Welcome to the Flexible Dining Lepestyle Podcast. I'm your host, Zach Rushlow. I'm with my co-host, Miguel Blakut.

And today's episode is going to be a conversation that me and Miguel had. It was actually

towards the end of the previous episode when we were talking about my trip to Australia.

This was a conversation about contest prep, our feelings about contest prepped and just giving you guys all, I mean,

the blueprint, the opinion that we have based on everything we've seen, our personal experiences

on if we think that you should embark on contest prep, if you should actually have a goal of stepping on stage.

Before we begin, though, please take a screenshot, post it up on your Instagram story, let people

know that you're listening to the podcast tag at Imblecoutes and at the flexible dying lifestyle.

And if you've yet not, please leave a five-star review on iTunes or whatever platform you listen

to the podcast on. We really appreciate it. Like Seriously, that means the world to us when you do that.

So if you could just pop in on iTunes or whatever platform, leave that review. I promise. I promise. I

promise. We appreciate it so much. That's what we really value. That shows us that you guys

appreciate us so much and we're going to continue to pump out this content. And I want to

preface before we begin, while you're listening to this podcast, just

really think internally. All the things we're saying, really ask yourself these tough questions.

Really use your imagination. As we're explaining all the things that come into contest prep,

really put yourself into that position and really ask yourself the tough questions if you really

could. You could

really do this. Do you really embark on this tough journey? And is it really going to be worth it?

And I said this earlier, I just don't have food cravings anymore. It's, it's, and I want to preface to when Miguel is talking about having, eating most

of your meals out, if your goal, and I don't see, here's the thing, everybody listen to this

podcast, I do not recommend anybody to step on stage. I don't at all. If that's, it's a bold claim.
