Fitness is 30 percent exercise and 70 percent diet.
What is fitness ? Fitness for what? Fitness for a hike up Kilimanjarol or fitness for 21k. Or do you just want to be fit enough to be pain free. I’ve argued against the use of random percentages. If you have tendinitis of the knee, isometric exercises and quadricep extensions are 100 percent the solution. If you want a stronger neck, you need to be doing rows. It’s not possible to assign arbitrary percentages to habits and activities. They all matter. They all feed into each other.
If its the attention you give to each habit. I propose time spent on prepping for a task. You need to spend around 45-90 minutes a day on eating and prep. And you need 45-60 minutes on exercise. That pretty looks like an equal split right? Not 30-70 by any measure.
Point no. 10: 99 percent of people don’t need to consume multi-vitamins .
He’s not wrong. Most multivitamins suck. But that’s because they contain terrible and rather poor versions of magnesium, iron, zinc and whatever other micronutrients they continue.
Here’s a more nuanced breakdown by examine.com:

There is a time and place for multivitamins. Taking a multivitamin is no excuse to not work on your food selection and portion control. It’s best to see a targeted, good vitamin/mineral strategy as the cherry atop the proverbial cake of good eating.
13. To lose weight, dieting is more important than working out.
This feels like an extension of point 2. You train for muscle and strong bones. You don’t exercise to burn calories. In this perspective, you train to improve body composition. You maintain a calorie deficit with increased protein intake to retain lean mass (that training stimulates) and let the body burn through your existing energy stores.
So you find a way to make time and pay attention to all the habits needed for good quality of life.
