What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mind Over Macros Podcast. As always, I am your

host Mike Melner in today's episode. I'm going to reveal the dark side of fitness and nutrition.

I'm going to shine a light on the dark side of fit.

And here's the thing.

The dark side of fitness and nutrition is the larger side for lack of a better phrase.

Most of what we deal with is failure.

It has like this game that we're playing,

this whole health game, fitness, nutrition, health, body composition, all of it.

It has a horrible success rate and I don't think enough people talk about why that is and I don't think enough people talk about why that is.

And I don't think enough people give realistic expectations

about what you are signing up for when you say,

yes, I want this. When you say yes I want this

when you say yes I want to get leaner get healthier get stronger build muscle live longer

whatever it is not enough people talk about the reality of what it takes. And I'm not saying

what it takes from, uh, you gotta be motivated and discipline, no days off and all that nonsense.

That's part of the problem.

That's part of the dark side is the fact that we hear these messages all the time that make it sound like it a simple light switch. You just turn it on and

then you go make it happen. And that is just not how this works.

And I think we need more transparency in this space.

I'm sick and tired of reading posts that are like,

it's so easy.

Fat loss is so easy.
