Truth: There are no secrets or hacks to healthiness or fitness
If you are on the couch and in pole position for gaming or passive television watching and are sick of being fat and unhealthy, follow this program. And read this simple article too.
Do not do anything different. Begin with those two easy-to-read (and follow) articles.
There are no secret formulas, tricks, shortcuts, or hacks. Getting fit requires effort.
The linked article on how to get fit provides no bio hacks nor bro science because there is no such thing as a fitness bio hack.
If you are reading this and know that you have gained weight and breathe heavily by the simple act of walking up a single flight of stairs, you are a candidate for adverse health risks.
It is time to move.
The aphorism, “move it or lose it” applies.
While you are at it, stop putting refined carbohydrates in your mouth, especially at night. Every single gram of refined carbohydrate you eat gets stored as fat if you do not burn it off with vigorous exercise. Pulling weeds and strolling are better than sitting on the couch, but are not enough.
Every single gram of stored refined carbohydrate (as fat) also causes you to retain 2.5 grams of water. Do the math, that’s 3.5 grams of weight gain each time you swallow during a three-hour broadcast of a football game, soap opera binge or gaming sesh.
Read these articles here, about eating much less in the way of refined carbohydrates.
A general diet full of nuts, beans, seeds, grains, fibre, fat, naturally occurring carbohydrates and healthy protein can be broad and flavourful.
Headlines that read like the following are essentially clickbait lies and are either fake or misleading. Stop reading this material now and stop watching bro science YouTube videos.

It is that simple. Find an exercise type that you prefer. Because you are here at a running-orientated website: Walking, then walk-running, then running is inexpensive and recommended. It is human’s primal superpower. It can be done anywhere and does not require memberships, or investments (unless you want to bling out — no need). The act is simple, portable and can be done anywhere. And frankly, excuses are useless.
You do not have to follow trends, run big city marathons or purchase expensive watches or download fitness apps. No machine or app knows more about how you feel on a walk or a run than you and the computer in your head. It is that simple. Just move.
