m going to show you how to lose weight without ever having to count calories again. One thing I hear all the time is -how do you stay so lean year round-. People assume you have to eat like a bird or be hunched over a scale calculating every crumb you put onto your plate. The reality of the situation couldn-t be any further from that. I don-t really give nutrition that much thought anymore because I-ve been using the same effective approach for the past decade and it has allowed me to stay lean and ripped year in and year out for over 20 years now. One of the reasons people get nutrition wrong is that they are overwhelmed by choices. Low carb, low fat, Keto, IF, IIFYM, the carnivore diet. Which is the best? What about calories in / calories out? Just measuring everything and entering it into an app? Where do you start? Which one works-and which one works the fastest? The truth is, they all -work-. From a purely scientific perspective they-re all accomplishing the same goal, limiting the amount of calories that you consume. They-re just doing it different ways. The problem creeps in when you-re stuck with an eating plan that doesn-t really fit your lifestyle for the long term and you end up abandoning it for your old, unhealthy way of eating. You know, the one which got you out of shape in the first place. I realize that there are people who choose to do specific diet plans because of potential health benefits that they might enjoy. For example, some people who suffer from inflammation have reported having relief with a Ketogenic approach. If your meal plan is meeting your personal needs and your health goals; it-s fine with me. More power to you. I-m not trying to convert people to my way of eating. For the majority of people out there however, they just want to look good, get leaner and maybe even carve out a six pack. For them, no matter what they do they often end up right back to where they started from often with an additional few extra pounds. If that-s you, you should give my easy to follow approach a try. It-s worked for me and it-s what I have all of my pro athletes doing. To start I divide my plate into thirds and dedicate a full third to my preferred protein. The remainder of the plate is divided up again for carbs with twice as many fibrous carbs occupying space compared to starchy carbs. For an example of this, be sure and

A good friend of mine introduced me to Jeff like two years ago. My friend is a fitness fanatic and I wanted to spend quality time w him so we binge watched a lot of Jeff's videos. I learned a lot ab lifting, cutting, and also how building muscle is pretty good for women. I'm back now because I'm at my worst and watching these videos give me some comfort & hope. A lot of the problem is just what you said: starchy carbs are so satiating but not satisfying. I never knew how much I craved them up until the pandemic started. I'm going to take this more seriously & follow this approach to eating. My brain is too fizzed out half the time to do calorie counting so this is perfect. Wish me luck guys, and I wish all the luck (dedication & progress) to y'all.

make it simple and easy and within a year you will lose weight. think a year ago (if you had too much body fat. same. or maybe worse now? what if you adopted this easy plan: lose 1/2 a week; feels slow but you wouldve lost over 20 lbs at least. the best time to start something (generally) was the past. 2nd best time is now. all cliche, but theres a reason things like this are said so much. maybe weve become numb to the common knowledge. make it simple so you can stick to:
eating less calories
eating better
moving more
preserving lean mass
and you will stay on it.

Okay I get the idea for distributing macros across a single plate. But how do we understand how many plates to eat without calorie counting. I'm trying to lose fat without losing much muscle. For this I need to be in a slight caloric deficit, but not too much or it will affect my muscle growth. Does anybody have a solution to this?
I love this approach because of its simplicity, but I wanted to know how to decide how many plates to eat without calorie counting

I'm 183cm/ 81kg/ avg build. I've lived in an East Asian country with a very different food culture from the US. I'm trying to cut doing like Jeff recommends with meals in his videos, and this requires me to break the habits encouraged by the food culture I'm in (e. g. heaps of fried food, mountainous bowls of white rice, fatty pork and beef. The issue is that I have a very busy schedule and cannot be bothered to waste time counting calories. Any advice helps.

But do I have to cut out food or replace them with a healthier option?
And btw thank u this helped me so much, I-ve tried so many different diets, starved my self and always had my calorie counter with me and now I-m sick of this thing, I-ve tried to count calories few days ago but failed bc it-s stressing me out and let-s me feel like over restricted with food, and at the end ended up eating more than I-ve planed to do.

Division on the plate: Fibrous Carbohydrates (Vegetables): 42%; Protein: 33%; Starchy Carbohydrates (ex: Pasta): 25%.
Also, pay attention to the height of each food category. It should not look like huge stacked mountains.
You have to eat food that you like otherwise you won-t be consistent and you-ll give up.
Dietary Consistency depends on the simplicity of the meals. Don-t overcomplicate it.

So do you do this 3x a day? breakfast, lunch, dinner? My daily calorie intake goal is about 2000-2100 per day and I find it very difficult to reach that goal, especially when trying to eat clean foods. Could you do a video on what you typically eat on an average day? Do you also eat the same amount of calories on days where you don't work out?

Another great food idea thats also a good fat burning option is making soup. Soup is very filling because of the liquid density of it. Its like how drinking a lot of water fills you up to but soup actually has calories in it that you need. You can still do the fiber/protein/ and starch ratio in it too.

It's true what he says. The amount of calorie apps I've downloaded, and then in less than a week I've abandoned it. When you've so much else to think about during the average day, the last thing you want is to be micromanaging your food. Gonna give this a try for sure. I'm all for keeping it simple.

I am not counting calories but am counting grams of protein. I've seen a huge disparity in the amount needed to consume since I do go to the gym and lift 6 days a week and at age 41 with my body weight, I've seen anywhere from 102g to 220g which sounds insane. Need tips on this. Thanks.
