1. Not eating enough protein. Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair. Most bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts need to consume 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. 2. Not eating enough carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts who are trying to lose weight may need to reduce their carbohydrate intake, but they should still make sure to get enough carbohydrates to fuel their workouts. 3. Not eating enough vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should make sure to include plenty of vegetables and fruits in their diets. 4. Eating too much processed food. Processed food is often high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and sodium. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should avoid processed food as much as possible. 5. Drinking too much alcohol. Alcohol can dehydrate the body and lead to weight gain. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should limit their alcohol intake. 6. Skipping breakfast. Skipping breakfast can lead to overeating later in the day. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should make sure to eat breakfast every day. 7. Not tracking their calories. Tracking calories can help bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts to make sure that they are eating the right amount of food to reach their goals. 8. Not being patient. It takes time to build muscle and lose fat. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should be patient and not expect to see results overnight. 9. Not listening to their bodies. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should listen to their bodies and eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. 10. Giving up. Bodybuilding and fitness is a journey, not a destination. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should not give up on their goals, even if they experience setbacks along the way. The host also discusses some additional tips for avoiding these nutrition mistakes, such as: - Planning your meals in advance. This can help you to make sure that you are eating the right foods and the right amount of food. - Cooking at home more often. This can help you to control the ingredients in your food and avoid processed food. - Reading food labels carefully. This can help you to make informed choices about the foods that you eat. - Making small changes to your diet over time. This can be more sustainable than making drastic changes all at once. - Finding a support system. Having people to support you can help you to stay on track with your goals.

I just love this dude. He’s the single best brain of bodybuilding on you tube

Years of experience and Knowledge unlike many so called experts on RU-vid

Wish I could’ve heard all this when I was competing in 80s . These videos are better than any Ted-talks I’ve ever seen! Keep bringing it Jerry!!

Great content, Jerry. Thank you, as always, for sharing so many years of experience and research. Much respect to you.

Always a good source of real information, GREAT stuff 👍

Great info Jerry. I appreciate your wisdom and love your old body building stories/training regimes of past practitioners of the iron game. I'm 80 years old now still working out with light weights;every time I listen to you I still learn. Thanks again.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you for the post!

Jerry is back... Awesome 💪

This was great commentary! Insightful and actually had me cracking up at some parts 🤣 Thank you for sharing your wisdom

Just discovered this channel! Info is spot on! I’ve been a victim of the low fat craze of the 70’s and 80’s! Not good. Also keto for 2 years lost muscle and hard to get the essential micros and electrolytes! I have a tendency toward OCD

Keep dropping 🔥. Very informative!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge jerry

Awesome 👏 video! Thanks 🙏

Great stuff. I found better results also with at least 4cups or more of vegetables daily. I usually take my fruits in a smoothie post workout. But your absolutely correct on everything you’ve said. You verified so many things I found early in my late start into bodybuilding. Thanks again.

Tremendous video!👍Thanks!👍

This guy is the Best on RU-vid. Thank you for all the information.

JERRY is the BEST for nutrition/training advice!!!!

Outstanding video

Great advice as always

Just discovered Jerry’s channel this weekend and it is a Godsend! Great intel and he tells it in an easy to understand manner!!! Awesome!

Great information. Thanks.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Your videos are great.

This man is amazing. I heard his name in years gone by. But its so good to hear his wealth of knowledge..

Broccoli is terrible for your digestion, it's one of the biggest reason alot of bodybuilder have digestive issues now, we eat a lot of food bad for the digestion

Very informative videos

Great info I remember Jerry from Venice Golds.

this is jerry at his best great content

"Anyone can anoint themselves an expert." Lol So true

Jerry is very knowledgeable and gives good advice. The majority of RU-vid nutritional bodybuilding advice is Garbage.

This encourages me to workout more. In the same manner, the Jon Andersen Channel inspires me to be a beast in bodybuilding.

I know almost everything he is talking about. It's GREAT INFORMATION, though. Thank you for bringing those things up to the table.

awesome video

Jerry is super knowledgeable. Amazing!

Jerry...I found you addressed my question about diabetes type 2 in your Aug. 30, 2016 video...Thanks so much !!

Jerry is amazing 👏

Love you Jerry, a great guy very funny and a bodybuilding genius and guru, thanks for these great videos my friend, I trust everything you say

Thanks a lot, I'm in my first month back on the grind, 20% body fat currently, eating more or less 1700 calories a day, doing cardio every other day

Educational , Great Tutorial! Knowledge is power, prevent stupidity and lies, Thank you for your amazing knowledge and talent! Greetings from Singapore 🌹🌹🌹 Edith, a happy Subscriber

JERRY REALLY KNOWS ! HE HAS LIVED THROUGH IT ! RESPECT !

Absolute legend 🎉🎉🎉

Wow - probably the best info on diet I've heard from anyone. Thank you Jerry!

Brilliant

Jerry’s the man. No bs real intel

Great video. Yeah, it's unbelievable the extreme calorie deficits people put themselves in when cutting. Most of the time, a gradual 20%-30% deficit is more than enough.

first of all I want to make this clear,the body doesnt want muscle,why because it is a big energy consumer,your body only wants to keep the lights on

love it 😅

This man is a national treasure❤

Also, something i would add is not consuming enough seafood and/or nuts. The most common nutrient deficiencies are magnesium, zinc and like you mentioned omega 3's (EPA & DHA), so seafood and nuts have most of these nutrients.

This is great info definitely when he got to the fear of fat! Eat good fatty meat(grassfedribeyes!!) along with fish .lobster,oysters salmon.some veg. And local Maine blueberries,raspberries w/real oats for later prebedtime meal sometimes. great advice on the keto definitely go less on the carbs!!

Yes great video. Seems like most people don't understand "the intestines are the gate to the world for your body" ❤

Time-Stamps would be helpful too

I love Jerry

wow, improved by diet plan instantly but will have to test it

Thank you Jerry Brainum - my workouts are better and thank you for your knowledge

Great channel i almost thought about a keto diet today but realized I’m eating just fine why do I feel the need to constantly change my eating well I know why now, I’m fact I’ve always known by just looking amd laying attention to my body but I still look elsewhere ????

Have done every type of plan, from Jerry and others with little to no change. But a modified carnivore/keto plan I've dropped weight while being able to maintain muscle. Jerry no doubt very smart, but people are different and complex.

Have been watching Jerry for a few years now and always find the information from the original O.B. ( Oldskool Bodybuilder ) excellent without any BS , keep it coming Jerry, thank you once again !!!!!

22:30 min ... I love the way how Jerry can imitate other people! 😂

لا تحرمنا من. 🎊مقاطعك الحلوة 🍯🥰.

Building muscle is all about eating lots of good food and all out effort in the gym. You must have both! One without the other is a complete waste of time.

Laird Hamilton puts out a product called SuperFood it's a coffee creamer that has avocado oil, coconut oil, red palm oil and something called amorind. But it's all good fats fats that you need. he's 58 years old and he's still surfing 70 ft waves.

Big Lenny says he drinks 5-6 gallons of water per day - seems excessive. Thoughts?

You don't lose fat be removing carbs, it's all calories. You can lose fat eating anything

i ate a edible and have no idea what jerry is talking about lets go brandon

👍👌 content

What is your take on DHEA?

ive only ever listened to Gerry and john meadows .

They call it "rabbit starvation" when you eat only rabbit. Rabbit doesn't have enough fat to sustain humans. You die from protein poisoning when eating only rabbit & no other fat sources. People in the past have actually died thinking they were eating meat so they had enough fat with that.

Mr. Brainum, i lift 4 to 5 days a week. I was @ 263lbs in Nov. of 2021 and would regularly bench 315lbs, by March of 2022 i dropped down to 237lbs & can barely bench 315lbs & struggle with any kind of weight I was able to when I was heavier. My question is : Is losing strength the same as losing muscle? ( I lost weight by doing more cardio & changing my calorie intake.)

It’s an average for use as an example. You have to use something as a baseline when your asking about these things. “Beware of all generalizations. Including this one”

Where can I get lemon mertle ,sir?

Old dude knows his shit,, I like this, would like to see more,,,and doesn't protein from meats feed bad bacteria in gut,, so you wanna try to get it from different sources,,, gut health is the most important thing

How much sulforaphate would you recommend one gets a day?

What about type 2 diabetics who must limit carbs ? I watched you on Ric Drasin channel...I miss Ric.

To all those keyboard-warrior skeptics who say you don't look like a bodybuilder any more than Woody Allen does, please explain when you competed and in what events, to gain some street cred in bodybuilding, as a former practitioner.

I want to make this perfectly clear to people right now,the body isnt concerned about movement only about survival

I once tried losing weight with fruit smoothies and it did not work

Finally, an expert that talks about how your body will turn on the starvation mode. People like Coach Greg act like this doesn’t exist.

Ranulph Fiennes is the explorer who ended up having a heart attack from too high a fat diet

If meat is the only protein source i use , and i lift , How much meat (kg )should i consume per day if i weight 160 pounds ?

The Basal Metabolic Rate figures in the beginning of the video are very low, granted he said he was just guessing. A 35 y/o 6'-3" man at 205lbs would be 1950 cal. Even a 35 y/o 5'-4" 115lbs woman is 1202 cal. This is a base metabolic rate from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation.

11:50

Eventually found the right answers that is "2.2grams of protein " under normal conditions and "3.3 grams of protein" while dieting. Long live Jerry....

1 gram of protein per pound 1 serving of my Avent protein = 25g If I weigh 225 pounds I would have to have 9 shakes a day. In all honesty that sounds like a bit much...

If I saw you in a diner, I'd order an 'EGG-WHITE OMELET', just to see your reaction. Then change it to scrambled eggs.

you claim you cant spot reduce but you claim you reduce systematically

With all due respect I have to disagree with the old school saying of: you need to lose maximum 3 pounds a week. You haven’t taken I to consideration the persons weight. An overweight person can lose easily 5-6 pounds a week

It’s myo myo myostatin!!!!!!!’ Gotta get myo….statin words of Mr Blechman

There's a big difference between a weight loss diet and a fat loss diet.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Amy bodybuilders on Carnivore diet?🏋

Wasn’t that guy known as the great constipatior

Jerry have you done any videos on raw honey?

you cant eat too many calories eating too fast....all your calories should be set for every meal prior to eating

Carbohydrates and protien together. Are more anabolic then the workout itself Go listen to Andy Gelpin the premier scientist on muscle growth. This guy is good but he is only a lifter

I have a problem that i have a hard time keeping my fat on. I work as a plumber, and i do a lot of movement during the day, and i train 5 days a week but only one group of muscle a day, usually for 34 to 40 minutes a day (5 days a week). I do intermittent fasting and i eat primarely meat ( mostly sheep), , i don't consume normally processed carbohydrates, sugar, processed oils( sunflower ) and ready made processed food. I do almost daily eat fish oil, extra virgin olive oli and coconut oil( sometimes) I have a good phisique and I feel very healthy but i feel like I have to always overeat in order not to loose fat ( i don't have a belly and i can barely see abs but at this weight and fat level i feel the best, when I get to lose fat i don't feel like i have the same energy and especially strength).
