The Pillars of Sustainable Weight Loss
-
Creating a Caloric Deficit – fact or myth?
Mainstream “science” would have you believe the key to weight loss success lies in establishing a caloric deficit through nutrition restriction and increased activity. This means consuming fewer calories than your body requires to maintain its current weight (the “Calorie in/Calorie out” hypothesis).
This theory (and yes, it’s still a theory because it hasn’t been proven as fact after all these years) does indeed work in the short term, with about 80% of people who try it, but it’s only a short term answer, that stops working after a short time, and can even permanently damage your metabolism in most cases.
-
Prioritizing Macronutrients
Here’s the real secret: To lose weight effectively, it is essential to understand the importance of macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
A traditional nutritionist, trained in conventional theory will call this “heresy” of their nutrition “scientism,” but when I talk with one of them, I just ask the following question: If your theory is fact, then what would happen if I ate 4,000 calories of Twinkies every day for a week? Now what would happen if I ate 4,000 calories of celery every day for a week? I’m sure you can image the “deer in the headlights” look on their face as their brain is trying to churn out an explanation that makes sense with the scientism religion.
Both of these diets are unhealthy and unbalanced, but the Twinkie diet would obviously make you gain weight, while the celery diet would make you lose weight, even though they are both 4,000 calories a day. My book discusses this in length, and we can also help guide you at X Gym on how to prioritize these macronutrients in your meal plans, ensuring you consume the right balance for optimal weight loss, muscle development, and overall health.

Building a Diverse Exercise Routine
A well-rounded exercise routine is crucial for achieving and maintaining weight loss goals. At X Gym, our trainers work with you to create a diverse fitness program that incorporates cardiovascular, strength training, and flexibility exercises to help you lose weight, build lean muscle, and improve overall health. Our workout style also burns more calories (especially more fat calories) than traditional methods, due to our accelerated “after burn” effect when the workout is done.
-
Establishing Long-Term Healthy Habits
Sustainable weight loss requires a commitment to creating lasting, healthy habits. Your X Gym team will support you in setting achievable goals, tracking progress, and making consistent lifestyle changes that lead to long-term success. We even have developed a brain type test for this!
Overcoming Common Weight Loss Challenges
-
Plateaus
Plateaus are a common part of the weight loss process, as your body adapts to the new activity level and your metabolic rate adjusts. To overcome plateaus, your X Gym trainer and nutrition coach will regularly assess your progress and make necessary adjustments to your meal plans and exercise routines. Our $12,000 scale also helps track this process much better than conventional scales can.
-
Emotional Eating
Emotional eating and stress can be significant barriers to weight loss. At X Gym, our trainers and nutrition coaches provide guidance on managing your emotional triggers and implementing mindful eating strategies to help you stay on track with your weight loss goals. And remember our brain type test because it is specifically for this issue and many others that cause unnecessary struggles with nutrition habits.
-
Maintaining Motivation
Staying motivated throughout your weight loss journey is vital to long-term success. Your X Gym team will be there to support you with ongoing encouragement and accountability, ensuring you remain focused and inspired. Our brain type test also helps provide tips, tricks and hacks to help with this too.
