All that cardio is killing your metabolism.

Here’s why cardio alone is a terrible weight loss strategy:
It’s true, you need to be in a caloric deficit to lose body fat. It’s basic thermodynamics.

However, we burn calories in 3 ways:
1) Resting metabolic rate
2) Exercise
3) Non exercise activity thermogenesis

Let’s dive into each quickly
1) Resting metabolic rate (RMR)
-the calories that your body uses for basic bodily function to keep you alive for 24 hours

This varies in each individual based on metabolic health, lean body mass, age and overall weight

If you are a busy dad and need to lose weight, read this:
Being a father is the most important role you have. Everything else takes a back seat.

As a father, you’ll even sacrifice your health for the sake of your family.

While this is understandable, it doesn’t have to be this way

Being out of shape is costing you more than just your physical appearance:

Here are 8 areas of your life that suffer when you neglect your health:
1) Your marriage

You aren’t functioning as your highest self because of the food you eat and a lack of activity.

The result is you are more irritable, less focused, and have less sex.

Your physical appearance shows you lack self respect and thats reflected by your spouse
2) Fatherhood

Your lifestyle leaves you low on energy and run down. Your kids want to play but you can’t keep up physically or mentally.

You feel guilty inside, but in your mind you are doing your best. Truth is, a bad night’s sleep with unhealthy habits makes life 10x harder.

You hear a lot about eating more protein to lose weight

Here’s the science behind why it will actually work for you:
Let’s start with the benefits of a high protein diet:

1) Increased thermogenic effect
2) Reduced caloric intake through improved satiety
3) Muscle repair and maintenance
4) Lifelong plan that tastes great
Let’s expand on each point. If it’s strictly about calories, then high protein has you covered.

You’re burning more by just digesting the protein compared to carbs or fats:

It’s estimated the thermic effect of protein is 20-30% while carbs and fats are <10%.
