Consider Fasting, too Consider Fasting, too • “Obese Obese people and those desiring to lose people and those desiring to lose weight should perform hard work before food Meals should be taken after exertion food.

1. Eating protein at every meal. 2 F 2. Focusing on Quality and Quantity. But, and this is important, Quality is a sliding i Q lit dQ tit B t d thi i i t t Q lit i lidi scale. Forget perfection in eating meals. “This is better than this, sure” would be a common insight, but subbing “better” is often enough. Don’t worry that the bread you are eating has only 27 ancient grains versus 33 ancient grains. Or, even that you are eating bread Forget perfection you are eating bread. Forget perfection. 3. Perhaps, though, strive for perfection in one meal a week. Salmon with lemon and veggies sprinkled with herbs might be an idea. But, counter that with realistic “free” or “cheat” meals. Here’s an idea: for every cheat meal, try to have a perfect meal. Just an idea… 4. For strength training goals, these numbers stand the test for 21% bodyfat females. Three Pull Ups Three Dips Three Dips Five reps in the squat with 135 pounds Five reps in the deadlift with 135 pounds This is enough. GOMB.

In tests, some parts of women are 55% as strong as men (forearm extensors), but in the hip area it rises to 80%. • Strength peaks in the late twenties and maintains for a long time, and then gradually declines, especially in untrained populations. • It'ss easier to train in the summer, and • It easier to train in the summer and vitamin D is prolly the reason • Injecting Testosterone seemed to make everybody train better for a long time.
