A WAY TO LOSE FAT (My way - not the only way)):

The worst way to lose fat is to eat less and go jogging – this hardly works and makes you a moron.

1 Eating less makes you hungry – eventually you’ll cave-in. Image
2: Never jog. Never, ever, jog. Run or sprint but never jog. You want to get lean. right? Jogging won’t help you. Jogging hardly uses any calories (might as well walk).

Generally,

1 Do some form of resistance training
2 Do high intensity exercise such as interval training Image
3 Eat no more than two meals a day
3 Reduce the carbohydrate content of your diet i.e. bread, pasta, rice, pizza, cakes, desserts, sweets. Eat as much meat, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables as you like.

More specifically,

*LC HP IF – the way forward (diet)*
LC (Low Carbohydrate)
HP (High Protein)
IF (Intermittent Fasting)

*PA RT IT LA FT – the way forward (exercise)*

[As well as helping you lose fat, this is your code for dynamic strength, fitness and robust health.

PA (Physical Activity)
RT (Resistance Training) Image
IT (Interval Training)
LA (Lactic Acid/Acidosis)
FT (Fast Twitch Muscle)

At first glance this may seem like a lot; it isn’t - it’s the normal life of a wild carnivore. That’s what you should be. It’s only a lot of work for people who are used to wall-to-wall comfort.
LC - Reduce the carbohydrate content of your diet i.e. bread, pasta, rice, pizza, cakes, desserts, sweets. Eat non-starchy vegetables

HP - Eat as much meat, fish, eggs, non-starchy vegetables as you like Image
IF - Eat two meals a day in a 6-8hr window. Breakfast and lunch or lunch and supper. Don’t eat large meals late (within four hours of going to bed)

PA - Don’t do all your physical activity in the gym. Lazy people only go to the gym, they do no other form of physical activity. Image
RT - Some form of resistance training 2-3 times a week is essential, it helps retain/build muscle whilst you are losing fat. Muscle is metabolic machinery, it keeps you lean.

IT - Interval training whether it is running, ergo, rowing, cycling is the dog’s bollocks, do 2x a week Image
LA - You need to reacquaint yourself with acidosis, a high heart rate and muscular effort, especially generated by the lower limbs. You do this as an interval training session. There is something about a lactic acid session which re-engineers the body.
FT - Engaging your fast-twitch muscle helps you build the dynamic strength and muscle of a wild beast

Don’t f**king question how or why this shit makes you lean, it just does. If you exercise (and eat) like this it will be impossible for you to stay overweight Image

GRAVITY 🌎🏋️‍♂️

Gravity is an increasing challenge for people as they age; they fall, they break bones, they have difficulty walking up stairs or slopes, they can’t get up from a chair without using their arms.

Ironically, gravity is the upstream reason pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27358494/twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Working against gravity is how we retain our strength. Using ‘hyper-gravity’ (my term for resistance training), in any direction or plane, means that normal gravity is easier to overcome.

Strong, robust and enduring strength is the fountain of youth. Look at the elderly people… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This physical decline of strength and fitness starts in your 30’s if you are not actively doing something about it. Again, elderly people don’t suddenly become fragile, it’s just a point on the unresisted trajectory of aging.

What do sauna, ice baths, sprinting, training to failure & acidosis have in common?

They are EXTREMES. Generating extremes and tolerating extremes are a superpower. It doesn't matter the nature of the extreme, they are what keeps you young, robust and dynamic.
As you age, your ability to tolerate/generate extremes is the first thing that degrades

First the 'extremes' go - sprinting, jumping, acidosis tolerance, strength; then the normal becomes harder, walking, getting out of a chair, walking up steps.... Image
Aging is Diminishing Variation.

Older people lose the ability to generate and tolerate extremes - they lose the *desire* as well because it hurts. This is the most important quality to retain in age - it's what I do (gentle exercise isn't enough). Image

NEW PERSPECTIVES:

🧵 THREAD

- It’s better to be naively right than expertly wrong
- Much of modern medicine is a solution in search of a problem
- The more powerful the ‘superfood’ the more potential for harm
- The more energy you eat, the less energetic you are
- The human body is designed for scarcity
- Starvation reveals your primal nature
- Supply dictates harm/benefit
- Plants make sense when viewed as drugs
- Eat plants, not all of them, not too many
- The extent of your omnivory is dictated by what you tolerate
- Deranged intestinal permeability causes systemic problems
- In a modern environment the body is harmed by its own protective mechanisms
- Your body is sub-set of the environment
- Your body’s processes match those of the environment
- Nature is senolytic

DISEASES of CIVILISATION - the way they arise which you haven't been told about.

1 Primal protective mechanisms
2 Interaction with the modern environment
3 The derangement manifests as disease

What saves you in the wild environment, harms u in the modern environment

Thread🧵
The human body has been designed to cope with scarcity, not abundance. It's also designed to protect us from injury not from 'comfort'.

Fat storage, visceral fat, inflammation & insulin resistance are primal protective mechanisms.
In the wild environment they are intermittently called upon to help us survive. However, when they are *chronically* engaged by an abundance of calories (& w/out the need to exercise) they start to harm us; obesity, visceral fat, chronic inflammation, Insulin resistance.

During the first lockdown I spent huge amounts of time in the Sun; in the park, on the heath, at the track, in the woods and at the coast. I exercised outside (did interval training on the empty roads) and I knocked about London with my top off.
Spring 2020 was WARM in London, the weather was glorious.

I was going to the coast (aerobic exercise, sun and sea spray) in direct contravention of the lockdown rules BOOSTED my immunity and health.

The lockdown rules of staying indoors did the opposite.
I'm convinced that all this help protect me from covid. I never caught it; if I did it was asymptomatic.
