Love this. I haven't lost "weight", because I'm 0.6lbs heavier than 2 years ago this month, but I've gained 12 lbs muscle, lost 11 lbs fat, and lost 7.5% bf. I'm down to 18.3% bf, the lowest I've ever been. Thanks to you and other fitness gurus on KZbin for helping me to learn how to train and eat, and to have a balance, I feel great. I don't feel deprived and I'm enjoying my workouts, and my meals, and I no longer obsess over either. Thanks Abby. On my way to getting even more shredded, slowly but surely.

[@emiliew2375]

16:30 as an experienced chef I can tell you that not a single restaurant just puts "one serving" of sauce/dressing on the meal/salad. It's like 1.5-2 times as much

[@katherinemeara942]

Yes. I am also a chef. I try to never eat out. The oil we cover everything in alone is enough to blow a whole day. Even the healthy stuff. Want an omelet for breakfast? Theres about a tablespoon of canola oil in that pain to make sure it doesn't stick.

[@estycki]

I'm not as lean as Abby, but I lost 50lbs and my big tip is just don't eat out... it's too hard to guess calories from restaurants. Even if you pick the healthier option, it seems silly to pay $15 for such few calories (poor value). Pick your favourite foods, get the hang of using spices (no calories in spices), mix them together, keep your meals simple, and measure everything. It sounds like it sucks, but it wasn't bad at all, and very worth it.

[@1SavageQueen89]

What was the amount of time that you lost the 50? I'm trying to drop that amount right now too. Congrats, by the way, that is a very big accomplishment😊

[@account10558]

If you use a weight loss app that counts calories like Lose It they have the verified amount of calories form different restaurants. Also a lot of restaurants put the amount on their menus.

[@kauigirl808]

Ugh my friends wanna eat out and I cant say no so lots of times I don't eat. Just watch lol.

[@AmericanThighs97]

Honestly, my rule for eating out- because it's ok to do it every once in a while, and balance is a huge key to sustainability- is that I only ever eat half of what I order. That way, even if you're eating a higher calorie meal than usual, you're not going way overboard. Plus there's research that shows that shocking your body by eating more calories than usual (within reason, of course) every once in a while will cause your body to get out of its "I'm 'starving' so I'm going to hold on to as much fat & calories as I can" stage and can actually help you lose more weight and fat long term.

[@account10558]

@@AmericanThighs97 You mean you only order half of what you usually would?

[@AP-gg7ep]

My biggest annoyance is how I view my body changes so much. One day I think I look chubby and the next day I look frail. I'm so confused I think it depends who I work out with and looking at their body.

I saw a comment on your Instagram of someone asking if you could make a video about you embracing your pale complexion when the fitness industry is very pushy about tanning. As a fellow pale redhead, I’d love hear your take on it too!! Or even just an Instagram post or video on Snapchat. Love you so much!!

I feel the same way! I lose 27 pounds since Feb. I wasn't even paying attention to my weight. Just making healthier choices, working out, and eating smaller portions!

[@brandysipos8655]

Showing how you estimated the calories was extremely helpful for me. I tend to be a little bit "type A" when it comes to stuff like calorie counting, so when I can't get exact numbers I feel defeated. This makes me feel like I can estimate successfully and still feel on track.

[@dwarfpolice8940]

I love how you bring in science and talk us through everything. It is so helpful and you bring so much light to fitness❤️❤️ love from London xx

[@natalier105]

Hi Abby. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your channel and honestly your generosity when it comes to sharing all this information as well as tools like the macro calculator. I feel like a lot of other people require money for simple helpful tools like these. Out of the fitness channels i watch you are the most helpful. Especially when you give us the science and specifics on how things work and WHY they work. Im never bored when watching and you honestly make it feel a lot more attainable to get to a fitness goal. This has to be one of my favorite videos because feel like i would do the EXACT same thing you said you would do about falling off track. I would go hard in the gym whenever i would come but then i would stop and eat more. I could maintain weight for the most part but then i would never lose the weight i really wanted. This video makes so MUCH sense!! GAME CHANGER!!!

[@christinamatic5137]

I had been overweight for years in response (almost retaliation) to struggles with eating disorders as a young child. But two summers ago I lost 30 lbs unintentionally and I was almost unaware of it until I noticed clothes looked different on me. I wasn't expecting to make a difference, because I was already following all the advice: only eating fresh, non-processed foods, focusing on vegetables, walking and hiking a lot. I'm still trying to figure out how it happened, but the top two factors were 1) starting a warehouse job that dramatically increased my level of activity and muscle and 2) starting intermittent fasting for digestive health. I refuse to ever start calorie counting again because that took over my mentality as a child. Now I am finding youtubers like you who are promoting a more holistic look at health, and improving relationship with food and exercise. Thank you for uploading.

[@kimberlycross1529]

Its a good day when a new Abby Pollock video comes out. Not gonna lie, I used to not love your content because it did not feel relatable and felt kinda robotic with your dieting approaches. I still watched them and enjoyed them. But I LOVE your new changes and how vulnerable you are being, while still being scientific. Good job Abby!

[@jennifernunez3179]

I really like your advice to get nutrition right and then adding the fitness in gradually. It’s what I needed to hear right now. Going through exactly what you described. Planning to do easy walks with my three year old and not doing the treadmill workouts for a while.

Great video! I think it's important to note that everyone's body is different. I live a sedentary lifestyle as I'm behind a desk all day. When the majority of my workout was weight lifting, yes, I was gaining muscles but also fat because I wasn't burning enough calories. My balance is an equal amount of cardio and weight training for weight loss and not just weight training.

Not to be creepy or anything ;) just having gone through the changes associated with that surgery myself, I wanted to give you a quick shout out that you are looking awesome. I purchased one of your plans about 2 years ago (I think), and it’s still one of my favorite workout plans to go to. This video is persuading me to hop on this plan too. Thank you for your honesty and content. (Edited to include the following): As I kept watching and you got into your full workout, I feel compelled to tell you that of all the fitness people I follow on KZbin (and there are a lot), your content is always actually applicable. Meaning, you show exercises and form and give such great directions that you are one of the very few KZbin creators whose content I can actually apply in the gym without looking up other references for understanding form and purpose of the exercise. It is so helpful!

I gained 10lbs in self isolation and it shocked me into place, because even as a 6'2 trans guy 229 is too much, and I've deciding I'm losing weight. I cant calorie count because it leads to unhealthy habits for me, but I'm going pretty crazy on the cardio and training myself to eat intuitively. Less than a week in but I cant wait to keep watching this channel along the way. My goal is to lose 50lbs by next year but even losing 30 by then if that's what my body can handle I'll be skinnier than I've been in years

[@amygoeldner6346]

I neeeeeed to work on my NEAT. I feel like I should always be at my desk to look like I’m working 😓

[@kateamarlow]

I know you posted this a year ago so you've probably figured this out, but if anyone else out there is looking for suggestions: a bosu ball instead of a chair is the solution. Each bounce counts as one step (on every fitness tracking device I've ever owned!!), so when I'm on the phone or reading my monitor, I bounce away and it increases my NEAT. Or, petition for a standing desk. This is probably the most healthy option!!

I tell my clients that cardio is not optimal for fat loss. And the reason is because science shows that it really increases hunger. I suggest that they decrease food intake, increase NEAT, and weight training. NEAT is huge, and very underestimated.

NEAT... not eating a ton??

Rita Brito can you please give examples of NEAT ? Thank you

[@ritabrito5040]

Nawel Mehidi NEAT is what you do on a daily basis. Walking around, fidgeting, eating... everything that you do besides exercise.

[@tinakuczaj3958]

Rita Brito wow, that’s interesting. When I lift weights it increases my hunger significantly. But cardio seems to make me less hungry . I guess we are all different.

[@MsAlyssaMonique]

I just love you!! Your content, personality & lots more!

Hey Abby! I've been following your videos for a while, and I really like your mentality on not being too restrictive, or obsessive but cutting the BS at the same time. :D Could you show what a day in your life looks like, or what would you suggest for us with a 9-5, 8-4 whatever job? I'm especially thinking about office jobs, where you sit all day, but you still get mentally exhausted. Cause I feel like even when I get myself to go the gym all I want to do is power walk on a treadmill, listen to loud music and relieve stress so I make sure I won't go off on anyone that day. :"D But this would take like 1 hour, and it won't give me the best result... So how would you schedule, and what type of work out for when you are mentally exhausted, and how would you make that efficient?

[@shaynayeager1894]

Could you go to the gym before work? That's what I do and it helps my temperament with everyone haha

[@paige9874]

Hey 👋🏽 just wondering what tracker/app are you using for all of your analytics? Thanks for the video at 10:29

Needed this! Definitely helped reset my mindset with my current calorie intake!

[@isaibro]

Someone who actually sounds like she knows what she’s talking about. You’re awesome I subbed 😊

[@CoachNinu]

So you’re training hiit in the morning, weight in the afternoon and walks at nite? Every day ? Every day there is hiit and weights??

[@gotmikl3075]

If you're an athlete level fitness person, that's what everyone is doing. For instance lift and then run. Or lift and then hit the heavy bag for 45 minutes. If you're a beginner or even an an average person still losing weight, you won't be doing that much. But it's not a shocking level of activity (in my opinion). Don't let it discourage you though, once you get to that level, it's what you'll almost have to do to push your body since it'll be so fit. You will get there if you train hard.

[@shaheenh.4856]

As a unfit individual, I would be dead if I did that suddenly. But I’ve worked last two months trying to just stay consistent with being active to exercising regularly and then going to gym and now currently working on having to work on sets/reps and split. I could never walk continuously even at the beginning. And now I could go on treadmill continually even on 15% incline walking or 5km/h for good 20-30minutes. My bodyWeight? It’s been 3 months Still the same. Not discouraged. Just happy that I’m closer to becoming healthier rather than panting for the 500m I used to walk.

[@MsJassi13]

I never really u der stand how people have so much time 😅 do they not have to work?

[@strongeronplants]

I´m not a pro athlete and I definitely don´t do it EVERY DAY but 6 days out of a week I have 120+ active minutes, on good day 200+ and my rest day still include some sort of workout so I don´t go below 80 active minutes a day. After this, having 2 workout classes a day doesn´t seem that much, trust me.

[@coinlockerbaby9168]

@15 pounds in 30 days so, would cycling and doing a 15 minute ab workout everyday be good? (I change up the ab workouts)
