"The stuff that works is not sexy, doesn't sell, and it seems insignificant. It is small habits done daily and over and over again." Layne is the embodiment of this. What a gangster.

[@qqq111444]

Truth. But if a shiny object cult dogma helps someone make significant improvements in their health then they should use the shiny object as a crutch while it works for them

[@makaisenki]

​@@qqq111444I kind of disagree because to me a ketogenic diet when you look at, All of the mental health conditions all the metabolic conditions all of the 430 studies that are currently being done and how most of the studies done on a ketogenic diet for the past hundred years were over 50 g, And then you think about how humans drove the wooly mammoth extinct during the Ice age, as well as compare human fossils before and after the agricultural revolution... It's pretty clear to me that we are hunters and gatherers that sometimes also forage, And that the problem society is facing is that we evolved in a world with four seasons, and create a new world where you only experience summer and fall. Winter where everything is dying out or dead and mostly all you have available is meat, and spring where everything is starting up and rebooting and there's very little available, those are gone. Now you have access to all the honey all the fruits all the vegetables all of the stuff that you could only get for 2 to 4 months a year You now have access to every minute of the day and they are highly processed in a form that's worse than they've ever been and they've been genetically modified by hybridization or by genetic modification directly to have more sugar have less fiber and then our nutrient quality from the soil is getting depleted so they have less nutrition per calorie as well. Where is meat has pretty much more or less only fluctuated 5 to 10% over the past 5,000 years. It's pretty clear to me what the actual problems are. I don't think it's a crutch to let your body heal by going to what is a natural human life cycle. Sometimes you eat the things that eat other things, and sometimes you eat the things and the things they eat. If you have the genetics from maybe 10% of the human population that lives in the tropics or some island that had specifically different dietary patterns, That's another story.

[@troyfox950]

I’m just ten minutes in but loved what I heard already. I have personally lost over 200 pounds and kept it off now for around 11 years. I couldn’t agree more with what Layne was saying regarding the smaller, everyday changes. A lot of times we just look at the long term end goal of losing a total sum of weight, but it’s what we do every day that leads to weekly changes, to monthly changes, to yearly changes, etc. I tried losing weight for a long time with diets and would lose 30 lbs and gain it back because the diet was over. I finally was able to get to a point where I consistently worked out, but my eating still struggled and was fighting severe depression. It probably took me around 3 years to lose all the weight just because I did have to really work at changing my lifestyle. And I will say it really was and had to be both a mental, emotional, and physical transformation. It helped me grow in ways I never thought possible and challenge myself in ways I never thought I could by doing some bodybuilding competitions after I lost all the weight, I went to grad school and got my PhD, etc. Looking back over the last 11 years it’s kind of crazy to look at all the changes, but they came with an everyday mindset and grind at working on myself. I will say though i think it’s important to have balance and have fun too, and have some good people around you who support you in the journey.

[@bill_monty]

I can vouch changing your identity is the "secret" to long-term lifestyle change. The way I saw myself when I was more of a "Dad bod" or "Skinny-fat" type vs. how I started to see myself even as the transformation was in progress let alone now couldn't be more different. It's been almost 5 years since I've been consistent with the gym and watching my nutrition, and it has been so good to me.

[@fletcher9328]

I'm going through a similar experience now, its been rough but man I've made a lot of progress.

[@vikasbhalla3438]

This video explained to me why my friends think that I am on a strict diet but I don't even think I am on a diet😅

[@fittara7322]

Its not a diet . sustainability lifestyle exercise is a way of healthy living. We dont seek to condone behaviors and alienate ppl from our lives that are important to us bc life isnt merely diet and exercise hopefully - its about finding meaning in so much to life and prioritizing health as being a component that helps poi t our compass in life in a meaingful direction. The Bible in one area states exercise profith little. Not none because physical wellness impacts our emotions. The choices we make how we live are effected by the ppl we strive to be. Diet and exercise clearly helps our positivity and wellbeing if we let it but ppl can be good or bad even if they dont prioritize health and theres more to life that a hard workout grilled chicken and broccoli. As healthy ppl we want our behaviors to be reflections to others especially loved ones and to ourselves.. Hope this helps even more.

[@Gaspar40]

Great moment when Layne says he should probably pull back and Chris says nah tell it like it is. So glad to see this. We’re here for truth. That what wisdom is right? Cutting through the bs and telling the truth about things as they are from your experience. Really good.

[@nadiacoffey2609]

Forming a new identity is absolutely correct. You go from being a person that likes to sit on the couch and watch tv to someone who likes to go for a walk. Someone who likes to eat out or eat ice cream every night to someone who cooks healthy food and eats healthy snacks, eats junk food sparingly. Since I’ve changed my lifestyle I feel so much better and happier. Some people in my life don’t say anything but I can tell they’re annoyed. Other people just say you look great. And I hope others will be inspired by it.

[@robertsummers295]

Absolutely beautiful description of success at anything including loosing and maintaining weight. Both of you have been such an inspiration to me and so many others. Thank you Lane and Chris

[@chdao]

When I was in my 20s-30s, I was vegan for 10 years and lifted weights. Sure, I had plenty of muscles, but I started to show signs of malnutrition (non-healing sores) and my digestion was horrible (diarrhea, loose stools, bloating and gas). I am much happier on an omnivore diet with whole foods and virtually zero processed food, while supplementing gelatin/collagen for my joints and tendons.

[@chdao]

@@MartinoNotts It has been 20 years since I started eating meat again. Even so, I wasn't feeling strong again until I started supplementing gelatin/collagen, MSM, Mg Citrate and Vit C, in my mid 40s. Now that I am 52 and started training daily again (stopped from 37-45 due to tendon pain) I feel like I am in my early to mid 30s again and am reaching towards new skills (muscle up, handstand push up, meat hook). KZbin is great for finding new inspiration...things that I didn't even know were possible ten years ago.

[@fab2907]

Most people go vegan because of moral reasons, i dont think there is any other reason to go vegan. Its far from healthy, especially if you eat all the fake meat and processed stuff

[@peterfconley]

@@chdaoI use Mg Citrate too, but I’m thinking about changing to Mg Carbonate for its better solubility in water. Thoughts?

[@chdao]

@@peterfconley I work with Citrate for its affordability and taste, since I can buy it by the kg in powder form. It is also relatively absorbable. I know Glycinate it more absorbable, but it tastes disgusting. Carbonate is used more for antacid and is less bioavailable. Chloride is the most commonly seen in supplements due to its affordability, but has a much stronger laxative effect. These are my initial thoughts on Mg in general. There are supplements that you can buy of a blended formula, up to around 7 types of Mg, but for me I like Citrate, because I take it every day and don't want to spend a small fortune on pills. One kg of powder which lasts a year costs about the same as some bottles of pills that only last a month.

@@chdaodo you just get gelatin from bone broth, or do you take a supplement. If so how much a day

Forgot who it was that I heard it from, probably Simon Sinek, but often we ask kids what they want to be instead of who they want to be.

So I still count my calories and it’s been working great. Sometimes I guesstimate how much of some ingredients are in my plate after I weigh it, but I don’t fuzz about it too much. Remember, don’t let perfectionism get in the way of your progress. I’m down 15 pounds in the last 3 months.

What Layne explains is pretty much all you have to do, manage the quantity until you’re steadily losing weight. The human body can’t lose weight without creating a caloric deficit. I’d not over think it

Would be interesting to know who's a bigger burden on our healthcare system: Person A) Morbidly Obese man, years with Type 2 diabetes, maybe a bypass or two, dies at 64 from heart attack. Person B) Peter Attia, lives to 99 and receives 4 joint replacement surgeries, battles cancer twice, lives in an assisted living facility for the last 9 years of his life. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that smokers and obese people cost the US taxpayer less than people that live a really long time and ultimately end up in full-time care facilities for the last 4-10 years of their lives.

[@briance71]

This is a very interesting angle but I think one of the aspects you might miss here is the fact growing OLD in the USA is expensive as hell, and everything you listed is the resp of the person. Whereas illness that care can be eaten by society if the person cannot afford, OR it is paid by insurance. Where as that home care is up to the person, unless they are thrown into a State run facility, and you are NOT in the taj mahal. It is an interesting question, but having seen both sides of this too many times, its not equal at all.

[@Pezerinno]

Afaik most people who live to old age don't live in care homes. They normally have a short battle with illness and die in hospital from pneumonia, heart disease etc. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your broader point mind.

Weighing out food for a week is a great tip I tell people to do. I did it for two weeks a year or two ago and now knowing portion sizes and where a lot of calories were sneaking in made it a lot easier for me to lost and maintain weight. Biggest ones I found were adding butter to bread doubled the calorie intake, and I don't even notice it's there if it's in a sandwich/with other stuff on the toast. Main two differences for me were knowing portions of carbs, and reducing the amount of oils/fats added to meals. Handily for me I actually prefer lean cuts of meat and don't like mayo, I see my partner eat the same sandwich as me and the mayo on it's own doubles the calorie count of some of the meals we eat.

I realized that ice cream seems to always taste so much better on those tiny tasting spoons they give you at ice cream shops. Then you order your ice cream and what do they give you? A normal sized spoon - and you end up scarfing it down and say, "Wow, that went so fast!" I have some tiny metal spoons for eating ice cream, and it forces me to slow down, really taste and enjoy each small bite, and by the end it feels so much more satisfying

Soy foods and drinks may help reduce hot flashes and night sweats during perimenopause and menopause. This is because soy contains isoflavones, which have a weak estrogen-like effect. Clinical studies have shown that postmenopausal women who eat 20-60 grams of soy protein per day experience fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats than those who eat less soy.

Man, I wish this channel could advise/talk about skinny guys on gaining weight because its like everyone just wants to talk about obesity. If you are poor, you might be skinny because you just don't eat due to time constraints around labor schedules. Its the same everywhere, with Tom Delauer, Peter Attia, or Huberman, always talking about losing fat. Because if you are skinny it is not just whether you are eating a ton, you could just be a natural fidgeter like Layne Norton has said in the past. Its hard to keep that muscle on long term, because its such a conscious decision to force feed yourself to eat, and keep that going on for months till its a habit. Why I like listening to these guys like Andy Galpin is cause it reminds, hey there are guys out there exercising, I should too, and the brain needs that jolt. KZbin is great not just for the content but for the daily alarm bell that these videos represent.

Just a note that vegan isn’t weight loss diet or a health diet, it’s an ethical choice based on reducing harm and death - from a health perspective the same rules apply as with omnivores.

I can vouch for sleeping better if I have my morning coffee (just one a day before 9am). I think it's definitely because it revvs you up and makes you move more, and what goes up must come down.

This is another reason I don't agree with working out in the evening, you SHOULD be 'crashing' and winding down.

[@albertlevins9191]

Yep, I cut way down on sugar this year too. It has really benefitted my health.

[@BlackstoneJ]

And do you think the little to no sugar approach was what made you lose weight ? Or.... was it that so much of what you used to eat had >2g sugar so therefore by elimination/not eating anything that's >2g sugar , you're no longer consuming as many calories and eating less. Caloric restriction.

[@ThePortalTheory]

@BlackstoneJ sugar turns to fat. Processed sugars turn to fat and are awful. It's not lower calories i ate alot of calories still and alot of avocados. Again...not 1 time did I pay attention to calories or carbs. Didn't look or care. Just stopped sugar. I've also been bad drinking mainly zero sugar pop Hardly any water. I'm working on that next lol. It's amazing how many good foods or high protein foods that have a lot of sugar. Like canned chili. Canned vegetables. Just try not to eat over 2 grams of sugar. I do eat whatever I want. I eat a lot of cherries. Strawberries..apples. I don't diet. Even the 1g sugar vanilla icecream in pints are so good. Just look at how much sugar is in everything. Crazy.

[@BlackstoneJ]

@@ThePortalTheory exactly why I asked you that question. I had a feeling you were going with the whole "it's sugar that makes you fat so by removing all sugars from my diet , I lost weight" . Time and time again. NO. Cutting out all the sugar from your diet means in your case you did not eat foods containing>2g sugar , therefore you stopped consuming ALL ( according to you) of the high calorie foods that contained >2g that you would've normally. You're restricting caloric intake my guy, whether you like it or not. You restricted calories and moved more . Energy balance. You were in a caloric deficit. You cannot lose weight by removing sugar and maintaining the same caloric intake . Also you said " it's not lower calories I ate alot of calories still and alot of avocados . Again ... Not one time did I pay attention to calories or carbs. Didn't look or care".. ok, so you admittedly didn't pay any attention at all to your calories , YET you argue that your weight loss isn't from lowering calories and you apparently ate lots of calories. Make it make sense ??? How can you not pay attention to your calories ( your words) , but then claim you ate alot of calories during this low sugar diet ... In order to claim you ate alot of calories one would have to measure them . I'm sorry but your logic is extremely flawed here. You cannot also make the argument that its NOT a calorie deficit when you're not measuring calories . You and all the rest of these people need to understand that weight loss is about energy balance. Put yourself in a caloric deficit by whatever means ( removing sugar, removing whatever ) , and over time you will lose weight. You did not lose weight cause you stopped eating sugar. You lost weight cause you at less calories and burned more.

I feel like one potential drawback of glp-1 memetics might be that in response to lower consumption the food industry may make even more calorically dense, even more palatable food. You appetite being supressed is all well and good until that one meal you have goes from 1000cal to 2500cal, then youll just gain weight again

[@whereruaaron]

Layne is great, too many fitness/nutrition charlatans out there. It's nice to hear the hard truths

[@aaronshaffer8501]

Nice Neck Deep shirt Chris! Love this pod just as much as the rest. Thanks for everything you do.

[@Caffeinated_Acrobat]

I just noticed that!

[@analozada9475]

From the information I’ve gathered…most people are not upset about obese or diabetic people using Ozempic. Folks are upset at the celebrities who don’t really need it, and who have taken over the Ozempic availability, so normal people who are truly struggling with legit health problems due to obesity have a hard time finding the medication. They believe that celebrities are just lazy and entitled, and always get away with everything due to their acquisition privileges. I’m sure there are people who feel upset cuz they believe that if they could lose the weight with hard work, why can’t others? Yet, they don’t understand that everyone has different levels of resilience, unresolved trauma, and temperament, which lead some people to behave differently.

[@heatherfernando3919]

I love Neck Deep and your show!

[@tomkoch3495]

I compare this to what Scott Galloway said. “I can make you rich if you give me 30 years of investing.” “I can make you healthy and ripped if you give me 10 years.” We just used to say “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Guess that wasn’t on the nose enough.

Is magnesium not a tier 1 supplement since there 100s of papers showing our soil is low in magnesium. 1:1 Mg:Ca and Omega 3 who eats fish everyday is COD liver oil a good go too?

[@winklenator]

Bro the comments on the short form carnivore diet videos are brutal and clearly those same people did not hear the part where he talks about being diet agnostic and the study basically was inconclusive on which diet is the best.

[@peanut5357]

I was literally watching the podcast from The Diary Of A CEO 3 months ago and this popped up on my recommended, lol

[@seamussullivan2218]

Which one? Mind sharing here?

[@Hyperbog]

Reupload? I feel like I've already seen this... either way watching again.

[@seamussullivan2218]

I was wondering if they already had one before or those were clips to promote this one.

[@richardmiddleton7770]

He's said most of this stuff multiple times, he's just being interviewed by someone different.

[@tearitloosetearitloose4670]

Never give up.

[@MrLugar45]

First time listener and I like the content, but man the ads.... You have the real ads that interrupt KZbin and then the in video ads. Those 2 combined is about 10 mins of ads per hour. Waaaay too much. Of course your channel is doing well, so why would you care about my opinion, but for me this high ad to content ratio is the thing stopping me from finishing this video and probably seeing future videos.

[@sho_k1]

Ridiculous sponsor ad. Raise your standards Chris.

[@harleybfilms]

I heard a video of layne talking about seed oils and it pissed me off lol speaks volumes of how I was thinking but after this he seems like a awesome dude

[@jcrackhead85]

I don´t get the endless discussion why vegans should stop creating meat-like meals. It´s the way you can still have the taste, without any animal getting killed or hurt. I think many people, including Chris, see vegan diet more as a lifestyle choice from health perspective and not from ethical point of view.

[@patheticpear2897]

If you are not getting results, just put ten years into it and then see.

[@stormymccartney2987]

Awesome interview, love the content. I would love to see you get Jeff Nippard on the show if there's any way you can make that happen

[@ferengi2022]

1:13:17 The most important quote of the whole show.

[@jamesmckinney3264]

He says that carnivore diet is likely experiencing the benefits they see because they are substituting the unhealthy food of the standard american diet, with more meat. However, when he references the fiber study, he seems to think that its the fiber driving benefits, not the same principal where you are eating less of the junk in the standard american diet. Why does that logic apply to one, but not the other?

[@1s_that_a_j0j0_reference]

If you listen to some of his other talks, he addresses this. While fiber does have correlation to health, so does decrease in fat. So any diet that decreases your fat will make you more healthy. Are you as healthy as you possibly could be if you also ate fiber? Maybe not, but being overweight is one of the worst things you can do for your health. So any diet that you can stick to is better.

[@SM_RD]

The carnivore diet is an elimination diet. Majority of the benefits achieved are directly through what is being removed (and also weight loss plays a huge role for many - its often the primary reason for starting the diet). Adding fiber to your diet (addition/inclusion) is the opposite of elimination. The benefit from fiber is seen without the need of removing anything else from the diet. You may replace poor food choices with higher fiber/nutrient dense foods, but it's not required to see positive change.

[@canererbay8842]

The difference is that one is studied by controlling the confounding variables as well as possible while trying and isolating the studied variable, and the other one is people expressing their uncontrolled and unmeasured subjective expreriences.

[@Yupppi]

It's sort of shocking to me that Layne Norton has to tell people that oatmeal is good or that mysli is good or like whole grains in general, dark pasta or rice, potato, or broccoli/whatever vegetables and fruits are good. Didn't people's moms tell them this from the first day they were a grumpy kid about eating food? The funny thing to me about fibrous foods is that you can almost tell a thing you put in your mouth either has or doesn't have high fiber content. Like you feel it when you bite and chew. The soy or milk discussions always entertain me. Because when people go to steroids, aka superphysiological amounts of testosterone in body, they grow boobs. And the people talking about soy and milk are afraid of growing boobs and want more testosterone and less estrogen in their foods. Newton being huge on occultism warmed my heart when I read about it. Some of those great minds really used their creativity and imagination to enrich their life. I feel like they should've asked the participants how did they feel after a day of 1200 kcals. Because it's sort of that level of energy where you are rather lethargic, stomach grumbling, headache and you're about to start screaming and slamming the walls. But when did the average half-life of caffeine shift from 5 hours to 9 hours?

[@tsebosei1285]

Bottom line balance is key and do something you can sustain for the rest of your life.

[@AB-lb4zv]

I’m all for eating ice cubes and photosynthesis 🌱 🕺🏼

[@ign0bilium]

Good video, great guest! Please stop it with the AG1 bs though...

[@artynegelen786]

28:01 here I personally disagree. It's about nervous system regulation. As is why diets, and everything else, fail(s). Maybe get Irene Lyon on your show? She'll shed light on this and on top of that, she has a performance background too ☺

[@atomthebagel4054]

That Maui Nui ad placement couldn’t have been better timed hahaha

[@qqq111444]

Glad Layne and other evidence based folks are getting platformed with actual practical non-shiny-object cult diets.

[@0ucantstopme034]

Dare to be different people, not like the herd. You can do it. Practice self-discipline, not just with food and exercise but with everything in your life: paying bills, cleaning your car, relationships, etc.; self-discipline is a neural network that must be strengthened. Then your health will just be part of that self-discipline. Go get em...

[@qqq111444]

Layne: what are we supposed to do? Eat ice cubes and photosynthesize? lol 1:52:50. 1:52:56

[@coki1990]

I am in the process of getting divorced, since my dearest husband wanted a poly-marriage, came out of the blue for me. I feel like traditional values are dying. I still have hope to find a new life partner, but I really never wanted to get divorced :/. Let's hope marriage number 2 will last till death.

[@ginoyesano5649]

Comment for the algorithm!! 🙌

[@jakemarlow8998]

The comments are interesting. Let's see if I got this right. If you consume animal protein, you have an easier time making gains but you're a dick for not considering animals, climate and/or the planet. And if you consume vegetable protein, you have a harder time making gains but you're a better person because you're virtuous and not as selfish. Is that a fair synopsis?

[@stretch1807]

Lol yes

[@shpalman7]

His 10 minute take on Ozempic was worth a whole lot more than Hari's two-hour attempts to stir up a scare or a backlash while having to admit that actually it's a really effective drug which has positively changed his life.

[@C-Stringz]

What an awesome episode

[@calebdau2707]

Can you please have Dr John Delony on for a very long episode??
