Turtle’s weight loss

tldr:

• extend the streak of 1900 calories of fresh food.
• Diet is EVERYTHING
• 12 miles a week is a tool. Jay Pharoah.
• Fasting is a tool when done for longer and longer periods. Michelson did IF.
• See how far you can stretch your body with depravation
• Lower your a1c naturally so that you can actually loose the weight

It is actually possible to loose weight, contrary to what has been happening with me. Many people, who seem calm and a bit dumb, end up losing weight. I, on the other hand, try to outthink my shit. My mind is too active. Fuck. Maybe thats one of the issues. My active mind keeps trying to hold on to weight.

Turtle – Jerry Ferrerra

He lost 40 pounds in 10 months. A whole lifestyle change. Quitting smoking and annual physical. Critically, it was generally diet based. He struggled initially, but then just stuck with it:

“A friend’s wife, who is a nutritionist, drew up a simple diet. I followed it for three days, then had a meltdown and almost gave up,” Ferrara revealed. “I started again and then had a 20-day streak. Then I gave up again. I got another 20 days and this time it stuck.”

Makes sense!
