Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥩 Why I eat steak:

This is why I eat a lot of steak.

🏭 What is "plant-based":

Food advertised as “plant-based” is made in an industrial plant so that is indeed accurate.

However, "plant-based" is mostly a ploy to sell expensive junk to gullible consumers.

⚖️ What is not the same:

Last week I talked about how Americans in the southeast are dying 20 years earlier than people in other parts of the country.  

This reduction in life expectancy is strongly correlated with obesity. And obesity is strongly correlated with seed oils.

I mention this, because the week prior, I posted a video on how and why I intentionally gained over 20 lbs of fat.

Not all fat gain is the same.

I gained 20+ lbs of fat on beef, eggs, and milk.

My metabolism was revved. I had high energy. And the subsequent fat loss was easy.

Most people with 20+ lbs of excess fat have depressed metabolisms, low energy, and a hard time losing fat.

Why?

It goes back to seed oils and the kind of fat that caused the fat gain. 

Seed oils are high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFA), whereas my diet of beef, milk, and eggs is very low in PUFA and high in saturated fats (SFA). 

A diet high in PUFA or high in SFA can both cause fat gain, but the metabolic impact is completely different.

💡How to sharpen the pencil:

Many people stop learning, growing, and trying because they are afraid to look bad. But the scars and bruises are the price of progress.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

“When a man can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.” 

– Viktor Frankl

💰 Are you happy when it goes down:

In 2018 something strange happened. 

Bitcoin crashed from $20,000 to $3,200. 

But that's not the strange part.

It has a history of massive dumps.

The weird thing is that every time it does I get excited. It's like a fire sale for my favorite asset.

If you’re unable to hold your position it’s because you lack conviction in your investment. Close it out and allocate elsewhere until you’re smiling at shakeouts.

You know you have a winner when you're happy it goes up and down.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How old are you:

Which generation are you in, and what does it mean? 

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
