[@segapena5033]

The two times I have lost a massive amount of weight and dropped into the sub 15% bodyfat range was when I started doing a massive amount of cardio like 25+ miles a week without that much changes to my diet. Why I like cardio is the effects or benefits are exponential. The more weight I lose the longer and faster I can run. The longer and more intense I run the more weight I lose and better I feel. With lifting I can get bored or if I'm not feeling like I'm making any progress I lose motivation. With an hour of cardio I can run 6 miles an incline of 2 or 3 or do intervals with higher incline/slower pace or walk the last mile at a really high incline and burn 700-800 calories. I think the treadmill undercounts the calories burned since I weigh 225.

Keep holding these charlatans accountable and calling them out.

Maintaining a healthy weight, getting plenty of fiber, fruits and vegetables, and exercising are all good advice.

About BMR, I have a very specific question linked to a recent article: this article came out in the journal Obesity a few months ago, "New insights in the mechanisms of weight-loss maintenance: Summary from a Pennington symposium". They report pretty convincing evidence that there are "metabolic adaptations" to obesity: at equal muscle mass, the previously obese individuals who lost 10% of body weight consume up to 300Kcal/day less. How does this "metabolic adaptation" connect to your point that obese and non-obese individual have equivalent BMR?

Hey Layne - any chance you could do a vid on the claim that belly fat is caused by stress? Diary of a CEO has an episode with Dr Ranjan Chatterjee claiming it's all stress and not overeating.

In my experience, it’s more about how you react to stress - some people actually eat less in stressful situations, while other people overeat. It’s still about calories in and calories out.

I'd be too stressed out trying to wedge steady-state cardio time into my already busy life/family/professional/weight workout schedule--and would likely have to get up ultra-early to do it--now lacking sleep--and the cortisol from life stress and lacking sleep to get up to DO steady-sate cardio--would possibly make me fat.

Also, at the risk of sounding mean, V-shred just sounds, well, very dumb. I think Thomas gets ahead of himself with some of the conclusions he draws from various papers, but I don't think he's actually stupid.

Do cardio to keep your heart healthy its true that a 30 minute workout on a rower after sweating it like crazy and you only burn 300 calories is pretty discouraging. It always comes back to eating less, there is no way around it, in 2013 i had back and hip pain do to a chiropractor over adjusting me while getting prolotherapy and PRP to fix the incompetent mistakes i lost 40 pounds, i was fasting and eating less, i was 41y old too and the weight just dropped. Now i can do cardio and train a lot more but for weight loss its calorie in vs calorie out, there is no magic to this.

how can you reference Herman Pontzer for metabolic rate by age, and then 2 minutes later say that you can modify your daily energy expenditure by exercise?… His book “Burn” essentially is entirely about how DEE is conserved- i.e. if you exercise your BMR goes down to compensate thereby resulting in a DEE that is pretty close to a paired sedentary control. anyway… still a good video!

Thank you thank you thank you for a real explanation of metabolism 🎉 A slow metabolism would mean your body is more efficient.

Ie: making their metabolism more efficient and allowing them to hold on to mass whilst being in a massive calorie deficit… Whats this you say it’s mot actually possible

[@brucejensen3081]

Slow metabolism usually happens with hypothyroidism. Slower digestion probably gives you more of a chance to get more out of the food, but could lead to digestive issues. I guess your body is more efficient at protecting more vital parts, but not at protecting extremities. Overall the body is much less efficient overall, if your metabolism is slowed.
