@@naveenkdhanush Chill with the shoutin exclamations dude, just asking to know. Low calorie high volume food, so eventhough the portions appear bigger the calories are less, gotcha, thnks
Congrats finally an ACTUAL workout / diet journey. After years of mistakes I finally tracked my errors and got much better in all domains. Consistency and Diet are keys, people often think they workout a lot, or enough, but if you look week by week, the one missed session there and there becomes several weeks missed in 6 months. Also diet is really the core of everything, counting protein is the basis, and stop thinking you can eat shit and get away with it even if you are a so called "hard gainer". :)
I got an mri 3 weeks ago for my knee and I have had the exact same experience and have just started cardio and weights after no activity in fear of my knee. You are a big inspiration and I have started this journey for weight loss in the last week and your video has been a great motivation. Also congrats for the video blowing up
Started to gym in the beginning of the year at age 25 and realise that muscles took time to grow, now I am left with a toned upper physique and a heavy tummy :) I still continued snacking moderately and cut carbs by eating less rice. Didn't try fasting as well. Nonetheless, this video is an inspiration to me to maintain my fitness, as well as maintaining my mental sharpness.
You're exactly like me. I'm also borderline overweight. I've started my journey, I'm not that much into fitness but doing home fitness twice a week, 2 times a week cardio and martial art 3 days a week effectively 7 activities a week while also being in a calorie deficit. In the first month I lost like 5kg, I'm still going and super motivated. I'm very curious where this journey leads me, but one thing I'm sure of.. I'm glad I ditched the unhealthy lifestyle, I feel way better now.
good video but It's amazing how few people have heard of the banned Borlest books,I have a suggestion for those who train to read a book called "You are stronger than you think".
@@gameseeker6307 Yeah, what's more likely, all traces including forum posts have been scrubbed from the internet, or some random dude on a youtube video who posted some vague cryptic nonsense. Also, there are so many books titled "You are stronger than you think" first one that comes up is a Joel Osteen book.
Thanks for saving me 6 minutes 😂 would genuinely pay out for one at this point but I can't find an English speaking trainer in my neighborhood and I don't expect to anytime soon.
Honestly one of the best and realistic videos on fat loss journey. Congrats man, love to see it and keep it up! Incline walking is game changing glad to see many more people include it in their daily life (currently incline walking a while typing!).
I think this is exactly what I needed! I’ve got cartilage issues in my right knee, and I’ve just started at the gym to see if I can improve it, whilst also gain body confidence (get rid of the fat, and tone up without getting ‘shredded’) but just feeling better about taking off my top at the beach or on holiday! 6’ 2” 107kg
I'm only half way through and I will finish but so many times have I just longed for a straight up like hey this is what I did video. And this was perfect with the nonsense in the right places to make it enjoyable. Good video.
This is one of the greatest examples of how a video should be done. Nice and short intro with all the premises and goals outlined in a simple yet captivating way. Then, all the steps that brought you to reach the goal. Congrats! 🥳
This is very inspirational for my fat loss journey. Thank you and this was a really great video! You kept things concise and you didn’t let any points linger for too long
Where I’m at now is about where you were at the end of phase 3 and I’ve hit a wall where I’ve just been maintaining. Today has been spent looking at my goals, reworking my diet, workout routine, and my basic understanding of nutrition, weight loss and muscle gain and I’m ready to get in the gym tomorrow with my infinity gauntlet and finish what I’ve started. Thanks bro!
Nice bro, I was at 305lbs at my heaviest and I finally got to a point where I needed to make changes. I am at 245lbs now, I have a long way to go and have been plateauing a bit again, but this inspired me to keep it up. I am consistent in gym and cardio but the diet is the hardest part for me.
I want to applaud you specifically on your realistic perspective in this journey! Far too often do we lose sight of what the goal really was and getting in and out of a car without being afraid is such a wonderful goal to work for! Really well done!
As someone who started their own weight loss journey I'm kinda comparing and contrasing what you've done to what I'm doing and I'm glad to see that I've gotten some stuff right but that there's still room for improvement. Gonna be tweaking my own diet to add more protein and see what I can do about reducing trans fat intake. Cheers for the video and congrats on making it to your goal!
It's crazy how much people overcomplicate this stuff. Do compound lifts, lower overall calories while keeping protein higher and maybe do some cardio (dont even need it to lose weight but it's good for you). Even simpler eat less move more. The hard part is sticking to it not knowing what to do, it's sticking with it. The known secret is consistency.
If you want to know more about how not to refuck your plans because of certain crucial events (like festive season in this case) read about the HAPA model (Health Action Process Aproach) and see what is crucial for a lifestyle modification to go well. It's psychology based so it actually has scientific evidence and doesn't rely on hand-me-down knowledge. great video!
I lost 25lbs in military training. Proceeded to gain all of it back during some rough times. This is the inspiration I needed to get back to work. Thanks!
1:41 How the hell has a Burnistoun reference ended up on this video? Delighted to see it - Burnistoun is incredibly underrated - but very unexpected! Or did I miss something, and this has become a meme?
Nice video, well-edited, short, and precise. I am on a similar journey, I started to skip my breakfast to break into calorie deficit, 5 days of gym 30min cardio 30min strength, and on the weekend a game of football.
pretty cool that you didn't show that you can just magically become overly shredded, just makes it feel more real great video btw! hope your channel blows up
I would not recommend this to anyone but I went from 210lbs to 165 in a year by basically starving myself. Initially I would eat 1 meal a day and eventually 1 every 2 days. Don't drink anything with sugar or fat, just do water if you can. Its been 6 years since then, I still have bad eating habits and have had a lot of trouble gaining any substantial muscle. Last week I decided enough is enough and I am forcing myself to eat a minimum of 2 meals a day and workout every other day. Gained 2 pounds so far! Hopefully I can make it to 180 by end of summer!
Tracking my calorie intake and cutting out unhealthy/sweetened food has helped me a lot. My weekly training routine looks something like this: - Train 3 to 5 times a week - Go for walks on rest days - Eat about 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight daily - Eat mostly clean (healthy food, no processed food, lots of vegetables and fruit) If you do this regularly, you should see results. Also, don't blame yourself if you eat unhealthy sometimes. I occasionally have days where I eat two chocolate bars in a row, but if these days are rare, it doesn't matter.
You had realistic goals in a short amount of time. Being shredded takes time and consistency. I liked your goals. It's all about being confident with your own body. Every bodytype is unique, hence why it takes longer for someone to reach their goals than others.
I went from 127kg to 90kg over a year just by dropping sodas and snacking less. My ideal weight is 80kg and putting on that Joji demigod body. I'd been slacking and back slid to 93kg, but having your video randomly popup in my feed inspired me to get back on that grind.
i dropped from 90kg - > 67 KG in 5 months before covid , i felt great , lighter and much more active but i wasnt looking great . Then covid happened and i was a couch potato once again, munching away snacks and neglect working out , which made me gained weight till i was like 75kg with a pouch belly. Last year, i started going to gym for like once a week cause thats all i can fit in my schedule. Working out at home whenever i could. One day after a gym session, my shoulder was in aching pain, I thought its normal to feel that way but I skipped going to the gym since the pain was there . feels like its shoulder impingement . Anyhow, thanks for the motivation to start my journey again!
Congratulations! Fantastic Video and Editing. Good humor too. I need to start this journey soon, but i wait until after summer. Too hot right now. Fall season i am going to do cardio and some basic strenght training, but i do it all at home. Maybe i am going to find a personal trainier too, but they are very expensive.
This is 100% it. I have been doing basically exactly this for 8 months now - not really meal prepping but I like to cook. I run a caloric deficit, cardio every day, and fill up on veggies every meal. I've lost 26kg and went from panting down the street to running 5km
So... here's my eventual plan, I am currently doing a video game exercise challenge (I would LOVE some exercise tips), and I would LOVE to buy Factor meals to help me in eating better. Because well... I just don't feel (mentally) like cooking. Would that be a good balance of things to lose weight? Maybe I could add morning walks, or maybe even a desk bike?
Without the trainer bit, i did the same. I had lower back vertebrae damage. With animal flow included as part of the training, doing the proper meals and sticking to them, I now move better than I did in my 20s. (I'm 40+)
This is an amazing journey! You are a living proof that with determination and appropriate support, things get clearer towards the goal. I think this applies to everything. :D Thanks for sharing your journey!
I always used to struggle with losing body fat myself, but now it is the easiest thing I've ever done. I personally lost 30 kg (66 lbs) without losing strength and muscle mass in 8 months. Many people think that to lose body fat, a "caloric deficit" is all that matters, but this is absolutely not true. I've learned that food quality and macro-nutrient composition are just as important. Here are the top 5 things I've changed that made all the difference for me, besides being in a caloric deficit: (1) - I reduced my carbs. This made the biggest difference for me. Reducing carbs allows your body to use more body fat as a fuel source. I mainly focused on eating more protein and healthy fats. You can still lose body fat on a higher carb diet, but if you have insulin-resistance, then I highly suggest you completely avoid carbs for 2-3 weeks until your insulin-resistance reduces. Then slowly start introducing carbs back into your diet. (2) - Drink more water. This is underrated, but drinking 500 ml of water in between meals boosts your metabolism up to 30% (3) - Resistance training. This prevents you from losing muscle mass and also improves insulin sensitivity. (4) - High-intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This boosts your metabolism, improves insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function and stimulates fat burning. (5) - SLEEP! Try getting between 7-9 hours of undisturbed sleep every night. Implement these 5 things into your fat loss regime and I guarantee you results.
Nice video and great editing. I did a similar journey. Started at 100 kg (188 cm) in March, now im down to 84 kg, feels great. Setbacks are normal I guess, for me it was Greece and so much great food ^_^
your journey beginning sounds like my current state. I had personal trainers, I am in the gym 3 days a week, I get in6-10k steps + a day, cut out drinking, but still gaining weight.
Hell yeah brother. At 26 I have been able to get by while eating like shit by overtraining. 6-7 days a week. I know I can’t keep that up, especially as I age. I’ve really got to lock in my diet. I’ve never consistently tracked it, ever. I’ll get there.
Very well done. Made me have a chuckle a couple of times while being very informative. Also, never depress yourself into thinking I went on vacations and ate rather scrumptiously. That's what they're for. I would also binge eat the good stuff in Japan without a single regret. If I had to feel "restrained" while on vacations, that would immediately make the vacations lesser. Good job on your journey!
Newbie here. What parts of the video are considered good editing? A lot of people are complementing on the editing, and I’m trying to figure that out. Is it the coloring? Transitions? Filters?
Super proud bud @Dargoyaki! I'm currently in the process of losing weight too. I've been naturally thin/fit most of my life. Have worked out on/off for most of it in fact. However, eating Costco muffins + ice cream led me to packing on ~20 lbs of fat. I went from 165 - 170 lbs @ 12 - 15% body fat to 187 lbs @ probably ~25% body fat...? Back when I cut that shit out, and ever since I've maintained by eating fine. But, never strict enough to lose weight. I recently said enough is enough, especially with how exhausting being overweight is. Since I have a sedentary career I started incorporating 10,000+ steps/day, not including eating in a caloric defecit with strict macros. I started last Monday, and I've already noticed a difference. I have a calendar reminder to help. But, every week I take progress photos and send them to my Uncle to help keep me accountable. I'm really looking forward to seeing the change come 90 days in. Keep being the best version of you possible!
yeah basically i did that, ive lost 15kg and being shredded isnt my goal, but finally i see my veins and i got compliments on my body however ive got gyno from my teenage years and it takes away all my confidence because i dont have that flat looking chest sadly:/
That’s honestly great video brother and awesome editing. I like that it was tips and tricks you learned but also your personal experience. Everyone’s body type is different and for you it seemed finding out that a decrease in fat intake was what would set the difference. I’m a huge foodie and although I have the discipline to eat well, I find that on days where I have nothing to do I end up eating too much. Finding the mental balance between achieving my weight loss goals while also not going too far and hating my life is generally my struggle. I’m currently at like a 186-189 range at 5’8” but I lift pretty heavy and have been implementing cardio (generally stair-master) after every workout. Which I try to weight train around 3~4 days a week. Burning generally 700-1k calories every workout. The problem is definitely the food for me 😂
Keep going! I think the one that really helped me out was cutting out excessive fat from my diet. I still snacked during this phase, but I’d always limit myself to ensure I don’t end up binging and it did help satisfy my cravings enough to keep going
