You guys are on a completely differently level. The topics, y’all’s ability to delve into said topics and speak to them from not just a head knowledge perspective, but also true lived experience. So solid ! Appreciate you guys !
I never thought that once I found something that works, and then it doesn't!!! That makes so much sense. I find I change things up every few months. I thought it was just me!! But at 64, I find the foods I can eat and that help my body come and go...changes made when needed...thanks for letting me now I am not crazy!
This might be one of the best one's yal have ever done. Adam is so on target with the 5 guys thing. What keeps me (most of the time) from making those late evening decisions is knowing my nightly routines will go straight out the window, then my morning/morning routines either get pushed back and I'm behind all day, or they don't happen at all. Then that influences me to make even shittier food decisions for the next day, and it's this domino cascading effect which sends my entire week off the f'n rails.... Food truly is data, and information..... Dog shit data in, and complete dog shit data comes out. Hooyah Mind Pump 🤘
Just staying away from processed foods has helped me the most. Lifting heavy 4 to 6 days a week helps with the aches and pains from work. Just turned 55 a few days ago and don't want to slow down.
Been watching you for a while but this episode was probably the most eye opening for me. I've had times when I've finished my work week, which is fairly physically and mentally demanding, and have experienced an energy crash. I've put it down to being tired but after listening to you I think it's my food choices. Thank you 😊
I saw your podcast on how it’s beneficial to workout for 15 minutes a day and that was exactly what I needed to hear. I’m a teacher and don’t have time to workout for 45 to hour in the morning and that is the only time I can manage to workout. By the time I get home in the evenings I have no energy to go to the gym. So your 15 minute workout training guide would be amazing! Thank you guys for your podcasts. So helpful for people like me who are just starting out in weight training.
Sal you nailed it with the going down like air comment. I never realized my food was effecting me negatively until I started eating foods that didn’t make me feel bad. It was like, ooohhhhhh I can actually feel better after I eat?! 🤯 I’m just now getting to point where I can connect the dots and make better decisions so as always, thank you for putting this content out there. This episode helped me more than you could ever know.
@Broccoli Rob that’s a great point! I was spending a lot on ribeye when it was available, but I would also get a much cheaper london broil and smoke it just the same. Far less fat and more meat for less money. Amen brother.
Had a really stressful couple of weeks and realized yesterday the one thing I did differently than in the past was eat my feelings. Kept on track with my eating plan and found other ways to deal with the stress. I attribute that to what I’ve learned listening to mind pump. Keep doing what you’re doing guys - you are changing lives.
I spent my entire life eating tons of veggies and minimal protein and I was bloated and fat AF! Now I follow a keto/carnivore style diet. Zero inflammation, maintaining my weight is effortless , my sleep, my energy, my gut, mood, skin EVERYTHING improved! When a colleague asks what I eat, I'll tell them a shit load of meat and dairy, and it's like they immediately start to write my obituary 😂. Food is like a religion and I've learned to stop preaching and conversion is never an option. We all have to do what works for us. LOVE you guys! Educational and funny AF😅
I have been preaching protein prioritization ever since listening to you guys and seeing the difference it made when I truly paid attention to getting enough. That and a sleep routine added 10 more pounds of muscle that I didn't think I had the potential to add. Thanks.
At 53 years young, for the most part I've found the right diet for myself at this age. I'm comfortable happy n confident it's sustaining my workload and exercise programs. Fantastic content. Thanks Sal, Adam and Justin.
OmGGGG! SO liberating! YES....meal plans work SOMETIMES, other times total confinement and so detrimental. Veganism is my best BUT sometimes it aches my digestion so salmon, eggs, tuna become essential....until I balance out. Sometimes liquids are my fuel and other times protein powder is intolerable. Yes yes YES! We are ever-evolving living beings that need to adapt. Such a liberating talk today - THANK YOU ♡
The skin and hair section was eye opening to me! I was diagnosed with Grovers Disease in 2015 and the Dermatologist told me my diet had nothing to do with it. I have found out through trial and error that processed sugars do a gnarly number on my skin and cause the Grovers rash breakouts. Watching this today helped to solidify what I have been finding in my own experiments that is actually causing this. Thank you so much for this!
When I start to get rashes/dried skin on my knees elbows and heels, it's almost always when I have been eating poorly, and as soon as I straighten back up and get dialed in, it goes away. It's confirmation for me... that it's nutrient deficiency.
Changed my whole perception, on fitness, weight gain, muscles. Basically, when you learn something new, you are reborn ( since you change the patterns of your neurons how they were wiring). You expand my comfort zone, and helped me recover. Keep on pumpin nd rocking :) !
This is super helpful information! I've just found you in the last week, and it's just changing how I think of fitness or confirming things I've changed my mind on over the years! I really appreciate how the focus on "diets" is both personal, and encourages a curiosity to how foods affect us individually. The only thing missing I think is cost... It's hard to keep consistent diet when you can't source all ingredients all year long. Not to eat unhealthy, but I eat different in the winter than the summer due to food/cost availability
How timely.. I recently had horrible indigestion that lasted a week from green bell peppers. Used to love them in salads and now I suddenly cannot process uncooked veggies that well. It really set me back on my gains... Super important what goes in your body. You guys are so right about how we should curate and tailor our diet to our needs/what works for us specifically.
as someone who tried everything and was in all situations possible (College, Work, Family, at home during covid, hospital) I found out that I ate way too many carbs for my body to handle. Now I don´t go Keto but I am below 80g of carbs per day and It works like magic for me. Fasting till 2pm have one or two meals until 8pm which are fatty and protein rich (with little to none carbs) and the most important thing If you´re like me and sitting all day and working in an office is: More movement! I park 20 minutes away from work so I get 40 minutes of fast paced walking every day and train for 15-20 Minutes per day too. After that I do some mobility & flexibility and fascias work so round about an hour a day (mobility & flexibility most of the time in front of an tv and watching my favourite show)
I’m always happy when I see a new notification now because I know there’s a new MP episode! Solid and applicable information given in digestible amounts. Thanks Mind Pump Team! I also love that you can listen to the podcast if you are not in a position to watch… or just listen anyway because some things strike differently when your aren’t watching.
Man I never really gave much thought to the name of the show till today. MIND pump. I love how they lay out that it’s not just knowing formulas or techniques but behavior. Know your “why”. It’s OK to veer off course for a meal or even a day but know why. Know your body, know your triggers, know your tendencies, and know how to correct. Dave Ramsey says 90% of finance is behavior. Sounds like it’s the same when it comes to how we eat and exercise.
Great show - I am definitely one of those people who changed from diet to diet (and I lost weight on all of them) and thought this is the one. Great insight from you guys. Thanks.
I love listening to you guys while driving anywhere I get to learn and hear the discussions and I love it ❤ thanks for sharing this. Also downloaded the podcast :) but I prefer to see you 😊
Man I would love to get this new program, will help me so much to keep consistent because I fight Jiu jitsu and always had a problem to fit a strength training with it
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up.
Human beings are the only animals on the planet that are susceptible to self deception and propaganda. Only we can feel like shit after eating something and still believe its good for us. We love ideologies. This is something that took me a long time to understand. During my early 20's I was very plant based. Only about 20-30 percent of my diet was protein. I barely made gains and around the age of 24, I started to lose energy. I would be functioning at a 30% of my regular self. This continued for almost 4 years. During mid 2021, I did a 2-month carnivore diet. That completely changed how i looked at food. I'm not a strict carnivore but now my diet is about 60-80% protein. A year and a half into this and I feel better than I felt at 24-28. Im now 29. I'm making better gains at the gym and living a more fit life. I'm full of energy. People think I'm younger than I actually am. I love the food I make. Its delicious; i dont need cheat days. In fact, cheat type of meals just make me feel worse. They taste like shit. I love cooking at home with no seed oils; my own salt with local food.
I absolutely love you guys’ podcast. I could listen to you guys talk for hours - you break everything down so well and both tell listeners the hard truth yet don’t every imply any diet or lifestyle or type of person is “bad.” I have such respect for you all
Needed this. I tried so hard to follow the best muscle building diet but drove me in a to an extreme inflammatory bowel disease flare and hospitalization that set me back years of health and muscle I worked so hard for. Now I know the macros that matter is what my digestive system can handle. Frustrating place but had to surrender
I’ve been enjoying all of your content so much! I was actually listening to an earlier episode just before and Sal asked something along the lines of a song what song gets the others pumped up, Justin said Bulls On Parade (great song) and Adam responded with Vicarious by Tool and I literally said out loud to myself “I see your Vicarious and raise you Parabola” and couldn’t help but laugh 😂 thanks for all the laughs lads, can’t wait to be able to apply so as much of the information you’re sharing as I can to not only my life but the lives of those around me 🥰
You guys have definitely become a mainstay in my TH-cam fitness world. Mentioned your show in the gym recently and was cool to put a few people on to your show AND learn that few fellow gym goers are already steady listeners as well. I've been sorta stuck in my current routine and am reallllly curious about the new 15 minute program. Going from around an hour or so a session to that would interesting ...and weird. Here comes the show !
I’m still in that cycle of finding that right diet, when I was in college IIFYM was perfect but now after straight binging all of Quarantine I created some bad habits that I’m still trying to undue. Right now just focusing on a “meat and fruit diet” but slowly adding back in gluten free carb sources. But definitely learned from this to listen to my body
I’ve got one more week of Anabolic and then I will be moving on to Performance. I have reverse dieted while going through the program so I’m anxious to do a cut and see how my body changes. I’ve definitely gotten stronger but my clothes are getting a little tight. I’m following y’all’s advice and “trusting the process.”
Oddly enough I listen to mind pump in the shower, and fun fact! This is one of the few podcasts I’m able to hear very clearly while I wash my dirty body. Shout out to the sound team
24:35 mine is jasmine rice and taco seasoned lean ground beef w hot sauce 👌🏼🤤 another weird prep one though was grilled chicken/ground Turkey and a toasted plain bagel w ketchup 😅
Thank you so much for this breakdown! So many make balance look like chicken breast and fish entrees for 70% of meals and it's so unappetizing to me (not to mention, it doesn't keep me full very long). It's nice to see how balance can be highly individualized and flexible as a person ages.
I'm pretty fortunate with my relationship with food. I don't eat to medicate and I typically eat to satiate. Foods don't usually negatively affect me all that much, too. I do tend to crave sweets, though, and love to eat junk food. I'm good at moderating how much I eat, but if I wanted, I could easily eat an entire bag of chips or chocolate.
emotional connection with food is probably the most important for me. But it’s not the emotional from what I ate as a child but the foods I eat as I train and my results. Very good point. I do, however, crash after eating oatmeal. I have to add some almonds and then I’m good. But, I must count them 🙃 🤓 cuz I can do WAY too many of them at one time. Thanks for this info. Great way to inform us 😎
First? Keto works for most people because it eliminates processed crap. I'll bet it's become less effective with the rise in processed keto food for those that get the processed keto food. I am gluten free and I get issues when I have too much processed food. Still editing: I always try to rotate proteins, veggies, colors of fruits and veggies. I just got married with a short courtship. One of the things I've been talking to my husband about is getting these varieties in our diets. It's new for him that I feed him colorful salads with sources of protein. He used to just eat a bowl of romaine lettuce. I put onions, peppers, hard boiled eggs, fish and/or lunch meat on the salads. I even cooked hot dogs then chopped them up and put them on top of a salad once.
I start work 3am 5 days a week. Can I catch up my sleep on my days off sleeping 12 or 14 hours does days? I sometimes try to do a 20 min power nap but after work I pick my baby from daycare and if she does not nap neither will I. I would love to go to sleep at 6pm every day but then it would affect my marriage because I will not see my wife. I workout to be healthy and have energy to play with my kids. I eat a good died most of the time. I realized days I eat bad is went previous day slep 3 or 4 hours. Started hearing your guys recently and enjoying every minute. I will Love to buy MAPS 15 can you guys have another promotion if I do not win.I need to save some more money before buying it. Thank you
Just started listening and following Maps Anabolic. Seen great progress hit PR deadlift and bench after finishing Phase 1. I just need to be more consistent on days off. Gym is at my work Maps 15 seems like it will be the solution.
Do you guys think you could go into more detail ome of these episodes into how you eat? We get little bits here and there of golden wisdom, but I would enjoy how you eat especially when cutting and bulking.
Adam, thanks for mentioning psoriasis. I am cursed with this as well. Also a blessing though because it keeps me away from booze and sugary + white flour foods (literally feel the itch right away w/ a few sips of alcohol). Out of all the dermatologists I've seen, none have mentioned diet - pretty sad. I had to figure that out on my own some years ago before it was all over the Internet. Recently, I stopped the medication Humira because it stopped working, and I kept getting sick as it works by suppressing the immune system. Now that I'm older (33), I'm noticing that I'm not tolerating spicy foods, lactose, and a few other things as well as I used to so I rarely indulge in those much. I'm starting to get some flare ups again lately so I was hoping for some general advice since you clearly know your shit: 1) Aside from the obvious mentioned above, what are some [sleeper] inflammatory foods that you stay away from? 2) What supplements would you recommend to assist healing the gut? I currently take digestive enzymes, but these do include pre nor probiotics. 3) Have you managed to contain your psoriasis completely naturally or do you use a medication (aside from topicals) to assist? The reason I ask is because I'd really like to know if there's hope that symptoms can be eliminated without these immunosuppressant medications. P.S. This is the best podcast I've ever accidentally stumbled upon - love the rate that you guys pump out content. Can't wait to try one of the MAPS programs... rock on gentlemen!
I ate the standard bodybuilding diet in the 90's going to a fitness nutritionist. Lots of chicken breast, tuna, egg whites, oatmeal, broccoli, sweet potatoes and white rice plus whey protein isolate. I had a bad reaction to that after a while. I got tested and I am allergic to almost everything but meat. I can eat a little low sugar fruit in the summer. I have been carnivore for 7 years and have never been healthier. I don't support big pharma or big food. I also have to be gluten and grain free. I cannot eat veggies either. If I have any fiber I have catastrophic effects happen
I noticed the other day, I don't really enjoy food. I don't know if it's orthorexia or if I've just gotten to a point where I like foods that I know help me look, feel, and perform better, but, I remember being a kid and just LOVING some foods, but now, my wife will ask me what I want for dinner, and, I just don't care, nothing really sounds great, but I enjoy my ground beef and white rice as much as anything else. Maybe I should tall to a dirt therapist or something but, I just don't have the enthusiasm for food that I see others have.
I completely changed my diet recently and starting tracking my food. I'm eating around 2000 calories per day and I'm constantly feeling bloated. I'm 165 pounds and losing weight slowly.
It’s crazy how individualized diets can be. My wife and I are from different parts of the same state but diets are drastically different. I’ve grown up on red meat and it does nothing to me, to her, it’s so much tougher to digest and eat on a regular basis.
I need a magical diet that works for four completely different people in one house. Instead of making 3-4 different ones each night. Thanks for a great show again guys.
We need a FOOTBALL episode!!!! Can you guys throw out some info on programming & periodization for pre season, in season, and post season. Come on Justin hook us up!!!!!
A dermatologist has no reason to claim diet does anything for skin because there’s no value in it for them. They can’t make money off that. However they can make money selling you a cream or a shot. My dermatologist always told me diet didn’t affect acne so she could sell me Accutane and retinoids. Yes those did help but diet is the number one factor. Especially sugar and dairy in my situation for acne
Don’t know how you guys do it. Whenever I am overthinking about something when it comes to my fitness, you have a new cast out that can give me the info I need to make those sustainable changes. Food has been my issue since I started and I struggle with it to this day, I’m not quitting though. There is a way for me to accomplish my goals and I’m going to keep working towards that and beyond. Thanks for the content, keep them coming!
The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination. So what happened along that process? You learned to love the journey. #journeyman
I have heard that protein is the most satiating micro nutrient for years, but I can eat and eat and eat and eat, thousands of calories of protein and I will still be hungry. I'd like to see them do an episode about why things like that happen.
The whole carb loading thing is hilarious to me now. Our football coach would send us to a place to eat pasta after school to be ready for our night game. We wouldn’t even think about adding meat or chicken. That’s so nuts!!🤦🏻♂️
I have this problem where I start a new meal plan or stick to particular meals for a couple weeks and they're working great, my digestion is good and energy is up BUT I get sick of eating these foods all the time and have to revert to something else. I tire of foods so quickly and just wonder how people stay consistent in their food choices without getting bored.
I typically have gluten free oatmeal and either mixed nut butter or sunflower seed butter at night as a snack. Is this the wrong kind of snack to have at night for sleep?
It is not a wrong kind of snack at all!Oatmeal has alot of melatonin. So it is one of the best snacks you can have before bed. Nut butters contain magnesium which helps your muscles relax. So that also benefits your sleep
I'm 155kg, I've been eating meat and eggs for almost 1 month and stopped drinking alcohol and have been lifting weights. I'm down 7kg but after every meal I feel like taking a nap, any advise on what I could add or take away to stop this from happening?
You guys should try to get Dr Anthony Chaffee on. You probably won’t agree with everything but I think you all just want to help people feel better so it would be cool
The best diet for me so far has been finding the anabolic high volume low calorie one. I love to eat and I love to eat a lot. Now I just got to figure out which foods are giving me the nuclear farts

You guys have redefined fitness and health for me in a whole new way. I'm learning to love my body and not try to change it because I hate it.
Hardest part for me is explaining my healthy choices to people who don’t have health as a focus
You guys are on a completely differently level. The topics, y’all’s ability to delve into said topics and speak to them from not just a head knowledge perspective, but also true lived experience. So solid ! Appreciate you guys !

Good morning mind pump. Pumped up for my morning walk with you guys.38
I changed my diet almost 2 years ago and lost 100 pounds. It’s amazing how our bodies feel when we don’t ignore them and maintain a balanced diet!
This might be one of the best one's yal have ever done.
Adam is so on target with the 5 guys thing.
What keeps me (most of the time) from making those late evening decisions
is knowing my nightly routines will go straight out the window,
then my morning/morning routines either get pushed back
and I'm behind all day, or they don't happen at all.
Then that influences me to make even shittier food decisions
for the next day, and it's this domino cascading effect
which sends my entire week off the f'n rails....
Food truly is data, and information.....
Dog shit data in, and complete dog shit data comes out.
Hooyah Mind Pump 🤘
Love this post.
I relate hard to this
Just staying away from processed foods has helped me the most. Lifting heavy 4 to 6 days a week helps with the aches and pains from work. Just turned 55 a few days ago and don't want to slow down.
Thanks so much for covering this topic. Eating for digestibility and sleep are especially important to me and the 2 areas where I struggle the most.

A ribeye a day keeps the doctor away
😂 If you can afford it.
Testicles and liver every day keeps the doctor away, says liver king anyway
@Broccoli Rob that’s a great point! I was spending a lot on ribeye when it was available, but I would also get a much cheaper london broil and smoke it just the same. Far less fat and more meat for less money. Amen brother.

I appreciate the functional, practical approach you guys take in every health and fitness category.
Thank you guys for all the educational information you give!! 😊

Right in time. I was just in search for a proper diet for me. This is god sent.
I love listening to you guys while driving anywhere I get to learn and hear the discussions and I love it ❤ thanks for sharing this. Also downloaded the podcast :) but I prefer to see you 😊
You guys are always on point. 💪🏽 I’ve learned so much from you guys and I always look forward to new episodes.
Mind Pump Time! WootWoot!
Love them Doug intros!!
You guys always rock!
Thank you!!
Eating non processed natural foods is always a good way to go.
Keep it up mindpump. Thanks for for another informative episode!
Man I would love to get this new program, will help me so much to keep consistent because I fight Jiu jitsu and always had a problem to fit a strength training with it
It’s my birthday today 🎉 and I’m gifting myself MAPS anabolic 😃 an extra gift would make it the best birthday ever 😏
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up.
Keen for this episode, definitely could not agree more with the opening statements and factors into what’s the best diet for the individual 🙏🏼✨
Doug dropping the "BOOM" very nicely done!! Haha 🤘💪 BOOM episodes just hit different.

I'm not a strict carnivore but now my diet is about 60-80% protein. A year and a half into this and I feel better than I felt at 24-28. Im now 29. I'm making better gains at the gym and living a more fit life. I'm full of energy. People think I'm younger than I actually am.
I love the food I make. Its delicious; i dont need cheat days. In fact, cheat type of meals just make me feel worse. They taste like shit. I love cooking at home with no seed oils; my own salt with local food.
I absolutely love you guys’ podcast. I could listen to you guys talk for hours - you break everything down so well and both tell listeners the hard truth yet don’t every imply any diet or lifestyle or type of person is “bad.” I have such respect for you all
Needed this. I tried so hard to follow the best muscle building diet but drove me in a to an extreme inflammatory bowel disease flare and hospitalization that set me back years of health and muscle I worked so hard for. Now I know the macros that matter is what my digestive system can handle. Frustrating place but had to surrender
Another great video that we should all be more mindful of what we put it our body
I’ve been enjoying all of your content so much! I was actually listening to an earlier episode just before and Sal asked something along the lines of a song what song gets the others pumped up, Justin said Bulls On Parade (great song) and Adam responded with Vicarious by Tool and I literally said out loud to myself “I see your Vicarious and raise you Parabola” and couldn’t help but laugh 😂 thanks for all the laughs lads, can’t wait to be able to apply so as much of the information you’re sharing as I can to not only my life but the lives of those around me 🥰
You guys have definitely become a mainstay in my TH-cam fitness world. Mentioned your show in the gym recently and was cool to put a few people on to your show AND learn that few fellow gym goers are already steady listeners as well. I've been sorta stuck in my current routine and am reallllly curious about the new 15 minute program. Going from around an hour or so a session to that would interesting ...and weird.
Here comes the show !
Great discussion; diet has been my biggest challenge during my weight loss
I’m still in that cycle of finding that right diet, when I was in college IIFYM was perfect but now after straight binging all of Quarantine I created some bad habits that I’m still trying to undue. Right now just focusing on a “meat and fruit diet” but slowly adding back in gluten free carb sources. But definitely learned from this to listen to my body
I’ve got one more week of Anabolic and then I will be moving on to Performance. I have reverse dieted while going through the program so I’m anxious to do a cut and see how my body changes. I’ve definitely gotten stronger but my clothes are getting a little tight. I’m following y’all’s advice and “trusting the process.”
Oddly enough I listen to mind pump in the shower, and fun fact! This is one of the few podcasts I’m able to hear very clearly while I wash my dirty body. Shout out to the sound team
24:35 mine is jasmine rice and taco seasoned lean ground beef w hot sauce 👌🏼🤤 another weird prep one though was grilled chicken/ground Turkey and a toasted plain bagel w ketchup 😅
Thank you so much for this breakdown! So many make balance look like chicken breast and fish entrees for 70% of meals and it's so unappetizing to me (not to mention, it doesn't keep me full very long). It's nice to see how balance can be highly individualized and flexible as a person ages.
I'm pretty fortunate with my relationship with food. I don't eat to medicate and I typically eat to satiate. Foods don't usually negatively affect me all that much, too. I do tend to crave sweets, though, and love to eat junk food. I'm good at moderating how much I eat, but if I wanted, I could easily eat an entire bag of chips or chocolate.
The Best advice is the Best advice to You! Jajaja love You all guys..keep teaching me to be the Best versión of Myself.
emotional connection with food is probably the most important for me. But it’s not the emotional from what I ate as a child but the foods I eat as I train and my results. Very good point. I do, however, crash after eating oatmeal. I have to add some almonds and then I’m good. But, I must count them 🙃 🤓 cuz I can do WAY too many of them at one time. Thanks for this info. Great way to inform us 😎
First?
Keto works for most people because it eliminates processed crap. I'll bet it's become less effective with the rise in processed keto food for those that get the processed keto food. I am gluten free and I get issues when I have too much processed food.
Still editing: I always try to rotate proteins, veggies, colors of fruits and veggies. I just got married with a short courtship. One of the things I've been talking to my husband about is getting these varieties in our diets. It's new for him that I feed him colorful salads with sources of protein. He used to just eat a bowl of romaine lettuce. I put onions, peppers, hard boiled eggs, fish and/or lunch meat on the salads. I even cooked hot dogs then chopped them up and put them on top of a salad once.
I start work 3am 5 days a week. Can I catch up my sleep on my days off sleeping 12 or 14 hours does days? I sometimes try to do a 20 min power nap but after work I pick my baby from daycare and if she does not nap neither will I. I would love to go to sleep at 6pm every day but then it would affect my marriage because I will not see my wife.
I workout to be healthy and have energy to play with my kids. I eat a good died most of the time. I realized days I eat bad is went previous day slep 3 or 4 hours.
Started hearing your guys recently and enjoying every minute. I will Love to buy MAPS 15 can you guys have another promotion if I do not win.I need to save some more money before buying it. Thank you
My dudes, I'm about to finish a 3x a week full body program. I'm ready to expriment with MAPS 15. Make it happen!!
I'd be doing the advanced variation 😉
Just started listening and following Maps Anabolic. Seen great progress hit PR deadlift and bench after finishing Phase 1. I just need to be more consistent on days off. Gym is at my work Maps 15 seems like it will be the solution.
Do you guys think you could go into more detail ome of these episodes into how you eat? We get little bits here and there of golden wisdom, but I would enjoy how you eat especially when cutting and bulking.
You guys inspire me to create my own channel. Been thinking about it for a couple of years 😅. Love your synergy and content. Keep it up 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Adam, thanks for mentioning psoriasis. I am cursed with this as well. Also a blessing though because it keeps me away from booze and sugary + white flour foods (literally feel the itch right away w/ a few sips of alcohol). Out of all the dermatologists I've seen, none have mentioned diet - pretty sad. I had to figure that out on my own some years ago before it was all over the Internet.
Recently, I stopped the medication Humira because it stopped working, and I kept getting sick as it works by suppressing the immune system. Now that I'm older (33), I'm noticing that I'm not tolerating spicy foods, lactose, and a few other things as well as I used to so I rarely indulge in those much.
I'm starting to get some flare ups again lately so I was hoping for some general advice since you clearly know your shit:
1) Aside from the obvious mentioned above, what are some [sleeper] inflammatory foods that you stay away from?
2) What supplements would you recommend to assist healing the gut? I currently take digestive enzymes, but these do include pre nor probiotics.
3) Have you managed to contain your psoriasis completely naturally or do you use a medication (aside from topicals) to assist? The reason I ask is because I'd really like to know if there's hope that symptoms can be eliminated without these immunosuppressant medications.
P.S. This is the best podcast I've ever accidentally stumbled upon - love the rate that you guys pump out content. Can't wait to try one of the MAPS programs... rock on gentlemen!
Yeeea same here, i dont think i have celiac but oatmeal makes me feel tired at work and i work with machines.
First 1 min and totally agreed already, this topic is so interesting.
I ate the standard bodybuilding diet in the 90's going to a fitness nutritionist. Lots of chicken breast, tuna, egg whites, oatmeal, broccoli, sweet potatoes and white rice plus whey protein isolate. I had a bad reaction to that after a while. I got tested and I am allergic to almost everything but meat. I can eat a little low sugar fruit in the summer. I have been carnivore for 7 years and have never been healthier. I don't support big pharma or big food. I also have to be gluten and grain free. I cannot eat veggies either. If I have any fiber I have catastrophic effects happen
KEEP IT PUMPIN!! GO PHILLIES!!
I noticed the other day, I don't really enjoy food. I don't know if it's orthorexia or if I've just gotten to a point where I like foods that I know help me look, feel, and perform better, but, I remember being a kid and just LOVING some foods, but now, my wife will ask me what I want for dinner, and, I just don't care, nothing really sounds great, but I enjoy my ground beef and white rice as much as anything else. Maybe I should tall to a dirt therapist or something but, I just don't have the enthusiasm for food that I see others have.
Oh yes. Digestion is my biggest problem. Bloating after most meals with a lot of veggies I need to figure out which veggies are my triggers.
Check out Stan Efferding’s the Vertical Diet. It’s all about digestion. Good Luck
I completely changed my diet recently and starting tracking my food. I'm eating around 2000 calories per day and I'm constantly feeling bloated. I'm 165 pounds and losing weight slowly.
I'm wondering if I'm overeating with 2000 calories since I'm feeling bloated.
It’s crazy how individualized diets can be. My wife and I are from different parts of the same state but diets are drastically different. I’ve grown up on red meat and it does nothing to me, to her, it’s so much tougher to digest and eat on a regular basis.
do you guys offer 1 on 1 coaching if so where can i find your information
Wow really good podcast, thank you
Important one.
Can I get maps anabolic please?
I wish
I need a magical diet that works for four completely different people in one house. Instead of making 3-4 different ones each night. Thanks for a great show again guys.
We need a FOOTBALL episode!!!! Can you guys throw out some info on programming & periodization for pre season, in season, and post season. Come on Justin hook us up!!!!!
A dermatologist has no reason to claim diet does anything for skin because there’s no value in it for them. They can’t make money off that. However they can make money selling you a cream or a shot. My dermatologist always told me diet didn’t affect acne so she could sell me Accutane and retinoids. Yes those did help but diet is the number one factor. Especially sugar and dairy in my situation for acne
Don’t know how you guys do it. Whenever I am overthinking about something when it comes to my fitness, you have a new cast out that can give me the info I need to make those sustainable changes. Food has been my issue since I started and I struggle with it to this day, I’m not quitting though. There is a way for me to accomplish my goals and I’m going to keep working towards that and beyond. Thanks for the content, keep them coming!
The man who loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination. So what happened along that process? You learned to love the journey.

to ramp up calories on a keto diet, drink heavy cream. it's delicious. or get grass fed fresh cream from a farm if you want the healthier version
Goodness yes. Awesome for homemade alfredo sauce
Mind pump 🔑
I have heard that protein is the most satiating micro nutrient for years, but I can eat and eat and eat and eat, thousands of calories of protein and I will still be hungry. I'd like to see them do an episode about why things like that happen.
I eat pasta 4-5 times a week always as my last meal I get pretty good sleep every night
The whole carb loading thing is hilarious to me now. Our football coach would send us to a place to eat pasta after school to be ready for our night game. We wouldn’t even think about adding meat or chicken. That’s so nuts!!🤦🏻♂️
I have this problem where I start a new meal plan or stick to particular meals for a couple weeks and they're working great, my digestion is good and energy is up BUT I get sick of eating these foods all the time and have to revert to something else. I tire of foods so quickly and just wonder how people stay consistent in their food choices without getting bored.
All in the prep and seasonings/sauces. I cannot eat bland and dry tasteless food. Do not care how healthy it is supposed to be.
could their be an episode on small or neglected muscles in the body
Paleo is not necessarily low carb. You can eat starchy vegetables and fruits on a Paleo diet.
Any tips to get better/more sleep?
Check out this episode!

Goooodd daaammm I just love these fucking guys! I might be too late for this giveaway!
Can protein also cause fatigue? I sometimes feel super tired after a protein shake or a couple of eggs.
In Mexico we can make tacos out of everything, cow brain, tongue, organs.
It's like our sandwiches....
My diet: mind pump, steak, the blood of my enemies.
I typically have gluten free oatmeal and either mixed nut butter or sunflower seed butter at night as a snack. Is this the wrong kind of snack to have at night for sleep?
It is not a wrong kind of snack at all!Oatmeal has alot of melatonin. So it is one of the best snacks you can have before bed. Nut butters contain magnesium which helps your muscles relax. So that also benefits your sleep
@@serkanoosterbaan1628 thank you!
You will fart a lot
Which is better= Hemp oil or Olive oil?
I'm 155kg, I've been eating meat and eggs for almost 1 month and stopped drinking alcohol and have been lifting weights. I'm down 7kg but after every meal I feel like taking a nap, any advise on what I could add or take away to stop this from happening?
Eat less per meal and spread it out more. Eating too much volume of food will make you tired regardless of the kind of foods
@@Eazyflea26 cheers mate thanks for the help. I have really only been eating 2 meals a day, I feel dumb now that makes a lot of sense.
@@fuckyoutube354 no problem buddy keep up the good work
Thanks for pushing me to find out why I always have gas at night
Whole. Real. Food. Cooked at home.
I can not stand eggs. I’ve been perfecting my Omelettes this week to get them to a point I can tolerate them.
You guys should try to get Dr Anthony Chaffee on. You probably won’t agree with everything but I think you all just want to help people feel better so it would be cool
Gasp! I've never been this early in the comments!
The best diet for me so far has been finding the anabolic high volume low calorie one. I love to eat and I love to eat a lot. Now I just got to figure out which foods are giving me the nuclear farts
