Mike Israetel

Like, and cause last little anecdote is just like what I was going to say is kind of on the opposite end of that coin.

I'm just going to use like this weekend and what we're doing as an example, like on the opposite coin, following what, you know, Dr. Israel said about Dr. Mike, what he said about, you know, having to be at almost competitor level.

Like, let's say for example, that I was, that I did have a really specific goal and I'm like, okay, I'm trying to gain three pounds of muscle and within the next month or something like that, which is a fricking lot.

Right.

That'll do it.

I did, like, a, a three-hour sit-down wi- with Mike Israetel, and that was one of...

Believe it or not, we covered multiple things in that three-hour time period, but that was one of the things.

But, uh, in any case, hey, it's great.

Like I've done every dumb version of dieting that I could.

And finally, I watched a TED talk by a guy, or a TEDx talk, I think it was like 2016 or 17, Dr. Mike Israetel, and he talked, and it was called The Scientific Landscape of Healthy Eating.

And he basically was like, none of this food is unhealthy you can eat you can have carbohydrates they're not unhealthy they're not bad for you they're not making you fat if you overeat and and i'm i'm sitting there doing a version of keto where i'm never allowed to be full like this was my thinking while i'm watching that was i'm gonna do keto but i'm gonna do hungry keto as long as i'm hungry all the time i'll be okay not even realizing like this is just some stupid attempt at tracking calories without tracking calories.

And when I watched that, I think I watched it three times in a row.

Now, here's the problem with YouTube.

You have to, you have to peel through a lot of crap to get to the truth because you'll run into people named Israetel or, you know, [laughs] Greger.

You'll run into some people, and you'll go, "Wait, what? What are they talking about?" [laughs] Who's the other guy, um, w- with the...

I always like to goof on him.

So that is still the top variable.

Uh, Mike Israetel, the, uh, exercise scientist who has great YouTube videos, he did a great one breaking down the enhanced games and all the misconceptions and flawed, uh, propaganda that they put out.

Anabolic steroids make a huge difference in muscle size and the amount of size you can retain while you get lean.

The Olympics are mostly a test of somewhat dedication to training and talent, and a lot of people on the Olympics are on drugs already.

Mm.

And I just got, like, Dr. Mike like eight times in a row.

Ah.

And, uh, it was totally cool, but also, like, I was high as fuck.

So, like, people start talking to me, and I'm like, "I, I'm Dr. Mike.

I'm on the internet for something." Like-

[laughs]

Mixed metaphors.
