8 Reasons Eggs Should Play A Key Role In Your Diet

~~~An Educational Thread~~~
1. Micro Nutrient Density

They're a STRONG source of magnesium, B12, vitamin D, selenium & iron.

Magnesium, selenium & D3 all being major contributors towards anabolic hormones and male performance.

2. Quality Protein

Especially in addition to meat or fish.
3. Satiation

This is probably the biggest factor on a fat loss diet. Being full is absolutely CRITICAL for achieving 10% body fat, and maintaining it.

Eggs score very highly on the Satiety Index, especially when boiled rather than scrambled (no idea why this is).
4. Omega 3s

This is particularly important for those who don't like fish.

5. HDL Cholesterol

Eggs are fantastic for your cholesterol *assuming your insulin levels aren't spiking up and down 24/7*
6. Anti-Oxidants

Lutein & Zeaxanthin are heart & eye-protective. Important for Men Over 40 & anyone prioritising longevity.

7. They Taste Awesome

8. Easy/Time Efficient

Whichever method you choose (scrambled/boiled/poached), it'll only take you a few mins.
If you're looking to fit eggs into an Intermittent Fasting meal plan, so you can finally hit 10% body fat, check out the link below.

I personally will write you a custom-tailored meal plan.

22 Game-Changing Tips For Sleeping Like A Lion 🦁

~~~MONSTER THREAD~~~
Sleep is critical.

For your testosterone levels, muscle growth/maintenance, and appetite suppression.

It's a fundamental building block, yet so many men don't hit the 7 hour minimum.

Here's 22 tips that will help you to change that, and get into the 7-9 hour range...
1. Make It A Priority

What gets measured, gets improved. This applies to sleep too.

2. Don't Go To Bed With Your Phone

This is the #1 mistake. The modern world is absolutely designed to keep you awake, and to keep your attention on anything but sleep. News/IG/Netflix etc.

20 Ways To Boost Testosterone (Naturally)

***A BIG THREAD***
Testosterone levels are going down, not up.

It's bad.

- Men of ALL ages have lower testosterone than 30 years ago
- Men lose 1% testosterone per year beyond age 30

And it's ALL downsides, no upsides.

Let's try & reverse this a little...
1. CUT OUT THE BEER!

Phytoestrogens, alcohol, and the calorie dense/fattening liquid all work together to form a T-killing triumvirate with beer. Not good.

2. CUT OUT THE SUGAR!

Sugar ---> Insulin & Cortisol spike ---> T suppression

How To Max Out Your Looks

(A Thread)
Your looks are more critical than most men would like to admit.

The brutal reality of the world is that if you don't look good enough, you just won't get an opportunity in the first place.

Looks come BEFORE everything else.

Here's how to take advantage of this...
CHISELLED FACIAL FEATURES

Trust me when I say this.

But you have NO IDEA whether or not you're good looking, until you've gotten to 10% body fat or lower.

Most men just have too much facial fat covering their masculine features, to have any clue.

Get lean & this changes.

BURNING STUBBORN BELLY FAT

(A Thread)
Stubborn belly fat can be 'stubborn' for a variety of reasons.

- Your genetics
- Your calories aren't low enough
- Your hormones suck
- Your metabolism has dropped too much

A calorie deficit WILL eliminate this eventually, but often it's not realistic.

Let's get into this...
1. Your Calories

You may just be eating too much food.

If you're 160 pounds, yet you're averaging 2500 calories on most days while not doing any cardio, then it's just too much food.

There's nothing wrong with you, you just need to eat nutrient-dense, calorie-sparse foods.
