"What does a perfect day of eating look like?" That's what I searched on Google. I found an article about keeping your metabolism up all day long. Developing a consistent routine of healthy habits is essential for long-term fitness success. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or simply feel better, these Registered Dietitian tips might help you out. Or they might not... let's find out together as I read through the article with you.

On today's #Unscripted episode of the podcast, I share my thoughts on their idea of a "perfect" human diet. I followed this diet for a full day and also created a YouTube video about the experience. The video features recipes, macros, stretching-routines, and more.

My YouTube Video on the Perfect Diet

Video Description: This is what a perfect day of eating looks like according to registered dietitians. Lose weight, build muscle, and boost metabolism with delicious meals. Including healthy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. *How many Calories you should consume will vary for everyone, but a Calorie deficit is essential for weight loss.

"What happens if I stop intermittent fasting and start eating gluten again?" That's a scary question I asked myself while overcoming years of fad-diets and fitness myths. I used to scoff at people who ate carbs for breakfast instead of drinking BCAAs and doing fasted cardio. Before studying real research and becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, I was preaching the gospel of alternative health.

"Skip breakfast. Avoid carbs. Drink butter coffee. Go against the scientific consensus." It's punk rock for health fanatics. Meanwhile, most of my friends were perfectly healthy, and my morning routine was taking way too long... plus I was getting hangry! (Could've used a Snickers. Tehehe.)

On today's #Unscripted episode of the podcast, I share a bit of my story. Specifically, how I came to terms with some simple truths about fitness. This journey can be simple. It won't be easy, but at least let it be simple. Here's how.
