Targeting Belly Fat - Controlling Sugar Cravings - Fasted Workouts - Q&A 

You my motivation bro i need to get this weight off for my kids

I prefer fasted workouts, I feel if I eat before a workout it’ll make me sick! Thanks for these videos they help a lot!

"Being fat is hardwork" bars......Brix Fitness.... We think working out is hard, just being fat socially is much harder...im trying to drop from 300lbs right now. you can always stop a workout anytime, but u can't stop being fat if you don't try....

My biggest hurdles are: junk food (sweets, fried/fast food), pop, carbs, and getting to bed at a decent hour. But I like watching your vids.

Brix I love your videos brother! Keep doing what you do!

I relapsed back into old habits but I'm back at it

You’re spot on about losing body / belly fat. 👍🏽👍🏽

Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

You’re a constant inspiration. Watching from work on a Saturday, did well with my meals and work outs this week. I always end up binging on the weekends, so far, so good today. Keep on inspiring. Thanks.

Your videos are the most helpful ones around fitness topic.

You’re honestly amazing bro, wishing great health and success for you and your family 💪🏽👍🏽

Thanks for having such an optimistic outlook on weightloss for us man like I was at 302 lbs and I lost 50 lbs just from taking advice from you I gained some back but the grind is real brotha thanks for all your help 🤙😃

Great video. Top notch like always. I appreciate your blogs and videos. They help me stay on track. The constant reminder not to sweat the little things and to stay consistent are such a huge help!! There are days when I’m tired and am dragging my but. I hear you say “just make it though the door of the gym”. Not every work is going to be a complete 10. Another one of your great quotes. Sure enough tired but at the gym, though the door my work out starts slow, as my body finds energy. my mind gives way to the clutter of the day. I start focusing on making this rep count. Grabbing the 10 on this exercise. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for your support and help. We are listening!

This is a really cool segment in your series of videos. There's a lot of good and useful information here for all of us to apply. I feel like every time I have it all figured out I hit a fork in the road that reminds me of how much I don't know. Your videos are always there to help me when in that situation. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.

What's good king. I just wanted to say your amazing and your content is fire. Thank you. Stay blessed

I was addicted to Mountain Dew & Sprite for years. I tried everything to give it up. Expect seltzer water. I use flavored seltzer water ( not sparkling water because it’s too sweet to me now) to curb my taste for fizzy drinks. I lost my first 10 lbs when I gave it up.

Hey Brixx.. Haven't been on RU-vid in a while. Had to log on and get my inspiration and motivation from the squad channel. 💪💪 thanks

Happy Sunday Brix from New Zealand just at the gym watching your vid 👍👍👍

#BrixSquad 🐐

You're the best!

Enjoy your videos very down earth. Now for me this the nutrition my need to heal. 2 cups Collar greens. 1/2 cup odf mushrooms, 1 cup of berries, 1 whole orange, pumpkin seed, walnuts, and onion. I suffered a stroke 13 weeks ago. Working on running.

Actually abs are formed when you’re not in the kitchen 🤷🏽‍♀️fasting is the BEST!!!!

Thanks!!!

Ayyee thanks

You're inspirational indeed

Three questions that I feel like would be really good info for everyone! Do you take preworkout and when? Also what’s your best tips to not get lose skin while trying to lose a significant amount of weight? Big fan!

Good One! 💯👍🏾

Everytime I get on track i start getting back into bad habits again 😤 glad you made this one bro!

8:50 - love you explanation. I'm fighting to get rid of my moobs and i realize that it comes down to being an a caloric deficit, now IF is help also. i dropped 20 and like you said, you cant control where you lose the weight! My upper half didn't change 1 bit. Now i dropped 3 inches in my pants and my previous big butt has all but disappeared!

Bro....I honestly remember when you had less than 10K Subs....please keep pushing bro 💪🏽

I've been saying forever I dont go by the scale I go by how I look and feel and I'm very in tune with my body . I can see when I've dropped body fat in a number of places I care more about how I look and feel .

I fell in love with working out and found success with " Making a plan/schedule and sticking to it, and working out with someone which made it fun". And like Nike says... Just do it😎👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brix, thanks for the tips brother, I am 299lbs and 5'9, watching your vids has motivated me to kick my backside into gear. I started doing the 4 exercises you suggested in one of your video. I will keep you posted on how I go, the date is 5/11/19, I will let you know how I am going by the end of the month. Thanks for all your great work. Much luv from Australia

I love fasting before going to the gym. I feel that i don't eat as much. We just need to live a healthy life ❤. Thank u for this video!

visuals done stepped up

According to Thomas delaur and the studies he reads you can spot reduce in a fasted state. In a fasted state the area That is being worked on the most will burn faster

Since 6 months ago I have been a subscriber and repeated watcher of your vids. Because of this you have motivated me to [at the age of 66] to get in shape. I am 35 lbs lighter and actually have muscle definition and I feel amazing. Just like you said it's all about diet and exercise. I want the Brix 6 pack and the upper bod muscle so I have a while to go. I just want to say Thank you so much. You are an awesome motivator!

Brix looks good. Watching from London England.

Running and jogging for 2hrs 5days a week made me loose weight and now am in the gym getting stronger.

Thats truth on that. Control your environment. I’m 80 percent out the house. One thing that sticks to me what you said. Don’t not drink your calories!

Good info

Tbh I've controlled my sugar cravings now it's just the going to the gym cravings I need to get😭😭

Your advice is realistic.

Good vid!

You’ve motivated me to lose weight and go on a diet cheers! Just want more muscle than fat on me which I got mixtures

Hes right about the scale .it can make ur day or break ur day ditch the scale use measurements. Calories in check. Nutrition 1st. Fast even healthy calories count

For me, fasted workouts work best for me!

Where Cami at? Been here since 10,000 , we deserve to know 💯💯💯

Hey Brix..I appreciate not only your message but your delivery bro keep it up. So I was an ectomorph for the majority of my life, always skinny and athletic (play a lot of basketball). Once I got married and had children I got the "dad bod" going on! I just purchased your 12 week transformation program and I'm starting tomorrow. My question is do I still classify myself as an ectomorph even though I feel like a endomorph lol?..my limbs are still pretty skinny but chest and mid section are round lol...Thanks in advance and I hope to update you with before and after pictures after the 12 weeks.

What's the best times to go to the gym for your body to flow through with the weight loss? Morning noon or night

I use to be a big believer you have to train in a fed state to avoid fatigue, muscle breakdown etc.. Man was I wrong... 2 years now training fasted 😁

Wish I could train with you brix

Soo modest ❤️

I did 4 weeks of boot camp (weight training in boot camp) and I have now signed up for 8 more weeks. The key is consistency. I have changed my diet, I eat at a caloric deficit and I do my best to drink a gallon of water everyday. Most days I can only drink a half gallon. I feel the difference, but you are so right about the scale. As you say it takes time. What do you mean in 4-5 months a person should start to see a difference? I might need to chill with the peanut butter...yikes.

TRACK YR CLOTHES AND THE WAY THAT THEY FIT...FACTS 😁😁😁 U WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE WEIGHT LOSS ...TRUST THE PROCESS ...BRIX WHAT UP!!! RA SUPREME!!!

Can you explain the calories you gotta burn to lose weight, and calories to gain muscle. Which do we choose?

What workouts are best if you have a high or elevated resting heart rate?

Get well, get money. 🥰🤗

If you were to stop training. How long would it take before you started to notice the loss of muscle definition? Thanks for all your help BTW.

After losing weight for so long and when you're ready to transition to muscle building, do you continue to workout in a fasted state or do you switch to working out in a fed state while still doing IF?

I'm on day 225 of my fat loss fitness journey. I started at 345 lbs. Of course crap diet didn't help at all. I've lost 128 lbs so far. I'm 217 lbs. I want to get to 200 lbs. My question is how might I get rid of the extra skin at my lower abdomin. Will my body absorb it after time.

Your mind is powerful... and one thing to overcome is your minds idea that you need carbs at all, or veggies/grains etc. at all. Check out the new book "The carnivore code"... it might open your eyes and mind... but it is scary...

Yo brix what type of camera do you use ?

can you build muscle only using body weight exercises and/or light dumbbells?

I also have belly fat I want to get rid of because I want to play football next year

Hey Brix. I am 6'3 and lost 11lbs in the past 2months I'm now 280. I broke my foot in '05. I've had 6surgeries and my foot is fused(it doesn't bend and it swells and is painful all the time) could u do a vid of core&leg exercises since squatting and running is not an option?.

Since starting the plant based diet...which would you recommend now? Meat or no meat? Also, Where is Bravo, Cami, and the kids? I miss seeing those vlogs

Greetings My Goal To Climb Mt Kilimanjaro What Kind Of Work Out Plan Should I Part Take In I really need to get in Shape I'm Out of Shape,However I'm Willing to do Everything to Accomplish This Goal. Congratulations!!!! On Your Transformation!!!! You Look Like A Black Egyptian God!!! I Hope You See This💙💛🖤🤍💜🤎❤🧡💚🖤🌍

It fits best for my lifestyle to work out late evenings(around 7:30/8pm). I try to do intermittent fasting but if I do 12-8 I tend to be hungry or get cravings when I leave the gym. Would intermittent fasting still be efficient if I did an 2-10 eating schedule?

So nobody is going to talk about this man's studio equipment

From the thumbnail I though it was demetrious Johnson LOL

Bro what happened to the hair man 😁. It fits you and I got the same cut. Except I'm scared of letting it grow back and seeing grey hair. Stay cool.

New studies show you can spot reduce by working out while fasted

Hey I'm 250 and 5'8, trying to get to 210/215 in 3-4 months . I just started working on the intermittent fasting and am working on a 1800-2000 calorie diet and have been working out consistently for about a month for 5-6 days a week . How many calories should I burn while I'm in the gym?

What are your thoughts on lifting weights with the (pin weights) idk what they are called but I'm guessing Hammer Strength? Please answer I'm ready to go to the free weight area

What do I do

Hello my is Regina iam also on my weight path i lost over 100pds got a job was feeling great got fire due a lieing coworkers I got depressed about losing my job fell back in old ways I watched from time to time you do inspire me to get back on the bandwagon and I'm in my journey and my path and you know like I realize it's it's a mind over matter and having that support team which I really don't have continuously have a support team in my weight journey but I have to educate myself on how to eat even though I was successful in losing 100 pounds eating you know eating healthy eating more healthier I should say and I just got to implement that bad and any suggestions and I watch you all the time the different interviews you do what other people I'm just at a crossroad like a fork in a row like I just have to go all the way and I can watch that video with you when talking about timberland the the artist and it's a mind thing you know instead of trying to get to the end of the race you got to start from the beginning and no concentrate so much on you know how you going to get there how fast you're going to get there you know and build a support team around you so you can stay on your way Pat thank you

What if you have a shitty diet but still in a caloric deficit?

Keto diet..... Your have to deplete sugar before it can start burning fat..... Cut out sugar and carbs for at least two weeks, to a month.

I got a question. In order to loose weight you say you need to be in a calorie deficit (Of course with eating healthy), burning more calories then you take in. So, how do you know how many calories you're burning throughout the day? I'm very active. I work out 6 days a week early in the mornings. My goal is to get more cut up but, I'm having trouble getting rid if this last layer of fat. I'm just starting to fast but I dont know how to determine how many calories I would be burning throughout the day. Can you help?

I’m 50 years old will my age make it harder to lose fat? I’m intermittent fasting drinking plenty of water weight training and walking.... do I need to take supplements?

Do you think using jello packs to switch up the flav of your protein shake ( my lazy way, and it tastes bomb every time!)🤤 is “healthy”. My friend pissed me off talking about jello being bad for you, it’s plastic... blah blah blah. I’m thinking coming from a duet of fast food and losing 50 pounds thus far with 10 to go.. a lil jello to my protein shake ain’t gonna kill me 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️❤️

I quit drinking and I quit cigarettes but eating a healthy diet is my kryptonite.

Yo brix I paid for your book but never received a receipt or the book

I think Im getting used to the new look now....lol

My guy
