We’re back at @WholeFoods to go over some quick and easy lunch options while dieting:

1️⃣ @Applegate grilled chicken fajita mix + pre-cut fajita veggie blend + @EggLifeFoods wrap / @MariaAndRicardos carb bueno wrap = delicious chicken fajita wrap

2️⃣ @CityPierSeafood grilled shrimp + premade salads (Sweet Kale or Asian Inspired are my favorites) – don’t use the dressing, use the sweet chili lime sauce from the shrimp = simple, high protein salad

3️⃣ @AmyLuFoods chicken burger + @DavesKillerBread buns = high fiber chicken burger

Short term, the best thing you can do to change your body is nutrition. Through proper nutrition you can lose fat and achieve an amazing transformation in a few short months.

Long term, you’re going to want to weight train if you want to look better with your clothes off.

You shouldn’t be focused on just burning calories at the gym.

Certainly there are times when you’ll want to do cardio, but you should be focusing on strength training. No, you will not end up jacked to the gills. This isn’t a science fiction movie. It takes years upon years to get that overly developed look that you may or may not find appealing.

Lifting weights will allow you to get that chiseled look on Instagram that everybody’s looking to obtain.

I enjoy a sweet treat before bed just as much as anybody else.

Here are 4️⃣ diet-friendly dessert options you should try:

1️⃣ @Oikos Triple Zero – try throwing this in the freezer for 15-minutes to get a texture similar to ice cream.

2️⃣ @Yasso Greek yogurt bars – my absolute favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough.

3️⃣ Frozen mixed berries – sprinkle some Stevia over the berries then pour some skim @Fairlife milk on top; don’t knock it til you try it.

4️⃣ @HaloTopCreamery – the peanut butter is by far my favorite.

Have you tried any of these?

@PeterAttiaMD’s grip strength test has been updated.

Initially, it was suggested on the @HubermanLab Podcast that men should be able to Farmer’s Carry their body weight for 2 minutes.

I gave it a try and managed only 70 seconds—definitely tough to achieve.

Now, Attia has revised the test, suggesting a 1-minute carry as the target for men. While still challenging, it’s important to remember that correlation doesn’t equal causation. Grip strength is linked to mortality, but like any test, practice can improve performance.

What do you think of this test? Have you tried it?

Cholesterol from food doesn’t directly enter our bloodstream.

This is due to how our bodies process and regulate cholesterol levels. When we consume cholesterol from food sources like eggs, shellfish, or meat, it first goes through digestion, where it’s broken down and packaged in a form that can be absorbed.

However, our bodies don’t automatically add this cholesterol to the bloodstream; instead, the liver tightly regulates cholesterol levels, producing more or less as needed. This means dietary cholesterol has a relatively modest impact on blood cholesterol levels for most people.

What does have a significant impact is saturated fat, which can increase LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol linked to plaque buildup in arteries. When saturated fat is consumed regularly, the liver releases more LDL cholesterol into the bloodstream, contributing to higher cholesterol levels over time. Saturated fat also has a direct impact on your A1C which is a test used to diagnose diabetes.

If this diet is further compounded with high intake of refined carbohydrates (like sugars and processed grains), it can further amplify cholesterol and triglyceride levels, creating a greater risk for heart disease and other metabolic issues.

By contrast, diets rich in unsaturated fats (like those in olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish) and high-fiber foods have been shown to help manage or even lower LDL cholesterol, which can support better heart health.
