Increasing follistatin with protein and vitamin D is an easy first step. Second step is start taking walks, just 5-10 minutes a day works wonders. Third step is just doing short and simple body weight workouts. Like start your day with doing one set of as many pushups you can, or as many squats you can. The amount of work required to see progress is vastly overstated, and nutrition is vastly understated. Get a gram of protein per pound of body weight (2.2 grams per kilo for Euros). Get 4000 IUs of vitamin D3 from supplements. Changes the game and makes progress easy.

I think this is mostly explained by a follistatin vs myostatin balance. Myostatin prevents muscle growth. The Belgian blue cows have zero myostatin signalling due to a mutated receptor. Follistatin inhibits myostatin activity, so it prevents the prevention. Double negation meaning it increases muscle growth. Things which are known to increase follistatin are: Exercise. Protein consumption. Testosterone. Vitamin D3. I think more research should be put to finding behaviors and supplements which increases it. I've only done a cursory search for what increases it, hopefully someone deep dives on the existing research on this. Perhaps even doing new research. Increasing protein consumption and vitamin D3 are really low hanging fruit and should be done before moving onto the things people dislike more, like exercise. For reference I personally eat about 200g of animal protein and 4000IUs of vitamin D3 a day.

I dropped 2 belt sizes since simply increasing my protein intake 3 weeks ago when your last video dropped. I never thought apatite could be so easily controlled. Protein, nutrients, electrolytes consumed throughout the day make it legitimately difficult to over eat.

So, after going low carb and doing a lot of fasting for a couple years, deciding to eat more protein and do more resistance training at age 59 instead of worrying about ketones was the right move after all. Oddly enough, I went in that direction (instead of trying to lose more weight) because I'd heard that by 60 it's more important to build or retain muscle mass than lose weight. PS: FWIW, since I've concentrated on protein more than ketones, I've gained weight, but I think it's mostly muscle. I do think I gained some fat too, though. That MAY have started changing recently. When I was in my 20s, I lost about 50 pounds, pretty easily, just by doing weight training and eating less junk. I had to beat diabetes this time.

You've convinced me to up my protein significantly to hopefully lose weight. I did a rough and dirty check of my protein intake and it's on average between 30-80g per day, generally on the lower end of that range. Between your last protein video and this one I am feeling confident I can actually do it. The mental trick for me is to not limit what I can eat, but to make sure I eat above a certain protein threshold (I chose 150g/day to start), and I'm hoping that how protein impacts satiety will allow me to lose weight in a stress free and managable way. I'm also considering full body strength training but want to take baby steps so I give myself a lower opportunity to revert.

As someone on the other end - getting enough calories to keep my weight from dropping is inconvenient. Like I can't be hungry or I miss my caloric goal and start dropping. I eat slightly over 200g of animal protein a day, weighing 95kg (~210lbs). Fairly fit, barely work out currently. The periods I do work out I kind of blow up with newbie gains. Generally, if it's not working you aren't eating enough protein IMO. Vitamin D3 is more impactful than you would think as well. I eat 4000 IUs a day. Forgot to add: Godspeed. Diet is way more impactful of a lifestyle change than exercise, so stick with it.

I did keto for 6 months and lost 45 lbs (I'm a 6' 290 lbs man, 40 bmi) but just couldn't maintain the diet and rebounded hard, gaining back all the weight. 2 things. I love delicious food (I HATE unappetizing food), and I hate feeling hunger. I've gotten into home cooking through covid and have some amazing recipes now (my understanding of flavor is also way better - balancing sweet, salty, acidity, bitter, umami, and spice in a wide range of ways), as well as control over texture, so I think I have tasty food covered. The thing I'm curious about is basically what you brought up. If I raise my protein levels (my plan is to have a ~80g daily boost, 2 scoops of whey power for 50g, 1 cup egg white) then up regular meal protein a bit. If I can like the flavors and can struggle to eat to my food requirements, that is a perfect situation to lose weight, because that way I can still eat some 'junkier' foods with the high protein satiety coming in to help me not binge eat. And at the end of the day, conceptually this is literally the simplest diet plan I can imagine, as the only goal is to eat high enough protein. If it fails, I simply can't imagine ending up in a worse place than food takes me right now

This video really motivates me! I’ve recently dropped my weight from 225 lbs down to 165 lbs and I’ve reversed my insulin resistance. The next step in my health journey is to completely get rid of any lingering visceral fat I still have, get leaner and put on more muscle mass. I honestly feel weak even though I’ve lost all this weight, and I know I would be so much healthier if I had more muscle. I’m gonna strive to eat at least 130 grams of protein a day and start resistance training.

Dietitian here, I agree with most things in this video; however, the implication that you can never get “too much protein” around minute 6 isn’t true. Someone suffering from kidney disease in advanced stages is recommended to have less protein than normal. Too much protein can indeed further damage the kidneys at that point. For my older adults, I often check kidney function before recommending protein drinks, or even nutrition supplements like Ensure.

I find it easier to lose weight if I eat dinner a hour earlier, Cut down on carbs and do light exercise a couple times a week. That makes me stronger.

You have to use common sense too, you can't not exercise and think a number is an indicator of health. You know deep down if you're in shape or not. And so does your family.

@@vanillaghetto There is no such thing as "big boned" people. All bones are the same size. And just because somebody is a bodybuilder doesn't mean they are healthy. They are still overweight with no mobility. In construction we call those guys "big for nothing."

Me who has very low fat or muscle Very interesting

Incredibly helpful, thank you.

I LOVE Dr Attia and Dr Lyon!

You converted me into ditching carbs and becoming an protein fanatic even if I dont lift heavy weights. Thanks a lot.

Protein and carbs are synergistic, to support and preserve each other. If you're interested in reducing your calories try bringing your fats down to 0.25g per pound of body weight per day. Dropping your carbs will reduce your glycogen you will simply be worse at training and building muscle

@@l.p.7585 Oh with carbs I mean more like noodles, bread, sweets and other junk/processed food with carbs. No ice cream anymore. I still eat tons of vegetables, fruits and oatmeal.

In my case, both. I have muscular hypotonia comirbid with autism and spent my teens and twenties overeating and being sedentary. I was over 30 when I started taking my health seriously at all.

Many people are both overweight AND lacking in strength. Building muscle is key - it boosts metabolism and helps with weight loss, making it a two-for-one solution. 💪

The growth or stimulation of growth of blood vessels would be a very interesting topic. I'm currently trying to look into it but not having much luck. It's relevant for pretty much everything in your body so i think it'd be extremely useful.

"with great weakness comes great responsibility of being weak"

Your truth puts a mirror to my unhealthy lifestyle. But I can't stop watching.

Again such a great video. Love your channel!
