The Skinny Fat Cure

(Skinny Fat 👉 6-Pack)

// THREAD //
I can remember being frustrated with my skinny fat body.

I had noodle arms that couldn't fill out t-shirts.

And I had a flabby belly that made me insecure to take off my shirt.

BUT, eventually, I found the cure 👇
THE GOAL

Eliminate the skinny fat body.

In order to do this, we need to

1) Gain muscle 💪
2) Lose fat 📉

Here's how we make this happen 👇
Component #1: High protein diet

A big problem with my skinny fat body is that I barely had any muscle to speak of.

Now, protein is the building block of muscle.

No protein = no muscle

This means a high protein diet is a MUST if you have hopes of curing the skinny fat.
Component #2: Progressive intensity

Progressive intensity is a necessity for muscle growth.

How it's done:
1) Track your workouts
2) Increase at least 1 intensity metric every workout

Intensity metrics include: weight, reps, sets, & form

Result: muscle 📈
Component #3: Calorie deficit

This is where the fat burning is in full effect.

When we eat fewer calories than we burn, our bodies are forced to used stored fat as energy.

As a result, we lose body fat.
CASE STUDY

Mateus, an NCAA Athlete training for the NFL

Mateus struggled with the skinny fat body after years of training with little to no change.

He used this cure

- lost fat 📉
- gained muscle 📈

0lb bodyweight difference in 2.5 months 👇

The average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950's.

I needed to find out why this is happening.

It took some time…

But I think I found out EXACTLY what’s going on: Image
Image
Back in the 1950s, life was simpler.

Families were tighter-knit, and the pressures of modern life didn’t loom quite as large.

People spent more time outdoors, engaged in face-to-face interactions, and even though economic and social challenges existed… Image
There wasn’t the constant, overwhelming flow of information we have today.

Kids had structured routines, slept more, and weren’t exposed to the nonstop comparison that comes with today’s social media.

So, what changed?

I found 6 reasons why anxiety is at an all-time high:

These tiny seeds have:

• More calcium than milk
• More omega-3s than salmon
• More antioxidants than blueberries

Yet 90% of people have never even tried them…

Here’s what they are & 8 reasons you should consume them every day: Image
1. Packed With Nutrients

Just 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of chia seeds gives you:

• 10g fiber
• 5g protein
• Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus
• Omega-3s (more than salmon, gram for gram)

All in just 137 calories.

Nature's multivitamin.
2. High In Antioxidants

Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants that:

• Fight inflammation
• Slow signs of aging
• Protect cells from damage

They neutralize the free radicals that accelerate aging & disease.

My dad attempted suicide.

He survived…

But he had to completely change his life to get better.

Here are 12 habits that sabotage your mental health (and how to break free):

1. Casual Drinking Image
Alcohol doesn’t just relax you — it lowers your fear of consequences.

The more you drink, the more you tolerate self-destructive behavior.
Stop drinking casually.

Even a 30-day break can change your mindset.
2. Neglecting Your Physical Health

Your brain and body aren’t separate...

They reflect each other.

If you want better mental health, take care of your physical health:

• Move daily
• Get stronger
• Stop eating garbage

You already know this. Take action.

Saunas are everywhere right now:

• Pro athletes swear by them
• Gyms are adding them daily
• CEOs invest thousands in them

But do they actually work?

After months of research…

Here's everything I found out about sauna’s & whether or not you should use them: Image
1. What actually happens in a sauna:

Your body is designed to adapt to stress.

When you sit in intense heat:

• Blood flow increases dramatically
• Heat shock proteins activate
• Survival mechanisms kick in
• Core temperature rises

It's intense…

But that's exactly what makes it work.
2. The REAL benefits:

Regular sauna use can transform your health & performance:

• Faster recovery
• Better sleep quality
• Reduced inflammation
• Cardiovascular strength
• Enhanced stress tolerance

But here's what most people miss:

A sauna won't fix your poor sleep, bad diet, or skipped workouts.

Get the basics right first.

66% of people suffer from poor digestion.

It's the reason you're:

• Gassy
• Bloated
• Gaining weight

And no, this isn't normal.

Here's what's really causing digestive issues (& how to fix yours naturally): Image
1. Digestive problems are more common than ever

Nearly 70 million Americans suffer from some form of digestive disorder.

& that doesn't include all the people who just "deal with it" & never get help.

If your digestion is off, it affects your:

• Mood
• Energy
• Immunity
• Hormones
2. Most gut issues are caused by modern habits

Your gut isn't broken.

It's just reacting to daily abuse from:

• Seed oils
• Processed foods
• Artificial sweeteners
• Stress & sleep deprivation
• Medications (especially antibiotics)

You don't need a drug—you need a reset.

90% of men are clueless when it comes to testicular health.

But your testicular health affects everything:

• Fertility
• Hormones
• Cancer risk

Here's what every man needs to know (& how to protect yourself naturally): Image
1. They control more than you think

Your testicles aren't just reproductive organs.

They're responsible for producing hormones that affect:

• Energy levels
• Muscle growth
• Brain function
• Mood regulation
• Sexual performance

When they're healthy, you thrive.

When they're not, everything suffers.
2. Regular self-checks are crucial

Most testicular issues are found by men themselves—not doctors.

Check yourself monthly:

• After a warm shower
• Look for swelling, lumps, or firmness
• One testicle feeling heavier than the other

It only takes 30 seconds.

Do it.
