This weeks nutrition rant...I jump on the mic and dive into some thoughts on the concept of "good foods, bad foods, unhealthy foods", a big diet error when bulking and how to fix it, and my thoughts on weed and alcohol as it pertains to body composition and performance!

As a former heavy drinker cutting alcohol has been one of the biggest game changers for changing my overall body composition.

I eat my meal prep I've dubbed my "Autism chow" 5 days out of the week for 2 out of 3 meals. The other two days are still conscious of overall calorie intake, but I really don't worry about the food itself. It could be a Monte Cristo, could be chicken Alfredo, could be cheeseburgers. I went from 220 to 175 in a year. It was slower than most people would go, but it worked for me, because I still had energy and still enjoyed my day to day

Question/Topic: Addressing the athlete that has high body fat to lose but is also seeking the most optimized strength gains.

I am recomping by keeping protein near 1g/lb and keeping calories at a slight deficit. Scale is moving about 1 lb/week average.

Just wanted to see your take/input.

The same principle of "good vs. bad" food applies to exercise selection too. People might label a certain exercise as "good" or "bad", but the validity of the exercise is largely based on the context of the exercise... like where you put it in your session (beginning or end), what your training goals are, and the frequency/volume you use for that exercise.

Unfortunately, I had to stop smoking weed a couple years ago after 25 years of regular heavy use and growing my own for ten years. It messes with one of my meds and I get the worst anxiety attacks in the world, even from one hit. I use a cbd/thc vape at bedtime, as I'm a lifelong since I was a toddler insomniac. It's like a 4:1 ratio of cbd to thc, something like that. Everyonce in a while, usually after I've just charged it, I accidentally take too big a hit and start freaking out in my head and can't fall asleep for an hour or two. But usually it puts me right to sleep along with my muscle relaxer.(tizanidine)
I'll also use the vape before a run, but take a smaller hit.
Then I use cbd gummies to help with my back pain and inflammation. They make a huge difference in both the gym and life. I have really big uncomfortable hardware in my lower back, and my muscles are always knotted. The gummies help to relax them more than anything.

Cannabis oils great I can suck down an extra plate of brown rice and still be hungry. Not touching alcohol ever again though screw what bacterial shit they tried to convince us to drink

Every heavy cannabis consumer I’ve ever met is literally unable to eat until they smoke. I’m sure that correlates to the generally leaner body composition. The opportunities to have the desire to, or be able to eat are small throughout the day for them

I smoke weed and i dont think it does anything negative. Tried working out without weed and its not as good as a workout. Alcohol is bad for the body but sometimes needed for a troubled or stressed spirit. Ashwaganda is great to take before work but it makes my workouts lackluster if taken before one.

Since transitioning from bodybuilding to more running, sprint work, rucking, general like get outside and do-shit-type-shit

I’ve gone from eating 2500cals to 3400-400cals daily and im dropping fat. I eat some bullshit here and there. I love some ice cream and or some cookies. I never thought I’d be able to eat this much as for years I was needing to cut on less than 2000kcal.
