1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,720 We need to find another song that goes with rolling like I 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,120 like. To Adele rolling in the deep, 3 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:07,600 rolling in the isn't there a joke? 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,200 There's a joke that was if you're like in a canoe or inner 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,640 boat and you toss your laptop overboard, What's what do you 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,120 call it? You're like, oh, it's Adele 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,200 rolling in the deep. Some stupid joke. 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,880 I've never I messed up the punchline. 9 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,720 No, I haven't heard that you're playing Footsie with me down. 10 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,360 There, that is not me. Sure you. 11 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,840 No, I'm on the cross beam. And over my, my legs, over your 12 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,320 foot. So when you adjust your foot, 13 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,520 it's like stroking my calf, kind of like you're welcome. 14 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,760 All right, let's dive into a lot of stuff here. 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,800 We have, we're doing like a little screen share action. 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,280 So we got our Dexas pulled up or my Dexa pulled up. 17 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,680 You did the shape scale too, right? 18 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,040 I did shape scale but I didn't do any metabolic. 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,960 OK. Respiration or anything like 20 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,080 that like you did. Yeah. 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,080 So today's podcast is kind of data heavy. 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,120 It is what is today. Today is the 9th, 9:00. 23 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,080 So we've got you and I just got DEXA scans done. 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,920 I also got a resting metabolic rate calculation done and we 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,600 both got shape scale, shape scan scales. 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,080 Shape scales. Yeah, shape, scale. 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,760 Done, which is like that 3D rendering of your physique and 28 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,440 then it changes like you can go and get multiple scans out and 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,520 it shows where the changes were, whether you gained or lost or 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,400 all that good stuff. So we got them. 31 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,680 We also got a whole bunch of blood work done, but we're going 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,280 to wait to go over that blood work until a later date because 33 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,040 I'm also starting an experiment right now. 34 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,200 You're deep into prep right now, so lots of stuff to talk about. 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,480 We've been restocking the bricks like crazy. 36 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,160 We just restocked bells, brownie batter, so that one's back on 37 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,880 the same. So let's start with your DEXA 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,080 scan results. DEXA scan and we use the 39 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,120 facility here in farming, the facility here in Farmington. 40 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,120 You got to edit that out too. Our doors open too, by the way. 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,160 The the new there's a new facility in Farmington. 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,600 It is a Dexafit branded franchise. 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,400 Dexafit, which is the GE brand DEXA machine. 44 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,480 Which is, which is also cool because it all syncs to a 45 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,640 Dexafit app and database and platform and all that kind of 46 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:20,840 stuff. So you can actually pull up all 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,040 your previously entered in scans. 48 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,600 You can see the trend lines, you can see it gives you your 49 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000 biological age based on number of factors, gives you all these 50 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,040 different things that you can actually track and trend from 51 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920 scan to scan to scan. Anyways, yeah, so we haven't 52 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,160 pulled up on our phones. I'm a couple four or five weeks 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,120 out from my first show, but my main show isn't until September, 54 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,600 so I know I've got a long ways to go. 55 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,480 The the road is long. My body fat came in at 11.4% 56 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,840 which is roughly 2% higher than my at home in body which is kind 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,640 of where they seem to flux. Is your in body measure the same 58 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,040 as my in body here? No, this one here is different 59 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,720 too. How much variation? 60 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,120 I think yours reads lower here, but it's on a different surface. 61 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,360 It's a different unit. I do it at a different time of 62 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,320 the day. Like anytime I do it here, I'm 63 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,720 already, I've already worked out, I'm fed, I'm I've drank 64 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,520 water. I when I do it at home, I try to 65 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,680 not have anything in me yet. And it's at a certain time of 66 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,120 day, minimal clothing, all that kind of stuff. 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,040 So there's too many variables to kind of really weigh yours and 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,360 mine against one another, but they seem to be a little lower 69 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,760 than what dex is, don't you think? 70 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,320 Yeah, yeah, my, I think I did mine just now or I didn't mind 71 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,320 the day we did our DEXA, I think mine showed like 13 and my DEXA 72 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,760 was like 14 1/2. So it's within, Yeah, it's 73 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,120 within one or two percent usually. 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,720 It's pretty close, yeah. But my biological age on the 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Dexfit app shows me at 35 years, which is 9 to 10 years under my 76 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,440 actual real age. And one of the other cool things 77 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,520 on here is it gives you your overall body score and we're 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,120 still hanging out at A+. So one of the cool things about 79 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480 the Farmington location here too, is Jerry takes the time to 80 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,560 go through all of your results and really breaks it down into 81 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,640 everything that's relevant and important. 82 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Things you can work on, things that are trending good, things 83 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,079 that may be trending poorly. I didn't really have anything 84 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,519 that was trending poorly. I did have a little bit of 85 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,480 visceral fat in there, but that could have been just something 86 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:27,400 funky because I've had way lower visceral fat readings from 87 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,160 previous DEXA scans. Were you leaner in the past when 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,440 your visceral fat was trending lower? 89 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,120 Yeah, yeah. So I mean overall body comp was 90 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,360 was at a different stage too. So, but I had a lot of muscle 91 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,280 was very symmetrical from left to right. 92 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,320 It's cool. It's really neat, It's great 93 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,040 information and we'll just keep doing them. 94 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,120 I'll probably do another one here in the next couple months 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,160 as we get closer and closer. Yeah, having him like freaking 96 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,640 in our backyard is super nice because we can get all that all 97 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,360 that tested on a regular basis as opposed to having to drive 3 98 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,760 hours like I was previously it kind. 99 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,120 Of a lot of. My most of my body composition 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,000 DEXA scans were done at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock and they 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,360 do not sync up with Dexafit. So most of my data is not in the 102 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,160 Dexafit app. So all of my 2023 prep data when 103 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,920 I get out of 3.9, none of that shows any of the Dexafit stuff, 104 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,240 which kind of sucks. But going forward I'll be able 105 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,080 to test all that for future preps and stuff. 106 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,280 So I'm going to pull mine up and this should be showing on chips 107 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,360 as well and then you can see it here. 108 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,200 I'm 22 years young apparently. What's your actual age? 109 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,200 33. OK, so you're at 11 years old. 110 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880 Or yeah, so I don't know what it's basing that off of. 111 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,720 Let's see what Learn More says. I don't put a whole lot of stock 112 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,600 in that generally. I don't think it's got a whole 113 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,440 lot of accuracy to it. It's just kind of one way that 114 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,040 it gauges your health. But it'll show summary. 115 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,040 Let's see here. Metabolism, 1836. 116 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,160 That's because you did an RMR or did you do a BMR? 117 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,400 I did RMR and then it kind of estimates BMR based off of that 118 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:06,160 body scores A he said mine probably would have been a plus 119 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,920 but mine was showing visceral fat too. 120 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,040 That was the way it knocked me on. 121 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,120 Was fair but I want to get an MRI scan done because I think 122 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,800 that's the like a cross-sectional MRI of the 123 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,240 abdominal analysis is going to be the really best way to tell 124 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,800 what your actual visceral fat is. 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:29,120 Lean Mass 148 lbs. What is your? 126 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,000 That's your total body lean mass. 127 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,920 Yeah, Yeah. And then if I go to body comp 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,080 here, there's my A score and then it kind of shows the trend. 129 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,040 So I guess I've done 3 scans in the past that do sync up with 130 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,880 the Dexafit body fat. What's the date of that? 131 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,800 Most Oh, January. No, this is January. 132 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,200 So June 5th was the one that we just did. 133 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,160 July 27th of 23. OK, so there's a 9.9% and then 134 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,960 August 20th, 22 was 16. That must have been pre prep, 135 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,760 post prep or like yeah. That's exactly what it was. 136 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:15,240 And then July was I think I started my prep slightly before 137 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,560 that. So, but yeah, all of my prep 138 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,960 data was before I didn't have the Dexafit data on there. 139 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:26,080 And it's got lean mass, yeah, 148 lbs total. 140 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,120 And then belly fats. That's the visceral fat and AG 141 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800 ratio. And there's one of the things 142 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,960 that he wanted to point out. I don't remember what it was, so 143 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:50,280 yeah, I don't remember. But basically he was showing 144 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:57,840 that some people, so the metabolizing fat for fuel versus 145 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,600 carbohydrates for fuel. And he was like, of all the 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,760 people he's tested, mine's the only one that he's seen where it 147 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,080 was like 90% fat, 10% carbs, whereas most people are like 148 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,680 skewed the other way, like 90%. That's got to be something in 149 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760 your RMR results because I wouldn't have gotten anything 150 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,840 like that. Yeah, I don't know where that 151 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,680 synced. So get out of your body Cam 152 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,080 screen, body comp screen, there you go. 153 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,280 Somewhere in there maybe? Maybe. 154 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,200 Yeah, here armor. OK, so this was the rest of 155 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,280 metabolic rate. So basically I was sitting in a 156 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600 chair for 10 minutes and then I just they were measuring the 157 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,880 oxygen and CO2 that I was exhaling and breathing at rest. 158 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:41,520 So resting metabolic rate is 1836 and then. 159 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,520 That's with 0 activity. Zero activity. 160 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,800 Literally just sitting in the lounger. 161 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:51,120 And then let's see here, OK, here we go. 162 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Primary burn more fat to carbohydrates of energy. 163 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,520 So yeah, 90% fat, 10% carbohydrates there. 164 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,480 And then I've only done this test 1, so there's not really 165 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,280 anything to see. Now this is kind of skewed here 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,680 because this is showing my total daily energy expansion of around 167 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:08,720 2200 calories. But this is not taking into 168 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:16,000 account any training at all because he put in, let me see if 169 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,120 I put this in. So yeah, I normally put 170 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,400 moderately active for myself, so about 2800 calories because I am 171 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,080 working at a computer more often than not. 172 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,360 So yeah, I mean, my maintenance is right around 3000 calories in 173 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,920 reality. So this is pretty close, Pretty 174 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,680 close. Sweet. 175 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720 So yeah, that's the data there. And then the other thing is the 176 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,600 shape scale. So do you see all this on your 177 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,640 end to chip? Alright, so you and I both got 178 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,200 this and this kind of, it's kind of cool. 179 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,600 You sit on or you stand on this scale and this, this camera 180 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,680 rotates around you 360° high and low and then it body maps you, 181 00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:57,240 it tells you what your weight is. 182 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,600 It guesstimates your body fat. So I got them done at the same 183 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,080 time. So my DEXA body fat was 14.5. 184 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,400 This is guesstimating body fat of 16.4. 185 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,920 So there's a little bit of variation there, but what's cool 186 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,680 about this is it heats maps, heat maps where changes are. 187 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,680 So red means you're gaining, blue means you're losing. 188 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,880 So I don't know what I was doing for form exercise. 189 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,400 Yeah, thanks going on. My right form. 190 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,320 Are you right-handed? I was. 191 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,400 I don't know. What's going on there either? 192 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Looks like you have tennis elbow. 193 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,640 It shows your, but see, it's all jacked up too, because that kind 194 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,000 of showed like it was messing up the scan. 195 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,120 And then you can heat map. So yeah, there's the heat map 196 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,800 functionality and then you can graph it out or you can compare 197 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,280 and trippy. It is very cool. 198 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,480 Yeah. The first time you went though 199 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,840 it, it mis measured one of your extremities, didn't it? 200 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,480 Was it an arm? Yeah, it's. 201 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,480 'Cause it but it tries to visually measure actual 202 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,560 circumference. Right. 203 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,520 So, oh, that's this another thing. 204 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:13,120 So if I look at so if you tap on these, it'll like show your 205 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,040 circumference measurements, which is pretty cool. 206 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,000 Yeah, but you had one I think the first time that. 207 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,160 Yeah, the first one was all jacked up a little bit skewed. 208 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,720 You can also have it check the volume so it it measures like 209 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,760 the volume within a given region so you can kind of see how 210 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,480 things are changing. There, what's the volume of your 211 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160 butt cheeks? The volume of a butt cheeks is 212 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:37,600 441.4 cubic inches, so quite a bit of junk in the trunk. 213 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,040 But where I can see this being efficacious for people is like 214 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,360 if you're getting a body scan on a somewhat regular basis, you 215 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,640 can actually see what's growing, what shrinking, and then have 216 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,920 like some pretty actionable data there. 217 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,760 So pretty, pretty insightful way, way beyond just the body 218 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,200 bathroom scale for sure. All right, there's that. 219 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,000 Let me just shop. Stop sharing my screen here, 220 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,720 chip around. All right, stop mirroring there. 221 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Now let's talk about. Well, you got, we got a lot of 222 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,760 this stuff done proactively because you're starting a. 223 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,120 Yes. So you and I like you're in 224 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,120 prep. You've been in prep since 225 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,960 beginning of the year. You and I got some baseline 226 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,480 blood work done in January, then you and I just got recently more 227 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,680 blood work done to get a baseline because I'm about to 228 00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:26,640 start an experiment and you wanted to get blood work done to 229 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,160 see where you're at this point, the prep. 230 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,760 I was wanting to lose some weight. 231 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,560 I lost about 2022 lbs over the course of the past few months 232 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,560 since the beginning of the year because I was too fat. 233 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,920 Right now I'm pretty much where I want to be. 234 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200 Target weight, target body fat at around. 235 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Well, I ate a bunch this weekend, so I'm up a little bit 236 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,000 from water weight on that. But all that, same, pretty much 237 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,240 where I want to be. So I'm back into experimentation 238 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720 mode. This sugar diet phenom has been 239 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,600 going ballistic, as everybody knows. 240 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,160 So Nick Norwich actually reached out to me. 241 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,080 He's like, hey, let's do a, let's do an experiment. 242 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,160 N = 5 experiment. I got a few other people on 243 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,920 board. The main mechanism of action of 244 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,640 this FGF 21 hormone is not so much the sugar that people are 245 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,760 eating, but it's the reduction in protein and amino acids 246 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,880 because that limits the secretion of that FGF 21 247 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,440 hormone. And there's been studies done 248 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,320 that actually showcase in a, you know, high fat ketogenic diet, 249 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:26,000 there's actually more of that circulating FGF 21 hormone than 250 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,080 is present in a high carbohydrate, sugary based diet. 251 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,720 So I'm OK, let's peel the curtain back and let's do an 252 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,080 experimentation here. My main goals to build muscle 253 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,520 and you know, be in a building phase at this point. 254 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,480 So I'm not going to do anything too drastic. 255 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,200 This is going to be a five week study. 256 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,120 And I'm basically going to be targeting A4 to 1 ketogenic 257 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,880 ratio, so very, very high fat relative to protein. 258 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,560 And we'll see what happens to my baseline caloric intake and 259 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,080 maintenance intake in light of that macro split. 260 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Because just kind of rewind things a bit further, the main 261 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,920 reason people are supposedly losing weight with this sugar 262 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920 diet is because protein is left minimal. 263 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,800 So FGF 21 hormone is increased that increases metabolic rate of 264 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,880 about 500 to 600 calories or so. And people have found that they 265 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,280 can eat more food while still being in a caloric deficit per 266 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,440 that increase in expenditure metabolic rate. 267 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,480 So I'm going to, I've basically spent the last few weeks getting 268 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,520 a baseline established and my baseline's around 3000 calories. 269 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,240 If I'm eating that, I'm holding pretty stable. 270 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,600 So in theory if I was to maintain 3000 calories but at 271 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,240 that 4 to 1 ratio, which would only be consuming about 7075 272 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:53,080 grams of protein for me, then I would start losing body fat. 273 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,840 So I would need to basically increase my caloric intake by 274 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,960 another 5 or 600 calories to maintain the same weights at 275 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,160 that 4 to 1 ratio of intake. Does that make sense? 276 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,960 Because you're trying to offset the influx in metabolic rate. 277 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120 Yeah. Now I've skewed things a little 278 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,920 bit because I was in a bit of a deficit to 2500 calories to lose 279 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,240 that 20 lbs. And then I spent a week kind of 280 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,720 at 3000 and the higher fat ratio just to kind of get things 281 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,840 acclimated. But then this past weekend, I 282 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,440 wanted to like have a intuitive couple days before I started 283 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,800 really tracking things for this. So I ate probably 5000 calories 284 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,120 each day Saturday and Sunday. And now I'm up 5 lbs. 285 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,400 But the high fat ratio starts today for me. 286 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,320 So I'm going to basically re establish that baseline and see 287 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,840 how my body responds at about 4000 calories of intake. 288 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,280 Because for me, I think it's important to see to actually be 289 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,280 satiated throughout this as well because that's like the biggest 290 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,840 selling point of the sugar diet is get leaner, eating so much 291 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,560 sugar and actually feeling full. Like I think that's like the 292 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,960 main thing that they're suggesting. 293 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,920 So I wanted to push the calories even higher to actually have 294 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,320 some degree of satiety through it all. 295 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,800 But man, 4000 calories at 4 four to one ratio is like like this 296 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,640 is my macro plant today are. You going to be like 300 grams 297 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:20,440 of fat or what? And more so if I was to hit 4036 298 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,200 calories a day. That would be. 121 grams of 299 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,720 protein, 34 grams of carbs, 381 grams of fat. 300 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,760 And that's still not even really. 301 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,560 That's not quite a four to one though yet, is it? 302 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,760 So that's 12% protein, 3% carbs, 84% fat. 303 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,400 I need to be at like 86%. Yeah. 304 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,240 So I've got to tweak it a little bit further. 305 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,760 But just that is 2 morning coffees with eight tablespoons 306 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,720 of heavy cream and two tablespoons of ghee. 307 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,360 Meal one is 2 tablespoons of ghee and two keto bricks. 308 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,960 Meal 2 is 4 eggs, 4 lamb, 4 ounces of ground lamb cooked in 309 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,840 three tablespoons of olive oil and two tablespoons of butter. 310 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,520 So like not. Not a lot of oh. 311 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,760 Man, you know. Substance and protein by any 312 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,480 means. But it'll be super satiating. 313 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,520 Yeah, but man, I like, I like texture too. 314 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,160 Like, I like tearing into like some meat, like steak. 315 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,000 Like these past two days when I was just eating intuitively, I 316 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,920 ate a bunch because I've been tracking things pretty strictly 317 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,960 for the past six months. So I wanted to intentionally 318 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,040 just take a breather from that. And I probably ate 5000 calories 319 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,920 each day easy and a lot of meat, you know, I just like eating 320 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,480 meat. But when I eat too much meat, I 321 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,440 get fat, which totally flies in the face of what all these 322 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,840 people that are like advocating for super, super high protein or 323 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,240 saying like you can't get fat out for just protein. 324 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,600 But that's totally inaccurate. I mean, I've done. 325 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,000 I think we both have. Yeah, I mean, protein's great. 326 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,240 I'm a huge advocate for protein, but like to suggest that you 327 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320 can't get fat. Eating too much protein is 328 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,840 totally acid. Yeah, it's not a free. 329 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,320 A lot of people call it a free mackerel. 330 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,360 You can just over just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it. 331 00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,280 But back when I did the Bro Diet and all that kind of stuff too, 332 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,680 man, I was probably one of those 350g plus protein consumers, you 333 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,880 know, like you just, that was the thing. 334 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,840 Just shovel it down. You're not hungry. 335 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,360 You feel like crap eating all that protein, you know, just 336 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:14,200 chicken breast and Turkey and lean cuts. 337 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,760 Joints are hurting more. Oh yeah, it's just you feel 338 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,600 sluggish and bloated and you're just like a walking marshmallow 339 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,320 man. Yeah, I'm, I'm not a fan of it. 340 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,040 I'm not a fan of this much fat relative protein either. 341 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,200 Like I like the sweet spot in between, but for the sake of 342 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,800 experimentation, we'll try it and see what happens. 343 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,440 Well, that's I mean, essentially that's the sugar diet is crazy 344 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,000 excessive amount of calories coming from sugar carbs, so. 345 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,480 You're. Going to try to off. 346 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,760 You're doing the opposite end of the spectrum with a crazy amount 347 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,040 coming from fat just to prove a point. 348 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,200 What are you expecting to happen? 349 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,120 What do you think? Well, I'm I'm. 350 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,880 Going so much more aggressive with the calories and I probably 351 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,960 should have like not had those two days where I just ate 352 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,640 intuitively and put on 5 lbs. But again, a lot of it's water 353 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,120 weight. But for me, like, man, we could, 354 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,120 we could have a whole conversation on psychology of 355 00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:06,440 fooding, of eating, and maybe we should. 356 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,200 But like before we talk about that, let's just talk about what 357 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,200 I think is going to happen. So I think at 4000 calories, I'm 358 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,760 probably still going to gain a little bit of weight because 359 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,240 that is pretty aggressive for me. 360 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,440 But it'll be minimal relative to what I would be gaining if those 361 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,640 same 4000 calories are coming from more protein. 362 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:30,320 And I feel like my level of fat metabolism is going to be 363 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,320 through the roof. I've been testing my glucose and 364 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,040 ketones just on a whim in light of this, this experiment coming 365 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,360 up and my my ketones and glucose are never really that 366 00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:44,280 impressive. But as of late they've been like 367 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,440 typically 8090 glucose and 2.4 ketones, which is pretty high 368 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,560 for someone that's been as fat adapted as I have for as long as 369 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080 I have. So that's promising in that 370 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,960 regard. So, yeah, I, I just expect, you 371 00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:05,040 know, good cognitive function and, you know, like a deep level 372 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,040 of satiety from that fat ratio. But I'm going to be missing a 373 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,080 bunch of chicken wings, man. I I'm going to crash a whole 374 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,320 bunch of chicken wings and this is all. 375 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,720 Said and then. You know when I crash like 376 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,360 starburst and gummy worms and some. 377 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,120 No, no, no, that's that's the thing, man. 378 00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:22,280 Like I, I don't ever eat bad food, like ever. 379 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,400 Like I ate in two of these past two weeks, these past two days 380 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,320 and I was just getting like brisket and it's. 381 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,360 The same stuff that you normally eat to eat more. 382 00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:34,320 Of it, exact same stuff. I normally I just eat more of 383 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,440 it. And before I decided to eat 384 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,400 intuitively on Saturday. So this weekend is like the last 385 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,680 weekend that Crystal and I and Rigel have is just the three of 386 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,560 us before hazing comes and we have just people over and stuff 387 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,040 like that. So she had a mandatory family 388 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,160 weekend for us that we're just going to be relaxed and be 389 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,640 present with one another. And I went into the weekend like 390 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,080 still tracking, like I had been up to this point. 391 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,920 And I was just like fixated on food, like fixated on tracking, 392 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,080 which is kind of weird because I'm not in a prep right now. 393 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,160 I know I was about to start this experiment, but it's like I'm 394 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,440 not in a prep right now. You are a lot of the crew is, 395 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,600 but I'm not. So why am I holding myself to 396 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,600 this level of adherence? And I just started fixating on 397 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,160 that as opposed to being present with my family on the mandatory 398 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,560 family weekend. So I'm like, all right, we're 399 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,560 just going to say screw it, we're going to eat intuitively 400 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,920 this weekend. If I gain some weight, fine. 401 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,520 It is what it is, not the end of the world. 402 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,680 I've already kind of hit my goal weight and goal body fat, so 403 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,520 let's just enjoy and not not worry about it. 404 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,000 That's exactly what I did. You know I ate a lot of food. 405 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,920 It's all good quality food. Probably a couple more of those 406 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400 keto cookies that Crystal made then I should have, but those 407 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,720 covered in pecan butter are pretty freaking awesome. 408 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,160 OK, I'm gonna have to place an order for my post. 409 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,000 Yeah, for your post. But you know, I gained 5 lbs, 410 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,040 I'm holding water. I like a little bit more fluffy. 411 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,680 Like all that is what I expected would happen, but I'm dialed 412 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,160 back in now. But what I was thinking is like, 413 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,120 you know, you're in prep right now. 414 00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:05,280 I've been in prep multiple times. 415 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,240 And when you're in prep, you've got a very specific tangible 416 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,520 goal on the horizon. And anything that's counter to 417 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,920 that is not even entertained as an idea. 418 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,680 It's not even an option. It's not even in your mind. 419 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,000 It's like non negotiable. It's out when you don't have a 420 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,720 prep, when you don't have a a show and you don't have 421 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,720 anything. It's like like that to me is 422 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,120 harder that to use. Like like I, I don't want to be 423 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:31,000 fat, but I'm also trying to build as much muscle as I can 424 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,160 right now because I need to get bigger for the next time I 425 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,960 compete. And I've lost 20 lbs since being 426 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,440 in the year. But like how strict going to be 427 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,320 tracking my macros. And that's kind of where my 428 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,600 mind's at right now. It's just like just always going 429 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,440 back and forth and that's what screws with me. 430 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,000 But like I ate a bunch of food and I felt fine, but it's like I 431 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,640 could always just keep eating more, you know, like there's no 432 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,480 such thing as like enough for me. 433 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,080 I just I could just keep keep eating and against all good 434 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600 quality stuff. But I don't know, ma'am. 435 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,640 I think for me, I just have to have a goal. 436 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,760 Whatever the goal is, I just have to have one, you know, 437 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,000 because not having a goal is tricky. 438 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,400 Waters for. Me, I think it happens to a lot 439 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,200 of competitors or anybody who's actually gone through either a 440 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,720 prep or a bodybuilding or a strength competition, 441 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,640 powerlifting, meat, anything like that where you actually 442 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,720 were dialed in and you had a specific goal and then you fall 443 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,400 out of that and you're done. Like the goal is behind you now 444 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,280 and you don't have anything on the calendar coming up. 445 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,560 I think it just kind of turns into a little bit of an 446 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,600 obsessive, obsessive over nutrition kind of thing because 447 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800 you don't want to under eat, but you don't want to overeat, but 448 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,520 you kind of want to maintain your current stats or you want 449 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,520 to lose weight or gain weight. You're just never really 450 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,200 neutral. Yeah. 451 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,200 And it's, it's like I was telling this to Crystal and it's 452 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:53,200 like, I want to be the absolute best natural competitive body 453 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,800 better than I can be. But what does that look like in 454 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,280 a building phase? Or in an offseason or anything, 455 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,040 you know, like. Like in an offseason, like what 456 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,360 is defined as the best? Like is the best having some 457 00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:10,680 semblance of relaxation and giving your mind and body time 458 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,800 to decompress from the stressors of a prep so that when you do go 459 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,720 into a prep, you can actually perform better? 460 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,080 Or is it like rigidly adhering to everything with the same 461 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,640 degree of action that you are in a prep so that like nothing gets 462 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,960 left to chance? Like of those two outcomes, 463 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,920 which is the best? Like, I don't know, like when 464 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,760 I'm dialed in for a prep, it's very clear what the best is. 465 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,840 Like, I want to be able to hold as much most as I can, be as 466 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,960 absolutely lean as I can and be, you know, perfectly dialed in on 467 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,960 my posing. And I can check all those boxes 468 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,400 because it's very tangible. But like when it's less 469 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,480 tangible, the notion of what is the best becomes more blur. 470 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,640 True, but if you start to keep or you keep doing these 471 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,960 analytics and these DEXA scans and shape scale scans and 472 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,720 everything like that, it'll help you be the best and stay the 473 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,480 best through an offseason, you know? 474 00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,560 Yeah, yeah. And like I. 475 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,960 Don't feel like you're getting too chubby. 476 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,080 You can, you know, pull the reins back in or something. 477 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,120 For sure, for sure. How do you feel about it all? 478 00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,320 I mean your calories are getting pretty low right now, like it's 479 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,040 probably under. 1900 calories. Yeah, like do you like when, 480 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,880 when I you hear me say I just ate 5000 calories Saturday and 481 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,320 Sunday and like, is that like, oh man, that'd be must be nice. 482 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,800 Or is it just like cry a little bit? 483 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,080 I was just like. Man, he's not in a prep. 484 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,520 No deal, no issues whatsoever. I'm in a prep that that'll be my 485 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,560 time to come later. I find myself wishing I was in 486 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,120 the opposite situation, so I have to stop those thoughts 487 00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:39,520 before they get too held on. For example, when I'm in prep, I 488 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,560 think, man, that would be so nice to not be in prep. 489 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,200 But then when I'm not in prep and going through a sense of no 490 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,760 goals like you were just talking about, I'm like, man, it'd be 491 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,840 nice to have a goal, nice to be in prep so. 492 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,640 This is always greener. Exactly. 493 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,680 So you have to like 6 months ago, I was kind of hoping I was 494 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,120 going to be in prep. I was excited for prep. 495 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,880 I wanted to dial in. I wanted to get lean. 496 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,520 I wanted to get some photos done. 497 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,640 I wanted to do this and that now that I'm doing it, I'm like, 498 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,520 Dang, it'd be nice to just like go out to eat with everybody 499 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,560 and, you know, not care quite as much. 500 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,920 But so the grass is always greener, but the grass can also 501 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,640 be greener where you water it. So I'm trying to water it more 502 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,320 in this current situation. And that, that's key, man. 503 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,760 And when it comes to like food, like when you're deprived of 504 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,360 food, it could be really easy to be like, man, I just need some 505 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,280 food. If I get some food, it'll all be 506 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,800 OK. My mind will be at peace. 507 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Then you fix it on food. Yeah, then you fix it on food. 508 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:40,440 But here's the thing, like with food, like you're going to just 509 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,760 be hungry again after 24 hours has passed from that food. 510 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520 So like, it never solves the problem. 511 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,440 It never solves the problem. And like when you're. 512 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,360 And like, I wanted to really dive into that this past two 513 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,040 days eating intuitively 'cause I wanted to like just lay my hands 514 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,400 on it, 'cause it's like it's always a fleeting phenomenon. 515 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,920 So you can't look to anything fleeting for deep rooted 516 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,800 satisfaction fulfillment. So like when you're in a prep, 517 00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:08,120 you can just fix that about food all day long. 518 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,320 But if you were to like totally go off the wall, eat all the 519 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,520 food that you wanted to feel totally full, that would be that 520 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,640 would last 24 hours and you're right back into that same 521 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,440 position. But now you've got to like make 522 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,520 up for all that time lost. So like, why even entertain that 523 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,600 idea in the 1st place? Like that's not going to be the 524 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,040 problem solved. So yeah, it's, it's interesting, 525 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,080 man. It's very interesting. 526 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,160 It is. On the on the Keterberg side of 527 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,720 things though.

It's really good, but it may be 547 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:37,640 if we decide to roll with that flavor, we may launch that 548 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,680 flavor instead of butter and Maple pecan. 549 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,520 So we're not going to tell you what that flavour is yet, but we 550 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,080 will say if we decide to roll with it, it may or at least one 551 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,160 variation of the butter and pecan like we may not do both 552 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,560 tallow and cacao butter and pecan pending this flavour. 553 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,560 And this new one, this new flavour is a tallow based. 554 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,840 Yeah, it will be tallow. It will be a grass fed way. 555 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,160 Yep, Yep. It's pretty good. 556 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,000 It is pretty good. It's really good and it's kind 557 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000 of like seasonal vibes. And we like all took a bite of 558 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,040 it and we're like. Yeah. 559 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,760 We're pretty good at getting these flavors formulated, man. 560 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,040 There's not a whole lot of trial and error. 561 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,880 Like we just know what's going to work and we make it work. 562 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,760 Yeah. You know, one take, Jake. 563 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,000 One. Take Jake. 564 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,200 One take, Jake. What else is new? 565 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,760 Nothing. You guys are ready. 566 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,560 You guys are what? So your bicep veins popping? 567 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,680 Yeah, we're getting a little bit more vascularity. 568 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,240 More vascularity, more shredded. You guys are ready for baby #2. 569 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,840 Yeah, we have pretty much midwife meeting every single 570 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,920 week going forward at this point. 571 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,800 'Cause this it could be literally a new day, right? 572 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,560 Yeah, I mean, she's viable now. So it literally could be. 573 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,680 I mean, she's in the third trimester. 574 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,160 So any any day now is technically viable for having a 575 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,600 baby. And then Rigel came two weeks 576 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,480 later than his target due date. So maybe that'll be the case. 577 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,640 Maybe he'll come early. We don't know yet. 578 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,680 So it'll be, it's kind of weird 'cause I'm, I blocked out my 579 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,840 whole calendar in the next week or two so that I can just be on 580 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,560 call basically pending, you know, due date. 581 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,680 So yeah, we'll, I'll be. Watch, watch him hang on for 582 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,960 those two weeks and then he'll, yeah, decide to make his way 583 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,640 when you're busier than him. Probably, probably will be what 584 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,480 happened. So yeah, that's exciting for 585 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,840 sure. We got a whole bunch of stuff. 586 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,080 You and I had like a little shindig powwow last week, big 587 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,720 picture stuff for the businesses. 588 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:45,480 We got some game plan in motion there, lots of exciting stuff. 589 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,200 I told the guys we got some exciting stuff to talk about 590 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,080 when Bryson gets back from his week, week on vacation. 591 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,320 So that'll be good. And yeah, pretty much all the 592 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,200 new and exciting stuff. So rock'n'roll, how long we've 593 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,960 been talking to you 30. 1 minutes, 31 minutes, that's a 594 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,400 pretty good little half an hour we're. 595 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,080 Going to do a whole lot of. Discussion on blood work because 596 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,720 you and I both got our blood work panels done and we tested 597 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,240 for hormones, all that jazz. But I kind of want to wait till 598 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,200 the deep dive on hormones until after I get my second round of 599 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,320 blood work back after this five week experiment, and then I can 600 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,760 talk to the change in blood work from one to the next. 601 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,000 We should also dig out, find somewhere we can go get ACAC 602 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,520 score. We should do that. 603 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,280 That'd be cool, yeah. 'Cause your cholesterol was 604 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,200 high, it. Was like 415 or something. 605 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,080 Total cholesterol. Yeah, I guess we can do a little 606 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,000 teaser on blood work. So of notable things, your 607 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,560 cholesterol was high. But my trigs were a little high 608 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,920 too. Your trigs were a little high. 609 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,520 My cholesterol is was not nearly as high as yours, but my HDL is 610 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,800 always super high. My trigs are always super low so 611 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,880 my ratio is always good. Your testosterone was good. 612 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,080 And that's one of the ones that I wanted to check this go around 613 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,280 because back in, was it December or January, January, my total 614 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,640 test was just over 1000. My free test was still pretty 615 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,280 solid. Also, I wanted to check that now 616 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,040 that I'm several months into a prep, my calories are way low 617 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,480 and I'm in a deficit. And it was still over 800. 618 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,040 Yeah. So yours was still rocking? 619 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,520 Yeah, it dropped a little bit, but considering where you're at 620 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,720 in a prep, totally makes sense why it would drop. 621 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:30,360 Mine's always low. I think my total was like 330 622 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,840 something I want to say and my free was 27 I want to say. 623 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,240 OK, so yours is considered low by today's standards. 624 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,240 Right. It's technically in range, but 625 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,880 it's it's low. It's in the low end of the the 626 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,640 acceptable range, low by your standards, but take into 627 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,680 consideration how you feel, how you perform your libido, all 628 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,120 these other factors that that would directly influence and how 629 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,760 do those. Yeah, so, well, let's talk about 630 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,000 that for a second. So my, my testosterone's always 631 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,560 low. And a lot of people would be 632 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,440 like, well, it's low because you've been strict keto for so 633 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,680 long, 10 years, you need to be taking in some carbs. 634 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,360 And that's like, well, no, that's not the case. 635 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,400 Because then I can point to you and be like, Greg's also been 636 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,760 strict keto for 10 plus years and people accuse him of taking 637 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,480 gear because his testosterone's so high. 638 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,000 So being strict keto is not the determining factor for higher or 639 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,280 lower testosterone. Mine I think is always low 640 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,720 because I'm under a lot of stress with work and my sleep is 641 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,720 always lackluster. Like I averaged my sleep for the 642 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,720 entire year and my average sleep is like 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours of 643 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,120 sleep for an entire year. That's what I'm averaging. 644 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,080 So not very great. I think that's my biggest knock 645 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,560 on my testosterone. You have much higher 646 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,280 testosterone. You probably don't have that 647 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,440 much stress, which is a good thing. 648 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,920 But I feel like, you know, people look at low testosterone 649 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,000 and based off of my numbers, they'd be like, all right, let's 650 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,200 go to a clinic. I'll show them these labs and 651 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,400 they'll 100% be like, yeah, you're a great candidate for 652 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,240 getting on TRT. That's what I'm that's what I'm 653 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,320 getting at is like the system is just. 654 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,520 Yeah, yeah. I mean, I would 100% get 655 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,440 qualified for TRT based off of my labs. 656 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,400 But you know, it's like, what is it that TRT is supposed to 657 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,880 replace? It's supposed to have, it's 658 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,320 supposed to improve your libido. It's supposed to give you more 659 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,480 energy, better recovery. You know, you don't want a dad 660 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,800 bond. So it's supposed to improve your 661 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,880 composition so that you're not retaining body fat or 662 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,000 necessarily. And you're supposed to have more 663 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,920 zeal for life and just be more vibrant as a being. 664 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,600 And I look at all those things and I'm like, OK, I don't have a 665 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,239 dad bond. Like I'm pretty freaking 666 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,440 shredded. Yeah, but you're a dad with a. 667 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,400 Bond yeah, I I don't have this issue recovering. 668 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Like, I trained pretty hard and I have no problems recovering. 669 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,080 I don't have this, you know, drab dole existence. 670 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,520 Like I've got a lot of vitality and zeal for life. 671 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,080 Like I'm excited to get up and grind every single day and I've 672 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,240 got a baby that's about to be due. 673 00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:01,800 So like obviously from a libido standpoint, something must be 674 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,760 working there, connecting the dots somewhere. 675 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,920 So it's like, you know, people look to TRT or HRT to just like 676 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,640 fix all their problems. But it's like having higher load 677 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,560 TRT is not going to be like your death sentence or, you know, 678 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,240 saving grace. Like it's not going to be what 679 00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:22,640 you are defined by. Like you got to look deeper for 680 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,400 all them. And yeah, I would love to have 681 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,120 higher TRT or higher testosterone rather, but it's 682 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,720 not like having relatively low testosterone is like inhibiting 683 00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:36,000 my ability to perform in all things, so. 684 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,080 I think people jump too quick on it A. 100% they do. 685 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,960 And they use it as an excuse to go get on something. 686 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,560 And they just say, oh, my life sucks. 687 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,200 And you know this before they address their nutrition, before 688 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,960 they address their stress, their sleep, get in the gym, move some 689 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,960 weights, do some things that you can naturally beef that up. 690 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,440 Then if you're still feeling like crap, then if your numbers 691 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,160 are still low, then you can explore other options. 692 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,040 But if you don't have any starting out metrics, you know, 693 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,520 that's why it's important to track those, maybe even on just 694 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,720 a yearly basis just to kind of see where things are trending. 695 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:08,760 And then if you start to feel like crap or things aren't 696 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,640 feeling like normal, you can go get your labs done and you can 697 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,840 see, oh, well, this is really low or this is really high or 698 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,440 something's way off. What's going on? 699 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,880 Then you look at things you can change naturally before you 700 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,160 know, go on the medical route. Yeah, 100% and my numbers are up 701 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,440 quite a bit from what they were obviously when I was super lean. 702 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,480 I mean I think when I hit the 3.9% I was at 89 total test. 703 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,080 Well, that's that's to be expected. 704 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,400 I mean, that's crazy, crazy low, but you know exactly why. 705 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,160 Yeah. And I'm a little bit lower. 706 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,920 I think I was at 4:50 earlier this year, but then I went to 707 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,080 that little bit of a deficit to lose a 20 lbs. 708 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,640 So mine's a little bit low from that. 709 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,320 So it's, yeah, I mean, it's a constantly moving. 710 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,360 But you have all that data, so you can and you can, you can 711 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,920 say, OK, well, here's where it started to dip and here's the 712 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,840 lowest it's ever been. And what do you know? 713 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,160 That lines right up with contest prep. 714 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,840 And then as you come out of that prep and your reverse diet and 715 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,360 your intake goes back up, you can see those numbers climb back 716 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,840 up. But if you were only to take a 717 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,600 stab in the dark here and there and here and there and not 718 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,120 really align those two things to one another, you would think, 719 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,480 holy cow, yeah, something's wrong. 720 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,360 What's going on? And, you know, I think that the 721 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:15,440 average dude probably doesn't get that checked until they 722 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,880 decide they want to get it checked for some reason. 723 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,080 And then now they're like, OK, I'm. 724 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,240 That's I need to go on TRT. I think I'm all for doing 725 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:24,920 whatever you can to improve your numbers naturally. 726 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,640 I wish my testosterone was higher than it was. 727 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,760 You know, I need the stress less, but that's not something 728 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,120 that I'm really going to be able to. 729 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,440 Accomplish that option. Get the business down a little 730 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,840 bit more. But all that to say, I see a lot 731 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,800 of people getting on TRT because they'll go get a test done and 732 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,600 they'll have low testosterone, you know? 733 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,000 But as you. Still eat like shit. 734 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,680 Exactly. And here's the thing, like 735 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:51,280 beyond just the physical implications of like what their 736 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,720 diets like, what their activities like, what their 737 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:58,120 sleep patterns are like, they look to these external factors 738 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,280 to solve their problem. And their problem is not the low 739 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,680 testosterone their problem is. Lifestyle. 740 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,200 Lifestyle and just like not having a purpose in life like if 741 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,520 you spend your time pacifying yourself by watching TV too 742 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,880 late, looking at porn, eating crap food, not sleeping and then 743 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,320 are surprised that you have no you know that your health 744 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,280 markers are in the tanks like.
