| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club. This past weekend, I was talking to Adam and |
| 0:06.5 | Daniel about the nutrition tracker we built in the Pump Club app. It's been an interesting |
| 0:13.6 | experiment to see what happens when you completely remove calorie counting from the equation |
| 0:19.6 | and get people to simply pay attention to what they eat. |
| 0:23.3 | We built a system where we do the thinking for them. |
| 0:26.1 | Everything is adjusted to their goals and based on their consistency and progress, the diet |
| 0:31.4 | adjusts is needed. |

| 1:21.6 | when I completed my workouts mark off my sets and reps and eat the proteins, carbs, and fats my body needed for fuel. |
| 1:33.2 | It was that simple. |
| 1:34.6 | And if I didn't get the job done, it was looking at me so clearly that I couldn't avoid my own actions. |
| 1:41.2 | It made it simple for me to know when I needed to get back on the plan to deliver |
| 1:47.1 | the results that would make my vision a reality. Here's what my past and the experience of those |
