Intro
And no, I’m not questioning your attractiveness today; I’m pretty sure
you’re a 10 on 10. But does it hurt to be an 11?
If you’ve got this guide, you’re either a TWG member or you got this
for a small cost. Any other way isn’t legal ;)
But I can promise you, this will be worth 100X the amount you paid,
and most of all, worthy of your time and attention.
This book is written in a way that might seem like it’s written for kids.
Easy to understand and with a lot of visuals.
I promise not to leave you hanging with just knowledge; I will, in fact,
help you put things into motion with a simple plan of action.

Health and wellness are among the top 5 things people talk about today. But
yet these topics are widely misunderstood, mostly out of ignorance.
This Ebook will give you all the fundamentals you need to:
Fix chronic pains
Lose stubborn fat forever
Build strength and muscle
Bulletproof energy Levels
Fix gut health forever
But why listen to me? Well, because
I’ve been doing what I preach for more than 5 Years
I work a 9-5, run a successful coaching business, live alone, cook and stay
in shape
And that I have helped 100s of Corporate employees DO EXACTLY THAT!
If you still don’t trust me
Loan me your attention for the next couple of pages
If you still do not feel this can help you, drop me a message on Instagram
with a reason.
And I’ll process a 100% REFUND NOW.
Now that we have all that in the picture, here is how this is structured.

Goal Setting
Setting realistic goals is the key to keep going
Results matter
If we do not bear the fruit of our work, we WON’T work, PERIOD.
We at #teamTWG ensure quick wins within the first 3 weeks for this
exact reason.
Goal Setting
I am not going to bore you with asking yourself common questions to set
your goals. (What, why, when etc)
I will tell you what you need to do.
It’s actually very straightforward.
People want to lose fat, have a flat midsection
Some decent muscle definition
Good energy levels
Good strength levels and no joint pains
Bulletproof digestion
You might or might not have some of these goals. You might want less or
more of one.
I am simply going to tell you what you need to do for each of them. Do
less or more of what I tell you.

Myth Busting
You can eat carbs after 6PM
(In fact eating more carbs during the second half is better for energy)

Foundational
Principles
Higher the flexibility, longer it takes to see results.
Flexible approach means more room for mess ups. Its okay, just understand
the consequences.
It takes sacrifice in the short term to strive for balance in the long
term.
Think of it as a loan from the bank, you cannot hope to enjoy before the
debt is paid. Pay the debt, sacrifice, then strive for balance. The loan here
being the bad health decisions over the years.

Step 1 : Nutrition
Do we need to track?
I have clients at #Teamtwg who have made transformations without
ever using a food scale.
So rest assured that is possible too.
But if you hit a roadblock, tracking will help clear it for you
Closer to the lifestyle integration phase, we will try and get rid of tracking.
But remember the quick wins needed for the initial trust in process?
Tracking is 100% more likely to get you there.

Health Pointers
Most coaches haven’t even heard of this. Which is sad!
Is sugar bad?
Sugar isn’t the devil.
Excessive sugar is.
1 tsp of sugar is around 15 calories
In your tea adding won’t affect as much.
And sugar in tea doesn’t cause diabetes.
Instead avoid eating highly sugary foods more than 2 times a week.
The want to eat more effect
Sugar spikes insulin
When insulin goes down body demands more
Ghrelin your hunger hormone also maybe effected causing fake
hunger cues making you eat more.
Now you’re equipped to take decisions.

Health Pointers
Is alcohol bad?
Simple answer? Yes. There is nothing good about consuming it.
Do you need to stop it? No, there are plenty things we might do that we
know aren’t good for us but give us some form of pleasure.
Moderation is key
If you have any health conditions, as a stressor to the body this can
impede recovery.
On a fatloss diet, when calories are low, effects can be as adverse. Bad
digestion, ruined energy, messed up appetite.
Drink responsibly. Here is a cheatsheet⬇️

Step 2 : Exercise
Tracking Your
Workouts
By this I do not mean tracking the amount of calories burnt. I mean tracking
the weight you lifted on various exercises. Amount of calories you burnt isnt
a viable marker for strength training.
Do we need to track?
Simple answer? No
Longer answer? No but that comes at a cost of less improvement and
that means you are not going to make as much progress as you could
have.
You choose.
How to track?
It can be as simple as putting it in your notes.
You can also try workout tracker apps like Strong and Hevy.

Step 4 : Do It Forever
Lifestyle Integration
Its time to put it all together
You might have doubts on How to
Manage meals? IDK how to cook.
Manage exercise? I don’t have time.
Manage social commitments and life?
Be ready to take it on as a challenge! And there is nothing that can stop you.

Step 4 : Do It Forever
Managing Meals
Learn To Cook
I am truly sorry but there is no hack around this.
Its a basic life skill
Not knowing how to cook isn’t a flex
If you don’t know how to cook, you can’t even guide people well enough
to cook for you.
Atleast learn how to cook the following
Your major protein source
Low fat paneer
Chicken breast
Eggs
Soya
Your major carbohydrate source
Rice
Roti
Your vegetables
Learn to saute, airfry (writing “learn” feels weird since its a 10
minute job)

Step 4 : Do It Forever
Managing Exercise
The Science?
Cortisol is the highest in the morning
Workout within 1-2 Hours of waking (provided your circadian is fixed)
Cortisol is the stress hormone, it makes you alert and active.
Body is primed for performance at the time
Cortisol goes down as the day progresses.
Raising Cortisol closer to the time you sleep, can mess up sleep.
The Logic?
No social commitments early in the morning
No work liabilities
Missing workouts is now out of the equation.
Training fasted doesn’t have that major an effect, habit does.
So while it might seem like you lost strength training in the morning, give it 1-
2 weeks and it’ll set in.
