#5: NUTRITION- Finding YOUR Fat Loss Mag...

Martin MacDonald
About this episode

I cover a LOT in this episode, so writing the title was tough. 

It came off the back of people being so interested in what my 7 days of 1000kcals/day food shop looked like.

When you are ‘in the know’ it’s not sexy, it’s not interesting. But that’s what I wanted to talk about here, what IS sexy, or magical i.e. what DOES make for a successful fat loss diet. 

Amazon Alexa also makes a guest appearance with some nutrition advice of her own… LMAO! Enjoy. 

TOPICS 

02:33 - Fat loss ‘sucks’ compared to maintenance. Therefore it should never be done from a place of guilt or hating yourself

03:14 - How I’m surprisingly inspiring others on my aggressive fat loss phase

06:37 - Why I can’t do a protein sparing modified fast & how I feel BETTER on very low calories

10:20 - Fat loss isn’t sexy, there really is no magic foods or macronutrients

13:34 - Hunger is not just physiological!

15:22 - What comes after my aggressive fat loss phase ⠀

17:35 - The charlatans of the industry & the rubbish they say...

22:38 - How mentality is so much more important to fat loss success than the mathematics of it

26:44 - Alexa chimes in on the conversation, offering me some advice on nutrition…. WTF

33:32 - The importance of getting a good variety within an aggressive diet
