NON-NEGOTIABLE MINIMUMS you should be doing to ensure physical and mental wellbeing

[luuk]

It is apparent that many of you maintain awful habits with little consistency or discipline in your lives and are just here to whine, which is very much against the spirit of the site. A lot of us larp about massive pharmaceutical stacks and surgery but few have the courage and resources to follow through. So here I'm going to list out the bare minimum habits and practices you should maintain to ensure adequate physical and mental health and steady improvements with regard to looks. This is not some special, esoteric or advanced looks/mental maxxing guide, nor are any of the listed practices remotely difficult to consistently follow. A lot of this will be water but if there is a single point in this list that you are missing then you are quietly suffering as a result.

Physical

• Sleep 7-9 hrs per day as much as possible. Align sleep with your circadian rythm, maintain regular sleep/wake times. Aim for 5-15 minutes of sunlight in the morning for circadian regulation
• Minimise ultraprocessed foods in your diet, prioritise whole foods.
• Hit your macros and micros, aim for 1.6-2.2g protein/kg of body weight for optimal hypertrophy and function. Maintain a sufficient fibre intake: contrary to primalfag nonsense, fibre intake is proven to greatly reduce instances of colorectal cancer and heart disease, improves insulin sensitivity and improves gut health. Try to hit 30g+ a day if possible
• Keep a lean body composition, <20%bf minimum ideally <15%
• Hydrate properly- drink a minimum of 2L of water per day, ideally 3-5L. Replenish electrolytes after exercise
• Aim to walk 10000 steps a day. Replace parts of your commute with walking where possible, walk anywhere you can
• Work out at the gym (or a home gym) at LEAST 3 days a week. I recommend more (4-5) depending on your split but this is a sensible amount to ensure consistent gains and sufficient stimulus.
• Engage in some sort of cardio at least once a week. Could be running, swimming, HIIT, LISS, etc. This is often overlooked but has countless benefits.
• Stay off of hard drugs, minimise alcohol/weed/nicotine etc. Certain other chems like psychedelics, stims, AAS can be useful but exercise caution and moderation.
• Take care of your skin- use an appropriate cleanser and moisturiser for your skin type and any active ingredients if required. Use SPF consistently in summer especially in high-UV environments for skin protection and anti-aging.

Mental:

• Reduce your screen time to under 6 hours. This is a minimum; realistically you should try to get it under 4, 2 even, but 6 is a good start considering most of you are probably at 10hrs+ right now.
• Quit porn entirely (it is designed to addict, demoralise and subvert you), keep masturbation minimal (1-2x a week is optimal, any less and you might get overly sexually frustrated or experience flatlines in libido)
• Maintain proper hygeine and grooming- brush your teeth and shower daily no matter what, keep your hair and nails clean and groomed, shave regularly or style facial hair properly, wear clean, properly fitting clothes.
• Try to spend time in nature daily. You could incorporate it into your commute (e.g divert your root through a forest), walk your dog (if you have one) or just make a habit of going for a walk somewhere green in the mornings to stop yourself going insane and lower cortisol.
• Meditate daily. Not for spiritual reasons (unless you're into that) but to regulate your nervous system and promote mindfullness. 10 mins is all it takes.
• Meaningful, regular real-world social connection. Get out of your room, meet up with friends irl regularly, do your very best to make friends and talk to women* (*if you aren't totally subhuman. Even if you're an LTN get used to speaking to them).
• Try to achieve one hard task per day: make a list of things you need to do at the start of each day, highlight the one with the highest priority and ensure that no matter how the day goes, you achieve that one task.
• Have goals and dreams, work towards achieving them. Time-bound your goals and examine your progress periodically. If you're lost in nihilism/apathy and have no dreams, do some soulsearching, go out into the world for inspiration, try psychedelics if you're still without insights.
• Maintain a clean and orderly environment- a messy room is a depression nest, and letting tasks like laundry and cleaning pile up will only make things harder for you when you eventually have to deal with it, and shows how undisciplined and sloppy you are
• Journal and schedule- write down your thoughts regularly, plan and structure your days as much as possible

Aim to practice most of these and you pretty much can't be depressed or ugly if you aren't genetically cursed or super unfortunate in other aspects of your life. Even if you are genetically cursed you'll be better off than if you didn't.

É evidente que muitos de vocês mantêm hábitos terríveis, com pouca consistência ou disciplina, e estão aqui apenas para reclamar, o que vai totalmente contra o espírito do site. Muitos de nós fingimos usar grandes quantidades de medicamentos e fazer cirurgias, mas poucos têm a coragem e os recursos para realmente fazer isso. Então, aqui vou listar os hábitos e práticas mínimos que vocês devem manter para garantir uma saúde física e mental adequada e melhorias constantes na aparência. Este não é um guia especial, esotérico ou avançado para otimizar a aparência/mentalidade, e nenhuma das práticas listadas é remotamente difícil de seguir consistentemente. Grande parte disso será água, mas se houver um único ponto desta lista que você esteja ignorando, estará sofrendo silenciosamente por isso.

Físico

• Durma de 7 a 9 horas por dia, sempre que possível. Sincronize o sono com o seu ritmo circadiano, mantendo horários regulares para dormir e acordar. Procure tomar de 5 a 15 minutos de sol pela manhã para regular o seu ritmo circadiano .
• Minimize o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados na sua dieta e priorize os alimentos integrais.
• Atinja suas metas de macronutrientes e micronutrientes , buscando uma ingestão de 1,6 a 2,2 g de proteína por kg de peso corporal para hipertrofia e função ideais . Mantenha uma ingestão suficiente de fibras : ao contrário do que dizem os defensores da dieta primal, está comprovado que a ingestão de fibras reduz significativamente os casos de câncer colorretal e doenças cardíacas, melhora a sensibilidade à insulina e a saúde intestinal. Tente consumir mais de 30 g por dia, se possível .
• Mantenha uma composição corporal magra , com percentual de gordura corporal (<20%) no mínimo e idealmente <15%.
• Hidrate-se adequadamente : beba no mínimo 2 litros de água por dia, idealmente de 3 a 5 litros . Reponha os eletrólitos após o exercício.
• Tente dar 10.000 passos por dia . Substitua partes do seu trajeto diário por caminhadas sempre que possível e caminhe sempre que puder.
• Treine na academia (ou em casa) pelo menos 3 dias por semana . Recomendo mais (4 a 5), dependendo da sua divisão de treino, mas essa é uma quantidade razoável para garantir ganhos consistentes e estímulo suficiente.
• Pratique algum tipo de exercício cardiovascular pelo menos uma vez por semana. Pode ser corrida, natação, HIIT, LISS, etc. Isso é frequentemente negligenciado, mas traz inúmeros benefícios.
• Evite drogas pesadas , minimize o consumo de álcool, maconha, nicotina etc. Certas outras substâncias químicas, como psicodélicos, estimulantes e esteroides anabolizantes androgênicos, podem ser úteis, mas use com cautela e moderação.
• Cuide da sua pele : use um produto de limpeza e um hidratante adequados ao seu tipo de pele e, se necessário, inclua ingredientes ativos. Use protetor solar regularmente no verão, principalmente em ambientes com alta incidência de raios UV, para proteger a pele e prevenir o envelhecimento.

Mental:

• Reduza o tempo que você passa em frente às telas para menos de 6 horas . Este é o mínimo; o ideal seria tentar reduzir para menos de 4 horas, ou até mesmo 2, mas 6 horas é um bom começo, considerando que a maioria de vocês provavelmente passa mais de 10 horas em frente às telas atualmente.
• Abandone completamente a pornografia (ela é projetada para viciar, desmoralizar e subverter você), reduza a masturbação ao mínimo ( 1 a 2 vezes por semana é o ideal; menos do que isso pode causar frustração sexual excessiva ou queda na libido).
• Mantenha uma higiene e aparência adequadas : escove os dentes e tome banho diariamente, independentemente das circunstâncias; mantenha o cabelo e as unhas limpos e bem cuidados; faça a barba regularmente ou modele os pelos faciais adequadamente; use roupas limpas e que lhe sirvam bem.
• Procure passar algum tempo em contato com a natureza diariamente . Você pode incorporar isso ao seu trajeto diário (por exemplo, desviando sua rota por uma floresta), passear com seu cachorro (se tiver um) ou simplesmente criar o hábito de caminhar em algum lugar verde pela manhã para evitar o estresse e diminuir o cortisol.
• Medite diariamente . Não por motivos espirituais (a menos que você se interesse por isso), mas para regular seu sistema nervoso e promover a atenção plena. Dez minutos são suficientes.
• Conexões sociais significativas e regulares no mundo real. Saia do seu quarto, encontre-se com amigos pessoalmente com frequência, faça o possível para fazer amigos e converse com mulheres* (*se você não for totalmente subumano. Mesmo que você seja um LTN, acostume-se a falar com elas).
• Tente realizar uma tarefa difícil por dia : faça uma lista das coisas que precisa fazer no início de cada dia, destaque aquela que tem a maior prioridade e certifique-se de que, independentemente de como o dia correr, você conclua essa tarefa.
• Tenha metas e sonhos , e trabalhe para alcançá-los. Defina prazos para suas metas e examine seu progresso periodicamente. Se você estiver perdido em niilismo/apatia e não tiver sonhos, faça uma reflexão profunda, saia pelo mundo em busca de inspiração, experimente psicodélicos se ainda assim não tiver insights.
• Mantenha um ambiente limpo e organizado — um quarto bagunçado é um ninho de depressão, e deixar tarefas como lavar roupa e limpar acumularem só tornará as coisas mais difíceis quando você finalmente tiver que lidar com isso, além de mostrar o quão indisciplinado e desleixado você é.
• Diário e agenda - anote seus pensamentos regularmente, planeje e estruture seus dias o máximo possível.

Procure praticar a maioria dessas dicas e você praticamente não terá problemas para se sentir deprimido ou com aparência desagradável, a menos que tenha uma predisposição genética ou seja extremamente azarado em outros aspectos da sua vida. Mesmo que tenha uma predisposição genética, você estará em melhor situação do que se não a tivesse.

fibre

Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms - PubMed

Idiopathic constipation and its associated symptoms can be effectively reduced by stopping or even lowering the intake of dietary fiber.

leanness

Being too lean isn't good for health

Body stores fat in toxins

chems

Do I even need to explain

water

Dilutes stomach acid

lifting, cardio

Stress

These aren't good for your wellbeing. I'm not necessarily saying don't do those, if you wanna get muh muscles then sure

But doing these for wellbeing? Wrong. Retarded.

I agree, i just think that staying generally active while hitting macros and staying lean can achieve the same results, unless of course u have athletic goals in mind.
I also believe that avoiding high stress environments can make doing structured routines like medications pretty unnecessary

I said under 15 not 5%. Those primal apes you worship are probably like 12%
Give me the names of these 'toxins' you speak of or its psuedoscience
Chemicals can absolutely be useful, they come with tradeoffs that an individual must access for their own use case
'Water dilutes stomach acid' what the fuck are you talking about, the impact is minimal and the benefits of proper hydration far outweigh this, we're literally 60% water
Constant low stress is unnecessary, humans and our endocrine system literally evolved to utilise stress in short bursts to our advantage, not to mention the numerous health benefits of lifting/cardio. What is bad is constant elevated cortisol from high stress lifestyles, 'cortisol spikes' are actually fine its the baseline we should worry about

I also believe that avoiding high stress environments can make doing structured routines like medications pretty unnecessary

I mean if you're regularly exercising and using your muscles you might not need structured gym work/cardio but most people live sedentary lifestyles
'generally active' should mean like regularly playing sports or doing manual labour if not working out, not just walking to school/work or something

So here I'm going to list out the bare minimum habits and practices you should maintain to ensure adequate physical and mental health and steady improvements with regard to looks. This is not some special, esoteric or advanced looks/mental maxxing guide, nor are any of the listed practices remotely difficult to consistently follow. A lot of this will be water but if there is a single point in this list that you are missing then you are quietly suffering as a result.

Physical

• Sleep 7-9 hrs per day as much as possible. Align sleep with your circadian rythm, maintain regular sleep/wake times. Aim for 5-15 minutes of sunlight in the morning for circadian regulation
• Minimise ultraprocessed foods in your diet, prioritise whole foods.
• Hit your macros and micros, aim for 1.6-2.2g protein/kg of body weight for optimal hypertrophy and function. Maintain a sufficient fibre intake: contrary to primalfag nonsense, fibre intake is proven to greatly reduce instances of colorectal cancer and heart disease, improves insulin sensitivity and improves gut health. Try to hit 30g+ a day if possible
• Keep a lean body composition, <20%bf minimum ideally <15%
• Hydrate properly- drink a minimum of 2L of water per day, ideally 3-5L. Replenish electrolytes after exercise
• Aim to walk 10000 steps a day. Replace parts of your commute with walking where possible, walk anywhere you can
• Work out at the gym (or a home gym) at LEAST 3 days a week. I recommend more (4-5) depending on your split but this is a sensible amount to ensure consistent gains and sufficient stimulus.
• Engage in some sort of cardio at least once a week. Could be running, swimming, HIIT, LISS, etc. This is often overlooked but has countless benefits.
• Stay off of hard drugs, minimise alcohol/weed/nicotine etc. Certain other chems like psychedelics, stims, AAS can be useful but exercise caution and moderation.
• Take care of your skin- use an appropriate cleanser and moisturiser for your skin type and any active ingredients if required. Use SPF consistently in summer especially in high-UV environments for skin protection and anti-aging.

Mental:

• Reduce your screen time to under 6 hours. This is a minimum; realistically you should try to get it under 4, 2 even, but 6 is a good start considering most of you are probably at 10hrs+ right now.
• Quit porn entirely (it is designed to addict, demoralise and subvert you), keep masturbation minimal (1-2x a week is optimal, any less and you might get overly sexually frustrated or experience flatlines in libido)
• Maintain proper hygeine and grooming- brush your teeth and shower daily no matter what, keep your hair and nails clean and groomed, shave regularly or style facial hair properly, wear clean, properly fitting clothes.
• Try to spend time in nature daily. You could incorporate it into your commute (e.g divert your root through a forest), walk your dog (if you have one) or just make a habit of going for a walk somewhere green in the mornings to stop yourself going insane and lower cortisol.
• Meditate daily. Not for spiritual reasons (unless you're into that) but to regulate your nervous system and promote mindfullness. 10 mins is all it takes.
• Meaningful, regular real-world social connection. Get out of your room, meet up with friends irl regularly, do your very best to make friends and talk to women* (*if you aren't totally subhuman. Even if you're an LTN get used to speaking to them).
• Try to achieve one hard task per day: make a list of things you need to do at the start of each day, highlight the one with the highest priority and ensure that no matter how the day goes, you achieve that one task.
• Have goals and dreams, work towards achieving them. Time-bound your goals and examine your progress periodically. If you're lost in nihilism/apathy and have no dreams, do some soulsearching, go out into the world for inspiration, try psychedelics if you're still without insights.
• Maintain a clean and orderly environment- a messy room is a depression nest, and letting tasks like laundry and cleaning pile up will only make things harder for you when you eventually have to deal with it, and shows how undisciplined and sloppy you are
• Journal and schedule- write down your thoughts regularly, plan and structure your days as much as possible

Aim to practice most of these and you pretty much can't be depressed or ugly if you aren't genetically cursed or super unfortunate in other aspects of your life. Even if you are genetically cursed you'll be better off than if you didn't.

What are your thoughts on glp-1s? Just ordered reta today after struggling to diet. I plan to microdose and eventually ween off it. I don't like the idea of having to rely on it forever. Would rather build the healthy habits that come with it.

Very useful and effective drug, not a replacement for effort
Absolute use it to help you out but you need to build better long-term dietary habits alongside it

Yeah I semi regret placing the order. I am going to try for a couple of weeks, and if I can't get down at least 4 lbs its pinning time. I wouldn't take more 1 mg of it honestly, I don't know why people take such high doses of this shit.

Its more than fine to use it alongside your dieting just don’t use it to sustain bad habits or abuse stupid doses, 1-2mg seems to be enough for most people from what I’ve seen
