MI Take

Introduction: Hey Everyone, I am Brad Dieter, the COO of Macros Inc, a nutrition and fitness coaching company and this is MI Take, a podcast that discusses current events in nutrition, the business side of the health and fitness industry, and a little of everything in between. Let's dive into it. Nutrition Insights: Protein in a Single Meal. The anabolic response to protein ingestion during recovery from exercise has no upper limit in magnitude and duration in vivo in humansThe context of this study0, 20, 40 study - tromellen 20190, 40, 70 study - kim et al 2016Bolus vs spaced out feeding - areta 2013 study Anabolic windowThey fed people 0, 25, and 100 grams of protein.Amino acid levels in the blood remained elevated for up to 6 hours post the 100 grams but not quite that long for the 25 grams.PS and PB were measured and protein synthesis was highest in the 100 grams as was the net balance. FSR or essentially the rate of muscle accretion was highest in the 100 grams, which was elevated out to 6 hours and was highest in the 100 grams.The anabolic response is > 12 hours.No limit to protein-derived amino acid bioavailability and subsequent tissue incorporationWe have previously estimated that the ingestion of 20 g protein results in 10% (2 g) of the ingested-protein-derived amino acids to become incorporated in skeletal muscle tissue throughout a 6-h postprandial period.4 In the current study, we calculated that 12%, 15%, and 18% of the ingested protein was incorporated into skeletal muscle following ingestion of 25 g protein throughout 4-, 8-, and 12-h periods, respectivelyQuite a lot ends up in circulation with ~10-15% in muscle post meal. As you increase protein in a meal more of what gets incorporated into your muscle comes from what you ate, not the free amino acid pool. Business Insights: Finite vs Infinite GamesWhat I am learning Today: Stability is a False HopeDaily Win: Got season 4 spun up againDaily Learning Lesson: Time goes much faster than you expect, don't waste any of it.  Visit us at macrosinc.net to enroll in our fitness and nutrition coaching program!

Time goes fast. In a few years you'll be where you will be… do you want that time to have been spent moving your forward or wasted?You are 100% responsible for your decisions. Decide what outcome you want to put the odds in favor of and make that decision.Bet on yourself above all else. You have control over nothing but yourself.Chose your relationships in life wisely. They are either assets or liabilities. They are never neutral.Things don't matter… meaning the things you buy. Material stuff really doesn't improve your life. Invest in skills, people, time, experience.Skills, knowledge, and mindset are the things in this world that can never be taken from you. Invest heavily in time and money in those things.Your reputation takes a lifetime to build and a minute to ruin. Be careful in your decisions.Aging is inevitable. The rate of aging can be controlled. And it's only a one way street. Take care of yourself because going backwards in time is impossible.No one can decide what is important for you but you.Complaining feels good in the moment, but it never solves the problem or moves your life forward. Don't waste time on it.Don't let anyone tell you something isn't possible. Especially if they haven't tried. Find out for yourself. At least you learned everything along the way until you hit the wall.If you don't show up for yourself, you can't show up for others as your best self. It's not selfish to put your needs high on the list, it's selfish to be the less than the best version of yourself.Compound interest should never ever ever be ignored. Time is the biggest thing here. Start early. Compound interest isn't just stock market… it's all things in your life.Quit. Seriously. If something you are doing doesn't align with your long term goal, don't do it. Get on the long term path as fast as possible.Think slow, act fast.Be very careful with your words. Once things are said, they cannot be unsaid. Make sure you say what you mean and you mean what you say.Money isn't good or bad. It's a tool.Life is about who you become along the way. Your personhood is shaped by the trials you endure. Decide what trials are meaningful.Give way more than you take.Once trust is broken it can never be fully repaired. Remember that when you make decisions.People aren't disposable. They are people. They carry you with them the rest of their lives.Never be afraid to be quiet. You learn more from listening than speaking.Pay yourself first. Take from yourself last.Forgiveness is for you, not them.Think bigger than you think is reasonable. Life isn't about being small.Be kind and gentle, but not weak.You can have anything you want, but not everything. Decide what you want and go deep on that.Create more than you consume.Reading and conversation and your two biggest super powers for improving your life.Knowledge without action is wasted.Understand leverage, don't abuse it.Being polite requires zero skill.The harder you work and the more chances you take the greater your odds are of a lucky break.If it costs you mental peace, don't buy it or do it.Patience is the most underrated skill you can develop… but don't conflate patience with complacency.

Here are some of the mental tools I have picked up over the years that have massively helped me. 00:00 - Intro 1:45 - You can't control your emotions, you can control your actions 3:48 - The formula for success 6:00 - Carrying trauma 7:38 - No one is thinking about you 8:45 - How to have difficult conversations 10:25 - Just do more reps 13:22 - Free will is an illusion 14:45 - This too shall pass

Over the last 8 years of my career the companies I have owned have sold over 40,000 people coaching and these are the hard earned lessons from those 8 years 0:00 - Intro 1:37 - People Want Solution 2:46 - You Have to Ask for the Sale 4:05 - Deliver Your Service, No One Else's 5:20 - Talk With People, Not At People 6:25 - Community and Proof Matter...

On this episode of the podcast we talk about why you get frustrated, why hard is what it is, why it's not failure if you learn new skills, and why you should never underestimate the value of time.

Making decisions conducive to your goals. Leadership is more about what you do than what you say. Have a conviction, decide if you are willing to deal with the negative that might happen, and move forward. The longer you sit in indecision, the longer you are delaying the potential positive. Thinking about doing the work is actually more stressful and anxiety inducing than just doing the work.

On this episode of the podcast we talk about GMOS and why they aren't really what you think they are... and more importantly, how you should think about them.

On this episode of the show we talk all about how to handle it when the people around you don't directly support your goals.

On this episode of the podcast we talk all about maintenance and the tips, tricks, and mental hacks you need to succeed over the long term.

On this episode of the podcast we talk about Peloton's shift in business strategy and whether it is paying off and we discuss the recent news on artificial sweeteners from the WHO.

On this episode of the podcast we talk about what it takes to build a long-term sustainable life (business and fitness) and what role AI and tools like ChatGPT will have in service businesses over the next decade.

Here is Everything You Need To Know About Nutrition And Weight Loss. This is gonna be a doozy... but you need to know it. I have written about this a bit before... but this is the expanded version. Here we go.. Concept 1: Food is energy and nutrients. All the food and drinks you consume contain two main things: Calories and nutrients. Calories are the energy found in the food. That energy is what keeps you alive and why we have to eat. That energy is what lets your heart beat and your lungs breathe and your legs move. The nutrients in your food are what allow your body to perform specific functions. Those nutrients are what allow your body to make energy and the material you need to make new cells. Concept 2: You need enough, but not too much. Your body is like everything else in the universe, meaning it is governed by the laws of physics.That means your body needs energy coming in to keep it functioning (energy going out). If you have too much energy going in your body gains mass (weight). This can be good or bad depending on the context. If you have too little energy going in your body loses mass (weight). This can be good or bad depending on the context. To gain or lose weight you need to find the right net negative or net positive. Concept 3: The best way to change your weight is to make an educated guess and track your energy intake. Look… here is the deal. If you live outside of a scientific laboratory the best way to change your weight is to do the following 3 steps: 1) Make the best guess you can about what your body expends in a day. This is what our calculator does 2) Track your energy intake (calories) very closely for a few weeks, preferably 4-6 weeks and see if your body weight changes in the direction you want to go. 3) If it is going in the right direction, keep doing that. If it isn't, adjust your calorie intake up or down a few hundred calories and keep going. Repeat this exercise. Concept 4: Energy is priority but nutrients matter. Remember how food has energy (calories) and nutrients? Well there are two main kind of nutrients and they are divided based on two criteria: whether they provide energy or not and how large of quantities we consume them in. Macronutrients is the first type. These contain calories and are consumed in the order of magnitude of ~10 grams to 1000 grams. Protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram. Fat is 9 calories per gram. Micronutrients is the second type. These do not contain calories and are consumed in quantities 30 grams in one meal and it doesn't all go to waste. That's pure balderdash (great game btw, you should play it).  CARBOHYDRATES Carbohydrates apart from fiber don't seem to impact weight loss any differently than dietary fat, thus once protein targets are met, carb and fat ratios can vary considerably with little to no difference.Assuming you have enough carbs to fuel your training and performance, consuming more doesn't help you set more PRs or burn more calories.Fiber, as a carbohydrate, does play some role in weight loss, but it is centered mostly around it's ability to provide satiety with very minimal (or zero) calories.Low calorie and higher calorie fibrous carbs like broccoli, spinach, zucchini, beans, berries, and potatoes are some of the most filling foods you can include in your diet. Practically speaking, it's quite difficult to be full and satiated on a low calorie diet without eating fibrous carbohydrates.We recommend you eat 5 servings of them a day. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 1-2 fruits and/or vegetables at every meal. When possible reduce added sugars but you don't have to eliminate them. Fructose is FINEEEEE. Under 100 grams a day and no major health issues noted.FATS Fat is similar in importance to carbohydrates. Having higher fat and lower carb may cause more additional water loss, but this is merely short term. This happens because lower carb diets can cause some glycogen loss from your muscles thus withdrawing water. Some people like this for initial motivation as the scale drops a little faster initially.But I can't emphasize the word initially enough as long term higher fat vs higher carb diets level out.Eating more or less in relation to carbs makes no difference in long term weight loss in all lines of research assuming calories and protein are matched.Thus for most standard diets, once protein is met and fat is set at a healthy level for hormone production, your remaining calories can be any macro, so if you enjoy higher fat foods, feel free to eat more fat. If you prefer more carbs, that's fine too. Either way, there is no long term difference.Now, there is the exception with the trendy ketogenic diet which is high fat and very low carb diet. While the ketogenic diet is not always adherable for everyone and possesses no physiological advantage, it does have an appetite suppressing effect.Indeed, we see in research, by taking fat higher and dropping net carbs (non-fiber carbs) to low extremes, the state of ketosis can suppress appetite quite well making weight loss simple and easier for some people (2).But unless you're ok with giving up sugary/starchy carbs for a long consistent period of time, we recommend for most people they simply eat a reasonable amount of both carbs and fat. With enough protein and fiber, you can still greatly suppress your appetite. Concept 11: Artificial Sweeteners Require Some Nuance This is gonna ruffle some jimmies but here is what we know about artificial sweeteners. They definitely do not cause weight gain... we know that with like 99% certainty (nothing in 'science' is 100%). They have not been shown to cause any real health issues. HOWEVER... some people report GI distress or headaches after consuming certain ones... if that is you, just skip it. Sort of like most people are fine with peanuts but if you have an allergy... you don't have to eat peanut butter. There is some evidence that certain ones have different effects on blood sugar depending on your microbiome... but that really doesn't tell us that much about outcomes. Again... if you find certain ones don't agree with you... Don't consume them. Concept 12: Alcohol In Moderation Is Probably Ok... But It Isn't Helping. Alcohol is empty calories, changes your decision making around food, and sort of puts the brakes on fat metabolism while it deals with the alcohol so be mindful of your intake. If you choose to drink here is how you limit its effect on your progress. MAKE SURE YOU ACCOUNT FOR IT IN YOUR CALORIES.Weight loss is fundamentally about energy balance. If you want to lose weight or gain weight, you have to ensure that you take energy balance into account, which includes alcohol consumption.Tracking your alcohol intake is a great way to account for your alcohol intake and ensuring that you are hitting your caloric needs.From a calorie perspective, there are a few ways to track your intake.The first is to simply utilize entries in tracking programs like My Macros+ or the actual labels on the drinks (store-bought drinks such as beer or seltzers are required to have calorie information on them).Secondly, you can track each individual ingredient in a mixed drink and assign 7 calories per gram of alcohol (a standard shot contains ~14 grams).DON'T LET ALCOHOL INFLUENCE YOUR FOOD CHOICES.I am as guilty of this as anyone.I have a few drinks and all of a sudden that plate of nachos I wasn't planning on touching has now vanished.Consuming alcohol lowers your inhibitions and your ability to control food intake. Most research shows that as alcohol consumption goes up, so does your calorie intake.KEEP YOUR DRINKS SIMPLE.Simply put, the more complicated and more ingredients in your drink, the more calories it probably has.For example, the average Pina Colada has around ~300 calories in a single drink while a Long Island Iced Tea has ~800 calories.Conversely, a vodka-soda or rum and Diet Coke has
