But most people don’t know there are simple ways to hack your eating to get better results.
Here are 21 eating hacks that will lead to greater fat loss:
1. Avoid drinking alcohol. It's negative calories, ruins sleep, and makes you hungrier while lowering your energy and focus the next day.
2. Chew your food until it becomes liquid. this improves digestion and increases your feelings of fullness.
3. Eat from smaller plates as this tricks your brain into thinking it had more food.
4. Stop eating in your car. Stop eating with a phone in your face. Stop eating in front of a TV. Avoid all forms of distracted eating to be more mindful of your feelings of fulness.
5. To lower cholesterol levels add psyllium husk to water or your protein shakes.
6. Don't eat until you're stuffed. Make a habit of eating until you're 80% full to improve digestion, energy levels, and weight loss.
7. Take a walk after a meal to improve digestion and energy levels.
8. Drink water before and after your meals to increase your feelings of fullness.
9. Try to avoid drinking water with meals to avoid eating your food faster.
10. If you have trouble snacking at night, it's because you didn't have enough nutrition earlier in the day.
11. 14. Brush and floss your teeth after dinner to prevent nighttime snacking.
12. Volumize your food with vegetables to feel fuller at each meal.
13. Dine on blue plates. Research shows people eat less if there is a high contrast in colors between the plate & the food with blue being the color people ate the least.
14. When cutting weight use potatoes as your carb source. Potatoes are the best at improving fullness levels.
15. Drink soup before meals. Research shows drinking low-calorie-dense soups at the start of a meal can reduce food intake by as much as 20%.
16. When eating out avoid the bread bowl. This adds unnecessary calories while amping up your appetite before eating a meal.
17. Stop eating foods that cause you to overeat. This sounds simple but there are some foods you can't stop eating when you consume them. Avoid them.
18. Eat similar meals every single day. This makes eating simple, removes decision making, and helps you hit your macros and calories consistently.
19. Avoid eating things out of the bag as this can cause overeating. Instead, put your portion on a plate and put the bag away.
20. Stop eating your emotions. This will only numb them, which causes them to come back later.
21. Instead of trying to avoid "bad foods" focus on eating healthy ones. This helps create an identity that eats healthy foods.

23 things I wish I knew for faster, easier fat loss:
1. Stop drinking alcohol. Trying to lose weight while drinking alcohol is playing the game on hard mode. Give it up and bring it back once you've hit your target.
2. Take 5 grams of creatine a day to help support muscle growth, recovery, and workout performance. Take 10+ grams for the mental benefits.
3. Stop using your workouts to burn fat. Use them to build muscle. When you hit the gym try to do a bit more in strength, volume, or both.
4. The best workouts are repeated over 12 weeks or longer. You can't get better if you keep on changing your exercises.
5. Front load your workouts & backload your calories. This means getting your workouts done earlier in the day and saving the bulk of your calories at the end.
If you want to create the healthiest home on the planet, read this:
Your home can be the biggest source of sickness or health.
The air you breathe. The water you drink. The light you see.
Most people focus on diet and exercise but ignore the 90% of time spent indoors.
If I were to build the healthiest home on the planet, here's what I do 👇
1. AIR: Clean Your Lungs
· HEPA filters in main rooms
· Keep humidity at 40-60% (get a cheap hygrometer)
· Open windows when air quality is good
· Clean your A/C regularly (mold grows fast)
They said hamburgers was junk food, but the truth is they are one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
You only need 5 key ingredients.
Here's how to make it:
1. The Bun
Sourdough is the healthiest bread on the planet.
The fermentation process breaks down gluten and phytic acid for easier digestion while lowering the glycemic index, unlocking more nutrients and minerals for your body to absorb.
2. The Pattie
Grass fed beef is a superfood.
It's rich in heart-healthy Omega-3s, antioxidants like Vitamin E, CLA (which is a cancer-fighting fat), and key nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins.
