(Breather) After learning how to strike a delicate balance between setting and pursuing meaningful tangible goals while adopting a healthy, process-oriented mindset, we cut to the chase with 5 tips that will help you quickly and efficiently reduce excess body fat.

Well, it could be six tips with the first one being don’t get started down the slippery slope in the first place! Starting out, it’s important to accept the idea that losing fat is all about lowering insulin production, instead of the flawed and dated concept of eating fewer calories and burning more calories. This has now been scientifically proven to be ineffective per the compensation theory. Here are the five things that helped me, that I detail on this show:

12 noon: I re-established a firm rule of no caloric intake till 12 noon. This helps you bank more fasting hours, but also establishes structure, discipline, and a greater appreciation for meals.
Carnivore-ish: Naturally low carb/low insulin, incredibly high satiety and nutrient density, and excellent for fat reduction. Also, any restrictive diet helps you eat less food, less often, and eliminates decision fatigue. Listen to my shows with Dr. Paul Saladino (#1 and #2) and Dr. Shawn Baker to learn more about the carnivore diet.
Sprinting and Jumping: My properly conducted sprinting and high jump workouts send a powerful genetic signal to reduce fat, because the penalty for carrying extra weight is so severe in these activities (unlike shuffling along for a marathon.) Make sure your high intensity sessions are brief and explosive and not prolonged and exhausting, or you will trigger compensation theory dynamics.
Cold therapy: I believe my morning routine of 4-6 minutes in 34-38F water accelerated fat metabolism because I often experienced a spike in hunger afterward. Since it was way before noon, I ignored it and it would pass in 20 minutes. I have to think this kicked me into accelerated fat burning mode, something emerging research is suggesting. More on this topic soon!
Mindful eating: Eat in a calm setting at a relaxed pace. Notice the point at which you are satisfied instead of mindlessly chomping on while you watch TV. If you are going to indulge/celebrate, do so with full attention and appreciation instead of guilt.

Hopefully these tips, whether applied exactly or just honored in spirit, will help you on your journey. Let us know if you have questions, comments, feedback by emailing getoveryourselfpodcast@gmail.com.
