    "Can you sustain this for the rest of your life?" - "probably not".... that's the most generous 'probably' there has EVER been. You COULD sustain this for the rest of your life, given that it would probably kill you within a year.

    Thank you. I've been in a dieting period for about 12 weeks now. I've been struggling very much these last three weeks with issues in mood swings and struggling to keep the deficit going. I've been doing this thinking that "lifestyle" changes are forever. I think incorporating a fundamental understanding of "diet breaks" wherein maintenance energy intake is really going to help me with continuing.
    Been eating at a 500k deficit now for 60 days and it's been wrecking my mental state. Just trying to eat and be healthier in life. A 5'4" F weighing in at 97.5kg isn't healthy long term. Am now down about 10% to 85kg. I feel proud but after listening to this you've encouraged me to pace myself and take a break

    • @TheTMschannel
      @TheTMschannel Před rokem +4

      I hope you're enjoying the break, and I hope you didn't get hit too hard by the rebound hunger (because in my experience, that is worse than the diet hunger).
      Renaissance Periodization also has a great video on prolonged fatloss, that mention a lot of the same stuff, but also some additional things, about how long to maintain etc.
      Best of luck

      Start fasting. The more you do, the more you can do.
      It's very effective up to a point.
      Be easy on yourself too, while watching what you eat.

    Takes me about 6-8 weeks of increased work and calorie restriction to reach it and then I just try and stay consistent with exercise and go back to maintenance. So good.

    I've always found the two steps forward, one step back approach works best. Linear progress over a long period of time is not sustainable. I go hard with a calorie deficit for about 2 or 3 weeks, then go back to maintenance or a little above for a few days to reset. Then its back to the grind and progress picks back up again.

    Some good ideas here: Losing a percentage of total bodyweight per week as opposed to a number (1% per week vs 2lbs per week) and the idea of taking diet breaks once you've lost 10% of your total bodyweight for 1/3 to 1/2 the time it took to lose it before resuming your diet.

    Very good information. I went too low in calories for my show and lost to much muscle. I didn't include diet breaks in fear that I wouldn't come in lean enough. I even spilled over in my peak week carb load. I got lucky and won my division in over 60, only due to weak competition. I'm going to incorporate more of your dietary techniques for my next show.

    Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom.
    I was not going to watch your video because I am 2 decades older than you and thought, sure this would help a person in there twenties but not a 50 year old.
    But then I quickly pressed play and watched the video several times.
    WOW! Thank you Jesus for this young man and his wisdom 😀😌🙏🏼.
    For those who think I’m being dramatic.
    I’m 5”11 and weighed 128 Ilbs majority of my life. I reached 289 Ilbs with no clue of how or why I was gaining weight within 3 years.
    I began to work out at home doing over 450 squats a day etc. and eating less and less but using more olive oil (too much) everyday.
    I ate salmon, tuna or boiled in water and rinsed ground beef only and loads of spinach, tons of almonds, pecans and walnuts per week.
    And I must not forget my daily ginger, lemon and cinnamon tea.
    I thought I had it all figured out until I ended up in so much pain and found myself in emergency at the hospital. and being prepped for surgery few days later.
    I am now home recovering from surgery.
    I stressed my body, took on too much and didn’t have a clue of what I was doing to my mind and body.
    My Dr. and Surgeon insist I leave the weights alone for a while. Two dietitians agreed I know the right food to eat but my oil and nut intake was too much.
    And they insist sleeping only 2 hrs. per night for over 3 years was a problem as well.
    I’ve been out of the hospital for 11 days. I have lost 10 pounds.
    I’m not trying to lose weight now but I have lost 10 pounds pretty quickly.
    As you see, I really need your program.
    I can’t thank you enough!

    I recently did my first cut (or first diet of any kind) ever, and because I was kind of tentative about it (and probably overestimated my maintenance calories), I only lost 8 pounds in 12 weeks (starting from 167 pounds and about 20% body fat). It actually made a dramatic difference in my appearance, though. I was going to follow Mike Israetel's advice - deficit phase for 6 or 8 up to 12 weeks maximum followed by a maintenance period of equal length - but ended up in a deficit for 12 weeks but maintenance of only 10 weeks (still longer than your standard, which would have been 4-6 weeks at maintenance). Then I started phase 2 of my cut, this time less tentatively with a solid 500 calorie daily deficit, and I've lost 8 more pounds in 6 weeks, bringing me down to 151. If I continue for another 6 weeks (up to Dr. Mike's 12 week max), I could end up at 143! That's insane. I didn't think there was that much of me to lose. But this is an adventure. One thing Dr. Mike recommends is that, when you go back to maintenance, since you really don't know what this is - and it could have gotten lower as you lost weight - you only go up halfway from deficit to estimated maintenance, weigh yourself in the mornings for about a week and see if you're going up, down or sideways. If down, go up another quarter of the way for a week - in other words, feel your way to maintenance rather than just going right to it. I've got six weeks to go. If during that time, I lose all the rest of my weight and actually just disappear, please tell my wife and my girlfriend what happened to me, because they might worry. Or not.

      When u try to maintain, go slow adding calories and keep protein high. Your muscles might be waiting for fuel and building blocks and its better to have them fill out than gain fat if you go too high for a bit on calories. Don't freak on water weight gain at first too. Give it 3 weeks each calorie raise to see if your weight holds after you get glycogen and water back in the muscles.

    Doing a couple weeks maintenance then back to a steep cut for a another 2 phases before the end of the year, it’s so much easier than doing a slight deficit for 6 months …

That's not to say there won't be any muscle loss at all, but it'll be comparable to the loss you'd expect from longer term cutting as well

    Here are the key points:
    Mistake 1: Crash dieting The youtuber lost 25kg in 20 weeks, which is an unhealthy rate of weight loss. He recommends losing 10% of your body weight per dieting phase.
    Mistake 2: Restricting carbs He cut out all carbs and replaced them with almonds and eggs. This made it difficult to train and resulted in muscle loss. He recommends eating carbs to fuel your workouts.
    Mistake 3: Not taking diet breaks He didn't take any breaks from dieting, which can lead to stress and burnout. He recommends taking a diet break after each dieting phase.

    Not me watching Eugene's videos and hittin Ganbaru while also munching on TJ's cinnamon letter cookies and a pbj sandwich..... :D Guess it's time to get serious before the Year ends even though the occasional crisps are too good to pass up....

    Excellent! Well thought-out and articulate as always, but most importantly: practical and actionable.
    IMO sleep considerations should be included. Especially for natural lifters, significant sleep reductions have been shown to quite drastically decrease the amount of fat lost and increase the amount of LBM lost during calorie deficits. One study even showed that a mere 90min a day less in bed reduced the total proportion of weight lost as fat, even when sleep was ad-lib'd on the weekends.
    Sliiightly nitpicky detail: you don't *need* carbs for muscle preservation, as if you eat enough protein your body will eventually adapt via gluconeogenesis and turn protein into glycogen. Not relevant for most and far from ideal though obviously, and more difficult to do properly in a cutting phase without muscle loss. I think a real keto diet is almost flat-out impossible to supply glycogen. Has some utility for endurance athletes, but not for muscle or strength building.
