The Diet Habits that Built my Physique (Do's and Don'ts) 

Yo friends! I didn't mention in the video but for those who have been waiting for PUSH Android release, it's here 👉 play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ADPTVLTD.push Also, there's chapters in the video for anyone who wants to skip around and just watch the parts they're interested in. Thanks fellas & gals (a.k.a. 99.99987% fellas and about 1 gal) xx

As an American, I’m pretty sure the air I breathe has 30g of sugar😂

I doubt you’ll read this, but I really appreciate your content. I used to be over 300lbs and recently hit my goal weight of about 185-190. I’m standing at 5’11”, so it’s pretty solid for me. I’m stronger and leaner than I’ve ever been. I remember when I found your channel. I had pretty much exhausted all other RU-vid channels. They’d all turned to calorie challenges, etc. But you never strayed away from pure fitness, and nutrition content. I’ve watched every video you’ve put out ever since, and I truly think that you’re still incredibly underrated on here. With your knowledge, and my willpower, I did lose my last 50+ pounds and become who I am today. So truly, from the bottom of my heart, thanks Joe.

At a glance I thought your thumbnail said something else 😂

the matrix numbers pouring out the oatmeal absolutely killed me 😂

Diets having a name = red flag is so relatable. Also the palate abuse is top tier humor😂! Great video!

I don’t think Joe has ever changed the tone of his voice… ever…

legitimately the most insightful fitness videos on youtube, consistently for years. Joey D you're my hero.

You keep me sane, motivate me and help me strive for better everyday man, Joey D is my hero. Thank you for being you Joe.

Joe, I hope you realize that the view count isn't just a number, but that every single view is an individual that you helped. the clear and trustworthy information that you post on here is invaluable to all of us. while the rest of the internet sells clickbait and scammy courses, you are putting out the quality content all of us are seeking. I am truly grateful!

You (and Natacha Oceane) have the healthiest, most sustainable approach to health and fitness. After having consumed too much of the (borderline ED) clean-eating/orthorexic content of the 2010's, and after having spent the majority of my adult life yo-yo dieting, I'm excited to just eat, live and move consciously. I especially love the idea that my diet "shouldn't have name". sounds so fucking liberating, honestly.

Thanks Joe! All best to you. I find it very handy to eat a late breakfast or have it really simple and small like a piece of fruit, sparkling water and a small espresso. That way I feel really “clean” in my stomach in the morning. It also helps me reduce some calories throughout the whole day.

I don’t think anyone is close to putting the humanity in health and exercise like you are. Humour too. Solid channel.

I'm an older guy who found your channel a few years back. The advice you give and knowledge you share has been invaluable to me. When I first started training I was 16.5 stone of flab, very little muscle to speak of and in terrible shape. After watching countless different channels and so on I realised I wasn't getting anywhere, they were either too advanced for me, too strict or a combination of things that were just out of my reach in my current shape. Then I started watching your stuff, it was chilled, laid back, told me what I needed to know in simple terms, didn't set unobtainable goals and made me realise that I didn't have to approach it like Jeff Cavaliere, (although he's sound and gives good advice) It's been working for me, a change of eating habits happened first, nothing too crazy, still had a takeaway at the weekend, a few drinks, the odd treat, but kept training consistently, including basic cardio, just walking about, over 24 months I lost 4 stone. Then I started training a bit heavier, added more protein and put on a 1.5 stone of mostly muscle. I'd guess I'm at around 20% body fat now, so a little soft around the middle, but at 6'1" I look pretty good, especially for 48 years old, decent dad bod. More importantly, I feel 15 years younger. Cheers Joey lad, for showing me how it's done without having to get obsessive about it.

The pendulum analogy is brilliant, I've never thought of it that way before, great way to visualise the struggles people go through

Love your videos. So practical and helpful and your dry humour delights me no end.

Thanks Joe.... Have a great Sunday

That pendulum comparison is genius

Nice! I love your honest and raw tips from your journey. And your sense of humor is gold as always! :D Keep it up!

You are such a relatable, real guy! Another great video by Joe D!

I don't know why but your videos always put me in a better mood. Ty

Yesss was hoping for a new video!!! Love the app too bro thanks so much

Your vids are always packed with great info and funny at the same time. Great channel Joe :)

yet again another insightful fitness/diet video. tks Joe

Awesome stuff man! 👏

Excellent video, Joe!

I’ve watched A BUNCH of youtube “influencers” and you by far are the best..hope you have continued success.thanks

Couldn't agree more with all these points! Nailed it

Just stumbled across this channel. Refreshing. Sensible reasoning. Nothing too extreme. Really good mate.

This channel is refreshing. Like the tone.

excellent video Joe!

Love your honesty man, keep keepin it real!

Mannnn I really needed the bit about the binge/starve pendulum and momentum. Great content and appreciate the heart and self love and relaxed approach you bring towards fitness and health

Agree with most of what you said. Solid advice for people wanting to enjoy the process of living a healthy life and meeting other goals. But salt and pepper are great for making foods palatable. I agree with some people they could trigger binges or missing out on flavor. Just don't over do it. Balanced spices/salt enchance natural flavors. I grapple and box and the benfit of adding extra salt here and there also helps my endurance, performace & recovery. awesome video, great perspective.

Pure quality content, charisma, sarcasm, wit, and dry humour... All make for a top notch video... Lesson's learned, the end. As always thanks for the content, the editing and video creation is spot on. Give yourself a pat on the back.

First video experience of yours. I can tell you’re a fair, conscientious, self aware, sceptical sort of bloke. Props.

Always top tier video Joey D is my hero ❤

Nice video dude very insightful and helpful content. Real talk 👊

Great vid Joey. I've arrived at similar principles after lifting for a decade. One of the things I like about your channel v other fitness RU-vidrs, is that you get the gym/life balance right. You have a sick physique but it doesn't seem to demand anything from the rest of your life. These people arranging their whole life around lifting weights make me cringe

New subscriber here, your humour and straight forward delivery of valuable content sold me. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

I didn't really understand the point you were making but the formula at 5:39 really made it clear, thanks Joey D

Lad your humour is so dry, I love it. Appreciate the information you provide with the ‘No BS’ approach. A lot of RU-vidr’s are promoting stuff and will just push that through lies wrapped up as factual information. You’re a good guy

Joe your voice is so refreshing

Promoting balance and realistic expectations. Love it.

Best video I’ve come across for ages - I’m gonna subscribe. Was class

That pendulum swinging analogy was great, resonates with me as I always try to overcompensate after a bad day

I love this man's content

Great video as always 👍

Joe you have the best takes man. Thanks

You spitting wisdom here mate. I couldnt agree more to the point about the flavour palette (in my family we didnt used salt due to parents health issue, so i can relate to that) and what you said about going off-track. I just want to say that life has its ups and downs, eat and do shit from time to time and dont regret it if it made you feel happy and as long as you exrcise you are better, physically at least, from the majority of the population. Cheers!

Great great video so much information. Thanks Joe 🦾

Joey lad just in the process of buying your program this week man 👌

Excellent video mate

Wow, what a great video! Thanks for the insights

love your dry humour joe 😄😄 as always, another great vid !

you just gain a subscriber with your real talk, good stuff mate!

You are incredible. Thank you for being an inspiration ⭐️

Thanks for the video our hero very informative and interesting

Only found this channel a couple months back and wish I’d found it sooner! The only RU-vid channel that doesn’t make me cringe by telling me I need to optimise everything I do, just wanna be happy and healthy mate 😂

Joe Delaney is my hero

I find your videos delightful; the combination of the deep Mancunian accent with good information is unbeatable!

Quality information. Thanks man!

Love your combination of genuine, realistic advice and dry humor 😂The jokes alone are worth a watch.

Love this brother!

Don't stop making videos, we are all on various aspects of our journey and your videos help. Like right now, I'm in that swing phase after cutting and getting my dream Physique, I'm struggling to maintain it and not be miserable and hungry and everything that comes with being lean. This video, helped me a little to evaluate things.

So cool to see Joey's subscriber number go through the roof. Careening towards 600k

Most honest review of health and fitness.

joe delaney is my hero

I respect this vid! Good stuff

Great easy video to follow. Thanks

Great video thank you. Totally agree about going to bed satiated and how that means you can sleep longer. Also the diet pendulum - When was trying to get really lean I would eat too little and then fall off the wagon so badly, eating like a madman because I was literally starving. I learned not to berate myself and to eat more food in the first place so I don't get like that.

Dang!! Your advice are massive! Thank you and I love you man

Great video! Such an informative and hilarious individual you are

Mate the analogies you give us are insanely smart! second video I Stumbled Upon of yours and I will subscribe! I like the way you think

Gosh I love that dry humor of yours Joe! 😂👍🏻

Shout out to Joey D for keeping his original channel original and on point continuously with up to date educational and realistic gym related information. Im getting a bit tired of the others diverting their channels from gym related information to just party vlogs or house renovations.

Great video! Subscribed and liked

Brilliant video brilliant guy 🙌

keeps it real. Rock on Joey

Always appreciate your no-bullshit man 🙌

Excellent tips!

Love the vids, super insightful and no bullshit 🙌🏽. Are you able to make a video about trying to bulk on a vegetarian diet?

Dude you literally started the same time as me and did the actual cut at the same age lol been lifting for almost 19 years this summer as I started at 15 as well. Everything you said about maximizing the physique and it could’ve been better is spot on.

Just discovered you. Love your delivery. New sub

Very good points.

Sound advice as always from Joey D.

What a guy, great video Joe 🙌 talks a lot of sense...and in this industry common sense isn't that common 🙌

Pendulum analogy is awesome!

Your buff bro great dedication 👍💪✌️

Dude, you are really funny and honest, i love the style of the video

I LOVE U JOEEEEE

Annnnd instant sub!

Had to laugh several times throughout the video (of course not loud, cause I'm by myself and that would be weird). Joe Delaney is my hero!

Love your content 😍

Good video Joseph

Joey awesome video. Poignant and relevant point you make at the end about pressures to compete with other "questionably natty" influencers (we all know who they are). Stay true to what you're doing mate, show the naysayers that juicing to the gills is a stupid decision and really unneseccary if you're prepared to put the time and work in.

😂😂😂, great video, thanks for this! Especially explaining the binge starve cycle. First time I heard it explained like that 💪

4:53 Is why i keep coming back to your vids, quality info with humor that genuinley makes me laugh out loud

brother, you have no idea how much I laugh watching at your videos. It is nice to see there are people that enjoy this travel in the same way I do. Great humor and self irony

Legend.
