1. Prioritize dietary protein
To support muscle health, metabolism, and fat loss.
2. Resistance train 3-4x week
Muscle is the organ of longevity®. Skeletal muscle acts as your body armor throughout life and can mitigate conditions like insulin resistance, heart disease, and metabolic dysregulation.
3. Know your weaknesses
Know where you typically fail so you can plan ahead and put the systems in place for your success.
4. Minimize chaotic eating
Structure your food in a way to optimize your circadian biology. A good rule of thumb is to eat when the sun is up within an 8–10-hour window. If you are new to this way of timing your meals, you can start with a 12-hour window and work your way down.
5. Take control of your cravings
Prioritizing protein is one way to ease cravings. Another tool I often suggest to my patients is if cravings come up, do some push-ups or go for a walk, drink some water, and ask yourself if you’re still having that craving.
