Well those people are wrong. If your maintenance calories are 2000 and you’re eating all clean foods, but it’s 2200 calories, guess what? You’re gonna gain weight. If you’re eating 1800 calories and the foods not very clean at all. Guess what? You’ll lose weight. You might feel terrible. Might not have very much energy, but this is how the body works.

Well it depends on what you mean by ‘less’. Fundamentally, if you want to lose body fat, you’ll have to be in a caloric deficit. Eating ‘better’ or eating ‘healthy’ are sort of misrepresentative words.

I started my journey (390lbs) last August been training 4 days a week since then. I've stayed almost the same weight the entire time, have lost some fat and put on more muscle. Just recently started doing cardio alongside the weight training. I am now at 365lbs trying to get into the 200s. It's a struggle out here.

Greetings from Poland!

Thank you for your content. Just dropping a line to say that this won’t prevent loose skin. I know for myself.

Thanks man‼️💯 I am definitely on the road to skinny fat, which is better than just fat. Started in December a 215lbs at 6 feet tall, and now I'm at 193 and skinny fat, but I am going to start hitting the weights now. People also have to understand that muscle weight and fat weight do not have the same look!🤔🤔🤔🤔

We need to hear more about the stages of dieting while being a natural lifter. There are a lot of ups and downs and I have only heard one guy talk about the stage where you look skinny fat a certain point of cutting. We need more insight into the process and how it affects the body and how it looks. Also eating satiating foods is a big one too

The key in my opinion, coach and this is just what I feel is to include more protein and fewer carbs which should help.

I can’t believe how the fitness industry took off from social media. Im seeing people in the gym I would of never seen before 30 years ago?!

The thing about a journey like this as opposed to "losing weight" is that it's sustainable long term. Lifting and training become your new lifestyle, almost an addiction lol, so you won't ever return to the sad state you were in before. 1 more piece of advice - don't get injured. Losing weeks to rehab just sucks. Perfect form more important than adding weight on your lifts. Good luck everyone.

Thanking you in advance

I really think the cookbook is great. Greg always has good diet advice. The snake oil salesman term is referred to the whole turkesterone "inccident". At least I see it like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks 🙏

You are my favorite cause you said "pop" that's what we say in Michigan lol

My problem is my horrible diet. I love junk food way too much. Three years ago I went from 232 to 183 lbs in 18 months. Lifting weights for hypertrophy (4 days per week/push, pull, supplemented with legs once per week), then running 3 days per week at 30, 45, 60+ minutes (added 15 minutes per long run each week with rest at the 4th week), then dog walking for 45-90 minutes per day). I tracked my calories in and out and on any day that I took in more calories that went out until was at a negative calorie intake for the day. I was so tired that I intentionally ate less so I could do less activity. I need to find that desire to eat less again. Then I moved and started eating like crap again and then quit running. I gained 25 lbs (207 lbs) of fat and muscle (mostly fat due to my bad diet but lifting 3 days per week). My diet is still bad (better than it was). I run 1 mile (10 minute) per lifting session, (4 days per week), lift push pull legs 4 days per week (mostly compound in hypertrophic range) put I sprinkle in Lat raises with each session, triceps twice per week, and curls once per week). Each lifting session is 1 hour to 1.25 hours. I run two to three times per week. Squats, leg presses, deadlifts, and calf raises split per each pull day. Legs are strength based ranges of 3 sets of 5 reps, except calves, which I’d do 20 reps for 3 setI just started running twice per week and walk dogs everyday. I don’t want big legs because I want to train for a marathon next year. I am currently 199.3 lbs and 29 % body fat. Johnny motivates me but so does food.

I track food and exercise with the Fitbit Versa 4. I only drink sweet drinks once per month on average. Thank goodness because I would probably 400 lbs.

What is your opinion coach of using calisthenics to lose weight that is a completely trained body say 4x a week using compound movements. The basics pull,push, squat, and begin with cardio before each workout first and then focus the energy on weight training as the secondary component?

What exercises would you recommend

What if someone like myself who had bariatric sleeve surgery a few years ago??? I eat less but still want to get more shredded and strong . I am still dropping weight from eating less .

What about the different body types how does this work for that

What does this split look like each day , how long are these sessions ?

so we can lose fat and build muscle at the same time? even if we in calories plos?

I’ve been working out for a while now and got more muscular but not losing much weight. I decided to cut out all junk food and replace it with a ton of fruit. Fruit, dinner, and protein. You think that is sufficient enough? Or should I do more

Hey Jonni, your'e awesome bro. Can you help me: I am 59 yrs old, 5'-11", and weight around 185 lbs. When i wear a fitted t-shirt, i look pretty good for my age. I've been training on and off for over 20 years now. I've always had difficulty building my chest....however arms and shoulders look great. I also need to lose my small belly. I';m going to start giving up my daily 3-4 beers @ Happy Hour and cut out 90 % of my carbs and increase my protein. And of course hit the gym 4-5 days a week. Any other advice ? God Bless !

This is called recomposition ☝️ Johnni I got a terrible story. When I started my recomp a cpl years ago I was 230lbs most I ever weighed within a few months I was down to 215 lookin and feeling great ! Sadly lost my home and was forced to move into an Airbnb for about 2 months n eventually was able to purchase my first home. Those 2 months were awfully hard mentally so my diet and exercise routine took a massive hit ! After settling to the new home my routine got back to a decent schedule BUT my new weight when we met at fit for less that day is now 250lbs. And now my weight swings from 240-255 depending on the week. 😭😭😭 I ll b reassessing my diet I ve packed on the most muscle I’ve ever been able to build so I m kinda confused as to how much of my gained weight is muscle Vs fat. All due to that 1 set back

I’m overweight but I look skinny fat I was going to try to do 100 push ups a day for 30 days and eat better do u think I’ll see any muscle changes

So…when did the weight training begin ???

Great video. I would say that this plan might be on the intensive side of things tho. Definitely follow this plan for good results. I would say if you need time to build some discipline first, walking 30-60 min every day and going to the gym 2 times a week (or just trying out some bodyweight exercises at home) can be an amazing first step to get yourself into good habits while not burning out!

Inhale on the right exhale on the left.

Lol. That's me. I've lost a good amount of weight, and when time came for me to gain muscle, I was so afraid to eat because I didn't want to gain all that fat back.

I’ve been on a calorie deficit diet for about a year now. I started with a high deficit because I must’ve been around 24-26% body fat according to my not at all reliable calculations. Those calcs tell me that I now sit at 16-17%. I’m gonna be honest I thought I was gonna loose the fat faster especially because of the huge deficit I ran in the beginning. But the diet was sustainable and the best part: I’ve built muscle like never before in my life while losing fat. I would like to enter a gaintenance phase after summer. Let’s see if that works out for me. But I’m really anxious that I put on too much fat in that process.

My problem is. Before I started training I knew what my good weight was, so whenever I put fat on I knew how much I needed to lose to look good again. Once I started training my weight went up so standing on the scale would be frustrating because I no longer know what my good weight is with the added muscle weight. I am now trying to simply go by my clothes and mirror but after decades of standing on a scale it's not easy.

Bro" my respects to you 🫡🫡 well stated it 👏

What it is

I really think diet is the *most* important part of all of this, it's not about how much you eat or whether it's "organic" vs. "processed" so much as -- is it nutrient-rich, is it a type of nutrient that balances with other essential elements of good eating (carbs, fat, protein). Whole grain bread, tuna, chicken breast, ground or sliced turkey, low-fat yogurt, brown rice, eggs, these are all good food options that can help you lose weight, build muscle, or both. I think. It's worked for me, anyway 😅
