You cant go through life again, so enjoy it to the maximum!
Thanks Scooby :)
Don't retire. It's a mistake. Always stay fully engaged.
A 60 year old climbing a mountain while he teaches everyone about fitness and still gets to joke about the "kiddobodies" of CZcams.
What. A. Legend.
I remember watching your channel like ten years ago lol. Good to see you're still doing this!
Glad you are back
This Video is a different kind of roadrage 😂
LOL! :)
I want a show were Scooby enters a random supermarket/ food shop and start picking items and examining the labels helping us to understand whats good or bad for our bodies
Mauricio Campos Noemi i second this.
Rule of Thumb: if it has a label it is not very healthy...
I hope he does it in tight shorts
NO, thats NOT how you do it. PLEASE, make a free meal plan at CustomMealPlanner.Com and have amazon deliver all the ingredients to your house for free. THAT is how you do it! I am totally integrated with amazon fresh

I have caught myself over the last 4 days when I started my diet and there is this little Scooby voice saying it's just one more little.... then I put it down. I will not get rope a doped by food.
You’re an inspiration!
thanks!
Scooby is so right. Losing fat isn’t easy but with good nutrition and daily cardio and training you will achieve great results in due time. Be patient, it will happen. Thanks scooby the man
Scooby is hands down one of the best fitness gurus on CZcams.
Thanks!
Starts with honesty!
The thing many people dont get is that you need a negative caloric balance for the whole month. Folks who are “good” 6 days a week but then have a pizza fest that undoes their 6 days of hard work. To them, its 6 days of being good and one day of getting what “they deserve”. All their bodies hear is, “too many calories, make fat”
Awesome video, Scooby, thanks. You are the real deal, man, and a dying breed! Respect from KY, the Bluegrass state.
I strongly disagree with most of the material in this video. It simply doesn’t apply to men under 40
I've been bodybuilding for 26 years. You're def injecting something. Maybe not a lot...but something.
I disagree with you too. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t... But to judge someone’s progress based solely on the outcome is probably why you haven’t made REAL gains naturally, in your 26 years of experience.
@@thunderbirdizations real gains? Some people call me crom some people call me John Cena but most people call me mister arms. I'm just responding to his BS about fake Natty's.
I freaking love Scooby. No nonsense, all common sense approach. The verbal backhand to reality. 💪🙏
:)
I can't believe you still feel the need to justify yourself to trolls.
I have always done this, I try to pre-answer questions that I know naive people will ask.
Whenever someone becomes even mildly successful at anything in life, weak and jealous people will shame and mock to settle their own egos etc. It's perfectly natural to get it. Just remember that if you were not being mocked and shamed, you are doing something wrong.
This is the best fitness channel on CZcams/internet. Bar none
:)
I actually liked that you've recorded this while huffing and puffing from biking.
It shows that working out and staying fit is actually kind of hard... at all levels.
French people are thin, therefore French fries are good.
LOL!
"life is already difficult, don't make it more difficult" scooby is the cool uncle I never had
Its true though, why make more work for yourself?
48yr old male here. October 2018 90.5kgs. March 2019 73.5kgs. No exercise. Keto all the way, cut the carbs and sugar, and eat healthy fats. Sounds so wrong, but it works. And I have no links to try and sell anything to anyone. Man boobs and ample muffin top just about gone. Only about 3kgs to go. So many awesome keto recipes. No need to go hungry.
Congrats!! Try these keto meals! www.custommealplanner.com/fitness-meals/best-keto-meals/
you where the guy i got all my information about 10 years ago now, your a legend mate and good to see you back, much love from australia bro
Thanks!!
thank you scooby, you are a big source of inspiration for me. watching your videos maks it easier for me to keep working towards my goals. i have tried just about everything to get i shape, and the only resolt i ever hade was a loss of self esteem. four weeks ago a made a custom meal plan and the results so far makes me so motovated. keep upp the good work!
Thanks!
Best video in a long time. Still my #1 trusted source for fitness philosophy
Thanks!
60 years old and looking like that, man.. you inspire people! Keep doing what you are doing!
A hell of a lot less Natural lifters these days. Sad most people get torn away from natural lifting over time. Us natural lifters are a dying breed. 30 years for me, I might not look like a beast but its mine for life.
You will keep your gainz for decades and decades like I have
I used to be naturally lean, that was, until i was 24. Now i actually have to incorporate cardio into my plan. You're right Scoobs, one cheat encourages a habit that spirals down
I've been guilty of it and avoid the scales out of fear. Gained 5lbs in 2 weeks and can only realistically lose 1lb a week. Undid 5 weeks of work in 2 weeks. Scary. I'm back on it...
Reality finally kicked in lol.
i started lifting at 26, i always had abs , now, 6 years later it takes some cardio and nutrition to keep abs showing; never ate much, but i could eat 2,3 pizzas a day with no weight gains ; everybody has it's own fight; i had abs but also was one of the weaker kids , not much muscle mass when i started ; i know people my frame and height that never stepped inside a gym their entire life and still have more muscle mass than me ; each body has it's advantages and disadvantages
Love you Scooby
I keep snacking at work, I'm surrounded by fucking food at work! its all my responsibility/all self inflicted. I'm lean, but want visible abs and be ripped and lean.
😂😂fucking food at work man
I feel for you. I have zero self control in environments like that
If you were eating Scooby's recipes, and how much they tell you to eat, you'll be waayyy too full to even want to snack. I messed up yesterday and ate some processed carbs. I went into addiction mode. I could not satisfy the hunger. Scooby's meals are like a 12 step program for overeaters.
It's so easy to accidentally eat 500 calories a day above what you need 7 days in a row, but unbelievably hard to eat 500 calories less than you need for 7 days in a row.
The only cycle Scooby is on, is his tour bicycle 💪😁
:)
Man I've been watching your videos since 2006. I'm sure you were one of the first fitness CZcams channels ever. Keep it up Scoobs!
Those of you saying that losing fat is easy, please post a current physique video. I rest my case. The thing many people dont get is that you need a negative caloric balance for the whole month. Folks who are “good” 6 days a week but then have a pizza fest that undoes their 6 days of hard work. To them, its 6 days of being good and one day of getting what “they deserve”. All their bodies hear is, “too many calories, make fat”
it is hard, you are spot on, its always constant work..I have comparison video if you like to see here czcams.com/video/x9DN0T6LpXw/video.html your channel rocks!
I eat whatever I want and stay lean and shredded. Some peoples metabolism is just a little too good. Ive struggled with being underweight my entire life, even when ive been trying to bulk up as much kcals as I can, pizza etc, I still stay lean and shredded.
@@ZebiShredz I'm jealous, just 5 days no gym and eating pizza a whole veggie pizza lol and it showed with 2kg right in the gut..
@@offthechainfitness i hear you man, for me I always felt the opposite :/ had to force feed myself just to stay in a healthy weight :/ right now my maintenance is about 4000 kcal, and I'm not even big...
A question. I know of girls, friends of mine, whose story is - when they were younger, they ate whatever, didn't sleep enough, drank alcohol , did whatever they wanted and were MEGA skinny. And then at ONE moment - boom - it all changes and WHATEVER they do, they become "grown-up women". Fatty and unattractive. Why is that? It still feels like there is some magic going on, not only the calories math?
This video is proof that you're on a cycle
Huh?

I wish I had a place to cycle, but it's pretty flat here.

@@scooby1961 Yeah, I was just trying to be a smart ass by using a play on words. I actually love your content. Keeping it real and easy to follow. A genuine delight to see in the fitness community.
I remembered watching your videos back when I was in high school crazy how time flies! you were my inspiration and now after 10 years you still are scooby !
Thanks!!
You're a great guy. Thanks for a good vid.
You are quite welcome!! Thanks for watching.
I have been watching your videos for about 10 years or around when you first started making videos on youtube. You are very smart Scooby.
Thanks! By the way, I got a good laugh when I thought you said that you started watching me when I first FARTED on CZcams :)
Love these talks whilst biking!!
me too!
Scooby you’re a legend. Don’t ever stop being awesome
:)
Nothing is easy beyond quitting.
You're a legend Scooby. Always real and to the point! Stay healthy man
Thanks!
Since my mother got diagnosed with diabetes i started using a bike to go work 13km distance (26km a day) to keep my weight in check... That was 6 years ago and now that i have orbited to a gym i just recently found your channel
I truly love the message you're sending in this videos man,i wish i found you sooner,maybe i would have the body i wanted sooner and wouldn't fallen into the lies other people told me yet i believed in my desperation to get healthy... And maybe i would've convinced my brother that being fat is not something we're doomed to before he got a diabetic coma
While i will still go the gym(i already paid my year subscription,no refunds policy)What im trying to say here is,thank you for your hard work,i will try and mix some of the advices you gave in your older videos (wich I'll be watching religiously from now on)with my current schedule hoping to reach my goal and inspire others to get fit,specially my family
Not just for looks,but because it's fun and healthy to do something different,specially biking in this modern era where everyone is so hasty with their cars and forget to take a second to breathe and enjoy the world they're living in
Thanks!
BTW nutrition is a great way to improve your health and control your insulin levels when you have diabetes. If I had it, I would definitely be doing this meal plan custommealplanner.com/keto/
go to physical work 8-10 hour a day and you will struggle to bulk up ^
Hey man, you are great. No BS, no complicated things .
Thanks!
The ease of losing fat mainly depends on how committed you are to changing your lifestyle and what your target body fat % is. Age and genetics certainly do play a role, but they are not dominating factors for most people. Getting to 15%-20% is easily doable for most people. Getting to 11%-14% takes some more effort, but still doable - I’d recommend staying at this level if you’re 20-30. Getting to 10% or less you’ll have to work your ass off - you’re living on the edge between healthy and unhealthy at the upper end of this range. At the lower end you’d be going into a state of dysfunction just to say you have 6% body fat or whatever.
Welcome back scooby! Glad to see you're posting again!
Cant out train a bad diet is the theme here and it is correct, If you want the body you have to work for it not only in the gym but in what you eat, if you really want to be ripped and still fit without peds you have to work for it.
Yep, you get it!
Love this kind of video Scooby. This is the real deal.... fitness and health through hard work, clean eating and dedication. You are still after all these years an inspiration!
I would have never guessed in a Million Years you were 60!!! Wow! You look fabulous AND you are talking while riding a bike "UPHILL" in the RAIN!!!! DAAAAAAAAMN! You are certainly and encouragement & inspiration!!! SUBSCRIBED!!
They grow like a weed and then they smoke themselfs to get lean...
I love you scoopy
Thanks Scooby, you are one of the first guys who I looked for fitness info, finally I was inspired to start my own channel.
Agreed!!! It has taken me 5 years to grow 20 lbs of muscle while keeping 13% BF.
I learned A LOT from Mr. Scooby's Tough love advice.
Way to go!! Slow and steady gains are the best kind. You EARN them and you get to KEEP them! :)
scooby1961 Thank you sir
At 27 I find actually easy to have shredded abs but it's way harder to drop fat than it was when I was 17/18, can't imagine how hard it'll be by Scooby's age 😲
same here :D
yep, harder all the time because BMR drops with age.
@@scooby1961
What is Bmr
Not sure what they mean by live a little, looks like you're living it up! keep it up scoobs
Yes, id rather live a LOT than a little :)
Your point about amount of cardio is so true. I'm marathon training atm so constantly hungry. It's so odd to simultaneously feel fitter than I have ever been but putting on fat.
Scooby! Good to see you back. I hope life is good for you.
Glad to have YOU back m! Ive been here doing one vid a week since 2006 :)
Scooby, I really enjoyed seeing the trees and greenery in the background and sharing your cardio in a small way. It did me good too!
I’m as lean as a grasshopper. I do hiit for a total of about 20 mins a week, and workout 3-4 times with weights. I’m not a big eater. That is probably the key. When I do intermittent fasting I get so lean it’s scary.
Yep
Hey Scooby, just want to say thanks, youve helped me so much, I only found your website and channel in November but Ive already lost 20kg of fat and gained a lot of strength, Im not where I want to be yet, but all your advice has been invaluable. There is so much information out there on the internet when it comes to trying to get in shape, but Ive pretty much found everything I need on your website and most of all you offer all this knowledge for free!!!! You really are a great person and thanks again.
You came to my mind recently, good to see you’re still around.
Thanks!
You are infinite power scooby!
"vegetables are NOT a garnish" I LOL'd because folks think I'm some kind of a bird for eating so many veggies in my meals.
Its so true!
Scooby, you always make sense, darn it. I just started time restricted eating, water only between 7 pm to 7 am, following the circadian rythym. Sometimes there is a breakthrough in protocols. And this is science based. Seems to be working.
it makes me beyond happy to see you making videos again and you still have that great passion for fitness! You got me into fitness prob 14 years ago with your website!
Welcome back!
I had 4 pieces of cake and 7 beers last Saturday. Feeling good about it.
Good luck!
@@scooby1961 Im bulking you know? Making sure I get all the calories I need to put on size. Next step is start training.
Just came back to your channel after trying to get back in shape. Glad to see you're still making content. Thank you.
These types of videos (when you huff and puff and share your opinion) are my favourite ones!
Can't wrap my head around the fact that you're 60. Great video !
I embrace the fat. It just pads my muscles
Glad to see you back, Scooby!!
Thats why I do OMAD it is the simplest and most effective diet Ive discovered. Calorie counting doesnt work for 95% of the population
Correct. Having a set system, even if not OMAD makes all the difference.
I can bike all day on trail but 30 minutes on recumbent is torture. You are awesome.
I tell myself "I'll just watch 1 of Scoobies videos... what could it hurt?" Meanwhile: 1 hour & 25 calories later.
:)
Always an inspiration. Thanks Scooby.
Damn, I thought you quit CZcams! Glad you're back Scoob.
The reality is you have to choose what you want out of life.
It's fine to sacrifice your health a little, never get lean, but still lose weight -- if you are willing to close that door to yourself.
Scooby is very fortunate to have a partner in life that both supports and follows him in his nutritional and health goals. Do you think you will find someone that good?
The only certainty is that none of us can have a life style where we have anything. But there is definetly a kind of life style that is much more optimal for your health than what the average person goes through.
In the very least, I would say being educated on our choices is the real number one priority. Because man, I can't even tell people I do intermittent fasting without having at least one person in the room claiming I'm crazy.
I'm 35, eat porridge, fruit, veg and very rarely stray into mass carbs but I still have some tummy fat. I also teach Bodypump 5 times a week. I'm sooo far from a 6 pack it's unreal. I workout harder now than I did in my 20's yet in my 20's I was 6 pack galore. Age really does work against you.
I wonder if cutting way back on fat would help. Like... replace foods with high fat with filling starch. Less meat and more sweet potatoes, beans, brown rice etc. A lot of meats may be relatively low fat, but they are still much higher in fat than whole food starch. Starch (which makes you feel full because of high fiber) is less calorie dense than meat and dairy. Everybody is like... starch makes you fat. But that's not my experience at all. Unless you consider french fries and potato chips to be starch, which will in fact make a person fat, lol. It might be much harder to achieve a calorie surplus eating potatoes, rice and beans than it would be eating chicken, fish and lean cuts of beef. You still want to fill full, but you could feel full while ingesting fewer calories. Worth a try maybe.
Everything you said plus eschew liquid oils. Only fats in the whole foods are most desirable.
Great video Scooby. Wish I could have watched this last September when I decided to start another bulk that quickly got out of hand. I'm cutting again now and it never gets easy. Won't make that mistake again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Friends dont let friends bulk! Glad you got it back under control
Thanks Scooby.
Love from India. You were my first internet source about fitness that I trusted and tried to follow. You still are.
You are not alone brother, he is one of the guys who inspired me to start my own channel
AvgGuyFitness quit advertising yourself 😂
Losing fat is totally easy........ If you're riding your bike 150 miles a week, training kickboxing and eating raw fruits and vegetables, and clean meat. And fasting 48 hours at a time. xD
Veggies and fruit are poisonous.
Alright truth be told I am only 20 so maybe what I’m saying is age dependent. But when I was 17 I was 6 foot 1 and chubby, the kind of kid who put on large amounts of weight eating pretty normally. So when I got into boxing I ate in a deficit and did shit tons of cardio, in about 8 months I was at about 10% body fat, problem was I got super small too, I was fighting welterweight at 6 foot 2. So, I went on a bulk, hoping to add about 10lbs of lean weight (never wanted to be big). I COULD NOT GAIN WEIGHT, I was eating about 5000 calories a day to gain 1lb a week, on 10-12 hours of cardio a week (not something I could previously do). I genuinely believe that not only does cardio burn calories so you can eat more but that it actually significantly changes the was your body handles food. Anecdotal of course but it’s my opinion.
If your body is not designed to “bulk” naturally; doing it artificially is unhealthy, especially if you do it long term. This is controlled by one’s DNA.
Keep up the great work, Scooby! Greets from The Netherlands, the land with virtually no hills to climb on our bicycles :-(
BUT I know from experience that you have some HELLACIOUS head winds. NL is not the country of windmills by accident! :)
+1, indoor cardio sucks
I do it in the winter, though. I hate the cold weather.
@@robstr12 ya when the weather is shit it can be very helpfull thats true.
Agreed!
Hey Scooby!! Have fun biking in Sri Lanka. I'm from there(although I live in the US now) and have been a huge fan of your videos.
Thanks! I cant wait!
Wow been watching you for many many years. Never comment until now , seriously scooby thanks for the wisdom you have been sharing. I’m grateful sir
Thank you for your first comment!!!
I like your content better when you don't acknowledge CZcams rivalries. I don't care about kinobody and don't really want to hear about him. Your content stands alone, with no need of defense or reprisal.
i agree. scooby has a lot of experience at this point and doesnt need to acknowledge younger guys who pedal bullshit supplements while taking huge doses of gear
And here I am eating a 2000 calorie meal for breakfast watching this.
you oughta research Ketogenic with Intermittent fasting. I'm 46 years old - ripped year round, and gaining muscle. Keto fixes a lot of the challenges for the "caloric deficit bodybuilding diet." I can talk on this subject for hours so I won't type a lot here. I noticed a lot of the comments below are by tourists stating that you "need to have fat to gain muscle." They're fitness tourists. Research nutrient partitioning - Keto forces nutrient partitioning - which is actually the bottom-line secret sauce.
“Forces nutrient partitioning” doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense considering that you are literally always experiencing nutrient partitioning after you eat something unless you have an insulin problem or something. Nutrient partitioning just means your macros go somewhere to your body. “Forcing” that would imply that we aren’t already doing that but it’s not like you eat a whole pizza and it does nothing to your body like it does go somewhere.
@@gamertom99 What I meant is that you can determine the partitioning - Keto forces the partitioning of less calories to fat and more calories to energy and muscle. It's how nutrients are partitioning from your diet that causes the difference between fat and lean physiques. The challenge is that the process to change your metabolic partitioning is difficult for a few weeks of time so most people either won't go through it or remain skeptical.
Your 60!! I salute you sir.
@Todd Howard It's 2019 and people dont care about grammar. (do not, don't, don'e)
i'm eating a dounut and drinking a sprite zero while watching this video and wondering to me self ... WHAT HAVE I BECOME !!!
:)
No such thing as low metabolism. Just people who under count calories and exagerate exercise.
scooby1961 agreed
Yeeeeeeah.... that's bullshit
Fries are just a vegetable fried in healthy oil mmmmmmmmmmm,fries.
omg I haven't seen you since the bucket hat days on your website. I didn't know you had a CZcams channel and were still around. your a true pioneer in the internet fitness industry
Losing fat is hard. I had to count calories and watch my macros, keep protein high and lift heavy. I had to be patient and not rush my fat loss. I sometimes hit fat loss plateaus and have to continually lower my calories. You feel hungry, your not as strong and you feel small. It’s hard.
Yeah, my experience is very similar. I was morbidly obese and decided it was time to finally do something about it. I tried a restrictive diet (lost weight, but couldn't maintain it), tried weight lifting (I got a lot stronger, but didn't really lose any fat), and I tried cardio. Finally, last year, I put all three together--I put myself on a diet which has me at a 500 calorie per day deficit, I do 10 minutes of cardio to warm up, 45 minutes of weight lifting, and then finish off with 35 minutes of cardio. That produces pretty consistent weight loss, but it takes a LOT of work and commitment. Like you said, you feel hungry and you feel like you should be stronger for all the work you're putting in. As you say, it's hard!
"you feel hungry, your not as strong" this is one of the main reasons most guys can't lose BF. Tying your physical exertion to hunger is in your head. Your body has plenty of glucose storage between your muscles and liver for at least a 1 hour intense training session. Once your body gets over this "I'm hungry so I'm weak belief you can go longer.
"you feel small" there is an old gym rat saying that goes like this...
"The skinny guy's are afraid of overeating, because they're afraid of getting fat...so they never grow.
The fat guys are afraid of "getting small" so they always overeat...and never get lean.
God Bless you Scooby, you always speak the truth , people doesnt understand its unhealty to be obese but they are like "i feel good i dont mind, im happy with my body blablabla im right, you are wrong"
I had six pack abs in my 20's while in the military. I've also weightlifted most of my life. I do cardio 20 minutes a day, then lift for another 45. I still lift heavy even though I'm now in my mid-40's. I don't have six pack abs anymore. I'm not fat either, far from it, but I'm not concerned with being able to see complete ab definition. I'm also easily able to spot the steroid users at my gym. I also, sadly, watch a lot of people come in, that need to be in the gym regularly, that are new and do it for a month, maybe two, only to never return. Sometimes I watch their routine and am left shaking my head. Some have personal trainers, but I often see them watching the pretty women do their thing instead of actually helping their paying client.
So glad to see you're back Scooby!!!
Just one more scooby video.. it‘s just one video, right??? 400 calories
Scooby is my favorite fitness blogger.
You're like the nicest guy on youtube...
I kinda envy people who need to cut, i'm naturally lean because i do a lot of sports, yet i can't forcefeed myself food because i also suffer from hypertension and all my food is unsalted and tastes just bad. I try to, yet my body has no craving for anything because i know i'll just hate it. My grandpa also suffered from diabetes and having a genetic predisposition for this makes me avoid sweets and stuff like that.
How about healthy fats like avocados or nuts??
@@scooby1961 The thought of snaking on nuts between meals never occured to me......... I'll do this, thank you!
I dunno Scoob, I'm a 23 year old guy and when my bodyfat drops below 10% I start having hormonal issues. I feel fatigued all the time, libido goes WAY down, get injured more, etc. Having a little bit of extra fat on my body makes me feel much healthier.
who are you trying to convince that you have "hormonal issues" - yourself or me? If you want to be 15% bodyfat then be 15% bodyfat then own it and stop making excuses.
@@scooby1961 I'm not trying to convince anyone, just offering my anecdotal experience. Not everyone can be sub-10% bodyfat and healthy. Personally I feel best at around 11-12%, I'm definitely not saying anyone should be carelessly fat.
Heavier than loosing fat is loosing fat an trying to keep muscles. I am 47 an looking like 35 or younger but fighting since months. Gym, running, cycling, prper diet ... not easy at all. And I have never been really fat or lazy.
I’ve recently started taking up bike riding and it’s a lot of fun. My main reason why I do biking and can no longer do running like I used to do years ago, is because I have feet problems. Currently wearing custom orthotics, and it helps tons. Still can’t run though. :(
Substituting running for bike riding is turning out great for me. I want to try swimming later on.
