Dieting was easy when I was single. Dieting got harder when I was dating (required social meals). Dieting got impossible when I got children (sugary snacks everywhere). I admire bodybuilders who can watch their family eat pizzas and cakes while they still have the discipline to eat steamed vegetables and a banana for dessert.

[@Rathbun222]

I don’t think bodybuilders would be feeding their kids pizza and cakes. From my experience bodybuilder parents tend to have healthy food in the hosue. Obviously they’re kids and you gotta let them cut loose but I’ve been to doctors houses, meatheads, ETC and I never once (again this is my own experience) saw them letting their kids eat absolute shit

[@Rathbun222]

Atleast consistently eating shit. Birthday parties and what not are no brainers, let your kid eat some cake but hopefully yk what I mean

[@glurp1er]

@@Rathbun222 bodybuilders are not cross-fitters lol. I've met bodybuilders who were fathers, their kids were totally normal kids, not fatties of course but they were eating ice-cream and French fries. Meanwhile their father was eating a banana. I admire this kind of discipline, as a father I couldn't do it. I still take caution in the food I'm eating, but there are so many opportunities to eat sugary snacks that I'm doomed to fail. I'm still muscular, but my body fat must be around 25%. That's OK, I'm at peace with it, sharing food with my family means more to me than visible abs.

Im German and that sounds like a problem that only Americans have. Sure kids eat candy sometimes, just like adults do. They get some on halloween and christmas and they eat cake on birthdays, but they dont get candy or sugary snacks all the time and certainly not every day. If kids get fed sugar every day that just starts them out on a bad road into adulthood already being addicted to sugar

[@frederickdefeo3768]

Fiber was my issue. I was 341 lbs in February when I started working out hardcore (4-6 days a week) and I have a dog with plenty of energy that needs walking, so I’ve been getting my steps in. I got down to 335, but stayed there for months because I could never get my diet in order. In July, I came around to fiber supplements (metamucil). It legitimately helped me stifle ravenous hunger cravings and desires for big meals, making it easier for me to count calories and make better eating decisions. In those 2 months, I’m now down to 315 and the muscle gains are becoming mildly noticeable.

[@shapesii]

This was 4 months ago... Bet you're fat again lol.

Mike needs his own personal KZbin channel that has nothing to do with fitness education but just him as a person, his thoughts and his personal life

[@Magic_beans_]

9:38 - I did this for the final couple of weeks of my last cut. I was already eating chicken, brown rice, and broccoli slaw, but eventually I cut out the sauces too (bbq, teriyaki, or buffalo usually). They were only about 10 kcals each, but without them my eating got a lot slower and I didn’t watch the clock nearly so much to see how far off my next meal was. It sucks to strip those little pleasures out of your life, but it’s just for a few weeks and it paves the way for a more satisfying long-term reward. That touches on another thing Dr. Mike has mentioned in previous videos: keep the fat loss phases short, and unless you’re on a deadline for some reason, get out before it gets too hard. I can do a 6-week diet no problem. The cravings don’t have time to really ramp up, and if they did I know I could have those things in a little while. My metabolism doesn’t adapt until about week 5, so I’m still eating plenty of (boring) food. A 12-week diet is *much* harder. That’s far more deferred gratification, usually deeper cuts to your food intake as progress slows, and a longer post-diet phase where you still have to maintain discipline to avoid too big of a rebound.

[@swiper1131]

Great point on the shorter dieting phases. I was 510 lbs and got down to 235, ramped my way back up to 380 and decided to sustainably lose weight. When I got back down to the 245 range I was so frigging burned out on dieting. I legit dieted for basically 2 years straight to "re-lose" 150 lbs.. I had to just up my calories and sustain my weight for a good 2 years just to feel like I was ready to lose a bit more weight. All that to say, I wanted to lose the weight so I just blasted through and dieted for 2 years but I probably would have had a much easier time, although it would have taken longer, if I had broken it up into 10-12 week bursts with diet breaks in between.

[@RenaissancePeriodization]

PREACH! - Dr. Mike

[@danieltemelkovski9828]

@@swiper1131 I don't think you did that badly. I mean, dude, you started at five freakin hundred pounds. I'm honestly having a hard time imagining how that even looks. Anyway, getting to 235 from there is a phenomenal effort, so even if you could have taken measures to prevent the rebound, even with the rebound, you still lost 150lb in two years, and that remains a solid effort. Imo, the stuff about shorter diet periods - eg 6 weeks vs 12 weeks - is more relevant to people who are starting out from, say, 18-23% bf. Because 12 weeks from that starting point can get you get very, very lean, and life can really start to suck when you're in a deficit at very lean levels. If your starting point is higher than say 23-25%, and especially if your starting point is much higher than that - eg you're extremely obese - then you can definitely afford longer diet periods (eg 6-12 months).

[@Turbo_Tina]

Thanks for reminding me of this! It also helps psychologically by making the process of weightloss less daunting. Embracing the suck for 6 weeks in a time feels a lot more doable than 3 to 6 months in a time.

[@Pyhantaakka]

Soups are great for this. First you end up eating slower due to it being hot. Water makes it less calorie dense (assuming you don't add oils...). And you can make it very tasty with spices. And it goes great with some full grain breads that would otherwise be dull to eat. I think this is the reason people used to eat a lot of soups. They didn't have much available but they somehow had to make that small amount to last. If they made it like we do (roasted, fried etc.) it would only last for a one meal.

[@Easydecisionhardlife]

I have tried keto, fasting, liquid dieting, etc. I tried so many different kind of dieting and yes, it works well for a short period of time but these don’t go long term. When I started to turn back to normal diet then my weight raised out of roof top. As I started to lift weights, I threw away the whole low carbs whatever dietary advice, and because I am trying to gain muscle and have enough energy to lift weights, I don’t cut carbs but increase protein and make sure I have enough fiber intake. Boy oh boy this is the best thing ever, I am able to count calories without feeling depressed, I can be full without feeling guilty.

Don't have crappy food in the kitchen, no crisps (potato chips), cookies (er biscuits), jam ( jelly or whatever you lot call it) .. also I make my missus take the bread to work so I'm on the rice instead, bread is my nemesis.. No booze in the house is really helpful. There are some great minimal alcohol beers available now if you crave beer. Otherwise prepping for diet, a stint of 14/10 fasting acclimatises one to a bit of hunger. I'm on less cals now than when fasting and not hungry in the day, apart from morning before breakfast. Enjoying your vids mate❤

[@timothyburrows9622]

Part of the problem is we have evolved to want highly palatable food. Our hunter/gatherer ancestors went after sweet and salty foods because it meant calories, especially when the hunting opportunities were slim. Our bodies haven’t changed much since then so we still desire those foods which are now available all the time.

[@DarknovDono]

For at least, reducing or eliminating high palatability foods doesn't work at all. I don't have enough self-control so when I eat something that I don't really like that much, even if I'm full already, I crave junk food immediately, I crave sugar soda for the rest of the day. What worked for me was making low calorie density and high protein foods as palatable as possible while making sure that it's physically impossible to eat more of it. Chicken breast sous vide, leafy greens and veggies with high protein 'sauce' like skyr, tomatoes, etc. really make my cravings go away and I love the food too!

@Katrina Bojorquez One serving: 4 slices of the Sara Lee Delightful Healthy Multi-Grain bread (180cal), 4 servings, or 184g egg whites (100cal), 5 heaping tbsp of stevia. I never measured the cinnamon, just added it until it felt right. You can optionally add a tbsp of vanilla extract as well. Whisk the egg whites with the stevia and cinnamon, then dip the bread in the mixture. You can either make them in a pan on the stove coated with non-stick spray, or on an aluminum lined, nonstick sprayed sheet pan in the oven at 350° F for 18 minutes, flipping after 12 minutes. The bread, depending on if it's fresh or slightly stale, may not soak up all the "custard" for the French toast. Pour the excess over the French toast as evenly as you can before flipping the French toast. I top it with 1 serving, or 170g of Oikos Triple Zero vanilla blended Greek yogurt (100 cal), and 1 serving, or 122g of Libby brand pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie spice mixed in.

Curious about the way you discussed ‘tasty’ food. Sounded like you were just describing the high salty/fatty foods. We understand what those trigger for us to want more, as you said it’s like a drug, but that’s not to say everything else is bland or that those foods should be called tasty. Dieting or healthy doesn’t mean bland meals. People just need to learn to cook better and detox from the junk. Maybe it was more of a verbiage thing for me that it was tasty vs bland because association for people struggling to lose weight is pretty powerful. I found after more education, I looked at the “tasty” junk food as less tasty. My brain started being grossed out by it. I think it was also due to eating more whole/healthy foods, that my palette could taste the junk so to speak. It does adapt like you said, and even more so when you learn to cook delicious healthier meals.
