Advice for Dads Who Want to Lose Weight. From a Dad.

Advice for Dads Who Want to Lose Weight. From a Dad.

As a new dad, it became harder to maintain my desired body weight. Due to the demands of parenthood and the unpredictable nature of how a day of eating and exercising (or not) can look, I set out to find a time efficient weight loss approach that supports dads to experience increased energy and vitality whilst also allowing for more time to be with and contribute to their family.

Intermittent fasting is ideal for new dads with busy careers, demanding family commitments and those who are time poor and lacking in energy. 

At Hero, we have found that it is the most powerful way to restore your health and wellbeing whilst repairing damaged cells and important organs that have taken quite a battering due to poor nutritional and lifestyle habits.

I remember when I first heard about this approach, I didn’t think it was possible for me. 

I need food for energy, I need breakfast, I need a late night dessert after a long day, I need a glass of wine to unwind before bed, surely it’s not healthy? I’m going to be starving! 

However, once I actually tested it out, I very quickly saw the immense benefits and found that it was the most effortless, efficient and effective eating plan I had ever experienced. 

I enjoyed increased energy, I no longer felt sluggish, my sugar cravings disappeared, I even looked forward to fasting each night and I found more space in my nights and mornings to focus on my family and my work. Plus, I really enjoyed my lean dad bod that was super easy to maintain. It very quickly became a way of life that I actually enjoyed and looked forward to each day.
