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
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
"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'll just start bulking".. this one hit hard
I prefer the term “cultivating mass”
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!!!

No way! Same here

That’s funny 😂
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ❤😊
a well balanced video
'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
This is literally just what we all learned in middle school PE class about setting SMART goals
It didn’t feel real then. Everyone in my grade was skinny
You had such things at PE class? Lucky!
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.
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
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 .
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. I have been at that spot of gaining and loosing and gaining ect. This man is correct, be disciplined, make it easy to make good choices not the other way around. YOU HAVE TO BATTLE EVERYDAY. You got this.
easy actually is just, such a great channel. not some bogus productivity guru, or someone who gives advice that's only applicable to more wealthy and abled people. they're concise and realistic, and are ACTUALLY about things that people think are difficult but are only made difficult by bad information online, and that's what this channel combats
Fr all other channels are just with musculated men and camera pointing their face while they give shitty advices nobody used
Sex and running are free activities that burn calories AND make you feel good.

Nice to meet you peasant
Watched it till the end. Liked it.
Saved it, screenshotted multiple steps and I'm going to follow this from today.
Wish me luck bois, and I wish the very best to all homies trying to lose weight.
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 💪
As someone who lost 15 kilos in 2 weeks, I can confidently say that eating less than 1800 cal then exercising every day is not good for the body nor is it sustainable.
Those 2 weeks were in summer when I had a lot of free time, but when school came back, I gained the weight again and more after a month. Since I had to eat more and sleep less and have less time for exercise because of college.
how’d you lose the weight
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.
Everything is easy actually only if you do it with consistency
It's easier said than done!
@@TpbrautNot really, just force yourself to do it for someone you love
hundered percent agree!
or just use Ozempic
@@Tpbraut i have a technique that may backfire. To motivate me to do consistent cold baths (3 years) and morning cold baths (1 year) everyday, i just said that if i stop no matter what i say i am a pussy and weak. So pretty much, you have to either succeed at your goal, or admit to yourself that you are weak willed.
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!
I have to say... As a woman with PCOS I was *actually* shocked to see it mentioned in this video. Like, it affects appx 10% of women yet nobody seems to know what it is.
I liked this video a lot, even without that though. Thank you for the inspiration! Now I guess I have a day to write it into a smart goal and go from there. :)
I didn't realize PCOS was so rare. It seems that many of the health channels I watch frequently discuss it, the pathology, and how to reverse/ improve it. Such as kendberrymd, Sten Ekberg, Kelly Hogan, Dr Robert Kiltz.
@@TagiukGold 10% is *extremely significant* not rare. How many health conditions can you name that affect 1 in 10 people? But hey god forbid a woman make a single comment without a man swooping in to correct her, especially when it comes to her own health.
@jatnip I’m not sure what tone you read his comment in, but where did you read him correcting her? Why did the fact that he thinks of 1/10 as being more rare than he would expect mean he’s correcting her? Or that he’s wrong to think so? Be nicer
@@emilys1418 so eager to be picked huh? think more critically and learn to recognize a condescending, diminishing tone from men. the original comment was talking about how common PCOS is and how no one is talking about it and this dude says it’s both rare and very talked about. Men like this aren’t owed niceties for being passive aggressive but i’m sure he approves of you now so mission accomplished right?
@@jatnip the only person with a condescending tone here is you. Why does defending a random guy I don’t know make me a pick me? Again, be nicer ❤️
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!

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.
Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive and insightful approach to weight loss! Your steps are very well thought out and cover essential aspects of a successful weight loss journey.
I appreciate how you emphasize the importance of setting goals, making plans, and building momentum, which are crucial for long-term success. Your tips on managing diet, such as prioritizing protein, drinking more water, and avoiding liquid calories, are practical and easy to implement.
It's also great to see that you acknowledge the importance of willpower and not getting discouraged after setbacks. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm sure your advice will inspire and help many others on their weight loss journey!
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.
Me nodding my head to everything being said and periodically yelling out "that's right" while simultaneously eating a bag of white cheddar snacks and telling myself, "I will definitely start tomorrow".
I have literally said all four of those diet cope options to myself
copemaxx until you succeedmaxx
Copemaxx until you failmaxx
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.
@@muchtooseriousdude7045 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
Literally the best advice ever without asking us to subscribe or buy a course.
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!
I got 2 dogs so I get regular walking no matter what
what profession?
@@vogeline_ That's perfect! Unfortunately there's a lot of owners that has dogs but don't want to do any movement with them. Especially with breeds that require that constant exercise.
@@firstdonuts Data Center Tech / Sysadmin. You spend most of your time on your computer, or standing in front of server racks. That's it. It's not the greatest for your health 😅and I've seen how it badly effects your health with my colleagues.
@jpkral damn, well if your ok with being "that guy," maybe sprinkle in some push-ups and body weight squats here and there. You might look weird, but it could help
Hey he didn't mention this but if you hate the exercises that he recommended you could dance (for long periods) it doesn't even have to be good just dance thrash your body around
Yeah any cardio is good
ive been doing weeks/months of weight loss research and just now came across this video. bro really covered it all
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
I need friends....
@@otaku-chan4888don't worry man you're not the only lonely one 😭 but just keep yourself busy with something you want to do or enjoy
@@otaku-chan4888 I stopped reading after "with friends".
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 🫶🏻
This has done more advice for me than any other weight loss video I’ve seen. I’m a 19 year old woman who’s 5’10 and 234, I’m tired of being fat. I used to be with “body positivity” but it’s taken a toll on me. I’ll try intermediate fasting, wish me luck guys 💓👍🏾
Good luck! I definitely feel this and have found "body neutrality" to be a much healthier concept to adopt.
@@gudethomasJust looked that up and I wholeheartedly agree 💓💓 We got this!
Good luck!
good luck! 💖
I’m 19 as well and tryna lose some weight, it’s great you’ve started early!! Good luck and all the best 🫶🏿
Bro just described all the steps of Self-Efficacy theory for free when I had to pay a college tuition to learn about this! RUclips is a gift!
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!
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

Absolutely fantastic video. I watched it all the way without stopping. Straight to the point, concise, easy to understand. amazing work
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.
THE FACT THAT I ACTUALLY NEED THIS RN, MY BRAIN NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND IN THE SIMPLEST WAY POSSIBLE 💀
Video Idea: "Living a happy and fullfilling life, is actually easy"
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. :)
I cannot stress enough how amazingly informative this is. I already knew some info, also experienced and found few things on my own (like that hunger comes and goes, I didn’t know that before, but did start to suspect and experience it lately). So this video just solidified my suspicions, gave even more info and what’s even better - in a fun meme way. Thanks for the video. Great job!
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.
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.
"Sorry for following up the taxes video with yet another video that's only useful to people in the USA" is such a great, subtle burn.

"even tho messing up wasn't part of the plan, giving up was never part of the plan"
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).
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 last sentence in the end is the best sentence you could ever end this video with.
Your growth is stunning. You have the competitive advantage. I don't know how you did it, how you grew your channel so much in such little time.. but you are a genius my friend. I know a lot of hard work went into this. I highly admire you.
The majority is mentality and commitment. Staying loyal to the program even when you come up with so many reasons give up on it. Your end goal has to be worth more than a temporary pleasure.
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!
Also a good idea is 'disipline is easy,actually'
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
eating less is kinda like dealing with "withdrawal" symptoms(fighting through the emotions/chemicals). Its never going to be easy especially when you can't make it a top priority in your daily lives. Which is perfectly normal for most adults as surprise, with their slowing metabolism and busy schedule; makes it very challenging to do something that might be 4th in your priorities. Point being, its not a surprise why its so difficult to do especially when you're not young and have nothing better to do with your time. which is why its all the more commendable for a lot of people to achieve.
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!
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
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
This man predicted the exact time I would watch this video wtf
We are getting the mind, body and soul we want with this one✊🏾.
Bro this is amazing content 🙏 I hope we all can learn something and actually do something about it rather than endlessly scrolling the internet for answers.
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
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
you good sir has a new subscriber. This is nice. it's not over the top its just right. thank you.
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
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. 🤷♂️
The first few minutes of this video are by far the best explanation of setting and achieving goal that I've seen, whether they be fitness based or otherwise. This is the first video I've ever watched where I have felt the need to take notes to save for later. Fantastic content!
Thank you, this is incredibly helpful! I'm on day 4 and determined to keep going
The thought of "peasants" while watching people around you reach for random snacks and having zero desire to join them is very real.
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.
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
What he said about willpower is so true, I can't control myself snacking but I can control myself to not buy the snacks.
I lost 40kg in 4 months. It‘s not hard, if you wanna do it. Also stopped smoking from one day to another, and so far I‘m sober since a month now - not planning to go back anytime soon. If you REALLY wanna change your life, it‘s running on it‘s own.
The problem is that most people complain, but they‘re actually not willing to change.
Last clip man... , so relatable. Keep up the good work bro.
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
Love the video!!
I would love to see you make one for bulking, simply because of how straightforward your videos are
10 minutes later and I would have been so called out
Your channel is so good dude. The goofy looking style would make you think that it's all shitposting, but you actually do an amazing job of compiling a lot of high quality advice into a short video. Well done yet again!!
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.
I promise this is the most accurate video I’ve seen in a long time.
I see you're mastering the arts of casually explaining, looking forward to seeing more
I think the last time this guy uploaded something he was with less than 50k subs, and now is above 400k. Huge congrats dude.
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 😂
By the time this channel is a year old. we’ll already have super humans roaming the Earth with these guides
I would like to add that if you're having trouble with introducing regular exercise, try dance workouts! Doesn't matter if it's a RUclips guided workout, a round of Just Dance (most songs are on RUclips free to play), the choreography of a song (kpop is really great for this as well), an actual dance tutorial or just you dancing along to your favorite song.
It really gets your body moving, is fun and can get really exhausting after a while. A lot less frustrating than specific exercises as well, so really great for a start.
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.
Bro i was waiting for you to post and i just needed this exact vid , thx man
i like the confidence in your voice, thanks
I actually got pretty happy because in the last two years I’ve changed so dramatically and I feel amazing. Went from being pre-diabetic and almost 100pounds overweight to being able to fit into mediums. And through those two years I slowly figured out a lot of this stuff. I’m showing this video to people in the future when they ask questions, so I can just say do this. lol 😂
How did you call me out in every minute of this video???
how to never smoke again, fr
That last hit me right in the chest.
Were gonna let him call peanut butter junk food.
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
“Make it hard to eat junk food” exaclty what I’ve been doing. My husband keeps tryna buy junk food but I told him that NO if I see it, I will binge. So he hides food at his work bc i have zero self control lol. But I also think it’s fun to watch weight loss or nutritional videos so I’m constantly getting motivated. The biggest problems for me is cravings and low endurance. I try hard to just ignore it and keep pushing through but it always leads to a binge at least once a week (I beg my husband to take me out to eat and will literally start freaking out if he says no, idk what’s wrong with me, food addiction is real) BUT I’ve gotten to 120 when I was 150 before. So it’s working, just I keep “messing up”. Everything else u said on video I was already doing thankfully
This is the best weight loss/calorie informational video that exists anywhere. Literally everything I've ever learnt from meeting with professionals, summarised in 13 minutes... amazing
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
