In summary: (1) Decide what sort of physique you're aiming for To build muscle and reduce fat: (2) Scheduled, pre-planned, resistance training, with good form, adequate rest, and progressive overload to build muscle (increase training stimulus over time). Aim to hit each muscle 2x per week. Stick to basic exercises, be consistent, and start your workout with the most energy-intensive exercise (3) Eat healthily. Avoid processed foods; seek colourful ones. Remain mindful of why this matters (to fuel a long and fulfilling life). Prioritise protein intake to optimise muscle-building: if you're quite lean, aim for 1g protein/lb of body mass per day; less is necessary for people with higher body fat %. In practice, it can be simpler to aim for 30-40g per meal. Don't fear fats: they won't singlehandedly make you fat, and serve important physiological functions. Favour complex over simple carbs (4) If you start with a higher body fat %, muscle growth may be less immediately visible. To lose fat, eat in a calorie deficit. To reduce daily calorie intake it could help to (i) maintain comfortable daily eating patters but generate a deficit with cardio, and/or (ii) cut down on ingoing carbs (5) Other important things: get enough sleep to maintain energy levels and facilitate muscle synthesis, and take rest days. Persist! Delayed gratification is a rewarding challenge. Focus on your own goals over external beauty standards

plus to the 4., to lose fat you can eat the same amount but exercise more intense - meaning -> you have to burn more calories than you eat so you can be a calorie deficit in this way too (and not only with eating less)

You are the reason I ditched one-off KZfaq workouts and over doing the cardio. I started appreciating whole foods and lifting weights. Slowly but surely, my opinions on my body have changed and I appreciate now what it can achieve. Thank you Angel❤️

Is it bad to have a basic workout routine (leg day -Monday, upper body -Tuesday etc) but switch up the workouts every time? I just do a different KZfaq workout that aligns with the muscle groups for that day but each workout video is always 30 minutes…

@@harperk1111there is no need to switch up workouts each muscle group day. If you do the same set of exercises for each muscle group but do more sets or heavier weights over time then you should see some good results.

That last bit is so important - It’s hard to remember that it takes a very long time (a few months to even a few years depending on the specific goals) to get to where you want to be, but once that time comes you suddenly realize you’ve finally reached your goal, which is why it’s major key to be consistent even if it feels like your progress is stuck

remember this! For most people it has taken them years to get into horrible shape. It is much quicker getting into shape then it has taken to get out of shape. Within 90 days one can expect amazing results. Not necessarily their dream body but certainly a positive start.

I lift weights I lift heavy too, but I do not track protein or calories or fat (macros) doing that made me so overly obsessed with food and it became toxic. I hope someone can relate to this bc I feel so alone! But ever since I stopped tracking overall In general I’m happier I eat healthy and unhealthy sometimes and I’m happy! Tracking made me feel absolutely insane

@GAINSBYBRAINS Жыл бұрын

I don’t track either❤️ But I am grateful for the knowledge it got me as I now am aware of what I am actually eating in terms of macros. I can use that to make healthy choices & that works perfect for me! But the actual tracking process was too intense after a while for me personally

@karenac670 Жыл бұрын

@@GAINSBYBRAINS yes same!!!💜❤️‍🔥 I first started going to the gym, but what year and six months ago. I went because I wanted to get bigger, glutes, bigger, arms, and bigger legs, overall, which meant I needed to eat a surplus, I tried for a year to eat in a surplus, and it became so toxic and so overwhelming for me to the point where I was puking up food because I would force it down my throat just a hit my protein goal for the day….. so I can become “sim thick” bc that’s what everyone around me was telling me to do. My friends would always tell me that lifting heavy weights and eating a lot of food will give me a better body because I will be more of that slim thick physique, so I just started doing that. For the longest time! I’ve always been one to listen to people and honestly I feel like that’s just not a good idea… now I’m not tracking anything and I’m just working out to just work out and move my body and stay healthy. I don’t want to bulk and I don’t want to lose weight I’m just doing whatever.

You need to do what makes you happy! After a while you realise naturally if you reach roughly your protein (like if you have often breakfast with oat, lunch with chicken, snack protein shake, dinner with an other source of protein = you reached it!)

(Which Ik I won’t be hitting my protein goal if I don’t force myself to eat and track)…. But that’s okay, I’m going to do Pilates 2/3 days a week and go to the gym 2/3 days a week instead of crazy heavy lifting 5 days a week and eating 130 grams of protein a day forcing food down my throat just so I can be “slim thick” and get bigger glutes

@aimeechas 9 ай бұрын

I think you solved something for me. I worked out 5 days a week for a complete year - lifted heavy, majorly hard regime but did it without fail - didn't miss a single day. I was so unhappy with the "after" photo - felt I should've looked different after a year - but you've hit the nail on the head - at that point I should've gotten strict with my diet to see those results. So I'm starting again - I'm going to compare myself from now, to one year from now to 2 years from now. LOVE your channel and so happy I found it!

11:11 Adding on to what you were saying, I've found that a more accurate protein rule is 1g of protein per LEAN pound of body mass. This is especially helpful for women who naturally have higher body fat percentages than men. The 1g per pound works great for body builders who are already sub 10%, but the average lifter doesn't quite need that much.

@mamenamamena Жыл бұрын

Everybody forgets to mention the LEAN part. I mean, why would somebody who is 100 lb overweight need 100g extra protein? It makes zero sense. Why do influencers keep forgetting to mention this important nuance

@MadisonWestfield Жыл бұрын

How do you know your lean mass? I’m struggling to eat my whole ass body weight in protein. It seems like ssooooooo much!

@tn15_ Жыл бұрын

@@MadisonWestfield Simplest way I'd recommend is to get a bioimpedance scale (body fat scale), use it regularly maybe every morning and night for a couple weeks (since the bf% number will change based on hydration) then take an average of your results. Every method of measurement will have a margin of error, but this will likely get you within a few percentage points of your true body composition.

@Amarmi579 Жыл бұрын

Paul Revelia (you can find him here on YT) recommends to consume your healthy goal weight as the number of grams of protein that you should eat for a healthy weight loss, let's say your goal weight as 5'4 female is 130lbs, then you eat 130 grams of protein 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you really, really, want to learn how many calories, macros you need to lose fat and maintain, build muscle, you have to make a little research, I strongly recommend his channel, I learned how to do it using one of Sophie's guide 3 years ago but you have to take your time to read it, understand it, and do some math. Paul makes it easier though.
