    1. Compared to the difference between three months of dieting with a 25% calorie deficit or a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) of 890 calories per day.
    The result was that although the VLCD lost more total mass, the ratio of muscle to fat loss was also considerably higher.

    2. Hunger is the primary reason that diets fail

    3. Cycling your calories can improve diet adherence, diet satisfaction, and weight loss compared to continuous calorie restriction
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4018593/
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23591120
    4. The amount of calories you eat on one day generally doesn't influence hunger on the following days

    5. "Responses to overfeeding differed markedly with evidence of ‘compensators’ and ‘non-compensators’, but on average, subsequent food intake was stimulated rather than suppressed after overfeeding in spite of markedly elevated body fat (+13%) and fasting leptin (+116%)" www.nature.com/articles/0803194
    6. Given the same energy balance, weight and fat loss are the same

    journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0004377
    7. Adding cardio to a resistance training routine reduced muscle growth effect size by 39 percent
    pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22002517/
    8. Sleep deprivation suppresses appetite satiating hormones like leptin while at the same time raising levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
    See figure 3A and 3B:
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC535701/
    9. Sleeping only 40 fewer minutes per day from Monday to Friday shifted the ratio of the amount of muscle to fat loss from 20 percent to 80 percent.
    academic.oup.com/sleep/article/41/5/zsy027/4846324
    10. Sleeping 5.5 instead of 7.5 hours a day increased muscle loss by 60 percent while decreasing weight loss in the form of fat by 55%.

    Exercising can be really hard and tedious sometimes, but it always makes me feel better. Last year I had almost 300 lbs in body weight. One day I just started moving more, then slow running then I started doing weighted exercises and I was eating clean by following meal plan I got from Next Level Diet. Today I have 200 lbs and I am happy like I never been in my life.

      @@johngardner1898 this is a very inefficient strategy, a struggle!
      Too much sacrifice in the long term will age your body much quicker.
      On the other hand, eating plant based whole foods, you can eat as much as you want without counting calories and loosing weight as a bonus. Surprisingly I stopped losing weight when I got to my ideal BMI - 22 that was easy!
      And combined with exercise that is doing miracles. As a bonus I slowed my ageing and looking younger 😜.

      Cheat meals are important for your mental health though, just don't do a "cheat day" where you eat junk all day long. One cheat meal a week that's under 1500 calories is perfectly fine as long as you're working hard throughout the week.
      Personally I need a cheat meal at least once a week or else I'll start losing motivation to stick to my meal plan.

    The main rule here is stop the hedonistic relationship with food. This low body fat thing is a mental game. Eat for fuel. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t taste good or smell good, what matters is that the macronutrients and calories are lining up correct.

    I went from 13% to under 10% by fasting and calisthenics everyday very quickly. I eat dinner and/or a protein shake. Before eating dinner I do: 1000 squats, 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 1000 reps of different ab exercises and 100 dips with a weighted vest. It takes close to 2 hours but all i got is time at night. I have built more muscle even while fasting till dinner. Knee and back pain i had before is gone. I also dont even get sore. Master your body by doing calisthenics. Trust yourself!

    Simple inexpensive calipers from Amazon or wherever are a great tool for tracking too. I use a 3-site caliper measurement (chest, belly, thigh). 5 or 7-site measurements may be more precise, but they require help to accomplish. You can do this 3-site version by yourself.

    The new 30g protein atkins shakes have been a game changer for me. Allows me to get protein and coat my stomach for my migraine medications in the morning while still allowing me to only eat one meal a day. I have most 115 lbs now. Down from 6'2 387lbs due to medication side effects, down to 265lbs. I have done it over 18 months to avoid loose skin. Patience socks, but there is no shortcut. I ate my way into that mess, and had to eat my way out of it, or stop eating for flavor or enjoyment ever, as it were.

    When you say “sleep longer” such as 7.5 hours or more, does that mean sleep at a specific time and waking up at a specific time? Like from 10 pm to the 5 am or if more than 7 hours let’s say 8 am which is 10 hours? Or if I sleep at 12 midnight or after let’s say 1 or 2 and get up at 10 am? Or in general 7+ hours a night is better? (Without a specific time)

    I've been on 5% of body fat..it was great and horrible at the same time. The looks were amazing, but the lifestyle was a pain. I was barely eating and doing 2 hours of cardio every day. Every bad calorie consumption would push you against your goal and so you would have to fight many times every day against your apetite for some more carbs. It was like an internal nightmare with an external appeal.

  • @Adrian-nc1nu

    I've been staying at 8.5-9% PBF for more than a year now and while I'm reasonably happy with how I look, I admit the mental pressure is nothing to scoff at. Constantly being in a low-energy state is not fun, and the mood swings can hurt social relationships. It takes all I have to keep myself in check so I can look and act relatively normal. Luckily I don't have the rest of the issues listed in the video (food craving, constantly feeling cold, etc). Being an IT guy, maintaining this kind of physique is like working a part-time job but without the getting paid part. It's good to know that these are common issues faced by professional athletes and trainers as well. Just being aware of this helps a lot. While it's hard to correct my sleep schedule, I believe I can improve my diet to get into that "5% calorie deficit" region. I was also worried that I wasn't getting enough cardio, but now I know that I actually shouldn't be mixing cardio and strength training willy-nilly. This has been very helpful, thank you for making this video.

    • @fabiofigueiredo7280
      @fabiofigueiredo7280 4 года назад

      A good starting point would be multiplying your weight (in pounds) by 15. By doing this you will find the calories you need to eat to maintain your body, so if you want to lose fat you'd have to go lower than that number. So for example when I started to cut I was around 191 multiplying that by 15 would give me 2865 to maintain, I lowered that by 500, each and everyday I'd eating ~2365 calories. Like it said in the video, this number varies on how you approach it. But I'd reccomend never going lower than 500.
