You and I are going to drink a lot of coffee together. Like, borderline dangerous amounts of coffee.
So, first things first. Pour yourself a mug and I’ll introduce myself real quick.
My name’s Jordan - but everyone calls me “J” - and I’m a 27th degree black belt in chugging coffee.
I’m also strength & nutrition coach, I hold several powerlifting world records, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have my writing featured in a variety of outlets like CNN, the Huffington Post, and Schwarzenegger.com.
But listen.
This channel isn’t for fame, publicity, cash, props, fist bumps, likes, pings, pows or whatever else there is.
It’s a place where you and I can chat.
I’ll never sugar coat, lie, or beat around the bush. I’ll tell you everything exactly as I see it. Some stuff you might like. Others you might not.
And that’s totally cool.
Either way, my goal here is to create a discussion. A place where you and I can get together, exchange ideas, and motivate each other to be better every day.
Like I said, we’re gonna drink a lot of coffee together - borderline dangerous amounts - but I’m excited. Because there aren’t too many online communities in which the sole purpose is to inspire and motivate one another.
And that’s exactly what you and I are going to do here.
To your success,
-J

[@bortakiss]

so I was feeling all kinds of ways about my weight loss. This video made so much sense - I just shared it with everyone I know that is trying to lose fat. Really made me learn something here but more than that- I am feeling better about my own progress. I’m not going to freak out anymore. Thank you!

[@jordansyatt]

If you ask me, it's really hard to gain muscle and lose weight at the same time, but website called *Next Level Diet* is great for that. They also calculate your BMI and calorie intake for FREE and provide you with diet meal plan and training plan

[@joeschmoe8685]

​​@@jordansyatt The way you outlined all the causes of weight fluctuation is just brilliant. SO INFORMATIVE! I came up with an acronym that might be useful to some. SCALPELS (just the A is dormant) S...ALT C...ARBS A...? L...LATE MEAL P...OOP E...EARLY WEIGH-IN L...LIFTING S...TRESS

[@nataliefitzpatrick2665]

I just want to add, if you are a menstruating woman there is an additional cause. Ovulation and periods cause water retention in lots of woman, and swelling in some. Plot your cycle and match it up to your weight fluctuations. The result might surprise you!

[@warmlavender5525]

Yes! Midway through my period I always drop a bunch of weight lol

[@thenaturalyogi5934]

Always!!!

I wish I had seen this video five months ago when I started my weight loss journey. I’ve always been obese and on this particular day I woke up and decided I’m going to start going to the gym at 5 AM every morning and count calories and I’m gonna lose weight and be skinny and my life will be perfect. I cannot tell you how depressed and frustrated I was those first few months where the scale is barely moving. I had no understanding of how all these things affect weight. I just thought it was as simple as eat less and you’ll lose weight every day. I had to throw my scale in the trunk of my car to stop myself from obsessively weighing in every morning. I was driving myself crazy. But somehow through the disappointment and feelings of failure I’ve stuck to it and have lost 30 pounds in five months. It’s been slow but steady and I’m now realizing that’s what matters

[@emilypiersall9368]

I have a bad obsession of weighing myself every day too. I told my fiancé to hide the scale lol congrats on your journey I wish you the best!!

[@Fudgeey]

You're funny!! I think you forgot to mention hormones too, especially for us ladies. About a week before my period, I gain a significant amount of water weight. This last period, I dropped 7 pounds of water weight overnight, and I confirmed this amount with a scale in the morning and 9 trips to the bathroom all night.

[@jessicafitzpatrick5677]

Vic Flair yes, I gain so much “weight” on my period.

[@malaikasam2662]

So true, and on that note, I'd really like a video explaining the (female) hormone cycle w/ regards to food intake, weight fluctuations and also (if there are) training tips. E.g. in what ways the different tissues in the body are affected by hormone fluctuations, foods, training... Dont know how to better formulate my qstn :)

[@hannie.haneul]

Oh.... thanks for letting me know. Now I understand why the scale barely moves even though I eat much less.... it's that damn time of the month.

[@mancillado]

Malaika Sam check out the fitr woman app! There's also a Ted talk about it

[@Ashley-cr4ow]

Thank you really for saying this. The scale said I gained 3 pounds this week, but I’m pretty sure my period is coming soon.

[@tinacz3043]

You´re amazing how you put everything into words and into perspective. I lost 13 kg (just over 28 pounds) over the last 6 months while eating pizza, drinking full fat milk and having a social life (it still surprises me how many people think you can´t eat regular food when losing weight). I weighed myself every single morning and just like you, I fall mostly into the 'muggles beware' group :) I admit that I had a few panic attacks with these weight spikes, but most of the time I could work out what the reason was. And even when I couldn´t, I just kept going and I always knew the weight was going to fall off in the end - I kept losing about 2 - 3 kg every month). I am still losing some fat, but my main focus now is to gain more muscle to shape that butt (and everything else) and just to be happy and healthy. I just wish I found you earlier because I would have saved myself some panic attacks and would have laughed along with while watching your inspiring and entertaining videos. Great stuff, Jordan! Love you too ♥

This was right on time for me. I would get on the scale, cry and cuss if I hadn’t lost weight, and then BINGE to cover up my hurt feelings. This is why I can’t get past a 65lb weight loss. Instagram showing all of those people losing 100lbs in a year can be encouraging, yet discouraging. I was almost to the point of doing Keto, but think I’ll keep doing what I’m doing.

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy that makes me :) Thank you so much. Candidly, there hasn’t been any option like that thus far but we can chat about options via email if you’d like

[@shannonbillowsfitness]

There are so many reasons like you mentioned, that go into why the scale weight fluctuates. For most people, even if they know all the reasons can still be really frustrating. What I find is a great addition to weighing your self, is to weigh yourself daily, take the average, and only compare your averages. Now for some if you are weight training you can actually gain muscle at a surprisingly fast rate, so alongside taking your daily weight, also measure your waist weekly. For every 1 cm you drop off your waist is equivalent to 1 kg/2.2lbs of fat loss, or at least very very close to. The best practice is to do this same day same time each week preferably Thurs fri before the weekend when most people are social and eating different types of foods. Hope this little tip helps someone :)

I lost 100 lbs in 6 months and this month I only lost 2 . I'm trying to keep my head up cuz I know I cant lose another 100 lbs so my body has got to slow down a little bit lol. I watched this while working out and it made me feel better. I'm def the last style of losing weight .

[@MuhammadRehan-qh6di]

Yup see you lost 100lb from a body that had 100+lb to be lost...but now your body has lets say 10lb more to lose,then surely the rate will slow down

[@Ashley-cr4ow]

Me too, the first 2 weeks of my weight loss journey I maybe lost half a pound. On the third week, I “gained” 2 pounds. Then one day in the fourth week the scale dropped down 10 pounds. It’s crazy after watching this video and seeing it. The following 4 months the exact same trends. The scale never drops each week and actually gains by the third week. I think this is common for women too. Down 40 pounds in 5 months, got 60 to go.

I have been on point with each and every component of weight loss that you can conceptualize (calorie deficit, 7-8 hours of sleep, good amount of protein, 12k daily steps, strength training 5-6 days a week), and yet, I'm not losing any weight from the last one week. I have been beating myself up like crazy for not seeing any shift on the scale but this video has given me the hope to continue, persist, and remain patient.

[@sandyedwards2681]

This video is incredibly helpful. I don’t know why everyone isn’t talking about the process with ups and downs because it makes so much sense. I think about how many years I wasted being frustrated because I didn’t understand it. (I thought the only ups and downs were yo-yo dieting which I personally know is awful.). Thank you so much @Jordan for sharing your wisdom. 🙏

[@thinkingoutloud3757]

Agree that gains/stalls in weight doesn't mean you should stop, or that you're not making progress. Disagree that it doesn't potentially call for some adjustment. No acknowledgement of metabolic rate adapting to caloric deficit in an effort towards homeostasis. You could argue that you can still persist as-is, but if it's a metabolic slow-down, it can take months to give way, maybe longer.

[@chasechase24]

I've been inputting my weight every single day on a spreadsheet for a month now. Keeping it consistent with my workouts and nutrition (sometimes I have cheat meals).

Thanks for the explanation. My weight loss graph looks like yours (third graph). My cycle of weight loss is one day, it has a sharp drop after which it goes up again and stays up for 3 days, and then it goes down again, but this time a little lower than the first drop. I tend to look at the trend every 2 weeks, which is always lower, thus confirming I'm on the correct path. I suggest measuring your weight daily since it is a good motivational tool. However, the lower the body fat gets, the harder weight loss is going to get, which requires good consistency and a good plan.

I ditched Cole Robinson and his extreme crap. You’re a breath of fresh air! Thank you

Jordan saying "plateau" needs to become a meme lmfao

[@jordansyatt]

An Apple hahaha

Wow, the best video I've seen on this subject! For me the key to getting through this is to make sure you are getting positive feedback in other ways. Regardless of what the scale might say on a daily basis, eating healthier makes me feel better, walking an hour a day makes me feel better and my waistline is smaller.

My understanding of the cortisol impact is not water weight, but its impact on insulin. And therefore it can cause fat gain because insulin is involved in fat storage.

Thank you so much for that video! Logically, I know everything you have said but it is always good to be reminded that what is happening to me is normal. I will be watching this again when I start to whine about the next stall. Love you! 😃💜🦄

Rose Spector hahah good, Rose!!!! Love you :)

Guy is a genius , so much sense. I won't give up and he is the reason. Thanks a ton Jordan

[@maisarahtarmuzi4409]

Im glad that i found your video!! I just started to freak out seeing weight going up and down and up again😭 but now im cool. Just need to keep going on what ive been doing. So informative. Love it 😊

[@purplespark8]

Same. I've been on the same weight (average) for 2.5 weeks now and was wondering if I'm doing things right

[@gailbarrington1217]

Oh my god dude. Great great information but the “plateau” had me spewing my coffee

[@fateenibrahim3423]

This is a really great video! As a person that weighs herself everyday, i also saw the patterns you showed here but am very very fortunate that I noticed the trends early enough to not make myself lose the motivation when I was seriously trying to lose fat. This is a great educational video, because I sure wish I saw this when I was trying to lose weight years ago but just couldnt do it right! I was just impatient

[@Scotty_Heh]

3rd time watching this. Just need this reminder every once in a while

[@Tyler_Hodges]

Im def the 3rd one. I always track daily but have just started a secondary tracking once a week. Best of both worlds.

[@karicampos4133]

I thought that was a picture of an ice cream with a cherry on top 🤣🤣🤣 (I'm glad I found this video, I asked you on IG yesterday and I'm glad I remembered to come on here on finally watch it)

[@jordansyatt]

So glad this helped :)

[@ireneflowers]

LOVE your videos, Jordan. The quality and the amount of useful knowledge you give to us with everything you do is PRICELESS. Really, and I wanted to thank you because I feel so, so, so grateful for having found you on Instagram a couple of days ago. I have been reading your articles and doing your Powerlifting for Fat Loss 30 day challenge and I have also challenged myself to maintain my calorie deficit for 90 days. I feel that you're my friend haha, so, again, thank you. I cannot even imagine all the effort and work you put give so much to us! 💗

[@jordansyatt]

Irene Flores Campos thank you, Irene! Keep me posted with your progress!!!!

[@juliannalin19]

Thank you so much- I needed this. Was pissed off all month why the unexplained 7 lb weight gain and yet my body fat on the calipers is still the same?!! I kept changing my macros and yet I was still gaining weight. I didn’t allow enough time after each macro change to see a difference. I’m going to watch your videos every time I hit a wall so I don’t flip out and make a change out of stress and impatience.

[@Shum420]

Such a great video. Needed this today because I’ve been on a “plateau“ for 3 weeks and while I know to just trust the process, I needed something to really hammer it home.

[@Browneyegirl_13]

I love your videos ...I've been in the fitness industry for 33 years and did a few body building competitions...and your facts on weight loss versus fat loss is spot on....a good thing to do to track your progress is to do weekly measurements as well...its always nice to listen to someone who knows what he's talking about.....thank you for posting such informative videos
