I’ll come right out and say it, cause, you know … that’s my style …
Caloric Deficits are the KEY to your Fat Loss (if that’s a goal for you).
Taking in less energy (food) then you expend, is what will allow stubborn fat to dissipate.
When you couple a Caloric Deficit with Strength Training, Proper Sleep and Everyday Movement, your results are pretty much on lock.
I’ll admit, I have some stubborn fat … as a result of extra skin.
I used to weigh close to 260 lbs at my peak in High School, as an offensive lineman on the Football team.
I had a roly-poly belly, and as a result, the skin stretched (stretch marks anyone?) and hasn’t rebounded …
I’m not in love with the sight of it … however, I do love and appreciate how I received it and the part it gets to help me play in others lives.
You see, learning to go through my own struggles, is what allows me to actually be a really great coach.
I know what it’s like to have that negative self-talk always revolving around the ol’ dome piece, plus, have to look at something everyday that I want to be different.
I can relate.
The other day at the doctors I weighed 192 lbs, and I have been lower and leaner, though, not necessarily happier … still had some of that puffy belly thing going on … not all the way ripped.
Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my relationship with food and fat loss, plus all the other BS that you’ve most likely talked about in your head, huh?
I’d love to have the ripped, sexy body, with like 6% bodyfat and have it be easy to reach AND easy to maintain, right? … you know, so I can eat pumpkin pie all day, and pizza all night, with no worries.
Don’t you want it to be really easy too?
Of course you do, and I do … We’re human too.
The thing is, and I feel confident saying this, having been on both sides of the fence, so to speak … IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY.
We have to decide what we will be happy with, and what we will be happy without.
At the end of the day, does being the leanest, most sexiest person in the room really even matter?
Maybe you strike a balance between having some extra bodyfat and still enjoying life, because you’re happy with how you look when you workout 3x a week, walk everyday and eat ice cream for dessert.
Maybe, like me, you realize you can be happy and healthy without being being perfect.
Without being the strongest.
Without being the smartest.
Without being the coolest.
So, with that said, if you really want to dial in your fat loss, eat 100 to 500 less calories a day.
It’s easier than exercising to lose 100 to 500 calories more.
Boom!

P.S. Here are 4 more ways you can become happier and healthier:
1. Podcasts
Some of the greatest insights and healing for me, have come from listening to podcasts in the last few years. This long-form type of communication, I’ve found, has been extremely important for understanding context, while learning how to make sustainable change.
That’s why I have started to find ways to get our story on some podcasts, and give you an opportunity to really go deep with us, and see what we’re all about. That way, you can decide if this tribe fits your personality. Click the link below to go to our podcast page, where you can find all our episodes!
2. Rise
Rise is the story of ‘never feeling powerful … to … never feeling powerless’. It’s about John Bair’s life, why he does what he does and how his suffering created happiness.
This handwritten book takes you through an intimate, yet, self-revealing journey, which allows you to implant yourself into the story, as it relates to your own, and reveal the steps you’ll need to take, in order to make change a successful reality.
