It was an amazing interview. I've been vegan for over 10 years and never got abs my metabolism is super slow too. I get full by eating little yet same weight and look for years lol. No oils salt sugar only a whole foods plant based diet, you nailed 100% every person is different so there's no a single plan fits all thing. I wish i could get my break someday and get the abs of my dreams 😅

​@@KinaStaruI thought exactly the same as you 9 months ago. Try fasting min 14 hours at least every other day, track your calories, hit abs exercise at least 2 x/week and keep up with your workout schedule. You will see them popping out in no time and the fun part is as soon as you see them, you will want to keop going naturally.

According to the machine used at the gym I'm now losing muscle not fat. I'm around 60 kgs. I was 75 kgs and lost over a 14 months. I'm getting 60-90 grams of protein (cronometer). Weight bearing x 2 pilates x 2 walking distance x 2 and a fitness class. I'm 58 female. Started HRT to help with bones and muscles. Anything else? I'm wfpb no sos. No alcohol or smoking. Feeling great. Just need to keep my muscles.

@MammothMorals

Ай бұрын

What do you mean by weight bearing? Like weight lifting? If not then you want to incorporate it into your routine. Either free weights or body weight training. Muscle is more taxing on the body and if you aren't using it then the body will see as excess weight and will naturally burn it first. If you want to keep it, use it.

@maximesigouin

Ай бұрын

Hey @skippy6462, two things I would adjust, Bump up your protein intake to 120 g a day (75 kg X1.6g of protein per kg of bodyweight) and make sure you aren't too steep in a calorie deficit. The deeper you go in a calorie deficit the more important it is too consume all your protein and resistant train hard. Because your body is more likely to go catabolic in that environment (Where it eats its own muscle). I hope this helps

Very interesting metabolism explanations! Love it! 💪

If you have a pound of muscle and a pound of fat, both weigh the same. Muscle does not weigh more that fat. Muscle is more DENSE than fat. Have a pound of muscle sitting next to a pound of fat, muscle looks smaller because it is more dense, but weighs the same.

@maximesigouin

Ай бұрын

Exactly which is why people can sometimes weight close to the same as when they start their fat loss but look completely different and their clothe fit better too

Sorry, I can’t stand when people say a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat. No, it does not. A pound of muscle weighs the same as 1 pound of fat. Hence, they both weigh 1 pound. I’m constantly trying to get my fourth graders to understand that. She lost a bunch of weight, Fantastic! Then she gained some weight by putting muscle on.

I totally get it, 1 lbs of fat or 1 lbs of muscle or 1 lbs of feathers is 1 lbs ahah. Muscle is just more dense and takes up less space, which is why people will have a better composition

A cancer tumor can take up to 20 yrs to be big enough to feel or see. Know that by that time, you have a big, yet short, road ahead. Better to be wholefood plantbased as early in your life you can, not wait until you are at the end of the tumor's growth, dont wait to become vegan. That means if you get a tumor at age 60, it could have began up too age 40, so it is never to late to get started as your vegan diet will build your immune system to be a stronger soldier against those cancer cells when they are small or a single cell. The reason it takes so long to see it is that the cancer cells double every many days or months depending on the 'type' of cancer. Lets say the one that you have doubles every 4 months. That means in 4 months there are only 2 cancer cells. In 4 more months it is 4 cells, if keeps doubling. By 10 yrs it is getting bigger and the doubling is growing the tumor to a larger size. The slowest cancer type takes 20 yrs of doubling to get big enough to know its there, but it keeps doubling. The Jobs computer guy that died of cancer had a 20 yrs type, so he had the cancer growing from the time he was dealing with chemicals in his job. He tried to go vegan at the last couple of months but it was too late. Just think if 20 yrs prior he was vegan, his immune system would have been much greater and he may have been able to kill that one cancer cell. Note that we all have rouge cancer cells at all times, but our immune system kills them. When you get a cancer tumor it is because the immune system was unable to kill it in time. Go Vegan as soon as you can to grow your immune system to great lengths!

This revelation creates a moral and health-related dilemma, causing the individual to question their long-held beliefs and dietary choices. The term is a blend of "carnivore" (an animal that feeds on flesh) and "conundrum" (a confusing or difficult problem).

Good day Felix that is relative to the service you are looking for. Our custom coaching programs starts as low as $247/month where you get your own health team that will customize a plan for you. I just spoke to someone today that wanted to join our program that was spending $600/month on the fat loss drug (similar to Ozempic) which is only providing a temporary solution because as soon as you stop the drug you will put the weight back on because you haven't dealt with the underlying issues (Food behavior, dealing with bad habits, consistency with fitness, mental discipline, etc...) so for a fraction of the cost of the drug you can get the problem handled. So it's all relative to what you compare it too. I don't coach people to lose the weight I coach people to lose it and KEEP IT off. Because the alternative outcome is that people don't deal with the weight issues and continue to yo-yo diet and continue to cause more damage to their health. Which if you live in the United-States (I do now) one trip to the hospital would be FAR more expensive then the investment to work with a team like ours. It's about if you want to invest in yourself now or pay to side effects later which are more painful and far more expensive. I'm sure you figured out that you struck a sensitive cord with me because if I had that mindset my late partner would have live only potentially lived 1 year instead of 5 if I cheaped out on her health. This is your health we are talking about and if you are someone that can read information online and implement it right away without any issues in consistency for a lifetime then that is beautiful you don't need a coaching program like ours. What we do work on with our clients is helping them with consistency, education, a clear structured plan that removes the guess work of wether this is going to work or not (Because we guarantee every single one of our transformations). We help them with their mindset, self-sabotage, not feeling enough and how to get back on track when they go off track. We help them speed up their metabolism so they can keep the weight off after and not end up like 95% of americans who put the weight back on within 6-12 months after having lost it. I tried to make the program at a lower cost but I have to pay the incredible health team that will be coaching you and in order to ensure an amazing quality of service and stand behind the work that we do (Which allows us to guarantee our transformations) we have to charge an amount that allows us to run, to continue to operate and to continue to service the world. Lastly we donate to cancer patients monthly directly as I don't want any organization taking a percentage of it away. To help support them on their cancer journey, because I know what it's like to go through it and I will help wherever I can. I understand that it might not be for everyone financially and that is ok. I recommend that everyone who cannot do our program to follow me on social media as I always provide free content to help people in the transformation journey :) When the time is right for you or anyone reading this we will be happy to serve you and help you on your transformation ❤

Ahah I love these comments, I'm fitter and leaner than 98% of the population and can outlift, out run, out swim, out bike a lot of people. I also use to be 240 lbs really jacked and lost all of it to do modeling and then fell into athletic sports so I never had a need to get "Bigger again"

A pound of fat weights the same as a pound of muscle. You are changing the mass. A pound weighs a pound no matter what.

Over the past few months, I have informally become almost a vegan for two reqsons: can't afford meat or seafood & my absolute love of veggies! But as a 76 yr old who used to quite fit, trained to become a recreational rower for over q decade. That was 15 yrs ago & stopped my favourite sport! Up until a year ago, when I started to become vegan, my muscle strength was pretty good. but this last few months, I have lost muscle mass!! And now I know how critical it is NOT to lose muscle mass as you age. Now what to do? I am very focussed on the nutrition of everything that I eat! Help😢

@Kayte...

Ай бұрын

What are you doing to build muscle? Diet doesn't build muscle, working the muscle builds muscle. If you don't use it, you lose it and it takes more than daily normal activity. Compare how active you are today compared to 10 years ago. Retirement is just a job change, not an excuse to become sedentary. Our new job is our body maintenance. If you are at all like me, you're tired of working and would like to relax. We can do both though because we don't have to put in an 8 hour day to stay fit. I'm not assuming you aren't doing activity to build muscle, just providing my 2 cents worth in case this is the situation.

@ZmogusJaponija

Ай бұрын

As recreational ex-rower I'd like to comment. First of all - how you measure that you lost muscle mass? You cant loose lots of muscle mass in few months, but you can loose LOTS of fat from your body, so the size goes down for sure. But you have to measure strenght. If you lift the same weight and have energy - all is good. Secondly, as a 76 year -old you have to 1) stimulate the muscle more often than in younger years. So - resitance training is a must. 2) Adequate amout of protein. At your age I'd say aim at 1 - 1.2g per lean body mass. So if you eat plant based - ar you tracking your macros?

Thank you for sharing that Gloria, I would say look at three components as we coach people between 60 and. 80 all the time and this is a common situation. 1. Make sure you are consuming enough calories per day, when people under eat too much they will lose muscle mass faster. 2. Make sure to incorporate some resistance training 3 times a week ideally to retain and build more lean muscle mass as it declines with age and if we don't put the body in a environment where it has to use those muscle and get them stronger it will just go the opposite direction. 3. Put a little emphasis on plant proteins (around 1.2 to 1.6g per kg of bodyweight per day) to help ensure there is enough building blocks (amino acids from protein) to help with the recovery :) I hope this helps, as these three things is what has helped all of our members over 60 build lean muscle and not have a decrease like most people

I am not all that hungry & feel full & sastiated quickly. So it can be difficult to eat the appropriate amount of protein. I have almost completely weaned off sugar of all types. This is a great video that is so important for seniors! Muscle mass really helps to stop seniors from falling! feign

Haha Maxime you were paid $11 an hour and weekly $300 in America which I think was not bad. I was paid $8/hr in 2010, $9 in 2011, $10 in 2012 in Sydney and surprisingly it never did exceed $10. My hourly pay stayed at $10 in 2013 too. I was supposed to earn $25/hr and I worked for 16 hrs a day. It's a bad luck to be horribly underpaid and the businessmen of such kind are always looking for the people they can take advantage of. That is what happens to the 3rd world people in the first world countries. And that 'Dream big' slogan of yours' is quite big for me. Chuck is ok but I liked him more when he was fat. Don't dream big. Dream small and achieve big, and that makes you happy.
