Background

My background – you can skip this section easily, but I wanted to frame my thesis here with some background understood about me

When I lost 175 pounds over 3 years, I went DEEEEEEEP into learning things. I am not just a student that sat in front of the class. Rather, I usually sat in the back observing. I knew the answers to a lot, but I reviled being the class pet. I used to go to Spanish class in HS and read newspapers during class because it bored me, then she would call on me and I would speak in Spanish. I could absorb material quickly, and often my life was boring 95% of the time because I had to wait for other people to catch up. My first college class was when I was 11, I took BASIC programming at Reading Area Community College.

My strength in learning was my OCD/ADHD which I documented in my previous post. I didn’t know I had it until 18 months or so ago. And, I haven’t written here much in years due to a lot of other projects. Occasionally, I come here on a break and write a little, then delete it. But I am not a guy who reads an article and then puts on the Dunning Kruger hat. Rather, I’m someone who becomes literally obsessed with learning everything there is about a topic. This is usually about a 3 year window. And with these subjects, I then have a graduate level understanding of these subjects. I should know, as I have 2 graduate degrees and understand the depth of learning.

While all of the above is setting up something like, “I know this. Shut up and sit down”. What you have to understand is my DEFAULT MODE is to lean in and learn from people who know more than me about a subject. However, I get really frustrated at times when I DO know something, then I have to slow down and explain it to the class. The speed of my mind is rapid. I do love to take time and educate people. I find building educational materials soothing, and delivering the material feels like presenting a doctoral thesis. While you may laugh, those of you who have a cursory understanding of my background haven’t seen my videos and writings which are quite in depth and long.

All of this is to say I sucked at biology in HS and could not stand understanding the life of a cell. Things I AM interested in, I will go to the depths of the earth to learn about 95-98% of the subject matter. What then ends up happening is I reach the end of the internet, so to speak, and with this – I get what I best describe in my mind as the law of diminishing returns. For example, the first few days and weeks learning something new, I get dopamine hits left and right. As time goes on, the more time I put into something, the less new information I’m learning. By the time year 2 is up, I’m graduate level in a subject, and year 3 is about fine tuning my understanding. Eventually, readily available material to read is now all repetitive. There are less and less dopamine hits, and with this, I seek out new things I have always wanted to learn. Quantum Leap had Dr. Sam Beckett have 10 PhDs. Which, sounds silly – because each one of them could take years to do. The point was, he was sort of my idol as a fake academic because he dedicated his life to learning.

I learned a LOT during my 175 pound weight loss, and with this, I wanted to share a big nugget.

Autophagy

The theory

Autophagy is THE answer to cancer prevention we all need. Big money wants you brain dead and numb to keep feeding THEM. YOU being fat, sick, and unhealthy is the only way they make money. If you were fed thoughts that could make you actually healthy, you become a threat to the machine. Hence why RFK is the boogeyman today of the left. As they complain about high health insurance costs. The irony here will be somewhat comical if you can make it through this. I may try and feed this into HeyGen for videos and put this on my YouTube.

There are layers upon layers to this thesis, so let me try and layer this appropriately. First, autophagy simply means “self eat”. When your body is deprived of glucose for a long period of time, and you have exhausted your glycogen stores in your liver and – to an extent your muscles – your body then starts to run on ketones. The exact percent and where all of this is coming from isn’t hugely important to this, and – to be quite honest – THIS is where I would say it’s over my head. I watched a video of Dr. Lustig showing how fructose has the same digestive pathway as alcohol – which is how he showed how non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is prevalent in children. He essentially showed how fructose created the disease, and if you think about it, wine is fermented grapes – and this more or less shows how fructose is digested in a similar manner to alcohol. Yet, many parents don’t think twice about giving their kids orange juice or apple juice – but you are overdosing them on fructose. This is also why you stay away from the packaged garbage in the super market for them.

But aside from Dr. Lustig’s 1 hour presentation I watched, I could not talk to you about the medical speak of all of that. I understood the CONCEPT, and let the details to the actual MDs to fight out.

All of this is to say I watched thousands of videos from medical doctors over YEARS about all of this. This is how I eventually used ketosis to lose a ton of weight and train for triathlons.

I bring up ketosis because it essentially limits the amount of carbohydrates you are putting into your body. Whether it is simply sugars like sucrose, lactose, fructose – or the complex carbohydrates that are slower to digest in breads, pastas, and potatoes – they all are converted to GLUCOSE.

I took all kinds of crazy classes in grad school, and one talked about statistical process control (SPC). What this showed was a healthy system had upper and lower ranges. More or less, if your process was out of control, it would break rules. And, it could go higher than upper control limits, or lower than lower control limits.

So this is how I built and designed processes in IT for decades. The concept of designing processes – then have mathematical items associated with it, and then you need to ensure adherence to the rule set to ensure it is valid. You then training you employees on repeatable processes. When you inert humans into this, you are looking at perhaps at best a 3 sigma process. Human error is thus factored in, so perhaps with 1000 support tickets, 3 might go over SLA. Meaning, instead of yelling at people to just “do better” you create a set of rules and a process they follow. Their employment is thus tied to following processes, not outcomes. IF they follow these processes, the outcomes take care of themselves. You then monitor the outcomes to see if adherence to the process was wrong (inspection and auditing tickets) or you then need to rebuild your process.

Meaning, this is the chart I have constantly in my mind wen designing processes. Efficiency is the top of my list, so often when I ask people to do things, I have a plan and design already setup. When people then push back, the frustration I have is based on decades of experience of designing efficient processes. It doesn’t mean I’m right all the time. It means when I open my mouth to ask you to do something, I’m not playing. Often, my leadership process is to poll people for ideas. I already have an idea in mind, but I want my team to feel THEY came up with this brilliant idea, and I’m just the shepherd who guides them. If I bestow my brilliance upon people (lol) it comes off as arrogant. This was part of my EQ journey. However, if I have a plan, and I ask 6 people and one of them has my idea, I lean into them a little to explain it. I watch the team rally around them. And I reward the person with the idea to pursue it.

Let’s digress.

When I started learning more about health around 2016, I found this is how the body more or less works!!

So you now see what I see. An SPC chart that shows the PROCESS of how blood glucose works. If it gets too high, your body releases insulin. If it’s too low, it releases glucagon.

With this – insulin carries excess glucose from your blood into cells. When it is doing this, there is a cell door locking the door open so you can’t access the energy from these cells at that time. If your blood glucose levels get to low, glucagon is released to get glycogen from your liver or glycogen stores.

What if I told you that you never needed to eat a carb again and you will be just fine? I have seen many media entities talk about low blood sugar and if you don’t eat sugar, you will die. Let me first state that this MAY BE TRUE if you have severe diabetes. Contact your medical doctor before you listen to a damn thing some random guy on the internet writes.

I spent years on low carb, and with this, I also fasted a good amount, and I loved one meal a day (OMAD). I am writing from personal experience of this.

With a ketogenic diet – it’s “fasting mimicking” in the sense that my body would run mostly on ketone bodies and not glucose. But how does the body get the glucose to run if you don’t eat sugar or carbs? Your body can break down dietary protein and fats into glucose using gluconeogenesis. Meaning, of the 3 macronutrients we eat, carbohydrates are the only of the three we can do without – forever – and never have an issue.

So if carbs aren’t necessary for life, why do we eat so many of them? I’m glad you asked – and this is listed in perhaps dozens of my 150 health articles here. Long story short, in the 1970s with runaway inflation, trying to afford meats may have been difficult. The government does what the government does – come up with shitty solutions based on PAC money. Not science. The idea was that humans needed 1800 calories a day to survive, so it doesn’t matter if it’s 1800 calories of steak or 1800 calories of bread, pasta, and potatoes. This avoids starvation.

But if you don’t understand SPC and rules – you don’t grasp that each one of those macronutrients affects your body chemistry differently. As you have seen – excess glucose activates insulin. The problem is, your body eventually gets a form of “tolerance” to insulin, and your body then becomes “insulin resistant”. This then requires you to have more and more insulin to take the glucose out of your bloodstream. I watched, powerless, as I begged my mom to stop eating fruit and candy – until she then became diabetic. Which then eventually led to stage 4 pancreatic cancer….and then…a brutal death 15 months later.

If people just don’t eat carbs and sugars, they won’t need the insulin. And this is how Virta health and others “cure” type 2 diabetes. Your body, over time, can become less insulin resistant.

SPCs as a way of living

Above, I showed you how insulin and glucagon regulate blood sugar. This is my area of “understanding”. However, when you get blood tests, there are all kinds of things your body regulates.

I had pneumonia at the beginning of this year, and for 6 weeks, I was miserable. I almost died. Went to the hospital, and the night before I was making my peace with loved ones as my oximeter slowly dropped to 80. I was confused. Disoriented. Hadn’t slept for days due to the coughing. Hallucinations. I got these blood tests there that when I got results, I had no idea what the hell 90% of them were. THIS is where you need your MD because I don’t have a clue about that stuff.

But the same concept is true for blood sugar as it is for everything else in your body: hormones automatically regulate your systems into homeostasis.

Meaning, your body, at all times, is regulating itself. It’s automated. All you need to do is feed it what it needs.

And the problem is this: you have been told to eat all of the wrong things, most of your life. It is about this time I could then go into how your body naturally makes cholesterol, and how your cholesterol numbers don’t mean a hill of beans to your life – but people want to give you statins to drive down the cholesterol in your body. Why?

Let’s copy and paste from the internet now….

“Key Hormone Functions of Cholesterol:

• Steroid Hormones: Cholesterol is converted into cortisol (regulates metabolism and stress response) and aldosterone (balances salt and water).
• Sex Hormones: It is required to make progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.
• Vitamin D: Cholesterol is a precursor to Vitamin D synthesis.

While crucial for these functions, high levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.”

And they have to throw in the knock about LDL. They can’t help themselves.

The LAST part there is what I have a MASSIVE disagreement with the medical establishment on. MY contention is that we eat too many inflammatory foods. Seed oils that are “heart healthy” may be the actual thing that has killed more people than anything else in history. Chat GPT wants to fight me on this – and I could presume that it is using prevailing medical practices weighted over newer science and journals.

My point about cholesterol here is this. If people tell you to stop eating eggs or steak due to cholesterol, and your doctor wants to put you on a statin because your total cholesterol is 210, run from them. Your BRAIN is made of cholesterol. Your body MAKES cholesterol naturally.

What happens when you take statins, avoid meats and eggs?

• lack of steroid hormones. This is why the vegan men look “soft” and “thin”.
• lack of sex hormones. Birth rates dropping anywhere in the world?
• Low vitamin D. You get sick a lot and your body cannot fight off illness.

If you look at the above, alzheimers was discovered in 1906. Below, you can see statin prescriptions since 1990 or so. Statins reduce cholesterol. Your brain is made of cholesterol. They told you to stop eating food rich in cholesterol because it will kill you.

Autophagy introduced

When I was a kid growing up, many of us were aware of the dangers of anorexia. One of my friend’s friends developed this and lost a lot of weight. But this was also on the outset of Karen Carpenter dying from it in 1983, when I was 8 years old. It was a big deal to avoid anorexia. If you skipped a meal, people would get upset. Not eating for a day? Something must be wrong with you.

If you eat the standard American diet, you could be 100 pounds and still be starving hungry after 4 hours of not eating. But why? You have all of those calories around your waist, why is your body telling you to eat? A lot of this – I believe – comes from gut flora. How you eat, then develops bacteria, and these bacteria then signal to “feed me!!”. At my height, I was 372 pounds and could not go 4 hours with the ravenous hunger. The worst part, is that you try many times to lose weight, but hunger overpowers you.

As a child, there’s no way I could have even done anorexia, because I was hungry all the damn time.

One thing the chart above misses, is that ghrelin is the “hunger” hormone and it can be triggered when glucagon is released into your bloodstream in search of glucose – this hunger hormone then tells you to eat. So you pound yourself full with a plate of pasta, you spike your blood sugar to take the excess glucose out of it, then the insulin smashes down your blood glucose levels, makes you tired and hungry. THAT is because most of the foods I ate were a high percentage of carbohydrates.

Ketosis works – but let me also say that the first year I lost 72 pounds, it was 40/30/30. I had to literally count every morsel of food and weigh it all. I noticed when I reduced my carb percentage from about 70% to 40%, and added things like broccoli with fiber, my hunger was less. This allowed me to almost instantly eat smaller plates of food. But the catch here was that there was another hormone – leptin – the satiety hormone – which was suppressed via the crap foods I ate, and there were even some studies that correlated leptin resistance with MSGs to show how these flavor enhancers could suppress leptin.

So not only were the foods in my gut creating bacteria that needed to be fed, but these foods also had MSGs. I was working a lot of hours, going to grad school, and commuting 90 minutes each way. I didn’t have time to cook, so I tried to eat ok. But many times the hunger was so overwhelming I had no choice but to make poor dietary mistakes. Add my OCD into this, and I would fixate on a food and have little to no ability to stop my thoughts. Then, the foods I ate suppressed leptin, meaning there was no governor switch to tell me I was full.

This was a nasty cycle.

So how could I do autophagy? I couldn’t go 4 hours without eating!!

Step 1 was to do a ketogenic diet. This is a “fasting mimicking” diet in that your super low levels of carbohydrates then has your body running on ketones for the most part. While your brain may need glucose – your body can make glucose itself to provide for the brain. Remember – eating protein? Fats? Your body then extracts the glucose it needs from this to feed your brain. I used to get an ammonia smell in my sweat when I used to bike 40+ miles and do runs over 5 miles. This was my ketogenic body breaking down protein/muscle for glucose, which produced an ammonia smell in my shirts.

But when you eat a “clean” ketogenic diet with giant salads like I did, it becomes very easy to eat one giant meal per day. You can train your body to eat at one time of the day, and you have very little hunger outside of it.

THIS is why the ketogenic and low carb diets are effective:

Physics dude: “see, if you just eat less than you burn, you lose weight stupid”.

Endocrine doctor: “if you eat to feed your hormones and avoid garbage, your body can self regulate and you are less hungry and then consume less calories. Fats and protein are high satiety and do not “spike” your blood sugar, so you do not get insulin crashes and ravenous hunger. You avoid MSGs, and thus you are able to regulate your hunger bettter.

I did a 2 hour lecture on this – here

The secret now was trying to go a day without eating. For “normal” eating, going 4-6 hours without food may torment you. I would go 23 hours and 30 minutes every day without eating for YEARS. When you train yourself to eat like this, the hunger only comes for like 30 mins before your normal eating window. And, if you skip this meal – you are hungry for about 2-2.5 hours, then it passes. I used to call this “fasting Friday”. I would eat my last meal on Thursdays at 6PM, then my next meal would be Saturday morning.

I would wake up Sat morning absolutely feeling amazing!! I would do 2-3 “fasting fridays” a month, and with this – each one of those days I did not eat, it was roughly 3000 calories, or maybe close to a pound of fat lost. I was trained in ketosis as well, so small meals with meat, eggs, or cheese would hold me over for many hours.

When you talk about autophagy, you now are talking about a period of time when the body is detecting a form of starvation. Glucose is hard to come by. Ketones are operating the shop. But food stops, and now the body needs to eat itself for survival. What this does first is cleave malformed and cancer cells. However – once a tumor is developed, it starts to get questionable.

“The takeaway is that autophagy is a double-edged sword in cancer: it prevents tumors from forming in the first place, but once a tumor is established, cancer cells often co-opt the same machinery to fuel their own survival. This is why designing autophagy-based therapies is so tricky — the goal and the timing matter enormously.

The gap between your reasoning and current practice isn’t really about the logic — it’s about the fact that medicine moves slowly and needs controlled evidence before changing standard of care. The ideas you’re articulating aren’t fringe; they’re just ahead of the clinical proof.

Your intuition is pointing in the same direction as a serious and growing field. The potential benefits of fasting, especially as an adjunct to conventional therapies, are worthy of further exploration, but there is insufficient evidence to support its use as a standalone treatment. More robust clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy, safety, and optimal conditions under which fasting might be beneficial in cancer care. PubMed Central“

So it makes sense for us to teach people in their teens and 20s on how to do autophagy – safely. By the time you are 60 and get tumors and cancer, it may be too late.

Autophagy and cancer

Both of my parents died of cancer. They ate like shit. My dad’s situation was more of smoking cigarettes for years and working in environments as a welder with lots of asbestos. But he ate carb rich diets – which – I feel helped tumor growth. My mother – as I mentioned above – ate a lot of sweets and potatoes and breads which led to type 2 diabetes and eventually pancreatic cancer.

In both – they did chemo and radiation. My dad lasted for 11 months with small cell cancer, but he was actually improving it seemed. He actually died of pneumonia in the hospital as a complication of his treatments. My mother last 15 months with stage 4 pancreatic cancer – but continued to eat all kinds of fruits.

Both had tons of nausea. And didn’t eat. My mom and dad BOTH used forms of marijuana to improve their appetites.

But I have to wonder. If you see a cancer tumor that is small, and cut it out, could this be stage 1 of solving cancer? Obviously. However, what if….what if before the surgery, someone is induced into ketosis over a few weeks, then does a 3-7 day fast starting with the surgery? You remove the tumor connected to a blood supply (nutrients) and what may be left are small tiny almost undetectable clusters. Could starving cancer cells of not only glucose, but inducing autophagy be a magic bullet?

Could this ultimate be why radiation and chemo can be successful? Your body is poisoned and doesn’t want to eat. Since autophagy won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2016, could “not eating” after a cancer tumor removal be a way to go? I had also read recently that cancer biopsies may actually be a cause of cancer – a small cluster of suspected cancer cells is discovered. You cut into it, and suddenly cancer cells can “escape” the tumor and get into the bloodstream and spread? Why biopsy at all? Remove the damn clump, have someone not eat for a week. Could that be a cure?

What I have read is rudimentary – but the concept has been that glucose is a major fuel of cancer. Maybe 10 years ago now, my cousin was diagnosed with a glioma. Brain cancer. They more or less gave her a few years to live. What they had her do was a ketogenic diet, and they did their thing with cutting out tumors and lasers and all of that. But could it be that a ketogenic diet – without an excess of glucose – could be the magic bullet along with this? I would then argue that for most people, a fasting protocol done a few times a month may be not only cancer preventive, but could also help shrink some tumors?

I don’t know enough about other cancer fuels to comment further. I am writing this to talk about autophagy for cancer prevention. And, ketosis could starve cancer cells of glucose. But what if:

1. what if you go in for a biopsy they just remove the damn thing.
2. you get tumors cut out
3. Both have ketogenic diets with autophagy sprinkled in weekly?

I have done the fasting fridays – but I also did a 3 day fast once a quarter or so. While I might sip some beef broth here and there and use salt in water to keep my electrolytes in check – I wonder if this has been tested at scale?

I had seen Dr. Peter Attia on Joe Rogan many years ago talking about how SEALS were put on ketogenic diets. I remember how when I was deep into this, I held my breath underwater for maybe 2 minutes with my son watching the clock. I could have gone longer, but I think people were getting concerned. I did a TON of zone 2 training then as well, so my aerobic capacity was insane. I would eat blueberries and have other anti-oxidants daily to kill free radicals.

At the height of my training, I would eat 75-125g of carbs per day for perhaps 2-3 hours of training a day. When I had race day, I would target my usage of gatorade and carbs for balls out type of activity that required hills. I would do massive zone 2 volume, but then closer to race day, I did intervals and hills, and this increased my anaerobic capacity (think HIIT ) which helped me have the glucose needed for hills and power. I targeted all carbs around intense training.

Your brain needs like 125g of glucose per day to function. When I am full out keto, my brain cannot do in depth thinking. I am quick with recall. When I have higher levels of carbs, I become a deeeeeeeep thinker. The point is this. Why are you eating 300-400g of carbs per day?

Claude gave me this when I started asking a bunch.

“Where your reasoning hits genuine complexity

The big unresolved tension is this: the same autophagy that clears micro-clusters in Phase 1 (pre-tumor) can help surviving cancer cells weather the fasting stress in Phase 2. So inducing autophagy post-surgery on residual micro-disease is a bet that those cells are still in the “autophagy kills them” phase rather than the “autophagy saves them” phase. Whether that bet pays off likely depends on the cancer type, the mutations involved, and how established those residual clusters are — which is exactly why researchers are trying to map out those conditions in trials.”

Hamster wheel

They talk about being healthy as “eating a balanced diet” and “exercising”. But these are the same people that take PAC money to make big pharma, big food, and big medicine to keep them in business.

I created my site lowcarbfitness180 to turn the food pyramid upside down, as that is how I have been living for a decade. I’m 50, and still don’t need glasses. A year into RFK being there, they flipped the pyramid upside down!!! So – that page now is relatively useless lol. I thought this was going to be a 10 year fight. No. Over.

But I ask you this. If you need fats and proteins to live, and your body can make glucose, why do you need carbs at all? To me, carbs are rocket fuel. Deep thinking. HIIT training. Sports that require POWER. If you aren’t an athlete, why are you eating carbs?

This is why Bob in accounting who sits in a seat all day for 10-12 hours, then has a long commute home should not be eating cake at 9:30 to celebrate Barb’s birthday.

You have a few paths here:

1. Eat over 125g of carbs per day. LOTS of hamster wheel movements needed to be done.
2. Eat low carb and no need to exercise

There are nuances in what I’m saying above, but if the main reason you need to do “hard” and “vigorous” exercise is to deal with excess carbohydrate consumption, stop eating excess carbs.

100 years ago, men worked in the mines, on the farm, or in the factories. Women knew in the 1950s that eating sweets were “a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”. People didn’t really die of cardiovascular disease in high levels until they introduced crisco into the food supply. Fast food became poison when they removed beef tallow and introduced hydrogenated oils which were trans fats. But the guys who were lifting heavy things all day? This allowed them to eat potatoes and sandwiches without gaining weight. Everyone was fit.

The issue became when we all became sedentary at our jobs – as we were battling high inflation. This is when the move to a high percentage of carbs took place. And this is when the obesity epidemic started. The answer? Go run on a fucking hamster wheel for an hour a day and fight hunger by white knuckling it as you choke down your 11 servings of carbs a day.

Look at this graphic from Harvard:

Why at the bottom are they telling you to exercise FIRST? The next layer up here has grains and vegetables/fruits (all carbs). They have oils here as healthy – and I can argue vast differences in different oils. But this layer – provides no fats or proteins, which is what we need to live. You then have nuts on the next level – which are great for a snack here and there, but are mostly high inflammatory. At the top, it has red meat. Like the most nutritious thing you can eat.

Here is what RFK did.

After everything I have written above, does this new food pyramid not make sense? Is this new food pyramid IDENTICAL to how I lost 175 pounds? Is this new food pyramid easy to get into a ketogenic state, and thus easy to do fasting? YES!

So why for the last 50 years have we been fed exactly what you feed cattle to fatten them up?

Follow….the money.

If this new food pyramid promotes proteins and fats, this more or less crushes:

It also crushes these guys

And don’t forget these guys

And guess what? All of these guys pay for advertising with these guys. What do you think happens to news when we tell people to eat right, no one gets sick, and no one eats Froot Loops or takes a pill or goes in for a $500k cancer treatment?

And if you are a media company who relies on advertising to survive, and your CEO needs to constantly improve shareholder value, do you run stories that would actually HEAL you, or would you continue to play stories that made you rich, but everyone else sick?

Could the big answer to all of this to be just don’t eat one day a week? I have been reading the bible lately, and with this, I have learned that all major religions have fasting protocols. Why? I can tell you after a 3 day fast, I feel absolutely amazing.

Both of my parents died of cancer. I can’t change that. And, it might be too late for me. But if we think about our kids, would that not make sense to ensure they eat right?

For my part – I created a new news empire that will replace most of the broadcast news channels. I have had my page up and running for 18 hours in the background here, and it’s constantly new news stories being fed in. This bypasses your terrible food commercials, or “you don’t need to cut carbs, take this boner pill”, or your massively expensive healthcare because 9 our of 10 doctors in the 1960s recommended this brand of cigarettes.

Be healthy. Be informed. I genuinely don’t know if autophagy could be a magic bullet with this, but I am so far pulled outside of the matrix and did the exact opposite of what my doctors told me to lose 175 pounds.

If I want to walk the dog, I don’t need carbs. If I am planning to run hills and play tennis, I need carbs for that type of movement. If you aren’t an athlete, why aren’t you eating like RFK suggests? Like I would suggest? Like anyone in the low carb movement suggests? P.S. – if you want big hulking muscles, you do need carbs to build muscle. The carbs give you glucose for power, but then also use the insulin to help with muscle synthesis with protein. So yeah – your favorite YouTubers who are fitness people may eat 400g of carbs per day. And they spend 2 hours in the gym busting their balls. You sit in accounting and eat cake and tell me carbs aren’t bad.
