If you don't want to lose fat, keep believing these 7 fat loss myths...
1. Fasting is superior for fat loss.

It isn't. It's just a way to manage your calorie intake across the day.

If it works for you, have at it, but you may make muscle loss more likely.
2. You have to cut carbs to lose fat.

You don't. I lose fat eating 300-400g of carbs per day.

My client Tony has been working with me for 8 weeks and he's achieved this so far on 150-200g of carbs per day.
These other clients are all eating carbs.

Get it out of your head that carbs cause fat gain!

You just need a calorie deficit to lose fat.
3. Fat burner pills can help you lose fat.

They won't. It's just a massive scam.

The same goes for:

- Skinny teas
- Waist trainers
- Body wraps

All just a way to part you with your money.
4. Cardio is required to lose fat.

Cardio has health benefits and it can certainly help you to lose fat - but you can do it all through your diet if you wish.

Cardio helps you burn more calories & can get you into a calorie deficit (or make an existing one bigger).
5. "Fat loss workouts" are how you lose fat.

You should see my clients' "fat loss workouts".

They look the same as my "muscle gaining workouts" (with LESS work)

"Fat loss workouts" aren't a thing.

Lift to maintain muscle while your calorie deficit takes care of fat loss.
6. You should eat "fat burning foods".

You know those things you see on Instagram and Facebook like the below?

Yeah, ignore those.

Everything is a fat burning food or a fat gaining food depending on whether you're in a calorie deficit or surplus.
7. You're "not eating enough to lose weight"

People will blame "starvation mode" for a lack of fat loss.

Tell that to people in countries where there is famine.

They're eating less in a week than you do in one meal.

If you're not losing weight, you're eating too much.
If you want to actually lose fat next year, I'm taking signups for a 60 day program beginning in January.

Discounts if you get in now!

10 habits you must adopt to live a long and healthy life. Image
1. Avoid ultra-processed foods.

Ultra-processed foods are addictive, have low nutritional value and are easy to overeat - resulting in high calorie consumption and weight gain.

Excess bodyfat leads to lower quality of life and reduced life expectance.
2. Do what makes you happy.

Scientific studies have found links between life satisfaction, absence of negative emotions, optimism, and positive emotions and living longer.

How a suspected stroke led to me discovering the amazing benefits of magnesium.

Short story...
You might struggle to believe this, but a year ago I was rushed to hospital under the suspicion I was having a stroke.

It was one of the most terrifying and surreal experiences of my life.
I was out Christmas shopping with my family.

Just as we were leaving to go back to the car, I started to feel a tingling in one of my hands as I was pushing the pushchair (my daughter was 11 months at the time).

5 reasons you should eat red meat and why you shouldn't believe past research linking it to cancer, heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes👇
Health scientists at the University of Washington have analysed decades of research on red meat consumption and the links to various health outcomes.

This has called into question the links made between red meat consumption to cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease & stroke.
The new study says that past research was based on weak evidence and there appears to be no link between eating red meat and health problems like cancer, heart disease, and even stroke.

My training didn't get me these results, my diet did.

Read this thread to learn in 5 minutes how I dropped 34 lbs of fat 👇 Image
Let me caveat this up front by saying that I have trained for years to build muscle.

I have the same amount of muscle in both pictures, I just lost the fat covering it.

The only thing you need for fat loss is a calorie deficit.

The easiest way to do this is through diet.
You need to take in less energy than you expend and you need to remain consistent until you've lost the desired amount of fat.

Everyone has different energy requirements. Get an idea of yours here and see how much you should be eating.

10 things smart people know about lifting weights.
1. You need the right amount of work, not the maximum amount of work.

Building muscle is like getting a tan. The weights are like the sun, providing a stress.

Building muscle is your body's response to the stress.

You need the right amount of stress, not as much as possible.
2. Muscles need time to recover. Training a muscle group 3 or 4x per week is not necessarily better than training twice per week.

Training muscles while they are still recovering only hampers their growth.
