Most busy professionals want to lose belly fat, build muscle, and feel more confident, but they often get lost in the noise of fad diets and conflicting advice. This episode breaks down everything…
Now, before we start speaking about what the best diet is to lose body fat or build muscle, pillar number one is going to be just control your food environment.
The reality is if a food is in your house, sooner or later, it's going to be eaten.
And now, why is that? Why is it so easy to gain weight at Christmas time? It's because when there's tins of roses, when there's lots of carbohydrates, when there's lots of sugar lying around in the kitchen, okay? If the food is there, sooner or later, you're going to eat it.
As I was saying to one of the dads who was working with us, he said he's trying to encourage his children to eat healthy, but they spend a lot of time with their granny's house.
And his granny, or granny as they call her, she's more old-fashioned, okay? And she doesn't believe in any of these diets, and she believes in just feeding everyone so they don't go home hungry.
And if you're a man or a woman listening to this, and you have a family, You may need to have a conversation with your partner or with your significant other and just say, look, this is what we're going to do anymore.
And if it's not possible for you to completely eliminate some of those trigger foods, at least store them out of sight, out of mind.
What that might mean is that rather than putting the biscuits on the kitchen table, why not put them in the back of the presser where you cannot see them or where there's more resistance? Also, the opposite is true, okay? From a practical perspective, keep fruit, keep water, keep protein sources visible because it's going to encourage you to eat more of those foods consistently, okay? So the reality is, though, you cannot out-train or out-diet your environment.
