no no you'll top it all right we'll see man let's get started man keto diet yeah so i don't know much about it but i was researching you seems like you've been on it for nine years now right about eight years it's going on now okay yeah what's that been like that shift for you it's been fantastic for me it's not for everyone i'm not one of these guys who's like an evangelist who's telling everyone they need to do keto yeah um everyone's different you know some people can eat a peanut and die you know know what I'm saying? So I'm not going to say that one thing is for everyone. Yeah. But for me, it's just been incredible, man. Like, I started the ketogenic diet because my cholesterol was high.

Right? And it's a genetic predisposition. A lot of people in my family have high cholesterol. So it was genetic. And they were trying to put me on statins. What is that? These are, like, pills that lower your your cholesterol but they have crazy side effects it's terrible for you jesus the side effect uh low testosterone all types of stuff right and but i i had been a

nutritionist for like you know almost 20 years okay uh personal training nutritionist and i was like what if I try to do it naturally and I remember I talked to this dude a long time ago named Jimmy Moore mmm and he was a big keto advocate and I said you know it let me look into this more and I realized that there was a lot of studies that showing the key to Jenk that actually improves people's cholesterol mmm a lot a lot of people not everyone yeah some people's cholesterol goes way off the charts right this is not some for everyone i'm not trying to push this on no one so all you

all you guys can just put your axes down put your spears down i'm not trying to push this on anybody he just asked me a question these people they hate it bro they hate it people hate keto yeah speaking of hating you but but but the first month i was on it my cholesterol went down okay 100 points i said i didn't need to be on it but i felt better i had more energy i mean initially it sucked but the first two weeks but then i got past that okay i knew that was gonna happen and then i had more energy man like i didn't need as much sleep my skin was clear you know and I was more ripped because you know you lose a lot of water weight when you're on a ketogenic diet so like I had

the appearance of being more ripped okay shredded and I felt great so I said just stay on it and then I've just been it's been eight years later so what exactly is ketosis because I've seen that online yeah so the ketosis basically when you so when you're on a standard uh Western diet standard American diet you're consuming carbohydrates right and those carbohydrates convert to glue to glucose yeah and and um that glucose is the energy source that your body uses right glucose or glycogen in the absence of glucose right if you're not eating carbohydrates your body's not going to have a lot of uh glucose there's going to be some but not enough to run so in the absence of glucose your pancreas secretes um i'm sorry and your liver secretes something called ketones and these ketones

become your new fuel source right so now you're you're using the fat that you eat and fat in your body for fuel as opposed to uh glucose as opposed to running on carbohydrates and there's some advantages to that for some people right now for everyone for some people calm down dorks they're gonna get all crazy about it you know but listen it's um you know because when your glucose levels go above 110 your blood glucose level 110 your pancreas secretes a hormone called insulin. And insulin's job is to get rid of the excess glucose, right? So you can function. The problem is it does it kind of indiscriminately.

And this is why people get tired after they eat a big meal. Are you someone that doesn't have life insurance? Why leave anything up to chance in a worst-case scenario?

You know what else ever happened to you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, not me. Really? Yeah,

nah, I eat a big meal and I'm chilling. Even when you go to like a buffet? I mean, if I, if I overdo it, right? If I like, if I go there, like it's like, like it's a challenge. Yeah. But, um, nah, not tired after I eat lunch or a big meal or anything because I don't have that insulin spike. Yeah. And I saw you just took testosterone for a year. Yeah, it's been two years now. Oh, you're on two years? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I started when I was 38. I went on testosterone just because, you know, my levels were low and I just you know I want to be the best I can be right you know I'm trying to optimize I was I was healthy like I could have lived right but I wanted to be the best I can be yeah I gotta say man I got it from a doctor's it's TRT I get it from um T um T Clinics USA in um Tampa Florida. I got to say, dude, I took a blood test and my testosterone was low. This was like a year ago. And I used to get sick a lot. So I was like, all right, let me raise this.

I haven't been sick since. Like one time. Just from having good testosterone. Yeah, I haven't been sick in six years. Yeah, it's crazy. When everybody was getting, I don't know if you can say it on this, but in New York, I was walking around like I am legend. Like I ain't getting nothing.

My girlfriend had this three times. You never got it. Never got. I was kissing her in the mouth plate, having unprotected. And I get I get I didn't get you once. I didn't even test positive. The only time I test positive, my son had it. He's five and he sneezed in my mouth.

I was laughing at something he did and he sneezed in my mouth. And I didn't even know I had it. But his mom tested him. He tested positive. I was asymptomatic. I tested positive, but I was asymptomatic. That's after the fourth close encounter. I got a question.

How did he sneeze in your mouth? He was doing something silly. We were like playing around. And I was like tickling him. He's five, right? Okay. And I was doing something silly. We were like playing around. And like I was like tickling him. He's five, right? Okay. And I was tickling him and we were like messing around. And I was laughing at something he did.

And then at the same time, he sneezed. And it went right in my mouth. Oh, my gosh. What are the odds of that? Yeah, like me and him, we like wrestle and get crazy. Yeah. I love how real you are, man. One of the things I saw you do is you write down your haters. Yeah. you do that the list of hate man so okay this is this is this is this is

it's gonna blow your mind yeah this might this might be worth the cost of a mission right sometimes you know people say how do i get motivated or how do i get um you know how do i really go after it and what i suggest they do if you have an issue with motivation at all, is just make a list of all the people who've hated on you. Like, you know, people said you couldn't do it. People talk shit about you. People laugh at you. Girls who cheated on you, left you. You know what I'm saying?

Whatever. Put it on your phone, your notes. You know, and then look at that every time you you don't feel like doing what you're supposed to do or start your day off with it if you're if you're a crazy person like me and start your day off like that what it's gonna do is gonna push you right because you know you can't legally punish them right without going to prison but don't but the the best revenge according to spring sinatra the best revenge is massive success right so like i want them to look back at i want them to look back at, I want them to look back at it.

Like I shouldn't have been out here hating, you know, cause I could have been, I could have been involved in this success. Has a past hater ever reached out to you and apologized? Oh yeah. It happens. And you forgave him. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I'm not out here. You know, they know not what they do. So like, it's no big deal. Some of them I became cool with later, you know, a lot what they do but so like it's no big deal some of them I became cool with later you know a lot of times man people who hate on me they end up like I'm doing something like this one guy he was hating talking crazy about me on YouTube he called me a they see you know this is a heart attack you almost do nothing it's just you know cuz I'm nice to everybody. I'm friendly to everybody. I treat everybody with respect.

You know, homeless people, junkies, everyone, janitors. You know, I show everybody love. And if you hate on me, it's probably just a reflection of, like, a lot of, like, wild shit going on. Yeah, it's always projection. Yeah, it's projection, right? So, you know, that negative energy, that negativity is gonna he's gonna have ramifications it's gonna manifest itself in other ways sometimes it's hell sometimes it's just you know you can't you can't I never met a successful hater

you know yeah but the list of hate what it does is it takes this negative energy and transmutes it and now you use it to deploy against your goals so it makes you invincible right because right in like this thing that was negative somebody hating on you you turn it into positive by using it to propel you towards your your goals you know some methodology you don't let it get to your head the haters on social media oh no no it's like it's like i said i'm invincible right it makes it like oh man it's um all right well i'm gonna give him something to hate on yeah it motivates me it makes me it gets me excited why do you recommend people have five bank accounts oh man because okay so my dad is a funny story well it's not a funny story not funny at all so i grew up kind of like poor on the south side of chicago and my you know uh

my dad he lived with us but i didn't see him a lot because he was out grinding trying to build his business but he was didn't make a lot of money okay excuse me and then i got sent away to military school because i got in you know a little bit of trouble you know and for high school but but when i was in high school that's when it started taking off. I'm like 15. So this is like 16, 17 years of him grinding at the same thing. Finally started working

in like 15 years later. And by the time I graduated from high school, he was making $3 million a year. Damn. He had an insurance claim business, but he was focusing on the sales yeah and he hired people to do all the other stuff he just he did the sales and um adjusted for inflation that's eight million dollars a year yeah today's money okay sounds great i didn't

experience any of it because remember i was going away at military school then i went to college okay by the time i graduated from college he lost all the money he was broke so i kind of like missed the whole boat what happened right he just you know it's weird making money and managing money at two different skill sets right right sometimes like a lot of times people will get become successful and they stop doing the things that got them successful right they start indulging in their success the fruits of their labor so they start though whether it's nightlife alcohol gambling you know um he didn't have a problem with that his main problem was gambling and just being like it seemed like he was out a lot you know like he was just indulging gambling is a big problem yeah yeah i mean we were in vegas i already know and um and he just started indulging he took his foot off he took his eyes off the prize And he was broke and then he committed

Oh 07 so a few years after he went broke He committed Yeah you know so like But I saw him come up You know and I didn't experience Anyone but by the time he Back to basics you know back to

Like basically all I knew was poverty and um but the five bank account strategy i call it nba accounting so you have one one bank account where all your money all your income sources you get to deposit in here you don't have no no debit card associated no automatic payments nothing it's just to collect the money okay and then on whatever interval that you feel like it's appropriate uh you could do it every day if you want or you can do it every week you you you take percentages and put them in each bank account right so you put 50 into what i call the the war chest and this is money that you use only to make more money okay like investments right you know so you're basically saving and or investing 50 of your money right if you do

that you can never go broke like my dad right and then and then you live off 30 of your income this is what i do so i suggest and i teach my students right seven you live off 33 of your income people like oh i can't do that you gotta got to make more money, man. It's time to get to work, you know, time to get to work, baby. And you're living off 30% of your income, right? How can you go broke?

You can't, and then you divide the other accounts into one for taxes, right? It depends on your state and whatever your tax bracket is. And the other one for, and then the rest for, I take 5% of my income and I buy like jewelry, designer clothes, whatever your tax bracket is and the other one for and then the rest for uh i i think five percent

of my income and i buy like jewelry designer clothes you know watches you know like but it's only five percent of my income it's nothing yeah exactly you can never go broke doing that i call it nba accounting never never broke again how did you learn that uh i kind of developed it it was based off of i read a book and i met the author uh it's a book called um profit first because the first year i made a million dollars i looked at my bank account and i was like the money and then i read profit first i was like oh i need to change it so it's based off his his protocol but i altered it a little bit uh for me you know nice and people can alter mine if they want to or you can read the book and yeah go straight to the source material speaking of books i love your book strategy you

read two books a week for the past 10 years yeah i mean i mean honestly it's probably been longer than that jesus so much knowledge but i like how you do it while you're working out right yeah so one thing i do is i get the kin if you got an ipad you get the ipad or iphone to do it too you get the iPad or iPhone to do it so you get the Kindle app right you get the Kindle app and if you get the Kindle app if you get the Kindle book and the audiobook mmm it'll read the book to you so you get audible yes you get to get both right so one thing I like to do is is i'll like for example reading the book you see what i'm saying yeah what speed do you do so i do that while i'm working out i'm doing cardio in the morning but also i also took a speed reading course when i was oh nice like 23 20 22 23 and that really upped my my reading speed a

lot so i can read faster than that but sometimes it's um not while i'm working out right so i keep i like to read on the kindle or i have a book with me at all times for like during when most people are like yes searching social media i'll just break the book out like i was shopping with my girl today and i was like all right babe you go do your thing and i just broke out dude you're always learning i love it yeah man you gotta come up the more you learn the more you sperm the more you earn the more you earn yeah you know same same thing something man that's over 100 books a year for over 10 years dude yeah man you you get some you get some knowledge man you know some knowledge that's insane knowledge yeah i mean what's been the top like five or ten books that changed your life um so I gotta go with uh first of all if I'm gonna say relentless by Tim Grover I have a tattoo

here wow that's how good it was he got a tattoo yeah well you know it's like you there was a time in my life where I was working real hard people called me like a workaholic yeah and I was listening to people around me you gotta have fun you gotta enjoy life you gotta they're saying i just work too hard and i was like man maybe something's wrong because i like want to do this right maybe and i read this book and he and you know tim grover trained jordan kobe uh dwayne wade um and a bunch of other like high level stars yeah and his his book wasn't about training it was about the mindset of like these like Elite Champions right and I thought oh wait a minute and what I'm doing is right for what my goals are you get what I'm saying and it gave me permission to

just kind of be myself and then I realized that you know this whole enjoying life thing when people say that they kind of mean recreation or hedonism and there's nothing wrong with that but if that's the only way you can find joy then you only get little pockets of joy right because you can't get drunk go to parties and go on vacations every day right but if you can find joy in pushing yourself find joy in seeing what you're made of find joy and actually working hard if you can find joy in it then you can have joy every day like I'm just as happy in front of my computer all day working as somebody on vacation on the beach right the difference is I can do it every day and they can't so you know they just gave me permission to embrace that yeah I made a lot more money as a result you know yeah so i would say that book awaken the

giant within i read it when i was 17 that really tony robbins yeah that really changed my life my main takeaway from that was state control like learning how to control your emotions i guess before i read that i thought things happen to you and you respond emotionally but then i realized oh wait a minute you can feel whatever emotion you want to feel regardless of circumstances and that was you know I've had a lot of opportunities in my life to put that to the test um and I mean like your father committed some you know not to say I was happy and smiling and but I was able to bounce back a lot faster as a result of reading that book. Rich Dad Poor Dad was a big impact on me.

My real expensive stuff like this. Is that a Richard? This is passive income. That's the 5%? No, it wasn't 5%. This was just straight passive income. It was a little more than 5%. I'm going to be honest with you.

It was made from money I made in in stock market oh nice so i just it's cool i can do that again next year if i wanted to yeah you know um get buy one of these every year uh you know so that was s3 yeah then there's um the encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding by arnold schwarzenegger that's probably the best fitness book really yeah he was all natural right no no no no but his advice is still solid okay um and i was arnold and then uh number five i'm gonna go with oh uh how to win friends and influence people that's a great one it's incredible yeah so as you sound like you will you will read i'm an audiobook guy but i'm gonna start using your strategy yo because it's like you're immersed

in it yeah you can't it's difficult to lose focus if you're reading because it's multiple senses yeah you know because i try doing it while you're reading because it's multiple senses yeah you know because i try doing it while i'm working and it doesn't really work so i'm gonna try doing it while i'm working out yeah especially if you're doing cardio because cardio is boring yeah so that's perfect i either do that or i play video games on do cardio yeah because video games are mindless tasks yeah that's the only time i play video games that's a cheat code for it and you guys listening you want to get in shape only play video games while you're doing so i got a switch or i play um my ipad call of duty mobile okay i'm dropping nukes on the

haters all right while i'm while i'm um getting ripped okay so you play video games but you also talk about the importance of balancing dopamine levels ah yeah this is the new one that i've been really trying to talk about um it's super important man i think that cheap dopamine is a way to is really robbing a lot of people of their ambition you know because dopamine is responsible for your ambition your motivation your drive right however when you spike dopamine the more you spike dopamine like the crazy spikes what happens is you have a what's called an available pool of dopamine in your body on a neurological level and when you have a big spike you use that you use up the dopamine in that pool so then after that spike you drop below baseline right and it takes a little while for

your body to replenish right so when but if you're doing things like stacking dope and dope uh dopamine uh spiking activities like let's say somebody goes out they're in vegas right they go out they go out uh to a club let's say they do some yeah right let's say they get some drinks or say they they they have somebody they just meet one night stand right all these things are going to really spike your dopamine high. The next day, you're going to be out of dopamine. Your body's going to have to take time to replenish it. Right. And that's why you see some of the people I know who are the most unhappy are the people who, like, go out every night.

Always. Go out the most, right? You notice that? And it gets to the point where, like, that going out doesn't even make them happy because they don't have enough dopamine in their reserves to feel. Wow. You have to let it replenish. But what's more the worst part about that is you need dopamine and drive to attack your goals if you're wasting it all on like cheap thrills yeah then you know even if it's just like social media or stuff like that then it's like you don't have enough to deploy against your goals

i love that man yes the i i i'm careful about how often i do cardio with it because after i learned this right oh but i hate cardio so like i try to do something to make it more fun sometimes yeah yeah but i'm careful about the amount. Wait, so cardio releases dopamine? I mean, if you like it. I fucking can. I didn't know that because I love playing basketball, so I'm probably releasing it. Basketball is dope, yeah.

And that's cool. It's like the more natural the thing is, the better. Right. Right? So there's some things that like if you play basketball that that's that's probably fine yeah you you you know you might need a rest after but it's fine you know there's things that will raise your baseline or help you replenish it sleep getting enough sleep funny enough that uh cold exposure like cryotherapy or cold plunge

doubles your baseline really uh for a few hours your baseline levels of dopamine without a substance a subsequent crash so if you do that after then it offsets it yeah yeah all right there you have it guys that that's that's the part of it that's like can be dangerous I stopped doing it yeah yeah no for real like it can really rob you of your ambition yeah people get addicted to it it's like terrible they get depressed honestly yeah they get depressed because they're using up all their dopamine their body doesn't have enough time to replenish it yeah yeah that's so fact everyone i know that with hella girls like they're honestly not that happy they're not happy man and i know i lived

that life you know at one point in my life and it gets it gets boring and it's in and it's an empty victory you're spending all this time doing it you know chasing girls or like going out to meet girls or yeah having a roster and you know energy such a waste of time it's just an empty victory you know especially you can be deploying all that energy against some some like a bigger goal i think man i think you know when i was when i was real little i saw a movie called casino royale i've heard of it uh it's james bond movie with um the last guy was james bond uh uh the one that just left yeah it was his first one okay and it was a scene where he was sleeping with like this

villain's wife he was about to sleep with his villain's wife but he got a call and he said yo they said yo the villain's at the airport and he left she was like ready to he left her and i remember being 17 thinking i couldn't have did that i would have been like i'd have been like yo can we get him tomorrow but he left there and went and got the villain uh i could do it now right i think that it just shows i don't know i think you can judge a man on the not what he not the not the indulgence but you can say no to like that's how tough he is right like how how hardcore is he gay what what can he say no to wow some guys can't say can't control the amount of food they put in their mouth right at all but so imagine

imagine when you get successful right when you and you have like it's more there's more temptations at like a high level a lot more trying to accomplish stuff right hella man girls and your dm's probably all done oh man you know like I got a million followers you know I'm saying during designer clothes all the time because the bases you know like it you know I'm pretty good pretty good shape yes it's like I mean imagine what I got it what I say no yeah I can't even imagine like but that those guys would get wrapped up in that oh for sure i think more young guys should pride themselves on being able to to um abstain from from from hedonism yeah you know what i'm saying because that that's that's those are the

real bad asses yeah no for sure i respect those guys way more yeah yeah and i think those guys respect themselves more yeah you get i'm saying i think those guys respect themselves more like i know there's a big push for guys to have a now every guy wants to have a harem of women and like and like but yo the four right it's not worth it it's not worth it it's a it's a pain i respect the guy who can say no to to the pleasures that most guys can yeah you've interviewed some beasts man i was checking out your youtube what did you learn from uh grant cardone oh cardone you know it's it's funny you know what i learned from cardon is he's still learning even though he's a like billionaire he's still looking for information from people above him really you know like he was telling me he was on he was on a call with uh elon

musk no way trying to learn and he said he wasn't saying nothing even when elon said something he didn't agree with he was taking into account right and i was like okay yeah it never it never ends it never ends the the learning you you never want to feel like you got it, like you just know everything. Yeah. And for me, like I've learned some things from people younger than me, less successful than me. Like this one kid I mentor, his name's Splashman,

and I've been mentoring him since he was like 16. And he's like, his business is doing a million dollars now. He's like 23, 24. Wow. Yeah, and he put me his his business is doing a million dollars now he's like 23 24 wow yeah and um he he put me on the stuff sometimes like like when tiktok was blowing up he was like you should try this tiktok thing like all right and then i started tiktok and we started running ads and they were some of our most profitable ads on tiktok yes yeah at one point they were yeah that's dope yeah i get your ads daily bro like. Nice. You crush it with those.

We trying. Yeah. Talk to me about, we didn't even dive into the business side of things, but yeah. Talk to me about how you grew that empire. It started off, man, me just trying to, you know, after my father killed himself, I was, I figured, man, I need to make some money. So I just started working more. You know, I started training. I

was living in New York and and queens so i wake up at four take the train to harlem train people in the morning uh and then i would take this i would shower at the gym take the train downtown to soho and i was security guard at the product store i was a bad security guard i didn't keep anything i didn't guard anything or keep anyone secure right but uh but they paid me and i was there for eight hours a day and then i would work for a moving company after that holy five days a week and then on saturdays and sundays i would train people in the morning and then manage my boys restaurant in queens a barbecue restaurant and i did that for like two years holy crap because

i'm gonna follow if i had to take care of the family yeah i had to take care of my mom my my my sister her kids grandma and you know i just feel like there's a lot of weight on my shoulders at 24. yeah to be like the man in the family and uh you know i just rose to the occasion i just worked more i just worked you know this is 12 14 hours a day seven days a week for two years and it was during i had a college degree the reason i had to get those blue collar jobs is because it was during the economic recession oh wait wait yeah oh seven oh wait about time and it was people with master's degrees working at starbucks like yeah seriously seriously bad you remember that you looked too young i was in fourth grade i remember okay but um it was it was intense and but i made i made six figures both years okay you know what i'm saying because just just working that's something i'd be i'm trying to tell a lot of young people

right young guys especially if you don't have a lot of kids if you don't have a bunch of kids or something yo just work more right now especially in your 20s when young work more because that can really set you up you know you there's 180 i'm 168 hours in every week you should be working like 80 hours a week man it's because that's when you have the the vigor and the energy to do so and you don't have the responsibilities you know you don't have a bunch of kids you know you just really focus man go hard stack money and you can deploy that money against your goals and really build something special love that that's something because i did because i i wanted to go online after that i was like how do i take i had the idea to take my business online and i didn't know how to do it um so i had to like kind of i was in those first class of people who started on my train I don't say I invented it

but I was you were early hi sir class of all my trainers and because it didn't exist before it for us it's like ten years ago right yeah like longer than that man is like it was like oh nine twenty ten you know you were heller and that's when I started YouTube yeah that's how I used YouTube to advertise it and then I was able to build that up slowly into a seven-figure business you know and and then i started managing a lot of other influencers like so i would start running their business and they would just make videos but i would build their websites uh run the ads do the customer service help them put together their programs just i would handle all the business stuff for i did that for a lot of different

influencers smart and then i got to the point where um I didn't want to work with influencers anymore because they was like babies they don't work as hard as now they just wanted a lot of these guys wanted to be famous instead of wanting to make money yeah you know I'd rather make money yeah yeah yeah because you people can't give you there's nothing wrong making money like people you can't make money actually people have to give it to you and the only way to give it to you in exchange for a product or service that they feel like is equal greater value right so you got to get value to get money right so if you're not making money you're not making value you're not giving value exactly so anyway they were more concerned about being famous. And it was it just felt like I was a babysitter a little bit.

So I shut that part of the business down and I started teaching people, other trainers, how to start their own business. And that business kind of blew up because there's a lot of people who a lot of trainers who were really excited to learn how to do this. Because when you take your business online, you can you can actually train more people charge them less and a lot of times get better results than in-person training really well the way we teach it okay you can't out train a bad what a bad person diet oh yeah like that's the most important part but the in-person trainer they give you some tips yeah but he's getting paid for the hour right he's actually incentivized for you not oh so he clocks out yeah he clocks out man when you you know he's only with you for an hour yeah all right what are you

gonna do the other 23 hours right you start eating nachos and cheese and cakes and candies it doesn't matter what you did in the gym right so what I had developed was a system where i can track my my client's diet with them so i can see in real time what they're eating everything and it was it was like archaic initially but now we have it kind of dialed in and i teach that to my my students and they're able to help their clients with their diets remotely and monitor it every day to make sure they're hitting their macros make sure they're hitting their calories yeah and they get as a result they get way better

results so diets like 80% of it oh man it's way more like I've trained people who were like obese yeah and we didn't have them working out at all really where's their obese man what I'm telling my if you wait 300 pounds like seriously you guys wait guy came in waiting 300 pounds i'm like hey man run a mile today like it would up his joints like it would probably do more harm than good wow so like the first thing we did was just put him on a diet and he started losing they started losing weight fast then when they get to a weight where they can like manage it better they start feeling better have more energy then we start incorporating exercise wow yeah but yeah that's way way more important you know like even for me like right now like

I'm 40 yeah right and so like I keep I keep I've been doing this for like what is that almost 10 years yeah I keep a scale in my bag a food scale I weigh everything I eat are you serious yeah how do you go out to restaurants I yo man I put on the plate no way I put out right on the rest I was doing that shit in nice restaurants here. I was at Samba last night weighing this. Are you serious? But how much does it actually matter? Oh, I mean, listen, it's all math.

Losing weight is math, right? Let's say you want to lose a pound a week. A pound of fat is 3,500 calories. You got to burn 3,500 calories to burn a pound of fat. How much fat you want to lose? All you got to do is burn more calories you consume each day right so if i burn if i burn an extra 500 calories eat every day i'll lose a pound a week yeah if i want to lose more than that but how do you know how do you know if you don't measure it like this is extreme

i do this and i use this aura ring to track how many calories i've earned really so i just do the math how much do you burn a day right now? I'll tell you right now how much I burn a day. My resting metabolic rate is 2,000. Okay. Which is high, right? Yeah, that's good. I can look at you and see you have a high metabolism. But I'm not guessing at all.

Right? Yeah, because life is just math. Today I burnt 2,400 calories and I I track it every day wow and if I want to cut I just make sure that I can I burn more than I consume and it's just mad so you skip a lot of meals I don't skip meals like I used to do intermittent fasting I did it for like years but when I went keto I felt like i didn't i didn't need that because the food's so healthy it's yeah i just felt i felt good on keto man but you don't need to do keto to get in good shape

honestly just burn more calories you consume if you want to lose fat then you get enough protein and you know just i mean you don't have to be as strict as me unless you want to look like me you know what i'm saying like so people before even before i went on testosterone people were saying i'm on steroids yeah but that's because they never met someone who tracked every meal right who kept a scale on them at all times you weren't on steroids no i didn't start testosterone until i was 38 wow yeah i mean i only weighed like 200 pounds you know it's not like i wasn't like bodybuilder size yeah man what's next for you where can people find out more about you and what you're doing

um man you know you can find me i mean on on instagram king keto uh youtube you search my name it's the one with a million subscribers only a million and uh i have a free course on people for people who want to learn how to make more money it's legit free like there's no like funnel where i'm gonna get you to buy anything else there's nothing you can buy even in the course it's legit free it's called a baller mindset the reason i put that out man was because i met like i don't know i met a discouraging amount of young men who tell me they're broke and and a lot of them were like uh you know a lot of them were like black or different minorities and i and that kind of bothers me a little bit because i was raised by people who went through the civil rights movement right so that stuff was like kind of in my head yeah i just they tell me how much how they fought got marlowe's king was getting his ass kicked every weekend not for you to sit around being broke dork you know i'm saying not for you

to sit around off and playing video games that was a dream dumb right and but maybe they don't have the financial education right maybe it's not all their fault maybe they didn't get the right financial education or how to really deploy their their resources and their time and energy towards the acquisition of capital so i was like all right let me put that together for free you know i'm saying just for free you know it's called balder mindset you go balder mindset.com i'll plug it in the link man in the description man thank you brother all right guys that was a blast thanks for watching i'll see you guys next time.
