The Best Way to Lose 5 LBS of Body Fat (AND FASTEST)

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

The best way to lose 5 pounds of body fat is a question that I get almost every day. People want to know if burpees are the best exercise for getting the job done. Others want to know if battle ropes or even jump rope are better at burning calories and burning fat. While all of them are at the top of the list for the most calories burned on a minute per minute basis, they still are not the best way to lose five pounds of body fat the fastest. In this video, I show you how you can never outtrain a bad diet. If you refuse to pay attention to the quality of your nutrition and the foods you put in your mouth you are never going to have the low levels of body fat that you desire long term. Sure, anyone can follow a short term diet that allows them to lose fat for a few weeks however if you can-t keep it up then you will never be satisfied with your body fat levels over the course of the year. Mistakenly, people look to exercises as the best way to drop body fat. While you definitely need to train, achieving fat loss is and always will be better accomplished via the right nutrition plan. This goes back to the comment about never being able to outtrain a bad diet. You simply cannot make up enough calorie burn via exercise (even the most intense) to overcome bad food choices. For instance, our very own Jesse is a big sugar fanatic and a worshiper of gummy bears. Just 17 measly gummy bears has 150 calories. Even if Jesse were to do 10 minutes straight of high effort high intensity burpees, he would only burn 120 calories and he would lose that battle with a net calorie gain of 30. Now Jesse, being a hardgainer, is not concerned at the moment with his body fat levels. He was the only one wiling to do the burpees while I talked during the video being the good sport that he is. If you are looking to burn 5 lbs of fat however, you need to be sure that you are paying attention to what really matters. Your nutrition will always be at the top of the priority list for getting that job done. Now, does that mean that conditioning exercises like burpees, jump rope, battle ropes and split squat jumps don-t have a place in your workout program if you need to lose fat? Not at all. In fact, with a good nutrition approach in place these exercises become even more effective since they compliment the losses that you are already making because of your improved diet. Not just that, each of these exercises helps to improve your stamina, work capacity, endurance, power endurance and your heart. If you are looking for a way to improve your nutrition and get it locked in almost effortlessly 365 days a year, then head to and get one of the ATHLEAN-X Training Systems that best fits your goals. If pure fat loss is at the top of your list then you should opt for Max Shred. If, like Jesse, muscle gain is your priority but you don-t want to gain fat in the process then look for the Max Size program

Try kiteboarding! I can eat 3 shawarmas per day and 5 beers and still loose fat! I'm the laziest bastard out there, but in the summer I always get ripped. Plus I never even realize I'm working out! I just have fun and the byproduct is getting ripped.
But as soon as the cold starts I stop kiting and I start watching these type of videos and get really disappointed when I see how much effort I need to put in to lose fat. Working out just for the sake of losing fat, seems to me infinitely boring and masochistic.
I need to move to a hot and windy place for winter cause working out sucks.
I am a fan of athleanX though. Especially for repairing stuff. bad shoulders, bad back. etc.
Keep it up and thanx for your excellent videos! --

If you want quick fat loss then you gotta stop eating carbohydrates all together, I know Jeff hates the idea of that and obviously it should not be something to do for long term, but it is the secret to fat loss.
Your body cannot, CANNOT burn stored fat if it's busy burning carbohydrates. It's simple science. I lost almost 30lb in a month on a near 0 carb diet with the occasional shot of orange juice with breakfast. Working out consistently, fasting 1 day of the week, and doing intermittent fasting/OMAD can also yield much better results, but obviously add a lot of challenge.

I can personally vouch for this, managed to lose around 40 lbs in 4 months after i cut out empty carbs, sugar and alcohol with some added daily cardio.
I don't specifically follow a plan (even tho i probably should, i just try to eat more veggies and lean meat and if i get that late night snack urge, i just down some water instead.
I do allow myself one cheat day per month. but that equates to me getting 6 pieces of sushi, not a bag o chips and a gallon of cola: P

The real thing to do along with working out. Is cutting your diet and counting your calories. Also if it's losing weight you really want instead of getting stronger. Cardio and cutting how much you eat, not what you eat. You can eat a cheeseburger and be completely fine, now eating 2 3 or 4 cheeseburgers in one sitting, then obviously that's unhealthy. In moderation things can be healthy. Mixed in with cardio. Specifically running/jogging even hiking. Especially swimming

Many years ago when I was in my early 20s I did heavy resistance training for about 6 hours per week (4x1. 5h. I was in good shape. The only trouble was with a fish and chip shop next door to my gym I rarely controlled myself and had a big of chips. I never did get that 6 pack. 10 years later I switched up to 45 mins of cardio a day, but I was drinking a good 1000 calories of alchohol a day. I never got the 6 pack then either.

Everything Jeff is saying is accurate. Solid nutrition is for weight loss. Exercise is for conditioning. You could not move a finger in exercise but rip pound after pound off your body on solid nutrition (not dieting but a wholesale lifestyle change) alone. Exercise is for conditioning the body, which will make it more efficient and enhance the body-s ability to lose weight, but is not the key to weight loss.

I don't believe the whole diet thing. I was 225lbs eating burger king and McDonald's a ton! I drove for UPS for 5-6 months still eating the same. My wife would even bring me two whoppers with cheese and bacon everyday for lunch and I got down to 189lbs! I get that I was burning more calories than I was taking in but other than that, I didn't change anything.

I've noticed my waist getting more fat since I last my left leg (amputation. I wish i could still do the split squat jump. it's pretty damn hard with a prosthetic. Burpee is still OK, but damn that's rough on my remaining knee. I need to get a new battle rope.
