I discovered how easy IF was when I was hospitalized with metabolic syndrome 2 years ago and was not allowed to eat or drink anything for six days: I never had any cravings or hunger pangs and I learned the benefits of giving your body correct itself. I have watched dozens of You Tube videos on dieting and nutrition over the past two years, and in my opinion, yours lead the pack. Thanks.
So i saw a medical study that showed you shouldn't take BCAA's during your fast because of the amino acid leucine which triggers your brain to be in a "fed" state as opposed to a "fasted" state. The reason I ask is my fast is from 7pm-11am and in the am I am working out 1/2 hour of cardio and 1 hour of weights and I just feel like Aminos as opposed to water will "take me across that line" and have me hungry as opposed to feeling starving.....thoughts?
DAMN IT REMMY all i wanted was one video to watch and then more suggested videos came up and ive ended up spending another hour watching your incredible content.... Never stop your videos, i love you and them way too much
Love how you always include macros in your videos. Makes a huge difference. Can I ask why you'd choose to get your BCAAs through supps when your diet doesn't seem to be deficient in any way?
your video are always on point. I learn from you a lot. Can you make a video on if you hit a stall and can't lose fat or build more muscle please. Happy late birthday bro.
thank you so much for explaining everything so perfectly and accurately. I have learned so much from watching your channel. your a life saver 😊 your step by step guides are amazing and make it easy for beginners like me to follow. thank you my friend
When do you switch from IF to carb cycling? I guess my question is, do you ever combine the two. Right now I am eating a good paleo diet, but will switch to a carb cycling diet for a month, then I wanted to do a month of IF. Is this ok?
***** ah, I was going to ask you why you never eat fruit. But just a question i thought of. After you do your meal prep for a day. Do you throw that in the microwave later? Cause i do that and it tastes like rubber if i leave it for a day. But maybe i just have a shitty microwave! But nah. I don't like garlic or salsa haha!
***** Yeah, that sounds fair. Also not blasting it on "high" setting like i do would help i guess! Will try some other microwave tekkers next time! Keep that content up bro!
I am also curious about your first meal of the day that breaks your fast. Massive research shows you should not have anything high carb (oatmeal) and if you do you should not have any fats. Its one or the other mixed with a little protein to ease your digestive system into your eating window. Consuming Carbs spikes your insulin level opening up the cells and because you ate fat along with it that too enters the cell. You cant burn both so one gets broken down and deposited as fat. I have seen many fitness and nutritionist consistently argue over this and I don't know what to believe any more.
Question for you, if I do low carbs Sunday-Thursday with high fat, do I then do my higher carbs Friday and Saturday (Good Carbs of course) low fat to burn fat? Thanks.
Happy Birthday brother! Do you fast on lifting days? If so do you find it slows you down or hurts you? The complete cookies are amazing! I love the white chocolate one
hey remington i got a question. if im fasting can i have a zero calorie beverage or a serving of the animo energy? like when im not supposet to be eating? i eat from 9pm to 5am and get tired when i wake up at 9am. are the 10 -20 cals in that stuff going to effect my fast the rest of the day?
Nice vid! You mentioned some carb cycling when you were cutting and intermittent fasting. If you dont mind me asking, what was your schedule? Ex: 3 low carb days, two medium and one high? How many grams were your med. and high days? Thanks for keeping it real! I do all my shopping at Kroger too here in TX!
I want to see that video too! I need to do some research on what carb cycling all entails and what the benefits are? My first thought is that it is like Keifer's Carb Nite, but I'm sure it's different than that. Keep up the great videos and glad you took the leap in regards to quitting your job. :)
Hey! Your videos are rad, I've been subscribed to you for a while now, you're awesome. My question though.....with sleep and intermittent fasting. The normal person is able to sleep throughout the night which makes the fasting period go by somewhat easier, however, I am a Firefighter/Paramedic and we typically get 3-4 wake ups a night (straight from sometimes deep sleep to having to be on the road in less then 1 min 30 seconds) Does this affect my fasting period? I know you mentioned changing the time frames to what fits, typically I try to workout around 5am because its never done at the station because we are just to busy, so I will be working out, then taking in supplements then starting from there (around 6am) Thanks again for all your videos, hope I'm not too confusing.
Got a question for you. Is it healthy or better yet does fasting work when on a zone meal plan? My nutritionist told me I need to consume 20 blocks a day to drop weight. So I am preparing four 5 block meals a day of balanced proteins, fats, and carbs(veggies). Needless to say its a lot of food. If I give myself only 6 hours or so to eat those meals am I packing too much food into my body in a short amount of time to digest properly? Or does the remaining 18 hours in the day somehow balance it out? Any advice is appreciated.
If you notice, he eats breakfast type meal when his fast breaks so that's around 2 pm, so he eats "breakfast" (break fast). i would too breakfast all day every day :)
I see you have some Xtend BCAA Energy on top of your fridge. I have always used Xtend products and love the flavor but the price is a little high. How does the ON Energy BCAA compare? Great Video
Hey Rem! question you state weigh your meals out. say I what for lunch jasmine rice and jennie-o turkey burger. on the package of turkey burger it says 1 serving is 149g and the rice is for 1/4 cup 45g(prepared 3/4 cup) so would I weigh out 149g and 45g on the food scale?
saw your post thought I'd jump in if that's cool. you do not have to workout while you fast though there are benefits of working out while you fast you can fast without working out. You are less likely to lose muscle while you fast without working out but no serious muscle loss occurs while you workout and fast, it all has to do with your glycogen stores. www.muscleforlife.com/the-definitive-guide-to-intermittent-fasting/ have a look at this and it may help you wrap your head around it. I certainly helped me understand fasting and working out much better than anything I found on youtube.
Hey dude, love your channel and your vids.....very informative! Quick question for you; I have been exercising (walking/running) as well as doing the 100 sit ups/100 push challenge everyday now for about 2 weeks. Plus, I have been eating clean and going into caloric deficit everyday.....but I am still gaining weight. What the fawk am I doing wrong? Are my macro's just off, or am losing fat and gaining muscle? For reference; I am a male, 6' and weight 212. Love to know your thoughts, thx man!
ohh i just checked and it's not, it is a parameter you can set so that people can look at what you ate, but i understand that you don't necessarily want that haha
I eat lots of peanut butter oats concoctions also I will have to try this one it looked very very good !! ambro please do not use silverware with non stick pans makes the coating come off you start eating it not good I cringed when I seen that, LOL, thanks bro!
your clacis I spelt that wrong lol the hard skin on your hands what do you do too help that coz I had probs with that and it kept splitting so now i wear gloves yer I know wimp but when it splits it makes you not focus enough on the lifting lol
Wait, you said you have another channel!? Also, I saw a couple negative comments about you quitting your day job. Dude, don't even listen to those comments. I took a leap of faith just like you. I was an IT manager for a government agency and made VERY good money. I hated life though. I quit with some money in the bank and created my own web development agency, got into real estate and real estate investing, and never looked back. Life is too short, build that empire brother.
Hell yeah man, glad to hear it! Be sure to let us know when the gaming channel is up. I enjoy a little console action when I got the chance, mostly FPS (Battlefield, COD, etc)
ay awesome upload :) as a smaller channel i am always interested in what larger channel reckon it is that helped them grow, what do you reckon ? keep killing it! those …. was awesome
just so u know, i dont want to criticize anything u do cause it obviously works for u, but arent u supposed to weigh the food raw? at least as far as i thought food loses weight(probably water) after u prepare it. but still the macros stay the same for example: baking 1 kg of potatoes for ~30 mins in the oven leaves a netto weight of about ~800g. whats ur take on that?
Cool vid love this guy but ouch it hurt when he used that fork to scramble his eggs on a non-stick pan... :'( :'( Mate thats gonna ruin the coating lol
I know this is a really old video, but there is no way that meal three only has 431 calories... 224 grams of cooked chicken breast has almost 375 calories by itself. That must be the macros for raw chicken that you were going by.
hey dude i just try intermitent fasting 12noon to 8pm everyday and i go to gym with empty stomack around 10am in a morning its in good or not? or i adjust my window eating to 9am to 5pm? beacuse i go to work everyday around 1pm TIA!
Tyr San Buenaventura I go to the gym 5-6x a week in the mornings while fasted, I've been doing it for about 2 months and I feel good! I break my fast after my workout at 11am and stop eating at 7pm. I just always have water and coffee (for some energy) before I go to the gym.
doesnt BCAA break ur fast because it gives ur body an energy source to use besides fat. because ur body will use the bcaa a lot easier then it wants to use fats....and btw man i am a new subscriber...like ur channel so far, u have some great videos up...keep it up man!

How do you eat 5 meals with IF ? I do it and eat only 2 large meals and a snack.
+Remington James

I lie your humble and modest personality. Keep it up! And yes, IF works. I am down from 207 to 199 pounds in 8 days!
Awesome video, thank you! But I'm cringing at you using the metal spoon on that pan lol.
Why do you take out the yokes then add coconut fat? Just for flavor? Taking out fat to add fat? Just wondering. Thanks.
Anyone catch that one frame at 13:21

Love this style of videos a lot Rem, but I need a low carb video.. Thanks for the vids and sharing your time. Your awesome.

***** ah, I was going to ask you why you never eat fruit. But just a question i thought of. After you do your meal prep for a day. Do you throw that in the microwave later? Cause i do that and it tastes like rubber if i leave it for a day. But maybe i just have a shitty microwave! But nah. I don't like garlic or salsa haha!

your clacis I spelt that wrong lol the hard skin on your hands what do you do too help that coz I had probs with that and it kept splitting so now i wear gloves yer I know wimp but when it splits it makes you not focus enough on the lifting lol
If I take a shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning would that break my fast?
if you check out few of his other vids he explains as do many people who practice IF that it doesn't break your fast, nor does black coffee no sugar.
I have that snickerdoodle every day!
Wait, you said you have another channel!? Also, I saw a couple negative comments about you quitting your day job. Dude, don't even listen to those comments. I took a leap of faith just like you.
