BEcoming RELENTLESS

EP 133: Fasting, Food Obsession, and Losing Motivation: The Hard Truth


Listen Later

In this episode of Becoming Relentless, I’m answering the questions most athletes think about but rarely say out loud. From fasting and food obsession to losing motivation mid-prep, this conversation dives into both the real mental and physical side of bodybuilding.

You’ll hear my take on whether fasting is actually useful during prep, why you might feel obsessed with peanut butter or food in general, and what to do when motivation drops or progress feels stagnant. I also open up about the lessons I’ve learned as both a competitor and coach... like what I thought I wanted in the beginning, and what I’ve realized actually matters for long-term growth.

If you’re chasing results in the gym or trying to stay consistent through tough seasons, this one’s for you. Expect honesty, mindset tools, and perspective shifts that will challenge how you define progress.

Topics Covered:

  • Fasting in bodybuilding prep

  • Food obsession and cravings

  • Motivation dips and mental fatigue

  • Redefining progress as an athlete

  • Emotional growth through competition

Tune in for a mix of science, psychology, and straight talk, all about staying relentless through every phase of your fitness journey.
