[TheCameltotem]

Anyone told you look like phil heath?

[1997iwasborn]

How come you dont have hair, when you dont shave yourself?

[Kingstevedaboss]

where can I get this document.

[chocomar0]

RICE IS MY FUEL YEEEE

[Chaddyboxer]

"Metabolic Typing Diet" by Bill Wolcott is an amazing read. I find metabolic typing to be very useful.

[shipleyshipster]

Yo Elliot, even if this is the case, shouldn't all people of all metabolic types still avoid processed foods and junk? If someone needs high protein from meats, they should be buying high quality grass fed beef, not pumping down McDonald's cheeseburgers right? Most of the foods in the grocery store and their contents have radically changed in a matter of 20-30 years. Your thoughts?

[stellafry]

what an informative vid in plain speak. Liked it a lot

[kingsuavesicario]

I'd smack that eskimo back and say, "I told you 11 servings of fruit not vegetables."

[SirGalahadXs]

sick sad stupid people haha

[swaintrain22]

irish, english, scottish, spanish, french, german and danish

[tamaramah]

That made total sense to me....I also felt u were talking directly to me as I am statused Inuit and fruit always makes me sick...Don't like salads...I'm ok with veggies though but I love my meat (as well as any organs)...which we usually throw in potatoes...not good...so I try to use Sweet Potatoes now or root vegetables....but anyways I love your videos...always very enlightening....Thank u :)

[TheN0bama]

0:30 what other books have you read?

[godsmackya]

so what should middle easterns eat??

[crossovr2]

my mom says I'm unique too!

[armenianderick]

If my biochemical individuality has been tempered with for 21 years negatively, And I begin to pay attention and eat according to the diet of my ancestors, will my body benefit? Or have I damaged my metabolic to the point of no return?

[So0h]

@armenianderick experiment and find out

[dansbling]

Awesome due

[TheDsdasd]

This is going to be fun - Part: English, Scottish, Irish, French and Spanish

[mjs0077]

What should I eat if I'm half Italian and half Lebanese?

[stylescla123]

thumbs up if u hate buffering

[UpalKashey]

this is a great segment. i started going by my cravings. being of jewish descent (Mediterranean Genome) after working out for awhile now, running, lifting... i crave olive oil and bread more than anything else. when i actually eat that over the generic

egg white BS, i feel nourished!

gotta be something to it1

[trr12191]

You are a very wise man.

[jmikejapan]

What about people who's ethnic backgrounds are all mixed up? I'm a Heinz 57/ Mutt.

Would anything work for me? I don't think I can pinpoint what type I would fit under.

[dda030582]

Jay Sailor a.k.a MR. T

[wirezts]

I'm British, is my metabolic typing suited to cups of tea, crumpets & scones? Lol

[mfsmit01]

Also with all the fat loss, and strenght programs on the internet it is so hard to find the right one that fits you.

[mfsmit01]

Also my strength has gone up. Starting out I could not do one push-up. Now I can do about 20x3.

[mfsmit01]

Hi Elliot. I enjoy all your videos. I wish you could do a complete video series on fat loss. Especially for the guys in the 300 range. I"am 5'7 and 298lbs. I work out 3 days a week. Strength training and cardio. For some reason I cannot loose the weight I need. Currently trying the anabolic diet.

[themrparkerman]

yo Elliot what would you recommend for some of european heritage (i have some French Swedish and English in me) and i just started a summer job as a labourer for a brick laying company (very very hard work lol) i know losing fat wont be an issue but i dont know if ill still have the energy to work out/ i dont want to lose muscle, but gain muscle. should i just be increasing my carbs or would someone of my heritage work better with higher fat intake?

[themrparkerman]

[ruby33309]

[GunsRevivalCA]

Buddy you gotta eat 11 servings of fruits!

*Smack!* The hell is a VEGETABLE?

Anyone else noticed that ? xD

[allstarray]

Yo elliot! how does that hat fit on your head?

[avatarcollides2day]

Fuck is that Mr. T ??

[yormotherson]

I give this guy a couple months before he's one of the highest viewed channels on YouTube. Mad props.

[dabogking]

what's your heritage?

[PilotCube]

YO ELLIOT; do you shave your chest and/or arms'n legs ++ ? ...

[strengthcamp]

@PilotCube nope.

[PushhIt94]

@strengthcamp I was wondering this today. How the fucks are you hairless.

[BartofGod]

@PushhIt94 You missed whole the point of the video. It was about differences in human types due to genetics.

[ShoutOutHk]

@strengthcamp death to my enemies

[EverlastingPL]

@strengthcamp

He just flex his muscle and they pop out themselves :)

[googleTHT]

@strengthcamp in that case i guess Elliot has hairless monkey's heritage lol

[tpbisdivine]

@strengthcamp lol yeah right

[zkyggen]

@PilotCube why would you ask that, ya homo

[sairaj1]

@PilotCube he waxes em...haha

[Greddybear]

WHERE DO U GET UR INFO FROM MAN i WANNA KNOW!!!!

[strengthcamp]

@Greddybear BOOKS!

[Greddybear]

@strengthcamp thanks bro

[commonsen5e]

@strengthcamp Anything you've read recently or are currently reading that you could recommend !?

[strengthcamp]

@commonsen5e it depends on what you're into.... "do the work" by stephen pressfield and "love wins" by rob bell are both sitting on my mantle right now.

[Recc8es]

MORE FACTS: Inuits have a 10 year lower life expectancy compared with the rest of Canada according to Wilkins et al

[2112mike]

lots of info here..thanks!

[Recc8es]

FACTS: The American Journal of Kidney Diseases cites Inuits

have having some of the worst rates of osteoporosis despite high

calcium intake. According to various findings in American Journal of

Clinical Nutrition 11(1963), 27(1974), Human Biology 46(1974),

56(1984), 47(1975), as well as Alaska Medicine 43(2001), bone

deterioration is caused by the increased acidity of high protein diets.

by Prad from 30bananasadaycom

[strengthcamp]

@Recc8es Interesting. I assume that most modern Inuit no longer eat their traditional diet and probably also include many modern "foodstuffs" in their diet today... including hydrogenated oils that literally BLOCK your body's ability to use the fat soluble vitamins (A and D) that are essential for mineral absorption, hence the osteoporosis. Just my guess ;)

[Recc8es]

@strengthcamp

1986-06 issue of National Geographic

the Inuit subjects of analysis lived ~500 years ago

Samples taken from Inuit mummies, found som years ago in Greenland

- The woman suffered from atherosclerosis, or narrowing of the arteries caused by deposits of cholesterol and fat, probably the result of a heavy diet of whale and seal blubber.

- In addition they showed signs of severe osteoporosis, bone-mass deterioration.

Eliot have you read The China Study? Take care big man :-)

[strengthcamp]

@Recc8es I'm not biased towards any diet and have not made any hard statement about what people should eat, besides the invitation to consider our biochemical individuality. You apparently have adopted a position, based on "The China Study" book. That is great! Congrats! Personally, I am weary of any "study" which claims to be "the answer". But if you find comfort in all of these so-called "facts" then I am happy for you. 

[Recc8es]

@strengthcamp It's a similar case with the Maasai of Kenya whose diet consists of very high quantities of animal products (including meat, milk and blood).. all that saturated fat in their diet gives the men as much atherosclerotic plaque lining their arteries as seniors on SAD.. but they don't get heart attacks because

a) high levels of physical activity are thought to widen their blood vessels and

b) they don't live long enough to die of heart attack, their life expectancy is below 50 yrs.

[strengthcamp]

@Recc8es For every "fact" one presents, 100 others will find a contradiction. In my experience most "literature" that takes hard stances in defense of ONE way is propaganda. Vegetarians, Religion, Politics, Economics... everyone has their "proof", no matter what side you take. Metabolic Typing is interesting in that the only proof is in what is working for YOU, not some study or anyone's opinion... YOU and what is good for you based on experience.

[shipleyshipster]

@Recc8es Exactly. And their calcium intake is probably dairy, which ironically has been shown to actually INCREASE osteoporosis. Calcium in plants is the beneficial stuff.

[nate009gmail]

fuck it im buying lean hybrid muscle reloaded!

[Yonnlopez]

How do I do the deadlifts without destroying my back, I did some last week and yesterday my back was killing me, please help. I really like to make those but i always seem to hur my back.

[wickiezulu]

When it comes to dietry habits, where do biracial people fit in?

[assroaster93]

@wickiezulu i dont think biracial people are different when it comes to dietary habits lol.i'm really mixed raced and i dont think there's much of a difference when it comes to single raced and biracial.

[wickiezulu]

@assroaster93 I am also biracial its just that in my case, I got one side of my family that lived in hotter climates who ate light meals with meats, flatbreads, rice, salads with olive oil, nuts, various, herbs and spices.

And another that lived in colder climates, who ate heavy mostly blandish foods (mainly soups and stews) in general, such as fish, dairy, breads, potatoes and pastrys.

[assroaster93]

@wickiezulu lol i guess since elliot is biracial to,he'll probably know the answer to your question.

[spoolinspecv]

Should I dare toss in the Paleo Diet into this convo? lol

[FitnessMinded]

@strengthcamp What do you think of atkins type diets? I did really well on it with weight loss, felt stable and good, and had good medical labs with blood pressure and electrolytes. However, the have studies now saying atkins maybe related to diabetes in some way. Does your book talk about an alternative to atkins in a health way

[ThatBadAssMofo]

whats that song at the beginning?

[MrAlivendkikin]

He says( things of that nature) so many times in all his videos am i right still love them elliot

[mariwanaman]

stop at 5:59 ...lol

[jreily88]

I believe there was a study done, perhaps by Weston Price but I can't remember exactly who it was for sure, but whoever did it had lived with the Inuit tribe in the North Pole for about six months out of the year, and saw that they ate a very high protein/fat/cholesterol type diet consisting of all animal meat, yet they had low cholesterol levels. After that time, they migrated down to America to adobt a western diet, and their cholesterol and insulin levels skyrocket within a very short time.

[Acid113377]

Yo Elliott,

Does your theory on physiologic uniqueness also apply to " identicle/monozygotic twins" ?

Thanks in advance for the answer...

- Nic

[MCchuster]

this makes so much damn sense. I'm asian and i try to eat less carbs. I even cut on too many fruits, and it's killing my energy level. I'm a biology major, yet i never stop to think about this. well, sadly as a biololgy major, u don't really learn that much about nutrition at all.

[jreily88]

@MCchuster

Yeah, just like Elliot said, everybody's different. A lot of the hollistic practitioners on youtube do go against the high fat/high cholesterol myth which is totally great, but they seem to advocate a high fat/high protein diet with almost no carbs, and that is basically doing the same thing as the medical community, just backwards.

The best courses to take, in my opinion, would be biochemistry and physiology, because at least those will be based off of some science.

[KaozVT]

the inuit is the tribal name for eskimos... you might be thinking of the incan people of south america. /nerd off

[clunied]

@KaozVT Eskimos refers to the yupik, inuit and Aleut tribes so ekimos is the correct terminology to use

[KaozVT]

@clunied he says the inuit people of south america doesn't he? at 4:00 check it out.

[lyzedpara]

@KaozVT Look up "inuit", elliot may have made an oversight, so look it up yourself.

[strengthcamp]

@KaozVT I stand corrected, thanks ;) maybe I should do some quick "brushing up" of my understanding before I bang out these vids. I like shooting from the hip though!

[KaozVT]

@strengthcamp yo man it's those hip shots that keep me comin back keep shootin!

[JustElijah]

Yo Elliot I know it's off topic, but can you put the music of the lil intro in the description box please; it's usually rather enjoyable and I'd wish to hear more of it, before it ends very shortly.

[orochimaruisugly]

@JustElijah Death to my Enemies by 50 Cent

[JustElijah]

@orochimaruisugly Ok cool, safe man.

[SinisterSkip]

Always interesting stuff, thanks again mr. Elliot.

[ReverseMyCurse1]

What are your views on P90X???

[hahabendover]

I wish I had elliots genes

[ilovehell666]

How do you become obese? I am physically fit, but I see all my friends are grossly overweight and I always feel left out.

[krb0123]

@ilovehell666 wtf? hahaha

[entraiils]

I would recommend anyone interested in metabolic types read the Anabolic Solution by Dr. Mario DiPasquale.

Hit the thumbs up for this resource.

[WeskerUmbrella4]

so,Elliott i have a question : you said in your Hybrid Muscle Training doc. that you need to set your goals.

i was wondering what should be that goal and what is a goal anyway ?

a weekly goal,or monthly goal ?

also what do you mean about goal : do you set a goal based on your visual appearance (until you are satisfied) or on how much reps,how much intensity can you do when it keeps increasing over a set amount of time ( like a macro-cycle that is 3 weeks) ?

[Darren74074]

@Miamirules99 @Oneshotko Actually for micro-cycles (3 weeks in this case) I work the chest 5 days/week doing everything from 5x15 to 5xheavy singles. I've had good success with this strategy on bench. Used it twice so far and went from 265 to 300 and 300-315). If you eat right, you recover faster and can train more often. Plain and simple.

[leonharts]

Yo Elliot, i was just thinking that since the human body is EXTREMELY efficient at adapting... does metalbolic typing really matter then?

[rent218]

this guy is really educated i love his vids

[leonharts]

What did Asians usually eat? (Obv alot of RIce, but what kind of protein source?)

[orientrat]

@leonharts pork. we dont eat alot of dairy tho which is why alot of us are lactose intolerant

[salmon443]

Yo Elliot! What are your thoughts on training 5x5 compared to 3x8 for mass gains?

[bigdawgjay]

Thanks for the answers! I actually learned more than what I expected. I will definitely pick up both of those books within the next week or 2!!

[CanadaOwnsYou]

thanks elliot, this was the video i was lookin' for.

[rammajamma1993]

thumps up if you wished you had elliotts body

[TheUnleashed93]

@rammajamma1993 workout hard & eat hard !

[paaaatrika]

@rammajamma1993 Wishful thinking won't get yo there, that's for sure.

[Miamirules99]

Also elliot what do you do if your genetic type is South american /European?

[TheNewReign5]

Elliot the amount of GOOD information you give is awesome, thanks for taking the time to do so, your a good dude keep up the awesome vids

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

thats intense

[copyleftdev]

Elliot, you always tickle my brain ball's.

[EvilSecondTwin]

@copyleftdev

LMAO! That was good!

[Miamirules99]

Elliot your fucking awesome dude, I have a question Im getting kinda fat, i want to have a more toned chest, So can i do chest twice a week?? or more?

[Oneshotko]

@Miamirules99 Hey man, I personally wouldn't train your chest more than twice a week, maybe not even that much unless it's spaced out about 5-6 days between each session because you might slip into overtraining and that will make your chest even worse in a sense, so concentrate on hitting it hard once a week, eat clean but maybe reduce cals slightly if your gaining weight, and get lots of rest to recover your muscles :)

[Miamirules99]

@Oneshotko Thanks Mate :)

[samuils]

Oo, how do I find mine? Im from Ukraine, you know pig fat and stuff

[DTopper48]

Sweet Deal. Good video bro

[strengthcamp]

@samuils that's a somatotype.. not a metabolic type.

[samuils]

@strengthcamp I know thats why I deleted that comment

[fonzy541]

Awesome!!
