Building muscle gives you some latitude

Muscle:

- boosts metabolism: burning calories for each pound of muscle you carry - even while resting or on days off

- acts as a sponge for blood sugar and insulin > instant regulated levels of both so your body more efficiently burns stored fat as fuel (and is storing less visceral fat)

Takes a lot of work up front to build a good amount of muscle & then to get lean, but after that - it makes maintaining a lot more sustainable.

@lady_valor_07 I used to eat fast food far more regularly. Once I started eliminating high glycemic carbs - fast food menus got a lot less fun, and it forced me to cook more large batch stuff at home.

I always incorporate cheat days in my diets - but won’t waste a cheat day on fast food.

@dr_ericberg Blueberries are my favorite

Aside from the mental acuity benefits most associate with caffeine, it has several important health benefits:

When taken is a reasonable 2-3x/day - it can artificially boost your metabolism

Taking regularly throughout the day - caffeine is a diuretic, & will help keep your digestive system working on a regular schedule. Super important to get waste out of your system asap!!! Probably THE most important benefit of caffeine.

@micheal_ws18 52 now. I was a trainer & owned a gym when I was in my 20s. Not quite back to that point — but that’s the goal!

@ThrillaRilla369 There are also people that like candy corn! So I am sure there are a few! Years from now, I feel we will find they were part of some covert government experiment! 🤣

[InvestInIron @InvestInIron]

@RamsGUNDAPA @dr_ericberg Yes! I take a fairly descent daily dose. As soon as anything feels the slightest bit off (or family gets sick) - triple the dose until in the clear.

Water soluble — so tough to take too much!

@RamsGUNDAPA @dr_ericberg I had a friend early on that was a big Linus Pauling believer.

I started taking vitamin c over 30 years ago.

I am NEVER sick (2 times in last 14 years - both were strep my wife brought home from school 😐). I believe vitamin C is a big part of that! 👍

Fish Oil - Omega-3 for me

I am 52 - achy joints & frequent bicep/tricep tendonitis flare-ups

I only ever try changing 1 variable at any given time - so I know what works & what doesn’t. Have started & quit tons of crap (80% + is crap)

Adding fish oil gel caps has pretty much eliminated my tendonitis. I have gone for a longer stretch than ever without a flare-up. Shoulder has been better too.

I used to get cravings where it felt like I was crashing unless I ate or drank something with some sugar.

I cut sugar & high glycemic carbs & that has been gone for over a year now.

Still eat carbs - but high protein & high fat. Doesn’t feel like a diet. I love food — I could never do the “chicken & rice for every meal” unless I was getting paid serious $$$ for it…

[InvestInIron @InvestInIron]

At least cut sugar & high glycemic carbs.

And limit artificial sweeteners (which can stimulate the same cravings).

High protein / high fat diet will keep you satiated & will keep your blood sugar & insulin in a good place. Don’t need to go full keto unless you really want to.

[InvestInIron @InvestInIron]

@CaryKelly11 100%!!!

Cut high glycemic carbs & the results will be dramatic!

High protein / high fat is the way to go! Doesn’t even feel like a “diet”!

Don’t need to go full keto if you do not want to!

[InvestInIron @InvestInIron]

@ItsCaspius @FitnessEmpiree The part about how much protein your body can utilize in one sitting?

Look it up. Not new info…
