"The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"

I saw it coming, I was expecting it, you couldn't help yourself and I love you for it.

A simple understanding of biology like this makes all those wacky supplements unbuyable. Good job James!

[nehadhanda]

Loved how you stressed the point about being patient. Every time I have worked to reduce my body fat%, the scale didn't budge for 8-10 days before I saw an abrupt drop.

Here is what my real life application of this info looks like: I was 145kg at 178cm, adipositas 2 (morbidly obese), 38% percent body fat. I broke bad eating habits, cut out sugary drinks, drastically reduced candies and snacks(reduced, not cut out mind you), worked on my portion size and feeling of saturation, and started working out. But all those changes came in little increments, babysteps. No "dieting". 3 times a week I hit the gym, 2 cardio workouts, 1 lifting workout. This helped me loose 50kg (52kg atm), lower my body fat to 15% and I only lost 6kg of lean mass, while still being able to progressively overload. I can now do pull ups ffs! I have no more visceral fat, the rest is all subcutaneous. I reversed a fatty liver and turned back the hands of time by 7 years. My biological age was estimated 37 in the body composition analysis at the start of my journey, now is 30... I am 35.
But all this took me roughly 2 years. You need patience and it would be a mistake to want too much too quick.

This is so timely. I've managed to lose some weight since March and keep it off. These clips keep me focused and excited to continue.

The two takeaway points from this video: consistency in training, as well as making sure you at conscious about what you put into your body is key.

At this point, Peter Griffin is my body type

I am at that point where I dont see any differences from week to week, and this helped me to understand what's happening, thank you

[TheDhammaHub]

While the things you have to do to lose weight are quite simple, most people nowadays need an in-depth explanation to be willing to implement them. Thanks for shedding some light on the processes!

In last 3 weeks I've lost 6kg just from a calorie deficit and a walk, first time ever I've lost weight mainly just from calorie counting.

Beta oxidation sounds like a new way to call someone a mouth breather.

[elihyland]

You’re a Saint for celebrating patience and discouraging people from wasting money and time

I've been skinny af my whole life. I am now gaining some muscle. But I gotta checkout these vids to help out the homies

[richithaplayer]

Last time I was this early, I was reliant on my mothers protein intake

I love your emphasis on consistency. At 6' tall my weight has fluctuated between the low 190lbs range all the way to 245lbs. It's not surprising I ballooned so quickly after I quit going to the gym when covid first happened. A six pack of beer every weekend and soda with fast food twice a day is not healthy at all. After just two weeks of cutting out the crap I've lost an inch off my waist. Thanks for doing what you do bro!

[diegowushu]

I've started to record my weight every week since I realized I had become a pig during lockdown. It's pretty good seeing the numbers decrease over time, even if you wish it'd be a little faster. Started at 103kg, currently at 99kg. 11kg more to go.

[Hummingbrid]

From Belfast just thank you for your well explained fat burning video and to all your videos you have opened my eyes to the lies and truth of the fitness industry. Sadly too many lies and false products out there, so I just want to say thank for your channel and information.

[eZUnQsWNpAGsUaHj]

My girlfriend told me she watches your channel too. That’s when I knew she is the one

[Phessington]

This is the best fat loss explanation video I have ever seen. Bravo James.
