- If you’ve been trying to lose body fat but haven’t been successful despite following all the good advice on fat loss that you can get a hold of, this video is for you. In this video, I’m going to show you how good advice at the wrong time can become bad advice. If you are not losing fat as fast as you would like to, likely it is because you aren’t focusing on the right things.

To start, it helps to define certain levels of body fat so that we are all on the same page. If you are greater than 30 percent body fat, your number one culprit is and always will be your nutrition. It is not about the amount of cardio that you are doing or whether or not that cardio workout is being done in a fasted state or not. Given the fact that cardio doesn’t really burn that many calories at the end of the day and that a day full of bad eating can quickly eclipse what you burned in your training, it just isn’t a good idea to focus your efforts there.
This is the problem however, and it is repeated frequently almost every day. People will read a tip on fat loss and think that it is the best place to focus their attention as they try to lose weight and drop body fat. For instance, you have likely heard that carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes are better for you than white rice or other less complex carbohydrates. That said, if your body fat is in the over thirty percent range however, it isn’t likely that you are struggling to choose between these two options. Instead, you are likely eating french fries.
The same can be said for supplements for fat loss. People have been conditioned to think that supplements are the be all and end all, a savior for those wanting to eat better. The problem with this thinking is however that once the money runs out and you can no longer afford to purchase supplements every month then what habits have you learned to eat better? Likely none. Here again you are going to be setting yourself up for failure in the long run.
I always preach how workout consistency and consistency with your healthy eating is crucial for seeing long term results. The key to this statement however is that this operates on a sliding scale. Your ability to lose fat and drop down from the over 30 range to in the 20’s and teens is going to require that you only get it right 60 percent of the time. Instead of focusing on perfection (which is nearly impossible especially for those in bad shape to start), you need to focus on what can be achieved and be inspired by the changes that occur as you make those more consistently right decisions.
From here, you should start to get encouraged as you watch your body fat levels drop. Each new milestone becomes a new threshold for improvement and the changes that are required to get there. So, the advice that you were given to focus more on sweet potatoes over white rice may actually become good advice again since it will be delivered to you at the time that it actually matters. This and fasted cardio start to become relevant whereas they were not going to be able to make a difference at higher levels of body fat.
The key to losing weight and body fat is to follow a series of achievable goals. The ATHLEAN-X Training Systems take what others make complicated and deliver it to you in a step by step, easy to follow format. Never guess again on how to start losing body fat and get ripped, instead start doing what needs to be done to get there. Don’t set yourself up for failure by setting the wrong goals. Let me show you how to do it all at athleanx.com with any of the programs that are best suited to your goals.

But..but.... checkers fries are so gd good. 😭
Fasted cardio?… but didn't you say in another video to never do this? You explained that this puts stress on the body, that it goes into starvation mode & begins to deplete muscle?
So which is it?
Do a video on how to reduce the size of thighs and buttocks..my lower body is bigger than my upper...pls do a video on sir..
Love from India
Do you have any videos about what types of protein are good or if they're a waste? I have one with carbs in and i feel like I should have a no carb protein shake. Keep up the good work!
Jeff, Sadly most people want the results now and with very limited effort! It is tough sometimes and results can take some time, but stick with it and the outcome is a fitter healthier you.......priceless!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍
You know this is a good fitness channel when he says not to buy his supplements to fix yourself.
Right!
Yup
GO KINGS!

I went from 40% to less than 20%. I am consistent, but it's not easier... I am still holding on and being consistent... I am almost 47 and it takes all the will power that I have. Setting example to my children so I CAN NOT fail!

Your efforts will not be overlooked, it is truly inspiring, hope you keep up
its harder and harder to lose body fat as you get lower... from 20% to 10% is hard af
Yee. Hard work pays back. Keep cooking.
ShaBer that's great, good work I've been staying around 22-23% bf and would be happy to get to 19-20%.
"If you think supplements are going to help you, even MY supplements, forget it!" I'm sorry wait, did he just tell people correct information at his own expense?
Truth hurts!
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 :)
James Estrada yes! Valuable advice for anyone who is looking to progress. Not just in nutrition or training, but in every area of life. Every single person is unique and different. What works for one might not work for another. We need to stop comparing ourselves and get in tune with what works for us.
@@marisajane7229 yes girl yes
yes, very honest!!
I fucking love this channel so much. It's always 0% bullshit, never feel like I'm wasting my time watching.
mirrormimi Jeff knows what he is talking about
Not always 0% bullshit. Jeff's (specific and rare) food advice is a good 75% bullshit. Otherwise, it's a good channel and certainly the muscle development tips are spot on.
jeffs food advide is perfect! stfu!!
Can you specify the type of bullshit at his food advices?
Don't swear
Jeff is so unfamiliar with French fries that he doesn’t even know how to pronounce it right.
Yeahbutstilll that's a good thing, he's on a good nutrition plan.
I was thinking the same thing. 🤣
french FRIES??
I noticed that too 😂😂😂😂😂
"Ignore the menutia"
Love watching Jeff tell it like it is.
I can lose the weight, but can’t ever seem to lose the fat, but in the end, wind up starving myself and just falling back into the bad stuff while exercising.
The reason why I'm fat is so obvious, always when I go to Cluckin Bell, I order two number 9's, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Are you trying to tell me I can't eat 6000 calories a day and get shredded in the process?! Blasphemy!
You could as long as you worked out 10 hours a day of constant movement. Then you could show your WoD times. Crossdeath lol

I always said 80% diet, 10% training, and 10% rest to grow and recover from your workouts.
I thought I clicked the wrong video when I saw Jeff with a shirt on. 😂
You just told me i'm fucking lazy and need to get off my ass... thanks Jeff.

This video has really helped down from 260 to 225. I watch this and a couple of your other videos regularly to keep motivated
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.
Zatta I second that. Used to experience it but it stopped since.. the munchies were kicking in daily. (too much weed :^) Found out its easy to lose control in this path once starting to eat lots of sweets, but im going back in, wish me luck i guess
Zatta first off nice work man! I'm also trying to change my lifestyle in such a big manner but I'm somewhat younger with my 24 years. So I'm asking for some wisdom and help. I have problems when it comes to sleep any tips? I want to sleep earlier so that my body craves sugat etc less. If you got this I'm more than willing to listen!
Sir Creep I also used to smoke a lot of weed. Stopped afted I noticed it didn't help with my concentration. I first switched them with sigarettes and than the sigarettes with chewing gum. Haven't been high in 4 months and haven't touched a sigaret in 3 weeks!
Joël Meivogel Well great to Hear that, Though. Its easy to get out of concept, but i didnt say it would be difficult to get back in 👀
Zatta k
I'm working out once a month and eating all kinds of unhealthy food..i really dont know why i'm still fat😕💪
James Bond you should try working out 2 times a month
James Bond probably because you're eating unhealthy foods?
James Bond You're obviously overtraining try working out once a year
James Bond try eating more junk food that helped me :)
Yuno Gasai I'd say 3
Jeff trying hard not to laugh at his cinnamon toast crunch punchline. 😂
1:28 "What's happening here is that you're not choosing either! You're choosing FRENCH FRIES....which is keeping you up in this range." #Savage
HOW DOES HE KNOW!?????? #sorcery
Lmao I started laughing! He put the emphasis in fries!
Robert Ragland savage but 100% true! No bullshit! If you’re fat then it’s your responsibility! Eat less (balanced, simple healthy) move more! Make small lifestyle changes, and make them stick! It’s not rocket science.
What about Freedom Fries 😂😂😂
Jeff droppin hard facts. Some people just really need to hear it and no one will say it to their face because, well it always comes off as mean or passive aggressive.
My bodyfatpercentage is on 11% but i'm still watching because you can always learn from jeff!
"Perfect is the enemy of the good." This is so relatable to my life. Never heard it put that way. That will stick with me forever. Thanks.
Ya kinda applies to people too. People trying to be perfect are usually mean
true
Update - I was right. I said this phrase in a conversation with my friend just last week. Thanks again.
I like how Jeff says French fries. He makes them sound exotic
I usually run down the steps or up the steps to my kitchen. Then I reward myself with a double bacon cheese burger and fries, with a diet Dew.
good start with the diet soda
get rid of the bun,fries and drink water instead.
Diet sodas have more artificial flavoring than the regular sugar, which is even worse.
jim d Diet sodas habe aspartame. They're not the one you want.
$7.99 large 3 topping pizza from dominos is why I am fat
2 topping medium pizza and marble brownie for 5.99 each is my poison
I eat 10 integral pizzas each day and I'm 5% body fat.
2 for 3 at McDonald's
2 whoppers for $6 at BK, or rather the 2 cheeseburgers, fries, and a drink for $3.49
$5 box from Taco Bell
Half priced burgers at Sonic on Tuesday nights
$5 big bag at hardees
4 for 4 at Wendy's
4 for 3 at Checkers
There's a lot of good deals out there to get the most for your buck on a budget. They're just not healthy...
That's a good price tho.
Refined sugar is worse.
"Perfect is the enemy of the good" is such a relatable statement for me, always setting too ambitious goals only to fail them and then lose motivation to succeed even less ambitious goals
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.
I'm trying not to laugh- Cinnamon Toast Crunch. love the honesty!
Cliff Brower hahaha yeah well I'm getting my cinnamon
Lol the Cinnamon Toast Crunch had me going to!
Get rid of all sugar containing products, the pounds will fall off!
Jeff ... i needed this. Btw....my problem is not french fries. It's B-E-E-R.
i feel you bro
Jason Crismore u switched to light beer, but only once or twice a week. It's lame, but it works
hiphophead555 you mean no carbs right?
Drink liquor.
I can't tell if you are joking or not.
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.

@@afyaabrafi5433 same lol
Yo someone @AmberlynReid this cmnt and WHOLE video so she can get off that stupid Octavia trend
You are right but I politely disagree. Maybe don’t go for instant weight loss (and expect it) but my own journey has taught me to progress with exercises not just regular cardio which basically does nothing and bores people.
@@prihaps lol I thought the same thing!
i watched one punch man 7 months ago and it inspired me to go to the gym. ever since then i workout intensely 6-7x a week.
whatever gets you going lol
You're ruining your body and mind and probably not seeing results, you have to let your body rebuild the broken muscle fibers.
If you train intensely everyday you won't see shit happen.
Just do 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run 10 KM a day :)
@@tripaloski_6971
Training almost every day is feasible if you lower volume. Plenty of people do full body workouts every day.
@@MelficeN7 He said "intensely 6/7 times a week"
@@tripaloski_6971 We don't know his workout regiment. He could be doing a push/pull/leg-core/rest cycle with a day of cardio thrown in. That would be 6 days a week and you would only be really hitting everything twice a week.
Very true, unfortunately my parents are like that when they try to loose weight once in a while lol
Since i started my journey with Athlean X, ive lost 20lbs in 3 months. Man i feel great. Im focusing all my energy in my nutrition and ive had surgery, so im dead locked focused.
Thanks for these information that Jeff C gives us. Take care of yourself guys.
Congrats! My goal right now is to work up to being able to do 10 push ups so I can qualify to do a program. XD
what about now?
How tou looking now son?
I love your videos, thank you! I’m down 42lbs so far hitting the gym, eating better and utilizing techniques from your channel and other sources.
This video is SO true! Eating better is 100% the first and most important step.
The 4 word weight loss program: Move more. Eat less.
Perfect is enemy of the 'good'... That is for me
@1:20 is hilarious... "it's not white rice or brown rice that's keeping you here... its French fries" 😂
Perry Ellis alcohol? That's usually a huge problem or maybe just a ton of calories with food that isn't that bad for you
Jeff, I love the videos, great information. I'm in Afghanistan and working out everyday. The videos are spot on with the science. Thanks for the videos, I've lost 28 lbs so far and climbing. Keep up the great work.
What are you doing in Afghanistan?
can we get advice for around 15% body fat who are aiming for 10%
Don Sandoval Same here
Don Sandoval cut out processed sugar and fatty foods and it should lower naturally
Cutting out processed food that are greasy,sweet, etc. Personally, fasted workouts have been working ok.
Definitely Not Kenny solid advice, all you have to do is cut out process and fast food and ofc sugars if you don't like working out and want to cut just avoid those foods and your body fat will lower cardio if you want to shred last bit.
Don Sandoval bump
I felt personally attacked when he said Cinnamon Toast Crunch 😆👌
Bro i was thinking of eating 2 bowl of it tomorrow🤣🤣🤣
Wake up people Fix your nutrition
Christopher Cirocco I wouldn't be able to read this comment if I weren't awake, also how can I hear you when comments don't make sounds? I don't think you thought this through
yes I'm being retarded on purpose, I'm just making fun if how the phrase "wake up people" is used ALOT nowadays
DoHickey lmfao 😂👏
I’ve been eating right for over 8 months and I haven’t lost fat
Great video!!!
Edward Kenway because u aren’t eating right
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.
That one was good advice. Although i am stuck at the 15-18% bodyfat and sometimes i wish there would be more tips to burst out of that plateau.
Kupoking Red'Ak patience that last stubborn fat is the last to go.
carlosRules 45 really ?
Get involved in an actual sport that you enjoy. Those extra hours spent in that activity will do the job.
go on a full ketogenic diet problem solved
You may be lower bodyfat in reality, but retaining a fuckload of water. Hit the sauna for an hour, quit creatine, lower sodium intake, etc get rid of water weight. It is usually the problem
LMAO. He was so mad when he said "Guys, it's the french fries" 🤣👉
I love this guys channel. Very honest. And scientific
Jeff’s 60/40, 80/20, 70/30. Truth. It seeks so simple but perfection is the enemy of progress. That is quite the intelligent statement. Give our best rather then quitting because i’m not Perfect. Jeff is so good at explaining good and bad advice. Giving inspiration and clarity. This is how he reached 9 million followers. 350 some million people in the US at 9.3 million followers. Jeff is the most qualified and has the gift of explanation.

Thank you Jeff.. I’m walking around 240 lbs 33% body fat the heaviest I’ve been in my entire life not understanding why I’ve struggled so much the last two years to lose fat.. this is exactly what I needed to be educated on. Thank you!
There is also a problem watch what you eat and how much you eat you can be eating right but you could also eating 5 servings rather than the correct serving

Amen.

lol try 10 or more and changing what you eat is far easier then chaning how much or how you eat
I am thinking of doing Jeff's tutorial reps as the total no. of my followers and then posting it!
Love this video, Jeff. I am a nutrition student and I have always held the view we should be coaching people to be more mindful of what, and more importantly how much, food they are eating regardless of what it is before they try anything else. Adherence is the key.

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
Right on Jeff, basically: sugar and bad fats (canola/soy) are addictive and need to be eliminated. Which is really difficult in the West.
Like this if Jeff should drop a diss track on six pack shortcuts 😂😂😂
I would laugh my ass off if he did that

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!
Just have to thank you dude! I've never seen such a knowledgeable and unbiased fitness/nutritional trainer. You cut right to the point in each video. You don't sugarcoat anything. You throw what has to be done, right out there! You're one of, if not, the best instructor on RUclips. Your advice is very helpful and inspiring! You've helped me perceive why my diets are failing and what I have to do to get things done. Thank you!
The amazing thing is that he's really honest, Hes not advertising his product, hes not marketing a 30 day routine, he's trying to help us all improve our lifestyle! I'm a 17 year old guy, 6 foot, I'm skinny fat, more fat less skinny.. I'm just starting down my body transformation, you're stuff is amazing I'll implement your advice into my life the best I can, and I'll let you know how it goes, you're amazing Jeff, you've changed a lot of lives.. Keep up the good work !!:)
I can't lose my fat please HELP ME !!! ( I'm Tired Of All of My Marker Friends Being More Fit Then Me)
Jeff Cavaliere's Marker Lol
Jeff Cavaliere's Marker dude just be in a calorie deficit and you will lose overall body weight it's not that hard losing weight is easy building muscle is harder just eat less avoid sugar and fast food and you will be good.
Stay in a calorie deficit stay away from sugar get your carbs from greens and vegtables lift some weights before doing cardio to get the best lean gains and keep your skin toned so it wont be as loose once the weight comes off. Ive lost 119 pounds since February doing this 54 size jeans starting and today a size 44
Get fat friends and tell them to fight you for your lunch.

As someone who lost more than 60 pounds of weight, my mentality is "Eating healty to be leaner and training to be stronger", this video is absolutely spot on.
Facts. You could do all the weight lifting & cardio in the world but if you're not eating well you won't lose shit
I've been slacking and making the same errors again. This video just happened to pop on my recommendations. Good wake up call. I had seen this video when I first started my change 5months ago. Helped then and helping now.
It's funny. I was lifting heavily for almost a month, but I wasn't watching my carbs. At the end, I was definitely bigger, but I was also puffy.
"The damage that you do by not paying attention to what you are putting in your mouth" - Jeff Cavaliere, Athlean-X (2017)
Your sliding scale with the 60/40, 70/30, etc is exactly what we need to hear. Getting into shape and getting lean is all about your level of consistency of making the right eating decisions.
...And pointing out that the goal of perfection (aka 100/0) is not a realistic or even helpful goal... Thanks Jeff.
I fucking love this guy. I struggle with eating sugar. It is like an addiction. Chocolate, simple carbs. I feel like I physically crave it. It changes my mood, when I don't have it I get frustrated easy, when I do have it, I get stupid, and eventually feel like crap.
I loved to 60/40 breakdown. This guy really does a great job.
Hey man. Youve helped me a lot when no one could. Thx for every advice you gave us and i rly love your videos! I used to be 107 kg and im 16 yo. After 9 months i am 88.6kg and i can almost see my abs. 💗💗💗💗💗
Jeff! You inspire me every day to smash my gym sessions. Thank you so much brother! You are a true inspiration!!
"Good advice at the wrong time becomes bad advice". Those words are worth a million bucks.
Preach! Appreciate you speaking the truth. My weakness is sugar and not being consistent.
I am just waiting for Jesse's epic transformation.
Hazel nut coffee was a life saver, black no sugar 3 cups a day keeps my sugar, and food cravings low and just eat my regular meals.
Gotta find away to substitute the bad choices in life with something that is albeit not perfect but certainly better than pounding down a box of donut holes every other day.
the second you speak, is the moment that you make sense!!! love this channel
I love how comprehensively and practically this is explained . i appreciate this so much.
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
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.
I love ur honesty jeff... keep up the great work
"Perfect is the enemy of the good." Holy shit that is easily in the top 5 of best advice ive ever heard. That is mind opening
Matthew M Thats philosophy.
Amen. He told it like it is. The truth hurts sometimes, but it can set you free.
I always end up going back to Jeff's videos.
deeply inspired man thank you!
One of the best, honest video's I have seen on youtube. Very honest and great advice.
I was over 200 pounds looking up vids like this and now im 140 7 months later thank you jeff
Im not losing fat cuz Im staying on my ass whole day
like if you too
Best video ever, great advise, "Perfect is the enemy of good"
That says it all.
Just discovered your videos and intend to use them to help me impress upon my son the value of good nutrition versus simply working out and praying for the best. I do preach that to him, but I think it will leave more of an impact on him if he sees it from someone with some credibility. Thanks, and keep up the good work!!
black coffee - cut the milk / cream humus - use instead of mayo wraps (sprouted grain best) - no bread avocado - instead of cheese hot sauce - season with no calories
**Eating McDonald's intensifies **
Fatass
2 dbl. Cheeseburgers no unions, large fries, and a vanilla ice cream cone is how to bulk
You forgot to make it all into a smoothie, add a scoop of mutant mass gainer, and a protien powder.
*Eats McDonalds peacefully* ... watches ATHLEAN-X video ... *Eats Mcdonalds stressfully*
quief latifa lmao
I lost it when you said, "I'm just going to eat my Cinnamon Toast Crunch!" Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
Jeff I really want to thank you. I am not on one of your programs, but I've been listening to recommendations from you and making changes in my life. You gave me the tools and direction to reach my goals and since March (2017) I've dropped 36 pounds. You keep it real and I think that's why I finally understand what I needed to do to make a change. Again thank you for the great information you put out there. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Jeff. I've been slowly but surely making better choices to lose weight.
My friends keep asking me for advice for eating and stuff and I tell them basically exactly what you said. 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.
Thanks for being one of the few people on fitness RUclips that has actual good advice
