I have a restrictive binge eating disorder that I've had to go to therapy for. Recently I've been working on body recomp, but I can't get past the fixation on the scale which makes me want to restrict my calories. After 3 weeks of no movement on the scale and listening to this podcast, I've fearfully increased my calories to 1650 to 1700 (focusing more on protein) and my body began to shed weight. Wtf?! I'm trusting the process.
Yesterday my roommate told me that she wanted to lose weight and that she was going to go on a "diet" and eat less. She was already eating only 1000 calories a day and wanted to eat less, it was crazy, I just said nooooo. Look I recommend this podcast, listen to it please!!!
If you friend gets into ketosis, she can be successful. Once her body transfers over to burning fat, she will have unlimited supply and she will feel great, but if she does the standard American diet with lots of carbs. No way!
@@mramerica4749That’s only if she’s taking in little to no carbs. And that depends on if she can maintain that lifestyle. No diet is a one size fits all.
@@AmaroRay4258 it’s definitely no for everyone, but getting into ketosis will give her a 100% success rate, fixing anyone insulin resistance will fix their metabolic rate with hormones. After doing that for a while she can introduce some carbs, and see how the body feels. The majority of weight loss issues are due to hormones, carnivore is also good, but harder for some people. When not eating sugar or carbs, your insulin stays level, this help the body but fat and keep hormones level out.
@@mramerica4749No. Utilizing nutritional fats is not the same as liberating energy from adipose tissue. Regardless of content of diet, undereating will cause metabolic adaptation.
Here’s a way of looking at it that may help: There’s a certain level of stress the body can handle without wanting to remove muscle from your frame. Training is a stress, caloric deficits are a stress, lack of sleep, work / career life, relationships, not being able to relax…. All can be stressors. We need to strike a balance between all the stress inputs in our lives to achieve the best end results.
I’ve cried plenty of nights hearing trainers tell me I must be cheating or lying😢I lost 120lbs with excessive cardio and now my knees are suffering. Switched to strength training and HITT but have only been fueling with 1000 cal or less a day. Plus I work a job that gets about 7k steps per shift. 10 years later, still fat, great endurance, and just now finding someone to teach me about reverse dieting. So much physical and mental damage has been done…
I hear you fella! I get pissed off as well with over 20 years being told bullshit. The endless Mantra of “move more and eat less” My problem is I had a toe amputated, and cannot walk any distance of more than 1/4 mile without my foot swelling up and limping…. Which then takes my hips out of alignment and gives me sever sciatica. I cannot do cardio, running or any form of intense movement. I’ve tried keto - and actually lost weight but was miserable and the diet was massively expensive. I’ve tried to reduce all sugar. But still had this belly and inflammation. So tried 19:5 intermittent fasting and only Whole Foods - still didn’t shift weight. 2 months ago, I listened to the podcast, with Dr Lyon - which said increase protein and do some basic weights. Game changer!
@@Amanda.c91 I lift weights 3 times a week, have dumbells and barbells at home. Managed to do a full body recomp and preserve muscle. As I add muscle, it tackles and processes any last fat deposits. Other than body shape, I no longer take anti-inflammatories and pain killers daily.
I was at the same weight for 3 months, decided to bump calories up to near maintenance by adding in a breakfast and now my weight is dropping even though I have added 200-300 calories to my intake.
It’s crazy how we’ve shifted from overeating to under eating being the reason for fat gain - the whole “fasting “ And calorie restriction is being abused! Thanks for shedding MORE light on this
Word to the heavy guys. I've naturally had a slow metabolism. I tried the cutting and cardio journey and hated how weak I was as well as seeming to grow in how fat I was! Eventually I leaned into understanding that I'm a big guy and committed to eating to feed my strength training. My whole attitude has changed, I feel happier, I'm getting stronger and I look better then on my constant caloric deficit and cardio days.
As of mom of four children and 39 and 1/2 years old I am so committed to being in the best shape of my life by the time I'm 40. I have always been interested in health and fitness but feel like now is the time to take it up a notch. Thanks for the podcast. I'm listening everyday.
I had to learn this the hard way, currently doing a reverse diet & am fighting the mindset that I was brought up in & misinformation thrown on women even still. Went to a couple nutritionists through the military healthcare ( as a dependent) & every single nutritionist gave me the same piece of paper with a bs “diet plan” & was told recently no one got fat eating salads & that I should just eat salads. Thankful for you guys, you guys have changed my mindset with training & nutrition. I got my husband to watch & now his buddies are watching to learn what we’ve all been lied about.
Yes, finally a podcast about chronic under eaters like myself, I’m excited to listen to this one hopefully Mind Pump can help with my under eating. Mind Pump Strong!!!! 💪
This episode arrived at the right time for me. I’m currently reverse dieting after years of under eating and yo-yo dieting. Great to know I’m on the right path and already feeling so much better
You guys are basically the biggest part of my night time routine, I always fall alseep listening to your voices, even though it is a bit weird to say that 😅 I want to thank you for shifting my mindset around fitness because it can be so confusing for so many people, including me! I currently started going to the gym again after 5 years so RGB would be a blessing😇 Much love from Cyprus!
thankful for this podcast, been following your advice since mid 2022, went from 1800 restricting foods and overtraining to 2400 calories, 3 days of strength training, no restrictions and a overalls a better mindset. currently running phase 3 of anabolic on a small cut before i start another surplus. & i know my relationship with food has improved because i have not had any binge episodes like when i used to restrict before. thank you for all your knowledge and wisdom 🫶🏽
Reformed self proclaimed fitness fanatic here, ran into the issue constantly for about a decade. Live and learn. Or just listen to the golden nuggets of wisdom dispensed here and do it right 😂Nice episode guys!
Great show. I’ve struggled with this some myself. In fact, right now I am 5’6 (almost) and weigh 212 lbs. I lost 30 pounds by getting more active and dropping calories to 1750. I have since stopped losing weight. Going to start strength training as soon as I am healed from hernia surgery, and I’ll be bumping up the calories.
Accidentally i found this channel and loving it all the information you put every time. I'm a single women who just finished the yoga certification and helping women to improve their health and fitness. I wanted to thank you guys because this channel really helped me to improve my knowledge and confidence.
Another epic episode of the world’s top exercise, fitness, and entertainment podcast. Always appreciate your willingness to cover critical topics again and again. Always a fresh spin and it never gets old! 💪🏻
I had to have been under eating without even knowing. Switched to weight training and eating everything I could put in front of me, I dropped 40 lbs in 6 months and got shredded!
This episode is GREAT! Im a registered dietitian and have incorporated these principles into my practice for clientele trying to lose weight/gain muscle. I have been running a MAPS type program I was paying ALOT of money for and I’m still stuck at only 1700 calories but have goal of 2000 for maintenance. I completed it and looking for new program so shamelessly wanting the bundle…this is actually the bundle I’ve been waiting for.
I just upped my calories because I wasn't seeing any results. Doing MAPS 15 and walking 8-10k/day. I got to the point after 6 weeks I was always hungry at the end of the day so clearly my body needed more.
After listening to you guys for so long and i just can't rely your information as well as you can. I showed my wife this episode and she said 'oh that makes sense ' Now I'm showing her old episodes . This is gold. So happy
This has helped me more than you know. I now realize why eating 1000 or less in calories a day was never serving me and it has changed my mind set. Thank you.
Finding this podcast/channel has been a God send! I am now 2 years out of my college athletics career, and I wish he NCAA put more of a focus on overall nutrition and what habits are healthy vs. unhealthy. The cameras, media, earning a position and "looking the part" is so much bigger in the NCAA than sustainable health and strength. This leaves those who turn the chapter with terrible concepts of what health should look like and how to achieve it. I am grateful for you all and your intellect- I learn more every day on what healthy strength looks like.
After getting married and becoming a dad, my training fell off a cliff. I lost muscle, gained fat. When I started getting back on the train, I was on a crazy calorie cut and weight lifting thinking I could burn fat and build muscle like that. So glad I found you guys so I can get my programming and nutrition on the right track to stay in shape and chase this kiddo around! Thanks guys
@@davidjarzynka4760 Exactly what I typed. Married men are usually out of shape. Many have lost the drive to pursue other women because they believe they found "the one." So, they become complacent. Not all because the world has millions of married people. Just from my observations. Anyhow, congrats on your accomplishments.
@morbidcorpse5954 I think youre confusing correlation vs causation. Relationships don't make people fat. Poor diet and lack of physical activity make people fat. The Ironman World Champ is a married woman. World's strongest man is in a long term relationship. All 3 of the guys who host the podcast are married and have kids. For the vast majority of people, becoming obese or even just putting on 10 lbs is a product of little decisions every day to not eat right or exercise. In or out of a relationship that is true.
Before I found you guys, I had lost ~40 lbs with poorly programmed lifting and lots of fasting. Found you guys and have since added intentional, healthy carbs for the first time in years and a better (but maybe sub-optimal) lifting plan. The results have been amazing! Much more definition and strength. Thanks, MP crew 💪
This video is so valuable! I started lifting weights the last 12 months, initially I did increase overall protein and calories but by month three I was tired of eating and began underrating. It effected the energy levels during workouts, I was tired and my body didn't look good, I still had body fat because I wasn't fueling myself for muscle gain. Now the last three weeks Ive been progressively eating more but it is really hard to eat more without feeling too full. any tips on how to consume more?
I've been guilty of undereating for so long and didn't really realize it. Listening to this podcast has finally started to change that and I'm seeing the difference. Thanks for all the great content.
That's me! I wasn't progressing ,stall muscle growth,the moment I up my calories,I'm starting to get better pump and growth,more strength and recovery!!
This episode was great a great watch! It really resonated with me because I was under-eating and working out way too hard for the longest time since I was in my teens and couldn’t figure out why. It’s a very unhealthy mentality that I had to work through, so as I got older, I am able to eat enough and see the physical changes I want. Right now looking for the strength gains with MAPS Powerlift!!!
Thank you for this! I’ve fallen into this trap and couldn’t figure what was going on. I really hope people appreciate all the great knowledge these guys share…for free! Thank you for an amazing podcast.
Man oh man have I learned and experienced this the hard way by crashing my calories really low hoping to lose weight. Ended up just looking like a fluffier version of myself but 20lbs lighter. Mind you I was even lifting as well 😅
I want to thank you for the valuable nutritional advice shared on the podcast. It has been a great help to improve my well-being. Additionally, I am excited about the possibility of winning the program you are raffling off. Thank you for always providing such information! valuable!
Great episode. I am with you guys in being disappointed that this hasn’t become more conventional thinking. After a lot of years of hearing the opposite, it is great to hear this message consistently on this podcast and would be great to hear it more in general.
Really nice episode. I always try to spread this mentality to not decrease food like crazy to lose body weight. Few people around me believed and got surprised how increasing food helped in the gym, sleep, e.g.
Four years into listening to this podcast and watching videos. Just turned 50 and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in...I owe a lot of that to the three of you. You guys rock. Can't say enough good things about this podcast.
I'm a 105 lb female... I lift heavy and don't do any cardio longer than 4 minutes (I do intervals once a week though for cardiovascular health)... I could never survive on less than 1500 calories a day, let alone 1000... That's crazy... I eat between 1800-2000 calories a day, heavy on the carbs! Edit: I wish I could find resources in my area where I could have testing done and could be followed by a team like Mind Pump but I'm not a professional athlete, just a "gym goer" and where I live there are no resources for us. Edit #2: I've watched all kinds of podcasts and you're the only ones who make sense. I tried it for myself a few months ago and everything you said has worked for me.
Always mind blowing listening to your content! Where were you guys 10 years ago?!😢 been listening to you guys for like 6 months now and bought a couple of your products but man it’s hard to follow when I’ve been conditioned to not eat to fast to cut this and that in order to get in shape. How can I break out from my old paradigm to take in this new knowledge? It’s so hard to in a sense of adapting these new information but I have a lot of hope now. Omg I would love to ask my questions but it will take a whole episode if I try to join the quah!!! Lol anyways cheers to you guys for making a difference. Shaking the ground for sure! Thanks gentlemen!
Oh yeah !! I needed this. I am at a super frustrated state where I'm working out 90 to 100 mins a day and eating very less (around 1000cals) and still not losing weight or getting toned 😢😢.
My favorite part of this podcast is when you roast each other and yourselves! Of course, the content is always top notch too. The visual images of you guys pushing out all of your air in the dunk tank is absolutely hilarious to me 😂
I'm not losing weight on the scale after the first 30 I lost, but I'm losing inches and I'm getting hella strong so I know all I'm learning here is working! I have a long way to go but I'm in it for the long haul! I just bought a body composition scale and i can't wait for it to be delivered! I think it's really going to help keep me motivated!
I can definitely testify to the negatives of slowing down your metabolism. I struggled with anorexia for years and when I finally went through treatment I gained 60 pounds soooo quick. It has taken me 3 years to rebuild my metabolism through strength training and eating enough. Thank you Mind Pump team for spreading this message and making the world a better place! ☺️
As someone who has struggled with my weight since I was a child and had been stuck in an endless cycle of yo-yo dieting, these are the things I wished I had known all along. Even now, I found this video very informative. I’ve managed to lose 40+ lbs. and I got so used to measuring progress by the number in the scale. I got used to eating 1800-1900 calories a day (despite being 5’11 ~180 lbs.). I recently figured out I was under-eating and a quick search on the YT search bar led me here. I’ve been slowly increasing my calorie intake to what I think my maintenance is and I’ve been noticing results at the gym. I haven’t had a chance to have a scan but I’m excited to get one after a few more weeks eating slightly more and working out to see what the results are. Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge.
@@lindsaypietroburgo5446 I’m on a Facebook and the Reddit one! The Facebook one is through smalletics but tbh don’t really recommend it. A lot of correcting misinformation 😂
This one is worth a second listen. Saving it to pull out a couple of times a year so I don’t forget the nuances the guys spoke about. This info was really helpful.
LOVED THIS!!! AND IM SENDING IT TO MY CLIENTS!! I got certified as a PT around a month ago, and the first few clients i started training want to lose weight and they've been undereating. One of which was a 200+lb guy who's eating as little as 1500 and a 120lb girl who's eating been eating 800cals. When i heard their numbers i was shocked. It's been rly hard working with them cuz they feel a bit scared to bump up their calories even though they want to build muscle. I've explained to them what they gotta do, but they're still very hesitant. But i have a feeling that this video will do the trick! Thanks!! Shout out from Saudi Arabia!
28:36 yep that’s me. Went 1 year eating at a caloric deficit, then once I reached my goal weight, holidays hit and started to binge and couldn’t stop eating.. now I’m slowly getting back into the groove of things.. but I never stopped weight training. So when I get down in weight after gaining 11lbs, hope I’ll show them gains. I did feel tired and brain fog when dieting for so long.
Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up.
This episode was right on time!! I’ve been in my head over calories and how the scale is slightly going up but I’m stronger in the gym and I’m getting leaner. The psychological aspect of the scale can be hella hard but I’m listening to you guys and I’ve been hitting mini goals and addressing behaviors and it’s been life changing. Thank y’all so much for your wisdom and generosity. Much love!
Great reminder for me on that first day of Ramadan. I don't know how you do it but your episodes are always right on time for me! ✅ Subscribed since the first time I saw one of your videos ✅ Like is the first thing I do after hitting play cause I know the content quality you produce ✅ And sharing as much as I can, even if most people I know don't speak English!
I have been gone for a month with a new born at home but now trying to consume as much Mind pump as I can.. Love this episode as a dietitian constantly educating people on this! Keep up the great content can’t get enough!
Everyone should listen to this podcast, ppl so obsessed with loosing weight and when I tell them to let’s build muscle they don’t want to believe that this is the best way . My clients are so obsessed with the scale.
I think this episode just fixed the majority of my problems and made way too much sense. According to my scale my overall weight is now staying same and muscle going up slightly and fat going down slightly. I'm also feeling way better mood wise too now that I've increased my calories. I even feel a bit leaner in the mid section. Sure it's been a few days but what a difference already. Thanks guys!
Great works guys! I really needed to hear this. I am training for a half marathon and really upping my cardio, but the scale has not really moved. So I will be added more calories and more weight training.
The understanding and explanation you guys provide is priceless. You guys have a following, but it's based on the quality of knowledge you provide, plus the entertainment doesn't hurt either 🤣
I have been running anabolic between the at home version and the regular version and eating clean foods whenever I’m hungry. I have been doing that for about a year and a half and I have never felt more comfortable in my body. Thanks for the great advice and programming! Keep up the good work!
Today show was very informative!!! Thanks for sharing your personal experiences about fitness, it has open so many doors 🚪 for me about health and wellness, since I subscribed I feel like IM A NEW PERSON! Thank you for making me better! 😊
I have been in a deficit and my body fat went up by almost one percent and my skeletal muscle mass went down almost one percent based on the inbody scan. No change on the scale or atleast the normal fluctuation I always see. Super defeating, But just gotta fuel my body more! Thank you for discussing this! 🙌
Hi guys! I am new to this Channel and listen to as many podcast as I can. You guys are so awesome! My mind is so blown by all the wisdom and information you guys share. As a mom of 3 I am so inspired and excited to help my family get healthier and stronger. Just started weight training and I love it! I really hope to help others get healthy as I am on this new journey of learning and growing. Thank you!!!
I am experiencing the reverse that Sal was talking about. It does make me uncomfy to see the scale go up, but I'm also happy to have that extra muscle.
extremely informational show! appreciate the depth you guys went into behind fatloss and how just looking at cals in vs cals out can cause you to hit a brick wall. also wish greg doucette would see this so he can start putting context into his cals in vs cals out rants!
Wish I would have known muscle building was the best way to lose weight 20 years ago. Used to spend 4 hours a day doing cardio, now I'm doing the same thing with only a little more than an hour a day.
I am in the good side of this equation right now. My weight is staying the same but I am getting smaller (leaner) and stronger. I need to be able to eat more for better gains, but I cannot physically eat more volume.
Great show! I have been using a tracking app for over 10 years but didn’t have the knowledge of how to correctly use it until you guys popped up in my feed. Thank you!!
I so appreciate your videos and pod cast. I am consistent at my diet and exercise for many years now. I gained weight after COVID which I was unable to lose. Using MAPS program I have seen a major difference in just three weeks. Would look forward to see if I get lucky to get access to RGB bundle. More power to all of you 💪
I listen to you guys every morning while getting ready to go to the gym or work. I’ve been training with a bodybuilding modality for 12 years. I’ve heard very good things about your program. What do you suggest I start with? I do a 5 day split now. 2 leg days 1 chest 1 back and 1 shoulder/arm day. I walk 7k-10k steps 3 days a week. I eat 1850 calories 130 grams of protein 150 grams of carbs and I’m 122lbs 5’2 and I’m 52 but I feel 42. Thank you guys
This is me right now. Lost a ton of muscle but retained my fat mass thanks to the plandemic and gyms being closed. Lost a lot of strength in my compound lifts. Got a desk job and was under eating for a while and wondering why I looked terrible in the mirror. Now that I understand what happened I’m back on more calories with healthier macros and a good workout plan.
Same thing happened to me! I finally woke up and am back in the gym. For 3 years I thought I could get through the rest of my life without doing resistance training because I hadn't gained much weight so I wasn't overweight, but I was certainly unhealthy from losing so much muscle mass.
I've got a coworker I was just telling this. I gotta share this with them! thank you again for the video's you share with the not so common fitness advice
I love these videos. You guys have helped me so much. Im in a cut im only 4’11 my Cals are at 1630 with 120g of protein. I strength train 5 days a week with no cardio. My goal is to be stronger and Im thinking about upping my Cals. My friends think im crazy because my cut number are not 1200cals. Ive got goals and you guys help so much.
Loved this episode. I’m learning so much from this pod on my fitness journey right now! One of these days I’d love to share my approach to how I’m going about it and get feedback.
Cardio is for healthy heart and lungs. Weights is for muscle and bone density. Calories restriction is for weight loss. Calories surplus is for weight gain.

I had to have been under eating without even knowing. Switched to weight training and eating everything I could put in front of me, I dropped 40 lbs in 6 months and got shredded!
Pictures or it ain't true.. we wanna see results not hear em
@@devonlatrell5767 Pictures??? Dude...this is YT!
This episode is GREAT! Im a registered dietitian and have incorporated these principles into my practice for clientele trying to lose weight/gain muscle. I have been running a MAPS type program I was paying ALOT of money for and I’m still stuck at only 1700 calories but have goal of 2000 for maintenance. I completed it and looking for new program so shamelessly wanting the bundle…this is actually the bundle I’ve been waiting for.
I just upped my calories because I wasn't seeing any results. Doing MAPS 15 and walking 8-10k/day. I got to the point after 6 weeks I was always hungry at the end of the day so clearly my body needed more.
After listening to you guys for so long and i just can't rely your information as well as you can. I showed my wife this episode and she said 'oh that makes sense ' Now I'm showing her old episodes . This is gold. So happy
This has helped me more than you know. I now realize why eating 1000 or less in calories a day was never serving me and it has changed my mind set. Thank you.
Finding this podcast/channel has been a God send! I am now 2 years out of my college athletics career, and I wish he NCAA put more of a focus on overall nutrition and what habits are healthy vs. unhealthy. The cameras, media, earning a position and "looking the part" is so much bigger in the NCAA than sustainable health and strength. This leaves those who turn the chapter with terrible concepts of what health should look like and how to achieve it. I am grateful for you all and your intellect- I learn more every day on what healthy strength looks like.
After getting married and becoming a dad, my training fell off a cliff. I lost muscle, gained fat. When I started getting back on the train, I was on a crazy calorie cut and weight lifting thinking I could burn fat and build muscle like that. So glad I found you guys so I can get my programming and nutrition on the right track to stay in shape and chase this kiddo around! Thanks guys
Relationships in general make people fat. I notice married men or "committed" ones are typically overweight and overstressed.
@morbidcorpse5954 what's your point?
@@davidjarzynka4760 Exactly what I typed. Married men are usually out of shape. Many have lost the drive to pursue other women because they believe they found "the one." So, they become complacent. Not all because the world has millions of married people. Just from my observations. Anyhow, congrats on your accomplishments.
@morbidcorpse5954 I think youre confusing correlation vs causation. Relationships don't make people fat. Poor diet and lack of physical activity make people fat. The Ironman World Champ is a married woman. World's strongest man is in a long term relationship. All 3 of the guys who host the podcast are married and have kids. For the vast majority of people, becoming obese or even just putting on 10 lbs is a product of little decisions every day to not eat right or exercise. In or out of a relationship that is true.
Before I found you guys, I had lost ~40 lbs with poorly programmed lifting and lots of fasting. Found you guys and have since added intentional, healthy carbs for the first time in years and a better (but maybe sub-optimal) lifting plan. The results have been amazing! Much more definition and strength. Thanks, MP crew 💪
This one is definitely 💯 👌 one of the most important, & descriptive for people unfamiliar to these issues. Awesome 👌 job gentlemen
You guys always make it easy to understand these complicated topics 👍
More people need to hear this message. You guys do great work
This video is so valuable! I started lifting weights the last 12 months, initially I did increase overall protein and calories but by month three I was tired of eating and began underrating. It effected the energy levels during workouts, I was tired and my body didn't look good, I still had body fat because I wasn't fueling myself for muscle gain. Now the last three weeks Ive been progressively eating more but it is really hard to eat more without feeling too full. any tips on how to consume more?
I've been guilty of undereating for so long and didn't really realize it. Listening to this podcast has finally started to change that and I'm seeing the difference. Thanks for all the great content.
That's me! I wasn't progressing ,stall muscle growth,the moment I up my calories,I'm starting to get better pump and growth,more strength and recovery!!
This episode was great a great watch! It really resonated with me because I was under-eating and working out way too hard for the longest time since I was in my teens and couldn’t figure out why. It’s a very unhealthy mentality that I had to work through, so as I got older, I am able to eat enough and see the physical changes I want. Right now looking for the strength gains with MAPS Powerlift!!!
Thank you for this! I’ve fallen into this trap and couldn’t figure what was going on. I really hope people appreciate all the great knowledge these guys share…for free! Thank you for an amazing podcast.
Man oh man have I learned and experienced this the hard way by crashing my calories really low hoping to lose weight. Ended up just looking like a fluffier version of myself but 20lbs lighter. Mind you I was even lifting as well 😅
I want to thank you for the valuable nutritional advice shared on the podcast. It has been a great help to improve my well-being. Additionally, I am excited about the possibility of winning the program you are raffling off. Thank you for always providing such information! valuable!
This has been my most longest lasting challenge. I’m currently reverse dieting, determined to fix this
Great episode. I am with you guys in being disappointed that this hasn’t become more conventional thinking. After a lot of years of hearing the opposite, it is great to hear this message consistently on this podcast and would be great to hear it more in general.
The cut starts at the beginning of April for me. Thanks to you guys I will do my next cut in a smarter way by eating more calories. Thanks guys 🙏🏼
Same here Bro, Monday after Easter : Cut Mode.
@@algon1986 let’s get it brotha 💪
You got this!
Don't wait until the month starts. Start now
I started mine a week ago and was already making this mistake. Glad I caught this early.
I NEEDED THIS EPISODE. Majority of the people in my life who struggle with weight under consume. Now I can have a resource to send them!
Really nice episode. I always try to spread this mentality to not decrease food like crazy to lose body weight. Few people around me believed and got surprised how increasing food helped in the gym, sleep, e.g.
Soooo important! I ruined my metabolism 10 years ago by undereating and still struggle with the consequences now
Four years into listening to this podcast and watching videos. Just turned 50 and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in...I owe a lot of that to the three of you. You guys rock. Can't say enough good things about this podcast.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I'm a 105 lb female... I lift heavy and don't do any cardio longer than 4 minutes (I do intervals once a week though for cardiovascular health)... I could never survive on less than 1500 calories a day, let alone 1000... That's crazy... I eat between 1800-2000 calories a day, heavy on the carbs!
Edit: I wish I could find resources in my area where I could have testing done and could be followed by a team like Mind Pump but I'm not a professional athlete, just a "gym goer" and where I live there are no resources for us.
Edit #2: I've watched all kinds of podcasts and you're the only ones who make sense. I tried it for myself a few months ago and everything you said has worked for me.
Always mind blowing listening to your content! Where were you guys 10 years ago?!😢 been listening to you guys for like 6 months now and bought a couple of your products but man it’s hard to follow when I’ve been conditioned to not eat to fast to cut this and that in order to get in shape. How can I break out from my old paradigm to take in this new knowledge? It’s so hard to in a sense of adapting these new information but I have a lot of hope now. Omg I would love to ask my questions but it will take a whole episode if I try to join the quah!!! Lol anyways cheers to you guys for making a difference. Shaking the ground for sure! Thanks gentlemen!
Oh yeah !! I needed this. I am at a super frustrated state where I'm working out 90 to 100 mins a day and eating very less (around 1000cals) and still not losing weight or getting toned 😢😢.
My favorite part of this podcast is when you roast each other and yourselves! Of course, the content is always top notch too.
The visual images of you guys pushing out all of your air in the dunk tank is absolutely hilarious to me 😂
I'm not losing weight on the scale after the first 30 I lost, but I'm losing inches and I'm getting hella strong so I know all I'm learning here is working! I have a long way to go but I'm in it for the long haul!
I just bought a body composition scale and i can't wait for it to be delivered! I think it's really going to help keep me motivated!
It is interesting how often Sal explain things through construction workers
I can definitely testify to the negatives of slowing down your metabolism. I struggled with anorexia for years and when I finally went through treatment I gained 60 pounds soooo quick. It has taken me 3 years to rebuild my metabolism through strength training and eating enough.
Thank you Mind Pump team for spreading this message and making the world a better place! ☺️
That why I don't have a scale at home. That number doesn't matter. The mirror matters. The gym numbers matter, the track numbers matter.
As someone who has struggled with my weight since I was a child and had been stuck in an endless cycle of yo-yo dieting, these are the things I wished I had known all along. Even now, I found this video very informative. I’ve managed to lose 40+ lbs. and I got so used to measuring progress by the number in the scale. I got used to eating 1800-1900 calories a day (despite being 5’11 ~180 lbs.). I recently figured out I was under-eating and a quick search on the YT search bar led me here. I’ve been slowly increasing my calorie intake to what I think my maintenance is and I’ve been noticing results at the gym. I haven’t had a chance to have a scan but I’m excited to get one after a few more weeks eating slightly more and working out to see what the results are. Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge.
Immediately sharing this video with a petite fitness community I'm in! Such great info as always
Reddit??? I’m on there too!
@@lindsaypietroburgo5446 I’m on a Facebook and the Reddit one! The Facebook one is through smalletics but tbh don’t really recommend it. A lot of correcting misinformation 😂
This one is worth a second listen. Saving it to pull out a couple of times a year so I don’t forget the nuances the guys spoke about. This info was really helpful.
LOVED THIS!!! AND IM SENDING IT TO MY CLIENTS!!
I got certified as a PT around a month ago, and the first few clients i started training want to lose weight and they've been undereating. One of which was a 200+lb guy who's eating as little as 1500 and a 120lb girl who's eating been eating 800cals.
When i heard their numbers i was shocked.
It's been rly hard working with them cuz they feel a bit scared to bump up their calories even though they want to build muscle. I've explained to them what they gotta do, but they're still very hesitant.
But i have a feeling that this video will do the trick!
Thanks!!
Shout out from Saudi Arabia!
My BiL was 313, he cut out most fats and dropped to 1000 calories a day. In 80 days he is now 243 and rock in’ it :D
28:36 yep that’s me. Went 1 year eating at a caloric deficit, then once I reached my goal weight, holidays hit and started to binge and couldn’t stop eating.. now I’m slowly getting back into the groove of things.. but I never stopped weight training. So when I get down in weight after gaining 11lbs, hope I’ll show them gains.
I did feel tired and brain fog when dieting for so long.
Can you do one on how to do a PROPER clean bulk fir newbs?
Finally implementing everything you guys talk about and as a woman that's tried to diet since her teens this is life changing, thank you

@@MindPumpShow Aaahhh this has made my week thank you!!
This episode was right on time!! I’ve been in my head over calories and how the scale is slightly going up but I’m stronger in the gym and I’m getting leaner. The psychological aspect of the scale can be hella hard but I’m listening to you guys and I’ve been hitting mini goals and addressing behaviors and it’s been life changing. Thank y’all so much for your wisdom and generosity. Much love!
Great reminder for me on that first day of Ramadan. I don't know how you do it but your episodes are always right on time for me!
✅ Subscribed since the first time I saw one of your videos
✅ Like is the first thing I do after hitting play cause I know the content quality you produce
✅ And sharing as much as I can, even if most people I know don't speak English!
Man your show is so full with free knowledge and wisdom. I'm a proud listener
I appreciate that!
I have been gone for a month with a new born at home but now trying to consume as much Mind pump as I can.. Love this episode as a dietitian constantly educating people on this! Keep up the great content can’t get enough!
Everyone should listen to this podcast, ppl so obsessed with loosing weight and when I tell them to let’s build muscle they don’t want to believe that this is the best way . My clients are so obsessed with the scale.
This is one of these episodes I’ll have to play on continuous loop…and have my clients listen on continuous loop!
The best fitness podcast around. Love these guys and all the great information and programs they have.
Much appreciated!
Love listening to you guys! Thanks for all your information! ❤
I think this episode just fixed the majority of my problems and made way too much sense. According to my scale my overall weight is now staying same and muscle going up slightly and fat going down slightly.
I'm also feeling way better mood wise too now that I've increased my calories. I even feel a bit leaner in the mid section. Sure it's been a few days but what a difference already. Thanks guys!
Great works guys! I really needed to hear this. I am training for a half marathon and really upping my cardio, but the scale has not really moved. So I will be added more calories and more weight training.
Great to hear!
I cut for too long this year. MacroFactor recommended going down to 1300 calories. So I ramped up to 3000 calories and I’m slowly cutting from there.
The understanding and explanation you guys provide is priceless. You guys have a following, but it's based on the quality of knowledge you provide, plus the entertainment doesn't hurt either 🤣
I have been running anabolic between the at home version and the regular version and eating clean foods whenever I’m hungry. I have been doing that for about a year and a half and I have never felt more comfortable in my body. Thanks for the great advice and programming! Keep up the good work!
Today show was very informative!!! Thanks for sharing your personal experiences about fitness, it has open so many doors 🚪 for me about health and wellness, since I subscribed I feel like IM A NEW PERSON! Thank you for making me better! 😊
I found this show a couple months ago and have listened to every episode since! Currently running MAPS Anabolic. I would love the RGB BUNDLE!!!!🙏🏼💪🏽
I have been in a deficit and my body fat went up by almost one percent and my skeletal muscle mass went down almost one percent based on the inbody scan. No change on the scale or atleast the normal fluctuation I always see. Super defeating, But just gotta fuel my body more! Thank you for discussing this! 🙌
IKR it’s so demoralising
Hi guys! I am new to this Channel and listen to as many podcast as I can. You guys are so awesome! My mind is so blown by all the wisdom and information you guys share. As a mom of 3 I am so inspired and excited to help my family get healthier and stronger. Just started weight training and I love it! I really hope to help others get healthy as I am on this new journey of learning and growing. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
I am experiencing the reverse that Sal was talking about. It does make me uncomfy to see the scale go up, but I'm also happy to have that extra muscle.
extremely informational show! appreciate the depth you guys went into behind fatloss and how just looking at cals in vs cals out can cause you to hit a brick wall.
also wish greg doucette would see this so he can start putting context into his cals in vs cals out rants!
💯
Wish I would have known muscle building was the best way to lose weight 20 years ago. Used to spend 4 hours a day doing cardio, now I'm doing the same thing with only a little more than an hour a day.
I am in the good side of this equation right now. My weight is staying the same but I am getting smaller (leaner) and stronger. I need to be able to eat more for better gains, but I cannot physically eat more volume.
Great show! I have been using a tracking app for over 10 years but didn’t have the knowledge of how to correctly use it until you guys popped up in my feed. Thank you!!
Thanks for posting! I love y’all’s channel! It’s so insighting and informing! I love it! ☺️
I feel like this has been me for years! Trying to hit my protein goal daily now. Can’t wait to give this a listen.
Love this podcast!!! I always say Eat More to Lose More!! It’s hard to get people to understand the concept
Finished this episode before the last one... I usually listen on my walks and I took a rest yesterday trying to listen to my body.
I so appreciate your videos and pod cast. I am consistent at my diet and exercise for many years now. I gained weight after COVID which I was unable to lose. Using MAPS program I have seen a major difference in just three weeks. Would look forward to see if I get lucky to get access to RGB bundle. More power to all of you 💪
I'm currently starting a reverse diet for the first time and doing it very slowly from 2400 to a target of 3200 then pull back to 2800.
I listen to you guys every morning while getting ready to go to the gym or work. I’ve been training with a bodybuilding modality for 12 years. I’ve heard very good things about your program. What do you suggest I start with? I do a 5 day split now. 2 leg days 1 chest 1 back and 1 shoulder/arm day. I walk 7k-10k steps 3 days a week. I eat 1850 calories 130 grams of protein 150 grams of carbs and I’m 122lbs 5’2 and I’m 52 but I feel 42. Thank you guys
Great episode! Loved the info about micro and macro nutrients
This is me right now. Lost a ton of muscle but retained my fat mass thanks to the plandemic and gyms being closed. Lost a lot of strength in my compound lifts. Got a desk job and was under eating for a while and wondering why I looked terrible in the mirror. Now that I understand what happened I’m back on more calories with healthier macros and a good workout plan.
Same thing happened to me! I finally woke up and am back in the gym. For 3 years I thought I could get through the rest of my life without doing resistance training because I hadn't gained much weight so I wasn't overweight, but I was certainly unhealthy from losing so much muscle mass.
You’re definitely not alone
Nice !
Excellent episode ..many more need to hear this.
I've got a coworker I was just telling this. I gotta share this with them! thank you again for the video's you share with the not so common fitness advice
Thanks for sharing!!
I love these videos. You guys have helped me so much. Im in a cut im only 4’11 my Cals are at 1630 with 120g of protein. I strength train 5 days a week with no cardio. My goal is to be stronger and Im thinking about upping my Cals. My friends think im crazy because my cut number are not 1200cals. Ive got goals and you guys help so much.
Good stuff!
Love your videos been listening for 2-3 years now
Awesome!
I love this podcast channel ❤
We love you
Loved this episode. I’m learning so much from this pod on my fitness journey right now! One of these days I’d love to share my approach to how I’m going about it and get feedback.
Please do!
Cardio is for healthy heart and lungs. Weights is for muscle and bone density. Calories restriction is for weight loss. Calories surplus is for weight gain.
Great information, thank you!
Our pleasure!
What a great episode guys! As a chronic under eater this definitely motivated me to increase calories 😁👍🏻💪
You can do it!
