How to: Get Huge & Stay Lean (easier than you think!)

[@CozyCars]

Everyone take advantage of the free advice fouad gives us. Trainers charge hundreds of dollars when the content is here free! Love it dude thank you!

[@ActionZach]

Yes! Being so new to lifting at 32 years old, his videos and information is helping me greatly!

[@JuicedMoose]

Trainers charge to buils these diets for you and find your starting point

[@tdmallet]

Adrian lol, perfectly put. Totally true.

[@CozyCars]

JuicedMoose watch fouads videos. He shows you what to eat, how to mix it up and more. I would never pay someone to tell me what to eat when the internet has this information!

[@ActionZach]

Eric Sanchez awesome advice! Your the second person to tell me that. Stuck the basics, and I will grow. Thanks for the advice, I will definitely take this to heart.

[@sovereignbeef]

Bro. This is an extremely well made video. You should be proud of the content you’re releasing. It gets better and better.

[@FouadAbiad]

Thank you man. I am proud when people say its helping them learn.

[@utubebrowseupload]

this. Very educational and practial information.

[@timas2791]

It's a shame the amount of views this dude gets with only 109k subs. He should be over a million by now.

[@FouadAbiad]

@@timas2791 I only started focusing on my YT channel in February. I think the channel has grown significantly in under a year and as long as I stay focused it will continue to grow. That being said, thank you for your kind words, I hope to hit a million subscribers one day.

[@stephenmayer7766]

Eddie 100% brah. Excellent video. You are one cool dude Fouad!

[@sydsyd6560]

This is the best video on carb cycling. no gimmickery , no trying too hard, no odd camera angles, just SOLID useful , precise , practical info that makes sense, Thank You!

[@LifeOfBurhan]

I've dropped from 320lbs to 250lbs doing Keto but I've gotten to an absolute miserable state lmao. I feel at that low level for a long time. This video has really opened my eyes on how to regulate my carb cycling. Thanks Fouad, you're the best 💯 Edit: it’s 2021 and I’ve gotten well past the 100lb mark and I feel a lot better following Fouad’s advice. 💯💯💯💯

[@ronysfitnesshub4181]

Keto works only for a shorter time, doesn't help you in the long run. FAD diets are always a nice marketing tool for the fitness industry. Carb cycling or low carbs do work.

[@michaelclifton2436]

[@ibrahimzamil6986]

I was looking for carb cycling everyone was talking about .finally you explained it thoroughly ..Thank you so much Fouad

[@lilguillotine]

Impressed by how you broke this down, super digestible unlike anywhere else they talk about glycogen and carb cycling. Thanks!

[@MrJeff-fn1xy]

This is exactly what I needed - proven meal intake info from a professional. No BS, just real talk and explained very well. Making adjustments on my meals now. Thank you Hoss!!!

[@vertigo1396]

Once again Fouad Abiad brings his no nonsense approach to the masses. Content is delivered in a cogent manner all the while staying relevant to training principles utilized by the pros. Thank you sir for your insight and generous contribution to us mere mortals.

On par with a john meadows video in terms of knowledge and honesty 👍💪 Respect big guy

[@FouadAbiad]

Thats a huge compliment!

[@barrykitchen8200]

I was going to say the same. Everything is always clear and concise . Never ended a video saying to myself " I don't get it " or " I'm more confused"

[@ಆದರ್ಶಫಿಟ್]

Thanks for making videos

[@Supernaturalman92]

[@K.Stroh_]

The best explanation of glycogen in the muscles I’ve ever seen. So well done Fouad!

[@TheFunctionalFitDad]

When he said spilling over my brain was like 💡

[@stefancvetkoski5743]

Man you look and talk so kindly i wanna stay on this channel forever

[@gamwpanagia]

This is the most comprehensive video on staying lean i've ever watched

[@nicholaslanghorne4257]

This video is pure gold if you were wondering dawgs

[@jessiedivincenzo5215]

Good stuff. I will definitely implement this. I do it wrong when I bulk... keep upping the carbs until I spill over. First couple weeks I'm filling out daily, then it goes south and I start looking softer over time and eventually get off the bulk. This is more intelligent bulking. I've always thought that the dieting a bodybuilder does before shows plays to their favor over time as they are constantly keeping the body guessing vs just bulking all the time which forces you to do so much cardio to keep the six pack.

[@gregorynelson6230]

You're probably still insulin resistant to some degree, so carb cycling would likely work well for you. Better insulin sensitivity means everything from better workouts and better energy levels to better recovery. Some guys can slam 500+ grams a day, day in/day out, while the rest of us have to moderate if we want to be at our best. Carb cycling is the way to go for we guys who are fat boys, genetically.

[@jimhankard2045]

The best explained video for people who start with bodybuilding and nutrition. In this way it is clear that with bulking your carbohydrates should not always be high as most people think. Keep it up I'm a fan 🇧🇪

[@BOGDAN_BJJ]

That was the fastest click on notifications. Bring it on big man!

[@fanyatandu2255]

[@ricardovasquez3205]

Appreciate you breaking this down Hoss. Keep the lessons coming.

[@stoph8n24]

You are the 🐐 for this, I think when people watch shows or interviews, they don't understand the "spilling over" or "flat" terminology.

[@gregorynelson6230]

You and Meadows really taking it to the next level with the quality content. Some of the best videos on KZbin.

[@FouadAbiad]

Gregory Nelson thank you

[@vincentandrea7796]

This channel is slowly evolving into the same quality of content as John Meadows. By far the two best “bodybuilding” content on KZbin. Between these informational videos, the podcasts with guests, and the hysterical ones with Luke, this channel has it all.

[@FouadAbiad]

Vincent Andrea thanks for that! John is almost like a mentor to me so that means a lot!

[@evilmozaktv8862]

I'm no bodybuilder I'm a shoot wrestler and arm wrestler. Nobody ever explained carb cycling better , but who else is going to know this shit better then a bodybuilder.

[@dogbobson7016]

I appreciate your no bullshit approach my man. Been slowly dragging through your videos, no product whoring to be seen, just sound advice. Respect.

Really appreciated this breakdown! Thanks for clarity on how to lean bulk.

[@jimmy2tones]

his resistance band videos are the best online . everybody should watch them.

[@kuhen25]

This is extremely helpful and provides lots of knowledge, bro. May I know if you have a good measurement to use to know how much carbs to take based on your body weight?

[@Cartiyae]

He usually says 2-3 grams per lbs of bodyweight but he says when he eats 3g/lbs he feels watery

[@mattb2955]

You being a very direct person paired with your passion for bodybuilding makes you a great teacher hoss.

[@FouadAbiad]

matt boesen thank you!

[@denniscraig2027]

I need to up my carbs. Getting too lean no energy no strenght.

[@malikking4291]

This man is very generous with his knowledge and experience.

[@vtg1632]

Quick question: I'm slightly familiar with this analysis on carb cycling, but wanted to know your thoughts on those that go the extra step of ensuring that 50-75% (or a significant portion) of their carb intake is around the time of day for their weight training session. For example, I carb cycle but ensure that almost all of my carb intake is immediately before and after I go to the gym, which helps me stay really lean while keeping my carb sensitivity in check.

[@FouadAbiad]

V TG I think that is a great practice and something I’ve done for the last 5 or more years since working with John Meadows

[@JuicedMoose]

I find for maintenance (im old man) i only eat carbs after gym and maybe 3 oreo cookies before bed for sugar cravings.

[@mikes.8087]

If you workout early in the morning, let’s say 6am, how would you go about doing this? Would you plan to have the majority of your carbs right before bed and after the workout?

[@JuicedMoose]

@@mikes.8087 to me that makes most sense. Your glycogen stores are full ehen you wake up ready to burn.

[@vtg1632]

@@mikes.8087 Hey Mike. I believe some people who train do this (eat before bed and after waking up the next morning, complete a training session), but I don't at all. First of all, I'm healthy and am a weightlifter, but am average: a lot of carbs for someone of my stature (6 foot even 205 pounds when bulking, 185-190 when lean, 190-200 regular) is around 150-200 carbs per day. When I'm bulking I'll just eat about 1 cup of oatmeal before working out at 6:00 a.m. (54 grams of carbs) another cup after working out (another 54 grams of carbs) and about 50-75 grams of carbs before noon (I try not to consume carbs after 12; I am carb sensitive so this regimen works well for me). Moral of the story - run an experiment on yourself based on what you come across and study, analyze the results, and keep it going.

[@sanjaykrishna3149]

What’s special about this is that it can be used by everyone, not just bodybuilders. Great advise!

[@FouadAbiad]

Sanjay Krishna it definitely can

[@ricovskiiai]

Fouad you're a legend. I've been wanting to get back into shape and healthier overall for some time now. I got demotivated and lazy and have spent a considerable amount of time wasted trying to research ways of creating a diet, trying to stick to it ,giving up and trying again over and over but in the last few days of watching your informative videos and lessons i've learned more than i have in years quite honestly. I now have a clearer understanding of where to begin again and i'm truly grateful. Would like to see more content like this if possible, Cheers!

[@tuncaycatikkas9054]

Fouad be honest your low day is 500 grams of carbs isnt it? :p

Feel like we should be paying for this 😂

I agree 😂😂😆

[@bramin420]

the best explanation ever , i hate spilling over so i gotta cut and do it over again , its annoying having boulders and a gut sticking out after a while , thank you very much Fouad

[@Holm3300]

Seriously Fouad, this is some of the best free information Ive ever Seen on you tube from a BB its like gold for "normal ppl" to get this good knowledge , thanks champ your the man , keep makeing this good videos! 👍👍👍

[@marksmith9175]

AGREE 110%. - the liver and muscles are like a gas tank on your car. would you ever try to pump gas into a gas tank that was already filled to the top? the bottom line is - DON'T EVER LET YOURSELF SPILL OVER. this was my problem for quite a long time, but thru trial and error, i've finally hit that sweet spot into knowing my body, and i can truly say that now i can continue to build muscle and strength while at the same time continue to slowly lose more bodyfat. its the only way to enjoy the best of both worlds.

[@jshshh1041]

You are an effortless teacher when it comes to this stuff. You obviously have the work ethic to do it, but also the intelligence to understand why it works. Post career you should definitely look into teaching this stuff in college. There's a skill to teaching and you have it

[@Hellothere-e9i]

Million Thanks Fouad as promised you did this episode about Carb cycling.

[@FouadAbiad]

Aws Salih 👊🏽

[@Hellothere-e9i]

So , what I understand is that no Zero Cab day while we're following the carb cycling! Just High , Medium and low carb.

[@FouadAbiad]

Aws Salih you can if you want. You could do 200g high, 100g med, 0g low with your program. The numbers aren’t relevant. It was just a way to explain the system

[@vantannis]

Honestly one of the best explanations of multiple big complex and confusing topics , in one very clear video. Well done Fouad!

[@FouadAbiad]

Jim Parkins thank you.

[@jayeynon9424]

[@kevinsnow9157]

Honestly that is the best way it's ever been explained to me . On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this video a 10 . Thanks man .

[@shawnchristopherwhite3271]

I watched this last night - the best tutorial on carb cycling on KZbin!

[@bellydanza85]

This is an excellent ‘how to’ for carb/calorie cycling. Fouad’s great.

[@sonnysamra8733]

Fouad you literally broke it down perfectly and easy for everyone to understand Carb cycling is IMPERATIVE for those who are carb sensitive. Even if you ate clean carbs daily the spillover will result in fat gain and that "puffy" look. I'm carb sensitive so I don't have any medium days, just low and high. Either 5 low and 2 high or 3 low 1 high and repeat. What's your routine?

[@drivingbro]

12:15 you said i can switch carb types for each meals, but did you know potatoes only contain about half the amount of carbs per 100g compared to rice?

[@absdeep2089]

Makes a ton of sense. However with the Vertical diet I don't need to do any of this. Thanks Stan!!!!!

[@FouadAbiad]

Matt Peters yes that is a great diet. I’m not promoting any diet just giving options. It’s not a competition lol

[@mattpeters6224]

Fouad Abiad For sure. Not everyone can handle the lack of variety of the vertical diet. That’s the only drawback I have found to this point. BTW, let’s change the word “diet” to “nutrition.” Diet carries the connotation of restriction. Certainly not a competition, I would say complimenting. 😁😁. Thank you for the time and great work.

[@Jose-qz5oj]

I subscribed a couple weeks ago and have been absorbing all of the knowledge you have. You have a very straight forward but humble approach to your knowledge.

Thank you so much Fouad. Videos like these are a big part of why I watch your channel. I’m going to start this approach in a few weeks with a few trenbolony sandwich’s sprinkled throughout for a few months.

[@no_lft_shft]

I wish there was like a master course on dieting. Something a newbie can digest and easily understand because I KNOW I would be in much better shape if I had a more detailed and better understanding of dieting and nutrition in general. With that being said LOVED this video.

[@Allieqdub23]

What a great video and explanation in easy terms to understand. Everyone should watch this.....I started carb cycling about 8 months ago and it has done my body really well vs restrictive dieting (same numbers for days even weeks). The timing of what to eat and when is such a critical part of the process that people don’t understand that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
