And if you don't, you can just be like you were five years ago and like you're going to be in five. Same shape you were in, making fucking bullshit excuses every time you meet a fit person. Dope. That's cool. I don't care. I think you look great either way. But you give a shit. So it's time for you to step up and do the shit or not. So well said.

Fuck. Yeah. Right. How long do you have? Uh, one is a meal frequency. I used to think that if you weren't eating every two hours, you're just an idiot. And that eating four meals a day was not the way to get jacked. Like about 800 studies later. And my own experience and tons of bodybuilders is like, Oh, actually, if you eat four times a day, you're almost certainly covering all of your bases.

That is a huge one. Um, Another one is the if it fits your macros thing is something that works really well on paper. Like if you just combine whatever foods you need and get your macros, you're good to go. But it turns out that eating mostly healthy foods, like kind of traditional bodybuilding clean foods, is such a huge energy leveler. And a huge reducer and controller of appetite.

Like if you have to eat a fuckload of broccoli and kale and a bunch of chicken and brown rice, you're just not like, you're not going to overeat that. Yeah. Good luck getting fat on that. 100%. No one's doing it. And so the idea that I can have potato chips and still succeed in my diet is cool.

And if you ignore the temptation of junk food to eat more of it and you ignore the hunger signaling part, it works. But the hunger signaling and that shit is real. And so... As I've been, when I matured more in the industry, I realized, you know, there is a reason that bodybuilders eat like they do.

And maybe we should all be eating a little bit healthier with more protein, more veggies and stuff like that. Even though it's not sexy, it's not super convenient. Sometimes if it's your macros, great. When you're in maintenance, when you're in bulk, and it's awesome when you're like, oh, fuck, I have to get some food in me somehow. Let me just do macros. That's cool.

But as far as like a sustainable thing that really causes change, eating meals that are high in veggies and fruits, whole grains, lean meats, healthy fats, all that bodybuilder shit. it really does produce results. And it's not a thing I want to admit. I wish we could just protein shake and Snickers bar our way into better physiques.

But unless you're fucking slamming a ton of semaglutide or something, it's much easier said than done.
