Exercise is severely overrated and diet is severely underrated.
Many of us have gone through phases of trying to outrun/outlift a carb-filled diet, and all have reached the same conclusion:
You can't.
Diet is the base layer of health.
Cut the junk (carbs/sugar) and jack up your red meat consumption to as close to 100% of total food intake as possible.
THEN hit the gym.
It'll be much easier since you'll have more consistent energy, faster weight loss, and boosted muscle growth thanks to your body's preferred state of ketosis! 💪🥩
