For 99.9% of people out there there's no need to partition nutrients, it's just too complicated. Total daily caloric intake + a good ratio of protein, carbs, fat and fiber coming 80% from whole healthy foods they love the taste of will do the trick. With 20% being whatever they want as long as the calories are accounted for.
I can only say: 'WOW'!! There are so much information just in 1 video that is so incredible. I'm just keep shaking my head, cause that wow effect! I see the conciousness behind all these steps and its amazing, and I know if I wanna do it in the right way I have to be much more thoughtfull of all these aspects just as you! Thank you for explaining all these and many more coming soon I hope!
I don't see why people criticize Mike Chang and Six Pack Shortcuts. I can understand the criticism for the "Afterburn Effect" and stuffing your face with whatever, but besides that, non of the information we get from these people on this channel is biased.Much respect, keep doing what you guys are doing and bring back Mike!
Good vid! Most times I do intermittend fasting: Training in a fasted state and after my workout I start with my post workout meal! With this I lost 30 pounds of fat.
Hey Thomas. I see some videos where you say you are fasting before and after your workout and eating in the evening. Then on other videos you are recommending eating fruit before the workout. I'm intermittent fasting and skipping breakfast while working out in the morning. My trainer wants me to eat carbs before and after my workout. I'm confused. Please can anyone shed some light here?
You pretty much described what type food I ate today pre and post workout, and even in the same order ! Amazing...and I'm seeing the results on the scale too ! Lots of great tips and facts in this one. Thank You !
Can you simplify it down for me? What u got was: 1. carbs, 15 min wait 2. Fruit, 15 min wait 3. Protein, 15 min wait 4. stretchy sets 5. No carbs, just protein 6. Carbs- Coconut oil, grassy beef, tumeric, broccoli 7. Protein 8. Carbs That's probabaly wrong as there was a lot of extra stuff in between each 'step' so could you please clean it up for me. Many thanks
+Woody ozone 1/2 - The fruits are the carbs. 3 - I'm not watching the video again but I don't know what the 15 min wait is for unless you're saying you should start your workout then which doesn't sound right. 5 - He said protein and fat. 6 - I'm not sure if you're trying to call all of those carbs but that was his meal you mentioned with 5. 7 - Missing the fat again.
I totally agree, that was information overload… A more simplified explanation would be extremely helpful for those who are ignorant with this like myself! Thank you!!!
I workout in the morning and I don't have time to cook a legitimate meal, so what is a good pre and post workout snack that will allow my body maximum strength and definition?
+Thomas DeLauer seems weird, I LOVE eating fish after a workout :D With my porridge oats, tastes so nice. Fish I use mostly is mackarel and after that I'd say tuna, and then herring.
In Thomas' more recent videos he recommends high glycemic carbs post-workout, so which one is it?? Carbs . . protein? . . Fat?? Doesn't replenishing glycogen stores with carbs after a workout help muscle growth? Very confusing when one video contradicts another.
I workout early in the morning and I don't have a lot of time to cook, so what is a good pre and post workout snack that will provide me good energy and recovery and allow my body to get maximum strength and definition?
Dear Six Pack Shortcuts, I am body building but at an unaffordable rate. I understand that bodybuilding is very costly but there must be a way for people on a very tight budget. I'm 24 and I desperately want to get big and fit like you guys. Could you please upload a decent and lengthy video for all of us young guys who are aspiring to be ripped and big at an affordable cost? Please man, all of these other websites and Google are NOT giving a clear and straight answer.
Loved this video! Explained why everything works together, and made it easy for everyone to understand. I want to work in a field like this so seeing this guy present this information the way he did inspires me.
+Annatar Its really hard to eat a bunch of fish, cuz usually fish are so small and sometimes real expensive. Beef is not as expensive and you can get a lot of it at once, as for fish, you have to buy one at a time. It's really all based on preference, yes you are correct, fish are rich in omega 3, probably even more than the beef, but like I said, fish are hard to eat mass productively, as for beef, its much much easier and cheaper. That was a real good point tho it had me thinking xD
Failure for years and years you are my eye opener mate that is superb ....wow ...hope this will bring successsssss this time its all about how- what-when do you eat your meal that matters
I'm an 18 year old high school soccer player and I was wondering if you Thomas DeLauer or anyone else knows if reduced fat triscuits are a good snack that's high in carbohydrates to eat a few hours before a soccer game, I usually just eat a banana about 1-2 hours before but I wanted to eat something else at least 3-4 hours before the game because I'm not sure if a banana is enough. If you have any suggestions for better alternatives and/or different time frames, feel free to mention them. Thanks!
Im 63, a vegan, and training with HITT with kettle bells 5 days a week, I watch your videos but I feel overwhelmed with all of the information that you provide. my goal is intermittent fasting, and high protein vegan meal. what can your program assist me with, which program should I buy?
Hi Peter, You can call in and speak with a coach at any time. They will get you set up with a complimentary game plan. Let's simplify things and get you on the right path! 1-512-969-6060
Hi Thomas. What should i eat after cardio workout? I do non fasted cardio in the morning. After i wake up I eat a high protein, high fat, low carb meal (usually scrambled eggs with some veggies), then i wait 1-2 hours, then i go walking.
Hey Thomas! What's better for muscle growth with minimal fat, pre workout meal no carb and high fat and then on post workout put the carbs (like carb back loading) or is better do like you explain at that video?
I have a small amount of body fat a little below my belly button. I have tried a lot to get rid of it. I have upper and middle abs but I can't get that lower body fat to go away. Suggestions?
I'm 14 years old 120 pounds looking to gain weight mostly muscle but stay fit I'm starting this daily six pack workout and this upper body (push-up and jumping jacks knees workout thing ) I think it'll work but I was wondering 1.what to eat before and after my at home daily workout and how many calories and protein I should have on a daily basis? 2.what time of day should I do my workout? 3.How long approximately should I start seeing changes
Push ups and jumping jacks will not build a lot of muscle. To build bigger muscles, you need to get stronger while eating more. Heavy weight, low reps in the 3-6 range per set for 3-4 sets. Each week, aim to improve your personal record by going up one rep or slightly increasing the weight. Do big compound exercises that hit multiple muscles including your biggest ones: Bench press (you can do this on the floor) Overhead press Bent over rows Pull ups/Chin ups (add a weighted backpack) Squat with weights (you can add a vest or pack) Deadlift A good starter kit is two adjustable dumbbells with 50+ lbs of plates for each, wrist straps, a pull up bar, and a foam roll up mat for the floor.
Eat to bulk up too. Clean bulk calories would be your weight x 15, plus 200 to 300. Eat protein grams per day around 0.82 x your weight. Good protein sources are packaged tuna, chicken breast, and whey protein powder. Fill up the rest of your calories with healthy unsaturated fats (nuts, avocado, olive oil) and high fiber carbs (fruits, veggies, beans, 100% whole grains).
If I'm a skinny dude 5'9 132 and it's hard to even gain weight , is eating Rice, potatoes, mushrooms, and beans in the same meal good for me ? Assuming I worked out that day
workout in the AM don't have time to go home and cook post workout meal as in this videoI usually have protein shake and or a white bread PBJ any suggestions?
If you cut the carbs in the postworkout meal, you won't be able to utilize the protein you consume, the carbohydrates are essential to your body to absorb protein.
i wanted to know if u could plan me a workout and tell me what day and what time i can do it for the fastest results i want the perfect body in a least one month or two
Man, this is way too complex. it's like a chemistry exam.
For 99.9% of people out there there's no need to partition nutrients, it's just too complicated. Total daily caloric intake + a good ratio of protein, carbs, fat and fiber coming 80% from whole healthy foods they love the taste of will do the trick. With 20% being whatever they want as long as the calories are accounted for.
+Mario Tomic Agree this much obsession with fitness and nutrition take the fun out of eating junk and living a normal life.
seuf
I always workout on a suspension bridge...
So you eat carbs before a workout to get energy and after the workout you eat protein for example a proteinbar, vegatables etc? for the best results?
This guy has a great physique
+Thomas DeLauer Thanks to steroids, right?
+Luke Richardson lol he wont answer that, that way people would know they cant be like him naturally! silly goose!
The camera man is like wtf is this guy saying
+seldin911 I bet his eyes glazed over during the recording :-)
+Thomas DeLauer I workout after work most times & finish around 10:30 P.M. what do you suggest I have?
+Thomas DeLauer Great video :D the information you give ~
Why I train fasted in the morning...this is making something way to hard when it doesn't have to be

What is the best time to work out?.. Night or morning? To build muscles??
These are one of the best advices I ever got from a channel!
I thought working out in fasting state is the best :0
You pretty much described what type food I ate today pre and post workout, and even in the same order ! Amazing...and I'm seeing the results on the scale too ! Lots of great tips and facts in this one. Thank You !
Can you simplify it down for me?

1/2 - The fruits are the carbs.
3 - I'm not watching the video again but I don't know what the 15 min wait is for unless you're saying you should start your workout then which doesn't sound right.
5 - He said protein and fat.
6 - I'm not sure if you're trying to call all of those carbs but that was his meal you mentioned with 5.

+Woody ozone Nah I think he was saying get your carbs from the fruit mate :)
I totally agree, that was information overload… A more simplified explanation would be extremely helpful for those who are ignorant with this like myself! Thank you!!!
+Thomas DeLauer I watched the entire duration. Something I don't normally do. Knowledge is very powerful!
Love your explanation as an MD.
Wait, i'm not surposed to eat fruit unless im doing exerxise straight after?
I am Asian
+jake hi and?
This is actually first guy/trainer on this channel that knows what he is talking about
Is that the only time you recommend eating fruits? Pre workout?
Thanks
Could you please do a video on a pre workout, for those of us who don't like coffee.
I got a workout guide...
Eat... Clean, and workout!!!
Their you go
I workout in the morning and I don't have time to cook a legitimate meal, so what is a good pre and post workout snack that will allow my body maximum strength and definition?
Please just tell me what should I eat 🥺
Dude, why do want to eat grass fed beef to get omega 3. Fish is the best source of omega 3.
+Thomas DeLauer seems weird, I LOVE eating fish after a workout :D With my porridge oats, tastes so nice. Fish I use mostly is mackarel and after that I'd say tuna, and then herring.
when it comes to cheap source of omega 3, sardines FTW!
ikr!
In another video you said eating within 30 minutes post workout wasn’t important.. so which is it?
I'm eating one banana after workouts 6/7.
Why is it a bad thing? After losing all energy,
one banana helping me to recover.
VERY INFORMATIVE. Thanks for the upload!
how can i do them rail push ups if i dont have a lake at home lol
LOL, broccoli and beef PWO. I can tell this guy has great genetics.
Do you recommend to eat before workout? Or eating protein after workout? What about if im fasting, working out and then fasting and eat after 3 hrs?
Here I thought I knew what I was doing with all this fitness stuff (been doing it for 5 years now). There is so much to it.
Since grass fed beef is expensive. I could just use baked chicken breast and make a kale only smooth. Easy
In Thomas' more recent videos he recommends high glycemic carbs post-workout, so which one is it?? Carbs . . protein? . . Fat?? Doesn't replenishing glycogen stores with carbs after a workout help muscle growth? Very confusing when one video contradicts another.
The down arrow next to the bold title (to the right when watching with phone in the vertical position) breaks down this video. GREAT INFO.
What would we stretch if we're working abs?
+Robin Matherz Your lower back (lumbar region) - you can do this by exhaling and reaching for your toes.
+Six Pack Shortcuts Hey,can you give a good example of a pre-workout meal?
+reybatistafan he said fruit... so basically u can make a smoothy.
AK KA That's Perfect! Thanks! :D
***** ;) I highly recommend bananas and watermelon, I actually feel less like giving up after eating a watermelon and more refreshed! :)
I workout early in the morning and I don't have a lot of time to cook, so what is a good pre and post workout snack that will provide me good energy and recovery and allow my body to get maximum strength and definition?
Dear Six Pack Shortcuts,
I am body building but at an unaffordable rate. I understand that bodybuilding is very costly but there must be a way for people on a very tight budget. I'm 24 and I desperately want to get big and fit like you guys. Could you please upload a decent and lengthy video for all of us young guys who are aspiring to be ripped and big at an affordable cost? Please man, all of these other websites and Google are NOT giving a clear and straight answer.
Research into Fructose at the moment is so contradicting anyway, but I agree it's not the best post workout unless you're running home.
Be sure to add black pepper to increase turmeric absorption.
Loved this video! Explained why everything works together, and made it easy for everyone to understand. I want to work in a field like this so seeing this guy present this information the way he did inspires me.
But I love feeling sore. Let's me know I'm doing something right.
Get to it man!!
What is a good breakfast to eat if you are working out in the morning when trying to lose weight? Thank!
Very useful tips... 2hrs before my workout, had my carbs first and then 30min later protein. Don't forget to drink plenty of room temperature water.
great advice
What to eat is still not clear. He showed some bananas before the work out, :-) but then he said wait for 15 minutes and then dive into Protein, WTF?
I hope that somebody can help me how many body parts I can exercise in a single workout thank you you don't know how much appreciate you help
Older lifters have issues with Cholesterol and Salt. We also must keep Carbohydrates under 240 grams.

Textbook and reaserch data nutrition knowledge. Very well presented, scholarly. Thank you for the tips.
Thanks great video tom/.
great video. ..thank you for sharing
Really good advice
Well explained, thanks man
great video. very helpful
Mr Delauer,I train on an empty stomach,just a warm lemonade. Is that ok ,or I burn my muscles? Thanks
But, Thomas, wouldn't protein also trigger insulin spiking?? Please enlighten me
totally opposite what dr. berg said. Dr. Berg said eat protein first, then carbs. Who should I listen to? They both make sense to me.
this should be for intermediate to advanced lifters, I think the rest of us just need to care about the macros and total caloric intake
Hey Thomas! What's better for muscle growth with minimal fat, pre workout meal no carb and high fat and then on post workout put the carbs (like carb back loading) or is better do like you explain at that video?
Does fat post workout slow the absorption of nutrients?
so would you recommend broccoli for post workout also for women since it lowers estrogen levels.....if not then what can we as women eat?
I have a small amount of body fat a little below my belly button. I have tried a lot to get rid of it. I have upper and middle abs but I can't get that lower body fat to go away. Suggestions?

Progress will be gradual. Expect to see significant results after months of steady training on a good diet.
Well I just always do every set till failure wait a few sec do another set repeat and eat good
What about protein shakes post workout? That is what I currently do.
I should have got this info a couple of years back.
great video !!!!
If I'm a skinny dude 5'9 132 and it's hard to even gain weight , is eating Rice, potatoes, mushrooms, and beans in the same meal good for me ? Assuming I worked out that day
Awesome video! Greetings from Germany ;)
workout in the AM don't have time to go home and cook post workout meal as in this videoI usually have protein shake and or a white bread PBJ any suggestions?
So you eat high fat high protein 20-30 minutes after your workout no carbs and then 2 hours after that high fat low carb when do you eat your carbs
Can we use WIM HOF could his breathing techniques be a break through with this work out
I always put protein powder in my oats , are u telling me to separate them?
They say that coconut oil is bad for the heart. Is that true?
How much fruit and protein before your workout? An apple and 24g of protein to light?
If you cut the carbs in the postworkout meal, you won't be able to utilize the protein you consume, the carbohydrates are essential to your body to absorb protein.
uhhhhh what?
i wanted to know if u could plan me a workout and tell me what day and what time i can do it for the fastest results i want the perfect body in a least one month or two
on days where it's impractical to cook something post workout, what would be a good alternative meal?
do u recommend eating fat preworkout?
