Hey Jeff question for you. What's your opinion on starting someone off in the IIFYM diets and then progressing them into meal plans and having everything preset? Im moving into meal plans now but I started and initially got hooked on bodybuilding and proper nutrition via the IIFYM diet because it made more sense in the beginning. I'm asking because I'm getting my VERY overweight cousin into this different lifestyle because he will die at 45 if he continues down his current path. Any info would be appreciated as to how I could slowly progress him into having this as a lifestyle My question might have turned elsewhere but I hope it makes sense: ) keep it up dude

Another great video Jeff I did the same thing leading up to my last show and plan on following that pattern leading into my next. All of the things you mentioned resonated personally with me as well. I feel that so many flexible dieters fear publicly being on any type of set plan because of the negative connotations that have come to be associated with them (moreso from a social/fitness culture standpoint vs a scientific one. the whole meal plans are 'bad' ideology, but there are pros and cons to each style. As always, I enjoy your intelligence and your openness with your audience about your methods

LOVE this. After doing flexible dieting for 2+ years, I've organized my macros into a meal plan and my coach's are asking that I keep my meals clean, and it's literally been 39432 times better for me mentally and physically. Nothing against flexible dieting, it clearly works so well for some people, but I've always found myself to be like you, where one taste of something small just makes me want more of it, and not being allowed to would stress me out. Love this video, I will likely be mentioning it in one of my future vlogs soon as a reference to my viewers if you don't mind, Jeff

I'm not a competitor, but I found this information really valuable. It made me realize that I too fall under the category of getting a small taste of a treat that fits my macros and finding myself wanting all of it. Plus, even as a flexible dieter (who intuitive eats when I don't have a specific goal) I find myself pretty much following my own meal plan designed around the foods that make me feel full & perform well. I feel like people cling to the titles rather than finding what works best for them - which may be a combination of approaches. Definitely subscribing

insightful take on what you did and why. good use of research standpoints as well to give others perspective and take away. always neat to see how others did and do their thing for getting best possible outcomes they seek. good stuff. i too like sticking to autopilot mode in the final month before a show. less tempting, less thought, less complex, easy to plan and prep for.

I agree with everything you said but only if close to a show and below your set point. I could definitely see how this would help with adherence. Anecdotally, I've found that looking in the pantry to decide what I wanted to eat would often turn into what I call bite stealing. Not rummaging around in there and seeing all of my sweets would have helped with that a lot.

GREAT video bro I think with social media now, people are so afraid to be labeled as bro that they do everything they can to avoid it, even if that means doing what doesn't make sense for their goals. This really shines some light on how to effectively have a balance and how the old school method can actually be more beneficial, even for flexible dieters.

Great video I too am a flexible dieter but I find that exercising some sort of a restriction on variety helps with feeling more satiated. Like how people are suddenly able to make room for dessert after feeling full from a large meal for example.

I have to agree with going with meal plans to avoid obsessing over food. Once I set my daily meals I found I didn't just impulse buy pizza or takeout since I had everything already planned and in most cases already prepared in advance.
