Pratica di Shadowing: losing weight is easier than you think - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
There are hundreds of diets out there like Keto, Paleo, Atkins, Napkins, Carnivore, Off the Floor, Off the Wall, Down the Hall, On a Ball, Standing Tall,
2
Eating Meatballs at the Mall, While you're in a Bathroom Stall, Still no Abs despite it all, Gnawing through a Pizza Wall, While you're watching Better Call Saul,
3
which by the way, Great show, Highly Recommend.
4
All these diets promise quick results, but the reality is that most of these fad diets fail in the long term, especially the pizza one.
5
Contestants went on strict diets and exercise plans and lost a ton of weight.
6
But in follow -up studies, half of those who participated in the study regained all of their weight back, and only one of them kept their progress in the long run.
7
Lots of people can go on these diets and see results, but the reality is that getting lean and staying lean requires sustainable lifestyle identity change,
8
and not simply goal -based behavior change.
9
In the book Atomic Habits, James Clear talks about the differences between goal -based habits and identity -based habits.
10
A goal is about what you want to achieve, is about who you want to become.
11
Instead of I want to lose 20 pounds, which as we've discussed, often has temporary results, try thinking I'm the type of person who takes care of my health.
12
That mindset shift can create behaviors that will get you to lose 20 pounds, but will keep you going long after
13
because you identify more with a healthy lifestyle and not just a specific amount of weight.
14
Goal -based behavior is like cramming for an exam.
15
You might pass the test, but you'll probably just forget everything a week later.
16
And after a couple years, Apology.
17
God, I hope this YouTube thing works out.
18
If you try reframing your approach to be a healthy person and make the decisions a healthy person would make, you'll go way past your short -term goals.
19
Align your decisions and behaviors with your beliefs about the type of person you want to be, and you'll not only lose the weight, but you'll maintain your progress in the long run.
20
Eventually, your results will catch up to your decisions, your actions will more naturally align, overall it'll be less of a grind, and over time you'll find that your mind is inclined to design a defined jawline.
21
I think I was meant to be a rapper.
22
Okay, now let's talk about the common mistakes and traps people fall into when trying to lose weight.
23
There are the people who say, "I'll just start the diet tomorrow,"
24
or "I just won't eat again for the rest of the day,"
25
or "I actually just decided to start bulking instead."
26
And then they binge eat like they're Joey Chestnut or the parents from Spirited Away.
27
Faulting on whatever plan you're trying is totally normal, but it's important that you don't spiral when you mess up.
28
Off days are to be expected because you are human, probably.
29
Don't go crazy.
30
Two steps forward, one step back is totally normal.
31
But don't start sprinting backwards.
32
You can't see where you're going and you look like a fool.
33
You also want to follow the two -day rule.
34
Never miss twice in a row.
35
One off day is totally fine.
36
Two off days in a row starts to build a new bad habit
37
that is the opposite of what you're going for and is a slippery slope.
38
Stick with this two -day rule and you'll see yourself consistently trend in the right direction, taking into account the occasional slip -ups that will inevitably happen.
39
If you fall off the horse, you gotta get What do we do when we fall off the horse?
40
We get back on.
41
Sorry, Maury.
42
I'm not a gymnast.
43
Okay, now let's get into how to actually lose weight.
44
Weight loss really boils onto four things.
45
Food, protein, exercise, and sleep.
46
That's the core of it all.
47
Everything else is just dressing, which I should probably stop eating with every meal.
48
The most important aspect of weight loss is food.
49
Put simply, the number one rule to lose weight is that you need to be in a sustainable caloric deficit.
50
This means you need to eat less calories than you're burning. will lose weight.
51
That's just the truth of the matter.
52
First off, you need to know how much you're burning by calculating your daily maintenance calories.
53
An easy way to do this is to take your weight in pounds
54
and multiply it by a number between 14 and 18, depending on activity level.
55
If you're sedentary, 14.
56
Active, 18.
57
Average, 16.
58
Square root of 69, eight some.
59
If I'm 180 pounds and I go to the gym pretty regularly,
60
but I have a sedentary job, I'd 2 ,880.
61
This is the amount of calories I would need to intake every day to maintain my current weight.
62
Now that you have your daily maintenance calories, you should shoot to intake about 20 % less than that every day.
63
So just multiply by 0 .8.
64
In my case, I'd be aiming to eat about 2 ,300 calories per day to lose weight.
65
When you find your calorie goal, if this seems really difficult to you at first, feel free to ease into it.
66
It's much better to go slow than to make unsustainable swings that unless you're in an actual race.
67
Then go fast.
68
What the heck are you doing?
69
Okay, next step is to track the calories you eat, which I know is the most annoying part of this whole process.
70
But if you just do this for a week or two, you'll learn the basic ranges and get a better understanding of how much you're truly intaking.
71
Once you have that foundation, you can just start guesstimating from there with decent accuracy.
72
Just be sure to give the range a reasonable top and bottom.
73
carbs.
74
All important, but to start, I mainly focus on protein as well as calories.
75
To track them, you can read nutrition labels on the food you eat, you can look the food and different ingredients up online, or you can use an app like Cal AI
76
that allows you to calculate the calories and macros in food just by taking a picture of it.
77
Which does feel like it shouldn't be possible, but here we are living in the future.
78
Cal AI is a sponsor of this video, but it's also an app that I've been using a lot lately
79
because it really cuts down on all the annoying parts of tracking food, which makes
80
app you set your goal and it'll give you your target calorie
81
and macros for the day so you don't have to worry about any spreadsheets or mental math.
82
Then you take a photo of the food you're going to eat
83
and it gives you a breakdown of the meal's calories and macros.
84
Overall it's pretty accurate
85
but I do usually double check the ingredients after I scan to make sure it caught everything
86
and then I add in anything it missed.
87
Kali -Eye is a pretty good solution for the majority of people trying to track their macros
88
and are cool with roughly 90 % accuracy.
89
Consistency is the name of the game
90
so being able to track my macros with as little work as possible makes it
91
If you're trying to be extremely precise and need more on -the -dot tracking, there's a big food database on the app that's going to be a little more accurate.
92
And for foods that have nutrition facts, the app has a scanner so it's pretty easy to log these kinds of foods.
93
CalAI is $10 a month, or you can get a whole year of CalAI for $30 up front, which comes out to $2 .50 per month.
94
If you're interested in trying it out, you can click on the link in my description and use code SMART for a free 3 -day trial.
95
In the end, the best diet plan is the one you'll stick with, so if you want consistently,
96
then CalAI is a great tool that I personally use all the time.
97
And for $2 .50 a month, it's a pretty affordable option that can be really useful.
98
If you're hitting that caloric deficit consistently, over time, you'll start to see weight loss results purely from diet.
99
One thing that you probably don't want, however, is to lose a lot of your muscle mass.
100
This is where hitting proper protein numbers comes into play.
101
If you eat enough protein, your caloric deficit will eat away at the fat on your body and not your muscle.
102
And if you eat a lot of protein, composition.
103
Body recomp for short.
104
Bomp for really short.
105
To maintain muscle, you should try to hit about 0 .4 grams of protein per pound you weigh.
106
I'm 180 pounds, so to maintain muscle, I'd aim to eat about 72 grams of protein per day.
107
If you're trying to build muscle, you should aim for about 0 .7 to 1 gram of protein per pound you weigh.
108
For me, at 180 pounds, it'd be within the range of 126 grams to 180 grams of protein per day.
109
And I already know people are going to think amount of protein.
110
And I agree, it is a lot just to be built like a muffin.
111
But there have been some reputable studies in the past 10 years
112
that outline the health benefits of this higher protein intake for BOMB.
113
Eating that much protein is difficult, so the trick is to drink it.
114
Every morning, I mix 12 ounces of water with lemon protein powder, which is 20 grams of protein, and collagen powder, which is 20 grams of protein,
115
and also helps make my skin glow with the light sugar -free green powder for probiotics.
116
And with that, I'm already at 40 grams of protein first thing in the morning.
117
And then for coffee, I mix an espresso shot or instant coffee with a can of my favorite protein shake, Nuri, which pairs great with coffee and gets me to 70 grams of protein before I start work.
118
From there, if your meals have a prominent protein source in them, you'll probably be right where you need to be protein -wise without having to stuff yourself like crazy, unless you want to.
119
I'm still so hungry.
120
I'm so hungry I could ride a horse.
121
Oh.
122
I thought it'd be a different horse.
123
This one's so sad.
124
Alright, here are some food tips that could help make this whole process of losing weight a lot easier.
125
First off, you want to avoid liquid calories.
126
You can intake an insane amount of calories without noticing because there's just so much of it in things like soda, juice, bubble tea, and frappuccinos,
127
which I'm sure you know is Italian for frappuccinos.
128
For me, honestly, if I'm craving a drink like this, I usually just drink a zero sugar liquid IV
129
because it has a lot of flavor and it also has healthy salts and helps with hydration.
130
I also drink a protein shake like Nuri, which honestly tastes better than most desserts, or I just drink water.
131
Because a lot of times when I'm having these cravings, I was actually just thirsty, not specifically for a frappuccino, but just for a drink in general.
132
Hop.
133
Thank you.
134
Some people add chia seeds to their water to help make it extra satiating, but I personally have never done that because I am afraid of the chia seeds growing through my skin.
135
Uh, wasn't something supposed to happen right now?
136
Hey Trevor, can you check on it to make sure?
137
I don't get paid enough for this.
138
Another tip is to utilize food swaps.
139
Swap high -calorie foods for similar lower -calorie foods like low -carb wrap instead of flour tortillas, Greek yogurt desserts instead of ice cream, lean ground turkey instead of ground beef,
140
Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, cauliflower rice instead of white rice,
141
chickpea or lentil pasta instead of regular pasta, like Nuri.
142
I freaking love Nuri.
143
I don't know if you could tell.
144
Nuri, if you're listening, I'm a fan of the vanilla flavor, but I'll truly take anything.
145
Come on, I have a degree in anthropology.
146
That is a cry for help.
147
The only way I can make money from anthropology is by working at the store.
148
Okay, back to the food tips to distract me from my terrible life decisions.
149
To stop yourself from overeating, you can try splitting your meals and putting the other half
150
keep going without even realizing that I've eaten enough to feed a family of four.
151
But if the other half is already in the fridge, the obstacle of getting the food out is enough to make me realize that I'm not even hungry anymore.
152
I'm just eating for the love of the game.
153
I like to eat.
154
Is that such a crime?
155
You also want to make it easier to eat healthy and more difficult to eat unhealthy.
156
That means not buying the junk food in the first place.
157
You don't have to constantly challenge your willpower to choose healthy food over junk food.
158
Willpower doesn't even have to be part of the in your house is like bowling with bumpers.
159
It's almost impossible to throw a gutter ball, and if you do, it's almost impressive.
160
Overall, you want to figure out what feels easiest for you in the long run.
161
Sustainability is the real key here.
162
So try some food swaps, split your meals in half, drink more water, turn it into a chia pet, and whatever you like, keep doing, and whatever you dislike, don't do it anymore.
163
Because if you hit your diet, you won't do it for long.
164
The goal is a lifestyle change for the long term, not a weight loss goal for the short term.
165
matters, but maybe not the way that you think.
166
Most people think that you have to do a ton of cardio to lose weight.
167
This is far from the truth.
168
Unless you love running, it's not really recommended to run a lot to lose weight.
169
Oftentimes, running makes people way hungrier, so they feel the need to eat a lot more, which can be an issue with their diet.
170
Plus, most people just hate running at the core of their being, so it can be unsustainable, especially if you're running backwards.
171
Like a fool.
172
Low impact cardio for up to 30 minutes per day can work really well.
173
This can be inclined treadmill, stairmaster, taking a long walk outside, or doing the worm at the beach.
174
Wait, no, I'm not a real worm.
175
There's been a misunderstanding.
176
Walking 10 ,000 steps a day can have a huge impact on your life.
177
If you walk 10 ,000 steps per day for just three months, believe it or not, you will ask actually be over 400 miles away from your home.
178
Help.
179
Is anyone there?
180
I recently got a walking pad, which I really like
181
because now I can always get my steps in without losing contact with all of my friends and family.
182
Also, when I'm feeling lazy, the walking pad doubles as a food transportation device.
183
Lifting weights is also important if you want to lose weight, avoid losing muscle, and overall have a better physique.
184
It increases metabolism, burns more calories, and having larger muscles makes you look leaner because the fat becomes more spread out.
185
I already have a video about lifting weights, which I'll link here, but a good place to start is to focus on dynamic lifts, like bench press, squat, and deadlifts, about three times a week.
186
sets of five squats and incline treadmill for 15 minutes, and Fridays you do five sets of five deadlifts and take a 20 -minute walk outside, that's a great place to start.
187
Of course, you can add on more to each workout and use alternate workouts if you don't have access to a gym, but if you're pretty beginner or intermediate in your fitness journey,
188
keep it as simple as possible so you can build consistency and then you can just add on more over time.
189
I know a lot of women out there feel like they don't want to lift weights
190
because they don't want to get too buff,
191
but I will say It's the same reason I don't want to learn more about science because in my apartment,
192
there's not enough room on the shelves for a Nobel Prize.
193
Overall, to put it very simply, if you eat less and move more, you'll lose weight.
194
If you eat less, move more, and eat enough protein, you'll lose body fat.
195
And if you eat less, move more, eat enough protein and strength train, you'll lose fat and build muscle.
196
Do all of these things and get good sleep, and you'll unlock Super Saiyan mode.
197
for my anthropology degree please subscribe to the channel.
198
In the end, it's not about avoiding food.
199
You're still allowed to eat really good.
200
You don't have to count everything that you've chewed.
201
Just be consistent with what you do and there will be a high likelihood
202
that you'll conclude your beautitude will be as good as you thought it would.
203
If you thought you couldn't, well, you could.
204
Diets are always misconstrued to be about what you exclude, which can totally ruin your mood and make you think that
205
know you should do it over
206
and over you'll feel deja vu your progress will build results are accrued you'll feel confident
207
and become proud of your body your mind your nips
208
that protrude you used to hate mirrors and avoid being viewed
209
but things have changed and you look really good now even if there is a crowd you're totally fine going completely
210
Butt naked.

Consigli per la pratica
Quando praticate il vostro shadowing in inglese, è fondamentale seguire il ritmo e la tonalità del video. Esamina le frasi e ripetile ad alta voce, cercando di imitare il modo in cui il narratore esprime i concetti. Inizia con spezzoni brevi, magari 20-30 secondi, e poi aumentare gradualmente la lunghezza man mano che ti senti più sicuro. Questo approccio aiuta a costruire la tua fluidità e comprensione, rendendo più facile imparare l'inglese con YouTube. Se un passo ti sembra difficile, non esitare a riascoltarlo e praticarlo più volte. Ricorda che la ripetizione è fondamentale nel shadow speak; ogni ripetizione migliora la tua precisione e sicurezza.
Non dimenticare di applicare i principi discussi nel video anche nelle tue conversazioni quotidiane. Usa le nuove parole e frasi che hai appreso per esprimere le tue idee su abitudini sane e cambiamenti di vita. Questo ti consentirà di integrare il tuo vocabolario in modo pratico e significativo, rendendo la pratica di conversazione in inglese un'esperienza ricca di apprendimento.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato | if you hit your diet, you won't do |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is inclined · was meant · be expected |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | those who participated · person who takes · people who say |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | we've discussed · have been · have never done |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
