If I had magically woke up with a big belly today & my goal was to become unrecognizable by summer 2025, here's everything I'd do:
1. 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)

For years I wanted to get lean but struggled to lose fat.
Then I cut below 10% body fat in 12 weeks.
This made me realize how simple fat loss can be.
Here are 9 tips that will help you simplify the process for yourself in 2025:
1. Cut down on alcohol
Alcohol puts fat loss on hard mode.
When you drink you make poor food choices & your body focuses on burning off the booze first.
Alcohol also contains empty calories. Pair that with trash food & your body is in a position to easily GAIN fat.

Creatine is not a steroid.
It’s the one supplement everyone should be taking
You, your mom, dad, siblings, and especially your grandparents.
Give me 2 minutes & I’ll tell you about the benefits + how to supplement it properly:
Creatine is the MOST studied supplement in nutrition.
For years it was viewed as a “steroid” because the average person didn’t understand what it was.
This created a false stigma around it.
It’s actually proven 100% safe & effective, here’s why you should be taking it:

B.S.

BREAKFAST:
1. Massive Omelet
- 1-2 eggs, 1-2 cups egg whites
- as much of any veggies you like

Funny enough, I make nearly the exact same omelette as in video below

After 14 years in the gym, here’s every tip I have to help you get your body in shape in 2025:
1. Doing cardio doesn’t guarantee fat loss. You can’t lose fat without a calorie deficit, this means calories out > calories in across 24hrs. It takes seconds to eat 400 calories from a slice of pizza. It takes 30+ minutes of cardio to burn it off. Nutrition must be priority #1.

You've been lied to over and over again.
The American health system's goal is for you to be a lifelong customer, not to make you healthy.
Time to debunk 7 myths they've told you for years:
Myth #1: Eggs raise your cholesterol
BS.
Eggs don't negatively impact your cholesterol.
This cool N=1 experiment showed eating more eggs to improve cholesterol levels.

Harsh truth:
No matter how much you exercise, you won’t lose fat until you fix your diet.
But most people don’t realize there are simple ways to enhance results.

Harsh truth:
Carrying excess body fat causes inflammation in your body.
This increases your risk of:
- Cancer
- Alzheimer’s
- Heart Disease
Since your doctor won’t help you drop it here are 11 tips that will:
1. Stop relying on cardio to lose fat.
The only way you lose fat is by creating a calorie deficit.
This is when calories burned > calories consumed across 24 hours.
It takes 30 seconds to eat 400 calories eating a slice of pizza.
It takes 30 minutes to burn 400 cals running.
This is why Diet > Cardio for fat loss.

Here are the 9 things I'd do to get lean again ASAP:
(Bookmark for SIMPLE fat loss) 1. I'd cut down on alcohol. It kills your hormones, sleep, and when you drink your body wants to burn alcohol calories first so what you eat is easily stored as fat.

3. Health & fitness 101: eat a nutritious + high protein diet, get sunlight, lift weights, take walks, do cardio, prioritize quality sleep, it’s SIMPLE.

25% of adults deal with lower back pain at any given time.
Many believe it’s chronic & unfixable.
FALSE.
At 16 I found out I had a herniated disc in my lumbar spine.
Years of pain & right foot numbness followed.
But now I’m 31 and symptom free.
Here’s how I fixed it:

2. Nutrition is everything, you'll NEVER outwork a poor diet. 3. You don't gain weight because of age, you do because you stop moving. 4. Carbs and sugar don't make you fat, eating too many calories does. 5. Getting fit is more a mental challenge than a physical one.

Every fitness tip I have after 14 years in the gym:
1. Stop trying to out cardio your shitty diet.
Speaking from experience, trying to out cardio a poor diet is foolish.
You can eat 400 calories from a slice of pizza in less than a minute.
Meanwhile it takes 30 minutes of running to burn 400 calories.
Fix your diet or you'll never see the eye-popping results you want.
