Easy if you have a ton of down time. Spending 1hr in the gym and 1hr+ walking is not realistic for most people (in the US) . I go with running or biking. Takes less time to burn just as much calories but to the detriment of recovery.
@@stephen_nicholson_iii3549 yes it's true, Americans work hard and don't get many holidays. I spend 45 min gym 4 times a week. Maybe HIIT can be added instead of walking.
@@stephen_nicholson_iii3549 any form of activity is great, but lifting also really helps you stay lean. I find I am leaner when I am focusing my efforts on lifting, as opposed to cardio based activities. I’ve lived both worlds as a did an iron man in 2018, and even though I was cycling and running mad miles, I was skinny fat. But when I lift and focus on protein and gaining muscle, my body has such a higher energy expenditure that it’s easier to stay leaner. Plus your cravings aren’t as intense as when you’re doing cardio. I’d recommend trying to get in there even 2-3 times a week. Especially as a man, it’s great for our hormones
You’ve quickly became one of my favorite life coaches. I’m down 25 pounds since December. 210-185. You helped a lot with this, just wanted to throw in a thank you.
My diet is very simple. Caloric deficit (About 2K cal per day right now), eat only between 12PM and 8PM, 1g of protein per Kg of body weight give or take. Don't track any other macros because I know as long as I'm getting my protein and remaining in a deficit I will lose weight and keep muscle. tracking carbs and fat just adds unnecessary stress. This on top of following your minimalist training routine has made getting in shape and staying healthy so easy and stress free, I can't thank you enough for sharing your approach to health and fitness. I've always found that the fitness industry and nutrition plans over complicate everything to the point where most people with actual lives couldn't possibly follow along or understand. You're the first influencer I've ever seen talk about it in a practical, realistic and very easy to understand way. There is no bs on this channel. Much love.
Diet has always been the hardest part for me by far. Cardio and strength training are not a problem, but controlling portion sizes is a big weakness of mine. Getting it under control with intermittent fasting and calorie deficit has helped out a lot.
You’re a GURU, you just guessed my tdee calculated maintenance kcal, it was 2470 haha. What I’ve found to work is Whole Foods cooked three square meals a day and little to no snacks. And even then the snacks are healthy (sweet potato chips and fruit). And my exercise routine has been enjoyable the more I cut out. Cancelled gym membership and decided calisthenics was the best and jumping rope is awesome. Thank you for your inspiration. I think it’s really going to stick this time.
@@akeemmohammed4789 the lower your weight the lower your daily metabolic rate gets. You ll eventually need to eat less on average to keep on losing weight or move more.
I'm about to start Ramadan fasting (in Korea) next month. While the main focus is increasing spiritual awareness, I am looking to be a more disciplined in my diet. Looking to hit around 2000kcals a day with 160g or protein and 30-45 minutes of moderate intensity workouts 6x a week (mostly bodyweight and kettlebells). With BMR around 2400, hoping I can lean out a bit. Initial goal is around 82kg @ 15% body fat (186cm) and see where to go from there. Your videos have been really helpful in me coming up with this plan so thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@@sm3675 Its a religious observance done with a community spirit so it feels much more rewarding than normal fasting. You feel refreshed physically, mentally and spiritually at the end of the month. Without Ramadan, you wont be able to pay me enough to dry fast 16-17 hours a day 30 days in a row.
Damn dude. That was actually breath of fresh air to hear about the protein. Was losing my mind trying to keep it up lol and knew how unsustainable it was. was eating 170g a day and just eating bowls of ground meat and used to love cooking and eating. Think the mental drain of just losing that as a hobby is enough of a reason to broaden the scope a bit and get back to it. thanks man
@@lucasspielmann4387 Nope, I drink plenty of water daily. Too much protein = kidney stones. I don't wish this upon anyone but you might find out the hard way
Been watching your videos lately and I love your simple approach! Would love to see more videos about cookinh simple meals on a day to day basis. As a student with so many other time committments it can be hard to be able to cook healthy meals with protein. Would love to see you tackle that issue and I think a lot of your viewers will also enjoy! Thanks again and I think your channel is going to crush it this year!
Ramadan! Haha glad you pointed out the religious fasting of Muslims! By the way as a American Muslim viewer I love your videos and since I started watching your videos 3 weeks ago I’ve gotten inspired to intermittent fast and have lost 8+ lbs. thank you!!
I love your approach it’s very practical and realistic. I’m down over 100 pounds the point where I need to get another 20 off to start seeing some definition and I completely agree with everything you say.
Yes this is exactly what I've said in regards to nutrition. I love food and I don't want it to feel like consuming food is a chore due to all the numbers we're trying to reach all the time.
I love your videos, Wanhee !! i’ve struggled with my weight & insecurities for 11 years and never did anything about it because I would watch other fitness youtubers and I felt like I couldn’t just give up everything I love to eat in exchange for chicken and rice for the rest of my life. I thought that was the only way to lose weight because it was heavily promoted. you have changed my perspective and now I am excited to begin this journey. first two weeks have been great ! Thank you ❤️
Calorie deficit helped me lose 20 pounds in 2022. This year I’ve focused on protein, not obsessing but just making sure I eat more protein including snacks (Greek yogurt, string cheese for example) and strength training. Already looking more lean
a message i needed to hear right about now. i've been on my fitness journey since October of 21, slowly making changes in my diet and exercise habits. i'm down to 16% body fat, but at times i still feel like my goals are so far out of reach and then the sacrifices i've made to get here feel so overwhelming that i wonder if it is all worth it. logically, i know i'm on the right track i just need to readjust and maybe be a bit more kind to myself. i like the intermittent fasting approach - seems a bit more reasonable than constantly wondering if i've had enough protein or if i should be counting every macro religiously or i've been to the gym enough, etc etc. thank you again - wise words indeed.
A lot of these fitness influencers talk about their diet and their training regimen like it's easy to do for the average guy. Thank you for being as relatable as possible. Your content is awesome!
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven? Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.'' Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Biblical explanation of the Gospel: God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23) The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell. Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him. For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned. No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin. Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him. This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him by reading God's Word. So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13) ''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15) ''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19) Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6) (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually. When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) ''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7) If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes - to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God. You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son. ''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17) ''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10) You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ. As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so. In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.'' ''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19) ''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41) ''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21) ''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4) ''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12) Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left! "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you! Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

Hands down the best mind and fitness channel 🙌🏼 it’s about balance and finding what works for you and your body. I’ve lost 6kg in the last 4 months and now reaching my lean weight. Thanks bro
so awesome to see I'm getting recommendations of minimalist fitness enthusiasts. I am just done with generic bodybuilding routines that basically fatigue you from the lifestyle. Now, we can go back to just enjoying a sustainable training and eating life.
So glad you talked about this. One of the reasons I have so many setbacks is because I get tired of the mental fatigue of keeping track of all the protein and having that messed up relationship with food
Fasting worked for me for a short period of time….and yes you don’t realize how much more you are eating when it’s time to eat… and as a result I gained all the weight back (plus some). I started doing the OLD small 4-5 meals a day since it is what I was doing before fasting. I’m seeing results as my weight is starting to go down.
The way you explain is like someone trying to tell truth because you did for your health and your life and not trying to advertise something. please keep it up and Thank you
Lol, you got me at, "if you love food, if you like to talk about food".... Bro... your my people! 😎👊 Keep it up man, you got some very informative videos for the masses.
Brother, i've been on a OMAD diet combined with KETO in order to get some kilos down. I cut down everything, i mean EVERYTHING. I am eating only protein and a negligible amount of fats and carbs. No sugar at all, i cut down non-sugar sodas as well, as i've seen that my insulin levels are spiking even from that. I am burning fat like never before. I cannot train as i've been through surgery.. hence why i gained so much weight. But since i started this diet, i've lost 9kg in 27 days. It was a bit hard not having my daily "kinder buenos" or my "oreos" but i was determined to lose these so..appetite didn't mean shit to me. For the first time in my life, i wake up in the morning full with energy, 2-3 minutes after i wake up it's like i haven't slept at all !. It's crazy how much a healthy diet can change you. Especially when you cut down the junk food from your life. A healthy diet is everything. IT CHANGES EVERYTHING !
Just found your channel in the midst of my weight loss journey and I love the message that you're putting out there about having a good relationship with food! You should enjoy the food you eat with reason and within the parameters of your goals but I also think that having such a robotic relationship with food where everything you put in your mouth is measured to the last gram isnt great. I've been there and personally and it just gets so boring and hard to stay on track. Love the vids!
The comment about not being able to enjoy a certain food choice due to a lack of protein really hit home, especially if you are eating with your partner. We need more balance in our lives and can’t be stressing over simple things like protein targets!
I’ve never heard anyone say “decision fatigue “ before. It makes so much sense. Like the cliche Steve jobs jeans and turtle neck everyday because it’s one less decision to waste energy on.
Intermittent fasting is def the way to go! Easy to manage diet. And I understand his points. I have similar aesthetics goals. But the middle rant is overly long! And you absolutely can get macros in with delicious cooking if there’s a bit of planning. It definitely takes some planning to go beyond chicken breast. But it’s worth the planning. And you have to like cooking. Or at least develop a passion for it. But if you wanna keep things simple, and if you’re an average height asian man like him or me, then his advice is very no nonsense, and straight to the point. This is like the minimalist approach, no frill, but effective.
i just eat whatever my mom cooks for me, so i dont have as much control of the food i eat as i probably need. Im 17 and feel like im doing fine with homecooked food for now, i have started getting into the gym and im feeling alot better
I’m glad I found your channel. It motivated me to get back to being healthy and fit. I’m currently 258lbs, 5”10. It’s going to take a lot of dedication, and a whole lot more of consistency. I’m looking forward to my end goal which is getting lean, it will be awhile but I know for sure it will be worth it.
Finally! thanks! There are a lot of fitness youtubers (that are quite great though) but that constantly talk about like hours and hours and hours in the gym per day, of course they want a big buff body (which is quite okay too), and getting like 2.2 gr of protein per kg (which is like 200 gr of protein!!) , which is pure madness , not even with shakes i could try to reach that. I do like their scientific approach , since i can get the bases from them ,and build from that (for example i take 1.0 gr of protein per kg, which like you said, equals around 100 gr , a little less even) and a much slower pace than them (15 min of workout at most for resistance training) and is have been working quite good. On the same note, i have found something similar to you, i want a slim, strong body, not a really big buff body, but it's have been quite harder to found someone that express their point of view like you. I also love different kinds of food (i even make homemade chocolate, using blue cheese, and different kind of things), so having a point of view like you helps a lot!.
You are so on point in every video, especially this video. The practicality of everything you say just absolutely resonates. Supporting you all the way!!!! 👍👍👍
So glad you talked about the protein thing! I’m older and small boned. I love protein and meat but I still can’t come close to those daily protein numbers I’m told I need even with supplements, currently about 140g. I quit worrying about it and just concentrate on sticking to my calories which are pretty low for me since I’m quite sedentary other than my workouts. Still trying to increase my daily step counts which might help. But I haven’t noticed any muscle loss. My biceps right now at 60 years of age are more muscular than at any point in my life.
this is so easy compared to other diets, my maintnance is 2300 and since i started sticking to 2000 and getting 140 grams of protein, and lifting 3x a week, i look better, feel better, and can eat whatever i want
I did a 8 day fast after few months of eating just once a day. It did wonders to my brain and how I think about hunger vs what I mentally feel what my body needs. As an obese person it's really easy for me to go 1-3 days without food (even with 15k-20k steps a day with physical labor) and then I might eat anything between 800-2000 calories over 6 hour period and do it again.
agree some people in Ramadan over eat forgetting the point of Ramadan it self u either loose weight or gain so much depends on the mindset though for me Ramadan is the best time for being healthy cause most of my eating come from getting bored and stressed not hunger
It’s refreshing to hear a different narrative that is realistic for most people who wants an aesthetic pleasing physic. The other day I was about to order 2kg of whey protein then a day later I cancelled it. As you said, buying protein could be expensive and I didn’t want to be dependent on that product so I told myself that I would enjoy food and at the same time being mindful of what I eat. What you said about decision fatigue hits me because I exactly felt that way about getting my protein. In the end sustainable effort will always win
I eat the same way I workout, small amounts throughout the day, and that’s been working really well for me. If I eat I workout, if I workout I eat. Now they are just like little happy partners in my mind.
"their relationship with food is kinda messed up." this is pretty much exactly it, and it's the difference between the wildly shredded fitness models and influencers you typically see, and most regular people. it's why most people will never look like what they imagine a 'very athletic person' looks like- you have to be wildly athletic AND have what most people would consider to be an eating disorder of some kind to look that way. and that disorder doesn't mean starving yourself or whatever else... it's just this insane super clinical approach to food. my buddy's roommate was on that 140g/day+ of protein regiment, and we were calling his meal prep that he did "suicide chicken" because by like 2 months in, he was just severely depressed lmao.
the amount you eat is crucial and the most important aspect to any type of diet. You need to find a food thats nice/tolerable and keeps you full while still being in a calorie deficit. so i maintain a food and time restrictive diet. ive tried both alone, ive tried various degrees of calorie restriction and ultimatley, if you get to the evening and your stomach is hurting, youll fail. find the perfect calories defecit and youll be successful with either type of diet. my magic number is between 1700 and 1800 calories. im 37, 6 foot male and lift weight three times a week. i consume around 150 grams of protien, lots of green veg and a very small amount of rice and oats as my carbs.
Such a refreshing take on this matter. It literally feels like a protein craze with everything nowadays; protein cookies, chips, even protein water it’s nuts. I just wanna live life man 😂
I got very lean with intermittent fasting but it also gave me a nasty eating disorder that I’m still dealing with. The obsessiveness combined with way too low body fat led to binge eating and so much stress. I would give anything to go back a few years when I didn’t give a shit about what I ate and was lean and healthy.
When I was 21, I was skinny, and when I took the time to go to the gym, I got big and bulky. At first it was nice, but now I’m trying to get lean and toned, I wouldn’t even mind being skinny again because other than flexing I don’t really have anything to prove to get jacked and have big muscles.
i laughed so much at the math comment cuz i didn't even notice at first. thank you, really! i discovered you channel accidentaly and not a long time ago. and it feels like i found the right person:) im going to apply your tips into practice and do my best. and yeah, once we meet, we would definitely talk about food for hours. i totally feel you 😂😭
Hey man, I just wanted to say I love the videos here and the knowledge you share which while it may or not be known by others, is very succinct and to the point! Keep it up bro, you've been also showing me that I should go ahead and document my own personal journey through fitness and wellbeing!
You are right about the over eating thing. I do medium intensity workout everyday but the problem is my diet asian cooking you always have rice can't manage much without it but the other thing is try to manage 2 meals a day and eat some fruits in the morning but one day i can go with it but the other i end trying to eat all this sweet stuff.
I've never really had a problem with the discipline of eating the same foods or anything. Season that chicken! Lol. I eat only lean foods and whey isolate protein even and I am on a 6 day ppl workout. Its my life of course its not for everyone but I actually love it and knowing I'm getting closer to what I want feels good! Tracking macros isn't always easy, I just don't wanna lose progress on something I work so hard on so it's like another part of my day and I've learned to enjoy it!
I eat chicken breasts like a bag of chips. BBQ 30 of them on Sunday. Always trying new ways to marinate and spice them. Then snack on them throughout the week at work. I have no stress doing it this way as being disciplined is what work is all about anyway. And eat whatever is put in front of me on weekends. Cause it's playtime. My workouts are similar with microbursting on the gymnastics rings at work. And doing 2 or 3 sessions of pumps and jumps for cardio at the bike park each week. This fun approach keeps me ripped 6ft 178lbs at 52yr.
For people who want super easy protein. 1 lb of lean ground turkey is around 100g of protein. Have that throughout the day if your like me eat that shit all at once. Put some amazing spices, rice, some onions or veggies in with it. Its amazing. One meal all your protein DONE
Time restricted diet with less carbonhydrates works for me really well. Lost like 60kg over the past years and I have no problems maintaining my weight. I am around 100kg with 2m now. edit: I LOVE pasta and I am certain that I will never quit it. It is all about quantity and timeframe.
I usually eat a balanced breakfast early in the morning like 7am or 8am then work an 8 hour day then go to the gym and then go home and have a one portion dinner of whatever I'm gonna make so that I burn all the calories I had in the morning all day I add a morning exercise too just to do meditation, stretch, and wake up a bit
Eat enough protein and stay at a slight caloric deficit, lift weights and walk a lot daily. That's it.
pretty much what i am doing currently though I've been going off track a bit the past 2 weeks👍
Easy if you have a ton of down time. Spending 1hr in the gym and 1hr+ walking is not realistic for most people (in the US) . I go with running or biking. Takes less time to burn just as much calories but to the detriment of recovery.
@@stephen_nicholson_iii3549 yes it's true, Americans work hard and don't get many holidays.
I spend 45 min gym 4 times a week. Maybe HIIT can be added instead of walking.
@@stephen_nicholson_iii3549 any form of activity is great, but lifting also really helps you stay lean. I find I am leaner when I am focusing my efforts on lifting, as opposed to cardio based activities. I’ve lived both worlds as a did an iron man in 2018, and even though I was cycling and running mad miles, I was skinny fat. But when I lift and focus on protein and gaining muscle, my body has such a higher energy expenditure that it’s easier to stay leaner. Plus your cravings aren’t as intense as when you’re doing cardio.
I’d recommend trying to get in there even 2-3 times a week. Especially as a man, it’s great for our hormones
Man saved me 15 minutes
You’ve quickly became one of my favorite life coaches. I’m down 25 pounds since December. 210-185. You helped a lot with this, just wanted to throw in a thank you.
That's the exact goal I'm aiming for. Started at 211, I'm 204 right now and 185 would be a dream.
@@Skycop24 same bro
good work man, im trying to lose 25 as well now im down 10
My diet is very simple. Caloric deficit (About 2K cal per day right now), eat only between 12PM and 8PM, 1g of protein per Kg of body weight give or take. Don't track any other macros because I know as long as I'm getting my protein and remaining in a deficit I will lose weight and keep muscle. tracking carbs and fat just adds unnecessary stress. This on top of following your minimalist training routine has made getting in shape and staying healthy so easy and stress free, I can't thank you enough for sharing your approach to health and fitness. I've always found that the fitness industry and nutrition plans over complicate everything to the point where most people with actual lives couldn't possibly follow along or understand. You're the first influencer I've ever seen talk about it in a practical, realistic and very easy to understand way. There is no bs on this channel. Much love.
Wow, you’re gonna hit 100k in just 3 months! Congrats, great job finding your niche and then hammering it hard.. love your videos, keep them coming
Thank you sir! are you an OG fan then?
Diet has always been the hardest part for me by far. Cardio and strength training are not a problem, but controlling portion sizes is a big weakness of mine. Getting it under control with intermittent fasting and calorie deficit has helped out a lot.
Try to put them in the balance till you get used to them… then you’ll get a good idea of the amounts and sizes and will be able to measure by eye
Omad saved me
@@TheCirrusIce what is Omad?
@@JoaoPedroGallavotti One meal a day
You’re a GURU, you just guessed my tdee calculated maintenance kcal, it was 2470 haha. What I’ve found to work is Whole Foods cooked three square meals a day and little to no snacks. And even then the snacks are healthy (sweet potato chips and fruit). And my exercise routine has been enjoyable the more I cut out. Cancelled gym membership and decided calisthenics was the best and jumping rope is awesome. Thank you for your inspiration. I think it’s really going to stick this time.
ive taken a similar aproach and ive seen that it has been working so far but the leaner i get is the slower i progress as far as i can tell
haha! amazing ;)
@@akeemmohammed4789 yeah ill cross that road when i get there, just gotta up the intensity
@@akeemmohammed4789 the lower your weight the lower your daily metabolic rate gets. You ll eventually need to eat less on average to keep on losing weight or move more.
I'm about to start Ramadan fasting (in Korea) next month. While the main focus is increasing spiritual awareness, I am looking to be a more disciplined in my diet. Looking to hit around 2000kcals a day with 160g or protein and 30-45 minutes of moderate intensity workouts 6x a week (mostly bodyweight and kettlebells). With BMR around 2400, hoping I can lean out a bit. Initial goal is around 82kg @ 15% body fat (186cm) and see where to go from there. Your videos have been really helpful in me coming up with this plan so thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you man.
What's so special about the "Ramadan Fasting"?
@@sm3675 Its a religious observance done with a community spirit so it feels much more rewarding than normal fasting. You feel refreshed physically, mentally and spiritually at the end of the month. Without Ramadan, you wont be able to pay me enough to dry fast 16-17 hours a day 30 days in a row.
Ramadhan kareem brother
@@neneknanako5211 Thank you brother
Damn dude. That was actually breath of fresh air to hear about the protein. Was losing my mind trying to keep it up lol and knew how unsustainable it was. was eating 170g a day and just eating bowls of ground meat and used to love cooking and eating. Think the mental drain of just losing that as a hobby is enough of a reason to broaden the scope a bit and get back to it. thanks man
So happy you touched on protein. I agree moving forward my goal is just going to be 100g instead of 140/150 it’s too difficult
Yeah, 100 is perfect. I was doing 140 plus and I got God damned fucking kidney stones
@@kylep3759 sounds like you didn’t drink enough water
@@lucasspielmann4387 Nope, I drink plenty of water daily. Too much protein = kidney stones. I don't wish this upon anyone but you might find out the hard way
@@lucasspielmann4387 most likely
Balance, harmony and a good relationship with life. Beautiful video!
Been watching your videos lately and I love your simple approach! Would love to see more videos about cookinh simple meals on a day to day basis. As a student with so many other time committments it can be hard to be able to cook healthy meals with protein. Would love to see you tackle that issue and I think a lot of your viewers will also enjoy! Thanks again and I think your channel is going to crush it this year!
Cooking vids coming!
Ramadan! Haha glad you pointed out the religious fasting of Muslims! By the way as a American Muslim viewer I love your videos and since I started watching your videos 3 weeks ago I’ve gotten inspired to intermittent fast and have lost 8+ lbs. thank you!!
i like this guys vibes, super chill. no stress. still gains
I love your approach it’s very practical and realistic. I’m down over 100 pounds the point where I need to get another 20 off to start seeing some definition and I completely agree with everything you say.
That's awesome!
I swear you literally describe my lifestyle in all your videos. Thank you so much for creating such good content.
Yes this is exactly what I've said in regards to nutrition. I love food and I don't want it to feel like consuming food is a chore due to all the numbers we're trying to reach all the time.
Your channel and the "strength side" are my fav youtube channels!
I love your videos, Wanhee !! i’ve struggled with my weight & insecurities for 11 years and never did anything about it because I would watch other fitness youtubers and I felt like I couldn’t just give up everything I love to eat in exchange for chicken and rice for the rest of my life. I thought that was the only way to lose weight because it was heavily promoted. you have changed my perspective and now I am excited to begin this journey. first two weeks have been great ! Thank you ❤️
Calorie deficit helped me lose 20 pounds in 2022. This year I’ve focused on protein, not obsessing but just making sure I eat more protein including snacks (Greek yogurt, string cheese for example) and strength training. Already looking more lean
a message i needed to hear right about now. i've been on my fitness journey since October of 21, slowly making changes in my diet and exercise habits. i'm down to 16% body fat, but at times i still feel like my goals are so far out of reach and then the sacrifices i've made to get here feel so overwhelming that i wonder if it is all worth it. logically, i know i'm on the right track i just need to readjust and maybe be a bit more kind to myself. i like the intermittent fasting approach - seems a bit more reasonable than constantly wondering if i've had enough protein or if i should be counting every macro religiously or i've been to the gym enough, etc etc. thank you again - wise words indeed.
A lot of these fitness influencers talk about their diet and their training regimen like it's easy to do for the average guy. Thank you for being as relatable as possible. Your content is awesome!
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?
Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.
This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
I love that you talk about the mental energy exertion & decision fatigue/stress, very useful. This resonates with me greatly

Wxactly what I needed to hear. Getting back in shape and time restrictive is si much easier and feels easier to keep things in check
Hands down the best mind and fitness channel 🙌🏼 it’s about balance and finding what works for you and your body. I’ve lost 6kg in the last 4 months and now reaching my lean weight. Thanks bro
at 14:00 your pronunciation of "tartiflette" was spot on, I was shocked
(I'm French)
so awesome to see I'm getting recommendations of minimalist fitness enthusiasts. I am just done with generic bodybuilding routines that basically fatigue you from the lifestyle. Now, we can go back to just enjoying a sustainable training and eating life.
So glad you talked about this. One of the reasons I have so many setbacks is because I get tired of the mental fatigue of keeping track of all the protein and having that messed up relationship with food
I have never been fat, but i started looking for advices for being lean and doing calisthenics. Really good stuff man, thank you!
You are a good dude , keep this up.. great honest chilled content
Fasting worked for me for a short period of time….and yes you don’t realize how much more you are eating when it’s time to eat… and as a result I gained all the weight back (plus some). I started doing the OLD small 4-5 meals a day since it is what I was doing before fasting. I’m seeing results as my weight is starting to go down.
The way you explain is like someone trying to tell truth because you did for your health and your life and not trying to advertise something. please keep it up and Thank you
Lol, you got me at, "if you love food, if you like to talk about food".... Bro... your my people! 😎👊 Keep it up man, you got some very informative videos for the masses.
This is one of the best diet and fitness videos I’ve ever seen. Really refreshing to hear this
Literally love u, I've watched so many fitness TH-camrs and ur advice just fits me and where I wanna get with my fitness journey
7:48 thank you for being so real
I want the same type of body you're talking about, which is why this has become one of my favorite channels.
Realest stuff i've ever heard... seriously good advice. saying what i've been thinking.
Brother, i've been on a OMAD diet combined with KETO in order to get some kilos down. I cut down everything, i mean EVERYTHING. I am eating only protein and a negligible amount of fats and carbs. No sugar at all, i cut down non-sugar sodas as well, as i've seen that my insulin levels are spiking even from that. I am burning fat like never before. I cannot train as i've been through surgery.. hence why i gained so much weight. But since i started this diet, i've lost 9kg in 27 days. It was a bit hard not having my daily "kinder buenos" or my "oreos" but i was determined to lose these so..appetite didn't mean shit to me. For the first time in my life, i wake up in the morning full with energy, 2-3 minutes after i wake up it's like i haven't slept at all !. It's crazy how much a healthy diet can change you. Especially when you cut down the junk food from your life. A healthy diet is everything. IT CHANGES EVERYTHING !
Just found your channel in the midst of my weight loss journey and I love the message that you're putting out there about having a good relationship with food! You should enjoy the food you eat with reason and within the parameters of your goals but I also think that having such a robotic relationship with food where everything you put in your mouth is measured to the last gram isnt great. I've been there and personally and it just gets so boring and hard to stay on track. Love the vids!
The comment about not being able to enjoy a certain food choice due to a lack of protein really hit home, especially if you are eating with your partner. We need more balance in our lives and can’t be stressing over simple things like protein targets!
I’ve never heard anyone say “decision fatigue “ before. It makes so much sense. Like the cliche Steve jobs jeans and turtle neck everyday because it’s one less decision to waste energy on.
FINALLY that protein part was really nice to hear
You really changed my perspective of looking at food. Thanks a lot man. Lots of love❤
Intermittent fasting is def the way to go! Easy to manage diet.
And I understand his points. I have similar aesthetics goals. But the middle rant is overly long!
And you absolutely can get macros in with delicious cooking if there’s a bit of planning. It definitely takes some planning to go beyond chicken breast. But it’s worth the planning. And you have to like cooking. Or at least develop a passion for it.
But if you wanna keep things simple, and if you’re an average height asian man like him or me, then his advice is very no nonsense, and straight to the point. This is like the minimalist approach, no frill, but effective.
i just eat whatever my mom cooks for me, so i dont have as much control of the food i eat as i probably need. Im 17 and feel like im doing fine with homecooked food for now, i have started getting into the gym and im feeling alot better
I’m glad I found your channel. It motivated me to get back to being healthy and fit. I’m currently 258lbs, 5”10. It’s going to take a lot of dedication, and a whole lot more of consistency. I’m looking forward to my end goal which is getting lean, it will be awhile but I know for sure it will be worth it.
3 months ago I was 230 now 190 you can do it
@@goated1265 that’s awesome! Keep going
I salute you. You speak three languages: Korean, English & TRUTH. All my support, from 🇻🇪❤️.
Finally! thanks! There are a lot of fitness youtubers (that are quite great though) but that constantly talk about like hours and hours and hours in the gym per day, of course they want a big buff body (which is quite okay too), and getting like 2.2 gr of protein per kg (which is like 200 gr of protein!!) , which is pure madness , not even with shakes i could try to reach that. I do like their scientific approach , since i can get the bases from them ,and build from that (for example i take 1.0 gr of protein per kg, which like you said, equals around 100 gr , a little less even) and a much slower pace than them (15 min of workout at most for resistance training) and is have been working quite good.
On the same note, i have found something similar to you, i want a slim, strong body, not a really big buff body, but it's have been quite harder to found someone that express their point of view like you. I also love different kinds of food (i even make homemade chocolate, using blue cheese, and different kind of things), so having a point of view like you helps a lot!.
You are so on point in every video, especially this video. The practicality of everything you say just absolutely resonates. Supporting you all the way!!!! 👍👍👍
So glad you talked about the protein thing! I’m older and small boned. I love protein and meat but I still can’t come close to those daily protein numbers I’m told I need even with supplements, currently about 140g. I quit worrying about it and just concentrate on sticking to my calories which are pretty low for me since I’m quite sedentary other than my workouts. Still trying to increase my daily step counts which might help. But I haven’t noticed any muscle loss. My biceps right now at 60 years of age are more muscular than at any point in my life.
I'm going thru it right now
Now u r talking bro... That what it should be...simplicity and consistency... Keep going
I been dieting an losing an gaining my whole life, nothing lasts forever.
most real youtube video out there fr
this is so easy compared to other diets, my maintnance is 2300 and since i started sticking to 2000 and getting 140 grams of protein, and lifting 3x a week, i look better, feel better, and can eat whatever i want
Josh Hillis has a psychological approach to healthier eating. I would highly recommend his works or GMB eating skills.
I did a 8 day fast after few months of eating just once a day. It did wonders to my brain and how I think about hunger vs what I mentally feel what my body needs. As an obese person it's really easy for me to go 1-3 days without food (even with 15k-20k steps a day with physical labor) and then I might eat anything between 800-2000 calories over 6 hour period and do it again.
agree some people in Ramadan over eat forgetting the point of Ramadan it self
u either loose weight or gain so much depends on the mindset
though for me Ramadan is the best time for being healthy cause most of my eating come from getting bored and stressed not hunger
It’s refreshing to hear a different narrative that is realistic for most people who wants an aesthetic pleasing physic. The other day I was about to order 2kg of whey protein then a day later I cancelled it. As you said, buying protein could be expensive and I didn’t want to be dependent on that product so I told myself that I would enjoy food and at the same time being mindful of what I eat. What you said about decision fatigue hits me because I exactly felt that way about getting my protein. In the end sustainable effort will always win
Your videos are oddly calming. Good stuff
I eat the same way I workout, small amounts throughout the day, and that’s been working really well for me. If I eat I workout, if I workout I eat. Now they are just like little happy partners in my mind.
"their relationship with food is kinda messed up."
this is pretty much exactly it, and it's the difference between the wildly shredded fitness models and influencers you typically see, and most regular people. it's why most people will never look like what they imagine a 'very athletic person' looks like- you have to be wildly athletic AND have what most people would consider to be an eating disorder of some kind to look that way. and that disorder doesn't mean starving yourself or whatever else... it's just this insane super clinical approach to food.
my buddy's roommate was on that 140g/day+ of protein regiment, and we were calling his meal prep that he did "suicide chicken" because by like 2 months in, he was just severely depressed lmao.
the amount you eat is crucial and the most important aspect to any type of diet. You need to find a food thats nice/tolerable and keeps you full while still being in a calorie deficit. so i maintain a food and time restrictive diet. ive tried both alone, ive tried various degrees of calorie restriction and ultimatley, if you get to the evening and your stomach is hurting, youll fail. find the perfect calories defecit and youll be successful with either type of diet.
my magic number is between 1700 and 1800 calories. im 37, 6 foot male and lift weight three times a week. i consume around 150 grams of protien, lots of green veg and a very small amount of rice and oats as my carbs.
Such a refreshing take on this matter. It literally feels like a protein craze with everything nowadays; protein cookies, chips, even protein water it’s nuts. I just wanna live life man 😂
Just the art of bulking, just eating healthy and getting enough sweat in should keep you lean with optimal weight training
I got very lean with intermittent fasting but it also gave me a nasty eating disorder that I’m still dealing with. The obsessiveness combined with way too low body fat led to binge eating and so much stress. I would give anything to go back a few years when I didn’t give a shit about what I ate and was lean and healthy.
Dude, you're so dope and thanks for simplifying everything out. Love the vibe. Stay you. Appreciate the video brother!
I just discovered your channel. Really like your approach to food and exercise. Look forward to more of this! Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
When I was 21, I was skinny, and when I took the time to go to the gym, I got big and bulky. At first it was nice, but now I’m trying to get lean and toned, I wouldn’t even mind being skinny again because other than flexing I don’t really have anything to prove to get jacked and have big muscles.
You're the first foreign that pronounce properly those names of pastas. You must really love it!
i laughed so much at the math comment cuz i didn't even notice at first. thank you, really! i discovered you channel accidentaly and not a long time ago. and it feels like i found the right person:) im going to apply your tips into practice and do my best.
and yeah, once we meet, we would definitely talk about food for hours. i totally feel you 😂😭
love your content, right mixture of mindset and action :)
Hey man, I just wanted to say I love the videos here and the knowledge you share which while it may or not be known by others, is very succinct and to the point! Keep it up bro, you've been also showing me that I should go ahead and document my own personal journey through fitness and wellbeing!
True about that. I believe having good shape is 75% diet and 25% exercise.
As an Asian foodie who is tired of chubby cheeks and wants to get lean, thank you for this video man 👌 Hopefully I'll get as lean as you someday!
Hey man, thanks. This answered a lot of questions for me, you have no idea how much I appreciate this. Again, thanks, and keep up the great work.
You are right about the over eating thing. I do medium intensity workout everyday but the problem is my diet asian cooking you always have rice can't manage much without it but the other thing is try to manage 2 meals a day and eat some fruits in the morning but one day i can go with it but the other i end trying to eat all this sweet stuff.
I've never really had a problem with the discipline of eating the same foods or anything. Season that chicken! Lol. I eat only lean foods and whey isolate protein even and I am on a 6 day ppl workout. Its my life of course its not for everyone but I actually love it and knowing I'm getting closer to what I want feels good! Tracking macros isn't always easy, I just don't wanna lose progress on something I work so hard on so it's like another part of my day and I've learned to enjoy it!
Solid discussion. I like tuning in for the rants haha
Brilliant. I’m 65, this is very interesting and easy to understand. Thank you
Hahahaha watching this as I prepare my Iftar I head "RAMADAN, form of fasting" you cracked me up. Thanks for great video Wanhee !
I eat chicken breasts like a bag of chips. BBQ 30 of them on Sunday. Always trying new ways to marinate and spice them. Then snack on them throughout the week at work. I have no stress doing it this way as being disciplined is what work is all about anyway. And eat whatever is put in front of me on weekends. Cause it's playtime. My workouts are similar with microbursting on the gymnastics rings at work. And doing 2 or 3 sessions of pumps and jumps for cardio at the bike park each week. This fun approach keeps me ripped 6ft 178lbs at 52yr.
Sunday posts >>
you talk sense and truth God bless you!
seriously great work on these vids- not a big comment guy but figured I'd drop in. Keep up the good work!
I love how informative these videos are! I can’t wait for the skinny fat video because that’s where I’m at huhu.
This vid made me subscribe. I couldn't agree more.
For people who want super easy protein. 1 lb of lean ground turkey is around 100g of protein. Have that throughout the day if your like me eat that shit all at once. Put some amazing spices, rice, some onions or veggies in with it. Its amazing. One meal all your protein DONE
The best video so far
OMG your channel was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
Thank you for the great info! I've been trying to be more fit for my up coming track season and this helped alot.
Bro your videos are the most inspiring ones I’ve found when it comes to diet. Thanks for being awesome 👍
The French accent for Tartiflette seems really natural. Were you leaving in France ?
Wanhee your body looks beautiful so all of your hard work has definitely paid off. You are an inspiration! Thank you 😊
You’re so right about the protein. Hard for me to enjoy pasta or even a sandwich without making sure there’s at least 30g somewhere
this is the first video i ve seen of yours and i love your vibe, the video is very educational and enjoyable too , ive subscribed :)
I totally feel you on the carbs. Carbs imo are the most enjoyable foods
Time restricted diet with less carbonhydrates works for me really well. Lost like 60kg over the past years and I have no problems maintaining my weight. I am around 100kg with 2m now.
edit: I LOVE pasta and I am certain that I will never quit it. It is all about quantity and timeframe.
Protein pasta doubles the protein content for also very few carbs and it contains fiber, but it tastes the same to me
@@muscularclassrepresentativ5663 Thank you, I am going to try it.
very nice non bullshit video, thank you good sir.
I usually eat a balanced breakfast early in the morning like 7am or 8am then work an 8 hour day then go to the gym and then go home and have a one portion dinner of whatever I'm gonna make so that I burn all the calories I had in the morning all day I add a morning exercise too just to do meditation, stretch, and wake up a bit
This dude's speaking facts
When are you coming out with a cook book?
