    incredible. im 70 pounds overweight and i absolutely hate it. i used to be inshape and ripped. but my last semester at university was soooo stressful i was eating to ease my stress to the point i didn’t realize i was gaining so much.

    i always say. everyone looks better skinny and it is absolutely true. 😂 i swear i miss my 6 pack waking up in the morning and feeling my abs was the one thing in life that was my guilty pleasure. 😂. but soon i plan on getting back in shape because ive just had enough of looking at myself. the me now still acts like the old me but my reflection i dont see the old me. soon ill be working on myself. soon.

    This is a good positive video that’s not full of over complicated science talk lol. I’m currently around 28-30% body fat and I’m going through recomp, training to to gain muscle and eating cleaner and on a 300 calorie deficit to lose fat as well as 10k steps a day. So far it’s working so fingers crossed I can keep building muscle with progressive overload despite losing weight at the same time

  6. @qwmn69 on July 30, 2025 at 6:10 am

    who wants to scan food into an app every time they eat and weight food LOL, just go by feel, everyone knows deep down when they over eat, just listen to your body and do what feels right, this regimented way is no way to live life!

    No mention of testosterone or steroids and I think that should be addressed.

  13. @Shortie56309 on July 30, 2025 at 6:16 am

    Everyone saying calories calories calories burn more calories than you consume you lose weight what if those calories are full of carbs and sugars??? Does the same shit apply?

  14. @ashleym1849 on July 30, 2025 at 6:17 am

    Wish I could focus on a two hour workout. I just don’t have the time. School and full time job Hopefully once I graduate I can do that

    Clearly the guy has no kids. Going to the gym every day means either your wife stays home and clean and cook and does everything, or you pay someone to do it all. I pass from 255 to 185 in 2 years and I had no kids. Going to the gym and thinking of eating was my only issues in my life. Im not saying it’s impossible, but having 2 kids and no money to pay for someone cleaning and cooking, it’s almost impossible.

  18. @govenordave on July 30, 2025 at 6:21 am

    This video is worth commenting (which I rarely do). The information is spot on…consistency is key. Great job with your transformation.

    The apple watch is not really accurate to track calories burned. It really depends on so many factors. A normal person uses more than 300 calories/day just to think (some use less 😛 ). All the other functions in your body also consume calories and they are different from person to person. Some people can burn more if they have a health problem. Some burn more by default. My body usually burns about 1200 calories with zero steps, doing nothing at all. Just keeping my temperature at the normal level, digesting, moving blood around, blinking, thinking, having facial expressions, everything you do in life needs energy. The most effective way to lose weight is to burn at least 60% of the calories you eat thru exercise and let your body use the rest to take you into caloric deficit territory. Or if you don’t work out at all, just eat less than 1700 calories for men and 1400 for women. But working out will have a lot of health benefits on top of the weight loss, so I suggest you take that route. There’s no trick, just don’t cheat and be consistent. Nothing else works.

  31. @tigeruppercut2000 on July 30, 2025 at 6:39 am

    Fck all the calorie counting! Just do heavy intermittent fasting ie. bare minimum 16:8, ideally 20:4 or OMAD. Don’t eat like a pig. Way more effective and easier

  32. @Mattymcnasty-o9c on July 30, 2025 at 6:39 am

  36. @KyleVertoch on July 30, 2025 at 6:47 am

    I’m glad I’m not alone as far as the two hours! For me and what I do, it’s dang near impossible to get out in 45 min

  37. @jman96ization on July 30, 2025 at 6:47 am

    The production quality of this video is motivation enough 😂 good lord

  40. @andrewrodriguez4463 on July 30, 2025 at 6:49 am

    Only 1:37 into this video and couldn’t help notice your hairline. I watch videos like this from time to time and I only hope you’re upfront and honest about your TRT/anabolic use. There’s no shame in it because regardless of what you’re taking that physique requires hard work, dedication and discipline. There are far too many fitness guys out there that create unrealistic expectation because they don’t share their PED use. A lot of people get discouraged thinking they can achieve these same results without having the full picture.

  41. @iakoby8960 on July 30, 2025 at 6:51 am

    you did a great job. Well done.

    Sorry but this is the most useless substance-less basic video ever that drags on about 17mins longer than it needs to be with zero info.

    What a cool guy

  45. @user-be9og6eo3w on July 30, 2025 at 6:55 am

    This was great. Your video is so polished, and visually beautiful to watch .
    I like your direct approach to explaining your process. What I like the most, it seems your transformation did not affect your ego. You come across as genuine, down to earth, a nice guy. Thank you for sharing.

  46. @saulhendrix4459 on July 30, 2025 at 6:56 am

    This is Apple secret marketing… but its ok 🙂

  47. @jatinverma7967 on July 30, 2025 at 6:58 am

    This is genuinely the best fitness video I have watched. I’m gonna remember the quote you told in the end, and yes: consistency, consistency, consistency, an infinite times. Also how you said treat your body like a river really changed my perspective on how I’m gonna look at myself from now on. This just means I need to do what the flow demands. There’s no fix formula. Man! You just nailed everything in this video. The diet part.

    Thank you very much. I started going gym in 2023 but I was only consistent for the first 5 months and I saw some changes. Since then I’m pretty much the same so I’m gonna start again. Whatever happens, I’ll let you know there I’m in 1 year. Thank you, thank you very much.

  48. @godanaali7993 on July 30, 2025 at 6:58 am

    I’m going through depression and anxiety seeing ur video and started gym i feel so good bro i love you

  49. @ruisury on July 30, 2025 at 6:59 am

    In Peru people don’t track the calories but instead eat healthier and keep busy from 5am to 9pm and look super lean and muscular . I myself was supper healthy while traveling there because I kept busy from 5:30 am and living in a 6th floor carrying my baby in and out the building 3 times a day and going to the gym in the morning and going to jiujitsu and MMA from 7pm to 9pm and It was super easy to be lean . If you don’t want to count your calories CUT SODA , CUT PROCESSED FOOD , CUT COOKIES AND PROCESSED JUICES . EAT HIGHT PROTEIN LOW CARBS MEALS ! I lose 65 pounds like that in 4 months … without tracking my calories … now that I’m kinda tracking to get the shredded effect if I cheat one day I work out twice a day ❤
