Most people want to be healthy and lean but do not know how. Here is my process for getting lean in six months or less. Here is how to get lean fast.
How to Get Lean Fast in 6 Months
This is the process I used to get lean in the six months, but we are different, and you might take longer or shorter periods.
Pay attention to what you must do consistently, and you will get the result.
Cut the sugar
We eat too much sugar, and there is no way to sugarcoat it. Try this for two weeks: do not consume sugar, drink sweet drinks, or drink coffee or tea with added sugar. You will see that you will lose some weight, and the change in your body will be visible.
Hit the gym
Hitting the gym and lifting weights is therapy, especially for men. This is not only about building your muscles but also about having a strong mind and toning muscles.
I recommend hitting the gym at least three times per week. Regardless of what you do in the gym, you should have a solid routine that builds your body somehow.
Get 7-10k steps per day
Walking changed my life. I recommend it to overweight people who want to recover their shape.
Start walking for 2 minutes around the block, then increase to 5, then 10, then 20, and finally at least 30 minutes.
The idea is to get your body moving without feeling pain. Once you get used to it, you can easily walk 7k to 10k steps per day.
Not only is it great for weight loss, but like the gym, it’s beneficial in every aspect of life. A daily walk in nature is where most of my best ideas have been born. Not only that, but you get a break from the real world. Start walking more.
Using a step tracker, you can track how many steps you take daily.
Start eating cleaner
Going to the gym and walking will help you lose weight and lean, but more is needed. This is because if you exercise and eat junk food, you will always maintain weight and get lean. You need to do all of them.
Combine the gym, walking 10k steps, and a clean diet together, and you’ll have an athletic body.

Take the correct supplements
I do not like taking supplements, and I think if you eat the right food, the supplements are unnecessary.
But I understand that most people lack one or more vitamins, minerals, etc.
I’d recommend supplementing: – Magnesium – L-Theanine – Vitamin B6 – Creatine – D3 + K2 – Krill oil – Boron – Zinc. You don’t NEED these if you’re getting enough through diet.
Sleep 7 to 8 hours per night
Many people are pushing for the hustler culture out there, and they want you to walk 24 hours a day.
Four hours per day is more than enough to be successful if you focus on work. You do not have to work 24 hours per day.
Put it this way. More sleep will positively impact anything you do, resulting in less muscle gain, less focus, less testosterone, and less weight loss.
Your daily life will be positively or negatively influenced by the amount you sleep. Sleep more.
Reduce stress
I know it is impossible to reduce all the stress in our lives, but we can reduce it.
The way I do it is not to control every aspect of my life. I drink water, and every time I feel stressed, I take a walk, do situps, or just take a shower. It works for me. Find out what works for you and do it.
Stress will not only melt your brain, but it will also melt your testosterone. If that’s not bad enough, it can also contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Sleep more, argue less, lift heavy. Stress = Gone.
Reduce screen time before bed
We are always on the screen, whether on the computer, the phone, or the TV. To get quality sleep, you need to reduce screen time before bed.
If you’re constantly on your phone or watching Netflix before bed, you will be tossing and turning all night.
Read instead, or turn them off 30 minutes before bed. You can also get blue light-blocking glasses. Your circadian rhythm will thank you.
Hit your protein goal
This goes back to the eating problem; if you eat the right food, you should have all the protein your body needs.
Sadly, most people don’t consume enough protein throughout the day.
Resulting in zero muscle growth or, in some scenarios, the loss of muscle mass. Eat more meat. If you struggle to hit your daily protein goal, supplement with whey protein.
Drink as much water as possible
Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to Mitchell and others (1945), the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water.
The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.
You need to drink water every day. Generally, you should drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh daily.
For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, you should drink 100 ounces of water while performing non-strenuous activities.
Final words
That is it. This is my plan for getting lean in 6 months or less. Only some people can achieve this.
It depends on their current status, but I am sure you will get healthy and lean if you follow the plan.
