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 web site, my pal Gabriel Klausmo makes use of your web site together with his college students, as a result of he thinks that there’s some gaps in trendy schooling. Which I agree with and, man, I watch us drop some issues out of educating, it was like, “Okay, nice. I get… We’re reacting, we’re… ” However there have been some issues or some fundamentals that I nonetheless assume we have to cope with.
Brett McKay: Oh wow. I’m glad, thanks a lot. I’m glad that the positioning’s been helpful for you and for folk you recognize. I wished to convey 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 wished to convey you again, ’trigger it’s a brand new 12 months and I do know a whole lot of males who’re listening are setting objectives, and one of many objectives a few of these guys are in all probability setting is to lose some weight this 12 months. And a whole lot of these guys who’re making this aim have probably had this aim in years previous, however they’ve failed. I’m curious, in your expertise as a coach and dealing with individuals attempting to… With physique composition, physique fats, dropping physique fats. What’s the factor that holds individuals again from shedding weight? What do you even see, are the most typical roadblocks?
Dan John: Properly, first off, I’ve to take a shout out to each Earl Nightingale and Derek Severs for this little software I exploit, it’s known as… It’s known as The Two Quantity Purpose Sheet. And the concept could 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 aim, which is… For this 12 months will probably be physique weight and like a monetary aim. However it may be… It could possibly be something. I believe a quantity helps as a result of it’s so clear-cut, like in case you have this obscure… If I used to be to say to you, “Hey, I wanna lose just a few kilos.” Properly, that simply floats off… After all, I can say that. I pushed air previous my vocal cords, I didn’t say something. So I’ve a aim this 12 months, in reality, it’s developing the date that it’s due, is gonna be February twelfth. I wanna get right 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 whenever 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 beneath 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 exams and, [chuckle] nicely, blood exams 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 dwell very lengthy, so, will my longevity enhance at 211 versus 251? Properly, I can assume, “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 potential to do a process, 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 in the case of efficiency, I believe I’ve a greater likelihood of being an American document holder, perhaps a world document holder at 96 kilos versus heavier than that. After which the ultimate factor, and you may take this nevertheless you wanna take it. Artwork De Vany, just a few years in the past, stated that vainness after sure years is a good motive to work out. Now, vainness comes from the outdated Latin, it means empty, however really, at my age, 65, vainness might be not a foul fifth motive 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 aim for me. There’s my grandchildren confirmed up on this dialog, my general well being confirmed up, my weight lifting confirmed up. I look higher, to me that’s what you want whenever you take a look at a health aim, it must have… Brett, it must have… It needs to be full. It needs to be ripe. It needs to be…
Brett McKay: Wealthy. It needs to be wealthy.
Dan John: Juicy, wealthy, yeah. You’re with me. When you’re gonna have a dessert… You say such as you’re attempting to shed some pounds, and somebody says, “Would you like a bowl of vanilla ice cream?” Properly, okay, that’s lots higher than a, I don’t know, one thing… “Would you want a mint?” “Okay. No, no, I’m on a weight loss program.” “Bowl of vanilla ice cream?” “No.” “I spent… That is my grandmother’s recipe. I spent six weeks placing this collectively and I’m simply gonna gentle 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 just a little 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 just a few 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 once I speak about stepping on the size on the weightlifting meet beneath 211 kilos, beneath 96 Ok, after which stepping on the platform not lengthy after that and snatching and clear jerking. That simply sort 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’ll want to have… Each aim you set has to complement sort of a number of areas of your life. Has to gentle 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, perhaps 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 scent 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 Fifties, I might attempt to have one thing else occurring. I might attempt to… Gentle up each sense I can. Gentle up each a part of the mind that I might. Properly I really feel the identical approach about aim setting. You gotta make it. You gotta have the ability to style it, scent it, see it, hear it. Does that make sense?
Brett McKay: That is sensible. And so whenever you’re measuring this, so that you set this aim, you wanna lose physique fats. The size is gonna play a task, however do you will have another methods you measure fats loss that you just like to make use of?
Dan John: Yeah. Proper right here on my desk as I’m sitting right here, I’ve two issues known as tape measures. I recommend you measure… Now, it’s troublesome since you’re waistline… Anyone who’s ever measured their waistline will let you know. Your waistline, not the measurement, however the place you set your tape modifications just a little bit day by day. I believe measuring your waistline day by day is a very 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, in case you go from 39 and fifteenth, sixteenth right down to 39, and I don’t know three 8, that doesn’t imply a lot. However in case you go from 104 centimeters to 99, that simply… We people, for no matter motive, that’s like, “Wow, that’s a giant change.” And in case you can go… So I’m a giant fan of measuring your waistline in centimeters.
Brett McKay: Gotcha. Alright, so measuring we’re gonna use a scale. We’re gonna use a measuring tape. I like MyoTape, that’s the one which I 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. When you have someone in your life which you could belief, I might transfer outdoors of individuals in your house, however someone that provides you with suggestions on the way you look and the way you’re doing. A bragging buddy. Somebody you might discuss to on a weekly foundation. These are the great issues occurring in my life, and it’s greater than a therapist. It’s… In truth, within the outdated Irish the phrase is “Anam Cara”, ain’t that an attractive phrase, “soul pal”. Somebody you possibly can simply say… Who will take a look at you and say, “You look good. You look pleased.” And be, “Oh, thanks a lot.” And the factor a couple of soul pal is you each… It’s important to pay attention to one another, which is a troublesome factor typically.
Brett McKay: How steadily do you advocate individuals measuring themselves for the… After they’re gauging their fats loss?
Dan John: Properly, guys like Clarence Bass say day by day you need to weigh in and do the tape measure. When you already hold a journal, if you have already got a pocket book that you just hold the data in, I might say each day. When you’re new to it, perhaps you would possibly wanna have an occasion, you recognize like… And boy, some individuals disagree with me right here, however the Monday morning weigh in. Each Monday morning you make, nicely, in case you don’t have… It could possibly be Saturday, it doesn’t matter. However sooner or later per week you decide to do the weigh-in and the measurement, and kind of make it a giant deal to your self.
Brett McKay: Gotcha. Ideally, I just like the as soon as per week. I do mine on Friday morning.
Dan John: Okay.
Brett McKay: ‘Trigger I really feel like with the Monday morning, the issue I’ve had there may be that I’ll have like a giant Sunday evening dinner at my in-laws place, and that simply throws every little thing off ’trigger I’m sort of bloated. I’m retaining water ’trigger I ate some rolls and a few cheese cake, or no matter. And so I’m simply gonna be heavier. I’m gonna look heavier, I’m gonna weigh heavier. However then the subsequent day, if I weighed myself on Tuesday, I might be again to regular. So I time my weigh-ins on once I assume this is sort of a regular day, it’s not like proper after I had a giant meal. And that appeared to work for me.
Dan John: Yeah, and if you’re somebody who lifts weights three days per week, perhaps Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. When you wanna do one thing like that the place you will have only a day the place it’s quiet, and also you… So your work out for that day can be the weigh-in and the tape measure.
Brett McKay: Let’s speak about this. What’s an inexpensive fats loss aim for individuals? So that you, you’ve misplaced virtually 40 kilos in 13 months, 14 months. For lots of people, what do you assume is an inexpensive aim? If there’s somebody who’s dropping… Who must lose 25 to 50 kilos, how lengthy ought to they anticipate 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 lots 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 cheap. After I’m in Europe, the general public that I belief will inform me a couple of kilo a month, which is just 2.2 kilos. That’s solely half a pound per week, and that’s not very noticeable. And most of the people… If I put you on a weight-loss program, a fats loss program, and also you misplaced two kilos a month, I gotta 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 sort of insist on being paid upfront. Is the primary month is that… The primary month, you must drink two glasses of water a day, and that’s it. And naturally, I turn 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 whenever you’re consuming that second glass of water.
And month two, we simply discover a parking house 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 just work with, in case you’re not… When 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 build up 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 known as tiny habits. So that you really make… While you’re attempting to do a life change, you don’t say, “I’m gonna… This 12 months, I’m gonna lose 100 kilos, I’m gonna get a Doctorate in two completely different fields and I’m gonna fly to the moon.” No, you say, “I’m gonna floss one tooth day by day for the primary month.” Properly, one tooth? Properly, that’s really 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 greatest 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 obtained the momentum of the habits, every little thing simply began to return into play. And he was shocked. He started to have 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 obtained into the behavior of doing issues, he actually began getting momentum. To me, fats loss is rather like an athletic profession, perhaps 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 e book and also you’ll see a discus thrower in there.
For instance, once 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 whenever you’re attempting 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 just used to do… Bear in mind, you’re the sum of your habits, as you sit on this chair, as we communicate. What you seem like, what you will have as earnings, what you will have as… In your social and your loved ones life, it’s all the buildup of the habits you’ve had since actually you began having your personal free will. Mainly whenever you began strolling for your self.
Brett McKay: Okay, so it feels like somewhat than simply specializing in the quantity you wanna get to, simply concentrate on the method, you concentrate on these habits, and as you do this, issues are gonna begin to gel, issues are gonna begin to click on for you.
Dan John: Yeah. Properly see, considered one of my habits is to weigh in day by day. However I don’t even… I don’t even give it some thought like that anymore, to be sincere with you, I don’t give it some thought as [chuckle].. Isn’t that fascinating. So I do the waistline day by day now, and I do the weigh in day by 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 once I obtained 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 right down to 218, it was like, “Man, let’s simply drop right down to 211.” And I began weighing in day by day as a result of it was sort of thrilling.
Brett McKay: So that you’ve had some severe momentum this 12 months with your personal 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 known 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 once I went outdoors to work out at 9:30 at this time, I didn’t wanna return out within the chilly, and I simply wished to… I actually simply wished to place a blanket on and eat one thing that might make me pleased 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 know the way a lot of your viewers is American, however principally, as soon as ball season comes round, I have a tendency to take a seat round lots and watch school 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 subsequent day I really spent a while… We’re solely doing audio right here, however proper now I’m selecting up this little… It’s just a little pocket book I’ve it’s known as “Memo e book, 60 sheets”.
And day by day I write in just a few concepts about how I can get my physique weight right down to 211. Properly, after this school soccer ball recreation incident, I made a decision that subsequent week, I’m gonna begin… I’m gonna do as soon as once more, Rusty Morris fats loss enhance. I’ve accomplished it as soon as earlier than. It’s simply two weeks, however principally, 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 once we get again from the Rose Ball, I’m gonna deal with 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 consuming this factor I shouldn’t be consuming, Oh, overlook it, I’m simply gonna wait till the subsequent decade to get in form.” Tackle the difficulty, take a look at it, give you a constructive plan and reboot.
Brett McKay: Okay, alright, so yeah, I like that. So very first thing, make your objectives wealthy, measure your self each day or weekly, after which in case you have set… Like plan for setbacks. There’s in all probability gonna be setbacks alongside the best way ’trigger we’re human beings.
Dan John: No, there are setbacks.
Brett McKay: Yeah, there are setbacks.
Dan John: There’s weddings, there’ anniversaries, there’s birthdays, there’s… There’s all types of issues. Right here’s one fascinating 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. While you go to the buffet and it’s all you possibly can eat for no matter motive, individuals after they’re given all you possibly can eat they calm down, they de-stress and so they come again lighter. So even whenever you resolve, typically… When 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 instances to sow. There’s time [chuckle].. There’s a time for every little thing beneath the solar. And I believe the error is simply saying, “I’m chubby, I’m gonna train and never eat.” That’s simply not plan.
Brett McKay: Okay, so that you’ve obtained… Let’s discuss concerning the how of how one can lose fats.
Dan John: Certain.
Brett McKay: You’ve obtained this actually surprisingly easy define for fats loss that you just’ve based mostly in your “Straightforward Energy Program”, and we’ll speak about every of the parts of your method, however it all begins with meals. You co-author a e book with Josh Hillis, and also you guys recommend that in the case of meals, individuals ought to concentrate on three issues, amount, high quality, and ratio. Are you able to stroll us by way of these three parts?
Dan John: We’ll make it even easier 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 bear in mind taking a look at her going, “I’m within the improper profession subject males.” However it comes right down to actually… My good pal, Pat Flynn, he talks about this primary, in case you concentrate on getting sufficient protein in your weight loss program. I’m gonna up my protein. As a result of protein has this potential to make you are feeling full, all the opposite issues appear to work themselves out. I like that sort of method. My private method is, I attempt to eat eight completely different greens day by day.
That is my private method, and what you’ll want to do is simply have… I fear about… ’trigger that is extra Josh’s subject, and I’m simply… I simply kneel at his toes. However I believe the hot button is this, decide one thing like Pat says, “I’m gonna be sure I get my protein day by day.” Pat’s a giant 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 straightforward for me to get my protein in. It’s at all times been straightforward as a result of I grew up within the 60s with power and well being journal and protein was like a god, okay. However for me, the greens has at all times been the difficulty. So for me, by specializing in getting the greens in, I deal with the protein simply naturally and drink a whole lot of water. So in the case of issues like amount, in case you have vegetable soup and a giant salad at each meal and a protein supply. After you will have that large bowl of… The vegetable soup that I’ve, large bowl is 120 energy. The salad that I make in all probability is detrimental energy, I don’t, I actually… After which there’s this protein.
After you eat that, then be happy 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 pleased and make that toddler a part of your mind pleased. In the case of high quality… I used to make this joke about this weight loss program I had invented the place you needed to eat on a regular basis, two kilos of salmon, a dozen eggs, a container of cottage cheese, a carton of blueberries. It was a listing that they’d in males’s well being journal. And I stated, after you eat all that, be happy to eat anything you need. Properly, in fact, in case you might push down two kilos of salmon and 12 eggs day by day, you’re not gonna be very hungry. In order that’s the place the standard facet of issues is available in. You in all probability can eat much more fried hen than you possibly can baked salmon. Would you agree with that?
Brett McKay: Yeah, I might agree with that. And even you possibly can eat extra potato chips than you possibly can identical to a baked potato.
Dan John: You may eat extra energy from potato chips simply, than you might baked potatoes, proper. To me, these are the… Cliche time, these are the large rocks of diet in my world. When you’re not used to consuming a whole lot of protein, concentrate on protein sources. When you’re like me and also you wrestle on the vegetable facet, get your greens in. And actually, I don’t even know why we even speak about this anymore, however drink water and I’m high-quality with any calorie-free drink you resolve to do. Any individual not way back stated one thing to me, as a result of I… After I exit, I are likely to drink weight loss program sodas. They usually stated, “Aren’t they unhealthy for you?” And I’m like, “Okay. Yeah, okay. They’re… Yeah.” Actually? It’s the weight loss program soda. It’s the… On a Friday evening, I’m having a weight loss program soda. Yeah, that’s the issue on this… With my physique, is that… Yeah, so cease. We’ve gotta draw the road typically some place. Every little thing’s unhealthy for you is gonna make it very troublesome 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 many who had been simply beginning out. For you… You’ve been doing this for what number of… 40 odd years, 50 years perhaps.
Dan John: I’ve been lifting weights since 1965.
Brett McKay: Okay. So you will have a good suggestion of like okay, that is… This has this quantity of protein, it’s in all probability good, so I’m getting my proteins from this. For individuals who are simply beginning out, wouldn’t it be helpful to measure issues out, and sort of take a look at a health buddy or no matter, health pal?
Dan John: Oh, that might be actually good in case you have… When you have the power to try this, and hold doing it, that’s cash. For many of us, we simply use the… I’m trying on the palm of my hand. Ensure you have a palm-sized protein in each meal, after which I might say, after which make it probably the most… Every little thing else on the plate is as colourful as it may be. As many greens as acceptable. One factor that I’ve been attempting, a pal of mine talked about this, is eat fruit individually. And so now my snack is an apple. And I’m not a lunatic, mild 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 principally eat about two meals a day, but when I do snack, I attempt to snack on fruit.
Brett McKay: So that you eat two meals a day. How a lot protein do you assume you’re getting in these two meals?
Dan John: [laughter] Quite a bit.
Brett McKay: Yeah. What’s the measurement they provide you? It’s like one… I imply.8 grams per pound of physique weight? So in case you’re… When you… Or you possibly can simply spherical that as much as like one gram. So in case you’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 in case you’re a 200-pound male, you’re principally 90 kilos 91. In order that’s 90 grams a day. The protein shakes that I purchase on the retailer right here, known 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 known as Fiber One, and I put it in a bowl, after which I take that, I believe it’s known as… I don’t know the model identify, however it’s 30 grams of protein, and I pour the protein as milk.
Brett McKay: Yeah I’ve accomplished 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 attempting 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 individuals are like how do you get sufficient protein in your weight loss program? And I’ll take a look at them like, “How do you not?” After which I’ll take a look at what they eat on a typical day. They’ll begin their day with orange juice, two items of toast, a bagel, after which it… And I’m at all times hungry. 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 rapidly. The glycemic index on them is basically excessive, so that you’re at all times sort of in a hunger mode. When you like Pat Flynn’s method 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 possibly can’t get sufficient protein in your weight loss program till I discuss to individuals about what they eat, after which it makes extra sense.
Brett McKay: Okay. It feels like, whats fascinating right here, is you’re not over-thinking these things an excessive amount of, at the very least the diet half. Its identical to, get protein after which greens.
Dan John: Yeah.
Brett McKay: And that’s it. When you’re doing that, you’re in all probability 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 a giant deal.”
Brett McKay: On this consuming water, you had this bit I learn someplace. Yeah, you encourage individuals to drink heat water. What’s occurring 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, mild listener. Alright, however it’s sizzling water and…
Brett McKay: Okay, sizzling water.
Dan John: And years in the past once I was at dinner with the Pavel. You realize 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, whenever you exit with kettlebell individuals, your dinner is gonna be meat, okay, it’s gonna be meat. And so I’m simply sitting there consuming this sizzling water with lemon and I’m like, “Huh, that’s fascinating.” A few years later, my daughter Kelly is telling me about the advantages of consuming sizzling water. Properly, then I had a pal say, “Properly, that’s simply fundamental Ayurvedic medication.” So I went out and I bought [chuckle] as a lot as I… Ayurvedic medication is the normal 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, consuming sizzling water with lemon. Now, Pavel says it’s good to 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, you recognize?
Brett McKay: Yeah.
Dan John: And I add it. In order I’m working, I drink it. Right here’s what I like greatest, 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 consuming sizzling battle 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 pleased with that too.” So, okay, whether or not or not it really clears out mucus, I don’t know. Whether or not or not that assists with fats loss, I believe it 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 could possibly be so simple as this. Whereas I’m consuming 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 must 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 that.” And I’ll… And one thing I seen once I was consuming, I obtained fairly sweaty. I used to be getting sizzling…
Dan John: Yeah, me too.
Brett McKay: Simply from consuming sizzling water, which was fascinating, however I favored it. It was a solution to drink liquids that was completely different from simply consuming lukewarm faucet water, and it was pleasant, and as a minimum, it’s serving to you get extra water, which is crucial 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, perhaps it hydrates us up, perhaps it raises that basal metabolism up just a few drops, okay. Perhaps it’s… Makes the physique must work just a little tougher to chill that stuff down. I don’t know. And now I’m simply spitballing. [chuckle] Or perhaps, which is the one appropriate reply, is that the new water and the lemon exit and actively kill fats cells, sort of like Luke Skywalker and Dying Stars, okay?
Brett McKay: There you go. It targets it. It’s concentrating 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, mild listener, how a lot do I make on telling you to drink sizzling water with just a little 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 would be just right for you. So, we’ve talked concerning the diet element, and it’s fairly straightforward. Nothing to… You don’t must assume too exhausting about it. You’ve talked about you’re a giant fan of intermittent fasting for fats loss. That’s your solution to go. Why is that? Why do you assume that’s working for you?
Dan John: Properly, I’m not pleased with what I’m about to say, however I obtained 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 discovered to discern the distinction between craving, delicate starvation and ravenous. And what I discovered 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. Sooner or later 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 great self-discipline, besides when it got here to fasting. And what I did is I noticed this staff of horses that was meals was simply pulling me round, and I needed to tame that just a little bit, so for me personally, intermittent fasting did first, taught me to cope with what starvation is versus hunger. Okay, that’s simply me. After which I began noticing one thing is in these intervals the place I’m not continually shoveling meals down, it gave my physique an opportunity to digest. I’m a giant believer within the intestine biome stuff too, having a wholesome colony inside, wildlife 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 might quick, and so I don’t simply react to meals anymore. So I’ve a greater skillset to go, “Dan, would you like some banana bread?” 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 just a little 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, take pleasure in it, smile and be accomplished with it. It’s given me management over my meals.
The opposite factor… Now, I used to be at a workshop one time and this one who stated one thing I didn’t agree with, stated that, “Fasting cardio has no worth in any respect.” And I believed, “I believe you’re lacking the purpose.” They had been pondering of the physique as a machine, which is ok ’trigger components of our physique is machine, we’re machines in sure locations. However I believe they missed the purpose that whenever 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 obtained 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-Ok. And it’s that eyes {that a} raptor has when its searching for meals. After I’m fasting and I’ve gotta write one thing, my eye… I’m glued to the display screen. After I’m fasting and I’m going to exercise, like at this time it was chilly and I hadn’t had any meals and I used to be shivering, and I used to be doing my exercise, and man, even proper now, as I’m explaining to you, Brett, my eyes are like all crammed like, “Let’s go deal with this. Let’s go struggle this battle and… ”
And in order that’s why I prefer it a lot. I like what it does for my potential to cope with meals first. I like what it does for my work as an writer. After which I actually like what it does for my focus and my exercises.
Brett McKay: And if interment fasting is one thing you wanna do, there’s completely different protocols, there’s alternative ways to do it.
Dan John: You may definitely… You may 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 may do the 5 two the place two days per week you quick. One other nice one, sooner or later per week, you eat dinner and you then don’t eat till the subsequent dinner. That’s fairly easy, proper? Something you are able to do to sort of get management of your… Don’t take this improper, and I’m not towards 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 industrial. My ability, as a result of I quick, I’m… I constructed up the muscle of turning off immediate gratification. And there’s just a few listeners who’re in all probability going, “I believe I do know what he means.” You’ll have the ability to 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 principally virtually at all times eat between 5:00 and 6 o’clock at evening, dinner. I stand up at about, most days, 5:00 or 6:00 within the morning. I meditate for Quarter-hour, that’s the very first thing. After which I’m going on-line and I do all my emails. I write no matter I’ve to put in writing. 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 principally 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, understanding in a fasted state is to make use of the phrase, “Cash.”
Brett McKay: Cash. It’s cash child. So let’s discuss concerning the train program you really helpful for fats loss, it’s Straightforward Energy. Give us a giant image overview of the train we’re specializing in right here and what number of instances we’re coaching per week etcetera.
Dan John: Okay, however there’s the million greenback factor on the finish of it, okay. So in case you can, in your excellent world, if you need… When you wanna do the Dan John technique of straightforward fats loss, in case you can come into your exercise fasted. That’s… Properly, in fact, technically, in case you’re not shoveling meals down your throat proper now you’re fasting, technically. However the concept is that this, all you’re attempting to do is, and this comes from Rusty Moore, is get your self to unencumber some free fatty acids. The best approach I do know is Straightforward Energy, so principally, we’re gonna do a vertical press, an overhead press, dumbbell press, kettlebell press, barbell press. Perhaps three units of three. Some sort of vertical pull, that may do lat pull-downs, chin-ups, pull-ups. Get a couple of whole, If it’s chin-ups or pull-ups, perhaps 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 sort 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 apparatus on the planet. One set of 10 is all you want as a result of with this program you’re gonna do it three to 5 instances per week, okay. So one set of 10 each day is fairly good. If you know the way to kettlebell swing, nice. If not, no matter it takes, however in case you’re gonna do kettlebell swings it could be about 5 units of 15. You’re simply attempting to get your coronary heart fee up just a little, 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 useless raise. One set of 10 within the ab wheel. Exit the door and stroll for 30-45 minutes. As you’re strolling, your physique simply launched a complete bunch of stuff. Your coronary heart fee’s elevated. When you begin strolling, your physique now has an opportunity, in accordance with Rusty Moore, and I believe he’s proper as a result of it’s labored so merely for me. Is now you freed up the free fatty acids, and now as you stroll your physique is sort of a Pac Man, “Eat, eat, eat, eat.” Consuming these free fatty acids.
Right here’s the factor, once more, it’s like consuming the new water, man. Is it 100% true? I don’t know, however it works. So, this brief 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 assume they’re gonna must spend an hour within the gymnasium. Right here it’s Quarter-hour, you don’t even want a gymnasium, 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 in case you can’t discover a place to do pull-ups, simply do rows or one thing like that. Simply… And it doesn’t matter what I say, in fact, individuals are gonna throw up, “What about… I don’t have this, I don’t… ” Okay, you may 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 straightforward, and I believe that’s why it really works so nicely. I actually assume, 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 assume it’s sloth or sloth, and gluttony. And so, I’m gonna counter that by consuming rabbit meals and making myself a bodily wreck. And the issue is all that does is harm your joints, makes you lose lean physique mass, you’ll lose lean physique mass, however hold the fats ’trigger you’re freaking your physique out.
What I’m attempting to do with the Straightforward Energy 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 type, let’s drop a few of these fats cells, lets? Yeah, let’s do 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 some pounds.
Dan John: No. And also you’re not beating your self. And right here’s the humorous factor, is that this can be a factor that we’ve misplaced within the health 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 how one can sort. Might you think about you had somebody standing subsequent to you as you had been studying to sort, screaming in your ear, “It’s all you. Hit that A, hit that A. Yo! Together with your pinkie, hit that A. Come on man! Go go, go!” What would you… What wouldn’t it seem like on the display screen if somebody was screaming at you the place the letters had been? It might look horrible. So the way you discover ways to sort, is you go in on a regular basis and also you sort, and also you make a mistake, you appropriate it, you make a mistake, you appropriate it, fairly quickly, there’s much less errors, fairly quickly you movement. And sooner or later you find yourself like the place I’m principally at now, the place I can sort virtually as quick as I can assume. And it’s not ever as a result of anybody’s ever slapped my face or made me drink an vitality drink earlier than I went typing. I simply nudged myself each day for a very long time, to turn into a greater and higher and higher typer.
So in case you nudge your self, in case you quick, and you then do that mild, 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 residence and you’ve got protein and veggies and also you drink some water, after which in a while you will have extra protein, extra veggies and drink some water, perhaps in a while that day you will have 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 sort of pleasant delight that they labored exhausting on doing, take pleasure in it. Simply don’t go to the machine and throw some money in, or use your card and get some 500 calorie sweet bar. Choose and select, be an grownup.
Brett McKay: I wanna discuss extra about this strolling. ‘Trigger you’re a giant proponent of strolling. So that you’re gonna do your 15-minute exercise within the gymnasium, and so they’re gonna go for a 30-45 minute stroll. However you’ve additionally thrown in some methods you may make the stroll a bit extra strenuous, you will have his concept of reverse rucking. What’s that?
Dan John: Okay. Reverse rucking, okay, yeah, you learn my work. “You learn my work!” that’s an awesome line from the film Patton. Yeah, it’s one thing I got here up with a few years in the past. So I’d had a whole lot of success with some shoppers who had been within the mid-300s body weight working with me. And actually, all I attempt to do, it could be the easy factor, first we’d begin off with two glasses of water after which… However as soon as we obtained 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 right down to 320, and I’m pondering, “Man, I’m good.” After which he obtained to about 290 and every little thing stalled. After which I had seen that this had occurred to someone else years in the past, after which it sort of hit me. When 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 some pounds, as you get lighter and lighter, you turn into the curse of what fats loss train is all about.
Fats loss’ train, is about being as inefficient as you will be. So in case you’re an impressive dancer and we take a dance class collectively, I’m gonna be dying subsequent to you when you simply go, step-ball-change, step-ball-change. In order this 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 turn into increasingly environment friendly as a walker, so what we started to do then was add a quite simple… A faculty backpack is simply high-quality. And at first, it doesn’t must be very a lot weight, you possibly can throw in a single five-pound weight or a single 10-pound weight. Now you bought to watch out right here, ’trigger most individuals are gonna overdo what I’m about to say.
And as they drop right down to 280, perhaps you wanna enhance that to fifteen kilos, 270, 260, perhaps go stand up to about 30. When you get round 30-35 kilos, 15 kilos, there may be not a whole lot 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, whenever you get to round 30 kilos, you sort of peek out with the rock or the backpacking. So it’s known 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 all types of points. The ankle weight, makes you enhance your gait with out even fascinated by it, after which after… And I wouldn’t go a lot over 5 pound ankle weights. After which I wish to put heavy arms, weights within the arms, and I’ve found that actually, three kilos per hand, you get these little dumbbells at Ross Gown For Much less, that weigh three kilos, these are excellent for strolling.
They’re pink, however they’re nonetheless excellent for strolling. So now, I at all times inform considered one of my shoppers… ‘Trigger you see them strolling down the road, with a backpack with plate within the again, with vivid inexperienced ankle weights and pink heavy arms. That’s how you recognize you bought a Dan John particular person proper there, yeah.
Brett McKay: That’s a Dan John. So yeah, the aim right here you’re simply attempting to make the stroll just a little bit extra inefficient, so as to burn extra energy.
Dan John: Precisely, precisely. And right here’s the factor, you’re nonetheless about that 30-45 minute vary. The issue now we have whenever you work with… Constructing into operating, and you may… This isn’t my phrase, however it’s known 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 turn into very environment friendly at operating and so they begin doing what the runners known as rubbish miles. I’m a former monitor coach, so I can use the phrase. It’s simply known 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 an awesome dialog. We talked about lots and it’s fairly easy, I imply, recap, be sure your objectives are wealthy, that your weight reduction or fats loss aim is wealthy. Measure your self often. While you eat, get protein, greens, perhaps intermittent quick, perhaps drink some sizzling water to get the Luke Skywalker impact. [chuckle] After which the train shouldn’t be exhausting, Quarter-hour within the gymnasium after which stroll, after which sooner or later perhaps 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 might return in time. And I want once 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 individuals 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 demise, 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… When you might put that within the notes, it could imply lots to me.
Brett McKay: Yeah, we’ll do it.
