| Tips for Losing Weight |
• Focus on holding onto or adding muscle, not just burning fat.
• Follow a balanced nutrition plan with consistent eating habits, and track your calorie and protein intake, at least at first.
• Aim for 1-2 pounds of loss each week, but not much more.
• Exercise at least 60 minutes, 3-4 days per week, with some strength training in the mix.
• Perform cardio workouts or high-intensity interval training 2-3 days per week.

"hmm, interesting"

I use a fitness pal and Macro apps to track my calorie intake. In the beginning it annoying having to track evert cal you consume, but after a month you'll literally memorize the cal and nutrition so no need to manually track everything unless its something new. My advise. Do not snack, or consume any drinks that have calories. eat when its time to eat, and drink water, do intermittent fasting, and have a smoothie for lunch. Small changes result in a positive response.

The #1 thing is planned and structured diet, because the only way for your body to burn fat is to use it as energy. Basically, you need to eat below your energy maintenance level (in terms of calories) and your fat cells will be used to compensate the missing energy (calories). That's how your body works. There are other things to consider as well, such as hormonal status, diseases... but caloric deficit is a must. You have a lot of online diet planners and calculators... For example prodietbuddy or dietarizee... Losing weight is just a simple math, really...

Put all your food into myfitnesspal the day before. You know whats in your fridge and what meals you usually have.. makes it easier and hard to over eat or eat junk

[Menmenthealth]

You can really easily spice up a lot of dishes and make them taste amazing with the right amount of pepper and salt. Learning which spices to use is super easy and very rewarding

[RECONx_jlu]

Great video! Appreciate it. Picking food before I get to the restaurant is something I need to do. Never thought of it

[marisolmarie]

All tips are great especially the rest one. Thank you for your knowledge

[barbarawright]

Thank you for solidly addressing drinking alcohol. That's my downfall, not food. I love coming home at night after work/working out and tipping a few! Controlling food is no problem, but I don't want to go without a bit of anesthesia.

[constantinosefthymiades]

some really really good content here guys!!! keep them coming

[cange]

I like all the tips. My favorite was the active recovery tip though. Two things going for you there-active and still burning calories but it feels like and is a rest day. Thanks!

[FredaThomasL]

That was GREAT! I don't remember the #, but the tip to choose what you will order at the restaurant stands out. Also LOVE the opportunity to eat pasta. I have avoided carbs as though they are poison,

[dgofficial-gamingmusic]

The music you bring is great, it makes a difference, I can't hear it, thank you👍💯

[wngu]

Yep I don’t trust myself either when I’m drunk 😂

[mmmmkay]

I feel like everyone knows how to eat better than me no matter how hard I try to manage my macros 😣

[ufcfitnesscenter]

I used to disparage all DJs, saying they only manipulate the music and basics to create technological nonsense.

[govindshukla]

Can you share Source of lean protein for vegetarians ??😅😅

[siddharthjena]

Didn't get the calories part.... fitness tracker only counts those burnt in exercises, walking etc but not those due to body's natural metabolic rate to maintain basic body functions....

[sheridanhonore]

I have a question about Apple and Fit Bit watches. How accurate are they at counting the calories a person burns every day? Are they truly accurate or are they just gimmicks?

[yoranger]

how on earth do they have almost 5.5M subs but less than 20k views?
