Diet tip from someone who got tired of thinking about food all day. I get a lot of questions about the best diet to follow in and out of the gym. In reality, I maintain a simple and effective diet. Not because I have to. Because it works.
Most people make dieting harder than it needs to be. Endless recipes, new diets every month, "snack this," "protein bar that," chasing a dopamine hit every two hours, and getting stressed when they miss the window. Then they wonder why nothing sticks; the truth is boring. The fewer choices you have to make, the more traction you get.
There’s plenty of research around habits and decision fatigue. The more decisions your brain has to make in a day, the worse you get at making them. So instead of trying to stay motivated all the time, just remove the decisions.
Most weeks my food looks about the same. (LAWD HE IS COMING)
42 eggs
About 7 lbs of potatoes
8–9 cups of green beans
1 lb Greek yogurt
1 gallon whole milk
5–6 cups mixed berries
1 lb cheese
Currently consuming two big meals a day. Intermittent fasting. Nutrient-dense. Filling. Done. And before someone says it, yes, I enjoy my food. But here’s the shift: I don’t invest a lot of emotion into food.
Food is neither entertainment nor therapy and shouldn’t control my thoughts all day. It fuels my training, my state of mind, and my overall health. Training produces the result.
Do I still have treats? Sure. Lately it’s a pint of protein ice cream made with a NINJA Creami, Fairlife milk, crushed Oreos, Splenda, and sugar-free pudding mix. But the base stays the same because simplicity builds habits, and habits build results.
July 4th is about 16 weeks away! That’s more than enough time to completely change how you look and feel.
If you want help dialing it in, DM me the word “SUMMER.” I’ll show you exactly how we do it.
