Alright, Dan John, welcome again to the present.

Dan John: Hey, properly, thanks a lot. I… Like I’ve instructed you earlier than, I really like your website, my pal Gabriel Klausmo makes use of your website along with his college students, as a result of he thinks that there’s some gaps in fashionable training. Which I agree with and, man, I watch us drop some issues out of educating, it was like, “Okay, nice. I get… We’re reacting, we’re… ” However there have been some issues or some fundamentals that I nonetheless assume we have to take care of.

Brett McKay: Oh wow. I’m glad, thanks a lot. I’m glad that the positioning’s been helpful for you and for people you understand. I needed to carry you again on the podcast, it’s at all times a pleasure to speak to you. We had you on final 12 months to speak about benchmarks, bodily benchmarks, each man ought to try for. I needed to carry you again, ’trigger it’s a brand new 12 months and I do know a whole lot of males who’re listening are setting targets, and one of many targets a few of these guys are in all probability setting is to lose some weight this 12 months. And a whole lot of these guys who’re making this aim have probably had this aim in years previous, however they’ve failed. I’m curious, in your expertise as a coach and dealing with folks making an attempt to… With physique composition, physique fats, shedding physique fats. What’s the factor that holds folks again from shedding pounds? What do you even see, are the most typical roadblocks?

Dan John: Nicely, first off, I’ve to take a shout out to each Earl Nightingale and Derek Severs for this little device I take advantage of, it’s referred to as… It’s referred to as The Two Quantity Objective Sheet. And the concept may be very easy, is you discover two numbers which might be essential to you. Now, let’s simply deal with… Let’s simply deal with what you’re asking now. I take advantage of a bodily aim, which is… For this 12 months will probably be physique weight and like a monetary aim. However it may be… It could possibly be something. I believe a quantity helps as a result of it’s so clear-cut, like if in case you have this imprecise… If I used to be to say to you, “Hey, I wanna lose a couple of kilos.” Nicely, that simply floats off… After all, I can say that. I pushed air previous my vocal cords, I didn’t say something. So I’ve a aim this 12 months, in reality, it’s developing the date that it’s due, is gonna be February twelfth. I wanna get all the way down to 211 kilos, which is 96 kilos. So firstly of final 12 months, I weighed 251, so it’s gonna be a 40-pound physique weight reduction in a 12 months and a month.

Nicely, why? Nicely, as a result of this would be the sixty fifth time that I’ve gone across the solar, okay? And if you flip 65 as a weightlifter, you progress into the 65 to 69-year-old weight class and division. So what does 211 imply to me? It doesn’t imply something besides it’s 96 kilos, and that’s the category, I’ve to weigh underneath that. Okay, good, we’ll simply cease with that for a second. Nicely, let’s take into consideration that. Am I more healthy? Well being is… I take advantage of Matthew Tone’s definition, “The optimum interaction of the human organs.” Will I be more healthy at 211 versus 251? Is that 40 kilos at age 65, will that loss make me more healthy? Nicely, I do know from blood exams and, [chuckle] properly, blood exams and blood stress and all the opposite stuff, I’m more healthy… Proper now I weight about 221. I’m more healthy at 221 than I’m at 251. I’ve a brand new grandson this 12 months, Leo. [chuckle] Folks in my household don’t stay very lengthy, so, will my longevity enhance at 211 versus 251? Nicely, I can assume, “Nicely, yeah. Logically, I believe so.” I don’t smoke, I put on seat belts. I see the physician yearly, I do the stuff you’re purported to do.

I believe that weighing 211 will assist with my staying round for Leo and my different grandchildren, Danny and Josephine. Nicely, will I be fitter at 211 versus 251? Nicely, health is means to do a activity, so I nonetheless… Everybody nonetheless ask me to maneuver couches and fridges. And… However I believe I’ll be fitter at 211, after which lastly in with regards to efficiency, I believe I’ve a greater likelihood of being an American document holder, possibly a world document holder at 96 kilos versus heavier than that. After which the ultimate factor, and you’ll take this nevertheless you wanna take it. Artwork De Vany, a couple of years in the past, stated that vainness after sure years is a good purpose to work out. Now, vainness comes from the previous Latin, it means empty, however really, at my age, 65, vainness might be not a nasty fifth purpose to do one thing. Please hearken to what I attempt to say then. It’s not simply stepping on a scale and weighing 211, which is nice, however there’s meat behind that aim for me. There’s my grandchildren confirmed up on this dialog, my general well being confirmed up, my weight lifting confirmed up. I look higher, to me that’s what you want if you take a look at a health aim, it must have… Brett, it must have… It must be full. It must be ripe. It must be…

Brett McKay: Wealthy. It must be wealthy.

Dan John: Juicy, wealthy, yeah. You’re with me. If you happen to’re gonna have a dessert… You say such as you’re making an attempt to shed weight, and somebody says, “Would you like a bowl of vanilla ice cream?” Nicely, okay, that’s so much higher than a, I don’t know, one thing… “Would you want a mint?” “Okay. No, no, I’m on a weight loss program.” “Bowl of vanilla ice cream?” “No.” “I spent… That is my grandmother’s recipe. I spent six weeks placing this collectively and I’m simply gonna mild the match and flame it off. And would you want a few of that dessert?” “Nicely, yeah, that’s… ” Do you see how that… That’s a bit bit richer of a narrative than a bowl of vanilla. So for me, I believe what occurs with most individuals’s targets, is that they’ve very vanilla targets. They’ve these imprecise numbers on the market. They’ve this, “Right here… Yeah, I wanna lose a couple of kilos. I’d wish to spend extra time with my child or youngsters. I’d wish to… ” Do you see how blah, that every one was?

Brett McKay: Proper.

Dan John: However after I speak about stepping on the dimensions on the weightlifting meet underneath 211 kilos, underneath 96 Okay, after which stepping on the platform not lengthy after that and snatching and clear jerking. That simply type of makes me excited. And that’s I believe the important thing.

Brett McKay: Okay. So yeah, lots of people simply surrender on their targets as a result of there’s actually nothing there to it. If it’s only a quantity, that’s not gonna be too motivating.

Dan John: Yeah, it’s essential have… Each aim you set has to counterpoint type of a number of areas of your life. Has to mild up your mind somewhere else. I gotta inform you, if I used to be a performer, one of many issues I’d attempt to do is, for instance, possibly sprinkle the viewers… This time of 12 months, I put these cinnamon pinecones in entrance of a… I’ve this electrical fan heater in the home. And I wish to put these cinnamon pinecones downstream of the heater blower, so it makes the entire home odor like cinnamon. And if I used to be a performer, I’d at all times be blowing cinnamon into my viewers. Apart from simply me being on stage with my guitar singing love ballads from the Fifties, I’d attempt to have one thing else happening. I’d attempt to… Mild up each sense I can. Mild up each a part of the mind that I might. Nicely I really feel the identical method about aim setting. You gotta make it. You gotta have the ability to style it, odor it, see it, hear it. Does that make sense?

Brett McKay: That is sensible. And so if you’re measuring this, so that you set this aim, you wanna lose physique fats. The size is gonna play a job, however do you may have some other methods you measure fats loss that you simply like to make use of?

Dan John: Yeah. Proper right here on my desk as I’m sitting right here, I’ve two issues referred to as tape measures. I recommend you measure… Now, it’s tough since you’re waistline… Anyone who’s ever measured their waistline will inform you. Your waistline, not the measurement, however the place you place your tape adjustments a bit bit day-after-day. I believe measuring your waistline day-after-day is a extremely good little factor. And if it… And the opposite factor I’d advocate, Brett, is that this, use a centimeter ruler. And the reason being, should you go from 39 and fifteenth, sixteenth all the way down to 39, and I don’t know three 8, that doesn’t imply a lot. However should you go from 104 centimeters to 99, that simply… We people, for no matter purpose, that’s like, “Wow, that’s a giant change.” And should you can go… So I’m a giant fan of measuring your waistline in centimeters.

Brett McKay: Gotcha. Alright, so measuring we’re gonna use a scale. We’re gonna use a measuring tape. I like MyoTape, that’s the one which I take advantage of. It’s like 5 bucks on Amazon. Very easy to make use of.

Dan John: And if Brett, if I can add yet one more. We used to name them motion buddies or bragging buddies. If in case you have any individual in your life that you could belief, I’d transfer outdoors of individuals in your house, however any individual that gives you suggestions on the way you look and the way you’re doing. A bragging buddy. Somebody you might discuss to on a weekly foundation. These are the great issues happening in my life, and it’s greater than a therapist. It’s… In actual fact, within the previous Irish the phrase is “Anam Cara”, ain’t that a ravishing phrase, “soul pal”. Somebody you possibly can simply say… Who will take a look at you and say, “You look good. You look joyful.” And be, “Oh, thanks a lot.” And the factor a few soul pal is you each… You need to hear to one another, which is a tough factor typically.

Brett McKay: How often do you advocate folks measuring themselves for the… After they’re gauging their fats loss?

Dan John: Nicely, guys like Clarence Bass say day-after-day you must weigh in and do the tape measure. If you happen to already preserve a journal, if you have already got a pocket book that you simply preserve the knowledge in, I’d say day by day. If you happen to’re new to it, possibly you would possibly wanna have an occasion, you understand like… And boy, some folks disagree with me right here, however the Monday morning weigh in. Each Monday morning you make, properly, should you don’t have… It could possibly be Saturday, it doesn’t matter. However sooner or later per week you choose to do the weigh-in and the measurement, and form of make it a giant deal to your self.

Brett McKay: Gotcha. Ideally, I just like the as soon as per week. I do mine on Friday morning.

Dan John: Okay.

Brett McKay: ‘Trigger I really feel like with the Monday morning, the issue I’ve had there’s that I’ll have like a giant Sunday evening dinner at my in-laws place, and that simply throws all the things off ’trigger I’m type of bloated. I’m retaining water ’trigger I ate some rolls and a few cheese cake, or no matter. And so I’m simply gonna be heavier. I’m gonna look heavier, I’m gonna weigh heavier. However then the subsequent day, if I weighed myself on Tuesday, I’d be again to regular. So I time my weigh-ins on after I assume this is sort of a regular day, it’s not like proper after I had a giant meal. And that appeared to work for me.

Dan John: Yeah, and in case you are somebody who lifts weights three days per week, possibly Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. If you happen to wanna do one thing like that the place you may have only a day the place it’s quiet, and also you… So your work out for that day can be the weigh-in and the tape measure.

Brett McKay: Let’s speak about this. What’s an inexpensive fats loss aim for folks? So that you, you’ve misplaced nearly 40 kilos in 13 months, 14 months. For lots of people, what do you assume is an inexpensive aim? If there’s somebody who’s shedding… Who must lose 25 to 50 kilos, how lengthy ought to they anticipate that to take?

Dan John: See… Nicely, right here we run into it, don’t we. I imply critically, that is the place we went into it. Once I work with folks, one of many issues that comes up so much Brett, is that it took the individual 40 years to place this weight on, however they wanna lose that weight in two weeks. And that’s simply not affordable. Once I’m in Europe, most people that I belief will inform me a few kilo a month, which is barely 2.2 kilos. That’s solely half a pound per week, and that’s not very noticeable. And most of the people… If I put you on a weight-loss program, a fats loss program, and also you misplaced two kilos a month, I gotta inform you, subsequent new years, it’s gonna be very noticeable for you. However what occurs is, is folks don’t need that. Once I… My first month, now with a fats loss consumer… And I type of insist on being paid upfront. Is the primary month is that… The primary month, you need to drink two glasses of water a day, and that’s it. And naturally, I turn out to be your accountability-buddy, and at 9 o’clock or 8 o’clock, no matter time I name you up, and the joke is at all times this; I name you up and the cellphone goes, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, as a result of that’s if you’re ingesting that second glass of water.

And month two, we simply discover a parking area that’s as far-off out of your workplace or no matter that we are able to discover, and I inform all people that you simply work with, should you’re not… If you happen to don’t park there, you’re to name me and I’m gonna hearth you as a consumer. Now folks say, “Now, that is unnecessary.” No, no, it does. As a result of one of many issues we have to set up first in a fats misplaced protocol is increase the follow of habits. And I actually just like the work of BJ Fogg. So the letter B, the letter J F-O-G-G. He’s a Stanford psychologist, and he believes in one thing referred to as tiny habits. So that you really make… While you’re making an attempt to do a life change, you don’t say, “I’m gonna… This 12 months, I’m gonna lose 100 kilos, I’m gonna get a Doctorate in two completely different fields and I’m gonna fly to the moon.” No, you say, “I’m gonna floss one tooth day-after-day for the primary month.” Nicely, one tooth? Nicely, that’s really an ordinary begin, as a result of it’s so small and so plausible. There’s extra to it than simply this… That you just begin to have this… The snowball impact, this little behavior builds to an even bigger one, to an even bigger one, to an even bigger one.

My finest consumer I’ve ever had, we did the one 12 months factor, and the primary month, was the glass of water factor. On the finish… Now, that is uncommon. That is off the charts. On the finish of the 12 months, he had misplaced 100 kilos of physique weight and ran a half marathon. 100 kilos. Let me say that once more, he misplaced a 100 kilos in a 12 months. However what occurred was, was as soon as he bought the momentum of the habits, all the things simply began to return into play. And he was shocked. He started to take a look at of the issues he was doing in his life, and was like… There was simply so many apparent issues for him. However as soon as he bought into the behavior of doing issues, he actually began getting momentum. To me, fats loss is rather like an athletic profession, possibly you’re going in several instructions, however when you get the momentum, issues simply begin to nearly seem to you. Like if I used to be to coach you as a, Brett, as discus thrower, you would possibly say, “I’ve by no means even heard of what the discus is” However hastily, you’ll be on-line and hastily this stuff will simply… You’ll be… Open a ebook and also you’ll see a discus thrower in there.

For instance, after I learn the Odyssey. Ulysses is a discus thrower. There’s a really well-known story in The Odyssey the place he wins the discus competitors. I see that as a result of I’m a discus thrower. So if you’re making an attempt to lose fats and also you begin to get these habits, the snowball begins to develop. Swiftly you see these little issues in your life that you simply used to do… Keep in mind, you’re the sum of your habits, as you sit on this chair, as we communicate. What you seem like, what you may have as revenue, what you may have as… In your social and your loved ones life, it’s all the buildup of the habits you’ve had since actually you began having your individual free will. Principally if you began strolling for your self.

Brett McKay: Okay, so it appears like moderately than simply specializing in the quantity you wanna get to, simply deal with the method, you deal with these habits, and as you try this, issues are gonna begin to gel, issues are gonna begin to click on for you.

Dan John: Yeah. Nicely see, considered one of my habits is to weigh in day-after-day. However I don’t even… I don’t even give it some thought like that anymore, to be trustworthy with you, I don’t give it some thought as [chuckle].. Isn’t that fascinating. So I do the waistline day-after-day now, and I do the weigh in day-after-day, however I didn’t for a very long time. However as soon as I began seeing that physique weight speed up down, boy, I gotta inform you. From 251 to 231, it wasn’t very thrilling. However after I bought to 224, which is the 102 kilo weight class, and I lifted in three meets as a 102… 4 meets. After which hastily I used to be all the way down to 218, it was like, “Man, let’s simply drop all the way down to 211.” And I began weighing in day-after-day as a result of it was type of thrilling.

Brett McKay: So that you’ve had some critical momentum this 12 months with your individual fats loss. Did you ever meet any like plateaus or roadblocks alongside the best way? The place you’re like, “Ah man, it’s not budging anymore.”

Dan John: Yeah, right here in Utah, it’s referred to as the winter. [laughter] Winter’s powerful. Swiftly, you simply… Final evening at 11 o’clock I used to be, I used to be shoveling. After which this morning at 6 o’clock, I used to be shoveling. And after I went outdoors to work out at 9:30 at this time, I didn’t wanna return out within the chilly, and I simply needed to… I actually simply needed to place a blanket on and eat one thing that might make me joyful and… Yeah. So yeah, so the large highway blocks for me are usually winter, thanksgiving, Christmas. The identical highway blocks all of us have. I don’t know the way a lot of your viewers is American, however mainly, as soon as ball season comes round, I have a tendency to take a seat round so much and watch faculty soccer. After which whereas I’m sitting round, my decisions for [chuckle].. My decisions for drinks go south, my decisions for… Swiftly I discover myself consuming… The opposite day I used to be consuming pretzels and I kinda simply caught myself like, “Why am I consuming pretzels?” I simply… It’s not a meals I eat, and but I used to be consuming it. And I believe… I hope you’re following alongside right here, Brett, as a result of all of us have the identical ebbs and flows. What’s good about the place I’m at now, is the subsequent day I really spent a while… We’re solely doing audio right here, however proper now I’m choosing up this little… It’s a bit pocket book I’ve it’s referred to as “Memo ebook, 60 sheets”.

And day-after-day I write in a couple of concepts about how I can get my physique weight all the way down to 211. Nicely, after this school soccer ball recreation incident, I made a decision that subsequent week, I’m gonna begin… I’m gonna do as soon as once more, Rusty Morris fats loss increase. I’ve completed it as soon as earlier than. It’s simply two weeks, however mainly, it’s hen and greens on a regular basis. That’s what you eat for 2 weeks. Now, I eat vegetable soups, I eat massive salads, I… This isn’t for everyone. However I made a decision that ’trigger I actually need to weigh 211 at this weightlifting meet, that once we get again from the Rose Ball, I’m gonna handle enterprise in two weeks. What’s good is it… It’s nearly… It’ll be what, nearly a full month after the pretzel incident. Okay. I hope you’re following right here. I gave myself permission to make a mistake after which I got here up with a plan, and I believe that’s essential. You possibly can’t simply say, “Oh, I’m consuming pretzels and ingesting this factor I shouldn’t be ingesting, Oh, overlook it, I’m simply gonna wait till the subsequent decade to get in form.” Handle the difficulty, take a look at it, provide you with a constructive plan and reboot.

Brett McKay: Okay, alright, so yeah, I like that. So very first thing, make your targets wealthy, measure your self day by day or weekly, after which if in case you have set… Like plan for setbacks. There’s in all probability gonna be setbacks alongside the best way ’trigger we’re human beings.

Dan John: No, there are setbacks.

Brett McKay: Yeah, there are setbacks.

Dan John: There’s weddings, there’ anniversaries, there’s birthdays, there’s… There’s every kind of issues. Right here’s one fascinating factor I’ve observed although. I began telling folks… So a number of the folks I work with go to those all-inclusive holidays now. And one of many issues I inform them now could be, right here’s the weirdest factor, most individuals come again from all-inclusive holidays lighter. They’re… After they step on the dimensions after an all-inclusive trip, they’re lighter, and so they’ll take a look at me like I’m loopy, and go, “No.” First off, you sleep extra, lastly. You play on the seashore, nice. While you go to the buffet and it’s all you possibly can eat for no matter purpose, folks after they’re given all you possibly can eat they chill out, they de-stress and so they come again lighter. So even if you resolve, typically… If you happen to actively resolve, I’m gonna go on this trip. I’m gonna go on this trip in June and I’m gonna have a good time and I’m not gonna fear about my physique weight, fairly often folks come again lighter on the dimensions. So I believe we people have to only acknowledge that there are occasions to plant and instances to sow. There’s time [chuckle].. There’s a time for all the things underneath the solar. And I believe the error is simply saying, “I’m chubby, I’m gonna train and never eat.” That’s simply not a very good plan.

Brett McKay: Okay, so that you’ve bought… Let’s discuss in regards to the how of how one can lose fats.

Dan John: Certain.

Brett McKay: You’ve bought this actually surprisingly easy define for fats loss that you simply’ve primarily based in your “Simple Energy Program”, and we’ll speak about every of the elements of your method, nevertheless it all begins with meals. You co-author a ebook with Josh Hillis, and also you guys recommend that with regards to meals, folks ought to deal with three issues, amount, high quality, and ratio. Are you able to stroll us by means of these three elements?

Dan John: We’ll make it even easier for you. That is what I used to be instructed on the Olympic coaching heart by the dietician. “I don’t know what the large deal is. Eat protein, eat veggies, drink water.” And I bear in mind her going, “I’m within the fallacious profession area males.” Nevertheless it comes all the way down to actually… My good pal, Pat Flynn, he talks about this primary, should you deal with getting sufficient protein in your weight loss program. I’m gonna up my protein. As a result of protein has this means to make you are feeling full, all the opposite issues appear to work themselves out. I like that type of method. My private method is, I attempt to eat eight completely different greens day-after-day.

That is my private method, and what it’s essential do is simply have… I fear about… ’trigger that is extra Josh’s area, and I’m simply… I simply kneel at his toes. However I believe the hot button is this, choose one thing like Pat says, “I’m gonna ensure that I get my protein day-after-day.” Pat’s a giant believer in beginning the day with a protein shake. I consider in fasting till I work out. We’re not disagreeing. It’s not an both or its a each, and. For me it’s simple for me to get my protein in. It’s at all times been simple as a result of I grew up within the 60s with power and well being journal and protein was like a god, okay. However for me, the greens has at all times been the difficulty. So for me, by specializing in getting the greens in, I handle the protein simply naturally and drink a whole lot of water. So with regards to issues like amount, if in case you have vegetable soup and a giant salad at each meal and a protein supply. After you may have that massive bowl of… The vegetable soup that I’ve, massive bowl is 120 energy. The salad that I make in all probability is damaging energy, I don’t, I actually… After which there’s this protein.

After you eat that, then be happy to eat the rest to fill you up. As a result of right here’s the factor, you’re satiated, you’re full. Something you eat after that’s one thing you wanna do to make your style buds joyful and make that toddler a part of your mind joyful. In the case of high quality… I used to make this joke about this weight loss program I had invented the place you needed to eat on a regular basis, two kilos of salmon, a dozen eggs, a container of cottage cheese, a carton of blueberries. It was a listing that they’d in males’s well being journal. And I stated, after you eat all that, be happy to eat the rest you need. Nicely, after all, should you might push down two kilos of salmon and 12 eggs day-after-day, you’re not gonna be very hungry. In order that’s the place the standard facet of issues is available in. You in all probability can eat much more fried hen than you possibly can baked salmon. Would you agree with that?

Brett McKay: Yeah, I’d agree with that. And even you possibly can eat extra potato chips than you possibly can similar to a baked potato.

Dan John: You possibly can eat extra energy from potato chips simply, than you might baked potatoes, proper. To me, these are the… Cliche time, these are the large rocks of vitamin in my world. If you happen to’re not used to consuming a whole lot of protein, deal with protein sources. If you happen to’re like me and also you wrestle on the vegetable facet, get your greens in. And actually, I don’t even know why we even speak about this anymore, however drink water and I’m nice with any calorie-free drink you resolve to do. Any individual not way back stated one thing to me, as a result of I… Once I exit, I are inclined to drink weight loss program sodas. They usually stated, “Aren’t they dangerous for you?” And I’m like, “Okay. Yeah, okay. They’re… Yeah.” Actually? It’s the weight loss program soda. It’s the… On a Friday evening, I’m having a weight loss program soda. Yeah, that’s the issue on this… With my physique, is that… Yeah, so cease. We’ve gotta draw the road typically some place. Every little thing’s dangerous for you is gonna make it very tough so that you can transfer forward in your health and longevity targets.

Brett McKay: We’re gonna take fast break for a phrase from our sponsors. And now again to the present. Nicely, so for many who had been simply beginning out. For you… You’ve been doing this for what number of… 40 odd years, 50 years possibly.

Dan John: I’ve been lifting weights since 1965.

Brett McKay: Okay. So you may have a good suggestion of like okay, that is… This has this quantity of protein, it’s in all probability good, so I’m getting my proteins from this. For individuals who are simply beginning out, would it not be helpful to measure issues out, and type of take a look at a health buddy or no matter, health pal?

Dan John: Oh, that might be actually good if in case you have… If in case you have the flexibility to try this, and preserve doing it, that’s cash. For many of us, we simply use the… I’m wanting on the palm of my hand. Be sure you have a palm-sized protein in each meal, after which I’d say, after which make it essentially the most… Every little thing else on the plate is as colourful as it may be. As many greens as acceptable. One factor that I’ve been making an attempt, a pal of mine talked about this, is eat fruit individually. And so now my snack is an apple. And I’m not a lunatic, light listener. I’m simply saying, that this one individual stated to me, “Make fruit, your snacks.” And I don’t actually snack fairly often. I mainly eat about two meals a day, but when I do snack, I attempt to snack on fruit.

Brett McKay: So that you eat two meals a day. How a lot protein do you assume you’re getting in these two meals?

Dan John: [laughter] Loads.

Brett McKay: Yeah. What’s the measurement they offer you? It’s like one… I imply.8 grams per pound of physique weight? So should you’re… If you happen to… Or you possibly can simply spherical that as much as like one gram. So should you’re a 200-pound male, you’re near 200 grams per…

Dan John: 90 grams… Yeah, 90. We… I just like the gram to kilos. So should you’re a 200-pound male, you’re mainly 90 kilos 91. In order that’s 90 grams a day. The protein shakes that I purchase on the retailer right here, referred to as… There are 30 grams of protein per container. And oh, okay. So right here’s one other snack I do, I take the cereal referred to as Fiber One, and I put it in a bowl, after which I take that, I believe it’s referred to as… I don’t know the model title, nevertheless it’s 30 grams of protein, and I pour the protein as milk.

Brett McKay: Yeah I’ve completed that earlier than.

Dan John: And that’s a pleasant little snack. And the explanation I’ll eat one thing like that’s if I’m making an attempt to push starvation off till… Say like dinner tonight’s at 7:00. I ate brunch at 11:00 and dinner’s at 7:00. Possibly at 3:00 or 4:00 I’ll eat that Fiber One protein drink meal, and the quantity of fiber and the protein halts it. It’s unusual to speak to folks about protein as a result of some persons are like how do you get sufficient protein in your weight loss program? And I’ll take a look at them like, “How do you not?” After which I’ll take a look at what they eat on a typical day. They’ll begin their day with orange juice, two items of toast, a bagel, after which it… And I’m at all times hungry. Nicely, yeah, you’re hungry ’trigger you haven’t eaten any protein and also you haven’t had any… And the issue with toast and bagels and stuff like that’s, your physique actually processes them shortly. The glycemic index on them is de facto excessive, so that you’re at all times type of in a hunger mode. If you happen to like Pat Flynn’s method of beginning your day with 30 grams of protein, some folks inform me, “Yeah, I weirdly get hungrier beginning the day with a protein drink.” And my thought is, “Nicely, why don’t you eat… Simply eat… Then three eggs, is about the identical, 4 eggs, no matter it’s.” So yeah, to me, I’ve a tough time believing you possibly can’t get sufficient protein in your weight loss program till I discuss to folks about what they eat, after which it makes extra sense.

Brett McKay: Okay. It appears like, whats fascinating right here, is you’re not over-thinking these things an excessive amount of, no less than the vitamin half. Its similar to, get protein after which greens.

Dan John: Yeah.

Brett McKay: And that’s it. If you happen to’re doing that, you’re in all probability doing good.

Dan John: Yeah. [chuckle] Nicely, that’s what she instructed me on the Olympic Coaching Heart, eat protein and greens, drink water, after which the good line, “I don’t know why folks make it such a giant deal.”

Brett McKay: On this ingesting water, you had this bit I learn someplace. Yeah, you encourage folks to drink heat water. What’s happening there?

Dan John: Yeah, okay. [laughter]

Brett McKay: ‘Trigger this appears like… Nicely, this appears like… I don’t know, Dan.

Dan John: Okay, okay. Voodoo alert, light listener. Alright, nevertheless it’s scorching water and…

Brett McKay: Okay, scorching water.

Dan John: And years in the past after I was at dinner with the Pavel. You already know Pavel, the kettlebell man?

Brett McKay: Yeah, yeah.

Dan John: Tsatsouline. Yeah. So we’re sitting round and that is the… We’d had dinner earlier than, and he… And after dinner, he orders the 2 of us scorching water with lemon. And he kinda elbows me and says, “It’s proved to assist your digestion.” So after this massive dinner, and belief me, if you exit with kettlebell folks, your dinner is gonna be meat, okay, it’s gonna be meat. And so I’m simply sitting there ingesting this scorching water with lemon and I’m like, “Huh, that’s fascinating.” A few years later, my daughter Kelly is telling me about the advantages of ingesting scorching water. Nicely, then I had a pal say, “Nicely, that’s simply fundamental Ayurvedic medication.” So I went out and I bought [chuckle] as a lot as I… Ayurvedic medication is the standard medication of India, and I learn the work of John Douillard, he’s over at Life Spa in Denver, and he recommends for fats loss, ingesting scorching water with lemon. Now, Pavel says it’s good on your digestion, Kelly tells me it’s good for fats loss, and right here it’s, this different individual says it. And so I began doing it. Within the afternoons, I’ve a scorching pot, after which I’ve these bottles of concentrated lemon juice, you understand?

Brett McKay: Yeah.

Dan John: And I add it. In order I’m working, I drink it. Right here’s what I like finest, and right here’s what my daughter Kelly instructed me too. My daughter, Kelly, is my DNA. She is me. And we each have this situation. Are you prepared, Brett? That situation there, which is so annoying. I’m the individual on the film going… As soon as I began ingesting scorching struggle with the lemon, it stopped and somebody stated, “Nicely, that’s simply ’trigger it cleans out your mucus.” And I’m like, “Hey, man, so long as I’m not making noise on the film, I’m pleased with that too.” So, okay, whether or not or not it really clears out mucus, I don’t know. Whether or not or not that assists with fats loss, I believe it’d. It’s a little bit of a diuretic, as I’ve observed. My joke is I drink one cup and pee two, nevertheless it does appear to do one thing, and it could possibly be so simple as this. Whereas I’m ingesting scorching water, I’m satisfying my style buds, my throat, my tummy, and I’m sticking one thing in my mouth that isn’t caloric and isn’t including to my physique fats density. Or, after which lastly let’s go to the… ’trigger you at all times should go to the acute, it’s a magical substance that goes into your fats cells and eats them. There, okay. [laughter]

Brett McKay: That’s at all times a chance. No, I attempted it the opposite day. I used to be like… After I learn that, I used to be like, “Oh, I’m gonna do that.” And I’ll… And one thing I observed after I was ingesting, I bought fairly sweaty. I used to be getting scorching…

Dan John: Yeah, me too.

Brett McKay: Simply from ingesting scorching water, which was fascinating, however I favored it. It was a option to drink liquids that was completely different from simply ingesting lukewarm faucet water, and it was gratifying, and at least, it’s serving to you get extra water, which is important for well being.

Dan John: If all it’s is that… Okay, for me. I finished doing the… Nonsense. It stops it. Possibly it does, possibly it hydrates us up, possibly it raises that basal metabolism up a couple of drops, okay. Possibly it’s… Makes the physique should work a bit tougher to chill that stuff down. I don’t know. And now I’m simply spitballing. [chuckle] Or possibly, which is the one right reply, is that the recent water and the lemon exit and actively kill fats cells, type of like Luke Skywalker and Demise Stars, okay?

Brett McKay: There you go. It targets it. It’s focusing on that space.

Dan John: Yeah, that’s the one logical reply.

Brett McKay: That’s the one logical reply. Occam’s razor.

Dan John: Yeah. Having stated it although, and that is so exhausting to say this with out shaking my head which I’m doing. It appears to actually work for me. And by the best way, light listener, how a lot do I make on telling you to drink scorching water with a bit trace of lemon in it? I don’t make a nickel. It’s like me telling you to sleep extra, drink scorching water. I’m not gonna make a billion {dollars} on this.

Brett McKay: Yeah, so I assume, give it a shot. It’d give you the results you want. So, we’ve talked in regards to the vitamin element, and it’s fairly simple. Nothing to… You don’t should assume too exhausting about it. You’ve talked about you’re a giant fan of intermittent fasting for fats loss. That’s your option to go. Why is that? Why do you assume that’s working for you?

Dan John: Nicely, I’m not pleased with what I’m about to say, however I bought to the purpose as an athlete that if I didn’t… If I wasn’t shoveling one thing down my throat each hour, I felt like I used to be getting behind the Russians. Okay. I did. After which I simply… And I by no means actually realized to discern the distinction between craving, delicate starvation and ravenous. And what I realized and it’s… There’s nothing new to it. Each religion custom has fasting as a part of it, each one, each single religion custom has it. At some point I simply kinda… I used to be listening to all these folks speaking about these things, and I’m like… And I began to quick and I noticed what a spot there was. Now, I’m not bragging, Brett, however I’ve large self-discipline, besides when it got here to fasting. And what I did is I noticed this workforce of horses that was meals was simply pulling me round, and I needed to tame that a bit bit, so for me personally, intermittent fasting did first, taught me to take care of what starvation is versus hunger. Okay, that’s simply me. After which I began noticing one thing is in these durations the place I’m not continually shoveling meals down, it gave my physique an opportunity to digest. I’m a giant believer within the intestine biome stuff too, having a wholesome colony inside, wildlife inside your intestine.

By not continually shoveling issues down there, they needed to be much more… I improve them. Fasting enhances the intestine biome. And I additionally started to note that if I might quick, and so I don’t simply react to meals anymore. So I’ve a greater skillset to go, “Dan, would you like some banana bread?” Nicely, no, let me do that first, let me get some… And no matter. I’m gonna eat some kimchi with… I’m gonna have a bit salad, a chunk of hen and a few kimchi. After which when… Then they are saying, “Would you like some banana bread? I made it myself.” I’ll look over and go, “You made this your self?” And I’ll have an inexpensive piece of it, get pleasure from it, smile and be completed with it. It’s given me management over my meals.

The opposite factor… Now, I used to be at a workshop one time and this one who stated one thing I didn’t agree with, stated that, “Fasting cardio has no worth in any respect.” And I believed, “I believe you’re lacking the purpose.” They had been pondering of the physique as a machine, which is okay ’trigger components of our physique is machine, we’re machines in sure locations. However I believe they missed the purpose that if you’re doing one thing like fasted cardio, like in my case, fasted exercises. I can work out actually exhausting within the morning now as a result of I’m not additionally digesting breakfast as a result of I don’t eat till I’ve bought my work and my exercise in. So Palo stated one time, that what he likes a lot about intermittent fasting is the way it made you want a hunter. Okay. There’s a phrase in Hawking, Yarak, Y-A-R-A-Okay. And it’s that eyes {that a} raptor has when its in search of meals. Once I’m fasting and I’ve gotta write one thing, my eye… I’m glued to the display screen. Once I’m fasting and I am going to exercise, like at this time it was chilly and I hadn’t had any meals and I used to be shivering, and I used to be doing my exercise, and man, even proper now, as I’m explaining to you, Brett, my eyes are like all crammed like, “Let’s go handle this. Let’s go struggle this struggle and… ”

And in order that’s why I prefer it a lot. I like what it does for my means to take care of meals first. I like what it does for my work as an writer. After which I actually like what it does for my focus and my exercises.

Brett McKay: And if interment fasting is one thing you wanna do, there’s completely different protocols, there’s alternative ways to do it.

Dan John: You could possibly actually… You could possibly do one thing so simple as quick modified diets, that’s Valter Longo’s work the place as soon as a month you are taking a 3 or 4 day interval and eat 800 energy a day. You could possibly do the 5 two the place two days per week you quick. One other nice one, sooner or later per week, you eat dinner and you then don’t eat till the subsequent dinner. That’s fairly easy, proper? Something you are able to do to type of get management of your… Don’t take this fallacious, and I’m not in opposition to capitalism, however each time I activate the tv set they’re promoting me… I used to be simply watching I don’t wanna point out the model, nevertheless it’s this fried greasy hen sandwich. And it’s mouth watering or one thing like that they stated. Nicely, I watched that and I’ll be like, I can now flip off mentally that business. My talent, as a result of I quick, I’m… I constructed up the muscle of turning off immediate gratification. And there’s a couple of listeners who’re in all probability going, “I believe I do know what he means.” You’ll have the ability to gradual issues down when it comes simply shoveling issues down your throat.

Brett McKay: And what’s your protocol proper now? How lengthy do you quick and when do you break your quick?

Dan John: Yeah, so I mainly nearly at all times eat between 5:00 and 6 o’clock at evening, dinner. I stand up at about, most days, 5:00 or 6:00 within the morning. I meditate for Quarter-hour, that’s the very first thing. After which I am going on-line and I do all my emails. I write no matter I’ve to jot down. At about 9 o’clock, I get able to exercise. At 9:30, all these folks come over to coach with me. We exercise to about 10:30, and mainly about 11:00 I eat. So I don’t know, what’s that? That’s sneaking up on 18 hours, I assume.

Brett McKay: Yeah, okay.

Dan John: However for me, figuring out in a fasted state is to make use of the phrase, “Cash.”

Brett McKay: Cash. It’s cash child. So let’s discuss in regards to the train program you really useful for fats loss, it’s Simple Energy. Give us a giant image overview of the train we’re specializing in right here and what number of instances we’re coaching per week etcetera.

Dan John: Okay, however there’s the million greenback factor on the finish of it, okay. So should you can, in your good world, in order for you… If you happen to wanna do the Dan John technique of simple fats loss, should you can come into your exercise fasted. That’s… Nicely, after all, technically, should you’re not shoveling meals down your throat proper now you’re fasting, technically. However the concept is that this, all you’re making an attempt to do is, and this comes from Rusty Moore, is get your self to liberate some free fatty acids. The best method I do know is Simple Energy, so mainly, we’re gonna do a vertical press, an overhead press, dumbbell press, kettlebell press, barbell press. Possibly three units of three. Some type of vertical pull, that may do lat pull-downs, chin-ups, pull-ups. Get a few complete, If it’s chin-ups or pull-ups, possibly two units of 5, if you are able to do that, three units of three or lat pull-downs you might need to do extra. Some type of hinge motion. I really like the deadlift household. I really like subsequent, the ab wheel.

The ab wheel is likely one of the most underrated items of kit on this planet. One set of 10 is all you want as a result of with this program you’re gonna do it three to 5 instances per week, okay. So one set of 10 day by day is fairly good. If you understand how to kettlebell swing, nice. If not, no matter it takes, however should you’re gonna do kettlebell swings it might be about 5 units of 15. You’re simply making an attempt to get your coronary heart charge up a bit, however right here’s the important thing. So, overhead press, three units of three. Pull ups, three units of the three. Three units of three within the lifeless raise. One set of 10 within the ab wheel. Exit the door and stroll for 30-45 minutes. As you’re strolling, your physique simply launched an entire bunch of stuff. Your coronary heart charge’s elevated. When you begin strolling, your physique now has an opportunity, in accordance with Rusty Moore, and I believe he’s proper as a result of it’s labored so merely for me. Is now you freed up the free fatty acids, and now as you stroll your physique is sort of a Pac Man, “Eat, eat, eat, eat.” Consuming these free fatty acids.

Right here’s the factor, once more, it’s like ingesting the recent water, man. Is it 100% true? I don’t know, nevertheless it works. So, this brief exercise, we’re 10-Quarter-hour within the… Of a exercise, after which the half-hour, 45-minute stroll has simply been essentially the most illuminating change in my profession.

Brett McKay: And once more, just like the vitamin stuff, that is very easy. I believe lots of people assume they’re gonna should spend an hour within the fitness center. Right here it’s Quarter-hour, you don’t even want a fitness center, you simply want a kettlebell and a pull-up ball. You’ll be…

Dan John: Yeah. A dumbbell.

Brett McKay: Yeah. A dumbbell and also you’re set.

Dan John: And should you can’t discover a place to do pull-ups, simply do rows or one thing like that. Simply… And it doesn’t matter what I say, after all, persons are gonna throw up, “What about… I don’t have this, I don’t… ” Okay, you can also make this work. You are able to do calisthenics. However the concept, get these calisthenics in, don’t kill your self after which go for the stroll. And sure, it’s simple, and I believe that’s why it really works so properly. I actually assume, that most individuals put themselves in such a state of not simply bodily exhaustion, however even like… When folks take into consideration shedding fats, fairly often, they go to the seven lethal sins and so they assume it’s sloth or sloth, and gluttony. And so, I’m gonna counter that by consuming rabbit meals and making myself a bodily wreck. And the issue is all that does is damage your joints, makes you lose lean physique mass, you’ll lose lean physique mass, however preserve the fats ’trigger you’re freaking your physique out.

What I’m making an attempt to do with the Simple Energy For Fats Loss Protocol, is coach your physique and say, “Hey, issues are nice, issues are… Yeah, we fasted, we had a exercise, however now we’ve got a pleasant meal, right here’s some protein, right here’s some greens. Huh, see issues are nice.” And the physique appears as much as me and says, “Oh, thanks for being so type, let’s drop a few of these fats cells, lets? Yeah, let’s try this.” After which we ship Luke Skywalker in with that scorching water with lemon and he’s taking pictures up. [laughter]

Brett McKay: Alright, so yeah, you’re not placing on a hair shirt to shed weight.

Dan John: No. And also you’re not beating your self. And right here’s the humorous factor, is that this can be a factor that we’ve misplaced within the health business, is nudging your self within the fats loss. May you think about, I at all times use… Once I speak about weightlifting, I at all times use the concept of studying how one can sort. May you think about you had somebody standing subsequent to you as you had been studying to sort, screaming in your ear, “It’s all you. Hit that A, hit that A. Yo! Along with your pinkie, hit that A. Come on man! Go go, go!” What would you… What would it not seem like on the display screen if somebody was screaming at you the place the letters had been? It could look horrible. So the way you discover ways to sort, is you go in on a regular basis and also you sort, and also you make a mistake, you right it, you make a mistake, you right it, fairly quickly, there’s much less errors, fairly quickly you movement. And sooner or later you find yourself like the place I’m mainly at now, the place I can sort nearly as quick as I can assume. And it’s not ever as a result of anybody’s ever slapped my face or made me drink an power drink earlier than I went typing. I simply nudged myself day by day for a very long time, to turn out to be a greater and higher and higher typer.

So should you nudge your self, should you quick, and you then do that light, this exercise, you push it, there’s nothing with going heavy and getting these masses up. And you then go for a stroll, and you then come residence and you’ve got protein and veggies and also you drink some water, after which in a while you may have extra protein, extra veggies and drink some water, possibly in a while that day you may have extra protein, extra veggies and drink some water. Your physique will not be gonna go into this “Oh no.” And if somebody does give you some type of pleasant delight that they labored exhausting on doing, get pleasure from it. Simply don’t go to the machine and throw some money in, or use your card and get some 500 calorie sweet bar. Decide and select, be an grownup.

Brett McKay: I wanna discuss extra about this strolling. ‘Trigger you’re a giant proponent of strolling. So that you’re gonna do your 15-minute exercise within the fitness center, and so they’re gonna go for a 30-45 minute stroll. However you’ve additionally thrown in some methods you can also make the stroll a bit extra strenuous, you may have his concept of reverse rucking. What’s that?

Dan John: Okay. Reverse rucking, okay, yeah, you learn my work. “You learn my work!” that’s an excellent line from the film Patton. Yeah, it’s one thing I got here up with a few years in the past. So I’d had a whole lot of success with some shoppers who had been within the mid-300s body weight working with me. And actually, all I attempt to do, it might be the easy factor, first we’d begin off with two glasses of water after which… However as soon as we bought them strolling, just like the one consumer had, he weighed 350. And boy inside… I imply, it appeared like a blink of an eye fixed, he was all the way down to 320, and I’m pondering, “Man, I’m good.” After which he bought to about 290 and all the things stalled. After which I had observed that this had occurred to any individual else years in the past, after which it type of hit me. If you happen to go for a 20-minute stroll weighing 350, you’re doing a loaded carry and your physique is getting hit exhausting. However right here’s the issue, as you shed weight, as you get lighter and lighter, you turn out to be the curse of what fats loss train is all about.

Fats loss’ train, is about being as inefficient as you may be. So should you’re an impressive dancer and we take a dance class collectively, I’m gonna be dying subsequent to you when you simply go, step-ball-change, step-ball-change. In order this individual went strolling at 350, 340, 335, that added load of their very own physique mass, made strolling very inefficient. As soon as they slid to about 290, they started to turn out to be increasingly more environment friendly as a walker, so what we started to do then was add a quite simple… A college backpack is simply nice. And at first, it doesn’t should be very a lot weight, you possibly can throw in a single five-pound weight or a single 10-pound weight. Now you bought to watch out right here, ’trigger most individuals are gonna overdo what I’m about to say.

And as they drop all the way down to 280, possibly you wanna enhance that to fifteen kilos, 270, 260, possibly go stand up to about 30. When you get round 30-35 kilos, 15 kilos, there’s not a whole lot of worth in including weight to the backpack anymore. Now you’re gonna get folks in your present who’re navy and so they’ll say, “Nicely, I carried a 5000-pound backpack.” Okay, good for you, however for fats loss, if you get to round 30 kilos, you type of peek out with the rock or the backpacking. So it’s referred to as reverse rucking since you’re including weight because the individual… I’m making an X with my hand. You add weight because the physique mass goes down. When you get to a sure weight, then I’d placed on ankle weights, ankle weights are nice for anyone with every kind of points. The ankle weight, makes you enhance your gait with out even enthusiastic about it, after which after… And I wouldn’t go a lot over 5 pound ankle weights. After which I wish to put heavy palms, weights within the palms, and I’ve found that actually, three kilos per hand, you get these little dumbbells at Ross Costume For Much less, that weigh three kilos, these are good for strolling.

They’re pink, however they’re nonetheless good for strolling. So now, I at all times inform considered one of my shoppers… ‘Trigger you see them strolling down the road, with a backpack with plate within the again, with vibrant inexperienced ankle weights and pink heavy palms. That’s how you understand you bought a Dan John individual proper there, yeah.

Brett McKay: That’s a Dan John. So yeah, the aim right here you’re simply making an attempt to make the stroll a bit bit extra inefficient, to be able to burn extra energy.

Dan John: Precisely, precisely. And right here’s the factor, you’re nonetheless about that 30-45 minute vary. The issue we’ve got if you work with… Constructing into working, and you’ll… This isn’t my phrase, nevertheless it’s referred to as, the fats jogger syndrome. The place the individual runs increasingly more and extra and turns into more and more fatter as they run. It’s not common, nevertheless it does occur with some folks, as a result of they turn out to be very environment friendly at working and so they begin doing what the runners referred to as rubbish miles. I’m a former observe coach, so I can use the phrase. It’s simply referred to as rubbish miles, the place you simply get on the market and it doesn’t actually assist for physique composition.

Brett McKay: Nicely, Dan, this has been an excellent dialog. We talked about so much and it’s fairly easy, I imply, recap, ensure that your targets are wealthy, that your weight reduction or fats loss aim is wealthy. Measure your self recurrently. While you eat, get protein, greens, possibly intermittent quick, possibly drink some scorching water to get the Luke Skywalker impact. [chuckle] After which the train will not be exhausting, Quarter-hour within the fitness center after which stroll, after which in some unspecified time in the future possibly make your stroll a bit extra inefficient by including some weight. Is that it?

Dan John: Yeah. Nicely, it’s… We’ve been doing this for some time, and I want I might return in time. And I want after I first began teaching in 1979, I used to be having my folks do that ’trigger it’s so a lot better for fats loss and persons are happier. The great factor is, you’re not exhausted from the exercise, so that you make higher decisions in your meals. It’s… If I beat you to demise, if I simply beat you down on the exercise, Brett, you’re gonna wanna eat stuff that makes you cheerful. And I would like you to eat hen thighs and a salad and vegetable soup.

Brett McKay: Nicely, Dan John, the place can folks go to be taught extra about your work?

Dan John: Yeah, properly… Oh, and by the best way, I talked to Brian, he’s prolonged that low cost to your listeners once more, okay? And make… If you happen to might put that within the notes, it might imply so much to me.

Brett McKay: Yeah, we’ll do it.
