Another great night at the CNF Christmas party.

As usual we managed to take one photo and somehow leave 52 people out of it. If you were there, assume you were spiritually included.

Hope everyone had a great night. The community we have is ridiculous in the best way possible, very grateful to have the soundest fu***rs choosing to train with us

We’ll 100% do more of this.

And if you missed it, don’t worry. We’ll run something again soon so you can redeem yourself.

How to not get fat over Christmas

There’s the sad bastards telling you to track every gram.

There’s the melters telling you to eat like an animal for three weeks.

If you’ve trained all year, none of that helps.

Most people want to enjoy Christmas, feel normal, and still feel good in January.

That’s why I made this. I originally kept it for my own clients, but the advice online was too painful to ignore.

If you want the full Christmas Guide that shows you exactly how to do it without restriction or guilt, comment Christmas below and I’ll send it over no strings attached

Most people still think a sweaty workout means a fat-burning workout…
but that’s not how your body works at all.

Sweat is just your cooling system not your fat melting.

If anything, it just means you were warm enough to leak.

And look if you enjoy sessions where you sweat the bo****ks off yourself, that’s perfectly fine.
Enjoyment matters. If you love that style of training, you’ll stick to it, and that’s great.

But it’s not true to say that if you don’t leave the gym ringing wet, you “did nothing.”

Sweat is not the measure of a good session. Effort is. Mechanical tension is. Progress is.

Real fat loss only happens when you’re in a calorie deficit.

Not because your T-shirt is soaked, not because the gym was roasting, and definitely not because you nearly passed out in a hoodie.

If you want actual results:

• Train hard enough to create mechanical tension
• Hit your protein
• Hit your steps
• Sleep well
• Stay in a consistent calorie deficit

That’s it.
Simple. Boring. Effective.

If you like learning how this stuff actually works, follow along I post things like this every week to stop you being confused by the melters online.

Most people get their calories and macros and then ask, “Great… but what does that actually look like on a plate?”

Here’s the answer: simple food.

Because I’m a simple man and the truth is, everyone I’ve ever coached sticks to the plan when the food is simple.

If you’re looking for Michelin-star masterpieces, I’m absolutely not your fella.

If you want tasty, easy-to-track, high-protein meals that don’t feel like dieting, that’s exactly what I do.

And yes the calories and protein in this example do add up. It’s roughly 1,900 kcal and about 160 g protein across the whole day (give or take a few grams from oats/berries/popcorn/wrap variations).

That’s how real nutrition works it’s approximate, not lab-coat science, and it doesn’t need to be perfect for you to make progress.

The whole point of this was to show you that fat loss doesn’t require starving, suffering, or eating like a rabbit.

Just simple food you’ll actually stick to.

If you want more of this kind of no-nonsense, actually-doable stuff, the CNF Fat Loss System in January breaks it all down step-by-step.

Most people think they’re “eating healthy” but still can’t lose fat…
because they don’t understand the ONE thing that actually matters:

Calories.

And more importantly
what your calories are MADE OF.

Carbs, protein, fats, alcohol…
they all have different calories per gram.
If you don’t know that, fat loss will always feel harder than it should.

This isn’t about cutting carbs.
It’s not about starving yourself.
It’s not about living off chicken and broccoli.

It’s about knowing what’s high-calorie, what’s low-calorie, and how to build meals that actually match your goal.

Start here.
Learn this.
Apply it.

And fat loss gets way easier without doing anything extreme.

If this made things click for you, you’ll love what I’m putting together for January.

But for now save this, come back to it, and nail the basics.

People love blaming sugar for everything.

Weight gain, bad skin, toxic cravings even cancer.

But here’s the truth:

Sugar isn’t the enemy excess calories are.

If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain fat.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

Sugar is just one way calories sneak in without you noticing.

That’s why smart swaps help not because sugar is “evil but because they lower the calories without taking away the foods you enjoy.

Before someone jumps in with “sugar causes cancer” here’s the actual evidence:

• Sugar itself is NOT a direct cause of cancer.

• What the research shows is that carrying excess body fat (overweight/obesity) increases the risk of several cancers.

• High sugar intake can make it easier to gain weight if your calories are too high but that is not the same as eat sugar → get cancer

• Big organisations like the American Cancer Society, World Cancer Research Fund, Cancer Research UK, HSE, CDC all say the same thing:
focus on body weight, overall diet, movement and not smoking if you care about cancer risk.

So unless you’re eating comical amounts of sugar every day on top of a calorie surplus…
it’s not the sugar doing the damage it’s the overall calories and body fat.

Keep your calories in check → your weight stays in check → your cancer risk stays lower.

Smart swaps help.
Panic doesn’t.
