Preparatory Steps

Step 0: Setting Goals

• Importance of goals: Specific target weight and duration.
• Example: Client Tori—217 lbs, 35 years old, moderately active.

• Goal Structure: Clear start and end targets (e.g., Tori: 217 lbs to 184.45 lbs).

Step 1: Perfect Caloric Deficit

• Caloric deficit basics: Calculate Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) using factors like BMR, activity level, etc.
• Meal composition: 20% calories from fats, 40% from carbs, 40% from protein.
• Caloric balance: Eat less than you burn (e.g., burning 3000, eating 2500 calories/day).
• Tools: Apps like MyFitnessPal, MacroFactor, AI calculators to set specific macros.
• Common mistakes: Not tracking food, eyeballing portions, drinking calories, inconsistency.
• Tips: Use whole foods for 80% of your diet, enjoy your diet to sustain it.

Step 2: Cardio Accelerator

• Formal cardio: Structured workouts with machines, specific durations and intensity.
• Step Challenge: Example: Clients increasing from 5000 to 20,000 steps/day.
• Cardio protocols: Use treadmill, stairmaster with specified settings and gradually increase intensity and duration.

• Benefits: More focus, improved energy, better cognitive function, enhanced insulin sensitivity.
• Adapting: Start with 12-hour fasts, gradually increase to 16 hours as calorie intake reduces.

Step 4: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

• Protocol: Short bursts of high intensity followed by active rest (e.g., 30 sec sprints, 90 sec walk).
• Benefits: Enhanced fat burning, cardiovascular fitness, muscle mass improvement.

Step 5: Supplements

• Weight protein: Helps meet protein goals, improves thermic effect of food.
• Creatine: Enhances performance output, muscle building.
• Caffeine: Aids in fat breakdown, boosts energy, and workout performance.
• Sleep supplements: Magnesium, L-theanine, melatonin for better sleep quality.
