@@Coach_Jose actually...calories in vs calories out has been debunked...you wouldn've known that! If you would've updated your knowledge. It's been tested that the lower insulin one has, the harder it is for fat cells it becomes for them to release their extra energy. Fast state is the activation of having lower insulin naturally. I've been working out fasted for years now. Was how I dropped 85 pounds, reduced my body fat percentage, reduced my mid section by 12 inches. It's simple as that. Along with my low carb to ketogenic lifestyle. I was used 3 years ago.
@@Coach_Jose it’s actually a combination of calories in and hormone signals as to what to do with those calories vs calories out. Consuming 1900 calories of carbs will likely cause you to gain fat when expending 2000 calories a day while consuming 1900 calories of fat would allow you to lose bodyfat when expending 2000 calories in the same timeframe.
I found doing OMAD really helped shed the fat. No kcal counting - nothing off the menu - No supplements - increased my NEAT, got more sleep - avoided stress as best I could, it took a little time to figure out what would sustain a 23 hour of not shovelling food down the throat and not feeling that hunger pains. Be the lab rat, and as for ANY advice that is dished out - Take what is useful, disregard what is not and adapt so it suits you. Thank you for uploading and sharing - even though that was 5 years ago. 😀
Thank you for taking the time to make this info available. 👍 If I buy only one of the supplements mentioned here, what will be the best for fat burning and muscle building.?
You're welcome! Before adding in supplements for fat loss, make sure that you're also in a deficit. If fat loss is your main goal though, I recommend you try out my product Phoenix. :)

HMB is freaking expensive though... I get it, it is fairly new and that one study blew it up. But it is like 50 bucks for 1 month of it. I really hope it starts to come down in price especially since the newer form of it which is said to be more effective, is basically 2-3x that price.
Wow great information. There's just one thing I'm concerned I guess you could say. It's about the HIIT training. A newbie to fitness and weight loss world with no endurance experience would probably start HIIT right off the bat which can increase the risk of injury due to the body taxation of energy and also you have to know the proper moving mechanisms of your preferred cardio exercise. Just wanted to point that it
losing body fat is easy. Just stop eating. Numerous scientific studies demonstrate that during multiday fasting you won't lose any muscle. Your HG hormone goes up 1000-2000% after 1-2-3 days of complete fasting, so your body keeps muscle and goes after fat. Fasting also resets your body and mind, has neorogenerative quality, improves hormone function and etc. The silly idea of doing cardio for fat burn, I don't know where it came from. Most of your daily calory expenditure goes to maintaining normal bodily functions. doing more cardio or less cardio will have minimal effect comparing to just eating less. I do cardio for what it's meant for, or cardiovascular system. Feels good to breathe.
In general you right, but during fasting, we lose 60% of fat and 40% of muscle. An easy way to lose stubborn fat is the vegan diet. You can see as Frank Medrano looks like :)
where did you get those numbers? There are lots of obese ppl fasting for 30-40 days without any significant muscle loss while sim. losing a lot of fat. For me the trick is that of course, the leaner you are the more muscle you'd lose while fasting but at least fasting doesn't produce the metabolic damage the aggressive calory restrictions tend to give you. I am experimenting with 4-5 day fasts to cut fat but I am lean already and I seem to lose quite a bit of strength during these fasts, maybe IF is better for me.
"Body fat According to my Intelimetrix body fat device, 60% of the losses (7.2 pounds) I experienced during the first 8 weeks were fat pounds. The rest (4.8 pounds) was “lean mass.” I wasn't too worried about that. Lean mass is made up of all non-fat weight in the body, most of which is water." www.precisionnutrition.com/intermittent-fasting/chapter-4
Daniël K yeah, man. ive been experimenting with long fasts now (5 days no food last time) and i cant say i enjoy it that much. There are guys out there who claim they go to work and function normally and have energy. i have to say, i dont have much energy while long term fasting and i do lose strength. i also noticed that i lose fat quite easy with IF while staying active and maintaining reasonably high levels of energy. nowadays i just bulk slowly with an eating window of 8-9 hours and planning to cut later with 4 h eating window. Long term fasting seems to be good for autophagy, so i guess i might do it still in the fututre, but as you also pointed, one (two) day fasts can be that sweet spot. i noticed that going one day without food is quite easy for me and sometimes it feels good to reset your body that way. its also good psychologically. i am gonna play around with this to see whats optimal for me.
Daniël K thanks, man, good luck to you too. one thing ive learnt is there is so much BS in the youtube fitness, you have to think and try things for yourself, listen to your body and make your own conclusions. there isnt much science out there re fasting, so all of us are going through trial and error. nowadays theres lots of silly fads like ketogenic diets and other restrictive forms of eating. i usually look for scientific studies re any nutrition/training topic and try things on myself.
Very interesting and good podcast. Question though, isn't HIIT more catabolic than LISS? And what about recovery? How much HIIT do you recommend per week?
Thanks! Typically, 2-4 25 minute sessions per week is good enough for most people. Not inherently catabolic if you're otherwise training and dieting properly with proper intake.
Ive been reading Mikes material for more than 4 years now and bought and read his BLS book its very helpful especially utilising his BLS workouts. Excellent podcast.
Mike Matthews Hay Mike nice to bear from you again mate. No problems. It would be awesome if you did some sought of fitness seminar here in Melbourne or Adelaide Australia i would definetely go💪
This is helpful Mike! Thank you! A stupid question: At 18:05, you mentioned a study that showed that the blood flow in the abdominal region increases when training in a fasted state, which helps better mobilize fat cells. Based on this research finding, isn't it then useful to do more abs workouts to increase the blood flow to that region?
This is very tongue in cheek 😂 - if increasing blood flow to the ab area COULD help shift fat - then why not place a hot water bottle there when training?
hey Mike, thanks for your video. One of the most complete in my opinion. I'd like to ask you, is it less effective to do the cardio immediately after you finish the heavy lifting in one single gym session, I mean to avoid going to the gym twice like you do and just go through one session of fasted cardio (I think I'm already answering myself) Anyway I'd like to hear your opinion, cause it's a hassle going twice to the gym. Thank you
Jose Espinoza I think in one of Mikes recent videos he said split cardio and lifting if you can, for instance lifting in the morning cardio in the evening.
I'm going to do just as you do. It seems more effective since you go twice into a fasted state. Right now I'm bulking but soon I'll have to cut. Thanks Mike.
Hello Mike I just found you! I will purchase forge and Phoenix tomorrow. I’m doing 25 miles of stationary bike a day (2 hours), 7 days a week because I have no weights or Gym during COVID. Whatcha think?! I hope this sounds okay. I’m an ex competitive bodybuilder and cyclist and gained weight during COVID. I gain it all in the belly. I’m sailing the globe in 3 months and must be back in bikini shape. I have about 25 lbs to lose but mainly belly. You are super excellent and I’m thrilled to find you. 🙏😁🤙🏽
"If you’re cutting you want to aim for 1 to 1.5 grams of carbs per pound of body weight per day" Im obese so if im eating at a deficit should i be eat 250 grams of carbs?
Very informative. You mention lifting really heavy weights. What exactly does that mean? How do I know if I'm lifting the right amount of weight. The other question I have is knowing how many calories I should eat. Any tips on figuring that out? So include calories that you're burning normally throughout the day (not exercising) in "calories out?" Ty!
I listen to your messages while I work and this one had so much interesting information I had to listen to it three times. This is great content. And I am curious, if you take your caffeine as a supplement a few days a week, does this mean you do not drink coffee? one of the most beloved drinks out there.... ha ha.
i heard your protocol to loise weight at the end of the video. based on your 2 meals a day, i dont see how you can have 1.2 g of protein per pound based on your meal description... thanks
I wonder, if you train in a fasting state, does all the energy used during the workout comes from fat? , also, lets say you've been fasting for 18 hours before workout, and you eat a couple of grams of carbs (wich will increase insulin even in small quantities) since while in presence of insulin the fats wont be used as fuel, what exactly are we using for fuel then?
Hey Lamont, thanks for the comment! It depends on what you eat, but entering a fasted state can take 5+ hours depending on what your last meal was. You might like this article: legionathletics.com/fasted-cardio/
@@MikeMatthewsFitness this is my run down and please give me yur honest opinion i work security over night from 10pm - 6am and i work out side now that its summer time i do a lot of walking around the site I work at and i work up a good sweat that in it self is cardio so at 12.15 am i take my 15min break i have me a shake 2 scoops of whey isolate and 3 scoops of creatine and 2 scoops of bcaa then at 3am i take my 30 minn break i have the same shake oh also i put in 4 strawberry in each shake then at 6am i get off work at this time i wood rather do fasted cardio then eat then train r vice versa but i only have one time a day 2 hit the gym so i eat my first solid meal and its 10 oz of salmon 1 cup mixed veggies and 1 cup brown rice mixed with quinoa then i weight train at 8.30 am about 2 and half hours after i eat and i do Dorian Yates blood and guts style of training for 1 hour then i do my cardio at about 9.30 am on the stair master for about 1 hour so i figure by the time i start my cardio i should b in a fasted state because i eat 3 hours ago and i did 1 hour of intense training hard and heavy i wood like 2 no yur opinion on what u think
@@MikeMatthewsFitness should i have my first meal on my lunch break at 3am and have my shake b4 i train by the time i do my cardio at 9.30 am 6 and half hours wood have past by that meal should digested by then right
- High protein diet - Maintain a moderately aggressive calorie deficit 20-25% - Cardio especially HIIT 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes - Heavy compound weightlifting with progressive overload, meaning you keep increasing the amount you lift, rather than the amount of reps
Mostly a high vegetable diet with some fruit and keep protein and fat minimal. The protein myth has been debunked. Carbohydrates are muscle sparing. So don't train fasted. Not running for too long because it will burn muscle for fuel. For exercise, walking everyday will burn fat better than running.
And according to your daily routine example, how many pills of forge are you having daily supposing you weight 175 pounds if you take it twice a day. 14 pills??
stress will have an effect on cortisol which will have an effect on testosterone. this should have a direct effect on the fat loss. do you agree ? you also said that sugar is not the problem. To me, most of the people who have trouble to loose weight eat to much sugar and that creat eating disorder. there is no way to loise fat in that state. I dont have your experience but I see the power of the sugar industry and its effect...
The point he was making is that sugar itself doesn't have some magical, diabolically evil ability to inhibit fat loss more than any other caloric substance. It is easy to develop a sugar addiction (and you are correct in that the food industry very much uses that to their advantage) which in turn may lead to overeating, but the sugar itself does not have an impact on fat loss any more than other carbs, fat, or even protein does.
TacoStanMan I do not agree at all with that. A calorie coming from protein is not the same as one coming from sugar (whatever it is). Of course we have to distinguish added sugar or natural sugar. The effect on hormones of what you eat and the micronutrients included in a food which contain 1g is important as well...
You're still misunderstanding. Alcohol, for example, contains calories that have additional adverse effects beyond just being empty calories. Sugar cannot build or preserve muscle, but a sugar molecule itself will not inhibit fat loss other than having a positive caloric value. There are several INDIRECT effects of eating sugar (e.g., blood level spikes, less room for protein macros, etc.), but again, sugar itself does NOT inhibit fat loss. Think of it this way: If you meet your protein and fat macros, you can fill the rest of your remaining calories with sugar and still lose fat while preserving muscle.
Uhhh, that's a tough one to answer. I'd have to look into it again, but if I recall, it's kind of both. Sugar itself is anti-catabolic due to providing an energy source other than muscle. That's why it's recommended that you eat something with natural sugar in it post-workout w/ your protein (usually whey powder) to give your body the energy it needs while allowing the protein to be used for repairs. It's more complex than that, but that's the gist. However, the massive insulin spike caused by the sugar results in your body being far less capable of using fat as fuel when the crash comes, meaning muscle is far more likely to be catabolized during this time. But again, this is technically an indirect issue with sugar. I want to reiterate that I need to brush up on the subject so I might have a couple details slightly wrong or missing.
I was going to leave a sarcastic, wise-ass remark, but I'm feeling generous today, so I won't be an asshole. Here's the deal: always check the description. Mr. Mike always has sources, and 99% of the time the description is where sources are listed for TH-cam videos. Cheers.
Hmmmm... he keeps saying he's going to tell us all about this "science of losing belly fat," but I'm pretty far in, and so far, all I've heard are the usual tropes: Everything you're doing is wrong, and I'm about to tell you how to do it right, and it's all going to be very easy, and here's a website to buy my products... And now, without further ado, I'm going to tell you the information... you see, everything you're doing is wrong, and I'm going to tell you how to do it right, and it's all very easy... by the way, have you heard about these products we're selling? Anyways, time to get to the information... Everything you're doing is wrong, and I'm going to tell you how to do it right with this information I'm about to tell you about products you can buy at my website...
Jesse Cole Huh? Sorry you must of been watching twinmuscle, because he clearly went into the details regarding how fat loss works, myths, ways to combat it, even links studies to what he talking about. He even says you can buy the things he recommends separately. You must feel pretty stupid right now.
Are you kidding me? I'm 9 minutes in and he has already explained that you cant target belly fat specifically and why it is so stubborn. And since you can't target it specifically it's probably gonna come out to, you're gonna have to just decrease your overall body fat percentage to a low enough level.
literally like 3 minutes later - bring down body fat percentage to 10% that's how you lose most of the belly fat. maybe you'll get more out of these videos if you actually listen to them, lol
I lost weight the fastest while preserving muscle with this diet. Mostly a high vegetable diet with some fruit and keep protein and fat minimal. The protein myth has been debunked. Carbohydrates are muscle sparing. So don't train fasted. Eat 4-6 small meals a day and no fasting. Not running for too long because it will burn muscle for fuel. For exercise, walking everyday will burn fat better than running. Light lifting only while on this shredded diet. If you don't have much fat to lose you will see your abs in about 3 weeks with consistant workouts.
It's easy to burn fat & i reached my ideal weight in less than 3 months without using any fat burning supplements nor going to a gym. I just do Keto diet. No need to exercise at all. I just do house chores that's all. My belly is flat already. It takes some patience to burn all the stubborn belly fat but in the end all 6 packs can be seen. No waste of money going to a gym nor having to buy fat burning supplements. No 16/8 fasting as well. Just plain Keto.
what are you talking about. so you can eat massive meals you can eat just before bed you can eat as much carbs as you want ? 🤔😪 are these not useful ways of being in calorie deficit... get to what you want to say much much earlier man. sounds like you yakking for the sake of yakking.
I am sorry but I have to disagree with you there is to big error with this video the first one is bodycombestion and the second one is you didn't mention you shouldn't do everything at once maybe this will help you if you a guy or a girl in your 20 with 10 kg extra body fat but this is not that helpful if you were a man or woman in your 30 or 40 with 30+kg

What a difference 4 years makes. Literally everything in this video has been proven ineffective with the exception of calorie deficit.
You are consistent, hit training and lower calories plus intermittent fasting
Is there anything that’s effective for retaining muscle while losing fat besides obviously resistance training?
How do you not have more sunscribers
Or you can just do what I did. Go get some Liposuction or CoolSculpting. Got rid of all my belly fat permanently.
I have consultation tomorrow to do this!
Really? Been thinking about CoolSculpting. Are you satisfied with the results? Was it worth it?
i heard your protocol to loise weight at the end of the video. based on your 2 meals a day, i dont see how you can have 1.2 g of protein per pound based on your meal description...

Unless u eat like Cole Robinson :-)
I wonder, if you train in a fasting state, does all the energy used during the workout comes from fat? , also, lets say you've been fasting for 18 hours before workout, and you eat a couple of grams of carbs (wich will increase insulin even in small quantities) since while in presence of insulin the fats wont be used as fuel, what exactly are we using for fuel then?

@@MikeMatthewsFitness this is my run down and please give me yur honest opinion i work security over night from 10pm - 6am and i work out side now that its summer time i do a lot of walking around the site I work at and i work up a good sweat that in it self is cardio so at 12.15 am i take my 15min break i have me a shake 2 scoops of whey isolate and 3 scoops of creatine and 2 scoops of bcaa then at 3am i take my 30 minn break i have the same shake oh also i put in 4 strawberry in each shake then at 6am i get off work at this time i wood rather do fasted cardio then eat then train r vice versa but i only have one time a day 2 hit the gym so i eat my first solid meal and its 10 oz of salmon 1 cup mixed veggies and 1 cup brown rice mixed with quinoa then i weight train at 8.30 am about 2 and half hours after i eat and i do Dorian Yates blood and guts style of training for 1 hour then i do my cardio at about 9.30 am on the stair master for about 1 hour so i figure by the time i start my cardio i should b in a fasted state because i eat 3 hours ago and i did 1 hour of intense training hard and heavy i wood like 2 no yur opinion on what u think
After 3 hours you're still going to be digesting that meal, so you won't be fasted.
@@MikeMatthewsFitness should i have my first meal on my lunch break at 3am and have my shake b4 i train by the time i do my cardio at 9.30 am 6 and half hours wood have past by that meal should digested by then right
Yes, that would work. :)
hi mike....what dosage do you recommend for yohimbine if you take it for fat loss goal.?
Frank Martin 0.2mg per KG..
Cutting bread for 15 days to see what happens workout and diet.
Sound miserable, report back.
i like ayin basketball as my form of cardio...is it bad when im tryin to cut?

How can I lower my body fat to to 10 %
- High protein diet
- Maintain a moderately aggressive calorie deficit 20-25%
- Cardio especially HIIT 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes
- Heavy compound weightlifting with progressive overload, meaning you keep increasing the amount you lift, rather than the amount of reps
Keto
Mostly a high vegetable diet with some fruit and keep protein and fat minimal. The protein myth has been debunked. Carbohydrates are muscle sparing. So don't train fasted. Not running for too long because it will burn muscle for fuel. For exercise, walking everyday will burn fat better than running.
I'm on muscle milk is it good for you
And according to your daily routine example, how many pills of forge are you having daily supposing you weight 175 pounds if you take it twice a day. 14 pills??

stress will have an effect on cortisol which will have an effect on testosterone. this should have a direct effect on the fat loss. do you agree ? you also said that sugar is not the problem. To me, most of the people who have trouble to loose weight eat to much sugar and that creat eating disorder. there is no way to loise fat in that state. I dont have your experience but I see the power of the sugar industry and its effect...
The point he was making is that sugar itself doesn't have some magical, diabolically evil ability to inhibit fat loss more than any other caloric substance. It is easy to develop a sugar addiction (and you are correct in that the food industry very much uses that to their advantage) which in turn may lead to overeating, but the sugar itself does not have an impact on fat loss any more than other carbs, fat, or even protein does.
TacoStanMan I do not agree at all with that. A calorie coming from protein is not the same as one coming from sugar (whatever it is). Of course we have to distinguish added sugar or natural sugar.
The effect on hormones of what you eat and the micronutrients included in a food which contain 1g is important as well...
You're still misunderstanding. Alcohol, for example, contains calories that have additional adverse effects beyond just being empty calories. Sugar cannot build or preserve muscle, but a sugar molecule itself will not inhibit fat loss other than having a positive caloric value. There are several INDIRECT effects of eating sugar (e.g., blood level spikes, less room for protein macros, etc.), but again, sugar itself does NOT inhibit fat loss.
Think of it this way: If you meet your protein and fat macros, you can fill the rest of your remaining calories with sugar and still lose fat while preserving muscle.
TacoStanMan do you agree that sugar is anti catabolic ?
Uhhh, that's a tough one to answer. I'd have to look into it again, but if I recall, it's kind of both. Sugar itself is anti-catabolic due to providing an energy source other than muscle. That's why it's recommended that you eat something with natural sugar in it post-workout w/ your protein (usually whey powder) to give your body the energy it needs while allowing the protein to be used for repairs. It's more complex than that, but that's the gist. However, the massive insulin spike caused by the sugar results in your body being far less capable of using fat as fuel when the crash comes, meaning muscle is far more likely to be catabolized during this time. But again, this is technically an indirect issue with sugar.
I want to reiterate that I need to brush up on the subject so I might have a couple details slightly wrong or missing.
I hear this when I feel fat
Where and who are your sources?
I was going to leave a sarcastic, wise-ass remark, but I'm feeling generous today, so I won't be an asshole. Here's the deal: always check the description.
Mr. Mike always has sources, and 99% of the time the description is where sources are listed for TH-cam videos.
Cheers.
Hmmmm... he keeps saying he's going to tell us all about this "science of losing belly fat," but I'm pretty far in, and so far, all I've heard are the usual tropes: Everything you're doing is wrong, and I'm about to tell you how to do it right, and it's all going to be very easy, and here's a website to buy my products... And now, without further ado, I'm going to tell you the information... you see, everything you're doing is wrong, and I'm going to tell you how to do it right, and it's all very easy... by the way, have you heard about these products we're selling? Anyways, time to get to the information... Everything you're doing is wrong, and I'm going to tell you how to do it right with this information I'm about to tell you about products you can buy at my website...
Jesse Cole Huh? Sorry you must of been watching twinmuscle, because he clearly went into the details regarding how fat loss works, myths, ways to combat it, even links studies to what he talking about. He even says you can buy the things he recommends separately. You must feel pretty stupid right now.
Are you kidding me? I'm 9 minutes in and he has already explained that you cant target belly fat specifically and why it is so stubborn.
And since you can't target it specifically it's probably gonna come out to, you're gonna have to just decrease your overall body fat percentage to a low enough level.
literally like 3 minutes later - bring down body fat percentage to 10% that's how you lose most of the belly fat. maybe you'll get more out of these videos if you actually listen to them, lol
Jesse Cole 10.28
did you say YOHIMI... ?
Yohimbe, I believe.
Beta receptors are easier parts of the body to burn fat.(like face)
Alpha receptors are belly fat and are harder to burn.
Drink or intake powder caffeine 3x a week to increase fat loss and increase strength gain
Forge
Phoenix
25% deficit
At the end is mikes routine

I lost weight the fastest while preserving muscle with this diet. Mostly a high vegetable diet with some fruit and keep protein and fat minimal. The protein myth has been debunked. Carbohydrates are muscle sparing. So don't train fasted. Eat 4-6 small meals a day and no fasting. Not running for too long because it will burn muscle for fuel. For exercise, walking everyday will burn fat better than running. Light lifting only while on this shredded diet. If you don't have much fat to lose you will see your abs in about 3 weeks with consistant workouts.
It's easy to burn fat & i reached my ideal weight in less than 3 months without using any fat burning supplements nor going to a gym. I just do Keto diet. No need to exercise at all. I just do house chores that's all. My belly is flat already. It takes some patience to burn all the stubborn belly fat but in the end all 6 packs can be seen. No waste of money going to a gym nor having to buy fat burning supplements. No 16/8 fasting as well. Just plain Keto.
Very much like the content, but do have sensitive ears to foul language, so avoiding that is definitely a plus. Everything else is great.
Thank you for the feedback!
what are you talking about.
so you can eat massive meals
you can eat just before bed
you can eat as much carbs as you want ? 🤔😪
are these not useful ways of being in calorie deficit...
get to what you want to say much much earlier man.
sounds like you yakking for the sake of yakking.
I am sorry but I have to disagree with you there is to big error with this video the first one is bodycombestion and the second one is you didn't mention you shouldn't do everything at once
maybe this will help you if you a guy or a girl in your 20 with 10 kg extra body fat but this is not that helpful if you were a man or woman in your 30 or 40 with 30+kg
Hussam Abbas it applies to all ages. Find BMR, enter calorie deficit.
