I’m on a Whole Foods diet. That place is so expensive I only get half the food I used to. 😂

Man, this guy is an absolute blessing. No BS, no gimmicks, no schemes, no narcissistic rants... Just straight up facts, a passion for what he does, and a desire to help people. Authenticity, competence, and altruism... Quite refreshing in this day and age... Fashion yourselves like this, people.

Last tip: Don't get too obsessed with the minimum bit of fat left in your abdomen.

I underwent total thyroidectomy some 15 years ago. Achieving euthyroid state has been damn near impossible (when TSH is good T4 goes wacky and vice versa), and you know how thyroid problems undermine literally everything else. I'm the second kind of person doc is talking about: working out hard, eating right, watching macros, blah blah yadda yadda, and the visceral and subcutaneous fat just will not budge. I'm not giving up, but it's so bloody frustrating.

I realized early on that I have very low hunger signals. I used to think I had more "will power" than most, but honestly, I just don't get hungry often. That makes it very easy for me to stay in a deficit.

Spot on Doc, I’m the 2nd type and that last bit of tummy fat magically disappears usually when I’m on point for 3-4 weeks or traveling and eating 1.5 good meals a day and not eating chocolate or sweets.

Commenting here to boost the algorithm. Thanks for the information that you share with. Consistency (in good things) is really key in losing that belly fat
