Alright, Dan John, welcome again to the present.

Dan John: Hey, nicely, thanks a lot. I… Like I’ve advised you earlier than, I really like your website, my good friend Gabriel Klausmo makes use of your website along with his college students, as a result of he thinks that there’s some gaps in trendy 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 suppose 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 folk . 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 variety of males who’re listening are setting objectives, and one of many objectives a few of these guys are most likely setting is to lose some weight this 12 months. And a variety of these guys who’re making this objective have seemingly had this objective in years previous, however they’ve failed. I’m curious, in your expertise as a coach and dealing with individuals making an attempt to… With physique composition, physique fats, dropping physique fats. What’s the factor that holds individuals again from losing a few pounds? What do you even see, are the commonest roadblocks?

Dan John: Properly, first off, I’ve to take a shout out to each Earl Nightingale and Derek Severs for this little instrument I exploit, it’s referred to as… It’s referred to as The Two Quantity Purpose Sheet. And the concept may be very easy, is you discover two numbers which are necessary to you. Now, let’s simply concentrate on… Let’s simply concentrate on what you’re asking now. I exploit a bodily objective, which is… For this 12 months will likely be physique weight and like a monetary objective. However it may be… It may very well be something. I believe a quantity helps as a result of it’s so clear-cut, like if in case you have this obscure… If I used to be to say to you, “Hey, I wanna lose a number of kilos.” Properly, that simply floats off… In fact, I can say that. I pushed air previous my vocal cords, I didn’t say something. So I’ve a objective this 12 months, in actual fact, it’s arising 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 in the beginning 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.

Properly, why? Properly, 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 below that. Okay, good, we’ll simply cease with that for a second. Properly, let’s take into consideration that. Am I more healthy? Well being is… I exploit 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? Properly, I do know from blood assessments and, [chuckle] nicely, blood assessments and blood strain 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] Individuals in my household don’t reside very lengthy, so, will my longevity enhance at 211 versus 251? Properly, I can suppose, “Properly, 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 speculated to do.

I believe that weighing 211 will assist with my staying round for Leo and my different grandchildren, Danny and Josephine. Properly, will I be fitter at 211 versus 251? Properly, health is skill 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 probability of being an American file holder, possibly a world file holder at 96 kilos versus heavier than that. After which the ultimate factor, and you’ll take this nonetheless you wanna take it. Artwork De Vany, a number of years in the past, stated that self-importance after sure years is a superb cause to work out. Now, self-importance comes from the outdated Latin, it means empty, however truly, at my age, 65, self-importance might be not a foul fifth cause to do one thing. Please take heed 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 objective 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 objective, 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. Should you’re gonna have a dessert… You say such as you’re making an attempt to shed pounds, and somebody says, “Would you like a bowl of vanilla ice cream?” Properly, okay, that’s rather a lot higher than a, I don’t know, one thing… “Would you want a mint?” “Okay. No, no, I’m on a eating regimen.” “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?” “Properly, 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 objectives, is that they’ve very vanilla objectives. They’ve these obscure numbers on the market. They’ve this, “Right here… Yeah, I wanna lose a number 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 size on the weightlifting meet below 211 kilos, below 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 hand over on their objectives 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, you should have… Each objective you set has to complement type of a number of areas of your life. Has to mild up your mind in other places. I gotta let you know, if I used to be a performer, one of many issues I might 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 might at all times be blowing cinnamon into my viewers. Moreover simply me being on stage with my guitar singing love ballads from the Nineteen Fifties, I might attempt to have one thing else happening. I might attempt to… Mild up each sense I can. Mild up each a part of the mind that I may. Properly I really feel the identical method about objective setting. You gotta make it. You gotta be capable of style it, odor it, see it, hear it. Does that make sense?

Brett McKay: That is smart. And so if you’re measuring this, so that you set this objective, you wanna lose physique fats. The dimensions is gonna play a job, however do you have got every 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 let you know. Your waistline, not the measurement, however the place you place your tape modifications a bit bit each day. I believe measuring your waistline each 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, for those who 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 for those who go from 104 centimeters to 99, that simply… We people, for no matter cause, that’s like, “Wow, that’s an enormous change.” And for those who can go… So I’m an enormous 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 exploit. It’s like 5 bucks on Amazon. Very easy to make use of.

Dan John: And if Brett, if I can add yet another. We used to name them motion buddies or bragging buddies. In case you have anyone in your life you could belief, I might transfer outdoors of individuals in your house, however anyone that offers you suggestions on the way you look and the way you’re doing. A bragging buddy. Somebody you can speak to on a weekly foundation. These are the great issues happening in my life, and it’s greater than a therapist. It’s… The truth is, within the outdated Irish the phrase is “Anam Cara”, ain’t that a fantastic phrase, “soul good friend”. Somebody you’ll be able to simply say… Who will take a look at you and say, “You look good. You look completely satisfied.” And be, “Oh, thanks a lot.” And the factor a few soul good friend is you each… You need to pay attention to one another, which is a tough factor generally.

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

Dan John: Properly, guys like Clarence Bass say each day it is best to weigh in and do the tape measure. Should you already maintain a journal, if you have already got a pocket book that you simply maintain the knowledge in, I might say day by day. Should you’re new to it, possibly you would possibly wanna have an occasion, like… And boy, some individuals disagree with me right here, however the Monday morning weigh in. Each Monday morning you make, nicely, for those who don’t have… It may very well be Saturday, it doesn’t matter. However in the future every week you decide to do the weigh-in and the measurement, and type of make it an enormous deal to your self.

Brett McKay: Gotcha. Ideally, I just like the as soon as every 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 may be that I’ll have like an enormous Sunday evening dinner at my in-laws place, and that simply throws the whole lot 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 following day, if I weighed myself on Tuesday, I might be again to regular. So I time my weigh-ins on after I suppose this is sort of a regular day, it’s not like proper after I had an enormous meal. And that appeared to work for me.

Dan John: Yeah, and in case you are somebody who lifts weights three days every week, possibly Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. Should you wanna do one thing like that the place you have got 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 objective for individuals? So that you, you’ve misplaced virtually 40 kilos in 13 months, 14 months. For lots of people, what do you suppose is an inexpensive objective? If there’s somebody who’s dropping… Who must lose 25 to 50 kilos, how lengthy ought to they count on that to take?

Dan John: See… Properly, right here we run into it, don’t we. I imply significantly, that is the place we went into it. After I work with individuals, one of many issues that comes up rather a lot Brett, is that it took the particular person 40 years to place this weight on, however they wanna lose that weight in two weeks. And that’s simply not affordable. After I’m in Europe, the general public that I belief will inform me a few kilo a month, which is simply 2.2 kilos. That’s solely half a pound every 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 let you know, subsequent new years, it’s gonna be very noticeable for you. However what occurs is, is individuals don’t need that. After I… My first month, now with a fats loss shopper… And I type of insist on being paid upfront. Is the primary month is that… The primary month, it’s important to drink two glasses of water a day, and that’s it. And naturally, I develop into 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 telephone 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, for those who’re not… Should you don’t park there, you’re to name me and I’m gonna fireplace you as a shopper. Now individuals say, “Now, that is mindless.” 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 truly make… Once 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 totally different fields and I’m gonna fly to the moon.” No, you say, “I’m gonna floss one tooth each day for the primary month.” Properly, one tooth? Properly, that’s truly a typical 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 a much bigger one, to a much bigger one, to a much bigger one.

My finest shopper 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, the whole lot simply began to come back 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 numerous instructions, however when you get the momentum, issues simply begin to virtually 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 these items 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. Abruptly you see these little issues in your life that you simply used to do… Bear in mind, you’re the sum of your habits, as you sit on this chair, as we converse. What you appear like, what you have got as revenue, what you have got 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 feels like quite than simply specializing in the quantity you wanna get to, simply concentrate on the method, you concentrate on 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. Properly see, one in every of my habits is to weigh in each 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 attention-grabbing. So I do the waistline each day now, and I do the weigh in each 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 let you know. 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 each day as a result of it was type of thrilling.

Brett McKay: So that you’ve had some severe 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. Abruptly, 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 right this moment, 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 completely satisfied and… Yeah. So yeah, so the large street blocks for me are typically winter, thanksgiving, Christmas. The identical street blocks all of us have. I don’t understand how a lot of your viewers is American, however mainly, as soon as ball season comes round, I have a tendency to sit down round rather a lot and watch faculty soccer. After which whereas I’m sitting round, my selections for [chuckle].. My selections for drinks go south, my selections for… Abruptly 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 following day I truly spent a while… We’re solely doing audio right here, however proper now I’m selecting up this little… It’s a bit pocket book I’ve it’s referred to as “Memo ebook, 60 sheets”.

And each day I write in a number of concepts about how I can get my physique weight all the way down to 211. Properly, after this school soccer ball sport 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 achieved 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 large salads, I… This isn’t for everyone. However I made a decision that ’trigger I actually wish to weigh 211 at this weightlifting meet, that after we get again from the Rose Ball, I’m gonna handle enterprise in two weeks. What’s good is it… It’s virtually… It’ll be what, virtually 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 necessary. You may’t simply say, “Oh, I’m consuming pretzels and ingesting this factor I shouldn’t be ingesting, Oh, neglect it, I’m simply gonna wait till the following decade to get in form.” Handle the problem, take a look at it, provide you with a optimistic plan and reboot.

Brett McKay: Okay, alright, so yeah, I like that. So very first thing, make your objectives wealthy, measure your self day by day or weekly, after which if in case you have set… Like plan for setbacks. There’s most likely 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 attention-grabbing factor I’ve seen although. I began telling individuals… So among the individuals I work with go to those all-inclusive holidays now. And one of many issues I inform them now’s, right here’s the weirdest factor, most individuals come again from all-inclusive holidays lighter. They’re… After they step on the size 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 seaside, nice. Once you go to the buffet and it’s all you’ll be able to eat for no matter cause, individuals after they’re given all you’ll be able to eat they calm down, they de-stress and so they come again lighter. So even if you resolve, generally… Should you 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 individuals come again lighter on the size. So I believe we people have to only acknowledge that there are occasions to plant and occasions to sow. There’s time [chuckle].. There’s a time for the whole lot below 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 superb plan.

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

Dan John: Positive.

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

Dan John: We’ll make it even less complicated for you. That is what I used to be advised on the Olympic coaching middle by the dietician. “I don’t know what the large deal is. Eat protein, eat veggies, drink water.” And I keep in mind taking a look at her going, “I’m within the flawed profession area males.” But it surely comes all the way down to truthfully… My good good friend, Pat Flynn, he talks about this primary, for those who concentrate on getting sufficient protein in your eating regimen. I’m gonna up my protein. As a result of protein has this skill to make you’re feeling full, all the opposite issues appear to work themselves out. I like that type of strategy. My private strategy is, I attempt to eat eight totally different greens each day.

That is my private strategy, and what you should do is simply have… I fear about… ’trigger that is extra Josh’s area, and I’m simply… I simply kneel at his ft. However I believe the bottom line is this, decide one thing like Pat says, “I’m gonna make certain I get my protein each day.” Pat’s an enormous believer in beginning the day with a protein shake. I imagine 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 problem. So for me, by specializing in getting the greens in, I handle the protein simply naturally and drink a variety of water. So with regards to issues like amount, if in case you have vegetable soup and an enormous salad at each meal and a protein supply. After you have got that large bowl of… The vegetable soup that I’ve, large bowl is 120 energy. The salad that I make most likely is destructive energy, I don’t, I actually… After which there’s this protein.

After you eat that, then be at liberty to eat anything 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 completely satisfied and make that toddler a part of your mind completely satisfied. In the case of high quality… I used to make this joke about this eating regimen 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 that they had in males’s well being journal. And I stated, after you eat all that, be at liberty to eat anything you need. Properly, in fact, for those who may push down two kilos of salmon and 12 eggs each day, you’re not gonna be very hungry. In order that’s the place the standard aspect of issues is available in. You most likely can eat much more fried hen than you’ll be able to baked salmon. Would you agree with that?

Brett McKay: Yeah, I might agree with that. And even you’ll be able to eat extra potato chips than you’ll be able to similar to a baked potato.

Dan John: You may eat extra energy from potato chips simply, than you can baked potatoes, proper. To me, these are the… Cliche time, these are the large rocks of diet in my world. Should you’re not used to consuming a variety of protein, concentrate on protein sources. Should you’re like me and also you battle on the vegetable aspect, get your greens in. And actually, I don’t even know why we even speak about this anymore, however drink water and I’m high-quality with any calorie-free drink you resolve to do. Anyone not way back stated one thing to me, as a result of I… After I exit, I are inclined to drink eating regimen sodas. And so they stated, “Aren’t they dangerous for you?” And I’m like, “Okay. Yeah, okay. They’re… Yeah.” Actually? It’s the eating regimen soda. It’s the… On a Friday evening, I’m having a eating regimen soda. Yeah, that’s the issue on this… With my physique, is that… Yeah, so cease. We’ve gotta draw the road generally some place. The whole lot’s dangerous for you is gonna make it very tough so that you can transfer forward in your health and longevity objectives.

Brett McKay: We’re gonna take fast break for a phrase from our sponsors. And now again to the present. Properly, so for individuals 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 have got a good suggestion of like okay, that is… This has this quantity of protein, it’s most likely good, so I’m getting my proteins from this. For individuals who are simply beginning out, wouldn’t it 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… In case you have the flexibility to try this, and maintain doing it, that’s cash. For many of us, we simply use the… I’m trying on the palm of my hand. Be sure to have a palm-sized protein in each meal, after which I might say, after which make it probably the most… The whole lot else on the plate is as colourful as it may be. As many greens as applicable. One factor that I’ve been making an attempt, a good friend 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 particular person 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 suppose you’re getting in these two meals?

Dan John: [laughter] Lots.

Brett McKay: Yeah. What’s the measurement they provide you? It’s like one… I imply.8 grams per pound of physique weight? So for those who’re… Should you… Or you’ll be able to simply spherical that as much as like one gram. So for those who’re a 200-pound male, you’re taking a look at near 200 grams per…

Dan John: 90 grams… Yeah, 90. We… I just like the gram to kilos. So for those who’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, however it’s 30 grams of protein, and I pour the protein as milk.

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

Dan John: And that’s a pleasant little snack. And the rationale 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. Perhaps 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 individuals about protein as a result of some persons are like how do you get sufficient protein in your eating regimen? 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. Properly, 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 basically excessive, so that you’re at all times type of in a hunger mode. Should you like Pat Flynn’s strategy of beginning your day with 30 grams of protein, some individuals inform me, “Yeah, I weirdly get hungrier beginning the day with a protein drink.” And my thought is, “Properly, 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’ll be able to’t get sufficient protein in your eating regimen till I speak to individuals about what they eat, after which it makes extra sense.

Brett McKay: Okay. It feels like, whats attention-grabbing right here, is you’re not over-thinking these things an excessive amount of, at the least the diet half. Its similar to, get protein after which greens.

Dan John: Yeah.

Brett McKay: And that’s it. Should you’re doing that, you’re most likely doing good.

Dan John: Yeah. [chuckle] Properly, that’s what she advised me on the Olympic Coaching Middle, eat protein and greens, drink water, after which the nice line, “I don’t know why individuals make it such an enormous deal.”

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

Dan John: Yeah, okay. [laughter]

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

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

Brett McKay: Okay, sizzling water.

Dan John: And years in the past after I was at dinner with the Pavel. 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 sizzling water with lemon. And he kinda elbows me and says, “It’s proved to assist your digestion.” So after this large dinner, and belief me, if you exit with kettlebell individuals, your dinner is gonna be meat, okay, it’s gonna be meat. And so I’m simply sitting there ingesting this sizzling water with lemon and I’m like, “Huh, that’s attention-grabbing.” A few years later, my daughter Kelly is telling me about the advantages of ingesting sizzling water. Properly, then I had a good friend say, “Properly, that’s simply primary 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 sizzling 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 particular person says it. And so I began doing it. Within the afternoons, I’ve a sizzling pot, after which I’ve these bottles of concentrated lemon juice, ?

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 advised 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 particular person on the film going… As soon as I began ingesting sizzling conflict with the lemon, it stopped and somebody stated, “Properly, 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 proud of that too.” So, okay, whether or not or not it truly clears out mucus, I don’t know. Whether or not or not that assists with fats loss, I believe it would. It’s a little bit of a diuretic, as I’ve seen. My joke is I drink one cup and pee two, however it does appear to do one thing, and it may very well be so simple as this. Whereas I’m ingesting sizzling 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 need to go to the intense, 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 risk. 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 this.” And I’ll… And one thing I seen after I was ingesting, I bought fairly sweaty. I used to be getting sizzling…

Dan John: Yeah, me too.

Brett McKay: Simply from ingesting sizzling water, which was attention-grabbing, however I preferred it. It was a solution to drink liquids that was totally different from simply ingesting lukewarm faucet water, and it was fulfilling, and in any case, 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 ended doing the… Nonsense. It stops it. Perhaps it does, possibly it hydrates us up, possibly it raises that basal metabolism up a number of drops, okay. Perhaps it’s… Makes the physique need to work a bit more durable 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 Loss of life 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 sizzling 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 sizzling water. I’m not gonna make a billion {dollars} on this.

Brett McKay: Yeah, so I assume, give it a shot. It’d be just right for you. So, we’ve talked in regards to the diet part, and it’s fairly simple. Nothing to… You don’t need to suppose too exhausting about it. You’ve talked about you’re an enormous fan of intermittent fasting for fats loss. That’s your solution to go. Why is that? Why do you suppose that’s working for you?

Dan John: Properly, I’m not happy 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. Someday I simply kinda… I used to be listening to all these individuals speaking about these things, and I’m like… And I began to quick and I noticed what a niche there was. Now, I’m not bragging, Brett, however I’ve super self-discipline, besides when it got here to fasting. And what I did is I noticed this group 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 an enormous believer within the intestine biome stuff too, having a wholesome colony inside, wildlife within 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 may 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?” Properly, 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 bit 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 achieved 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 assumed, “I believe you’re lacking the purpose.” They had been considering of the physique as a machine, which is ok ’trigger elements 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. After I’m fasting and I’ve gotta write one thing, my eye… I’m glued to the display. After I’m fasting and I am going to exercise, like right this moment 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 combat this conflict and… ”

And in order that’s why I prefer it a lot. I like what it does for my skill to take care of meals first. I like what it does for my work as an creator. 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 totally different protocols, there’s other ways to do it.

Dan John: You can actually… You can do one thing so simple as quick modified diets, that’s Valter Longo’s work the place as soon as a month you’re taking a 3 or 4 day interval and eat 800 energy a day. You can do the 5 two the place two days every week you quick. One other nice one, in the future every week, you eat dinner and you then don’t eat till the following dinner. That’s fairly easy, proper? Something you are able to do to type of get management of your… Don’t take this flawed, 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, however it’s this fried greasy hen sandwich. And it’s mouth watering or one thing like that they stated. Properly, I watched that and I’ll be like, I can now flip off mentally that business. My ability, as a result of I quick, I’m… I constructed up the muscle of turning off on the spot gratification. And there’s a number of listeners who’re most likely going, “I believe I do know what he means.” You’ll be capable of sluggish 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 virtually at all times eat between 5:00 and 6 o’clock at evening, dinner. I rise 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 individuals 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 speak in regards to the train program you really useful for fats loss, it’s Simple Power. Give us an enormous image overview of the train we’re specializing in right here and what number of occasions we’re coaching every week etcetera.

Dan John: Okay, however there’s the million greenback factor on the finish of it, okay. So for those who can, in your good world, if you need… Should you wanna do the Dan John methodology of simple fats loss, for those who can come into your exercise fasted. That’s… Properly, in fact, technically, for those who’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 simplest method I do know is Simple Power, so mainly, we’re gonna do a vertical press, an overhead press, dumbbell press, kettlebell press, barbell press. Perhaps three units of three. Some type of vertical pull, that may do lat pull-downs, chin-ups, pull-ups. Get a few whole, 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 may 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 among the most underrated items of kit on the earth. One set of 10 is all you want as a result of with this program you’re gonna do it three to 5 occasions every 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 for those who’re gonna do kettlebell swings it might be about 5 units of 15. You’re simply making an attempt to get your coronary heart fee 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 carry. 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 a complete bunch of stuff. Your coronary heart fee’s elevated. When you begin strolling, your physique now has an opportunity, in keeping 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, however it works. So, this quick exercise, we’re taking a look at 10-Quarter-hour within the… Of a exercise, after which the half-hour, 45-minute stroll has simply been probably the most illuminating change in my profession.

Brett McKay: And once more, just like the diet stuff, that is very easy. I believe lots of people suppose they’re gonna need to spend an hour within the health club. Right here it’s Quarter-hour, you don’t even want a health club, 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 for those who 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, in fact, 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 nicely. I truthfully suppose, that most individuals put themselves in such a state of not simply bodily exhaustion, however even like… When individuals take into consideration dropping fats, fairly often, they go to the seven lethal sins and so they suppose 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 maintain the fats ’trigger you’re freaking your physique out.

What I’m making an attempt to do with the Simple Power For Fats Loss Protocol, is coach your physique and say, “Hey, issues are high-quality, issues are… Yeah, we fasted, we had a exercise, however now now we have a pleasant meal, right here’s some protein, right here’s some greens. Huh, see issues are high-quality.” And the physique seems to be as much as me and says, “Oh, thanks for being so variety, let’s drop a few of these fats cells, we could? Yeah, let’s try this.” After which we ship Luke Skywalker in with that sizzling water with lemon and he’s capturing up. [laughter]

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

Dan John: No. And also you’re not beating your self. And right here’s the humorous factor, is that it is a factor that we’ve misplaced within the health trade, is nudging your self within the fats loss. Might you think about, I at all times use… After I speak about weightlifting, I at all times use the concept of studying methods to kind. Might you think about you had somebody standing subsequent to you as you had been studying to kind, screaming in your ear, “It’s all you. Hit that A, hit that A. Yo! Together with your pinkie, hit that A. Come on man! Go go, go!” What would you… What wouldn’t it appear like on the display if somebody was screaming at you the place the letters had been? It will look horrible. So the way you learn to kind, is you go in on a regular basis and also you kind, 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 stream. And in the future you find yourself like the place I’m mainly at now, the place I can kind virtually as quick as I can suppose. And it’s not ever as a result of anybody’s ever slapped my face or made me drink an vitality drink earlier than I went typing. I simply nudged myself day by day for a very long time, to develop into a greater and higher and higher typer.

So for those who nudge your self, for those who quick, and you then do that light, this exercise, you push it, there’s nothing with going heavy and getting these hundreds up. And you then go for a stroll, and you then come dwelling and you’ve got protein and veggies and also you drink some water, after which afterward you have got extra protein, extra veggies and drink some water, possibly afterward that day you have got extra protein, extra veggies and drink some water. Your physique shouldn’t 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 speak extra about this strolling. ‘Trigger you’re an enormous proponent of strolling. So that you’re gonna do your 15-minute exercise within the health club, 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 have got 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 a fantastic 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 variety of success with some purchasers who had been within the mid-300s body weight working with me. And truthfully, all I attempt to do, it might be the straightforward 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 shopper had, he weighed 350. And boy inside… I imply, it appeared like a blink of a watch, he was all the way down to 320, and I’m considering, “Man, I’m good.” After which he bought to about 290 and the whole lot stalled. After which I had seen that this had occurred to anyone else years in the past, after which it type of hit me. Should you 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 pounds, as you get lighter and lighter, you develop into the curse of what fats loss train is all about.

Fats loss’ train, is about being as inefficient as you could be. So for those who’re an excellent dancer and we take a dance class collectively, I’m gonna be dying subsequent to you whilst you simply go, step-ball-change, step-ball-change. In order this particular person 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 develop into increasingly environment friendly as a walker, so what we started to do then was add a quite simple… A college backpack is simply high-quality. And at first, it doesn’t need to be very a lot weight, you’ll be able to 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 rise up to about 30. When you get round 30-35 kilos, 15 kilos, there may be not a variety of worth in including weight to the backpack anymore. Now you’re gonna get individuals in your present who’re army and so they’ll say, “Properly, 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 particular person… 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 might 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 excited about it, after which after… And I wouldn’t go a lot over 5 pound ankle weights. After which I wish to put heavy fingers, weights within the fingers, and I’ve found that truthfully, 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 one in every of my purchasers… ‘Trigger you see them strolling down the road, with a backpack with plate within the again, with vivid inexperienced ankle weights and pink heavy fingers. That’s how you bought a Dan John particular person proper there, yeah.

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

Dan John: Precisely, precisely. And right here’s the factor, you’re nonetheless about that 30-45 minute vary. The issue now we have if you work with… Constructing into working, and you’ll… This isn’t my phrase, however it’s referred to as, the fats jogger syndrome. The place the particular person runs increasingly and extra and turns into more and more fatter as they run. It’s not common, however it does occur with some individuals, as a result of they develop into very environment friendly at working and so they begin doing what the runners referred to as rubbish miles. I’m a former monitor 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: Properly, Dan, this has been a fantastic dialog. We talked about rather a lot and it’s fairly easy, I imply, recap, make certain your objectives are wealthy, that your weight reduction or fats loss objective is wealthy. Measure your self repeatedly. Once you eat, get protein, greens, possibly intermittent quick, possibly drink some sizzling water to get the Luke Skywalker impact. [chuckle] After which the train shouldn’t be exhausting, Quarter-hour within the health club after which stroll, after which sooner or later possibly make your stroll a bit extra inefficient by including some weight. Is that it?

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

Brett McKay: Properly, Dan John, the place can individuals go to study extra about your work?

Dan John: Yeah, nicely… Oh, and by the best way, I talked to Brian, he’s prolonged that low cost to your listeners once more, okay? And make… Should you may put that within the notes, it might imply rather a lot to me.
