I went to Costco with my mom today and had a slice of pepperoni pizza in the car, it was delicious! I can’t began to tell you how my mom looked at me and criticized me for eating something “bad”. Being able to respond respectfully how one slice of pizza isn’t throwing away my progress is huge! My mother doesn’t understand what matters most is what you do on the daily basis. I don’t eat pizza on the daily. Not even weekly! I enjoyed my pizza and I realize I have a healthy relationship with food and I am so grateful for that! Love your videos!
Been binge free for almost 2 years! Went from hiding in my car in front of the gym, eating a box of donuts, nightly, to not even craving sweets. Learning some solid habits. Thank you for never sugar coating things (pun intended)
Point number 3 is so true… I’ve been “watching” what I eat for 5 months. I lost 23lbs with limited activity. I was strict the first 3 months, after that I’ve been able to have my favorite meals in moderation and still lost weight… still losing and I’m not deprived at all
If it wasn't for Jordan I would have fallen into depression because of the eating disorder. But this man showed me that I am not alone with it. Thanks man♥️
In a world of (much) nonsense, Jordan makes EVERYTHING make sense. You have saved and helped so many, Jordan. No words can express how thankful I am for your content.
Thank you for your quality content. I feel, with all of the diet industry noise out there, you are a clear voice above everything else, simply promoting actual health. So, thank you. You have given me the balance I wanted after swinging hard over to intuitive eating and health at every size. You have shown me I can have the balance of both, peace with food, self acceptance and love, as well as strive for improved health.
@@jules22385 yeah, it had some good aspects for me but now I am stuck in a place with about 20 pounds I don't really want. So now I want to navigate losing that without being controlled by food or attaching that with a moral standpoint. And honestly, I know I just need to be more consistent with a plan I can actually work into my lifestyle. But following Jordan and watching his content has helped tremendously!
This video is such a hidden gem! There are so many takeaways regarding many topics that are struggle areas for so many!! I personally struggle with the all-or-nothing mentality and think there are so many good takeaways with tracking/not tracking and periods of balance/unbalance. So many times I get caught up in the daily moments and forget the big picture and goal. I love the concept of "One donut will not make you fat, just like one salad will not make you skinny." Such a good statement to reflect on when you get caught up in the moment. Thank you for sharing the factual-based videos, with no BS!!
I found this really helpful as someone who goes to calorie counting for my weight-loss journey. Over the years, I've tried many things (keto, veganism, etc to lose weight) more recently weight watchers (2022). In WW, I lost 15 lb but gained it all back. I knew I was restricting too much and being shameful about things like donuts etc. So this year I'm just counting calories, not restricting, and creating habits and I'm doing well and I've had donuts, ice-cream, and alcohol in January and I still lost 5 lbs because I've been consistent. 🌟
Same here..Sunday to Friday I eat clean, calories are counted and on Saturday I have my one cheat meal while trying to stay in a calorie balance for that day. Then Sunday start all over again. I enjoy this way of eating. I lost 18lbs so far in 5 weeks, am healthy and keep my lean muscle mass. On my cheat day I make it interesting. I call it work for your meal. For example if I want to enjoy a fast food meal I pull a number from a bowl and lets say it’s Jack in the Box. Ok that is were I’m heading to, from there I pull another number and lets say it’s states you can have a beef or chicken item, so I choose a burger or chicken sandwich or nuggets. I do this three different times on that day. The key to making this fun for me, is that I have to walk to every single place to get my treats. From my place to jack’s is roughly 1.7 miles and lets say my next stop is McDonald’s that 1.5 miles away from Jacks. I get to enjoy my cheat meals but at the same time, getting my steps in as well. Win Win for me. You gotta make it fun or the journey will not be fun.
I have been working with a dietitian for a year now. Everything you have spoken about is spot on. I have changed a few of my habits to avoid boredom eating. I have started again to count my calories. I had lost 60 pounds in 2017 and am now 70 pounds heavier. One day at a time and one calorie at a time for many years again before losing weight to the point where I am feeling better with mobility. Thanks for everything you do for us.
Decided to play this video on my TV. I’ve been trying to get my hubby interested and this did the trick! Not to mention he forgives out that Jordan is highly intelligent man sharing valuable info and not trying to sell us anything.
Great topic and one I certainly see myself in with regard to sugar cravings. To your point, I went away for almost a month for work and lost a bunch of body fat just not being surrounded by junk foods, snacks, and my kryptinite…peanut butter. I only ate the food I bought for just me instead of my house with a wife and kids. Wife is a “moderator” when it comes to junk and always tells me that my issue is that I deprive myself. I have entertained that many times over the years but I always gain a bunch of fat and can’t stop bingeing on junk. I can be a tornado of crushing carbs (and fat from peanut butter) in a 10-15 minute span than can equal a days calories for some people:) I am definitely an “abstainer” , whereby I am good when I don’t have it and eat healthy. It’s only when I let myself get convinced I should “enjoy” junk that I deep end and take three days to reset. This is almost always done by myself when others are in bed or away as I assume I’m ashamed. This is why living as a single young man, it was easy to be lean and why it’s so hard now. Who doesn’t like sugary fatty great tasting food…it’s hard to be surrounded by it and be expected not to indulge repeatedly. Love my family more than anything, but I wish my wife could understand / care about my struggle. I’m doing good right now as I lost fat and am at a good body weight, but experience tells me that situations that cause binges will take their toll at some point which sucks.
Jordan I hope you don’t find this comment offensive! I love listening to your advice because it is simply NORMAL. It isn’t flashy or the latest hot diet just normal. You are providing so much great content!! Thank you
Jordan is the best!!!!! I'm always telling my clients the same thing day in and day out!!! I thought I was the only trainer/nutrition coach that is direct and honest!
This is great! Thank you for sharing your food struggles. Often times some believe we are the only humans that struggle With disordered eating especially when it is hidden under sports performance. Everyone told me I got the “good” addiction in our family. This was by far the best explanation of emo eating and bingeing. Thank you!
This has been so eye opening. I know which food I'm taking out of my house for 30 days. So many amazing tips in here. And doable. Everything seems so difficult but the way you lay it out it's actually simple. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for being so real about things! Its always super nice to hear an actual true opinion without the constant bullsh** of trying to sell something along with it. It has been so easy to actually listen to you talk about subjects like this because of how down to earth you truly are. Keep it up and thanks for the great video!
There hasn’t been a video in time that spoke to me like this. I’m almost done with the first listen, when it ends I plan to replay it again while I clean. So grateful for ya Jordan !
The sugar addiction portion hit home for me. And the apple test! Yes I use to tell this to my kids. When they were bored I would say have a apple or banana. Of course they said no because they were not hungry, they were bored. And now my girls are woman and not over weight or rather have no food issues just because I would say, hungry eat an apple. I also use to share with my kids, you can have anything you want. But just portion it out. They did and have. Thank you. All in moderation!🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ and the ice cream 🍨 portion, I just buy the mini cups! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love me the bright lines! I also pair a treat with a protein. Helps me!
I work with a bunch of big guys! Once I get to work, I feel like I'm always hungry. We order out all the time, and I am constantly thinking about food at work. When I am off, I don't ever think about it like when I am at work. I have done things to help with this and I personally have found this advice is solid and very helpful!!
I really enjoy the longer style of videos. I feel like they give you more room to explain things. My anxiety food is loaded french fries it's impossible to know how many calories are in them especially when sharing with someone else but one plate of loaded french fries never made anyone obese so I'll work on that.
I have gone through periods of extreme restriction and periods of extreme binge eating. As someone in the military, my diet is part of my job and something I cannot disregard. I appreciate your Instagram and videos more than you know. Thank you so much for making fitness sustainable and accessible to people at all levels.
Thank you for sharing. I find myself rooting around the kitchen when I'm looking for something to do and have to remind myself I'm not hungry and to go do something else.
Thank you so much for this video. When I came across my content it felt so much more honest. My thing that changed my whole world view on diet, weight and movement was sleep! Once I got some good sleep...everything became easier. Still some effort, but things felt attainable.
I love the content of this video and will likely watch it more than once. Something that really stood out is the explanation behind “addiction to sugar” being a behavior pattern addiction and not truly a substance addiction.
Jordan, I watched the WHOLE VIDEO start to finish! Attention span for the win! I am really trying to implement what you said about transitioning from calorie counting gradually. What you said about each meal being like a "countdown" really resonated with me and I'm going to try to not track at least one day this week and see how I do. I've been tracking for years and I need to start trusting myself. I was on your podcast awhile back and I love that your still making quality and helpful content. Thanks!
Love! To create balance there needs to be unbalance, so true! Took 6 months of absolutely no alcohol for me to break the anxiety and bad relationship and can now have a sip, feel satisfied and move on or have more if desired. Now working on boredom eating/ stress eating during work days. I am going to use this tip to help focus on the future relationship w/ stress and embrace the suck. Love your content and I share it with family frequently when they are searching for advice! Keep it up!
I love the way you make difficult subjects like these comprehensible. Your message of consistency and not panicking or giving up when the scale doesn't move (or goes up) really helps me. I hear you in my head when that happens. Boredom eating is still a thing though. Thanks for this video!
Love this video! I have been searching for a way to lost weight without having to go ham counting calories because I become obsessive and that’s not sustainable. Hearing that there has to be imbalance before there’s balance makes a lot of sense to me. Also taking the emotion out of eating and looking at it as calories = energy is so simple and it rang a bell with me in this video. Know how much you’re putting in your tank!! Thank you so much for all you do!
Omg! I just finished this video and wow is it helpful! I struggle with binge eating and all or nothing thinking. I need to realize that one bad meal won’t ruin my progress, it’s the binges I have for the next week because I fell off are what’s making it worse! I also liked the eat a damn apple and if you don’t want it, you are bored, not hungry! Amazing tips! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to put these into practice! =)
Jordan, you are one of the first people I followed when I was searching for a balanced approach to eating and working out and I’m so thankful for you and your content. I lost 30 lbs and gained it back and I know I need to address my inner world with a therapist on that.. but I felt really satiated on my calorie cut when I lost the weight… just got busy with work and depressed and stopped trying. I’m back to caring and working on myself and taking it one day at a time. Please please please pick me for the month of inner circle!! ❤ ✋🏼
Realized as I was watching this I’ve been snacking more since working from home due to boredom! Definitely have binge eating tendencies so I’m going to that video next. This really makes me want to join inner circle!
Thank you for this video. The balance/imbalance segment was encouraging to me. My mom passed away 2 weeks ago and I was unable to workout for 9 days. I have been beating myself up, but have gotten back on track. Thank you for always being on point in you videos.
Another great video filled with awesome information and Jordan's loving sense of humor. Love how Jordan respected all levels of eating. The sugar / covid analogy really hit home to help me understand it is not addictive. Keep creating the awesome content - love it all.
Can not wait to sit down and watch this video. I love to read so I downloaded the transcript so I can highlight. This has been something I have struggled with for years and am trying to conquer once and for all.
Great resource! So glad you took the time to break it out. I love the “That’s what she said” references. So many of these resonated with me. Thank you!
Literally went from listening to your and Mike's 'How to Become a Personal Trainer' Podcast to watching this! Your content is always top of my list and every time I watch/listen to you, I walk away with valuable lessons! Thank you! I was lucky to be one of your last 1:1 clients and am forever grateful for that because you changed my life, improved my health, and helped me become a better coach myself! I am forever grateful!
Thank you. This video is great for everyone. A point that resonated with me was that you cannot focus on everything all at once! It can be hard to let go of certain things in order to focus on something you really want or need.
Thank you for another great video . I struggled with binge eating for a long time and I haven't binge in 3 months now thanks to your book and your videos . I have lost 15 pounds just being in a very moderate calorie deficit.. very doable and sustainable.. my relationship with food is getting better by the day and I dont hate myself for eating a piece of cake or ice cream or any food that I love.. thank you and keep up the great work on those videos. You are one of the rare clear honest voices in the fitness industry. Also, your sense of humor is unbeatable 🤍
i love your content (and you!), jordan. i've been struggling, though, ever since i watched and have debated saying anything because i think the issue is probably my own. BUT. i am in recovery from some pretty severe ED. i say i'm in recovery because i am weight-restored and have a MUCH improved relationship with food. will i ever be free from some form of ED? i'm not sure. it's possible i won't be. but, i do still weight all of my food. i realize i know enough probably not to. but, i do. and while i am in a building phase, it's helpful to make sure i can count and then, track, my protein and overall caloric intake. i am viewing this tracking as more of a means to reach my goals today vs. a control mechanism. what i feel triggered by is the comment about something to the effect of, 'if you count your spinach, you have an f'ing problem.' and maybe you believe that. i just wonder if it's truly the message you're intending to convey for those who have dealt with a disease that could literally take their lives. it's a pretty damning sentiment for what are known mental health challenges. i dunno. i just care deeply about people and know that youtube content can be so impactful. i don't want anyone to feel too far gone that could truly benefit from your message. much love.
This is first actual YT video of yours I've watched. Great stuff! Thanks so much for your common sense and thoughtful tips and advice. Keep up the great work.
I know you have said all of this many times in your podcast, but it’s nice to a) hear it again b) have it show up on my newly released you tubes to listen to and understand again. Thank you
Also, thank you for distinguishing between boredom eating and binge eating. I have been saying I binge eat, but now I think it’s boredom. I chose to not say “just boredom” because it’s still making me eat way over my calories, but I’m trying to think of habits I could replace it with and I never would have been as clear without your information. So, thank you!
Watching and listening to your content has helped me identify some unhealthy traits I have in relation to food, but your content has also helped me improve those things! I used to stress about having “treats” in my pantry so I would eat them all in one or two days so I wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore. I figured I could take a huge hit to calories in one day then get back on track. Listening to your podcast and UA-cam videos has helped me with that and now I have cookies and poptarts in my pantry and I don’t think about them anymore. Sometimes I get to work them into my day and other days I don’t. Thanks for all the great content and breaking it down the way you do!
I just LOVE these video's. They are so informative and make me realise that most of the time I'm overthinking this. I just need to stick to the basics, which is Calorie Deficit. I am for SURE a boredom eater as I work from home, then I would just get up from behind the computer and walk to the kitchen (aimlessly) and grab something (unnecessary from the kids' snack cupboard) and eat mindlessly... I need to work on that more. Thank you so much, Jordan! I love these.
Followed you for years on insta and only recently come across here. I am in a dark place with my habits and I have found your channel at the right time! Thank you for providing all of your knowledge to help people. I really found this video helpful.
You are my fave fitness expert! So straightforward and no BS. This is extremely helpful to me as a consumer who gets bombarded by so many mixed messages out there. Thank you for shedding this clear and consise light!!! ❤
Totally agree! I know people who have stopped their watch during a marathon (race) if they stop at an aid station or go to the porta potty. Then they take the lower time and say that was their marathon time! Never stop your watch during an event, if you need a break for the bathroom or at an aid station to be able to complete the distance that’s fine, but that time counts! (Eg. You wouldn’t be able to complete the distance without those stops so don’t take the lower time!).
After listening to all your podcasts a year or two ago, it's so good to have something in my ears (and eyes this time!) to help remind me of the things I know but still struggle with in the day to day.
👏🏾👏🏾Standing ovation for this great presentation 👏🏾👏🏾 I felt like I was listening to a Master Class on healthy eating habits 🤩 Last year, I was STRICT carnivore for 8 months - so strict that I didn’t even eat dairy, not even butter! I went on vacation after living that super restrictive zero carb lifestyle for 8 months, and on vacay I went HAM on ALL of the foods I couldn’t eat. I binged like crazy on all the carbs, sugar, etc. I could get my hands on. I was majorly overeating for 2 months and gained 30lbs!! 😖😣 After the 2 month binge-fest, I restricted like crazy again for 2 months trying high fat carnivore, then I moved to flexible dieting for 2 months. Flexible dieting was working for me, but life got crazy, and I had a mental breakdown due to piling too many things on my plate 😢😭 Since early December I have either been binge eating on junk food, or just plain overeating 😰 I desperately want to have a healthy relationship with food, and put an end to the yo-yo dieting and the restricting and binge eating. I am turning 40 this year, and I will be watching videos like this one to get my mind right and cultivate a balanced mindset about food, my body, and my health. Thank you for this amazing content! 🤓
Thanks for your content Jordan! “Thats what she said” 😂 Very informative video! My only complaint is the Rob Lowe Atkins ads that kept interrupting your wonderful video. 😢 lol
Thank you Jordan....Your straightforward, and caring way you reach your client base is one of the best!! As someone who had VSG, surgery lost a tremendous amount of weight, and now gained it back....😥 I appreciate your honesty, and the high importance of all behaviors around eating, and nutrition. THANK YOU! ❤ Congratulations on your success and family!
Your content is extremely valuable. You make it relatable and easy to understand. All of it resonated with me. You are one of the reasons I have a better relationship with food and my quality of life. Please keep making videos!
Don't know how I came across your channel, this is my first time watching one of your videos. So amazing! I've had disordered eating since I was 14 (probably before) when my mom gave me my first calorie counting book. Anorexia then severe bulimia and now after all the years of restricted eating I've got into binge eating and 'forgetting' how to clean eating. It's like being out of control and way too many emotions involved thrown in. Your video is so different. It's not shit is what I'm trying to say. It's just hard truth. I love it. Liked, subscribed, and shared with a close friend.
Hi Jordan Im fairly new to following you. I love your no bullshit approach to fitness and healthy eating. Your content is quality and I learn something new each time i listen! Thank you!! Shelley
I absolutely love the idea of requesting the to go box when you get your meal! I'm definitely going to be using this strategy from now on! Great video!
Thank you Jordan! So many takeaways! I want to listen again! You have the best content, truly the best! I always look forward to your new videos! Keep them coming!
I had no idea you had an eating disorder early on....so much great info here for all of us to glean from. Thanks for sharing this no nonsense approach. I will have to listen to this one probably a few more times to catch it all. I did enjoy your last segment on eating out, and ordering the to go box with your order to cut your meal in half. That is so helpful, I don't know why I haven't done that! I am going out to lunch tomorrow and am in a cut, trying to improve my consistency for February and I plan to use this at lunch!!! Yay -- I feel as though I just won the lottery! lol
First time I watch your UA-cam channel ! Love the content . I could see the time and effort and passion in the work you do . Thanks . Will be watching all Other video while I run at 3.30am
Thank you so much for making this video. It is such quality content, honestly worth paying for but I’m grateful that this is free. I’ve been in such a tough place with my relationship with food and binge eating but so many of the people in my life around me don’t understand or can’t relate. This video makes me feel like I’m not alone and gives me hope for the future. I’m always living my life feeling like I’m failing over and over again because I can’t keep everything balanced. Your honesty and raw realness in this video has helped so much. ❤
Underrated tip: Salad dressing on the side!!!!! So many restaurants drench their salads and it's easier to have more control over it when you're just dabbling it on as you go.
I've been dealing with a difficult relationship with food for the last years and now I feel I got to the point where I know that is not because the sweets that I going to sudenly gain fat. I train a lot and heavy so a I need the right fuel to do it well but at the same time I struggle with the necessity to eat more during the day because I don't wont to gain fat. Losing fat is really hard for me but I know that consistency and balance are going to help me to get the results I want, some day at least :D I love this video and your thoughts about food made me realise that the amount of shitty information we see every day in social media, just help to create more and more bad relationships with food in general. Fortunetly I think this is changing day by day but you still need to do a lot of search to get the right information. Thank you for your help!
I went to Costco with my mom today and had a slice of pepperoni pizza in the car, it was delicious! I can’t began to tell you how my mom looked at me and criticized me for eating something “bad”.

A lot of restaurants have lower calorie menus I love ordering from them.

I am struggling with binge eating. Doing better but I still have my days. Any tips that helped you, please?
I have found not to drink alcohol helps lessen binges@@GM-ue8xc

I’ve overcome a binge eating disorder and you’ve played a huge part in that. I can’t thank you enough!
May I ask how?

You should be the POPE of fitness. Thanks to you I have managed to lose weight and keep it off. Thank you for starting to make youtube videos again.
I loved your explanation that there needs to be an unbalanced period to achieve a balanced period. Very insightful!
You redirect, re-energise, educate me like I’m listening to a friend. Thanks as always. 😊
This video is such a hidden gem! There are so many takeaways regarding many topics that are struggle areas for so many!! I personally struggle with the all-or-nothing mentality and think there are so many good takeaways with tracking/not tracking and periods of balance/unbalance. So many times I get caught up in the daily moments and forget the big picture and goal. I love the concept of "One donut will not make you fat, just like one salad will not make you skinny." Such a good statement to reflect on when you get caught up in the moment. Thank you for sharing the factual-based videos, with no BS!!
The world NEEDS this information as a part of a curriculum in schools.
I found this really helpful as someone who goes to calorie counting for my weight-loss journey. Over the years, I've tried many things (keto, veganism, etc to lose weight) more recently weight watchers (2022). In WW, I lost 15 lb but gained it all back.

I have been working with a dietitian for a year now. Everything you have spoken about is spot on. I have changed a few of my habits to avoid boredom eating. I have started again to count my calories. I had lost 60 pounds in 2017 and am now 70 pounds heavier. One day at a time and one calorie at a time for many years again before losing weight to the point where I am feeling better with mobility. Thanks for everything you do for us.
Decided to play this video on my TV. I’ve been trying to get my hubby interested and this did the trick! Not to mention he forgives out that Jordan is highly intelligent man sharing valuable info and not trying to sell us anything.
I appreciate you addressing the hunger issue. I feel like I’m hungrier than other people and it was nice to hear that validated.
Great topic and one I certainly see myself in with regard to sugar cravings. To your point, I went away for almost a month for work and lost a bunch of body fat just not being surrounded by junk foods, snacks, and my kryptinite…peanut butter. I only ate the food I bought for just me instead of my house with a wife and kids.
Wife is a “moderator” when it comes to junk and always tells me that my issue is that I deprive myself. I have entertained that many times over the years but I always gain a bunch of fat and can’t stop bingeing on junk. I can be a tornado of crushing carbs (and fat from peanut butter) in a 10-15 minute span than can equal a days calories for some people:)
I am definitely an “abstainer” , whereby I am good when I don’t have it and eat healthy. It’s only when I let myself get convinced I should “enjoy” junk that I deep end and take three days to reset. This is almost always done by myself when others are in bed or away as I assume I’m ashamed.
This is why living as a single young man, it was easy to be lean and why it’s so hard now. Who doesn’t like sugary fatty great tasting food…it’s hard to be surrounded by it and be expected not to indulge repeatedly.
Love my family more than anything, but I wish my wife could understand / care about my struggle.
I’m doing good right now as I lost fat and am at a good body weight, but experience tells me that situations that cause binges will take their toll at some point which sucks.
Jordan I hope you don’t find this comment offensive! I love listening to your advice because it is simply NORMAL. It isn’t flashy or the latest hot diet just normal. You are providing so much great content!! Thank you
In a world where people push extremes I love how your content highlights the importance of balance and is backed by science!
Jordan is the best!!!!! I'm always telling my clients the same thing day in and day out!!! I thought I was the only trainer/nutrition coach that is direct and honest!
Thank you for differentiating between binge eating and boredom eating. Makes a whole lot more sense now
This is great! Thank you for sharing your food struggles. Often times some believe we are the only humans that struggle With disordered eating especially when it is hidden under sports performance. Everyone told me I got the “good” addiction in our family. This was by far the best explanation of emo eating and bingeing. Thank you!
Yes i want a video about good before and after workout. Please include vegan food as well
This has been so eye opening. I know which food I'm taking out of my house for 30 days. So many amazing tips in here. And doable. Everything seems so difficult but the way you lay it out it's actually simple. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video covering these topics. All 3 of those (emotional eating, boredom eating, and sugar addiction) definitely apply to me!!!
So glad it helped! Also...you win a FREE month in The Inner Circle. Email me jordan@syattfitness.com and we'll get you set up.
Thank you so much for being so real about things! Its always super nice to hear an actual true opinion without the constant bullsh** of trying to sell something along with it. It has been so easy to actually listen to you talk about subjects like this because of how down to earth you truly are. Keep it up and thanks for the great video!
There hasn’t been a video in time that spoke to me like this. I’m almost done with the first listen, when it ends I plan to replay it again while I clean. So grateful for ya Jordan !
The sugar addiction portion hit home for me. And the apple test! Yes I use to tell this to my kids. When they were bored I would say have a apple or banana. Of course they said no because they were not hungry, they were bored. And now my girls are woman and not over weight or rather have no food issues just because I would say, hungry eat an apple. I also use to share with my kids, you can have anything you want. But just portion it out. They did and have. Thank you. All in moderation!🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ and the ice cream 🍨 portion, I just buy the mini cups! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love me the bright lines! I also pair a treat with a protein. Helps me!
I work with a bunch of big guys! Once I get to work, I feel like I'm always hungry. We order out all the time, and I am constantly thinking about food at work. When I am off, I don't ever think about it like when I am at work. I have done things to help with this and I personally have found this advice is solid and very helpful!!
I really enjoy the longer style of videos. I feel like they give you more room to explain things. My anxiety food is loaded french fries it's impossible to know how many calories are in them especially when sharing with someone else but one plate of loaded french fries never made anyone obese so I'll work on that.
I have gone through periods of extreme restriction and periods of extreme binge eating. As someone in the military, my diet is part of my job and something I cannot disregard. I appreciate your Instagram and videos more than you know. Thank you so much for making fitness sustainable and accessible to people at all levels.
I must say this is your best video to date! No BS and full of truth!
Thank you for sharing. I find myself rooting around the kitchen when I'm looking for something to do and have to remind myself I'm not hungry and to go do something else.
Thank you so much for this video. When I came across my content it felt so much more honest. My thing that changed my whole world view on diet, weight and movement was sleep! Once I got some good sleep...everything became easier. Still some effort, but things felt attainable.
I love the content of this video and will likely watch it more than once. Something that really stood out is the explanation behind “addiction to sugar” being a behavior pattern addiction and not truly a substance addiction.
Thank you so much for this video! I definitely struggle with boredom eating.
Jordan, I watched the WHOLE VIDEO start to finish! Attention span for the win! I am really trying to implement what you said about transitioning from calorie counting gradually. What you said about each meal being like a "countdown" really resonated with me and I'm going to try to not track at least one day this week and see how I do. I've been tracking for years and I need to start trusting myself. I was on your podcast awhile back and I love that your still making quality and helpful content. Thanks!
Love! To create balance there needs to be unbalance, so true!
Took 6 months of absolutely no alcohol for me to break the anxiety and bad relationship and can now have a sip, feel satisfied and move on or have more if desired.
Now working on boredom eating/ stress eating during work days. I am going to use this tip to help focus on the future relationship w/ stress and embrace the suck.
Love your content and I share it with family frequently when they are searching for advice! Keep it up!
I love the way you make difficult subjects like these comprehensible. Your message of consistency and not panicking or giving up when the scale doesn't move (or goes up) really helps me. I hear you in my head when that happens. Boredom eating is still a thing though. Thanks for this video!
Love this video! I have been searching for a way to lost weight without having to go ham counting calories because I become obsessive and that’s not sustainable. Hearing that there has to be imbalance before there’s balance makes a lot of sense to me. Also taking the emotion out of eating and looking at it as calories = energy is so simple and it rang a bell with me in this video. Know how much you’re putting in your tank!! Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm struggling with emotional eating and this was very needed right now.
Been following you on IG for awhile. Just started following your UA-cam channel. This video really resonated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Omg! I just finished this video and wow is it helpful! I struggle with binge eating and all or nothing thinking. I need to realize that one bad meal won’t ruin my progress, it’s the binges I have for the next week because I fell off are what’s making it worse! I also liked the eat a damn apple and if you don’t want it, you are bored, not hungry! Amazing tips! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to put these into practice! =)
Jordan, you are one of the first people I followed when I was searching for a balanced approach to eating and working out and I’m so thankful for you and your content. I lost 30 lbs and gained it back and I know I need to address my inner world with a therapist on that.. but I felt really satiated on my calorie cut when I lost the weight… just got busy with work and depressed and stopped trying. I’m back to caring and working on myself and taking it one day at a time. Please please please pick me for the month of inner circle!! ❤ ✋🏼
One of my favorite fitness influencers. Jordan you are the voice of reason for so many! Thank you 💪🏻
This video has changed my whole mindset. THANKFUL FOR YOU ANF YOUR CONTENT JORAND!!
Jordan you explain things so well. You are indeed a natural educator. Thank you so much. I am sharing this every where.
With everyone trying to solve the mystery of why we struggle with food its nice to hear something that is logical ad actually makes sense ~
Would love to try out the inner circle. Needing some extra support and accountability. Great video Jordan
Realized as I was watching this I’ve been snacking more since working from home due to boredom! Definitely have binge eating tendencies so I’m going to that video next. This really makes me want to join inner circle!
Thank you for this video. The balance/imbalance segment was encouraging to me. My mom passed away 2 weeks ago and I was unable to workout for 9 days. I have been beating myself up, but have gotten back on track. Thank you for always being on point in you videos.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Wishing you hope and healing
Another great video filled with awesome information and Jordan's loving sense of humor. Love how Jordan respected all levels of eating. The sugar / covid analogy really hit home to help me understand it is not addictive. Keep creating the awesome content - love it all.
Can not wait to sit down and watch this video. I love to read so I downloaded the transcript so I can highlight. This has been something I have struggled with for years and am trying to conquer once and for all.
Great resource! So glad you took the time to break it out. I love the “That’s what she said” references. So many of these resonated with me. Thank you!
Yes! Please do a peri workout nutrition vid. I’m highly interested in your take
God I am so happy you are back filming YT videos.
Makes me so happy.
Had to watch til boredom eating and the information was too good not to just keep watching! Appreciated this video so much
Always honest and helpful! No tricks! 🙂
Literally went from listening to your and Mike's 'How to Become a Personal Trainer' Podcast to watching this! Your content is always top of my list and every time I watch/listen to you, I walk away with valuable lessons! Thank you! I was lucky to be one of your last 1:1 clients and am forever grateful for that because you changed my life, improved my health, and helped me become a better coach myself! I am forever grateful!
Thank you. This video is great for everyone. A point that resonated with me was that you cannot focus on everything all at once! It can be hard to let go of certain things in order to focus on something you really want or need.
I suffer from boredom eating , mindless eating and sugar addiction. I hope this video puts some light on me
So glad to see you back on UA-cam! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned so much.
Thank you for another great video . I struggled with binge eating for a long time and I haven't binge in 3 months now thanks to your book and your videos . I have lost 15 pounds just being in a very moderate calorie deficit.. very doable and sustainable.. my relationship with food is getting better by the day and I dont hate myself for eating a piece of cake or ice cream or any food that I love.. thank you and keep up the great work on those videos. You are one of the rare clear honest voices in the fitness industry.
Also, your sense of humor is unbeatable 🤍
i love your content (and you!), jordan. i've been struggling, though, ever since i watched and have debated saying anything because i think the issue is probably my own. BUT. i am in recovery from some pretty severe ED. i say i'm in recovery because i am weight-restored and have a MUCH improved relationship with food. will i ever be free from some form of ED? i'm not sure. it's possible i won't be. but, i do still weight all of my food. i realize i know enough probably not to. but, i do. and while i am in a building phase, it's helpful to make sure i can count and then, track, my protein and overall caloric intake. i am viewing this tracking as more of a means to reach my goals today vs. a control mechanism. what i feel triggered by is the comment about something to the effect of, 'if you count your spinach, you have an f'ing problem.' and maybe you believe that. i just wonder if it's truly the message you're intending to convey for those who have dealt with a disease that could literally take their lives. it's a pretty damning sentiment for what are known mental health challenges. i dunno. i just care deeply about people and know that youtube content can be so impactful. i don't want anyone to feel too far gone that could truly benefit from your message. much love.
This is first actual YT video of yours I've watched. Great stuff! Thanks so much for your common sense and thoughtful tips and advice. Keep up the great work.
I have officially gone down a rabbit hole. At least I am walking while I listen to this one!
I know you have said all of this many times in your podcast, but it’s nice to a) hear it again b) have it show up on my newly released you tubes to listen to and understand again. Thank you
Also, thank you for distinguishing between boredom eating and binge eating. I have been saying I binge eat, but now I think it’s boredom. I chose to not say “just boredom” because it’s still making me eat way over my calories, but I’m trying to think of habits I could replace it with and I never would have been as clear without your information. So, thank you!
Watching and listening to your content has helped me identify some unhealthy traits I have in relation to food, but your content has also helped me improve those things! I used to stress about having “treats” in my pantry so I would eat them all in one or two days so I wouldn’t have to worry about them anymore. I figured I could take a huge hit to calories in one day then get back on track. Listening to your podcast and UA-cam videos has helped me with that and now I have cookies and poptarts in my pantry and I don’t think about them anymore. Sometimes I get to work them into my day and other days I don’t. Thanks for all the great content and breaking it down the way you do!
I just LOVE these video's. They are so informative and make me realise that most of the time I'm overthinking this. I just need to stick to the basics, which is Calorie Deficit. I am for SURE a boredom eater as I work from home, then I would just get up from behind the computer and walk to the kitchen (aimlessly) and grab something (unnecessary from the kids' snack cupboard) and eat mindlessly... I need to work on that more. Thank you so much, Jordan! I love these.
Love your content! I follow what you talk about. Lost 77 lbs so far. (7 months)
Thank you Jordan! Will listen while walking next Saturday here at the Med!
Followed you for years on insta and only recently come across here. I am in a dark place with my habits and I have found your channel at the right time! Thank you for providing all of your knowledge to help people. I really found this video helpful.
This was very helpful, thanks for taking the time to put it together.
You are my fave fitness expert! So straightforward and no BS. This is extremely helpful to me as a consumer who gets bombarded by so many mixed messages out there. Thank you for shedding this clear and consise light!!! ❤
So glad it helped! Also...you win a FREE month in The Inner Circle. Email me jordan@syattfitness.com and we'll get you set up.
Totally agree! I know people who have stopped their watch during a marathon (race) if they stop at an aid station or go to the porta potty. Then they take the lower time and say that was their marathon time! Never stop your watch during an event, if you need a break for the bathroom or at an aid station to be able to complete the distance that’s fine, but that time counts! (Eg. You wouldn’t be able to complete the distance without those stops so don’t take the lower time!).
After listening to all your podcasts a year or two ago, it's so good to have something in my ears (and eyes this time!) to help remind me of the things I know but still struggle with in the day to day.
👏🏾👏🏾Standing ovation for this great presentation 👏🏾👏🏾 I felt like I was listening to a Master Class on healthy eating habits 🤩
Last year, I was STRICT carnivore for 8 months - so strict that I didn’t even eat dairy, not even butter! I went on vacation after living that super restrictive zero carb lifestyle for 8 months, and on vacay I went HAM on ALL of the foods I couldn’t eat. I binged like crazy on all the carbs, sugar, etc. I could get my hands on. I was majorly overeating for 2 months and gained 30lbs!! 😖😣
After the 2 month binge-fest, I restricted like crazy again for 2 months trying high fat carnivore, then I moved to flexible dieting for 2 months. Flexible dieting was working for me, but life got crazy, and I had a mental breakdown due to piling too many things on my plate 😢😭 Since early December I have either been binge eating on junk food, or just plain overeating 😰
I desperately want to have a healthy relationship with food, and put an end to the yo-yo dieting and the restricting and binge eating. I am turning 40 this year, and I will be watching videos like this one to get my mind right and cultivate a balanced mindset about food, my body, and my health. Thank you for this amazing content! 🤓
Love it when you upload these longer videos! Great way to spend a Tuesday morning.
Thanks for your content Jordan! “Thats what she said” 😂 Very informative video! My only complaint is the Rob Lowe Atkins ads that kept interrupting your wonderful video. 😢 lol
Thank you Jordan....Your straightforward, and caring way you reach your client base is one of the best!! As someone who had VSG, surgery lost a tremendous amount of weight, and now gained it back....😥 I appreciate your honesty, and the high importance of all behaviors around eating, and nutrition. THANK YOU! ❤ Congratulations on your success and family!
Your content is extremely valuable. You make it relatable and easy to understand. All of it resonated with me. You are one of the reasons I have a better relationship with food and my quality of life. Please keep making videos!
One of the most helpful Videos ever. Thanks Jordan for everything!!! You are so nice and helpful
Greetings from germany :)
Don't know how I came across your channel, this is my first time watching one of your videos. So amazing! I've had disordered eating since I was 14 (probably before) when my mom gave me my first calorie counting book. Anorexia then severe bulimia and now after all the years of restricted eating I've got into binge eating and 'forgetting' how to clean eating. It's like being out of control and way too many emotions involved thrown in. Your video is so different. It's not shit is what I'm trying to say. It's just hard truth. I love it. Liked, subscribed, and shared with a close friend.
Hi Jordan
Im fairly new to following you. I love your no bullshit approach to fitness and healthy eating.
Your content is quality and I learn something new each time i listen! Thank you!!
Shelley
Apple test; habit switch is such a GREAT idea!!!
I absolutely love the idea of requesting the to go box when you get your meal! I'm definitely going to be using this strategy from now on! Great video!
You're the bomb Jordan. Thanks for some of the highest quality free content out there!
I really like this video. Especially where you discuss the weight loss drugs for some people. Thank you for no judgement!
Thank you Jordan! So many takeaways! I want to listen again! You have the best content, truly the best! I always look forward to your new videos! Keep them coming!
Thank you for this !!! I used to do the apple thing but somehow slipped out of asking myself … I will have to add this back in
Last night i had a breakdown over this and now you post a video about it…coincidence? I think not. Thanks for the video Jordan 👏🏻
I had no idea you had an eating disorder early on....so much great info here for all of us to glean from. Thanks for sharing this no nonsense approach. I will have to listen to this one probably a few more times to catch it all. I did enjoy your last segment on eating out, and ordering the to go box with your order to cut your meal in half. That is so helpful, I don't know why I haven't done that! I am going out to lunch tomorrow and am in a cut, trying to improve my consistency for February and I plan to use this at lunch!!! Yay -- I feel as though I just won the lottery! lol
First time I watch your UA-cam channel ! Love the content . I could see the time and effort and passion in the work you do . Thanks . Will be watching all
Other video while I run at 3.30am
Dude it was an amazing video. Thank you so much 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for always sharing clear info.it’s so helpful to have someone not over complicate things to create confusion so you will hire them❤
Thank you so much for making this video. It is such quality content, honestly worth paying for but I’m grateful that this is free. I’ve been in such a tough place with my relationship with food and binge eating but so many of the people in my life around me don’t understand or can’t relate. This video makes me feel like I’m not alone and gives me hope for the future. I’m always living my life feeling like I’m failing over and over again because I can’t keep everything balanced. Your honesty and raw realness in this video has helped so much. ❤
You’re talking directly to me. Thank you.
Underrated tip: Salad dressing on the side!!!!! So many restaurants drench their salads and it's easier to have more control over it when you're just dabbling it on as you go.
I've been dealing with a difficult relationship with food for the last years and now I feel I got to the point where I know that is not because the sweets that I going to sudenly gain fat. I train a lot and heavy so a I need the right fuel to do it well but at the same time I struggle with the necessity to eat more during the day because I don't wont to gain fat. Losing fat is really hard for me but I know that consistency and balance are going to help me to get the results I want, some day at least :D
I love this video and your thoughts about food made me realise that the amount of shitty information we see every day in social media, just help to create more and more bad relationships with food in general. Fortunetly I think this is changing day by day but you still need to do a lot of search to get the right information.
Thank you for your help!
