Hey everyone, Ben-Cuba Radio, episode number 406. Good day to you, sir, and ladies.

Right, today we're going to be talking about dieting, kind of getting in shape really quickly and diet

breaks as well.

Now I've been at vegan life show over the weekend and it made me think about people's diets and why they do them

and what they want to get out of them. You know we often talk about extreme dieting and shake diets and all these different things out there and how

effective they are.

And they're effective because they put us in a place where we have extreme levels of adherence. And any diet will always be effective if you

gain an extreme level of adherence. So when I went from beast to Slim, I followed a low-carb paleo diet because it

put me in this framework where I just followed this thing. I cut out carbs, I ate real food. I went quite extreme. Started lifting

weight. I was doing two hours out of exercise a day and the fat absolutely melted off

me. And luckily I was in a place where I wanted to learn everything and anything

about nutrition and health so after I went through my extreme diet phase I was then

educating myself on a lifestyle about permanent

change I was already bought in I wanted this and the problem with most diets as we

know is we go on the diet and then we don't re-educate ourselves

and we yo-yo back and forth and then that's a big problem.

So the first thing I want to talk about here is that extreme diets work and they can be safe.

One of the things that you really need to do is you need to bear in mind your protein intake

because that's the biggest thing that is going to affect

whether you lose muscle on your diet or not and there's not many people out

there that want to lose muscle on their diet and that's very important for muscular health

bone health support in your body as a whole keeping your metabolic rate high
