Tip #7 has been a game changer. So glad i stumbled upon your channel and Greg's during covid. Y'all changed my life and I've been at a steady weight and know how to lose weight without being so damn miserable

[@cassandraedwards3656]

I have yet to be successful in shedding the weight and maintaining it. I really believe tip #6 is going to be the key for me. A month ago, I bit the bullet and decided to try your recipes, and since then, I have not craved bad food all the time as I used to. I've lost 1.5 inches off my waist, and today, I am wearing a pair of jeans I couldn't zip up or button before without cutting my circulation 😅. Thanks for doing what you do!!

[@JustinTafoya801]

I cannot express how true everything he says is. I've been following every one of these steps since May, except the cheat meals (I'm working on it), and I've dropped 30 lbs. Like many of you, I've tried other things and have had different levels of success, but nothing sustainable. No lies were told here. Once you get your diet under control, you can lose weight.

[@danielfortier5136]

Just bought the anabolic cookbook, so excited to start this journey!!

[@princess51275]

Thank you!!! I love your attitude. I love your spirit. I love your energy. I love all the wonderful advice you give, and I love all your recipes. I’m so grateful for coming across your channel.😊

[@adamwentworth8329]

Bro, your content and recipes are amazing. thanks for being authentic throughout the years. Really appreciate you.

[@62kevin]

Great tips, and a great message. Keep up the great work RJF!

[@stuck272]

Good to see the revamped mindset. Been watching for a while and followed a lot of your air frying videos. I have the same approach as you now with fitness. In my 20s I'd only eat egg whites, broccoli, chicken, and rice. Now me and my gf just cook the healthy versions of all our favourite foods. Almost at the beach body for our back packing trip to Europe next month. I promise there will be zero calories counted for 2 weeks XD.. It's not hard to get back on track when you actually enjoy your routine!! I look forward to everyday

[@mikehenry872]

Love all your advice, keep it coming man

[@alienautopsy9326]

Very good video. It can be very discouraging when cutting watching the scale go the other way. Sometimes even just one less hour of sleep can throw progress off. When training hard , your body is highly sensible to everything you eat. Keep grinding, eventually your body gets the message what you’re trying to accomplish

[@TheTrojanSaw]

Best video you’ve ever made brother. From weight/nutrition to workouts. If you don’t like a workout don’t do it! Just stimulate and exhaust the muscle in any way you prefer. Keep it up 👏🏽

[@WHEY2GETFIT]

Awesome information.

[@adventurefj819]

I've been on the fitness path for a while now, but its nice to get a refresher on weight loss. Perfect timing. Thanks Rem!

[@ChairBear56]

Outstanding video, always appreciate your advice!🙏🥇 Blessings💘

[@920WIZCO]

Lots of good tips Rem!

[@lc500yyc]

Great tips all around, honest and easy for the average joe that just wants to look good.

[@josephroa4475]

Fantastic video…some of the reminders certainly hit home.

[@MichaelEThies]

Great tips. The 1000 calories limit for a cheat meal is a good thing to implement. Struggling with losing the last bit of weight but I know it's just water retention in summer so I'm not even stressing about it anymore and just going to live life like you said and just continue to track and be active

[@djdomester]

Great video man , Thank you 🙏🏼

[@hairball1]

Has any one told you that you resemble a jacked Vanilla Ice. lol anyways new subscriber going to binge watch some of your vids, I like what I see and hear. Keep up the honest work!

[@liteoreo]

Love this man. Addicted to his recipes

[@bearforce187]

I stopped doing regular deadlifts , just use trap bar , dumbbells, RDL's etc and there is no difference really, unless you are training for power lifting competitions, you do not need regular deadlifts or squats, as you said there are alternatives that work just as well and much safer.

[@KenzNurse]

Great video!! Thanks! Volume eating has been huge for me, gives me that "full" feeling while staying within my macros. I LOVE the macro factor app 1000% better than MFP.

[@looney1571]

Your best video ever

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

Dude I was just thinking about you at Walmart earlier 😂 I ended up getting one of those Birds Eye pastas that you recommended trying, it's not bad! Has a slight weird almost broccoli taste, but I've found that every "healthy" alfredo like Lean Cuisine and shit has that taste. Thankfully it's not super strong in this one :D currently scarfing it as I type 😂 the cat keeps trying to steal it so it must be good! Thanks Rem ❤ it's a small step but even small healthy steps help

[@Snowboardjedi892]

I’m looking forward to anabolic French toast.

[@Ryan-ik2mk]

Hey mate love your videos been watching for years. Pulled the trigger on the recipe book yesterday love it. Some feedback if I could, would love to see it formatted a bit nicer with a photo from the video. Would love to see the macros formatted like a nutrition label per-serve/per100 Other than that it’s a brilliant book, been hooked on the anabolic soft serve ice cream for years 😂

[@okaycola2]

Definitely did the cut-cal-for-years-n-destroyed-muscle routine. Better to eat differently

[@TheHiveGuardian]

Thanks for being an inspiration brother!! You still in Houston? Hope to bump into you at LA and get a workout in 😂

[@ohWAFE]

Rem i appreciate this video man, made me feel validated cause i am the guy that does 1000 under so i felt crazy but its the only way i can do it. Once i finally get to 10% of course a adjust but still

[@guillermovaldez8250]

Great video. What is the name of the song in your intro? I keep looking for it but cannot find it. Thanks for the tips and advice!

[@dukefan1010]

Don't forget the roids and stuff too tho bro. Healthy eating lifestyle is definitely a massive part too tho.

[@venkarri8534]

Tbh, I like the 2016 body tone better than 2024 - it looks healthier.

[@RealMattKiefer]

lol high body body definitely doesnt look healthier

[@AllyCakes12]

I gave uo trying to tell people that cutting out carbs is the same as CICO that is why they lose weight so fast, yet they still say I'm wrong lol

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

Meatballs are meatballs . Mike Mentzer was one of the first fitness influencers to say that. You could eat 2,000 Cals in table sugar and still lose weight .

[@TheSupart91]

Yea one summer bcuz it was hot i didn't eat anything....only just protein shakes bith Casein and whey mixed (iced water in my cooler to mix it with) and dropped weight way to fast so i would eat out on weekends and maintained it ...until winter 🤣🤣😂😂 only gained 20lbs back outta the 90 lost

[@roygon]

Cutting out carbs does lower your hunger by a lot which makes a deficit much easier to do in my experience. Also, I feel a lot better when I cut out carbs for longer periods of time but it just gets boring because I like so many types of food so most of the time I just track and eat the delicious carbs

[@bearforce187]

Same here, I have a co-worker that thinks carbs are evil and calories do not matter, no matter what you tell her, she thinks she knows it all.

[@andyfreeman6865]

​@roygon Carbs keep me from wanting fat. When I eat carbs, I'm hungrier more often but it's REALLY hard to overconsume rice or potatoes. It's easy to overconsume sugars(I love ice cream) or just very tasty food. When eating chicken and rice, the food is not too dense whereas snacks, muffins, bags of chips, whatever goodies you desire typically are. Swapping g from whole milk to fat free cut those calories in half

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

In the words if my old prep coach . Its a supplement not a cure all. The proper ones maje your body efficient and optimal.

[@dasilvs1832]

🔥

[@okaycola2]

Considering the cookbook very seriously. Is it available in paperback?

[@maliaw8392]

So I have a question for any and all who can answer and help…. I have calculated my maintenance calories, deducted the deficit for weight loss, figured out my macros for a female at 51, 5’8.5”, 207lbs. I don’t do much exercise as a clinic nurse besides walk, or… occasionally run if the scenario calls for it. I just can’t eat enough food to hit my markers. Now, the one caveat I have is that I had gastric bypass surgery 25 years ago and have kept off the 180lbs that procedure made me lose. My stomach is smaller, I take my vitamins and supplements, I drink 80 to 120 oz of water a day. Does anyone have any food suggestions in any shape or form that help me meet my numbers? Thank you for taking the time to read and try to help, and I know… I know…. I am looking at putting some “me” work out time into my days. LET’S DO IT!❤

[@studiesinflux1304]

(I'm just some random person on day 60 of a weight loss journey, so you'll want to cross-reference with dieticians or other studies.) Is the issue that you're getting full so quickly due to the procedure you're missing macro and calorie targets? You may want to look into "satiety index" of foods and start your meals with dense, low satiety foods (which opposes general diet advice, but applicable to this case). For example, half a cup of mixed roasted nuts (almonds, peanuts, etc) is usually 300+ calories and has a few decent micronutrients as well. I always measure with a scale when I'm working with those foods, since even an extra spoon of the stuff makes me go over on my calories. I think protein will be the toughest target because protein itself is high satiety, so I'm not sure if you can hit targets without supplement shakes. Low fat cottage cheese, egg whites, or unsweetened yogurt may get close. You may also able to get away with lower protein numbers than what's usually mentioned online. A lot of the fitness videos show the high protein numbers for athletes already at a low body fat percentage: if you're trying to lose fat mass coming from higher body fat, studies I saw discuss protein numbers as low as 0.5 grams per pound of your TARGET and not current weight as sufficient to not lose lots of muscle. (Personally I barely manage 0.6 grams of protein per lb of target body weight, and the reps/sets I'm recording in weightlifting are increasing ever so slightly.) On the other side, you want to avoid starting a meal with high satiety and high volume foods like oatmeal or leafy greens because you'll feel full quickly. Order matters, since starting a meal with high satiety index foods makes your body signal you to stop eating.

[@maliaw8392]

@@studiesinflux1304 Thank for taking time to reply with such helpful advice. I never considered the satiety concept before. The pouch created during the procedure has stretched over time, but I never thought eating filling foods that take longer to go thru gastric digestion might be the issue. I do protein shakes from powder and add collagen, along with the powdered supplements I take (just easier to mix them all in). I went with a moderate protein load in my macros, because as you mentioned the high protein goals are intended for high output athletes. I didn’t think I needed to go that extreme. I will admit, there have been times I have gone back to puréeing my foods just like I had to do after surgery, and although it isn’t the most visually appealing, I already know what can be blended with what and retain the flavor as if it weren’t puréed. I will definitely take your pearls if wisdom to heart and make some changes and see if that helps! Thank you again, as I am new to anabolic eating and will take all the help and advice I can get. Next step is the gym…. Lord help me there!🤩

[@kevinmccarty463]

Track your cheat meal calories 😱, heresy 😂.

[@LaCrosseEscapeRoom]

First!

[@tjan3938]

I under ate for so many years going to the best sports nutritionist. When I increased my calories to 3000 to 3500 a day weight starting falling off. Calories in vs. Calories out is old science. I have been carnivore for 13 years. I am 52 and build muscle. I have tons of energy and I found what works for me. People think I am in my 20's. Beef is definitely a super food

[@FabioFinancial]

I’m not a rapper but I love your videos. You’re so detailed and a professional. Love it! Love it!
