Sir I am not a personal trainer or a doctor. The reason why you don't have the body type in the fitness and health level you want cuz that's what you're planning about is because you do not trained with weights. You don't need to lift heavy you need to lift continuously for high reps even if you're just curling 10 lbs do sets of 30 to 50 at least five rounds. U need weights u r overcomplicating trying to invent the wheel and you're doing so much that you're actually being lazy to your body

Here's the trick: kcal deficit. I like to powerlift. I gain weight during the bulking phase; I lose weight during the cutting phase. There is no magic to it. Actually, you do not even need to do sports or fitness. The only way to lose weight is by being for 4-8 weeks, say, some -10 % less of your daily kcal maintenance level. -10 % is pretty common in bodybuilding, as it helps you to stick to it longer. Do you plan to gain weight in order to gain muscle faster? Then eat +10 % of your daily kcal maintenance level. Easy as pie, if you track your food. Sports, fitness, etc., only help you with the kcal deficit (and to build up muscle improve your cardiovascular system), but technically, weight loss is about kcal deficit. In case it helps someone. Do this: - Track your food daily for 4 weeks using apps like Cronometer. Yes, it can be annoying. But after 4 weeks, you see the progress better, and you get a better feeling for kcal levels. - Do you not know your kcal maintenance level? Check your weight for 2 weeks. Is your weight more or less stable? Then this is your kcal maintenance level. - You can keep all the sweets, cheeseburgers, and cake in the world, but keep an eye on your daily kcal level. That's it. No need for sports. - If you are new to sports, do not start with jogging, as jogging is the hardest. Do walking (like 10,000 steps per day while watching a TV show or listening to a podcast in the park). Better: go straight for weights. Google for "upper body/lower body plan" or "push/pull/legs plan", with exercise examples. Weights also help build more strength and muscle. - Shame, vanity, envy etc. are a big thing for many people. They hesitate to go to the gym because they feel unfit, fat, and whatnot. In reality, gym bros are mostly more kind and supportive than the average person. Also, they all know about the process of fitness. If you look unfit, they know how fit you will look after 1 year. Harness your ego. Give it a try. If you hesitate and have some money: buy a few dumbbells for home and start with a bench, and some body-weight-only exercises like calisthenics. But again, you do not need sports or fitness exercises to lose weight. Weight loss is all about your kcal deficit. If maybe it to here, maybe this will encourage you to lose weight: if you are obese or taking steroids, your brain is taking damage. The brain of an obese person shrinks 5-10 %. It can recover if you lose weight again, but the damage is done. It is why obese people are way more prone to Alzheimer, memory loss, by the way. Yes, gym bros with steroids: the same. It has to do with the energy management of your body. The brain is extremely energy-sensitive, actually, and it consumes the most energy of all your organs. If you body size grows, your body shuts down certain organs and functions to save energy, so to speak; it is why your libido and sexual organs eventually suffer, same as with steroids, interestingly.

Honestly - scales are the worst measurement. Because weight can fluctuate due to water weight and muscle mass growth - not just fat. The best way to measure weight loss imo are actual measurements of your chest, belly and waist and simply noticing how your clothes fit.

I haven’t finished the video yet. But the thing that sticks out to me the most about mysteriously a weight gain is that you didn’t realize how you were over eating naturally. Once you tracked your calories it became clear. It’s just hard to maintain tracking calories. Once you get the rough estimates for what a cup of cereal looks like, how much calories are in eggs ect. It can become easier to eat within your calorie range without overeating. Good luck on your fitness journey 😊

I would kindly disagree. NEAT usually makes up the least amount of calories burned in the total daily energy expenditure. You will not lose or gain much fat by taking the stairs vs the elevator (however it is still a good choice as stairs are great for mobility). Taking regular walks is the only thing you listed that would actually burn enough calories to make a noticeable difference. Increasing your movement is hardly ever a bad idea but let’s be real, walking a few hundred extra feet across the parking lot is not going to shift the scale.

Counting calories is incredibly effective for lots of people (not everyone though). Yes, it is simplistic but the physical mechanics of weight loss is quite simple. It’s the mental mechanics preventing us from living healthy lifestyles that are complex 😅

@Vermonstered

Ай бұрын

​@@miaomiaou_​ Nonsense, NEAT is often the HIGHEST activity for the day in contrast to dedicated exercise. Roughly 30-40% of your daily expenditure comes from NEAT considered activities. Everything from twiddling your thumbs to vacuuming the house to walking after meals is considered NEAT. Directed exercise really caps out around 300-500kcal for most people per day as people aren't consistent nor can they do more than 30min of moderate exercise, if that. Anything around the house if you can stay up and off the couch more than not will generally burn more calories than that. NEAT is not to be underestimated.

Hey Cam, you probably don't remember me but we were on the same hall in college (23-3 baby). I was a freshman at the time. Anyways, I found your channel about a month or two ago and have really been enjoying your videos! They're excellent quality and really informative/fun to watch. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching more!

I started counting calories around 8 weeks ago and it was the snacks that stuck out the most. I've lost 11lbs since i started and aim to lose another 6 to get to my goal. You do start to learn what 300 calories looks like once you do this for a while, so you start to question everything you put in your mouth. Good work on the transformation 👏

HUGE respect for his commitment to making long-term change. So many challenges end in people going right back to their old habits. 👍🏾

CONGRATULATIONS! THIS IS SO COOL. You're inspiring and motivating A LOT of people. I wish you all the best!

I think one of the biggest takeaways is the importance of counting calories and knowing the effects of a calorie deficit and surplus. For the longest time, I was living in suspended disbelief, not counting calories because I didn’t want to know how much I ACTUALLY consumed on a daily/weekly basis. I was terrified when I downloaded my fitness pal and discovered the truth, but now, after holding myself accountable and exercising, sleeping, and eating in a 500 calorie deficit, I’m losing weight at a healthy pace and am in control of it! PLEASE, if you struggle with weight loss, get a calorie tracker and COUNT YOUR CALORIES! Don’t be afraid; it’ll help you recognize unhealthy habits and keep yourself accountable and UNDERSTAND a realistic weightloss approach. No, you CANNOT outtrain a bad diet. Take it from me- I’ve lifted for years and have developed some great muscle, but it’s covered by layers of fat from bad dieting, so please, don’t be afraid to know the numbers

You don’t need to count them, but you need to be aware that processed food like “healthy cereal” or ready made pasta sauce (which often is laden with sugar!) is extremely calorie dense. Just skipping processed food and snacks completely will lead to a calorie deficit for most people.

This needs more exposure…keeping it real, goals take HARD work, thanks for sharing

I’m genuinely impressed that you’ve achieved your weight loss goal largely by skipping rope. It’s mind blowing that your knees withstood all that jumping nonstop without getting an injury. I like skipping but gave myself a very bad knee injury due to overtraining, I’ve been really cautious since. Well done to you and keep up your routine 👏🏾

Super proud of you bud! I've just been finishing the first stretch of my own weight loss journey, so I hope its fine if I share it here alongside yours :) I'm 6'1, age 28, and I had slowly climbed from 175 pounds in high school to 210 as of last month. I had some motivation from my now ex-girlfriend, but I was able to lose 10 pounds and get back under 200 in the last 30 days. I was already a fairly healthy person, but I became a lot more intentional about tracking food for the first few weeks and working out more consistently. I also used to have this fear of going to bed hungry, but I got way more comfortable with hunger and what it meant. Between the amount that I was working out, limiting my alcohol consumption to essentially zero, and the amount of protein I was consuming (lots of protein from chicken, protein shakes, protein bars), I was able to keep my body in a state where it was burning fat but mostly holding on to muscle mass. Now that I've hit my goal of 200, I'm going to aim to get down to 190 and look swole :D Anyone can do it, it mostly requires that you do the research and be intentional

I think snacking is what is the biggest food challenge for a lot of people, including me. It's easy to eat a realistic amount when you're eating real food, it's when the other stuff comes in that it's SO easy to get derailed. I think for me, the solution is to just NOT snack between meals, making sure I eat enough to keep me satiated, and if I for some reason have a "hungry day", have something like vegetables/fruit and a protein to tide me over. It can be done with tasty food, without resorting to snack foods (which usually don't have any nutritional value as well). Another part of the key is to understand that sometimes, we need to go out for dinner or whatever, and that's OK, enjoy it, and keep going. One larger meal won't derail you.

In my experience (I have been tracking exact calories for some months by now) it's the sweets as well as soda that really pushes calorie intake up like crazy. My calorie goal is ~2000 per day while doing workouts as well as cardio and it's not a big problem until something like chocolate or non-protein chips etc. come into play. If you can stay away from those you are gonna be fine - and tracking calories and really visualizing how much calories you take in really helps in cutting that stuff down.

For budgeting calories it’s helpful to break it into a weekly calorie budget rather than a daily one. That way if you do over indulge one day you don’t need to feel like you have to burn it all off in a single workout. Simply account for the overage in the remaining days of the week.

There are a lot of people in this same scenario. They eat pretty healthy and workout every week. But they gain/can't lose weight. 1) Healthy food still has calories. If you're not tracking them accurately on a daily basis, you can still gain weight on a healthy diet. 2) People usually overconsume on the weekends creating a surplus that undoes their whole deficit for the week. As tempting as it is, don't have too much fun Fri-Sun. 3) People who workout tend to be surprisingly sedentary most of the day. The key is to increase your daily general activity. This means to stand more, move more, and walk a lot daily with a goal of 10-15K steps on top of lifting and formal cardio.

What worked for me was eating at a calorie deficit and making sure I only snacked every other day. I paid very close attention to the serving sizes of the snacks before I dove in to eat them. I'd pull out a bowl and measure our a serving so I knew that once the bowl was empty, I was done snacking for the night. finding healthy alternatives, reducing sugar intake, increasing fiber and protein intake also helped a lot too. I was able to lose 40lbs in 5 months just by following that and walking at a brisk pace for 4 miles (1 hour) every day. I've made this a life style chance and have managed to stay at my goal weight for 4 years now.

Great video. Well done! You aren't accounting enough for BMR and how calories in and out affect that.

I think one of the things missed in this video is the importance of certain macronutrients over others (protein builds muscle, more muscle raises metabolism, raised metabolism equals more fat loss) BUT the importance of trying to have a healthy relationship with food. Those foods are not bad in and of themselves, it’s just how often and how much.

Take it from a guy who has lost over 80 lbs to go from obese to skinny (me). Just start today with something, anything. I was probably on the track to dying early and now I’m one of the fittest guys at work.

Thanks for another great year of videos!

Proud of you dude! Before/After photos are crazy!

Great content. Maybe adding a few moderate 30 min walks, keeping your heart rate between 110-129 is the far burning zone will help too.

once you begin counting calories, you start to not liike cereal anymore lmao

What an amazing transformation! Way to keep pushing when it got tough!

This is a great realistic and relatable video! 👏

I just watched a 13 minute advertisement. People can't be honest, they always have to sell you a product. Buying this cross rope is not going to fix your mindset, work on that first. You can do homeworkouts for beginners instead, and they are free. Nice video though.

5:13 uuuuh... roasted 🤣 gotta love how guys talk to each other

Very encouraging to keep me going on my journey as well! It’s crazy how easy it is to underestimate calories in snacks! Solid video!

Great video! I really needed this.

I just watched a 13 minute jump rope commercial. F.

Hahaha preach brother! I have an old Crossrope and thought… damn I should get this one. F is right!

"I haven't even accounted for the milk !!" 😂😂

Awesome stuff! Love this video, great for the reality of accountability!

Goes to show tracking is so beneficial, it’s so easy to underestimate or not account for foods. Love the jump rope and app, wish I could do it.

This video is great! I lost 25 lbs using my own knowledge as a health educator and another 25 lbs using Noom where I tracked my eating and tackled some psychological aspects. It was all very minor changes over time. I will say one thing not to do is to "burn" the calories from snacks/desserts. That trains your mind to think of them as "bad," which makes them even more enticing. It's better to eat mindfully, as you did unknowingly. After 2 weeks, that was when you were really craving the snacks and did the right thing in endulging moderately. If you keep fighting cravings forever, you'll eventually fall really hard off the wagon. Also, eating mindlessly was what caused you to eat snacks 4x a week.

10 years since I learned about tracking properly, and the number of calories from foods still surprises me.

Super inspiring! Great job 🎉

wow this is very inspiring!! great job

To really understand what's happening here in terms of how diet+exercise affect weight loss, It would be instructive and useful if you shared the following info tracked over the 50 day period: (a) your average daily caloric intake, (b) your average daily exercise-related energy expenditure and (c) your assumed baseline energy expenditure before the extra exercise stuff. You tracked everything carefully so you should have this info easily accessible. Would be super interesting to see whether the numbers actually reflect the reality of the weight loss. Do they line up or diverge?

Love how realistic this was 😊

One of the best video I have come across 😊

Great work !! this makes me think how well disciplined a bodybuilder should be all their cutting phase damn.

One thing that’s been helping me is by following a 16/8 intermittent fasting routine. Every night when I would normally be snacking, I’m now fasting. For some reason it’s easier to skip the snacks that way. I do feel some hunger but I’m getting used to it, and realizing how I don’t need to be eating every single time I feel slightly hungry. I am also tracking my calories very closely and I think my portions were way too big before.

Absolutely, intermittent fasting is something that mentally helps people to keep calories down. Because for most people not eating for 16 hours is just an easier rule to follow. It’s requires MUCH less willpower than say portion control or keeping track of calories, or skipping a meal a day and not eating snacks and using your willpower each time to “resist” eating. And then after a while, as you say, your brain gets used to the new regime and suddenly not snacking is the new normal. I lost 18lbs last fall by only eating two meals per day and cutting out all snacks and processed food, and TBH I felt it was very hard to start eating “normally” again (as I didn’t want to lose more weight). My body and brain had got used to the new routine.

This is definitely me! Lately I realised how snacks and alcohol ruin everything I do at the gym. I train about 6 times a week and was always wondering why I never lose weight, if anything I gain some here and there! Basically, unless you are training for the Olympics, it is IMPOSSIBLE to out-train bad foods. 3 biscuits and a small chocolate will easily offset 70 minutes at the gym!

This video is awesome!! The realization hit when you actually tracked your snacks and that is where we all go wrong! Little snacks here and there we think wouldn't hurt but it does!! Most times we don't even account for them either because we don't think that they would add much. Tracking EVERYTHING helps tremendously with planning your food so that you can even add your snacks in! I add my snacks in first sometimes so that I have an idea of what my eating for the day will be lol. Great job!😃

He’s going to be skinny fat. 1900 calories and working out every day is too much of a deficit. I eat 2500 calories and lift weights 1 time a week. In 185 dehydrated in the morning and still losing body fat while building muscle.

If you try to speed up the process, you’ll increase stress hormone. If you cut too many calories, you’ll get diet fatigue. If you lose it too fast, you’ll probably put it all back on.
