does t actually make U gain weight or is that false

Yes and no.

Testosterone actually makes it much easier to LOSE weight. With high testosterone you burn fat and calories faster, and you have a faster metabolism.

The issue is that people low in testosterone go on T and aren't prepared for how hungry T makes you. T increases your appetite but it specifically is increasing your appetite for PROTEIN because you're building muscle. People don't know this, so instead they eat junk food or food high in carbs, which puts more fat on them (and often leaves them still feeling hungry because their nutritional requirements aren't being met).

Really it's about self-discipline (not just eating whenever you're hungry—this goes especially if you have bad eating habits/eat when bored already, since T will make you more hungry more often) and proper diet (if you get hungry, try eating some protein instead of junk food or something high in carbs).

If you're going on T and eat the exact same amount of food on the same diet as you ate before T, and when you get hunger cravings you just eat lean protein, you are practically guaranteed to lose weight.

Really, a well-balanced diet with supplemental protein is the way to go. It's best to keep in mind that if you're eating at a steady caloric intake for longer than 4 weeks but you're still having hunger cravings, it's not because you're hungry for food in general, but instead because there's something specific that's missing out of your diet. Try eating more vegetables, or more fruits, or more lean protein, or more nuts for a few days, and see if that helps resolve anything. Also try not to eat processed foods, they're the death of you.

Also, if you're intending to bulk (see: put on more muscle) you will get very intense hunger cravings during and after workouts. Those are actually protein cravings. Eat more lean protein. YOU CANNOT BUILD MUSCLE WITHOUT PROTEIN.

Chookas!

It is so inspiring hearing about your weight loss :) i was wondering if you had any particular weight loss tips you’d like to share? I went through a period of weight loss myself, but have lately gained back a lot of what I’ve lost and I’d like to know if there’s anything that helped you get back on the wagon. Love your blog btw!

Don’t be too hard on yourself, its rough out here especially in the US. it’s easy to accidentally slip up and gain 15 pounds just by eating a lil extra every day.

Some things that helped me:

Intermittent fasting, only a 13 hour window though. The 16:8 was too much for me and with women it can screw with your hormones if you’re not careful.

Drinking lots of water. Like a ton. I put those hydration multiplier electrolyte packets in my water as well.

Get good quality sleep. I got some Brooklinen sheets and they are 100% worth it. Definitely improved my sleep quality. I also have a really nice down duvet and an Egyptian cotton cover for it. I also have a silk eye mask and a silk pillowcase from Slip that I love. Sleep is extremely important.

Get 10k steps a day or at least just walk as much as you can. I’m sedentary a lot for school/work/etc. so I absolutely have to get out and walk and get moving. Even if you just aim for a mile or two a day it’ll greatly help.

If you don’t want to lift weights that’s okay. It’s not for everyone. I used to be super into powerlifting and got pretty muscular but it doesn’t excite me like it used to. I do a mix now of walking, jogging, pilates, rollerblading, cycling, kickboxing, swimming, yoga, ice skating, and weightlifting. That way I’m never bored and the variety allows me to choose what I want to do.

Consistency is key. Doing 4 workouts a week at a light/medium intensity is better than doing 1-2 a week of super high intensity and burning yourself out. Every little bit helps.

I do a full body stretch every day. This is super important. Our bodies get so stiff during the day. If you don’t stretch this can lead to injuries when you try to do other things.

I love the sauna (and hot yoga too). If you can find and afford a gym that has a sauna, I would highly recommend. Sometimes I will just go and walk on the treadmill for 30-45 minutes and watch YouTube videos and then sit in the sauna. It’s the best.

Make sure you’re not deficient in anything. Take a complete multivitamin and get blood work done. I was severely deficient in vitamin D and it was making me depressed. Once I took a supplement, got more sun and got my levels up it really helped my overall health.

Cut out grains, sugar, junk food, fried foods, etc. and just eat real foods. Anything with a long ingredient list usually isn’t a good idea. It’ll take a minute to get used to it but once you start eating almost exclusively vegetables, fruits, proteins, and healthy fats you won’t miss it. I have such a big sweet tooth sometimes I’ll have to eat like five servings of berries with a few tablespoons of honey just to satisfy it, but that’s better than ice cream or candy any day.

Don’t deprive or starve yourself. I eat as healthy as I can manage 80-90% of the time. But every once and a while I will eat a huge plate of pasta, gelato, tiramisu, croissants, those types of foods that I love. It’s not helpful to punish yourself and you gotta live a little.

I got a smart scale in my bathroom, the one I got is from FitIndex. It has an app that connects to your phone and it syncs to other health apps. it shows you body fat, muscle mass, water weight, everything. Honestly super triggering at first because I felt called out lol but now I step on it once a week just to make sure I’m on the right track.

You do not need a gym membership to workout. YouTube is the best. I love Yoga with Adrienne, MadFit, Move with Nicole, Charlie Follows, Vicky Justiz, and there’s a bunch of others. Find what you like and try to stick with it as much as you can.

Rest is super important. Don’t run yourself ragged. If you’re sore don’t force yourself to workout.

MyFitnessPal is super helpful. If you have a history of disordered eating this might not be for you but it’s good to be conscious of what you’re eating. Figure out what you need to lose fat/maintain/gain muscle and then track to see where you’re at and adjust accordingly.

Eat more protein. Protein, healthy fats, and fiber keep you full. You will be starving if you eat only salads. Fruit smoothies with protein, protein oats, salmon, yogurt, eggs, etc.

Get cute workout gear. It makes it more fun for me to workout with my pink towels, my pink hydroflask, my lululemon yoga mat, I have a baby blue jumprope and pink dumbbells and pastel colored resistance bands for at home workouts. A lot of my workout clothes are from lululemon, alo yoga, free people, and aerie. I have some of those blender bottles in cute colors for preworkout, protein powder, super greens powder, electrolyte mixes, etc. Some of this stuff is pricy but I’d rather be investing in my health than paying medical bills down the road so it’s 100% worth it to me.

The only way to see permanent change is to make it a lifestyle. Unfortunately you can’t just go back to eating unhealthy foods once you hit a certain goal. Those models who say they live exclusively off of pizza and pasta and cheeseburgers are lying through their teeth. It’s perfectly healthy to have days off where you indulge or don’t exercise but most of the time you’ll have to find ways to eat healthy and exercise and prioritize your health.

What are some common weight loss myths and misconceptions?

Here are some of the common weight loss myths and misconceptions in a straightforward way:

“Carbs make you fat”: Carbs aren’t the enemy. It’s more about the type and quantity. Whole grains, fruits, and veggies are good carbs. Processed carbs like white bread and sugary snacks are the ones to watch out for.

“You need to exercise like crazy”: While exercise is important, weight loss is mostly about diet. You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Regular, moderate exercise combined with healthy eating is key.

“Skipping meals helps”: Skipping meals can backfire. It can slow down your metabolism and make you more likely to overeat later. Regular, balanced meals are better.

“Fat-free means healthy”: Not always. Fat-free products often have added sugars and other unhealthy ingredients to make up for the lack of fat. Healthy fats, like those in avocados and nuts, are good for you.

“Detox diets and cleanses work”: Your body naturally detoxes itself. Fancy cleanses can be unnecessary and sometimes harmful. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of water is a better way to support your body.

“All calories are equal”: Technically, yes, but where they come from matters. 100 calories of veggies aren’t the same as 100 calories of candy. Nutrient-dense foods are better for overall health and weight loss.

“You can target fat loss”: Spot reduction doesn’t work. You can’t choose where you lose fat. Overall weight loss through diet and exercise will eventually reduce fat everywhere.

“Supplements can replace meals”: Meal replacement shakes and supplements can be convenient but shouldn’t replace whole foods. They lack the complete nutrition that real food provides.

“Eating late at night makes you gain weight”: It’s not about when you eat, but what and how much you eat. Consuming a lot of calories late at night can lead to weight gain, but so can eating too much at any time of day.

“All diets work the same for everyone”: There’s no one-size-fits-all diet. Different bodies respond differently to various foods and eating patterns. What works for one person might not work for another.

“Healthy food is always expensive”: It can be, but there are plenty of affordable, healthy options like beans, lentils, seasonal fruits, and veggies. Planning and cooking at home can also help save money.

“You need to eat small, frequent meals to boost metabolism”: The frequency of meals doesn’t significantly impact metabolism. What matters more is the total calorie intake and the quality of the food.

“Drinking lots of water will flush out fat”: While staying hydrated is important, water alone won’t burn fat. It helps with overall health and can aid in weight loss by making you feel full, but it’s not a magic solution.

“Weight loss is linear”: Weight loss often involves ups and downs. You might lose a lot at first, then hit a plateau. It’s normal, and it’s important to stay consistent and patient.

“You have to give up all your favorite foods”: Moderation is key. You don’t have to completely eliminate your favorite foods, just enjoy them in smaller portions and less frequently.

“Strength training will make women bulky”: Strength training is great for building lean muscle and boosting metabolism. It’s very difficult for women to become bulky due to their hormone levels.

“Diet foods are always healthy”: Many foods labeled as “diet” or “low-fat” can be high in sugars, sodium, and artificial ingredients. Whole, unprocessed foods are often healthier choices.

“You can lose weight quickly and keep it off”: Quick fixes rarely lead to long-term success. Sustainable weight loss takes time, and maintaining it requires ongoing healthy habits.

“You need to go on a special diet”: Instead of a temporary diet, aim for long-term changes in your eating habits. Balance, variety, and moderation are more effective for sustainable weight loss.

“Only big changes count”: Small changes can add up over time. Swapping soda for water, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or adding a few extra veggies to your meals can make a big difference.

Remember, weight loss is personal and what works for one person might not work for another. The best approach is a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.

Pantalone Health Headcanons

This is a smorgasbord of headcanons about how fucked up pants' health would be. Most of them are inspired by @madamemachiko's pants fics/headcanons and the fic Alien Blues on ao3. Those two are my favourite flavours of Pantalone and they have permanently become part of my mental image for him.

I did my best research wise but I'm not an expert so I'm open to corrections/insight, and also wanna hear your thoughts!

ANYWAYS discussions of starvation and health complications

Starvation and diet

As a child on the streets he would either have no access to food or only access to scraps

He would go through long periods without sufficient nutrition and as such developed starvation ketoacidosis, which burned through all his body fat and ate away at his muscle mass as well. 

He’s also almost died of refeeding syndrome once or twice, which is when you overload your body with too many calories/nutrients after a period of starvation. 

To this day his body still cannot properly metabolize. He puts on weight very easily and it is difficult to gain muscle mass.

I wouldn’t say he’s fat or pudgy, no no, but because his body naturally clings onto all the fat it can get, he doesn’t exactly have a sculpted, defined body, and is kinda soft as a result. The only “definition” he has is his bonier features and whatever muscle he has managed to develop. 

This, combined with a sensitive stomach from years of eating… dubious meals, means he is very particular with portion control and dietary restrictions. Some meals he has developed an intolerance/inability to digest, and others he simply can’t stomach as they remind him of worse times. 

It has gotten better as he can a) afford food, and b) afford medical treatment, but by this point he’s accepted that this is just how his body is going to be for the rest of his life. 

He takes supplements, vitamins, and medicine to cover anything he’s missing as a result of his restrictions. 

Bonus: I headcanon Pantalone doesn’t actually care much for bougie dishes. His favourite foods are actually the really, really, really cheap meals he could barely afford when he was younger. They would have been the only hot fresh meals he could get his hands on aside, and they provide a sense of security and warmth. He would never admit he likes commoner meals, though, so whenever he’s asked what he likes, he defaults to whatever fancy dish he can think of off the top of his head. 

Stress and illness

Pantalone doesn’t have a canon age, I personally hc him as like 27 at the youngest, but regardless of how old you think he is, he has spent his entire life Stressed and there’s no way he isn’t suffering from it

Maybe the white is his hair is from his age, depending on your headcanon age for him, but a lot of it is from the stress of constantly working himself to the limit

He would never admit this, but he actually has a significant amount of white hair, he just dyes it black to hide it. He keeps the one streak because it makes him look sexy- I mean, it looks charming.

He also constantly suffers from migraines, especially when he’s trying to meet a deadline. He takes medication to counter it, but it can only do so much. 

They can get so bad that his eyes start to hurt, his vision blurs and he starts getting dizzy

He’s susceptible to respiratory infections, namely he is asthmatic and at risk of catching pneumonia. He’s had too many close calls as a child.

His heart is also at risk due to the aforementioned stress and disease that has plagued him since his youth. 

Similar to his diet, he is able to manage all of his conditions now that he can afford top of the line medical care, but he’ll never be 100% and he knows he has to work around that.

The cold weather of Snezhnaya is not good for him, if he’s outside for too long he starts to get short of breath because of the asthma.

He will also neglect sleep and hunger if he gets too absorbed in his work, he would actually work himself to death if you let him.

In spite of this, he carries on like nothing is wrong. He’s smiling, going about his day, attending meetings with his fellow harbingers and filling out paperwork for the Northland Bank like it’s nothing. He refuses to let the mask slip, no matter how bad his health issues can get.

It helps that he also has a pretty good self care routine to maintain his porcelain complexion and silky hair. Helps with the illusion that Everything Is Fine.

Iodized Salt: What It Is, Its Benefits and How Much You Should Eat Daily

Keeps weight under control. Your metabolism is directly affected by the healthiness of your thyroid. When you have a super high metabolism, you might not gain a healthy weight. Slower metabolism allows the body to store more fat, thus leading you to gain weight. Since your thyroid depends on a healthy dose of iodine to perform its duty, your metabolism also depends on your iodine levels.

Removes toxins and prevents bacteria. Iodized salt has a counter effect on harmful metals like mercury and lead. It acts to repel these toxins and restore the right pH level in your body. Iodized salt also helps prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying in the intestines. Research shows that harmful bacteria can cause fatigue, constipation, and headaches.

Promotes heart health and keeps you hydrated. Iodized salt helps create the hormones that regulate heart rate and blood pressure. It also helps to burn extra fat deposits that could lead to heart disease. Salt promotes healthy hydration levels and creates a balance of electrolytes. This balance is crucial for the proper functioning of the cells, muscles, tissues, and organs. All the body components require water to function, and salt helps maintain the proper water levels. Dehydration makes you more prone to dizziness, fatigue, and muscle cramps.

Health Risks of Iodized Salt Deficiency

Not having enough iodine amounts can lead to severe health conditions including:

Impaired fetal and infant development

Difficulty in learning during childhood

Fibrocystic breast disease

Radiation-induced throat cancer

Hair loss

Fatigue

Goiter

Weight gain

Increased sensitivity to cold

Dry skin

How Much Iodine Do You Need?

The amount of iodine you should consume in a day depends on your age. If you are female, pregnancy and breastfeeding also play a crucial role. Here are the recommended amounts of iodine one should take in a day:

Birth to six months: 110 micrograms

Infants 7 to 12 months: 130 micrograms

Children 1 to 8 years: 90 micrograms

9 to 13 years: 120 micrograms

Teens 14 to 18 years: 150 micrograms

Adults: 150 micrograms

Pregnant women: 220 micrograms

Breast feeding women: 290 micrograms

Do not consume salt in high amounts as it can pose a danger to your health.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-sea-salt-and-sufficient-iodine-intake/#:~:text=The%20recommended%20daily%20intake%20for,of%20iodine%20through%20their%20diets.

The recommended daily intake for adults is 150 micrograms, which can be obtained from about one-half to three-quarters of a teaspoon of table salt. Testing of the general population indicates that most Americans consume sufficient levels of iodine through their diets. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are the only groups in the U.S. that are advised to take a daily iodine supplement, usually as part of a prenatal vitamin.

i decide to start running bc i wanna get into shape, do you have any tips for stretches or anything like that?

lock in cuz we're about to get downnnnn

• To “get in shape” or lose weight, you've gottttt to focus on your diet. Nothing changes if nothing changes!

• Bulking (aka eating your bodyweight in protein and adding calories) is the fastest way to gain muscle without supplements HOWEVER you do gain a lot of weight through this

• Cutting is when you lose all of your bulk weight to “tone” your muscles - toning is not a real thing btw, the only way to tone is to lose fat so that your muscle becomes more defined

• Cardio is not going to burn all of your fat, but doing things like 12-3-30 while consecutively eating well will help you drastically

• If you have knee problems like me, walk backwards for 5-10 minutes during your pre and post cardio (on a treadmill) to help your knees

• You should always start with at least 10 minutes of cardio to get your muscles warmed up and your heart pumping, and end with at least 10 minutes to recover your heart rate and stretch out your muscles. Doing cardio is never an excuse not to stretch though!!

• Stretching for 5-10 minutes pre and post workout is so so critical to caring for your body during your workouts. Here are some stretches that I recommend

How to Lose Weight with PCOS: 8 Helpful Tips

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women worldwide, and one of its most challenging symptoms is weight gain. The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can make losing weight particularly difficult. However, with the right approach, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is possible. Here are eight helpful tips for losing weight with PCOS.

Focus on a Low Glycemic Index (GI) Diet

Women with PCOS often have insulin resistance, which can lead to weight gain. A low GI diet can help manage insulin levels and reduce cravings:

Choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, and vegetables

Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks

Include protein and healthy fats with each meal to slow down sugar absorption

Example meal: Grilled chicken breast with quinoa and roasted vegetables.

2. Increase Protein Intake

Protein is crucial for weight loss, especially for women with PCOS:

Helps you feel fuller for longer

Supports muscle mass, which boosts metabolism

Aids in balancing blood sugar levels

Aim for lean protein sources like fish, poultry, tofu, or legumes at each meal.

3. Incorporate Regular Exercise

Physical activity is essential for managing PCOS symptoms and promoting weight loss:

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week

Include both cardio and strength training in your routine

Try activities like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling

Consider HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) for efficient fat burning

Remember, consistency is key. Find activities you enjoy to make exercise a sustainable habit.

4. Manage Stress Levels

Chronic stress can worsen PCOS symptoms and make weight loss more challenging:

Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation or yoga

Prioritize self-care and relaxation time

Consider talking to a therapist or counselor for additional support

Reducing stress can help balance hormones and reduce stress-related eating.

5. Prioritize Sleep

Adequate sleep is crucial for weight management and hormone balance:

Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night

Establish a consistent sleep schedule

Create a relaxing bedtime routine

Avoid screens before bed

Good sleep hygiene can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce cravings.

6. Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is often overlooked but is essential for weight loss:

Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily

Replace sugary drinks with water or herbal teas

Consume water-rich foods like cucumbers and watermelon

Staying hydrated can help reduce false hunger cues and support overall health.

7. Consider Supplements

Some supplements may aid in PCOS management and weight loss:

Inositol: May improve insulin sensitivity and ovulation

Omega-3 fatty acids: Can reduce inflammation and support hormone balance

Vitamin D: Often deficient in women with PCOS and important for overall health

Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements.

8. Practice Mindful Eating

Mindful eating can help you develop a healthier relationship with food:

Eat slowly and without distractions

Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues

Choose nutrient-dense foods that nourish your body

Avoid restrictive diets that may lead to binge eating

Mindful eating can help prevent overeating and promote a balanced approach to nutrition.

Conclusion:

Losing weight with PCOS can be challenging, but it's not impossible. By focusing on a low GI diet, increasing protein intake, exercising regularly, managing stress, prioritizing sleep, staying hydrated, considering appropriate supplements, and practicing mindful eating, you can create a sustainable approach to weight loss.

Remember that everyone's journey is different, and it's essential to be patient and kind to yourself. Small, consistent changes often lead to the most sustainable results. If you're struggling with weight loss or PCOS management, don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian who specializes in PCOS for personalized advice and support.

With dedication and the right strategies, you can achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall health while managing PCOS. Stay positive, stay consistent, and celebrate every small victory along the way!

Since there's a lot of talk about weight loss right now, how do you gain weight? Asking because I've been underweight/almost underweight most of my life and want to get strong (please help bush dad)

Eat foods high in carbs and high in fat. This of course (like weight loss) depends on your metabolism. If you have a fast metabolism you will need to eat more calories as your body will burn more calories. I'd recommend eating at least 2000 calories a day and see how that gets you, but your mileage is gonna vary depending on your activity level and height. You might have to push for 2500 or 3000 cal a day to see a noticeable difference, but I'd note that just like weight loss this should be done gradually and not rushed—it's better to gain weight slowly than too fast, otherwise you might shock your system (and cause some intestinal upset)!

If you want to get STRONG, then you're gonna need to eat a lot of protein. If you wanna gain weight and get strong, you're gonna want to eat fatty protein. So eat the gristle on your steaks, avoid only eating lean meats like chicken/venison/roo/lamb and, while you can 100% eat those, you also need to be supplementing with high-fat proteins like well-marbled beef and pork. Drink full fat milk, make foods with heavy cream, eat a lot of carbs like bread and pasta, eat foods with a lot of butter, etc. Protein will let you build muscle (as long as you're working out to BUILD that muscle) and the fat will be converted to fat stores. This is my go-to diet for putting on weight before summer.

I will say that it's much easier to put on weight FIRST and then get to work on beefing up. Otherwise, if you're working out, you're just going to be burning all the fat stores you take in. Get heavier first, then work on beefing. For beefing you'll want lean meats, but if you've been underweight your whole life you'll probably want to just continue the high-carb and high-fat diet while just including more lean protein for muscle building. Eat a lot of eggs.

Of course this should all be brought up with your doctor. They can give you tips and might even have your thyroid checked to rule out issues that might be causing you issues with gaining weight.

You can also calculate your ideal weight, your activity level, your height, age, and how many calories you'd need to take in to maintain your ideal weight. I'd recommend that first as I have no clue how tall you are.

You'll make it! I'm cheering you on :]

WORKOUT FOR MUSCLE BUILDING

Have you ever wished that you could work out and gain strength, muscle mass, and increased cardiovascular fitness all at once? You may be fortunate. Exercises including high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, are frequently linked to cardiovascular health and weight loss, but they can also be a hidden weapon for building muscle.

Can You Build Muscle With HIIT Workouts?

HIIT is a well-liked exercise method for people trying to get fitter and burn fat because of its great cardiovascular advantages.

However, when it comes to gaining muscle, HIIT is frequently disregarded. Although the most efficient method for achieving muscle hypertrophy is still traditional strength training with progressive loading, HIIT can supplement a muscle-building program because of the following advantages:

Metabolic stress. HIIT exercises put the muscles under metabolic stress. Stress can promote the production of growth-promoting and other anabolic hormones, which aid in the maintenance and growth of muscle.

Fast-twitch muscle fiber activation. HIIT workouts frequently incorporate fast-twitch muscle fibers through explosive movements like plyometric exercises. Fast-twitch muscle fibers not only increase power and speed but also have a greater capacity for muscle growth than slow-twitch muscle fibers.

Increased calorie burn. Because HIIT workouts are high-intensity and require a lot of metabolism, they usually burn a lot of calories during and after the session. As it generates a calorie deficit that permits more food and nutrients to be consumed, which can drive muscle growth, this can be beneficial for both individuals who want to maintain their weight while gaining muscle and those who want to reduce fat to improve the definition of their muscles.

Combining HIIT & Resistance Training For Muscle Growth

Resistance training is the most effective type of training when it comes to gaining muscle, even though HIIT might be helpful. It's a terrific approach to increase muscle growth and enhance strength, endurance, power, speed, and cardiovascular fitness to incorporate both into your workout.

What is the absolute fastest way to burn body fat?

The absolute fastest way to burn body fat involves a combination of factors:

Caloric Deficit: You need to consume fewer calories than your body expends. This can be achieved by reducing your calorie intake and/or increasing your physical activity to burn more calories.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT workouts involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods. They are highly effective for burning calories both during and after the workout due to the afterburn effect.

Strength Training: Building lean muscle mass through strength training can increase your metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories throughout the day, even when at rest.

Balanced Diet: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, sugary snacks, and excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates.

Adequate Sleep: Poor sleep can disrupt hormone levels and metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night.

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help control appetite, boost metabolism, and aid in fat loss.

Manage Stress: Chronic stress can lead to weight gain and make it difficult to lose fat. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

Intermittent Fasting: This eating pattern involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting. It can help reduce calorie intake and improve metabolic health.

Increase Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): NEAT refers to the calories burned during activities other than exercise, such as walking, gardening, or household chores. Increasing NEAT can contribute to overall calorie expenditure.

Limit Liquid Calories: Be mindful of high-calorie beverages like sugary sodas, juices, and alcoholic drinks. Opt for water, herbal tea, or black coffee instead.

Protein-Rich Diet: Consuming adequate protein can help preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss. Include protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and tofu in your meals.

Track Your Progress: Keep a food diary or use a calorie-tracking app to monitor your food intake and physical activity. This can help you stay accountable and make adjustments as needed.

Be Consistent: Consistency is key when it comes to fat loss. Stick to your diet and exercise plan even on days when you don’t feel motivated. Small, sustainable changes over time yield the best results.

Consider Supplements: While not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, certain supplements like caffeine, green tea extract, or conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may have modest effects on fat loss when combined with a proper diet and exercise regimen.

Stay Patient and Persistent: Fat loss can be challenging, and progress may not always be linear. Celebrate your successes along the way and focus on the long-term benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, or supplementation regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Keep in mind that while it’s tempting to seek rapid results, sustainable fat loss takes time and consistency. It’s essential to prioritize overall health and well-being rather than solely focusing on quick fixes. Consulting with a healthcare professional or certified fitness trainer can also provide personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Tips for the gym

Many of us go to the gym for a number of reasons, whether it's to stay healthy, build muscle or look good. I go to the gym to build muscle, lose body fat and build strength. If you're looking to build muscle in an optimal fashion, I have some steps for you to take that can help you achieve your goals. I've used these steps to help me along my gym journey and I along with others, can personally attest to their effectiveness. Now that I'm finished with my yapping, here are my top tips to train optimally.

Tip #1: Find your goals

Ask yourself this question: “What am I hoping to achieve at the gym?” Do you want to get shredded with a 6-pack? Do you want to develop your athletic abilities? Do you just want to lift as heavy as possible? Ask yourself what you want to do at the gym so you can better achieve those results and better apply it in your training.

Tip #2: Know the different kinds of fitness

Many people go to the gym exclusively for weight training, but that's not all the world of fitness has to offer, there are many different kinds of fitness that you may benefit from such as: cardio to help burn excess calories, plyometrics for explosive power, powerlifting, which is all about lifting as much as possible, crossfit if you want to train poorly, etc. I enjoy just simply weight training with some cardio as I look to build muscle and build an aesthetic body, but you might enjoy power lifting so try ‘em out and find whichever one you like best.

Tip #3: Train till failure and rest

Studies show that training till failure will result in muscles with higher strength gains and better hypertrophy than not training till failure. It's also recommended that you aim for lower reps as to fatigue your muscles less and speed up your recovery. Speaking of recovery, make sure you take rest days because your muscles grow during recovery. Depending on the split you're using, I'd recommend taking a rest day once or twice a week to make sure your muscles have the proper time to recover.

Tip #4: Watch what you eat

Your nutrition is arguably the most important factor in the fitness world, making sure you're eating properly will help you make gains faster than otherwise not. If you're trying to build muscle like me, you can follow the steps that I follow, which is to take your BW (body weight) and eat around 1g-1.5g of protein per lbs of BW. Change up your protein intake depending on the training you're doing. You'll also want to make sure you set up your meals with the right macronutrients, macronutrients being protein, fat, carbohydrates, sugars, vitamins, etc. Supplementation can be an effective way of getting your vitamins and minerals if, let's say or a picky eater or have food allergies. Finally, one of the most important things about nutrition and I would know this more than anyone. It's okay to take a cheat day, taking a cheat day makes it much, much easier to actually stick to your diet. I always have a cheat day once a week because it makes my meals much more enjoyable. Also, when I can eat junk foods on my cheat day it feels like a reward for making it through the week.

Tip #5: Be Patient

This is the most important rule of working out, it requires patience and discipline. I remember when young Momo started working out for the first time and he was so frustrated that he'd been going to the gym for two weeks and hadn't seen any results. Imagine if I stopped then and didn't continue to the place I am now, don't make the mistake of being impatient. The results will be worth it, trust me.

Thank you for reading my post and I hope you use some of these tips in your training.
