WHAT ARE YOU EATING RIGHT NOW?

It’s the end of August and I’m getting back to training after taking time completely off.

People sometimes ask me what I eat when I’m not training.

It depends on what I’m in the mood for.

When I’m barely active—sitting on my butt editing videos, organizing collections and writing books—I’m obviously not expending as much energy as when I’m training.

My body softens up a little. I might gain a little body fat.

I let it.

I’m not going to keep lowering my food just because I’m temporarily not training. I love to eat, and I’d rather accept the normal changes that come with different seasons of life.

This week I've been eating squash because FINALLY it’s squash season. Zucchini. Cottage cheese. I ran out of protein powder, so I made protein pudding with quark and cocoa powder instead.

I always find another way.

And that's really what I want you to think about.

What happens to YOUR diet when your normal routine disappears?

Do you suddenly not know what to eat?

Do you drift because training isn't there to organize your day?

I used to be like that. I'm not anymore.

Healthy eating is part of my life whether I'm training hard, resting, traveling, working or sitting on my butt all day.

And I LOVE TO EAT.

Food isn't something I try to stop thinking about. I enjoy it. I look forward to eating every day. The only time I don't want to eat is usually when I'm sick.

So now I'm curious:

What are YOU eating right now?

What's your current go-to meal? What foods are you loving?

MASTER THE POBO is my Fighterdiet practice where I teach you my way of practicing this lifestyle: Prevent Overeating By Overeating.

Because if you're anything like me, you'd rather eat, enjoy your food and learn how to manage it than constantly feel like another miserable diet is waiting around the corner.

My life is too long to be on a diet I don't love.
