In this video, I finally open up about the unhealthy habits I struggle with and the addiction that I needed to stop this year because of the effect it was having on my life.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Hey guys, welcome back to another video and in this one, I wanted to open up about some of the things I have struggled with massively on my fitness journey. Because my journey has been far from perfect and to get to the place I am on, I've had many setbacks, I've gone down a lot of wrong paths and I'm still trying to get better every single day.
But I know that being open and honest about these things is so powerful because it helps you guys realise that you're not the only one that finds the whole getting in great shape thing difficult. And if hearing back the unhealthy habits I struggle with and the "addiction" that almost ruined my life prevents you from making the same mistakes, that's amazing.
So I hope you get something from it!
And on top of that, I do of course have some brand new low calorie high protein meals to share with you. So if you're following any sort of diet whether it's to lose fat or gain muscle and you're looking for some calorie friendly, high protein meals that are easy to make, these will be right up your street!

Enjoy the video my friends. Interested to hear if you guys have also picked up any unhealthy habits in the pursuit of your fitness goals. Comment below and let me know 👍
definitely developed a binge eating disorder once i got super into this from me being too aggressive in my caloric deficit. sucks, it still effects me to this day but i've been going strong for the most part since new years. i don't cut as aggressively anymore but those binge thoughts do creep up on me every now and then.
@@CDelgado21 Same here. Once I get to 9% or 10% body fat I develop a binge eating disorder. I can eat 5000 or more calories in one afternoon. It sucks and I have to restrict my calories for the next day or two to get myself back. It definitely messes with your head.
Has your generation stop to think that maybe the reason y'all can't grow hair on your chest and act more feminine than your ladies is the stuff that you're put it in your body's containing high amounts of estrogen and God knows what else do you genics are putting in there?
I eat meat and potatoes never been vax I grow hair on my chest and legs cause I look like a man not a 40 yr old boy. Just somthin to think about.
Caffeine addiction is a tough one. Definitely helps when cutting but easy to get dependent on it. Jonathan, what's your height? You're around my goal physique and I'm trying to get an idea of what I might weigh at a similar level of leaness? Thanks!
Hi Jonathan I love your recipes tried lots of them please keep sharing 👍👍👍
Scrambled eggs on toast is lowkey one of my favorite meals. I usually make my own breakfast sausage to it as well. Mix lean ground meat of choice with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, swerve brown sugar, sage, allspice and chili flakes and form it to small patties
I just heard about Scott , heartbroken 😢.
Johnathan Clarke can be a chef for professional bodybuilders 👌
I like that you don’t pretend to be a perfect human being who can conquer all.
Appreciate the honesty. Definitely understand the caffeine one my weakness is black coffee. Really developed a test for it. Try to stick to 3 cups a day but don’t always manage to
Cheers for the comment Luke! Might be worth investing in some decaf or even half caff coffee? Can keep it at 3 cups a days but caffeine intake will be way down 👌
@@jclarkefitness shame they don't do monster 0 decaff, doesn't it?
Got a caffeine addiction as well when I started getting into fitness and wanted to cut because coffee would stimulate my hunger as well as provide energy so I got away with eating waaaay too little calories, on top of that coffee is a laxative so my weight dropped very fast
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
I find it difficult trying to lose weight because I'm in culinary school so always surrounded by food. And I'm always thinking about food. Also, food is one of my stress relievers so it's so difficult to stay on a meal plan. Especially with all of the tasting that goes on in my culinary program. If you had a schedule which changed all the time and you couldn't eat consistent meals, what would you do? How do you deal with thinking about food all the time?
One unhealthy habit I have picked up is that I won’t eat anything that I don’t know the calories for. Like today I was craving this pasty that they make at a local bakery but I refused to go have one because there is no way to know exactly how many calories are in it. I’ll have a treat but only if i KNOW it can be tracked
Hey Michael. I'm 5 foot 9 👍
In the US we have some ridiculous low cal breads that I find are such a versatile addition to any meal. I always get the Keto Bread by L'Oven which is 35 cal/slice. When toasted they are actually indistinguishable from normal bread imo. An absolute game-changer! There is another brand called Extraordinary Bites Keto Bread that I want to try that are only 30 cals per 31g slice! 🤯I will usually toast the bread and then soak them in egg whites to make a macro-friendly French toast, then I drizzle on some 10 cal maple syrup and cinnamon and have it with a 30 cal almond milk latte. With 4 slices of French Toast the entire meal comes to < 300 cal.
I was def addicted to stimulants when I was younger, worse than caffeine. (and including caffeine). Anyways, after years of healing, yada... I now take theacrine 100mg instead of caffeine. Works for me, gives you a mental focus and energy, no jitters.
I really liked your talk at the end - definitely something I’m thinking about.
My biggest unhealthy habit is being completely inflexible when it comes to my food for the day. I plan out my food for the day and that is what I'm consuming 🙂
You're that guy who replies to the interview question; 'what is your biggest weakness?' with; 'Im a perfectionist.'
@@itstimeforlee I have a better response rehearsed for that situation
😂
@@itstimeforlee this actually is a bigger flaw than it seems. Being too neurotic about how you eat can really effect your relationships and overall quality of life.
Coming back to this video after having made both of these recipes. Can confirm that they are in fact absolute bangers
Sugar addiction lol! I go over board on my cheat day to the extent that I have a hangover the next day through having to much of it. 😩
I love your channel. You’re a great inspiration to me. Keep up the good work. Looking great. Thanks
Jonathan, you made it again! Great recipes
I love smoked paprika, I have 2, one I buy from the supermarket, really cheap. Then a quality one 'silk route' the flavor difference is unreal..
Rest in peace Scott Murray
Thanks for being so real! I need to try the way u made your eggs, my hubby doesn't like the way I cook it for him, but hey protein is protein!
Caffeine has me hooked too. Got into the mindset that I need preworkout before every workout and then drinking 2-3 diet sodas a day has me up to 400+ mg of caffeine a day, definitely need to cut it back
Yes. I have been addicted to caffeine since I was like 14. I’m 18 now, and I’ve recently drastically reduced my caffeine intake and I feel so much better. My sleep has improved so much.
One thing that helped me was reducing and not cold turkey. Making your own iced tea with Stevia has the sweetness and you can do decaf also helped with wanting a non water beverage. Yes it is hard because you get a strong craving but it is worth it. You can do it!
Why don't you give a stim-free pre workout a go? Still get a nice kick from it but 0 caffeine 😁
Hi Jonathan just found your channel looks like very useful info for me. My experience during the lockdown was embarrassing my next door neighbour was expecting at the time noticing that I was gaining weight I agreed I got addicted to junk food and Everytime We weighed in I gained more weight than she did throughout the pregnancy by the time she gave birth I have gained 90 lbs almost double what she did I found that junk food was more addictive than smoking it's definitely taking me a lot longer to lose it that it is to gain it
Love these recipes! Can you do more with prawns or other fish? Thanks for all the content!!
Sure thing!
Skillshare sponsorship? 50k subs? Jesus you’ve come a long way. Fair play man!
Cheers Callum!
I've got a few myself. I train in the gym 5 to 6 days a week and run 3ish miles almost every day and I still can't give up vaping 😅 definitely my worse habbit. Caffeine is a close second drinking a Celcius Heat in the morning, then a cup of coffee, then a diet Pepsi with dinner. Sounds so much worse when I type it out 😬
hi jonathan im a new sub, a guy at the gym recommended your channel as a way to get my diet in check, i have to say, these dishes you make are amazing looking! Cant wait to try them out! Is there any tips you got for a 80kg man looking to drop the calories and stay eating about 160 grams protein per day? I have zero culinary skill's so literally any tip's at all would help out loads!
Yes another Pepsi Max fan! Out of interest, when you did bulk, how many calories were you typically on?
Going to try that prawn recipe 💛
Caffeine has really been a tough addiction for me. The fitness industry really promotes black coffee/sugar free Monsters in my opinion and it doesn't help. I've tried quitting and cutting down on caffeine and the withdrawals are legit worse than quitting cigarettes for me. I am currently drinking max 3 black coffees and 1 monster a day, and am fine with that at the moment. If I do however go over on a day where I'm feeling tired, the next day I'm extra tired. Also, I was smoking a pack of cigarettes a day throughout most of my fitness journey (7 years) and have attempted to quit many times. I couldn't deal with the withdrawals and it really impacted my mental health as I have quite a history with anxiety/OCD/depression. I switched to vaping a month ago and it really satisfies my nicotine cravings, and my gym/boxing/running performance have skyrocketed. I know it's not ideal to vape, but it's a lot better than smoking. I'm just very addicted to stimulants.
Glad to hear you've made some positive changes Rob. Step by step 👏
im just consuming tons of sweetener like erythritol/stevia/walden farms every day to cut kcal from sugar altho some may say honey/maple syrup/coconut sugar is better for u
I've been having them eggs since I seen them on the protein chef, & I can confirm they are delicious.
I cut soda totally out of my life more than 3 years ago. I have substituted sparkling water and the occasional Celsius beverage. To be honest Celsius is NOT that addictive to me because it's got a sub par flavor and it's too darn sweet. It's sweetened with Sucralose and that's always to friggin sweet. I only use those for the occasional pre workout. In my opinion soda is absolutely no good not even the diet stuff.
Same here. I was consuming 4 cans of Diet soda a day and I kept reading how bad it is for my body. Now I can't even drink any. Too sweet. I do drink pre workout but stick to the dose. That can be hard, like Jonathan, needing the energy.
@@Roxxyy26 it's cool that I am not the only one. Also that should have said Celsius is too darn sweet not to darn sweet lol. My thumb doesn't know grammar sometimes 😂. I have only found two flavors of Celsius that I will actually willingly drink. It's friggin expensive too.
cant like this enough! Spent most of my teens and twenties overweight, and would you know i was guzzling- im talking four litres a day guzzling coke cola all throughout those years..cut it out completely at about 23-24 and replaced it with water and sometimes dilute (great for weaning yourself off the sweet drinks) and by the time i was 25 i was half the size.
Im not in shape or anything, but yeah cant agree enough, cut out the soda and you look and FEEL better in no time
@@Roxxyy26 get a soda stream it makes sparkling water then add flavors to it lemon oil
Monster ultra is an addiction for real.. especially when you are into BMX and all the pros are sponsored by monster or redbull
The red one is too good
Yes! The unhealthy habit I picked up is the over use of sugar substitutes !! Splenda.. walden farms.. o cal barista syrups ((
I'm with you on that one. Sometimes I catch myself just using way too much!
Those eggs look so good! Will definitely try them!
Would love to hear your thoughts on reverse dieting, Jonathan.
I struggle with the last one as well. I just remind myself, always easier to lose fat than it is to gain muscle.
I can NOT stomach cottage cheese texture wise but assuming the blender fixes that?
I gotta say I love me some coffee ☕ but I don't see giving it up anytime soon! 💗🙏🌺
I love coffee, every morning I have a cup of black coffee. Really miss it if cant have it
Great information and recipes in this video. My obsession is a Domino's Pepperoni pizza 🍕 It so good, but so bad lol😆
Nothing wrong with a Dominos in moderation! I'm a big fan too :D
I've just had the cheesy eggs on toast for breakfast and can confirm it was IN-SANE!!
Jon 🔥💯🔥
lol my dog is also named Bruno :D nice video
I've always been addicted to caffeine... always. There's just something about an energy drink..
I go 1 or less a day. My rule is 300mg a day max. with my average being ~140mg a day.
Can you please upload your workout videos rather than vlog type videos?
not tracking veg and sauces
OCD with tracking every single day
Over-training and refusing to take rest days
Monster before every session
Body dismorphia
It will be cool that if you could add the carbs per meal and the total carbs of the day
By “Maingaining” do you think you could be losing out on a lot of strength maybe or some muscle %?
Just curious as “Maingaining” has been getting slated a lot lately .. this could be a video in itself explaining it
😅
I'm probably losing out on some strength/muscle gains. But my programming is solid, I progressively overload week after week, I consume plenty of protein, my sleep is always 7 hours or more and I don't drink a huge amount of alcohol. So even though a calorie surplus would most certainly help, I still see progress because these other components of muscle growth are strong.
@@jclarkefitness oh I’ve no doubt your in incredible shape just was wondering your opinion on it..
I’m trying to do it myself but just wanted to make sure I wasn’t wasting my time 😅
I do 2 sug free monsters a day I’m fine with it I love it. I used to drink a lot of coffee 4 a day since drinking monster I do 1 coffee and I very much prefer the monster. Only thing the price of monster is too high
Caffeine addiction definitely
Do you have a code for bulk?
For me it's chewing gum. I've been addicted to this for years :(
Bruh that’s not even that bad lol
Same 1 pack a day
I love the taste of Monster drinks but it makes me exhausted half the day so best to skip
Saw the thumbnail and hoped Monster wouldn’t be on the list… But it’s the first one😫 someone please tel me it’s not unhealthy
In moderation, it's fine!
Stay at one weight, rather than up and down
Does anyone have a good PPL split? I’ve been tryna find one or just a program or something that isn’t like a cookie cutter like waste of money yk
can i use low fat philadelphia cheese instead of cottage cheese for the egg toast?
Give it a go!
@@jclarkefitness i tried it and it was very creamy! thanks for sharing the recipe. love your vids🔥
I will literally choose a monny over an alcoholic beverage .
Yo bro fix your code
It wasn't working for your last video...we missed out on the sale. I wasn't the only one who had an issue
Apologies. NUTRITION25 (caps sensitive) 👍
Those eggs looked bomb man…
I'm drinking 3 Monster / day and 4 - 5 cans of pepsi max
haha, more Bruno
First 👍🏻
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Monster watermelon is delicious, mind
Second 👍🏻
