I've struggled with being overweight my entire life. I feel like I am in control and have made a lot of progress-- so I want to preach about this.

Restrictive diets work but if you can't maintain it for a long time (keto, vegan, paleo, etc.) the weight will come back. I yo-yo dieted like many obese people do.

Anyone out there struggling here is how I've lost 160 lbs and gained muscle / mobility:

- Make sure you get good sleep. Sleep is incredibly important. - Intermittent fast (black coffee, tea, or caffeine pill in the am) lunch afternoon - track what you eat (there are a plethora of free apps that can help) - track how much you walk aim for 10k+ steps - do resistance work outs (free weights, calisthenics, ruck march, etc.) - cut back alcohol as much as possible - cut back sugar as much as possible - use the scale as a tool don't be afraid of it. (when I stepped on a scale I weighed over lbs. it was so painful to see that but ultimately worth it)

The biggest thing that has helped is a shift in my mindset. I look at going to the gym as treat /privilege. I've envisioned the end goal of how I look and feel.

What has worked for me is to delay my meals until noon or even later. Eat protein and veggies for lunch.

Coincidentally this is also how I have a partner.

The only place this isn't true is Japan.

Do you have any books you'd recommend on Rockefeller and Carnegie?

Absolutely. One grandmother worked as a farmer. The other worked as an book keeper. The book keeper who believed "exercise is for other people" is frail and extremely week. The farmer is also weak but is far more independent and is seldom sick.

Sometimes I have to remind myself of this. Take for example Bring a Trailer. It is a wordpress site. I know you're rolling your eyes or groaning at the mention of wordpress. It works. It is hugely successful in the niche it is in.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that pharmaceutical companies are profit driven and large swaths of the country have been impacted by pill addictions.

Trust the science- the pharmaceutical industry pushed the idea that Oxy is a less addictive than morphine. State medical boards across the country put their thumbs in their pockets.

But wait there's more! The whole concept of selling SSRIs to people based on another lie that they have a "chemical imbalance" when exercise has proven to be more beneficial.

What else? Oh, mass prescribing stimulants to children.

We are adding 1 trillion dollars to the deficit every 100 days.
