What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast as always. I am your host Mike Milner. Today's episode

we're going to keep this little blend going of some life lessons mixed with some really

solid nutrition advice that I feel like we've got a good rhythm going and I want to keep that up.

Actually today is going to be an interesting discussion because I want to keep that up. Actually, today is going to be an interesting discussion

because I want to talk about some of the traditional diets

that are out there and which ones you should be considering and which ones you should be running away from.

And I think the answer might surprise you.

It just might surprise you.

I think that we kind of find ourselves in this two ends of the

extreme when it comes to nutrition advice. There's a lot of people out there that are like

you know fuck diet culture and every diet is bad and they don't really

provide any context. They're just anti, just to be anti. And then there's other people that

will push these like fad protocols down your throat,

be like this is the gold standard, this is how you lose weight quickly,

and as always there's a middle ground.

I don't know why we're so afraid of the middle ground. Like we love

to live in this all or nothing way of thinking where things have to be labeled and

it has to be black and white and it has to be this versus that, like there's always some kind of middle ground.

And I think that that's often where the answer lives and most people avoid it, which is frankly why most people struggle.

Anyway, so I want to break that down and just have an honest conversation about what we should

be looking at when it comes to traditional diets. I think that it's really unfortunate to just speak in absolutes and it actually brings up a good point.

Like let me just interject real quick before I continue because I can already sense that I'm about to head down a tangent.
