About the channel on Youtube
In fact, I have a channel for adults on Youtube. My audience is from 35. There are a lot of smart words and you have to constantly “Google”, this is how I weed out my audience. There I talk about dietetics, about fitness, I add psychology there... I love the texts, I don’t like the picture as such. You write something, when a person reads it, he may have a completely different picture in his head. He imagines himself differently.
And when you show a picture, you show your vision. It is more difficult for a person to imagine new images; everything has already been shown to him. That's it and no other way.
I used youtube as a server for my articles. I dropped the video and posted it in articles. Then more and more people began to come from YouTube, video content began to win. Nobody wants to read texts. Here I have three paragraphs, the answer is in the third. People read the first one and immediately write me a question. People have stopped reading texts and are starting to watch videos. Moreover, the shorter the video length, the better. Clip thinking is developing, but on my channel the average video is an hour long.
Yaroslav Brin. If you were given money and you took it, you can no longer be impartial
My YouTube channel is not for money. For the ego. Moreover, I came to fitness in 2010-2012, I was already financially established. I worked as a major executive. If you monitor my social media, there are no ads at all. Nothing, I never advertised. The biggest contract I turned down was that of functional food manufacturers who offered thirty “mules” for my face.
If it were a matter of money, now I would be on all the shelves and on TV: “Eat our soy product...” But since you are already wealthy, the advertiser cannot manipulate your opinion. Because if they gave you money and you took it, you can no longer be impartial.

About nutrition and training
In general, it is better to divide. Nutrition is to get rid of fat, to lose weight. And training is for the aesthetics of the body, to be stronger, more resilient. But it’s better not to put them together, otherwise people start playing around. They first overeat, and then spend fasting days. Or they are trying to work it out. Man loves to punish himself. I did something wrong at school and my parents punished me. If you don’t do your work at work, you are punished. Then the January holidays, February holidays. You go to the gym and suffer. Exactly until the next holidays. That is how we live.
People overeat first and then try to lose fat
Over millions of years of evolution, those who most efficiently stored energy products survived and passed on their genes. We can only store it in one place, the fat depot. We cannot penetrate into internal organs, into muscles - up to a certain percentage, then we lose our efficiency and mobility. Therefore, accumulation in the muscles is also limited. And there is no limit on fat.
Now a person weighing 600 kilograms is not even included in the Guinness Book of Records. And a hundred years ago, people who weighed more than 100 kilograms were shown in the circus as something amazing. And now it seems that this circus has multiplied. Literally a hundred years have passed. What is a hundred years for evolution? We haven’t even had time to evolve to the products that are now offered to us. That is, calories are becoming cheaper every year. The energy density of products increases.
