All right guys we’re going to be talking about diet super popular topic seems like everywhere I’m going every almost any interaction I go into at some point someone’s diet always comes up so much noise on you know different types of diets you know fasting keto um you know
Carnivore diet you know all these different types of diets out there so um for me I try to keep it super super simple um I don’t try to overthink it um and just try to stick with with what works so for me I basically do um a version of intermittent fasting um it’s
Something I’ve been doing I know that’s kind of like a hot craze right now but um I’ve been basically doing intermittent fasting I think since I got into college um we just I just never ate breakfast and was never really interested in it um and back in the
College days you know you’re tied on money or whatever it may be so breakfast never really was an option so I just kind of got used to never really having breakfast um and that has carried with me but um it’s a version of intermittent fasting so I’ll normally have my first
Meal around noon or 1 p.m. um and I’ll go into the detail what what types of food I eat and then again I’ll normally eat U my dinner time around 6 or 7 um sometimes 8 but in that window of um from 6: to 8 basically so um one me my
My lunch um at noon to 1 and then dinner from around 6:00 to 800 somewhere in there and then from 8:00 p.m. obviously until noon to 1 the next day basically not getting any food in my system um I’m not perfect I mean that’s generally my ideal schedule I mean nobody’s
Perfect but you know sometimes you slip a snack in there if you know someone at the office brings in some cookies or whatever I mean I’ll I’ll have a cookie here and there but when I’m on it ideally one two meals a day um the first
One at noon the second one at around 700 um what I’m eating I mean it really depends I mean if I’m trying to really lean out watch my diet um I’ll do like a meal prep program um through a company I don’t make this myself um there used to
Be a company in Southern California was lean Feast um I think they were replaced by a company called fueled in Corona um and what they have it’s basically just you order meals and it’s you could get either 4 o of protein 6 o of protein or 8 O of protein with like a
Cup of carbs and a cup of veggies um so if again if I’m trying to really lean out like for the summer or something like that try to lose a little bit little bit of weight um I’ll do that and I’ll do the 4 oz option um so I’ll
Basically have that 4 oz of protein for lunch a cup of carbs and a cup of veggies and and then for Jen are the same thing 4 o of protein 4 o of carbs 4 o or excuse me 4 o of protein a cup of
Carbs and a cup of veggies um for dinner and again that’s when I’m really trying to lean out and that that is hard to to stay to that that program that’s a very limited amount of food you could do that for like two or 3 months that’ll get you
Really lean um if you’re already in good shape that’ll get you really lean leaned out um and looking good but that’s not a diet for personally that’s not a diet that’s sustainable that’s like hey I want to I want to you know lean out I
Want to dial in my look here um if you’re bigger and you’re looking to lose weight um yeah you could stick on that you’re probably going to have to stick on that for a longer period of time and mix in your exercise to start losing weight till you get to a weight where
You’re where you’re good to maintain to maintain where you’re at but again that’s if I’m trying to lean out um my everyday life um you know normally with my diet um I’ll stick to that same schedule the intermittent fasting first meal at noon second meal at you know 7
Or 8 um but I’ll mix that up when I’m not trying to to focus and and really lean out um and I’ll you know I’ll go out and just try to eat healthier foods uh not healthier foods kind of healthier foods but um you know like a typical
Lunch in and out I’ll get a a double double protein style um with a Flying Dutchman which is basically two two patties two cheeses and you know you get the burger protein salad no buns I don’t order any fries or anything like that so that could be a
Typical lunch um for me or something similar to that I’ll talk about some alterations to some of some of my favorite meals that I do U but that’s one and then for dinner honestly I’ll you know I’ll usually go to the gym after work around 5 6:00 so I’ll get my
Workout in then I’ll go home I’ll just go to um Ralphs and get like a a 14 to 16 oz ribey um and I’ll fry that up and that’ll be my dinner and that’s it just a ribeye no no sides no carbs no veg no nothing just straight 14 to 16 ounces of
A of a steak for dinner um so that’s a that’s like a typical day for me so some sort of lunch where I try to really limit um you know carbs are kind of that nasty food um a lot of protein in there so like that in and out um I’ll go to
Chipotle fine with that um I’ll go to like Jersey M but instead of getting a sub I’ll get like the solid version of the sub where they basically put all the same Meats on a on a base um of lettuce um I’ll do like Farmer Boy
Salads um for lunch um what else Flame Broiler um now you’re getting some carbs in there with the with the rice um and all that on C on some of these meals which again I’m not a a super against carbs I mean if you’re keeping it clean you know rice potato
Um something like that that I don’t think carbs are that terrible I think when you’re dipping into eating massive amounts of bread um I think you’re starting to dip into some trouble as far as keeping some weight on and that so um at least that’s
For me guys this is just for me and what works for me so I noticed that if I start going hard on bread man I’ll start to to blow up and start gaining some weight so lunch you know Inn out jersey miks Farmer Boys Chipotle Flame Broiler
Wob Grill um something to that effect um and and eliminating the bread from those meals and then for dinner just a steak I mean literally just a 14 15 oce steak um for dinner and that’s a typical day and that’ll kind of keep me keep me where I’m at um right now I’m
About 200 lb um you know if I wanted to get a little bit bigger or build a little bit more muscle um start just adding some more food you can eat a little bit more if you’re trying to do that right now I’m pretty happy with her
Where I’m at so I’m kind of like going to maintain stage um and then you know I’ll probably at some point try to bulk that up a little bit over the next couple months probably get up to like 205 210 I’m not just be eating more more
Of what I just said not necessarily adding different things but just more volume of that um and then um probably in like the spring summertime I’ll probably try to lean out a little bit and get get really strict on the diet for like two or 3 months um get really
Good definition and all that sort of stuff so that’ll be in the summer and that really limited diet that’s that that meal prep program that I talked but I could get by I could survive on my normal meals of what I just described I don’t feel
Hungry um I don’t feel like I’m not eating or I’m not satisfied when I eat you know you get to try try the the double double protein style The Flying Dutchman and if you’re still hungry after that then you know you probably have bigger problems than that um but
You know I’m used to eating this way I’ve been doing it for a long time and it works it works for me uh but again I’m not perfect on the weekends man I can go out and and you know order a bigger meal like on a Friday or Saturday
Or Sunday so it’s not about being perfect all the time but just being you know doing good most of the time throwing in a day here and there where you’re you know not eating great right I mean don’t beat yourself up about it um unless your goal is to really lean out
Then you really can’t have any of those cheat days in my opinion and you can’t have any of those kind of snack meals throughout the day at least for me um especially when I’m trying to lean out I I can notice that you know if I’m if I’m
Sticking to that meal prep plan but I’m cheating a little bit and dude it doesn’t take much like a bag of chips here and some cookies there those calories add up quickly and I’ll notice that that weight doesn’t fall off as fast as it normally would um so that’s
Me that’s what works for me um you know not super complicated try to avoid sugars um for me try to avoid sugars um try to avoid bread avoid alcohol I haven’t drank in nine months that’s a different story but not drinking alcohol is huge from for my fitness and kind of
Body composition for a lot of reasons um obviously cause a bunch of empty calories and I could go out and drink 15 beers at night um and that 2,000 calories and empty just empty dead calories that you’re putting on and then of course you’re drunk so you’re going
To you know want to get get those drunchies get that you know get that D Taco on the way home from the bar or whatever it is and then of course that next morning you’re going to feel like and what’s the cure for that or at
Least for me the cure for that door dashing a big ass breakfast um eating even more stuffing myself to you know let that food absorb the alcohol and then of course if you do that you’re basically your your workout is shot you’re not going to work out on Saturday
Or Sunday and you’re basically going to be lazy the rest of the day um so I’m cutting out the sugar cutting out bread cutting out alcohol uh three major components basically the main major main components of what I do if I could just not eat those three things I’m feeling
Pretty good about where I’m at um um anything processed you know chips don’t you want to avoid um anything that you basically Buy in a box from the store that’s not a real food you want to avoid so keep it to to like Whole Foods or natural foods steak potato rice um
Anything that’s not processed like a cheese it you can’t find a Chee it in the wild you know um you can’t find a chip that’s all has to be made in some sort of factory fact um you know keep it to the chicken egg you know things that
Are real Foods um that I call them so um yeah that’s basically where I’m at um with the diet so I’m feeling pretty good about where I’m at currently again about 200 lb and look pretty in my opinion look pretty even at that look pretty you know muscular and not carrying any extra
Weight around my midsection which for me is always the Killer I mean at any given time even if I’m if I’m putting on a little bit of weight you know usually I’m pretty satisfied like without my chest and my arms and legs lick but I’ll just start putting it in around my lower
Belly and that’s where I I feel like I carry most of my weight especially that that excess calories just right on that lower belly just a little Pooch right there that I hate I can’t stand having that um so that’s why generally I I like to stay leaner and not do those
Bulks where I’m getting a little bigger overall all because a lot of the times yeah my muscles are getting bigger and my arms and my chest and my back will be getting broader but man I’ll carry a lot of just that extra weight right on that lower belly and I I hate that
Look um so again there’s no perfect solution everybody’s bodies are different I get that um you know everyone just has different needs for what they what they you know where they are but for me super easy to follow the plan that I just laid out um
I don’t feel hungry when I’m on this plan and I could look good so I just try to keep it simple um and you are allowed to go out and go to dinners with your friends and eat and eat off a regular menu it’s not like you’re so
Strict or you can’t enjoy life um or enjoy any of those things so and I think that’s probably the most important thing about a sustainable diet is just finding something that you like and that you can stick to because yeah any of these diets that most people are doing will work um
If you’re sticking to them but can you stay on that diet oh I’m going to do this super crazy keto diet for 3 months and yeah you’ll probably see some results but can you continue your keto diet honestly for the rest of your life
Um where if your goal is to be fit for the rest of your life you’re you’re you know you’re going to need to keep that so that’s I’m not a real fan of those kind of phase diets um it’s a little cliche and corny but it’s it’s more of
Like lifestyle diet um so find something that you like for me that’s the diet I like so high protein low carb um carbs AR aren’t the worst thing I’ll eat carbs but I’m not like a carbs or the enemy guy um for the mo I mean carbs are the
Enemy but I’m not but rice potato are good just not massive amounts of pasta and bread for me again this is my opinion you know a lot of people might disagree and again I’m not a bodybuilder trying to be 240 lbs with just massive muscle there’s nothing against that that’s super impressive
Those guys that can do that and get big like that and just be huge amount of dedication and hard work and you know that you need to achieve that is certainly impressive but that’s not the look that I’m going for at least right now maybe one day you know I’ll wake up
And say I just want to get huge um but right now no I’m I’m more of a a a a of a fitness like a body and a diet that I feel like I can maintain for a very long time like the way I look like the way I
Feel and just keep that going for for a long amount of time without it going through these crazy ups and downs and fluctuations of weight um for me the diet that I’m on too man I feel good on it man I out don’t know what you
Would classify that diet kind of like a not a keto cuz I me EA and carbs and not a full carnivore but a lot of meat in my diet and I feel great I mean I’m 31 um physically probably feel the best I felt probably in my entire life um you
Know even better than you know when I was young High School age and everyone a lot of people refer to that as like their Peak Fitness for a lot of people or Peak like feeling I feel great where I’m at um so but for me that works me OB
Having a lot of different issues with my gut um gut pain in all sorts of different areas I had some gut inflammation like around my body I’ll I’ll share some pictures of this but sh about two years ago I was drinking a lot more and I was eating like I really
Wasn’t on the fitness path that I was on now and I had my entire like um lower body lower abdomen basically inflamed and swelled up looked like I gained like 20 30 lbs overnight it wasn’t actual weight I didn’t gain weight it was like just like flabby like fluid buildup in
My abdomen and went to the even went to the doctor for that they C they CT scanned me ultrasound me everything like organs looked good I’m like well how do you like what the is this this fluid buildup not have it showed up on a
Scan um to be honest they didn’t have an answer they’re like oh you might be like having a reaction to something where you swelled up or whatever um what I Drew from that it was just something in my diet because over time that eventually went away and I couldn’t
Necessarily pinpoint it but when I would eat certain foods or I was eating I continue to eat kind of shitty after that still you think that’d be a wakeup call but at certain times maybe after night of drinking or whatever it may be I get that same fluid build up I’m like
All right I need to I need to clean it up and ever since I’ve had a clean diet um no inflammation has come back back my my abdomen hasn’t swelled up like it has in the past um and like I said I feel great um
So um I’ll go into some of the gut issues that I was having um you know later on there’s actually something I found that um my brother actually turned me on oh brother actually turned me on too that worked has worked really well for me called tudka um I’ll
Probably go into a review about tudka but tudka combination of exercise cleaning up my diet taking TKA man my gut issues are are totally solved I was having daily non-stop pain in all certain different areas of my of my abdomen um and you know Incorporated um those things and basically have taken
Care of all that so probably ranting a little bit right now um but I tend to do that so it but yeah so I’ll wrap it up that’s where I’m at though um keep it clean you know get rid of all the get all the
Su get rid of all the sugars get rid of all the the chips the processed food all that um clean carbs clean proteins eat twice a day intermittent fast um you know you’ll probably see some results from that so you will see some results from that I guarantee it keep
Your portions in control I mean any diet man if you’re going crazy crazy portions on it you’re GNA gain weight so um you know control your portions um avoid all the negative or bad you can eat and keep it [Laughter] Clean I
