Actually oversharing is what I think makes your videos worth watching from start to finish not wanting to miss anything. Makes you more relatable like a friend instead of just a content creator.
I am currently in the worst shape I have ever been in my entire life. This is the first video of your I have ever seen, and I think it's exactly what I needed. I need to get my ass back into good shape, but first I need to drop as much of this excess fat as possible. Thank you.
Fun fact. Flushable wet wipes aren't actually 'flushable', in that they aren't biodegradable, regardless of what it says on the packet. They just clog up the sewers.
@@EasyJayce I lost 10kg in 6 months, but I did it slowly. It was a more sustainable approach for me because when I ate too little calories, I had no energy to finish my workouts
I just followed your methods and I'm now down 8kg! I'm just doing volume eating to ease the hunger brought by being in a calorie deficit and being consistent about the process.
@@jirish78 Eating low calorie foods which can be eaten in volume to make you full. Like cabbage and carrot. Unlike the infamous "calorie dense foods" such as cake that will make you less full/satiated and will make you tend to eat more.
This is great content. As an NHS primary care health and wellbeing coach this in the conversation I have with people several times a day. Seeing your version of how you explain the insulin train, is super helpful and something I will certainly be taking to use day to day. Thank you.
Being in a calorie deficit is a habit like anything else. Extreme loss is a tool but having the ability to repeat the deficit with a manageable, repeatable approach is what keeps it off.
Hey James, your content is amazing. Thank you for all of the hard work you've put into your channel. You've been such an inspiration and positive influence on my mental health. I even went and check out Garage JJ yesterday after a 2 year hiatus.
I lost a big amount about 5-6 years ago but noticed I've been slipping. Weighed myself, had put on nearly a stone. Honestly disappointed in myself but got back on it and have lost 4 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Not crash dieting. For me, I can do it for a bit then I go nuts and eat everything in sight!
i Love the way he talks says whatever comes to his mind without thinking its gonna hurt someone's feelings is Just want i am like and seeing you makes me like more and i ma stay and sub cuz i like the way you speak your style of saying things and the words you use . Good man + Good video
I lost 50 kg fat in one year. I went from 140 kg to 90 kg. Almost shreded and kept alot of muscle mass i worked for 10 years. What i did was going into extreme fasting. I would go many days with like 2 protein bars, vitamin supplements and a protein powder. I would do this periodically and then pause for couple of days sometimes even a week but not overest during pause. Imo the body can do extreme fat loss despite everyone saying do it slow. Alot is just extreme mental challenge but its doable. I didnt lose muscle strength either, workouts were mentally challenging but doable.
I've struggled with weight loss all my life and at 34, I've been hitting the gym for the last 3 months and not eating at such an aggressive deficit. Right now, I'm down 46lb / 21kg. Aggressive calorie deficits were probably the reason why I kept starting and stopping. So now I just eat 1000kcal under my TDEE and make sure I eat a lot of protein through non-processed foods and eating carbs that keep me full. I enjoy the gym 6 days a week and never feel what I am eating is "boring". Anyway, this post wasn't meant to brag about my success. I still have a way to go but I would say aggressive calorie deficit dieting was why I couldn't stick to diets and fitness - it just took me a long time to realise that. Now I live my life with a steady fat loss process while building muscle. My physical and mental health has never been better.
I'm on the same path. But I dont look at the weight. I use the mirror and if I'm happy (not happened yet) I cut down on the exercise but NOT stopping my reduced eating. Still eat exactly what I want, I just eat half of what I did before. Works for a 44 year old. Keep on crackin man.
@@PointyYT Yeah, it looks pretty wild but doing nothing has my maintenance at around 3200 and 2200 per day was if i did 5-6 days of intense exercises a week. I don't feel like I'm starving myself so I think its working fine
Another genuine brilliant video 👏 god i only dream that i could run with my top off, but id fear that my loose skin would flap up and down like the 4p bag for life on a wet day, 45p now we are paying in supermarkets in the Uk. Maybe after i saved all those 45p's i could fly to Turkey and get a summer special and get the slice and stitch three thousand 😂. Keep up the good work James
I lost 10 kg once. Just need to count calories and do cardio. Its doesnt happen everday, some days i went up, but once every couple of weeks I'd lose 2 kg overnight. Also ive a bidet with seat wamer. Bunnings have them.
Do not lose fat fast. I went from 275lbs to 135lbs in 7 months at the age of 18, ended up with an eating disorder and a life sentence of Dr prescribed TRT
You know that the vid was good when you're knackered and you keep smashing that like because drunk you don't realize you already liked... there's more.
Came here for yet another weight loss video because I don't think I can stop watching them until I reach my goals, and you've got me laughing out loud with your joke delivery every time :) Thanks homie
Big fan of your content James! Have you got any plans for a video for skinny guys looking to bulk/build muscle without getting skinny fat in the process? As a very skinny dude trying to gain weight, would love to see a video from you about it!
That would be the same method as everyone else who want to gain minimal amounts of fat while building muscle. Find you total daily expenditure with the calories you burn while training included, add a few hundred extra calories on that. Lift weights, weigh yourself daily and average it out over the week to monitor your weightgain. If you gain too much weight, lower calories, if you gain too little, increase calories.
Thanks but I was asking James if he’d make a fun video about it - not asking for the opinion of a random person. For example this video could be described by some random person as: Lose fat by eating fewer calories than you burn every day. But James made a fun video about it with some handy tips. To summarise: Asking James if he’d make a fun video for skinny guys - don’t care about opinion of some internet rando 👍🏻
one of the best purchases I've ever made was a heated toilet seat with a bidet. nice warm squirt and dry off with toilet paper. I feel like an animal if I poop somewhere else now, except for Japan, bless them.
im currently doing a fast drop. averaging 3-4 kilo down a week (i am 130kg+) half a pack of mince, cup of bone broth and a tin of mackerel for dinner. only 2 black coffees during the day and water. 7 kilo down in 2 weeks. 5 gym sessions a week, 10k+ steps a day and a round of golf at the weekend. feeling great so far.
Why are you exercising while on this? It's literally a waste of time and energy. You're not gaining anything as your body doesnt have anything to work with
I started extreme dieting 2 years and never stopped. Why? Because now that i am fit and a lot lighter, i literally can live with a cheese sandwich and a tuna salad every day. It's mindblowing that i am going to eat like this for the rest of my life, but i will
Im on a pretty strict routine. I do a fundamentals BJJ class 4 times a week, and an intermediate class + sparring 2 times a week. I hit the gym in the AM4 days a week for about 40 min. I get a 30 min walk with the dog every day. Im running around 2000 to 2400 calories per day. 40 years old, 220lbs, 6'3". Ive really hit a wall with fat loss. I lost the first 10 pounds really fast and then for the last 2 weeks- almost nothing. not sure why.
Well i lost a lot of weight in a short period of time but to be honest loosing the last kgs is a battle that i think will take more time than the whole process till now. I hope during the cutting phase ill manage to establish some habits regarding my nutrition and get used to the protein income. Btw. the JSA staff is great. First time in my life when someone is taking my issues seriously and answers my questions honestly and professionally without any benefits for them selfs ( during the trial period ). Im so sad i cant afford continuing the program.
Bro please a Elaborate on the beef and veg to cut for bjj. Got a holiday in 60 days sound like the perfect cut for me Come habibi share your secret sauce
You make a good point. To simplify all this fitness stuff, once you’re comfortable running without a shirt on, what else is there. Any more is just mental masturbation. I guess at the end of the day, there is only ‘fit’ or ‘not fit’. You’re either in one category or the other.
I'm 6'2, I was 327 pounds as of 5 months ago.. now 294... intend to get down to 230 in the next 18 months, I've started to slow down as I want to lower the chance of loose skin as much as possible so I'm going for about a 1.5 pounds a week..... so far it's going decent. 1200-1500 calories a day and on Sunday I let myself have 2k
Hey man, here's a little tip to avoid loose skin: go for high reps exercises, instead of 15 reps, use a lighter weight and do more reps, like 50 or even more" . I picked that up from David Goggins. If I recall it correctly he drooped over 100lbs in 2 months (or something crazy like that) without, getting loose skin. Doing high volume cardio and high reps. Good luck and keep it up ;)
The toiletpaper bit had me folded, never clicked so fast on the sub button before. We make it so hard on ourselfs, i really don't like the extreme methods because when you get to your weight you need to eat anyway so get good eating habbits from the start then it's easy to scale up or down depending on the situation. For me fasting worked fine, eating the last meal around 8 at night and first meal every day was lunch at work at 11, most important was getting rid of sauces, get all the proteins and veggies in and fill with good carbs and even if i was down ~500cals per day i never felt hungry besides the mornings wich i usually filled with drinking something like black coffee, zero/light sodas or water and i reached my goals slow and steady after 3 months. Weekends was usually the same but if someone wanted to eat out i didn't say not to that.
I'm over weight and was just wondering I'm only have around 1000 calories a day I used to have loads more then that as used to eat everything would this drastic change make a difference I run 2 times a week trying to loose weight
My brother dropped by one day after work,we were having a chat when he asked to use the tolet ,i said cool and he went in ,,,about 5 min later he came out walking like John Wayne and had a tear in his eye,i asked him what was wrong and he said where did you get them baby wipes ?,i said what baby wipes and went in to see ,only then to find he has used the flash wipes 🤣

Flushable wipes aren't flushable. There has been class action after class action showing they clog pipes and just don't break up.
Any plumber will tell you that flushable wet wipes are not in fact flushable
Agreed. In the bin. Even the biodegradable ones.
Absolutely they are marketed as flushable as they will flush as in disappear from the eye, but they wont break down 😂😂😂😂😂

Would be really interested in a video on training in 40s/50s. Lots of content online but not sure whether it’s all nonsense
Search massive iron
Curious why it would be any different than any other age
what i learned from this is to follow James around, rich and no zippy pockets = free floor cash

People should really start wiping with wet wipes. It’s so much cleaner!!
The dinosaur facts were my main takeaway here but I'll be back for more of the fitness stuff too!
This is not where i expected to learn how to do a no-handed mangina, but life is funny that way, and knowlegde is power. 😂
Also a fan of the wipes. It's become another chore.

“Flushable” wipes are really not good for the plumbing systems and for waste management because they don’t decompose like toilet paper…

lol the mangina explanation was completely legendary.
Honestly I just love your videos ❤
2 min in, what was the title of the video again?
The toiletpaper bit had me folded, never clicked so fast on the sub button before.

FYI, flushable wipes still shouldn't be flushed.
Think your bants are so much better, allways had but you crack me up, I know everthing you teaching but watch for the bants
