Summary

Today, I’m going to share a few weight loss tips that will help you tap into fat-burning very quickly. Weight loss can be simple if you utilize the right techniques!

1. Follow a keto diet—consume the right fats and the right types of protein.

A keto diet is low in carbs, but there are some specific guidelines you should follow to lose weight quickly. Avoid omega-6 fatty acids found in seed oils like corn oil, soy oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil.

Consumption of these ultra-processed, highly inflammatory seed oils directly correlates with obesity rates. Seed oils are often hidden in salad dressings and fast food and can even be found in animal feed.

It’s also important to choose the correct proteins on keto. Opt for high-quality proteins like grass-fed, grass-finished beef and wild-caught fish.

2. Eat a large salad every day.

A large salad each day provides potassium, magnesium, folate, vitamin C, and phytonutrients. If your salad greens are grown in healthy, living soil, the salad also provides probiotics. This helps diversify the microbiome, helping you to lose weight quickly.

If you have gut issues, consume fermented vegetables or eliminate vegetables altogether.

3. Combine the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting.

To lose fat quickly, combine keto with intermittent fasting. Dropping to one meal per day (OMAD) yields the fastest results.

On one meal a day, you will fast for 23 hours. This gets your body adapted to running on fat very quickly. You’ll also notice cognitive improvements, positive mood changes, and decreased inflammation.

4. Exercise regularly, but don’t overdo it!

Walking and HIIT are the best exercises to lose belly fat fast. Walking every day speeds up weight loss, reduces stress, and improves sleep. Improved sleep reduces cortisol and enhances growth hormones, both of which are necessary for weight loss.

HIIT exercise involves short, intense workouts that work all muscle groups. Do not overdo it with exercise! You only need to do HIIT 1 to 3 days per week.

0:00.0	Today I'm going to share with you the absolute fastest way to lose your belly.
0:06.0	Now you could have the best willpower, the best discipline, really want it, really bad,
0:12.0	and never really see any results because you're missing the
0:15.6	technique you're missing the strategy I'm the perfect example I took guitar
0:19.4	lessons for six years right as a. And I never really progressed or never really went anywhere
0:25.8	because the techniques that were taught to me were just not that great. The same thing
0:30.9	happened with tennis in college. I was never taught the right technique and so I would use force and I would keep practicing but practice incorrectly.
0:40.0	Never went anywhere. And this really applies with weight loss too because if you have the right way of doing something, you don't have to put so much effort into it.
0:48.6	So what I'm going to show you is the fastest way to achieve your goal. Number one, when you do the ketogenic diet, it's not
0:56.2	differentiated what type of fats you should be eating. In other words, keto is really about low-carb. You assume it's high-fat, but there's certain ketogenic
1:07.2	diets that are actually low-fat, like ideal protein, for example, and others are very high in fat. But in this first
1:16.2	tip we're going to talk about the type of fats. This is so so important
1:20.4	because I did a deep dive into chronic obesity and as you know obesity keeps
1:26.6	going higher and higher and higher and higher.
1:29.4	There's really only one thing that I know that perfectly parallels this rise in obesity.
1:35.0	It's actually seed oils, omega-6 fatty acids.
1:40.1	I'm talking about the rise of corn oil, the soy oil, the cotton seed, the canola, the saffler oil, the
1:45.4	sunflower oils. All the omega-6 highly processed, ultra-processed, highly inflammatory oils.
1:54.8	And by the way, as a side note, it's very, very unnatural to consume this concentrated refined
1:59.9	oil from seeds.
2:01.9	And it's hidden in your dressing that you use on your salad.
2:04.7	You're going to get it in fast food restaurants. In fact, you're probably going to
