When it’s time to get it tight again, this is what I eat — for better or worse. Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this video! Go to Squarespace.com for a free trial …
Q: Are you sending a bad message by telling your audience that you, a person with a perfectly normal body for a 37-year-old man, need to lose weight?
A: I worried about that, but look, everybody has their own goals, and these are mine. I'm fine with how I look, but I don't feel very good, and I don't want to buy all new clothes. When I'm stronger and leaner than I am now, I have more energy, less back pain, and I sleep way better. And yes, a leaner me will also probably present a more "marketable look" in the video medium, which is something I do need to think about these days. Also I have a hot wife, and that alone is a good reason to try to keep my shit tight. But you do you.
Q: Why can't you put more herbs and spices on that bland fish?
A: You absolutely can, but I find decoupling nutrition from pleasure helps me maintain focus on my fitness goals during times like these. I believe they call it "functional eating."
Q: What was up with that intro?
A: It was an homage to the Hodgetwins — fitness YouTubers who used to start all their videos with something like, "Hey man, you looking to make some gains?" And now that I've explained the joke, it's not funny anymore. But they're still funny, so you should go check out their channel.
Q: Why don't you pronounce the "h" in "herbs"?
A: It's very rare to hear an American pronounce the "h." People here who do it are usually either making a mistake, or they're being pretentious by trying to sound British. I sound pretentious enough as it is.
Q: Why did you pronounce "Vidalia" like that?
A: I have been to Vidalia, Georgia, and the surrounding onion-growing region many times. It's an hour from my house. I've interviewed onion farmers there. How I said it in the video is basically how most people there say it (though I lack the Southern drawl). You can say it how you want to say it.
Q: Do you realize that freshwater fish aren't technically seafood?
A: Yes. So do the marine biologists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and yet they still talk about freshwater fish on their website seafoodwatch.org because in English we don't have a better single word to describe all the aquatic animals we eat.
Q: Do you realize that carbs are actually great/awful, or that strength training is great/awful, or that some other nutrition or exercise thing is actually the worst/best?
A: I am hardly an expert, but I've interviewed lots of scientists and read lots of scientific literature about diet and exercise. If you're saying something like this to me, I think it's probably the case that you are massively oversimplifying the available science. Also, good nutrition is bespoke nutrition.
Q: Why do you squat the way you do?
A: Squat form is a very controversial thing on the internet, in part because there are lots of different ways to squat depending on your goals (i.e. playing football vs growing Tom Platz quads) and also because good squat form is highly dependent on your own personal biomechanics. I've been squatting many years, and I've had trainers look at my form several times. This is the basic form that I have found works with my structure, and it's hardly unusual. However, I will go deeper, lower-bar and certainly much heavier as I progress. I've been almost sedentary for a year. Especially as I get older, I find that I need to be VERY cautious about any exercises involving spinal compression until my core strength comes back on line. The squat you see me doing here is what feels safest to me at this stage in my process. And yes, I deadlift too, but it will be several weeks before my core is strong enough for that.
Q: If you're dieting, why is there Coke and other unhealthy things in your fridge?
A: I am not the only person who lives in my house. Also, regarding the other ingredients, I am continuing to develop/test/shoot normal recipes for this channel, because not everyone in the world wants to eat cauliflower rice and tilapia for the next two months. Hell, I don't really want to.
How does the fish stay good for a week?
Without looking into it, is the fish your eating not containing enough omegas which is why you supplement?
Good channel Adam, but fuck the NASA
I'm sure this works for him, but it looks really gross.
I think for weight-loss and muscle-building – and sustainability and low toxicity – mackerel is the way to go. Omega 3s, vitamin D, and all that wonderful, healthy fat that helps burn the unhealthy fat.
edit: Pacific Mackerel, wild-caught
It's easier to keep weight off long term by making gradual and sustainable lifestyle changes that are realistically intended to be permanent. Desperate attempts to quickly lose weight never stay off because they require you to eat foods you wouldn't enjoy eating forever. I started this five years ago and so far I'm down 65 lbs with no signs of going back up. I could afford to lose another 20 but there's no rush. I'm carefully changing my habits one step at a time to simply be more healthy overall while still enjoying every meal. Losing weight and keeping it off is a natural consequence.
Even you can do pullup.
I am ashamed
This was such a great video! I’m more of a fitness person than a cooking person granted but you had a lot of great tips and factoids that the gym bros usually leave out. Best of luck on your journey

I'll have to partake in this diet now
Another great video. Glad I subscribed to your channel
Just for the record, though, Tilapia is the collective name given to a bunch of species of mostly freshwater fish
So it’s not technically “seafood” despite the biologists at Monterey Aquarium grouping them with marine animals on their website.
Also, it’s not only English that lacks a proper word for “all aquatic life we consume as food”. Italian doesn’t either
Stop saying "everybody is different". We're not that different that there shouldn't be one proper diet (or a relatively small range of diets) for optimal human health.
Kale? Yuck.
why are you r diet takes always so dumb.
jesus..
ah make the food inedible so you don't gain weight.
this is so unsustainable i cannot express with words. Youre gonna be yoyo dieting this way for the rest of your life if youre lucky. Most likely youre gonna be gaining more and more each time until you and your body gives up. Successful and sustainable way of doing this would be to eat most of the foods that you actually like and eat every day but replace some things like sauces, breads, pasta, with lower calorie versions and with more veggies and fruits. This way you still eat pretty much what you like and want and it can be long term since it isnt anything drastic. And this way it is easier to lower calorie intake. Also it is a big change. It's not easy. You gonna have to accept feeling hungry sometimes, especially in the beginning. Your body knows its getting less calories even if you meet your micronutritional needs. But after a while you get used to it, become better at counting calories and youre still eating mostly what you like and want. What youre doing here is destined to fail.
I draw the line at cauliflower rice. If someone serves that to me under the guise of it being regular rice, I'm sending them to God.
I just gonna eat a lot of soybeans instead. they're dirt cheap in my region
Not sure about sustainability but basa has a lot more flavour than tilapia and is also a lean white fish
6:12 Ah you think vinegar is your ally? You merely adopted the acid. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the bases until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but boring
Any ideas for adding some protein to that vegetable soup?
I have heard that Tilapia is fed garbage…
Put down the fork and BUY MY FREAKIN COOK BOOK!!
Discredited for life when he said you cant tell frozen from fresh.
I don't want to incorporate too much olive oil in my diet (calorie cutting). Any idea of something better I can put in the caulk rice when I cook it?
Protein is one the most expensive (energy wise) things for us to fully utilise.
UGH! Just call cauliflower rice what it really is, cauliflower. Nothing about it is rice like.
today i learned that adam could definitely kick my ass
