On this solo episode of the podcast, I speak about the pressure to be robotic and regimented with nutrition both for fat loss and muscle gain. It doesn't have to be this way! Restriction does not equal success, and you don't need to feel deprived in order to drop body fat, gain muscle or reach your physique goals. Finding a way that works for you as an individual is going to ensure you won't burn out prematurely. You want longevity in this sport!
