"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.

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.

Remember, don’t let perfectionism get in the way of your progress. I’m down 15 pounds in the last 3 months.

Wow! What Lane said at the start about thinking about the person you want to be and their habits, is something I've actually used myself over and over in this exact way.

Layne killed it here. Obviously I know he is being himself but overplays a role when he calls out people, but it’s also good to see him when he’s dropping knowledge and viewpoint while acting normal.

[@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.

[@MartinoNotts]

Found the same! Was veggie, went vegan and downhill into malnutrition while training. Switched to eating meat and now undoing the damage... But I'm into late 30s when capacity to regain is lower. Being vegan and building muscle or training at all... Not the way! Hope you did ok

[@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.

[@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.

The chopsticks and smaller fork suggestion reminded me of something I do - tiny spoons for icecream! 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

[@Leo-mr1qz]

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.

[@tombaker8445]

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.

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. I will add I don't do much after 5pm apart from a walk so the 'crash' doesn't bother me. This is another reason I don't agree with working out in the evening, you SHOULD be 'crashing' and winding down.

Damn man. Great work. That’s inspiring

[@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.

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.

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.

31:12 uhh you also were easier on your tweak than you did before with your hip “pushing it” so clearly it wasn’t the rumination. I get it, but seems like a bad example?

Good episode up until they decided to throw shade at Isaac Newton. They started to sound like Beavis and Butthead. Maybe there is some wisdom out there you don’t understand yet? Try being a little open minded.
