When most people think about changing their diet or their eating, they think about losing body fat or building muscle.
But did you know diets can have profound impacts on many things related to your health and other aspects of performance? We're going to talk about the five best diets for almost any goal. In other words, which diet is best for the different goals that we often have in our life? Let's go.
Choose your weapon. I love this conversation because this was something, and it was not until later on in my training career did I start to do with my clients where I took them through all, for the most part, most of the popular diets, regardless if they really wanted to or not, because I found it as incredibly valuable to- Reviewing.
Yeah, and revealing to them how each of them affected them differently and the pros and cons and realizing that there's going to be periods in your life where one way of eating makes more sense than another way. And when you look at how I know how we all personally eat, and we've been asked this, well, what kind of diet or how do you guys eat? Well, it changes.
There's times in my life when I'm getting after it and I'm trying to build and I'm focused on gaining and I'm eating a certain way. Then there's other times when I'm not doing a lot. And so I'm trying to maintain and not really lose. And then there's times where I got to be sharp. And every time I've got a different focus or goal, my diet slightly gets modified and changes.
