25 fitness & fasting tips for you

Thread 👇
1. Track your food intake so you know how much you’re eating.

2. Drink lots of water, especially while fasting. Your body is ~60% water.

3. Eat quality meals 80% of the time. Enjoy delicious meals 20% of the time.

4. If you’re hungry while fasting, go for a walk or meditate.
5. Break your fast with a high protein meal. It will keep you full longer + no carb crash.

6. Sleep 8 hours per day, everyday.

7. Set your fitness goal and do at least one thing per day to forward yourself to it.

8. Take progress pictures every 2-4 weeks. It’ll motivate you.
9. Stop fasting if you don’t feel well. No need to kill yourself trying.

10. Eat more protein. Eat 0.8-1g of protein per pound of body weight daily.

11. Eat plenty of whole foods. No processed garbage.

12. If you’re struggling to get vitamins in, supplement them individually.
13. Understand the basics of building muscle. Eat in a caloric surplus.

14. Understand the basics of losing weight. Eat in a caloric deficit.

15. Too much cardio and you will look flat. Not enough and you’ll be winded going up a flight of stairs. Choose the right amount.
16. The only way to overcome plateau's is to KEEP GOING.

17. Foam roll your muscles for recovery.

18. Focus on progressively overloading during training.

19. Enjoy that cupcake/treat every now & then.

20. Try something new. (HIIT, bodyweight training, yoga)
21. There’s no “best” fasting method. Use trial and error and find which one suits your lifestyle (16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, etc)

22. Drink black coffee/tea/sparking water while fasting to blunt hunger.

23. You only fail when you give up.

4 tips for staying lean when you travel

Thread👇
1. Do research on nearby gyms + restaurants + plan

It's better to be proactive than reactive

Prior to departing on your plans, do some research in the area & plan ahead

Where can you find quality food choices?
Where & when can you workout on your trip?

Plan = much easier
2. Prioritize protein (+ double meat)

Most people can't avoid eating take out while traveling... which is fine if its temporary & you make good choices.

Choose high protein, better quality take out (e.g. pita, burrito bowl, shawarma)

And don't be afraid to ask for double meat!

3 things I do daily to effortlessly maintain a lean physique

Thread 👇
1. Intermittent Fast (IF)

Let's get this straight right now: IF is NOT a magic pill!

It is a strategic tool I use on a daily basis to reduce my calories while remaining satisfied with the meals I eat in a caloric deficit

I follow 18/6 for fat loss & 16/8 for muscle building
1. Intermittent Fast (Cont'd)

For fat loss, if you find you eat over your daily calories still while fasting, shorten your eating widow (e.g. 16/8 to 18/6)

For muscle building, if you find you under eat daily, lengthen your eating window (e.g. 16/8 to 14/10)

Keep it simple!

The Five Pillars of Fitness

Thread 👇 Image
1. Strength Training

After approx. 30 years old, you start to lose muscle mass. Roughly 1% per year.

This is known as sarcopenia.

Strength training, whether with weights or bodyweight, on a regular basis helps combat this & promotes muscle gain when nutrition is dialled in.
2. Cardiovascular Training

Most people hate doing cardio, myself included.

However, it's very beneficial and a training program isn't complete if it excludes cardio.

I prefer to make cardio fun via a hobby: sports, biking, swimming, running, walking, etc.

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

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.
