Three-By-Five Meal Framework
- Do three meals a day, five hours apart and avoid snacking between meals.
- Eat protein, veggies, and fats for breakfast and lunch, and swap fats for carbs at dinner to improve sleep and fat loss.
Carbs At Night Improve Sleep
- Eating carbs at night can improve serotonin and melatonin production and thus sleep quality.
- Better sleep is a central pillar for successful fat loss and recovery.
Make Strength Training Nonnegotiable
- Prioritize resistance training as the foundation for longevity and fat burning.
- Train three to four times weekly with sessions up to 60 minutes and ensure sufficient intensity.
