By Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Men’s Health Coach & Founder, The Fit Father Project

But soon enough the holidays roll around, the good food comes out, and between all the family and friend obligations, we’re back to being a couch potato who has more fat than muscle.

The thing is, it can be hard to stay fit. We know setbacks will happen.

But, it’s important to know how to start working out again if you have a layoff.

Read on for a few key tips on how to do just that!

Reduce Mental Stress & Increase Overall Wellness
By Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Men’s Health Coach & Founder, The Fit Father Project

Even if you weren’t aware of it, every time you go to the gym or just jog around your block, you are strengthening your mental health as much as your physical health.

Many of us don’t realize how intrinsically linked our mental and physical health is.

It seems that a lot of the fitness crazes that just focus on cutting or bulking forget about this fact as well.

But as we age, nurturing our mental health and reducing mental stress becomes increasingly important.

There are so many responsibilities weighing on us– bills, serious jobs, children– that it seems impossible to be stress-free.

But did you know that a simple workout plan can seriously reduce mental stress levels while increasing your physical fitness as well?

Learn the top three mental health benefits you can have by first focusing on your physical health.

Stop Wasting Time: Learn the Best Ways to Lose Belly Fat Today
By Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, Men’s Health Coach & Founder, The Fit Father Project

Does this sound like you?

“I’d try anything to get rid of this belly fat.”

If it does, you’re in the right place!

When you’re in the mindset of losing weight, the last thing you want to do is waste your time on methods that don’t work.

All that does is discourage you and maybe even set you back further.

We are about to blast through what many men THINK will help rid them of their belly fat and show you what really works.

And we’ll let you in on a secret: The best ways to lose belly fat might be exactly the opposite of what you’ve been doing.

We’ve helped thousands of busy fathers like yourself get in the best shape of their lives.

Now it’s your turn!

Belly Fat Loss Mistake #1: Nothing But Crunches

So, you want to lose some pounds around your waist.

“Crunches and ab work must be the best way, right? Why not target the exact fat that I want to lose?”

Unfortunately, weight loss doesn’t work like that. At all.

Spot reduction is the idea that you can target the area of fat that you want to lose.

But in reality, spot reduction is one of the worst myths out there for folks who are really trying to affect their bodies.

The fact is, you need to engage in overall fat loss before you see improvements in a certain area.

The good thing about that is, you’ll see results all over once you get started!

We’ve piloted a 24-minute fat burning exercise for men over 40.

All-encompassing workouts like these are one of the best ways to lose belly fat for men.

Give it a try!

Belly Fat Loss Mistake #2: Severe Calorie Restrictions

Here’s another mistake that’s commonly made when trying to learn how to lose belly fat for men.

“Eating too much has got to be the problem for me. So, I’ll just cut out eating altogether!”

First of all, there’s no way to commit to that type of “diet.”

Second of all, starving your body does not result in sustained weight loss.

Sure, in the beginning you will start to lose weight.

This is due to you burning a higher number of calories while working out than you are eating.

But soon, your body will actually start to think that you are starving, and start to STORE FAT.

There is a much better solution!

To engage in one of the best ways to lose belly fat, you need a balanced diet that you can commit to.

Belly Fat Loss Mistake #3: Low Intensity Cardio

You figure that it’s time to get into a regular exercising routine.

“I’d rather not go to the gym like this… Jogging around the block in the morning must be better than nothing.”

Sure, jogging around the block is good for you.

But this low-intensity cardio will NOT rid you of belly fat in a reasonable amount of time.

Especially if you haven’t changed your diet, a quick jog here and there will do very little to burn calories.

The cardinal truth is, you CANNOT out-exercise a bad diet.

Luckily, we’ve combined the best fat loss workout plan with the best meal plan for you.

Fit Father 30X is a 30-day program that provides step by step instruction on what you should eat and how you should work out.

The best ways to lose belly fat are in black and white in this program.

The Last of the Best Ways to Lose Belly Fat

The last piece of advice you need?

DON’T WAIT.

Now is the perfect time to change your waistline and your life.

The truth is, methods like the myths above have never worked in losing belly fat.

But with the tools you now have, you are able to keep your weight in check for good.

Our 8-step plan to keeping belly fat off will help you continue your success.

Small note about research cited in this article:
*Always remember: weight loss results & health changes/improvements vary from individual to individual. Just because these studies cite certain data does not mean you will experience these results. Always consult with your doctor before making decisions about your health. This is not medical advice – simply very well-researched info on the best ways to lose belly fat.

If you’re anything like most of our FF30X Program members here at The Fit Father Project, you’ve been trying to lose weight and live healthier for a LONG TIME with little actual progress to show for your effort.

You may feel like you’ve been bumbling around trying to patchwork together information on a proper diet and exercise plan for yourself, but all the “so called advice” out there may seem way too confusing and complicated.

Does that sound familiar…?

If so, you are in luck today, my friend. Because, in this short guide, I am going to show you the 3-Step Fit Father Battle Plan that actually works for busy fathers.

Watch the video I shot for you below to get started on today’s training.

Now before we get into your 3-Step Battle Plan, I want to share a personal story that will explain why you’re not currently seeing the fat loss results you desire.

The TRUTH about why you’re NOT seeing results you desire.

When I first started trying to lose weight, I used to buy fitness magazines each month – like Men’s Health to Flex – to get the latest info on exercises and diet trends.

I would then try to use that information to piece together a plan for myself that would (hopefully) get me into great shape and help me look like the guys on the front covers.

The biggest problem with my patchwork approach to getting fit was that “the advice” I was reading changed so often that I never actually knew what I was doing. I never had a structured plan in place to follow through on.

• I would jump from a circuit training to a 4-day split bodybuilding routine
• I’d try a low-carb diet for a few weeks before shifting to a high carb, low-fat diet

…all based on the latest magazine article headline.

I was fooled into following the Sensational Headlines that clever editors used to sell magazine subscriptions. Ultimately, I never had a proven, written, and structured plan that I could follow.

The result of my disorganized efforts was, well… NO RESULTS.

I ended up learning this essential lesson the HARD WAY:
“A STRUCTURED DIET & EXERCISE PLAN IS THE #1 KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS.”

On that note: I have a few questions for you. Right now…

• Do you have a written diet plan that you know with 100% certainty works?
• Do you have a written time-efficient workout routine that you know works?
• Do you have support from healthy coaches who will keep you accountable?

Here’s The Truth: 99% guys who are FRUSTRATED with their weight and health, answer “NO” to one or all of the questions above.

If you answered “NO” to any of the above questions, we need to fix this right now.

Specifically, we need to get you started on:

• A simple eating plan – that’s delicious, fast, & sustainable
• A time-efficient workout – that boosts your metabolism in uner 90 min/week
• An accountabiltiy plan – that keeps you motivated & on-track

In the rest of this guide, we’re going to break down exactly what you need in these 3-key areas. And if you’re ready to start seeing fast results, I’m going to invite you to join our FF30X Program that hands you the complete program you need.

More google searching and information gathering is not your solution.

Having the RIGHT INFORMATION that’s put into a STRUCTURED ACTION PLAN that you can implement is the key to getting rid of your belly, feel healthier, and seeing real results.

On that note, here are “The 3 Essential Elements” you need in your health plan…

Key #1: A sustainable healthy eating plan:

As we’ve covered throughout our Fit Father Project blog and this free training series, starting a healthy eating plan is your #1 most powerful tool to get rid of belly fat and feel more energetic.

And as you know, restrictive diets will never work for you long-term.

You need a simple & effective healthy eating plan that will not only help you lose your unwanted belly fat, but also enable you to keep it off for good.

Your eating plan needs to be…

• simple – no complicated meal planning.
• balanced – no crazy restrictions of carbs & fats that your body needs.
• sustainable – the plan has to be enjoyable over the long term.
• schedule-based – your meal timing is planned around your work schedule.
• affordable – the meal plan has to work for your finances & family.

Almost all “diets” lack these key elements.

They are either way too complicated (eat 6 meals per day), way too restrictive (super low carb plans), or unsustainable (companies that ship garbage “astronaut food” to your door every week).

When our team started coaching men through weight loss transformations, we were so disappointed with the “options” available that we started to develop our own eating approach.

Ultimately, we’ve spent the past 10 years refining our own Fit Father Meal Plan approach that incorporates all these key elements.

It’s effective. It’s simple. It’s balanced. It’s affordable. It’s incredibly sustainable.

It’s also why over 10,000 fathers have used this plan to drop over 75,000lbs of fat.

If you’d like to see exactly how you should be eating, I want to invite you to learn more about our Fit Father 30X Program which hands you this powerful meal plan.

The proper meal plan may be the FOUNDATION of your health & weight loss plan, but you also need this second key element…

Key #2: A safe, effective, & time-efficient workout plan:

As a busy father in your 40s & 50s, you need to approach exercise differently than younger guys.

Your workout routine need the following FIVE (5) ELEMENTS:

• time-efficient – 30-45 min workouts 2-4x/week to boost your metabolism.
• safe – no dangerous exercises that will hurt your shoulders, back, & knees.
• strength-based – building muscle is a key to staying lean & strong as we age.
• metabolism-boosting – you need exercises to boost fat burning.
• at-home – you need simple workouts you can do with minimal equipment.

When we started coaching busy fathers through health transformations, we couldn’t find a workout program that fit these essential criteria.

•  Yes, there here are intense workouts like Crossfit, but they’re too damaging and high risk for older joints (jumping off boxes and throwing barbells).

•  Yes, there are cardio-focused workouts like P90X, but those sessions take 90 minutes of jumping in front of your TV to see any results.

…and you don’t build strength and muscle like more effective lifting methods.

Because busy men over 40 who want to lose weight need a specific approach to exercise, we decided to build the perfect workout plan for fathers.

We call it our Fit Father 30X Workout.

The workouts focus on: Strength, Flexibility, & Fat-Burning Cardio. All in one.

• We hand you both the “at-home” and “at-the-gym” versions of the workout routines so you can perform the exercises anywhere with minimal equipment.

• All of the exercise sessions can be completed in under 45 minutes per session – just 2-4 workouts per week.

This comprehensive exercise approach ensures that you’re burning fat and building muscle on a safe and time-efficient plan designed specifically for you as a busy father over 40.

If you’d like to see exactly how you should be exercising, I want to invite you to learn more about our Fit Father 30X Program which hands you our powerful workout plan along with the Fit Father Meal Plan.

Key #3: Regular Check-Ins & Accountability:

The best diet plan and workouts alone are not enough to ensure your success.

You also need this final element: ACCOUNTABILITY

When “life happens,” we get stressed, and we start to drift off track with our healthy eating & workout plan, we need coaching and support to keep us accountable.

No matter how tough and dedicated we are, we all still need accountability. All the best athletes and performers have coaches.

What’s why throughout your transformation on our Fit Father 30X Program, you’ll have regular accountability check-ins with our Fit Father Project Coaches to ensure you are staying on track with your eating & exercise.

Our accountability plan is a key element that separates our program from the pack. We don’t just hand you the proven program and then leave you to fend for yourself. We are in your ear from Day #1 coaching you the entire way.

Here’s exactly how the Fit Father 30X accountability plan works:

• When you get started with Fit Father 30X, you tell us which day you’d like to start the program.
• We send you the meal plan and workouts for you to review.
• When you’re ready to start the program, you drop us an email and we kick off your 30-days of accountability coaching.
• We email you daily to check-in with tips, inspiration, and some really powerful surprise bonuses.

Our Fit Father 30X Program is not another diet book or DVD program you’ll leave in the plastic wrap. It’s a proven and accountable plan.

Normally to have this degree of accountability, you’d have to hire a personal trainer at a rate of $75-$200 per hour – multiple times per week. That’s over $1000 per month for accountability.

With our Fit Father Program, we’ve put the entire program online and we have coaching staff across the world, so we’re able to offer you the same 24/7 accountability for around the price of 1 single hour of personal training.

That’s real value.

It’s what we would expect from a program, so we provide that same level of excellence for you.

The combination of the perfect meal plan, workouts, and accountability is why our program members experience such incredible results.

I want to invite you to check out these testimonial video messages from some of our program members. These are Real Men + Real Results.
