6. Get sufficient quality sleep. Good sleep is the secret foundation for great health and without it, all of this other stuff becomes a waste of time. Prioritize getting amazing sleep and everything else will improve. Here’s why. And here’s how.
7. Stop counting calories, food measuring, and stressing out. Start buying, cooking, and eating real whole food, and eat until you are satisfied, using these rules as a guide. Here’s Why Counting Calories is a waste of time.
8. Exercise regularly but not to lose weight. Exercise is amazing for your body but don’t try and out-exercise a shitty diet. Working out is most effective when it’s done using weights and with short periods of intense unpleasant activity. * The Stoops easy, no jogging, workout plan
