046_How to Periodize Your Nutrition for Performance and Weight Loss with Jason Phillips

There is so much conflicting information regarding dieting. On the one hand, you've got diets touting the benefits of extreme restriction. On the other hand, you've got diets touting the benefits of no restriction, but an emphasis on calories and macros.   The fact is, so much of our diet culture is centered on fear-mongering. And that can ultimately lead to confusion and inaction. If nutrition is something you're struggling with, then please check out my podcast with Jason Phillips.   "I think the word diet is synonymous with a list of things we can’t have. And if your thought process around the way you’re going to eat for the rest of your life is predicated on restriction, that’s an issue and it’s one that’s not going to end well." - Jason Phillips   Jason is nutrition coach and founder of iN³ Nutrition and the Nutritional Coaching Institute.
