When you drink you make poor food choices & your body focuses on burning alcohol so what you eat is stored as fat.
Alcohol is also full of empty calories so it's an all around fat loss killer.
- hurts sleep quality
- increases estrogen levels
- tanks muscle-building ability
- hyperinflammatory to all cells
- lowers leptin (fat burning) hormone
Limit to 4 drinks or less per week for best results
Building muscle turns you into a fat-burning machine
For every lb of muscle you add you burn an extra 6 calories per day AT REST
This means the more muscle you build the more food you'll be able to eat while losing fat
Lifting schedules/splits by day:
Upper-Lower: (Upper, Lower, Rest, Upper, Lower, Rest, Rest, Repeat)
PPL: (Push, Pull, Legs, Rest, Repeat)
Full body: (FB, Rest, FB, Rest, FB, Rest, Rest, Repeat)
Push(chest/tris/delts): bench, push-ups, incline bench, dips, skull crushers, lateral shoulder raises
Pull(back/bis): pronated pulldowns/pullups, neutral grip rows, reverse flys, bicep curls
Legs: squat, romanian deadlift, hip thrust, leg extension, hamstring curl
- train each muscle group 2x per 7-10 days
- progressively increase weight/reps
- 6-20 sets per body part per week
- controlled lowering of your reps
- train hard in the 5-20 rep range
- take 5g creatine daily
- high protein diet
- optimize sleep
A calorie deficit is necessary for fat loss.
Track your calories so you can guarantee you're in a deficit & losing fat at a sustainable rate.
You should aim to create a 500-1000 calorie deficit while eating 1g of protein per lb bodyweight daily.
Sleep is vital for health and workout performance/recovery.
It will also help you make better food choices and stay energized all day.
Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep to make sure you aren't missing out on gains.
- dark and cool sleeping environment
- no screen time 1 hr before bed
- same sleep/wake time daily
- 15+ mins morning sunlight
- warm shower before bed
- solid bedtime routine
The benefits of sunlight for health and fitness are overlooked.
Most of you are missing out on them by spending 90% of your time indoors.
Get outside daily to assist your goals and optimize your health.
- improves sleep
- increases vitamin D
- improves fat burning
- improves hormone profile
- more energy = better workouts
- improved mood = better choices
This is a short list of the benefits, get outside and embrace one of nature's greatest gifts.
Electrolytes play a huge role in workout performance and satiety.
80-90% of people are deficient in them, especially in magnesium.
Add magnesium chloride and quality sea salt to your water to improve your workout performance and health.
- improved exercise performance
- regulated blood pressure
- reduced stress + anxiety
- less unnecessary hunger
- improved sleep quality
- improved heart health
- improved immunity
- improved cognition
Improving your nutrition will help your body transformation go smoothly.
You'll have more energy, be in a better mood, and sleep great.
These factors combined will make you feel like a superhuman and help you crush your workouts.
- pasture-raised eggs
- grass-fed beef
- sweet potato
- blueberries
- avocado
- salmon
- sardines
- shellfish
- oysters
- broccoli
- liver
Base 80-90% of your diet around these foods to optimize your health and results.
To increase calorie burn you should move throughout the day
Otherwise, you'll have to eat fewer calories to lose fat
Your goal should be to eat as many calories as possible while being in a calorie deficit
A great movement goal is 10K+ steps per day
- take walks while on calls
- walk your dog often
- take 10 min walks multiple times per day
- get a standing desk or treadmill desk
- find an active hobby such as hiking
All of these tips WORK.
