Back with another video! This time it's about the single most important variable for fat loss: creating a calorie deficit. Without a calorie deficit, you will not be able to lose fat. So in this video, I first explain what a calorie deficit is and why it's important. And later in the video, I show you a simple way you can get a good calorie starting point that will put most people in a calorie deficit. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to comment below!
The jump rope can help fat loss by creating a larger calorie deficit. But it won't specifically burn off thigh fat. We can't spot reduce body fat, you lose fat overall.
this really helps, i’ve been in a calorie deficit for a few months now and went from 261-225 im now working out hard everyday multiple times and trying to get below 200 pounds within the next 2 months
I'm kinda confused so I use a calorie intake calculator it says I need to take 2,500 Calories a day so does that mean I burn all 2,500 calories every day???? If so that'll be so hard and time consuming
I just used an online calculator, I was 67 kilos back then, then starting at March, I did fasted workouts in the morning during a calorie deficit of 500 (calcu said I needed 2.6k, so I ate 2.1k) Now I'm 61kg, and eat 2k calories a day and still loosing weight, glad I saw your video! Edit: damnit, now I'm 75kg. Now I'm back here I guess lmao (2022) 80kg.... College life is causing me to stress eat... (dec 2022)

Makes sense. I didn’t change my diet - didn’t lose any weight. I lost inches. But I was still carrying a lot of weight. So I decided to finally change my diet and see how lowering sugars, processed foods, salts, dairy, and other junk I was eating will help me actually shred. I’m not a teenager anymore :/ so the reality is… I needed this video Thank you
I recently put on about 5 pounds, and noticed that i couldnt see my abs and ribs in the mirror as well as before. i found this video and i cant tell you how much its helped! the video was clear and concise with good information. thanks!

Definitely subbing to this channel. This is the type of creator I want to follow. Simple, honest, straight to the point, doesn't promote cosmetics (which is sometimes tolerable). Thank you!

@@metalrockstarizer89 eat less calories than your body needs. If you need 2500 calories the you instead only consume 2000 calories and that 500 calories that your body needs extra will instead be took from existing body fat meaning that your body will eat away at your fat in order to get the calories it needs, thus making you lose body fat and weight.
Seriously thank you man I've been struggling for the past 2 days and you have finally helped me look at everything I've been trying to put together and making things alot easier for me thank you
Okay finally I get it now. Go to the gym regularly and eat as many calories as your body weight needs so if I’m 190lbs I need 1,900-2000 calories a day to keep my weight so if I go burn say 500 calories at the gym don’t come home and eat it all back just have a light snack type of deal. So much easier than I thought . I thought when people said burn more calories than u eat I was like wait so if I eat 2000 calories a day I have to burn 2100 calories? I didn’t understand it till now so thank you lol
Thank you for explaining this so well I watched so many other videos and I instantly got annoyed because they were not explaining it properly and the videos were so long.
I’m 250lbs I was at 270 2 months ago. Dieting only, with 1500 calorie intake a day I lost about 2lbs a week. My question is once I hit that plateau, will hitting the gym significantly help me increase that deficit? I ask this because I don’t want to eat less than 1500 calories a day as it’s not too safe
Finally someone who makes sense. I am 63 years old, weigh in at 116Kg, and i am 180cm tall. i need to get my weight down to at least 90Kg. Classic Dad or in my case soon to be Grand dad body. I have started by reducing sugar, and cutting carbs. Will let you know how i am progressin
Im a little slow I couldn’t understand what a calorie deficit was 😂 but this video really helped me get a better understanding, thank you so much for the video! 😊

@@Harunmahamed26 Depending on how you weigh is how much calories you lose by doing nothing at all, for example, i weigh 85 kg and I lose 1,800 calories without exercise because you burn calories just by existing. if i ate 2000 calories which is the recommended intake of calories. 2000 - 1800 = 200 calories, so i would to burn 200 calories and an extra 100 or more to be in a deficit. I was also in your position and thought I had to burn 2,500 calories a day just by exercise which is very unrealistic and too much.
Solid information about calories. Tired of all the nonsense about types of diets and which one is superior for fat loss when at the end of the day if you have not created a caloric deficit then weight loss will not occur. Calories are king!

More cardio is always a good choice. I did 4.7 miles on the elliptical. Even 20 minutes of walking per day is amazing. Daily exercise is key. Calories need to be under 2,000 per day to lose any weight. I go down to 1,200.

What a detailed information! I just started my calorie deficit 2 days ago. Im wondering should I consider about my carbo and sugar intake or just focus on calories? Thanks!
I am 155lbs. Calculator said I need to have 1500 cal. But I on most days eat up to 800-1000 cal. Burn 400 cal on most days and 300 cal on other.. I have lost 2.2 lbs in past 1 month
Not dumb at all! It's mostly about controlling calories. If you consume 10 calories per pound of your (goal) bodyweight, you'll have a good starting point for fat loss.
All I know is that 40 years ago I first heard about calories in versus calories out. I started counting my daily calories and kept it around 1500 calories a day until I reached my goal. These days I consume 2000 to 2200 calories to maintain. I eat the foods that I like and eat mostly whole foods. That is simply because you get more satiety for fewer calories that way. I am never hungry. My weight has stayed at the recommended level of 185. P.S. - I threw out my bathroom scale decades ago. I simply monitor the notches in my belt to see how I am doing. The only time I get weighed is when I go for my physical.
So my battery percentage rn is like %1000 cuz I’m fat, but I still feel tired 😂😂 Jokes aside, I always kept hearing about Calorie Deficit and this video was good in educating me about it, thanks man!

@@Grant_55 yeah so basically u gotta eat like however much calories u need then what u do is burn like a good 300-500 calories a day right then leave the rest to ur body cuz it burns normally then u should be good 🙏
you can literally do no exercise and still lose weight. as long as you are in a calorie deficit. our body burns calories even when we sleep, but yes its true going to the gym being active does speed up the process, it matters much more what you eat to lose weight rather then hitting the gym
crazy helpful info as always but I’m still confused about one thing: if you do steady state cardio 3-4 times a week, should you make up the extra calories deficit through your diet (aka eating more)? Right now I eat at 12x per pound of body weight and do cardio at least 3 times per week yet my fat loss has been stagnant.
Hey Ali! I would not eat back the calories you burn via exercise since it's not clear how many calories you really burn during the cardio. More often than not people then end up eating back too many calories. If your progress measures are currently stagnant, consider another 10% calorie-drop to increase your deficit. Hope this helps!

I was told before that as a man I need to consume 2000-2500 calories a day. I knew that there had to be a more sophisticated method per calculating calorie intake but never really explored. This method sounds a bit more realistic as everybody has different needs depending on their body weight. I believe it can be improved by including height, metabolism, and other genetic factors though.
Awesome video bro! But just to clarify. I want to lose my stomach fat. So that way I’m able to get a 6 pack. I weigh 195 and workout 6-7 days a week and lift heavy. What would you recommend my calorie intake should be? So that way I can be in a caloric deficit. Thank you bro 🙏🏽
10-12 calories per pound of your bodyweight is a good general target to aim for. So that's around 2200 kCals per day in your case, as a starting point :)
