If You Want To LOSE WEIGHT, Do THIS First - 1784 (Listener Live Coaching)

[@eevert76]

Several years ago I went through a phase losing weight through doing the insanity videos I was literally doing 2 workouts a day on 1,100 calories and hit a major plateau that I could not get out of, then someone suggested I start lifting weights I got a macro calculator bumped my calories up to 2,000, started lifting 4 days a week with no cardio and lost all kinds of weight. I was so amazed literally everything you're saying happened to me by accident I was completely surprised at how it work by the time I was done I was eating 2300 calories and working out 3 times a week and feeling wonderful. The things you guys preach or exactly one hundred percent correct all the time. Thank you so much for what you do

[@rudypena615]

For me it’s opposite! I’m on an almost 7 month plateau from lifting weights, started eating less and Doing more cardio now im loosing weight. It’s so frustrating. I lost 100 pounds in less than 9 months though But i want to drop at least 30 pounds more, good luck to you!

[@skurt2752]

@@rudypena615 have you readjusted your calories after losing 100lbs or are you still eating the same amount?

[@Escanor89]

@@rudypena615 one flip of the coin is to always listen to your body, doing pictures at the morning after I went to the toilet motivated me to improve constantly and to listen to my body. I started running again just 1 time a week for 30 minutes, the other time I am doing 3 Full Body Workouts per week and tweaked little things which helped me tremendous for example: Parking a little further away from anything - work/shopping/visiting someone I walk to work from my car for like 30 minutes a day five times a week this is literally a little cardio session and bet on my words: you´re way faster on the way back because you wanna go home haha. The other thing is, I looked at my portion size of my meals and ate for like 3 people, now I eat a bunch more of veggies drinking two protein shakes a day as a snack between my three meals and I´m growing back to the body I used to have when I was like 24. (32 at the moment) I am loving It! Tweak everything you can, even and maybe most important, your sleep! I wake up to noice so easily that I sleep with ohropax and since then I am sleeping like a rock for 7-9 hours a day. All the best, we´re all gonna make It!

[@juanmartinez4506]

"Shawn T startn to sweat!"

The reason why this worked is because your boby became less stressed over the cardio, you added a new stimulus :) and your metabolism ramped up :) awesome

I currently am a weight loss coach at a clinic & they have high success rates with the low calorie diet. However, the number one concern I hear from clients is that it’s not sustainable. , Mindpump speaks the facts, AGAIN!!!

[@maeganrae]

Listening to you guys have changed my view on lifestyle & fitness for the rest of my life, I now have no problem weighing myself on the scale because I've learned from u guys that these numbers are so arbitrary in the long-term journey of health and longevity -- and this is a really big win for me who has had body dysmorphia for a long time. Love you guys and keep preaching the truth of fitness

[@daveo1081]

I’ll argue that mind pump is THE BEST fitness podcast all day. I started at 150 a month ago and now I’m 18 , 5’9, 155 lbs at 16% body fat after a month of lifting. Im going to get maps anabolic and start my coaching career when I reach 170! Im so privileged to have you guys as I go along my journey You guys bring a lot of value to the space. Thx 🙏🏾 and wish me luck

Sal’s ability to change shirts in the blink of an eye in this episode is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. SUPER-SAL

[@sandyorange]

I've just crossed the first 3 months of lifting and I've seen my muscles developing in my thighs and arms so I decided to cut my calories bit by bit and god damn the weight really just started going off just like that... So glad I've been tuning in to these guys since I started 3 months ago. All their advices worked so well for me :D

[@rudypena615]

If you saw muscles growing May I ask why did you cut calories?

[@lynettegaul5795]

Thank you all so much for the essential information you present. The most difficult thing as a women is to accept that losing weight is not the main reason to work out. Improved overall health, increasing muscle mass, and improving flexibility are the results that keep you motivated. I appreciate that you include tips and information that takes into consideration the needs of your viewers that are female. Mind Pump is a leader and one of the very best on KZbin.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Can’t tell you how much time you’ve saved me on my weight loss journey with knowledge like this. I’ve been listening for nearly 6 months and down 20 pounds + stronger in the gym in all key lifts!! LOVE MIND PUMP

[@carmelabiso5597]

As a girl, it has always been intimidating for me to go to the gym because it has always felt like a man's world. But after your encouragement to open the gym to absolutely everybody, it gave me the confidence to start. Now Im finishing my 2nd month in the gym, going there 4x a week, feeling more confident and stronger than before. I can see that this lifestyle will definitely be for long term and I owe a lot of it to you guys.

[@fantasyjoe2771]

Good for you, keep it up

[@ranjitsagoo]

02:14 - Sal is right about increasing calories to lose weight! I've been low carb'ish for a while trying to lose fat, and it was working but I had to keep cutting to get lower and lower, but this affected my mood, my workouts and just feeling tired. I decided to increase by carbs, and calories have only gone up by about 200. I feel better, workouts are better. My weight went up initially (that was the hard bit) and is now slowly going down and carbs make up 35-40% of my macros, with my protein arond 30%. Feeling stronger as well!

[@alliemilitky517]

I have got stronger and am committed to this journey, let the weight loss (cut phase) begin! loving the nutrition pod casts lately ... I am needing these right now.

[@mogwaimonster75]

Mindpump, for me, is the most helpful fitness channel. I love how they encourage us to have this peaceful relationship with food and our body. I've lost about 15kg and feel SO MUCH better. I was on a cardio focused routine everyday and eating 1000 calories. I was always so worried about my weight, checking 2-3 times a day. I cannot thank you enough for changing my life. Now I train for strength without exhausting myself (i enjoy it), im getting stronger and I eat about 2000 calories A DAY. I listen to the podcast even while I'm at the gym 😅

[@edwarddaou9941]

I started at 182 pounds:now I’m stronger & solid at 201 pounds all because of mind pump 💪🏽

[@andylowry1759]

This is the best advice for anyone wanting to get in shape. It is encouraging whether you’re overweight or skinny to start feeling and seeing your ability to lift more weight easier and that will jumpstart your fitness journey towards your goals. Lift safe but strengthen your body and build muscle because muscle will burn more than fat so you will be replacing that fat with muscle like you said in the beginning so the scale may not move much and you will need more carbs to fuel those harder workouts. I’ve been contemplating getting back into personal training but have yet to break some mental block. I love health and fitness and am always trying to learn more about it but I’m working a full time job and am afraid of risking the transition. I’ve trained before in the past but I was a young wildling battling addiction and lost my job so that may have something to do with the fear aspect but have since gotten my life together with 8 years clean, partially thanks to health and fitness, and I feel I would really enjoy helping people reach their goals as well.

This was a great video for me. I was starting to feel this shit is taking too long. Actually I always feel like that😃. I have lost 2” from my waist since starting Anabolic in January. My training was interrupted by a ski trip and a 2 week recovery period. I just finished phase 1 and I feel great. My weight has pretty much stayed the same. Which honestly is super annoying. Such a mental mind F@#$&. I’m 55 so like the 45 year old guy I want to continue to be able to ski at a level that can easily get me hurt, and like the 71 year old I want to function as an independent, strong human.

[@crowneproductions9908]

My anecdote with muscle building and weight loss: about 18 months ago I decided I wanted to start bodybuilding. I had been a regular weight relatively healthy dude for most my life (mostly just a healthy weight not so much into fitness). So I bought some weights (Used Olympic set to start and then added dumbbells later) and went to work on 5x5 for about the first 6-7 months. In that time I decided to pay no attention to diet. I had used dieting over the years to stay at a healthy weight but the only thing I decided to do was make sure I was getting 150-200g of protein. Calories be damned! In those first 6-7 months I packed on about 35lbs of fat (mostly) and muscle. I got real strong in comparison to where I started but as the scale was pushing 210lbs (im 5 foot 9inches) I started to realize I had really let myself go when it came to fat gain, despite the strength gains. So I turned it around. I left 5x5 for a more standard split routine focusing on hypertrophy training and begin tracking calories. I started at 2000 and lost about 15lbs right way over 3-4 weeks. It slowed down a bit but I kept losing. I decided to periodically increase calories. I’m now back down to around 185lbs and I eat about 2600 calories per day and I’m still losing weight (slowly) on my way down to 180lbs. I think the amazing part is that I’m glad I beefed up to 210lbs and focused just on strength and muscle building. I think that gave me that runway you guys are talking about to go ahead and cut weight after. I’m eating fat more calories per day right now and still losing about half a pound a week then I ever could have back before my weight and strength gains. There was a time where I would eat about 1500-1800 calories a day before I started weight lifting just to maintain weight. Love how much food I can eat and continue to build muscle and not get fat. Building a muscular body really does seem to be the key to long term fat burning.

[@mcfarvo]

Almost all weight loss plateaus are explained by 1) inaccurate estimates/measures of CI & CO and 2) most of the "metabolic adaptation" is a reduction in NEAT/SPA (whereas decline in BMR/RMR, TEF, & EAT are marginal and more easily accounted for). The reason more "conservative" energy deficits work better in the long-term is it attenuates all of the psycho-physiological effects of weight loss such that someone is less likely to give up. Why did the Biggest Losers often gain it all back? They didn't learn the skills or mindset to change their lifestyles, they were externally motivated by a temporary fantasy land with a carrot at the end of the stick, both of which were removed when they went home.

You have to pump your mind for this, it is 💯 correct and very difficult to understand but I’ve just gone through it and am now eating more and building muscle, it’s still possible to lose the weight first as long as you are doing some weight training as well then when you eventually reach your plateau you can start to put on the muscle for real but it takes longer this way.
