Diet and Exercise Don-t Work (WASTE OF TIME)

Diet and exercise are two of the worst words in the fitness industry. Why? Because they usually accompany a lot of wasted time and represent the one-two attack plan that most people use when they want to try and lose weight and get in shape. The problem with this approach is that it is short term at best and doesn-t do anything to help you make long standing, permanent changes to your physique. In this video, I show you that you need to stop thinking about eating in terms of diet and more as nutrition to fuel your body and your muscles. Likewise, exercise needs to be something you stop doing and instead you need to start training. Exercise is doing activity for the sake of moving. There doesn-t have to be any plan or progression behind it. That said, if you want to make the most significant changes to your body and lose weight once and for all while building muscle you will want to be sure you are putting a plan behind your workouts. Diets are short term attempts at losing weight. They are based on the concept of deprivation and restriction. The minute you get tired of depriving yourself of the very things your body often needs to sustain it (ie. carbohydrates) your body rebels against you and makes it impossible to stick to the diet. As soon as you abandon your eating restrictions, the weight comes right back and you often find yourself angry at your inability to have the will power to stick to it. I say, you should be happy you finally got off the road to nowhere so you can actually make long term changes. Exercise is something that I find all too common occurring in gyms these days. If you head to the gym and have no idea what you are truly trying to accomplish with that days workout or you don-t know what you plan on doing the next day or where you are ultimately trying to get to, then you are likely just exercising. If your idea of a good workout is one that makes you sweat or feel a little burn in your abs then you don-t have a good training plan in place. Don-t think that this is simply a matter of semantics. The way we use these words often represents our intentions when using them. At the turn of a new year everyone seems to want to do something to help themselves lose weight and get in better shape. The all too common combo of diet and exercise is the staple solution for most. My problem is, it-s short term and doomed to fail. If you-re looking for a sustainable way to lose weight without dieting and get in the best shape of your life, head to and get the complete ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Honestly, I don't like to call or word anything such a so called -diet-. For me, personally, I just call it -eating healthy-. I don't eat fast foods or processed shit or sugary cakes or refined carbs or pizza.
I eat things that is good for me and gonna help me stay in shape by putting on muscle. I eat chicken breast, brown rice, black beans, lot of fruits and vegetables, oatmeal, tuna, etc. Just good things that are healthy and help you stay in shape.
I think people make things too complicated when it comes to eating right. But when you first start working out, you're not gonna be dieting or anything like that. Everyone eats like shit when they first start working out, including myself.
You make a lot of mistakes in the beginning. I did a lot of that too but you just gotta keep learning and learning. Find what exercise routine works best for you and find a healthy eating plan that you like and enjoy that you can stick with. Everything takes a lot of self discipline and motivation.

I watch your shows a lot and you make perfect sense to me from a lot of the other shows I have watched I am 45 years old and I'm still in the best shape of my life and you are exactly right people have to stop making excuses to work out and stick with some type of training plan that's why half the people in the world don't proceed on the way they want to look I follow your workouts a lot not that I don't know what I'm doing but for different changes and shocks older guys look for that you need that reshot to the muscle and different changes and workouts that is the key and working out always changing up but anyway good job Jeff like always you put a simple fact out there sir thank you

We do not need a diet. We just need to do moderate eating, moderate exercise, take in enough nutrition and live to the fullest. It's not worth it worrying about what you are going to eat all the time and how each food will damage your body - which it won't as long as you don't overdose or overeat on Something. You need to give ypur stomach a break also. but we need to prepare times for physical activity and it doesn't have to be sport. If you hate sport like me, that's ok. It doesn't make you unfit. You can do stretching, running, working out those muscles or something active each day

I've been slowly losing weight. At the beginning of 2017 I was 275 lbs, and my lowest was in December at 222 lbs. Last week I weighed myself at 229 lbs and figured that even though I was going to the gym, I wasn't moving around enough during the day.
I went for at least a hour long ruck march almost every day and chopped wood for a half hour or more, on top of going to the gym. At the end of the week I was excited to see how much weight I lost, I even would have been happy with 228, but nope, 235. after all that hard work I ended up gaining 6 pounds. I don't get it.

Boy slash girl comment killed me LOL. On another topic; I was wondering if you tell us or rant about coffee or caffeine? Does it matter if its part of our nutrition? Or is it just plain bad? I've watching a bunch of your nutrition videos and I don't think I've ever heard you comment about it. Correct me if i'm wrong but, I'm going to assume that you don't start your day with a cup of coffee since you said wake up and drink 2 cups of water. Maybe I just need hear it from you - Stop drinking coffee idiot! its killing your gains! - or how ever you want to word it. Thx coach!

I friggin' love you, man! You've been a name at my house since my son started working your program a few years back, then got me to work your women's program, and now my husband is a Jeff Cavaliere devotee! Every morning at 4. 30 he's down in the basement working out. We're both just shy of 50. Hubby loves your rants about food. I just love looking at you, he he. JK, but not really. I love the fact that you are a physical therapist, so you really know your anatomy (and nutrition as well.

I also hate it when people say -I want to lose weight, -. No you don't want to lose weight you want to lose body fat. If you train your muscles, train your abs and burn of fat then you won't lose much weight, this is because muscle weighs a lot more than fat. I'm classed as overweight but have six pack abs and huge muscles, am I gonna start trying to lose weight just cos I'm classed as -overweight-, no of course not, cos that would mean losing my gains

Can you make a video on how to do all those things? Make a lifestyle change, do the right kinds of activity? I'm 100% new to this and 1000% tired of not only being almost 300lb but feeling winded after a short walk when I used to walk everywhere, or having stress plus weight cause physical pain and issues with my body. I don't know where to start or how to effectively change and no one seems to have an answer. Not even my doctor.

Like i totally agree
If someone asks u, -how do I stay healthy-?
You can't just say -diet and exercise- because -diet- is an unpredictable word - it's not specific enough. A diet can be bad and that person might think of having a bad diet. It just means eat and intake. But nutrition is the protein that we need to take in. And exercise is also not specific of how we need to live our lives. Some exercise can be bad for you.

Thanks you explained what I-ve been trying to explain to people for years!
When I-m eating my meat and vegetables for example and people say -ooh you on a diet that looks healthy- I-m just like -no I-m just putting in the food which my body needs to FUNCTION! -
People are fussier about the fuel they put in their car or the dog food they give their dog then the food they put in themselves or their children.
