***Gold*** "Something I like to remind people of, is that, our biology is way more powerful than our willpower!" 🤔🤗

[@nomsky4719]

so you are saying, willpower is not biologic, and can be trained. that means, that your body can be trained, with willpower. otherwise, just order a pizza and get back on the couch, diabetes is not your fault?

[@johnpaulfrachiseur7700]

I just want to say that I really appreciate how positive your message always is. As a father with a little girl it’s dope seeing another dad find the time to get shit done all with a smile on his face. You’ve helped me more than you know bud, thank you for everything you do.

Thanks for sharing John!!

One of the best videos I've seen on this subject! Scientific, logical, practical -- and all explained in a simple, yet not overly-simplistic (so as to be wrong), manner! Kudos! And, bravo, sir!

1. Too much cardio, not enough weights 2. HIIT all the time 3. Too big caloric deficit 4. Processed foods 5. Guesstimating caloric needs

[@chilipalmer2428]

Usually I like these summaries, but in this case the background or "why" behind the points is critical. Example: The 5 food theory.

[@jonnywareagle5189]

The best advice I have seen anywhere and I ain't even finished watching the vid.

[@Beats-By-Anthony]

Marcus, I have a question... Creating a ''deficit'' with ONLY cardio/weight lifting/energy expenditure while ''eating'' at maintenance level... Is that even sustainable or achieveable at all?

[@marcusfilly]

If you increase your energy output and keep your current calories you will technically fall into a deficit and that can work too. I find a combination of increased output and some deficit to be most effective.

[@davidvesely5963]

Thats actually what you should do if you are planning long term weight loss. You stay at maintenance (or what youre currently eating) and add activity, after u plateau with weight loss due to adaptation u can slowly cut some calories (like 2-3 hundreds) and continue with that. Also try not to add too much activity so you still have some room to add up later on if u wanna get "shredded" and not just lean. Cheers!

[@takkinwong5777]

long fasting (>24hour) is a total different story compare to a big calorie deficit

[@jean-micheldrolet1128]

Same happened to me. I never heard of Marcus until today, now I’m on the 2nd video. (Marcus, you look awesome and I’m in awe of that backyard!)

[@mtstans]

When should you trust and record a measurement from the scales when determining your maintenance? I'm dieting right now and some times when I weigh my self I can be +1-5 lbs over where I think I am and then a few days later I'm - 1-5 lbs under. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Whats your opinion on high carb (80%) low fat diet to lose weight? As it gives more energy to workout, body hardly storre it as fat even in calorie surplus, also you get destressed and better sleep ans higher metabolism

[@bigaz72]

I totally stumbled across you a few days ago. Normally elite athletes like you are above and beyond my reach. You stuff is spot on even for an older (almost 60) athlete. I'm far from elite but your stuff applies to me too. I do have one question though...you kinda destroyed that Pop Tart. Did you enjoy that a little too much

[@marcusfilly]

haha. i spit that pop tart right out! i'm glad it feels reachable.

[@chilipalmer2428]

I feel same. I am 62 and this definitely applies to me. I am at my perfect weight and BMI. Got there by keto. But now I plan to get back to some dumbbells pushups, etc.

[@Julian-pk2vr]

Agree with all points, except a few.... The theory of thermodynamics came from physics, by the "professors" who back then dabbled in nutrition....yet the human body is not a closed system, like a machine....but an open SYSTEM....I consume over 4k calories per day....according to my physique and activities, I should be eating 2.5K calories per day....I have been doing this for 5 years....Should be SUPER overweight....but this is not the case, but have a body lean mass of 10% body fat, it not less.....I actually do the Keto diet and not mix the energy systems with fat and carbs....the reason I am able to get away with this.... What professionals normally do is give advice to people on what works for them....they fail to understand that people are different....Just like there are differences in hair, eyes, noses, body shapes, blood, etc....there are differences in bio-physiology, which people react different to stress (work -or rather as we humans call it "exercise") and nutrition..... Actually according to anthropological records, our ancestors experienced NO FOOD and abundance of food when there was food....or the so called feast and famine cycles....they ate when there was food and then they did not eat ANYTHING for days, --NOT that they ate very little in a caloric deficit state which is different to a fasting state....the former being detrimental to health as you pointed out previously, and the latter being super empowering to the body system....

“Our biology is way more powerful than your willpower.” Excellent point. Very good example is that if the Hunza tribe; a hunter-gatherer tribe studied by Herman Pontzer published within the past year.

[@riddleofsteelgamer6632]

After watching this video I am going to the gym RIGHT NOW! Time to get some blood into those lazy muscles. Also what I learned over the 3 years im dropping weight is don't mess up your daily routine. Just keep going at the nice steady ride the wave pace. I once listened to guys saying you need some off days and "shock" your system binging with all kinds of food, worst advice ever. Just eat food you like and is healthy and low in cal preferably. Also stay far far far away from trigger foods that will active BINGE mode (junk food, highly processed foods) this is the gateway to an endless loop of losing and gaining weight. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy during birthdays or holidays but just don't go out of control keep it moderate or just ride your bike for 100km after :D.

[@marcusfilly]

I'm so glad this inspired you

Feel like stuck with doing too much high intensity. I’ve fluctuated in weight my whole life up until I was 26. (35 now) I went from being 307 at my heaviest all the way down to 192. I’ve done traditional lifting and CrossFit. CrossFit is where I got absolutely shredded. I maintained it for two years. Very lean and vascular up until I was about 33. I took time off and started doing more bjj and then went back to CrossFit. Ever since then, I have completely lost my lean vascular look and now I’m much thicker and having so much trouble getting back to lean. I’m back to CrossFit and I do crazy high intensity workouts but not much with slower, isolated lifts. I use to normally hover around 215 very very vascular. Now I’m hovering around 232 and much less defined. Any pointers would be great. I’m definitely going to take some pointers from this video as well.

Hi I train 4 days a week in the gymn upper for 2 days and lower for 2 days for about 1.5 hours each session. ( this includes warmup and rest between sets). Additionally,I do 8000-10000 steps daily. This is accomplished by doing a 3 mile walk in about an hour plus the additional steps from day to day living like cooking , walking to the toilet etc. however most of the day besides what I describe above, I am sitting. Would I be sedentary or lightly active? Which would you recommend?
