Walking briskly nearly every day is great for anti-aging and preventing heart disease. I think the whey protein shakes are safe and good for promoting muscle mass.
I'm addicted to caffeine. Not sure it's really that good for you.
Might add that low-fat diets are really important. Also, diet is really more important than exercise in keeping the pounds off:
Make sure you eat different sources of protein. Protein powder broken down in 30 min, beef takes 24 hours, chicken takes 12 hours and fish takes 6 hours
The idea behind multiple small meals like 6-8 is to keep your body constantly burning fuel. This raises your metabolism just by eating alone. The biggest secret is eating lots of green fibrous vegetables constantly throughout the day. Your body actually uses more energy to burn these veggies than it gives...thus negative calories
I saw an interview on TV, they ask an all natural bodybuilder champion his "secret "; his answer: Clean balanced diet, fruits, vegetables, natural proteins. A good balanced exercise routine, warm up, stretch, run, lift weights, more reps, full range of motion. Finally a good night of sleep, because if you do not get a good restful, replenishing night of sleep the other two things won't benefit as much as they should.
I'm a fan of Dr. Fuhrman's "eat to live" diet, although I don't follow it that well bc it's hard, but you sound very disciplined. His diet is based on getting the most nutrition per calorie. He argues that we should lower our calorie intake by having a plant based diet, have three big meals per day, and lower our metabolism to live longer, and age slower.
You don't get negative calories from eating green vegetables. You can dramatically lower your caloric intake by eating them vs other higher calorie foods, but eating a head of lettuce or stalk of celery doesn't require more energy to digest than you get from digesting it. There is some evidence to support cold water as being negative, but the amount of energy required to warm it is is minuscule.
Not saying veggies aren't good for you, just saying they aren't negative calorie. And I hate seeing that "Dr." Oz bullshit perpetuated.
I have no wrinkles and look 10-15 younger than my real age. No one believes me when I tell them I turn 60 in a few months. I still ski bumps and jump off things. I walk and carry my clubs and hike and rock climb. I look great, even though I recently suffered my first major sports injury since 2005 and need surgery. My secret? I am a glutton and I over eat. I smoke weed every day. I drink way too much. I sleep like crap and I work 60 -70 hours a week in a high stress job. Everyone is different.
