#67 - Build Your Best Diet
Manage episode 518677922 series 2820838
Diets don’t fail because you chose the wrong superfood. They fail because the plan doesn’t fit your life. We unpack a simple framework to build a results-focused diet that you can actually follow: anchor your day with enough protein, load up on fruit, veg and fibre, and then flex carbs and fats to match your taste, training and schedule. No moralising food, no pass or fail macros—just a system that reduces friction and boosts adherence.
We start by defining the problem you want to solve—fat loss, steadier energy, better performance—and reverse-engineer calories to suit it. From there, we show how to map meals to your real day: more calories where you’re hungriest, fewer where you aren’t, with full permission to use convenience options like microwave rice, frozen veg and prepped proteins. You’ll learn why weekly calories beat daily perfection, how to plan for pasta-bake Tuesdays and steak-night Thursdays, and how to keep weekend flexibility without derailing your goal.
Protein gets the spotlight for good reason. Set a clear daily target, use ranges instead of rigid numbers, and consider front-loading if you struggle to hit it. With that foundation in place, snacks lose their pull, focus improves, and you won’t need to obsess over exact carb-to-fat ratios. We also share our own meal setups—high-protein mornings, carb-heavy evenings, repeatable staples that digest well—so you can borrow ideas and build your version. The throughline is simple: add before you subtract, change less at once, and let your history guide what truly works.
Enjoy the conversation, then put it to work. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s stuck in diet rules, and leave a review so more people can build a plan that fits their life.
