It's so considerate of you to give time stamps on your own videos! haha but to be honest, you're so entertaining, I really don't want to skip through. :)
All i gotta say is I’ve seen more results (mentally AND physically) in a week of following sustainable dieting with NO restriction than months of keto. If that’s not pure Jordan Syatt magic idk what is. The man knows what he’sdling#SortingHatSquad
You have no ideea how much you’ve changed my mentality.. I love how you can educate my mind by explaining everything so clear again and again and also your little jokes make me want to watch more and more from your videos. Thank you!! #sortinghatsquad
I really like how Jordan said health and fat loss are not equal. we can use multiple ways to lose fat but it not might be sustainable but ruins our health. I have tried keto diet two years ago for a year and yea i do lose fat for the first six months, however, i didn't realised it was slowly ruining my physical and MENTAL health. I end up have eating disorder such as binge eating because i restricted myself from eating carbs, then after binge eating i will just blame myself. Then I started to ask myself whether i really wanted to lose fat but sacrifice my health. After that, i literally just FORCED myself to have balanced diet and proper meal + regular exercise, I feel a lot better in both my body and mind, i feel stronger than ever. I REALLY HOPE PEOPLE WILL START REALISING THAT LOSE FAT =/= HEALTHY, HEALTHY=/=LOSE FAT!! Now, for me, HEALTHY IS SLEEP MORE, EAT WELL, EXERCISE REGULARLY. ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU. Thanks JORDAN! #Sortinghatsquad Need to mention that this post is not targeted anyone who is using ketodiet right now. It might suits and works to you but it aint for me because in my case I was over-restricting/suppressing myself for a long period of time which isn't healthy for me.
I lost 150 lbs by using a calorie deficit.... I stopped giving a shit and gained 130 back..... watching your videos gives me so much encouragement because even though I know everything you say to be truth.... it’s awesome to hear you be so passionate about this information. It gets me pumped to get back to what needs to happen.
This one really hit me, eating back the calories is one of my biggest struggles, the fact that my fitness pal offers that as a feature sucks but I'm going to blow through it and stick to my limits. Thanks for another great video. #sortinghatsquad
Fit_Fat_Dad ! I just stopped logging my work out on MFP. I keep track on an app called tally I simply tally a mark if I work out. I don’t worry about calories cuz I know I’m burning them period.
Started counting cals using you 12x goal weight on September 11th. I’ve lost 5 pounds! And with spikes and whooshes! And I didn’t freak out! Thank you!!! This video is amazing. Actually all your vids are gold. #sortinghatsquad
You’re the first person I’ve heard talking about the calorie calculations in such a way that it’s easiest for everyone to understand. You break it down wonderfully and I’m sure you’re going to impact a lot of people with this content. :)
Eating back calories burned is a huge one. It adds so much more complexity to it and could save so many people so much confusions just focusing on calories consumed. 👏👏 great vid Jordan
Thank you! So tired of hearing menopause causes weight issues. I have not had any issues with my weight. But I also watch what I eat, stay active, sleep well, and weight train focusing on progressive overload.
Thank you so much for helping sort out the BS, the false promises, the click bait, the fads. I’ve struggled for so long trying to find “the right thing” for me and understanding this foundational info and sustainable mindset approach is changing how I approach everything. #sortinghatsquad
The way you explain everything in your videos makes so much sense to me. The way you explain it is simple and clear. Also really like how down to earth you are the cursing and all. Thanks for these videos
You re so legit, Jordan! dieting is so just as mental as it is physical. I hate editing, because it makes me feel miserable. Love how you are changing my relationship with food.
Love this, especially weightloss during menopause. I'm going through menopause and I'm very stressed because I'm selling my house and looking to buy another but have lost 10kgs in the past 4 months by creating a calorie deficit and exercising everyday. Thanks again J for a some great advice 🌷 #sortinghatsquad
The fact that you used the analogy for counting calories as a budget, the point is to manage it and not obsess over it but MANAGE IT! Thank you for all that you do ❤️ #sortinghatsquad
Hi Jordan! 30 days ago I was lost and frustrated, then I found you! Between 2013-2015, I had lost 120lbs on my own and kept it off (through various diets, lots of hiit and some strength work) However after a year of a lot of emotional ups and downs, I gained back around 30lbs. I almost talked myself into not losing this weight from the regain. Then I got scared that 30 would turn into 50, and so on. I almost convinced myself that I didn't have what it takes anymore, even though I was amazing and lost over 100lbs and kept it off for a long time all on my own. Then I told myself, STOP...I was being stubborn as hell and just didn't want to go back into fat loss mode after years of being in maintenance and a year of eating like an a$$hole. However, I still didn't know what path to take. All I knew was that I had pushed myself with a crapload of high-intensity interval training several days a week to initially lost those last 20-30 lbs, and I was scared I would have to push my body through that again to lose these 30lbs of regain. Also, I suffer from binge eating off and on my whole life and an all or nothing, super restrictive 'clean eating' mindset is very dangerous for me. There are SO many different directions to go in. Keto, Vegan, Whole 30/Paleo, etc and not to mention, the Healthy at Every Size movement telling people it's not OK to lose weight anymore. Ok, so what's a person to do with all of this?!!!! Then I found you one day on TH-cam last month and it was like OMG, who's this???! Everything you said about the calorie deficit, not moralizing foods and lifting heavy, as well as making challenges throughout the year, just made it seem all so simple to me. It was like BOOM. A light flicked on in my head that had been turned off and I have not been this excited about dieting in my entire life. I'm not happy to have gained back some weight now, but I honestly think I'm on the path to having the best relationship with food I've ever had in my whole life and If I had to go through some regain, so be it. I am about 30 days into my personal 90-day fat loss challenge and I'm so proud and happy to say I'm 7.8lbs down and not been tempted to binge once! I can now have a donut in the break room at work if I want and go about my day. I'm so excited for this journey! Thanks, Jordan! #sortinghatsquad
I'm listening to everything you have to say - however, I'm doing WW b/c I joined before I found you...but listening to not treat yourself like an asshole, even when I "mess up". or overindulge. I still struggle with overeating 'healthy' foods. I'm trying, but always get inspired when I watch your videos. you guys rock! #SortingHatSquad
#sortinghatsquad You are the epitome of patience with your audience. We ask the same q’s over & over. Yet, you take a min to explain things in a new way each time. 💜
I am recent subscriber and so glad I stumbled on your channel. You have given me so much motivation to change my eating habits and lifestyle without feeling like a failure because I am not restricting myself enough. It has been 5 weeks and I am already down 7 pounds. Watching your videos has helped so much! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you Jordan. I have binged watched your videos. You have helped me understand things a lot better. I have been doing WW and lost weight. I don’t have much to lose. I seemed to have gained and lost the same few pounds and then saw you were mentioned from a Weight Watcher Jenn from JennsWW Journey. I used your calorie deficit and figured out how many calories I should be eating for Weight loss. I have been double tracking with WW and counting calories. I have already lost 4 pounds with your calculation. Your information has been very valuable. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are always a morale boost right when I need it. 40 pounds down. 50 to go. It's always nice to be reminded that I Can't F*ck This Up. #sortinghatsquad
So many struggle with fat loss and with the wrong information of fast results and overly restrictive diets. Thank you for breaking through it and getting the right information out there for people like me to find! No more wasted money and yo-yo dieting! #SortingHatSquad
I’ve been wondering about the exercise-calorie-add-back thing for a few weeks. Perfect timing! Love the videos and your to-the-point attitude toward fitness. Breath. Of. Fresh. Air. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you! #sortinghatsquad
I do what you suggest for point 2 if the nutritional info isnt available. I try to find something similar on my fitness pal. And with point 1 you are spot on. Im trying to gain weight and yes that would be easy if I just ate junk or could even afford to eat out daily but to do so healthily is much tougher. And on a separate note...it feels like you are talking directly to me with these vlogs. So powerful. The podcasts are awesome too.
You’ve completely changed my outlook on “dieting” and fitness in the few short months since I’ve started watching your videos! I always get something great out of each one. Thanks for being you and helping so many people. After having a real talk with myself and getting consistent in my calorie intake I’m already watching the scale very slowly move down. Always waiting for your next video! #SortingHatSquad
You've changed my life in so many ways you can't imagine. 😍 All the trainers and coaches I had before destroyed my view about food till now. You put it back in the right light. For years I struggeled with fat loss and finally with your motivating words I have the feeling that I can do it. Started 1 week ago and lost 3kg till now. Love you 🙌 Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Germany 😊 #sortinghatsquat
Spot on for my state now! Overeating - due to eating back calories and gotten older (ie had 2 babies and sleeing less, less chances to eat good and excercise as much as i want), so it’s far more challenging to lose and goes slower but there is progress. Great motivational video love it!! Thanks!!
So happy to have found your channel a few months ago. You have such a positive demeanour and you don't beat around the bush with things. You've had a big impact on my weight loss and I thank you for that! #sortinghatsquad
I realized that for me fat loss is about to learn better about my habits and put everything I knew before in the trash. I was afraid of the scale and about calories and now I am not anymore. It’s just data. And I am losing weight and improving my health (physical and mental) at the same time. You are changing so many minds, bodies and lifes! #sortinhatsquad
Straight to the point to where it’s understanding, some people say things cut corners and don’t be direct to the subject matter what people wanna here . Thanks 💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯
Reposting my comment... forgot #sortinghatsquad !!! I just watched your videos yesterday on number of calories for fat loss and how to calculate my macros... then this morning, on my first day counting, had a family breakfast at a restaurant. It’s like you knew exactly what I’d need today! Thanks for all you do!
Q2 Thank you for the new perspective! This has always been an issue for me. I either say no to social events or use it as an excuse to eat everything in sight. #sortinghatsquad
Thank you for the comforting yet honest answer about fat loss as you age. I’m turning 40 next year and it’s something that’s been on my mind a lot throughout my weight loss. I often kick myself for not starting at a younger age because so many say it just gets harder and harder. But it’s comforting to know that maybe it’ll get harder, but it’ll still be doable. #sortinghatsquad
I can't tell you how badly I needed you to address the age/menopause question. I've struggled to find anyone that can give me a concise answer and as ALWAYS you drill it down to the most basic terms that anyone can understand! I've always struggled with an "all or nothing" personality (due to many different reasons) and it's extremely difficult to overcome but I often hear your voice in my head saying "You have a choice". #ichooseyouJ #waitwronguniverse #sortinghatsquad #hopefully
Love you J!! Always get the take home box at restaurants, it definitely helps to do it right when the food gets there instead of trying to save half. You are soo amazing and honestly are saving thousands of lives, super proud to be part of the IC and calling you my coach. DARYL, Oh my, love him!!! Rico freaking phenomenal video!!!#sortinghatsquad
Wow. Point #4 was so meaningful to me. They all were but just hearing you say that stress, menopause, THE JOB, may make losing fat harder but NOT impossible was my ah-ha! It hit me just right! #hatsortingsquad
As a teacher... this speaks to me on so many levels. Plus those expo markers - do you find they run out all the time!! Love the message of 'don't over think it, it really is this simple'. Particularly love the question and response for Question 2 - this is my all time issue! Cheers. #sortinghatsquad
As always... Great video! Last week I had an amazing delicious burrito with zero guilt because I knew I was on track and that one meal was not going to ruin my progress. The only way I can be ok with that now is thanks to watching your videos! You're the best! #sortinghatsquad
Something you said about being either cut everything or just binge resonated with me today. The other day I was so good, then fell off track which then snowballed. I was acutely aware but this video has highlighted it more. Thanks for the video #sortinghatsquad
Jordan - you read my mind! Your answer re eating back calories from exercise was bang on. I've created my own playlist of your key videos, whenever I'm struggling I put it on & I'm back on track. Really appreciate the content you post #sortinghatsquad
Like so many others I've had a horrible relationship with food since I was a child. You have changed my perspective and made things so simple. Thank you so much for what you do! #sortinghatsquad
I needed this video! I got off track this weekend because of eating out and not tracking... getting back on track now and using these tips going forward! #sortinghatsquad
I’ve had inconsistencies with eating “healthy” during the day, but once I sit on my couch, all bets are off. I get up and raid the fridge and my cabinets and just eat just about everything in site. I do some exercising in the morning but I know it’s not enough. I also have been counting calories for the past 12 years and haven’t acquired a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Things really need to change for me.
Just finished my first month following your concept of dieting for a time period and then having a week at maintenance. My diet compliance went way up because I knew I would have the wiggle room during maintenance week to indulge any cravings. Even though I have been at this for years and seen great progress and success, your way of delivery the information is extremely helpful and easy to understand. Can't wait for the big mac video! #sortinghatsquad
#SortingHatSquad Your content is awesome! I love your videos and instagram posts, I learn so much with you, but more than than I like the way you share all your knowledge with such passion to help people! And man, seeing the comments on your videos and the ones you post about the big mac challenge it is clear that you help SO MANY of us Jordan! So thank you for doing that! And thank you for another great video, you explain things so easily and always in a fun and light way!
I've been watching through a lot of your videos and I love how real you are and that you can be silly and bring humor but still have great information!
Hey Jordan I have been watching all your videos lately after finding you on instagram. I feel like I used to be obsessed with eating perfectly "healthy" so much that I restricted myself and cut out all types of foods from my diet. I lost a lot of weight because of it but as soon as I was back in an environment where those foods were present, I binged often and in secret and ended up gaining a significant amount back. Now, trying to lose again I want to do so in a way that is sustainable for the rest of my life. I really like your approach of trying your best to eat healthy foods, but also allowing not so healthy foods in the spirit of life in a way that can one can still reach their goals. Although as of right now I'm a short term follower and subscriber, I am really enjoying your content and feeling relieved due to the fact that I don't need to cut out or be afraid of all these foods in addition to the scale. #sortinghatsquad
You doing this Big Mac challenge and posting things like this has started to change my relationship with food. My goal has never been weight loss but despite that I would get anxious about enjoying a pizza night or a trip to the pub with friends. Now I’ve started to learn to step back and actually enjoy the night with my friends. #sortinghatsquad
Th representation of teacher feelings is soooo accurate! Can't stress enough how many kids actually behave like this and get on your nerves. Of course a lot of them are really nice, just behave like goofballs to get attention. Great video as always. #sortinghatsquad
IC Represent! As always, this is great info and well presented! Love that y'all aren't afraid to have fun with it but still break everything down in such an understandable manner. #sortinghatsquad
I had been wondering the title question for DAYS so I was so stoked to see that that was the video today, and then I was extra stoked when you did question 2 as I had also been wondering that for days as well!! 👏 I use a Whoop band which - in my opinion - is the most accurate tracker available as it takes into consideration your sleep as well in regards to determining calories burned, and you're right -- it never is as much as I think it should be! So I haven't added workouts into MFP since I saw it automatically bumped up my calorie goal for the day, which I wish was an option to disable or enable (are you listening, Under Armour?!) but since it's not then I just don't add it in. I have been very hungry though since following a deficit and I'm wondering if that will go away as my body adjusts to being in a deficit? I'm kind of figuring out ways to skim a few extra cals from certain snacks or meals to add up enough for a more solid meal instead of being forced to eat like a rabbit, but I am just mainly concerned that if I'm already hungry and then I work out am I going to be starving? I haven't worked out hard since being in the deficit because I am honestly quite scared/anxious that I'll feel so hungry but won't be able to fit in any more calories for the day. My boyfriend and I always watch these crossfit vlogs (mainly the Buttery Bros) and damn the way they eat with those athletes is incredibly motivating to make me want to work my ass off for no reason other than eating big plates of pancakes or waffles some day! 😍🥞😂😂 Aannnyywaaayyyyy I have a bad habit of writing full chapters as comments -- thank you for this video it was everything I had been wondering! 🙌 #SortingHatSquad 🔮⚡
This guys is providing some really honest and valuable information kids, so listen up to what's he saying. Keep up the great work sir. Really enjoyed your inspirational advice!
Wow thanks for creating all this content. You are helping me reset my mindset and attitude. I just had my first child and am trying to lose the baby weight without being too hard on myself. You rock! Keep doing what you are doing! #sortinghatsquad
That was jam packed with extremely important info J!! Well done!! Not gonna pretend I’m not stoked you mentioned me in class in front of Johnny Bags & Kenzie. OMG!! ;)
#SortingHatSquad Your content motivates me, and your explanation about age and fat loss beings tears to my eyes. I'm in my late 30's, and it means so much to hear that age doesn't stop the ability to change the body. You're an amazing human. I am so thrilled you exist!
Sadly due to schedule I’m to late for the #sortinghatsquad, but I still wanted to thank you for this. Love the new character of Darryl and hope to see him again. And also want to comment that the outtakes are amazing. Please continue to share them.
You've changed my life, I just enjoyed a weekend with friends eating all the good stuff 🍕 and today I'm not upset with myself because I keep hearing you say "you can't fuck this up" I'm back on track, thank you 🙏♥️ #sortinghatsquad
Thanks Jordan! I always added back calories burned based on what the treadmill tells me. Going to make this adjustment of not adding it back as I havent seen much progress in my weight. Thank you!
Wow.. number 3 is a real bummer... but now i understeand why i did’nt lose weight when i did an extra walk to “earn” an extra wine with chrisps.. thank you so much for your dynamic lessons!!!!
Your videos and approach are literally changing my life! Because of this I might actually hit pre baby weight by the end of the year (my kid is 3 now 🤦🏼♀️) thank you Jordan!! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you all the education you have given me in the last few months of finding your videos so straight forward and easy to understand #sortinghatsquad
HI J and Rico!!! Y'ALL are FIRE! Your Knowledge and Time you give to the community!! Thank you! Can't wait for the Big Mac video. Also, I love how you always find a Hotel Lobby to record in or it seems that way. #sortinghatsquad
Jordan, I've just recently been turned onto your channel, but since I found you I've taken a deep dive into your material. I really appreciate the synthesis you promote of trying to eat healthful foods, but not being overly limited and not to take extreme measures for when fuck-ups (inevitability) happen. Thank you for what you do and please keep it coming. #sortinghatsquad
Loved the video, especially the 2nd and 4th questions. I definitely tend to be a black and white person - either I did it perfectly or I failed. "70% is better than 0%...Its better to do something than do nothing". Heading into the next week with that mentality! Thanks Jordan. #sortinghatsquad
Thank you, been practicing these tips and they make me feel better this time around in comparison to my previous weight loss journey that was unsustainable 🙌🏾
I had that same mentality whenever I ate something that wasn’t “healthy” or I couldn’t go eat out with friends or family but I just have to tell myself “bump that noise” and eat it and get back on track the next day.
Omg you nailed it on question 2! I didn’t realize how black and white I have been. I don’t even know how I got to this point, but it’s horrible. I don’t want to keep being “all in” and if I’m not perfect to say fuck it and go all out eating all the crap. I have struggled with feeling the need to be perfect and if I’m not, I binge. It’s a cycle I don’t want to be part of anymore. Thanks so much for this Jordan!! #sortinghatsquad
So I’ve done it ALL! Lol...but they way you’re explaining things makes sense to me. I’ve been trying to lose fat for as long as I can remember and tried all the fads. Tomorrow I’m starting your 90 day challenge. I’m not going to worry about macros as much - focusing mainly on calories and protein! Thanks for the great info! #sortinghatsquad
Omgg , thank you for this! You have no idea how sane and normal you make me feel after watching all your videos . Deff will be getting in the inner circle once I recover from surgery. Thanks for all you do J ❤️ #sortinghatsquad

@@jessieenriquez8309 I still haven't learned how to do time stamps haha love them!
They removed the audio!!
All i gotta say is I’ve seen more results (mentally AND physically) in a week of following sustainable dieting with NO restriction than months of keto. If that’s not pure Jordan Syatt magic idk what is. The man knows what he’sdling#SortingHatSquad
Need this! Switching from my failing keto plan. I've gained 20 pounds back in 2019.. just found Jordan from searching for an answer to my binging.
You have no ideea how much you’ve changed my mentality.. I love how you can educate my mind by explaining everything so clear again and again and also your little jokes make me want to watch more and more from your videos. Thank you!! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy :)
As a teacher, your opener cracked me up probably more than it should have.
I love the part when you say: 'you have the power to choose. It's really just are you willing to or not.' !!
I really like how Jordan said health and fat loss are not equal. we can use multiple ways to lose fat but it not might be sustainable but ruins our health. I have tried keto diet two years ago for a year and yea i do lose fat for the first six months, however, i didn't realised it was slowly ruining my physical and MENTAL health. I end up have eating disorder such as binge eating because i restricted myself from eating carbs, then after binge eating i will just blame myself. Then I started to ask myself whether i really wanted to lose fat but sacrifice my health.
After that, i literally just FORCED myself to have balanced diet and proper meal + regular exercise, I feel a lot better in both my body and mind, i feel stronger than ever. I REALLY HOPE PEOPLE WILL START REALISING THAT LOSE FAT =/= HEALTHY, HEALTHY=/=LOSE FAT!!
Now, for me, HEALTHY IS SLEEP MORE, EAT WELL, EXERCISE REGULARLY. ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
Thanks JORDAN! #Sortinghatsquad

I used your calorie deficit and figured out how many calories I should be eating for Weight loss. I have been double tracking with WW and counting calories. I have already lost 4 pounds with your calculation. Your information has been very valuable. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are always a morale boost right when I need it. 40 pounds down. 50 to go. It's always nice to be reminded that I Can't F*ck This Up. #sortinghatsquad
So many struggle with fat loss and with the wrong information of fast results and overly restrictive diets. Thank you for breaking through it and getting the right information out there for people like me to find! No more wasted money and yo-yo dieting! #SortingHatSquad
I’ve been wondering about the exercise-calorie-add-back thing for a few weeks. Perfect timing! Love the videos and your to-the-point attitude toward fitness. Breath. Of. Fresh. Air. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you! #sortinghatsquad
I do what you suggest for point 2 if the nutritional info isnt available. I try to find something similar on my fitness pal. And with point 1 you are spot on. Im trying to gain weight and yes that would be easy if I just ate junk or could even afford to eat out daily but to do so healthily is much tougher. And on a separate note...it feels like you are talking directly to me with these vlogs. So powerful. The podcasts are awesome too.
You’ve completely changed my outlook on “dieting” and fitness in the few short months since I’ve started watching your videos! I always get something great out of each one. Thanks for being you and helping so many people. After having a real talk with myself and getting consistent in my calorie intake I’m already watching the scale very slowly move down. Always waiting for your next video! #SortingHatSquad
Moving in the right direction, Chantal 🤗
You've changed my life in so many ways you can't imagine. 😍
All the trainers and coaches I had before destroyed my view about food till now. You put it back in the right light. For years I struggeled with fat loss and finally with your motivating words I have the feeling that I can do it. Started 1 week ago and lost 3kg till now. Love you 🙌 Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Germany 😊 #sortinghatsquat
Spot on for my state now! Overeating - due to eating back calories and gotten older (ie had 2 babies and sleeing less, less chances to eat good and excercise as much as i want), so it’s far more challenging to lose and goes slower but there is progress. Great motivational video love it!! Thanks!!
So happy to have found your channel a few months ago. You have such a positive demeanour and you don't beat around the bush with things. You've had a big impact on my weight loss and I thank you for that! #sortinghatsquad
You always explain stuff in a way that just clicks with my brain 🙌 Thank you! #sortinghatsquad
That makes me so happy!
I thought the same thing
I realized that for me fat loss is about to learn better about my habits and put everything I knew before in the trash. I was afraid of the scale and about calories and now I am not anymore. It’s just data. And I am losing weight and improving my health (physical and mental) at the same time. You are changing so many minds, bodies and lifes! #sortinhatsquad
Straight to the point to where it’s understanding, some people say things cut corners and don’t be direct to the subject matter what people wanna here . Thanks 💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks so much for the outtakes. It seems so seamless and easy but it’s nice to see the struggle. its part of the process that gets overlooked.
Reposting my comment... forgot #sortinghatsquad !!!
I just watched your videos yesterday on number of calories for fat loss and how to calculate my macros... then this morning, on my first day counting, had a family breakfast at a restaurant. It’s like you knew exactly what I’d need today! Thanks for all you do!
Q2 Thank you for the new perspective! This has always been an issue for me. I either say no to social events or use it as an excuse to eat everything in sight.
#sortinghatsquad
Thank you for the comforting yet honest answer about fat loss as you age. I’m turning 40 next year and it’s something that’s been on my mind a lot throughout my weight loss. I often kick myself for not starting at a younger age because so many say it just gets harder and harder. But it’s comforting to know that maybe it’ll get harder, but it’ll still be doable.
#sortinghatsquad
I can't tell you how badly I needed you to address the age/menopause question. I've struggled to find anyone that can give me a concise answer and as ALWAYS you drill it down to the most basic terms that anyone can understand! I've always struggled with an "all or nothing" personality (due to many different reasons) and it's extremely difficult to overcome but I often hear your voice in my head saying "You have a choice". #ichooseyouJ #waitwronguniverse #sortinghatsquad #hopefully
Thank you so much for breaking it down for us on the white board and in detail explaining each! Loved meeting DARYL in this video 😁
Leah Connors 🐦🐦🐦🐦 🛴
Thank you! Question #4 hit it home for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. #sortinghatsquad
Love you J!! Always get the take home box at restaurants, it definitely helps to do it right when the food gets there instead of trying to save half. You are soo amazing and honestly are saving thousands of lives, super proud to be part of the IC and calling you my coach. DARYL, Oh my, love him!!! Rico freaking phenomenal video!!!#sortinghatsquad
Wow. Point #4 was so meaningful to me. They all were but just hearing you say that stress, menopause, THE JOB, may make losing fat harder but NOT impossible was my ah-ha! It hit me just right! #hatsortingsquad
As a teacher... this speaks to me on so many levels. Plus those expo markers - do you find they run out all the time!! Love the message of 'don't over think it, it really is this simple'. Particularly love the question and response for Question 2 - this is my all time issue! Cheers. #sortinghatsquad
As always... Great video! Last week I had an amazing delicious burrito with zero guilt because I knew I was on track and that one meal was not going to ruin my progress. The only way I can be ok with that now is thanks to watching your videos! You're the best! #sortinghatsquad
Jordan you have helped me so much with my relationship with food! My fear of food is starting to go away #sortinghatsquad
Makes me so happy, thank you!
relationship with food? sounds like you guys are boyfriend and girlfriend
Something you said about being either cut everything or just binge resonated with me today. The other day I was so good, then fell off track which then snowballed. I was acutely aware but this video has highlighted it more. Thanks for the video #sortinghatsquad
Jordan - you read my mind! Your answer re eating back calories from exercise was bang on. I've created my own playlist of your key videos, whenever I'm struggling I put it on & I'm back on track. Really appreciate the content you post #sortinghatsquad
I’m around 20 pounds down so far, and your videos give me knowledge to keep going. Thanks for the Q&A! You’re amazing! #sortinghatsquad
You changed my mentality and my relationship with diets and food. Best of luck 💖💖
Like so many others I've had a horrible relationship with food since I was a child. You have changed my perspective and made things so simple. Thank you so much for what you do!
#sortinghatsquad
I am so grateful that I found this channel!
I needed this video! I got off track this weekend because of eating out and not tracking... getting back on track now and using these tips going forward! #sortinghatsquad
I’ve had inconsistencies with eating “healthy” during the day, but once I sit on my couch, all bets are off. I get up and raid the fridge and my cabinets and just eat just about everything in site. I do some exercising in the morning but I know it’s not enough. I also have been counting calories for the past 12 years and haven’t acquired a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Things really need to change for me.
Just finished my first month following your concept of dieting for a time period and then having a week at maintenance. My diet compliance went way up because I knew I would have the wiggle room during maintenance week to indulge any cravings. Even though I have been at this for years and seen great progress and success, your way of delivery the information is extremely helpful and easy to understand. Can't wait for the big mac video! #sortinghatsquad
#SortingHatSquad Your content is awesome! I love your videos and instagram posts, I learn so much with you, but more than than I like the way you share all your knowledge with such passion to help people! And man, seeing the comments on your videos and the ones you post about the big mac challenge it is clear that you help SO MANY of us Jordan! So thank you for doing that! And thank you for another great video, you explain things so easily and always in a fun and light way!
I've been watching through a lot of your videos and I love how real you are and that you can be silly and bring humor but still have great information!
Wow wow wow!! Question 4 really brings it home. Calorie deficit all the way no matter your age. Thank you J another showstopper #sortinghatsquad
I'm so glad you addressed the lady with hashimoto's, etc. I have autoimmune diseases and it's been so hard to lose fat.
Hey Jordan
I have been watching all your videos lately after finding you on instagram. I feel like I used to be obsessed with eating perfectly "healthy" so much that I restricted myself and cut out all types of foods from my diet. I lost a lot of weight because of it but as soon as I was back in an environment where those foods were present, I binged often and in secret and ended up gaining a significant amount back. Now, trying to lose again I want to do so in a way that is sustainable for the rest of my life. I really like your approach of trying your best to eat healthy foods, but also allowing not so healthy foods in the spirit of life in a way that can one can still reach their goals. Although as of right now I'm a short term follower and subscriber, I am really enjoying your content and feeling relieved due to the fact that I don't need to cut out or be afraid of all these foods in addition to the scale. #sortinghatsquad
Finally got the chance to watch this!
Great kick in the ass to start my Monday!!!
Thanks Jordan!!!
You doing this Big Mac challenge and posting things like this has started to change my relationship with food. My goal has never been weight loss but despite that I would get anxious about enjoying a pizza night or a trip to the pub with friends. Now I’ve started to learn to step back and actually enjoy the night with my friends. #sortinghatsquad
Th representation of teacher feelings is soooo accurate! Can't stress enough how many kids actually behave like this and get on your nerves. Of course a lot of them are really nice, just behave like goofballs to get attention. Great video as always. #sortinghatsquad
IC Represent! As always, this is great info and well presented! Love that y'all aren't afraid to have fun with it but still break everything down in such an understandable manner. #sortinghatsquad
I had been wondering the title question for DAYS so I was so stoked to see that that was the video today, and then I was extra stoked when you did question 2 as I had also been wondering that for days as well!! 👏
I use a Whoop band which - in my opinion - is the most accurate tracker available as it takes into consideration your sleep as well in regards to determining calories burned, and you're right -- it never is as much as I think it should be! So I haven't added workouts into MFP since I saw it automatically bumped up my calorie goal for the day, which I wish was an option to disable or enable (are you listening, Under Armour?!) but since it's not then I just don't add it in.
I have been very hungry though since following a deficit and I'm wondering if that will go away as my body adjusts to being in a deficit? I'm kind of figuring out ways to skim a few extra cals from certain snacks or meals to add up enough for a more solid meal instead of being forced to eat like a rabbit, but I am just mainly concerned that if I'm already hungry and then I work out am I going to be starving? I haven't worked out hard since being in the deficit because I am honestly quite scared/anxious that I'll feel so hungry but won't be able to fit in any more calories for the day.
My boyfriend and I always watch these crossfit vlogs (mainly the Buttery Bros) and damn the way they eat with those athletes is incredibly motivating to make me want to work my ass off for no reason other than eating big plates of pancakes or waffles some day! 😍🥞😂😂
Aannnyywaaayyyyy I have a bad habit of writing full chapters as comments -- thank you for this video it was everything I had been wondering! 🙌
#SortingHatSquad 🔮⚡
This guys is providing some really honest and valuable information kids, so listen up to what's he saying. Keep up the great work sir. Really enjoyed your inspirational advice!
jay cutler thank you!
You have changed my life. I feel like I can finally begin to have a good relationship with food. Thanks friend ❤️ #sortinghatsquad
You changed my life J! I love the way you explain things and make them so easy to me. It’s liberating, I feel free again. #sortinghatsquad
Wow thanks for creating all this content. You are helping me reset my mindset and attitude. I just had my first child and am trying to lose the baby weight without being too hard on myself. You rock! Keep doing what you are doing! #sortinghatsquad
That was jam packed with extremely important info J!! Well done!! Not gonna pretend I’m not stoked you mentioned me in class in front of Johnny Bags & Kenzie. OMG!! ;)
Honestly, best video on the internet. I laughed. I learned. You are amazing. Quality content.
#SortingHatSquad
Your content motivates me, and your explanation about age and fat loss beings tears to my eyes. I'm in my late 30's, and it means so much to hear that age doesn't stop the ability to change the body. You're an amazing human. I am so thrilled you exist!
Sadly due to schedule I’m to late for the #sortinghatsquad, but I still wanted to thank you for this. Love the new character of Darryl and hope to see him again. And also want to comment that the outtakes are amazing. Please continue to share them.
You've changed my life, I just enjoyed a weekend with friends eating all the good stuff 🍕 and today I'm not upset with myself because I keep hearing you say "you can't fuck this up" I'm back on track, thank you 🙏♥️ #sortinghatsquad
I'm really thankful for you Mr syatt keep dropping dimes
Great video Jordan!
Kenzie, Johnny and Darryl made my day hahahaha, so so funny😂😂
Wish everyone a great week!
Thanks Jordan! I always added back calories burned based on what the treadmill tells me. Going to make this adjustment of not adding it back as I havent seen much progress in my weight. Thank you!
I love the tip about asking for a take home box at the restaurant before you even get your food. Love this. #sortinghatsquad
Wow.. number 3 is a real bummer... but now i understeand why i did’nt lose weight when i did an extra walk to “earn” an extra wine with chrisps.. thank you so much for your dynamic lessons!!!!
Your videos and approach are literally changing my life! Because of this I might actually hit pre baby weight by the end of the year (my kid is 3 now 🤦🏼♀️) thank you Jordan!! #sortinghatsquad
Thank you all the education you have given me in the last few months of finding your videos so straight forward and easy to understand #sortinghatsquad
#sortinghatsquad you’ve helped me so much the last 2 months with my weight loss and health and I’m down a total of 22lbs so far!
Awww fab news Alexandra. Love your glasses 😘
As alway, clearly communicated, well presented, logical, sensical, helpful and entertaining!! Thanks J
#SortingHatSquad
Thanks for clarifying the “burned calories during exercise” issue. #sortinghatsquad
I have been looking forward to this content all day! Thanks for the info! Love your videos! Especially the acting and the HP references! 😄
Thank you so much!
HI J and Rico!!! Y'ALL are FIRE! Your Knowledge and Time you give to the community!! Thank you! Can't wait for the Big Mac video. Also, I love how you always find a Hotel Lobby to record in or it seems that way.
#sortinghatsquad
Treyla Elliott Thank you Treyla!
#sortinghatsquad
Love when one of your vids hits my inbox. Look forward to everyone of them. Super excited for the Big Mac challenge vid to hit🙌🏻
This makes so much sense! I never really trusted MFP when it added those burned calories back in. Thank you for breaking it down! #sortinghatsquad
Great stuff Jordan. Love the Mike's Macros shoutout. Subscribed
#SortingHatSquad
Jordan, I've just recently been turned onto your channel, but since I found you I've taken a deep dive into your material. I really appreciate the synthesis you promote of trying to eat healthful foods, but not being overly limited and not to take extreme measures for when fuck-ups (inevitability) happen. Thank you for what you do and please keep it coming.
#sortinghatsquad
Such great wisdom and insight in this video! Thank you Jordan and God bless you
Loved the video, especially the 2nd and 4th questions. I definitely tend to be a black and white person - either I did it perfectly or I failed. "70% is better than 0%...Its better to do something than do nothing". Heading into the next week with that mentality! Thanks Jordan. #sortinghatsquad
Thank you, been practicing these tips and they make me feel better this time around in comparison to my previous weight loss journey that was unsustainable 🙌🏾
Love you J! From Ireland and Jameson tour! #sortinghatsquad
I had that same mentality whenever I ate something that wasn’t “healthy” or I couldn’t go eat out with friends or family but I just have to tell myself “bump that noise” and eat it and get back on track the next day.
Omg you nailed it on question 2! I didn’t realize how black and white I have been. I don’t even know how I got to this point, but it’s horrible. I don’t want to keep being “all in” and if I’m not perfect to say fuck it and go all out eating all the crap. I have struggled with feeling the need to be perfect and if I’m not, I binge. It’s a cycle I don’t want to be part of anymore.
Thanks so much for this Jordan!!
#sortinghatsquad
I'm actually going thru menopause, so thank you for that!!! Info was very helpful, Darrel 😂
So I’ve done it ALL! Lol...but they way you’re explaining things makes sense to me. I’ve been trying to lose fat for as long as I can remember and tried all the fads. Tomorrow I’m starting your 90 day challenge. I’m not going to worry about macros as much - focusing mainly on calories and protein! Thanks for the great info! #sortinghatsquad
Your videos completely changed my perspective on fat loss and I feel in control for the first time in my life! Thank you! #sortinghatsquad
I love the way you teach so easy to understand. Thank you
Omgg , thank you for this! You have no idea how sane and normal you make me feel after watching all your videos . Deff will be getting in the inner circle once I recover from surgery. Thanks for all you do J ❤️ #sortinghatsquad
