Are You A Bulldog? TAKE THE QUIZ: https://bulldogmindset.com/bulldog-quiz-podcast

Hello Bulldogs! John Sonmez from Bulldog Mindset Here, where I teach you how to go from the Victim Mindset to the Bulldog Mindset.

Today i'm doing a response video to a subscriber that asked:

Hello John,

I am a big fan of your content and have been following you for a couple of years now. I apologize off the bat that this is not a business proposition, but I do not use social media so this was the only email address I could find to contact you.

I know you are a busy man, but i wanted to reach out to you and ask you a more personal question: You are helping spread a message and impact peoples lives positively, and I admire what you do and why you do it. That being said, why do you and other content creators who want to spread a message have ads on their YouTube videos or sell products/books? (Please don't misunderstand me. I fully believe in paying for things of value and am purchasing you book shortly as well). I'm meaning , You don't do it for the money. That's obvious. So what motivates you to still market /increase profits from yours products/services? I'm simply trying to understand the mindset of bulldogs and people more successful than myself.

Anyways, keep up what you're doing, it really makes a difference to many people, and I appreciate everthing your content has done for me personally.

Best to you.

In a nutshell, why a millionaire, someone like me, who is a multi millionaire what to make more money , why ?

And this is what we will find out today, that it's not just about spreading a message, but also running a business, being able to support the business and do cool stuff ect ...

Money isn't necessary for me, or for my life style. As you know I live a pretty normal life. I'm not so big on buying expensive stuff.

Money do get you up on the happiness scale. But happiness doesn't have to be the highest goal in itself. It is about being able to live good fulfilling experiences, experience that demand money .

Being able to grow the bulldog mindset, being able to make it support itself and so on ...

That's is why I want more money.

Are You A Bulldog? TAKE THE QUIZ: https://bulldogmindset.com/bulldog-quiz-podcast

Welcome Guys today, we are talking about building muscle and loosing fat with advanced OMAD ( One Meal A Day).

This is something you may not heard before, so i'll give you the science and the basics behind this. The way that your body works, the way it processes sugar or carbohydrates, is that when you get carbohydrates, your body secretes insulin. Insulin causes certain receptors on your muscles, organs and fat cells that are insulin sensitive (have insulin receptors), to open up and receive the carbohydrates.

In order for you to gain fat is that, insulin causes insulin-receptors to be deactivated, while you have glucose running around in your blood stream, causing more insulin to be released and since the muscles and organs aren't using it, it is used by fat cells and stored there.

In the cases of people who have type 2 diabetes, they have a high insulin sensitivity, so they need more insulin in order to reduce their sugar blood level. So in a nutshell the muscles do not need that much insulin to use glucose, so the fat cells that usually have high sensitivity end up storing the glucose by using the insulin.

Insulin and Insulin sensitivity decide what happens in terms of getting fat or loosing it.

Now when your body goes for some time without carbohydrates or any source of fuel for a while, your cells become more insulin sensitive, so your body needs less insulin to activate the insulin receptors in your cells. And that why there are MANY cases of people cured the TYPE 2 DIABETES with FASTING.

So I can restrict my carbohydrates, fasting until it is time where my muscles are primed for insulin responsiveness. And that usually happens right after we left heavy weight and exhaust our muscles.

So what we want to do to build muscle and loose fat is to use this cycle.

And this is What I usually do:

On Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I do My Cardio or muay thai kick boxing, And eat ketogenically, meaning high fat, high protein and very low carbs.

Then Monday, Wednesday, Friday I do my wight lifting days, where I left very heavy, and eat meals that are high in proteins and carbs and little to no fat.

So what ends up happening from a scientific lenses, what is happening is that i'm loosing my cardio days I'm using all the glycogen because i'm carbs depleted. I do replenishing my glycogen storage. Sunday again I eat ketogenically. Monday after my full body workout I again depleted a lot of my muscle glycogen.

Then What happens Super Compensation is activated where any carbohydrates that come in, is not stored as fat, is goes directly to the muscles. So with my meal I have a high carbs meal, like rice or potato to replenish my carbs storage.

This you're changing between anabolic and catabolic states where you are more optimized best, to build muscle and loose fat.

Again you won't get a lot of muscle BUT you are loosing fat!

So you put yourself in anabolic state on the lifting days so you gain muscles. And in the catabolic state you're loosing a lot of fat!

And that's pretty much it! that's my secret! that's the magic!

Are You A Bulldog? TAKE THE QUIZ: https://bulldogmindset.com/bulldog-quiz-podcast

Are you too tight? are in so much stress? Do you need to loosen up ? You don't know how! Well alright that is our subject for today!

Hello Bulldogs! John Sonmez from Bulldog Mindset Here, where I teach you how to go from the Victim Mindset to the Bulldog Mindset.

Usually people you try to act tough by not loosening up, sometimes it is intentional, other times it's not, it is either because they're nervous, quiet type, anxious or in stress.

What happens is that they end up sending vibes of insecurity whether it is because they're shy or nervous So it is very important to be able to loosen up.

Some people use Alcohol to be able to loosen use, and that is a very bad Idea! For reasons that I've mentioned in other videos. Link in the info cards.

Now the main reason why I can loosen up, deal with stress as you can see in my videos and movements, is simply because I don't give a fuck, I just don't care what other people say or think about me. Why? because I'm comfortable since it doesn't matter to me.

Now I wasn't always like this, if you check older videos, you can see the stressed non loosened up version of me, with a very HIGH VOICE, and a very stressed manner.

Usually I acted that way, because I cared, I cared about what you guys are gonna say or think about me. What impression should I make on my viewers? what will be perceived etc ...

Now I don't man, that you should go to the extreme and not care 100%, of course there will be some amount of caring. I'm not doing my videos undressed. Even though I'm a nerd and participate in nerdy activities, I do see a lot of kids who usually are in stress and not loosened up in day to day life, They act in a complete different manner when they are in places where they comfortable, because they belong to that environment. People act cool in situations when they are surrounded by people with similar interests, there is no judgment around thus there is no risk for you.

Now How do you apply this to the actual real world? how to deal with stress situations ? how to loosen Up? The way to apply this is simple, you should go out there, to the world, and start taking chances. It might not be comfortable at first, but after you do a certain number of times and realize you're not going to die, and everything is fine, that doesn't matter. You'll start to be more loosened up and less stressed.

At the End of the day, you can't loosen up is because you fear embarrassment. To me embarrassment is to care what other people think about you. So to feel loosened up you just got to put yourself out there and take chances not afraid of what people are gonna say or think. Yes it is easier said than done, go face rejection, it doesn't matter! You afraid about doing something stupid? Just do it! it doesn't matter !

Get in touch with yourself, meditate. and realize WHAT DOES REAL matter. This way you can loosen up, deal with stress and even handle depression, or even avoid thinking about depression in the first place, since you know what really matter to you.

If you approach life this way, you will be able to loosen up and deal with stress easily.

Finally got to read of of the most amazing books on ancient literature. This was definitely a great experience since I already knew the story but never actually read it.

Is it a good read?

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon: Homer's two epics of the ancient world, "The Iliad & The Odyssey", tell stories as riveting today as when they were written between the eighth and ninth century B.C. "The Iliad", which tells of the siege of Troy by the Greeks, is an unforgettable tale of nations at war and of the courage and compassion heroic soldiers show upon the field of battle. "The Odyssey" is the story of the Greek hero Odysseus and the many marvels and challenges he encounters during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the end of the Trojan War. This edition employs Samuel Butler's classic translations of both texts. "The Iliad & The Odyssey" is part of "Barnes & Noble"'s series of quality leatherbound volumes. Each title in the series presents a classic work in an attractively designed edition bound in durable bonded leather. These books make elegant additions to any home library.

Are You A Bulldog? TAKE THE QUIZ: https://bulldogmindset.com/bulldog-quiz-podcast

Can you have it all? can you have health wealth relationships? all these things .... or you have to sacrifice one to get the other ...

A subscriber Asked: I've heard that in order to be great at anything it has to be the sole focus of your time and your effort, which means there is no balance. You sacrifice things to master and excel at others. But John your life is the opposite of that, your life defies that principle. Please do a video, or answer the following question, Is there a balance in life can you have it all ?

Starting, this is a very complex question, there are so many ways to answer this question, about having the perfect life, mastering every aspect of your life.

And to start, YES YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL. There are plenty of people that do it, and as you said in the E-mail, my life seems to defy that principle, because I BELIEVE IT! I believe there is no reason for me not to be in the best shape in any room I walk into, to be the best styled, to be the one who makes the most money.

There is no need for me to be like that. There is nothing to prove, there is nothing to say, because there will always be other people better than me at something or everything.

However that is no excuse for me not to try and be 90% of the time, the best guy in the room at everything I do. I may sound arrogant, so what? that is how I choose to live my life, THAT IS THE WAY OF THE BULLDOG MINDSET!!

And it's not just about the motivation or need, it is about the mindset that most people don't have. To Be the Best Version of Yourself.

And most of people reject Excellence, like in the video with my buddy Dan Lok, he mentioned that whenever people hear about someone making a lot of money they say it is a scam or something shady going on, that is impossible. I am a living proof of that, people tell me I can't have this physic, I can't be running marathons, doing Muay Thai, they result to accusations like steroids, or lies. Because they CAN'T achieve that living. they don't have the commitment and discipline to be the best version you can be. To live one life with no regrets. THAT IS NOT TRUE! those are assumptions that people have.

Most of people want to rationalize that there is some kind of trade of, so they can justify why they're not succeeding.

However talking about the pragmatic side of this. You can't just automatically have it all like that without effort! Just like Michael Philips did to excel in swimming, you have to isolate yourself for a period of time on focus on one thing you want to excel at, so you can be a better version of yourself, the BEST VERSION of yourself.

So how did I achieve all of these things?

It's by adding these things little by little to your life, and being in maintenance mode. I do focus on one things HOWEVER I maintain the other side of my life, I don't just abandon one thing for the other.

And to be the best version of yourself, the best guy in the room, the bar isn't very high. Just Focus one thing, and drop secondary stuff that you can come back to later, then you go back to those things after.

Believe you can have it all. You have ONE LIFE, there is no time for regrets.
