Understanding Fat Loss

Fat loss happens when your body burns more energy than you take in. This creates a calorie deficit, forcing your body to use stored fat for fuel. But it’s not a fixed rule—if you’re not losing fat on 1500 calories, it doesn’t mean you can’t. Everyone has internal “health handbrakes” that can slow things down. I’ve had numerous clients who came to me stuck while killing themselves doing cardio on a starvation diet less than 1500 calories. After a few weeks of addressing these health handbrakes they were torching fat on 2000 calories with zero cardio. Fat loss should not be hard.

Addressing “Health Handbrakes”

These handbrakes make fat loss tough if ignored. Key culprits include:

• Low Thyroid Function: Directly slows your metabolism.
• Poor Sleep: Disrupts hormone balance and energy use.
• Gut Health Issues: Puts your body in a stress state, causing it to hold onto fat.

The first step is to start with an advanced health screening from a professional to find your specific issues. Once addressed, fat loss gets much easier.

Nutrition: Focus on Quality Over Quantity

Resolving handbrakes often means eating nutrient-dense foods. Think holistic, real foods like organ meats, quality meat, fruits, and high-fat animal sources. These provide vital micronutrients that optimize hormones, thyroid function, and metabolism. It’s the micronutrients in your food that regulate hormones, detoxification, metabolism… not macronutrients or the calories we consume.

Focusing on what you eat (quality) matters more than how much. Nutrient-dense foods curb cravings and boost fullness, so you naturally eat less without the struggle of counting calories.

Increasing Activity and Building Muscle

Next, ramp up your daily movement or activity level and add resistance training. Muscle is metabolically active—it burns more energy even at rest, setting you up for long-term fat loss and a leaner, stronger body. It’s not just about fat loss. Muscle will optimize your hormones while offering numerous other overall health benefits. It’s your best anti-aging investment.

Supercharging Results with Peptides

While foundational supplements like creatine and melatonin are beneficial, peptides are the real game-changers for accelerating fat loss. They are powerful because they upregulate your body’s natural systems instead of hijacking them. They can boost your own growth hormone production, enhancing metabolism, fat burning, and recovery without forcing unnatural changes. Some of them can even stop you from storing fat. They are miracle messaging molecules in your body that when used right can transform your health and progress.
