You’re training hard. You’re eating clean. You’re counting macros like a machine. But your body still feels stuck—like it’s fighting against you. In this episode, Chad breaks down the real reason fat loss stalls for high-performing men: insulin resistance. You’ll learn 9 science-backed, tactical strategies to reset your metabolism and finally flip the switch from fat storage to fat burning—without extreme diets, dangerous supplements, or two-a-days.

• Insulin is the Gatekeeper: When insulin is off, your body stores fat instead of burning it—no matter how "clean" you eat.
• Fat Loss ≠ More Effort: The secret isn’t more willpower—it’s fixing your biology with smarter habits.
• Timing > Type: When you eat can be just as important as what you eat.
• Muscle Mass = Metabolic Leverage: Building muscle—especially in your legs—drives better insulin sensitivity.
• Track Energy, Not Just Calories: Blood sugar crashes reveal more than a food diary ever could.

Before You Focus on Fat Loss:

• Fix your insulin response first—especially if you’re training hard but seeing no change

1. Walk After Every Meal – 10 minutes of light walking can drop glucose spikes by 22%.
2. Eat Dinner 3 Hours Before Bed – Late-night meals double your fat storage rate.
3. Eat Fiber Before Carbs – Reduces glucose spike by up to 74%.
4. Stand Every 30 Minutes – Sitting too long tanks insulin sensitivity—even if you train hard.
5. Fix Your Sleep – One poor night increases insulin resistance by 30%.
6. Don’t Eat Carbs Alone – Pair them with fat or protein to blunt the spike.
7. Count Crashes, Not Just Calories – If you feel foggy post-meal, insulin isn’t doing its job.
8. Build Muscle (Especially Legs) – More muscle = more glucose storage = better fat burn.
9. Use Cold Exposure – A 10-minute cold shower can improve insulin sensitivity by 43%.

You don’t need another extreme diet. You need smarter systems that work with your body. These tools aren't flashy, but they’re the hidden lever for elite men stuck in a fat-loss plateau. Chad uses these methods with his high-level coaching clients every day—and they work.
