What happens to your body, your running biometrics, and your psychological sanity when you eat a massive mountain of lentils every single day?
In this video, I’m putting the ultimate budget satiety food to the test to see if a high-volume lentil protocol is actually sustainable for muscle gain, weight management, and endurance training. From navigating the grueling first week to tracking real-time recovery data, here is the honest truth about this ultimate food science experiment.
📊 WHAT WE COVER IN THIS VIDEO
The Science of Satiety: How massive food volume impacts natural GLP-1, and the role of resistant and retrograded starch in gut health.
Biometric Tracking: A deep dive into my Whoop Strain & Recovery graphs to see how a high-fiber protocol affects athletic performance.
The Weekly Breakdown: Navigating the psychological wall of flavor fatigue ("Week 1 BUT..."), finding the rhythm ("TWO: The Turn"), and the final adaptation ("THREE: The Settle").

Egyptian yellow lentil soup with potatoes and carrot is my favorite lentil dish.

When two detectives show up at your door to show you an arrest warrant for being a scofflaw, your life takes a sudden turn. To make a long story short, the judge took my next two paychecks, which left me with $2 in my pocket. In 1975, you could get a large bag of lentils and a large bag of carrots for that amount of money. I had carrots and lentils every day for two weeks straight. People ask me if the experience caused me to hate lentils. Hell no, they kept me alive for two weeks during desperate times.

I've eaten lentils daily since the 1970s. In some cultures they are daily staples.

Let us all take a moment of silence for Mark's toilet and send thoughts and prayers that it was able to stay strong during this experiment.

You had me "at insane gas." That's all I needed to be convinced.

Ive reversed my t2 diabetes. Back to normal HcAb1 readings. I eat lentils and or barley as my carb portion of a meal. No rice, no pasta, no potatoes. Really filling and no snack cravings. Lost 42lbs, 25% of my body mass. Of course I’m exercising and I only have 2 meals a day.

This is exactly what I'm doing, sort of. I'm eating boiled legumes (spiced and seasoned with salt) for about 2 months now. Lost 5 kg and 2 inches in waist. Because I keep changing legumes and spices, it's sustainable. Everyday new taste.

Indian dishes have been a godsend with trying to work in a lot more pulses/dried legumes like beans, chickpeas, lentils and such. Kept things varied enough

Soak lentils. Change water. Boil lentils. Drain. Rinse. Less farting. L
ALso - add a touch of asofetida or fennel seeds

I like lentils, but I think I'd rather do an assortment of dried beans for variety. I sometimes just open and rinse a can of beans as my evening snack 😅

I've been using lentils now also daily, and surprisingly what happened was after my lentil soup lunch, with toasted wholmeal spelt bread with avocado, I felt quite full, and no energy drop in the afternoon. The other thing was that I just stopped thinking about food in the afternoon! The "food noise" Mark mentions happened to me, so watching this part of the video was quite interesting, and my ears perked up [the 11.20 of the video]. I just didn't think that much about food, whereas before I was constantly fighting cravings. It's definitely helped the scales go down! This is a great channel, and has inspired me to try out more legumes in my diet. Thank you Mark! 🙂🙂

I always combine lentils with a whole grain, like oatmeal, bulgur, rice.. that way you get a full protein profile and the blood sugar levels don’t spike. And the variety of dishes never gets you tired of eating lentils or chickpeas or beans.

I was in Nepal for the first 4 months of this year and most days I had lentils for one meal, if not two meals per day. And the locals there seem to have lentils and rice (dal bhat) for every mea, three times a day! I asked a few if the Nepalese what their favourite dish was and the reply was always dal bhat. Some of them would quote "Dal bhat power - 24 hour!"
I have to say, I was fairly done with lentils for a while after that, but I'm enjoying them every so often now in soups and curries etc.

You've convinced me with the Food Noise argument. I need to bring up the amount of lentils that I eat because honestly, my food noise is through the roof when I manage to lose even 10lbs

I ate half that amount of lentils for a winter and still eat them, I love them, in summer I prefer chickpeas

If you add a pinch of baking soda to the beans when you place on the stove to cook you will not have all that gas. Old tip my grandma used and it works. I never cook my beans(any kind) without adding a good pich of baking soda there is never any gas.
