My 5 Virtual Peers

They say you are the average of the 5 closest friends that you keep around you. If this is the case I thought that if I want to lose some weight and some of my friends are not in shape just like me how do I change my peer group without alienating my best friends?

So I started watching lots of YouTube videos on how to lose weight. And lots of YouTube videos on how to gain muscle strength. Some of the favorite videos that I've seen are by the same handful of YouTubers. So I subscribed to my favorite ones. Then I noticed it was about 5. Luckily for me, these 5 YouTubers have lots of content and tend to create lots of content very often. So it's almost like I'm talking with my friends because I see them every day and they always have something new to say. And since they're talking about Fitness and losing weight I've been getting used to the idea of losing weight and gaining strength in the way that my 5 virtual Friends on YouTube talk about.

Which I probably started but having my Bulletproof Coffee with Dave Asprey. And I lost a few pounds just from that and gained mental clarity in the morning. Then Greg at Kinobody taught me all about intermittent fasting. The Hodge Twins, Jeff Cavaliere and Elliot Hulse would be there working out with me while I'm on my Bowflex and I'm trying to do whatever it is that they were doing on the screen, while I made some gains.

So far I have gotten a lot stronger than when I started and lost 17 pounds but I am definitely aiming to for much more. Check out these guys and their channels and let me know what you think:

1. Dave Asprey

2. Greg O'Gallagher

3. Hodge Twins

4. Elliott Hulse

5. Jeff Cavaliere

So my overall idea and this article are that by keeping yourself surrounded with people who are interested in weight loss and fitness you will be kind of brainwashing yourself into improving your health just because of the peer pressure of your new virtual peers.
