Lol at the ‘get lean and still eat all the foods you want’ crowd who try and sell you the unrealistic dream .
But also let’s call out the bodybuilder douches who think boiled chicken and broccoli is the only way to get in shape and anything else is weak.
As always, the best approach for you is likely half way between the two but social media is a clusterf*ck of trying to be as controversial as possible in the desperate hope of followers.
When dieting I track calories meticulously and consistently. This might seem restrictive but it actually allows me to fit in the things I want to fit in, albeit less than usual, which is a sacrifice worth paying every now and then.
This level of focus also buys me the freedom to not track when I go on holidays or weekends away, such as Download last week.
I gained 2kg while away and then lost it all when I got back so no damage done and certainly not worth getting stressed over.
You just can’t eat like you’re on holiday year round. Who’d have thought?!
Anyway, I’m gigging tonight and tracking means I can fit a beer in.
I’ll drink to that.
Cheers 🍻
