Fitness YouTuber Aseel Soueid isn’t afraid to take on an ambitious weight loss or muscle-building challenge. In the past, for instance, he ate like Hugh Jackman’s ‘Wolverine’ for a day and tracked the results. Now, in one of his latest videos, Soueid is on a new mission: to get absolutely shredded and reveal his six-pack abs—and it turns out, it’s one he’s already accomplished. Soueid’s lean, ripped physique speaks for itself—and he helpfully shared the exact steps he took with his diet and workout that helped him get into single digit percent body fat.
1) Soueid weighs himself every morning.
“If you’re serious about your fitness goals to the next level, weight yourself daily and jot down your weight,” Soueid says. “Make sure you’re tracking [your results] and seeing trends.” While this tactic may not work for everyone—especially given that it might cause you to fixate or feel guilty about the lack of sudden progress, there is science to support that it can work for some people.
2) Make a cup of coffee.
“There’s a right way to make coffee to actually help you get leaner and lose body fat,” Soueid says. To do this, you should drink water before you touch your coffee. Soueid suggests drinking 16-32 ounces of water first to hydrate yourself. Then, drink your cup of black coffee, which is a caffeine source and a natural pre-workout drink. Soueid says that he hits the gym 30 minutes after his cup for a fasted workout, thanks to his intermittent fasting routine.
3) He hits the gym 6 days a week with A and B workouts.
Soueid shares his entire workout plan, which he says he sticks to 6 days a week to maintain lean muscle and a muscular, dense physique.

4) He eats 2 big meals and 1 snack.
After his morning workout, Soueid breaks his fast with meal #1, adding that he likes to eat 2 big meals and one snack. Here’s exactly what he eats throughout the day:
Meal 1: Egg white omelette with veggies, bowl of oatmeal with fruit
Meal 2: Lean steak with “tons of potatoes”
Snack: Greek yogurt frozen ice cream with a protein smoothie or Greek yogurt with fruit
“I find it works so much better than splitting my meals up into 5 or 6 different meals to hit my total calorie goal,” he says. “What it takes to get shredded does not matter whether you like to have 5 meals, 6 meals, or 2 big meals. You need to make sure you dial down your own personal calorie intake along with your macros. Being on a calorie deficit is ultimately what’s going to get you super lean.”

5) Get in that cardio.
“Cardio is just a tool to burn more calories throughout the day,” Soueid says. If you’re just starting out, he suggests 1-2 cardio sessions in your first week, adding in a session every 2-3 weeks.
