Diet Details
Effortless Fat Loss
O’Gallagher says that if fat loss is your goal, intermittent fasting is THE way to achieve it. He recommends waiting at least 5 hours after waking to eat your first meal, and having your final meal about 2 hours before bed.
Calorie Deficit Eating
O’Gallagher says in order to get your body fat low, you must eat a deficit of calories, which is much easier to achieve with intermittent fasting.
No Deprivation
O’Gallagher advocates for intermittent fasting as a way to not only build a great physique, but also not suffer from hunger. He says you can eat whatever you enjoy, but he sticks to low-prep things like Greek yogurt, nuts and berries during the day, and then prepares a more involved meal of meat and veggies for his dinner.
Save Time
One of O’Gallagher’s favorite things about intermittent fasting is how much less time he spends preparing and eating, freeing up time for other stuff he’d rather be doing.
Laser Focus & Better Sleep
O’Gallagher says two of the biggest benefits he saw with intermittent fasting was energy all day long and improved sleep quality.
Boost Power With Caffeine
O’Gallagher says up to 3 cups of coffee during your fasting state will speed up your metabolism, and up your strength and stamina while reducing your appetite.
Cheat Meal
O’Gallagher says a cheat meal 1-2 times per week is allowable, but that your evening meal should always be satisfying, reducing the desire to go hog-wild.

O’Gallagher on Nutrition, Training & Life
‘When you can master training and nutrition to build an amazing body and become stronger and leaner than you could ever imagine, confidence and self-belief goes through the roof.’
O’Gallagher on Extreme Diets
‘Funny enough, a minimalist approach to training and a balanced and rewarding nutrition plan will actually lead to far better results than the typical extreme fitness approach.’
O’Gallagher on His Diet
‘I usually only eat 2-3 times per day.’
O’Gallagher on Enjoying Good Health
‘You should never have to give up any of life’s great pleasures because you’re worried it will interfere with your training and diet.’
Greg O’Gallagher’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine
Fun Fitness
O’Gallagher thinks fitness should fit into your lifestyle, and that you shouldn’t have to arrange your life around your workouts.
Get Fit Like a God
O’Gallagher offers multiple courses through his Kinobody site. You can get shredded like a warrior, superhero or a Greek god, or simply focus on fat loss.
No Cardio
O’Gallagher says cardio is nice but not necessary to look great and be fit. If you’re looking to lose weight, however, it can help rev up your fat-burning.
Quick Hit
Part of O’Gallagher’s appeal is that it only requires 3 days of training per week and no cardio. Once you’re all dialed in, you can get away with just 2 workouts a week.
Recovery Matters
O’Gallagher says it takes the body about 48 hours to completely recharge, which is why he advocates not working out day after day.
Progressive Overload
O’Gallagher says fitness expert Lyle McDonald stresses the importance of increasing weight over time, but O’Gallagher says there are many roads to success when building muscle.

Greg O’Gallagher’s Lifestyle
Sleep To Get Ripped
O’Gallagher says sleep is super important if you want to look and feel great. He says intermittent fasting and eating his biggest meal 2 hours before bed helps him sleep like a baby.
Father Knows Best
O’Gallagher asked his dad how to look like one of his plastic action heroes. His dad said: ‘Work out.’ When O’Gallagher was 9, his dad bough an adjustable set of dumbbells, which young O’Gallagher begged to use until his father finally relented.
Early Tragedy
O’Gallagher’s father was a real estate mogul. He passed away when O’Gallagher was just 11 years old.
Not Spoiled
While his father built a real estate empire, O’Gallagher says he will not receive any inheritance money until he turns 30. Doesn’t look like he’ll need it.
Shy Guy
O’Gallagher wanted to share his passion and started a YouTube channel on fitness when he was just 15. He earned a little too much attention for his tender age and shut it down. But fellow classmates already knew about his talents and continued to work out with him and ask advice, keeping the flame of passion alive.
Golden Mentor
O’Gallagher credits fitness guru Rusty Moore for being his mentor in the fitness biz. Although many call O’Gallagher an ‘overnight sensation,’ in fact it took long days and a lot of sweat equity to get his site up and going.
Here & Now
O’Gallagher said he used to live primarily in the future, thinking fulfillment would show up later. His a-ha moment came when he realized that achieving certain goals only offer brief moments of excitement that soon fade, and that the journey is where the enjoyment is found.
O’Gallagher on his Father’s Passing
‘It put a lot of pressure on me to figure out how to make something of my life on my own…I wanted to make him proud, and I wanted to work twice as hard.’
O’Gallagher on Living in the Present
‘One of the greatest realizations of my entire life was when I realized that the present moment is all we every have.’
O’Gallagher on Education
‘I think the best education is outside university.’
O’Gallagher on Dropping out of College
‘I had to honor my calling and had to honor my passion.’
O’Gallagher on his Goals
‘My goal was to be a millionaire by 25, and I ended up doing it at 24.’
O’Gallagher on Building a Business
‘Everyone wants to start a company, but it comes down to creating value.’
O’Gallagher on his Future
‘I don’t need to be the face of Kinobdy at 45.’
