I hope the NHL get caught!

When you boil and then chill a potato, the starches go through a process called retrogradation.

They turn into "Resistant Starch," which your body cannot fully digest as sugar.

Instead, it acts like fiber, feeding your gut bacteria and keeping your blood sugar stable.
Reheating them doesn't destroy the effect.
You’ve successfully hacked a high-carb food into a gut-health supplement.

@Thermobolic Did you ever try the date and potatoes?
New to your X channel and loving it!

For about a decade, I’ve been showing these two slides at conferences.

Two hunter-gatherer populations (Hadza and Tsimane), likely the closest living humans to our Paleolithic ancestors.

Diet:
• 65–70% carbohydrates
• 15-20% protein
• 10–15% fat
• ~13% lower daily caloric intake than the US population

Daily movement:
• 115–135 minutes per day
• 6–12 km of walking

Health outcomes:
• Obesity: ~2%
• Type 2 diabetes: ~1%
• Cardiovascular disease: among the lowest ever observed
This is not a low-carbohydrate population. The difference is metabolic fitness.

When mitochondria are continuously stimulated by daily movement, carbohydrates can be oxidized (burnt).

When movement disappears, fuel oxidation fails and metabolic disease emerges.

The debate should not be low-carb vs high-carb. That debate has failed to solve obesity or type 2 diabetes for decades.

The real question is:
Can your mitochondria still do their job?

Simple strength test:

You should be able to do about as many push-ups as back hyperextensions.
If those are wildly different, you’ve found a weak link.

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

If your low back hurts, here’s a simple question:
Can you do as many back extensions as push-ups?

Most people train the front.
Almost nobody trains the back.

Light back extensions pump blood into the area and often calm things down.

Use my 321-OUT to help.
3 hours out — last meal
2 hours out — prep tomorrow
1 hour out — read, no screens

They start hours earlier when food, light, and stress never slow down. #MidlifeHealth #StrengthAfter40

Most midlife sleep problems don’t start at bedtime.

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

If you’re unfit, eating high fat + high carb meals, jams the system.

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

Strength after 40 is built between workouts.

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

Most people don’t overeat. They under-recover.

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

Most midlife fatigue isn’t age.
It’s recovery that never finishes.

I am done with Disney Star Wars! That last interview was horrific!
I honestly believe KK is trying to kill Star Wars out of revenge! How on earth can anyone mess this epic opportunity up!!! #starwarsmemes #RIPstarwars #acolyte #sad

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

From over working, anxiety, too much cardio, under eating due to no plan on nutrition, sleep was horrific, pain high.

To making change! Nutrition focus, daily walks after meals, 3 full body workouts per week, sleep routine, making myself a priority!

#priority #change #50

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

There is NO “I Hope it works this time” when you actively create new habits and a lifestyle to create CHANGE❤️

24 years in the industry!

What doesn’t work?
If your focus is purely on what you weigh, you will fail!

What works!
Focus on self improvement, strength, stamina, fitness, mobility, nutrition. Embracing the journey creates the new you! Body weight takes care of itself! #Embrace

[Coach Chad | Midlife Strength @ChadAction]

Training sculpts & strengthens the physique

Cardio builds your cardiovascular system & capacity

Nutrition fuels work, rebuilds, hormonal balance, regeneration, sleep, pain management.

Do all 3 consistently your bodyweight take cares of itself!
