I really wish RP were more visible to the everyday marketplace. Your teaching is solid and easy to understand. As someone who is morbidly obese and working on restructuring so many things about my life....I sincerely appreciate this fresh and less stressful approach to weight loss. I only wish I had this message 10 years ago!!!
How come someone on RUclips manages to put out so much good and well researched stuff? Can this please become the standart for most of the Bro science channels out therer?!
As someone who has lost over 100 pounds (and sadly has the same amount to go) I see a lot of value in this advice. I've done some diet breaks over the last year, but admit that at the moment I'm struggling. The good thing is that with the diet breaks I've been doing I can still maintain on a fairly high calorie level. Maybe it's time to enjoy the nice weather and worry about the rest of the loss in a little while.
I lost around 70 pounds took a break several months and maintained it down now back at it.I also been weight training all this time and got some nice newbie gains
This is so true! I've been strength training for almost three years now with goals to lose fat and gain strength. As of today I am officially down 90 pounds! Thanks JTS and RP for all the great information you post.
Thanks for the info. I started at 290 and got down to 220 over 7 months. My weight just stayed there and wouldn’t budge so I started introducing more calories back up to 3000 a day. I gained 5 lbs and have been at 225 for 8 months now. I guess I will try to lose the last 25 lbs now. I believe at 200 lbs I will be around 13-15% body fat.
This video... Amazing. Lost about 30 lbs doing Crossfit and then have hit a plateau for the last couple of months. Was kind of worried that I was doing something wrong. After watching this, though, makes me feel like I'm actually doing it right! Thanks, Mike!
That was a great video. I am crash-dieting really hard right now (269lbs (122kg) to 244lbs (111kg) in a bit less than 2 months) and while I do not have cravings, I am just really tired. I lift less and less weight, my muscle soreness doesn't go away and my mood is getting worse. I'll go another month and start trying to simply maintain when the new year begins.
Exactly what I needed to hear. Been dieting since December of 2016 at an average of 1200 calories (i'm short, and female). I lost about 18lbs (135 to 117) and then it all stopped (110 would be great). Started taking a diet break the last week and upped calories to 1500 and it is seriously fucking with my mind. After watching this, I'm going to stick it out and then pick the diet back up again later when 117 seems to want to stick, then I'll start dieting again. My body's favorite set point is 128. NO. Thanks for the video, it really helped a lot. I was just about to jump head first into starting starving today. Nope, not now. Thanks again. ~Julia
Amazing vid. Incredible value. I've struggled with this myself. All this time it never occurred to me to SLOW DOWN my weight loss for longer term success, but this definitely makes sense.
Oh thank you for explaining this so well! I have recently lost 43#'s at 1.8#/week and completely stalled. I have been maintaining for about 6 weeks and ready to start again. Pushed up my activity level and daily tracking. I appreciate your post!!
I love this. I went from 176 to 163 and I was going to hit those last 10 lbs hard, but ove lost them FAST within a month. Ima take it easy, maintenance out a bit build some strength and get myself comfortable with this weight and just build some muscle slowly instead of cutting back more. I'll cut later when I'm better developed.
Awesome video. I'm 2.5 months in to a diet and lost about 8%. I was worried about potentially tanking my metabolism and this video has made me decide that next month is a maintenance month. Great advice. Edit: they talk about a similar thing with salary bonuses. If you leave it in your account for a month, it's no long this bonus money and you're more careful about what you spend it on.
If you are going from your deficit level to your maintenance level where should you add those calories? Evenly over fat carbs and protein? I see a lot of different ratios but it seems like those should not be one size fits all and instead be based on your maintenance level.
Richard Schubert But I mean at this point pretty much everyone least knows someone that could use this video. So with that in mind, it would be good for everyone to see this video.
I went really hard for about 3.5 months lost 67 pounds in that time I then took a month off and have now started back for the last 3 weeks Ive lost 10 more in the last 3 weeks just gotta drop 20 more than its just maintence and muscle building.
I've used them and had many clients use them in the past. I honestly don't think they are long enough in many cases. I really think at least a month is better.
Mike this is great content.. I am at a stage in my long term diet where to lose more weight I will have to take out more carbs. In your opinion would it be possible to stay at my current weight for a month or so and increase carbs thus making any more weight loss easier when I go back into a calorie deficit?
but when you go for the 1 month break from the deposit, how fast do you go back to maintainance supposedly- do you reverse diet back for month? or reverse diet nack to maintainance, and THEN stay there for a month? thx hope you reply.
Can some one please tell me how to maintain weight after weight loss? Do you slowly up calories weekly u till maintainence do u ever go back to maintenance?
The 10% at one stretch part worries me a bit. I hope that doesn’t applies to weight loss following a period of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Not including the baby I put on 30 lbs with my last pregnancy and lost it after weening plus and additional ten. That’s 40 lbs in six months. I’d like to lose another ten while it’s still summer. Then do maintenance in the fall.
Personally I've found 5:2 fasting to work just as effectively at loosing weight at the same rate without having the depressed metabolism issue to compensate for or reajust for later.
What about the 2 week on and 2 week off as mention in this scientific study : www.nature.com/articles/ijo2017206 Or do you think 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off would be better? You are saying 2-3 weeks on versus 2-3 weeks off which I am concerned 2 months off would make me get too slack over that time. If 2 on and 2 off works just as good, it seems to me it would be better as I only have to focus on 2 weeks of dieting and then I can keep the momentum going with only 2 weeks at maintenance.
Re: slower metabolism after weight loss. It's significant, especially if said person has been obese. RMR for someone that's 200lb down from 260 vs 200lb natural is anywhere 15-40% less and this effect lasts up to 6 years.
Forgot to add: In addition, the trouble with losing a ton of fat at once and regaining is in addition to the loss of RMR, adipocytes multiply and don't stop growing until they've reached the size of the originals.
Dr. Mike Isratel can you do a video on the pseudo science of "functional training?" I believe there are some youtuber channels and other well known "coaches" who try to preach that stuff.
This is why I do not like when friends and family do keto or any diet that makes you shed weight like there's no tomorrow. Sure, you lost 30 pounds in 4 months, but it's not sustainable and it hurts to see them in the same boar again. Unfortunately, the general public is not at all educated on this subject and they do not understand that there's a whole psychology behind weight loss and dieting in general.
what about if you lose weight even slower than 1% a week? ive lost 25 lbs since january 4th. (From 257 to 232) which is less than a half a percent a week. i want to lost about 20 more and i dont really care how fast i do it. i feel great. hunger/cravings are pretty rare, and energy is good. any reason why i shouldnt continue? 26 year old male 6 foot
Doesn't sound like anything wrong with that. You're losing and it is stable so no need to fixate on the 1 percent as that was a maximum. I doubt there is a minimum if you are losing and that is up to you what you are comfortable and content with.
I think you should still let your metabolism reset for a month or two by going on a maintenance phase so that you reduce the chances of hitting a plateau down the road. Renaissance Periodization usually recommends 12 weeks of cutting and 1-2 months of maintaining. You can just use your current diet now (calories or macros or whatever you track) and watch your weight until there's only about +/- 5 lbs on average and maintain that for the 1- 2 months.
Fasting resets your hormonal balance and dramatically accelerates hormonal changes in your body during weight loss. These changes allow you to maintain weight loss in weeks rather than months of adjusting
What's your take on 48 hour fasts once or twice a month? HGH, autophagy etc. which can help muscles grow without horrible diets and what not...or why is 48 hours fasts bad if so.. ?
I think the metabolic adjustment idea is overblown. Most of your daily calorie expenditure is from internal organ function. The body has to use those calories to stay alive, so it can't slow down the rate of use. The reduction in metabolism comes from your body's having fewer cells to maintain, not slowing down for the sake of slowing down. In my experience, a reduction in energy only comes from an extreme caloric deficit. Such an extreme deficit is not necessary to lose weight. As stated in the video, 1-2 lbs/week is preferable. For me, that's about 1,600-1,800 kcal/day. That's not enough of a deficit to cause sluggishness, only occasional crankiness. Just my two cents.
Why? Which part of the statement is bogus? In regard to decreasing metabolism: I lost 70 lb at 1813 kcal/day over the course of a year (220 to 150 lb). I didn't have to increase my caloric deficit once. I lost another 5 lb in the three months following. That took longer because I was eating more (I didn't care as much since I'd already hit my initial goal). In regard to decreased energy: In my personal experience, I did not feel sluggish unless I consistently ate 1200 or fewer kilocalories per day. I was walking about 20-26 miles per week and running 3-9 miles per week at certain points during this. Weightlifting might be a different story though. I'll admit that running is easier/feels better on 2,000+ kcal/day, but I think he was overblowing the effect by saying he would be leaning on his elbow and barely pointing at the board.
I think the issue here is how PURELY anecdotal weight loss and dieting is for everyone. You could have someone watching this video who is 200 pounds overweight, or maybe someone like you who is 50 pounds overweight. I started at 437. I've been at this for 30 months, and have seen a few of these "settling points" over my weight loss journey. Around 345 pounds, then at 296, then again at 250, then again at 220. I was at 220 for a couple months eating 1800 calories a day, lifting 3 times a week, plus a 22 mile bike ride 1-2 times per week, right on my calories, and not losing a thing. That math doesn't add up. But I'm also an EXTREME case compared to someone like you. 30 months is one hell of a long time to be in a deficit, let alone just the mass alone to lose. There's just too many variables in dieting to say anything is right or wrong.
Wow, keep it up bro! Trust the math though; I also have gone through similar periods where weight loss has "stalled", when losing my 90lbs, but it's always been because of water weight, and if you were doing 22 mile bike rides it's a good bet that your body was fighting to retain all the water that it could. I bet if you were properly hydrated for a week you would see your weight plummet. As far as the diet "yo-yo" effect, my bet would be that's the time your body's nervous system needs to get realigned and recognize the body's new shape as its own.
Ever heard of metabolic uncoupling? when you lose weight, your cells uncouple less. This means that every movement you make is far more efficient. Your body temperature will drop from a decrease in thermic effect of food as well as less overall uncoupling. Metabolic adaptation is real.
Agree with all of this, but there is another way around it. You can fast your way to your goal and all foodaddictions disappear and your health markers will be in great shape. Might add that the fasting solution is extreamly musclesparing and a great way to get rid of some bad habits, while you are getting in shape. It takes some will power first 72 hours then it gets easier. 20 pounds in 7 days could be pretty normal result for a guy at 275 pound guy with little to much fat to carry. Good luck.
For me - speeding up my metabolism is by drinking a lot of water I have to drink up to 1.5 gallons to speed it up the day before I work out and 1 to 2 liters while working out
Dnp is the only real miracle fat loss pill. I ran 600mg a day for 12 days and lost 20lbs of pure fat and went from being a buff/kinda cut 205lbs at 5'10 to an insanely shredded veins on my v cut 185. In 12 days. Eating shit and watching TV while sitting in front of a fan all day lol

Best weight loss video I have seen in over a decade. Information is pure gold
I lost ~90lbs in 2 years in two big stretches, but I got most of my calorie deficit from cardio, not starving myself, so that kept my metabolism up.
Thanks for the info. I started at 290 and got down to 220 over 7 months. My weight just stayed there and wouldn’t budge so I started introducing more calories back up to 3000 a day.

thx for the content!
STAY HEALTHY STRONG AND FIT
This information is pure gold!!
This is an awesome video. I never thought of dieting like this. It makes so much more sense than being in a deficit month after month
The reset idea makes alot of sense.
everyone, this is the real deal...great professional advice for free....thanks mike ;)
Bas Rutten? Oh it's Dr. Mike.
I'm trying to lose weight now. great info. thanks.
I came across Juggernaut when I had femoral Glide syndrome you guys put out some great videos thank you and keep it up
Thank you. Glad they're helping you.
Dr Mike is the real shit.
Awesome video. I'm 2.5 months in to a diet and lost about 8%. I was worried about potentially tanking my metabolism and this video has made me decide that next month is a maintenance month. Great advice.
Edit: they talk about a similar thing with salary bonuses. If you leave it in your account for a month, it's no long this bonus money and you're more careful about what you spend it on.
The only video you need.
This guys speaks some truth.
Thanks for putting this info out there! I'm going to try to impliment some changes in my diet schedule.
This was simple, understandable content. Great video!
Thank you for making this video!
Great explanation Mike. Help us a lot. Thank you
Really enjoy learning with these
Thanks so much for this...great motivation today.

Can you a hypertrophy arm vid please? Great content Doc keep it coming.
Great vid, like always!
by my own experience he is indeed correct
I wish i saw this back in march 2018....went on a 6month cut....weak as shit now :( Amazing video makes so much sense
Very useful video!
Great Info!
If you are going from your deficit level to your maintenance level where should you add those calories? Evenly over fat carbs and protein? I see a lot of different ratios but it seems like those should not be one size fits all and instead be based on your maintenance level.
everybody should see the video
If your 20 pounds underweight it might not make sense.
Richard Schubert But I mean at this point pretty much everyone least knows someone that could use this video. So with that in mind, it would be good for everyone to see this video.
I went really hard for about 3.5 months lost 67 pounds in that time I then took a month off and have now started back for the last 3 weeks Ive lost 10 more in the last 3 weeks just gotta drop 20 more than its just maintence and muscle building.
What about using a two week diet break in between active diet periods?
I've used them and had many clients use them in the past. I honestly don't think they are long enough in many cases. I really think at least a month is better.
Mike this is great content.. I am at a stage in my long term diet where to lose more weight I will have to take out more carbs.

Great stuff🙌🙌🙏
Hi mike,is there a way to revert i lost 25 kg in 5 months now I'm pretty miserable only lean bc of my strong mentality
This was amazing. Thanks doc
but when you go for the 1 month break from the deposit, how fast do you go back to maintainance supposedly- do you reverse diet back for month? or reverse diet nack to maintainance, and THEN stay there for a month? thx hope you reply.
Can some one please tell me how to maintain weight after weight loss? Do you slowly up calories weekly u till maintainence do u ever go back to maintenance?
can you do a video similar to this about bulking??
I need a coming off anadrol video

Yes, pregnancy would be an extenuating circumstance beyond the scope of what we are discussing here.
Juggernaut Training Systems thanks for your response! That’s great news. I’d really like to lose another 7-10 lbs before doing maintenance.
Personally I've found 5:2 fasting to work just as effectively at loosing weight at the same rate without having the depressed metabolism issue to compensate for or reajust for later.
Thanks dr Mike
Do these rules apply for minicuts since it is on a shorter timeline?
GOLDEN.
Excellent
What about the 2 week on and 2 week off as mention in this scientific study : www.nature.com/articles/ijo2017206
Or do you think 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off would be better? You are saying 2-3 weeks on versus 2-3 weeks off which I am concerned 2 months off would make me get too slack over that time. If 2 on and 2 off works just as good, it seems to me it would be better as I only have to focus on 2 weeks of dieting and then I can keep the momentum going with only 2 weeks at maintenance.

Re: slower metabolism after weight loss.
It's significant, especially if said person has been obese. RMR for someone that's 200lb down from 260 vs 200lb natural is anywhere 15-40% less and this effect lasts up to 6 years.
Forgot to add:
In addition, the trouble with losing a ton of fat at once and regaining is in addition to the loss of RMR, adipocytes multiply and don't stop growing until they've reached the size of the originals.
Preach!!!
Dr. Mike Isratel can you do a video on the pseudo science of "functional training?" I believe there are some youtuber channels and other well known "coaches" who try to preach that stuff.
This is why I do not like when friends and family do keto or any diet that makes you shed weight like there's no tomorrow.

Doesn't sound like anything wrong with that. You're losing and it is stable so no need to fixate on the 1 percent as that was a maximum. I doubt there is a minimum if you are losing and that is up to you what you are comfortable and content with.

Hey! Magic IS happening during Christmas!
Are you talking about low cal dieting or fasting?
Good negative cal diet done properly = no cravings ... Energy is not effected to much and cheat meals helps metabolism.

Progressive maintainable weight loss
10% of bw for someone who is like 160lbs like me is actually quite alot.
but i want to lose all the weights now Dr Mike!!!!!!!! jk, great advice

Totally agree. It's a shame that a ton of people are just straight up unaware of the power of fasting.
For me - speeding up my metabolism is by drinking a lot of water I have to drink up to 1.5 gallons to speed it up the day before I work out and 1 to 2 liters while working out
Drinking water does not affect your metabolism at all.
that 300lbs example wasnt really great, obese individual can cut 30lbs per month EASY
flexible dieting. problem solved
Its not..
Isn’t this just embracing the idea of a plateau?
I prefer to lose weight all at once none of this slow stuff... I cannot stand to see slow fat loss I feel so lazy then and no motivation at all
Dnp is the only real miracle fat loss pill. I ran 600mg a day for 12 days and lost 20lbs of pure fat and went from being a buff/kinda cut 205lbs at 5'10 to an insanely shredded veins on my v cut 185. In 12 days. Eating shit and watching TV while sitting in front of a fan all day lol
