FAT LOSS FOR GUYS IN YOUR 40s ๐ฅ
Things change after 40. What worked in your 20s wonโt work anymore. Hereโs what actually does ๐
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
3 THINGS TO FOCUS ON
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ช MUSCLE
You lose muscle as you age โ and muscle is your bodyโs storage facility for carbs.
Lose it and you increase your risk of:
โ High blood sugar
โ Insulin resistance
โ Low energy
Most guys respond by cutting calories and doing more cardioโฆ
โฆand end up looking like a smaller, softer version of themselves.
Thatโs not the goal.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ฅฉ PROTEIN
Your body needs MORE protein as you get older to hold onto muscle.
Aim for 1.6โ2g per kg of your ideal body weight.
Want to weigh 80kg? Start at 80 x 1.6 = 128g per day.
95% of guys I work with are way under on protein.
Itโs one of the biggest reasons they carry more fat and less muscle than they should.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
๐ด RECOVERY
You canโt get away with poor sleep anymore.
7โ8 hours of quality sleep is non-negotiable.
Poor recovery = wrecked hormones.
Expect more cravings, less energy, and higher cortisol.
Fix your sleep. Fix your results.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ DO THIS
๐ MOVE MORE
Hit 7โ12k steps a day โ or just add 2k more than youโre averaging now. Simple.
๐ EAT IN A DEFICIT
Not a dramatic cut. A small, sustainable gap between what you eat and what you burn. Consistent beats perfect every time.
๐ STRENGTH TRAIN
This is the non-negotiable.
Lifting builds muscle, keeps your metabolism firing, improves insulin sensitivity and actually changes how you look.
3โ4 sessions a week. Progressive overload. Thatโs it.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ DONโT
โ๏ธ Cut carbs
โ๏ธ Try fad diets or quick fixes
โ๏ธ Slash your calories dramatically
โ๏ธ Add more high intensity training
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Drop fat. Build muscle. In your 40s.
Save this & share it with someone who needs it ๐

The money advice I drill into my kids?
Donโt spend it. Save it. Invest it. Let it compound. Thatโs the game.
You want to be a millionaire? Take 15โ50% of everything, your paycheck, side hustle, birthday money and let the market do its thing.
