Introduction: The Wake-Up Call [0:00]

I really enjoyed listening to your story! You’re amazing success! When I used to run up to 17 miles! Then i needed hip surgery! I was down to 160! Since i can’t run anymore! My weight creeped up to 195! I still go walking! Lift weights! I’ll be 56 in June! I want my lean body look back! When I was on keto I was eating 6 eggs everyday! Then i stopped keto with thot 6 eggs! I go between 3 or 2 with egg whites! Whole wheat muffins! Greek yogurt blueberries!! Can you share what you eat in a day?

Losing it in your 40's is a lot different from losing it in your 20's.

[@Tremelle_]

Most definitely

[@darrendrake6394]

100%

[@firemanfostercfd]

Thank you for sharing. There are too many unsustainable diets that people fall for that only offer temporary results. Counting macros is the only sustainable way

[@LennefalkStudios]

If it fits your macros, with mostly whole foods together with intermittent fasting, strength training and walking definitely have been key for me to get and stay in shape at 37 🔥💪😊

[@FitnessToday69]

how tall are u

[@anul6801]

Dude had better facial features at 30% than i had at 16

[@GoneCarnivore]

I believe low carb can help lose weight at the expense of muscle. At least this has been my result of cutting carbs.

[@JosiahFitness]

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of low carb. But it does work for some

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Low carb is terrible. Your energy and strength goes way down, I don't care what anyone says. I've experimented and anything lower then your body weight in G/carbs per days you suffer in the gym.

[@brentsproc]

Lol

[@JMichael-ku3gd]

From miserable to sustainable. People need to hear this!

[@JosiahFitness]

Massive shift!
