He's just pulling y'all's leg. Rip is vegan. I saw him leaving yoga class the other day. He was wearing yoga pants and no shoes and he threw his yoga mat in the back of his Kia Soul. He saw me and said "Hey, James! I'm going to head over and get a vegan scramble after I finish this detox tea; care to join?" I declined because I was busy. In parting, he gave me a hug and said "Namaste."

More with Santana! The two of you together are something special!

So basically, Start with one glass of milk a day and increase by an ounce every day until you can do a whole gallon. Got it!

"We were talking about cannibalism the other day." Not wasting any time getting started I see. Seriously, though, this reminds me of something Dan John wrote about dieting with his clients: start with good food. Every day, eat 1 pound of lean meat/fish, 1 cup of oats, 2 pieces of fruit, 3 cups of vegetables, and a potato, and drink a quart of milk and half a gallon of water. If you are still hungry after all that, you can have a piece of cake for dessert.

Can we get a Rippetoe cooking show? Just one recipe Rip, please

I know he's not much of a talker, but Robert is by far the best nutritionist you've had. He's very grounded and right on the money with what he says, without making things too complicated. Nutrition isn't rocket science. It isn't even an exact science at all. This is why Robert keeps giving us something general, to then tweak as an individual. He knows what he's doing.

Rip, you helped change my life. Thank you

This was both very educational and entertaining. Thank you both!

Your podcast is really, one of the best podcast things ever!! Keep up the great info.

For any of those that are trying to apply what was said to a Keto diet. The mantra goes: Protein is goal Carbs are a limit Fat is a lever The only difference between what Robert is going for and a keto version is how high is the limit on carbs. After 2 years of Keto for me and going (for blood sugar control), I think that Robert's version is likely the more successful approach. Don't get fooled on the hype of Keto, it has its applicability to some circumstances. But I have seen way too many people who can't sustain it. And as we all know: "Compliance is the science." - Stan Efferding

Thank you! This is so helpful.

Their discussion on using body parts to approximate portion sizes is precisely where the imperial system comes from.

Super helpful. Really needed this

Great Episode👍!!

Damn Rip that was one hell of an intro question

Love this guy right out of the block.

4% Large Curd Cottage cheese, Olive Oil, Basil, and Diced tomatoes with salt and pepper. Perfect bedtime snack and breakfast

lol great episode. I think Robert is my favorite guest

17:40 you are getting very close to describing the Paradox of Choice. Not only do people screw up when they have excessive choices/variety, they are less happy. More than about 3 or 4 options makes it too hard for most people to make a choice they are happy with.

Rip and the electorial college was gold

On a related note regarding B12, for anyone using a PPI (I used to take Pantoprazole, which stops stomach acid from being produced) they should be taking a B12 supplement, because it is the stomach acid that gets the B12 from food, and you're likely to be B12 deficient if you don't take a supplement while on a PPI, or while taking any drug that even reduces stomach acid.. I mention it because I had been taking a PPI prescription for years before I read about how B12 should be supplemented - my doctor never mentioned it, and I just happened upon an article - which I then mentioned to my doctor (not the one who had prescribed the PPI, but anyway), and she concurred that a B12 supplement was in order...

The line about cannibalism is why I love Rip. BTW, if we were meant to be vegans, we'd have eyes on the sides of our heads.

Doc Santana I am the beginner with CRPS, I did email you and would enjoy your input on protein sources that are viable. In other words, your list. I have already cut gluten and most starch from my diet as part of my disease protocol. I eat mostly protein and veg, but have trouble getting all of it in through eating as I have restricted my eating eating to drop my weight from 230 at 5’11”

This was helpful.

Great Video Good Information

5:05 He has a point.

Is there/ will there be a Santana article on this? “Starting Plates” - New book would appreciate the option to scan a 5 minute article

The way they pronounce it as "vejan" sounds so natural now.

The way Robert says protein makes it sound meatier somehow.

Good one lads

Could there be another book in a the Starting Strength future?

Mark, I don't have a rumen anymore. I stopped chewing the cud years ago. What's a veg-in to do? Veg-in......., sounds like a commun buffet 🥬🐄🐠🥛🍻

BRCC best coffee hands down.

1 fist 3 times a day! My wife is gonna be pissed!

What do I have to do to get a Barbell Coach Shirt?

The hands guide didn't seem very applicable to me since I have neither baby hands or crab claws. 8oz, 3 times a day seemed easier as that's easy to quantify as 3 8oz steaks.

Protein from meat gets digested in the stomach, humans don't have the enzymes in the stomach to digest plants meaning the digestion of plants doesn't begin till the plants reach the intestines, at this point you can only pull a fraction of the nutrients from the plants... the nutrients may be in the plant but they're not bio-available to humans.

So much truth

That duck sandwich sounds tasty but complicated hahahaha...funny shit.

Rip should make some podcasts, he could ask the best questions. He should start with Lyle McDonald.

Precision nutrition headed by John Berardi PHD also work off this framework of habits and handsized portions.

Hi Rip, I heard you mention "pee protein". I know you have a high protein diet, have you thought of selling your pee? I am a vegan but I'm considering drinking animal based urine to supplement my protein intake. Thanks!

This is great! Keep the mexican guy coming

Can u do timeslines on long videos

Is Rip dealing with some nuerological issues? Seems like a lot of involuntary muscle movement in his hands.

Hwhey protein isolate!

I was told by a diabetes educator that beans, meat and peanut butter were all the same when counting carbs. I was to consider them all meats.

Bodybuilding has caused a shitty state of body dysmorphia among young men. It's spread over to the United Kingdom as well, drives me mental. I'm not single digit lean, fuck you can't see my six pack and I could give a toss. I'm strong, I'm extremely fit and well conditioned ( have to be to play flanker in rugby as I do; they don't call us the 'everywhere men' for nothing), I don't have a big old round belly i.e I'm not fat, but neither am I shredded. I agree with Rip and Robert, it's just not good to obsess over this or worry your skirt might fit a bit tighter 😂👌🏻

0:08 as a homeless I protest!

Just ordered dominos

Breakstones' cottage cheese is the food of the Gods!

for every 35 g of a meat origin its around 7 grams of protein.

I ALWAYS tell people to count calories, sure they can ignore the macros but count them they must, otherwise good luck doing a very mild cut that I ask for.

Diversity is not a strength; especially not in diet/nutrition.

Could I get a Mark cooking channel?

Coach if I eat a homeless person a day do I have to keep doing my GOMAD?

Wow Rip has been taking French cooking classes. Soon he’ll trade in his whiskey for fine French ‘whine’.

1h9m55s - "Can I even finish a sentence? You're not listening." - Most patient man on earth. SHUT THE FUCK UP RIP!

Aloysius Devadander Abercrombie, that's long for Spoon

Hi Dad

Durianrider sent me here

Rip didn't get fed enough as a kid. That's why he only grew to FAHVE foot FAHVE!

Can anyone out there tell me if GNC is legit in terms of it's products for bodywork?

If I had been born anytime previous to last century, i couln't be eating more than i,m satisfied with. So, to me, natural body composition means, either being not alive or very underweight for modern standars. I'm in my mid thirties and i'm going to try again, but i can only try because we live in such strange era, when we have such amounts available to us.

Leggo

I love your political input Rip because I agree totally.

50% protein 50% the rest

Dood looks like a younger version of Ron Jeremy.

I have a friend that’s vegan that meticulously plans his meals to make sure he’s getting all the nutrients but is just so much work to not eat delicious steak.

Whey protein has vitamin B12 in it.

They are called “SUPPLEMENTS” for a reason. They are not meant to be a primary source.

As a classically trained Chef, I'm offended by your over simplification of French cuisine.

LOL. That first hater is clueless.

Vedge Ends

Mark Rippetoe mentioned a gallon of milk in the episode. I think drinking a gallon of water is better than drinking a gallon of milk. While people tend to focus a lot on nutrition when it comes to strength and performance, people tend to overlook hydration and how dehydration can hinder performance. People can drink mineral water or coconut water for electrolytes.

I love the work you both put in but fuck vegetables. Edit: Fuck Grains too Edit 2: Fuck the food pyramid... Edit 3: Fuck Fiber... All you need is Beef Eggs Milk Butter Salt and Pepper Anything else is a distraction

Captain Quiet Riot

Diet implies that there is a beginning, i.e., “Going on a diet”. Therefore there will likely be an end. It takes a sustainable nutritional and lifestyle change.

Was expecting something more indepth

Sure Rip, sure Santana.... but does Joe Rogan agree with you on all of this?? ----->LOL Maybe Joe Rogan will want you to debate a vegan for three hours!! ---->LOL If you dot get his approval our fucked. Seriously Rip, you're the most RIGHTFULLY stubborn SOB I know of in THIS field, most others would have folded a long time ago just to be with the majority. Keep it up. Keep moving forward and damn the torpedoes.

Rip , in regards to the vanity lifting and diets, the most disturbing thing I hate to see, are the blown up, tire tube lips, or Puffer fish lips. Looks absolutely hideous. People, leave your bodies alone. Appreciate what GD gave you, and keep it healthy... Shop the perimeter of the grocery store. Yes perimeter!!

🤣

haha a vagen diet hahaha

1 fist, three time a day..... hmmmm.

Fat is not satiating??? What?

People were healthier when they ate naturally. Not rocket science. Supplements are popular because they have good advertising skills. Eat proper food! It is what we are designed for.

Hard to train without carbs 😳?? No its not. Always train fasted without any, I mean any, problems. Weight still steady even Im 58 y o. So on that point I disagree 100 %. /Lars in Sweden

Vegan lol

More sense in this video than most bullshit so called "personal trainers"

Rip should just fire this Ornish diet apologist.

Rip is so politically incorrect. Just like me ;)

Since vegetables and fruits have a lot of fiber and water and contribute to the feeling of satiety, it may not be possible to eat large quantities of them by chewing along. Blending fruits and vegetables into a smoothie or putting them through a juicer will allow a person to consume them much quicker. I think drinking fruit and/or vegetable smoothies would be a better alternative to drinking 6 protein shakes a day.

Most homeless are squatters

The majority should elect the president. So, yes, abolish the electoral college.

Hmmm... So, you say that the problem with getting rid of the Electoral College is that the big cities like NYC, LA and San Fransico will pick our president. That to me sounds like bogus logic that gives priority to calf raises, tricep pushdowns and forearm curls rather doing squats, deadlifts and presses.

I prefer my whey isolate to meat. It takes a long time to digest a pound of beef compared to a great quality whey protein. Add some oats, banana, frozen fruit, natural PB, spinach - bam. Complete meal. I make two of these a day, plus a couple whole food meals. Also, I NEVER eat beef that isn't minced. Keep in mind it's not about eating "protein". It's about eating and absorbing protein. All those "strength bellies" we see in the strength community is nothing more than undigested food in the bowels. I used to have a HUGE, distended belly full of SHIT (Yes, that's what it is). You guys eat too much too. I think far too many strength athletes are closet emotional eaters. Why train so hard, but eat like a fat slob? It makes no sense. Look at strength athletes like Jouko Ahola. To me - that is an ideal athlete

Get rid of the electoral college and this country breaks up.

Hi Dad
