 I'm gonna smack myself on the old town skin. I'm gonna lose My entire fucking mind because my terabyte thing took 12 hours, and I don't have fucking time to wake God damn it. Yo, I started at come fucking. What's it called? Backing up my data last night before I went to sleep. I woke up this morning said two hours to go It told me eight hours. It was the time was not correct. Oh But my point is it's a little late this morning. We're getting up We're getting after it I had so much energy and ready to go to the gym already But I had a lot of coffee already and I already made the two different types of coffee But I had both waiting for this thing to freaking go so I can do my podcast nothing like a fucking bottleneck to fucking get Your day fucking amped, you know, I'm feeling super lean as you can tell look at these freaking forms That's what today's about dunk life daily We're on day four out of five out of my best dunk tips today's diet, bro If you've been watching my Instagram following along, you know, I eat the goddamn same thing every day That's one of my flaws which I want to get to which we'll get to What I want to go over today is What what what I eat why I eat it and what I'm learning and what I'm trying to understand better And just kind of basics. I am a nutritionist. I am a scientist I am a doctor and I know the everything there is to know about the way everything interacts with every part of your Ligaments and your fibers and everything about your body So everything I say is 100% accurate everything I say is by the book everything. I say is Held in that DSM manual that I think is for psychology edition 5 Okay, so we're gonna start off with the usual because what else is new the usual is my dinner. It's chicken Quinoa and avocados. I love it. I eat it the same thing every day But I'm not gonna start there actually because that's the end of the night, but I guess I can I'm all over the place I have too much energy for this whoo this structure is really difficult for me because I Did it three days in a row with dunk tips and straight dunk tips and straight straight information But I need to sometimes just yell and laugh at things and I this is one of those days I'm gonna try to get through it. I Fuel up the night before with that meal I like the quinoa because it's healthy carbs the first part of my diet when I really started getting strict was I cut out gluten and Processed breads and sugars. The main thing was the processed breads I was eating a ton of pasta a ton of bread for with hamburgers and sandwiches and that helped me a lot I felt like my gut got a lot healthier I learned that about gluten and the processed breads the simple carbs really destroy your gut lining So the basis of everything I eat is to keep my gut healthy And I also do intermittent fasting which is I stop eating around 10 o'clock at night and I don't eat till about noon It's about 12 to 16 hours You don't want to go more than 16 hours because then it's kind of messes with your metabolism It starts to kind of say oh, we're not eating. Okay, we're gonna hold on to everything we eat next So you want to have a fasting period to kind of reset your gut biome, but you don't want to go too long So you do in that 12 16 hour fasting is perfect. I feel great on it So I'm gonna go off on a little bit on intermittent fasting why I like it. I Fuel up the night before a ton. I'll guess I go up what I fuel up with Starting with how this is how my day goes In the I fuel up the night before and I eat my chicken my quinoa avocados I might be adding more fats more recently just to try how Jesus Christ Try that out with avocados and more eggs just because I think fats are a little bit better for explosive activity That's currently what I'm trying to learn and experiment with my body and the reason for that is because Carbs are great, but they might be a little bit more endurance and you still need cars But maybe not as much as I'm eating and I might can add substitute with more fats But it I'll keep you in tune and keep you up to date with how I feel about that So I fuel up with that chicken quinoa avocado eggs and some sweet potato too for more carbs And I fuel up a huge dinner before I go to sleep And then when I wake up, I don't eat anything. I just have black coffee I feel great and as I wake up what I love about the intermittent fasting is I wake up super awake as you can tell My energy gets just rises from there and I feel great I feel light I feel like an attack mode and I could go to the gym anywhere from like nine in the morning till The afternoon even to the evening sometimes in the afternoon if I if my workouts in the evening like five or six I'll have like a small lunch, which I do anyway oatmeal banana some fruits things like that something super light, but I keep it so light because I always feel Active it's almost like I just put a little bit of embers into the fire of my stomach and then I stay active I feel light. I feel great. I feel mentally clear as well I don't wake up sluggish if I woke up and ate a huge breakfast I'd feel like laying back down. That's me though And that's what I love about it and also the other thing about the intermittent fasting That's really helped me mentally going into a dunk session is Before that it was like oh, I need to eat a big meal to have fuel for the session just before the session like two hours before and Then that way I could be fully digested have all that energy and have a great session, but I If for any reason say I got stuck in traffic say I had anything to do that window be like oh shoot I have to eat again or I'm not or if I ate too much and it was too close to my session I'd feel too full so it was a really small window of when I could perform now with the intermittent fasting I fuel up the night before and the rest of the the whole next day I feel like I can start my workout at any time and I feel like I warm up super quick. I feel super light I feel great. I just love the consistency of my energy to put it simply So anyway, say I'm working out in the morning I'll just have black coffee maybe some fruits on the way to the gym just to get a little energy burst But usually nothing and then I have my workout and post-workout I like to have my lunch and and this goes if I have my workout after in the evening as well I just have some oatmeal for that digestion and my metabolism. It's good for me with some fruits That's always what I have for lunch different variety of fruits And then I have my veggie drink usually in the afternoon, which is spinach cucumber kale Ginger root turmeric powder. There's an R and after the you and that's this I guess there's two ways to spell it There's a debate going on. I'm on the turmeric side instead of turmeric and then I have black pepper with that too Something I learned is that you need black pepper to absorb the turmeric I don't really know also a thing of sugar-free Jell-O for the collagen And coconut water and is there anything else and then some flax seeds and chia seeds as well So all those type of things. I don't really know all the details even though I'm a certified nutritionist I'm not just kidding sounded too official The all those things I need to get my source of veggies and it's good to chew them so this makes it thick I don't really care how it tastes. That's what this whole thing is. I'm strict dunk life with all my food I mean with the veggie drink that the the dinner I have I actually love to make it I love to eat it it tastes good every single time, but it is the same thing every day So I have the veggie drink and then later in the night. I fuel up again same thing Chicken quinoa avocados sometimes some ground beef sometimes some like burger meat sometimes a ziki or bread but that's like the Scope of everything I eat and then the fruits of the variety and sometimes for dessert I have a little like almond almond butter with an apple and dark chocolate is my dessert That's it. I don't really have any other sugars besides the fruits, but the one flaw in my diet is the variety I think I do need more variety just to keep my body Guessing and keep it working because if you just give it the same thing you're kind of limiting what it can handle So it's good to kind of keep pushing it. I do have cheat Snacks here and there to keep my metabolism like working, you know, because if you only give it really good things That's not good either. It's not good to be extreme. It's good to have moderation of everything I believe so that's what I'm working with now is more variety now what the the biggest takeaways from this is The body your body is different. Everybody's body is different Some people need a lot of carbs some people need no carbs Some people need a lot of fats and people need no fats do what works for you my goal is to have consistent high energy good recovery and Stay as lean as possible and for me another mindset type of thing is that my desire to perform is so high that it's not This is not a struggle to eat like this It's a struggle when it starts to figure out what works like when I cut out bread I was like what the hell fuck do I eat? But once I found something easy to make that I really enjoy it's simple now and actually like it more making the same thing every day Because I don't have to think about it. I can make I can meal prep for a few days if I don't meal prep I know exactly how to cook it. It's super easy to cook I enjoy it and it just takes so much. I have so many other things I rather use my energy for my mental energy for that that's become a known in my world my subconscious I don't have to think about it. It's great. So I'm constantly learning about what works for my body What I'm missing the fruits was one of them. I might add some more Supplements the only supplements I take right now creatine at night because I've heard it helps your sleep and amino acids are really big So before a workout sometimes during a workout. That's the other thing I want to add I want to add some kind of nutritional shake during a workout like maybe an amino acid drink So that maybe my body can perform the best during because right now I basically have nothing in the morning for that So I think I'm going to add that But try out these different things my biggest thing is cutting out the simple simple carbs Processed foods and sugars if you cut all those out You're I feel like you're already in 95% health of what you're doing because that'll be huge I feel the leanness ever look at this. Look at this. I'm looking on the podcast right now Look at that. This is what can lean bro. I'm feeling super lean especially because I dunked on Thursday I feel super contracted feel really great super light super athletic, and I'm in my elastic phase So it's even more pronounced, but I'm feeling the most lean ever plus. I'm learning about my body every time I lift I'm thinking about that mind-body connection. So it just feels really great and my energy is super high and my My consistency the biggest thing is the consistency before this Before I was on a strict diet my consistency was up and down some days I'd feel energy sometimes I feel sluggish like cramping in my stomach like I had too much food Sometimes I'd feel like light-headed none of that anymore health That's the biggest part of the health that's helped me feel really good, and I'm sleeping really really well So that's my nutrition Tips if you want more of like your own diet plan I can help you out with that But I like it's working for me. I love the intermittent fasting. I feel like it's really helped my gut feel really healthy And like I said, I wake up great have the black coffee So I don't start my metabolism metabolism things like that But on vacation I had breakfast every every morning, and it was it was a good like a break from all those type of things But you can also have the cheat meals that um Keep your keep your body guessing. So that's that's the total of it. Let's that's it That's it. I'm fucking losing my mind a little bit Let's go to the fucking on the day in history because I know it's your favorite part It's what the part you always wait for today's august 10th 612 BC killing of sin Shrashakan king of Assyrian Empire destruction of Nineveh Was that even a sentence was just as a few facts?
