- All right, guys.
Hey, good morning. This is Noel from DailyMuscle
and I'm so glad you're tuning in.
Thank you for watching all the previous episodes
and sending all your questions in.
It really means a lot, all the comments
and all the things you say.
And you know what?
I just really love doing these videos
and I'm going to keep doing them
one video every day.
The best way to find out is just really to
stay tuned on my social media,
@dailymuscle here at Instagram
especially who has a lot of action taking place
and if you saw what I posted yesterday
on my Instagram, you have exactly
an idea of what I'm talking about.
So, today, I wanna talk to you about
how to lose weight, right?
We like to assume, a lot of trainers out there think
that people know how to lose weight
but the more and more I work with people,
I've come to realize that
yeah we know we need to eat healthy,
we know we gotta eat less fried stuff,
and cut out all the sugary treats
and the candy and all that stuff.
And we know we need to start working out,
we need to start exercising,
we need to take better care of ourselves,
but that's really about it.
So we kinda like flying blind
when you don't really know what is it
that you need to change in order to cause
weight loss to happen in your body.
So today I just want to run through
a very simple concept
and once you grasp this concept,
you will always, always understand
and know a very fundamental law
that doesn't change when it comes to weight loss.
And when I say weight loss,
I do mean fat loss.
It's just when I say weight loss,
people tend to pay more attention.
When you say fat loss, some people say
oh I don't wanna lose fat,
I just want the scale to go down,
and there's all these mixed ideas.
But when we say weight loss,
what we really want,
although you may not realize that's what you want,
what you're really meaning is fat loss
because you don't wanna lose muscle,
you wanna lose fat, okay?
So, I wanted to see this little diagram here.
It's what we call energy balance.
So you see, when you eat a certain amount of food,
your body needs a certain amount of calories
to function every day.
And it really depends on the individual.
Some people need maybe 1,800.
Some construction worker could need like, wow, 2,500.
It really depends.
It can be calculated to roughly give you an estimate
but basically if the amount of food that you eat,
and this can come from fruits, from vegetables,
from your rice, from your breads,
to your chicken to whatever,
if it's the same amount of calories coming in
and energy coming in,
if that equals to the same amount of calories
that you expend.
And when you expend, I don't mean just by working out,
just by you living and existing,
right now you're burning calories.
When you're sleeping, you're burning calories.
You can just sit there and watching TV
and you're burning calories.
But it's usually not enough. You wanna be active.
So when the energy that comes in,
comes in the form of calories, right?
Whatever you drink, whatever you eat.
And the energy that goes out,
which is you moving and walking
and even sleeping,
if that's at a balance, then you're not gonna gain weight,
and you're not gonna lose weight.
So if you are someone right now
who has maintained your steady weight.
Let's say you've been 65kgs for the past one year,
then you are pretty much at an energy balance state.
Now problem happens when,
let's say we come out of college
and our university and then we start work
and then you're not as active as you used to be
when you were a student.
Or let's say you change, you shift homes
or you shift jobs
and now you have a new environment
where you're drinking more coffee
because there's a Starbucks just right downstairs
where previously there wasn't.
Whatever it may be.
So if let's say now that equation changes,
and your calories that you're consuming now
because of that extra cup of coffee per day.
Or let's say that you read in a magazine
that fruits are great for you, and they are,
but then you start to overeat the fruits
because you love them so much,
they're so sweet and juicy,
and last time you didn't used to have these fruits
but now you do.
So what happens when your activity level doesn't change,
you have the same routine.
Even if, let's say, you're working out,
you have the same three workouts per week,
but when the amount of food you eat increases, guess what?
You gain weight because the excess energy,
your body doesn't now what to do with it.
You have extra fuel is gonna put it in the bank
and that bank is your body.
It could be in your belly area,
it could be in your chest,
it could be in your face,
it could be in your butt.
It's just out of our control where the body stores it.
Okay? So that's how weight gain happens.
So now, here's the thing, how do we lose weight?
You should know the answer by now.
It's just a reverse of that, okay?
So when you consume less calories,
and you burn more energy.
You burn all those calories that you're consuming,
when you're moving around more,
you're more active, then all those calories
that you're consuming, you're going to lose weight.
So here's the thing:
Technically speaking, you can just sit there
and start eating less and your weight will go down.
But, that's not a healthy way to do it
and you're probably gonna lose a lot of muscle
when all you do is just diet
and you consume less calories
and you don't move more, right?
So the best approach, and we all know this,
is to do two things:
Number one, you wanna start moving more
and when I say moving more,
I mean you wanna do strength training.
Strength training is important.
So just don't start just doing walks
or go for a jog, although that's a great start.
But if you really wanna maximize
the fat loss that happens in your body
and if you really wanna look like
a better version of yourself,
I tell all my members as well,
that the goal of fat loss shouldn't be
just to become a smaller version of yourself.
It should become a good-looking
smaller version of yourself.
So how do you become a good-looking
smaller version of yourself?
Number one, you need to consume enough protein.
Number two, you need to strength train.
You need to give your body a reason
to hold onto your muscles
because if all you did was just diet
and cardio, cardio, cardio
and run and run and run and run and run all day,
without using all the muscles in your body,
your body is gonna think that hmm,
I don't need all these muscles here, here, here,
let's give them up, instead of letting go of the fat.
So what's gonna happen is
you're gonna shrink, you're gonna lose muscle tissue,
which is so precious, especially as you get older,
you don't wanna lose muscle tissue,
you need it so, so badly, right?
So, that's why strength training is important.
You gotta work with some weight.
Look at the people right behind,
they are working hard on a public holiday.
That's what you need to do.
So strength training and a small drop in your calories.
Of course, you can go on way deeper
and look at how much protein should it be,
how much carbohydrates,
but that's just really next level.
If you're out there and you wanna start,
and if you're clueless
and you don't know what you need to do,
just to start losing weight,
just think about two things:
How can you reduce the amount of food you eat,
and are you eating too much?
Well if your weight is going up now consistently,
then that means you're eating too much.
So look at what you can reduce,
and when it comes to working out, start something.
It can be 20 minutes three times per week.
If you're starting something,
you're gonna be burning more and using more energy, okay?
So you just wanna tip the balance
to make sure you're burning more energy
and fuel that is stored in your body
than what you're consuming.
And here's the thing, you're not gonna
see results over night.
You're not gonna see the scale go down,
in fact throw the scale away.
But that's a video for a different day, okay?
But can I just encourage you to
be patient, you did not gain all this weight overnight.
Right?
Some of us are 10, 15, 20 kilos heavier today
because it was an accumulation, slow accumulation
of little things we were eating over the years.
So it's only fair that you give yourself
a good amount of time.
At least a few months before you decide
to give up and tell yourself that this doesn't work
because trust me, controlling what you eat
and increasing your activity levels does work.
It's proven.
It hasn't changed for the past hundreds of years.
Nothing has changed, okay?
So, that's it. It's just simple.
Just understand that and then once you start losing weight
and you wanna see more progress,
then you can learn more.
Then you can dig deeper.
Then you can look deeper into balancing out
your diet.
But if you're right there sitting now
and thinking that you don't get
the whole weight loss thing, trust me.
It's super simple as I've just explained to you, okay?
The one thing you need to promise me you're gonna do
is to start.
Don't just read this, don't just watch this video
and think about it
and then say you're gonna start tomorrow
because then it just remains as a good idea.
You wanna take action because action takers
rule the world, all right?
So, thank you so much for watching this video.
Comment below if you have any questions.
I'd love to answer your questions
and like I said, if you haven't seen
all the action and drama that's going on
in my Instagram posts
about the comparison of the amount of sugar,
okay? Just head over there.
People are getting really upset
because they think that that was the wrong thing to post
but I don't think it's the wrong thing to post
because people need to be aware
that sugar exists in your frappuccino,
in your candy bar, and even in your fruit, okay?
So that's it.
Head over to my Instagram here, it's right here.
There you go, it's right here.
@dailymuscle.
And I'd love to see you there.
Ask me questions there, I reply every single
message that I get.
Happy to help.
Have a great day, guys.
See ya at the next video tomorrow.
