I had a really interesting conversation with a client today about why it's the norm for coaches to prescribe ultra low calories and hours upon hours of cardio for those looking to get in shape and/or compete in bodybuilding. Why, she asked, did she go through all of that hell with her former coaches only to feel like crap and look less than her best? She cut carbs, took water pills, and worked out with no A/C in the gym... and burned away her muscle. Was she just not trying hard enough?

Here's the thing: just because something is the norm doesn't make it right.

If you're feeling sh*tty doing something, is it really worth it? If you're trying to lean out and going to extremes in the name of health, doesn't that defeat the purpose of it all?

There's no need to cut carbs. Eat your freakin' potatoes and rice so you can have some energy. Don't make cardio your part-time job.

If the goal is to lose fat, you should be eating as much as possible and doing as little exercise necessary in order to elicit the desired results. Slow progress that you can sustain is far better than fast yet fleeting progress. Make tweaks to your program only when absolutely warranted.

The harder you push, the harder the rebound. The faster you lose weight, the more muscle mass you may lose.

Dieting doesn't have to suck.

Smarter, not harder.

This is the basic tool one should use in determining the level of importance any aspect of nutrition should count for. These days many are ignoring the baseline factor of OVERALL ENERGY BALANCE. Nutrition can, and must, change based on various lifestyle factors, but one cannot lose fat without being in an energy deficit, and one cannot gain muscle without being in a surplus.
