Train & Eat Like THIS For Weight Loss Results When Getting Started | Mind Pump 2251

[@charlenegroenewald3108]

I just turned 49 and hadn't been in a gym since my early 30's. I used to do Pilates and group classes and light weights. I had my girls at 39 and 42 and was slim but had a bit of a mom bod. After having bad Covid in 2021, I joined the gym in September of that year. It was a wake up call for me to be the healthiest version of my self that I can be to be there for my kids. It was intimidating to be in the weight room when I has never even seen or heard of a squat rack or an Olympic bar. My first goal was to be consistent and after 6 months of consistency I started doing more research and realised that training fasted and just trying to cut back was not serving me. I started having breakfast, increased my protein to a pound/bodyweight, added in creatine, increased my water intake to 2-4 litres. I realised that I wasn't eating much but what I was eating was fairly low protein. I had no idea that this was the case until I started tracking. I concentrated on getting stronger and lift as heavy as I can for 5-6 days a week. My weight dropped after 6 months and then went back up to my starting weight after two years. Although my weight is similar, I lost 10 percent bodyfat, went down 2 sizes in jeans and have shoulder and back muscles for the first time in my life. I feel and look strong. I wish I could go back to my 30 year old self so say, eat more, train hard and heavy and enjoy the benefits of a strong and healthy mind and body. Thank you Mind Pump for your daily wisdom.

[@katrinaloukx4073]

It is so hard to tell yourself to eat more when you have had been told for decades to eat less to lose weight. I know my push to grow muscle needs the support/calories, but I tell myself that should come from my existing fat rather than what I eat. I am eating 140g or more of protein, but I feel like that is all I should need to support the muscle growth because my “pantry”, aka my hips and thighs should support the rest. I appreciate all the info you guys give and I’m trying to trust the process.

[@BethVonBlack]

As a female, I like to do a mixture - I train hard in the gym (strength training) 4 days a week, eat 130g protein, take 5g creatine AND am in a calorie deficit. I'm still getting stronger, but I'm also losing fat too. I tried reverse dieting but just put fat on and felt awful about myself- so now I'm on a cut and then once I'm at the BFP I want to be at, I'll maintain or slight bulk. If I had no fat to lose, then yeah, a slight surplus would be a great idea, but if you're a lady who wants to lose a few lbs, I wouldn't personally recommend surplus cals. Cut first, then maintain.

[@kellyfennessey404]

If I eat anymore than 2,100 average daily, I feel like I put on weight on my tummy

[@BethVonBlack]

@@kellyfennessey404 yeah, everyone’s different. 2100 for me is a surplus as my maintenance is 1800 (I’m petite).

[@GizelleQuant]

⁠@@BethVonBlackI’ve been trying to figure out how to go about increasing my calories… I might just eat at a slight deficit and make sure my protein is high. Apparently, my maintenance is 1700 calories based on calculations. How big is your deficit? Do you include exercise calories in your deficit?

[@BethVonBlack]

@@GizelleQuant I won’t share my exact deficit as it’s extremely individualised, but no I don’t count exercise into my calories - there’s no way to gauge that accurately as treadmills (etc) are notoriously inaccurate and tbh, exercise should be enjoyed, not used to burn extra cals imo.

[@GizelleQuant]

@@BethVonBlack Fantastic. No need to share but I’ll try to figure out my own deficit and implement it this upcoming week for 8 weeks. Thanks so much for the speedy reply! (I agree about exercise and caloric burn estimates. I was just curious..)

[@HEYIAMCINDY]

I don't know how the universe led me to this channel. I've been struggling with an eating disorder for the last 5 years, transitioning from extreme dieting to binge-eating and now dealing with orthorexia. This channel has been truly eye-opening for me because my current goal is to become lean while building strength simultaneously. I often feel weak, even after eating or doing nothing. I'm trying to increase my calorie intake, but it's incredibly challenging. It's not that I feel uncomfortable doing it; it's just too much food for me to consume. Despite being 5 feet tall, I eat 1800kcal every single day, and while I feel satisfied and not hungry, I'm constantly tired. Thank you, guys, for your enlightening content. It's truly helping me. ❤️

[@stuffstuffstuffyay]

how are your thyroid levels? Maybe ask docs to check that and your iron, vit D too. I was SO tired, and it was because I was actually anemic and hypothyroid, double whammy.

[@candeezymarie9827]

I'm a month into my journey. I haven't lost anything according to the scale. However I've lost two inches off my waist and my shoulders are starting to get definition I haven't seen in awhile. Just bought the starter bundle and honestly this podcast has helped me stay on this. If anyone is on the fence about these dudes don't be! I can't believe I've spent thirty years of my life not knowing what I've learned from MP the last few weeks! Wild.

[@susanroberts3520]

I ignored this truth for years. For me any type of cardio triggers a migraine. Lifting weights does not trigger a migraine & I've gotten results in only a month. Keep putting out awesome information!

[@TheGPettigrew]

An episode during your webinar? Unreal. You guys are changing lives. Thanks for everything. I'm in a continuous pursuit of trying to get just a little better every day. I'd have a harder time without your content and advice. Keep it up!

[@chrisheinzman4992]

Back in February I started listening to you guys and after hearing what you guys had to say I started my fitness journey. I started at 250lbs today I am at 178 lbs at 6% body fat. You guys have helped me a lot. Now I am working on building a lot more muscle. I am looking forward to your future videos!!!!

[@tahirarivera313]

Every time I watch ya’ll I get more and more convinced that health and fitness is all encompassing and touches every aspect of your life

[@Anim3Ba3]

My name is Mariah S. and I just bought the body transformation bundle! I'm super excited to get started. I'm currently training for a half marathon scheduled Feb 18th, but am looking to build my strength back after that. I started strength training with intention back in October and I was 167lbs. I began tracking my food and macros and I've followed your podcasts and guidance/tips since then and you guys helped me lose 34lbs once December hit. I plateaued and slacked off around the holidays so I signed up for the half marathon just to challenge myself and build some endurance. When I get back to strength training more days in the week following my race... I know your MAPS programs are gonna take me to the next level!! I'm a former rugby player and have had some injuries in the past that have caused a bit of trouble over the years with balance and overall challenges in training with certain parts of my body being stronger than the other side. It would be SICK to add symmetry to the programs I've just purchased!! Thanks so much for your guidance, it has truly changed my life!

[@sandyenriquez927]

Hi I was wondering do u need cardio 3 years ago I would run over 5 miles a day made me more hungry I love listening to you guys, I love lifting weights now and as I’m getting older no lies it’s Scaring me I’m turning 48 this year and my mind is overwhelmed at times with how to lose weight and stay healthy Thank you for all the information

[@TheFarmersWife1]

You guys have become such a part of my life ! I saw Sal on a podcast right after Resistance Revolution came out and quite frankly I hadnever heard of you before. I’m a 70 yo Grammie who j recovered from a fractured hip 2020 and pelvis in 2018. Trying to keep from being a static ( dead within a year of the fall) Then I saw Dr Lyons twice on your show, bought her book and now I’m working on getting buff. It ain’t easy at 70!

[@MissHERable]

This show has helped get back into the fitness mindset. I used to live in San Diego and would be at the gym every day at 4am. But I moved home in 2020 because my parents were sick. Sadly both of them passed away and I went down a spiral gaining a lot of weight in a short time. I’m 50lbs heavier. I would say I’m still strong but I’m carrying a lot of fat now too. I’ve tried CrossFit, Pilates, running to get back into shape but it’s so hard to feel motivated. I’m glad I found this podcast to help shift my mindset when I feel like I’m off track.

[@Eva-jw5sf]

Thanks for the information! Just like everyone else, I’m on a journey to better health. 🙃 it was easier to do this when I was younger & didn’t have a thousand other things to do.

[@billiepunk321]

This podcast made an impact on my shoulder mobility and bicep tendinitis. There are lots of wisdom nuggets I’ve gathered from listening to the show. These guys made me realize I’ve been in an overtraining environment. I’m glad im boosting my metabolism. Thank you

[@hunterconover717]

Love the show. Got my wife to finally start listening with me, and it's become a constant for us!

[@christenho5339]

Hi guys. I’ve been listening to your podcast since November, which is a game changer for me. I have been lifting heavy 5 days a week and eating at surplus and seeing body transformation slowly. I’m feeling so strong on a daily basis as I no longer worry about the calories, my weight, eating carbs etc. like the old school weight loss regime. With less cardio routines, my joints are happier and less injuries. After 2 years of impaired autoimmunity, leaky gut, half ass keto diet, I’m finally feeling my best mentally and physically. Thanks Mind Pump. Your podcasts are usually longer so I usually listen in 1.75x speed. You guys sound funnier talking fast. 😂

[@candeezymarie9827]

😂😂😂 I watch them at that speed too! Congrats on your hard work! You got this!!! 💪

[@shapelesscharms]

Holy moly! Doing coaches training and STILL putting out content!? Yall are putting in overtime!! God bless you. Mind Pump is making BIG waves and we're here for it🔥

[@nicholeschlueter3283]

Love this show! I lost 90lbs. According to the doctor I should lose another 20. You have lots of info that makes it easy to incorporate into my life to achieve that goal.

[@evolvingwithjessica]

I’ve been on a weight lifting journey the last 7 months and this podcast has been incredibly valuable 🙌 I only hope to provide as much value as you guys do! 👏

[@sandradugan7513]

Funny you say that I have hypothyroidism I have a mild form of cerebral palsy and now I'm 55 in menopausal lucky me I have a hard time with some exercises and my metabolism is supposedly slower due to my hypothyroidism but Im the fittest person in my family and my group of friends and every thing I learned about staying healthy and staying fit I learned from bodybuilders. I just found the channel after reading Sal's book so I'm subscribing to your channel and your podcast I love it thank you so much!!!

[@MsPrepelita]

I am listening you from Germany, and I am trying to implement your advice, as mother of 2 kids, and working 2 shifts plus housework at 36 years it’s very hard , but not impossible, you give me hope. Thank you for everything you’re doing, it means a lot

[@thomasstockton7690]

I could really use this. I have lost 170 lbs in past 2 years, now that I'm actually working out I'm finding I'm definitely asymmetrical in strength and definition especially the pecs... Thanks for what y'all do

[@1lindypops]

I wish you guys were around 30 years ago when I was 20. Your information is mind blowing, it helped me to make that switch from cardio to strength training a few years ago. I always look forward to your notification for a new podcast. Thanks so much 💪

[@georgeannmarsh]

I keep having issues with consistency, you all keep reminding me to focus on lifting. Officially respawning again tomorrow. ❤

[@bestlife277]

20:23 The best podcast. Watch them all, change your life. 👊🏼

[@laurinagreenhill-go8pe]

Listener question #1… I can totally relate… MP is always in my head too from doing MAPS program, listening to the podcast or considering their advise on everything lifestyle related. And I have had nothing but progress!

[@smileyalwaysready]

After doing body transformation bundle, must do program, very easy to follow but I found one trap bigger than the other 😂😂 I look completely different losing body fat and increasing muscle mass using reverse diet. Thank you Mind Pump 💪🏾

[@huckjunoy]

I was in a place to be extremely fit but really unhappy! Glad that a fitness podcast touch this important point! Thanks to be as you are guys!

[@MattIncognito]

Did anabolic, performance, back to anabolic (not in a place for the volume of aesthetic right now) July at the start I was squatting 95 lbs for the 10 reps. Today I put up 225 for 3 reps all 5 sets of phase 1. Significantly stronger obviously. Hoping to max out at 315 by the end of the year

[@LP-Firefly7]

A body in motion stays in motion...for life!! Spot on, Adam. 💥 Love you guys - thanks for the motivation every day 💫

[@ewelinalicka11]

One of, if not the most important thing about fitness is that it promotes improvement in every aspect of our lives :). Being shredded sure is cool but being a better mother, spouse or a friend is what really matters in life. It’s good to have goals, as a matter of fact : you must have goals in life. And the right mindset ❤️

[@mrzfranklin06]

I think the best thing about Mind Pump is its never ending supply of amazing content. I can literally listen to you all day everyday and just keep learning. Even if I have learned on more than one occasion that the best way to convince a woman to bulk is to make her guess the weight of a small, muscular, female trainer 😂😉. But seriously, thanks for the effort, content and consistency!

[@brokenarrowministry]

Thanks guys! This is what I needed to hear today! I’m a Trainer and in week 3 of a 12 week contest prep for my first Natural Physique Competition. Scale has barely budged so far but I have a good plan for volume increase, Cal reduction and Cardio increase week x week. Even though I have all this knowledge in my head, it is still hard to apply it to yourself. BTW, great content on the past two days for MP Coaching. Looking forward to Day 3 this evening!

[@Beskie]

I’m so ready this year to change my body mind inside and out. I did really well last year for about 6 months and it’s the longest I ever went in on health all around and then fell off. So I know I can do it better this year and stick with it 💪🏼 You guys give such valuable information. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

[@ri2ch2]

1st time commenting. Love the show. I’m a long haul truck driver and finding it hard to lose weight while out all the time. Only home a couple days a month.

[@maryjayden1175]

I started listening to this show only about a month ago and I have already learned an incredible amount of information. I’m currently pushing myself to consume a gram of protein per lb of body weight like you guys recommended and I’m already seeing results after only a couple weeks! Feeling stronger and leaner!

[@DonnaAbernethy]

I’ve always been “thin”. I had my fat measured decades ago and was told I had a high fat percentage. Most people wouldn’t believe me when I said I was skinny fat. That was not a concept that was understood back then. At 53 I’m still struggling but your information and advice is helping me turn that curve. Looking to be a muscle mommy!

[@buffNelly1989]

🎉🎉mindpump!! Thank you so much for transforming my life. I took a small break. Never ever know why….time to play catch up on the episodes I missed. Also gotta hype up anabolic advanced for you all. The first time I did it. Best results. Ever. Truly… and now I’m back to it again! A few months later too lol! I Can’t wait to see more gains from you guys!

[@kasanchz]

I experience this random low back pain as well! I even had an mri done as I had pins and needles and some numbness in my toes, and the back dr couldn't really tell me why, as that mri came back with nothing wrong!

[@lanzadavid]

I'm on Week 4 of MAPS 40 Plus. Got the body transformation promotion and will do that series next. Very excited for the next 12 months!

[@suhasalameh2145]

I absolutely in love with this show I adore each and every one of you too! Big muscles Big brains… I looooove that about you. I am following Anabolic 5 weeks in the program now! I can already tell the difference from any other program I followed. I purchased 40+ too. I can see that I will be in a different level of fitness following your advice! And I absolutely enjoy the podcast! Thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@slicksvillage6920]

The best show, listen to every night.

[@nicolehalverson5225]

After 20 lbs lost I noticed how getting 3 miles of steps is just a normal part of my day rather than in the beginning I had to go get those steps at the end of the day. Neat

[@khanky2]

Thank you for all you do! You have made a difference in my life!

[@jose.rvmirez]

Thank you guys for everything! I had personal trianer that did initially help out but later on did not do much. I have learned so much in the past few months since listening to you guys then I ever did with the one year I spent with my personal trainer. Thank you for all the knowledge you provide. Finished up Anabolic and onto Aesthetics! Getting stronger and I love it!

[@marieoliphant8305]

Lots of people take a weekend course and call themselves a trainer. I’ve been in gym for 30 years, bodybuilding, and most trainers don’t know what their doing.

[@nicholasgolovkin4276]

When Sal was talking about getting up early, and working out and then going to work and doing the podcast, it sounded like he said "Bod-cast" and now I think that needs to be a thing

[@Szilvia_Szilvia]

02:12 ...you don't need to eat a LOT to be satiated and to have a healthy metabolism. You need to eat nutrient dense real food, ideally a species specific, species appropriate human diet & you'll be lean.

"I'm just drawn to logic." Best comment ever! 🤣

[@tsleong1]

If we have the opposite problem, I think that would be a good show. I'd like to know how to gain weight and add muscle while not eating a bunch. I'm 5-10 140# body fat 12-15% doing intermittent fasting for autophagy and resistance training and eating real food (but not counting macros). I need to gain 10-15# of muscle to get where I want. A show segment showing what you guys are eating on a given day would might also be interesting.

I was actually thinking about getting maps symmetry. I’m getting some imbalances in strength in my training. I could make my own, I’m studying to train others, but having a template sounds cool. Or a reference. I’ve run anabolic and saw crazy gains (thank you for the Black Friday sale 😮‍💨) Thank you for all of your wisdom you are willing to give out for free. The webinars are amazing btw.

I would say this was a “drop the mic” video and response to Paul. I am continuously amazed how people like Paul make these claims without evidence to support it. It’s no wonder everyone gets so confused bc he sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.

[@GreatWhite7]

Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt (22 May 1878 - 23 May 1960), commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind and by the ring name The Great Gama, was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British India and later, Pakistan. He was born in Jabbowal village (Amritsar District) in the Punjab Province of British India in 1878, and was awarded a version of the World Heavyweight Championship on 15 October 1910. Undefeated in a career spanning more than 52 years, he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Gama defeated some of the most respected grapplers in the world, "Doc" Benjamin Roller of the United States, Maurice Deriaz of Switzerland, Johann Lemm (the European Champion) of Switzerland, and Jesse Peterson (World Champion) from Sweden. Louis Cyr was a French Canadian strongman with a career spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His recorded feats, including lifting 500 pounds (227 kg) (1/4 ton) with one finger and backlifting 4,337 pounds (1,967 kg) (2 tons), show Cyr to be, according to former International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness chairman Ben Weider as stated in 2000, the strongest man ever Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Karelin Karelin competed in Greco-Roman wrestling, representing the Soviet Union and Russia between 1987 and 2000. Karelin lost his first and last match. In between he won 887 matches. He was undefeated for 13 years and no one scored a point against him for 7 years. Karelin won 2 Olympic Gold medals and one silver, so he was drug tested. Sir Donald George Bradman was an Australian international cricketer, widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time. Bradman's career Test batting average of 99.94 is considered by some to be the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport The next best average by anyone of note is only around 60. Jim Thorpe was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. Thorpe was the first Born American to win a gold medal for the United States in the Olympics. He is considered one of the most versatile athletes in modern sports, he won two Olympic gold medals in the 1912 Summer Olympics one in classic pentathlon and the other in the decathlon. He also played American football, professional baseball, and basketball. After his Olympic success, Thorpe joined the Canton Bulldogs American football team in 1915, enabling them to win three professional championships. He later played for six teams in the National Football League (NFL).

[@mattTHEEgreat]

It is absolutely amazing that when people think of a healthy person it's automatically a cover model with a 6 pack, male or female. Or a workout is 2 hours of burpees and battle ropes till you puke. The majority of people can get a workout with a big empty laundry detergent jug filled with water. It doesn't have to be the extreme booty boot camp 3000 XL class. More people need to listen to Mindpump, that's how we solve this problem.

Adam, not necessarily in sports, but in life, my motto is, blame yourself or blame no-one. However, that said, my worst injury was sitting in a car at a red light, and being in a 5 car pile up and having a station wagon fall out of the sky and land on my head. Literally EVERYTHING else has always been 100% my fault for being a dumbass.

[@ara912]

I am much heavier not flabby but not lean 😭 … I did reverse diet but I did it wrong 😑… I lowered my calories again with 2 weeks of just light workouts to reverse diet again properly with the 40 plus MAPS. In 1 week

[@marieoliphant8305]

Over 60 woman. Started training like a bodybuilder 30 yrs ago. I did compete. I was considered too muscular for a woman for many years. 5”4 116 for 40 yrs. Funny to see now, it’s all the rage. If you ever need a real woman’s experience, ring me up. 😂 It’s weird listening only to men discussing women. 5 kids and a flight attendant. If I could do it so can others. It’s about priorities.
