Great statement. I was obese and drank a bit, took terrible care of my diet and changed my life several years ago. Now I meal prep everything and stay consistent with sleep and workouts. For some it may seem like I’m a slave to such a regimen but I actually love it. It gives me something to continue working for. And YES I think being a little uncomfortable is important!

[@Zombikilla10789]

That’s sort of true, especially when all you’ve ever known is junk food, and realize that whole foods actually taste much more complex and exciting, especially fresh herbs, vegetables cooked properly, different seafoods and meats. However, there’s plenty of “healthy” foods that are extremely easy to overeat, especially when you know how to cook. Olive oil, homemade dressings, mayos, fattier cuts of steak, cheeses, all are very good for you, but in a short term plan you might have to limit. And eventually you start to learn that it’s just about cals in cals out. A piece of junk here and there, of it keeps you in your deficit, is fine and welcome. Life’s to short to just eat under seasoned diet food all the time. Good food is good for the soul!

[@bitfinesse]

High volume, nutrient-dense foods for fighting calories is exactly right. That means vegetables. People would do very well to just throw in two pounds of steamed vegetables with every meal. Then work out their protein source. That’s a great way to do it. Maybe you have to reduce the vegetables a little bit to fit the protein you need into your feeding bag. Maybe you can handle a pound of fruit in your day, depending on where your calories need to be according to what you’re trying to do (calorie surplus to gain weight or calorie-deficit to lose weight). You can’t beat vegetables. Raw they’re 100 calories per pound, steamed they’re 150-200 calories per pound. Topping them with rice vinegar or balsamic vinegar, garlic powder and paprika is a great way to make them taste good enough to eat without making them good enough that you can’t stop eating. The vinegar helps turn the nitrates (NO3) from vegetables into nitrites (NO2), which mix with our stomach acids and become reduced to nitric oxide (NO). You want more nitric oxide. It’s a vasodilator. It widens your blood vessels and arteries and improves blood flow. And blood flow is amazing for getting jacked. You want more blood flow everywhere. And I do mean everywhere (if you know what I’m sayin). Our brains release dopamine when we eat things. That’s how our ancestors survived during regular periods of scarcity. The amount of dopamine your brain releases is correlated to how many calories per pound your food item contains. Oil is 4,000 calories per pound. Fruit is 200-350 cals per pound, potatoes are 400-500 cals per pound and meat is around 700-1300 cals per pound. Whole grains are around 400 cals per pound but bread is closer to 1300 cals per pound. The good news is that just like all drugs, as you reduce the average calories per pound in your diet, you become more sensitive to less dopamine being released in your brain. And you will be happier with less calorie-dense foods. But as soon as you eat something that’s very high in caloric density, relative to what you’ve been eating up to that point, your brain will want that item for the next couple of weeks. This is part of our evolution to steer us toward the highest calorie-dense items so we don’t starve. We aren’t designed for a world where very calorie-dense things are everywhere all the time. Abstinence can be your best friend because the fun foods are designed to make it impossible to “eat just one.” And white potatoes we ranked as the number-1 satiating food on earth in a study that I won’t pretend to have read. So having a little bit of white potato during big calorie defecit a can go a long way in protecting your sanity. Have a great day!

I've just hit my weight target today on Mike's plan (playlist from RP). 98->88kg. And last 2 months I was not really "dieting". I weigh myself everyday but I'm no longer counting calories but still had grasp that I was doing easy -100 maybe -200 kcal a day and lost last 2 kilos. I had improved food quality way before the diet (not with fads, cut the junk and cook) and beginning of deficit was rough. I think I did maintenance period after 10 weeks or so and if not that I'd probably fail. My motivation was running out. It was never very high as I'm in stable relationship, good work, decent health so it was not putting out a fire it was a want. But somewhere halfway of 8 months (3 diet periods and 2 maintenance) it really did click - i.e. I'm completely fine at this amt of food. I could probably go another 2 kilos because I don't feel like dieting and still have slight deficit. I won't. From now on, target is to keep this and do similar, stable, long term overall small improvement in exercises to be 88kg and fit decade after decade. Not getting shredded (though I'd go with RP if I wanted to), but optimal muscle and mobility to be fit middle aged man when I get there. BTW I've tried fads in previous years and it was very quick and easy to drop 5-6kg but then restrictions were harder to maintain, I was hungry. I was very much feeling "under eating" not just at start of diet but afterwards. So every time I'd bounce back to 95-100. Will I bounce back now? I don't feel any deprivation or craving, I think I could eat like this continuously.

[@PhilipTheBird]

Not quite where you're at myself but I completely recognise what you write. For me step 1 I got from Dr. Mike is "eat as much as you want, but no junk". Then step 2 was starting to count calories and macros (no deficit yet). Then I followed the RP diet plan, counting macros and vastly simplifying my meals (basically 4 varied meals per day but every day the same).

perhaps the most dispassionate - aka - logic, reason, science. the 'suffering spectrum' analysis is spot on. we've had everything from 'eat to win' (80's) to paleo, to carnivore, etc. for my money this approach is the 'zen diet'.

[@NJTRAF]

It’s quite simple, in my opinion, and that’s simply avoiding highly calorie dense foods that don’t keep you feeling full, and avoiding foods that spike the shit out of your blood sugar levels - that’s it. Steak, for example, has more calories per 100g than Vanilla Ice Cream (about 170-175cals to 145-150cals) and that’s before you cook it and choose to butter baste it etc. … but… a Steak doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels, and a Steak will have you feeling fuller for longer. That’s just one example, I mean if you eat Cereal in the morning, even cereal that is “healthy” like Special K is 120cals for 30g, plus the milk calories on top of that (and nobody ever eats 30g either) … whereas a 3 egg omelette has around 200-220 calories depending on the size of the eggs used and again, keeps you full for longer, doesn’t spike the ever loving shit out of your blood sugar levels.

Filling your belly is a great feeling.

I didn't realize how important all the chewing and amount of servings was to my overall pleasure from eating. Ever since chips and salsa when I was a kid, I love to just pound the food down and pack it into my belly. And doing that with fruits and veggies is super doable, and I dont feel a nasty hangover and heart-rate rush from consuming excess fat.

beans are starchy and have a ton of fiber. You can probably eat all you want.

Veg curry for me has been great… prob about 60cals per 100 grams for the curry itself, 156g (200cal) rice, zero fat yogurt on the side with tons of coriander and lime… absolutely stuffed after 500cals.

[@user-tj5yg5pk8v]

I like to add herbs and spices to healthy meals. Makes it taste great without adding calories!

[@docauch5938]

With the wealth of options available now in the realm of protein bars/shakes/etc, I see no reason why anyone would ever eat a candy bar again. Give me one of those Legendary pop tarts or a Barabell bar and I could never even think about having desserts again.

[@landon4278]

Dr. Mike did miss something crucial about carbs. Some carbs spike your blood sugar more rapidly and take more insulin to return to normal levels. More insulin correlates with more body fat. People can do quite well by wearing a continuous glucose monitor for a little while and see how different foods impact blood sugar levels. If you can lower the hormone insulin, you won't retain as much body fat.

[@GLoveMOA]

The Dr. Is absolutely right. I’m dieting down right now and the deal is that I have to eat 200 grams of protein and at least 4 servings of vegetables per day, then I allow myself to eat whatever the heck I want! The protein and veg typically only equals about 1200 kcal prepared as meals and I’ve yet to be able to get more than 2000 calories in per day.

[@ASeriesofTubes]

May I ask how you’re doing this? Im really struggling getting my protein over 100g and I’d like to up my vegetable intake too. Any tips welcome, thanks in advance!

i love how jacked this guy is and he has the most calm voice. I aspire to be this calm with my loved ones…

Unfair that I got a fudge striped Keebler cookie ad in the middle of this video 😢

[@alexd7925]

Being highly caloric while also having almost zero effect on satiety "doesn't make body fat loss any more difficult"?

[@TP1988]

Watching this while making creamy scrambled eggs. Going to assume they feature in the video somewhere.

[@TP1988]

OH GOD FUCK

Popcorn is my cheat code for ending cravings. Low calorie and filling

Interesting about the liquid in food making you feel full. I have started drinking warm water before and with meals, as is customary in many Asian countries and it’s helped me lose weight.

[@Sulamanjansulttaani]

Boiled potatoes, seasoned sour cream and any lean meat is my go to. Tasty enough to wait for my meal. Not tasty enough to eat a shit ton of it.

[@FFFFelix]

A Rib-eye cooked in butter with salt tastes amazing...like really amazing! But you can't over eat on it.

[@antoniorosado]

00:03 Individual foods do not stall fat loss, focus on overall balance. 01:50 Consider food palatability and fullness factor for fat loss. 03:28 Choose simple and less flavorful foods for fat loss. 05:01 Choose minimally processed, high-fiber, and filling foods for weight loss. 06:28 Easy food switches to aid fat loss 08:06 Gradually replace rice with veggies and fruits for fat loss. 09:41 Choose the most satiating starch choices for easy fat loss. 11:24 Different foods affect individuals differently.

Really insightful video from Jocko!

Remove food as a source of pleasure in your life.

[@annaalm18]

Good advice. Sound is jumping from time to time.

[@xcosmiccrunchx]

Saw a 6oz container of macaroni salad at the store- like 650 calories. Insane.

[@jgrayjr]

❤ you Chris!

[@MrShnigglepuff]

Can't go wrong with high protein diet as the body burns the most calories digesting it.

[@akrolite]

Chris with the Bad Omens shirt! I knew I liked this guy.

[@Aghor4166]

It’s easy keep calories down and try to eat mostly whole foods.

For Starches...YUCCA ROOT ....make it taste great...you can do soooo much even make yucca mashed like mashed potatoes style uffffff super healthy. Your Welcome

[@Bb-yomomfugazzi]

10:34 the answer is potato gnocchi , from Italy even better , 5 of those suckers and it’s a HIT on the dopamine , especially with tiny help of butter or Parmesan

[@peterblandtastic3363]

Lifters should learn how to cook properly as well. Ever had a lemon vinaigrette pan sauce from a chicken breast fond? It can be made with avocado or grape seed oil. Veggies can be tossed in the remaining pan sauce.

[@BodyBalanceBlueprint-qh2im]

It helped a lot

[@krwar01]

I must be weird because I love some brown or whole grain rice with some salted butter and pepper. I can that as my only carb all day! well...peanut butter too!

[@augustuspalmer4844]

Chicken breast cooked put hot sauce on it at the end throw it on a microwave baked potatoe perfection

[@philipsmith6152]

Man is a genius !!

[@davidmills7046]

Love the video and the message. Big fan of Dr. Mike. Here's my theory, not really a theory but whatever, you want to have high volume, low calorie food when you're in a calorie deficit. If you're using some of your lower calorie diet to make things taste good, you're going to get less volume and be hungry more of the time. This increases the desire to cheat and increases the chances that you will cheat. If I eat a home made 1/4lb lean cheeseburger with fires and a soda, that's a tasty meal. But it's no where near the volume or macros I can get by eating a 1/2 of lean ground beef, 1/2 cup of rice, and a bunch of veggies. That second meal is going to stuff you and make you less likely to go get a slice of pie that puts you into a calorie surplus. Obviously it does no good to eat food that makes you hate life when in a calorie deficit, it'll have the same effect as eating too little volume. But strategically planning for one of your meals to be higher volume at the expense of tasting fantastic, at least imo, makes sustaining a calorie deficit more tolerable than making that super tasty, low volume meal if you're still hungry after eating it. Just my 2 cents though, everyone is different.

Sugar feeds cancers. Would love to hear the docs thoughts on the relationship between the two.

Weight loss doesn’t equal health.

[@lourensthalen1674]

I don't know who and where but someone said: "Make sure you don't drink your sugars". Skipping all the soda's, the sugar in your coffee/tea, and realising there's 7 calories in a gram of alcohol/ethanol, if you just stick to water, tea/coffee without sugar, skip alcohol for a while, most people will lose at least a few pounds every month without too much effort. A can of regular coke has 39 grams of sugar, that's just insane.
