You “travel too much” to get in shape?… Bullsh*t. Here’s my cheat sheet to get lean (from anywhere): Out of the year I spend: - 1 month in Europe - 3 months in Costa Rica - 1 month in Philly - 7 months in Austin On top of that I work 10, 12, sometimes 14 hour days. Do I let that stop me from staying lean? Hell no. Here's the simple system I use (steal it for yourself): 1/ Prioritize protein at every meal Travel = unpredictable meals, but protein should always be your focus. • Airport? Grab Greek yogurt or beef jerky. • Restaurants? Steak, chicken, eggs, or fish. • Hotel breakfast? Skip the pastries—get eggs and fruit. If you don’t hit 30-50g per meal, you’ll feel hungrier and lose muscle instead of fat. 2/ Walk as much as possible Modern life is destroying your body. • Take the stairs instead of the elevator • Walk between meetings or sightseeing • Aim for 7,000-10,000 steps daily Fat loss is way easier when you’re not sitting all day. 3/ Stop drinking your calories Most people gain weight traveling because they drink sugar bombs all day. Coffee → Skip the syrups & creamers. Cocktails → Go for clear liquor & soda, not sugary mixers Water → Always. Stay hydrated to prevent cravings. Drinking calories wrecks fat loss. Stop it. 4/ Book hotels with a gym (or near one) If your hotel or airbnb has a gym, there’s zero excuse not to train. No gym? Pick a spot near: - A 24/7 commercial gym - A CrossFit box (most offer day passes) - An outdoor park for bodyweight workouts You don’t have to “find time” if you build fitness into your travel plans. 5/ You're nowhere near a gym? No excuses Bodyweight + bands are better than nothing. Quick full-body workout: - Push-ups (or banded presses) - Squats + banded RDLs - Lunges + banded rows - Core (planks, leg raises) No weights? Just increase reps & intensity. 6/ Scope out food options before you arrive Most people eat like sh*t on the road because they wait until they’re starving. Fix that: - Look up menus before you get there - Find a grocery store near your hotel - Prioritize protein & whole foods at every meal Planning = better choices, less temptation. The problem with most busy men? They try to lose weight with quick fixes: • “30 day shreds” • Extreme diets • Endless cardio And wonder why they have zero energy left for the things that matter: • Their career • Their hobbies • Their family & friends Then they burn themselves out and gain all the weight 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 15-50 lbs of fat while building lean muscle. All while enjoying their busy career and family lives. DM me "FIT" if you want to a flat stomach and lean muscle this summer! Cheers, - Jimmy

By summer you could be: - 30-50 lbs lighter - with a lean 6-pack - showing off your progress at the beach NOT with cardio. NOT with the newest fad diet. But with my simple blueprint (only 3 hours/week required): 1/ STOP relying on cardio… …and start lifting weights + walking 7k steps/day. Cardio burns calories while you're on the treadmill. Muscle burns calories 24/7. 2/ Lift weights 3 times per week. That's it. I've helped busy professionals lose up to 50 pounds lifting just 3x weekly for 45 minutes. Trust me, the other 165 hours of your week matter more for fat loss than your gym time. Want to guarantee fat loss WITHOUT losing muscle? Hit compound movements that work multiple muscles Squats, Deadlifts, Bench press, Rows, Dips, Overhead Press. Progress each week. Small increases compound over time. 3/ Fix your testosterone Low testosterone = more fat storage. Why? • Hormonal imbalance tips the scale toward estrogen • High estrogen = more fat storage • Fat cells turn testosterone into even more estrogen Result? A belly fat feedback loop. 4/ STOP eating 3 hours before bed Burning fat isn’t just about what you eat. It’s about when. That 3 hour time window before bed: → Improves digestion → Improves fat-burning overnight → Helps you wake up feeling lighter and more energized 5/ PRIORITIZE protein Protein keeps you full and burns more calories during digestion. Think chicken, eggs, fish, steak… Starting your meal with protein means you’ll naturally eat less junk AND feel satisfied. 6/ Make SIMPLE changes to eating habits - 3 meals/day (30-50g protein at each) - drink water before every meal - drink less alcohol (none isn't always realistic) - no snacking (if eating enough protein this shouldn't be a problem) 7/ Avoid the most common mistake → “30 day shreds” → Restrictive diets like Keto → Spending hours on the treadmill... I used to chase these extremes but I'd just burn out and lose all my progress. Then I found a reliable way to lose fat and build lean muscle.

Biggest fitness hack no one talks about: Alignment with your partner. Couple A: - eats the same healthy meals - workouts together (or separately) - prioritizes health as a core value Couple B: - 1 tries to eat healthy, the other eats junk and binge drinks on weekends - 1 tries to workout, the other guilts them for not watching Netflix together after work - 1 values health, the other criticizes them for being so "obsessed" All things equal...who do you think is going to be healthier and in better shape? If you want to get healthy/fit, you need to get your partner on board. Simple as. But the truth is, Getting fit & healthy doesn't have to be a chore for either partner. It can be as simple as: - 3 hours/week in the gym - eating whole foods & protein - walking 7k steps per day - staying away from processed junk food - getting a solid 7-9 hours of sleep each night I talk about this a lot here on LinkedIn so check out any of my posts for simple, actionable advice you can use right now.

It’s never “too late” to get in shape. Here’s my cheat sheet to get lean (even if you’re over 40): But first, let’s clear something up… You’ve been told “you lose your metabolism after 30” The truth: That’s a bunch of bullsh*t. Yes, your metabolism might have slowed down. But not because you reached some magic metabolism-killing age. It’s because you stopped doing these 3 crucial things that keep men lean, energized, and in control of their health: 1/ You stopped lifting weights Muscle = metabolism. Lose muscle, your metabolism slows. Lifting 3-4x per week: - Increases testosterone - Boosts insulin sensitivity - Builds lean mass that burns calories at rest You don’t need to train like a bodybuilder. You just need to lift consistently and with intent. 2/ You started sitting more and moving less Desk job. Long commutes. Netflix marathons. You move less than you did at 25. But your diet probably got worse. That combo = fat gain, low energy, and worse blood sugar control. Fix it: Walk 7k–10k steps daily. No treadmill required. Just walk while on calls, after meals, or between meetings. 3/ You stopped watching what you eat If you snack all day, live off caffeine, and skip protein… your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster. Spikes → Crashes → Cravings → Fat gain But you don’t need to track calories like a hawk to stay in shape. You just need to stop eating like sh*t. Easiest way to do this? - Cut sugary drinks & processed junk - Prioritize protein Aim for 30-50g per meal. Not shakes and bars all day. Real food: - Eggs - Steak - Chicken - Greek yogurt - Cottage cheese Eat natural = feel natural. The problem with most busy men? They try to lose weight with quick fixes like “30 day shreds” and fad diets. Then wonder why they burn out and gain all the weight back. (AKA… the dreaded yo-yo cycle) But if you want to lose your stubborn fat for good: 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 15-50 lbs of fat while building lean muscle.

Harsh truth: Most men will spend summer just as miserable as they were in winter. Low energy. Love handles. Feeling like sh*t every time they look in the mirror. But it doesn’t have to be that way. And no, you don’t need to train 6 days/week. You don’t even need to eat dry chicken and broccoli. And you sure as hell don’t need to run marathons. If you want to be in the best shape of your life by summer (without wrecking your lifestyle), read this: 1/ Lift weights 3-4x per week. That’s it. Not 7. Not 6. Not twice a day. 3 hours/week is enough if you: Train with intensity, focus on progressive overload, and stop wasting time trying to “out-cardio” your belly fat. 2/ Eat like a grown man, not a 12-year-old. Stop inhaling fast food, sugary drinks, and vending machine snacks. You don’t need a “diet”—you need discipline. Prioritize: - Protein - Whole foods - Water - Portion control And yes, you can still enjoy food. Just not like it's your full-time job. 3/ Walk every damn day. Not JUST for fat loss. For your brain, your joints, and your longevity. And yes, walking burns calories too—without increasing hunger like cardio does. You’d be shocked what 10k steps/day can do for your body (and your mood). 4/ Sleep isn’t “optional.” If you’re getting 5 hours a night, no amount of workouts or meal plans will save you. - 7+ hours - Same time every night - No screens before bed More sleep = better hormones, more energy, faster fat loss. Don’t make fat loss harder than it already is. 5/ Stop obsessing over supplements, cold plunges, and health hacks. Most of the influencers pushing that stuff are just capitalizing on marketing buzz. Don’t let “optimization” distract you from the basics that actually work (and doing them consistently). 6/ Fitness isn’t about suffering It’s about systems. Get these right, and losing your belly becomes a matter of “when”, not “if”. The problem with most busy guys? They try to speed run the process of fat loss with quick fixes like “30 day shreds” and extreme diets. Then completely burn out and gain all the weight back. AKA the dreaded “yo-yo cycle”.

“Bro fitness” is dead. Lifestyle fitness is in. The old way: ❌ Extreme diets ❌ Hours of cardio ❌ Short-term focus ❌ All or nothing mindset ❌ Sacrificing life enjoyment The new way: ✅ Flexible nutrition ✅ Efficient workouts ✅ Long-term focus ✅ Consistency over perfection ✅ Enjoying life WHILE making progress You don’t need to spend 6 days/week in the gym to get in shape. Nor should you. You’re not a bodybuilder. You’re not an olympic athlete. You’re not a pro football player. You’re likely a busy career man with a family and a social life. Enough of the bullsh*t. Let’s normalize getting in shape without sacrificing our happiness, our mental health and time spent with the people we love. I've helped 300+ busy men lose up to 50lbs with this mentality and simple, scalable habits. It's the same system I use to stay lean year round while: - travelling often - working 10-14 hour days - spending time with my girlfriend & friends The problem with most men? They try to lose weight with extreme diets, "30 day shreds" and endless cardio. Then wonder why they burn out and fall back to square one.

Someone has to say it… “Health influencers” are completely out of touch with reality. “Cold plunge every morning.” “Take 80 supplements a day.” “Track your biological age down to the minute.” They preach biohacking BS that doesn't matter for 99% of people. The harsh truth: Most people don’t need to "optimize" their health. They need to SAVE it. Let’s be real: - 70% of adults are overweight or obese - 1 in 3 people have prediabetes - Heart disease is the #1 killer of men Meanwhile these influencers are selling a dream to people who haven’t even mastered the basics. Their routines are: → Obsession disguised as “health” → Unrealistic for anyone with a career, family, or social life I’m sorry, but… No amount of red light therapy will undo a decade of fast food, alcohol, and skipping workouts. The truth? You don’t need: - extreme fitness routines - expensive treatments - exotic supplements to be healthy, lean, energized and confident. You just need simple, sustainable habits: - Lift weights 3-4x per week - Walk 7,000-10,000 steps daily - Eat enough protein & whole foods - Cut liquid calories & processed garbage - Fix your sleep before buying supplements I’ve helped over 300 busy men lose up to 50lbs this way. No gimmicks. No biohacking nonsense. Just real habits that actually move the needle. The problem with most guys who want to lose weight? They try to "biohack" their way to health, skip the basics, and wonder why they're not losing weight. But if you want to finally lose your belly by summer (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 15-50 lbs of fat while building lean muscle.

STOP normalizing being overweight. If you want to drop 30-50 lbs this summer (without endless cardio), Here's 17 harsh truths you need to hear: 1. Being overweight isn’t normal. It’s just been repackaged as “body positivity” while millions suffer from preventable disease. 2. It’s not just beer bellies and love handles we have to worry about. Visceral fat is quietly killing us… 3. Visceral fat wraps around your organs and raises your risk of heart attacks, cancer, and early death. 4. Being overweight isn’t just about willpower. It’s a vicious cycle: Poor sleep → Low testosterone → Low energy → More stress → More fat gain 5. Your metabolism didn’t slow down with age. You stopped moving, stopped lifting, and started eating like sh*t. 6. Cardio isn’t the answer. It burns calories—but also spikes hunger and burns muscle. Walking and lifting beat the treadmill every time. 7. You can’t outwork a bad diet. If you’re drinking soda, smashing takeout, and only “eating clean” 2 days a week—it’s not your hormones, it’s your habits. 8. Alcohol is destroying your gains. It wrecks your recovery, your testosterone, and your self-control. Cut it for 30 days and watch your body change. 9. Lifting 3-4x per week is enough… if you actually push yourself. More volume won’t save you if your workouts are soft. 10. 5 hours of sleep per night is trash. It isn’t “grind mode,” it’s self-sabotage. Sleep less = store more fat, period. 11. Comfort is the real addiction. Junk food, skipping workouts, and hitting snooze feel good now—but they cost you later. 12. Walking isn’t sexy. But neither is burnout, joint pain, and quitting every 3 weeks. You want sustainable fat loss? Start walking daily. 13. If you’re not eating enough protein, don’t cry about losing muscle. Protein builds your body. Period. 14. Results take time. Accept it or stay miserable. This is a marathon—not a 30-day cleanse. 15. Stop being scared of carbs. They’re not making you fat. You’re just eating too many calories. 16. If you want to lose 30+ lbs, learn how to cook. Or stay stuck guessing what’s in your Uber Eats bag. 17. Most men try to lose weight with quick fixes: Fat burners, extreme diets, and 30-day shreds... Then burn out and fall back to square one. These don’t fix the root problem. They just delay the inevitable. But if you want to lose your stubborn fat (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.

Abs aren't made in the gym. They're made in the kitchen. My ultimate eating guide for a lean stomach: 1/ Fat loss = calorie deficit. Period. You can do all the crunches in the world. But if you’re eating like an idiot, you’ll never see your abs. The only way to lose fat is to burn more calories than you consume. 2/ Protein is king. If you’re not eating 0.8-1g of protein per lb of body weight, you’re making fat loss harder than it needs to be. Protein: • Keeps you full longer • Boosts metabolism • Prevents muscle loss while cutting fat Best sources: Steak, chicken, fish, eggs Greek yogurt, cottage cheese Whey protein (if needed) A high-protein diet makes getting lean effortless. 3/ Cut liquid calories. You’d be shocked at how many extra calories you drink without realizing it. Common offenders: • Soda • Juice • Fancy Starbucks drinks • Alcohol These do nothing for hunger but wreck your calorie deficit. Replace with: • Water • Black coffee • Zero-calorie electrolytes If you’re drinking your calories, don’t expect to get lean. 4/ Eat real food. 80% of your diet should be whole, unprocessed foods. The remaining 20%? Eat whatever you want (within your calorie limit). Good foods = • Steak, chicken, fish • Eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese • Rice, potatoes, oats • Fruits & veggies • Nuts & olive oil (in moderation) Bad foods = • Processed junk marketed as "healthy" • Granola bars, fruit juices, diet snacks • Deep-fried fast food If a food has 20+ ingredients, it’s probably trash. 5/ Meal timing doesn’t matter—total intake does. People love to overcomplicate this. • You don’t need 6 small meals a day. • You don’t need to eat every 2-3 hours. • You don’t need to fast if you don’t want to. Eat when it fits your schedule and hit your calorie & protein goals. That’s it. 6/ Late-night snacking is killing your progress. Most guys eat great all day, then binge 800 calories of garbage at night. How to stop: • Eat enough protein & fiber earlier in the day • Drink water or tea instead of snacking • Brush your teeth after dinner • Stop keeping junk food in your house A small deficit every day beats an all-or-nothing diet that collapses at night. 7/ Skip the fad diet phase. Harsh truth: If your diet has a name, it’s a marketing scheme. Not a long-term solution. Fad diets like: • Keto • Vegan • Carnivore Only “work” for fat loss because they force you to cut calories. But in the long term they burn you out and destroy your metabolism. Want to lose fat sustainably?

Time to expose one of the biggest fitness lies: “Carbs are making you fat!” If you want to lose weight AND build lean muscle, read this: Carbs are NOT the enemy. But only if you know: 1. What carbs to avoid 2. Which ones to eat 3. When to eat them Let’s dive in: The truth is, carbs are fuel for the brain and body. - Your brain runs on glucose from carbs. - Your muscles need glycogen from carbs for strength and recovery. - Your metabolism thrives when fueled properly. Eliminate carbs completely, and you’ll feel weak, sluggish, and unfocused. You don’t need to cut carbs. You need to eat the right ones. Here’s what’s wrecking your fat loss: - Sugary cereals - White bread and pasta - Soda and fruit juice - Pastries, cookies, and candy - Fast food and fried junk These spike blood sugar, cause cravings, and lead to fat storage instead of fat loss. But the RIGHT carbs fuel your metabolism, build muscle, and keep you full longer. Here’s what you should be eating: - Rice (white or brown) - Potatoes and sweet potatoes - Quinoa and oats - Fruits (berries, apples, bananas) - Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, black beans) When you eat carbs matters too. Eat them before a workout for energy. Eat them after a workout to help with recovery and muscle growth. Avoid them three hours before bed to prevent insulin spikes that can disrupt sleep. Final words: Carbs don’t make you fat. What does? 1. Eating the wrong carbs at the wrong time 2. Eating more calories than your body can burn If you want to burn fat, build muscle, and stay energized: Eat smart carbs at the right time. And stay in a slight caloric deficit. period. But my #1 rule: Enjoy your life sometimes. No diet is sustainable if it requires you to eat like a monk. 80% whole foods and lean protein. 20% whatever the hell you want (as long as you're within fat loss calories). (picture below is me enjoying a waffle - NOT the end of the world 😉) The problem with most men? The focus on extreme diets like keto or carnivore. Then fall back to square one cause diets like these aren't realistic or sustainable.

There are 2 men inside of you. Man #1: - Gives in to his cravings - Will exercise “when he has time…” - His word means nothing (not even to himself) - Blames his “metabolism” instead of taking ownership - Wonders why he’s always exhausted & unmotivated Man #2: - Sets an example for his family - Prioritizes protein in all his meals - Focuses on consistency over perfection - Builds sustainable habits that last a lifetime - Doesn’t chase health trends (he masters the basics) Man #1 makes excuses. Man #2 makes progress. Every single day, you make TINY choices that decide which man you become. And if you feel more like man #1 right now... You’re not stuck. You’re not broken. You’re not beyond fixing. You just need to start. I know it feels like an uphill battle, but... I've found that completely transforming your body is easier than most men think.

But I’ve helped 300+ busy professionals lose 15-50 pounds WITHOUT: → Spending more than 3 hours/week in the gym → Sacrificing foods they enjoy → Endless cardio sessions And, respectfully, I’m looking for a few more busy men who are tired of looking and feeling like sh*t.

If you want to be in the best shape of your life without eating like a 90lb woman, read this: 👇 You’re not out of shape because you don’t work hard enough. You’re out of shape because you’re following broken advice made for fitness models who live in the gym. You’ve been told to: - Eat 1,200 calories - Avoid carbs - Do endless cardio - Train 6 days a week And none of that fits your life. I used to follow this advice until it burned me out, wrecked my metabolism, and sucked all the enjoyment out of my life. You don’t need to suffer to lose weight. You don’t need to eat like a rabbit. You don’t need to sacrifice your career or social life. You need a plan that works with your lifestyle, not against it. Here’s what actually works: - Eat 30-50g of protein per meal - Train 3-4x per week with heavy compound lifts - Walk 7,000–10,000 steps per day - Cut liquid calories and processed garbage - Sleep 7+ hours—non-negotiable That’s it. No extreme diets. No 6-day gym grinds. No starving yourself into hormonal chaos. Just simple, sustainable habits you can stick to for life. You’re not overweight because of a lack of effort. You’re overweight because you’ve been lied to about what effort should look like. The fitness industry has overcomplicated the sh*t out of fitness. It’s time we get back to simplifying it. And first thing’s first: Stop following plans built for 90lb fitness influencers. Stop following plans built for bodybuilding bros. Stop following plans built for marathon runners. Build a plan that works for YOU. Not against you.

Hey LinkedIn—looks like it’s time I reintroduce myself. A couple weeks ago, one of my posts blew up… And suddenly, I had 20,000 new followers. The good news? I’m now connected with 20,000 more people who care about transforming their health. The catch? Half of you have no idea who I am. So, let me fix that. I’m Jimmy. 5 years ago I thought I was headed for a career in finance. Then I got in an ATV accident. Couldn’t walk for a year. Gained 38 pounds. That’s when the spiral started... I tried all the quick fixes: - Extreme diets - Hours of cardio & CrossFit - Cut out everything I enjoyed Burned out. Got depressed. Felt like I’d never get my energy—or my body—back. But eventually I ditched the “all-or-nothing” mindset and found what actually works: A sustainable system to get lean, strong, and healthy— That doesn’t require giving up your career, your social life, or your sanity. No 6-days-a-week training schedules. No starving yourself. No need to “go carnivore.” Just simple habits that work for real, busy people. Since then, I’ve helped over 300 high-performing men lose 15–50 lbs and build bodies they can actually maintain. Men who: • Run companies • Travel constantly • Work 10-14 hour days • Raise multiple children • Have zero time for fluff I coach them to win in health the same way they win in business: With systems, structure, and consistency. And if that’s what you’re after too—stick around. Because I share everything I teach my clients right here on LinkedIn. No gimmicks. No guru BS. Just what actually works.

Harsh truth: Cardio is a stupid way to lose fat. If you have 30 pounds of stubborn belly fat to lose by Summer, read this: Let's face it: Cardio is a pain in the ass. Sure, it’s great for cardiovascular health. But it’s time-consuming and terrible for fat loss. Why avoid cardio? - It can lead to muscle loss - It increases hunger and causes overeating Plus, you’re better off eating less calories than trying to run them off. I’ve helped 300+ busy men lose 15-50 lbs of fat by doing this instead: 1. Ditch the treadmill. Pick up the weights You don’t need an intense workout plan. Just lift weights 3-4x per week, 45 minute sessions. Pick compound exercises that hit multiple muscle groups. Harsh truth: Your “at-home bodyweight” workout isn’t burning enough calories and building enough muscle. If you really want to get lean by summer, you need to get to a f*cking gym. Big weights = big progress 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. Raise your testosterone (naturally) T levels in men have dropped 33% in the past 50 years. It’s destroying their sex drive, ambition and body composition. Boost your T: → Train legs → Sleep 7+ hours → Get 30min of sun → Eat high-quality fats → Get lean, but not too lean → Control your stress, meditate 4. Stop snacking all day Chances are you don’t NEED the snacks. You’re probably just dehydrated, bored, or stressed. Eat 3 hearty meals per day so your body has time to lower insulin and burn stored fat for energy levels. (the trick - eat enough protein so you STAY full) 5. Get off the fad diet If your diet has a name, it’s a marketing scheme. Not a long term solution. 80% of your grocery list should be lean protein, veggies, fruits & healthy carbs. The other 20%? Foods you enjoy. Discipline doesn’t mean misery. 6. Protein isn’t optional Prioritizing protein will: - Preserve muscle while losing fat - Stabilize blood sugar and reduce crashes - Keep you full so you don’t binge on refined carbs More protein = more muscle. period. Get 50g per meal (30g if female). 7. Avoid "quick fixes" and fad diets. Most guys try keto and "30 day shreds"... Only to destroy their metabolism, burn out, and fall back to square one. But if you want to lose your stubborn fat (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 15-50 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 before Summer! Cheers, - Jimmy

One pattern I’ve noticed in all miserable men: They don’t keep promises to themselves. Do this to completely transform your body by Summer, even if you “have no time:” 1/ Stop relying on cardio to burn fat. Cardio is great for your brain, heart & lung health. But it's shitty for fat loss. Always prioritize strength training + nutrition + walking > cardio. 2/ Put on muscle On average, 1 pound of muscle burns 6-7 calories per day (at rest). 1 pound of fat only burns ~2 calories per day. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn while: - Sitting - Driving - Sleeping Build muscle in the gym to burn calories on auto-pilot. PS. All it takes is 3 hours/week of lifting to build muscle and burn fat. Stop listening to bodybuilding bros who lift 7 days/week. 3/ Stick to a Program For a program to work, you actually have to do it (crazy...I know). Set yourself up for success: → Pick exercises you enjoy → Set realistic days per week → Set a realistic time per session → Adapt when life gets in the way If you're telling yourself "I'll go 3 times this week"... but haven't scheduled it into your calendar, you've already lost. 4/ Eat Enough Protein If you don't eat enough protein, you can't put on muscle. Simple as. Plus it keeps you full for longer (helps you avoid cravings). Eat 30g-50g per meal. 5/ Eating Nutrient Dense Foods Your body needs nutrients to function. If you do not eat enough nutrients your testosterone, energy and mood will tank. Eat foods like: → Fruit → Eggs → Vegetables → Grass-fed Beef → Wild-caught Fish → High-quality Fats 6/ Eat in a Caloric Surplus or Deficit If you want to put on mass, you need a caloric surplus. If you want to get lean, you need a deficit. If you choose neither, you will look the same forever. Pick one and track calories for a few weeks. 7/ Avoid "quick fixes" and fad diets. Most guys try keto and "30 day shreds"... Only to destroy their metabolism, burn out, and fall back to square one.

I stay between 9-15% body fat year round. And I never suffer through cardio, Eat Keto or Carnivore diets, Or lift weights more than 3-4x per week. Here’s 5 dead-simple fitness rules that keep me lean (even while working 10-14 hour days): 1/ Protein first, always. Every meal starts with 30-50g of protein. It keeps me full, supports muscle, and makes fat loss easier. No guessing—just a clear priority. 2/ Walk. Every. Day. No fancy cardio. No soul-sucking runs. I just hit 10,000 steps a day. Walking burns calories, improves focus, and doesn’t increase your appetite like cardio does. Tips to walk more: - During calls - Get an under-desk treadmill - Take the stairs whenever possible 3/ Lift smart I’m not spending unnecessary time in the gym. And neither should you. You ONLY need 3 hours/week in the gym if you’re: - prioritizing compound lifts - lifting close to failure - adding weights over time (progressive overload) 4/ 80/20 nutrition 80% of my food is whole, nutrient-dense stuff. 20% is whatever I feel like eating. No cutting carbs. No banning sugar. No food guilt. I eat for energy, not anxiety. 5/ Treat sleep like an important meeting If it’s not in your calendar, it doesn’t happen, right? Well… same goes for sleep. I block off 7+ hours. I wind down at the same time each night. I protect my recovery like I protect my income. Because without energy, nothing else works. PS.

Someone has to say it: Suffering through cardio is a waste of time for fat loss. Here’s why, and 3 other extreme fitness habits that are actually holding you back from a lean body: 1/ Endless cardio Most people think they need to run for hours to lose fat. The problem? - Only burns calories while you're doing it - Increases hunger, making fat loss harder - Doesn’t build muscle, which is the key to keeping fat off What to do instead: - Strength train 3-4 times per week - Walk 7,000-10,000 steps daily - Eat in a slight calorie deficit Muscle burns calories all day long. Cardio doesn’t. 2/ Training 6-7x per week More workouts won’t get you better results. Smarter training will. If you hit the gym every day, here’s what’s really happening: - You’re spiking cortisol (stress hormone that makes fat loss harder) - Your body isn’t recovering, so muscle growth stalls - Burnout and injuries become inevitable Want real, lasting results? - Lift 3-4x per week with intensity - Walk or stay active on rest days - Sleep 7+ hours and let your body recover 3/ Extreme diets Keto. Carnivore. Fasting. Juice cleanses. If you like them, fine. But let’s be real: - Keto drains your energy in the gym - Carnivore is just an excuse to eat bacon all day - Most people quit and gain the weight back What actually works? - Eat mostly whole foods - Get enough protein (30-50g per meal) - Follow the 80/20 rule—80% clean, 20% flexible 4/ Thinking more supplements = better results The fitness industry is making billions off your confusion. - Fat burners don’t work - Pre-workout is just overpriced caffeine - BCAAs are pointless if you eat enough protein Here’s what’s actually worth your money: - Creatine for strength and muscle growth - Whey protein to hit your daily protein goal - Electrolytes for better hydration and energy Everything else? Just a fancy way to empty your wallet. Most high performing men focus on the extremes. Then burn out, f*ck up their metabolism, and fall back to square one. But if you want to lose the weight realistically (and keep it off): I’m looking for a few more busy men who want to lose 15-25 lbs of stubborn fat before summer. (only 3 hrs/week required, no restrictive diets) This is the same system I use to get and stay lean as a busy entrepreneur working 10, 12, sometimes 14 hour days. DM me "FIT" and let’s chat (Results Guaranteed) I’ve already helped 300+ busy men lose 15-50 lbs of fat while building lean muscle. All while building their careers and prioritizing time with loved ones. DM me "FIT" if interested in losing the fat for good! Cheers, -Jimmy

You “work too much” to get in shape? …Bullsh*t. How I stay lean while working 10-14 hour days: You’ve been lied to. The fitness industry wants you to believe getting lean and muscular means: - 6x per week in the gym - strict, unrealistic diets - endless cardio But I’ve helped over 300+ busy men lose 15-50 lbs with a similar system to the one I use to stay lean as a busy entrepreneur. Here’s my grocery list, meals, and workouts: 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁: - 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) 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻: Most busy guys eat processed junk because they default to convenience. But whole foods & protein can be convenient too. Lucky for me (and you) you don’t need to be a chef to make food that tastes good, keeps you full, and takes 5-10 mins to make. High-protein breakfast: - 3 scrambled eggs - ground beef - spinach - avocado - hot sauce Chicken & Rice - 6oz grilled chicken breast - 1 cup rice - 1 cup steamed broccoli Hearty Dinner - 8oz ground beef - Roasted sweet potato - 1 cup sautéed spinach - cottage cheese - 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 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀: Most people don’t snack because they’re hungry. They snack because they’re bored, stressed, dehydrated. If you ARE hungry, it means you haven’t eaten enough protein. 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 7,000+ 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: Most guys try: - Extreme diets like Keto or Carnivore - Quick fixes (..."30 day shreds") - Wasting time with endless cardio Only to destroy their metabolism, burn out their bodies, and fall back to square one. But if you want to lose your stubborn fat (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) Cheers, - Jimmy
