Losing weight sucks. It is hard, looks different for every person you meet and speak to, every body type you see, and following a complicated or disciplined diet can be a total nightmare.

But it does not have to be that way any longer. Not if your philosophy is rooted in the facts of how the body responds to calories. 

Sometimes the process is easier than we make it out to be… if only we are committed to the plan (ouch, the ‘c’ word) and adopt just a few new healthy habits to make it STICK for the long haul.

Today’s amazing guest is a regular on the Critical Bench YouTube channel and friend of the Strong By Design team. It is our pleasure to bring you Michael Phoutrides (pronounced Foo-Tree-Deez). Yeah, you’re welcome!

Mike might be one of the humblest guys we have ever met. He holds a BA in Molecular Biology helping dieters avoid abusive fitness industry gurus which helps you get over past diet failures one truth at time… his words! Get your notebooks ready for some nutrition wisdom.

You can get fit—it's your choice… All you got to do is go from not knowing how to do it, to knowing how to do it." – Michael Phoutrides
