Frustrated with fat loss I was stuck at 176 for 4 weeks in a 1800 daily deficit.

These pictures are 62 days apart. I followed 6 simple laws EVERY DAY that proved I was losing fat and kept me going through low motivation and the scale stalled. Pushed to my limit when for 4 weeks I didn’t lose any weight on the scale. 😭

If you’re struggling to lose fat this is your ultimate guide for fat loss: Fat loss is different from weight loss but I’m going to walk you through losing fat the correct sustainable way.

Now what if I told you that you will NOT have to starve yourself. You will NOT have to eat chicken and rice 🍚 for the rest of your life. You will NOT have to spend 3 hours a day in the gym 6.5 days out the week 😮‍💨

You WILL simply have to change your relationship with food. You will be eating nutritious whole foods high in protein that leave you feeling full for longer.

You WILL lift weights and strength train for about 55-75 minutes a day 3-5x a week.

You WILL get around 7 hours of sleep, waking up feeling refreshed and full of energy like your teens.

That’s all that is required. Ignore people suggesting drugs, Reta, GLP1’s, I will give you all you need.

  1. Track Calories and weigh your food

  2. Hit your protein goal 💪🏾

  3. Sleep 7+ hours 💤

  4. Hit your daily steps goal 🚶🏽

  5. Lift weights & mobility 🏋🏾

  6. Hit your target calorie deficit 🎯

If you can follow those 6 laws completely. The weight will melt off. You never have to guess because each law is directly tied to losing body fat and building muscle.

Remember the key to fat loss is to build muscle while in a high protein calorie deficit. That’s why it’s necessary to lift weights hard, and focus on nutrition.

This way it’s sustainable, and the reason why we stay lean ALL year around (Example Workouts in the comments on request)

All that matters is you train the muscle to failure

It’s easier to do this with heavier weights and reach true failure. More strain on the muscle 🧬 the harder the muscle works to repair tissue STRONGER which will lead to you looking how you want faster

With training like this let me be clear.. you NEED to pair them with the 6 laws of leansique which includes RECOVERY❤️‍🩹

You CAN NOT train your body like this without taking recovery seriously. I’ve made that easy and sustainable as well with the nutrition plan you’re already on. (Nutrition advice ask in comments)

Overall you will need about 150 grams of protein a day to properly recover, and 7+ hours of sleep to repair torn muscle tissue

Sleep is a cheat code many people ignore. Bad sleep tanks recovery, muscle growth, and sabotaging fat loss progress, throwing your hormones all out of balance. Do not disregard your sleep and take it as a joke 💤 🛌

That might mean some sacrifices. You might not go out drinking with the boys. You might not try new restaurants with the girls. However your you’ll began to notice your relationship will change with food. Slowly your new habits will kick in and you’ll start to see food as fuel vs fun and dopamine hits.

Your kids will pick up your new habits and get healthier as well. You will wake up and not be tired, you’ll have more energy out of nowhere, your heart health will recover. People will treat you 10x better than they do now.

Calories have to be counted and you have to weigh your food. Every day, every meal.

Sauces, condiments, dressings, wine🍷

Drinks Liquor Snacks 🍪

They all count. WEKENDS COUNT.

If you need help ask, I’ll answer all questions I can

Why more exercise does not always mean faster fat/weight loss

A lot of people hit a fat loss slowdown and immediately think the answer is more exercise.

More cardio. More sweat. More classes. More days. More punishment.

Sometimes that helps. A lot of the time, it just makes the process messier.

More exercise does not always mean faster fat loss because fat loss is not just about what happens during workouts. It is also about recovery, hunger, adherence, stress, daily movement outside training, and whether the whole setup is still sustainable once real life starts pushing back.

For example, some people add a bunch of extra exercise and then unknowingly eat more because they are hungrier. Others train harder, get more tired, move less the rest of the day, and wonder why the math does not feel as dramatic as it should. Some just become so exhausted that their diet gets worse because all they want is convenience, comfort, and more food.

This is where people confuse effort with outcome.

A harder plan is not always a better one. A plan that keeps you active, supports your deficit, and does not make you rebound every weekend is usually more powerful than one that leaves you flattened and constantly negotiating with yourself.

There is also a mental trap here. More exercise feels like action. It feels noble. It feels like you are attacking the problem. Tightening up calorie awareness, controlling portions, walking more consistently, and fixing weekend behavior often works better, but it feels less dramatic, so people delay doing it.

That does not mean exercise is not useful. It absolutely is. Cardio helps. Strength training helps. Movement matters a lot. But there is a point where adding more creates less return than people expect.

A good fat loss setup is not about seeing how much discomfort you can stack into a week. It is about building enough activity and enough structure to make progress repeatable.

I'm having problems losing body fat and i dont know what to do.

I'm an average size for my age, but I would like to lose more body fat because it just looks unproportional on my body. I am 5'3 and weigh 100 pounds. Last year I weighed 120 but I got extremely sick and at that point in my life it was was tough time. In 3 days I lost that weight. I struggle a lot mentally, and I get stuck in my mind thinking its weight I have to lose in order to be skinny and beautiful. In reality its just fat I have to lose. Im teetering to 99 pounds and I promised my boyfriend I'm not going to go down to double digits as horrible as I feel about eating sometimes.

If anyone can please help, I would love to have thoughts on how to help me. I hate being so in my mind about it. I just need honest advice. I can't keep losing weight I feel like its making it worse than it already is.

Stopping lifting…

Hi all, I’m 230lbs, Male, 5ft 10, 30% body fat. Been lifting on and off for years.

Haven’t seen major improvements as whilst my diet has been decent I just drink and ruin it all at weekends. Because of my weight I do have minor knee pain and I’m at a point where I’m thinking I’d just be better off not lifting and just making sure I don’t drink.

Can somebody please talk some sense into me as I know I’ll regret not lifting if I stop.

Thank you!

35M needs advice for fat loss (35-40% bf) please, help!

Hey everyone. I'm a 35M person with a decent muscle size but with 35-40% body fat. My height is 175cm (5'9) and my weight 105kg (230lbs). I want to get to 10-13% and maintain it year round but I was wondering about using some supplement or aid to accelerate the results. I'm done being this big so this is what I'm gonna do (correct me if you see anything wrong, please):

  1. Gym 3-4 times a week (upper/lower)
  2. 10k steps daily
  3. 2200 calories. 180P/75F and the rest carbs
  4. Sleep 7-9 hours

Is fasting something to consider? And when it comes to compounds, I was reading about Retatrutide, Tirzepatide, and some others so which one would yo recommend for a guy in my situation?

I know calorie deficit is a must but I get hungry all the damn time so I don't know

Thanks in advance.

Herletics app reviews from women who started completely out of shape?

Hi, hoping someone here can help me out. I’m 27, havent worked out since high school, cant get up 2 flights of stairs without being winded. Gym is too intimidating rn so looking at home options. Herletics keeps coming up but most reviews Ive read are from people who already had some baseline fitness.
Would love to hear from anyone who started from actually zero. Were the easiest workouts doable on day 1, how long before you felt like you were improving, did you stick with it past the first month. Thanks!

How did u actually loose face fat??is it diet?? Loosing overall body fat ??or both?

I'm trying to reduce face fat and was wondering what actually worked for you.

Did your face get slimmer just by losing overall body fat, or did you do anything specific that made a noticeable difference?

How do I lose this pouch?

Excuse the messy bedroom. I’m a mom of two and I’m tired. Like title asks, how do I lose this pouch? My pants are tight so it kind of conceals it. It’s very stubborn. Specifically, what are some tips for someone that doesn’t have a lot of extra time? I am pretty active at work as I’m in the healthcare field and do lots of walking. I try to not eat any more than 2000 calories a day. Also try to aim for sugar free drinks/treats.

Has anyone here gone from fat legs to shredded legs?

I’ve seen a lot of leg transformation posts where people go from skinny legs to big, muscular legs, but I rarely see anyone who started with fat, flabby legs and ended up with really defined, shredded legs.
I used to be overweight, and I’ve managed to get down to the point where I have visible 6-pack abs. The problem is my legs still don’t have much definition. They don’t look lean the way my upper body does, and it’s honestly starting to make me lose hope.
Has anyone here actually gone through this transformation? If so, would you mind sharing your before-and-after photos or telling me what finally made the difference? I just want to know it’s actually possible.

Thanks!

Lower belly fat

How do I get rid of this? I did ab exercises for awhile to strengthen my core to tighten my stomach but that did not work. I have done cardio, mainly walking a lot and that did not work.

​

Context I am 5'7, was 155 or more lbs, and have lost around 25-30 lbs and have been stuck at 125-130 for many months. I am now finally slimming down and toning more, but I seem to never get rid of this!
