Simple Dietary Changes for Life-Changing...

BEN PAKULSKI
About this episode

What do ALL successful weight loss stories have in common?  What is a driving factor behind balancing your blood sugar?  The answer might be simpler than you think...

Today's guest, Dr. Ted Naiman, has spent almost 20 years as a primary care provider with a unique focus: diet and nutrition. Once a vegetarian who eventually transitioned to the Atkins diet, and later the paleo diet, Dr. Naiman is the founder of the P.E. (Protein : Energy) Diet.

Ben and Dr. Naiman dissect everything from keto weight loss stalling to the anabolic resistance that comes with age... PLUS the one commonality of every single diet designed for fat loss, metabolic health, and bodybuilding.

You'll learn:

  • The key to achieving your weight loss and/or performance goals.
  • The ONE factor that matters most in every diet.
  • The insulinogenic impact of protein.
  • Simple changes that can improve your health immediately.
  • Best practices for digesting and absorbing high-quality sources of protein.

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn’t for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it’s not about MORE or what you do, it’s about BETTER and how you do it...  Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.

I’m not in the business of convincing anyone.  I’m in the business of transformation.

The individuals who come to us are already high-performers.  They’re committed. Ready.

Don’t get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it’s going to be too hard.

But here’s the tough love you need to hear:  The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.

I’m looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you’re serious and you’re committed, I’d love to see if you’re a right fit for a program I’m starting in 2022.  Apply now at https://go.muscleintelligence.com/coaching-application/
