In the ever-evolving world of fitness trends, a new regimen has captured the attention of health enthusiasts everywhere: the 30 30 30 method.

This approach to weight loss, centered around the magic number 30, combines protein intake and exercise to kickstart your mornings and set the tone for a healthier lifestyle.

But what exactly is the 30 30 30 methond, and more importantly, is it really effective?

The 30 30 30 method explained

The 30 30 30 method, as the name suggests, revolves around three key components:

• 30 grams of protein,
• consumed within 30 minutes of waking up,
• followed by 30 minutes of L.I.S.S., or Low Intensity Steady State, cardio.

Now while the concept of isn’t entirely new, it has recently gained popularity on social media platforms like TikTok, thanks to endorsements from wellness experts and influencers alike.

But just what are the benefits of adopting this lifestyle (if any)?

What are the benefits?

I’ll just say this, as with any exercise routing, increasing your movement can have profound effects on your overall health such as reducing the risk of diabetes.

Now as for the 30 grams of protein, adding a protein heavy meal first thing in the morning can aid in weight loss by curbing cravings throughout the day.

Keep in mind though that your weight loss (and weight gain) is ultimately determined by how many calories you consume vs expend throughout the day.

Myself personally, I prefer to start the day with a 60-minute, zone 1 (50-60% of your max heart rate) fasted L.I.S.S. session.

That said, for those pressed for time especially in the mornings, I can see the benefits of the 30 30 30 method.

But how do you go about incorporating into your day?

Incorporating the 30 30 30 method

While getting in 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes may sound daunting at first; it’s actually a lot simpler than you might think.

30 grams of protein could be 4 whole scrambled eggs with 2 pieces of toast.

It could also be 1 cup of oats, 2 Tbsp of peanut butter and 1 cup of greek yogurt.

If that’s too much, you can even have a protein shake with a handful of nuts.

Once you’ve eaten, take a quick 30-minute walk around the neighborhood for a low intensity cardio session.

All in all, this should take up less than an hour.

But is it effective for everyone?

Absolutely!

The beauty about this method is that it offers a very simple yet effective approach to improving your fitness and well-being.

By prioritizing protein intake and incorporating low intensity exercise, just about everyone can jump start their mornings on the path to a healthier lifestyle.
