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

This was awesome!

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

Thank you for the kind words and thank you foe sharing that @@KinaStaru :) I'll record a video on how to get abs on a WFPB diet for my channel so stay tuned and alternatively we can coach you to it too :)

Thank you for listening :)@@valeriefitzgerald6080

Absolutely :) We've had people turn their life and health around at 80 years young

Like start doing a carnivore diet.

Thank you for the kind words and I'm always here to support :) Either on KZfaq or Instagram where I answer most people's questions via DM :)

Wow, I have never heard about you either. Will be whole food plant based 4 years this month and am going to look up your videos because I would like to build muscle.👍 Thanks for posting this video Chuck.

Thank you Maria, I really appreciate the kind words and you listening to the episode :)

Aw don't beat yourself up Peter, just focus on winning the next meal. The whole journey isn't about perfection, it's about progression. So as long as you cheat less and less you are heading in the right direction :)

Aw thank you @@PeterKruseMusic I appreciate it

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

Thank you 🙏 We all are :)

Thank you Lauren, I appreciate that and thank you for listening. Always here to help if you need anything :)

Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy that it resonated and that you took the precious time out of your day to listen. Thank you and I hope you have an awesome rest of your week :)

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

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

Yes, it's something most people struggle with and its pretty doable/easy to fix it just takes a few months :)

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

Thank you Taylor, I'm happy you enjoyed the episode :)

Thank you for the kind words Gina, I really appreciate it :)

Thank you 🙏

Amen to that

If you asre concerned about cancer, better eat red meat as it has anti-cancer properties. found in beef and dairy improves immune response to cancer Scientists at UChicago discover that trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), a fatty acid found in beef, lamb, and dairy products, improves the ability of immune cells to fight tumors. November 22, 2023

Word: Carninundrum Definition: The perplexing situation in which a vegan, who has long abstained from consuming red meat to minimize their risk of developing cancer, learns of groundbreaking research revealing that a specific molecule found in red meat possesses potent tumor-fighting properties. This revelation creates a moral and health-related dilemma, causing the individual to question their long-held beliefs and dietary choices. The term is a blend of "carnivore" (an animal that feeds on flesh) and "conundrum" (a confusing or difficult problem). Example: "Having avoided red meat for years as a cancer-prevention strategy, Olivia found herself facing a carninundrum when a new study surfaced, suggesting that a unique compound abundant in grass-fed beef could potentially inhibit the growth and spread of malignant tumors."

Thanks for sharing that Gloria, I answered you on your previous message :)

@@cinuk I think it's too low, but I've had zero success with raising that number without putt on fat and increasing my waist size. And I'm not small to begin with. About 165 pounds. It is what it is, as they say.

@@cinuk My weight isn't terrible. It's what I have to do to maintain it that's bad. My diet is clean 95 + percent of the time. I suspect it's from decades of undereating. I do have hypothyroidism but it is treated and stable .

I answered your message in more details above but just saw your weight you shared now so your theoretical maintenance would be around 2245 calories a day@@michellehatkow7347

​@@cinukyou're never gonna lose weight eating 3000 to 3500 calories. You're in a caloric surplus. You need to eat under 2000 in order to lose weight.

Thank you for the kind words and yes she did

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

How expensive? I couldn't find any info on his website .

$ 1000 / month with a minimum 4 months suscription with Maxime $ 500 / month with another coach of their team

You get the pricing information after a call discussion

@@FelixNL05 Correction $1500/month with me. But most people don't work with me at this point as I only have the ability to work with 5 people at at time. Most people work with our Fit Vegan Coaching team which we charged a fraction of what every other Vegan fitness coaches charges online. We guarantee all our transformation as well so the ball is in your court

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

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

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

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

Big tks for all the great tips and info. My grip strength is strong & biceps good! But there is an obvious loss of muscle on my fore arms - just hanging fat. I am not all that hungry & feel full & sastiated quickly. So it can be difficult to eat the appropriate amount of protein. I have almost completely weaned off sugar of all types. This is a great video that is so important for seniors! Muscle mass really helps to stop seniors from falling! feign

I'm sorry I mispoke it more dense than fat. For the same looking volume, muscle would weight more :)

Thanks for the correction... credibility restored.
