My routine

This is my routine as of September 2026. It developed over time, and it will probably keep changing. I’m describing what I do, including independently managed peptide use—not providing a treatment plan for somebody else.

Food

  • Factor mealsPart of my regular eating routine

    Convenience matters when maintaining a routine.

  • ProteinTarget: 140 g daily

    A fixed target, rather than a calculation tied to each weigh-in.

Movement

I started with whatever walking distance I could manage and built up from there. This is where I am now.

  • Morning walkTwo miles daily

    I get up at 5 a.m.

  • Strength trainingA couple of times a week

    Already part of the routine; building muscle will become a bigger focus later.

  • Evening cardioAbout 30 minutes, most nights

    “Most nights” is the accurate version.

Fasting

I follow an 18:6 schedule Sunday through Friday, then a longer fast over the weekend.

This describes my current practice. Extended fasting, particularly alongside diabetes or medication use, deserves individual medical guidance rather than being copied from someone’s website.

  • Regular eating windowSix hours, with eighteen hours fasting, Sunday through Friday
  • Weekend fastFriday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at noon—forty hours

Compounds

The following list is current as of September 24, 2026. TRT is prescribed. My peptide use is independently managed.

Listing these together doesn’t establish that the combination is safe or that every item contributed to my results. I’ll explain my reasons for each separately.
