Getting lean is stupidly simple.

They made it confusing so you'd keep buying meal plans and fat burners.

Here are 9 things I did to lose fat without tracking a single calorie🧵:

1. Prioritize protein at every meal.
Protein boosts satiety and requires the most energy to digest (thermic effect).

It keeps you full, curbs cravings, and preserves lean muscle while cutting fat.

No tracking. Just eat a fist-sized portion every time.
2. Build muscle with resistance training

Muscle tissue burns calories around the clock, even at rest.

More muscle = higher resting metabolic rate.

Lift 3–4x per week. You’ll burn fat in your sleep.
3. Sleep 7–9 hours every night (and take magnesium)

Sleep regulates leptin, ghrelin, and insulin.

Just one night of poor sleep increases hunger and glucose levels the next day.

Magnesium helps you relax and stay in deep sleep longer.

Fixing my sleep fixed my cravings.
Here's some great Magnesium Glycinate gummies.

They're good quality, third-party tested, and very easy to consume.

4. Eat in an 8–10 hour window

Time-restricted eating improves insulin sensitivity and amplifies fat burning.

You don’t need to count...

just compress the window and cut late-night snacking.

Start your first meal later, stop eating earlier.
5. Walk 10k steps daily

Walking lowers cortisol, balances blood sugar, and increases fat oxidation.

It keeps insulin low and energy high, without stressing your body.

It’s the simplest metabolic cheat code on Earth. Image
6. Cut out liquid calories

Juice, soda, even “healthy” smoothies spike glucose without filling you up.

They silently sabotage fat loss with zero satiety.

Water, black coffee, and tea only.

Game changer.
7. Take berberine before high-carb meals

Berberine mimics metformin, improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

It helps shuttle glucose into muscle, not fat.

500mg before your biggest meal can make a visible difference.
If you are looking to try Berberine, I've found a great, common, reputable source.

It's 100% natural, high quality, and optimized for absorption.

8. Walk after meals

A 10-minute walk after eating cuts post-meal glucose spikes in half.

This keeps insulin low and fat burning on.

Stack this with berberine for a lethal combo.
9. Cut processed seed oils

Seed oils wreck your mitochondria and inflame your fat-storing hormones.

They’re in nearly all packaged foods.

Stick to olive oil, avocado oil, and grass-fed butter.

You’ll feel it fast.
No gimmicks. No spreadsheets.

Just real habits that rewire your metabolism.

Fat loss doesn’t need to be complicated...

Simplicity works when it’s strategic.
I strive to help you better understand your body and take steps towards better health.

That stubborn belly fat isn’t from age...

It’s from sky-high cortisol that’s been building for years.

Here are 9 ways to lower stress hormones and unlock fat loss (without crash diets)🧵

1. Stop doing “fat-burning" cardio.
Chronic cardio (like long runs or spin) increases cortisol.

Why? Your body treats it like stress... especially fasted or extended.

Instead, do zone 2 walking + 2–3x weekly heavy strength training.

That combo burns fat without spiking stress.
2. Train your body to exhale longer.

Most people breathe shallow and fast.

That keeps the nervous system in fight-or-flight (survival state).

Use box breathing:

Inhale 4s → Hold 4s → Exhale 6–8s → Hold 4s

Do 3 rounds post-workout or before bed. Instant cortisol drop.

Poor sleep is silently wrecking your health.

It disrupts your hormones, slows fat loss, and fogs up your brain.

Here are 10 foods backed by science that help you sleep deeper and wake up recharged🧵

1. Kiwi
This fruit is surprisingly powerful for sleep.

High in serotonin + antioxidants, which regulate your sleep cycle.

People who ate 2 kiwis an hour before bed fell asleep 42% faster and slept more soundly.
2. Tart cherry juice

Tart cherry juice is nature’s melatonin.

It’s one of the few natural sources of this sleep hormone.

In one study, drinking 2 cups per day led to 84 more minutes of sleep.

Drink it 1–2 hours before bed for maximum effect.

Blood sugar spikes silently destroy your testosterone.

They cause fat storage, energy crashes, and hormonal chaos.

Here are 10 tricks to flatten the glucose curve and stay hormonally optimized all day🧵

1. Extra virgin olive oil with every meal.
Extra virgin olive oil can cut early glucose spikes by ~50% when eaten with carbs.

It also boosts GLP‑1, your body’s blood sugar regulator.

The result? Flatter glucose curves and less hormonal chaos.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon on everything.
2. Eat protein first at every meal

Eating protein before carbs slows gastric emptying and blunts glucose spikes.

This helps prevent the cortisol surges that crash your energy and hormones.

Start every meal with 20–30g protein.

The most misunderstood hormone on Earth:

Cortisol.

They let us believe it's just a stress hormone.

But didn't tell us it controls where you store fat, when you build muscle, and how long you live.

Here's what you need to know (& how to save yourself)🧵
Cortisol doesn't just respond to stress.

It regulates key aspects of your metabolism.

When cortisol spikes, your body switches from "build mode" to "survive mode."

Fat burning stops. Muscle building shuts down. Inflammation skyrockets.
Here's what high cortisol does to your body:

- Redirects fat storage to your visceral fat
- Breaks down muscle tissue for glucose
- Suppresses testosterone and growth hormone
- Disrupts sleep cycles
- Increases insulin resistance

The belly fat connection is brutal:

Testosterone isn't just a sex hormone.

It builds muscle, burns fat, and sharpens your focus.

Here are 9 all natural ways to boost your testosterone without pills🧵

1. Pomegranate
One glass of pomegranate juice a day boosted testosterone by 24% in just 2 weeks.

It improves mood, libido, and nitric oxide levels.
2. Grass-fed beef & liver

Packed with zinc, B12, heme iron, and amino acids.

Organ meats were sacred in ancient tribes for a reason.

Liver is testosterone fuel.
