I'm so sorry!! Macronutrientcalculator.com must have just been taken over by some new company promoting a keto diet! I don't recommend it any more and I'm looking for a better one now ❤️

oh thank you because it recommended 1070 calories a day :o

Can you recommend another calculator? Thanks a lot!!

I like healthyeater.com, you can customize your macros and it doesen’t seem to underestimate calories

Chronometer??

Somer Drummond hi, that one gives me lower protein an higher fat than the majority way of splitting macros. Do you know why it’s different?

Ok so here's my problem. I have been working out everyday with a 1-2 rest days a week for about 1 and a half years. I have already built alot of muscle and its kinda showing up and I have lost a lot of fat but I would like to keep losing more while building more muscle mass. I guess I'm kinda medium. Not really skinny and not really fat..So what the heck do I do haha.

Hey Natacha! Did you find a better calculator to use? Do you have a way to contact you for help or is that generally on here?

Natacha.. Is it okay to drink whey protein when trying to lose weight? Im thinking taking whey will prevent muscle loss while im trying to lose weight? My ideal weight is 70 but im 79 now. Should i not drink whey? And focus on weight loss first then when i reach may 70kg then i will take whey?

I am learning SO MUCH from you. Thank you!!!

I must be watching too many fitness videos because YouTube is showing me ads fof walking to lose weight in South Dakota

Ahh!! That was helpful. Thank you

*cries* i love how you flashed your biceps at 2:29 ToT

This was extreeemelyyy helpful. Thanks so much for this!

I do them both, keep my balance normal 80-20 healthy diet ( fat , carb , protein ) , and train balance workout ( cardio , weight ، stretching). By the way, I’m 51 k 156 cm.

But I'm confused.. should we not just eat intuitively? why is this so complicated? :(

Hi Natacha! Please do a video of how to cut in a healthy way. I watched your videos for so long and it has helped me a lot in having a good relationship with food and still loose weight. I still have some fat to loose but I'm scared of doing a harder cut incorrectly and ruin the progress that I have achieved. Love you lots and hope you can do this :)

Natacha could you please do a video on hypertrophy training and maybe like your opinion/experience?

Do you mean a 10% deficit on my BMR or on my TDEE? in your educated opinion :)

On your TDEE, assuming you’re not already in an energy restricted place ♥️

Macronutrientcalculator.com issues. The email will go through for the subscription, but not for my macronutrient/calorie results. :/

My BMI is 16, i really wanna start bulking but im only 13 and even though im very underweight im not yet old enough to lift heavier weights. Cant wait till im fully grown (even though i have been 172cm for the last 3 years) so i Can start bulking.

If the bulking phase can last from 3 to more months, how long does the cutting last? I wouldn't want to overdo it with cardio and lose my muscles. So if you're in a cutting phase, for how long and how many times a week should you do cardio? And how long in general does the cutting phase last? (does it only involve cardio like running? or do people keep lifting even during their cutting phase but it's just about diet?)

The red actually suits her so well I'm jealous

I’m cutting at 24 percent.. is that okay?

I had an ED and now I recovered and gained huge amount of fat while my metabolism is so low. Now I'm good with food but can never lose fat eventhough I train ( but most likely cardio) , what to do?

I recently found your Chanel and been binge watching all your videos. Love your positivity ❤️

Can I also build muscles and bulk just with my bodyweight? Without weights?

Natasha what would you suggest doing if you have come from a bodybuilding training routine for 8+ years but want to try some plyometrics training and workout like you? I also gave knee issues so jumping things can put damage to my body.

You answered ALL of my questions and more!! I now know whether I need to cut or build muscle and what the process gets you... a weight and physique you want to maintain and that makes you happy. Such a simple yet scientific explanation of a topic which easily gets mangled and confused! Love you 😍

Natacha, LOVE this video for explaining cut/shred. Question. Is there a particular BF% that is ideal before cutting or is it more personal goals and preferences. Thanks so much! :D

Thank you so much Natacha! You actually really helped me! I’ve been asking so many people of I needed to actually bulk up and if they had any tips but I wouldn’t really receive an answer, you really helped by breaking it down for me thank you so much!

Couldn‘t I do both like i do two sessions of where i cut and the other 3 or so where I bulk? 🤔 also i love your videos soo much😍

Hi Natasha, I don't know if you'll reply to this or see this but I am struggling. I have had a very bad relationship with food for pretty much my whole life. I am working on it and it's all thanks to you but now I'm struggling with my weight. I have fluctuated in weight for ages. I was over 110kg when I was 17 and then I lost 50kg from restricting food. Since then it's been a battle to get my dream body. I have put on weight and now in the process of losing it. I am doing a mixture of cardio and weight strength training but..... My waist is starting to bulk. I am definitely thinner but I am not getting that hourglass figure I used to have or dream of. My butt has always been flat and I am trying to bulk it up but I am struggling. Do you have any advice on exercises,what I can do to get this body and why it might not be working. I would 100% have bought your plan but I am struggling to even pay for my gym membership...this is really important to my mental health as it is starting to really affect my depression and self love. Thank you and I love your videos!

Wow you really know hat your talking about!!!!! Love this video

right now i'm trying to boost my metabolism (inspired by your video) doing hypertrophy and increasing my calories every few weeks would that be considered bulking?

I am not overweight, my BMI is around 23 but I do have a really high body fat percentage (around 30%) so I guess i am "skinny fat". I have been training for a couple of years but in an on and off fashion. Would you recommend bulking to build muscle first or cutting this reduce my body fat percentage? This has been a source of confusion for me for a long time!

Any advice for me regarding bulk and cut? I'm now in my 2nd year as a lifted but lately had to increase to 500 cals above maintenance to gain 0.3lbs per week but the fat gain over the last 12 weeks is not desirable. I'm now looking at lean bulking...but how when I'm a bit of a hard gainer?

Wow, i actually wasn't expecting your answer.. But it does make sense since i currently have basically no muscle haha. Guess i'll look a bit further into it and probably stop cutting.

Alright imma bout to start bulking 💪

is cutting and bulking back and forth the same as yo yo dieting and thus ruins your insulin resistance and slows down metabolism?

Such a beaut! Bulk bulk bulk! 😁

Im not underweigth but i have not have my period for 10 months and i dont know why. Help me pls❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

Great information always !  and your lovely smile on top of that !  love you girl !!

I’m not sure what to do! With intuitive eating, I’ve maintained a weight that is way too heavy for me. (I plateaued in my weight loss for over a year.) I have lots of excess fat to lose, but I feel the best way for me to lose fat is to build muscle.

I should add that I have cardiovascular fitness. I run 5ks regularly.

Could you make that video on healthy cutting? Love your vids ❤️

Hi I just started a bulk and I’m losing weight, any advice thanks

I know this is an older video, but hopefully you’ll see this and respond! I’m fine with my body weight, I just have a higher body fat percentage and I would like to reduce that and gain muscle. I do have a little bit of fat I’d like to get rid of (lower belly, thighs and hips), but overall I’m thin and fine with my size. In order to get rid of this little bit of fat and gain muscle, would it be best for me to bulk?

But how long is a 'little but of time' when you don't like what you look like. Currently at that stage and going to be wearing nothing but a bikini for a week in 2 months time.

Hi Natacha, thanks so much for this video. Super practical advice and very down to Earth approach. I've never been so excited to take care of myself and get in shape as I am after watching your videos!

Shit and my bmi hasn't been under 27 in years

I absolutely love your channel. Your super informative about overall health and I’ve come to learn and enjoy having a better relationship with food. I want to loose weight but I’ve also started weight training and I’ve been loving the process of both.

You should do a collab with miss fit and nerdy

I know im a little late to the party, but have u ever considered doing a cookbook/collection of your favorite recipes?

Would u do a video on cutting please? LOVE the content u put out... My favorite Utuber ever! ❤

I wish you could talk about what you should do first if you're "skinny fat" like not overweight and not underweight either

I’m 138 pounds (ish) and 5 foot nothing. Every chart says I should be at the most 128. Should I listen to this? Also, I do want to get to 130 lbs but I don’t know if I should cut because I don’t know if I’m close enough to bulk to help. Ugh! It’s so confusing lol. Anyone have any tips?

I needed this video sooo much, though I have to add one thing you kinda mentioned, too: I'm having quite a good/low weight for my height, I look skinny, I am skinny, BUT... I have a prettyyy high body fat %. (And a bit too much fat in general right now, like a tiny belly e.g.) I was first considering bulking first, but have read, if you have a body fat % over 23% it might be a good idea to cut first, as you will gain some fat during bulking. Good point though, about bulking first to make cutting easier!

How are you so dam adorable AND smart?!?!? Love your channel ❤️

I don’t really get bulking.. I mean you eat more than you burn, my body would just gain fat 🤷🏻‍♀️

How do you incorporate nights of going out into your cut? Like I’m in uni and obviously we have parties and eat a lot and get drunk which means I gain up to three kilos after days like these.. which means I need an entire week to get back to my weight but by then I’ll have another party so overall I’m not losing at all

Please please make 1. A video on how to properly cut and 2. A video on how to train when you’re satisfied with the muscle you have (maintaining high metabolism, etc) ❤️❤️❤️ :)

Love love LOVE your videos and the fact that you do your research and try to give the most realistic advice. It would be so useful if you did a video on different body types and how to work to your body type - and if the body type classification is actually true.

Can you make a video on bulking? I’ve always been afraid to do it because I always think I’m going to gain too much weight. My BMI is 18 so I should I’m just not sure the proper way to do it.

An updated video on the most effective and healthy way to cut would be amazing 🙌

Yes, please make an updated cut video!

What would you say is a reasonable surplus? Like 300? Or 500?

O'Neal Keegan probably 200/300

Please make a video on cutting and nutrition during that phase...

You have inspired me so much!!!....I just wanted to say THANK YOU 🤗🤗🤗

Hi Natacha. Are your guides available to buy in other countries? I am from India and wanted to train using cut

What brand of swimsuits do you buy?? They all look amazing!!

Hi, I have noticed that there are sooooo many videos on you tube and posts on Instagram about ‘how to lose weight’ or ‘weight loss tips and tricks’ however I’m at a stage where I’m now at my ideal weight but need advice in how to maintain this weight. Have you got any advice or would you be willing to make a video on it?? Thanks ☺️☺️

How to target that spot underneath butt..i cant get rid of that fat underbutt..

You’re so pretty 😭

Natacha ...i want to ask how much you have to gain to get back your periode and is it okay if i eat 4000+ cal a day

I LOVE Natacha !!!

La verdad no entiendo lo que dices jaja pero te encontre y me encantan tus videos

Natacha recently watched your video on how to get your periods back. I lost my periods because of low nutrition and over exercising. Just wanted to ask you did you completely stopped exercising when you were trying to get your periods back please share your story.

Your hair looks soooo good!

Dear and wonderful Natacha, I wish you many more subscribers! Thank you!!! As informative and inspiring as usual! Keep on!!! 💪🌟😍

Ha ha haaa , you love to talk . Bet Mario enjoyed the silent period . Thanks Natacha for the vid . I’d love to see a vid of foods and meals , for someone overweight and just starting out in the gym . Norm.xxxx

how long do cutting and bulking phases normally last?

How many calories in a surplus do you think I good for 'bulking' to not gaining too much at once?

Watching your videos has inspired me to get fit and healthy so much. I’ve cut down on snacking on loaaads of unhealthy stuff, and instead replacing it with healthy stuff which is equally as tasty! My motivation to go to the gym 5 days out of 7 has shot up. I even watch your videos when I’m in the gym! Thank you for being so positive and refreshing💛

Hi Natacha, been watching your past videos to resolve my current problem.I guess I’m in the cutting phase, having lost 12.5 kg already 22.5 kg to go. IBM 27.8, fat % 29.3, scale 73.5 kg and height 5’4” (around US size 8). I’m careful not to under-eat even though I do have a 500 cal deficit and I recently did a carb cycle for 2 weeks. I train intensely 5 times per week including 2 boot camps, 1 upper body (hypotrophy), 1 lower body, 1 cardio (think soul cycle). I’ve been gaining a lot of muscle (arms, glutes, back, thighs. I even see ab definition), but because my fat are still prominent, I still look aesthetically big. How can I improve? Some say to train lower weights and increase reps to build denser muscle, while my fat is cutting. What’s your take?? Interested in any feedback.

When you are doing the cut, are you still weightlifting the same way/amount? I find that I have less energy when I am doing a cut making it harder for me to do heavier weights. Thanks for the informational video💜💜

I just found you channel a few days ago and I've already watched waaay to many of your videos. I went on yt trying to get tips as I'm trying to loose som fat % and gain a lot of muscle (I seriously have none what so ever) and your channel is such an inspiration! By boyfriend keeps joking and asking if I have a crush on you, and yeah, I think I might be totally in love with your personality! It's so much fun to see how everyone in the comments is so inspired by you. Thank for making such great content!

Hey Natacha I have a question... how do I reduce lower belly fat? I am 160cm and weigh 56kg... I am going 2 to 3 times a week to the gym but nothing is helping out.. my fat seems to gather all at my belly... what can I do? 🤷‍♀️

You make me feel so good!!!! You should know that! Love from Greece!!

I would love to see a video off the most effective and healthy way to cut!!

Could explain the cutting vs bulking while eating intuitively? Love your videos :)

Please make that video about how to cut! Love your videos and your vibes! ❤️

Thank you so much I cannot wait for the cutting video because i have been struggling

I want to cut down my calories but when I did I was a lot more hungry in a day as I’m working out/ my job is on my feet all day 😔

Rather than cutting calories. Maybe u can have things with more protein/ fiber.

CUT VIDEO PLSSSSSSSSSS

Yes to the cutting video pleaaaaase 🤩

A cut video would be great!!😁 btw- I'm currently on week 3 of 'cut'😍 loving it🔥

Hi Natacha! for the MOVE training guide, can I do simultaneously with yoga? thank you so much! :)

Could you talk about eating at a calorie deficit in a healthy way? I’m trying to do just that but I can’t balance calorie cutting and practically eating nothing at all. I recently subscribed and I’m so glad I did! Thank you for all the helpful vids.

Love you’re video! Would you please make the one about cutting again? Like you said one video 🙏🏻

You are the best! One of the only people that make working out sound so simple and not massively stressful! All the stuff out there is so confusing and extreme and you just make it all about balance and fun and it's wonderful! xx

Hi Natacha as much as I enjoyed your videos, I feel like this one is not for overweight/obese people. They have to cut and they have to cut more than 10%! I feel like this video was just aimed at some one with 20lbs or less weight to lose. A 20% deficit is more suitable for obese people. Their bodies can handle deficits better.

Hey Natacha, when will the resistance bands be available again? i want them so much !

Thanks for always inspiring me to train the healthy way. Ur channel will always be one of my favorites❤️

Love your hair in this video.

Hi Natacha, I've always wondering if you have opinions on the vegan diet? I've been vegan for 6 months and love it but are there any things I should take special care to do?
