Love how the conversation took an interesting outlook towards the end. Realizing that 12% body fat the actual number doesn’t even matter…it’s what it represents. It represents dedication, health, sexiness, etc. But I love how he makes a point that WHEN you’re there what if you’re an asshole? No one is gonna care if you have 12% bfat! Very cool to look at my personality and if I’m being an interesting, fun person to be around.

I’m about 25 LB from reaching my goal this time around so I’m going to really make sure I have habits that are sustainable. Thanks for the thought provoking video Thomas :)

I am 50 and I have a way to stay lean. It has worked for 3 years now after having the same problem as you have had though out my life. It is to weigh myself every morning and take my belly measurement once a week. I don't obsess about gaining 1 or 2 kgs or gaining 1-2 cm belly, but I have set a red line. If I get near that red line I will do 1 or 2 weeks of counting calories and do 500kcal less a day than my break even amount. It keeps me from falling to far, it is much easier to go on a diet if you know it will only last for 1 or 2 weeks. The room I leave for my weight to fluctuate is 4 kgs and also 4 cm for my belly. When I am at point zero I have a very defined six pack. But because I lift weights and still gain muscle I have to adjust my point zero now and then. But basically what I do is damage control.... A 4 kg buffer give me plenty of room to let myself go a bit during a vacation week or over Christmas holidays for example. I also do one thing more. I make sure that I am at my best two times a year, and those dates are fixed. My dates to have defined sixpack is the week before Christmas and the week before my summer holiday. So I will make an effort 2-4 weeks before that every year. By doing this I have.a "positive" goal and not only damage control. And I can celebrate every time I achieve it. That makes keeping weight more like a mentally positive struggle than just a strain.

Yeah I agree. Pick an infinitely sustainable habit, sustain it, see what happens to your body as a result, and then modify the habit. It’s an accomplishment to hit a number for sure, but most people aren’t willing to have the patience to improve their lifestyle, family culture, and values. For me it was going for a 45-60 minute walk every day after I put my kids to bed. Later I added small diet changes (which I have iterated on to the point that I now love my diet and have it very honed in), calisthenics (which was initially just like one or two very sloppy pull ups mid walk, and is now weighted pull ups, muscle ups, and ring dips), 70lb rucks, and occasional running. What finally did it for me is that I try not to ever do anything too hard. If it feels too hard I back off. So I just went for a walk and put on a podcast. Sometimes I even watch a movie on my phone. I don’t skip though but maybe once every couple months. My build is better than it’s ever been in my life.

Nothing wrong at all with having goals, but some people don't use a number like 10 or 12% body fat as a bench mark to shoot for. Much like pro bodybuilders, who definitely push their goals into unhealthy practices, this kind of a goal can do the same. Much better to make your first goal your health, and not looking like a skinned rabbitt. Develop a physical exercise regimen and eating discipline that you can maintain and live with. If you look good in the mirror, your clothes fit, and have normal range health markers you are good to go. To quote one of the greatest body builders of all time, Frank Zane..."You can't live at the top of the mountain all the time".

### **Investigative Journalist Reveals 7 Habits of People Under 12% Body Fat** **Intro (**00:00:00**)** Achieving a 12% body fat target is a widely pursued goal, particularly among men, despite potential negative effects on performance when reaching as low as 10%. This goal requires habits that extend beyond just dietary changes. **Control Over Processed Food Intake (**00:01:41**)** Understanding and managing the consumption of processed foods is crucial. These foods exploit a "scarcity loop"-an ingrained habit cycle fueled by opportunity, unpredictable rewards, and rapid repeatability-promoting excessive intake through appealing attributes like value, variety, and speed. This habit significantly contributes to obesity, a major health risk, and achieving a body fat percentage as low as 12% requires minimizing or eliminating ultra-processed foods in favor of whole, unprocessed alternatives. **Rucking (**00:07:09**)** Rucking, or walking with added weight, is a beneficial practice for fat burning and muscle stimulation. This low-impact exercise maximizes fat oxidation and is accessible to individuals of all fitness levels. Historically, humans evolved to carry loads over long distances, reinforcing rucking as a natural, effective activity for achieving low body fat. **Figure Out How Much You Eat (**00:12:22**)** Tracking food intake through logging reveals eating patterns, allowing for adjustments that support fat loss goals. Observing one's diet and workouts can highlight issues and promote behavior change. Effective fat loss involves consistent weight training with compound movements, focusing on progressive overload, proper form, and incorporating light exercise during rest periods for active recovery. **Find a Form of Training You Enjoy (**00:16:20**)** Long-term success in reducing body fat depends on engaging in enjoyable physical activities. Sustainable fitness habits stem from aligning workouts with personal preferences rather than striving for an unrealistic appearance. Modern lifestyle conveniences often diminish natural fitness, making it essential to cultivate habits that delay gratification and address underlying motivations behind exercise and eating behaviors. **Short-Term Choices That Have Long-Term Effects (**00:30:51**)** Addiction and short-term choices, such as steroid use for rapid results, can jeopardize long-term health. The focus should shift from hitting specific body fat percentages to fostering sustainable, healthy practices that yield long-term well-being. **Make Maintaining Body Composition Rewarding (**00:35:12**)** Incorporating enjoyment and rewards into maintaining a healthy body composition can enhance the process, making it more sustainable. This approach emphasizes the importance of finding intrinsic motivation and making workouts rewarding rather than fixating on specific body fat metrics. **Find Out What Getting to 12% Body Fat Means to You (**00:36:03**)** Setting specific goals, such as achieving 12% body fat, can help maintain focus. However, an overemphasis on numbers can lead to unhealthy obsessions, detracting from overall well-being. It's essential to balance numerical goals with broader measures of health like true satiety and energy levels, understanding hunger cues, and avoiding rigid calorie counting. **Conclusion** Achieving and maintaining a body fat percentage of 12% involves a multifaceted approach beyond simple dietary changes. Critical habits include managing processed food intake, engaging in effective and enjoyable physical activities, understanding and tracking eating behaviors, and focusing on long-term health rather than short-term numerical goals. Ultimately, creating rewarding and sustainable health practices will lead to better overall fitness and well-being.

I rucked a marathon 20 years ago, with about 30 lb of weight, in uniform with Army boots. I came from running the 30k we had to do back then for the German Armed Forces Efficiency Badge instead of walking it, it was a sort of given in the Specialized Forces to aim for that. I got up to that shape within a few years in the Army, just daily workout and daily grind. But THE DECIDING FACTOR is your mindset! I myself have shifted the threshold of what I was able to do physically, be it in weight, distance or time, many times. There was doubt in the beginning, and, yes, lots of pain. But the sort of pain you can overcome, not a ruptured tendon or a broken bone. Just your body telling you: I hurt, you are putting me under excessive stress I‘m not used to! And then you work through it. And suffer, huff and puff. And you realize you can do still more. It takes A LONG TIME until you actually collapse if you keep your hydration high. Believe in yourself, observe yourself, know what you do (-> nutrition!) and don’t find excuses. Just the point they made very early: Be dedicated! If sweets are bad for you, screw it, don’t eat sweets. Ever. If alcohol is bad for you, don’t drink it. Ever. Not to not stand out in company, not to numb reality, never. IT‘S ALL IN YOUR HEAD. Get this blob of neurons straight, grab life, and hold on to it. Make it yours, exert control, don’t be or feel controlled. Make the sound choices, and if it takes longer to determine what’s the right way, take that time. Life is not a rat race - it’s a really really long race. And it’s no good having „He always hustled.“ on your tombstone at age 50 after your heart has quit on you. Life long and prosperous.

I didn't eat the products, but I believe in freedom, even the freedom for someone to hurt themselves. That's their choice.

5:55 the problem with that thought process is, that those food like substances (that's NOT food) are manufactured in a way as to influence your brain to want more. When it comes to willpower against brain chemistry, phisiology will always win in the end in one way or another. So no, wrong message.

Is wearing my fanny pak with stuff in it and pushing a stroller with 15 lbs in it rucking?
@bronwynst4280

No, the physics of "pushing and pulling" is very different from straining upwards against weight. It's still more effort, more work and more energy burned, but my different muscles and different angles,for sure.

Military... They beat bf percentage into our heads and tell us we're not fit unless we're coming in at a certain percentage. They will even kick you out if you don't maintain that number. Now, the newest body composition test measures your waist and weight. It's crazy, I dropped 25lbs and still measure the same bf percentage as I did before.

It’s funny to me that you (and so many) think that big bulky shoulders/that body builder’s physique is what will attract the girl. Not this girl. I prefer the lean runner’s body. Plus…and here’s the bigger reason why the body builder’s look is actually a turn off to me. It clearly comes from hours in the gym. What are you really accomplishing in there besides, working on your looks. Besides a stronger skeletal system and strength to help your body age well…it seems to really only be about your looks. So…while I am judging a book by its cover…I’d bet good money that I am more correct than incorrect when it comes to the motives behind all of that gym time.

@@adriennem3168 I having been living keto/low carb/ketovore since Feb 2022. I’ve gone from 185 to currently at 135 as of yesterday. I’m just talking about in ADDITION to what we know works, (keto, low carb) and I was just very very surprised that he didn’t even mention ONCE about how fasting is like a cheat sheet to lower your body fat %. And I’m surprised Thomas didn’t ask him what he thought about it, but sometimes when a conversation is flowing we don’t always think of everything. It was PARAMOUNT in me getting from 185 to 135 was fasting. So it just blows my mind that it wasn’t mentioned. Maybe it’s better for those people who are 25% bfat or more, and once you hit like 18% bfat maybe you have to switch things up. Only thing I can think why they didn’t mention it. But still as I start my next phase of going from 18% to about 12-ish percent roughly, I will definitely be doing some hardcore fasts while incorporating the things they made me aware of like rucking and carrying weight for long walks and adding some new movements and workout combined with the fasting.

I never understood the idea of fasting. Most who fast are still eating everyday, and everyone has a time period where they aren't eating, at least while they sleep.

Fast while great for some really messed me up. Created a binge and purge cycle that I had a hard time breaking. For me eating smaller meals 4 to 5 times a day is what worked best for me to finally get to 12%.

I love my weighted vest for walking! I use a 15 lb vest and I am a petite woman. It has made such a difference in my posture, leg strength, balance, and cardio fitness. I use it both on a treadmill and for outdoor walking. What incline setting would you recommend to stay in that fat oxidation zone? Also, how many days per week do you wear the vest?

That’s true, suppose it’s a two step to walk long distance voluntary over and over and carry. It’s unique to what we do to hunt. As well as cooling ourselves with sweat. Where horses and donkeys we opt them to do this.

The thing to remember is that excess hoarding of money is the economic equivalent of obesity. It causes an inefficient allocation of resources and reduced performance across society and is born from the same scarcity loop that causes people to overeat. As above, so below.

You have no idea what addiction is about. I smoked for 30 years and tried to quit for 20. I remember countless times driving to the store to buy a pack of smokes, and not wanting to but doing it anyway. Even though smoking a cigarette feels good doesn't mean you do it because it feels good. Being addicted means being unable to stop, even though you want to. The same is true for food, alcohol, or whatever else it may be. The way to beat addiction, is realizing that the longer that you go without the addictive thing, the easier it is to say NO to the internal voice that is telling you yes.
