Why you shouldn’t eat whatever you want.

by

Question comes in from a reader after my email about Roger Federer’s diet yesterday:

“If Roger Federer is doing this diet, how can it be bad? He’s been at the top of his game for decades, so clearly it’s not a problem.”

You are absolutely right.

He has been at the top of his game for decades, and his diet is clearly working…

But here’s what you have to understand.

Roger Federer is a top level athlete. When he eats ‘whatever he wants’ that is still healthier than 99% of people. He’s basically eating clean 95% of the time because he WANTS to. Because that’s the food he enjoys. (Probably because it makes him feel good.)

You and Roger Federer are not the same.

You are probably more like me. A normal average dude who wants to get a sixpack and some big biceps. And if you’re like me, when you ‘eat whatever you want’ you eat pizza, chocolate, and ice cream all day.

So ‘eat whatever you want‘ AKA ‘If It Fits Your Macro’s‘ is TERRIBLE advice for you.

Because it’s going to make you fat.

And that’s why I would 1 never follow this approach myself, and 2 never teach it to any of my clients. Because I care about your health more than your looks. (Even if you don’t.)

Like I said yesterday,

My program will make you a lot sexier, and that’s still the main goal, but I couldn’t live with myself if you had to get there while ruining your health in the process.

If you don’t care about your health, my program is not for you.

Frankly, my emails are not for you. So you should probably unsubscribe right now.

If you do, however…

And you want to not only be healthier, but also become sexier while doing so?

Then my program is for you.

Spots are opening up on the 1st of Februari. So get on the waitlist while you still can.

Send me a reply if you want on.

Roger Federer’s Secret to longevity.

by

On this day in 2018, Roger Federer beat Marin Cilic in the Australian Open finals to win his 20th Grand Slam Title.

He went on to win 103 single titles and 8 doubles before retiring on September 15th 2022.

Impressive to say the least.

According to ‘manofmany.com’, this is what his diet looks like:

“Put simply, the dude kind of eats whatever he wants. Yes, that entails plenty of healthy foods such as whole grains, fruits, lean meats, and veggies, but it also makes room for waffles, pasta, cheese, chocolate, ice cream, and decadent dishes from around the world. Pretty much the opposite of vegan, Federer’s diet thrives on variety.”

Now, I don’t know about you, but that reminds me of the popular bodybuilding ‘diet’ where you also eat pretty much whatever you want.

It’s called ‘If It Fits Your Macro’s’. Ever heard of it?

yeah…

I hate it.

Listen, if your sole purpose is to lose or gain weight. And you don’t care about anything else except your looks. Fine. Do it.

But stop reading these emails.

Because you’re not going to like what I have to say.

If you care about your health, at all. Even if just a little bit. And you have some common sense inside your big brainy head… You would know that a ‘diet’ where you eat junk food just because it ‘fits in your calories’ is not good for your health.

Sure,

You might lose or gain weight while eating it. You might even lose or gain a lot.

But weight is not everything.

You could have 2 men, same height, same age, same everything. Both weigh 85 Kg. Except one has abs of steel, the other has lot’s of visceral fat.

Now which one is healthier?

The one with the abs of steel of course.

Now, IIFYM-bro’s would say both are equally healthy?

I call BS.

And that’s exactly what I teach my students inside my training program.

Inside, I teach them that it’s very possible to start a diet, burn fat, but gain muscle at the same time, so your weight stays the same.

That’s why I make them do something I call ‘the mirror test’.

(I basically hold a gun to their head to force them to take a daily progress picture to track their progress.)

Okay, the gun part is not true.

But it’s very effective.

Because after all that’s what truly matters. How you look in the mirror. That’s what you see every day.

Your weight is going to fluctuate throughout the day. How you look isn’t.

So don’t get attached to your weight.

Use your eyes.

I don’t know how I got here after talking about Roger Federer. but here we are.

So, if you’re interested in my program.

Send me a reply and I’ll put you on the waitlist.
