Congrats Hamza, I can't tell you how much you made me grow as a man, to focus on myself and my daily life, you changed my life dude, thank you and the best of luck in hitting those 500k ¡I know you will!
First week in. Bloating is gone, energy is higher, more focus, less cravings. And my skin seems clearer. The fasting is also way easier with the proteïne shakes. Incredible Hamza!
@@edwardcolon3246 I usually only drink 1 protein shake with water during the fast at 12 and have a few coffees/water before. When I'm doing heavy work, I might have another shake at 14:00 to ease my mind. And start eating at 15:00 till 21:00. I'm no expert, but I don't feel hungry at all, to be honest. I would say 1 shake or 2 shakes doesn't break the fast bro
It definitely breaks the fast but it’s a different kind of fast so yolo. If you’re fat, you don’t need it. Good for beginners though to get prepared for a real fast
@@edwardcolon3246 it does break your fast, but I recommend at least 16 hours of fast for Hormon Release and if u then break it, do without carbs and if u can last meal without too
May 17, 2022, weighed in at 303 lbs and started my diet - Intermittent fasting (eat between noon-8pm), drink 1 gallon of water a day, track calories using myfitnesspal and eat at a deficit, go on a daily 2 mile walk (takes 30-35 min). Today is October 16, 2022, and I currently weigh 229 lbs.
Thanks for the positive vibes everyone! The next few months will be the true test with winter coming but I am as motivated as ever. Hopefully by spring I am closer to my goal, which is somewhere in the 180lb range. Today is November 2 and i clocked in at 224lbs.

Gluconeogenesis will convert protein into glucose to use as a fuel source during fasting, which is why protein will pull someone out of ketosis if they're not consuming adequate amounts of fat. Carbs are protein sparing, so you might as well eat complex carbs along with protein anyway. Highly recommend you read "The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition" by Anita Bean, it will give you a very in-depth understanding of nutrition as a whole.
@@AlejandroMenacho1 Yes that is essentially what catabolism is, we eat carbohydrates because not only do they saturate the muscle and liver with glycogen to be used as energy, but they spare the protein from getting used as a fuel source, as well as spare your lean tissue from being catabolized for energy. (And I say fat for ketosis as ketones from free fatty acids are the primary fuel source while in ketosis, if you eat too much protein and not enough fat while in ketosis, your body will convert the protein to glucose for energy and pull you out of ketosis). If you are trying to make gains you do NOT want to neglect carbohydrates and think of insulin as the devil, as insulin stimulates IGF-1 and promotes growth.
@fir st Hey mate, nope, I have just been in the fitness industry for the last 15 years and have seen a lot of bro science. I just suggest the author Anita Bean, as her books are specifically for elite level sport where nutrition is critical and she really lays it out in a clear format. UA-camrs often get stuck with a dogmatic approach, not fully understanding nutrition and how the body responds to it, especially in the context of athletes vs couch potatoes. I don't necessarily agree with the information provided by Hamza, but as a general rule of thumb I do agree with his wholefoods approach and cutting out refined sugars and nutrient deficient, processed foods.
Do u recommend protein powder for daily protein requirement for human body along for cutting loosing belly fat protein powder is good source of maintaining muscle mass...
I believe what you’re saying. I’ve managed my diet by eating clean, chicken, rice, fish, steak and vegetables. In two to three months of consistent cardio and weight lifting I was able to achieve a very nice physique. I didn’t track my macros, I ate 3 times a day and just made sure I ate non fatty foods.
Thank you for this channel bro the diet is just that simple with out the artificial meal plans! Finally someone on UA-cam said it! I never agreed with the micronutrients number and everything I just always thought that was a way of to get business and politics involved with the health and fitness as a trainer who was always skeptical about other trainers and coaches thank you again ‼️
The most intelligent infrmation I have heard about maintaining a healthy body and mind ever and I am 58 and have worked on body health and nutrition for over 40 years. Thank you for this very productive and FREE lesson and for removing all of the bullshit. Very honest very smart Hamza
Great content man, you hit it really much right on the head. I tried an experiment because I read your body can process about 30g of protein per hour. I drank a protein shake on the hour the entire time I was awake for about 8 months my muscle gains were massive.
yo hamza, two months ago i was a a little shit with big ambition and taking no action. bad habits tore my life apart and made me into a bad person. The last two months I've been working fulltime, doing fulltime college, studying, working out, and working on myself. You gave me the final push that I needed to turn my life around. thanks.
for anyone watching this, you don't have to make big changes immediately. If you feel overwhelmed by it, start small. Every time I did a sudden change of lifestyle I found myself not being able to keep it up for long because it's really hard to break those bad habits. Instead what I did, was I gradually moved to a healthier lifestyle. I started with cooking at home, even if it still was the same kind of food. Instead of eating a big mac I would make a burger at home. I would make homemade pan pizza instead of getting delivery. it gave me more control over what I was eating and those foods were much more filling while eating less calories. It's still not healthy, but it was a step in the right direction. From there, it's not as hard to start slowly incorporating healthier ingredients and moving to healthier meals. that's exactly what I did. It's a whole journey and it's so satisfying to look back at the progress I made in being mindful of my daily diet I found this way to be the best for me. Now I eat much fewer calories, and I often find I eat too few calories even though I feel completely full after every meal Obviously, this is just my experience. I know people who would much rather change everything at once than making a slow change. Every person is different, so don't feel dejected if you fail, pick yourself back up and try again to find what's best for you.
I needed this info. This is the key to my success. I can workout everyday but without the proper diet I risk losing muscle with the fat. This diet allows u to gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously 🙏🏼
That sounds very healthy for a woman. You're not supposed to get down into the low fat levels men have. It's not healthy, even if models and movie stars and that one girl you know all do.
This video is fantastic for people like me who want to get into a better diet for muscle gain/ reducing fat but don't want to measure out every single meal and confuse things. Thanks.
Hamza, I wanted to say: thanks to your advice regarding weight loss and the video you made about hitting specific muscle groups has helped me so much! I’ve noticed the improvements already and it’s been 4-5 months since I started the training. Thank you. Thank you for being honest and wholesome. Your awesome man! If you ever come down to Hertfordshire let me know!
I’m giving up creatine and caffeine and really focusing on having an actual plan when I go into the gym tomorrow instead of winging it. Dieting is my hardest part and it’s always so discouraging when so many people say not to run in a bulk because it’s counterintuitive, but I love it so I’m doing it again
Man, thank you. Your videos and information really helps and is hellong me get on a better path. Ranging from overall health to attractiveness and etc.
This explained the biggest struggle i've had in terms of fitness and becoming shredded, thank you for this! I struggle with self image issues and food in general so I never feel a 100% like I am doing the right eating "diet" and meal plans. You've helped me a ton. Thank you!
I'm a 12 yr old boy and I've been addicted to p*** ever since i was 10. I've been watching your videos lately and have been passing all my tests and have been working out a lot. I even grew a little bit of abs. I appreciate what you're doing to young boys and men like me. My mom and my family are also proud of me and I'm never insecure to talk to others. Thanks for opening my eyes, you truly are Adonis.
I’m 16 and I’m 3 days strong nofap. I’ve found what helps me stay off it is music and everytime I feel like I’m gonna do it I just do a 5-10 minute workout. He’s truly magical.
Just started watching your videos and i love to hear you talking about the gut microbiome! I'm halfway through the book Brain Maker right now and realising how important gut health really is
Hamza, this stream changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This stream represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this stream I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite stream, I will never forget this experience.
@hamza , I've been going through depression and heart breaks the past few months. I wanted to tell you that your videos inspire me and made a positive impact on me, and really taught me what masculinity is. I was always told that I need to follow orders, be submissive, and quite. While these traits have their place and time, your videos showed me that a man rebels against those traits in the right circumstances in order to protect the tribe, himself, and his honour. I aspire to be like you, but most importantly, I endeavour to be better than my best.... To will upon the maxim of men: to protect, to love, to lead. God bless you hamza, you're the best.
@@Jojo-wq4fy if you still want advice, my advice would be get enough rest, do not give up, be responsible in health and lifestyle, and seek help if needed. You got this
Damn bro good info. It’s crazy how important protein is. I did this diet for a month and I lost so much fat but gained muscle and stayed the same weight. My girl loved it. I’m starting back up
December 10th, 2022. I'm sick of living the way I am and need change. I've let stupid food get in the way of getting the body I want and deserve. That all changes today. In 90 days, I want to see a positive change in my overview of life and my body. I will post updates about my progress monthly to keep me motivated. I'm going to stay loyal to myself and focus on future me's happiness and not present me. I have notifications on so I won't forget.
I have a trainer with two PhD's. What's said here seems pretty in line with everything that's helped me. Went from 230lbs to 165lbs and I've stayed at 165lbs for over a year now even with little spurts of bad eating. My best advice would be to find something other than looks to motivate you. Looks aren't enough for most people because at a certain point we begin to tell ourselves that we don't care what others think. My internal motivation came from wanting to learn and eventually improve my jiujitsu. I used to compete in the 210-230lbs divisions as a fatty, way weaker than my super musclebound opponents. Now I compete at -165lbs lean not quite shredded yet. Wanting to lose weight for jiujitsu far outweighed my desire to look good for others. Just my experience and my thoughts though.
So you went from 210-230 pounds to -165? Did you lose that much that you floated upward? What's the weather like up there in space? Jokes aside, excellent work mate!
The book How not to die is definitely required reading for micros, general health, and stopping the most common causes of death. Also boys look into the ‘base ingredient’ stuff by researching whole food diets
Man, I am on the right path joining you. You just confirmed what I started doing a month ago which is about eating complex carbs to fill calories and to hit protein goals which is the most important. I am already seeing a good difference. Struggling with fat loss but I am sure keeping up on this, will get there as well.
Stop eating carbs and sugar, no protein shakes either. Eat real protein like meat, sea food, poultry and you have to eat good fat or natural fat from meat. Your fat will melt off.
Congratulations on 100k Hamza, Been a viewer since a year now, thank you for being a brother to us, hope you get more success in your life as you continue to change lives
Hamza you are amazing, i’m 15 and see a whole lot of similarities with us, i’ve learned so much from you and I can trust you. keep it up man and don’t change.
After re-watching this video and getting some knowledge here are some more tips that you can make use of 1. Don't take protein on an empty stomach if your body doesn't have much fuel to use (protein is an essential nutrient it can also be used as energy unlike carbs this info is only to reduce your cost). 2. Whey protein absorption rate is 10g per hour, muscle synthesis spikes really well after taking it and don't take a lot of it at once because the muscle synthesis spikes to a certain level and 20-40g protein hits the spot(another cost effective tip) . 3. Carbs aren't an enemy of yours they provide you energy to do the task but processed carbs are (eat clean as hamza said). 4. Fats are essential for hormone regulation( don't cut them completely eat good fats ). 5. If you are fat cut your calories depending on your current level, A good rule of thumb is heavy body requires more energy to become to work do keep that in mind and set your caloric deficit and make it more aggressive as you become thinner (eat clean with the right mindset ). 6. Proteins derived from plants aren't complete except soya and plant based protein powder so make sure to have at least 50 percent of protein foods to be derived from animals or dairy. 7. If you eat clean you'll only have to measure just protein intake (and calories if you want to cut down fat). 8. Never die as a Jeffery keep doing something to become better and fitness is one thing that actually improves the quality of life so never ever be cheap when it comes to fitness and contribute to society to be capable enough to fulfill your fitness needs and much more.(For the people who are in a tough time while reading this all the best)
for 120g i need to take in 40g 3x daily, so with every meal? i have either lentils or beans every day, so would be a complex plant based power 2x daily enough to get all AA? (vegan lifestyle)
Hello ☺️ I really love following your workouts and respect how hard you work. It’s so motivating 💪🏽 I just started my weight loss journey this week and am documenting it on my channel
Ingredient diet. Perfect! I have been telling people for years that this is the best diet to be on for your health. You are the 1st person I have ever heard mention this. Bravo!
I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. I did my undergrad in Kinesiology and exercise performance, health, and wellness/fitness has always been the type of research I gravitate towards. Having more knowledge than the general population I've always watched diet/fitness videos with an extreme amount of skepticism because like you said earlier in the video, most fitness advice on youtube Is bullshit, and my younger self also listened to the non-sense. Knowing what I know now and listening to the video, and being unable to disagree with any of the advice given just speaks volumes about the value and accuracy of the information provided. for those reading comments, Hamza is right, this is pretty much the way to go about things, the protein suggestions and intermitted fasting advice become a bit muddy and definitely depend on preference/goals but for the most part, the advice he gives is probably the best thing to suggest to people in practicality, just off the sustainability principle. This advice is the real deal, don't listen to the other UA-camr fitness nonsense bullshit.
I agree, the only thing Im skeptic about is the protein during the fasting window. If Im correct, protein will spike your insulin thus making your "fasting" not a fasting (an average protein shake w/ water and 1 scoop is like 120cals). The thing is, do you profit more from the fasting or the protein synthesis..
Your videos have made me 100x more confident over the time that I've watched you, I went from a slight Jeffery to a Full fledged Adonis, thank you King. ❤
Awesome guide! Ive been on my own health journey and this is the closest thing to synthesized good information ive heard! One addition is fermented food. The gut microbiome in western society is so deprived that most peoples guts dont even have the right bacteria anymore, fermented food and probiotics will help restore a healthy biome that you can then fuel with a high fiber diet (veg and fruits)
I haven't even watched this vdo yet but still believe in Hamza because he is one who pushed to gym ,health and mental improvement. Just loving this guy
enjoyed my huge smoothie to get broccoli in every day... smoothie is Blueberries, banana, avocado, spinach, broccoli, double thick plain yogurt, honey and an apple. It was about 1.5 litres for my breakfast... then eggs for lunch and meat for supper...
You hit the nail on the head. Eat foods that aren't processed or have an ingredient list. The way we were intended to eat if we lived in nature or on our own without restaurants and grocery stores.
I generally agree. The easiest way to eat less calories is to just eat raw veggies with every meal. I also replaced all my sweets with nice fruits. Like an ananas or half a watermelon instead of ice or snacking on a banane, strawberries or grapes instead of cookies and chocolate. Wayyyy more volume per calorie.
Gonna try this starting Monday. Will come back to this video and post my results in about 3-6months. Current weight- 185pounds, 133pounds of muscle, and 23% body fat. Ideal goal is 155-165 overall weight with 12-15% body fat. Muscle will vary since I changed from traditional weight lifting to calisthenics. Wish me luck fellas.
@@bomboclarttt321 a body fat calculator online can rough estimate if you have measurements for height weight, neck circumference and waist circumference (hip circumference also for women)
I'm so goddamn grateful to my parents for forcing the habit of eating healthy food onto me, it's not even difficult for me to stick to a diet because of it. Now I don't have a problem maintaining a healthy diet and I can focus on different aspects of self-improvement.
lets go boys 100k. 500k next july or I'm a Jeffery

Gluconeogenesis will convert protein into glucose to use as a fuel source during fasting, which is why protein will pull someone out of ketosis if they're not consuming adequate amounts of fat. Carbs are protein sparing, so you might as well eat complex carbs along with protein anyway. Highly recommend you read "The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition" by Anita Bean, it will give you a very in-depth understanding of nutrition as a whole.
So to clarify, basically your body will use up your protein when it doesn’t have enough carbs/fat left?
@@AlejandroMenacho1 Yes that is essentially what catabolism is, we eat carbohydrates because not only do they saturate the muscle and liver with glycogen to be used as energy, but they spare the protein from getting used as a fuel source, as well as spare your lean tissue from being catabolized for energy. (And I say fat for ketosis as ketones from free fatty acids are the primary fuel source while in ketosis, if you eat too much protein and not enough fat while in ketosis, your body will convert the protein to glucose for energy and pull you out of ketosis).
If you are trying to make gains you do NOT want to neglect carbohydrates and think of insulin as the devil, as insulin stimulates IGF-1 and promotes growth.
@@Seqhael Thank you this helps a lot!
@fir st Hey mate, nope, I have just been in the fitness industry for the last 15 years and have seen a lot of bro science. I just suggest the author Anita Bean, as her books are specifically for elite level sport where nutrition is critical and she really lays it out in a clear format. UA-camrs often get stuck with a dogmatic approach, not fully understanding nutrition and how the body responds to it, especially in the context of athletes vs couch potatoes. I don't necessarily agree with the information provided by Hamza, but as a general rule of thumb I do agree with his wholefoods approach and cutting out refined sugars and nutrient deficient, processed foods.
Do u recommend protein powder for daily protein requirement for human body along for cutting loosing belly fat protein powder is good source of maintaining muscle mass...
Also kudos to Sam for the consistently banging editing, the videos would be nowhere as good without him
Thanks bro really appreciate the kindness xx
I believe what you’re saying. I’ve managed my diet by eating clean, chicken, rice, fish, steak and vegetables. In two to three months of consistent cardio and weight lifting I was able to achieve a very nice physique. I didn’t track my macros, I ate 3 times a day and just made sure I ate non fatty foods.
Thank you for this channel bro the diet is just that simple with out the artificial meal plans! Finally someone on UA-cam said it! I never agreed with the micronutrients number and everything I just always thought that was a way of to get business and politics involved with the health and fitness as a trainer who was always skeptical about other trainers and coaches thank you again ‼️
Straight to the point, no bullshit and you’re very genuine Hamza. If anyone ever needs fitness tips or more confidence this is the guy
The most intelligent infrmation I have heard about maintaining a healthy body and mind ever and I am 58 and have worked on body health and nutrition for over 40 years. Thank you for this very productive and FREE lesson and for removing all of the bullshit. Very honest very smart Hamza
Whatt 😧 you don't look a day over 30
@@Skully_boy that's what fitness does to your body. That's exactly i changed my lifestyle 😉
Great content man, you hit it really much right on the head. I tried an experiment because I read your body can process about 30g of protein per hour. I drank a protein shake on the hour the entire time I was awake for about 8 months my muscle gains were massive.
yo hamza, two months ago i was a a little shit with big ambition and taking no action. bad habits tore my life apart and made me into a bad person. The last two months I've been working fulltime, doing fulltime college, studying, working out, and working on myself. You gave me the final push that I needed to turn my life around. thanks.
Really needed this right now Hamza, thank you.just started a week ago and I feel amazing 😀
for anyone watching this, you don't have to make big changes immediately. If you feel overwhelmed by it, start small. Every time I did a sudden change of lifestyle I found myself not being able to keep it up for long because it's really hard to break those bad habits. Instead what I did, was I gradually moved to a healthier lifestyle. I started with cooking at home, even if it still was the same kind of food. Instead of eating a big mac I would make a burger at home. I would make homemade pan pizza instead of getting delivery. it gave me more control over what I was eating and those foods were much more filling while eating less calories. It's still not healthy, but it was a step in the right direction. From there, it's not as hard to start slowly incorporating healthier ingredients and moving to healthier meals. that's exactly what I did. It's a whole journey and it's so satisfying to look back at the progress I made in being mindful of my daily diet
I found this way to be the best for me. Now I eat much fewer calories, and I often find I eat too few calories even though I feel completely full after every meal
Obviously, this is just my experience. I know people who would much rather change everything at once than making a slow change. Every person is different, so don't feel dejected if you fail, pick yourself back up and try again to find what's best for you.
I needed this info. This is the key to my success. I can workout everyday but without the proper diet I risk losing muscle with the fat. This diet allows u to gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously 🙏🏼
Complex carbs for health:
artichokes
green peas
broccoli
chickpeas
lentils
beans (kidney, pinto and white)
whole grains
blueberries, apples, almonds and pistachios
Facts!
i m grateful for u

Thanks Hamza for sharing this as it’s been hard road for me, I’m currently 152kg and been fighting fat and has been hard to get rid of it🤝👍
How are you going now?
Thank you Hamza for putting out your content, this is life changing🙌🏼
learning how all the food we eat effect us and learning which one's will benefit your training is one the most rewarding things
I m a woman, and I have 19% fat and 35% muscle. Still, I don't have the body type I wish for, and your videos motivate me. Thanks.
Don't put yourself down you're doing great 🙂😎👍
19 is pretty good for females. :)
That sounds very healthy for a woman. You're not supposed to get down into the low fat levels men have. It's not healthy, even if models and movie stars and that one girl you know all do.
19% is too low if you ever plan to procreate
This video is fantastic for people like me who want to get into a better diet for muscle gain/ reducing fat but don't want to measure out every single meal and confuse things. Thanks.
Hamza, I wanted to say: thanks to your advice regarding weight loss and the video you made about hitting specific muscle groups has helped me so much! I’ve noticed the improvements already and it’s been 4-5 months since I started the training. Thank you. Thank you for being honest and wholesome. Your awesome man! If you ever come down to Hertfordshire let me know!
Can you share with me the specific muscle group routine. On mail?
Thankyou
Whoever edits these videos is a god

I’m giving up creatine and caffeine and really focusing on having an actual plan when I go into the gym tomorrow instead of winging it. Dieting is my hardest part and it’s always so discouraging when so many people say not to run in a bulk because it’s counterintuitive, but I love it so I’m doing it again
Man, thank you. Your videos and information really helps and is hellong me get on a better path. Ranging from overall health to attractiveness and etc.
This explained the biggest struggle i've had in terms of fitness and becoming shredded, thank you for this! I struggle with self image issues and food in general so I never feel a 100% like I am doing the right eating "diet" and meal plans. You've helped me a ton. Thank you!
Thanks for the ACTUAL healthy advice for not just muscle growth but ACTUALLY being healthy. We really appreciate guys like you!

Thank you for sharing.
I'm a 12 yr old boy and I've been addicted to p*** ever since i was 10. I've been watching your videos lately and have been passing all my tests and have been working out a lot. I even grew a little bit of abs. I appreciate what you're doing to young boys and men like me. My mom and my family are also proud of me and I'm never insecure to talk to others. Thanks for opening my eyes, you truly are Adonis.
Same, i'm 13. Keep It up bro 💪
Same I'm 14 ( was 13 couple of days ago )
Keep it up boys. I began with 13 improving myself, but then stopped for a year which really damaged me. So just be consistent and dont stop!!
I’m 16 and I’m 3 days strong nofap. I’ve found what helps me stay off it is music and everytime I feel like I’m gonna do it I just do a 5-10 minute workout. He’s truly magical.

tysm for this content changing my life fr
Hamza, this stream changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This stream represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this stream I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite stream, I will never forget this experience.
what stream?
🗿
Jeffery analogy is always the best.
@hamza , I've been going through depression and heart breaks the past few months. I wanted to tell you that your videos inspire me and made a positive impact on me, and really taught me what masculinity is. I was always told that I need to follow orders, be submissive, and quite. While these traits have their place and time, your videos showed me that a man rebels against those traits in the right circumstances in order to protect the tribe, himself, and his honour. I aspire to be like you, but most importantly, I endeavour to be better than my best.... To will upon the maxim of men: to protect, to love, to lead. God bless you hamza, you're the best.
How are you now? Depression and heartbreak right now in my life... do you have some Tipps for me?
@@Jojo-wq4fy if you still want advice, my advice would be get enough rest, do not give up, be responsible in health and lifestyle, and seek help if needed. You got this
@@Jojo-wq4fy boost testosterone bro
Damn bro good info. It’s crazy how important protein is. I did this diet for a month and I lost so much fat but gained muscle and stayed the same weight. My girl loved it. I’m starting back up
December 10th, 2022. I'm sick of living the way I am and need change. I've let stupid food get in the way of getting the body I want and deserve. That all changes today. In 90 days, I want to see a positive change in my overview of life and my body. I will post updates about my progress monthly to keep me motivated. I'm going to stay loyal to myself and focus on future me's happiness and not present me.
I have notifications on so I won't forget.
cmon bro you got it
Gogogo
We got this! 🤘🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
December 13th, im taking this journey with you
@@neptuneamaru5649 We got this bro 💪💪
I have a trainer with two PhD's. What's said here seems pretty in line with everything that's helped me. Went from 230lbs to 165lbs and I've stayed at 165lbs for over a year now even with little spurts of bad eating. My best advice would be to find something other than looks to motivate you. Looks aren't enough for most people because at a certain point we begin to tell ourselves that we don't care what others think. My internal motivation came from wanting to learn and eventually improve my jiujitsu. I used to compete in the 210-230lbs divisions as a fatty, way weaker than my super musclebound opponents. Now I compete at -165lbs lean not quite shredded yet. Wanting to lose weight for jiujitsu far outweighed my desire to look good for others. Just my experience and my thoughts though.
So is this diet a cutting or bulking diet because I need to cut
@@ChrissBroe I was certainly cutting to lose the weight, specifically focusing on keeping my protein high and sugars low (
Oos
So you went from 210-230 pounds to -165? Did you lose that much that you floated upward? What's the weather like up there in space?
Jokes aside, excellent work mate!
Ok
Hamza you're a legend! Every video is spot on! Keep on going bro
Thank you for everything my Hamza❤️
Mate, you talk pure sense and you're down to Earth 🙌🏻
This is such an important video. Thanks, Hamza.
The book How not to die is definitely required reading for micros, general health, and stopping the most common causes of death. Also boys look into the ‘base ingredient’ stuff by researching whole food diets
Thank you so much hamza for helping us!!💕
I wish I would have you found sooner thank you for the great advice please never stop because there’s always a next guy that needs this
Thank you Hamza.
Congrats on 100k brother, you are truly a lord of the game!
Man, I am on the right path joining you. You just confirmed what I started doing a month ago which is about eating complex carbs to fill calories and to hit protein goals which is the most important. I am already seeing a good difference. Struggling with fat loss but I am sure keeping up on this, will get there as well.
Stop eating carbs and sugar, no protein shakes either. Eat real protein like meat, sea food, poultry and you have to eat good fat or natural fat from meat. Your fat will melt off.
You got this and how is it now
God loves you he sent his one and only son and if we walk in the path Jesus walked in we will enter the kingdom of Heaven.,,
Best info....great video...I'm in!!!!💪👍
The way he introduces adnois in every video 😂♥️ is just amazing
Congratulations on 100k Hamza, Been a viewer since a year now, thank you for being a brother to us, hope you get more success in your life as you continue to change lives
I appreciate the breakdown! It’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when eating whole foods to fuel your body. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Your first vid I saw and I’m hooked💪🏾
thx bro i was looking for something like this you helped me a lot i really appreciate it
Hamza you are amazing, i’m 15 and see a whole lot of similarities with us, i’ve learned so much from you and I can trust you. keep it up man and don’t change.
Wtf
@@A_Random_Rat ?
This was very helpful, I had followed that idea on my weight loss journey regarding just eating whatever so long as you count calories.....
Dam. This… is exactly what I expected it to be. Accurate. Nice one, Hamza!
After re-watching this video and getting some knowledge here are some more tips that you can make use of
1. Don't take protein on an empty stomach if your body doesn't have much fuel to use (protein is an essential nutrient it can also be used as energy unlike carbs this info is only to reduce your cost).
2. Whey protein absorption rate is 10g per hour, muscle synthesis spikes really well after taking it and don't take a lot of it at once because the muscle synthesis spikes to a certain level and 20-40g protein hits the spot(another cost effective tip) .
3. Carbs aren't an enemy of yours they provide you energy to do the task but processed carbs are (eat clean as hamza said).
4. Fats are essential for hormone regulation( don't cut them completely eat good fats ).
5. If you are fat cut your calories depending on your current level, A good rule of thumb is heavy body requires more energy to become to work do keep that in mind and set your caloric deficit and make it more aggressive as you become thinner (eat clean with the right mindset ).
6. Proteins derived from plants aren't complete except soya and plant based protein powder so make sure to have at least 50 percent of protein foods to be derived from animals or dairy.
7. If you eat clean you'll only have to measure just protein intake (and calories if you want to cut down fat).
8. Never die as a Jeffery keep doing something to become better and fitness is one thing that actually improves the quality of life so never ever be cheap when it comes to fitness and contribute to society to be capable enough to fulfill your fitness needs and much more.(For the people who are in a tough time while reading this all the best)
All great except for the soy
Appreciate it bro
Thx bro
for 120g i need to take in 40g 3x daily, so with every meal?
i have either lentils or beans every day, so would be a complex plant based power 2x daily enough to get all AA? (vegan lifestyle)
number 7 hits the spot
I'm glad I found this to start out my 2023, time to go grocery shopping
Hello ☺️ I really love following your workouts and respect how hard you work. It’s so motivating 💪🏽 I just started my weight loss journey this week and am documenting it on my channel
exactly amazing info!
Bro, this is a legendary video!
Ingredient diet. Perfect! I have been telling people for years that this is the best diet to be on for your health. You are the 1st person I have ever heard mention this. Bravo!
I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. I did my undergrad in Kinesiology and exercise performance, health, and wellness/fitness has always been the type of research I gravitate towards. Having more knowledge than the general population I've always watched diet/fitness videos with an extreme amount of skepticism because like you said earlier in the video, most fitness advice on youtube Is bullshit, and my younger self also listened to the non-sense. Knowing what I know now and listening to the video, and being unable to disagree with any of the advice given just speaks volumes about the value and accuracy of the information provided.
for those reading comments, Hamza is right, this is pretty much the way to go about things, the protein suggestions and intermitted fasting advice become a bit muddy and definitely depend on preference/goals but for the most part, the advice he gives is probably the best thing to suggest to people in practicality, just off the sustainability principle.
This advice is the real deal, don't listen to the other UA-camr fitness nonsense bullshit.
I agree, the only thing Im skeptic about is the protein during the fasting window.
If Im correct, protein will spike your insulin thus making your "fasting" not a fasting (an average protein shake w/ water and 1 scoop is like 120cals).
The thing is, do you profit more from the fasting or the protein synthesis..
Am joining in on the kult!
Just earned a subscriber.Thank you for making this video.
Your videos have made me 100x more confident over the time that I've watched you, I went from a slight Jeffery to a Full fledged Adonis, thank you King. ❤
Nah this is actually scary now ahaha. Everytime I start thinking about thinking, I check yt and Hamza's made a vid on it. Keep up the great work
Thank to your channel I'm a new me Hamza. You blessed.
Awesome guide! Ive been on my own health journey and this is the closest thing to synthesized good information ive heard!
One addition is fermented food. The gut microbiome in western society is so deprived that most peoples guts dont even have the right bacteria anymore, fermented food and probiotics will help restore a healthy biome that you can then fuel with a high fiber diet (veg and fruits)
Im a nutrition student and I like the no bullshit and bordering hilarious content. Well done sir.
Finally someone telling the truth about fitness and keeping it real, I appreciate you bro 👊🏾
I haven't even watched this vdo yet but still believe in Hamza because he is one who pushed to gym ,health and mental improvement.
Just loving this guy
enjoyed my huge smoothie to get broccoli in every day... smoothie is Blueberries, banana, avocado, spinach, broccoli, double thick plain yogurt, honey and an apple. It was about 1.5 litres for my breakfast... then eggs for lunch and meat for supper...
You hit the nail on the head. Eat foods that aren't processed or have an ingredient list. The way we were intended to eat if we lived in nature or on our own without restaurants and grocery stores.
I generally agree. The easiest way to eat less calories is to just eat raw veggies with every meal. I also replaced all my sweets with nice fruits. Like an ananas or half a watermelon instead of ice or snacking on a banane, strawberries or grapes instead of cookies and chocolate. Wayyyy more volume per calorie.
loved this video
Great vid, thanks bro!
Gonna try this starting Monday. Will come back to this video and post my results in about 3-6months.
Current weight- 185pounds, 133pounds of muscle, and 23% body fat.
Ideal goal is 155-165 overall weight with 12-15% body fat. Muscle will vary since I changed from traditional weight lifting to calisthenics. Wish me luck fellas.
