Harvard professor: Why building muscle is so hard | Daniel Lieberman

[@noobworth]

"sitting" in a resting squat is not the same as slouching at a desk or lounging on a couch

[@jukerdanz]

I find the host very patronising, we don’t need to have everything Dr Lieberman says translated into child speak.

[@dave3gan]

Read his book "Exercised" . It's really good 👍

[@lisabarnes6351]

I think that the host overestimates how much ‘translating’ and ‘summing up’ he needs to do for us. It actually detracts from the content and spoils the flow of the chat. Just my opinion.

[@rcmag13]

Yes, I like the channel but I see them do this a lot. Dumbing things down or oversimplifying things rather than just explaining it and letting people think about what they are saying.

[@macsmiffy2197]

I think his background might be teaching…’say what you’re going to say, say it and then say what you’ve said’. We were taught in training that you had to say everything 3 times for information to stick. 🤣

[@joygray131]

Couldn’t agree more. Simply detracts.

[@ericawalker8605]

Totally agree. It can be helpful when the speaker is using language that the average listener may not know, or when something is being discussed is not widely known. In this case it is rather interruptive and distracting. It must be a little frustrating for the speaker as well to be interrupted for clarification so frequently.

[@auntieem-kn1vn]

As a visual and kinesthetic learner I appreciate the 'translating' and summing up'. I need a bit of repetition to absorb information well when it's delivered orally.

[@woofinu]

The recommendation I used to hear was that any movement was better than none, but light activity was OK, and there was no big advantage to pushing ourselves. Now I hear that there is definitely a benefit of harder activities, when the heart rate is pushed into a certain zone. Which is true? (for overall health, not only weight loss)

Finally... common sense enters the room

[@macsmiffy2197]

Now grandmas are doing the childcare. Only a man could imply looking after children isn’t hard work. 🙄

[@jonathonpotts5666]

I feel doing leg squats has shored up my dodgy hip. I wouldn't like losing muscle in that department.

[@teresapacheco63]

Stop interrupting and repeating what has just been said - so annoying! We're not stupid, we got it the first time :)

[@stevelanghorn1407]

I realise you chaps at ZOE emigrated from Blighty to the States long since, but it would be jolly nice if you could occasionally interview a British expert. How about Dr David Unwin? He and his brilliant Public Health Collaboration is doing excellent, practical work to actually reverse Type 2 diabetes and all its co-morbidities.

[@macsmiffy2197]

I thought Zoe was originally a partnership between UCL, Stamford University and another university in Sweden, yet we hear nothing from Sweden at all now. I wonder if they’ve moved on from research being the primary driver, to selling yet another diet. Money always seems to get in the way, one way or another.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

@@macsmiffy2197 Good point! Why not experts from Sweden or Europe more often? They seem to have morphed into a "club" promoting primarily a vegetarian diet...and influenced by their collaborations / friendships with prominent plant-based nutrition specialists (eg Prof Chris Gardner / Dr Will Bulsiewicz etc). Not to say plants & funghi aren't very valuable for human health, but there seems to be a lack of balance / perspective and possibly an intentional anti-meat stance. Also they must be making plenty of money via their testing kits / CGMs etc!

[@lizjka8281]

So, stand up every commercial break?

[@tageulefeinberg2539]

the host needs to stop talking.

[@fruz1378]

Jonathan, you look a bit skinny for somebody who has been following nutritional advices from nutrition professionals, no ? Anyway, there is quite a bit here that was quite obvious, but it's still overall interesting, thank you !

[@emilybeckett1753]

I don’t want to hear the host so much…

[@larsnystrom6698]

He seems smart for a Harward professor!

[@fenackerpan]

Good interviewing...

[@rappermusician]

mind blown

[@Health-And-Diabetes]

The hunter gatheres probably had life expectancy of about 30 years. I already lived twice that with this life style.

[@fabianyee]

The difference them was that there was no medical treatment from injuries and infection, also death from being killed by wild animals. They die younger not not because they are unhealthy.

[@codecaine]

👏👏👏

Too many ads

[@adjusted-bunny]

Why not smoking? What's so bad about it?

[@rexalexander4843]

"smoking" turns lungs into ham.
