the article is more about getting your shit together than what a healthy lifestyle actually is. if you have another 20 minutes, i would highly recommend this, which covers the basics of exercise and nutrition.

the problem today is that there is so much misleading information that even if you're motivated you'll still waste your time and effort taking useless supplements and using dumb products when you can see much better results in your health much more easily.

Can't put enough emphasis on NOT doing this. It's expensive, and when you're not receiving the advertised effects of these "super-sups," they will completely demotivate you. I do use protein in powdered form, and will sometimes use a pre-workout, but I don't depend on either.

TL;DR - Eat right. Exercise. See results.
