The first thing everyone who joins TRP is prescribed is lifting, and it's the foundation of being high value in the SMP according to TRP.

What you need to build muscle.

But lifting is only half the equation. You are what you eat, and it's simply not enough to walk into the gym- you have to leave the big Macs and soda at the door.

Fitness is a 24/7 endeavor. It doesn't end once you walk out of the gym.

As a disclaimer, I'm not the content creator of this channel, but I can personally attest that both fasting and keto works while lifting heavy.

227 lbs, before keto and fasting

after 8 months, 175lbs.

With the sudden craze of fasting in media, it's important to get the right info and learn how to effectively utilize these tools to increase your SMV. Health is the most important part a strong SMV, and is the only thing you can't buy more of in life.

Good luck on your red pill journey.

Disclaimer

I'm not advocating a strictly ketogenic diet over a carbohydrate one. Carbs and fats are Ying and Yang and a healthy balance is key.

I only emphasize keto and fasting because your body's ability to produce and regulate hormones is entirely dependent on your body properly utilizing fats.

This post is not meant to demonize carbs and convert you into a keto-4-life acolyte. Keto is a tool that every man should familiarize themselves with. As always, TRP is about seeing the world as it is, not how want it to be. I'm only attempting to illuminate why modern men are struggling with T production.

What's interesting about metabolism is people view it as how much can I eat without getting fat? instead of how little food can I get away with and still handle business?

Obviously it wasn't the strongest or the smartest of our ancestors that survived, but the ones most adaptable to change.

I don't need to illustrate the competitive edge that a human who requires less calories over another who requires more would hold in the the SMP. In that scenario, who would have the higher overall SMV?

In any case, alot of the gymbros here don't understand that it doesn't matter how much you eat if your body cannot utilize the resources and just pisses them out. Obviously absorbing close to 100℅ of 80gs of protein is better than 50-60% from 200g.

Sadly this results in your body "forgetting" how to properly utilize healthy fats and healthy carbohydrates. What people consider a slow down in their metabolism is actually the body utilizing the calories more efficiently.

It's worth repeating. Instead of people thinking "how much can eat before I get fat" they should be asking themselves "how little food do I need while still remaining healthy and building muscle."

Obviously the caveman who can do more with less in terms of calories will eventually beat out the caveman who can't.

Prime you body's ability to utilize dietary fats efficiently.

Prime your body to utilize bodyfat when food is not available.

Prime your body to utilize healthy carbohydrates strategically.

Then proceed to cultivate the ability to switch seamlessly between the 3 stages.

Fix the leaks in your ship.
