It's all about that Bro Diet!

That's right I said it. It's all about that "Bro" diet. Ok, well maybe not. Often times people look at others that are in the fitness industry and notice that many of them, if not 90% of them follow a very "Bro" diet though. It comes down to the simple fact that is works without fail though. Some people hate "Bro" food while others like myself actually enjoy eating chicken and broccoli at every meal and egg whites for breakfast. It's totally a preference though. and again, it works.

But recently the whole "Bro" lifestyle has come under fire online. People want to bash it or really push "flexible" dieting. I don't have anything against flexible dieting if it works for you. But it's not something that is guaranteed to work for everyone. Let's use myself as an example of that shall we? I love food, and obviously that is why I became morbidly obese at a young age. The concept of flexible dieting is not limiting the types of food you eat. So you can have junk food, fast food, processed food, candy, ice cream, etc. Nothing is off limits. The problem with this, is if you are someone like me, you can't stick to a serving size of ice cream  or just a handful of skittles. You eat the whole bag or fill up the bowl.

That's why I am a fan of the whole "Bro" diet. It's strict and I can only eat certain foods and amounts. The foods I eat fill me up. The other thing I enjoy is a weekly cheat meal. Again, some call this a refeed, but lets be honest, it's a cheat. This cheat meal or even cheat day is a day where nothing is off limits. This type of diet works best for me. And that is the thing about getting healthy, you have to find out what works best for you. If you are naturally a leaner person, or don't have problems with over eating, then flexible dieting and IIFYM(If it fits your Macros) may work great for you. Other people are perfectly fine with a lower calorie diet, and again others get the best results eating "Bro". Don't let someone just sell you on something though because it's the current trend in health. Find out what works best for you.

Also, if you go online and have a trainer write you a diet plan, Make sure you have choices on that plan. While I am "Bro" myself, I know many don't want to eat that way. I make mix and match meals for my clients where they have a variety. Sure, there are some "Bro" foods like chicken, broccoli, fish, rice and egg whites, but I am going to give you a variety of other foods as well. Just remember, this is your journey and if something doesn't work, re-evaluate and try something different.
