I literally ate 4 nuggets off my toddler’s plate a couple of days ago because he wouldn’t eat them and I went to add them to my calorie tracker and about died when I saw that those 4 little nuggets were almost 270 calories!!! I didn’t even eat them because I was hungry I was just being a tightwad because the Tyson chicken nuggets are expensive and I didn’t want them to “go to waste” 😭

i never understood the “starvation mode thing” i use to eat 2 meals a day and i got all the way down to 180lbs from 270. people just talk rubbish honestly, good video 🫶

Best video i seens in long long time going to watch again thanks

You always have the best info!!

Great video! ❤

That was an eye-opener! Thanks for the video man 💪

Your content is a lifesaver and easy to follow. Thank you so much your the best ❤

Great video! I did want to check out the study that you mentioned about the 1200 calories but I didn't see it in the description.

My strategy is making a weekly calorie budget. That is, taking your daily calorie goal and multiplying by 7. And you still have a daily goal but keep track of over and under calories. For instance, one day you go 200 under, you have just "banked" 200 calories. Next day you go 200 over and you draw it from that bank. Or... you go over 200 calories for a day any you have a -200 deficit. The next day you eat 200 calories less, or 100 less over 2 days. Each day I keep track of how my weekly calorie budget depletes as well as if the amount of banked or deficit calories. If I have banked calories at the end of the week, they are discarded and I start clean the next day. If I have a deficit, that is carried over to the next week so I can kill that deficit. But as it turns out, I bank quite a few calories during the week and end up using some, but not all at the end of the week. Down 70 pounds so far.

I'm actually very frustrated because yeah I'm slowly losing weight, but I'm STARVING. I can't stop thinking of food. If I happen to eat just one extra slice of bread the calories go to hell 😭 I'm so tired 😭

I love❤ your videos! This is going to help me tremendously!!!!

Such a great video ❤

He is one of the best. Need more videos on skinny fat real solutions.

I really like your content, i would like to see a video on PCOS :)

Love this! I checked the description box but don’t see the guide for tracking macros correctly.

Yeaaaah. I’ve lost 40 lbs and I’m 20 lbs away from my goal still. I feel like I’ve plateaued and my weight is just not going down anymore. It sucks to exercise and eat well and nothing happens. Guess I just gotta lock in and really pay attention to my habits and what I eat. It feels like I’m so close but still so far

Thanks for all your great videos, super helpful!!! Just a question about starvation mode, I thought it refers to slowed metabolic rate and therefore resistance to losing fat, which means you would still lose fat but at a slower rate than if body was not in that state. Correct me if i'm wrong. Great videos keep it up!!

Excellent video! I'm so grateful KZfaq recommended this to me. I'm not sure if other people struggle with this, But even an on a calorie deficit eating high mounts of protein, my body has a tendency to put on muscle so the scale stays the same. The clothes fit better and my body looks better so I'm happy about that. But I really want to lose 15 more pounds of fat. I'm eating low sugar, no refined carbs, Healthy fats and high fiber. I'm in perimenoause. Any advice? I'd like to do more exercise but then I'm just hungrier and put on more muscle so that doesn't seem to work.

Thank god someone talking truth ❤

For me, the effort of tracking calories is enough that I won't do it for more than a day or two. I always have to spend 15-20 minutes trying to figure out how many calories the thing I just ate was, only for it to be just a rough estimate anyways.

As someone who has been on EVERY diet out there, including a full forty day water only fast where I lost fifty pounds, and out of all of my research throughout the years and decades, I feel as though I'm fully qualified to speak on this topic. Everything he mentioned in this video is COMPLETELY ACCURATE! We grossly underestimate the amount of food we eat because of POOR tracking and measuring of our food, even down to the tablespoon. And as the most caloric and fat dense foods are often small, such as: candy bars, snack cakes, chips, SODAS, the need or want rather for seed oils and butters as well, we set ourselves up for failure on Day 1. Even on Keto/Carnivore, there are SO MANY people led down the wrong road when they are told that they can eat as much as they want, which is kind of a lie, and I'll tell you why. Those on Low Carb diets foolishly think that the quick weight loss is fat, when it is in fact WATER. That's why, when those who are low carb resume normal eating habits, the rush of carbs and sodium blows them up like a balloon, and oftentimes, they gain more weight back, due to the excessive calories they have eaten all along. For every one part sodium you consume, three parts water follow. In the absence of carb intake on Keto/Carnivore, your blood glucose levels fall, which flushes your body of sodium, causing a diuretic effect, causing your body to release all of that excess water we tend to carry. And that is why people usually experience that first week or two of fast weight loss. Depending on how their bodies hold onto excess water and their salt intake, eliminating carbs will "dry you out" and you will look less puffy. Bodybuilders when cutting weight in a contest prep also reduce their carbs the closer they get to contest time, as they want to have a grainy look that compliments their efforts during this process. Personally, I have found that most sustainable way to lose weight and keep it off, especially if you are insulin resistant, is to follow a PSMF or Protein Sparing Modified Fast, which is High Protein, Low Carb AND Low Fat IF you have an abundance of fat to lose. The Low Fat part of this protocol is what largely separates it from Keto/Carnivore. That, and the fact that this protocol largely prioritizes Protein in High Amounts, unlike True Keto, where it prioritizes High Fat, Low to Moderate Protein, and Very Low Carbs. A good book I found that explains this diet best is The Dukan Diet by Dr. Dukan, a French doctor. I got a copy from the library. You cannot escape Cause and Effect. If you want True Fat Loss and not Water Weight Loss that will ultimately send you into a depression when you so quickly gain the weight back because of the weight loss being mainly water, then the NUMBER ONE principle you need to keep front of mind is CALORIES IN, CALORIES OUT. A High Protein, Low Carb and Low Fat Diet is your best route to a lean body that is from ACTUAL FAT LOSS through a caloric deficit, and your will maintain your muscle mass while cutting fat by prioritizing High Protein over any other macronutrients. A typical day would include: .7-1lb of protein for every pound of body weight you have, though some use their ideal body weight to multiply their protein needs by. Next, you are allowed around 30 grams of fat and 10 grams of carbs, I believe. and aside from two tablespoons of oat bran in the morning for fiber, perhaps in some low fat, low sugar, high protein yogurt, such as Triple Zero Chobani yogurt.......one cup btw, the only carbs you will have are fibrous carbs like broccoli and leafy green veggies only. NO STARCHY CARBS!!! You don't have to be dogmatic about it though. Just try to be as close to these numbers as you can. In fact, if you are Keto/Carnivore, you can alternate between PSMF and keto/carnivore every three days, as PSMF will be lower calorie days and keto/carnivore are higher calorie days. And like he said in this video, it's about calories in, calories out. Good Luck.

Thanks

What is your opinion on diet apps that have an option to subtract your calorie burned after an excercise. Is that helpful or not?

Thanks 👍

From personal experience, 1200 calories is eating disorder territory.

Do we count the grams before or after it’s cooked? Lol you literally addressed this question a few seconds after I commented this 🤣

He speaks the most facts and it’s funny lol

thank you for helping the fight against the "starvation mode pseudo-science negationist" bullshit

My calorie goal is 2200 on your calculator so should i eat that much to loss fat or should i eat like 1600 calories to be in a deficit

So i need to be eating in a 500 calorie deficit per day to lose 1 pound per week. So many people say do NOT take into account your calorie burn per day. But Im hungry if I only go by calories in. So is it ok to take into account daily burn?? Hope that makes sense!! And thanks for all your videos. Love your helpful and simplified instruction.

2:29 so true i now rely on checking my weight daily as feedback

I feel like im eating all the right things and not overeating, trying to increase my protein intake everyday and when I calculate it, I eat around 1000-1200 calories per day. But isn’t it weird that I dont feel hungry as often eventho Im on deficit?

I feel like this video was made to call specifically me and my bad habits out

Perfect

Im sorry, you could have cleaned your scale and got a better marker! Dang! 😂 Otherwise great video! Thank you!

Fabulous video. Exactly how I went from 234 to 165 at 57 years old. The only thing I would add is accurately calculate your maintenance calorie needs. As you loose weight this will go down.

I don't think it's possible to eat 1200 calories only and not lose weight and 2 minutes into the video I think I figured out where this is going.

48 hour extended fasting needed

What if the snacking falls in your calories deficit

This is one of the best videos for weight/fat loss I have ever seen (and I’ve prob watched thousands). My question is. My scale says I’m 51% body fat. So when I look at some of these TDEE calcs and they don’t take into acct my high body fat (I’m 245 lbs) and they say to be eating like 1900 cal. No way am I going to lose weight on that. What say you?

I'm not sure I should be eating 1200. I'm 42, 5'6". 205-206lbs. Dealing with insomnia, medication withdrawal and a painful old leg injury. I take antidepressants. The Fitbit tells me that I burn on average 2700 a day and do about 7000 steps a day on average... I don't think I'm that active but that might be my own skewed neurodivergent brain. I walk, cycle, swim, do a physical job for 15 hours and I see a trainer for HIIT once a week. The other problem is that I have a low appetite. I don't know If I should restrict my calories to 1200, 1500, 1700 or 2200. I'm also looking at low carb/low GI because my blood sugar has always dropped even when I was thin. Any suggestions?

Don't forget to lift weights while being in a deficit. Activate some muscle growth! You too women, don't be afraid to lift weights!!!! Also. Huge side note. Make sure your eating calories that contribute to healthy cell function /atp production. Get off the processed sugar. Eat whole foods. (things that come out of the ground), lean cuts of meat. If you can go organic, grass fed, pasture raised then great. If not, don't sweat it. Just stay away from the highly processed refined carbs and sugars. Those, are absolutely garbage to our health. Not every calorie is the same just because it's 4 calories per gram of sugar, not all sugar acts equally within the body. This knowledge should be more wide spread. I could go on and on why calories aren't the problem and why the KIND of calories we put into our body are, but I won't.

OMG, I love your videos!!! You are the first influencer that hasn’t told me to “increase my calories, you’re in starvation mode”!! 😅I’m a small 63 yo 5’2” 120 lb woman with hypothyroidism. I am VERY strict with my calorie counting, weigh and measure everything!! Is it ok that I can’t have over 1,100 calories per day? I really should be at 110-115 lbs but cannot get under 120 for some reason. I do ‘moderate’ weights at home and get at least 8,000 steps per day.

I ve lost so much weight through 20k steps a day

1200 seems a little low

I stopped smoothies, oats, milk, pasta high carb meals. You have to be at least 500 cal deficit to loose, evidence suggests theres no starvation mode 😢

👏👏

Ok when eating 300 calories a day only and not losing weight wouldn’t it be a metabolism issue? This is tracked btw!!!

Man 1200 cal a day would destroy me.

Im small.. 1100 is my BMR 😞

So im eating like 3400cals on workout days 3100 cals on rest days, my work out consist of 3days of weight hit cardio and 2days of weight lifting I get anywhere between 6-10 thousand steps a day macros are 300g protein 280-300 g carbs and 114g fats and those get lower on rest day. Not seeing a whole lot of change on the scale. My clothes do feel looser and just from looking in the mirror I can see more muscle in my arms and less fat on my thighs more muscle in my leg, but I want that gut fat to leave I’m wondering if I should drop my calories and macros more, any tips?

Great video. I’ve been in menopause for 21 years and I have hypothyroidism. CICO works when I do it. I’ve never counted calories and been in a deficit and it didn’t work.

Eating 1000 cal I. did not

Frustrating to me that i rarely stay below 3000 kals a day 1200 is my breakfast

If you're eating 1200 cal a day, even if you just lolling about all day, unless you're a pygmy you will lose weight. And you know that.

1:27 makes sense street kids are skinny

I drop .5 pounds a day ... Then I'll get stuck a few days and it starts dropping again

I did 1300 calories a day and i lost 20 lbs and hit the wall and didn't budge for a couple a weeks so I upped my calories to 1500 and made sure I hit my 200g protein I just shifted another 8lbs in 2 weeks I'm also doing 3 days a week at the Gym guys hit your protein requirement try fish and eggs they are low calorie and high protein.

I’m sorry. Grams is a unit of measurement for mass. Weight is force = mass * g(accelaration due to gravity). Only reason why it’s interchangeable is because gravity is relatively the same here on earth. But please you can measure in ounces, just convert to * 28.5 grams. Dunning krueger effect at its finest. Also, how the fuck can you say a person is not eating 1200 calories when people are tracking 1200 calories - we learn in primary school how to conduct basic experiments and when you don’t have any control and make everything variable, how the fuck you can disprove what you’re claiming is right and/or disprove what eating 1200 calories does not do. I am not mad, either this is clickbait or just a huge gap in establishing fundamental factors. Either way, this video did not say anything except for “people that tracks calories are wrongly tracking their calories”

The fat you eat is the fat you wear

Calories don’t make you fat. If you want to lose weight, eat whatever you want, just keep fat under 10 grams per day. Thank me later.

Repent for your sins. Reciveve salvation that christ Jesus crucified on the cross for us. Create a relationship with our heavenly Father and seek faith. Pray and read your bible consistently please.
