The 5 Protocols

Right Method.
Right Type.

1A
Heavy HIIT 1:1
Under 12 min
1B
Alactic Sprints
12 sec max · No lactic
2A
Fartlek + Medley
Variety every session
2B
Sprint 8
30 sec all-out · Lactic
3
Zone 2 Structured
Low cortisol · Steady

Fat Loss Protocol · Type 1A
WARRIOR
FAT LOSS
Dopamine
High Intensity
Short Duration

"Maximum intensity. Minimum time. No steady-state cardio."

MethodHeavy HIIT 1:1 ratio — 20 sec max effort / 20 sec rest
DurationUnder 12 minutes total — CNS protected
ToolsLoaded carries 10–15 sec · Sled push · Battle ropes
Avoid60 min steady-state — demotivating and CNS-costly

1B
Fat Loss Protocol · Type 1B
ATHLETE
FAT LOSS
Dopamine + ACh
Alactic Only
No Lactic Acid

"Speed is the stimulus. Lactic acid is the enemy."

MethodAlactic sprints — 12 sec max, never into lactic territory
Protocol12 sec sprint / 90 sec rest — 6 to 10 reps max
DurationUnder 15 minutes — quality over everything
AvoidLactic conditioning — contradicts their neurobiology

Fat Loss Protocol · Type 2A
PASSIONATE
FAT LOSS
Adrenaline
Variety Essential
Change Every 3–4 Weeks

"Monotony kills results. Variety is the protocol."

Method 1Fartlek 20–30 min — walk → jog → run → sprint by feel
Method 2Strongman medley — 20–30 sec per station / 30–60 sec rest
Key ruleRotate method every 3–4 weeks — receptor downregulation
AvoidSame cardio routine for more than 4 weeks

2B
Fat Loss Protocol · Type 2B
ARTIST
FAT LOSS
Glutamate / Serotonin
Highest Lactic Tolerance
Feel the Burn

"The burn is not a side effect — it is the signal."

MethodSprint 8 — 30 sec all-out sprint / 90 sec active rest
Reps6 to 8 intervals — extend to 45 sec when conditioned
Why it worksHighest lactic tolerance — the burn is neurologically rewarding
AvoidShort 10–15 sec sprints — too brief for their biology

Fat Loss Protocol · Type 3
THINKER
FAT LOSS
GABA
Low Cortisol
Structured Zone 2

"Same route. Same pace. Same time. Add 5 min every 2 weeks."

MethodZone 2 running or cycling — 30 to 45 min steady
IntensityJust above VT1 — conversational pace, low cortisol
Progression+5 min every 2 weeks — same structure always
AvoidKeto, IF, intense glycolytic blocks — cortisol spikes stall fat loss

BURN FAT
THE RIGHT
WAY.

One fat loss method does not fit all neurotypes. Find your profile — build a protocol that matches your brain chemistry.
