If I woke up suddenly 40lbs overweight here are the 5 most important things I would focus on to lose the weight asap:

1. Track calorie and protein intake

In order to lose weight the body needs to be in a caloric deficit making it priority #1.

To calculate calorie intake to lose weight, multiply your ideal body weight by 12. In this scenario my ideal body weight would be what I weighed before the weight gain which is 195. So 195x12 = 2,340.

Consuming an optimal amount of protein helps satiate appetite to reduce calorie consumption and build and maintain muscle which helps boost metabolism.

For protein intake aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight so 195g in this scenario.

If you only followed this one step accurately then weight loss is almost guaranteed. Tracking caloric intake mainly fails when people are not accurately tracking what they consume.

2. Walk 10-15,000 steps a day

Movement burns calories and walking specifically targets fat loss due to its low intensity nature. Walking also has a positive effect on lowering stress which can get in the way of weight loss. Ideally walk 30 minutes in the morning and evening and for 15 minutes after each meal.

3. Cut out any drinks with calories

The easiest way to go over your calorie goal for the day is by drinking your calories. Whether it’s a fancy latte, cocktail or even a healthy smoothie, the calories in drinks add up fast and don’t satiate the body as much as eating whole food. Stick to just drinking water and if you want some flavor use a zero calorie sweetener. Protein shakes low in fat and carbs are ok if you’re having trouble hitting your protein goal but aim to use whole foods as much as possible.

In addition, aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water.

4. Lift weights 3-4x a week

Building and maintaining muscle mass helps to increase metabolism and daily caloric expenditure. It will also help with managing and lowering cortisol which is the stress hormone. Insulin sensitivity increases which helps use glucose for energy and store less as fat. Resistance training also helps to regulate testosterone and estrogen which can help to improve mood and hormone balance.

5. Get rid of any junk food in the house

The easiest way to avoid temptation is to not be around it. If every time you look in the pantry there’s Oreos staring back at you then that’s all you’re going to think about when you’re hungry or stressed and in a moment of weakness. We have limited amounts of will power so it’s best to not test it at all times. Keep healthy options around to satisfy sweet cravings like fruit. Also avoid grocery shopping when hungry in order to stop yourself from buying junk that you’ll regret later.

Extra weight doesn’t just change how you look, it limits how you move, think, and perform. You demand excellence in your career, your body should be no different. Let’s get you performing Unbound. DM me to begin.

I’ve been a personal trainer for a decade now or almost a third of my life and I started working out two decades ago. When it came time to decide what to do for a career, this was the one field I knew I would always be involved in for the rest of my life. During this time, training people has been the only option. There was never a plan b or even a thought of having one.

Working on my own personal fitness has helped me to learn so much about myself and what I’m capable of. It’s been just as much a mental, emotional and spiritual journey as a physical one. Without fitness I wouldn’t have grown to be half the man I am now. I’m motivated by my own journey to share my expertise, beliefs and philosophies on physical training with others so that they may have the same opportunity for growth that I have.

I chose the name Unbound because it represents the heart of what I believe the purpose of physical training is. That is to live a life free of as many restrictions and limitations in the body as possible. As we get stronger, move better, increase athleticism etc., we break through physical limitations one by one. Each one we break through then opens up the mind to new possibilities we didn’t know existed for us.

It’s more than just lifting weights and counting sets and reps and trying to look good in the mirror or on the beach. That’s a part of it sure, but fitness can be so much more and my mission is to share that with as many people as I can.
