    I this video I tried to lose 10 pounds of body fat in 50 days...and overachieved. This year has been a tough one for my health, and I have slowly been gaining weight as time has gone on. Until one day I realized that I had a lot of extra body fat, and needed to make a change. So I set out to burn 10 pounds of body fat in just 50 days, and hopefully figure out what I was doing wrong that caused me to gain so much weight.
    Have a great week guys! Cheers.

      Sir I am not a personal trainer or a doctor. The reason why you don't have the body type in the fitness and health level you want cuz that's what you're planning about is because you do not trained with weights. You don't need to lift heavy you need to lift continuously for high reps even if you're just curling 10 lbs do sets of 30 to 50 at least five rounds. U need weights u r overcomplicating trying to invent the wheel and you're doing so much that you're actually being lazy to your body

      Here's the trick: kcal deficit.
      I like to powerlift. I gain weight during the bulking phase; I lose weight during the cutting phase. There is no magic to it. Actually, you do not even need to do sports or fitness. The only way to lose weight is by being for 4-8 weeks, say, some -10 % less of your daily kcal maintenance level. -10 % is pretty common in bodybuilding, as it helps you to stick to it longer. Do you plan to gain weight in order to gain muscle faster? Then eat +10 % of your daily kcal maintenance level. Easy as pie, if you track your food. Sports, fitness, etc., only help you with the kcal deficit (and to build up muscle improve your cardiovascular system), but technically, weight loss is about kcal deficit.
      In case it helps someone. Do this:
      - Track your food daily for 4 weeks using apps like Cronometer. Yes, it can be annoying. But after 4 weeks, you see the progress better, and you get a better feeling for kcal levels.
      - Do you not know your kcal maintenance level? Check your weight for 2 weeks. Is your weight more or less stable? Then this is your kcal maintenance level.
      - You can keep all the sweets, cheeseburgers, and cake in the world, but keep an eye on your daily kcal level. That's it. No need for sports.
      - If you are new to sports, do not start with jogging, as jogging is the hardest. Do walking (like 10,000 steps per day while watching a TV show or listening to a podcast in the park). Better: go straight for weights. Google for "upper body/lower body plan" or "push/pull/legs plan", with exercise examples. Weights also help build more strength and muscle.
      - Shame, vanity, envy etc. are a big thing for many people. They hesitate to go to the gym because they feel unfit, fat, and whatnot. In reality, gym bros are mostly more kind and supportive than the average person. Also, they all know about the process of fitness. If you look unfit, they know how fit you will look after 1 year. Harness your ego. Give it a try. If you hesitate and have some money: buy a few dumbbells for home and start with a bench, and some body-weight-only exercises like calisthenics.
      But again, you do not need sports or fitness exercises to lose weight. Weight loss is all about your kcal deficit.
      If maybe it to here, maybe this will encourage you to lose weight: if you are obese or taking steroids, your brain is taking damage. The brain of an obese person shrinks 5-10 %. It can recover if you lose weight again, but the damage is done. It is why obese people are way more prone to Alzheimer, memory loss, by the way. Yes, gym bros with steroids: the same. It has to do with the energy management of your body. The brain is extremely energy-sensitive, actually, and it consumes the most energy of all your organs. If you body size grows, your body shuts down certain organs and functions to save energy, so to speak; it is why your libido and sexual organs eventually suffer, same as with steroids, interestingly.

      Honestly - scales are the worst measurement. Because weight can fluctuate due to water weight and muscle mass growth - not just fat.
      The best way to measure weight loss imo are actual measurements of your chest, belly and waist and simply noticing how your clothes fit.

  • @skylersloves
    @skylersloves Před 4 měsíci +482

    I haven’t finished the video yet. But the thing that sticks out to me the most about mysteriously a weight gain is that you didn’t realize how you were over eating naturally. Once you tracked your calories it became clear. It’s just hard to maintain tracking calories. Once you get the rough estimates for what a cup of cereal looks like, how much calories are in eggs ect. It can become easier to eat within your calorie range without overeating. Good luck on your fitness journey 😊

    I would put much more emphasis on Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). So day-to-day movements such as taking walks, parking further from entrances and choosing stairs over elevators etc. That makes so much difference.

    • @hannahconroy
      @hannahconroy Před 4 měsíci +16

      @74_pelicans Před 4 měsíci +15

      I mean like yeah? Burn 100 extra calories?, good work.
      I'm glad this was basically just calorie in calorie out, as 90+% is going to come from your basic state. Very little difference with exercise to the raw end result.

    • @miaomiaou_
      @miaomiaou_ Před 2 měsíci +6

      I would kindly disagree. NEAT usually makes up the least amount of calories burned in the total daily energy expenditure. You will not lose or gain much fat by taking the stairs vs the elevator (however it is still a good choice as stairs are great for mobility). Taking regular walks is the only thing you listed that would actually burn enough calories to make a noticeable difference. Increasing your movement is hardly ever a bad idea but let’s be real, walking a few hundred extra feet across the parking lot is not going to shift the scale.

    • @miaomiaou_
      @miaomiaou_ Před 2 měsíci +10

      ⁠​⁠@@hannahconroy I think you are misinterpreting what diet culture is. Diet culture is fad diets, flat tummy teas, “I’m having a cake, ooh I’m being so bad!!” etc. This video is simply healthy weight loss.
      In these modern times people find themselves needing to lose fat-what a lot of people don’t realize is that 36% of body fat is actually very high and greatly raises the risk of serious disease. Counting calories is incredibly effective for lots of people (not everyone though). Yes, it is simplistic but the physical mechanics of weight loss is quite simple. It’s the mental mechanics preventing us from living healthy lifestyles that are complex 😅

    • @Vermonstered
      @Vermonstered Před měsícem +2

      ​@@miaomiaou_​ Nonsense, NEAT is often the HIGHEST activity for the day in contrast to dedicated exercise. Roughly 30-40% of your daily expenditure comes from NEAT considered activities. Everything from twiddling your thumbs to vacuuming the house to walking after meals is considered NEAT. Directed exercise really caps out around 300-500kcal for most people per day as people aren't consistent nor can they do more than 30min of moderate exercise, if that. Anything around the house if you can stay up and off the couch more than not will generally burn more calories than that. NEAT is not to be underestimated.

  • @vincemays7599
    @vincemays7599 Před 4 měsíci +78

    I think one of the biggest takeaways is the importance of counting calories and knowing the effects of a calorie deficit and surplus. For the longest time, I was living in suspended disbelief, not counting calories because I didn’t want to know how much I ACTUALLY consumed on a daily/weekly basis. I was terrified when I downloaded my fitness pal and discovered the truth, but now, after holding myself accountable and exercising, sleeping, and eating in a 500 calorie deficit, I’m losing weight at a healthy pace and am in control of it! PLEASE, if you struggle with weight loss, get a calorie tracker and COUNT YOUR CALORIES! Don’t be afraid; it’ll help you recognize unhealthy habits and keep yourself accountable and UNDERSTAND a realistic weightloss approach. No, you CANNOT outtrain a bad diet. Take it from me- I’ve lifted for years and have developed some great muscle, but it’s covered by layers of fat from bad dieting, so please, don’t be afraid to know the numbers

    • @pressrepeat2000
      @pressrepeat2000 Před 3 měsíci +5

      You don’t need to count them, but you need to be aware that processed food like “healthy cereal” or ready made pasta sauce (which often is laden with sugar!) is extremely calorie dense. Just skipping processed food and snacks completely will lead to a calorie deficit for most people.

    Super proud of you bud! I've just been finishing the first stretch of my own weight loss journey, so I hope its fine if I share it here alongside yours :) I'm 6'1, age 28, and I had slowly climbed from 175 pounds in high school to 210 as of last month. I had some motivation from my now ex-girlfriend, but I was able to lose 10 pounds and get back under 200 in the last 30 days. I was already a fairly healthy person, but I became a lot more intentional about tracking food for the first few weeks and working out more consistently. I also used to have this fear of going to bed hungry, but I got way more comfortable with hunger and what it meant. Between the amount that I was working out, limiting my alcohol consumption to essentially zero, and the amount of protein I was consuming (lots of protein from chicken, protein shakes, protein bars), I was able to keep my body in a state where it was burning fat but mostly holding on to muscle mass. Now that I've hit my goal of 200, I'm going to aim to get down to 190 and look swole :D Anyone can do it, it mostly requires that you do the research and be intentional

      I think snacking is what is the biggest food challenge for a lot of people, including me. It's easy to eat a realistic amount when you're eating real food, it's when the other stuff comes in that it's SO easy to get derailed. I think for me, the solution is to just NOT snack between meals, making sure I eat enough to keep me satiated, and if I for some reason have a "hungry day", have something like vegetables/fruit and a protein to tide me over. It can be done with tasty food, without resorting to snack foods (which usually don't have any nutritional value as well). Another part of the key is to understand that sometimes, we need to go out for dinner or whatever, and that's OK, enjoy it, and keep going. One larger meal won't derail you.

    Great job! Thanks for the nudge. In adult life I've had a 30-lb weight range from the 120s (difficult to maintain) to 150s (easy to achieve). I'm on the way up again and feel so uncomfortable. My lower weight periods have always been associated with hours of daily intense exercise. I'm getting older and not only don't I have time for that, but my joints also are not cooperating. Still, moderate daily exercise is most definitely still a part of my life. Calorie counting has worked well for me in the past, though, and I think that's what I need to do!

    There are a lot of people in this same scenario. They eat pretty healthy and workout every week. But they gain/can't lose weight.
    1) Healthy food still has calories. If you're not tracking them accurately on a daily basis, you can still gain weight on a healthy diet.
    2) People usually overconsume on the weekends creating a surplus that undoes their whole deficit for the week. As tempting as it is, don't have too much fun Fri-Sun.
    3) People who workout tend to be surprisingly sedentary most of the day. The key is to increase your daily general activity. This means to stand more, move more, and walk a lot daily with a goal of 10-15K steps on top of lifting and formal cardio.

      Especially if you are working from home. It's crazy how little activity WFH on a computer will produce during the day compared to physically going into the city and office. Without an activity routine, that cardio surplus will be massive.

    In my experience (I have been tracking exact calories for some months by now) it's the sweets as well as soda that really pushes calorie intake up like crazy. My calorie goal is ~2000 per day while doing workouts as well as cardio and it's not a big problem until something like chocolate or non-protein chips etc. come into play. If you can stay away from those you are gonna be fine - and tracking calories and really visualizing how much calories you take in really helps in cutting that stuff down.

  • @DeathfireD
    @DeathfireD Před 4 měsíci +7

    What worked for me was eating at a calorie deficit and making sure I only snacked every other day. I paid very close attention to the serving sizes of the snacks before I dove in to eat them. I'd pull out a bowl and measure our a serving so I knew that once the bowl was empty, I was done snacking for the night. finding healthy alternatives, reducing sugar intake, increasing fiber and protein intake also helped a lot too. I was able to lose 40lbs in 5 months just by following that and walking at a brisk pace for 4 miles (1 hour) every day. I've made this a life style chance and have managed to stay at my goal weight for 4 years now.

    I think one of the things missed in this video is the importance of certain macronutrients over others (protein builds muscle, more muscle raises metabolism, raised metabolism equals more fat loss) BUT the importance of trying to have a healthy relationship with food. Those foods are not bad in and of themselves, it’s just how often and how much.

Most times we don't even account for them either because we don't think that they would add much. Tracking EVERYTHING helps tremendously with planning your food so that you can even add your snacks in! I add my snacks in first sometimes so that I have an idea of what my eating for the day will be lol. Great job!😃

    This video is great! I lost 25 lbs using my own knowledge as a health educator and another 25 lbs using Noom where I tracked my eating and tackled some psychological aspects. It was all very minor changes over time. I will say one thing not to do is to "burn" the calories from snacks/desserts. That trains your mind to think of them as "bad," which makes them even more enticing. It's better to eat mindfully, as you did unknowingly. After 2 weeks, that was when you were really craving the snacks and did the right thing in endulging moderately. If you keep fighting cravings forever, you'll eventually fall really hard off the wagon. Also, eating mindlessly was what caused you to eat snacks 4x a week.

    For budgeting calories it’s helpful to break it into a weekly calorie budget rather than a daily one. That way if you do over indulge one day you don’t need to feel like you have to burn it all off in a single workout. Simply account for the overage in the remaining days of the week.
