How to Lose Fat Fast

To lose fat (adipose tissue — body fat) is simple. It might be hard, but the steps are easy:

  1. Cut out all starches, sugars, carbohydrates (both the ‘good’ complex carbs and the simple carbs). No sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial and “natural” sweeteners. No fruit (it is modern candy).
  2. No beer, wine, alcohol. These contribute to fat (adipose tissue) gain.
  3. Cut out all dairy. Most humans are quite lactose-intolerant anyways. Lactose is just sugar– in cow milk form.
  4. No pastries, cookies, sweets, breads (both whole wheat and white bread).
  5. Intermittent fasting (no breakfast or lunch); one huge meal a day. When you break your fast, eat lots of meat and vinegary foods/fermented foods.
  6. Stick to drinking only tea (no sugar or cream or milk or weird milk substitutes like almond milk/cashew milk/oat milk), drink only black coffee, and drink only water. If you want to extend your fast, drink 100% cocoa powder.

My Muscle Philosophy:

Treat your body as sculpture.

This is not my body

The first thing:

I don’t see my body as belonging to me. I look at my body like it belongs to someone else.

When I look at the Lamborghini of someone else, I admire it. When I see the muscles and physiques of anyone else, I admire it. Then I had the epiphany:

Why not transform my own body into a Lambo, and admire my own body instead?

The logic

The great logic:

  1. It is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lambo.
  2. The human body is the apex beauty. This means your personal goal in life should be to beautify your own personal body to the maximum (without plastic surgery, steroids, etc).
  3. Ultimate democratic approach: Genetics doesn’t matter. Sex doesn’t matter. Racial ethnicity doesn’t matter. Anyone can both add muscle mass and subtract fat.
  4. It doesn’t cost much to get ripped. Just intermittent fast [no breakfast, no lunch], one big ass meal a day, and mostly a ‘ketogenic’ diet.
  5. Your body is always with you. Why not beautify your body to inspire yourself?

The joy of sculpting your own body

To sculpt your own body is insanely fun. Why? You can see the change over time!

Once again, the goal is simple:

Never stop adding muscle mass, and never stop reducing body fat, or keeping it low (around 10%).

Muscle and your body is highly practical.

The more muscle you have, the more energy you got. The more power you got to make art-work, and live with gratitude, joy, and hyper-vigor.

Strengthen on, and flex on!
