Sajam Talks About When He Was Fat

[@0alys282]

Sajam Just gave me better advise than most youtubers who actually do vids on diets lol

[@thestanman1486]

He talks like a normal human not like a coach. It just hits harder y'know? Like I went up to a friend and asked him for advice.

[@Skapes11238]

What inspired me to start losing weight was when my cousin said I looked like a chubby post malone. Didn't know who he was at the time, looked him up and my eyes went wide. From 225 to 165 in 9 months and kept it off. Take it step by step, it's a process for all of those on the grind.

[@explodingrabbit51]

We’re all gonna make it bro

[@vaderglenn]

What carried my weight loss was dropping all the sugar drinks. The soda, tea, and energy drinks loaded with sugar was a game changer. Didn't realize how much sugar were in those thinga before lmao.

[@humblegamer7876]

For everyone that needs help getting started losing weight During the summer months just keep a pitcher of iced water with mint and lemon/lime out. Keep yourself from making bad choices by setting out good alternatives early on. Cut up some watermelon and fruit and cheese and nits if you're around the house all day anyway and just graze on that stuff. Stop getting so emotionally invested in having a 'meal' . And most importantly don't treat yourself like shit if you slip up. The guilt will only make it worse.

[@conanbdetective]

Another thing for people that would come back to this: Fuck sodas and anything sugary/with sugar that comes in liquid form. Second is sports drinks (gatorade/powerade/similar stuff). If you're not near actual dying of thirst from a high intensity activity; you have no business drinking it.

[@pedroscoponi4905]

The thing that got me to lose weight was cutting down on the carbs (not 100% but a lot less) and no sugar on my coffee as well. I don't work out or anything but I've kept a stable weight I'm comfortable with for like, almost 10 years at this point. Just being careful with carbs and sugar from time to time, and doing errands on foot whenever possible. So yeah, this is legit, a good rule of thumb.

[@keorinkoluexl6365]

As another wrestler who got chubby and stayed fat after they stopped the sport it truly is a blessing that i had that background. it gave me the mental fortitude to stick to my dietary changes when i finally had enough with my weight problem. Most people dont take into consideration how much they really want something. you can be fat and not like it, but to actually do something abt it is an entirely different beast that takes true discipline

[@TheSpokenBanana]

Just saw this vid outta nowhere lol, I didn't know Sajam lost a lot of weight. Started cutting since May and I went from 210 to 178 as of today. Still wanna lose some more pounds but I'm happy with my progress. Still a lil sad cause I don't feel or think I look any different.

[@gungy_vt]

Just cutting out soda does wonders for people, and not just switching to diet sodas (since they still leave you craving sweet drinks). It's absurd the amount of sugar that's in a 20oz bottle of Coke, and it's absurd how, as an American, you can grow up to see that 20oz bottle as being "small" for how much soda it is. I worked in a gas station and got free fountain drinks most of the time I worked there, but then I learned I had to get over a dozen fillings in my teeth and I traded soda for iced tea, and eventually got rid of that for black coffee and seltzer. It's a bit rough to adjust to not having sweet drinks, but after a while if you try to drink soda it just tastes like syrup. Every so often, I'll get some Dr Pepper or anything else that I used to drink constantly and it just reminds me how bad soda actually tastes when it's not your norm. And other drinks end up being cheaper as well. Sure, soda can be cheapish, but where I'm at, it's still more expensive than seltzer because of demand being higher for soda.

Losing weight is at least 90% diet. Calories out>calories in= lose weight

[@massterwushu9699]

Calum Barnes A lot of people don’t under that

[@poonoo87]

"Calories out>calories in= lose weight" Not necessarily, my Calorie intake and activity stayed the same and I lost about 10kgs over time. I was burning enough calories to be shredding weight once I looked at the numbers but then I tracked what I was eating based on other things like, fat, carbs, protein and sugar and my sugar intake was way higher than I thought. I didn't even drink soda's regularly, even when I thought I ate well eating raisin bran for breakfast my sugar intake to lose weight was through the damn roof.

For real, as soon as I took this warehouse job, I had to eat something after every 2.5 hours every break. Just cant eat something that will slow you down, already lost 18 lbs. Not feeling like garbage for a 10 hour shift is a good motivator to eat smarter lol

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

Yeah I got heavy after high school because my PE equivalent credits throughout high school was "weight training". Just lifting weights for like 2 hours a day 5 days a week. I only really did preacher curls, lateral pull downs, and bench. I never did a single deadlift or squat. My legs were always thrashed from skateboarding after school everyday. but yeah if you don't dramatically reduce your diet after dropping lifting weights you'll get fat as fuck quick.

[@VeylmanTheRock]

I did the same thing when I was 220 pounds in 2013, never really worked out so I started on that a few weeks at a time. Then in 2017 I did a water fast (only drink water and don't eat) twice for like a week and at that point soda and stuff tasted really shitty so it was easy cutting that stuff out. Now I'm always around 155-175 pounds.

[@GIR177]

Eating natural whole foods while cutting out sugary and processed junk already puts you ahead of the curve on the path to a healthy weight. Regular exercise and sleep on top of that is icing on the cake.

[@setxjrichie9745]

Passed the soda and other obvious stuff, my best advice to anybody cutting calories is dropping every single condiment besides maybe mustards. You wouldn't believe how much sugar is in kethup or bbq sauces

[@-dekoi-7268]

[@SJNaka101]

For me, the king of weight loss is intermittent fasting. No contest. For intermittent fasting, all you gotta do is put at least 16 hours between your last meal of the day and the first meal of the next day. The way people usually go about this is by declaring a 5-8 hour daily eating "window". This way, if you only eat inside your window you're automatically fasting for 16+ hours every day. This. Is. EASY. That's the main thing that makes intermittent fasting the king of weight loss to me. You dont have to do anything to your diet, you dont have to eat less than you normally do (though you probably naturally will just by eliminating snacking), and it takes about 3 days for your body to adjust. When your body adjusts, you actually feel *more* full and satisfied from less food than when you eat willy nilly throughout the day. I feel all around better when I do intermittent fasting and if you're significantly overweight, the pounds just melt off at like 5lbs+ a month with no effort. The trickiest thing about it is just avoiding snacking on autopilot when you're getting used to it at first.

[@Guccibear100]

Also don't eat sugar. When I was doing well I lost a shit ton of weight because I just didnt have any sugar and didn't drink any alcohol. I fucked my life up and I'm fat again, also drunk, but that doesn't have to be you. Lay off the carbs too, the Keto stuff might seem like a meme, but it works. Just dont be the guy that eats 6 quarter pounders "no bread" and think you're gonna make it... you wont.

Did you cut out Ketchup like you did soda? Ketchup is surprisingly sugary, I think it's messing me up.

[@Indigamesforlife]

[@soren7944]

Do you only cut out sugar drinks or you cut out sugar completly? I'm trying to do something a bit similar but without starch and sugar completly and it's killing me because i love sweet and starch is like daily food in asia. So i ended up eating those sometimes and back to diet, kinda inconsistent

[@benzhang8927]

If sweets are something of a problem for you, don't cut it out completely. Eat fruits or other naturally sweet things in moderation. This way you get your fix, but don't go completely off the rails. Also it helps if you have to work for it. What I mean is like peeling an orange or washing a handful of berries. Stay away from readily available sweets as it you can easily find yourself eating more than you would have liked. Stay consistent and just remember its a journey and not a sprint. Good luck friend.

[@soren7944]

[@steamyrobotlove]

@Sajam How much water do you typically drink in a day? I know, for people just starting to diet, water weight is easy to lose, as those ppl are probably not drinking enough water in their day. I usually try to drink 2 liters at least when losing weight, and I usually drop 5 pounds in a week just from excess water stores.

[@tase7602]

Water weight has more to do with carb intake than water intake, if you drink a lot of water but have no carbs you'll piss it out just as easily as you drank it

[@steamyrobotlove]

@@tase7602 Huh, I remember my first experience with the slow-carb, aka 4-hour body diet and losing lots of weight each week but also feeling more energetic and refreshed. I feel like water consumption played a part in that, as I wasn't drinking nearly enough water at the time, and after about a week I stopped peeing once an hour. I did eat lots of junk food once a week, perhaps that was my carb intake. Or perhaps the body uses water more efficiently with a good diet rather than storing it/just pissing it out.

They are real and if you want to lose weight, diet is everything. It is more important than working out by a lot FOR WEIGHT LOSS - though working out is great for your respiratory/cardiovascular/other subsystems health (cardio, yoga, etc.) or building muscles (weight training).

I had a friend who lost a good amount just walking and tracking calories. He made a habit of walking around 2 miles a day. He didnt ALWAYS do it, but he did it most days because of the value of consistency. After exercise became more of a habit, he bumped up the intesity and started going to the gym. Everyone has something different that works for them, but this worked for him.

Trust me when I say it's clean eating (not necessarily a diet) and consistency. Sure exercise helps but as they say you cant out train a bad diet. Take it in baby steps just develop one good habit at a time. You'd be surprised at what you're capable of once you get the ball rolling.
