5 Odd Facts about Fat Loss:

1. Even if you are disciplined with your diet, your weight loss will NOT be linear

One interesting trend Ive seen in the data from my clients is that weight will always drop sharply every 10-14 days

You'll get squiggly downward line where weight goes down, up, down, up, down a bit more, up

And then right around 10-14 days, there will be a significant drop thats a new Low

2. Hunger is not the challenge when strictly dieting, its the CRAVINGS

I shall explain:

If you are follow a serious calorie deficit, yes, you'll be hungry, that will 100% happen

But the hunger can be dealt with

What drives people crazy is specific CRAVINGS

In the past 4 years Ive gotten At Least a dozen inquiries and pitches from entrepreneurs who want to create a new health app/product that takes your data and does...something

Same answer: Pointless idea

Its a solution in search of a problem

There is a dominating paradigm in tech entrepreneurship that all the worlds problems be solved with data, an app, and an algorithm

There is zero understanding of complex and non linear systems that defy easy spreadsheet categorization

Technology does not automatically make all things better, quite often it makes them WORSE

The technological mindset that favors pure speed and efficiency and maximizing margins dramatically overlooks robustness, longevity, and 2nd 3rd order effects

TRAINING TIPS FOR 40+

1. Train only as much as you can recovery-Don't feel obligated to train a set number of days. What numbers is objective progression.

The more you train, the less intense any given training session is going to be

2. DELOAD the Spine

This does not mean "don't lift heavy", but direct axial loading, ie, having the barbell on your back, that is pure compression, and it will have negative long term effect

Do this sparingly, and better yet...

I heavily recommend single leg lifts, trap bar deadlifts, weighted bodyweight squats, basically finding ways to apply load without the heavy spinal compression you would get from a barbell

Focus on working the muscles, not compressing the joints
