The Basics That Build Champions (Top Control Podcast – Ep. 11)with Unorthodox Nutrition

This early chat still holds up. Most wins come from simple habits you repeat weekly. Do the basics well and progress stacks up!

Here are some of the topics we covered on the Podcast;

Protein at each meal

Protein protects muscle, supports recovery, and helps control hunger. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—hit a useful target and spread it across the day.

Carbs for performance, not fear

Carbs aren’t the villain. Place them before and after tough sessions and you’ll roll harder and recover faster. On lighter days, ease them down.

Read trends, not single numbers

Daily weight jumps are normal. We use weekly averages to see the real move. Then we change one lever at a time, so we know what worked.

First steps for new clients

Set goals, map your week, pick anchor meals, and grab quick wins. Then adjust. No crash diets. No all-or-nothing rules.
