Yeah, that helps. I mean, that helps me a lot. The reason why I asked that, we just recorded an episode that we're going to, I think, release in a couple of weeks here. And we're talking about, it was two trainers and how we take a client, say like yourself, and the step, step one, what do we do? Step two, step three.

And one of the mistakes as a young early trainer we would make is, you know, sit down with a guy like you and go like, all right, here's your calories, here's your macros, eat these foods, and radically shift you from what you've done your whole life to all of a sudden something totally different.

And the reason why this doesn't work, now it may work temporarily, but why it doesn't work long term is it's so unrealistic from how you ate. And so what I do instead is, is I'd find out kind of how you ate and then I would make one or two tweaks. I'd go, okay, James, that's okay right there, but let's just add this to that. And that's better. Or, Let's eliminate this and trade that for that.

But keeping things similar, but slowly modifying in the direction of eating the way I need you to eat in order to hit these goals. Because if I don't do it that way, you do this like, oh, I could do this. I switch over. And then you're eating all these foods you're not used to eating and you're not seeing the results fast enough.

And eventually what happens is the client throws their arms up and say, well, F this. I don't look any better or feel any better than when I did three months ago, eating whatever the hell I wanted. And that was way less stress and less work. And then they go back the other direction. The other thing to consider is if

Eating in a calorie surplus and hitting our grams of protein and hoping to build our chest, but then we're doing activity like hit cardio and moving and trying to burn all the time, they're like conflicting goals. One of them is trying to burn and lose, lose, and the other one's to build muscle. And the body doesn't do that at the same time.

It's either anabolic, meaning it's trying to build muscle, or it's catabolic, it's trying to break down and burn body fat. And so we want to make sure the way we're eating and training kind of aligns so that you get the most out of your results.
