5 Things I STOPPED Doing to Lose 10 Pounds This Year

from Well Beyond 40 · host JJ Virgin

I recently decided I wanted to get in the best shape of my life for my 60th birthday. My original goal wasn't even fat loss; I wanted to put on muscle and improve my overall fitness. But in the process of focusing on strength training, optimizing my nutrition, and making some key lifestyle tweaks, I ended up dropping 10 pounds and 5% body fat... without even trying!   In this episode, I'm sharing the surprising mindset shifts and practical strategies that made all the difference. You'll learn why I actually INCREASED my calories at first, the reason I had to stop working out fasted, how changing my lazy evening wine-and-Netflix routine led to better self-care, and so much more. I'm also revealing the supplements I never skip even when I travel, and the metrics I track to make sure I'm building muscle and losing fat.   If you're looking for motivation and guidance to get fit and feel your best at any age, this is the episode for you! It's not about restriction or doing anything extreme, it's about consistency, nourishing your body, and making sustainable lifestyle upgrades. I can't wait to share what I've learned with you!   FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/5things Bioimpedance Scale: https://amzn.to/4abj8Cz Food Scale: https://amzn.to/3IBttvS Try Timeline Mitopure: https://www.timelinenutrition.com/partners/jj-virgin Reignite Wellness™ Vitamin D Plus: https://reignitewellness.com/products/vitamin-d-plus Reignite Wellness™ Omega Plus: https://reignitewellness.com/products/omega-plus Reignite Wellness™ Collagen Peptides Powder: https://reignitewellness.com/products/all-systems-glow-collagen Reignite Wellness™ Bone Broth Protein Shakes: https://reignitewellness.com/collections/shakes Reignite Wellness™ ElectroReplenish: https://reignitewellness.com/products/electroreplenish Reignite Wellness™ Amino Power Powder: https://reignitewellness.com/products/amino-power-powder TRX Resistance Training Equipment: Free Shipping on all orders $99+: https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=ml&ti=931205&pw=347877 Renpho Bluetooth Tape Measure: https://amzn.to/4aqNG3j Polar Pro Chest Strap: https://amzn.to/43whIAE Join my 7-Day Eat Protein First Challenge: http://jjvirgin.com/7day Magnesium Body Calm: https://reignitewellness.com/products/magnesium-body-calm OmegaQuant Omega-3 Test: https://omegaquant.com/ref/679 use code XBNINBP7JM for 5% off Order Dry Farm Wines: dryfarmwines.com/jjvirgin   Learn more about your ad choices.
