We all know that carrying unneeded weight on a run will either slow you down or wear you out faster. But what if the real extra weight you're carrying isn't in your shoes or pack, but in your cells as stored body fat? For many runners, this is true.
We're not advocating weight loss at all costs here, not at all. But if you do have extra body fat, moving towards a way of eating that both fully fuels you and allows your body to release extra fat stores is truly the biggest flex you can make in your running.
You'll buy the new shoes, crush a mega track workout, and spend half your Sunday on a long run, but will you do the one thing that gives the most compound benefits for both your running and health in the short and long term?

Great video, such a common sense thing but no one ever wants to hear it. People get offended way to easily when you talk about weight loss. I know its something like 7 lbs of force per foot strike per lb of weight you lose, thats a lot less stress on your legs = less injuries = better training. It really is compounding.

@@chethanrasireddy8394from a pure physics perspective (they had runners wearing harnesses which reduce their weight), it is around 2.7 sec/kg/km. that is just the physics. But most people losing 20kg, it likely means their diet got healthier, maybe less alcohol, etc. You will also likely sleep better and have less chance to injuries for your joints which allows you to be more consistent with your training. You will also need to strengthen train to make sure the 20kg is mostly fat. But I wouldn’t be surprised if you did train and then lost 20kg healthily, you could take 1 minute + off that time.

While I fully agree on the premise of this video, you did get a few things wrong. 1. Losing weight, so you can run more miles does not mean you are training any harder. Imagine lowering weight at the gym and doing more reps. That does not mean you train any harder than you would with a heavier weight. 2. Getting fatigued when doing curls does is not a result of overheating. But I get your point here. Temperature is more of an issue in running. 3. The amount of fat you eat does not matter in weight loss. Eating more veggies means you are most likely eating less calories. That's why you lose fat. You can eat just sugar and butter to lose fat (of course not recommended). 4. Eating veggies to lose body fat does not mean you don't regain it. I don't care what you eat, if the diet is unsustainable over a longer period of time, you will regain all the fat.

I'll happily prove them point by point: 1. The point is that you can run more miles WITHOUT training harder. It would be the SAME energy output...but more miles. Thus it would be a superior training effect. 2. Inability to continue contracting is a result of increase local temperature and build up of hydrogen ions. Short of mechanical injury, those are the reasons why you get maxed out with a specific muscle. If you cool it, you can perform up to 16x as much work. The research on this done at Stanford is staggering. NFL and NBA players are using it. It works 3. the amount of fat you eat TOTALLY matters in weight loss. "the fat you eat is the fat you wear" and within a s little as 3 minutes ingested fat it's stored. The main driver of this is chronic high intake of fat which reduces insulin sensitivity. Low insulin sensitivity is what signals to the body to store fat around the organs and under the skin. High fat intake absolutely leads to higher body fat. 100% for sure. If eating the same number of calories from fruit, as compared with oil/meat/dairy (all high in fat) the results are night and day difference. Check out the books "how not to diet" and "how not to diet" and "mastering diabetes" for the peer reviewed evidence based research on this. Or just check out the YT channel @nutritionfacts.org. 4. Eating veggies is a great way to lose body weight. Of course don't eat ONLY veggies. But yes you can eat all plants. I personally eat only whole plants, mostly fruit, lots of veg, and can sustain my body weight very easily, despite running about 2.5 hours per day on the trails. Eating plants is the most sustainable way to eat. If by sustainable we mean "maximizing lifespan and health-span" then yes. That's why 60% of all Americans are severly overweight. They don't eat plants. They eat processed food, and animal products. In fact the ONLY large population on the planet which falls within an average of the recommended BMI are fully plant based eaters. Not even vegetarians. Sorry man, but those attempts to debunk fell flat.

l agree on most things you were saying in this video, however I find it also extremely important to mention that you need to be fueling the work you are doing. Otherwise injury and overtraining are guaranteed. For me personally this was/still is a major issue, but I can understand that this certainly is not the case for the majority of runners (an probably your main audience) out there. As a (ultra) trail runner I am probably training a much higher volume in terms of hours on feet than most normal road runners do, therefore this issue becomes more relevant for people like me, I guess. It is definitely very hard to on the one side get in enough calories to fuel your training and on the other side make sure you are not overdoing it. Especially with a plant based diet, as in my case, because the amount of fruit/veggies makes it a bit more difficult to actually listen to your bodys signs of satiety. Often I only realize I have been eaten too little calories, when it is already too late and I feel low on energy on my run. Do you maybe have any tips for me? Would highly appreciate some advice! Also, I just stumbled across your chanel and really enjoy all your videos you put out so far. Keep up the good work! :D Greetings from Austria

Hey in Austria! Welcome. I too am an ultra runner and have run over 200 miles on 100% plants. My PRs in the 50k and 50mile are on only raw juice. I’d say it’s much easier to listen to your satiety when eating plants, especially raw. Because when you’re full on watermelon you just stop, but salty fatty addictive foods…you don’t stop you just eat until you pop! Lol. I’ve never felt more in tune with my body than when eating raw. I hear you though of course you need to fuel up for the big runs. I’m an example that it’s not only doable but easy and helpful for your running. If I can do 205 miles with 40k of gain off only plants, then the proof is in the pudding. But don’t take my word for it- I suggest watching all of the videos from @thefruitarian. Michael Arnstein. This guy runs over 200 miles per week and has some incredibly times and wins under his belt, and he eats 100% raw fruits and veggies. That’s it. Thanks for the great, and respectful, comment you left on this topic. A lot of people have a knee jerk reaction and just yell “but protein!” Lol.

Excellent points. I've sort of always figured losing excess weight is going to be key for me to reaching my ultimate marathon pace goal (slightly less ambitious than your client, Brett). I just struggle with committing myself to that aspect. As you suggested, it's a whole lot easier logging the miles and then say I'm putting in the work. One big hurdle I have, is with conflicting goals. I've fell into the trap of justifying my indulgences, because I've burned the calories for the day.

The way to do it is with quality of diet, not caloric restriction, you’ll run anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 seconds per mile faster just from each pound, every mile. You can do it! :-)

@MrTantriq you likely can lose some weight just by getting rid of some of the mucoid plaque in the small intestine. Keep your muscle, but you can lose things like fat around organs, stuff that's built up in the intestine, etc. You do that by eating supremely healthy. No processed foods whatsoever, which leaves you essentially with just raw fruits and vegetables. Move towards that as much as you feel comfortable, sustain it, then improve over time. Performance will improve for sure. Check out the channel The Fruitarian, Mike Arnstein is a very accomplished runner who eats only raw fruit and veg and he details a lot of his journey.

One caveat to your takes on diet and nutrition: The best diet is the one you stick to. Crash diets, restrictive diets can be fine if that's okay with you to stick to. But don't make a decision for the next 10 weeks, make a decision for the next 10 years. There's nothing wrong with caloric restriction, as that is the meat and bones of any successful fat loss diet. Likely you are not going to overhaul your entire diet over night without a shitload of resistance. Last month I still ate ice cream, muffins, bread, sweets - and lost 16 lbs. Feel energetic and happy and almost never hungry. This is the same thing I did when I lost 65 lbs two years ago. I kept the weight off but took a break from caloric restriction Most of you don't have a problem with what you eat, but have a problem with your relationship with what you eat. Like binge eating, going way past full etc.

Important to note that risk of injury can INCREASE if your body fat % is too low. Your body needs ample fat to recover properly. Also, no conversation on this topic is complete without acknowledging the rampant body dysmorphia that exists among elite runners and sub elites as well. It’s also worth mentioning some runners carry more muscle mass making BMI a faulty indicator because it does not take into account muscle %.

Whole food plant based diets are the most impactful way to lose weight and keep it off. The BROAD study is the most successful weight loss study ever and used only whole plant foods as the intervention. Eaten ad libitum, no exercise prescription. Fasting can be good too. But the main reason why most people benefit from fasting is that they stop putting in nonsense foods to their body for a bit of time. You can get a great result from just eating clean foods. Some of the very same results as an IF for that reason. You can ALSO I.F. In a clean plant based diet. But I don’t recommend it for most because the main reason people fail on a clean diet is that they under eat. So at least until you’re adapted to it, eat as much as possible of whole plant foods, preferably raw. Then come to IF if you like. And yes stopping eating well before bed is an excellent strategy for health in so many ways. Very true. You can read about the BROAD study in one of the appendices of my book as well

As an on-again, off-again lifetime runner of 48 years I can tell you, unfortunately, what happens with a 63-pound weight gain: it's more than just carrying the extra weight. It's the TYPE of weight. 1. Fat is gelatinous and it's not the same as carrying ridged weight like a backpack full of camping gear. It's going down with gravity as the body is going up with each stride. Then it's going up when eaxh foot hits the ground. This compounds the weight like a dead-blow rubber mallet. 2. Having lots of abdominal fat pushes into the lower lungs and up against the diaphragm, preventing full lung expansion and deep breathing. 3. Having high bodyfat as a male lowers testosterone, which limits muscle recovery, energy, and power output. 4. A large belly changes the body's center of gravity in a way that makes it harder to run well. 5. Fat mass still requires bloodflow but it's more restrictive than muscle tissue, which has larger blood vessels. It makes the heart work harder. 6. High bodyfat creates lots of inflammatory response in the body which compounds and lengthens the recovery time from the high muscle inflammation of a hard run. 7. High fat mass makes the organs work harder which are already strained during a workout. 8. Fat gets marbled into muscle tissue like a prime steak. The higher intermuscular fat makes it harder for the muscles to contract efficiently.

Thanks for that share. Yes good point. Ideal BMI for health and longevity is anywhere 18.5-21.5 which is far less than virtually all interested world. And it’s caused not by eating too much volume but from eating foods high in calories, salt, and fat. Plant food is the solution.

Great video! Just got the shock of my life when I calculated my current BMI. 4 months ago I ran a 3'09 marathon with a BMI of 24.7 geeez. Next marathon is in just under 16 weeks. I need to drop 17kg to get my BMI down to 20 that's crazy. I never been that weight since my early teens. My best BMI in the last 3 years was 23.1 and I looked too slim with 10.7% body fat. At 20 BMI I would probably look like a skeleton. I concur I have most of fat stored in my abs. Not sure what is best to be honest.

Stephen! Such a good question. You DON'T need to get down to a 20 BMI. That's just a gold standard. But if you go from a 24.7 to a 22, you'll have improved performance for sure. The best part is that with a plant-based diet it falls off so easily. No calorie restriction required. In fact if you eat mostly raw, you'll have a tough time learning to eat enough calories. all the fiber will help move old stuff in your colon out, and you can lose a fair amount of weight just by purging old fecal matter in your intestine. So don't hold yourself to a standard that you feel is too difficult. There's no need to. Just make a small shift, and enjoy that. You can always do more later if you like :) Some of the best ways to improve BMI are to have a morning green juice (32-64 ounces. A big one), have smoothies that are all fruit (no dairy, or nut butters or protein powders), and eat high carbohydrate starch based dinners (potatoes, rice, lentils, corn, etc). Be careful of oil that sneaks in to most everything. That's ALL fat, and will make it difficult. You don't have to do ALL of these. Just pick one to start off with. I recommend a big homemade green juice (32 ounces or more) each morning. It's a great way to start the day! Let me know how you're doing! I'm here to help :)

How about muscle vs fat? Studies seem to support both more muscle and less. And you have to really dig into the studies - look at the insanity around diet epidemiology. Muscle isn’t just weight, it’s power, mostly water, and your training determines your muscle fiber mix, recovery improvements - even HIIT weight training has been shown to contribute the same or better mitochondrial improvements as cardio. So why run? What’s actually healthy? Can you run and not look emaciated? I love running - what’s your take?

This is an awesome question, and the answer for it is quite long. But essentially you gained weight because of a previous history with a high fat diet. If you stick with 80, 10, 10 or a general version of it, this would reverse the damage done by a high fat intake. Such as insulin resistance, damage to the artery walls, Damage to the liver. So you will see instantaneous results with a high fat or keto diet, but you will see inferior results in the medium, and certainly in the long term from it. It will actually exacerbate the problem. It will just minimize the early symptoms. This is a long Topic of discussion but that’s the short answer. Regardless of what you choose, you will do well to eat foods as close to the whole form as possible, this would include all plants, and if you choose to eat animal products, at least eat them in their whole form as close as you can. But of course, eating whole animals or the things that come out of them can lead to disease or is disgusting, so, do what you need to.

And then it plateaus. our anatomy is that of an herbivore. From our teeth to our pH of our stomach, to the length of our intestine. We're pretty dang bad at chasing down any animal. A squirrel...I'll give you $100 if you can catch one with your hands. or a rabbit, or a deer, or anything. Then killing it without the use of a tool is dang near impossible. Then gutting it would be very difficult. We have to COOK it just to not die from bacteria, worms, and parasites. It doesn't keep, and we can't transport it. Oh yes, and there's blood everywhere, which we tend not to like. We don't enjoy killing animals, let along gutting them, beheading them. And then what to do with the head? I mean it'll decompose and attract disease, so we have to dig a grave for that. A cow's guts weight hundreds of pounds, so we need to move hundreds of pounds. Then skin it...and even then..it doesn't taste good. It still needs seasoning, sauce, etc. A burger is gross until you - cook it, season it, then add a bunch of plants (bun, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, pickle. All plants). But fruit?...Our eyes are draw to the color. We love the smell (unlike the smell of a cow, pig, or turkey). Our hands are perfectly sized to just pick it. Our teeth cut in to it easily. It actually CLEANS our teeth when eating it. It's hydrating. Moves through our gut easily. And then we can carry it easily, in our hands, or in a bag. It doesn't spoil easily. It's not messy, and doesn't leave blood everywhere. We don't have to "honor the dead" with an apple. We just eat it. It doesn't require tools, cooking, or processing...or seasoning. We are plant eaters for sure.

Not the same bucket but a similar bucket yes. It’s a lot to go in to in comments here. I suggest reading “how not to age” or how not to die. Or how not to diet. DM me if you read one of those and I’ll send you some further reading recommendations.

I’m 6’2” and 200. If I get my bmi to 20.5 I need to weigh 160… I don’t think that weight would be healthy or sustainable without severe muscle and ability loss. 185-190lbs seems healthy with actual muscle. BMI is a horrible way to measure health.

@runelitecoach 3 ай бұрын
So don’t get to 160… but don’t use that as an excuse to stay 200. And it would be totally healthy if you didn’t through quality diet, not calorie restriction. Then again no one says you have to change anything. Just saying, you could…

​@@runelitecoach Thank you for your response! I completely agree that having a leaner body is indicative of a healthier body. I've managed to lose around 15 pounds from my maximum weight. However, I have noticed that while preparing for a race, my weight keeps fluctuating. This is because of the changes in my body composition, such as losing fat and gaining muscle. Even though my waist has become thinner and the rest of my body is more toned, my BMI still remains just above 25. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is flawed as it fails to consider body composition and density, which are significant factors.

You're soooooo wrong about grapes! They're the second most addictive food out there, after dates. You give me a kilo, and I'll finish a kilo in 5 minutes. That's a whole bunch of (whole-food plant-based) glucose that won't do me any good right there and then! (PS: I'm vegan, trying to eat mostly whole foods, and struggling quite a bit with weight control nevertheless).

Haha! You’re a grape addict for sure! :) . I mean they’re good. And we can enjoy them yummy yummy! But I think of addictive as…well if you told an average American that they could NEVER have pizza again…they’d be so very upset. I.e. addicted. But if you could never have grapes again…that would stink but we’d just have oranges or mangoes instead.

The muscle failing due to heat is simply not true. It is caused by a lack of ATP.
@runelitecoach
@runelitecoach 4 ай бұрын
That’s not true. You never run out of ATP. You would die if you did. Your body shuts you down when it anticipates. The demand for ATP is too high. That stimulus comes from overheating of local muscles. It makes an acidic environment where the proteins can’t react as quickly and you can’t manufacture ATP as quickly. The temperature is the signal that you would otherwise run low on ATP. But you will never, ever, run out of ATP. Because by definition you would die, your body is smarter than that, and will protect you by shutting you down far sooner.

I did say that the average runner (and person) would of course do well to lose weight. Yup. Over 50% of the country is overweight or obese> Even "normal" runners are likely carrying extra weight that hinders performance. Fasting is a tool that can be used for health, but not for performance.

@@runelitecoach in the USA it's more like 85%, over 50% are obese. Short term (below 48h) fasts do not negatively affect lean mass, but of course you gain little training benefit during a fast.

Don't starve yourself. But extra mass is not helpful for running faster. Lose fat but if you are a bodybuilder you need to lose muscle.

Yes. Don’t starve yourself. NEVER use caloric restriction as the tool. It’s quality of food. More impactful than exercise. Here’s a video on the research in diet bs exercise. The truth will surprise you kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZS1nGiDmddjZ5osi=VZemkDR6Rwbuk9Bh
