Brilliant! Two people that I initially watched on Joe Rogan have come together again in a much needed time. I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 8 months now since watching Peter originally and it has changed my life! Can’t wait to see what new things we can learn from this podcast

[@oldsarge275]

Thank You Gentlemen for the video. I was in a similar situation. 55yr old Retired disabled military, always active and working out and eating"properly" yet still gaining weight and last year June I was diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome. The V.A. gave me the same BS about my diet, and I fortunately found a Doc in the V.A. that told me to do my own research and see a nutritionist. After weeks of study on my own I decided to go KETO. Strict KETO to be exact, (less than 20 grams of Carbohydrates per day) I was 240 lbs at the beginning and over a year later, I am at 185 lbs. Last exam shows no fatty liver, no diabetes, and I never took any of the medications for it either. Yes it was difficult at first, but I am in better health now than in my 40s, I maintain my weight easily, and my physical activity is fantastic. What we eat makes ALL the difference in the world!!!!!! Hope this helps GOD BLESS.

I love his answer about talking to people about diet. For some reason it has become extremely dogmatic for people and if you don't agree with a certain diet, it seems like some people take it personally or something and get super emotional and aggressive about it. Its very strange and I've only noticed this in the last 10 or so years. It's like what some people eat is their whole identity or something. Very strange. I agree with his general advice though, eat what your ancestors could have eaten 200 years ago and avoid most packaged foods, that's good advice for anyone to follow without being too specific.

just shows that calories in, calories out doesn't work.

[@reecegeorgens1755]

@@xYouthAttackx It does. There’s something he must not be telling us. It’s literally the law of thermodynamics you can’t break science. A calorie is just a measurement of the amount of energy food gives us. If you are in an energy surplus, you gain weight. So it doesn’t matter how much exercise you’re doing if your eating too much food. It’s impossible to gain weight or remain at the same weight if you are in a deficit. So even with all that cardio he must have not being realizing how much crap he was putting in his body probably eating over 3K calories a day. Oh Nvd I have the answer. He literally said he didn’t want to decrease the amount of calories he was taking in because he didn’t like being hungry. So he tried to change what he was eating and that resulted in him not eating sugar. Well sugar has more calories than carbs and fats and proteins, so I’m sure by doing that even if he didn’t think he was changing the amount of food he was eating he still was because he was eating things with no sugar and therefore less calories, being in a caloric deficit, and losing weight.

This guy is making things way harder than they need to be. His simple answer is really all you need. Just don't eat processed crap. Eat low calorie dense foods and btw it's still calories in vs calories out. You can't break the laws of thermodynamics. Eat 3-5 meals a day reduce fat a bit eat more fiber and a moderate to high level of protein. Also fasted cardio is not as good of thing as people think

[@varunkamal91]

Calories out doesn't just stay the same at a magically high number no matter what. If you eat low protein and high sugar, low micronutrients, that number can fall drastically due to inflammation, fatty liver etc. People keep saying calories in calories out but when EVER someone says that I know they generally only watch calories in and think calories out can only be manipulated with activity.

Interesting perspective, but really, just because we don’t know everything about the best nutrition, doesn’t mean we don’t know anything. It’s too simplistic to say that. Step back, look at the science, make a call, and act. Discipline in what you eat reinforces discipline in other aspects of your life. Be psyched you can “train yourself” to be more “holistically” disciplined every meal. Have a Caesar salad and a steak and then get after it!
