1
If you're skinny fat right now, no upper body definition, visible love handles, and don't know whether you should bulk or cut, I wasted 6 months making every mistake possible so you don't have to.
2
This was me when I was skinny fat, and this is what happened to me when I stopped listening to what the fitness industry told me.
3
Everything you've been told about fixing a skinny fat body, eat big to get big, prioritize protein and workout every single day, is either wrong, incomplete, or ruining your progress.
4
In this video, I'm going to show you what kind of mistakes I made, why the normal approach is wrong, use to fix it.
5
Diet, training, sleep, and the psychological layer that no one talks about.
6
But before I show you what actually fixes it, I need to explain why the standard advice that you have been following is making things worse.
7
When I was skinny fat, I followed exactly what the fitness industry told me and it completely ruined my physique.
8
The first mistake I believed in is following the traditional bulk then cut approach.
9
You hear things like eat big to get big, eat six meals a day, and put whatever food that you see in your mouth.
10
But doing that didn't just give me gain fat.
11
When you bulk incorrectly, two things can happen.
12
You can gain muscle, but you will gain lots of fat.
13
And for someone who has a skinny fat physique, bulking is one of the worst things that you can do.
14
It's a huge mistake that many beginners make, including myself.
15
This mistake usually comes from another problem, not doing the proper research of your diet and workouts.
16
Like I said, I literally just ate whatever I wanted.
17
And when it came to the gym, I thought simply showing up would just with the wrong plan.
18
I was doing the wrong exercises with the wrong intensity.
19
I also prioritized my diet over my training when in reality you should prioritize both.
20
Trying to fix a skinny fat physique without understanding will make you have harder progress to achieve.
21
Once you actually know how to structure your diet and your workouts, that's when you actually see progress.
22
The third mistake I made was eating a lot of protein but barely any carbs.
23
Almost every day I was eating 150 to 200 grams of protein every single day.
24
I did this because I thought protein macronutrient that builds muscle.
25
And while protein is important for repairing your muscle cells, I was eating way more than needed.
26
At the same time, I wasn't prioritizing carbohydrates.
27
Carbs are just as important as they fuel your workouts supporting muscle growth.
28
Since I wasn't eating enough carbs, my performance in the gym suffered.
29
And the reason I made these mistakes was simple.
30
I didn't know how to track my calories, my macronutrients, and my nutrients.
31
And all these mistakes taught me something important.
32
The reason most people are skinny enough.
33
It's because they don't actually understand what causes a skinny fat physique in the first place.
34
So let's diagnose the real problem.
35
An average skinny fat physique usually has little to no muscle definition with a higher body fat percentage.
36
Because of that, you have a lack of muscle mass and visible fat stores in your body, also known as love handles.
37
Inside those love handles, there are actually two types of fat found in the body.
38
There's subcutaneous fat, the fat
39
higher amounts of visceral fat that means
40
that you have a lot of fat near your stomach area
41
and it's actually considered one of the most dangerous types
42
because it's associated with many health diseases one of the main
43
causes of visceral fat stores is a sedentary lifestyle with a poor diet even
44
if you're not overeating barely moving throughout the day
45
or having little to no exercises will lead to fat accumulation over the course of years this slowly adds up
46
and the fat this problem.
47
If most of the foods that you're eating are junk or unhealthy, you're not getting the proper macro and micronutrients for your body.
48
When your nutrition is unbalanced like this, you will make fat accumulation more prevalent.
49
Another common cause happens when people do the wrong exercises for fixing a skinny fat physique.
50
A lot of people rely on large amounts of cardio with little to no resistance training.
51
Especially when someone spends a lot of time on doing it long periods.
52
Yes, cardio can help you lose weight, but without any resistance training, you are going to lose muscle and fat at the same time.
53
This happens because long duration cardio is often catabolic, meaning that it breaks down tissues in your body, including muscle, for energy.
54
And if you're not doing some sort of resistance training, you are not creating enough stimulus for muscle growth.
55
A good example of this are long distance runners.
56
They spend most of their time running and even if they're not skinny fat, they have little to no muscle definition.
57
skinny fat physique often has little to no muscle definition.
58
But learning the causes and the mistakes of a skinny fat physique doesn't mean it's over.
59
In fact, facing the truth is what allowed you to fix it and stay lean all year round.
60
And I did that by following the right information, instead of the quick solutions that the fitness industry tries to push.
61
Before we get into the specifics, you need to understand what your goal should be.
62
If you're skinny fat, your objective is to build muscle and to lose or minimize body fat.
63
With your diet, please do not bulk.
64
I will say again, please do not bulk.
65
Like I said, bulking doesn't guarantee muscle gain.
66
If you bulk as a skinny fat person, you're just going to gain more fat.
67
You shouldn't cut right off the bat either.
68
Because even if you lose the fat, you'll probably just end up looking skinny.
69
Instead, stick to your maintenance calories and focus on body recomposition.
70
Body recomposition essentially means that you're building muscle and losing fat at the same time.
71
Now, it can be hard whenever you're actually fitness pile using a food scale.
72
And if you want to find your maintenance calories, comment shreds and I'll give you a free website that calculates it.
73
Besides your calories, we need to know what type of foods that you're eating.
74
If most of your diet is junk food, replace it with whole foods.
75
If you like eating McDonald's every day, just switch to a healthier version at home.
76
If you like eating ice cream, get a low calorie version of it.
77
But this doesn't mean that you should eat restrictively.
78
The more you completely avoid certain foods, the more you crave them.
79
So follow foods and 20 % should be flexible foods.
80
With your 80 to 20 rule, let's talk about your macronutrients.
81
For body recomposition, a solid baseline is 0 .7 to 0 .8 grams of protein per of your body weight, 0 .3 to 0 .5 grams of fats per body weight,
82
and the rest of your calories just should come from carbs.
83
So if you weigh 150 pounds, that would be around 105 grams of protein,
84
60 grams of fat, and around of people push the idea you need one gram,
85
but it's just too excessive.
86
If you prioritize carbs as well, your workouts will improve.
87
Now, speaking about your workouts, here is what you should do.
88
Follow a split that hits each muscle group twice per week.
89
Full body, upper lower, or upper lower pushable legs are great splits.
90
If you heard about bro splits, I wouldn't recommend them.
91
Training your muscles two times a week is way much better than training them one time per week.
92
Inside your training, your main focus should be progressing on your exercises with high intensity.
93
The gym is what stimulates muscle growth
94
but what actually causes muscle growth is mechanical tension meaning gradually increasing the force your muscles use over time.
95
To do that focus on low volume high intensity training.
96
For compounds aim for two sets of four to eight reps
97
and for your isolations aim for two to three sets of six to twelve reps.
98
To maximize intensity in the gym carbs before your workout matter.
99
Your muscles rely on stored carbohydrates for energy and meal and just have a meal after.
100
That could look like rice, potatoes, and chicken thighs before your workout and steak, asparagus, and potatoes after.
101
Not only does this improve performance but can actually help with insulin sensitivity.
102
Being active after meals helps your body to reduce your blood sugar and use glucose effectively for energy.
103
And lastly, let's talk about your sleep.
104
This is one of the most overlooked factors and it can make a huge difference.
105
Sleeping less than seven hours per night can diminish your gym performance.
106
When performance drops, you get a for muscle growth and fat accumulation can increase.
107
Lack of sleep also disrupts your hunger hormones, increasing your appetite and spiking your cortisol, your stress hormone.
108
So try to sleep and wake up at the same time every single day.
109
Remove things that distract you from sleeping like your phone or eating one hour to two hours before bed.
110
Aim for seven to eight hours of quality sleep per night
111
and you're going to put yourself in the best position for building muscle and losing fat.
112
Okay, if you follow everything I talked about, your calories, workout, sleep, you will fix your But here's a reality that most people don't talk about.
113
A lot of skinny fat people already know what to do and the problem isn't just their diet or their workouts.
114
The real problem is why you keep going to the old habits that made your physique in the first place.
115
Because there's another deep psychological layer that no one talks about.
116
You might not be stuck because of the food you eat.
117
You're stuck because there's something in your mind controlling your behavior.
118
And that behavior often leads to eating for comfort.
119
Your eating habits are often just following old instructions.
120
you as well.
121
I remember looking myself in the mirror thinking that I was a failure
122
and I just wanted to give up in my diet and my workouts.
123
I would skip the gym, I didn't eat clean, and I just didn't try.
124
If you felt this before, I understand where you're coming from, but staying in this mentality will not reach where you want to be.
125
So instead of constantly having negative thoughts or emotions about your physique, find the right questions to answer.
126
Why does a person I want to become eat and train the way he does?
127
How can I become the best version of myself physically?
128
even will shape the actions that you will take.
129
You can eat well, train hard in the gym, and sleep well but that doesn't mean anything if you're not staying consistent with it.
130
What really matters is finding value in those habits and the ability to stick to them consistently.
131
It will be a long and difficult journey but you need to remember
132
that you're the only person that can change who you are right now.
133
Stay positive, stay active, and just stay consistent.
134
And if you want to hear how I personally went through this and changed my physique, watch this video where I break down need it.
135
Thank you for watching, have a great day.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
