This is close to what I’ve been doing for the last 3 months. I’ve been eating 1000 calories a day, eating mostly protein (though not to the same level as you were in this video, cut out all alcohol, walking 25, 000 steps, and doing some light resistance training at home. I’ve felt perfectly fine for the entire 3 months.
So far, I’ve lost 55 pounds, cut my BMI from 32. 4 to 24. 2, 9-10 inches off my waistline, and cut my approximate body fat from 37-40% to about 15-18%. I’ve consistently been losing about 3. 5-4 pounds per week.
I still want to lose another 5-8 pounds so I can get rid of a good bit of my remaining subcutaneous belly fat and get my body fat down to the 12-15% range, which should take me another 2 weeks.
My advice is that you can get the same results without going quite as insane with the protein. You can eat some veggies. And make sure you get plenty of fiber. Fiber protein is very filling. I usually ad fiber to my protein shakes and get additional fiber through veggies.

This doesn’t make any sense! Why would you do such a drastic diet when you’re already at 15% bf! The risk of losing proportionally more muscle mass is much greater for a lean individual than for someone with high amounts of body fat.
I’d definitely try going with the 500kcal deficit that Jeremy recommended in the beginning. I currently do the same. Also I currently only track my breakfast, lunch and snacks (i. e. all the meals I eat alone) and I try to be at 1500kcals with that so that I have about 1000kcals for dinner. This way I can eyeball the dinner or also eat out for dinner and chose a healthy option and not be completely antisocial while dieting. In the end it doesn’t matter if I hit 2500kcals perfectly every day. What matters is that I keep losing weight at the desired rate (500g / 1lb per week, because there is no deadline I have to meet. Much more sustainable!

Hi Jeremy! In last year i was diagnosed with IBS. I had to start with strict diet. so strict that i barely could eat anything in my home and w8 until my gf would eat everything to go shopping and i sticked to rice porridge, whey and some pure potato chips and had to eat a LOT of dietary fiber/ My symptoms went off a cliff on second day, my mood improved, strength increased and i was in heaven.
until like you i was struck by truck. I couldn't think in the work, i felt like a drone or smth, just craving for survival. I literally felt like im burning my belly fat and it was showing. It took about week until i started to think, but somehow i regulated my hunger, eated less, my weight stabilized, but unfortunately i stopped to feel so good: D

The reason why you felt a massive energy drop so soon, is because you are already pretty lean. I did a hardcore diet and lost almost 50lbs in 2022, and didn’t feel energy drop until after I lost 40lbs, I had loads of stored body fat to keep my energy high. Once I got very lean, I could just remember staring into space with no brain. I’d look at my wall and just stay there, focusing on my wall.
For the average person wanting to dry this high protein diet, be careful I really think the kidneys need to get use to such high protein and not to stress them out suddenly, for the people who can handle it. drink loads of water to get water in the colon. too much protein you’d be pooping bricks.

no its not, if youre a normal person and not shredded and lean fitness influencer, a while back i lost around 10kg during 2 week long ilness when I just drank a lot of water with electrolites and ate some fruit, my belly got much smaller but I’d say i lost maybe 1/4-1/3 of the belly fat alongside of overall body weight loss, if i was to lose the stubborn bellyfat while healthy i would need to stick to some very strict diet, excercise and it would take months - if 2 weeks of extreme weight loss had this little effect - so whatever is in the video it must apply to very specific grp of people who have very little of belly fat left and are already extremely fit and lean

Day 4 crash: all glycogen reserves you've had are completely exhausted. I'm surprised it wasn't a day earlier.
Since you're eating nothing but lean protein and non-starchy veggies, you've kickstarted ketosis in a rough way. Unless your body's used to this, energy levels will crash and keto-flu symptoms (indluding reduced brain function / fog) can come up. You can partially remedy this with bone broth and/or supplementing electrolytes. (that pickle juice will take care of a fair bit)
Well done, though!

i went on a calorie-deficit diet of 1200/day for 10 weeks, lost 20 lbs so averaging 2/week BUT 25% of that was lean mass AND i incurred more moderate-severe lasting health issues. I would not recommend anyone try a strict diet like this at all, but if they do it should be with the careful monitoring of a team of healthcare professionals.

Random question but why egg white alone Granted it contains more protein than the yolk due to there being more of it, but the yolk is itself denser in protein per gram. You also get more vitamins and minerals in the yolk, so if going for a calorie restricted diet wouldn't you want to hoover up every piece of nutrition available

I started at 30% bf. I went on a plan of three eggs and chicken breasts a day, and lost 14kg across the 14 weeks I stuck to it. When all that fat came off, my metabolism had tanked. I learned to eat my maintenance calories, and create the deficit through various forms of exercise, and remain consistent. I'm now at about 10% bf.

This reminds me of the modified alternate day fasting I've been doing. Basically around 600 calories 3 days a week and around 1200 4 days a week. 30 min exercise of some kind 5 days a week. Been able to get 20lbs down in a couple months, would've been more, but birthdays and a road trip stagnated my progress a bit.

Just cut out carbs/seed oils/plant foods, lower your insulin. No need for calories counting, or starvation, or bulking and cutting. If you just put the right food in the engine, everything will work itself out and body recomp happens without training. Training just boosts it up. It's all about hormones, not calories.

Just did 1500 calories as an experiment, coming off of like 3000 calories. 2 days in I had to quit. First day is good. End of the second day I crashed after eating my second meal, kept waking up after 2 hours, and finally gave in and ate a pb&j at 2am putting me beyond my diet. Still got a headache

Accounting for thermic effect of food doesn't that mean he's actually eating only 800 calories per day! Also wouldn't alternate day fasting be a better approach for this since having 2400 in a day would be more satisfying mentally if you know how to keep hunger controlled during your fasting days

Why not just do three days of eating like this for 2/3weeks and have moderate refeeds.
Or like. 2/3 days of 1. 2k calories, then one day at 2k, and another 2/3 days of 1. 2k calories. wouldn't that be more sustainable than consistently sticking to this restricted diet for 7days

I dont know why Jeremy keeps saying lose belly fat in these videos when you cant spot reduce. He's just losing overall body fat which includes belly fat. Really feel like its a disservice to beginners and novices that don't know any better, which is the majority of his viewers

Is this what they call Keto brain Some proponents of a ketogenic diet swear that your brain runs better on ketones than glucose but not seeing evidence of that in this video. Does it take a while for your brain to transition to a new fuel source Anyone in the chat

What about protein powder and BC AAs That should be added to the diet for nutrition purposes. We don’t contain a ton of calories. and I don’t think you need to only use egg whites. You’re already hardly even food as it is. Might as well use whole eggs.

I wonder how this would work if you did it for a maximum of 3 days a week or even mixing these hard days in between your other days on a regular diet. Would you get the same results over an adjusted time period What would the psychological and retention be like
