Consistency beats intensity
Spend a couple minutes on social media and you will see that thousands of accounts focusing on motivation, being alpha…make sure you edit with really dramatic lighting and music. All this is emotion. We love it. It feels good…in the moment. The issue is it doesn't last which is why there is untold amounts of money and time spent on getting people motivated. It sells…over and over. And it fails over and over.
Consistency on the other hand is less flashy. Less attractive. It makes a terrible post. But the results are attractive and addicting. All sustained progress comes from consistency. Small repeatable actions that barely move the needle done over time create huge movement.
The 4% rule helps to create sustainable change for maximum long term progress. Change your current action by 4% only. Not enough to require motivation. Not enough to feel heroic. Just enough that you can do it again tomorrow without negotiating with yourself about whether you really want to.
Most people fail because they try to change too many things at once. They wake up one Monday and decide today is the day. New diet, new workout plan, new prayer schedule. Oh and I'm fasting 36 hours a week. By Thursday they're exhausted and questioning their life choices and if things can ever change.
Four percent looks like nothing. It is almost nothing. That's why it works. You're not trying to become someone else. You're making your current pattern slightly better in a way that doesn't collapse under its own weight. Do that enough times and you've actually changed. Not because you finally got serious, but because you used the compounding power of consistency to create progress with as little friction as possible.

I have found that eating little to no carbohydrates at night before bed seems to help me sleep better.

It takes what it takes.
It takes as long as it takes.
We are called to steward our health not think about in 12 week blocks around summer time.
Most people don't fail because they lack motivation, they fail because they lack a plan. Imagine trying to drive across the country without directions. You wouldn't just make random turns and expect to end up at your destination. Fitness works the same way.
If your goal is to get stronger, build muscle, or lose body fat, you need a plan that moves you toward that goal not just a workout made up of your favorite exercises.

A pre-workout meal is not always necessary. But the studies do show that over the long haul when you eat before you work out you tend to have a better workout.
Even if it's marginally better if you stack those better workouts overtime you tend to get stronger and see better results. Now, if you're just used to not eating before you work out stick with that.
At the end of the day consistency is the most important thing. Remember you are created in God's image and you are his image bearer.
Whatever you need to do in order to honor that image well from day-to-day is probably the right thing for you.
Your body burns most of its calories simply by keeping you alive: breathing, thinking, your heart beating, and your organs functioning.
Exercise is important, but it's only one piece of the puzzle. You can't out-train a poor diet. If fat loss is your goal, nutrition has to come first.
The best results come when you prioritize both but don't expect exercise to make up for bad eating habits.

Two rules to live by when ordering out.
1. Avoid handheld options. The bread and the tortilla are usually hundreds of calories with very little nutrition.
2. If protein can be doubled for a nominal fee there should be no argument. It must be done. No one ever got fat by eating too much protein. But most people do get over fat by under eating protein and over eating high energy foods filled with carbs and fats together
Obviously if you have a lot of weight to lose you need to be in a calorie deficit. These two rules can help you maintain that when you can't quite control all of the variables.

You can not go wrong with making these staples in your training.
They are not ranked but by importance.
If you are working to be strong and fit for the long haul this is where you should start.
