Dude, 100%, it's so funny, like, any time in my training when I've reduced carbs, deliberately, like, my training always goes to shit, and not just my actual training, but my motivation to train, like, like, the, ugh, I just don't want to go, but as soon as I eat some damn carbs, I'm, I feel so hyped up, and, and this goes for all types of training. This goes for, for whether it's strength training, whether it's my jujitsu, whether it's cardio, any time I reduce carbs, I feel like dog shit, and any time I bring them back up, I feel amazing. Like, even last night, like, I had a, had a lot of carbs before, I was just doing zone two cardio on the elliptical for an hour, and my RPMs were significantly higher than several days ago, and I, I happened to have fewer carbs just because it was a, it was a, like, a crazy day. It's really, like, so many people are scared of carbs, but understanding that being able to eat them and how well they feel you, and how they feel your performance and your motivation, like, it's pretty incredible.

This is where, like, I think, you know, when people are, they're so focused on the Seaco, like, you know, just calories and calories, I don't like that. Yeah, yeah. And you think you're like, oh, and then like, hey, look, you, storing carbs is not the same as storing fat. So like, there are periods like, you know, where it's like, hey, like, right now, you, what you need is you need your muscles to be at either a maintenance or surplus, like, fat loss is a deficit specific to your fat tissue, right? Not to every cell in your body, right? Like, and that's, that's, that's the nuance of trying to find the right calorie and the right training amounts in the right macro split is like, how do I find this place where the cells that I need to feel good and perform are getting enough fuel, but I'm still in a deficit relative into, you know, total energy. Yeah. So, right, you know, so it's like, okay, because that that's what it is. Fat loss is like, okay, and what training does is it basically, it forces you to put a little bit more nutrients into your lean tissue and run some of those metabolic processes, right? So it's a way of shifting your, your metabolism and whatnot in a way that's like, hey, the, the food that I'm taking in now, this deficit is being more biased towards the fat tissue versus my, we'll say like my, you know, my thyroid or my vast, my quad or whatever, expanding a little less energy throughout the day, right? To conserve it's like, no, if you train, you kind of force your body to keep fueling and running these processes that it would otherwise maybe down regulate, you know, which is

so important not to, when a lot of people approach fat loss, they try and eat as little as possible to lose weight as quickly as possible.
