Care For Yourself (part 2)
DIET
I wish the science were clear...
But outside gravity and maybe geometry,
...most “science” sounds like opinion in a lab coat.
Keto?
Mostly bacon and avocados.
Great for Ice Age life.
Try skipping bread in Paris—you’ll fold in 15 minutes.
Plants aren’t villains.
Paleo-ish rules help anchor you in something evolutionarily sane.
Fat satisfies.
It kills cravings.
Sugar cons you—tricks your brain into thinking you’re still starving.
That’s how desserts betray you.
In nature, sugar + fat = rare.
Usually inside a coconut.
If it tastes unreal...
...it probably is.
I’m not a nutritionist.
Neither are 90% of people sermonizing about food.
My rule?
Caveman-simple: don’t mix sugar and fat.
Sugar spikes hunger.
Fat shuts it up.
Unless you know better, sugar wins.
Eat better—not less.
Clean food ends hunger fast.
Garbage food keeps you chewing till your fingers shine
...and your soul questions everything.
Weirdly?
Fasting feels easier than pretending you’ll eat “just a little.”
Once your brain smells food?
Game over.
Bread that stays soft for months?
That’s not food.
That’s edible packaging.
Still fighting meat vs. plants like it’s Marvel vs. DC?
Relax.
If it didn’t exist 200 years ago...
...maybe don’t eat it.
With health, subtract before you supplement.
Also?
My trainer sends me pics of every meal.
Calls it accountability.
I call it triggering my inner fry-goblin.
Bottom line?
The more processed it is, the less your body recognizes it.
Cravings don’t care.
But your health does.
EXERCISE
Brutal effort.
Chill recovery.
What changed everything?
Morning workouts.
Only thing with that kind of ROI.
Energy spikes.
Sleep locks in.
Everything clicked when I realized:
“I don’t have time” = “It’s not a priority.”
You don’t get 15 priorities.
You get one.
I chose health.
Now I don’t ask if I have time to train...
...I just train.
Even if the world melts down, it waits 30 minutes
...while I plank, sweat, and regret my life choices.
I train almost every day.
Only skip when I’m sick, broken, or trapped in an airport.
Missed days?
One hand can count them—with fingers left to peel a banana.
One solid month of yoga?
My spine felt 17 again.
Flexibility keeps you young.
Not theory—proof.
Doesn’t matter how you move.
Pilates, kettlebells, HIIT, backyard dance ritual...
Just move.
DAILY
That’s the hack.
The best workout?
The one you’ll do again tomorrow.
Walking meetings?
Pure genius.
They deliver:
• Clearer thinking
• Natural movement
• Sun instead of slides
• Zero fluff
• Real talk
• Built-in exit: walk off
Like everything else—
Suffer now...
...so you suffer less later.
My trainer Jerzy Gregorek—who looks like
...he eats dumbbells—put it best:
“Easy choices, hard life.
Hard choices, easy life.”
So skip the fries.
Hit the mat.
Say no now...
...so life says yes later.
Same rule applies to cash, ethics, and dating apps.
Choose easy now?
Brace for cleanup.
