I'm down 130+ lbs. I lost it in about a year and been just focusing on building muscle this past year. I'm at 3200 calories to maintain. I'm trying to become a trainer to help others do what I did.

That’s super inspiring! Just curious as I’m in the process of trying to lose that kind of weight as well, did you focus on building strength and muscle first? Would the strategy of cutting big weight first while following a basic resistance program and then focusing on muscle building be reasonable too?

Man I wish they would have did this a year ago. I have been fortunate enough to lose ~45 pounds in 2021 and ~65 pounds in the last 18 months. Keys for me: 1) consistency in diet, keeping track of calorie intake and protein intake, 2) daily exercise (figure 75% lifting / 25% cardio), 3) enjoying life a bit along the way…keeps it consistent. You have to enjoy the process and let the little decisions compound over time.

I’m at 30 for 2021 myself. Got off the keto chain after I plateaued at 10 lbs, found these guys and the other 20 came off really easy. On a maintenance kick until 2022 and I switched to a 3 day full body split, shooting for 25 lbs in 2022. I was am always going to make Halloween to New Years my maintenance and lighten up time.

My step 11 - find an activity/hobby you love and will do for years. People can lose weight by working out, but cannot assume, like you said, that folks will want or be able to workout like you did for years. But if you find an activity/hobby that you love and require you to practice & develop skill, like Jujitsu, climbing, road biking, boxing, surfing, woodworking - that will keep you from going back to sedimentary life and give you a passion, a thing you do and love and will get you up and keep you up

I watch KZread often and never comment on videos, but this one is too important not to. I’m getting married next month to a wonderful woman who has struggled for years with her weight. I was raised in a health-mindful home, I’m very into fitness, and have learned so much from MindPump the past few months. My fiancée wants me to help her on her fitness journey and I want to do so, but I’m struggling with how to get her on the right path as someone who has never been in her position. I hope and pray this comment is good enough to win the MAPS Starter program because it would mean so much to us and help us greatly along with the tips in this video. Thank you for all that y’all do, MindPump. God bless you & Merry Christmas!

I dropped from 370 to 240 while also gaining ~30 lbs of muscle. For me, it worked best when I went 3 months balls to the wall and then 2 months grinding in new maintenance. I can mentally handle 3 months of hell a lot better than a year of moderate deficit.

I lost 150lbs on Keto/Carnivore. I use IF & OMAD. It took me about 2 years to go from 321lbs to 170lbs at 5’11” And I am a 61 year old male. I did some resistance training, but nothing crazy. I make 99% of my meals from scratch. I don’t eat any store bought Keto processed food crap.

First off, I'm not trying to win the contest; I already have MAPS Starter as well as the Prime Bundle. I just wanted to thank you guys for focusing on this subject, this is the podcast I really needed. At 41 years old, obese (about 40 pounds overweight), and not having "worked out" since PE class in school, this is basically where I am physically. I have already begun incorporating many of the steps you listed on my own and I wish I could articulate how important it was for me to hear that these steps I've taken were the right ones to help me not only reach my fitness goals but to sustain them long term. "Focus on strength, not the scale!" ~This has been everything to me! I may not lose weight super fast, but by focusing on strength I FEEL better than I have in years and I know the weight loss will follow in due time. This has made all the difference to me. I'm not sure where I'm going to go once I've completed the Starter program. I've looked at the other programs you offer and Anabolic appears to be where I'd want to go in terms of my preferred programming, but I'm not psychologically ready to walk into a gym for barbell access. I really want to focus on building my skill in the foundational strength exercises in Anabolic, I just wish I could do it from home with my dumbbells. lol!

My senior year of high school I was able to drop from 280 lbs to 240 in 4 months. I was able to do this because I was wrestling every day and resistance training outside of practice. I wasn’t trying to lose weight because I was wrestling heavyweight. I was eating over 5000 calories a day and was still loosing weight. After wrestling my goal was to gain weight back and gain it back with muscle because I was going to play football at a university. At the beginning of my freshman summer camp I weighed 260lbs. My coaches kept telling me I need to gain more weight and keep eating more. After freshman year I was 275. Sophomore year 285. Junior year 295. I maintained being 295 throughout summer camp and the football season. Now that I know this is my last season playing football I want to lose this weight again. I was 31 percent body fat the beginning of the season and I’m now down to 285 lbs. My only goal is to lose body fat and maintain muscle. This is a hard goal and I know it will take time. It is going to be different for me to lose weight and resistance train while not playing sports anymore. My physical activity will come from being in the gym and not on the field. I want to keep my lifting numbers and continue to build muscle. I squat 575 and bench 365. If you guys have any other recommendations outside of this video for me that would help me a lot. Im going to be graduating from my college after this winter semester with a bachelor in exercise science. I have learned a lot and I’m excited to apply what I have learned to my own fitness journey.

Didn't lose quite that much, but did lose 75 pounds in 15 months. Hoping to start working on a new goal now. Thanks for the video guys!

I still have motivation after 6 months of working out and while the progress is slow, listening to your podcast and many others from your guest interviews keeps me going even more. The knowledge you provide, explanations, and caller questions in your podcast is a great way to stay the course and enjoy the journey! I am so thankful to finally seeing awesome results and knowing that I can do this for a lifetime and not to see a certain number on a scale.

I lost 100+ pounds (in 5 months) a few years ago and I can't tell you how important it is to have a game plan for when you get it off. I yo-yo'd up and down since, and struggled, but finally, I've realized that your goals need to be short term and long term to keep the weight off. It's as hard, if not harder mentally, once the weight is off, to realize what's next.

OMG! You totally spoke to my SOUL! I’ve lost 100 lbs & have kept most of it off. It took a cpl yrs, a lot of small changes & some tears. I’m healthier & stronger & grateful for the people in my journey. I still struggle with nutrition the most because I do well & then will falter. I also had a breast reduction June 2020 & gained 20 lbs back. I just got my upper body strength back a few weeks ago. I’m hopeful this podcast will continue to remind me of how far I have come & to keep being patient & disciplined with my training & nutrition. Thank you for all you do!

42 years old and been obese since childhood, I'm 6 feet tall and so far I've lost 68lb since march 22nd 2021. Started at 310lb, 184lb lean and 40% body fat. I stumbled round in the dark for a while & made the mistake of following my Fitbit to work out my calories till I heard a recent episode ☹️ so glad I discovered you guys. The podcast is now like my bible, still got a way to go: currently 168lb lean, 70lb fat and 29.8% body fat. Not slamming the cardio, lifting as consistently as I can and reminding myself it's a marathon not a sprint. Not got an ideal scale weight my plan is to get to the lean mass I had when I was 310lb and 15% body fat so I can thank & apologise to the guy underneath for lugging all that extra weight round. Would never have got this far without you guys, thanking you just isn't enough 😁

@@TheStuckNorris I'm down about 90 lbs since last year. Having done some pretty intense research and speaking through experience, here's what I've learned: a lot of it depends on your own genetics, how old you are, and how long you've been overweight. If your parents seem to have good, elastic skin you've got some ideal genes for this. If you're young and heavy, your skin will have more elasticity than an older person that's been heavy for years. That being said, the second part to this is what you put in your body. You really are what you eat since your skin replenishes itself off that sustinence. If you're eating great, real food that's not processed your skin will have an advantage. As we get older, our bodies stop producing collagen. We need to add that back into our diet. Thrive Market has a great supplement along with Isopure. Use, use, use lotion! And exfoliate your skin once a week (there are great sugar scrubs available). Also drink tons of water with minerals and electrolytes (and salt if you're on keto) Good luck!

Was binging through old episodes and cant believe i missed the Story of Doug episode (Ep 1425). It was a really fun one if anyone havent watched yet

I am not one to share my story in a public (mostly because I’m scared to jinx myself)…I lost over 80lbs about 10 years ago and have kept it off. I was always a heavy person and tried every diet under the sun before I graduated high school. I was a very active kid (playing varsity football and other sports in high school) and started lifting when I was in 7th grade but was still overweight. After undergrad I really focused on myself. I learned the long and hard way a lot of what you guys talk about and I am here to say it does work (started listening to you about a year ago). Small changes to your lifestyle make a huge difference and it snowballs (along with your point about sugary drinks I found condiments was another “hidden” high calorie area…mayo, BBQ sauce, ranch, etc.). One thing I think is miscommunicated in the fitness realm of weight loss is that only after you lose 100lbs or whatever your goal is will you now feel accomplished or better. That is completely and utterly wrong. Losing the first 10lbs (the right way) feels amazing…like you always say “listen to your body” and “stay present”. The weight loss journey can be extremely fulfilling. Losing that much weight shouldn’t be quick because you need to emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally heal from the abuses your body and mind has taken due to being heavy. My journey to losing over 80lbs took about a year and the emotional, mental, and spiritual healing is still a work in progress. I love the podcast!

I lost 100 pounds this year doing a combo of extreme calorie restriction, keto/fasting, and am now currently doing a ppl split 6 days a week at the gym that has considerably morphed the shape of my physique in the past 3 months of training. I am very excited to see what a year of strength training will look like, but for now the benefits of being able to eat more freely in terms of carbs is the shit. Also I reversed my type 2 diabetes .... so that’s good shit too

I lost 45-50 pounds. I’m 6’0 185 now. I always told myself I didn’t gain it overnight, I won’t lose it overnight either. Lots and lots of setbacks but the healthy habits you pick up over the years makes it easy as hell I’m almost glad I struggled with body issues my whole life lol. Jk although I’m excited about my late 20s and beyond

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I weigh 315 lb and need to be 215 lbs. Thanks for sharing great info.

Your conversation at 12:30 almost made me cry. Spot on. You guys “get it.”

Loved this episode, will definitely watch again to write down all 10 tips, will aim to implement 3 this week.

This is one of the best videos of yours that I have listened to. I have made health and weight loss a study over the past 18 months by listening to hundreds of hours of videos by the experts. I try to sort hype from what really works. Your 10 points on supporting long term permanent weight loss are highly practical and easy to understand for implementation. I am a life long heavy person. I have been tracking several health habits for the past 6 months. My biggest take aways from your video is to pick another small habit and be disciplined to implement it. Next is to get back to the gym and lift some weights. Thank you for taking the time to share your years of practical knowledge.

I lost 100 pounds in five months. but I also was a 340 plus pound alcoholic coke head Who lost his family and everything else. so I went through the withdraws on my own which was straight hell and I don’t recommend! then I joined a gym and gave it all I had in five months I lost 100 pounds got clean and sober and got my family back after not talking to my wife for two years. Hell she was already moved on and I seen her and apologized next thing I know we’re back together. that was about seven years ago and I am still clean sober & healthy.

140+ down. I've switched from Carnivore to a 2:1.... from watching you guys. I've got a little KZread channel and if nothing else having videos before and after is great motivation!

This is so insightful and is definitely something not talked about as it's very common to go through this transformation!! love the podcast!

20 lbs down... 60-70 to go. Have been fighting unknown diabetes and other severe health issues for many years. This yr after seizures, flatlining and walking with a walker for 6 months (I'm only 34) we were able to stabilize my health and starting again with weights and their nutrition guidance but this time hopeful to see some actual results

This is the all-in-one video on the topic. The definitive one. Well done, lads!

I’m already subscribed notifications are on. I’m a USMC veteran looking to get back into shape I’ve gained 30 pounds since I’ve gotten out and I’m looking for something to kick start my weight loss. Keep up the work guys.

Already won the comment contest, just showing love for the show! Thanks, Mind Pump ❤️

When Sal had said (I think in his book is where I first heard him say it)…motivation is a feeling and discipline is a skill…it just really clicked! There are days (honestly not very often) where training might not be something I want to do…but then I do it anyway and ALWAYS feel better while doing it and afterwards. You guys have been, and continue to be, an amazing source of information and experience. 💪❤️🏋️‍♂️🔥

Thank you for sharing this with us all! It’s very encouraging for a person like me, postpartum and have about 80lbs to lose.

Thanks for speaking on the mindset. It’s so important! I tried the running and salad method to lose weight before and gained every pound of it back. Chick fil a was calling my name one day and that was the end of that diet 😂… But going to therapy for my relationship with food has been one of the greatest tools to changing my life… That lady changed my life! This year we set a goal to start living and loving myself again. I’ve done so many things this year I was afraid to do because of my weight. Attended shows (I was afraid of little seats, most seats were little but I still did it), baseball games, soccer games, bought stylish clothes (hard to find wearing a 5x), travelled by airplane (God bless those ppl seating beside me lol), even went freaking hiking a few times! Actually my profile picture is me hiking at the beginning of this year. I got all 400 pounds of myself up and down a hiking trail!!! I definitely died a few times but man did that feel good accomplishing that! Talks like these help me see I’m on the right track to success!!! Thanks so much guys!!

As a 262 pound person who doesn’t know where to start, MAPS Starter would be very helpful to start exercising. Either way, glad I have found a fitness channel that I enjoy watching to encourage me to lose weight!

Love you guys, all of your videos have helped me in some way shape or form, but this is perfect. I need to lose weight for my new job, so I’m very excited to hear about these methods in this video. Thanks guys!

This episode is so legit on diet, love it.

Hello, I have been listening to your show for awhile now and you guys have great content. Not just fitness but also your conversations are very entertaining. I haven't really worked out regularly for about 10 years. The doctor told me I need to lose 65 lbs. I have been debating to buy one of your plan but honestly I'm embarrassed at the gym because I'm no where close the strength I used to have. But I feel like I need to just jump into it because I need to improve my health.

Thanks for your work, would appreciate getting the MAPS STARTER

I've been at this five years. I have about 70lbs to lose, started with about 85lbs to lose. Last year I had a trainer, It didn't go well and right now I'm struggling with the self hate, depression, frustration and the failure from not losing weight after a year of working with a trainer. I have MAPS Anabolic. Trying to get back to it. I keep hearing what my trainer said about people who were overweight having mental problems and it guts me. He was talking about me, to me, like I wasn't there. Podcasts like these help. I wish there were more trainers out there like you. One step at a time, I will get back to working out. Keep up the amazing work guys, this helps more than you know.

Wish I found you guys sooner. Was 397 @ 5’11” at my heaviest last summer and got gastric bypass in November of 2020 then increasing my activity gradually: first by walking/hiking, then cardio like a recumbent bike, then just a haphazard non programmed resistance training. Today I’m 210, finished my first week MAPS Anabolic and I am seeing some strength gains in the process. It’s really a Lot of keeping that expectation that everything else will come with time and try to love the process. The key for me being successful is wanting to not be that statistic of gaining it back so starting therapy and meeting with my required dietician have been very beneficial and key for me.

All your recomendations are excellent brothers, problem is majority cannot affort a psychologist or nutrition specialist to help them out reach their weight loss goals logically whereas gym memberships are so cheap that eveeyone is going there to grind themselves on those stupid cardio equipment, for me your channel offers free psychological and nutrition coaching and i am getting great results following you guys so love and respect to yall!

When I was going to school, it was easy for me to get so focused on my work I would go hours without standing up and moving around. So I started drinking lots of water while I was studying. This would force me to take constant bathroom break. Luckily I studied at a college where I could leave all my stuff at the table and i would go to a restroom down a huge flight of stairs. Now I wasn't doing it for weight loss but this goes in to what you were talking about with drinking water and taking little walks for someone who is trying. Thanks y'all

As someone who has lost 100lbs and maintained it for a couple years, this is all great information I wish I had. Great for anyone on the journey

This is helpful! Thanks 💪🏻

Yes. If I have time, I print documents downstairs throughout the day rather than print all at once. Really increases the steps.

Awesome that you did this episode. Good work guys.

Love what you guys said about kids. I know just from my own experience and watching other parents, if I don’t allow some snacks, unhealthy habits around food are bound to happen. So I do keep a couple of options for my kids like crackers or fruit snacks. Other than that we buy a lot of fruit, cheese sticks, Greek yogurt, etc for them. They’re allowed the snack crackers or “less healthy options” every so often but I’ve taught them that just because they want a snack they aren’t necessarily hungry if they won’t take the healthier option from being ACTUALLY hungry. Being realistic as a parent is important, but it’s not an excuse to not set a good healthy example for children.

Thank you very much for the tips 😀

This is a great conversation. So much of this especially what Sal shares is reminiscent of Jordan Peterson's teachings ... Negotiating with yourself and building self worth

I was assaulted at work in 2016 and suffered a TBI and had brain surgery to save my life. Over the next 4 years I was almost bed ridden 20 hours a day. I went up to 296 pounds I am 6'1' and probably should be 180 pounds . Now I can walk good again and I am down to 255 pounds. I did the crash diet thing and lost a lot of weight and fast but was miserable. I got down to 225 pounds but was desperate and fell hard at that point and went right back up to 255 almost over night. Now I am in the gym three days a week doing full body workouts and eating whole foods. I don't care if it takes me two years to lose the rest of this weight. I am already feeling so much better and so much more active. For me even at 255 I am already winning. I have been doing what you guys show us for two months and it feels great and even the squats are easier :)

It took me so long to put together these little hacks! And they make everything so much easier

My Mantra is "let present now Me, look after and help future Me.. coz future Me will love old Me for helping"

It all about practicing good habits and discipline to lose weight, lose fat, gain muscle, having a healthy body and mind.

I bought a ½ gallon water bottle 3 weeks ago just to make fun of my boss who is a fitness fanatic and has the same bottle. Since then I've only been drinking from that water at work and I don't even want a soda anymore. It's not satisfying now. I just want water. It's crazy. I've have always been a soda person. I've lost 5 lbs over the last 3 week just drinking water. I'm amazed at what I'm seeing change in my life from what started as a joke. You guys rock! Drink more water.

Such an important podcast!!!

I am a bit late - and already subscribed etc. Unfortunately I have around 55kg to lose (I'm in New Zealand, so metric) and I am 5"1. At 40 I am feeling sore every morning, my knees hurt when I walk and after walking up a flight of stairs I'm struggling to breathe. I am feeling overwhelmed right now but also conscious that I need to do something. I know I'm too late for the competition but it feels good to say it all out loud 🤷 thank you for making your content - it has been a steep learning curve thus far!

I need to lose 100lbs. I am ashamed of myself. I binge, I fast, I did keto, carnivore, vegan, vegetarian. Name it, I have done it. I start, I stop, I exercise, I dont. Cant stand myself. Love your videos. Thank you for them.

I love this podcast because u guys have a lot of experience and no bs I’m trying to do this 100 lbs weight loss goal I have some videos on my channel that I’m serious about it but lacking some motavtioon to stick to it I’m a regular gym rat but my nutrition is the key I like to lift heavy and sometimes my eating is my biggest downfall I want to get this program for free so I can follow somethinf and not just on my own or just regular program.

I lost about 70 pounds since July/August of 2020. I gained about 8 back, but I'm back on the cut and grind. I don't know if I want to get to 100 pounds total, but I have at least 20 to lose, so the total lost should be 80 to 100. A lot of that depends on how much muscle I gain. I'm going to be switching from bar calisthenics to barbell, dumbell and bands for the winter. I'm looking for a program now. I don't belong to a gym, but I have supplies at home. I've been using the calisthenics parks and children's playgrounds. Another key point is that while it's like OMG 2 years to lose the weight, in about 4 or 5 months I was already looking and feeling a ton better just having dropped the first 20 to 30 pounds. I love you guys and I play your episodes when I'm getting ready in the morning everyday and I hope that will help keep me on track.

Great discussion guys

Thank you for this

I have lost and found more weight than I can keep track of. Once I hit my 30's I really started to care. SW was 250ish lbs lowest I got was 216 (5 foot tall). I thought I was on track. Then 2020 hit. As a hair dresser I stand up and move through the day a lot so I was able to keep off some of what I originally lost even though I picked up some of my old habits. But when 2020 hit and the salon was mandated closed for so long I again found most of what I lost. I have not yet been motivated to focuses on my health in the last year, 2021 I was trying to build back my career. I read The Miracle Morning after the Hal Elrod episode I am ready to work hard again. MAPS would really help, but I CAN do this regardless.

thoughts from 12:56 "If your initial drivers were from self love, the journey will be fulfilling and cherished. If the initial drivers were from self hate, everything is torture and punishment"

Learn to lose just 1lb. Then do that 99 more times

I'm a female and lost 100 pounds down within a year and 3 months!😀But yet 300 pounds to go!😓hope it dose'nt take me 3 years and 9 months to lose the rest. Lost it with clean eating mon-fri and exercise at least once a week and drinking 1 gallon of water daily was my goal.

Nice episode once again 🙂

I definitely need this. I lost 57 pounds in 2020. I have gained 65 lbs back.

I am on my 145 days and lost 56 lbs. Still trying to lose 64 more lbs. It's grinding experience everyday. I eat 1800-2000 calories and cut out all fast food minus diet soda. I spend like 3 hours a day running, biking, ellipticaling and lifting weight. I take break every 3-4 days.. I pushing to my limit and yet result is coming very slow. I could probably have lost more if I cut my calories to like 1300ish and doing more cardio but I am afraid of killing my metabolism and have a lot of lose skins after losing 100+ lbs so I try to eat more doing around 4 hours of lifting per week.

Damn it sucks I missed it definitely got to lose 100 pounds love the content guys

So much truth here....

Hey guys, I finished college football about a year ago. I was an offensive lineman and I’m still hanging around 330 lbs and looking to drop some weight. I’ve had a hard time in the gym keeping a consistent routine. I go 4-5 times/week but some days I just feel like I’m not accomplishing much. I’m wondering which MAPS program do you think would help me drop some weight? And it’s taken about 6-7 months but I finally have a healthy relationship with food which is something I never had as a collegiate athlete. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I know this is off topic, but what are your thoughts on glute ham rollers?

I have already lost -35lb and have 70 more to go. I started lifting 10 weeks ago. Would love to have a program to help step those gains up!

Discovering the cause of your overeating is essential to conquering it.

It’s funny. I’ve had a lot of weight to lose. In 18 months I’ve lost about half of it. But in my mental space I never viewed myself as overweight. It’s hard to explain, but though I didn’t deny the facts, I didn’t absorb them as my identity. Perhaps it helps that I’ve always been active in one way or another. Anyway, just an odd realization for me just now.

I thought I had about 50 lbs to lose when I started, as I lost about 40 lbs - I realized that I should lose more. I had forgotten that 175 lbs was once the highest weight I used to allow myself to be. So it shouldn’t have been my target. But I think if I had started at 225 thinking I need to go to 155 - I would not have even began. I’ve only been walking to lose the weight. First few months it was 10000 steps average. Then I went up to 6 miles a day and now I do 8 miles. If I could swim I’d just do that and probably wouldn’t take that much time. And I ve also been eating home cooked food I’ve always eaten. Just no takeout. Or junk. I lose about a lb and a half a week this way. But I’m starting to do weight training. I’ve trained on and off for a few years but not for a while.

Hey MP, define “heavily processed foods”.

I have my first born on the way. I need to get on top of it before end up with dad bod problems!

i just count my protein and fat, carbs i go with intuition

So am I set up for failure with what I've done? I've been intermittent fasting with a 16-8 protocol for several weeks. Did a 72 hour fast. It's really helped fix my relationship with food. Now I'm planning on OMAD and working out. I truly believe I can sustain 18-6 the rest of my life, but I feel like my mindset of needing to see fast initial results to stay focused needs OMAD for the first month or so of my journey.

Do you guys offer a nutrition plan ?

I sit at an office job all day. 10 hours a day. One big thing that really helps me is when I use my 15 minute breaks and just go for a walk. And then go to the first thing after work.

Would love to WIN this for my husband who’s starting his fitness journey.

Dropped 130lbs., divorced her

As a guy that has lost over 100lbs in the past I can say doing it fast is not the answer. I gained almost all of it back. Now I was working out so I have done something good for myself and added muscle to my frame which is visible. In the grand scheme of things what is a year?…. Like one year to more then likely adding multiple years too your life!!!

My son is 29 years old and extremely overweight. He says he wants to lose weight, but I think he doesn't know how or where to start. I live in Miami and he lives in Gainesville, so I can't be around to motivate or guide him. I'm thinking your starter program might be what he needs to get some direction.

If people don't want to just drink water, tell them to get things like Vitamin Water, Sparkling Ice, komboucha, tea (2 teaspoons or less of sugar), sometimes kefir or chocolate milk because they have protein. At least those are much better on calories, or come with benefits like probiotics and/or protein. Also, water is cheaper. I actually switched to more water years ago, just to save money.

All the best from Poland Boys!! We eat pierogis drink vodka and watch MindPump!!

I’ve dropped 60lbs in the last 8ish months… question is.. how do I deal with the skin that is now loose and hanging?

Am I destined to be fat? After all these years I genuinely have lost all hope 😓

I don't want to win the starter pack (I already bought MAPS anabolic). I just wanted to say, I'm currently in the second phase, and I've built muscle, gotten more muscular, and have a faster metabolism. You guys are great, and I appreciate all the information you give! 😁👍

Hey man... I'll be starting phase II of Anabolic this week. I really enjoyed phase I, and I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge of phase II. My goal is 12-15 lbs weight loss, increased strength & building a little muscle. I definitely saw strength increases during phase I. When you started Anabolic, I assume your goal was weight loss & muscle building. Is that right? When did you start slowly increasing your calories from a deficit?
