athlete radio. Hey,

everyone, welcome to another episode of No Meed Athlette Radio.

Matt Frazier, join with Doug Hay.

Doug, is this our Downer episode?

Are we talking about depressing things a little defeatist

but the good news is that I'm back for a full episode. I haven't been a really good news I forgot

about that. So that's that's an upper. It is right dog is here we're having fun it's fall we

both have little allergies going on today mhm at least is not early in the

morning when we're recording like like last time don't have a a look at morning voices. Yeah, so anyway, we, through this week we're talking about a topic that was inspired by

last week's interview with Robert Cheek, where for those who haven't heard it or even those who have a little recap,

Robert he talked about

eating processed food and he just kind of mentioned it off hand in the beginning. In fact I was I him a question, I interrupted him to make the point that he had gained all this weight without eating processed food and saying, wow, this must be really working whatever you're doing because you're putting on this weight without the processed food you used to be eating.

And people typically think when you're trying to put on weight, it's very hard to do that on a whole food diet

because you're not getting a lot of caloric density.

So he actually said, no, I'm actually eating more processed food than I had been and then that

turned out to be kind of the whole second half of the episode was about dealing with that

and actually being okay with that when the expectations I think especially for him as someone who's kind of seen

or has been for a very long time as as you know the the ideal vegan athlete right who has this perfect diet his talks often are about

holding yourself accountable do you really know exactly what you're eating and you say you're not gaining weight or you're not losing weight but do you really know exactly what you're putting in your body?

So it's sort of, that's kind of been his thing.
