Is dieting unhealthy?

Losing weight  

⚠️No! If you have an exit strategy then in my professional opinion no dieting for weight loss isn’t unhealthy

 

Example: If you are going to compete, don’t go head in. PLAN 16 weeks out “this had to be drilled into me because I enjoyed aggressive preps which fucked me over in the end.” 

So diet down, if your caloric intake per day is 5000kcal comfortably then start with 5000kcal and remove 500g every 2nd day or every week so when stage day comes you should not be starving (be honestly you are cause your body is not used to 1000kcal). 

 

Then lots of athletes has after “stage blues” where they go into depression because they’ve spent all these weeks losing weight for a few minutes on stage and that is that….

 

My advise have a post competition day or post weight loss goal, if you’re competing then reverse diet is your goal post comp; so you dieted down from 5000kcal to 1000kcal, so now you diet up from 1000kcal back up to 5000kcal with the same space gap you used to diet down, you you removed 500g per week then add back 500g per week. 

 

Once you are back up to 5000kcal per day now you add in 1  cheat meal per week when you’ve mastered this for a month or 2 and your body is only looking better then choose have a cheat day or 1 cheat meal per day…. 

 

If your body doesnt agree with your 1 cheat meal after the month continue with the one day until your body submits to you because remember YOU ARE STILL TRAINING. 

 

Now if you do not have the strength or discipline to reverse diet then go all in 😄 that brings us to the next part of this conversation….

 

 

Gaining weight

 

⚠️No! If you have an exit strategy then in my professional opinion no dieting for weight gain isn’t unhealthy

 

To gain weight can be as hard as it is to lose weight and not everyone likes to hear this; But lemme tell you, there are people in this world with super fast metabolisms and that makes it difficult for them to pick up weight cause they feel like they have a bottomless pit in their stomachs but your face hurts of eating all the damn time and the toilet schedule 💩🚽…..

 

So go all in. Eat until you are comfortably full then listen to your body’s hunger queues. 

 

Now the concern most have with this is the fear of obesity, imma let you in on a little secrete…. Use the 80-20 rule; 

80% eating healthy wholesome meals this will include:

Maintance Protein potion, healthy fats portion and complex carbs portion. 

20% curbing your cravings; yeah have a damn cheat meal ! 

 

It’s called balance baby! So enjoy it because remember at the end of the day you are still training but you are keeping up with your stomach and metabolism, NEVER STARVE YOURSELF FOR FUNZEES help is everywhere.
