      So which is it?

      No the message was for those who do not take supplements with a serious life style based around becoming a better version of themselves. If you dont watch what you eat but you take protein twice a day and skip all the other regular healthy life options it wont mean jack shit to your evolution. Keep paying attention to your Jody and reflect on what happens when you do certain things. Find your rhythm and make better choices and you'll find your entire mind and body become what you always dreamt of. Nothing worthwhile is easy :)

    I am 35 years old and 5'8", and I went from 219 lbs to 145 lbs in about 7 months WITHOUT working out OR lifting weights. I stopped eating refined sugar (no soda, no candy), I drank only water, I cut out gluten (breads), and I ate healthy fats like coconut oil, avocados, and nuts. In addition, I stopped eating until I was stuffed. I prepared healthy portions and did not go for seconds on most of my meals. I allowed a cheat meal once or twice every 2 weeks where I'd eat whatever the fuck I wanted. It is truly that simple, and it becomes progressively easier as the weeks go by. Your body will start to hunger for healthy food and you will naturally want to eat healthy! At this point it's been 10 months, I hover around 142 lbs, I eat pescatarian except on cheat meals if I feel like it, and I'm very lean. My cheat meals are usually fish, chicken, salad, veggies & fruit at the buffet. That's actually what my body craves now--I don't even feel like eating sugar anymore because when I eat sugar I feel fucking terrible. Sugar makes you feel like shit when you eat it excessively. You don't realize it when you're overweight because you've forgotten what it feels like to be healthy. Being healthy feels fucking rad. Eat healthy and you will physically feel FUCKING RAD all of the time.

    People fail to lose weight and get discouraged because they don't take time to learn the basics and keep it simple. Imagine if people did this for their first year :
    3 Months : Walk 10hrs a week. Start making gradual nutrition changes.
    Next 6 Months : Keep up regular walking and add in basic bodyweight exercises 2-3x per week. Start tweaking and eventually fine tune macros/cals.
    Final 3 Months : Keep up regular walking and if bodyweight can be done with no assistance/modification, basic lifting plan 3x per week. Also finalized nutrition plan.
    If you kept it simple and used patience/consistency like this for the first year, you'd easily be able to transition into more intense training and specialized goals. But people just want to latch onto fitness trends and get instant gratification.

    Jeff is awesome. Whereas most supplement companies and RUclips “experts” want try to sell to the 35-40 percent body fat, Jeff wants you to get yourself into the sub 20 percent range before even considering his products. This is the mark or someone who really cares about his clients and their results!! I’m proud to say I’ve been following this channel for over 2 years now and went down to about 10!perceny body fat from roughly 38 percent. It’s been a long journey and I’m enjoying the dig, the torture, because my inspiration is Jeff. I know to look like him takes a long time, but it’s exciting when you get lower in body fat and keep seeing new areas of your muscles pop. That is what inspires me to keep digging.

    @theAbaddon_ 6 лет назад +22

    This is so true. I was 275lbs (all fat) not giving a rats ass what I consumed... Drinking a case of soda a day, fast food and garbage. I also had really bad knee and ankle injuries keeping me from doing too much physical activity... I began by cutting the soda, started losing some weight, started eating less fast food, lost more weight. I dropped to 230 without any exercise easy. It then started getting easier to make healthier choices like taking the stairs instead of elevators, or walking instead of taking the subway and weight training. I now have a pretty solid diet, 190 lbs and building some lean muscle. The journey has been great so far and it's only just begun.

      @@cactusmalone my knee is generally alright for the most part.. I protect it when squatting and whatnot. It only really gives me problems after kickboxing or running. My ankle is a whole different story.. That thing has 15 screws and a long plate up the side (unfortunate mosh pit incident) This really messes with my range of motion, it hurts far less after losing weight, but still aches daily and if I work it too hard it swells.

  • @evansaber7642

    This is seriously great advise. I think the best thing he touched on is consistency and our expectations on ourselves. It’s easy to start something, and think that you will be perfect, but then when that honeymoon phase is over, it’s easier to give in and make a mistake. You need to know that you will not be perfect in the journey. You just need to keep going even when you slip, keep going. That’s all

    this is such a great video! Just what i need to focus my efforts so i can go from 32.4% body fat back to 25 where i was 4 years ago, and then ideally focus on the dream 20%. Thank you! I also really like your channel because it talks about facts and the logical reasons why a 5 minute HIT workout won't burn much fat in a day but it will add up over the longer, and that it may not be most relevant at 30% body fat. And when you say guys I never think you just mean boys, definitely feels like you are talking to anyone, regardless of gender. excellent!

    Very well explained. That helps 95 percent of the people I guess. What's most difficult is not changing your lifestyle but not seeing any result even after two months intense training as in my case. powerful tips I found are drinking less water, (less than 1.5l) skipping breakfast (changing it with just a big cup of tea) and eating more lentils and bean, and trying a vegan diet for two months. now I am getting rid of fat and I see improvement every week which makes me more determined to continue

    • @thestratilosopher42
      @thestratilosopher42 6 лет назад +14

      Look up your blood type diet. It probably just aligns with that a bit too. I wouldn't agree with the drinking less water part. That is crucial. Less water just means as you dehydrate, your body will have less water in storage to use for essential functions which will make you look smaller and lose water weight, but not the right kind of weight.

    July 10th of last year, I was 6'4" 250 lbs and 32.7% body fat. Now I'm 205.4 with 25.2% body fat.
    How much body fat % can you reasonable lose a week, if you're say hitting your workouts and nutrition spot on during that 80/20 time? I'm spot on with my nutrition and I only eat out a couple times a week at the very most.
    Thanks, Jeff!

You can't start out eating perfectly and cutting out all of your bad foods because you'll just end up snapping and eating junk in surplus again. You have to slowly phase out your bad habits.
