How to be fit: be Russian. Wtf bro some Russians live in a diet of only soup and vodka and they are ripped as fuck. I guess they naturally lose weight due to how cold it is there.
I gained like 8kg during my Finnish military service. The bakery products in the military cantina were really cheap. (I was in really good shape at the start of my service and I was a medic which was pretty chill other than needing to drag or carry someone every now and then.)

Never tell one of your friends to get into fitness without giving them a basic walk through because they just end up watching some fitness youtuber bullshit
gattsu, i love how genuine and interesting you are. keep making videos about topics you are passionate about and the fans will keep coming back. honestly, maybe a vlog someday would be cool. i know it sounds corny, but i'd enjoy it
I am sorry, but it's a fitness channel. You have bf for a reason. You are not healthy ripped. You are not healthy obese. You are probably weak with abs. You're deluded if you think abs isn't controlled starvation. You are healthier husky than ripped. Fitness channels aren't based on reality. You are deluded.
My father was a professional sprinter in the 90's, achieved silver on Ukraine's 100m in 1989 And to do that he just worked out 3 times a day, every single day of the week, while eating enough for him to be full, since there was no "bad food" in my country at all. He was a professional athlete, so he was going to the gym aswell, and he did all the normal things you've told in this video. It's honestly amazing that you have such a normal opinion on most of the things I consider great and honestly right to do or think about, so keep it up bro!

I will say 1 thing about calorie counting that's good: it really helps educate you on how much garbage you're eating. Sitting down and doing the math and realizing "ok i could have 6 slices of pizza as my entire meal... or 2 feasts of rice, sauteed veggies, and chicken" really helps break you from the habit of over eating and forces you to staet planning meals around what allows you to eat the most for the least amount of calories.
Dude this is probably the best fitness advice I've seen on youtube. You even touched on insulin resistance, which like nobody outside of academic circles is discussing right now. I love it! I think I'm gonna go for a walk now.
Im was an intermittent steroid user. I usually gain 12-15lbs per cycle. I get a shitload stronger. Then my cycle ended, and even with a pct, i lost almost everything and somehow ended up weaker than where I ran my cycle. My test levels crashed. Thats not even the worst part. The crippling depression and absolute loss of sex drive makes you want to end it all. I probably need to do TRT now for the remainder of my life just to be normal again. Not fucking worth it, man. Thank God I waited to hop on until my mid 30s instead of dealing with this shit in my late teens- early 20s.
For me, loosing weight was quite simple, I stopped eating as much sweats (like chocolate) and went to the gym 3 times a week with my best friend and the other 4 days I would do cadio at home, but I must admite its easier said then done because you need motivation to do this everyday, but luckely I got my best friend who support and motivated me through out the years. He is even more amazing because he lost all of his weight and gained a lot of muscles on his own, he motivated himself to be the best he can be and without any drugs.

Getting fit is so simple. Difficult, but simple. You just have to put the effort in and be consistent. That's literally it. It could be the gym, it could be running, boxing, etc. There is a world of complexity in any sport or discipline at the highest level.

Totally accurate man. Ihave a pretty physical job and what changed for me was having 5-6 meals a day instead of 3. During covid I was confined and didn't want to risk any others life by buying food online so I started rationing everything I had in my pantry and accidentally started losing weight. The key is to eat more often and less quantity.
As someone on a diet and trying to lose weight what you said is literally 100% facts bruh. My fatass lost 3.5kg in the first week and simply walking and doing some light exercises was enough for the fat reduction also intermittent fasting is a must I personally only eat between 12 PM to 8 PM which works like a charm. the only gripe I have with your video is that I prefer the superior Likani rather than the beta Borjomi
how do you prevent yourself from fainting? whenever i don’t eat a croissant for breakfast my blood sugar gets really low and i start to faint. btw i don’t have diabetus
A word of advice: be very careful with fasting or any diet. At the end of the day any diet works, the most important aspects are the habits you develop over time so you don't bounce back once you stop those diets. Diets tied to restrictions of any kind almost always have a yo-yo effect once dropped (because of reverting to old habits).
This was the one. I've started hitting the gym every single day. I got my heart broken this week. Working out is one of the only things that makes me think its going to be okay. I got a personal trainer. I'm done being the lazy sack of shit I've been for years. Thank you Gattsu more exercising vids please.
As a certified personal trainer this video is perfect and if my clients need easy advice I might just send this to them. The biggest thing with gaining muscle that people don't talk about is intensity IMO. You can do a 40 minutes every day, full body 3 hours twice a week, whatever. But if you aren't pushing your muscles at least close to true muscular failure you're not gonna gain muscle unless you're doing a crazy amount of sets. That means grunting, making ugly faces, and reps that last 3-5 seconds despite max effort. Like if you do 5 sets of pull ups close to failure you're probably getting the same buck as 15 sets of half assed pull ups and I guarantee you have neither the time nor energy for high volume low intensity. For very big compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, anything where your low back is at stake, maybe keep a few more reps in the tank. And for easy safe exercises like curls just go all the way to failure. Obviously this varies person to person
in countries with more walkable cities (like Sweden) obesity levels are much lower than in car dependant countries (like USA) so walking really does help also there's a negative correlation between coffee consumption and obesity because coffee has little calories but acts as an appetite suppressant, it can really help you eat less and be less hungy
Gattsu, thank you for this video. I gained 25 kg since October due to college since all I do is sit around all day and study. I just began doing some research about weight loss and you uploaded this at the right time. I will follow these recommendations you gave since they've been successful on your body and try to reach my goal.
This video feels like a godsend as just hearing this makes me feel like I can achieve a thinner body without nuking any chances of habits sticking. Definitely sharing this video.
There is this one guy at the gym I go to who uses steroids and the side effects are always showing on him and sometimes he just lashes out at people, yet somehow so many teenagers at the same gym who know he is on steroids want to do steroids even though they see the effects on him…truly sad
Last year I was unwittingly doing intermittent fasting, I never bothered to listen to those fitness influencer scammers. And over the course of time, I went from being 84kg to 58kg within like a few months. Didn't keep track, just realized how none of my clothes fit me anymore and measured myself one day. Now I'm ultra skinny and trying to get to a nice weight. I vouch for Gattsu 100%
Solid video, some good point, some bad points, only to go back to - calories in/calories out 😂 which is, in the end, the only thing that makes you actually lose weight.
I can vouch for walking as a great exercise I walk about 10-15 kms in a steel plant. Wanna guess how much I lost in 1.5 years 40 kgs so yeah walking is no joke. Also great video Gattsu I discovered ecco2k because of you and keep up the good work
@@centralintelligenceagency9003 You walk throughout your day + you can easily walk four miles in less than 90 minutes. Combine that with low caloric intake.
You have accurate described the two things that made me lose weight. 1. Tracking my weight every morning and 2. Intermittent fasting, which is really the secret sauce
Eating more healthy foods instead of thinking less bad food is the legit secret to dieting. Whenever I feel like my diet is out of whack I buy a shitload of chicken breast and vegetables and cook so much that I feel like I'm going to burst. If you sit down and do the maths you've still eaten less calories, hit all your macro and micro nutrients for the day AND you don't feel hungry in an hour. It's the legit way to diet. Eventually because you feel full most of the time your stomach ends up shrinking and you eat less naturally, feel full easier and the weight just melts off your body. I think that it such good advice 😊 what an inspiration, I hope you find everything you're searching for my Georgian brother 💜
this video legit changed my entire life. watched this the day it came out, was like a week or 2 before i applied (like half) the stuff in the video, and over the course of like 3-4 months, i went from a bmi of 32.something to 21.7, what i am last time i calculated my weight and height. i skipped breakfast, made dinner the last meal of the day, and starting walking for like an hour almost every other day (my goal was every day but i never got there, but despite my demotivation on that front it still worked out). also i have a note or a journal in my phone that is a list of my goals and how i'ma achieve them and the note is called "revoking my Canadian identity and sacrificing my soul to the glorious country of Georgia"
i want you to know how actually motivating all of these things were to hear. thank you bro. edit: after about 3 weeks I'm down 3 kg. I haven't necesssarily been fasting, just eating healthier. tbf I am eating like 1000 calories a day which I know isn't actually healthy but idk I make it work. Edit a year later: I went from peak 68kg (overweight for my height) to peak lowest 52kg (almost underweight) eating like 1000 calories, which I really underestimated how unhealthy that was. My mentality at the time was "I don't care about the muscle im losing, i just want to be skinny!!!". I really do regret it. There's a good chance I also stunted my growth a bit because this went on for about 6 months in an age where I should be growing and I did not grow at all. I started working out like 3 or 4 months ago and I'm bulking back up. At 61kg currently. Thank you Gattsu, this video really did change my life.
Indeed I lost my hair. Idiotic amount of acne. Depression and irritability. I don't know about liver but maybe. The worst part? I don't do steroids! What the hell with the personal attack? In any case don't do steroids.
No one told you that you can only lose one pound of fat per week “no matter how hard you try”. Literally no one said that, so idk how you heard that. An averaged sized person can lose a lot more than that, it’s just not healthy, nor is it sustainable.m Edit: okay, there’s a lot of misinformation in this video.
Having a garden is a nice hobby for mental health, you do 30min - 1h outside, you see the sun and you do stuff. Peaceful as fuck too. Gets your mind into a good mood for working on yourself
I already know all of this information, but I had to get it by myself. It took so many hours spread across so many months it was crazy. It’s very good that you give people the right education. Everybody should know this information. You also did it in a humorous way which made very good entertainment. Keep the good work up. Kids listen to him, he’s telling you the truth.
The annoying thing about most of the US's infrastructure is it's so unwalkable. It's deffo a reason behind our rising obesity. I'm lucky enough to live in an area where all my daily errands are within a 15 minute walk, so I can get all my base exercise without having to consciously psych myself up for a workout. It's a lot mentally easier to get exercise when you're actually completing a task, like going to the bank or grocery store. But in any case, it is unfortunately not always feasible for a lot of Americans to walk to anything when they live a 15 minute drive from the edge of the suburbs, and have the developed world's most asinine public transit. Idk why anyone thought this layout was a good idea.
Not necessarily tracking weight, it fluctuates with water, stress, muscle gain, etc. I would say measure your body. The circumference of your gut, thighs, and cake. Taking pictures every week, preferably on a sunday. I primarily do Kettlebells, Mace, Clubs, Jumprope, Bodyweight. I noticed massive change in my physique but still weighed near my starting weight. Also getting enough sleep is an important factor. Of course, all this is predicated on the life style you have or want.
If your gym has an elliptical machine just hop on that. Most of them nowadays give you an estimate on how many calories you have burned to. I lost 20lbs in 4 months and never changed my diet it all just depends on your workout.
Another thing that helps with weight loss or maintaining your weight - finish eating just as you are STARTING to feel full. Like 75% full, not 100%. I find when I watch people who are struggling with weight gain tend to just eat huge massive portions and only stop eating when they are super full. I've been skinny my whole live and I've never finished a plate or force myself to eat more when I'm just not physically hungry anymore. I eat like half a plate and save the rest for another meal time. You save money this way too! *source I was raised in a family with a lot of over weight issues. I'm the only thin member and I never over eat or eat small portions.
Hardest part of cutting weight is 1) Not going crazy when you're in the kitchen i.e. eating what you're supposed to without snacking or going overboard, I recommend drinking a lot of 0 calorie fluids with your meals so you get full faster. Drinks like water and Coke zero (literally a cheat code) work wonders and 2) staying busy between meals. If you're intermittent fasting and only eating 2 meals a day you want to spread them out. Get out of the house, go to class, do stuff instead of sit around waiting for the hunger to call you.
drinking water when youre hungry is an underrated hack when losing weight. However, it does increase your waterweight - which can be easily lost by doing cardio exercises and sweating a lot
intermittent fasting was a lifesaver for me bro. actually eating when u are hungry is so good cos the relief is insane it trained me to not want to snack on bs throughout the whole day
Guess I am chat GPT, back when I was losing weight. Sometimes I would eat a single Dorito to take away the craving. My friends thought it was a psychopath.
I was 124kg with 17 and lost 46kg till 18 and was 78kg, i started to enjoy life, running, parkour, working out. Best decision of my life. Eat more protein in a time window, walk more, and most important, drink water like 3l a day, do some light workouts to increase losing weight on certain parts of your body (like your belly or back) and you will be a beast. Don't overdo it tho, im back to 84kg now, and got a bit of a belly, but remember that being to skiny will make you weak, achieve a healthy weight and do not rush it if not needed, and remember to train sometimes to not lose muscle mass. Also thanks for the video gattsu and showing people what to do to be healthy and get in shape, and exposing those fucking fitness morrons that demotivate people like me back then, and showing a way to get better. 💪
the whole lose pound a week is more for leaning from a bulk to minimize muscle loss lol, great video also i can vouch for intermitten fasting. in like 11th grade i went from like 200lb butter ball, chubby kid, to 185ish lean with slightly visible abs. i started working out doing basic shit in my basement, but did it regularly, and was way better looking afterwards and now about 18+ months ago i got more serious into working out, and decided to bulk lol. my most was about 230lbs, and now im about 224lbs and tryna go down more lol. and aaaalso about roids; i saw a good alan thrall video about it. basically why take them unless youre a top of the top athlete/bodybuilder? it doesnt improve your career, family life, and it only harms your organs. stay natty bros
7:54 I didn't know this, I have sometimes experienced this 'good feeling' when "hungry", unintentional fasting when I was too focused on something to go eat
There is a lot of good information is this video but got to disagree with some of it 1. If you are really heavy like 100 lb (45kg ) overweight and you lose 6-7 pound per week you are at risk for loose skin and stretch marks not to mention 1 pound is very sustainable so you are more likely to keep it off 2. Carnivore , paleo, intermittent fasting are all way to keep consistent with the calorie deficit one isn't better than the other. Other than that banger video thank you for making it !
Losing it slow barely makes a difference in relation to loose skin. And having a little loose skin is 1000% more attractive and healthy than being fat.
I lost 35kg and built muscle after that. All the stuff in this video is absolutely spot on! Especially how important walking is. And yes, it is much more motivating being on a more aggressive weightloss plan than the usual 1lbs/week since you can see the results! This gives a positive feedback loop of "Hey, this is actually working! Better stick with it!" I would like to add that anything that tracks things like step counters, habit trackers, weightloss-excel etc. which visualize your progress really motivate and help you stay on the path.
Thank you gattsu it helps me a lot cause im 20y/o 1.79 and 98 kg and im trying to loose weight and i lose motivation very easily and cheat my diet and binge eat like a dumbfuck and then agonize that i fucked up and give up all together
Warm water helps against binge eating. My stomach feels full after that and my desire for a binge eating lessens. Might help you,but try it. It helped me when I was a fatfuck
@@sssIX86 tea as well, chamomile is the tea of choice I prefer for the evenings because it has less caffeine than green tea or black one. Just don't add any sugar and you're good. If there is anything you need just write me or I can add you on insta if you want a fitness advisor for free.
Don't know if this is good advice or not, but if you're prone to binge eating it might be worth mainly buying food from the shop that you have to prepare, as you're much less likely to binge eat food when you have to cook it every time. This worked in my case anyway.
Like Gattsu said, be kind to yourself. Beating yourself up over failure will only make it worse. Also remember when you start losing weight again you aren't starting from 0. Your experience is still there and you'll get back to where you were much faster.
7:30 Don't give me wrong you're suggestion works just fine, But it's actually at the 18 hour mark where your body starts to produce "key tones" which is one of the most Potent of the fasting enzymes. Ps I don't have the right spelling, so yeah.
I see youre not really knowledgeable about fitness. You should lose a pound a week because its the best way to lose fat and keep muscle, also the problem with loose skin would be less. Youre litterly just ranting not really understanding what youre saying
As someone who worked out regularly since 16 and tried one light cycle of anavar at age 38… my only regret was not doing it early. You only need a little and it’s literally 5x the amount of work. It’s like using 3G when your phone can handle 4g lol
Interesting set of advice, Gettsu. So far, I lost 20 pounds since February and do my best to do aerobics videos 3 times a week 10 minutes. I also go to the gym whenever I can every twice a week. And the reason for this regime is I gotten more sick since The COVID, so I am rebuilding my better regime gradually. Good video.
Rule 1: Everybody wants to sell something. Rule 2: Eat good fats (animal or mechanically-only processed plant oil (coconut, avocado, olive)) and less carbs (sugar, anything you find at a bakery, pasta, bread) Rule 3: The best daily dish you can have is 1/3 meat/fish + 2/3 veggies with butter - make it yourself Rule 4: Almost forgot - exercise is very good for you, esp. your mood and brainbox in general - but you wont see a difference at the scale But yeah, video is gold, gj
I agree with walking is one of the best exercise even for just an hour. But of course in my neighborhood where car dependency is the norm. its scary to go outside since sidewalks are small to non-existent and getting run-over is what keeps people from inside their homes all day. We have to drive everywhere just to go to a place that I can walk or even exercise to. Well that makes us fat, unhealthy, and lazy.

My fatass lost 3.5kg in the first week and simply walking and doing some light exercises was enough for the fat reduction also intermittent fasting is a must I personally only eat between 12 PM to 8 PM which works like a charm. the only gripe I have with your video is that I prefer the superior Likani rather than the beta Borjomi
Might have to move to Lithuania after this 😂
you mean 8pm two 12 am?
@@xxxx-rn3yu Oh i meant 12 pm to 8 pm with 8 hour time period for eating thx for correcting man.
how do you prevent yourself from fainting? whenever i don’t eat a croissant for breakfast my blood sugar gets really low and i start to faint. btw i don’t have diabetus
A word of advice: be very careful with fasting or any diet. At the end of the day any diet works, the most important aspects are the habits you develop over time so you don't bounce back once you stop those diets. Diets tied to restrictions of any kind almost always have a yo-yo effect once dropped (because of reverting to old habits).
GATTSU IS LITERALLY THE GOAT UA-camR. absolutely based, smart, funny and amazing.
This was the one. I've started hitting the gym every single day. I got my heart broken this week. Working out is one of the only things that makes me think its going to be okay. I got a personal trainer. I'm done being the lazy sack of shit I've been for years. Thank you Gattsu more exercising vids please.
Gattsu back at it again with another banger

Video was actually really helpful! I’ve kept making excuses and saying “oh I’ll do it tomorrow” but now I feel more confident! Thanks!
As a certified personal trainer this video is perfect and if my clients need easy advice I might just send this to them. The biggest thing with gaining muscle that people don't talk about is intensity IMO. You can do a 40 minutes every day, full body 3 hours twice a week, whatever. But if you aren't pushing your muscles at least close to true muscular failure you're not gonna gain muscle unless you're doing a crazy amount of sets. That means grunting, making ugly faces, and reps that last 3-5 seconds despite max effort.
Like if you do 5 sets of pull ups close to failure you're probably getting the same buck as 15 sets of half assed pull ups and I guarantee you have neither the time nor energy for high volume low intensity. For very big compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, anything where your low back is at stake, maybe keep a few more reps in the tank. And for easy safe exercises like curls just go all the way to failure. Obviously this varies person to person
my pre workout is two beers.
in countries with more walkable cities (like Sweden) obesity levels are much lower than in car dependant countries (like USA)
so walking really does help
also there's a negative correlation between coffee consumption and obesity
because coffee has little calories but acts as an appetite suppressant, it can really help you eat less and be less hungy
Svensk Gattsu-kollande person?
Gattsu, thank you for this video. I gained 25 kg since October due to college since all I do is sit around all day and study. I just began doing some research about weight loss and you uploaded this at the right time. I will follow these recommendations you gave since they've been successful on your body and try to reach my goal.

@@ChadKingOfficial bro why do you keep saying this everywhere lmao
The thumbnail aged liked some fine georgian wine
This video feels like a godsend as just hearing this makes me feel like I can achieve a thinner body without nuking any chances of habits sticking. Definitely sharing this video.
There is this one guy at the gym I go to who uses steroids and the side effects are always showing on him and sometimes he just lashes out at people, yet somehow so many teenagers at the same gym who know he is on steroids want to do steroids even though they see the effects on him…truly sad
Last year I was unwittingly doing intermittent fasting, I never bothered to listen to those fitness influencer scammers. And over the course of time, I went from being 84kg to 58kg within like a few months. Didn't keep track, just realized how none of my clothes fit me anymore and measured myself one day. Now I'm ultra skinny and trying to get to a nice weight. I vouch for Gattsu 100%
Solid video, some good point, some bad points, only to go back to - calories in/calories out 😂 which is, in the end, the only thing that makes you actually lose weight.
how do you always miss the Georgian athlete that's also the strongest human ever -Lasha Talakhadze in you Georgian clips?
Lasha is the goat

This was some of the most helpful, real, encouraging ,funny ,inspiring videos about weight-loss /gaining muscle ever .
I can vouch for walking as a great exercise I walk about 10-15 kms in a steel plant. Wanna guess how much I lost in 1.5 years 40 kgs so yeah walking is no joke. Also great video Gattsu I discovered ecco2k because of you and keep up the good work
Problem with walking is it takes a long ass time
@@centralintelligenceagency9003 You walk throughout your day + you can easily walk four miles in less than 90 minutes. Combine that with low caloric intake.
You have accurate described the two things that made me lose weight. 1. Tracking my weight every morning and 2. Intermittent fasting, which is really the secret sauce
You are so me Gattsu, I just walk every chance I have. I have been doing one hour for 6 or 7 times a week. Keeping it real Top G!
Eating more healthy foods instead of thinking less bad food is the legit secret to dieting. Whenever I feel like my diet is out of whack I buy a shitload of chicken breast and vegetables and cook so much that I feel like I'm going to burst. If you sit down and do the maths you've still eaten less calories, hit all your macro and micro nutrients for the day AND you don't feel hungry in an hour. It's the legit way to diet. Eventually because you feel full most of the time your stomach ends up shrinking and you eat less naturally, feel full easier and the weight just melts off your body. I think that it such good advice 😊 what an inspiration, I hope you find everything you're searching for my Georgian brother 💜
Gattsu gonna make it out da hood ong 🙏🏿🙏🏿

this video legit changed my entire life. watched this the day it came out, was like a week or 2 before i applied (like half) the stuff in the video, and over the course of like 3-4 months, i went from a bmi of 32.something to 21.7, what i am last time i calculated my weight and height. i skipped breakfast, made dinner the last meal of the day, and starting walking for like an hour almost every other day (my goal was every day but i never got there, but despite my demotivation on that front it still worked out). also i have a note or a journal in my phone that is a list of my goals and how i'ma achieve them and the note is called "revoking my Canadian identity and sacrificing my soul to the glorious country of Georgia"
i want you to know how actually motivating all of these things were to hear.
thank you bro.
edit: after about 3 weeks I'm down 3 kg. I haven't necesssarily been fasting, just eating healthier. tbf I am eating like 1000 calories a day which I know isn't actually healthy but idk I make it work.
Edit a year later: I went from peak 68kg (overweight for my height) to peak lowest 52kg (almost underweight) eating like 1000 calories, which I really underestimated how unhealthy that was. My mentality at the time was "I don't care about the muscle im losing, i just want to be skinny!!!". I really do regret it. There's a good chance I also stunted my growth a bit because this went on for about 6 months in an age where I should be growing and I did not grow at all. I started working out like 3 or 4 months ago and I'm bulking back up. At 61kg currently. Thank you Gattsu, this video really did change my life.

As a server who is on her feet for 10-12 hour shifts without breaks, I lost 10 pounds when busy season started 😂😂 Do not sleep on walks
Honestly good advices, this exactly what my father did, including not eating sugar and carbs to made his body prepare to digest fat

Indeed
I lost my hair.
Idiotic amount of acne.
Depression and irritability.
I don't know about liver but maybe.
The worst part?
I don't do steroids!
What the hell with the personal attack?
In any case don't do steroids.
My man spitting facts, you know Gattsu knows what it's like to be poor and humble when he says shit like this.
Much love from Chile bro.
No one told you that you can only lose one pound of fat per week “no matter how hard you try”. Literally no one said that, so idk how you heard that. An averaged sized person can lose a lot more than that, it’s just not healthy, nor is it sustainable.m
Edit: okay, there’s a lot of misinformation in this video.
This man is a menace if society! Thanks Gattsu for this Certified Hood Classic

Having a garden is a nice hobby for mental health, you do 30min - 1h outside, you see the sun and you do stuff. Peaceful as fuck too.
Gets your mind into a good mood for working on yourself
I already know all of this information, but I had to get it by myself. It took so many hours spread across so many months it was crazy. It’s very good that you give people the right education. Everybody should know this information. You also did it in a humorous way which made very good entertainment. Keep the good work up. Kids listen to him, he’s telling you the truth.
The annoying thing about most of the US's infrastructure is it's so unwalkable. It's deffo a reason behind our rising obesity.
I'm lucky enough to live in an area where all my daily errands are within a 15 minute walk, so I can get all my base exercise without having to consciously psych myself up for a workout. It's a lot mentally easier to get exercise when you're actually completing a task, like going to the bank or grocery store.
But in any case, it is unfortunately not always feasible for a lot of Americans to walk to anything when they live a 15 minute drive from the edge of the suburbs, and have the developed world's most asinine public transit. Idk why anyone thought this layout was a good idea.
Man I wish I had more friends like Gattsu , always keeps it a buck
I just run around really fast and try not to eat too much crap
it's amazing how many different people are picking up and spreading the no bs approach to fitness

walking is s tier. walk everywhere. to the shops, to work, and if you live in a hilly area you'll notice your legs getting stronger
This is literally one of the best videos on the internet. Very informational and entertaining. Amazing work!
Bro I need to gain, not lose weight 💀
Not necessarily tracking weight, it fluctuates with water, stress, muscle gain, etc. I would say measure your body. The circumference of your gut, thighs, and cake. Taking pictures every week, preferably on a sunday.
I primarily do Kettlebells, Mace, Clubs, Jumprope, Bodyweight. I noticed massive change in my physique but still weighed near my starting weight. Also getting enough sleep is an important factor.
Of course, all this is predicated on the life style you have or want.
If your gym has an elliptical machine just hop on that. Most of them nowadays give you an estimate on how many calories you have burned to. I lost 20lbs in 4 months and never changed my diet it all just depends on your workout.
Gattsu I dare you to go to Rustavi and drink water there (impossible)
As a person who was born and living in rustavi, our water is very clean (im lying)
@@suplynx8545 Radiation Probably fucked your brain
bro told him to kill himself lmao
What water? We don't have any water in Rustavi.
@@nortox5324 martalia, majobe.
Another thing that helps with weight loss or maintaining your weight - finish eating just as you are STARTING to feel full. Like 75% full, not 100%. I find when I watch people who are struggling with weight gain tend to just eat huge massive portions and only stop eating when they are super full. I've been skinny my whole live and I've never finished a plate or force myself to eat more when I'm just not physically hungry anymore. I eat like half a plate and save the rest for another meal time. You save money this way too!
*source I was raised in a family with a lot of over weight issues. I'm the only thin member and I never over eat or eat small portions.
4:34 BRO 💀 i just love your vids
This needs to be on trending. Great advice overall and good expose on the largely fake fitness influencer crowd.
Hardest part of cutting weight is 1) Not going crazy when you're in the kitchen i.e. eating what you're supposed to without snacking or going overboard, I recommend drinking a lot of 0 calorie fluids with your meals so you get full faster. Drinks like water and Coke zero (literally a cheat code) work wonders and 2) staying busy between meals. If you're intermittent fasting and only eating 2 meals a day you want to spread them out. Get out of the house, go to class, do stuff instead of sit around waiting for the hunger to call you.
Gattsu you are doing god's work, thank you so much
Might have to move to Lithuania after this 😂
drinking water when youre hungry is an underrated hack when losing weight. However, it does increase your waterweight - which can be easily lost by doing cardio exercises and sweating a lot
damm I didnt expect my fav georgian youtuber to be sponsored by WoT
Man, your little clips that you selected are awesome! hannibal for king, prison ramen recipe, rocky 4 😂 thanks for the nice video!

intermittent fasting was a lifesaver for me bro. actually eating when u are hungry is so good cos the relief is insane it trained me to not want to snack on bs throughout the whole day
Someone give this man an award
Guess I am chat GPT, back when I was losing weight. Sometimes I would eat a single Dorito to take away the craving. My friends thought it was a psychopath.
I think you have mental strength your "friends" will never be able to achieve.
As a 15yr fitness enthusiast and coach I unironically say this is one of the best fitness education videos I've seen oN UA-cam. Congrats Gattsu!
I was 124kg with 17 and lost 46kg till 18 and was 78kg, i started to enjoy life, running, parkour, working out. Best decision of my life. Eat more protein in a time window, walk more, and most important, drink water like 3l a day, do some light workouts to increase losing weight on certain parts of your body (like your belly or back) and you will be a beast. Don't overdo it tho, im back to 84kg now, and got a bit of a belly, but remember that being to skiny will make you weak, achieve a healthy weight and do not rush it if not needed, and remember to train sometimes to not lose muscle mass. Also thanks for the video gattsu and showing people what to do to be healthy and get in shape, and exposing those fucking fitness morrons that demotivate people like me back then, and showing a way to get better. 💪
what about walking on treadmills?
Gattsu would be the only fitness channel I could trust if he were one

She's 13...
No way
i was shocked when i saw the exercise because i had lost weight the same way when i used to be young and fat
the whole lose pound a week is more for leaning from a bulk to minimize muscle loss lol, great video
also i can vouch for intermitten fasting. in like 11th grade i went from like 200lb butter ball, chubby kid, to 185ish lean with slightly visible abs. i started working out doing basic shit in my basement, but did it regularly, and was way better looking afterwards
and now about 18+ months ago i got more serious into working out, and decided to bulk lol. my most was about 230lbs, and now im about 224lbs and tryna go down more lol.
and aaaalso about roids; i saw a good alan thrall video about it. basically why take them unless youre a top of the top athlete/bodybuilder? it doesnt improve your career, family life, and it only harms your organs. stay natty bros

Did 100 squats while watching this, thank you Gattsu ❤
Based as always,you are my favorite Georgian.
7:54 I didn't know this, I have sometimes experienced this 'good feeling' when "hungry", unintentional fasting when I was too focused on something to go eat
There is a lot of good information is this video but got to disagree with some of it 1. If you are really heavy like 100 lb (45kg ) overweight and you lose 6-7 pound per week you are at risk for loose skin and stretch marks not to mention 1 pound is very sustainable so you are more likely to keep it off 2. Carnivore , paleo, intermittent fasting are all way to keep consistent with the calorie deficit one isn't better than the other. Other than that banger video thank you for making it !
Losing it slow barely makes a difference in relation to loose skin. And having a little loose skin is 1000% more attractive and healthy than being fat.
dude hell yeah. I'm not going to fast. Doesn't work well with my body and anxiety but kickass video and kickass advice. 10/10
I lost 35kg and built muscle after that. All the stuff in this video is absolutely spot on!
Especially how important walking is.
And yes, it is much more motivating being on a more aggressive weightloss plan than the usual 1lbs/week since you can see the results! This gives a positive feedback loop of "Hey, this is actually working! Better stick with it!"
I would like to add that anything that tracks things like step counters, habit trackers, weightloss-excel etc. which visualize your progress really motivate and help you stay on the path.

Thank you gattsu it helps me a lot cause im 20y/o 1.79 and 98 kg and im trying to loose weight and i lose motivation very easily and cheat my diet and binge eat like a dumbfuck and then agonize that i fucked up and give up all together
Warm water helps against binge eating. My stomach feels full after that and my desire for a binge eating lessens. Might help you,but try it. It helped me when I was a fatfuck
@@vassilyvodka2638 does warm tea have the same effect ? Ill try that thank you for the tip brattan
@@sssIX86 tea as well, chamomile is the tea of choice I prefer for the evenings because it has less caffeine than green tea or black one. Just don't add any sugar and you're good. If there is anything you need just write me or I can add you on insta if you want a fitness advisor for free.
Don't know if this is good advice or not, but if you're prone to binge eating it might be worth mainly buying food from the shop that you have to prepare, as you're much less likely to binge eat food when you have to cook it every time. This worked in my case anyway.
Like Gattsu said, be kind to yourself. Beating yourself up over failure will only make it worse. Also remember when you start losing weight again you aren't starting from 0. Your experience is still there and you'll get back to where you were much faster.
7:30
Don't give me wrong you're suggestion works just fine, But it's actually at the 18 hour mark where your body starts to produce "key tones" which is one of the most Potent of the fasting enzymes.
Ps I don't have the right spelling, so yeah.
I see youre not really knowledgeable about fitness. You should lose a pound a week because its the best way to lose fat and keep muscle, also the problem with loose skin would be less. Youre litterly just ranting not really understanding what youre saying
As someone who worked out regularly since 16 and tried one light cycle of anavar at age 38… my only regret was not doing it early. You only need a little and it’s literally 5x the amount of work. It’s like using 3G when your phone can handle 4g lol
Interesting set of advice, Gettsu. So far, I lost 20 pounds since February and do my best to do aerobics videos 3 times a week 10 minutes. I also go to the gym whenever I can every twice a week.
And the reason for this regime is I gotten more sick since The COVID, so I am rebuilding my better regime gradually. Good video.
Walking and riding my bicycle helped me lose like 40 lbs
Rule 1: Everybody wants to sell something.
Rule 2: Eat good fats (animal or mechanically-only processed plant oil (coconut, avocado, olive)) and less carbs (sugar, anything you find at a bakery, pasta, bread)
Rule 3: The best daily dish you can have is 1/3 meat/fish + 2/3 veggies with butter - make it yourself
Rule 4: Almost forgot - exercise is very good for you, esp. your mood and brainbox in general - but you wont see a difference at the scale
But yeah, video is gold, gj
that 1 nanosecond of sasageyo made me happy af as aot fan. thanks you gattsu, I love you
I agree with walking is one of the best exercise even for just an hour. But of course in my neighborhood where car dependency is the norm.
its scary to go outside since sidewalks are small to non-existent and getting run-over is what keeps people from inside their homes all day.
We have to drive everywhere just to go to a place that I can walk or even exercise to. Well that makes us fat, unhealthy, and lazy.
"go outside, breathe the fresh air, see nature, you will be happier!"
