What if I had to start at 30% body fat again? How would I approach getting to a lean 12-15% body fat? In this video, I share a simple step-by-step process. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for watching!💪
About 2 years ago I was 270lbs got down to 235lbs. Took a year break and l’m down to 195lbs. It’s been 6 months and I seem to have hit a plateau. Increased my steps from 10k a day to 20k. Lift heavy 4 days of the week, and do HIT 3 days. Sometimes both in the same day. Burn 1000 cals a day on average. I eat about 1700 cals a day and if I workout hard 2100 cals. Try to hit 180g protein a day sometimes can only do 150. I use a body composition analyzer weight scale to track my progress. Seems like I’m losing fat and gaining muscle, but it’s extremely slow now. Any tips on how to make this process quicker or more efficient. I’ve been 195 for 2 months now. I’m 5’7” goal weight is 180 or 170
Hello! First of all, great work on improving your fitness and losing massive weight. That's awesome. It looks like you are still making progress now. It's just slow and steady. If you feel like the progress is super slow, it is time again for another Diet Break. I discuss how to set up a Diet Break in one of my other videos. When you search "iwannaburnfat fat loss plateau", you will be able to find it💪🏼
Simple and effective. This is exactly what I did back in 2018. The thing to remember is that you won’t be 100% but if you hit this 85 to 90% of the time, you’ll see results!!
105 kg at present, i have started gym and diet number of times but due to lack of discipline never continued more than a month. Now started all over again with good motivation and a heated level of patience and discipline.
@@Abdulrehman-cy1qv not much my friend, again after 1.5 months i lost my consistency again. I lost 4 kg body weight in that duration. Again i am gonna start there is no coming back.
I am 240 pounds and 5'9''! I started on the journey myself about a month ago and document it all here on youtube. I will deffo include some of the tips you promote in my routine! Keep up the good work
Everything in this video is SPOT ON! Makes it real easy to start your fat loss journey. Throw out all the trash food and eat whole foods with a lot of protein from 12 to 8. In a few weeks you will and it will fee normal. Gone from 200 to 184 in a few weeks. Goal is 175 to 180.
It's so simple, yet we totally over complicate things! Eat healthy whole foods, get tons of protein and walk at last 30 minutes a day. Add in 3-5 days of weight training and you'll be unstoppable! I started carnivore on August 1st this year at 265. Today December 11 I'm at 221.6. fat is melting and muscle is building and seeing tone and definition I've never seen in my life at 44 yrs old!
You are the best coach. You are the one to say something easy to do and not overwhelming us. Most of us are office worker and don't have time to count calories. You nailed it.
same here just thinking OMAD , but scared of muscle loss even though i am doing resistance training 5 days a week and weighted walking or incline walk .
Great video - loved this. Thought you were clear and to the point, some others just waffle or crack jokes or go on too much so you lose interest. Love your approach. Been hitting the cardio like mad for 3 months and lost only a few lbs, am going to follow the 8hr fasting and your 3 day training plan for 3 months (with 1hr cardio Tue and Thur). Lets go !! Subscribed
Subscribed. You break everything down in a very simple and concise way. I’ve been coached by Martin Berkhan and all of this is absolutely true. No over the top nonsense just straight facts. Diet first, 10-12 x ideal body weight, .7 x ideal body weight, weight training 3x a week and consistency and you’ll be a different person in 12 weeks. Awesome job and video. No bs just straight facts.
I started dieting a month ago and this is how I started.. Wake up at 7, drink a tea at 7-8am, a protein shake from herbalife at 9am, healthy snack at 12 noon, 1 big meal (balanced diet) at 3-4pm, another snack at 6pm and another protein shake before I go to bed. It may feel like a lot but for someone like me that used to eat alot, it was very challenging the first 2 weeks. On the 3rd week I wasn't getting much hungry anymore and would occasionally miss a snack, shake and still be good with the 1meal/day. I lost 10lbs in 3wks.. The fourth week I started going to the gym and I focus most of my workouts using dumbbells. I sweat more using dumbbells than getting on a treadmill.
Your last point of getting someone involved just for accountability is very important. I almost gave up until a neighbor saw me and said she has noticed ma progress. I was like wow then im not shopping since she has been able to notice my progress without me saying it. Im still on it anytime im tired i just remembered i cant fail the people who have noticed then i keep going even harder
Subscribed & liked! Breaking it down like this was PERFECT thank you! Ive been trying to work out my diet for months now and this is a massive help while i can still enjoy food
Great vid, I have a coach but always enjoy doing my own research and testing what has worked for me, I did the high protein interm fasting and now calorie track, train everyday and box, this vid was super detailed and to the point, new sub
After watching people like biolayne jeff nippard and mike israetel I can spot most fake fitness influencers. So that being said everything you said sounds very accurate and informative! Good job man it’s a breath of fresh air to see content like this.
Another great video Mounir. I always think it’s not possible to top the previous ones but you always make it happen. If someone does a good amount of daily walking with a number of steps of around 12K to 13K should he reduce his walking activity in order to have the benefits of a higher walking activity during a cut?
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words and support, Claas!😁 If you naturally walk 12-13k steps, no need to bring that down just so you can bring it up again during a fat loss phase. If you maintain the high step-count during your cutting process, you will find that you can eat more calories and still lose body fat. So you will still get the benefits of increased walking during your fat loss phase, even if you naturally already walk a good amount!
When I see your video background, I remember the Netherlands. I miss the country after returning back to my country. It turns out that you're from the Netherlands. Excellent video! I wish I had started earlier when I still had Basic Fit's membership. But it better start late than never.
I have a question for the 1 hour walk. Does it mean I have to walk for 1 hour straight or can I divide it into 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening?
@@justinalonso8648 It seems like it, man I was fat, still am. I could also be way off on my body fat percentage, while I still have this gut im just gonna go with im fat lol.
@@boricua9071 don’t give up man, consistency is key, and don’t forget that one cheatmeal or even a cheatday can happen, as long as you’re able to be back on track, believe in yourself!
@@boricua9071 it seems you’re giving up? I am no expert but you probably need to step up a notch in your activity level and keep eating healthy or healthier! Slow fat burning I would say is a good sign, and better than fast burning, if you are not in a worry!
This is amazing and it seems like I'm doing things right. I was 228 lb's mid July, about 30% body fat. Just from eating.. not super lean meats but to be honest a lot of bacon and eggs or ground beef with mushrooms and onions etc etc lol for a big dinner and having a generous Turkey sandwich with tomato, lettuce, cheese etc on 12 grain bread for my big lunch and hitting around 1700-1800 Calories per day by adding an avacado as a snack I've gone from 228 to 208-210 depending on the time of day in under a month. Now, of course it's slowed right down now, still losing but at a more steady slow pace. I don't feel hungry at all anymore either which is awesome! I don't get the protein I would like to be getting each day but I'm working on that. I think sometimes, in the past I've worried too much about being PERFECT with everything which is SO unnecissary unless you're like.. trying to get RIPPPPPED!!!!!! Or have been cast in a Marvel film lol.
You are doing great!! Keep up the good work and thank you for watching :) Slow and steady progress adds up to BIG progress if you give it enough time!💪🏼
I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting with protein focused meals. It’s been about 4 weeks now. Great changes. However, I’m lacking lots of energy for my workouts. Any advice to counter this? Thanks
Hello! Based on the limited information I have about you, this sounds like a reasonable calorie target. At 120g of protein, you are also close to consuming at least 1.6g per kilogram (0.7g per pound). With that said, calorie needs can differ per individual. So I would stick with this calorie target for 2 weeks, track your progress, and adjust if needed :)
I'm at around 23% body fat too, calories don't go above 2200 per day, but I get in about an average of 200g of protein. I'm no expert, but I rather shoot above than being under since I don't have a huge carb intake either way
@@jgc9199 we can overeat protein and it will also lead to fat storage protein and carbs are both 4 calories so ppl usually think more protein is better but actually isn’t
@@jgc9199 can you plz tell me from which sources you complete 200 gns of protein in just 2200 calories whereas it is not easy for me to complete 120 gms
I use a 24 hour fast and only eat between 4-6pm coffee for breakfast tea after 7pm.... I went from 240 to 180 in 3 months, I am currently 174 and have maintained this for 1 year..... I workout at atleast 5 times per week, this next year I plan to cut to 160 and bulk back to 175
I've found that coffee, with a bit of half n half and Splenda (maybe 1-2 teaspoons of sugar) is a great way to control hunger and hold off on eating my first meal until noon or later.
Ive been seeing alot of mixed instructions on HIIT exercises vs low intensity exercises. You suggest low intensity exercises, such as walking, but what benefit do those have over HIIT? Or does it just have to do with metabolic rate?
Great piece of information. 🔥🔥🔥 I do 45 mins of strength training and 20mins of hiit or body weight exercises, does this sound well? Or should I concentrate only on strength training"? My goal is fat loss and maintain muscle.
Thank you! And doing 45-minutes of lifting weights with 20-min of bodyweight HIIT exercises can definitely work. I would need to look at your specific plan and know your goals to give individualized feedback. But overall, it sounds nice :) If you are progressing and are enjoying your plan, keep it up!
Great question! It's a calorie starting point for women as well. I wouldn't call it optimal, because you may have to increase/decrease calories based on your progress. Calorie needs are individual and need to be personalized😁
Salaam Mounir. If I plan to train in the morning e.g. around 9am after sending the kids to school, should I eat something during the protein intermittent fasting period in the morning? And should I shift the large meal as post workout meal instead of during dinner? Thank you in advance! Great videos as always and as a scientist myself, really appreciate the science-backed info!
Alaikum Salam! Great question. It is possible to train fasted and push your first meal to lunch time. But if you have a lot of activities in the morning next to your workout, I would recommend to have something small in the morning. Like a protein shake. Act as if you are still fasting, while just having that protein shake. Then continue the protein-based intermittent fasting as described in the video. It's optional to have your first big meal of the day post-workout. Not necessary, but if you prefer having the largest meal after training, go for it! Thank you for your kind words!💪🏼😁
Thank you! And yes, that is possible. I would just be mindful of the signals your body is sending you. Are you still able to perform well in the gym and are your concentration levels at work good if you train fasted first thing in the morning? If yes, then all should be fine!💪🏼
Im 17% now. Doing medium kinda workout 4/5 days a week, maintain calorie deficit. How much time will it take to achieve 12-10% body fat. I'm 5'6" and weighing 65 right now.
Man, you nailed with the title and thumbnail of the video. The first 15 sec was great as well. Jumped straight into content. But then there was just a lot of fluff there. Too much vague content before you get to the crux, which is keep it basic. Can deliver it in a better way.
If I want to try the protein intermittent fasting but need something to eat in the morning so I’m not getting ready to pass out getting two young kids ready for school and taking them etc, can I have something like a plain omelette? Or does that break the rules of the fast? As i understand it from your video, the fast is just to limit the eating window where calorie consumption takes place?
The fasting is not mandatory to see fat loss progress. So yes, you can still have something in the morning! I understand that it's tough to fast in the morning time while also getting the kids ready for school. Feel free to incorporate something in the morning time to get you going and then limit your feeding window later in the day to get the calorie-control benefits💪🏼
I’m 74kg and I’m 5’9. My calorie maintenance is 2500 calories. I consume less than that and I burn at least 800 calories a day as I have a job where I move a lot. I do have some abdominal definition but I can still see a little gut. Should I continue this calorie deficit?
I agree that you don't need high repetitions when workin out to burn fat, but to get lean, you do need those higher repetitions. Maybe the difference between 10-15 reps doesn't make much of a difference, but 7 or 8 reps vs. 14-16 would make a pretty big difference. At least for me since I have a bulkier body and put on muscle easily. So part of how I'm trying to get lean is by using more cardio and higher reps, but diet is still a massive part of that of course.
Stuck in between. Been trying to bulk for ages, eating 4k cals, 200+g protein per day. But im only 84kg and 13-14% body fat. Thinking of trying to get the body fat lower now just because that is the body I want, and I like walking anyway. I can probs keep calories fairly high and walk, then if weight loss stops it will be less cals or more walking. What do you think? Or should I remain permanently trying to bulk. In my 30's.
I am 39 years of age, 75 kgs and this is my daily routine: 1) workout twice a day 2) walk 8000 steps daily 3) fast for around 14-16 hours daily 4) eat around 140g protein (1970 calories) every day which includes eggs, chicken, protein shake, chickpeas, banana, peanut butter and whole wheat bread I think my body fat is somewhere between 20-25% and my goal is to reach 15% body fat without losing muscle mass. I would like to know if there is something else I can add to my routine to speed up the process or if i am doing something wrong that i should avoid. Please advise.
Honestly, you don’t need to add anything, you need to deduct some of those things: excessively training, eg twice a day spikes cortisol, which prevents the body from losing body fat. If you’re 25% body fat on that routine, it’s solid evidence to my point. Keep the cals at 2,000, up the walking to 10,000-12,000 steps daily and train 3-4 days a week tops. You’ll feel less hungry and won’t need treats at the weekend, which will destroy your calorie deficit.
@@danieljrs507 actually I was 86 kg before this routine, and now I am 75. So I am seeing results. Also, even though I workout twice a day, each workout is not excessive. I do two muscle groups per workout and 3 exercises of 3 sets on each workout. The total time of both workouts is roughly 1.5 - 2 hours.
@@syedyasir7419if it's working for you that's great, but optimally speaking your workouts are too often, at least from a general scientific perspective. Though of course, this depends on the intensity of your workouts, realistically you'd be able to work out half as often if you went a little harder, which would allow you to see more muscle growth as well. If you have simultaneous fat loss and muscle gaining goals, this guy is great for the fat loss aspect, but I would recommend Renaissance periodization (aka Dr. Mike Israetel) for muscle growth, as he has a PhD in exercise science and is a semi-pro body builder I believe. He gives great insight on optimizing workouts in my opinion
Perfect again Mounir. I've switched to your second method. I just have a protein shake and some yogurt for breakfast. And then high protein lunch and dinner
I'm a bit confused. I'm 168 cm tall, weigh 73 kg, and have a body fat percentage of 24%. My job as a barber requires me to stand for about 5-6 hours a day, which burns quite a few calories. You mentioned that the ideal calorie intake would be my target weight multiplied by 12, which puts me at around 1,700 calories. However, when I tried that, I started feeling fatigued. Could you clarify this?" Am I eating too little ?
@yuong9921 in my experience I’ve never had a calorie calculator correctly figure out my maintenance calories. I figure mine out by tracking my calories and body weight daily. Then looking at the averages. If my weight is trending up I’m in a surplus if down a deficit. My numbers are 177cm and 75kg. I eat 2500 for maintenance. 1700 calories is pretty low. Pay attention to your body it’s seems like you’re not eating enough. My advice start weighing yourself every morning. If you stay at 1700 calories you’ll probably see pretty big weight loss. I add some calories. The big mistake I made was lowering calories to much. Lots of the weight loss was muscle not fat. Once that happens you’re in a worse position. Because muscle drives metabolism. Once you go back to eating a normal diet you gain all the weight back. That’s why 90% of people gain all their weight back plus some after dieting.
I’m hitting 1800-2000 calories a day with at least 120-160 grams of protein, intermittent fasting for 15/16 hours a day hitting the gym lighting weights 3 times a week getting short daily walks in and I’m still stuck not losing body fat. 😢
Maybe try doing more cardio, I typically aim for at least 500 calories burned doing steady state cardio, and takes me about an hour.I also mixup the equipment used so don't get bored but it's up to you of course..
How is your daily activity outside of the gym? Perhaps the walking can be increased? Also, how are you checking your fat loss progress? Even if you are not losing weight, you still could be losing body fat. Also measure your waist size every 2-4 weeks.
Thank you! And yes, Yassine did maintain his back muscles, the picture doesn't paint a complete picture because he genetically stores more fat than usual on his back. Yassine's strength on his back exercises actually improved tremendously!
Bro , Thanks for the video i have benefited alot from you videos specially I was so strict about my diet which was certainly not sustainable now I enjoy sweets sometimes and still create calorie deficit and yes I never compromise on protein intake. my question is I do not take too much supplements apart from just omega 3 , vitamin D3 and whey protein . But I can still lift heavy weight so , Should I also add creatine as I ve never been into this supplement? Secondly , Multivitamins should be added to a supplement stack or these are just placebos?
Happy to hear you are benefiting from the videos! You can learn more about creatine in one of my previous videos on the channel. I posted about my 3-year experience using creatine, check it out when you visit my channel page :) Also, I usually don't recommend a mulitvitamin unless someone struggles maintaining a nutrient dense whole food diet.
I'm pretty good at losing fat. I remove anything tempting away from me, not in the house and prep food for work. Same bike route I cycle and try to beat my time 3 times a week. Clenbuterol.
What if I had to start at 30% body fat again? How would I approach getting to a lean 12-15% body fat? In this video, I share a simple step-by-step process.

You are on the right path! Keep up the good work💪🏼
118kg at 170cm you must’ve been around 45% bodyfat..
@@justinalonso8648 It seems like it, man I was fat, still am. I could also be way off on my body fat percentage, while I still have this gut im just gonna go with im fat lol.
@@boricua9071 don’t give up man, consistency is key, and don’t forget that one cheatmeal or even a cheatday can happen, as long as you’re able to be back on track, believe in yourself!
@@boricua9071 it seems you’re giving up? I am no expert but you probably need to step up a notch in your activity level and keep eating healthy or healthier! Slow fat burning I would say is a good sign, and better than fast burning, if you are not in a worry!
how do we plan our cheat meals ?
Very informative video!
This is amazing and it seems like I'm doing things right. I was 228 lb's mid July, about 30% body fat. Just from eating.. not super lean meats but to be honest a lot of bacon and eggs or ground beef with mushrooms and onions etc etc lol for a big dinner and having a generous Turkey sandwich with tomato, lettuce, cheese etc on 12 grain bread for my big lunch and hitting around 1700-1800 Calories per day by adding an avacado as a snack I've gone from 228 to 208-210 depending on the time of day in under a month.
Now, of course it's slowed right down now, still losing but at a more steady slow pace. I don't feel hungry at all anymore either which is awesome! I don't get the protein I would like to be getting each day but I'm working on that. I think sometimes, in the past I've worried too much about being PERFECT with everything which is SO unnecissary unless you're like.. trying to get RIPPPPPED!!!!!! Or have been cast in a Marvel film lol.
You are doing great!! Keep up the good work and thank you for watching :)
Slow and steady progress adds up to BIG progress if you give it enough time!💪🏼
Helpful information 👍🏼
Thank you!💪🏼
bro ik wist het, ik herkende het accent, ben oprecht blij voor je en wens je veel succes toe met je carrière!
Haha bedankt! Ik waardeer het bro💪🏼
Fantastic information without useless rambling! Very good video my friend 🙂👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!💪🏼
This video covers everything. Everything I've learned throughout the years. Glad I'm on the right track.
Already shared this. Appreciate you bro. 👍
Awesome! My pleasure, I am glad you like the video💪🏼😁
Would you suggest working out after your intermittent fast or during? Or does it not matter? Thanks
Both are possible. But preferably train after breaking your fast :)
@@iWannaBurnFat Appreciate the tip thanks!
Great content bro! 🙌
Appreciate it!
I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting with protein focused meals. It’s been about 4 weeks now. Great changes. However, I’m lacking lots of energy for my workouts. Any advice to counter this? Thanks
Bro my weight is 84kg and around 23% body fat and I am able to consume only 120gms protein with 2300 calories is it enough
Hello! Based on the limited information I have about you, this sounds like a reasonable calorie target. At 120g of protein, you are also close to consuming at least 1.6g per kilogram (0.7g per pound).
With that said, calorie needs can differ per individual. So I would stick with this calorie target for 2 weeks, track your progress, and adjust if needed :)
Your protein intake is based on your lean muscle not your total body weight so it’s actually lower than what you weigh
I'm at around 23% body fat too, calories don't go above 2200 per day, but I get in about an average of 200g of protein. I'm no expert, but I rather shoot above than being under since I don't have a huge carb intake either way
@@jgc9199 we can overeat protein and it will also lead to fat storage protein and carbs are both 4 calories so ppl usually think more protein is better but actually isn’t
@@jgc9199 can you plz tell me from which sources you complete 200 gns of protein in just 2200 calories whereas it is not easy for me to complete 120 gms
first vid ive seen from you, youve earned a new sub 😊
Great video brother. Very valuable. Jazakullah khairan
My pleasure brother!
Hi, I am 5'10 , 70Kg Already slim but significant belly fat.
Just started gym, should i consume low, same or high calorie diet?
Check my recent video on what I would do if I was "skinny fat". It's on my channel now! :)
I use a 24 hour fast and only eat between 4-6pm coffee for breakfast tea after 7pm.... I went from 240 to 180 in 3 months, I am currently 174 and have maintained this for 1 year..... I workout at atleast 5 times per week, this next year I plan to cut to 160 and bulk back to 175
I've found that coffee, with a bit of half n half and Splenda (maybe 1-2 teaspoons of sugar) is a great way to control hunger and hold off on eating my first meal until noon or later.
I do the same thing. No sugar, just splenda, but yeah. I wake up at around 7 and it helps me hold off that first meal until around 12:30.
Nice, good tip to manage hunger!
I put my protein powder in my coffee and drink it all day between breakfast and lunch and I’m usually barely hungry by the time lunch rolls around.
Ok.
Noice
Thank you 😅
Ive been seeing alot of mixed instructions on HIIT exercises vs low intensity exercises. You suggest low intensity exercises, such as walking, but what benefit do those have over HIIT? Or does it just have to do with metabolic rate?
Great piece of information. 🔥🔥🔥
I do 45 mins of strength training and 20mins of hiit or body weight exercises, does this sound well? Or should I concentrate only on strength training"? My goal is fat loss and maintain muscle.
Thank you! And doing 45-minutes of lifting weights with 20-min of bodyweight HIIT exercises can definitely work.
I would need to look at your specific plan and know your goals to give individualized feedback. But overall, it sounds nice :)
If you are progressing and are enjoying your plan, keep it up!
Great video
Thank you!
What happens if I eat more that .7g of protein consistently? Will that mess up my progress for weight loss?
Not at all! As long as you stay within your calories, a higher protein intake is fine.
When will the new full body workout science based relased :)
For womens, 10-12x goal body weight to set optimal deficit too?
Great question!
It's a calorie starting point for women as well. I wouldn't call it optimal, because you may have to increase/decrease calories based on your progress. Calorie needs are individual and need to be personalized😁
which product you use to style hair bro?
It's the difference between anaerobic vs aerobic exercise. And this information is literally EVERYWHERE.
Bro I’ve been eating once a day , work till 6 then go gym till 8 and eat then, it worked abit but would u advise ?
It's tough for most people to sustain that. But if it works for you and you are able to reach your nutritional needs, OMAD (One Meal A Day) is viable.
Amazing video 🙏👏
Thank you! :)
For someone who is 5’8, what should my ideal weight be? 150 pounds? So that means I should be eating 1500-1800?
Roughly as a starting point, yes! Calorie needs differ per individual, so see it as a guideline :)
During this process, when do we inject steroids?
After every meal
I am 92 kg 188 cm at 20% bodyfat. I have decent amount of muscle but I wanna go to 13-14%. How much calories / protein do I need
It depends on your lifestyle and overall activity levels as well, tough to give individualized recommendations without knowing more about you.
Salaam Mounir. If I plan to train in the morning e.g. around 9am after sending the kids to school, should I eat something during the protein intermittent fasting period in the morning? And should I shift the large meal as post workout meal instead of during dinner?
Thank you in advance! Great videos as always and as a scientist myself, really appreciate the science-backed info!
Alaikum Salam! Great question. It is possible to train fasted and push your first meal to lunch time. But if you have a lot of activities in the morning next to your workout, I would recommend to have something small in the morning. Like a protein shake.
Act as if you are still fasting, while just having that protein shake. Then continue the protein-based intermittent fasting as described in the video.
It's optional to have your first big meal of the day post-workout. Not necessary, but if you prefer having the largest meal after training, go for it!
Thank you for your kind words!💪🏼😁
Great video! If you workout in the morning, because of work, can you start your first meal 5 hours after working out?
Thank you! And yes, that is possible.
I would just be mindful of the signals your body is sending you. Are you still able to perform well in the gym and are your concentration levels at work good if you train fasted first thing in the morning? If yes, then all should be fine!💪🏼
How do I know my body fat percentage?
Im 17% now. Doing medium kinda workout 4/5 days a week, maintain calorie deficit. How much time will it take to achieve 12-10% body fat. I'm 5'6" and weighing 65 right now.
Out of all the information I came across .. your info probably was the most helpful 💪🏽
Awesome! Happy to hear that!😁
Please review the difference between "was" and "were".
Man, you nailed with the title and thumbnail of the video. The first 15 sec was great as well. Jumped straight into content. But then there was just a lot of fluff there. Too much vague content before you get to the crux, which is keep it basic. Can deliver it in a better way.
If I want to try the protein intermittent fasting but need something to eat in the morning so I’m not getting ready to pass out getting two young kids ready for school and taking them etc, can I have something like a plain omelette?
Or does that break the rules of the fast? As i understand it from your video, the fast is just to limit the eating window where calorie consumption takes place?
The fasting is not mandatory to see fat loss progress.
So yes, you can still have something in the morning! I understand that it's tough to fast in the morning time while also getting the kids ready for school.
Feel free to incorporate something in the morning time to get you going and then limit your feeding window later in the day to get the calorie-control benefits💪🏼
I’m 74kg and I’m 5’9. My calorie maintenance is 2500 calories. I consume less than that and I burn at least 800 calories a day as I have a job where I move a lot. I do have some abdominal definition but I can still see a little gut. Should I continue this calorie deficit?
I agree that you don't need high repetitions when workin out to burn fat, but to get lean, you do need those higher repetitions. Maybe the difference between 10-15 reps doesn't make much of a difference, but 7 or 8 reps vs. 14-16 would make a pretty big difference. At least for me since I have a bulkier body and put on muscle easily. So part of how I'm trying to get lean is by using more cardio and higher reps, but diet is still a massive part of that of course.
Stuck in between. Been trying to bulk for ages, eating 4k cals, 200+g protein per day. But im only 84kg and 13-14% body fat. Thinking of trying to get the body fat lower now just because that is the body I want, and I like walking anyway. I can probs keep calories fairly high and walk, then if weight loss stops it will be less cals or more walking. What do you think? Or should I remain permanently trying to bulk. In my 30's.
I am 39 years of age, 75 kgs and this is my daily routine:
1) workout twice a day
2) walk 8000 steps daily
3) fast for around 14-16 hours daily
4) eat around 140g protein (1970 calories) every day which includes eggs, chicken, protein shake, chickpeas, banana, peanut butter and whole wheat bread
I think my body fat is somewhere between 20-25% and my goal is to reach 15% body fat without losing muscle mass. I would like to know if there is something else I can add to my routine to speed up the process or if i am doing something wrong that i should avoid. Please advise.
Honestly, you don’t need to add anything, you need to deduct some of those things: excessively training, eg twice a day spikes cortisol, which prevents the body from losing body fat. If you’re 25% body fat on that routine, it’s solid evidence to my point. Keep the cals at 2,000, up the walking to 10,000-12,000 steps daily and train 3-4 days a week tops. You’ll feel less hungry and won’t need treats at the weekend, which will destroy your calorie deficit.
@@danieljrs507 actually I was 86 kg before this routine, and now I am 75. So I am seeing results. Also, even though I workout twice a day, each workout is not excessive. I do two muscle groups per workout and 3 exercises of 3 sets on each workout. The total time of both workouts is roughly 1.5 - 2 hours.
@@syedyasir7419if it's working for you that's great, but optimally speaking your workouts are too often, at least from a general scientific perspective. Though of course, this depends on the intensity of your workouts, realistically you'd be able to work out half as often if you went a little harder, which would allow you to see more muscle growth as well. If you have simultaneous fat loss and muscle gaining goals, this guy is great for the fat loss aspect, but I would recommend Renaissance periodization (aka Dr. Mike Israetel) for muscle growth, as he has a PhD in exercise science and is a semi-pro body builder I believe. He gives great insight on optimizing workouts in my opinion
i go for morning 45 min walk and evening 45min walk, i have come from 127kg to 109kg, just by walking and calorie deficit diet
I lost 30 pounds from 230 in at 200 with 32 percent fat. I can use some help and motivation please. I wanna get down to 170 with 15 percent
Perfect again Mounir. I've switched to your second method. I just have a protein shake and some yogurt for breakfast. And then high protein lunch and dinner
Sounds great! Keep up the good work!
I'm a bit confused. I'm 168 cm tall, weigh 73 kg, and have a body fat percentage of 24%. My job as a barber requires me to stand for about 5-6 hours a day, which burns quite a few calories. You mentioned that the ideal calorie intake would be my target weight multiplied by 12, which puts me at around 1,700 calories. However, when I tried that, I started feeling fatigued. Could you clarify this?" Am I eating too little ?
@yuong9921 in my experience I’ve never had a calorie calculator correctly figure out my maintenance calories. I figure mine out by tracking my calories and body weight daily. Then looking at the averages. If my weight is trending up I’m in a surplus if down a deficit. My numbers are 177cm and 75kg. I eat 2500 for maintenance. 1700 calories is pretty low. Pay attention to your body it’s seems like you’re not eating enough. My advice start weighing yourself every morning. If you stay at 1700 calories you’ll probably see pretty big weight loss. I add some calories. The big mistake I made was lowering calories to much. Lots of the weight loss was muscle not fat. Once that happens you’re in a worse position. Because muscle drives metabolism. Once you go back to eating a normal diet you gain all the weight back. That’s why 90% of people gain all their weight back plus some after dieting.
Thanks for the vid! Are you from the Netherlands? Sounds like! 👍🏽 Hi from Amsterdam :)
Yes! Born and raised in Utrecht haha
I’m hitting 1800-2000 calories a day with at least 120-160 grams of protein, intermittent fasting for 15/16 hours a day hitting the gym lighting weights 3 times a week getting short daily walks in and I’m still stuck not losing body fat. 😢
Maybe try doing more cardio, I typically aim for at least 500 calories burned doing steady state cardio, and takes me about an hour.I also mixup the equipment used so don't get bored but it's up to you of course..
How is your daily activity outside of the gym? Perhaps the walking can be increased?
Also, how are you checking your fat loss progress? Even if you are not losing weight, you still could be losing body fat. Also measure your waist size every 2-4 weeks.
Solid base advise! Thanks a lot! The guy at 5:38 seems to have lost the love handles but a considerable amount of back width (hope it was fat).
Thank you!
And yes, Yassine did maintain his back muscles, the picture doesn't paint a complete picture because he genetically stores more fat than usual on his back. Yassine's strength on his back exercises actually improved tremendously!
Are you Italian?
Good Video =)
Moroccan/Dutch!
Thank you :)
im start today again i was at 30% bodyfat 4month ago now im 20% bodyfat max 22% lets see my goal is 15-12% bf
You got this!
Bro , Thanks for the video i have benefited alot from you videos specially I was so strict about my diet which was certainly not sustainable now I enjoy sweets sometimes and still create calorie deficit and yes I never compromise on protein intake.
my question is I do not take too much supplements apart from just omega 3 , vitamin D3 and whey protein .
But I can still lift heavy weight so , Should I also add creatine as I ve never been into this supplement?
Secondly , Multivitamins should be added to a supplement stack or these are just placebos?
Happy to hear you are benefiting from the videos!
You can learn more about creatine in one of my previous videos on the channel. I posted about my 3-year experience using creatine, check it out when you visit my channel page :)
Also, I usually don't recommend a mulitvitamin unless someone struggles maintaining a nutrient dense whole food diet.
I'm pretty good at losing fat.
I remove anything tempting away from me, not in the house and prep food for work.
Same bike route I cycle and try to beat my time 3 times a week.
Clenbuterol.
whatt it means i have to eat 1350 calories only? what if im walking for 1 hour a day and bodyweight exercise like pull ups and push ups
his calorie calculations are off. that's why all of his clients did lose weight, but they all still look "skinny fat"
My trainer got me onto CrossFit when I was real obese, but cut cals to 1200 per day for a week or two. Then later upped it.
