7 Ways Alcohol Is Murdering Your Appearance (Thread):

Looks matter.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And if you look good, you're ensuring that all interactions with other people get off to the best start possible.

The world simply responds to you better when you have...
+ Low body fat
+ Lots of muscle mass
+ An obvious v-taper
+ A chiselled face
+ Vibrant eyes & skin

So you're compromising all of these by drinking.

'Occasional drinkers' are fine - 1-3 glasses of red wine per week won't do anything.

But:
'Social drinkers' & 'Binge drinkers' are in danger.

If you drink 'in moderation' regularly with friends, family etc., then you're ruining your appearance.

If you binge drink every Friday or Saturday night (or both!) then you're ruining your appearance.

Here's why:
#1) Alcohol = Empty Calories

Yes, alcohol calories are 100% calories, and will 100% lead to fat gain.

Not only are they calories, but they're completely devoid of protein, essential fats, or micronutrients.

In fact, they:

1) Dehydrate you
2) Make you HUNGRIER

Next:
#2) Alcohol Will Bloat Your Face

If fat gain wasn't bad enough, you also have an additional facial bloat from regularly drinking.

Your cheeks and neck have more of a swollen look to them, which completely murders your appearance (your face is the first thing people see).

Next:
#3) Alcohol Kills Your Sleep & Recovery

A lack of sleep is the fastest route to lower testosterone, muscle loss and shitty workouts.

And even one whiskey before bed is enough to annihilate your sleep quality/depth.

Good luck getting a broad, muscular physique!

Next:
#4) Alcohol Makes Your Eyes & Skin Look Worse

You already know how small and dead your eyes look when you're hungover.

And how bad your skin gets after a couple of consecutive nights of drinking.

The more frequently you drink, the worse your eyes & skin become.

Next:
#5) Alcohol Is The Killer Of Testosterone

ON TOP OF the sleep problem, alcohol further attacks your testosterone independently.

This is especially crucial for Men Over 40 who already have an uphill battle with hormonal health.

Keep the FREQUENCY of drinking down.

Next:
#6) Alcohol Makes You Consume More Calories That Night

Everything becomes more tempting when you've had a few drinks.

Anything sweet.

Anything salty.

Good luck maintaining dietary compliance in a calorie deficit when you're 'under the influence'.

Next:
#7) Alcohol Makes You Consume More Calories The Next Day

Not only did you consume more calories last night (that are likely going straight to your fat stores, as you're combining the two evils - alcohol & sugar), but you're also going to eat more junk the NEXT DAY.

More:
Those who say they don't crave junk food the next day are either:

1) Completely full of shit (most likely by far)
2) The lucky exception to the rule

And guess what happens to this junk food?

Yep.

Straight to your body fat, which is the number one killer of your appearance...
If you want to sky-rocket your:

+ Appearance
+ Strength
+ Energy
+ Motivation
+ Sex Drive
+ Testosterone
+ Sleep Quality

And much more, then I'm going to be walking you through exactly how to do this.

10 FATAL FASTING MISTAKES

(Important thread you'll want to read)
Most of your fat loss success isn't going to come from some magic hack.

It's going to come from:

A) Following a proven system
B) Not f***ing up

THAT'S how you get lean.

Let's get into the biggest mistake first...
1. Not Doing It Every Day

CONSISTENCY!

I can't tell you the amount of emails I get from guys who do IF 3x per week and are confused as to why they're not 10% bf yet.

Do it every day.

Sunday being the only possible exception.

15 WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS/CORTISOL

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Stress management is going to be one of the most important skills for the modern man going forward.

If you want high T, you've got to get good at this.

Let's get into it.

(Thread)
1. Get More Deep Sleep

This one's obvious.

2. Ashwagandha

250-500mg per day is all you need.

3. Working Less

Work less, live more. This one has the potential to open up more room for EVERYTHING else on this list. "Grinding" 24/7 = stress.

4. Spend Less/Minimalism

Why?
Because the old saying "the stuff you own ends up owning you" is very true.

Owning stuff = stress. Cars, boats, big houses, toys.

5. Get More Sunlight

This has a three-pronged attack on stress, in that sunlight itself is relaxing, plus Vit D, plus improved circadian rhythm.

🚫 COMMON MINDSET ERRORS THAT STOP YOU FROM GETTING TO 10% BODY FAT

Thread 👇
Before I start:

I'm not "judging" anyone for having any of these mindsets or viewpoints.

Its your life, you can do as you please.

But I'm simply pointing out things that I *know* lead to failure with fat loss.

No judgement, just cause & effect.

Let's get into the 1st one:
1. "Healthy Food Is Expensive"

Its more expensive than a lot of junk food, I concede.

But more expensive than your weekly alcohol budget?

Or those new shoes?

Or that new watch?

So I think this mindset is simply one of priorities. If not, eggs are cheap, liver is cheap etc.

THE TESTOSTERONE FUNDAMENTALS

(A thread for guys who are struggling to get to 800-1200 total T)

👇👇👇
I'm always asked:

"800 testosterone sounds great, but how? Is it possible for someone in their 40s or 50s?"

Yes, it's more than possible.

It will be harder if you're 40+, you'll need to be more disciplined, and you'll need an optimised plan.

But you CAN do it.

Here's how...
💪LOW BODY FAT💪

You're not going to be high T if your body fat levels are high.

It just isn't possible. There's too many cells in your body secreting estrogen.

My advice is to get to 15% bf using Intermittent Fasting/OMAD, and try to gain some muscle in the process 👇

7 Ways Intermittent Fasting Builds UNSTOPPABLE Discipline

(While other diets usually won't).

IF is unique, in the sense that it goes against how most people eat in the modern western world.

It builds discipline, rather than comfort & complacency.

Here's why...

(Thread)
1. It Teaches You What Real Hunger Is

This is especially true if you do start to get quite lean, OR you're doing OMAD or extended fasting.

We've completely lost sight of true hunger in the west, and it's not a good thing.

2. It Teaches You To Ignore Cravings/Feelings
Doesn't matter what you're feeling.

If you've got another 3 hours left in your fasting window, you've got another 3 hrs left.

Cravings are a signal, not a command.

3. It Teaches You To Acknowledge Discomfort & Continue Regardless

4. It Stops You From Taking Basics For Granted

7 Critical Life Lessons Intermittent Fasting Taught Us

Anyone who's done fasting before knows what I'm talking about.

But if you've not done it before, there's some important lessons that you may be apply to OTHER areas of your life.

Some are game-changers.

(A THREAD)
1. Less Is More

Our culture is very keen on promoting bigger = better.

Well, when it comes to food and consumption in general, that's a mistake.

Less is not always better.

But less than what we currently consume is USUALLY better, 90% of the time.
2. Even Good Things Should Be Limited

This honestly applies to everything.

If you have too much of any one thing, it becomes problematic eventually.

Whether that's pizza, scrolling IG, a girlfriend, women in general, & even things like training & water consumption.

Because.
