Can the 30-30-30 Rule Help You Lose Inches?
Counting calories, measuring portions, hours in the gym—a TikTok trend promises we can skip all that and still get a flat stomach. How? By following the ‘30-30-30 rule.’ Here’s the gist: Within 30 minutes of waking up, you eat breakfast with 30 grams of protein, then follow it up with 30 minutes of movement. That’s all there is to it, yet experts confirm it’s the best way to lose belly fat. “I’ve never seen anything strip fat off a human being faster than this,” insists biologist and biohacker Gary Brecka, whose videos on the topic have gone viral. Better yet, women using the strategy in the real world confirm the trick makes fat fall off as health soars. Keep reading for the inspiring story of 113-pounds-slimmer Cheri Jackson, 64, and to find out how 30-30-30 could transform your body.
The best way to lose belly fat is also the easiest: The 30-30-30 craze started after one of Brecka’s posts, but the rule itself was created by health guru Tim Ferriss, author of mega-bestseller The 4-Hour Body. Ferriss tirelessly tests wellness strategies for his millions of followers, always in search of “the Minimum Effective Dose, or MED,” he tells us. He offers boiling water as an example. The water will always boil at 212°F. “Higher temperatures will not make water ‘more boiled.’” It just wastes time and fuel. The same goes for overdieting and overexercising, which wastes time and energy better spent doing things we love.
