Been a gym rat for over 30 yrs and, I can't help but be very impressed by young guys like you that have realistic/effective practical know how on obtaining fitness goals! An old dog learning new tricks! TY and keep up the good work!

[@mr.speyside5240]

Reason # 4: lack of quality sleep. Sleep is essential for fat loss.

body recover from workout and muscle tearing (growth)

[@sh0rtaznant]

he still had a 6 pack when he was too fat lol goddamnit

[@eyefinity3993]

Im actually a big fan of HIIT for building muscle and losing fat at the same time as it spikes growth hormone levels way higher than slow steady cardio and also increases your BMR! Great tips Scott, always enjoying your videos!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man! and yeah I prefer HIIT as well. It works wonders!

[@danielpascual4015]

His before pic is what I want my after pic to look like fml...

[@nicolykid]

Love comin back to trhese kinds of vids in ordr to keep myself on track. It also reassures me that Im doing stuff right (or wrong). Haven't done HIIT in a while (been doing steady state for a couple months to try and reach my running goal)

[@molomono9795]

The 3 reasons that are 99% of all cases. 1. You aren't dieting seriously. Too many cheat meals and shortcuts. (Drink only water and drink enough) Also cut the junk food out of your diet for good measure. 2. Not enough exercise or activity, if you do some cardio but go straight from the gym to a desk then you will not maximize your fat loss. Walk around and stay active. 3. Not tracking your calories, just assuming you aren't eating too much is the quickest way to stall your results. Always assume you are eating more than you actually are if you don't know the exact numbers of a meal. You WILL loose weight if you do the above. I really think about 70% of all failed diets go wrong at the first point i mentioned. If you want serious results you need to take dieting seriously.

[@agentnukaz1715]

Molo mono I've been intuitive eating and intemerminent fasting, lost 23 pounds in 3 months. Ik i need to start tracking if I want those perfect abs though

[@rayeraye2909]

Wow! Thanks Scott! You've convinced me. Ive heard about counting your macros for years, but always despised the idea. But watching your video, I think that it's now necessary. I lost weight from 256 to 201, joined the military, got out of bootcamp at about 175, and finally got down to 165 shortly after... which is very close to where I wanted to be since im 5'10". But since then I've only sustained and more recently, I've gain more fat. I haven't really been working out consistently because being in the military, you can't really keep a set schedule. (My shifts and sleep schedule change sporadically .) So I've gotten back up to 180... and I've decided to change. Between you and Whitney Simmons, I am so hype to get started again. Not so hype about counting, lol. But, like I said... it's probably a necessary step now. Thanks again!

[@kyleedwards8180]

Great advice. I’ve been doing if it fits your calories. I eat healthy for the most part but find a way to fit in a measured out amount of ice cream if I want it. I lost 13 pounds last month but hit a plateau this past week and didn’t lose anything. Going to add in HIIT cardio 3-4 days a week, continue to workout, stay active and make better choices with food.

[@marce11o]

I like his before picture a lot actually.

[@apressl2]

"Your body's number one goal is to not die." ...why I thought this was funny, I don't know. Haha

[@shaakirmir6722]

Scott is one of the few people who tells you the truth to your face with no bullshit. There is no magic pill to looking good. Good food coupled with hard work and a whole lot of time will get you there.

[@PedroDVC]

This is the TRUTH! Good information right here!

[@Cowellini]

This is awesome to listen too. Something worth my time. All the wrong things people do now put to light!

[@SummerBadawi]

HUGE difference from the last time I watched SHF! Amazing job, Scott!

[@KalelPak123]

3 reasons why you're not losing fat... honestly, I'd say the Digiorno pizza ad right before the video may actually be the first reason...

[@patrickwilmore6820]

Thanks so much for this video Scott...this is definitely something I needed to hear and learn from to reach my goals!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to hear that Patrick :) Now if I could just get you in my forums.. haha Have a great week brotha!

[@1973bunky]

About time someone reputable on KZbin emphasizes the importance of micronutrients. Good job Scott!

[@jkd1984]

This video is a eye opener... Great info. Thanks

[@MP112791]

Good tips Scott, especially #2

[@jamiecook5056]

Scott this installment is just what the doctor ordered lol!!! Since the new year I tried a few "foolish" diets (you know those gimmicks) and I just turned 49 last month and it's hard enough to lose... now I know why my mid section is hanging on like an orangutan! Thanks brother.

[@asrey75]

I figured I new about this topic, but you make it pretty clear and simple, this is a good explanation. That photo comparison drives it home what it means to eat clean and how it impacts you. Gratz on your change ! This has inspired me to get real about my food too! Thanks Scott!

[@benjaminpattee8011]

Great video! Very helpful guidelines to follow!

[@shufflerrrrrr]

Thanks for the great tips Scott more tip vids like this would be great

[@rivethead19]

Wow, you have the best fitness videos on youtube, which that is VERY impressive as there are A LOT of fitness videos! How you explained to diet was better than I have ever been told to diet. About two years ago I got "skinny fat" by way of a starvation diet and a heavy cardio workout: tons of burpees, basically anything that was an ab exercise but not a sit up. I was not told how to diet properly. Excellent videos

[@arianshahzadi9635]

Hey Scott, I want to ask and hear your opinion about my training and dieting plans and I want to know if I am doing the correct type of training that supports my diet and if my training schedule is good etc. I just generally want to know if I'm doing this right. So I train 4x a week. 2x HIIT and 2x lifting at the gym. both training sessions are quite varied so its not just the same exercises over and over again. i have about 6 meals a day that equate to 1,800 - 2,000 calories meal 1: 3x eggs, protein shake and 100g of oats in water meal 2: almonds meal 3: can of tuna w/ vegetables and a banana meal 4: carrots meal 5: protein shake (right after i finish my workout for the day) meal 6: red meat or fish w/ vegetables It would mean a lot to me if I have your "approval". Thanks for all the videos and keep it up because they have inspired me.

[@Conwayn00b]

Thanks for the vid Scott. It's hard losing fat.

[@herzwatithink9289]

Pretty comprehensive! Good work!

[@Kendraanspach]

Excellent video and tips. Just the motivation I needed.

[@ClaudKaKeiYeung]

1. You are not at a caloric deficit. 2. You are not at a caloric deficit. 3. You are not at a caloric deficit.

[@absjasim4678]

so true

[@absjasim4678]

so true

[@marzoke4837]

Caloric Deficit will make you lose weight (muscle & fat) if u do it the wrong way

[@Vykk_Draygo]

Caloric deficit will always make you lose both. You just ameliorate muscle loss by eating enough protein, and lifting heavy on a regular basis. Edit: Calorie deficit is LITERALLY the only way to lose weight, by the way.

[@lukeludwig1055]

Vykk Draygo im at a caloric deficit, and im getting gainz, 1800 cals a day about 180 grams of protein

[@furyinternal]

This is some great info, Scott.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Derek! Thanks for watching! :)

[@JanooProductions]

simple and right in the spot, good advices right here! Good video man!

[@jamesdavidson3713]

Great video Scott, very informative, thanks!

[@williamshaw2362]

Too many people focus on their nutrition more than their training, keep it simple eat healthy meals don't pig out and even more importantly workout HARD all day, every day don't just lift weights do tones of cardio; run, swim, bike, fight. Sleep is important too but many people think just 'cause they feel tired it means they need more sleep WRONG you have to really push yourself and your body will adapt. If you eat a decent amount of calories for your body weight and workout hard enough and sleep just enough then you will be in the best shape of your life. Its all about finding that balance don't get to comfortable and don't get to uncomfortable.

nice tips scott thanks for all

[@borehag]

As a man following the iifym approach to lose bodyfat, so far I have dropped 13kg. I approach my macros with an 80/20 approach 80% of whole foods to ensure my micros are met I make sure I get multiple servings of vegetables a couple of pieces of fruit and minimum 45g fiber a day, but then if I have left over macros I'll fill them with "junk" food so pop tarts, cookies, ice cream etc.. and I'm still losing bf, retaining what muscle mass I have and strength isn't diminishing. I partially agree if your just eating "junk" it will have health effects but I think it would take a while for it to hinder your progress.

[@KingMatthewx]

Always good videos, thanks Scott !

[@ryandeffley7652]

IIFYM is great in theory when you don't abuse it. Moderation is key. When you take it to the extreme, your gym performance will suffer even if you hit your calorie intake/macros. A good balance is two larger cheat MEALS p/wk. Having an 80/20 balance will let you enjoy life and train hard at the same time.

[@lynophrine]

Hi Scott thanks for this great video. Regards

[@radu9392]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That's why you're my favourite my favourite youtuber! You don't try to sell stuff, but genuine advices.

[@DerFruchttiger2012]

Thanks for the video, cleared quite q few things up for me !

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching brotha!

[@DerFruchttiger2012]

ScottHermanFitness Hahaha, I'm a girl ;)

[@RickyCosgrove]

IIFYM can work! Its not all about eating "dirty" foods just so you hit your macros.. as long as you work it to roughly 80% "clean" and 20% "dirty" that means not only do you get your macros and micros you also can fit in that little bit of naughty food at the end of the day! This means a more sustainable diet and therefore could stop you from falling off!

[@nadza3265]

all of your knowledge and information videos are amazing and are my favorite, definitely keep making more. love your account, so inspirational

Perfect Video Scott, thank you!

[@electricwater83]

Great educational video Scott 🍀

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Wayne! :)

[@maxschmidt9461]

one important thing to note to different trainin' to loose fat: many cardio types can make you loose more muscle, but more importantly you need to still do enough intense trainin' or you will loose muscle instead of fat if you don't put enough strain on those muscles to tell your body it can't afford to shrink their size, just don't ramp up the intensity, but maintain it, way more important than cardio as long as you stay in your slight deficit.

[@gggaming3871]

[@anwaryoma6012]

IIFYM works great for social encounters, or if are craving something sweet for instance ,you might sneak in some dark chocolate or so (I do it almost daily lol). The 90%-10% rule basically. Great vid btw , much love and support from Argentina!

[@GirlsLiftToo]

Awesome tips right here =] !!!

[@JeunoTheHallowed]

Very helpful and informative video Scott. Watched the whole thing. While I tried the IIFYM gig a year ago, I agree with you, it's flawed. I lost weight fast, but like you mentioned, was thin-flabby. My skin is catching up with the loss of fat now. However, I want to be lean muscle. This info was great for those who haven't figured it out yet! Keep up the awesome job man!

[@XKobe]

very educational, thanks for this video

[@jaybird7305]

AWESOME VIDEO SCOTT :)

[@JorgeInternacional]

Best video about reasons to not be losing fat!!

[@DavidKFZ]

I can confirm the first point from personal experience: cleaner and more wholesome, micro dense foods WILL make you have lower bodyfat % (and I felt stronger too with faster gains). I can confirm the next point about limiting calorie deficit from personal experience with slight variation: I dropped daily calorie intake from 2500-3000 calories down to 1000-1200 with extremely small amounts of carbs. I dropped the fat I wanted but also lost muscle mass and strength with it.

[@dancharak6300]

Great as always..thank you

[@EricCartmanFTW]

I appreciate the clear concise content thanks scott! :)

Watching this makes me wanna cry, because it made me realise how hard I derailed with training and eating over christmas...

[@AdamEvans416]

Great video, #leangains is the way to go! Eating clean vs GMO/Gluten crap; there's a noticeable difference even in one's mood

[@92890javier]

I quit eating fast food every day. I eat it once every other week but at home I eat typical dinner meals but I think they are high on carbs. I need to eat more fruits and vegs. I have cut back on soda a lot. At the gym I work a lot of muscles like biceps, chest, triceps, shoulders and cardio for 20 mins.

[@jacobsmith433]

Thanks buddy good videos

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Jacob!

[@Maxpudz]

Scott your a legend keep up the good work and i respect that you give all this advice for free!

[@thechoomofdoom6979]

Just do intermittent fasting, drink nothing but water (lemon water even better) and green tea, HIIT workouts (in fasted state to even further maximize fat burning), and NO sugar! Burning fat is all about stabilizing your insulin. Hint: Add Ceylon Cinnamon to your diet (very beneficial to help stabilize and lower blood sugar and help with sugar cravings)

[@StereoDecks]

This video needs to go 100% viral! just to teach people about food! because they leave school for example, and have no idea what they are doing, so they just buy cheap food.
