Agree! I discovered his channel about a year ago and I’ve watched many many videos. The biggest difference with FHP is that he discusses the nitty-gritty things about fitness and training. As someone who’s been lifting for over 15 years, this MOST definitely helps bc it’s those in-between questions that most often come up for seasoned lifters that rarely get addressed in videos or if they do it’s randomly addressed in another type of video and you miss it. But Pete’s videos are solely dedicated to those tweener, specific questions that come up along your fitness journey. Super thorough and easy to understand. Keep up the great work Pete!
I think meal prepping is one of the easiest things to do for calorie control and for some reason, very intimidating for a lot of people. When I was working, I would meal prep my lunches for the next 3 days, and it would only take about 15 minutes or less. The benefits are beyond calorie control. I would save money by not having to go buy food for lunch, because it was already there. I didn't have to drive anywhere to get it. I could actually enjoy more of my lunch time trying to relax. Most stores now carry veggies that are already cut up and easy to do a quick and healthy stir fry with. It's a good habit to get in to. Great information Peter!
Well, closest to meal prep I can willingly get is stocking up on rice/potatoes or other dry foods that are healthy like nuts or other seeds and while it may seem good to buy combination packs of greens in reality all it does is increase the amount of time for them it takes to spoil since food discretes small quantities of CO2 increasing the rotting process if they are stored close to eachother or near other objects that discrete CO2 over time like wood, and I don't believe in climate change but CO2 does exist and I don't like spoiled food.
Im incorporating broccoli into my diet more. Try eating just 1 head of roasted broccoli, it's sooo filling! And only around 120kcal even including the cooking oil used, but it fills a whole sheet pan. Then you fill the rest of the calories with protein or fat without worrying about eating too much, because eating all that broccoli will feel so satiating it's hard to eat much more.
My main source of daily protein is mostly from Tempe & tofu. It's cheap, taste good, have high protein ratio, plant-based protein, relatively easy to prepare / to find especially in Indonesia.
Lost like 16kg without ever really feeling hungry, proably added a bit of muscle as well because I added 30kg to my bench press during that time. Thanks for all the info ☺
What do you think about the studies that say you can eat massive amounts of carbs and not gain weight because de novo lipogenesis is not an efficient process for carbs. When I say carbs, I don't mean pizza, cake, muffins, etc....I mean potatoes, rice, bread (no spreads), rice, fruits, legumes, etc.
@@ponchoskunk420 yep, the issue with carbs for most is easy to overconsume them, i can easily eat 2000 calories of carbs but would struggle to do that with fat, and barely manage half of that from protein.
@@BradleyCTurner you easily overeat fats, they provide approx 9.0Cal per gram. A bowl of almonds can easily be over 1,000Calories. I was more so talking about how it’s harder to overeat carbs when eating whole single ingredient food spurces like rice, farro, and potatoes. Meanwhile higher processed carbs like cake and potato chips are easy to overeat your Calories.
@@ponchoskunk420 why even bother eating rice though? It's full of carbs and has no nutritional value. It doesn't make sense that eating a massive amount of carbs is good for you. Look into eating nutrient dense not calorie dense foods.
Copied from something i sent my friend, thought it might help people reading comments who are looking for tips Foods that helped me lose 1/4 of my body weight: - baked crisps, i choose wotsits (uk version of cheetos), 80cal per bag, id have three and it made me feel like I was eating loads for only 240cal. - big raw carrots. Try eating more than 200cal of these in one sitting, i dare you (though be aware if you eat too many your skin goes orange, no joke). - cinnamon bun, seriously, 350cal a day and it filled me up and satisfied my sweet tooth, keeping me motivated and consistent. If you want something sweet go for something breadier like a bun, its more filling. Same with baguettes, not 'healthy' but filled me and kept me consistent. - low fat yogurt. Aldi do one that's 12g protein per 60cal, tastes good with added low cal flavourings. Or try skyr or protein yogurts, same density making it difficult to each more than one serving. - low cal hot chocolate and low cal chocolate ice cream, for when I needed chocolate. - cucumber, lots of food for little calories. Just find vegetables you like. - ice cream. I find it fills me, but i only go for ones on a stick so im not tempted to go over on portions. Also checked calories - ice lollies. So many ice lollies are low cal, including ice poles, some of these are like 5 cal each but trick you into feeling like youre eating. - diet fizzy drinks, same as ice lollies, gives you sweet kick for no cal. Seriously, don't drink normal versions, youre just wasting precious calories.
From my experince, watermelon, potatoes, and milk are the most satiating. While the least are Ice cream, chips, cookies, sodas , and food dressings like ketchup, oil and mayo. My theory is that satiaty is based off the benfits the body gets from a certin food , if a food has high neutriants then the body sees this and is satisfied , but if foods are just empty calories then the body must give you a signal to eat something so that you can get the neutriants you need to survive .
Possibly. Also, it should be noted that there is a difference between physiological satiety vs 'desire to eat'. Often, we may have gotten all the calories and nutrients required from food, but we still have a desire to eat because of environmental factors or the hedonic sensations of certain foods 🍉
Processed foods are engineered to make you eat more. That's why we need to stop eating anything processed and packaged. Drug companies and Food companies are working together to make you sick from eating food. Only it food in it's natural state and stay away from anything ground or powdered because it spikes insulin.
@Flow High Performance Sorry if that came across as very abrupt, I was doing a bunch of things at once. :) So - for clarity, is it mass or volume that's most important?
Wrong. Weight loss cannot be achieved by eating “any” foods in a calorie deficit… hormones play a big role. Certain processed foods can signal a body to go into store mode even if there is a caloric deficiency
@@FlowHighPerformance1 Yes. I see what you are saying. Technically you said the correct thing but wanted to make this comment to point out that one could be eating much less that what they currently eat , thinking they will be in a Cloric deficiency but they are eating the wrong foods and not loosing weight
You have no idea how much you changed my perspective and made me think proper. You're very under rated and you're doing great work best of luck

Nice, that will definitely be filling for very little calories 👍
Underrated channel
Excellent synopsis
Cheers 👍
This my friends is spot on!
14:17 Like your "takeaway message" pun, intentional or not...
Great video 👍
Not intentional 😂
@@FlowHighPerformance1 Even better, then 👍
In a cut, needed this bro'. Thanks
No problem 👍
Great video! I'm going to share it everywhere.
Cheers 💪

Nice work, sounds like a very successful fat-loss phase 👍
hey bud, I'm actually curious about how much time that progress required 👀 I want some motivation to keep going and believe in long term results
✍️ add thickeners to all caloric liquids. Got it

I havent seen this research, but I am sceptical from the sounds of it 🤔
You can eat “massive amounts” of carbs and still be in a calorie deficit.

Just do the opposite of this video. But still keep protein high....

@@FlowHighPerformance1 oh yeah you're right , my theory now sounds embarressingly stupid now that I think about it 😭
Nothing to be embarrassed about. It's good to see that you are thinking about these topics 👍

Q: Which Foods Are Best For Weight Loss?
A: All of them, especially when you don't eat them.
:p
My main takeaway from this video is eat potatoes 😆
😂
Mass and volume are not the same.
Good point. I'll be cautious not to use these terms interchangeably 👍
@Flow High Performance
Sorry if that came across as very abrupt, I was doing a bunch of things at once. :)
So - for clarity, is it mass or volume that's most important?
That's okay. Probably volume is more important for satiety I'd say 👍
Wrong. Weight loss cannot be achieved by eating “any” foods in a calorie deficit… hormones play a big role. Certain processed foods can signal a body to go into store mode even if there is a caloric deficiency
wouldnt that mean you are now NOT in a calorie deficit?
@@FlowHighPerformance1 Yes. I see what you are saying. Technically you said the correct thing but wanted to make this comment to point out that one could be eating much less that what they currently eat , thinking they will be in a Cloric deficiency but they are eating the wrong foods and not loosing weight
Definitely. Also, metabolic adaptation can play a role here too 👍
Ok so…. Potato diet. Got it!🫡
😂
