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 buddy 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 take care of.
Brett McKay: Oh wow. I’m glad, thanks a lot. I’m glad that the location’s been helpful for you and for folk you recognize. I wished to carry you again on the podcast, it’s all the time 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 carry you again, ’trigger it’s a brand new 12 months and I do know loads 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 loads of these guys who’re making this purpose have seemingly had this purpose 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 reducing weight? 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 device I exploit, it’s known as… It’s known as The Two Quantity Aim Sheet. And the concept could be very easy, is you discover two numbers which are essential to you. Now, let’s simply deal with… Let’s simply deal with what you’re asking now. I exploit a bodily purpose, which is… For this 12 months can be physique weight and like a monetary purpose. 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 when you have this obscure… If I used to be to say to you, “Hey, I wanna lose a couple 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 purpose this 12 months, the truth is, 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 firstly 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 underneath 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 stress 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] Folks in my household don’t reside 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 alleged 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 means 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 on the subject of efficiency, I believe I’ve a greater likelihood of being an American report holder, perhaps a world report holder at 96 kilos versus heavier than that. After which the ultimate factor, and you’ll take this nevertheless you wanna take it. Artwork De Vany, a couple of years in the past, mentioned that self-importance after sure years is a superb cause to work out. Now, self-importance comes from the previous 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 purpose 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 have a look at a health purpose, 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 drop extra pounds, and somebody says, “Would you like a bowl of vanilla ice cream?” Properly, okay, that’s loads 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 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 of 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 couple of kilos. I’d prefer to spend extra time with my child or youngsters. I’d prefer to… ” Do you see how blah, that each one was?
Brett McKay: Proper.
Dan John: However once I discuss stepping on the dimensions on the weightlifting meet underneath 211 kilos, underneath 96 Okay, after which stepping on the platform not lengthy after that and snatching and clear jerking. That simply form of makes me excited. And that’s I believe the important thing.
Brett McKay: Okay. So yeah, lots of people simply surrender 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 purpose you set has to complement form of a number of areas of your life. Has to mild up your mind somewhere else. I gotta inform you, if I used to be a performer, one of many issues I’d 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 prefer 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’d all the time be blowing cinnamon into my viewers. In addition to simply me being on stage with my guitar singing love ballads from the Fifties, I’d attempt to have one thing else occurring. I’d 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 manner about purpose setting. You gotta make it. You gotta be capable of 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 purpose, you wanna lose physique fats. The size is gonna play a job, 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 counsel you measure… Now, it’s tough since you’re waistline… Anyone who’s ever measured their waistline will inform you. Your waistline, not the measurement, however the place you place your tape modifications a bit of bit daily. I believe measuring your waistline daily is a extremely good little factor. And if it… And the opposite factor I’d suggest, Brett, is that this, use a centimeter ruler. And the reason being, when you 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 when you go from 104 centimeters to 99, that simply… We people, for no matter cause, that’s like, “Wow, that’s a giant change.” And when 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. In case you have any individual in your life you can belief, I’d transfer outdoors of individuals in your house, however any individual that provides you with suggestions on the way you look and the way you’re doing. A bragging buddy. Somebody you may discuss to on a weekly foundation. These are the great issues occurring in my life, and it’s greater than a therapist. It’s… The truth is, within the previous Irish the phrase is “Anam Cara”, ain’t that a ravishing phrase, “soul buddy”. Somebody you possibly can simply say… Who will have a look at you and say, “You look good. You look glad.” And be, “Oh, thanks a lot.” And the factor a few soul buddy is you each… You must hear to one another, which is a tough factor generally.
Brett McKay: How incessantly do you suggest individuals measuring themselves for the… After they’re gauging their fats loss?
Dan John: Properly, guys like Clarence Bass say daily you need to weigh in and do the tape measure. Should you already hold a journal, if you have already got a pocket book that you just hold the knowledge in, I’d say day by day. Should 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, when you don’t have… It may very well 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’s that I’ll have like a giant Sunday night time dinner at my in-laws place, and that simply throws every little thing off ’trigger I’m form 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’d 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 in case you are somebody who lifts weights three days per week, perhaps Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. Should 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 could be the weigh-in and the tape measure.
Brett McKay: Let’s discuss this. What’s an inexpensive fats loss purpose for individuals? So that you, you’ve misplaced nearly 40 kilos in 13 months, 14 months. For lots of people, what do you assume is an inexpensive purpose? 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 severely, that is the place we went into it. After I work with individuals, one of many issues that comes up loads 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, most people that I belief will inform me a few kilo a month, which is barely 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 inform you, 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 form of insist on being paid upfront. Is the primary month is that… The primary month, you need 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 all the time this; I name you up and the cellphone goes, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, as a result of that’s whenever you’re ingesting 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 everyone that you just work with, when you’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 build up the apply 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 truly make… If 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 completely different fields and I’m gonna fly to the moon.” No, you say, “I’m gonna floss one tooth daily for the primary month.” Properly, one tooth? Properly, that’s truly an ordinary begin, as a result of it’s so small and so plausible. There’s extra to it than simply this… That you simply 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 bought 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 bought 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 several instructions, however when you get the momentum, issues simply begin to nearly 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 rapidly, you’ll be on-line and rapidly 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 making an attempt to lose fats and also you begin to get these habits, the snowball begins to develop. Impulsively 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 converse. 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. Principally whenever you began strolling for your self.
Brett McKay: Okay, so it appears like reasonably than simply specializing in the quantity you wanna get to, simply deal with the method, you deal with 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 daily. 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 attention-grabbing. So I do the waistline daily now, and I do the weigh in daily, 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 inform you. From 251 to 231, it wasn’t very thrilling. However once I bought to 224, which is the 102 kilo weight class, and I lifted in three meets as a 102… 4 meets. After which rapidly 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 daily as a result of it was form 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 robust. Impulsively, you simply… Final night time 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 glad and… Yeah. So yeah, so the massive highway blocks for me are usually winter, thanksgiving, Christmas. The identical highway 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 sit down round loads and watch school soccer. After which whereas I’m sitting round, my decisions for [chuckle].. My decisions for drinks go south, my decisions for… Impulsively 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 choosing up this little… It’s a bit of pocket book I’ve it’s known as “Memo e-book, 60 sheets”.
And daily I write in a couple 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 carried out 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 massive 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 maintain enterprise in two weeks. What’s good is it… It’s nearly… It’ll be what, nearly 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 essential. You’ll be able to’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 difficulty, have 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 when 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 attention-grabbing factor I’ve observed although. I began telling individuals… So a number of the individuals I work with go to those all-inclusive holidays now. And one of many issues I inform them now could be, right here’s the weirdest factor, most individuals come again from all-inclusive holidays lighter. They’re… After they step on the dimensions after an all-inclusive trip, they’re lighter, and so they’ll have a look at me like I’m loopy, and go, “No.” First off, you sleep extra, lastly. You play on the seashore, nice. If you go to the buffet and it’s all you possibly can eat for no matter cause, individuals after they’re given all you possibly can eat they chill out, they de-stress and so they come again lighter. So even whenever you determine, generally… Should you actively determine, 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 dimensions. So I believe we people have to simply acknowledge that there are occasions to plant and occasions to sow. There’s time [chuckle].. There’s a time for every little thing underneath the solar. And I believe the error is simply saying, “I’m obese, I’m gonna train and never eat.” That’s simply not a great plan.
Brett McKay: Okay, so that you’ve bought… Let’s discuss 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 just’ve primarily based in your “Simple Power Program”, and we’ll discuss every of the elements of your method, however it all begins with meals. You co-author a e-book with Josh Hillis, and also you guys counsel that on the subject of meals, individuals ought to deal with three issues, amount, high quality, and ratio. Are you able to stroll us via 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 massive deal is. Eat protein, eat veggies, drink water.” And I bear in mind taking a look at her going, “I’m within the unsuitable profession subject males.” However it comes all the way down to truthfully… My good buddy, Pat Flynn, he talks about this primary, when you deal with getting sufficient protein in your weight loss program. I’m gonna up my protein. As a result of protein has this means to make you are feeling full, all the opposite issues appear to work themselves out. I like that form of method. My private method is, I attempt to eat eight completely different greens daily.
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 secret’s this, decide one thing like Pat says, “I’m gonna be certain that I get my protein daily.” Pat’s a giant believer in beginning the day with a protein shake. I consider 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 all the time 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 all the time been the difficulty. So for me, by specializing in getting the greens in, I maintain the protein simply naturally and drink loads of water. So on the subject of issues like amount, when you have vegetable soup and a giant salad at each meal and a protein supply. After you will have that massive bowl of… The vegetable soup that I’ve, massive bowl is 120 energy. The salad that I make in all probability is unfavourable energy, I don’t, I actually… After which there’s this protein.
After you eat that, then be happy to eat the rest 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 glad and make that toddler a part of your mind glad. In relation to 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 an inventory that they’d in males’s well being journal. And I mentioned, after you eat all that, be happy to eat the rest you need. Properly, after all, when you might push down two kilos of salmon and 12 eggs daily, you’re not gonna be very hungry. In order that’s the place the standard aspect 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’d agree with that. And even you possibly can eat extra potato chips than you possibly can similar to a baked potato.
Dan John: You’ll be able to eat extra energy from potato chips simply, than you may baked potatoes, proper. To me, these are the… Cliche time, these are the massive rocks of vitamin in my world. Should you’re not used to consuming loads of protein, deal with protein sources. Should you’re like me and also you wrestle on the vegetable aspect, get your greens in. And actually, I don’t even know why we even discuss this anymore, however drink water and I’m high-quality with any calorie-free drink you determine to do. Someone not way back mentioned one thing to me, as a result of I… After I exit, I are likely to drink weight loss program sodas. They usually mentioned, “Aren’t they dangerous 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 night time, 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 generally some place. All the things’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 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 many who are simply beginning out, wouldn’t it be helpful to measure issues out, and form of have a look at a health buddy or no matter, health pal?
Dan John: Oh, that might be actually good when you have… In case you have the flexibility to try this, and hold doing it, that’s cash. For many of us, we simply use the… I’m wanting on the palm of my hand. Be sure you have a palm-sized protein in each meal, after which I’d say, after which make it probably the most… All the things else on the plate is as colourful as it may be. As many greens as acceptable. One factor that I’ve been making an attempt, a buddy 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 mentioned 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] Loads.
Brett McKay: Yeah. What’s the measurement they provide you? It’s like one… I imply.8 grams per pound of physique weight? So when you’re… Should you… Or you possibly can simply spherical that as much as like one gram. So when 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 when 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 carried out that earlier than.
Dan John: And that’s a pleasant little snack. And the explanation 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. Possibly 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 weight loss program? And I’ll have a look at them like, “How do you not?” After which I’ll have 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 all the time 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 actually excessive, so that you’re all the time form of in a hunger mode. Should 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 appears like, whats attention-grabbing right here, is you’re not over-thinking these things an excessive amount of, not less than the vitamin 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 in all probability doing good.
Dan John: Yeah. [chuckle] Properly, that’s what she advised me on the Olympic Coaching Heart, eat protein and greens, drink water, after which the good line, “I don’t know why individuals make it such a giant deal.”
Brett McKay: On this ingesting 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 appears like… Properly, this appears 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 understand 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 massive 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 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 buddy say, “Properly, that’s simply primary Ayurvedic drugs.” So I went out and I bought [chuckle] as a lot as I… Ayurvedic drugs is the normal drugs 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, 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 ingesting sizzling conflict with the lemon, it stopped and somebody mentioned, “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 truly clears out mucus, I don’t know. Whether or not or not that assists with fats loss, I believe it’d. It’s a little bit of a diuretic, as I’ve observed. 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 all the time 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 all the time a chance. 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 observed once 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 favored it. It was a method to drink liquids that was completely different from simply ingesting lukewarm faucet water, and it was gratifying, 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. Possibly it does, perhaps it hydrates us up, perhaps it raises that basal metabolism up a couple of drops, okay. Possibly it’s… Makes the physique need to work a bit of tougher to chill that stuff down. I don’t know. And now I’m simply spitballing. [chuckle] Or perhaps, which is the one right reply, is that the recent water and the lemon exit and actively kill fats cells, form of like Luke Skywalker and Demise 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 mentioned 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 a bit of 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 suppose, give it a shot. It would be just right for you. So, we’ve talked in regards to the vitamin part, and it’s fairly simple. Nothing to… You don’t need to assume too exhausting about it. You’ve talked about you’re a giant fan of intermittent fasting for fats loss. That’s your method 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 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 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. In the future 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 spotted what a spot 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 spotted this staff of horses that was meals was simply pulling me round, and I needed to tame that a bit of 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 intervals the place I’m not consistently 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 consistently 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 a bit of 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 carried out 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 that mentioned one thing I didn’t agree with, mentioned that, “Fasting cardio has no worth in any respect.” And I believed, “I believe you’re lacking the purpose.” They had been considering of the physique as a machine, which is okay ’trigger elements 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 bought my work and my exercise in. So Palo mentioned 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 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 stuffed like, “Let’s go maintain this. Let’s go struggle this conflict and… ”
And in order that’s why I prefer it a lot. I like what it does for my means to take care of 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 other ways to do it.
Dan John: You would definitely… You would do one thing so simple as quick modified diets, that’s Valter Longo’s work the place as soon as a month you are taking a 3 or 4 day interval and eat 800 energy a day. You would 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 then you definately don’t eat till the following dinner. That’s fairly easy, proper? Something you are able to do to form of get management of your… Don’t take this unsuitable, 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 mentioned. Properly, I watched that and I’ll be like, I can now flip off mentally that industrial. My talent, as a result of I quick, I’m… I constructed up the muscle of turning off immediate gratification. And there’s a couple of listeners who’re in all probability going, “I believe I do know what he means.” You’ll be capable of gradual 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 nearly all the time eat between 5:00 and 6 o’clock at night time, 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 write 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 principally about 11:00 I eat. So I don’t know, what’s that? That’s sneaking up on 18 hours, I suppose.
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 in regards to the train program you advisable for fats loss, it’s Simple Power. Give us a giant image overview of the train we’re specializing in right here and what number of occasions we’re coaching per week etcetera.
Dan John: Okay, however there’s the million greenback factor on the finish of it, okay. So when you can, in your good world, in order for you… Should you wanna do the Dan John methodology of simple fats loss, when you can come into your exercise fasted. That’s… Properly, after all, technically, when you’re not shoveling meals down your throat proper now you’re fasting, technically. However the thought is that this, all you’re making an attempt to do is, and this comes from Rusty Moore, is get your self to release some free fatty acids. The best manner I do know is Simple Power, so principally, we’re gonna do a vertical press, an overhead press, dumbbell press, kettlebell press, barbell press. Possibly three units of three. Some form of vertical pull, that may do lat pull-downs, chin-ups, pull-ups. Get a few complete, 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 form of hinge motion. I really like the deadlift household. I really like subsequent, the ab wheel.
The ab wheel is without doubt one of the most underrated items of apparatus 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 per 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 when you’re gonna do kettlebell swings it might be about 5 units of 15. You’re simply making an attempt to get your coronary heart price up a bit of, 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 elevate. 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 price’s elevated. When you begin strolling, your physique now has an opportunity, in response to 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 vitamin stuff, that is very easy. I believe lots of people assume 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 when 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, after all, 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 thought, 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 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 damage 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 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 we’ve a pleasant meal, right here’s some protein, right here’s some greens. Huh, see issues are high-quality.” And the physique seems as much as me and says, “Oh, thanks for being so form, 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 drop extra 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 all the time use… After I discuss weightlifting, I all the time 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! Along 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 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 sooner or later you find yourself like the place I’m principally at now, the place I can kind nearly 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 day by day for a very long time, to develop into a greater and higher and higher typer.
So when you nudge your self, when you quick, and then you definately do that mild, this exercise, you push it, there’s nothing with going heavy and getting these hundreds up. And then you definately go for a stroll, and then you definately come dwelling 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 will not be gonna go into this “Oh no.” And if somebody does give you some form 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. 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 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 will have his thought 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 loads of success with some shoppers who had been within the mid-300s body weight working with me. And truthfully, all I attempt to do, it might be the easy 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 an eye fixed, he was all the way down to 320, and I’m considering, “Man, I’m good.” After which he bought to about 290 and every little thing stalled. After which I had observed that this had occurred to any individual else years in the past, after which it form of hit me. Should you go for a 20-minute stroll weighing 350, you might be doing a loaded carry and your physique is getting hit exhausting. However right here’s the issue, as you drop extra 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 when you’re an impressive 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 faculty backpack is simply high-quality. And at first, it doesn’t need to 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 all the way down to 280, perhaps you wanna improve that to fifteen kilos, 270, 260, perhaps go stand up to about 30. When you get round 30-35 kilos, 15 kilos, there’s not loads 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 form 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’d 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 with it, after which after… And I wouldn’t go a lot over 5 pound ankle weights. After which I prefer to put heavy palms, weights within the palms, and I’ve found that truthfully, three kilos per hand, you get these little dumbbells at Ross Gown 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 all the time inform one in every of my shoppers… ‘Trigger you see them strolling down the road, with a backpack with plate within the again, with shiny inexperienced ankle weights and pink heavy palms. 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 purpose right here you’re simply making an attempt to make the stroll a bit of 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 we’ve whenever you work with… Constructing into working, and you’ll… 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 develop into very environment friendly at working 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 a fantastic dialog. We talked about loads and it’s fairly easy, I imply, recap, be certain that your objectives are wealthy, that your weight reduction or fats loss purpose is wealthy. Measure your self frequently. If you eat, get protein, greens, perhaps intermittent quick, perhaps drink some sizzling water to get the Luke Skywalker impact. [chuckle] After which the train will not be exhausting, Quarter-hour within the health club after which stroll, after which in some unspecified time in the future 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 a lot better for fats loss and persons are happier. The great factor is, you’re not exhausted from the exercise, so that you make higher decisions 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 would like you to eat hen thighs and a salad and vegetable soup.
Brett McKay: Properly, Dan John, the place can individuals go to be taught 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 might put that within the notes, it might imply loads to me.
Brett McKay: Yeah, we’ll do it.
