[@DeadInsideDave]

people look at there zig zaging weight an stress about it, but they forgetting how much actual time an meals pass by on those days, like 200 here or there on ur maintenance calories will barely affect the average. its wen u make it a norm by cheating so much it becomes your new routine

[@camfella647]

This is the only video I’ve seen of yours but it’s a breath of fresh air compared to other channels, you strike me as an honest genuine person, stay real bro

[@jojojojojojojojojojojojob]

you can't outrun a bad diet though unless you are a body builder with tons of lean muscle.. even then, for normal people, its better to just eat within the bmr

[@soggie-u5g]

I’d like to emphasize on the importance of minimizing decision fatigue. Once I recognized that “trying harder makes it harder,” a huge relief fell upon me and I was able to make better decisions. This allowed me to start with small wins to get into the habit of winning, especially for life. It takes time. With that, patience and discipline.

[@Theonlyraffle]

Yeah I think starting small helps I always go into the gym thinking ok I’m go for 30 minutes even tho I haven’t gone in months then I quit every time. I chose to start again and just go for 10 minutes and when I cook as hard as it is to get into habit cook my favorite somewhat healthy food it’s a hard process but I feel horrible in the body I’m in now.

[@wanheekim]

Exactly! well said sir

[@Justafayze]

Dude 100% I’ve been most consistent by telling my self “my only goal is to walk into the gym.” But then I get in there and just start working out haha

[@PhantomWorks01]

Thank you for this comment. I didn’t even know decision fatigue was a thing. But it totally makes sense. My struggle is around food prep and deciding what to eat and cook daily.

[@CalebZeringue]

I love this. Also love you channel. Tried working with a different type of coach and he was ALL about meal prep, tons of work, etc. I had lost weight way more easily in the past by just skipping breakfast and halving dinner. Your channel was a good reminder that it really shouldn't be THAT hard.

[@andreistanciu4359]

For anyone watching, please listen to the SLEEP advice. I began training in the morning at 5AM because that was the only time I could fit into my schedule. I went to the gym regularly, 3-4 times a week, followed a diet, lost good amount of weight. Been disciplined for 6 months. But I never actually slept a lot except Saturdays and Sundays, I used to go to sleep at 00:00 or even 1AM and then wake up 4 hours later to go to the gym. I went 6 months feeling like shit half of the time, often failing excercises I could do perfectly fine the week before, I would often feel sick in the gym, fatigue would make me lose my breath and have to quit for the day even if my muscles weren't too tired, I thought it was just normal. Then I got tired of all that and actually attempted to get 8 clean hours of sleep in before going to the gym, this means sleep at 9PM for me. Result was, I went to the gym 3 days in a row and felt literally superhuman. No sore muscles, no short breath, no fatigue. I could train probably 50% harder AND longer. SO MANY PROBLEMS solve themselves by sleeping 8 hours before going to the gym. If you are in ANY WAY unsatisfied with your performance in the gym, keep in mind that not sleeping enough is probably the one thing that holds you back.

The water part is underrated. I had to discover for myself that many times what I interpreted as hunger was actually thirst.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

The more you know 😉 💦

[@holger_p]

It's just a possibility. Water helps a little against (real) hunger, cause it stretches the stomach, it fills you for a short time. And it helps you for all the routines or desires, where you want to stick something in your mouth, or do something with your fingers. This same effect applies to smoking, it also helps loosing wait, cause you don't eat while you smoke, mouth and fingers are busy. It's this eating cause of beeing bored. So the cravings you have are more complex , than beeing thirsty.

[@chaugulepankaj]

- Burn more calories than you eat. - Hit your daily protein requirement while staying in your calories set limit. - Weight training is must to maintain / build muscle. Or to avoid muscle loss. - 7 to 9 hrs of good night's sleep is must. - Sufficient water intake. - Make a routine plan for food in advance to avoid decision fatigue. - Additional Tip: Intermittent fasting. - Avoid restrictive diet. It doesn't work and drains mental energy.

I am a 34 year old female, former glamour and fitness model for men's magazines (among other work, including live appearances), therefore requiring that I maintain an *extremely* specific and consistent physique, and I subsequently learned everything you've taught here as a result. To this day, I'm able to lean down drastically (or increase targeted muscle mass) within a matter of weeks using these principles, with no unhealthy dietary restrictions. It is imperative that food is not seen as an enemy, nor exercise or calories. Everything within moderation is always good practice. Great work!

I don’t feel like I’m talking to a salesman that doesn’t care about me, I don’t feel like you’re making content just to make content, I don’t feel overwhelmed or lost. You explain things so in depth. You talk about the mental aspect and the mindset which I haven’t heard many other influencers do. I feel like you genuinely care. Your videos feel like I’m almost talking to a friend and that is so refreshing. On top of that, you’re incredibly realistic and relatable. Thank you so so much for all the effort and time you put into these videos. I cannot wait to start the journey w you!

[@wanheekim]

Thank you so much. It means a lot to read a comment like this :)

[@itsvolts1434]

This is the finest advice video I've seen (I've been training for nine years and am still learning). I'd like to add something for those who are reading the comments. 1. Using small utensils and eating gradually permits the brain to declare you are full; however, eating quickly does not allow your body to say "I'm full." 2. Consider what "works" for you. Intermittent fasting worked for me; however, it caused this binge in other people, thus eating something small for breakfast may help others. This is also true for fasted exercise, while others may feel sluggish and exhausted since muscle building requires progressive overloading no matter what. 3. Keeping food out of the home may assist people with eating disorders by keeping it out of sight and out of mind. If you're going to binge because you're in too great of a deficit, purchase a 2 kg bag of strawberries and eat it all; a modest excess is preferable to a week's worth of surplus. Everyone, good luck. As we all know, Christmas is almost around the corner; please don't skimp on this life purpose, and there is no need to hurry. Diet for three months, then maintain for one month before returning to dieting. Long-term objectives are preferable to short-term aims, as Wanhee said.

absolutely true, however one thing i do different, iis having a lot of meals over the day and not doing intermittent fasting, by doing this you can maximize the gains you make in the gym and you rarely feel hungry, negative side is that i only eat sweets, pork, wheat etc on cheatdays, you won't feel hungry doing this and you'll have a lot of progress in the gym, but you can't eat the same stuff you ate before the diet

[@lukasqwr]

19:00 About this point, it`s very important to eat slow. Chewing is an important step in our metabolism. While chewing there are a lot of enzymes which kinda prepare the food for our digesting system. And when you swallow chunks of food that are too big and they get relatively big in our intestine the bacteria may can´t metabolize it fully meaning it may can´t use all nutrients in the food because it´s too big to take apart fully. Plus when you eat slow you will eat less and it makes eating healthier. Binging a burger and fries in 5 min isn´t healthy in my opinion plus i think if you eat slow you enjoy your food more. Chewing at least like 20 times per bite is essential for a healthy relationship with food and a fully working metabolism.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

Metabolism is a series of chemical reactions within your body for turning food into energy. Chewing is what happens beforehand 😂. Way to terrify anxious people into submission though. I mean, you’re not wrong, but keep things in perspective

[@ace41367]

Great advice. I’ve gone through this process over last 15 months and it has dramatically reduced by fat levels at age 55. My big learning event was to reduce stress - can’t loose the belly fat without it ( and it also reduced the size of the butt - seriously). I eat once a day, saves so much time, makes life easier - you can eat whatever you want, but in moderation, but try to keep to good carbs, fats and protein whenever possible. Also found that doing some high intensity workout 1-2 times a week, helps me actually build a little muscle. And to accelerate fat loss, if you can walk for 30-45 mins a few times, this helps a ton. Great video, it works!

Fast 16 hours a day ( preferably at night when u sleep so u don't get hungry) eat normally while introducing healthier foods. Workout (HIIT is very good with IF) and be patient don't expect things to change in a month or so. Plan at the very least a 6 months schedule.

[@matzebraun]

I’m so sorry, I just saw your responses now. My first meal is around 12’o clock and since my wife cooks it can be anything but I only eat one mid-size plate. Next meal (no snacks or anything in between) would be around 6pm and I eat one wrap with 3 slices of ham, 3 slices of toast cheese, some tomato paste, around 100g of corn (can). I put it in the microwave so because I like warm meals and I like cheese 😅 I only drink water or black coffee. But for dinner I go for one glass of Coke Zero.

As someone who's struggled with intermittent fasting the key is really to eat enough calories that can sustain you for the next day, so let's say you're doing a 16-8 or 18-6 fast make sure that your last meal during your eating period is a large meal, enough to sustain your long fasting period, also when he says to drink water, that advice is very underrated

That sounds good to me ,I get really empty the last few hours before I break the fast but I thought that was actually when your fast is burning fat. I’m probably wrong as I don’t know squat.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

You don’t need to fast in order to lose weight. So long as you’re in a caloric deficit your body will lose weight. Fast if it’s convenient for your schedule or whatever, but despite what some influencers out there claim it doesn’t directly affect weight loss. I’ve fasted loads. Every kind of fasting out there, including prolonged fasts for 72 hours. That’s not for weight loss though (despite shills out there claiming it is).

[@sicparvismagna9110]

Can I like this video twice ? Because the beginning of this video was great

[@ms.indigolotus4001]

You know what I think causes sudden weight gain? It's when a person suddenly stops getting on the scale to keep track. I check in the morning, before breakfast. It helps me set my calories deficit for the day. I use a BMI app to find out my calories goal, so I stay consistent and able to make the proper calorie measurements, especially after a holiday or a celebration meal.

[@mindoff_music]

Skipping an early breakfast was great advice. I didn’t realize how easy it was to skip, I don’t feel that hungry in the morning. I also seem to get hungry later in the day regardless if I eat a big breakfast or not, so skipping made staying in a small deficit far easier

I used to do “body transformation” cycles where I would only diet and exercise like once a year and the rest I just fall back on old habits and completely erase any progress I’ve made. Took a new approach 2 months ago. First started exercising. Didn’t worry about my food, just kept that the same. After a couple of weeks, then I started choosing healthier alternatives and tried paying attention to WHAT I was eating. Then a couple of weeks later, started to meal prep. Can’t “make a mistake” if you already have your meals laid out for you. Anything that goes outside of that, I’m more conscientious of. I have no end date, but I did set goals for myself. Currently trying to run a half marathon. Lost a good deal of fat and gained some lean muscle. This isn’t a “body transformation” anymore. This is my new life.

Thank you for affirming the path I'm starting right now. I've been overweight all my life and all diets I've tried failed... it gets more serious when you hit your 30s, body complications starts to make it difficult to function. That being said I think very important to have a clear mindset of reminding yourself why you're doing what you're doing. I know of a lot of "skinny" people who are getting praised for being slim but then they tell you they actually have high cholesterol or they get tired very easily. My goal is to have a strong body who doesn't easily get sick and a body that gets things done for me and the people around me. Have your annual checkups you guys! Subbing btw!

So glad I found your KZbin channel, im 19 years old and I love going out with my mates and when I’m going out most weekends it’s hard to keep my diet in line because I have that mindset of “ah it’s only for tonight” and I always tend to quit it. Thanks for giving me a different perspective of dieting. Keep up the vids 👊

[@wanheekim]

I was 19 and doing and thinking exactly that so I know what you mean ;)

best dieting video and advice I’ve heard. keep it chill, stick to the fundamentals, learn as you go.

[@tomdumay3885]

Excellent video. Your observations are exactly what I've had to figure out on my own over time. You have to eat to lose weight, you can't restrict yourself from carbs as it will end up manifesting in running out of gas when working out. Also, you nailed it on the amount of stress involved with making dietary decisions on what to eat!!! Great practical knowledge you've shared here and hope others find it.

I paid for a nutritionist consult. I have a GI one tomorrow. I've been unhappy with my physique for years. This whole video is calling my name. It's time to start making real changes but also to actually enjoy life. Thank you.

My granddad had the best lifestyle. Wake up at 6, freshen up by 6:30 go to farm graze cattle, milk them, do some farm related work come back home by 9. Take shower, do prayer, have the first full meal at 10am. Continue the rest of daily routine and have second meal at 5pm. No coffee, no tea, no bear, no munching snacks in between, none of that. Just 2 full and filling meals both while the sun is up. He lived for 105 years without any disease or other body problems.

[@mandandi]

Keep on going dude. I did this 13 years ago and went from size 34'' waist to 32'' in one month. Then I stopped. Gained more fat around the gut but kept the same weight, give or take a couple of kgs every so often. 3 months ago, I started calisthenics with hanging, never done it before...ever. Now I can hold a few hangs or a few seconds longer each week, and swing around. Progress. I plan to keep gong. Diet is ok so far, quite healthy, but I throw in fast food here and there. Mostly I cook at home, bake breads even. All healthy - seeds, cacao, eggs, coconut oil, non-wheat bakes. I am so motivated I don't see myself stopping. I do intermittent fasting too, for years, probably kept my weight where it is. Just need to build some muscle, and lose the rest of the fat, which is half-gone already by the way. Try supplementing with natural plants like pine pollen, butea superba, tongat ali.

[@wanheekim]

[@kjeeb]

Just wanted to say this video resonated a lot with me. As someone who mostly wants to feel better and just be lean, I relate to your approach a lot. I've been intermittent fasting for over a year but exercise wasn't a big part and neither was consistency on caloric restriction. Going forward, I'm definitely going to apply what I've learned from here. Thanks!

[@KristianH1986]

Good advice here. I’d like to add some things; 1. Combine a caloric deficit with the ketogenic diet to specifically target fat stores for a much quicker weight loss. Simply eating at a caloric deficit but a high carb diet will spike insulin and the body won’t tap into those fat stores like a keto diet will. Keto turbo charges weight loss especially combined with intermittent fasting. 2. If you’re the type of person that always skips breakfast then intermittent fasting is PERFECT for you. Start out at an 16:8 ratio then once you’re used to It you can up the ratio to 18:6 or even 20:4 I started intermittent fasting at a 20:4 ratio on 1st January this year and as of today 13/02/2022 I’ve lost 31.2lbs in just 6 weeks. Yes some of this was water weight I’m aware of this, but after week 2 I’ve been losing around 4-5 lbs consistently each week. Good luck everyone 🎉

That’s up to you mate. You’re the one buying the food, cooking the meals, weighing your food, logging your calories, weighing yourself etc. You are the one who makes it realistic, not some nice guy on the internet

Honestly the best and most genuine video I have seen on the matter. Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@panagiotislepelis8177]

I think people overcomplicate things. I just counted calories for about a month and once i had a rough idea of how many calories were in the foods i usually ate i stopped counting and calculated it roughly in my head from then on. I lift 2-3 times a week and i did some extra walking or cardio. I also don't drink and when i went out i opted for something light and not too calorie dense. That's about it.

[@jakedavey5211]

Hundred percent. People blame genetics way too often. It doesn’t matter if you eat healthy or unhealthy food as well. As long as you have a low calorie diet you will lose weight

[@Thatwasianboii]

What I like about this video is that it makes achieving our desired body realistic. We know that diet is the most integral factor to achieving whatever kind of body we desire. Establishing a good diet will make lifestyle so much more enjoyable. I also really like how you say to basically stop obsessing. That right there was my biggest flaw. Now looking at diet as dynamic, not really obsessing/stressing makes life so much more enjoyable. Good stuff!

[@itsdennyboy]

you just reminded me to drink my water, thanks man

[@alekdaniels]

Dude I needed to see this. The cycle you just outlines is EXACTLY what I go through time and time again. I sometimes even vomit on purpose just to eliminate the guilt after having eaten so much. And the defeatist justification of "fuck it. I'll just enjoy life. I don't care about how I look" and proceeding to not leave the house because I actually care about how I look--it is a vicious cycle that adds more and more weight on my body. I work as a freelance analyst so I can choose not to go out. Since I'm stuck at home, I don't get to move a lot and so I burn less calories, get fatter, and miserable. This is not a diss to people who are happy being fat. But for me, I am not happy and I can't socialize with people because of how shameful I am of my body. I need to get better at this. Thanks, man.

[@TheShelbinator3000]

Lots of really good info in here. I'll just say, FWIW, that my partner is a nutritional therapist and highly recommends against indefinite intermittent fasting. It definitely is effective if the goal is to lose weight/get lean but there are some side effects people should be aware of. You can do it for a couple weeks now and again or even a month as a mental challenge/to cut quicker to meet a goal, but indefinite fasting -- or fasting for months to years on end (decades for some men I know that haven't been eating breakfast since middle school) -- trains your metabolism to slow down (as if you're aging quickly -- something you really don't want heading into your 30s, 40s). You also may find, over time like I did, that fasting in the morning repeatedly can lead to blood sugar issues (chronic migraines for me), especially after drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Even just a 1/2 a cup of nonfat greek yogurt (protein) with a 1/2 a banana comes in at 100 calories. Eat before coffee. Workout. Next meal could be as late as 2p. Dinner by 7p. Break that "fast" by 7a the next morning. That's 12hrs without calories, which gets into fasting territory. So there's a balance to be struck without the bad longterm consequences of more restrictive intermittent fasting.

[@DrDeepstack]

Just out of interest, do you have any scientific article to back this up?

[@lhl]

I've done a fair amount of spelunking through the metabolic research over the years, and frankly, the studies I've found on long-term (say >8wks) TRE (time restricted eating) in healthy individuals is pretty thin, so I'd recommend people to take everything people (even those passing on credentialed 2nd-hand advice) have to say skeptically because IMO 1) the "science" isn't really isn't there. (If your partner has DOI references or has observed evidence via labs or RQ testing, feel free to share, I'd love to hear about it) and 2) there's so much bio-individuality that it's dumb to make such broad statements, especially when the flip side is that there's a fair number biohackers doing n=1 experiments w/ frequent labwork (Peter Attia et al), along with so much new research showing substantial short term health benefits from (especially) eTRF on such a wide range of cardio-metabolic markers. Here btw are a few of the relevant studies I'm aware of for those interested... doi: 10.1001/jamainternmed.2020.4153 - Effects of Time-Restricted Eating on Weight Loss and Other Metabolic Parameters in Women and Men With Overweight and Obesity - this was a recent (2020) UCSF 12wk n=116 study on overweight/obese individuals, but the interesting part is that body composition via DXA and metabolic rates via RQ were measured. In Supplement 3, eFigure 1 you can see that energy expenditure actually increased for the TRE group (while declining in the consistent meal timing group), which would seem to contradict the idea of lowered metabolism. (personally, I think that's an iffy idea anyway anyway - your metabolism is going to be much more affected by muscle mass/mitochondrial function - both of which is driven by resistance exercise training, and on appropriate endocrine markers (low fasting insulin, proper thyroid and sex hormone levels)). doi: 10.3390/nu14194216 - Intermittent Fasting-Short- and Long-Term Quality of Life, Fatigue, and Safety in Healthy Volunteers: A Prospective, Clinical Trial - this is a brand new (Oct 2022) study published, also 12wk, n=30 with healthy individuals. From labwork done (basically a CMP w/ some extras) no negative effects were observed, except IGF-1 was improved, as were QoL scores. The most interesting part of this study is that it's one of the few using *healthy* individuals. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000002738 - this is longest study I know of (12 mo, n=34), although there are two other 12mo studies, NCT03533023 and NCT04465721 that should publish soon. Anyway, the abstract conclusion: "Our results suggest that long-term TRE combined with a resistance training program is feasible, safe, and effective in reducing inflammatory markers and risk factors related to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases." One thing to consider is that these are small studies and there is a huge amount of bio-individuality and a lot that we don't understand about human metabolism (or health in general). My general approach is that everyone should try what they want - keep doing the things that work and where they feel good doing it. Stop doing it if it stops working or they don't feel good doing it. If you like numbers, do the labs you want for yourself to help decide if it's good for you (whether it's just bloodwork, DXA, RQ, whatever). Almost all historical guidelines/nutritional advice has proven to be contingent, if not outright wrong/overturned over the past decades and it takes a long time (again, often decades) for new research to filter into scientific orthodoxy and then clinical practice, much less government guidelines...

[@indoex]

Just a side note: A slower metabolism = longer life. The more food you have to process the more toll it takes on your body in the long run. In most organism a slower metabolism means a longer a life.

[@TheShelbinator3000]

​ @TjalledenOuden No, just passing on a little info from an NTP, colored by my own experience. Again, FWIW. For anyone interested, I think this is something more common-sense than suggesting 9 months of strength/weight training on an empty stomach after 16hrs of fasting - that’s a far more radical suggestion. And unfortunately many men and women develop eating disorders because they never stop 16hr+ fasts. Remember that I’m not saying anything groundbreaking here. Breaking a 12 hour (6p - 6a, 7p - 7a, etc) lower-end "fast” with a small balanced break-fast (protein, fat, carbs) like a banana with greek yogurt, as my gf suggests, is a pretty safe way to protect your blood sugar and you brain. You don’t need a study to tell you that your cortisol spikes every morning, that coffee (esp. on an empty stomach) exacerbates blood sugar issues, or that in the AM a small rounded snack helps regulate both. Also common sense that couple hundred calories in the AM will lead to more productive and less dangerous workouts more routinely. It means a little more portion control in the PM but that’s a great lesson to learn in general. As for studies on decades of 16+hr fasting? I don't think there's much out there proving either. But from what I understand, it's generally more sensible to hover around 12hrs over years, decades. 12 may even be too much for those who wake up in the middle of the night or the morning, which is usually a blood sugar issue. And the poor sleep that comes with extremely long fasts isn't great for you either -- just another drawback. 16+ hrs of fasting certainly bears the burden of proof here and not the other way around. Balance is better.

This. Is. Brilliant! All the advice you gave I followed last year from a doctor friend of mine. I’m 189cm tall and weighed 90kg. Not a lot of muscle was showing and my face was rounder than it is now. In about 6 months I lost 15kg (33 pounds), I can see my abs, I feel amazing and had tons of people saying that I look noticeably different. The ONLY downside is that I had to give away all my pants and shorts and buy a whole bunch of smaller sizes. That’s expensive 😟 Eating is now something that doesn’t stress me out. And that is a bigger win than any aesthetic and fitness gains.

I work out first thing in the morning at 6AM so I feel like I have to eat breakfast afterwards. I think I'm gonna opt for fasting over dinner instead of breakfast. Or maybe just force my self to fast in the morning for a couple weeks until I adjust to it. Holidays are a perfect time for this when you have time off from work and can mentally torture yourself while you adjust.

[@popcornto6032]

Just have a Protein Shake after your workout and skip breakfast.

[@amonbeck]

I would eat 45 min after or before working out. Before if you’re trying to build strength and you need energy to do harder workouts. After if you’re trying to build bulk muscle so that your body has something to build with. BUT! You could do a breakfast/dinner split. That’s still enough time between meals to get the benefits of fasting. 8hrs is the minimum I’ve read. I wouldn’t workout heavy and not eat. You’re going to tank and you’ll suffer mentally and physically trying to get work done for the rest of the day. The kind of fasting he does is 16:8, but there are so many other types you can consider, especially if you’re working out in the morning instead of mid-day or night. The most important thing is to allow time between meals and to eat within the calories you need to build the figure you want.
