Sometimes I wonder how this man is smart enough to know so much about everything. Then I remember, becoming smart is easy, actually.
I know, right ? He always has the best advice about everything !
Just research lol and also developing the ability to not be reliant on others
its because research is easy, actually
@@Just_GamingYC Omg I need that one
He actually made a video about being knowledgeable on things
"even though messing up wasn't part of the plan, giving up was *never* part of the plan." that's actually... an excellent perspective. thank you
100%
I agree. I know a lot about weight loss myself. I can give you advice if you want.
"Never say "I'll start tomorrow"."
I love and agree with this, don't start tomorrow, start right now and if you don't want to start right now you weren't going to start tomorrow anyway.
I'm following a strict diet I thought would be impossible, turns out it's just the start that's hard. It's like your body is throwing a tantrum and once it noticed that you are not going to fall for that, gives up and let's you do whatever you want
@@ChicoCreeper Absolutely! The first 2 weeks are the hardest, you'll feel very hungry in those 2 weeks but your body adapts very quickly and before the 2 weeks are even over your body is accustomed to the new amount of food you're having.
Video idea: "Stopping doom-scrolling/social-media addiction is easy"

Imagine everyone learning and benefiting from it, I can't wait actually
Can't wait for it!
This is much needed
Yeah that would be nice
One of the best decisions I made was to eat an apple every day at 9pm. 9pm is when i get hungry, and the time I find myself snacking the most. By forcing myself to eat an apple at that time, the number of calories I cut down on was a huge amount. My original intention wasnt even to replace my snacking with apples, it was just to eat an apple before snacking. By doing that, I naturally started eating less snacks and started craving apples more.
Edit: to clarify, initially, eating apples helped reduce the number of snacks I was eating because I was feeling physically full sooner and thus I stopped snacking sooner. Eventually, apples (almost) completely replaced my nighttime snacking, and most of my snacks in general.
Also note that you can eat an apple whenever you normally snack, not just 9pm. 9pm is just usually when I snack the most. If 3pm is when you get hungry, eat an apple at 3pm!
Edit 2: There is some debate in the replies about the "healthiness" of eating apples, since they are high in sugar. Apples are high in fiber and will help you stop eating sooner. The fiber also aids in digestion, preventing sugar from being absorbed too quickly. If you are still unsure if an apple is a good snack, you should compare it to whatever you would normally eat. 1 apple is probably healthier than a bag of chips, and has less than half as many calories as a serving of oreos. Its also very easy to overeat chips or cookies, but more difficult to overeat apples. Yes, there are healthier snacks than fruit. But if we are being honest, nobody wants to eat broccoli and plain celery sticks as our go to snack. At least apples are a desirable food to eat, and help me stick to a somewhat healthier diet. God knows I would quit eating celery within a day.
If i am being doubly honest, i still sometimes eat unhealthy snacks from time to time, but that is okay. Switching from 3 cookies per day to 3 cookies per week is still a positive improvement.
Amazing idea
Apples are big, so they fill your stomach easily. This can be applied to many fruits such as mangoes, bananas, oranges, you name it. I learned this is actually a technique used by nutriologists to make their patients eat less.
@@gonzoss3998 Absolutely! I've recently been pivoting to eating oranges.
Im eating apple rn just because of this video
This was exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing. Sugar is my weakness so a late night apple would be perfect
Me personally, I started losing the most weight after reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, a few things you are mentioning in this video are also in the book
Would you mind sharing where did you find the book? I Googled it and it shows me the book, but on different websites a different author is credited.
Its the one by Olivia Thompson
@@AnnaSmith-b9p
Can u just mention a few tips here it won't hurt ?
Because I keep on seeing these comments but idk if I really wanna read the book
@@khadijaiftikhar888 I recommend reading it yourself, reading is incredibly useful for your communication skills and for growing your vocabulary + getting all the tips on the book.
Stupid question but would it work for men
Losing weight is really easy. Having the motivation to keep doing it is the hard part.
I approve this 👑
Exactly
Motivation is a sham. Just start even when you feel like dying. Just keep going even when you hate it. Motivation won't arrive. Only your actions and their results will.
@@narutarduzumakiI agree!! Motivation will come and go you need discipline and to be gracious towards yourself
The elephant in the room is that more often than not, there are mental health issues behind being overweight. It’s not a matter of having enough willpower. It’s easy to do hardcore dieting for a few months and lose 10 kg (22lbs). What’s hard is not feeling like this is pointless a few months down the line and going back to overeating as a source of comfort or temporary happiness .
In the past year i have lost 115 lbs and everything this man says in this video is what i had to figure out in order to lose weight
That's awesome! Congrats!
Congratulations. I gained a ton of weight recently. Planning to lose some rn
@@crunchyblade6829same, goodluck to us!
I've gained about 40 lbs thanks to.a new medication. I'm looking to lose weight without skipping meals. I'm building arm muscle so I can lose calories from muscle tears being repaired.
Ive lost about 80 pounds and youre an inspiration. If i was at 115 lbs id be complete.
This video was uncanny. I've been "trying" to lose weight for years, which mostly consisted of making excuses, buying things and not really changing my lifestyle. After years of trial and error, in the past 6 months I've independently learned exactly the same things as shown in this vid and thats the only thing that has finally started to work.
Break the cycle. Make it easy for yourself to form healthy habits. Throw out the junk food. Keep berries and chicken in stock. Get way, wayyy more sleep and most importantly, pay attention to the calories.
I never wanted to count calories and i stubbornly resisted doing it for years out of desperation to avoid attaching guilt or shame to food... but honestly, just do it, it works.
Instead of being sad about how many calories are in a sandwich you can be thrilled at how few calories are in fruit. Find wins, make them convenient. Be consistent more often than not. Don't sabotage yourself when you slip. Just keep going.
How are you doing now? Post an update 👀
i have NEVER been called out more than the sleep bit at the end, i looked at my clock and it was exactly 12:49 am
Whaaaaaaaaat????? It's 12:49am now. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!!
I just experienced the same thing except it was 12:45am. Close enough to still feel called out
No way! Same here
Chat is 2am for me am I cooked?
@@charliebrewis1158 you're cooked
As someone who has overcome a harsh eating disorder, I wouldn't recommend completely cutting out foods you love, even if they're considered "unhealthy." Instead, try dedicating 80% of your meal to wholesome, nutritious foods, and save 20% for treats you enjoy. Balance will prevent the stress, tension and food obsession that strict dieting causes. Also, drastic calorie cuts will only stress your body, leading it to try and regain what it's losing. You can't fool it :))
So true! I was looking to see if anyone was going to say something about his fixation on foods being “healthy”, not trying to imply anything about him but that the message could be taken to the extreme in peoples’ minds bc food restriction is a slippery slope
It’s not bad to eat cake or ice cream etc on occasion. But a lot of unhealthy foods are addictive. Like the junk food companies create them that way on purpose (excitotoxins is a rabbit hole). Sugar in and of itself is also addictive. If you can transition to healthier foods, you may find that your sugar cravings will lessen and some things become too sweet for your taste. And I think many people think eating healthy means salads and kale chips, but for me it’s steak and potatoes, pasta, stir fry etc. made from scratch will real ingredients. Skip sodas etc and eat your fresh baked brownies all you want. You won’t even gain weight
Agreed. My ability to stick to a diet drastically improved when I switched from "ok I'll swap a slice of cheesecake for overnight oats" to "ok ill swap a giant slice of cheesecake for a really small slice of cheesecake".
@@Eclyptical Been doing this exact thing! It really does work wonders. Every food/drink in moderation is healthy, whether that be a soda a week or small dessert portions over bigger ones. This has helped me so much, and I've lost 10 pounds in 2 months bc of it.
agreed!
What worked for me is FitFast intermittent fasting
advertising on a yt comment section is wild.
Intermittent fasting has been shown to have no difference than just caloric restriction of the same amount.
"I'll just start bulking".. this one hit hard
I prefer the term “cultivating mass”
everytime i PR in the gym I lose all motivation to cut and gain all the desire to turbobulk
i said that then remebered im 27% body fat..
This was me for so many years. I didn't even weigh myself because muscles weigh more than fat so what's the point. Of course I gained about 40 pounds over the years, and it wasn't muscle! :-) It's actually a miracle it was only 40 pounds. Now my problem is that I think - "I'll just not eat later". But that never works.
I just won't eat later is my go to XD
Stopping calorie counting is how I ultimately lost 75 pounds. I focused on getting the nutrients/macros I needed and upping my water intake and stopped eating so many processed foods. The weight came off with much less effort than expected. I also felt less brain fog and more motivation
+1 this. 35 pounds in two months of eating 3-4 times a day with only coffee(no sugar)/water for drinks

Love your videos man always simple! I need to ask you did you read popular book called The 23 Former Doctor Truths, im telling you its life-changing and its a must read now.
'I'm better than everyone else' will keep you going 😂
Unironically, you want to get to a place of "I'm not the kind of person who eats chips". Then healthy eating is just your whole personality and it's not a big deal.
As a healthy person who has that exact thought ("I'm healthier than everyone else. I'm not eating the chips or the dessert."), it felt like he was talking directly to me. 😅 Other people think that too?!!
It was hard initially to resist eating the dessert at places because people would sometimes ask, "Don't you want some dessert?" Now everyone knows me as the healthy guy (and I think they've been encouraged by my example and are eating healthier, too!).
I am not better than everyone else
@@guiltyshoes do you feel guilty when you say otherwise
There have been more times than I can count where I have asked to see the nutrition labels of what my friends are eating/drinking, before silently sliding it back. I wouldn’t consider it to be the same, but it’s definitely in a similar headspace.

My hero
To “won’t see immediate progress” I liked weigh yourself every day and average. I’ve been setting Thursday as my weigh day but if it is a heavy water weight day, it looks like even negative progress and is very discouraging
Do you live with others because this is impossible if you do and they’re not on the same page.
I’m good with a food desert so I don’t eat or much… but alas I have a husband and 2 children and food deserts are cruel.
I used to exercise 90-120 minutes a day… but alas see the above.
Hey, you dropped this🏅
theres always this guy. Thanks!
how to do this and not develop an eating disorder again
You’re not really asking BUT I’ve avoided eating disorders by not worrying about how much I eat and just focusing more on the what. I still give myself fun snacks and treats but I just try to be mindful about when and how much and for meals I focus on proteins fruits and veggies.
Just think about being healthy and don’t focus on the weight aspect. I stopped eating junk food and focused on fruits and yogurts and water and healthy meats and vegetables. I lost weight as a side effect. But I feel happy being healthy.
Have other things in your life that bring you joy, it is easier to fall back into obsession if it is the only thing you are focusing on. Find reward in the exercise itself, not the goals. For example I love how exercising makes me feel more awake and alert. I love feeling like I achieved something. Focus on consistency, not intensity or numbers. A lot of the tips in this video are better for ppl without a history of EDs, I would highly recommend not weighing yourself daily. I am just one person, if ur able to see a dietitian that would be the most helpful, or even look up tips online, there are tonnes for ppl recovering from an ED :)
What the first reply said. Counting calories made me stressed out, it got better the moment i focused on eating healthy and balanced and *listening to my body*.
It's not the calories that matter but *what and how much your body needs*
Don’t be weak minded

No bullshit. Straigh to the point and so simplified. Can’t wait to apply these and see the results. Thankyou!
one thing about a diet is that you kind of need to do it forever. part of longevity is allowing yourself the things you enjoy + things that help you meet your goals. ie: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a boiled egg for breakfast. or: an actual serving of reese’s puffs, skim milk, and a low calorie greek yogurt. or: two oreos + an apple. by adding foods you can diet for longer. something to consider!
Yeah as a former anorexic, I think he's right about a lot of things, but if you follow all these tips you're not gonna maintain any weight
@@vogeline_he even said that you are allowed to eat processed and high calorie foods. He said to just replace some of the bad food with good food instead. And yes, anyone who manages to stay in a calorie deficit will keep the weight off purely through the power of math lol
Just buy smaller plates. Easy trick because it literally limits what you can eat and eat when you feel hungry and not bored. Very important to tell this feelings apart.
Ask yourself why you are hungry, is it because you haven't eaten the whole day or you have nothing else to do
@@Samrtfirdeg This also feeds into the reasons listed for snacking. Thirst and hunger send the same signal to the brain, which is why drinking water first is the best option before turning to food. What people tend to think of as thirst is actually the start of dehydration.
What you like can be changed over time. Preference is just habit. If you don't eat junk, eventually you don't miss it anymore.
I found that eating chicken ceasar wraps made at home (baked chicken breast, lettuce, caesar dressing, & a tortilla wrap) i literally wasnt bloated before bedtime. My tummy stayed small. It was awesome!

We got this 💪
I don't recommend intermitted fasting at all though, it just made me loose energy and eat for too much good during the hours where I didn't fast. Like I just couldn't stop eating. It's also just not maintainable. You wanna stay skinny for more than just a couple months don't you?
@@vogeline_ it really depends on the person, some people cant maintian it while for others it suits their lifestyle perfectly. maybe you were fasting too long or maybe you used the wrong time frame for u, or maybe if is just not good for u 🤷♀ that doesnt necessarily mean itll not work for others
@@__________________________971 well you kinda just proved my point here. You can't do intermittent fasting forever. And after you stop doing intermittent fasting your metabolism is f***ked.
It's just not good in the long term
@vogeline_ meanwhile I've been intermittent fasting for 8 years and it's kept my weight perfectly fine. Eventually your body adapts to your meals times so the energy loss and feeling of hunger outside your fast goes away. Once it becomes your body's new normal then it's something that's easy to just keep doing forever.
YEAH WE GOT THIS!! LETS MAKE IT OUR YEAR 💪
i can't afford to eat 15 strawberries every day
Eat 2 🍌
@@emobombado2469 trueeeeeeeee
Emmmm I work at a restaurant and I take some frozen strawberries and some other stuff so I won't spend that much 👀
Gotta save those extra 10-20 bucks cause I want to buy a house or something.
the goal is to find the least calorie dense thing you don't hate yourself for eating, to get yourself the most full with the least calories. my discount grocery sells frozen berries that are overstock for an ok price and then i will rinse them in water to unfreeze them and make them taste edible. if you can find a cheap/free source of apples or bananas, those are much better than processed foods, even though they're 2-3 times as calorie dense as berries.

Hey, thank you a lot for the effort and time you spent for this video. I’m glad this video is not just: Track every kcals you touch because that can get dangerous really quick. For everyone reading this, please take care of your self. Losing weight can HARM your body if you overdo it. If you start being worried or scared about kcals it’s about to get unhealthy. Eating disorders are really dangerous and will take away all the joy of your life.
I know that sounds dramatic but for me it started with overeating one meal, skipping the next one, binge eating and this circle even got me to puke on purpose.
So please…losing weight is not just black and white. If you are slightly worried about your habits speak with someone about it.
Making progress takes time…so be patient, you can do it 🫶🏻
I personally always struggled with two things. Not eating the right foods, and not moving around enough. Especially with the profession I'm getting into, there's not much I can do that allows me to move around. For the past year I've been eating nothing but protein, vegetable, and the carbs that are good to eat. I stirred away from fast food and all that crazy processed crap we rely so heavily on.
I've always been averaging 1-2 hikes per week. Never felt better. Sleep slightly improved but could do better. The only person you can blame is yourself. Great video!

If I may, I would also like to give another recommend: take up an active hobby. Ever since I started bouldering and taking up circus lessons, my strength has immensely improved, and though I have yet to lose a lot of weight (I think I need to adjust my diet choices for that), I have felt more healthy and powerful than I have ever before :)
What are circus lessons? sounds interesting!
@@Neobot21 It's classes of a circus school :) Can be any discipline really, but I took general circus training, which teaches the basics of all kinds of a disciplines (think about things like partner acrobatics, aerial, balancing, juggling etc.) Can definitely recommend it!
How fun! I’ll have to check for something like that in my area.
This is the best advice for the exercise side of the equation! An actual active *hobby* makes achieving the true lifestyle change for weight maintenance feasible. And it shifts focus to what matters: health and fitness.
From my own experience, it can help avoid the weight obsession or disordered eating that might come from only focusing on reducing your calories to reduce that scale number. When I started bouldering and doing some climbing specific strength training at the gym I didn't lose weight for months, because I was gaining muscle as fast as I was losing fat. Doing my first pull-up was such a great milestone for both strength and weight goals. Losing more weight came later, and it's so much easier when you have a true specific, functional motivation like "I want to be better at bouldering!" than something more egoistic like "I want to look better" or vague like "I want to be healthier."
I force some cardio for health reasons, but if that was all I had I'd have given up on it years ago. Habits are good, but I never found that motivating enough. Bouldering is my choice, and I favor bodyweight training and sport in general. Bouldering also works for all body types and most fitness levels, there's always easy problems and friendly folks at every gym I've visited at all skill levels. If you don't like traditional gyms (I hate them) and want to be stronger, it's my go-to recommendation.
@@cyclic_infinity this. Outside of your awesome love for bouldering, I also really agree with the "goals"-part, for me my motivation became something like "I want to be able to do some of those acrobatic movements and aerial acrobatics in circus eventually" (I have yet to achieve much of that, but I feel like I'm on the way), and having a concrete goal like that is such a game changer
his step 6, habit making was the most important one for me. one thing that helped was writing down my exercise routine and improving them by one rep ever week and then after every 5 rep increase i would increase weight by 5-10 pounds depending on muscle and restart the rep increase. turned working out into like weekly goals with actual results into a game of progress. i work out about 1.5 hours a session, 5 sessions a week, massive changes since i started that.
This was inspirational! Thank you! I sort of knew these things, but it’s important to have it summarized. And everybody else is trying to sell you a plan here on RUclips.
I don’t even use the content in these videos and I’m still interested all the way through. Thanks for providing great quality content that can actually be useful.
The way I do is this, my profession, my family and my life depends on my health. If I'm fat, out of shape, tired, unconditioned ect I WILL COST people or my life.

Hey. Nodding your head seems like good NEAT (non-exercise activity) to me!
Felt this one hundred percent.
The single most motivating for me is doing it with friends. I've been going to the gym for the last 8 months and I've been cutting for the last 4, and the biggest reason I've lasted this long is because I've been goifn and goofing off with friends and we've been keeping tabs and sharing eachother's successes during the cutting/bulking (depending on who). Another motivating factor is just watching at myself in the mirror and actually seeing the progress. Keeping pictures and comparing them every once in a while feels incredible

@K0rbzii in my experience keeping store bought bread in the fridge makes it last longer. Homemade bread is more debatable though
@@kimberly1661 Oh seriously?? I had no idea!!
@K0rbzii yeah! It slows down the mold! (again, in my experience) Some say that keeping homemade bread in the fridge, especially sourdough, makes it go stale faster, but I haven't experimented myself yet of counter vs breadbox vs fridge. The lack of preservatives in homemade bread, while desirable, can make bread scheduling tricky lol. But I've had no complaints with keeping store-bought loaves / English muffins / bagels in the fridge.
This is by far, the BEST NO BS video I've seen about weight loss. I've seen hundreds and them and found a lot of them don't really point out the root problems that are discussed instead in this video. Thanks!
I agree. But I don't know if adding dates for "completion" helps too much.
Starting fat loss journey with morning jogging sounds like a mistake. Unless one really likes running of course.
great video, my only mention is to be careful of a lot of the "zero sugar" and "low fat" replacement products -- they often contain artificial sweeteners and substitutes that can wreak havoc on your metabolism and digestive system. It's best to generally stick to the produce and butcher sections of your grocery store as much as possible. It's honestly where all of the actually good food comes from anyways
This guy gives the best advice on the most essential topics in such a simple way with a lot of humor. This is the perfect RUclips channel. And he’s improving millions of lives.
Sometimes people need this kind of stuff explained to them like this, so thank you for continuing to upload.
yessss exactly some to explain the basics that arent going to make fun of you
ive been doing weeks/months of weight loss research and just now came across this video. bro really covered it all
0:10 no it doesn't matter how much you exercise as long as you have calorie deficit. So it's like 10% knowing how much you're burning every day, 20% diet and 70% actually doing what you said you would. I'm not saying you shouldn't exercise but if you're just doing it for a couple months you'll have to be honest with yourself that you stopped, and adjust your diet so that you don't go into surplus, and for many people it gets too hard so they tend to also quit the diet and get back to their former weight.
You don't know how much this video meant to me. It's almost summer and I'm suffering to have a lean body. Thank you so much for this video
"The real cheat code to motivation is doing it for so long it becomes a habit"
As a person with ADHD this never happens, every day is a struggle. It's actually far easier at the beginning when making a change is new and exciting. The thing that changes with experience is knowing and being frustrated enough by the consequences of failure to stick to the plan to actually do it.
I could add a few things given to relatives who were followed by dieteticians :
-Don't skip meals. Seriously don't. Eat well, don't eat less.
-Take things slow, you can loose weight really fast but chances are the moment you finish your diet it'll come right back.
That's because diets aren't something you "finish" that's FAD dieting.
Your diet is what you eat every day. Whatever you are eating to get to a smaller size should be what you continue to eat indefinitely. If you eat the calories to maintain your body at 160lbs then you will gain/lose weight proportionately to how close you are to that weight, and as long as you don't change your diet, you will end up at 160lbs.
If you pick a fad diet that's built to sustain a body at 120lbs then you will get to that point, and if you go back to eating the way you did when you were 300lbs....you will be 300lbs again.
So gonna disagree on the first bullet point about don't skip meals. I've lived my entire life until recently eating 1 meal a day. I always skipped breakfast and often skipped lunch or if I did eat lunch it'd be more like half of a lunch and I would eat the other half at dinner. I've always been a fairly light eater. But point is, everybody is different. My personal body is used to one meal, and spread out throughout the day. I.e. I may order a burger at lunch, eat half of it then at dinner eat the other half.
Recently, however, I have been gaining lots of weight. I'm bigger than I've ever been in my life. And the reason? Now I eat breakfast and dinner or lunch and dinner. Adding a 2nd meal to my diet has seen me grow unhealthy amounts of weight to the point I now need to go back to 1 meal a day.
End of day it's all about calorie intake. So actually, yes, you can skip a meal and end up losing weight if you can commit to it and if you stay eating that way and as long as you get enough nutrition and vitamins. I always mixed things up every day to ensure I got the full range. You can even lose weight eating junk food and the foods you love if you can simple cut back how much of it you eat. True fact. It's just easier said than done for most people. The key is though you have to STAY eating that lower amount. You can't just return to how you were eating before. It has to be a permanent change. Which does get easier over time
@@WildWombats Dude you're eating fucking burgers of course you're going to be fat. Eat actual food three times a day.
Like holy shit this post is up there as one of the most disturbing post I've ever seen on the Internet. Please don't do that to yourself.
@@WildWombatsall i’m hearing is you gave yourself an eating disorder
@@NO-rf2ff I was not underweight and I had all the vitamins and nutrients as I had a varied diet. If that is an eating disorder then call it that, but I would say it was fairly healthy for my body. Again, not every person is identical. You may need 3 meals. I don't and even to this day, I still can't do 3 meals, and in fact am gaining unhealthy amounts of weight from simply 2 meals. The world is not black and white. One solution does not work for all. I simply cannot eat 3 meals a day and that has nothing to do with any eating disorder. My body just simply cannot without becoming obese at that point. I have never understood how people can eat 3 meals a day, period. My entire family are very light eaters. I think only my grandpa ate 3 meals a day and, lo and behold, he was a pretty big guy. I would argue others are eating too much. It's not like I starved myself. Because I always ate until I was full. I just had a small stomach. 🤷♂️
Good video. I would only suggest that you prioritize walking over high intensity cardio. Because the latter usually makes you overcompensate for the loss of glucose by eating anxiously throughout the rest of the day. Walking doesn't do that, it fuels primarily from fat and just a bit of glucose, so it doesn't make you super hungry. Not everyone has two hours to spend walking a day, though. Zone 2 cardio is also key if you have the time for it.
TO WOMEN: Instead of doing an immediate dip in calories, lower it slowly. Female bodies prioritize fat in case you get pregnant and therefore will start eating your muscle to preserve fat. You will think that you're losing fat when in fact you are losing muscle! Basically your body panics and wants to make sure that even though you are on an extreme diet, you are still able to get pregnant. Yes I know this sucks.
In the first month, lower you daily calories by ~100 and each month lower it by another 100.
Yes I know it seems like it will be slow but trust me! Source: My boyfriend is a physical therapist (on his way to get his pdh), and a personal trainer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Some of you, especially men aren't understanding the point. This post is addressing WOMEN. I know a lot of women specifically who think that reducing their calories drastically is going to make them lose weight. Yes it's a fact that you will lose weight. But the weight you are losing is muscle and not fat. And yes, if you continue doing that you will eventually lose fat too. But as soon as you eat more again once you reach your goal weight, your body will store a lot of fat because it thinks it needs to save it for another emergency.
It's also important to include exercise to your lifestyle and eat healthy. Of course you can't always eat exactly 100 calories less, but it's a good estimate :).
A lot of studies on weight loss are on 5'10, white males which is why a lot of studies can't really be cited. We also need to take into account women's menstrual cycle. All in all, women are way more complicated than men. (Bf's words)
Again, source: BF who is a physical therapist and gets paid to help people, specifically women, lose weight/gain muscle.
Yes! This is 100% true. Unfortunately this gets worse as women age BUT doing it in the method you suggested helps in gaslighting your body into maintaining the muscle and losing the fat. (The difficulty in losing/maintaining muscle and fat is dependent on genes; i had an easier time in weight loss)
Omg thank you so much I hate that 😭
The weight loss between men and women is not that, it's not that deep. Men have more muscle which increases calorie need so we have more of a "buffer" Women and Men diet plans by professionals are 99% the same.
@@HXRDWIREDGaming what's your source? I'd like to see some studies. Do you have a degree?
@athena5710 a good study to read to start is nih.gov article PMC6282840 which is a study on diabetes prevention. and study PMC5313337 which directly addresses my comment.
my comment that the plans are 99% the same is verified by many in the field as well as the simple notion that your body doesn't think it's gonna get pregnant. at all. it doesn't work like that. bodies are reactive. muscle is the sheer defining factor of calories burned sedentary.
also when you assume people have a slow metabolism (fat) you are wrong. studies (multi) found that fat people have a fast metabolism and you can change your metabolism by just gaining muscle.
the top comment above us is exactly why people are not trusting of imperical testing methods because "it's not what they've seen or agree with" even though you can test it yourself and repeat it. it's quite the problem and the same source as the vaccine hysteria.
(last source on metabolism was 21893 from Cleveland clinic)
essentially fast and slow metabolism is a myth and it's solely based off muscle mass and this is why women have a harder time. physically it is true to an extent due to the size of the person and even matching people can see differences and that's where this comes from.
I encourage everyone to learn to read actual studies and not someone's footnotes. this can help broaden the understanding of life In general and show you that the stupidest person you know is smarter than 50% of people.
best!
My advice is telling people close to you your goal! After many attempts to try to lose weight I started as a joke telling everyone "I can't eat any of that, I'm on a diet" I repeat it so much as a joke one day that I started to become so aware of my eating haha, just kept telling myself "I can't eat this I'm on a diet" while laughing, and everyone around me would tell me the same
Only thing to add is that bacteria in your stomach can make a big difference!
So long term healthy eating makes you heathier even if you eat unhealthy later!
It's like a garden, take good care of it now so you will need to stress about it less later. *your life also depends on this garden*
The last sentence 😂
Video Idea: "Living a happy and fullfilling life, is actually easy"
I stopped eating lunch at school since I have lab and work to do during lunch period. Then slowly I stopped eating breakfast since I have to go to school early to get academic help from my teachers. Then I stopped eating dinner since I don’t feel hungry anymore. I haven’t checked my weight yet, but I feel really light and dizzy recently. I think I am losing weight and becoming slim.
I've just started working out 5 months ago, and i've got little progress on my body. I realized my diet is just so bad that's why my gains are so minimal. I guess i gotta sleep and eat more. This video is very informational and great!
Absolutely fantastic video. I watched it all the way without stopping. Straight to the point, concise, easy to understand. amazing work
lifting weights and 0 cardio helped me burn fat and gain muscle within a month. Made my appetite skyrocket and still lost weight
I knew like 90% of this stuff but that's after years of looking into it myself, it's so good to see SO much important information condensed into an easy to watch and understand video, great job mate reckin I'll be sharing this to people in future :)
same, in all my years of being somewhat-into self improvement, this video is THE perfect summary of literally everything i've learnt! this guy's vids are seriously jam packed with sweet succulent juicy knowledge
i feel like such a video like this should pop up on my recommended page every week so I get a fresh boost of motivation
I think my biggest obstacle of working out is the mental block that I have surrounding being fit.
I’m a 21 year old Japanese male who is 5’4 (163cm tall) and 69kg (152 pounds). I’m a little chubby and I’d prefer to be on the skinnier side because I find that cute. I don’t want too much muscle, but some toning would be sexy.
I’ve tried working out a couple times, but I usually stop after 5 weeks. There are several factors to this, and they’re mostly mental barriers.
1. My clinically-diagnosed OCD makes counting numbers and reps very unpleasant. I have frequent irrational fears of doing reps until it feels just right or else my family/friends die for example (if you’re unfamiliar with OCD, please look it up, it’s not quite the same as what the stereotype depicts)
2. The idea of needing to constantly be improving myself scares me. After a while, the pressure really scares me out of working out. This might be a fear of failure or not living up to my own expectations. This might also be because I’m not good at setting goals, and to be honest, I don’t really know what my goals are for the following reasons:
3. I value kindness above anything else. Because I look down on myself for not being fit as the models on Instagram, or even some of my friends, I’m afraid that getting fit will make me look down on others. Take this video for example. I know it was a joke, but calling people who eat potato chips “peasants” turns me off from wanting to work out. That to me seems unkind and brings others down. I’m just really afraid of becoming someone who is obsessed with being fit and looks down on others who may be less fit, fat, etc. I don’t want to be fatphobic or judgemental of other people.
4. I am a gay man who prefers to be feminine. I don’t think being fit is exclusively masculine, but masculinity scares me a little. There’s a notion of high-competitiveness and comparing yourself to others based on who is more fit. That makes me uncomfortable.
5. Loving myself. Does getting fit means that I don’t love my own body? That’s sort of a rhetorical question, because I don’t really love looking at my body. What I’m afraid is that I feel like I should be trying to love my body as it is, and saying I’ll only love my body after I get fit makes me sad. Does it also mean I don’t love other bodies unless their fit?
Most of these issues stem from anxiety, fatphobic comments I’ve received growing up, my OCD, and being an effeminate man. For these reasons, setting goals is hard because I actually don’t know what I want. Do I want to be fit, or is that only because I feel the need to conform to masculinity, or that I feel unloveable unless I am fit? If I get fit, I don’t want that to be a reason I am “better” than people. And if I am simply being “better” than my previous self, does that imply I wasn’t enough before?
Because if these mental barriers, I can’t seem to stick to a habit or set goals.
If someone can help me find a way around these mental barriers, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.
P.S. I love bubble tea so heckin much. It tastes good and it’s like my personality lol. I know that’s not the healthiest personality but I want to point out that eating certain foods is connected to ways people socialize. Going to a party, a bar, a movie theatre, a date- they all have junk food associated with it. Is there a way to honour the relationships I have with friends and people, but also stick to a healthier diet?
Thank you again.
Whoa whoa don't eat 800 calories a day. 1200-1300 is the minimum healthy amount for most people.
800 calories is feasible short term for some people (under medical supervision)
I think he meant breakfast
Also a good idea is 'disipline is easy,actually'
"even tho messing up wasn't part of the plan, giving up was never part of the plan"
I like how he says losing weight is easy and then explains all the difficult things you have to do to make it happen.
Eat less move more
It seems difficult at first but it’ll eventually become a habit
@@Bloods2006eat smart and move more
Its easy, actually just live like Sheldon Cooper in his OG time
I'd say it's eat healthier and move more.
The volume of the food suggested is more but less calories overall.
The last sentence in the end is the best sentence you could ever end this video with.
9:20 - This part was eye-opening! You really changed my perspective.
I will say my only disagreement with this is not making your food so very tasty. Imo, eating a wholesome, healthy meal that you still made taste amazing with low-cal/no-cal sauces and toppings makes you even more satisfied and gets you in the whole mindset of 'omg dieting is so easy this is fire food.' Credits: did all of these things plus ate untasty, bland food and was irritable, depressed, and dissatisfied with life
Got some recipes, ideas?
Hey man I love your straight forward video production style. Reminds me of casually explained. A cool video would be “Making a movie is easy actually”. Thanks
What a perfect, no-nonsense video for weight loss. Subscribed 💯
I once lost 30 kgs in 3 months, or 10 kgs every month for 3 months straight. I was overweight, depressed, tired of life and decided to make a change. I only ate oatmeal for those 3 months. 1/2 glass of oats boiled in 1 glass of water = 1 bowl of oatmeal (150-180 kcal). No sweeteners or fruits added, it tasted like shit. Rinse and repeat 4-5 times a day (I stayed below 1000 kcal every day) + stay active and you WILL lose fat faster than you can say oatmeal! Everybody said I was crazy to do it and that it was unhealthy (it is VERY unhealthy, even life-threatening), but I did it anyway. I suffered no health issues and I've never regained a single kg (I eat normal and it's been 7-8 years - tho I've become super aware of what I eat, count kcal and do try to avoid processed carbs). It's amazing what you can do with a little bit of willpower.
Sleep is super important during weight loss. So is staying active (walking every day is enough). And yes, you can use zero-calorie sodas to your advantage, but be aware they do contain other ingredients that do affect you and your weight loss. Drink only Coke Zero for a month vs drink only water and tell me there's no difference. There is a BIG difference.
Every word of this story is true. While I wouldn't recommend doing what I did, I do believe that whatever choices you make to lose weight, replacing some of your meals with oatmeal will do wonders for your weight loss. Once in a while, I did replace oatmeal with a healthy chicken or fish dish, but 99% of the time I did only eat oatmeal (boiled in water and not milk, every kcal counts).
Eating only oatmeal on a diet - it is one of the worst advice you can give. It creates glucose spikes and terrible cravings and it almost has no protein in it. You are lucky you had no consequence (or had not you)?
bro when he said the part about the loop being screwed over by tiredness, anxiety, boredom, confusion, distractions, all of those are ADHD symptoms, i just coulndnt stop laughing, like when i was going to my therapist and we encountered all of these issues and i had to understand their concepts and fight them, and the video just sums up all of the tips i did to fight these symptoms, the " work from the most obscure location " one just had me crying, i have done that so many times and people do look me weird and i say its fun (: , very good video i love it
Honestly, I'm a nutritionist and I've been ripped before and this is exactly how you do it. Great video.
As someone who has lost 100 plus pounds, all of this is pretty much what I tell people when they ask me how to lose weight themselves
I knew most of these things, but seeing them in a pleasant video with simple graphics and nice full lists really makes them memorable. Great video.
I’ve found for myself the best way to lose weight without tracking calories has been making big bowl of tasty salads (lots of onion, garlic, olives and feta) that I eat during my feeding window, or just eat protein until I feel full.
After few weeks I stop thinking about cravings.
The first time I actually know something about the topic
love this guy, I usually watch for entertainment instead of actually doing anything he says.
but to those who do want to follow this, this is a lot to remember
to make things easier, its usually better to just give a few simple sayings so its easy to understand and easy to remember
I now know why people couldn’t lose weight. And he’s right. Eating the junk & falling off your “diet”. Healthy eating should be a life style change & exercise should go with it
Make a video called “Becoming a RUclipsr is easy actually” I think it would be easy, actually to make, considering you became huge after barely any time and videos.
A great tip is to make quality content and stop blaming the algorithm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Listen to critics/ask for critique and adjust
Also I should add: to upload regularly, work hard, the ones who work hard with good quality (good research etc) and frequent uploads, r the ones who succeed.
@@jaybeanzx I used to believe in that but I see well researched videos, well made thumbnails and hours of work put-into having thousands less views than, say, a random new channel with literally zero subscribers, automatic screenshot thumbnail, no description and no tags.
@@NathComH Oh, Ig there’s exceptions, but generally there’s truth in it. There’s ppl who could grow if they focused on their quality and stop blaming the algorithm.
@@jaybeanzx have you seen shorts creators? they do a greenscreen video and they literally get millions of views. Is that not the also the algorithm fault? i say its not a one sided thing that its everybody fault about their interested and interacting with it, youtube not doing anything about it so I agree with your words but I say its too much of one argument on one one thing
The real answer may be to have genuine ideas that make you put in the effort to post it rather than having half-baked ideas that only sound good in ur head (like what I generally do)
That was just step zero now that I think about it
The biggest inspiration in this video, for me, is that I knew all of this and was pretty much nodding the whole time. I have gained some weight again lately and I am a point in my life that i have a good enough mental to go "well then lets just work on it thats all fine its a health thing it doesnt define your actual value" and knowing I really do know how is pretty great inspo. I hope I will remember to come back here real soon when I am doing better and have some good results. Thanks for the great video; cheers!
You should make a video about building muscle or becoming fit, as someone who doesn't worry about weight but absolutely cannot build or maintain muscle it would be very useful!
yesirrr please
1) eat more protein
2) there are cool routines in RUclips (BOM fullbody 3x, NH's women's program)
3)do them
"The tastier your food is, the more cravings you'll get for tasty food."
new sub :3
make a video on how to gain weight
Watch thw video in reverse
Eat.
@@rudyrudy7823i laughed to hard at this XD
Eat more food and weight lift
think of the opposite of what he said
I struggle with sleeping and tiredness. I can sleep 4, 8 or 16 hours and I'm still feeling groggy thorought the day. I can't go a day without a nap. I don't know if it's the food, the daily routine, the people I'm surrounded with, the mental health or whatever, but I just can't seem to stop being tired. If I lay down, I'll start feeling sleepy and go nap. Maybe it's the lack of exercise, but I just can't seem to be able to motivate myself to stick to anything. I make an exercise routine, I do it once or twice and I either forget about it or start avoiding and justifying it subconsciously. If you have some spare time, would you mind doing a video about how to stay motivated or how to stop being tired? If you haven't already:)
I am so thankful for your video! I lost 8.5 kg in two months. Currently i am planning to get my ideal weight of 70 kg. Thank you so much 😊
this is actually such a good video. like its positive and realistic, and i especially appreciated the mention of conditions that make it difficult to lose weight. so many fatphobic people just don’t understand that every body is different. our body chemistry is SO unique, and progress looks unique on different individuals. again, this is such a positive explanation. its nice to see good nutritional health content.
Literally the best advice ever without asking us to subscribe or buy a course.
Quick reminder about eating healthy, find foods you like that are healthy, and control the portions of the unhealthy foods that you don’t want to give up. For instance if you like yogurt, start eating more of it. If you like scrambled eggs, get into that, ect
buttermaxxing, eggmaxxing, meatmaxxing, looksmaxxing wait he didn't say that last one
How did you call me out in every minute of this video???
as someone with a sleep disorder; good sleep has definitely been the number one obstacle in my weight loss/eat healthier goals; it's insanely hard to maintain a lifestyle that requires a lot of energy and discipline when you're constantly exhausted and your body actively works against you when you try to get enough sleep. Not that this is an excuse, unless your sleep issues are an indicator of a more serious illness or disability; I've realized that I need to figure out how to effectively treat my disorder before I can really focus on my weight loss goals since traditional methods of losing weight are not sustainable with chronic fatigue
great video. I've been dieting a few months now, and everything in this video is almost exactly what I have been doing, and it works great. Just getting through the first few weeks is tough, but then it becomes a habit, so its easy, actually
This video was motivating for me. I switched to eating oatmeal with blueberries for breakfast, I’m slowly decreasing my snacks, and I have started exercising more. Thank you for making this video. :)
great video! I have been on a keto diet for the last few months and I have been losing a lot of weight and feeling a lot better
THE FACT THAT I ACTUALLY NEED THIS RN, MY BRAIN NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND IN THE SIMPLEST WAY POSSIBLE 💀
Love the video!!
I would love to see you make one for bulking, simply because of how straightforward your videos are
