If you are trying to lose weight, you have to take in less calories then you burn. You CAN do manual labor to burn more calories but that takes a lot of work and a small meal can eliminate all the work that you have done. What you want to do is to speed up your Natural Basal Metabolic Rate.
The first thing you want to to is to not over-rely on cardio. When you do cardio, you send your body the signal to become efficient with calories, and that it doesn’t need strength but rather endurance. Your body tries to slow your metabolism down by reducing muscle mass and strength. This is the opposite of what you want to do to speed up your metabolism.
The next thing that you should do is to life weights. You need strength to speed up your metabolism. Muscle burns a lot of calories.
The most important thing is to consume enough calories. When you don’t feed your body much for long periods of time, your metabolism starts to slow down, so you can survive on less calories. Make sure to slowly increase calories overtime, you will find that you have a faster metabolism.
Doing all of these things can lead to a faster metabolism. For example, Sal is training a woman who would do 9 hours of cardio a week and only consumed ~1200 calories. Through the methods explained in this video, she managed to raise her daily caloric intake to over 1800 calories a day, in just two months!

How do you know how much to increase what you eat? I gain weight very easy. And also how do you know exactly what's the right workout for yourself?
trust me the car example is really bad we couldnt even relate anything that is totally a different thing
bro my sister eats all the candy and five course meals and lose 5 pounds and I eqt one gummy bear i gain 50
Your point is interesting and has some elements of truth. However, the idea that doing a lot of cardio will inherently lead to a slower metabolism is an oversimplification. Yes, your body does become more efficient at an exercise the more you do it, and over time, you might burn fewer calories doing the same amount of exercise. But that doesn't mean your overall metabolism is slowing down. In fact, increasing your physical activity generally helps to increase your metabolic rate, not decrease it. This is because exercise, including cardio, helps to increase muscle mass, and muscle is more metabolically active than fat.
That being said, I do agree that we shouldn't rely solely on cardio for weight loss or overall fitness. Resistance training is also crucial as it helps to build muscle mass, which can boost metabolism and improve body composition. Plus, it offers a host of other health benefits like improved bone health and better physical function.
As for diet, it plays a vital role in weight management, and combining regular exercise with a balanced, calorie-controlled diet is typically the best approach for sustainable weight loss.
In conclusion, the key to a successful fitness or weight loss program isn't to choose cardio or weight training—it's to include both, along with a balanced diet and adequate rest. Everyone is different, and what works best will depend on individual goals, preferences, and health needs.
I was eating 1200 calories for years since being a teenager even while making sure to exercise and could never lose weight. People would always say it’s about deficit but I was always in so much of a deficit all the time (like below my bmr) that my vitamins also depleted and the life had been sucked out of me and the fat just stuck, like my body stored it as a defense mechanism. I am only just now (at 22) trying what i haven’t done before, which is actually increasing calories to eventually drop the fat. I feel like my body just hit a chronic plateau eating as little as I was that long. Now I’m focusing on growth, building, etc. If there is one thing I know I can do, it’s build muscle. So I will at least do that right now and figure out the cut later. This video helps a lot!
Did you know that metabolism slow down is caused by pesticides?
I am still confused
Just do mainly clean and press with dumbells. You will lose weight and prompts metabolism. Is full body movement. 5 sets. And walks daily
I watched this video today after feeling bad about myself after seeing that I have just let myself go. So I put on a work out and lifted hard. I pray this is the start of something new for me.
I’m 23 150 pounds idk why I’m here
Check this out. I eat nothing but chicken breast for 7 months. 2 a day once a day. I lost 38LB by the last month. Then November arrived I thought it was safe to eat for 1 month. I gained 22 LB in one month of eating twice a day no junk food just regular meat and veggies. Seems I don't even need food to survive
So I’m hearing that if I want to lose weight I should avoid cardio and eat more food. That’s exactly what I have been waiting to hear!
Can a person strength train with wrist tendonitis? What about Resistance bands?
Instant subscriber! Thank you!
good info , Thanks
Eat 800 calories in 30 seconds, damn! I don’t think I can chew that fast
Good information. I like this video. I appreciate it.
Four years ago, your voice has completely changed!
Can someone tell what to eat?
and here I didn't believe my doctor when she said if I kept starving myself, I would gain weight. I ate one meal a day for ten years. And now, I just can't seem to lose weight or eat more!
How often should a person increase their calories when boosting their metabolism? A couple of weeks or a month? Just curious so I can plan accordingly. Also, didn't Sal write a book on this? If so, what is the title?

When I started to get back into shape after years of neglect and being age 57 70 lbs over weight . I was told do a curcit weight training to lose weigh and cardio and a calorie defeset with healthy clean eating. Now it did work for awhile lost 30 lbs but it was slow But then I platuide. But I remembered when I was younger had 30 lbs to lose I did a 4 day weight training split amd use to get in shape fast. So I switched to that along with hit cardio and wow what a diffreance . I gained muscle and broke through the platu and am getting shredded. My only supplements are post protein powder drink and AG green juice with a good multi vitamin and cretin ang uped my calories form 1500 to 1900. It worked . But I cycle my calories with refeeds and interment fasting. Been working well l for me. Big thing ..NO proceeded foods or sugar hardley ever .
Great Video! I Just started strength training with a PT and as a newbie Im still very nervous about having to eat more calories and meet a macros target but I trust the process and know the more muscle I build will burn more calories and that If I am taking in nutritious food not just junk that this food will fuel my workouts and speed my metabolism up.
For men 100% get your T levels checked because Testosterone plays a big part in Metabolism.
All the dieting and working out in the world cant counter a hormone imbalance thats effecting it. Especially if you're one of the people who lose weight then gain it back like its nothing.
I KNEW IT!! I knew I wasn't eating enough for weight loss. THANK YOU! I'm so sick of people telling me my diet is the issue when I've been eating under 2000 calories a day every day for the past 5 years.
So what type of rep range then 12?
Why does it seem easier for men to lose weight?! NO FAIR Lol
