  • If you want to know the fastest way to get lean and aren't quite sure where to start, you're going to want to watch this video. Here I'm going to show you the exact steps you are to follow if you want to drop your body fat percentage down from even the upper 30's down to single digits. We are going to cover both the training and nutrition details that are necessary in order to lose body fat the quickest.

    The best way for you to use this video is to identify the body fat percentage bracket where you are right now and watch the tips given for dropping down into the next lower bracket. Also, you will want to watch the bracket immediately above you too. This will show you the techniques that you need to employ in order to prevent rising above the body fat levels you are at right now.
    With that said, we start at the top, in the upper 30 percent bf percentage. Without knowing the specific individual it is possible to make some generalized assessments of what may be contributing to their higher body fat levels. They likely are not physically active, or if so, are not doing it with any consistency or with enough effort to cause a change. They likely also eat and drink whatever they want, when they want.
    The first thing that should happen is zone 2 cardio should be implemented. This can be something as simple as walking which can be done at a higher intensity level so as to cause breathlessness but not prevent you from carrying on a conversation. Three times per week for 30 minutes is a great place to start.
    Reducing alcohol intake should be a main target here. These easy to dump calories will go a long way towards effective weight loss. Aim for cutting consumption and frequency to half the levels they are right now.
    Lastly, without making any changes to the foods you are eating, simply change the number of times you eat and eat on the clock - every 2 and a half to 3 hours. This is called prescriptive eating. There is an entire video on how to do this exactly that I linked at the end of this video.
    To drop from the low 30 percent body fat range to the upper 20's you are going to have to increase your conditioning to 45-60 minute sessions, at that same 3 times per week frequency. Here however, the big recommended change is the incorporation of strength training or weight training 2 times per week. This is the point where you have to decide whether you just want to lose weight and become "skinny fat" or create noticeable physique changes.
    The workouts will not just make a visual impact, but in doing them, you'll assist your body's metabolism in being able to burn more calories at rest. This will make additional weight loss more effortless. Two total body workouts per week will get the job done (the A and B workouts from the Perfect Beginner Workout are great options).
    The diet needs refinement to cut back additionally on the alcohol and to remove the obvious garbage foods from your diet. These include sweets, cakes, fried foods, desserts, etc
    Increased fiber and protein in the diet should be your main goal here as they will further improve satiety and portion control, building off the effects of the timed eating in the first step.
    To move down into the low twenties you'll need to increase your strength training to 3 times per week to further support your muscle building efforts. To accommodate for the increase in training, you can drop your cardio sessions to 2 times per week, but make sure they are for 60 minutes each.
    Additional meal refinement should take place here, with condiments, dressings and food prep as your main areas to target. The plate division method is something that helps you immensely and can be found here for more details - • How to Lose Weight WIT...
    To move from the high teens in body fat percentage to the low teens, the focus is going to continue to be twofold. First, the strength training should become a huge staple of your training and should now occupy 4-5 times per week. The type of split you do here can vary greatly. For help on how to choose the best split watch this video - • The Best Workout Split...
    You should at this point be sure that your conditioning includes HIIT training as well. You can cut back to 1-2 60 minute LISS sessions to accommodate if time crunched.
    Nutrition is going to be the main difference maker as always. Be sure you're ingesting enough high quality protein. Premium protein powders like PRO-30G come in very handy here. Cheat foods need to replace cheat meals as consistency becomes the rule of the day with your eating.

      Fruit helps with the sugar cravings. Honey crisp apples taste like cotton candy. Eat with peanut butter. Justin's is a good brand. Kinda pricey though.
      #1 rule. Dont be a muscle head douche as you get bigger and stronger
      #2 rule. Remember your humble beginnings
      #3. There always a bigger fish. Have the mindset that your never the biggest fish but your going to be a hungry piranha.
      #4 don't push yourself. Human body is fragile as well as the mind.
      #5 cardio helps lose weight. But go slow. The gut is easily agitated by stress of life and overtime work before you ever hit the tready and the iron church.
      #6 it's not a competition. It's a self evolving experience
      #7 don't become the beach bully when you reach your peak. Be the muscle nerd that rises from the sand being kicked in his face
      8# dont guilt over the food you eat. Just look for nature based alternatives because The struggle is real and overtime your brain chemistry will get used to the changes

However, I’m back on track now and more motivated then ever to go back below 10%. It’s not an easy journey but it is possible for sure. I know so because I already did it. This means a lot of HIT workout and strict meal prep. Some people are just looking for excuses to not push themselves enough…

I was waking up stiff, and noticed a lot more body aches and joint pain than I have had in the past. The pain is all gone now. No more joint issues. I feel my strength has really come back and I've lost some weight but want to hit that metabolic rate I'm looking for so I can really lean up.

    I started training in November '22 and work out up to 6 times a week. I used Jeff's videos along with others and I lost over 16 kilos (or 35 lb) already. I started cutting at the first 4 months, then went neutral on my diet and kept working out. Now I started cutting again. My body fat went from 28% to 19.2% today. I also gained muscles, not that many as in Bulk, but enough to become slightly bigger, and definitive better fysique. Its a long term plan, to get leaner and getting more muscles. I keeping track on my diet everyday, keep enough sleep, and work out up to 6 times a week. I am very proud on what I managed so far, but I want to thank Jeff for his inspiring video's, tips and tricks. I am still going strong! Greetings from the Netherlands

    Great video! A big takeaway I think is that it is ok to stop at one of the levels along the way. If someone wants to indulge a bit more often in the cheat foods and is ok staying at the 15-20% range, that's great. Not everybody has to be at single digit bodyfat %. It is about finding a lifestyle and physique that you're happy with. For many, somewhere around the mid-teens is probably a great balance. That said, if someone wants to go below 10%, then go for it. Just understand the lifestyle needed to support that.

    Your 100 ab workout from a month ago was a huge push in the right direction for me. I'd been stuck around 18-19% body fat & when I added in the 100 Ab workout, I dropped in a month to 16%. I was doing a kettlebell endurance program during that time, but I had about 2 months on it before with no real change. I probably did the ab workout 3-4x a week with other the same program, more as a finisher & push thru those 100 reps. They're getting easier to do in a shorter time, but still brutal. But its the extra burn I need apparantly! Thanks again.

    Totally agreeing with the low teens to single digits, to add since you become disciplined in health and fitness this tends to carry over to other areas, it is a journey that will have obstacles, figuring out how to overcome obstacles one by one sometimes taking some time but edge away at it and you get there. If you play video games approach it like one you're sometimes stuck with end level boss needing the right combination and/or strategy trial and error, perseverance and then you level up!
