is when I was referred to Matt, I looked at his profile and obviously he's got all kinds of these pictures. He's jacked, he's shredded, but also I see on his story he's eating crumble cookies. So can you talk a little bit about what that looks like? How are you able to balance being shredded, looking phenomenal, but also getting to have these treats every once in a while?

And that's not really the image that we want to convey. Flexible dieting also takes into account things like fiber content, and, you know, we want to make sure your fluid intake— and we, you know, we need to make sure that, that you're, you're paying attention to things beyond just simply proteins, carbs, and fats. But at the same time, we understand that not food choices, but the nutrition behind the foods is what's going to affect your body.
