Are you ready to unlock a leaner physique while still enjoying your favorite foods like pizza and tacos? What if I told you that less effort could lead to better fitness results?

In this episode, I chat with Alex, who shares his path from professional baseball player to hedge fund analyst and entrepreneur. He reveals how he maintains a lean physique year-round without counting calories or going hungry. Alex explains that food serves as a love language, not just fuel, and how he makes minor adjustments to popular foods like burgers and fried chicken to make them protein-dominant. We discuss why pursuing strength and speed is more effective than high-volume workouts, which leads to a quicker metabolism. Alex also highlights the value of morning workouts for building confidence and managing stress, and he introduces his "Triple Seven Club" principle covering finances, fitness, and sleep. He shares how he improved his sleep by reducing stimulants and incorporating daily movement. This conversation is about unconventional methods that simplify success in health and life.

Key Takeaways

• We discuss how food is more than just fuel; it's a love language with cultural significance, and viewing it only as fuel often means missing these deeper societal underpinnings

• I learned that training for strength and speed is more effective than high volume workouts focused on difficulty, as this approach increases your resting metabolic rate and helps you achieve better physique gains

• Alex encourages getting addicted to getting 1% better each week in workouts. This consistent, small improvement compounds significantly over time, leading to excellent shape in one to two years.

• We talk about the "Triple Seven Club": a philosophy centered on having seven figures liquid, being able to run a seven-minute mile, and sleeping seven hours per night. Achieving these three things typically leads to a very good mood and significantly improved quality of life
