What is the 30-30-30 Rule for Weight Loss?
A fitness trend called “30-30-30” has been all over TikTok, with many claiming it’s an effective way to meet weight loss goals. What is the 30-30-30 rule and how does it work?
What is the 30-30-30 rule? The 30-30-30 rule is a weight loss method that involves eating 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up, followed by 30 minutes of low-intensity exercise. Beyond these steps, the method doesn’t involve any other rules, restrictions or counting calories.
The morning routine was originally described by author Tim Ferriss in his book “The 4-Hour Body.” More recently, the 30-30-30 rule went viral on TikTok thanks to Gary Brecka, a podcaster and self-described “human biologist” who speaks about various ways to boost physical and mental health. In two videos, which each have over 18 million views so far, Brecka breaks down how the 30-30-30 rule can aid with weight loss and blood sugar control.
