We have an imperfect healthcare system. But the #1 thing cutting American lives short is heart disease. And the #1 contributor to heart disease is diet and lifestyle. We should strive to improve the system, but the change starts with us!

We all agree that the Disney Movie Wish was written by Chat GPT right?

@NevermoreBeeCo hey! We’d like to work with you.

This is a bat signal @elonmusk we need some Tesla engineers diverted to inventing a dishwasher that actually dries dishes 🙏🏼💦

2-yo’s be so feral. No matter how nicely you put them together in the morning they look like they’ve been dragged backwards thru 7 bushes by 10am.

If you miss a day (or two) or falter, even in this first week, it’s not the end of the world. You don’t need to quit, you just need to narrow your focus and keep trying to hit those incremental habit goals. You got this! 💪🏼

Don’t focus on the scale or on huge goals when you’re just starting out on a fitness journey. Instead, focus on building the habits that will make you successful in achieving that goal over the long haul.

For example, instead of deciding you’re going to lose 50lbs this year, you could decide you want to 1) strength train 2x per week, 2) eat 0.8-1.0x your body weight in grams of protein per day, and 3) get 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Use this blueprint to revise your resolution(s): limit yourself to 1 fitness habit, 1 nutrition habit, and 1 lifestyle habit that you’d like to adopt or change.

If you’re already finding your resolution(s) hard to maintain, chances are you are trying to do too much too soon. Instead, break your large goals down into smaller pieces.

Instead of quitting, try revising your resolution(s)! The first week is a week for refining and experimentation, not perfection.

By the end of the week, 1 in 4 people will have given up on their New Year’s Resolution already. If you find yourself struggling, quitting isn’t the only option! (a thread…)

The trouble with love is…there’s no trouble with love. Love is perfect. It heals everything, even the unimaginable pain we all feel right now. Lean out of hate and judgment, and into love! #loveisallyouneed #loveistheanswer #lovewins #godlovesyou

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but food that is made in a lab or industrially derived will never be better for you than food that occurs in nature and is derived from natural sources. Even if that food is MEAT 🥩 #carnivorediet #ketolifestyle

One minute you’re cool, and the next minute you’re excited by videos of women cleaning their dishwashers on Instagram.

Our conditioning to stay (metaphysically) small can keep us stuck as (physically) large. #obesity #weightloss #bodypositivity

Weight loss doesn’t have to be about achieving an impossible ideal. It should be about small, gradual change. Even losing 5-10% of your body weight can drastically improve your risk of health problems. #bodypositive #weightloss

Thin people telling fat people on the internet how they should feel about their bodies and weight loss is wrong & paternalistic. I can handle the discomfort that acknowledging the health risks of obesity presents. I do have very thick skin 😂. Thanks for your concern! #obesity

Diet brain: ❌ eat less ❌ move more ❌ if you aren’t losing weight it’s because you lack discipline. Work harder. BoPo brain: ✅ nutrient dense food ✅ the right types of movement in the right amount ✅ losing weight is about changing your lifestyle not deprivation! #weightloss

2017 me: all talk of weight loss is bad and predatory and evil and anyone who does it is wrong. <<Gains 70 lbs, now obese>> 2022 me: sorry for what I said back then, you can lose weight and still love your body. ✌🏼❤️ #weightlossjourney
