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.

The silent assassin that stalks every person in America:

Cancer.

It kills nearly 2,000 Americans every single day.

Wanna protect yourself?

Here are 8 foods scientifically proven to protect against cancer:

1. Fatty fish
(Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel)

Omega-3s reduce inflammation throughout your body.

Chronic inflammation? Major cancer trigger.

The protocol: 2-3 servings per week. Wild-caught when possible.

Better than any supplement.
2. Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts)

Contain sulforaphane - a compound that helps neutralize carcinogens.

The move: Steam lightly or eat raw. Aim for 3-5 servings per week.

Your cells will thank you.

Your chest burns.
Food feels stuck.
Acid keeps rising into your throat.

& no matter how much medicine you take…

It never goes away.

It's called “Acid Reflux“ & millions of Americans suffer from it.

Here’s what it is, what’s causing it, & how to get rid of it for good: Image
1. What Is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux = stomach acid rising up into your esophagus.

It causes:

• Heartburn
• Chest tightness
• Bloating
• Bitter taste in the mouth

Over time, it damages tissue—and can lead to ulcers, asthma, or even cancer.
2. Common Symptoms

If you feel worse after eating, you might have reflux.

Look for:

• Constant cough
• Burning in chest/throat
• Burping or hiccups after meals
• Trouble sleeping after eating late
• Sour taste or bad breath
• Voice hoarseness

Reflux can feel like anxiety or a heart attack.

Don’t ignore it.

Everyone's shocked about The Rock's massive weight loss…

But he recently sat down with Dr. Mark Hyman & broke down what's REALLY going on with his health.

What he revealed will make you rethink going to the doctor…

Here are my top 8 takeaways: Image
1. The Rock's Gut Was Destroyed By 2 Rounds of Antibiotics

He took antibiotics for something minor - completely wrecked his digestion.

Killed off the good bacteria that protects your intestinal lining.

Regular doctors just threw more pills at him: "It's probably this, let's try that."

6-8 weeks with functional medicine? Fixed completely.
2. Doctors Almost Put Him on Heart Meds He Didn't Need

Traditional scans showed "plaque buildup" in his circumflex artery.

Immediate response: "Get on this medication NOW."

The Rock called Dr. Hyman instead.

Got an AI scan - turns out it was just anatomical variation. No plaque at all.

Obesity isn't a psychological problem…

It's a spiritual one.

And God can heal the root causes so food no longer controls your life.

Here’s exactly how to do it (based on the bible): Image
For context, my dad was always overweight.

Heart disease, diabetes, 18 hospitalizations in one year.

It led to depression and a suicide attempt.

That's when I knew that this wasn't just just an attack on the mind or body. It was attack on the spirit.
But at first, I tried to address with my mind.

I tried "mental toughness" challenges like 75 hard. I used my first few clients as guinea pigs for psychological "mindset hacks".

But nothing stuck long term, and I found myself at 206 pounds, overweight and nearly pre diabetic.

Leg day is the most important day of the week.

Sadly, most people get it wrong.

If you want to:

• Grow your quads
• Squat 415 lbs for reps
• Finally look good in shorts

Here are the 8 exercises you NEED to be doing (+ how I blew up my calves): Image
Image
My big philosophy:

If you consistently train any variation of these 8 exercises…

And you:

• Train intensely
• Put in the reps
• Add on the weight

You WILL have a strong, powerful set of legs.

Let's dive in…
1. Safety Bar Squats

The handles put less stress on your shoulders, allowing you to focus more on your legs.

The vitamin that controls your energy, focus, and mood:

Vitamin B12.

Most people are deficient & don’t even know it.

Here’s why B12 is non-negotiable for your health (& how you can get more of it): Image
Image
1. Boosts energy levels.

Vitamin B12 helps your body convert food into energy by supporting red blood cell production.

Low B12 can leave you feeling fatigued, even after a full night’s sleep.
2. Supports brain function.

B12 plays a key role in maintaining your brain health.

It helps with:

• Focus
• Memory
• Mental clarity

A deficiency can lead to brain fog & forgetfulness.
