Don't have a cheat day, have a maintenance day. That way you get to eat what you want, without gaining any weight. Just don't go over what your maintenance calories are.

[@Kkrider84]

This. I've been trying to do this. I inevitably eat more on one or two days a week that puts me at my maintenance, and I've lost a few pounds and kept it off

[@VRIceblast]

@@Kkrider84 It also helps your body not to adapt to your lower diet calories, keeping your maintenance calories high.

Adding to #13 : Don't rush changing everything at once. It takes time to get into a new habit. Start with one Change at a time and see if it works for you. You'll get into it soon enough and might even see that it a) Works for you and b) You even "need" it if you couldn't do it one Day.

[@adamstevenson6444]

That’s a good point. Also, the beautiful thing about small, incremental changes is that you don’t burn through all the tools in your arsenal and have no tricks left when you plateau. No sense in 45 min cardio a day and cutting 1000 kcals out a day and IF and low carb all at once. Minimum necessary force.

[@dyderich]

All solid advice as usual. I lost 140 lbs gained 20 back over the holidays. Back on track for over 2 months now. Working on my dream body. I may never get there but I'm healthier and happier in my 50's than I ever was in my 40's.

[@joshua4226]

A good cheat meal for me is roughly 1500-2000 calories. If I know I’m gonna want one a certain week, I plan ahead and evenly cut out those calories from each day of the week before it, so that at the end of the week, I am still within my caloric goal

That was the best decision I made in a long time. I got plan from Next Level Diet and they basically do the thinking for me. They count calories, find my recipes and tell me which exercises to do.

[@Mcruz0r]

Thanks for validating the cheat day issue. Struggled with hitting sub 10% body fat until I realized that I had no justification for eating that much on cheat days without EARNING them. Tapering cals before and after cheat day and doing extra cardio really helped make cheat days work.

8:00 I thought I magically got a cat in my house lol, this a great video and I agree with a lot of things you've said especially that small changes can make a big difference later on, I personally wasn't aware of how much calories there is in salads with dressing, olive oil and all other foods until I looked back at the nutrition facts. Its just crazy how much calories there is in peanut butter, olive oil like you would never think that's much calories cause we heard that its healthy and healthy = less calories which isn't true most of the time.

Healthy does not mean less calories at all! Look at avacadoes!

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

fruits: fructose is bad for your liver, certainly worse than refined sugar, not as bad as alcohol though. So medical advise and nutritionist advise is - IF you suffer from fatty liver or liver problems, avoid fructose and alcohol, and cut down sugar in general all of these put additional pressure on your liver. If you have a healthy liver, it can handle as much fructose as you want - stop drinking alcohol start eating fruit

Not sure if you will ever see this, but you were one of my biggest influences to start losing weight and change my life for the better. September 2020 I started out as 346lbs, and made my way to now being 198lbs. Your videos helped me to stay motivated and to keep pushing towards my goals, to be more healthy, and to feel better in my own body. Combining that with the amount of knowledge ive gotten from your videos to differentiate the good from the bad. Im now on my way to working on my first bodybuilding contest in 2 years seeing as how muscular ive gotten in just 9 months of properly weightlifting. My life has changed forever thanks to you!

Number 5 is also true about all drinks. I like to make hot chocolate by melting dark chocolate and adding it up milk, I use sugar free maple syrup to sweeten it. But I add caramel drizzle and I think I need to cut that out. It has a lot of calories and even a drizzle is going to add a hundred calories to my drink.

You are correct since I went vegan it’s harder to stay lean….however my choice to eat the plant based diet was prompted by my disenchantment with the meat and dairy industry and not based on my health

For me personally it's been easy to gain muscle, but it probably varies between different people. I've been trying to eat mostly raw and got good results and cut out processed foods. Maybe that helps :)

[@RemViolet]

My cheat days usually aren't super high in calories, moreso they just are me eating some of the unhealthy stuff one day. I eat a lower amount of food in the morning, and I keep it to my healthy stuff, then I usually end up eating out, and eat unhealthier food. At worst it makes me go from 1600-1800 calories to 1800-2200 which is still a deficit for me at 208 pounds I believe. Usually after cheat days I end up noticing I lost a pound, obviously not BECAUSE of the cheat day, but because I make sure a cheat day doesn't = pig out to the point I feel bloated.

I'm a vegan and gained a lot of muscle on my diet and feel good :D but that's because I'm actively watching my food intake and mostly eating raw and no ,,fake foods". But you're right being vegan isn't an excuse ro not eat healthy, althought I think it's great for many other reasons other than health.

[@chimeiamv]

At 6:19: this can be true but you have to be careful with it. A lot of people (myself included) were in junk-free households as kids, and when we grew up we binged on fast food, "kids'" snacks, sugar cereals, and anything we were told was off limits. Our parents thought they were doing what was best for us, but kids don't grow up in a vacuum, and are being exposed to other kids eating these things and feeling left out. A better step if you're trying to lose weight, instill healthy habits in your kids, or both, would be to allow yourself and the kids these things sometimes, but not all the time. That way it doesn't become some glimmering taboo drug shining above them for life, and they'll see it just for what it is: sugary food.
