There’s no magic pill. Consistency is the key and the hardest thing to maintain.

I love DOA CEO, but some of these interviews do make me wonder, when exactly did we get to the point where we needed to over analyse everything so much?! Its almost as if people can't get by day to day and make the right life choices without a scientific study and a graph to tell them how to eat, sleep, move, and generally stay healthy. I am fascinated by science, but you have to appreciate that non of these experiments or studies were done on you personally, and we are all so genetically unique that if you take all these studies at face value you will never find what really works for you. We are never going to achieve perfection in any areas of our lives. We are much better off just trying to do things to the best of our abilities under the circumstances we find ourselves in at any given time. Find what works for you and not what you're told should work for you! There never will be a blueprint of how you should live your best life. Yes take advice and absorb information from health professionals, but its far more important to listen to your own body and make your own judgment calls accordingly. Just my opinion. 😊

Sitting too much limits our mobility, I can tell you from personal experience. I once had a job where I would sit at a desk 6 hours a day, and I got chronically tight hips and a tight lower back. I eventually quit that job and started moving more and major improvements

about the policemen example - I think when you start working out, you subconsciously eat healthier. Yes you might indulge every now and then, but its not an all out binge for days. This has always been the case with me. When I stop working out due to some reason, my diet gets worse, I lose any motivation to eat a healthy diet. Edit - Oh wow, I wrote this before I heard the rest of the conversation, they actually talk about this later :D

I'd never heard Lieberman before - what an interesting and engaging speaker! Great video.

The only time in my life I lost a substantial amount of weight was when I stopped drinking alcohol for 15 months and started running

I sleep more in the winter and less in the summer. I think that's natural. I've also found I lost 1-2 inches round waist thanks to short sprints. Like 14 minutes total of actual sprinting a week. Was quite interesting as I changed nothing else.

This RU-vid content at its BEST. Kudos to team DOAC ❤

The motivation for diet and training is also interdependent for me. I lose one - I lose the other.

When I avoid eating too much, too much caffeine and foods that I have sensitivities too, and I get enough exercise I wake up after about 6 1/2 hours naturally though I may take a 30 minute nap in the afternoon.

great video

Sitting is not new smoking. McDonalds is the new smoking. Coca Cola is new smoking. Sugar = smoking (actually sugar is worse)

First time here, liked your show very much.

Sleeping is important, but I wake up multiple times a night and don't dream, so my sleep quality is poor. Currently I try to change my stressful job to make my sleep better.

I believe the eight hour sleep came from the 40 hour work week, which was eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure and eight hours of sleep.

7hrs feels good to me.

I lost 20 kilo in 9 months. I eat less (but everything). Breakfast at 6.00 a.m. Dinner at 16:00. No soft drinks. Only water, coffee, tea, butter milk. Alcohol (beer/wine) only on my monthly cheat day. 4 times a week gym (1 hour cycling 30 min weight lifting each time).

You are on fire!!

I'm curious about Lieberman's view on the role of the hypothalamus and the arc in weight equilibrium, given that 95% of individuals regain weight following substantial weight loss.

Being healthy isn’t a privilege. It’s a choice . No one is putting a gun to our head and telling us to over eat . Exercise is free . Walking is free doing home work outs is free .

Irish farmers used to get up at 6 and work til 10 am then have a high protein breakfast and they were all built like Hercules

Micheal Phelps ate 13000 calories a day. Exercising in a cold environment speeds up the metabolism and energy usage.

so revolutionary , eat less exercise more.

Could there be an evidence based study on why a calm, wise, evidenced-based guest, Lieberman, gets less 'likes' on his interview than rather hysterical, over-blown -ego people on the same interview channel? What does this say about us viewers? Eeek.Liked listening to this.

I would say weight training guaranteed to help one lose fat. And to handle calories better. And to maintain life skills and positive outlook 😀

I recorded how many calories I burnt in a 100 mile ultramarathon. In total it was about 13,000 on exercise alone, and about 1,500 calories for every 2-3 hour training session. In total I lost about 4kg 😂😂

20 min of walking is also 20 min of not eating

Someone researched about steps. Benefits were gained with 7000 steps a day but no extra benefit for more steps.

Hard exercise is *effort* ... it takes actual effort and some degree of mental-toughness to do it, especially regularly. Once you've put in that effort, you have an *emotional-investment* in your physical well-being, and you're less willing to squander that emotional-investment on junk-food. You can think of this as a standard 20%-down on a home-mortgage -- from the bank's perspective, you are a less risky borrower when you do that, because you yourself have a vested interest in keeping and maintaining the property, and not become a dead-beat since you have put a substantial piece of your own resources into it.

3:01 ...they don't nape. I don't know where you have been, but my observation is, that everywhere, where people are more the kings of their time, they sleep when ever they want, even the children! I'm not talking of rich people.

NO TV, No Cells, live in the country and 65/Retired Army so use to 5hours of sleep. I get 7hours now and more than that I feel sluggish.

Eat in moderation - more of veg and less of saturated fat and sugar, but don't be too strict. Get lots exercise, sex, fresh air and decent amounts of sunshine. Enjoy stuff that's deep rather than shallow - challenge your brain! All this endless, fine-tuned interventions - that some studies contradict - are exhausting and stressful....

It is possible to loose weight with just exercise. I've done it. It just takes a LOT of exercise. I'm talking about 2.5 to 3 hours of intense exercise, a day. (Think being on the swim team (or track, I would assume)). The problem is keeping up that level of exercise all year.

Ive never had this issue

Sleep is regenerative. TONS is research to support this. It has numerous physical and psychological benefits, while too little sleep has many negatives. Sitting does not have such benefits.. False equivalence and I really hate how some people are elevated to the level of expert who simply aren’t

This is actually true. If you wanna lose weight keeping track of calories is fundamental.

Mr Bartlett, next guest you have on this podcast can you ask why is there so much conflicting advice and who do we believe? I am getting anxious just trying to think of what to do! Tim Spector says calories are pointless measurement, others say count calories, some say eat that is better for you but then others say that is bad!!! How the hell are we to believe any of this? No wonder people are losing faith in the scientists!

I make water fasting for 72hrs or more for weight loss and helps me alot while other all steps didn't work forme first

All this podcasts with experts only prove that we know nothing, because previous expert was wrong and it goes like this. THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS WITHIN

Eat less. Done.

👍

Personal experience and observation tells me that a combination of adopting a life style of increased personal activity (adulation and moderate strength exercises), together decreased calorie intake is effective in reducing weight and maintaining weight loss. Most overweight people I’ve met, are relatively inactive was well developed appetite. Too many twinkies and candies. They need to get a new interest, other than eating. If you’re bored, get off the couch, grab your jacket and walk round the block, not to the fridge!

I will not live without PIZZA. Is there a reason to live without it? I do add greens to it though… 😂😂😂

George Burns lived to be VERY old, with a lifetime of smoking cigars. When Johnny Carson asked how many cigars he had smoked that day George replied "27". Johnny, shocked, asked "What does your doctor think of you smoking so much?", George replied "My doctor died years ago".😂

The reason I can’t lose weight, is my wife just handed me a snickers.

funny how all these experts have books coming out

Best exercise for losing weight, pushing yourself away from the table !

At the end of day it’s calories it’s that simple

Understandable how important diet is for weight loss is key, but one thing I am curious about is when he saids people that exercise don’t lose as much fat or the ones that continue to exercise lost less. I’d like to see the study on that as working out creates muscle and muscle mass out weights body fat so is this the reason why the person continuing to work out is maybe losing less? But is getting better body mass and less body fat?

❤️💖❤️🙏💖❤️💖

cows sit ?

LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR. It will NOT LIE.

Agree with all comments. This guy doesn't actually seem very healthy or know/understand health. 🤔

Mr Lieberman is not entirely correct. Myopia cannot only cause a refractive error. High myopia can increase the risk of retinal detachments, AMD, glaucoma and the list goes on. So it is in everyone's interest not to have high myopia if they can mitigate that risk.

Steven said it best "I dont know what to believe anymore" too many conflicting reports/recommendations!

Steven please invite Rick Rubin to the show!

In the office...you can sit 7hrs str8...

why not just live sensibly .

Eat after 2pm and don’t eat after 7pm. Sounds extreme. It’s not. And do 100 slow, 6 count burpees p/d.

Stop eating breakfast and don't eat after 7 at night.

It's Tom Jones' long lost twin!

9:44 I was a fitness instructor for over a decade and one ever said diet OR exercise, what a load of sh*t. Exercise is 100% key, but it is not just about burn calories, it’s about discipline, mental health, overall health, lifestyle.

when sitting in a chair your hamstrings and hip flexors are in tight and shortened positions. its why even young kids are getting back pain. hunter gatheres dont sit in chairs so much they crouch down, even when they do sit they get up and move far more often. the more you sit without moving the more your body connective tissue tightens and heals you into that position. when sleeping/lying down you arent in a dysfunctional position, your body is relaxed. dude doesnt know shit lol honestly.

Lieberman's arguments are simplistic. I appreciate his work, but it is borderline superficial. A discussion between him and Dr. Robert H. Lustig would be great. For one, Dr. Lustig will dispel the calories in versus calories out belief based upon the fact that this theory does not account for fiber. Also, all calories are not created equally. In Dr. Lustig's words, "Feed your gut and protect your liver." The discussion on sleep is also skewed. Sleep is not so much about the quantity of sleep but about the quality of the sleep. I.e. deep sleep and REM sleep are vitally important for the brain and the body, so it's not simply about the amount but about the amount and the quality.

Calorie restriction. All diets and fasting have the same thing in common. It’s very simple and 100% foolproof. You’re not special.

Everybody is an expert o some kind of especial *opinion".

This guy needs to have a face off with that guy with the English accent that always talks about the importance of sleep 😂

He doesn't seem to know about high intensity (HIT) -- basically one set of heavy weights to failure per body part., about 10 exercises in total. 90 minutes a week is plenty to get good gains.

Getting up Way to seat Seat in the isle in the airplane

He looks like the leader guy from the Hale-Bopp comet! Oh yes!

I should be on this podcast…I know how to lose weight and keep it OFF! I’ve cracked the code. They should do a case study on the 1% who reverse obesity…like myself.

Come on, this is so easy! Cut out the booze, the snacks and sweet food; don't eat processed food; don't eat big piles of rice or pasta or potato. Don't eat late at night. No sugar. Do your own house work; fix your own garden; go for a few long walks every week. Surely, this is so simple 😊. However, self-discipline is the problem here. It's that simple.

I heard the people who are autistic or who have ADHD or other neurodiverse brains need more sleep. I wonder if that means they will not be as healthy because of that or if they are outliers who will be healthier if they sleep more.

He’s selling a book as usual. Good interaction but there are so many many different opinions. Kinda like coffee is good it’s bad it’s good….

I did like this video and left a thumb up for it. But if you think about it, nothing new was said. This guy although you can tell is knowledgable, only repeited what's been said for decades, and the informations he passed, i already knew.

so the key takeaway from this mans incredible thesis here is that exersizing combined with a diet helps u lose weight. What a genius

Sleep requirements also vary based on physical and mental work done. Hunter gatherers are not doing calculus either, my guy.

I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day, and with a good amount of healthy plant seed oils (I prefer olive). Other than that I eat nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without milk or sugar. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (like algae oil), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks 💟

the “markers of privilege” comment confused me. he says people who have money can afford to go to the gym and also afford to buy healthy food….so how do we explain the hunter/gatherer groups he has been studying? Arent we getting all our health comparisons from them?

Don't get a human body don't come back! Only the pure in heart shall enter the kingdom of God.

I have thought about this for years if we were monkeys we would be moving more and using different muscles we have become very lazy but rest is also important

Don't hunter gathers die earlier?

You look like Victor Wembanyama lol 😂

Eat less calories than you burn, it’s simple.

Im complete carnivore.

I mean.. biggest clickbait title?

This got to be the most dragged out topic of modern times. JUST EAT LESS. CALCULATE YOUR DAILY CALORIES AND REDUCE THEM JESUS

Varied and mostly or 100% plant-based diet, portion control, moderate exercise. Everything else is just noise.

I aim for 8 hours of sleep, and I end up at around 7-and-a-half. However, one thing that I'm good about is, once I'm awake, I get up. One thing that is important is that the brain is super delicate, so it's difficult to scrub and clean it. Instead, throughout the night, there are multiple "cleaning-cycles" where more cerebrospinal fluid comes into the brain space and gently rinses the brain. Less sleep equates to less cleaning cycles, and an accumulation of amyloid-beta proteins between the neurons. It's important to note that more sleep doesn't necessarily mean a cleaner brain.. but rather that there's likely a threshold that needs to be achieved. It may be an example of "more sleep isn't necessarily better, but insufficient may well be a serious problem."

ok so why cant you lose weight?

Walking 1 mile burns 50 kcal? He's smoking something.

Bro Science is way better than geek academia science 😂

why is he constantly referring to hunter gatherer, as if we live in an age of them. are the masaii more hunter gatherers today than the anasazi people in north america? the point is both of those diminishing societies are dependent on the white tourism and there is no lifestyle change between them. unless he means cattle ranchers in india and those in usa. the modern day cowboy today is probably a meat processing plant owner and has no semblance with a large rural farmer in india.

Docs need to stop making blanket statements about our health, get educated on nutrition and exercise and do individual study on each person .. that would be a help🤔

Consistently take in less calories than your basal metabolic rate. Pretty simple.

Burn your calories you consume that’s it, you don’t have to be a genius or a Doctor to do it

My muscles need more sleep 😂

I HATE the term Diet. Dieting is a roller coaster term people don't stick to it. I use FASTING as a weight lose method, I don't go hungry during fasting it's mental stability..

This guy literally will act like his conclusions are far from the general consensus. It's weird.
