I allowed myself to put on more than 40 lbs of fat through three years of lack of daily activity and training. At the same time I ate as if I was digging ditches by hand all day long, and unhealthy food too. The result was not good, or pretty. It has taken me over a year to get rid of the excess weight, partly by diet, partly by cardio, and partly by weight lifting. I did strip my diet down to 800 calories a day, for the first 3 months, then went onto intermittent fasting for another 3 months, and then slowly worked towards a healthy diet matching my current 2700 calories a day diet. We are all different, but I knew myself well enough to know that I needed some fast results, so even if the 800 calorie diet is not sustainable, it did give me the weight loss and the motivation to keep going. I think that is important when we talk about loosing 40 lbs of fat, which is an awful lot of fat. All that said I do agree, finding the right balance between diet and exercise, that you can continue with for the rest of your life, is key to long term success, and also happiness, energy, and a positive mind. If you are really fat as I was I will recommend some drastic measures to get you started, but start aiming for that sweet balance of diet and exercise once you start getting near to your desired target weight and settle into that new lifestyle hopefully forever.

So i'm just doing everything right but in the same time wrong--
I do workout, 5 days a week legs, abs and chest (around 1 hour) but not a program found, i made one that will allow me to exercise (back problems)
Nutrition is my -life-. I eat 1 once a day cuz i'm usually not hungry and when i am it's always between 16: 00-17: 00(only home cooked meals by myself mostly consisting in beans, rice and soup, all of them with legumes and chicken also no bread) and i've been avoiding sugar, sweets and drinks in general, only water, coffee and sometimes kinda once a week icetea.
Also i hate cardio but i love to walk(not a slow walker) and according to my phone i'm doing something like 10km minimum a day without great effort.
I do lose weight, not fast but i'm not in a hurry.
These videos really helped in correcting bad forms and also learning a lot of things i would have never researched.
If anyone had enough patience to read all of this, listen to this guy cuz he'll provide more help then you could ever ask for.

Jeff, I'd like to point out that not all muscle fibers have the same resting metabolic activity. In fact, the fibers with the highest resting metabolic rate are those slow-twitch fibers that are recruited and developed most during endurance training. Additionally, these type 1 (slow twitch) muscles are recruited for everyday activity and therefore account for a large portion of calories burned during daily routine as opposed to type 2 fibers. My issue with how you present this video is that you rightly state that increased muscle mass will increase your BMR, but the primary driver of that are those type 1 fibers. So if your goal is to increase BMR for weight loss reasons, endurance (cardio) training is where you want to look, since that will develop type 1 fibers more than weight training will.

At 57 I-m desperate. In spite of my diet and working with a trainer my waist is still bloated and middle aged and will not budge.
So for the past two weeks I-ve been taking ephedrine and barely eating anything and it finally starting to flatten. I have a Luerto Vallarta vacation in April and need to get my belly from a 44 down to a 34 in 15 weeks. I-m probably sacrificing some gains and I-m trying to keep the protein up but I don-t want to be fat middle aged daddy bear on the gay beach. I want to have a flat stomach - not a six pack- just flat so my torso will be shaped properly.

I tried to outrun a bad diet, I did tons of fasting and calorie restriction, but still ate like crap while doing the ax1 exercises. I went from 285 lbs to 227 in 5 months, and looked great, but as soon as I went under 245 I was constantly starving, and as soon as I lost the motivation to continue starving all the time 6 months in, I started gaining it back fast, 1 1/2 years later I'm back up to 280. I'm planning on following the ax1 nutrition plan this time around, along with the exercises so that I can get the results (even if it's a bit slower, and keep them this time.

Jeff have to disagree, and exercise bike is the best if you alternate the intensity on it, like in a real world scenario. Do 1k reasonable hard and then go hard until you are burning then wind down to let the heart rate settle and go hard again over x amount of miles. Best for joints, low impact and best long game strategy is an Exercise bike used correctly. Diet I agree, you set out a lifelong strategy and splurge on occasions. And then have a weights routine, with reasonable recuperation to allow the body to repair. Simple really.

I only made one resolution: -I'll never regret what I do and what I don't do. Only learn from them. -
My weight is always changing (+/- 1-5 kgs per month. It's all because of my mental state, all decided in my head. So try to identify your problems, then find solutions and motivation. That way everything will come more naturally. If you still want to know more, keep listening to experts like Jeff.
I've been 97 kgs, 84 kgs, 94 again, now it's just some meaningless data on my way of improving my life.

i can tell anyone this one advice from Jeff regarding dieting made a huge change for me. no more dieting. Eat properly as a lifestyle. I eat all the regular foods i enjoy and i cook all my food and have a whole food diet and i lose weight and put on muscle. I tried all the other nonsense keto, cut off meat, cut off carbs. Nope! Now i eat 3 meals a day, eat all my meat plant foods and occasionally eat out and buy junk food and i'm still losing weight.

Not sure about this video! My girlfriend weight almost 90 kg after the time giving birth to our second child and she's now down to 65 after a few months because of a diet, she call it -starving-, and she's slim now compare to earlier. She barely work-out and she doesn't count calories, but she skip meals. We even had Mc Donalds from time to time, but the days she had Mc Donalds she didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Obviously it works for her?

I-ve seen a lot of your videos, especially on nutrition and how to organize your plate. With that in mind, do you suggest to never having pizza or sushi while trying loosing weight? Or ever? Idk how you-d organize your plate with those. and I know you-ve mentioned that sushi is not great for you, so never eat them? And just find something that more healthy like real crab meat and no rice?
Thanks Jeff!
