Hope you enjoyed this one! Please take what I mentioned towards the end of the video seriously. Not many people talk about it, but it's the truth. Also, here's a link to all the studies mentioned: MUSCLE LOSS IN A CALORIE DEFICIT WITHOUT STRENGTH TRAINING www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8308821/ MUSCLE LOSS ADVERSELY IMPACTS METABOLISM www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2980962/ PROPENSITY FOR POST-DIET FAT GAIN CORRELATED WITH MUSCLE LOSS pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31106601/ MINIMUM WORKOUT VOLUME pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21131862/ CALORIE-BURN ASSOCIATED WITH WEIGHTLIFTING pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30768553/ CARDIO REDUCES DANGEROUS VISCERAL FAT www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3568069/ BODYWEIGHT REDUCTION IS ASSOCIATED WITH ENERGY EXPENDITURE REDUCTION www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3673773/
Hi, I want to ask that i am currently at 16 percent body fat so i am going increase my NEAT by walking 12k steps eating high protein diet 4 times a week and 3 days high carb diet to make sure my appetite don't go down and my metabolism stay high. Is it good idea?
@@Akashfitness401 If you want to walk 12k steps 3 times a week or more, sure, go ahead. But it will take so much time, so unless you enjoy walking then stick to it, otherwise I would rather choose a different cardio option like running or cycling to spend less time on it meanwhile burning the same amount of calories. When it comes to the diet I think you should mix it up and make sure you're eating like at least 1.8g of protein per 1kg of body weight + fair amount of vegetables and fruits daily (split it for each of 4 meals or smth) would make it optimal. That's what I would recommend doing.
Summarization of the video: 1. Losing love handles requires the right approach to nutrition, and with the right approach, they can eventually be eliminated. 2. Consistency is key when it comes to losing fat - rushing the process often leads to regaining the weight. 3. Losing muscle instead of fat during a diet can negatively impact metabolism and increase the likelihood of regaining fat, making lifting weights an important safety guard against fat regain in the future. 4. Cardio is important for creating a calorie deficit and doesn't have to be grueling or time-consuming, as just 10-15 minutes of moderate intensity cardio can burn the same amount of calories as an hour-long weightlifting session. 5. Cardio is not always necessary for losing love handles, especially for individuals who have active jobs or lifestyles, but it may help reduce visceral fat and overall belly size. 6. Incorporating low to moderate intensity cardio exercises that you enjoy and can stick to, such as incline walking or swimming, can help you see progress in getting rid of love handles. 7. When weight loss plateaus, instead of making drastic changes to your plan, you can either decrease calorie intake or increase activity level, but only a small change is needed. 8. "To completely lose your love handles, you have to get to a level of leanness that is very difficult to sustain for most people."
That is the best advice yet. Look at your overall progress. don’t over obsessed with your abs and love handles. You are all kings and queens! One step at a time! And don’t forget, we mainly work out to be HEALTHY!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:14 🍽️ Love handles result from long-term overeating, particularly calories stored as abdominal fat. 01:10 🎯 A calorie deficit is crucial, but fat loss starts from other areas before love handles. 01:52 ⏳ Aim for a sustainable calorie deficit, like losing a pound a week, to avoid quick rebounds. 02:48 🏋️ Lifting weights maintains muscle and metabolism during a calorie deficit, aiding in fat loss. 03:46 🕒 Consider reducing workout frequency to focus on fat loss, 3-6 hard sets per muscle per week are sufficient. 04:30 🏃♂️ Cardio is more efficient for burning calories than lifting; aim to include it in your routine. 05:56 🍎 Cardio helps in reducing visceral fat, improving overall health and appearance. 06:23 🚶♂️ Start by increasing daily steps to 8,000-10,000, then consider adding moderate cardio. 07:33 ⚖️ As you lose weight, your energy expenditure decreases; adjust your routine accordingly. 08:57 🤔 Consider the trade-off of pushing for extreme leanness versus sustainable progress and well-being.
As long as you drink enough water and sleep your 8 hours a day. While you sleep, you don't eat and that helps on your calorie deficit. One main thing about exercise is taking control of your time and diet.
@@KleberD91 Get to atleast below 10% body fat. Its hard maintaining that because eat less your body literally thinks its dying eat more well your body fat is going to increase. Its just not sustainable long term
What I really like is you acknowledge that striving to get rid of love handles may not be for everyone. Especially since maintaining once you do lose them may be stressful and ultimately not worth it. Very helpful video!
Thanks for this video, Jeremy. I lift and do cardio 5 times a week, and can't touch my love handles. You have given me the motivation to eat better and work harder to lose them.
Really love how didn’t drag on “talking about” losing love handles and then ultimately leading your viewers to a website to “buy” how to lose your love handles just like every other professional trainer. Love the help and your work you’re doing brother. I feel that you use your platform to actually help your fellow man and woman achieve their goals, not out for anyone’s money or likes. Stay blessed man 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
This video should have wayyy more views. It’s so good, and I fear it’s been mistitled. It should just be called “How to burn fat and lose weight”. Just straight to the point.
Thumbs up for the ending! I get constantly told, that I'm lean and look good, but I was fat my whole life and always struggle with my live handles. I keep training in a healthy amount, but I won't drive myself crazy and work on my insecurity. Thank you!
I only want to say, THANK YOU. I’ve been working out for a few months now and seeing the love handles not reducing in size was getting really frustrating. I know now that I need to be more patient and this process can last even a year. The video is amazing, full of information and especially honest. Thank you a lot!
Absolutely respect you for this video. I take the points you have given and the most important one for me was the last one; I have been consistent with the gym for about 4 months now and have slimmed down quite a bit, but I have been so obsessed with completely losing the belly fat that I ignored the gains I have made. This video placed things into perspective and I am thankful for that.
Thanks Jeremy. I have been starting this same routine and diet for the last 3 weeks. My wife has been a huge support. It definitely has been hard when one doesn't see the changes right away. But will take a lot of consideration on you mentioned at the end of this video. As well as focusing on lifting, cardio and nutrition. Thanks again
Love the honesty and the fact you don't sugar coat, loosing weight is hard and also very depressing when you hit a wall or feel your getting no where, just got to keep pushing and stay positive keep going people you got this
This is such good quality content! Love the calm voice, clear expectations of limits one must be aware of and in general doesn’t make workouts seem like a gruelling part of the day but more of a simpler addition among other activities. Very motivating!
I needed this video. Former DI athlete, veteran and now firefighter. Still in pretty decent shape wrt general population but I’ve lost it with 3 young kiddos. Need to lose 10-15 pounds at least. Thank you
This is a GREAT and realistic video. Thank you so much for this info. I have recently got back on the exercise/diet train, after YEARS of neglect. I was always in half decent shape in my 20's and 30's, but just let myself go as I got into my late 30's and now early 40's. Combine that with terrible eating habits, and heavy drinking. I am about 1 month into my new routine and have already seen some incredible improvements in my overall health. The key take away for me is GIVE IT TIME. As you say, it has taken years to build up this fat and poor physique; it will take time to lose it, and get back into your desired shape, or reach your goals. Don't get discourage people....start slow, and build your way up!! I started with steps.....and now up over 12k steps/day as well as 3x/week on the treadmill. Combine that with some weight training and a wicked diet I put together, and even my mental health has improved tremendously. Don't give up, and the only competition you have is YOU!! And you got this!! 😎😎😎 Thanks again for the video and you now have a new sub.
What I learned from this video is that I just need to keep going and do what helped me lose weight so far. I've been working out for almost 4 months now and have been eating somewhat healthily (less carbs, increased protein, occasional junk) and have lost 18 lbs. from 178 to 160. Every part of my body has shown signs of improvement except for my stubborn belly and my moobs. I've been overweight since I was a kid and all throughout my teen years and I'm now in my early 30s (not overweight anymore but just carrying that belly fat). Thanks for reminding me to keep pushing! And thanks for supplementing EBP guidelines in your videos
You lifting already? If not get some compound lifts going like StrongLifts or starting strength. But yeah man I haven’t lifted for a very long time because of injuries initially and then laziness later. But started up three months ago, and while I know I have a long way to go, I’m super happy with my three months of progress. Now just envision where you will be in a year, two years.. five years! 18 pounds from 178 in four months is great. Just need to put on some muscle and get your testosterone levels juiced again from some heavy squats, deadlifts and bench etc. The more muscle on your body the higher your metabolic rate since your muscles and lifting demand a good amount of caloric energy throughout the day to sustain and repair.
@@wethepeople8280 Yeah I do lift weights, but the weight of my dumbbells is limited because I workout at home, so I just try to do more reps. I have a little bit of social anxiety so it's a bit challenging going to the gym, so for now, I'm just looking to increase the weight of my dumbbells. But man, my goal for now is to get a "flat" stomach. Having abs would just be a bonus. Good luck on your health journey!
The last few seconds of your video was deep because, I too am always obsessed with losing my love handles and annoyed I still have them. People tell me I am crazy because I am getting more broad and defined everywhere else... Didn't realize this until JUST last month and I have been working out, on and off, for 15 years. You are right man- I must take my time and it feels good to know I have improved everywhere else but argghhh damn stubborn love handles! Great video.
I’m starting to see my actual abs at 152lbs, 12% body fat coming from 190lbs at my lowest point. I feel like the key was patience and time with small deficits. Crash dieting used to make me so hungry and go on a binge. Now I’m just eating like a regular person.
Lol, I got there by continuously bumping my activity levels. Got up to running about 25 miles per week, plus riding my bike to work every day. I remember thinking "So this is what it takes. How to these other people do it because it doesn't seem they do anything other than a regular gym routine". Anyway those days are gone, but I'm still in shape
@@E3T7 I said “actual Abs” meaning muscle looking like it’s right under the skin. At 15% it’s like that fake Abs with the 6 pack fat indentations. I could see the oblique gils as well now
The last part you mentioned about trade off & sacrifices we have to make for loosing love handles and all the Instagram models may not be natural, many influencers skip this part and make it feel like it’s our laziness that stand between loosing love handles or not. The fact that it is hard to maintain it is clearly overlooked by them for their gains. Thank you or the true honesty…❤
Great video! Diet is #1 of course . Doing moderate cardio helped get over the plateau for me. I was running hard on the treadmill, lost about 40 pounds from starting at about 225 and then hit a wall for like 2-3 months and wasn’t losing weight or my gut and love handle fat. Started doing incline walking with occasional sprints but moderate enough where I can carry a conversation. Within a month I see a big difference.
Can I do treadmill for like 2 hour on full incline on mid to high speed and max incline? Will it help me lose a lot of fat and love handles within a month while maintaining my diet accordingly: an apple or half and milk in breakfast, lunch can be fruit or some nuts, and dinner varies but one plate?
@@SMOOTH__________ within a month? No. For 2 hours on the treadmill a day? Thats overkill. Depending where you are in your fitness journey. If you are extremely overweight and can dial in your diet/nutrition with portion control along with consistent cardio of at least 30 mins a day, you could drop 30-40 pounds in a month. Once you lose the water weight, the weight loss slows down. Ultimately every day in the gym is like putting pennies in the bank. You won’t necessarily see the results on a day by day basis, but if you keep going and be consistent with it and your diet it will add up over months and years
@@da1ewok like I have love handles. Not too big like I’m just overweight not very. I’m 85 kg at 5,11. Plus, I won’t have much time for exercise due to work as there is barely any time
very well said brother sustainability is what maters the most and is often ignored. I went through transformation twice losing love handles and now again I'm back with it.
38 pounds down in 5 months. My legs looking so much thinner but my love handles are taking the longest. Appreciate the video. Hit a 3 week wall but I’m finally starting to lose weight again. Going to keep grinding
@@shrimpboy944 Damn bro. Good job keep going 👍💪. I really need to start getting active again. Ever since covid I gotten really lazy and haven't got out the house as much, which made me gain weight and lose muscle.
Thanks so much for reminding me that I look very good even if I have something on my love handles. It's so easy to focus on what you don't have rather than appreciating all the good work you've put in over a long period of time! I appreciate you, brother!
The comment about the extra push at the end is so true. I reduced my cals to 1500 at the end of my cut to try and get completely shredded and I felt absolutely awful and my hormones were all messed up. Consider the trade off
Thanks for making this video. The step by step breakdown is so helpful. I especially appreciated your ending about trade offs. People don’t talk about that enough. It’s good to want to be healthy. It’s okay to want to look good. But we can take that too far when we’re comparing ourselves to unrealistic ideals, or when we don’t understand what’s required to attain that in our own circumstances. You’re not selling mirages, which is why I think you have the best channel for workout wisdom. Great stuff.
I’m 65 and am just trying to stay healthy. I walk 10K steps almost daily outdoors and love this. I hit the elliptical machine in Fat Burn mode for a quick 15 minute workout and burn right around 200 calories. I try to do this daily as well. I didn’t realize how weak my thighs were until I started the elliptical.. but they are getting stronger each day. I don’t have love handles but I do have the dreaded man boobs and I want to lose them desperately. I see results already and will keep on training. Thanks Jeremy..great video.
The bit at the end was really what I needed ... I'm always going to have love handles but, I think I'm doing pretty good otherwise and rather than obsess over perfection, it's better just to be grateful for what you have.
Greetings from Singapore! I’ve always been skinny and struggle to put on weight while growing up, but as I aged and now as a 49 years old Asian woman I find that I’ve become a bit skinny fat in my belly as I sit all day in office. I’ve been lifting weights and training with a personal trainer for the last 6 months to build muscles & to gain weight, indirectly I’ve seen some progress in losing my belly and love handles but still have them. I was feeling a bit discouraged and decided to rewatch this video from you - thank you for your encouragement & reminding me the progress I’ve made so far in the last 1 year since I restarted exercising & weight lifting for 6 months.
Hey Jeremy, I just wanted to take a moment to applaud you! I am also a fitness professional and it’s so refreshing to see someone like yourself finally telling the truth about weight loss. No quick fixed but just the reality and science of what it takes to reach a goal of losing your love handles. It was also fantastic that you emphasized how important it is to embrace all of the progress you’ve made along the way while not always looking for absolute perfection. Seriously I get so frustrated watching all the quick fix BS advertisement. This was such a breathe of fresh air. I’ve been in this business for over 30 years and have seen it all. Well done on just being an honest, caring fitness professional. I wish you all the success in the world!
👏👏👏 finally someone whos talks the truth he gives you the steps to lose the love handles and at the end he shows guys thst are ripped and tells u how hard it is to achieve and also people have different genetics...proud of this guy...
I went from 250 pounds to 195 by walking to work(I'm 6_2 and not a small frame). it was 3.3 miles each way, done four times because I was on a split shift. There were uphills involved. I would carry my work uniform including boots in a gym bag. When I started out the trek was an hour and fifteen minutes. When I quit years later it was down to 55 minutes. It didn't matter what I ate at that point. No changes to either diet or any other exercise. I wasn't ripped at all. I was THIN(for me).
Thanks so much man youre an absolute life saver I’ll come back to the comments on this video in the next 5 months and I’ll give you all an update on my journey!
I’ve made insane progression the last month following you. Downfall, during my cut I’m starting to feel so weak throughout my days. My 6 pack is peaking and love handles slowly dripping off, but I’m so tired😞 I’ve been so focused on tapping into that stubborn fat that I have been looking over my progress and have been cutting even more calories…. I’ve been tracking my nutrients and steps everyday… at 6ft 206lbs currently 34yrs old I’ve been eating 11,740 calories a week which works out to be 1,638 a day….workout 5 days and rest 2. Lots of elite basketball, weight training and no cardio just 20min sauna at 200 degrees 3 times a week and 10min the other 4 days. I’m averaging 103 grams of protein, 102 grams of carbs, and 42 grams of fat. Actual calories are 1,176…… I’m in sales so besides going to the park with my kid after work I don’t do hard labor but I am on my feet all day…. I feel I need to up my nutrients effectively upping my calories due to the lack of energy…. What do you suggest? 14grams of sugar and 11 grams of fiber on average a week. Definitely upping those
I've been a bit out of the game for a bit, but that sounds very very low dude. I'm 5ft 6, when i was training i was around 59-61kg, 10-12% body fat, fluctuating. I remember i was in a minor deficite, but i wasn't doing much cardio other than some 30 min walks , and not regularly. otherwise hitting the gym 1 day yes, 1 day no, and going properly full out on each session (read - push as hard as i can on first 2, get a spotter and go to failure, and 1 or 2 negatives after failure for my last set, each exercise). Sessions lasted around 1hr and 20mins. Doing just that, which is most certainly less than you are doing, with less weight, i was consuming around 1700 kcal daily, and i was considering going upwards a bit Job is deskwork, so no exercise there. I'd definitely look into reworking your kcal my dude, up them by just 200, see how you feel. FYI, I believe one handful of nuts of any kind(around 33g) is around 200kcal. although you probably better off increase fiber , sugar and carbs, so a banana, an apple, and another fruit should do the trick :)
This video rocked. Hate workout videos as it feels I can never do it. This explains things great. I’m about to pick up a lot more walking!!! Thank you!
The part about not stressing about it too much at the end is definitely gold. Life is not only about that. And you definitely can look VERY good without lowering your bodyfat percentage to such low levels. You are in a win win position when you have an active job and lifestyle that I can tell you for sure. It is like doing smth useful when waiting for someone) The process is much easier and natural while the result is the same compared to when you push yourself.
Personally, I've seen considerably more reliable results in fat loss by focusing on building muscle. Keeping my deficit 6 days a week, but steadily increasing by basal metabolic rate due to steadily increasing lean body mass helped me drop 65lbs of fat in around 8 months. Always appreciate your content and info.
Mad respect! Great, honest, scientific information. I also very much appreciated your words at the end of the video about not obsessing over how we look, but to simply appreciate all the progress of becoming healthy!
Thank you! This obsession with getting "shredded" is ridiculous. Unless you're a professional body-builder or you just crave validation from strangers online, it has very little real-world benefit. If you have all your other health metrics in order (diet, exercise, intellectual stimulation, good sleep, and lower stress), 10%-20% body fat is not a problem.
Love the comment on the last 30 seconds of the video. I always wonder about genetics, and the work to accomplish that look. A big part is mental as we are our worst critic. I get compliments on my physique all the time but I can't look past the last bit of tummy fat I have. That said, there are some good tips here especially about not going to high of calorie deficit initially.
Hey Jeremy. It's Jeremy here and I am 1 year and 8 months in of my body transformation journey. There have been some setbacks with injuries but I've lost 30lbs through the help of your videos. Thank you for all the help and insight. I appreciate it bro. 😤👊
I don't feel the need to comment that often, but i have to for this. Jeremy and his content were very easy to listen to and watch. Straight forward, honest, and well made.
This is brilliant Jeremy, I'm in this exact position and it's really been getting me down, carrying knee and back injuries making it difficult to do anything majorly active. This has really energised me to do something different starting tomorrow!
Jeremy, I really liked the way you present information. Even though I know that this video was an extended 'get my program' ad, it's still valuable info and was presented with very good supporting data and examples. Nothing in here was bad advice... all actually was balanced, temperate and understandable. Great work! I hope my videos get to this level of polished end result sometime soon. (and of course, I will continue to follow your channel).
I mean this in the most manly way possible... Jeremy, I love you buddy. Your content has great graphics, science and your delivery is honest and isn't overhyped, overly energetic "Mr Motivation" type guy. Good work bro! Your content is helping.
This was a ABSOLUTE great video. I’m a guy that was in shape for a number of years after I stopped playing basketball. I had 17% body fat I was lean six pack. I wasn’t big I wasn’t small just right where I wanted to be at 185. within the last two and a half years I got lazy and just didn’t wanna eat as healthy any more, drank what I wanted indulged and worked out less. I got to 221 the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life and said f that. Started a lil meal regimen my cousin put me in weighing my food working out more eating healthier and I’m down to 209 and couldn’t be happier. The video really showed me I have to stick to it and that places like my face and other parts will come off first before my abs return and he’s 1000% right because I’m actually starting to see it now. So great video man I appreciate the knowledge 🤙🏾✊🏾🙏🏾👌🏾
Bro u r the truth for that last bit of self care/mental care most don't acknowledge the issues people deal with in the fitness n health world. I don't have issues but I empathize Good look on you mate
I had visible abs, got down to 11% body fat and I still had love handles. I didn't wanna go further because I felt like shit so I stopped. Genetics are a killer for some people and I just have to learn to love my love handles haha. Building a bigger back and shoulders to make them less relevant on my body.
@@datoolz0 everyone is different brotha but don't kill yourself over something you can't change. The only reason we don't like this part of our body is because we've been conditioned to not.
5' 10" male...I honed in on 1,750 calories per day on May 1st and have been losing no more than 2 lbs per week on the BWS program since July 1st. I had to adjust the weight loss setting in my spreadsheet to reflect a lower weight loss when that started to slow down (it's now set to 0.5 lbs per week). I have lost 36 lbs since May 1st, including about 10% body fat; however, I have also gained over 3% muscle and dropped 5% more body fat since I started my weight training on July 1st (I also run or swim every day for 45 minutes). Using the best estimates, I have about 5% more body fat to lose, but my weight can fluctuate still. BWS predicts that at my rate I should reach my fat targets no later than mid-January, which works for me.
Man, I have been following your push pull legs split for 2 years and i have seen much difference in my body. i would really love to see a newer version ( or updated version) of the PPL split , since you have conducted so much new research with the help of betty and honestly i am getting bored of my current workout plan. It would really help me to have a workout plan with the best exercises to grow each muscle group in the most effective and efficient way without overtraining them. I hope you’ll post a new PPL split in the near future. Btw love from india.
Brilliant video and especially the last point. Case in point, I am someone who started out with the intention to lose my love handles and have my abs be visible (followed Jeremy's content even back then when his following was under 1 million subscribers). However, as a natural lifter, I very quickly realized that I had 2 options, it was either getting very lean and looking somewhat small for my size (along with other issues such as energy crashes etc) or I could hold some amount of belly fat in my love handles and lower abs region and look comparatively bigger and muscular in clothes while still having my abs be somewhat visible because I work them regularly. Chose the second option and never looked back after that. If anything, my love handles barely detract or make my physique look bad (that is until and unless I purposely stand in front of bad lighting).
No because I’ve been on my game with losing weight and I overall wanted to lose my love handles and I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was right and so I came to this video and to hear him basically say everything I’m doing is right gets me so motivated and excited to keep going.🎉
'wherever the body stores fat first is where it will lose fat from last' 0:35 I SECOND THIS with my recent experience!!! I just lost 30lb over the last 7 months, my aim has been 1lb a week. I'm 5'9, male, 26 years old. I was 205lb in Dec 2022 and I'm 174lb now in July 2023. The order that I lost weight is exactly the reversed order which I gained weight! I first lost fat around my butt area when I went from 205lb to 190 lb, then I lost fat on my face, chin, chest (190lb -> 180lb). Finally my belly and love handles get smaller 180lb -> 174lb. I think I will lose the fat on my legs last since I gained them earliest. So basically, I saw minimal improvement around my belly area from Dec 2022 to May 2023 when my weight went from 205lb to 180lb. I saw my belly areas get smaller significantly from June 2023 to July 2023 (now). My abs finally start to show now when I wake up before I eat, which I'm so happy about. I'm aiming 165lb and maintain it, I'm gonna make it in two months or so!!! One interesting story during the time I lost my butt fat. One day I got in the car, and I felt my view was significantly lower weirdly enough, and I had to adjust my chair up. I realized it's because I lost a lot of fat on my butt later when I was taking a shower .
Calorie deficit to make the fat go away. Everyone has different parts of the body that store the most fat. If it’s love handles then it’ll be the last to go. But you gotta keep losing until gone 👍🏻
Great video as always. Another thing that has been a big issue for me is not getting enough sleep. It seems to lead to my body wanting to hang onto that fat, perhaps due to heightened levels of cortisol stress hormone through the lack of sleep. Sleeping enough can be a fairly important step in achieving such a physique goal.
How come you’re not getting enough sleep? In my experience not enough sleep messes everything up in a big way. So, it’s critical to solve that problem.
I'm just getting back into my fitness journey and the back slides are a real struggle. But I drive on as best I can! I am a member of a gym and I have a trainer as well and have tried a few different home delivery food preparation services as well to manage the fast food craves... All in hopes of just getting some borderline and just over the line heallth issues under control! Channels like yours let me know I can keep motivated and push on even when I don't see big gains or losses but the point is to maintain and embrace the progress more than anything else! Thanks!!
Great information here as always. I had been in a bulk and then maintenance for a while so I developed what I call the "gut crack." I hate it. The worst part of bulking is my waist is always where I gain noticeable fat. I currently lift weights 4-5 times a week, but the only cardio I do is a short ten minute walk on the treadmill before I start training. My weight loss has slowed to a crawl even though my diet and training have been very consistent. It might be time to add some cardio into my routine and see if that kicks it back into gear.
Thanks for the informational video without pushing ads or trying to get me to buy something. It was super helpful. Definitely gonna start lifting more upper back and shoulders !
I lost a lot of weight for this so I look good at the pool and you ate absolutely right. I reached a point there it is getting harder and harder to lose more fat and my performance in the gym is starting to decrease and I am wondering if it's really worth it.
I love how your videos/contents so insightful. You just don’t make videos about workout, “you have to do this workout and that, etc.” but you also provide knowledgeable insights and scientific-based information. I am glad I subscribed to your channel. Keep it up! You’re helping a lot of people.
I’m right at that final love handle stage of my cut. I’ve been losing 1lb per week for 8 weeks now. I’ve gotten down to this body’s fat % before. It’s a trade off, no love handles and always have to be conscious of what you eat. Or love handles? It becomes more of a psychological battle. I’m 62, in great shape, why should I care about love handles? Large ego I guess. 😃
Wait a second... Even if you burn less calories when doing weight lifting, you forgot to mention that after your lifting session your metabolism running high, meaning that you still burning calories days after hard weight lifting session.
I just came across your videos. Dude, you are just amazing. You explain so powerfully such complex topics where there are a lot of contradictions around them and where things work differently for different people. Seriously man, fantastic job, thank you so much!

Hi, I want to ask that i am currently at 16 percent body fat so i am going increase my NEAT by walking 12k steps eating high protein diet 4 times a week and 3 days high carb diet to make sure my appetite don't go down and my metabolism stay high. Is it good idea?
@@Akashfitness401 If you want to walk 12k steps 3 times a week or more, sure, go ahead. But it will take so much time, so unless you enjoy walking then stick to it, otherwise I would rather choose a different cardio option like running or cycling to spend less time on it meanwhile burning the same amount of calories. When it comes to the diet I think you should mix it up and make sure you're eating like at least 1.8g of protein per 1kg of body weight + fair amount of vegetables and fruits daily (split it for each of 4 meals or smth) would make it optimal. That's what I would recommend doing.

Hey, can u make a video on people who are "skinny fat" and what they should do?
Fitness is not about being better than someone else, it’s about being better than you used to be.
YESSSSS
Spot on comment
I don’t seem to be getting fitter.
My stamina just isn’t increasing.
For real , and just all out feeling better in your own skin & which definitely builds confidence
@@KyleTheDalekhave a good diet
i love that he makes fitness content like this not feed into your body dysmorphia. it’s so refreshing. thanks bro ✊🏼✊🏼
Summarization of the video:
1. Losing love handles requires the right approach to nutrition, and with the right approach, they can eventually be eliminated.
2. Consistency is key when it comes to losing fat - rushing the process often leads to regaining the weight.
3. Losing muscle instead of fat during a diet can negatively impact metabolism and increase the likelihood of regaining fat, making lifting weights an important safety guard against fat regain in the future.
4. Cardio is important for creating a calorie deficit and doesn't have to be grueling or time-consuming, as just 10-15 minutes of moderate intensity cardio can burn the same amount of calories as an hour-long weightlifting session.
5. Cardio is not always necessary for losing love handles, especially for individuals who have active jobs or lifestyles, but it may help reduce visceral fat and overall belly size.
6. Incorporating low to moderate intensity cardio exercises that you enjoy and can stick to, such as incline walking or swimming, can help you see progress in getting rid of love handles.
7. When weight loss plateaus, instead of making drastic changes to your plan, you can either decrease calorie intake or increase activity level, but only a small change is needed.
8. "To completely lose your love handles, you have to get to a level of leanness that is very difficult to sustain for most people."
thank u
Mvp
I go walking around 4 to 5 miles. While fasting with weight lifting.and ab exercise . Still working on it
If i could give you a gold star i would 🫡
thank you
That is the best advice yet. Look at your overall progress. don’t over obsessed with your abs and love handles. You are all kings and queens! One step at a time! And don’t forget, we mainly work out to be HEALTHY!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:14 🍽️ Love handles result from long-term overeating, particularly calories stored as abdominal fat.
01:10 🎯 A calorie deficit is crucial, but fat loss starts from other areas before love handles.
01:52 ⏳ Aim for a sustainable calorie deficit, like losing a pound a week, to avoid quick rebounds.
02:48 🏋️ Lifting weights maintains muscle and metabolism during a calorie deficit, aiding in fat loss.
03:46 🕒 Consider reducing workout frequency to focus on fat loss, 3-6 hard sets per muscle per week are sufficient.
04:30 🏃♂️ Cardio is more efficient for burning calories than lifting; aim to include it in your routine.
05:56 🍎 Cardio helps in reducing visceral fat, improving overall health and appearance.
06:23 🚶♂️ Start by increasing daily steps to 8,000-10,000, then consider adding moderate cardio.
07:33 ⚖️ As you lose weight, your energy expenditure decreases; adjust your routine accordingly.
08:57 🤔 Consider the trade-off of pushing for extreme leanness versus sustainable progress and well-being.
Jeremy isn't the hero we deserve, he's the hero we need.
4:21 woah
“They don’t tell you how crappy and low energy they feel” wish more influencers were more transparent. Nothing is as easy as it seems
Rest and water... U cant be in a deficit everyday
You dont feel crappy and low energy. I do not. And i was in deficit for 4 months everyday. If you still get enough carbs, you feel the energy.
As long as you drink enough water and sleep your 8 hours a day.
While you sleep, you don't eat and that helps on your calorie deficit.
One main thing about exercise is taking control of your time and diet.
Exactly! Curated content can be so disingenuous. I really appreciate this channel specifically because he encourages long term, gradual changes.
@@KleberD91 Get to atleast below 10% body fat. Its hard maintaining that because eat less your body literally thinks its dying eat more well your body fat is going to increase. Its just not sustainable long term
What I really like is you acknowledge that striving to get rid of love handles may not be for everyone. Especially since maintaining once you do lose them may be stressful and ultimately not worth it. Very helpful video!
Thanks for this video, Jeremy. I lift and do cardio 5 times a week, and can't touch my love handles. You have given me the motivation to eat better and work harder to lose them.
Really love how didn’t drag on “talking about” losing love handles and then ultimately leading your viewers to a website to “buy” how to lose your love handles just like every other professional trainer. Love the help and your work you’re doing brother. I feel that you use your platform to actually help your fellow man and woman achieve their goals, not out for anyone’s money or likes. Stay blessed man 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
This video should have wayyy more views. It’s so good, and I fear it’s been mistitled. It should just be called “How to burn fat and lose weight”. Just straight to the point.
Simple. Concise. Straight to the point. Thanks Jeremy
also no bullshits.
Thumbs up for the ending! I get constantly told, that I'm lean and look good, but I was fat my whole life and always struggle with my live handles. I keep training in a healthy amount, but I won't drive myself crazy and work on my insecurity. Thank you!
I only want to say, THANK YOU. I’ve been working out for a few months now and seeing the love handles not reducing in size was getting really frustrating. I know now that I need to be more patient and this process can last even a year.
The video is amazing, full of information and especially honest.
Thank you a lot!
Absolutely respect you for this video. I take the points you have given and the most important one for me was the last one; I have been consistent with the gym for about 4 months now and have slimmed down quite a bit, but I have been so obsessed with completely losing the belly fat that I ignored the gains I have made. This video placed things into perspective and I am thankful for that.
Same. I lost 183lbs so far and i am now hung up on getting to low 20% body fat. And i always forget how far ive come
0:47 woah
Thanks Jeremy. I have been starting this same routine and diet for the last 3 weeks. My wife has been a huge support. It definitely has been hard when one doesn't see the changes right away. But will take a lot of consideration on you mentioned at the end of this video. As well as focusing on lifting, cardio and nutrition. Thanks again
God bless u keep going ❤
you got this king
Love the honesty and the fact you don't sugar coat, loosing weight is hard and also very depressing when you hit a wall or feel your getting no where, just got to keep pushing and stay positive keep going people you got this
This is such good quality content! Love the calm voice, clear expectations of limits one must be aware of and in general doesn’t make workouts seem like a gruelling part of the day but more of a simpler addition among other activities. Very motivating!
I needed this video. Former DI athlete, veteran and now firefighter. Still in pretty decent shape wrt general population but I’ve lost it with 3 young kiddos. Need to lose 10-15 pounds at least. Thank you
damn bro you had hell of a life
This is the first video that makes complete sense as it covers so many areas. Well done and thank you!
This is a GREAT and realistic video. Thank you so much for this info. I have recently got back on the exercise/diet train, after YEARS of neglect. I was always in half decent shape in my 20's and 30's, but just let myself go as I got into my late 30's and now early 40's. Combine that with terrible eating habits, and heavy drinking. I am about 1 month into my new routine and have already seen some incredible improvements in my overall health. The key take away for me is GIVE IT TIME. As you say, it has taken years to build up this fat and poor physique; it will take time to lose it, and get back into your desired shape, or reach your goals. Don't get discourage people....start slow, and build your way up!! I started with steps.....and now up over 12k steps/day as well as 3x/week on the treadmill. Combine that with some weight training and a wicked diet I put together, and even my mental health has improved tremendously. Don't give up, and the only competition you have is YOU!! And you got this!! 😎😎😎 Thanks again for the video and you now have a new sub.
What I learned from this video is that I just need to keep going and do what helped me lose weight so far. I've been working out for almost 4 months now and have been eating somewhat healthily (less carbs, increased protein, occasional junk) and have lost 18 lbs. from 178 to 160. Every part of my body has shown signs of improvement except for my stubborn belly and my moobs. I've been overweight since I was a kid and all throughout my teen years and I'm now in my early 30s (not overweight anymore but just carrying that belly fat). Thanks for reminding me to keep pushing! And thanks for supplementing EBP guidelines in your videos
You lifting already? If not get some compound lifts going like StrongLifts or starting strength.
But yeah man I haven’t lifted for a very long time because of injuries initially and then laziness later. But started up three months ago, and while I know I have a long way to go, I’m super happy with my three months of progress.
Now just envision where you will be in a year, two years.. five years! 18 pounds from 178 in four months is great. Just need to put on some muscle and get your testosterone levels juiced again from some heavy squats, deadlifts and bench etc. The more muscle on your body the higher your metabolic rate since your muscles and lifting demand a good amount of caloric energy throughout the day to sustain and repair.
@@wethepeople8280 Yeah I do lift weights, but the weight of my dumbbells is limited because I workout at home, so I just try to do more reps. I have a little bit of social anxiety so it's a bit challenging going to the gym, so for now, I'm just looking to increase the weight of my dumbbells.
But man, my goal for now is to get a "flat" stomach. Having abs would just be a bonus. Good luck on your health journey!
The last few seconds of your video was deep because, I too am always obsessed with losing my love handles and annoyed I still have them. People tell me I am crazy because I am getting more broad and defined everywhere else... Didn't realize this until JUST last month and I have been working out, on and off, for 15 years. You are right man- I must take my time and it feels good to know I have improved everywhere else but argghhh damn stubborn love handles!
Great video.
I’m starting to see my actual abs at 152lbs, 12% body fat coming from 190lbs at my lowest point. I feel like the key was patience and time with small deficits. Crash dieting used to make me so hungry and go on a binge. Now I’m just eating like a regular person.
12%? You should’ve seen your abs before 15%. Either you’re overestimating or you’re a lot more ripped than you think
What’s your height
This gives me hope to keep pushing, I'm down from 195 to 170. Guess I should shoot for around 160 lbs to see mine lol
Lol, I got there by continuously bumping my activity levels. Got up to running about 25 miles per week, plus riding my bike to work every day. I remember thinking "So this is what it takes. How to these other people do it because it doesn't seem they do anything other than a regular gym routine". Anyway those days are gone, but I'm still in shape
@@E3T7 I said “actual Abs” meaning muscle looking like it’s right under the skin. At 15% it’s like that fake Abs with the 6 pack fat indentations. I could see the oblique gils as well now
The last part you mentioned about trade off & sacrifices we have to make for loosing love handles and all the Instagram models may not be natural, many influencers skip this part and make it feel like it’s our laziness that stand between loosing love handles or not.
The fact that it is hard to maintain it is clearly overlooked by them for their gains.
Thank you or the true honesty…❤
Great video! Diet is #1 of course . Doing moderate cardio helped get over the plateau for me. I was running hard on the treadmill, lost about 40 pounds from starting at about 225 and then hit a wall for like 2-3 months and wasn’t losing weight or my gut and love handle fat. Started doing incline walking with occasional sprints but moderate enough where I can carry a conversation. Within a month I see a big difference.
Can I do treadmill for like 2 hour on full incline on mid to high speed and max incline? Will it help me lose a lot of fat and love handles within a month while maintaining my diet accordingly: an apple or half and milk in breakfast, lunch can be fruit or some nuts, and dinner varies but one plate?
@@SMOOTH__________ within a month? No. For 2 hours on the treadmill a day? Thats overkill. Depending where you are in your fitness journey. If you are extremely overweight and can dial in your diet/nutrition with portion control along with consistent cardio of at least 30 mins a day, you could drop 30-40 pounds in a month. Once you lose the water weight, the weight loss slows down. Ultimately every day in the gym is like putting pennies in the bank. You won’t necessarily see the results on a day by day basis, but if you keep going and be consistent with it and your diet it will add up over months and years
@@da1ewok like I have love handles. Not too big like I’m just overweight not very. I’m 85 kg at 5,11. Plus, I won’t have much time for exercise due to work as there is barely any time
@@da1ewok I do have an issue with junk food however
very well said brother sustainability is what maters the most and is often ignored. I went through transformation twice losing love handles and now again I'm back with it.
38 pounds down in 5 months. My legs looking so much thinner but my love handles are taking the longest. Appreciate the video. Hit a 3 week wall but I’m finally starting to lose weight again. Going to keep grinding
lets fuckin go. give em hell.
That’s insane, great work brother.
Update??
@@BarryAllen-TheFlash 45 pounds down! Long process but I’m still going strong and trying hard. Love that stairmaster now
@@shrimpboy944 Damn bro. Good job keep going 👍💪.
I really need to start getting active again. Ever since covid I gotten really lazy and haven't got out the house as much, which made me gain weight and lose muscle.
Thanks so much for reminding me that I look very good even if I have something on my love handles. It's so easy to focus on what you don't have rather than appreciating all the good work you've put in over a long period of time! I appreciate you, brother!
The comment about the extra push at the end is so true. I reduced my cals to 1500 at the end of my cut to try and get completely shredded and I felt absolutely awful and my hormones were all messed up. Consider the trade off
Thanks for making this video. The step by step breakdown is so helpful. I especially appreciated your ending about trade offs. People don’t talk about that enough. It’s good to want to be healthy. It’s okay to want to look good. But we can take that too far when we’re comparing ourselves to unrealistic ideals, or when we don’t understand what’s required to attain that in our own circumstances. You’re not selling mirages, which is why I think you have the best channel for workout wisdom. Great stuff.
One of the best videos you’ve made yet. Just to the point and with good emotional intelligence too at the end
I’m 65 and am just trying to stay healthy. I walk 10K steps almost daily outdoors and love this. I hit the elliptical machine in Fat Burn mode for a quick 15 minute workout and burn right around 200 calories. I try to do this daily as well. I didn’t realize how weak my thighs were until I started the elliptical.. but they are getting stronger each day. I don’t have love handles but I do have the dreaded man boobs and I want to lose them desperately. I see results already and will keep on training. Thanks Jeremy..great video.
Do prisoner style pushups ..helps allot
The bit at the end was really what I needed ... I'm always going to have love handles but, I think I'm doing pretty good otherwise and rather than obsess over perfection, it's better just to be grateful for what you have.
Most of them are watching this by sleeping on bed😂
Look who's talking 😅
No
Laying on the bed
You got me😅
😂😅
Greetings from Singapore! I’ve always been skinny and struggle to put on weight while growing up, but as I aged and now as a 49 years old Asian woman I find that I’ve become a bit skinny fat in my belly as I sit all day in office. I’ve been lifting weights and training with a personal trainer for the last 6 months to build muscles & to gain weight, indirectly I’ve seen some progress in losing my belly and love handles but still have them. I was feeling a bit discouraged and decided to rewatch this video from you - thank you for your encouragement & reminding me the progress I’ve made so far in the last 1 year since I restarted exercising & weight lifting for 6 months.
Hey Jeremy, I just wanted to take a moment to applaud you! I am also a fitness professional and it’s so refreshing to see someone like yourself finally telling the truth about weight loss.
No quick fixed but just the reality and science of what it takes to reach a goal of losing your love handles. It was also fantastic that you emphasized how important it is to embrace all of the progress you’ve made along the way while not always looking for absolute perfection. Seriously I get so frustrated watching all the quick fix BS advertisement. This was such a breathe of fresh air. I’ve been in this business for over 30 years and have seen it all. Well done on just being an honest, caring fitness professional. I wish you all the success in the world!
👏👏👏 finally someone whos talks the truth he gives you the steps to lose the love handles and at the end he shows guys thst are ripped and tells u how hard it is to achieve and also people have different genetics...proud of this guy...
The second I saw love handles I run here to see the solution 🎉🎉🎉
Same
Same here as well
Probably the number one area everyone wants to get rid of. 😂
Same
@@invader1473definitely 😂 from my grandparents to my little students all are talking about their sides😂
my stretch marks around my old love handles are a sign of hard work, proud of them.
I went from 250 pounds to 195 by walking to work(I'm 6_2 and not a small frame). it was 3.3 miles each way, done four times because I was on a split shift. There were uphills involved. I would carry my work uniform including boots in a gym bag. When I started out the trek was an hour and fifteen minutes. When I quit years later it was down to 55 minutes. It didn't matter what I ate at that point. No changes to either diet or any other exercise. I wasn't ripped at all. I was THIN(for me).
Thanks so much man youre an absolute life saver I’ll come back to the comments on this video in the next 5 months and I’ll give you all an update on my journey!
I’ve made insane progression the last month following you. Downfall, during my cut I’m starting to feel so weak throughout my days. My 6 pack is peaking and love handles slowly dripping off, but I’m so tired😞
I’ve been so focused on tapping into that stubborn fat that I have been looking over my progress and have been cutting even more calories….
I’ve been tracking my nutrients and steps everyday… at 6ft 206lbs currently 34yrs old I’ve been eating 11,740 calories a week which works out to be 1,638 a day….workout 5 days and rest 2.
Lots of elite basketball, weight training and no cardio just 20min sauna at 200 degrees 3 times a week and 10min the other 4 days.
I’m averaging 103 grams of protein, 102 grams of carbs, and 42 grams of fat. Actual calories are 1,176……
I’m in sales so besides going to the park with my kid after work I don’t do hard labor but I am on my feet all day….
I feel I need to up my nutrients effectively upping my calories due to the lack of energy…. What do you suggest?
14grams of sugar and 11 grams of fiber on average a week. Definitely upping those
You are way too low on protein mate.
No wonder you feel tired as you are losing muscle and are too low on calories for someone your size.
I've been a bit out of the game for a bit, but that sounds very very low dude.
I'm 5ft 6, when i was training i was around 59-61kg, 10-12% body fat, fluctuating. I remember i was in a minor deficite, but i wasn't doing much cardio other than some 30 min walks , and not regularly. otherwise hitting the gym 1 day yes, 1 day no, and going properly full out on each session (read - push as hard as i can on first 2, get a spotter and go to failure, and 1 or 2 negatives after failure for my last set, each exercise). Sessions lasted around 1hr and 20mins.
Doing just that, which is most certainly less than you are doing, with less weight, i was consuming around 1700 kcal daily, and i was considering going upwards a bit
Job is deskwork, so no exercise there.
I'd definitely look into reworking your kcal my dude, up them by just 200, see how you feel.
FYI, I believe one handful of nuts of any kind(around 33g) is around 200kcal. although you probably better off increase fiber , sugar and carbs, so a banana, an apple, and another fruit should do the trick :)
this is the best and most honest fitness channel in You tube!
This video rocked. Hate workout videos as it feels I can never do it. This explains things great. I’m about to pick up a lot more walking!!! Thank you!
The part about not stressing about it too much at the end is definitely gold. Life is not only about that. And you definitely can look VERY good without lowering your bodyfat percentage to such low levels.
You are in a win win position when you have an active job and lifestyle that I can tell you for sure. It is like doing smth useful when waiting for someone) The process is much easier and natural while the result is the same compared to when you push yourself.
Personally, I've seen considerably more reliable results in fat loss by focusing on building muscle. Keeping my deficit 6 days a week, but steadily increasing by basal metabolic rate due to steadily increasing lean body mass helped me drop 65lbs of fat in around 8 months.
Always appreciate your content and info.
Mad respect! Great, honest, scientific information. I also very much appreciated your words at the end of the video about not obsessing over how we look, but to simply appreciate all the progress of becoming healthy!
I absolutely love how you explain everything in detail!❤❤💪🏾
Thank you! This obsession with getting "shredded" is ridiculous. Unless you're a professional body-builder or you just crave validation from strangers online, it has very little real-world benefit. If you have all your other health metrics in order (diet, exercise, intellectual stimulation, good sleep, and lower stress), 10%-20% body fat is not a problem.
Love the comment on the last 30 seconds of the video. I always wonder about genetics, and the work to accomplish that look. A big part is mental as we are our worst critic. I get compliments on my physique all the time but I can't look past the last bit of tummy fat I have. That said, there are some good tips here especially about not going to high of calorie deficit initially.
Your body is fierce friend. 👍
This is the most complete guide I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you very much
Best fitness video I’ve seen in a long time! Keeps it real without the fluff. You’re awesome bro 🤙🏽
Thanks for the positive outlook. Most of us do focus on the negative not the positive
Hey Jeremy. It's Jeremy here and I am 1 year and 8 months in of my body transformation journey. There have been some setbacks with injuries but I've lost 30lbs through the help of your videos. Thank you for all the help and insight. I appreciate it bro. 😤👊
Voov great. Congrats
I don't feel the need to comment that often, but i have to for this. Jeremy and his content were very easy to listen to and watch. Straight forward, honest, and well made.
This is brilliant Jeremy, I'm in this exact position and it's really been getting me down, carrying knee and back injuries making it difficult to do anything majorly active. This has really energised me to do something different starting tomorrow!
Tomorrow?
@@waynerichardson1051 new week, new start.
I never leave comments on things like this, but I definitely appreciate the way you break everything down in a realistic way. Thank you Bro
Jeremy, I really liked the way you present information. Even though I know that this video was an extended 'get my program' ad, it's still valuable info and was presented with very good supporting data and examples. Nothing in here was bad advice... all actually was balanced, temperate and understandable. Great work! I hope my videos get to this level of polished end result sometime soon. (and of course, I will continue to follow your channel).
Learn what the word 'ad' means.
I mean this in the most manly way possible... Jeremy, I love you buddy. Your content has great graphics, science and your delivery is honest and isn't overhyped, overly energetic "Mr Motivation" type guy. Good work bro! Your content is helping.
This was a ABSOLUTE great video. I’m a guy that was in shape for a number of years after I stopped playing basketball. I had 17% body fat I was lean six pack. I wasn’t big I wasn’t small just right where I wanted to be at 185. within the last two and a half years I got lazy and just didn’t wanna eat as healthy any more, drank what I wanted indulged and worked out less. I got to 221 the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life and said f that. Started a lil meal regimen my cousin put me in weighing my food working out more eating healthier and I’m down to 209 and couldn’t be happier. The video really showed me I have to stick to it and that places like my face and other parts will come off first before my abs return and he’s 1000% right because I’m actually starting to see it now. So great video man I appreciate the knowledge 🤙🏾✊🏾🙏🏾👌🏾
17% body fat but also six pack. I want to be you in the past, how can?
The best and honest information I have seen so far.
Thanks!!!
the message at the end was so well said, thank you ❤
Bro u r the truth for that last bit of self care/mental care most don't acknowledge the issues people deal with in the fitness n health world. I don't have issues but I empathize Good look on you mate
Love this channel for its honesty and no secrets hidden from us.
I had visible abs, got down to 11% body fat and I still had love handles. I didn't wanna go further because I felt like shit so I stopped. Genetics are a killer for some people and I just have to learn to love my love handles haha. Building a bigger back and shoulders to make them less relevant on my body.
You got down so low .. that is depressing. I hoped they would go away at 12-13% bodyfat.
@@datoolz0 everyone is different brotha but don't kill yourself over something you can't change. The only reason we don't like this part of our body is because we've been conditioned to not.
One of the best, scientific weight loss video, I have ever seen great job guys !!
5' 10" male...I honed in on 1,750 calories per day on May 1st and have been losing no more than 2 lbs per week on the BWS program since July 1st. I had to adjust the weight loss setting in my spreadsheet to reflect a lower weight loss when that started to slow down (it's now set to 0.5 lbs per week). I have lost 36 lbs since May 1st, including about 10% body fat; however, I have also gained over 3% muscle and dropped 5% more body fat since I started my weight training on July 1st (I also run or swim every day for 45 minutes). Using the best estimates, I have about 5% more body fat to lose, but my weight can fluctuate still. BWS predicts that at my rate I should reach my fat targets no later than mid-January, which works for me.
I been waiting for this for ages
Man, I have been following your push pull legs split for 2 years and i have seen much difference in my body. i would really love to see a newer version ( or updated version) of the PPL split , since you have conducted so much new research with the help of betty and honestly i am getting bored of my current workout plan. It would really help me to have a workout plan with the best exercises to grow each muscle group in the most effective and efficient way without overtraining them. I hope you’ll post a new PPL split in the near future. Btw love from india.
Hi can u plz give me pp, workout
its in the description my guy. 😃
Dude this video was super informative. Back by science. Thank you!
Brilliant video and especially the last point.
Case in point, I am someone who started out with the intention to lose my love handles and have my abs be visible (followed Jeremy's content even back then when his following was under 1 million subscribers). However, as a natural lifter, I very quickly realized that I had 2 options, it was either getting very lean and looking somewhat small for my size (along with other issues such as energy crashes etc) or I could hold some amount of belly fat in my love handles and lower abs region and look comparatively bigger and muscular in clothes while still having my abs be somewhat visible because I work them regularly.
Chose the second option and never looked back after that.
If anything, my love handles barely detract or make my physique look bad (that is until and unless I purposely stand in front of bad lighting).
you summed it up well my friend..Been desperate to get rid of them. Guess I will take the second option as well.
No because I’ve been on my game with losing weight and I overall wanted to lose my love handles and I wasn’t sure if what I was doing was right and so I came to this video and to hear him basically say everything I’m doing is right gets me so motivated and excited to keep going.🎉
'wherever the body stores fat first is where it will lose fat from last' 0:35
I SECOND THIS with my recent experience!!!
I just lost 30lb over the last 7 months, my aim has been 1lb a week. I'm 5'9, male, 26 years old. I was 205lb in Dec 2022 and I'm 174lb now in July 2023. The order that I lost weight is exactly the reversed order which I gained weight!
I first lost fat around my butt area when I went from 205lb to 190 lb, then I lost fat on my face, chin, chest (190lb -> 180lb). Finally my belly and love handles get smaller 180lb -> 174lb. I think I will lose the fat on my legs last since I gained them earliest.
So basically, I saw minimal improvement around my belly area from Dec 2022 to May 2023 when my weight went from 205lb to 180lb. I saw my belly areas get smaller significantly from June 2023 to July 2023 (now). My abs finally start to show now when I wake up before I eat, which I'm so happy about.
I'm aiming 165lb and maintain it, I'm gonna make it in two months or so!!!
One interesting story during the time I lost my butt fat. One day I got in the car, and I felt my view was significantly lower weirdly enough, and I had to adjust my chair up. I realized it's because I lost a lot of fat on my butt later when I was taking a shower .
I wish I knew about you when I started my fitness journey back in 2017. Would have saved me so much time. This guy speaks nothing but facts.
Calorie deficit to make the fat go away. Everyone has different parts of the body that store the most fat. If it’s love handles then it’ll be the last to go. But you gotta keep losing until gone 👍🏻
I basically walk one and a half to two hours every day while watching TH-cam and time flies fast, the power of multitasking!
Great video as always. Another thing that has been a big issue for me is not getting enough sleep. It seems to lead to my body wanting to hang onto that fat, perhaps due to heightened levels of cortisol stress hormone through the lack of sleep. Sleeping enough can be a fairly important step in achieving such a physique goal.
How come you’re not getting enough sleep? In my experience not enough sleep messes everything up in a big way. So, it’s critical to solve that problem.
Yes thought it was really strange. My bad sleep seems to correlate with a period when I am trying to lose weight.
I'm just getting back into my fitness journey and the back slides are a real struggle. But I drive on as best I can! I am a member of a gym and I have a trainer as well and have tried a few different home delivery food preparation services as well to manage the fast food craves... All in hopes of just getting some borderline and just over the line heallth issues under control!
Channels like yours let me know I can keep motivated and push on even when I don't see big gains or losses but the point is to maintain and embrace the progress more than anything else!
Thanks!!
Great information here as always. I had been in a bulk and then maintenance for a while so I developed what I call the "gut crack." I hate it. The worst part of bulking is my waist is always where I gain noticeable fat. I currently lift weights 4-5 times a week, but the only cardio I do is a short ten minute walk on the treadmill before I start training. My weight loss has slowed to a crawl even though my diet and training have been very consistent. It might be time to add some cardio into my routine and see if that kicks it back into gear.
Thanks for the informational video without pushing ads or trying to get me to buy something. It was super helpful. Definitely gonna start lifting more upper back and shoulders !
I lost a lot of weight for this so I look good at the pool and you ate absolutely right. I reached a point there it is getting harder and harder to lose more fat and my performance in the gym is starting to decrease and I am wondering if it's really worth it.
@OfficealJeremyEthierHi daddy 🤤
Very great job of explaining everything throughly . Will put this teaching to the test and appreciate your videos!
2:34 point noted!!
The positive vibe this guy gives! love it.
Save 10 mins of your life, summary, do cardio daily.
You should do this for more videos all of YT. Thank you for your service
doing too much without a proper muscle exercise makee you lose muscle more.

What a hero
😂
I love how your videos/contents so insightful. You just don’t make videos about workout, “you have to do this workout and that, etc.” but you also provide knowledgeable insights and scientific-based information. I am glad I subscribed to your channel. Keep it up! You’re helping a lot of people.
Video starts at 8:10
So far, he seems the most honest out of 99% of trainers.
I’m right at that final love handle stage of my cut. I’ve been losing 1lb per week for 8 weeks now. I’ve gotten down to this body’s fat % before. It’s a trade off, no love handles and always have to be conscious of what you eat. Or love handles? It becomes more of a psychological battle. I’m 62, in great shape, why should I care about love handles? Large ego I guess. 😃
The most compassionate video & advise ever. Thanks 😊 I should learn to appreciate the progress I've made all along

Watching this while eating a large bag of Doritos
ALL WHAT WEE NEEDED TO HEAR AND REACH OUR GOALS
Wait a second... Even if you burn less calories when doing weight lifting, you forgot to mention that after your lifting session your metabolism running high, meaning that you still burning calories days after hard weight lifting session.
I just came across your videos. Dude, you are just amazing. You explain so powerfully such complex topics where there are a lot of contradictions around them and where things work differently for different people. Seriously man, fantastic job, thank you so much!
I do weights,
But the only cardio I do is the wife.
Feel this
Your cardio sessions should be longer than 4 Mimutes. Try walking or running after your bedroom cardio
@@Volkskomissar 5 minutes actually.
