Dan’s Weight Loss Revelation: Achieving Weight Loss by Eating More

You might be questioning Dan’s sanity when he claims to have lost weight by eating more. Was he surviving on a diet of celery alone? The truth is that Dan enjoyed a variety of foods; he simply increased his protein intake.

While attending a business conference in Mexico with Russell Brunson and 600 other business owners, a late-night session on health caught Dan’s attention. Despite the midnight hour, he took notes and discovered a straightforward approach to healthy eating—a matter of simple math.

The formula was clear: Consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight, adjusting to 0.75 grams for females. Dan, weighing in at 213 pounds, aimed for 213 grams of protein daily, while his wife targeted 120 grams.

Meeting these protein goals posed challenges, but Dan found tricks to help. For instance, 1 pound of lean meat equates to approximately 100 grams of protein, making it easier to reach the target.

Russell also emphasized that your daily calorie intake should be 10 times your body weight. Starting at 213 pounds, Dan aimed for 2130 calories per day, adjusting as he lost weight.

In just a week of adopting this new eating approach (not a diet, as Dan was consuming more), he successfully reduced his daily calorie intake to less than 2000 calories. The key to Dan’s weight-loss journey? Simple math and a protein-packed diet.

Here are some helpful hints I can offer on this topic:

1. Discover a helpful app to assist you in tracking all of this

Utilize the pre-installed health app on your smartphone; it’s incredibly user-friendly. Simply input your meals, and it provides precise details on your protein, carbs, calories, and fat intake.

2. Don’t stress about your food choices during the initial week

Although it may seem counterproductive, focus on tracking your calorie and protein intake initially. Avoid the drastic shift from consuming 350 calories and 50 grams of protein in a day, as it can lead to irritability and an unpleasant experience.

3. Focus on protein intake initially, then fine-tune calorie intake. Prioritizing protein helps curb hunger and forms a solid basis for dietary adjustments

Prioritizing protein intake keeps hunger at bay. I’m all-in when pursuing a goal. Within a week of embracing this approach, I lost over 13 pounds, all while feeling satisfied.

Here’s a snapshot of my daily meals.

Breakfast:

1 cup of coffee with heavy whipping cream, 4 poached eggs, one piece of toast, and meat if available. Without steak, it’s about 412 calories and 28 grams of protein. With ½ pound of meat, it’s about 529 calories and 53 grams of protein.

Lunch:

One favorite lunch option is two tuna sandwiches. 4 pieces of bread, 1 can of tuna, 3 servings of French’s mustard, 1 serving of whipped dressing, 2 cups of garden salad, and ½ serving of shredded cheese.

Without cheese, it’s about 434 calories and 31.6 grams of protein.

With cheese, it has 544 calories and 37 grams of protein.

Lunch 2:

Enjoy a protein pancake with Greek yogurt. Prepare one protein pancake with goji berries, a serving of super seed mix, ½ serving of pumpkin seeds, and one serving of Greek yogurt with mixed fruit. Mix the seeds in the batter before cooking, and dip the pancake in Greek yogurt for a delightful treat.

This meal has 503 calories and 47 grams of protein.

Dinner:

Anything I want to eat, as long as it includes meat! By this point, I have about 1000 calories left to consume, allowing me to enjoy a variety of options within reason.

Here’s the key factor that helped me stick to this new eating routine:

1. It became effortless, and after a month of consistent tracking, I could easily gauge my daily intake.

2. Initially, meeting my protein goals was challenging, but over time, I learned how to ensure I hit them consistently—even when dining with friends, traveling, or working on-site.

3. In the initial month, I shed nearly 15 pounds without incorporating any extra exercise into my daily routine.

4. My energy levels soared, making it significantly easier for me to stay productive and accomplish more each day.
