How many times have we heard this one before, yet how many times do we disregard our health sitting on the couch vs going to the gym?

Or how about knowingly and continually eating things we know are bad for us?

I struggle with the eating part more than most. Having crohns disease my list of foods that mess with my digestion include : basically everything except chicken, fish, and rice! Even veggies can mess with me so you can imagine how quickly I go down hill eating anything with preservatives, modified sugars , etc.

I have to say that I'm grateful for bodybuilding preps and being forced to find clean, natural alternative foods and treats that can carry forward after in my day to day life. I SWEAR to you once you get in a groove and get used to the alternatives you'll forget all about the crap you find on the shelves. Have you tried chicken, rice, and natural peanut butter together? Even little hacks like this taste AMAZING and go a long way towards your health and future health.

Dm me and I'd love to chat about dietary changes we can make to get you living a healthier life right away and down the line!

Good lord ᴋᴀʏᴅᴇ ᴇᴀᴛᴏɴ] these pics are starting to giving away our age when is see “abba”!

Obviously a few years ago but this was the last time I had the pleasure of putting this guy on stage.

Kayde approached me for some help 6 weeks out from his show which I was happy to give. ᴋᴀʏᴅᴇ ᴇᴀᴛᴏɴ] is one of those guys though who walk around Damn near stage ready al year round so it was a pretty easy one.

Just wait until his next showing, bigger and better - classic or physique, I wouldn’t want to stand beside him!

Well I should probably post my own recent transformation.

This one went from a casual macro based cut for 8 weeks where I basically just made sure I hit my absurdly high protein goals but then ate what I’d normally eat just smaller portions.

A lot of Turkey bacon, beef, chicken now and then (trying to avoid knowing that the last 8 weeks would be nearly all chicken and white fish).

Then for carbs and fats peanut butter, toast with jam, oatmeal, rice, etc. Cheat meals 2x a week as well!

The the final 8 weeks gears change and it’s perfection (minus a weekly cheat meal until 4 weeks out). Chicken , white fish, rice , cream of rice (crohns issues I have to go only rice sometimes and even cut protein a bit), very few fats (crohns again 😐).

A bit of balance there. Marco based dieting / calories in calories out can definitely work for a more casual “realistic “ fat loss and I highly recommend it to my lifestyle clients.

But when it’s time to get serious for stage (8 weeks out is only if you’re already way ahead of the weight loss game) you need a perfectly structured, timed and diligent meal plan going.

If you’re looking to shed some weight in a hurry or hit the stage down the road, shoot me a DM and let’s chat!
