[@sunnyplace729]

Dude, this video caused an epiphany for me. I "suddenly" gained about 50 lbs 8 years ago and I've been trying to lose it by adding a workout and cutting calories ever since. Long story short, after watching your video I realized my weight gain happened within 2 years of my divorce and my kids going off to college. I went from caring for a family of 4 in a 5 bed home to caring for myself in a 1 bed condo. I just move a lot less now outside of exercise! My daughter has also been complaining about gaining weight, and because of your video I was able to tell her that it's because she went from working events to a WFH desk job. Thank you SO much.

Essentially doing more gym 4 - 6 times a week, walking, swimming etc etc. Going to take me another 12 - 18 months to lose the last 84lb. But I've noticed my Frame is changing as I've been continuing to exercise. If you fuck up and have a pizza that's fine get back on it. If you fuck up and have a dirty weekend get back on it. Consistency and commitment is the key! Find a reason that works for you!

[@greentruck2wa]

I was originally not gonna watch because of the title, but I'm glad I did. Great message. I've been saying this for the last 11 years. Moving around more often is what has kept my weight off, not just exercising. And don't overindulge when you eat. I dropped 85 lbs back in 2011 doing this. Been following the same principle ever since. And the weight has never returned.

[@michaelgraflmusic]

When I exercise regularly (e.g. weight lifting for 45 minutes 3 times a week) my eating habits change a lot without putting in much conscious effort. I stop craving junk food and my appetite goes down despite needing a bit more energy overall. I think this is the general experience from what I've read and heard. When exercise is recommended for weight loss, I'd like to see the effect on appetite as the main reason. If you start thinking about the extra calories you burn through exercise and how low that number is, you'll just end up disappointed or overexert yourself and get depressed and discouraged.

[@purpletree8294]

Interesting. Certainly for me, and I assumed the majority of people. Regular exercise makes me much more hungry. That’s why I find tracking calories in to be such a useful tool.

[@nannoreul]

This is me for sure. I crave food, but I crave protein and veggies and stop craving sugar, which helps me lean out.

[@mmhnma]

[@westfieldartworks8188]

This man is 100% correct...and in nowhere is he wrong. Mr. Smith is a breath a fresh air. I learned that walking 3 X 30 minutes per day for a total of 90 minutes, was the KEY to getting lean. That level of movement not only burns lots of calories, but it gets your blood sugar levels under control, which makes you crave less food and sugar. 90 minutes of walking per day also gets Leptin and Ghrelin hormones in the brain functioning in top form with helps with hunger and satiety signaling from the brain.......which along with controlled blood sugar, makes healthy eating more doable and fun. Cheers to this channel and to James Smith.

[@drood7835]

I'm so glad this video and others like it exist. The amount of excuses ive heard from friends and family about why they cant lose weight, or why they dont have time to train is insane. I just keep telling them to eat less calories and i ALWAYS get "oh but its because of this or that etc"

[@Nightman9001]

Accountability is a foreign concept to a lot of people. At least, as far as weight is concerned. I say this having lost over 50lbs of fat in the last 15ish months while building a solid bit of muscle weight training. It's true that it's easier for some than others, and we all have a different relationship to food, but it astonishes me the mental gymnastics a lot of fat people go to in order to avoid admitting that they're just not ready to make changes. It's like fine, look, you don't have to want to try and move toward a healthier weight, but stop acting like it's out of your control; It isn't. Be. Accountable.

[@Joe-nh8eq]

It took me trying to gain weight to finally realize why I could never successfully lose weight. I was always fair active but would constantly yo-yo diet. Eventually, I fell of the bandwagon completely and gained 150lbs I underwent a bariatric procedure, and lost a tremendous amount of weight to the point where my surgeon asked me to try to gain some weight. So I dialed back my workouts and ate a little bit more. I felt super energetic throughout the entire day, way better. Step on the scale, and I actually lost weight. And it finally freaking clicked. I had more energy and was running around all day long. All those years, I would busy my ass in the gym and then spend the rest of the day half passed out on the couch and starving. No wonder I could never maintain. Work out to strengthen the heart and the body. But NEAT is how you lose weight and keep it off. It took me decades of trying different diets and workouts and life altering surgery to figure it all out. I hope somebody reads this, and doesn’t have to learn the lesson the same way I did.

[@zoltanzukaly7231]

Awesome video, that's what I've been saying for years, it is not in the interest of the fitness industry to make people understand the principle, because once they understand it, you cannot say that they lost the weight due to your awesome, totally new carb cycling method. It was definitely the method, and not the fact that they cut out that half loaf of bread and that 800 calories from their diet, that they have previously eaten, every single day.

[@brightonmischief]

Dropped down to 1 healthy meal a day (mostly, but not religiously), drinking plenty of water and walking more. Seeing massive results, but no idea exactly how much I've lost because I'm just trying to make it sustainable, and sustainable for me doesn't mean living on the scales, or staring at a spreadsheet all day, it's just getting on with my life. When I've dropped down to a weight where I feel like hitting the gym, I'll probably start some training. Love your no crap approach, James - I've been taken in by the people you speak of in the past and it never did squat, and it wasn't until I saw this video a couple of months ago that I realised the NEAT stuff is far more important.

[@devintompkins9626]

I simply stopped counting calories and just count my daily protein and I'm still losing weight. I use IF, omad on carnivore. No veggies needed. I have lost 115lbs and feel fantastic since I started 1y ago. Great video and yes these are useful tools. You HAVE to get the processed carbs and sugars out of your system if you ever have hope of profound success in losing weight and keeping it off. Just don't forget to keep your electrolytes up.

I completely changed my relationship with food last year. I stopped fast food, I embraced hunger, and I got into a habit of fasting about 12 hours of every day. I now eat fast food a little but I put serious limits on any fast food orders (400 calorie limit) and I started doing little things like eating oats before bed or drinking water when I was hungry instead of eating. I lost 35 lb. I've also done a lot of body weight exercising. It was a tough change to make, but I focused on enjoying the food I eat and eating foods that I enjoyed and just tracking my macros.

[@1992deathsnake]

this is so gold, been trying to explain this for a while to some ppl who basically want a method that works, but complain calorie counting is too hard and anoying. yes it's hard and annoying, but you do think twice eating a cookie when you realize you gotta log it. And it slaps you in the face when you realize that cookie was 80 calories, and 3 of those cookies are the equivalent of a chicken breast 🤣 Btw, that doesn't mean i don't have cookies when i really feel like, i just think twice and then do it anyways (and log it - always 😁)

[@leightonp8496]

it gets easy through experience too cos lets face it we eat the same meals most of the time, so after a few weeks you will instinctively know how many calories you're taking in.

How refreshing to find someone who cuts through the BS and gets straight to the nub of the issue without trying to profit from it. My recipe for weight loss. Daily walk of 3.5-4 miles at a reasonable lick whilst wearing a 10kg weight vest. I am down 20+ kilos (from 99kg to 77kg) in 6 months. Appetite has diminished as a result so eating less - try and keep junk to a minimum. Not difficult - just requires a little discipline to develop the daily habit and then stick to it. Subbed.

I lost over 120 pounds since June 2021, and maintaining at just above 200 since February, by understanding the principal as you called it. My way to it was gradual changes to make them habit/lifestyle. You're absolutely right that there's too much emphasis on the tools (diets and eating schedules).

[@snakejazz]

After years of researching keto I finally tried it last year for nearly 4 months. Never seen fat melt off my body so quickly, never felt better in my entire life. I've been doing intermittent fasting for years now, especially during a cut. Works wonders. Not sure why so much shit gets talked about these methods. I just assume majority of people who say they're doing these methods really aren't fully committed, are hilariously inconsistent, or are just lying to themselves and others.

[@Chris-fh3qv]

Because Keto literally eliminates a whole macro nutrient. Hormonally and nutritionally Carbodhydrates are very important and essential for the body. Ketosis is the body going in to starvation, sounds a bit extreme no? Why not cut the carbs down, up the protein and stay within your calorie deficit. Much healthier and will allow you to have good energy levels for working out and just being bloody happy in general.

[@snakejazz]

@@Chris-fh3qv starvation is when you're not eating period. Restricting foods is just fine, albeit I wouldn't say the ketogenic diet is something people should do for longer than a few months because of the restrictions. Just don't confuse restriction with starvation, although they may coincide, they are very different things. Also the keto diet doesn't completely negate carbs, you still eat some just very little. Ketones that your liver produces offer a plenty good alternative solution to exogenous energy sources, if not better in some aspects i.e. for brain health. I would agree what you said is technically the "healthier" option, but doing a keto diet for a couple months isn't something that would put your health at risk in almost any capacity. Like, I could say eating a salad everyday for a week is healthier than eating pizza for a week, but eating pizza for a week won't kill you.

James! I've recently come across your channel and I gotta say your humor is fucking outstanding lol. I can't get over the dropping the shit bits it is comical! I never comment on anything truly your channel is one of the first. I enjoy the laughs I'm getting from your channel and love hearing the truths you spill. Genuine comedy and truthful information. Wish there were were more like you!

James I stumbled across your channel recently and have gone down the rabbit hole of watching your videos. What an absolute lad you are, honest information told in a way that’s fucking hilarious. Keep being you brother 💪🏼👍🏻

Straight talking!!! I had a personal trainer from an expensive gym once who told me I wasn't eating enough which was why I wasn't losing any weight!!!! I only had the 1 session with him and that was a waste of money!

[@Jafmanz]

He was probably right. Metabolism is a factor.

[@Fitnesseuphonium]

He may have been correct if you were being totally honest about how much you were eating . Reverse dieting is a thing to increase your metabolism. You need to be in a surplus to build muscle too.

Loving your videos lad , your bang on about everything. Diet is the hardest part I find.

[@leightonp8496]

diet, diet, diet for weight loss. Exercise is the cherry on top and as you say it's great to get stronger, have a healthy heart and great for your mental health. Exercise shouldn't be a chore it should be enjoyable, everyone should be able to find some sort of activity they enjoy doing that doesn't feel like a burden.

Personally I started my mornings with a coffee ….. and then I eat two meals of what ever I want between 2pm and 6 pm …. I train hard and have lost 2 stone in three weeks and I feel and look so much better … also snacking and crap sugar is no more

[@90s_dreams]

Very similar to me i dont eat on a morning just use black coffee to supress hunger then i aim to eat 3 good meals from lunch onwards, and for me my last meal is oats protien and honey its sweet and its satisfying stops me eating crap in the evenings, and been in a defict still ive leaned right down , and now i got a calorie base number i can now play around with bulking and cutting with the bulking not over doing it , slow and steady.
