The No BS Guide To Going from 30% To 10% Body Fat (Burn Fat, Get Lean) | Adam Schafer (Mind Pump)

Adam Schafer is one of the host’s and founders of the highly popular brand and podcast Mind Pump.
Today on the show we get into the ultimate blueprint for going from 30% body fat to 10% body fat. While that low of body fat percentage is not recommended for women, this episode still will provide a ton of value no matter what. We also discuss the three things you must track to lose body fat, why eliminating things from your diet when losing weight can be problematic, how to effectively measure progress without using a scale, why vanity and aesthetics is a massive health trap, the biggest fat loss mistakes people make, why some of the most ripped people are often the most broken, things you should switch up in the gym to maximize gains and more.

    00:14 🍏 Focus on optimizing health first before diving into weight loss. 02:05 🧠 Track steps, sleep, and nutrition to assess the starting point accurately. 03:57 🏋‍♂ Start by adding things to the diet before taking away, focusing on hitting protein intake. 05:18 🥦 Add whole, nutrient-dense foods to the diet instead of focusing on calorie restriction. 08:45 🚶 Gradually increase daily steps to improve activity level. 10:52 💪 Increase strength training intensity to burn more calories and build muscle. 14:23 🍽 No need to weigh food, focus on adding whole foods to the diet. 16:09 📷 Use circumference measurements and progress pictures to track changes instead of relying solely on the scale. 19:57 🧠 Focus on more than just reaching 10% body fat; it's essential to understand the long-term benefits beyond aesthetics. 22:56 🏠 Connecting fitness to other aspects of life like relationships and productivity at work can be a powerful motivator. 24:47 💼 A healthier version of yourself improves performance in all areas of life, not just fitness. 27:32 🚀 Focus on long-term passion rather than short-term goals like reaching 10% body fat. 29:21 🌱 True health includes balance and enjoyment, not just physical appearance. 30:17 💔 Pursuing physical perfection can lead to emotional lows and a sense of brokenness. 35:17 ⚖ The mistake many make is pushing too hard, too fast; focus on sustainable changes for long-term success. 39:44 🏋‍♂ It's better to start with a realistic workout plan and gradually increase intensity rather than overwhelming yourself with too much too soon. 40:41 🍽 Two days of full-body strength training per week combined with good nutrition can significantly reduce body fat percentage, even from 30% to 10%. 41:23 📉 Starting with too much too fast can lead to burnout and plateaus. Gradual adjustments are more sustainable for long-term progress. 41:51 💪 Pushing through plateaus often requires changes in workout routines, including adjusting rest periods and tempos. 43:16 🚹🚺 Men and women tend to hit plateaus differently; women may need encouragement to push harder, while men may need to avoid overtraining. 45:49 ⏱ Adjusting rest periods and exercise tempos can help break through plateaus, regardless of whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter.

    Go look up visceral fat causing chronic illness, this guy has some knowledge on body composition but he’s misinformed and wrong about a couple things including vegetables, they should be kept to a minimum or not eaten at all ideally, also eating 4-6 times a day is ridiculous you should be eating Mac of twice a day and when you’re eating correctly you get satiated properly and are not hungry, if you’re hungry you’re lacking nutrition and if you keep eating veggies it’s shuttling that protein quickly out of your system and you don’t absorb it, more meat. More animal fat. Also weight training is a slow and long game when all you need to do it sprint. Sprinting activate your entire body more than weightlifting, you’ll get jacked just doing that. You must improve circulation to allow your body to heal on the proper carnivore diet to allow for optimization. Fat is not all one thing, there’s 3 types of fat and one is beneficial, that’s why body builders still get heart attacks and strokes oh and guess what they eat 6 times a day protein and carbs/veggie, think about it the fiber we cannot digest gets pushed along and intact take plenty protein with it leaving you malnourished wanting more

    He's right! When I weighed 265, I forced myself on a chicken/fish/eggs/broccoli diet with lots of weights exercise. I went from 265 down to 215 in 4 months. But...I was miserable...I hated the way I did it. Gained it all back. Losing weight, getting healthy is a lifestyle..not a burden. I learned better & easier...no rush, no stress, enjoy the journey. "Diet" is short term with one goal. "Lifestyle" is the opposite...long term and easy.

    Realistically no one is losing 20% body fat in 30 days. It's just not a common thing. Patience and consistency is key. I started almost exactly 1 year ago, went from 255 to 195, and in that time from 32% to about 14% now, packed on a lot of muscle in this newbie gain period, and I've never felt better. But I've also ate the exact same things for the past 12 months, 6 days a week, I have one cheat day a week where I go as nuts as I want, and by the time that day is over? I'm pumped to get back on the diet like normal until the next Saturday. CONSISTENCY bois, that's the "secret" here. Rushing shit? It won't last.

    @jakehopt Yup. I never really get above 20% and it still takes me from the Tuesday after the Super Bowl til July 4th to get down to 10% no cheats if I want to preserve all the winter lean mass gains. All that said, strange deceptive clickbait headline. Granted I watched a 2x speed but I never saw either of them actually claim you could do it in 30 days. If you did 20% BF reduction / recomp in 30 days you're on a serious designer cocktail of GLP-1s and AAS's because no human can do that naturally. It's on the order of 2lbs of fat loss PER DAY with (and here's the kicker) no adverse impact on, and likely increase in, lean mass (which translates to no or very little cardio and even then it would need to be all LSD with heart rate never exceeding 120 ish METs staying round 3 to 3.5 ish). Not. Gonna. Happen. Naturally. No matter how dialed in you are.

It’s what helped me get me back working out & eating healthy but its not always the healthiest mindset. I’ve been on my fitness journey for a year and a half & im really trying to find balance and give myself grace when I miss a day in the gym or have a bad day of eating on the weekends. This was the depth I really needed today. It’s not the most important thing but I think what’s really helping me personally is that I’m really loving the process & how I’m feeling and not getting too caught up in only the way I look or the validation from others. But the days I notice I’m stronger or my workout gets easier that feels so good!

With the goal of 220g of protein and my stomach being smaller from fasting, hitting that is a chore, and you won't have any need to eat bullshit. So I don't track calories just protein and kind track carbs. I workout 5 days a week. I've lost 17 lbs, with a noticeable change in the mirror and I'm feeling better everyday.

No diet, just fit the macros. I always eat mostly clean, whole foods anyway so I don't need to be on a diet to eat healthy. Tracking allows me to recalibrate portion sizes and to reduce the high calorie snacks.

I've seen reddit posts about men at 10% body fat and how miserable they are trying to maintain it, and totally get how that negatively effects mental health. BUT Doug and Adam didn't at all cover enough of is what it's like for people who are fit and happy. Aside from just feeling better from working out - a fat person can do that - but once you reach the state where you are fit, flat belly, have a 6 pack - but aren't ripped and veiny. Like, Mark Wahlberg's normal physique versus Brad Pitt in Troy

    I recently bought the mind pump 40s bundle and as someone used to classes, (but not in a gym setting)I kind of don’t know where to start. Do I hire a trainer? Do I work it out on my own? Etc etc.

    If you're new to weight training I'd recommend hiring a trainer so you learn excellent technique from the start. Technique is paramount to progressing and minimizing injury risk

    I had the best results doing OMAD, certainly was not Plant based. Not doing OMAD atm, as I am in maintenance mode. When I did OMAD ( just one way of eating - not a diet ) I lost 18 kgs / 39 lbs. When tracked which was rare - my intake comprised of 60% fat and 20% each from carbs and Protein. Protein came to about half of what is currently recommend, again not ideal but it worked our for me. NEAT was / is my go-to way to move and weights and body weight was / is my way to add resistance to the muscular system.

    Look up a BMR calculator and use it. Take the smallets number and eat that many calories. When you hit a plateau, recalculate your BMR. Once you get close to your goal or a healthier weight then address your macros and go from there.

    What was your calorie deficit like? I'm very active usually 10-15k steps a day Mon-Fri working days, weight training 5-6 days a week, I'm doing 160g protein BUT only 1600 calories which I'm afraid could hurt my metabolism? Thinking of doing some refeeding days at 2500 calories I'm feeling super drained most weeks by Thursday I'm struggling bad at work just zapped. I think I'm just impatient because I want the weight gone but don't want my body eating it's own muscle as fuel cutting too extreme.

I thought 4wks is not a big deal...or is it? I was going to get into a lean build after. So dropping most cardio, go out once or twice a wk and cut back weights to...now im thinking 2 full body per wk lol. Thanks 42yrold woman.

Yes I’ve done 2 of mp programs that were only 3 days a week. So I’ve tried that way of working out too. I’m stuck at what looks like 30% bf.

    Stop, 6-8 months Togo from 30% to 10%? Thats ridiculous. I started at 33% and after doing most of what he’s talking about with Whole Foods and 10k steps a day, I’m down 30 pounds in 4 months which is still 25% body fat. I think 30% to 20% is more realistic in 6-8 months.

    I was a little over 29% body fat on March 1st(start of cut). I got a scan done on May 1st and was 24.2% body fat after 2 months. I expect to be around 20% July 1st. So roughly 10% in 4 months. So if I keep tracking well I could possibly go from 30%-10% in 8 months. Maybe I could be doing things to make it even quicker(I’m not doing any cardio). Everyone’s different and reacts differently but he seems to be correct in what he said 6-8 months.

    Maybe i misunderstood this, but it would take 6-8 months to recomp from 200lbs 30% bodyfat to 200lbs 10% bodyfat? Thats a gain of 40 lbs of lean body tissue. while also losing the ame amount of fat. Israetel and Nippard both seem to suggest beginners gain about 10-15lbs of tissue in their first year while eating at a surplus.

    High protein and standard carb intake. That and allowing rest and not overtraining. 10 to 12 sets per muscle a WEEK, that means 2 training sessions of 5-6 sets at full effort will grow mass and strength. More is junk volume and detrimental unless you are on the sauce or actually not training hard enough. Genetics are a thing as well, type 2 vs 1 muscle fibers, limits etc play a big factor.
