Another four amazing points from this man... unlike the media yesterday with its fat consumption comments!
1. The body requires protein, fats and carbohydrates for optimum function. ALL of them will help illicit fat loss and positive adaptation of the body. You take one away the body adapts but in a negative fashion (if health, performance and composition are your goals).
2. Expect to go backwards before you go forward in many cases.
For the reasons mentioned its much like how an injury and rehab work. The injured joint will almost always get worse before it gets better. This unfavourable reaction is sadly the reason so many revert back to their old ways. Going forward is often just getting what you need done, done.
3. Being an all or nothing when it comes to diet is a bad approach for anyone. Restricting yourself to a level that creates huge feelings of deprivation will at almost all times be followed by periods of binging. Eating at a perceptive 75% year round will yield far better results than eating 100% 5 days a week then having a blow out at weekends. The foods we resonate towards will be the high sugar, high salt calorie dense foods. Add in the psychology of it this becomes a disordered eating pattern, validated as a 'cheat day' or not.
4. Being analytical is good but at what stage does food become stringent numbers and an obsessive thing. If the ingestion or restriction of food is always present in your mind you can never expect the desired outcome of self regulation and a good relationship with food.
