Have you tried to lose weight with a popular trendy diet like keto, vegan, fasting, carnivore or low-carb only to be frustrated that they don't work out long term? Before all of these fad diets came about, the idea of dieting actually started 150 years ago with our obsession of losing weight. Even as we become more intelligent about nutrition and understand how carbs, fats, and proteins affect our body composition, obesity is still on the rise. We can find thousands of diet plans on the internet but for some reason they don't seem to work out long-term. The common reasons why most of these diets FAIL are because: diets deprive us, they're temporary, they don't fit into normal life, and they can can actually harm our metabolism resulting in slower fat burn if incorporated the wrong way. In this episode, Dustin shares his philosophy on how he coaches his clients and himself to eat in a way that allows for freedom, longevity, and health all while staying lean and fit all year round.
