What's the worst dieting mistake you've made? Hope you enjoyed this one - don't forget to give me a follow on Instagram to stay updated: instagram.com/jeremyethier/ ! Cheers!
I did IF to lose weight drastically, lowered my calories by 1000 i lost the weight along with muscle , now i eat a sustainable diet still do IF added carbs to my diet and my.body composition has improved,sometimes to much is not good.
No hype, no shouting, no talking so fast that you have to rewind, and with scientific studies to support your approach. Thank you Jeremy, keep up the good work!
@@johnpanicker7590 Not sure, I eat keto 99% of the time. I don't feel the need to cheat or take a break. I enjoy what I eat, and going off keto makes me feel like garbage. I carb load once a month with a giant bowl of rice (no fats). Which is only to restore glycogen stores. Or once in a while when there's a special occasion with friends or family. Even then, I try to minimize the carbs and sugar.
thalai143 Did you not read the description down below the video bro? Jeremy gave him credit as he has too. You can’t just take intellectual property, especially music and use it anywhere you like without crediting, paying for and having a prearrangement for the use. Come on man you know this right?!
I’ve been a solid fan for a while. I have watched almost all your videos before I started weight training, and your content has gotten even better. Thank you so much for giving free content for all of us.
Iam at my journey now but got stuck at 77/76kg, I started at 93kg last january, I drastically reduced my calorie intake and maintain my 5km run 6 days a week for almost 4 months. Thank for your video man, now I understand why.
The best thing about diet breaks is they actually motivate you to mantain your diet. I mean, I just found out about it and I'm already excited about implementing it 2 or 3 weeks from now.
Hey brother, been watching you for min maybe haven’t seen a lot of recent vids but huge quality increase! Love to see you succeed cause of the quality of your content but visually you stepped up.
ME: Subscribes gym membership GYM GUY: You should try our personal training sessions to accelerate weight loss. We have the best professionals. ME: I have JEREMY!
But your personal self-analysis, where you are, where you can get, you have to do yourself. Jeremy is not doing any differences from man to woman, from 20 year old to 50 year old - he is quiet ignorant.
@@binitoooo Sure, but that's no reason for him not to improve to get more focused attention. When he communicates his target group, he gets more views from this group, and less "disappointed" views from other groups. But as people from the PR-department say: Bad or good attention doesn't matter, the worst case is no attention. However, I consider is videos of good quality in content and production - but there is nothing that cannot be improved.
This is true. I was 170 cm and 92 kg at the beginning of January 2019. In my determination for losing weight but without diet or calorie knowledge for straight 40 days I ate nothing but tea and biscuit every day and small amount of vegetables, but quite amount of water (little did I know months later after gaining the knowledge I roughly had 300 calorie per day, crazy). At the end of 40th day I lost 10 kg, then proceed to eat normal for like a few days then start dieting again, this time with the proper way. I found that I'm not dropping weight as fast as before even I hit plateau for like 1 month(at 1500ish calorie), so I tried to "reset" my body caloric needs. After spending that one month with 1500, I pressed back my calorie to under 1000 cal, and the weight lost works again, every 2 weeks I lost 1 kg. At the end of october I was 65 kg, and I realized how small my arms were, in fact, I lost some of my muscle mass during those months of diet. This may be the results of me not tracking my macros and not doing any exercise at all, just pure diet. Lesson learned, and now I'm on the beginning of my journey to do body building, wish me luck.
Good video A quick point re diet breaks, there are actually two downsides. As mentioned the overall time to lose weight is longer. But the other thing to be aware of is that precisely BECAUSE diet breaks speed your metabolism back up, you will find the Diet/Deficit weeks more difficult than if you just went on a nonstop diet. Or to put it another way, imagine how the first week of a diet is generally the toughest then you "get used to it" (partly because your metabolism has slowed so you don't feel hungry as often). When you take diet breaks, every time you restart is like that first week. So yes diet breaks do work and they are good but there's a cost and the cost is that sticking to the diet is (non-intuitively) harder than if you don't take a break.
I like how you have been so consistent with your delivery style in each video. Calm and orderly. Unlike many other channels that shout a lot and even trying so hard to be funny to get attention.
This was really brilliant; thank-you for all the effort and research. I’ve always been very good at loosing a lot of weight quickly, but struggled maintaining the weight loss. I now completely understand where I went wrong. Cheers!
I just realized that when I am cutting my strength would go down by about 20% percent after week 2. Then I started adding sodium on purpose into my diet and it solved my strength loss issues, which allowed me to keep more muscle becasue I did not lose volulme.
Great video as always jeremy! Been thinking how long a diet break should be and when to take it, and you upload a video with this information just about the right time~
Brilliant video When I tried to lose weight before , I used to eat very less and did very less exercise The results were fast initially but those plateaus were the only thing that demotivated me And protein deficiency was also one major drawback Now I have decided to diet again and will definitely go with this strategy , going slow and steady
Thanks, I learn a ton from other fitness channels, however you put it all in one nice package, and you are excellent in your script writing and editing so that it is not confusing. This topic is what I'm looking for and been fearing. I finally got a point where I'm happy with my muscle gain(I'm not super strong, but I'm happy with my body). So next I wanted to lose fat to show it off more, and I can't seem to figure out my eating. This helped me actually realize I need to first increase my calorie intake actually and boost my metabolism, and then after that for a while, bring it back down. So this might actually get me more muscle gain first which is never a bad thing. I did hit a muscle gain limit, and I've been a chronic under eater. It was hard to just get 2500 calories in a day until very recently.
This was exactly what I needed. I started dieting two weeks ago but noticed I was losing too much weight each week (3lbs) and wasn’t quite sure how to go about fixing it without messing up. Thanks !
judy mobe I was traveling a lot so it was more like changing my habits. Only eating when I’m actually hungry, smaller portions, drinking lots of water, etc. I ended up not being nearly as hungry
I'm doing MATADOR at the moment (pretty much the same thing in your point #3). It's going pretty well. I've gained weight, but lost fat. My waist is much slimmer.
I did weight training for 2x a week for chest and biceps and 2x a week for back and triceps and legs 3 x a week .no cardio for 3 months . I put a good amount of muscle and fat. Then I did swimming 90 minutes 3 times a week and ran 2 x a week and did weights every muscle Group in one session except legs 2 x week I lost fat and maintained muscle
I agree 100%.. I stopped eating a lot (only ate 12-1300 calories) while trying to ramp up working out.. Ended up losing weight but that includes muscle for sure since I am still skinny fat with no muscle definition and totally lost all my strength at the gym.. This was followed by illness and me being not working out for a long time.. Now hope to get back to the gym while eating adequate amount of food..
When you diet for a long time your body starts to get used to the amount of calories your eating and as a result you stop losing weight, the “diet break” surprises your body and your leptin levels go up and you start to lose weight again. But you have to bring your calories up slowly and then come back to your calorie deficit.
I always thought dieting is expensive and 'healthy' food costs a lot. Little did I know. I got my diet plan from Agoge Diet and I was able to select foods that fit my budget.
@@nancydotimas1399 yeah let me explain real quick by taking a break your body breaks the cycle of your diet and actually helps to make you lose more weight because it's not stedy anymore so your body won't be use to it ....is what he is basically saying
Another great video, Jeremy! I like the new editing style, but really miss the biggest video notes at the end of the video. Would you bring them back? Keep up the good work!
Really like this video. As someone who is fairly lean, but with a bit of stomach fat, I have to say that I had to increase my caloric intake when i started working out to see better results. It took a long time of plateauin - hitting that dead end - till i realized my body doesnt have the same needs as others. Don't feel discouraged when you don't see results, just realize it might be time to try something different. Happy lifting.
My favorite channel. Thanx Jeremy. I've been transforming my body with your videos and it's amazing how my body changes so easily when I follow what you say. Thanks again and God bless you.
I used to eat 6 eggs.but I was thinking it’s to many.I cut back to 2. With a smoothie or oatmeal. I put bananas and blueberries and blackberries in my smoothie. I’ve been lifting everyday with 25 pushups. And planks.I want that lean look
I was 170lbs the start of 2022. I bulked until July and got to 210 (maybe 215 if i was super full). Now i've accepted its time to start the lean up process. excited about it, i've never had six pack abs before so now it's my goal to have 6 pack abs by december 1st 2022
Hey Jeremy, any way you could make a at home routine with just dumbbells and body weight. Working in the oil field I don’t have access to a bench yet alone a gym. Please and thank you! Long time fan!
Basically burn more kcal than you eat so that your body is in a negative for fat lost. Going guns blazing ain’t gonna work as sooner than later you will stop. Like the man said start of slowly.I guess everyone has different bodies that react differently. I really enjoyed that video. 💯
Hi Jeremy, what do you think the solution would be for a person who thinks they may be falling into mistake #2, or already making it, but wants to continue to lose body fat and retain muscle? Thanks for taking the time to make your videos, they are extremely helpful.
What if I diet for 5 days straight from Monday to Friday and then, on weekends I take a break from the diet (Saturday and Sunday)? Isnt similar to what you said? And by break I don't mean eating 5000 calories on weekends of course, maintenance or slightly above maintenance but healthy food cooked in the house. I also go to the gym regularly
Conflicting statements got me confused... Losing 1% weight per week could equate to a 1000 calorie deficit, yet the study shown says don't go below a 20% deficit, aka 500kcal. Pls someone explain
So I've been using Jeremy's Beginner Shred plan for about 2.5 weeks. I've had to adjust the plan's exercises and schedule due to using limited home equipment and my work schedule. Turns out that in all my past years of fitness attempts, I wasn't getting anywhere near enough protein. Weight loss has been a lot slower than I expected, but i think it's from muscle gains. I'm already noticeably stronger and it looks like the fat is melting off my body. As a 49 year old total noob to weight lifting fitness (I was always more of a runner/cyclist/cardio guy) I really like the program so far; much better than trainers I've used at my national chain gym.
2:56 - I never understood this argument. What do you need "leverage" for exactly? When you plateau? First off, you will plateau much, much later, second you will have lost much more fat at that point and third, as mentioned later in the video, you can simply do a diet break at that point and then resume the deficit. The only argument for this is in conjunction with your fist point, provided one views it even as a mistake and not simply a different strategy. If, with a larger deficit, I lose a tiny bit of muscle and a bit less fat, but can shave off 1/3 of the time I am cutting, that means I'm 1/3 faster out of a deficit, building muscle more efficiently, training better and feeling better. I really don't see these as clear cut, especially when using diet breaks intelligently.
I was thinking the same thing. The first study he showed, the people lost 5.5% body fat in just 40 days, compared to 60. They could use the extra 20 days to put on lean mass, while maintaining their aesthetics.
@@damianguzman391 5.5% weight lost, not fat. The fast group lost much less fat and also lost lean mass. Losing lean mass does not help the situation. The faster you go, the more lean mass you will lose. Go slow and take breaks is the key. Most people go crazy overeating on the breaks, which just negates some of the work that was done because they gain fat much faster than muscle while in a surplus, especially after dieting too fast and losing lean mass unnecessarily.
I dont know were to begin to tell u how happy I am that I came across your channel! You always go in depth with your answers with research to back it up and its geard for both men and women! :) Keep up the great channel Jeremy! You've gained a new follower
Jeremy, I have an important question, does our metabolism adapts faster when we increase or decrease our calorie. I'm asking this to see if my theory of having a cheat day could actually prevent weight plateaus
Hey Jeremy, love the videos. What do you think of those huge cheat days that youtubers do? Do they help in anyway or are they very harmful when you're dieting?
the before and after at 5:11 is an inspirational story! I am so glad you lost all that weight! you were borderline morbidly obese and I am so proud of you for staying in the fight and finally achieving your goals!
