281 and counting

The cut is going on. I feel like I finally have a handle on this. The question is, how long can I maintain this for? Am I in a crash diet?

The transition to normalness will be tricky. But no – you are not in a crash.

Key things I am doing on this cut:

• 1600 calories average.
  • This is not sustainable for too long, but, push it as far as you can this time. The body is responding. Don’t mess with that.
• NO ALCOHOL
  • I gave up alcohol on Jan 21 2023. Not sure how long this will go for, but I have zero desire right now. I love drinking zero alcohol shit though. It is great. I can still socialize.
• HIGH PROTEIN LOW FAT
  • I never did this before! This is new. I am primarily eating white meats and salads. And they are very satisfying. I have given up on red meat (almost entirely).
  • Less calories, and I think my body is not dealing with fats well.
  • This is working for me right now. Maybe keto just doesnt work for me at this age. It definitely did 10 years ago.
• Early morning bike rides
  • Almost every day for the last 5 days I have done the Huberman morning thing. This has been doing amazing stuff for me I think.
  • Bike AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
• Runs
  • Still training for Marathon 2024. Long way to go. My body is still in the beginning stages.

I should look at some upper body weight training to preserve muscles. I don’t want to lose that.

This is the last few days:
