I’m all about popcorn myself, and I’ve noticed since it’s become a staple in my diet, I’ve been dropping weight and seeing my body change like crazy. This dude knows what he’s talking about

The Misogi Challenge is an ancient Japanese ritual that involves doing something challenging once a year to define the year and help you become a better version of yourself.

I appreciate when people understand we all operate differently. If I eat breakfast before 11 or noon my day is ruined. Brain fog and cravings all day. When I wait until I'm hungry to eat, I can get a full day's work done before my first meal at noon.

Mindless food consumption. I know about that. Eating a whole jar of peanut butter. I've done that. Changing habits gradually is a good idea. Accountability for me is keeping promises to myself to do what I need to do to stay healthy. This was a very informative conversation. Thanks to both of you.

Re fractal eating: I remember reading that the philosopher J Krishnamurti, recommended to “skip every seventh meal” to one of his students who wanted to lose weight.
This nicely programs the fractal approach in a way that you won’t forget or duplicate days. And it gives your system six predictable meals.

if we KNOW what to do, but still cannot do it, usually there is an underlying emotional issue like stress or self esteem or depression that is holding us back from health. If you know what to do but just cant seem to do it, it may be good to find a therapist or coach or supportive mentor 🖤

I love the idea of doing something exceptionally hard so that when you go back to your goal it's easier, that's genius in every aspect of life.

This is a great interview. I admire this guys calm disposition. All that he has discussed I agree with as these are principles I live by. I have gotten lean and just have a touch of fat to get off and I am presently doing his last point hoping to get it off this weekend. I am happy to know I am on the right track and I have been super disciplined at it. I am saving this video. Love ❤it!

Thank you for introducing to this guest. I have been helped by your videos and especially appreciate the intelligent and focused discussion you had w/Marcus.

Marcus is an awesome source for fitness related topics.

Having such a low body fat percentage, and being able to sustain it for so long, is impressive. However, we should ask whether such an aim is even worthwhile, given that for many guys, having such low body fat starts to adversely effect testosterone levels and overall vitality. That seems like a lot to sacrifice for having an aesthetic edge. Granted, for some men, 8 percent does not negatively effect androgen levels or vigor, but for many it does. I think for most guys, staying between 10 to 13 percent, is far more sustainable. That percentage of body fat will not only preserve hormonal levels, maintain performance, and still keep you looking good as long as you amass a good amount of muscle for your frame, but it allows for some dietary discretion so that you can actually enjoy life.

The points brought up by Marcus are all really excellent. Thanks for this.

I like the idea of an annual re-focus/goal setting for long term maintenence. I can see the psychological benefits.

[albertgammon]

As someone who maintains 7-8 pcnt bodyfat year round I liked the video and agree with most of the suggestions except eating big in the morning and decreasing the size of your meals as the day goes on. I do exactly the opposite and this decreases late night cravings. Food for thought;)

[MacheRodriguez-oekz]

[Amy-datamama]

Thanks Thomas! You and Marcus make a great combination. Fun to listen to and great, practical advice. Have him on again in the future!

[JohanFitFoodie]

Fasting in the morning definitely is my favorite, did a 24 hr fast and feel on weekends it's a perfect way to accelerate fat loss or get back on track after an intensive work week. Then saving most carbs for night to ensure good sleep 💤😴 If going too low on carbs in the evening I feel I sleep badly and wake up 😢

[Rpan]

Marcus & Thomas are beasts! Love both your videos! Great interview! Both impressive guys!

[johntravis]

I get plateaus on carnivore. I respect this guy for trying it
That being said, he said 100g fiber. I want to know how much gram protein he does to compare
TBH I want to know it all. His macros, fat mass, muscle mass, height. Nosy AF but yeah
