What is going on? I have warriors. So today we're gonna look at this woman here Maddie Coulson. Um, I
don't
typically like
Cursing on my channel. I think she curses it. I watched it, but I don't remember exactly how much many times
anyways, I like to keep a family friendly friendly, that's just me, but
She's gonna talk about what not to do when losing weight and we'll discuss if she is
Correct, or if she's off like let's let's watch and let's see. Here we go
Just jump right into it. All right
I went from this girl right here to this girl right here and it took way too long
Because I followed such bad advice when I got started
So I'm going to tell you what not to do if you're trying to go from someone who is
Go the first thing that you will not do is eat 1,200 calories a day that advice is fucked
Already
So, okay. She's she's saying, um, do not eat 12 calories a day. I
100% I
Agree with this. I I don't agree with being so low calorie
Because with that low calorie is going to come a lot of nutrient deficiencies. I
Mean, you're not gonna get much with
1,200 calories you need to find out what your total daily energy expenditure
Numbers are go on Google put TD e calculator get that number which is gonna tell you
Everything in terms of all your energy expenditure. You give it your height your your your weight
Your activity level it'll tell you a rough estimate
It's all rough estimates and then from that number chop off some of chopped
500 calories or 600 calories off of that number because you need to ensure that you are at a
safe
spot to lose weight efficiently and
Consistently and make sure that you're getting enough nutrition when you are doing going through your weight loss journey
so this I I
Will do agree with her on it is outdated and it is not going to get you the body and it's not gonna make
you feel the way that you want and most people do this 1,200 calorie a day thing because you are trying to get there the
Fastest way possible instead of the most efficient way possible. You are ******* yourself. Oh my god
Stop doing that
the second thing you are not going to do is just focus on cardio because all that is going to do is leave you as
A skinny fat version of yourself, which means you're gonna hit your goal weight, but you're gonna have high body fat
Well, I agree with what she's saying and this can be the case where you could be what they say what they call skinny fat
But the real reason why you don't want to just do cardio is
Because which a lot of people do it's like the only mindset that most people have is that they want to lose weight every day
Aggressively that day and it's like they're not thinking about the longevity of weight loss the the mom said that it would take depending on
how much weight you have so when you put it in that perspective and
Realize that muscle is the primary driver for your metabolic rate or not muscle
But lean mass is the primary driver for your metabolic rate, which is like your heart your your lungs your muscle tissue
We can't change the size of our hearts. We can't change the size of our lungs
We can't actively do it
You have some type of you know disease or anything like that and maybe your heart grows or whatever
But we can't actively change those things, right?
So what you can change that's a lean tissue or that's lean mass is muscle tissue
so you could either hold on to it as much as you can or grow it and
She's I think she's about to mention this but body
Recomposition is possible, especially if you are D trained or
Definitely if you've never really gone to the gym or or never really done weight training
You could actually build muscle while losing body fat and it puts your metabolic rate at a much more
Advantageous position for you to be able to keep the weight off
Because you built that lean mass which is the primary driver for your metabolic rate
So muscle tissue to me is probably the best tool in terms of what you could do physically
To have something that's consistently working for you because even though I'm not doing anything right now
The muscle that I've built on my body and the muscle that I'm constantly retaining
is
helping me
Burn calorie more calories than I would if I didn't have it
Right now in this moment as I just sit here talking to you guys
So yes building muscle is is is important because it gives you that longevity factor
It helps you it allows you to have more of a caloric
Deficit simply because all the calorie partitioning a lot of the calories have to go to to fuel your muscle
Not it can't it doesn't it can't just go to store fat
A lot of it has to fuel your muscles that you've been building or retaining
So all of that is is a positive is positive in terms of keeping your metabolic rate up
calorie partitioning the calories that you do consume and
Helping you with losing fat because the more muscle the more calories you burn
Why do I still feel pudgy because you didn't wait train, that's what happened
So what you're gonna do is you are gonna create a small calorie deficit and you are going to strength train
Three to four times a week and you are going to supplement with cardio two to three days a week
That is all you need to do you can lose fat and gain muscle at the same time for the first year of training
Yeah, that's the body. That's what a body recomposition. All right
All right, so I think she's pretty spot-on she's pretty spot-on about what she was saying
I've never seen any of her other videos so I can't vouch for what else she said before
But she is spot-on in in the sense of what you
should avoid when
When losing weight and she's right a lot of people go
Oh, I'm just gonna do cardio cuz I'm just thinking of the everyday calorie
Deficit the everyday calorie deficit
But if I build muscle like I don't want to build muscle because I don't know how that's gonna be how long it is
I don't know how to do it. So I don't know what to what do I work out?
What do I figure that stuff out? It's not rocket science. It's pretty it's pretty
Simple to understand technique and all that stuff. It's is easy to learn
You can learn the technique literally within minutes and then do it
