Six intermittent fasting tips for you

Thread👇
1. Black coffee & water are your best friend

I usually begin my morning with a glass of water then cup of black coffee

This skyrockets my productivity & energy levels for my most important tasks

Black coffee will also help blunt your appetite to make your fasts a little easier
2. Fast & forget

Fasting should make your life easier, not harder

Don't overthink the timing. You don't have to stick to the very minute to complete fasts

Simply keep the eating/fasting range in the back of your head... 4-6 hours after I wake is usually when I break my fast
3. Break your fast with smaller meals

Eggs, chicken, steak, fruits, with lots of water are all good examples of fast breakers

The trick is to avoid a crash after you eat

Don't consume a massive amount of carbs for your first meal or you will feel the infamous "carb crash"
4. Sparkling water

Sparkling water is carbonated. Carbonation helps you feel more full during a fast

Obviously, try to find sparkling waters with no caloric content

You can also try adding calorie free flavors like Mio to spice things up
5. Stick to high protein meals

Protein is the most satiating macro nutrient per calorie, meaning it's going to help keep you feeling full longer

Even when eating out, I'll usually add double meat to whatever I order

It's VERY important to prioritize protein
6. Ease into it

You can't expect to go from normally eating your first meal at 7am... to then all of a sudden eating at 4pm

Push your first meal back by one hour each week to slowly transition to a longer fast

I'd recommend the 14:10 eating window to start, then 16:8, & so on

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
