"Finding a girlfriend" should never be a goal. Girls come and they go. Your focus on fitness and health (and maybe hobbies) will yield people you are attracted to. So your relationships will have a stronger base.

[@thato8000]

I respect your take but disagree. I don't think there is anything wrong wih having the goal to find a partner. I do see a few issues with getting in shape and believing the partner will find you. The mindset kinda sets the precedent that it'll be a 1 way relationship.

[@nrXic]

I respectfully disagree. I think finding a girlfriend should be the primary goal. When you wake up in the morning, before you eat your first meal, you must go find that girlfriend. The longer it takes for you to find one, the more you abstain from eating and the more calories you miss out on which allows you to lose more belly fat.

[@paulkersey1007]

Find a girlfriend and make her your gym partner

[@blessedone5712]

So....at the end of the day the goal is....finding a girlfriend

[@iliano1]

Rubbish. Do you expect a partner to just fall in your lap? If you like someone you've got to go for it.

[@Kleenex129]

Praying I can make this work for me. Your words have really found a place for me to start paying closer attention to how it’s really done to lose weight.

[@janedoe1404]

This is by far the best video I have seen to help break down the process to successful weight loss. Thank you.

Seeking that perfect soulmate, husband with the same mental state .❤

[@SeattlesaphiresLowcarbWorld]

Keeping up with my grand baby. I need to get healthy to see her get married

[@jennifersolorzano5186]

Hi Dr. Diamonds!! I just wanted to say that your video single handedly kicked off my weight loss journey. I gained 80 lbs during my pregnancy 4 yrs ago & i couldn’t lose a single pound 😭 but after seeing your video in May, I’ve lost 40 lbs so far 🙏 I also had taken 3 weeks off and I was still able to maintain my weight until I was ready to get back on track. Keep in mind I didn’t follow everything step by step but it still has worked out amazingly for me. I just wanted to say thank you soo freaking much, this is the first time I’ve felt good in my skin in literally years.

[@thomaszak9868]

Best regards from Cologne Germany! Thanks for the great suggestions!

[@heytgp]

I needed this. Thank you Doctor Mike. I'm pursuing 4 months of discipline and just being under the grid. I hope everyone realizes that we all deserve to be the best version of ourselves, we just have to be do the work. This will help me immensely.

[@robertwilliam9558]

Dr Mike, I watched to the end. Excellent science.

[@InGodwetrust-000]

"Hey Dr. Mike! Your channel is like a daily workout for my mind - lifting my spirits and flexing my knowledge muscles! 🏋️‍♂️ Thanks for keeping us healthy and entertained with your dose of wit and wisdom. You're a real life-saver in gym clothes! 💪 Keep those videos coming, doc - we're all cheering you on! 🎉

[@chrissysfitnessjourney]

The biggest problem I have out of all the things you named is “sleep” . Working overnight go to the gym right after I get off at 9am (I work 12 hr shifts) I go after I drop my baby off and to school then hurry home to sleep for 2 hours until I have to pick her up at 3 and then go to work again that evening if I am scheduled . So the only time I actually get a 7-8 hr sleep is when I’m off . I’m off mostly 3 days a week. 😢 I’ve decided to try and change my schedule to working my 3 days in a row , and have 4 days in a row to dedicate to working out and sleep. I’m hoping this works

[@dellzywillis3001]

Look up the Carnivore diet.

[@DerekManswell]

Great practical information!💯

[@DoctorMikeDiamonds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zachbooze8553]

There’s some newer research showing that ~.72g/lb protein is the max efficacious dose

[@kamaleshramdoss8284]

Can you please clarify - you mentioned that someone should eat 1lb of protein for 1lb of body weight, hence your 200 lbs of protein intake. However, your conversion is 1g of protein = 4 calories. You did 200 lbs x 4 g of protein. Please let me know if there might be some conversion error in here using lbs x grams.

[@lomagoba]

Dr. Mike how would you apply all of this if your job is over night shift. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

[@dumisanicakwebe1560]

As usual, I’m just here to mark the register!!! 😁 I’m 17kg down going strong, the aim was always 20kg but we will see when we get there how I feel. I’m 7 months into my journey and I’ve done the minimum of your teaching; eat enough protein(at least 0,8 grams P per pound of body weight), strength training and 10000 steps, and 300-500 calorie deficit… I’m hoping to get better at it in the next 6 months 😁

[@KOReilly-j2x]

When using sculpt by science for figuring out BMR, what do you consider intense exercise in terms of length, HR etc ?

[@trevino73]

One question. Hopefully you Dr. Mike or someone here can answer. I have type 2 diabetes. I heard eating to much carbs is bad. If I follow this plan it shows a high count of carbs. Will this affect my blood sugar in a negative way? Thanks for you help in advance.

[@theonlymikemac]

[@michaellaing1568]

Any idea on why when I’m cutting my weight fluctuates by kilos each day? It throws me off a lot because it confuses me

[@DoctorMikeDiamonds]

Here are some reasons why you might see these fluctuations: Water Retention: Your body's water balance can change rapidly, leading to fluctuations in weight. Factors like sodium intake, hydration levels, and hormonal changes can all affect water retention. Digestive Process: The weight of food and waste in your digestive system can cause your weight to fluctuate throughout the day. It's common to weigh more after a meal or if you haven't had a bowel movement yet. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially in women due to menstrual cycles, can cause water retention and temporary weight gain. Muscle Glycogen: When you're cutting, your body may be using up glycogen stores, which can also impact weight fluctuations. Glycogen binds to water, so as it's used up, your body releases water, causing weight loss. However, glycogen stores can also be replenished quickly, leading to weight gain. Salt Intake: High sodium intake can lead to water retention, causing temporary weight gain. Stress and Sleep: Both stress and lack of sleep can affect hormone levels and water retention, contributing to weight fluctuations. It's essential to look at the trend over time rather than focusing on day-to-day changes. If you're consistently seeing a downward trend over weeks or months, then you're likely making progress with your weight loss goals. Monitoring other metrics like body measurements, energy levels, and overall well-being can also provide valuable insights into your progress. Remember, weight is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to health and fitness. Focus on sustainable habits and overall health rather than getting fixated on the number on the scale. If you're concerned or need further guidance, consider consulting with a healthcare professional or a certified fitness coach.

[@jolandavanes5631]

Hello Doctor Mike, does the calculation also works for people that are very obese? Because if I do the calculation it comes down to 350 grams Protein, 50 grams Fat and 87 grams Carbs. Isn't the Protein a bit too high and the Carbs a bit too low? Really hope you can help me out with this. And thanks for the great videos you make and information you give! Really helps me a lot!

[@PytoX]

The app food is also great

[@rosatatuata]

Thank you for your video, I made the calculations but I ended up with the calories and macros that I should eat to keep my weight because I started calculating based on my actual weight. How should I do to figure out the deficit macros, should I start to calculate the proteins based on a lower weight? Also the weight is supposed to decrease, should I make new calculations until I get to the weight I want (which I don't know now)? Also in my Fitness pal the custom calculation says that the carbs should be 50% (and not 20%) of the total amount of calories, the fats 30%, and the proteins 20%, so now I'm just confused. Thank you in advance!

[@fredericcharron3831]

How to get to 200g protein while you do a 16/8 fasting ? ( 2 meal a day + snaks )

[@Bruce-prijs-acslee]

Add more meals in that eating window you have! There is no need to eat less in a less bigger eating window. Or you have to fast longer (20:4 2mad) If you do 16/8 it is all about time restricted feeding so you already cutting the time you would normally eat. And your body takes that rest already. So this is what i recommend you to do on 16/8

[@simplylucky8829]

dr mike the king of six pack abs

[@peterhernandez3717]

Doc mentioned 20% of your diet should be carbs, but then followed that by dividing those calories by 9 (for fats). He meant to say 20% of your diet should be fats (not carbs). Great video, I’m going to follow this myself!

[@aliteomanozturk]

my problem ı do everyting correctly getting enough protein workişng hard ı am loosing fat but at the same time ı also loose my muscles ı dont understand

[@Pi2.718]

Where are the links ?

[@DoctorMikeDiamonds]

I've just attached them!

[@Hehehehe._]

Hello how are you? I have been following your videos for a while I've lost a few pounds I seem to hit a brick wall but I see you talk a lot about carbs so my question is what if your A1C is high and you need to get it down your doctor put you on a low-carb diet?

[@letty5515]

What if a person is sleeping too much

[@IgiveyouNONE]

You didn't cover the scenario where you are building muscle, feel stronger in the gym but when you weight yourself you have the same weight. What then?

[@Ice22783]

Do you think this stuff is possibly for a 13 year old?

[@taratelue3553]

As a 13 year-old, you are still growing, still adjusting before getting to your adult body. I'm not an expert, but I've been there. I say cut down in the junk (and you know what they are) and be more active. Even if it's just taking a walk. I know you don't have total control of the food you are given, but you have some. In respect to portions, think about the portions they give you at school.. not huge, right? You are still a kid, don't be so hard on yourself. I know it can be tough, but you've got this. Enjoy your youth. You can follow this guy's advice if you still need it, but wait until you're an adult. Good luck to you 👍🏻

its impossible im killing myself 4 days of 2h workout with 45-1h cardio, weekends 60% uphill bike, but belly and chest fat is so hard to remove. it can be only removed if you eat almost nothing for 1-2 months. really dont know how someone can have flat stomach and 10% or lower body fat...
