The Misogi Challenge is an ancient Japanese ritual that involves doing something challenging once a year to define the year and help you become a better version of yourself.

if we KNOW what to do, but still cannot do it, usually there is an underlying emotional issue like stress or self esteem or depression that is holding us back from health. If you know what to do but just cant seem to do it, it may be good to find a therapist or coach or supportive mentor 🖤

Having such a low body fat percentage, and being able to sustain it for so long, is impressive. However, we should ask whether such an aim is even worthwhile, given that for many guys, having such low body fat starts to adversely effect testosterone levels and overall vitality. That seems like a lot to sacrifice for having an aesthetic edge. Granted, for some men, 8 percent does not negatively effect androgen levels or vigor, but for many it does. I think for most guys, staying between 10 to 13 percent, is far more sustainable. That percentage of body fat will not only preserve hormonal levels, maintain performance, and still keep you looking good as long as you amass a good amount of muscle for your frame, but it allows for some dietary discretion so that you can actually enjoy life.

Re fractal eating: I remember reading that the philosopher J Krishnamurti, recommended to “skip every seventh meal” to one of his students who wanted to lose weight. This nicely programs the fractal approach in a way that you won’t forget or duplicate days. And it gives your system six predictable meals.

I like the idea of an annual re-focus/goal setting for long term maintenence. I can see the psychological benefits.

I’m all about popcorn myself, and I’ve noticed since it’s become a staple in my diet , I’ve been dropping weight and seeing my body change like crazy. This dude knows what he’s talking about

I'm not sure about his fiber take but if you feel great than keep doing what you're doing.

This is doable, but everything is so personal. Finding the right combination is the key.
