Three main things to focus on. You're just getting started in this rank prioritized order 1. Sleep 2. Exercise 3. Nutrition if you sleep well, you're going to move well. You're also going to be less likely to cater to sugar cravings if you move well. And research has shown this that people who exercise automatically make healthier food choices throughout the day. There is such a thing as hyper compensation, where some people will overcompensate for exercise by eating too many calories. But for the most part, if you start off your day with some type of movement session, you're more likely to eat healthy the rest of the day because you gain momentum.
And one guy literally saw all night life problems. She's like you fly at midnight and you sleep the first eight hours and then it takes another 12 hours to get there. You get there around 2pm, go outside right away, get the sun in and then cool yourself down in a cold shower. And then by the time it's like 9pm you're ready to go on their time zone. You sleep probably at least 10 hours and you're good right.
