[@steadystackin7250]

People talk down on restricting and cutting out certain foods, but the reality is that many things we call "food" should not even be in existence and we should have never been eating them in the first place. Replacing highly processed / foods with many additives with whole foods is the key.

[@chasetheworm3464]

Facts!!!

[@etf42]

agreed

[@djlowtek]

I mean, you're not wrong about the crap that's sold as "food", but that's sort of off topic for this vid. It's great to eat clean, yes, but you can get fat on pretty much any food. Junk or not. Healthy and helpful, yes, but not the cure for obesity/gaining weight.

[@luism8130]

Thats true but its still Calories in vs Calories out. Regardless of what you are eating.

[@AshilaqC-he3fj]

Eventually we get to the next chapter in the game where we realize we put the wrong things in our body and once we start putting the right things we overfeed ourselves...calorie restriction is a thing for a reason...you can gain weight on a vegan diet

[@brittanysapology9528]

I truly believe that obesity has an extremely demonic principality behind it that’s hovers above the USA. Our portion sizes, our fast food options, our lifestyle…all deeply embedded in our culture making us fat and sick. And it’s one of the most difficult things to overcome. I had to pray and fast earlier this year because I have not been able to keep my weight under control. Only through intense fasting and prayer was I able to break the stronghold of sugar and by the grace of God, I’ve been able to maintain a sugar free diet since the summer.

[@calvinjohnson2145]

Praying and fasting is the only way to fix ourselves I lost the most weight when I fasted.

[@darcelgd24]

I'm on a 21 day fast and prayer journey now. Needed to unshackle those food addiction demons

[@tessaderr2040]

You are so on point with this. Last January I prayed and fasted. Ask God for help in my journey. I went from 230 to 185. Then I got shot and to be honest I was upset with God. Since then I've gained it all back. Im currently back fasting and mending our relationship and down to 214 and counting 🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@drzpapi413]

I've lost 100lbs + 5 times in my life. 5 times gained it back and then sum. My last weight gain was over 160lbs. My blood pressure got so out of control that I was prone to having a stroke any minute. I said enough was enough. I got Gastric Sleeve Surgery. The best decision I've ever made in my life. I no longer care about food, crave foods, care to overeat, and most importantly, I cannot overeat like i used to before. I follow a high protein, high fiber diet, (same diet I've lost weight with before) and I'm good. Losing weight naturally leaves you competing against ghrelin and leptin; will power can be used to combat it but a couple rough nights of sleep, something bad happens, will power goes out the door and you're back to gaining again. Good luck everyone.

[@WorldsOkayestSorcerer]

I once lost 70 lbs very quickly and easily. I was in perfect health. But, the kicker was I didn’t realize what I was doing was unsustainable. I was working out 2 hours a day, five days a week, zero carbs, hardcore diet and workout. Gained back all 70 over 2 years when I slowed down. Recently, I realized some things about myself and that whatever you do, the key is that it’s sustainable with your lifestyle. So, I made the choice to limit sugars and ultra processed carbohydrates, as well as food-like objects. My exercise will mainly be what I get through the day, plus extra when I can fit it in. I’m down 23 lbs and my diet hasn’t changed much: I eat potatoes and other Whole Foods. But, I stay away from the things I KNOW I’m addicted to (sugar, sweets, etc). If it’s sweet, it’s fruit. No honey buns or gallons of ice cream in the freezer. Because, I know one bite will fire up my addiction again and I’ll be right back where I was. In my mind, sugar is oxycodone and I’m just trying to stay clean.

[@victoireusher785]

I'm exactly the same. as long as I stay away from sugar and processed foods, I can maintain well.

[@gizmo22ist]

Woooooo, "sugar is like oxycodone" bro that is deep and so so true!

[@4nickdarealone580]

I salute and big ups to your journey

[@StephanLamar81]

It’s tough. I started at 406 in 2018, got down to 276. Currently back up to 323. It’s all mental. Giving myself 1 cheat meal per week & not buying junk food (potato chips) so I dont have easy access to it seems to work for me.

[@BrixFitness]

Your journey speaks volumes about the challenges of weight management. It's incredible that you've made progress before, and recognizing the mental aspect is a big step. Your strategy of one cheat meal and avoiding easy access to junk food is smart. Remember, progress is a journey, and you're on the right path. Keep pushing, and let me know if you ever need advice or support!

[@SLouiss]

It’s tough to maintain. Going from gaining to losing, it takes a real change of mindset and education to be able to maintain.

[@khairuddinsaid4060]

Which is my biggest fear should I achieve the goal of being lean, I meannnnn......... Even if I already achieved the ideal body weight, will I ever fall back to bad eating habits, unable to actively move, etc? How can I stay lean for many years to come? What's the point of staying lean if I can't even keep my good habits? I'm always overthinking about the consequences that I will take once I achieve body weight goals, the fear of falling down to old and bad habits that could gain weight back is great. The fear of failure in maintaining the body habit is also great. It's exhausting 😢😢😢

[@BrixFitness]

Maintaining progress is indeed a journey that involves a shift in mindset and continuous education. Your awareness of these factors is key to long-term success. Keep up the positive efforts!

[@antwilsonwilson]

I lost 70lbs in 5 months by not drinking alcohol, raising the incline up on the treadmill. And walking between 3.2/3.6 for a hour and half.

[@michelle04258]

Loving yourself is critical. How you treat your body lets you know if you love yourself or not. The way I treat my body now compared to how I treated it before helped me realize that I did not love myself. I did not value my health as much as I valued the taste of food. Hyper palatable food was all that was acceptable to me. Now I don't want it. My mindset shifted completely. A food does not have to please my tongue. That is not why I eat food. Food is for energy and sustenance and health. I value feeling good over everything else. If a food has the potential to compromise my health then I don't want it. I was a food addict and I am over it now! Whatever shift that needed to occur in my mind, it occurred and I thank God it did because I don't struggle with food anymore.

I have that battle in the grocery store but I’m working on my thinking and seeing a therapist. I’ve lost down to 230 and I’m 6’2 I was about 30 lbs to my goal but I did it all on will power and gained it all back. I’m at 280 now and going down consistent and thinking permanently on how I relate with food. Good job on IF👍

[@OPDNETWORK]

Five years ago, I made the decision to stop eating meat, and it made me feel amazing. However, I found myself consuming more carbs and other foods to feel full, which I later realized was a mistake. Dairy also had a negative impact on my body, causing sinus congestion, drowsiness, and excess mucus. This realization led to an epiphany, prompting me to completely give up meat, and I haven't looked back since. I have come to understand that there are certain chemicals in milk and dairy products that trigger a desire to consume more, making it extremely challenging to resist. As a result, I have made the decision to distance myself from these products. While I don't identify as a strict vegan, I am committed to consuming whole foods, preparing my own meals, and practicing intermittent fasting. This new journey has proven to be one of the most difficult challenges I have ever faced.

[@EE-bg1de]

26:34 - So i remember doing some research in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and something about a part of your brain you can call the "Impartial Inspector". We are not our thoughts. We have thoughts. That Impartial Inspector allows us to stop, and look at the thoughts or emotions and place them in the proper context. "I'm having the feeling of being sad." Hmm. I push it aside, i smile, and immediately think about what i'm thankful for. "I'm having the thought i'm worthless." Where did this thought come from? One therapist mentioned you can even imagine yourself saying it in a funny voice...."I'm having the thought i'm a loser! in a silly voice." It helps to dispel the negativity behind it. Learning to control your thinking and emotions i'm finding is critical to loving yourself. I find also when i get some negative thoughts, i immediately think about a flame in my mind and pouring water on it, then stepping on it. I need to put out that fire immediately before it consumes me and pivot to something else.

Now I’m walking around at 220 deciding weather or not I should go back and do IF again or just eat normally and track my calories. Also I lost that weight without going to the gym. My job is very physical and at the time I lost the weight I went in for a lot of overtime I worked 6 days a week for 4 months and ate OMAD. How I gained it all back.. well I started working a lot less and eating alot more. Simple 😂

7:08 I love this so much ! I too want to shift to a mindset of “I want to lose weight because I love myself” I also will work on telling myself that I deserve a healthy body and I deserve to treat my body with love and care ❤

Glad you enjoyed it!

Powerful talk!

[@nomaddictart2886]

The advice of getting used to existing in that in between moment instead of in the trigger or the action really hit me. I've learned how to control my eating but I'm working on smoking ciggs which is proving to be very difficult for me. I think this advice on mindfulness will help.

Ton of value in this

Brix your amazing bro

[@Salena_salena]

I lost 24 lbs and gained it back to emotional triggers. I restricted stopped smoking and drinking and then got triggered. Relapsed and old habits came back. I weighed myself yesterday and my jaw dropped. I’m back where I was. I gotta lock back in.

Hmmm .. Valuing looking good over feeling good !! That was my case too 😪. I was influenced by the gram more than anything else . It’s a constant battle !

Female here I m down 200 & maintaining naturally for 13 years I first lost 50-70 pounds 130 etc at least 5 times before it finally clicked. My metabolism is somewhat jacked it’s a real fight I would like to lose the last 25-30 but I’m also happy I’ve been able to keep this weight. Fat cells always want to refill in my opinion. Truth is there is no finish line…thank you for posting this

[@BrixFitness]

Congrats on your weight loss journey! Your resilience is commendable. It's a continuous process, and you're doing amazing. Keep thriving! 👏🏾

Been there, done that. Back to square one again.

[@MoneyTimeSebastiann]

I'm definitely addicted to binge eating at night time.

[@VonDonP]

Did the other dude get a word in?!😂

[@rachellebrown9830]

He said this was not an interview, but a public consultation. It's in the pinned comment.

[@mgnradio2011]

Exactly annoying

[@MikeJones-tc4mw]

Damn man, going through something similar lost 105 lbs gained it back 2yds depression and laziness, poor behaviors. Been back on on my journey for a month 18lbs down gym and clean eating 🙏🏾

[@justjanies]

I'm a eating recovery therapist counseling can really help the processes

[@thedream5081]

Great convo

[@BrixFitness]

🙌🏾

[@TheRoamer78]

I lost 20 pound and gained 28 of it all back now I’m back at losing it again. I got too complacent after I lost the weight. Always need to challenge the body.

[@BrixFitness]

Just keep pushing!

[@GassTeamOfficial]

Same boat for me rn. Went from 330 to around 250. Then I got into my Junior year of college and let myself slip. Now, five years later, I’m restarting from 364. I’m the biggest I’ve ever been

[@everett8610]

This is good stuff

[@grounded4845]

Would of liked to hear him tell his story rather than a coaching session?? Anyway word of advice don't tire yourself out with the training because we consume more sugar when we're tired. And sugar is very dangerous. I can see your more than ready to lose the weight bro. Good luck❤

[@PedroTawa]

Great video!

[@Callmekoffie]

I found value in this video, thank you

[@BrixFitness]

Glad it reached you!

[@jamesmacdaid624]

Obese myself, on my own journey to lose weight, and props to this guy discussing his struggles. IMHO, and this is how I've seen the weight come off quicker than usual, was dealing with the overconsumption of unnecessary food / drink (energy). Now, how you do that, is debatable, and harder for some, especially if you have addictive tendencies for whatever reasons, but I think emphasis should be on your consumption, rather than your exercise. The ease of consuming too much, even "healthy" options, makes exercise (usually) as an insufficient answer. The time and effort needed to deal with too many calories is much more time consuming and, for many, difficult to address through the necessary exercise / energy expenditure. Obviously, good diet and exercise is the dream, but, I think it's the ease (and joy) of unnecessary consumption that is the crux of my (and many others) downfall.

[@juiceyjuice169]

Bro wtf that exactly what happened to me you lose the weight to start looking good then you lose track and sight how you got there and all the weight creeps right back consistency and discipline is the key to weight loss I hate starting from square one but that’s what happens when you lose focus or Celebrate too early.

[@sayiddahbey4718]

Thank you for sharing

[@XmeimeisworldX]

I did this before! 16-18 I lost 100lbs and gained it all back because I didn’t understand that it was a lifestyle change and not to go back to eating like I was before - Now I’ve lost 154lbs in 22 months and happier than ever! Walk avg 20’000 steps 5x a week and keep mainly to a wholefoods diet.

[@BrixFitness]

You got this, Mei!
