Practical Tips for Life & Business - by Ludvig Sunstrom
It’s 4 PM.
That means it’s time to hit the gym. I’ve been looking forward to this all day long.
I don’t need to get ready. I got ready an hour ago.
I am already wearing my gym clothes. I am prepared physically and mentally.
When I have these clothes on me, I feel like lifting heavy weights.Continue Reading…
So you want to get a six-pack? I did too, before I had one. In fact, it was somewhat of an obsession of mine, and I wasted a ton of time doing the wrong things at first.
Most guys want to have a six-pack, but few actually have one. The most common excuse is: “I don’t have the time”, but that’s bullshit. Let me tell you why.Continue Reading…
Recently there has sprung up a fad called the 5:2 Diet. The two-day fast is not to be confused with that.
About a month ago I was asked by a few people about this 5:2 Diet, and it sounded a lot like my own special fasting strategy.
But it wasn’t.
(2, 5, 12 = most important and least known by most people)
Certain businesses are built on the premise that the majority of the customers will not take full advantage of the service to which they are entitled. Netflix is an example of this; the whole structure of their value proposition is that you can view as many movies as you want per month for a fixed price. Of course few people have enough time on their hands to get a real good run for their money. They watch maybe 4-5 movies a months tops. Then we have the guy who has nothing to do but to watch movies – he is getting a reaallly good bang for his buck.
I am that guy, when it comes to buffets.Continue Reading…
I’ve experimented with a lot of supplements and diets, some of which i mention in my Ultramind Experiment.
My current supplement regimen consists of the following:Continue Reading…
In the previous parts 1 & 2 I covered the most popularly used types of IFing, and described the various benefits of doing so. This post is about my own brief commentary on IF and personal input on the subject.
My Routine
My personal IF routine that isn’t officially made famous as far as I know of – is as follows:
– Very much like the Leangains approach in terms of getting more calories from carbs on days of workouts, and more calories from healthy fats on rest days. I consume on average 2g of protein per kilo of bodyweight. (This amount can vary from person to person, different people have different genetic potential for successful assimilation of protein. Largely dependent on overall gut-related health. If you get gassy or bloated from your protein powder or from eating too much protein in general chances are you’re getting too much)
– Daily feeding gap of 8 hours and fasting period for 16 hours, with the exception of a 2-day fast (usually 48h) from sunday dinner to tuesday dinner, finished by a workout and massive meal. I always consume the majority of my calories post-workout.
Ok folks, my approach to this post is the same as in part 1– I’ll present the facts from the book Fast-5, written by Bert W. Herring M.D.
However, I will assume that you now understand the basics.
This book is slightly different because the message is targeted more toward “normal people”, and less toward people who’re into fitness and working out. There’s more of an emphasis on the diet and the process of fasting in this book, and it promotes a feeding gap 5 hours long from 5pm to 10pm followed by a fasting period of 19 hours until 5 pm again the next day.
(I have tried this approach of 5/19 vs the leangains approach of 8/16 and have noticed no major differences. However I find it easier to eat two really large meals with the leangains one because 5 hours isn’t quite enough time for me to get hungry again – I might as well just eat one large meal in that case.)
