      This time go beyond the motivation. After the motivation fades away, which is natural and inevitable, make discipline the primary focus. Discipline is what makes the trick.
      Also when you address a solid why, then things that you’re currently try to do, will become habits and a lifestyle.
      Eating healthy while enjoying what you eat is easier than many people think.
      Good luck have fun and get to the best shape of your life again, better than your previous best 💪🙏

      @geno5169 Here is a mantra I was given that helped me that I adopted. When you least feel like doing anything that is the time to take action and the time you actually need to do it most. When you live my that mantra as a code, those are the times you will receive the biggest benefit from what you do. I have suffered massively physically and mentally. As many do, so I'm not special in that regard. I understand how hard life can be. I am a dad and I have kids now. At one point in my life I thought I would be alone forever and had alot of self doubt and was quite broken by experiences that happened to me growing up. I couldn't talk to women and had no confidence. By living that mantra at around 25 I trained to be a Chef, I started running. I read alot, books on body language, how to connect and socialize better. I became well read on various subjects, learned to play guitar. I ran every morning and went to the gum after college. There was always that inner voice telling me I couldn't be bothered etc. No what I did. I told it to Fuck off. I literally turned it down and tuned it our. Used that mantra and I started doing things I would shy away from. Until today at 42 for all I have bowel problems I battle and some other health issues, I keep going and I have a gorgeous Mrs, 2 sons and 2 Cats and own my own home. Alot going for me and alot to be thankful for in life. If I can do it, you can. So get at it. Wishing you joy and happiness bro. Have faith and stay consistent.

Been training with weights and cardio, but was slacking on the diet (was basically eating whatever i wanted within my caloric limit of about 2k calories per day, including junk food). Felt stronger, healthier, but couldn't cut a whole lot of weight (and fat). Started a hypo-caloric diet 3 weeks ago (and even cut down on training), and steadily lost about a pound week.

    I would 50% disagree on the eating late comment, for two reasons.
    First, if you are intermittent fasting, say 16/8, eating late at night (and beginning your 16 hour fasting period when you are done) also means your eating window the following day is pushed back (unless you do a shorter fast which is not ideal). The trouble here is compounded if your break time at work (should you have no/little control over when you go) happens to fall within your fasting period.
    For example, I fast from 8pm - 12noon the following day, every weekday. If I ate at 11pm rather than finishing at 8pm, I would have have to push back when I can eat the following day the same 3 hours from 12noon to 3pm. Because my lunch is at 12, this means I now can't eat lunch and have to wait until the next time I am even able to cook, which might be 4-6 hours after that.
    Secondly, anecdotally I understand but if I eat right before bed, for some reason I wake up absolutely starving. As in stomach yelling at me as if I haven't eaten in days starving. If I don't eat a few hours before sleeping, I wake up normally. Maybe that's just me though.
    I don't believe eating at night is bad for you, but putting yourself in positions where you will be very hungry really makes it easier to give in to food temptations, thus defeating the point.

    This is critical advice. I am in a program managed by a nutritionist and MD. We are working on a goal of 10 inch reduction of my abdomen. 90% is metabolic nutrition…in the first month, I lost 2.5 inches. Weight training is also involved, but the aim is to facilitate activities I want to do…like travel = walking, carrying luggage, etc so there is walking and weight lifting. Big emphasis on protein in take. I’m still learning…man, did I forgot (never learned?) healthy nutrition. It’s impressive how grocery store layout, ads on TV, scheduled meal times from work, all conspire to put you on someone else’s agenda. 8’m learning to set my own and this advice is spot on!

    Your main message about not being able to out-train "bad nutrition" is spot on. Inspiring even. It's a great message to remind us all, although many of us fail to a significant degree even when armed with awareness. You have some of the best and most direct advice out there, plus you are second to none on mechanics and lean techniques etc. I'd advise you though to be careful and more nuanced about using 'good nutrition' as a simple label because of the level of awareness of many people. Let's always clearly separate the concepts of calories and nutrition for the less informed to start with - which I see you do seek out. Lots of so-called lean, muscular guys and girls have calorie deficits, but their nutrition is actually wanting and even crap. Many don't realise because they are young. The proof won't be til they get to their late 40 - 50s, but it will show out eventually. I know this. Nutrition to me - and what I'd love for you to articulate more - is much wider than what you put across. Yes, it's very much the macro, micro and other nutrient profiles in food; I think many followers get that...200 calories of chocolate isn't the same as 200 of fries, or 200 avocado blah blah. But it's also much more than this simplistic view.. It is about stuff like fibre type and content (especially for you very deficient Americans, even with 6 packs!): it's about salt; it's about the amount of ultra processing (and geographically where that takes place ie rules and regs in manufacture - things are not equal). ABOVE all, however, good nutrition has a MASSIVE MORAL component, greater than the individual. Good nutrition doesn't involve any torture and cruelty to animals in order to serve you your 'good' nutrition. (for which, read meat protein obsession). The fallacy about eating kilos of chicken etc (as 'good nutrition' because it is satiating) is just damn wrong and sets up generations to fail themselves, destroy their gut biome, mess their autoimmune system, and contribute excessively to the destruction of our planet. Many of your younger testosterone fuelled young men out there just hear this 'eat meat, eat more meat chicken/ fish/beef/ blah blah/ protein powder, supplements, injections etc etc then push big weights all day....There's much better protein and very good nutrition that involves no suffering, has a hugely smaller moral price to pay if you want to be a good person, and helps the planet survive - that is, plant sources of protein. These sources also don't have the inflammatory cause either that animal protein is PROVEN to have when eaten in the quantities many of your followers think is right , nor the remnants of growth hormone or antibiotics that ARE in much of US and European industrial farmed animal products, but especially beef and chicken. A simple, highly graspable, US centric example, for the uninitiated is; eat a plant burger not a beef burger. More or less the same everything macro to micro, except you get zero of the hit of cholesterol (let alone the loss of animal cruelty, environmental gain, and moral benefits...etc). So, your 'nutrition' message is good in so far as it goes; but it sure needs diversifying and clarifying when it comes to TRUE good nutrition. It must not just, in many of the followers ears, become 'eat loads of meat' as the fallback. Ps#1; I do realise you have deeper dive videos on nutrition, but what I say still holds I believe, not least the message of waking up to the amount of horrific animal torture and cruelty that you demand by stressing animal meat. Good nutrition involves stopping industrialised farming. Do this by stopping mega consumption of mass produced, animal body parts, all because those seeking chiselled muscles, body builders, beach posers etc etc think meat consumption is the main causation when it comes to getting big muscles and being 'fit', because it ain't; it's much deeper than that, as I've said. PS#2 Keep up the brilliant training and fitness exercises and, especially, form instructions, top 5 mistakes etc etc. Great stuff.

    Started 3 weeks ago removing all artificial suger and starch from my diet while setting up a varied scheme for a week (taking protein suppliment), never exceeding 2000 cal / day while doing targetted workout a minimum of 45min 6 days a week.
    I've honestly never felt better (honestly think it's mostly to do with removing sugar from the diet), body feels better, mind is more clear and I'm sleeping a hell of a lot better.., so thank you for re-affirming my process in this video! :)

      90 - 95% of my nutrition consists of salad, various nuts, fish, chicken and once every week the most lean piece of beef I can find (Just because I can't live without 😄), if I feel an overwhelming craving for something sweet I take a piece of fruit like 1/2 watermellon etc.
      1 month in and I have zero problems staying on point and also starting to see some real progress! I'm aiming for 3 months on this "diet" (unless something drastic happens over the 2nd month).

    You're so right. Most people in the gym aren't tracking, weighing meals, and doing a cheat DAY on Saturday undoing their so said deficit from the week. They look the same for years. From the conversations I've had with those people it boils down to total lack of discipline.

    Thank you for the video, Jeff. While much of the information is familiar to those of us deeply engaged in fitness, I appreciate the overview. As someone who has lost 100 lbs and passionately pursued weightlifting, I've found significant success in my fitness journey. However, despite five years in the gym and numerous cutting diets, I've struggled with persistent stubborn fat, particularly around my love handles. Even at my leanest, when my overall frame appeared overly skinny, these areas remained unchanged. I've contemplated solutions like liposuction, but ultimately, I've learned to accept and love myself as I am. I just want to highlight that for some, stubborn fat can be a challenging, nearly insurmountable issue, and it's important to manage expectations and focus on overall health and self-acceptance.

    I'm not a nutritionist! For me when I started changing up my diet, I transitioned from that college life style of eat anything, drink anything, to cooking all of my meals. Even if the meal was unhealthy, I noticed that making all of my meals made me wayyyyy more aware of exactly what was in my food and its unhealthy components. I then learned ways to make much healthier and very tasty meals.
    I try to give this advice to many peeps, don't jump right in front fried chicken to raw broccoli.... Start with cooking, learn to have fun with what you eat, and then find healthier n tasty new menu items!

    Jeff's absolutely right about not being able to exercise your way out of a bad diet. You can jog around a track or do the stair master all you want, but if your nutrition is trash, you will never, EVER get rid of the fat. You've really got to keep it within the range of 2000-2300 net calories per day. It's not that hard if you eat right. Cut out added sugar. Meats like chicken, salmon, pork, and beef taste really good; combined with veggies, it's a win for the day. 500 calories for breakfast, 600 for lunch, leaves you with 1100-1200 more for dinner (plus few more, depending on how many calories you torched that day). That means a good sized London broil streak and broccoli for dinner, plus some yogurt and a half cup Catalina Crunch for dessert, with no shame.

    @thisis5123 Рік тому

    Perfect simple explanation. What can not be understated is the addition of muscle mass- and it’s ability to burn fat while at rest. Even while Sleeping. Once you built that muscle, even 5-10lb over the course of 1-5 years this is such a massive amount of calorie demanding tissue that long term it will be what separates you from having to focus as hard on the diet decisions to keep the weight off.
    I just finished my second bodybuilding off-season mass gaining phase, and I’ve been at 5100 calories 5 days per week on my gym days. I had to force that food down for the first 2 months till my system adapted to that higher food volume.
    So now that means starting my cut, I can basically cut out Gatorade as my beverage with food for diet soda or seltzer water and hit a 500 calorie deficit just from cutting out the sugar in drinks.

    100% agree, nutrition is absolute key. I tried, and failed to lose body fat, for over a year i yoyoed up and down with all sorts of different diets. Then a friend suggested Keto. I researched this diet before going into it because my doctor didn't recommend it, but i was desperate to lose the large beer belly i had. So i eased my way into Keto gradually reducing the carbs, BUT NOT increasing the FAT at first, then i started walking daily , 10 mins at first gradually building my time up. Once i got the carbs down to about a 100 a day i gradually increase my fat intake whilst still driving down the carbs to around 20 to 50 a day. I tested regularly to make sure i was in ketosis. It took two to three months to really see the benefits. The weight started to really fall off. I then started to do intermittent fasting + I was walking for 60 mins a day at this point and after about six months i was down 40Lb- after 9 months i was down 75 lb. Diet is defiantly the major reason i got fat and Keto was my way out of the problem. Many people say Keto is bad for you long term but two years in i am still down 75Lb and feel really great, no side effects. Most of what i cut was junk food but i did give up the booze and i missed it a lot at first but now not so much, i sleep so much better now i,m off the booze completely. FYI i'm 65 years old and have a current heart condition. Since my weight loss and recent blood and MRI tests the cardiologist has been amazed at the my transformation. I have just started Jeff beginners muscle gain programme due to sarcopenia and i have increased the amount of protein and carbs i now take, but Carbs are still watched very closely.
