1. You start by un-learning everything.
Forget what the government, schools, news, and even your friends and family want you to believe.
Either they're making a profit off you or they simply don't know what they're talking about.
Do your own research.

2. You accept that there will be obstacles.
This allows you to prep for those bad days.
Just make sure you know WHY you're doing this.
If you mess up, tap back into your 'why' and get back on track right away.

3. You stay away from 'fat-free' labels.
Anything that's fat-free synonymous with processed as hell.
Either they added sugar or they added a bunch of other industrial ingredients your body has NO need for.
Healthy fats are absolutely vital to your progress.

4. You prioritize proteins.
Up to 40% of your daily calories should come from quality protein sources.
(30% fats and 30% carbs)
Animal proteins are of significantly higher quality.
Consume meat, fish, eggs, pork, chicken.

5. You lift weights regularly.
Cardio is excellent. But I see too many people trying to out-run their diet.
That is NOT sustainable.
Lift weights & add on some muscle to:
- look good as f*ck
- increase your base metabolic rate
- maintain quality of life into old age

6. You gotta get rid of seed oils.
I know I say it all the time, but it's worth repeating.
Vegetable and seed oils = industrial poison.
They cause IBS, Cardiovascular disease, massive inflammation, and much more.
Olive oil, ghee, butter, avocado oil = ok.

7. You understand the power of fasting.
Humans aren't designed to eat around the clock.
Throw in a 16/8 or even 20/4 a couple of times a month, if you're main priority is optimal health and longevity.
Autophagy* = your body's cleaning service.
*starts 12 hours into a fast.

8. You focus on the bigger picture.
Weight loss is cool, but it should be a side-effect.
When you struggle, think of the many benefits you'll get:
- Energy
- Cognitive focus
- Confidence
- Sexual performance ;-)
- And much more
It's NOT just about the numbers on the scale.

9. You're ready to defend yourself.
Whether in business, sports, or your health, those around you are going to find ways to make you hesitate.
Don't let them! Tell them your health is important to you.
They're either with you or they're against you at this point.

10. You'll only stick to something based on your lifestyle.
The realities of your life are what they are.
When you make health a priority you should be willing to make some sacrifices and turn them into a sustainable plan.
Always think long-term. Delay your gratification.

11. You develop your mind as well as your body.
Too many of us try to get that healthy body, but neglect to invest in their mindset.
Speaking from experience here:
If you don't build up your self-love WHILE building up your physical health, you won't end up happy.

12. You know when to ask for help.
Let's face it. This journey isn't easy.
I struggled forever before I figured it out. How?
My coach (turned bro for life) took me under his wings and taught me everything I needed to live optimally.
Don't be too proud to ask for help.

13. You increase your water intake.
You drink 5 cups of water a day? That's cute. At best.
Men, drink about 15 cups per day.
Ladies, let's shoot for 10-11 cups of water per day.

14. You don't let your health journey limit you.
There's no need to stop hanging out with friends or going to events, simply because you don't want to mess up.
Let's eat clean 80-90% of your meals.
Allocate 10-20% for meals with friends, work-related lunches, etc.
Simple!

15. You get out in the sun more.
Go read outside, go work outside, go for a daily walk outside. Whatever it is, just get your ass out of your house.
If optimal human health is a priority, then getting a daily dose of vitamin d isn't just optional.
It's a must.
