@@BigNate100 I don't care if he wants to be a comedian or not, I'm just saying I don't think his jokes are funny after the first time you hear them. It gets repetitive. I don't owe him gratitude for blessing us with shit jokes. Fam.
The scary thing is that bodybuilders have to so this for months in end and how Will feels gets progressively worse as the show approaches. You can see why I developed low calorie high protein meals that are filling. Having competed 59 times I needed to develop a diet that would reduce the suffering.
Good old Greg, even when I only have his videos on in the background whilst laying games or doing other stuff, He shouts the info straight into my memory. Love you bro
18:02 you pretty much summed up my EXACT thoughts during my contest prep! The last couple weeks are so hard and I was always staying up late at night for hours watching mukbangs and planning everything I was going to indulge in after my show...Luckily I didn't rebound and actually give in but that's EXACTLY how the mindset is
I literally just got home from the gym right now and after a shower this is the first thing I see. Absolutely makes my day learning from you, your experiences and laughing with your jokes at the same time. Love you work Will!
Your point about finding the sustainable approach is a golden nugget. So many fail and go on the dreaded binge purge cycle. Slow and steady wins the race 💪
It was only one week... 'If you don’t know you’re in a deficit, that basically negates most of the negative side effects of dieting (feeling lethargic, hungry, etc).'
I went on a crash diet while working as a corporate teacher and I can tell you, talking to people for 3-to-4 hours a day FLOORED me more than any leg day could have.
Probably one of the best videos you've made. Everything you described is basically how I feel everyday, all the time. Meaning I've been crash dieting without even knowing it. Gonna increase my food intake now, hopefully that does good things for my strength and my energy levels
Actually pretty good. First time I've actually met my weekly goals for cardio + seeing awesome strength gains in my upper body, which has always been a weak point. Thank you for asking
Hunger is caused by Ghrelin, a hormone which comes in waves, like literally waves on the beach. You feel hungry for half an hour, get busy, focus on something else for 30 minutes and the hunger goes away and it comes back a few hours later. When I cut I always push my dinner way into the night like 9-10pm to curb my late night cravings. I know some people don’t like going to sleep feeling stuffed but that’s what I do.
That's the time in which we havd dinner in Spain and ot works perfectly for us for that exact reason, normally dinner is the last thing we eat before going to bed, but of course our dinner is quite light and the biggest meal is the lunch
@@aliciagomez8115 same in Italy but I think we eat more meals in general than a lot of places. Dinner is always around 8-9pm or generally close to sleep but we usually eat around 5-6pm too after lunch. It’s definitely snack like but it feels like it should be dedicated as part of how we eat here
When on such big deficit, it’s not the feeling of hunger that gets to you. It’s the overall lack of energy. It makes you wonder if it’s worth it. And then one night you just get really hungry and you overeat.
@@powerpuff4ever Which part of Italy are you from? Torino here and tbh I haven't had merenda since I was like 8, and I don't know anyone who does either. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat when you're in the office, and honestly it's just completely unnecessary. I usually have _two_ meals a day, lunch and dinner. This way you can eat until full and still not go massively over your calorie budget. If I tried eating a million meals a day like I see so many people do I'd probably end up eating twice as much.
I needed this video. I don't have a clear goal with my physique, all I know is that I want to be lean and strong. Ive actually been eating at around 1800 calories for a while, working out 6x a week and I always find myself thinking about food. It gets so hard to control myself around food and I beat myself up so bad everytime I eat something even just a tiny bit out of range. My body NEEDS the sustenance. Thank you for helping me rethink things.
Great to see a honest/transparent view of how brutal deficits can be, thanks man. Just compounds how much better slower less aggressive deficits are for weight loss (for the average Joe anyway)
I'm watching your videos a lot and I really enjoy it. I do struggle with an eating disorder and seeing you struggle on twice as much calories as I eat daily is definitely some wakeup call
@Lois Deng right now I'm breaking a binge cycle so I have an intake of 1500-2000 cals a day now. but before that it was 500-700 cals a day which I burned off as well
@@BjornBjergsen I'm doing less these days its been almost a month now. I almost died in June 2019 in a coma , was never over weight b 4. Came out of hospital thought I was over the trama of what happened to me was getting there and bam convid hit lockdowns masks people acting like the plague or black death was on us. It just about done my head in, so in the evening would sit stuffing my face with crap. Junk food. I thought I had a handle on it but I clearly didn't. I put almost 3 stone on. So for the past 4 weeks iv eat basically nothing much. I did fast the 1st week and I'm glad I did as I started to crave the junk foods. That passed and I actually quite liked it. I have lost almost a stone in weight and still have at the very least another stone to do. I have never been an over weight person and really just want me back. I don't no maybe I have PTSD as what happened to me was scary crap in 2019. I'm alone most of the time so no 1 to really talk to. I'm quite a strong person and eatting very little or nothing is quite a thing to me. I actually list myself control for almost years. Now I'm gonna get it back.
Bro you are SMOOTH with how you deliver your jokes. It’s kind of like doing a no-look pass on a fast break and getting the assist. You’ve certainly discovered a way with words ong🔥👏
The one thing I hate about Will’s videos is that, I immediately want to watch them once I find out he posted… then I have nothing to look forward to watching at the end of the day haha. Great Video!
I'm surprised I haven't seen this till now. I've kind of been doing this exact thing for the last 7 months losing over 115 lbs. The key like you said at the end is staying active constantly. I'm unfortunately hitting the slow down point where I need more calories to keep my energy up cause when you've been on a consistent slump for 7 months, even the most dedicated people might start wavering.
Crash diets are trash. Will knows his stuff. I have done a crash diet before, I lost weight, but didn’t enjoy it. Now I’m eating anabolic kitchen recipes and wills recipes grinding and loving it! Ty will!
Honestly as much we love the camera guy, really love going back to the self filmed style. Feels much less "manufactured' and just with his personal touch that attracts ppl to the channel
One of the most real videos I’ve seen. Cutting is very hard! Find the right amount of calories plan your meals try and stay busy to keep you from wondering what or when your next meal is. Great video will!
Great video. Many beginners struggle to find a proper diet because they want fast results and they end up with no results at all, less money in their pockets and health problems. I encourage all of you to do a research and find a diet that could work for you. If you still don't know where to start, consider Next Level Diet as your starting point (it comes with a workout plan which I find convenient as it doesn't require going to the gym at all). This way results are guaranteed. 💪💪💪
quick question; i don’t understand how i’m supposed to lose weight, i intake about 2,500 a day probably more without a diet, i burn 700-1,000 calories on a good day and try doing 30min intense cardio within my calorie range, i don’t know what my calorie deficit should be since when i did a 1,650 i gained weight and when i did a 2,000 i still gained and with 1,300 i lost for a bit then gained again, any tips that could help?
@@lkf8627 that smells fishy, i suspect inaccurately tracking calories. most ppl assume that condiments dont have calories or track them incorrectly. Get a kitchen scale to weigh food, measuring cups and spoons. Also when you said u burn x amount of calories that's irrelevant because i can assure you that's inaccurate (there's no way to accurately track this). Here's what to do: **Important** Do not change your activity level throughout this process. 1-Find your actual maintenance. Eat at 2500 calories for 3-4 weeks while weighing yourself daily 1.1-Get the weekly averages of your weight, you'll use the averages for step two 2-If you gained weight, then thats not your maintenance, drop your calories according to how much weight you gained (take your weight gained in lb and multiply by 3500, then divide by the number of days you did the process for [example 21 days if u did 3 weeks]. The resulting number is how many calories a day you were approximately over your actual maintenance 2.1-If you maintained weight, then now DON'T crash diet and only do 200-300 calorie deficits, ie eat 2200-2300 calories 2.2-If you lost weight, then keep eating at 2500
Yep! You just went through a mini version of prep, man! The food focus is brutal coming out of prep too! Took me 2 months for my brain to reset after competition
Great video. I crashed dieted once and only once. I went from 155 to 145 in a very short time frame when I didn't need to lose any weight. Everything suffered, and thinking about food constantly is mentally draining. To anyone who wants to lose weight, just starting trying new recipes, count calories, and find meals that satiate you while being calorically low
Been on a 1800 cal diet for the last 30 days! This video really hit home and gave me some tips as I enter month 2 of the diet. I do allow myself 2300 on Saturdays as my “cheat” day. Thanks for the video!
@@gavinwinchell4727 nope! My goal isn’t to suffer. It’s to have something slow and sustainable. Nothing drastic. Last thing I’d want is to hate this journey and quit early. It’s what has been working for me and something I’ve been able to commit to. Everyone is on their own journey and I wish you the best of luck on yours 😄
I did this in spring 2020 went quarantine happened, dropped to eating 1500 daily because you become obsessed with shedding the weight more and more, I got down to 195 and absolutely felt miserable besides the 10 seconds I first wake up and look at my abs then it’s misery. Like you said you become totally food focused and doing the crash diet ruined me so bad, I’ve never been able to stay comfortable at any weight, I obsess about food 24/7 and have a terrible eating disorder.
Same here, I dropped to 1000 calories at the start of lockdown. It was very hard to recover from that, and it's still a work in progress. If I'd have seen a video like this and known about the horrific side effects then I might not have done it, or would have at least minimised my deficit.
@@HF-tj8db its possible but calories below 1500 should only be done psmf style with high protein and very low carbs and fats. Check out the lyle McDonald rapid fat loss handbook
Dude this sounds like me everytime I do a hardcore cut I get fuckin obsessed My wife hates it when I am dieting But once winter comes around I go back to enjoying everything I like from October until March hahaha
as much as I hate that Will had to suffer for this video, these 7-day, self-shot experimental type videos are exactly the kind of videos that are definitely my favorite at least in terms of replay ability. thanks for your efforts here Will!
I like how Will didn't just make a meme of his diet and actually gave us honest feedback and tips to follow. Crash dieting obviously isn't healthy, but there's a lot of good information in this video for someone who's trying to do something similar
Love you Will! The suffering through that is awful, I do intermittent fasting and that is really tough sometimes. I know what you mean when you talk about being food focused. Thanks for another great video!
Good timing on this one. We're doing a weight / fat loss competition at my gym over the next few weeks (to get people in the swing of things), but since it's a competition, I'm already thinking of how far I'm willing to go to win. I'll leave the huge deficit until the end, if I even decide to use it.
It's cute that Will and Katie are doing the challenge together ❤ I'm on a really restrictive diet right now to combat a flair up of my stomach hernia and other stomach issues and my husband is on the journey with me. He's adapted to my dietary needs many times! I'm on a low FODMAP, gluten/dairy free diet. We both love big flavors and it's been hard on this diet because onion, garlic, mushrooms, asparagus and so many other things we enjoy are on the list of things I should avoid. I do most of the cooking and am always happy to make food for him that I can't eat but he usually just wants to eat what I make. I love cooking so it's been fun finding new ways to flavor food!
I'm doing a 1200 calorie diet and i totally understand being concentrated on food all day, even sometimes dreaming about it. But it doesn't bother me much to be honest, it just makes every food taste way more delicious
These are some great meal ideas. I've been in a 500 calorie deficit for a few weeks now and chicken, broccoli, and rice starts to get old lol. Greg's shredded chicken rice cakes look delicious.
I’m also in a 500kcal deficit and I’m eating a variety of foods and macros and it’s working, my performance at the gym is still good I can focus throughout the day and I’m not starving 24/7. You need to have some healthy fats in your diet and a variety of proteins and carbs or you simply won’t be able to stick to it without suffering immensely
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I have starting losing weight this year. My approach has been completely different then all the other times I have tried and failed. So far I am down 22lbs since the first of the year.
I got randomly recommended a Will video a while ago and had some other videos on my save for later list but what brought be over to be a consistent video watching fan was seeing how nice he was to Chole Ting in the wake of her getting all that hate. Will is very kind and fair in his reviews.
Way to push through, Will! I have seen,any others cut a massive calories portion, and it looks as though they suffer in aspects of life. IRL simulating of a calorie deficit is a tough feat.
Since last Aug I was 283 pounds. I was on the beach with my son and after seeing a photos of me and him it hit me that I am not what I used to be. I was in the Army and in shape. Was still in fitness but gain fat. From Aug to Jan I went from 282 to 242. Wanted to go back into the Army to get grad school paid for. Wasn’t enough to make weight/body fat test. For a month I only ate under 1200 calories and did 2 5 day fast and went from 242 to 217. Made the weight/body fat. Now added a little more calories to lose more weight. As of this morning 215 pounds. Will I know that feel! Felt tried and it was hard to workout
@Islayman as of this morning I am 193 pounds. I was 183 a few months back but I felt small and decided to carefully gain muscle and I stayed at 195 so days a little over or under 195 but been doing well
I just finished 2 months of 1700 calories a day with a maintain of about 2800. Holy shit it was hard but I lost 30 pounds and am now bulking. Being able to bulk feels so good after all of that and I have been way better in the weight room
You got to be kidding me I ate a 360 cal breakfast that consist of chocolate chip pancakes and syrup about 6 big pancakes then I had Buffalo chicken wrap burrito about 220 cal then I had gummies and kombucha about 160 then I had chicken rice and plantain that was about 320 and the day is not even over yet in terms of eating. Now if I ate healthier I’ll have so much more food. But maybe you’re a big tall person who is very active.
I really appreciate your honesty. The idea that you could actually burn more fat with a little more food makes a lot of sense. Your videos always have a good sense of humour, but this one was a really practical and good reminder. It’s better to do things properly and maintain it than torture yourself for quick results that won’t last.
This video feels relevant for me! I spent the first 6-8 months of my fitness journey on 2000 calories a day, I'm 6'4 and then I weighed 122kg, looking back I'm not sure how I sustained it for so long! All I can say is I'm really happy I did, it's changed my life and I'm now happier than I've ever been :)
Going down to 1800 cals was what I had to do to get my deficit going again. It's been sustainable and I've had energy throughout. Never thought I would be able to eat that low for an extended amount of time but it worked to get down to the weight I wanted to get to.
that pudding you made, i do something similar but use cocoa powder greek yogurt a dash of almond milk and a few packs of splenda and its pretty suitable as an alternative to chocolate pudding with a reeses like edge to it
as someone who did a pretty brutal crash diet for about 5 months straight, once you finally achieve the body you want, youll never be able to reap its benefits. you can never show it off, because you’re freezing all the time and people won’t be any more attracted to you than before because you close yourself off and you aren’t a good time to be around. recovering from my ed taught me these things and now i do whatever i can to make sure the people close to me aren’t pulled into a diet like that. seriously, don’t consider doing what will did in this video lmao.
1500 cal for a year started July 2019, lost almost 100 pounds. That's how I found out about the channel Tasty and mukbangs, searching for something to keep me going. After a couple of weeks, it was nothing. I also worked out at home. Body got use to it 🤷🏿♀️. But I was doing a sit down job. Once covid hit, I had to work a labor job because unemployment wasn't enough. Let's just say I couldn't sustain it 1500 calories anymore.
12:07 I died when he grabbed the cucumber and stuck it between his legs and I also noticed the tissues and vita mix stick sitting on the night stand... 😂😂
If I'd have seen this video 2 years ago it would have changed my life. 2 years on 1000 to 1800 calories later, I can't stay awake past 8, I'm always hungry, and all the other feelings you experienced- or lack thereof- were replicated but to the extreme. Luckily I came to realise the impact this was having, but it's too late now. I hope that this video will dissuade at least one person from following such a diet, guiding them against the dangerous information the weight loss industry puts out there.
@@mmehdi3437 The point is... don't diet like this in the first place, no matter if it's short term or long term. And yeah, I had an eating disorder. Now I'm trying desperately to restore my metabolism, gain the weight back and recover my physical health. Extreme weight loss, even for a few months, is very dangerous.
this was a really good video. perfect mixture of entertainment and informative content. I've always thought that lifestyle choices are more important to focus on than food. if u move more, sleep better, set good routines then ur food intake should naturally improve/align with that. just focusing merely on food and restriction can be such a sad and unsustainable way to live. I've only been consistently weight training for the last 6 months and for the most part I haven't followed any diet structure. I hit a pb 90kg squat the other day which isn't a lot to most but I'm happy about it and I'm improving month by month and my body is slowly changing as a result. I'm in it for the long game! but it's hard to not be tempted to want fast results!
@@GbawlZ He doesn't pretend that. He became WAY too skinny even before his UA-cam channel. He became healthy before as well, and we saw his journey since then, after he dragged himself out of that hole. He overcame binging and starving, and now he's doing great for himself, and you're hating on him. Congrats, dude. What did you accomplish saying that?
@@Hereallydiedforme It’s cool dude- he wasn’t worth it. He probably follows one of those “self improvement” channels that shits on everybody in fitness who has ever done a single challenge questioning their devotion to their craft.

Hey Will! Just curious a while back when you and Greg had the 10,000 Anabolic cookbook challenge, you won and the prize was that he was going to give you 6 months of free training to prep you for a powerlifting meet. However, the last time Greg visited, the two of you did a Q&A and you two stated that he’s training you for a bodybuilding show. Just curious which one you currently plan on training for and which one is next. Love your content 👍.
I really appreciate all the info in your videos! I'm getting back into strength training I was previously just running and doing crash diets lol and your videos have been super helpful!
Hi I used to be over weight at ur age. Just keep in mind u are still growing so eating is a good idea as ur body needs nutrients. I didnt starve myself but I ate quite unnutricious foods that got me f#ed. Eat plenty of protein bro and rest is calories in VS calories out that u burned. If u struggle to workout, try first walking, even 1 push up is a push up. 10 day 1 push up is 10 push ups u could have skipped cause its just one. Weightlose is a journey not a maraton. Dont rush to be the new skinny kind for 3 months. Take it easy and steady u wont regret it. Even if u fkup u cant start over buddy! Stay strong, hope 1 year after this I see a positive reply im vouching for u u got this
Can relate to this so freaking much. Last year I dieted really hard. I was eating around 1000 calories fore about 2 months (was pretty fat before) I was constantly thinking about food and once a week I had a cheat day where I went crazy. The days leading up I would sit on the computer and look at mukbangs and the night before I had problems sleeping because I was finally able to binge. That was definitely not healthy and after discovering Will and Greg I learned the right way to go about my diet and fitness in general.
Hey, I can just imagine how hungry I'd be if I cut my calories that much! I really hope you can do a week of yoga next. I'd really like to see how it affects your body and mind. Thanks
As a lady with about 30% body fat, I love food way too much to keep to my 1700 cal diet :) My body does its best to keep me at 1900 to 2200 or I'll just be sleeping half the day. I don't binge but become a sloth. Even if I eat higher volume, my body just 'knows' and its damn good at processing high fiber anyways. It also knows the difference between sweetners and sugar. If I don't hit 50-70 grams of sugar, I'll suddenly want to eat a whole watermelon or lots of bread/rice... it just 'knows' and I've just accepted to dance and work out all that extra energy.
High five! We’re two here. Being more muscular has helped me to get my hunger and cravings under control. I’m still clinically obese and will probable be in the next few years but keeping calories under control has helped me not keep putting pounds on. I now eat much more than before, just the right foods and keep on walking and training as a routine :)
At some point you learn what your body can and can't handle, I know at 1200kcal my expenditure and quality of life drops to uselessness, I can mind over matter it but poor sleep, don't lose much more. 1600 is a sweet spot for me. Both are still more or less in crash-diet range for me, but I do like an aggressive cut because oddly enough it affects my chronic pain. So ~1y of bulking and only 2-3 months of cutting. 2 years ago 1200kcal did work, but the deficit wasn't as big as it is now.
Cut out sugar and highly processed carbs, decrease carbs overall, increase healthy fats and good quality protein (and sallttttt) you may feel bad for a few days as your bodies goes through sugar withdrawal, but later, you'll feel so much better (and fuller) on less calories
Hey man I love your channel. Ramadan is coming up this April. I’ve never seen anyone do a workout program and diet plan for that month to maintain or cut. Could be an idea for your channel! Could be quite the challenge to. If you need any help let me know

Hunger is caused by Ghrelin, a hormone which comes in waves, like literally waves on the beach. You feel hungry for half an hour, get busy, focus on something else for 30 minutes and the hunger goes away and it comes back a few hours later. When I cut I always push my dinner way into the night like 9-10pm to curb my late night cravings. I know some people don’t like going to sleep feeling stuffed but that’s what I do.
If you like to eat earlier, like me, you can also go to bed earlier.
That's the time in which we havd dinner in Spain and ot works perfectly for us for that exact reason, normally dinner is the last thing we eat before going to bed, but of course our dinner is quite light and the biggest meal is the lunch
@@aliciagomez8115 same in Italy but I think we eat more meals in general than a lot of places. Dinner is always around 8-9pm or generally close to sleep but we usually eat around 5-6pm too after lunch. It’s definitely snack like but it feels like it should be dedicated as part of how we eat here
When on such big deficit, it’s not the feeling of hunger that gets to you. It’s the overall lack of energy. It makes you wonder if it’s worth it. And then one night you just get really hungry and you overeat.
@@powerpuff4ever Which part of Italy are you from? Torino here and tbh I haven't had merenda since I was like 8, and I don't know anyone who does either. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat when you're in the office, and honestly it's just completely unnecessary.
I usually have _two_ meals a day, lunch and dinner. This way you can eat until full and still not go massively over your calorie budget. If I tried eating a million meals a day like I see so many people do I'd probably end up eating twice as much.
I needed this video. I don't have a clear goal with my physique, all I know is that I want to be lean and strong. Ive actually been eating at around 1800 calories for a while, working out 6x a week and I always find myself thinking about food. It gets so hard to control myself around food and I beat myself up so bad everytime I eat something even just a tiny bit out of range. My body NEEDS the sustenance. Thank you for helping me rethink things.
lean and strong sounds great :)
Will's determination for these hard challenges is wild. However when he's suffering, the jokes somehow get funnier. Great work Will
This isn't a hard challenge by any stretch of the meaning.
@@marchfifth1754 for someone this size it is
Great to see a honest/transparent view of how brutal deficits can be, thanks man. Just compounds how much better slower less aggressive deficits are for weight loss (for the average Joe anyway)
Will really loves us cause he went through all that pain just to prove to us that it's not worth it. Gotta respect the man
yes that can't be taken for granted!
If ur already at a low bmi u won’t lose that much fat the higher the fat percentage the better results

*Grabs a foot-long cucumber*
I'm watching your videos a lot and I really enjoy it. I do struggle with an eating disorder and seeing you struggle on twice as much calories as I eat daily is definitely some wakeup call
I send you good thoughts and vibes my friend, your body needs more calories
I'll be praying for you man, don't go under 1200 calories, you need more food :)
@Lois Deng right now I'm breaking a binge cycle so I have an intake of 1500-2000 cals a day now. but before that it was 500-700 cals a day which I burned off as well
@@BjornBjergsen Well then I'm glad to hear that you're increasing your calories!
@@BjornBjergsen I'm doing less these days its been almost a month now. I almost died in June 2019 in a coma , was never over weight b 4. Came out of hospital thought I was over the trama of what happened to me was getting there and bam convid hit lockdowns masks people acting like the plague or black death was on us. It just about done my head in, so in the evening would sit stuffing my face with crap. Junk food. I thought I had a handle on it but I clearly didn't. I put almost 3 stone on. So for the past 4 weeks iv eat basically nothing much. I did fast the 1st week and I'm glad I did as I started to crave the junk foods. That passed and I actually quite liked it. I have lost almost a stone in weight and still have at the very least another stone to do. I have never been an over weight person and really just want me back. I don't no maybe I have PTSD as what happened to me was scary crap in 2019. I'm alone most of the time so no 1 to really talk to. I'm quite a strong person and eatting very little or nothing is quite a thing to me. I actually list myself control for almost years. Now I'm gonna get it back.
Bro you are SMOOTH with how you deliver your jokes. It’s kind of like doing a no-look pass on a fast break and getting the assist. You’ve certainly discovered a way with words ong🔥👏
The one thing I hate about Will’s videos is that, I immediately want to watch them once I find out he posted… then I have nothing to look forward to watching at the end of the day haha. Great Video!
hm that's bad and good the same time haha
try watching more plates more dates yt chan
He’s not gonna suck you off dude
I'm surprised I haven't seen this till now. I've kind of been doing this exact thing for the last 7 months losing over 115 lbs. The key like you said at the end is staying active constantly. I'm unfortunately hitting the slow down point where I need more calories to keep my energy up cause when you've been on a consistent slump for 7 months, even the most dedicated people might start wavering.
Crash diets are trash. Will knows his stuff. I have done a crash diet before, I lost weight, but didn’t enjoy it. Now I’m eating anabolic kitchen recipes and wills recipes grinding and loving it! Ty will!
Facts!
@@WillTennyson YESSIR
Honestly as much we love the camera guy, really love going back to the self filmed style. Feels much less "manufactured' and just with his personal touch that attracts ppl to the channel
One of the most real videos I’ve seen. Cutting is very hard! Find the right amount of calories plan your meals try and stay busy to keep you from wondering what or when your next meal is. Great video will!
Great video. Many beginners struggle to find a proper diet because they want fast results and they end up with no results at all, less money in their pockets and health problems. I encourage all of you to do a research and find a diet that could work for you. If you still don't know where to start, consider Next Level Diet as your starting point (it comes with a workout plan which I find convenient as it doesn't require going to the gym at all). This way results are guaranteed. 💪💪💪
I agree completely. Never destroy your heatlh because of looks...
quick question; i don’t understand how i’m supposed to lose weight, i intake about 2,500 a day probably more without a diet, i burn 700-1,000 calories on a good day and try doing 30min intense cardio within my calorie range, i don’t know what my calorie deficit should be since when i did a 1,650 i gained weight and when i did a 2,000 i still gained and with 1,300 i lost for a bit then gained again, any tips that could help?
@@lkf8627 that smells fishy, i suspect inaccurately tracking calories. most ppl assume that condiments dont have calories or track them incorrectly. Get a kitchen scale to weigh food, measuring cups and spoons. Also when you said u burn x amount of calories that's irrelevant because i can assure you that's inaccurate (there's no way to accurately track this).
Here's what to do:
**Important** Do not change your activity level throughout this process.
1-Find your actual maintenance. Eat at 2500 calories for 3-4 weeks while weighing yourself daily
1.1-Get the weekly averages of your weight, you'll use the averages for step two
2-If you gained weight, then thats not your maintenance, drop your calories according to how much weight you gained (take your weight gained in lb and multiply by 3500, then divide by the number of days you did the process for [example 21 days if u did 3 weeks]. The resulting number is how many calories a day you were approximately over your actual maintenance
2.1-If you maintained weight, then now DON'T crash diet and only do 200-300 calorie deficits, ie eat 2200-2300 calories
2.2-If you lost weight, then keep eating at 2500
@@ProFow thank you this helps a lot!

Trident gum is my savior. Honestly, I go through a pack a day. 🙏🏽

@@hardcore4life279 I eat what I want just make sure I do 2+ hrs of cardio
Great video. I crashed dieted once and only once. I went from 155 to 145 in a very short time frame when I didn't need to lose any weight. Everything suffered, and thinking about food constantly is mentally draining.
To anyone who wants to lose weight, just starting trying new recipes, count calories, and find meals that satiate you while being calorically low
My sister and I call Thursdays our Will day and we have been binging your vids all year lol! We love you! ❤️❤️❤️
The clip before day 4 had me rolling. How does this man keep every video entertaining?!
Been on a 1800 cal diet for the last 30 days! This video really hit home and gave me some tips as I enter month 2 of the diet. I do allow myself 2300 on Saturdays as my “cheat” day.
Thanks for the video!
Keep going, you got this!
how'd it go
@@Punched0 down 8 lbs and still sticking with it!
75 days into my cut, lost 40 pounds, on 1000-1300 calories a day, 1800 ain’t suffering whatsoever
@@gavinwinchell4727 nope! My goal isn’t to suffer. It’s to have something slow and sustainable. Nothing drastic. Last thing I’d want is to hate this journey and quit early. It’s what has been working for me and something I’ve been able to commit to. Everyone is on their own journey and I wish you the best of luck on yours 😄
I love your videos, very informative and I especially love your humor. Keep up the good work.
I did this in spring 2020 went quarantine happened, dropped to eating 1500 daily because you become obsessed with shedding the weight more and more, I got down to 195 and absolutely felt miserable besides the 10 seconds I first wake up and look at my abs then it’s misery. Like you said you become totally food focused and doing the crash diet ruined me so bad, I’ve never been able to stay comfortable at any weight, I obsess about food 24/7 and have a terrible eating disorder.
God damn
Same here, I dropped to 1000 calories at the start of lockdown. It was very hard to recover from that, and it's still a work in progress. If I'd have seen a video like this and known about the horrific side effects then I might not have done it, or would have at least minimised my deficit.
@@HF-tj8db its possible but calories below 1500 should only be done psmf style with high protein and very low carbs and fats. Check out the lyle McDonald rapid fat loss handbook
Dude this sounds like me everytime I do a hardcore cut I get fuckin obsessed
My wife hates it when I am dieting
But once winter comes around I go back to enjoying everything I like from October until March hahaha
Me and you both brother lol, been a long road to recovery
as much as I hate that Will had to suffer for this video, these 7-day, self-shot experimental type videos are exactly the kind of videos that are definitely my favorite at least in terms of replay ability. thanks for your efforts here Will!
yeah they are absolutely amazing to watch!
and how many times will you reply this video ?
@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 what?
@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 fr
I like how Will didn't just make a meme of his diet and actually gave us honest feedback and tips to follow. Crash dieting obviously isn't healthy, but there's a lot of good information in this video for someone who's trying to do something similar
the information given here is so valuable!
It isn’t more unhealty than carrying more fat. Just get those vitamins
And minerals, antioxidants and a good profile for: karbs, protein and fats
This is a really great video. I really like how honest you are about the negative aspects of an extreme deficit.
Will is always honest to us, it's great! are you doing such a diet yourself?
Love you Will! The suffering through that is awful, I do intermittent fasting and that is really tough sometimes. I know what you mean when you talk about being food focused. Thanks for another great video!
for how long are you doing this?
1:27 "Fill other voids" we know what you mean pal 😂😂
Good timing on this one. We're doing a weight / fat loss competition at my gym over the next few weeks (to get people in the swing of things), but since it's a competition, I'm already thinking of how far I'm willing to go to win.
I'll leave the huge deficit until the end, if I even decide to use it.
Imagine showing up stage lean you’ll def win. It’s not worth the suffering tho knowing you’ll gain all that weight back ):
It's cute that Will and Katie are doing the challenge together ❤ I'm on a really restrictive diet right now to combat a flair up of my stomach hernia and other stomach issues and my husband is on the journey with me. He's adapted to my dietary needs many times! I'm on a low FODMAP, gluten/dairy free diet. We both love big flavors and it's been hard on this diet because onion, garlic, mushrooms, asparagus and so many other things we enjoy are on the list of things I should avoid. I do most of the cooking and am always happy to make food for him that I can't eat but he usually just wants to eat what I make. I love cooking so it's been fun finding new ways to flavor food!
I'm doing a 1200 calorie diet and i totally understand being concentrated on food all day, even sometimes dreaming about it. But it doesn't bother me much to be honest, it just makes every food taste way more delicious
“Tastes like it came from a food bank” 😂😂😂
I feel your pain, Will, as I just recently moved out of a homeless shelter.
These are some great meal ideas. I've been in a 500 calorie deficit for a few weeks now and chicken, broccoli, and rice starts to get old lol. Greg's shredded chicken rice cakes look delicious.
There’s so many meals you can eat besides that lol
Buy the friggin cook book -Greg Doucette
I’m also in a 500kcal deficit and I’m eating a variety of foods and macros and it’s working, my performance at the gym is still good I can focus throughout the day and I’m not starving 24/7. You need to have some healthy fats in your diet and a variety of proteins and carbs or you simply won’t be able to stick to it without suffering immensely
Great video Will. I loved how this one was a throw back to some of your “originals” with its simplicity.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I have starting losing weight this year. My approach has been completely different then all the other times I have tried and failed. So far I am down 22lbs since the first of the year.
I've been binge watching your videos 11:39 LMFAOOO
These are the videos that got me hooked on your channel!! Keep it up
I got randomly recommended a Will video a while ago and had some other videos on my save for later list but what brought be over to be a consistent video watching fan was seeing how nice he was to Chole Ting in the wake of her getting all that hate. Will is very kind and fair in his reviews.
Way to push through, Will! I have seen,any others cut a massive calories portion, and it looks as though they suffer in aspects of life. IRL simulating of a calorie deficit is a tough feat.
I respect you. Not many UA-camrs would bother to provide the SI units
Really appreciate the good honest content will - definitely taking on some of these lessons!
yes his videos are also really informative!
Im a new subscriber. Your jokes and delivery of it are off the charts!! Love it so smooth and natural
Since last Aug I was 283 pounds. I was on the beach with my son and after seeing a photos of me and him it hit me that I am not what I used to be. I was in the Army and in shape. Was still in fitness but gain fat. From Aug to Jan I went from 282 to 242. Wanted to go back into the Army to get grad school paid for. Wasn’t enough to make weight/body fat test. For a month I only ate under 1200 calories and did 2 5 day fast and went from 242 to 217. Made the weight/body fat. Now added a little more calories to lose more weight. As of this morning 215 pounds. Will I know that feel! Felt tried and it was hard to workout
@Islayman as of this morning I am 193 pounds. I was 183 a few months back but I felt small and decided to carefully gain muscle and I stayed at 195 so days a little over or under 195 but been doing well
Wow you can be very proud of yourself! I'm doing 1200 cal rn as a 175cm woman and it's definitely not easy
Your humor is under appreciated. Love your videos you’ve helped me get a lot leaner
I just finished 2 months of 1700 calories a day with a maintain of about 2800. Holy shit it was hard but I lost 30 pounds and am now bulking. Being able to bulk feels so good after all of that and I have been way better in the weight room
1700 a day isn’t hard unless u eat nothing but junk
You got to be kidding me I ate a 360 cal breakfast that consist of chocolate chip pancakes and syrup about 6 big pancakes then I had Buffalo chicken wrap burrito about 220 cal then I had gummies and kombucha about 160 then I had chicken rice and plantain that was about 320 and the day is not even over yet in terms of eating. Now if I ate healthier I’ll have so much more food. But maybe you’re a big tall person who is very active.
I really appreciate your honesty. The idea that you could actually burn more fat with a little more food makes a lot of sense. Your videos always have a good sense of humour, but this one was a really practical and good reminder. It’s better to do things properly and maintain it than torture yourself for quick results that won’t last.
That clip of Katie waking you up and you screaming had me choke on my water with laughter I cant 😂😂
Lmfao
"Forgot the safe word"...the little deadpan quips are hilarious. 🤣
This video feels relevant for me! I spent the first 6-8 months of my fitness journey on 2000 calories a day, I'm 6'4 and then I weighed 122kg, looking back I'm not sure how I sustained it for so long! All I can say is I'm really happy I did, it's changed my life and I'm now happier than I've ever been :)
What do you weigh now?
@@HNK001 currently 87kg :) I don't plan on loosing any more weight, just get rid of fat and build muscle!

Going down to 1800 cals was what I had to do to get my deficit going again. It's been sustainable and I've had energy throughout. Never thought I would be able to eat that low for an extended amount of time but it worked to get down to the weight I wanted to get to.
Did you notice any muscle mass loss?

as someone who did a pretty brutal crash diet for about 5 months straight, once you finally achieve the body you want, youll never be able to reap its benefits. you can never show it off, because you’re freezing all the time and people won’t be any more attracted to you than before because you close yourself off and you aren’t a good time to be around. recovering from my ed taught me these things and now i do whatever i can to make sure the people close to me aren’t pulled into a diet like that. seriously, don’t consider doing what will did in this video lmao.
1500 cal for a year started July 2019, lost almost 100 pounds. That's how I found out about the channel Tasty and mukbangs, searching for something to keep me going. After a couple of weeks, it was nothing. I also worked out at home. Body got use to it 🤷🏿♀️. But I was doing a sit down job. Once covid hit, I had to work a labor job because unemployment wasn't enough. Let's just say I couldn't sustain it 1500 calories anymore.
his crash diet is 1800 damn
2:52 amen to that! chewing gum is my saviour from snacking!
It’s not a Will Tennyson video without a couple cucumber jokes
12:07 I died when he grabbed the cucumber and stuck it between his legs and I also noticed the tissues and vita mix stick sitting on the night stand... 😂😂
Will did my maintenance calories. Thanks will😂 I needed some new recipes and everything
If I'd have seen this video 2 years ago it would have changed my life. 2 years on 1000 to 1800 calories later, I can't stay awake past 8, I'm always hungry, and all the other feelings you experienced- or lack thereof- were replicated but to the extreme. Luckily I came to realise the impact this was having, but it's too late now. I hope that this video will dissuade at least one person from following such a diet, guiding them against the dangerous information the weight loss industry puts out there.
2 years on such a deficit, didn't you already lose all the weight you wanted to lose by now ?
@@mmehdi3437 The point is... don't diet like this in the first place, no matter if it's short term or long term. And yeah, I had an eating disorder. Now I'm trying desperately to restore my metabolism, gain the weight back and recover my physical health. Extreme weight loss, even for a few months, is very dangerous.
Your comment to all these different diets and things. Absolute CHAD🙌
this was a really good video. perfect mixture of entertainment and informative content. I've always thought that lifestyle choices are more important to focus on than food. if u move more, sleep better, set good routines then ur food intake should naturally improve/align with that. just focusing merely on food and restriction can be such a sad and unsustainable way to live. I've only been consistently weight training for the last 6 months and for the most part I haven't followed any diet structure. I hit a pb 90kg squat the other day which isn't a lot to most but I'm happy about it and I'm improving month by month and my body is slowly changing as a result. I'm in it for the long game! but it's hard to not be tempted to want fast results!
Your videos always make my day! You proved a good point in this video. Crash diets are not worth it (unless you are competing and have no choice)
Will I’m convinced you don’t have any form of diet control at this point- you’re never not on some abnormal challenge
You are correct. Life of my UA-cam channel
@@GbawlZ He doesn't pretend that. He became WAY too skinny even before his UA-cam channel.

Just curious a while back when you and Greg had the 10,000 Anabolic cookbook challenge, you won and the prize was that he was going to give you 6 months of free training to prep you for a powerlifting meet.

Just curious which one you currently plan on training for and which one is next. Love your content 👍.

As a 15 year old overweight on a diet, i found this video really helpful, thank you Will!
Hi I used to be over weight at ur age. Just keep in mind u are still growing so eating is a good idea as ur body needs nutrients. I didnt starve myself but I ate quite unnutricious foods that got me f#ed. Eat plenty of protein bro and rest is calories in VS calories out that u burned. If u struggle to workout, try first walking, even 1 push up is a push up. 10 day 1 push up is 10 push ups u could have skipped cause its just one. Weightlose is a journey not a maraton. Dont rush to be the new skinny kind for 3 months. Take it easy and steady u wont regret it. Even if u fkup u cant start over buddy! Stay strong, hope 1 year after this I see a positive reply im vouching for u u got this
1800 is my daily intake, making a ton of progress and building lots of muscle. im quite happy about it.
Can relate to this so freaking much. Last year I dieted really hard. I was eating around 1000 calories fore about 2 months (was pretty fat before) I was constantly thinking about food and once a week I had a cheat day where I went crazy. The days leading up I would sit on the computer and look at mukbangs and the night before I had problems sleeping because I was finally able to binge. That was definitely not healthy and after discovering Will and Greg I learned the right way to go about my diet and fitness in general.
and how is it going with your diet now?
The subtle jokes are amazing lmaooo the tossing salad comment had me laughing
Hey, I can just imagine how hungry I'd be if I cut my calories that much!
I really hope you can do a week of yoga next. I'd really like to see how it affects your body and mind. Thanks
haha that would be nice to see!
Bro! Your Innuendos are PERFECT!!
As a lady with about 30% body fat, I love food way too much to keep to my 1700 cal diet :) My body does its best to keep me at 1900 to 2200 or I'll just be sleeping half the day. I don't binge but become a sloth. Even if I eat higher volume, my body just 'knows' and its damn good at processing high fiber anyways. It also knows the difference between sweetners and sugar. If I don't hit 50-70 grams of sugar, I'll suddenly want to eat a whole watermelon or lots of bread/rice... it just 'knows' and I've just accepted to dance and work out all that extra energy.
High five! We’re two here. Being more muscular has helped me to get my hunger and cravings under control. I’m still clinically obese and will probable be in the next few years but keeping calories under control has helped me not keep putting pounds on. I now eat much more than before, just the right foods and keep on walking and training as a routine :)
At some point you learn what your body can and can't handle, I know at 1200kcal my expenditure and quality of life drops to uselessness, I can mind over matter it but poor sleep, don't lose much more. 1600 is a sweet spot for me. Both are still more or less in crash-diet range for me, but I do like an aggressive cut because oddly enough it affects my chronic pain. So ~1y of bulking and only 2-3 months of cutting. 2 years ago 1200kcal did work, but the deficit wasn't as big as it is now.
I am 16m and about 14% bodyfat. I wanna go down below 10, but if i decrease calories i feel like garbage.
Cut out sugar and highly processed carbs, decrease carbs overall, increase healthy fats and good quality protein (and sallttttt) you may feel bad for a few days as your bodies goes through sugar withdrawal, but later, you'll feel so much better (and fuller) on less calories
So you're just saying you have no self discipline
