"I want to live a long life, free of sickness. I honor my body physically by taking great take care of it through exercise, supplements and proper diet.
“A well built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it, no money can buy it. You cannot borrow it, you cannot inherit it, you cannot steal it. You cannot hold onto it without constant work. It shows discipline, it shows self respect, it shows patience.” ―Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Exercise will make you productive. It will clear your mind, process any negative energy, and give you a win every day."

Diet¶
- Get Slim from Diet. Get Fit from Exercise.
- Specifically: LC/HF + IF + ST + HIT (Low-Carb / High-Fat diet + Intermittent Fasting + Strength Training + High Intensity Training).
- Have a goal of "zero carb". It's not possible, because there are hidden carbs everywhere. But if you aim for "low" carb you'll end-up with more than you expect.
- High fat. Yes, really. Lot's of fatty meat (ribeye, burnt ends, bacon, butter etc).
- 16/8 Intermittent Fasting: this means no food for 16 hours straight, and only eating within the remaining 8 hour window. Try to slowly increase to 18/6 and even 20/4.
