The 75 Hard Protocol

The podcast discusses the 75 Hard Protocol, which is a 75-day challenge involving a set of five critical rules. The hosts mention that while many people choose to complete this challenge for improved health, it is not considered a balanced tool. The first rule of the protocol is to follow a healthy nutrition plan without alcohol or cheat meals. The hosts propose a more sustainable alternative, recommending a diet that includes adequate protein and fiber while avoiding unnecessary restrictions. The second rule is to do two 45-minute workouts daily, with one being outdoors. The hosts suggest incorporating daily movement into routines but highlight that such intense workouts may be challenging to maintain long-term. The third rule is to drink a gallon (or three liters) of water per day, which the hosts consider reasonable for those who are physically active. The fourth rule is to read 10 pages from a non-fiction personal development book daily. The hosts emphasize that it should be a book that promotes holistic health. Lastly, the fifth rule is to take progress pictures, which the hosts discuss as a means of tracking physical changes and progress over time.
