Correct

The amount of exercise required to overcome overeating is essentially impossible for most people

Exercise: start small, easy and sustainable. Then build these habits and add to routine over time. Once you're in a good habit, it's second nature, and easy to add to.

That way one day of 20 mins of training one day a week, can quickly grow to 3 or 4 days training, with short or long recovery walks on off training days. Walking is one of the best and easiest hacks for health and wellbeing

I am a big fan of couch to 5k (running), as it eases us in

One of the biggest hacks to help with fitness is taking recovery seriously and having rest days. For instance sleep (do as I say, not as I do), protein, carbs, creatine, zinc, B vitamins, electrolytes and magnesium will all play a part in getting you back on the horse at your best

For me, I stopped eating breakfast and have only coffee most mornings. I'm usually not even hungry until around lunch, so it works better for me to save those calories for later in the day.

Drink water, coffee, Gatorade zeros if you need electrolytes.

Start skipping breakfast and get stuff done in the mornings.

Focus your meals all around proteins and healthy fats. If you start doing this you’ll see you won’t even have room for processed carbs and you’ll feel full longer.

Focus on moving around more instead of needing to get straight into the gym.

Oh and if you’re still binge drinking on weekends you know the answer.

If you're hungry at night, go brush your teeth. I never want to eat after that.

When lifting, time under tension and slowing on the eccentric portion of the lift builds strength like nothing else. It’s way more important to go hard to the point of failure than try and hit your designated rep count.

My 20-30 something dumbass thought I could outrun a horrendous diet... I was 5'10, 235lbs and ran 6-8 miles/day 5 times a week. I even had a water belt.

Ever seen a fat guy run with a water belt? People probably wondered what I was running from.

I'd get back from running, eat a whole pizza and drink a 12 pack of Miller Lite.

Then I got healthy in my 40s. Lost 50 lbs, added some back in muscle. STOPPED RUNNING... made me too hungry and worse- my hips and legs are F'd now.


My fitness hack- no alcohol unless it's a social event. I look at a calendar and plan my drinking days out like Tiger plans which tours he plays in a year.

But I also fast every Monday and do keto on the other days.

And lift weights and do some cardio.

And Metamucil every day... Game changer.

Getting in about 10,000 to 15,000 steps daily

Park farther in parking lots and walk
Take the stairs when u can
Only drink water

If you need to lose weight start cutting out 250-500 calories everyday
Get a food scale if you unsure of serving sizes. You will be surprised

You don’t need keto or intermittent fasting or the next trendy diet.
You don’t want to cut out sugar or carbs completely. You will fail

Alcohol is killing your progress
