I agree with the final comments on building muscle being a ideal. Walking short vs long is something I have really been delving into. Walking is great for burning fat and I’m going to do walking sessions on my higher carb days. I find 15 minutes to be effective enough. I do outdoor walks. One thing I think there should be a discussion on us the preconception that because people walk daily anyway, walking as training probably won’t do anything. Or how about that it is not given enough science behind why an actual structured walk into our routines does make an impact

[@Goblin_Hands]

I wonder if a solid anarobic workout that breaks down muscle and carbs, followed by 10+ minutes of intense cardio for the heart/endurance, followed by 10+ minutes of walking is a good recipe. I did an intense 60-90 min anarobic, 60 minute intense aerobic on elliptical and 30 minute 5 mph walk after I went through a lot of carbs after intermediate fasting.

Hey guys, would love more clarity on your last note regarding comparing walking 30mins to just having an extra 5lbs of muscle: Based on my basic ai search: Walking for 30 minutes: Approximately 175 calories. Having an extra 5 pounds of muscle (at rest): Approximately 0.625 calories in 30 minutes. Having an extra 5 pounds of muscle and doing basic daily activities: Approximately 121.5 calories in 30 minutes.

You have left out a part of human physiology where our cells recycle ADP and AMP, back to ATP. Also, not all foods are digested and absorbed equally. Lastly, skeletal muscle can store on average 50 gm of glycogen and the liver about 500 gm (well fed state). There is no such thing as “burning calories”, instead we utilize ATP for metabolic activities and recycle ATP, and replenish ATP when substrates get low. All food types can enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl-CoA to produce ATP. Hope this helps elucidate this discussion.

While I agree that increasing muscle mass burns more calories at rest, you can't beat a good long walk, especially while fasted, for burning fat. I went keto and intermittent fasting a couple of months back, and now every Saturday I walk for anywhere from 35 to 50km. While fasted. Takes 8-9 hours, no stops, no food, varying terrain from hilly hikes to relatively flat urban terrain. I also work out 3-4 times a week at the gym (recently) and I'm losing fat and keeping my muscle mass. So yeah, muscle is good, but a decent hike which according to my Fitbit burns 5000-6000 calories (all fat calories thanks to the keto) helps. It's also low impact (I'm 59), enjoyable, easy, and very relaxing.

@@MastiffHeart well not 9 hours every Saturday.

I was previously doing hikes of up to 20km around Sydney's National Parks but a big track repairs program on Sydney Trains on the weekends meant I could no longer get to those hikes so I just started walking around Sydney.

It is possible, theoretically, to be in a calorie surplus on keto. But you have to work at it. You have to make yourself uncomfortably full, often. Whereas, with a too-high balance of carbs, you can be in a calorie surplus and still feel hungry 6 hours a day. Keto works because your intake is controlled by a lack of craving, instead of spreadsheets and self hatred. Of course, that craving control can also be achieved by eating a mountain of food with low calorie density and pounds of fiber... but broccoli is keto-friendly too, so why not both?

[@tumekeehoa3121]

You've highlighted a challenge with weight as the only measure of success. Muscle is more dense than fat so you've been converting. The loss of inches probably means you look and feel better and are more capable. Keep it up because the conversion will stop and the weight will reduce.

[@ondrej1893]

Unfortunately fat burning via extra muscle is also overrated. I think you get extra 8 calories per kg of muscle vs fat. So if you weigh the same but replace 5 pounds of fat with muscle, you burn extra 18 calories per day. That's like 52 grams of cooked broccoli.

The point of keto is hormonal changes to allow fat adaptation. If 2 people have the same caloric deficit but different hormonal makeups due to macro differences, different insulin sensitivies and different meal timings, one person will burn fat while the other with lower his bmr instead, increasing hunger as a response. This is literally all it is about. Its usually no issue for bodybuilders but for post menopausal prediabetics it is

@@joeyjohnson9765 If you are in a caloric deficit and still relied on carbs your metabolic rate will slow down as a response from the lack of energy intake wich will force you to be more active. With keto you don´t because ketones are always there regardless of your carb intake, you can burn calories the same way without increasing energy expenditure. adjusting diet in keto and calorie intake / energy wasted its much more easy on keto, this is why keto its famous for weight loss. finally other advantages of keto, cravings are quite rare, and as an experienced athlete who has gone between keto and other high carb diets. the cravings get rarer and rarer the deeper you go into keto, I can live fine without thinking about food while in a deficit thats not extreme. Meanwhile on a high carb diet I literally think like a drug addict, constantly fixed on food, and this is not rare, look most bodybuilders and how much they need to eat in volume just to satisfy their needs.

A common keto misconception and the reason why a lot of people who try the keto diet can't lose weight. They're told that it's all hormonal and that calories don't matter, which gets them into keto only to discover that they're not losing any weight until they significantly reduce their calories.

@HCforLife1 sugar in the form it's sold to us is as addictive as heroine. That's really something to think about. Again, the average person doesn't realize what insulin does to their minds and bodies. The uncontrollable hunger, the yawns, the "I feel like crap," all comes from consuming carbs and sugars. U really have to dump that for awhile until you can get your mind and body right. FYI isnt it funny that the cigarette companies bought out the "food manufacturing corporations". Realize they took pure tobacco, which actually has medicinal benefits, loaded it with chemicals, some being addictive, and now u can upcharge for each chemical, and wallah your making huge profits. U don't think they did that with their "food manufacturing" companies do you?

Gaining weight or losing weight is about you got extra calories or less than your body uses. But gaining weight or losing is complicated thing. If your protein intake is low your muscles will shrink and if you are under calorie then you lose muscle and fat which will make you minauture version of yourself like your look will be similiar. For example you will have smaller biceps and around that bicep have lesser fat but muscle shapes body. So at the end your body shape foundation (muscles) will be worse but you will have less fat but at overall it wont be good like fat to fat skinny. Best thing is building muscle or keep muscles while burning fat. In order to do that your main goal will be taking same protein as usual but lower fat and carbs. If you are not exercise then your body will use less protein and most of the protein will be stored as fat. It is same for carb your body will use it as energy fuel then store rest as fat. Ao your body store extra carb, protein and fat as fat which makes all same for overtaking. Best thing is take less than usual but keep protein and exercise so your body use extra protein while burning fat.

Walking is awesome. Calorie deficit is needed to lose fat, but it is not as simple as that. These guys are smart, but they don't know how to lose weight. Most of what they say comes from the perspective of an already fit person. They don't understand the dynamics of what it feels like to have all that extra weight (bless their little hearts, they try). Calorie restriction alone is a plan for failure. Keto/carnivore in a Calorie restriction is much more effective and much more sustainable than Calorie restriction alon because you don't feel famished, and you will lose weight faster than Calorie restriction alone. Mix in walking, which is also sustainable for someone starting out heavy. After you start feeling great, add resistance training. That's how to lose fat. Get a gym membership and count calories... quit after 2 weeks because your body isn't made for that (yet) and stay fat.

Well if you have a machine that is not in a good shape you will burn less efficiently. Take a look at any cars out there. So yes and know. Not every calorie is a good fuel to burn etc

[@GeorgeMcDougall-gz4tp]

Building 1 pound of muscle is like 6 extra calories per day burned so gaining 5 pounds is 30 calories a walk burns way more than this

[@jimmysmad]

Calories in calories out I don't think works. Surely you would need to mend your hormones before you can loose fat

[@Adamantium08]

Watched another video of you guys saying eat more to lose weight, what’s going on here?

[@adityan3208]

Maybe they're saying eat stuff with less calories but always keep yourself full.

[@intjmikepearson1350]

Um. Your body doesn't actually _want_ to use glycogen. It needs it for emergencies. Not having it could mean death. Dipping into it a bit here and there isn't too bad. But if you're burning calories slowly, your body would rather pull that from fat, as long as it's at a rate that's not too fast to keep up with.

[@garysharp8871]

I'm 185 pounds and I walk 6 miles a day. Most weeks I lose 1 pound a week depending on if I eat ice cream that week lol.

[@AlKey3]

That makes perfect sense! Walking a mile will burn between 75 and 100 calories for someone your size. And comes to about 500 calories a day for you, and if you do that 7 days a week that's about 3,500 calories, which is the magic number to lose about a pound of fat

[@davidtaylor400]

[@AR-yl9rf]

This dude thinks buliding 5 ibs of muscle is easy, it depends if you're a beginner lifter or you have some experience. Adding 5 pounds of muscles takes a lot of time and dedication, so it is better to introduce walking + being in a calorie deficit, and lifting weight.

[@vagabondsgroominglounge7137]

A lot of words, beautiful words might I add, and you still didn’t answer the question!!!

[@TIMESAUCE6]

Bro said don’t walk just lift.

[@jesuszarate6392]

Good information but when you don’t walk or eat healthy people that don’t diet correctly or walk shout not talk shout out it’s easy you just eat less and exercise more..??? Like a gerbil wheel forever? Yeah that’s the plan. No , you can have a steady straight of working out and eating even adding extra to build yourself up and maintaining a healthy weight

[@BrianMason1000]

If you ate 1200 calories a day and burnt 2400 calories a day lets say for 3 years, wouldn't you just disappear?

Please just break it down for me I'm a 5'9" female how many calories do I need to eat a day? I'm doing IF too but just give me a number lol

[@andrewd5135]

Multiply your current weight by 14 if you want to maintain that weight or Multiply by 15 if you plan to gain weight

[@MastiffHeart]

​@@andrewd5135so multiply by 13 to LOSE weight??

[@sassysandie2865]

There are calorie calculators on Google that tell you how many calories you need in a day based on height, age , activity, etc.

[@robertromero8094]

I would have to say wrong. If yout kept calories the same went on a 4 hour slow walk down a trail vs lifting weights both daily walking results would destroy muscle gain results in weight loss

[@elwood62]

If it’s so easy to lose weight and the human body is no more complex than the internal combustion engine, then why are the three men giving advice fat?

[@edackley8595]

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. Calories in - calories out = weight loss OR weight gain. The power is all in your hands and up to you.

[@nhny58]

That’s why Keto requires intermittent fasting.

[@GregPaxson]

Lol. Building 5 lbs of muscle will burn more calories than 30 minute walks... 😂. Building 5 lbs of muscle will also take about a year if you're lucky and have your training and nutrition optimal. Of you need to lose fat you can Start walking right now.

[@ryandeffley7652]

I'd actually recommend sprinkling in "walking snacks" all through out the day. This keeps you way more generally active. Also if a person doesn't move that much, it'll be easier for them to do 20-30 min walks every few hrs than walking 5-8 miles in one shot.

[@MetubeYoutube]

Connie Chiwa = Konnichiwa lol

[@KrisVic91]

Building muscle, resistance training, is poor for fat loss. You barely burn calories resistance training.

[@vaska1999]

Muscles burn a lot more energy (calories) AND they keep your metabolic rate high. You don't need to exercise at all to lose weight, in fact: just reduce your calories enough, and your body will start burning its own stores of fat to compensate for the fewer calories you're ingesting.

[@KrisVic91]

@@vaska1999 Yes but resistance training itself burns very few calories compared to steady state cardio. And I know ingesting fewer calories would result in weight loss. But why not also get fit while you do by either walking, or jumprope etc.

[@picanha694]

calories is just a fad. watch out for insulin and blood sugar thats more important.

[@vaska1999]

Both are important.

[@DepDawg]

Both are important because overfeeding also increases insulin. Insulin resistance is a result of all overconsumption - of starches, simple carbs, and sugars, but also of total calories, including lean proteins and heart healthy fats. That’s why long walking is so beneficial for losing weight, as are longer fasts when insulin resistant. I found that out the hard way after menopause. My estrogen levels caused higher insulin and I had to refine my low carb diet even further, fast longer, and increase my exercise, including walking 4 miles everyday, separate from any other workouts.
