2.5+ liters of water a day, black coffee, grilled chicken/steak with vegetables + daily vitamins, and he'd lose 100lbs in 3-5 months without even working out. He is absolutely cheating his diet behind the scenes!
Since we know that energy can not be created, only converted to different forms, and that he is somehow gaining fat despite being in a calorie deficit we can safely conclude that Charlie Rocket is a God who can conjure matter out of nothing.
Breaking the 1st Law of Thermodynamics since 2017... ...or just being retarded and not actually counting your calories properly. In a battle between a 1-hour-run V. a Mars bar, the Mars bar always wins.
As far as functional systems go, im always impressed with humans and calorie consumption. You can do a hard cardio session and burn hundreds of calories, but you can gain all that energy back in like 2 minutes with one cheeseburger or a couple candy bars. It sucks if you're trying to lose weight, but from a survival standpoint it's amazing
@@doctorbashir3497 are you insane? Catch any animal, it will contain muscle and fat. There you go. Eat pure fat and tell me it doesn't satisfy you or make you gain weight. It's caloric as fuck bro
@@doctorbashir3497 probably eat straight animal fat. Although Big Macs only have 560 calories, its that much compared to eating like pasta plate that is over 2000 calories.
Everything Derek speaks about in relation to calorie counting, weighing, burning, etc is something I've experienced. I lost 110lbs over a 3 year journey. Some people might say that's a slow process and if you break it down, it is, even at 4lbs lost a month. However, as I was going through the process I was starting to become aware of things I was doing and not doing. Because I was so fed up with not getting to the result I wanted as fast as I wanted, I started wavering during the 3 years. I stopped counting calories as accurately. I stopped weighing all my food as accurately. It got to the point that all the little things started adding up in a big way. Another thing I noticed was that I gave myself a little bit of a treat once a week, which was fine at first. However, I slowly started giving myself more treats, more frequently thinking "oh this little bit wont hurt". While it might not have hurt initially, eventually I ended up about a mile of course because I kept saying "a little bit more, a little bit more". Things like that you don't notice unless you really look back on yourself and create some introspection. I feel for this Charlie guy because i've been there. But there's gotta be more to this.
Thanks for sharing! I am taking the slow route. I was severely ill in 2021 and gained almost 50lbs. Once I recovered all I did was shrink my meals/ make healthy versions of foods I liked and went for 2 mile walks 5-7 days/week and lost 25lbs by the end of that year (in 6 months). I’m not in a rush to loose weight either (since I have no health problems related to weight) and at the time I couldn’t do too strenuous physical activity. I was overweight to begin with but that extra 50lbs was the shock I needed. So far this year I’ve lost another 15lbs this time focusing on a calorie deficit with low- moderate carbs (with no scheduled exercise just my daily activity). I plan to add a fitness routine back into my schedule soon. I still eat junks here and these and like you gone too far but as long as we catch ourselves we should be proud of the self awareness to stop and be mindful not defeated by the cravings. I think people over complicate and stress themselves out which can be counterproductive.
As a fellow fatty looking to get fit what is helping me is tracking both burn and intake. Using a fitness tracker that can do calories. I blasted off 12 lbs in roughly 4 weeks. Able to adjust workout and diet on the fly depending on my numbers to stay roughly consistent with weight loss goals.
The dude is a genius. He’s just doing the ultimate clickbait move to bait in all the fitness channels to talk about him. He’s clearly just doing it all for views. Nobody in their right mind believes that he is actually eating in a calorie deficit.
I can tell that dude Charlie is full of it. He is more concerned with proving a point than actually getting to the root of the issue. You can tell he's half assing it when it comes to nutrition 💯
Or he’s in deep, deep denial. He’s got all these so-called experts around him telling him that he’s not fat and he’s just full of water. Talk about yes men.
@@tieiatalks Lol, it reminds me of how that Dr, I think they call him Dr. Now on my 600lb life gets pissed when patients try to give him the water weight excuse.
Good to see you debunk the over-complication without just casting shade on the conditions that sometimes do genuinely give people a 'bad hand'. Too many people will get dogmatic and call others liars right away - good example of how you can tell the truth brutally and charitably at the same time
I truly doubt he’s weighing every item. When I was cutting I was weighing out my fucking 2 Brazil nuts like a psychopath even though they were always the same weight.
@@abhisheksathe123 bro f that chill out abit with it. It doesn’t need to be to the dot. I lost 100lbs without tracking ketchup etc but if you do it too much you might get a eating disorder
This. Why the fuck would you make such a ridiculous video when we all know he’s cheating to fuck on his diet. Maybe he thinks if the fridge doesn’t know it’s him pillaging it the calories don’t count
I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt by saying he doesn't realise how much he is consuming due to not weighing ingredients or adding high calorie sauces but for a reasonably active person to maintain that body shape, he must be consuming a vast number of calories.
Guy said he wen't vegan AND keto; a little bit more of Keto food can mean over 1k calories you accidentally ate. One of the shittiest diet traps people can fall for.
People have no idea how easy it is to eat WAY more than they think. First time I tracked my diet, my mind was blown. Couldn't believe it. Then people think they can burn it off on the treadmill or something and it's like, do you have any idea how long it takes to burn off that junk you just ate in 30 seconds? lol
Sometimes you don't realize how much food you consume until you start tracking it. I think tacking your food is great for people like that... which is most people who are very overweight. I've been tracking all my food for 7 months, cut out carbs and sugar and have gone down almost 80 lbs in that time.
If it were possible to gain weight in a caloric deficit, we’d be able to solve the worlds energy problems with perpetual motion energy. There’s no way in hell you gain weight in a caloric deficit. It’s thermodynamics, a fundamental concept in physics.
This is accurate and most likely the case in this guy’s scenario, but it’s important to remember that there are various physiological factors that can affect the “output” of the caloric input/output calculation, like Andrew Huberman says
Obviously thats kinda why i hate setting these goals for yourself by thinking you'll definitely reach an arbitrary weight. And what happens when you don't? You start giving up on everything thinking its bs. Instead you have to start slow and stay consistent. Hes putting too much pressure on himself so now hes in denial
Probably right at the edge of a deficit on paper, but he's actually in a slight surplus. It's not that hard to just modify your diet and eat smaller portions. He's doing so much, but he fucks up the one small little detail that actually matters.
@@riczz4641 he’d at least be able to enjoy some anabolic French toast and some score protein bars. Actually I made protein ice cream recently and it was amazing 😝. Though I switched to halo as a big carton is 330 cal And 20g protein. Delicious too! Like real deal ice cream. My new fav thing lol. Being in a deficit is easy. Don’t need a cook book to come up with good stuff.
@@DmacJitsu Ultimately his videos are like the Liver King's "Stack" video, and his "I'm doing everything right, I don't understand why I'm not getting results" is more or less the same as LK's "I don't even know where to get that stuff".
Well, they've got a few scientific studies in controlled metabolic wards that even when people are taught how to weight their food and count their calories, they are horrific at it almost always eating considerably more than they are supposed to.
For me a lot of the diet advice didn't work until I started intermittent fasting. One of the biggest benefits I got from intermittent fasting, was food discipline. It helped me gain control of my emotional/impulsive eating. Training my body for when it's time to eat, and when it's time to fast.
Yeah I do the same, for me it's 6/18 with very occasional cheat days when I'm out, and this was the easiest to follow simple tool to use. Do you train on a fast or in a eating window? I love cardios on a fast in the morning and it stops the hunger for me even more!
I developed more food discipline after just attempting keto and intermittent fasting. It was shocking to realize that I thought eating all day long was normal. Like, literally snacking alllll day. I really shook myself out of it. Now, even though I don't do keto and am on more of a lower carb Mediterranean thing, I don't feel the need to have a snack all the time between meals. I especially enjoy eating dinner and then just being done, like no after dinner anything. I've never liked eating after dinner, nor eating a late dinner, and now I can really stop before 7pm like a normal person.
@@erinlikesacornishpasty4703 Bro, this. I don't really follow an intermitent fasting routine strictly but I've been on OMAD for a while. Now I can eat less without any issues, like sure I broke my fast because I had a meat stick half an hour ago... but It's the only 100 calories my body has gotten since Monday. And I go lift everyday on top so technically I'm at negative caloric intake. I can go through the week just like that now, hell I just didn't eat yesterday because I wasn't hungry, and I know I'm seeing a friend tomorrow for dinner so might as well just eat something to calm my anxiety (the meat stick) and wait until tomorrow's evening to have a good 2 course meal. Might not be "real fasting" but it's helping me burn fat like crazy
Unless you have been fat it is difficult to understand the delusions you find yourself believing. Looking back at my old lifestyle is it mind boggling how I thought I was eating/exercising in a way that would lead to weight loss. As you say though, it is not complex. Once I started walking 5 miles a day and maintained a pretty significant calorie deficit (900/1000) while eating sensibly (no junk food, dessert, limited carbs etc replaced by a lot of grilled chicken/salmon and roasted veg as well as a bunch of other stuff, including regular Pakistani food now and then). Went from 84kg to 62kg in five months. It can be done, you just have to stick to it. You got it!!
We have similar stories except I went from fit, to fat, to back to fit. I was 140-145 lbs and in 1.5 years I became the heaviest I ever weighed at 210 lbs. In 2020 I dropped down to 148 lbs in about 6ish months. I believe the difference between someone such as myself thats been fit most of their life and became obese and a person thats always been obese/significantly overweight comes down to mindset because CICO works across the board. I always knew what I was working towards because I'd been where I was trying to go and I already had strong dicipline and work ethic established from being fit previously. All I had to do was get the ball rolling mentally to physically do the necessary things and adhere to the positive habits to lose the weight which I had allowed to stop rolling which got me fat in the first place. Someone thats never been fit/a healthy body weight doesnt have that internal image of themselves to drive them and needs to build that mental strength from scratch to be able to adhere to a diet/excerice routine consistently and get that metaphorical ball rolling, so they can stay consistent and achieve results.
Yep i feel this. I'm working on losing weight as well after gaining 100 lbs over the last 6 years. I started at 6'3 330 lbs and I find myself all the time thinking "oh, i did good today, I'll eat a cookie." I'm down to 320, have lost 10 lbs in the last month, which I'm sure is water weight. I started to do 4-5 miles on my stationary bike every day to help. I've been eating around 2k calories a day.
This reminds me of something I heard years ago about the emotional connection to food and denial hurting dieting efforts. If your dog gets really fat and you take it to the vet, what is the vet going to tell you? "Your dog probably has a leptin deficiency. Let's get some bloodwork and prescribe him some medication." "Has your dog tried hot yoga and running on the beach?" No. The vet is going to tell you the dog is eating too much. Why? Because it's obvious. If your dog was fat, you'd feed it less, and the problem would resolve itself. When people are fat, they want to believe anything but the amount of food they're eating is to blame, and it prevents them from addressing the real issue.
@@bigbobbacharcoal You don't want to eat too few calories because you'll eventually break and binge on fried chicken in ice cream dip later. Everyone knows that... You can only get away with it if something socially important is distracting you from going to eat pretty much 24/7, which doesn't happen in westernized atomized societies, it's way too easy to got to get food.
I started my weight loss journey this past October. I was almost 400 lbs and so far have lost 75 lbs towards my goal of reaching 225 lbs. The thing a lot of people don’t realize when they try to lose weight is that you will go up and down depending on a ton of factors. The other thing a lot of people forget to take into account is cooking oils. A tablespoon is 100 calories so it can add up quickly if you aren’t being mindful of how much you are using. A lot of times when I have eggs I’ll spray the pan and wipe off any excess oil so it doesn’t impact my count for the day but I’ll still record it as the full amount regardless.
@@jeanneann3545 I started with Noom but completed all the lessons so now I use my fitness pal. It’s also a good idea to get a food scale so you can weigh what you eat.
Stopped weighing myself and took photos of my body instead motivated me more as I saw results in the photos and stopped being a slave to the weighing scale.
I went through the same thing as him for 2 months. I was doing 60 min weight sessions 5x per week and 10,000 steps daily and didn’t lose any weight but thought I was in a deficit. I ended up counting the calories off the labels and weighing raw foods instead of myfitnespal’s generic values and now I’m down 22kg in the past 4 months. Even a single piece of lean beef can vary 100-150 calories due to the fat content being different in every single cut - that’s upto 700+ calories per week just in one item of food in a diet.
That's great to hear. But just a heads up, you can also scan the barcode of almost any food and get the exact macros for that specific product, so you don't have to do the counting through the labels.
It's not necessarily the calories but the quality of the food, getting overly hung up on net weight loss and caloric deficient can end up backfiring your body might simply be keeping the same or similar net weight but be losing fat and gaining muscle
I love how when weightloss things become more trendy it’s starts to get really complicated and people start to think that because you meditate and cut the coffee and things like that you will directly lose weight. I can see how in future people are like ”damn I did some charity work, called my parents to say hi, opened door to an old lady and still I can’t lose weight”
@@Caffeine_Addict_2020 yeah, I don’t know if it just that American people think Starbucks when they think coffee. Here in Finland we don’t have Starbucks and many of us are used to drinking coffee without anything and I don’t hear anyone saying anything unhealthy about coffee.

I’ve lost 180lbs and what Derek has said is exactly right. I weighed and tracked everything that went into my mouth. It’s the only way to lose weight and when people ask me what to do that’s what I tell them. Exercise is important, but even if you don’t want to exercise you can lose weight. It’s not just controlling what you eat, it’s knowing what you eat too.
You don't need to exercise to lose weight. You usually should because it's healthy, it's also easier to burn those extra 200-300 calories which is half a meal, and it's also better for your body to use the stored fat and keep the muscle mass in place. You might lose less weight but you'll definitely lose more fat
Counting everything works. I stopped eating candy from candy jars because I hated counting the calories from snacking. Logging 3 M&M and 1 Reece's mini one handful of potato chips I found was a pain to track. So I was just avoid eating them because I hated tracking it.
@@twizack22 I avoid food like that because I’m never satisfied when I eat them. I never get full when I snack on junk Stuff like that adds up really quick.
@@jahmarianthomas7684 The kale on its own is a very healthy cruciferous vegetable. Pasta isn’t necessarily bad, but enriched flour is empty carbs because the enriching process removes most of the nutrients.

If it were me I’d ditch the pasta and add another, better, carb source.

@@renzgraal he "scientists" literally said that you can't burn fat while insulin is up and that Leptin is a hormone that "signals your brain to burn fat", the guy is clearly being lied to and I wouldn't doubt those guys told him that calories from fat don't count or some other bullshit of the sort I've heard around
He's clearly lying. I went from 235 to 175 in a 4 months. I excercised everyday and ate way less, even fasted for 24 hours on 2 ocassions. Never had to do nearly half of all that BS to know if I would lose weight. It's simple af. I did almost everything wrong and still managed to lose way more than this guy. And if he was an athlete as he says this should be a piece of cake. If he really was fucked, he would've never looked good before to begin with.
I’m nit disagreeing that at the end of the day this bro is lying somewhere but immune and metabolic issues can occur later in life and drastically impact your bmr. More common in women but not impossible in dudes.
I've been walking 3 miles a day and doing the Carnivore diet for 2 weeks (I don't even count my calories,) and I have already lost 20 pounds. Either he is cheating on his nutrition, or he is gaining muscle so fast from working out everyday that he has gained weight because he hasn't burnt off excess fat yet. Really shouldn't look at the number of pounds. Should be more concerned about body fat percentage.
After I fled Melbourne during the lockdowns, I put on about 20-22kgs. 7 months of almost no work, not allowed to leave the house and a depression of just sitting inside and playing video games all day waiting for things to return to normal so I could do anything again. I turned up to Far North Queensland at 95kgs and a massive gut.. And the trick was just to stop eating, not to a point where it was unhealthy but eating simple meals and still feeling hungry/not resorting to snacks. I'm almost to where I was in 2020, and back to working out.. But when people work out they need to eat, so if you're already fat you'll eat even more.. Get to around the weight you want then start putting on the muscle.. If you're a regular guy you can't start beefing up when your way past the weight you want to be at.
There was/is an interesting show in the UK where a large (overweight) family agrees to be surveilled for a week to see what they eat. What they consume is incredible. One mother was consuming her daily calorie allotment in just alcoholic beverages just around dinner. People were consuming and not even realising it. Once they realised what they were doing many people dropped weight quite quickly. It takes a lot of calories to maintain a high weight.
I'm 245 ins and have a decent amount of muscle. This guy weighs less than me but somehow thinks he's in a deficit at 2200 Cals? My BMR is 2,143 calories this guy is eating more and he has less muscle. He needs to cut his calories by atleast 500.
Yeah that was my first thought, wouldn’t be surprised if down the road he miraculously starts losing weight after hopping on pills that fix his “problem”. He knows what he’s doing.
"Eat less" is annoyingly simple and yet.. painfully accurate. I can put my cat on a diet and he'll become slim, guaranteed. I'll get annoyed at the meowing, but it's not that hard to ignore. However, the "meowing" in my brain is MUCH MUCH harder to ignore and suddenly i'm looking in the fridge for something. Mindlessly. Self control/will power is 100% of it.
He’s simply cheating his diet. I remember trying to lose weight and having spurts where I’d overeat, but convincing myself I was at a calorie deficit, and so I’d feel like there was nothing I could do to lose weight. It wasn’t until I started actually counting calories and having the determination to burn every single calorie over my limit where I started seeing results.
I don't know that you have to weigh all the food. I've lost weight pretty consistently just by calculating calories within a decent accuracy level. What you do need to do is be mindful of what you're eating and make sure you're accounting for everything you eat. In my experience weighing everything is a demotivating step
@@johnyoung3397 I had fun calculating calories and such, so it wasn’t such a big deal for me. I understand it may be daunting to others, but in my experience, I had no idea how many calories I was supposed to be eating vs how many calories I was actually eating. Being meticulous about what I ate helped me better estimate average caloric values.
@@EpicCoolGuy21 yeah I'm not judging your method, different things work for different people. And I'm not saying don't be meticulous as I would consider what I do in estimating calories fairly meticulous. I do account for every ingredient in every snack I consume. I'm just saying that there is a point where agonizing over small details is hurting more than it's helping, where that point is depends on the individual
On top of likely underestimating his calorie intake, I think he's probably also overestimating how much he's burning. Cardio doesn't burn as much as most people think and it looks like he's focused on cardio as his primary form of exercise. Cardio is important and a fantastic tool during cuts, but man people be thinking they can go for a 15-30min run and they can afford to eat a couple extra slices of pizza while still being in a deficit. This shit isn't complicated but people gotta stop lying to themselves.
Yeah for real. I’ve been there myself before. It’s easy to overestimate how many calories you burned at the gym, even though the cardio aspect of it has a “rough” estimate shown on the machines. You burn way less than you think at the gym, and that piece of cheesecake has more than you think. I used to work at this chicken joint down the street from a gym, and the amount of fat people who would come in in workout clothes 2x a week to eat after the gym baffled me. Sure, you worked out for an hour, but then you went and ate a biscuit, macaroni, 3 fried chicken tenders brushed with lard and spices (nasheville style hot chicken place, that’s how it’s made. Spices are warmed in lard, then a paintbrush is used to coat them on the chicken. It’s great stuff, but it should be a 1x a month or less kinda treat. Never weekly)
@@BastosFC2 idk that dude but I stay at ~10% bf eating 3000/day. Alternating running and rock climbing and mountaineering on weekends. I mean a 15k run with some elevation is approx 1200 active calories (at least that's what my Garmin says)
I totally agree about calorie deficit, step count, and calorie counting. I was at a point where I ate healthy and in a 500 calorie deficit working out none stop with strength training, hiit, and cardio and counting calories and I didn't make any progress with losing weight. I come to realize how powerful walking really is. And how addicting to boost your step counts by 10k then 25k, and then 30k as you consistently walking everyday. Not only walking help you lose a few pounds every week, it helps you to stay moving and be active all day. It also strengthens your power for others' activities like running and lifting. For love of god, walk 10k steps a day and slowly increase your step count.
I've been telling myself the same shit. I only had few extra kilos to lose but once I started counting everything and rocking that 1g of protein per pound of bw, I dropped 7 kilos and gained some muscle mass along the way (6 months) without changing my workout plan. Stop the excuses and be accountable of your actions 💪
exactly. literally so easy to drop weight especially at his weight. its ALL food. I did cardio for years with a fucked diet and got nowhere. when I finally dialed in my eating, I cut my cardio down drastically and lost 10lbs. im now roughly 10% body fat with veins, abs, striations. so much wasted time on cardio when I just had to stop making excuses with my diet.

Did nobody realize in the video when he say “im at a calorie deficit” nd goes to the caloric counter its STILL over 5,000 CALORIES! Im betting his daily calorie intake was binging at a rte of 10,000 calories, leading to RAPID weight gain, and when asked by his nutritionist for his daily calorie intake, the mathematic formula used was for somebody MAINTAINING their weight, and he plugged in the maintenance calorie number into his planned macro deficit percentage calculator. This means the deficit he is eating at is a ‘deficit’ for his previous calorie surplus, but it is still a surplus for his natural bldy composition. I think this dude OBVIOUSLY could easily subtract even MORE from his deficit, since hes gaining. Youre right its not rocket science. I had the same isue when i was fat, but i IMMEADIATELY adjusted until it worked and i was honestly shocked by little we humans actually need to eat, especially if youre on the smaller size of makes like me @ 5’8”
Derek is definitely a class act for not sledge-hammering as high a level of BS as this video contains. Someone that has that much motivation to exercise and doesn’t lose any weight obviously suffers from some ED. Do they show the guy’s meals at any moment? Hormones and genetic polymorphisms only too rarely would justify such disparity - unless, of course, you’re trying to sell one of those insulinophobic theories that completely disregard the protective effect of carbs for muscle tissue…
Derek's gotta be a little careful if he's too harsh, could be bad for business, in a very literal sense of the phrase. But I do think that's just how he is. Derek probably doesn't see this as abhorrent as Greg Doucette; he would go off. It's a bit surprising Greg doesn't get cancelled for how "harsh" he can be. Defying reality, harder than last time
Is it just me, or does this guy look extremely fat for only 230 some pounds? I've seen people in the 300lb range that don't workout that don't look as fat as he does. He either has much lower than average muscle mass or he is very short.
Through my years of weight cuts, what I’ve come to realize (for me at least), is that you know, and you feel when you’re losing because I’m generally in a constant state or hunger. I’ve also realized how easy it is to ruin a deficit.
Yep, I starve after waking up for like 7 hours, then plan 3 meals with exact calories and exact times when im allowed to eat them before I goto sleep, can't mess up with a plan.
You’re absolutely right, that mild hunger feeling is the feeling of being in a deficit. You need to be able to recognise it and it took me 4 or 5 cuts before I did. It’s ultimately knowing your body.
I always found it funny that i started thinking of food more than sex. Its like u lying in bed your thoughts wander and ure thinking about that turkish man offering u a kebap and saying that will be 6.50 pls......
Its easy. He not putting in the work. Ive done 60lbs in 2 months doing hiit cardio on a punchingbag everyday for 1hr and then 1hr of full body weights workouts, plus eating healthier. Yah it takes alot of willpower but its really not that hard, and i do it like every other year when im becoming fat again, slim down and the 304s are back. Anybody who says they cant is bs themselves, Try harder or do what i did 🤷🏻♂️ also dont dwell on being fat, matter of fact dont even look in ther mirror for progress untill like 2-3 weeks after you’ve seriously started and you’ll notice the difference, i promise.

I had a long time where I thought I was in a deficit until I started weighing my food and counting calories and realized I was being a fatass 🤣... went from 225 to 195 in 2.5 months since then while actually gaining strength back in the gym after a hiatus. Feelin good.
17:35 His "calories" on his phone flashed between 3548 and 4477. Sorry, I'm calling "bullshit" on his deficit based on that alone. He describes what he cut out, not what he's actually eating. He CLAIMS it's a deficit. I can also demolish an entire pack of bacon and not take in a carb or a sugar. Nope... we are not getting the real picture at all. "You see what I'm doing!". No, we see what you're sharing... and not buying it.
In that app that value shown is his BMR + exercise. It is not calories consumed but calories "burned". His BMR is probably around 3.5K just on its own. So those values that flash on screen are what you get from something just above sedentary levels of daily movement. I can easily hit 4K calories burned on my Fitbit just from being on my feet around the office rather than sitting still all day. If I go out and walk for 45-60mins at a brisk pace with some light jogging mixed in then I can easily get that number over 6K. If I maintain a 4K daily deficit in Fitbit then I lose weight. but a 500cal deficit in Fitbit and I gain hard. I think the rule of thumb for however Fitbit is calculating calories burned is that you need to keep your BMR+500 as your daily deficit value in order to lose weight. Seeing such large deficits in the app it can be very tempting to over eat and convince yourself that you are still on track.
@@MadnessQuotient Only if he actually qualified as "heavy exercise" which sounds like more than he' actually putting out, and that's best-case for the lower figure. Unless he's planning an being a literal super-athlete and then somehow burning that higher rate to eat the low as calories I'm still not buying it. He's clearly not eating what he thinks is he, or is claiming he is. I did 232->172 in 94 days age 46 (almost 15 years older than him) @ 6'2 ending Feb last year. CICO rules all. I was very frugal with my calories, extremely consistent with my eating, and did a tons of cardio on the elliptical.
I met a woman at the laundry mat. She said , she couldnt lose weight. She said she had a medical issue. She said she only ate 1200 calories a day. The funny thing is: she ate 2000 calories in ice cream with syrup and cookie crumbs at the same time as she is telling me this (the laundry mat is next door to a ice cream shop) people seem completely blind to themselves
Burning up to 3800 calories a day? Mega doubt. Even when I was working out, with my heaviest sessions of cardio, on top of a full work day, I'd *maybe* top out at 2900 calories, but I always dropped the number to 2700 to be more realistic. That's hitting 20-35 minutes of sustained cardio after my lifting, and all of my job's walking. Someone has fed this man some bullshit numbers, and he really shouldn't be needing many supplements for his diet for losing weight.
I was taking in 6k a day and lost 50lbs but that was because of my job. It’s one of the most demanding jobs 😅 pulling green chain, ain’t nothing like pulling 6x12 24’ 10 hours a day. When we did 2x4 it was basically cardio time. Every one ate like hogs and was skinny.
Ehh youre wrong. If you work all day in a physical labour job you can easily burn 100/kcals an hour. Add weight training and cardio on top of that and 3.5k is pretty reasonable.
Depending on BW too. If you, for example weigh 100kg with 20% bf and do regular weight lifting 5x a week with some mild strain over the course of the day like school or a job, you can reach 2500-2800 calories without even trying.
You can easily do that in a full day of snowboarding if the mountain isn't too busy. I've had my fitbit read 5,600 calories burned after a long day of snowboarding, although I always assume that estimate to be over by at least 20%.
@@basedphilosopher 3500 is reasonable if you have a demanding job and workout heavily Rocket doesn’t have a demanding job His BMR is probably a thousand and he’s probably burning another thousand so he’s in a surplus at 2200-2400 If you burn3500 a day everyday you’d be skinny as a rail unless you actually tried to counter act that with your diet which would be some serious eating an
The best quote I ever heard regarding weight loss came in the 80's. During a talk show, one panel member asked a simple question: "Do you know what happened to everyone who went to a German concentration camp? They ALL lost weight." Boom! Shut the metabolisms, thyroid, diets don't work advocates right up.
Yeah I always use that example. When people say that they eat right but don’t lose fat, or when it’s their « morphology » yeah right, you would be skinny in berkenau. I don’t get why people need excuses. I am shit in so many things i have absolutly no shame in saying it. I am horrible at math so what ? « No but you know i come from a family that have bad genes in comprehension of algebra » gtfu
I too always cite that as an example - since I started as a trainer 30 years ago. My brother - a doctor - said it. also… when they take people claiming to be not be able to lose weight and put them in regimented programs where their food is absolutely controlled… the lose weight. Every time.
100%. Many years ago I had my wife’s mums friend complained about not losing weight etc etc. then I told her to break it down and it was just full of fruits at all our hours of the day. She thought eating fruit was going to help, I know u need a balance but banging fruit salads at 9pm before bed is bonkers lol
Similarly to Charlie I was in the best shape of my life like four years ago. Ran track and field, did marathons. Then I gained about 80 lbs and kept it on for 3 years until recently. Same thing happened with me. Did the workouts, tried salads and dieting but remained the same weight. It wasnt until I just started fasting for 3+ days I realized I have somewhat of a junk food addiction I developed and just didnt think much of when I cheated the diet. After I figured out the problem was in the diet and addiction I shed 50 lbs in about 5 months.
@@ermutanda3802 Practically everyone who claims they just can't lose weight is doing this. They'll eat a salad but then eat a chocolate bar, not comprehending that a single chocolate bar eaten once a day is enough to make you gain 1lb of fat every single week. Three KFC chocolate chip cookies, which are barely a mouthful each, contain an entire day's worth of calories for an adult. Contrarily, 5kg of cabbage (that's more cabbage than 5 humans could possibly eat in a day) would contain just 1000 calories: if you could somehow magically give yourself a cow's stomach capable of containing 5kg of cabbage, you could eat that whole 5kg and still be in an extreme calorie deficit for that day, but BOY would you have received a huge amount of nutrition. This is why people are fat - because fake food (which is all chocolate bars, Mcdonalds and other ultraprocessed foodstuffs) have absolutely preposterous calorie density unlike anything found in nature. Oh and, to boot, there's absolutely no nutrition of value in them - even the calories they do provide are toxins rather than nutrients unless you're extremely underweight (and even then, calories without any of the supporting nutrition might do more metabolic damage than good in such a scenario).
Man, I was 220lbs and 5'7 when I was 20. Built like this guy. The 'pity party' was super high and I felt like nothing I did 'worked' I used to wolf down shitty foods and rarely drank water. Knew nothing about training or macros. What finally blew my mind was I ran a "WhOLe mILe!" And the treadmill showed I burned 100c! 100 fuckin calories?! "Wait that's like nothing!?" From then I started working landscaping and watching my food a lot more. It took a long time but now I'm 37 and in hella good shape. It's really hard to fight your urges for shitty food when you're that size the fat like takes over your brain.
I’m 5’10 and was 210. Went to water only for liquids and only ate mostly 93/7 ground beef by itself, tilapia, and grilled chicken. Went down to 185 in a little over a month. Then down to 175 in 2 and a half months. I worked out but mostly cardio and a little bit of weights 5-6 times a week.
I was 5'7 230 lbs at 19. My car broke down and I had to walk 6 miles home from college classes(3 days a week). I waa getting a ride to school but couldn't get a ride home and rhe bus was always late so I just started walking. Lost a lot of weight fast and then once summer came, I just kept walking and eating healthy and lost over 100 lbs in about 3 months. I'm about to turn 40 and still am around 160ish. It really is a complete lifestyle change. Small improvements over time and you will see a change
I get upset when I "gain" weight on my deficit, though it's almost assuredly either water weight or I went over my calorie limit. I'm actually right on track, 8 lbs down in 8 weeks since the start of the year. I was down 10 lbs and gained back a couple over the last couple days, wish I could've just stayed ahead of schedule lol.
Calories in calories out works every time. I have been bodybuilding for almost 20 years now and have always been a good 60 pounds over. I started doing 10,000 steps a day and put myself in a 500 calorie deficit. I went from 245 to 215 and I am now maintaining before starting my deficit again. It’s been close to a year since I started this and it was not much of a change in my dieting. I still eat what I want and hit my protein intake. I just make sure I don’t eat much more then 2,100 calories a day. What really helped me was to not eat back my calories I supposedly burned. I did that and I stopped losing weight. Tells me that my calorie tracker was over estimating how many calories I burned from working out and my cardio. When I stopped eating back my calories I started to consistently loose my weight again. It was just too hard to track what I was burning. Hope this gentleman figures out his errors and starts loosing weight… he really is not that overweight. The little changes will give him the results he is looking for 🎉
Calories in calories out. When I started tracking for real it was amazing how 1 cheat meal would wreck a whole week of deficit. Sauces, creamer, some booze, that one cookie... going out to eat once. It's easier to ruin a diet than to stick to it 100%
When I was losing weight, I went on what I thought was a 2000 calorie deficit per day(Extremely unsafe I know). In around 5-6 months I had lost close to 100 lbs. A few months later I looked at the calories I tracked and the food labels for the foods I ate and I discovered huge problems with calorie tracking these foods. Companies (in the US at least) will round down their calories in labels, lower the calorie count by adding large amounts of fiber(which still count as calories due to soluble fiber), and have inconsistent weights for their foods. I actually was more in a 1300 calorie deficit. Goes to show how inconsistent labeling can affect weight loss.
This. The only way to lose weight for real is to WAY overshoot your calorie deficit. 500 calorie deficit will never work because what you think is a 500 calorie deficit is actually eating maintenance. So you go for a 1000 calorie deficit but it will actually be like 400 cal deficit and you do it for quite a long time. I feel hungry when I eat on maintenance, I feel super hungry when I eat on a deficit and I feel normal when I eat more then maintenance level. You cannot lose weight and just have fun doing it.
@@jeanbob1481 It's not the "only way to lose weight." I've been doing keto for the last 4 months. I'm down 40lbs and do not count calories at all. I just eat fresh, whole foods, no processed foods at all. Fat and Protein are pretty filling, so I naturally don't overeat. I've started incorporating Intermittent fasting and I've seen the weight loss accelerate a bit. I just don't accept that you have to obsess over every calorie or starve yourself to lose weight. You just need to be eating the right foods. The biggest lie any of us was ever told is that "a calorie is a calorie." No, calories are not all the same and they do not affect your body the same.
I have lived Charlie's situtation and the biggest problem and why it took me so long with so many failures, is that for most over weight people, they never commit to the time frame. We all have unrealistic goals and quit way to damn soon. I lost 50lbs the moment I committed to the fact that this would take probably all god damn year and that I would just stick to my routine all god damn year. Not 90 days to shred or whatever other BS people get onto. Do the most conservative math possible and plot it out. And then also account for the fact you'll have bad days, get sick, shit will come up and then plot out the worst slowest progress. Then commit to that. Becuase all the successful times will motivate you when you planned for the worst progression timeline. But I'm serious, I have a friend who unlike me still hasn't shed the 50lbs and he's always trying and quitting stuff. Looking for short cuts and magic pills. THERE IS NO GOD DAMN MAGIC PILL THERE IS NO SHORT CUT Just hard, boring, teidous work. And you gotta do it, day in and day out. And it's going to take longer than you want. I wish I looked like Derek. Well I can, but not tomorrow. Not next week and not next month. Not where I am at. But in a couple years? YES. Come back to reality. And be honest with yourselves.

@@michaelkhan7012 I think people take too much stock in a line from a movie. If you end up the villain it's because .. 1. People turn on you. No one wants a warrior during peace times 2. You were a villain all along, just doing the right things for the wrong reasons.
I think when you're very big you're in denial about what you are actually consuming until you take a closer look at every single thing you eat. Your eyes will open when you realize that ranch dressing or that BBQ sauce dip just added a few 100 calories to your daily intake. That Starbucks coffee, or those 2 cans of Coke, or those few beers or mixed drinks you have with your friends during the weekend, they are a few more 100 calories. Most people are like... "But I eat salads and lean meat, and low fat... Why?" That's why. I think it's why tracking every single thing you consume for the first few months, even the first year is imperative for weight loss, especially for very obese people like myself. Eventually, your brain really gets to that point where the new habits have formed, and a new "common sense" on nutrition kicks in. Thoughts like: "That's what a normal amount of food is." or "That muffin is 400 calories, maybe I should have something else with my coffee." become second nature. I've been tracking my calories for 7 months now and I'm down almost 80lbs (from 300 to 222) and I'll probably continue to do it for a while longer until I get to a point where--like I said before--eating properly becomes second nature to me. As for Charlie, if he's still eating at a caloric surplus without truly knowing he's doing it, no amount of exercise will help him lose weight. You can't out-exercise a bad diet.
I used to be severely hypogonadil AND hypothyroid before getting on HRT and still got to 9-10% bodyfat. Yes i had to eat like 1700-1800 calories while walking 15k steps pr day to get to my leanest of 180 lbs but it was still possible nonetheless even when having my hormones working against me which is what so many people blame. Calories in VS calories out is KING
@@josejimenez896 Prioritize walking. Take a walk during lunch, take a walk after dinner, and stay on your feet as much as you can. I averaged 17k for months just from taking my dog for long walks every day.
@@josejimenez896 Some of my cut was during lockdown so at that point it was easy. But when i was at work i would go for a walk in my lunch break instead of sitting down and eating and going for 10-20 min walks after every big meal would help me digest and also just get easy steps in. It's not as difficult as people make it out to be. Walking around in between sets at the gym also adds up to ALOT of steps sometimes 4-6k steps in a 1 hour session
Wow I first started watching you when you had around 200K subscribers and it’s so crazy to see how much you’ve grown since then. Also, this video hits home with me because I was definitely on the “insulin makes you fat” train for a long time and made me stall in my weight loss. When I finally decided to put in the work of weighing and tracking every single thing that went into my mouth, I started seeing progress again. Ever since then, I realized all those years I spent thinking it was just impossible for me to lose weight, I was just eating too much (mostly oils and butter in this horrid BPC I had every morning 🙄). It’s empowering because I no longer felt hopeless or like I had no control over it. I was morbidly obese, with PCOS, and have lost almost 100 pounds now. It is definitely achievable even with obstacles, it’s just a matter of properly tracking and weighing everything when you have a propensity to overeat/have a big appetite like myself.
Congratulations! Your story reminds me of what my mom is currently going through. I tried telling her to count her calories, weigh your food and do some walking, but she won’t believe it. She even considered weight loss surgery and I talked her out of it, because she could lose the weight on her own if she develops better habits.
@@bonkersdonkers7381 Thank you! And yes I’m having the exact same problem with my mom. Even after her watching me lose so much weight doing this, she’s still convinced that she has to have no more than 20g of carbs a day or she’ll gain weight. I keep telling her if all she would do is remove 300-400 calories per day (which honestly all she’d have to do is cut out the BPC she drinks), walk 4-5 days a week, and track and weigh everything, she would start seeing progress, even if it’s slow. She loves bread and I told her, you can have bread! Make some low calorie anabolic french toast every morning! But nope. She’s convinced it won’t do anything, and refuses to even try for a couple of weeks, despite there being nothing to lose by just trying it. At my heaviest I didn’t think I could lose on 2000 calories a day, but I tried it anyway and it worked! I never would’ve found a sustainable weight loss routine if I hadn’t at least tried. Idk it’s really frustrating but there’s only so much you can do. They have to be willing to change their mindset and put in the work and we can’t do that for them unfortunately.
@@MolsonM3 It’s bulletproof coffee. Really common in keto communities. One cup easily has 300-400 calories with all the butter, coconut oil, and MCT oil in it.
Did you get any medication for your pcos? My wife was recently diagnosed with it and she is struggling really bad with weight loss. She isnt the most consistent due to cravings and sometimes really big hunger feeling. She recently got prescribed metformin for the insulin resistance, do you have any experience with that or other medications/methods you tried? I mainly cook her meals so she is eating well balanced and 90% clean, so no keto vegan paleo bs
I was monitoring my macro- and micronutrients for months and thought I was in a deficit. It wasn't until I added the olive oil I used when making my stir fry that I realised how much extra calories and fat I was consuming.
@@rageagainsttheworld I make my stir fry in bulk to last a couple weeks, which totalled to 400g of olive oil, which is about 17g of fat for each of my serving.
From the clips you played it appears he’s in much better health then when he started despite actually gaining weight. Same happened to me on deployment. Worked out nearly every day for an hour for 1 month, got sick, and after that it was 2-4 times a week for a few more months. Part of me not losing weight was not watching what I ate at all. Camping the next summer definitely proved I was in a lot better shape. Also, I went from 205-185 in the next two years despite not changing my diet at all and exercising irregularly. I stayed at that weight for 5 years without much trying. I don’t really know why. Then I found out how much I love beer.
“How much I love beer” Lmao my man, you spoke my mind w that.. I’m super strict about my deficit but my nutrition is horrible. If I want something ultra shitty I’ll have it, but I won’t go above 1800-2000 calories depending on the day and how I’ve been the last few days. Shit the other day I was drinking playing blackjack w some buddies and I cashed in on all my calories between beer and a burger. Terrible nutrition but I’m young, worry about that later lol💀
I weigh 110lbs after 8 months in the gym at six days a week. I have to consciously eat to gain weight. I can easily skip a meal and will feel the same guilt that someone would feel for eating something bad, it’s just the easier option. But I completely understand the importance of caloric intake because of how much I have gone under it.
I have been sustaining a 1400-1500 daily Calorie intake since the start of the year resulting in an average weight loss of 1kg per week which has been pretty easy to be honest. I wish I had gotten my shit together and done this earlier.
@@Apa372 It is if you cut out high energy density food and learn to cook. If the average energy density of your meals is about 140-150 Kcal per 100g and mostly comes from protein and fiber then that is 1kg of food per day. Yeah, it means having to cook and dropping high fat and high simple sugar ingredients. Compared to things people do every day like driving in traffic it is easy once you make the plan and commit. Everything after that is a little discipline and some basic arithmetic. Along the way you save a lot of money in the process.
I’ve been doing this too. 1000-1500 deficit most days and even 2000-3000 on the days I’m most active. I work with livestock so I average 3.5k calories burnt in a day. Many days I’ll have a freakin double meat bacon cheeseburger for lunch and just eat 700-1000 calories for other meals. Officially started my deficit in early April and I’ve lost 25 pounds. 285 to 260. Embrace the hunger, that means it’s working.
Sudden exercise and workout regimens, going from sedentary and fast food to suddenly working out every day and eating much better, is almost complete failed strategy . He even said " this nasty healthy food" means 100% chance he will go off the diet. Just get the ship steered in the right direction and find food and activities you enjoy
I agree. Both what he says, and a lot of comments here sound like a good setup for a failed diet. I really like how Layne Norton talks about fat loss. Finding a diet you can stick to and counting calories.
Dude is full of it. If he really ate only 2200 calories and did 0 exercise he would weight at most 160. With the amount of exercise I have seen him do. There's no way he isn't eating at least 4000 calories per day. It takes a shit ton of calories just to jog for an hour. He needs to quit drinking, alcohol has a calories too.
Yeah there’s no way he’s in a deficit lol Not saying everyone is the same but I was big into bodybuilding, got injured and depressed, picked up drinking and got fat. Decided I had enough and started a loose deficit around 1500-2000cals a day with working out again. Still depressed but Im down 30lbs since November lol
I went from 229 to 199 in 3 months eating 1500 calories and training bodybuilding hypertrophy exercises everyday. Honestly, my energy dropped during this time but it wasnt as substantial as I had suspected. Waking up feeling better everyday.
You lot are lucky in the fact that you dont need to eat a lot to build muscle spend more time doing other staff in your day than concerning yourself with how many calories you have to eat.
The biggest thing for me is that I’ve always been overweight and just recently started working out very hard and dieting. I am 17 years old and I ended up hitting 305 pounds and that was my wake up call. I started out a 305 and now I’m down to 297 in a month. All I did was cut out all fast food and pretty much all sugar. 30+ minutes of cardio before I lift and then lift for about 2 hours or so. I haven’t lost a bunch of weight but that’s because I can easily tell that my body is gaining muscle fast than it’s burning fast so I don’t really look at my weight on the scale that much. My shoulders biceps triceps are all getting much more defined aswell as I have quickly been losing fat in my chest area. I think the best thing to do when you are losing weight is the fact that the scale is your enemy, you can drink loads of water and be almost back to where u started but the next day you can wake up and be down a pound, the human body is weird and does weird things so I don’t really let that kind of stuff fuck with me or discourage me because I know I am making the right choices. I used to eat at least 3500 calories a day now I’m eating around 2300 calories a day of good healthy food. Also don’t set a time limit if you are trying to lose weight because then you feel the need to have to lose a certain amount per week and when you don’t hit that you become so un motivated. Also if you slip up at all don’t worry about it just make sure to learn from your mistakes. I’ve slipped up but I don’t let it get to me. I usually add 10 minutes to my cardio if I slip up just to discipline myself.

My homie was 300lbs and was trying to lose weight by eating chopped salads from Subway. He would get double chicken and smother it in so much ranch, it was more like salad cereal.
I dealt with the same thing as this guy. I tracked EVERYTHING that I put in my mouth and all the physical activity I did. I was 280 pounds and after about 7 months I had only lost 10 pounds. I was lifting 6 days a week and doing cardio 2 times a day. I got my blood work done and my test levels were under 300 ng/dl and I had an under active thyroid. I got this things taken care of and I'm at 215 sense September!

And being insulin resistant doesnt make you fat, its the opposite. Your Body isnt able to absorb the food you are eating. Ever saw those picture of kids before/after insulin was invented?
Can't cut without caffeine, when I was on a 1000 calorie cut I heavily relied upon coffee and energy drinks ( Bang peach mango is my favorite ). Green tea also suppresses appetite well and of course eating a high protein low carb diet reduces cravings.
2.5+ liters of water a day, black coffee, grilled chicken/steak with vegetables + daily vitamins, and he'd lose 100lbs in 3-5 months without even working out. He is absolutely cheating his diet behind the scenes!
Right. He's saying he cut out carbs, and he's keto and vegan at the same time? How tf can you be vegan and keto?

As far as functional systems go, im always impressed with humans and calorie consumption.

Everything Derek speaks about in relation to calorie counting, weighing, burning, etc is something I've experienced. I lost 110lbs over a 3 year journey. Some people might say that's a slow process and if you break it down, it is, even at 4lbs lost a month. However, as I was going through the process I was starting to become aware of things I was doing and not doing. Because I was so fed up with not getting to the result I wanted as fast as I wanted, I started wavering during the 3 years. I stopped counting calories as accurately. I stopped weighing all my food as accurately. It got to the point that all the little things started adding up in a big way. Another thing I noticed was that I gave myself a little bit of a treat once a week, which was fine at first. However, I slowly started giving myself more treats, more frequently thinking "oh this little bit wont hurt". While it might not have hurt initially, eventually I ended up about a mile of course because I kept saying "a little bit more, a little bit more". Things like that you don't notice unless you really look back on yourself and create some introspection. I feel for this Charlie guy because i've been there. But there's gotta be more to this.
Thanks for sharing! I am taking the slow route. I was severely ill in 2021 and gained almost 50lbs. Once I recovered all I did was shrink my meals/ make healthy versions of foods I liked and went for 2 mile walks 5-7 days/week and lost 25lbs by the end of that year (in 6 months). I’m not in a rush to loose weight either (since I have no health problems related to weight) and at the time I couldn’t do too strenuous physical activity. I was overweight to begin with but that extra 50lbs was the shock I needed. So far this year I’ve lost another 15lbs this time focusing on a calorie deficit with low- moderate carbs (with no scheduled exercise just my daily activity). I plan to add a fitness routine back into my schedule soon. I still eat junks here and these and like you gone too far but as long as we catch ourselves we should be proud of the self awareness to stop and be mindful not defeated by the cravings. I think people over complicate and stress themselves out which can be counterproductive.
Nothing wrong with not losing it all at once, it's probably even better than rushing it actually if you can keep it consistent.
As a fellow fatty looking to get fit
what is helping me is tracking both burn and intake. Using a fitness tracker that can do calories. I blasted off 12 lbs in roughly 4 weeks. Able to adjust workout and diet on the fly depending on my numbers to stay roughly consistent with weight loss goals.
The dude is a genius. He’s just doing the ultimate clickbait move to bait in all the fitness channels to talk about him. He’s clearly just doing it all for views. Nobody in their right mind believes that he is actually eating in a calorie deficit.

The sad part is that alot of overweight people will think its not even worth trying and now has X amount of new excuses for not loosing their weight.

This. Why the fuck would you make such a ridiculous video when we all know he’s cheating to fuck on his diet. Maybe he thinks if the fridge doesn’t know it’s him pillaging it the calories don’t count
I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt by saying he doesn't realise how much he is consuming due to not weighing ingredients or adding high calorie sauces but for a reasonably active person to maintain that body shape, he must be consuming a vast number of calories.
Exactly.. calories in can’t be greater than calories out. Simple
Guy said he wen't vegan AND keto; a little bit more of Keto food can mean over 1k calories you accidentally ate. One of the shittiest diet traps people can fall for.
People have no idea how easy it is to eat WAY more than they think. First time I tracked my diet, my mind was blown. Couldn't believe it. Then people think they can burn it off on the treadmill or something and it's like, do you have any idea how long it takes to burn off that junk you just ate in 30 seconds? lol
Sometimes you don't realize how much food you consume until you start tracking it. I think tacking your food is great for people like that... which is most people who are very overweight. I've been tracking all my food for 7 months, cut out carbs and sugar and have gone down almost 80 lbs in that time.

If it were possible to gain weight in a caloric deficit, we’d be able to solve the worlds energy problems with perpetual motion energy. There’s no way in hell you gain weight in a caloric deficit. It’s thermodynamics, a fundamental concept in physics.

This is accurate and most likely the case in this guy’s scenario, but it’s important to remember that there are various physiological factors that can affect the “output” of the caloric input/output calculation, like Andrew Huberman says
Obviously thats kinda why i hate setting these goals for yourself by thinking you'll definitely reach an arbitrary weight. And what happens when you don't? You start giving up on everything thinking its bs. Instead you have to start slow and stay consistent. Hes putting too much pressure on himself so now hes in denial

For me a lot of the diet advice didn't work until I started intermittent fasting.
One of the biggest benefits I got from intermittent fasting, was food discipline.
It helped me gain control of my emotional/impulsive eating.
Training my body for when it's time to eat, and when it's time to fast.
Yeah I do the same, for me it's 6/18 with very occasional cheat days when I'm out, and this was the easiest to follow simple tool to use. Do you train on a fast or in a eating window? I love cardios on a fast in the morning and it stops the hunger for me even more!
Im on 35 hours of NF now 👀👀👀
I developed more food discipline after just attempting keto and intermittent fasting. It was shocking to realize that I thought eating all day long was normal. Like, literally snacking alllll day. I really shook myself out of it. Now, even though I don't do keto and am on more of a lower carb Mediterranean thing, I don't feel the need to have a snack all the time between meals. I especially enjoy eating dinner and then just being done, like no after dinner anything. I've never liked eating after dinner, nor eating a late dinner, and now I can really stop before 7pm like a normal person.
My favorite part of intermediate fasting is I cant even go over that calorie limit if I tried, I get to fill up on good food and still lose weight
@@erinlikesacornishpasty4703 Bro, this. I don't really follow an intermitent fasting routine strictly but I've been on OMAD for a while. Now I can eat less without any issues, like sure I broke my fast because I had a meat stick half an hour ago... but It's the only 100 calories my body has gotten since Monday. And I go lift everyday on top so technically I'm at negative caloric intake. I can go through the week just like that now, hell I just didn't eat yesterday because I wasn't hungry, and I know I'm seeing a friend tomorrow for dinner so might as well just eat something to calm my anxiety (the meat stick) and wait until tomorrow's evening to have a good 2 course meal. Might not be "real fasting" but it's helping me burn fat like crazy
Unless you have been fat it is difficult to understand the delusions you find yourself believing. Looking back at my old lifestyle is it mind boggling how I thought I was eating/exercising in a way that would lead to weight loss. As you say though, it is not complex. Once I started walking 5 miles a day and maintained a pretty significant calorie deficit (900/1000) while eating sensibly (no junk food, dessert, limited carbs etc replaced by a lot of grilled chicken/salmon and roasted veg as well as a bunch of other stuff, including regular Pakistani food now and then). Went from 84kg to 62kg in five months. It can be done, you just have to stick to it. You got it!!
We have similar stories except I went from fit, to fat, to back to fit. I was 140-145 lbs and in 1.5 years I became the heaviest I ever weighed at 210 lbs. In 2020 I dropped down to 148 lbs in about 6ish months. I believe the difference between someone such as myself thats been fit most of their life and became obese and a person thats always been obese/significantly overweight comes down to mindset because CICO works across the board. I always knew what I was working towards because I'd been where I was trying to go and I already had strong dicipline and work ethic established from being fit previously. All I had to do was get the ball rolling mentally to physically do the necessary things and adhere to the positive habits to lose the weight which I had allowed to stop rolling which got me fat in the first place. Someone thats never been fit/a healthy body weight doesnt have that internal image of themselves to drive them and needs to build that mental strength from scratch to be able to adhere to a diet/excerice routine consistently and get that metaphorical ball rolling, so they can stay consistent and achieve results.
You did the job dude, congratulations ! 👍
Bhai any good tasty receipe which isn't bland?
Yep i feel this. I'm working on losing weight as well after gaining 100 lbs over the last 6 years. I started at 6'3 330 lbs and I find myself all the time thinking "oh, i did good today, I'll eat a cookie." I'm down to 320, have lost 10 lbs in the last month, which I'm sure is water weight. I started to do 4-5 miles on my stationary bike every day to help. I've been eating around 2k calories a day.
@@av7337 Seasoning and low calorie dense foods
This reminds me of something I heard years ago about the emotional connection to food and denial hurting dieting efforts. If your dog gets really fat and you take it to the vet, what is the vet going to tell you? "Your dog probably has a leptin deficiency. Let's get some bloodwork and prescribe him some medication." "Has your dog tried hot yoga and running on the beach?" No. The vet is going to tell you the dog is eating too much. Why? Because it's obvious. If your dog was fat, you'd feed it less, and the problem would resolve itself. When people are fat, they want to believe anything but the amount of food they're eating is to blame, and it prevents them from addressing the real issue.

@@varvarvarvarvarvar or just use will power. I’ve been eating 500 calories a day for the past 2 weeks so I can cut weight for a weigh in
I started my weight loss journey this past October. I was almost 400 lbs and so far have lost 75 lbs towards my goal of reaching 225 lbs. The thing a lot of people don’t realize when they try to lose weight is that you will go up and down depending on a ton of factors. The other thing a lot of people forget to take into account is cooking oils. A tablespoon is 100 calories so it can add up quickly if you aren’t being mindful of how much you are using. A lot of times when I have eggs I’ll spray the pan and wipe off any excess oil so it doesn’t impact my count for the day but I’ll still record it as the full amount regardless.
Good for you!
mind to tell me how do you count calories or at least how to start? im a newbie
@@jeanneann3545 I started with Noom but completed all the lessons so now I use my fitness pal. It’s also a good idea to get a food scale so you can weigh what you eat.
@@jeanneann3545 MPMD recommends Cronometer and links it in description, good free alternative
Stopped weighing myself and took photos of my body instead motivated me more as I saw results in the photos and stopped being a slave to the weighing scale.
I went through the same thing as him for 2 months. I was doing 60 min weight sessions 5x per week and 10,000 steps daily and didn’t lose any weight but thought I was in a deficit. I ended up counting the calories off the labels and weighing raw foods instead of myfitnespal’s generic values and now I’m down 22kg in the past 4 months. Even a single piece of lean beef can vary 100-150 calories due to the fat content being different in every single cut - that’s upto 700+ calories per week just in one item of food in a diet.
That's great to hear. But just a heads up, you can also scan the barcode of almost any food and get the exact macros for that specific product, so you don't have to do the counting through the labels.
It's not necessarily the calories but the quality of the food, getting overly hung up on net weight loss and caloric deficient can end up backfiring your body might simply be keeping the same or similar net weight but be losing fat and gaining muscle
@@uwirl4338 which app do you use to scan?
Yeah it’s insane how easy you can over eat if you don’t count calories
Even if you ate the same and then started working out, you would at least see a minor difference.
I love how when weightloss things become more trendy it’s starts to get really complicated and people start to think that because you meditate and cut the coffee and things like that you will directly lose weight.

I’ve lost 180lbs and what Derek has said is exactly right. I weighed and tracked everything that went into my mouth. It’s the only way to lose weight and when people ask me what to do that’s what I tell them. Exercise is important, but even if you don’t want to exercise you can lose weight. It’s not just controlling what you eat, it’s knowing what you eat too.
You don't need to exercise to lose weight. You usually should because it's healthy, it's also easier to burn those extra 200-300 calories which is half a meal, and it's also better for your body to use the stored fat and keep the muscle mass in place. You might lose less weight but you'll definitely lose more fat

Does this count as unhealthy kale with pasta
@@jahmarianthomas7684 The kale on its own is a very healthy cruciferous vegetable. Pasta isn’t necessarily bad, but enriched flour is empty carbs because the enriching process removes most of the nutrients. Is there’s a sauce because usually pasta dishes are served with sauces, and that’s where things go wrong. Also, I would add some kind of protein source. If it were me I’d ditch the pasta and add another, better, carb source.

After I fled Melbourne during the lockdowns, I put on about 20-22kgs. 7 months of almost no work, not allowed to leave the house and a depression of just sitting inside and playing video games all day waiting for things to return to normal so I could do anything again. I turned up to Far North Queensland at 95kgs and a massive gut.. And the trick was just to stop eating, not to a point where it was unhealthy but eating simple meals and still feeling hungry/not resorting to snacks. I'm almost to where I was in 2020, and back to working out.. But when people work out they need to eat, so if you're already fat you'll eat even more.. Get to around the weight you want then start putting on the muscle.. If you're a regular guy you can't start beefing up when your way past the weight you want to be at.
There was/is an interesting show in the UK where a large (overweight) family agrees to be surveilled for a week to see what they eat. What they consume is incredible. One mother was consuming her daily calorie allotment in just alcoholic beverages just around dinner. People were consuming and not even realising it. Once they realised what they were doing many people dropped weight quite quickly. It takes a lot of calories to maintain a high weight.

Nice man
Watching what you eat is honestly the best way to lose weight. Weighing all your food is a pain, but the pay off makes it so worth it.
I don't know that you have to weigh all the food. I've lost weight pretty consistently just by calculating calories within a decent accuracy level. What you do need to do is be mindful of what you're eating and make sure you're accounting for everything you eat. In my experience weighing everything is a demotivating step
@@johnyoung3397 I had fun calculating calories and such, so it wasn’t such a big deal for me. I understand it may be daunting to others, but in my experience, I had no idea how many calories I was supposed to be eating vs how many calories I was actually eating. Being meticulous about what I ate helped me better estimate average caloric values.
@@EpicCoolGuy21 yeah I'm not judging your method, different things work for different people. And I'm not saying don't be meticulous as I would consider what I do in estimating calories fairly meticulous. I do account for every ingredient in every snack I consume. I'm just saying that there is a point where agonizing over small details is hurting more than it's helping, where that point is depends on the individual
On top of likely underestimating his calorie intake, I think he's probably also overestimating how much he's burning. Cardio doesn't burn as much as most people think and it looks like he's focused on cardio as his primary form of exercise. Cardio is important and a fantastic tool during cuts, but man people be thinking they can go for a 15-30min run and they can afford to eat a couple extra slices of pizza while still being in a deficit. This shit isn't complicated but people gotta stop lying to themselves.
He says he burns 3k calories per day, i highly doubt that.
Yeah for real. I’ve been there myself before. It’s easy to overestimate how many calories you burned at the gym, even though the cardio aspect of it has a “rough” estimate shown on the machines. You burn way less than you think at the gym, and that piece of cheesecake has more than you think.
I used to work at this chicken joint down the street from a gym, and the amount of fat people who would come in in workout clothes 2x a week to eat after the gym baffled me. Sure, you worked out for an hour, but then you went and ate a biscuit, macaroni, 3 fried chicken tenders brushed with lard and spices (nasheville style hot chicken place, that’s how it’s made. Spices are warmed in lard, then a paintbrush is used to coat them on the chicken. It’s great stuff, but it should be a 1x a month or less kinda treat. Never weekly)
@@BastosFC2 I think if you trained all day until you blacked out you still wouldn't burn 3k calories.
And you are very hungry after cardio.
@@BastosFC2 idk that dude but I stay at ~10% bf eating 3000/day. Alternating running and rock climbing and mountaineering on weekends. I mean a 15k run with some elevation is approx 1200 active calories (at least that's what my Garmin says)
I totally agree about calorie deficit, step count, and calorie counting. I was at a point where I ate healthy and in a 500 calorie deficit working out none stop with strength training, hiit, and cardio and counting calories and I didn't make any progress with losing weight. I come to realize how powerful walking really is. And how addicting to boost your step counts by 10k then 25k, and then 30k as you consistently walking everyday. Not only walking help you lose a few pounds every week, it helps you to stay moving and be active all day. It also strengthens your power for others' activities like running and lifting. For love of god, walk 10k steps a day and slowly increase your step count.
I've been telling myself the same shit. I only had few extra kilos to lose but once I started counting everything and rocking that 1g of protein per pound of bw, I dropped 7 kilos and gained some muscle mass along the way (6 months) without changing my workout plan. Stop the excuses and be accountable of your actions 💪

Through my years of weight cuts, what I’ve come to realize (for me at least), is that you know, and you feel when you’re losing because I’m generally in a constant state or hunger. I’ve also realized how easy it is to ruin a deficit.
Yep, I starve after waking up for like 7 hours, then plan 3 meals with exact calories and exact times when im allowed to eat them before I goto sleep, can't mess up with a plan.
You’re absolutely right, that mild hunger feeling is the feeling of being in a deficit. You need to be able to recognise it and it took me 4 or 5 cuts before I did.
It’s ultimately knowing your body.

I had a long time where I thought I was in a deficit until I started weighing my food and counting calories and realized I was being a fatass 🤣... went from 225 to 195 in 2.5 months since then while actually gaining strength back in the gym after a hiatus. Feelin good.
17:35 His "calories" on his phone flashed between 3548 and 4477. Sorry, I'm calling "bullshit" on his deficit based on that alone. He describes what he cut out, not what he's actually eating. He CLAIMS it's a deficit. I can also demolish an entire pack of bacon and not take in a carb or a sugar. Nope... we are not getting the real picture at all. "You see what I'm doing!". No, we see what you're sharing... and not buying it.
In that app that value shown is his BMR + exercise. It is not calories consumed but calories "burned". His BMR is probably around 3.5K just on its own. So those values that flash on screen are what you get from something just above sedentary levels of daily movement. I can easily hit 4K calories burned on my Fitbit just from being on my feet around the office rather than sitting still all day. If I go out and walk for 45-60mins at a brisk pace with some light jogging mixed in then I can easily get that number over 6K.
If I maintain a 4K daily deficit in Fitbit then I lose weight. but a 500cal deficit in Fitbit and I gain hard. I think the rule of thumb for however Fitbit is calculating calories burned is that you need to keep your BMR+500 as your daily deficit value in order to lose weight.
Seeing such large deficits in the app it can be very tempting to over eat and convince yourself that you are still on track.
@@MadnessQuotient Only if he actually qualified as "heavy exercise" which sounds like more than he' actually putting out, and that's best-case for the lower figure. Unless he's planning an being a literal super-athlete and then somehow burning that higher rate to eat the low as calories I'm still not buying it. He's clearly not eating what he thinks is he, or is claiming he is. I did 232->172 in 94 days age 46 (almost 15 years older than him) @ 6'2 ending Feb last year. CICO rules all. I was very frugal with my calories, extremely consistent with my eating, and did a tons of cardio on the elliptical.
I met a woman at the laundry mat. She said , she couldnt lose weight. She said she had a medical issue. She said she only ate 1200 calories a day. The funny thing is: she ate 2000 calories in ice cream with syrup and cookie crumbs at the same time as she is telling me this (the laundry mat is next door to a ice cream shop) people seem completely blind to themselves
Burning up to 3800 calories a day? Mega doubt. Even when I was working out, with my heaviest sessions of cardio, on top of a full work day, I'd *maybe* top out at 2900 calories, but I always dropped the number to 2700 to be more realistic. That's hitting 20-35 minutes of sustained cardio after my lifting, and all of my job's walking.
Someone has fed this man some bullshit numbers, and he really shouldn't be needing many supplements for his diet for losing weight.
I was taking in 6k a day and lost 50lbs but that was because of my job. It’s one of the most demanding jobs 😅 pulling green chain, ain’t nothing like pulling 6x12 24’ 10 hours a day. When we did 2x4 it was basically cardio time. Every one ate like hogs and was skinny.
Ehh youre wrong. If you work all day in a physical labour job you can easily burn 100/kcals an hour. Add weight training and cardio on top of that and 3.5k is pretty reasonable.
Depending on BW too. If you, for example weigh 100kg with 20% bf and do regular weight lifting 5x a week with some mild strain over the course of the day like school or a job, you can reach 2500-2800 calories without even trying.
You can easily do that in a full day of snowboarding if the mountain isn't too busy. I've had my fitbit read 5,600 calories burned after a long day of snowboarding, although I always assume that estimate to be over by at least 20%.
@@basedphilosopher 3500 is reasonable if you have a demanding job and workout heavily
Rocket doesn’t have a demanding job
His BMR is probably a thousand and he’s probably burning another thousand so he’s in a surplus at 2200-2400

The best quote I ever heard regarding weight loss came in the 80's. During a talk show, one panel member asked a simple question:
"Do you know what happened to everyone who went to a German concentration camp? They ALL lost weight."
Boom!
Shut the metabolisms, thyroid, diets don't work advocates right up.
Yeah I always use that example. When people say that they eat right but don’t lose fat, or when it’s their « morphology » yeah right, you would be skinny in berkenau. I don’t get why people need excuses. I am shit in so many things i have absolutly no shame in saying it. I am horrible at math so what ? « No but you know i come from a family that have bad genes in comprehension of algebra » gtfu
I too always cite that as an example - since I started as a trainer 30 years ago. My brother - a doctor - said it. also… when they take people claiming to be not be able to lose weight and put them in regimented programs where their food is absolutely controlled… the lose weight. Every time.
I started smoking meth and the weight just started falling off.
And teeth.
At 0:43 Derek is basically telling you, when it comes to successful weightloss you even need to log your logs.

Spot on. Everyone overcomplicates weight loss.
100%.
Many years ago I had my wife’s mums friend complained about not losing weight etc etc. then I told her to break it down and it was just full of fruits at all our hours of the day. She thought eating fruit was going to help, I know u need a balance but banging fruit salads at 9pm before bed is bonkers lol
Shout out to people with thyroid issues, but yeah pretty much.
Similarly to Charlie I was in the best shape of my life like four years ago. Ran track and field, did marathons. Then I gained about 80 lbs and kept it on for 3 years until recently. Same thing happened with me. Did the workouts, tried salads and dieting but remained the same weight. It wasnt until I just started fasting for 3+ days I realized I have somewhat of a junk food addiction I developed and just didnt think much of when I cheated the diet. After I figured out the problem was in the diet and addiction I shed 50 lbs in about 5 months.
so you were eating mac donalds and were wondering why you weren't losing weight?
@@ermutanda3802 Practically everyone who claims they just can't lose weight is doing this.
They'll eat a salad but then eat a chocolate bar, not comprehending that a single chocolate bar eaten once a day is enough to make you gain 1lb of fat every single week.
Three KFC chocolate chip cookies, which are barely a mouthful each, contain an entire day's worth of calories for an adult.
Contrarily, 5kg of cabbage (that's more cabbage than 5 humans could possibly eat in a day) would contain just 1000 calories: if you could somehow magically give yourself a cow's stomach capable of containing 5kg of cabbage, you could eat that whole 5kg and still be in an extreme calorie deficit for that day, but BOY would you have received a huge amount of nutrition.
This is why people are fat - because fake food (which is all chocolate bars, Mcdonalds and other ultraprocessed foodstuffs) have absolutely preposterous calorie density unlike anything found in nature. Oh and, to boot, there's absolutely no nutrition of value in them - even the calories they do provide are toxins rather than nutrients unless you're extremely underweight (and even then, calories without any of the supporting nutrition might do more metabolic damage than good in such a scenario).
@@ermutanda3802he’s an idiot or liar obviously. So much anti science and anti reality in his claims. 😂😂
Man, I was 220lbs and 5'7 when I was 20. Built like this guy. The 'pity party' was super high and I felt like nothing I did 'worked' I used to wolf down shitty foods and rarely drank water. Knew nothing about training or macros. What finally blew my mind was I ran a "WhOLe mILe!" And the treadmill showed I burned 100c! 100 fuckin calories?! "Wait that's like nothing!?" From then I started working landscaping and watching my food a lot more. It took a long time but now I'm 37 and in hella good shape. It's really hard to fight your urges for shitty food when you're that size the fat like takes over your brain.
I’m 5’10 and was 210. Went to water only for liquids and only ate mostly 93/7 ground beef by itself, tilapia, and grilled chicken. Went down to 185 in a little over a month. Then down to 175 in 2 and a half months. I worked out but mostly cardio and a little bit of weights 5-6 times a week.
I was 5'7 230 lbs at 19.
My car broke down and I had to walk 6 miles home from college classes(3 days a week). I waa getting a ride to school but couldn't get a ride home and rhe bus was always late so I just started walking.
Lost a lot of weight fast and then once summer came, I just kept walking and eating healthy and lost over 100 lbs in about 3 months.
I'm about to turn 40 and still am around 160ish.
It really is a complete lifestyle change. Small improvements over time and you will see a change
I get upset when I "gain" weight on my deficit, though it's almost assuredly either water weight or I went over my calorie limit.

@@ironrobin congrats!!
Calories in calories out works every time. I have been bodybuilding for almost 20 years now and have always been a good 60 pounds over. I started doing 10,000 steps a day and put myself in a 500 calorie deficit. I went from 245 to 215 and I am now maintaining before starting my deficit again. It’s been close to a year since I started this and it was not much of a change in my dieting. I still eat what I want and hit my protein intake. I just make sure I don’t eat much more then 2,100 calories a day. What really helped me was to not eat back my calories I supposedly burned. I did that and I stopped losing weight. Tells me that my calorie tracker was over estimating how many calories I burned from working out and my cardio. When I stopped eating back my calories I started to consistently loose my weight again. It was just too hard to track what I was burning. Hope this gentleman figures out his errors and starts loosing weight… he really is not that overweight. The little changes will give him the results he is looking for 🎉
I’m guessing he’s obviously doing some cheating somewhere, and not reporting all his caloric intake. Come on guy, you can do it!
I guarantee he boxes for like five minutes and assumes it’s like 1000 calories burned. Runs for 10 minutes. That’s another 1000 calories burned.
Calories in calories out. When I started tracking for real it was amazing how 1 cheat meal would wreck a whole week of deficit. Sauces, creamer, some booze, that one cookie... going out to eat once.
It's easier to ruin a diet than to stick to it 100%
Factsssss
When I was losing weight, I went on what I thought was a 2000 calorie deficit per day(Extremely unsafe I know). In around 5-6 months I had lost close to 100 lbs. A few months later I looked at the calories I tracked and the food labels for the foods I ate and I discovered huge problems with calorie tracking these foods. Companies (in the US at least) will round down their calories in labels, lower the calorie count by adding large amounts of fiber(which still count as calories due to soluble fiber), and have inconsistent weights for their foods. I actually was more in a 1300 calorie deficit. Goes to show how inconsistent labeling can affect weight loss.
This.
The only way to lose weight for real is to WAY overshoot your calorie deficit.
500 calorie deficit will never work because what you think is a 500 calorie deficit is actually eating maintenance.
So you go for a 1000 calorie deficit but it will actually be like 400 cal deficit and you do it for quite a long time.
I feel hungry when I eat on maintenance, I feel super hungry when I eat on a deficit and I feel normal when I eat more then maintenance level. You cannot lose weight and just have fun doing it.
@@jeanbob1481 It's not the "only way to lose weight." I've been doing keto for the last 4 months. I'm down 40lbs and do not count calories at all. I just eat fresh, whole foods, no processed foods at all. Fat and Protein are pretty filling, so I naturally don't overeat. I've started incorporating Intermittent fasting and I've seen the weight loss accelerate a bit. I just don't accept that you have to obsess over every calorie or starve yourself to lose weight. You just need to be eating the right foods. The biggest lie any of us was ever told is that "a calorie is a calorie." No, calories are not all the same and they do not affect your body the same.
I have lived Charlie's situtation and the biggest problem and why it took me so long with so many failures, is that for most over weight people, they never commit to the time frame. We all have unrealistic goals and quit way to damn soon.
I lost 50lbs the moment I committed to the fact that this would take probably all god damn year and that I would just stick to my routine all god damn year. Not 90 days to shred or whatever other BS people get onto.
Do the most conservative math possible and plot it out. And then also account for the fact you'll have bad days, get sick, shit will come up and then plot out the worst slowest progress. Then commit to that. Becuase all the successful times will motivate you when you planned for the worst progression timeline.
But I'm serious, I have a friend who unlike me still hasn't shed the 50lbs and he's always trying and quitting stuff. Looking for short cuts and magic pills.
THERE IS NO GOD DAMN MAGIC PILL

I think when you're very big you're in denial about what you are actually consuming until you take a closer look at every single thing you eat. Your eyes will open when you realize that ranch dressing or that BBQ sauce dip just added a few 100 calories to your daily intake. That Starbucks coffee, or those 2 cans of Coke, or those few beers or mixed drinks you have with your friends during the weekend, they are a few more 100 calories. Most people are like... "But I eat salads and lean meat, and low fat... Why?" That's why. I think it's why tracking every single thing you consume for the first few months, even the first year is imperative for weight loss, especially for very obese people like myself. Eventually, your brain really gets to that point where the new habits have formed, and a new "common sense" on nutrition kicks in. Thoughts like: "That's what a normal amount of food is." or "That muffin is 400 calories, maybe I should have something else with my coffee." become second nature. I've been tracking my calories for 7 months now and I'm down almost 80lbs (from 300 to 222) and I'll probably continue to do it for a while longer until I get to a point where--like I said before--eating properly becomes second nature to me. As for Charlie, if he's still eating at a caloric surplus without truly knowing he's doing it, no amount of exercise will help him lose weight. You can't out-exercise a bad diet.

I used to be severely hypogonadil AND hypothyroid before getting on HRT and still got to 9-10% bodyfat.

@@josejimenez896 Some of my cut was during lockdown so at that point it was easy. But when i was at work i would go for a walk in my lunch break instead of sitting down and eating and going for 10-20 min walks after every big meal would help me digest and also just get easy steps in. It's not as difficult as people make it out to be. Walking around in between sets at the gym also adds up to ALOT of steps sometimes 4-6k steps in a 1 hour session
1700-1800 calories a day sounds like hell man. I used to do that and it was miserable. I lost 75 lbs though
When I did marathon training and was running anywhere from 24-34 miles a week, it was IMPOSSIBLE not to shred body fat. There's just no way.
Wow I first started watching you when you had around 200K subscribers and it’s so crazy to see how much you’ve grown since then.
Also, this video hits home with me because I was definitely on the “insulin makes you fat” train for a long time and made me stall in my weight loss. When I finally decided to put in the work of weighing and tracking every single thing that went into my mouth, I started seeing progress again. Ever since then, I realized all those years I spent thinking it was just impossible for me to lose weight, I was just eating too much (mostly oils and butter in this horrid BPC I had every morning 🙄). It’s empowering because I no longer felt hopeless or like I had no control over it. I was morbidly obese, with PCOS, and have lost almost 100 pounds now. It is definitely achievable even with obstacles, it’s just a matter of properly tracking and weighing everything when you have a propensity to overeat/have a big appetite like myself.
Congratulations! Your story reminds me of what my mom is currently going through. I tried telling her to count her calories, weigh your food and do some walking, but she won’t believe it. She even considered weight loss surgery and I talked her out of it, because she could lose the weight on her own if she develops better habits.
@@bonkersdonkers7381 Thank you! And yes I’m having the exact same problem with my mom. Even after her watching me lose so much weight doing this, she’s still convinced that she has to have no more than 20g of carbs a day or she’ll gain weight. I keep telling her if all she would do is remove 300-400 calories per day (which honestly all she’d have to do is cut out the BPC she drinks), walk 4-5 days a week, and track and weigh everything, she would start seeing progress, even if it’s slow. She loves bread and I told her, you can have bread! Make some low calorie anabolic french toast every morning! But nope. She’s convinced it won’t do anything, and refuses to even try for a couple of weeks, despite there being nothing to lose by just trying it. At my heaviest I didn’t think I could lose on 2000 calories a day, but I tried it anyway and it worked! I never would’ve found a sustainable weight loss routine if I hadn’t at least tried. Idk it’s really frustrating but there’s only so much you can do. They have to be willing to change their mindset and put in the work and we can’t do that for them unfortunately.

From the clips you played it appears he’s in much better health then when he started despite actually gaining weight. Same happened to me on deployment. Worked out nearly every day for an hour for 1 month, got sick, and after that it was 2-4 times a week for a few more months. Part of me not losing weight was not watching what I ate at all. Camping the next summer definitely proved I was in a lot better shape.

I did 1500cal, fasting, and walking. literally the easiest weight loss ever.
You lot are lucky in the fact that you dont need to eat a lot to build muscle spend more time doing other staff in your day than concerning yourself with how many calories you have to eat.
I gotta checky bmi. I'm 290 currently and look way better than this guy. Lifting does wonders.
The biggest thing for me is that I’ve always been overweight and just recently started working out very hard and dieting. I am 17 years old and I ended up hitting 305 pounds and that was my wake up call. I started out a 305 and now I’m down to 297 in a month. All I did was cut out all fast food and pretty much all sugar. 30+ minutes of cardio before I lift and then lift for about 2 hours or so. I haven’t lost a bunch of weight but that’s because I can easily tell that my body is gaining muscle fast than it’s burning fast so I don’t really look at my weight on the scale that much. My shoulders biceps triceps are all getting much more defined aswell as I have quickly been losing fat in my chest area. I think the best thing to do when you are losing weight is the fact that the scale is your enemy, you can drink loads of water and be almost back to where u started but the next day you can wake up and be down a pound, the human body is weird and does weird things so I don’t really let that kind of stuff fuck with me or discourage me because I know I am making the right choices. I used to eat at least 3500 calories a day now I’m eating around 2300 calories a day of good healthy food. Also don’t set a time limit if you are trying to lose weight because then you feel the need to have to lose a certain amount per week and when you don’t hit that you become so un motivated. Also if you slip up at all don’t worry about it just make sure to learn from your mistakes. I’ve slipped up but I don’t let it get to me. I usually add 10 minutes to my cardio if I slip up just to discipline myself.
Update?
@@grimulfr0 update, lost the weight, I lift 225 on bench, 405 deadlift and 500 squat
I'm not going to buy magic spoon cereal but I definitely appreciate how hard Derek goes on the ads for them. He either really likes them and he's making a great ad or they paid him a fuckload and he's going out of his way to make a great ad. Props.
>"Quick side tangent to talk about my sponsor here"
>Bro does an over SIX MINUTE LONG ad 💀
How could he look that bad at 230? Is he 5'2 or smth?
Lmao that's what I was thinking. Short and ZERO muscle mass.
How else is he supposed to look? An average height person weighs like 170-180. Add up 60 pounds of fat and you get this.
he has no fat or muscle on his arms to be fair
@@IRLtrolls yeah how do you even get like that? I'm 6'1 and I have been 250+ pounds before I started lifting still never looked that bad.
@@comically_large_chungus Hahah yeah I'm 6'1 as well and just cut from 240 to 200 and I didn't look anywhere NEAR that bad at 240. That dude is definitely close to 300lbs
235, he looks way heavier that that, he's clearly lacking muscle mass
dude looks at least 260
I was going to say something too. I am 245 and shorter than him but I literally look 40+ pounds lighter.... I am fat, technically obese but I DO not look like him at all. Maybe his legs are skinny and his upper is where he holds weight
My homie was 300lbs and was trying to lose weight by eating chopped salads from Subway. He would get double chicken and smother it in so much ranch, it was more like salad cereal.
Nah just gotta get on Dr Hgfffs Fat incinerating lemon coffee 🔥🔥
I dealt with the same thing as this guy. I tracked EVERYTHING that I put in my mouth and all the physical activity I did. I was 280 pounds and after about 7 months I had only lost 10 pounds. I was lifting 6 days a week and doing cardio 2 times a day. I got my blood work done and my test levels were under 300 ng/dl and I had an under active thyroid. I got this things taken care of and I'm at 215 sense September!
Good shit man, keep it up!
@@sethrydberg7981 thanks man! I will. My goal is to hit about 15% body fat then start a clean bulk
Great work dude! Congrats!
Theres no way he's in a deficit. I'm 100% in a deficit and this is the first time in my life I've counted calories and so far in 6 weeks I've came down 27lbs. Hes probably benge eating in the middle of the night
7:53 "you're insulin resistant" Bro that's the same thing a doc had told me before. A year in my "fitness journey" and I'm down 22kgs and have almost visible abs with quite good Muscle definition for a 17 year old atleast 😅. The point is Stop giving such bs excuses. I never felt like "insulin resistance" was a problem for me for losing weight, it was just me being a lazy Dumbass 😂 Dude's giving one after another excuse like Who are you fooling 🤦♂️
Good for you bro 💪🏼 I think a lot of people like to play victim with their body composition these days nobody wants to take accountability for anything…it’s either the fault of the white man, corporations, etc but never the fault of people who simply deny they overeat.
Don’t get too skinny though!! Be a muscular beast 😎
You hold yourself accountable, he doesn't. Mad respect for you my man..
And being insulin resistant doesnt make you fat, its the opposite. Your Body isnt able to absorb the food you are eating. Ever saw those picture of kids before/after insulin was invented?
Can't cut without caffeine, when I was on a 1000 calorie cut I heavily relied upon coffee and energy drinks ( Bang peach mango is my favorite ). Green tea also suppresses appetite well and of course eating a high protein low carb diet reduces cravings.
Bruh, how short is he? He looks like twice my size horizontally when I weighted 235 pounds and I am not even that tall, I am 5'11
