Thanks for the video. I went down from 22stone to 17ish at the moment I think you are spot on Re your thinking. I use my joy of running to fuel my motivation for loosing more fat/weight. As you say it gets easier with ever bit you loose. It's really easy to put it on but takes longer to loose. I think of it as a year plan, with a goal written down Keep up the videos. You deserve more views and I hope you get them

Hey man that's a great achievement. I definitely agree, setting long terms goals is far more beneficial that looking at short term results as this can from time to time be disheartening, especially if you have had a bad day/week. Good luck with your continued weight loss and i'm glad that your enjoying the channel.

My advice from personal experience: 1. permanent weight loss is all about what you put in your mouth, very little to do with what exercise you do; 2. Carbs are your enemy, remove them from your diet (all of them, including fruits and vegetables); 3. Eat foods 100% derived from animals only; 4. Do not count calories, eat as much as you need to feel comfortably full; 5. Watch the kgs just drop off effortlessly. Trust me, this works.

Hi Alec, I appreciate you commenting, there are many ways in which different people can target weight loss. I am a firm believer that healthy balanced diet (I hate that word) combined with physical activity leads a healthier and slimmer version of yourself. I also believe that the activity itself, whatever it may be, helps those that may be suffering, whether that be mental health, anxiety or anything else. My methodology is to work on a calorie deficit while taking in a good balance of Protein, Fats and Carbs. The carbs are required to fuel the body for exercise. All of this said, i am not a qualified, Medical Professional, Nutritionalist or Physical Training Instructor, I am merely telling my story with the hope of helping others.

@@beckettruns-gettingoutgett7189 Good luck! I hope you are part of the 5% that makes the calorie counting strategy work. The reason why it usually doesn’t work long term is you need to keep your insulin low to be able to access your fat stores. If you are in any way insulin resistant (highly likely that you are), then eating carbs will result in prolonged high insulin which blocks fat burning, makes your tired, and long term reduces your base metabolic rate, which leads to long term weight rebound.

Running is full of money making/get faster quick schemes... only the diet/nutrition *industry* has more quacks and ways to make your wallet lighter! You sound as if you are being very sensible in both areas! 😁

Agreed, there are many "fads" which you can pick up online that will show very quick short term goals, I have never followed these and prefer to opt for balance & exercise with long term realistic goals rather than short term targets.
