Roar Chapter 5 - Weighty Matters

Weight is perhaps the most misleading signal about your health. Many people have a number in their head about what they should weigh, and anything heavier is "bad."

Well, screw that!

According to Dr. Stacy Sims, author of ROAR, weight isn't important if longevity, health, and wellbeing are what matter to you. Focus on gaining muscle mass, which will make it easier to lose body fat—and help you stay active as you age. And whatever you do, ladies, do not fast!

For more on all that, check out the latest episode of the 100 Year Athlete podcast.

Quotes:

"Creating an arbitrary number on the scale isn't super helpful for working with your physiology and having your body work well and look good." -Ben

"You can't be at peak performance 100% of the time. It's just not feasible. It's not sustainable. And it's ultimately not good for your longevity." -Ben
