Nutrition Overview | Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Shred Training Program

[@thomashiggins5768]

Love reading the comments from people discrediting a guy whose got a doctorate in exercise physiology and a minor in bio chem. As well as working at John B. Pierce Lab and studied at Yale as well.

[@jonathano503]

Thomas Higgins That doesn’t matter. It’s a scientific fact that animal products are extremely unhealthy and if anything. They prevent you from making any gains at all

[@guilers]

o K so why is Jim and myself muscular

[@sugarlife485]

jim is great but he has done alot of drugs over the years thats why

[@everready2903]

8:20 If Greg Doucette gear's this he'll literally go ballistic!!!

[@BobbyKelsey]

Right 🤪

[@Abie4234]

The amount of nonsense comments below are staggering. It's sad because there are people who are truly trying to change their lives and are dedicating their lives to change their health for the better. To comment for the sake of badgering(or known as HATING) is the backbone of why there are so many people who seek for help and fail to get good info and end up having measly results; they fall victim to stupidity at its best with comments you see below. I am not saying you can't disagree or question someone's statement, but to comment without any proof to backup your challenge is justification of such harmful acts. You never judge a tree by the fruit it talks about, but rather by the fruit it bears, and but the looks of Jim's rep and clients, he is bearing tasty fruit and some of the people below... Not so much. Thanks for the great info Jim and helping to change people's lives!

[@jmzsil]

Abraham Ayala agree, many will have a paradigm that they refuse to allowed to be challenged. It’s sad really.

[@sugarlife485]

dont read the comments einstein..Just watch the vids

[@ACTHdan]

You meant the fruit it “gummy bears”

[@NaasirMaxamed-dc2wx]

At that time in 2011, I was still a child but now I am a beautiful man in the gym, thank you.

[@martinhristov4476]

Did the program a couple of years ago with nutrition, supplements and workout routines gained 30kg of lean muscle mass (70 to 100kg bw), benched 140kgs (up from 100kg) I was a beast, very lean and muscular, it works. I Thank god for Jim .

[@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC]

Glad I watched this. I've been doing the shred workout but not consuming nearly enough protein which explains why I've been so sore. I've been running in place between every set and skipping my usually 20 to 30 minute cardio afterwards and I can tell you shit is intense. Loving it so far now to try to follow the diet a little closer.

[@swervo1506]

First I just wanted to say, this program is truly one to follow, due to the fact Jim Stoppani gives a brief overview of proper nutrition and breaks down to it critically on the reasons why certains food are consumed for higher gain. In other words he backs up the science on it. The same with Ben Pakulski... But on the other hand, Kinobody.. I did Kinobody or (intermittent fasting), and I had such outstanding results the first month, I shredded fat and lost so much body fat, alrhough, after trying to get back to my daiky eating, my metabolism plumetted, and everything I eat was completely stored as energy and fat. This happened because when the body senses it's starving after a period of time it goes into a "famine" state and stores everything you eat.. But anyway, just saying, DO NOT DO INTERMITTENT FASTING, and stick to programs like these that truky give the science behind it.

[@GEOLonghorn]

I am in a caloric deficit, and I do lose weight steadily. What I meant was that when I am eating too many carbs, all of my weight loss appears to be from muscle loss. Right now 30/35/35 carbs/protein/fat ratio is working quite well. Still gaining muscle while burning fat. I will definitely look into the "lean gains approach" that you mentioned

[@connorh2457]

This is why I love to watch Jim cause he knows what he is talking about and he has proof to back it up. Everyone is on the bro science train I don't get it.

[@appa37168]

have to love Jim and this video. been building for two years and this is an amazing explanation of diets.

[@amtv2855]

Best man on earth.Hes the one who uses proper science and who helped me lose 44 pounds in 12 weeks

[@TejenderPrasad]

Jim Stoppani is the real OG in the fitness industry :D

[@lanaciondelhiphoplatino9159]

i did this a while ago and i was beast... stopped working out for a bit...back at it tonight... shit is the shit

[@pamborders667]

Love you tips Jim since incorporating them and your prejym and protein powder I’ve had even more results!! TY SO MUCH!!

[@victore8342]

Legendary, much respect for the doc

[@GreatBritishGamers]

This guy is awesome, some seriously good knowledge within this video!

[@jonathano503]

GreatBritishGamers Actually this video is one way ticket to death. I’m pretty sure you’ll get cancer before you make any gains with this program.

[@redbrick341]

How about an explanation of why we should eat lean meat even though fat is the second most important macronutrient?

[@dswprint6379]

This is the Best Nutritional Video that I have ever come across on KZbin... I just have one question...What should I do when I finish my 6 Week Challenge... Do i rotate the Carbs back to 1.5 then 1 then 0.5 or should I just stick to 0.5 of Carbs?

[@ronzaarraf]

i dunno if he answered this cuz i didnt get if u drop ur carbs intake to 0.5 per 1 LBS.. is that amount enough to fuel up ur muscles n save the muscle from the great need of ur body to consume the protein in ur muscle to break it into glucose for energy, thats so much info in 1 video ,, this guy got a point n makes sense

[@Sandragonzalez-mw1yz]

Adding this program to my July routine and meal plan , excited can’t wait to try it thank you .im a huge fan of ur vids 😍

[@desperadoexodus]

Hey lads, am currently on Week 3 of Jim Stoppani's shortcut to Shred. Jeez ! It's so intense, got 3 more weeks to go, Erm, gotta see how this turns out. Thanks for everything Jim, Excellent information on nutrition. Too bad, very few people check nutritional and supplementation videos !

[@Exodous26]

Brett, your body weight is a function of calories. You are most likely in a caloric neutral state if you aren't losing weight. Cutting back carbs will reduce calories because in the typical "healthy" diet for most Americans, the majority of calories come from carbs. Those who don't eat as "healthy" probably split the majority of their calories between carbs and fats. Carb timing is also incredibly important for body composition. I don't want any carbs pre-workout...but I want a TON post workout.

[@Exodous26]

What you probably want is a good calorie cycling strategy with no cardio. You lift 5 days a week, rest 2 days and go low calorie/low carb on those days. Adjust your total caloric intake for the week based upon your weight loss/weight gain goals. You throw in intermittent fasting (specifically the leangains approach) and you'll get the best results of your life.

[@harshman121092]

The most important use of science in bodybuilding is the scientific process, which can be used, very effectively, to figure out what works best for your body to help you reach your goals. This goes for training and nutrition.

[@rubenvargas3547]

Jim you Rock! Thank you so much for your knowledge and Expertise

[@michaelureadi2884]

Thanks for sharing these amazing videos Dr Stoppani..They worked for me...Great knowledge and insight..Keep up the good work and bypass all your detractors...

[@gilgil1989]

holy shit! I've been doing most of the diet without knowing the facts in the video, and yes I have been getting lean muscle mass like crazy...

[@beargrylls3]

Yeah that's my biggest question. I notice I make more gains on high protein diets, but I'm kind of worried about the heath effects of so much protein.

[@andod007]

I did this program 3 years ago and was shredded to the bone. Stopped working out due to my job :( and got fat but I am starting it again. See you all on the beach!

[@derekwestbrook9383]

it's been 3 years howd it go

[@Exodous26]

Replenishing muscle glycogen isn't just about getting energy back for the next workout...replenishing that muscle glycogen quickly through carbohydrate ingestion aids in muscle recovery (growth). Glad you mentioned insulin...but don't think you went far enough to explain this anabolic hormone. Most people have no idea that when you spike insulin, you can't burn fat.

[@g2g144]

It kinda does matter. Consider the following: a man trains early in the morning. When he wakes up, his glycogen levels are fairly low, so before he works out he gets some carbs and protein in him. Then post workout, they're low again so he eats more carbs (protein is eaten with each meal). Unless he's planning to go to the gym twice, he doesn't need to replenish his glycogen stores until the next day, so the best bet would be to consume protein and fat for the rest of the day (plenty of veggies)

[@chetanv2007]

Very thorough and well explained Jim !!

[@GEOLonghorn]

Agreed. I can't cut fat unless my carb intake is under 150g per day, I weigh 215 lbs. No matter what I do, if I go over 150 g carbs I start to store fat. I can increase cardio, but I end up losing muscle while gaining fat.

[@brianwooden823]

I like how all the food is just being needlessly blowtorched

[@dannyjingu]

I agree with almost all of what he says except for the post workout sugar/glucose intake. EVERY TIME I have done this, I have felt dizzy and nauseaus, as opposed to eating bread and white potatoes with meat

[@aaronf.186]

They overdid it with the science lab theme...eggs in petri dishes, retro ekg monitor...c'mon. Just say you're in the business of selling supplements.

[@BasedDad35]

Aaron F Well you are just ignorant or not very bright. Any dumbfuck can "sell supplements" but if you were paying attention you would know Stopanni is a legitimate PhD. His workout, diet and supplement programs are actually backed by years of research which was conducted IN A LAB similar to the one in the video. Stopanni has dedicated the last 20 years to the research and actual science behind building muscle and losing fat.

[@AP77707]

Aaron F so true and nothing's backed by evidence, even if it worked this would be terrible for your health overall

[@djhopesoulinsideyou]

The best video I've ever seen describing everything with good point

[@jonathano503]

djhopesoulinsideyou This is actually the most misinformed video I have ever seen. You’ll die of a heart attack before you even make any gains with this program.

[@hibernatorawake]

Five years on- this video is still relevant and useful as ever. Thanks Jim!

[@Body-buildin]

Great video! Practically the basic principles of "clean eating" also known as "bro foods"

[@t.thomas6967]

Good info, but seem like a supplement pitch. He says that milk protein is the best and sites whey and casein as the best proteins. When discussing fats he says omega 3 is the best. Which is a common in fish oil supplements

[@ROJMUSIK]

Who else took notes FTW! Great info ! Thanks for this video really got in depth with macro nutrients and Basic things a newbie needs to know lol

[@jonathano503]

ricardo ochoa This is actually the most misinformed video I have ever seen. You’ll die of a heart attack before you even make any gains with this program.

[@Mypreworkoutiswiskey]

I looked it up and found a few studies that found that meal timing did affect weight loss. So I'm confused now. Why is everybody saying it doesn't matter? Can you give me a link or a name of a study?

[@GEOLonghorn]

Everyone knows when cutting you lose muscle mass. The goal is to try to preserve as much as you can. For my particular body type, I think what happens is this; more carbs means less fat intake, as I try to get about 1g/lb protein. These extra carbs spike insulin, thus leading to excess fat storage. So when I cut carbs back more and replace with fat (or more protein) my body reacts better, less fat/more muscle. But everyone is different

[@iradhill81]

As a doctor i agree with everything you’ve said until you mentioned that carbs are bot essential to the body. The brain only runs on carbs. Sure you can convert fat to glucose but still it proves that the body needs carbs.

[@DavidLee-fy7rd]

Excellent video as always.

[@jerky10000]

I'm also a heart patient. I had quadruple bypass surgery over 2 years ago. Should do a little cholesterol?

[@thesporty323]

this is the best nutrition i have seen!!!

[@shevb]

This man knows his shit, brilliant video

[@Leadership_matters]

Not knocking his knowledge but I have worked in a few labs doing research in plant pathology, nematology, and helminthology. No lab looks like that. That being said, great info.

[@marceloddd]

It is a weighted hip-thrust, and abs exercise.

[@juliankusch6931]

Nice program, but it doesn't say something about the required deficit in week 2-3 and 4-6. I am doing another sport and need to adapt my macros in order to have the same deficit. Does anybody know how many calories below your activ metabolic rate jym recommends in these phases?

[@jerky10000]

1 question can you guide me on good nutrition to build lean muscle with heart disease?

[@bariamo999]

I just changed up all my macros for this. It better work !!!!

[@msroxiee1]

I'm ready to start this.

[@nonofyourbussines100]

alll this stuff for free I salute this guy

[@jorgesanders7521]

this guy knows what he is talking about people doing stupid comments just show how ignorant they are, if you have done your homework and been training for a considerable amount of time and did some reserach you will find that everything makes sense in this video!

[@GEOLonghorn]

The reason for the gummy bears is they're basically pure maltodextrin. Carb powder is pure maltodextrin. So it's theoretically effective in replenishing glycogen, but obviously too much will cause fat storage

[@davide.4258]

muscles are about 80% water. where do you get your water from brah?

[@juanperales462]

So if I weigh 200lbs I should be consuming 200gs of protein a day?

[@vals9838]

300 grams for max gains D:

[@Mypreworkoutiswiskey]

I agree. I'm asking for said journal articles.

[@Exodous26]

Interesting. As long as you are putting enough load on muscles, ingesting enough protein, and getting enough recovery/sleep, the majority of your weight loss is not likely muscle, unless your macronutrient timing is bad (not enough protein/carbs in optimal post workout window). Now, when you lose weight quickly, it is typical to lose both fat and muscle, simply due to the caloric deficit. However, I don't see any realistic scenario where eating too many carbs causes you to lose more muscle.

[@jameshenerey6863]

So many Spam comment you can't even find good information from people who have tried this work out program it's ridiculous

[@seanblackwood2816]

Why does he have to blow torch everything???

[@NightRanger77]

***** Hell yeah! That PhD in the Brosciences!

[@TheRev1269]

That's actually called a bomb calorimeter and it measures the caloric content of food

[@6789uiop]

+Sean Blackwood ... Doing that chars, which causes cancer. My Broscintist alarm went off right there.

[@TheRev1269]

billytheweasel You dont eat it after that lol

[@jmzsil]

billytheweasel it’s just testing the foods for documentation. That would be nasty! 🤔

[@jerky10000]

Jim I'm a type 2 diabetic. How do get muscle growth with lower carb consuming?

[@Cenkocak]

I was in a doubt that eating gummy bears post workout but this video cleared up my doubtes thanksssss.

[@twinturbo3461]

This is awesome useful information, I'll be checking out Jim Stoppani's website.

[@kjcisgod123]

This is a really good helpful video thank you

[@jmzsil]

Dr. Jim, what is your take on bison, buffalo, elk, and deer?

[@vinylplayer7427]

I’m on the first day!! How can you eat all this food.? I couldn’t do it today. I’m sooo full and I didn’t get in my snacks today.

[@gonzalosaucedo6558]

im 180 pounds doing 270g on protein 100g carbs and 90 fat. Ive been doing the diet for about two weeks and i really feel like I'm getting fat. Am i doing something wrong?

[@leostar18]

I started this program yesterday, can't wait for tonight's workout session.

[@zaid-je5es]

Where i can find your video for this course? thank you

[@pookiewood]

DANG! AWESOME VIDEO Thanks! I need to figure out my macros needs.

[@arungowda7946]

Awesome love this true 💯

[@Winston0Boogie]

How many calories do you have to eat? I have the pdf guide and I can only find how much protein, carbs and fat I should eat but how many calories? Anybody have an idea as to how many calories I should eat?

[@jasonguthrie6083]

So yolks are better than egg whites to build muscle?

[@joifulnoyze]

Is there a certain carb to protein ratio that should be followed for the post workout pixy sticks and whey/casein protein? The sample menu is for a 3000 calorie diet and because not all protein powder is the same, I don't want to make my own assumption. Thanks!

[@badger456]

fantastic information!

[@JulieTRiley-ot7ou]

In two month later on, you certainly could gain 10 lbs in muscle mass & lose 5 To 10 lbs in body fat. All you need is an effective workout plan, right nutrition plan & start now.

[@JulieTRiley-ot7ou]

You can discover the proven workout & nutrition plan right here, take action now: bit.ly/proven-muscle-building-plan

[@rickolag2344]

Thanks for the info. But shouldnt these whey products have natural sugar cane, instead of ascelfume potassium? Wouldnt a mix of stevia and cane sugar be a good substitute for gummi bears/pixie sticks?

[@rickolag2344]

Granted you can find some relatively wholesome gummis at whole foods, it's a bit expensive.

[@ebentauren]

1 - Fructose molecules directly goes to liver and liver converts them to glucose to only replenish it's own glycogen stores, not for the muscle cells. The exess amount of fructose is converted into triglycerides and stored as fat in the adipose tissue. 2 - Since the sucrose is a combination of 1 molecule of fructose and 1 molecule of glucose, gummy bears that has 21 grams of sucrose in 40 grams of its serving, do not sound to be a pure glucose source, right Jim? Scientist, eh, don't think so.

[@alisonzammit4100]

I’m having trouble with calculating how many calories I need. Using his plan I worked out that I need 1980 calories in phase 1.. I find this to be little high for me. I’m 54kg 164cm and I usually eat in the range of 1200-1500 when dieting. Am I missing something?

[@rexcorso7122]

Uhh is dietary fiber a carb technically? That's required for this type of diet for sure.

[@mirasga]

which would you prefer? clean high-protein diet or Big Macs and supersized fries and cola?

[@williebeaminiv1928]

Great video

[@sugarlife485]

I FUCKIN LOVE YOUR APARTMENT

[@whatryouthinking]

Also are bananas a high glacemic good to take post workout instead of gummie bears

[@ronzaarraf]

yea its sort of a lab that measures the amount of energy in food and by the way it burns he can know what that food mostly made of ,, n then he works out the physiology thing according to each kind of food

[@estebansalazar3585]

i am going to buy sum fucken gummy bears right fucken NOW

[@shamund]

Great and informative video man. I enjoyed it. But those gummy bears didn't stand a chance lol. Why torch the little gummy bears? lmbo. hilarious.

[@KishanKishan-wm4ri]

lots of info and knowledge

[@max_fjellstorm]

How much carbs on a refeed day / high carb day?

[@Hibrnaldo]

its a shame this video only came out now ...

[@MrLagvag]

why is evryone hating on him? he seems like good guy

[@ishaq1832]

What is pre and post workout meals????

[@georgeyod286]

Is it ok to adjust the macros during week 4-6 of your shortcut to shred program? I know you suggested 1.5 g p,.5 g f,.5g c. For me that's a total of 2238 calories, before it was 2581 calories during week 2-3. If I adjust my macros but still add up to 2238 cals, would it jeopardize program? For instance I change the carb intake from .5 g to 1 g?

[@cyanide2001]

Wow i have no idea about the high glycogen part after an post - workout i been doing just an banana and whey post all the time and wondering the next day why i feel weak and dizzy lack of high glycogen haribo gummy bears here i come =D only a few tho! WOOOT

[@marceloddd]

It is a weighted hip-thrust

[@GEOLonghorn]

Perhaps when I have higher carb intake/lower fat intake, hormones are the reason for breaking down muscle instead of fat while in a caloric deficit...i.e. lower testosterone levels

[@docoftheworld]

can anyone provide citations regarding the postworkout advice to consume refined sugars?! I found it surprising. I eat a banana after workout followed by my eggwhites and black beans breakfast (within 60 minutes of finishing workout). any comments on Jim's advice around ~14:00

[@abdulalsoub7333]

docoftheworld To be honest, I wasn't sure about the sugars after the workouts. I've never really had a food like gummy bears for post workout sugars, but it look interesting. Not sure I'm going to try it though,

[@TheRev1269]

docoftheworld Its not about eating refined sugars, quite the opposite actually. He only recommends a certain brand of gummy bears because they are made almost entirely of dextrose, which is basically pure glucose. The opposite of being refined. There's no need for the liver to process it, causing a relatively large insulin spike which is good with protein after workout.

[@docoftheworld]

***** Thanks for your comment. Are you aware of any research papers on this subject? Theoretically, the idea sounds good.

[@TheRev1269]

docoftheworld No I'm not, but its an extremely common practice in the bodybuilding world. I trust it

[@marlandostewart3823]

what size weights? doing 9-11 set.. heavy or light?
