Belly fat is something that all of us want to reduce whether we have a full beer belly or just that last bit of stubborn fat covering the lower abs. Having a more defined midsection is always a plus since it makes you look more fit, attractive, and healthier. But unfortunately, regardless of whether you're trying to get ready for a beach vacation or you're simply aiming to boost your confidence, the path towards a slimmer waistline can definitely feel like an uphill battle, where you have to fight for every inch you lose, but the second you break your diet all the fat comes right back on seemingly overnight. So today I want to give you guys actionable tips that you can use to start losing that belly fat for good.
And the first one is for those of you who don't want to count calories, don't want to obsess about meal prep, and want a very simple straightforward way to quickly start burning away that excess belly fat, which is to combine fasting with single ingredient natural foods. This is the simplest way to get the job done. You either have one or two meals a day and you fill those meals with single-ingredient foods that either grow out of the ground or walk on the ground. That's it.
With this strategy you can eat until you're full without worrying about eating too much because real natural foods that you won't find in a pretty little box within the inner aisles of the grocery store (1) but instead these foods come in their original form and are mostly found around the outside perimeter of the store, that kind of food is very filling and has a low-calorie density. Meaning there are very few calories within large amounts of those foods. So your stomach is naturally going to start feeling full for a very low amount of calories, and if you fill up your stomach with low-calorie density foods, just once or twice a day you're essentially guaranteed to wind up with a large calorie deficit causing your body to draw energy from your fat stores including your belly fat without much thought throughout the process. The one downside is that it may take a little time to adapt to simply skipping breakfast if you're having 2 meals a day or waiting until dinner if you're having just one meal a day, but I guarantee you, after just a week or two of fasting, you're body will very much adapt by changing its hunger patterns and even changing when it releases hunger hormones like ghrelin versus satiety hormones like leptin.
This brings me to the next tip to make this kind of diet or almost any kind of fat loss calorie deficit plan work optimally you need to prioritize protein. So single-ingredient protein sources include foods like chicken breast, ground beef, steak, salmon, white fish, ground turkey, shrimp, shellfish, tuna, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and also if you're vegetarian or vegan you can go with products like seitan, black bean pasta, and tofu that are actually quite high in protein without any animal-based ingredients. You want to prioritize protein for many reasons. First of all protein is extremely filling. Remember the goal is to fill your stomach and to feel satisfied with your meals without consuming too many calories in the process. Well, protein is perfect for this because not only is it very filling but it also actually costs calories just to digest. This is known as the thermic effect of foods. Protein has a much higher thermic effect than fats or carbs. Its thermic effect is 20-35% compared to 5-15% for fat and carbs. (6) So that means 20 to 35 percent of calories that you take in from protein sources will be used up just to digest and assimilate the nutrients found in that food. On top of all of that protein also helps you build and maintain muscle as long as you're getting at least .73 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day which for most men will work out to about 1 to 2 pounds of animal-based protein sources per day.
And that's another tip, base your workouts around the purpose of building muscle not burning fat. I know it's counterintuitive but your muscles are metabolically active tissues, that require a substantial amount of energy to maintain. This forces your body to burn more calories even at rest. So you should be performing strength-based exercises like deadlifts, squats, bench presses, pullups, and rows with an average of 6 to 10 reps per set while using heavyweight, and your goal should be to continuously up that weight. As you do this over time your muscle fibers will undergo microscopic tears and that will trigger repair and growth over and...

Hi I’ve been following your channel about a week now. I’ve shopped the 20 recommended foods and some of the 10 recommended snacks you mentioned. I am about 6 hours away from finishing my first ever fast. This will be 48 hours. The last 8 hours seem to be most difficult. Wondering on your recommendation on what to eat when breaking fast. Also if I plan to incorporate 48 hours weekly fasting do you think it’s more beneficial to do it in 2 separate days during the week or is the 48hours straight im doing more beneficial. I have to focus my weight loss on diet primarily due to an injury that makes exercising out of the plan for the next 5-6 weeks. Thank you so much!!

I can attest to this strategy working for weight loss and muscle gain, even as a 48 year old woman. For the last 3 months, I've been doing intermittent fasting, 15-18 hours (varying the daily fast), and breaking my fast with a high protein meal. I will workout an hour or 2 after that; 4 hours later a protien shake. I have a light dinner, mostly veggies and a protien source, done eating by 6pm. This strategy has helped me eat way less sugar (protien and magnesium stops the cravings), stopped me from snacking between meals, and has helped my clothes fit and feel a lot better. 😊

Thanks to Max's videos, I've been following these tips and my belly is smaller than it's been for a long time. Even though I weigh 15 lbs more than my lowest weight, my belly is smaller than it was during those times. Packing on the muscle. Where as I used to be hyper focused on what the scale reads, now I'm only worried about that body fat number. Even over the Labor Day weekend, I woke up on Labor Day and could feel that I had less fat on my body than I did heading into the long weekend. My weight is exactly the same as it was on Friday, but my body fat is down almost half a percentage point (I use a scale that weighs body fat, and so does my smart watch. The numbers never match, but I use both to track it just to see the trend)

Quick question. Any suggestions on ab work with Diastasis Recti?

[@adamsteinhardt6393]

Yes, building muscle and depleting glycogen stores is very helpful, but also cardio is helpful too. Losing fat is an energy balance: yes, by using up glycogen stores and building muscle, you increase your base energy usage and ensure that sugars you consume goes to your muscles as glycogen, but to burning fat you absolutely need a calorie deficit and good sleep. Cardio is great for burning calories, it can really help with the deficit, more than strength. This is why I’m a believer in mixed cardio and strength. Reducing calories, especially from sugars is essential too, so that glycogen is replenished from other sources. A slice of bread or a half cup of rice is a high carb day for me when I’m cutting, and this is very effective. And I don’t go hungry, because I eat lean proteins that are filling. Like most things balance and consistency is key.

3:40 actually, the difference is negligible. 1 kg of new muscle will cause you to burn extra 10 kcal /day. Just 10. If you read up, fat is the least metabolically active tissue, next are muscles, and the biggest calorie spenders are internal organs (brain, kidneys, liver, heart...). Putting on muscles is healthy but dont think you will be able to eat all you'd want after going to gym for a year or 2.
