Nutrition made SIMPLE!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I wanted to delve deeper into the topic of nutrition. As I mentioned in my previous story, I have put together a crash course on "how to get shredded."

There's a widely circulated saying that goes: "80% nutrition and 20% fitness." If you push yourself incredibly hard during workouts but neglect your nutrition, you may still see some results. However, if you have a well-balanced weekly meal plan and remain consistent, you'll likely achieve even better results than if you indulge in unhealthy eating habits and train intensely every single day.

That used to be me, honestly. I used to train relentlessly every single day, but I would drink heavily on weekends and snack excessively throughout the day or eat out with friends. I had a decent physique, but I hit a plateau. I couldn't lower my body fat below a certain level, and it was driving me crazy.

It wasn't until I quit alcohol that I truly began to see myself getting shredded. Combining that with cutting out snacking and consistently eating healthy allowed me to finally reach a body fat level of 7-8%. I've maintained this level since December and even built more muscle.

Nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. I understand that cooking regularly can be challenging, especially if you have a job and work long hours. The last thing you want to do is cook. In the beginning, it may feel difficult, and you might prepare some less-than-stellar meals. But with time, you'll learn and improve. Your meals will start to taste good, and you may even enjoy cooking. I promise!

Stick to this simple nutrition plan: include one vegetable (such as spinach, broccoli, or tomatoes), one complex carbohydrate (like brown rice, sweet potato, or quinoa), and one source of protein (such as chicken, salmon, beef, or turkey).

Working out is crucial, but you can truly accelerate your results with a solid nutrition plan. Enjoy your Sunday and go after it!
