What health weight / fat loss looks like...
There is so much BS out there when it comes to weight and fat loss that distort people perceptions and expectations.
Here is John’s scale weight & bodyfat progression over a 6 week period. He’s in his early 70s, lifts 3 times a week and swims 2-3 times a week.
He’s losing around .5 to 1lb a week and roughly .3 to 5% of bodyfat. He’s not starving. He has established ranges for calories and protein. He is calorie and carb cycling as we found that appears to be optimal for him to continue loosing weight while preserving lean body mass. He’s also intermittent fasting twice per week as a part of this cycling plan.
John challenges himself in his workouts but is not destroyed every time he walks out the door. We progressively increase his weight training but in an undulating fashion so that he’s not constantly “slamming himself into a brick wall”
Want to be like John?...
1. Track your food. Do this for at least a week before you start modifying too much.
2. Dial in your protein, eliminate sugary drinks and minimize processed carbs.
3. Track some kind of metric (scale weight, bodyfat, measurements). It doesn’t have to be the most perfect method, just try to eliminate as many variables as possible (weight yourself with the same scale, at the same time, on the same day, under the same circumstances).
4. Work with a coach who can help you outline a plan and develop new habits.
