Diet and Exercise for Entrepreneurs
Tweet · Jun 11, 2025
I’m not a fitpro, nor do coach this stuff (I used to) BUT for what it’s worth, this is my hot take on diet and exercise as a dude with 3 kids, full time job, multiple side businesses and maintaining single digit body fat…
(that feels weird to say. I’m not bragging, that’s just to share that I know what I’m talking about) 🤷🏻♂️
*** Again, I’m not promoting any kind of service. This convo has came up for me in the last week twice, so I figured it be relative to others.
Also it’s okay if you disagree or even question my expertise. You can just keep doing what you’re doing.
Let’s tackle diet first because this is usually the struggle. I’m going to simplify this down as much as I possibly can.
To lose weight, it’s calories in vs. calories out. There’s plenty of ways to find your maintenance caloric number (ask chat gpt to calculate it for you) then just eat less than that.
Eat more lean protein. Each meal just focus first on the lean protein you’re going to eat. Eat that and then let the rest of it fall into place
Cut out the crap. You know what the crap is. Just stop eating it. It’s not even on the table anymore. It doesn’t even exist. Be black and white about it. WHEN you get to the weight range you want to be in, then add that back in as a treat. For example, I have donuts every Sunday and pizza once a month. I have ZERO regrets after eating those because I know I’ve earned it.
That’s over simplified, but the TL:DR is eat less than your maintenance to be in a cut, focus on protein, stop eating junk.
==EXERCISE==:
This is the fun part (for most).
Some movement is better than no movement. To start just move your body outside of your normal daily activity everyday. Just do something.
The key to your success here is finding activity you enjoy and look forward to. Where it’s fun for you. Find that and do it as many times as you can in the week
Sure, there’s exercise routines and gyms and programs and whatnot that you can do, but if you are eating right and moving everyday, you’ll look great.
This might throw off my entrepreneur algorithm here, so just in case, this post is mainly geared towards entrepreneurs in the trenches wishing they had a 6 pack. 🤣
Genuinely though, let me know if this makes any sense or you have any questions. I love this stuff.
