Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.

Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Like all of the time you're eating it has like... I think bodybuilders do, bodybuilders do multiple meals.

Yeah. Like all of the time you're eating it has like... I think bodybuilders do, bodybuilders do multiple meals.

Yeah, it's interesting because to bring the conversation full circle, that's like intermittent fasting is part of where you get the whole calories and calories that idea. Because it's like, oh, I'm going to take my calorie. I'm going to take all my calories in like two meals based in whatever it is, four hours, right? Yeah, four.

Because it's like, oh, I'm going to take my calorie. I'm going to take all my calories in like two meals based in whatever it is, four hours, right? Yeah, four.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I think so. I believe it to eat. And so that gets reduced to calories in. I think calories in, calories out was a very, it's like a well-meaning idea. And it was basically the way people are telling you to eat is so complicated. So it's like, let's just reduce it to this. But then we get so reductive with it that it kind of, it becomes counterproductive in its own.

But then we get so reductive with it that it kind of, it becomes counterproductive in its own.

I would say you want to have like four meals a day, right? And each meal you want to aim for 20 grams of protein, okay? And try to get this from a natural source. Make sure you get something green on your plate, right? And then get, you know, three to four ounces of a carb. And if you do that, right, and then you want to have, you want to ideally have some kind of water on the side.

And if you do that, right, and then you want to have, you want to ideally have some kind of water on the side.

And if you do that... Not some kind of water.

And if you do that... Not some kind of water.

BLK water. And BLK water is actually perfect, right? So I think if you do that, it checks a lot of boxes. And again, there's a variety in there, right? Because your 20 grams of protein can be eggs or chicken or fish, right? Um, and your, your green vegetable can be something different every time you're checking a lot of boxes in terms of getting fiber in your system, which is really good.

Um, you're checking a lot of boxes with, um, with the protein, which your body needs.

Um, you're checking a lot of boxes with, um, with the protein, which your body needs.

Yeah. I think it's interesting cause I think we've come, I think we've come a long way in the fiber conversation just in, and it's funny cause I love white rice. which is, I can't remember.

Yeah. I think it's interesting cause I think we've come, I think we've come a long way in the fiber conversation just in, and it's funny cause I love white rice. which is, I can't remember.

I mean, to be fair, I don't know if they have brown rice. They probably have brown rice. I probably could ask for it. I've kind of enjoyed just getting away from brown rice.

I mean, to be fair, I don't know if they have brown rice. They probably have brown rice. I probably could ask for it. I've kind of enjoyed just getting away from brown rice.

I haven't heard this.

I haven't heard this.

Hmm.

Hmm.

I have heard the thing that brown rice is overrated compared to white rice. It's not markedly better.

I have heard the thing that brown rice is overrated compared to white rice. It's not markedly better.

Yeah, white rice tastes so much better, too. I'm also Asian, so I'm kind of like... I know.

Yeah, white rice tastes so much better, too. I'm also Asian, so I'm kind of like... I know.

So, so that, but that's, that's again, why I'm big into like, It's like if you kind of loosely follow... If everybody loosely followed what I'm saying, right? They're covered. But choose your own carb. Don't let the internet choose it for you. Yeah. Choose your own mixed vegetable.

It's like... Like a russet potato. Yeah. It's like at a high level, if you're like... planning to try out for like, you know- Or like a competition or something. Exactly. But then that matters. Right.

It's like... Like a russet potato. Yeah. It's like at a high level, if you're like... planning to try out for like, you know- Or like a competition or something. Exactly. But then that matters. Right.

so so and that's interesting because the the older we get the more precise we have to get with all with all this stuff like the healthier we have to eat and

so so and that's interesting because the the older we get the more precise we have to get with all with all this stuff like the healthier we have to eat and

yeah i mean so isn't building muscle when we're older like i believe after 40 especially for men um sarcopenia becomes like a major issue i think the the two things the two things we want to do um or there are three things we want to do first off um and this is this is kind of one of those things we're told it we're told by kind of modern fitness right is you've got to do the um

yeah i mean so isn't building muscle when we're older like i believe after 40 especially for men um sarcopenia becomes like a major issue i think the the two things the two things we want to do um or there are three things we want to do first off um and this is this is kind of one of those things we're told it we're told by kind of modern fitness right is you've got to do the um

the kind of big exercises, right? You have to lift heavy, okay? And older people should definitely try to lift heavy. I think every human on the planet should work up to being able to deadlift like their body weight plus at least 50 pounds. And that's not unattainable, right? And you have to take your time to work up there. So I think older people shouldn't be afraid to lift heavy.

They should do that at least twice a week.

They should do that at least twice a week.

Yeah, I think, I think two things.

Yeah, I think, I think two things.

Yeah, yeah. It's mainly like challenge yourself, like again, working up to that heavy part, working up to say your body weight plus 50 pounds in a deadlift. You might want a trainer for that, right? You want somebody around who can kind of help you master your form or you want to like watch like a clinic I'll give on the deadlift online with you in like three weeks, right?

Yeah, yeah. It's mainly like challenge yourself, like again, working up to that heavy part, working up to say your body weight plus 50 pounds in a deadlift. You might want a trainer for that, right?

Um, but, um, I just, I just think don't be afraid of, of heavier weights. Right. And you, and the key is like, is the rep scheme, right. Is, um, like, it's, it's like you learn, you learn with lighter weights, how to, how to kind of get your form down. But then you, you've got like, at some point you want to, um,

Um, but, um, I just, I just think don't be afraid of, of heavier weights. Right. And you, and the key is like, is the rep scheme, right. Is, um, like, it's, it's like you learn, you learn with lighter weights, how to, how to kind of get your form down. But then you, you've got like, at some point you want to, um,

challenge yourself right um and you're going to keep the reps low you're going to do like one or two reps and that's fine i think a lot of people get caught up in again more work right so it's like oh i'm going to do sets of like 12 and 15 reps i'm going to tone you know except toning really doesn't is kind of toning doesn't really exist right and it's like again don't talk about that i think you don't really you and i may think that but most people don't realize that so why don't you talk about that

challenge yourself right um and you're going to keep the reps low you're going to do like one or two reps and that's fine i think a lot of people get caught up in again more work right so it's like oh i'm going to do sets of like 12 and 15 reps i'm going to tone you know except toning really doesn't is kind of toning doesn't really exist right and it's like again don't talk about that i think you don't really you and i may think that but most people don't realize that so why don't you talk about that

Yeah. I honestly don't even, I barely even know what the word means, right? It's not, it's not, it's funny because when you read... Women's magazines. Do women's magazines say it? I don't read them.

Yeah. I honestly don't even, I barely even know what the word means, right? It's not, it's not, it's funny because when you read... Women's magazines. Do women's magazines say it? I don't read them.

It's interesting because we literally, I'm actually trying to think back to the last time I used it in men's health. I've been in men's health for four and a half years now. And the answer is never.

It's interesting because we literally, I'm actually trying to think back to the last time I used it in men's health. I've been in men's health for four and a half years now. And the answer is never.

Yeah, I think it's almost like I feel like it got caught up in societal kind of... Because of that whole, oh, well, we can't say build muscle to women, right? And bulking freaks them out, right? So here, we're going to get them lifting weights because it's going to tone them, whatever. I honestly don't know what the word means.

Yeah, and I think that is what it is. Yeah, you're right. It is so much kind of like marketing and, and spin. And it gets, it gets confusing for people.

Yeah, and I think that is what it is. Yeah, you're right. It is so much kind of like marketing and, and spin. And it gets, it gets confusing for people.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because the internet, the internet is a treasure trove of confirmation bias.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Because the internet, the internet is a treasure trove of confirmation bias.

Yeah. It's toning. Toning is, but I think toning is like, toning is like the woman way. And don't take that the wrong way.

Yeah. It's toning. Toning is, but I think toning is like, toning is like the woman way. And don't take that the wrong way.

I mean, it sounds like it's in all the women's magazines. So it's basically because I feel like we, I feel like guys try to cut, rip, shred. It's basically the equivalent to that.

I mean, it sounds like it's in all the women's magazines. So it's basically because I feel like we, I feel like guys try to cut, rip, shred. It's basically the equivalent to that.

Yeah.

Yeah.
