The Flex Success Podcast

When we talk about 'diet fatigue' we don't mean the normal feelings of hunger between meals when you start making better food choices. We are talking about that deep gnawing feeling in your stomach when you're trying to get super-super washboard abs lean. We are talking about the brain fog and heightened mental preoccupation with food, kind of lean. These symptoms are considered part of 'diet fatigue'. In this episode, Flex Coach George, the mightiest of all the Georges, talks us through some management strategies for diet fatigue... if you're mad enough to attempt this level of leanness.   Something worth sharing?

We loved this episode we recorded with the handsome and articulate Alan Flanagan way back in mid 2021, that we had to breathe some new life back into it with this replay. Similar to religion, we see people backing their diet of choice as 'the best' or 'the only true diet' that everyone else should adopt while ignoring all the potential pitfalls or deficiencies that may arise from it. We can think of this as nutrition dogmatism. In this episode, our guest Alan Flanagan offers a convincing argument for being nutritionally agnostic. Fan of the show?
