Discovered your channel only a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work! and Thank you! I wish you had more of "absolute beginner over 50s" kind of videos. But, there are others covering that as well. Great content and the PT aspect of it, mentioning the possible harmful outcomes of certain movements ... priceless.

[@EknePeleknez]

@athlenx hey Jeff what's your take about Nucleus overload? My son is young and impressionable, and he has been following a guy who ensures working a single muscle group for a whole month, then resting a whole week before moving to a new muscle group, is the "best way" to grow muscle. Which I believe is the credo behind this Nucleus Overload stuff.

- Key takeaway 1: Nutrition is the most important factor in losing love handles. - Key takeaway 2: Focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods. - Key takeaway 3: Create a calorie deficit by eating fewer calories than you burn. - Key takeaway 4: Include strength training exercises that target the lats, abs, and obliques. - Key takeaway 5: Be patient and consistent with your efforts.

I would add to try and gain muscle mass over strength to speed metabolism and be precise with counting calories. The milk I mix my protein shake with is 200 calories, tablespoon cod liver oil is 100 calories, spreads you put on bread contain alot more calories than you think and a litre of fruit juice can contain 400-700 calories and protein bar 250cal to name a few. A litre of vegetable or most oils contains 8000 not 800 calories, that suprised me. Most people (me previously) seriously underestimated their calorie intake.

[@tribaldefender473]

Calory deficit could be an issue on some people. Dr Sten Ekberg covered the topic in great depth (and a former olympic decathlete)

It’s that simple in the beginning, once you reach a certain point, your metabolic rate “fixes” itself and your caloric demand is lower, there is a limit to how little calories you can have and not want to consume more. At that point it’s more difficult to lose body fat, he never talks about this because he’s never experienced it himself.

95% of removing unwanted fat is diet, but I believe exercise serves as a psychological component. Exercise puts one on the offensive in the war against fat. So I'm really glad Jeff covered both with the priority being diet.

[@tribaldefender473]

Yup. Once you cut down carbs, body fat melts. But he's correct about love handles being the last to go.

As someone who started working out 3 months ago. I can tell you now, that once you start bringing your pelvis up and twisting with the leg lifts. Your abs will buurrrrn. The first time I did them. I wasn't lifting my pelvis up and I ended up tweaking my lower back for 2 weeks. Once, this man explained it to me and showed how it's done. I can actually feel my abs getting tighter and harder. I've been doing all the exercises I can from learning it here, and I've definitely felt and can see the gains.

[@Fabeman1]

I started with intermittent fasting 6 weeks ago (16-8 scheme). The reasons for doing so were NOT related to losing weight bug rather to take advantage of overall health benefits. After six weeks, I've lost around 6 pounds and noticed a huge change in my love handles.... they're just melting away. Again, I eat whatever I want during my 8 hour eating window and it seems like my 16 hour fasting window really kicks my metabolism in gear to burn fat. This was becoming quite noticeable around week 3 or 4 of my IF. Just throwing it out there as it's an added benefit for reducing love handles.

[@breal3647]

I wanna try that intermittent fasting, can you please tell me what time is the best for me to start and finish eating and when to stop? And what do you think can I build muscle and go to the gym with intermittent approach?

I have been running consistently almost 6 days a week for about a year and I unnoticeably have lost love handles. I never realised it as I was only focused on other main muscle groups. And yes, love handles and chest fat are the last stubborn fat that is hard to burn. I was able to not completely get rid of love handles but they are hardly visible. The only challenge I face is trying to reduce my chest fat because I naturally have man boob shape. I will continue to keep running until I get rid of all excess fat.

I read some article 30 years ago that talked about how the body stores and uses fat. As you said, it stores fat bottom up and uses fat top down. So when you are putting on weight, the waistline is the first place it shows, and when you're losing weight, the waistline is the last place it shows.

Hello Atlean-X - I'm a 62 year old man who started exercising at 16. I was in the best shape of my life at 25 but then the gout started up so every two to three months (sometimes sooner), it would flare up and I would not be able to exercise for a week or two. After a few years of this vicious cycle, I just stopped working out altogether. I gained a few pounds (a few meaning 40+ pounds) and could not walk more than 20 minutes without having to stop for another 10 to give my aching joints and feet a break. Fast forward to age 47 when I became a dad. I did not want my son to have an old dad so started working out again. "Do it for the baby!" was my battle cry. I also got my gout under control with no flareups in years. I dropped more than 30 of those pounds but know that I have also lost pounds of muscle during my years of inactivity. I know folks my age can regain muscle but I have been finding it hard to do so when training like I used to way back when. Is that my mistake - to train like I did when I was 25? I have also upped my protein intake and will be starting creatine soon. I plan on using this video to help me lose my love handles and was wondering if you had a video or advice on how this old fart can regain muscle? Much appreciated.

[@LupusZockt]

Great video! Thank you :-) I have a question, related to the topic: Few weeks ago I saw a study and I would be interested in your thoughts about it. Unfortunately, the study didn't fullfill all criteria, such as tracking the subjects' diets, to be considered reliable. Anyway, the interesting fact was the aim of the study: "Is it possible to increase the fett burning in specific areas of the body?" And the study was successful. Test subjects in the experimental group trained only stomach and breast, while the control group did full body workouts. After their daily workouts, both groups did cardio training for a specific amount of time. This resulted in the control group losing more fat at all. But the amount of burned fat in stomach and breast region was much higher at the experimental group subjects. As far as I remember, the assumption was something like: "Our bodies always try to use the shortest possible route for energy supply. This is why more fat is burned near the currently activated muscles than in other places." Do you know the study? What do you think about it? PS. If someone has a link to the study, feel free to share. I can't find it at the moment :-/

This is for AX Jeff. Jeff, I have heard forever that the body has a reservoir that holds 40G of protein and anything over that will overflow and be wasted. I've also repeatedly heard that the fastest synthesizing protein is whey clocking in at 10G per hour. we've also been told forever that we need 1G of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. Gradeschool math would tell us that if you're over 240 pounds, and don't wake up every 4 hours throughout the night to top off you're screwed. Please explain how these AXioms (see how I did that) can possibly all be true or not, and for those of us with busy lives of work DIY projects, children and girlfriends to please, what is a practical way to get the protein we need in the few doses we have time to take?

The huge issue with the "caloric" defecit, is that actually hitting your maintenance accurately is incredibly difficult. Especially when your best indicator is weight, which can fluctuate or stagnate when you work out as well. I didnt notice anything when i tried to use estimates to calculate this. My "four-pack" was there for 6 months while everything else felt stagnant. When i went more aggressive over time to try and push results i just lost weight, but not the fat around the target area. I still dont really know where my maintenance actually is, and its a huge problem when trying to have a fat loss without losing muscle as well.

Have you been gaining weight consistently? Or are you +/- 5 lbs in a week (water weight fluctuations)? If the latter, you are at maintenance. Now, track your calories and decrease them or eat the same and do light/moderate cardio 20-30 minutes a day in conjunction with but separate from your lifting routine. Weigh yourself every morning. Keep protein high. Weigh yourself every morning. Record and adjust.

[@jonw3462]

Your muscles need sugar and carbs to survive, protein is also important. Be meticulous reading labels and note that most are purposely deceptive and state per 100ml/g or per quarter serving rather than whole product. Avoid all drinks but water and intermittent fasting will make a huge difference.
