Stop being a lazy ass

Stop listening "for profit" writers on nutrition...

Go study neuroscience & the effects of known nutrients/minerals...

Then go TEST ON YOUR BODY...

First thing is I learnt...
- I've been undereating majority of my life
- Our biochemistry is COMPLEX, we're controling a beast of a human
- You will intuitively know what your body craves

I've been drinking mainly water since 2014, best decision I ever made. Now after 6-months deep mapping out nueriscience & efficent food fuel....

It's best I ever felt...

Go back to eating sugary foods...HOLY SHIT...I can't describe the DIFFERENCE its legit crazy that all our lives we been doped up!! I only realized this one day when I binged on abit of sugar...
- Can Soda
- Cake

I then looked at my current eating habits. It's RARE I eat 25g+ of sugar.

I have a long way to go testing stuff

P.S...In conjucntion with ny NEWBIE fitness...I can already see my body changing for the better. It's insane how unfit I've been all my life...Irony got a longgggg way to go towards radical change.

P.S.S...With anything before testing I always research personally...I can't just follow things

Would be nice if you elaborated a bit more on how cutting sugar influences you?

I pay attention to bodybuilding advice when I want to know what to eat. If it fosters muscle size it fosters health, simple as that. Skinny, emaciated old people die early. Fit, lean old people live longer.

Be fit and lean.

Eat to be fit and lean or big and strong.

That Meaningness website looks pretty cool. I need to check it out further.

Anyhow, there's a blogger by the name of Jayman who frequently discusses the lack of solid of research in nutrition. There's a summary of his writings about the topic here:

We can now conclusively say that "good" nutrition and probably most other behaviors (including exercise) have little to no long-term impact on health. But a multi-billion dollar industry has grown up saying otherwise.

I think there's too much emphasis on lean protein like chicken breast.

For longer term health one needs more meat cooked on the bone and organ meats. More cartilage and collagen.

A lot of BB type nutrition is oriented towards guys in their 20's in my opinion.

It boils down to common sense and activity. Look at how historically people have fed themselves and try researching the context on which such a type of nutrition was adopted and/or developed and its properties which may or May have not been known /intuitively understood at the time.

But there is good evidence to say bad nutrition and a lack of exercise exercise are bad for you, so I wouldn't go so far as to say that there is no long-term impact on health.

What is ''good'' is hard to define though. It's easier to define what is bad nutrition or a bad lifestlye.

Who said anything about avoiding organ meats and stews and stuff? People select chicken breast since it's pure protein and it's a no-brainer choice.

sure, having a more balanced diet is good, but I'm willing to bet that if 90% of dudes ate more lean meat, cruciferous veggies and "clean" carbs they'd be better off. Plus, I've never heard of a bodybuilder saying "nooooo avoid anything but chicken breast." That's only when they're doing a cutting diet or something. The only reason I'd avoid certain organ meats sometimes is because they're high in iron which can be a bad thing for some people.

I have two friends who are both 40+ who eat more like bodybuilders and look amazing.

I met one of them and swore he was 28 until he later told me he's 40+.

The other guy is a lot older than that but looks around 40.

Both eat like bodybuilders, both keep impeccable hormone records, both live healthy lifestyles and both eat high protein diets with careful carb and fat selection.

Protein is thermogenic. It helps your body burn fat and maintain a lean/hard look all year round. Not to mention, it also gives you satiety so you don't pig out later.

Whenever I meet someone super obese the culprit is almost always processed carb garbage, not brown rice, milk/kefir, steak, chicken thighs/breasts, pork chops, broccoli, kale, almonds, cashews, spinach and other bodybuilding staples.

Today I had chicken thighs, brown rice, and kale for lunch and dinner. I feel fantastic. I wish I had started this sort of diet and exercise regimen 10 years ago. i'd be bigger, leaner, happier and healthier.
