Want to get lean, healthy, and strong?  Then you probably already know that you need to be eating at home more often. This is seriously one of the most beneficial things you can do regardless of what diet you subscribe to. Here's a SUPER easy way that I teach my clients and that has allowed me to be very consistent with my own food for over 6 years. and if you want the exact blueprint for this, check out batchmealprep.com to get the course and the recipe handbook. 

Here's Exactly How I Would Lose 30lbs. 1 Gal h20 per day Meal Plan your dinners for the week 7+ hours of sleep per night 3 days weight training 3 days 30/15/3 cardio 10k steps daily Not too bad, right? But also nothing groundbreaking. So here's the thing.  Take these activities and GET. THEM. SCHEDULED.The best fat loss tool is your calendar. Use it surgically.

Why does a train at rest only need a little door stopper to keep it in place while a train going 60mph will go through a brick wall? Simple. Momentum. The same applies to our efforts with fat loss. Anyone can put together a 4 day streak, but when the weekend hits and all the sudden we have 17 drinks and 4 burgers from Jack in the Box, there goes our streak, and it takes us another 4 days just to get back in the rhythm.  Don't make these mistakes.  Take a lesson from thousands of people who have come before you and set your efforts up in order to create hot streaks. When you do that, you'll see the success you want. 

IS WORKING OUT TOO MUCH MAKING YOU SKINNY FAT? I hear this a lot (mostly from men) "I've been training 6x per week, doing HIIT classes, working out every day and running after my workouts and the weight isn't coming off!" Because it's obvious, right? If some is good, then more must be better? But there's actually something else at play here - we need to pay attention to CARDIO COMPENSATION.

HOW TO ELIMINATE THE VISCERAL FAT THATS TRYING TO KILL US (and the baby whales ) 1. Give your body a reason to burn fat - if you’re always burning sugar, you’ll never escape this cycle 2. Keep stress and cortisol low. Are you stressed out of your mind? A new diet or HIIT class isn’t going to help out. De-stress and become fat adapted as a FIRST priority and watch how easy weight loss becomes. WANT TO START BECOMING FAT ADAPTED? Join us for the Low Carb Reset starting May 2nd.

Why is a Banana a ROUGH Breakfast? What does this have to do with being a bag boy at a supermarket? How do we eat to "teach" our bodies to burn fat?! So many questions answered on this episode of the MDB Show

Is Carb Backloading the Best Fat Loss Method? Carb backloading is one of the most effective method for fat loss as well as being incredibly sustainable Sure you could lose weight by eating only tilapia and broccoli but the second you stop doing that (because...gross) you gain all the weight back. This simple low carb strategy is incredibly powerful without taking over your whole life.

Tom has never had a job. For the past 44 years, he has owned his own business. Starting from scratch, Tom owned 5 apartment buildings and a hotel BEFORE he graduated from college.  Tom owned and operated the second largest nightclub in the State of West Virginia.  Tom survived two gun fights, a knife fight, and over 100 serious altercations with bikers trying to kill him in the nightclub business. This led him to learn and master real life combat skills, which he now teaches at https://www.BrutalSelfDefense.com Tom lost $400,000.00 in the nightclub business when the drinking age went from 18 to 21, but he refused to go bankrupt and paid off all his creditors as he recovered from the nightclub loss and started an internationally known entertainment company. This is a guy who has literally "been there, done that". In a world of wannabe YouTube influencers and TikTok stars, Tom is the real deal. In fact, they're making a movie about him on Netflix.

In this quick MDB episode I go into detail about how to train to build wide lats that compliment your physique and how most people are actually training the WRONG way. In fact, for the first 8 years of my training career, I did this 100% wrong and wondered why my back development was so minimal. It's not been until the last 2 years or so that I've seen INCREDIBLE progress in how my back looks and performs, without having to add more weight or spend more time at the gym. This simple technique change will make a massive difference for you, ESPECIALLY if you've had a hard time developing the lean, muscular physique of your dreams.  This was something I went into detail with with our private coaching clients a few weeks ago, but I think it's going to make a big change in your training, so I wanted to share it with you.  And if you want to see the video, simply go to the "Lose Your Gut. Eat More Tacos. Never Track Calories" Facebook community to get the whole experience.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/optimalself/posts/2126349170854416/
