Dietitians Are Buying “Body Positive” Influence 

The political spectrum page was hilarious, S tier post overall

Good post man

I just subbed to your channel as I like your style! Thanks, Zack, for sharing.

@@BasementBodybuilding thanks dude!

Oatmeal is useful for endurance athletes peri-workout, but yeah, it's way oversold/overhyped as a "healthy food" to ignorant normies

Facts.

He is just answering the southern call.

No there isn't as much paid researchon both sides. Now that doesn't mean that cattle ranchers are any more altruistic, but they just don't have as much money to throw around. Beef is fairly expensive both to produce and sell, so the profit margins are fairly limited compared to wiggle room you have to turn extremely cheap ingredients like corn and seed oils into a processed food and sell it for a huge markup and still have it be cheap for the consumer. So they can, and need to throw money around in ways the meat industry just can't. And no one said anything about cutting out carbs.

Gee, if only there was a branch of science that was dedicated to understanding how the human body works, including how it reacts to different nutrients, that we could use to know how to diet 🤔

Exactly. Many people miss the nuance in this. Protein isn't necessarily more satiating, especially not per calorie if getting it from a fatty cut of meat

idk bro -- it's not like there are a lot of fat guys who routinely eat red meat *blank stare*

@@KostendtO not sure if sarcastic but I've seen tons of overweight dads regularly order steaks. Protein only satiates to a point. It's very easy to get a high protein diet and still guzzle down 1000 calories worth of butter and added sugar

@@joeberger3441 Totally. I saw this a lot during the Paleo craze. People were told to eat meat, nuts, fruits and veggies. The ones who ate a decent amount of lean protein and lots of fruit/veg would improve body comp. But plenty of people can and did beef/bacon/almond butter their way into a hearty surplus.

i think this is more about the dogmatic demonization of food, less about exactly what works for whoever

Same here, brah. Salute.

Thanks dude!

Wow, I like both of your content because you two bring very thoughtful and unique discussion points to your respective passions. Pretty cool to see a connection between two of my favorite creators/interests

Sugar isn't the enemy either

Sugar still isn’t the enemy though😂

@@mac5917 Although it may not be "the enemy," it is still an enemy

The only “enemy” is overconsumption. That’s about it.

Provided it's just tender enough but not overcooked, it's really nice.

That’s the way I feel it’s best. It’s so tough that you can mix it with hot ingredients or cook it a little bit and it’s still hardy and goes great with the rice, beef and other veggies.

Dear god man, one comment and I'm sold. And hungry

massaged kale makes a great, filling salad. the hippy girls know their shit when it comes to kale.

@@dogcatdogable Massaged?

Nothing in particular. Moreso that it's often pushed on people who don't particularly like it compared to more "appetizing" options, so there's often an adherence issue. If you like oatmeal then by all means eat it. Most people are likelier to stick to a diet high in things like eggs and ground beef than one high in, say chicken breast or oatmeal. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, just that it's stereotypically one of those "healthy" options pushed on people who dont like it and thus are less likely to stick with it, when tastier (in majority opinion) alternatives exist

I only like it with a shit load of sugar. That's why I don't have it.

Thanks for the explanation you 2!

@@inowatchvideos Enjoy your oatmeal!

Nothing is wrong with oatmeal, and that is why some RD's don't prescribe foods as good or bad. Analyze your own goals and tastes, maybe oatmeal can fit in there. I love oats with nuts and fruit and chia and whole milk.

The same people who "eat it up" 🤣

Multi billion dollar food corporations.

I lost 100lbs eating a variety of stuff but mostly 97% lean beef, chicken and egg white (with some egg yolk, but only 10-20% of the total egg mixture) And then just getting as many steps per day as I could. Then got into cycling. The other key apart from diet, is finding physical activity you enjoy. It cannot be a chore, needs to be fun.

Also, congrats on that milestone! Not many of us have done it. To be fair, id rather not have gained so much weight but I was dumb for a long time.

@@Real28 Congrats to you as well. I ate more than just watermelon of course (lean meats, eggs, tofu, tempeh, fish, oats, fruits, veggies, potatoes, etc), but it was the main thing I leaned on to feel full and satisfy my sweet tooth.

The is no large body of research that says that quad extension are more hypertrophic than squats. And you can even have a thought experiment, take a beginner and make them do only back squats for quads for a year and other one who does only leg extension for quads for a year. Who do you think will have bigger/better/stronger quads?

@@movestattoo4561 this is more applicable to people five years trained. Beginners should definitely stick to the big three.

@@movestattoo4561 if you squat for max weight, then the knee extension will be more hypertrophic. If you use extreme full range of motion, moderate weight, while keeping your chest upright, then perhaps the squat group could get more hypertrophy.

@@austinmartin8550 you’re just wrong. You cannot build big quads with leg extensions. You don’t think people would do that and not squat? They would but no one does because it’s not real.

Have you tried actually reading the essay? That might be a good way to figure out what it's about...

@@atlaspowershrugged You're the one who knows more than others according to your post. Should be able to tell people about that instead of getting a book to do it for you. You can't complain about people thinking you're saying mental illness isn't a thing when you recommend a book that argues against the idea of 'mental illness' as a concept. Hardly a book that champions nuance. I guess all schizophrenics should just say that they're not longer schizophrenics and that people with depression should just stop being sad. Problem solved. I mean, there's no such thing as a disease of the mind after all. It's also not an essay. It's over 300 pages long depending on the edition and if you include the appendix it's over 400 pages long. You have...read the book, right? Cos I've got it in front of me and can quote it and can confirm that he does actually believe that mental illness isn't real and that it's no different to astrology. It even has a summary at the very end of the book that outlines his arguments. You can rightly criticise the overprescribing of medication and people self diagonising themselves, but to say that mental illness is a myth is the biggest reach I've ever seen. However all that said, I never even claimed you thought that which is why I said 'I hope he isn't' and 'if so'. Despite bashing libertarians in your post, you certainly seem fine to recommend a book, even if you only read the intro and the conclusion and the summary, that is quite libertarian in its approach. edited to add more

@@atlaspowershrugged "It is customary to define psychiatry as a medical specialty concerned with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illnesses. This is a worthless and misleading definition. Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social, and ethical problems in living. I have argued that, today, the notion of a person “having a mental illness” is scientifically crippling. It provides professional assent to a popular rationalization-namely, that problems in living experienced and expressed in terms of so-called psychiatric symptoms are basically similar to bodily diseases. Moreover, the concept of mental illness also under- mines the principle of personal responsibility, the ground on which all free political institutions rest. For the individual, the notion of mental illness precludes an inquiring attitude toward his conflicts which his “symptoms” at once conceal and reveal. For a society, it precludes regarding individuals as responsible persons and invites, instead, treating them as irresponsible patients." Pretty clear from the conclusion that the author doesn't view mental illness as a thing. You agree with that? Have you....read the book or even just read the author's conclusion? "But let us suppose that there is no such thing as mental health or mental illness, that these terms refer to nothing more substantial or real than did the astrological notions of the influence of planetary positions on personal conduct. What then?" The guy compares mental health to astrology.

@@atlaspowershrugged "It is customary to define psychiatry as a medical specialty concerned with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illnesses. This is a worth- less and misleading definition. Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social, and ethical problems in living." I say it again. I hope you yourself, despite recommending a book called 'The myth of mental illness', are not saying that mental health/illness is a myth. The guy compares mental health to astrology. You can say that people get overprescribed medication and that people self diagonise too much, but to suggest that mental illness is a myth is as absurd as someone saying they're a fat positive dietician. If you haven't, I urge you to actually go down to a psych ward and actually talk to someone with a mental illness who has had to be put on a psych ward for their own and their family's safety. I'm sure they'd object to their experience being reduced to a 'myth'.

@@ottz2506in the time it took you to write all that you could have actually read the book

It’s a good way to shorten your life 30 years 😂

No. Oats are fine.

No food is good or bad. What are your goals? That should be the question. Oats fill me up, I pair them with whole milk, nuts sugar, fruits, and chia. Usually folks make no adjustments to their childhood oat recipe and just add too much sugar. It's fine within reason.

one more thing to add, I REALLY loved your take on the back squat. I had a conversation with a dude the other day, he's younger than me (i'm only 24) and he was adamantly telling me how he wishes he could do some of the barbell lifts I do but he can't because his body isn't built for it, especially squats. But looking at him, he had good proportions, nothing out of the ordinary like ridiculously long legs or something. So I told him I'm almost certain you could do it if you took the time to practice but he just didn't want to listen, and he probably felt the same about me "not listening" but of course I asked him if any good squatters have showed him before and he said no. at that point i told him I'd show him some tips but he was adamant about him not having the body type to squat and how he can't go past 90 degrees. Just like you said. It's ignorance, many people might get under the bar one time with no supervision/help. attempt it, and realize how awkward it feels and they think that's incorrect and they can't do it. in reality we all know that it takes time just to get used to it before you can even push even mildly difficult weights and many untrained people are just so immobile that squats might feel like a damn yoga stretching session even with no weight haha. I'm yapping but oh well. I think a big part of it is this, everyone here on the channel knows that barbell lifts require a different drive and effort thna machines in a lot of cases. most barbell lifts require more muscle activation and WAY more technique than machines. It was totally possible for someone that has never even watched sports or done anything athletic, to walk into a gym and sit on a leg extension machine, and do very well and get a good quad workout. It is not like this with barbell lifts. barbell lifts take time just to understand and learn, so when people get under the bar for the first time with nobody to help or guide them. they do their first squat halfway down, realizes how uncomfortable it is, and they think "damn this exercise sucks, leg extensions are easier and I feel it more"

That was one of my best essays! I would tell you what living legend told me that was one of his favorites the other day, but he values his privacy.

@@atlaspowershruggedI don’t really care, bc with people like you, no one is truly an expert. Top powerlifters, definitely not experts. RDs, surely not. You must really hate Layne Norton since he has both world titles and a PhD with the evidentiary knowledge to back it up. You use appeals to nuance while at the same time not being able to actually get into the nuance bc how conveniently, you also have a problem with sport science studies.

Always has been. The bullshit you can easily see through today will be "irrefutably proven" 50 years from now. And this is the same with the "long proven science" you see today

Take a read hard look at your username and wake the fuck up. You are not 16 anymore

Are the "sane rational people" in the room with us? We are trying to conduct a survey on people who lack critical thinking skills and stopped mentally maturing in middleschool.

TYR makes wide toe box shoes, they feel very free

@@K4R3NI really want those, but can’t afford them so I just started squatting barefoot and that’s one of the best changes I’ve made to my squat. Feel the quads and core more and feel alot more in controll.

@@dennisnordlund902 I bought the TYR zero drop an while they do as advertised the price is hard to justify. I feel like I paid for a lot of marketing.
