I went from 220 to 197 lbs over a slow burn, going from 23% bodyfat (estimated) to 13% (verified by DEXA). An ice cream sandwich still fits the plan. Somehow, that part surprises people more than the 23 pounds. 😆If you’re a busy parent trying to lose fat after 40, I’ll walk you through six habits my clients use to win so easily it feels illegal.We’ll cover how to make room for Saturday dinner, why a walk after work counts, and what to do in the gym when you’ve only got 30 minutes.Get your starting calorie and protein targets with my free calculator: https://mitchcalvert.com/calculatorChapters 00:00 Why fat loss feels harder than it needs to 01:32 Calories, adherence and protein: the CAP method 02:38 Getting your steps in when you sit all day 03:42 How to budget for a big Saturday dinner 04:47 Strength training in 30–45 minutes 05:43 Why one pound a week is a win 06:35 Water, sleep and someone who checks in 07:42 What to start with tomorrowConnect With Me:⭐️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/mitchcalvertfitness⭐️ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/mitch-calvert-online-fat-loss-coach/

Scurvy is back... Not on a pirate ship in the 17th century, but in 2026, how and why?? In this episode of the Winning at Weight Loss Podcast, Mitch sits down with, William Grand, CEO of Nutrifusion, a company that concentrates real fruit and vegetable nutrition into an ingredient that ends up in foods you already buy (he's under NDA, so he can't say which). He's been in the food industry since 2008, and he's blunt about what's happening: 65 to 75 percent of the average North American diet is ultra-processed, and GLP-1 drugs are quietly making the problem worse. People on GLP-1s eat less, but they eat the same junk, and nutrient deficiencies are showing up. Including a disease we thought we'd left in the 1700s... yes, scurvy, in some cases.Even if you aren't on a GLP-1, you'll learn how to become an informed shopper with this episode. We cover how to shop when you have 20 minutes and no nutrition degree, why the front of the box lies and the back tells the truth, why frozen might beat fresh (especially in a Winnipeg winter), and what anyone on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro needs to fix right now to keep their muscle, their gut moving, and their vitamin C above pirate deficient levels.Connect with William: [email protected] or nutrifusion.com (B2B site, but there's a store icon top right).Ready to lose fat without starving or living on shakes?

Robbie Williams is the most notable person to say he got scurvy while on a GLP treatment.

Peptides and PEDs are more mainstream than ever.Testosterone. Growth hormone. BPC-157. GLP-1s. Research peptides. Traditional anabolic steroids. Some work. Some have legitimate medical applications. Some are promising.But there are risks and trade-offs that don't get nearly as much attention.In this video for entertainment purposes only, I share my own experience using steroids in my early 20s, including the major crash I experienced after coming off, and break down some of the less-obvious risks of peptides and PEDs.We cover the placebo effect, psychological dependence, fertility, blood markers, cardiovascular health, questionable research-chemical quality control, and the massive difference between using these tools to supplement a healthy lifestyle versus trying to use them to replace one.

Why does weight loss feel almost effortless for some people, while others have to fight tooth and nail to lose the same 10 pounds?The answer isn’t simply willpower. And no, your metabolism probably isn’t “broken.”In this video, I break down why a calorie deficit is required for fat loss, but maintaining that deficit can be MUCH harder for some people than others.We’ll cover hunger and appetite, metabolic adaptation, GLP-1 medications, genetics, sleep, exercise and why your original calorie deficit can slowly disappear as you lose weight.Most importantly, I’ll show you how to make fat loss easier instead of more extreme.Because if your diet requires heroic amounts of willpower every day, you probably don’t need more discipline.You need a better diet.I’ll also explain the approach I’m currently using to lose a pound per week while dropping 2 inches from my waist in 8 weeks... and still eating an ice cream bar every night and meals out on weekends.If you're a busy parent over 40 who wants to lose fat without living on chicken and broccoli, subscribe.Find me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/mitchcalvertfitnessDM me BIG 5 and I’ll send you my foundational fat-loss principles.Chapters00:00 Why Weight Loss Feels Harder for Some People00:45 The 2 Truths About Losing Weight01:11 Calories Still Determine Weight Loss01:59 Two Dieters, Same Deficit, VERY Different Experience02:47 Hunger Is NOT a Character Flaw03:48 Is “Metabolic Damage” Actually Real?04:59 How Your 500-Calorie Deficit Disappears05:52 What GLP-1s Teach Us About Hunger07:14 How to Make a Calorie Deficit Easier07:35 Protein + High-Volume Foods08:18 Strength Training vs. More Cardio08:37 Why I Recommend 8,000 Steps08:53 Sleep’s Effect on Your Appetite09:07 Yes, You Can Still Eat Pizza09:24 The Big Weight-Loss Takeaway10:15 How I Lost 2 Inches While Eating Ice Cream10:37 The Big 5 Approach⭐️ Get the FREE Metabolism Jumpstart Secrets Guide HERE: https://mitchcalvert.com/free-cheat-sheetConnect With Mitch:⭐️ Instagram: https://instagram.com/mitchcalvertfitness⭐️ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/mitch-calvert-online-fat-loss-coach/
