1. Stop drinking alcohol

Every drink slows recovery, disrupts sleep, dehydrates you, and blunts muscle growth.

It also spikes empty calories that stall fat loss while increasing your chances of gaining visceral fat.

Alcohol makes everything harder. Best to get rid of it.
2. Strength training is a non-negotiable

Ideally, we want to do 3-4 workouts a week, targeting our main muscles 2x per week.

Focus on frequency and metabolic stress while prioritizing recovery to boost your gains.
3. Progressive overload is the secret

Get stronger using the same core lifts:

Presses, rows, squats/leg press, deadlifts, lunges, pull-downs.

Add accessory movements to fill out the rest of your workout days.

Aim to add 5 pounds or more reps to each exercise each week.
4. Focus on the Nutrition Trifecta

Quantity + quality + timing = Easier and more effective fat loss.

Cut at least 500+ calories from your diet each week.

Get calories from single-ingredient, nutrient-dense foods while eating .8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Find a schedule to eat so you can automate hunger.
5. Move outside of the gym

Get at least 7-10,000 steps per day.

Make it easier on yourself by getting a treadmill desk.

Walk while in meetings, watching TV, or any activity you can think of.
6. Make things easier with sleep

No screens before bed, last meal early, blackout shades, cool room.

Poor sleep wrecks appetite, hormones, and recovery.

Master sleep hygiene and you’ll accelerate fat loss and muscle gain.
7. Create a body dashboard

What you measure is what you manage.

Daily weigh-ins (7-day average), weekly waist, monthly photos.

Forget perfection and stick to the plan.

The holy grail effect happens when you manage the process, not chase hacks.
No matter what anyone says, it is possible to gain muscle while you are losing fat as long as you do the right things.

Follow this protocol and follow me @FitFounder to get lean, healthy, and energetic in 2025 and beyond.

I'm 45.

Here are 8 things no one tells you about working out as you get older:
1. Recovery slows down

After you hit 40, the same session you did in your 20s can leave you sore for days.

You will find that your muscles, tendons & nervous system might need longer.

Now you need to prioritize rest as much as training.
2. Sleep is the #1 performance enhancer

As you get older, you start to run into more circadian dysfunction.

At this point, sleep has to be the priority because growth hormone, recovery, and fat loss all tank without it.

Train hard but sleep harder.

If I woke up 20 pounds overweight and wanted to lose it all by the end of this year, this is EXACTLY what I'd do:

1. Eliminate alcohol. When you drink, your body prioritizes burning it first. Trying to burn fat while drinking alcohol is playing the game on hard mode.
2. Multiply your bodyweight by 12. That will be your daily calorie intake.

3. Multiply your bodyweight by .8. That will be the daily grams of protein you need to eat to maintain/build muscle while burning fat.

4. To keep it easy, focus on hitting your calories and protein.
5. Set the right meal schedule:

- Last meal 3 to 5 hours before bed
- First meal 1-2 hours upon waking
- Second meal between them

6. Eat a breakfast containing 40g of protein to regulate hunger and appetite at night while building muscle.

One of the healthiest breads on the planet is sourdough.

It's not just bread. It's a gut-boosting, blood sugar-regulating superfood disguised as a carb.

Here are 6 reasons why you should be eating more sourdough bread: Image
Btw, sourdough is different because it's baked the old school way.

The dough ferments for hours (sometimes days), letting live cultures break down gluten, carbs, and anti-nutrients.

While modern bread is usually rushed, sourdough is patiently crafted, which has a tremendous impact on your health.
1. It's easier to digest

During fermentation, enzymes break down much of the gluten & complex starches.

That’s why many people who struggle with regular bread can eat sourdough without the bloating, heaviness, or gut issues.

One of the most dangerous types of fat in the world is Visceral fat.

It wraps around your organs, bloats your belly, and is a silent killer.

Here’s a workout you can do to eliminate it from your body once and for all 👇 Image
Why is visceral fat so dangerous?

· Increases inflammation
· Raises heart disease & diabetes risk
· Shrinks brain regions tied to memory & focus
· Disrupts hormones & appetite

This is the real belly fat that shortens lifespan.

But here’s the good news: it’s reversible.
The 3 best workouts proven to melt visceral fat:

1. High-Frequency Strength Training
2. Moderate-Intensity Walking
3. High-Intensity Cardio (HIIT)

Each attack fat from a different angle, and together, they form the world’s most effective workout system to delete visceral fat.

7 walking hacks to help you burn more fat and live longer (COPY THIS):
#1 - Japanese Interval Walking

Alternate 3 min fast, 3 min slow × 30 min.

Studies show it burns more fat, lowers blood pressure, & boosts VO₂ max better than steady walking.
#2 - Incline Walking

A 5% grade burn can lead to up to 50% more calories burned.

A 10% grade can double it.

Bonus: It puts less stress on the knees since hips + glutes take more load.
