Just strive to look the way you want to look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why I don&#8217;t eat sugar, carbs, dairy, starch, or alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally speaking I prefer looking more &#8220;lean and mean&#8221; for myself. Before I take a shower, I like to see my abdominal muscles. I like looking at myself in the mirror and being able to see more of my cheek bones in my face. I don&#8217;t like looking &#8220;puffy&#8221; when I&#8217;m more plump with a higher body fat percentage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t have any moralistic qualms over alcohol, carbs, sugars, snacks, etc. To me, I just don&#8217;t like having body fat (adipose tissue) on me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this is the thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I don&#8217;t desire to superimpose my strict standards on others. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And on the other hand, I don&#8217;t want anyone to prevent me from following my own diet regimen. For example I delight in my &#8220;egg snacks&#8221; in the evening (10-12 eggs after dinner, often around 11pm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The ERIC KIM Egg Challenge\" width=\"1180\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MKz5wYF4jWs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for myself, I care so much about my personal and bodily aesthetics that I will pursue whatever lifestyle, diet\/exercise regimen to look and feel the way I want to (intermittent fasting + ketogenic diet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just do what you want to do <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My simple philosophy in life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Only do what you want to do, don&#8217;t do what you don&#8217;t want to do. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t force yourself to follow a diet or exercise regimen you personally don&#8217;t believe in or care for. Your life is yours, listen to yourself, follow your own gut\/conscience, and don&#8217;t let anyone prevent you from doing so. And certainly don&#8217;t get in your own way! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERIC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no &#8220;ideal&#8221; body shape.
