When I'm cutting, I have to get into a mindset that being hungry...is not a problem. I feel hungry, ok, that's not like a fire alarm or a gigantic tiger running at me. I don't have to treat it as a problem because it isn't one. It's remarkable how much we're trained to see being hungry at all ever as a problem in need of an immediate solution. You can just BE hungry.

this point with "identifying as someone on a cut" is so true. the switch from "my life is all about losing weight" to "normal day, just eating some more broccoli and less cookies" made everything so much easier. especially if you're not an stage athlete, you really don't need to worry that much.

[@markdover3825]

How many meals do you eat during the day and what food do you eat?

[@lurksnitchtongue8986]

@@markdover3825 Neither of those things matter. All that matters are macros and calories in/calories out. I recommend eating about 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat if you're trying to cut and maintain muscle and 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat when you're bulking. As for your calorie intake, that really depends. Get a rough TDEE estimation through the Internet, then weigh yourself before eating that much for a week or two. If you stay the same weight that really is your maintenance, and from there I would dial back 300-500 calories if you're cutting, vice versa for bulking.

[@markhill8150]

​@@lurksnitchtongue8986 it definitely does matter what kind of foods you eat. As mentioned in this video satiety vs calorie ratio is very important.

[@lurksnitchtongue8986]

@@markhill8150 I truly do not understand how anyone can have a problem with satiety unless they're slamming cookies and mcdonalds. Either that or using 73% lean beef and 4 tablespoons of butter every time they cook. If you cook your own food (which is a given for counting calories any way), count your calories and macros, do cardio, and remain consistent - you will lose weight and you will be able to eat a satisfying amount of food. If not, your hunger is likely in your head and you need to find a distraction. People make weight loss far too complex. What I'm trying to tell Mark is you don't need to eat these magic foods or eat at certain times of the day. It is simply calories in vs calories out over a long period of time. The rest is intuitive. Don't eat cookies for every meal, don't drink beer, don't dump sugar in your coffee, don't get McDonald's. The foods not to eat are obvious. What isn't obvious to a lot of people is there are no magic shortcuts, it just requires consistency and telling yourself no.

There’s nothing to debate in this video. Having dropped from 220lbs at 5ft 3 to fluctuating between 145 and 150, I have found it extremely helpful in this last few % of body fat I want to lose is by tracking. The one thing I’d like to point out is it’s extremely important to know what your maintenance calories is to precisely know how much of a caloric deficit or surplus depending on your goals. From there you can achieve everything

[@JoshMariana]

Grats on your success. I'm currently on the way down and have never felt better, but I'm wondering if you have any tips for finding what my exact maintenance calorie number is? As I approach my goal weight in 2-4 weeks I am starting to think about what my daily caloric intake should look like and it's making me a little anxious. I use Noom to track, just not sure how accurate their numbers are. I am usually 15-25% under the number of calories they want me taking in even on the "fast weight loss" track, and have been losing only 1-2lbs a week. Which I'm fine with, but if their numbers are accurate I feel like I'd be losing more. I have been lifting 3 days a week so muscle gain is definitely a factor as well.

[@ogphilosopher9471]

@@JoshMariana thanks bro. It honestly depends on what your goals are. If you don’t have access to a body scanner that tells you your maintenance calories the general rule of thumb is to take your body weight and multiply it by 10 and whatever that number is, is your maintenance calories. A healthy ratio of macros is 40% protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fats. MyFitnessPal is the easiest I’ve found to know exactly how many grams of each to consume.

JoeyD coming in clutch right before summer 🔥

[@matt46142]

Solid advice. Here’s my experience: 1: I upgraded to a Wyze scale (US$30). It tracks everything, including a breakdown of muscle mass, body fat percentage, and bone mass (not 100% accurate but better than BMI) and logs it in an app. Absolute game changer for me when I noticed I’m losing muscle mass when I lose fat too quickly. 2: I used to be a string bean then started binge eating as a cope. I went keto and did lots of cardio but ultimately it just got me a skinny fat bod. Strength training is absolutely a priority now and while the visible improvements are slower, I’m overall healthier and have more energy, and look better even at a higher body fat percentage. Plus, running sucks. Jumping rope on the other hand… 3: Tracking meal in LifeSum helped me understand my nutritional decisions better so I could create a nutritional plan. When I learned more about the importance of volumes, I planned a really boring workout regime that hit every muscle I needed to hit at the right volume for growth. And that’s been obviously way better than anything else I’ve done including push-pull-leg splits. 4: I started planning controlled cheat meals and absolute game changer. I don’t like binging as much because when 6/7 days I’m eating right, and then I eat like shit, I really feel how shitty it makes me feel. I still get cravings but I control it by planning cheat meals. I also stopped keeping those cheat foods in the house because I know I’m prone to binging. 5: Melatonin is my best friend. As was stopping the nightlife thing and getting healthier interests and friends were key to that. Getting enough sleep and learning to become a morning a person has been a game changer. 6: When I started tracking meals and nutrition, damn. I only trust food I cook myself and restaurants are my cheat meals. I get my sweet tooth satisfied with fruit and make sure I get lots of fiber. Thinking about fiber forces you to go after more whole foods. 7: I hate flat water. So mineral water and/or flavoring it with lemon juice, mint, etc. is key for me. 8: Boredom is the enemy to anyone who has a history of binging. Go for a hike, a walk, etc. Hell even gaming makes me ignore hunger cues, though that hobby has its own issues. Find activities, and friends who can socialize without food and drink. 9: See above. 10: See above.

[@Jannajx5]

how do you recommend taking melatonin for a newbie?

[@Exodus26.13Pi]

Masterpiece! You should copy/paste this everywhere until finished.

[@matt46142]

@@Jannajx5 Melatonin is pretty easy to use. You can start with a 2mg dosage about an hour or two before you plan on going to bed. It’s not a sleeping pill but will help you fall asleep and sleep deeper. You can adjust according to how you react. If you frequently feel groggy in the morning or have extremely vivid dreams and nightmares, take less. If you don’t feel any difference then take more. I take 5mg personally and am happy with that. You won’t develop tolerance like with caffeine to there’s no need to cycle. And there aren’t any dangers associated with long-term usage for most people but some do experience behavioral (like irritability and anxiety) and mechanical (like diarrhea) side effects. If this doesn’t resolve with a smaller dosage then you just have to settle with something else. In the US and Canada, it’s an over-the-counter supplement so use a trusted brand because they aren’t well regulated and only a few actually contain the claimed amount. This means paying more for the real thing instead of buying a cheap product that’s cut with corn starch. In some countries, like the UK, you’ll need a prescription.

Controlled cheating - Promotes long term adherence - Plan cheat meals so you don't become a victim of your impulses 5. Establish a sleep routine - Have a strict bed time 6. Whole food diet - Eat clean the majority of the time 7. Stay hydrated - Drinking water with meals helps you feel more full 8. Stay busy/distracted - You won't notice the time between meals as much - Try to think about dieting as little as possible 9. Burn calories for fun - Exercise that doesn't feel like exercise 10. Track absolutely everything - Track every calorie - You won't be good at estimating to start #SharedFromTwos ✌ If you want to save this list of habits: www.TwosApp.com/644f915a24aa330ff01bbe53

[@sebastianmarx5050]

For me these two tips are what helps. 1. Mindful eating: Be conscious of every bite you take. Eat slower. You’ll feel far more full probably half way into the meal than if you ate without thinking by the end of the meal. You’ll also just feel better. 2. Enthusiasm= calorie burn. Have enthusiasm. Strive to make everyday fun and stimulating. Don’t be a couch potato. Go do something. Fill your day with fun activities and you’ll feel less hungry and far more satisfied and tired by the time you get in bed at the end of the day.

Great tips. I ditched the scales, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Of course everyone is different but for me this was a game changer. I was so discouraged seeing my weight fluctuate. I was so focused on weight so when I saw no difference or very little, I felt deflated. It actually made me not want to train. Ever since I ditched it, I fell in love with training again. It’s how I felt that was the priority and not my weight. Because I enjoyed it, I did more of it, liked to push myself to see what I can do. I use my cloths as the indicator of where I’m at. When I had to be weighed at the doctors, I weighed more than I did before I ditched the scales but I was leaner and my body composition was very different.

I did the calorie counting with MyFitnessPal for 7-10 days and it made a massive difference to knowing what I consume, I haven't done it again, but it gave me a great idea of what my most common meals are like. I realised I was eating a lot less than I should most days and even my "cheat days" were only around maintenance level. It allowed me to modify some of my meals to increase intake and my diet is now much more sustainable. It is amazing when you realise some hidden mistakes that most people would never think of. Putting butter on bread was the one that really caught me by surprise, it wasn't far off doubling the calorie intake.

Some things that have been helping me during my current cutting phase (and I'm new to actually cutting and sticking to it!): 1 - Whole foods work wonders!

I'm going to Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia USA next month and I'm really excited to see my friends. Gotta keep at the diet so I look good when I'm there. 3 - Allotting some of my calories for fun stuff like dark chocolate. Keeps me sane and happy!

[@john-carlosynostroza]

Something that really helps me is having what I consider a cheat meal every night. It's within my calorie count for the day and I always save 500 calories for a big bowl of Greek yogurt with a handful of nuts, cranberries, and cinnamon. Sometimes I'll put in an extra hundred calories of corn flakes or something on top. feels like cake to me and I'm still pulling in like 30 g of protein and getting some good nutrition I'm smiling all the way 😊...

For me, since I started weight training again in early March, I'm constantly dealing with the anxiety of actually having break days. I feel the need to be at the gym doing SOMETHING every single day, and I'm trying to still understand why I can't stop myself from just taking a break from the gym for 24 hours. I literally can't do it still, and I know it's affecting my body's ability to recover from the damage I do to it when I lift heavy.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

You’re shooting yourself in the foot big time without realising how much. The recovery process is where the magic happens - not in the gym. Get in, do your PLANNED workout, and get out. The workout is just the spark that drives adaptation. Your body will adapt to whatever stress you expose it to (within reason). There’s no shortcuts. The sets, reps, and overall volume accumulate over time. THAT is where your gains come from. Not a cheat code. Think about it: You spend 1 hour in the gym. You spend 23 hours elsewhere. Which one are you more likely to adapt to? If you want a day off, so some active recovery like hillwalking or swimming or just take a stroll somewhere. Lying on the couch ain’t as restful as we think it might be. Moving around helps remove waste products from your muscles. People overestimate what they can do in a workout but they underestimate what they can achieve in 12 weeks. Planning ahead should help alleviate these hyperactive feelings of anxiety that you have because having a purpose calms the mind and allows you to focus. I was anxious as hell my whole life until a few years ago when I started sleeping more and got a job I didn’t hate, so I know how it feels to crave control over this one aspect of your life. How much sleep do you get anyway? If it’s less than 7 hours then all these other fixes are kinda pointless until you sort that

@@CursedWheelieBin I asked for data, not a redefinition of cardio. I'm trying to figure out what is optimal, here, not poke a hole in your ego. Where did you hear that 'active recovery' helps 'remove waste product' from muscles and facilitate growth, and at what point does it stop being active recovery and become overtraining? You mentioned swimming, that's pretty intensive on the muscles. Ever tried to do 10 laps in an Olympic pool? If you're not a swimmer you're going to get DOMS. So what is the upper limit on 'active recovery'? Is hitting the bag on and off for twenty minutes too much? Is biking 20 miles on a rest day too much strain and overtraining? I enjoy some forms of cardio, and I already know its not something to be wholly avoided, what I have been trying to figure out for years is how much is optimal. Don't talk down to me about 'living my life', I work in fitness and get plenty of physical activity outside of lifting. Hell, I'm about to bike to work right now. I'm not a couch potato that does nothing but count calories and lift. I'm just trying to figure out what an ideal schedule is for rest. Maybe sedentary isn't the right word, but I suspect that walking/biking/jogging for miles and miles every single day is not ideal for recovery. So again, what is your data on light cardio being better for recovery, and at what point does it stop being light cardio and start to become overtraining? Now I am being pissy because you responded to a question about hard data with philosophy. You're a random guy online, I'm not taking your word as gospel, especially not when you consider walking and swimming to be comparable in terms of exertion.

On your scheduled “break days” you could just go and do less weight more volume, nothing intensive for half the time of your usual session. Just to get the blood flowing, I know how it feels.

Good simpke delivery, clearly and confidently spoken, with humour. Great video.

[@charlienorton5433]

Great video Joe! Thanks for the diverse range of useful tips! I would add to the planning bit that you should try to make good calorie choices really easy to make, whilst simultaneously making unhealthy food hard to access. Keep unhealthy food in cupboards hidden from view, or even on the supermarket shelves, and make healthier low calorie choices easier to see so you are more likely to meet your calorie targets. Like you said, planning is key : ) Eating more satiating foods and slightly more protein than I used to really helped me to not feel hungry too, that's my favourite tip from these.

[@calpilot4784]

My first time on this channel - Joe is extremely knowledgeable and articulate, and full of wisdom, along with a bit of humor. Lots of info packed into 10 minutes. I'm going to subscribe.

Certainly a brilliant video. I liked your sentence, "you must know the difference between eating and nourishing"... Thanks a tonne

[@smithlo4092]

For cardio, I use the habit bundle method from Atomic Habits. Since I enjoy watching series and movies, I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't watch them on my computer anymore. This way, I was able to motivate myself to use the spin bike while watching movies and series for 8 months. However, sometimes I had to ride the bike for 2 hours just to finish a movie, which wasn't ideal. Currently, I do a cardio session for only 30 minutes a day after my workout. I will continue watching movies and series while doing cardio for another 30 minutes tomorrow to preserve my muscle and target fat burning.

Great articulation and vocabulary use!

[@mcconlogue1898]

I know these tips are true from past experience, both successes and failures. Great to see them so succinctly presented. They work.

[@JaketheJust]

I went from a bulking phase to a cutting phase. My body fat went from 22% to 15%. Half way there to 10%

[@studiothree]

how did you get your bodyfat %?

[@tylergary5953]

@@studiothree he most likely decreased his calories, increased or maintained a high protein intake, and strength trains multiple days a week hitting all muscles groups. Maybe a day or two of cardio. That’s legit the formula. It’s what I follow. And for my bulk in the winter, I simply increase my calories. Nothing else changes.

[@mdcmdc1]

It gets hard from 12-13% but I'm chipping away. Do 2 weeks, if no loss then I need to walk more or eat fewer calories, repeat. Gradual changes to steps or calories.

[@mark2designs607]

I really appreciate the lack of effort to be flashy here. A solid and straight talk is hard to find these days. Great content!!

[@paladindanse98]

Vegetables, high fiber foods and water! Also keeping busy, even though you can’t increase neat you can still try to consciously burn more calories without direct cardio. Do more chores around the house, take the stairs instead of the lift, park as far away from the shop as possible. A high step count adds up when it comes to burning calories.

[@thehaptiK]

gotta stop ya there at #1 brother. weighing yourself daily is TERRIBLE for your mental health, especially for beginners. its also not a good marker for progress especially if people haven't dialed in their routine or diet. your body composition changes daily with the foods we eat and water we hold onto. if you're already at 10% and your diet and habits are dialed in then knock yourself out shit weigh yourself every hour.. but this is not a constructive piece of advice for everyone.

bro i just love the way this guy talks, joe delaney is my hero!
