Do 30 Seconds of an Activity Right Before You Eat

The first suggestion he has? "You can do 30 seconds of an activity right before you eat. You'll be able to increase your insulin sensitivity right before you eat. You'll be able to eat the same number of calories and store less as fat that way, plus you have a higher metabolism," he says.

Or, Add Spices to Your Food

"Or you can try to eat spicier food," he says. "If you were just to add spices to your food, you can literally eat the same number of calories once again and actually burn more of them without having them stored as body fat," he claims.

"It's not just any fermented food. According to our data, it seems that kimchi seems to far outweigh the benefits for weight loss and microbiome health compared to anything else," he continues. "So the yogurt just doesn't cut it. But if you could have kimchi in your diet, it can do absolute wonders."

Disruption of Blood Sugar Leads to Overeating

"If you want to learn how to stop overeating so you can melt body fat easier, this is the advice that we give to our clients inside of our health and life coaching program. And it's helped them melt 20, 50, a hundred plus pounds of body fat without counting calories," he continues. "This advice might work for you, too. By far, the biggest thing that is leading to overeating is a disruption in your blood sugar levels."

"What happens is you eat something that's high in carbohydrates and easy to digest, and you get a blood sugar spike. When you have a blood sugar spike, even if you're staying in normal ranges, your body will release insulin, which will cause a blood sugar spike down. That spike down causes you to feel uncontrollably hungry, where you feel like you can eat everything in sight," he says. "The solution to this is to add in complex carbohydrates, water, and a food from nature inside of that meal, and that's how you prevent binge eating."

And, Walking Is the Most Effective Workout for Losing Body Fat

"Walking has proven to be the most effective exercise for losing body fat, at least for my clients," adding that "it doesn't actually require a whole lot of effort in order to see phenomenal results with it." However, when you walk matters. "If you choose when you do your walk, you can actually maximize your results. So if you were to actually walk first thing in the morning or walk immediately after a workout for whatever reason, that seems to increase the amount of body fat you lose. And my theory is twofold," he says.

Walking in the Morning Can Help Curb Cortisol Levels When They Are the Highest

"One, when you walk in the morning, you get sunshine, and your cortisol levels are the highest. You can actually curb that and better metabolize stress hormones because cortisol has been shown to be both anabolic to fat and catabolic muscle. So you can curb that if you walk in the morning," he says.
