Weight loss hacks I know at 46 that I wish I knew at 26:
1. Eat similar meals every single day. This makes eating simple, removes decision-making, and helps you hit your macros and calories consistently.
2. Avoid eating things out of a bag as this can cause overeating. Instead, put your portion on a plate and put the bag away.
3. Get an under-the-desk treadmill. Do walking zoom meetings, watch videos, or read. This will easily add at least 5,000 to 10,000 extra steps per day without even thinking about it.
4. Chew your food until it becomes liquid. This improves digestion and increases your feelings of fullness.
1. Eliminate the alcohol, fast foods, and hyper-processed junk from your diet. Before thinking of adding things, focus on elimination.
2. Set a daily non-negotiable of doing some type of physical exercise for 30 minutes daily. Do this for your brain, body, and stress levels.
3. Stay hydrated. Even a 1-2% drop can affect physical and cognitive performance. Aim for half your bodyweight in ounces of water daily.
4. Use the Hydro Lean Method:
1. Drink water upon waking 2. Drink water between meals 3. Drink water before and after a meal to increase satiety 4. Don't drink water during a meal, as it increases eating speed
This system will keep you hydrated, alert, and full.
The fastest way to burn fat isn’t intermittent fasting, keto, or carnivore.
Research shows a method that can help you lose 7 to 15 pounds of fat in 14 days without losing muscle.
It’s called the Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF).
Here's how you do it:
Most rapid fat-loss methods melt muscle along with fat.
The PSMF is different.
It was originally used in medical settings to help people lose weight fast while preserving muscle and strength.
The entire method revolves around one principle: Protein stays high. Everything else stays low.
Here’s how it works.
On PSMF, you eat:
- 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight
- Carbs under 20–45 grams
- Minimizing fat intake to only what comes with lean protein sources (no added fats).
Protein spares your muscles. Fat and carbs stay low to accelerate fat loss.
