Calorie counting is a pain in the ass.

Yes, it works.
But it’s annoying and time-consuming.

Here’s the exact blueprint I’d use to drop 30 lbs of stubborn fat (WITHOUT counting calories):

1. STOP eating 3 hours before bed

Burning fat isn’t just about what you eat.
It’s about when.

That 3 hour time window before bed:

→ Improves digestion
→ Improves fat-burning overnight
→ Helps you wake up feeling lighter and more energized

2. Lift weights 3 times per week. That's it.

Pick compound movements that hit multiple muscles:
• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Bench press
• Rows

Progress each week. Small increases compound over time.

I've helped busy professionals lose 30+ pounds lifting just 3x weekly for 45 minutes.

The other 165 hours of your week matter more for fat loss than your gym time.

3. Eat 3x per day

Snacking all day spikes your blood sugar and leads to insulin resistance.

On the other hand…

Eating 3x per day gives your body time to burn stored fat for energy levels.

If you want to melt fat, try time restricted eating.

Eat your meals during an 8-10 hour time window to burn fat while you sleep.

8 hours: 10am-6pm
10 hours: 9am-7pm (better for beginners)

4. Drink 16oz of water before EVERY meal.

This one habit
• Crushes cravings
• Improves digestion
• Boosts metabolism

Carry a water bottle everywhere.
Aim for half your body weight in ounces.

5. Start every meal with a fist of protein

Protein keeps you full and burns more calories during digestion.

Think chicken, eggs, fish, steak…

Starting your meal with protein means you’ll naturally eat less junk AND feel satisfied.

6. Add one fist of vegetables

Don't remove anything - just add them and start your meal with them.

The fiber helps you naturally eat less of everything else.

And it does wonders for gut health.

Some healthy meals to get you lean (that actually taste good):

7. Walk for 15 minutes after dinner

Just 10 minutes creates the mindset shift from "exercise = punishment" to "movement = normal."

Start with just 10 minutes and add 2 minutes a day until you hit 30.

By January, walking will feel like second nature.

8. Stop relying on cardio to lose fat

You don’t need to spend hours on a treadmill.

The reality is, it’s easier to stop eating junk than try to burn off the calories doing cardio.

Instead:
→ Lift weights to increase your metabolism
→ Walk 7-10k steps/day

Most guys try to lose fat through:

• Restrictive diets
• Hours of cardio
• Quick fixes

Then gain it all back.

But if you want to get it off and keep it off...
