My 8 years of fitness knowledge and 28,000+ tweets combined into one thread:
1. Stop drinking alcohol. It f*cks your sleep, recovery, cognition, energy, mood, libido, cravings, and more. STOP.
2. Remember this: Diet for fat-loss, lift for muscle, cardio for heart health. 3. Higher cortisol levels (stress) cause your body to retain more water. Retaining more water = more of that "bloated" look. 4. Room-temp water is better for workouts than cold water
5. Belly fat is often the LAST to go. Be patient. 6. Supplements won’t fix a shitty diet and low activity levels. Don’t look for shortcuts. 7. The more muscle in your body = the more calories you burn at REST. Prioritize lifting over cardio
Below are the 24 tips I'd give to anyone needing to drop a significant amount of body fat:
1. Creatine. You should take it, your friends should take it, your parents should take it. It's great for strength, building muscle, and cognition. 5g/day forever.
2. Don't post pictures of yourself going to the gym on social media. In the beginning, people may cheer you on. When they stop, you'll lose motivation and quit. Do this for yourself & show up as a new person out of nowhere.
After 8 years in the gym, here's every fitness tip I could come up with:
1. Stop drinking alcohol.
2. Fasted cardio and lifting weights will turn your body into a fat-burning machine. 3. Get 50g protein minimum in your 1st meal 4. One 24-hour fast each week. 5. Spend a lot of time sitting? Do "bar hangs" after each workout to decompress your spine
6. 90% of your meals should be: chicken, steak, beef, salmon, shrimp, greek yogurt, eggs, fruit, rice, veggies, and potatoes 7. Lift legs 2x per week minimum. Your body's biggest muscles are in your lower body.
