[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_00]: The Reason You May Not Be Getting Results and What To Do About It

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: by Nia Schenckx of niashenckx.com

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to lose body fat,

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: you have to eat this way and you have to work out this way.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_00]: If you want to build muscle, you have to eat this way and you have to train this way.

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_00]: The fitness and nutrition world is an interesting place.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_00]: The latest and greatest fad surfaces on a frequent basis

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_00]: with promises of allowing you to finally lose the weight

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_00]: or build muscle or whatever desire you have when it comes to your body composition.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Many methods, fat or not, can be portrayed in a way that people think

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_00]: they absolutely have to follow if they want results.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Often, this leads people to apply a certain method

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_00]: that may not be appropriate for them

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_00]: because other people are experiencing great results.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to do what's popular or what other experts swear by

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_00]: if that method doesn't fit your lifestyle and personality.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's my primary rule when it comes to working out and nutrition.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_00]: The approach you use shouldn't put too much stress on you,

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_00]: nor should it require you to revolve your life around it.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, there may be a time when you want to get strict and accomplish a goal,

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_00]: but these should be for predetermined periods of time.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_00]: It should not go on for months and years.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_00]: When it comes to strength training and nutrition,

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_00]: there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach that will work for everyone.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Working out.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: When it comes to strength training,

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll admit that I'm biased in regards to strength training methods.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I like lifting heavy and use primarily barbell, dumbbell, and bodyweight exercises.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_00]: I love to deadlift, squat, press weight overhead,

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: perform chin-ups, handstand push-ups, and other bodyweight exercises.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Even though lifting heavy while focusing on big compound movements

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_00]: works incredibly well for building strength and a strong, healthy body,

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_00]: does that mean it's the only way you can build a body you're proud of?

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely not.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you like to train exclusively with kettlebells.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Perhaps you want to get into Olympic lifting or train with strongman tools.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Or maybe you love conditioning and metabolic focus training programs.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you love crazy workout finishers.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Or want to have the ability to work out anytime and anywhere,

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_00]: so you use bodyweight workouts.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Furthermore, you don't have to squat, bench press, and deadlift

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: if you don't enjoy those lifts.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Or especially if you have mobility issues

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: or previous injuries that prevent you from doing them safely.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: In that case, you should perform variations of those exercises

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: that work for you.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care how you choose to engage in resistance training.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Find what works for you and do what you enjoy.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Nutrition and eating patterns.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_00]: There's plenty of controversy in the wonderful world of strength training,

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: but nutrition is perhaps plagued with the most pervasive dogmatic views and opinions.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Nutrition and diet is definitely the area where people usually experience the most confusion.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_00]: There are numerous nutrition plans and methods that have produced incredible results.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Some people prefer strict guidelines that require them to eat a set number of calories

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_00]: and macronutrients at certain times of the day.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Other people, like myself, prefer to have simple, flexible guidelines.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_00]: An example is simply being aware of healthier food choices,

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_00]: which is generally a very easy way for people to lose body fat

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and see positive changes to their physique.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember many months ago, two of my fellow fitness friends,

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Jen Keck and Ben Bruno, were discussing nutrition habits on Twitter.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Jen asked Ben if he typically followed an intermittent fasting protocol.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_00]: His response was,

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: The bottom line with nutrition,

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: don't be afraid to experiment and discover what works for you.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I've tried numerous nutrition methods and diets throughout my career.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_00]: For example, the first eating style I attempted was the standard 5-6 small meals throughout the day.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_00]: For over a year, I followed this template every day, even though I didn't like it.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I never felt full, it was a chore to prepare and clean up after so many meals,

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_00]: and it made events like family dinners or going out to eat stressful.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Eating that way caused me to constantly stress out and think about my diet.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But I kept on doing it because it was the quote-unquote best way to get results.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Thankfully, I later discovered that simply isn't true.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Intermittent fasting turned out to be a much better method for me to use long-term.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been following intermittent fasting in one way or another for over five years now.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's what works for me.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Even though I'm a proponent of intermittent fasting and use it with myself and many of my clients,

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_00]: that doesn't mean it's right for everyone.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I still have some clients who prefer to eat four to five smaller meals each day

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_00]: and hate any form of intermittent fasting.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Here are some simple questions to ask yourself if you're unsure of the direction to go with your nutrition habits.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you prefer a set plan that tells you everything you can and can't eat?

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Or do you like detailed guidelines for how many calories and or macronutrients to eat?

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Or do you prefer basic, flexible principles?

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Different strokes for different folks.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Find what works for you.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't force a square peg in a round hole.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Bottom line, if a particular method doesn't fit your personality or mesh with your lifestyle,

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_00]: then don't force it.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_00]: As I stated, intermittent fasting works well for me.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I can achieve my body composition and performance goals with ease

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: and it's virtually stress-free in application and practice.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_00]: However, some of my clients, in addition to other people I've communicated with,

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_00]: don't like intermittent fasting.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Some people get headaches, feel like they're starving,

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_00]: or just don't feel well when they fast.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't bark at them saying,

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: intermittent fasting is the best way to get results,

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: so suck it up, or anything like that.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Instead, I give them simple guidelines like,

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: eat more unprocessed foods and,

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_00]: eat when you're hungry and stop when you're satisfied,

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_00]: but not when you're stuffed.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_00]: This is why I have flexible guidelines.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_00]: This way you can adjust your eating patterns and workouts

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_00]: as necessary to suit your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: You just listened to the post titled,

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_00]: The Reason You May Not Be Getting Results and What To Do About It

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_00]: by Nia Shanks of niashanks.com.

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Buy low, sell high.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It's easy to say, hard to do.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: For example, high interest rates are crushing the real estate market right now.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Demand is dropping and prices are falling,

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: even for many of the best assets.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It's no wonder the Fundrise flagship fund plans to go on a buying spree,

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_01]: expanding its billion-dollar real estate portfolio over the next few months.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You can add the Fundrise flagship fund to your portfolio in just minutes,

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and with as little as $10,

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: by visiting fundrise.com slash OFD.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That's F-U-N-D-R-I-S-E dot com slash OFD.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: of the Fundrise flagship fund before investing.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: This and other information can be found in the fund's prospectus

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: at fundrise.com slash flagship.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Für Menschen gemacht.

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Neil here for my commentary.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Being in the nutrition field, I try and experience what my patients and clients experience as well

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_00]: to the best of my ability.

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_00]: So for example, I get a lot of questions about intermittent fasting.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So I go ahead and try that diet myself so that I can speak to what it's like for me.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_00]: As long as I know it's not going to cause me harm, I'll probably give it a shot again,

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_00]: mostly for the experience.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_00]: And what I found was intermittent fasting for me is no good.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm cranky.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: My workouts weren't as good.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I felt like I ended up eating more when I did get to sit down for my meal.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Just no good for me.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I also have tried the 5-6 meals per day thing.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And with that one, I always felt like I was hungry and not really quite eating enough food

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_00]: every single time.

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, as Nia mentioned, it was kind of a pain to plan like six meals every single

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_00]: day.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So finding the right eating pattern even for me wasn't a slam dunk.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_00]: It took some time and some finessing.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's all Nia's trying to say.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And I agree with her.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Find what works for you so long as, again, it's not causing you harm.

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So long as it's helping you achieve optimal health and wellness.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_00]: You're able to perform at your best.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Your doctor's happy with your progress.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Those are the things I really care about.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Because in a couple of years, you may look back and say, oh yeah, I tried intermittent

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_00]: fasting or paleo or South Beach or Atkins and said, well, you know, those didn't work

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_00]: for me.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And all I care about is that you learned along the way.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That you learned a little bit about yourself after each diet you tried.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And so hopefully again, a couple of years from now when you look back and you said, you

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_00]: know what?

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I did learn something from each of those diets I tried.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what got me to where I am today.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Now I know what works for me.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, that's enough out of my commentary.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I thank you again, as always, for listening.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for sharing this show with someone.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you back here tomorrow where your optimal life awaits.
