RE: I've changed my views on solid food... And how I lost 16 pounds in 16 days.
What you did with your carbs, the whole carbs only after working out, is the same thing I did, It's called carb backloading, its amazing, I had great results with it, and I always felt full. Was able to shed weight like a beast! And pack on muscle like a gorilla.
Unfortunately, I'm right now like you were some years back, life is getting in the middle of me working out and I'm gaining a little bit of fat, mainly I need the gym money/supplements money to invest as much as I can into Cryptos and other things... Just for a couple of years. I want to be financially free as soon as I can so that I can focus on whatever I want to do, I put the gym in second place... I'm still trying to workout at home, but it doesn't motivate me as much as in the gym tbh. And since it's just for a couple of years it won't matter much, I'm still only 25, I would rather lose a little health to get on a huge opportunity like crypto is... this is like getting on the dotcom bubble back in 2000.
Ok... supplements can help, but food and exercise do most / all the work.... So, don't even worry about those (good vitamins can help, since you're not taking the time to get the best food). Financial freedom IS a great goal, and I highly respect and encourage it. But if you get your wealth, and have to spend it all on medical bills, you won't be so happy. Additionally, you will get more done for your wealth-earning if you are in better shape. Trust me, I've had 6 figure income, I've had barely any income... and everything in between. More importantly, you'll feel better about being yourself if you look better. Makes the wealth be even better. 25 is a great time to stay up for 3 days at a time. Here's an easy way to get more done, and get your health in as well - Come up with a 15-30 minute routine that you can do to start your day... You know, get a few dumbbells - do some pushups, some curls, some jumping jacks.... Whatever- youtube's filled with stuff. You'll feel better throughout the day- make better decisions on what to invest in, or what trades to make, etc.. And you'll slim up too. Mostly though, the feeling of feeling great is the amazing stuff. Additionally, there is great power in having a daily routine (I make art every single day since April 21, 2012 - and my life is so much better because I have that thing I Do no matter what) - http://TheArtOfOri.com/year8
