  • This man is the king of fitness.

  • I eat oats a banana and 2 eggs every morning for breakfast on days i workout or not,is this bad for fat burning then?

  • Great advice darin,you are most respected and a role model for all people wishing to improve their bodies and lifestyles naturally,keep living strong.

  • Hey can you put Creatine Monohydrate in protiein shake without it taking away any effects?

  • Is he really John Cena's cousin?

  • 1:47 ...... DARK RYE MUTHA FUGGIN PUMPER KNICKLE!

  • JOHN CENAA

  • Is it better to bulk, then cut. Or try to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time on a caloric deficit but high protetin diet???

  • When you say 30 grams of protein, is that before or after its cooked?

  • hey hey! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (just google it)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

  • Holla! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy lost a ton of weight with it.

  • @canhthien87 that sounds like a really stupid idea, where is the science of this program? I might as well recommend candy in all meals

  • Love your videos, going to try the carb cycling!

  • Hey, Also try That new intellectus 424 diet (Google it). Me and my wife lost crazy amounts of weight best result ever.

  • Kinda looks like john cena and wahlberg in the face

  • who the hell put Mark Wahlberg in John Cena's body

  • @Xenohn LOL man that actually make sense in a weird way XDDDDD.

  • I don't agree with number 6. why protein first and carb second? I think it's the other way around

  • i cant find any information for people who can only workout at night because of their job or cant do cardio in de morning because of their work al these plans are for people with no problem jobs i cant do cardio in the morning so i cant have the perfect body it seems

  • @qweffi you do it the same way as "normal" jobs but instead of morning being am for us night workers its either real early am or pm when you wake up whatever time it is for you thats your morning it is harder but getting fit is not a 20min informercial its a life style and dedicatiion the first month or two no life but once its habbit you can get the balance back...just dont give up because your job doesnt accomadate!!1

  • i cant find any information about people who can only workout at night because of their job of cant do cardio in de morning because of their work al these plans are for people with no problem jobs

  • Darin YOU ROCK!!

  • Hey Darin, I love your videos, they have helped me a lot, so i would like to thank you. One thing, however has left me questioning and that is if cardio is actually better for fat oxidation in a fasted state. A few studies suggests not. Youtube will not allow me to post the link, sorry but I would love to know what you think. Thanks.

  • What about fats (nuts, olive oil) on cardio days, or fats in general?

  • Is it ok to eat every 2 hours? Given that I consume same calories if I would have ate every 3 hours?

  • This is a very comprehensive of do's and dont's for people who want to lose fat and to have a healthier body. I especially like rules 2, 3 and 4. Thanks for sharing the incredible list.

  • Hey Darin, I do weight lifting 4 days a week so does that mean I can eat starchy carbs on all of those days? I do (1) legs (2) chest/triceps (3) back/biceps (4) shoulders. I know leg days I should be able to eat carbs, but does that apply to all those other days?

  • too intense!!!!!!!

  • Its nice to see a video on nutrition timing and carb cycling laid out for you, instead of just a list of good foods and bad foods.

  • I cannot wait to watch your next....very educative!!

  • why do u say eat white bread post workout not better to be brown?

  • I found this video very useful, thankyou :)

  • Thumbs up who thinks belly fat is annoying as hell!!!

  • john cena's cousin

  • i like darin steen. he is a great guy and he provide a lot of excellent advice. but 90% of the information he provide in his book is near identical to that of tom venuto book. i own both tom and darin book, so i know. not really a bad thing. tom book is more detailed while darin book stream line everything that tom teaches. work hand in hand.

  • so do you eat any kind of carbs pre workout for lifing or cardio days? i workout in the morning

  • Darin has the best tipps .... thanks darin.

  • @tom125c I'm guessing that you are trying to put on weight rather than lose fat. If so, I'd cut back on the interval cardio altogether as your fast metbolism will not allow you gain weight. Just try to concentrate on clean protein, fruits and vegetables together with good starchy carbs like brown rice, sweeto potatos, oathmeal, healthy fats with each meal. You don't need to carb cycle like this video says if you have a fast metabolism. Also, stay away from sugars and processed foods.

  • he looks like jason bourne to me

  • Gret vid!

  • hey there, please can someone help me with what exactly i should eat, or just some tips???

    Age : 15

    Height: 5ft 11"

    Weight: 160 lbs

    I resistance train and interval train regularly

    I have a high metabolic rate

    The problem i have is that i am hungry all the time, but i slometimes eat things that i shouldnt. Help please???

    Thankyou.

  • What is your take on mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, broccoli, and carrots)?

  • ** CLAP CLAP** HEY THERE DARIN STEVE IS HERE

  • ok. lets say i do cardio first thing in the morning. question when i should eat breakfasr? stright away after my cardio or i have to wait. should i eat carbs or just a protein after.

  • @pukizs You will burn more fat if you do your cardio before breakfest.

  • Who can actually afford to eat a meal every 3 hours that contains the amount of protein you suggest?

  • @Blackbond007 very simple. You can buy 5-6 lbs of chicken breast for $10.

  • @fatlosslifestyle can I have both starchy and non starchy carbs on strength training days?

  • What part of Chicago do you work from?

    I really would like to check out the gym and blast the abbs and get ripped.

  • is this guy telling me that i can eat carbs after working out.

  • @aceone1988 yes you have to ...especialy after a hard weightlifting workout..you might need some simple carbs after a workout

  • john cenas brother does fitness help?

  • Hi Darin, shall I keep out starchy carbs out of my post interval cardio workout meal? Great video, thanks!

  • john cena

  • I'm sitting at about 11% bodyfat right now and just trying to shred down to around 5-8%. How do you feel about whey protein as soon as you wake up in the morning to preserve lean muscle? I realize after an 8-10hr fast we're in a fat burning mode but isnt it also catabolic? Would it be alright to take 25-30g of whey right when i wake up and then do my hiit session? Would i still be in a fat burning mode after this?

  • in spanish please

  • agree BabyNeuron. cute

  • On non resistance days, if I workout first thing in the morning while I'm in the fat burning zone, Can I take a pre workout supplement such as NO Xplode or Super pump or does that defeat the purpose.

  • @RAFA7810 One of the most shredded guys I know takes NO Xplode before his conditioning, so it can't be that harmful. But if you're nutrition isn't perfect anyway it probably doesn't matter.

  • @RAFA7810 those products are waste of money...dont believe the advertising.

  • @brane771 WHEY PROTEIN works O:

  • i was thinking he looks like john cena

  • I LOVE HIS VIDEOS,GREAT JOB,GREETINGS FROM CROATIA.

  • how is milk and orange juice bad????

  • @sportalien27 milk contains fat..., as far as orange juice i dont know wtf hes talking about besides the fact that its acidic and bad for your teeth, 1 glass a day is all you need according to many studies

  • sorry, but your arms are so short!

  • I was worried I wasn't eating enough when I was Hungry. Thanks too you I know now that I was have been doing it right. I have been Increasing my protein intake with eggs and adding fresh raw vegatables. Spinach, Broccoli,Carrots(not so much carrots),Green Onions. More nuts like Pastacios and soy nuts. I was getting Chicken and Beef before so no changed there. Got rid of processed carbs almost completely.

  • Darin, this is really helpful stuff. Just wanted to say thanks. You make some great vids.

  • John Cena...

  • is 4-5 meals a day good enuff, or should i try to break it down further into like 6-7?

  • Haha..."If it rots it's good for you!" Truer words were never spoken.

  • JOHN CENA...LOL

  • spam tard

  • i just ate 2 pop tarts left over pizza a half honeydew 20 crackers with peterpan peanut butter and 4 entemanns chocolate doughnuts a 1000.00 bar and washed it down with a slim fast , now im ready to go watch tv. i am a winner

  • Lol ma man

  • ahhh i did have the honeydew

  • Dude you look like a dusch

  • U CANT CALL SUM1 A DOOSH IF U CANT SPELL Douche

  • ha yea i can nigga you still a doosh

  • u r pond scm and are a worthless eater

  • Whats wrong with whole grain bread or anything else thats whole grain? Its very healthy for you, this guy doesnt know what hes talking about. Seriously whats the point of living ,when even whole grain is bad for you, carbs are important in your diet, you shouldnt be cutting them out:S. The more you cut out other things the more your likely to binge on other high fat and high sugar junk. Eat healthy ,eat alot of whole grains, it has high figer and will keep you feeling full longer:)

  • Waxy Maize!!! straight to the bloodstream. Hijack some BCAA's and Glutamine along for the ride.

  • can i eat fruits, milk, yogurt on no carb / cardio days?

  • Comment removed

  • whole grain bread? why can't i have whole grain bread? i switched to it because i thought it was better for you then white bread? should i eat any bread?

  • Many or most breads are not good for you i guess. My friend recommended me to Trader Joe's Bread. Check it out.

  • @elmarko85 Most of the 100% whole wheat breads that you find at your local shops have added ingredients like High fructose corn syrup, etc.

    Go with 100% whole oats, they only have one ingredient, easy to make, cheap, and taste awesome!

  • and on clean bulking

  • you should do a video on bodybuilding meals examples

  • Thanks bud, great info :o)

  • i work at least 40 hours a week.... I haven't got the luxury to workout in the morning or early in the day.

    Just barely get to the gym around 8 p.m.

  • as long as your doing what you can buddy, keep it up!

  • Hey Darin, really interested and want to try out how you say carbs resistance days, only greens cardio days, but lets say your eating 2000 calories on resistance days with starchy carbs, wouldn't you only get like 1400 on cardio days without the starch?? How would you mantain the 2000 calories on cardio days?

    Thanks Tom

  • howmany eggwhites one should eat after workout?

    thks in advance for your answer

  • alright so, if you are normal sized person and your trying to put on muscle, u should take a aditional meal a half hour after your post- workout meal???????

  • Extremely good video, love the rules on the side!

  • can anyone answer this??? should you eat then workout or workout then eat???? and if you have to eat first how long should you wait before working out

  • u don't eat b4 u workout u will get stomachache

  • of course u have to eat before u go to the gym , high carb high protein meal , eat before an hour or half an hour before u go to the gym , u ll be able to lift heavier weight

  • I have another question: if the window for the fastest glycogen repletion is within the first 30 minutes after exercise, why would you wait 30 minutes based on hunger levels? Is there science behind this, and if so would you please direct me toward it? Thanks so much!

  • My understanding is that it doesn't matter so much if you're buring fat or carb at any given moment, it's how much you burn total throughout the day that helps you burn the fat that's stored. Is there any science behind carb cycling?

  • subbed y deserve it !

  • Thanks Darin, this is just what i needed to watch. Keeping it going buddy

  • i try not eating bread and pastry but if i do i only get the brown bread

  • what should I use brown or white bread?

  • this video is very helpful! i am going to try to start my workout and eating program tomorrow and i'm definately going to try carb cycling! thank you

  • He looks kinda like Mark Wahlberg

  • Yeah a cross between John Cena and Mark Wahlberg I say. :)

  • @BabyNeuron more like john cena  lol

  • @BabyNeuron He looks kinda like Mark Wahlberg wearing a blue top and talking about nutrition. Get it right!

  • @BabyNeuron the weird thing is i think he sounds like him too, maybe his long lost less successful brother or something

  • @BabyNeuron or matt damon

  • what do you think of the kashi frachise ?

  • hey you should do a Nutrition plan video just for muscle gain it would be helpful.

  • Hey love the vids, but just wanted to clarify something. Do you still have the high glycemic post work out meal straight after your cardio-interval training? Sounded contradictory to the whole carb cycling system? :S

  • Ok it all sounds good for a normal person but would someone with type 2 Diabetes follow the same plan? I have been struggling with my foods for ten years. I finally made a commitment to working out and it's done wonders for my blood sugar levels, but I am still struggling with the food issue. I am now having dangerous lows. Any advice would be helpful other than following dr.'s orders because its what has me struggling.

  • darin i have one question pls answer

    u said its long time to see like u drog free

    but what if my muscle stops to grow?how do i know when that will be? im 17 yr old and im bodyibulding about 7 months pls answer tnx

  • Daren, you're always giveing away exelent advice and telling people straight up. I've learned a lot from your videos. I just wanted to say thanks. Keep it up.

  • fatloss lifestyle DAT CAAAAAAAAAAM

  • The word starchy carb gets me tight

  • what do u think of NO-Xplode by BSN, i take 1 scop and half before workout. I think i am addicted to it now. I also take liquid l-carnitine 1100 by Dymatize, one teaspoon before workout for fat burn.

  • ديربالك ....تره راح يحوشك مرض بالقلب خاصه ال NO-Xplode by BSN

  • cool info. thank.

  • If you wait till "ravenous" your body goes into starvation mode= canabalism of muscle tissue/ slow metabolism.

  • Hey just wondering what u have against coffee/caffiene? Because I have heard a lot of positive things about each lately.

  • Caffeine depletes bone calcium for one and causes artificially accelerated heart rate. However, it is the number one source of anti oxidants for most Americans. Everything in moderation.

  • i heard that coffeine destroys testosterone

  • LUV U DARIN

  • " you do have the power to change! go make it happen!" keep it up Steen! awesome vid!

  • great information Darin! thanks for being a kewl guy and giving out such great information on the health and exercise.

  • i LOVE (!) your videos.. thanks for the advice

  • I just started Darin's program again this monday but this time following the eating part of it too. I figured the part about not being able to have starchy carbs every day would be too hard for me not to follow. However, it hasn't been too bad so far. I just keep eating every 3 hours to keep my hunger level down and I don't have carb cravings like I thought.

    Thanks Darin

  • im 16 years old weigh 135 pounds, and i do eat pretty healthy, and work out regulary. im trying to gain weight but one problem with the protein, is that i dont know what im saposed to eat to have 15-20 grams of protein for each meal

  • a can of tuna has a 22 grams of protein

  • you mean what kind of foods?

  • @AWskatuh eat eggs fish chicken [steaks] nuts drink milk yogurth ur 16 take it easy

  • look for lean meats. chicken, fish, eggs, etc.

    check out nutritiondata . com for nutrition info on just about any food

  • Chicken breast, beef (96% lean), eggs (mostly whites), nuts, seeds, skim milk. The milk already contributes 8g, so you can drink that about 3-4 times a day. 7g is easy, just get about 2 oz of chicken, that's not that much. Also, tuna sandwiches are great, put low fat mayo in there on whole grain bread. It's tasty and has the carbs+proteins to get you ripped even faster. Trust me, it works.

  • darin is the best

  • Thanks alot for the infos! I definitely try this :)

  • could you do a video showing examples of good nuitrition for days of the week, i hear a lot of like, eat beans and vegetables but i've never heard specificly which i have to eat and when, and what kind of breakfast is good, i eat a lot of cerials as breakfast myeself but i don't know if that's the best breakfast, any tips?

  • my problem with morning cardio is this...if I'm trying to pack on as much muscle as possible, and I go and do cardio on an empty stomache...will I be "zapping" muscle off of my body at the same time im burning fat? Should I have a protein isolate shake before doing cardio in the moring?

  • yea i used to do that and i will be doing that again in about a month or so. i would wake up, have a protein shake, and practically run out the door. the shake helps prevent muscle breakdown
