Why it matters

Author @fastrlife claims fewer than 5% of people have ever truly seen what they are 'supposed to look like.'

Key details

  • Living 'properly' per the author includes: 10% body fat for men (18% for women); 10,000 steps per day; fasting, resistance lifting, sunlight, heat and cold exposure; 8 hours of sleep nightly; and eating whole foods you must chew.
  • The mirror shows your 'basement'—your present appearance reflects the last 5 years of habits—and the author argues that completely changing lifestyle will produce dramatic, better physical change.

What’s really crazy?

Idk if even 5% of people have ever truly seen what they are supposed to look like…

When you’re living properly:

  • 10% body fat for men (18% for women)
  • 10,000 steps a day/year
  • Fasting/lifting/sunlight/heat/cold
  • 8 hours of sleep every night/year
  • Food you actually have to chew

Only then will you see how you’re supposed to look…

The mirror isn’t showing you guys your genetic ceiling right now;

That’s the basement.

What you see now is what you’ve done the last 5 years…

Change the lifestyle completely;

You will change dramatically (for the better).
