A government-funded sports nutritionist told me McDonald's was fine
I was an elite rower training for New Zealand's national eight. Every Saturday we'd finish five hours of training before 1pm. Then all twelve of us would pile into McDonald's and compete to see who could eat the most burgers. I'm not joking. This was the official advice. And I followed it. Because why wouldn't you trust the experts? But something never sat right. I was doing everything I was told. My energy still wasn't where it should be. I was getting sick more than made sense. Carrying inflammation I couldn't explain. I was doing everything right. Why did my body feel like this? So I went looking for my own answers. Years of research. Questioning everything. Then it clicked. The seed oils in all that food were signaling my body to store fat and conserve energy. Just like a bear preparing for winter. My body wasn't broken. It was running the wrong program. Once I removed those foods, everything changed. → Less than 1 hour of training a day to maintain it all → 102kg at 12% body fat → Broke the Liver King's Barbarian world record → First person in the Southern Hemisphere to complete the Super Barbarian Here's why this matters for you. You're not a rower. But you're eating the same way I was. The working lunch that's just a sandwich. The takeout because the day ran too long. The client dinner where everything is cooked in the wrong oils. All of it is running the same program in your body that McDonald's ran in mine. Store fat. Stay foggy. Run slow. I know what you're thinking. It can't be that simple. But when I was rowing I was training 22 hours a week and still felt broken. Now I train less than an hour a day and I'm in the best shape of my life. The training wasn't the problem. The food was. You can't out-train the wrong fuel. You can only remove it. Comment RESET and I'll show you exactly what I changed.
