EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LEAN

NOT MANY DO IT. HERE’S HOW YOU CAN WITH LESS EFFORT AND BS

BODYOPTIC “SHRED” THREAD

Before we start- mind giving this a RT above to help it find someone who may need to read this?

Ok let's go. Get super lean.
Why?



-Live Longer
-Feel More Confident
-More attractive facial structure
-Prevents Serious Illness

-Look More Muscular

But also - @AlexHormozi has a quote that sticks out “your work works on you more than you work on it”. The process of building a healthy, lean body makes you build better character. This is why “poast fizeek” is a powerful thing. Aesthetics are ultimately a MORAL principle.

ok great. you get it. but How?

-Reduce Relative Caloric Imput

-Increase Relative Caloric Output



That’s it! It’s that simple.

ANYTHING you are gonna do to get there is gonna tweak one of those two variables.

But obviously, if it were EASY everyone would do it…

We can all do the Mifflin St Jeor equation and figure out what our estimated caloric needs are, and take away 300-500 calories to get ourselves into a reduced caloric input while keeping caloric output high (freedieting.com has this)

But what are the problems in it?

-Tracking food sucks and is tedious
-People want to eat their favorite, tasty foods and not have to limit them!
-People are busy, stressed, and tired with their lives which makes this harder (because it adds to all of these problems!)
-People try to do it unsustainably

When you think about these problems… what do they really entail?

-Hunger Management

-Time Management
-Stress Management
-Energy Management

it's simply one or a combination of these.

So then, how can we as best as possible set up our diet to MANAGE Hunger, Time, Stress, and Energy?

1. Whole, real foods, and higher quality nutrition
2. Routine, NOT religous tracking
3. Easy Prep & Healthy Convenience
4. NOT limiting ourselves from foods
5. NOT starving ourselves
6. CONSISTENT Daily Exercise
7. CONSISTENT Daily Quality Sleep

1. Whole Foods: You manage, receive AND expend more energy (you metabolize more energy from whole, real foods, burning more calories) and manage hunger because Whole Foods are more satiating, as well as stress because there are more micronutrients.

2. Routine: Rather than religiously logging or tracking every single calorie, just set up a rough weekly routine. You know roughly how many calories are coming in that rough routine, you know whether or not you’re roughly in a deficit, and now you manage time, stress, and hunger.

3. Easy Prep & Healthy Convenience: Kinda goes along with your routine, but think ahead. Do prep work in bulk on Sunday. Get a thermos to keep food hot. Pack lunches, don’t eat out. Cook lunch for tomorrow, with dinner tonight. Ur already cooking!! 2 birds, one cast iron pan. 😂

4. Not limiting ourselves from foods: this where people get themselves in trouble. “OMG Fat is bad for you!” “You can’t eat carbs, carbs make you fat!” No. You NEED protein, fats, and carbs. Do not choose a diet that you cannot sustain. Healthy lifestyle, not fear of food.

5. Not starving ourselves: We need to obviously maintain a caloric deficit, but the more you can do that in a sustainable way, eating every few hours, keeping your hormones firing well, the better your results will be. People fail their diet because they get insurmountably hungry

6. Consistent Daily Exercise: You need to being expending more energy. But people will think “OH I’m gonna start losing weight!” And go run or lift for 3 hours straight. It needs to be a consistent effort, not a Hail Mary. Because if you expend that much, you will be fkn starving

7. Consistent Daily Quality Sleep: Sleep will always influence your discipline. Always. If you don’t sleep, you will grasp for lower quality food choices. You will manage your hunger, energy, and stress much better this way. Phone away at night, consistent sleep/wake times.

Simplicity is King. Less is more.

The more you can adhere to these over time, the better your results will be.
