So someone asked me this question the other day on a forum: “Can I get a six pack without sticking to a certain diet? If so, how?” The simple answer… not really. The real and more complex answer… It’s hard to say. It doesn’t matter what diet you follow (whether that’s keto, intermittent fasting, etc),
Imagine that you’re going out to eat on a Friday with some friends. You had a lot of expectations to go out with them during the week, so you got ready for it. Then Friday comes by… You get to meet with your friends at a restaurant and start having a good time. You catch
Most people want to burn fat, but very few want to lose fat. Sounds kinda stupid, I know. Let me explain. If you thought that burning and losing fat were the same thing, let me show you that it’s not the case. One is the process of actually burning fat (I mean…) and the other
Let’s be clear on something. Nothing and no one will be able to beat the law of physics… and in this case, the law of thermodynamics. If you want to lose fat then you have to create a caloric deficit. Want to build muscle? Then create a caloric surplus. It’s that simple (no one said
From all the diets, I chose these diets for 2 reasons: They are somewhat popular. Intermittent Fasting (IF) is always popular because of “autophagy” or the fact that you “burn fat while fasting because you’re using your reserves of fat”. Flexible diet seems to be the best thing since sliced bread. Eat what you want
How many times have you tried dieting to lose weight? Chances are, is more than once… in fact, you would need to count to see how many times have you actually attempted to drop those pounds away. Who knows and maybe you’re even dieting right now… Here’s the thing. If you want to keep gaining
Quick quiz What do you need to do to achieve your desired weight? Lessen your calories Maintain your calories Add calories Go ahead, take your time… Ready? Ok, so here’s the answer… all of them are wrong! Let me show you why. If you paid attention, there’s no exact information of what your current weight
Quick quiz: What’s the number one problem with most fat loss diets out there? Hormones Carbohydrates Fats Protein Take your time… Ok. Now that you have one, let me tell you the real answer… None of those is the right answer. You see, people out there think that one of the above (among others) is
If you think that to maintain your weight you won’t be able to eat more and eat what you enjoy, let me show you a better way… You may already know that you need a formula to calculate the calories you need per day, but… you may think you need to give up some foods.
If you’re not losing weight (of fat, for that matter) when you’re on a deficit, it’s because you’re not on a real deficit. Here’s what I mean. There’s nothing (and there’s really no magic formula) to losing fat that creates a caloric deficit, yet… Many people seem to struggle losing that weight when they are
From 3, 5 10 pounds to 50+ pounds, there is one way to lose all the fat you want. And yes, you can do this pretty much on demand. The best part is… it’s not a miracle diet, a supplement or some type of crazy routine you have to follow and stick to it. This
Many people go out there saying they are on a diet without paying attention to the real definition. To begin with, let’s explore the roots of the word diet. It comes from the greek diata, which means “a way of living” So this means that when you say “you’re on a diet”, in reality, you

Whether 27 pounds sounds like a lot or a little for you, what matters is the way I did it to lose that weight… and how you can do the same to finally lose weight and keep it off. That being said, you should know something. This isn’t a magical diet or some type of
