figured I’d put something here to explain what I actually do day-to-day so folks know the kind of practical stuff we’ll be talking about.

My Current Routine

• Breakfast: Big shake that’s a mix between overnight steel-cut oats and Bryan Johnson’s nutty pudding, plus my NOVOS stack and a few extras.
• Supplements: I take a couple more NOVOS things after checking my phone.
• Strength: A few lifts with 25-lb weights (different variations) to strengthen my back — I learned my weak back muscles were causing more sweat → acne.
• Shower + skincare: PanOxyl on my back.
• Throughout the day: Sunscreen, staying fairly active.
• Night: Adapalene on my face and back.

I’m tall, a bit underweight, and fairly active, so the real challenge is eating enough food consistently — not exercise.

My Approach

I basically find the weakest link and improve it in a sustainable way. Most things I figure out by watching how my body and mind respond.
If I need precision, I’ll use a watch, scale, or blood tests.

What’s Next

• Add daily walks (short and consistent).
• Possibly use dog-walking apps — that way I get full-body movement and get paid.

Why This Matters

I’d been slowly sliding into a fog since middle school through college.
Taking my health seriously has felt like getting my superpowers back — clearer mind, more energy, better mood.
I wish more people felt this way. You’re your own greatest weapon in this world; better keep it sharp.

3 Tiny Things That Helped Me Stay Consistent

1. Make big calorie dense meals with variety you can prep the night before (so you don’t skip) and keep eating calorie dense foods and drinks throughout the day, I check what I'm doing occasionally with the app called cronometer.
2. Short, regular strength moves (5–10 minutes, same time every day) to build base muscle — consistency > intensity.
3. Pair a habit with a trigger: “put on shoes → 10-min walk” or “shake in blender → take morning supplements.”
   Small chains beat willpower.

Not to mention sleep, I thought I slept well until I started to really analyze what my sleep scores and habits were like and how I felt before during after sleeping.

My routine

1. Zero carbohydrate diet - No sugars, no glucose, no fructose, etc. In my reading diet is the foundation of health, most whole food diets will work, but zero-carb is the easiest for me to sustain.
2. Only eat once per day (but more if I'm hungry, which is rare because of 1)
3. Sleep routine - leave the blinds open, wake up with the sun, go to sleep when I'm tired.
4. No coffee/caffeine (which helps with sleep)
5. 3x week resistance training (1 hour with trainer)
6. Daily Sauna when I wake up (80c for 20m), then a cold shower (feels great). On gym days I sauna after the gym (which helps with recovery considerably)
7. StemEnhance (which increases stem cell release by 20%) as a daily supplement
8. Drink about 4-6L of water per day (I don't force myself, i just drink when thirsty)
9. Grounded anti-static mat as my computer/mouse mat (for grounding purposes, its easy so why not do it (I can't defend it otherwise)).
10. I take a electrolyte mix in the morning and afternoon (potassium, sodium, magnesium)

Special Circumstances

11. HPV vaccines
12. Take PReP if socially active

Feedback is important

13. Diet accountability buddy
14. quarterly metrics (fasting insulin, hba1c, lipids, etc)
15. Logging blood pressure, weight, resting pulse on the weekly

Things I don't do

16. No skin routine because of 1 and 6 (my skin looks great, I get compliments)
17. I avoid the high sun, but I don't use sunscreen (crazy I know, but because of 1 I avoid photo sensitizing food elements)

One meal per day on a carnivore diet? What do you eat that allows you to consume that much meat in one sitting? Or do you just happen to have very low caloric needs? Even with carbs, I can only manage 1000 Calories per meal if I force feed myself.

Carnivore is the popular term, but the more correct term is lipovore - mostly fat.

Here's an example of a meal: https://hackertalks.com/post/16308085

I just eat mostly fat, and protein, until I'm full and then I stop. And when I get hungry again I eat again. It just happens to be about once a day

As far as I'm aware, protein requirements don't change regardless of your diet, so it's the same amount of protein as you should be eating anyway, just more fat.

Consider The standard diet: one McDonald's Big Mac value meal can easily be 1500 calories. Calories have their use, but they shouldn't be the ultimate metric. It's really protein and fat

Well, you certainly have an impressive stomach. I'm full after three sausages (~600 Calories), and you're here eating at least three times as much.

Calories aren't the ultimate metric, but it is the foundation. If you don't eat enough Calories, you simply don't have the energy to be functional. There's no way around that. There's little point in trying to optimize everything else when you don't have the foundation.
