Having a nice week so far. It's now my week off work so just trying to get my steps in. Lifting tomorrow so will be eating at a slight surplus. Trying to also eat only whole foods this week so today's meals were: 1) 400g lean ground beef, 3 eggs, rice, broccolini and kimchi. 2) 150g sirloin steak cooked in a little butter with fresh thyme. 1/2 watermelon drizzled with a little honey. 3) Later before bed I'm having some overnight oats (with 0.5% milk, 0% Greek yoghurt, chia seeds), fresh raspberries and a little honey. Apart from that trying to do stretching and zazen (Zen meditation which I've been doing since 2023) at least 4 times a week. Might go swimming this weekend with my son and want to do some boxing on the heavybag if I can fit it in. Hope everyone else is having a good week.

@Rick Agnessi coach All good and chugging along mate. It's been my work week where I burn a lot of calories, and I've been good with my diet this week. Good deficit on non-lifting days. Lost nearly 2 lbs over the last week.

Hi Ricky, Thanks for your perspective. I've always liked Greg ever since I discovered Kinobody, he always comes across as a likeable, passionate guy. Personally I think he's started to lose sight of what was unique about his approach to fitness and what made it so popular with those of us who followed it. It was his "natural" approach to fitness and getting lean and strong - and most importantly which worked - which is why his programs went absolute gangbusters. Now I don't mind taking some BCAAs, some creatine, some whey protein and some bovine collagen powder but when someone starts suggesting that injecting yourself with a substance which is medically recommended ONLY for either diabetes or people with extreme obesity to make dropping to a lower BF percentage easier, then I think it's drifted far and away from a natural attitude to nutrition and healthy fitness. Interestingly there's a guy who appears to be a pharmacologist who has been responding in the comments to Greg's video and he has ripped Greg's comments that this is entirely safe, healthy and normal to absolute shreds. I love Greg's attitude from around 2015/2016 to fitness and I don't hold anything against help nor wish him ill but this latest video is beyond the pale. I hope he comes to his senses and goes back to what were the principles of Kinobody. Greg is getting older and staying lean and strong requires more effort than it does when you're in your 20s but that's not a bad thing, it's a fun challenge and you can do it without injecting things in an attempt to alter your hunger hormones. I'll stick to the "Fitter After 40" community principles and the principles that Greg was using back in 2015/2016 to achieve my fitness goals. Sorry for the long post and I hope everyone is having a nice Easter and enjoyed the odd bit of chocolate or two ;) Tim

Happy Easter John.

Low key weekend for me, hit my steps and calorie targets. Mostly yoghurt bowls, eggs and toast, and been on a Korean thing lately so had some big bibimbap bowls for my main feasts. No lifting over the weekend but still following that stretching routine I posted and I'm really please how it's increasing my flexibility especially in my shoulders and hips already. Thought about doing some boxing practice on the heavy bag but sadly didn't. One of those weekends where I took it fairly easy ;)
