I watched this video today after feeling bad about myself after seeing that I have just let myself go. So I put on a work out and lifted hard. I pray this is the start of something new for me.
I KNEW IT!! I knew I wasn't eating enough for weight loss. THANK YOU! I'm so sick of people telling me my diet is the issue when I've been eating under 2000 calories a day every day for the past 5 years.
Your point is interesting and has some elements of truth. However, the idea that doing a lot of cardio will inherently lead to a slower metabolism is an oversimplification. Yes, your body does become more efficient at an exercise the more you do it, and over time, you might burn fewer calories doing the same amount of exercise. But that doesn't mean your overall metabolism is slowing down. In fact, increasing your physical activity generally helps to increase your metabolic rate, not decrease it. This is because exercise, including cardio, helps to increase muscle mass, and muscle is more metabolically active than fat. That being said, I do agree that we shouldn't rely solely on cardio for weight loss or overall fitness. Resistance training is also crucial as it helps to build muscle mass, which can boost metabolism and improve body composition. Plus, it offers a host of other health benefits like improved bone health and better physical function. As for diet, it plays a vital role in weight management, and combining regular exercise with a balanced, calorie-controlled diet is typically the best approach for sustainable weight loss. In conclusion, the key to a successful fitness or weight loss program isn't to choose cardio or weight training-it's to include both, along with a balanced diet and adequate rest. Everyone is different, and what works best will depend on individual goals, preferences, and health needs.
I always considered myself a hard gainer, but the reality was I had always had a lousy diet. As soon as I started following the Agoge Diet, I started gaining muscle fast!
Absolutely brilliant! Best explanation ever. I have been all over RU-vid and I’m wanting to get in shape, I’ve been afraid of going to the gym, I do have a membership I just haven’t gone yet. I started by watching your how to tutorials on how to handle weights and what to do with them, but the only advice I’ve gotten from a friend was to just lift weights & the fat will come off and I totally was confused by that, but you have made it very clear and I now understand what he was trying to tell me now. Wonderful video you got yourself a new subscriber
Thanks, Mind Pump team! I just bought the mom bundle and did the first pre-phase workout 1. I couldn't believe how much it has waken up my muscle and made me hungry after. I will finish the whole bundle and see what happens. BTW I am a 50-year-old housewife and have been doing random workout routines in the past four years.
Every time I lost weight, it started by lifting weights. You don't lose weight in the beginning but over time it works. I lifted once or twice at the beginning of the week, my cheat days were the days I lifted. I ate less later in the week and weighed myself on Friday. I was able to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week easily. Now after the pandemic, I need to do it again.
It took about 5 months to lose 30 pounds. I went from 267 to 237. Along the way I noticed my chest getting bigger and waist getting smaller. I noticed my pants fit better. Now I need to do it again. I'm on a mission to lose 100 pounds before I hit age 40 in a year and a half. The pandemic kept me away from the gym. Now I'm going again.
Implementing a 30min interval running regimen almost each day seems to be helping - belly and fat feels like its reducing and the scale just does all kinds of zig zagging maybe 6lb lower on average since a month but clothes fitting better. Seems about right Update: really got into almost daily 30min+ of weight training most days each month in 2023, way better results. Not going low cal, just better nutrition / more real food.
When I started to get back into shape after years of neglect and being age 57 70 lbs over weight . I was told do a curcit weight training to lose weigh and cardio and a calorie defeset with healthy clean eating. Now it did work for awhile lost 30 lbs but it was slow But then I platuide. But I remembered when I was younger had 30 lbs to lose I did a 4 day weight training split amd use to get in shape fast. So I switched to that along with hit cardio and wow what a diffreance . I gained muscle and broke through the platu and am getting shredded. My only supplements are post protein powder drink and AG green juice with a good multi vitamin and cretin ang uped my calories form 1500 to 1900. It worked . But I cycle my calories with refeeds and interment fasting. Been working well l for me. Big thing ..NO proceeded foods or sugar hardley ever .
Great Video! I Just started strength training with a PT and as a newbie Im still very nervous about having to eat more calories and meet a macros target but I trust the process and know the more muscle I build will burn more calories and that If I am taking in nutritious food not just junk that this food will fuel my workouts and speed my metabolism up.
I was eating 1200 calories for years since being a teenager even while making sure to exercise and could never lose weight. People would always say it’s about deficit but I was always in so much of a deficit all the time (like below my bmr) that my vitamins also depleted and the life had been sucked out of me and the fat just stuck, like my body stored it as a defense mechanism. I am only just now (at 22) trying what i haven’t done before, which is actually increasing calories to eventually drop the fat. I feel like my body just hit a chronic plateau eating as little as I was that long. Now I’m focusing on growth, building, etc. If there is one thing I know I can do, it’s build muscle. So I will at least do that right now and figure out the cut later. This video helps a lot!
Nice Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Millawdon Right Nourishment Trick (just google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for loosing weight while keeping it off without complex diets without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
Great video! Precious tips! Thank you guys! You are precious as well for those who want to do things right! Hope you have been rewarded for all this efforts! You guys deserve it!
Brilliant video 👍🏻 starting hypertrophy training 4 times a week 💪 making sure I’m eating minimum of 80g protein per day which is 1g per kilo of body weight. Gonna do this for a period of time and see how my physique is looking and go from there
What do you mean by don't over rely on cardio? I love to do cardio post strength training because I can Watch A Series or tutorial (45mins) while burns calories and that can boost metabolism and I can Over eat without getting fat
They just want to say something different for viewership only. Fact is it depends on body. He is throwing bullshit here based on people experience. The fact is most people are idiot to describe what they actually are doing all day including junk eating. The fact is cardio always consume calories and increase metabolism after 3-4 months. Another of youtubers has good knowledge, if you ask from an army person , he can teach you how to reduce fat within 2 months 😁.
He’s literally just saying you should also strength train and eat enough and your body will react by losing excess fat easier - what we’re y’all even confused about? Lol
This is what I don't get: we're supposed to consume fewer calories than we burn (calorie deficit) in order to lose fat, yet at the same time if do that for too long, we will slow our metabolism and thus gain fat. Can anyone help?
All this is relative to your gender, height, current weight, current muscle mass (training), metabolism and being natural. Im also talking about aesthetic goals. A) maingain: stay the same weight (desired weight) and slowly replace the weight (fat) into lean muscle mass. B) get shredded: be lightweight, calorie deficit (strict diet) look good without a shirt but small in a shirt, be weak C) bulk: be heavier, calorie surplus (eat what you want) look fat naked but fill in your shirt, be strong. Answer both b and c then a for a bit and then start the cycle again after you are comfortable with how your body look and feels (weight) then stay at a. Tip: You can never meet your dream physique so dont chase it instead chase after numbers but dont get hurt doing so. Example 5’4, male, 170 lbs, slow metabolism, noob. Your not going to bulk because you are heavy for your height and probably dont have muscle. So you can do a or b id do a and treat it like im bulked. After i make some muscle and strength id change to c then a for a bit then b rinse and repeat.
@@davidperez6040 I chose B and lost about 5 pounds and any muscle I might’ve gained, then I tried to start eating at maintenance and I gained that weight back within 2 Weeks. What do I do?
I suspect that anti depressants drastically slow metabolism, I was never fat before but it suddenly changed when I was taking it and now I’m off I still can’t loose it!
I fast for 5 days straight and dranked a gallon of water in that 5 days, I lost 19 pounds in that 5 days and my metabolism got faster. I didn't work out, it's awesome.
@@fhjjgttyhh4762 my bad, that was a typo I lost 19 pounds. From what you are saying I'm doing a good job. To get closer to God while fasting you will die slowly. Thank you.
@@daedalussss5580 I spread the gallon out to five. Instead of doing a dry fast. I actually just started a dry fast yesterday on the 9th, I'm going to try for 10 days since I don't have to go to work. Once you do 3 days, you don't want to even eat. I'm not hungry.
Thank you for the good info Sal. In the video, you mentioned traditional strength training, and I wonder if you mean the typical split schedule, i.e. chest day, back day, leg day, etc.) I currently do 90% kettlebell work (swings, clean and presses, squats, TGU) and add some heavy club, battle rope and sand bag work. My workouts tend to be somewhat cardio intensive. Would this cause a slowing of my metabolism?
Great Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Dinanlinson Trained Body Approach (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for learning how to lose weight while avoiding fad diets without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got cool results with it.
I'm on ADHD meds. Which are very well known for appitite suppression. I only feel hungry once a day. Usually around 6pm or later. I eat a relatively healthy diet, and do weight or strength training for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. I'm getting ready to bumb up my daily workouts to around 60 minutes a day. Which means consuming enough calories is a stuggle. It's Saturday, and as of 8pm I managed 850 (that is with making an effort). I'll have a few beers, not light beers, so I'll end up around 1600 to 1800. Not the way I want to hit my caloric intake. On a work night I struggle to surpass 1000. I could, if I eat like shit or eat crap after dinner even though I'm not hungry. Any suggestions?
I think she means 100 calories every 2 weeks 😉. If you see the scale move up too much, you can increase every 3 or 4 weeks or increase only by 50 calories.
Check this out. I eat nothing but chicken breast for 7 months. 2 a day once a day. I lost 38LB by the last month. Then November arrived I thought it was safe to eat for 1 month. I gained 22 LB in one month of eating twice a day no junk food just regular meat and veggies. Seems I don't even need food to survive
I am in a training program that has me doing weight lifting m/w/f with 30 min LISS cardio those days.. except wed whic is leg day.. then in 30 min interval cardio on t/th/sat with rest day on Sunday.. I am 5’4 144.3 lbs and I haven’t lost a pound and I feel exhausted... how do I know if I am in the right programs? I do spinning for cardio..
How often should a person increase their calories when boosting their metabolism? A couple of weeks or a month? Just curious so I can plan accordingly. Also, didn't Sal write a book on this? If so, what is the title?
go a 100 a week. weigh your self daily and average it for the week, look in the mirror too.. When you weight levels off then jump up another 100. My maintenance is 2600.. I go 100 a week. once i get to 2900 it takes about 2 weeks for weight to level off. you will gain minimal fat, and might lose weight in the process. I walked up from 2300 to 2900 and lost 7lbs in the process. keep in mind you cant walk calories up forever, also keep in mind just because your weight might increase does not mean it is fat. could be muscle since you are technically eating in a surplus before you flatline.
Can functional training like trx and kettlebess resistance good for strength as I may have too stop barbell work at bit cause of systoms I am on 1400 at the mo but still getting used too it
There's so much conflicting data out here it's hard to know what's right. I'm not sure if I'm slowing or speeding up my metabolism now. I eat one meal a day at lunch time (IF 22/2) but I'm eating around 1700-1800 calories, modified keto. I don't do traditional weight training. I train with a 40lbs Bulgarian bag doing this circuit ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZYLmEtAACZQ.html 3 days a week. Stretching/yoga, running, and core on off days. I am getting into better shape but I'm not sure if this is going to hurt me in the long run. Right now I feel good and it feels sustainable.
Add calories slowly (100-300 extra daily) and incorporate 1-2 days of full body resistance training a week. Also, portion your meals smaller but eat more frequently.
Question for anybody that knows and can answers this accordingly with facts and no personal opinion. I have a swim suit I want to fit in 6 weeks I regularly lift weights and hardly do cardio If I go on a quick 3-6 day 900 calories diet to quickly fit into the swim suit. Do u think it will slow down my metabolism
I'm water fasting and want to lose 30 pounds this month. I got some cables, can I do pushups and bicep curls with the cables for a weight lifting workout and raise my metabolism that way?
Long term fasting destroys the metabolism as the body adapts to starvation. To speed it up you have to eat your set amount of calories in more meals, so if you want to lose fat 1800 calories over 6 meals a day with weight lifting 3 times a week for an hour.
and here I didn't believe my doctor when she said if I kept starving myself, I would gain weight. I ate one meal a day for ten years. And now, I just can't seem to lose weight or eat more!
For men 100% get your T levels checked because Testosterone plays a big part in Metabolism. All the dieting and working out in the world cant counter a hormone imbalance thats effecting it. Especially if you're one of the people who lose weight then gain it back like its nothing.
ahahahahahahha so I needed to ease into eating more to speed my metabolism up? Because I just straight up went from 1600 calories / day to 3k+ calories per day. Literally one day to the next from 1.6k to 3k+ What have I done to myself? I was shocked how easy it was. What I'm also annoyed by now is how hard it is to shove 3k calories down my throat in 8 hours doing go lean every single day. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
our bodies adapted not evolved....our Lord created us with this capability....their is no scientific evidence of evolution..stay true to the Lord for He is Truth...I support all other statement's Sal has made
@@mikejames987 no - there is absolutely so scientific evidence of species changing from one family to another - thats just a simple fact and Darwin knew it and stated it in his book - modern evolutionary biologists today know that Darwin is wrong because that evidence does not exist and instead today write about other possibilities - evolution is dead as a theory - it was never a scientific law only a hypothesis and then a theory - it has never been proven scientifically instead just the opposite has been revealed - we now know that one cannot turn a dog into a fish no matter how you adapt it - the giraffe did not evolve from a deer family or horse family a giraffe has always been a giraffe - PS i am a human not a doughnut - it is literally impossible for me to e a doughnut - the same can be said of you - you can never be a doughnut either. Good luck in your search for truth - you have a long journey ahead of you - an internal one - so choose wisely
Losing weight is one of the simplest things to do just lower calories and do cardio its that simple there's no exciting life hack. If your only goal is lose weight on the scale then do those 2 things and your good to go. Don't complicate things
Lifting weights is better more efficient and less time consuming then cardio for losing weight. Your far less likely to lose any muscle by lifting weights unlike cardio you definitely can abs will if you d to much consistently!
@@ryanholmes5875 its not really about what you do to lose the weight its all about diet. its really hard to lose muscle but your wrong in thinking weights are more efficient for losing fat than cardio. if you under eat you can lose muscle regardless of whether you train weights or not. but like I said its really really unlikely that you'll lose any muscle unless your really low body fat %.
