 First question is from it's SJ life. What's your view on shakes and fat burners to shed waste? Waste of money, for the most part. All in. Total waste of money. Here's the benefit you might get from fat burning supplements, which are just typically, you know, supplements that have lots of stimulants in them. So like syniferin, back in the day, ephedra, there might be yo-him-bi in there. Where you syniferin. There might be, you know, definitely caffeine or other stimulant based compounds is they do, they do reduce appetite. So when you take those, you'll find that you're not as hungry. So you think, okay, well, that's effective. That's good then. Well, here's a problem. It's very short lived. Your body adapts very quickly to them. And then there's a definite rebound when you go off of them. Overall, a waste of time and money. It's not going to really do much for you at all, especially when you compare it to diet, exercise and sleep. Now, if you want to take them because you think they're fun, you like getting hyper sometimes, you enjoy the way that they feel. That's fine. But taking a fat burner thinking, this is going to make me leaner, you're totally wasting your money. I think fat burners are up there with the biggest piece of trash in the supplement industry. I don't, I can't even get behind what you're saying right now because I think there's other supplements that give you all those up feelings and other and the whole appetite suppressing thing. Like, God, I don't know about that. Like fast, that'll suppress your appetite. Don't eat. You know what I'm saying? For a extended period of time or eat whole foods, right? Or eat meat first or eat, you know, eat protein, more protein in your diet. Those, all those things will satiate, curb appetite as good or better, better than those. Fat burners and sugar pills. Exactly the same. Yeah, dude. They're garbage. Absolute garbage. Now, the protein shake thing though, I mean, using it with the way some people recommend it, which I'm not a fan of is with the idea of, oh, eliminate your foods and replace it with these shakes to lose weight. Slim fast methods. Yeah. All you're doing is you're just taking an average, you know, 350 to 400 calorie meal and replacing it with 180 calorie or 200 calorie shake. And it's just a calorie game you're playing. And the reality is that's not very sustainable long term because who's going to drink shakes for the rest of life. So I hate that as a strategy too. Now, that doesn't mean I think protein shakes are a waste of money. They're extremely useful when needed. If somebody has a hard time reaching their protein intake and their goal is fat loss, there's a lot of benefit to you making sure you hit your protein intake so that when you're working out, you build muscle, which then in turn speed your metabolism up. So shakes have tremendous value if you struggle to hit your protein intake. Or if you don't have a good healthy choice around and you're like, oh, I could either order this, you know, burrito or this big Mac that my buddy's ordering right now, or I can be disciplined and have this protein shake. Great, great decision right there. But adding it to your normal eating isn't going to make you lose weight. Like I remember when I was a kid, I had an aunt that had these diet popsicles. They were like weight watchers, weight loss popsicles. Yeah. And I remember thinking, don't eat those because you'll lose weight. Like it'll make you know, that's not how it works, right? So you can't throw a shake on top of your normal food. That's what the label says. And expect to lose weight. It doesn't work that way. There's a dark side, by the way, to all these stimulants, which is that they do spike stress hormones in the body. And let's say you're somebody that's already pushing it with your training. Your training is like you're redlining, you're hitting that limit. You're optimizing everything. You're doing what your body can handle to try to get the best results. Then you throw on top of it something that spikes your cortisol or stress hormones. You actually might make yourself go backwards. I've had cases where people have lost muscle from taking too many fat-fully recovering. I mean, you're just keeping your body in this state of stress consistently. And your body in that state isn't going to be able to repair itself very effectively.
