If I were 30lbs overweight with a big belly & my goal was to become unrecognizable by summer 2026, here's everything I'd do:

1. Cut out alcohol as much as possible. It kills your sleep, recovery, fat loss, gut health, and more. 2. Prioritize protein. I'd aim for 40 grams or more per meal. 1g protein/lb bodyweight or goal bodyweight (if you're extremely overweight) daily should be your target. It will help you feel more full, burn more calories, and build muscle. (I'll list some foods later)

- Kills hunger
- Builds muscle
- Burns more calories just digesting

But most people think high-protein meals are boring and take ages to cook.

Here are 9 tasty and quick high-protein meals (bookmark this):🧵
