why so extreme?
What are you willing to sacrifice to reach your fitness goals?
Don’t give me the soft, Instagram-ready answer.
Don’t tell me what sounds hardcore.
Alcohol?
Late nights?
Fast food?
Toxic people?
Cute. But let’s get something straight:
The only thing you need to sacrifice is whatever is currently slowing you down.
That’s it.
Not your entire social life.
Not every food you enjoy.
Not your sanity.
Some of you think becoming healthy means erasing your personality and living like a monk.
News flash:
You don’t need a military diet for civilian goals.
The Truth Most People Can’t Handle
Everybody starts with a burst of motivation and dives straight into the deep end:
❌ Zero carbs
❌ Two-a-day workouts
❌ No sugar
❌ No fun
❌ No life
And then you break.
Why? Because you didn’t build habits—you tried to sprint a marathon on day one.
Your stress goes up, cortisol spikes, your body holds fat, and you think you “failed.”
But you didn’t fail.
You attempted an extreme lifestyle you never trained for.
Only people who can handle extremes are the ones who have EARNED them:
Strongman competitors
Pro athletes
Powerlifters
People whose entire life is training
If you’re not living that life, stop pretending you should.
You Don’t Need Extremes. You Need Accountability.
You want a Dr Pepper? Drink it.
Don’t sneak it. Don’t cry about it.
Enjoy it, own it, and then tell yourself:
“Cool. Now I don’t get another for 10 days.”
That’s discipline.
That’s accountability.
That’s how real progress is made.
If you’ve never eaten clean for three meals a day for one week, why in the hell are you trying to eat clean for FIVE meals a day for TWELVE weeks?
You’re setting yourself up to fail.
And you know it.
Build up the workload.
Earn the next level.
Consistency beats perfection every single time.
Sample Blueprint for People Who Aren’t Pretending
Meal 1: 4 eggs, 3 oz sausage, spinach, ½ cup potatoes
Meal 2: 1 cup rice + 8 oz chicken + veggies
Meal 3: Granola bar + protein drink
Meal 4: 1 cup rice + 8 oz chicken + veggies
Post-workout: Eat whatever you want—normal portions, not a circus
Meal 6: 1 cup rice + 8 oz chicken + veggies
This is a structure.
Simple. Repeatable. Realistic.
You can modify it depending on goals—cutting, bulking, maintaining.
Why I Can Talk Like This
Because I live the extreme.
I’m preparing for a strongman competition, pushing for a pro card in the next couple years.
My life is training, eating, recovering, and repeating.
I CHOSE this.
Most people don’t want that world.
Most people don’t need that world.
So stop acting like you have to be perfect to be healthy.
Stop quitting over one bad day.
Stop crying about setbacks.
This journey is built on consistency, not perfection.
“Discipline doesn’t require perfection—just the guts to keep going when you’d rather quit.”
