He ate MORE.
Lost the weight.
Not because of a deficit.
Because he finally ate for his physiology.
Most guys are still following someone else’s plan they read on social media.

No tire kickers. I’m not wasting my time on the unambitious who just wants free stuff.
I know what it’s like to build a 7 figure business so I can help you.
Here’s a framework for personal finance. 💰You’ll want to save this. 🚨
1: Build a budget You can't make wise choices without good information in one place Start by tracking your ☑️ Income (monthly & yearly) ☑️ Expenses ☑️ Net Worth So easy to do this with AI now.
2: Get Good Insurance Insurance is boring and costly, but it prevents financial catastrophes. Shop around and get coverage on: Auto
Identity Umbrella Term Life Homeowners / Renters
Health insurance can be good if your company has solid plans, but also explore medishare options.
3: Don’t buy stuff you won’t care about in 6 min. Look at each expense. Ask, "Am I getting enough value to justify this expense?" If yes, keep it. If not, find ways to reduce/eliminate it.
4: 3-6 Month Emergency Fund Look at your fixed monthly costs. Save this much and keep it in a high yield savings account that you don't touch ever. If you need to pick up side work to build this it’s worth it. The average American can’t afford a $500 emergency. There’s tremendous peace of mind by doing this.
5: Eliminate High-Interest Debt Debt makes you a slave. Pay down any high interest debt that you have. Refinance if possible. Throw every dollar at it until it's gone.
This comes after 3 mo emergency fund. Also AI tools can help negotiate lower rates.
6: 401(k) up to the match If your employer offers a 401(k) with a match, contribute enough to match it, but nothing more. Invest it however you'd like (I like mutual funds). Don’t invest until high interest debt is gone. If you get a 10% return in the S&P 500 but are paying 19% on credit cards you’re losing money.
7: Max your Health Savings Account (if applicable) Do you have a high-deductible health plan that offers an HSA? Max it out! HSA's are triple tax free!
9: Max an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) ROTH or Traditional depends on your current tax situation. Invest it the same way you invest your 401k.
10: Eliminate all non-mortgage debt Pay down any remaining debt (car, student loan) that is not a mortgage.
11: Time to build wealth! I suggest splitting any extra money beyond steps 1-10 into 3 equal buckets: ▪️ 33% to brokerage account (stocks?) ▪️ 33% to mortgage paydown fund ▪️ 33% to irregular expense fund (car, vacation)
This is step one if you’re working a 9-5, but you’ll get ahead faster if you start a side hustle. Eventually it may become the main hustle.
I’ve put together a guide of 50, unsexy business ideas that can print cash. I’ve ranked them by start up costs, how much you can leverage AI, what’s needed to get started, and included a sample business plan.
It’s not free because in it is a link to book a call with me to discuss helping you implement it and I don’t have time for tire kickers.
Frankly, if you aren’t willing to spend a tiny amount of this amount of value you don’t deserve to succeed. Sorry, that’s just how it is.
If you want the link to the guide, comment guide and I’ll send it over.
Next you can see examples from the guide.
Bodybuilders have been so far ahead on nearly every health, biohacking, cutting edge medical trend so far before anybody else knew these things existed
This is the guy who cuts calories, adds cardio, and somehow looks softer every month.
McMaster researchers put 40 young men on a 40% calorie cut for 4 weeks with hard lifting and intervals 6 days a week. Half ate 1.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight, half ate 2.4.
The high protein group gained 1.2 kg of lean mass and lost 4.8 kg of fat. The lower protein group gained almost no lean mass and lost 3.5 kg of fat.
When you diet, your body is a landlord deciding which tenant to kick out. Lift heavy and eat your protein, and muscle is the tenant paying rent.
Eat the protein, lift the weights, then cut.
Starving yourself on 1,800 calories and chugging black coffee before morning cardio is why you still have love handles
Your arms, chest and shoulders get smaller every month while the ring of fat around your lower belly doesn't move an inch
You don't have stubborn genetics, and cutting another 300 calories is only going to make you look softer
Look at what you're doing to your hormones between 6am and noon:
You wake up, skip breakfast, pour 300mg of caffeine into an empty stomach, and go do 45 minutes of cardio while you're already in a steep calorie deficit
Your brain reads "no food + high physical stress + adrenaline spike" as a literal famine
Within 2 weeks of running that routine, your body pulls two emergency levers to keep you alive:
First, your liver stops converting thyroid hormone (T4) into active Free T3 and converts it into Reverse T3 instead. Reverse T3 is the biological brake pedal on your metabolism. Your resting calorie burn drops by 400 calories a day, your hands and feet get cold, and your energy tanks
Second, because you have no food in your system to keep your blood sugar stable during fasted cardio, your adrenal glands flood your blood with cortisol to break down tissue for glucose
Guess which tissue cortisol breaks down fastest?? Your muscle tissue on your shoulders, back and arms
And guess where your body has 4x more cortisol receptors than anywhere else?? The visceral and subcutaneous fat cells on your lower belly, your love handles, and your face
So every morning you wake up and grind fasted cardio on black coffee, you are chemically instructing your body to eat its own upper-body muscle and lock your stomach fat in a vault
What actually unlocks a stalled waist:
-> Never put caffeine into an empty stomach. Eat 30g to 40g of protein plus carbs and salt within 45 minutes of waking so morning cortisol drops instead of spiking
-> Lift heavy 3 to 4 days a week and swap punishing fasted cardio for 10,000 steps after meals (walking after you eat clears blood glucose without triggering a cortisol dump)
-> Eat at maintenance calories for 14 days with real carbs (rice, potatoes, fruit) so your liver clears Reverse T3 and turns Free T3 back on
-> Check Fasting Insulin, Free T3, Reverse T3 and Morning Cortisol
Once people understand that weight loss is a hormone and receptor game rather than a "suffer harder on the treadmill" game, the entire fitness industry starts looking different
That is why millions of gym-goers are firing their $300/month macro coaches and moving to medical metabolic and GLP-1 telehealth brands. When a patient's insulin resistance, food noise and metabolic hormones are actually addressed alongside lifting and protein, the waist finally drops without burning all their muscle off
If you own a gym, a fitness page, a med spa or an ecom brand, those buyers are already in your ecosystem
Tessic Health gives you the backend to launch your own telehealth brand without spending a year hiring doctors and lawyers:
- Independent licensed prescribers in all 50 states who review each patient's medical intake and labs and decide whether weight loss or hormone treatment fits
- Partner pharmacies that fulfill and ship under your brand name
- Branded portal, CRM for intakes and renewals, billing, plus LegitScript and payment-processing help

@bowtiedmeathead This is why consistent lifting matters so much. The muscle has to get trained to listen, no matter what's floating around in your blood.
