How To Adjust Calorie Deficit | 1500 to 1200 Calories

[@NottheotherAmber]

Frequent watcher. I don't find your content repetitive because you're always dropping new nuggets of information. You have helped me immensely and I'm sure others feel the same. Thank you.

[@SMITTY19722]

I can honestly say after watching your videos and following you and taking your advice of walking and lifting weights and following your instructions about how to properly control a calorie deficit that I have lost 50 pounds and feel better than I have in four years when I used to train regularly, thank you so much for the motivation and the inspiration.

[@deborahthompson849]

70 yrs old, bad spinal arthritis, occasional herniated discs, subluxations, inoperable. I'm Deb's husband Mike. Been watching u well over a year when I saw u with Dr. Norton who I believe is great & under appreciated. I never miss your videos. I've been working out natural since late teens. Was real pretty till my early 50's, then the arthritis progressed rapidly. Watching John Meadows inspired me to fight through it. Went from 252lbs at 5-8, to my current 164. You helped. I find I can still do all back supposed lifts, & have a pendulum machine which allows me to do light legs. I can also bodyweight sumo, took me a while. I'm happy for your success & appreciate your help. I'm again stronger than the average guy half my age with great endurance. Wish I could treadmill, but I get cardio with super high rep low rest round robin on my machines. There's always a way

Paul, with so much misinformation out there I find your channel a safe haven. I implememted your protocols with my own nutrition/training plan and took a leap of faith. I am six weeks in and down 10lbs and can see my abs starting to pop through. Haven’t seen these old friends in about 24 years! Also starting to see the “beach muscles” starting to pop. Thank you for your no nonsense factual approach. I always look forward to new videos and expert advice. Keep up the great work!

[@AdrianRosas-fj2lk]

I'm a frequent watcher from Mexico. I'm 42 years old and an absolute fan and consumer of your content. All your theories make sense to me and match with my performance . I've been practicing for the past five months. I've lost 15 kilos and improved my strength considerably.

[@zleader99]

Thank you Paul. Your videos have changed my life. Anytime someone asks me about my transformation, I share your channel. THANK YOU

[@trockodile]

Yes, these videos are most definately adding value and being enjoyed, used, and called upon to keep a whole new generation of subscribers on track, and accountable to themselves. Thank you and keep adding value! (8.7Kg or 19lbs down in 9 weeks, 25Kg or 55lbs to go to get back to my old self and my racing weight of yester-years just on your advice and getting up and moving, Thank you!)

[@Wildwoods1212]

I have learned so much from you. Was down to 1300 calories and didn’t see how I could cut more and tried walking more and made a breakthrough thanks!

[@lindaguerra638]

Coach Paul. You are amazing that you post videos. I need the help for my health, motivation and encouragement. Thank you, for what you do! I have a lot to learn and practice.

[@PaulRevelia]

[@gambaru2010]

Paul, you are the one who changed my perspective on cardio - walking! Getting my steps in along with strength training has become the most important thing for me! Thank you so much for teaching us all the valuable lessons about being fit!

[@XO_1]

I'm getting my steps right now on a walking pad while watching your new video. I've been a subscriber since 2019. Steps, steps, very important for me

[@Cinderella-e4m]

Hey There Paul. I wanted to share with you that your videos continue to be an inspiration in my health and wellness journey. The manner in which you and your team at Pro Physique approach your followers, subscribers, fans, athletes, etc...about health and wellness is one that brings me joy. I can truly say there was a time where my journey was just getting exhausting and I was not enjoying it; I came across your channel around that time, and I am truly grateful. Thank you to you and your team.

[@PaulRevelia]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@KITKATHERO]

With your help, im down 28 pounds in 6 months! I have about 15 to go before im at 10-12% bf and just finished a couple months enhoying maintenance. Thank you for all you do! Daily videos help me so much with something to watch during cardio!

[@K4R3N]

It gets pretty difficult below 20%. Don't get frustrated.

[@KITKATHERO]

​@K4R3N for sure, thank you! I know it's much slower. I went from 25% to about 17%. I look and feel healthy, but want to get to that 10-12%, which is figure may take just as long.

[@srconrad]

Thanks, Paul! I bought an inexpensive walking pad a few weeks ago and your video reminded me and inspired me to replace the standard front legs with the incline legs. Now getting more benefits in the same amount of time. Just knocked out 30 minutes on incline.

[@joannajyates]

Thanks Paul! Love your content. Happy to comment and give this channel some love.

[@jaredbarnes5124]

I started your incline 30 min treadmill walk idea. 3 days in and loving it.

[@chopstix3]

i literally watched one of your videos because im older now and watching advice from older gentlemen is much more relatable. It wasn't this video, but i was thinking about commenting and you said if you watched one of my videos, leave a comment so thats exactly what i am doing.

[@PaulRevelia]

I appreciate the effort!

Paul ….. I can attest to losing weight walking . You’re right about walking and eating right. Am I over working out bye walking 30 to 45 minutes per day x 7 days ?

[@SonnyCrocket-p6h]

[@faustinogonzales7868]

Paul your videos have helped me immensely transform my physique. Thank you for all the advice. Quick question, what if we don’t have an incline treadmill? Can we add load to a ruck backpack to keep calories burning?

[@bruceingram3439]

Yes. Great benefit. How to gain muscles without lots of fat?

[@MemzBeats]

Does core nutritional offer meat based protein powder?

[@K4R3N]

I want that Core Nutritionals box....just the box 🎁

[@Nourishtoflourishcookbook]

1500 cals for a dude is insane for any longer than a few days. Eating disorder levels. Most are mistracking if not losing at this extreme level.

[@Sylvie672]

Hello! I love your content! Where do we post questions?

[@haniabuhijleh1634]

Mr Proproducer

[@nichole2861]

What is the most accurate tool to use to monitor body fat? Dexa, calipers, bioimpedece or all three together? Why one verses the other?

[@peterclark4491]

Hi Paul having lost 30 pounds just by walking and watching what I eat as I don’t have access to a gym I find myself only doing cardio and eating between 1800 -2000 calories per day I am using fat secret to track my meals I am finding that I have to do more exercise to burn the amount of calories I would usually burn doing less cardio I am doing an average of about 20,000 steps a day Love the channel been watching for a while now

[@jeremyvinup3868]

I was in the same situation a few years ago. Sounds like your metabolism is slowing down and getting used to being in a calorie deficit. I did two things Paul teaches to fix this. 1 took a diet break and bumped up my calories to a maintenance level then started getting stronger the added muscle will increase your metabolism. I went from 1800 gaining weight to now losing weight on 2300. Since you don’t have access to a gym. My go to bodyweight training exercises are push ups all types regular, pike, diamond etc. regular squats, Bulgarian split squat. Pull ups and chin ups. You can get a great workout in just using body weight. Hope this helps you like it helped me.

[@brandonshank5210]

Thanks for all the great content! I have a question about maintaining the proper caloric deficit. With your calculator my target is 1891 calories. I am using the "Lose It!" app to track my nutrition. I noticed that when I input my workouts into the Lose It app it adds applies those calories as a credit to my intake for the day allowing me to consume more calories. Is this a correct way to go, or should I be aiming for a straight 1891 calories regardless of exercise? Thanks for the help!!

[@derricklizana4065]

I was wondering can I still do my morning walk on my treadmill with my legs being crippling soar?

[@thenopill4201]

What treadmill is that in the back?

[@PaulRevelia]

Nordic trak

[@johndettenmaier8824]

I am coming off of hip surgery where I was unable to even put weight on my leg for 6 weeks. I am working on getting the weight. I have been been doing what you say about walking and your protein goals. I eat between 2,600 to 2,800 calories a day which has 225 grams of protein. I have dropped 30 pounds since March. I am trying to put muscle on but still drop weight at the same time. I have about another 30 pounds I want to drop. Should I do cardio before my weight lifting or the other way. I do about 20k steps a day. Just not sure how to build muscle and still drop weight.

[@veevzkdzr]

On Sept 18 I was 163.2lbs and now on Oct 5 I’m at 156lbs. I walk over 12k steps a day and 8k+ of those steps is exercise. I’ve also cut out sugar, salt and processed foods. The first 2 weeks I subbed my carbs for farro and this week I’m trying only protein and veggies just to “see”. I google a lot of info because idk much of what my body needs to lose weight and gain muscle but the goal here is to get fit and gain muscle. I also want to see my muscles so that means I need to shed my coat of blubber lol. I track everything I eat. It’s not easy eating ground turkey and broccoli sometimes but I just tell myself “FAT lasts longer than FLAVOR” and I remind myself that I’m eating to live. I no longer live to eat because I really do love good food lol. 41yo mom of a 4yo and 6yo trying not to be tired and frumpy. Everyone can do it!

[@veevzkdzr]

It’s been a month since my last post. Now I’m 146, still eating protein and veggies. After walking everyday I went from one mile a day ( a month ago) to now 3 miles a day with a light jog. I still have 3 lbs till my goal of 20lbs. Afterwards, I will set new goals. It’s possible!

[@MrConway007]

I don’t get what Paul said at the end there, how the hell can anybody increase there cardio session but have their step count be much lower? 🤔 surely if one goes up so does the other?

[@PaulRevelia]

I personally do not count my cardio in my step count. They are separate.

[@rickyking1790]

Calorie cycling might be the way to go

[@jamespaolini9196]

Pual, get the hell out of there, milton is comming, stay safe my friend

[@kelvin3033]

Isit even possible to be 177cm 79kg n tdee at only 1800kcals a day ?

[@christinehoffman1825]

😊😊😊

[@Santiagointhejungle]

177 cm 79kg and 1500 was too low! and 1200 is crazy! I am 178cm and 75kg and drop weight eating 1800 calories while having my step count at 12500 gym 4 times a week. I eat at maintenance on weekends (2300 calories). And still drop weight!! Maybe his metabolism is too slow

[@michaelvisco]

Way too low on the calories

[@cynbdavis4243]

💪🏾🎉

[@lez075]

Before you say anything, it's literally impossible to walk 10k steps, eat 1500 kcal and not be losing weight, unless you're a 60kg woman.

[@Santiagointhejungle]

slow metabolism, i guess he is doing that for a long period of time

[@Ruthlessbone]

Exactly. That client is probably not losing weight for the first 2 weeks which he plateau'ed. THAT DOES NOT mean he WILL NOT lose weight if keeps it up. He WILL EVENTUALLY lose it. Just stay consistent.

[@lez075]

@@Ruthlessbone That or he's not counting kcal correctly.

[@Ruthlessbone]

@lez075 he may be counting calories wrong. Which is why paul emphasized the walking calorie accuracy deficit....

[@closinginonclosure]

I can't gain weight. I'm 6'2" and been at single digit bodyfat for months. Visible veins everywhere, including lower abs and thighs, and visible striations everywhere. I'm very lean though, and I've been sitting right around 150lbs. I've been at 3,500 average daily calories for months. Some days a couple hundred higher or couple hundred lower, but about 3.5K average. Daily macros are 400-500 carbs, 80-100g fat or sometimes a bit over 100g, and over 200g protein daily. I'm trying to eat up to the size I want, and just can't get big. What do I do? I lift at least 5 days a week, but my activity is high as well. 15k-20k daily steps average. Sometimes more. I also bike at least 5 days a week, at about 15-20 miles per day. Is the cardio and steps what's hurting my ability to gain more muscle mass? I have muscle and 6 pack and a super ripped physique. I just want everything bigger. Also, I'm not trying to gloat or anything, by sharing physique details. Just providing context.

[@mergieman7769]

Eating 1200 calories and can’t lose weight. You definitely tracking your calories wrong. 😢 you think your eating 1200 your not. People 5 percent body fat eats more than that

[@ickdon7999]

There is absolutely zero reason for any male to eat less than 2,200 calories a day.

[@suadmahmutovic6542]

Any male? How did you come up with that idea? Not all males are the same lol You can't tell person that weighs 155 lbs at 5'8" to eat 2200 calories vs someone that's 210 6 foot 3 inch that depending on what their life consist also eating 2200 😂
