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!

How to maximize muscle gain with minimal body fat

Thread👇
First, let's establish that if you want to pack on any sort of serious muscle mass...

You are going to gain some body fat in the process.

You could attempt to bulk without ANY fat gain, but you will sacrifice size gain, results may be slow & the conditions have to be perfect.
1. *SMALL* caloric surplus

The difference between gaining a ton of body fat vs very minimal...

Comes down to the size of your surplus.

Sure, you can shovel food down all day & you'll gain size/strength.. but you'll pack on fat too ("dirty bulk")

I much prefer to "clean bulk"

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

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!
