Weight loss hacks

Fasting is the magic bullet, guys.

You can easily get up to a 20-hour fast (which means eating in a 4 hour window). It's ultimately a form of caloric restriction and as someone who had done is regularly (meaning not all the time but for months, yes) - IT WORKS.

One of the things I discovered is exercising on an empty stomach. If you exercise too soon after eating, your body burns sugars for fuel. There's nothing wrong with that. It's good to burn up that excess sugar. But if you exercise on an empty stomach, your body has no choice but to go to the fat for fuel.

I think the general consensus is eat less and work out more.

If you can get through the first month at the gym. Just 3 times a week. Alternating back, chest legs and shoulders. Your arms will naturally a muscle workout with the core exercises. Add a half hour of moderate cardio. I do a fast walk on the treadmill with an incline. Let the machine adjust the incline based on my heart rate. First 8 to 10 minutes can be tough but gets much easier after that. It gets easier after you get through that first month as well.
Side effects is you start paying attention to you food intake. Your body starts craving the right kind of foods. Proteins, vegetables and fruits.
And I heard from another gym goer that he feels his muscles burning calories the next day not even working out. I told yeah I have that feeling as well

A great treadmill cardio is 12 / 3 / 30. So min 12 degree incline, at a min speed of 3, for 30min. Then up those numbers as that gets easier to do.

This is pretty good advice for any novice who is just starting out. I find that a lot of people try to go too hard in the paint when starting to go to the gym and end up burning out less than a month in and then fall back into bad habits
