Are you cotton maxxing in the gym yet?
I had a reader ask me what my running kit or gym kit is looking like these days.
Best way to describe the shift I've made recently:
Natural fibers over synthetics. 👇
I'm wearing mostly cotton in the gym these days. Cotton tees, sweatshirts, cotton shorts etc. It's old t but I don't care. I enjoy a sweat soaked cotton tee. It feels damn good.
I will be writing an email on some of my favorite pieces and what I look for later this week.

Fancy term for why this study is interesting but not really practical:
Ecological validity.
Meaning, does any real world population out there routinely eat 150-175g of fiber per day from whole foods?
No.
Do you think the average person would be able to implement this over the long term…hell, even over the medium term?
Nope.
So what’s the value?
That fiber is good and if you can get your intake to at least hit the bare minimum recommendations then you will improve your health in great ways. If you can do more, probably even better.

Wow. A high-fiber diet just beat out the world’s most popular diabetes drug (metformin): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42890753/ (average reported total daily fiber intake was 150-175g and that’s a LOT - I recommend you start at 40g and work your way up, to bowel tolerance)…and in case you’re fiber the participants got…

Agreed.
Because you know the avg American will be upping their protein intake by eating protein chips, protein eggo waffles, protein cereal, protein pop-tarts and all kinds of garbage boosted with some extra protein.

You can’t fix a protein deficiency that doesn’t exist. The US protein target (1.2 to 1.6 g/kg/day) rests on 30 trials of dieting adults with obesity, applied to everyone, with no link to exercise. Ten years on, nobody will be much healthier. Protein is great. It is not magic.

Another fine example from George Russell of how to incorporate some patterned trousers into your fits - this time in navy pinstripe.
Just an easy way to level up your look in a more classy, elegant way. No need to do a full on pinstripe suit.

Great example here from George Russell - note the subtle pattern on his trousers - looks like either a glen check or herringbone/houndstooth.
This is how you had some depth and dimension to your dressier fits without being heavy handed.

It's called "edge dressing"

Attention men:
Provided you lift and do your cardio, 15-20% body fat is completely acceptable (DEXA derived). And really, you've more or less maximized your aesthetics from the standpoint of style at this level.
But if you feel like you need to get your shredz on, go for it.

We need to to start writing prescriptions for forest bathing.
Forest "bathing" is associated with medium to large short term reductions in psychological stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms.
Go outside and walk in nature people.

I expect that antianxiety compounds will continue to grow in demand
Inflation isn't stopping, the K shaped economy is Relentless, and people are uncertain about the future
People are going to look for anything ergogenic that can help them have peace of mind

Not only has Zuckerberg upgraded his style but he's also upgraded his physique in recent years.
This is what a good mid-life crisis can do for a man.

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife have billions in their bank accounts, but when it comes to fashion, they're still waiting for the upgrade. 😭😂"

Speaking of textured trousers...
MANGO's 95% wool/5% cashmere trousers are LEGIT (affiliate): bit.ly/4sSTX2v
Perfect for the fall/winter season. This is what you you wear to the office and what you can wear in the evenings (instead of jeans!) when you go out.

FYI - if you're going to a holiday party this season you should not be wearing jeans.
You should be wearing proper trousers with some TEXTURE. 👇

He wrote this advice in the 1960s...and it still applies today.

It's not just the food itself but also it's TEXTURE (i.e. hardness) that impacts our feelings of fullness and satiety.
In one study, when subjects ate whole sliced apples they had greater feelings of satiety and fullness and ate 15% fewer calories during a subsequent meal. een when they ate an equivalent number of calories from apples in the form of apple sauce or apple juice.
Fiber content was controlled here as well between the apple slices and sauce. The sliced apples were peeled.
Eat more WHOLE FOODS - preferably intact.

FYI - always store your wool knitwear with cedar blocks or rings.
Or if you prefer to hang them, use cedar hangers (preferably ones that are meant for suit jackets with wider shoulders).
This will help keep the moths and bugs away.

it gives me no pleasure to say I've bought several nadaam sweaters and they all got holes almost immediately

This is quite honestly the best take I've read on AI👇
The most powerful tool in the world is worth nothing if you don't have the capability to use it.

Barring any emergencies, you are going to eat 2-3x per day for the rest of your life.
It's okay that not every meal is a culinary delight. You have lots and lots of chances to try again.

Top tier style advice:
Instead of doing just plain dress slacks considering incorporating something in a subtle menswear pattern or even texture.
Below you have glen check, pinstripe, and birdseye.
None of these patterns are heavy handed. They are understated. Easy to wear ey have a little bit of visual depth and dimension to your outfit without going over the top. Highly recommended.
