Jay Vincent's videos and his advice on Training properly using HIT Is working great for me ! I also was on the cusp of full blown diabetes from laziness and horrendous food choices i started Keto with intermittent fasting and circuit traing full body workouts every other day I lost 40 lbs fast and my blood normalized again , my body looked better and I felt great , then I found jay vincent and did away with 4x a week full body 3sets of 8 to 10 rep stuff , now I'm doing 2 workouts a week I still do full body workouts but just 1 all out set to absolute muscle failure I am wiped out after my workout ..lol I have built muscle in my legs ,arms chest and back while maintaining my lean look I'm still doing keto I just upped my carbs from 20 g a day to 50 which I try to eat pre and post workout , I'm 62 and look and feel fantastic! Hit training is the way to go ~
This is actually the best video I have seen on this subject. I once got telephone consultations from Mike Mentzer, and he advised me to increase calories by 500 per day. Well, I did and just got fat. Then I had to cut calories by 500 below maintenance to get lean again, and at the same time I lost all the muscle I had built up during the bulking phase.
I agree, done bulking and cutting cycles for about 8 years and was never satisfied with the results. I would eat to much on the bulk and eat to little on the cut and look the same at the end lol
@@chrissa1896 Its going good man. I lost my dad belly and my upper body is well built. My legs are still skinny but overall i have a good body structure. I also started to take in more protein from animal meat. Going out more and spend less time at home nowdays.
I eat 6 scrambled eggs for breakfast, I eat a spoonful of peanut butter throughout the day when I get hungry, then I eat either fish, chicken or 8oz of ground beef. I'm cool with it.
I've never really understood the mantra that cutting calories will result in muscle loss, especially if you are training intensely and consuming adequate quality protein. I can see this for a pro bodybuilder cutting for the last few weeks before a competition, but for joe average it just doesn't ring true. Yes, you may be taking in a reduced amount of calories, but your body isn't in a calorie deficit! Why? Because it is filling the gap by using your bodyfat reserves! With adequate quality protein intake, muscle growth can still occur while losing bodyfat.
Yeah, if you ever ran out of energy you would be lethargic and practically hypothermic. Your body is very good at getting body fat when needed. I've fasted for up to days at a time and it can handle that. Nowadays, though, I'd go for protein(muscle) sparing fasts, where you just eat lean protein for your daily needs and whatever fat is incidental in the lean whole food protein. No carbs, for better satiation. Couple days of that a week and you'll lose a lot without losing muscle. About 800 calories a day of mostly protein. You can up the fat for a slower consistent loss as an every day of the week diet. Don't try to do heat lean for months though as you really need omega 3's and fat soluble vitamins.
Jay - what about intermittent fasting? I have type 2 diabetes. I've been working out for 10 months to build back the muscle that I lost when diabetes was eating away at my body (fat loss and muscle loss). Since then I've learned about intermittent fasting to help manage my blood sugar naturally (NO insulin). BUT I am also trying to keep building up muscles to get even stronger than I was pre-diabetes. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this topic, if you'd be wiling to address it in a video. Thanks in advance!
Jay , as in my comment I almost ate my way into diabetes. I was definitely insulin resistant and caused myself neuropathy in my feet , low carb and intermittent fasting i fully believe saved my health for sure ! Jay's hit training once I found his channel and started working out properly I have built muscle and my strength and energy have increased as well , I'm 62 it worked for me I think it would work for most everyone , jay may not agree with low carb but it works for me I feel great and low carb does not effect my energy in my life or the gym , I eat alot of healthy fat and fiber that helps as well ,good luck
@@shotgunsnare One year later and I'm still on a low carb, intermittent fasting routine. If my body was "normal" I would have a different diet, for sure. But with type 2 diabetes I have to really watch the types of carbs and amount of carbs I digest and what time of day I eat them. When I was pre-diabetic I ballooned up in weight - very very fat. Then as diabetes fully set in, my body dropped weight like crazy - both muscle and fat. I was crazy weak from all the muscle loss. Doing HIT like Jay teaches (and "Body By Science" / "Power of 10"), combined with intermittent fasting, low-carb and Perfect Amino for my protein source (along with meat) has helped me to build lean muscle mass and drop a lot of body fat.
@@RichardIngallsOn the contrary.. you are normal, but almost everyone is on their way type II diabetes with the general diet. If you want to gain muscle while on a deficit, try protein sparing modified fasts. You can eat 4x a day but lean protein, which in a sense of carbs really doesn't raise blood glucose significantly, and lean animal protein to your daily optimal needs are only ~800 calories per day.
Per pound of ideal body weight. If you're underweight you eat more to trigger more muscle growth, if you're overweight, you eat less, because your body can't handle crazy high protein quantities.
For example a 3000 calories guy dropping it little to 2700 this way and stay like this for longer times...wouldn't the body drop the metabolism so this 2700 cal will be his maintenance calories??
That's false. Often it's from people also losing muscle mass and energy spent needing to haul their large body around. Very little actual metabolic rate difference or then they'd get cold extremely easily.
It is possible for anyone, at least for once or a short time, the questtion is: Is it sustainable for anyone in the long run? The answer to that is no, that´s were genetics play a role. Many people on 15% will feel like shit with no energy after a few weeks and will have to go up to maybe 20% to feel optimal while others may run around witth 10% all year long and feel great.
15% isn't a huge ask for healthy people, especially when they're bulked up with more muscle, since it's the same overall weight of fat but lower percentage of body mass.
@@mikafoxx2717 For some people it is, I personally know at least 3 guys who dieted down to 15,16% and stayed there for a few weeks as their energy in the gym and their daily lives went down severely. As they put on a few pounds they were fine again. Gotta say though they were on a big deficit of 800--1000 cals which could be a reason for that.
@@r.p.mcmurphy4769definitely likely was. I finished a 10 week cut at a 1000 calorie deficit and that shit was so tiring near the end. Now I’m back closer at maintenance and I feel so much better.
Its annoyig though. i try to lose fat but i dont lose fat and i dont gain strength. but then i get stronger but i stay fatter. i dont like being fatter. i wanna be lean. then maingain.
You need to reduce your calories more. Keep reducing them until you begin to lose fat. Fat loss doesnt happen over night. It is a relatively slow process. You need to maintain discipline and stick with it for several months. The fact you havent lost fat is proof you simply havent done this.
@@rockyp32 up your lean protein intake in every meal and adjust the other macros accordly to remain on deficit.Not only youll be more satisfied through the day it will guarantee youll hit your protein macros everytime.
It would seem that Dr. Ted Naiman's theory of protein:energy ratio would apply here - one needs a positive nitrogen balance to add muscle but an energy deficit to lose fat. So would one be best served to eat high protein/low fat AND carb for this recomp to occur?
@@RHINOSAUR yeah, which is why you would need a minimum of 75 grams of fat daily while trying to eliminate carbs - according to Dr. Eric Berg in his video addressing this same issue.

I highly doubt that as he advised in his writing and lectures to not bulk with a surplus over 100 calories a day
@@DavidDoingLife Well, that is how it was. Where have you seen him saying 100 calories a day? I have never seen that anywhere.
@@thomashilmersen711ever figuire out what works for you?
The best answer to most workout questions: keep it simple stupid.
Solid advice
The most simplistic and common sense explanation of this process I've heard. I use elements of the Mediterranean diet to help with my own process.
I agree, done bulking and cutting cycles for about 8 years and was never satisfied with the results. I would eat to much on the bulk and eat to little on the cut and look the same at the end lol
I thought he was gonna say I do not recommend you training in a hamster wheel lol.

Thank you for educating us on fitness and proper food intake. I'm currently skinny fat, age 30, and looking for a healthy way of building my muscles.
Let's get it!
How is it going?

That's literally what I did by accident. I discovered all of this from my own expirience. This is a real but an uncomfortable way to train.

Gear is the answer.
With adequate protein, and is it ideal that you get 1g of protein per pound of body weight?
Per pound of ideal body weight. If you're underweight you eat more to trigger more muscle growth, if you're overweight, you eat less, because your body can't handle crazy high protein quantities.
