I stand to be corrected, but I think your conversion to litres is incorrect. For a 100kg person, 0.3 litre/kilo of bodyweight would equate to 30 litres of water per day, which is 6.6 UK gallons, or 7.9 US gallons. That's an almighty amount of water (and visits to the toilet).

The key for weight loss is to stay in caloric deficit, follow clean diet, and work as hard as you can, and fat layers will become thinner and thinner. I am talking from my personal experience, but I have to say that your tips also helped me to lose 80lbs in 7 months. It didn't come over night, but I feel better than ever :) The most helpful part was sticking to a meal plan that kept me in a caloric deficit (I got mine at OnlyMeal, but there is lots of options out there. I just think this is the best one).

[@tomsamek2936]

Dear Jeff, EXCELLENT 10 minutes explanation. I am over 70, and I can attest to the efficacy of your eating strategies as I use all of them. I try to reach ZERO starchy carbs. I recommend that people write down what they eat in a journal. The only thing that I think needs a bit more expansion is "hydration'. Some people confuse thirst with hunger, so drinking water all day can help. But, especially when I'm in ketosis, I need electrolytes in my water else I deplete my essential minerals. The electrolytes are required to metabolize fat. When I do more than 1 hour of extreme road biking, I never eat, I just drink water with electrolytes to get energy. I use salt or sodium bicarbonate plus creme of tarter and a magnesium citrate pill (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to achieve. I wonder what you advise. Also, drinking water at night can be problematic since you need to get up to pee. Do you have a more nuanced view of hydration to share?

[@ahaskarkarde4163]

It's been a while since I have started watching his videos and his biceps already seem to have doubled in size !

[@DancinDane]

From Wikipedia: "According to inflation theory, Jeff's biceps suddenly expanded during the inflationary epoch (about 10−32 of a second after the Big Bang), and its volume increased by a factor of at least 1078 (an expansion of distance by a factor of at least 1026 in each of the three dimensions). This would be equivalent to expanding an object 1 nanometer across (10−9 m, about half the width of a molecule of DNA) to one approximately 10.6 light-years across (about 1017 m, or 62 trillion miles)."

Great intro to intermittent fasting video. I sent it to a few family members who had asked me about it previously since it explains it so much better than I did lol

[@aresvonmars9708]

I always wonder why guys like Athlean-X never clarify whether the protein intake is based on actual bodyweight, desired bodyweight or anything else. What I found out that works is 1 gram per lb based on your FFM (fat free mass). So if you weigh 200 lbs and have a fat% of 30% your FFM is 140 lbs. Your body will require at least 140 grams of protein. That's it. Aim to 'feed' all the active tissue (muscle, bones, organs etc.).

[@aarondavis9437]

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for your comment!

[@tallmantoo]

[@alexizpedraza3867]

@@tallmantooget a weight scale that measures body fat. It’s does so using the Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. While it isn’t the most accurate, it can be consistent and a good tool to track progress. The best tool to measure body fat is your eyes lol. Good luck 👍🏻

[@PSA78]

There are people who clarify it and have charts, but it's a bit more complicated to go by LBM as there's not a single way of measuring accurately, so... general suggestions of g/body weight is pretty much as likely to be accurate. Otherwise it's LBM, age (we need more as we get old) and calorie balance (we need more when we lose weight or try to gain muscles). Sometimes it's also the source as plant protein might require a bit more. But most people just need to get in the ballpark. 😄

[@joetacchino4470]

I feel you, it’s hard. Try making meals you can eat cold. I eat a lot of sandwiches on whole grain 100 calorie English muffins or flatbreads. Toast ahead of time, no heating necessary. Cut veggies (carrots, red peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc) with low fat, low cal dips like those based on Greek yogurt (tzatziki, bolthouse farms ranch, etc). Plus fruit (pineapple, grapes, apple, orange slices). And then maybe a small treat like rice chips (but measured 1 portion or less). Sandwich should,be lean protein like lean roast beef, pork tenderloin, chicken breast or tuna however you like. Avoid cheese. Prepped ahead of time, this can be stored in a lunchbox with ice pack and eaten with no prep. It’s filling (lot of fiber from fruit and veggies, and protein) and takes some time to eat, meaning you will get full without over eating.

THE BREAKDOWN: 00:00 Intro - Jeff Cavalier presents the video as the ultimate guide to getting lean, leveraging his personal success and simplifying the approach for consistent results. 00:30 Identify Eating Challenges - Determine whether the primary issue is overeating due to poor portion control or grazing from irregular eating times. 01:09 Implement Intermittent Fasting for Grazers - Adopt an intermittent fasting lifestyle by restricting eating to specific windows (4, 6, or 8 hours). - Start with an 8-hour window for beginners to control grazing habits effectively. 02:14 Schedule Your Eating Window - Adjust the eating window to avoid problematic times, such as work hours, ensuring reduced temptation to graze. - Example: If grazing occurs from 9 AM to 5 PM, set the eating window from 1 PM to 5 PM. 03:36 Portion Control for Overeaters - Focus on managing carbohydrate intake, as carbs are often the main culprit in overeating. - Use a visual plate partition method to control portion sizes without needing to count calories. 04:12 Plate Partitioning Strategy - Divide the plate into sections: largest portion for protein, next for fibrous carbohydrates, and smallest for starchy carbohydrates. - This visual guide helps balance macronutrients and prevent overeating, especially of starchy carbs. 05:39 Benefits of Plate Partitioning - Controls portion sizes of high-calorie starchy carbs. - Increases intake of lower-calorie, fiber-rich foods for better satiety and weight loss. 06:32 Combine Fasting with Plate Partitioning - Integrate intermittent fasting with the plate partitioning method for a comprehensive approach to calorie control and weight loss. 07:31 Prioritize Protein Intake - Consume 1 to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight to preserve and build lean muscle. - Maintaining muscle mass supports a higher metabolism, aiding long-term weight management. 08:58 Ensure Adequate Hydration - Drink between 0.5 to 0.75 ounces of water per pound of body weight daily. - Utilize zero-calorie beverages like green tea or sparkling water to meet hydration goals without adding calories. 10:35 Four-Step Weight Loss Formula 1. Identify your eating problem (overeating or grazing). 2. Apply intermittent fasting or portion control as needed. 3. Prioritize high-quality protein intake to maintain muscle. 4. Ensure adequate hydration to support overall health and weight loss. 11:18 Conclusion and Resources - Jeff emphasizes the simplicity and effectiveness of the outlined steps. - Encourages viewers to visit aex.com for meal plans, workout programs, and supplements. - Invites viewers to subscribe and share the video for additional support.

[@brianforsythe1125]

I skip the starchy carbs and replace it with fat for more satiety. It helps with the fasting.

[@dantheman6931]

Yup! People who are making this change to lose a ton of weight should combine fasting with keto and exercise. Jeff eats everything but he exercises professionally. For the rest of us who don’t have a lot of time to work out, what you eat has the greatest effect on your weight and health.

[@PSA78]

The food with the highest satiating index is potatoes, but if it works for you then it's what matters. In the end it's all about finding a way to control calorie balance for weight, but it can be different what people find easy to adhere to. I have tried all sorts of ratios during different stages of calorie balance and I do prefer a fair amount of carbs, at least when I'm cutting some weight, but the trick is really just to find what's easiest for the individual. 👍

This us my only meal... I always gave watermelon, blueberries, 2 lemons, broccoli or are veggies.. red onions, red cabbage. No I don't eat all these every day.. just my main source of food.. my protein I only eat twice a week about 4-6 oz.... I drink nothing but water, which I average a gallon to 1 1/2 every day... I also take muti vitamins. When I started this diet I was 378 as of 12-19-2024 my weight has dropped to 265 pounds... I'm disable so I can't do muck without.. i do situp-crunches at least 200 a day... If your doctors tells you that you can't heal your kidneys they are LIARS !!!! I went and had another blood test andd I went from stage 3 kidney failure to no problems with my kidneys.. GRF went from 54 to now 98 !!! I did all of this in 6 months... Don't do what I laid out here .. I have lost to much muscle from not eating enough protein... I'm going to buy his vegan protein powder.. so I can get more protein as im adding in some light weight training with many reps...

Classic grazer here. The restricted eating didn’t work for me with the key goal: protein amounts. I could never fit in the protein in time allowed during time restricted eating. I am struggling at the best of times with it. What really helped me is the “protein first” approach. I build my plate around protein now and 2nd focus is on fibre (mostly veg, some grains). Both are so hard to consume enough of that I don’t graze at all anymore. I am stuffed after meals and can easily wait until the next one. It’s nuts that I had to get that old to realize I am (massively) under-eating protein and fibre. Craving and grazing are completely gone. AND I don’t feel like I am on a diet or deprived of anything.

You should consume 1 - 1.2 gr/lb of protein per DAY not per meal.

[@russellanderson2955]

Is the protein intake based on your current weight or the weight you want to be?

[@PSA78]

LBM, age and calorie balance, but that's a bit more difficult. Most people just go by their current weight, you might have less lean mass, but you're trying to lose weight (which requires more protein to maintain muscles) and you're hopefully resistance training during the weightloss to maintain or possibly even build a little muscles (and as before that requires a bit more). Around 1g/1lb is a standard starting recommendation for most people.

But how do we get 200g (I'm 200 lbs) of protein within 4 hour window? I'm currently getting my 180g-200g of protein using 3 shakes and one meal (dinner). Is it ok to still have shakes outside your feeding window in order to distribute protein intake for max absorbtion?

[@samitouman7015]

Do a 8 hour window, with 200g protein u not gonna get hungry.

[@johnhall869]

@@samitouman7015 but is 8 hours enough time to absorb 200g of protein? I guess I need to do some research on protein absorbtion.

[@samitouman7015]

@@johnhall869 u not gonna absorb them immediately. Protein u eat at the end of the window will be in your system for hours and hours. The body is smarter than you think. Protein u eat at the beginning of the window will digest faster because u have been without food for 16 hours. Most people eat in a 8hour window without realising it. Thats plenty of time dont overthink it. Just hit your protein with atleast 2 meals.

Can u please update full body home workout which you uploaded during covid

[@djbokasuja]

i'm not fluent in english. please, did you say that we should eat for (only) 8 hours a day for starters, but improve it to 4h a day? is it possible? do you do it? is it just for people who overeat during the day? i'll adapt the oz/lb to mL/kg to make it easier to understand. ty for the video.

[@rbowdenscipio3408]

Yes, you understand it! Example 8 hours: eat all of your calories during hours 10-18; but then cut your feeding window to 6 hours (12-18) and eventually down to 4 hours (14-18.) When to shorten the window? When you see no change in weight over the course of 1.5-2 weeks.

Glad you said you hate the word diet, everyone uses the word to mean "fad weight loss techniques" but diet literally means "The food you intake" aka everyone is dieting all the time assuming they're eating.
