I really think that when it comes to body transformation, nutrition is really quite simple.

So we think of body transformation, I want you all to first assume and recognize that a body transformation is the exact same thing as muscle building, right?

So don't separate in your brain, body transformation being something different than muscle building.

It needs to be synonymous. When you try to transform your body, the objective in your mind has to be,

I'm trying to build muscle. even if you think you're not,

because here's why. If you think you're not trying to build muscle, the way you don't build muscle,

it just don't eat as much, right? You still got to train as though you're trying to build muscle.

That should still be the goal, right? Because muscle building is metabolically more expensive,

and ultimately it's going to help shape

your body more effectively.

So we want to create a metabolic turnover inside the cell.

So if we're just training with strength training or low volume training or low intensity

training, we're not going to create a turnover, like an energy turnover inside the cell.

Objectively, we're trying to improve the mitochondria and the

cytosol's ability to produce energy per unit time. So the more we can train in this hypertrophy range

and ultimately accumulate more volume, the faster we can teach our body to be more effective

with burning through nutrients, which is objectively the goal. As we age, regardless of where you are now, your cells' ability to produce energy

gets diminished. So the primary, one of the primary focuses of any nutrition plan or ultimately

any transformation plan should be, how can I get myself to turn over more nutrients per unit time?

So how can I ramp up ATP production, right?

That's really what the goal should be.

And so, you know, nutrition can influence that a lot, but so can training.
