If you work long days, elevated cortisol is probably making you chubby. But 90% of people don’t even know this is happening inside their bodies. Cortisol = your body’s stress hormone. Signs you have chronically high cortisol: - Your face looks puffy - Your sex drive has tanked - You have stubborn belly fat - You wake up tired, even after 7+ hours of sleep - You’ve hit a weight loss plateau besides “doing everything right” We all know stress is “bad”. But science is beginning to understand just how bad… Let me explain: Chronic stress was rare for our ancestors. They faced acute stress (like running from predators). Cortisol and adrenaline helped them respond. Then they recovered back to baseline. But modern men face constant, unrelenting stress: - Endless work emails and Slack notifications - 24/7 news cycles of tragedy and disaster - Social media comparison traps - Financial pressures and debt The stress response is the same. But this time, cortisol stays elevated. Your body responds by: - Converting sugar into fat (especially around your organs) - Storing fat specifically in your abdomen as "quick energy" - Breaking down muscle tissue for emergency fuel Your body is literally programmed to get fatter when stressed. The good news? You don't need fancy supplements or extreme protocols to fix your cortisol levels. Simple, consistent habits can dramatically lower your stress hormones in just weeks. Break the stress cycle: → Turn off notifications after 7pm → Lift weights 3-4x per week → Schedule complete recovery days → Walk more (at least 7,000 steps per day) → Practice 5-10 minutes of deep breathing, daily → Make time for hobbies that take your mind off work Modern life is making men fat, tired, and weak. But it doesn't have to be this way. I've helped hundreds of busy executives reclaim their health while addressing these hidden factors. The difference? We've built systems that subtract stress from your life, not add it. I'm looking for a few more men who want to lose 15-25 pounds of stubborn fat in the next 90 days. - No restrictive diets - Only 3 hours/week required - Using systems that fit into your busy life DM me "FIT" and let’s chat.

Men who can't say "no" to others always struggle to say "yes" to their health. 20 Harsh fitness truths you don’t want to hear (but need to): 1/ Excuses don’t burn calories. 2/ Stop blaming your genetics for your dad bod. 3/ Overeating is a stress problem. If you want to get lean you need to take control of your mind just as much as your body. 4/ You've been told carbs are the enemy. They're NOT. 5/ Carbs are fuel for your body & workouts. Period. 6/ Comfort is addictive. Growth is uncomfortable. Choose wisely. 7/ No amount of crunches will outwork a poor diet. 6-pack abs are made in the kitchen. 8/ Lifting weights 3x per week beats 5 days of cardio every time. 9/ Motivation is unreliable. Systems and habits are everything. 10/ Most "transformations" you see online used performance drugs. Social media has destroyed your perception of what's naturally possible. 11/ 80% of men quit their fitness journey within 6 weeks. Discipline is what separates the transformed from the unchanged. 12/ You don't need more information. You need to actually implement what you already know. 13/ If you're not tracking your food intake, you're just guessing. And your guesses are probably wrong by 500+ calories. 14/ You're not "too busy" for fitness. You have the same 24 hours as everyone else. You've just decided other things matter more. 15/ Sleep deprivation is making you fat. 7+ hours is non-negotiable for hormone optimization. 16/ You can't choose where your body loses fat first. Play the long game if you want to lose your love handles. 17/ "I'll start Monday" has killed more fitness journeys than any other phrase. 18/ Most supplements are a waste of money. Focus on protein, creatine, and electrolytes. Ignore the rest. 19/ If your fitness approach isn't sustainable for life, it will ultimately fail. Temporary measures produce temporary results. 20/ “30 day shreds” and carnivore diets are a fast-track to burn out. Most busy men try these to save time and fall back to square one.

Not sure if LinkedIn is ready to hear this, but male testosterone has plummeted by 40% since the 1980s. Yup. That means the average 30-year-old man today, has the testosterone of a 60-year-old from two generations ago. And it’s not just your sex drive at risk. (Although let’s face it, that’s enough of a downside as it is). Low T leads to weight gain, depression, fatigue, muscle loss, brain fog, and increased risk of early death. If you're tired of being weak, tired, and miserable, here are 5 ways to increase your T levels (naturally): 𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 You need sunlight and vitamin D to produce testosterone. But most men get ZERO direct sunlight on their skin daily. Get 15-30 minutes of direct morning sunlight daily—yes, with your shirt off when possible. Your energy levels, mood, and libido will thank you. 𝟮. 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝘀𝗵*𝘁 Study after study confirms: strength training is the #1 exercise for boosting T. Forget the treadmill. Focus on compound lifts: - Squats - Deadlifts - Bench press - Overhead press Train to failure with progressive overload 3-4x weekly. No need for 6 days in the gym. Keep it simple & consistent. 𝟯. 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯 Sleep deprivation tanks your testosterone faster than almost anything else. 7-9 hours is non-negotiable if you want optimal hormone levels. Non-negotiables for deep sleep: - Same bedtime every night - No screens 60 minutes before bed - Bedroom temperature below 68°F - Blackout curtains & no electronics 𝟰. 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶𝘁 Your body needs healthy fats and cholesterol to make testosterone. The low-fat craze destroyed men's hormones for a generation. Daily testosterone essentials: - Whole eggs - Avocados, olive oil, nuts - Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage) - 30-50g protein per meal 𝟱. 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Chronic stress floods your body with cortisol, which directly suppresses testosterone production. Most men are drowning in stress and wonder why their drive is gone. Daily stress management isn't optional: - Walks outside multiple times/day (also GREAT for fat loss) - Check your breathing, slow it down - Cut back on caffeine after noon - Say "no" to commitments that drain you - Schedule recovery time like you schedule meetings High performers know this: controlling your stress response is the ultimate performance hack for both business AND hormones.

You “work too much” to exercise? Bullsh*t. How to lose 30 lbs while working 10-14 hour days: The fitness industry wants you: - in the gym 6x per week - buying useless supplements - joining the newest fad diet craze But I’ve helped over 300 busy men lose 20-50lbs without wasting time & energy on useless hype. Here’s how: 𝟭/ 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝟴𝟬% 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲, 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀. This doesn’t mean chicken & rice in tupperware. It means: - Eggs - Salmon - Spinach - Avocado - Broccoli - Chicken breast - Sweet potatoes - Lean ground beef - White rice or quinoa - Frozen mixed berries - Whey protein (isolate) - Greek yogurt (low or fat free) - Cottage cheese (low or fat free) - Your favorite hot sauce (for taste) (save that shopping list for later) 𝟮/ 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬% 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁. As long as it falls within your calorie goal. Fat loss should be sustainable, not miserable. 𝟯/ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 If you’re not eating enough protein, you’ll: ❌ Feel hungrier ❌ Lose muscle instead of fat ❌ Struggle to stay consistent Aim for 1g of protein per pound of ideal body weight. 𝟰/ 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗼 And lift weights 3-4x per week instead. (not 6x like the gym bros say) Your body doesn't need endless training. It needs: - Compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses) - Progressive overload (adding weight slowly) - 45 minutes of focused work (not 2-hour gym sessions) Cardio only burns calories while you're running. Muscle burns calories 24-7. 𝟱/ 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝘁-𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Walking 7,000-10,000 steps per day is the goal. When you can, take your zoom calls while walking.

Each broken promise slowly chips away at your: - confidence - self-worth - discipline Failing yourself is the fastest way to lose yourself. Inner strength isn’t optional. Build it.

The average American man now weighs as much as a 1960s NFL lineman (just without the muscle and athleticism). 3 modern traps quietly destroying your health: The other day I had a call with a frustrated exec. Busy guy. High performer at work. But his health was going to sh*t. The worst part? It wasn’t for lack of trying. America is waking up. Most people know their excess body fat is making them: - tired - insecure - and leading them down a path to chronic disease They’re taking steps to lose it. But spinning their tires. So why is it so damn difficult? After helping hundreds of men lose 20-50lbs I've noticed the patterns that held them back. 3 things kept them fat (#3 is honestly the worst): 1/ Your environment is working against you In the 1970s, the average grocery store stocked 9,000 items. Today? Over 40,000. Your ancestors never had to resist: - Ultra-processed foods designed by scientists to be addictive - 24/7 food delivery apps on your phone - Drive-thrus on every corner - Endless snacks in office break rooms Your willpower isn’t “weak”. The environment got 10x more tempting. Fix your environment: - Keep trigger foods out of your house - Prep meals 2-3x weekly - Have protein-rich snacks ready - Delete food delivery apps Control your environment or it will control you. 2/ You're living a sedentary life your body wasn't designed for Your great-grandfather didn't need a Fitbit to track his steps. He got plenty working in fields, factories, or walking to work. Today, the average office worker: - Sits 6+ hours daily - Walks less than 3,000 steps - Uses elevators instead of stairs - Drives everywhere, even short distances Our bodies didn’t evolve for this lifestyle. We're still wired for movement. The fix is simple: Walk more. - After every meal (even 10 minutes helps) - Take the stairs always - Schedule walking meetings - Get an under-desk treadmill - Park at the far end of parking lots The minimum effective dose: 7,000 steps daily. This alone can transform your metabolism. 3/ Information overload is paralyzing you The fitness industry thrives on confusion: - Keto says carbs are the enemy - Vegans say meat will kill you - CrossFit says you need to puke to see results - Influencers push supplements you don't need You're left sorting through endless bullshit, fad diets and marketing hype. The worst part? You’re being sold a “quick fix” that’s built to fail. Leaving most men burnt out, discouraged, and back where they started. Want to lose the weight for good? I’m looking for a couple more busy men who want to lose 15-25lbs and build lean muscle in the next 90 days. - No endless cardio - No fad diet bullsh*t - Only 3 hours/week in the gym required DM me "FIT" and let’s chat.

Someone's gotta say it: “More crunches” is NOT your fastest path to 6-pack abs. If I woke up today with stubborn belly fat, Here’s exactly how I’d lose it (without spending all my time in the gym): 1. Prioritize protein at every meal Crunches won’t fix a bad diet and weak metabolism. 30–50g of protein per meal - keeps you full - builds muscle - helps regulate blood sugar Muscle is your metabolic engine. Fuel it. 2. Walk 10,000 steps a day No, not “cardio.” Walking. It burns fat without raising cortisol, improves insulin sensitivity, and keeps your body moving without burnout. Walking is what most guys are missing…. not another HIIT class. 3. Lift 3–4x per week with intensity You need to: - Train compound lifts - Push close to failure - Add weight over time Muscle = more fat burned at rest. That’s the real secret weapon. 4. Manage your stress High cortisol = more belly fat. Period. Most guys are stuck in fight-or-flight all day. And your body stores fat when it thinks you’re under threat. Relieve stress daily: - 10-minute walks - Deep breathing - Time in nature or with people you love 5. Eat in a slight caloric deficit If you want to put on weight, eat in a caloric surplus. If you want to lose weight, eat in a deficit. Simple as. But you don’t need to starve. You need to be smart. Eat 10–20% fewer calories than you burn. 6. Sleep 7–9 hours every night No sleep = no abs. Poor sleep wrecks your hormones, raises cravings, tanks recovery, and keeps cortisol elevated. You don’t need to be perfect—just consistent. The problem with most busy guys? They see fat loss as a sprint, commit to an extreme and un-winnable plan, burn themselves out… Then gain all the weight back. But hundreds of my clients have lost up to 50 lbs of stubborn fat without: - endless cardio - restrictive diets - spending more than 3 hours/week in the gym & I’m looking for a few more busy men who want to lose 15-25 lbs in the next 90 days. DM me "FIT" and let's chat (Results Guaranteed). It’s not too late to get lean this summer. Cheers, -Jimmy

The fitness industry’s blind spot: Insulin resistance It’s why 38% of Americans are pre-diabetic. …and might be the reason you’ve been struggling to lose fat. Signs you might have insulin resistance: - Energy crashes after meals - Poor recovery from workouts - Constant hunger and cravings - Bloodwork showing elevated blood sugar - Stubborn fat that won’t budge (no matter how hard you diet or train) So what is insulin resistance? 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻: Insulin is a hormone that acts like a key. It unlocks your cells so they can absorb sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream for energy. But when you become insulin resistant? The key stops working. Sugar gets trapped in your blood. Your body can’t burn it for energy. Instead, it stores it as fat. Especially belly fat. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: Insulin resistance isn’t just about fat gain. It’s the gateway to the “4 Horsemen” of chronic disease: Heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: You don’t need extreme diets or complicated hacks to fix it. I’ve helped 4 of my clients: - reverse their insulin resistance - get off their diabetes meds - lose around 30 lbs of fat Here’s your to-do list: → 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 Start with an 11-hour window, gradually move to 8. (E.g., 9am–8pm, then 10am–6pm) → 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿 Oats, pears, apples, broccoli, carrots, avocado, raspberries. Fiber keeps you full, stabilizes blood sugar, and improves gut health. → 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝘆 You don’t need zero carbs. You just need fewer processed carbs: - Ditch sugary drinks - Cut back on white bread, baked goods - Focus on whole, slow-digesting carbs → 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹 Protein builds muscle — and muscle is a sponge for blood sugar. Lean meats, eggs, fish, whey protein isolate. → 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝟯𝘅 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 Forget cardio marathons. Muscle improves insulin sensitivity far better. Plus, more muscle = more fat-burning power at rest. Modern life is making men fat, tired, and pre-diabetic. But you can beat the system. I’ve helped hundreds of busy entrepreneurs and executives lose 20–50 lbs of stubborn fat — all while working demanding jobs.

Chronic stress isn’t just exhausting you. It’s giving you “Cortisol belly” If you’re: - working 60+ hour weeks - not getting enough sleep - always under pressure There’s a damn good chance high cortisol is wrecking your body composition. & stopping you from losing your belly fat and puffy face. The problem? We still have the nervous system of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. But now instead of predators we’re constantly triggered by: - Emails - Deadlines - Financial pressures - Performance targets - Doom & gloom in the media Chronic stress = chronically high cortisol Here’s how this goes in the body: 👉 Cortisol spikes → signals body to enter survival mode & store fat 👉 Blood sugar rises → more cravings, worse insulin sensitivity 👉 Muscle recovery slows → harder to build or maintain muscle 👉 Appetite increases → especially for high-fat, high-sugar foods 👉 Inflammation rises → body stays in “damage control” mode, not fat-burning mode The good news? You can reverse it. How to lower your cortisol and lose your stubborn belly fat: 𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿-𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Training 6x a week and endless cardio is keeping your cortisol spiked. Bring it down to 3-4x per week. Replace the running with daily walks. 𝟮. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 7–9 hours a night. Non-negotiable. Poor sleep spikes cortisol and wrecks recovery. 𝟯. 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 Most people take shallow breaths from their chest and don’t even realize. Check your breathing throughout the day. If you’re taking short, shallow breaths: correct to deep belly breaths. 𝟰. 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 Blood sugar crashes = cortisol spikes. Stable energy comes from protein, fiber, and healthy fats—not sugar bombs. 𝟱. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 & 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 Both reduce stress hormones, improve mood, and support fat loss. Bonus: walking after meals improves blood sugar control. The problem with most busy guys? They see fat loss as a sprint, commit to an extreme and un-winnable plan, burn themselves out… Then gain all the weight back. But my clients have lost up to 50 lbs of stubborn fat without: - endless cardio - restrictive diets like keto - spending more than 3 hours/week in the gym I’m looking for a few more busy men who want to lose 15-25 lbs in the next 90 days.

Scary truth: Heart Disease doesn’t wait until retirement. It kills more men than any other cause—1 in 4 deaths in the U.S. Grinding 60 hour weeks to provide for your family? I respect it. I work 10, 12, sometimes 14 hour days to build wealth for my future kids. But spending zero time on your health & fitness? That's a fast track to chronic disease & complications that will have your family taking care of YOU. Not the other way around. Read this if you want to lose 30 lbs of fat in the next 90 days (even if you have no time):

Muscles don't grow in the gym. They grow when you rest. How I dropped 38 lbs by working out LESS: Years ago, an ATV accident nearly took my foot off. I couldn't walk for 12 months. Gained 38 pounds of pure fat. The weight was bad. The depression was worse. When I could finally walk again, I went ALL IN on getting my body back: - Keto diet - CrossFit 6x/week - Running till I puked - Tracking every single calorie And guess what? It worked. For about 3 months. Then my body broke down. My energy depleted. My sleep was garbage. My testosterone tanked. I was MORE miserable than when I was overweight. The moment life got stressful, I fell right back into emotional eating. And all the weight came rushing back. Here's what I finally realized: The problem wasn't EFFORT. I had plenty of that. The problem was RECOVERY. I was destroying my body faster than it could rebuild. So I completely reversed my approach: 1. I cut my workout time in HALF (3-4 sessions/week) 2. I focused on INTENSITY over duration - Compound lifts - Progressive overload - Training to near failure 3. I prioritized sleep like my results depended on it (because they did) - 7+ hours every night - Same bedtime - No screens before bed 4. I stopped demonizing carbs and started fueling properly - 30-60g protein per meal - Carbs around workouts - Real, whole foods 80% of the time 5. I walked 8,000-12,000 steps daily - Took calls while moving - Used an under-desk treadmill - No more endless cardio sessions The results? I lost those 38 pounds AGAIN. Did it take a little longer? Yes. But this time, there was no burnout waiting for me. No metabolism breakdown. No sacrificing time with family and friends. No missing out on foods I love. And 6 years later, I've maintained the same physique without struggle. What I learned is simple: Fat doesn't burn from suffering. It burns from consistency. And consistency only happens when your plan fits your real life. PS. I’m giving away the meal plan that’s helped over 300 of my clients lose 20-50lbs. - without spending hours in the kitchen - or restricting all the foods they enjoy Get it for FREE here: https://lnkd.in/emf5BBSw To your strength and health, -Jimmy

Work 60+ hour weeks? Most fitness advice is useless to you. How I stay lean working 12 hour days: As an entrepreneur, saying “I work a lot” is an understatement. I’m on and off calls from sunrise to sundown. I travel often. I don’t always have time to prep meals. Yet I maintain 9-15% body fat year round. Here’s what actually works for busy professionals & executives: 𝟭/ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝘆 The "perfect" fitness plan for busy men doesn't exist. The best plan is the one that survives when sh*t hits the fan. 𝟮/ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 When I can't hit the gym, I do: - Body weight circuits (push-ups, squats, planks) - Airport terminal power walks between flights - Stairs instead of elevators (But let's be real, gyms are everywhere. 99% of the time I find one so I can lift heavy) Business dinner tonight? - Protein-heavy lunch - Extra steps during calls - Whiskey neat instead of beer 𝟯/ 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲, 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝘁 I lift weights during "low brain power" times: - Early morning (before my brain wakes up) - 3 PM slump (when creativity dies anyway) - Late evening (after major decisions are done) 𝟰/ 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 “𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼” 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 You don’t need a 6-day per week bro-split. You just need 3-4 lifting sessions per week. 45 minutes, full body split, focus on compound lifts. Less + better > more + burnout 𝟱/ 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Skip the keto hype. You need carbs to fuel your workouts. Prioritize protein at every meal. 1g per lb of ideal body weight, daily. 80% whole foods & lean protein. 20% whatever the hell you want. 𝟲/ 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 I take a minimum of 3 walking breaks per day. I walk during calls. I walk after meals. I walk whenever I get a chance. Want your body to become a fat burning engine? Walk more. 𝟳/ 𝗦𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻 I protect my sleep like I protect my revenue: - Same bedtime (even while traveling) - Blackout curtains or eye mask - No screens after 9 PM - No coffee after 2 PM The brutal truth?

Harsh truth: Cardio is a waste of time for fat loss. How to lose 30-50 lbs without it: First — why avoid cardio? Yeah, it’s great for your heart and lungs. But it’s time consuming, inefficient, and could be silently sabotaging you: • Excessive cardio can lead to muscle loss • Increases hunger which can cause overeating • You’re better off eating less calories than trying to burn them off on a treadmill I’ve helped 300+ busy men lose 20-50 lbs of fat by doing this instead: 1/ Lift weights 3 times per week. That's it. Pick compound movements that hit multiple muscles: • Squats • Deadlifts • Bench press • Rows Progress each week. Small increases compound over time. On average: 1 pound of muscle burns 6-7 calories per day (at rest). 1 pound of fat only burns ~2 calories per day. More muscle = higher metabolism = easier fat loss 2/ Walk 7,000-10,000 steps per day High-intensity cardio isn’t necessary. Walking burns calories without increasing hunger. Pro tip: Walk before and after your meals to avoid blood sugar spikes, accelerate digestion and reduce fat storage. 3/ Eat enough protein Around 50g per meal. Or 1g per pound of your desired bodyweight, daily. Prioritizing protein will: • Preserve muscle • Stabilize blood sugar and reduce crashes • Keep you full so you don’t binge on refined carbs More protein = more muscle. period. 4/ Eat in a slight caloric deficit You don’t need to starve yourself to lose weight. In fact, if you cut too hard, you’ll: - wreck your energy - tank your metabolism - binge yourself right back to square one The sweet spot? 500 calories south of your maintenance calories. Focus on: High protein, high fiber. Be patient and let time do the work. 5/ Confide in someone who can hold you accountable Comfort is an addiction. Junk food is an addiction. Sugary drinks are an addiction. Sometimes all it takes is having someone on your side who’s not afraid to call you out on your bullsh*t and keep you on track. 6/ Avoid the short term mindset Most guys treat fat loss like a sprint. “If I just cut carbs for 30 days…” ”I’ll run 5 miles every morning before that vacation…” They dive head-first into some extreme plan that’s built to fail. They fall off in a couple weeks. They think they’re just “not cut out” to get lean. The truth? I’ve helped all my clients lose weight with a sustainable & flexible system. One that makes room for: - eating out with friends - spending time with family - accelerating your career growth I’m looking for a couple more busy men who want to lose 15-25lbs and build lean muscle in the next 90 days. - No endless cardio - No fad diets - Only 3 hours/week in the gym required DM me "FIT" if interested in losing the fat for good!

The biggest fitness mistake your making isn’t in the gym. It’s in your bedroom. After helping 300+ men transform their bodies, I can tell you with 100% certainty: The quality of your fat loss is determined by the quality of your sleep. Here’s why (and how you can fix it — even if you’re a busy professional): 1/ Your metabolism is crippled by poor sleep Most guys obsess over their workout routine while ignoring the metabolic disaster happening each night. Just ONE night of poor sleep: - Decreases testosterone by up to 15% - Spikes ghrelin (your hunger hormone) - Crashes leptin (your fullness hormone) - Increases cortisol (stress hormone that triggers fat storage) The math is simple: Sleep less, store more fat. 2/ Recovery is impossible Your muscles don't grow during workouts. They grow during sleep. Without 7+ hours of quality sleep: - Growth hormone secretion plummets - Protein synthesis decreases - Inflammation stays elevated - Recovery time doubles or triples The result? You're breaking down tissue in the gym but never fully rebuilding it. Guys wonder why they're not seeing gains despite consistent workouts. Look at your sleep first. 3/ Say goodbye to your willpower Ever notice how your nutrition falls apart when you're tired? That's not a coincidence. Poor sleep literally makes your brain crave sugar, salt, and fat as emergency energy sources. You don't lack discipline—your brain is in survival mode. This is why most diets fail on weekdays when executives are running on 5 hours of sleep. 4/ The protocol Here’s what I tell my high-performing clients who need to prioritize sleep on a busy schedule: - Same bedtime every night - 7-9 hours of sleep (non-negotiable) - 30-60 minute wind-down before bed - Set phone to airplane mode during this time - No screens 60 mins before sleep - Wear blue light blockers 3 hours before bed Optimize it: - Mouth tape (nose breathing = deeper sleep) - Breathe right strip (opens nasal pathway) - Magnesium Glycinate + L-Theanine - Eye mask or black-out curtains - White noise (if that’s your thing) Extra, I know. But it’s worth it. I've helped 300+ busy executives lose 20-50 pounds of stubborn fat while improving energy, focus, and drive. The ones who take sleep seriously see results 2-3X faster. I'm looking for a few more men who want to lose 15-25lbs in the next 90 days. - No restrictive diets - Without endless cardio - Only 3 hours/week required DM me "FIT" and let's chat (Results Guaranteed).

By summer you could be 30lbs lighter with a defined stomach. Here's my dead-simple system to make it happen (even if you're a busy professional): 1/ Skip the cardio, pick up the weights Endless hours on the treadmill don't burn fat efficiently. Strength training creates the metabolic engine you need for long-term fat loss. Focus on compound lifts 3-4x weekly instead of daily cardio sessions. Your body will keep burning calories for up to 48 hours after lifting. Cardio stops the moment you do. 2/ Train to ACTUAL failure, not perceived effort Most guys quit when it gets uncomfortable. But magic happens in those last 2-3 reps when your muscles are screaming. This intensity is what separates those who transform and those who spin their tires for years. 3/ Progressive overload is non-negotiable Your body adapts quickly. If you're lifting the same weights you did 3 months ago, you're going backwards. Add weight, reps, or sets every 1-2 weeks, even if it's just 5 more pounds or 2 more reps. Track your lifts in your phone. Progress is NEVER accidental. It’s intentional 4/ Ditch the "bro split" workouts Training chest on Monday, back on Tuesday, etc. is outdated and inefficient. Full-body workouts 3x weekly will transform your physique faster than any split. You'll hit major muscle groups more frequently, boost testosterone, and burn more calories. Less time in the gym, better results. 5/ Form over ego, always I've seen too many guys wreck their shoulders, knees, and back trying to impress strangers. Drop the weight by 20% and perfect your form first. Record your lifts occasionally to check yourself. The guy with perfect form lifting moderate weight will outlift the ego lifter within 6 months—AND be injury-free. 6/ Recovery is where the magic happens Muscles don't grow in the gym. They grow when you rest. Lift 3-4x weekly MAX. Get 7+ hours of sleep each night. More is not better when it comes to training frequency. The industry wants you spending 6 days in the gym following complicated protocols. They’re selling you complexity when all you need is consistency. I've helped 300+ busy men drop 20-50 lbs with just 3-4 hours/week of smart training. Want to lose your stubborn fat before summer?

STOP normalizing being overweight. I know it’s harsh but America needs a wake-up call. It’s not “sexy” to have a dad bod or a beer belly. It’s slowly killing us. Excess fat is directly linked to: - heart disease - type 2 diabetes - stroke & certain cancers And the numbers aren’t getting better: - 40% of men are pre-diabetic - Childhood obesity has TRIPLED in the last 40 years - 7/10 American adults are overweight or obese When you do some digging, the facts get a little scary. We’re not trending toward "health at every size." We’re trending toward hospitals and early graves. Meanwhile, everyone online is busy arguing about “optimal” morning routines and $600 red light devices. Here’s the truth: You don’t need hacks. You need sustainable habits. Here’s 5 simple habits you can start now to finally shrink your waste and put on lean muscle: 1/ Walk after every meal Not because it’s trendy. Because it lowers blood sugar, improves digestion, and burns calories without spiking your hunger. If you can scroll Instagram, you can walk 10 minutes. 2/ Eat protein at every meal You don’t need to meal prep like a bodybuilder. You just need to make protein the star of every plate. It keeps you full, supports lean muscle, and makes overeating way harder. Simple swaps: - Greek yogurt instead of sugary cereal - Chicken thighs instead of chicken nuggets - Eggs instead of bagels 3/ Cut liquid calories You don’t realize how much fat you’re sipping every week. Sodas, juices, Starbucks frappes… they're all sugar bombs. But I know cutting them cold turkey is challenging. Start by swapping: - Soda → Zevia, or sparkling water with lemon - Sugary coffee → coffee with a splash of milk or almond milk - Juice → Water with a squeeze of fruit (lime, lemon, orange) 4/ Strength train 3x per week No, you don't need 6 days of HIIT, OrangeTheory, or CrossFit. Just 3 solid sessions of: - Squats - Presses - Rows - Deadlifts Push close to failure. Get stronger over time. Muscle = faster metabolism. 5/ Follow a plan that’s built to last Stop trying to “be perfect” for 30 days and burning out. Start building something you can actually stick to for 30 years. Follow the 80/20 rule: - 80% whole, nutrient-dense foods - 20% flexible to actually *enjoy* your life That’s how you stay lean without living like a monk or hating your existence. Most men try to lose fat with quick fixes: - “30 day shreds” - Endless cardio - Keto Then gain it all back. But if you want to finally lose the weight (and keep it off): I'm looking for a few more men who want to lose 15-25lbs of fat in the next 90 days. - No restrictive diets - Without endless cardio - Only 3 hours/week required DM me "FIT" and let’s chat (Results Guaranteed) I’ve already helped 300+ busy men lose 20-50 lbs of fat while building lean muscle. All while enjoying their busy career and family lives. DM me "FIT" if interested in losing the fat for good! Cheers, - Jimmy

I stay between 8-15% body fat without cardio or fad diets.

High-protein breakfast: - 3 scrambled eggs - ground beef - avocado - spinach - hot sauce Chicken & Rice - 6oz grilled chicken breast - 1 cup jasmine rice - 1 cup steamed broccoli Hearty Dinner - 8oz ground beef - Roasted sweet potato - 1 cup sautéed spinach - Hot sauce Post-Workout Smoothie - 1 scoop whey protein powder - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk - 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries - 1/2 a banana 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀: Day 1 - Strength & Power - Pull-Ups - Barbell Squats - Cable Chest Fly - Kettlebell Swings - Incline Dumbbell Bench Press - Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts Day 2 - Metabolic Burn - Deadlifts - Walking Lunges - Mountain Climbers - Barbell Bent-Over Rows - Dumbbell Goblet Squats - Overhead Dumbbell Press Day 3 - Hypertrophy & Conditioning - Hip Thrusts - Dumbbell Curls - Tricep Pushdowns - Flat Dumbbell Press - Dumbbell Lateral Raises 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲: - 5g of creatine daily - 50g+ protein per meal - walk 10,000+ steps per day - 30min+ of sunlight per day - get 7+ hours of sleep at night - drink water before every meal - block blue light 1 hour before bed - optional 11 min of meditation every day 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱: - Extreme dieting - Endless cardio - 6x per week in the gym Most busy guys think these quick fixes will save them. Then they burn out in a month and fall back to square one. and think fat loss just “isn’t for them.” But if you want to actually lose the weight for good… You need a long term mindset. You need a plan that actually WORKS with your busy schedule. And you need someone to hold you accountable. I’m looking for a few more busy men who want to lose 15-25 lbs in the next 90 days.

Health gurus want you eating keto or vegetarian. Here’s how I stay lean eating stadium food: Sometimes I eat: - pizza - burgers - fried chicken But I’m still waking up leaner than 90% of men tomorrow. Most “fitness gurus” would shame me for this. But they’re the ones stuck in a cycle of restrictive diets and rebounds. Here's the simple truth about getting lean without destroying all the fun things in life: Extreme diets fail because no one sticks to them. Most men try: - Keto (and miss pizza with friends) - Cutting all alcohol (goodbye social life) - Meal prep chicken & broccoli 7 days a week (kill me now) ...then wonder why they're miserable and quit after 3 weeks. Here's my 80/20 approach that keeps me between 9-15% body fat year-round while still enjoying life: 𝟴𝟬% 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲, 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 This means: - Protein-first meals - Carbs from whole food sources - Vegetables at 2+ meals daily - Drinking mostly water 𝟮𝟬% 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 For me, that's: - Hockey game food - 1-2 weekend beers - Pizza night with my girlfriend - Business dinners without stress 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵: - 3-4 strength workouts weekly (45 min max) - 8-10K steps daily - 7+ hours of sleep - Tracking protein intake This isn't just about losing weight. It's about becoming the kind of man who enjoys life while staying lean and healthy. Most men think they need to choose: a) Be fit and miserable b) Be happy and overweight I've helped 300+ busy men prove that's bullshit. PS. I’m giving away the meal plan that’s helped my clients lose 20-50lbs. - without spending hours in the kitchen - or restricting all the foods they enjoy Get it for FREE here: https://lnkd.in/emf5BBSw Summer is around the corner.

Harsh truth: Sitting for 6+ hours/day is slowly k*lling you. Here's how to get lean (even if you're always working): The average office worker sits 7 hours daily. Your body wasn't designed for this. This sedentary trap: - Destroys your metabolism - Accelerates fat storage in the body - Depletes your energy, drive & testosterone But you don't need to quit your job to get in shape. Here's my proven plan for busy executives who want to drop 30-50lbs of fat WHILE crushing their career: 1/ Stop letting "busy" be your excuse I've helped 300+ executives lose 20-50 lbs while working 60+ hour weeks. The problem isn't your schedule. It's your system. You need a realistic plan that fits into your actual life, not some fantasy routine designed for fitness influencers. 2/ Master the desk setup - Use a standing desk (alternate 30 min sitting/30 min standing) - Set a timer to force posture resets every 30 minutes - Keep protein-rich snacks in your drawer (not sugar) - Monitor at eye level, always 3/ Turn meetings into fat-burning sessions Walking 7,000-10,000 steps per day is the goal. When you can, take your zoom calls while walking. Get an under-desk treadmill or simply pace your office. You’ll inspire your colleagues and your waistline will thank you. 4/ Forget about cardio And lift weights 3-4x per week instead. (not 6x like the gym bros say) Your body doesn't need endless training. It needs: - Compound movements (squats, deadlifts, presses) - Progressive overload (adding weight slowly) - 45 minutes of focused work (not 2-hour gym sessions) Cardio only burns calories while you're running. Muscle burns calories while you're sitting. 5/ Fix your food, fix your life - Protein first at every meal (50g minimum) - Prep batch meals on Sundays - No liquid calories (stick to black coffee, water, or sparkling water) - Two alcoholic drinks weekly MAX No extreme diets. Just sustainable habits. 6/ Prioritize recovery or watch your progress die The busier you are, the MORE you need recovery: - 7-8 hours of non-negotiable sleep - Blue light blockers after 8pm - 10 minutes of stretching before bed - One full day with no work emails Remember: your digestive system, hormone production, and metabolism all get destroyed without adequate recovery.

Your grandparents were leaner than you without dieting or gym memberships. Here's why 75% of Americans today are overweight (and how to fix it): 50 years ago, people weren't obsessed with fitness. No supplements. No Instagram trainers. No fad diets. Yet only 13% of people were overweight. Today? That number has skyrocketed to 75%. What the hell happened? 1/ Modern food is engineered to make you fat Your grandparents ate REAL FOOD they cooked themselves. Today, 60% of the average American diet is ultra-processed garbage: - Designed to override your "I'm full" signals - Loaded with seed oils that cause inflammation - Packed with addictive ingredients that keep you coming back It's not food. It's a science experiment making you sick and fat. 2/ We turned exercise into a punishment Back then, movement was just part of daily life. Now we: - Sit 10+ hours a day - Drive everywhere instead of walk - Torture ourselves with cardio we hate The average American walks 3,000 steps daily. Your grandparents? Over 7,500 without trying. 3/ Sleep quality has gone to sh*t In the 70s, people went to bed when it got dark. Today we: - Stare at screens until midnight - Drink caffeine all day to compensate - Wonder why our cortisol is through the roof Poor sleep = higher hunger hormones = fat gain. This isn't complicated. 4/ The fitness industry sells complexity Every month there's a new "revolutionary" approach: - Keto - Carnivore - Intermittent fasting - One Meal A Day All designed to sell you books, supplements, and memberships. The result? You try everything, stick to nothing, and end up right back where you started. 5/ We've lost the ability to delay gratification We use supercomputers in our pockets to order junk food at 11pm. Then we blame our "slow metabolism" when we can't lose weight. The problem isn't your genetics. It's the 24/7 access to temptation. Your grandparents didn't have Uber Eats. And they were better off for it. So what actually works? The most boring, unsexy advice you'll ever hear: - Eat real food (meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables) - Drink water instead of liquid calories - Lift weights 3-4x per week (focus on compound movements) - Walk 7,000-10,000 steps daily - Sleep 7-8 hours in a dark, cool room - Manage stress (meditation, nature, hobbies) - Be consistent for months, not perfect for days Nothing revolutionary here. But this approach has helped me and hundreds of my clients lose 20-50 pounds of fat and KEEP IT OFF. No 6-day gym splits. No starvation diets. No expensive supplements. Just sustainable habits that fit into your actual life. I'm looking for a few more men who want to lose 15-25lbs of fat in the next 90 days. (Only 3 hours/week required, no endless cardio) DM me “FIT” if you want to get your body back this summer. Cheers, -Jimmy

Someone's gotta say it: If you can't see your abs, it's NOT because you need more crunches. After helping hundreds of men lose their stubborn belly fat, I've identified 3 hidden factors that keep most men from achieving a flat stomach: 1/ Your insulin sensitivity is f*cked Insulin is a hormone that helps your body absorb and use carbs for energy. Years of: - sugar - alcohol - processed foods can made your cells resistant to insulin. The result? Your body stores everything as fat instead of burning it for energy. Signs your insulin is broken: - Energy crashes after meals - Constant hunger and cravings - Stubborn belly fat that won't budge - Poor recovery from workouts Fix it: - Walk 7-10k steps daily - Strength train 3x weekly - Eat protein first at every meal 2/ You're chronically inflamed Inflammation is the silent killer of abs and health. Your body can't burn fat efficiently when it's fighting constant internal fires. Modern life is an inflammation factory: - Processed seed oils in restaurants - Disrupted sleep patterns - Chronic stress from work - Environmental toxins Reduce inflammation by: - Replacing vegetable oils with olive oil, grass-fed butter - Going to bed at the same time nightly - Limiting alcohol to 1-2 drinks weekly - Eating your damn vegetables 3/ Your cortisol is stuck on "high" Most men are living in a constant fight-or-flight state: - Checking emails before breakfast - Rushing between meetings all day - Never truly disconnecting When stress hormones stay elevated, your body holds onto abdominal fat as a survival mechanism. High cortisol = stubborn belly fat. Period. Lower cortisol by: - Setting work boundaries (no phone after 8pm) - Prioritizing 7+ hours of quality sleep - Taking 10-minute walks after meals Do 1,000 crunches daily if you want. But without addressing these factors, you'll never see those abs. I've helped hundreds of busy executives fix their metabolism and finally reveal their six-pack—many for the first time in decades. The difference? We fix the system, not just the symptoms. I made a free video walkthrough outlining the exact steps to lose 15-25lbs of stubborn fat in 30 days. - EVEN if you're a busy professional with "no time" - WITHOUT restrictive diets or endless cardio Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/eNwRe-aN It's not too late to shred your belly before summer.
