Hi, I’m 12 , 5 feet and 5 inches, and weigh 146-147 pounds currently. My goal weight is 120 pounds I multiplied that by 12 and got around 1400 calories do you think that will work if I try it out for 90 days?
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
So happy to find an equation that doesn't have me eating 1200 calories. I love the idea of a range as well instead of a hard number. Just mentally that sounds like a great idea that I will have to implement.
Jordan Syatt is there a problem if I go beyond my necessary grams of protein? I am on Keto for more than a year, lost quite some weight, am healthy and happy, but did hit a plateau because - as I know now - had a too high kcal intake. I feel bad on more than 20% carbs, and the fat is not always my friend if I need to watch kcal, so the proteins go up to 40, even 50%. Will this work for a weight loss on a calorie deficit?
Ever since 2014 I always had the calorie limit in mind and I lost 30 pounds in 3 months. My parents keep making fun of me for checking the nutrition section on everything I eat and counting calories but they are obese and I am the skinniest one in my family. LOL
@@samy5587 I think she is saying she counts calories during the week ( so she knows she's in a deficit) and doesn't track on the weekends/Saturday nights
You are absolutely right. My doctor told me about ten years ago, “a calorie is a calorie... decrease your calories and you’ll lose weight”. Thank you for bringing common sense back.
Damn, I think the last calorie video I watched a few months ago had me filling a page in a notebook with complicated equations. This is so much simpler. Thank you
@@jordansyatt Hey Jordan, can being in a calorie deficit impede growth? I assume not because you would be using energy from lost weight to continue growth, but just wanted your opinion, cheers.
I started doing this for the last two week and I realized I was at my calorie goal only on two days out of 10 days I tracked. It was so eye opening to see how I thought I was hitting my calorie goal but in reality I was going over almost every day
That explanation on calories resonated so much with me. I've lost 90+ pounds 4 times. My efforts at the gym come easy, but dieting does not. When I lock in, I can drop weight but keeping it off is the challenge. Why? Because I fall for the good foods and bad foods mindset, so when I give in to a cookie, I say F it and go on a 7,000 calorie binge. I've started a new journey and here's what I changed. No foods are bad they just all come with a different cost. Now here's the actionable trick that has helped me in this new journey; I looked up my Basal Metabolic Rate. 2,600. So I diet on about 1,400 calories for 2 days. If I feel great (meaning no cravings or not feeling lethargic) I'll go a 3rd day at 1,400. I then follow that with a 2,400 caloric intake for 1 day and after drop back down to 1,400 and repeat. This has been a game changer. Hopes this helps that one person who can kind of resonate with my story. Started: 314lbs Currently:297lbs Goal: 210lbs First week dropped 8lbs. Second week dropped 9lbs. I'm running OMAD.

It has taken me so long to adjust my mindset away from the "good" food/"bad" food mindset. I am still working on it, but I keep working on it because your relationship with food is so important.
I used this formula and have lost 15lbs, roughly, in three-ish months. Goal is 155 for 5’9”. I can use 1860 as maintenance when I get there. It’s perfect. I don’t feel super hungry and have plenty of wiggle room to eat chocolate and veggie burgers! I am super active and have a job that keeps me on my feet at least 10 hours a day.
You’re the only one I have in the bell because you’re def the best! So true, real and just positive!! Makes the process easier and I love to support you. Thanks!! 🙏🏼
100% agree. I can see why people think its complicated because if I ate 2,000 calories from only fat my body would absorb 97-100% of those calories but if I ate 2,000 calories of protein only my body would only absorb 70-80% that might be 600 calories deficit just from the thermic affect of food. I still believe counting calories can be extremely beneficial. It made me start to pay attention to serving sizes and how many calories I was having with small snacks here and there. Helped me break through a weight I was stuck at for almost two months.
Just learned that I’ve been practically starving myself because of My Fitness Pal. I can eat an additional 400-500 calories a day to get to my goal weight now. Thanks so much for this video!! A video on macros would be really helpful too! Thanks for everything you do!
Just started listening to your podcast, loving the content! I was actually too scared to watch this video.. I thought I'd have to be too aggressive with my calories. I'm 4 weeks into a "challenge" with another IG fitness person and the calories are horrendous and it has brought up all my binge eating issues due to the restriction. This video and your podcasts have saved me. I've still got more work to do from a mental health point of view, but I've reached out for help with that, and I know this will help.. no more restriction. Thank you Jordan.
Thank you so much for not making us feel stupid for not understanding calories. You're someone who I feel like I can learn a lot from and I honestly appreciate it, so thank you !
Everyone else makes this whole concept so damn complicated! Thank you for being honest and straightforward about it....and also for always working in the awesome HP references! I’m a HP nerd as well!
I simply love your videos! I can not believe I just discovered you few days ago. You’re saying exactly what I have waited to find all my life: a lifestyle without too rigid rules, without good or bad foods. You’re just explaining with logic and arguments, how we can mantain or loose weight without making this our super stressful goal of our lives. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
This is a great video for calorie counting! As a personal trainer/fitness coach, I can honestly say that I feel confident with giving this advice to my clients. I am pumped about the macro video coming out soon too, with then mixing both of these together. It's like mixing potions with Professor Snape at Hogwarts, great times!
Thank the Lord! Finally a simplistic video that actually makes me want to do this and is excited about having success now! I have watched a couple of your videos and love them all! I started with the over 40 one. Would love a macro one too! And some strength training ones. (You May already have some and I haven’t gotten there yet!)
I've watched this a couple of times and am so grateful to finally understand this! I've felt so lost for so long but I totally get it now! Thank you!!!
The people who disliked the video because 1.The metaphors weren't very correct 2.Too much terminologies explanation. The targeted audience should not still need to be explained what calorie is about.... So this video should really just focus on the dry stuff immediately.
It might be rubbish to you because you are already familiar with the terminologies. However, it’s really good for someone who has just began his/her weight loss journey and is confused about these jargons
I too am curious where 12 comes from! But love the overall simplicity of this. Looking forward to the breakdown of macros based on this simply equation. Thanks for making it simple, educational, and love your sense of humor as well too. You break down things that seem so complex to the very basics which is far less intimidating and makes it much easier to execute.
Yes. Very helpful. I am a 71 year old obese woman and this is starting to make more sense than anything else I've tried. Going to look for the macros video next.
Thank you for the insight and will definitely try the calendar accountability thing! Would love to try a month in the inner circle. Keep posting this awesome videos!
I've decided to go ahead and try this. I have a lot of weight to lose . I am struggling very badly because at one point I lost 100 lbs. but basically gained it all back due to stress and lack of sustainability . Today I stand at 240 lbs. I will be back in 90 days to tell you how my progress went. this video has given me new hope! I am so glad I found your channel. I am binge watching every video.
I love this video! So simple and so true. I recently gained about 30lbs. Due to being unhappy with situation in life and I took it out on food. Back in 2000 I ballooned up to 145lbs (I’m 5’4) and I did calorie count diet. I did it because one of my friends went to a doctor and she was severely overweight. The doctor put her on a 1200 calorie diet. I decide to do that too. This was in my late 20’s. I lost about 25lbs within 2-3 months. I kept that off till 2017. Remind you I do not exercise, I just am not an active person period. I play tennis once a week otherwise I am not active. 2017 I was having some unhappy life situation so I started eating a lot of food because I was depressed. No idea how many calories I was taking in. Well I got up to 159lbs (4/7/2020). I said I have to do something. This is getting out of control. I went on calorie restricted diet again. I limit to 1200 calories but I’m usually under that. Well I’m down to 152lbs. And no I don’t feel like I’m starving myself. I eat one big meal which is usually lunch and I eat what I want. Like for example yesterday I ate a whole Udi’s Gluten Free pizza and it was 770 calories and I ate one spoonful of peanut butter and I was done and didn’t feel like I was starving myself. And I really love pizza and Udi’s is delicious. And I’m not into healthy food and salads especially. So I eat what I want and maintain my calories. So simple. I am for some reason not losing weight as fast as when I did this back in 2000 but I’m not going to give up. I’m only 6 days into it. I have too many amazing beautiful clothes that I wore in 2016-2017 that I really don’t want to give up. I’m grateful for your videos because it encourages me to keep going.
I feel like I’ve learned so much over the last few months following you on all social media. Thank you! It’s awesome easy to understand information and very fun. Can’t wait to see the macro video.
Thank you!! I'm going to watch more of your videos today. I'm so frustrated with trying to lose weight and be healthy. The process is /was confusing by all the crap out there. I'm a 61 year old nurse/ grandma who works like a lunatic and i know nothing of exercise or what a micro or macro is; however I can count calories and this video gives me so much hope and relief!! Thank you
good estimate at first, but definitely needs to be adjusted according to different activity levels/body compositions. i say use this as a starting goal, then compare your median weight across several weeks to see if you're losing weight at an appropriate rate. you probably have to omit the weight change from the first couple days as most of it would be water and glycogen.
I realised recently I kept falling off the bandwagon because my calorie intake was so low I was starving. 1200 per day. I had no energy. Whats the point of working out if you are so miserable you can't perform.
I've been slacking big time with my calorie deficit!! I need to get back to basics. You already called me out before. I have food prepped I just need a game plan when the munchies hit!! 😁🙌🏼 Love you J ♥️
I barely leave comments on RUclips, like, at all, and this might sound cliché but... I've struggled with my weight my whole life, I've been able to lose weight in the past but I didn't know what was the science behind it. I was very miserable because I used to see carbs as demonized food... 🤣 Until I find this gem on RUclips and I have to tell you that it was a life changer. I've lost 24 lb and counting in the last 6 months. It works. And I'm not exercising. I just stick to my budget and play around it. I eat, I enjoy what I eat, I feel less anxious about food. Is awesome! I was on 1,200 calories and was hesitant because following the math my budget was 1,800 and even tho' I eat more, I'm still losing weight. If you are thinking about, GO FOR IT!!!! P.s. Also, this is not a fake, he didn't asked me to, I've never talked to him, I don't even have social media to follow him, I just watched his videos. He's awesome!
Your videos are by far the best I've ever seen. You've cleared up so much of the conflicting info that exists and I feel like I can do this! Yes, please to all of the macro info that us muggles need!
Wow ! 1st time I really understand what I need to do with goal body weigh and daily calories intake !! I'm so exited to know that you'll do a video about macros. It's a big YES for me !
Man you are so smart and real, you’ve helped me out a lot with the all the bullshit I’ve been fed my entire life about weight loss. Being one of those people who used to say “I’ve tried everything and I just haven’t been able to lose weight!” Went to the gym with a personal trainer, DIDNT lose a pound. Went keto, paleo, Atkins, tried veganism (still eat mostly plant based but not fully due to ethical reasons, for you vegans out there who will say vegan isn’t a diet). I did count calories but didn’t really take into account the little snacks. Hands down, I was overeating, whether it be I’m good all week and go out drinking on the weekend. Once you get to the science behind it all it’s really not as hard as you think to understand it’s actually simple. I think anyone starting a weight loss journey should watch this. It’s crazy how if you google how to lose weight all this bullshit comes up about all these different diets, intermittent fasting etc. It doesn’t really matter what you do as long as you can sustain your calorie deficit. Thank you so much for providing this information for free it’s honestly amazing.
Over complicating these details is exactly what I do and you just made things so easy to understand! You really emphasize what is needed so I would definitely like the video you talking about with the macro/micro, the proteins, etc. And I did hit that bell :)
OMG Jordan, this video was awesome! thank you for sharing your unicorn powers. I would love a video on macros and the suggested breakdown. Things that would be helpful for me would be: when do I adjust my macros?, different macros around training?
Thank you so much for keeping it simple. Seriously. Out of curiosity, I took my current weight and plugged it into the equation to find out how many calories i eat a day. I only have to eat 120 calories less a day to lose 10 lbs!? I have over 50 to lose and this just helped me not be overwhelmed with complicated equations and stress about going 5 calories over!! I dont care about losing it all quickly, I just want something simple and sustainable. Thank you so much for your helpful insight.
Here two years later! I saw a weight loss Dr and they had me at a 1200 cal/day diet, starting weight of 330. I lost 70 lbs and gained 40 back when covid hit. I think I’m going to give this a go to get started again!!
Thank you!!! That first line IS all I've needed. N of course, we need a macro nutrient video. Love how you've brought in each video at the right time and in the right order. Damn, you're a good wizard.
Back here 5 years later. Whenever I fall off the bandwagon cause......life, I come back to see these videos n get inspired. 4 pounds down in 3 weeks already.
Thanks Jordan, you really simplify it all it’s so helpful. Can you put the audio from your videos on Spotify as podcasts please? Or do you already have a podcast? ☺️
So relieved to learn about the X/O on the calendar because I was overcomplicating it! Looking forward to keeping track of my calories as tracking tool! Thanks! Look forward to macro video
Its SO easy! He's right when he says; "don't over think it!: This is easier than any other program I've looked at! Thank you Jordan! Love the passion and commitment! And I watched the video stuffing my face with watermelon!!!!
This is the first video I have watched that makes sense. I’m so happy that I found you. Keep these videos coming. Anything that can help me create a new life style, I’m in
Love the video! Would love to know next time when and how much you should put your calories up by when you hit your goal without gaining for the next video?
Love this!! Love the whole thing, but particularly the first few minutes, comparing the calories to miles, and explaining that a mile on a different surface is still a mile, awesome analogy! Also love aiming for a calorie range so going 50 cals over isn’t a stuff up! Best video I’ve watched in a long time :)
First of all you are amazing and I am honestly so inspired every time I watch your videos! My question which may have already been answered sorry if it was but I wanted to know if I'm currently focusing on just fat loss do i have to worry about macros or should i just worry about calories?
I am one of those 47 year old yo-yo dieters. I weighed 330 pounds in 2008, and did weight watchers to lose down to 160. I regained back to 230 and did a pre-packaged diet where I ate less than 1,000 a day. When I got to 150 in 2016, I ended the packages and I started gaining, so I jumped on the keto bandwagon. Last Monday I tipped the scale at 217. I have been afraid, discouraged, disappointed in myself. I know my age, and the past 10 years has made it harder to lose the weight. I have appreciated your hard facts. I am trying to believe that this huge amound of calories will work. I am committed to finding a way to eat where ai don't feel like a psycho. I don't want to fear food, and I do want to be healthy and fit. Thanks Jordan for all the great content.
You should be totally fucking proud of yourself. You didn't lose 170 and gain back 200... you lost 170 and while having some ups and downs your still 113 pounds lighter then you were before. You may have lost a few battles along the way but you're winning the war!!
I believe in keto. At the larger larger weights that you mentioned l suspect that you may have had diabetes. Has a doctor considered this possibility? Carbs lead to insulin and insulin tells nearly all cells to absorb energy including fat cells. Diabetes happens when the insulin hormone is never switched off. When you have diabetes your insulin is always high. Calories will tend to turn to fat. The best way to reduce insulin is intermittent fasting. Since keto tends to be satisfying it makes IF easy. In addition to reducing insulin, there are no calories eaten when fasting! Why did keto fail for you, were you eating even when not hungry? We often eat out of habit, or boredom, or stress, or other reasons. Even on keto you can eat too much. Apple cider vinegar can suppress appetite on a keto diet. Anyway I wish you all the very best. I can see that you have will power. Unfortunately most overweight people find it extremely hard to keep the weight off. I believe this is because their metabolisms reduce the calories burnt. Then when weight loss plateaus they give up. Intermittent fasting is not thought to reduce metabolism. Good luck.
Best fitness video I've ever watched. This came from the person who watches tons of fitness videos. Just liked the video and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work man.
What if your GBW x 12 is higher than your current calories? Been tracking on mfp and hitting 1500 - 1700/day. GBWx12 would be over 2,000? Yes, macro video!
I am also having the same confusion...i am using a calorie counter app and it says i can eat only 1300 / day..but ehen i calculated GBW×12 it become above 2000...what will i do now ???
I've watched this video about 5 times over a period and I was initially scared to eat all the cals im suppose to according to your calculation but today I've started and going to trust the process! Thank you for the great explanations
Yes on the macro video!!! I know you probably get heaps of requests for info on keto but while we are on the subject of carbs?? Maybe a lil explanation on why it works for so many people??? Is it because of the (usually) drastic switch from calorie over load to switching to a diet high in veggies and protein therefore lower calorie?? Alsoooooo is this simplified magic calorie equation our grand total for the day?? Eg food - exercise??
Thanks for the great info...!! Loving your videos....please make the macro video and could you please talk about how or if macros affect different body types... Can't wait for the next one...!!!
OMG YES for the macros video! can you talk about or add in the recommended amount of macros pre workout and post workout? I always struggle with this. Also how to switch up your macros when you're at a plateau. LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!
Yes I want the macro video! The calculation for fat loss is very simple but extremely helpful. I know you said that could’ve been the whole video but the explanation of a calorie as a measurement and the consistency calendar for me was JUST as important! Great job! I’m looking for the simplified macro version as well. Ratio to lean body mass for protein? Carbohydrate ratio for energy? Low carb? Higher fat? Macro help!!!
Great video. Thank you! And yes please. Add the macronutrients video! And would you please talk about losing fat for someone who’s very short and the goal weight metod would mean very low calories? Thank you!
Such a brilliant explanation comparing the calories to miles. Makes so much sense. A macro video would be fab as this is the bit im still struggling to understand. Im losing weight sustainably nowadays but would love to learn more so I can fully understand my nutrition. Its a long and slow process but im getting there and happier than ever!
Thank you for another awesome video and yes I’d like to see the macronutrient video. I’m always baffled by how different macro calculators are. Some say to eat super high protein like 200 grams and other say super high carbs. And I could never understand why
YES YES YES WE WANT THE MACROS VIDEO! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I paid for the premium version of MyFitnessPal to track my macros, but I’m sure you’ve got some great tips I can utilize! Thank you J!!
You could track your macros on MyFitnessPal without buying that I have used it for years you go to nutrition and click on the right where it says macros and there is a list showing you what you have consumed for the day
Thanks for the great video! Is GBW x 12 applicable even if you can’t workout currently due to recovering from a surgery (not counting daily modest paced 45-60min walks)? Should you strive for fat loss when recovering/in between surgeries, or can a calorific deficit hinder healing? I keep finding contradicting info on this. Hoping you’re able to reply. :)
Wow , thank you so much ! The less you overthink it , hearing this helps ! That’s my biggest struggle I give up so quick . I think things Over so much . I will stick to my number.

I couldn't agree with you more! As someone who does martial arts, I found it incredibly taxing to stick to 1,200 calories during training days.
calorie cycling keeps you from shutting off your metabolism. It works.

Question about this. If u have over 100 lbs to lose, how many grams of protein a day? From your other video I would be looking at like 260g per day
It has taken me so long to adjust my mindset away from the "good" food/"bad" food mindset. I am still working on it, but I keep working on it because your relationship with food is so important.
this is the nerdiest body training video ive ever seen. absolutely love it
Loved this!! You have fastly became one of my most favorite fitness influencers EVER!
Also obviously a macros video is wanted!
Thank you so much, Sara!

Thank you so much, Eve! I really really appreciate you :)
100% agree. I can see why people think its complicated because if I ate 2,000 calories from only fat my body would absorb 97-100% of those calories but if I ate 2,000 calories of protein only my body would only absorb 70-80% that might be 600 calories deficit just from the thermic affect of food. I still believe counting calories can be extremely beneficial. It made me start to pay attention to serving sizes and how many calories I was having with small snacks here and there. Helped me break through a weight I was stuck at for almost two months.
Just learned that I’ve been practically starving myself because of My Fitness Pal. I can eat an additional 400-500 calories a day to get to my goal weight now. Thanks so much for this video!! A video on macros would be really helpful too! Thanks for everything you do!
Fuckkk I can't stand the calorie recommendations MFP uses! Their database is great for tracking calories but their calorie prescriptions are *awful!*
I have been use of myfitnesspal pal for 2 weeks and it has me at 1300! I too would love to be tagged in a video about proteins, carbs fat etc.
Just started listening to your podcast, loving the content! I was actually too scared to watch this video.. I thought I'd have to be too aggressive with my calories. I'm 4 weeks into a "challenge" with another IG fitness person and the calories are horrendous and it has brought up all my binge eating issues due to the restriction. This video and your podcasts have saved me. I've still got more work to do from a mental health point of view, but I've reached out for help with that, and I know this will help.. no more restriction. Thank you Jordan.
Thank you so much for not making us feel stupid for not understanding calories. You're someone who I feel like I can learn a lot from and I honestly appreciate it, so thank you !
Thank you Bryana, glad it helped!
I go on RUclips every single day just to see if you uploaded something. This video helped to ease my mind so much! Thank you!
Ana Maria Celmic you have no idea how happy that makes me :) thank you!!!!
Everyone else makes this whole concept so damn complicated! Thank you for being honest and straightforward about it....and also for always working in the awesome HP references! I’m a HP nerd as well!
I simply love your videos! I can not believe I just discovered you few days ago. You’re saying exactly what I have waited to find all my life: a lifestyle without too rigid rules, without good or bad foods. You’re just explaining with logic and arguments, how we can mantain or loose weight without making this our super stressful goal of our lives. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
This is a great video for calorie counting! As a personal trainer/fitness coach, I can honestly say that I feel confident with giving this advice to my clients. I am pumped about the macro video coming out soon too, with then mixing both of these together. It's like mixing potions with Professor Snape at Hogwarts, great times!
Thanks for putting it so simple and down to our muggle level!
Wouldn’t mind the macros video either! ✨🙌🏼
Yoryana Urbina coming up!
Duuuuude. I multiplied kilos times 12 and for a minute there I had a small heart attack. 😂
😂
Me too lol
Hahaha me too. When I looked at the less than 700 calories daily intake, I gasped and decided he must have been a liar.
Lol me toooo
Can someone explain where 12 comes from? I’m just curious.
I refer you to most people I know who want to lose fat but don’t know how to in a sustainable way.. you’re the bomb 🔥🔥🔥
Thank the Lord! Finally a simplistic video that actually makes me want to do this and is excited about having success now! I have watched a couple of your videos and love them all! I started with the over 40 one. Would love a macro one too! And some strength training ones. (You May already have some and I haven’t gotten there yet!)
Makes me so happy! Thank you :) Definitely go through my previous videos, lots of strength ones!
Here's a beginner full body workout, for example: ruclips.net/video/ccsPUcdgJzM/видео.html
2 years later what’s changed?
This is probably one of the best videos I have seen. I am going to try and join his inner circle when I can afford it.
I’m in, I’ve tried everything else, 90 days here we go. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Can u tell me does this acc work
I've watched this a couple of times and am so grateful to finally understand this! I've felt so lost for so long but I totally get it now! Thank you!!!
Such an underrated channel...
As always, thank you!! You are my fitness and nutrition “prophet”! Yes, would love to see a macro video!
Omg. So I did the muggle math and it came up with the calories I took hours to figure out on the other methods. 🙈
to the 4 people who disliked this video.. you don’t deserve his help.. so leave
The people who disliked the video because 1.The metaphors weren't very correct 2.Too much terminologies explanation. The targeted audience should not still need to be explained what calorie is about.... So this video should really just focus on the dry stuff immediately.
Cost him 8:54 of time talking about rubbish before he gets to the contents that are relevant to the topic. Thats why people disliked this video.
It might be rubbish to you because you are already familiar with the terminologies. However, it’s really good for someone who has just began his/her weight loss journey and is confused about these jargons
Neha Aggarwal completely agree, SUPER HELPFUL for me!
I too am curious where 12 comes from! But love the overall simplicity of this. Looking forward to the breakdown of macros based on this simply equation. Thanks for making it simple, educational, and love your sense of humor as well too. You break down things that seem so complex to the very basics which is far less intimidating and makes it much easier to execute.
Yes. Very helpful. I am a 71 year old obese woman and this is starting to make more sense than anything else I've tried. Going to look for the macros video next.
Thank you for the insight and will definitely try the calendar accountability thing! Would love to try a month in the inner circle. Keep posting this awesome videos!
I've decided to go ahead and try this. I have a lot of weight to lose . I am struggling very badly because at one point I lost 100 lbs. but basically gained it all back due to stress and lack of sustainability .
Today I stand at 240 lbs. I will be back in 90 days to tell you how my progress went.
this video has given me new hope!
I am so glad I found your channel. I am binge watching every video.
Lexxi Moon gl! I’m happy you found him he knows his stuff
@@nicks4066 thank you! I will be starting the 90 days on the 28th. Once I get a break from school. Im excited. I love this channel.
Awesome vid, thank you. Can you tell me why you multiply by 12? I’m just curious. Also very keen for a macros vid. Thanks again!
I love this video! So simple and so true. I recently gained about 30lbs. Due to being unhappy with situation in life and I took it out on food. Back in 2000 I ballooned up to 145lbs (I’m 5’4) and I did calorie count diet. I did it because one of my friends went to a doctor and she was severely overweight. The doctor put her on a 1200 calorie diet. I decide to do that too. This was in my late 20’s. I lost about 25lbs within 2-3 months. I kept that off till 2017. Remind you I do not exercise, I just am not an active person period. I play tennis once a week otherwise I am not active.
2017 I was having some unhappy life situation so I started eating a lot of food because I was depressed. No idea how many calories I was taking in. Well I got up to 159lbs (4/7/2020). I said I have to do something. This is getting out of control. I went on calorie restricted diet again. I limit to 1200 calories but I’m usually under that. Well I’m down to 152lbs. And no I don’t feel like I’m starving myself. I eat one big meal which is usually lunch and I eat what I want. Like for example yesterday I ate a whole Udi’s Gluten Free pizza and it was 770 calories and I ate one spoonful of peanut butter and I was done and didn’t feel like I was starving myself. And I really love pizza and Udi’s is delicious. And I’m not into healthy food and salads especially. So I eat what I want and maintain my calories. So simple.
I am for some reason not losing weight as fast as when I did this back in 2000 but I’m not going to give up. I’m only 6 days into it. I have too many amazing beautiful clothes that I wore in 2016-2017 that I really don’t want to give up. I’m grateful for your videos because it encourages me to keep going.
I feel like I’ve learned so much over the last few months following you on all social media. Thank you! It’s awesome easy to understand information and very fun. Can’t wait to see the macro video.
Thank you!! I'm going to watch more of your videos today. I'm so frustrated with trying to lose weight and be healthy. The process is /was confusing by all the crap out there. I'm a 61 year old nurse/ grandma who works like a lunatic and i know nothing of exercise or what a micro or macro is; however I can count calories and this video gives me so much hope and relief!! Thank you
YASSSS the more informational videos the better!!!!!please and thank you, we love you!!!!
good estimate at first, but definitely needs to be adjusted according to different activity levels/body compositions. i say use this as a starting goal, then compare your median weight across several weeks to see if you're losing weight at an appropriate rate. you probably have to omit the weight change from the first couple days as most of it would be water and glycogen.
I realised recently I kept falling off the bandwagon because my calorie intake was so low I was starving. 1200 per day. I had no energy. Whats the point of working out if you are so miserable you can't perform.
I seen the short version of this video but I’m glad you had this one which explains everything with more detail 🙌🏼
I've been slacking big time with my calorie deficit!! I need to get back to basics. You already called me out before. I have food prepped I just need a game plan when the munchies hit!! 😁🙌🏼
Love you J ♥️
Natalia Frank same here. I “keep track” in my head and obviously I’m not doing a great job lol
I barely leave comments on RUclips, like, at all, and this might sound cliché but... I've struggled with my weight my whole life, I've been able to lose weight in the past but I didn't know what was the science behind it. I was very miserable because I used to see carbs as demonized food... 🤣 Until I find this gem on RUclips and I have to tell you that it was a life changer. I've lost 24 lb and counting in the last 6 months. It works. And I'm not exercising. I just stick to my budget and play around it. I eat, I enjoy what I eat, I feel less anxious about food. Is awesome! I was on 1,200 calories and was hesitant because following the math my budget was 1,800 and even tho' I eat more, I'm still losing weight. If you are thinking about, GO FOR IT!!!!
P.s. Also, this is not a fake, he didn't asked me to, I've never talked to him, I don't even have social media to follow him, I just watched his videos. He's awesome!
Would love to see the Macros breakdown too!
First commenting ever, and first subscribed channel! Whoohoo!!
Thank you Shay!! Welcome welcome. Linked the video for you!
ruclips.net/video/7ZmS52l099E/видео.html
Your videos are by far the best I've ever seen. You've cleared up so much of the conflicting info that exists and I feel like I can do this! Yes, please to all of the macro info that us muggles need!
Can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me :)
Wow ! 1st time I really understand what I need to do with goal body weigh and daily calories intake !! I'm so exited to know that you'll do a video about macros. It's a big YES for me !
Caroline Lavoie-Landry yesss makes me so happy!!!
Your content is gold dust. Thank you so much for being so genuine and honest
Thanks for making such great informative videos. Definitely looking forward to the macro video.
Christopher Lemasters means so much to me thank you!
Man you are so smart and real, you’ve helped me out a lot with the all the bullshit I’ve been fed my entire life about weight loss. Being one of those people who used to say “I’ve tried everything and I just haven’t been able to lose weight!” Went to the gym with a personal trainer, DIDNT lose a pound. Went keto, paleo, Atkins, tried veganism (still eat mostly plant based but not fully due to ethical reasons, for you vegans out there who will say vegan isn’t a diet). I did count calories but didn’t really take into account the little snacks. Hands down, I was overeating, whether it be I’m good all week and go out drinking on the weekend. Once you get to the science behind it all it’s really not as hard as you think to understand it’s actually simple. I think anyone starting a weight loss journey should watch this. It’s crazy how if you google how to lose weight all this bullshit comes up about all these different diets, intermittent fasting etc. It doesn’t really matter what you do as long as you can sustain your calorie deficit. Thank you so much for providing this information for free it’s honestly amazing.
Interesting! I like it!
I'm also surprised you went with "Inner Circle" and not "Dumbledores Army" 😂
Over complicating these details is exactly what I do and you just made things so easy to understand! You really emphasize what is needed so I would definitely like the video you talking about with the macro/micro, the proteins, etc.
And I did hit that bell :)
Notification squad now! :)
Haha yesss! Notification squad!
OMG Jordan, this video was awesome! thank you for sharing your unicorn powers. I would love a video on macros and the suggested breakdown. Things that would be helpful for me would be: when do I adjust my macros?, different macros around training?
Totally want a macro video!! Also love your approach and positive attitude!
Thank you Kerrie :)
Thank you so much for keeping it simple. Seriously.
Out of curiosity, I took my current weight and plugged it into the equation to find out how many calories i eat a day.
I only have to eat 120 calories less a day to lose 10 lbs!?
I have over 50 to lose and this just helped me not be overwhelmed with complicated equations and stress about going 5 calories over!!
I dont care about losing it all quickly, I just want something simple and sustainable.
Thank you so much for your helpful insight.
So, have you tried it? Where you at now? :)
Here two years later! I saw a weight loss Dr and they had me at a 1200 cal/day diet, starting weight of 330. I lost 70 lbs and gained 40 back when covid hit. I think I’m going to give this a go to get started again!!
Can u please please please tell me did it work I need to know u can save a life rn
Thank you!!! That first line IS all I've needed. N of course, we need a macro nutrient video. Love how you've brought in each video at the right time and in the right order. Damn, you're a good wizard.
Kaveri S haha thank you so much, Kaveri! Macro video coming up :)
@@jordansyatt I've wanted this so bad that it's 12am now after watching the video here. I literally got up n made my own calendar.
Kaveri S i couldn’t possibly love this comment anymore!!!!
@@jordansyatt Haha. Thought you should know how much what you're doing means to people like me ❤️
Back here 5 years later. Whenever I fall off the bandwagon cause......life, I come back to see these videos n get inspired. 4 pounds down in 3 weeks already.
Wow you makes it’s so easier than other people. Thank you so much for making so much sense. You are the best!!!🥰👍👍
"Don't over complicate this, it's as simple as that" :) Thanks for the advice and tips brother. Watching the Macro Video next.
Thanks Jordan, you really simplify it all it’s so helpful. Can you put the audio from your videos on Spotify as podcasts please? Or do you already have a podcast? ☺️
Waiting for the macro nutritients video! Thanks for this info 💝
Ishwari Patil thank you :)
So relieved to learn about the X/O on the calendar because I was overcomplicating it! Looking forward to keeping track of my calories as tracking tool! Thanks! Look forward to macro video
Its SO easy! He's right when he says; "don't over think it!: This is easier than any other program I've looked at! Thank you Jordan! Love the passion and commitment! And I watched the video stuffing my face with watermelon!!!!
I know I’m late but do I use the same calories intake even if I’m loosing weight or I have to go lower
This is the first video I have watched that makes sense. I’m so happy that I found you. Keep these videos coming. Anything that can help me create a new life style, I’m in
Love the video! Would love to know next time when and how much you should put your calories up by when you hit your goal without gaining for the next video?
Emily Edwards perfect, Emily, thank you!
Love this!! Love the whole thing, but particularly the first few minutes, comparing the calories to miles, and explaining that a mile on a different surface is still a mile, awesome analogy! Also love aiming for a calorie range so going 50 cals over isn’t a stuff up! Best video I’ve watched in a long time :)
First of all you are amazing and I am honestly so inspired every time I watch your videos! My question which may have already been answered sorry if it was but I wanted to know if I'm currently focusing on just fat loss do i have to worry about macros or should i just worry about calories?
Yes! A macronutrient video is needed 🙌 Perhaps you could also talk about the thermic effect of food and particular macros?
Agnieszka Gońda great suggestion, will do!!!
I am one of those 47 year old yo-yo dieters. I weighed 330 pounds in 2008, and did weight watchers to lose down to 160. I regained back to 230 and did a pre-packaged diet where I ate less than 1,000 a day. When I got to 150 in 2016, I ended the packages and I started gaining, so I jumped on the keto bandwagon. Last Monday I tipped the scale at 217.
I have been afraid, discouraged, disappointed in myself. I know my age, and the past 10 years has made it harder to lose the weight. I have appreciated your hard facts. I am trying to believe that this huge amound of calories will work. I am committed to finding a way to eat where ai don't feel like a psycho. I don't want to fear food, and I do want to be healthy and fit. Thanks Jordan for all the great content.
I promise you can do this :) I know you can. What goal weight will you start out with?
You should be totally fucking proud of yourself. You didn't lose 170 and gain back 200... you lost 170 and while having some ups and downs your still 113 pounds lighter then you were before. You may have lost a few battles along the way but you're winning the war!!
I believe in keto. At the larger larger weights that you mentioned l suspect that you may have had diabetes. Has a doctor considered this possibility? Carbs lead to insulin and insulin tells nearly all cells to absorb energy including fat cells. Diabetes happens when the insulin hormone is never switched off. When you have diabetes your insulin is always high. Calories will tend to turn to fat. The best way to reduce insulin is intermittent fasting. Since keto tends to be satisfying it makes IF easy. In addition to reducing insulin, there are no calories eaten when fasting! Why did keto fail for you, were you eating even when not hungry? We often eat out of habit, or boredom, or stress, or other reasons. Even on keto you can eat too much. Apple cider vinegar can suppress appetite on a keto diet. Anyway I wish you all the very best. I can see that you have will power. Unfortunately most overweight people find it extremely hard to keep the weight off. I believe this is because their metabolisms reduce the calories burnt. Then when weight loss plateaus they give up. Intermittent fasting is not thought to reduce metabolism. Good luck.
Can’t stop watching your videos! So much good advice and TRUE information! Can’t wait for the macros video!
Please keep doing what you're doing 🙏🙏🙏🙏. You are helping us so much. Can you do the macros video 😚?
Joanna Jullien absolutely :)
Best fitness video I've ever watched. This came from the person who watches tons of fitness videos. Just liked the video and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work man.
What if your GBW x 12 is higher than your current calories? Been tracking on mfp and hitting 1500 - 1700/day. GBWx12 would be over 2,000? Yes, macro video!
I am also having the same confusion...i am using a calorie counter app and it says i can eat only 1300 / day..but ehen i calculated GBW×12 it become above 2000...what will i do now ???
@@mithraparameswaran maybe go with 17/1800
@@mithraparameswaran 1300 is practically starvation mode eventually u will crash
@@isla8718 👍👍👍☺️
I've watched this video about 5 times over a period and I was initially scared to eat all the cals im suppose to according to your calculation but today I've started and going to trust the process!
Thank you for the great explanations
Soo??? How's it going?
Jordan, Pls do the macros video. Also can you do a follow up of what to do or how to adjust if this is not working.
Amanda Latter that is a PHENOMENAL idea and will absolutely do that
Instagram brought me here... love how you motivate, calorie counting starts today. great video!
Yes on the macro video!!! I know you probably get heaps of requests for info on keto but while we are on the subject of carbs?? Maybe a lil explanation on why it works for so many people??? Is it because of the (usually) drastic switch from calorie over load to switching to a diet high in veggies and protein therefore lower calorie?? Alsoooooo is this simplified magic calorie equation our grand total for the day?? Eg food - exercise??
Tanya Davidson great questions! Will answer :)
Thanks for the great info...!! Loving your videos....please make the macro video and could you please talk about how or if macros affect different body types...
Can't wait for the next one...!!!
gamk gamd coming up!!!
Thank you for making this! Makes counting calories easier 🤗 also please make the macro video!!!
Thank you Deisy :)
Here is the link :)
ruclips.net/video/7ZmS52l099E/видео.html
OMG YES for the macros video! can you talk about or add in the recommended amount of macros pre workout and post workout? I always struggle with this. Also how to switch up your macros when you're at a plateau.
LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!
Thank God! Someone who makes sense👍 exactly what I needed to see today.
So so glad this helped Kalyani!
How did I not discover this channel sooner?! So helpful and easy to understand!
Came for the great content due to Every Damn Day Fitness’ recommendation... stayed for the Harry Potter references 😂
Thank you Kristin!
Very well done. I’ll be sharing this video with clients and friends who have questions on this topic... you’re doing great work!
Between watching and learning from your videos and posts and listening to Harry Potter Sacred text podcast, I am guaranteed to be amazing this year.
Kayla Phillips hahah I love it :)
Yes I want the macro video! The calculation for fat loss is very simple but extremely helpful. I know you said that could’ve been the whole video but the explanation of a calorie as a measurement and the consistency calendar for me was JUST as important! Great job! I’m looking for the simplified macro version as well. Ratio to lean body mass for protein? Carbohydrate ratio for energy? Low carb? Higher fat? Macro help!!!
Tess Moore done deal, Tess! And thank you!!!
Great video. Thank you! And yes please. Add the macronutrients video!
And would you please talk about losing fat for someone who’s very short and the goal weight metod would mean very low calories?
Thank you!
Jennifer Lloyd absolutely will do!
Agreed. I maintain on 1750-1850 calories, but using the 12x multiplier gives me only 1260! That's WAYYYYY too low! I'd be dying! LOL!
Such a brilliant explanation comparing the calories to miles. Makes so much sense. A macro video would be fab as this is the bit im still struggling to understand. Im losing weight sustainably nowadays but would love to learn more so I can fully understand my nutrition. Its a long and slow process but im getting there and happier than ever!
Thank you for another awesome video and yes I’d like to see the macronutrient video. I’m always baffled by how different macro calculators are. Some say to eat super high protein like 200 grams and other say super high carbs. And I could never understand why
Shyann Church because everyone has a different opinion lol! And people make their calculators to suit their opinion :)
YES YES YES WE WANT THE MACROS VIDEO! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I paid for the premium version of MyFitnessPal to track my macros, but I’m sure you’ve got some great tips I can utilize! Thank you J!!
You could track your macros on MyFitnessPal without buying that I have used it for years you go to nutrition and click on the right where it says macros and there is a list showing you what you have consumed for the day
Thanks for the great video! Is GBW x 12 applicable even if you can’t workout currently due to recovering from a surgery (not counting daily modest paced 45-60min walks)? Should you strive for fat loss when recovering/in between surgeries, or can a calorific deficit hinder healing? I keep finding contradicting info on this. Hoping you’re able to reply. :)
Hi, I've watched a handful of your videos. I like them a lot. I like how you tell the information. Have a good day
I love your videos you explain it sooo well! 🎉 Thank you x
Thank you so much :)
Wow , thank you so much ! The less you overthink it , hearing this helps ! That’s my biggest struggle I give up so quick . I think things Over so much . I will stick to my number.
