Weekly questions:

How can I shrink my waist? Is it even possible outside of just losing fat? Also how do I lose more stomach fat LOL?
Question for Kyle because I know he has run a marathon before. How do I get into running? I ran a bit as a kid but I don’t really understand how to start as silly as that sounds. Like do I just run until I can’t? Can i walk or do I need to start with a certain interval?
How can I sculpt more muscle to my body? I feel like I have some muscle but just look so average when some people at the gym look so good. There muscles are so much bigger and rounder, is it genetics or am I doing something wrong?

807: 7 Ways To Eat More, Stress Less, And Still Lose Fat May 21, 2026

Show notes

➢ Check out our website- www.colossusfitness.com

Struggling to lose fat without giving up your favorite foods? In this video, we break down 7 simple fat loss tips to help you eat more food, reduce stress, control cravings, boost metabolism, and build a sustainable calorie deficit without feeling restricted.

Learn how to make weight loss easier with high protein meals, low calorie dense foods, smarter nutrition habits, better portion control, and realistic fitness strategies that actually fit your lifestyle long term.

Listed points:

1- Stop blowing your macro budget early in the day

One of the biggest mistakes people make is eating a super high-calorie breakfast or grabbing a calorie-dense treat early in the day.
Instead, start your day with a protein-focused meal that actually gives you room to work with later.
Think eggs and egg whites, Greek yogurt, protein oats, lean meat, fruit, or something that gives you a good amount of protein without destroying your carbs and fats by 9 a.m.
The goal is not to be perfect.
The goal is to make the rest of your day easier.

2- Pre-log your food before you eat it

Most people track reactively.
They eat whatever they want, log it after, and then realize they have 17 grams of carbs, 4 grams of fat, and 80 grams of protein left for dinner.

3- Stop drinking your calories

4- Watch the sneaky high-calorie add ons: Someone makes a salad and thinks they’re crushing it. Then they add creamy dressing, croutons, bacon bits, cheese, candied nuts, avocado, and a bunch of oil.Now that salad has more calories than a burger and fries.

5- Chill out and know results come over time

Compounding power
Largest friction at the start - You’re scanning labels, weighing food, trying to figure out servings, wondering if you logged the cooked or raw version, and feeling like you need a degree in nutrition just to eat lunch.

6- Use low-calorie sauces to make “boring” foods taste good

7- Read labels and don’t get fooled by marketing

A “protein” bar with 4 grams of protein is not a protein bar.
A “healthy” drink loaded with sugar is still liquid calories.
A salad with 700 calories of toppings is still 700 calories.

Same thing happens with coffee creamers, cooking oils, sauces, dips, spreads, and toppings.

If you’re trying to lose weight, burn fat, build muscle, or finally create sustainable healthy habits, this episode is for you. In this podcast, we break down 7 of the biggest nutrition mistakes that lead to weight gain, fat gain, stalled progress, low energy, cravings, and frustration.

Most people think they need a perfect diet, but often it’s the small daily nutrition habits that are holding them back. Hope these help!

1- Always needing to be full

-Hunger won’t kill you, nor will boredom

2- Not eating enough food volume

big salads, veggies, berries, Greek yogurt, chicken, etc

3- Having junk snack foods in the house

Have “I’m bored but want something foods”
Carrots, cucumbers, water, diet beverage.

4- Filling up on the wrong foods

Always start with protein & veggies

5- Eating too fast

-Have a “pause rule”
Before seconds, wait 10 minutes and drink water first. Most cravings pass.

6- Logging everything at the end of the day

Pre-log food before eating it

7- Not intentionally eating, eating distracted

Don’t multitask while eating
Phones, TV, laptops massively disconnect hunger/fullness cues.

“Instead of asking how can I do the bare minimum they ask, how can I do more?”

Sleep

They know if those inputs are handled, results are inevitable.
