Originally, losing this weight was for self help.. As a 34-year-old dad weighing nearly 280 lbs, I faced the stark reality of heart disease and diabetes looming in my future. I wanted to be active with my two young boys but knew a change was inevitable. I couldn’t out-exercise my bad eating habits, so I focused on the kitchen. Here’s what I learned: Caloric Deficit: Essential for weight loss, achieved through diet or extra cardio. High Protein: Helps retain muscle and keeps you full. Simplified Goals: Focused on a calorie deficit and high protein intake. With these rules, I created meals like a 450-calorie, 50g protein double cheeseburger. Over a year, I lost 78 lbs and transformed my life. Join me on this journey! #chicken #bacon #ranch #cozy #fatlosstips #healthyliving #fitnessjourney #highprotein #EasyRecipes #cook

🍔 Hit me with a “struggle is real” in the comments.. 5 ebooks going out in the next 24hrs. MY STORY BELOW 👇 I used to struggle with making lasting changes. I’d try out a plan for a few weeks, but would lose steam and give up before I could see results. Btw If you aren’t 1 of the 5.. we are still running 70% off ❤️ ✅ My biggest challenge was figuring out nutrition. I used to believe carbs were the enemy.

And I honestly thought eating healthy meant nothing but chicken, broccoli, and rice every day. ✅ What worked for me was making nutrition simple. After a bit of research, I realized calorie tracking isn’t so hard (shoutout to the MyFitnessPal app!). I learned I could still enjoy my favorite foods—like burgers and tacos—by swapping out a few ingredients. Over time, what once felt like my biggest struggle turned into my secret weapon. ✅ If you’re starting fresh, don’t stress. I’ve been there, and I’m here to tell you it’s all about taking small steps.

This post is for those who feel like change is out of reach. If you’ve watched transformation videos and thought, “That’s nice, but not for me,” I understand. I often expressed a desire to change, but my actions didn’t match. In 2021, I finally asked myself if I was living my best life for my family. I found the strength to get off the couch and take action. To all the busy parents, I know life is challenging, but you can get in shape. If I can go from doubting myself to gaining over 4.5 million followers, so can you. You’re capable of more than you think. Let’s keep pushing forward!
