I like the part where he talks about how much lower your net calories are when you eat a lot more protein with the same amount of calories. Similar to how Hebrews does it. He showed how is he ate 3k calories per day and 144g of protein vs. 3k calories and 275g of protein, the net deficit at the end of a month was an extra 4400 calories which is an extra 1.25 pounds of fat. Plus it will leave you more satiated. I posted about this before, but it's a nice reminder. The thermic effect of protein is a great bonus.

Excellent. I would suggest this one, especially for a serious cut - Pre-plan meals and prep so that you always know what your next meal is and have it more or less at hand. Always did this when I lost all the weight. Lapsed. Recent diet fails have occurred nearly 100% around hitting that hunger crunch time with no plan. Restarted this past week. Zero diet fails. Game changer for me.

Love Will's advice and channel and mini-challenges/experiments. The only thing I don't follow is "don't drink your calories" - I choose to sometimes.

It's so true about protein - can't beat it for bennies! throw in some fiber and you'll be full for hours!

Am currently working on #8 - make it fun so you'll stick with it. Taking an in-person Barre Method class next week, now that 2nd Pfizer grace period it up. Miss working out with others, and also having an instructor that can correct my form to get the most out of the exercises. Thanks for posting this, Diablo.

I did most of those for awhile, but I’m taking a little break and just counting and exercising a little, that’s it. But yes, I still will be counting and exercising slightly!

Edit: Most of those as in 6/8 of them. It was good but not easy, so instead of breaking down completely, I’m still tracking but not worrying about protein, working out a lot, etc.

Zylie, you can eat or drink anything as long as it fits your calorie goals. I still drink milk and protein shakes. I think smoothies are great.

Huge Will Tenny fan here. And who doesn’t love mama Tenny! Lol. That lady is my hero and introduced me to seated plank twists. I am definitely getting the cookbook when it comes out.

Great summary D... also a little extra protein helps protect a person from breaking down lean muscle and helps lean muscle growth when very active.

Thanks Diablo for taking the time to share your tips. I completely agree with #8. I played tennis for 30+ years and made many friends over the years through that sport as well as snow skiing, hiking, roller blading, water sports, etc. I commend you for your dedication to weight lifting. I think we each need to find our jam that makes us happy and it looks like you and DP have done just that. God bless you both. You are an inspiration.
