Reverse Dieting and Nutrition for Executives: How I Eat 4,000 Calories a Day at 10% Body Fat (Macros, Carbs, Alcohol)

from The Nick Burns Show · host PetroFit

A nutrition system for executives: reverse dieting, macros, alcohol, and how to eat 4,000 calories a day at 10% body fat without storing it as fat.For seven years I did the opposite and got nowhere. Gym five days a week. Cardio almost every day. Some weeks down to 1,200 calories. The scale never moved.In Episode 05 of The Nick Burns Show, I walk through the entire nutrition system I use with leaders in the energy industry.Reverse dieting and the multi-year cycle I used to get from 2,000 calories to 4,000 without gaining fat. The thermic effect of food and why 20% of every protein calorie is essentially free. Why carbs are not the enemy you think they are, and the brain fog that hits when you cut them. How to actually eat for the life you're living, whether that's a stationary desk, a two-week rotation, or a vendor dinner circuit.I get into the conversation I'm not afraid to have with VPs, directors, and CEOs about what alcohol is actually costing them. Every twelve ounces of alcohol freezes fat loss and muscle growth for twelve hours. Two beers Monday, two Wednesday, two Friday, and you wrote off the week before you ever set foot in the gym.I tell the story of the client at 4.5% body fat who looked like he was at 10%. Five protein shakes a day, inflamed and watery from his own stack and didn't know it.If nutrition, fat loss, alcohol, or hitting your protein target is the thing holding you back, start here.https://www.petrofitwellness.com/
