Fate? Look what I found by the side of a country lane today, it took me half an hour to coax her into my car, she was starving & abandoned, RSPCA, no help, Council, no help, Blue Cross, no help, took her to vets, microchipped,owner contacted, no interest, she has found love now👍
After 3 decades of listening to his doctors, my father ended up with diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
After 3 years of listening to his son, my father ended up 40lbs lighter and cancer-free.
Here are 39 health secrets his doctors forgot to tell him:
1. Stop doing diets that have a name.
2. Carbs don't make you fat - too many calories do.
3. Your physical health and mental health are not two separate things - they are reflections of one another.
4. The only *permanent* hack to drink less alcohol is to build a life so good you no longer feel the need to escape it.
5. Working out 3-5 days/wk is more sustainable long term than 6-7 days/wk.
6. The only equipment you *need* is your body.
7. Drinking diet Coke is significantly healthier than drinking regular Coke.
8. Resistance training is far superior to cardio for fat loss.
9. The only “diet” that works is a high-protein one.
10. Eating protein before carbs is the easiest way to crave less carbs.
11. Skipping workouts to spend more time with your family shortens your time on earth with your family.
12. Self-deprecating humor is a sign that you are not mentally healthy.
13. Exercise is a documented antidepressant - use it as such.
14. Most hunger scares can be cured by drinking water.
15. Sodium is not killing you it is keeping you alive.
16. Your habits make you fat not the “fat gene”.
17. Constantly wearing running shoes weakens your feet, core, and lower back.
18. Train your back and your core 2x as much as everything else.
19. Wear blue light glasses or put your phone in “night mode” to improve your sleep quality.
20. Take cold showers or ice baths periodically to increase your stress tolerance.
21. Cardio is less about fat loss and more about strengthening your heart and mind.
22. Eating your protein first will prevent you from overeating elsewhere.
23. Nuts are not a “healthy” snack. They are high fat, high calorie, and easy to overeat.
24. Lifting weights is the most effective workout method to lower your body fat percentage and improve your health.
25. Just because something is “vegan” does not mean it’s healthy.
26. Intermittent fasting is not a magic pill. It works because you eat less food.
27. Working out is not just for looks. Your body is the temple of God and you should honor it as such.
28. Stop waiting till your next doctor's visit to weigh yourself. You can’t manage a problem you avoid confronting. Weigh yourself daily instead.
29. Having no routine on the weekends is saying your goals don’t matter 29% of the time.
30. Turn the room temperature down to 68 degrees or lower at night. We fall asleep faster in colder environments.
31. Eat slower. It gives your body time to secret Leptin, the “I’m full” hormone.
32. Find an active hobby you enjoy and participate in it regularly.
33. Stop picking up your phone as soon as you wake up. Mindless morning scrolling starts the day off with unnecessary stress. Wait 30 minutes to check your phone instead.
34. Stop sleeping on your side, it deteriorates your shoulder health over time. Sleep on your back instead.
35. Don’t drink coffee as soon as you wake up - but don’t drink coffee in the afternoon either. Both extremes mess up your hormones.
36. Men operate on a 24-hour hormone cycle. Our drive is highest in the morning. Take advantage of this and work out before your family wakes up.
37. Mindless snacking is less about hunger and more about your lack of emotional control.
38. I’ve never seen anyone keep the weight off long-term without accountability outside of themselves. Share your goals with other men.
39. Motivation is fleeting - you must establish proper default actions to actually be consistent.
