Hey, I’m Alykhan. My friends call me ALYG. I’m a number cruncher by day, author and blogger by night. Trying not to suck at life and sharing what I learn. My answers on topics ranging from health, fitness, and weight loss to personal finance, productivity, and self-improvement have been viewed over 500,000 times. My writing has been featured on popular publications such as Art+Marketingand Hacker Noon. And I’ve written and self-published three books: Calorie Counting Made Easy teaches you everything you need to know about how to set a weight loss goal and use MyFitnessPal to lose weight counting calories in less than five minutes a day. The Effort Matrix explains my multi-dimensional approach to productivity that centers on aligning your focus and efforts with your highest life priorities to maximize happiness. Crypto Newbie Gains is my quick-start guide to getting started with cryptocurrencies. I’ve always been intrigued by finance and technology. Cryptocurrencies combine the two while also creating one of the most exciting money-making opportunities of our lifetime. My ideas will resonate best with you if you’re like me: an introvert, math nerd, independent thinker, or any combination of these.
