EVERYONE GETS THIS WRONG ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS...

August 25, 202501:30
00:00:00
I asked my audience for their 15 most
00:00:02
popular unanswered questions about how
00:00:04
to lose fat or to gain muscle mass. The
00:00:06
first one, how do I lose weight fast?
00:00:09
But you just answered that.
00:00:10
Yeah.
00:00:10
The second one is creatine is this
00:00:12
miracle thing that everybody should be
00:00:13
taking.
00:00:14
There's almost nothing creatine can't
00:00:16
do.
00:00:16
Wow. Some statement.
00:00:18
Our next question is about PCOS. What
00:00:20
would you say to a woman struggling with
00:00:21
PCOS in terms of dietary prescription?
00:00:24
That's a damn good question, man. Can I
00:00:26
go into detail with this because a lot
00:00:28
of people are very misinformed about
00:00:30
this stuff.
00:00:31
The floor is yours.
00:00:32
Okay. So, it's important to take an
00:00:34
evidence-based approach to diet,
00:00:36
nutrition, training, supplementation
00:00:38
because if you don't, then you end up
00:00:40
wasting a lot of time.
00:00:41
So, let's start with protein. So, how
00:00:43
much protein should I be eating to gain
00:00:45
muscle?
00:00:45
What is your goal body weight?
00:00:46
It's around 90.
00:00:47
Take 90 and multiply that by there's
00:00:50
your protein target.
00:00:51
What about calorie restriction? I've
00:00:53
heard you say that 10 or 20% of your
00:00:55
calories can come from pretty much
00:00:56
anything you want.
00:00:57
Literally anything.
00:00:58
So, I could eat McDonald's or something
00:00:59
and I could still lose weight
00:01:00
theoretically.
00:01:01
That's true. And this is reflected in
00:01:03
research along with diet breaks. That's
00:01:06
one of the tactics that you can use for
00:01:08
long-term adherence to a plan. And I'll
00:01:10
explain how.
00:01:11
I also want to talk about the ketogenic
00:01:12
diet, menopause, fasting, sugars, and
00:01:14
this
00:01:15
that that always gets me, man. That that
00:01:17
picture always gets me.
00:01:18
Why?
00:01:19
I used to drink heavily. I was
00:01:21
overworked and trying to be the best
00:01:23
father and the best husband.
00:01:26
I just needed to stop.
