And when we start to create those benchmarks, it's a lot easier for me to see inputs and outputs. And then we can argue about, can you choke down 100 grams of carbs an hour? Because you're in my elite cyclist. You know, I think you'd be shocked. And how a lot of my athletes have changed their relationship around food because it serves their needs. It's not their identity around control.

And something that Julie and I have been very cautious of is if you have two daughters, speaking, we're really concerned about creating dysfunctional patterns or relationships to food. Because in this fitness space, it can be real gnarly.

Do you win... I mean, this is a great question I ask people. So like you shredded down super dysfunctional eating, can't go out and eat with friends. You don't drink anything with calories. Like it's really gnarly to be hyper lean. And then what I'll say is when you took your shirt off, did you win Instagram? Did you win? Because you got another 60, 70 years on this planet. How does that work?

We don't really diet. We'll manipulate macros to take weight off or put weight off players in season, out of season. We'll have really good athletes say, I think I should lose four pounds the next two weeks for this thing. And I'm like, hold up. I'm not going to put you in another stressor when we're trying to – like let's go ahead and talk about body composition after the season. But ultimately –

How many people have done some kind of 30-day, 90-day thing, and the next day it's like they're off the rails?
