Why You're Not LOSING FAT (5 Mistakes You Don't Realize You're Making) | Mind Pump 1847

I love how Justin is a bit more quiet than Adam and Sal but when he speaks he always has something great to say.

[@Sweetiepea09999]

This podcast episode saved my life, no joke. I was 210 pounds dropped to 154 in 5 months. I was lifting weights twice for 45 minutes a day, getting in 35,000 steps a day. From the time I woke up in the morning to the time I went to bed I sat down less than 2 hours day. I'm a stay-at-home mom so I used all my time trying to get in shape. I started off with a severe calorie deficit, I mean less than 500 calories a day, 350 mgs of caffeine daily with cleaning my house when everyone went to bed because of all the caffeine and the deficit I could not sleep. My body hurt to just lay down. It got so bad my mother-in-law was trying to 5150 me into a E.D rehabilitation center. Of course at 154 lb they would not take me. I watched this video looked up info and lowered my step amount and started overwhelming my body with raw veggies, water and lean protein. Took 3 weeks of that to see the scale move down. I am 143 now, my face doesn't look so dead, my body is looking so much different, now my goal is toned not skinny. I will forever love these men. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brittanygray2742]

When I first started listening to the podcast I was maintaining my weight running 2x a day. I'm now maintaining weightlifting and walking for 30 minutes. I've had family members complain to me they are fat bc they hate running and they just blink at me when I say I quit running and I just walk and lift weights. Thank you guys so much.

[@jbb8261]

Every time I bring up weights they’re like “I don’t want to get bulky” and then they ask what I’m doing to stay in shape and it’s WEIGHTS

[@JDAfrica]

I had my toe amputated when I was a teen - and as I’ve aged, put on fat because I literally couldn’t do cardio (my shoe would fill with blood or my foot would swell up so I hobbled). Tried to “get in shape” every few years but simply cannot do any cardio. It got to the point when with the extra weight - my hip alignment went out and I was on constant pain killers and muscle relaxers. I started lifting dumbbells a month ago, after hearing the guys here talking to Dr Lyon. Man, I’ve been dropping weight/fat quick, and I feel better than I have in 20 years.

@@JDAfricaThis response really touched my heart. I’m a metastatic breast cancer survivor, at the gym b/t reps NOW. When I started PT, then cardio & weight training, I was able to go off all my pain meds. I’m 47yo now, & in the best shape of my entire life! I’m happy to hear of your success, too!!

[@melindamercier6811]

Man I wanna cry. The entire segment on fixing a metabolism that’s adapted to the calorie deficits was such an eye opener. I knew a lot of this stuff, but there were nuggets of pure gold information that I desperately needed to hear as someone who’s lived on the cusp of an eating disorder/body dysmorphia. Thank you.

Been watching for about a year now. Had a stroke and found yall in an attempt to fix my health and fitness. Because I watch all the time the wife has been overhearing it and now she's started her journey too. It's awesome finally having fitness as a shared interest. Thanks for all yall do.

[@brandonsellers1076]

Minus the stroke, I'm doing the same thing now, having my wife listen while I intentionally watch. I'm currently 290 and want to be 220. Their advice and discussions are so rock solid. I can't wait to consistently implement the knowledge and see the results. Praying for your health. Recovery. And reinforced strength. ❤️

[@vince_atrium]

There are many fitness advice outlets out there. Nothing has inspired me, blown my mind, guided me on my fitness journey and compelled me to help others on their fitness journey MORE than Mind Pump. I'm ALWAYS learning something new and using that information to build my personal training clientele. And THEY are benefiting so much. But of course I cannot take the credit. I always direct people to this channel and they all find something that speaks to them. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving away so much free content. You're the only fitness podcast/channel I take seriously.

[@jbfoell]

This episode was extremely helpful. I’ve been in a plateau for about a year now and couldn’t figure out what to change to fix it. Started averaging my calorie intake for the week instead of just for the day and found we were eating way too much on the weekends and didn’t realize it. We also started lifting heavy for less reps and cutting out the high reps/lower weight and it has made a difference instantly.

[@kristinfttb1577]

Amazing content! I have a client that lost 50 lbs since January! He is plateauing and is frustrated and is a SCIENCE GUY and wants to know the WHY! Thanks for helping me to communicate with him❤️

[@gregoryouellette1023]

Have been an avid watcher for about six months now, and this episode above any other that I watched before has spoken incredible amounts of volume to me. From May 2021, to May 2022 I went from 300 pounds to 220 Pounds, and have since been stuck around that weight since. Put on significant amounts of muscle and that weight loss had been relatively easy, and progressive up until this point. So I did everything this episode said to avoid, ramped up intensity, started doing HITT style mixed with strength workouts, lowered calories even more, hovering right around 2000-2200, can’t remember the last “rest day” I took trying to work through what in my head is a hard plateau. Thinking it might be time to sit back and reflect what’s really going on. As always amazing content 🤘🏼

[@ileanas1103]

This hit home specially the part that you said when a client came to you saying they’ve gained weight and you as their trainer thought they were cheating. That happened to me so many times when I KNEW I had not cheated. It was so deflating and I lost faith and figured it was me something was wrong with me… and gave it up. Till years later I decided to go more functional and understanding my body as you have stated it all here. Thank you for being open and sharing this wealth of info.

[@jackmango5603]

Track calories for information and consistency. Weigh yourself daily and take weekly averages to track progress. Get a step counter and set a goal to make sure your neat doesn’t go down as your body adapts. Those three things were an absolute game changer for me.

[@louthawriter]

Learning how to be patient with the weight loss process has been a game changer for me. Can't wait to see where I am at the end of the year.

[@nikolatesla-ey7ru]

How's it going?

[@julia.holod_7]

Before listening to your podcasts I was running 12 miles three times a week to maintain my body weight and I was eating around 2000 kcal After listening to your podcasts I run just once a week and not for the fat loss, but because I love it and I added one more resistance workout a week and now I eat around 3000 kcal and look and feel much better 💗

[@DarkoFitCoach]

So ur not maintaining that weight now since u soend less and intake more. U were starving urself. Now u eat more and maintain a higher bodyweight and feel better

[@kellyfennessey404]

I’ve been so scared to eat 2,000 calories, I been at 1,700 to 1,800 for years now. I will bump it to 2,100, get nervous and kick it back down

[@DarkoFitCoach]

@@kellyfennessey404 why would u be scared to eat a specific caloric number? Simply calculate ur maintenance calories and eat this every day. It aint emotional its just math. Give the body what inrequires every day. Do u also torture ur car like this? It needs 30liters per week but u give it 25 cause ur "afraid"? Or do u give ur car simple as much as it needs

[@gracedwithmission8644]

​@kellyfennessey404 I feel you. Listen to your body and maybe can increase by 50-100 calories or so a week for gradually changes

[@kayleegoff5210]

Im a trainer and ALWAYS struggling with helping clients with these issues. So many people just decide to starve themselves and it’s so sad! So excited to hear how you communicate this to clients to help them better understand how to boost their metabolism!

[@KITKATHERO]

Yes! Clients hit a plateau and next thought is cut cals drastically. So glad to hear Mindpump talk about this art of patience and mentality

[@neve_isobel3549]

For you, as a trainer, thank you for putting in the work to explain that eating healthy matters! As my first time competing it's shocking to have been in numerous group conversations where I was the only one on more than 1600 during a cut and bulk! One women even commented to say she was on only 800 which is just insane to me

It might seem repetitive, but these are great reminders for anyone who is (or have historically) went through a fat loss journey.

[@TBird5790]

I just love your podcasts, and get so much out of these. I wonder if you have ever worked with someone who has had Polio, and so has some severe nerve associated muscle loss over decades. That's my story. I'm also a senior, at 66 years, but want to buckle down. I'm in that plateau realm now. I have watched your videos on Visceral Fat, along with Dr. Sean Omara, and Dr. Hyman.

[@marywallace4065]

I found your show when spotify recommended you to me. I LOVE it! I love the varied content you present. I love that you bring women to lifting, you make it OK. I wish you were around 40 years ago, it was intimidating around all guys. Most women would do aerobics, sometimes with light weights. I admire all of you for the respect you show to people and for the knowledge you share. I find it motivating & encouraging. Thanks for including old people too.

[@DaTaRaZoR]

Thanks for another eye-opening episode guys. Many ppl, me included, have had the same issues, reaching that point where we just cant break though, trying this and that , going to extremes to lose that precious 0.1 kg, waking up to looking soft and bloated and wondering why the heck it is that I look that way after putting so much effort into it. Sharing your personal experience makes it so much more genuine . Thumbs up and much respect to another great video !

[@alohalani9743]

Little 👨‍🍳 chef is back! Finally, the reason why I’m not losing weight has come fruition. I don’t think I’m in a plateau but I know I need to eat more to lose weight. Also, heavy weights to challenge myself has made a difference. BUT- how do I know what my body needs? When tracking calories/macros? Like fiber, carbs?

[@stormrhode2330]

It might be difficult for a lot of people, but the true key to general health is nurturing a passion for it. But this drive toward health is like a flower. Not enough focus and your health will wither; too much fervor and you bloat and break down. Fostering this healthy attitude can really lead to lasting physical and mental health. But like all things, you gotta find a balance.

[@martyhelfrich8239]

It ALL comes down to calories in, calories out. How much you eat vs. burn with activity and at rest. If more calories in than burned, you'll gain weight. You're 100% correct, a combination of being in a caloric deficit (eating less than your body needs) and moving more will provide a greater deficit than just exercise or caloric restriction alone. People say "hormones are why I can't lose weight". BS. Hormones regulate and respond to body needs to maintain homeostasis. Too many carbs or protein, your body will produce insulin to store them as glycogen, and once glycogen levels are full, it then converts to fat. So, eat less in quantity, and let your hormones work optimally. I'm a 52 year old man, have weight trained since I was 14 years old. Good physique, do boot camp training (HIIT) for cardio 5x/week. I eat 1,300-1,500 calories each day, every day, and burn quite a bit. This is for weight loss for me, for maintenance, I'll eat 1,700-1,800 calories/day.

[@mayrakennedy6200]

this is the frustrating part about fitness!! I'm a bikini competitor and I've done about 12 competitions and I still can't figure out sometimes the cause to getting stuck. I track macros, water, training (when in prep) but some times the body does what it does 🙂

[@Checkersss]

I’m at 1200 calories - I’m 4”11 and aiming for 100-105lbs and it’s working for me. Lost approx 30lbs so it works for smaller people.

[@shiiniigamii]

Diet breaks are extremely helpful when it comes to that. Diet break on maintenance calories for 1-2 weeks every 4-8 weeks and you'll be good.

[@staceypetersen9598]

I’m 44 years old, and I have been fit and studying fitness my entire life. But I will be damned if I don’t get come away with gems every time I listen to this podcast. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but there is not another one like this out there.

[@darrenthayre6666]

I agree! This is pure gold. I think of myself as well read and extremely disciplined around health and fitness (unlike you that’s only been the case for the last 3-4 years for me, but it’s been game changing). But just when you think it’s all good, your regime stops working and you never know which variable to adjust - sleep, water intake, calories, macros, workout etc. The odds are if you just play around with a few variables you are getting it wrong! Well that’s been my experience anyway 😂 So this was brilliant because it’s long enough it goes into the detail in sufficient depth, but also I find this show never glamourises fitness Ie it’s never trying to sell you a 6 pack or how to have massive lats. It’s all round holistic health and there’s enough of the shows now that you can guarantee one of them talks to your issue. Great call out Eric!

I actually really like this episode, because you are actually brining in numbers when it comes to calorie deficient. Even though they're hypothetical, they serves as good examples. I am, and have been struggling to understanding what is my calorie maintenance, how much deficient should I be at, but now I have a much better idea of what numbers to play with.

Damn, I had no idea. First time in the gym in 10 years. Been dieting for 10 years after being 400lbs and getting down to 220lbs with keto only and no gym. I ended up gaining all the weight back. 10 years later, I’ve done keto only and off every other month for this entire time and never lost weight, only maintained around 380lbs, never higher. I can easily get in the zone and eat under 1k calories over a week or two and be extremely consistent with that. I’m burning over 1k calories walking on treadmill and some weight training every day for 2 weeks (focused on 10k steps per day). I have been under eating every single day around 1k calories.

I've been going through the 30 days of coaching series too. It's been great to go over the basics, and learn some ways to tweak my nutrition. It's all about the baby steps and micro goals. Thanks for the valuable info guys. :-)

Why I don’t eat anything I don’t make ! Easy To track and taste better

I love and appreciate you guys so much. I watched an older episode in which you gave your reasoning behind why you don't market Mind Pump using your physiques as a tool and it touched my heart to see that emphatic side of you. I was already a new-ish fan, but now I am certainly a die hard. Thank you for caring about our 'health' (and holistically at that) as much as you do about our fitness. This is what makes you guys stand out apart from your obvious well informed experience and knowledge. All the best to aging fit and beautifully!

I’ve definitely been going through the mental gymnastics over the last week or two lol but I know I’ve been working my @$$ off in the gym and been in a calorie deficit. Legit been burning 3500-3900 total calories everyday this week. However, I’m used to the scale staying the same and then next thing I know it dips majorly just got to ignore the scale and keep doing what I’m doing.

As someone who HATES cardio...I am wondering if a Cardio program by you guys might change my mind :))) I guess you talked more about it in the previous podcast, will definitely check that as I am curious about more details on the program :)

I just want to be the strongest and funniest Dad!!!!

[@IceColdProfessional]

Cold showers and just being "slightly" cold most of the time boosts metabolism.

[@hypeNT500]

Hey guys! Love the show. Have a nice day!

[@TheSbrown1681]

Wow this topic really resonated with me after having major spine surgery in 2010 I gained the most of my weight where I ended up at 540 I was unable to move and be mobile so I would just eat . So when I decided to join the gym I immediately went to the treadmill and stayed there I would wear various types of sauna suits to help me sweat and thinking that it’s the way to go but it did work in the beginning but I know now the more weight you have on the first 50-75 just drops. I now have switched to more strength training and very little cardio. But I was wondering i am a mailman where I do walk a lot and very active is that equivalent to cardio in others ways?

[@matthewaguilar3542]

Walking is some of the best calorie burning exercise because it is low impact and does not fatigue you, allowing you to burn more calories in the long run. That being said cardio is more for heart health than fat loss. It can be a great tool but to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. That is mostly indicated by your diet. I’m sure your constant walking is burning a ton of calories throughout the weeks. Just focus on the diet and get in the gym 3-4 days a week and everything else will fall into place. I’m sure throwing in a session or 2 of cardio could help with other symptoms that being over weight can bring. Keep it bud, you’re doing great.

[@dabeezkneez8716]

Yes, everything Matthew said. Best wishes to you, you've got this!

Mind Pump yeah dude!!!
