lol I realized a month in to my diet I needed to increase my caloric intake. I sort of reverse dieted from day 1 I started at 1200 calories a day and worked my way up to 1600s then I went down to the 1500s and just walked and didn’t run. Coming out of the diet I have increased by 150-200 calories a week and I initially saw a weight drop off with the calorie increase and I’m just going to be patient and listen to my body. I started doing daily pushups to help facilitate faster metabolism. I have seen negligible weight gain with significant strength gains. I am up to 22 push-ups a day from ten about 2-3 weeks back. I can probably do close to 30 to failure. At age 40 I looked it up and that’s better then the average.

Criminally underrated channel! Keep it up !

[@aweimoleayopeter6960]

I agree... These guys are so knowledgeable

[@dylanb2086]

Agreed - superb no bs info

[@DennisNowland]

Without watching it, eat protein lift weights, and don't cut your calories by too much. And also a bit of walking doesn't come amiss it's not a rocket science

New to the channel. Also new to fitness. Feel like you guys make more sense than 99% of others here on KZbin. Thanks for the knowledge. Subscribed.

[@РуменАсенов-р4ч]

I wish i knew this at the start of my weightloss journey. Currently reverse dieting because of my mistakes but its going well

[@movingelite]

me too. i did wrong diet and now my metabolism is very low . trying is eat 2500 calories healthy whole foods to raise metabolism

[@Papepipucho]

The body converts carbs so lousily into fat that if you ate nothing but carbs and went 500 over maintenance it would take months to put on a pound of fat. I love over eating carbs to keep metabolism roaring.

[@IntegraDIY]

4:52 he said don’t be in a cut longer than 2 to 6 weeks.. I know being in a cut refers to a fit person dieting down.. but what about a guy needing to lose 50-100lbs.. it’ll take over a year of dieting potentially wrecking the metabolism 😕😕😕😕

[@georgedenison3247]

I wouldn’t worry, you could probably go 3 months or so before you’ll need a diet break, if you feel you need one earlier do so. During the break just eat at your new maintenance until you’re ready to continue losing weight. It may look like the scale has gone up and it has but that’ll be due to glycogen stores replenishing making you hold more water. Hope this helps! Also aim to lose 1% of your body weight per week!

[@Sluggardmilk]

​@georgedenison3247 I've been on a deficit since late October. Would I need to take break then and eat at maintenance??

[@georgedenison3247]

@@Sluggardmilk if things are going well and you’re losing weight then you can keep on smashing it if you want. But I feel if this isn’t the case and you’re feeling fatigued or burnt out please don’t continue make it sustainable and have fun whilst you’re doing so. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. You’ve got this!!!

[@Sluggardmilk]

@@georgedenison3247 thank you! Honestly, I think I'm doing okay with it, but ive tried fasting once a week (32-36 hours) and I honestly, quite like it, maybe more than the deficit each day. I suppose with all the information I'm getting, it's hard to decide what's best long term and can be confusing 😆

[@georgedenison3247]

@@Sluggardmilk Dude that’s great! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!!! Whatever works for others may not work for you and vice versa. So keep smashing it! But if things get tough what worked for me is either having a low activity day or eating at maintenance. They pushed me to work harder to reach where I wanted to be so I’d recommend doing that whenever you feel like it. Regardless of what I think keep doing what you’re doing, all the best :)

[@davidvoldcc]

so basically the only way to boost metabolism while dieting is zig zag diet. High days to rev up the metabolism for the low days to burn extra calories (hence it will burn more calories while on a deficit).

[@tofu7870]

Can u simplify what u just said

[@tofu7870]

As in ,high days u mean eat more calories and in low days eat less calories? While activity level remains the same throughout high or low days?

[@princeofpeaceproductions3506]

You can’t cut without continually going down in calories…. He says our bodies have adapted to going long times without food… that’s why our fat stores exist..to tap into fat stores in a healthy way without wrecking your metabolism..you must fast….

[@OsmosisMaple]

Keep it up guys. I just need the last three video. I'm trying to lose weight and got some wrist pain 😂

[@JanaRadic-u8q]

You have no idea how hard it is.. I am trying to go from 68-70kg to 60 (i am 176cm height).. I am eating cleanest diet ever!! But those last 8-10kg want go away!!! One/Two days of wrong eating monthly are ruining my process..

[@LisaMosele]

I watched this video twice. Great and sound advice. 🙌 Thank you! 🙏

[@SMarkGee]

it's kinda like the only way to naturally lose fat is with a calorie deficit.

[@divergentchaman]

He is saying is be in calorie deficit but not extreme so as not to lower ur BMR. U can use zig zag diet like he suggested. Deficit for 5 days in week. And maintenance cal for 2 days a week. In random manner. Fool ur body so that it doesnt realize cal deficit as threatening.

[@jackthompson9149]

What’s your guys take on the hormonal response to foods? I notice that when I bulk with lean foods at 3500 cal my bodies response is super good and I barley gain any fat which I find kind of strange considering my cals usually stick around 2400, my cardio and weights stay the same

[@Sam-ge5hg]

Same here, not complaining tho 😂

[@Saundersstrong]

I have heard that the efficiency of fat storage through dietary intake is close to 100% whereas the body can only store so many carbs . There is something to this for sure. I’m cutting right now and going to try tweaking the macros towards more carbs and protein less fat and see what happens

[@ryanmichaelpower]

@@Saundersstrong Just note that low fat could be bad for hormone production.

[@ashfaaqhusaynlotun2543]

incredible channel.love you guys for what you do.Thank you very much

[@american236]

WOW. You guys know exactly what you are talking about.

[@prisonmike3856]

Adaptive Thermogenesis

[@chegvra]

How did so many lean humans with fast metabolisms survive in hunter-gatherer societies throughout time, when food got really scarce? You’d think evolution would have wiped them out. Or is metabolic adaptation so efficient, that even these individuals were able to survive?

[@mikkorasanen5006]

Thats interesting question. I would guess that people with faster metabolism get more shit done and are more productive, which helps them to survive and thrive. Idk

[@wavethatcrashed9155]

@@mikkorasanen5006 Im not agreeing much with this dude cuz anorexic people dont have cheat days, they eat very little and therefore get very skinny, little muscle , little fat , they are losing weight fast and dont change their calories

[@РуменАсенов-р4ч]

​@@wavethatcrashed9155 yes but at some point they stop losing weight because of metabolic adaptation. If it can continue it will continue otherwise the anorexic would die

[@wavethatcrashed9155]

@@РуменАсенов-р4ч alot of anorexic's do die, if you eat 1000 calories a day, you will get the body of a person who eats 1000 calories a day, anorexics stop losing weight, because at a certain point, the calories they eat sustain the body. christian bale for the machinist ate only 200 calories a day, no cheat days, and he kept losing too

[@РуменАсенов-р4ч]

@@wavethatcrashed9155 i lost weight but it was kind of in a reverse diet way which meant i slowed my metabolism mostly so at some point i was eating less than 1000 calories a day, doing an hour of really intense cardio a day and still not losing weight and I didn't look anorexic

[@ahkimmyglor]

and so i am in a cut for three days and every four day i am refeeding HAHAA!! So i am playing with my metabolism LOLS! Science buff here

[@ananya07ah68]

I'm doing the same

[@divergentchaman]

Its called zig zag dieting what u r doing. Its a gr8 way to protect BMr from tanking while losing fat. Be in cal deficit but dont let body realize it. Great. I am doing once a week maibtenance cal and 6 days deficit. But i think will change it to 3 or 2 days maintenance in the long run. I have been a past victim of yo yo dieitng and tanked my metabolism and rwbounded my weight gaining more than initial. So m being extrq careful and scientific this time

[@KnuckleHead1983]

Metabolic adaptation= survival mode

[@MindPumpShow]

👍

[@divergentchaman]

Zig zag dieting is the solution to prevent it

[@petaluma0]

Thanks

[@imnugget8085]

So if you go on a diet or cut only for a week and then go back to normal eating

[@I-di-nt-do-nuff-in-]

It’s crazy that you’re spreading false information that your metabolism can actually change

[@kathya1956]

What kind of exercises can I do at home. Further my knees are bust.

[@ireneedmonds4712]

Does marijuana slow down metabolism?

[@lovejoy1311]

It slows down your activities, usually, which means fewer kcals burned during that period of time. And does promote snacking, often by lower inhibitions and promoting eating off plan.

[@milanvujcich]

It sure makes you hungry
