8 actionable tips for effective & sustainable fat loss

Thread 👇
1. First and foremost, let's establish the #1 baseline for losing fat

A caloric deficit.

You MUST be in a deficit to lose fat.

This means you must consume less calories than your body requires to function

When this happens, your body taps into fat stores for fuel

= fat loss
2. Limit alcohol consumption

Fat loss & drinking DO NOT go hand in hand

Alcoholic drinks contain a TON of empty calories

1 night of heavy drinking can set you back weeks of progress

This is why "beer bellies" exist

Drinking a lot causes a heavy caloric surplus = weight gain
3. Eat more protein

Protein filled foods keep you feeling full longer

Which leads you to having to eat less food, making you more likely to stay in a caloric deficit

Eat a protein source, healthy carb source, and of course veggies at EVERY meal

Avoid carb only meals.
4. Be active daily

Cardiovascular activities burn calories and will inevitably help you lose fat

Doesn't have to be a date with the treadmill

- 5k steps daily
- jump rope
- sports
- light jog
- stair climbing

anything that raises your heart rate for an extended period of time
5. Drink plenty of water

Consistently drink water throughout the everyday

Before each meal, drink a full glass of water

You will feel full sooner, thus eating less food

Your body is ~60% water for a reason.

Keep it hydrated
6. Consider intermittent fasting (IF)

IF is time restricted eating and has many other benefits for the human body

I found it WAY easier to shed body fat using this tool

To learn more about IF, get a copy of my guide here:

7. Lower carbs, replace with protein

As mentioned before, protein filled foods will keep you full

Bad carbs only make you crave more carbs and don't keep you full long

If you're having troubles losing weight, track your macros for 1 week. You will see your macro profile sucks
8. Strength train

A well balanced resistance training program combined with the proper macronutrient profile is your best bet to drop fat AND gain muscle

Yes, you CAN certainly lose fat without strength training...

But I will wager $1000 that you won't look how you want.
As always, I hope this helps on your journey!

5 things that may be holding you back from reaching your full potential

Thread 👇
1. You're aren't pursuing the goals you have in mind

If your actions don't align with your goals, you will go nowhere.

In order to grow and improve, you must DO things that move you towards what you are aiming for.

Sounds easy, but put in to practice, it is very hard for many.
2. You have a self-entitlement attitude

This is unfortunately one of the worst things of (my) generation.

You think the world owes you.

Newsflash: It doesn't owe you shit.

Get out there, work your ass off, and you will become all that you dream of.

8 tips & tricks to help you adapt to intermittent fasting

Thread 👇
1. Realize that you aren’t going to adapt over night!

It takes time for your body to adjust to something new

If you feel lighted headed or can’t take the hunger at first, eat!

The goal here isn’t to have you pass out...

It’s to start small and work your way to longer fasts.
2. Strategically blunt your hunger

Drinking things like black coffee, black tea’s, sparkling water, or 0 cal drinks will help (keep 0 cal drinks to a minimum though)

I highly recommend you use one of these to help blunt hunger.

It’s VERY helpful.

I use black coffee everyday.

“THE BIG 6” movements you should have in your workout programming

Thread 👇
1. Horizontal push (e.g. bench press)

These movements work your chest primarily, triceps & delts as secondary

You can do any variation (incline, decline) of bench press to target your entire pectoral muscles

Use proper form and leave the ego at at the door on this exercise
2. Vertical push (e.g. overhead press)

Vertical push movements should be a staple in your routine.

Having strong shoulders makes life a heck of a lot easier + your shoulders can make or break your entire physique!

Prioritize the vertical push.

7 reasons why you should consider intermittent fasting

Thread 👇
1. It is easy to practice

Unlike diets, intermittent fasting doesn’t require you to only eat certain foods.

Rather, it’s timed eating & you simply eat within a small time frame.

4-8 hour eating window is typical.

Shorter eating window = fewer calories consumed.
2. It saves so much time

With 20:4, 18:6, 16:8...

You will likely only eat 2 meals per day instead of 3.

The shorter your eating window, the more time saved not worrying about food.

More time to read a book, spend time with the wife and kids, or go learn a new skill.

DAY 2 OF 90

2400 daily calories
189g protein/day
5-10k steps/day

188.9lbs this morning

-3.1lbs already

This is NOT all body fat!

This weight loss is a combination of depleted muscle glycogen, less water weight, and a tiny fraction of fat.

Let’s see what happens tomorrow🤔 ImageImageImage
DAY 3 OF 90

Stayed within calories, hit protein goal, smashed steps yesterday

Back up to 190lbs this morning

Weight loss will NEVER be a straight line

Fluctuations WILL occur

Interesting enough... I see some pretty big changes already for very little change in body weight! ImageImageImage

WHICH SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD YOU TAKE?

A question I get all the time.

So here's a list of some I’ve found useful over the years.

~Thread~
Let's first establish that 99% of supplements are trash & a waste of money.

+ sups are a waste if your training & nutrition aren't on point.

Most are gimmicks targeted towards naive people.

E.g. “Lose 10lbs in 7 days with this pill”

So.. here’s some actually beneficial ones👇
1. Whey protein

If you struggle with hitting your protein goal everyday, I suggest taking 1-2 scoops of whey protein.

It's NOT a protein meal replacement, its simply to help increase your protein intake when you struggle to eat enough.

I take 1-2 scoops most days. Works great
