What not to do when losing weight Part 2

What is going on Eye of Warriors? So this is another video telling us three things not to do when losing weight and this gentleman lost 100 pounds and he's going to tell us what you know what not to do so let's take a look at it let's see if uh if it's in line with the scientific data the scientific research that we currently have um yeah let's go ahead and watch it let's go ahead I lost 100 pounds and these are three things not to do when losing weight number one don't use sweatbands or waste I actually didn't watch this one um yeah yeah uh stop doing that like stop like this is this is the the the illusion that gets created by putting that by wrapping your stomach up you really think that you know something's going on because when you take it out that when you when you remove it you feel like you squeeze the fat out like your body's like forcing like you force your stomach to be like okay fine I don't have fat anymore I'm gonna I gotta I gotta go suck myself it like it just it doesn't work like that you cannot spot reduce a body fat you just can't you can't spot reduce belly fat and the unfortunate thing is that we have beta fat cells and alpha fat cells and your belly region tends to have more beta than alpha fat cells and beta fat cells those adipocytes are much more stubborn to release fat so usually the stomach is the toughest part um when it comes to uh losing body fat usually you're losing body fat all over your body and your stomach but not as the as a quick rate not as a not as quickly as you are losing it like in your face or your arms or your chest or whatever uh so this is definitely something where uh I 100% agree stop doing things that you think will actually target belly fat because really nothing nothing targets belly fat nothing the only way you can target belly fat is by literally just losing weight consistently and eventually your belly fat will also go down when there's not much to pull from from the from other parts of your body waist trainers to lose weight they do not lose weight or target fat they just cut down water weight through sweating this is extremely temporary and you're not actually losing the fat it can also make your workouts harder and cause irritation number two don't use slim and detox teas they just make you use the bathroom a lot and your naturally detox yeah those are just laxatives that's all it is and when you use laxatives what's happening is that you are releasing a lot of water you're becoming very dehydrated too at the same time but you're not losing fat this is the problem this is why I I can't stand the the idolization of the number on the scale you don't want to lose weight you want to lose body fat stop wanting to lose weight you want to lose body fat that's what matters I've always said I always use this analogy and I'm using it right now I can literally cut your leg off right now and you will lose about 10 pounds is that the 10 pounds maybe 5 pounds who knows is that do you want to just lose 5 pounds like that let me cut your leg off but you don't want me to cut your leg off because that's not the weight that you're trying to remove right okay so you're not trying to lose muscle you're not just trying to be dehydrated and release all your water and just lose water weight at all times you're also trying you're not also you are specifically trying to lose body fat but you're idolizing whatever that number says and you don't even care where it comes from when in reality you should because you actually want body fat to be burned so it's on its own sometimes it can even do harm to your body and cause you to be dehydrated also it's used by a lot of weight loss scammers lastly don't over restrict when eating during weight loss you can eat whatever you want in moderation this is especially true when you're eating in a caloric deficit focusing more on eating what you want will help you be more consistent and prevent binges I do agree with this um I like to eat the things that I want right I increase protein but I like eating protein so I like to eat the things that I like but I just control you know for whatever the calorie is so if I'm gonna eat a meal that's 2500 calories I'm gonna make sure you know I get the things that I like I can put it in and sometimes I smash things together so that and I have a bunch of videos of what I eat like I put them up on my channel but I like to smash things together so that you know I get like this feeling of like I ate these foods that I like and I know what you know I know where I am in terms of the calories I know that I didn't overeat so you feel good about that and when you see the scale you go down and that you're you're the way your clothes fit on your body which that's a really important metric that you can use the way your clothes fit you feel good and you know that it works and you know that science is still science and I 100 percent agree with this system because it it breeds longevity it breeds consistency if you're if you're if you feel like you can't eat something you're gonna break at one point your willpower is gonna be short so you don't want to add so many layers to your willpower you already have to eat at a caloric deficit which can which can kind of poke at your willpower now you're trying to eat at a caloric deficit and remove a food group and remove the foods that you enjoy you gotta control that's why one thing I always tell people that they're they're about to go into intermittent fasting sometimes they're like I'm gonna go into intermittent fasting and do keto and I'm gonna do the I'm like hold up hold up hold up I don't mind that you do keto or do intermittent fasting I don't mind that but don't do both of those things at the same time you're gonna for the first time change your eating pattern and then you're also going to remove an entire macronutrient essentially almost it's it's gonna be very very difficult for you to pull off um and and stay consistent with it try to find something that works but that that's healthy but you can do it for a long time that's what's gonna help you I hope these help on your journey all right um thank you so much DJ Sturgis I agree with everything he said and yes those kind of things are out there waist trainers and stuff like that uh those things are a thing that people do you know and detox teas like I don't even know why how that even got popular but there's a lot of people that's impressionable out there when they're trying to lose weight and they they just want to be successful with it and I completely understand that's literally why my channel was built um but don't do any of those things you don't need to do them you can try intermittent fasting if you haven't um but basically a caloric deficit will assist you and try to not to like he said remove foods that you like just eat them in moderation all right guys until the next one peace out
