Genetics can come into play. Like on my dads side we naturally have a higher fasting glucose which can lead to type 2 diabetes. Some things are out of your control. There's only so much lack of carbs one can do especially if you have other issues like Autoimmune Disease. Speaking of which. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis often times leads to Type 2 diabetes because the thyroid disease makes your blood glucose and cholesterol higher. So it's NOT just what you eat at all. Far more complex than that.

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Hi Tom. After following you for a few years I’ve now fully committed to intermittent fasting and the results are already enough to keep me committed. I’m doing 16:8 for the time being, 5 days per week. I’m already a very active person and enjoy my athletic lifestyle - but my performance has gone through the roof since IF. Coincidence? Maybe. But I don’t think it is. I hit my first sub-20 minute 5K (fasted), my strength has increased, my muscle has increased. My workouts feel more intense (fasted). I’m all in. Thanks for the amazing content you continue to produce. Cheers from England!

[@bunjicarlin1]

Fasting/delayed eating for me has been the best method for discipline and me managing and remaining at my desired weight. Even when I add/remove or go low carb. Daily fasting keeps me on schedule and my cravings or food desires in check. I have a time to eat and a time not to eat and this consistency keeps me well balanced.

[@Gavrev]

What's most interesting about this video is that it lends precisely a sense of perspective on how any one persons diet and/or approach can be so effectively different within the realm of a relatively comparable nutrition plan. When foods become inadvertently absent from your routine (in my case this past week it's been avocado - "ripen at home" haven't..) the absence can point to a significant lack of certain nutrients - I'm guessing this has left me lower on potassium than I would otherwise be.. It's more of a helpful video to keep you mindful of how variations can knock you off in certain ways, so thanks man!

[@GailBecker-MSED-CM-Author]

I cannot imagine you being "very very overweight", but I appreciate you sharing your experiences. Moreover, thank you for sharing the brands and foods you consume. You are an excellent example of where I want to be, as a woman, of course. I hated eating meat, and I got away with it for many years. However, not eating meat has gotten me into trouble, and now I have to eat it. Moreover, my mother and my doctors strongly recommended we drink a glass of wine with dinner. Neither of us had ever drank wine or any other alcoholic beverages for that matter. When I tried it, I thought I was going to regurgitate it! How do people become addicted to something that tastes so horrible?

This is a testament to how trial and error through experimentation helps each of us develop our own unique protocols to maximize our individual physiologies; truly, n=1. For me, almost fasted workouts in the AM with just 1 scoop of collagen peptides. I can eat as many carbs as I want midday/early afternoon without bloating or fatigue if I take 1/2 tsp of ceylon cinnamon. Low carb, high protein and fat in the evenings. Berries all day. Cottage cheese before bed. It's amazing how you find things that make your own body thrive that will make another individual bloated, inflamed, and sick. Glad you found your path, I hope this video inspires others to experiment and tweak their routines to ultimately find their own. Great content as usual TD!

My carnivore life has helped with so much. Especially cheat meals. Even a pasta night doesn’t cause that super hungry morning gut I use to get. I just don’t have that hungry feeling I use to have. But now I do what he says to do… “listen” to your body. So those morning I get up and feel hungry I give a little something or I eat my OMAD and flip my day. It’s working well for me and my total gym and body weight calisthenics have also truly taken it to another level. I’ve busted past that 20+ lb weight lose and I’m losing more again while getting lean and more defined. Soon I’m guessing the weight will plateau again and I may gain weight due to muscle mass. It’s all in how I look and feel. Not gonna obsess on the scale weight.

[@TattedTroyGuy]

OK, you just described what works for me and what doesn't work for me. We are on the same wavelength or something. Although I best work out on a fasted state, sometimes I become weaker long term which I'm thinking has more to do with the need to increase my rest period. Seed oils screws me up too. Also, don't know if you subscribe to Consumer Lab, however, they test annually the best olive oils (not all EVOO are the same at all!). Love the talk on low glycemic eating throughout the day.

[@michaelromero3131]

Hello Thomas, I enjoyed watching your video and I agree that meat is essential for us humans, the amino acid and mineral profile in plants is lacking compared to meat and eggs, by the way we as humans lack the enzyme cellulase to break down cellulose (plant fiber). I also was plant based for awhile but did supplement with collagen types 1-5 coming from good sources. I too only eat maybe one full on meal a day usually via intermittent fasting but I am trying to break that cycle( depends on what I ate) . I begin my morning with a fasted workout. My question for you is does include a protein shake? Or even a low calorie "protein shake" consisting of unsweetened almond milk and collagen protein. ( Hey maybe I should start doing that again!)

[@321tennisplayer]

Would like to see what your meal plan was from 5 years ago and how it is now, how the macro levels changed and the thinking behind any changes.

[@bryceherring946]

No one needs to eat 4 meals a day, especially if your someone who is in good shape and metabolically healthy, you need 2 large meals or 3 max, spaced out and making sure each meal is high in protein with good animal fats. If you eat two large, high protein meals per day with a concentration on a large portion of high quality animal protein (meat) with some additional fats and carbs, you should naturally feel satiated and not need two more meals, we were meant to eat larger, calorie dense meals and then spend the rest of our time during the day and night not eating but instead today too many people are eating small micro meals, and on the go and snacking piece meal throughout the day which doesn't give the body enough time to digest and feel satiated the same way a larger, more filling meal does.

[@Locke19901]

I used to agree with this. But for weeks I been trying to take in 200g protein a day and it's just impossible to do it easily in 3 meals. Gotta be four.

[@matterman2003]

I eat 3 meals a day plus a snack in the afternoon usually. Last thing I eat is dinner at night. Down 40 lbs since mid January. Not a fan of the 6 meals a day club but 3-4 meals is fine, especially if you are focusing on low GI carbs. I also do 5:2 fasting tho so that likely helps as well

[@firepowerjohan]

I experience the same thing with Carbs, Thomas. I cannot keep eating meal after meal with lots of slow carbs because I get bloated after a few days almost like I feel sick. This despite walking around with great sugar level generally (usually around 5.2 , sometimes as low as 3.6) thanks to IMF and loose LCHF. The IMF has rapidly improved my insulin sensitivity I guess (2 months) BUT I really never get totally fat adapted. I try to eat high protein low carb but if I push it too far (such as eating mainly chicken and cheeze for 3 days) my glycogen storage slowly depletes. Last time this happened I was at 3.6 blood sugar and then I do a huge carb refill in one swoop. This occurs maybe one a week. I am talking like 600 gram of candy plus 150 gram of cookies just to quickly get my carb storage back. I meisured my blood sugar after thus sugar intake a while after and I just reached around 5.5 which is still a low value if you have eaten something. Big note of course is I do some very intense workouts every other day that makes the muscle easily soaking up every gram of sugar once I get depleted. After refill I go back to imf, low carb again.

In terms of glucose management, I take Berberine and ALA in combo in the morning prior to breakfast and Cinnulin PF prior to dinner. Berberine has been shown to be as effective as Metformin for Diabetics. ALA is very powerful for insulin sensitivity as well. Cinnamon is an insulin mimetic with nearly the same structure as insulin and the body uses it in the same way and has been shown to reduce insulin release by 10x normal. Has definitely helped with weight loss as it really accelerated once I added these in. Currently down 40 lbs since mid January, 12 lbs in the last month.

i can literally agree on anything, especially the ting with carbs and meat... if i want to lose fat and stay lean, i cant really go above 50g of carbs.. the more meat i eat, the better i feel and the better i can perform in the gym... vegan or anything like that simply does not work for me, especially when you a very active and lifting heavy weights... for me thats the reason why most of the vegans are weak and puffy... there may be a lot of fit vegans out there, but keep in mind that most of them build their physique more likely on a normal diet with meat... most of them are like vegans vor some years but they already lifting way longer, you know what i mean...

Thank you for reminding people that what works for one person may not work for another; it kind of contradicted that when you advised other people that are active that they may need more meet though. Anecdotally, as an active person, meat doesn't work at all (ethical issues aside) I feel like crap when I've eaten animal products, my insulin is all messed-up, gut issues, brain fog, sleep issues, period pains & fibroid issues - with even the smallest morsel of chicken. I don't miss it one bit. It causes me so much cognitive dissonance to hear someone I respect & admire shilling meat products, and justifying what is essentially a recreational product. You have done so much excellent research, it cannot have escaped your notice that there's meta data on things such as the carcinogens that are naturally cooked into chicken, the addictive qualities in dairy products, or that actually fish and chicken have the least protein of any meat so are not the ideal go-to for protein, especially if you're active (they're just palatable and familiar). There are many reasons people have to justify eating animal products, but the gig is almost up with 'health' being one of them. I'd respect it much more if people could just admit that it's mainly for pleasure & convenience.

Keto lost my 30 extra lbs quick. Then 18 months of keto I kept right at 170 lb. Really high fat, but my exercise regime kept me stable. But my LDL went crazy. A1C from 5.9 to 5.4-5.6 but still too high for comfort. When I shifted off keto to Mediterranean-Vegan-Pescatarian blended diet 6 weeks ago veins literally started appearing that I've never seen. I'm at the leanest point of my life. Less than 200g carbs. I just got a CGM and see these spikes to 150 sometimes 180 (only last 5-10 min) that make me nervous and may indicate some nagging insulin resistance. What is probably the clearest fat burner is eating at 6 pm. Walking 30-60 min before bed at around 9 pm. My blood sugar rises after dinner, but goes down in the 80s after an evening walk. I have a full supply of my own high omega 3 fish in spanish mackeral. This is quickly becoming my only animal protein in the diet. I've had it almost every day for 5 weeks.

Thanks for mentioning MSG. This also doesn't work for me, I even get migraine from that. Whenever I hear "MSG does not do any harm" on so many YT channels, there are comments that report that MSG causes migraines. However in YT channels that focus on issues with insulin resistance, they all say that MSG is harmful. Also, looking at you now, comparing to your pix ~10 years ago, you seem to look younger now.

@@may_beck6224 Sorry to hear that. It seems MSG can have a variety of negative effects.

As for me, yeah, those 3-6 meals per day gave my all kind of problems and hunger, low energy, etc.., however, for me fasting everyday works and still works great, the only thing that makes me gain fat is a surplus of calories, no matter from where they come, and thankfully, I have decent tolerance to carbs, but if I eat more than 300 carbs you could say, that's when I feel bad, just as If I eat too few carbs (below 100), and yeah, nothing beats fasted cardio or workout, I perform so much better, but not only for workouts, I just have like unlimited energy for everything during the day, that's why I do Night IF, because I feel great and can work either mentally or physically without taking breaks, thanks to I trained my body all these years to utilize fat at its maximum to give mental and body energy.

There are plenty of studies showing seed oils are inflammatory, toxic, and cause accelerated weight gain. Not only that but a plants strongest defense mechanisms are typically found in their seeds.

Hi Thomas, I am relatively lean and active person with no critical illness. But I have sleep problem and lack of energy when I want to push myself from my comfort zone (exercise wise). I am on Keto for the last 10 days and I feel good about it. How long should I do it or do I have to do it forever?

Naturally should be number 1

Im fasting 4 days then eat three days Veggies no starch or root and i gain 5lbs. Takes two days fasting to reduce the weight and then loose an extra pound. Why???? Im thinking its alvocado. Im trying to loose wight. I think ill try only meat when i eat. How do you gain weight on red bell pepper, onions,kimchi,and seaweed and microgreen sprouts? Crazy!

On the seed oil topic. Corn oil isn't necessarily a seed oil but occasionally I will go out to eat for a business luncheon. If it is a Mexican restaurant I will usually get a Fajita. They must cook the vegetables in Corn oil because my mouth gets dry afterwards and I feel like I was eating chips.

I'm curious if you experience the MSG headaches or acne with your MSG sensitivity?

I like doing legs in the morning on an empty stomach. For Other body parts, I prefer having a few meals in me and lifting in the afternoon. But never on a full stomach right after eating. Need to wait at least a few hours after the last meal. Cardio always best fasted, first thing in the morning.

Yeah you have been in phenomenal shape for years! Everything you did worked, no?
