My Thoughts on Beer… When Getting Lean

Someone recently asked my opinion on beer in my Youtube comments.

I haven’t really addressed it, and October does seem to be beer season, so I’ll cover it here.

When you are trying to get lean, it’s not a great idea.

• You could be using those calories for protein or carbs
• It can cause you to crave high-calorie late-night snacks

Once you are already lean, a few beers 1-2 nights per week is fine.

*I’d just limit or avoid this if you have a good amount of fat to lose.

If you drink too much beer, you will run into another problem…

Beer contains phytoestrogen and prolactin, which can increase estrogen levels and decrease testosterone.

I see college-aged guys where this is extremely noticeable.

There is an estrogenic fat pattern.

A young guy’s body shouldn’t look like this.

*College is a bad time to have Low-T.

There’s never a good time for having low testosterone, but your early 20s is when you are supposed to be meeting girls, attacking life, etc.

So many young guys party so hard that they kill their drive.

In my high-end mastermind group, I recommend that guys drastically cut back on their drinking or eliminate it completely.

I learned this lesson the hard way.

I have had periods of my life where I’d be super productive Mon-Fri.

I’d build up momentum in my business…

*Then kill it all by staying up until 2 AM partying on a Saturday night.

Luckily I noticed this self-defeating pattern in my early 20s.

I stopped going out so much.

There were periods of 6-8 months where I’d focus and move forward in life.

While other friends my age were partying hard every weekend, I wanted to improve my place in life.

It worked.

If you feel a bit stagnant in life right now, I’d recommend cutting back on the late-night partying.

It’s easy to blow $100-$200 on a Saturday night.

And this expensive Saturday night makes you apathetic on Sunday and can spill over into Mon and Tuesday.

Here’s a better investment…

*The Success Stack consists of Kino Brain, Octane, and Mojo, and it costs less than staying out until 2 AM on Saturday night.

Are you living up to your potential?

Seriously, when you were a kid and dreaming about your future… does your current life look like that dream?

If not, you just need to F*CKN focus for 6-8 months.

Quit drinking so much.

Instead of literally wasting days of your life for a few hours of fun…

Build some momentum in your life.

Our Success Stack is designed to do this exact thing.

The Success Stack

Save the partying for AFTER achieving something significant.

Stop and smell the roses…

Then go into attack mode again and crush your next big goals.
