17/7 Fasting Window.
Instead of eating 3x a day within a 13 hr feeding window (7am - 8pm).
Jon ate 2x a day within a 7 hr feeding window (10am - 5pm).
A longer period with no food helps supercharge:
β’ weight loss
β’ mental clarity
β’ overall energy

Prioritise 7.5+ hrs of Sleep.
Jon's sleep hygiene was awful.
He was averaging about 5 hrs of sleep a night.
It took him around an hour to get to sleep.
Then, when he'd wake up.
He often felt tired, low and lacked motivation.
Then, we introduced these changes:

Strength Training 5x Weekly.
Each of Jon's session consists of 6 exercises of 3 sets.
2 warm-up sets and then 1 all out "rest/pause" set,
1st warm-up = 60% of final weight.
2nd warm-up = 80% of final weight.
Then, for his main set, he did an all-out "rest/pause" set.

Do another 3-4 reps to failure.
(Rest 15 seconds)
Then, do another 2-3 reps to failure.

Train Legs Every Session.
If you don't train legs, you'll ruin your gains.
But, also, you'll make it hard to lose weight too.
Instead of a dedicated leg day, we did one leg movement per session.
The best 3 are:
β’ Front squats
β’ Zercher squats
β’ Hex bar deadlifts

What about cardio?
There was none.
Instead, we focused on strength training combined with getting Jon to move often.
Outside of his strength session.
Jon walked 30 mins in the morning and then 30 mins before bed.
The important thing: he moved his body regularly.

Elite Hydration.
Jon's drinking habits were dreadful.
He was guzzling over 4 litres of tap water a day.
Tap water is unstructured and usually high in enviro-toxins.
This makes it awful for your health and poor for hydration.

Instead, we did this:
We got Jon drinking glass bottled water until he could install a reverse osmosis machine.
But, even better, we included electrolytes.
A proven formula:
β’ Celtic Salt
β’ Zeta aid
β’ San Pellegrino
β’ Magnesium chloride
4 magic minerals that'll supercharge your health and mood.

Optimise Digestion.
Jon's digestion was bad.
For 7 years, he suffered with debilitating constipation.
Turns out, he was taking 15+ different supplements, all full of:
β’ Fillers
β’ Additives
β’ Colourings
Most of them toxic for the gut.

Jon wrestled with low confidence and self-doubt.
Every morning, Jon did a "priming" technique.
This was pivotal in helping him cultivate a positive mindset.
You win the morning, you win the day.
