The Fat Loss Blueprint

Hey everyone! I’m incredibly proud to announce that my first program — The Fat Loss Blueprint — has finally launched.

Most diet and fat loss programs spend all their time talking about diet and exercise. Our 18-lesson program spends only 2 lessons talking about those essential components. The other 16 are devoted to addressing the things that no one else considers, the things that could be silently sabotaging your dieting efforts and causing that insidious tightening of the belt.

Is normal weight an artifact of society?

We need to stop normalizing overweight and obesity. Yes, these are the most common weight statuses in the Western world, but that does not mean they should become the norm. The health detriments of being too fat are well established, and that needs to be made clear.

People are far more likely to pursue lifestyle changes to lose weight when they perceive themselves, or receive a doctor diagnosis, as overweight or obese. So, let’s get self-perceptions back on track.

Can you be too thin to health?

Being underweight is associated with an increased risk of death, just as being obese is, but the causes are fundamentally different. The risks of obesity are owed largely to having too much fat mass, while those of being underweight are owed primarily to having too little muscle mass.

Regardless, being underweight is nowhere near as large of a health concern considering how much more prevalent obesity is.
