Night shift workers lose fat differently. Here's the protocol that worked for me - 110lbs down with no days off.
Night shift tried to break me at 308lbs.
The irregular hours, poor sleep, and constant fatigue made fat loss feel impossible.
Then I stopped fighting my body clock and started working with it.
Here are the 4 adjustments that actually worked:
1. Train when you wake up - even if that's 4pm. Your body is freshest then.
2. Protein timing matters - 40g within 30 minutes of waking and post-workout.
3. Protect your sleep like it's the most important supplement - blackout curtains, magnesium, consistent window.
4. Zone 2 cardio on off days - builds mitochondrial health without spiking cortisol.
I went from 308 to 196 doing exactly this.
No days off since Nov 20, 2025.
Turning 40 on April 16, 2026.
