Listen "216. When ‘Sustainable’ Isn’t the Goal (in Fitness and Nutrition)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Help Me Understand, Coach JK McLeod unpacks the often-misunderstood advice around sustainability in fitness and nutrition. You’ve probably heard “Don’t do anything you can’t sustain”, but what if that’s missing the point?JK breaks down the phases of a fitness journey (fat loss, maintenance, and muscle gain), and explains why some strategies aren’t meant to be sustainable forever. He shares his perspective that the dieting phase isn’t supposed to be the lifestyle, because the real goal is to build a sustainable structure during maintenance.You’ll walk away with practical steps to assess your current phase, align your actions with your long-term values, and create habits that support your success no matter what phase you’re in.----Have a question or topic you'd like JK to talk about in a future episode?
