What's going on everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcasts. I'm your coach and host Josh here with.

It's co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house. We get asked it all the time. What diet is the best? Is it keto? Is it intermittent fasting? Is it low carb? Is it fasting? What is it? You know, is it the, you know, the Cheerio diet? I mean, who knows? You can make up a million things. We're actually going to give you the best diet for long-term success. And tried and true, I'm telling you right now, having over 2,000 transformations. This is how you do it. So it's called flexible dieting.

Kyle's really passionate. So take it away. What is flexible dieting? Yeah. So and you know,

one thing is like a lot of times people have that like thought of like, oh, dieting. Like it's kind of like a

negative effect. Right. So think of it just as like a way of eating, right? Flexible eating is one

thing that I want to say. But of course the term is actually flexible dieting. But that's essentially when there are no restrictions. You're not someone who's just forcing yourself to follow a specific thing. There's no labels on food. And the big thing is that like, because you know, I was actually spending some time thinking like what allows us to get such incredible results within our coaching and of course there's a

bunch of different things you know such as us actually caring versus a lot of other coaches but

the biggest thing was I just realized like flexibility and sustainability has such a massive part

with it so you know with this strategy you're going to have to hit your calorie goals you're

going to have to focus on your protein you have to hit your fiber as well otherwise. Otherwise, if you don't do those things, it's not going to work, right? It's not about eating skittles and pop tarts and stuffing your face all day long with things that you can fit in, but it's just a way to allow you to have some flexibility. You can have 80% healthy foods, 20% fun foods. You can have 90% healthy foods, 10% fun foods. It could be 95% and

5. But the main principle of this entire thing, and we're going to talk to you about five benefits

is just that there is no, there are no restrictions. And that's something that a lot of people

struggle with. And so with that being said, we may as well jump into the five benefits of flexible dieting

and why it works for a majority of people. Yeah. So this changed the game for me personally because

like most, you know, when I wanted to start getting in shape, I said, okay, that's it. It's being real.

No more sweets. No more fun foods. No more eating out. I'm just eating at home and I'm only eating healthy home cooked foods, you know, chicken, rice, veggies, all those great things, you know, almonds for snacks, like that was it. Now, the problem is it works until it doesn't work, right? It's a great way to lose weight. It's totally awesome. And, you know, for a time, it's fine, fine but it's not sustainable like for the rest of your

life there's so many experiences and fun foods and things you want to do and have right so flexible

dieting really opened this up to me so in a nutshell you know you probably heard us mentioned the 80-20

rule and essentially that's really aiming at the end of the day to focus on health to focus on

great eating and to really make the core of your diet just that, but also to work in some great food, some of your favorite food, some experiential food, some cool dinners, anything like that. So 80% should be good food. So maybe that means I have a really healthy breakfast, really healthy lunch and a healthy dinner, but I have a fun snack. You know, maybe I have a little bit of ice cream and then I have something else. You know, that's totally fine because that to me is how you do it long term. Or if I know I'm going out tomorrow and I have a fancy lunch and then I also have a dinner plan, you know, I know, ooh, maybe it's going to be a little more 50-50 that day. So the day before I can go 100 clean, you know, I can really aim to eat great food. It's just having that balance and having some self-accountability really goes a long way. And this gives you the ability to do this. And, you know, where people get confused is there's flexible dieting and there's I-I-I-FM, if, yeah, if it fits your macro. So this was is the original form of it and it was just macro so you

have your calorie number your protein number maybe carbon fat numbers you can eat whatever you want to

fit it so experiences have experiments have been done people have lost weight only eating from
