Makes me want to lose fat immediately

[@3cardmonty602]

I lost 150lbs by going low carb. My only exercise was casually walking my dog 8 doors down and back every day. I went from 321lbs to 170lbs. I have kept the weight off for 5 years now. I tried all kinds of diets, but the only diet that works for me is a low carb diet. It’s a good thing I lost the weight because last year at age 62 I required Open Heart Surgery to replace my aortic valve. My valve had gotten damaged by endocarditis at sometime during my lifetime. I don’t know when or how, but my surgeon suspects I had Strep throat at some point in my life and that probably caused it. I had a 5mm hole in a leaflet of my bicuspid aortic valve. I’m lucky to be alive. I wish you’d do a video on endocarditis one day. Or on what a strep throat infection can lead to.

I think it's why so many find success with frequent walking and low net carb diets.

I lost about 25 pounds over the last 2 years, simply by going to the gym and doing cardio and weight machines consistently. I didn't do intense exercises, just went to the gym consistently. Lots of socializing there (I'm retired now), but I found that going 3-5 days a week made it easier to mix it up and never get bored. I was also doing a lot of walking, until the heat of the summer months prevented that. I still need to lose about 15 more pounds to my first goal, but I'll get there. My BMI went from 36 to now 30. Seeing the difference between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat really explains how important diet and exercise really affects the body. P.S. My cholesterol and triglycerides are very good now, my A1C is normal, and I haven't eaten "junk food" and sodas for about 10 years. Of course, I'm still a sweet tooth lover of baked items, but everything in moderation and again, consistent trips to my gym helps.

[@wallaceluna6241]

If you want a lil tip for losing weight. Idk if you drink soda's/Carbonated drinks much. But if you have man boobs. It's because of carbonation intake. Typically. Cut out sugary drinks and carbonations all together and you'll lose your man boobs without even having to do much. When I first went on my weight loss journey I didn't drink any sodas or carbonated drinks, I still drank monsters, but converted over to Teas because well I liked the sweetness still obviously. Was craving it. Cut my food intake down as well. Soft counting caloric intake. Taking in more protein heavy stuff with less calories. Nuts are very good for this. You'll feel fully but hungry all at once. Most of my weight dropped very quickly once I cut out the sodas N junk food. I then plateaued around like 220's for awhile. starting working a physically demanding job and I was around 190's for a solid while. Could do one arm pull-ups with both arms. Lift 80 pounds regularly no effor for 10-14 hr days. When I went out for surgery on my hand I dropped to 170. Lost around 20 pounds of muscle.

Calories are not only burned during exercise but also during recovery. By working harder you gain the benefit of requiring more energy for recovery. The body doesn't choose either carbs or fat, but a mix of both, unless you have hit and passed "the wall" when no free glucose is left in the bloodstream.

Exercise is an investment that has been proven my many NASM approved studies that offsets chronic illness and disease. On top of that if you start with a habit that leaves you feeling good and accomplished while also building muscle (which in turns raises your RMR which boosts fat loss) you will find success.

First of all, I wanna say that I've discovered this channel about a month ago and I just cannot stop watching! Thanks guys, the knowledge you share here are very high quality, and you help a lot of people understand a lot of topics that once were somewhat difficult, you are awesome!! So, I'm gonna bring something to discuss here, see if I can get to a better understanding: about four years I've made a program of nutrition and exercise with a Dietitian and I was introduced to intermittent fasting (I did in a way I was already kind of used to, which I had 8-10h without food and it was during nighttime, as so the moment I was sleeping) but the point is that I was instructed to break the fast primarly with fat source food (generally from "good" sources) and so the dietitian explained to me (I'm just gonna simplify here) that over time, if I kept breaking fast with "fat", my body would build the structure to use the fat more easily to produce energy, and so at some point, it would start using the fat that was already in my body to burn into energy for the muscles, decreasing my body fat % faster. I wanna know if this realy apply biologically (without going into the discussion if is intermittent fast is bad or good) and if this brings any real results. I can't tell if it worked for me, because I've always had high volume of physical activity, so I mantained BF% ok levels, also the pandemics happened and I stopped attending the program.

The saggy skin and whether or not it returns to "normal" looking skin will also depend on age and genetics, not just diet, though I'd like to say a good, non-processed food, healthy diet is the best thing to do. At one point in my Lupus process, I had a bout of myositis, where my immune system attacked (was destroying) all my muscle tissue everywhere. I lost about 35% of my muscle mass, and my skin became very crepe-y. My skin has never been the same since. I will not be able to recover the muscle I lost either, but it's part of the condition that remains from the myositis. In your husband's case, it's probably a matter of time, a good, healthy, diet (no need for draconian measures! Have a treat sometimes!), and continue exercising. Good health and a healthy relationship with your weight is a life style. The word "diet" should disappear from your lives' vocabulary, and a balanced approach to life should be what guides not just your plate but everything, really. His skin will take care of itself. ❤

How long is my fasting? etc. Out: What can I do to burn calories? Is there a sport that I like? Can I find some hard labor in my (or any) garden to help me burn calories? etc. I'm now 51, 198cm and went from 118kg and 25% body fat to 95kg and 14% body fat over the last 4 years. But it's a change of life style, never just a diet. It always starts easy, than it's hard in the middle. Now it's easy to maintain my weight and my fat percentage.

[@justinjennings9840]

So long as you are not insulin resistant i.e. metabolic dysfunction which is 88% of the adult pop in the USA. Insulin and moreover glucagon are resisted along with leptin and other hormones. The fat cells don't work part of the system - they are rogue. The scientific jury is still out as to the direction of causation i.e. does obesity cause insulin resistance or the other way around or both (if you see my logic). It's possible to be diabetic and be lean looking. Sugar is the main culprit as it fucks with insulin - other carbs aid and abet and naturally its about calorie intake too. In fact, a little known fact is the combo of eating fat and carbs (most processed food) bypasses the metabolic hormonal pathway and directly contributes to fast weight gain. In nature, milk was the only culprit which makes sense as thats intended purpose in infants. Point is, the calories in and out equation is too simplistic to the point of being myopic. Fat folk don't eat much more and are internally starving. It's not a case of sloth and greed. It took me years of study to arrive at this conclusion.

Its so much harder to do this kind of work at 39-40 with a whole family and work as opposed to when youre in your 20s with more free time. Ive done most of my fat loss by being in a caloric deficit and i started walking. Then I moved to indoor cycling and now i road bike. Biking is just incredible for cardio. Easy on joints.

Thank you. That was very informative. When I had a personal trainer he always started me off with cardio then weights (this was for weight loss and muscle definition) He would refer to my fat burning zone while doing cardio and I was told to stay between a certain number. I listened but never understood why. He just said it was the fat burning zone. So interesting!!

[@TojiFushigoroWasTaken]

Actually i found that this is a very bad way to gain muscle or lose fat. I did this for an year and saw no difference in weight or my physique. What i found out was high intensity cardio has a suppression effect on mtor the most powerful stimulus to build muscle and doing it at the beginning will make you deplete most of your glycogen stores making you have less energy to go till failure. However if you switch this up (weight training and then cardio) your muscles will take aprox 1 hour to burn via that glycogen stores and switch to triglycerides for fuel. This is done in a gradual manner so you wont even feel the drop in energy. Plus at the end when you do cardio like walking on an incline most of the cals you will burn will be from fat as your body aldready switched to this source of fuel I got this info from a guy and honestly didn't believe it myself first but he was experienced and preping for a boxing match and i could see him get leaner for abt 2 months while he did this (he honestly got too lean but still packed some serious musculature)(he did like 2 hrs of weight training and 20 mins of cardio at the end)

[@michelleelle4622]

@@joshgroban5291 when we did it, it was always before working with weights so I guess it would be considered a warm up 🤷🏼‍♀️ It was about 20 minutes. Elliptical, treadmill or stairstepping machine. Just enough to get my blood moving and my heart pumping before weights. All the machines (except the stair stepper from hell) had heart rate monitors so I just tried to stay in the area he told me. It was hard to keep my heartbeat down at first. The more I did it, the more my heart got used to it. When I first started 5 minutes on the elliptical had me about dying due to the burn. That was on low intensity. At the end I was able to do 1 hour at the highest intensity. It wasn’t easy but I was able to do it and did it many times. I would always have to be very careful coming off the machine because there were times my muscles were so worn out I would just drop because they gave out on me. ALWAYS take a minute or so to make sure you can safely get off if you experience burning in your muscles. It’s like they know how to move because they have been doing it for an hour but when you stop they have no idea what’s going on and plop, down ya go 🤣 Start off slowly but push yourself a bit. Don’t just stop when you feel a burn… go for just 30 seconds longer, then another 30 seconds…. When working out and wanting to give up it’s much easier to just tell yourself “I only have 30 more seconds” Heck, I’d do increments of 10 seconds sometimes. Just ten seconds… keep going… I did it! 10 more seconds! That got my brain through the roughest parts. A lot of the reason we stop is what we say to ourselves. Tell yourself that you did it for 5 full HORRIBLE minutes and COMPLETED IT! Who cares if it’s only 5 minutes? Next time, you will do 5 minutes plus 10 seconds just to prove to yourself that you CAN and DID do it. The brain is a powerful thing. Starting is the hardest part, the first couple weeks will be difficult just to maintain but after that, your body somehow learns to enjoy going 👍🏼 I do not currently work out so I’m also struggling with the “get started” part. AGAIN 🤦🏼‍♀️

A skin fold test can give you a surprisingly good ballpark estimate of your subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat also seems to make the thorax and stomach areas "harder" compared to the squishy soft subcutaneous fat. Ever hug a barrel chested dude and it feels like you just ran into a brick wall when you expected a Santa Clause bowl full o' jello? Odds are good there is more visceral fat there in that case.

It's not about the percentage of fat vs carbs burned, it's about the fact that if you burn carbs you WILL BE HUNGRY. That means you will eat more and not be in a caloric deficit. That's the whole point of zone 2 training, you don't feel hunger after that.

Though higher intensity exercise will burn more fat overall, these exercises are also much more grueling. Thus, you might have a hard time sticking to your exercise plan because you don't enjoy doing it as much as lighter exercises like brisk walking or light jogging.

I love how you really get in depth into the details of explanations and the carefulness by which you clearly value correct information and avoid misinformation. The general friendly and sincere attitude by which the information is presented makes it enjoyable as well as educational (why was it never like that when I went to school!? ;) ). The best way for me to burn fat I found was to bike on a fitness bike in my home for like an hour, mixing in a bit of high intensity intervals when I felt like it, but otherwise just biking away to some nice music or even to a movie, just with the pulse up not too high but still so I'd be sweating somewhat. Even without music or movie it's still really enjoyable, for some reason I don't get anywhere near the same motivation from biking in the real world, so the fitness bike in the home really has done the trick for me. I combined this with an intermittent 16/8 fasting and I'll do the biking in the last hour of the fasting. During this stage I figure that my body would already be lacking carbs more and so it seems logical to me that I would then be burning more fat in this hour than if I had eaten some time before it. The energy for the workout has to come from somewhere and if I haven't eaten anything there's really only the fat to take from. The days where I don't bike I do some weight training and boxing on a bag instead. Currently im on day 45 and I lost 10 kilos while I can visibly see also my muscles have become larger so my conclusion is I must have lost more than 10 kilos of fat, most is probably that pesky visceral fat inside my belly (I look, or rather I LOOKED, a bit like those grey thin alien with the bulgy bellies and thin chest/arms/legs). I also generally feel way more comfortable in my body, I feel physical comfort and I am attributing it to a natural consequence of working out sufficiently regularly, but perhaps probably the fasting has something to say here too. Im convinced the long mostly medium intensity exercise for an hour and the intermittent fasting is extremely helpful in burning fat. It's not long now that I don't think I need to actively lose more fat, so I can start to maybe decrease the fasting period a little, maybe to 15 or 14 hours, and then start eating more during the 9-10 hour feeding window.

[@davecooper360]

You will feel much better, see progress over time and it’s all just by making it sustainable!

[@livvielov]

This channel makes me love exercise! I always think about what's happening to my body when doing different types of exercise and it's so motivating

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

Weights and interval training are my go-to exercises. Love it!

One word: Ketosis. That it takes a while for fat to be processed to ATP isn't a problem if you're exercising with aerobic activities, mostly cardio. With high intensity weight training that is a very short intense anaerobic activity, then it will be a problem. That's why getting carbs when you're weight training will make you perform better. But for losing fat, ketosis and doing cardio are very good. High intensity weight training doesn't even burn that many calories so weight training isn't that effective for fat loss. What I also don't understand is that this video mainly focusses on exercise, while diet is WAY more important for fat loss. Sayings like ''abs are made in the kitchen'' exist for a reason. Your macro's are very important when it comes to weight loss. There's for example nothing here about the effect of more protein on your metabolism to name an example. If you want to lose fat, change your diet, exercise is supplementary.

Hahaha this is some dunning Kruger effected response Yes keto works because you are in deficit that's it, that's all there is Weight loss and fat loss is different FYI so you deficit in carbs will drop you water levels with in your body So when you eat then you gain 2 or 3kg back of weight, not fat, weight Just because you gain or lose weight doesn't mean you gain slash lose weight There a lot of misconceptions that these summaries of keto is better for fat loss add to the weight loss information pull I hate it with a passion Stop spreading bs

This is really cool to know. My boyfriend and I did a test to check overall health, and despite being quite a fit looking guy, his results came back with high cholesterol and blood pressure, and watching this now, I've realised it's because he could have a substantial amount of visceral fat. Very cool to finally understand, thank you. 👏

[@Hertz2laugh]

It's called being a TOFI - thin outside, fat inside. Fastest and safest way to eliminate visceral fat is to keep your daily total carb intake to less than 20 grams. Look into Dr. Sean O'Mara; he specializes in visceral fat.

[@Notinserviceij]

​@reaplays8851 oh stfu cares got nothing to do with it Both fats and carbs get turn into glycogen Some people just store more visceral fat than others If you eat a well balanced diet and do at least the minimum recommended fitness regime then you'll be okay This no carb bullsh*t is mislead horsesh*t Stop reaching believing so hard in something because your group of people you idolise push it

[@jafaralhuseini3899]

I too had just done blood tests, and being a fairly active/lean guy. I too have elevated cholesterol levels. Yes i admit i ate alot less regulated the last few months and skipped a few workouts but was still in the gym atleast 3 times a week and still have higher than average cholesterol. I believe it is more about making diet changes than exercise changes. Hope your boyfriend finds ways to lower his bp and cholesterol.

[@Hertz2laugh]

@@jafaralhuseini3899 High cholesterol is not a problem. Ask your doctor to provide you with just one scientific study that shows that high cholesterol is causes heart disease. They won't be able to show you any (because there are none). Cholesterol being bad is one of the biggest medical myths of all time.

[@harryr9729]

Great video. Regarding the type of exercise to loose fat, you mention all the different athletes and how they have minimal fat. Important thing to notice is many of them will use running, HIIT, cardio as an exercise to stay fit. Most will use running. Obviously, the easiest way is to eat healthy - calories in, calories out.

[@SpamMouse]

People with a LOT of excess fat should not run, apart from the strain on the heart they will destroy their knees. Loose fat with keto then get fit.

[@katarh]

@@SpamMouse There are a lot of lower impact options that are much more gentle that can still burn a ton of calories. Swimming is excellent for someone who is obese and has joint problems, because the water provides the buoyancy they need to support their weight outside of the joints, and it adds resistance against the muscles to move. I have a bad hip so my doctor doesn't want me to run, but she said the elliptical is fine as a cardio option, and I lift a lot of heavy weights instead.

[@SpamMouse]

@@katarh Agreed, my point exactly.

[@flightTime123]

The most important thing is taking in less energy than our body uses. Exercising in addition to a calorie deficit is vital as to not lose significant bone and muscle mass, but that is the primary source of weight loss

[@him050]

11:35 amen! I run about 20km a week and also do 4 weightlifting workouts a week. I just do a standard Chest, back, legs, and shoulders split. So many people tell me how sub optimal my weight training is and how I should be doing multiple body parts per session and training everything twice a week. But I don't care, I love the workouts I do and that's what keeps me consistent. If I was doing some amazing programme that utilised loads of dynamic exercises to hit everything and that, I just know I wouldn't enjoy it. Too many people think that sub optimal is synonymous with pointless. When in reality doing a sub optimal workout is infinitely better than doing no workout.

[@rainbowtropolis]

On the same line of losing fat, could you cover in another video why our skin doesn't shrink back as well when we lose fat when we're older? Thanks!

[@Pauliesha]

I would think that it has alot to do with Protein/collagen.

[@SpamMouse]

There are videos elsewhere that talk about this in detail, the cure is prolonged fasting. But to do that you need to study Keto.

[@EhurtAfy]

It's almost entirely loss of collagen/elastin in the skin. Around 90% of visible skin aging is sun damage, the remainder is basically loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. Hydrolyzed collagen supplements are basically the main way to improve that. Retinol and hyaluronic acid serums also work but most people don't apply those to their bodies, usually just face and visible skin. Sunscreen don't forget

[@rainbowtropolis]

@@SpamMouse I already lost the weight, just have the saggy skin left over.

[@SpamMouse]

@@rainbowtropolis Yes, I understand that. You are now in a phase of body repair. If surgery is not an option (I would avoid that myself.) then the spare skin will be reduced with good protein as mentioned above (Collagen) but less food so your body needs to recycle the extra skin it will otherwise be supplying with blood and otherwise maintaining. Include body toning exercise.

[@stevesideris8364]

With the recent interest in GLP-1 agonists for weight loss, it would be interesting if you guys talked about how they work.

[@mobashirmallick0786]

Glucagon like peptide 1 agonists basically enhance the production of glucose dependent Insulin , so that the carbohydrates you consume don't just stay in your blood stream ( I.e in diabetics whose pancreas produce less insulin / whose body has become resistant to insulin ) & the carbohydrates (glucose) can be uptake by the different cells of the body via Glucose transporters , this is the mechanism in Diabetics , however GLP 1 also leads to delayed gastric emptying leading to decreased appetite & feeling satiated for a longer period of time post meal , hence leading to consumption of fewer calories & thus resulting in weight loss.

[@Pit_1209]

Just like @mobashirmallick0786 said. In the end it's just a matter of eating less, like it always has been.

[@TheRyndiculous]

​@@Pit_1209definitely not that simple lol

[@Pit_1209]

@@TheRyndiculous it's exactly that, consume a low calorie intake in regards to your needs and you will lose weight. Now you want to be "fit"? Totally different. The problem sometimes is that people don't understand the part about calorie intake and almost always think that they're eating much less that what it is, specially now that eating junk food as snacks is not "eating" and even a simple walk can be considered exercise

Hi Doc! I'm desperate to learn about Neuropathy, and how best to treat it. I began Chemo in Nov 2022, and was warned that Neuropathy could result as a side-effect ... and so it has. I have it in both feet, mainly at the tops closest to the toes and on all sides, and also, believe it or not, all around the skin covering my belly area. OUCH! 😝 It's worse at night than during the day. THANKSSSS in anticipation. 🙏👌🤭😁

[@chesswithsagar]

Slow pace running is good for reducing fat but exercise with high heart rate is good to burn carbs I.e. to build up muscles.

[@munroegarrett]

Can fat loss be stimulated simply from a higher heart rate or does there need to be a corresponding metabolic demand? For example, can you worry away your adipose tissue?

[@jordanslingluff287]

Most overweight people have higher resting heart rates than skinnier people. If that answers your question. Andrew Huberman had a podcast about fat. One of these studies he brought up was centered around fidgety people. People who say bounce their legs for example. There was one individual that was burning between 800-2500 calories. The high side of that is an insane amount of movement. But a little extra movement can go a long way.

[@kathleenking47]

Worry away 🤣🤣🤣? We wish SOME stress causes cortisol Which shuts down, fat burning

[@jordanslingluff287]
