Great discussion and a lot of really good points

[@MikeMayfair]

Mike, Phil Learney and others always telling Ben that calories is the most important thing to reduce when wanting to drop fat👍

[@dubstepAH1]

Because it is first, then other factors come into play

[@gregtrombly5812]

[@michaelyoung6837]

[@colm2101]

Thought it was Ramy in the thumbnail

[@johna6838]

Mike is a great guy full of great info, but he has the worst video chat etiquette ever 😂 I have yet to see one podcast where he uses a good camera angle lolllll

[@jamesdashper1316]

Ben u need to stop talking when he is talking saying yes and stuff it works in real life but not on internet.

[@Functional_fitness_eltham]

Not big fan of Mike, has a very linear way of thinking and some strong biases. Well impressed with his ability to push and to learn though

[@MP-mz7un]

Would you please be so kind to clarify what you mean with "very linear way of thinking?" I would also love to know what kind of biases you are speaking of.

[@Functional_fitness_eltham]

@@MP-mz7un A linear way of thinking is reducing the variables in order to get a reductionistic answer that is in line with your current belief-system. When it comes to biases I feel that Mike is so intelligent that he fails to see the bigger picture and zooms in on the smaller processes within the body, effectively treating systems in a vacuum (which never works). Examples of this are; - His view on calories, the calories in versus calories out - His view on a meal, mixing up all kinds of sources in order to get the required macronutrients without any regard for the nervous system. - His view on muscle-building, more is better and exogenous hormones are okay for a man beyond a certain age or at a certain physical level. The reason why I see Ben Pakulski as a mentor is because he has a holistic complex approach to health & longevity, which is something I strive for too. Mike is incredibly intelligent which in the end is his downfall and in my opinion the reason for his linear convergent way of thinking.

[@jackn9951]

@@Functional_fitness_eltham what is the issue with calories in calories out? He certainly has never said that that's the only important part of nutrition. I don't understand your second or third points at all

[@Functional_fitness_eltham]
