I left school knowing how to calculate algebraic equations.

But no one had taught me how to eat.

We’re not taught how to fuel our bodies or protect our metabolisms.

In fact, most of what we learn from mainstream media do the opposite. We learn to restrict. We rely on foods that wreck our metabolism and make weight gain almost inevitable.

So, I took matters into my own hands.

Over 1,000 hours of studying nutrition science, testing on myself, and coaching hundreds of clients.

Here are the 9 lessons I wish I had learned on day one.

1. Quality beats quantity

What you eat matters more than how much.

High-quality food lets your body balance itself.

Low-quality food drives fat storage.

You’re literally built from what you eat.

Would you rather your body be made from grass-fed beef or fries and soda?

2. Protein is king
