After now many years of fitness training 💪following the "bro science"✌️ before eventually thinking outside of the mainstream narative, trial & error and simply going with my intuition.
I would like to give a few insights -
*Counting calories is BS -
1000Kcal of chocolate is not the same as eating 1000Kcal of apples. The whole calorie counting craze was made up by people wanting to make money with fad diets, allowing people to carry on eating processed sh*te but less of it and think they will lose weight 😭 most people on poor diets are lacking micronutrients (vitamins&minerals) therefore the body is in starvation mode and storing fat as a consequence, by eating less "empty" food they are merely making the condition worse. If you are eating whole foods - fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts n seeds, it's virtually impossible to get fat...
*Protein is a lie!!! -
Most protein powders (even plant based) are processed using a carcinogen called Hexane ☠️ as well as been highly contaminated with heavy metals. Not only that but our body cannot assimilate/process man made foods and purely sees them as toxins/threats to the body causing inflammation, nor can our body utilise anywhere near the amount of protein we have been led to believe it needs, thus eventually causing problems like kidney stones!!!
*Diet/training -
I would say diet is about 70% responsible for physique and only 30% training. "you can't out train a bad diet" I'm the fittest n healthiest now at 41 after been vegan 7 years and on a fairly strict whole food diet for the last 2/3 years. Gone are the days of eating a KFC thinking all the✌️protein✌️ would make me massive😂 no it just makes u fat 👍
*Intermittent fasting -
From my experience of various forms of daily intermittent fasting for the last 3 years including OMAD, I would say this is one of thee most powerful tools available for staying lean while maintaining muscle, having an abundance of energy and the miriad of health benefits that it promotes.
*Split training ("Bro splits"✌️)
Split body part training is not necessary. The body is one mechanism and to function the most ergonomically should be trained as a whole unit, this is how we have evolved, this gives more functional muscle performance. Training the whole body 3x per week intead of each part once per week stimulates more growth hormones, prevents overtraining individual body parts as well as allowing more flexibility and training sessions to be missed without worry.
