I’m guilty of struggling with sleep and I have been FOREVER. Everything else comes somewhat naturally (I enjoy training hard, I have a great relationship with food, etc.), but sleep’s a tough one. And I only know about how important it is to fix this thanks to you Marisa. And you keep reminding me, so thank you!!!
okay! i just started my very first reverse diet thanks to you! i feel so dumb doing it because i’m still overweight but after losing like 40 pounds over about a year i felt like i couldn’t even maintain and feel “full” and then every time i tried to get back into a deficit i would be sooo hungry! i feel like patience is the hardest thing when it takes 3-4 months but i can’t wait to actually be able to eat more without feeling like i need to sabotage myself ❤️
Seriously keep at it, it’s changed my life already and I started mine after Marisa’s videos too. I’m currently up to 1950 a week and I’m gonna keep going till 2200 (hopefully) so I can lean down with 2000 🥰 it’s not been easy but honestly with keeping to the training each time I think I’ve gained weight, it eventually levels down after a week. Good luck!
@@MissFitAndNerdy i just did my first week measurements and i’ve already lost inches while eating more consistently than i have in like 2 years 😳 i’m now fully on board 🤠❤️
@@ErinBrookes I think you should watch Marisa’s older videos on ‘how to reverse diet’ there’s a whole playlist if you go straight to her channel and from there. Good luck!
Hey Marisa! I understand if this is not your thing because it might not relate to you in any way. But if it was something you’d be interested in researching and making a video about, I would LOVE to hear your opinion on staying healthy and fit during pregnancy and what supplements might be safe to take. I absolutely love all your science packed information, but now that I’m pregnant I feel a little lost. I’m almost in my second trimester and due to being sick all the time I’ve really fallen off the health wagon and want to pick it back up now and make sure I’m doing everything I can to have a super healthy pregnancy.
As a beekeeper, I can't imagine how that product can be sustainable. Honey the bees will produce in excess, yes, but bread and royal jelly, those require the destruction of comb to harvest. The bread is the bees actual primary source of food and is made with pollen, and royal jelly is only made to feed to baby queen bees, they don't even store that in the hive. The propolis is what they use to keep the hive sealed from the outside and safe. While I do find that I'm removing small amounts of excess while in my hives, harvesting on a large scale will hurt the colony in the long run, because they will have to divert some of the energy they use to make food to repropolizing the hive.
Ever since I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (Celiac), my body has never been the same. It's very sensitive about what I put into it. I've recently been cutting coffee and most caffeine, so herbal tea + honey has been my go to ritual. Definitely going to try out some products from beekeepers naturals. I have also tried the Ned products on your recommendation, and love them as well. Thank you for your dedication to health and helping others. And for all the great recommendations 💛😎
I think if you do a fair amount of power yoga it can certainly help (with Long holds) That said…I have added weight training to my exercise schedule (been a yoga practitioner since 2004) because just body weight wasn’t enough. Also not enough pulling movements with yoga.
Not in the same way that I mentioned in this video. Yoga is a very different stimulus from resistance--it's much more focused on muscular endurance rather than strength. Which is not a bad thing at all, but it's not going to have quite the same effect
Fantastic content as always. I've always been a silent viewer of all UA-cam, confidence/Anxiety based reasons but I'm slowly but surely changing that. Thank you for your content it's amazingly helpful 💞✨
Your thoughts on resistance training are super useful cus I've very hard time doing HIIT. I get sick every time I do it for 5x with 2x full rest per week. Going to stick to my walks and simple resistance forms. Thank you! :) Also, need to sleep ENOUGH AND ON A CONSISTENT TIME.
Girlllll if you’re doing real hiit (like all out sprints), most peoples bodies can not handle that 5x/week. I wouldn’t recommend it more than 2-3x/week for most people
Thanks for another motivational and informative video. And yes drink more water(forced not thirsty..trying tho), and sleep(ugh kdrama addict 🤦♀️🙋♀️). Thanks for water amount and protein formulas to calculate. Yes noticed run 2 miles treadmill at gym feels good wakes me up then either do weights or a Hiit workout hmm not seeing results in metabolism or weight loss as much or as fast as I did a summer ago when pushed it more when In a group. But that pushing got me injured. So on my own now self motivating but taking it with more breaks. My once 45min group workout now might take me couple hours. I remember to stretch more now tho before and after. Still struggle finding my calorie intake but gonna work on it more diligently I hope. Wishing for a personal chef in my dream life. 🤣🤣🤣. All leg work done. My uncle has a bee farm and his bees pollinate from my house. It sure has helped allergies love it. But I need check out ur recommendation too?
do you have any tips on increasing your calorie intake for reverse dieting when you somehow just can't manage to eat more? i'm desperately trying to eat 2000 a day, which i think might even be a tiny bit under my maintenance calories as i'm a teen, but i just can't seem to get in more than around 1800-1850. i know it's not that much of a difference but i want to go into a cut in a couple months and i don't feel comfortable doing that if my maintenance calories aren't high enough
Do you have a cookbook? When you showed that nacho concoction it made my mouth water. Also a recipe for the cooking-declined that is straightforward and not too time consuming would be heaven sent. Regardless, thank you for the content
I have a lot of recipes in my ebook Adaptogens 101! www.missfitandnerdy.com/ebooks/adaptogens-101. But maybe I'll start compiling other recipes to make a dedicated Marisa-esque cookbook :)
I can’t stress the role of environment on water intake yall. I just moved to the high desert (altitude and dry) and I have to drink SO MUCH WATER Just to not be dehydrated
I know you said that cardio is pretty useless for long term fat loss, but is HIIT still a good way to burn fat? I’m a track runner, and I’ve just gotten back from an injury so I’m doing a lot of aerobic base training, but normally my long runs are 2-3 times a week (recovery), and I do HIIT on the other days (the resting periods vary to get optimal speed). Is that a good way to lose fat along with weight training?
To anyone who's reading this: You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful. Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do! I hope you have a fantastic day :))
I love the tips! I still disagree with the cardio argument but still am respectful with everyone’s opinion! Because of your reverse diet videos I’m up to 1750 calories from 1400…it’s so exciting! On to 2,000 now! 😀😀
Exactly Merissa saved me from torturing my with a low deficit for a long time.because of her Im on riverse diet .But I love cardio and she says cardio is ok If we love it .still I would love to hear some positive thngs about cardio
Meee too!! Greg douchette is on the cardio side. I love his views. True that it might not have lasting affects, but you’re still burning calories. And yes you might have to do cardio a few days a week, but you’re lifting a few days a week to keep your muscle. 😀 I’m so glad you’re doing the reverse diet! I still don’t think it’s very well known. One of my upcoming fiction books is going to be about that. (I’m an author)
I am considering doing a reverse diet so I can increase my maintenance for the purpose of speeding up my metabolism and overall just making going into a deficit easier. How long would you suggest I stay at the new maintenance calories before going into a deficit again? Is a few weeks enough or do you need to stay at the new maintenance for a few months so the body has more time to adjust to the new maintenance calorie amount?
Love the detail of this video , thank you ! Woke up today thinking about my need to be healthier, loose some body fat and I keep thinking to my self 1. I don’t drink enough water and 2. I’m not consistent with my food… some days I eat good three meals a day others , due to work, I can go the whole day with just my breakfast which I know doesn’t help my metabolism. I’m 4”11 , 128 and today I turn 37 🙄 I need to plan and get on a rhythm that would help me achieve my goals. I was at a 28.4% Body fat weighing 120lb and now that I’m 128 pounds !!! I just can’t imagine…. Video has Inspire some needed change !! Thanks Marisa ! Now .. where do to begin ? 🤔::thinking to myself:: I have started this journey only like 5 times before 🤣🤣🤣 let’s make this the last !!!!!
I have a question if anybody knows the answer. so I was on a calorie deficit for a while and I dropped about like 5 pounds and it stayed the same for a while so I decided screw it and I just ate whatever. I didn’t slowly go back up to my maintenance calories, I just ate lol. Now I’m kind of gaining weight and I feel like I don’t know what to do. Should I go back in a calorie deficit? I want to lose the weight back, but I don’t know if that’s gonna be too harsh like I don’t know what to do.
I started taking creatine after my workouts and I am experiencing joint pain (knees, elbow, wrist) and trouble sleeping. I am not doing anything different can it be the creatine?
the troubled sleeping I'm not sure but I really dont think creatine would affect your joints, since creatine only makes you store more water in your muscles
That's not usually a side effect associated with creatine. But anything is possible! I'd take it out and see if symptoms go away then reintroduce it and if the symptoms come back then you know creatine isn't great for your body
I’m so messed up I’m having a hard time increasing calories! Week 4 reached 2000 and ready to cut on Monday. Do I whack off the calories fast, or go down incrementally? 🙏
I believe you really do need cardiovascular health because it supports everything you do in your life. I know weight lifters who get out of breath walking around the block, and for me that doesn’t work, my view is that your body needs to support everything you want to do (everyone to their own). Don’t lose sight of why you want to be healthy, focus on the why and this will help with how you prioritise.
Cardiovascular health is 10000% important. But you don’t need to run/elliptical/row to improve heart health. There are plenty of other ways of exercising outside of traditional cardio that give you the same benefits. If you’re phasing your lifting training properly, you’ll get strong cardiovascular benefits. Research shows that lifting can be enough to maintain top cardio health. But you have to be lifting properly. So yes, there are people who lift who have bad cardiovascular health. Just like there’s people who run who have poor bone density.
@@MissFitAndNerdy yeah love lifting- do it 5 times a week, but I think actually going outside for a run or cycle is great for the soul and also great for the ligaments associated with this kind of exercise (assuming you have the right technique). You can also introduce competition with friends (or actually competitive racing), socialising and/or using it as a way of commuting to work. It’s just more holistic.
Non-caffeinated an herbal teas are great for water intake! 80% of my current water intake comes in the form of peppermint tea right now because it's cold lol
Take your bodyweight in kg and convert it to lbs (you can just google the conversion). Then take this number and divide by 2. This is the number of oz of water you should drink. You can then convert this number into liters also with a quick google :)
My only concern with all this is my baby is 6 months old and I just cannot get a good nights sleep.. I’m lucky if I get 6-7 hours and that’s broken sleep, is my journey going to totally suffer 😭 I’m seeing changes in my body and I’m eating high protein etc etc but the sleep thing worries me!
@@MissFitAndNerdy Thank you for replying! I tried some ashwagandha at your recommendation from a previous video last night and went to bed a little earlier and had better quality of sleep! I’ll keep going giving it my all 🥰
Hi Marissa! Love your videos❤️ I have a question for you about Cardio: What about functional training? Do you think it could be a better approach than treadmill and does it have a different impact on our metabolism and on our results? I mean: I think that Kind of cardio is different from 50 mins of running and maybe adding some functional circuit even WITH weights could be more beneficial in order to lose fat. What do you think about it? Thank you, love from Italy ❤️
Unless you take vitamins- then even neon yellow can actually be “normal” lol. But by evening (if you supplement, especially Bs in the morning) it should be light yellow again, yes.
You say the measurement for protein is grams per kg of lean body mass but isn't it difficult to accurately measure? Afaik you can take your overall body weight and eat 1,6-2g per kg or your height in cm? Is that correct?
@@DewelynC sure that's a good option but are you advising everyone to do that in order to simply know how much protein to eat? Doesn't seem practical. More over, your lean body mass will increase with working out.
@@SoulInFlames No, but it is one way to know it. Personally I don't think one needs to know to a gram's exactness how much protein to eat, if they are just common people. I've lost weight and gained muscle by just following the average nutrition guidelines of my country's food authority and am using inbody to track my progress biannually. But it is one way to know your current lean body mass if you have no idea. Hopes this cleared things up. 😊
@@SoulInFlames Google Lean Body Mass Calculator and you will find a calculator that gives pretty accurate results (I compared the result it gave to the result body composition test I did gave me). 👍🏻 Googling "how much lean body mass do i have" gives a lot of search results and I found the calculator through that.
Is that a typo? Like an extra 0? I ask because I weigh 180lbs currently so my 1/2 is 90oz which is what I drink unless I have something caffeinated (I drink more water when I consume caffeine).
1. Drink more water
2. Eat more protein
3. Resistance train
4. Eat more (raise metabolism)
5. Eat more fiber
6. Get more sleep
I’m guilty of struggling with sleep and I have been FOREVER. Everything else comes somewhat naturally (I enjoy training hard, I have a great relationship with food, etc.), but sleep’s a tough one.

Dude same tbh though hahah. I get 8 hours most nights but my sleep cycle has always been waaaaay far off what is optimal
I would love 8 hours of sleep. At most, I get 5-6 if I’m lucky.

@@MissFitAndNerdy Thank you for replying! I tried some ashwagandha at your recommendation from a previous video last night and went to bed a little earlier and had better quality of sleep! I’ll keep going giving it my all 🥰
Hi Marissa! Love your videos❤️ I have a question for you about Cardio: What about functional training? Do you think it could be a better approach than treadmill and does it have a different impact on our metabolism and on our results? I mean: I think that Kind of cardio is different from 50 mins of running and maybe adding some functional circuit even WITH weights could be more beneficial in order to lose fat. What do you think about it? Thank you, love from Italy ❤️
Wanted to be first, but I’ll take second 😁
haha I appreciate the comment so much either way! :)
19:58 Waking up at 9:30am is not going to be pretty? Wow, what time do you go to bed? haha
Yeaaahhhh I go to sleep around 2:30 🙈 I get 8 hours but it’s definitely less than ideal lmao
all you have to do to know if you are drinking enough water is to look at your pee. it should be almost clear or very light yellow
Unless you take vitamins- then even neon yellow can actually be “normal” lol. But by evening (if you supplement, especially Bs in the morning) it should be light yellow again, yes.
Yes, this is a good indicator too!
Ummmmmmmmmm hi sweet potato nacho recipe please!?!?!? I saw that and my jaw dropped. Please link the recipe you used! ❤️❤️❤️
You say the measurement for protein is grams per kg of lean body mass but isn't it difficult to accurately measure? Afaik you can take your overall body weight and eat 1,6-2g per kg or your height in cm? Is that correct?
With a body composition test like inbody you will know your lean body mass.
@@DewelynC sure that's a good option but are you advising everyone to do that in order to simply know how much protein to eat? Doesn't seem practical. More over, your lean body mass will increase with working out.
@@SoulInFlames No, but it is one way to know it. Personally I don't think one needs to know to a gram's exactness how much protein to eat, if they are just common people. I've lost weight and gained muscle by just following the average nutrition guidelines of my country's food authority and am using inbody to track my progress biannually. But it is one way to know your current lean body mass if you have no idea. Hopes this cleared things up. 😊
@@DewelynC Great it works for you, but not what I was asking :) I see the 1,6-2g per kg of body weight very often and thus my question.
@@SoulInFlames
Google Lean Body Mass Calculator and you will find a calculator that gives pretty accurate results (I compared the result it gave to the result body composition test I did gave me). 👍🏻 Googling "how much lean body mass do i have" gives a lot of search results and I found the calculator through that.
Is that tea recipe on your channel thoo?
Humans are not bees...got it. Lol
Yes this is the important takeaway hahaha
🤣
When you talk about increasing 50 calories/week during reverse dieting, does it mean we can eat 50 more calories/day or 8 more calories/day?
50 per day. Reversing is finicky but your body is not going to register anything as small as 8 calories.
It should look like this
Week 1:1550 /day
Week 2: 1600 /day
Week 3: 1650/day
etc :)
The struggle of going to buy the honey and it costing more then double the price for shipping :(
Lol I realized I eat 54gms of fibre some days. 😄 hasn't been too bad yet.
So apparently my daily ounces of water is now 2400oz 😳😳 that’s half my weight in ounces
Is that a typo? Like an extra 0? I ask because I weigh 180lbs currently so my 1/2 is 90oz which is what I drink unless I have something caffeinated (I drink more water when I consume caffeine).
I don't think you're 4800 lbs lol
@@MissFitAndNerdy no no I’m 300lbs lol. Did I hear the equation wrong? Your weight in ounces divided by two
@@JesseTaylorVigneux Weight/2--> oz. So 300/2= 150--> 150oz is the goal :)
@@MissFitAndNerdy thank you so much! Makes much more sense now.
2:53 what is that in liters?😁
I tried to reverse diet and I just got fat :(
Have a toddler - sleep impossible :(
