An American beach in the 1950s.

Everyone is slim, tanned & beautiful.

Nobody is Keto, Paleo or Vegan.

So what happened? Let’s take a look 👇
I have been into fitness & health my whole life.

The past 10 years I’ve seen a good trend towards diet & exercise.

Despite that, people are bigger than ever. Why?

Let’s rewind time & take a look. 👇
1. Saturated Fats

In the 50s, heart attacks became increasingly common.

People demanded answers.

The AHA suggested people reduce their saturated fat intake to prevent heart attacks.

Even though humans ate butter, lard & tallow for thousands of years, fats were blamed.
2. Processed Sugar

Big sugar companies didn’t want to be blamed for heart disease either.

In 1964, sugar industry executive John Hickson had an idea.

He bribed Harvard researchers to write reviews that would debunk anti-sugar studies being released.
3. Seed Oils

With fats no longer used for cooking, Americans needed a substitute.

Labeled “vegetable oils”, seed oils were sold as a “healthy alternative.”

Linked to cancer, heart disease & even dementia.

Here is a graph showing their usage in the USA.
4. Processed Foods

With women entering the workforce, families had no time to make their own food.

Processed pre-made food became the norm.

Filled with added sugar, salt, seed oils & preservatives, TV dinners were born

They were a hit, and the packaged food industry boomed
5. Sedentary Lifestyle

People now sit more than ever before.

More sitting means less daily activity.

Less daily activity means fewer calories burned.

Fewer calories burned means more fat stored.
Summary:

Saturated Fats
Processed Sugar
Seed Oils
Processed Foods
Sedentary Lifestyle

Our modern life is killing us.

If we hope to change, we need a revolution, not in diet, but in habits.

We must stop blaming everyone else and start taking responsibility for our choices.

What is her body language telling you…

That her words never will.

👇 Image
Most men think women are great liars.

They aren’t completely wrong.

But here’s the truth: 

women actually tell you everything
if you know how to read their body language.
They are masters of deniability.

Her words may say one thing, but her body will betray what she really feels.

Here are 7 signals her body gives away and how you should respond. 👇

Are you the black sheep of your family? 

Do you have viewpoints that go against the grain? 

That’s because your brain is wired differently.

Give me 2 minutes to explain: Image
We all know people who are “intelligent.”

They crushed college, they have nice jobs.

But they’re clearly not intelligent in the same way you are.

They believe everything in the news.

They do what they’re told. 

They’re easily impressionable. 

Why is that? 👇
That’s because intelligence is not a well-defined word.

It’s a vague word without a solid definition. 

Like the word love, or God. Everyone has a different definition. 

“Intelligent” is an umbrella term with many underlying definitions. 

One of those terms is IQ.

Before you commit, notice these 11 signs women can’t hide. Image
Warning 1

Poor taste in friends.

Her friends are a reflection of herself.

If her friends are all single, drinkers, or carry bad habits, she will have them too.

Bonus point:

No male friends.

She’s smart enough to know that male “friends” only want to sleep with her.
Warning 2

She ghosts you when she’s upset.
This demonstrates child-like communication skills.

The inability to apologize right away or keep commitments in the face of feelings is somebody you do not want to keep around.

Bonus:

She can admit she’s wrong.

Saying I’m sorry even if you played a part shows humility and a willingness to check her ego.

Marriage has several phases. 

Most don’t survive the first two. 

Here’s what you need to know to survive 
the top seven:7️⃣ Image
Phase 1 

Idealism or Wishful Thinking

This is when it feels like a fantasy. 

You plan the wedding, get butterflies whenever you see them, and sex seems like a dream. 

There are no flaws and this person seems perfect. 

This is when the drug endorphins are highest, similar to cocaine or heroin and it blinds you to the truth.Image
Phase 2 
The Discovery Phase

You start noticing little flaws: 

•The way they slurp their coffee, 
•The way they handle arguments. 
•You notice you don’t agree on things. 

You think they were lying to you, but really the endorphin high is wearing off. 

This is when most problems and arguments start, along with sex starting to dwindle. 

It’s the 2 to 4 year mark when most marriages don’t survive.Image

How to Age Like Fine Wine in Marriage
and Stay the Woman He Can't Stop Thinking About

After being married for over 20 years, I think I’ve learned a few things. 

Especially since yes, I’m saying it
our sex life has gotten better with every year that passes. Image
I’m about to share my top five tips for keeping spontaneity and adventure alive in your marriage.

In the early years, I did what a lot of women do:

I got caught up in the noise.

Kids. 
Chores. 
Routines. 
Schedules.
All of it.

 And slowly, those things started to crowd out the most important piece, us.
But I realized something fast: if I didn’t prioritize fun, seduction, and intimacy, no one else would.

So I carved out time. 

I’d plan surprise nights just for us. 

Sometimes I’d wait for him with nothing on but a smile. 

I didn’t just want a routine

I wanted desire.

Adventure.

A pulse.

And no, I never expected him to be the only one taking initiative. 

That’s a one-way street to resentment.
