There’s no magic pill. Consistency is the key and the hardest thing to maintain.

I love DOA CEO, but some of these interviews do make me wonder, when exactly did we get to the point where we needed to over analyse everything so much?! Its almost as if people can't get by day to day and make the right life choices without a scientific study and a graph to tell them how to eat, sleep, move, and generally stay healthy. I am fascinated by science, but you have to appreciate that non of these experiments or studies were done on you personally, and we are all so genetically unique that if you take all these studies at face value you will never find what really works for you. We are never going to achieve perfection in any areas of our lives. We are much better off just trying to do things to the best of our abilities under the circumstances we find ourselves in at any given time. Find what works for you and not what you're told should work for you! There never will be a blueprint of how you should live your best life. Yes take advice and absorb information from health professionals, but its far more important to listen to your own body and make your own judgment calls accordingly. Just my opinion. 😊

I'd never heard Lieberman before - what an interesting and engaging speaker! Great video.

about the policemen example - I think when you start working out, you subconsciously eat healthier. Yes you might indulge every now and then, but its not an all out binge for days. This has always been the case with me. When I stop working out due to some reason, my diet gets worse, I lose any motivation to eat a healthy diet. Edit - Oh wow, I wrote this before I heard the rest of the conversation, they actually talk about this later :D

Sitting too much limits our mobility, I can tell you from personal experience. I once had a job where I would sit at a desk 6 hours a day, and I got chronically tight hips and a tight lower back. I eventually quit that job and started moving more and major improvements

The only time in my life I lost a substantial amount of weight was when I stopped drinking alcohol for 15 months and started running

This Youtube content at its BEST. Kudos to team DOAC ❤

The motivation for diet and training is also interdependent for me. I lose one - I lose the other.

When I avoid eating too much, too much caffeine and foods that I have sensitivities too, and I get enough exercise I wake up after about 6 1/2 hours naturally though I may take a 30 minute nap in the afternoon.

I sleep more in the winter and less in the summer. I think that's natural. I've also found I lost 1-2 inches round waist thanks to short sprints. Like 14 minutes total of actual sprinting a week. Was quite interesting as I changed nothing else.

First time here, liked your show very much.

great video

7hrs feels good to me.

I lost 20 kilo in 9 months. I eat less (but everything). Breakfast at 6.00 a.m. Dinner at 16:00. No soft drinks. Only water, coffee, tea, butter milk. Alcohol (beer/wine) only on my monthly cheat day. 4 times a week gym (1 hour cycling 30 min weight lifting each time).

I'm curious about Lieberman's view on the role of the hypothalamus and the arc in weight equilibrium, given that 95% of individuals regain weight following substantial weight loss.

I believe the eight hour sleep came from the 40 hour work week, which was eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure and eight hours of sleep.

so revolutionary , eat less exercise more.

Sleeping is important, but I wake up multiple times a night and don't dream, so my sleep quality is poor. Currently I try to change my stressful job to make my sleep better.

You are on fire!!
