Hey Josh I've always loved cooking and have been a subscriber for a long time. Recently I took your advice and started working in the culinary industry. It was a real leap of faith but so far I have loved every minute of it. I am so grateful for you because without your advice I may not have done it. Thank you so much!

[@PhoTC]

Hey y'all - make sure you listen to your doctor too. It might come up later but it didn't at cardio - walking is fine. If I went jogging for 40, I would likely pass out. my brother almost died - remember that your have a different body. You might have some stuff going on - I had to get a full cardio clearance to just start walking at a brisk pace for an hour. Everyone is different. Don't go 0-60 immediately, what worked for Josh looks amazing and he's giving great advice, but just gotta throw in the doc part.

[@Daphoid]

Also going 0-60 generally means that you won't stick with it, unless you are super super dedicated and focused. And if you're not, even if the internet would judge you (who cares?), take it slow. Do a little bit every day. Make little changes. I don't put sugar in my tea, I don't drink pop, I drink juice but diluted like 90/10 water to juice (I try it straight every now and then and it's like syrup), etc. I can certainly move more, and snack less - but it's all a journey, not a 0-60 instant transformation.

[@Z3roSh0t]

One other point, you CAN skip dedicated cardio, but to do that you need to take much shorter rests between sets of weights (like, 30-60sec max rest time between sets). Usually means going a bit lighter weight for more reps, but you don't hurt muscle growth by doing that. Just make sure you don't over-work a muscle group too much, and yes, please see a doctor about a full physical & cardio exam before you start any kind of intense exercise program, especially if you're starting significantly overweight or have a family history.

[@djoscartj]

I actually not allowed to run (by doctor's instructions) because of the impact it causes on my neck/cervical spine. Walking and stairs are my only option, so I felt a bit alienated by that comment from Josh. I know it takes more time to burn the same amount of calories as running, but it will save my neck.

[@40sgoingonfit]

I started jogging at the age of 40. I used the couch to 5k app to get me started. Now im up to 1.5 to 2 miles in one go. It was a slow and steady (and frustrating) work.

Since i first did the weight loss i've gone up to 200lbs and back down to 170lbs twice in the past three years. I'm currently back up to 190 and starting my cut again.

I was nearly 400 pounds back in March. I am now nearly 300 pounds. From my experience, diet is 85% workout is 15%. If you diet rigidly you WILL lose weight. If you workout but eat like garbage you won't lose weight. If you are starting out bigger, and the exercise is freaking you out. Literally don't work out for the first 6 months while you are dieting. You will shed all the blubber and after 6 months you will be craving the gym. That's how it worked for me at least. Thanks for the vid Josh. Edit: DO NOT TRACK MACROS IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS YOU WILL GO INSANE

[@Chevsilverado]

Yeah working out will help you retain muscle and strength while dieting. A couple hundred calories a day doesn’t mean much when a granola bar offsets that. But when you’re done cutting you end up with a strong healthy body rather than a malnourished one. I guess you could say that by doing weights your calorie deficit goes more towards fat loss rather than muscle loss, which is what basically everyone wants even if both strategies lose the “same” weight on the scale.

[@MindyTunnell]

​@@Chevsilverado we lift in a calorie deficit to keep muscle loss at bay. Sure you'll gain a bit of muscle. But we do it to KEEP the muscle we have. Cardio/steps for heart health.

I’m a year into my full is recomp and honestly this video popping up is something I really needed. I’ve been feeling really defeated the last few weeks. My results are happening slow. Would really love more videos like this!

[@patrickhogan9536]

Much respect dude. Over the last year and a half I dropped, 45lbs, holidays hit and I put back on 35lbs. Still working on it, but seeing this is a good motivator and reminder that we're all going through it one way or another.

[@peppr115]

Omg, how did you manage to put on 35 pounds during the holidays? No disrespect, I honestly think that is impressive. I can't even get over 2,000 calories anymore without feeling sick. Either way, good luck on your weight journey.

Papa so happy so see you grow🥲💪 Also may we have some more recipes, thank you for all the advice💪

[@Vandel212]

Awesome work getting shredded! One thing worth mentioning (or emphasizing if you already said it) is the exercise is only necessary if you want to build muscle. If your goal is only to make the number on the scale go down, you only need to focus on the diet. You'll just be losing fat and muscle instead of mostly fat if you are resistance training.

[@steveno7058]

If you don’t exercise you risk slowing your metabolism. Getting skinny fat isn’t the goal

[@Vandel212]

@@steveno7058 Could you provide sources to studies that have researched that? I would imagine that's only the case if you go on a crazy diet. If you lose half a pound a week or so with reasonable macros I think your metabolism will be just fine.

Joshua you are doing a great job. Keep going and keep doing it for yourself. Appreciate your journey and glad to see you inspiring people to be slightly better than yesterday.

You can ALWAYS count on there being negative comments online. A literal miracle can occur on video and it'll get negative comments. I've learned to grow thicker skin.

[@Ach7ven]

I haven't watched the video yet.. but is he being fully transparent about ozempic? It's okay, but just let people know so his viewers aren't trying to achieve what he did without the ozempic help.

[@akielstraker]

​​@@Ach7venwild how despite how he made a whole video about his journey, you want to assume he's on ozempic, a drug you probably had never even heard of even 6 months ago yourself, because of your own biases. You seem smart.

[@Ach7ven]

@@akielstraker lol ozempic became big right around the time he started losing weight.. he made the video because it makes him money. Like I said: it's fine that he's on it, but be honest about it. I don't think it takes away from the amount of work he had to put in.

[@roobee2872]

@@Ach7ven you have trust issues. Even if he did take ozempic or peds (which I doubt) his trasformation is realistic as long as your genetics arent dog shit, and the video had a positive message.

[@Nancy-Miles]

Hey Josh, I've been subbed for several years, and love your content. I love this video so very much and can really relate. My health was tanking so bad and I was so over weight. That was 5 years ago. I adjusted my activity and diet until I've regained my health and lost over 80 pounds. I feel amazing, and at 52 no one ever believes I'm that "old" lol. I follow a push, pull, hinge, squat, carry exercise regimen. Sprints for cardio are like magic for the body. I adjusted my macros over time until I ended up removing all carbs. No sugar, starch...no plants at all. I had several autoimmune conditions I was dealing with and I realized the lower my carbs got the better I felt. I've reversed or put into remission all of it. I eat fatty meat, eggs, butter, and plenty of high quality salt. I had severe sugar addiction as well. I have to keep the taste of sweet out of my mouth or I go right back to my old ways. This has been a real life charger in the best way. Be encouraged my friend. This is a journey well worth undertaking. You're doing great! Don't stop! Cheers! 😊

[@lolaloliepop]

We're back in the cabinet! I'd love a macro counting low carb series. I've followed you since the beginning and just before the pandemic all your recipes and learning how to cook better got me through a breakup (also could justify that chicken nuggets were 'healthy' if I made them myself vs got them at chick fil a) and just love food again....but in the middle there I had a seizure as an adult and now have to eat keto. I'm pretty strict with it, I don't have a choice side from the occasional carb up day, but now can only eat most of your recipes if I heavily edit them and just hope for the best. I know keto is more excessive than low carb or 'healthier' but considering so many keto cookbooks are boring and awful it'd be really nice to have some "But Healthier" recipes that would be easier to know carb count on.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

Josh, before you dive in (I'm at 2:00), please let me say thank you. You look amazing and I hope I can use my skills in the kitchen to get me to a MUCH healthier and leaner place.

[@Jykenpachi]

Sick transformation! Congratulations. I see you've hit your target too now. A series of great tasting meal prep would be good. Bet a lot of people will be shocked by your protein intake once they actually consider how much it is

[@ThePthiiflf]

He consumers more protein than Cbum which is way too much

[@Jykenpachi]

@ThePthiiflf Different people and different goals. For anyone who isn't a competitive bodybuilder, the literature suggests 1.6 to 2.2g per kg. There's also personal preference in there too

[@ThePthiiflf]

@Jykenpachi show me a recent source saying anything above 2. Furthermore, you can but more expensive and will taste worse

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

I used to think I was a foodie when I was fat, but I became a REAL foodie ever since losing weight. Not to mention I'm now a much better cook, even if I were making something not so healthy

Awesome work man! Also at 4:50 I assume you meant 320g carbs and 160g protein? Otherwise that’s a lot of protein to be chowing down on!

[@TylerMontenegro]

I was thinking the same! All the research shows no benefit of additional protein after like 1.8g/kg body weight. That much protein won't have negative outcomes, but that's a difficult and expensive diet lol

[@Kugaine]

Yeah I think that was just a mistake. 320g of protein would be absolutely wild.

[@blueberyice]

Okay yeah I’m here wondering how many burgers he’d need to get 320g protein 😭

[@araragikoyomi99]

I honestly didn't even think about that possibility, I just assumed he was eating ENTIRELY too many g of protein, but your idea makes much more sense.

[@L0NGH0RNS77]

I just commented saying the same thing. 320P is way too high for his weight. Even at his heaviest at 240, 320P is unnecessary.

[@Oddzey]

Honestly, I've been skeptical of you and your videos for the past year or so, I haven't liked where your content has gone and I miss the Josh that gave us true simple recipes that we could incorporate into our every day lives. However I also realized that this isn't my channel and I have no say. Your creative freedom and drive takes importance over my or other fans desires any day of the week. Obviously. This video has changed that for me. This video is an inspiration and it feels like you were able to connect with those roots I had missed of old josh while still staying true to your current self and not pandering to the audience that misses that. Thank you for this video Josh :)

[@stuartlittle2962]

was it a typo?

[@dipitbhatt7224]

@@stuartlittle2962 Must be, cuz there ain't no way he could be digesting around 350g of protein without spending an hour on the toilet. Also, he'd won't even have the energy for the cardio with just around 150g of carbs.

[@vidz953]

Thank you for this - my eyes bugged out when he said those numbers. Impossible!

[@apocrisy3588]

I honestly don't think it's a typo, check the recipes, they're all higher protein than carbs. Protein helps keep you satiated longer, also 20% of the calories of the protein is burned for digesting the proteins so it's practically the lowest caloric macro (protein 4kcal per gram but because of digestion 3.2kcal per gram, carbs: 4kcal per gram, fat: 8kcal per gram). Also I don't think you run to the toilet a lot from protein alone, some protein shakes may contain stuff people might have issues digesting like erythritol or what not but just protein from stuff like cheese and meat, an occasional egg, it's not gonna be as bad as eating too much fiber. Also there's no such thing as an essential carb, but there are essential proteins and fats.

[@dipitbhatt7224]

@@apocrisy3588 You're completely correct but still pro bodybuilders who're all roided up consume this much protein. Also, I've tried increasing my daily protein with just raw food which I know my body accepts, yet it took a few weeks for my body to adjust to that.
