And now what I've just mentioned is what a common, uh, the common things that women in particular sacrifice under these guru diets that they get from these, uh, quote unquote physique coaches, uh, for years there, it was, you were just allowed to eat, uh, you know, white fish, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, broccoli, uh, you know, a little bit of, uh, uh, olive oil.

Those were kind of, that was the standard, uh, diet. And what happened was, is that obviously you would get incredibly hungry. Um, but people started suffering from, uh, what we call the female triad. They started suffering from micronutrient deficiencies, chronic calorie restriction, anemia, uh, which is a low iron, um, low calcium, uh, hypothyroidism, uh, those kinds of things were very common.

Uh, you know, especially in that competitive industry, the competitive dieters figure physique, bikini wellness, et cetera. And then what was a shame is, is that your soccer moms, your general population would see these women, these competitive stage physiques in the quote unquote best shape of their life and not understand what was going on behind the scenes.

All the things I just mentioned, all the health issues I just mentioned, plus depression and the medication that they have to take as a result, many of them are on thyroid medication and Um, and they don't see that. And then they, they embark on these journeys to follow these diets.

And then they start suffering from some of the same problems as sleep loss and the, uh, just the fatigue and depression. Uh, and I think it's, it's a shame. And a lot of the reasons why is they went into too big of a calorie deficit, too much cardio. Uh, and they started eliminating foods that were very important to maintain their health.

Uh, red meat's important for iron, obviously, uh, the egg yolk for biotin and choline for, you know, skin hair and nails and uh, fruits obviously are hugely important, the polyphenols for your health and, uh, and just all this over restriction and, and chronic, uh, uh, dieting started to result in all these health problems.

And I, I think that's why that, that industry gets a bad name and dieting in general gets a bad name because people were over restricting. I did it myself, you know, egg whites and, uh, tilapia and, um, too much cardio and I would lose way more muscle than I should have. And,

When I finally figured that out and started adding less fat when I was building muscle and then dieting off less muscle when I was dieting, when I was trying to get the best condition possible, I achieved a better level of fitness. I had more energy. I had maintained more muscle, which allowed me to get into better condition.
