The reason I keep listening to Mark is because I find that he speaks with common sense and respect for other opinions. There is always something to learn
First off what’s Marks age 46…….income I’m sure 6 figures?……where does he live CA. ? Whats he drive ? Married ? Kids ? How many ? 9-5 job-he has no “job”……..Education….degrees does in matter NO ? parents/genes does it matter Yes parents age/job--Marks military/medical history drugs medication-here the rub……jabs from childhood and the big one flu-C O V jab-so most likely Mark is a outlier and not many are living this type of life style……maybe 1% of his listeners. Terms like the normal day of eating RU-vidrs life-“work” making posts-my dieting yada yada---ALL IN ALL what percent of the US adult population is following this very few.. my last point my relatives 40 (Great) aunts/ uncles ( Great) grandparents and my parent……Wife’s family small…. all lived to be 80-102 years of age with the exception of say 5 of them and guess what they did none of the above (intentionally) and here I go again-none with the exception of oral polio got ANY jabs-jabs by injection-bypas the first line of defense iin our immune system -[[the innate immunity]]… look it up…I’m 66 my 2cents Grace2u…..all
I have to say I am not the happiest that I wasted money on a Nutrition degree. I need the piece of paper that says I can practice, but I do NOT follow big sugar, big pharma , or big anything. It's stupid
Finally someone who’s honest and straight to the point! Wish I would’ve came across this video years ago! I’m 51 use to be in great shape years ago, just stared TRT PRESCRIBED by my doctor and pretty much just like Mark but I’m 275 and want to lose 65 pounds! Felt and looked great at 210 lbs! 👍🏻🇨🇦
Best information you can get. I’ve been following Kyle Newell for a month or so now and implementing these things and I’ve been losing weight effortlessly, my anxiety is much lower, and I feel great.
So glad you’re honest. A game changer for me. I cannot tell you how much I respect you for the honestly. For me you’re head and shoulders above everyone else.
Fasting once or twice per week may have some health benefits. However, fasting increases your stress hormones significantly, and fasting too often will crash your normal metabolic rate. This is made even worse if combined with intense exercise, which also significantly elevates your stress hormones. It's much wiser to eat a healthy balanced diet of mostly whole foods, don't let your calorie intake get out of control, workout intensely with appropriate volume for your recovery ability, and then rest long enough for a positive adaption to take place before hitting the gym again. Keep things simple and avoid diet and exercise extremes.
@@rgmann Fasting has a lot more than just "some health benefits"! While the effects of fasting can vary depending on the type and duration of fasting, some commonly recognized benefits include: 1. **Improved Metabolic Health**: Intermittent fasting (e.g., the 16/8 method) can improve insulin sensitivity, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. 2. **Weight Loss and Management**: Fasting can create a calorie deficit, which often leads to weight loss. Additionally, it can help with fat loss while preserving muscle mass. 3. **Enhanced Cellular Repair**: Fasting triggers autophagy, a process where cells remove damaged components and regenerate. This can contribute to improved cellular health and longevity. 4. **Heart Health**: Some studies suggest that fasting may improve heart health markers, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglycerides. 5. **Brain Health**: Fasting might have neuroprotective effects, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. It may also improve cognitive function and mental clarity. 6. **Reduced Inflammation**: Fasting can decrease markers of inflammation in the body, which is associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases. 7. **Longevity**: Animal studies have suggested that fasting can extend lifespan. While more research is needed in humans, the potential for increased longevity is an area of ongoing investigation. 8. **Digestive Health**: Fasting gives the digestive system a break, which may improve gut health and reduce symptoms of digestive disorders. 9. **Hormonal Balance**: Fasting influences various hormones, including increasing human growth hormone levels, which can aid in muscle preservation and fat metabolism. 10. **Mental Clarity and Focus**: Many people report improved mental clarity and focus during fasting periods, possibly due to stabilized blood sugar levels and increased production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). YOU DECIDE!
I throw everything out of my fridge. I get up and go to my local supermarket and grab a steak or package of wings whatever I am eating for the day. I also do these mini treats of cream cheese and jam (count the net carbs). When I am done and looking in fridge and all I have is mustard and low cal ketchup I cant be bothered to go out for food. Also, as I am pretty much carnivore nothing in my local bodega is carnivore approved so I am stuck drinking mustard out the bottle for pleasure and MUST wait till day time for markets to open again.
@@quix99 true but I'm also not a goat and if I were to go out and get milk, I'd buy goats milk. Regardless, it's still a whole food source that anyone and anything can consume that contains all 3 basic nutrients when Mark said there wasn't. Thanks for proving me right while getting the conversation nowhere 🙄
@quix99 so what? We aren't aliens but have been to space, aren't cheetahs but can travel quickly; we have overcome and harnessed our environment to benefit ourselves.
No animal drinks milk after it's mother weens it off from nursing. Does a 12 year old human drink milk from its mother after eating solid food? No. yet we drink another animals milk not even made for us
Fasted the whole of Feb 2023 (30 day water fast) easily the best thing I have done for my health followed by starting TRT at 40 years old (after confirming low range Test) What Mark is saying is - use phases of styles to fit your purpose
Fasting is a super power. I fast 36 hours twice a week. I eat extremely low carb during the work week with 40% of calories from protein. I do a full body HIT workout twice a week, dialing up the intensity to all out. On the weekends I do not fast and I eat more, if I do eat carbs, it will be on a weekend day and it will be something that I really enjoy.
Nutrition is easy, people make it so damn complicated. Eat alot of protein, always with fats cuz thats whats found in nature. Add the carbs when u earned them, and only eat when hungry. Not hard
@@sephblackyes it is. Just because an animal is lean doesn't mean there isn't fat. There's always fat with the protein. That's an absolutely accurate statement.
My friend did a 7 day fast and kept training everyday, Before he started he did a bodyscan of his muscle and bodyfat %, and after 7 days he went from 17% body fat to just under 11%, more important he didnt lose any muscle mass. I think because he still forced himself to weight train everyday.
The way you threw in that "I love steroids" remark out of nowhere made me chuckle! its only 20 seconds in and video starts out about diets and bad advice and BAM!
At the end of the day, everyone is different and whatever works for you might not work for others. So just do what’s best for you and what works for you
hence the obesity problem in the world. People don't know enough to self regulate and "figure out what works for them" so people need a blueprint to follow or try. I'd happily say that actual Fasting will work for everyone, you just cannot undo the law of thermal dynamics, if you don't get calories you will lose weight, end of story.
After adapting to the hunger and all that the only tough part about fasting is back pain. That is if you stand all day or do any physical labor. I notice my back muscles start really hurting after 24 hours. Granted I do have kyphosis but I have also been lifting 17 years, spent 12 years in the army infantry and worked plenty of jobs involving standing all day so my back strength and endurance should make up for the kyphosis.
I'm watching you on my blue light monitor at 2.38am after finishing a workout/shower and eating a bowl of pasta. 😅 By the time I finished with the kids and house chores, time got the best of me. Hard to prioritise, but its not always like this lol, your right smelly. Awesome content mate, Jesus Bless. ❤🙏
Just home from 7 weeks at cabin. 1 steak per day with butter. 12 hrs a day hard work. Felt skinny , but same weight as when I left 200. My zone prescription would be 16 plus blocks. On 4 just fat and low quality protein I didn't lose muscle apparently
Taking an electrolyte powder can really help. There are ones with zero calories and the non sweetened ones don’t raise insulin. Until then, buy pink Himalayan salt (walmart sells it), take a tiny scoop and occasionally wash down that scoop with a swig of water. This will especially help if you feel light headed from standing up quickly. You can buy zinc citrate tablets (they don’t need to be taken with food) but most people will not require them during a fast as we only deplete magnesium, potassium and sodium (a little bit of iodine) while fasting. Best cautious with the zinc as taking too much zinc can lead to other mineral deficiencies due to receptor competition. Might be wiser to forgo the zinc altogether during a fast. It’s up to you. Good luck.👍
I would just focus on getting your zinc etc during your eating windows. Prioritize foods with zinc in them naturally. I went from the 180s to the 120s in a year with fasting. It is the main diet tool that has helped me be successful in the long-term.
I'm a horrible sleeper but when fasting I sleep much better. It's a tangible difference. Funny enough hunger doesn't even seem to be an issue whatsoever. That's my experience anyway.
@8:37 Some pickles are pickled via fermentation you want to avoid vinegar :) That's the cheat way, just makes it taste pickled it's actually not pickled. Polish pickled cucumbers are amazing. Look like shit though but taste amazing.
Fasting, TRT, and either semaglutide/tirzepatide is the "Holy Grail" for an older man. Plus, in the summer I do an hour cardio, fasted. First thing in the morning. Then lift bout 2 hours later. Yes, I titrate my food. I feel if you're busting your ass, it won't hurt my "fast".
Loved the “nutrition research is bullshit” section of the video. But seriously, been in this space for a long time, not making content just consuming the content and what I have noticed over the years is how everyone just fights now over their perfect diet protocols and guess what’s happening to everyone else, they are still fat. Nutrition research is just confusing the masses.
Hey Mark great topic. How much muscle did you lose out of the 100 pounds that you lost? Just curious. I have lost 40 pounds and some of that has been muscle.
I've always done a 1.0g/lb of current weight and backfilled the 2k calories. Went to 0.8x ideal bodyweight and upped the carbs in relation. Feel, sleep, and train 100000000000% better.
I work retail and walk about 8-11 miles a day at work(still standing when not walking) and I'm the only fit guy there so i do all the heavy lifting, pulling heavy pallets etc. I consistently bulk and just do a 24-36 hour fast every week and it keeps me lean. Ive also started wearing a 2 pound weighted undershirt, ankle weights, descreet wrist weights, 2 weights attached to my belt and then I wear boots, that multiplies the calories burned walking 10 miles and then i drink a ton of coffee on my fasting days too. I dont notice any muscle loss and if anything I can bulk harder and eat more and eat dirtier doing this. It lets my digestive system recover and and burns fat. If I really want to cut more I'll just take 3 or 4 days and do 20 hour fast in a row then eat a lot of protein at night. I burn visibly noticeable amounts of fat in a couple days.
If you're a 200 pound guy who typically burns 2500-3000 calories in a normal day, having a very physically active day like this could bump that up to maybe 3500-4000 a day if not more. A pound of fat is estimated to be around 3500 calories. Theoretically you could burn almost a pound of fat a day. There's a million factors involved here but I can say for sure that it gives results because I eat really dirty all week and probably at least 6000 calories a day, lots of sugar and bad fats, then just do that 1 fast and it keeps me lean and I still build muscle
I'm pretty sure that the food pyramid and government food guidelines have been more detrimental to health than nutritional studies. Primarily because people know that the nutritional studies are biased and paid for by business, while they don't know that the food guidelines are to promote government subsidized products.
I lost 18 kgs / 39 lbs doing OMAD. Did not track continuously. Not doing OMAD atm. I try leave a minimum of 3 hours ideally 5 hours before bedtime - anything closer does me in.
Around 1.6 grams of protein per kg or about ~0.7 per lbs has been shown to maximize potential muscle growth. While it is not necessarily a bad thing 2 grams per pound is indeed overkill.
I do for a month program two diets at one’s, one diet is intermittent fasting 16:8 and another one is carnivore diet 2 meals a day, one is at about 13:00 o’clock in the afternoon and the other meal is about 20:00 on the evening and in the afternoon before my first meal I hit the gym on the empty stomach, do weights lifting as my background is bodybuilding or as you like to say fitness and for the last 20 years I gained 25kg over my 75 kg weight so from almost 100 kg I moved down to 83 kg so far, my aim is back to my 75kg again and I loose approximately between 500 grams a day to up 1 kg, that’s a good progress, I don’t feel lack of energy or power, still lifting quite a heavy weight, I am not hungry at all because eat meat like rib eye steaks, cheese, eggs, fish so plenty of protein and plenty of fat, my tummy decreased in size dramatically and I am very happy to start doing these two diets in one go, works well for me and I guess for most of us. After one month I will go for keto diet and then will include by bits some carbs like rice, potatoes to my meals.
One of the better anecdotes I heard for protein was 1g per pound of *lean body mass*. Fat doesn't need protein and all that matters is how much lean mass you have.
Why do I follow you?Your honesty regarding steroids and the fact that they make a difference regarding how nutrition affects a person on steroids vs someone who is truly natural. I could care less who uses steroids (yes trt is steroids as you said). I did them from 1984-1986 while doing competitive bodybuilding. But influencers who give advice on nutrition and training without being honest about their “supplements” is giving natties potentially bad information and false ideas regarding progress etc. I have been natty for the last 40 years and training and nutrition is completely different, regarding results, when natty vs on steroids including carb consumption etc. Much respect Mark.
I've done time restricted eating ever since I bought and read "The Warrior Diet" in 2012. It's a great tool to use. I don't know why it gets shit on. I would be worried about multiple day fasting as a natural lifter. It would be great to get some perspectives on naturals trying to lift heavy while carb depleted and no protein consumption for recovery. I hear too many folks talking about the subject that do TRT. I just don't see it being successful. In my personal experience doing low carb/keto, I always have to schedule my heavy lifting day around carb refeeds. Trying to lift while fasted, I have to limit volume and intensity (essentially form practice). You guys should get Lyle McDonald on if you are going to talk about PSMF. He would piss everybody off but at least provide some good info.
You don’t drink regular coffee because you get enough caffeine in your day??? Pre workout??? Yeah no decaffeinated coffee ☕️ for me. Coffee is my pre.. yes I was eating too late at night. Going to the gym takes me away from the kitchen for at least an hour. 😂❤ Lifting heavy is supposed to release my own natural steroids… hoping that is true. I started food journaling again. 😢
So much great common sense advice here Mark. Really enjoyed your podcast with Kyle Newell/Panda Man the other day. 48-72 hours fasts have been a true gamechanger. Appreciate all this great info you put out here. Been following along since around 2016 and this video hits on and summarizes so many great points from all your content.
I just started Online Nutrition Coaching and Mark just bombed it 😂 I definitely see what and why he’s saying F the science fr. There’s no way for an average person to navigate through all the bs. So maybe Mark does like the Nutrition Coaches just not the science.
Can you tell me what you think about raw animal? My taste buds, ol factory, sight and sound: my whole body finds it appealing, at best. At worst, benign. I really don’t understand why more carnivores aren’t talking about this. It’s a night and day experience. And therefore cooked bloats, fills me up in an unpleasant way. It seems denatured, bland (no sweetness) and greasy. After eating cooked I am more interested in alcohol and finding desserts to “complete the meal”. I find that information very telling, that it is a degenerate diet fad based on simulation-dopamine cycling. Thanks
Of course Mike went to school for a lot of these things but the fact that the textbooks are provided for by companies that invest in the hospitals the pharmacies the specialty centers Etc are the ones saying that seed oils aren't so bad which is why Dr Mike says that seed oils aren't so bad but linoleic acid is definitely bad and Mark is wise enough to have had so many guests on his podcast that we could learn things like that from people we don't follow otherwise
@@LatimusChadimus Indeed, and the irony, funny enough, is that I myself am a pharmacist, and after all my schooling, training and practice, I've come to one simple conclusion: you can either pay the farmer or the pharmacy. I chose the former.
I got bubbies this week, its not pasteurized but it is heated after sealing and im pretty sure all the little guys in it died. Theres no signs of it still being alive unfortunately. Gunna start to make my own sauerkraut
Still sounds too complicated. Why not just eat a whole food diet in a slight calorie deficit with sufficient protein and get to desired weight overtime. If feel like it, skip a meal here and there. Worrying about jumping from one diet to another and enduring long fasts sounds too complicated and not sustainable for an average person.
Keep Preaching the good word of fasting Mark! As a lifetime natural I'm having great results with multiday fasts, no noticeable muscle loss. Definitely the easiest way to stop being a Piggy Wiggy!
How are you going to lose more weight? You already freaking lean LOL. Good luck though and good video! I just started my own journey. I'm between 310 - 3:15 and want to lose about 100 lbs to get back to what I was in high school. I know it won't be easy but I can't wait to get to the end of it. Been wasting so much time with this garbage girl
