Yoel talks about if how you should have a plan inside and outside the gym. And if you actually need to workout to lose weight? Having a plan outside the gym leads to results. Last few days, I have been explaining the concept of NEAT and the importance on making small changes outside the gym. We know the fundamentals of fat loss is being in a calorie deficit. If you goal is fat loss, workouts will help trying to achieve CD, but it will be challenging without a plan outside the workout time. When you are consistent with the gym workouts, amazing! Now add being consistent with your steps & nutrition. That’s where the results happen! Stay consistent. Have a plan. Celebrate the wins. Focus on getting stronger & fitter. Focus on finding a suitable plan for you outside the gym Focus on feeling mentally stronger. Physical changes will happen!

How to get abs. Why are you doing AB workouts? If you think abs workouts will help with fat loss, read this caption. I love ab workouts. This is not saying DON’T DO THEM. I want you asking yourself, why are you doing them? What’s the benefit for you doing them? I think they are great! I’ve been doing ab workouts for many years. I’ll be honest. Years ago, I did them because I wanted ABS (SHOCK). When I spent more time on workouts, doing ab workout everyday and not focussing on nutrition and lifestyle I was trying so hard to get abs and never did. When I focused on being in a calorie deficit and not so much on doing ab workouts every day. Abs ✅ Now I’ll do them because it helps with my core strength But I’m here to tell you the truth, the only way you will get abs is dropping your overall body fat % That’s by being in a calorie deficit. That means you can still do your ab workouts and get abs, only if you are in a calorie deficit over a period of time.  So when you see influencers selling get abs in 2 week programs? Yeh that’s a lie.

Based on this logic, a cheat meal is having foods you would not usually consume which is higher in calories. So does that make FND a cheat meal? Every single shabbat a cheat day? Because it will have more calories than a Pizza or chips.  Cheat meals are scheduled meals that include indulgent foods that wouldn't ordinarily be permitted on your diet. A cheat day is when you allow yourself to consume any foods you want over an entire day. Leads to negative thinking. Speaking from professional and personal experience with cheat meals, having had varying degrees of success over the years, they can be very tempting, but often lead to fluctuations in energy levels, gastro-intestinal issues and overeating! If you are not an athlete, if you feel like you need a cheat meal, you are following the wrong plan.
