You've probably heard people say, eat less and move more. That's the formula if you want to get in shape. Here's what we say, many of you need to eat more and move less. Here are the signs that this is what's gonna actually improve your health and fitness. Do the opposite, eat more, move less. Let's go.
Adam Schafer (3:13)
Can't wait for these comments.
Sal Di Stefano (3:14)
Yeah, these are great. No, so this is for, and I'm gonna be clear, right? This is not for the person that doesn't work out and who eats kind of whatever they want. Eats a lot of heavily processed foods and let's just say garbage, right? This is for the fitness fanatics. This is for the person that's super into fitness, that's super consistent. Oftentimes, these are callers, right? Oftentimes, we'll start the show, we'll have callers call in, and they'll tell us about their issues and why they're not progressing or what is it. Why can't I not progress or I'm plateauing?
Our advice revolves generally around this. Oftentimes, we tell people, you got to eat more and you got to move less. When they listen to us, they come back 30 days, 60 days later, and they're like, I can't believe that worked. I can't believe eating more and moving less, again, generally speaking, really is what got me to a better place in fitness. These are the people that we're talking to, and you know who you are if you're listening right now.
Adam Schafer (4:13)
Yeah, and I mean, we've had different clients that fit that category, and I would say it's more of like a permacut. It's almost to the point where they're just always so conscious about trying to keep their weight at a certain amount, and to make sure that their cardio is there, to make sure that they're eating underneath, and playing that calorie game for so long, and then to get them to eat is like transformative.
