Shadowing Practice: getting lean is easy, actually - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Getting lean and ripped is one of the best ways to compensate for a lack of purpose, empathy, responsibility, and self -esteem.
2
And while most people who try will succeed at losing weight using basic advice from the internet, most people will never get visible abs or defined muscles.
3
Why?
4
Well, I have a theory that everything can be explained by a chart.
5
If you just have a little weight to lose, it's going to feel pretty easy.
6
But once you start going for multiple months, you need a whole different set of mental tricks and knowledge to get you to the end.
7
Just
8
because it's easy to do a 300 to 500 calorie deficit
9
for a day doesn't mean it's easy to do for months in a row.
10
The difficulty builds up, and people just don't anticipate the exponential increase in how hard the diet gets over time.
11
Someone once said, the greatest shortcoming of the human race is man's inability to understand the exponential function.
12
For example, if you have $1 of credit card debt that grows by 2 % each day, here's what it would be after 30 days, 60 days, and 5 years.
13
Now apply that to weight loss.
14
It might be pretty easy and calm at the beginning.
15
For a few days, it might even get easier as you adjust to the new diet.
16
But most people don't anticipate that by week 5 or week 10, they're literally going to be dreaming about food.
17
Luckily, it's actually pretty easy to beat the odds and get ripped.
18
Here are some methods you can pull out once it starts getting impossible.
19
The first one is avoiding or even eliminating eating these types of foods, which belong to a category which I call protein slop.
20
If you look at these, you'll notice a pattern.
21
Marketing.
22
In the world of marketing, protein is one of those words which you can slap on a package and instantly make people want to buy it, and at least in the United States, almost anything is allowed on the package.
23
The FDA likes to pretend they can do stuff about stuff, but they can't do anything about anything.
24
Even Kellogg's Special Cake can put a giant heart on the front of the package and say it's good for your heart.
25
You could put protein in big letters on your cereal box even
26
if it quite literally has more sugar than protein by weight.
27
But here's the thing, even if they swapped out all the sugars and carbohydrates for zero calorie sweeteners, fiber powder, starches, and more powder,
28
and the packaging says it only has four net carbs, you cannot escape the fact that it's slop, designed specifically for you to eat multiple bowls of it in one sitting.
29
Not only that, but they want you to feel healthy
30
while doing it so that you can go back to the store
31
and rebuy in bulk protein slop does work pretty well for
32
two types of people one people who just started their diet
33
and are replacing snacks with the higher protein reduced sugar versions of that snack
34
or two people who just naturally feel satisfied by whatever they
35
eat for the rest of us a double chocolate chunk protein bar
36
that tastes like a sweet fudgy brownie is only going to make you crave another one from the box
37
or if you took out a mortgage to buy an individual protein bar Then you'll start craving something else sweet and fudgy.
38
People say fiber fills you up and protein fills you up, but when it's in the form of a bunch of sweeteners, oils, gums, emulsifiers, isolates, concentrates,
39
and additives, glopped together to form a rectangle that can fit in your pocket, you will eat in 10 seconds and still be hungry.
40
Whereas less processed sources of protein that actually take time to chew and swallow, that don't taste addicting, and that actually fill up the space on a plate or a bowl, will keep you full.
41
The key here is finding high -volume food that does not taste addicting.
42
For example, tofu is pretty high -volume and filling because it's mostly water and the rest is protein, and even if you season it, it's not something that you want to eat multiple plates of.
43
I wouldn't call it a whole food or an unprocessed food, just watch a video of how tofu is made, but I would still eat it to get ripped because it's high -volume and it's filling.
44
Every protein source has a spectrum of how tasty it is versus how easy it is to binge eat.
45
Ideally, you want something that's filling.
46
It should also taste good enough for you to not dread eating it, because that'll result in you giving up pretty early.
47
Think about this chart, and for you, what foods fall in which corner, so that you can figure out where to get your protein from.
48
The second tip.
49
Because you're trying to get shredded, and not just lose a few pounds, you pretty much have to track everything you eat.
50
I, and many other people, have learned this the hard way.
51
The moment you stop tracking your calories, or at least stop being aware of them, is exactly the moment you start to fall back off the diet.
52
I used to use a food scale with the Notes app to track my calories, but it gets quite chaotic trying to weigh out everything, whip out the calculator, estimate calories,
53
track outside food, while tracking your macros, your weight, and your visual progress.
54
So then I switched to ChatGPT, today's sponsor.
55
Just kidding.
56
ChatGPT is terrible.
57
It forgets everything you tell it, and by the end of the day, it's hallucinated an entire extra meal that you never ate.
58
It also doesn't know the date or time.
59
Mine still thinks I'm counting calories for May 3rd, and it's December.
60
That's why I switched to today's actual sponsor, CalAI.
61
This app allows you to calculate the calories and macros of any food by just taking a picture.
62
You can also upload pictures from your phone, so at a restaurant you can discreetly pretend to take a picture of your food
63
and people will think it's for an Instagram story.
64
In reality.. you're going to upload it later into CalAI.
65
The tracking is actually surprisingly accurate, roughly 90%.
66
You can always adjust it with a few taps.
67
It also lets you scan barcodes and nutrition labels since it has a full food database.
68
That does make it pretty convenient, but I don't even worry about it being perfectly accurate.
69
I just want to make sure everything is tracked.
70
Back when I was using a food scale and the Notes app, anything that couldn't be tracked, like cookies or pizza at a friend's house or at a restaurant, I would just eat way too much of,
71
estimate the calories after the fact, realize I was 2 ,000 calories over my goal, and then give up the next day because that was an entire week of progress, gone.
72
If you think you'd never get hungry enough to mess up that bad, you fail to understand the exponential function.
73
You will get that hungry.
74
So it's nice to be able to keep track of what you eat while you eat in just a few seconds.
75
The app is also quite useful as a diet coach since
76
you could pick how fast you want to lose the weight
77
and it gives you a calorie goal and lets you track your progress for extra motivation.
78
A download link is in the description.
79
Make sure when it asks you for a code to use the code EASY, which gives you three days free.
80
I hope it helps.
81
Next diet tip, number three, eating water.
82
Not just drinking it, but eating it.
83
And I don't mean in the form of ice cubes, I mean food that contains water.
84
Everyone's always like, oh, water has no calories, so when you're feeling hungry, just try drinking water and it'll fill the gaping void in your stomach.
85
But that's really only true when you're beginning a diet.
86
When you've been dieting for two months already, drinking water no longer fills the void.
87
I mean, nothing could ever fill the void, but solid food is a good place to start.
88
It's a little known fact that water, even if it's sparkling, or even if it's in the form of a sugar -free soda or juice or iced tea, it all empties from your stomach in under 10 minutes.
89
So it might distract you from wanting to eat, but the liquid by itself is not going to fill up your stomach for that long.
90
But you can trick your stomach in two ways.
91
First, by sipping water while you eat, so that it mixes with your food and makes it expand.
92
Or second, by eating solid food that has water inside it.
93
For example, cantaloupe.
94
That's rock melon if you're Australian.
95
It's 90 % water, but it'll actually fill the void in your stomach due to it being solid.
96
More examples, strawberries, blueberries, apples, oranges, watermelon, also most vegetables.
97
They're pretty much all at least 85 % water.
98
Potatoes are also mostly water.
99
It doesn't seem like it, but it's there, and that's why you can have a full potato for only 100 calories.
100
Most foods actually that you would think of as whole food, like fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, beans, meat, and dairy, are usually at least 50 % water,
101
whereas something like a Dorito is mostly made up of corn and vegetable oil.
102
Another method is soup.
103
Soup is mostly water, but especially thick soups or stews, you have to sit down and eat it with a spoon and it takes time to digest.
104
Or if not soup, maybe you'll like oatmeal.
105
Oatmeal absorbs water and expands while it cooks.
106
So if you add dry oats to a bowl, add water and microwave it, then you'll get cooked expanded oats.
107
Now add more water and microwave it again.
108
Now you have super expanded oats.
109
Now is where you might add in some dry protein powder to mix in, but that's a wasted opportunity to add more water.
110
First, mix the protein powder, chocolate flavored obviously, with a full glass of water and then pour that into your bowl of oatmeal.
111
Now you have a giant bowl of oat soup
112
that is mostly water but you have to sit down still with a spoon to eat it
113
and it registers in your brain as a solid food.
114
This method is of course not for the picky eater.
115
It's for when you need something under 300 calories that'll fill the void in your stomach for five plus hours.
116
If you're dieting you'll know.
117
Next to take your mind off of food and eating.
118
Some people can naturally go about their day without even thinking of food.
119
In fact, they have to remind themselves to eat.
120
But if you aren't like that naturally, you have to change your whole setup and routine to be more like that.
121
Because if you only have, let's say, 1 ,800 calories to eat per day, you can only achieve that by spending most of the day not eating.
122
Just watch any video of someone actually eating 1 ,800 calories in a day.
123
It's almost nothing.
124
The people in the videos are only eating max three to four times a day, including snacks, including the small protein shake they had in the morning, including everything.
125
If you spend most of your day at home or in a place where there's a lot of available food, plus you're deep into a diet, then you'll naturally be thinking about eating every hour of the day.
126
And there's at least three solutions to this.
127
Number one, distract yourself with work or hobbies.
128
Number two, remove the food, especially trigger foods from your environment entirely.
129
And number three, get used to eating maximum three, maybe four times a day.
130
And if you have a snack, you should just eat it with one of the meals, because even though it might seem better to spread everything out, hunger is like a gate that opens every time you start eating,
131
and it doesn't close until you're satisfied.
132
Next diet tip, number five, be patient.
133
This sounds like a generic advice, but it's really not.
134
It's not one of those situations where patience is just nice to have.
135
Patience is literally the entire mechanism behind getting ripped.
136
Usually on a diet, you only have a few things you need to do.
137
Wake up and weigh yourself, hit your calorie and protein goal for the day, work out, which honestly doesn't have to be a hard workout, and sleep.
138
Then you just repeat this every day until eventually you end up ripped.
139
The main reason you would fail is because you run out of patience.
140
Either you think the results are not coming fast enough, or they're never going to come, or you think you can get them faster and easier by buying protein slop at the store,
141
which actually ends up being your downfall later.
142
Most things in life are achieved faster by obsessing over the thing, but dieting to get ripped is one of those things where obsessing over it will make you fail.
143
You can take pride in it, you can even make your entire personality if you want to, but once you get to exponential levels of hunger, the last thing you want to do is obsess over all the things you could eat,
144
so might as well give yourself as few decisions to make as possible, which is the same thing as giving yourself as few chances to mess up as possible.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
