How to get lean in 2024
I've gotten lean AF the last few months and figured I'd share this so you don't waste time and energy doing stupid s**t trying to lose weight.
Now I don't want to sound like a dick here.
But tbh I've hardly been exercising. Few times a week for 20 mins or so.
Also I've been stressed out of my fu***ng mind for months. Actually the whole of 2023. But the last month was next level stress.
I'm not 21 so my metabolism isn't perfect.
And I've been lucky to 6-7 hrs a night plus traveling all over the place.
Doesn't sound super healthy at all.
And hey, it's not.
My secret?
Ketamine!
No just kidding 😂 I don't know if that helps weight loss?
But seriously, IMO getting lean is 97.3% eating related.
Bc you know what?
I've mostly been eating loads of carbs.
WHITE CARBS.
Only white rice and white potatoes type of carbs.
Also chicken, steak, some fish, protein shakes (pea protein), some fruits here and there, avo and proper olive oil. No greens, so I have 2-3 green juices a day.
But overall, it's pretty low fat diet bc my gut was all messed up.
And yeah, I know this all sounds boring. But hey, do you want to be healthy and lean or not?
For me, I don't eat because I'm sad or happy or for any emotional reason.
I see food as fuel I need to be productive and feel good. I still go out but just listen to my body and don't go crazy.
And just listen to my body and eat when I'm hungry. Strategic eating.
And hey, I'm not perfect all the time. Sometimes I crush lime chips and Haribos. But I don't beat myself up about it or even think twice.
Also note: I don't drink alcohol. But that's for my metal health not weight loss. In fact, I drink fake beer most days
But I do drink loads of alkaline water, ginger tea, organic black coffee and sparkling water.
So bottom line
Don't waste time and energy exercising like crazy to lose weight.
Spend that time getting YOUR eating right.
When you have the right mindset - and you stay consistent for a while - it's not as hard as you think.

PS. I'm not flexing. I also don't have a fake tan (how could you tell). And I don't do comp prep or fitness modeling. Maybe I should tho! 🤣
