When in doubt, go light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why lighter is better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having ultralight shoes: walk further, longer, with less fatigue. Even a few extra ounces on your feet (compounded over thousands of steps) will probably equal tons of additional weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultralight photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best standalone digital camera as RICOH GR, in terms of weight to power ratio. Smallest possible size, with the best possible image quality and aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RICOH GR III as innovating by making the body smaller and lighter than the GR II, while increasing the image quality. What if we could do something similar physically — lower our body fat percentage and weight, yet increase our muscular strength and mass? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighter phones <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ultralight weight phones: text longer with no fatigue in thumbs. Larger and heavier phones are more difficult to use, and cause more thumb pain from texting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When purchasing phones, always opt for the lighter phone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultralight weight cars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 2300 pound Mazda Miata compared to a 3400 pound Porsche 911.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mazda as more nimble and probably thus more fun to drive, although the Porsche has more horsepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No heavyweight sports cars here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race cars as obsessive about shedding superfluous weight from cars (carbon fiber innovations). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercury has light feet <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To run faster and become stronger, ruthlessly prune anything which weighs or slows you down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fewer burdens, the better. This includes both physical burdens as well as mental burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedding is easier than gaining <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To look more muscular and aesthetically beautiful, more effective to lose body fat than to gain muscle. A person with tons of muscle (but tons of body fat) doesn’t look as attractive as someone with moderate muscle, yet very low body fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighter is better! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
