Many people have the wrong impression about flexible dieters and think all they eat is “fast food” and sweets. Not true!

Flexible dieting’s goal isn’t to try and include the maximum amount of “junk food” we can in our macros.

• It isn’t just eating cakes and sweets all day!

• It isn’t having the goal of avoiding whole foods or trying to eat as often as possible products that are made artificially!
• It’s managing to, if we want, use sauce on our meals!
• It’s having the flexibility to go out to dinner with our friends!
• It’s going out and being able to have a beer!
• It’s having the freedom to go and have sushi for dinner with our girlfriend/boyfriend!

Essentially it’s being able to have a sustainable lifestyle without compromising or progress!

It’s about having the opportunity to fit training and nutrition into our lifestyle instead of the opposite.

When we try to adjust the adequate ratio of macro nutrients for us to achieve our ideal body composition, having high levels of protein and fiber in our diet, it will always be impossible to do by just eating “fast food”.

The thing is that when we cover our nutritional needs with food rich in fiber, protein and micronutrients, we can eat a few foods that we crave, so that we reach the rest of our macro goals for the day. This way, we eliminate all of those cravings to which we would normally deprive ourselves of, that normally make our diet unbearable and unsustainable.

For example, if we have a fast metabolism and we’re eating 500g of carbs and 100g of fats in the “off-season” because we’re trying to pack on some meat, will it make that big a difference if we eat a McFlurry if at the end of the day we have already hit our fiber, protein and micronutrient goals? Of course not!

On the other hand, if we have a slow metabolism and we’re in a caloric deficit, only eating 100g of carbs, would it be wise to spend 74g of those carbs on 2 McFlurrys? Obviously not! This would be the same as making 500€ a month and spending 400€ on a weekend in a 5* Hotel, we would be penniless for the rest of the moth.
