Dr. Mike Israetel’s Ground Rules for Losing Fat and Building Muscle at the SAME TIME

I have thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. About half way thru. I have struggled with weight loss and keeping the fat off. I am about a stockier build and have no problems building muscle. That hunger part when losing muscle hit home with me. I have always started workout plans with a diet and that has left me a severe protein deficiency as I have struggled to get the appropirate amount daily as well. This then has given me massive hunger pains that made me derail my entire goal of losing weight. I am currently in a year long diabietes prevention class and I am learning a lot of good things and ways to pace myself. This video is further proof that pacing yourself and not overwhelming the body in a bad way is the way to go. I will have to check your channel to see how beginners can get adequate protein intake as that is one thing I am concerned about when I try to lose bodyfat, is the hunger that comes with it.

What about those of us on night shift where 1 am is our 5pm?

I'm a night shift worker I guess I'm just fucked

What if you take a bong rip before you sleep

Yes, DRs WARN you about that. Those who are getting weaker amd the hair falli g put is because they are using it as a crutch not a tool to re-regulate your food amd then get off it asap. They'll be on ozempic for over a year and thats crazy

How do i get consistent sleep when we work opposit shifts to not pay for daycare. I get home from work after midnight and am up with the kids before 7am. Do naps count. By Wednesday i feel like i literally cannot function. before my oldest was in school i would get to sleep until 9am now im up around 630 every morning monday through friday. My youngest is 2

Great video!

'One foot in the grave you fucking idiot' 😂😂😂 it is true tho

I wish I could get good sleep...

Stopped watching after 5mins... because im beginner, wish me luck guys my intuition was to just have fun from exercise

I never realized sleep was that crucial that breakdown was insane !

As a neuropsychologist, I really appreciate how dr Mike takes the human psych into account when talking about weight loss and physical health. You can take a DNA test to tell you what and how much nutrients your body needs to run its most optimal self. If you can't stick to that ultra specific diet it won't matter.

I’ve been sprinting up a sand dune hill a couple times per day. How will that work?

What a luxury to be able to head for a hotel when you can't sleep. My family unit would meltdown if I did this, and that's probably true for most moms.

Debra, just don’t put dbol in your salad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I work too much trying to keep up with the economy. 6 to 8 hours of sleep has been near impossible for me

Monkeys?
Study how “monkeys” including R monkeys, does not mimic any human dietary needs. MGM, are you daft?

I'm glad someone u derstamds Mike's comedy jokes during a podcast lol haha

The sleep tips at the end are the best ever!

Any fitness "guru" that preaches about needing (and that they get) 8 hours of sleep I can't take seriously because they obviously have an easy life or fitness is their profession. Between my 12 hour shift, 1 hour one way commute, AND they want me to sleep for 8 hours. This leaves me with 2 hours to get a decent workout which is at least an hour for me to get cardio and weights, shower, eat, prep for next day, get ready for work in the morning, and not be a social outcast with my own family, it's just not feasible except on the weekends.

It's pretty de motivating to hear that my chronic inability to maintain a good sleep schedule makes it pointless that I'm trying to look after myself.

Sleep is not negotiable... my 5week old son would like to differ 😂

Sleep is the toughest part of the equation

Sleep is the toughest part of the equation

Comon dude, beeping dog shit.... are you for real? Why invite him in the firs place, he always talks like that...

When someone gives you the numerator and the denominator behind a fact ; as in, heres how people pan out across the size of a pool, they are likely not manipulating. This guy speaks truths. He maybe wrong and there but when he quotes studies he gives you perspective. Listen

Dr Mike's game reference 😂

I drive truck so I have no regular sleep schedule so I normally get 4 hours of sleep then I'm up. If I simply go back to sleep am I good or is that not worth it?

The beginner talk reminds me of white belts working up to blue belts.

Yes 🙌 on the volume and on the sleep. 🙏

The sensoring is extremely lame

Yes I’m glad they addressed this, I always get that advice from the fasting community when ever I’m trying to lose weight. I’m not just trying to lose weight, I’m trying to build muscle too. But these dudes always try to convince me that I won’t lose much and that fasting is this magical technique that loses tons of fat without losing muscle.

Dr. Mike is like a jacked Tom Hanks.

He's so right. Focusing on weight training and then meal tracking and cutting calories is so much easier.

😢 fuck im only getting 4 hours of sleep

I could listen to dr mike most nights, he's chill as

Been working out and doing nutrition for many years but Mike just brought the alpha to the pod. Great episode.

Just saying that WHEY100 and creatine will really help the hunger....!

Now make a video about how to become jacked as an insomniac, bc some people cant just sleep like that, like military personnel or people that work 3rd shift

Sleep is non- negotiable. Crying in postpartum. 😭

Such a great video man

Love this, especially the advice about sleep. You can mute the GD cuss too for those of us who are religious ;) - Subbed - looking forward to more interviews like this.

Regaring the sleep bit, it is hard with toddlers man. Fine if you are able to compensate and make sure you are guarenteed not to be disturbed in your sleep. But man! Having toddlers... My kids are 5 and 3 and they still wake up multiple times during night... Sometimes being up at 3 am spending 45 min to get my youngest to sleep and it is now 3.45. I can't just go back to bed and instantly fall a sleep after that.... Saying sleep is nonegotiable is not something you can do when having smaller kids.

I envy people who can sleep well... w/o pills I will sleep for like 2 hours... I literally can't fall asleep, there were so many nights where I watched sunrise and wonder if I will sleep before buzzer...

I needed to hear this video!
