I can’t name any supplements that help weight loss but what helped me lose weight was drinking a cup of water before every meal, cooking the majority of my meals, swapping candy/chocolate for fruit. I’m down 40 pounds
Hey, if you’re a chocolate lover like me, you can totally eat a block of 100% cacao dark chocolate everyday. Like single ingredient dark chocolate from the baking aisle. Delicious and bitter. Incredibly good for you. Rich in antioxidants and copper and it’s a great source of stearic acid, which is about the healthiest saturated fat on the planet. It’s been directly correlated with fat loss, in fact
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer I bought some of that by mistake once as a youngster, I thought it was just a big block of chocolate...it's been a while, but my memory of it was extremely unpalatable. Maybe I should try a nibble again.
@@aaronscott1991as yeah, but obviously that’s not a supplement, and it’s hard to find. I wish there were still sources for it in the US, but I haven’t found anything, even on the deep web or dark web
I think the reason people are overeating is a combination of a few factors. 1.) Lower Fiber in food. (That's part of the whole ultra palatable thing) We're eating refined carbs with ZERO of the fiber that would naturally Blunt the blood sugar spike you'd see in people. That spike feels AMAZING. Part of why we love sweets so much. Any Diabetic will tell you that when your blood sugar plummets, you get UNBELIVABLY hungry and weak. 2.) We focus too much on calories over Satiety. Sure, you can lose weight eating 1500 calories in chocolate... but the question is how hungry will you be if you ate 1500cal of chocolate vs steak and broccoli? 3.) Overly simplistic advice from doctors. Losing weight is 100% about calories in calories out... but you need to go deeper. If you don't, it's like saying "Yeah, the titanic wouldn't have sunk if it just avoided the iceburg." That's where doctors are at. They don't go into WHY these people are hungry all the time. WHY they're overeating. Eat slowly, eat more fat and protein and a bit of fiber if that helps and you'll find yourself FAR better off in most cases weight wise than before. Less hunger = Less eating. There's an index for Satiety fulfilling foods. Assuming you're eating foods that satiate easy and eating them slowly so your body can process that you've eaten, You shouldn't have as much hunger and dieting will be easier. Doctors need to start treating obesity like they do addiction. First step is to limit access. Then treat the source of the cravings for the object of addictions. Doctors are doing step 1 without step 2 HUNGER is the problem. Not the foods themselves. Hence why things like Ozempic work so well. Get rid of the hunger, and people naturally fall into a pretty healthy line. TL;DR: The reason obesity is on the rise is because we eat more food that is less filling and more calorie dense. When losing weight, we focus too much on the numbers over how the filling the food we eat is. When we DO get advice from doctors, it's overly simplistic a lot of the time and ignores the difficulty in dealing with hunger. Doctors see the forest but miss the trees when advising patients on weight loss. Just taking this advice, I've lost 12lbs this month alone. And hunger has BARELY gone beyond being peckish at any time. Hell, one day, I had to force myself to eat more on 500cal of soup. That's all I ate that day until I was right before bed and went "Uh... that's probably not a good idea..." and whipped myself up some leftover steak bites that pushed me to 1200. Eat slow (we're talking one bowl over a few hours). Eat nutritious foods that are high on some satiety index. And keep some diet soda on hand if you want sweets. Bam. Suddenly, weight loss won't be so hard. I can even have junk food too. A bit of ice cream before bed is perfectly manageable when you've only eaten 1000 calories that day and don't feel hungry. Just keep it before bed. The blood sugar spike from sweets and snacks tends to lead to a crash of epic proportions that you want to be asleep for. Assuming you do that right, you won't be hungry when you wake up.
RU-vid wouldn't exist and therefore you wouldn't be able to spew your rubbish in this comment section if it wasn't for infrastructure that made food widely accessible to everyone in a first world country.
@@demetter7936 totally not my point. Sedentary lifestyle and highly palatable foods delivered to your door is not progressing our health in the correct direction.
@@demetter7936true. We are also 60% overweight and 40% obese. We have more symptom treatment pharmaceuticals than ever before. Ozempic is literally meant to combat overeating.
People fail at dieting because: - it can be too restrictive - it's a lot of work - fast food tastes incredible & is cheaper & less work - food deserts exist - people don't see results right away/ they plateau - bad foods taste amazing - portion control is really hard - people don't enjoy/ drink water
@@HomeshighlandPark A diet doesn't mean you have to eat "healthy food". I lost 25kg eating processed carbs and very little protein, I just tracked my calories.
@@thisguy2989 Look, just because _you & I can_ cook a whole lot more than warm toast & boiled water does *not* mean that others are that lucky! 🤣🤣 A whole bunch of people absolutely crave & love the fast food's balance of: salt, sugar, fat ratio. If they didn't than, how else do we explain that multibillion dollar industry? Food deserts, desperation, lack of personal time to buy, prep & learn to cook? (You know, THIS has got to be one of _thee most_ depressing comments that I've ever written & posted! I've been on RU-vid for well _over_ a decade. The whole fast food industry *is* disgusting, predatory & monstrous. *sigh)
Excellent timing on this video. I just finished a maintenance cycle and back on fat loss. My meal plans for fat loss is very similar to maintenance - just cut out the drinking and junk on weekends. I went from fat loss, to maintenance, and now back to fat loss. Was dreading it a bit, but now that I'm back in it, seems easy.
I’m taking tirzepatide from a peptide site. It doesn’t curb my appetite like they say it does, but I’m only taking 3 mg/week shot. I will say, I’ve continued the exact identical low carb diet that I was running before, and I IMMEDIATELY within the first week saw facial bloating go away. FOR ME, my typically chubbier cheeks have gone away and I look more chiseled. Around my waist and shoulders, just more definition, more exaggerated “v-line” near obliques and lower abs. I’m only on week 2, just took my second shot a few days ago. For full context, I’m 5’10”, probably 11.5% body fat, 180 lbs, naturally a mesomorph but have low carb dieted myself down to an endomorph look. I’m trying to get to 7-8% body fat, then slowly build muscle by eating a few hundred calories above maintenance over time. I never want to be fat again.
Unrivaled in what? The reasons bodybuilders take it isnt how much more calories it burns but the anti catabolic effect and the beta agonism. If you talk about pure fatburning then its absolutely not unrivaled. Clenbuterol burns much more fat in itself and then you have hardcore fatburners like DNP. These can have serious adverse health effects though. And ephedrine is not legal anymore in most western countries. Im sure you mean synephrine.
@@scottstorchfanephedrine is still available otc. Asthma medicines like broncaide and primatene tablets have ephedrine. Ephedrine sold as a weight loss supp is illegal but you can ask for the asthma meds at the phrama counter. 20 mg ephedrine + 200 caffine works great for appetite suppression and energy maintenance in a calorie deficit.
@@scottstorchfan it’s effective purely because it’s extremely efficacious insofar as blunting appetite, resulting in a caloric deficit. As a fat burner, the stack is not so great, but it’s the appetite suppression that makes it work. No, ephedrine is not banned in western countries. I bought some at Rite Aid yesterday, in fact. In New York. You have to ask the pharmacist for it and show ID, but it’s perfectly legal to purchase if you’re of age. It’s banned as a *supplement*, not as a medicine. Nice profile pic, by the way. That album’s a banger 👍
@scottstorchfan I thought ephedra was no longer otc. I'm here looking for anything for energy.. I am already on testosterone from a dr. I have next to no energy and desperate. Any tips plz. 40 year old male.
About 3.5 months ago I decided to just start trying to lose weight. Always been a bit bigger, but never what someone would call fat. But after having two kids and being too sedentary, I saw 240 (6'0-6'1) on the scale and said, "Fuck that." All I've done is walk 3 miles at least 3 times a week and try to eat around 1600 calories, but definitely trying to stay under 2000. Went to unsweet tea, zero calorie sugars and sodas, that powder protein peanut butter, the low calorie ice creams, etc. Lost about 25 pounds so far and I'll start strength-training in the next week or so. I had the epiphany last week that losing weight isn't hard, it's just a lie that people tell themselves. It's not hard to spend an hour or two a day, at least three or four times a week to work out. It's not hard to cut out and/or down the things that're too high in calories in your day to day life. It's not hard to cook at home more and incorporate more protein in your life. It's not hard to tell yourself, "No, I'm not going to eat that," or, "No, I'm not going to be a lazy bum and not go for a walk." None of it's hard, it's just not in our routine. And it's not like it has to be forever. My plan is, generally, to get to ~180 and continue working out to offset me being more frivolous in how I eat, while maintaining not being a glutenous degenerate every day. I just want to be able to be in good shape for my family, while also not being miserable by excluding foods I enjoy from my life (and marrying a hispanic, it's not a choice). Also, one of the things me and my wife have discussed is that we're not allowing our children to develop bad habits while they're young, to save them the anguish in the future. I was a really active kid, playing sports every fall and spring, running 25 miles every semester in middle school for PE, I swam in our pool constantly and ran around the yard, etc. But I'd eat like a typical teenager, and didn't slow down enough later when I was less active. So it's my responsibility as a parent to be a benevolent tyrant and not let my kids gorge themselves on food, and take the brunt of tantrums now, so when they're in their 20's and 30's, they can look back and thank me for disciplining them. Just my two thoughts. I have no real interest in the rabbit hole that are supplements and shit, all I take is a multi-vitamin, B12, and Magnesium. It's too complicated for me, I don't care enough, and I don't have any friends that're nerds in that realm.
Back in the day my mom and all her friends were super sprung on fen-fen, phen-phen? Whatever. They loved it. Were super pissed when they made it illegal. And they did all immediately put on a decent amount of weight.
Keto is great if you actually plan for healthy foods. So many people eat absolute garbage on keto, excessive bacon and oils and shit because it’s actually hard to eat a diverse range of whole unprocessed foods and stay keto
Once you realize that you can buy 240 cups worth of instant coffee for 10 bucks and u can put as much as you want in 1 cup of water. That is when you will unlock true weight loss
It helps tremendously to be naturally lean. That way you can just lift heavy weight consistently - if you're predominantly fast-twitch muscle fiber - and focus on SIT/HIIT conditioning. The LAST thing anyone wants to do is obsess over or focus on food and dieting. That's NOT the "fun" or "satisfying" part of training!! The focus should be on strength training and conditioning, which leads to BETTER aesthetics (well-developed and well-defined muscularity). Are supplements needed if you eat for well-balanced nutrition and fuel? No. Should Ozempic, and it's derivatives, be used as a weight loss or conditioning (fat loss) supplement INSTEAD of just doing the work? No. It's supposed to be used for obesity, due to a FORMAL DIAGNOSIS of diabetes.
Really enjoy mike but he just hardcore promotes the use of the anorectic drugs. Like why can’t we take a deeper dive into the natural ways to build up will power and to lose weight
Green tea and L carnitine have been show to have little to no impact on metabolism or weight loss unless the argument is consuming fluids reduces the amount of food/calories you consume. A balanced diet has just as much of an impact vs a low carb diet the exception is that for many people when they actually monitor carb intake it reduces a lot of junk/foods with high saturated fats and high sugar content.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmerica it’s not. It’s highly addictive, too. Not worth using in any context outside of medical. Which, I think medical usage is very rare nowadays, but must still be a thing if it’s schedule II 🤷
@@BUFFALO_cougar_slayer it is better with less side effects. Agree it shouldn't be used but would be better than DNP. I know people here who have been growing, processing and using it for 30+ yrs. They are thin, strong and healthier than other average public here in Colombia.
Why do so many people fail in their diets? That's easy. Because our culture is designed to make us fat, that's why. Obesity/overweight is not an individual problem; it's a cultural problem. If a couple of people are overweight, that's on them. But most of us are overweight/obese; that means it's a cultural problem, not an individual problem. That's on all of us. Corporations are getting rich off of making us all eat too much and exercise too little. Food corporations and drug corporations are fueling each other's profit margins. Look into this. It's true. We need to deal with obesity the same way we deal with smoking: laws that chip away a little at a time, over the course of decades. Regulate serving sizes of soda. Tax sugar. Require school lunches to contain tasty vegetables. Ban candy advertising during children's shows. Ban single family house zoning (to encourage walking). Etc. Do it over a few decades. In a generation, we will see everyone become normal weight again.
@@julietardos5044 counterpoint: plenty of non obese societies with access to fast and junk food. See Japan, Vietnam. You’re correct on culture, but off the mark that it’s the corporations.
@@Jombozeus Every country in the world, except France, is seeing increases in obesity. Yes, including Japan and Vietnam. Japan's obesity rate is still low, because it started lower than everyone else, but it is climbing. Plus, there's less sugar in Japanese fast food than everywhere else. Like KFC's Japanese cole slaw has very little sugar, while American KFC's cole slaw is like dessert salad. What is France doing right? I don't know. One thing I know they do is hire actual chefs to plan and oversee school lunches so that the meals are both nutritious and tasty.
Yeah he mentioned that. It's just a stimulant and if you've ever taken it you know the second you come off it (and you have to come off it due to your body getting used to it and the horrible side effects) your hunger rebounds in an INSANE way. Been there done that. Just another way to yo yo weight loss that isn't sustainable.
@@KatyWithAWhyyyI see this supplement is super underrated, I assume it’s also because it’s pretty expensive, but I’ve had amazing results with 7-keto-dhea, 0 side effects
I diet at 2200-2700 cals a day depending on how big a deficit I’m going for. So it’s pretty easy to get a meal to be around 800-1000 cals at Taco Bell. 3 hard tacos is only 510 cals.
People in the 50’s did not go to eat out all the time and eat trash food like they do now. Plus they did not have charge cards to constantly charge to eat out. People are lazier now, and do not want to make the effort to actually prepare food. This guy has to many excuses for people to not eat properly.
I mean if you just google image him the first thing that comes up is pics of him at 5-6% bodyfat. Are bodybuilders only allowed to talk about diets while they’re on one? Lol
@@HaydenHolcomb334 He is willing to wholeheartedly voice his ignorance and... he pumps himself full of drugs. So, understandably, I question his every word.
This guy needs to wear a shirt with sleeves. He is a poor example for people are should be eating better food and food filled with horrible sugar and chemicals.
