Interesting take….I know, for a long time, a lot of the hard-core lifters thought lifting free weights was the ONLY way to go!
Who knew that getting sufficient protein was apparently harder than running a three-minute mile???
Here’s a 150g+ protein day with fast food for lunch.
Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs
2 eggs + 1.5 cups egg whites = 51g
Lunch: Chick Fil-A
Grilled Cool Wrap + 8 Grilled Nuggets = 67g protein
Dinner: Beef + potato slop bowl
6oz 96/4 lean ground beef = 39g protein
Once you build nutrition skill via tracking your food it’s SO SIMPLE.

Skimping on sleep is almost always a dumb idea because you will have a heckuva time doing everything you need to do to get fit and stay fit (e.g. exercise regularly, eat right, manage stress, make good choices, etc.).

8. Sleep at least 7.5 hours
I’d treat sleep as a crucial part of the fat-loss plan.
Poor sleep increases hunger, reduces training performance, and makes it much harder to make good food choices the next day.

Yes, I think even diabetics can eat potatoes in reasonable portions…
Yes, a lot of the most important work to get fit is boring, “thankless” stuff, but it definitely “moves the needle”!!!
People who get and stay in incredible shape aren’t genetic anomalies. They embrace the boring work. They work out, eat well, and move their bodies regardless of how they feel. If you do this long enough, the results become addicting. Your entire life changes. You look & feel so damn good you could never go back to your old ways.

As far as I’m concerned, any food that is by far the MOST SATIATING FOOD on the Satiety Index at 323 is DEFINITELY a health food!!!
It’s definitely healthy. I really like ground beef and potatoes, but the broccoli is a little more “I’m eating it because it’s really healthy”…lol
Step update for November 8: I walked 12,000 steps today. In total,…
I have walked 15,040,000 steps since April 12, 2025. My new goal is to walk a grand total of 20,000,000 steps from April 12, 2025 to August 1, 2027.
Unfortunately, for most people, faithfully doing a few simple habits CONSISTENTLY every day is way harder than climbing Mount Everest!!!
I’m middle-aged and haven’t necessarily learned a lot in life (lol), but I DO know two things:
1. With TOTAL certainty, people inevitably make time for whatever is important to them.
2. Smart people work hard to improve themselves every day over the course of years and also don’t just ignore their health and well-being because that’s also “part of the equation” of being your “best self”. They “emotionally invest” in themselves and improve themselves and certainly don’t have a dumb-dumb mentality of “unless it directly makes me money, it’s just a big waste of time” or other such questionable Neanderthal mindsets…
Many successful guys say “I don’t have time to workout” to flex how much they work.
What they don’t realize is they’re actually just saying their priorities are misaligned.
Everyone has 30-45 mins, 3x/wk to put towards their health.
Some simply don’t choose to make the time… and will eventually regret that choice.
We don’t have that one yet at our gym. It would be interesting to try it out!

We’ll have to see if he ends up “stealing content” from the Bible, I guess….
Well, yes, it’s all about “grinding out wins”-you know by focusing on the “floor” instead of worrying about always having your longest, best workout ever-in particular, that you are showing up even when you are stressed, pressed for time, having a bad day, etc.
RDLs are probably way underrated for strength training benefits!

8. Romanian Deadlift - Glutes, Hamstrings, Erectors
Form tips:
- Slight knee bend
- Initiate motion by pushing butt/hips back
- Push hips back (while keeping the spine neutral) until they won’t go back any further
- Drive hips forward to meet the bar until butt squeezes
Well said. I don’t think there is anything magical to intermittent fasting. People can stick with it for a while, the number on the scale goes down dramatically and then they think this is the best dietary approach ever!
I think there are WAY BETTER ways to create a calorie deficit than by starving yourself for 18 hours a day….or 48 hours over two days-which makes my head (and stomach) hurt to even think about trying.
But the people who love intermittent fasting…you really get venom from them if you criticize intermittent fasting. I’m actually quite surprised that they still even have the energy to “give me grief”….
I've never once told a client to intermittent fast for weight loss. Not one.
Every time someone asks me if they should try it, I know what's driving the question.
It's coming from the wrong place.
They're frustrated with their weight, feel like nothing they're doing is working, and think restricting themselves even more is going to get them there faster.
Now look - you can't escape the laws of thermodynamics.
If you're eating fewer calories than you're burning, you're going to lose weight. And intermittent fasting can be a tool to help with that.
But the issue I see is:
People are restricting themselves so much that their energy is shit, they're constantly thinking about food, and by the time they finally get to eat, they're starving.
So they end up overeating, grabbing whatever's convenient, and the cycle repeats.
Or they're subconsciously using fasting as a way to punish themselves for how they feel and look, under-fueling in the process.
So their training, recovery, and overall quality of life start to suffer, and they're STILL not getting the results they want.
Now if you're intermittent fasting because you genuinely feel great doing it, you're eating enough, hitting your nutrition targets, and it works for your lifestyle?
Awesome. I have no problem with that.
But let's stop pretending intermittent fasting is some superior fat loss strategy.
It's not.
And if you're already struggling with overeating, constantly restricting yourself, or bouncing between diets, it's probably not the solution you need.
Most people haven't learned how to eat in a way that supports their goals AND their lifestyle.
I'd much rather teach someone how to fuel their body properly, manage their hunger, and build a sustainable approach to nutrition than give them another set of rules about when they're allowed to eat.
Because if your goal is to lose weight and actually keep it off, we need to address what's causing you to struggle in the first place.
Not just find another way to eat less.
