About this episode

DM “FAT LOSS” To @ Colossusfit On IG to get my free fat loss guide.

Summary of episode: In today’s episode we are reacting to the internet’s top weight loss tips. The good, the bad and the ugly.

What is your number one weight loss tip?

Listed points:

(0:00) - Intro

  1. (00:47)Take a real audit of everything you're eating in a typical day (everything, not just meals but also drinks and snacking) and identify easy places where you can cut calories (I started measuring the cream I was adding to my coffee. The amount of half and half I was using before contributed to like 20% of my daily calories lol., dressings, snacks, soda)

  2. (02:35) Calorie Deficit, but prioritize protein and fiber / / BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERYBODY!! It only works for people who abide by the laws of thermodynamics.

  3. (05:02) Drink the water in Cancun, I lost 22lbs in just four days with this simple trick.

  4. (05:49) Portion control. A lot of comments here say to eat less. But few are explaining how. You don't need to skip meals or change the food you eat. You just need to eat less if it. Portion control is the way to do this. (Stop eating a whole bag of chips, have one scoop of ice cream instead of three)

  5. (08:03) Get heartbroken / Instructions unclear: ate all the ice cream /

  6. (09:05) Absolutely stop drinking alcohol (for those who do drink).

  7. (10:54) Whatever you do, no drastic diet please! Just healthy alternatives - one change at a time.

  8. (11:52) The most effective change is the one you commit to. That's why most New Years plans are disasters, people commit themselves to 1000 things under the sun.

  9. (13:14) Don't trust weight loss tips from strangers on the Internet. / Recovering from an ED and this made me so sad to read. People need to stop. Just freaking stop.

  10. For those who don't, start going on walks. Even just for five minutes a day at first. Get your body moving and create that habit. It will grow and eventually lead to daily exercise. Then, you can focus on changing your eating habits. Make sustainable changes at a time
