Good for you, but please don't stick with keto for the rest of your life. Carbs are an important part in your diet. It helps build atp in your muscles and is important for recovery.

Athleanx in 2013: you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time Every other youtuber: No you need to bulk and cut . . . . Every other youtuber in 2020: you know what maybe he was right
Juwan Evelyn he also thinks, or worse doesn’t call out, supposed natural lifters such as Kumail Nanjiani. Everyone has blind spots. Generally picture fit is better then most though. I still don’t like the over emphasis on any one macro ie protein. Nutrition just doesn’t work like that.
Because the other youtubers lost followers when they didn’t say what listeners want to hear, which is that unless you’re a newbie, building and burning at the same time won’t happen. AX went ahead and said it anyway.
@@flex8707 if you've been lifting for 4 years or so you aren't going to gain 10 pounds in a year. Bulking up is only going to make you fat and fat does not flex or produce force so there is no point in bulking unless you like being fat

I’m the definition of skinny fat. I’ve always been “thin” but not lean, I’m soft with zero muscle. Lately I’ve decided that I’d like to try and push my body to see if I can grow muscle. I suppose this video kinda confirms my intuition. I decided to start lifting and focus on legs, butt, back and shoulders. I kinda figured I have enough softness to use as energy on off days, I decided I would focus on protein intake and healthy fats while saving my carbs for training days. And decided to keep any cardio to 1 hour a week while training 4-5 times or 3 times if I do full body and really focus on compound movements. And since I’ve never had an eating disorder or metabolic damage I’d just focus on true hunger cues and ignore cravings except for obvious things like if I’m craving salt, I should probably pay attention to mineral intake and more salt etc.
For me I was always skinny as heck but I’m still a child I’m literally 14 and started my weight gain journey at 13 in quarantine. But I wasn’t active at all and I went by the motto “i have to eat more then I move so I don’t burn these calories” and I ate a quite good amount of proteins but then I went from good to eating shitty food now I’m over here complaining about all the fat I have... man
This is easy to fix i did weights and bulked up by eating lots of protein,beef jerky and fiber made the belly fat melt off. Days before weight training i ate carbs i have bigger arms and legs yet not starving and waist shrinking.Im no longer skinny fat oh and limit cardio but if over 25% do hiit cardio 10min
This is damn near exactly the plan I developed for myself over the years, just putting together what I picked up here and there along the way. Didn't really have as much of my macros in protein as I should've till I started watching you, though!

Thank you for the great videos!
When I was following your guidelines, I was increasing my lifts five pounds per week, and seeing great results. I got complacent and fell off the wagon, and when I restarted my training I didn't quite adhere to these guidelines. I haven't noticed the gains in strength, and it seems like my fat loss has slowed.

Support muscle growth with increasing volume and intensity. Volume being simply reps, sets, or weight. Increasing anyone will boost volume as volume is a cubic, multiplicative, calculation. Intensity is how close you go to failure. It should feel difficult with each increase in volume as to maintain the level of difficulty or slightly increase it before adaptations make it feel easier. Basically, volume is the dial and intensity is the determining factor when to turn that dial and by how much.
Appreciate your video length and always getting to the point. Some youtubers just throw in useless facts to lengthen their vids. Keep up the good work!!
I swear, body recomposition is possible! In 2 months, I dropped from 240 to 227lbs. My goal is 195 but this is still a huge step. I've lost 3 inches off my stomach and watched how my chest, shoulders, arms, and legs have grown bigger. My advice: Eat at a calorie deficit, lift weights targeting every muscle group x2 a week, do your preferred cardio. I like walking, so I'll go for 45-60 min walks If you do this right, you'll see results!
I would simplify things and explain how body recomp worked for me: About 200-300 kcal deficit on ALL DAYS (maintance were 2700 kcal +/- so I went with about 2450 kcal +/- as slight deficit). I did this because I am kinda more fatty type of guy. Training: PPL or PHUL Style workout where you alter heavy weights/less reps with muscle hypertrophy style training less weight/more reps. Switching allowed me to go to gym more constantly and I had shorter breaks on hypertrophy days which helped to reduce body fat and I could actually still push myself and I felt my muscles burning during 4x12 for example (Go for 8-15 reps on those days). And I actually gained strength on compound lifts which I did only on heavy weight days, during hypertrophy days I stayed with more isolated movements and machines. Eating: I will not talk about proper eating here since I assume most of people going for this will understand preparing your food and counting kcal by now. So just little bit of tip from me. Buy protein and aminoacids to get your protein intake as high as possible and to hepl with recovery because it will be tough since you will be on kcal deficit. Try to aim for about 1,6-2,2g per kg of your bodyweight. Throw some jogging, walking, cycling, swimming etc. here and there on your day off. But not too much, just when you feel like it. I did martial arts but was exhausted a lot. And of course don´t forget to drink a lot of water and most important - SLEEP for recovery. You will need good quality sleep for this type of routine.
I've been doing this without knowing but not implementing the calorie deficit and calorie maintanance days... Only been on calorie deficit most of the days. I will try this approach... Patience is the key... thanks for the info!
GameForce so for starters I’m 151lbs and 5’4 feet tall I been trying to get rid of fat and also gain muscle at the same time so I been eating 1,800 calories deficit everyday and workout 5 days a week weights and 20 min hiit resistance cycling everyday. I been doing weights for 3 months now almost and just started adding cardio everyday and still no fat loss changes and only sum muscle growth. I’m mainly trying to loose fat but it seems to be the same since I started how come ? I also eat atleast 100-130 protein everyday that I can and get 8 hours of sleep. Basically does my Routine sound good or is something wrong?
@@maryyonda6953 they say 1 gram of protein per body weight but I don't think it needs to be exact. But I've also seen many fitness people say that cardio definitely hurts your muscle growth. More muscle growth does mean more calories you naturally burn (better metabolism). It sounds like you're hitting a plateue, maybe try reducing your calorie intake by 100 to 200 calories, and do light cardio only. Im 5'4 as well and was at 155lbs peak and now 135lbs. I stuck to 1600 calories for a while and then reduced it to 1400. I am thinking of reducing my calories again as I'm hitting another platue.
I already tried to do that, I train 5x/week If I eat close to calorie maintenance I almost don't lose weight, sometimes ZERO. That's why I do Intermittent Fasting. I'm at 1700 Kcals Maintenance is at 2000. Maybe it's still better to reduce weight loss to try and build a little bit more muscle ? I think these questions are difficult to answer because we'all different, we don't all respond to insulin or carbs the same way than others. I eat 30% carbs that's, I think, why I manage to lose all my fat, 45Kg so far. You're so right though about everything, I do almost all you say in the video. Insane work dude, thanks a lot !
I was trying to do this then I lost 20lbs and my body started to really fight me for it. My metabolism slowed, do to the lack of calories I was consuming. I no longer had the energy to workout like I did before and instead of craving my next workout it became a painful thought. My body was physically and mentally fighting me. So I just settled for minimal workouts until I reach the weight I want to be, then I can bulk up from there
I think this is false. You have to be in a deficit, still do resistance training but get your protein in and your other macros, the right amount to build muscle.
I'm doing it and it can be a challenge to balance activity and food to decrease fat while increasing muscles. My results vary but since I track them I can easily readjust if something isn't going the way it was supposed to.
What if I workout everyday? I workout everyday except sunday, and obviously I have to do cardio on weighted workout days, so basically I have to eat more and less at the same time?
tyvm for your videos (even though some said is repetitive idc) I finally understand it with this video keep the great job and I'm hoping u will get reach the 1M soon u deserve alot more views and subs 💜
I was skeptical on recomp at first, but getting rid of cellulite on fasciae and strengthening the primary muscles on the body's fasciae definitely would fall in line as a recomposition strategy. Seems to work best for legs based on what i've tried so far.
This does work as I just realized this is exactly what I have been doing lol not even knowing. I was skinny fat so this worked for me. It was hard as hell and still kinda is but results are very rewarding. This girls I’m kinda seeing can’t keep her hands off me when I pass by her 😝 love the videos respect ✊
I’m trying to do this I’m still fairly new to training I’ve been doing calisthenics for about 6 months now and my main goal is to lower body fat and get a fairly lean 6 pack
Basically you should keep maintaining your weight each week, do resistance training, eat nutritious food containing fiber, vitamins, minerals, and decent amount of protein and healthy fats, minimize refined and processed carbohydrates, keep check to your salt intake, cut down alchohol. Let's say your weight is 160 lbs, you could lose 5-6 pounds by being in caloric deficit and do all these things, then be in caloric surplus later to gain back the weight but that time by adding muscle instead of having fat at same weight. However when you're in caloric deficit you're losing little bit of muscle and workouts are usually harder. With calorie maintance you're shredding little bit of fat, and building little bit of muscle. At the end of the day, it comes to the same.. both ways you'll replace fat with muscle. It all depends which approach you prefer to take. Having calorie maintance surely takes longer to lose fat but spares more energy for muscles to repair and doesn't put you in much risk of losing muscle unless you're going overboard with training which should be taken in fact as well.
so just a quick summary. Eating 2lb/per pound protein or more is essential to do body recomposition, and the the output and input should be almost the same. Which means that we can build muscle and loss fat at the same time. Do you think body recomposition is better than bulking up and then cutting ? Great video,man
I don't think cycling calories makes a difference, neither will cardio. Just eat at around maintenance. Eating over maintenance one day will likely make you more hungry the next day and doing cardio on the days you are eating less is not a good idea for appetite either
Honestly.. I miss that "it depends", it seems we have more options, with this "ideally" it means we only have one ideal option, but we learning something new everyday, so if you ask me which is better for picturefit well.... It depends 😁
How I See It I started training fasted last week. I only usually had stims and some whey isolate beforehand anyway. Even so I’m finding it harder going. I’d like to keep it up for a while since I’m at the same time trying IF and want to eat further into the evening (so cannot in the morning at workout time regardless)
Yup 1-1.5 grams protein per lb, keep carbs before 5p, lots of greens and hydration is continuous, if you do cardio do after workout. Also try 14hr intermittent fasting then 15 up to 16. Get it
I heard some guy lost 12kg in just one month by following diet plan from *Next Level Diet*, so I tried that too. Although I didn't lose that much, I could say this thing really works and it's definitely worth trying
Regular home workouts works but It takes too much time.. so I did it along with fasting. It worked but I feel like shi, don't know if it affected my health but I feel fine now
2 years ago before covid i lost 30kg from 130 to 100 i also felt my muscles getting bigger aswell as i could do 10 reps of push ups when in the past i could barely do 2, after covid came i became 130 again and out of shape for being scared of covid at first then became lazy . Because of your video its been 2 months ive been working out again bcs i felt my body felt super out of shape bcs i barely go out bcs of covid , so far im 123kg ,thanks man .
Lean muscle mass is the body's most effective fat burning tool so building muscle alone will increase your fat burning potential. It's not hard to do both at the same time when you can achieve both by only doing one.
I've been working on my body recomp for 2 years now, and my weight loss has totally stagnated twice and I've even put on weight. I was down to 200 from 280, but went back up to 225. Now down to 215. The process feels so agonizingly slow
@@IMJDI ok. thanks!! Could you help me with a doubt? I been reading that long term fast(2-3 days) is good for muscle, health benefits and fat loss, my question is if a can do it and when I reached the time should I start working out or should I break the fast first? Sorry for my bad english im not native speaker
@@joseluisalexandermunozroco240 That is all up to you. I personally do not fast and eat 3 big meals and 1 protein snack before bed a day so I have enough energy at all times (especially for workouts). Always prioritize energy for your workouts over fasting if you want to benefit the most from muscle growth/preservation. Your english is fine btw :)

i have done this for 2 years, I am very low body fat, and still getting better results in every exercise everytime
Me: I should be working out right now
Picture fit: nope I just posted
-how--
-it depends
-ok, then wh--
-ideally
I've been doing this without knowing but not implementing the calorie deficit and calorie maintanance days... Only been on calorie deficit most of the days. I will try this approach... Patience is the key... thanks for the info!
Some says this subject is quite repetitive, and it is, but still it is a very clear recap in a few minutes of what to do for a beginner, good job
I've been at body recomp for 100 days. I see results. I lost 20 pounds and gained a lot of muscle in the profess. I still have a bit of a fat to lose.
I been trying body recomp for a while and nothing has changed do you mind answering some of my questions to get me on the right track ?
@@maryyonda6953 sure what are your questions
GameForce so for starters I’m 151lbs and 5’4 feet tall I been trying to get rid of fat and also gain muscle at the same time so I been eating 1,800 calories deficit everyday and workout 5 days a week weights and 20 min hiit resistance cycling everyday. I been doing weights for 3 months now almost and just started adding cardio everyday and still no fat loss changes and only sum muscle growth. I’m mainly trying to loose fat but it seems to be the same since I started how come ? I also eat atleast 100-130 protein everyday that I can and get 8 hours of sleep. Basically does my Routine sound good or is something wrong?
@@maryyonda6953 they say 1 gram of protein per body weight but I don't think it needs to be exact. But I've also seen many fitness people say that cardio definitely hurts your muscle growth. More muscle growth does mean more calories you naturally burn (better metabolism). It sounds like you're hitting a plateue, maybe try reducing your calorie intake by 100 to 200 calories, and do light cardio only.
Im 5'4 as well and was at 155lbs peak and now 135lbs. I stuck to 1600 calories for a while and then reduced it to 1400. I am thinking of reducing my calories again as I'm hitting another platue.
I started going gym 3rd day wish me luck your videos help alot so much info
I am meeting all of the requirements, however i struggle with insomnia. Thats the inly thing holding me back. Hopefully i get over this!
here after your DOMS video, and i must say the production quality underwent a MASSIVE GLOWUP ^_^
I already tried to do that, I train 5x/week If I eat close to calorie maintenance I almost don't lose weight, sometimes ZERO.
That's why I do Intermittent Fasting. I'm at 1700 Kcals Maintenance is at 2000. Maybe it's still better to reduce weight loss to try and build a little bit more muscle ?
I think these questions are difficult to answer because we'all different, we don't all respond to insulin or carbs the same way than others. I eat 30% carbs that's, I think, why I manage to lose all my fat, 45Kg so far.
You're so right though about everything, I do almost all you say in the video.
Insane work dude, thanks a lot !
I was trying to do this then I lost 20lbs and my body started to really fight me for it. My metabolism slowed, do to the lack of calories I was consuming. I no longer had the energy to workout like I did before and instead of craving my next workout it became a painful thought. My body was physically and mentally fighting me. So I just settled for minimal workouts until I reach the weight I want to be, then I can bulk up from there
Love the content 💪💪💪💪
Keep it coming 💥👌🏻🎥🎥🎥
What happened at 0:06?
I assume you aren’t watching the god of fiber/ laser eye vision/ coach GREG DOUCETTE ifbb PRO
He does intros like that 😆
Jan Me oh
Protein
I think this is false. You have to be in a deficit, still do resistance training but get your protein in and your other macros, the right amount to build muscle.

PictureFit: "Get your Protein"
I don't know who this Ramsey feller is but I like him.
@@PictureFit an mma fighter
I’m currently hitting PRs on my major lifts while being 30 lbs lighter! No steroids needed! Just a year of hard work on and off lol
My maintenance goal works out to near 2500 calories per day.. That seems much more than I normally eat?
I'm doing it and it can be a challenge to balance activity and food to decrease fat while increasing muscles. My results vary but since I track them I can easily readjust if something isn't going the way it was supposed to.
What if I workout everyday?
I workout everyday except sunday, and obviously I have to do cardio on weighted workout days, so basically I have to eat more and less at the same time?
Stay near maintenance intake.
PictureFit thx
Appropriate deficit & high protein & training harder is truly the only thing that matters.
watching your videos prom 4-5 years but subscribed today 😂😂 even i am surprised
You nailed it again!!! Great video.
tyvm for your videos (even though some said is repetitive idc) I finally understand it with this video keep the great job and I'm hoping u will get reach the 1M soon u deserve alot more views and subs 💜
I was skeptical on recomp at first, but getting rid of cellulite on fasciae and strengthening the primary muscles on the body's fasciae definitely would fall in line as a recomposition strategy. Seems to work best for legs based on what i've tried so far.
Eating close to maintenance while tracking protein works for me, so this video is absolutely right. nutrition does matter
This does work as I just realized this is exactly what I have been doing lol not even knowing. I was skinny fat so this worked for me. It was hard as hell and still kinda is but results are very rewarding. This girls I’m kinda seeing can’t keep her hands off me when I pass by her 😝 love the videos respect ✊
Damn this video is the answer to what I’ve been searching for. Thanks a lot!
That was a great video!
I’m trying to do this I’m still fairly new to training I’ve been doing calisthenics for about 6 months now and my main goal is to lower body fat and get a fairly lean 6 pack
Basically you should keep maintaining your weight each week, do resistance training, eat nutritious food containing fiber, vitamins, minerals, and decent amount of protein and healthy fats, minimize refined and processed carbohydrates, keep check to your salt intake, cut down alchohol. Let's say your weight is 160 lbs, you could lose 5-6 pounds by being in caloric deficit and do all these things, then be in caloric surplus later to gain back the weight but that time by adding muscle instead of having fat at same weight. However when you're in caloric deficit you're losing little bit of muscle and workouts are usually harder. With calorie maintance you're shredding little bit of fat, and building little bit of muscle. At the end of the day, it comes to the same.. both ways you'll replace fat with muscle. It all depends which approach you prefer to take. Having calorie maintance surely takes longer to lose fat but spares more energy for muscles to repair and doesn't put you in much risk of losing muscle unless you're going overboard with training which should be taken in fact as well.
Hey, do you have a video regarding going back to training due to layoffs?
(Deloading or Medical circumstances)
Start with less weight than you can do, and progress slowly by adding 2,5kg to every lift, every workout.
Eat high protein and at a slight surplus.
so just a quick summary. Eating 2lb/per pound protein or more is essential to do body recomposition, and the the output and input should be almost the same. Which means that we can build muscle and loss fat at the same time. Do you think body recomposition is better than bulking up and then cutting ? Great video,man
Nice content Jeff!
I was hoping you talk about sugar. If you need less sugar intake as well. But, well! There is enough infos in this video to make my program
I swear this is your 6th body recomp explanation video
Good content bro 💪👌💪
I don't think cycling calories makes a difference, neither will cardio. Just eat at around maintenance. Eating over maintenance one day will likely make you more hungry the next day and doing cardio on the days you are eating less is not a good idea for appetite either
"be patient"
Now I am sad.
Could you please do a remake of this video with updated tips and tricks aswell as newer research?
Honestly.. I miss that "it depends", it seems we have more options, with this "ideally" it means we only have one ideal option, but we learning something new everyday, so if you ask me which is better for picturefit well....
It depends 😁
So where’s the TDDE calculator
Weird, I had it added in the description but didn't save. Thanks for heads up! Added now.
whynot2662 just get out and work hard and eat right
Gonna do this while fasting. Just eat into my surplus post workout. Slight Deficit on cardio/rest days.
How I See It I started training fasted last week. I only usually had stims and some whey isolate beforehand anyway. Even so I’m finding it harder going. I’d like to keep it up for a while since I’m at the same time trying IF and want to eat further into the evening (so cannot in the morning at workout time regardless)
Butbutbut... Don't you need nutrients during ur off days for recovery?
Of course. You can still get plenty of nutrients and plenty of high quality protein in a deficit.
Thank you Picture "ideally" Fit for this video
Surplus on training days, deficit on rest days. What if I train 5-6 times a week though. What’s the point of the deficit
Then Stay at a deficit and eat lots of protein
Yup 1-1.5 grams protein per lb, keep carbs before 5p, lots of greens and hydration is continuous, if you do cardio do after workout. Also try 14hr intermittent fasting then 15 up to 16. Get it
I heard some guy lost 12kg in just one month by following diet plan from *Next Level Diet*, so I tried that too. Although I didn't lose that much, I could say this thing really works and it's definitely worth trying
Trying to recomp but i noticed that lost both fat and muscle.. Gonna have to rethink my approach.. Thanks for the vid..
As always... you're awsome! Thanks!
Lose fat and gain muscle is everyone's dreams and im happy its possible
Regular home workouts works but It takes too much time.. so I did it along with fasting. It worked but I feel like shi, don't know if it affected my health but I feel fine now
Got any videos for like boxers and Muay Thai fighters how to gain muscle
That website is fucking AMAZING !!
i did body recomp without even trying to
Noice.
2 years ago before covid i lost 30kg from 130 to 100 i also felt my muscles getting bigger aswell as i could do 10 reps of push ups when in the past i could barely do 2, after covid came i became 130 again and out of shape for being scared of covid at first then became lazy . Because of your video its been 2 months ive been working out again bcs i felt my body felt super out of shape bcs i barely go out bcs of covid , so far im 123kg ,thanks man .
I'm still able to do body recomp but I choose a diet I'm unsure now
Thanks for the great video. What about doing 35-45 min of cardio before each weight training session (4-5 times per week)?
no, it will LOSE YOUR MUSCLE WHEN YOU'RE DOING 45 MINS CARDIO BEFORE A TRAINING SESSION.
Doing cardio before strength training is bad since it exhausts you of energy and because of that you won't be able to lift as much
Thank you very much for this video
Man I been putting on muscles but crazy thing is I have been on same weight since a month lol I'm not even maintaining or counting calories
Lean muscle mass is the body's most effective fat burning tool so building muscle alone will increase your fat burning potential. It's not hard to do both at the same time when you can achieve both by only doing one.
I've been working on my body recomp for 2 years now, and my weight loss has totally stagnated twice and I've even put on weight. I was down to 200 from 280, but went back up to 225. Now down to 215. The process feels so agonizingly slow
Just keep pushing bro
literally doing cardio on a recomp as I watch this
Can I do jump rope? And how much time
@@joseluisalexandermunozroco240 Yeah probably, you'll burn way more calories doing that than traditional cardio tho so I'd keep it relatively short
@@IMJDI ok. thanks!!
Could you help me with a doubt?
I been reading that long term fast(2-3 days) is good for muscle, health benefits and fat loss, my question is if a can do it and when I reached the time should I start working out or should I break the fast first? Sorry for my bad english im not native speaker
@@joseluisalexandermunozroco240 That is all up to you. I personally do not fast and eat 3 big meals and 1 protein snack before bed a day so I have enough energy at all times (especially for workouts). Always prioritize energy for your workouts over fasting if you want to benefit the most from muscle growth/preservation. Your english is fine btw :)
@@joseluisalexandermunozroco240 yes! I suggest you do hiit cardio with it, burns like hell but its worth it
U gonna hit 1 million subscribers
How about if you have a diet high in protein, moderate in carbohydrates and low in fats?
