William Shewfelt: How To Get Shredded On The Carnivore Diet

William and I finally succeed in transitioning over to talk about his current area of passion and focus - becoming shredded and helping others achieve their ideal body composition goals. Now that you know where William is coming from, you can fully appreciate his recommendations for cultivating the proper mindset, exercise program, and dietary strategy to take your body composition goals to the ultimate level.

William doesn’t only dream big, he has put all his lofty goals into action by sustaining a lifestyle that allows him to maintain food satiety and great body composition all while having the energy to spare.

We speak passionately about “the black hole of cardio training” and how burning too many calories leads to sugar cravings and unnecessary cortisol hikes and he tells us how to get our dream bodies without calorie tracking or overtraining – methods that will undoubtedly exhaust you mentally and physically.

William favors an intuitive approach when it comes to workouts and eating strategy, warning against the obsessive self-quantification and tracking that can drive you nuts and burn you out. “Tracking is like riding a tricycle,” he says. In this show, you will get past the knee-jerk criticisms about carnivore-based diets and learn from someone who’s made it work very well for 1.5 years and running.

He speaks about the risks involved with eating a mostly-meaty diet and the ways he implores negating those risks altogether. William describes the rationale for leveraging fasting and ketosis and trying out the carnivore plan, whereby he increases protein intake and moderates his fat intake to make those final steps of progress to super-ripped.

William lets us in on the secret of the kind of protein that took him to his ideal body mass in a brief time period. We figure out what collagen should actually be used for, the best type and right way to consume it as well as the supplements he believes in.

By increasing nutrient density with the right foods and using the proper training, William promises you will get stronger, faster and leaner. He talks about the way to get better-looking and shapelier muscle by reverting back to the golden age of weight training. He also lets us in on the secret of just how many days we should really be lifting, how many reps we should be doing, and what pound of weights to use that hit the exact sweet spot. William demonstrates how old school beliefs meet new and how the future is unstoppable for anyone as long as they practice confidence and execution.
