Are you at or near the best physical / mental shape of your life? If so, what’s your job? After a grueling first year in banking, I realized that my physical and mental health are more important to me than salary / prestige. I want out and I want a job that allows me the freedom to focus on getting in the best shape of my life. Need some perspective on what opportunities are out there…

I can appreciate your view on improving yourself. There is typically diminishing marginal satisfaction with accumulating money. You are probably not going to get the same sense of satisfaction from your 5th million as you got from your 1st million.
No job is stress free but I work for myself and I work when I want to work, which happens to be most of the time. With that said, I do not have an MD texting me on Saturday afternoon nor would I want that kind of stress.
Am I in the best physical shape of my life? In some ways, yes, in in other ways, no. I am much older than the typical monkey so I probably can’t be in the same shape now compared to when I was younger. For the first time in my life, I have cuts in my body that I never had previously but I do not really know why other than attributing it to a very high protein diet. I also can grow facial hair reasonably well for the first time in my life. I am not entirely sure why other than being on a high protein diet and using retinol.
With that said, I would like to lose some weight just because it would probably is healthier to be lighter but it is not so easy to do for me. I think the high protein diet may be limiting my ability to lose weight. I don’t need to lose a lot but I would like to drop 10 pounds.
Losing weight is less related to protein consumption and more about having a calorie deficit. Protein can help body composition and adding muscle.
Also, to help burn more fat, drink as much water as you possibly can. You’ll feel better and it’s good for the mind and you’ll piss out fat.
A while back, a guy here said, you can’t outrun your fork and it is true. I eat too much after dinner.
excess protein turns into fat
Excess anything becomes fat. I’ve found eating 180g of protein regardless of my weight has been the sweet spot for me building / maintaining muscle and not starving if I’m cutting
Just curious - what do you do working for yourself?
So I'm in my early 20s, and I do feel like I got a long way to go.
I lost over 60lbs in 1 year. I was finally able to get down to 10% body fat but it's not maintainable so I hover around 14% body fat.
On average i work out 1.1hrs 6X a week. 4 days weight lifting + 2 days of full court basketball runs.
What I learned was that dieting is the hardest part... because we get craving and boom you're over your caloric amount by 500 calories.
Dieting + Training takes a lot of your time. For me it takes about 3-4 hrs a day... For any serious trainer on this forum, y'all would know why.
The benefit was, females love it, your confidence is shot up, you're happy in wearing whatever you want, and essentially you got great self esteem levels.
60 pounds is insane bro congrats. Also agree with the confidence boost and girls loving it. It (working out) can become an addiction because once you get in shape, you realize just how out of shape most people are
No and I have no reason other than being lazy. Granted my best shape was top 0.1% in the world but I have the time to get there if I tried
I drink way too much to be in shape.
