Why We Are Fatter Now More Than Ever & What We Can Do About It | Mind Pump 2334

[@kristinf5495]

I just want to say 75 Hard changed my life. It was a big accomplishment to complete those tasks for 75 days and now 5 years later I am where I am because of doing that program. I was 49 and not in a great place and that was the jump start that changed my path to a much better one!

[@georgeacosta7776]

I started my health journey 20 months ago because I received a call from my physician about my blood work indicating I would have a heart attack or stroke in 6 months without lifestyle changes. I was 480 lbs with 6.9 A1C n body fat percentage of 48.7 n on high blood pressure medication. Today, I weigh 299 lbs with 5.1 A1C n body fat percentage 26% n no longer on blood pressure medication. I feel amazing and blessed to have my health. I strength training 5 times a week and 45 minutes daily walk. I love going to the gym and how i feel after working out.

I’m a nurse and when friends,colleagues and family tell me about their pains and aches, I try to suggest lifting to them for longevity and it surprising how many ppl look at my like I’m crazy. I wish ppl understood the importance!

As someone who naturally had a baby after 40, I’m happy to hear that I have a good chance of making it to 90. Interestingly, my grandma had her 6th baby after 40 and she’ll turn 92 this year.

That’s awesome ❤❤

[@MommaT-l4k]

I am a 41 y.o. female I started my fitness journey 15 months ago. I went from over 40% body fat to 23% body fat in that time. I educated myself on nutrition and exercise because I want to be healthy for the rest of my life and not just for a short time. My advice to anyone and everyone who wants to make a change is to listen to this show, get your diet in order, and follow a weight training routine ( I recommend mind pump but you do you boo)

[@melodyexploring9753]

We did the 1000 hours outside last year with other families in our neighborhood and it was so good for our kids. But I think it’s completely dependent on the neighborhood. Our previous neighborhood had kids running around all day and we moved to a new neighborhood about 45 minutes away and we rarely see any kids outside.

[@awesomeMKB11]

Thank you guys! I have been listening consistently for a couple months now and you’ve helped me focus less on the scale and more on how the workouts make me feel and how I’m getting stronger as I progress.

I started a health and fitness journey a little over a year ago. May 1st of last year is when I started. 15 days before my daughter was born. During that time I have lost over a 100lbs. I started this at 270 and I am currently at 145 and pretty soild. I am only 5'7, so I was seriously obese. I started listening to you guys about 3 months ago and I absolutely love listening to yall. I pretty much do exactly what you guys talk about and it has been so beneficial. I'd love to be able to chat with you guys sometime and pick your minds, so I can learn more. I'm 35 so I'm not getting any younger lol. Keep spreading your wisdom fellas 🙏🏾🤙🏽🙌🏽💪🏾

Mind Pump is the best! Episodes like this one are such good reminders of why we keep up these habits. Love the encouragement and inspiration…. and, of course, the entertainment. Keep it up guys! It helps!

Thank you guys for enlightening me about the superpowers of muscle. I am giving it a try it's been about 3 months and I'm starting to see the difference in terms of metabolism increasing. Will update you in the next few months when I see more results.

[@Bigmanoncampus888]

I've been dropping weight this year. Tore my pec last July and this January decided there was no reason to weigh 234lbs when I wasn't going to be benching anything heavy for a while anyway. Found you guys around that time and have consumed all the videos on your channel. I've been working out for over 15 years but alot of the info you guys put out is game changing. When it comes to my diet now, I eat shitloads of Greek yogurt every week and believe it's changed my gut health tremendously. I eat high protein mostly from beef and chicken, I eat sweet potatoes often, and the weight has peeled off me. Down from 234lbs January 3rd, to 205lbs today. Haven't been this light in about 8 years now. I feel great, and MindPump has played a big part in re instilling things I knew but hadn't practiced in a while, as well teaching me some of the new research that has come out the past decade that I hadn't heard about. Great stuff. Thanks guys.

[@josephregel1]

Great show, guys. Thanks for keeping up the hard work!

[@jeanneadams7635]

I'm 56 and just starting with strength training, I've spent several decades under the "ton of cardio and low calories", which has caused me to yo-yo diet and lose/gain weight. For me it's no longer about getting skinny it's for my health and physical longevity. Love your show, I'm learning a lot from all of you.

[@bonniephillips5933]

I struggle with a myriad of issues, but you guys have this way of making me feel like I can just break things up into small simple strategies and I can get through anything. I sometimes wish I had you holding my hand to ensure my success, but never the less I just keep trying to move in the right direction. Thanks guys!

[@dnaturalartist546]

Love your conversations. I am in healthcare and physicians/nurses get the minimal nutritional training and def not geared toward health and wellness. I learned more from my own personal study. Thank you for what you do. I am working on putting on muscle and following your program.

Im a new subscriber!!! Thank you guys for everything you do. Ive watched so many videos, trying to put the puzzle pieces together. It was cool to watch the videos from about 7 years go over the MAPS programs- and seeing where you guys are now. I have had a lot of struggle since 2021. I lost a lot of weight during covid in an unhealthy way Looking back on those photos now, I was so shredded but at the time, I didnt see myself as good enough. I understand my own psychology plays into this, it's a work in progress. but it causes me to have a really bad association towards losing body fat and feeling like it has to happen for me under extreme measure for me given that im 4'11. Since then, I have gained over 10lbs(some muscle), thing are getting better but It would mean the world to me to get to ask a question to you guys on where to go from where Im at now which is currently reverse dieting trying to repair my metabolism as much as possible, and honestly just have more peace. I feel like I wont be happy with my body unless it's through extreme measures I dont want that for me, my clients, or my future daughter if im so lucky..... I understand how I feel about myself may become her inner dialogue. Im also a fitness coach working in a company preaching sustainability. I do feel like I need guidance at this point. Thank you so much for everything you guys do. No matter what you have a lifelong fan. :)

My daughter is 8 and I recently participated in a field day at her school. Watching the kids try to do the relay races was a little sad, 10 minutes and most the kids were on the ground, some were crying. There is a serious problem with the lack of activity kids perform these days. When I was 8 we were already starting 2 a days in full pads during summer break and running through the woods and climbing trees the time between practices.

[@donnahalstead531]

When I was kid no one went to gyms or lifted weights … it was rare .. we just played sports and were active outside

[@sharonrush4344]

You guys would love the movie Midway. Mind blowing true story of the battle with the Japanese after Pearl Harbor attack. Crazy intel and the grit and bravery of the pilots was astonishing. One of the best movies I’ve ever watched. Incredible piece of history.

[@zbeatza9910]

My advice is stay active everyday, walking, stay away from your fridge and fast food, drink water more often than soda, build muscle. I stopped leaving my house and no longer workout at home since covid and penalties for leaving the house unjustified i gained 40 kg. Today, it's hard to remove habits.

[@crystaldingman773]

Great advice- now follow it!! Summer is around the corner. Start walking! Kilo by kilo the weight will start to move. Think about fitting into your old clothes and how you felt about yourself then vs now. The vast majority gained a ton of weight during the pandemic and that’s okay. The whole world flipped upside down. Try to get back on track- it sounds like you’re ready !

Use hanging band technique to imitate the tsunami bar/chaos press! 🤓💪

[@LatimusChadimus]

The way I do my chaos with a barbell is with three products, one is from Titan and they are pulling blocks, it just looks like an upside-down T that goes over the loading pin, I also have these straps you use with carabiners from GripGenie for plates with handles and the incredible UClips to hang dumbells along side. Zercher lifts like that with chains is TOP SHELF

Saw a friend from HS at the gym. Turned out he was doing 75 hard. Never saw him after he was done.

[@sharonphillips3700]

I need help PLEASE. I don’t know which program to buy. I am torn between maps 15 and beginner. I want 15 because it’s 15 minutes a day, at home. I am only able to make it to the gym on Sunday and Monday. However, although I’ve lifted over the years and know what I am doing while lifting, I lack knowledge on a lot of the basics. Also, I have only just started working out again in the past 4-6 months, progressively becoming more disciplined getting it done. (Still could use work on that though) I feel like I should do beginner but my daughter feels like I know “enough”. I am 58 with menopause belly. My arms are becoming more defined but I’m not shedding the fat. I have many clean habits but nutrition definitely needs work because I get weak.My concerns with 15 is it will be too hard for me (yet I need shorter workouts) my concerns with the beginner is that they will be too long. (Haven’t seen anything on how long they are). Can you please direct me on which route to take. If I get started and “feel” as though I can’t do something, I tend to give up. Please help.

0:35 yes, but that's not the end of the story. Less muscle due to change in macronutrient make up of the same MASS of food (you can't consume calories, still), increased amount of ultraprocessed, shelf-stable, plant based slop, increased consumption of seed oils causing inflammation and reducing structure healing abilities of the human body

I'm 37 yeara old, and im stuck in a pretty awful situation with my current body image and my relationship to workout and food. No matter what i do, i haven't been able to lose the 10kg of weight (mostly fat) which i have gained very rapidly out of no where. To cut it short, i really need your input on the diet im thinking of starting. It involves a toral of 93g of protein (all from natural source) and no grains as i feel thay quitting them may help with relief iny early hypothyroid symptoms - a total of 1200 calories approx, daily. Im want to reverse doet as my calorie intake have been pretty low for the longest time, and also very inconsistent . So ill start with this 1200 diet and increase 100 cal per week. Since this is the first time im starting reverse dieting and i feel like i struggle with understanding the concept fully, i want to know from you guys if this is the right approach and strategy? If not, then what do you suggest. Would really appreciate your response.

[@Numbb666]

Can anyone tell me how to determine if I’m over training or not? I’m constantly fatigued due to being hypothyroid and working long hours so I can’t really gauge it by that. Are there are other signs besides constant muscle soreness as was mentioned in this episode.

[@Timewaits4no1]

I don't think it's that surprising. Our calories may have not changed, but as a country we have become much more sedentary. More people sit at there jobs than ever before. Also, technology has made us lazy. You no longer have to go out to buy practically anything. If you want to be healthy, and fit, You have to make it a priority, and a part of your everyday life. I've dropped 60lbs, and am now jacked in my late 40's. It's taken me 2.5yrs to get to where I am, but I will Never go back to feeling like crap, being overweight, and completely out of shape. I hit at least 10k steps a day, with a majority of that rucking with 35lbs on my back. I work out 3-6x a week for 1-1.5hrs, along with a little cardio. I track my food, and eat a balanced high protein diet. The key is to just start where you are, and be consistent. I had to create new habits, and that takes time. Don't underestimate taking baby steps in a new direction.

It's the year 2024 so it is time to accept that around 20% of Americans are interested to care about nutrition and exercise. There is under 10% chance imo that's an obese person will change. They "went sedentary" probably sometime around 8-15 and put out the fire of interest in movement. So they quit more than it looks on the surface.
