6 Most Important Fat Loss Strategies

In yesterday’s email, I addressed the myth that your metabolism slows down as you age.

Today, I’d like to give you the six most effective weight loss strategies.

Maintaining a healthy body fat level is essential for optimal health. You have a lower risk of chronic disease, more balanced hormones, and a much better chance at living a long, healthy life.

Plus, there’s a lot of misinformation online about weight loss—people claim that you need supplements, cold exposure, and extreme caloric restriction to make it work. Frankly, none of these things help you sustainably lose weight.

So here are the six strategies that really matter, in ascending order of importance.

(6) Only Eat At Specific Times

Eating during a specific window is a great strategy to eat less without extra effort.

However, most people only focus on when they start eating. When you stop eating is arguably more important, since it’s easy to mindlessly eat at night.

You don’t have to do long intermittent fasts. The main idea with time-restricted eating is to not eat during every waking hour.

(5) Train To Gain Muscle

Gaining muscle is the #1 investment in weight loss.

Muscle tissue is like a calorie-burning furnace. Making an effort to do regular exercise that helps you gain muscle will make it easy to stay lean as you get older.

If you think you’re too old to gain muscle, take a look at these two studies:

This study looked at adults aged 70-89, over an average of 2.6 years.

Participants who engaged in physical activity gained an average of 1.8 to 3.3 pounds of muscle mass during the 2.6 years.

This 18-month study looked at 60-75 year old men and women.

They found that after 12 months of resistance training participants gained between 3.3-4.4 lbs of muscle mass.

If the 80-year-old participants in those studies can gain muscle, you can too.

If you exercise, tweak your routine to incorporate more resistance training. If you don’t exercise, start now—it’s going to make your life significantly easier as you get older.

(4) Stop Sitting & Start Walking

As mentioned yesterday, being less active is the main cause of a “slower metabolism.” As people get older, they shift towards more sedentary lifestyles which causes weight gain.

The best way to combat this is walking. Walking burns a surprising amount of calories, is easy to do, and is amazing for your mental health.

Make a conscious effort to incorporate walking into your daily routine. Walk in the morning, after every meal, and whenever you can during the day. The extra movement is going to add up and make a huge difference in terms of weight loss.

(3) The “No S” Diet

The “No S” diet includes no starches or sugar.

Starch and sugar are very easy to overeat. Eating them frequently (especially sugar) will make you crave them more… which is a tough cycle to break.

Instead, eat meat, seafood, eggs, dairy, vegetables, healthy fats, and fruit. Fruit does contain sugar, but is very hard to overeat and the polyphenols in it help manage blood sugar spikes. Additionally, most people will feel better with carbs instead of none.

This diet is going to satiate you, make you feel great, and keep your hunger levels in check. Plus, it provides your body with every nutrient it needs.

(2) Stick To The Plan

None of these strategies will work if you don’t do them consistently, over a long enough period (perhaps 3 months).

It’s important to be patient and discover a plan that you actually enjoy. So during this period, focus on building a routine, experimenting with different methods, and making these strategies a part of your lifestyle. Avoid drastic changes and listen to your body.

(1) Know Your DNA

Why do most people struggle to lose weight?

It isn’t easy.

Whether your new diet is bland, you’re under-nourished, or your exercise plan makes you exhausted…

The issue with most weight loss plans is that they’re too difficult to stick to long-term.

The reality is that it shouldn’t be that way. Your body is naturally supposed to be lean and healthy.

Fat gain and poor health are the results of habits that aren’t aligned with your biology.

If you understand your biology, and what your unique body needs to thrive, you can align your habits with that which makes weight loss effortless.

For example:

• If you know which APOA2 and AMY1 genes you have, you’ll be able to know for sure if your body should use carbs or fats as fuel.

• Your CRY1 determines how your body produces insulin. Understanding which version you have will allow you to optimize your carbohydrate intake to maintain consistent energy levels, even while losing weight.

• Your UCP1 gene controls your resting metabolism. Knowing which version you have will give you insights on how to ramp up your metabolism with things like iodine, calcium, and more, so that you can maintain a healthy metabolism in period where you’re losing fat.

• Knowing your FUT2, MTHFR, MTRR, SHMT1, and ACE genes will tell you which key vitamins you need more than others. This will allow you to create a diet that makes you feel energized and satiated with less food.
