  • Getting ripped and lean and staying that way forever is not as complicated as some people make it out to be. In fact, it can be narrowed down to a list of just five things. In this video, I’m going to who you the 5 things that every ripped guy does that you can start doing yourself in order to get shredded and stay that way forever. No more bouncing up and down in body fat after watching this.
    To begin, ithelps to dispel some of the mistruths and inneffective methods in which people invest far too much time chasing fat loss and lower body fat levels. These include things like juice fasts and cleanses, not eating after 6pm at night, drinking apple cider vinegar within 30 minutes of waking and doing only fasted cardio. The issue is not that these methods aren’t capable of producing some changes on their own, but they are all short term and likely not able to be followed for ever. Throw in the fact that they produce incremental impacts on body fat levels and fat loss in the big picture and therefore have minimal abilities to make a real dent in getting lean.
    Instead, there are 5 science based mechanisms for losing fat that every ripped guy knows that you will need to copy if you want to unlock the true path to permanent leanness.
    First, no ripped guy that stays at low body fat levels forever diets. It just doesn’t happen. They have long ago figured out how to remove the word from their vocabulary and instead switched it out for the word nutrition. Though they both have to do with the food that you put in your body for fuel, the longevity of the approach varies greatly.
    Diets are short term, temporary fixes. They are often built around an approach to eating that is a big departure from what you are currently doing - often times centering around some form of deprivation. It is not uncommon for a diet to ask you to remove an entire food group or macro from your meal plan in order to produce its weight loss effects. The problem is, attempting an approach like this is almost always going to lead to long term failure since you cannot stay consistent with deprivation based strategies for long.
    Throw in the fact that the method you used to get down to the weight and body fat level you are at is often the same method that you are going to have to use to sustain your losses. If you can’t stick to the diet then this is going to lead to you putting back on the weight that you lost. On the other hand, when you eat healthy and enjoy the foods you eat you can stick to that style of eating forever.
    Next, you must drink enough water throughout the day. Staying hydrated will help you to differentiate between hunger and thirst and more importantly, prevent binge eating. It also helps your muscles perform at their best which will lead to more productive workouts and having an easier time building muscle. You should drink about one third of your bodweight in pounds in ounces of water to stay adequatlely hydrated.
    Speaking of building muscle, if given the choice between a cardio workout or weight training the guy that is ripped will show a preference every single time for the weight training workout. This is due to the fact that they know the biggest key to staving off body fat is to maximize lean muscle. The more muscle you carry the bigger your insulin storage depot is and insulin sensitivity.
    Next, you have to prioritize protein intake in your diet. This is especially true when you are at caloric maintenance or below. Ripped guys know that keeping their protein at around 1 gram per pound of bodyweight is a good target for staying lean year round.
    Finally, consistency is key. You must learn how to become consistent with your efforts in the above 4 areas if you want to get ripped and stay that way forever. For those that doubt their ability to be consistent, think about all of the bad habits you may have right now that you are very good at being consistent with. You just need to find the things that are healthier that you can stick to to replace them, and they are out there.
    If you are looking for a complete meal plan and workout program that will help you stay locked in year round head to athleanx.com and get your ATHLEAN-X training system.

      @@geno5169 most important is to use a calorie tracker. Weigh your portions and don't exceed your allowance. Be consistent with this above all else. Seasoning is your best friend. Sauces are deceptively high in calories and or sugar. If your losing, focus on chicken and fish, and turkey for your meat, and cube steak is a good beef to try. But honestly, most meats are going to work for you as long as you grill or bake it, and adhere to your calorie allowance. Try to expand your vegetable intake. I found that I liked many more veggies than I ever imagined I would. Keep an open mind. Brussels sprouts, asparagus, spinach, yellow and butternut squash, and boiled cabbage are a few in particular that surprised me. Many veggies can be found in mixed bag varieties in the frozen veggies section at your grocery, and can be very simple to prepare. A general rule is, that the more colorful your plate, the healthier it is. Do not drink your calories. Learn to love water. Coffee or tea is fine, but do not add sugar. Avoid pastas and breads, but potatoes and sweet potatoes are a good substitute for starch and carbs in moderation. Again, obey your calorie allowance.
      As far as exercising, this channel is already a great place to start. I also enjoy squat university's content. If you can afford it, consider a personal trainer. Make sure to include some cardio. If you're very heavy like I was, try biking, or an elliptical machine for a safer, lower impact experience.
      I hope this helps. Stick with it. It takes time and consistency.

Then start with counting your protein. Don’t change anything else. Seriously, not one thing until that one thing your focused on becomes such a habit that if you skip, you miss it.

My favorite advice so far being reiterated is “don’t diet.” Finding sustainability so that you can live well and hit your goals has been the greatest tip and has allowed me to eat all my favorite foods and look better than I ever have. Thank you so much Jeff, I don’t know where I’d be without this channel.

    Jeff, I needed to hear this. I'm currently cutting the last bit of body fat I have in an attempt to get under 10% body fat. I'm eating the lowest amount of calories ever thus far. My body fat is currently in low teens. I've noticed that my bench strength has gone down the last few weeks, and it's been majorly discouraging. I've hit a wall, stuck at a certain weight. I'm unable to progress in weight, and the reps I WAS able to do of the weight I'm stuck at is becoming fewer. Two weeks ago, I was repping the weight 5x. Last week, I was only able to rep the same weight 3x. This week, I'm barely able to hit the same weight 3x. It's nice to know there is a legitimate reason. It's even better to know that once I begin to increase my calories, my strength will come back. Now, I won't stress so much about it. Besides, stress kills gains! Cheers.

    Good advice for young men 20-40 who have a faster metabolism. But being 52 I tried everything he said and it didn't work to lose my love handles. What worked for me was apple cider vinegar empty stomach and taking a gentle walk EVERY day on the treadmill for 50 mins on an empty stomach. Why this worked for me? I burn 200 calories x 7 days = 1400. Then this is the same as having one day a week of a calorie deficit. Stay consistent like he says and now I have my body back as a 30-year-old. But I love this guy!!!

    • @TheBestOfMe88
      @TheBestOfMe88 2 місяці тому +2

      So what worked for you is basically calorie deficit? Jeff didn't say it directly but the nutrition part should incorporate calorie level allowing you to lose weight and stay at that level (or you could burn more calories by workouts like you did). Taking care of nutrition is not just eating healthy but without any control.

But all that happened was I growing muscle mass but my stomach just remained the same. So what worked for me was to use the fat stored in stomach (on an empty stomach) to power my walking in the morning. As this is what is designed for (to tap into my reserves!) Lol. So I never got hungry and then would wait as long as possible to break the fast. And I am still gaining muscle too with my punishing weights training later, and large doses of protein. Win, win.
