What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast. As always, I'm

your host Mike Milner and today we are back with another episode of the Fix My Diet series.

This has been pretty popular so far, so I figured we will keep it rolling.

And so I'd rather just have something on the front end where we can get them to buy in, we can get

them more consistency, feeling better about the process.
