Getting shredded is just as good as you think it’ll be.
No matter how much excess fat you have, every 5lbs lost means…
More energy
More confidence
A more attractive face/physique
Unfortunately most will never get there…

Why?
Because they keep making the same blunders, over and over again.
I’ve been coaching 1-on-1 for 12 years now…
I’ve trained 300+ clients…
In which time I’ve learned (and admittedly made) every mistake in the book.
It took me a long time to figure these out…

I don’t want the same for you.
You deserve to have a physique you’re proud of…
And if you’re putting in the work, you deserve to see results.
So let’s get into it…

1. Too much cardio
You’re not Forrest Gump
Stop running.
Thinking cardio is the key to fat loss is the #1 mistake I see people making all the time.
More likely you’ll end up hurting yourself and make things worse.
(Walking > running if you have a lot of weight to lose)

2. Not tracking calories
Oh you want to wing it?
How’s that going so far?
You’ve got to learn how many calories you are really consuming
You should definitely track for a while to gain a deeper understanding
If that’s too much effort, you probably don’t want it that bad

3. Not eating enough protein
Almost no one eats enough protein.
0.8g/lb bodyweight is the minimum you should aim for.
Not eating enough protein = more hunger and cravings = you mindlessly snacking = you blowing out your calories = you gaining weight

4. Believing you can’t get there with bodyweight training only
You can get just as jacked and shredded with bodyweight as you can in the gym.
Do which ever you prefer.
I am living proof.

5. Focusing on how many calories you’re burning
You will never be able to get an accurate measurement here
Don’t sweat it
Eat a little more on days you go hard
Little less on rest days
Easy

6. Eating 5-6 meals a day
Don’t bother.
It’s super inconvenient and makes it 1000x more likely you’ll quit.
2-4 is best and it keeps things simple.

7. Believing a big breakfast is the key to fat loss
We all love breakfast…
But stuffing a full english or a tray of pancakes down your gullet at 9am will do more harm than it will good
For most people the best breakfast is relatively small, high in protein and low in carbs

8. Avoiding all carbs
Carbs = fat gain.
Right?
Wrong.
Carbs are necessary and good.
It’s true that most people eat way too many but that’s no reason to avoid them all together.
Use them immediately before/after workouts for max effect.
And avoid heavily processed food.
