Calorie counting is a pain in the ass.

Yes, it works.
But it’s annoying and time-consuming.

Here’s the exact blueprint I’d use to drop 30 lbs of stubborn fat (WITHOUT counting calories):

1. STOP eating 3 hours before bed Image Burning fat isn’t just about what you eat.
It’s about when.

That 3 hour time window before bed:

→ Improves digestion
→ Improves fat-burning overnight
→ Helps you wake up feeling lighter and more energized

The real American epidemic is visceral fat.

But most people don't know how dangerous this type of "belly fat" is...
