    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:28 🍽️ *Maintain a weekly calorie oversight rather than daily tracking, ensuring a slight deficit for fat loss phases or a slight surplus for muscle building.*
    01:48 🏋️‍♂️ *Increase calories only with heightened activity levels to manage energy flux effectively for metabolic adjustments without backlash.*
    03:36 ☕ *Use caffeine strategically as a fat loss tool by varying intake based on activity levels rather than relying on it consistently.*
    04:32 🌅 *Perform some form of fasted exercise daily to introduce hormetic stressors, aiding fat loss efforts.*
    05:29 🥩 *Opt for lean meats for easier calorie tracking, supplementing fats through other sources to maintain dietary control.*
    07:44 🍗 *Use libido changes as an indicator for necessary calorie increases, monitoring overall metabolic health.*
    08:57 ⏰ *Maintain a consistent 12-hour eating window, allowing for a 12-hour break from food to support metabolic function.*
    09:25 🍖 *Prioritize protein consumption over other options, even if it means eating less or opting for simpler protein-rich choices.*
    10:47 🚫 *Minimize snacking between meals to stabilize insulin levels, promoting efficient fat utilization during periods of low insulin.*
    11:42 🍓 *Address sweet cravings with fruit or dark chocolate (85% or higher) while understanding their impact on fat loss and using salt to mitigate cravings.*
    13:19 🚶‍♂️ *Embrace walking as a habitual activity, taking every chance to walk, whether taking the stairs or walking during downtime.*
    14:15 🥑 *Consider incorporating an avocado daily for its nutritional benefits, including fiber and monounsaturated fats, for overall health maintenance.*

    I've been eating one avocado per day for the last 6 years. 🥑👍
    Side effect....I'm now really good at picking avocados.
    My 3 guidelines:
    1. Plan ahead, and buy the most bright green, rock hard avocados you can find...they won't be bruised up and get nasty fast.
    2. Leave unripe avocados out on the counter resting on something soft, when they get darker green and have the feel of modeling clay when gently squeezed, either eat, or put in the fridge, where they'll stay good for 4-7 more days.
    3. Classic pear-shaped avocados are best. Very round (spherical), and the pit will be HUGE. Very long-necked and they will be stringy/fibrous.
    Cheers!

    #8 "Eating only protein" has been a game changer for me.
    Example - We just went on a cruise. I did not want to just eat garbage during our long travels days flying there and long days of activities on the trip.
    I still wanted to enjoy myself so I loaded lean for the majority of the day. Smoked salmon and ham during breakfast, whatever lean meat they were serving for lunch.
    Then during the dinner and evenings I had a little more "Play" to be a bit more free with food... Since I did not over do everything all day. At that point in the evening I am simply less HANGRY because I had not eaten junk all day. Im actually less likely to go into "Cookie Monster" mode lol.
    I still enjoyed food - I just tried to limit the "indulgence" to one meal max per day. The rest was clean and lean.

    I'll give you mine
    haven't even watched the full video yet btw
    1: Calorie Deficit
    2: Eat whole foods, fruits veggies, meat dairy, eggs fish
    3: drink plenty of water, diet drinks are allowed also and coffee
    4: weight training is a MUST if you don't want to end up looking skinny fat
    5: walking is king for cardio and fat loss, i aim for 25k steps a day when dieting
    6: Sleep and especially deep sleep is crucial for optimal hormone health, happiness and of course fat loss and muscle repair
    7: Intermittent fasting helps a ton, i don't eat till around 12pm, usually fasted cardio of some sort and some coffee in the morning
    8: Stay busy and active throughout the day, i notice when I'm bored with nothing to do I'm more likely to eat or binge eat
    9: Set realistic goals, aim for about a 1lb to 1.5lbs a week, the more fat you have the more aggressive you can be at first
    10: Make sure you're hitting your micro-nutrients, using Cronometer, log your daily food and see what you're deficient in and then adjust
    11: Take diet breaks when needed, and allow yourself some wiggle room to eat whatever you want as long as it is within your calories limit
    12: Enjoy life, have fun, do not obsess over the scale and enjoy the journey.

    I do most of these things especially the protein emphasis with good fats, six hour eating window, 1 avocado, and walking (25K/day step goal). I have never felt better (will turn 60 this year). Went from 353 pounds to 198 pounds in 15 months (still working to get that last 23 pounds off to get me to a 15% body fat and 24-25 FFMI). Resistance train for 1 1/2 hours 3 times a week, 30 minutes of rowing 3 times a week, and the walking. The Macadamia nuts with sea salt are great. My daughter loves them as well (we usually split a package).

    I'm a fan of fasted exercise in general too. I feel like having a bunch of food in my stomach, especially when lifting, makes me sluggish. I also prefer to have any insulin spikes happen after the workout, so I don't get a drop in energy if I'm going to be in the gym longer than 45 mins.
    What I like to do is load up with a really solid last meal the day before I'm doing some serious lifting and work off that.
