7 WAYS TO STAY LEAN

In this episode, Eric breaks down the seven rules he personally follows to maintain roughly 12% body fat year round — without extreme dieting, endless cardio, or sacrificing quality of life.

These aren’t hacks.

They’re standards.

2. NEAT, steps, and low-stress calorie burn
3. Sleep as the foundation of hormone health
4. The 4-4-40 protein framework
5. Why chronic stress stalls fat loss
6. Strategic fasting vs religious fasting
7. The 80/20 principle for sustainable nutrition
8. Why perfection backfires long term
9. How to simplify instead of grinding harder
