Good advice. How’d you find that accountant? The wife does freelance design/marketing, so pretty niche.
I asked the baller Real Estate agents I met who they used. The guy I end up using was recommended by a guy from million dollar listing (didn’t watch the show or even know he was on it at the time, just knew he was successful). She just needs to find someone that is very successful in her field and ask them. Or a similar field.

Diet hack: plain rice cakes with sugar-free maple syrup. Trust me.
These Kim’s deli pop cakes are 10 cals apiece and the syrup is 5 for 2 TBSP (don’t buy Walden Farms, way more expensive). It honestly tastes like a snack version of waffles — so delicious.

Excellent advice, brother. You’re the man.
I’ve thought this before too… I sell for a manufacturing company and it’s pretty tough to see floor people’s hours get cut back when things are slow if I’m not finding enough business, yet I’m still getting my full salary the whole time (albeit no commission but my pay is mostly base even being in sales, don’t ask me why, I don’t have a clue)
It’s a tough one. The other side of the argument is can any Joe blow off the street making $10 an hour that barely graduated high school convince a customer that you’re the person they need to be working with? Figure out/decide pricing on something that will affect the company for years? Negotiate contracts? What’s a screw up on any of those going to cost the company? What’s doing it right going to benefit the company? It’s huge numbers sometimes. It’s not harder work for sure, but there are pieces of it that most people can’t do. I suspect you’re in a similar boat.
100%. The company I work for got bought out a couple of years ago, I was about to leave, new owners wanted me to stay and I got a pretty big raise out of it. Right place/right time. From their perspective a single $1M project wayyyy more than pays for my salary bump vs. some guy that would have to start from zero and may or may not have the relationships needed to make that happen.

What about a flat tax rate with some sort of annual credit so you basically pay no taxes on the first, say, $20K that you spend (just making up a number, I don’t know what it should be). That would let people who make lower incomes and spend just on the essentials more or less not pay any taxes on the basics of surviving, so they at least wouldn’t be worse off than under the current system. I don’t know if the numbers work… not sure, just an idea that I’m sure has been had before.
That could work, but I think it would end up that people would paying about the same to make it work.
Dr. Greg got to me. The anabolic ice cream game has changed. He’s so right. Well worth the $80. Thank God for that man.

I liked it when the vitmix blender seized up making the ice cream in that other kids video.

That’s actually what happened to me too - my Cuisinart said “fuck this” and tapped out, lol

then you see the Ninja blades and it makes sense
I’ve got one of those too! I’ve used it more for making milkshakes than anything healthy though, works very well
His anabolic french toast is on point, too. I make that with Zero Net L’Oven Fresh bread from Aldi with sugar-free maple syrup. 10g protein for 77 kcal.
I’ve recently increased protein substantially from 0.75g/lb bodyweight to 1-1.5g/lb and reduced fat to 15% of my calories and I’m seeing serious results in recomping. I found an awesome local shop that carries Snack House protein puffs and they’re a game changer. 15g protein, 3.5g fat for 100 kcal.
Also, AstroFlav makes a lean whey isolate called IsoMix in a few amazing flavors, including cinnamon toast crunch. I add in some PB2 and blueberries and it tastes way better than it should. 28g protein, 6g carbs, 3g fat for 180 kcal.

Those are some super clutch tips, brother. I LOVE the French toast and am gonna snag that bread from Aldi — great to know.
I tried his pancake recently, which tasted good and was quite big but didn’t fill me up as much as I hoped. I favor the French toast.
It absolutely makes sense that those changes — increasing protein, decreasing fat — have yielded great results. I’ve always been wary of taking fat too low. It’s obviously important for so many things, including hormonal function. I’m probably below 20% now, too, though, as I eat more and more like Greg.
I’ve never heard of those protein puffs — gotta try those! They taste as good as they sound?
Unfortunately can’t take you up on the whey tip, as I’ve gone fully plant-based with my protein powder. I couldn’t handle the gas anymore, lol. It’s unfortunate because whey tastes much better and there are way better flavors, like that one. Come to think of it — guessing those puffs are coated in whey?
Yep, the puffs are whey. They taste great though. That IsoMix is a total whey isolate and is way easier on my gut. I couldn’t take the complete whey proteins, either, but this stuff is no problem.

This stuff is a great product. I am saving over a 100 calories a day just by making the switch in my breakfast protein shake. Costco has a much bigger container than the one pictured, and is much cheaper per gram FYI.
Aldi, one of my favorite stores has Regular Ass Bread too. Sometimes on sale for $0.39 per loaf in my area.

Question on the anabolic French toast. Is it actually as good with egg whites? That part I am skeptical about. Also, I am a snob about maple syrup having to coming from a maple tree (On this one Greg is not very Canadian, and should be embarrassed). I think I could handle a low calorie fruit syrup, but not maple. Is the Smuckers sugar free stuff good?
