    Everytime I get a meal with vegetables I eat that first no matter what else is on the plate. I think of it working my way to the best part of the meal

    Make and bring my lunch to work every day. It takes planning and discipline, but over a year, saves me about $12/day, or $3,130 a year.

    I say the opposite: fries get cold too fast, they SHOULD be eaten before you get home.

    What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?

    Probably exercise. Lifelong habit of exercise. Different sorts at different times but never nothing, always something on purpose to strengthen & keep flexible, most days of the week.

    Night cream and sunscreen since my early 20s too, I do not look how I expected to at this age, nice surprise that was.

      Flossing! I floss frequently. I floss more than I brush my teeth (yuck) but it works. Logic behind the lack of brushing is that in the morning I’m drinking coffee and running out the door. At night, sometimes I fall asleep before I brush. But I have floss on my desk at work and in my coffee table at home (as well as obviously in the bathroom with my toothbrush). My dentist can’t even tell I miss brushing at times. But can definitely tell I floss regularly.

      You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.

    I’ve been really good with taking my medication first thing these days. I also walk during my lunch hour, and use that time to listen to audio books. Sometimes I don’t wanna walk, but I still want to know what happens next, so I go for that walk.

    Meal prepping my lunch and breakfast for the week. Makes it so I don’t eat junk food or if I do it’s rationed in such away it’s premeasered. But chicken and salads everyday this way and I mix up my proteins. Leftover steak go great with A1 sauce. Pulled pork with BBQ sauce on a salad to die for.

    Just easy for me to pull it out and now exactly what I am eating

      Any tips on how to avoid salad getting soggy? I have to meal prep most of my food and soggy veggies are my nemesis.

        Put the dressing in another jar. I use small mason jars. I have some glass Pyrex with a snug lid I just pour the dressing on at lunch time and then shake the shit out of it

    Whenever I see on Youtube Shorts something too crazy to be true, I immediately do a quick research and don’t stop until I have three sources (counting wikipedia) to corroborate the information.

    Handtool woodworking, especially if you tackle the hard stuff. I resaw 50% of my stock, by hand, then smooth, by hand. Just in the last 3-4 months when I started taking it seriously, I lost 20 pounds, with basically few dietary changes. It also keeps me so preoccupied I don’t think about eating lol.
