I just want to say that I really appreciate how positive your message always is. As a father with a little girl it’s dope seeing another dad find the time to get shit done all with a smile on his face. You’ve helped me more than you know bud, thank you for everything you do.

Nice clean video, no advertisement and clear strategy.

[@shantanusapru]

One of the best videos I've seen on this subject! Scientific, logical, practical -- and all explained in a simple, yet not overly-simplistic (so as to be wrong), manner! Kudos! And, bravo, sir!

When should you trust and record a measurement from the scales when determining your maintenance? I'm dieting right now and some times when I weigh my self I can be +1-5 lbs over where I think I am and then a few days later I'm - 1-5 lbs under. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@chilipalmer2428]

Not sure what camera you used to film but that was the clearest screen I've ever seen on my monitor. And it isn't my monitor! Oh, thanks for the advice!

[@ChanceBerryman]

1. Too much cardio, not enough weights 2. HIIT all the time 3. Too big caloric deficit 4. Processed foods 5. Guesstimating caloric needs

[@chilipalmer2428]

Usually I like these summaries, but in this case the background or "why" behind the points is critical. Example: The 5 food theory.

[@DufraneFit]

Excellent advice! Thank you!

[@bigaz72]

I totally stumbled across you a few days ago. Normally elite athletes like you are above and beyond my reach. You stuff is spot on even for an older (almost 60) athlete. I'm far from elite but your stuff applies to me too. I do have one question though...you kinda destroyed that Pop Tart. Did you enjoy that a little too much

[@marcusfilly]

haha. i spit that pop tart right out! i'm glad it feels reachable.

[@chilipalmer2428]

I feel same. I am 62 and this definitely applies to me. I am at my perfect weight and BMI. Got there by keto. But now I plan to get back to some dumbbells pushups, etc.

[@michaelhagmann4518]

Your channel has helped me out a ton! Thanks brother

[@Pepperman86]

You... Are... The Man! I have been doing every mistake that you mentioned in the past year, that's why my weight is going up instead of down. Thanks for sharing

[@marcusfilly]

I hope these help you get on track

[@zacharyhughes9684]

Feel like stuck with doing too much high intensity. I’ve fluctuated in weight my whole life up until I was 26. (35 now) I went from being 307 at my heaviest all the way down to 192. I’ve done traditional lifting and CrossFit. CrossFit is where I got absolutely shredded. I maintained it for two years. Very lean and vascular up until I was about 33. I took time off and started doing more bjj and then went back to CrossFit. Ever since then, I have completely lost my lean vascular look and now I’m much thicker and having so much trouble getting back to lean. I’m back to CrossFit and I do crazy high intensity workouts but not much with slower, isolated lifts. I use to normally hover around 215 very very vascular. Now I’m hovering around 232 and much less defined. Any pointers would be great. I’m definitely going to take some pointers from this video as well.

[@pretttyone]

So happy I found your channel! Thank you Marcus !

[@priyabadial9113]

Marcus i really appreciated your video in regards to injury. One thing I would love to get your perspective on is being able to navigate pushing yourself vs pushing yourself resulting in an injury. I find that this is a fine line and am having a hard time understanding this because the fear of injury also becomes a barrier. Would love to hear your thoughts

[@marcusfilly]

Hey Priya. What is your goal? Unless you are getting paid or are chasing a championship, then I don’t believe taking on unnecessary training risk for fat loss makes sense.

[@Natashaz48]

Awesome content Marcus. just found your channel yesterday and am binging. So good. thank you!

[@marcusfilly]

Awesome! Thank you and welcome!

[@mirandathomasharris9363]

***Gold*** "Something I like to remind people of, is that, our biology is way more powerful than our willpower!" 🤔🤗

[@nomsky4719]

so you are saying, willpower is not biologic, and can be trained. that means, that your body can be trained, with willpower. otherwise, just order a pizza and get back on the couch, diabetes is not your fault?

[@takkinwong5777]

long fasting (>24hour) is a total different story compare to a big calorie deficit

[@AnthonyVenmans]

Marcus, I have a question... Creating a ''deficit'' with ONLY cardio/weight lifting/energy expenditure while ''eating'' at maintenance level... Is that even sustainable or achieveable at all?

[@marcusfilly]

If you increase your energy output and keep your current calories you will technically fall into a deficit and that can work too. I find a combination of increased output and some deficit to be most effective.

[@davidvesely5963]

Thats actually what you should do if you are planning long term weight loss. You stay at maintenance (or what youre currently eating) and add activity, after u plateau with weight loss due to adaptation u can slowly cut some calories (like 2-3 hundreds) and continue with that. Also try not to add too much activity so you still have some room to add up later on if u wanna get "shredded" and not just lean. Cheers!

[@riddleofsteelgamer6632]

After watching this video I am going to the gym RIGHT NOW! Time to get some blood into those lazy muscles. Also what I learned over the 3 years im dropping weight is don't mess up your daily routine. Just keep going at the nice steady ride the wave pace. I once listened to guys saying you need some off days and "shock" your system binging with all kinds of food, worst advice ever. Just eat food you like and is healthy and low in cal preferably. Also stay far far far away from trigger foods that will active BINGE mode (junk food, highly processed foods) this is the gateway to an endless loop of losing and gaining weight. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy during birthdays or holidays but just don't go out of control keep it moderate or just ride your bike for 100km after :D.

Great video, Seen Coach Greg do a review of one of your videos and thought id check out your other content. ez sub.

[@MarniMedia]

Great video! The segment about "Frankenfoods" hit home. For example, I've noticed that when I'd eat a certain brand of protein chips that I'd immediately crave more. So if I bought 2 bags, I'd end up eating both in 1 sitting. The nutritional facts on the bags looked healthy (approximately 20g of protein per bag), but they definitely ended up triggering cravings that did more harm than good. I thought it was just me, but now I know to stay away from processed "healthy" foods too. To be fair, it's still better to eat those chips than regular ones if a craving hits, but it's better to avoid them altogether and just get used to eating whole foods.

it is all about making better choices in any given situation.

Get a scale to weigh your food and use measuring cups. Most people look at food and say it looks like 4 grams or scoop ingredients by guessing.. few extra grams here and a few ounces adds up at the end of the day.

That is key!

[@johnpathway8581]

This video is pretty much all about abs/man handles really - the only way abs will show is to reduce body fat % and that will also take care of the man handles. You can’t spot reduce fat and training the abs specifically will strengthen your core but won’t make them suddenly appear or really change much at all! Good luck 🤞

[@alexeivernyi2910]

Amazing information man!!! I pray that you gain more momentum with your podcast and youtube channel. Your information is TOO GOOD. One of my favorite things that got me off chips and cookies on my "refeed days" was baking/cooking the same things I used to buy. I really love coconut flour recipes and I bake my own russet and/or sweet potato chips or fries almost every night! So much more satisfying and my digestion is much better and efficient as well, couldn't get these type of poops off chips haha.

Hello Marcus. I weigh 80kg 181cm male. I’m going to do weight training from now and try and get a maximum of 60 minutes brisk walking every day. I want to lose fat and I’m about 23% body fat. What do you recommend my daily calorie target to be? I’ll be loading up on vegetables healthy fats lean protein and carbs (I will eat carbs at each meal but will keep carb portions reasonable and not big big servings). I would really appreciate a reply on this as I am kind of lost on this whole topic once again. Great video thank you!

[@Jottocop]

I m shorter than you but weighted the same as u when I started dieting. I walked at school and did some bodyweight exercises and my calorie range was 1800-2300 depending on how much hungry i was and how much cardio i did. I lost 1 kg per week which is too fast for optimal muscle maintenance so I would say 2000-2400 to lose 0.5 per week and mainteining/gaining more muscle
