Client spotlight: @mccarthydane is a coaching client on @getverb who lost 15+lbs working with me. Dane and I started working together in May 2023 after meeting at HPLT. He was in great shape and aimed to drop 10-15 lbs of body fat. Reviewing his blood work together helped him understand his health markers. We set fat loss nutrition targets as a calorie budget, focusing on including his favorite foods. He started this journey at 220lbs, and is now sitting around 203-205lbs. Working with Dane has been a pleasure, and his potential is limitless!

What do I think about Group Fitness?

Something that is tailored specifically to you is always going to be superior to something that is completely generic to all people.

If you have money, spend it. What I mean by this is there are people out there (coaches, personal trainers) who are able to customize your programming. If you have the means to pay someone to listen to your goals and implement that into your training, DO IT.

Group Fitness is great for beginners, an excellent way to burn calories, make friends, develop a sense of community, and have additional accountability. But the fact of the matter is that everyone in that class is doing the same exact thing. Everyone has different goals with their physique, so this isn’t as effective as hiring someone to achieve your unique goals.

Specific results require specific training.

Here’s how I hit my daily 200g protein goal:

1️⃣ My mornings are on the go. I usually start the day with 2 @legendaryfoods pastries for 40g of protein.

2️⃣ Have a meal of chicken or shrimp with plenty of vegetables.

3️⃣ Enjoy a sandwich or burger on fiber-rich bread, including lean beef patties, baked fries, and 2 hard-boiled eggs.

4️⃣ Dinner consists of seafood like salmon, more vegetables, and sweet potatoes or rice.

5️⃣ And, yes, I eat dessert. I choose options like Halo Top or Yasso Greek yogurt bars – or simply Greek yogurt with mixed berries.

By sticking to this structure, I easily reach and oftentimes surpass my 200g protein goal. What are your favorite ways to hit your daily protein target?

If you’re looking for a nutritious boost of healthy fats for your oatmeal, yogurt, or smoothie – hemp hearts are an excellent choice. 180 calories and 10g of protein per serving – and they are a whole protein source (meaning they provide all essential amino acids).

Incorporating hemp hearts into your diet is an easy way to get PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) and MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids). Just be mindful of portion sizes and measure accurately, hemp hearts are calorie-dense, with a substantial amount of calories per tablespoon.

Is there one fruit to rule them all? Probably not, but if there was it would definitely be berries. A cup of berries has approximately 13,000 antioxidants. It’s got about 5 grams of fiber which is bonkers for so little calories, and it’s chock full of vitamins. I love to get these frozen berries from Costco, I have at least two cups a day. You could have it by itself or with a smoothie. Every time I make a protein shake it’s going to come with berries. Tastes f***ing amazing and keeps me feeling full. Whey protein, nonfat Greek yogurt, or a corn/pea protein blend is amazing to help you hit your macros. Have a tasty smoothie and feel satiated afterwards.

Trader Joe’s buttermilk protein pancake mix.

The macros are decent at 140 calories, 10g protein, 3g fiber, but it doesn’t pass the test.

My trick?

Add egg whites to the mix. It’ll bump up your protein-to-calorie ratio and it tastes great. You could add a whey protein powder to this mix, but I find that it really dries out the pancakes. Try the egg white trick and see what you think!

Agave is a great example of a garbage 🗑️ product that in no way is healthy but has been marketed well.

1️⃣ It’s highly processed.

2️⃣ Still contains sugar. Many people aiming to cut down on sugar are seeking alternatives for their diets. Agave isn’t it — it has 16g of sugar per serving.

3️⃣ It has no nutritional value. The micronutrients on this thing are abysmal. For 60 calories you are getting nothing but that — empty calories.

I prefer Stevia, a plant-based sweetener. Every day people are likely confused about artificial sweeteners because they are busy with careers and dependent on news/ social media to learn about health and wellness. You would have to have an absurd amount of aspartame for the dosage to be cancerous. The study involving erythritol literally used patients with prior heart disease as subjects. Not exactly reflective of general population.

For those concerned about artificial sweeteners, I recommend raw honey as a natural option. Both raw honey and agave have 60 calories and 16g sugar per tablespoon, but agave is highly processed whereas honey is filtered for debris, but that is the only processing that it undergoes.
