The Skinny Fat Cure.

(7 secrets to drastically lose fat & gain muscle)

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 👇
1. Don't exercise. Train.

Mr. Jones jogs every day.

He exercises A LOT.
But still looks soft.

Have a GOAL and PURPOSE for every move you make in the gym.
2. Don’t just "stick to the basics”.

Classic “hard worker” mistake.

Oversimplifying to the point of inaccuracy.

The basics have their place.

But we want to be effective & efficient.

Effective & efficient = your body changes sooner rather than later.
3. Protein is your best friend.

Skinny fat bodies barely have any muscle to speak of.

That's the problem.

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 body.
4. 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 📈
5. Impossible reps.

Muscle growth is an adaptation.

Adaptation requires an intense enough stimulus.

So remember this.

When the reps feel impossible, those are the ones that change your body.
6. Calorie balance.

When you're skinny fat, regardless of the workouts

You need to address the FAT.

The only way to do this is to control calories.

Eat fewer calories than you burn.

And the fat will fall off.

Make it measurable (so you can adjust it later).
7. Don't rely on motivation.

Learn to stop relying on a temporary emotion.

- Find your "why"
- Set a concrete goal
- Invest in accountability

Everyone feels unmotivated sometimes.

The winners do it anyway.

My father was hospitalized 18 times in one year.

He used to be healthy.

But then he:

• Had kids
• Got lazy
• Ended up with heart disease, diabetes & cancer

These 25 subtle habits destroyed his health:

1. He mostly wore running shoes & dress shoes Image
2. Sleeping on his side.

This can lead to misalignment, causing chronic neck and back pain.

You’re better off training yourself to sleep on your back for optimal spine health.
3. Eating cereal late at night.

Sugary carbs before bed mess up your blood sugar and ruin your sleep.

If you’re hungry late…

Eat a high-protein snack like beef jerky.

Despite what your Doctor says…

Your body will NOT detox on its own.

He lost 40lbs & became cancer free.

Here's 19 health secrets his doctors never told him:

If you want to lose weight…

3. Your physical health and mental health are not two separate things.

They are reflections of one another.

So treat them both with respect.

The woman God wants to raise your son isn't twerking TikTok.

If you’re a Christian man struggling to find a “good woman”...

Follow these 9 rules: Image
1. Stop chasing women

Adam wasn’t looking for Eve.

God presented Eve to Adam while Adam was tending the garden.

Do what God calls you to do, and he’ll present you with a woman to help with that mission.
2. Stop watching p*rn.

Why would God trust you to take care of one of his Daughters if all you do is masturbate to them?

Simply do better.
