondering if could you add the exercises the doctor gave you so that I can compare them to the ones I have?
I have been really looking forward to this project since it was announced, I have been looking for more inspiration in becoming healthier for a while now, so hopefully this will be helpful especially on rainy days.
Why is this so. dang. charming? This is funny, sweet and super relatable. Good on you, Mr. Green, for talking about fitness and mid-life changes as if they are adventures and not impossible obstacles full of failure. I am officially inspired.🙅🙅🙅👍
Myka Dassano I imagine you're right. I know they aren't GOOD for you with the fake sugar, etc. But at 0 calories I'm curious if she was like "Well, there are definitely worse things..."
Nicholas Pattie everything in moderation man! No diet should completely exclude anything, but instead of the normal 20 oz bottle or even the normal cans try to find the little 6 oz sodas and limit yourself to no more than 1 a day.
There is no health professional that would condone artificial sweeteners. They might allow it like "on a cheat day" or whatever. Fake sweeteners have been proven to decrease your metabolism and increase your "sweet tooth." MULTIPLE STUDIES have shown that people who drink artificial sweeteners actually lost LESS weight than people who just gave in and had a real soda. They tell your body that you are getting sugar, and you make insulin for it and then don't have any sugar for the insulin to handle. Which slows your metabolism and makes you CRAVE sugar more because your body is prepared for it and didn't actually receive any. Artificial sweeteners should ONLY ONLY ONLY be used by diabetics who cannot have sugar. There is NO other time when they are any good. That being said... alcohol, red meat, cheese, etc are all ALSO "bad" for you... so everything in moderation.
Can we please have more detail about the nutrition recommendations? What did she say about Diet Dr. Pepper? I'd always heard beer was worse than liquor for its impact on your blood sugar. I'd love to hear more about that, too! Are these oils for cooking or is this some sinister oil therapy thing? :) Thanks for letting us share the journey!
Super pumped for this!! I've been doing something like this here and there all of last year so I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do. I should probably incorporate meditation as well.
good luck John! getting back in shape is a big focus on my TH-cam channel now. I share tips/what I'm doing, hoping to help and inspire a few out there 😊 I'm a recovering burn survivor and fitness is really important to me
I do WeightWatchers because I can eat basically unlimited fruits and veggies, which really works for me since I am vegetarian. Good luck, guys! You got this!
Will you be posting videos daily or weekly? And will they be a more follow along for the viewer type of style or educational? I have a few questions like these because I want to do my best to follow along. Good luck to all the nerdfighters who are doing the same!!
Lyssandra Norton It should have been 'No' as even Dr. Pepper (or anything really) sweetened with artificial sweeteners is not shown to help reduce weight. The reason for that is uncertain, but it could be that the sweeteners trick your brain into thinking that sugar is coming but, of course, you consume no actual sugar. This may lead to craving even more sugar which you consume plus the artificial sugar you had earlier. That's just a theory, but the case still remains that 'Diet' anything is no better for you.
I have been thinking of finding a doctor the specializes in sports medicine for a while, as most of my issues stem from past and present sports related injuries. It was interesting to see the exam process.
I can't believe that dietician, Kim Bradley, recommended a daily intake of 2 cups of dairy. That's about 488g and should give about 250 or 350 calories, 6 or 13 g of saturated fat, 0.4 or 0.6 g of trans fats, and 40 or 50 mg cholesterol. Keep in mind that the recommended upper limit for cholesterol is 300 mg, for saturated fat is 20 g, and for trans fats it's 0 g. That's not a typo, the only safe dosage of trans fats is 0 g per day so how could she recommend dairy? There are many healthy sources of Calcium such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and vegetables. Even the doctor recommended Chris to limit his cheeses but Kim Bradley described dairy as a health food? Kim Bradley also recommended 6 teaspoons of oils. Assuming that's 24 g of olive oil then that's 240 calories, 3.7 g of saturated fat, and 0.04 g of trans fats. And assuming that's 24 g of canola oil then that's 200 calories, 1.7 g of saturated fat, and 0.09 g of trans fats. This isn't as bad as dairy but still, why 6 teaspoons of this junk? You can get all of your healthy fats from nuts, seeds, or avocados. And, of course, no mention of a whole food, plant based, which is the only diet in the world which has ever been proved to reverse health disease and have a wide variety of other benefits. And let's say that John or Chris said, outright, that they can't go vegan. OK, then let them eat whatever they want but, if we're going to talk about healthy foods, we have to start with the facts first and then we can negotiate what's realistic and what's not. So disappointing. I guess the world still isn't ready to have a real conversation about food.
I'd like to hear the answers to some of those nutrition questions, both to understand nutrition better and (mostly) to understand the focus of your particular plan (for example: beer, wine, and liquor servings are the same in alcohol content/liver impact, but not in calories or in other health pros/cons. I'd like to know which parts your nutritionist wants you to care about).
I don't really have Twitter/instagram/Snapchat and I'm using facebook less and less. If I follow this only on TH-cam will I miss a lot of info and updates?
I have minor concerns about the trainer, basic strength training is a must for longer and better quality living. More muscle (not body building) helps with metabolic disorders, weightloss and brain health and proper resistance training helps with osteoporosis prevention and regression. While you will lose some weight, you will run into a plateau much sooner.
John, you are wearing a quidditch headband. This means you must try quidditch. You must! (Seriously, it's like the most fun way to exercise apart from ice-skating and cycling, although, being dutch, I might be a bit biased there.)
Jeez, I consulted no one before I started. I'm glad I'm not dead.

Rusty Moth Studio Well done 😂 🙅👏👏👏
Thanks Belinda Weber! If only I could have thought of one for Will Grayson Will Grayson! (v_v)
"I'm more mad at my self for agreeing to do this" omg, that's great
Can I ask you guys to share the recipes using the metric system, too? I'm sure that non-Americans like me would appreciate that a lot. :)
Rafaela Carvalho Wait... I know mass is different (lb/kilo oz/g), but isn't volume kinda the same? Do you use something other than cups/tbsp/tsp? Honestly really curious because I can't imagine a recipe that uses something else for volume.
The tsp/tbsp/cups measurement is fine! :) But I have no idea how much is an ounce and I can only sort of guess that one pound is around half a kilo. But that's pretty much it, hahaha!
yeah we don't use cups or spoons, we use very precise measurements in grams and milliliters and such. Recipes have to be "translated", too.
TheQuetzalcoatl You don't use those either? Wow, that's interesting! I use cups and spoons, but not ounces and pounds - only grams and mililiters. :)
Hehe, no, i have no concept of how much a cup would be, which kind of cup anyway, tea? Coffee? Cappuccino? I'm perpetually confused by receipts with cups! ☺
I'm going to do my best to follow along. I gave up smoking 7 weeks ago (it's my New Years resolution, I did it early because I was scared if I waited to 2017 I would decide it wasn't worth it!).

That's awesome that you gave up smoking! Keep up the good work!!!
Hi! Congrats on quitting smoking! That's huge. I'll be trying to follow along with you. I just wanted to wish you good luck!
Woohoo! Keep at it!!
Babelfroggy That is so awesome about the quitting smoking! 😁
I wish you all the luck in the world.
That's awesome, I think you made it through the worst part of quitting smoking. It's even more impressive that you did it over the holidays, since that is notoriously a high-stress time, and so many of my friends relapse in times of stress. Go you!

John! I also have issues with my sacroiliac joint (S.I.). I've been dealing with chronic pain because of it since a heavy injury in September 2015.
Celebrate Geek Omar Isuf has a fitness channel and he's been dealing with SI too if you're curious to check him out
Just now realizing that so many of the Indianapolis studio project sets are in a big square. You can see CC: Games, Mental Floss and the Art Assignment just in the interview scenes.
More info on microgoals would be cool - maybe someone (a viewer, etc) talk a bit about it in the community tab?
The Jenna Pearl check out the team better app. Micro goals would be, I'm going to eat vegetarian today or I'm going to exercise for 10 minutes today. Just something to accomplish in a day. I have habits I want to form so I keep a list of things I want to do everyday. Hope this helps!

Hats off to Mark Olsen for the great graphic design for this series! Really well done. :)

Hey team! I thought I'd share my goals along. I've been working on the 52 Hike Challenge since July, and I've finished 20 hikes so far. I'm near the end of Couch 2 5K and I'm attempting my first official full run 5K on the 14th. After that..maybe 10K? Not sure.
Food wise, making my own lunch at least 3 times a week to save money!
Pumped to watch y'all experiment
Hi John! Happy New Year!
Excellent! Looking forward to seeing how you are getting on. Happy new year!
I hope they do before and afters
FINALLY! I have been waiting for what feels like forever for this!
This is going to be fantastic. I am so excited.
I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the series!
Yay!!! Go John and Chris! You guys can do it :D
I'm very excited for this. I'm a kinda fit guy but illness/Christmas/impending knee operation has left me feeling a bit crappy on the fitness front, so I'll be using you guys as motivation!
I'm really excited for this. I started making changes to my life in mid December but I know something like this is going to keep me motivated.
I am also the focus on this is to make you healthy and strong and no how much you weigh. Thank you John and Chris!
"Chris I don't think you're treating this like a negotiation enough."
LOL
Oh man I am so excited about this channel! I am currently trying to have a healthy quarter life crisis - nothing like waking up at 25 and realizing that your metabolism is not what it used to be... I'm doing ok with the exercise but the diet is way harder for me so I'm looking forward to the recepies
Meditation seems like it'd be really easy, but I find it so ridiculously difficult. Like damn. Brain. Chill.
I hate it. I'm either angry because it isn't working or SOFA KING bored. I am the "do 19 things at once" type so meditation is just... gah...
I used to do what I referred to as "reverse meditation" - where instead of trying to clear my mind I would try to see how many distinctly different thoughts I could have at the same time. So I would think of song lyrics, while counting by three, while alphabetically listing animals, while thinking about a baking recipe, etc.
Then I would just keep adding a new thought trail. Eventually my brain would "overload" and go blank, and that would be meditative for me.
Cleodel yeah, i have the same problem lol.
I have a bit more luck with hypnosis but even thats tough.
I am trained in teaching meditation techniques and mindfulness - and I struggle do it myself. You have to find what technique works for you. It could be peeling potatoes or something. I find breathing excercises work best for me - circular breathing, conciously switching between chest and stomach breathing and contract/relax muscle exercises, or reciting a poem. There are so many to try though. It is about being in concious control of your thoughts and being in your body.
Myka Dassano that is your meditation - you tell your thoughts where to go
I used to be the same way. Still happens a lot but moslty because I've stopped meditating regularily.
here's what I suggest if your brain is doing the lack-of-chill routine. Let it for a short bit. Then start focussing on one thought at a time from all those thoughts. When other thoughts try to interrupt that thought let them but as soon as you can remember to go back and focus on your original thought putting the interrupting one into a box or jar or container to go back to once your done with your original thought.

However; since I already had a method for keeping what I didn't want to focus on at bay l was able to start doing so fairly quickly.
Throughout this series, I believe that our community should create an evolution of the puff, as the puff is ever changing.
I can't wait for Tuesday!!!
This was way more enjoyable than I expected it to be. Looking forward to it now
That good ole SI joint. I have had really bad issues with my right all through my teens and early 20s because of and injury. It can really make it hard to work out at times.

My better nutrition will have to wait until I'm back at the dorm and away from mom's comfort food. I'm excited to see where this goes!
woo!! I'm so excited to see how this goes. We're rooting for you guys!
I'm so excited for this!! :) You're awesome John!!
Could you guys please put warnings if you show puking? I would really really appreciate it! I'm looking forward to this series!
Best of luck! Perhaps I'll try some of your recipes; definitely not doing any exercise not prescribed by my physical therapist.
Curious where the dietitian stood on diet soft drinks
Same
Opposed I am certain, or there would've been a shot of her telling him he could have it and him rejoicing.
Myka Dassano I imagine you're right. I know they aren't GOOD for you with the fake sugar, etc. But at 0 calories I'm curious if she was like "Well, there are definitely worse things..."
Nicholas Pattie everything in moderation man! No diet should completely exclude anything, but instead of the normal 20 oz bottle or even the normal cans try to find the little 6 oz sodas and limit yourself to no more than 1 a day.

I'm so excited about this, just joined the gym and ready to make some changes!
I love the fact that John is wearing a Rhett&Link t-shirt.
I'm watching this while eating cinnamon rolls and turkey bacon .. whoops.
It's better than pork bacon
Superbouncybubble True, in that case I have zero regrets
Of the two,I think the cinnamon roll is more concerning. Good thing the official Day 1 is tomorrow

John Green, I empathise so much with you you don't even know.
Really inspired by the micro goals thing, I think I'm going to try that. Good luck with your diet! It sounds rough
I was literally eating marshmallows while watching this.
M&Ms for me.
I had donuts....
Akumu74 icecream and corndogs here
I'm having hot chocolate with marshmallows
pepperoni pizza here.
Ahh yes I've been waiting for this all day! Just finished my workout and I'm excited to do 100 days myself and start the new year off right.
You guys are so amazing for doing this!
Super pumped for this!! I've been doing something like this here and there all of last year so I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do. I should probably incorporate meditation as well.
I forgot this was coming, otherwise I would've been excited for January 1st to roll around.
Looking forward to future videos.
I'm really looking forward to this. It's going to be really interesting.
You can do it, John! Think of the measurably increasing metrics!
good luck John! getting back in shape is a big focus on my TH-cam channel now. I share tips/what I'm doing, hoping to help and inspire a few out there 😊 I'm a recovering burn survivor and fitness is really important to me
I never expected Chris to look like that.
Having slowly sort of seen the results on VlogBrothers I'm excited to watch this series!
this is gon be realllll cool to watch
I do WeightWatchers because I can eat basically unlimited fruits and veggies, which really works for me since I am vegetarian.
Good luck, guys! You got this!
Will you be posting videos daily or weekly? And will they be a more follow along for the viewer type of style or educational? I have a few questions like these because I want to do my best to follow along. Good luck to all the nerdfighters who are doing the same!!
Twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday. And we'll share a workout to go along with each episode.
can I drink Dr pepper?😂
But what was the answer?
Lyssandra Norton It should have been 'No' as even Dr. Pepper (or anything really) sweetened with artificial sweeteners is not shown to help reduce weight. The reason for that is uncertain, but it could be that the sweeteners trick your brain into thinking that sugar is coming but, of course, you consume no actual sugar.

:)
i will stick with lemon tea, green tea or simple lemon and warm water
I am so excited for all of this.
I am so excited for this.
So looking forward to seeing where you guys are at, at Nerdcon Nerdfighteria!
I have been thinking of finding a doctor the specializes in sports medicine for a while, as most of my issues stem from past and present sports related injuries. It was interesting to see the exam process.
Micro-goals are supported very well with the SuperBetter book and app.
Earlier there was a mention of following John and Chris and Fitbit. I find Fitbit very motivating, could I find out more about that?
Yay!!! So excited!
I can't believe that dietician, Kim Bradley, recommended a daily intake of 2 cups of dairy. That's about 488g and should give about 250 or 350 calories, 6 or 13 g of saturated fat, 0.4 or 0.6 g of trans fats, and 40 or 50 mg cholesterol. Keep in mind that the recommended upper limit for cholesterol is 300 mg, for saturated fat is 20 g, and for trans fats it's 0 g. That's not a typo, the only safe dosage of trans fats is 0 g per day so how could she recommend dairy? There are many healthy sources of Calcium such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and vegetables. Even the doctor recommended Chris to limit his cheeses but Kim Bradley described dairy as a health food?
Kim Bradley also recommended 6 teaspoons of oils. Assuming that's 24 g of olive oil then that's 240 calories, 3.7 g of saturated fat, and 0.04 g of trans fats. And assuming that's 24 g of canola oil then that's 200 calories, 1.7 g of saturated fat, and 0.09 g of trans fats. This isn't as bad as dairy but still, why 6 teaspoons of this junk? You can get all of your healthy fats from nuts, seeds, or avocados.
And, of course, no mention of a whole food, plant based, which is the only diet in the world which has ever been proved to reverse health disease and have a wide variety of other benefits. And let's say that John or Chris said, outright, that they can't go vegan. OK, then let them eat whatever they want but, if we're going to talk about healthy foods, we have to start with the facts first and then we can negotiate what's realistic and what's not.
So disappointing. I guess the world still isn't ready to have a real conversation about food.
I'd like to hear the answers to some of those nutrition questions, both to understand nutrition better and (mostly) to understand the focus of your particular plan (for example: beer, wine, and liquor servings are the same in alcohol content/liver impact, but not in calories or in other health pros/cons. I'd like to know which parts your nutritionist wants you to care about).
I don't really have Twitter/instagram/Snapchat and I'm using facebook less and less. If I follow this only on TH-cam will I miss a lot of info and updates?
Not at all. Most updates will be through TH-cam videos and community posts.
100days hey thanks for replying! Thats great, I'm looking forward to it. Good luck guys have a happy 100
I'll try to do this along with you guys and get inspiration from your videos :)
Can't wait to start this with you guys!
lottie 234 I'm on a journey to get back in shape myself if you want more motivation 😀
How often will you upload?
love the Rhett and link shirt John!
Thank you so much for not considering today as day 1, I was worried about opening the video
I'm very excited about this!
I really hope John's Keeper headband becomes a staple of the exercise episodes.
Go John! Go Chris! You guys rock :D
I have minor concerns about the trainer, basic strength training is a must for longer and better quality living. More muscle (not body building) helps with metabolic disorders, weightloss and brain health and proper resistance training helps with osteoporosis prevention and regression. While you will lose some weight, you will run into a plateau much sooner.
Excellent excellent!!!!!!!
John, you are wearing a quidditch headband. This means you must try quidditch. You must! (Seriously, it's like the most fun way to exercise apart from ice-skating and cycling, although, being dutch, I might be a bit biased there.)
