Now while I follow many principles when it comes to eating, there is often a disconnect between priorities and what people deem to be the 'most important'. In my opinion there are a lot of aspects important for a optimal diet. The two most vital in my eyes is the quantity and quality. We all know without the right amount of food you won't be able to properly gain muscle/lose fat, but I am a firm believer that the quality of nutrients should be the best you can get.
The goal is to keep the staples of your diet (chicken, red meat, pork, eggs, milk, produce) as quality as you can. Your body will thank you, but more importantly your mind will also. I heard a long-time trainer once say 'when I stopped eating solely for my body and started to eat for my mind, I ended up with a much better body'. So make sure to keep those main items fresh, whole, and organic.
Something I'd really like to see via studies (although the complexity of this isn't necessarily feasible financially) would be to test the performance and progress of someone fitting any kind of food into their macros vs. someone who kept the nutrients fresh and whole.
Plus there is just a 'feel' factor. Whether that be placebo or real (or a lil bit of both) you feel good when your eating the best available nutrients out there. You have better energy, less bloating, I even feel like my movement in general is more fluid and efficient.
What if I told you there's this magic pill where you can eat more, boost your metabolic rate, and keep fat off while gaining muscle? Would you take it?? I bet 90% would, hell I would myself!!!
So bad news first, there is no pill, supplement or even drug that will accomplish for you. However, PhD scientist Layne Norton has developed a systematic approach called reverse dieting. Now here's the thing, I have seen its success first hand on myself, and have witnessed it between multiple clients and competitors; yet it's success rate isn't through the rough. Because unlike the non-existent magic pill it requires methodical adherence, accuracy, and consistency that most people don't have the dedication to sticking to it. I put this on here because I know most of you reading my posts have a different type of mindset, so please check this E-book out and give reverse dieting a try!! P.S this works especially well for those post-competition or those who have been dieting down/in a caloric deficit for some time.
