Also, we end up doing better workouts in the long run. Hope this helps @Nik

    Bro, the production quality of this video is FANTASTIC. The fact that you guys are both creatives and you pulled this transformation off while still being productive is incredible! You look amazing, and you earned every bit of it! As a sound engineer, pilot, and getting my foot in the door for cinematography myself, this video hit home. I've not been the best to my body over the years after I got out of the Active Duty Army. I really need to pull my consistency together for my mental health more than anything.

    I came upon your video cause I was truly looking for some motivation to embark on a weight loss transformation, but also something to help me with a mindset shift. Today is July 1, 2023. My journey starts Monday morning. I needed to overhaul my fridge and unfortunately today I am not financially fit. Monday, July 3, 2023, I will have thrown out all sugary products and processed foods and filled my fridge with healthy fruits and veggies. Whole foods to be exact. 5'8"/249lbs. Got a long way to go, but I have conquered so much already. You see, I am in recovery and I have 3 years clean. For 33 years I abused illicit drugs and on Nov. 19, 2023, God saved my life. That is the day I officially stop using drugs. Thank you for your precise and easy-to-understand regimen suggestions. You are an incredible inspiration to me. God bless you and your family. 7/3/23 = Day 1!

    Thank you so much for spreading these truths! I'm 48 years old and I've been working out and paying attention to my nutrition since I was 20. In the last 4 years my wife and I have had 3 children and I stopped working out and watching what i eat for those 4 years. My weight ballooned from 175 lbs to 207 lbs! But I never really worried about it because of the knowledge I had gained over all those years. I was just busy being a late stage in life, new dad! I finally allowed myself to get back to working out and paying attention to my nutrition about 4 months ago and I'm already back down to 182 lbs. My wife just can't believe how fast I did it. But I've always told her and anyone else who wanted to know....."IT AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE!" 1st, be true to yourself about what you're putting in your body. 2nd put in less than you put out and you will lose weight. 3rd, exercise with both resistance and cardio and you will lose fat and gain muscle! I also can't stress to people enough the importance of at least 1 gram of protein/ lb of body weight for muscle growth. 💯!!

    What a great video production. I've been on my own fitness program for several years. I started at 225 lbs and then found the Keto diet and got down to 188 lbs. But I plateaued out there. Then I found Remmington James who does the Anabolic Diet and I've gone from the 188 lbs mark to 143 lbs. today. Exercise wise I use to go to the gym 4 to 5 days a week. When covid hit I stopped going and started working out at the house 6 to 7 days a week. I use light weights 5 to 7 lbs with high reps. I'm 74 years old this year. Stay well, Bruce.

    Great video. It’s tough to not simply “get inspired” when watching your story. I am recovering from a climbing accident for 4 months now and that has made me gain several pounds for not being able to exercise. I’m almost at the point that I will be able to try jogging again, and sustaining a calorie deficit while maintaining my mental health will be tough, but I just need it right now. Thanks for making this simple, I will try to remember that to prevent me from losing focus. And kudos on the quality of the video/audio, you should be proud!

    Thank you for the video, it's simply how i started my journey. I probably was goin through the same thing as you. Messed up diet, anxiety, mental stress, feeling ashamed of my during my early 30s. So last may i made the decision to start my complete transformation, quit smoking, changed my diet to healthy and way less far, started working out daily and as you said it's not about motivation nor inspiration, i actually want this to be my lifestyle.

  • @NextLevelLawnCare

    8 years ago i got into body building, for 2.5 years, i strictly followed a typical bro science diet and workout plan. i became addicted to the pain of the gym and went from 6'1 245lbs 24% body fat to a healthy 205lbs and hovered around 9% body fat. it wasn't easy to maintain and I always hated the diet part. the last year i was into fitness i adopted more of a diet plan to what you have just explained. I felt way better and stayed in the exact same shape that last year. Then i got divorced, became severely depressed and for the last 5.5 years I've been a lazy couch potato, in that time span I've been to a gym twice. today i woke up at 260lbs and about 32% body fat. I have zero energy every day. A few days ago i made a decision to start working back towards health, not caring to be the body builder i use to be, just healthy. I got a gym membership again a few days ago, but until about 3 hours ago had still not found the motivation to go. today i worked out for 15 mins. i made my muscles sore, did 5 minutes of cardio and called it a step in the right direction. I think its very important for people to understand you cant keep telling yourself one day, make today DAY ONE! start eating in a calorie deficit or atleast working towards a calorie deficit, and start exercising, weather in the gym, outside or home just start. put in some sort of effort and you will get there just like i know ill get there again.

    I am 62, lost almost all my post plandemic weight gain of 60lbs, the food you eat is half the battle and yes you need to track calories, I weigh all my food, use the carb manager and fitbit to track calories and energy expended. I do a 1000 calorie deficit at least 2 times a week. Also I eat protein 3 ounces, vegetables 3 ounces, low fat. I do 3 meals a day, if I get hungry i eat lean protein only. I walk on treadmill with a weighted vest every day for an hour do hiit 2 to 3 times a week, and weight train with weights 4 to 5 times a week depending on how sore I am.

    I did exactly what you did about 5 months ago. Calorie deficit, myfitnesspal, and an apple watch got it all started. Everything you said is totally true and works. 4 days a week in the gym for 45min was all i did and continue to do. I’m still losing weight on that program. May 1st i was 230lbs (5’10)today 9/30 I’m currently 176lbs. 2 months of keto, and incline walking (45min) jump started the weight lose wildly. To anyone that wants to take this leap, its well worth it and very easy once you hack your mindset. This has to be a lifestyle. Otherwise the progress wont last. Keep it up brother

      Get that carb/sugar addiction out of your life, bro. Stay away from the processed crap, anything in a bag or a box is almost always bad for you. Stay as close to the original as possible, centered around fresh, raw vegetables and high-quality cuts of meat. A vegetable salad a day with maybe a vinegar (not vinegarette) dressing is a good way to start. No deli meats, of course. When I was your age, I lost 45 pounds in less than 6 months eating this type of diet and working-out 2hrsX6days just like he talks about in this video ... that was over 20 years ago. Good luck, you can do it.

    Just watched this video for the first time. I started this journey 2 months ago (It will be 2 months in 4 days). I was 290 lbs. I weighed in today, and was 256. All nutrition so far. The effects it has had on me goes far beyond just my appearance. You are right about so many things. Most importantly, doing it for your self, and not relying on anything or anyone else for motivation. Do it for the feeling and the sense of accomplishment it gives you. Make it a way of life, rather than something temporary. Respect the process, and don't get frustrated things aren't happening fast enough. Some weeks, I will lose 3-5 lbs, other weeks, I won't lose anything. It won't be a steady line. But give it time, stay consistent, and you will reach your goals. You may not get to where you want to be as fast as you would like, but put in the effort, and you will get better and better each day. Great video! and an awesome presentation.

    I was following all of this advice when I started my weight loss journey 3 years ago and lost 100+ lbs. Every now and then I lose myself a bit and gain 10-15 lbs and I start to feel anxious (like I am now) because I start to have fear of going back to the old me. Truth is that I’m in a really stressful time of my life where I’m so close to finally graduating college and that’s been the priority these last few months. I felt like I needed to watch this video to get back on track. But one thing I took from this is what you said towards the end: “fitness or life in general isn’t a math equation, or linear. It’s a river that flows in different directions”. And the most important thing is to forgive yourself when you have a small fallout. Pick yourself back up and keep going. This was an amazing video.
