Exercise Scientist’s Masterclass On Losing Fat - Dr Mike Israetel
Dr Mike Israetel is a Professor of Exercise and Sport Science at Lehman College and the Co-Founder of Renaissance Periodization.
If you’ve ever wondered “is this diet actually working” then you're probably not alone. However there are now scientifically proven optimal methods for losing fat in the most efficient way possible. And today we get a full breakdown of the optimal approach for fat loss from the best teacher on the planet.
Expect to learn how the physiology of fat loss actually works, whether calories actually matter in your weight loss journey, if you need to count macros when trying to lose fat, how to actually build and keep 6-pack abs, whether there are any fat loss supplements worth your time to take, how long you should stay on a diet for before taking a break and much more...

Hey Chris this was an excellent podcast as I’m back on a fat loss journey after having lost 30lbs on keto/carnivore a couple years ago and happened to put on 50lbs over the last winter. I’m now on a journey to create a diet that I can maintain indefinitely so as to lose the fat but then transition to maintenance for the rest of my life and avoid the bulk (fat bulk 😂)

I recently discovered Dr. Mike. I subscribed to his YT channel and listened to his content. I'm a 51 yr old Tongan female. I couldn't believe he said Tonga. Almost everyone knows what a Samoan is, but no one really knows us Tongan. He was spot on about our people! We do love to eat, and we are happy jolly people to hang out with. I've watched his stuff on hypertrophy, and I've downloaded the RP hypertrophy app. I don't count my calories, and I lift weights 5 to 6 days a week. I average about 15 k steps a day. Since applying what Dr. Mike says, I've gotten stronger, and I've lost fat and weight. It's so weird to lose fat and weight when I haven't really changed the way I eat. I just changed the way I exercise. I don't do cardio, but I work 12 hrs at a production type job, and that's how I get my steps in. Oh, I forgot, I also started taking creatine. For about a month or 2 ago. Thanks Dr Mike for all your useful advice!! I can bench as much as I used to in high school!! As we age, we need to lift heavy. At some point, when I stop losing weight, I'll probably change my diet more. Lol. But yup, this Pacific Islander loves to eat too much! Good thing I love lifting heavy just as much!

One of the best episodes ever! What a joyful chat to listen to. You two have quite a matching energy.
Measuring yourself along with weighing gives you a good idea of what's happening. My weight hasn't moved in 3 weeks but I've lost half an inch off my waist and put an extra KG/rep on most exercises. Tells me I've still lost fat but put a little muscle on, which is a good sign.
Rarely have I chuckled so much while learning something so useful for my health 😂 Dr. Mike is such a good storyteller, I love how he packaged info into fun. Well done!
Maaan these guys have the greatest voice for audiobooks and podcasts
I lost 18 kgs since February, thanks to Dr. Mike! At about 13-14 body fat percentage now. 3 more KGs, and I'm entering the maintenance phase, until November.
Always showing up for Dr Oz battery. Amazing show, guys.
Great timing! I'm about to finish my two decades of bulking and am finally ready to slim down.
I watch all of mikes videos and this interview was by far one of the best, information packed videos I've seen. great interview!!!
Fantastic podcast! I'm so thankful that you made this second episode with Mike, especially covering this specific topic as well. This is the exact knowledge that I was looking for and you're doing wonders giving this information away for free.
I've been into fitness and nutrition for ten years, including learning from KZread content for many years, and this is probably the best and most comprehensive video on this subject matter 💯💪 Another Modern Wisdom banger of an episode 🙏

My background is clinical nutrition, I weigh at 50 what I did in college and am just as lean and i approve this message. People assume I am genetically blessed for looking younger than my age (weight maintenance is half the battle) and I tell them it is WORK. My favorite question is “what do I eat to lose weight?” My answer is always the same: “you’re asking the wrong question.” You have to eat less. Period. End of story.

My favourite two KZread people in one place. Again. Nice one. Just watched the workout video on the RP channel. That was funny.
Trying to not tell people that my gf was on Ozempic was a nightmare. Calorie counting is great and all. She eats relatively healthy (prior to Ozempic). In saying that, she is literally black or white with diets. She cant have a middleground. She would fluctuate around 100kg, because she couldn't control 2 things. 1, not finishing her plate. Thanks Mum. 2, snacks. If she avoids snacks, she could do so for a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, the moment she breaks and has 1? She is solely eating snacks. Ozempic fixed both. Now because she has lost over 20kg in 6 months, she enjoys going to the gym more as she doesnt look as fat so she fits in more with the body size of others there. Less attention on her. For people that have control over certain things, I can imagine the hate on pharmaceuticals. In saying that, some people have actual issues with things like what I described above which makes calorie deficits hard to be sustainable.

Most people fail their diets, like he said, they don't do something that they can stick to long term. Find a "diet" you can stick to for the rest of your life, not just temporarily. Make it a lifestyle, and the weight will stay off. Great video, Mike always spitting facts.

Waiting to hear about vo2 max, longevity. There are differences between strolling, brisk walking, jogging, running, sprinting, etc.
Training abs is something I find helpful as a woman who wants a particular physique but doesn’t want to get down into unhealthy body fat percentages (Sub 20%-ish). Having my abdominal muscle be a bit thicker is helpful for that, so I train them like I would any other muscle for hypertrophy. Full range of motion, 3-ish sets of 10-20 reps (rep range that works for me) of 2 exercises 2x per week. Also helps because (1) I train jiu jitsu so being able to move powerfully through kind of a v-up range of motion is helpful. (2) I climb so having a lot of endurance through a leg raise type of motion is helpful. Train for your goals. Doing some random half hour or hour long ab routine is, for a lot of people, just taking time that could be better spent elsewhere.
I’d like for you to have him back for an episode on building strength
